Speaker 1 (00:00):
You've got to have your own list of whys.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
One of the big thrust for success is to come
up with a strong enough why.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
He who has a why can bear almost anyhow.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's time for you to look inward and begin asking
yourself the big questions, who are you?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
And what do you want? Work on your list of whys.
Here's what we learn.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
If the why is powerful, the how is easy.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
You're going to realize it one day that happiness was
never about your job, or your degree, or being in
a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps
of all of those who came before you. It was
never about being like the others. One day you're going
to see it that happiness was always about the discovery,
(00:54):
the hope, the listening to your heart and following it
wherever it chose to go. Happiness was always about being
kinder to yourself. It was always about embracing the person
you were becoming. One day you will understand that happiness
was always about learning how to live with yourself, that
(01:15):
your happiness was never in the hands of others. One
day you will realize that true happiness comes from within
and no external factors can define it. It was always
about you. It was always about you.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I say, chase your dreams, man, Do that thing, man
that keeps you up at night, that thing that bothers you,
man that makes you trip.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
You can't quit thinking about it.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
You always that that thing, man, that you wake up
in the middle of the night. You got a new idea.
That's what you got to chase, because anything else, you're
gonna forever be sad. Man. If you don't chase that dream,
you're gonna forever be miserable man.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
To get anything of value, you have to sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh, what is your purpose? Why are you here?
Speaker 5 (02:07):
It's just too hard?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Do you know that the hardest thing to do than
the right thing to do are usually the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Nothing that has meaning?
Speaker 5 (02:19):
It's easy.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
You asked for strength, and you receive challenges to become stronger.
You asked for a positive mind, and you were thrown
into darkness to find your own light.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
You see, everything has.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Its purpose, So only focus on improving yourself.
Speaker 8 (02:39):
That's all you can ever do.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Figure out what you want, ignore the opinions of others.
Do so much work. It would be unreasonable that you
fail realize it never mattered to begin with help others.
Once you get there, you've already achieved the things you
said would make you successful.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
You did all you have. You're gonna get massed potential back,
and then who knows what could come. That's a beautiful thing.
If you don't show up, guys, you know the outcome.
Speaker 9 (03:08):
You never get the job, never get the part, small
down payment, and you're willing to pay every day to
the large investment of a greater life.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
You only got one life, Guys. Again, if you work
it right, you only need one, he.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Said, Jim, if you had enough reasons, you could do
the most incredible things.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I never forgot how you put that.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
If you have enough reasons, see reasons will change your
whole life, mister Shelf said to me, he said, mister Own,
I think you've got plenty of intelligence. You've got plenty
of talent, You've got plenty of ability. Probably what you
lack is plenty of reasons.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Bascha said, I know of no better life purpose than
to perish in attempting the great and impossible. The fact
that something seems impossible shouldn't be a reason to not
pursue it. That's exactly what makes it worth pursuing. Why
would the courage and greatness be if success was certain
and there was no risk. The only true failure is
shrinking away from life's challenges.
Speaker 10 (04:13):
I don't really understand what my life's task as I
call that a master your life's task. Please help me, Robert.
You have to be patient. It's not going to come
like a light bulb in your head.
Speaker 11 (04:22):
Ah.
Speaker 10 (04:22):
I was meant to do this. I was meant to
write the forty eight Lass of Power. That's not how
it works. So I like to tell people to go
back to their early childhood memories of things that really
excited them before they got mixed up with parents and
teachers and all that other people telling them stuff.
Speaker 12 (04:38):
Because what people don't get is one day that thing's
going to come up. But we don't take a second
to realize. The purpose is always there. The purpose never
leaves us, because the very purpose is you.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But if the why isn't strong, if your goals aren't powerful,
if the vision isn't clear, the old prophet said, without
a vision, we die without a vision, we perish without
a dream.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Or nothing. Now is the best time to start, Not tomorrow,
not next week, not until next month, not next year.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Do you have to start right now.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Get out there and chase your dreams, find a venture, fall.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
In love, Take rich because trust me, worth it our problems.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
You could have anything you want if you want it
badly enough.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You can be anything you want, to be anything you.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
Said eld to accomplished if you hold that desire with
singleness of purpose.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
How come you're up so early? Say, if you were
headed where I'm at it, you'd be up early too.
If you were going to meet who I'm going.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
To meet, you'd be up early.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
If it was going to stack up for you, like
it's stacking up for me, you'd be getting that early.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
You should basically be that the person that your youngest
self wanted as a role model. Brave, courageous, earnest, honest,
virtuous like on fire. Does this quote from the ancient
Greeks that says, live as though all your ancestors were
living a gain through you.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
You got to find your why. And your why is
what's going to start you.
Speaker 13 (06:07):
And so for a lot of you, you're not doing
nothing because you don't have any purpose right now.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
You don't have a sense of purpose.
Speaker 13 (06:12):
You're not waking up for nobody, And I need you
to get that engine.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
I need that.
Speaker 13 (06:16):
Dry because you know what to do, you're the right
person to do it, but you just can't seem to
get out of it. You can't seem to do what
you're supposed to do. Every time you come up against
a trial or a tribulation, you let it stop.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
What is the antidote to worry?
Speaker 14 (06:29):
What do you think it is, Well, it's simply this.
It is purposeful action. The only real antidote to worry
is purposeful action. Everything that gets you to the point
where you can take purposeful action, where you can move and,
as Shakespeare says, take arms against the sea of troubles,
and by so doing in them. Anything that gets you
to the point where you can take purposeful action will
(06:51):
eliminate the worry. Why, because of what we call the
law of substitution.
Speaker 15 (06:56):
When you had this day, when you have reached the
hell top, deciding on next jobs, next steps, careers, further education,
you would rather find purpose than a job or a career.
Purpose crosses disciplines. Purpose is an essential element of you.
(07:19):
It is the reason you are on the planet at
this particular time in history. Your very existence is wrapped
up in the things you are here to fulfill whatever
you choose for a career path. Remember the struggles along
the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose.
Speaker 16 (07:36):
The only way to discover what your wires or what
you love is you must experience as many different things
as you can.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
You can't just read about something.
Speaker 16 (07:48):
You can't just hear someone's talk about something.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
You must experience.
Speaker 16 (07:52):
As many different things as you can.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
That is the only way.
Speaker 16 (07:56):
Otherwise you fall into the trap of doing something you
don't love because you ever actually tried it beforehand.
Speaker 12 (08:02):
So if you wake up in the morning and you
don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Man, why am I not doing this for myself?
Speaker 12 (08:11):
Because that is the number one purpose in life is
to better oneself.
Speaker 16 (08:18):
The great line, it's the you know, if you want
to find out what you should do in life, what
do you think about all the time?
Speaker 5 (08:27):
That's your God.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
See, you can do anything.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You can get up any hour, read any book, take
any class, make any change, develop any skill, do any discipline.
And my personal question to you is why not you?
Speaker 9 (08:41):
You might think that bed's warm, it feels all comfortable.
You come here, you kill it, give it everything you have,
leave it, all here.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
The warmth you feel after that.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Second to none man, second to none, No, she can
provide that comfort for you. When you give it all here, guys,
and you leave it all here, you are your weakest states,
bottom of the barrel. What's about to happen? Your greatest triumph?
You kill yourself on pride in here, leave nothing spared.
(09:13):
What's gonna come? The growth of opportunity.
Speaker 17 (09:17):
I have never met anybody who became incredibly successful in
any area of their life until they had suffered, had sweated,
had sacrificed, had kept their focus, had through tears and
trials and tests. And if you have a dream and
you commit to it, and well, come to pash.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
What's your why?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (09:41):
If I don't give y'all nothing else, you better start that.
What's your why? You know why? I do what I do,
and I do it.
Speaker 11 (09:46):
So passionate because my grandfather was a high school dropout.
My father was a high school dropout. I was a
high school dropout, and were about to break the cycle.
I do what I do so my son won't have
to go through what I went through.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
I'm about to give everything I got and I won't know. Oh,
if I'll get another gig. It won't happy to do
with the fact that and put everything.
Speaker 18 (10:04):
On the field.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
What's your wah, Why don't you wake up in the morning.
Speaker 19 (10:11):
Problem with the pursuit of happiness is that when life
storms come along, happiness disappears and then you're left with nothing.
So you need to pursue something that's deeper than happiness.
And if happiness comes along, well, then hooray for you.
You don't want to despise it because it's fleeting, but
it's much better to pursue things that are meaningful than
things that make you happy. It's deeper, and it orients
(10:35):
you more appropriately in it, and it keeps you centered
in your own life. It makes you more useful for
your family and your community. And it's a relief to
young people to know that the baseline conditions of life
are difficult, but then you can still prevail.
Speaker 10 (10:49):
Your purpose in life is something that you're born with.
It's like your destiny. This is what you are meant
to accomplish. So we humans are not born with that
purpose engraved in our heads. You know, animals don't wake
up and go what am I going to do today?
I can go here, I can hunt for this down.
I'm I can hun for that, anam I can eat this? No,
they don't. They operate by instinct. They have a purpose,
it's automatic almost. We have to find our purpose and
(11:12):
because it's so deepen and so important that if we
don't find it'll find it somewhere else. It needs something
to live forward.
Speaker 20 (11:19):
You know what I want you to understand. Everything you
say yes to is you saying no to something else.
There is nothing that you say yes to that doesn't
cost you something. And you need to pay attention to
what you're saying yes to because you may actually be
saying no.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
To your future.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Because people who achieve greatness.
Speaker 20 (11:39):
Make a decision to live a life that is self
sacrificing and that has deferred gratification. Just because it brings
you pleasure doesn't mean.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
It gives you purpose.
Speaker 20 (11:55):
If you keep living your life for what you want today,
you will not be creating the life you want tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
One of the major reasons for setting goals is for
what they make of you in achieving them.
Speaker 21 (12:15):
Hey, you know, sometimes you gotta go why, You've got
to go far and you have to do something crazy
to get somewhere new or do something special It's just life.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
The best things, the best things.
Speaker 21 (12:31):
They're not easy, and hey, you might feel improbable, it
might feel impossible, but you gotta do Trust me on
this one.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
I think it'll work out. Give it a try, all.
Speaker 22 (12:41):
Right, And I want to talk to you about discovering
your purpose. Do you know when you discovering your purpose,
that's when your life really begins. Think about it. You
know it's been said there's two important days in your life.
The day you're born and the day you discover what
you are born. That's why are you out of bed
in the morning. It's why you get up and get going.
(13:03):
You have a purpose in life. Now without a purpose,
you're just wandering around no direction. See, I honestly believe
every one of us are hardwired to do something. If
there's something we've got a talent and ability within us
that will just blossom when we find.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It, you know you should risk it, do some crazy
take a chance.
Speaker 23 (13:26):
Because I know that tumfort is great, and the couch
is great, and your bed is great. But I promise
you somewhere, somewhere far, some more wild, somewhere you feel lost,
you might find yourself.
Speaker 24 (13:38):
I don't know, Shu what's the one question you can
ask yourself to help you find your purpose? The one
question to ask yourself right now, the only time to
ask it is right now that will find your purpose
in life?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Is what is the next right thing in front of me?
Speaker 18 (13:55):
Now?
Speaker 24 (13:55):
We do not figure out our purpose and by trying
to project ourselves into the future and coming up with
some grandiose.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Plan, that's not how it's done.
Speaker 24 (14:04):
You have to understand that is constantly orchestrating everything perfectly.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
To put you on the path that will lead to
that ultimate goal.
Speaker 24 (14:12):
But the way that you get there is step by step,
the next step, the step in front of you. So
don't ask yourself what am I meant to be doing
five ten years from now?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Ask yourself, what can I do to be useful at.
Speaker 24 (14:24):
This very moment, as small as it seems, as mundane
as it seems, But that is the direction. That's the
step that will get you to the end goal where
you will be able to look back in retrospect and
see that you've lived a life of purpose.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Is there a version of yourself that's better than you
are right now?
Speaker 25 (14:42):
And most people hopefully would say yes, it's like great,
accept that person to me. When we talk about the authenticity,
accepting yourself is accepting the ideal that we can live
up to, and that's that is what we accept, not
the shitty version of that that we are today.
Speaker 13 (15:00):
I need you to confront you because you don't want
holding you up. I need you to confront you. I
need you to look in.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
The mirror and tell you are not gonna do me
like this no more. You're not gonna continue to sabotage me.
You're not. You're not gonna keep procrastinating.
Speaker 17 (15:15):
I need you.
Speaker 8 (15:16):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But if you don't get busy and work on it,
sure enough the time will pass, and sure enough, five
years from now, you will wind up where you don't
want to be, wearing what you don't want to wear,
driving what.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You don't want to drive, being what you don't want
to be. Now's the time to fix it.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
You must be able to see it, mister Anderson. You
must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless
to keep fighting. Why mister Anderson, Why why do you persist?
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Because I'm chust him.
Speaker 26 (15:50):
In twenty seventeen, char Leclair lost his father, and in
these final days he told his father a white lie
that he'd made it to Formula one, signed the contract.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
He wasn't true then, but.
Speaker 26 (16:03):
He's driving has made it true now.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
And look what he's done with the opportunity.
Speaker 26 (16:09):
The grandstance he saw built as a kids growing up
now rise for him. And for the first time in
ninety three years, this fabled.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Race is won by one of their own.
Speaker 26 (16:22):
Chao LaClair wins the Monaco Grand Prix.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
We want it finally.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
There's that quote about a the ironic tragedy is that
life has to be lived forward but only makes sense
and reverse.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, ironic tragedy. Who said that you can't quit?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Man?
Speaker 8 (16:47):
You got to stay with it.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Somebody having it way harder than you, and they didn't
give up.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
We all think about quitting.
Speaker 27 (16:54):
It's hard.
Speaker 19 (16:55):
There's gonna be days when you're aching and tired and sore,
and there's people in your family that are and you're
cynical and bitter and you need a reason to get off.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
The purpose is always there. The purpose never leaves us
because the very purpose is you. You are always the purpose.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I don't really care what you do. It doesn't matter
what you're doing. It's you that counts.
Speaker 22 (17:16):
And the more you understand you, the better your results
you're going to get.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You have to be crazy enough to think that it's possible.
Speaker 28 (17:23):
Sometimes you have to create a delusion, even if you
got to lie yourself into believing.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
That's how you do something worthwhile.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
You have to believe it's possible, complete delusion.
Speaker 18 (17:33):
You got to believe the delusion because it's only delusional
until it works.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Your mind is designed to help you.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Get what you want.
Speaker 14 (17:43):
You just have to be willing to believe it's possible.
Speaker 28 (17:47):
And when you believe something is possible, everything else will
figure itself out.
Speaker 14 (17:53):
Now we come to the final question, what is the
purpose of life? What is the purpose of your life?
Why are you here? Why do you exist at all?
Why do you get up in the morning, Why do
you have a life? Why are you on the earth?
Is it simply to be born, to grow up, to work,
to reproduce, to die or is there something else? In
my estimation, there is something else, something far more important.
(18:17):
In this session, I want to talk to you about
my discoveries and my thoughts about what the true purpose.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Of life is.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
The two purpose of.
Speaker 14 (18:23):
Life in my estimation, is to find a mission. Some
of the wisest men and women of this century and
of previous centuries have looked at this whole idea of
why a human being is put on this earth, and
they've come to the conclusion that we have put on
this earth to fulfill our potential by finding our true
mission in life. Amid Fox calls this your heart's desire.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
If you don't know where you want to go, who
you want to be, you eventually just float around.
Speaker 18 (18:51):
Then you eventually crash.
Speaker 28 (18:53):
Most people walk around with no goals, no ambition. They
don't know where they're going. It's like a ship with
no destination. If you don't know where you're going, you'll
never get there.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Ask yourself this.
Speaker 29 (19:02):
If I had a gun to your head and I said,
pick the one thing that you want to do in
life that would just make you absolutely happy, would give
you a sense of fulfillment and peace of mind. Never
mind it it's not going to make you money. The
thing that you would do if money was not an.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Issue, what is it?
Speaker 28 (19:17):
Once you know where you want to go, then you
direct your time, your energy, and your attention to the
execution and the achievement of that goal. It's all about intention.
But most people walk around in life thinking that life
is just a big.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Fat lottery and it's just not that case.
Speaker 28 (19:32):
Those that live by the lottery of life most likely
end up losing.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Now here's the next exercise.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Now I want you to answer this question, what kind
of person must I become to achieve all I want?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And I'll give you time to write that down.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Then what kind of person must I become to achieve
all I want? What you become helps you to achieve,
and what you achieve helped.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You to become.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And the more you become, the more you can achieve,
and the more you achieve, the more you can become.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Who knows which affects the other the most?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So now just write this exercise, start with a few
sentences your concept of the person you think you must
become to achieve what you want. Time for a little
truth here. Maybe you need to become much wiser than
you are at the moment. You need to become stronger,
you need to have better health. Maybe you need a
little coaching to really become the person I want to become.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I'm going to have to have some coaching.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Physical coaching, spiritual coaching, developing skills coaching to be the
influence you want to be.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
You got to build an incredible reputation.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
What kind of person must I be to attract all
that I want in my life and the people that
I want and the opportunities that I want.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Jimmy Cobb broke my brain with this one. Everyone is
jealous of what you've got, No one is jealous of
how you got it.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
The man says, I will climb the mountain.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's
too rocky, it's too difficult, it's never been done. But
it's my mountain. I will climb it pretty soon. You'll
see me waiting from the top. Or did it on
the side because I ain't coming back?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That is the definition promise yourself.
Speaker 27 (21:16):
You really did.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I asked the kids how long should a baby try
to learn how to walk?
Speaker 8 (21:25):
How long?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
How long would you give your average baby before you
shut them off?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
How long? See any of mines in the world would say,
you're crazy. My baby's going to keep trying until it learns.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
How to walk.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
What imagining for you?
Speaker 30 (21:41):
What if you did it? What if you actually did it?
How do you think you'd feel? I mean, just for
a minute, think about what your life would look like?
If you hit every goal that you have, if you
actually went out into everything you said you were going
to do, what would your life look like when you'll
get to the.
Speaker 13 (21:59):
Point where it hurt real bad, when you get to
the point you can't take it no more. When you
get to that point, you cannot quit doing the process.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
You cannot give up.
Speaker 31 (22:09):
But once you realize you're not gonna be around for
our life, I think that's what makes life so much
a gold. One day you'll eat your last meal, smell
your last flower, hug your friend for the very last time.
You might not notice the last time. So that's why you
should do everything you love with passion. You know, treasure
is a few years you've got because that's all there is.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Inside.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
We grow, We start from here.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
And it comes out.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
This workout is called victorial pride, chess work.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Out the private within.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
It's gonna give birth to.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
The strength and the capability of the fundamental structure that
we're gonna achieve this stuff. And from within, we're not
worried about the sun, the clouds, the fucking people in
the parking lots.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Worry about our mission.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
At hand, and we're gonna achieve that mission.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
I believe you are purpose. I believe you are purpose.
You're it for a purpose.
Speaker 32 (23:01):
Like we know the statistics, it's like a zero percent
chance of you being you.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
You are that.
Speaker 32 (23:06):
So when you operate from maryth it gives you that
confidence that I am that It's not something I've search for.
You can take your life wherever you want to take it.
What you're looking for is placement, right. It's like, so
for me, rehab time is not my purpose, it's my placement.
I can take Trent to down the street and go
impact lives because I am purpose right football. If my
(23:29):
mom is right back, then I could use that platform
to be who I am.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
So you can take your life anywhere.
Speaker 32 (23:35):
And I want people to know that because some people
think when you lose your dream or you lose something,
that it's over.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
But you didn't lose who you are.
Speaker 32 (23:41):
You lost that thing, that placement.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
What shall I do well for progress? You must decide.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
The best advice I can give you came from a
wealthy friend of mine who said.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
If it's easy, do it easy.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
If it's hard, do it are, just get it done.
If you went home tonight and in the next few
days cleaned up a whole list of decisions that might furnish.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Enough inspiration for the next ten years.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I found this out many times, after you've decided, getting
on with it is easier than deciding. Sometimes decision is
the tempest one. Here's the next emotion, desire wanting too
bad enough, And I don't know how to tell you
to want to.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
That's something you've got to come up with. There's two
things I know about desire. Number One, it comes from inside,
not outside. You don't send off for it.
Speaker 14 (24:43):
Your heart's desire is something that is placed deep down
inside you, maybe even before you're born, and it's something
that calls to you and sings to you and lures
you on throughout your life. And the reason that we
say that only one or two or five out of
one hundred people fulfill their potential in any given generations
is because most people ignore the callings of his heart's desire.
(25:05):
They push it aside, they ignore it, They pretend it
isn't there. They get involved in bills and families and
business and careers, and this tugs at them. Sometimes they
don't get into it until later on in life. That
every single person has the ability to establish for themselves
a mission.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
And on my list of things.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Now I put everything, little things as well as major things.
It doesn't matter how small it is, it goes on
my list. I used to just put major things, cars, homes.
I don't do that anymore. I now looked my list
with everything everything. See, we all grow from two experiences.
One is called the pain of losing. The other one
is called the joy of winning.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
My coach told me.
Speaker 33 (25:44):
Coach Smith told me, I'll never be nothing from that
day forward. I made a promise that I will give
it everything I got. I'm ready to die for what
I had to I had to succeed. I have to
give it everything I got. That way, I'm a winner,
no matter.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
What they say.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
The Gray's achievement of somebody comes right after their worst defeat.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
When they hit rock bottom, hit the bottom of the barrel.
They had nothing left. Everyone's giving up on them.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
They've lost all their worldly possessions, the dead broken on
their back. It's at that point, guys, when everything's lost,
that everything can be gained. There's no more ego there
is there they let go of you.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Know the you know what if I fail?
Speaker 9 (26:28):
What if it doesn't work, what if I don't like
where this person rejects me, the animosity, the pressures of society,
let it all go, because they've lost it all. They're
just now left with the intestinal fortitude.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
The pride within.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Do I want to stay on the bottomless barrel or
I climb the fuck out of his hole?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Check the size of your goals and the kinds of goals,
how big they are, what kind they are, affects you.
And here's one of the important phrases of the evening.
Your goals are affecting you whatever they are.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Your goals affect your attitude, personality.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Your goals affect the way you walk, the way you talk,
the way you dress. All day long. We're being affected
by our goals. Now, some people have goals, but they
have such lousy goal. I ask a guy one time,
what are your goals for this month? The guy said, look,
if I could just scrape up enough money to pay
(27:24):
these lousy bills, that was this goal. I'm not saying
it isn't the goal. It's a goal, but it's such
a lousy goal. The effect is bad.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
So what is it?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
We say?
Speaker 34 (27:36):
We're all trying to achieve in life, what are we pursuing?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Happiness is usually the word.
Speaker 34 (27:42):
I propose this forget happiness, how about go for joy.
Happiness is usually a destination, a place we think if
we get there, then I will be happy.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
But joy is different. It's not a destination. It's the
process of living, of.
Speaker 34 (27:58):
Finding joy and what we're fashioned to do, and when
we do it well, it's more joyful.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
If we don't do it well, we can find joy
and going.
Speaker 34 (28:06):
Well, I'm going to try it next time. Joy is
a process. Happiness is a destination. I think we'd all
be a lot cooler and better and truer people if
we found the joy in the process and didn't keep
trying to pursue the result of destination that we call happiness,
which is really unattainable.
Speaker 35 (28:24):
I think we look down now to sixteen year olds
and say where are you going to go to college?
What are you going to do for the rest of
your life? And it's like they're not fully baked yet.
How do they know? Give them a break, just say look,
I think after high school, take a year off, take
(28:45):
two years off, join the Peace Corps, travel, go figure
things out, or just enjoy yourself for the first time
in their lives. They're adults and they don't have to
be somewhere. They're not told to be somewhere. Get you
to that freedom, get used to having the need to
self govern yourself. You know, to be able to employ
(29:09):
self discipline.
Speaker 36 (29:10):
You just have to live. You just have to live.
You just have to act your age. If you're twenty six,
be twenty six. Stop trying to be fifty six. It's
not expected, and it's a burden that you don't have
to carry. You will not be the man that you
want to be until you grow into it.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You have to grow into it.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Probably what you lack is plenty of reasons. You've got
enough intelligence, but not enough reasons. Here's what else I
found out. Reasons come first, answers come second. You don't
get the answers to do well till you get the reasons.
Life has a mysterious way of hanging on to all
the answers and only gives them.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Up to the people that are in fired by reasons.
Speaker 37 (30:01):
When you concentrate and work intensely on an important task,
it gives you a feeling of energy and enthusiasm. When
you complete an important task, your self esteem goes up.
You feel like a winner, You feel great about yourself.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
If you have a list of.
Speaker 38 (30:13):
Tasks to do and you choose to do your most
important task and you complete it, you get a rush.
It's called an endorphin rush, and your brain releases endorphins
just flood your system and make you actually feel exhilarated.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
You almost laugh out loud.
Speaker 38 (30:29):
You're happy, your heartbreat goes up, you're smiling. Sometimes you
will stay or work late at night to complete a task,
and you get it done at two or three in
the morning, and you finish it, and even though you
should be exhausted, you're happy. You can't sleep, You walk
it around, you watch television. I mean, because you feel great.
Speaker 39 (30:47):
But if you work away on low priority tasks, even
if you complete them and do them well, you don't
get any excitement or thrill from doing something that's not important.
The very worst thing in the world is to do
very well with what need not be done at all.
Speaker 18 (31:01):
Because we're I'm meant to grow. If you ask people,
ask me what does it take to be happy? You
met millions of people as a taken, so many people unhappy.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Well.
Speaker 18 (31:08):
Relationships are one of the keys to that. But there
is one key even within relationship progress progress equals happiness.
If you go and achieve some huge goal. You know,
if you've ever done this and then chieve it, you
have one or two experiences. Either go is this all
there is after you achieved it, which is horrible feels
worse than failing, or you go, Wow, this is amazing
and you celebrate. But how long do you feel good
(31:28):
for after achieving some great goal? Five years, the year,
six months? Right?
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Why?
Speaker 18 (31:35):
Because we're not meant to just sit at the table
success and get fat, you sepport, We're meant to grow.
And when we grow, when we make progress, we few alive.
And what makes us feel most alive? Right when you're
a life and a mind too. Knowing you as a
person is when you grow you have something to give.
And what makes life meaningful is not just a happy
life is not always happening, But a meaningful life is
a life where you served something more than yourself, something
that einging the energy insite wil to be serving your
(31:57):
kids and family, or your business or something in your
communit hear something.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
In the wall.
Speaker 40 (32:01):
Your laziness is something that has to do with you.
You're not connected to something deep enough. You don't feel
the necessity you don't feel the devil at your heels.
You don't feel the fact that you could very well
die tomorrow. It will impel you to get something done.
There's no necessity behind it. And the healan animal that
we will created is when we feel pressure, we feel
(32:24):
the necessity to get things done, we can mountains. But
when there're pressure releases and we don't feel the need
to get something done, we could become incredibly lazy because
there's no necessity. So you have to create necessity in
your life. You have to create the need to get
things done.
Speaker 41 (32:44):
Unhappiness is when your expectations of how life is meant
to be going go unmad. And this explains why a
kid in Africa who gets rice, I was born in Africa.
I was born in Byflorida. Kid in Africa who gets
rice can be euphoric. But a billionaire and a Minchin
star restaurant in West London, his three Michelin star steak
(33:04):
comes without the sprinkle of dust or whatever shit they
put on it, he will be visibly pissed off and
complain because his expectations of the world and how life
should be going going there. So one of the ways
that you can make sure you're happy. It's not line beginnings.
It's just like having better expectations.
Speaker 42 (33:22):
But society becomes great when old men plant trees under
the shade of which they know they'll never sit.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
You gotta do something.
Speaker 42 (33:33):
There's gonna leave something for somebody else's enjoyment that you
know you won't even be there to enjoy.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
I know I won't be under that shade.
Speaker 42 (33:41):
I know I won't, but I planted them so my
grandkids will be.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Walking through their forms and need some big trees. That
tree fifty years old. Your granddad, Papa Hardt put through
trees there.
Speaker 27 (34:00):
How do I just keep getting up and going and
going and going. But I had a purpose before everybody
had an opinion. It's not about anybody else. It's not
about anybody else. It's just about going to do it
because that's what you want. That's what you said out there.
Speaker 18 (34:12):
To go do.
Speaker 27 (34:13):
So I've always been my biggest critic that you continue
to stay that way.
Speaker 43 (34:17):
Maybe your purpose in life isn't related to your job.
Maybe your job is your job, and the job is
the thing that supports you, and then the rest of
your waking hours are devoted to your purpose, whatever that is.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Yeah, and a lot of us are trying to make
it the same thing.
Speaker 43 (34:35):
Yeah, and it's beautiful when it happens, but it doesn't
always happen, and it's out of our control. Also, we
can decide. I would say, if you need to have
a job to support yourself, that's great, that's a noble
thing to do. And follow your dreams, but I'm not
saying they're one thing. They don't have to be one thing,
(34:58):
and don't let following your dream undermine your ability to
support yourself. It could do it could actually do the
opposite
You've got to have your own list of whys.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
One of the big thrust for success is to come
up with a strong enough why.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
He who has a why can bear almost anyhow.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's time for you to look inward and begin asking
yourself the big questions, who are you?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
And what do you want? Work on your list of whys.
Here's what we learn.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
If the why is powerful, the how is easy.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
You're going to realize it one day that happiness was
never about your job, or your degree, or being in
a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps
of all of those who came before you. It was
never about being like the others. One day you're going
to see it that happiness was always about the discovery,
(00:54):
the hope, the listening to your heart and following it
wherever it chose to go. Happiness was always about being
kinder to yourself. It was always about embracing the person
you were becoming. One day you will understand that happiness
was always about learning how to live with yourself, that
(01:15):
your happiness was never in the hands of others. One
day you will realize that true happiness comes from within
and no external factors can define it. It was always
about you. It was always about you.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I say, chase your dreams, man, Do that thing, man
that keeps you up at night, that thing that bothers you,
man that makes you trip.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
You can't quit thinking about it.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
You always that that thing, man, that you wake up
in the middle of the night. You got a new idea.
That's what you got to chase, because anything else, you're
gonna forever be sad. Man. If you don't chase that dream,
you're gonna forever be miserable man.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
To get anything of value, you have to sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh, what is your purpose? Why are you here?
Speaker 5 (02:07):
It's just too hard?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Do you know that the hardest thing to do than
the right thing to do are usually the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Nothing that has meaning?
Speaker 5 (02:19):
It's easy.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
You asked for strength, and you receive challenges to become stronger.
You asked for a positive mind, and you were thrown
into darkness to find your own light.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
You see, everything has.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Its purpose, So only focus on improving yourself.
Speaker 8 (02:39):
That's all you can ever do.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Figure out what you want, ignore the opinions of others.
Do so much work. It would be unreasonable that you
fail realize it never mattered to begin with help others.
Once you get there, you've already achieved the things you
said would make you successful.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
You did all you have. You're gonna get massed potential back,
and then who knows what could come. That's a beautiful thing.
If you don't show up, guys, you know the outcome.
Speaker 9 (03:08):
You never get the job, never get the part, small
down payment, and you're willing to pay every day to
the large investment of a greater life.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
You only got one life, Guys. Again, if you work
it right, you only need one, he.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Said, Jim, if you had enough reasons, you could do
the most incredible things.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I never forgot how you put that.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
If you have enough reasons, see reasons will change your
whole life, mister Shelf said to me, he said, mister Own,
I think you've got plenty of intelligence. You've got plenty
of talent, You've got plenty of ability. Probably what you
lack is plenty of reasons.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Bascha said, I know of no better life purpose than
to perish in attempting the great and impossible. The fact
that something seems impossible shouldn't be a reason to not
pursue it. That's exactly what makes it worth pursuing. Why
would the courage and greatness be if success was certain
and there was no risk. The only true failure is
shrinking away from life's challenges.
Speaker 10 (04:13):
I don't really understand what my life's task as I
call that a master your life's task. Please help me, Robert.
You have to be patient. It's not going to come
like a light bulb in your head.
Speaker 11 (04:22):
Ah.
Speaker 10 (04:22):
I was meant to do this. I was meant to
write the forty eight Lass of Power. That's not how
it works. So I like to tell people to go
back to their early childhood memories of things that really
excited them before they got mixed up with parents and
teachers and all that other people telling them stuff.
Speaker 12 (04:38):
Because what people don't get is one day that thing's
going to come up. But we don't take a second
to realize. The purpose is always there. The purpose never
leaves us, because the very purpose is you.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But if the why isn't strong, if your goals aren't powerful,
if the vision isn't clear, the old prophet said, without
a vision, we die without a vision, we perish without
a dream.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Or nothing. Now is the best time to start, Not tomorrow,
not next week, not until next month, not next year.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Do you have to start right now.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Get out there and chase your dreams, find a venture, fall.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
In love, Take rich because trust me, worth it our problems.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
You could have anything you want if you want it
badly enough.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You can be anything you want, to be anything you.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
Said eld to accomplished if you hold that desire with
singleness of purpose.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
How come you're up so early? Say, if you were
headed where I'm at it, you'd be up early too.
If you were going to meet who I'm going.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
To meet, you'd be up early.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
If it was going to stack up for you, like
it's stacking up for me, you'd be getting that early.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
You should basically be that the person that your youngest
self wanted as a role model. Brave, courageous, earnest, honest,
virtuous like on fire. Does this quote from the ancient
Greeks that says, live as though all your ancestors were
living a gain through you.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
You got to find your why. And your why is
what's going to start you.
Speaker 13 (06:07):
And so for a lot of you, you're not doing
nothing because you don't have any purpose right now.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
You don't have a sense of purpose.
Speaker 13 (06:12):
You're not waking up for nobody, And I need you
to get that engine.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
I need that.
Speaker 13 (06:16):
Dry because you know what to do, you're the right
person to do it, but you just can't seem to
get out of it. You can't seem to do what
you're supposed to do. Every time you come up against
a trial or a tribulation, you let it stop.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
What is the antidote to worry?
Speaker 14 (06:29):
What do you think it is, Well, it's simply this.
It is purposeful action. The only real antidote to worry
is purposeful action. Everything that gets you to the point
where you can take purposeful action, where you can move and,
as Shakespeare says, take arms against the sea of troubles,
and by so doing in them. Anything that gets you
to the point where you can take purposeful action will
(06:51):
eliminate the worry. Why, because of what we call the
law of substitution.
Speaker 15 (06:56):
When you had this day, when you have reached the
hell top, deciding on next jobs, next steps, careers, further education,
you would rather find purpose than a job or a career.
Purpose crosses disciplines. Purpose is an essential element of you.
(07:19):
It is the reason you are on the planet at
this particular time in history. Your very existence is wrapped
up in the things you are here to fulfill whatever
you choose for a career path. Remember the struggles along
the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose.
Speaker 16 (07:36):
The only way to discover what your wires or what
you love is you must experience as many different things
as you can.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
You can't just read about something.
Speaker 16 (07:48):
You can't just hear someone's talk about something.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
You must experience.
Speaker 16 (07:52):
As many different things as you can.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
That is the only way.
Speaker 16 (07:56):
Otherwise you fall into the trap of doing something you
don't love because you ever actually tried it beforehand.
Speaker 12 (08:02):
So if you wake up in the morning and you
don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Man, why am I not doing this for myself?
Speaker 12 (08:11):
Because that is the number one purpose in life is
to better oneself.
Speaker 16 (08:18):
The great line, it's the you know, if you want
to find out what you should do in life, what
do you think about all the time?
Speaker 5 (08:27):
That's your God.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
See, you can do anything.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You can get up any hour, read any book, take
any class, make any change, develop any skill, do any discipline.
And my personal question to you is why not you?
Speaker 9 (08:41):
You might think that bed's warm, it feels all comfortable.
You come here, you kill it, give it everything you have,
leave it, all here.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
The warmth you feel after that.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Second to none man, second to none, No, she can
provide that comfort for you. When you give it all here, guys,
and you leave it all here, you are your weakest states,
bottom of the barrel. What's about to happen? Your greatest triumph?
You kill yourself on pride in here, leave nothing spared.
(09:13):
What's gonna come? The growth of opportunity.
Speaker 17 (09:17):
I have never met anybody who became incredibly successful in
any area of their life until they had suffered, had sweated,
had sacrificed, had kept their focus, had through tears and
trials and tests. And if you have a dream and
you commit to it, and well, come to pash.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
What's your why?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (09:41):
If I don't give y'all nothing else, you better start that.
What's your why? You know why? I do what I do,
and I do it.
Speaker 11 (09:46):
So passionate because my grandfather was a high school dropout.
My father was a high school dropout. I was a
high school dropout, and were about to break the cycle.
I do what I do so my son won't have
to go through what I went through.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
I'm about to give everything I got and I won't know. Oh,
if I'll get another gig. It won't happy to do
with the fact that and put everything.
Speaker 18 (10:04):
On the field.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
What's your wah, Why don't you wake up in the morning.
Speaker 19 (10:11):
Problem with the pursuit of happiness is that when life
storms come along, happiness disappears and then you're left with nothing.
So you need to pursue something that's deeper than happiness.
And if happiness comes along, well, then hooray for you.
You don't want to despise it because it's fleeting, but
it's much better to pursue things that are meaningful than
things that make you happy. It's deeper, and it orients
(10:35):
you more appropriately in it, and it keeps you centered
in your own life. It makes you more useful for
your family and your community. And it's a relief to
young people to know that the baseline conditions of life
are difficult, but then you can still prevail.
Speaker 10 (10:49):
Your purpose in life is something that you're born with.
It's like your destiny. This is what you are meant
to accomplish. So we humans are not born with that
purpose engraved in our heads. You know, animals don't wake
up and go what am I going to do today?
I can go here, I can hunt for this down.
I'm I can hun for that, anam I can eat this? No,
they don't. They operate by instinct. They have a purpose,
it's automatic almost. We have to find our purpose and
(11:12):
because it's so deepen and so important that if we
don't find it'll find it somewhere else. It needs something
to live forward.
Speaker 20 (11:19):
You know what I want you to understand. Everything you
say yes to is you saying no to something else.
There is nothing that you say yes to that doesn't
cost you something. And you need to pay attention to
what you're saying yes to because you may actually be
saying no.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
To your future.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Because people who achieve greatness.
Speaker 20 (11:39):
Make a decision to live a life that is self
sacrificing and that has deferred gratification. Just because it brings
you pleasure doesn't mean.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
It gives you purpose.
Speaker 20 (11:55):
If you keep living your life for what you want today,
you will not be creating the life you want tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
One of the major reasons for setting goals is for
what they make of you in achieving them.
Speaker 21 (12:15):
Hey, you know, sometimes you gotta go why, You've got
to go far and you have to do something crazy
to get somewhere new or do something special It's just life.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
The best things, the best things.
Speaker 21 (12:31):
They're not easy, and hey, you might feel improbable, it
might feel impossible, but you gotta do Trust me on
this one.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
I think it'll work out. Give it a try, all.
Speaker 22 (12:41):
Right, And I want to talk to you about discovering
your purpose. Do you know when you discovering your purpose,
that's when your life really begins. Think about it. You
know it's been said there's two important days in your life.
The day you're born and the day you discover what
you are born. That's why are you out of bed
in the morning. It's why you get up and get going.
(13:03):
You have a purpose in life. Now without a purpose,
you're just wandering around no direction. See, I honestly believe
every one of us are hardwired to do something. If
there's something we've got a talent and ability within us
that will just blossom when we find.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It, you know you should risk it, do some crazy
take a chance.
Speaker 23 (13:26):
Because I know that tumfort is great, and the couch
is great, and your bed is great. But I promise
you somewhere, somewhere far, some more wild, somewhere you feel lost,
you might find yourself.
Speaker 24 (13:38):
I don't know, Shu what's the one question you can
ask yourself to help you find your purpose? The one
question to ask yourself right now, the only time to
ask it is right now that will find your purpose
in life?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Is what is the next right thing in front of me?
Speaker 18 (13:55):
Now?
Speaker 24 (13:55):
We do not figure out our purpose and by trying
to project ourselves into the future and coming up with
some grandiose.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Plan, that's not how it's done.
Speaker 24 (14:04):
You have to understand that is constantly orchestrating everything perfectly.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
To put you on the path that will lead to
that ultimate goal.
Speaker 24 (14:12):
But the way that you get there is step by step,
the next step, the step in front of you. So
don't ask yourself what am I meant to be doing
five ten years from now?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Ask yourself, what can I do to be useful at.
Speaker 24 (14:24):
This very moment, as small as it seems, as mundane
as it seems, But that is the direction. That's the
step that will get you to the end goal where
you will be able to look back in retrospect and
see that you've lived a life of purpose.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Is there a version of yourself that's better than you
are right now?
Speaker 25 (14:42):
And most people hopefully would say yes, it's like great,
accept that person to me. When we talk about the authenticity,
accepting yourself is accepting the ideal that we can live
up to, and that's that is what we accept, not
the shitty version of that that we are today.
Speaker 13 (15:00):
I need you to confront you because you don't want
holding you up. I need you to confront you. I
need you to look in.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
The mirror and tell you are not gonna do me
like this no more. You're not gonna continue to sabotage me.
You're not. You're not gonna keep procrastinating.
Speaker 17 (15:15):
I need you.
Speaker 8 (15:16):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But if you don't get busy and work on it,
sure enough the time will pass, and sure enough, five
years from now, you will wind up where you don't
want to be, wearing what you don't want to wear,
driving what.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You don't want to drive, being what you don't want
to be. Now's the time to fix it.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
You must be able to see it, mister Anderson. You
must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless
to keep fighting. Why mister Anderson, Why why do you persist?
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Because I'm chust him.
Speaker 26 (15:50):
In twenty seventeen, char Leclair lost his father, and in
these final days he told his father a white lie
that he'd made it to Formula one, signed the contract.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
He wasn't true then, but.
Speaker 26 (16:03):
He's driving has made it true now.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
And look what he's done with the opportunity.
Speaker 26 (16:09):
The grandstance he saw built as a kids growing up
now rise for him. And for the first time in
ninety three years, this fabled.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Race is won by one of their own.
Speaker 26 (16:22):
Chao LaClair wins the Monaco Grand Prix.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
We want it finally.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
There's that quote about a the ironic tragedy is that
life has to be lived forward but only makes sense
and reverse.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, ironic tragedy. Who said that you can't quit?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Man?
Speaker 8 (16:47):
You got to stay with it.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Somebody having it way harder than you, and they didn't
give up.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
We all think about quitting.
Speaker 27 (16:54):
It's hard.
Speaker 19 (16:55):
There's gonna be days when you're aching and tired and sore,
and there's people in your family that are and you're
cynical and bitter and you need a reason to get off.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
The purpose is always there. The purpose never leaves us
because the very purpose is you. You are always the purpose.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I don't really care what you do. It doesn't matter
what you're doing. It's you that counts.
Speaker 22 (17:16):
And the more you understand you, the better your results
you're going to get.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You have to be crazy enough to think that it's possible.
Speaker 28 (17:23):
Sometimes you have to create a delusion, even if you
got to lie yourself into believing.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
That's how you do something worthwhile.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
You have to believe it's possible, complete delusion.
Speaker 18 (17:33):
You got to believe the delusion because it's only delusional
until it works.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Your mind is designed to help you.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Get what you want.
Speaker 14 (17:43):
You just have to be willing to believe it's possible.
Speaker 28 (17:47):
And when you believe something is possible, everything else will
figure itself out.
Speaker 14 (17:53):
Now we come to the final question, what is the
purpose of life? What is the purpose of your life?
Why are you here? Why do you exist at all?
Why do you get up in the morning, Why do
you have a life? Why are you on the earth?
Is it simply to be born, to grow up, to work,
to reproduce, to die or is there something else? In
my estimation, there is something else, something far more important.
(18:17):
In this session, I want to talk to you about
my discoveries and my thoughts about what the true purpose.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Of life is.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
The two purpose of.
Speaker 14 (18:23):
Life in my estimation, is to find a mission. Some
of the wisest men and women of this century and
of previous centuries have looked at this whole idea of
why a human being is put on this earth, and
they've come to the conclusion that we have put on
this earth to fulfill our potential by finding our true
mission in life. Amid Fox calls this your heart's desire.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
If you don't know where you want to go, who
you want to be, you eventually just float around.
Speaker 18 (18:51):
Then you eventually crash.
Speaker 28 (18:53):
Most people walk around with no goals, no ambition. They
don't know where they're going. It's like a ship with
no destination. If you don't know where you're going, you'll
never get there.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Ask yourself this.
Speaker 29 (19:02):
If I had a gun to your head and I said,
pick the one thing that you want to do in
life that would just make you absolutely happy, would give
you a sense of fulfillment and peace of mind. Never
mind it it's not going to make you money. The
thing that you would do if money was not an.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Issue, what is it?
Speaker 28 (19:17):
Once you know where you want to go, then you
direct your time, your energy, and your attention to the
execution and the achievement of that goal. It's all about intention.
But most people walk around in life thinking that life
is just a big.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Fat lottery and it's just not that case.
Speaker 28 (19:32):
Those that live by the lottery of life most likely
end up losing.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Now here's the next exercise.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Now I want you to answer this question, what kind
of person must I become to achieve all I want?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And I'll give you time to write that down.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Then what kind of person must I become to achieve
all I want? What you become helps you to achieve,
and what you achieve helped.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You to become.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And the more you become, the more you can achieve,
and the more you achieve, the more you can become.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Who knows which affects the other the most?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So now just write this exercise, start with a few
sentences your concept of the person you think you must
become to achieve what you want. Time for a little
truth here. Maybe you need to become much wiser than
you are at the moment. You need to become stronger,
you need to have better health. Maybe you need a
little coaching to really become the person I want to become.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I'm going to have to have some coaching.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Physical coaching, spiritual coaching, developing skills coaching to be the
influence you want to be.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
You got to build an incredible reputation.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
What kind of person must I be to attract all
that I want in my life and the people that
I want and the opportunities that I want.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Jimmy Cobb broke my brain with this one. Everyone is
jealous of what you've got, No one is jealous of
how you got it.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
The man says, I will climb the mountain.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's
too rocky, it's too difficult, it's never been done. But
it's my mountain. I will climb it pretty soon. You'll
see me waiting from the top. Or did it on
the side because I ain't coming back?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That is the definition promise yourself.
Speaker 27 (21:16):
You really did.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I asked the kids how long should a baby try
to learn how to walk?
Speaker 8 (21:25):
How long?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
How long would you give your average baby before you
shut them off?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
How long? See any of mines in the world would say,
you're crazy. My baby's going to keep trying until it learns.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
How to walk.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
What imagining for you?
Speaker 30 (21:41):
What if you did it? What if you actually did it?
How do you think you'd feel? I mean, just for
a minute, think about what your life would look like?
If you hit every goal that you have, if you
actually went out into everything you said you were going
to do, what would your life look like when you'll
get to the.
Speaker 13 (21:59):
Point where it hurt real bad, when you get to
the point you can't take it no more. When you
get to that point, you cannot quit doing the process.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
You cannot give up.
Speaker 31 (22:09):
But once you realize you're not gonna be around for
our life, I think that's what makes life so much
a gold. One day you'll eat your last meal, smell
your last flower, hug your friend for the very last time.
You might not notice the last time. So that's why you
should do everything you love with passion. You know, treasure
is a few years you've got because that's all there is.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Inside.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
We grow, We start from here.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
And it comes out.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
This workout is called victorial pride, chess work.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Out the private within.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
It's gonna give birth to.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
The strength and the capability of the fundamental structure that
we're gonna achieve this stuff. And from within, we're not
worried about the sun, the clouds, the fucking people in
the parking lots.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Worry about our mission.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
At hand, and we're gonna achieve that mission.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
I believe you are purpose. I believe you are purpose.
You're it for a purpose.
Speaker 32 (23:01):
Like we know the statistics, it's like a zero percent
chance of you being you.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
You are that.
Speaker 32 (23:06):
So when you operate from maryth it gives you that
confidence that I am that It's not something I've search for.
You can take your life wherever you want to take it.
What you're looking for is placement, right. It's like, so
for me, rehab time is not my purpose, it's my placement.
I can take Trent to down the street and go
impact lives because I am purpose right football. If my
(23:29):
mom is right back, then I could use that platform
to be who I am.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
So you can take your life anywhere.
Speaker 32 (23:35):
And I want people to know that because some people
think when you lose your dream or you lose something,
that it's over.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
But you didn't lose who you are.
Speaker 32 (23:41):
You lost that thing, that placement.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
What shall I do well for progress? You must decide.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
The best advice I can give you came from a
wealthy friend of mine who said.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
If it's easy, do it easy.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
If it's hard, do it are, just get it done.
If you went home tonight and in the next few
days cleaned up a whole list of decisions that might furnish.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Enough inspiration for the next ten years.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I found this out many times, after you've decided, getting
on with it is easier than deciding. Sometimes decision is
the tempest one. Here's the next emotion, desire wanting too
bad enough, And I don't know how to tell you
to want to.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
That's something you've got to come up with. There's two
things I know about desire. Number One, it comes from inside,
not outside. You don't send off for it.
Speaker 14 (24:43):
Your heart's desire is something that is placed deep down
inside you, maybe even before you're born, and it's something
that calls to you and sings to you and lures
you on throughout your life. And the reason that we
say that only one or two or five out of
one hundred people fulfill their potential in any given generations
is because most people ignore the callings of his heart's desire.
(25:05):
They push it aside, they ignore it, They pretend it
isn't there. They get involved in bills and families and
business and careers, and this tugs at them. Sometimes they
don't get into it until later on in life. That
every single person has the ability to establish for themselves
a mission.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
And on my list of things.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Now I put everything, little things as well as major things.
It doesn't matter how small it is, it goes on
my list. I used to just put major things, cars, homes.
I don't do that anymore. I now looked my list
with everything everything. See, we all grow from two experiences.
One is called the pain of losing. The other one
is called the joy of winning.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
My coach told me.
Speaker 33 (25:44):
Coach Smith told me, I'll never be nothing from that
day forward. I made a promise that I will give
it everything I got. I'm ready to die for what
I had to I had to succeed. I have to
give it everything I got. That way, I'm a winner,
no matter.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
What they say.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
The Gray's achievement of somebody comes right after their worst defeat.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
When they hit rock bottom, hit the bottom of the barrel.
They had nothing left. Everyone's giving up on them.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
They've lost all their worldly possessions, the dead broken on
their back. It's at that point, guys, when everything's lost,
that everything can be gained. There's no more ego there
is there they let go of you.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Know the you know what if I fail?
Speaker 9 (26:28):
What if it doesn't work, what if I don't like
where this person rejects me, the animosity, the pressures of society,
let it all go, because they've lost it all. They're
just now left with the intestinal fortitude.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
The pride within.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Do I want to stay on the bottomless barrel or
I climb the fuck out of his hole?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Check the size of your goals and the kinds of goals,
how big they are, what kind they are, affects you.
And here's one of the important phrases of the evening.
Your goals are affecting you whatever they are.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Your goals affect your attitude, personality.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Your goals affect the way you walk, the way you talk,
the way you dress. All day long. We're being affected
by our goals. Now, some people have goals, but they
have such lousy goal. I ask a guy one time,
what are your goals for this month? The guy said, look,
if I could just scrape up enough money to pay
(27:24):
these lousy bills, that was this goal. I'm not saying
it isn't the goal. It's a goal, but it's such
a lousy goal. The effect is bad.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
So what is it?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
We say?
Speaker 34 (27:36):
We're all trying to achieve in life, what are we pursuing?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Happiness is usually the word.
Speaker 34 (27:42):
I propose this forget happiness, how about go for joy.
Happiness is usually a destination, a place we think if
we get there, then I will be happy.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
But joy is different. It's not a destination. It's the
process of living, of.
Speaker 34 (27:58):
Finding joy and what we're fashioned to do, and when
we do it well, it's more joyful.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
If we don't do it well, we can find joy
and going.
Speaker 34 (28:06):
Well, I'm going to try it next time. Joy is
a process. Happiness is a destination. I think we'd all
be a lot cooler and better and truer people if
we found the joy in the process and didn't keep
trying to pursue the result of destination that we call happiness,
which is really unattainable.
Speaker 35 (28:24):
I think we look down now to sixteen year olds
and say where are you going to go to college?
What are you going to do for the rest of
your life? And it's like they're not fully baked yet.
How do they know? Give them a break, just say look,
I think after high school, take a year off, take
(28:45):
two years off, join the Peace Corps, travel, go figure
things out, or just enjoy yourself for the first time
in their lives. They're adults and they don't have to
be somewhere. They're not told to be somewhere. Get you
to that freedom, get used to having the need to
self govern yourself. You know, to be able to employ
(29:09):
self discipline.
Speaker 36 (29:10):
You just have to live. You just have to live.
You just have to act your age. If you're twenty six,
be twenty six. Stop trying to be fifty six. It's
not expected, and it's a burden that you don't have
to carry. You will not be the man that you
want to be until you grow into it.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You have to grow into it.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Probably what you lack is plenty of reasons. You've got
enough intelligence, but not enough reasons. Here's what else I
found out. Reasons come first, answers come second. You don't
get the answers to do well till you get the reasons.
Life has a mysterious way of hanging on to all
the answers and only gives them.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Up to the people that are in fired by reasons.
Speaker 37 (30:01):
When you concentrate and work intensely on an important task,
it gives you a feeling of energy and enthusiasm. When
you complete an important task, your self esteem goes up.
You feel like a winner, You feel great about yourself.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
If you have a list of.
Speaker 38 (30:13):
Tasks to do and you choose to do your most
important task and you complete it, you get a rush.
It's called an endorphin rush, and your brain releases endorphins
just flood your system and make you actually feel exhilarated.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
You almost laugh out loud.
Speaker 38 (30:29):
You're happy, your heartbreat goes up, you're smiling. Sometimes you
will stay or work late at night to complete a task,
and you get it done at two or three in
the morning, and you finish it, and even though you
should be exhausted, you're happy. You can't sleep, You walk
it around, you watch television. I mean, because you feel great.
Speaker 39 (30:47):
But if you work away on low priority tasks, even
if you complete them and do them well, you don't
get any excitement or thrill from doing something that's not important.
The very worst thing in the world is to do
very well with what need not be done at all.
Speaker 18 (31:01):
Because we're I'm meant to grow. If you ask people,
ask me what does it take to be happy? You
met millions of people as a taken, so many people unhappy.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Well.
Speaker 18 (31:08):
Relationships are one of the keys to that. But there
is one key even within relationship progress progress equals happiness.
If you go and achieve some huge goal. You know,
if you've ever done this and then chieve it, you
have one or two experiences. Either go is this all
there is after you achieved it, which is horrible feels
worse than failing, or you go, Wow, this is amazing
and you celebrate. But how long do you feel good
(31:28):
for after achieving some great goal? Five years, the year,
six months? Right?
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Why?
Speaker 18 (31:35):
Because we're not meant to just sit at the table
success and get fat, you sepport, We're meant to grow.
And when we grow, when we make progress, we few alive.
And what makes us feel most alive? Right when you're
a life and a mind too. Knowing you as a
person is when you grow you have something to give.
And what makes life meaningful is not just a happy
life is not always happening, But a meaningful life is
a life where you served something more than yourself, something
that einging the energy insite wil to be serving your
(31:57):
kids and family, or your business or something in your
communit hear something.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
In the wall.
Speaker 40 (32:01):
Your laziness is something that has to do with you.
You're not connected to something deep enough. You don't feel
the necessity you don't feel the devil at your heels.
You don't feel the fact that you could very well
die tomorrow. It will impel you to get something done.
There's no necessity behind it. And the healan animal that
we will created is when we feel pressure, we feel
(32:24):
the necessity to get things done, we can mountains. But
when there're pressure releases and we don't feel the need
to get something done, we could become incredibly lazy because
there's no necessity. So you have to create necessity in
your life. You have to create the need to get
things done.
Speaker 41 (32:44):
Unhappiness is when your expectations of how life is meant
to be going go unmad. And this explains why a
kid in Africa who gets rice, I was born in Africa.
I was born in Byflorida. Kid in Africa who gets
rice can be euphoric. But a billionaire and a Minchin
star restaurant in West London, his three Michelin star steak
(33:04):
comes without the sprinkle of dust or whatever shit they
put on it, he will be visibly pissed off and
complain because his expectations of the world and how life
should be going going there. So one of the ways
that you can make sure you're happy. It's not line beginnings.
It's just like having better expectations.
Speaker 42 (33:22):
But society becomes great when old men plant trees under
the shade of which they know they'll never sit.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
You gotta do something.
Speaker 42 (33:33):
There's gonna leave something for somebody else's enjoyment that you
know you won't even be there to enjoy.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
I know I won't be under that shade.
Speaker 42 (33:41):
I know I won't, but I planted them so my
grandkids will be.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Walking through their forms and need some big trees. That
tree fifty years old. Your granddad, Papa Hardt put through
trees there.
Speaker 27 (34:00):
How do I just keep getting up and going and
going and going. But I had a purpose before everybody
had an opinion. It's not about anybody else. It's not
about anybody else. It's just about going to do it
because that's what you want. That's what you said out there.
Speaker 18 (34:12):
To go do.
Speaker 27 (34:13):
So I've always been my biggest critic that you continue
to stay that way.
Speaker 43 (34:17):
Maybe your purpose in life isn't related to your job.
Maybe your job is your job, and the job is
the thing that supports you, and then the rest of
your waking hours are devoted to your purpose, whatever that is.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Yeah, and a lot of us are trying to make
it the same thing.
Speaker 43 (34:35):
Yeah, and it's beautiful when it happens, but it doesn't
always happen, and it's out of our control. Also, we
can decide. I would say, if you need to have
a job to support yourself, that's great, that's a noble
thing to do. And follow your dreams, but I'm not
saying they're one thing. They don't have to be one thing,
(34:58):
and don't let following your dream undermine your ability to
support yourself. It could do it could actually do the
opposite
