special edition of this podcast, specialthat we are broadcasting completely live from my
Facebook and on digital platforms. Soonthey will have this content all over the
world, as I am followed byquite a few people from different countries.
(00:23):
I say hello to everyone here.I also a very special greeting to my
friend Catalynprico p greetings friend, apleasure to greet you and receive your comments.
We always move on. And well, friends, as this special edition
remember I am your friend Oliver Ruizsharing experiences of the heart, speaking to
your heart express yourself without fear.We began with the long- awaited theme
(00:46):
I had shared with all of youand this theme is called defending your convictions.
The importance of defending your convictions.Why this issue is so important.
In n n os we forget,then, how important it is to have
a conviction. But we must beginto understand and analyze what a conviction is.
(01:10):
A conviction can be an argument,it can be something that you,
because you have to be unmovable orwhoever it is. Whoever wants to convince
you of something is to be convincedand defend a position, a position,
a character, a subject, somethingthat no one can break so easily.
(01:33):
However, if one has no convictionin life, any dream or passion,
goal, goal, longing purpose isdestroyed. And this is very sad,
because sometimes there are people who getcarried away by any comment. And when
(01:53):
that comment comes from a hierarchy,a loved one, or someone who is
important, their point of view,their comments, that may completely break your
dreams if you sometimes heed those comments. But for that you have to make
yourself aware and be able to understandif the person who will give you an
(02:16):
opinion, a point of view,has the experience. Watch this is very
important, no offense to anyone muchless. But sometimes we hear comments from
people who do not have the preparation, the experience, the trajectory, the
professionalism or who have succeeded in somearea of their lives and sometimes also the
(02:39):
reverse, applying it negatively, whensomeone with a lot of experience, of
great importance and a lot of trajectory. Maybe he' ll tell you a
comment He' ll tear your convictionsapart because of all that experience he has.
Then one has to be very critical, very analytical, very thoughtful and
(03:00):
be able to understand what comments.If I take into account and I would
tell you from my heart everything thatmakes you grow, you, build,
you, help, motivate you tobe for your good invest him. I
' ve got a sentence out therethat' s the more prepared you'
re going to have, and thisis very important. Today, many people
(03:22):
don' t bet on training,values, or the things that really help
you. They bet a lot onthings that hurt your body, that hurt
your health in the short term,that distract you from ending your economy,
that these kinds of situations cause otherkinds of circumstances that go in chains.
(03:42):
So here the important thing is tofirst think about why something is important to
you what is the value you giveit and I' m going to read
your comments from the people who areseeing me. If you' d like
to make a contribution, I'd like to say hello to my friend
Charlie Castellanos. He has something veryfather to Aula Móvil. Soon we'
ll recognize his work, his effortand he' s someone I appreciate.
(04:05):
Thank you, friend, for seeingus greetings wherever you are and I'
m going is on the lookout foryour comments, in case you also want
to share something right now, Igladly share it, as it' s
being recorded for digital platforms, forpodcasts and so on. Then, returning
to the subject, let' sgo in order to make very punctual with
(04:28):
what I mean, convey and speakfrom the heart to their lives, hoping
to motivate them and help them orshare a point of view. A conviction
is an argument, it' sa foundation, it' s a solid
thing, it' s something thatyou have the security, the certainty,
the backing. It' s somethingthat defines you, it' s something
(04:48):
that identifies you, it' syour essence, it' s something that
no one can move. A convictionis the certainty, security, of a
faith, of a belief, ofa foundation, then a conviction is something
that you are convinced of. Justas practical as that. I' m
giving you different kinds of synonyms forwhat' s a conviction. If it
(05:12):
is something that has to be unmovable, that has to defend to the last
sense, it still goes against whatmany may want. Wishing or having why
they are important in a conviction,because it is you are your dreams,
it is your talents, it isyour abilities, it is your concerns,
it is your experiences, it isyour purposes, desires, odjectives, passions,
(05:35):
longing goals. All that goes handin hand with your convictions. And
if your conviction destroys it, theytear it apart with a negative comment.
Then the purpose is over, thegoal is over, the dream, the
struggle, the effort is over.Then you must be in any area of
your life, convinced and passionate aboutyour conviction. But you should also open
(05:59):
up a little bit to comments thatare positive, that will help you grow
back to this topic, because thisis what will define that things sometimes happen.
Sometimes there are people who may nothave the opportunity that you are having
and out of jealousy, out ofenvy, out of courage, out of
seeing that you have the ability,that you are at that decisive moment,
(06:24):
to be able to achieve that successthat you have so much thought of and
sometimes people out of envy, outof jealousy, out of courage, out
of annoyance, because there are peoplewho don' t like to see others
doing well. And this thing Iwant to say to you is very important
and I want to leave it asa footprint on your heart. You can
succeed where others have failed. Youcan do well where others have not tried,
(06:47):
and not because others have had abad experience. It means you'
re going to get exactly the samething. If you don' t dare,
if you don' t try,if you don' t, if
you don' t fight, you' ll never know if you could have
(07:08):
made it and if comments influenced yourdecision, and then the result is going
to be what you want, whichis at stake. You always have to
think about what' s worst,what' s best, what' s
the consequence of what helps me,and on seeing those bases, you'
re going to define your conviction.Your conviction is your belief, it'
s your thinking, it' syour feeling it' s you and these
(07:33):
convictions are sometimes very easy to breakin life. And more when situations are
presented and at times we are perhapsnot prepared until the experience develops, it
is when we already know what todo, what not to do or how
to do it. But the mostimportant thing is to believe your heart.
If your decision does not affect thirdparties, if your decision is accompanied by
(07:57):
security of peace, love, valuesin you. Then you can be prepared
for great successes and great results.But if your conviction is not positive,
it is negative, because the resultis going to be negative. That is
why we need to make ourselves awareand reflect. If you' re going
to listen to a positive comment andI constantly repeat that it' s someone
(08:20):
who really has the experience to giveyou that advice that' s successful in
what you' re about to undertake. If you are going to make a
decision linked to a conviction that youwant to do or try something, ask
those who have had the experience andhave achieved success and can give you some
tips, but also from failure youcan learn to have better convictions. Watch
(08:43):
what I' m going to tellyou, you' re never gonna lose
even if you lose. You winyes maybe you' ll say I'
m crazy, that I' mwrong. But if you focus it on
the area of your life and theway I want to express it to you
by losing, you get lost,too. What you must lose. It
' s the negative, it's what makes you lose. That'
(09:05):
s what needs to be analyzed,that makes you win, that I know
how to lose you. That's another topic I have out there that
' s called I win loss,a conference that I' m also happy
to share with you later now thatI' m already on digital platforms,
but today we' re talking aboutthe importance of defending your convictions. If
you get carried away by a convictionof other people in your life, you
(09:28):
might be giving up success. Ifyou get carried away by that kind of
comment of not trying when you commenton something you want to do, that
you talk to someone maybe and giveyou their views and maybe you' re
right, maybe not. But ifyou don' t try, you won
' t know, what I mightbe able to accomplish and you' re
(09:52):
missing the chance to achieve that success. The glory or blessing at the time
of your life in which you meettoday, you have to defend your convictions,
your ideals, your thoughts, yourfeelings. It is a way to
be strong also in the circumstances oflife. But you have to think if
(10:13):
your convictions are really settled in whatis worth and are positive for yourself too,
because there is also the negative ofthis. My intention is to make
you think and become aware, notcontradict me, but depending on the point
of your life that you find yourself, is where you will focus, but
(10:35):
you must also learn not to letyourself be carried away by what others say
and give you the opportunity to haveyour own experience. So here the important
thing is when you find yourself,what your happiness is, what you want,
what it is that worries you today, in what areas of your life
(10:56):
you have missed or become more consciousand defend your convictions, in what experiences
of your life. Maybe you haven' t made the right decision because you
don' t have that conviction.The important thing is not to be blaming
you, judging you, making youfeel bad. The past is over.
(11:20):
It is a new year with whichyou can, from what you have learned,
be able to have better convictions,strengthen yourself in your weakness and learn
to see the positive of the negativeand what you might think. You learned
from a negative experience by not defendingyour convictions, being able to defend them,
(11:41):
and being able to achieve that successthat you are both yearning for and
waiting for. Why do you haveto defend your convictions, because if you
don' t defend them, thenwhat are you? If any comment,
anyone is going to tell you anythingand you' re going to get carried
away with it, because they're going to convince you of their ideas.
(12:05):
You have to have your identity,your own arguments, determine, have
your style, your essence, yourthought, your way of being. Which
makes you different from the others.You have to have those convictions, because
because it' s you and ifyou' re not living for yourself and
for yourself, without being selfish,then where your happiness is, where your
(12:28):
dreams are, where your desires are, where your desire to live is.
All that is important and I wantto convey many things to you, but
I want to be very punctual withconvictions. I want to be very punctual
about the importance of defending why youdefend it, because if you don'
(12:52):
t lose it, if you don' t defend what you love, what
you want, what you love,what you need, what you want to
achieve, nothing will happen. That' s why it' s so important
to raise awareness and analyze where yourbeliefs are, where your values are,
where your fundamentals are that will leadyou to success in any area of your
(13:13):
life, be it sentimental, work, professional, sentimental, educational, professional,
wherever you go. You have tohave convictions, you have to have
beliefs, foundations, fundamentals, arguments, things that strengthen you, not that
destroy you, and you have toinvest him and grow him in all those
(13:37):
areas in order to face any circumstanceof life. A person who has no
convictions is as if it were aleaf that takes it away from the air
or as if it were a shipwithout a drifting rudder, without knowing where
it goes, without knowing what todo. And obviously, it takes work
sometimes to mature and grow, becausewhen we are separated prisoners, we are
(14:01):
beaten by circumstances and situations, butI assure you that many of those blows
have been perhaps for not having defendedyour convictions. Your convictions are denied to
your thoughts, your emotions, yourattitudes and your reactions. There are people
who can become violent by defending aconviction. Sometimes they are people who become
(14:26):
deaf, who become foolish, whobecome entangled by the experiences they have had
and who sometimes think they are rightand sometimes they may define that reason because
it worked for them. But onething is the others and another thing is
you and you are a person whohas the right to be happy, to
(14:50):
try, how many times I wantto do it, to get up,
how many times I have fallen andno matter what people have said, the
mistakes you have had or the circumstancesyou have experienced Today you have the opportunity
to be happy and live without fearand to express yourself without fear. What
(15:11):
I want today is to make youaware, to awaken in you what your
convictions are and why you must defendthem. If you want and are convinced
to do something, do it,but do as you realize that you can
succeed or maybe not, or thatit may not be the first result you
want and you have to keep tryingseveral times to achieve it. There are
(15:37):
many historical examples that I can putin and talk to you and share.
Tomás Alba Edison, who created thebulb more than 3, 000 attempts to
try to create an invention something thatdid not exist and many told him that
he was crazy And many, eitherfirst or second or perhaps third, give
up their convictions. They make themdust and in and in tonces so now
(16:00):
they live in the would have fornot having defended their conviction. Maybe you
' re about to succeed, maybeyou' re just one decision away,
but what you need is to armyourself with courage, conviction, strength,
character, intent, perseverance, responsibilityand to keep fighting day by day until
(16:22):
you get there. And maybe yourenvironment doesn' t help you, maybe
you don' t hear a positiveword, maybe there' s no one
to motivate you and tell you.Chale wants to try or they question everything
and the more they see you trying, the more they want to tear you
apart. But you have to giveup all that for defending your convictions,
(16:44):
you have to create a shield ofdefense. Sometimes I personally, in different
areas of my life, have struggledwith different circumstances, some to defend my
convictions and maybe you can find yourselfalone for having defended that conviction. But
it' s better to be alone, because no one harms you, no
(17:07):
one bothers you, no one tellsyou what to do or not to do.
I mean, it' s youand you have to take the risk,
because it' s part of maturityin life. We are to share,
to help, to learn. Andit' s a momentary passage that
we don' t know how longwe' re gonna be here. But
one thing I' m convinced aboutis that you positively have to defend your
(17:30):
convictions, because that' s yourarm. That' s the strength that
' s going to lead you toachieve your dreams no matter what others say.
Who' s the chance to doit. You have to realize that
you are a special person, whohas gifts, talents, creativity, qualities,
abilities, thoughts, an essence anda way of being, a difference,
that wherever it comes, has somethingto contribute, that has experiences and
(17:53):
knowledge that are necessary for the developmentof others, that has something to give
to dens and maybe you haven't discovered it. But we all have
something that makes us unique and thata social contribution, a contribution to humanity,
but perhaps you have not believed.That' s why I' m
(18:15):
talking about this because of the importanceof believing. There has to be a
change of thought from negative to positive. There has to be a detachment from
things, from comments, from badexperiences, from the past of your environment.
There must be a barrier that separateswhat has happened and what has not
been. And now there has tobe a new outline of what you want,
(18:38):
what it is and where you're going and put that route forward.
And there has to be a decisionmaking once you have that awareness and
that awakening of wanting to go forward. No one can judge you, even
if you' ve made the mistakesyou' ve made, even if you
' re wrong. People will alwaysspeak right and wrong, they will always
(18:59):
say and your ideas to creativity,they will put buts and they will question
and there will be false friends andthere will be deceptive situations and there will
be many challenges and circumstances in lifestill unexpected, because we do not know
everything. But life is learning andas long as the heart is beating and
you have the opportunity to be alive, you have the opportunity to be happy
(19:23):
defending your convictions, you will achievesuccess. I' m your friend Oliver
Ruiz. I hope you like this. It' s a podcast that has
the title of defending your convictions.How I defend convictions. OK, to
defend your conviction you have to havean argument, you have to have a
thought, an idea, a purpose, a dream, a goal and you
(19:45):
have to analyze and understand this thatnobody is going to tell you. You
must be prepared for what they willtell you of your decision and your conviction,
a step forward always a step forward. What' s going on and
this before you do it, beconscious and think if I do this,
what' s going to happen.If I say this, what' s
(20:07):
going to be the answer if Igo this way, where I' m
going to go and what can comenegative in the face of the decision you
' re making. So, ifwe' re going to put examples,
a little bit more real, ifthey' re an example, it doesn
' t go through my mind,maybe making the decision to live alone after
(20:30):
living with your family or looking fora job or maybe trivial examples that you
have an idea, that you're seeing, that you need a need
in an environment and you' regoing to give your point of view so
that it can grow better or helpsomeone. It' s an example.
These are all examples of decisions.They' re gonna tell you or they
(20:53):
' re not gonna do it andthat' s what it' s for,
and that' s what we're gonna do And that' s
not what you' re gonna doIt doesn' t have to be.
Don' t waste your time.That' s not for you. That
doesn' t work, that's not needed. That' s not
good. You' ve heard thosecomments once. They told you. Someone
has made you feel bad, someonehas rejected an idea of you, someone
(21:17):
has criticized you, someone has setyour foot for you to fail the attempt
and ridicule you in front of agroup of people at work. You put
forward a proposal and then someone comesand tells you that that doesn' t
work. Because I did it isthat the brand, the company is looking
for other things. Someone else wasgiven the chance. Why? Why?
(21:45):
Why does that happen or why?There are negative people that you have an
idea, an approach, a project, because you have already uploaded it,
because it has already worked for you, because you have achieved success. Everyone
who has had a positive result,has a strategy, has a formula.
He had an experience and before heachieved that success he had failures, you
(22:10):
defeats, he had bad experiences.Sometimes you go through different tests, that
is to say you have different resultswhen faced with different attempts. But the
fundamental basis of success in different areasis not to give up and it is
(22:30):
to hold on. And holding ongoes hand in hand with defending. Your
conviction. If someone Henry Ford howmany companies he broke down before he made
Ford Company, and I can givehim names of big business owners who had
(22:52):
big failures before big results. Andthe greater your result, the greater the
responsibility, the effort, and theconviction. And just trying out there I
put on my facebook a Messi post. Even though I' m Mexican,
I know how to value and recognizethe talent of others. I' m
going to pay tribute to Messi,from a video I found on the Internet,
(23:18):
which I put on my Facebook.It made me think a lot of
things. There I found answers,but the points you need to defend your
conviction are constancy faith, determination,responsibility, commitment, effort, values and
(23:40):
not abandon your dreams for any negativecomments that someone has made to you.
That' s important not to getcarried away. Sometimes people need like the
approval of others before a decision andmaybe that happens to us because you want
to know a point of view.But sometimes there are people who are far
(24:02):
from giving you joy and who encourageyou and give you advice and who congratulate
you beforehand a pat, a hugor a father or a congratulations. It
' s hard to find that,and when you have it, thank him,
because few are the people who speakto you with their heart and who
love your well- being. AndI' m telling you with experience.
(24:26):
Many times I have talked about dreamideas and I have realized that they don
' t believe in you that theyquestion you and you see even the trait,
that is, they even offend,because you tell them something you want
to do, something that you cameup with people who don' t like
(24:47):
your way of being, because maybe. You are a passionate, creative person
who goes one step forward, whois innovating and because others didn' t
think of it. But I thinkwe all have the opportunity and that'
s where very important issues, suchas time management, such as setting your
goals, come in. Why someonecan do so many things and you can
(25:11):
' t, or why some peopleare nothing more and what you think analyzing
after talking about that topic. It' s called conformism, it' s
called stagnation, it' s calledapathy, it' s gaining comfort,
it' s called no more,it doesn' t want to do it,
(25:36):
because it adapts to what' salready happening to you and you don
' t try it anymore. It' s called fear, laziness, apathy,
laziness, victim, thinking you're not old anymore or you don
' t have the time anymore.If in some things I mean, not
the same as I already wanted tofly a plane, because already the time
that had to have been of preparationto carry out that task, that race,
(25:57):
because I had to have done aprocess where perhaps it will no longer
be able to be. But thatalso does not prevent you from realizing yourself
through the dreams of others. Andwhat is always the most valuable thing is
experience and time. That' sa very valuable thing that when someone gives
it to you, you have tovalue it. When someone gives you that
(26:18):
advice you do need then to beable to achieve your dreams, your goals,
your goals. That which you longfor, that which you want,
you have to defend your convictions,you have to put a barrier and what
it is telling you a moment ago, if I don' t forget is
to think about what is negative thatwill happen, what it can do,
(26:41):
because that way you analyze risks tomake good decisions. You' re already
aware of what can come. So, if I want to undertake or make
or decide or dedicate myself to this, who are the first ones, for
those who tell them are where youwill receive the first blows, aggressions,
(27:02):
negativism or positive things. People aroundyou do, but maybe because you'
re going to try something different thanothers, they don' t understand you,
they don' t understand you becausethey don' t have the experience
and they did know about someone whofailed and it went wrong in something you
' re about to try, becauseyou think, because they won' t
tell you something positive, they won' t help you. They won'
(27:25):
t encourage you not to expect anythingfrom others. Positive comments, flattery,
applause, trophies, recognitions come aftera lot of effort and sometimes without you
looking for them. They come inaddition to a great struggle, a great
responsibility, an effort on the outsideand a conviction that they will not be
(27:52):
led by anything negative and, despitethe failure and the bad result, continue
to insist. Have phrases out therethat is persisting, resisting and insisting.
That' s a formula, it' s a key, but you have
to create that wall that doesn't allow anything to destroy your convictions,
(28:15):
your dreams. Unfortunately, you mayhave to face the one you' re
going to have to defend that untilyou do and despite what they say and
even if they get angry, theycriticize you, curse you even or close
your doors. You' re goingto have to hang on to that conviction,
(28:36):
but I assure you, once youdo, you' re going to
cover the mouths of all those whodidn' t believe in you. You
' re going to arouse jealousy andthen selfishness because you did it, because
you did it, because you could. But if those comments have a barrier
(28:59):
you don' t care what otherssay. As long as you are happy,
as long as you are well,as long as YOU are well,
as long as you have peace inyour heart and you may have shown that
you did. But you know beyondwanting to prove it to someone. Convince
yourself, you work on yourself strengthenyourself, you may exercise every day.
(29:25):
But if you emotionally have no convictions, there has to be an emotional complement,
there has to be a congruence.What you say, do, think,
believe, want and do. Andthat' s the result. Friends,
I hope this subject helped you alittle bit, that I didn'
(29:45):
t bore you. And it's a little bit of this podcast called
the end of your convictions. Ifyou don' t defend your convictions,
you' re going to get carriedaway and your dreams go away and you
' re not going to achieve theresults, but you' re going to
(30:06):
defend what you believe, what youwant, what you are and what you
' ve proposed will be destroyed withouthaving tried. If you get carried away
by any comment before you' vetaken the step and just talked about it
and that was enough to discourage,then you have no convictions, you'
re a person who may be emotionallyweak, maybe it costs him work,
(30:27):
who doesn' t believe in itself, who doesn' t get passionate,
who doesn' t fight, whodoesn' t defend, who doesn'
t believe without will, without attitude. That is why you have to change
all that and strengthen it with faith, with strength, with determination, with
wisdom, with experience, with heart, with love, with loyalty, with
(30:48):
fidelity, with strength, defend yourconvictions and you will be surprised perhaps people
will turn away. Maybe they canclose some doors, but it' s
not the only thing. And lifeas your heart beats is a box of
surprises every day and opportunities. Everymorning, as your eyes open, you
(31:10):
can walk, have health and bewell. What yesterday was tomorrow may be
better than it was yesterday and notfor something bad. Everything is going to
be bad, but you have tolearn to pull aside, clean up and
concentrate on what you want to dowith your convictions friends, because reminding them
(31:34):
