MARIO: WE CANNOT WILL THAT TO HAPPEN.
JENNIFER: TALK ABOUT A GUY WHO CAN GIVE YOU SOME MOTIVATION.
. MARIO ARMSTRONG IS THE LEADER AND CONTRIBUTOR FOR THE TODAY SHOW AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE LEVEL OF PODCAST.
MARIO: PEOPLE WEATHER LIKE IT.
I THINK BECAUSE IT IS ONLY FIVE MINUTES, SO IT IS NOT A LONG COMMITMENT.
FIVE MINUTES OR LESS EVERY SINGLE DAY.
IT IS A PODCAST YOU CAN LISTEN TO ON YOUR OWN TIME.
FIVE MINUTES OF MOTIVATION AND PRACTICAL TIPS AND ADVICE THAT YOU CAN USE TO ENHANCE YO LIFE OR FILL YOUR PURPOSE.
JENNIFER: VERY LOOK -- VE RELATABLE AND TODAY YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MOTIVATION AND SELF-CONFIDENCE.
MARIO: MOTIVATION HOLDS PEOPLE BACK.
A LOT OF TIMES WE START TO BLAME OURSELVES THAT WE ARE NOT CONFIDENT BUT THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT COULD BE HAPPENING.
DRAMATIC EXPERIENCES, BEING HARASSED, FEELING EMBARRASSED, WE HAVE SELF-DOUBT AND INSECURITY.
OUR GENES COULD HAVE U TO A 20% IMPACT ON THE AMOUNT OF SEROTONIN IN OUR BODIES.
THAT AFFECTS HOW WE FEEL ABOUT OURSELVES.
I HAVE SOME TIPS TO BOOST THAT.
JENNIFER: WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
MARI RECOGNIZING WHAT YOUR STRENGTHS AND ACHIEVEMENTS ARE.
IN ONE COLUMN, WRITE DOWN ALL OF YOUR STRENGTHS AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, YOU WRITE DOWN ALL OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS.
MOST OF THE TIME YOU MIGHT NOT BE AS OBJECTIVE BECAUSE YOU ARE FEELING LOW CONFIDENCE.
HAVE A FRIEND OR PARTNER WITH YO THAT CAN SAY YOU ARE A GENUINE PERSON OR YOU HAVE A LOT OF INTEGRITY OR THAT IS AN ACHIEVEMENT.
NO ACHIEVEMENT IS TOO LARGE AND NO STRENGTH IS TOO SMALL.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS TAKE A REFLECTION OF YOURSELF.
NOW YOU ARE SELF-AWARE.
YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THINGS.
YOU ARE GOOD AT THIS STUFF.
THAT MAKES YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR CAPABILITIES REALLY ARE.
JENNIFER: HOW WE TALK TO OURSELVES PLAYS A ROLE.
MARIO: THAT IS POINT NUMBER TWO.
I LIKE TO REPLACE THE WORD FAILED WITH LEARNED.
ANYTIME YOU SAY FAIL, YOU SAY LEARN.
JENNIFER BECAUSE FAILING IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
MARIO: YOU NEVER LOSE WHEN YOU TRY.
YOU WILL ALWAYS WIN OR LEARN.
YOU ONLY LOSE WHEN YOU DON’T TRY.
THE WHOLE POINT I INSTEAD OF SAYING I FAILED IN THAT RELATIONSHIP, SAY I LEARNED IN THAT RELATIONSHI JENNIFER: AND THERE IS THAT PHRASE FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE
IT.
MARIO: THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.
DRESS FOR THE ROLE YOU WANT IS A GOOD THING BUT IT SHOULD NOT STOP THERE.
ACT AS IF.
YOU WANT TO LEARN WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN, READ WHAT YOU NEED TO READ AND STUDY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A GOAL OR A MISSION, THAT IS WHEN YOU ACT AS IF.
YOU TRY TO UNDERSTAND HOW DID THEY GET THERE?
WHAT ARE THEY READING?
HOW DO THEY WALK OR TAL A QUICK EXAMPLE OF THIS FROM THE SUNDANCE FESTIVAL.
CHARLES KING IS A MOGUL THAT STARTED IN THE MAILROOM.
HE WENT TO VANDERBILT, STARTED IN THE MAILROOM AT SOME BIG TALENT AGENCY.
HE LEFT ON HIS OWN A COUPLE YEARS AGO WITH THE VISION TO CREATE FILMS THAT WOULD BE DIVERSE.
HE CAME OUT WITH FENCES, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.
ACTS -- IT IS PROVED THAT IF YOU DO AND STUDY AND TEACH AND LEARN, YOU CAN ATTRACT THAT TO YOU.
JENNIFER: NO SUBSTITUTE FOR HARD WORK TELL ME ABOUT GETTING NEGATIVE PEOPLE -- GETTING RID OF NEGATIVE PEOPLE.
MARIO: YOU CAN SPOT DREA KILLERS IN YOUR FAMILY AND OUTSIDE.
ASK THEM DO YOU LOVE ME AND THEY WILL SAY YES AND TELL THEM I DON’T NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM DOING, I NEED YOU TO SUPPORT WHAT I’M DOING.
YOU CANNOT JUST RUN FROM FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE MAKING YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT AN IDEA.
LET THEM KNOW THAT WHAT THEY SAY HURTS AND THEY WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.
