You've decided that you're not going to
allow your circumstances to define you.
You've decided that you're not going
to allow the events
the things, the people, life determine who you become.
This, these two lies we've been told growing up
the first lie is
you're nothing
you're stupid,
you're worthless.
you're not going to make it
And I'm sure many people listening to watching have heard that
from teachers, parents, aunts, uncles, whoever it is.
And then the other lie that we're actually told,
I don't think it's a lie.
I think it's positive.
But sometimes it's misconstrued is you can be anything
and we all know that's not true too.
And it's unfair because sometimes
people get misled and Dharma point of view is you can't be anything you want
But you can be everything you are.
And what I mean by that is you have
a genius, a potential, a power insideof you
that you don't know yet.
Why?
Because you're inexperienced.
It's not that you're unqualified.
It's you're inexperienced.
and people are saying "I'm stuck."
"I don't know where my life's going."
"I don't know why purpose is."
So you're perceiving yourself to
be unqualified or under-qualified
Actually. you just inexperienced.
You just haven't done enough thing
to let the magnet on your life tell you what it's attracted to.
A man is about responsibility.
And I think a man,
a true man
knows he's the head but plays, you know, the tale
Here's what I'm asking you to do.
Walk away from the 97%
Don't use their vocabulary.
Don't use their excuses.
Don't go where they go.
Don't do what they do.
Don't talk like they talk.
It's not what happens
that determines the major part of your future.
The key is what you do about it.
If you will start that process of change,
do something different the next 90 days
than you did the last 90 days.
Like picking up the books to read
since we cannot change the circumstances,
but we can change ourselves
What you have at the moment
you've attracted by the person you've become.
If you will change,
everything will change for you
To have more you simply have to become more.
Start working on yourself,
making these personal changes.
and it'll all change for you.
You could be given the best opportunity in the world,
and if you're not willing to work, nothing works.
You want to get your work ethic so high
that people actually admire you.
I'm going to ask you a question right now.
Do people know you because of your unbelievable work ethic?
If you can't answer yes to that, man,
you're not going to get in that top 10%.
People need to know you for one major thing
First,
"He works."
"The guys there every day,
"the guys pushing and shoving
because the truth is no matter how good your ideas are,
how good your art is.
If you're not working, man,
if you're not vibrating at a frequency that people said,
"My God, how does that guy do all that?"
If you're not vibrating at that rate,
tremendous work ethic,
that's just a muscle
Now, it's just a discipline in your life.
And it's a way,
look, if you're not working at that level,
you're not going to make it.
Get your work ethic in, man.
It's the American way
WORK ETHIC
And life gives us not what we want.
Life gives us who we are
When you were born you cried while the world rejoiced
Live your life in such a way that when you die
the world cries,
while you rejoice.
