The first level to success in life,
listen to me, the very first level
is you seeing it.
Like it's clear to you.
You know exactly what you want,
you know exactly when you want it,
you know exactly what it tastes like,
you know what it looked like,
you know what it smells like.
Before you really blow-up blow-up
and you get success,
you literally have it
in the palm of your hand without having it.
You gotta know what it looks like,
tastes like,
feel like
because ì you don't you're gonna compromise
And your problem is
you're not intentional and deliberate.
You wake up on Monday and you might be strong,
but by Wednesday...
Are you hearing what I'm telling you?
You're not intentional and deliberate,
you are hoping
that the best is gonna happen to you,
and the best never happens to you.
You got to be intentional and deliberate.
Whether you're making money or not making money,
you gotta decide that you're gonna do something
and you gotta do it every Monday,
every Tuesday,
every Wednesday,
every Thursday.
The problem with some of you in this room,
you're not intentional and deliberate.
You're a good person
and just hope the good stuff is gonna happen to you.
It has everything to do with
what time you wake up.
It has everything to do with how you eat.
It has everything to do with
how you work out,
how you prepare.
It has every single thing to do with
how you think.
And when you want it as bad as you wanna breathe says,
I'm willing to make any sacrifice,
I'm willing to go through any pain,
I'm willing to go through any suffering,
I'm willing to go through whatever it takes,
So when I get in there,
and it's me and him, one one one,
that I guarantee you
at the end of it,
I won't be the one who surrender.
In order to have unbelievable choice
and options in your life,
in your pursuit of your dream
you must eliminate them.
You must shrink your focus down to one thing,
one business,
one focus at one time
and master it and get great at it
for an extended period of time.
The irony of life
is that the more you shrink your options
in pursuit of your dream,
the more it will open them up in your life later.
What are the things that are stealing your focus?
Who are the people that are stealing your focus?
And begin to eliminate these districtions.
Get laser focused
and obsessed on what you want.
Be starving and hungry to get it.
Be desperate to get it
the combination
of desperation and hunger
with laser focus
over an extended period of time
is the formula
to be great at something.
And you've got to be so relentless
regardless of what comes down the pike
that you're always looking for a ways
to get over
always looking for a ways
that you can break through
always looking for a way
that you can win
always looking for a way
that you can strike a telling blow.
But you gotta understand
you can always get a little bit better
you can always excel a little bit more
you can always push it a little further
you can always climb a little bit higher
you can always better your best
you can always go beyond
anything that you have ever done.
And so all you're looking for new breakthroughs
through practice and practice
you'll get better and better.
And when you know what you want
you will do anything it takes to get it.
A person who thinks all the time
has nothing to think about except thought.
So he loses touch with reality
and lives in a world of illusions.
We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
Time to wake up.
What is reality?
It isn't material.
That's just an idea.
Reality is this
whoever it is that you want to be
no matter how many times you may have failed at attempting
to become that person
leading up to this point,
you can still become that person.
You're going to decide who that is.
You're going to hold that ideal in your mind,
and you're going to force yourself
to act in accordance.
You are going to tell people what you're up to,
and if you really have some balls,
you're going to tell people that want you to fail
because that believe it or not,
that's who's going to come to your rescue
in your darkest hours of wanting to give up.
It's going to be remembering that out there
is someone who's laughing at you,
who wants you to fail.
That's talking behind your back
about how you're never going to achieve it.
And then imagine how rad it will be
when you actually do achieve it.
And so often intrigued with
can you be committed to the process of what you do
without being emotionally attached to the result
of what you do?
Because a lot of people can be committed to the process
of what they do
if the results don't change.
But the moment that result of the outcome changes
of what they're chasing, they shut it down and they quit
simply because the result changed.
So can we be committed to the process
of what we do,
but not emotionally to the result of what we do?
Understand it.
Everyday I get up and give everything I got
to everything on the board up
simply because this is who I am.
But the only thing I need every day of my life
is 86,400 seconds.
That's it.
I don't need some reward.
Like I don't need
the only thing I need is breath in my body.
And I'm flat out going get it
One of the things you have to understand about life is
everything changes and everything ends.
And that kind of sounds kind of be on the front end.
But it's a truth.
If everything changes and everything ends.
Number one,
it should make you appreciate what you have right now.
And then my view is what's next is always better.
if I make it so it's my job to make it so
I think passion is the genesis of genius.
If you got enough passion, you're going to find answers.
Nobody else does.
But most people run out of fuel,
meaning they get tired, they're exhausted,
they get burnt out,
they get...
you know, the warmth, familiarity.
They're around something so much,
they take it a little bit for granted.
What I see as the one common denominator of people
that are successful over a lifetime
is the sustained hunger.
Hunger is the number one factor
That in order to move forward,
you move forward by taking the next right step.
You don't have to know all the steps to make
Just what is the next right move.
I want to recommend that you take just
one hour a day, five days a week,
and devote this hour to exercising your mind.
Pick one hour a day on which you can fairly regularly count,
and during this hour every day,
take a completely blank sheet of paper.
At the top of the page,
write your present primary goal, clearly, simply.
Then, since our future depends upon the way in which
we handle our work, write down as many ideas as you can
for improving that which you now do.
Try to think of 20 possible ways in which the activity
that fills your day can be improved.
You won't always get 20, but even one idea is good.
Now remember two important points with regard to this.
One, this is not particularly easy, and two,
most of your ideas won't be any good.
Now when I say it's not easy,
I mean it's like starting any new habit.
At first you will find your mind a little reluctant
to be hauled up and out of the old familiar rut.
But as you think about your work and ways in which
it might be improved, write down every idea
that pops into your mind,
no matter how absurd it might seem.
Let me tell you what will happen.
Some of your ideas will be good and worth testing.
The most important thing this extra hour accomplishes,
however, is that it deeply embeds your goal
into your subconscious mind
and starts the whole vital machinery working.
And 20 ideas a day, if you can come up with that many,
total 100 a week, even if you don't think on weekends.
An hour a day, five days a week totals 260 hours a year,
and still leaves you 3,740 hours of free leisure time.
Now this means you'll be thinking about your goal
and ways of improving your performance,
increasing your service,
six and a half full extra working weeks a year.
Six and a half 40-hour weeks devoted to
thinking and planning.
Can you see how easy it is to rise above
the so-called competition?
And will still leave you with 15 hours a day
to spend as you please.
Starting each day thinking, you'll find that your mind
will continue to work all day long.
You'll find that at odd moments, when you least expect it,
really great ideas will begin to pop into your mind.
And when they do, write them down as soon as you can.
Just one great idea can completely revolutionize your work
and, as a result, your life.
