When no one's around,
and it's just you and your shadow,
and what are you gonna do man?
When everything says quit
what keeps you going?
Life is going to test that will.
Every time.
Life is going to see how bad you want what you say you want.
And it's how we deal with these things in life
that we find out who we are.
Every time you hit a low place
don't those voices come
back up again?
Every time things go wrong
don't those voices come back?
You start saying to yourself
I'm a mess-up, I'm a failure
I'd be better off not being here
we just keep feeding ourselves
this toxic thinking.
You have never changed
your belief.
And you will never
completely
be healed
or whole
until you change
the voice
inside of your own
head.
No more
bowing down to whatever
unhealthy or unproductive thoughts flow
through my mind.
No more, no more
waiting for the perfect moment
and no more indecision
and your more lies.
No more weakness.
No,
no more.
Now is the time for strength
and through strength.
And if you will
and through on unwavering discipline,
I will become what I want to be.
I will become who I want to be.
And then
and only then
will I rest and say
no more.
You should f*cking quit.
You should quit f*cking quitting.
Any path you take
to get where you want to be
if that place is worthwhile to go
is gonna be f*cking hard.
So quit judging your quitting
based upon
how hard something is.
Because every single path that you could possibly take
to get somewhere where you want to be
is going to be hard.
struggle
pain
misery
frustration
those are signs
that you are on the right path
and making progress.
Nobody that is where you want to be
has gotten there
without these struggles
without bleeding
without the pain
without the depression
without the misery.
Nobody.
And if you want to be something great
you are going to have to learn
to accept
the struggle
as part of the recipe.
Every single day
you need to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself
what am I willing to do
to get what I want?
There's nothing as powerful
as the human spirit.
You can't destroy it.
You can pervert it,
but you can't destroy it.
If you lose the job,
keep the faith.
If you lose the spouse,
keep the faith.
If you have to downsize,
keep the faith.
If you have to move in with your mama,
keep the faith.
If you're at your wits end,
keep the faith.
If you have to catch the bus,
keep the faith.
If you have to thumb,
keep the faith.
If you get sick,
keep the faith.
If you lose your kidneys,
keep the faith.
If you got heart trouble,
keep the faith.
You might not get a new heart,
but you gotta keep your faith.
If you can't fly,
run.
If you can't run,
walk.
If you can't walk,
crawl.
But by all means,
keep moving.
99% of people
are not willing
to do what it takes to make their dreams come true.
The center of bringing any dream into fruition
is self-discipline.
You know, something as simple as food and eating
it's not about your body
as much as it is about your mind.
It's getting command of your mind
to be able to choose actions that are in your own best interest.
And I think the word discipline
has kind of gotten a bad name
We think about it in terms of punishment.
I'm not talking about Discipline in that way
I'm talking about discipline in the sense
that you- you forego immediate pleasure
for the exchange of long term self-respect.
You cannot win the war against the world
if you can't win the war against your own mind.
I don't believe in the word for procrastination,
like I don't really believe in that word.
I told the young lady in Australia who told me she's a procrastinator,
I said look if I told you to meet me here tomorrow at 5:00 a.m.
and I'ma give you $3,000,000,
where would you be? She said, I'd be right there at 4:59
ready to get that three million dollars.
I said so there's no such thing as procrastination.
What it is, is it's not important to you,
right. It's not it's not meaning for you, to you.
It's not, it's not something that's urgent to you
and when something is not urgent you put it off.
So yep you're in school, yes
you probably are getting grades, etc but if it's not meaningful to you,
if it's not important to you then you're not going to make it a priority.
So what you have to do is find out how can you make it meaningful?
How can you make it purposeful?
How can how can you make it stick
and when you can find that out I promise you
you will get up early, you'll get there first
and you'll do whatever it takes to make that goal a reality.
So for me, no such thing as procrastination,
it's such thing as it's not a priority to you.
There's no other way around it.
If success is the result that you are ultimately seeking,
you must be obsessed with the process.
You have no time to let fear, doubt, failure, quit, negative thoughts
or give up enter into your mentor.
So you have massive potential.
So from the moment you open your eyes in the morning
your mindset has to be win.
Find time to better yourself.
Read
explore, research,
live life do things you've never thought of doing before.
That's what it's all about.
When you're born
that's that date that they put on the left side of the tombstone.
When you die
they put another date on the right side of the tombstone
but that dash in the middle
is the most important thing on that tombstone.
That is a line that
throughout that entire time frame
you were able to impact and touch others lives.
You were able to leave your mark on this earth.
You were able to build a legacy
that nobody could change.
You were able to have it to where people remember
who you are no matter what.
When you're living for that dash in the middle
you're going to remember your why.
Your why, why you're here not,
not the why, why did you do something,
your why. Your, your reason for getting up in the morning.
Your reason for pushing yourself
past the brink of exertion and giving up.
Your reason for moving on and getting things done in life.
That dash in the middle
that's the thing that pushes you.
Trying to get them to focus upon positive things.
And we sort of laid out a list of positive things that she might think about.
And she said, oh, Abraham, I don't want those.
I've already got those.
And what she really meant was.
The things that I want are the things that have not yet happened.
And we want to help you to realize that if you're thinking about things
that you want from the standpoint that they have not yet come to fruition,
that they are still missing in your experience, then you're holding it in.
Suspended position where the distance between where you are
and where it is, is not closing.
So what we are wanting you to realize is you have these patterns of thought
and law of attraction is helping you to sustain the pattern of thought that
you have a belief is just a thought.
You keep thinking and.
Early on in your experience by your exposure to life,
you began developing some patterns of thoughts.
Sometimes they were carefully taught to you by others.
Sometimes it came because of something that you observed and then talked about
and then remembered, and then attracted again and then talked about it and then
remembered, and then attracted again.
In other words, life is very interesting here.
Because you can't talk about anything for very long before it begins to
replicate itself in your life experience.
And it's what makes you develop your patterns of what you call truths
You say
at first I wasn't sure.
And then I pondered it for a while and once I gave it my attention.
I began seeing evidence of it everywhere.
And now I believe it.
And now that I believe it it's manifesting in my experience
and we say that's really wonderful.
Isn't it If it's stuff you want
but if you are repeating patterns of thought about things you do not want
and in your environment, oh, you are very, very good at that.
You have this
Sort of mass consciousness theory that goes like this.
If we don't beat the drum of our history, we are sure to repeat it again.
And we say the contrary is true
The more you beat the drum of anything, the more you activated in your vibration,
the more it is activated in your vibration.
Then the more law of attraction is matching you up with things like it.
And the more law of attraction is matching you up within like it,
the more you observe it and the more you observe it,
the more you talk about it,
the more you talk about it and observe it,
the more you beat the drum of
it or offer the vibration of it, the more you offer the vibration of it, the more
law of attraction matches you up with it.
The more law of attraction matches you up with it.
The more you are living it, the more you're talking about it, the more you're
beating the drum of it, the more you're offering the vibration of it, this gathering
we're calling it, the art of allowing.
But what it really means is the art of telling a different story,
the art of telling the story.
The way life has helped you carve it out incrementally, but telling the story
with your words, with your observations, with your expectations, with your
vibration, then when law of attraction is responding to your deliberate offering
of thought, now you're getting what you want, not just what you're observing.
Are there things in your life that are as you want them to be?
keep telling that story
Are there things in your life that are not as you want it to be?
Don't tell that story.
You cannot choose something that feels better until you are
aware of what you are choosing.
So relief is the order of business.
What do you want to talk about?
