I'm gonna teach you this very quickly
A way of putting it onto your body
and we're gonna put it onto your body just for ease
So I'm gonna give you the key
to having an ageless mind.
Killing ants
automatic negative thoughts
how well are you controlling your self-talk?
On a scale of zero to ten
honestly, many of you have done this with me
How strong are you?
zero to ten
do your thoughts make a difference? Yes or yes?
If I say constantly "I'm getting too old."
Is that gonna be self-fulfilling?
Yes or Yes?
if I say "I'm forgetful, I have a bad memory"
if you fight for your limitations
you get to keep them
So your mind is always eave-dropping on your self-talk.
You're the number one function of your brain
is to control your movement
That's why we know there's not just a brain body connection
but a body brain connection
that using your body in different ways
stimulates neurogenesis, it stimulates neuroplasticity
It stimulates brain derived nootropic factors,
which is the fertilizer for making new connections
So you have to move
but we live in a very sedentary life, right?
I was reading this book
talking about bare foot kids
and how we're taking away seesaws and
swings and all these things
We're over protecting them
and then we're putting them in a very sterile environment
They're not moving as much
they're always on their devices
and they're not getting the brain growth
and it's leaning to learning challenges so on
but how much you're moving every single day?
They say sitting is the new smocking, right?
you do not want to sit eight hours a day
and just and just study
Why is it so hard
to do the little things
that would improve my life?
The way that our minds are designed
is our minds are designed to stop you
at all costs
from doing anything that might hurt you.
There are so many people in the world.
you maybe be watching this right now
and you have these incredible ideas.
And what you think is missing is motivation.
And that's not true
because the way that our minds are wired,
and the fact about human beings
is that we are not designed
to do things that are uncomfortable
or scary or difficult.
Our brains are designed to protect us
from those things
because our brains are trying to keep us alive.
And in order to change in order to build a business
in order to be the best parent,
the best spouse to do all those things
that you know you want to do
with your life, with your work, with your dreams,
you're going to have to do things.
That are difficult, uncertain or scary,
which sets up this problem for all of us.
None of us can afford to have a life that is
controlled by someone else
or a life that is basically controlled by our emotions.
I learned many years ago that
there are two kinds of people.
There's the type of person who says
"I'm going to wait to I feel like it before I do it."
And then there's a person who says
"I've got to do it so that I feel like it."
One will never get anything done
because they're still waiting to feel the moment to move.
And the other person says, no, I need to move.
And then I will begin to feel the moment.
Assigning yourself discipline is essential
in your life and in my life,
if we're going to get things done.
We might through the past,
but our past is not through with us.
How many of you know there
are things that we've experienced
that can impact the way we see ourselves.
And so, so as you look at yourself
and look at your goals,
I want you to write this down.
You don't get in life what you want,
you get in life what you are.
You have a create an achiever's mindset
and that you have to create that yourself,
be not conformed to this world,
be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
So if you want to free yourself
and you got to realize that we all suffer at times,
and if you want to end suffering,
you have to make the most important decision your life,
which says I'm going to live in a beautiful state
every day no matter what,
even when it doesn't go my way,
even when there's injustice,
even when people are unfair,
because people gonna be unjust and unfair in our lives
And are you going to be unjust and unfair
at times about meaning to be yes or no?
So if people have to behave a certain
way for us to be happy,
you're not gonna stay happy
For everybody
to be able to face who they are
I wouldn't have that kind of impact
where you can go on TV,
you can put your life on a billboard.
You're not ashamed of who the f you are.
You're not ashamed of what life made you,
what you helped life make you
stop judging yourself against other people
who have hidden it better than you.
And now they're flipping it back
on you and saying you're f**ked up.
I want you to realize that
this world life
is one big head game.
And once you learn to play the headgame
it's no longer game anymore at all.
You can start living your life.
being successful is so hard,
but I realized that not being successful was hard too.
The difference between not being successful hard
and trying to get successful hard,
if you're trying to get successful and it's hard,
at least there are some payout.
There's a payoff.
If you hang in there, there's payoff.
When you're not successful, it's hard.
It's hard not having money.
It's hard never knowing how to come up
with your mortgage, and your bond,
and your rent, and your let.
It's hard not knowing that.
How are you gonna feed your children?
How you gonna pay your bills?
It's hard, ain't it?
(audience mumbles in agreement)
So if it's hard that way,
and it's hard being successful,
I might as well deal with how hard it is
to be successful because at least one day
there could be a payout.
If you just stay in the hard part of life
of not being successful, ain't no pay off.
There's no result for being poor.
It's just more poor
You just poor some more.
There's no payout.
Just make the decision
that you're not gonna be poor anymore.
You have the right.
Don't matter how you were born.
