When you wake up in the morning,
you have two choices.
You can go back to sleep,
or you can wake up,
and chase your dreams.
I have a quote
around this, and this is what I posted on my Facebook
page. And this is such
a fantastic quote that
I used it for quite a while
as my phone,
lock screen. I have a different one right now
and we'll talk about this,
but see,
when you wake up in the morning,
you have two choices: go back to sleep
or wake up
and chase your dreams.
And what do I mean by this?
You see, the challenge is that most people
live their life in a trance.
I'm not talking about waking
up in the morning.
I'm talking about waking up
from the trance because this is what I see
that most people do.
It's almost as most people
have been hypnotized on
who they are
and who they aren't.
And it's like they're hypnotized
on what they deserve to have
and what they don't deserve to have it.
It's almost like people are hypnotized
to what kind of a life is
possible
and what's impossible.
Now remember this: what you believe
to be true is true
for you. See,
when I grew up,
I was hypnotized to believe
that making money was
difficult.
I was hypnotized to believe
that a better life would take
a lot of hard work.
I was hypnotized to believe
that you have to get a good
education,
work hard,
save money,
and then when you turn 65,
you can retire rich.
I realized very quickly that
none of this is true
and you know what?
It's also not our nature
to do this.
Think about it.
No baby is born thinking
that it has to work for somebody else
and absolutely no
child grows up thinking,
oh I need to become a great employee.
What do children say when you ask them
who do you want to be when you grow
up? What do they say?
They say things like a firefighter,
or an astronaut,
or they say,
you know what? I want to travel the
world. I want to go to Australia
or something like this.
I mean, talk to a kid that is
maybe six to eight years
old, right? Before they're being
hypnotized by school,
and by others, and ask them
what they want to become.
As children, we have all of these dreams
but then others tell us,
oh no.
You can't do this.
And we carry this over as adults.
Often as adults,
when we finish school
or college...
First of all, we have all these
dreams. We have dreams of building
a family.
Having these dreams of spending time
with them. Having these dreams of traveling,
of really enjoying life.
Isn't that the truth?
We have all of these great goals
but then life happens,
and when life happens,
often we lose track of these
long-term goals.
Then you look up in six weeks,
or in six months,
or in six years,
and you have made no progress.
None.
You never moved
and at some point,
you think to yourself,
maybe I can't.
And so, you give up,
and you let it fade,
and you settle.
No!
Don't do that.
You see, embed that
long term goal in your
mind
and then think about it.
And write about it.
And talk about it.
And hang it up on your wall.
But most importantly,
do something about
it. Do something about it
every day.
Do something that moves you towards
that goal that keeps that goal
alive, and inside,
and in focus,
and however small
or insignificant that
step might seem, take
it. Do it.
Do that little piece.
Keep that goal alive.
Make it happen.
That goal isn't going to achieve
itself.
It's all on you.
Our gravestone has a day.
A day when you were born
and a day when you die,
and there's there is a dash
in between,
and that dash defines
what your legacy is.
So,
it's time to wake up.
Wake up because at any given time,
you have two choices.
When you wake up in the morning,
you have these two choices.
You can go back to sleep
and by sleep,
I mean go back
to your saddling in
or you wake up
and chase those dreams
and this is what I want for
you.
Chase those dreams.
Keep them alive.
All right. I think I got all rallied
up here, but this is a quote that is really
near and dear to my heart,
and I really encourage you.
You'll find this on my Facebook
page. Save it to your desktop.
Save it to your phone.
Look at it.
Wake up.
Live your life.
Is this helpful?
A little bit of motivation here because I
think this is also for me personally.
I like listening to motivational
speeches, to motivational videos because
sometimes we need it.
Sometimes we can fall
into this trend.
So, this is where I hope that this
motivates you.
And I'll also make this into
a podcast that you can listen over
and over again.
By the way, did you know that I
have a podcast right now?
You can look it up on iTunes
or on Google podcast.
It's called The Truth About Trading
and you'll find many of the segments
that we are doing here live
in this podcast.
And I'll promise that I'll put this
up here over the next few days
and then you can listen to it over
and over again. My team is doing a fantastic
job of taking this
longer segment here
and chopping it up into little
pieces that make it easy for
you to digest then.
