If you wanted to create a new personal reality,
a new life,
then you would have to start thinking about
what you've been thinking about and change it.
You would have to become aware of your unconscious thoughts
and observe them.
Most people try to create a new personal reality
as the same personality, and it doesn't work.
You literally have to become someone else.
If you wanna change your life
you gotta make a decision to change your life.
And sitting around and waiting to feel ready
is not the decision I want you to make.
Yes or no?
Make the binary code decision
yes or no.
It's a commitment.
It is not a feeling.
Commitment don't have nothing to do with your feelings.
You do it because you're supposed to.
So as you're looking at
the choices that are before you
where you've got a path that's well trodden,
you've got a path that literally is invisible
and won't become something until you step on it.
You have to understand that that's what this life is
meant to be, and that the only frustration
that you will look back on with tremendous regret
is knowing that
you did what was easy
even though it wasn't you.
You can do anything you want
without limitation, whatever it is
that you decide you want to make come true in your life
you can do that.
It is gonna take an inhuman amount of work.
You're gonna have to be prepared to break yourself in half.
You are going to have to learn
more than anyone has ever learned.
You're gonna have to push yourself harder than anyone
has ever asked you to push yourself before
you're gonna go way beyond your breaking point and why?
Because as Malcolm X said,
the future belongs to those who prepare for it today
In this life
to be successful
you always need to stay ready
because your opportunity
will come and go before you even know it.
These are the moments
the opportunities that will come and pass us by,
and it's about taking the time to prepare
so we can capture the moment
so that we can win that very moment.
Successful people know that if you stay ready
you don't need to get ready.
You do not prepare to be against the world
you prepare to act reasonably within a chaotic world
where not everybody is as well prepared as you are.
The question is
will you do it
for yourself?
Manifesting is intentionally
training your brain and your nervous system
to believe in something that hasn't happened yet.
That's what manifesting is.
Manifesting is a power tool.
It's backed by neuroscience.
It is backed by years of research and when used properly,
it helps you achieve your goals because
it helps you prepare to do the work
I use
Science backed manifesting tools every single
day to shut down the negative conversations in my life
and to live a big life and to take big risks.
And dude, Olympic athletes use manifesting.
And we're gonna get into how Olympic athletes
and the world's leading, you know,
business leaders and successful people everywhere use it.
But I'm telling you right now,
the way you shut down your internal
conversation that is holding you back is manifesting.
Manifesting is one of the first things you have to
learn how to do to get started on making this a reality.
So what is manifesting?
Manifesting is mentally training, forgetting what you want.
That's all that it is.
It is part of the toolkit that
successful people around the world use.
Let me tell you what manifesting is not.
Manifesting is not thinking thoughts
and then hoping they come through.
That is what people do on their seventh birthday
and they blow out the candles.
That is not what we are doing here.
Manifesting is based in neuroscience.
It is a tool that you are going to use
precisely, intentionally, systematically
with purpose because you use manifesting to
rewire your mind and your body and your spirit.
To help you do the work to achieve your dreams
when you use manifesting properly.
You are removing the mental obstacles of self-doubt,
resistance, fear, perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed,
other people's expectations,
all that stuff that is holding you in place right now
that makes you spin in circles,
manifesting clears that doubt and it
programs using science, a completely different way of thinking and feeling
About the things that you want to create in your life
and when you manifest properly, it's almost like the
pre-game training that you do before the big game.
It prepares you to take action.
It boosts your confidence,
it gets you ready to do that thing.
There's three P's that you gotta annihilate, crush, or destroy
if they're getting in the way of your progress in a relationship
or your career, or your happiness or your health.
These are the three P's that make learned helplessness.
Number one, you think the problem is permanent.
Once you've had enough disappointment,
sometimes your brain doesn't want to get disappointed, so
it's a permanent problem.
Please write down.
No problem is permanent.
Only your soul is permanent.
Nothing's forever.
Everything changes,
everything eventually ends and something new begins.
That's part of life.
Those are the seasons of life.
The second P that keeps people and
learn helpless so they don't change.
This belief's gotta be annihilated,
broken through, and that it's Pervasive.
That means that because my relationship's
not great, my whole life is horrible.
And you're forgetting you do have health
or you do have friends, or you do have a job,
or you do have whatever I can breathe.
And the third one is, we think the problem is Personal.
There's something wrong with me.
And if you start believing that, it becomes self-fulfilling.
You give up.
See, I'm not good enough.
I'm not beautiful enough, I'm not smart enough.
I always screw it up.
So those three P's gotta be destroyed.
If we don't have a sense of purpose, then you are doing
the thing you're doing just for the sake of doing it.
Like, I'm, I'm making money just for the sake of money.
I'm doing, I'm turning this
wrench just for the sake of turning this wrench.
And when we do things that
contribute to something else, contribute to something
bigger, it gives our lives and our work meaning.
And when we have a sense of meaning, when we have a
sense of purpose, it does many, many things to us.
It builds our self-confidence.
It makes us better decision makers,
it makes us better in relationships.
And at the end of the day, it makes us enjoy our lives
and find fulfillment in our work.
and I think so often, you know,
and I think there's a lot of people don't think about it this way.
They don't think about what's the purpose of all of this?
what's the reason I'm doing all of this?
We usually default to, I gotta pay my bills.
That's a function, you know?
Because I was told to do it
because everybody has to work or because I'm just trying to
I wanna make this company the biggest or the best
to what end
To what to what value.
and so to truly understand purpose
I think, like I said, it, it sort of just,
just has positive effects all over the place.
In the real world, we miss. Sometimes by a lot.
But we have to keep trying.
The more we work on it the better we get.
The more shots we take,
the more times we’ll hit the target
and the more good we’ll do.
“When a philosopher,” he said, “is exhorting, persuading, rebuking, or discussing some aspect of philosophy,
if the audience pour forth trite and commonplace words of praise in their enthusiasm and unrestraint,
if they even shout,
if they gesticulate,
if they are moved and aroused,
and swayed by the charm of his words,
by the rhythm of his phrases,
and by certain rhetorical repetitions,
then you may know that both the speaker and his audience are wasting their time,
and that they are not hearing a philosopher speaking but a flute player performing.”
But this inner battle—
as Martin Luther King Jr. would later call the Civil War between the “North” and “South” of our souls—
rings true to any person with a shred of self-awareness.
We have competing parts within us, and what matters in life is which side we choose to turn ourselves over to.
One must design one’s life, Posidonius said,
“to live contemplating the truth and order of the universe
and promoting it as much as possible,
being led in no respect by the irrational part of the soul.
A wise man can make use of whatever comes his way, he said,
but is in want of nothing.
“On the other hand,” he said,
“nothing is needed by the fool for he does not understand how to use anything but he is in want of everything.”
There is no better definition of a Stoic:
to have but not want, to enjoy without needing.
If the breaking day sees someone proud,
The ending day sees them brought low.
No one should put too much trust in triumph,
No one should give up hope of trials improving.
Clotho mixes one with the other and stops Fortune from resting,
spinning every fate around.
No one has had so much divine favor That they could guarantee themselves tomorrow.
God keeps our lives hurtling on, Spinning in a whirlwind.
