THE DISCIPLINED MIND - Motivational Speech Compilation

everything you're going through is preparing you for what you ask god for you just got to quit tripping while you're in the process tonight the question i ask you is what things in your life are you going to give a funeral to what things in your life have to die what things in your life have been keeping you from seeing the greatest version of yourself having keeping you from knowing your worth have been keeping you for seeing how special you are players who implement strategies that get focused and intense they win decades they win multiple championships you gotta win year after year after year and once you understand that you can always make a different choice and get a different reaction and that's the power in your life that's the power that you have is no matter what's going on you can choose to think differently believe differently see differently all of those things are a choice if you have a why you can survive almost anyhow once you begin to discover who you are then you really realize how you have been given authority and dominion over everything on the face of the earth including all the dimensions of your life but you can only do that through the struggle of life you got to blow your bubble up expand yourself take yourself out your comfort zone do not live in your bubble put some more air in your bubble if you stay in your comfort zone that's where you will fail here's the problem i find most people have they judge themselves to the lens of a moment they fail at something they miss they embarrass themselves they flub something [Music] and they think that defines who they are but i'm telling you right now you're not defined by who you are you're defined by who you want to become and the price you're willing to pay to get there and most people avoid the struggle most people go through life avoiding pain and when you go through life like that something in you dies you will fail in your comfort zone success is not a comfortable procedure don't have time to regret we move on because we are acceptable for what we are not who we think we should be i'm accepted in myself by what i am but not as i think i should be because that's a lie there is a you inside of you i promise you this that you haven't even met you there is a you inside of you that is beyond anything that you can understand now like i was telling you before if you want to be ordinary you ain't even got to listen to me just go about your business if you think ordinary is cool ain't no problem it's some really really wonderful ordinary people but if you are sitting in this room and you have extraordinary aspirations then you're gonna have to do extra you can use your sense of meaning to calibrate your progress through life but but there's rules you have to aim at the highest possible good that you can conceive start by aiming at the star you can see rather than the dimmer one that you can't yet perceive something in you dies something in you that you never activate is lying dormant in there that you never get a chance to call on because you have not challenged yourself we think about all the reasons why we can't be something we see our impossibilities and so i want to erase that mindset right now no more excuses the only impossibilities that exist are the ones that you create [Music] question of what do you stand for and i will say this you're nothing if you're not the truth substance through your service your offering of your whole self change the chapters in the book of your life if you want to there's a book being written about you even if you can decide you and god or you and whatever you believe you're the author you can turn the page it might be year two three four four you get your big win but you can decide now i'm gonna walk talk and be a different person you put extra on tahoe ordinary and you come up with extraordinary it's no other way i'm sorry but here's the fact all of you have extraordinary capabilities all of you [Music] power to me is the ability to close your eyes and imagine a world the world the way you wish it was and then open your eyes and make that world come true there's a power in you that can enable you to be stronger and better than anything that's out here [Music] here and now that's it you want to improve you want to get better you want to get on a workout program or a clean diet you want to start a business [Music] where do you start [Music] you start right here you're the captain you're the master you're the foreman you're the general you're the hand don't give control of this to nobody [Music] you can protect yourself from negativity and that's what stops most people negative thoughts you can coat your mind from negativity pick up your damn suffering and bear it and try to be a good person so you don't make it worse the question i want to ask you right now as we talk about becoming the greatest chief is what's going to be a reason what's the reason when hard times hit your life you keep going what's the reason why everybody calls you stupid for believing in big dreams that you're going to ignore those opinions and keep going to achieve more with your life you were made to do something great with your life weren't you and you've always known it there's always been this little voice in your head since you're a little boy or a little girl you've always known there was something special about you you weren't born to be average you weren't born to have a mediocre existence on this earth you were born to do something great see we don't have the courage and that's what it takes courage it takes guts to do that which you know you need to do if you don't have the courage to act life many times will move on you and make you out you will be so miserable you will catch so much hell you say yes i will do it you start right now you initiate the action aggressively you go because the idea isn't going to execute itself and the book isn't going to write itself and the weights out in the gym they're not going to move themselves you have to do it and you have to do it now chasing down the person you were born to be that you were destined to be and since that day started the world the people around you are trying to get you to conform to average don't let this season take your life you can win this fight if it wasn't for my darkest storms i would have never found this trip to shine my life there's a purpose greater than your pain there's no growth without rain sometimes it takes your hardest storms to birth your greatest change your life is not finished you keep living it doesn't matter what happened in your past you're just a choice away from a new beginning your better future is a dream for yourself and for your family where do you want to go what do you want to do what do you want to be what do you want to see without dreams and visions people perish you've got to have something to go for that inspires the heart and the soul they're trying to get you off that track to finally meet your twin someday the best possible version of you every single day has to be a pursuit to get better to improve to grow to stretch how do you overcome the suffering of life is be a better person that's how you do it well that's hard it takes responsibility and i think you know if you said to someone you want to have a meaningful life everything you do matters that's the definition of a meaningful life but everything you do matters you're gonna have to carry that with you why do most people fail got it locked the answer is they never start [Music] now the reason that most people never start is because they don't think that they're going to get a result i'm too stupid i'm not good enough the hard thing is taking the first step everything else is just persistence inspiration is not enough your dream some we all want to hear this is not enough motivation is not enough information is not enough it comes down to application application creates transformation so you can hear it you can read it but if you don't apply it nothing will change in your life and that means you got to stop thinking about it and stop dreaming about it and stop researching every aspect of it and reading all about it and debating the pros and cons of it just start doing it because it's decisions we make to chase that best version of us every second every day that every day alters the direction of the course of our lives we've all made decisions that we regret that decision took me off course that decision put me further away of being the best life i could have the best version of me next step ask yourself what's blocking you what's preventing you from acting why don't you have the courage to handle that why won't you face that what are you running away from what kind of avoidance behavior are you engaged in next is what is the worst thing that can happen when you take action it is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all in which case you fail by default take that first step and make it happen get after it and get after it here and now dreams without goals are just dreams and they ultimately fuel disappointment so have dreams but have goals life goals yearly goals monthly goals daily goals i try to give myself a goal every day [Music] have goals and understand that to achieve these goals you must apply discipline [Music] and consistency who do you know that you can compare yourself to that's easy you yesterday so here's a good goal it's something like well aim high and i really mean that aim high but use as your control yourself it's like so your goal is to make today some tiny increment better than yesterday [Music] incremental improvement is unstoppable [Music] i continue to fail i love failure the abdominal will if you have a belief you can do something the only way you grow that like in the gym you grow your muscles by actually exercising them you know you grow the love of you and your wife by caring for them and having their back to grow the individual will to become something you must get comfortable with fear and failure they must be your best friends they're the only one that moves that needle of life why is that because it's a report card back on your shortcomings on why they are not living their dream on why they're not manifesting their greatness they will always be able to point those things out but none of those things count the only thing that counts results and results don't lie ladies and gentlemen they tell it all judge a tree by the fruit that it bears not the ones that it might talk about not the ones that it might wish for or think about or harm about but the fruit that it actually bears [Music] work on your focus work on your focus perspective is everything let me tell you something the problem with most of you is that you see difficult uh as something negative for real for real you and i want you i want you to see difficult differently but listen to me the more you go through the more difficult it is the more challenging it is listen to me the harder it is are you hearing me the more challenging it is all you're doing baby is building muscle so let us look i think that all of us are committed but i think that some of us are producing results in our lives that that level of commitment brings that we particularly don't like or find distasteful i don't think that as a participant in life you cannot be committed you either committed to mediocrity or you committed to greatness the goal should be how could i conceive of my life so that if i had that life it would clearly be worth living so i wouldn't have to be bitter resentful deceitful arrogant and vengeful hard work works so don't quit don't give up don't don't stare at them listen to me you don't get bought by staring at weights you don't get bumped by look you don't get healthier by staring at it you get healthier by running up to it and grabbing it and pushing it look push through that stuff push through it you can get through it he said he won't put on you more than you can bear you can't get through it safety comfort zones are dead zones because your true potential will never be matched will never be matched you have to continue to push yourself [Music] i'm gonna make a difference in the world and you don't believe it but say it a million times you're gonna end up believing it i'm meant to do something special in my life there's no way in the world god put me on this planet to just be a regular guy no way the blood in here is boiling i want to do something big with my life this guy was put on this planet to make a difference say it over and over and over and over and over and over again convince everybody in the world the entire time you're just trying to convince one person and that is you you must break society's status quo status quo is normality you're either committed to being productive or you're committed to being non-productive you're committed to being happy or you're committed to being unhappy see whatever you're doing however you spend your time that tells you who you are so think about what it is you like to create in your life experience winning is in all of us we all want to win but the path people take to get to winning everybody wants the end result and they want to feel the sugar and the the the confetti and all that other stuff but what you have to endure to win no one wants to talk about and that's what really winning is about because you spend more time enduring it and being in a pl and not in a good place and i wanted to bring it out and say hey no matter what you do in life where you're at this is what winning takes and it's in all of us and anything you want good you can have so claim it work hard to get it when you get it reach back pull someone else up you decided there's something you wanted so bad that you unleashed all your desire you became obsessed with it if it was a business or a relationship or a transformation in your body if there's something you once envisioned and now it's real it's because you didn't just envision it you brought so much emotion to it that now it's in your life it was once a dream it was once a goal and now it's in your life it's alive but not living it's death on a stick guys the belief of the individual can overcome thousands of followers one person with a belief overrides thousands of people with just intent to do all we can right now where we are forget about the mistakes yesterday forget about all your failures yesterday forget it forget about what you don't have that's not important the only thing that we have is right now difference between a champion and someone who's forgotten is that champion shows up [Music] do great things while they are still small the sage the sage does not attempt anything very big and thus achieves greatness greatness comes from being in the moment here present in the now the sage confronts difficulties but never experiences them this is the idea of thinking small and finally i'd like to see you change from this thought change from seeing yourself as separate to seeing yourself as connected to everyone and everything in the universe and not change your life unless you go inside first you figure out who you are what your own wisdom is telling you to do and you start to actually believe it and follow it you can't always look for other people to help you other people got their own problems they got their own they got to deal with they're trying to achieve their own goals their will but after a while it's on you your failure and your success is on you once you believe that you can get good at something that you can get great that you can even become extraordinary through an inhuman amount of effort then you'll take the steps why because you know your efforts will be rewarded with results that is the most important thing for you to believe that your energies are going to be rewarded because then you'll move forward [Music] the choices that you make day to day have this profound and lasting effect on the structure of reality [Music] ladies and gentlemen don't give your power away you don't need anybody to approve your dream it was given to you if they can't see it it's because it wasn't given to them it was given to you hold it nourish it cultivate it work on it it's yours it's your baby work on it until it comes into fruition learn all this stuff you can digest all the tactics information that i give out but if you're not willing to do one more eventually there's a part of you that says maybe maybe i don't deserve it i'm just doing what everybody else is doing and that's not good enough it's not even good enough to do more than everybody else it's your maxed out level it's one more of everything so we have to find a way to construct a narrative about ourselves empowers us that lifts us up even though even though we make mistakes even though we fall down even though we're never going to get things right all the time and even though terrible things happen to us or maybe we do terrible things [Music] but in that the erosion of the self that's the danger i'm always going to do extra and you accept the fact that all things break down over time all the barriers will go away all the obstacles will go away everything in your way will go away if you keep after it over an extended period of time as you go toward your goals and your dreams spring forth with a mighty face to write the book that ought to be written by you to help the people that ought to be helped by you to make the difference in our society that ought to be made by you quitting [Music] guarantees the failure once you quit it it rules out any chance of succeeding the mere waking up every day putting the next foot in front of the next one at least keeps you in the game that no one's coming it's up to you you're not a kid anymore i'm dead serious about this like most a lot so many of you are waiting to be picked by who are you making the most of your life get good enough to have the life that i want my ideal life but i'm gonna get good enough and from that i plant a very unreasonable belief inside my soul which is i can have any life i want and now i just need to write out exactly what that is i've hand crafted the life that i desire and i know the realities of who i am and what needs to be true in order for me to move well through the world have tomorrow be wildly different than today [Music] somebody said the land of familiarity belongs to the dead that most people like to feel like they're king in the area of their comfort zone they only want to do those things that they know how to do well osborne said unless you attempt to do something beyond that which you've already mastered you will never grow so if you want to begin to grow you've got to put something out here that you can't reach easily that has got to make you stretch everyone's going to hit adversity it's how you deal with that adversity and the key word is you not letting somebody else deal with that adversity are you going to fight through it or are you going to curl up and just roll over into the corner here's what i'm here to remind you of today you've got to stick around long enough for the candy to come out you got to wait for the candy to come out of that pinata called your life called your business called your body called your relationships the vast majority of people in life don't stick around for the candy because they think as they're hitting the pinata of their life they don't think they're making progress it doesn't feel like progress but i'm telling you the number one ability is availability and if you keep swinging away every day even though it doesn't feel like it you are getting closer to the candy there's some things about life that defies logic [Music] you've got to learn how to walk by faith and not by sight you know everyone has their disabilities let's say and i know that some people are far more terribly affected than other people but the question is what do you do about that and what you do is you you set yourself up on your damn crutches and you struggle up the bloody hill that's what you do and you struggle up the hill towards the kingdom of god that's what you do because the alternative is to descend into the abyss that's the alternative and then so to say well do you believe it's like i believe that you should struggle uphill towards the city of god on your crutches that's what you should do that's the opposite of the descent into the abyss and so that's that's at the foundation of our civilization that idea argue with it if you will see if you can figure out why that's not an acceptable idea maybe you should help someone struggle up the hill perhaps you should you know you can lend a hand to someone only you don't want to take the burden away from them entirely because there's something noble about struggling up the damn hill right there's something that's adventure that's the call to proper being it's like well we don't need to forget this no one's coming back to so it starts with that person in that mirror you have to realize you are on your own now i don't care what you believe in but on earth is a very lonely journey the price for a full life is mistakes mistakes are the price for a full life that you have to pay if you learn from them i believe that hell wants to maim you and mock you with your mistakes but heaven wants to make you and transform you by your mistakes failure should not become a prison house where you're held hostage the rest of your life by your mistakes that's not god's voice that's not god's will that's not god's plan for you and i'm not naive and you don't take pride in what you do but the thing about loving the process everybody wants to prize but nobody loves to process everybody wants to be a champion but nobody's willing to put in the work that it takes to be a champion everybody wants to hold up the trophy and say man i get it but nobody's willing to put in the work that it takes to do it i love the process i love the thought of working for what i want and i firmly believe you never supposed to for it more than you're willing to work for so sometimes to really find the root of who you are you must go back generationally and find out if you're following the same curses that's what pain is pain is a repetition of the psyche walking by faith that's walking by sight if i can see it i'll do it no no no no that's a lot of people saying if i can see it i'll believe it no no no if you believe it you can see it don't be disturbed because no one else can see it that's not unusual that is ordinary but because you want some different kind of results in your life you've got to be willing to be unreasonable but a lot of people they wish and they're not willing to work and the great thing about life life has a funny way of testing all of us and seeing how bad we really want what it is that we say we want but life is going to hit you with a certain level of opposition life is going to hit you with a certain level of adversity and life is going to say to you you said you wanted it now let's see how bad you really want it [Music] one thing from you as great as you are as skilled as you are as talented as you are i just want one thing from you never allow life to make you forget why you do what you do [Music] you have to find a dream that's so big that it overwhelms all of your fears and causes you to never give up now you're gonna think about quitting no matter what you do i thought about it many times [Music] until you learn how to figure it out until you learn how to tap it on tap it on the back and say i know you there but i'm built to deal with you i don't want nobody to leave here today and not understand why we must find a way to push through pain to understand this on the other side of that is glory it starts with the accountability mirror looking at saying hey all these things are coming back i have to face myself and you have to own all those things that people may have done to you now it's yours you got to own it it's yours now to fix the problems that people did to you it makes no sense it's not fair i get it but if you live in that what was me mentality of guess what my dad did this to me my mom just did to me people who bullied did this to me you're going to always live right there you have to figure out ways to move forward because you're not coming back people don't burn out people don't quit people don't under achieve people don't settle because of what they do people burn out people quit people under achieve and people settle because life makes them forget why they do it if we respect it the way we say we respect him if we love it the way we say we love it if we cherish it the way we say we cherish it every single day should be nothing less than excellence you might not always be your best but you can always bring me your best not happiness forget about that if it comes well great accept it dignity nobility character truth responsibility beauty those are the things to aim for the road to life is straight and narrow and few there be that find it because fuel there will be that are willing to do the things today others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have [Music]
