forget attention...just hustle and shock them with who you become - Motivational Speech

[Music] basically it all begins with how we choose to think as you think so shall you be seven little words that i think are perhaps the most important things that we can learn and master in our lives this old proverb notion that i become what i think about all day long and once you know that what you think about is what expands you start getting real careful about what you think about you don't allow your thoughts to be on anything that you don't want or that you wouldn't want to have manifest or show up for you in your life okay well if you have some faults and you feel insecure and inferior because of that well you should now it shouldn't be so much that you're crippled by it and unable to take action you shouldn't be beating yourself into the ground because you're not everything you could be because no one is and if you beat yourself into the ground then you can't get up and improve but you you you have to differentiate it's like okay to what degree am i being hard on myself counterproductively critical adopting inappropriate stereotypical representations of masculine competency how much of my self-criticism is ill-advised fair enough and you want to deal with yourself with a certain amount of care but then along with that there's the well fix your weaknesses [Music] tell people this is there's a daily practice like if you get up and you just have no discipline whatsoever you get no value in anything your diets don't work when you don't do them exercise doesn't work when you don't do them but most of people have some experiences that they want to shift and once you shift those things your whole life changes but life is constant growth everybody is motivated by two different things one you have the beautiful things in your life the flip side of that equation are the things that uh it's people that doubt you i find in very acute moments the darkness serves you better how specifically am i going to achieve that goal like what are the strategies and the tactics meaning what are you going to do how specifically are you going to do it by when i'm gonna ask myself empowering questions like how can i overcome this obstacle what can i do to overcome this obstacle to manage your mindset and your emotions what are you going to do to overcome the obstacles that are in your way whether the mental obstacles physical obstacles financial obstacles strategical obstacles tactical obstacles well yeah if you want to achieve goals there's a thinking there is a feeling and there's a behavior that gets you there you can't give away what you don't have can't give away love for others if you don't have love in here to give away if what you have in here is contempt if what you have in here is anger if you have in here is fear then these are the things you're going to be giving away in your life you need a sustaining meaning that's deep and and profound and deep and profound enough to get you through bad times because there will be very bad times in your life there'll be death and there'll be illness and there'll be disappointment of all sorts and and there'll be just the standard difficulties of life in the world to contend with and you really must have something that's profound and powerful to set up against that and i think that your voluntary adoption of the struggle to improve being is the proper antidote to that right now in most people's experience it is me versus universe this is how people are experiencing life otherwise why continuous anxiety fear they think they are fighting for their life all the time why they are fighting the whole universe individual and the universal being in competition with the universe is a stupid thing to do the thing that'll make me love my life the most is to do the things that are fulfilling and i think fulfillment has a very specific universal formula and that formula is work your ass off to get very good at something that you care deeply about that allows you to serve not only yourself but other people that's it the simple thing is this see if your joy your sadness your happiness your misery is determined by something or somebody around you the chances of you being joyful in your life is remote the core the core of of what really matters that we are the same you know how i know that because all of us are seeking the same thing and we'll go out into the world and each pursue based upon what you believe your talents are what your skills are maybe your gifts are but you're seeking the same thing everybody wants to fulfill the highest truest expression of yourself deep down aside i believe most people on the planet are heartbroken why because they have betrayed the visions ambitions values mission in their heart they have betrayed their [Music] talent one of the things that first comes to mind you know if we would just to try to say in a few words what's mindfulness a very common response might be well it's living in the present moment it's being in the present so that's a pretty good beginning you're all very aware of how much of the time we are lost in thoughts of past and lost in thoughts of future now sometimes very very little time is actually spent in the moment you know because of this proliferation of thoughts because we can be observing experience and we often are through many different filters in the mind we can be observing experience through the filter of desire we can be observing things through the filter of anger or aversion or through the filter of delusion you know where there's just a cloudiness we're observing we're in that mode but the observation is being conditioned by the particular mind state [Music] you
