BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF – POWERFUL Motivational Speech
[Music]
you have to have the truth to have a
starting point so when you like it if
I’m lying to you about Who I am where
I’m lying to you about whatever there’s
no starting point there’s a false
reality you have to create the real
reality
well it’s ultimately the principle that
you know you want to be a little bit
better in some way tomorrow than you are
today but it’s not gonna be in a linear
path again these go through cycles of
stress and recovery so it’s just kind of
being able to surf the flow of that and
know again it really comes down to
balance so it’s the practices if you
need to know what to do for sure and
then you need to know how to apply those
things in the right way for someone
who’s in school and society have this
room making you feel like there’s only
two ways that you’re there born into it
or you wait to turn but what I’ve
learned is that there’s always always
the third door and at the entrance we
have to jump out of line run down the
alley bang on the door hundred times
crack open the window go through the
kitchen there’s always a way in and it
doesn’t matter if that’s how gates on
this first piece of software or how
Spielberg and young destructive how the
history they all talk
but every time I failed
I always had an excuse I always had a
reason
you know just blaming everyone else for
why I wasn’t succeeding in life but
after my third major failure that’s when
I really stopped and realized I’m the
common denominator Here I am the one
person that is consistent in all three
of these massive failures and unless I’m
gonna take that really serious to change
the person that I am
then my outcome is never gonna change
once you come face-to-face with who you
are you have a starting point all right
I’m not real smart I have no courage
I have no self-esteem I have no nothing
nothing that’s my starting point now we
can move from there but if I tell myself
I’m strong I have courage I’m smart and
all these are lies you continuously push
that starting point backwards so that
starting point is the truth
you know fear is a belief that something
negative is going to happen rather than
something positive is going down and so
it’s like that’s on the other side
you’re almost believing in your failure
right rather than believing in your
success so you have to go attack and
collapse these different fears a lot of
the fear comes because we’re afraid that
we’re gonna judge ourselves harshly or
whatever so you got to realize like
there is no such thing as failure
there’s just learning right so you
collapse the penalty for failure so that
collapses the fear which allows you to
believe even more so that’s one way to
do it and the other way is to just look
at fear itself and play out the
different scenarios know that you’re
gonna be fine again forgive yourself
always and really also just attack fear
wherever you see it
[Music]
and the difference between fearlessness
and courage is that fearlessness is
jumping off of the cliff without
thinking courage is acknowledging your
fear analysing the consequences and
deciding you still care so much about it
you’re going to keep one step forward
that’s why people can understand what is
in us we have no idea until we start
trying hard and I mean really trying
hard well you’re obsessed with hey this
is my new norm my new norm is that wow
this isn’t always fun it’s not always
meant to be fun and that’s what you know
you’re trying hard
and if you believe there’s something
that’s irrational that should control
you that will apply University so
wherever you find fear specifically
collapse fear wherever you see it and
that specific collapse will help with
the universal collapse of fear in
general the key of taking that first
step it’s not about trying to logically
argue with those voices in our head you
will never win against the voices in
your head if you try to argue with them
what I’ve learned is that if you instead
of focusing on the voices and the fears
you focus on the desires
[Music]
[Music]
every day I try to wake up and work on
like what excites me what like what
makes me feel like I’m having impact or
I’m sort of fulfilling my potential in
some way so if I’m thinking about a
foundational belief it’s that everyone
has something that they can offer the
world they’ve got to figure out what
that thing is and they’ve got to make a
lot of very difficult decisions usually
saying no to things that puts them in
the best position to fulfill whatever
that potential is as human beings we are
meant to grow and when you stop growing
your soul and your heart and your spirit
dies but as you move through life it is
unavoidable to face things that are
challenging face disappointment face
things that are just absolutely
heartbreaking the ability to have
self-awareness and to have the ability
to pause before your emotions take over
and take you down a negative spiral you
just got to understand it the only thing
that you’re responsible for is your best
but you can’t do better than your best
you just do your best and if you try to
obsess too much you’re not doing your
best you’re gonna be paralyzed right so
you have to get as much information as
you can make the most educated choice
make sure that you’re not choosing based
on ego or emotion or you know greed or
these other forces that delude you and
prevent you from thinking clearly but if
you do your best and you fail
like what do you do beat yourself up for
that like that doesn’t make any sense if
you’re doing your best if you’re really
laying it out there there’s nothing
nothing more you can do when you say how
do I make this happen you’re undoing all
your work because you’re operating from
a place of fear because you’re asking
how do I little me make it happen and if
I don’t make it happen it means it’s not
gonna happen which means I’m in a fear
vibration
instead ask yourself
the soda pop didn’t chosen thermostat
the million division of may have
cultivated my survived I’ve got
everything down how can I now show up to
participate
that’s what we do we go like what’s the
meaning of life as though someone
supposed to tell us and he’s saying no
actually life is asking you that
question existence as she asks you that
question and you answer it with your
choices and decisions and the life
because your life is the answer right
well when you are in the face of so much
uncertainty which we all are right now
what you have to do is you have to win
the battle
which is the Battle of your mind
[Music]
not to people we have the easy voice
which is that 20% telling yourself that
you’re easy at 90% of my full potential
maybe 100 percent at that 20% that’s
that voice that we all love doesn’t care
how good you are just loves you just
loves you about how messed up you are
life that’s where you want to be at so
that’s that one list there’s other voice
that we walk very far away from is the
boy to say hey man you ain’t doing this
so we tried to get this voice out
of our head completely so what you have
to do first is turn up this voice over
here the boys saying things to you that
aren’t nice I’m not saying to put
yourself down I’m saying listen to the
truth and the truth isn’t in the 20% in
this other 80% is suffering pain failure
failure failure self-doubt darkness and
then a whole bunch of light
[Music]
young people will always look up and
reach for the highest branch they see as
possible whether it’s up to parents
whether it’s up to schools and what I’ve
learned is that when you change what
someone believes is possible you change
what becomes possible
[Music]
