I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN – Motivational Video 2020
changing is not easy but changing your
life changing habits reinventing
yourself picking yourself up after life
has knocked you flat on your back I’ve
got to say when life knocks you down try
and land on your back because if you can
look up you can get up life is a fight
for territory and once you stop fighting
for what we want but you don’t want will
automatically take over and so it’s a
fight is a challenge in life everyday
and what we have to do is embrace it
what we have to do is see it as a
project you worked on it in life you
will always be faced with a series of
god-ordained opportunities brilliantly
disguised as problems and challenges if
you die today
what dreams what ideas what talents what
books what music what leadership what
voice will die with you there are a lot
of people who are biting their fingers
and fear that they might lose their jobs
but there are few people who have
decided within themselves I’m going to
make you some people aren’t waiting to
be cut some people are moving on their
own
because they feel within themselves I’ve
got what it takes to make it they’re not
afraid about tomorrow because of how
they see themselves because of what they
feel that they deserve because of what
they feel that they can create for
themselves because these people have
decided as they look at the future as
they look at themselves there’s a way
where there’s a will there’s a way for
me to begin to create a way out of no
way and when you have that kind of
consciousness when you have that kind of
spirit nothing can stop you nothing
there’s no secret to success there’s a
system to success and no matter what
organization you become a part of the
system works if you work if you don’t
work and it won’t work
but it works if you work it and that’s
one four-letter word that most people
who don’t like they’re not willing
there are winners there losers and there
are people who have not discovered how
to win and all they need is some
coaching all they need is some help and
assistance just a little support all
they need is some insight or different
strategy a plan of action to make some
adjustments that will open up the key to
a whole new future for them that will
give them access to the unlimited power
that they have within themselves that’s
all that they need so what I want you to
do is think about something you want for
you that’s real for you that’s important
for you that will give your life some
special meaning and power and I don’t
even want you to say I can do that I
don’t want you to assume that I don’t
want you to begin to just psych yourself
out no I want you to be able to say
something to yourself that will enable
you to maintain a level of integrity
with yourself that when you say this
even when you face tremendous setbacks
it it will be a bench mob to keep you in
the game to keep you moving forward in
experimenting and readjusting your
strategy and your plan of action
continuously looking for ways to win
please getting things is not gonna make
you happy that’s good news in a tough
economy it’s a good reminder you know it
doesn’t matter what you get doesn’t
matter whether it be money or
opportunity all those things might
excite you for the moment you know even
a relationship as magnificent it may be
might be exciting for a while
but if you don’t keep growing that
relationship isn’t gonna stay exciting
so the secret to real happiness is
progress progress equals happiness in
oblique we make progress on a regular
basis we feel alive and that’s why at
the beginning of the year we get this
thing like okay I can have this fresh
start I could really do what my soul
desires I could expand I could grow I
can improve I could change or maybe
better than change I could progress see
think about that progress is an
aliveness to it doesn’t it
you don’t have to work at changing
people say all the time that allowed I’m
working on changing don’t worry about it
you have to work on changing changes
automatic your body’s gonna change
whether you want it or not as the years
go by you no matter how hard you work
there’s gonna be some changes going on
there if the economy is gonna change no
matter what you want it to do the
weather is gonna change relationships
are gonna change everything in life is
always changing we have to work on
change change is automatic but progress
is not so if you want to make real
progress then you really got to look at
your life in a different way you gotta
say I gotta take control of this process
and not just hope that’s gonna work out
like people do who make a resolution cuz
really isn’t that what they’re really
doing at the beginning of the year
they’re saying well here’s my
resolutions for the year and they really
basically tell you their wishes it’s
their wish list it’s what they hope it
all comes together and then they call it
a resolution but they don’t know what a
resolution is when you resolve something
to have a resolution is to resolve it
when you’ve resolved this is how it’s
gonna be that’s when you cut off any
possibility except the thing you’ve
committed to it’s like the old adage if
you want to take the island and you burn
the boats because when you burn those
boats there’s no going back you’re gonna
find a way to make things work and most
people they’re stating what they hope
will come together and if it doesn’t
happen then they’re disappointed but
they’re not too disappointed cuz they’re
not too vested what does it take to
successfully create a lasting change in
your life to not only have a new year’s
resolution you follow through on but
really have a lasting change well the
first step for lasting change is very
much like making a new year’s resolution
fundamentally it’s the same the first
step is you got to have a vision a
vision for what it is you really truly
want not what you think you want or what
you should have I mean what most
people’s New Year’s resolutions I’m
gonna stop eating sugar you know I’m
gonna stop smoking I’m gonna lose 10
pounds probable that is it’s not very
inspiring for most people you know it’s
not telling you what you’re gonna get
it’s only what you’re not gonna do and
it’s kind of hard to have you move
forward with that a vision is about what
you’re here to create a vision that
really works is one that excites you if
you say well my you know my resolution
my goal my outcome for this month this
week this year is to lose
number pounds that’s okay but it’s not
very compelling it has to be a
compelling vision it’s gotta have
something has the power to pull you not
something you have to push yourself to
do those are two different kinds of
motivation push requires willpower and
willpower never lasts what will last is
pull having something so exciting so
attractive so something to desire so
much that you have a hard time going to
sleep at night you get so up early in
the morning to a rocket and take it to
the next level that’s what you’re
looking at great and that wasn’t easy to
get but one of the reasons we do
seminars and events me saying you know
why do that why isn’t why not just read
a book or something is because when you
get an environment where you were people
that are being put in a peak state like
when you’re going to a sporting event if
you watch the sporting event at home it
might have a certain level of excitement
but when you’re in a stadium with 50,000
people suddenly it has a whole different
level of intensity when we feel that and
the bottom line of our follow-through
comes down into our emotional intensity
in a different state of mind you’re
gonna come up with a much better and
more exciting vision than if you’re
sitting the couch going okay what are my
new resolutions to this year and you’re
doing it the morning after the new year
started and you’re a little inebriated
and the football games on the background
probably not gonna have the power of
focus they’re probably not gonna have
the power the energy to create something
that’s gonna pull you for this year and
you got to do that so it’s got to be a
vision that’s compelling something that
you know it’s gonna be a gift to make
sure that it happens and also along with
that compelling vision you gotta have
strong enough reasons that you’re gonna
follow through and the going gets tough
that’s one of the biggest things missing
for most people they say this is what I
want to do it’s not very exciting it’s
not very compelling but most importantly
they don’t have strong enough reasons to
push themselves through what’s gonna be
necessary to get that dream to get that
goal when the inevitable challenges come
up when you’re starving hungry and
you’re trying to go on a diet right when
you got no time and you’re stressed out
and you haven’t worked out still and
that’s what you’re supposed to do when
the economy gets tight and what you
thought you’re gonna do doesn’t work and
so you give up on the goal instead of
finding another way to get there you
don’t let the fear take you over if
you’ve got strong enough reasons those
reasons can be positive or those reasons
can also be negative they can be if I
don’t do this
it’s gonna cost me and if I do to this
this is what I’m gonna gain in my life
reasons come first answers come second
if you get a compelling vision and you
got strong enough for reasons that will
push you through the tough times you’re
gonna do things other people don’t do
instead of collapsing even if you get
off target you won’t go oh I blew it
you’ll get right back on target and make
the change make things happen and I know
you’ve done this in many areas your life
just think about it again and I’m not
teaching you something really new here
today I just want to remind you of what
your soul knows you got to change you
got to improve and you’ve got to go
through a simple process fundamentally
to make that progress first step vision
that’s compelling second step make sure
that they’re strong enough reason to
follow through third step you’ve got to
review it and feel it every day I mean
anything have you ever had this happen
in your life has there been anything in
your life that you’ve ever wanted so
badly you were so desirous of it yeah
it’s such a hunger for it that you
couldn’t stop thinking about it could
been a career move could have been when
you’re a kid a car it could have been a
relationship it could have been anything
but you were obsessed you wanted to make
this happen you wanted to attract this
to your life you wanna you just wanted
something and you didn’t even know how
to get it but it was so compelling team
kept thinking about it every day and
visioning and imagining it feeling it
and then stuff happened and suddenly you
started attract people or situations to
your life and it just came together like
you didn’t even have a total plan it was
just that it was so a part of your focus
with so much intensity and emotion so
often that it sensitized you to notice
anything that could get you there
there’s a part of your brain called the
reticular activating system for short we
call it the RAS that part of your brain
determines what you notice in the world
and it’s really important because when
you set a goal when you get really clear
in a vision they’re strong enough
reasons and you review it enough it
becomes a part of you that part of your
brain says anything that relates to this
I need to notice did you ever buy a
certain kind of car or maybe a certain
outfit and suddenly you see that car
everywhere those outfits everywhere oh
you know the cars were always around but
why do you see it now because your Ras
knows this is important this is part of
my world now
similarly when you really get clear and
it’s compelling and you’re reviewing it
every day got strong reasons you’re
viewing it every day and you’re feeling
it the brain becomes incredibly acute at
noticing anything to get you to move
forward and so that’s the power of this
so you know what do people do with New
Year’s resolution they come up with
something they kind of want it’s not a
compelling vision they don’t really have
strong enough reasons and they never
review it again and told a notice that
they broke what they said they really
want to have make happen cuz they didn’t
really resolve if you resolve you got
the vision it’s compelling you review it
daily and you feel it you envision it
and you experience it simple as it
sounds now ultimately what is this
really about ultimately if you’re gonna
have lasting change in anything you’re
really talking about just raising your
standards I mean I always tell people if
you want to know how to change your life
that give it to you in three words
boring as it sounds
raise your standards what does that mean
corny as it sounds raise your standards
I’ll thank you for the breakthrough
thought Tony I’m glad I wasted my time
watching this little email with you but
think about lasting change is different
than a goal you don’t always get your
goals but you always get your standards
maybe they’ll help you is to think about
it this way I try to explain standards
to people with a different set of words
think of it as everybody in life gets
their must they don’t get their shirts
right think about it you must be above a
list of shoulds don’t they don’t have a
list of the shoulds things you should do
you should follow through on I I should
lose some weight I should work out more
I should make more calls I should
respond more rapidly to my email
whatever you know I should get into the
office earlier I should be you know more
confident whatever your should list is
people love to have their should list
make me met but it’s kind of like New
Year’s resolutions if it does it’s
really exciting but if it doesn’t which
is most the time it’s a little
disappointing but you kind of know it’s
not gonna happen but when you decide
something as a must for you an absolute
must when you come up any possible you
say I’m gonna find the way I’m gonna
make the way human beings when they
resolve things and they have make a real
resolution inside themselves which is
they raise the standard they make it a
must they find the way think about in
your own life happens you had some area
of your life where you raise your
standard and your life has never been
the same maybe at one time your life you
use smoke cigarettes or
he did something and you did it for
years and you kept trying to change it
trying to change it and kept telling
yourself I should and then one day
something happened something just
clicked you over something took you over
that kind of tipping point and inside
yourself you said no more it was a very
very different experience wasn’t it
something inside you shifted and what
was a should became a must and you’ve
never gone back is there an area like
that in your life you could think of
again I ever smoked cigarettes the
jammer eat a certain way drink a certain
form of alcohol and then finally say no
more and you just don’t go back and
notice this it doesn’t really take any
willpower anymore because somewhere when
we make this click we make something a
must we attach ourselves to it it
becomes part of our identity the one
thing I’ve learned in the last gosh 33
years of working with people from now
over 100 countries four million people
is human beings absolutely follow
through on who they believe they are if
you say said to me well I’m really gonna
work hard to stop smoking but you know
I’ve been a smoker my whole life and I’m
you know I am a smoker I know your days
are numbered you’re gonna be back
smoking cigarettes again because we all
act consistent with who we believe we
are
I tell people the strongest force in the
whole human personality is this need to
stay consistent with how we define
ourselves
if you define yourself as somebody who
is really conservative you’re not gonna
be crazy and act now it’s unless you’re
really drunk or something and then you
can say it’s the alcohol when it really
does you finally getting permission to
be yourself the alcohol is your excuse
if you’re a really crazy person you act
crazy outrageous playful you don’t act
conservative because that’s not who you
are very often people say well I can’t
do that I’m not that kind of person and
I always say to people really when did
you define yourself I mean really how
many years ago did you come up with what
you could and couldn’t do in your life
how many years ago most people if they
really look at how they’re living their
life today it’s based on a set of
standards a set of beliefs that they
made choices about 10 20 30 or more
years ago I mean very often we made
decisions in our youth or very
about what to believe about what we were
capable of about who we are as a person
and that becomes the glass ceiling if
you will that controls us there’s a
corny metaphor but it’s true I remember
one time I was with my family at the
circus and there’s a person there and
they had this big giant elephant and you
look at this elephant and they take this
little rope put around the elephant’s
neck and they drive the stake into the
ground and I mean you look at this you
know that elephant could rip down the
entire tent with almost no effort and
yet the elephant doesn’t struggle
doesn’t try why because the elephant’s
conditioned and they take that elephant
conditioned the elephant when it’s a
baby elephant that’s how they train them
when it’s a little baby elephant and it
doesn’t have the power yet they put a
big rope around it and they drive this
huge stake in the ground and the
elephant fights and fights and fights
and one day finally that often decides
I’m not capable enough out and once that
becomes the definition of an identity of
anyone an elephant in this case they
don’t even try anymore it’s just who I
am that’s how it is that’s just the way
it is in my life I’d like to ask you to
take a look at any place you’ve got a
limitation ask yourself when did I
decide to accept that limitation and you
may not even see it as a limitation you
might see they’re just that’s who I am
but so often our lives we’ve adapted to
be a certain way so that we don’t fail
or so that people will like us or
respect us but it’s not necessarily who
we are joy comes when you’re spontaneous
it’s really hard to be truly happy when
you’re not being yourself and most of us
have no clue who we are and so a big
part of my work if you’ve ever been to
an event you know is to get people and
do things spontaneously without thinking
because that’s when the real you shows
up that’s when the energy comes alive
and when you do that when you start to
connect your true nature suddenly
there’s energy available for you to set
a higher standard for what you want in
your life that’s what this is really all
about and when I talk about standards
when I talk about you no shoulds vs.
muss think about your own life I know
there have been areas in your life where
some point in time you just shift it and
you raise the standard in your life
change because whatever people have
their identity attached to they live we
live who we believe we are that’s just
how it works it’s just kind of like
I give an example look at your physical
body your physical body today is an
absolute reflection of only one thing
not your goals not your desires but your
standards the identity you have for
yourself if your standard is you’re an
athlete then there’s a certain amount of
strength a muscle tone and energy that’s
available in your body on a regular
basis because that’s who you are and so
you do whatever’s necessary to maintain
that identity again the strongest force
and the human personalities this need to
stay consistent with how we define
ourselves because if you don’t know who
you are you would not act once you lock
in on that identity your brain finds a
way to keep you there if you say you
know man I’m overweight I’ve always been
overweight I’m big-boned and that’s the
story you got then you’re gonna always
find a way to get back there that’s
you’re a settling point that’s your
identity that’s where things walk in if
you see somebody who’s in a really great
shape you ask him do you work out you
know the answer yes how often and
they’ll tell you three times four times
five times a week whatever in a seminar
last people who here works out at least
five days a week and I’m stand-up and
you look around that room and you know
that they work out five times a week as
you can see their body you don’t just
get a result without some kind of action
without some form of ritual ritual
meaning actions you do consistently now
do you think you know those people that
are out there working out five days a
week do they have more time than you do
or I have for anybody else of course not
is that a wife less busy of course not
it’s just a must for them they must work
out that way and they’ve made that turn
their life changed so I’m not saying you
have to work out five days a week I’m
just saying whatever you really want
once don’t get met consistently
standards do whatever you identify this
is Who I am and so it’s not so much
about changing your identity as there’s
expanding it you know deciding that you
know instead of your goals to lose ten
pounds which is not compelling what if
your vision was to get back to my
fighting weight you know this this year
this month this next 90 days I’m gonna
transform my body I’m gonna take on a
new challenge I’m gonna find some
technique or strategy there’s a million
of them that can reframe myself where I
want to feel younger
more vibrant than ever before here’s my
reasons because I want the energy to
really make my life work because it’s
tough out there and I want to be
stronger than I’ve ever been before I
only go in front of mirror and if I’m
naked not you know want to laughs I want
look there and take a good look and go
yeah I’m proud of whatever I see there
whatever it takes something’s gonna make
you a while smile something that’s gonna
tease yourself but someone’s gonna move
you to another level if you identify
yourself in a new way and you own that
every day and that becomes the staredown
you live you’ll find the way to make
that standard real money’s the same way
think about it doesn’t matter what’s
happening quote-unquote in the
marketplace people that make money find
a way to make money no matter what don’t
they I mean most people’s standard is to
pay their bills so that’s what most
people find a way to do even when
economic times get tough most people if
that’s their absolute standard they find
a way some people’s standard is pay
their bills most of the time and so most
of the time they do some people’s
standard is not just to pay their bills
but to take care of their family and
maybe even some of their friends and
they find a way in fact you might have
some people may be in a family where
they don’t have enough money to barely
have money to pay their bills they work
through guts out and then somebody their
mother their father somebody else their
sister gets ill and there’s not enough
money to take care of it nobody else has
money in the family they don’t either
but they find a way to get that money to
take care of their mother or father
don’t they and they their bells they
never could do it before why the
situation made them raise their own
standard and not everybody does that
somebody else in the family might have
money and still don’t take care of their
mother it all comes down to the inner
game my friends changing your life is a
change in the inner game the outside
world you can’t control but you have
absolute control over this one if you
learn that dynamics of what shapes you
and identity is one of those simple
clear fundamental basics that if you
start to shift it everything else will
shift in your life as well some people
by the way have to have more than enough
money to do what they want when they
want where they want with whomever they
want contribute the way they want and
that’s there must they find a way I know
that sounds overly simplistic but it’s
true
now somebody once said you can take all
the money in the world out of the hands
of everybody
of all the wealthy people in the world
who are really successful given to other
people it wouldn’t take too long those
people have it back in their hands it’s
not because they’re manipular that’s
because they have a standard some are
manipulate don’t get me wrong but
they’ve got a standard of what they’re
gonna find a way to make happen I’m just
simply saying to you take those three
magic words and live them raise your
standard if you really want to do it
then I’ll tell you the most important
secret have you ever done this have you
ever told yourself you’re raising you’re
saying okay I’m gonna go make this
happen I’m gonna go make this much money
I’m gonna transform my kids I’m gonna
create the ultimate relationship of my
life I’m gonna transform my body
whatever it is and then you don’t have
strong enough reasons and you don’t lose
use it you don’t follow through it’s
because you didn’t back up your
standards with what makes those
standards real and that’s rituals
rituals where the power is whenever we
do our Robbins results coaching and we
did Robbins equals results way we get
results with people it’s the same way if
you listen to my ultimate edge program
are back in the old days personal power
or if you went to one of my seminars you
know what I do is I take these huge
challenges you got and we break them
down into little bite-sized steps little
things you do each day that after you do
them you get so much momentum that it’s
easy to succeed you’re not overwhelmed
you have these victory day after day
after day on little things if you´d wins
to ultimate edge I’m sure you learn
about the hour of power or the 15
minutes to be able to be fulfilled or 30
minutes to thrive where you literally
just condition your body and emotion
with a couple little rituals so it
doesn’t matter what’s going on in your
world you feel that strength and it’s
not fake it’s not some pump up it’s
coming from inside you and it works
rituals define us see all the results in
your life are coming from your rituals
they start with a standard and then have
rituals that follow it up like for
example if you are where you want to be
physically you have very different
rituals than if you’re not where you
want to be physically if you’re
overweight you and I both know you got a
different ritual than if you’re
physically fit completely different you
get up in the morning what’s the first
thing you do if you’re fit your shoes
are there you roll over the minute how
you feel you put on your shoes you lace
and you start walking or whatever that
ritual is if you’re overweight you roll
over and you have a very different
ritual you might roll over several times
to turn the alarm clock
you go in and get your mocha smoke or
whatever you know special coffee you
stop by at Starbucks or over the case
maybe you have your nice sugar muffin
you know it’s supposed to be really nice
for you whatever you do it’s a different
ritual if you have a great passionate
relationship you have very different
rituals and how you come home than if
you have a lousy relationship become
home and the first thing you do is
you’re tweeting somebody or you’re
emailing or flipping on the news or you
don’t even come home and what are the
rituals
whenever I study people that are
successful while I look for is what’s
the standard they hold himself to and
then what are all those little rituals
that up because think about it success
and failure are not giant events they
don’t just show up you don’t just
suddenly become successful or suddenly
have this cataclysmic event that makes
you fail they look that way but failure
comes from all the little things its
failure to make the call its failure to
check the books its failure to say I’m
sorry its failure to push yourself to do
things physically that you don’t want to
do and all those little failures day
after day come together until one day
some Cataclysm if it happens you blame
that that event happened because you
missed all the little stuff do you agree
with me and success by the way is not
some overnight event it’s all these
little things success is having a vision
success is making a compelling success
is really seeing it feeling it every day
it was strong enough for reasons success
is feeling the sense that I’m here to
grow and I’m here to give something to
the world more than just myself success
is caring about other people success is
calling and saying I love you in the
middle of the day for no damn reason or
sending a note that will change your
relationship have a ritual of something
funny playful or a surprise you do how
many relationships are dead today
because they have no surprise rituals
anymore
you need to have some rituals some cool
things you do that nobody else does that
gives you a better life than anybody
else has all the little stuff that’s
where success comes from and in business
it comes from delivering more than
anybody could imagine all those little
things add up people go wow that’s who I
want to do business with it’s true in
any area of your life so if you look at
somebody’s really successful you think
I mean they’re they’re so amazing
there’s such a genius you got to dig
underneath you got to member something
people are rewarded in public for what
they’ve practiced for years in private
myself and my business people say how
are you get up and speaking of nono-chan
you go for three days and nights and the
room is like it he’s wired it’s
incredible it’s like a rock concert how
do you do that how do you have that
confidence huh
and you know it’s not confidence it’s
experience now but I did so much behind
the scenes and I still do to make things
right I mean how many people would know
that since the time I was 17 years old
before I walk onstage still do to this
day wouldn’t need to do it but I still
do it I never walked out there without
being in an absolute peak state of mind
you know there days my back is hurting
my throat was hurting or I may have a
challenger my father passed away and
I’ve still got to deliver for these
people because my standard is give my
all every time everything has to be
better talk to anybody has been to our
events for 5-10 years some of our
trainers and hey I don’t know he does it
he’s always finds a way to make it
better that’s not an ego thing that’s a
standard in me I have to find the way
and my ritual though is I prepare I
think I gather new information I figure
out how to put something across better
what do people need I spend time with
our customers I see what’s going on and
before I get on stage each time has a
sort of ritual to put myself in a state
of mind and I did it starting with like
17 years old I started doing it say I
now command my subconscious mind and I
say this out loud several times this
little phrase set of phrases as an
incantation to kind of condition my mind
and body and that’s an now command my
subconscious mind to direct me and
helping as many people as possible today
by giving me the strength and the
emotion and the humor and the brevity
whatever it takes to show this person
and help this person change their life
now and I started that with a person
when I work with people one-on-one and I
would do that for 45 minutes driving in
my Volkswagen to go serve and coach
somebody for the first time now I don’t
say that person I say these people and I
can go out in the room of 10,000 people
and deliver for 50 hours and I do it
every time I come back onstage it’s a
ritual a ritual to go into peak stay
Peaks they don’t just show up it’ll be
interrupt you great ideas doing the
laughter you got to pursue them I talked
to Michael Jordan I’ll never forget dad
the peak of his career and got to watch
his final game
so I’m backstage and spend some time
with them and there’s pretty exciting
time is greatest basketball player and I
think that ever lived and has ever lived
and I asked them I said you know what
sets you apart Michael you know what is
it and is it god-given talent ability
skill what is it Mesa tell me you know
he said I can shoot you straight you
know it’s not you know me trying to act
humble he goes I have a lot of town a
lot of god-given talent lot of skill
I’ve worked really hard but he said
really it’s my standards he said every
day I demand more for myself than
anybody else could humanly expect I’m
not competing with somebody else I’m
competing with well I’m capable of hmm
magic formula because most of us lower
our standards why because who you spend
time with my friends is who do you
become one of the biggest reasons I
started go to seminars when I was like
17 is I had nobody around me as a great
role model I can read about somebody but
being around people being in that
environment was very different finding
way to go to work with someone who lived
that standard of life was very different
you get around people at low standards
and you compete with it you don’t need
to compete with it it’s like okay I mean
remember Jerry Springer I know if he’s
still in the air but you know I’ve never
used to get people on the show I thought
where would he find these people watch
they watch these people go my wife’s
know pretty darn good can hear that
person look at them you don’t have to
change your life all you have to just
find somebody with a lower standard
you’ll feel good about yourself but if
you feel that good feeling it’s an
illusion the only thing that’s gonna
make you happy my friend and this year
or any other is to step up it’s to raise
the standard it’s to discover what
you’re capable of and feel that
incredible power of pushing through
whatever is holding you back and get to
the other side of more of your true self
that’s what this games all about and
look at the best of the world anything
Tiger Woods what’s what’s his vision to
win golf tournaments no to be the best
that ever lived that’s his goal that’s
his vision but here’s what’s interesting
he backs it up with rituals if you just
have a vision and you don’t have the
rituals stop lying to yourself his
rituals are he started doing things
nobody did before he went started
lifting weights golfers lifting weights
no way he went out and he changed his
swing
when he was the best in the world
because he realized already be the best
that ever lived he didn’t have to change
his swing if you don’t about golf you
don’t change your swing when you’re the
best and he went and retrained himself
because he has different rituals and
other golfers now many people are
modeling his rituals to get better it’s
amazing you know you look at somebody
like Michael Phelps the 2008 swimmer won
seven you know only two people I think
in history if I remember correctly that
have gotten seven gold medals in one
session and here’s the guy he’s got
number six centers belt he’s exhausted
and he’s going in for that final swim
I’m sure you remember and how does the
guy win by one hundredths of a second do
you think that was some massive skill
that got him over the top or was it a
standard that says this is Who I am I am
the champion and no one is taking this
from me and somehow in those finals
milliseconds hundredth of a second he
pushed himself just beyond his
competitor but you know how about
Michael Phelps what allow them be able
push beyond that moment is this rituals
go steady the guy most people who swim
have these unbelievable workouts he does
two and three of the workout sessions a
day all the other swimmers in the
beginning thought he was insane
he didn’t over train you can’t do that
it’s not physically possible but he had
a standard and the rituals to back it up
so here’s my final message to you
because I’ve gotten carried away I was
gonna send you like a five-minute
message but you can see there’s no
script here it’s just me gonna go crazy
with you but I want to really see you
get what you want this year don’t let
this year be like last and if last year
was great still don’t let it be that way
raise the standard your life is perfect
and extraordinary you darn well know
you’re not gonna be happy unless you
keep making it better that’s what makes
us feel alive it’s not what we get to
make us happy it’s who we become and
what we’re able to give because we’ve
become more that sense of contribution
is what creates the deepest meaning so
here’s my assignment for if you want one
if you want to go from conversation to
some action your simple thing to do
what’s an area your life right now that
you really want improve well it’s an
area that’s important to improve it’s
your body’s great how about your career
careers great how about your
relationship intimate one especially or
your kids or your relationship with your
Creator spiritual side of your life
or is it your finances figure an area
that really matters decide on that area
number one write down what your life is
like in that area right now specifically
as possible so you might say well I’m
13.5 pounds overweight you know whatever
the weight is whatever the situation is
or my body fats like this or I’m wake up
exhausted in the morning and you write
the truth of where you are right now
so you’re real clear or I’m not in a
relationship I say I want a relationship
but I I’m not in one I don’t seem to
find them all the good ones seem to be
gone is my belief you know and I really
do want one but I don’t have it whatever
your definition well I’m in a
relationship and god I wish I wasn’t in
a relationship I’m planning my escape
wherever you are or I have a wonderful
relationship we’d love each other but
there just isn’t enough passion just
right the truth of where you are the
area you want to change what right how
it is and then the second step is that’s
where you got to be really honest with
yourself what are the rituals that have
put me there because whatever results
you’re getting even if you don’t like
the results there’s some rituals that
are keeping you in that place there’s
some rituals of what you eat or don’t
eat how you move or don’t move how you
sleep or don’t sleep there’s some
rituals and the lack of variety or spice
or energy or focus in an area there’s
something you’re doing and it’s usually
not one thing it’s a bunch of little
things they kind of do consistently
whatever you think about getting in a
relationship whatever you think about
working out whenever you think about
money and get yourself in a state of
overwhelm you start thinking about all
the things you can’t control just write
down all the rituals you have and then
here’s the third step what do you want
what’s your vision and be really
specific I’m gonna be my fighting weight
I want to be the strongest I’ve ever
felt I want to be I’m gonna turn my act
whatever it is be specific and then last
step number four what are the rituals
that will get you there what would you
need it differently each morning if
you’re going to be that kind of energy
that kind of strength how would you have
to often would you work out what days
would you work out what time a ritual is
something you do consistently usually at
a specific time so becomes automatic let
me tell you something willpower doesn’t
last
but rituals can last a lifetime I bet
you have some rituals in your life right
now you’ve been doing for years even
though some of them don’t serve you
I’m just saying wake yourself up
if you want a new year and a new life
you don’t they need to start in January
first start today start with this little
video and just begin to see what happens
and see how easy it is to just do a few
little rituals don’t do them all just do
two or three new things and you know
what happens you’ll get momentum because
once you discipline yourself in one area
life you feel yourself doing in other
areas as well I always say something
that my original teacher taught me I
always remind people there’s always two
pains in life there’s the pain of
discipline or is the pain of regret and
discipline weighs ounces as my friend
Jim Rohn taught me regret weighs tons
you don’t have regret so right now what
do you want to change what’s it really
like one of the rituals that got you
there that will take a little homework
if you’re not sure ask the people around
you they’ll tell you what your rituals
are what do I really want in depth where
the rituals that will get me there and
then get yourself to start a few of
those actions and lock them in place so
I can help you in any way we’re here as
a company to support you to come and
have an event with us come to unleash
the power within or master university or
get a coach you can get a free coaching
session if you call our company and
click on something on this we’ll
probably have something on it or get a
product or don’t do anything with us but
do something with somebody starting with
you if you make the change in yourself
you’re gonna be proud this year and no
amount of money or accolades other
people can mirror the feeling of being
proud of knowing you taking back control
of your life or you’ve taken a great
life to another level as once you do
that you have something you can give
other people it’ll be your kids or your
friends or your family and ultimate
that’s why it’s about
