  • I've had an obsession basically for 30 years and that obsession has been what makes the

  • difference in the quality of people's lives? What's the difference in somebody's life if

  • you look at somebody like those people that you've given everything to. Like all the resources

  • they say they need. You give them not a 100 dollar computer you give them the best computer,

  • you give them love, you give them joy, you were there to comfort them. And then you meet

  • people that have been through ultimate pain. Psychologically, spiritually, sexually, emotionally

  • abused- and not always, but often they become some of the people that contribute the most

  • to society. You may not have the money, but that is not the defining factor. The defining

  • factor is never resources, it's resourcefulness. We can get ourselves to do anything, we can

  • get through- if you're creative enough, playful enough, fun enough, can you get through to

  • anybody, yes or no? What determines your resources, we've said decisions shape destiny, which

  • is my focus here. If decisions shape destiny, what determines it is 3 decisions, what are

  • you going to focus on? The minute you decide to focus on something, you got to give it

  • a meaning. An emotion then creates what we're gonna do or the action. In the last 5 or 10

  • years, 15 years, haven't there have been some decisions you've made that if you'd made a

  • different decision, your life would be completely different? Or being in a position like Lance

  • Armstrong and someone says to you you've got testicular cancer, but what was his decision

  • what to focus on? What did it mean? It wasn't the end, it was the beginning. What am I gonna

  • do? He goes off and wins seven championships he never won once before the cancer because

  • he got emotional fitness. So, what shapes Lance, what shapes you? #1 State. We all have

  • had times, have you had a time you did something and after you did it you thought to yourself

  • "I can't believe I said that! I can't believe I did that! That was so stupid!" It wasn't

  • your ability, it was your state. Your model of the world is what shapes you long term.

  • And it's made up of 3 points I believe: First, what's your target? What are you after? So,

  • it's needs we have. I believe there are six human needs. Second, once you know what the

  • target that's driving you is and you uncover it, then you find out what's your map. What's

  • the belief systems that are telling you how to get those needs. Some people think the

  • way to get those needs is to destroy the world, some people is to build something, create

  • something, love someone. Six needs, let me tell you what they are. First one, certainty.

  • Everyone needs certainty that they can avoid pain and at least be comfortable. But, while

  • we go for certainty, if we get total certainty we get what? Bored out of your minds! So god,

  • in her infinite wisdom, gave us a second human need which is uncertainty. We need variety.

  • Third human need, critical: Significance. We all need to feel important, special, unique.

  • You can get it by making more money, you can do it by being more spiritual. Here's what

  • we really need: Connection and Love, fourth need. We can do it through intimacy, through

  • friendship. The last two: Number 5 you must grow. If a relationship is not growing, if

  • a business is not growing, if you're not growing, it doesn't matter how much money you have,

  • how many friends you have, you feel like hell! And the reason we grow, I believe is so we

  • have something to give of value. Cause the sixth need is to contribute beyond ourselves.

  • The second piece is the map. Some people's map is I'm going to save lives even if I die

  • for other people and there are firemen, somebody else's is I'm gonna kill people to do it.

  • They're trying to meet the same needs of significance. The last thing is emotion. How many of you

  • know somebody who, no matter what happens find a way to be happy or excited? How of

  • you know somebody like this? Come on! Explore your web, the web in here- the needs, the

  • beliefs, the emotions that are controlling you. For 2 reasons, so there is more of you

  • to give and secondly so you can appreciate what's driving other people. It's the only

  • way our world's gonna change. God bless you, thank you.
