these things in your life and ask this question. Why now? You need activation

energy to start the chain. To start to sit down. To start to get out of bed, to

start to walk out the door, that's the key to creating any kind of change. This

activation energy inside of you that causes the initial BOOM and then what do

we hear over time? Once you start there's a chain reaction and that allows you to

keep going. You have to act on your passion, you have

to act on your inner drive. Don't let those feelings stay inside you. You've

got to know what to do with them, you got to know how to make them work, in order

to get what you want. Don't keep it inside. 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. Where do you start? You start right here and when do you start?

You start right now.

Everybody at one point in time in your life, to be successful, you have to jump.

Jumping is the hardest thing for people to do but you have to jump. If you

never jump you'll never be successful.

When you first jump I guarantee you the parachute ain't gonna open.

I promise you that but guess what eventually it does open and then you

start your glide but it starts with the jump. You have to jump man. No matter how

painful it is, I got to keep going and I got to keep going because what is my

passion, what is my focus? Your focus and your passion will numb you to failure

and to pain of striving to get to where you're trying to go. I don't accept that

I am what I am and that, that is what I'm doomed to be. No. I don't accept that. I'm

fighting. I'm always fighting. I'm struggling and I'm scrapping and kicking

and clawing at those weaknesses to change them, to stop them.

Some days I win.

Some days I don't but each and every day I get back up and I move forward with my

fists clenched toward the battle, toward the struggle and I fight with everything

I've got to overcome those weaknesses and those

shortfalls and those flaws.

So literally without goals you're directionless. You will be used. People

without goals get used by other people who have them. People that don't have

goals work for people who do and so you want to be someone who picks up and gets

clear about what you want. Make a list, 101 goals. I want to go to

Paris, I want to you know skydive, I want to bungee cord jump, I want to play the

guitar, I want to learn to juggle, I want to learn two magic tricks for the kids, I

want to go to the Olympics in Beijing. Whatever it is, make the list. You have to

delete all the negativity in the world and focus on things that make it feel

great. So you could focus on a relationship you have, you could focus on

how much you've already learned in the last six or seven or eight days, you

could focus on the people that love you, you could focus on your ability as a human

being to change your life at any moment in time. You have to be crazy in

believing what your goal and your passion is because when something is

crazy even though it's crazy you still do it, right? Every single person is designed

from infancy with special talents and abilities that if you develop them to

their height can enable you to accomplish anything you want in life.

Everyone is genetically structured to be able to do something superbly, to do

something they enjoy, to do it well and to get great satisfaction from it.

There is no capability difference between you and someone you consider to

be an ultimate role model of success. The only difference is they've learned to use

their mind and body with more power on a consistent basis. They've learned to

manager their state, they've learned to use their body effectively, whether they know

it or not consciously doesn't matter. A lot of people do things without being

aware of how they do it and they learn to control their mental focus. Remember

whatever we concentrate our focus on consistently and strive to learn from and

make new distinctions about we will get great at. I want to reassure you that you

can do it. I want you to reassure you that you can make the decisions. I want to

reassure you that no matter what the night, no matter what the storm, no matter

what the difficulty there isn't anybody here that can't figure it out, find some

things to do, step at a time, yes, minute at a time, yes, day at a time, yes, week at

a time, yes, but there isn't anything you can't walk away from, there isn't any

challenge you can't overcome. I want you to have that kind of belief in your self.

You've got to believe in yourself. You just have to and then you do it. You see

it, you believe it and then you do it.

The hard part is getting over it in the beginning. Three weeks it's a habit, it

would be ingrained in your central nervous system if you do this every day

for three weeks. Studies, studies show this. The first hardest part are the first

five days. Once you do that, once you get over that things become really much

easier for you and then you're on this path towards greatness, the anxiety goes

away, the fear goes away, the stress goes away, the hardest part about getting a

ship moving is the beginning. That's where like the NASA shuttles, the most

fuel is used in that launch. That's where the most energy and effort is required

and we get caught up in the trap thinking that, that's the energy required

and the effort required throughout the entire process and that's not the truth.

You will adapt. It will be easier for you but it's a matter of getting over that

fear in the beginning to then get to that point where it's ingrained in your

central nervous system then you're on autopilot like if you ever wrote a paper

for school before and it's really hard in the beginning, you're procrastinating

procrastinating, procrastinating and you just put it off and then it's like the

night before or something that it's due and then you just like sit yourself down

and do it and the first 15 minutes it's like writer's block, it's hard and then

you break through and then it's like you're on autopilot after a while and

it's like where are these thoughts coming it's just unbelievable how the

brain works and you're like, you're writing million miles a minute it's like

thoughts that you never even thought of before are just coming out. I know this has

happened to you and then you have to almost pull yourself away because you

have to go to bed to get some sleep because you're just like on this path

and that's how life is. Once you get involved in something it just goes on

autopilot to where you start thinking of like really elaborate stuff, higher-level

stuff that beginner people who are outside do not experience, do not, so

from the outside they look at these successful people and they're like how

do they do this? I don't understand how they're able to do this and of course

you don't because you never immersed yourself in that process but once you

immerse yourself in that process you could do it too. They are not made of something

different, as different as you think they are. They're flesh and blood like you but

life is more about conditioning and habitual routines and stepping outside this

comfort zone then it is about genetics. You have a genetic anomaly, no question

and you may be endowed with certain gifts and qualities but I guarantee you that many

successful people wish they had qualities that you have because no one's

perfect in this world everyone is imperfect, right but you can't

be on this quest to be perfect. You are imperfect so the quest is not to be

perfect, you will never get there. If that's your goal you will fail in that goal. The

quest is to be the best you and the only way to be the best view is to

break through your fears because that is the brick wall to your comfort zone and

if you break down that brick wall, that comfort zone just expands. Expands

and it knows no bounds so literally everything on this planet could be

within your comfort if you choose to break down those walls. You have your goals in

life, your dreams, all these different pursuits and instead of just starting

you know, just taking step by step taking action, you kind of just sit on the

sidelines, you know, you wait for a contract or a guarantee of success. You

want this game plan or this map of every single step you're going to have to take

when you're going to have to take the,m what kind of step to take, so it's very

predictable and it's very safe, you know, you want to see it all you're like okay I don't just

want to jump in, you know to this uncertainty, into the unknown, I want to know, you know, I'm going to do this and then this is going to

happen and then I'm going to do this and you're stuck in this painful emotional

state, you know, you're in limbo instead of progressing or expanding you're always

doubting yourself. That burns you up inside the fact that you're not progressing

you're killing your purpose in life, let's just say your course and purpose

in life you're just putting it on hold and it just gets worse and worse. You know

because you hear it like hey have a logical game plan for every single step of the

way. Plan, very, you know, careful so you don't

get into these, like pitfalls and the reason it's bad is, as I mentioned before, it's

never going to happen. Okay, we live in a world that is changing so fast that this

long-term precise vision it doesn't exist, okay?

Not a single person I know can look into the future, say a year, two years, three

four, five years ahead and know exactly all the different things that are going to

happen and how he's going to achieve his goal. Everyone of course has a general vision and you

should have that, like hey I want to be in this position here and continuously focus

on that but along the way you're going to encounter many obstacles and a lot of them you

just can't predict. They're just going to blow up in your face and if you're just

waiting to be sure that every single step is there, you're done. Okay on top of that too, guess what

you're going to be psyched out. You're gonna be like oh my God there are all

these steps to take and you're just never going to do it

because it's overwhelming. Just do the first step. Even if you don't really know where

the next one's going to be, just start now and on one hand it's realistic and it's not too

overwhelming you know whatever it is you're trying to pursue there is

something you can do right now even as you're watching this video, you

can probably pause this video and do something that'll kind of kickstart you

in the right direction. You won't get overwhelmed and guess what it's going to

start building momentum okay and this is key every single step of the way it's a

little easier to the next step and the next step and the next step and the next

step and then they just get bigger and bigger and bigger and it becomes easier

and easier and easier. Do you know what makes them more successful? Do you?

Three things, three things will make you successful. A continuous interest in

improving yourself, being self-aware and work and I mean lots of it. Improve

yourself. Improve yourself continuously, never stop developing yourself, develop a

passion for improving yourself, develop a passion for learning, improving yourself

begins right where you are. Yes, improving yourself starts with an

education, improving yourself starts with school. You did not come to school to

slack off, you did not come to fail instead you came to learn, to learn how

to be great, to be the best leader, to be the best academic, to be the best at

whatever you want to do. Don't let your friends deter you, don't let friends

distract you, develop yourself. Show them that there is better, show them that

you're different, improve yourself study hard, study long, give your all give

it everything you got.

Successful people don't get to where they are by following their friends or

pleasing them instead they lead. They lead and committ themselves to

self-development, they exercise their mind, they learn, they study, they pass

their exams.

Nobody will do it for you, only you can do it for yourself, only you can put in

the work. If you're not prepared if you do not work you will lose you will never

win, you will always be behind and you will never be great. To be successful at

anything you have to get to know yourself, you have to know who you are

you have to know what your strengths are you have to know what your weaknesses are

you have to get to know what you like what you don't like, what you're good at

and what you're not good at, what your learning styles are, where you study best

learning about yourself will build your confidence, it will change your

behavior, studying will become easier passing your exams will become easier, it

will get you places where you've never gone before. Getting to those places and

standing there will take determination, it will require that you never give up

never give up on your dreams, never give up on your goals, life will throw things

at you, teachers will throw exams at you. No one

promised that life will be easy, what is promised is that you can do it. You can do

it, you can win, you can pass your exams you can be the best, you can achieve your

goals, you can become whatever you desire to become but you have to be determined
