  • ♪♪♪

  • Tick!

  • Tock!

  • Tick!

  • Tock!

  • We've all heard the sound of a clock

  • Have you ever stopped to think about what it means?

  • There are two fixed points in your life...

  • Birth

  • and Death

  • And what happens in between that's under your control,

  • it's the only thing under your control

  • ♪♪♪

  • Now, we have no idea what the distance between birth and death is going to be.

  • And you've heard the story so many times

  • Somebody gets really bad news, they find out they've got life threatening cancer,

  • they've only got a few months to live, they quit their job, sell all their possessions

  • and go volunteering in a far-off country

  • giving back to other people, spending time with the people important to them

  • and spending time doing the things that really matter the most.

  • So, why is it that we wait for such a massive moment for us to take massive action?

  • What if you could change everything today?

  • What if you could change everything in an instant? Right now

  • Watching this video on YouTube, on your phone or your laptop, or wherever you are.

  • What if change could happen?

  • I don't care how good you are, I don't care how talented you are,

  • I don't care how much you work on yourself,

  • there are some times when things aren't going to go right

  • They're just not going to go right

  • There are times where anything that can happen, will happen

  • Murphy's Law will be knocking at your door

  • Why? I don't know why, that's called life

  • and you have to deal with it

  • Sometimes your life will be in a slump

  • just like sports,

  • some of the best shooters can't hit baskets in different times and games,

  • they get in a slump. Do they sit on the sidelines and say: "you know I just didn't hit a basket today

  • No!

  • They continue to execute

  • I suggest to you that if you are facing a challenge...

  • Don't stop

  • Stay busy, work your plan, continue to do those things that you know that work for you

  • after you have evaluated yourself in the situation,

  • continue to move, stay busy, stay busy, stay busy,

  • repeat after to me: "help somebody

  • and help yourself

  • because what you give is what you get"

  • Find somebody that you can help so you can forget about you for a moment.

  • See, sometimes the best thing to do is to be

  • Sometimes you have to just back up and go within yourself

  • And I think there's a simple thing that you need,

  • that we hear again and again in these motivational speeches,

  • and it's a simple word

  • but it's misunderstood

  • and it's "Belief"

  • If you're going to really change,

  • the first thing that you have to move from an opinion to a belief,

  • and a belief into a conviction is that

  • You are the one that can change,

  • you are the one that is responsible for who you are,

  • where you are in life right now,

  • the things that you do, the things that you don't do,

  • that you know that you should,

  • the things that you have become,

  • the person that you've become,

  • and as a result the things that you have.

  • And there's all kinds of things going on right now,

  • there's all kinds of thoughts going on right now,

  • there's all kinds of feeling but amidst all of those things,

  • amidst the sea of confusion that you might feel

  • Let me ask you a very simple question, a very basic question:

  • Do you believe that you have the power to change?

  • ♪♪♪

  • ♪♪♪

  • Time is all we have

  • This moment

  • Right now

  • ♪♪♪

  • There's only one thing in our lives that we're never able to reacquire once it's gone,

  • and I'm not talking about money, I'm not talking about material items,

  • I'm talking about time

  • And it's such a unique concept, a unique idea,

  • because when utilized correctly, it contains the ingredients to success,

  • to happiness, to growth, prosperity all the things we want,

  • but at the very same time, if neglected it leaves us with very little.

  • Because the truth is every morning when you wake up

  • you are living minutes you will never get back,

  • you are breathing air you will never take in again,

  • it is your one opportunity to embrace this gift,

  • and every second sees a little of it slip away.

  • And my point is that there is no moment more important, more perfect, than right now,

  • not in a week, not after your promotion, not in 30 years when you plan to retire and relax.

  • Right now

  • See, we have this mentality that the future is going to somehow mean more than the present,

  • that if we suffer now, or if we're unhappy now,

  • that will save the best in life for some other time.

  • But the reality is we don't get younger

  • Yes! We should be working hard, absolutely, success comes from effort,

  • hard work, dedication, persistence, but the key is

  • Allocate your precious time to the work, to the things that make you feel like today is powerful,

  • that right now is so amazing you don't want it to end.

  • Today is when you take the first step towards the things you want

  • When you become who you want to become

  • No one is ever or will ever keep you from that

  • other than yourself

  • There is no ceiling, there is no limitation, there is no special requirement,

  • there is you and what you allow yourself to accomplish,

  • you are the gatekeeper, you have your foot on the gas pedal.

  • And it's so easy to point to others, right?

  • To point to our environment, to blame things on everything,

  • but our own decision, our decision to stick to the status quo,

  • because believe it or not, it is that simple

  • you are where you are because that's where you decided to be,

  • and you've accepted that as okay

  • Look, if you want change, then manufacture change,

  • create a plan and move, go, transform, step out of your head and into the real world.

  • Think about how lucky we are,

  • to be alive in this day and age with access to all the information we can ever dream of,

  • technology that enables growth, freedom to pursue any path that looks appealing,

  • anything we could ever want is right in front of us.

  • Yet we don't embrace it. Why?

  • Why in the world would we let that be?

  • Nothing is more important in life than living it,

  • nothing makes us feel more energized, more free, more happy

  • than following the path we were meant to take.

  • It's having the courage to step over the obstacles,

  • to face the challenges, to be uncomfortable

  • And at the beginning it's tough, right?

  • Change is tough, getting what you want isn't easy

  • there's a period of struggle, of growth, but once you get through it

  • You understand what living really is!

  • Which brings us right back to the concept of time,

  • our small existence on this planet, the greatest gift a human being can receive,

  • you by default have it

  • Don't ever let it be in vain

  • The future isn't when happiness someday occurs,

  • it's a continuation of you living every moment to the fullest, from now until your last,

  • make every trip around the Sun better than the previous,

  • never let a moment of sunshine, clouds or rain, deprive you of your gift.

  • Be the best version of yourself you can be

  • Live the life you're meant to live

  • All it takes is a simple decision!

  • ♪♪♪

  • So, when you imagine the change that you want to create in your life, the person

  • that you know you want to be, that you should be,

  • based on the resources and ideas that you have.

  • What is stopping you

  • What's stopping you from waking up early?

  • What's stopping you from creating good habits?

  • What's stopping you from cutting people out of your life that you know no longer serve you?

  • That clock it's always ticking

  • And one day it won't

  • You'll be met with silence

  • And this journey it will end

  • And at that moment,

  • when people look at your gravestone, when they come to your funeral

  • What is it that you want them to remember you for?

  • What kind of impact and legacy do you want to leave behind through the lesson that is your life?

  • And are you really living that lesson every single day?

  • Stop waiting for tomorrow, stop waiting for the perfect moment

  • And start now

  • Start believing

  • Start dreaming

  • And create the life and the person that you really want to see.

  • Because like I said at the beginning

  • Tick!

  • Tock!

  • Tick!

  • Tock!
