[Music] hi it's Tony Robbins happy New Year listen how's your New Year coming out so far I know it's early it's January 15th and I thought I'd send you out this little video message because you know what that day means don't you January 15th is the cut off statistics show that 95% of the people that actually made a New Year's resolution have already broken it by today and that's if you even made a resolution now if you're the exception to that I'm thrilled for you and I support you and I say keep rocking it but
if you've missed maybe I could drop you a quick little message or two here that can help you not only recover but get Way Beyond just making some New Year's resolution and make some real lasting change in your life I mean think about it most people don't even make a resolution anymore why because they've made them from years and years and years and they know they're not going to follow through so after a while while who wants to disappoint yourself who wants to be upset with yourself why even bother to set a new standard for
this year you know it's going to be the same as last year if you're the kind of person watching this right now and you've actually opened this email and you haven't shut me off already then obviously that's not you so the question is you know what is it that makes us even want to make a resolution I mean it's interesting question why is it at the beginning of the year we have this tradition but it goes beyond tradition it's something inside of us that makes us want to make things better and I think part of
it is the calendar gives us this idea that we could have a fresh start that we could start from fresh and have this great Victory and it's really the calendar itself is quite arbitrary it's wonderful to use it but if you didn't use it effectively let's use the calendar to serve you today let's just see what does it really take to make this thing happen because there's no denying that inside of you the only thing that's going to make you happy and the year ahead and the decades ahead is going to be having you of
an experience where on a regular basis you feel like your life is making progress if there's one thing I teach and I want to remind you of it it's really simple things getting things is not going to 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 going to stay exciting so the SE secret to real happiness is progress progress equals happiness and if we can make progress on a regular basis we feel alive and that's why 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 could 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 now well I'm working on changing don't worry about it you don't have to work on changing change is automatic your body's going to change whether you want it or not as the years go by no matter how hard you work there's going to be some changes going on there the economy is going to change no matter what you want it to do the weather is going to change relationships are going to change everything in life is always changing we don't 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 got to say I got to take control of this process and not just hope it's going to 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 resolve this is how it's going to 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 you burn the boats cuz when you burn those boats there's no going back you're going to 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 because 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 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 are most people's New Year's resolutions I'm going to
stop eating sugar you know I'm going to stop smoking I'm going to lose 10 pounds problem with that is it's not very inspiring for most people you know it's not telling you what you're going to get it's only what you're not going to 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
X number of pounds that's okay but it's not very compelling it has to be a compelling Vision it's got to 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 you desire so much that you have a hard time going to sleep at night you get so up early in the morning to rock it and take it to the next level that's what
you're looking to create that isn't easy to get but one of the reasons we do seminars and events and we say 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're with people that are being put in a peak State like when you're going to a sporting event if you watch a 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 and we
feel that and the bottom line of our follow-through comes down to our emotional intensity in a different state of mind you're going to come up with a much better and a more exciting Vision than if you're sitting on the couch going okay what are my new resolutions for this year and you're doing it the morning after the new year is started and you're a little inebriated and the football games on in the background probably not going to have the power of focus there probably not going to have the power of the energy to create something
that's going to 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 going to be a gift to make sure that it happens and also along with that compelling Vision you got to have strong enough reasons that you're going to follow through when 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 going to 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 going to 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 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 this is going to cost me and if I do do this this this is what I'm going to gain in my life reasons come first answers come second if you get a compelling vision and you got strong enough reasons that will push you through the tough times you're going to 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 make the change make things happen and I know you've done this in many areas of your life just think about it again I'm 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 got to go through a simple process fundamentally to make that progress First Step Vision that's compelling Second Step make sure that there're strong enough reasons to follow through third step you 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 you had such a hunger for it that you couldn't stop thinking about it could have 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 want to you just wanted something and you didn't even know how
to get it but it was so compelling to you you kept thinking about it every day envisioning it imagining it feeling it and then stuff happened and suddenly you started to 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 with so much intensity in emotions so often that it sensitize you to notice anything that could get you there there's a part of your brain called the reticular activating system for shortly call it
the ra 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 and there's strong enough reasons and you review it enough and it becomes a part of you that part of your brain says anything that relates to this I need to notice it's like did you buy a certain kind of car or maybe a certain outfit and suddenly you see that car everywhere those outfits everywhere you know the cars were always around but why do you
see it now cuz your RIS 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 and you're reviewing 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 until to notice that they broke what they said they really want to have make happen because 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 going to have lasting change in anything you're really talking about just raising your standards I mean tell people if you want to know how to change your life and give it to you in three words
boring as it sounds raise your standards now what does that mean cornes and sounds raise your standards oh thank you for the Breakthrough thought Tony I'm glad I wasted my time watching this little email with you but think about it lasting change is different than a goal you don't always get your goals but you always get your standards maybe it'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 musts they don't get their shs
like think about it most people have a list of shs don't they don't you 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 sh list be 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 of the time it's a little disappointing but you kind of know it's not going to happen but when you decide something is a must for you an absolute must when you cut off any possible you say I'm going to find the way or I'm going to make the way human beings when they resolve things and they 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 haven't you had some area of your life
where you raised your standard and your life is never been the same maybe at one time in your life you smoked cigarettes or you 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 and 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 can think of again did you ever smoke cigarettes did you ever 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 when we make something a must we attach ourselves to it it becomes part of our identity and one thing I've learned in the last gosh 33 years are working with people from now over
100 countries 4 million people is human beings absolutely follow through on who they believe they are if you said said to me well I'm really going to 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 going to 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 going to be crazy and act nuts unless you're really drunk or something and then you can say it's the alcohol when it's really just you find and 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 it'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 young 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 a corny metaphor but it's true I remember one time I was with my family at the circus and there was a person there and they had this big giant elephant and you look at this elephant and they take this little rope put it around the elephant's neck and they drive this steak into the ground and I mean you look at this and 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 cuz the elephant's conditioned and they take that elephant condition 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 steak in the ground and the Elephant fights and fights and fights and one day finally that elephant decides I'm not capable of pulling this 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 and ask yourself when did I decide to accept that limit ation and you may not even see it as a limitation you might see it as just that's who I am but so often in 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 to do things spontaneously without think thinking cuz 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 know shoulds versus musts think about your own life I know there have been areas in your life where some point in time you just shifted and you raised the standard and your life changed 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 is necessary to maintain that identity again the strongest force in the human personalities this need to stay consistent with how we Define ourselves cuz if you don't know who you are you would know how to act once you lock in on that identity your brain finds a way to keep you there if you say uh you know man I
I'm overweight I've always been overweight I'm big boned and that's the story you got then you're going to always find a way to get back there that's your settling Point that's your identity that's where things lock in if you see somebody who's in really great shape you ask them 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 I'll ask people who here works out at least 5 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 because you can see their body you don't just get a result without some kind of action without some form of ritual ritual means any actions you do consistently now do you think of those people that are out there working out 5 days a week do they have more time than you do or I have or anybody else of course not is their life less busy of course not it's just a must for them they must work out that way and they've made that turn
and their life changed so I'm not saying you have to work out 5 days a week I'm just saying whatever you really want wants don't get met consistently standards do whatever you Iden this is who I am and so it's not so much about changing your identity as is expanding it you know deciding that you know instead of your goals to lose 10 lbs 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 going to transform my body
I'm going to take on a new challenge I'm going to find some technique or strategy there's a million of them that can reframe myself where I want to feel younger stronger 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 want to go in front of the mirror and if I'm naked not you know want to laugh I want to look there and take a good look and go yeah I'm
proud of whatever I see there whatever it takes something's going to make you laugh smile something's going to tease yourself but something's going to move you to another level if you identify yourself in a new way and you own that every day and that becomes the standard of how you live you'll find the way to make that standard real money's the same way think about it 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 a 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 know some people may be in a family where they don't have enough money they barely have
money to pay their bills they work their 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 pay their bills they never could do it before why the situ situation made them raise their own standard and not everybody does that somebody else in the family might have money and still not 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 the Dynamics of what shapes you and identity is one of those simple clear fundamental Basics that if you start start to shift it everything else will shift in your life as well some people by the way have to 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 if that's their must they find a way I know that sounds overly simplistic but it's true you know somebody once said you can take all the money in the world out of the hands of everybody out of all the wealthy people in the world who are really successful give it to other people it wouldn't take too long those people would have it back in their hands it's not because they're manipulative it's because they have a standard some are manipulative don't get me wrong but they got a standard of
what they're going to 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 your stand okay I'm going to go make this happen I'm going to go make this much money I'm going to transform my kids I'm going to create the ultimate relationship of my life I'm going to 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 are where the power is whenever we do our Robins results coaching and we say Robins equals results the way we get results with people it's the same way if you listen to uh my Ultimate Edge program or 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 to little bite siiz 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 went through Ultimate Edge I'm sure you learned 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 something 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 doesn't matter how you feel you put on your shoes you lace them 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 off you go in and get your mocha smoka whatever you know special coffee you stop by at Starbucks whatever the case may be 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 in how you come home than if you have a lousy relationship when you come 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 what are the rituals whenever I study people that are successful what I look for is what's the standard they holds 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 it may look that way but failure comes from all the little things it's faure to make the call it's failure to check the books it's failure to say I'm sorry it's 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 event 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 it compelling success is really seeing it feeling it every day with strong enough 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'll 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 more 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 in business it comes from delivering more than anybody could imagine all those little things that 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 who's really successful you think wow I mean they're they're so amazing they're such a genius you got to dig underneath you got to remember something people are rewarded in public for what they've practiced for years in private myself and my business people say how do you get up and speak and you have no notes and you go for three days and nights and the room is like everybody's wired and it's incredible it's like a rock concert how do you do that how do you have that confidence well 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 out on stage you to this day wouldn't need to do it but I still do it I never walk out there without being in an absolute Peak state of mind you know there are days my back is hurting my throat was hurting or I may have had a challenge or my father passed away and I've still got to deliver
for these people cuz my standard is give my all every time every event has to be better talk to anybody who's been to our events for 5 10 years some of our trainers and say I don't know he does it he always finds a way to make it better that's not an eagle 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 I have this little ritual to put myself in a state of mind and I did it starting 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 body and I'd say I Now command my subconscious mind to direct me in 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 out with a person when I worked with people want and one 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 time I come back on stage it's a ritual a ritual to go into
Peak State Peak states don't just show up they don't interrupt you great ideas don't interrupt you you got to pursue them I talked to Michael Jordan I'll never forget the peak of his career and got to watch his final game saw him backstage and spent some time with him and it was a pretty exciting time he was greatest basketball player I think that ever lived and has ever lived and I asked him 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
he said Tony 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 talent a lot of god-given talent a lot of skill I 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 what I'm capable of H magic formula because most of us lower our standards why because who you spend time with my friends is who
you become one of the biggest reasons I started going 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 a way to go to work with someone who lived that standard of life was very different you get around people with 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 don't know if he's still in the air but you
know I remember used to get people on those show and I thought where would he find these people and why would people watch while they watch they watch these people go my life still pretty darn good compared to that person look at them you don't have to change your life all you have to do is 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 going to 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's holding you back and get to the other side of more of your true self that's what this game's all about and look at the best of the world in 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 in order to be the best that ever lived he's going to have to change his swing if you know anything about golf you don't change your swing when you're the best and he went and retrained himself because he has different rituals than 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 a guy he's got number six under his belt and he's exhausted and he's going in for that final swim I'm sure you remember and how does the guy win by 100th 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 final milliseconds hundredth of a second he pushed himself just being Beyond his competitor but you know about Michael Phelps what allowed him to be able to push beyond that moment is his rituals go study 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 you're can overtrain 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 cuz I've gotten carried away I thought I was going to send you like a five minute message but you can see there's no script here just me going a little 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 no let it be that way raise the standard if your life is perfect and extraordinary you darn well know you're not going to be happy unless
you keep making it better that's what makes us feel alive it's not what we get that make us happy it's who we become and what we're able to give because we 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 here's a simple thing to do what's an area of your life right now that you really want to improve what's an area that's important to improve your body's great how about your career career is great
how about your relationships 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 lbs overweight you know whatever the weight is whatever the situation is or my body fats like this or I'm I 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 and I don't seem to find them all the good ones seem to be gone is my belief you know and I and I really do want one but I don't have it whatever your definition 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 love each other but there just isn't enough passion just write the truth of where you are
the area you want to change but write how it is and then the second step is this 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 in 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 that you kind of do consistently whenever you think about getting in a relationship whenever you think about working out whenever you think about money you get yourself in a state of overwhelm you start thinking about all 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 spefic I want to be my fighting weight I want to be the strongest I've ever felt I want to
be I'm going to turn my whatever it is be specific and then last step number four what are the rituals that'll get you there what would you need to do differently each morning if you're going to be that kind of energy that kind of strength how would you have to how 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 it becomes automatic let me tell you something will power 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 make if you want a new year and a new life you don't need to start in January 1st 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 cuz once you discipline yourself in one area
of your 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 Ron taught me regret weighs tons you don't have regret so right now what do you want to change what's it really like what are 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 what are the rituals that will get me there and then get get yourself to start a few of those actions and lock them in place if I can help you in any way we're here as a company to support you come 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 will'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 changes in yourself you're going to be proud this year and no amount of money or accolades from other people can mirror the feeling of being proud of knowing you've taken back control of your life or you've taken a great life to another level cuz once you do that you have something you can give other people whether it be your kids or your friends or your family and ultimately that's what life's about so thanks for listening I don't know
how long I went here but hope this has been helpful for you I just thought it's a new year and I want people to be able to truly create a new life and uh till I see you again hopefully some soon or gets a chance to meet you live strong and live with passion and of course God bless to you Happy New Year w
