[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hi this is Tony Robbins welcome to get the edge a 7-day program to transform your life your body your emotions your relationships your finances the whole enchilada and I'm here to deliver for you and in the next few days you and I are going to become good friends and It's my privilege to become your coach I thank you for that opportunity I want to start out right up front by telling you that you and I must be kindred souls because you're listening to days just like I did start way back at
17 I never stopped doing it I've never stopped reading I've never stopped learning because I'm always looking for the edge and you must be too not the edge over other people I'm talking about the life advantage the advantage that allows you To see life and feel life from the peak where you experience that joy and that passion that juice for living where your body feels that kind of energy where you wake up in the morning you can't wait to jump out of bed and you don't want to go to bed at night because your life
has so much that you enjoy I want you to experience more of that I'm sure you have some of that or if you don't feel it right now I can promise you you will and I can make that promise not through Hyperbole but I can make the promise because two things are true number one I've done this for 25 years with people from 75 countries with 3 million people and there's nothing you've gone through that I haven't seen and I can show you how to make the shift not because I'm so smart but because I
have to be an idiot this stage not to see that there are patterns in human behavior there are certain things that if you do them you're gonna feel extraordinary and if You do other things you're going to be depressed and frustrated and overwhelmed and all you have to do is see those patterns but most of us don't have that privilege because we're busy spending our life you know making a living and we start out really young we have all these ideas and dreams it's excitement for our life and gradually that wanes doesn't it because after
a while you get disappointed you have some failures quote unquote some frustrations people Tell you hey you know you're a bit naive to think this stuff could work out or lower your expectations and the minute you do that you've lost your life what you have now is life as a job life is something that we go out and we do every day so we can start over and do it again instead of finding that juice that God gave us that unique expression of ourselves that'll touch other people and make us feel like this life has
a greater meaning than just the day-to-day Stuff and so we want to deliver on that in the next seven days that's a big promise but it can happen and the reason I believe it can happen is only because I know my stuff but you know yours if your listen to me right now you're one of the few who do you're not one of those people who settle everybody talks a great game don't they oh yeah yeah I'd like to transform my life sure I'd like to be physically fit and energetic I'd like to have more
time with my kids of Course yes I want to find that ideal person or I want to put the juice back in my relationship you know of course I'd like to do well financially I'd like to be financially free maybe I'll hit the lottery most people got great goals great wishes is what they really have but they have no plan you know hope will not get us what we want if that's all it took we all be rich we'd all be thin we all have the greatest relationships and our kids Would all be perfect you
know we don't feel this incredible connection with God every moment but few people do and it's the few that actually make it their focus and they take action upon it so the fact that you're not just one of those people talking but you took action that's pretty unique you're like me I was willing to buy all these lousy tapes I didn't have the money and I go out and get those things because something inside of me was not willing to settle For less than I could be something excited he knew there was more and I
didn't want to live and despair anymore and I didn't want to be embarrassed about my body and I didn't want to feel like my life didn't have a real purpose and so you're probably not where I was I'm sure you're much further along than I was along that journey maybe you are where I am now which is Joost about my life and you're just looking for that extra advantage those extra little tools That you can tweak things to take it to another level so you can enjoy even more and give even more to the people
around you but I can tell you this I know you can succeed at this because you made it through your pessimism skepticism you know stuff that really kills our faith you know people tell me all the time all I'm skeptic about this kind of stuff you know I'm pessimistic I said no you're gutless you're scared tell the truth you're Afraid to get your hopes up I got it I've been there - you're afraid to get excited about something and have it not work so often that happens but certain things work there are laws of life
if you live them you'll get results if you so you'll reap and the reason they work is because they've been modeled from people that have already made it happen I've spent a quarter of a century with some of the most challenged people in The world happening to turn things around and also some of the greatest leaders leaders of the heart people like Mother Teresa god rest her soul or lady I got to know very well Princess Diana and I'm not telling you this to drop names I'm telling you because I want you to realize I've
had the privilege of connecting with people that uniquely inspired millions I've also been around leaders of the head brilliant brains in science and finance I've coached now for More than seven years on the top financial traders in the world not literally had communication with him every day five days a week for seven years and I've watched him make a half a billion dollars in a day and helped him to coach him through changes along the way not just a pump up and motivation and positive thinking if that's what you want from this that's not what
these seven days are about but strategy step by step things you do to be able to deal With real-life challenges and turn them around and now step by step things you do to make sure you can enjoy the process while you're dealing with those inevitable challenges that we all have in our lives so I know it'll work for you because you didn't just see the stuff you got over your skepticism he said I'm willing to take a chance and more importantly now you're actually listening to it you took the step of listening that's a big
step frankly you Know every journey and this is a journey I promise you a great journey of begun but every journey begins with that first step you know the old adage they say it's overused but it's true and the first step is listening so if you got faith and you got the ability to take action you have the ability to change anything in your life and I don't know where you are right now I don't know if you're in the most challenged time of your life or if you're in the victory Period but wherever you
are it can change with two things consistent focus and consistent action and I can promise you I don't care how big the challenge is you can turn it around you know this stage of my life I'm the guy to get the call when the fire starts you know when all of a sudden the golfer had a six stroke advantage and ended up losing by four strokes on national television I mean you don't want to get back up and go through that again or I get the call When a president is under fire and there's an
impeachment hearing somebody wants some strategy or conversation or a couple isn't it where they're trying to figure out what to do because their son or daughter is suicidal on the positive side you know rock-and-roll group says you know what we're feeling burnout we're succeeding we're doing our best but we're not enjoying it you know you've got the tools here to help us be fulfilled step Up and deliver and it's a blast or I get people stopped me everyday to tell me these great stories of how they change their body or their relationships or their finances
or they started a company or sometimes I get the call just to celebrate I just received a call a few days ago from a man who called me up and said listen I've been using your stuff for years I've got all your seminars listen all your tapes I was struggling like crazy and in seven years I built This company I just sold it for a hundred and twenty million dollars I'd like you to come on my jet and celebrate with me but that's a nice goal right but I've had so many experiences in so many
different countries with so many different kinds of people I mean I've dealt with the kids in the South Bronx addicted to cocaine and I dealt with the top CEOs in Hollywood addicted to cocaine yeah I mean people's challenges are the same no matter where You go in the world whether it's South East London Tasmania or California you're gonna see that human beings are the same we have different beliefs we have different rituals but we have some of the same challenges and the solutions that work for human beings are the same worldwide now initially I took
all the things I've learned from all the people I've worked with and obviously while I was quote-unquote supposedly teaching them I was learning From them I was applying it to myself and I made huge changes in my body and my emotions and my relationships and my finances you know what whenever you make a change you make things better you feel great for a while then pretty soon there's another gap there's a gap between where you are and where you want to be if you're healthy only people that are lying say oh yeah everything's perfect how
long does it stay like that because we always raise our standards Because one of the needs we have as human beings is to grow if you don't grow you die it's not about your body it's not about the money it's not about the weight it's about discovering what you're really capable of and experiencing that feeling of aliveness and you can't have that unless you realize there's a gap so if things are going really great in your business usually you know your kids are not getting enough attention and you feel Bad about it what are you
doing you gotta handle it right or if things are great with your kids you're not taking any time for your own body or you're taking to have your body and you don't have time with your spouse it's the nature of the human being that whatever we focus on will tend to get more of if you focus on problems you'll get more of them if you focus on how to make something better it'll get better if you really act on That focus but we don't usually have a systematic way of looking at each of the areas
of life that are most important in fact most of us focus on things that aren't important we make them too important you know I really believe that people in life are usually stressed simply because they're focusing on things and giving enormous energy things that don't really matter that much you know we we focus on the get all upset have you ever done that I sure I have Myself all the emotion and you know what six months of now you'd only remember it maybe even six days now sometimes an hour from now but you don't take
the time to focus on the things that matter like your body or your relationship or you know what's happening with your kids or your connection with God or hey you know what do I really want for my life instead of keep doing the same stuff over and over and over again and trying to do it more and harder even though You're not fulfilled see most people are afraid to look at what's missing but you know what the moment you can figure out what's missing it won't be missing anymore cuz you can get a system you
can start to focus on it you can start to move towards it and you can achieve anything you put the focus in action into anything anybody else has ever made happen you have the same resources you have the same nervous system some of us are bigger or stronger some of us have More background in one thing greater education but you know what those limits are not the real limits the limits are the limits of our psychology our mindset our beliefs and the feelings we have about them if you believe that this is it this is
the best life's gonna get you're right and if you believe you know what I don't care how bad it's been I don't care how many times I've tried this doesn't work this is gonna do it I'm gonna take action every day until I Find the way you will and all you have to do is look around a life and see the examples of that everywhere it's not people's background that makes them successful if their psychology if their mindset it's do they have a way of consistently focusing on something obsessing about something that's so important to
them and are they willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen versus talk about it see everybody's got a story about why they Can't have what they want and I'm here to tell you the only thing that stops us and I'm not telling you you I've done this so many times so I'm not pointing the finger trust me but the only thing that ever stops us from getting what we really want is the story we have about why we can't happen and we all come up with those stories so part of what we
want to do in the next week it's get rid of the stories come up with the plans that are Proven because they're based on people that have already succeeded at the highest levels and then let you tweak it to your own style you don't be crazy and sane like me I know at times I'm gonna talk too fast I might be a little obnoxious I don't mean to be I really want to serve but I got to do anything I can to get through to you because I really know what's possible if you're at the
top you're not there there's another level and you're not gonna be happy to You find it maybe it's a level of joy you got the other top of the money or you're the top of your career or you're the chairman of the company but there's some new adventure awaiting you and unless you keep finding it life doesn't feel like life feels like a job it feels like something you got to do and there's nothing worse than feeling like you got to do versus you get to do life is it get to and we so often
convinced ourselves it's a god too and we wonder Why we're not so happy so how are we gonna do this well the first way I did this years ago is I created a product called personal power you probably saw it on TV because I obliterated the Airways with it and I was on television every 30 minutes 24 hours a day for more than ten years consistently somewhere in North America the United States or Canada that's an actual statistic and so thirty-five million of my tapes and CDs went out there and people use them to Change
their lives and the greatest gift of my life today is every day of my life no exaggeration my friend every day I have people come up to me and they're some days it's a dozen or more some days it's two or three but I don't miss a day if I'm in the public and people tell me about how this work has changed their life and usually say you know thanks coach and they say you did it I always reminded note you did it and I was just there as a good friend kind of reminding You
to what you already know because learning is remembering now Socrates said that centuries ago and it's the truth you know this stuff but when do we take the time for ourselves to actually focus on it so I'm your excuse to focus on you and give yourself the gifts you deserve I'm no special guy I just spent years doing this stuff just like what but you're doing I'm sure you've mastered it if you've done it for years and every day you held yourself to a Higher standard I'm sure you can teach me in that area so
thank you for the privilege of letting you share my point of view here and by the way you don't agree with everything I say I don't expect it I'm not here to be your guru you know take what makes sense to you and use it what you don't say guys nuts and throw it away but know that whatever is here that's valuable you gotta act on you gotta follow through on so how do we get Ourselves to do that well with personal power I created a 30-day program and that programs gotten results of people as
I say all over the earth and it's pretty famous and you may even know somebody that's used it maybe that's one of the reasons you picked up this program maybe didn't see an infomercial maybe a friend said you got to do this well however ever you got here why did I change it well I'll tell you why I started doing Focus groups and the product was still selling like crazy and I thought I don't want to reach even more people who are we missing if they're saying wow look how successful we are how do we
get to people were not reaching and we do these focus groups and they say well do you not believe that you know twenty Robbins is real and majority of time they said no I believe he's sincere it leaves a real guy do you not believe you people get results now I'm sure those people Got results but and then they say things like you know I just don't have the time and I think the time it's 30 days I'd say 30 days the change your whole life are you nuts I mean you're not worth that is
not even the whole day it's 45 minutes an hour maybe a day or 90 minutes for God's sakes I was frustrated think I got these people really think this way but we live in that nanosecond culture remember the old days you were taught that all this technology was Gonna transform the world we have all this free time I don't know about you but it hasn't worked out too well for me most people got themself a Palm Pilot so they can have your email wherever they are they'd have to go home and sit on the computer
they can do it everywhere they got their beeper they got their cell phone many days things are all put together with the camera music simultaneously these days I mean we are constantly responding to the demands of The environment and rarely taking the time to decide what we really want and whenever you react to stimulus you're not in control and when you're not in control you're not gonna stay happy because listen a measure of your self-esteem comes down to one simple thing do you feel like you control events or events are controlling you and I'll tell
you what it's so easy to get sucked in and I've done it myself and I've done it even Known these tools I mean this is not something you figure out one time and then all of a sudden it's all perfect it's like muscle you don't get muscle by going to the gym once you develop a system of working out on a regular basis and after a while working out is fun I mean you look forward to it it's your time part of what I want to do in this very first tape is get you to
commit to your time you know if there's anything missing in our lives it's time with Ourselves thinking about not problems but what we're grateful for thinking about what we want creating the plan to make it happen creating the juice of our lives stopping and taking in what already is great because you can't build on failure you can only build on success but if you do that once in a while once in a while you feel pretty good if you got a system for doing it that's what will change your life so part of what triggered
me to do This is years ago I said you know I gotta have my hour of power I gotta have at least 15 minutes for fulfillment I gotta have that short time the first time in the morning to set myself up for success because rarely does a great idea interrupt you you know rarely does Beauty just suddenly surround you and in golfy you have to stop and notice and appreciate it you got to seek it out you got to schedule it you know everybody talks About things I tell people when they plan their life I
said you know Talk's cheap you talk about it it's a dream when you start to envision things it gets exciting when you start to get a plan that's possible but when you schedule it it's real so part of the power of this get the edge program and by the way you're gonna see I snuck in I gave you a bonus or the first week of personal power and I'll explain that a minute why I did that But part of the benefit of this it's just having a simple system that you say for a week I'm
gonna do this and if you do it for a week I bet you'll do things like this for yourself on going after a week you're gonna feel so different about your life you're gonna have so much momentum do you say well can I really change my life in a week of course in fact that's what made me say okay you can't do in 30 days I'll make it a week you can do anything For a week can't Jake come on a week for yourself so I thought if I made it a week can I really
do it and I thought of course because you know what people's they have no time I think that's such a lie we lie to ourselves so much that's why we don't have what we want now I've done it too I'm not pointing fingers but you can't lie to yourself and expect to have the truth be a part of your life and have success that comes from the see all change happens in a minute you Gotta remember the power of a minute in one minute you could change everything in your life and one minute you can
say never again never has the Jewish people have said in their country they set a standard there and they said we will never go through a holocaust again it will never occur again when a human being gets that point of never again it takes a minute in a minute you can also do some other things in a minute you can look somebody in the eyes like you've Never looked at them before and then you can hug somebody like you've never hugged them before in a minute you can say the words I love you and mean
it is level you've never meant it before in a minute you can say I quit or let's begin or it's over or I do think of the minutes of your life that have changed who you are and I got to promise you in these little boxes we got a lot of minutes we got a lot of them in here minutes there's moments right at the Point you think this guy's insane and I'm gonna turn this off you stay there a little bit I can just tell you guys I've done it for years it's different somebody
else one phrase will wake something up inside you I'm not gonna give you anything it's all inside you but when it wakes up baby it is time to move and I don't have to tell you that it'll just happen you'll suddenly say this is it no more and it's kind of like that Pearl Harbor movie when you know You see them come diving down and the Admiral should be celebrating and they say Admiral we've got this great victory and he says oh I feel we've awakened a sleeping giant and inside of each of us is
that giant it's a giant of emotion because that's where it starts it's the emotion emotions start Wars don't they emotions get you married to get you divorced emotions make you have kids emotions make you break through the problems or give up it just depends Which emotions you decide to live with so how we gonna do it well two options are going to give you I created personal power and so I decided even though I said seven days to do two things one is I went into the studio and I wanted to take things and give
you the best of what I've learned today because when I made personal power frankly you know I was 28 years old so this many years later I've lived a lot of life and the world's changed I mean during all that Period we watch the Wall come down communism disappear you know we've seen transformations and music and movies in the way we experience our lives we've got the Internet people relate in a totally different way by the time your listeners probably cloning people for God's sakes people say that'd be a great time management I'd have some
extra people who get the work done no here's the Point during that same time I've obviously made big changes in my life I've learned a lot more about Who I am I've made some stupid mistakes and I've had some enormous victories good stuff has come through me on a huge scale and I've learned and so as a result get the edge is a little longer than personal power you say how they'll be longer the animal is 30 days well let me be specific you can do this in seven days as you'll see there are seven
days of Program if you look at the program in front of you this is day one but what I did do is I made some workshops in here instead of just giving you some ideas and hopefully inspiring you and give me a couple strategies and say go do it I actually have stopped in the middle of a couple days and said let's walk through it together and do it while I'm here with you as if I was coaching you one-on-one as if I was physically there with you like a trainer so you can break Those
up there's only a few and you could do this one CD a day and do it for ten straight days now if you're a maniac you could do this in a weekend and if you're insane and on drugs you could do it in a day and be completely overloaded but I suggest seven or ten days pick one of the other having said that let me give you one other piece I also sent you as a bonus the first week of my personal power program is the most successful personal achievement program of all time And I'm
gonna recommend you start with that after you're done with this tape say why would I do that why would they get your first cutting-edge stuff because well how to explain this is kind of interesting I really believe that this whole reason you're here listening to this is because you're a person that wants an extraordinary quality of life and not a good life right I'm sure that's true you wouldn't still be listening you know to shut me off a long Time ago the point of the matter is if you weren't an extraordinary life it has to
be on your terms it has to be what you call extraordinary not somebody else's but I can tell you there are two things you must master to have an extraordinary life and most people rarely even master one of them the first is you must master the science of achievement an achievement is a science how to go from where you are to where you want to be is a plan it's a strategy It's specific if you do well financially and you're starting with nothing or you're starting with something there are specific things you can do that
if anybody does them you will be financially independent eight ten twelve fourteen fifteen years certainly in a shorter period of time than you ever dreamed of and it doesn't require gigantic risks if you want to be physically fit if you want to achieve a Certain level of fitness of health of energy if you wanted your body to look a certain way that is a science there are very specific things you do and you'll have them you want energy I got a friend named Stu Mittleman who ran a thousand miles in 11 days 85 miles a
day two and a half marathons a day he go so what he's a freak what's this got to do with me he wasn't even a runner he went and studied some people in Central America a group of Indians that once a year run 76 Miles in one day for fun he thought it was crazy who want to study the psychology of it and he found that there were laws of the body that if you practice these your energy will explode it'll go beyond it and you imagine you're gonna learn that while you're in this program
so there are laws for achievement and I can tell you I'm a kid from Azusa do you know where that is California is not a big giant place no knock to the city it is not a big giant Place I don't have like some great role model that walked me through all this stuff and I didn't have any money or background or unique education what I had was one thing just an enormous love of people an enormous desire to serve and an unwillingness to settle and a massive amount of action I don't know how you
jump those four things but those are things that push me and I just knew that there were answers out there and I was willing to get in from anywhere and I didn't want to hear the standard answered in the standard education that's why I went to tapes and books and seminars I just look for anybody who was on the air it's like go find Stu if you want to figure out of energy that's what I did this who's the most energetic man on earth that's how I found him I asked that question I went madam
I started interviewing I figure out what he did how he did it I did the same thing and my energy turned Into this non-stop talking that's probably bugging you now so let me slow down for a moment the truth is if you want to achieve our laws and I don't care any area and again I kid from Azusa I've had the privilege of you know making hundreds of millions of dollars literally I made four hundred million dollars in a day taking a company public I'd had the privilege of losing hundreds of millions of dollars also
when stock prices change I've been able to sculpt my body I've been able to raise four kids that I'm so proud of and loved dearly and who are people that contribute to society in meaningful ways you know I've you know to find that connection my Creator though I embrace and I know is right for me I'm sure you've either found the way you'll find the way that's right for you but there are a loss there are ways to do that so why have I gone on and on about this We're going to teach you those
laws but the first thing that keeps you from using them is your conditioning so we all got conditioning about why it can't be done or we got some bad habits and those have to be changed and their conditions are part of you they've been going on for years and so personal power in that first week teaches you why you do what you do and how to change those things how to change that conditioning so you get momentum because momentum is Power when you start to get momentum it's like that little snowball starting to go down
the hill it starts to speed up to a point where all of a sudden it's got so much momentum nothing will stop it so personal power will get you started and here's the other thing about it it's short the first session is like about an hour but most of them about 3540 minutes so it'll get you going here initially and get your momentum and I gave it to You you know as part of this program and no extra charge because I wanted you to get it if you ever want to do the rest of the
30 days you can call us and get it but then here's what I want you to do come back here and then what I want you to do is go through this process because this process is even more comprehensive and it's about the following things today we're gonna establish a habit I'm kind of telling you what we're gonna do in the whole program so you understand The system but we're gonna establish a habit that if you make it a part of your life I promise you I guarantee you beyond a shadow of a doubt you
will be able to experience dreams that you never thought were possible joy that seemed like it was unsustainable and you'll sustain it a connection with people like you've never thought was possible not cuz I'm so smart because these are laws and I've stolen all this by modeling people are successful and I'm used and It works for me too and it'll work for you but also then we're going to begin the process of actually figuring out anything in your life that you want to change and you haven't changed it and we're gonna take you to a
seven step process and do it that's tomorrow once you go through the seven steps the changes will have begun you'll be going to make the big changes you want your life then we're going to look at the area that for most people has the most Pain and a lot of people don't even pay attention to it because we get caught up in work or something else that's easier to deal with that's called relation chips and that doesn't just mean your intimate relationships it means your kids it means your workers but certainly your intimate relationships this
area where there can be so much pain even for people that have achieved I promise you at the end of those two CDs you're gonna have an experience of clarity about Where you are what you want to have and you're gonna have some tools that will create that joy in your life either to attract the relationship you want or to recreate the relationship if you're already in it or to make the decision to make a change if you're in a relationship where the two of you really aren't matched and it's not really appropriate long term
you'll have the courage to follow through on any of these things to make it better or to Make the change then of course you got to have energy so how do we increase the energy how we get your health to the absolute peak level possible so you'll fall through all this the next day the fifth day we're gonna come back to those emotions I'm going to show you which emotions will strengthen you which ones are weaken you how do you change them in an instance you know what really works then we go to money by
the way money should come down further on list because If you got all the money in the world but you're not healthy if you go with money in the world and you're unhappy forget all the money in the world and your relationship feels terrible you're not a happy camper but if you got the energy and if you got the emotion it got the relationship then why not have the money too I don't have the freedom to do what you want when you want where you want with a system that really works and then finally the
Seventh day or the tenth depending on how you do it is the power of Y finding the sustainable purpose for your life I mean they're gonna be ups there's gonna be downs they're gonna be problems those things don't go away you just get better quality problems that's all and a lot of people in life think they're gonna be happy someday there have this extraordinary life when they have no problems well you have no problems you'd be dead Problems are a sign of life what you want to do is use them to make yourself more this
is not a program that's gonna limonade all problems it'll help you get rid of your current list so you can create a better list that makes you grow to the next level that's what life is so if problems don't go away you better have a deeper purpose for your life something that gives you juice and if you're in a you feel like there's no meaning in your life you may even want To jump to that last tape if you want to listen to it I'm fine with that but you gotta listen that tape if nothing
else the power of purpose so how do you do it do the first week of personal power then what you do you're going to do this week and by make sure you take advantage of that personal profile we offered you it only takes ten minutes online you'll see the receipt in your box about how to do it and after ten minutes you'll be blown Away you'll get a 30 page report that describes to you what kind of behaviors are natural for you under stress and how to deal with those how it may create conflicts in
your relationships or your business it will also show you what you value most at this stage in your life what's most important to you and that'll help you understand why sometimes maybe you take two steps forward and pull one step back and start to sabotage because you have some things that you value that Are in conflict so take advantage of that I think you'll find it invaluable it's the personal profile and again how to do it is in the notes at the front of your book so I told you up front that what we're gonna
do is get you creating extraordinary life and I said you needed two skills I never finished it the first skill was the science of achievement step by step here's how you do it you can achieve anything anybody has anyone who wants to can make it happen if they Follow certain laws you sell your reap as I've already said but you can succeed and not be fulfilled and success without fulfilment is failure and I can't tell you I've dealt with literally millions of people around the world again some of the greatest achievers in the world and
I've met a lot of achievers but I met very few that are truly fulfilled see to have an extraordinary life you need to be able to have the science of achievement but you also have to master The art of fulfillment and it's an art it's not a science and fulfillment there are principles there are things that if you use them you can create joy right now even though you haven't achieved all your goals and you know what if you're more joyful right now you can have more energy to go after them see most of us
have been trained at least in the Western world to we're supposed to go do things so we can achieve so we can eventually feel good in the East I'm Supposed to feel good and enjoy myself right now because this is all there is one is focused on the future of the other is focused on the present we need both listen if you live here in the West and you just sit around and you bliss out and feel wonderful you're gonna be fulfilled but for how long you know if you just sit there and be fulfilled
people come and take your furniture you got to do something with your life life requires that we do things that allow us Contribute to the world but it also requires if we're going to be fulfilled that we find a way to enjoy them and if you can do that now you're at the top of the ladder because if you don't do that you bump into the experience I bumped into I achieved I made it all happen you know I felt so excited about my life I was juiced I was giving giving giving and I was
seeing the resultant you know one year we've had a million people Thanksgiving through my foundation was One of the biggest dreams I ever had I felt so alive so happy so juiced about things you know I made a ton of money you know it's lie on all the choices I could do all the crazy stuff I got to have my Island and and I'm playing and all that stuff that when you grow up or you think boy that would just be it but the stuff didn't do it for me I knew it never would the
people part really did but there came a point where I was so focused on doing and giving and giving And giving that wasn't taking any time for myself and I remember one day actually being on stage were 18,000 people in the room they give me a standing ovation I had this incredible thing I felt so alive when I was giving to them but when I stopped giving I felt empty I mean was a scary moment and I realized there were some things in my life that I'd not focused on and they're hurting and I pretended
that they were okay and they weren't when I doing my Relationships now that I'm doing my relationship with my own time with myself I'd never took the time anymore I started out doing that every day doing my hour of power but now I was so swept up and doing I wasn't taking care of me so here's what this is about today you were gonna start a process if you're willing to I've taken time for yourself of taking the most scarce resource you got time and giving it to you and not just thinking about problems but
going Through a very simple system that'll line you up for success because if problems aren't gonna go away how am I ever gonna have a great life well the answer that is to realize that problems and Happiness have no linkage whatsoever I learned this because all of a sudden I felt like I had all these problems and in the midst of problems because I made changes by the way anytime you make some changes you're gonna have some problems because people are gonna agree with it Or they're not gonna like it or they're gonna judge it
and say why did you do that or I don't like it change always always creates problems as you have problems you create solutions which would by the way are more changes when you create more changes what does that do agree it's more problems so problems are here to stay in fact they won't be problems for you be challenges and we love a challenge don't we nobody wants a problem we love A challenge I mean why don't we watch sports to people take on a challenge to see what they can do why do you start a
new business what is it that makes you attractive to someone and saying my gosh you know can I connect with them can I get through to this person can I get this idea across it's challenge challenge is necessary for growth and growth is life so it's a cool system so let's get right to the point here if you're gonna have an extraordinary life That life or you are juiced then all that means is you're gonna have life where the primary emotions of your life are the ones you want it doesn't mean that life works out
every way you want sometimes it rains on your parade sometimes the events of your life you can't control but you can't control what it means to you and we control what it means to you you have the ultimate power of your life you have the edge the ultimate advantage see I'll give an Example did you see that movie that won the Academy Award life is beautiful it's a story of a man who has an extraordinary life not cuz he has more money than anybody else not because he's in a situation where everything is easy but
because he's alive he has this joy about him and by the way if you've actually ever met Roberto Benigni the man who plays this character you know that he lives this way day-to-day you know he was authoring this thing from Himself he's such a joyous guy when he won the Academy Award you never saw so much emotion was like a little boy and everybody loved it because nobody else has the guts to be that way or they've forgotten what it feels like to just feel to be alive what makes an extraordinary an extraordinary psychology an
extraordinary mindset an extraordinary way of looking at the world and in the movie the man has that doesn't he and Who does it affect everyone everyone within the realm of his influence his wife feels like the most cherished person on earth and so so does he because when you give that kind of love and that kind of joy people give it back it's infectious his son seems so happy and there in the middle of the Nazis taking over their country and if you know their story I don't run it you know that they get picked
up and there's such a connection Marks the family that the wife is not being sent away and she gets on the train with them and they're in the middle of this camp this man with his extraordinary psychology figures away of looking at the situation for his son presenting it so that his son sees it as a game isn't life a game anyway instead of this horrible situation and because he has that perspective in the end his family survive see if you want your family to survive if you want them to Succeed if you want them
to have joy if you want your kids to have a lasting love if you want to be able to give gifts in your life and not just take care of yourself then you gotta have an extraordinary psychology within yourself it's not where you live physically it's where you live internally there are two worlds the inside world in the outside world we can't totally control the outside one but we have absolute control in the inside one but you know what most Of us are too busy to take any time to check out and see how it's
going on in here well we just accept it as this is the status quo this is who I am this is my life or or I'll get to it later mañana I got to handle this first something else that's not so important I want to invite you my friend to take the time to say I'm gonna have everyday an hour of power every day I'm gonna have at least 30 minutes to thrive or 15 minutes to be fulfilled for God's sakes Where I'm gonna take those 15 minutes and I'm gonna focus on everything I'm grateful
for I mean if we're gonna have a life we gotta have time and the time has to have some specific things we do and one of those is gratitude if you want to know what's the quality of your life how much time do you spend in gratitude how much time are you grateful and appreciative to the point that emotion Wells up in you I'm feeling it now I'm So grateful to God I'm so grateful to have the privilege to serve you right now so if you can get to that state everything changes I'll give you
an example if you think about being fearful when you're fearful you're not grateful if you want to get rid of fear which everybody has and people say oh I'm not fearful I'm stressed or the places like LA or New York they're achieving I can't even be stressed there they have angst it's a higher level of more Sophisticated levels of stress but you know what and you follow the trail of stress it brings you to fear and every got fears fear there not enough fear that it won't work out fear they won't be loved you always
got that at some level unconsciously we're human so you can put the fear aside when you're grateful I don't just mean intellectually yeah I'm grateful for this and grateful that one I mean stopping thinking seeing and Feeling so I'm gonna walk to you through a system and includes gratitude every day of our life we gotta have a vision everyday I live well you gotta have something excites us when people tell me our I'm bored I'm tired you know everything is boring no you're boring cuz you don't have something to excite you in your life you
haven't come up with a vision you have a come something to move towards we all need something it's gonna make us use more of who we Are our courage our passion our joy face our fears build our emotional muscles but you don't build emotional muscles when you do the same thing day after day after day what you get is a life that's done fulfilling so we've got out of a vision so every day I'm gonna take you through a simple process that will get you to expand your vision so you have a compelling future that
thing that makes you want to get up early there's a reason you gotta have a reason and you Know I have friends that have sold their companies one guy sold his company made almost a billion dollars in cash about 800 million plus and you know he was so excited for about two months maybe three but you know what after that you know there's only so much time you want to sit on the beach by yourself because everybody else is working you know I'm doing something of being productive there's only so many cocktails you can take
you know there's only so many you Know movies you can watch I mean there's a limit to it what he needed was a new vision anytime you achieve a goal as you get close to it you better set up the next one real quick cuz otherwise it's kind of like postpartum you're looking forward to that baby and now you got him and sometimes in the middle night you're going what did I do here have you ever had that experience I got four kids I can relate I hope you can but you know what you also
have the experience on the Other side that's so wonderful it's kind of like you know the the guys that went to the moon for the first time the first astronauts I mean they worked their whole life they achieved this goal they walked them on the moon then they came back there was a ticker tape parade they were heroes they shook the president's hand now what what do you do now that you walked on the moon well maybe you gotta find how to get adventure not of a moon flight but Adventure out of a smile you
know maybe you gotta have a vision for what your life's about now without a vision people perish and you gotta have a daily vision that excite you otherwise life becomes mundane and there's nothing worse than an okay life I told you you're not gonna have that war down here I promise you if you get this little habit you won't have to settle for a mundane life what people who knows what happened to you because There's an excitement in creation there's not a lot of excitement and maintenance I mean you have to maintain your body you
got to maintain things but creating things that's what God created us for gave us the gift to make choices that could create new things businesses ideas families friends you know a garden and it's available to everyone of us but if you don't get a vision each day then the day is not gonna have much juice is it so every day there's gotta be a Little time for vision all right time for gratitude time provision every day you gotta move I'll tell you why most people aren't happy they don't move look at our lives today and
most people live in a box don't they and then what did he do they get up the morning have a box cereal breakfast right and then they get in their box and they drive and sure enough they drive to their box office they go up a box elevated type in a box they talk in a box they have a box lunch They drive their box home they turn the box to be entertained and maybe maybe they just really go for the variety and have a cylinder to try and change their state listen life is got
to be about movement when you move you're alive emotion comes from motion the more you move the more you feel motion in your voice for me to have this voice change I'm James way I move you saw me right now you pick up my mania because I'm moving different ways but that's how you Feel and by the way the less you move the less you feel the less alive you are if you're totally rigid totally inflexible no movement this is known as death so if you have emotionally you're stuck move every day you gotta move
now that can be a simple gentle form of exercise but it's something that's got to happen and by the way if you want a great relationship with anybody what do you got to have some time with them don't you how about you how about you And the only do you have to have time with them but maybe have a conversation with them and most of us got conversations in our head but we're not directing them so we're gonna show you today how to have a conversation that you direct a way of directing your mind is
shaping your mind of condition your mind like going to the gym and just getting in the best shape of your life but it's the best mental emotional spiritual Physical shape and you don't need me to do it I don't have to follow you around the rest of your life this can be something you gonna do for yourself I'll be here for the first 7 days or 14 if you decide to do these 2 weeks with me and do you want to visit with me again great or come see me in a seminar I'd love to
meet you but you don't need me I'm not here to create dependency I'm here to remind you what you know is true just to create some habits though create The result you want so how does it work well let's do this first it's time for you to make some discoveries the quality of your life is the quality of the consistent emotions you experience I'll say that again how you feel is your life what are the feelings you have on a consistent basis so I'm gonna ask you just take a moment and if you have our
journal here you can do it in a journaling and doing a piece of paper you don't make it rules driven just do It don't just do it your head I want you to write down all the emotions you experience in an average week and on one side write all the good ones the other side all the bad ones now when I say bad ones there really are no bad emotions but the ones that are painful and you don't like so all the way you lose write them down and when you write them down try not
to edit them don't try and say well just do it this way if you experience this emotion on a consistent Basis doesn't mean everyday but at least once a week write it down the ones you've consistently feel I'm not the one once in a while you feel this feeling because what this is gonna tell us is where you're really living right now this doesn't tell me your income I don't care but I care about what you're passionate about I care about what hurts you I care about what you love I care about what moves you
and you do too and you don't have to tell me the what's Let's just figure out the feelings first so please take a moment right now because now we're gonna begin to stop talking I want to start the process of doing first step here is let's figure out where you are right down now on one side all the emotions you consistently feeling weak that are positive on the other side all negative so stop the tape right now or if it's a CD just pause it and get yourself to this right now go ahead are you
still listening I'm not Gonna continue until you do this come on here you got to get there right don't just listen okay if you're in your car you say you can't do it then turn off the CD or tape stop it pause it and do it in your head at least or pull the car over you're worth figuring out where you are cars are gonna go by you're gonna drive the rest your life you're still gonna get there it'll take three minutes come on b1 a few new pullover that's it pull over right now sit
down and write This out just for a second I promise you'll be worth it go ahead and do it do it right now so now you have some emotions that you really want how do you create them and you have some emotions you don't want how do you get rid of them what if I told you you literally could change how you feel in an instant well you know this is true from your past experience at times right there are times like we said earlier where you're totally upset And then something got your attention and
now you're laughing you know people can be literally at a funeral and they're in a terrible place and all of a sudden something cracks them up I mean it's pretty rare but it has happened people can be in a place where they're in the worst situation and somehow they find all their determination how to do that specifically is what I want to show you real quickly now I'm gonna give you a quick overview of it but I'll give it To you in three parts three things you need to feel anything these are the reasons why
you feel anything in other words if you feel sad or upset or frustrated or depressed there's only three reasons and if you change any one of these three you're gonna change how you feel and I've changed all three you'll change how you feel completely if you're feeling happy if you're feeling excited if you're feeling euphoric if you're on a roll and you want to know Why you feel that way yeah maybe great things are happening in your life but there's a reason why you feel that way in this moment sometimes you have great things happen
in your life and you don't feel great so how do you do that there's three reasons three things have to be in place for you feel great I call these three reasons the Triad because there are three patterns that if you do these three patterns in your body in a certain way you'll get a Certain result that's like a recipe you do one recipe you get one result you do another one you get a different result you get one kind of cake or another so let's give you an example I have a seminar I do
this the initial seminar most people go to it's a life Revolution it's a chance in a weekend to revolutionize your whole life not just change things or make it a little better but to really step up and say I'm gonna transform I don't care if it's my body My emotions of fear my job it's time to do it and we put people in an environment for three days of total immersion that is a blast and people come out transform that process though very often well the first things I'll do is I'll ask people what do
you really want just I'll take people in the audience they got 1,500 2,000 people in that type of program usually and they'll say oh well I want to make you know a million dollars I want to make a billion Dollars I want to help my kids get through school I would have more confidence I want to lose 57 pounds okay great why do you want these if you lost the 57 pounds have you made the billion dollars what are you gonna get and sooner or later they'd say well you know if I change the world
it'll make a difference and I'll say yeah but what will that give you and eventually say well it'd make me feel good like my Life had meaning or they'll say you know if I lost 47 pounds I'd feel more sexy or I feel more energetic or they'd say if I made this money I'd feel freedom or power or secure whatever it is you want you only want it because you think it's gonna give you a feeling and the truth of the matter is you're gonna have that feeling right now if you just change these three
patterns I'm gonna tell you about so the first pattern that determines how you feel is not the event But what you do with your body in this moment right now you're feeling whatever you're feeling right now is you're listening to me is related first how using your body if you're slumped over if you've not been using it if you're tired you probably feel different than if you listen to me walking right now as an example now I'll give you a more specific example if I were to tell you that there was a depressed person behind
curtain number one over here and for a Hundred thousand dollar donation to your favorite charity if you could describe them physically without seeing them I bet you could do it couldn't you what's their posture like you know say it or thinking at least you can say it no one's gonna hear you're probably in the car you're walking people talking phones all the time they don't know what's going on speak to me seriously what what's their body like first their posture is probably what's slumped or Their eyes down where's their head down what's the breathing like
full or shallow of course it's shallow their facial expression up and tight or slack you know what slack now how come you know all these things without me telling you because you practice this stuff before haven't you we all haven't we've ever experienced this now if you do this with your body I don't care who we are if you do these things your body you're gonna feel lousy You're gonna feel depressed now if you change the way you use your body if you put your shoulders back if you breathe if you use your voice in
a different way if you move or gesture in a different tempo it's hard to feel depressed in that way in fact there was a research study that was done early in my career there was none at UC Berkeley and they did something that sounded insane traditionally if somebody's depressed if they go to a traditional psychiatric Approach today we live with a philosophy that depression is merely a prozac deficiency that we live in this world today that if things aren't working out let's not resolve what's going on inside you let's just drug you it's called better
living through chemistry yeah just drugging keep on going we do the same thing with kids today we got this attention deficit disorder they now upgraded it to ADHD attention deficit Hyperactive disorder this couldn't be the fact that kids are overstimulated don't get enough focus or attention and don't know how to use their energy in their world where things are going so slow when they're learning in school compared to how they are on the internet and on MTV or anything else it must be that we should drug them into submission so they get as slow as
us and we're comfortable it's an interesting way that we look at life today The truth of the matter is these kids are using their bodies and ways that aren't acceptable but they're not being directed we go for the quick hit we want the instant solution even if it isn't a long-term solution that makes us more healthy you can get a solution but it may not be sustainable in a healthful way the bottom line is in that approach we usually drug people so at UC Berkeley they tried something different no drugs did something you're gonna think
sounds So stupid here's all they did they came up with a simple approach they took people that were clinically depressed this means you achieved high levels of depression you've got certification now you are clinically depressed you are an achiever at the depression level this means you've practiced this pattern on a regular basis and they took them and mentally I know I'm sounding obnoxious right now I'm not trying to make Depression sound like these people are terrible because I felt at my life a long time ago too but I don't go there anymore because I know
exactly what creates it and I want to break the pattern of us thinking we're not in control so please understand what I'm really coming from but the point is here's what they did they had people come for four weeks stand in front of this mirror that has three parts to it and do one silly thing grin from ear to Ear and they had to make them smile for no good reason for 20 minutes now when they're doing the static grin so big that they created crow's feet on the side of the eyes you know that
little set of lines you're smiling so big now interesting and they keep the shoulders back while they're doing this and breathe fully you know dumb idea but what happened not a single person was able to remain depressed including one who claimed that she was depressed even While she slept which is one heck of an accomplishment and you know it's interesting at the end of these twenty days many of them had no need for medication anymore and that's all they change only one part of what we call their triad just the physical part that's how powerful
it is see if you rise up if you move up if you use your body in a totally different way you're gonna feel different emotion is created by motion see we have 80 Muscles in our face how many of them are you using consciously are you doing anything different with your body so you can feel different or do you do the same things so you feel the same things you look at your list you have written down there that list represents a few patterns that you do in your body on a regular basis and you
don't even think about it and whenever you do it you're gonna feel it some make you feel good when you do that so I make it feel Bad by the way you think about a movement to breathe you got to move to sing you got to move to speak if I start talking like this I'm moving organs in my body in a different way then if I start speaking more like this by the way what if you got this tape set and I said I am twenty Robbins and I'm gonna share with you now how
to have an extraordinary life during the next seven thousand hours of this program you got turn this guy off quick there's Got to be some combination of energy there and that energy comes because I'm not sitting in a chair here I don't have a script in front of me I'm looking at this microphone I'm visualizing your face and I'm trying to think what I can give you that I know make a difference based on 25 years of experience and I'm totally the number one thing has changed the way you move change the way use your
body and you'll change the way you feel now instantly I don't care how bad you Felt if you change it now if you just change it for a second and you move your hands up for a moment you make a little minor change you'll get a minor change in feeling but if you make a radical change if you go yes I'm doing this now I'm sick of this I promise you're gonna feel different if you go I don't know what to do I know this sounds so stupid but it works and you know what the
best study life is what works even if it's simple it's nice to have think so but Why do we have to make it so hard to feel good here's the second part of the triad the second part is the pattern of focus and belief and they relate to one another see whatever you focus on you're gonna feel whether it's true or not have you ever had an experience where somebody did something or you thought somebody did something even example you heard you thought and you thought they did it to take advantage of you And as
you focused on that you got angry or sad or hurt and then later on you found out you were dead wrong that either they never did it it wasn't true or that wasn't their intent and you felt bad about it or you felt embarrassed how can that be because whatever we focus on we feel whether it's true or not focus equals feeling just like the way you move affects your feeling see right now if I said to you what are you juiced about in your life what could you be Excited about if you really wanted
to be excited in your life right now what could you be excited about or what are you proud of what could you be proud of if you wanted to be proud or who owned your life do you really love who loves you think about it for a moment who do you really love who loves you by the way how does that feel when you focus on her you think about someone you love see whatever you focus on you're gonna feel focus equals Reality to the individual even though it's not reality in actuality I'll say that
again focus equals reality to the individual even though it's not reality and actuality that's a complicated way of saying whatever you focus on you're gonna feel whether it's true or not because your brain doesn't know the difference between something you vividly imagine that's called focus on or something you actually experience that's very powerful if you use this to your Advantage it means something very simple how fast can you change how you feel as fast as you change your focus as fast as you change the way you move see right now if you're focused on something
that's really upsetting or something you're worried about or something you're fearful about you're gonna feel those feelings if you focus on something you're really grateful for it you're gonna feel a totally different set of feelings so you are in control and you Can change your feelings in an instant the problem is we don't believe we can change that fast and the second problem is we have patterns of doing this don't we we tend to have like on a regular basis focus on what overwhelms us or focus on what we're upset with in our spouse or
focus on why we failed in the past and if you keep focusing on things where you didn't succeed guess what you gotta feel like a failure and when you feel like a failure you're not gonna Take action to make things better you can't build on the past that doesn't work but you can also focus on what you want what you want to create you can focus on the solution hey when you had a problem there buddy's got problems but 95% of your time has got to be spent on the solution 5% on the problem most
have spent a long time describing the problem more and more and more and more detail we wonder why they feel overwhelmed Focus is the secret key to changing and you can do it in an instant one way to change your focus is to change the third thing your language patterns see all day long we're thinking what's thinking all day long you're asking and answering questions with yourself should I do this what does this mean why is this where is this going on that's what initiates thinking is a question you know the problem is we have
patterns of questions we ask that don't Serve us sometimes ask questions like how come this always happens to me well it doesn't always happen to you but if you ask a lousy question like that on regular basis your brain goes because you're an idiot you know how come I can never lose weight well you can lose weight but ask a lousy question asking you shall what you receive how come I can never lose weight your brain says because you're a big you know come up with a better question for God's sake See questions direct us
questions are a form of language and if you want to change your life one of things I have people discover is what questions you're asking and also what phrases do you say a lot because phrases hypnotize us we have certain words by themselves they'll change the way you feel somebody says to you hey listen I think you're mistaken about that you might have one feeling they go you're wrong you feel something very different just by the language if Somebody says you're a line you have a whole different feeling don't you one word can change the
way you feel when someone else speaks it to you the words you select powerfully effective and I don't mean just being positive and doing the Stuart Smalley thing where you've got positive self-talk right and you say I'm good enough I'm strong enough and by golly people like me no I mean noticing the habit of the words and the emotions they create and then third part of Language is the phrases that you say was such emotional intensity that you start to believe them we call those incantations an incantation is like if you remember studying mythology you
know a sorcerer would tell the prince over and over again a phrase over and over again with such intensity that he'd be hypnotized may think that he was a frog and so of course he was a frog that's what he experienced we experience whatever we focus on we Feel whatever we picture we feel whatever we say to ourselves we feel whatever we do with our bodies those are the three patterns if you change those three patterns any one of the three you're gonna change how you feel if you change all three you're gonna radically change
how you feel if you change the pattern of how you use your body if you change the pattern of what you focus on daily which by the way I'm gonna show you a technique for doing today that Could change your life very simple if you change the pattern of what you say to yourself with the emotional intensity you say it you're gonna change the pattern how you feel now that means you could pick any feeling you want say if I want to feel that way what do I do with my body when I'm in that
state how do I move how do I speak what do I do let me try it when I'm feeling that good what do I focus on what do I really focus on and by the way what does it mean to me When I focus on it because you can focus on something and one person looks at and says because that happened that's why I can never be close to another man a woman in my life that's why I can never trust again and somebody else had the same experience thing ah you know because that happened
what I've learned so much about myself and because that happened I appreciate the person I'm with now so much you can't have a foreground without A background right that's the secret to life see one person believes their life is over because something's happened they gave it that meaning somebody else says God's challenging me it's time to go to the next level we have absolute choice we have absolute control about how we feel and whatever feelings we put in our lives on a regular basis will determine the quality of our lives so you can have frustration
anger upset overwhelmed insecurity you know you can Be fearful you can live in a state of guilt worry whatever or you can live in a place called passion joy thankfulness gratefulness connection love wonder and if you create those emotions on a regular basis are you gonna have a different life you bet you are okay so how do we take these three understandings and make it something enough to think about it but we actually on a regular basis condition ourselves to have the great emotions we want and Get really emotions you don't want well first step
is awareness see next time you start to feel like ah so frustrating so angry about this notice what you're doing with your cheeks what are you doing with your mouth what happened to your breathing just now to do that what's happening your eyebrows are you tightening your fingers in your hands because we all have various things we do to get into our version of anger or frustration or tired or Overwhelm does that make sense just notice what's happening your body okay I'm not breathing that's a clue let me start with a little change there my
mother is so tight I can't even talk that might be a clue why you're a little uptight so loosen your job second thing okay what am i focusing on I'm focusing on how well you know this this isn't working now to help you understand the belief part ask yourself in order to feel this Way what would I have to believe in order to be frustrated what would I have to believe I have to believe that it should be better than it isn't and it's not and and it's not working well maybe it isn't working but
is that gonna help you to focus on it isn't working let's focus on what we can do or if you say you know I feel I feel like it's hopeless because in order to feel hopeless I have to believe that there's nothing I can do is that really true Because there's nothing you can do or you just caught up in a state are you just caught up in a pattern see if you ask yourself what do I have to believe to feel this way it'll help you to break that part of the triad because you're
starting to say yeah that isn't really even true alright that'll help you there third part of awareness to say okay what am I saying to myself why do they do this how come they always do these things why don't they ever listen well I'm asking a lot of lousy questions cuz they may listen sometimes what I'm saying they don't I'm saying it with total intensity of course I'm gonna feel bad let me change what I'm saying let me change what I'm asking how can I turn this around what do I need to focus on to
make this work what's the truth here you know maybe I can't control it all but I can control what it means to me what does this really mean if you just have that awareness and you break your Pattern you can get out of a negative emotion in a moment they can say well how do I want to feel to feel like that what would I have to do with my body I feel like that one would have to focus on right now I won't have to believe not to believe you know what I can turn
anything around I don't may not like it but I can make it happen it's just another challenge that God's given me to sculpt my muscles all right sculpt my soul thrown at me God's the greatest Trainer on earth cuz a great trainer when you think you got nothing left what do they do they go give me six more he goes sex more how do you ever want more but you know they say yes you do and sure enough you got at least three more and you didn't you develop real muscle and now you're stronger and
what used to be hard now gets to be easy next time cuz you've been through it that's what this is about now here's what you can do that'll make This part of your life we're gonna do is go after that thing we said was missing in our lives do you remember it is after all this verbage I've given you time time with yourself but we're gonna structure that time so that we create a daily triad that puts us in a state of mind where things flow have you ever had that happen it's like yes I
know what to do of course oh yeah it's a challenge big deal bring it here let's handle it no big deal come On don't worry have even though states were like nothing can shake you you can hope that you're gonna pop in one of those states and get lucky or you can create it every morning before you start your day so you start with a foundation that's so powerful that it affects you and everybody around you you can make life beautiful life can be beautiful for you every day if you do the things he did
with his body if you focus on life the Way he focused on if he used language like he used he being the man in the movie or the man in real life who embodies it so much see that's a role model if you saw the same seed you'll read the same rewards but you got a schedule remember I said if you talk about it it's a dream if you envision it's possible but if you schedule it it's real so here's what I'm gonna ask you for an invitation and a challenge I want you to give
yourself that missing Time and I want you ideally to give yourself an hour of power I call it at least five days a week now what does that mean it means for one hour I'm gonna walk you through three things to do for an hour that will absolutely connect you to yourself and will give you a level of focus and joy and happiness and strength to deal with not only the challenges but to enjoy your life more if you don't do it you're gonna be driven by technology by demands My people by our kids you
know it's beautiful that you want to give to everybody else but if you keep giving giving everyone you don't feel yourself back up there's nothing to give and I know you know this is true so here's what it looks like and by the way if you can't do an hour then do 30 minutes to thrive you know it's about an hour power give yourself at least 30 minutes there's always 30 and if you can't do that at least do 15 minutes the Fulfillment let's all describe this so there's never a day you shouldn't do this
there's always 15 minutes but if you can lock in that hour it'll go and I'll tell you before I tell you how it works if you'll just do the 15 minutes it'll grow to the 30 it'll grow to the hour because you'll get so reinforced in your life so what does it look like here's what it is simply at the end of this session there is another tape or CD you can Actually take with you on a walk you can go and make this process happen and I'll guide you through it in case you forget
how this works but it's pretty simple it has three parts here's what you're gonna do the first step is that you want to make sure that the moment you wake up in the morning there's no hesitancy to get up so you start to train your body which is training your mind remember your body and mine are linked whatever you do with your body it's gonna affect your mind You want to train your body to jump out of bed immediately with energy without hesitancy and to start moving because remember emotion comes from motion we've got to
move now ideally you would exercise in the morning there's a lot of reasons to do that because of all the times and by the way I'm a night person so I understand it your morning well I need you jumping out of bed in the morning I turn on around midnight at 1:00 in the morning sometimes I don't go To bed to 4:00 or 5:00 so what I'm talking about you can adapt but just turn me out the ideal time to workout is in the morning because if you exercise in the morning you turn on your
metabolism and you have it for the whole day if you don't exercise you get no metabolism and you just keep gaining fat and your body loses its strength and you lose muscle every single year especially as you age but if you can train yourself to do that in the morning is the first Thing even if you have to get up earlier go to bed slightly earlier or just take one hour less sleep or 30 minutes less sleep or 15 minute less sleep if you can do that in the morning you turn on the metabolism but
you also turn on your emotions movement and breath are the first phase so what's gonna do to have your shoes beside your bed and if you've got something to do this with it's even better I mean if you got your lover and the first thing you do is get up in the Morning and you can spend time walking with them that's great but you get up and you physically move you go for a walk anywhere you get outside you get out of the house you move immediately now walking doesn't sound very dynamic and you may
want to run but you walk first to start warming up your body warming up your metabolism and as you're walking there's a pattern of breathing that when you do it it will stimulate your body to cleanse itself and it'll Start to move everything you need and the ratio of breath is you're inhaling for breaths in a row so it's then you're exhaling for a row as you're doing this you're actually going to be tapping fingers you'll be doing this same pattern again and again this pattern of breathing will alter your state you will literally after
doing this for about five minutes you're gonna feel radically different now you're gonna inhale through your nose as You probably heard and exhale out your mouth and this is something called breath walking they've been studies done on this at MIT and it literally alters brain functioning well you don't have to know the studies to be able to feel what it does in your system so are you gonna do is for the first five minutes enjoy yourself get up you don't have to worry about oh I got a run right now in my back store you
just get up and you start To walk you walk for about five minutes with this breathing pattern step two you get grateful and you begin to visualize so in Phase two what you're gonna do now is you're gonna cultivate the emotion of gratitude what you're gonna do very simply is remember I said fear disappears when you're grateful the minute you're grateful you're rich when you have everything your life to be grateful for you don't feel that emotion you got Nothing you're poor so this has to be a daily emotion it's like the antidote to all
the stress the antidote to all the frustration but you got to cultivate it because if you go into a state of depression on a regular basis pretty soon your body goes there automatically because it's conditioned it's trained it's like what we call anchoring it by going into that physiology by breathing and by visualizing so what you're gonna do is you're gonna focus on and ask Yourself what are all the things in my life I'm grateful for a while you walk so you're outdoors you're moving so your pattern of physiology makes you feel good you got
movement you got any motion now as you're moving you're thinking about everything you're grateful for it I usually start with a circle I start with myself right here and I think about all the things I'm grateful to God for my life my health I start to think immediately okay my family members and I Think about them and I send love to them I make this spiral of thought going out and then I think about my close friends and my close business associates and then all the people I get to serve through my work in the
world and I just expand it you think of moments you're grateful for you know a moment that I had with my son where he shared something with me it just made me cry it was so beautiful you know there are moments in your life so what are we Doing we're moving and breathing that's changing your physiology or being grateful that's a focus and so now you change your focus and now what you focus on is everything that you really want in your life but you focus on it from the state as if it's already been
achieved I honestly start just giving thanks for it I am so grateful if that business deals come together the way it has so what I do is I begin to see it as if it's Already done because remember your brain can't tell the difference train is something you vividly imagine and something you actually experience so I see it I feel it I think about it I feel the emotion as if it's already achieved the more you can program your body and your mind and your emotions if something's achieved your brain can do things you're unaware
of and if you focus on what you want continuously you'll move towards it whatever you Focus on you move towards most people are focused on what they're afraid of so as an example and somebody's out of control in a car they immediately look at the wall they don't want to hit and of course as they look at it they steer right into it the same thing happens in life wherever you focus that's where you go don't focus on what you fear focus on what you want and make it real the more certain you are that
what you want can happen the easiest for your brain to Figure away when you say this is important your brain starts noticing anything that'll get either what's important and if you believe it's already happened you know enough about life that when you have that kind of certainty your brain will find the way now you start focusing on today what do you want to create today you think about meanings are gonna have what do you want to make that happen instead I gotta go to this meeting what do I want most People think about what they
have to do think about what you want to do who do you want to turn on excite make happy who do you want to make laugh what do you want to achieve there what do you want to accomplish see the more you can see it in advance you can remember everything that's in your outside world started in your inside world everything in my life my kids my business is this conversation with you started is something in my head and now it's real The same is true for you you got to create in your head first
the way you want it if you wanted to show up in your life the way you want it most people create ahead what they don't want and so of course they keep manifesting what they don't want so even for this day now focus on what do you want to create out of this day think about what's coming up how do you want it to go how do you want to feel how could you respond and just get yourself juiced about the day so now What you need to do is incantations so if you're walking as
you're walking you can be doing this you're gonna be doing it with the same breath you started with or you can be going I love my life I love my life I love my life you got sound so positive think he don't but you know what have you doing over and over again you're gonna be vibrating I've done incantations my entire life it's how I've conditioned myself 25 years ago when I first started speaking 17 years Old I'd make some changes in my life really quickly and I started sharing it and I didn't have speaking
skills but I had a state you know when you're in state and things just flow just like having a conversation you know what to think about it comes out of you but I made myself get in state because I was fearful so I said I gotta focus on how to serve not on am I gonna do a good job I need to focus on giving not on how am I gonna do if you focus on how you're Gonna do you're gonna get worried so I created an incantation and I've done it for 25 years before
I go onstage every single time if anyone's been backstage they'll see what I do I make a big change in my body take an explosive breath and I do this thing I call a power move that stimulates my body so I'm at the strongest date I can be second thing I do is I do my incantation and what I do is I say this I say I now command my subconscious mind to direct Me in helping as many people as possible day to better their lives by giving me the strength the emotion the persuasion the
humor the brevity whatever it takes to show these people and get these people to change their life now and I do it again and again and again now I can do it once today and I'm there cuz I used to do this literally for 45 minutes driving someplace and I'm driving my old Volkswagen bug and I'm supposed to do this speech to share with people how They can do these things or I'm supposed to meet this person one on one and I would literally chant this out loud now why do you do it out loud
because if you don't in your hand that doesn't affect you speaking engages your physiology and when you speak with certainty and intensity it conditions you so the bottom line is you do this when he walks up here conscious about this you can do it under your breath like I said you can doing a breathing Pattern you can do something simplistic like you know every day and every way I'm getting stronger and stronger as you're jogging as you're walking every day and every way I'm getting stronger and stronger some old phrase from an old book from
years ago anything will work as long as you say it with intensity every day and every way I'm feeling happier and happier every day and you say it again again and what you'll actually get is a rhythm I'll tell you what incantations do in case this sounds stupid to you maybe it'll help have you ever made the fatal mistake of going to Disneyland and getting on a ride called it's a small world after all if you have you know the power of incantations does what's stuck in your head for the next three weeks that song
and 37 languages right or if you hear a song and you get it in your head and you can't get it out you know and it goes on and on and on well this Is a way to get the right idea in your head and condition it but not just the idea the feeling so now what you need to do is exercise ideally 20 minutes no less than 15 30 even better and you can do 45 minutes that's wonderful that's how you get to the hour and so at the end of this hour of power
you want to celebrate you want to say my god I got myself to do this thing that set me up for victory now you won't have to work at celebrating I Promise you you'll feel so good you'd be vibrating especially if you did the incantations now this process you might say oh I'm not gonna run in five times a week you don't have to you can just go on a walk and you can do this process this hour power of focus and you can spend 10 minutes on gratitude 10 minutes on visualizing 10 minutes on
what you want to have happen today and do it in 30 minutes this is your freedom but I can tell you if you'll give yourself an Hour or 15 or 20 of those minutes are based on these three things massive changes in your physiology that make you feel great massive changes in your focus that make you focus specifically on gratitude and specifically on what you want to have happen and feeling like it's already been achieved and then massive changes where you push your body to be stronger and you make some incantations you say some phrases
over and over At least 5 or 10 minutes of it you will have conditioned your mind your body your emotions and your spirit will soar and now you will deal with problems radically differently then what you promise will be challenges for you and more importantly you'll be excited to connect with people you'd be excited about your projects you will affect people around you in a different way because you will have an extraordinary psychology if you are an extraordinary Body it takes a ritual doesn't it a ritual of diet or a ritual of exercise if you
want an extraordinary emotion and spirit it takes rituals one of those that you might want to add to this our power is prayer if you believe in prayer this is it and this is a form of it may be the greatest prayer is not asking for things but saying thank you thank you lord getting in that place on a daily basis for no less than 15 minutes the Fulfillment and ideally the hour of power will change your life more than anything else maybe even listen to any other tape and you just did this I can
promise you if you did it for six months your life will never be the same because all the research shows that have you even exercised for six months you'll exercise for the rest of your life because it becomes physically addictive to you if you get away from it you'll feel pulled to do it all you got to do Right now is give it a week or 10 days do this with me for 10 days and I promise you you're gonna get some momentum if you want to guarantee success do it for 30 that's why I
did personal power for 30 days and that's why I gave you seven days of personal power on top of the seven days to get the edge this tape is much longer than any other and other than a workshop because I really wanted to hopefully engage you I don't know if I'll ever see Again I don't know if you'll listen to another CD but my goal was to do everything I could to get you to give yourself what you deserve and to tell you the three things that you've got to take control of and to remind
you of the fundamentals that your life is nothing but your emotions if you get the right emotions you'll work out if you're determined you'll work out if you're determined you can go on a diet but most people trying to go on a diet and They're not determined you can change a state that fast but you gotta get to have it are you sold I hope so cuz the sale is for you it's not for me it's for you to create what you want long-term if you will do this and you'll even do it four days
a week if you'll just get a habit that you'll commit to and not break your pride will soar because when you just discipline yourself a tiny bit by the way listen Tim feel like discipline it feels like Joy when you do it but if you discipline yourself just a little bit you got a positive habit you've consciously created it spills over into all the areas of your life and if you stay with me on this over these next seven days we're gonna address each of those areas are the best tools I know of so thank
you for listening and what I want you to do is tomorrow or if you're crazy like me you'll just grab the next tape or CD and Go for a walk tomorrow I want you to go do this first thing in the morning I want you to start out your day by doing this hour of power or there's 30 minutes to thrive or these 15 minutes of fulfillment just do it by the way this sounds complex and I've overloaded you because it's been a long session don't worry I'll walk you through it fresh as we do
it but make sure you get started the hardest part is the first step the Hardest part to get is momentum hardest part is get to the gym so just do it as they say in the Nike ads and you'll get what you really want so my friend I plead with you give yourself this gift each day I mean this is really one of the most important decisions of your life I hope my crazy outrageous approach pushed you in the right direction and didn't push you away helped somehow I found my way into your heart or
your Intellect or whatever part of you we've got to reach to push the button that launches your life to the next level the level deserves to be so this is the beginning of a brand new journey and I'm really grateful that you've allowed me to be your coach in this first part of the process I think we can make immense progress so let's start taking real action let's not just talk a good game you and I let's do it just get your butt out there because once you get out there You'll get out there again
and again you'll get that momentum it'll take over and the best of you will start showing up every day and when the best of you shows up every day you're gonna start appreciating yourself and so will everybody else so today look around you keep your eyes open for magic moments they're all around and be sure if nothing else today you live with passion today and every day I look forward to seeing you tomorrow [Music]
