Everything Counts - The Compound Effect
everything great and worthwhile in human life is an accumulation of hundreds and sometimes thousands of tiny efforts and sacrifices that nobody ever sees or appreciates every single decision you make throughout the day matters a lot more than you think not showing up on time opening Tik Tok for 30 minutes and even just hitting the snooze button those who succeeded just made more positive long term thinking decisions than everyone else there is no cheat day there is no binge and makeup for it on Monday reality when it comes to the butterfly effect or The Compound Effect everything has a consequence so the answer to this is when you start making Positive Choices and the results are invisible and you're getting no reward for your positive choice you just have to have patience it's like a snowball a snowball starts off very small but it grows as it adds millions and millions of tiny snowflakes and continues to grow as it gathers momentum turning into an avalanche that takes the whole mountain in front of it I don't believe in Talent I'm here because I worked hard my whole life without that work no one in this room would know who I am except my family so to all the kids around the world watching paying attention and aspiring to be like one of us or even on the stage someday put the work in and watch the magical ride you go on at the end of every day you look yourself in the mirror and you ask yourself did I get better today if the answer is yes and you do that for 5 years 10 years 15 years how much better are you going to be are you getting better every single day that's the question and it's just taking small steps you don't try to get get it all done in one day in one week in one year right it's the process of getting better every day and doing that for a period of years that then create the Masterpiece Rome wasn't built in the day we all know that everyone hears that but Rome also didn't fall apart overnight either it took hundreds of years for Rome to reach its peak but it also took time hundreds of years for Rome to Decay and fall apart and that is representative of life because you don't achieve worthwhile goals quickly or easily they take time do it and do it and do it do it and do it that's the hack the hack is go suck and that's what I realized there was a kid who everyone underestimated too small too quiet too ordinary but every day while they laughed he worked in the gym in the books in the shadows he knew one truth effort beats Talent when talent doesn't try years later they asked him how he did it and he just smiled because they never saw the grind it's the quiet hustle that makes the loudest impact everything that you do counts the biggest mistake that people make is they think that only what they want to count counts no when you read a book when you listen to an audio program when you go to a course when you go to bed early and get up early and you work it all counts and it's all going on the plus side of your Ledger but when you watch television waste time hang out fool around and so on all of that as well and it's going on the negative side of your Ledger remember this is that people are time wasters and the great majority of people have no goals they have no priorities they have no plans they have no concern about becoming successful and they think that you're the same they think because their time isn't worth anything that your time isn't worth anything also understand that every choice you make every choice you make ignites The Compound Effect either in the positive or the negative you've heard of the butterfly effect right butterfly flaps its wings one part of the planet on the other side of the planet there's the tsunami that's exactly what happens in your life every choice you make ignites The Butterfly Effect one little Choice ignites a tsunami on the other side 10 20 years down the road either positive or negative every one of them the goal isn't to have the perfect daily routine tomorrow the goal is to still be winning your daily routine in 50 years time if you expand your time Horizon sufficiently you will realize that very very tiny steps can compound the first step has to be incredibly small do that make it so small that you can't say no to it and then what's next and then what's next you must be will to extend yourself to the Limit with no guarantee of success every day you must ask yourself did I do enough nothing's ever going to be given to you everything's going to be earned if you don't go out there and put in the work you don't go out put in the effort one you're not going to get the results but two more importantly you don't deserve it you didn't earn it the story of the bamboo bamboo spends its growth time under the dirt 5 to 7 years and then within a couple weeks it shoots up meters and meters into the sky and people like wo bamboo grows so fast no it didn't it took years you just couldn't see it so when you see growth and you see winds it comes from consistently compounding winds every single day you're given 24 hours that's it the same 24 hours as everyone else the difference how you use them so ask yourself are you making them count most people waste their time waiting waiting for motivation waiting for the right moment but here's the truth that moment will never come you have to create it one choice one step one action at a time one hour of effort today can change your entire week one week of focus can change your month imagine where you'd be in a year if you started right now the pain of trying it fades but the regret of never starting that stays forever be stronger be better be Fearless there's always someone out there's working harder than you I'm haunted by that mother knowing that that someone out there is willing to forgo personal desires and Comforts for go to sleep for go whatever it takes to be better to be the best in life a lot of times a lot of us have that person out there there may not be a name or a face to him but he exists you make sure in life when they think about that person you make sure they put a name in the face to it you make sure the name of the face is yours you do the haunting get in somebody's head on space and all times when you want to quit cuz we're all human you make sure you remember one thing all the times and hours and days you sacrifice to be the best say hard you may have to put in many many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile one of the most powerful forces in life is consistency it's consistency being able to do something in repetition over and over and over again that's how you start big movement that's how you get big results that's how you build a body that's how you build a business is consistency it's small wins every single day the guys that are in Cooperstown the best baseball players to ever play the game they're not the dudes that swung for the fences every single time it's the boring dudes you got on base over and over and over again you want to win really really really big in life you want to build a badass relationship and a badass business be consistent everyone wants to win we all want to be successful but not everyone wants to wake up early stay late and sacrifice and not everyone wants to keep the faith and hold to the vision until those sacrifices pay off every morning when you get up say over and over to yourself do it now do it now do it now I do it now here's an important point if what you are doing is not moving you toward your goals then it's probably moving you away from your goals nothing is neutral well it happens small until it happens big the reinvention occurs in the micro actions that you're taking every single day the tiny little things that perhaps no one even notices that are creating muscle memory around new behaviors tiny little things repeated over time is what produces dramatic change it's like this curve you know it's like this very slow curve until it Asmat toes up and everyone wants to talk about the pivot moment when it goes Skyward but the truth is the real work is in the drudgery correct and the difficult Anonymous work of shoveling every single day in sobriety they say don't leave before the miracle and I take that as a lesson in persistence a successful life is based on a series of successful days and a series of successful days is based on working on a list one step at a time when you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe then you'll be successful I father used to tell me a focused fool can accomplish more than a distracted genius and so your most valuable asset isn't your time it's your attention a man with time and distractions will always lose to a man with a deadline and a singular focus and so it's never been easier to be successful than it is today it's just also never been easier to be distracted here's the problem you don't see how the consequences of that small seemingly insignificant poor choice in the moment has in the moment it doesn't look like it matters at all you don't have that heart attack your face doesn't shrivel up you're not shoved into the unemployment line and your thighs don't turn thunderous oh but you have done it you have activated The Compound Effect and that choice that choice becomes behavior and behavior that repeats becomes a habit it accumulates and then it compounds into Calamity into divorce into career failure and financial ruin the good news is The Compound Effect works in the other direction as well you don't need to radically make over your life you don't need to make Quantum leaps of change you don't need to completely overhaul your personality your character and your life super small seemingly inconsequential adjustments can and will transform everything consistency consistency consistency man that's the name of the game bro don't get much simpler into that if you keep going every single day and don't stop your competition will fall off bro these Ain't cut like you bro they ain't ready for prime time they ain't trying to really get right they take days off this day off that day off they lazy I'm tired to no grind every day one foot in front of the other bro I promise you going to be laughing these folks bro give it a year Watch What Happens no one has ever seen anyone get their together what happened was that person disappear you didn't see them or hear from them for a while and all of a sudden they pop back up and they was looking better feeling better and doing better you like oh you don't hear a tree grow damn the problem is a lot of y'all want to be on the scene you still want to be seen you have to remove yourself from them environments everything that you're doing is either removing you toward the things that you want to accomplish in life the person you want to be the wealth you want to accumulate or it's moving you away everything counts successful people winners use their time well losers do not the core of time management the axle around which The Wheel of Life turns is goals what are your goals what is it that you want to be or to have or to do what is it that you want to accomplish in the next 1 2 3 4 5 years the top 3% in every field have goals the balance of the population have either very vague goals or no goals at all so the question you have to ask yourself is who am I where am I going what do I want to accomplish you got trust in the heart of hearts inside what you're doing what you believe in is a worthy cause a winnable fight see the thing is for many people they've tried the same path you're on and they failed as you walk this journey you're going to see carcasses all over the place of people that didn't quite have it I should inspire you cuz you got further than that person and that person but you're not looking to get further than you're looking to finish how do you know you're on the right path where do you go to ensure that success many will love you for it the majority will hate you because your success makes them feel insufficient in their current Endeavor reminds them of where they could have done it but they came up short and how they didn't revisit it where they went at and failed and failure is what stood they never Revisited it again it's the little monotonous boring that builds the life that you're looking for you have to do this every single day most people cannot do the monotonous day in and day out which is why they can't succeed they'll do it for 10 days they'll do it for two weeks they'll do it for 90 days but they won't do it for their life and doing it for life is what it takes to build this Vision that you have for yourself into a real thing so you want to be normal so you just want to be like everybody else that roams the world not knowing the power that's in them being fine with with being mediocre don't go through life just say you know what I'm okay being average average sucks it does with being average are you not disgusted with being like everybody else being mediocre being average being mundane now if you want to live an ordinary life walk around do your 9 to-5 watch some Netflix or some Hulu at night just chill then that's fine but if you want to be an extraordinary individual and you want to live an extraordinary life if you want to be extraord orary first you have to be disgusted with your current situation and once you're disgusted with your current situation you must commit to changing reminder that if you want to be exceptional you're going to be different from everyone else that's What Makes You exceptional you can't fit in and also be exceptional both have discomfort when you fit in you have internal conflict because you're not being 100% you when you're exceptional you have external conflict because everyone sees you as different pick one when your friend start to say you've changed remember it's because they don't know how to say you've grown know you want everything to happen right now you may have been working for a very long time and at this point you feel like you have earned the result but you have to understand that things aren't going to happen at the speed at which you think they should happen things are going to happen at the speed that they are supposed to happen the only thing you can control are the inputs the work the hours The Blood Sweat and Tears that you put into what you're trying to do you you don't get to control the outputs don't think of your goals as this is where I want to be in 6 months or this is where I want to be in a year instead say this is what I'm willing to do every single day until I get the result that I want and I'm not willing to wait 6 months 1 year 2 years I'm willing to wait as long as it takes why would you not go for it why would you not take a chance at one point in time you got to take a chance on you set a goal to become a millionaire and he said here's why for what it will make of you to achieve it and I got one of the greatest classes in one sentence I've ever received in my life set a goal that will make you stretch that far for what it will make of you to achieve it what a brand new reason for setting goals and here's why the greatest value in life is not what you get the greatest value in life is what you become the average person thinks of terms of morning or afternoon the above average person thinks of hours the successful person thinks of half hours the very successful person thinks in terms of minutes they allocate their time carefully now the only time way that you can do that is what is you've got to keep track of what you're spending your time on 60 70 80% of people are not aware of how they spend their time whatever it is that you're you're pursuing to achieve or or create or Express in the world I think a lot of people back out before that happen happens for me it always comes back to perseverance persistence High pain tolerance and ability to suffer through discomfort a welcoming of doing hard things and willingness really and when you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe then you'll be successful listen to me you got to want to be successful so bad that you forget to eat there's no limits don't let the world ever put limits on you you can do anything you want to do but make sure if you have a vision make sure the vision is written you know make sure you have something to actually Chase and not just hoping and wishing put your plan together and then work the plan don't don't don't work somebody else's plan you have to create your own brand yourself and your brand is whatever you feel like doing whatever your heart is passionate about chasing everything accumulates over time a person who has a great life is a person who's accumulated far more credits more pluses on the credit side than debits on the debit side the most important thing is this to be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you will become there's a quote that I've fallen in love with the magic you are looking for is in the work you're avoiding every single time that there is something in front of me I feel like things aren't coming my way sufficiently quickly I'm not making the progress that I want it's because I'm about over here and there is a large frog in front of me that I need to to eat I need to spend another half day reading a book I need to spend some more time researching online and upping my skills in this particular area I need to do whatever it is don't cry to give up cry to keep going don't cry to quit you already in pain you already hurt get a reward from it don't go to sleep until you succeed we all know the things that we need to do so may having those small wins every single day you're not going to become a national champion on day one you're not going to be a world champion on day one you're not going to be the CEO on day one you're not going to be a Millionaire on day one but from day one till day 1,000 doing the small things right every single day and never cutting Corners those small little decisions those small little yeses those small little um accomplishments add up to the big things things can happen very very fast if you've put enough if you've laid enough of a foundation the foundation that you're building is the life that you're trying to accomplish that is that is what it is bu so it's just doing the things right and everybody knows we we can we can ask and seek for all these answers but really we all know the right things to do you wake up you do the right thing you go to bed you wake up you do the right thing and it's those those things done every single day compounding on themselves and eventually you wake up and say holy cow look where I'm at and look what I've built and I never really took a lot of time to to Pat myself on the back I just kept moving forward you see it's about 3:00 in the morning and there's not a car or a person Insight if you pan over here it's the same thing not a car or a person Insight people want to know where I find my strength at where I get my strength I get it from a lot of places but right now this morning I'm getting it from there's not a that's up there's not a car there's not a person everybody's in their bed sleep dreading that it's a Monday hate this a Monday and I'm loving it I'm loving that where everybody's getting weaker I'm getting stronger you get better by coming out here and get after every dag on day stay hard all men are created equal some work harder in pre-season I'm going to say it again because you might have missed it all men are created equal some work harder in pre-season I will build a prototype but I'll do it perfectly or I don't do it are you familiar with the saying perfect is the enemy of good well good enough is the enemy of humanity when you start stacking little winds day after day hour after hour month after month week after week you start building a reputation with yourself you tell your subconscious mind that when I make a promise to myself I keep it
Think and GROW RICH
Think and grow rich. Think and grow rich. Success is something you attract, not something you pursue. Success is looking for a good place to stay. So instead of going after it, you work on yourself. Personal development. Why is it that people are successful? It's simply this. The rich get richer, the poor get poor. Why? It's because the rich think about wealth and affluence all the time. And what do the poor think about? The poor think about lack, loss, and limitations. Risk, danger, fear, failure all the time. Think and grow rich. Think and grow rich. Think and grow rich. You become what you think about. And here's the interesting thing. You can choose. Choose what you think about. Choose with your business. Choose what you're aiming at. With your leadership, choose what you're aiming at with your team. Choose. Help them choose. The act of intentionality is so freaking powerful. It's unbelievable. Henry Ford said, "If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." I am amazed at the things we don't do because we have this little tiny bit of fear that offsets all the other data and all the other evidence in our life that causes us to not go do something cuz we just don't believe. And it's weird when you start to believe, you become what you think about. Never say you can't do it. Say, "I haven't done it yet. I haven't done it yet." And that's true with everything. It's like there's nothing that you can't do. You may not have done it yet. We don't know if you can do it or not until you really practice and then you find out if you can do it or not or how well you can do it. Money is not our issue. The mindset of money is our issue. If you don't have a mindset for money, then trading stocks and options wouldn't be the game for you because you're not going to know how to manage a risk. You're not going to have the discipline to be able to stay out of the market when necessary. You're not understanding money in its totality. So when you got the mindset of money coupled with the skill of making money, this is what equals a wealthy person. This is what allows a person to be able to build wealth throughout their generations. You cannot have what you're not willing to become vibrationally. If you do get it, you'll lose it. This is why people they'll win the lotteryies, they lose everything. They'll get a modicum of success but can't hold on to it because inside they weren't vibrationally aligned. They really hadn't become it. So you can temporarily manipulate and get things but to have it completely you have to lift your vibration and become that you can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are. And of course the other side of the coin reads unless you change how you are you'll always have what you got. I have found in my experience that income does not far exceed personal development. Now sometimes income takes a lucky jump but sure enough unless you grow out where it is it'll usually come back where you are. Life has strange ways. If somebody hands you a million dollars, best you become a millionaire quickly, so you get to keep the money. Otherwise, sure enough, it'll disappear. Somebody once said, "If you took all the money in the world, divided it up equally among everybody, it would soon all be back in the same pockets." Incredible. Money does not exist. Did you know that? I learned that years ago from a very wealthy man. I was free from money that day. He says, "Money is an idea. It's in your head. It's an idea. You are supposed to work for purpose, not money. If you find your purpose, money will find you. If you're not in your purpose, you haven't found your purpose, you're still working for money. Money is your cause. Think and grow rich. If you can focus on building something for you, you know, your life will be way better. So, I started down that journey because at the end of the day, thoughts are things. What you think about truly becomes your reality. One of the most magnificent things that I've discovered in the 46 years I've been on this earth is that genuinely whatever reality you create in your mind, you can eventually walk towards and exist in. That's amazing because I I I believe we're create and I believe that we can cocreate. A lot of people think that's hocus pocus, but one like my mentor said, he said, "No, it's it's hocus focus." Wow. So, if you focus on it for real, like really focus on a particular destination that you want to get to and then you're willing to put in the work every day consistently, eventually you can get there. Everything is possible in your life when you believe. When you believe, everything is possible. What come out your mouth is what's going to come back to you. It's the law of attraction. All men are dogs. You f to meet all of them. I never get nobody. You're not. I can't lose this weight. You sure ain't. I'm going to get fit this year. Strong possibility. I'll never be rich. Promise you you won't. I'mma be rich one day. Strong possibility. It's how it works, man. It is the law of attraction. The moment you say it, you begin the change. It's the process. If you think big, you'll be big. If you think small, you'll be small. A negative mental attitude can bring you nothing but failure. Remember always, you are where you are and what you are because of your mental attitude in which you relate yourself to other people. Remember also your mental attitude is the one and the only thing over which you have complete control. Success is something which has to be planned and success is something which has to be earned. Anything that you can hold in your mind on a continuing basis, you can be, have or do. You will become what you think about. Your only job is to make a very very clear decision about the person you want to be, the things that you want to have, the goals that you want to accomplish. And then make sure that you feed your mind continuously day by day, week by week, hour by hour with words, pictures, images, ideas, thoughts, and information consistent with your goals and your ideals. You cannot have wealth in your material world until you first visualize the wealth in your mind. If you get a picture of what you really want, then it's just a matter of time until you have it. And keep reminding yourself that you have tremendous reservoirs of potential within you and therefore you are quite capable of doing anything you set your mind to. You really can. Now all you must do is figure out how you can do it, not whether you can or not. About 5 years ago, I met a wise and wealthy man who had spent his entire life studying success. And he'd reached a clear conclusion concerning the reason for success in life and especially in business. He's dead now, but I'll never forget what he told me. He said the key to success was to set a goal and then to stay with it until you achieve success in at least one important thing. He said that your subconscious mind will then accept that success experience and store it as a pattern like a template and then your from then on your subconscious will drive you and direct you and guide you to repeat the pattern of success in other things that you attempt. Another way of saying it is that nothing succeeds like success. Psychologists have demonstrated that achievement brings you a natural high once you've experienced your first great success. And not only you unconsciously programmed to repeat it, but nothing else will ever give you the same wonderful sense of satisfaction. When you realize how powerful your mind is, you can create anything you want. This is the goal, the main thing of being alive is learning how to create. And now when the veil is thinning, we're moving into this new earth. We're into the shifting. We're bringing all these abilities back. This is what you're supposed to learn how to do. This is your movie. So, you are the producer, director, and actor in your own play. You're also the script writer, but the script isn't written. It's written as you go along. You can change it anytime you want. You can create anything. You know the only difference in steam and ice is the state of vibration of the water or the H2O. Do you know the only difference in where you are versus where you want to go is your state of vibration? Do you know that everything to get you there is already here and it always has been? Do you know when you take an idea and you impregnate it over and over again, you impregnate that idea into one cell? When you impregnate that idea into the cell, that cell is dividing one into two, two into four, four into eight, and the process goes on at the rate of 50,000 cells per second. And the more and more you act on it, even though you don't feel good about it, but you work with the idea, you start to develop this change in vibration, but what is really happening is you're impregnating the cells with the characteristic or the idea. What we need to do is we need to constantly think about where we're going, what we want to do, and we start to increase our level of thinking by vibration, and we begin to attract thoughts of a like nature that'll move us in that direction. How badly do you want what you want? How badly do you want it? Or do you want it at all? You see, there's an awful lot of people who want an awful lot of things, but how badly do they want it? If you want it so badly, if you want it with tremendous intensity of desire, there's really nothing in the world that can stop you from getting it. There's an interesting story was told by about Socrates and Socrates was talking to one of his students and the student said, "I am hungry for knowledge. What can I do to increase my knowledge?" And Socrates said, "Knowledge is something that is readily available and easy to get if you want it bad enough." He said, "Oh," he said, "I'm sure I want it badly enough." And Socrates said, "Come with and he walked him offshore into uh the ocean and walked him offshore into the AGN Sea and they got up about 3 or 4 feet and Socrates is a very very strong man grabbed the young man and put his head under the water and the young man began to struggle and struggle and struggle and finally became incredibly frantic and finally brought him up and he said now what did you want while you were under the water and he said all I wanted was air. He said all I could think of in the whole world was air. He said when you want knowledge with the same intensity that you wanted that oxygen you will get all the knowledge that you could desire and when you want anything with great intensity if you have the desire you'll get it. This is the millionaire mindset. Your subconscious mind hears what you tell it to hear and sees what you make it see. For example, if you're constantly thinking, "I'm tired of being broke." Your subconscious mind will prove you right. It hears, "I'm tired and broke." And it works all day and night to make it true. Your words are spells. That's why you spell words. They're magical. Your tongue can slay you. Hold it if you don't know how to use it. Stay small enough long enough, you'll be big enough soon enough. See you at the top because the bottom is too crowded. But we never look down on anybody unless we're willing to help them up. Believing that you can is way more profitable than believing that you can't. Successful people are always too busy doing what the other guys are still talking about. Successful people are always willing to do what the other guys are not willing to do. Your friends are And you made 25 grand last month, they're not going to believe you. The them parents don't like the life you lead. You mom and dad. See how it feels when you're making their payments. Set a goal to become a millionaire. Here's why. For what it will make of you to achieve it. Set a goal that'll make you stretch that far for what it will make of you to achieve it. Today, it's easier to make money than ever before. You are on your way to having your first million dollars in the bank and all of your bills paid. Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves. They want to tell you you can do it. You want something, go get it. Period. Start working for yourself. Sky's the limit. What is the one thing that people who made a million dollars that they did that I guarantee you are not doing? It is called work. They worked 12 to 14 to 16 hours a day, 7 days a week on making money. They had an obsession with making money. That's all they thought about. They had singular focus. They had singleness of purpose. And I guarantee you don't do that because you want to live a balanced life. Well, I'm sorry, but people who succeed in life don't live a balanced life. It is a fantasy. It is a myth. If you say, "I want to live a balanced life and and make millions." Welcome to Fantasy Island. If you want to unlock your potential, if you want to go straight to the stars, you have to use the law of substitution to keep your mind on what you want. Use the law of concentration to dwell continually on the results you desire. Be solution centered rather than problem centered. Be goal centered rather than los centered. And the law of subconscious activity will begin to adjust your words, your actions, your feelings, your emotions, and everything to the point where you will draw into your life the people and circumstances that will harmonize with it. Now, what's the most powerful thing you can do? It's very simply this is success begins with taking purposeful systematic control of the cons content of your conscious mind. Purposeful systematic control of the content of your conscious mind. Everything comes back to the law of control. Is there any better feeling than being locked in? No. Like when you are locked in and you are, you know, you're taking and you're in a rhythm and every day you're knocking it down. You never miss a step. Like you go to bed feeling great. You wake up feeling inspired. You go in the gym with energy, right? Like that's the best way to live. But I promise you, bro, you have so much potential. If you literally just took it and put it in one place, you could literally change your life. Truly believe that if you put your 100% effort into something, then you can't lose. God knows if you deserve the results. And if you truly try, you truly commit yourself 100% to something. I don't see how you can fail it. But I don't think you can. That I refuse. I completely refuse. You can't fail at it. You said you were going to do it this year, but you didn't. So, what's going to be different about this year? What kind of person are you going to actually become in order to achieve what the you want to achieve? There's a law in physics that basically says that when you have energy that is vibrating at a particular frequency within 17 seconds other energy like that will be attracted to it. So if I'm having a positive thought or a negative thought then what happens is that energy is attracted to it. I have other thoughts that are like that thought. So if you do that 17 seconds, 17 seconds, 17 or 68 seconds, then momentum begins to occur. So let's say that that I'm normally all of our emotions have a frequency to it. So if I'm in despair or anger or worry, all of those are lower denser frequencies. You get into things like contentment, happiness, uh joy, love, those are higher faster frequencies. Let's say that I normally live in contentment and that's my set point cuz that that's where I live. I think about that all the time. That's what my makeup is. That sort of thing. So, I'm driving down the highway. All of a sudden, a car cuts me off and I get angry. So, now I'm in the lower, denser frequencies. And so, then I go back to the office and I'm telling all my colleagues, you know, here's here's what happened. You know, this knucklehead cut me off. Go home, tell my wife, what am I doing? I'm vibrating angry energy. I'm attracting into my world whatever it is that I'm vibrating. So, where my thoughts are, that's what's creating my reality. It is easier to make money than ever before. You can make more money faster today than ever before in history. Why aren't more people making money? Wealthy people show initiative. Broke people don't. The faster you are, the more money you will make. Your bank account is actually a reflection of how fast you move. I was sitting with one of my mentors, Bill Perkins. I asked him, "Bill, you're worth a lot of money. You've made hundreds of millions of dollars. why do you think you've been so successful? And he kind of looked at me and he thought for a second and he said, I move really fast. By the time somebody else has thought about an idea, taken it to investment committee, I've already started, made three mistakes, and found a better way. Now, y'all look money hungry, and that's good. Anybody tells you money is the root of all evil doesn't have any. A broke person thinks that there's a limit to opportunity and a limit to the amount of money out there. that there's a finite resource of money. They think I just don't have opportunities. I've missed the opportunities. There's this limiting belief around money that that poor or broke people have. Rich people on the other hand understand this that money is a renewable resource. Which means if they lose all their money today, it's no problem. They can create more. Do you understand this? Do you think that you can create as much money as you want? You don't do you working jobs we hate so we can buy we don't need when you really want something just in my life experience and seeing seeing other people seeing myself seeing other people that like made stuff happens like man when you really want something you going to find a way ultimately every single day is about winning that battle against yourself and it might not be today or next year or 5 years or 10 years but this thing takes priority and precedent over all other things. You have to want it. You have to want to be better. When you realize you have to make this work or you're falling on your face, it's it's a different kind of grind, a different kind of mentality, a different kind of person, a different side of you that you've never seen before that comes out when you go all in. Everybody has the desire to do something, but they don't have the they don't know how to really complete the process of dedicating themselves and having the discipline to do it. Complete delusion. You got to believe the delusion because it's only delusional until it works. So, is it really delusional? You have to be crazy enough to think that it's possible. That's how you do something worthwhile. That's how you beat the odds. You have to believe it's possible. Okay? And when you believe something is possible, everything else will figure itself out. If you can see it here and you have the courage enough to speak it, it will happen. The power of the mind. People don't understand. We still don't understand. I still don't understand how powerful it is. I'm still learning. But I know one thing is I can make things happen. We don't get in life a reflection of what we want cuz what we want we lack. But we always get a reflection of who we are being. And who we are being is representative of our vibration. How we're thinking, feeling, and acting. So becoming aware of those three things and becoming aware of where the attachments are from childhood, where the attachments are from the past is where the freedom really begins. Much of my journey has been just becoming aware of these attachments. Letting them go. Once you let that go, things naturally begin to align. And as a result of that alignment, there's more synchronicity. You're in the right place at the right time. You're feeling higher vibrational emotions where you could literally feel high a majority of the time without using substances. And once you're aware that that's a potential, then be
What Are the Benefits of Practicing Patience?
It says patience, the thing that goes beyond hustle and hard work. The discipline of patience, the thing that goes beyond hustle and hard work, right? Because we all talk about hustle. We talk about working hard. We talk about grinding this, that, and the third. But nobody talks to you about patience. Nobody speaks about that patience because in the patience, that's where you going to make it or you going to break, right? Patience. Patience is a skill we must master. Patience is one of the most valuable skills a human being must master. In order to see any glimpses of change, it takes about 21 days. Right? The second one is 90 days. I'm like, "Okay, first week, no results. Second week, no results. Third week, no results. Fourth week, no results. Fifth week, a little bit of results. Sixth week, a little bit of results. Seven week a little bit of results. It's not really working. Let me drop it." Uh-uh. 90 days. That's only 7 weeks. 8 weeks. 9 weeks. 10. 11. 12. 13th week. Bam. Oh, this works. The bigger the change you want to make, the longer it takes. Patience. Is it important? Absolutely. This day and age, everybody wants something immediately. You know, there's a saying, it took me 10 years to to become an overnight uh success. And that's true. Everything takes time. But success is making the right small decisions over and over again over time, and you'll be successful. Failure is the opposite. making small wrong decisions over time and then you become unsuccessful. So just remember those things and every day attempt to be 1% better than you were yesterday. Don't compare yourself to anyone else than you were yesterday. You set yourself on that trajectory and you'll be moving in the right direction. Patience is a virtue. I suppose it probably is. that I think patience, real patience, is an expression of deep understanding. You see, everything happens when it's supposed to happen. Everything in this universe happens by law. We set targets and we need things to happen. We need something to come or someone to do something. And frequently we get frustrated because it isn't happening when we think it should happen. Our problem is we're not thinking. We believe we're in charge. We are not in charge. We are in charge of building the idea and holding the idea. Everything else happens automatic. It happens by law. All ideas have a gestation or an incubation period. I'm told when we plant a carrot in the area of the world that I live, it takes approximately 70 days for that carrot to grow. Patience is the secret weapon of the ambitious. when you're ambitious, when you're hungry, when you want to prove them wrong, which is actually a pretty negative energy, or when you you want to prove it to yourself, which I think is a very positive energy. Patience is an incredibly important component when you're ambitious, when you're hungry, when you're tenacious, when you want it, because so many people I know, you know, are just in a place where they want it so fast that they cut corners and make mistakes. Patience is a sign of wisdom. How do you become more patient? Become more wise. Wise means I'm not looking just at the moment. I'm looking ahead. I'm looking into the future. What will this activity result in? What will be the outcome 5 years from now, 10 years from now? That's wisdom. Wisdom is patience. Let things develop. Don't rush your way through life. Things take time. I don't know why. Why can't things just happen instantaneously? Because if it's good, why not now? It's a good question. But the fact is things take time. And only with time will it turn out to be what it's meant to be. If you rush, you ruin even good things. Every baker can tell you that. Every chef will tell you that. If you rush it, you ruin it. So have a little wisdom and look at the picture longterm, not just immediate gratification. It's so important that you you understand you must be patient with people. You must be patient with plans. You must be patient with, you know, everything. You you can't get what you want right away. It just doesn't work that way. People that are patient are incredibly effective. You don't always need more power as much as you need more patience. Patience. 18 years. Patience. Everything's not supposed to work out in your 20s. Everything's not supposed to work out in your 30s. If you're talking about finances, most billionaires became billionaires in at least in their late 50s. So, if it doesn't happen today, it doesn't mean that God said no. Let me say it this way. Delayed does not mean denied. You don't always need more power as much as you need more patience. It is called aggressive patience. You have to understand that not only is it going to take time. So you have to be patient but also during the time that you are waiting, you have to be executing day after day after day after day as if you can will and force this goal into reality. Because when people hear be patient, you know what they hear? sit in your chair, kick your feet up on the desk, and it'll just happen. That is not how it works. You have to come in, you have to dedicate yourself. You have to execute day after day after day after day at the highest level that you possibly can for as long as you can. And still, it's going to take time. You can't outwork the time. Patience. Yeah. Like patience is the key, you know. But um sometimes we just want we want we want and we want it now. But it's like the real wasn't even built the same day God took his time with the real, you know, he took his time with people, took his time with animals and stuff like that. It's a process as you're as you're navigating this thing that we call life. So many different times people don't even give themselves the grace because they want everything right now. And that's not how life is. And put that time in. Stop trying to rush. So you trying to rush yourself getting that instant gratification. That's going to delay your glory. Relax, but grind hard. That's the key. And every step of the way, you going to learn more and more and more. The code that you can't seem to crack, that successful people have cracked, is that they are patient. I think so many of you forget that whilst you were trying to achieve things, you have never experienced this before. You've never been this version of yourself that's so ambitious. Previously, you stayed within your comfort zone and you know who that person is. But this ambitious person that's trying to go out and live their life and achieve their dreams, you never been this person. So, you need to be patient with this person. Success is down to two things. There's consistency and it is patience. Understanding that small steps every day will get you to where you want to go, providing you make those steps consistently. So, you need to set out a plan and execute every single day. Be patient with yourself during it. Don't get yourself down where you don't see the results straight away because they are coming. You have set this path in motion. Everything's going to work out. Be patient with yourself. Enjoy the process and I will see you on the other side. Sometimes people ask me and what is the key for the power? The key for the power is patience. You need patience for things to grow, for wealth, for power, for influence. Nothing comes fast and true. You need patience for reacting to the struggles of life. Things will go wrong. People will make you angry. You need patience with them and yourself. If you don't have patience, you will often decide too fast and too stupid. You will act out from anger and hate. So when I have been insulted, I count to 10 calming my breath and then I move. And when my woman is getting crazy, I count to 10 calming my breath and then I engage. And when I suffered the grim loss in business, I count to 100. Calming my breath and then I strike. When you're willing to fail again and again and again, when you make up your mind to become unstoppable, when you make up your mind to become a no matter what person, that will then give birth to a part of yourself that you don't know right now. You have to be an unreasonable person who's not looking at and judging the circumstances such as you see them. In order to do something you have never done, you got to become someone you've never been. We all have greatness within us. But greatness is not our destiny. It is a choice that we have to make consciously to put ourselves outside of our comfort zones to stretch and to develop ourselves and have in our environment people we can learn from and grow from that will hold us to a higher standard and that will always challenge us to go higher. Remember to be patient when you're becoming someone that you've never been before. Because the person that you are growing into doesn't have a map yet. And some days you're going to feel like you're moving backwards. And that's okay because growth isn't always linear. Your new self is literally being born in moments that you don't even notice. So, I want you to be gentle with the in between version of yourself because becoming the person you're meant to be is going to take some time. A lot of people nowadays are really, really impatient. And the reason, I think, is we're so used to the power of our phones, of our computers, that we think everything should be happening quickly and instantly. If we have to wait five seconds to get a piece of information on the internet, we think, "Oh my god, it's taking so long. It's takes so long to download." Whereas 20, 30 years ago, you would have had to go to the library. You would have to spend an hour to do it. You learned how to develop patience to find things. But people are so impatient because everything is so quick and easy and powerful right now. So, you want to be able to slow things down. You want to have the ability to say, "If it's going to take me an hour to learn this, if I have to spend time practicing something that's tedious, I'm okay with it. I like the slowness. I actually embrace the pain that's involved." So, learning anything, developing any skill involves pain. Many of us are suffering because we quit on ourselves. We quit on our physical fitness. We quit reading books. We quit wanting to grow. We quit challenging ourselves. We quit wanting more out of life. You know why you quit? You got impatient. You wanted everything that that this life had for you. You wanted it when you wanted, but you couldn't have it. So, you just quit. And now you're trying to keep your head above water. You're in and out of the doctor every other week. You don't have any direction. You don't have a mission. You don't have a standard. But it's never too late. You guys need to stop underestimating the power of patience. I feel like nowadays nobody ever has patience. It's all purely just because of these like short forms of dopamine that we can get whenever the we want and every single person is addicted to it. The only thing that sucks about that, you know, it would be great if there were benefits. The only thing that sucks is that good things take a long time. Any difficult skill that makes you a lot of money or for you to be the best at, it's going to take you a long ass time. And now there's just people that are just not willing to do that because they have these short forms of dopamine. But as we know, short forms of dopamine, they don't typically end up fulfilling us in terms of like full happiness, right? It's just like, oh, I feel empty inside, so boom, Tik Tok or boom, Instagram reels or boom, let me yank the chicken. And then it's just this endless cycle of like, oh, my life sucks and then boom. versus if we had patience we could just go through one whole period of my life sucks while working on something then your life wouldn't other part that I want to say as an answer to you is as you begin to find your way of working and you and you bump into something you go I can't make this work be gentle with yourself you don't yell at a bud because it isn't a flower yet it's going to be a flower but it opens when it's time for it to open if you're working on something that is beyond your ability at the moment. It doesn't mean it will be beyond your ability in a month, but at the moment, it's going to frustrate the hell out of you. Acknowledge it and go, I'm not getting this. I'm not achieving what I want to achieve right now. Tomorrow, I'll make another choice tomorrow. I'll I'll I'll look at one of these elements another way or I need to go out and observe something that is this in life and see if I can learn something from that. The more you raise your vibration, the more you understand the power of patience. And patience, without patience, there is no power. You have no control. Right? And that is the key to manifestation. This is why your manifestations aren't coming through. This is why you feel like, man, I've been thinking about it. I've been talking positive, but yet still I don't see I don't see the proof. is because you lack patience. And the reason why you lack patience is because we've grown to love instant gratification. We want things now, right? And the way social media is nowadays, you just see the highlights, right? You don't really see the behind the scenes and stuff like that. And the thing is, it ruins our patience. When you have patience, you have power. When you have power, you can create the life that you want. You feel me? It takes time. It's not going to happen right away. And depending on the manifestation and the size of the manifestation, it might take longer than others, right? So, you have to enjoy the process because one thing you got to realize, life is going to test you, right? Life is going to test to see if you really believe if you really have complete faith in that inner knowing in what your reality that you want to be, right? It's going to it's going to question you, right? It's going to drive you crazy sometimes. You're going to be like, "Damn, like I've been working so hard, but like I don't see no results." But trust me, every single action has been stacking up. It's a compound effect. You feel me? Success comes to the ones who are patient. I've come to realize how important it is to just be more patient with yourself when you're growing. We expect instant results, have immediate growth, and make no mistakes. But everything meaningful in life takes time. The skills you're learning, the process of healing, the relationships that you're in, or self-discovery. They all take time, and you'll only be disappointed if you try to rush the process because real change does not happen overnight. I feel like it's so easy to feel that you're not doing things enough, you're not fast enough, or you're not successful enough. But life isn't really a race. You're not falling behind. Just because you see someone who's successful at like 21 online, that doesn't automatically make your life a failure. You're simply on your timeline. And the more patient you are with yourself, the more space you give yourself to grow into the person that you're meant to become. Just the fact that you're waking up every morning and having another day to live is already a victory. Somewhere out there, someone's last day was yesterday. And yet here you are breathing alive with time still on your side. That in itself is huge because not everyone gets that chance. So be more patient and give yourself credit for simply making it this far, forgetting through the things you thought you couldn't and for being here. When you stop expecting yourself to know everything right away, it allows you to keep showing up without doubting yourself all the time. Patient with yourself. You'll be up one day and down the next. You'll be pleased one day and displeased the next. You'll be peaceful one day and very angry the next. But be patient with yourself because God is not through with you yet. Don't look in the mirror and talk down to you. Oh man, you a no good. Yeah, that's true. But that's not you. That's the enemy in you. Selfacusing spirit. When that's whipping you like that, just say, "Okay, if you will forgive me and have mercy on me and strengthen me, I'll strive harder tomorrow to be better." Most of life is just ordinary. You know, you got to learn how to be happy alone. You got to be happy a little bored. You got to be you got to be happy when things are hard. You got to learn how to be satisfied when you failed, and things don't go your way. cuz all of that get keeps you getting up. But I think there are a lot of young people who are searching for this impossible feeling of continuous happiness. Feeling like you have no idea what you're doing is the price of entry to achieving your dreams. Every big dream starts with fear, doubt, and the sense that you're completely unqualified. But that's not a sign to stop. That's part of the process. The feeling of not knowing what you're doing. That's the stretch. That's the part where you grow. Everyone who ever built something great once felt exactly like you do right now. Lost, scared, but still moving anyway. If you're waiting to feel ready, you will wait forever. Nobody feels ready. You just start. You stumble and one day you realize you are doing the thing you thought you couldn't. So don't run away from fear or uncertainty because fear means you're in the right place. So keep going. You cannot wish for a strong character and an easy life. Each is the price of the other. The world belongs to those who can continue to work without seeing the result of their work. Continue to do without seeing the result of their doing. And it's really the person who can do that for the longest period of time. And that's usually because they're still getting leading indicators. It's just that it's amounting to a much bigger mountain. And so like if you want to do big [ __ ] it takes a way longer period of time because the the easy [ __ ] the little hills, everyone conquers really quickly. You have to be patient. You don't got to make no moves. You ain't playing checkers, you playing chess. It take years for some moves to be made. God will show you. If you want to know, just pray. Get close to him. God, show me. Show me. A lot of us delay our happiness. When I get to this level, when I get my degree, when I get the kids, when I get married, I'm going to be happy. Enjoy the journey. Enjoy the whole step, the whole process, every day that you get up to strive for whatever it is you're after. You know, I'm a goal oriented guy, but you don't celebrate when you get to the finish line. Celebrate all along the way. Celebrate all along the way. One characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. And it wasn't social intelligence, wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't IQ. It was grit. Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future day in day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years and working really hard to make that future a reality.
