1
00:00:08,354 --> 00:00:10,664
Well, Hey everybody,

00:00:13,094 --> 00:00:14,144
Really good to have you on board.

button makes a huge difference.

And as always, I would love you to
share this with family and friends.

8
00:00:22,724 --> 00:00:25,094
I had some lovely feedback
the last few days.

9
00:00:25,544 --> 00:00:28,184
I put it on an email yesterday,
just saying if you've got particular

00:00:28,184 --> 00:00:31,634

You can email me direct

What's going on in your life?

14
00:00:41,684 --> 00:00:43,124
What are the challenges you're facing?

15
00:00:43,634 --> 00:00:46,334
You know, often, uh, I just get these
emails from people about, you know,

16
00:00:46,334 --> 00:00:47,894
this is difficult, this is difficult.

17
00:00:47,894 --> 00:00:50,024
So the next few episodes are
gonna really be covering.

18
00:00:50,024 --> 00:00:54,134
Uh, some of the very real challenges that
we face, uh, last bit of housekeeping.

19
00:00:54,134 --> 00:00:55,424
Please go and check.

20
00:00:55,754 --> 00:00:59,384

find a bunch of links to coaching.

21
00:00:59,384 --> 00:01:00,164
To speaking.

You can get free.

23
00:01:01,334 --> 00:01:02,864
Uh, E-copy of my book.

24
00:01:02,864 --> 00:01:03,554
It's all there for you.

25
00:01:03,554 --> 00:01:04,904
So go and check out those links.

26
00:01:05,904 --> 00:01:10,014
Today, my friend, we are going to be
talking about a really important topic.

27
00:01:10,464 --> 00:01:13,734
It's the topic of the toughest
critic that you are ever gonna face.

28
00:01:13,734 --> 00:01:15,774
The toughest challenge that
you're ever going to face.

29
00:01:16,314 --> 00:01:19,824
What I think is probably the biggest
single opponent you will ever face.

30
00:01:19,854 --> 00:01:24,204
I believe we are living in a world
right now where so much is externalized.

31
00:01:24,444 --> 00:01:25,854
The problems that we have.

32
00:01:26,454 --> 00:01:29,694
Or that we perceive we have
as so externalized in terms

33
00:01:29,694 --> 00:01:31,164
of we blame the economy.

34
00:01:31,164 --> 00:01:32,244
We blame the government.

35
00:01:32,244 --> 00:01:34,734
We just think, well, if only
our political party got in, then

36
00:01:34,734 --> 00:01:36,024
everything would be different.

37
00:01:37,584 --> 00:01:41,784
If I preferred political party was
in power unicorns and rainbows and

38
00:01:41,814 --> 00:01:45,774
little Pixies would be holding hands,
dancing down the street together,

39
00:01:46,134 --> 00:01:48,024
and money would fall from the sky.

40
00:01:48,084 --> 00:01:49,914
What have you know anything
about modern economics money?

41
00:01:49,944 --> 00:01:51,354
Pretty much is falling from the sky.

42
00:01:51,714 --> 00:01:52,104
If you are.

43
00:01:52,674 --> 00:01:56,334
If you have the right connections, but,
uh, we just externalize everything, right?

44
00:01:56,334 --> 00:01:56,724
It's like,

45
00:01:57,294 --> 00:01:58,254
Oh, it's the environment.

46
00:01:58,254 --> 00:01:58,854
It's the weather.

47
00:01:58,854 --> 00:01:59,334
It's this?

48
00:01:59,364 --> 00:01:59,664
It's that?

49
00:02:00,084 --> 00:02:00,864
I'll make change.

50
00:02:01,134 --> 00:02:04,464
When this happens or this external
problem is fixed, it is so easy.

51
00:02:04,464 --> 00:02:05,004
My friend.

52
00:02:05,424 --> 00:02:07,434
To fall into the trap, the challenge.

53
00:02:08,064 --> 00:02:12,264
Of believing that if only X was different
than our life would be radically better.

54
00:02:12,894 --> 00:02:14,424
What I want to suggest in this episode.

55
00:02:14,934 --> 00:02:19,194
Is based on a great deal of life
experience, thinking, reading, and

56
00:02:19,194 --> 00:02:24,324
observing some of the greatest people
in history and in current modern life.

57
00:02:24,774 --> 00:02:26,754
I want to suggest that the
greatest opponent, the greatest

58
00:02:26,754 --> 00:02:29,544
critical always be internal.

59
00:02:29,544 --> 00:02:30,444
What do I mean?

60
00:02:30,924 --> 00:02:31,854
Friends think about it.

61
00:02:32,304 --> 00:02:35,274
Your internal dialogue,
your beliefs about yourself.

62
00:02:35,664 --> 00:02:37,734
Uh, what you think you can achieve?

63
00:02:37,794 --> 00:02:39,564
What do you think you can
change about yourself?

64
00:02:39,594 --> 00:02:41,664
What do you think you
can affect in the world?

65
00:02:42,024 --> 00:02:44,124
This is the classic learn
helplessness model, right?

66
00:02:44,124 --> 00:02:48,054
Like as soon as people believe that they
really can't change or affect anything.

67
00:02:48,594 --> 00:02:51,444
They collapse into learned
helplessness, which leads to

68
00:02:51,444 --> 00:02:53,394
depression, despair, and hopelessness.

69
00:02:54,024 --> 00:02:57,834
So this opponent that we have is
existing in our consciousness.

70
00:02:57,864 --> 00:02:59,214
It's existing in our psyche.

71
00:02:59,664 --> 00:03:01,494
It's been there your entire life.

72
00:03:02,214 --> 00:03:05,874
We don't need to delve too deeply into
the roots today, but it's there, right?

73
00:03:05,874 --> 00:03:08,484
It's this voice that says,
oh, you always do that.

74
00:03:08,664 --> 00:03:11,874
Or the voice that says, you know,
Instead of saying, you always do that.

75
00:03:11,904 --> 00:03:13,734
It says, oh, you could never do that.

76
00:03:13,764 --> 00:03:15,204
I mean, you lose both ways, right?

77
00:03:15,414 --> 00:03:16,584
Tells you, you can't do this.

78
00:03:16,584 --> 00:03:17,964
And it tells you always do this.

79
00:03:18,804 --> 00:03:19,764
We all hear it right now.

80
00:03:19,764 --> 00:03:22,764
It's different for each of us,
depending on how we were raised and

81
00:03:22,764 --> 00:03:25,824
childhood experiences and trauma
and all sorts of different factors.

82
00:03:26,454 --> 00:03:29,514
You know, no matter where it came from,
what I really want to suggest to you is

83
00:03:29,514 --> 00:03:31,104
that we can do a great deal about this.

84
00:03:31,104 --> 00:03:32,364
Now, the first thing is always.

85
00:03:32,994 --> 00:03:34,074
Is to get conscious, right?

86
00:03:34,074 --> 00:03:35,154
How many times do you hear me say that?

87
00:03:35,154 --> 00:03:35,934
But to get conscious.

88
00:03:36,444 --> 00:03:38,244
We've got to hear that internal dialogue.

89
00:03:38,274 --> 00:03:41,934
And you must begin to realize
that you have an incredible

90
00:03:42,384 --> 00:03:44,664
amount of agency by agency.

91
00:03:44,664 --> 00:03:47,004
I simply mean you have
the ability to notice.

92
00:03:47,664 --> 00:03:48,474
To challenge.

93
00:03:49,044 --> 00:03:49,464
Two.

94
00:03:50,004 --> 00:03:53,184
Delete a lot of what's going
on inside your head and just

95
00:03:53,184 --> 00:03:54,444
catch yourself in the act.

96
00:03:54,924 --> 00:03:57,534
You know, I, I, uh, I've been on
a course for the last four days as

97
00:03:57,534 --> 00:04:00,834
many of, you know, It's a, it's a
very sort of high level course out

98
00:04:00,834 --> 00:04:03,114
of the U S they don't record it.

99
00:04:03,114 --> 00:04:06,234
So you've got to do it live and,
uh, it runs for 14 hours a day.

100
00:04:06,234 --> 00:04:07,164
It starts at midnight.

101
00:04:07,944 --> 00:04:11,604
And so I basically slept off kind
of two and a half hours sleep

102
00:04:11,604 --> 00:04:12,924
a day for the last four days.

103
00:04:12,954 --> 00:04:16,554
And today I've got to be out of the
studio and I got a really busy day.

104
00:04:16,974 --> 00:04:21,294
So, of course I woke up this morning and,
uh, around 5:00 AM and I'm like, oh, wow.

105
00:04:21,774 --> 00:04:22,374
Wow.

106
00:04:22,704 --> 00:04:25,194
Cause normally I'm like, you know,
out there and charging, but I'm

107
00:04:25,194 --> 00:04:26,124
like, this is, this is tough.

108
00:04:26,154 --> 00:04:26,724
Like I'm wrecked.

109
00:04:27,384 --> 00:04:31,524
And then the internal critic starts
or the eternal opponent going, oh man.

110
00:04:31,674 --> 00:04:33,294
You know, you're not going
to be able to do X today.

111
00:04:33,294 --> 00:04:34,524
You're not gonna be able
to get into the studio.

112
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:35,514
You're not going to be able to do this.

113
00:04:36,054 --> 00:04:39,114
And then, and then it starts,
um, critiquing other people.

114
00:04:39,144 --> 00:04:42,294
It goes, ah, Maybe, maybe people
aren't being supportive enough.

115
00:04:42,324 --> 00:04:44,154
Maybe, maybe people
don't really care about.

116
00:04:44,214 --> 00:04:46,434
And you can hear it and they're
going, hang on, hang on, hang on.

117
00:04:46,854 --> 00:04:48,954
First step is like, Oh, it's you.

118
00:04:49,404 --> 00:04:50,274
Oh, it's you.

119
00:04:50,664 --> 00:04:51,534
I know you.

120
00:04:52,014 --> 00:04:53,994
You're the one that wants
to steal my destiny.

121
00:04:53,994 --> 00:04:55,764
You're the one that wants
to steal my purpose.

122
00:04:55,764 --> 00:04:57,264
You're the one that wants to hold me back.

123
00:04:57,264 --> 00:05:00,564
You're the ones that wants to keep
me exactly where I am in life.

124
00:05:00,624 --> 00:05:01,944
Step one, recognition.

125
00:05:01,944 --> 00:05:02,574
Step two.

126
00:05:03,144 --> 00:05:04,614
I just want to operate
in a higher purpose.

127
00:05:04,644 --> 00:05:07,524
I just want to operate at a higher
level and go, Nope, no listening,

128
00:05:07,644 --> 00:05:10,644
going to get on with it, going to
choose how I respond in the world,

129
00:05:10,644 --> 00:05:12,294
going to choose how I relate to people.

130
00:05:12,504 --> 00:05:15,324
I have way more power than I realize,
and I'm going to get on with it.

131
00:05:15,984 --> 00:05:18,714
So my friend, I just want to put
that thought in your head today

132
00:05:18,984 --> 00:05:21,444
that the greatest opponent you
will ever face is not external.

133
00:05:21,444 --> 00:05:22,254
It is not the government.

134
00:05:22,254 --> 00:05:23,184
It is not the economy.

135
00:05:23,184 --> 00:05:24,054
It is not the weather.

136
00:05:24,054 --> 00:05:25,194
It is not world events.

137
00:05:25,194 --> 00:05:25,704
Stop.

138
00:05:26,094 --> 00:05:26,424
Really?

139
00:05:26,424 --> 00:05:29,004
I would say, just stop
watching mainstream media.

140
00:05:29,034 --> 00:05:32,184
I mean, honestly, unless do, there are
so many other forms of entertainment

141
00:05:32,184 --> 00:05:33,894
because it is not in journalism.

142
00:05:33,894 --> 00:05:34,974
It's not it's entertainment.

143
00:05:35,514 --> 00:05:35,814
All right.

144
00:05:35,814 --> 00:05:38,724
It's basically clickbait and
fear-based fright bat bait.

145
00:05:39,114 --> 00:05:43,134
That a is designed to convince you that
the world is a dark, terrible place where

146
00:05:43,134 --> 00:05:45,024
nuclear Armageddon is only a step away.

147
00:05:45,354 --> 00:05:46,164
Friends, put it this way.

148
00:05:46,224 --> 00:05:49,134
If nuclear Armageddon is
only a step away, two things.

149
00:05:49,764 --> 00:05:51,384
One there's nothing you can do about it.

150
00:05:51,384 --> 00:05:53,424
And two is all going
to be over real quick.

151
00:05:53,424 --> 00:05:53,694
Right?

152
00:05:53,694 --> 00:05:55,374
So let's stop focusing on that.

153
00:05:55,704 --> 00:05:58,374
Because there's nothing that
almost any of us can do.

154
00:05:58,974 --> 00:05:59,694
So let's focus on.

155
00:05:59,724 --> 00:06:01,074
We can do, which was live today.

156
00:06:01,314 --> 00:06:01,734
Live today.

157
00:06:01,734 --> 00:06:03,174
The best we possibly can.

158
00:06:03,804 --> 00:06:07,464
Ignore reject, delete the internal
opponent and get on with living this

159
00:06:07,464 --> 00:06:09,654
phenomenal life that you were created for.

160
00:06:09,654 --> 00:06:10,044
Okay.

161
00:06:10,554 --> 00:06:12,204
Stop looking outside for the problems.

162
00:06:12,204 --> 00:06:16,554
The problem is inside and the destiny
is also insight and the amazing capacity

163
00:06:16,554 --> 00:06:18,504
and potential and power is also inside.

164
00:06:18,774 --> 00:06:20,634
If you will recognize that distorted.

165
00:06:21,204 --> 00:06:25,194

you and refuse to participate in its
