Speaker:

Nobody goes to work for the sake of a company,

Speaker:

they go to work to fulfill their highest values.

Speaker:

And if they can see that their job duties are helping them do it they're engaged

Speaker:

and inspired and productive and make you money.

Speaker:

I want to talk today about the incredible value of values.

Speaker:

I've been involved in personal development,

Speaker:

human behavior since 1972, 73.

Speaker:

And out of all the things that I've been blessed to explore and

Speaker:

study in that field, human values became the most significant.

Speaker:

It was shocking to find out that when you start looking at the literature,

Speaker:

there are a few books have been written on the field.

Speaker:

And yet I found it one of the most significant aspects of human

Speaker:

development. That's one of the reasons I wrote the 'Values Factor' book,

Speaker:

to try to fill in gaps that weren't being revealed.

Speaker:

Your values determine what you perceive,

Speaker:

what you decide to do and how you act in life. Stop and think about that.

Speaker:

How you perceive, what you perceive,

Speaker:

what you decide to do and how you act is based on your values.

Speaker:

Your values filter your sensory reality and selectively bias information

Speaker:

according to the hierarchy of what's most important to least important in your

Speaker:

life.

Speaker:

Your decisions are based on what you believe will give the greatest advantage

Speaker:

over disadvantage.

Speaker:

And your actions will be most consistent with what you value most.

Speaker:

So therefore, the things that are really,

Speaker:

really most important to you is wise to know.

Speaker:

So often if I go and ask somebody, you know,

Speaker:

'How many would love to be financially independent?' Everybody puts their hand

Speaker:

up. And I ask them,

Speaker:

'How many of you are financial independent?' The hands go down.

Speaker:

'How many would love to have this soulmate relationship?' All the hands go up

Speaker:

that are single. Some that are even married.

Speaker:

And then I ask them, 'How many feel you have that?' And the hands go down,

Speaker:

or many of them.

Speaker:

So many times people have unrealistic expectations,

Speaker:

sometimes delusions and fantasies about what's important to them and not really

Speaker:

looking at what actually is.

Speaker:

So I found that and some people say they want to have a goal,

Speaker:

they have goals that they want to accomplish,

Speaker:

and then they don't get around to doing them.

Speaker:

And they give up on them or they don't act on them or they,

Speaker:

and they think they sabotage, they think they don't have discipline,

Speaker:

they think there's something wrong with them, they beat themselves up.

Speaker:

And what I found is many times they have injected and

Speaker:

inculcated other people's values they put on a pedestal and envied, and

Speaker:

they didn't really honor what was important to them.

Speaker:

And so they beat themselves up, trying to live in other people's values,

Speaker:

trying to conform and fit in instead of stand out and be unique.

Speaker:

So I found this very,

Speaker:

very significant and very crucial to maximize our awareness and potential in

Speaker:

life, which is what I've been dedicated to.

Speaker:

And in the program that I present called the Breakthrough Experience,

Speaker:

which I present quite often, weekly almost,

Speaker:

I find many times people say they want to do

Speaker:

something, but their actions don't demonstrate it,

Speaker:

and your actions speak louder than your words. And I see people say,

Speaker:

'I want to do this. I want to do that. But I just keep not doing it.

Speaker:

I keep sabotaging.' Nope. They don't know what their values are.

Speaker:

One of the reasons I put on my dr.demartini.com

Speaker:

website is a complimentary Value Determination process,

Speaker:

is because there's just millions of people out there that are wandering around

Speaker:

thinking what's important to them is important to them when it's not.

Speaker:

And they they're setting goals that aren't really theirs.

Speaker:

And then they're wondering why they're not fulfilled.

Speaker:

And they're wondering why they're not getting anywhere.

Speaker:

I always say depression is a comparison of your current reality to a fantasy

Speaker:

about how it's 'supposed' to be.

Speaker:

And many people have fantasies that they are going to do something that's not

Speaker:

really valuable to them. I mean, I'm, this is amazing.

Speaker:

I mean, this is like 99% of the population have some degree of this.

Speaker:

So I want to spend a moment doing that, talking about that.

Speaker:

And I know that some of you have listened to me,

Speaker:

do many talks and some of you may be new, but for those of you who've heard it,

Speaker:

it's not unwise to hear it again.

Speaker:

Every human being lives by a set of priorities, a set of values,

Speaker:

things that are most important to least important in their life.

Speaker:

And that set of values is unique to them.

Speaker:

And therefore trying to copy somebody else is automatically going to diminish

Speaker:

your potential,

Speaker:

and you're automatically going to be living in competition

Speaker:

somebody else, instead of being first to being you.

Speaker:

There's no competition to you. There's competition to people similar to you,

Speaker:

maybe, but not you.

Speaker:

So you have a hierarchy of values, a set of values,

Speaker:

a set of priorities that are unique.

Speaker:

Now that set of values does change over your life. You know,

Speaker:

when you're teenagers and kids and young children and adults are different

Speaker:

priorities at the time,

Speaker:

and there's a Maslow's kind of a hierarchy that occurs over life,

Speaker:

if you want to have fulfillment life.

Speaker:

And there's survival and there's self-actualizing kind of layers of it.

Speaker:

But whatever's most important to you at any one moment in time, if

Speaker:

you know what that is, and you structure your life to fulfill that,

Speaker:

you excel.

Speaker:

Anytime you set a goal that is aligned with your highest value,

Speaker:

you are spontaneously inspired to act.

Speaker:

You have the highest probability of achieving it.

Speaker:

Your self worth goes up when you live by highest values,

Speaker:

your self-worth goes down when you live by lower values. You are more,

Speaker:

in a sense,

Speaker:

capable of enduring whatever challenges you face in the pursuit of it.

Speaker:

In fact, you will be willing to embrace both pain and pleasure,

Speaker:

challenge and support in the pursuit of it, when it's highest.

Speaker:

Cause it's so important that when the why is big enough,

Speaker:

that highest value's like a why.

Speaker:

When the why is big enough the how's take care of themselves.

Speaker:

And your highest value is what you filter your perceptions,

Speaker:

decisions and actions by,

Speaker:

and your highest value has been defined as the telos by the ancient Greeks,

Speaker:

which is the end in mind, which is the purpose, which is your mission.

Speaker:

So when people are looking for their mission and purpose

Speaker:

highest value.

Speaker:

Whatever's highest on your value is what you're going to excel at.

Speaker:

That's where you're most inspired, most spontaneously active,

Speaker:

that's where you're going to excel,

Speaker:

that's where you're going to be fulfilled most, most meaningful.

Speaker:

Because you're doing something you really love to do and because you're willing

Speaker:

to embrace pain and pleasure in the pursuit of it, you're more objective,

Speaker:

more balanced, more resilient,

Speaker:

more adaptable and less impulsive.

Speaker:

And because you tend to achieve it, you're disciplined, reliable,

Speaker:

and focused in that area and you achieve it,

Speaker:

you tend to expand your horizons and you continue to grow and wake up your

Speaker:

natural leader and open the doors for

Speaker:

real expanded opportunities, awareness, decisions, actions,

Speaker:

you play in a bigger field of possibility. Now,

Speaker:

if you're not trying to live by your highest values and you're comparing

Speaker:

yourself to other people and you go, 'Ooh, they're, they're more successful.

Speaker:

They're more intelligent or they're more wealthier.

Speaker:

They're more savvy in business, or they're more got a better relationship.

Speaker:

They're more socially connected or they're more physically fit or more

Speaker:

spiritually aware.

Speaker:

The moment you compare yourself to somebody else and

Speaker:

exaggerate them and minimize you and think they have something you don't and

Speaker:

you're too humble to admit what you see in them is inside you,

Speaker:

you automatically will inject some of their values.

Speaker:

Values go in society from those who have the most power to those the least

Speaker:

power, perceptually.

Speaker:

So the second you minimize yourself to somebody you're going to tend to inject

Speaker:

their values. And the moment you inject some of their values,

Speaker:

you cloud the clarity of your own values. And then you feel uncertain.

Speaker:

And the more uncertain you feel the more you brain offload decisions back to

Speaker:

those people that you give power to. Giving your power away,

Speaker:

some people call it.

Speaker:

And you also sometimes compare yourself to other people and feel cocky and proud

Speaker:

and you look down on them and you think, 'Well,

Speaker:

they've got their values all screwed up.

Speaker:

And they don't know what's really important.' And then

Speaker:

onto them, because values go from power down to least power.

Speaker:

So if you look down to somebody you project your values on them,

Speaker:

trying to get them to live in your values.

Speaker:

When you try to get others to live in your values,

Speaker:

you have futility because they're not going to do it. They can't sustain it.

Speaker:

And when you try to live in other people's values,

Speaker:

you're not going to be able to sustain it.

Speaker:

You might be able to do it temporarily while you're infatuated,

Speaker:

but that wears off.

Speaker:

And then hedonic adaptation sets in and you start to go back and you want your

Speaker:

own life back. And you have a natural inclination to want to be authentic.

Speaker:

You want to be loved and appreciated for who you are.

Speaker:

So anytime you aren't living by your highest values and what your life and

Speaker:

identity revolves around,

Speaker:

and you try to live by other people's values you automatically cloud that,

Speaker:

confuse that,

Speaker:

cause internal conflict and a lot of psychological

Speaker:

internal conflict, between what you think you 'should' be doing,

Speaker:

'ought to'' be doing, supposed to' be doing, 'need to' be doing,

Speaker:

'have to' be doing, 'gotta be' doing,

Speaker:

'must do' from other people's expectations and values instead of from what your

Speaker:

own calling is indicating.

Speaker:

Question is, knowing what your highest value is, is crucial,

Speaker:

and then giving yourself permission to live according to that,

Speaker:

and then structuring your life by priority and doing the highest priority

Speaker:

things that serve the greatest number of people that compensate

Speaker:

you financially,

Speaker:

remunerate you financially for doing it because you're serving a need and

Speaker:

solving a problem and filling a value in other people's lives.

Speaker:

And you're doing something that's meaningful because as you know,

Speaker:

when you're doing something that makes a difference in other people's lives and

Speaker:

matches your highest value, you have the most fulfillment. When you do,

Speaker:

you earn the income to delegate the lower priority things and liberate yourself

Speaker:

from things that depreciate you,

Speaker:

because anytime you're doing low priority things, you devalue yourself.

Speaker:

Anytime you do low priority things the blood glucose and oxygen goes into the

Speaker:

amygdala,

Speaker:

the subcortical area of the brain that's a desire center and the desire center's

Speaker:

like an animal center that wants to avoid predator and seek prey.

Speaker:

So the second you're not fulfilled and you're not fulfilling the highest values

Speaker:

which wakes up your executive center and wakes up inspired vision,

Speaker:

and strategic planning and objective focus, and you know,

Speaker:

action steps and create governance and mastery,

Speaker:

you're living in that amygdala where you're basically impulsive for pleasure,

Speaker:

immediate gratification,

Speaker:

and pain and instinct away from anything that might challenge you,

Speaker:

so you want an easy life and you don't really go out and make the big

Speaker:

difference.

Speaker:

So if you're not filling your day with high priority actions that inspire you,

Speaker:

your day is going to fill up with low priority distractions that don't.

Speaker:

If you don't fill your day with inspiring ideas and challenge that inspire you,

Speaker:

you're going to keep getting challenges that you don't want.

Speaker:

You're going to get challenged in life.

Speaker:

You might as well fill it with challenges that inspire you,

Speaker:

that you want to make a difference in.

Speaker:

Filling people's needs is one of the best ones, greatest ones. So

Speaker:

when we're not living by our highest values and we go into our amygdala and we

Speaker:

want immediate gratification, we search for a quick fix.

Speaker:

And that cost us in business. There's not long-term relation.

Speaker:

It costs us in money, because we buy consumables that depreciate.

Speaker:

It costs us in relationships because we want support without challenge.

Speaker:

We want a fix. We want a fantasy.

Speaker:

We want immediate gratification, we want our animal nature going on,

Speaker:

a little passion instead of our mission. When it's in social life,

Speaker:

again we get abrupt and we don't think long-term and the impact we have.

Speaker:

All areas of our life are impacted by when we live by our

Speaker:

highest values. But what are values and where do they come from?

Speaker:

Well, values come originally from our most primitive nature, believe it or not.

Speaker:

The second the sperm and the egg unite and it makes a zygote,

Speaker:

which is the first cell that forms from the two haploid things into a

Speaker:

diploid, genetically, and we start dividing the cells,

Speaker:

epigenetics and genetics start working together.

Speaker:

And every thing that that cell or those multiple cells experience,

Speaker:

all the way to birth over the next nine months,

Speaker:

that has been pleasureful or painful to the cells,

Speaker:

supportive or challenge to the cells,

Speaker:

has been accumulated in responses and feedback systems that

Speaker:

epigenetically is tagged and affects our physiology.

Speaker:

And anything that has supported our values we label positive and good,

Speaker:

morally out of our ignorance, because in truth, there is no one-sided anything,

Speaker:

but we think it is because we think it's supporting us.

Speaker:

Anything that we think has challenging us we label bad and we get this

Speaker:

artificial morality thing comes in to support us for things that support us and

Speaker:

things that we want to avoid and we get kind of a fantasy and a nightmare out of

Speaker:

all the experiences in our lives.

Speaker:

And this is all stored in what I call the subconscious mind and most of the time

Speaker:

runs us,

Speaker:

but anytime we see something that supports us and we become drawn to it and

Speaker:

impulsively towards it and get infatuated with it and seek it,

Speaker:

we fear it's loss. And anytime we get something that challenges us,

Speaker:

that we resent that we want to run away from, that frightens us,

Speaker:

that causes pain or whatever, we have a fear of it coming near us.

Speaker:

And the more we polarize our perception and label something as black or white or

Speaker:

good or bad, morally,

Speaker:

we create a hypocrisy of a life because we're trying to create a one sided life

Speaker:

of trying to avoid something and get one side.

Speaker:

Imagine trying to get rid of half of yourself and trying to love yourself.

Speaker:

It's not going to happen. Or trying to get rid of half of somebody else,

Speaker:

so you can't love them. They're both sided.

Speaker:

If you try to get one sided out of life, you're not going to get anywhere.

Speaker:

So your values are stemming right from the beginning on every experience you

Speaker:

have that's imbalanced.

Speaker:

It's polarizing you into a support and challenge side,

Speaker:

and then creating something you want to seek and want to avoid.

Speaker:

And as you go through life, this is impacting your decisions.

Speaker:

Your decisions are based on every past experience that you labeled positive or

Speaker:

negative. Now in the Breakthrough Experience that I teach every week,

Speaker:

I show people that as long as they are polarized in their perceptions,

Speaker:

their animal nature, their amygdala,

Speaker:

their subconscious is going to keep running their life.

Speaker:

And they're going to be an automaton reacting, brain offloading,

Speaker:

looking for heroes, external heroes, conforming and fitting in,

Speaker:

not wanting to stand out,

Speaker:

afraid of losing the herd and not being part of the herd, afraid of rejection,

Speaker:

and live in a disempowered life.

Speaker:

But these judgments we have,

Speaker:

anytime we're infatuated with something we're too humble to admit what we see in

Speaker:

them is inside us, that's a void inside. That's a missing piece.

Speaker:

That's a disowned part. We're too humble to admit we have that.

Speaker:

The truth is we have it. We have what we see in other people,

Speaker:

but we're too humble to admit it.

Speaker:

Or we have what we see in other people we look down on,

Speaker:

but we're too proud to admit it.

Speaker:

And anything we're too proud or too humble to admit we have,

Speaker:

becomes a disowned part and those disowned parts are incomplete and they're not

Speaker:

truly us,

Speaker:

it's inauthentic us and we want to be authentic and we want to be loved for who

Speaker:

we are, so we got to go put those parts back, we got to own those parts.

Speaker:

In the Breakthrough Experience I show people how to own the parts they've been

Speaker:

disowning, the hero side, the villain side, the Saint, the sinner,

Speaker:

both sides of their life.

Speaker:

Cause they're not going to love themselves until they love both sides.

Speaker:

I went through a dictionary many years ago and looked at all the possible traits

Speaker:

of human being, positive and negative traits,

Speaker:

and I found I had every one of them, nothing was missing. I'm kind, I'm cruel,

Speaker:

I'm nice, I'm mean, I'm positive and negative, I'm supportive and challenging.

Speaker:

I'm all, all over the place depending on the situation.

Speaker:

I can be nice as a pussycat. I can be mean as a tiger.

Speaker:

And I don't need to get rid of it.

Speaker:

You don't need to get rid of any part of yourself.

Speaker:

You want to be able to love yourself for all of it.

Speaker:

And all of it is going to have a purpose. In the Breakthrough Experience I show,

Speaker:

when somebody's mean to you, how that's actually serving you,

Speaker:

when somebody is nice to you, how it's also dis-serving you.

Speaker:

And the meanness has benefits and drawbacks,

Speaker:

and the niceness has benefits and drawbacks. And if you can see both sides,

Speaker:

the external world doesn't run your life.

Speaker:

But if you evaluate and you polarize instead of synthesize and put yourself in

Speaker:

the highest values, where you're objective, where you see both sides,

Speaker:

you're going to have the world outside you run your life,

Speaker:

instead of you run your life.

Speaker:

That's what the purpose of the Breakthrough Experience is,

Speaker:

to help people get their life back because they've given it away and

Speaker:

disempowered themselves many times, because they are

Speaker:

There's strife inside them, an internal conflict inside themselves,

Speaker:

because they're trying to get others to live in their values or trying to get

Speaker:

themselves to live in other people's values,

Speaker:

instead of live in their own values. Reason I wrote the book,

Speaker:

the 'Values Factor' is because I want people to be able to be inspired by their

Speaker:

life and they can't be inspired by their life trying to be somebody they're not.

Speaker:

As long as they're too proud or too humble to admit what they see in other

Speaker:

people inside themselves, they're going to live inauthentically,

Speaker:

they're going to be projecting or injecting values. And as a result of that,

Speaker:

they're going to be futile,

Speaker:

having futility because you can't get other people to live in your values,

Speaker:

you can't live in other people's values. So it's futility.

Speaker:

And you're going to be living in fear because you're going to be fearing the

Speaker:

loss of the things you infatuate and fearing the

Speaker:

So you're going to be living in fear. You're going to be disempowering yourself,

Speaker:

comparing yourself to other people, and it doesn't work.

Speaker:

What works is actually comparing your own daily actions to your own highest

Speaker:

value. How effective are you at living by your highest value?

Speaker:

That's the key.

Speaker:

That's why I want you to go online and do the Value Determination process,

Speaker:

determine what really, what your life demonstrates it.

Speaker:

How you fill your space the most. What you spend your time on the most.

Speaker:

What is it that energizes you the most?

Speaker:

What is it you spend your money on the most?

Speaker:

What is it that you're actually disciplined, reliable and focused on?

Speaker:

Where is your highest degree of order and organization in life?

Speaker:

What do you think about, visualize,

Speaker:

and talk to yourself about most about how you want your life that really shows

Speaker:

evidence of coming true? What do you converse with other people about most?

Speaker:

What do you keep bringing the conversations to? What

Speaker:

What is it that you have as goals that you are pursuing and you are not stopping

Speaker:

and you're getting them? And what is it you love reading about, learning about,

Speaker:

listening to?

Speaker:

Go online and take advantage of that or come to the Breakthrough Experience and

Speaker:

let me demonstrate it and show it to you and help you define it,

Speaker:

because not knowing what it is that's really most important to you,

Speaker:

not knowing what you're really committed to, not knowing what your mission is,

Speaker:

not knowing what your identity revolves around,

Speaker:

not knowing where you're going to excel,

Speaker:

not knowing where you're going to learn the most,

Speaker:

not knowing what drives and gives you vast amounts of energy.

Speaker:

Not knowing who you are, is insanity really. And

Speaker:

I'm amazed at how many people on the planet just don't take the time to do it.

Speaker:

They do more planning on their vacation than they do on their own mastery.

Speaker:

And it's insane. A vacation is a transient escape. Your life is your mission,

Speaker:

it's your mastery. And that's important.

Speaker:

That's why I tell people to come to the Breakthrough Experience because if they

Speaker:

don't,

Speaker:

they're missing out on a gold mine of opportunity to start the trajectory,

Speaker:

a new trajectory on authenticity about who they really are.

Speaker:

And it's going to be based on the values. I'm certain about that.

Speaker:

I've been doing this 48 years next month.

Speaker:

And I'm certain that that is one of the key elements. You see,

Speaker:

when you want to learn something, if it's not linked to your highest values,

Speaker:

you're not going to absorb it as much.

Speaker:

And kids are in school going through a class they can't see helping them fulfill

Speaker:

what's important to them. It's an autocratic situation.

Speaker:

They put labels on defiant disorders and attention deficit disorders.

Speaker:

And they got kids labeled because the teacher doesn't know how to communicate in

Speaker:

the kid's values.

Speaker:

The kids don't see how the curriculum is going to help them fulfill what they

Speaker:

really value. They feel frustrated. They feel forced to do it.

Speaker:

They're there for social purposes. That's insanity.

Speaker:

If you can just educate the teachers and educate the principals and educate the

Speaker:

frigging educational system,

Speaker:

how important it is to find out that unique individual value of that child and

Speaker:

find out how to communicate what you want to teach to that child's values and

Speaker:

let them excel in the things that they value. Wow, you wake up genius.

Speaker:

Because when kids are doing what they love doing,

Speaker:

they pursue challenges that inspire them and they wake up their capacities.

Speaker:

Genius and innovation is when you live by your highest values, I guarantee you.

Speaker:

I watched it. I've been studying geniuses and great achievers for years.

Speaker:

And your business, nobody goes to work for the sake of a company.

Speaker:

They go to work to fulfill their highest values.

Speaker:

And if they can see that their job duties are helping them do it,

Speaker:

they're engaged and inspired and productive and make you money.

Speaker:

But if they don't,

Speaker:

then that's insanity because you're going to be wanting to escape on a break,

Speaker:

take a long break, cheat on your time, take a vacation, get an escape,

Speaker:

go on holidays and want to retire and get away from that frigging job.

Speaker:

Anytime you have somebody that feels that they've GOT TO go to work and it's

Speaker:

THAT job they work out, they're not engaged.

Speaker:

What kind of life is a Monday morning blue, Wednesday hump day,

Speaker:

thank God it's Friday and weekend stuff? That's insanity.

Speaker:

And the same thing in finance, if you don't value wealth building,

Speaker:

you'll keep buying consumables that depreciate in value and living vicariously

Speaker:

off other people's brands and never build a brand around yourself.

Speaker:

And in relationship,

Speaker:

people want to be loved for who they are and who they are as an expression of

Speaker:

their highest values. And if you can't communicate your values,

Speaker:

the highest values in terms of their highest values,

Speaker:

they're not going to feel loved, and you're not going to feel loved.

Speaker:

And there's a science to that, which I explain in the Breakthrough Experience,

Speaker:

there's a science of how to communicate people's values.

Speaker:

There's a science how to of shift values,

Speaker:

so you can actually build your wealth in life.

Speaker:

There's a science on how to link values so you can be inspired at work.

Speaker:

There's a science of how to learn anything based on your values.

Speaker:

And that's worth knowing that, it's insane not to know how to use that.

Speaker:

The same thing socially,

Speaker:

if you want to live and be a leader and make a difference, and have influence,

Speaker:

that's not going to happen if you're living by the subordination of a culture,

Speaker:

following a culture, it's about building a culture.

Speaker:

And that only occurs when you're congruent and living by your highest values and

Speaker:

prioritizing your life, and living and delegating things,

Speaker:

and engaging and getting other people engaged in some cause that's inspired.

Speaker:

Margaret Mead said that the only time you ever make a difference in the world is

Speaker:

when a small group of people are inspired by some vision, make the difference.

Speaker:

And you're capable of making a difference. It's inside you. It's innate.

Speaker:

It's waiting to come to the surface,

Speaker:

but to the degree that you're congruent with your highest values it will

Speaker:

surface, until then it's not going to, and you're going to keep blaming.

Speaker:

Anytime you look for sources outside you for a problem and outside for a

Speaker:

solution, you disempowered yourself. Because you're extrinsically run,

Speaker:

which is the amygdala, which is the animal nature,

Speaker:

instead of the intrinsic calling. I said on 'The Secret' 15 years ago now,

Speaker:

14 years ago,

Speaker:

when the voice and the vision on the inside is louder than all opinions on the

Speaker:

outside you begin to master your life. It's the inside job,

Speaker:

not the external job. It's nothing, we never have any,

Speaker:

it's nothing out there in the world that's affecting us, It's our perceptions,

Speaker:

decisions and actions, which is value-driven.

Speaker:

And the same thing with our health. If we're not living congruently,

Speaker:

our physiology is going to create symptoms through the autonomic and epigenetic

Speaker:

expression in cells and protein manufacturing in the genome.

Speaker:

It's going to translate into symptoms to let you know you're being inauthentic.

Speaker:

In fact, all seven areas of your life. Even your spiritual quest.

Speaker:

If you're not inspired on a daily basis, full of energy,

Speaker:

then somehow you're not living authentically and

Speaker:

the world,

Speaker:

and being something and contributing something that means something to you,

Speaker:

that you get a win out of.

Speaker:

And to not structure your life by your values is insane really.

Speaker:

You won't hear me talk on any seminar around the world and I do a lot of them,

Speaker:

I've done over 300 already this year, even during corona,

Speaker:

300 presentations now and webinars and stuff, and in the process of doing it,

Speaker:

you won't hear any talk I do that won't mention values.

Speaker:

So the incredible value of values is realizing that that's the core essence

Speaker:

of your existence.

Speaker:

And that's why I want people to know and go get the book, 'The Values Factor',

Speaker:

go read that thing about 10 times and really get it.

Speaker:

Come to the Breakthrough Experience and actually learn how to actually do it and

Speaker:

learn how to structure your life around what's really important to you because

Speaker:

nobody's going to get up in the morning and dedicate your life to you unless

Speaker:

it's you.

Speaker:

You don't have a genie out there that's rubbing a lamp and making your wishes

Speaker:

come true. It's you, it's you prioritizing action.

Speaker:

You're not going to stay consistent,

Speaker:

persistent on some objective if it's not really important to you.

Speaker:

I've been teaching 48 years next month and

Speaker:

I do it every single day. Nobody has to remind me to do it.

Speaker:

If you have to be reminded and motivated externally extrinsically to get what

Speaker:

you want done in life, you are not on mission.

Speaker:

There's no motivation needed for somebody who's inspired by a mission.

Speaker:

Nobody has to tell you what to do when it's really important to you.

Speaker:

When those why's are big enough the how's take care of themselves.

Speaker:

You figure out the strategy,

Speaker:

you always have a strategy for what's most important,

Speaker:

but many times you don't honor what's most important because you're afraid of

Speaker:

being rejected and not fitting in and not being, I mean,

Speaker:

it's so many people are trapped.

Speaker:

The political arena and landscape today is insane.

Speaker:

They're afraid, they're polarizing themselves because they're not willing

Speaker:

to be themselves. They

Speaker:

allow external sensations to distract them from their missions.

Speaker:

Your mission is where your fulfillment path is.

Speaker:

And whether that's raising a beautiful family,

Speaker:

whether that's raising a corporation,

Speaker:

whether that's doing something socially that's a cause,

Speaker:

whether that's doing yoga on the beaches or climbing mountains or some

Speaker:

spiritual quest or feeding the hunger, I don't know what it is,

Speaker:

whatever it is that's deeply meaningful to you, that's coming from your voids,

Speaker:

your deepest voids. I had a speech impediments.

Speaker:

I was told I would never read. I would never write. I'd never communicate.

Speaker:

Never amount to anything. Never go very far in life.

Speaker:

My voids were there as a child, the perfect voids for what I do today.

Speaker:

All the voids that you've had in your life,

Speaker:

all the things you think were missing in your life are exactly what you need in

Speaker:

order to do it. There's no mistakes in what's happening.

Speaker:

And don't let some psychobabble bullshit from some psychologist tell you that

Speaker:

"you were abandoned or you were this", don't put labels on yourself.

Speaker:

Ask yourself, how no matter what happened in your life,

Speaker:

how is it helping you get what you want?

Speaker:

How's it helping you fulfill your highest value?

Speaker:

Otherwise you'll put labels on yourself. You blame something. You'll say,

Speaker:

'I didn't have this. And so-and-so did this to me.' Don't dissociate your life,

Speaker:

disempower your life and look outside, look inside.

Speaker:

You have the capacity to do it. Epictetus said that there's,

Speaker:

first people blame others and they blame themselves and then they finally

Speaker:

realize there's nothing to blame,

Speaker:

they're simply all the magnificent experiences in

Speaker:

to help you get authentic. And if you ask,

Speaker:

how is whatever's happening in your life helping you get there,

Speaker:

you'll expedite a faster growth process of mastery.

Speaker:

So I want to take this time to go through that because the hierarchy of your

Speaker:

values dictate your destiny. And you have a unique set of priorities.

Speaker:

There's no one out there that has the same ones.

Speaker:

The world has a full spectrum of all the values. None of them are right.

Speaker:

There's no right universal value system out there.

Speaker:

They've been looking for that, Camus and many others have all gone out there,

Speaker:

there's no universe, Montaigne, they all went out there looking for that.

Speaker:

Doesn't exist. Everybody serves. Every value system serves.

Speaker:

Even the ones that you think are villainous and evil

Speaker:

part of the perfection of the planet,

Speaker:

because they would have gone extinct if they didn't serve.

Speaker:

Just because human beings in their moralistic hypocrisy, can't see it,

Speaker:

it's because they didn't look.

Speaker:

They want to stay in their high tower of that social pious perspective and not

Speaker:

take a time to look at how everything is part of the equation.

Speaker:

If you want to get past that,

Speaker:

if you want to learn how to take no matter what happens in your life and use it

Speaker:

to your advantage,

Speaker:

come to the Breakthrough Experience so I can show you how to do that.

Speaker:

Cause it's a mind blowing to know the liberation that it comes when you get

Speaker:

finally to realize that what's happening in your life is on the way,

Speaker:

not in the way. And it's there to help you fulfill your highest value,

Speaker:

to be authentic, to be inspired and to make a contribution on the planet.

Speaker:

So I just wanted to take the time to go through that and talk about the

Speaker:

significance of the values in your life and remind you of that.

Speaker:

No matter how many times you've heard it, probably wise to hear it again,

Speaker:

because it makes a difference.

Speaker:

The reason I do that every freaking day of my life, talking about values,

Speaker:

is because it's the thing that made the biggest difference in my own life and

Speaker:

other people's lives.

Speaker:

Thousands of people's lives that have taken the Breakthrough Experience and done

Speaker:

the Value Determination and read 'The Values Factor' book,

Speaker:

and went on and did something by priority.

Speaker:

I have not heard anybody that's started to go that path and live by priority

Speaker:

that didn't say thank you.

Speaker:

So if you want to have a turnaround in your life and a turn on in life,

Speaker:

find out what your highest value is,

Speaker:

go online and do it and get 'The Values Factor' book,

Speaker:

come to the Breakthrough Experience, do something and let's get moving.

Speaker:

Let's focus on. Let's not wallow around and be pity party, trauma drama,

Speaker:

and you know, let's not just run our story and be a victim of our history.

Speaker:

Let's become master of our destiny. That's what you're here for.

Speaker:

So to help you do that,

Speaker:

I want to share that there's a little gift I want to give you.

Speaker:

And it's a complimentary gift that I know it's a presentation I gave at a

Speaker:

planetarium in South Africa called Awakening Your Astronomical Vision.

Speaker:

I want you to have this because I want you to realize that you have a vast

Speaker:

vision inside you that is capable of doing something extraordinary and you may

Speaker:

not have gotten it to the surface and seen it for yourself.

Speaker:

If you want to expand your vision,

Speaker:

want to know how to wake up and broaden your horizons,

Speaker:

make a bigger difference and do something even greater in your life,

Speaker:

this is a live presentation I did to a group of executives that were

Speaker:

leaders. And I guarantee you it's an inspiring piece.

Speaker:

It was done in a planetarium, it's really about you living authentically,

Speaker:

building momentum, creating a legacy, leaving a mark,

Speaker:

doing something extraordinary. And all you have to do is go to

Speaker:

demartini.fm/gift. Get that. You'll say, thank you.

Speaker:

Listen to it about six or seven times.

Speaker:

I guarantee you It's going to make you think outside the box,

Speaker:

going to give you some incentive and inspiration and vitality to go out and do

Speaker:

something even more. Whatever it may be.

Speaker:

If you're sitting on a plateau or a hump and you're holding yourself back,

Speaker:

just listen to it a few times I promise you.

Speaker:

And make it to the Breakthrough Experience somewhere along the line If you

Speaker:

haven't been,

Speaker:

because I know you can't sit in front of me for 24 hours without having

Speaker:

something happen. So this is Dr. Demartini.

Speaker:

Thanks for being with me today.

Speaker:

Please take advantage of the gift Awakening Your Astronomical Vision, again,

Speaker:

demartini.fm/gift.

Speaker:

And I look forward to seeing you at the next presentation, have a super day,

Speaker:

prioritize your day, fill your day with priorities today.

Speaker:

Don't let anybody on the outside interfere with what's the dream on the inside.

Speaker:

Go for it.

Speaker:
