If you're sitting there and you're not building momentum and you feel like
Speaker:you're stagnant and you feel like you're holding yourself back and you're
Speaker:comparing yourself to others,
Speaker:instead of comparing your daily actions to your own highest values and dreams,
Speaker:it's time to get on with your life and do something even more profound.
Speaker:Everybody's seen a train going down a track,
Speaker:and the engine of that train and all the train that's behind it is pretty heavy.
Speaker:If you can imagine actually the weight of a train engine going
Speaker:over you, that's very massive. It's very heavy. It's got a lot of engine.
Speaker:And when it first takes off, it's really slow,
Speaker:but then it starts to pick up its velocity, its speed,
Speaker:and as it does,
Speaker:if you multiply the mass of the engine and all the train
Speaker:cars that are behind it,
Speaker:x the speed velocity,
Speaker:mass x velocity determines momentum. So you might want to write;
Speaker:momentum = mass x velocity.
Speaker:Now it's going down a track. We could use a metaphor.
Speaker:The track is the track of our purpose or the main
Speaker:primary objective or primary mission that we have in life that we're
Speaker:pursuing. The thing that's most important in our life.
Speaker:As you know, every time I do a talk, I always mention values.
Speaker:So this would be the very thing at the very top of the value list,
Speaker:whatever's most important, most meaningful, most inspiring,
Speaker:most intrinsically calling, the thing that you love doing,
Speaker:that you can't wait to get up in the morning and do, that's the track,
Speaker:that's the mission, that's the purpose. Now you have a mass,
Speaker:but your velocity is based,
Speaker:if you multiply times your mass you get to know how you become unstoppable.
Speaker:Now what's interesting is if you're a young boy and you have as a highest value,
Speaker:video games, you spontaneously act on it.
Speaker:Whatever's highest on your value, you spontaneously act on.
Speaker:But when you're doing something low on your values, you procrastinate,
Speaker:hesitate and frustrate. You need somebody to motivate you to do it.
Speaker:So you're most efficient, most effective,
Speaker:most inspired, when you're doing what's highest on your value,
Speaker:when you do, you have the least resistance, the most intrinsic,
Speaker:you might say, drive, and your engine becomes unstoppable.
Speaker:So everybody has a hierarchy of values.
Speaker:If we live according to what's highest on our value list,
Speaker:we increase the probability of being clear about what our track is,
Speaker:our mission in life,
Speaker:and spontaneously being inspired to act without resistance.
Speaker:So we have the fastest speed. And,
Speaker:if you notice whenever you set a goal and you do achieve it,
Speaker:you tend to set a more unobtainable goal, a bigger goal.
Speaker:And eventually you you achieve that.
Speaker:And then you set an even more unobtainable goal. It's a more challenging goal.
Speaker:It gets bigger.
Speaker:Whenever you're pursuing something that's deeply meaningful and inspiring to you
Speaker:and you achieve it, you tend to want to achieve something greater.
Speaker:And whenever you're doing something that's lower on your values,
Speaker:you tend to not want to have to work so hard.
Speaker:You want to avoid the challenges and seek the immediate gratifying ease.
Speaker:So you procrastinate,
Speaker:hesitate and frustrate on something that takes a lot of effort,
Speaker:but not on the thing that's most important. So if you
Speaker:you want to make sure that you keep to priority and keep to what you value most.
Speaker:I've used the analogy of a young boy who loves his video game,
Speaker:when he does his video games and he's doing what he really loves,
Speaker:he'll stay out there till two in the morning, three in the morning.
Speaker:I have a son that did that. And you can't even get them to go to sleep.
Speaker:They don't want to be stopped. They just want to keep going,
Speaker:because they love what they're doing. But if you ask him to do his homework,
Speaker:his chores, clean his room or something like that, he'll procrastinate,
Speaker:he'll stop pretty quick and he's not going to want to keep going.
Speaker:If you're not consistently moving towards something that's deeply meaningful and
Speaker:inspiring and you're not building up an accelerated pace
Speaker:or at least a faster velocity towards it,
Speaker:you're not going to get to a point where your momentum is unstoppable.
Speaker:That's why to start and stop and to do a job and go, eh, I don't want to do it,
Speaker:do another job, oh that doesn't inspire me.
Speaker:And go from job to job or relationship to relationship or to objective to
Speaker:objective and not really find something that's deeply meaningful,
Speaker:you're not likely to build great momentum.
Speaker:One of my mentors told me a long time ago,
Speaker:find a thing that you love doing 'The One Thing' as Gary Keller says it,
Speaker:and stick to it and don't stop doing it.
Speaker:Just keep doing it and you'll become in a sense,
Speaker:momentum building and unstoppable.
Speaker:Mine happens to be the Breakthrough Experience.
Speaker:I've done it 1,166 times,
Speaker:I'm about to do another two this week coming up.
Speaker:And when you stop and think about it,
Speaker:you just keep doing it and you end up building momentum.
Speaker:The speed in which you do it builds momentum.
Speaker:So you want to make sure that you're going after the thing that you really love
Speaker:in life so you have the fastest velocity.
Speaker:So you end up having the mass x the velocity,
Speaker:build yourself a momentum and then it's like a train, you can't stop it.
Speaker:When it gets going and it gets faster and faster, it's not stoppable.
Speaker:If it goes off the track, it'll just keep going right into the dirt,
Speaker:right through trees, right through cars. It'll just keep going.
Speaker:I wonder what would happen if all of a sudden we found out what our real mission
Speaker:is. Our mission is an expression of our highest value, the most inspiring,
Speaker:spontaneous acting aspect of our life is that highest value. Mine is teaching.
Speaker:That's why I love teaching the Breakthrough Experience
Speaker:momentum that it does and the impact it has on the people it touches.
Speaker:Anybody that's in its way are going to be transformed and they're going to have
Speaker:a trajectory change, because you can't stop somebody who's on a mission.
Speaker:If you go through and prioritize your life and do the things that are really
Speaker:important to you,
Speaker:you don't need to be motivated or reminded to do it and you're going to do it
Speaker:spontaneously. Again, the young boy who loves his video games,
Speaker:he won't stop on his video games.
Speaker:He'll do it till wee hours of the morning and he doesn't want to stop and he
Speaker:builds momentum. The second he gets past one game,
Speaker:he goes on to the more advanced game. And the second he does that,
Speaker:he builds up momentum, he goes to the next game.
Speaker:And he doesn't want to stop until he is bought all the games in the particular
Speaker:area that he loves and he just keeps going. But again,
Speaker:you try to get him to do his homework or chores or clean up his room,
Speaker:not likely to do that. As a mother or father you don't have to say, Hey Johnny,
Speaker:go do your video games and stop doing your homework. Not likely,
Speaker:it's the other way around. Because whatever's highest on his values,
Speaker:he loves doing it and he becomes unstoppable. Whatever's low on his values,
Speaker:he stops doing and becomes unmovable. You can't get him to move.
Speaker:And the same thing if a child doesn't see how the classes he's taking in school
Speaker:or the chores he's doing at home or the actions he's doing,
Speaker:cleaning his room is going to help him fulfill what he loves most,
Speaker:which is video games, he's not going to do it,
Speaker:and you're going to have to push him uphill.
Speaker:And pushing uphill doesn't build momentum. In fact it reverses it.
Speaker:So you want to use your hierarchy of values in
Speaker:your favor and identify it. On my website,
Speaker:drdemartini.com I have a Value Determination process.
Speaker:13 very,
Speaker:very precise questions that if you answer them very honestly,
Speaker:it can help you determine what's really meaningful to you, what's really,
Speaker:what your life demonstrates, what is actually revealed by your daily actions.
Speaker:Because your hierarchy of values is revealed in your daily actions that you do
Speaker:spontaneously that you love doing.
Speaker:But go on there and take advantage of that and do the Value Determination
Speaker:process. Do it again a week later,
Speaker:a month later and maybe three months later and take a look at what's really
Speaker:priority to you that keeps showing up.
Speaker:And then it's wise to start structuring your life around what's most important.
Speaker:My highest value of all the values is teaching.
Speaker:The second one is researching and writing. I constantly do that.
Speaker:I do that throughout the day. And the next one is traveling.
Speaker:So if you look carefully, what are your top values,
Speaker:particularly that top one and prioritize your life and start filling your day
Speaker:with that highest priority one, you're going to build momentum.
Speaker:You're going to be like that train going down the track.
Speaker:You're going to be clear. See our ontological purpose,
Speaker:our ontological identity revolves around that.
Speaker:Our teleological purpose revolves around that.
Speaker:Our epistemological knowledge revolves around that highest value.
Speaker:So you get to know yourself, you get to be yourself,
Speaker:you get to love yourself when you're doing what's highest on the values.
Speaker:And you become unstoppable. Nobody can stop somebody who's on a mission.
Speaker:You know an individual that's on a mission at work and loves what they're doing
Speaker:will sit there and work wee hours of the morning.
Speaker:They don't care about the hours that's being imposed on them.
Speaker:They're willing to get the job done. They don't want to stop.
Speaker:Whether it be in work or whether it be in athletics or whether it be in studies,
Speaker:doesn't matter what it is. If you are doing something that you love doing,
Speaker:nobody goes to work for the sake of a company,
Speaker:they go to work for the sake of fulfilling their values.
Speaker:Nobody goes to school for the sake of just taking a class,
Speaker:they go there to fulfill their values.
Speaker:Nobody gets in a relationship just so they get in a relationship unless it's
Speaker:fulfilling their values.
Speaker:Every decision we make is based what we believe will give us the greatest
Speaker:advantage over disadvantage at any moment in time to our values.
Speaker:The hierarchy of our values. So go online, determine your values,
Speaker:start prioritizing your life. Ask yourself,
Speaker:what is the highest priority action I can do today that can help me fulfill
Speaker:what's most meaningful to me, my purpose in life,
Speaker:and that serves the greatest number of people?
Speaker:Because there's some fulfillment by doing something of service.
Speaker:Delegate the lower priority things. You may think, well,
Speaker:I don't have anybody to delegate it to.
Speaker:Well you're not going to build a momentum and do something unstoppable
Speaker:if you're having to do everything that goes on in your day from every aspect.
Speaker:If you're not delegating lower priority things,
Speaker:you won't be able to spend time on the highest priority things where you're
Speaker:actually unstoppable and build momentum.
Speaker:So give yourself permission to do what's really most important.
Speaker:If you go make a list of every single thing that you do in a day, all day,
Speaker:every day for weeks,
Speaker:and take a look at what you're doing and then take a look at where it is in the
Speaker:meaning list. How meaningful is it? How productive is it?
Speaker:And really do an honest evaluation.
Speaker:You realize that you could be majoring in minors and minoring in majors and not
Speaker:doing what's really important and priority to you. If you do,
Speaker:you're going to hold back momentum. Your velocity is going to be lower.
Speaker:Whenever you're doing something that's high on your value, your energy goes up.
Speaker:Whenever you're doing something low on your value, your energy goes down.
Speaker:Your energy x the movement is what drives that momentum.
Speaker:So if you go and raise your energy, you're going to speed up the process.
Speaker:You're going to be more effective, more efficient,
Speaker:you're going to be more prioritized, you're going to be more empowered.
Speaker:It was Alec Mackenzie in his book on The Time Trap that show that people who are
Speaker:living according to their highest values do more executive planning,
Speaker:they live in their executive center, they're more governed,
Speaker:they're less distracted by impulses and instincts that throw us off and
Speaker:cause us all kind of inefficiencies.
Speaker:But if we go and we prioritize our life and delegate lower priority things and
Speaker:find people that would love to do the things that aren't really the things that
Speaker:inspire us that we feel trapped doing, we automatically free up energy,
Speaker:we automatically. When I was in practice many years ago, I was 27 years old,
Speaker:I opened up a little practice at a 970 square foot little office.
Speaker:I had one staff member and she was doing mainly administrative.
Speaker:I was doing mainly clinical,
Speaker:but I was doing a lot of stuff and I was kind of feeling frustrated and
Speaker:burdened a bit by doing stuff that really wasn't what I was educated for and
Speaker:wasn't really what I was inspired to do,
Speaker:which was basically teaching and healing and being involved in that topic.
Speaker:The second I hired somebody,
Speaker:I read a book called The Time Trap by Alec Mackenzie and the second I followed
Speaker:what it said, and I started to hire somebody to do lower priority things,
Speaker:it gave me more time to do the higher priority things, I felt lighter,
Speaker:I felt more professional. I found out my business went up, my income went up.
Speaker:I found out that I had the ability to delegate and train the individuals and let
Speaker:them take care of the stuff that I really wasn't inspired to do.
Speaker:The weight went down, the burden went down,
Speaker:the gravity of the situation went down and I levied it up. I lightened up,
Speaker:my energy went up, my inspiration went up,
Speaker:my desire to want to go to work went up, and I started having more patience,
Speaker:more income, more, more outreach.
Speaker:And I started delegating more and more and more and more.
Speaker:And the more I delegated, the more I got onto motion,
Speaker:the more I freed myself up and my income went up,
Speaker:my business went up, my outreach went up and I became, here I am now,
Speaker:41 years later, more, 41 and a half years later,
Speaker:I'm still going and I've still got momentum and unstoppable.
Speaker:It's because I prioritize and delegated,
Speaker:and I got onto what was most meaningful and inspiring where I was intrinsically
Speaker:called to act.
Speaker:I encourage you to take the time to go on and do the Value Determination
Speaker:process, or better yet,
Speaker:come to the Breakthrough Experience where I actually help you go through that
Speaker:and show you how to dissolve distractions that weigh you down,
Speaker:show you how to release the things that you're feeling burdened having to do.
Speaker:I always say either go do what you love through delegating or love what you do
Speaker:through linking. If you say, well, I don't know how I'm going to delegate.
Speaker:I got all this stuff at home, I don't know how I can delegate that. Well,
Speaker:you could be delegating it to specialists if you have the ability to go out and
Speaker:do something even more in inspiring,
Speaker:the cost and the freedom and the health benefits will be there.
Speaker:But if you go and delegate and hire people to do that,
Speaker:you will end up freeing up more energy to produce more.
Speaker:My income went up when I did that. My vitality went up when I did that,
Speaker:my outreach went up when I did that, I wanted to make a difference,
Speaker:my difference that I made went up because I did that.
Speaker:That's why in the Breakthrough Experience,
Speaker:I teach people how to dissolve emotional distractions,
Speaker:all the phobias and fears that make you stop yourself taking command,
Speaker:prioritizing and delegating, all the things that you give is excuses,
Speaker:all the limiting ideas that you're subordinating to other people.
Speaker:See the moment we compare ourselves to other people and put them on a pedestal,
Speaker:we'll minimize ourselves. And the second we minimize ourselves,
Speaker:our energy goes down, our confidence goes down, we don't take action,
Speaker:we're afraid to delegate and we hold on to stuff that's burdened,
Speaker:that slows down our momentum, you might say, our speed of action,
Speaker:our velocity.
Speaker:And we end up having more weighted you know,
Speaker:resistance in our life.
Speaker:And that's why I tell people to come to the Breakthrough Experience because if
Speaker:they do the Breakthrough Experience and they go through and they actually open
Speaker:up their heart to doing what they love and give themselves permission to shine,
Speaker:not shrink, and to go out and radiate,
Speaker:not gravitate and go on and do something more amazing with their life,
Speaker:they become unstoppable. You know,
Speaker:I had a lovely young girl that I met many years ago,
Speaker:well maybe seven years ago or six years ago that was in Las Vegas,
Speaker:that was a young girl that had a fashion design and it was amazing.
Speaker:Her name was Hanalei Swan.
Speaker:She did an amazing job and she did a presentation and
Speaker:presentation. She was 11 years old at the time.
Speaker:And because she found out what she wanted to do at a young age,
Speaker:she got moving on it. She's an artistic, creative, ingenious young lady.
Speaker:And she went out and did something amazing because she got on track.
Speaker:She put her engine into motion, she became unstoppable.
Speaker:I think her in, in her family's company is involved in unstoppable.
Speaker:It's a classical example of what happens when people get inspired by what they
Speaker:do. So I tell people, prioritize your life,
Speaker:give yourself permission to be authentic.
Speaker:Your authentic selfs and expression of what you value most.
Speaker:Your energy will go up, you will gain momentum,
Speaker:you will become unstoppable, you'll make more income.
Speaker:You'll end up being more inspired by your life and grateful for your life.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:the very executive center in the forebrain gets lit up and gets momentum and
Speaker:blood and glucose and oxygen the second you live by highest priorities.
Speaker:And that's the area that ends up giving you inspired vision, strategic planning,
Speaker:executing plans, and self-governance. So if you want more self-mastery,
Speaker:if you want more momentum, you want to have more energy and vitality,
Speaker:you want to not procrastinate, hesitate and frustrate.
Speaker:You want to have more life, if you will,
Speaker:and you want to be like an engine going down the track that's unstoppable,
Speaker:prioritize your life. And go online,
Speaker:take advantage of the prioritization process, the Value Determination process,
Speaker:come to the Breakthrough Experience where I can actually teach you how to
Speaker:dissolve all the distractions to get you focused, so you're clear,
Speaker:and to get you back on priority. If you do that, your life will change,
Speaker:your trajectory will change and you become unstoppable.
Speaker:When I ask millions of people around the world,
Speaker:how many of you want to make a difference in the world?
Speaker:They all put their hands up.
Speaker:And then when I get and put them on confront and say, okay,
Speaker:what exactly is that difference you're going to make?
Speaker:Sometimes they're not clear.
Speaker:I guarantee you the reason why they're not clear is because they're
Speaker:subordinating to other people, comparing themselves to other people,
Speaker:clouding the clarity of what their mission is, not living by highest priority,
Speaker:trying to please all the other people for fear of being rejected,
Speaker:and they're holding themselves back from doing something extraordinary by living
Speaker:by priority,
Speaker:and delegating and getting the people that you're worried about their opinions
Speaker:to help work and work on your behalf,
Speaker:by mastering the art of communicating what you're doing in terms of their
Speaker:values, now you become unstoppable.
Speaker:That's why I tell people again to go to the Breakthrough Experience.
Speaker:I teach people how to do that.
Speaker:How to live their life more inspired and more fulfilled and with more energy and
Speaker:more vitality and doing something more in meaningful to their life.
Speaker:If you're sitting there and you're not building momentum and you feel like
Speaker:you're stagnant and you feel like you're holding yourself back and you're
Speaker:comparing yourself to others,
Speaker:instead of comparing your daily actions to your own highest values and dreams,
Speaker:it's time,
Speaker:to get on with your life and do something even more profound because it's time
Speaker:to go out and do what's meaningful to you in your life by priority.
Speaker:So this particular presentation that I wanted to share today was about
Speaker:basically building momentum and becoming unstoppable. Remember the train,
Speaker:remember prioritization. The engine of the train is your forebrain.
Speaker:Your forebrain is the engine of your train. If you live by priority,
Speaker:your forebrain comes alive. If you live by lower priority,
Speaker:your hindbrain is running your life. And one is living by foresight.
Speaker:One is living by hindsight. Hindsight can never compete with foresight.
Speaker:Foresight plans, strategizes, executes, mitigates, risks,
Speaker:sees vision, delegates things, gets on with it,
Speaker:self governs the distractions of impulses and instincts of the amygdala,
Speaker:which is the animal brain that makes you crazy,
Speaker:and that's why I tell people to do the Breakthrough Experience.
Speaker:I want to teach you how to live by the forebrain, not the hindbrain,
Speaker:by the executive center, not the amygdala, by systems 2
Speaker:thinking where you're actually doing things by reason, not impulse and emotion.
Speaker:One weighs you down, one lightens you up.
Speaker:If you want to be enlightened and get on with it,
Speaker:let's start prioritizing your life and giving yourself permission to be
Speaker:yourself. The magnificence of who you that you are, the real you,
Speaker:the one that revolves around your highest value, your ontological being,
Speaker:the essence of your existence, is when you live by your highest priority.
Speaker:That's when the power is built and you become unstoppable.
Speaker:So I look forward to seeing you go to the the website and do the Value
Speaker:Determination and definitely come to the Breakthrough Experience because that's
Speaker:where I can help you specifically break through whatever you see is in your way
Speaker:and show you how to put it on the way so you can build an unstoppable momentum
Speaker:that inspires you and other people and make a difference in your life.
Speaker:So thank you for joining me today. Go on the website,
Speaker:take advantage of the Value Determination,
Speaker:come to the Breakthrough Experience where I can spend 24 hours with you and blow
Speaker:your mind and transform your life with 50 years worth of knowledge.
Speaker:And let's get moving. Let's get on it.
Speaker:Let's build a team together and let's go out and do something extraordinary with
Speaker:our lives. If you think you can't do it, that's the reason to come.
Speaker:If you think it's too costly, that's the reason to come,
Speaker:because that's what's stopping you.
Speaker:Your beliefs systems and your focus on the things that are distracting instead
Speaker:of the actual mission that you want to accomplish.
Speaker:Come and join me for the Breakthrough Experience so I can help you fulfill your
Speaker:mission and let's go build momentum and become unstoppable.
Speaker:Thank you for joining me today. I'll see you next week.
