So excited.

12
00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:35,010
I got some big ones coming

16
00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:51,690
And if I can make it possible while I'm
over there, I'd love to do that day.

17
00:00:51,690 --> 00:00:52,440
It's such a joy.

18
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:54,000
I just to be up on stage.

19
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:56,640
Um, encouraging and inspiring people.

20
00:00:56,670 --> 00:00:57,900
It gives me a great deal of joy.

21
00:00:57,930 --> 00:01:00,599
It's a, and it's why I'm
passionate about helping you.

22
00:01:01,050 --> 00:01:04,590
Unleash the magic that's within
you to liberate your potential.

23
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:06,660
That is why I'm on this little planet.

24
00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:08,550
I want to try and encourage all of us.

25
00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:13,289
To, uh, to unlock, to unleash
all the magic that's inside us to

26
00:01:13,289 --> 00:01:17,280
contribute more richly and fully
to the lives of those that we love.

27
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:20,160
And to the people that we meet each
day, that is the goal of friends,

28
00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:22,110
whoever contributes the most wins.

29
00:01:22,110 --> 00:01:24,000
I think that is how
the game is structured.

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,380
Um, I once read a quote that said
whoever dies with the most stuff wins.

31
00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:29,460
I'm like not true.

32
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,600
My friend, not true.

33
00:01:31,110 --> 00:01:35,700
What's that French saying the graveyard
is full of indispensable people.

34
00:01:36,179 --> 00:01:39,660
Um, my, my father used to say, there's
no pockets in a funeral shroud.

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,580
You're not taking anything with you.

36
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:43,740
What we get to keep is what we give.

37
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:45,179
I'm just riffing this morning.

38
00:01:45,179 --> 00:01:48,000
And I'm just flowing with these
little lines, but I believe him.

39
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,580
I believe that contributing
to others makes us happy.

40
00:01:50,580 --> 00:01:51,600
And that's what we're going to talk about.

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,170
All right.

42
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:52,710
So what have we done?

43
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:54,090
You subscribe, leave a review.

44
00:01:54,119 --> 00:01:54,780
It does help.

45
00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:57,690
And of course I'd love you to share
today's message with people, send it to

46
00:01:57,690 --> 00:02:00,840
your family, send it to your friends,
look, play it for your goldfish.

47
00:02:00,929 --> 00:02:02,160
Make your dog listen to it.

48
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,080
I don't know, but it's,
it's here to help today.

49
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,950
We're going to talk about.

50
00:02:05,940 --> 00:02:08,579
We're going to talk about the
difficulties and hardships in life.

51
00:02:08,609 --> 00:02:10,739
I was up again super early.

52
00:02:11,369 --> 00:02:13,470
Uh, I think I was about
three 30 this morning.

53
00:02:13,829 --> 00:02:18,420
Um, you know, As I said earlier this
week, sometimes it's a struggle is bleak.

54
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:19,170
It's cold.

55
00:02:19,499 --> 00:02:20,339
I was on the bike.

56
00:02:20,339 --> 00:02:21,749
I'm like, this is rubbish.

57
00:02:21,779 --> 00:02:24,660
And, uh, I was just on the bike
and I thought, you know what?

58
00:02:24,660 --> 00:02:26,700
It's these hardships that make us.

59
00:02:27,029 --> 00:02:27,570
Better.

60
00:02:27,929 --> 00:02:30,959
It's these obstacles and difficulties
and endless challenges and

61
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:32,100
problems that make us better.

62
00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:34,410
So today I want to talk about that often.

63
00:02:34,410 --> 00:02:35,880
Of course we wish them away.

64
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,070
We, if you're like me, there's
plenty of times when you're

65
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:40,049
like, if only life was easier.

66
00:02:40,619 --> 00:02:42,510
If only I didn't have to
put up with these problems.

67
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:45,839
But I want to give you a couple
of really crucial quotes from

68
00:02:45,839 --> 00:02:48,239
the incredible Helen Keller.

69
00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:51,570
Um, Helen Keller is just one of
the great figures of history in

70
00:02:51,570 --> 00:02:56,100
terms of somebody that massively
overcame incredible adversity.

71
00:02:56,279 --> 00:02:57,869
So I want to give you two
quotes, listen carefully.

72
00:02:57,899 --> 00:03:04,140
The first one she says this character
cannot be developed in ease and quiet.

73
00:03:04,469 --> 00:03:07,019
As I say in the video, go and
check out the YouTube version here.

74
00:03:07,049 --> 00:03:09,299
If you're on YouTube, hit
that link because I'm.

75
00:03:09,570 --> 00:03:12,779
Doing videos on this every
single day, seven days a week.

76
00:03:12,779 --> 00:03:14,040
So check out the YouTube version.

77
00:03:14,489 --> 00:03:17,279
But, uh, I love this quote
character cannot be developed

78
00:03:17,279 --> 00:03:19,079
in ease and quiet on the video.

79
00:03:19,079 --> 00:03:23,339
I say, if we sit in the
metaphorical armchair of life,

80
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:25,589
if we sit in a situation.

81
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:27,059
For too long.

82
00:03:27,329 --> 00:03:29,760
I mean, there's definitely times when
we need recovery and rest, but if we

83
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,390
are sitting in a situation where we
are not challenged, we are not pushed.

84
00:03:33,540 --> 00:03:34,859
We are not growing.

85
00:03:35,189 --> 00:03:37,950
Then that is a problem that
is highly problematic because

86
00:03:37,950 --> 00:03:39,239
character can't be developed.

87
00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:40,019
What is character?

88
00:03:40,019 --> 00:03:42,239
Character is the sum
total of our decisions.

89
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:44,369
We become what we do.

90
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,189
Character emerges and ah, in
the, into the English language

91
00:03:47,189 --> 00:03:48,839
around about the 15th century.

92
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,390
Uh, from, uh, comes from old English.

93
00:03:51,929 --> 00:03:54,749
Um, I come in with the exact old
English word, but what it means

94
00:03:54,749 --> 00:03:58,829
is it translates as an indelible
mark written upon the soul.

95
00:03:58,859 --> 00:04:00,809
It's like a tattoo on the us soul.

96
00:04:01,109 --> 00:04:03,390
I kind of writing that defines who we are.

97
00:04:03,839 --> 00:04:07,200
Uh, and, and character is formed in
our decision-making and our choices

98
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,059
in our relationship with adversity.

99
00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:13,320
As Helen Keller says, you
can't do it in ease and quiet.

100
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,209
You can't get better and stronger.

101
00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:18,990
If you're not doing anything
to sort of stress yourself.

102
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,730
In the right way, right?

103
00:04:20,730 --> 00:04:23,010
We don't want to needlessly
stress ourselves, but in the

104
00:04:23,010 --> 00:04:24,420
video again, I talk about.

105
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,670
You know, being in the gym,
I'm going to be in the gym in

106
00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:27,780
a couple of hours from now.

107
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:30,930
And you push heavier weights and
pushing those heavier weights,

108
00:04:30,930 --> 00:04:32,940
forces the body to adapt and grow.

109
00:04:33,330 --> 00:04:36,720
So today, my friend, I'm talking to
you about the difficulties, challenges,

110
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,320
adversities in your life, because
these are the things that are going

111
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,310
to make you stronger, better, more
capable, and more capable of, uh,

112
00:04:44,580 --> 00:04:46,200
greater success, more contribution.

113
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,070
Here's the second quote.

114
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:48,090
Quote from Helen Keller.

115
00:04:48,090 --> 00:04:49,620
She says all the world.

116
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:50,910
Is full.

117
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:52,140
Of suffering.

118
00:04:52,530 --> 00:04:57,090
It is also full of overcoming all
the world is full of suffering,

119
00:04:57,090 --> 00:04:59,490
but it's also full of overcoming.

120
00:04:59,490 --> 00:05:00,510
Have you noticed.

121
00:05:00,990 --> 00:05:03,600
How much we love stories of overcoming.

122
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:07,170
Can you imagine a book that's like,
you know, this person kind of.

123
00:05:07,950 --> 00:05:10,080
Gets up in the morning,
doesn't really do much.

124
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,880
Everything goes really well.

125
00:05:12,540 --> 00:05:14,970
And then the book kind of
finishes and you're like, wow.

126
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:19,890
You know, one of the stories that
we love, what are the great stories

127
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:21,150
that are so exciting for us?

128
00:05:21,150 --> 00:05:24,210
You need to look at the Lord of the
rings and the Hobbit, and you know,

129
00:05:24,210 --> 00:05:27,240
what do we see these characters pulled
out of their comfort, pulled out of

130
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,470
their predictable day-to-day reality
and forced into all sorts of situations.

131
00:05:31,470 --> 00:05:34,680
They never would have chosen,
but that they had to overcome.

132
00:05:35,490 --> 00:05:36,510
I can't lie to your friends.

133
00:05:36,510 --> 00:05:39,480
I've seen the new top gun
movie, Maverick four times.

134
00:05:39,810 --> 00:05:40,710
Oh of that movie.

135
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,770
And what do you see overcoming
you see these characters, a whole

136
00:05:43,770 --> 00:05:45,210
range of characters in that film.

137
00:05:45,630 --> 00:05:48,750
Dealing with all these problems and
adversities and, you know, you're in

138
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:52,680
the cinema and you just like, you know,
it's just so exciting to just watch

139
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:55,680
this happen and you kind of get immersed
in the story and you can pick any

140
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,870
movie or any book that you like where.

141
00:05:58,170 --> 00:06:00,090
You're going to love those
stories of overcoming.

142
00:06:00,630 --> 00:06:04,230
So can I just suggest to you that
your life is participating in

143
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:06,300
that same archetypal narrative?

144
00:06:06,780 --> 00:06:09,240
Like the, the hero's
journey from Conrad, right?

145
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,620
Like, it's this basic idea that
we are called into this mystery of

146
00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:17,790
adversity, difficulty hardship, and
we are going to overcome through it.

147
00:06:17,790 --> 00:06:18,570
I can promise you.

148
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:20,910
I got problems.

149
00:06:20,910 --> 00:06:22,260
Friends, you got problems.

150
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:23,640
We go and got problems.

151
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,030
We do.

152
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:24,570
I get.

153
00:06:24,930 --> 00:06:26,970
I've got a yellow legal
pad in front of me here.

154
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:29,070
I could fill that pad
right now with problems.

155
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:29,730
I really good.

156
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,920
I just got that many it's extraordinary.

157
00:06:32,430 --> 00:06:33,450
You know, I mean that age.

158
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,780
There's a huge Harvard study that
said your unhappiest in your forties,

159
00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:38,700
because you just got so many problems.

160
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:42,120
You've got, you got family and
kids and parents getting older

161
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,550
and business and travel and all
the problems that come with it.

162
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:46,409
Listen to me, you can even
tell I'm not even complaining.

163
00:06:46,409 --> 00:06:46,620
Right.

164
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:48,630
I'm just acknowledging
and just recognizing.

165
00:06:49,050 --> 00:06:50,219
You've got yours.

166
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,520
But I'll tell you what as
we go about solving them.

167
00:06:53,729 --> 00:06:54,539
We grow.

168
00:06:54,780 --> 00:06:55,770
That's the magic.

169
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,000
That's the magic right there.

170
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:57,750
That's what we do.

171
00:06:58,170 --> 00:06:58,500
All right.

172
00:06:58,500 --> 00:06:59,250
I want to wrap this up.

173
00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:00,960
I'd love to keep these
nice and short for you.

174
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,550
Listen to Helen Keller here.

175
00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:05,969
These two quotes, again, character
cannot be developed in ease and quiet.

176
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,460
And secondly, she says all the
world is full of suffering.

177
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:09,719
It is also full.

178
00:07:10,379 --> 00:07:11,189
Of overcoming.

179
00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:12,479
I tell you something about yourself.

180
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:13,439
You are an overcomer.

181
00:07:13,739 --> 00:07:14,789
You may not feel like that.

182
00:07:14,789 --> 00:07:15,479
You may have like, yeah.

183
00:07:15,509 --> 00:07:15,719
Yeah.

184
00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:17,219
This is just trying to pump me up.

185
00:07:17,219 --> 00:07:17,369
Yeah.

186
00:07:17,369 --> 00:07:18,209
I am trying to pump you up.

187
00:07:18,269 --> 00:07:21,119
That's exactly what I'm trying to do
because life's hard enough as it is,

188
00:07:21,119 --> 00:07:24,479
and we need good people around us to
encourage us, inspire us, push us forward.

189
00:07:24,509 --> 00:07:27,179
Tell us that we are overcome
as you are an overcomer.

190
00:07:27,329 --> 00:07:29,639
You've got this far,
look back over your life.

191
00:07:29,669 --> 00:07:31,079
Look how many problems you've had.

192
00:07:31,229 --> 00:07:33,359
Look how many heartaches you've
had looking at suffering.

193
00:07:33,389 --> 00:07:35,369
You've already endured and overcome.

194
00:07:35,429 --> 00:07:36,239
You got this.

195
00:07:36,239 --> 00:07:37,229
You've already proved it.

196
00:07:37,710 --> 00:07:38,790
So just keep going.

197
00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:42,090
And, you know, Tony Robbins used
to say that the, the, um, you know,

198
00:07:42,090 --> 00:07:45,270
the, the results of successes, you
just get a better quality, a problem.

199
00:07:45,479 --> 00:07:46,739
You just get a bigger problem.

200
00:07:47,099 --> 00:07:48,059
They just keep growing.

201
00:07:48,449 --> 00:07:50,969
The knives, you become a senior
leader in an organization.

202
00:07:50,969 --> 00:07:51,359
What have you got?

203
00:07:51,389 --> 00:07:52,409
You just got bigger problems.

204
00:07:52,529 --> 00:07:54,839
You just got more people
sending their problems to you.

205
00:07:55,379 --> 00:07:56,039
So friends.

206
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:59,159
You know, What happens here
is that it doesn't stop.

207
00:07:59,189 --> 00:08:00,149
We don't get to this point where.

208
00:08:00,209 --> 00:08:00,689
We go yep.

209
00:08:00,719 --> 00:08:01,709
Fix my problems.

210
00:08:01,739 --> 00:08:02,309
I'm done.

211
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:04,169
I'm going to go and
find that metaphorical.

212
00:08:04,589 --> 00:08:06,149
Um, chair of ease and comfort.

213
00:08:06,749 --> 00:08:07,679
Move over Helen gala.

214
00:08:07,709 --> 00:08:08,399
Get out of my chair.

I want us amazing comfort.

216
00:08:09,449 --> 00:08:10,199
Now it's not going to happen.

217
00:08:10,229 --> 00:08:12,089
You just going to get more, you
going to get bigger ones and

218
00:08:12,089 --> 00:08:14,249
you're going to get them till
the end and all that way through.

219
00:08:14,249 --> 00:08:14,849
You're going to grow.

220
00:08:14,849 --> 00:08:15,599
You're going to struggle.

221
00:08:15,629 --> 00:08:16,319
You're going to strive.

222
00:08:16,349 --> 00:08:16,619
You're going to.

00:08:16,679 --> 00:08:19,709
Push and you're going to become someone
really magnificent in the journey.
