00:00As John F. Kennedy said, there are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less
00:11than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction. There's just something about the status
00:20quo that is literally intoxicating. You don't want to move, you don't want to put things at
00:26risk, you want to keep things as they are, and I get it, change is scary. Change may be one of the
00:32single most paralyzing elements that we as humans face, that in your space, in that little area that
00:39you've carved out for yourself, it may be small and it may keep you less than you could be, but
00:44God damn it, does it feel good? Because it's safe, because you know your enemies, you know where
00:53everything is at. You know all the things that you need to know to feel comfortable, but in that
00:59comfort is a world that shrinks around you, is a world that literally is forcing you to confine
01:06yourself to the size of that box. It's making you only as big as the space that you've allowed
01:12yourself, so whatever change you refuse to embrace, not only does it freeze you in time,
01:17but it stunts your growth. And if you want to become something, that is literally the act of
01:24changing. It is literally the act of rebirth, of making yourself something new, but in that you must
01:30face the terror of change. You must face that you may fail. You must face that you may embarrass
01:38yourself. You have to face that in the unknown could be the worst. But unless you're able to do
01:46that, you'll never get to taste the vastness of living outside the box, that merely having a life
01:52that isn't confined is, in and of itself, far more interesting and beautiful than anything could
01:57ever be when it is locked in one place. When you have a box that has no windows, your world can be
02:03nothing but a wall. But when you have a window, when you have a door, that becomes an entryway into
02:12something completely new. And as Pablo Picasso said, action is the fundamental key to all success.
02:20So if you want to succeed, if you want something more for your life, you have to be willing to walk
02:25through that door. And if you're in a box that has no door, then you've got to be willing to kick one
02:29open. You've got to be willing to claw through feet of concrete, if that's what it takes to get
02:34on the other side. But you've got to be willing to push yourself out of that comfort zone to find out
02:39what could be, to take control of your destiny and realize the fundamental human truth. Only you
02:46control what you can be. And if you want to escape, the one thing you need is belief.
02:55And as Phil Knight said, belief is irresistible. Once you believe that you can act in accordance
03:05with something that will actually help move you forward, once you believe to the core of your
03:10being that there is no one, no one better suited to building the life of your dreams than you,
03:19then suddenly safety becomes the least safe thing that you could do. Suddenly being in a space that
03:25is so narrowly defined is the only thing that's going to choke the life out of you. So the only
03:29real risk is not to have faith in yourself. The only real risk is to stay put. The only real risk
03:36is to play it safe. So my friends, find that belief in yourself. Take that risk. Act. Move. Do something.
03:47Define a new life. Build a new you. That's the key to success.
03:55I am particularly proud and happy about the young filmmakers, actors, singers, writers, producers that are coming up behind my
04:25generation. In particular, Barry Jenkins. Young people understand, this young man made 10, 15, 20 short films
04:36before he got the opportunity to make Moonlight. So never give up. Without commitment, you'll never start.
04:45But more importantly, without consistency, you'll never finish. It's not easy. If it was easy, there'd be no Kerry Washington.
04:57If it was easy, there'd be no Taraji Henson. P. Henson. If it were easy, there'd be no Octavia Spencer. But not only that, if it were easy, there'd be no Biola Davis.
05:10If it were easy, there'd be no Michael T. Williamson. No Stephen McKinley Henderson. No Russell Hornsby. If it were easy, there'd be no Denzel Washington. So,
05:21keep working. Keep striving. Never give up. Fall down seven times. Get up eight.
05:30Ease
05:31is a greater threat
05:34to progress
05:36than hardship.
05:41Ease is a greater threat
05:42to progress than hardship. So,
05:44keep moving. Keep growing. Keep learning.
05:48See you at work.
05:52I moved to California with $700 in my pocket and my toddler.
05:58And I have to
06:01fight the good fight because people are telling me, I can't. You can't do this. You can't. Are you crazy?
06:06You're moving to California with your son. You'll never make it. I was 26
06:10when I decided to come here. There's the age thing. Oh, you're too old.
06:15If you listen to people,
06:19and if you allow people to project their fears onto you,
06:24you won't live.
06:26What if I believed those people
06:28who told me that when I became pregnant in college that I wouldn't finish?
06:33I walked across that stage with my son on my hip
06:36and I collected my degree, my diploma.
06:41I didn't hear the naysayers when they were like,
06:44you're too old to go to California. If you don't hit by 25, you're not going to make it.
06:48I will be 46 this year. I am just touching the surface. I am just getting started.
06:53I feel like most of the people I know are like way ahead of me in life by now.
06:57And I've messed up on college a couple of times. I just can't really see myself being successful anymore.
07:11You've got to do something different, right?
07:13I definitely have to do something different. Otherwise, I don't think I'll make it to 50.
07:17now. Yeah, because really you're you're wasting away, right?
07:22Yeah.
07:26Are you really in control of your life? Because you know only about three or four people out of 100 are.
07:32You can change anything you want. And you can begin like that. All you have to do is understand
07:44how to do what you already know how to do.
07:46So the first thing you need to realize here is that you're made of habits. If you look at your
07:57day today, you may be sitting at home watching this video. You may be watching it on your phone.
08:01But if you just look at your general day, I doubt it was very different than yesterday or the day
08:07before. If you really are realistic, most of your days are pretty similar. You wake up, you do the same
08:13type of things. You eat the same type of food. You have the same type of activities. You go to work.
08:18You hang out with the same type of people. And even your thoughts are most likely the same.
08:25To change something, you must build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. Now think,
08:33you never change things by fighting existing reality. To change things, you build a new model
08:40model that makes the existing model obsolete. I think that there's a lot of things that I can't,
08:48I do need help with. What? Um, I don't know how to control my mind. It's, it's, it's creative. I don't
08:54know how to control my sleep patterns. I don't know how to fix a lot of things that I believe are broken
08:59inside of me. Like what? My mentality is not, is not fully there. I believe that all the creativity and
09:07the, uh, the talent to, to do these things, to rather be an actor or to, uh, create suits for a
09:15motion picture or even just be a vital, uh, person working on set. I think that I do have everything
09:21that it takes to that. I just can't control it and contain it. The honest to God truth is he is
09:27borderline creative genius. He could win a Grammy. He could win an acting award, but I tell him,
09:32you're never going to do it sleep in 20 hours in your room. I just have never gotten through to him
09:37to say, if you want those things, you have to go work hard to get it. So if you really want those
09:43things, you've got to get right. I want to suggest that you take a real honest look at your results.
09:52You see, I think it's good for us to look at our results every now and then really ask some serious
09:57questions. You have to know where you are and you have to know where you're going.
10:02If you don't know exactly what you want or you let yourself get beyond that to something general,
10:06you're not going to achieve it. Clarity is power. You got to know the specific result you're after.
10:11What do you want? If you can't answer that question right now in your personal life,
10:15in your body, in your relationships, in your finances, in your spirituality,
10:19then you're not going to be as fulfilled as you want to be. Clarity is power. The more clear you are
10:23about exactly what it is you want, the more your brain knows how to get there. Your brain is a
10:28servomechanism. It's like a bomb. Those bombs, those missiles, they have a servomechanism. So if the
10:33target moves, it knows what the target is, it follows it. Your brain, when you condition it,
10:37knows exactly what to go for and will find a way to get there. Define the problem for me. What do you
10:43think your problem is? I think that I just, I'm just not motivated to do anything in the real world
10:51anymore because I've just achieved so much online that if I gave up now, all of that would feel like
10:58a waste. There's really nothing to show for it. I haven't really gained anything out of playing online
11:05when it comes to my life. Realize that your life situation here today, okay, is a result and it's
11:12basically determined by all of your habits, okay? And if you want more, if you want something different,
11:17you can't let these habits just, you know, form on their own. So what I want you to do right now,
11:23okay, is look at your life. Look at your life situation. Look at where the you're at
11:27and ask yourself, okay, very honestly, very bluntly, how did you get here? Okay, what are all the little
11:32events, all the little decisions, all the little factors, you know, that again, accumulation of that
11:38got you to this point here. If you keep up your present disciplines and keep up the present pace
11:44that you're on, where will you be in five years? Now, you can keep on the same path for the next
11:48couple of years as you have the past two, but if you wish to, if you wish to, and maybe everything's
11:54okay for you and you don't need to, but if you need to make some changes, I'm telling you, you can
11:58start doing it today so that the next two years will be drastically different than the last two.
12:05Question, everyone else, they've seen us cars.
12:07What do they do? So we're just simply asking people what they do.
12:10What do they do for you? Tell us, tell us.
12:14I know a lot of my friends who own super cars, and I think they all, one thing is they're very
12:21disciplined, they work really hard, and the years of dedication for their work, hard work,
12:27they come to a point that they could afford these cars.
12:32Every single successful person that I know has these patents, okay, he's extremely proactive,
12:38no one just drifts to the top out of luck.
12:42Um, tell me about, uh, what was your secret? How did you become a self-made multi-multi-millionaire?
12:47You know, how did, how did it all happen?
12:49Uh, it's, you know, it's funny. Everybody wants a shortcut, right? That's the most common question
12:54people always ask me. Tell me the key. Yeah.
12:56And, uh, there is no magic. It's just a lot of little things you gotta do every day.
13:01Success is all those boring, sexy things that have to get done
13:05every single day to move the ball forward. There's gonna be bad days, there's gonna be
13:09dark days, but you gotta embrace it because that pain is what makes you stronger. Success is not
13:15measured on the days when the sun shines. Success is measured on the dark, stormy, cloudy days,
13:21and if you can't absorb failure, you're never gonna meet success.
13:26Most people don't know why they're where they are. You see, I have found one thing.
13:33Everyone knows how to do a better job than they're doing. That's not the problem. We do know how.
13:40The problem is we're not doing what we know how to do.
13:44People think, oh, you're living this disciplined lifestyle, so that means you, you, you don't have
13:48any freedom. And it's actually the exact opposite. I have freedom because I have discipline. I have,
13:53I have, you know, financial freedom because I have financial discipline. I have more time. I have
14:00more time because I have the discipline to get up in the morning, you know, before most normal people
14:04get up. Almost everything you do from the time you get up in the morning is habit. So start to think
14:10about yourself. What would be the best habits to have? Develop the habits. You've got the brain power,
14:16you've got the energy, but develop the habits of success and look around you at the people that you
14:20admire, you know, and list what makes you admire them compared to somebody else that looks equally
14:25strong or equally talented. And those are, those are things that you can do. I mean, just write them
14:32down. As we all know, real growth and development cannot take place overnight. You must pay the price
14:40over an extended period of time to reap the benefits of these habits. So I encourage you to make the
14:46investment, put forth the time and effort, focus on the kinds of changes you can make consistently
14:53and over time to develop these habits. Well, I think the one thing that discipline definitely does
15:00help you with is it helps you get things done. And when you get things done, when you, you actually do
15:07things, you have more success. If you have more success and sometimes a big part of success is just not
15:13being lazy and just doing it. Just get, that's like 90% of it is just showing up. Get there and start
15:19working. Like you're not going to feel perfect every day. The pro goes to work and it doesn't matter if
15:26you're sick. It doesn't matter if you have kids. It doesn't matter what you, you're a pro and you go to work.
15:33You will receive from the world who you become, but the doorway to success, I suggest to you,
15:40swings inward, not outward. And the best way to have a game-changing life and the best way to
15:46have a world-class lifestyle and the best way to change the world is to change yourself. I mean,
15:53we get from life who we become.
15:58So, you want to get better? You want to self-improve? Stop looking for a shortcut
16:06and go find your alarm clock and find your discipline and find your guts and your passion
16:15and your drive and find your will. And then, and then you will find your freedom.
16:26I never knew how to turn things around. You show me your crowd, I'll show you your future.
16:36It's simple, right? There's three types of people you need in your life.
16:40You need the inspired, the excited, and the grateful.
16:46Every one of them you will need for the rest of your life.
16:49But your, your biggest, your biggest distraction is, tell me what your foundation is.
16:57Where, where do you go when you need peace?
17:00You don't know what to do? You know what to do.
17:04But the people you're around ain't doing what you're supposed to be doing.
17:07I'm begging you, man. I'm begging you from a man to a man. Let go. Let go. Let go of these people who
17:19you know aren't for you. You know better, but you're not doing better.
17:27Make a choice. Like, you just decide. What is it about you, about what it is that you provide
17:40that will make you stand out from the competition?
17:48Think about yourself. Think about your goals. Think about your dreams.
17:53Being in a great house does not make you great.
18:02It's one thing to have great parents, but that doesn't make you great.
18:07It's one thing to work for a great company, corporation that's great, but that doesn't
18:13mean you're great because you're in that great house or that great corporation or that great church
18:18or that great family that you're a member of. You're either adding to the greatness of
18:23that family or you're diminishing it.
18:29And they said it's possible to be in a great house, but you not be great.
18:33You not be gold. You not even be silver. You not be brass. You just be dirt or clay.
18:42A lot of people think that wealth makes you great, but it's a lot of wealthy people who are not great people.
18:49On the other hand, poverty is equated to greatness in a lot of people that that if they have nothing,
18:58they must be great.
19:02You're not greatness. Your greatness is not based upon your income.
19:06There are some people who are good at doing, but they're not good at being.
19:15Greatness will cost you something, not somebody else. It'll cost you something.
19:22It's going to cost you some time. It's going to cost you some energy.
19:25It's going to cost you some resources. It's going to cost you some hours of your life laying down,
19:33paying the price, going the extra mile, doing what other people are not willing to do.
19:38Greatness is not cheap. Greatness always costs more. That's why there's not many people who achieve
19:44greatness. They're not willing to pay the price. Greatness is not immediate.
19:50In other words, greatness takes time to develop.
19:57You can't just run in your room and come out great.
20:03Greatness is not immediate. You got to stay with it. You got to stay at it. You got to keep working
20:08on it. We give up too quickly. Greatness is not common.
20:13Greatness does not have to have the approval of everyone.
20:22And if you are the kind of person that will have to have the approval of everyone and understanding
20:28of everyone, you'll never achieve greatness. Greatness is uncommon.
20:33You cannot have the approval of everyone and be great.
20:37And the sooner you understand that, the sooner you'll do great in life.
20:44You're always going to live your life at the lowest common denominator of your friends,
20:49if you don't watch it. You can't believe one way and live another way and be great.
20:57Greatness is living what you believe and living up to your potential.
21:01Usually you will not discover greatness in a person until they go through hardship.
21:12It's the hardship, the crisis that brings greatness out of people.
21:19There's something inside an internal reservoir that won't lie down and stay down and whine and call
21:26their most three defeated friends and have a pity party. But there's something about a person
21:31that when the, when the waters get troubled and all hell's breaking loose, greatness will step up to
21:36the crisis. Sometimes that will set you back 10, 15 years or you can listen to that advice and it can
21:46catapult you to a place of greatness. But you must be teachable to be great.
21:53You never come to a place that you cease from learning. Great people never stop learning. People
22:02who are very skilled at what they do, they still want to learn. How do I get better? How do I get better?
22:08One of the qualities of greatness is it's always wanting to get better, wanting to learn more,
22:13wanting to know people who are not good, are not open to instruction.
22:20To be great, you have to be able to receive correction. You have to be able to be told you're not doing
22:28this right. And you have to be able to be told that with a good attitude. Keep a good attitude.
22:36What do you want to be in the world? Who do you want to be? Not what do you want to do? Not what do
22:42you want to achieve? Who do you want to be? What is the kind of person when they're reading your eulogy?
22:48What do you want the words to be said about the kind of person you have been in the world?
22:58Do you know the answer to that question? Do you know the answer to that question? I'm asking that of
23:05everybody. Do you know what that is?
23:14If there are a lot of negative people in your life, don't look at them.
23:18Look at the energy that you are creating to attract them.
23:26Don't look at them. Look at yourself. What are you doing to draw those people?
23:31Because if you are surrounded by negative people, there's a part of you that's willing to tolerate that.
23:42I'm telling you, the negative energy will change. And when you become that force for yourself,
23:47you won't allow it. I don't care what their title or role is in your life. You just really won't.
23:52Sometimes you have to divorce your friends and divorce your family members.
24:00And if you handle them with love in doing it, they will come back. You will have an opportunity to
24:10reconcile. I speak from what I know. But I've had family members for whom I've said,
24:16I will not allow you to treat me this way.
24:24No matter where you are in the world right now, close your eyes.
24:27And he would list, as I'm going to do for you, different objects. And I want you to allow those
24:37objects to appear before your mind and then let them go as I call out the objects. Okay.
24:42A full moon. An oak tree by the bank of a river. A red triangle.
25:00Now open your eyes.
25:01What did you learn from that experience?
25:12The observer of the red triangle, the full moon, the tree by the river, is the same observer who
25:21observes all the thoughts that come in and out of your head all day long. And just like you allow,
25:27you could let the red triangle and the full moon come in and out of your mind. You have the same
25:33control over all the thoughts that are jamming you up all day long.
