Ever feel like you have no idea what you want to do with your life and you just don't know where to start? Well, you're not alone. You will be tested over and over again with one goal in mind: to see if what you said to the world that you want or what you think you want is really what you really want.
00:00:00.00030 seconds. One time for the underdog. Ignition sequence start. Let me see you put them up. Reach the sky, touch the stars up above. Cause it's one time for the underdog. One time for the underdog.
00:00:16.920You know, I want to talk about the strange concept of what happens when you say, I want to dot, dot, dot. Okay, man, I want to make history. I want to go be a billionaire. I want to be a million. I want to build something that's never been built before. I want to be a CEO. I want to be a leader. I want to be a founder. I want to be an executive. I want to be somebody that's respected. I want to go out there and build the largest dot, dot, dot. The whole one day message of the last week that went out, right? You say that.
00:00:44.540Well, that's great if you say that. Here's what happens when you say that. Here's what happens when you say that. When my boys tell me, daddy, I want to play iPad. For each 10 page they read, they get 10 minutes of play time. And each two page they read, they take a test with me and I ask them three questions and they have to answer the questions. When they answer them right, they continue.
00:01:14.500For each answer they get wrong, they lose one minute. So if you get three answers wrong, you end up finishing 10 pages, but you only get seven minutes instead of 10 minutes. You're like, oh my gosh, dad. Read, study the two pages. Don't just skim through it. I want you to study through the page. I'll ask them just any question. Like right now they're reading a book about presidents, about Disney, and about Edison, right?
00:01:44.500I want to say, I want to say, I want to be a person of this level of respect. Whether it's the higher power, a spirit, the marketplace will do the following to you. They'll say, okay, you want that, huh? No problem. No problem.
00:01:58.320Let's see how bad you want it. Let's poke you here. How do you like that? Can you handle that? Ooh, you can't handle that, can you? You're not ready for it. Let's poke you here. Ooh, you handled that well. Good for you.
00:02:13.260Let's bother you here. Let's throw a curveball from here. Ooh, you couldn't hit the curveball, could you? You're not ready for it yet. Okay, let's throw a fast pitch. Boom, here. Let's give you a public embarrassing moment here, a loss. Oh, you can't handle a loss yet. And went to your ego, you started blaming everybody. You're not ready for it yet. Or let's give you another loss. Oh, good for you. You handled it well. You didn't say, I don't care about this stuff.
00:02:42.680You went and improved. You took responsibility. Maybe you're ready. Let's give you another hard challenge here. Bam! Good for you. Very impressed. You know what? Let's give you a bunch of gold and love. Here you go. You did good. Now you get to the next level. Okay? Now you got some victory. Let's see how bad, because you're seven levels away from getting to where you want to be, whatever that level is you want to get to. Let's throw some more heat here. And they notice you're getting better and better and better and better and better and better.
00:03:12.680Eventually, you get exactly what you want. But anytime you declare your intentions of what you want or who you want to be, you're going to get tested over and over and over again with one intention.
00:03:23.540To see if what you said to the world that you want to be or you want to have is real, is valid, is serious.
00:03:29.420If it is, then you keep graduating levels until eventually one day you wake up and you say, my gosh, everything I said I want, I have.
00:03:37.500But I had to go through a lot of trials and tribulations to get here.
00:03:41.960And the final product isn't really what you ended up getting or what you ended up having.
00:03:48.340Who you ended up becoming is a million times more valuable than what you ended up getting, what life you're living, the money you have, all that other stuff.
00:03:57.720But you will be tested on the way to getting to where you want to get to.
00:04:02.280Anyways, have a killer week this week, everybody.
