00:00:00
I'm trying not to cry. I'm just like um
00:00:03
like I hate suffering. I've suffered
00:00:06
myself and so I hate to see anybody
00:00:07
suffer. And so um this is my mission.
00:00:11
This is what I'm made for. And um I'm
00:00:13
just one guy. I can't do everything, but
00:00:15
I can do a lot.
00:00:18
Um
00:00:18
>> and it still brings you to tears. Why is
00:00:20
that?
00:00:20
>> So I grew up in a tough environment. I
00:00:22
had four different fathers. My mom, she
00:00:24
drank alcohol and took prescription
00:00:26
drugs. We had no money, no food. And
00:00:28
then the thing that changed my whole
00:00:29
life was a knock on the door on
00:00:30
Thanksgiving. There was this tall guy
00:00:32
standing there with two bags of
00:00:33
groceries and an uncooked frozen turkey.
00:00:35
And my dad saw this man. He said, "We
00:00:37
don't take charity." And he went and
00:00:39
slammed the door on the guy. But it
00:00:40
became a very useful and distinction for
00:00:42
me about how he and I processed that day
00:00:44
differently because there's three
00:00:46
decisions you make every moment of your
00:00:47
life. And the real problem is the story
00:00:49
you have. For example, that day my dad's
00:00:51
focus was the fact he not fed his family
00:00:53
and he was worthless. However, I took
00:00:55
that as strangers care. And so the story
00:00:57
is the belief you've told yourself over
00:00:59
and over cuz belief is the invisible
00:01:01
force that controls everything in your
00:01:02
life. And then there's the third
00:01:04
decision. What am I going to do? And so
00:01:06
what I decided to do is someday I'm
00:01:07
going to do this for others and end
00:01:09
suffering where I can. And so I'm going
00:01:10
to show you how to get clear on what you
00:01:12
really want. Figure out what's been
00:01:13
stopping you. Put the plan in place and
00:01:15
teach you the most important thing
00:01:16
that's made me successful.
00:01:18
>> And I don't think people fully realize
00:01:19
the significance of how many of the most
00:01:21
influential people on planet Earth you
00:01:22
have worked with and continue to work
00:01:24
with. What is the pattern that you
00:01:25
noticed in those people?
