what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and if you are new here my channel is all about
improving your mental and emotional well-being so if you would like to feel
free to click that little subscribe button I got a ton of videos but anyways
I want to make a quick video because I've been tripping out like Will Smith
like he's a cool actor he does some bad movies but get some great movies anyways
Will Smith is like I don't know a couple months ago he just like started doing
all this like motivational stuff he started his own YouTube channel he's
been getting involved on social media and like some of the stuff I'm like dude
this guy this guy knows what he's talking about and this new video that he
had that I stumbled across on Facebook is talking about fault versus
responsibility and this is something that I try to teach people all the time
but I wanted to show you this clip from Will Smith and then share a little bit
about how it relates to me and how it might be able to relate to you so let's
check it out I was just having a debate with a friend
of mine and we got stuck on the difference between fault and
responsibility she kept talking bout how something was somebody's fault
somebody's fault was like it really don't matter whose fault it is that
something is broken if it's your responsibility to fix it for example is
it's not somebody's fault if their father was an abusive alcoholic but it's
for damn sure their responsibility to figure out how they're gonna do with
those traumas and try to make a life out of it it's not your fault if your
partner cheated and ruined your marriage but it is for damn sure your
responsibility to figure out how to take that pain and how to overcome that and
build a happy life for yourself and responsibility do not go together it
sucks but they don't when something is somebody's fault we want them to suffer
we want them punished we want them to pay you want it to be their
responsibility to fix it but that's that's not how it works especially when
it's your heart all right so yeah Will Smith is talking about like there's
fault and there's responsibility and so many of us we cling on to the fault for
a lot of us that's a resentment we cling on to that resentment and I've done
other videos about forgiveness I did one about how Shane Dawson learned how to
forgive his father for walking out on him I also did one about should we
forgive Logan Paul and the thing that people get twisted all the time is that
forgiveness is not an act of kindness towards the other person or letting them
off the hook forgiveness is an act for ourselves so we can grow and move
forward and heal ourselves but so many of us we cling on to this this fault of
somebody else that we say sick we say angry we say resentful we stay depressed
we stay anxious we just were filled full of hate
so like when will smith lays down that example of like yeah it wasn't my fault
that I was the son of an alcoholic mom it wasn't my fault
that these things happen to me when I was a child these things weren't my
fault it wasn't my fault when my girlfriend cheated on me it wasn't my
fault when other women you know broke my heart it was not my fault well let's be
honest okay some of some of those breakups were my fault but anyways
knowing the difference between faults and responsibility helps us progress and
move forward like something I try to teach my clients all the time is ask
yourself is this useful is it useful for me to sit and dwell and hold these
resentments and not move forward because I'm sitting there worrying or obsessing
about the past and things that weren't my fault it doesn't really have much use
I'll never forget the first time this really related to me was I was listening
to this speaker many years ago when I was first getting sober working on my
mental health and like I had a rough childhood right and I listen to this guy
speak and to sum up part of his story he was adopted from the Philippines brought
over to the to America he ended up growing up like in the 90s era when AOL
chat rooms were a thing and he wanted to run away from home he ended up meeting a
guy online and the guy was like yeah sure run away and come stay with me
right and he ended up doing that and he ended up getting molested
well this turned into an more of a troubled
childhood he also dove into drugs and alcohol and
he became a pretty bad kid he went to a bunch of different special schools and
those those institutions for troubled teenagers and stuff and when he went to
one of those um he was physically abused as well as sexually abused right and he
just went on this downward spiral of drinking and using drugs and all this
stuff well when he finally got clean and he met with his sponsor he shared his
story with his sponsor and his sponsor said this and this is something I will
never forget because it relates to so many of us so so many of us his sponsor
said this to him and here's what I tell all my clients - I'm sorry that this
happened to you but it's no longer an excuse to live the way that you're a
living and I was like damn right because like if this guy went through so much in
his life so much trauma right and somebody was able to have shown that
tough love and say like hey I'm sorry that happened to you I'm really really
sorry I know that wasn't your fault but it's not an excuse to do the things that
you're doing to be a drug addict to be into alcoholic to hurt your friends to
hurt your family to hurt everybody you encounter it is no longer an excuse and
that's some real talk right there right we have the power of choice we we have
one or two options always always always I'll make some more videos on this power
of choice that we have every day we have a choice this choice is to dwell on the
past Harbor resentments sit in self-pity right we can do any of those things or
we can do something to work on our growth our mental or emotional or
spiritual growth we have one or two options the problem is is that most of
us like to dwell most of us like to sit in the past but I always remember always
remember you have a choice how I'll be honest with you I'm teaching my son that
at a young young age you know a lot of us parents you know we have children who
get into bad moods and if you're you know if you're a loving parent you know
sometimes we feel bad when our kids in a bad mood but something I've I started
teaching my son a couple years ago he's nine years old now is that okay we
talked about it we disgust my son meditates - and I told
him I said you now have a choice you can let this one thing ruin the rest of your
day or we can move forward you have that
option and when I give him that power when I give my son that power to realize
it is now his choice on how he acts the rest of the day right he usually makes
the right decision but so many of us we sit back and we think that we don't have
a choice in the matter when we actually do so I really want you to start
thinking about this this whole fault verse responsibility okay and before I
let you go I'm gonna end with this last clip from Will Smith your heart your
life your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility
alone long as we're pointing a finger and and stuck in whose fault
something is we're jamming and trapped into victim mode when you're in victim
mode you're stuck in suffering road to power is in taking responsibility your
heart your life your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility

North Korea: Trump latest THREAT proves he will NOT let America be held HOSTAGE by Kim - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:07.
North Korea: Trump's latest THREAT proves he will NOT let America be held HOSTAGE by Kim
DONALD TRUMP has used his State of the Union
speech to issue a stark threat to North Korea's "evil regime" and it proves he will not let
America be a victim of the hermit nation's nuclear regime, former military advisor Rebeccah
Heinrichs said.
Donald Trump will not let American cities fall "hostage" to a nuclear attack, said
nuclear deterrence expert Rebeccah Heinrichs.
North Korea has ramped up its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes in recent months
and continually threatened to target the US.
Speaking to Fox News, Mr Heinrichs slammed Obama for failing to address Kim Jong-un's
nuclear ambitions during his time in office.
She said: "I am very pleased to see President Trump call attention to the evil of the regime.
"We saw that defector - how powerful was that when he held up his crutches what a picture
of liberty and what this person did in order to get out of the clutches of this despotic
regime in North Korea."
She said it is "important" for President Trump to draw attention to the "brutality
of the regime".
Mr Heinrichs said: "It's because the American people didn't know that this is the kind
of regime that does not deserve the privilege and the responsibility of having nuclear weapons
that can harm so many people.
"President Trump is saying a regime like this, we are not going to let that hold American
cities hostage to a nuclear attack."
Donald Trump used his State of the Union speech to warn Americans that Pyongyang's pursuit
of nuclear missiles could "very soon threaten our homeland" and vowed a continued campaign
to prevent that.
In his first State of the Union speech to the US Congress, Mr Trump sent a warning to
Kim Jong-un: "North Korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten
our homeland.
"We are waging a campaign of maximum pressure to prevent that from ever happening."
President Trump also used the same speech highlight the brutal regime of Kim Jong-un
when he told the story of a North Korean defector's journey who suffered torture and starvation.
Mr Ji cried as President Trump described how he was a "starving boy in North Korea who
escaped 22 years ago from his homeland, where he had been run over by a train while trying
to steal coal to barter for food."
The US leader said: "In the process, he passed out on the train tracks, exhausted
from hunger.
He woke up as a train ran over his limbs."
Mr Ji lost a hand and a foot after "amputations without anything to dull the pain".

Tony Robbins: Things That Will Blow Your Mind ( Tony Robbins Motivation ) - Duration: 32:59.
I'm very pragmatic about what does it take to make life work But what I want
you to know is Australia of all the places on the face of the earth when I'm
talking to my client he just saying Tony of all the place on earth is one place
you'd pick to have a great quality of life with your family that will weather
the storm the best that's Australia by far you guys are in the best place on
earth to make it through this situation to take advantage of it but the real
secret is whether you suffer or whether you succeed is not going to be based on
the season some people freeze to death in the middle of the winter other
people's ski and snowboard it really comes down to what are you gonna do so
since coming here I was thinking what could I do to show you how to take
advantage of the season what can they do to show you how you can
absolutely doesn't matter what the season is is a bad season financially a
good or bad time to start a business tell me which one when the economy is
toughest is it a good or bad time to start a business you tell me which one
you know of course that's what he expects me to say is good but it's the
truth if you look at the fortune 1000 companies around the world 65% of them
were started in a depression or a recession the reason is they were
started with somebody when all the competition was freaking out
somebody could start like Apple computers in the middle of a recession
with selling their Volkswagen bus and come out with some ideas because
everybody else was scared it wasn't willing to do whatever it took
Disney started in the depression by Fortune magazine started in depression
how you gonna build your fortune in the middle of a depression it's why I didn't
want to strongest companies in the magazine business a business that's
pretty horrible for most people if you look at Microsoft it was a recession you
look at the best and most powerful companies it's because they understood
something that's really critical and that is don't ask it be easier ask and
make yourself better if you get strong during the tough time you'll dominate
for the rest of your life but what I think will be useful is maybe walk you
through a tool of that has developed over the years to
turn companies around and the fundamental tool is there are areas of
your business every one of you in this room no matter what your business is if
you're in business you're probably doing something well how many got seminarian
your business you're proud of whether it be marketing or sales or the product or
service how am I gonna do your products AI how do we got an area you're less
than proud of say ah the challenge is where does our energy go to the areas we
feel most skilled and powerful in or least skilled and least powerful and
which one now our energy tends to go to the areas we feel most powerful we do
what makes us feel good we do what we feel confident in not what we feel
incompetent in and business is complex it doesn't have to be but it is so I
thought maybe maybe a foreman I could give you there is let's walk through
what the business environments really like right now and let us see if we can
walk through what are the areas that if you were just to do this if I never saw
you again and my goal is to see you again my goal is do you have enough
value go okay this is no brainer I'm gonna take four days when he comes back
undergoing this experience and be immersed and grow my business 31% but if
I don't here's what I want you to do or if you don't I'm gonna cover seven areas
that are what I call the seven forces of your business each force has a forceful
impact on your level of success or failure your profitability etc there's
some areas that you're doing good in some areas you could do better in some
areas you're very weakened the problem is a chain is only as strong as its
weakest what and in business so many businesses go through challenges because
those weak links are the ones that destroy your not your strengths it's
true around the world actually Australian business is interesting a
little bit more intense than even business in the u.s. in one category
what percentage of Australian businesses are still alive five years after they
start who knows what percentage of Australian businesses
are still alive five years after they start I'll give you a clue 90% of all
Australian businesses are in the first five years if you and I are
gonna really make this thing work it's that we all look and say okay why did
businesses why do they fail why does so many businesses fail why is
it I mean a good intention people smart people strong people and yet they still
fail and maybe they make good products good services they had great advantages
when they start they may haven't been successful for three or four or five
years or even ten years and now they're gone I will tell you what I've seen in
my life and I've had the privilege now of working around the world with 50
million people through my books and tapes and audio and video programs but
I've worked with 4 million people 4 million from a hundred different
countries over the last 34 years I can clearly tell you there's patterns you
don't miss when you've been with that many people and that many businesses and
the one guy don't I can tell you above anything else is most businesses fail
because they fail to anticipate what's coming write that down write down
anticipation is the ultimate power if you fail to anticipate no matter how
smart you are you're gonna end up reacting and your
business will pay the price and the price and the sport rate is death the
death of the business just like a gladiator now what do I mean by this
maybe I can show you what I mean by giving you an example that more people
can relate to I want you to set up your chair with some energy so I know you're
in a city of some energy makes you the person that she's got some energy and I
want you to yell out I if this describes an experience you really have and I want
you to be honest if if it doesn't describe an experience you don't say
anything but if it describes experience you have I want you ready to go I all
right so here's my question how many of you in this room have ever experienced
the total and complete humiliation becomes when you play a video game
against the child how many have this experience say I
how many have this happen more than once they I who always wins we play a video
game against the child who the child why is because they're smarter quicker
sir in fact don't even tell me why think about how the process occurs first of
all you don't play many video games so you're smart you don't offer to be a
part of this game it usually occurs because one of your children or you may
be how you're an aunt or an uncle to someone or friend and they say to you at
Christmastime auntie UNK somebody mom dad play this game with me and you say
no no I don't play those games you can join it I'm not good at it I think you
know it's really easy let me show you let me hand you this little guy lingo
just chew chew chew chew chew chew chew chew
bam bam bam you just shoot guys just like that it's so easy and they would
come on do this with me and finally you acquiesce and then what
happens you should know you're being set up when they say you go first
and what happens you pick up that gun and these aliens come out 2 2 2 2 and
you're dead usually in about 3.8 seconds now the child takes the gun what happens
- June - choo-choo-choo-choo choo-choo-choo-choo choo-choo-choo-choo
choo-choo-choo-choo choo-choo-choo-choo choo-choo-choo-choo
and about 45 minutes later you get your second turn we know what I'm talking
about here say ah now you're pissed alright you're like getting competitive
I'm not getting shot in three seconds see now you really focus to do to do and
you get shot in the back and you're dead in two seconds the judge the judge the
judge a 30 to 45 minutes later you get your third one the kid scores 480
million points you get three who's happiest experience say hi why just a
child always win is it cuz they're younger faster smarter
more flexible their minds are wired this way no listen to me
the child always wins because they'd played this game before
and because they played the game before listen to me keywords they know the road
ahead and if you know the road ahead you have the ultimate advantage over
everyone around you you must know the road ahead why because when you know the
road ahead you can anticipate write it down again anticipation is the ultimate
advantage in business and in life anticipation when you know the road
ahead you know what's coming when you know it's coming you can anticipate when
you can anticipate what's the benefit of anticipation when you anticipate you're
ahead of the game if you're not anticipating what do you have to do
react and when you're in the game of business and you react you're gonna die
it's that simple I don't care who you are I don't care how long you've been
business if you find yourself reacting gonna die you're in business and you
didn't anticipate some of the challenges coming up with technology and all of a
sudden it eats you up in a week in a month what you built five ten years ago
disappears who's seen this happen I knows what I'm talking about it's real
hearsay I so we're talking about the most important skill of all here
anticipation because otherwise you're reacting why does the kid succeed they
played it so many times guess what they know in the game starts first bad guys
here second bad guys here third bad guys here they don't wait they anticipate and
they take control if there's one gift you could give yourself it's to know
this write this down if you would the biggest choke hold in any business the
biggest choke hold in any business is always the owner / leader it's the owner
leaders psychology or skills the biggest choke hold in any business is the owner
leader psychology or skills your mindset what eats you up is you don't know
what's coming you don't have the skill to handle what's coming because you
don't know it or you're so beat up psychologically emotionally by what
you've been through you can't find the answer so as a result you end up with a
story that limits you you end up in a state that limits you what's stopping
the business another way of saying this is the story the state and the strategy
of the owner or the leader if you change that owner leaders state story and
strategy you change everything if you don't they're not going to succeed so
Bill Gates is a gutsy bastard Bill Gates has a lot I mean the guy took big risks
he was at Harvard had a great education setup wasn't doing so good but he read a
magazine article about the first personal computer called the Altair and
he read it he said you know what I think this is the future he anticipated the
changes that would come in the future but he had guts and he took a risk
that's why he's who he is he called the guy up and he said listen I see you got
this new computer you guys need software for that he said I've written software
for that'll make it run perfectly was that true yes or no
it's total bullshit he made it up he was just being gutsy and saying if I tell
the guy I've got software and he says come see me I'm gonna figure out how to
do it pretty ballsy sure enough the guy said bring it to me in three weeks so he
had three weeks to come up with software GE and his partner and he worked around
the clock and literally when he went to Altair in New Mexico to show the
software he never computer to tested on he didn't know it was gonna work for
sure thank God for his future worked it was a gutsy risky thing he invested all
this time and energy he blew off his school he did everything and thank God
for him it worked but that didn't make him wealthy
hila made him wealthy something called ms-dos ms-dos was software that he did
not write he bought ms-dos that made him three and a half billion dollars for
$50,000 Bill Gates bought it for $50,000 from
somebody else he saw IBM and he was studying his competition
and he said they think they're in the computer business and I think the
computer business is going to become a commodity at some point in the future I
want to control the intelligence that controls those computers so what I'm
gonna do is I'll offer the software and I'll just go buy it from this kid over
here now fifty thousand dollars is a huge sum of money most business people
don't have guts they don't take risk and they don't
invest he said I got to do this roll the dice got it locked up went to IBM and
convince them that IBM wanted it what did IBM want to do they wanted to
buy it from him he said no I'll rent it to you they said no no no he's look
you're not in the software business anyway you're in the computer business
you don't want software software changes you don't know that area let me do this
for you the biggest strategic number I said your life is controlled by your
what decisions that decision made him wealthy that decision for IBM made them
husband in a short number of years you have to anticipate the shifts am I
making sense with you here yes or no so what's the solution the solution listen
to me is constant and never-ending improvement on the areas that control
the success or failure of your business constant never-ending improvement it
does nothing huge but has to be constant incremental improvements in the areas
that matter on a regular basis and you will dominate as long as you also
anticipate so let me give you seven real fast cuz I'm on a tight tight tight on
time let me give you the first of the seven let me show you how it works I'm
gonna start with the end in mind if you're gonna be successful in business
the end outcome what makes somebody successful in business is not that they
make a sale if all you do is make a sale you made a little money to have a
business it has to be sustained to be sustained you have to build clients or
at a minimum when I recall raving fan quiets raving fan customers
now why is the target of all business a raving fan customer well first of all
what makes a human being wealthy in financial terms what will make you
wealthy is only one way to get wealthy and stay wealthy add more value to other
people's lives than anyone else can possibly do if you add more value than
anybody else you will have people be a raving fan of your product service or
company and raving fans are the best marketing in the world because today
nobody pays attention to advertising unless it's shocking and even then it
doesn't necessarily sell the product what sells products today is people
telling people this is the best shit you can get how many agree with me on this
right now say ah and you can't buy that word-of-mouth you can only deliver it by
delivering such an incredibly valuable experience or product or service that
people tell everybody about it the first key to getting to that target
if we're going to like we're gonna we're gonna grab hold of my energy and win a
race towards this target if you have to do step number one step one in a
business is you got to know where you really are you got to know where you
really are and you gotta build what I call a business map now what do I mean
by a business map well think of it this way how many of you in this room have a
five-year business plan right now for your company five-year business plan
raise your hand now a group of you know 9,000 people I'm seeing maybe a dozen
hands the reason you're seeing it doesn't answers because even if you have
to a five-year plan it's bullshit and I'm not being disrespectful it's
bullshit why is it bullshit everyone tell me why
is a five-year business plan in the world we live in today total bullshit
why because the world is changing so fast you have no clue what's gonna be
here in five years you're kidding yourself so what do you throw up your
hands you just hope it works out well that's a disaster too what you need is a
business map a business map means you understand the territory you understand
what's happening where it's happening so as you're moving along
you can adjust with that map to get where you want to go as the environment
changes the way you frame what business you're in
to yourself is the single biggest limit in your business and I promise you it's
limiting who you do business with as well you know if you have yes Peter
Drucker one of the greatest business geniuses of all time he used to say
there's really only one question maybe two in business his question is what
business he in and how's business you must control the meaning within yourself
within your team and then the way you market up you can't do that till you
crystal clear what business you're in and every seven weeks you should be
digging in deeper what business you're in or you ask a third question what
business do you need to be in because let me tell you something you didn't
experience in 2008 in Australia what the rest of the world did but you're going
to experience some of what the rest of the world has experienced coming soon
you can experience it your real estate market you're gonna experience it in
your shares market and you're gonna experience some unemployment on a much
larger scale than what you guys are uncomfortable with right now it's coming
I'm not here to be mr. positive and I'm not being negative I'm saying it's
coming so you want to take advantage of winter not let it freeze you to death
and you can because when everybody else is scared and hesitating if you're doing
the things I'm showing you you will take their market share and you will dominate
even if you're a little guy you can become a big guy in this time cuz the
time in which things change is tough times that's when little guys become big
guys because the big guys are doing the same boring shit over and over again and
they're not flexible but I got to tell you something
in order to succeed in your business you're gonna fall in love with your
clients and not with your products and services and here's the other question
what stage of the life cycle of the business are you in listen to me
this understanding is the most important standing of all and I can't give it to
you all here I take a day on this when I say I give people a million dollar
guarantee the reason I'm giving that million dollar guarantee and no one ever
takes me up on it I mean I think two times in three years someone's taking me
up on it and when they did I've been glad because I didn't want to stupid for
soon in my seminar I thought you can't see this gonna save you a million
dollars in making million bars you shouldn't be in here right happy to
refund your money is this material and this material is understanding the life
stage of a business see businesses have life cycles just like humans do so watch
this for a second which can get in more trouble an infant or toddler quick nice
and loud which one nice and loud which one why cuz the toddlers more mobile
they can go what does this rock tastes like right which one could get more in
trouble a toddler or a teenager that's right
tell me if you give your car to a teenager and you say drive it never
above the speed limit what can you promise and guarantee they're going to
do are they gonna speed yes or no and the worst thing that can happen is they
get away with it let me explain what I mean businesses have stages of
development what do they tell you was the most important thing to business the
power of anticipation what if there was a way to know in advance what problems
you were gonna have in your business before they happened you know exactly
what they were how they were gonna happen and what to do to prevent them
right now no matter what stage you're in how many think that be might worth its
weight in gold raise your right hands say hi that's what happens when you
understand the stage let's go to number two the second key force a business you
got to be working on is constant constant strategic innovation you know
what the hell does that mean sounds so complex strategic innovation
notice I didn't just say innovate you can innovate in a day innovate and it
may not make a difference and innovation takes time energy and money
it's got to be innovation the customer cares about let's go back to Peter
Drucker for a moment Peter Drucker has always said that the core of all
business is only two things if a business is successful these two things
are its core innovation and marketing everybody else in your company is
employed by the people who innovate and market for your company because without
them there is no company now what does innovation mean
it means finding the way to meet people's what needs it means find a way
to add more what then anybody else is adding but listen to me and maybe this
will help you understand innovation in a different way people say but I am
meeting their needs and are my customers are really happy so why innovate cuz
it's called innovate or die in the world we live in let me explain why how often
is Apple Computer even though they're the best find a way to innovate again
how often can you count on it is it consistent yes or no every year
sometimes multiple times a year isn't it true that's why they're number one so
what you have to do is you can't just meet your needs you gotta meet their
needs in a new way meet the needs even more add more value but do it in a new
way that's how you have raving fan clients it's not enough to meet their
needs it's not enough to add more value gotta do it new ways all the time it
makes it sexy it makes it mysterious it makes it interesting it makes them want
to engage you it gets them to tell everybody else about the new thing
you're doing ok now let's go to number 3 real fast I might have to keep this in
garrettgetschow so number 3 is if you what was it we
said Drucker said all business is two things innovation and what come on guys
innovation and marketing answer this question for me does the best product or
service always win yes or no nice and loud yes or no which company always wins
McDonald's where does that should come from no the best marketed product or
service for better or worse and let's use McDonald's ok man that's a good
example tell me something perfect example just McDonald's make the
best tasting hamburger in the world notice we got a universal 9000 person
response now is it the tastiest is it the best quality yes or no
but it is the best what marketed as you would say marketed in the world
I call it marketed the point of the matter is this company understands
marketing and even though they have a shit product they got billions and
billions and billions of people to eat that shit now here's the problem of
marketing today that's a it's a significant problem I want you think
about this does anybody know how many marketing messages the average person
had to see 15 years ago how many messages before they would start to seek
you out to consider buying your product where they would do something active to
seek out your product does anybody know 15 years ago how many times do they have
to see a message from you on average if you're in a quality ad the answer is for
15 years ago does anybody know what the number is today 16 now what do you think
that's none two companies profit abilities
add value this does make sense become an education marketer become someone that
does value because then you become the valued expert not a stupid salesperson
could you're giving me something and if you give me something I want to give you
something I'd love to give you my business if you're gonna give me
something but you're just gonna advertise advertise advertise advertise
screw you big thing if you follow this AI and then you don't have to go for 16
exposures you can get somebody in one exposure and they'll answer your emails
and they'll reach out to you and you watch your business grow like you can't
even dream forced number 4 is the constant never-ending improvement of
sales and mastery systems sales mastery systems marketing is wonderful but if
you don't convert that marketing into sales you don't have a business now
because of time here's all I'll tell you on this one we're gonna give you that's
valuable that's simple how about this how many of you right now in this room
have a business that's primarily done with no sales people all on the web
major had no sales people all automated rayji and if you have sales people if
you have sales people that work with you the majority of you
if you have an automated business them and how good it is you don't want a
one-legged stool a one-legged stool at one point can get in trouble and you
collapse you want at least three legs and one of those legs as a minimum it's
gotta be a sales team now how can you grow though when you're brand new small
business or you've been around a while well technology today allows us to be
able to hire people to go to work for us literally 24/7 365 all around the world
we literally have more than 150 people that work for one of my companies all of
which live in different parts of the world all of which we note only by way
of our experience of them by way of Skype calls where we can see them and
create you could coach them but we measure them better than the persons in
the same room with us in the old days we know what they're doing every mo more
you know people responding we know everything cuz it's all fed to us by the
web we have virtual companies now so you don't have a lot of resources we can
show you how to get three or five salespeople and your little company like
these couple of guys here that right now our operators what have you had three
people that their entire life was about how to make sure they filled your
business well you wouldn't have one little location you might have five but
here's what I can tell all of you just give you one quick hint in this area in
the time that we got right then one thing great salespeople are not trained
they are found great salespeople are not trained they are found and then trained
to be even better and this is coming from a guy that's trained two million
salespeople in the world I did that for 15 years it's one of my jobs here's what
I mean by this write down this phrase nature is the most powerful factor
nature is the most powerful factor if I was gonna give you something in two
seconds right now I'd say if this if you're gonna get a great person to sell
for you you can train somebody all day long but their nature ask them ask the
job the fifth force you gotta take control of you've got to have constant
anticipation member that key word anticipation so you're not reacting
you're anticipating you know the road ahead in two areas of your business
legal and I know you're not a lawyer you're at least most of you but you got
to know where your risks are and financial
we're counting now how many of you in this room is business owners hate
accounting if you're with me brothers and sisters can I have a hallelujah
however unfortunately even though you hate it how many of you in this room
never have ever been bitten in the bum so to speak because you thought the
numbers were one thing or they meant something or your cash was one level it
was another some accounting piece that really really hurt you at the time who's
had this experience before raising a nice and I say I I want to tell you
something more companies go down because most of you in this room do not like
accounting and I do not want to sell you on being an accountant but a boring-ass
job but I do want to sell you on knowing enough of this that you can run that
accountant or that CFO because you still have the lead and if you don't you'll
become part of the 99% that fail I don't care how big smart you are to how much
your sales are learning how to manage your business includes the economics and
we take half a day and make it fun so that you can kick ass with any CFO or
accountant and you can ask them questions they don't know let me ask you
two questions real fast question one how many of you have a
specific day of the month that you always go through your financials and
you never ever miss on your business raise your hand keep your hand up a look
around the room it's not even three percent of the room that does this
that's why ninety nine percent go out of business
remember I said in the beginning what is the chokehold in the business it's the
psychology and the skills of the entrepreneur if you don't develop the
skill of knowing how to manage the finances I don't mean write it down and
do the accounting I mean know how to read that and use that information as
intelligence to guide yourself you're gonna be in trouble in business nobody
gets a special license you can go out there and know nothing about numbers
except what you think you know and that's why you go out of business this
is a skill if you don't get it from me you better go get it now but I can give
it to you in a fun way in half a day of the four days where you'll be Arif
financials and find stuff your accountants not finding and then what
you want to find is the intelligence that allows you to run your
more effectively I'll give you a little clue who here knows the three documents
you've got to see every single month to run your business raise your hand if you
know the three and can name them look around the room look at this we got nine
thousand people in this room and maybe 20% of you even though the documents you
don't review you'll even know what they are here I'll give you a little gift
something that took me 20 years to figure out little gift if you got a
business that has a 20% margin margin of net profit and most of you probably have
a margin less than that some of you maybe more than that but if you have
that and you just cut 12% of your costs 12% of your costs on a 20% margin
company you'll grow your profits by 50% meaning you have a 30% margin if you
want to listen to me you want to grow your profits 50% all you have to do is
control cut 12% of your costs but you're never gonna do that when you don't even
rate look at your own financials let's go to the next one finally number six
number six is what if I said to you there was treasure in your business and
that treasure is just waiting for you to come by and pick it up but you got a
dick for it but if you pick it up it's gonna cost you nothing what if I said
every one of you in this room no bullshit no hyperbole no exaggeration in
the next six to 12 months 18 months at the outside in a tougher economy even
you could grow your business 3,200 30% no exaggeration no hyperbole and it's
not gonna cost you any more money to do it when I say it's not costing any money
let me be honest you might find by spending five thousand dollars you can
make 150 thousand or by spending ten you could make half a million so to me
that's not spending money how many fall I'm talking about here say I that is
this skill this is my strongest skill this is why companies call me ended your
turnarounds this is why my companies are where they are through all the economies
and all the countries I've been in all the industries you have to learn the
skill of optimization and maximization that's this point you have to learn to
optimize and maximize your business on an ongoing basis
now what does that mean it means figuring out how to do what you're
already doing where you get a geometric result from a bunch of small changes
small changes that accumulate to create a geometric change but you gotta master
this go home and figure this out by itself if you want to you to start
making progress right away

11 Paradoxes That Will BLOW YOUR MIND! - Duration: 10:02.
11 Paradoxes That Will BLOW YOUR MIND
What is motion?
What is choice?
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
Philosophers have been using paradoxes to tackle these topics throughout history and
we have compiled some of the most brain baffling.
Here are 11 paradoxes that will BLOW YOUR MIND!
#11.
"Omnipotence Paradox"- The Paradox: "Could an omnipotent being create a stone that is
too big for it to lift?"
In other words if a being is truly omnipotent there couldn't possibly be something too
big for it to carry, but on the other hand if it was omnipotent there shouldn't be
anything it can't do or create.
This paradox is first seen in writing dating back to the 1100s and philosophers from Thomas
Aquinas to Wittgenstein have tried tackling the logic behind it.
It has been commonly used as an argument for atheism but philosophers who practice religion
have also used it to justify their points of view.
One common flaw that is pointed out about the paradox is that the being identified as
omnipotent has human characteristics applied to it, such as lifting, so the logic is flawed
from the get-go because if a being was omnipotent it would not need the ability to lift anything.
This point can lead further down the rabbit hole as one then must dive into the true definition
of lifting..
Does the paradox use the word lifting to mean capability?
If this was the case the paradox might go 'is God capable of the incapable?'.
#10.
"The Crocodile's Dilemma"- The Paradox: "A crocodile catches a child and tells the
child's parents that if they can correctly guess what he does next he will give the child
back".
This one dates back to Ancient Greece and has captured the mind's of philosophers
for centuries.
As you have probably guessed there is no true solution as the parent's will be in trouble
if they guess that he will return the child and he doesn't intend to, therefore their
guess is wrong.
The crocodile runs into a problem if the parents guess that he won't return the child.
In this case, if he gives the child back he is making his initial statement false and
if he doesn't return the child, the parent's are correct so he should return the child
but if he returns the child their guess would no longer be correct, therein lies the paradox.
No matter what the parent's say it results in a contradiction.
But come on really?
The parent's probably shouldn't be haggling with a crocodile in the first place.
#9.
"Liar Paradox"- The Paradox: 'This statement is false'.
This is a classic paradox that has been around for over 2,000 years and you might have seen
it by one of its many forms.
This is probably the most simplest version of the paradox and you can see the inherent
problem.
If the statement is false yet is stating that it is false it must in fact be true yet it
can't be true because in order for it to be true it has to be false.
There are two common solutions that are offered: A) you reason that it is nonsense and don't
look into it any further, but come on, that's no fun.
Or B) you end up at the conclusion that the statement is meaningless… which also seems
like a cop out and isn't really the point of the exercise.
There are two well-known paradoxes that follow a similar pattern to this one pinocchio's
paradox and the customer paradox.
Pinocchio's paradox involves the lovable lying puppet saying "my nose will grow now".
In this scenario Pinocchio's statement can neither be true or false because in order
for his nose to grow then his statement would have to be a lie but it wouldn't be a lie
because he correctly predicted his nose growing.
Either way this paradox would probably only result in Pinocchio spontaneously combusting.
The customer paradox is one you might have thought about without realizing if you have
ever worked in retail or food service it involves a boss saying "the customer is always right"
and a customer replying "I am not right".
You can see that like the others there is no real solution that doesn't end in the
boss not looking like a liar.
#8.
"Immovable vs. Unstoppable"- The Paradox: "what happens when an unstoppable force
meets an immovable object".
This paradox originates in ancient China from a story about an armor salesman.
The salesman claims to be selling a spear that can pierce any shield but also has a
shield for sale that he claims no spear can penetrate.
When asked what would happen in the event of this special spear striking this special
shield, the salesman can't answer the question.
The whole idea of immovable object versus an unstoppable force, though a good thought
experiment, doesn't work in real life because there could not be a world in which both of
these things coexist.
There have been many solutions brought forth by philosophers trying to think outside the
box but for the most part it would involve redefining the words unstoppable and immovable,
which negates the paradox in the first place.
#7.
"The Ship of Theseus"- The Paradox: "if a ship has every one of its parts replaced
with new ones, is it still the same ship".
This paradox is an attempt to understand what the true definition of 'the same' is.
The predicament has its origins in the writings of the ancient Greek historian Plutarch, in
which the ship in question belonged to the legendary hero Theseus.
There have usually been two-dissenting theories, some who believe it is the same ship and those
who believed it is different.
Aristotle reasoned it was the shame ship because it retained the same purpose.
In other words, though it may have different pieces it was still Theseus's ship and functioned
as such.
Another Greek philosopher Heraclitus posited that the ship is different and constantly
changing whether or not the parts are replaced because time changes its make-up.
He tried to illustrate his opinion by providing another metaphor saying, 'upon those who
step into the same rivers, different and again different waters flow', basically saying
that nothing is ever the same from moment to moment.
#6.
"The Barber Paradox"-The Paradox: 'There is a barber who only shaves those who do not
shave themselves, does the barber shave himself?'
This origin of this paradox is commonly attributed to the 20th century philosopher Bertrand Russell
who used it as an example for explaining his much more complicated math-based paradox called
'Russell's Paradox', which attempts to expose the contradictions within naive
set theory.
In truth the Barber Paradox isn't technically a paradox because a man who only shave men
who don't shave themselves can't really exist.
Either way it still quite the conundrum to think about if you can suspend your disbelief.
There have been some solutions proposed for the puzzle, most notably creating a scenario
in which there are two barbers who could then in effect shave each other and still fit the
specifications of the question.
Which would in turn make the answer a clear 'no'.
#5.
"Buridan's Donkey"- The Paradox: "a hungry donkey sits between two bales of hay
the exact same size and same distance away, because they are both equal he cannot choose
one over the other so he perishes from starvation".
This fable-like paradox has been contested over since the time of Aristotle but takes
it name from Jean Buridan a french philosopher who was a staunch believer in the philosophy
of determinism.
Determinism essentially stipulates that anything that happens has a direct cause and couldn't
have happened any other way, thus eschewing any notion of free will.
As you may have guessed the paradox of 'Buridan's Donkey' is actually making fun of Buridan's
determinist views as it illustrates a situation that favors free will.
Buridan believed that if two options presented to someone were exactly equal that they would
not be able to choose between the two, but obviously the donkey would choose one of the
hay bales before succumbing to starvation.
There have been many other forms of this paradox over the years, one of the most popular variations
being "a man is both equal parts hungry and thirsty but he cannot decide whether to
eat first or drink first so he expires".
That man has apparently never heard of soup.
#4.
"Bootstrap Paradox"- The Paradox: A man travels back in time and gives The Beatles
copies of their own music before they made it, they then release these copies making
them the originals".
This theoretical paradox has existed in several forms and is a popular element of many science
fiction stories involving time travel.
If an event like this occurs it forms what scientist's a causal loop where a person
or object in effect creates itself, thus having always existed yet having no real origin.
This is similar to the "Grandfather Paradox" in which a man travels back in time and marries
his grandmother, becoming his own grandfather.
Another theory that is a possible solution to the closed loop conundrum is that of there
being multiple dimensions.
If that were the case the object or person in question might not exist in a closed loop
but instead as many different versions from other dimensions that in turn cause new versions
(which possibly vary) to be created at a different times in a multitude of dimensions.
So when a man thinks he's going back in time he really isn't, he's just going
to the present in a dimension where the Beatles are just getting started.
#3.
"Arrow Paradox"- The paradox: "If time is made up of instants and you stop an arrow
in flight at any particular instant it isn't traveling, in other words the arrow is at
rest during any given instant.
Which means that the arrow is at rest for the sum of the instants, and therefore motionless."
This paradox is one of many that are attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno and
though there are inherent flaws in the arrow paradox it has lead to some intense debates
on the relations between perception and physics.
Aristotle was one of the first to attempt solving Zeno's puzzle.
He stated that the Arrow Paradox incorrectly is based on the idea that time is comprised
of separate instants and even so within a so-called instant there is no such things
as motion or rest because for one concept to be true you would have to have the possibility
of the other.
Physicists and philosophers alike have disagreed on whether or not Aristotle's argument is
valid due to its own flaws but Zeno's Arrow Paradox and Aristotle's solution helped
give birth to the concept of instantaneous velocity which is an essential part of modern
physics.
#2.
"Pop Quiz Paradox"- The Paradox: "a teacher announces to his class on a Friday
that there will be a pop quiz next week that will be a complete surprise.
One upstart student declares that it is not possible for a quiz to be a surprise because
the quiz can't be given on the following Friday as if it hadn't been given by the
end of the day Thursday they would know the quiz was on Friday.
So using the same logic the quiz can't be on Thursday because by the end of Wednesday
they would know it would have to be on Thursday because it can't be a surprise on Friday.
You can apply this same rule to to Wednesday and Tuesday.
So the quiz would have to be given on Monday, but that wouldn't be a surprise because
of the prior deductions.
So all of the students go home thinking that there can't possibly be a pop quiz next
week and fail to study.
To their surprise and dismay the Teacher gives them a pop quiz on Tuesday."
This paradox has been seen in other forms most notably of the Unexpected Hanging Paradox
in which a prisoner is told by a judge he will meet his fate sometime next week and
uses a similar path to deduce he can't possibly be hanged the next week.
These paradoxes have been used to open philosophical discussions regarding the definition of surprise
and the difference between observable concrete truths and truths that are tied to perception.
#1.
"Lazy Bones Paradox": The Paradox: "If you get sick and your destiny is to get better
then you will get better whether or not you go to a doctor.
If your destiny is to not get better then going to the doctor won't matter anyway."
This paradox is usually used to spark discussion of fate and free will.
Some philosophers say that it is a moot point because there is no such thing as destiny,
while others would agree and say that everything is up to fate and yet still more philosophers
try to somehow wrap the idea of destiny and choice together.
The main problem is the choice aspect, does one choose to go to the doctor because their
destiny mandates they be get better?
Or is it destiny that made them sick and they choose to ignore destiny in trying to get
better?
Is it possible to ignore destiny?
Who knows, but our brains hurt.
Do you believe more in destiny or free will?

BREAKING NEWS !! Liverpool will try to sign Kerem Demirbay for Emre Can replacement - Duration: 2:39.
Liverpool are lining up a move for highly rated midfielder carand Amir Bey
as per reports the mere base performances have attracted interest
from clubs across Europe this season with the 24 year old impressing in his
time at Hockenheim according to tribuna the German is represented by the same
agency as both say do mainland Nabi Keita and that could see Liverpool have
an upper hand over other clubs trying to sign the player who has a 32 million
euro release clause another reason for the Reds to pursue a deal for Damir Bay
is that the club are yet to reach an agreement with midfielder American Ken
who scored last night in the 3-0 win against Huddersfield Town has only six
months left on his current contract which expires in the summer
this means that he would be a free agent in the summer and Jurgen Klopp could
lose the midfielder for absolutely nothing should the club fail to come to
an agreement on a new deal given that Ken is out of contract at the end of the
season Juventus are reportedly keeping tabs on the player and are firmed
favorites to take him to Turin on a free transfer
maybe Keita is set to join Liverpool in the summer but it can decides to leave
it would create a big hole in the midfield and clock would then have to
search for her replacement if that's the case Damir bey emerges as an option to
replace his fellow countryman although the 24 year old has failed to live up to
the standards he had set last season he has scored two goals and provided an
assist in 14 appearances in all competitions this season despite being a
box-to-box midfielder like an Damir bae is technically gifted and lacks the
aggressive presence of his compatriot no doubting the hoffenheim man's talent but
there are chances that he could struggle in the Premier League on the hold
if club decides to replace Kim with Damir Bey I feel it won't be a good
decision

WHY YOUR SUFFERING WILL TEACH YOU MORE THAN YOUR SUCCESS EVER COULD - Duration: 6:19.
- Why your suffering will teach you more than your success
ever could is a common question I get.
People are always asking me things like,
how do I find a way to get unstuck?
I'm always find myself overtired.
I've been working a long time, long days,
and I don't know what to do.
I feel confused and I'm not sure where to turn.
But that's a common problem to feel so lost and uncertain
that we've all been there.
We've all been there at different times,
and absolutely is a challenging thing to figure out
where to go and where the next step is.
Finding out who to ask, you know,
might be the quickest answer, or what to read.
Sometimes just picking up the proper book,
spending some time investing in yourself is the way to go.
The biggest thing, I think, is for you to start
finding a way to change your perspective
on how suffering actually helps you and doesn't defeat you.
You know, when I go back to my experience,
from you know, spending time as a paraplegic
when I broke my back at the age of 23,
in the hospital, just coming out of intensive care and
four months in rehab, and learning how to walk again,
it was very challenging for me
to find belief and strength in
the suffering that I was going through.
But, all that stuff that I've been through
has helped create the resilience in my life,
and the courage and inner strength to keep on going
when I've always felt like I wanted to give up.
So, what I wanna do is just kind of go through
a couple of ideas,
just three pieces of information that I've learned
over my time on how you can help start to view suffering
as a strength instead of a weakness.
So number one is to understand that failure
is part of the process.
You know, when I have been building
my business in this case, the Sledge Hockey Experience,
there's no way that I could have gone now to where I'm at,
18, 24 months from the day it was an idea,
without having to go through several moments
where I felt like I totally wasn't getting it right.
And that goes from everything of like
sending out the wrong documents,
to wording things the wrong way,
to showing up, you know, or figuring out
maybe 40 hours before the event,
I don't have what I need,
and maybe I couldn't deliver on something
that was, thankfully, a smaller detail,
but I knew that I had to fix it for the next time.
And if I didn't go through those failures,
there's no way that I would have gotten to the point
where we're now delivering a polished event
every single time we arrive at the arena.
And Randy Pausch has a quote that said,
"The walls that are put up in front of us
"are put there for a reason, and that reason is,
"to keep those people who don't want something
"bad enough, out."
Now when I heard that, it made me really think about
you know, a lot of the obstacles that are in front of us,
especially the ones that we're going after
something for our own desire versus what we need in life.
You know, it's there for a reason, and so I want to decide
in my mind that I'm gonna be the guy, or girl, whoever, to
break through that barrier and find my ways
to make my suffering become part of my success.
Number two is to remember that, you should always
be taking things one step at a time.
When I was in the hospital learning how to walk again,
people would always ask me the question,
how did you learn how to walk?
And, I wish I could just say something
as simple as I took a pill.
Sometimes I throw it as a joke and it always flops. (laughs)
Because the truth is, is that it wasn't easy.
It required me going through several weeks of seeing
zero results, trying to wiggle my toe just by me
sending the brain signal down and looking at my toes.
And when I finally got it to work,
it was one toe after six weeks,
and then one more week til I got my second toe,
and then another week until I got three toes,
and then three toes, and then an ankle,
and an ankle, and then I was learning gravity
on a walker, and a wheelchair,
and then walking holding on to walls,
and then learning to walk every day.
And, it was such a remarkable lesson because
I just literally learned that the process of
learning how to walk at the age of 23,
not when I was a child, was one step at a time.
So remember that no matter what it is you're going through,
an obstacle or getting yourself
out of a bad position where you're struggling,
might seem like impossible or super far away,
but just recognize that it takes several small baby steps,
one step at a time.
The third thing I wanted you to think about is that,
it's okay to ask for help.
When you're struggling, whether you're
consciously aware of this, trying to build a business,
going through some form of therapy,
or if you're in a depression, for example,
is to recognize that it's okay to ask for help.
There's several times where I've had people come to me
and say Kev, what do you think about this or
what do you think about that, what should I do,
and I say, let's talk to someone,
let's call somebody or go here for help and,
that person will often comment to me, they're like,
no, no, no, it's okay, it's like I got this.
And I'm like, do you really have this?
Because if you did have it,
you wouldn't be coming to me asking for help.
That means that you don't need help.
So, it was like an aha moment one day when I realized that
that's the moment where you get to choose
to be the hero in your own movie,
is to actually have the courage to ask for help.
Because so many of us are suffering in silence
and it doesn't need to be that way.
We, anyone who wants to help you,
just needs to understand and know that you're struggling,
but it requires you asking for help.
So, just remember that, to review real quickly,
the three things, remember that
failure is part of the process.
When you're struggling, failure's part of the process.
To remember, take things one step at a time.
And then it's okay to ask for help.
So, I challenge you to start viewing your suffering
as part of your success, and understand that
it's going to help make you stronger.
It's going to help you create more resilience in your life
by deciding your own mind, that you're going to
go through this process.
And that it's okay to ask for help.
And that, my friends, is your opportunity

This One Simple Concept that Will Heal You! - Duration: 2:33.
Do you need healing in your life?
Let's find out how to do it!
I'm Pinchas Taylor and this is Taylor Talks
Hey everybody, hope you're having a great day
We put out these videos every single week, and I hope you'll follow along with us, and hit that subscribe button in the lower-right
Let's jump right into it
in the Bible after god brings all sorts of plagues to the Egyptians
He promises the Israelites that he's not going to bring the same
afflictions upon them that he brought upon the Egyptians
and at the same time in the same verse he says
"I am God your healer"
the question is if he's not going to bring those afflictions, then what do we need healing from?
Furthermore there seem to be times that the Israelite nation
and we as individuals that we've been afflicted
so what does it mean that he's not going to bring the same afflictions that he brought upon the Egyptians?
The answer is is that when God brings something that looks like an affliction into our life the entire
mentality is different than it was for the Egyptians
By the Egyptians the purpose of bringing the plagues of the afflictions was to destroy them
It was an act of punishment
Through God's actions the Egyptians would never change
When God brings something that we perceive as an affliction though the very act of the affliction is
Actually in order to heal us
You ever have a fever and your body
Temperature gets really high
you feel awful the entire day
Well we might perceive that as a curse
We might perceive that as getting afflicted
At the same time the very heating up of our body is what destroys what's really wrong with us
All of the afflictions or all of the perceived afflictions that God brings into our life
are also for that purpose in order to bring a healing in order to make us change and look upward
God tells us that nothing is brought to destroy us like it was for the Egyptians
in our lives It's in order to lift us up
The message is clear, any time in our own life that we feel like we are being afflicted
like superficially that there are challenges or hardships coming our way
We have to remember that embedded in that is God lifting us up and bringing us healing
thanks so much for watching this week everybody I'd like to leave you off with this question
Have you ever had a challenge or a really hard time in your life and now looking back on it you saw all the blessing of God bringing you up?
Let us know in the comments!

Do Angels Have Free Will? - Duration: 5:26.
let's go to the phone callers Thomas in Toronto Ontario Canada hi Thomas
hi good evening how are you doing I'm doing well thank you
great thanks for that recommendation it sounds like a great book and uh the
whole idea that you're just saying about house of cards maybe doesn't the
questions that I think maybe you said some light within Christianity if there
are some smaller house of cards and I know you've done like great work on many
many issues where you you are you know I you disagree with the mainstream
interpretations of some some things and this is just one that I've been looking
for the last quite a few years but you mentioned I listened to one of your
broadcasts and you said that mankind and angels have freewill and I just wanted
to ask you where you determine that angel of have freewill
in the Bible well it's a theological deduction from reading the Holy
Scripture so you have angels that are created in such a way that they can
worship God or do otherwise and some of the angels continued in their worship of
God while others did not the theological deduction from that is
that angels have free will and to this day we have both according to the
panoply of Scripture fallen angels the chief of which is Satan and those who
are unfallen or those who continue to be messengers of God those who continue to
worship God the very thing that created beings are designed to do we have been
created in the in the imago Dei and we also have the ability to either love God
or not to love God if if we did not have
volition if we didn't have the Buddha to choose or to choose otherwise then love
would not even be part of the equation but love is part of the equation
starting with the love that the Father Son and Holy Spirit have for one another
and the love that we have for the one God who has loved us so much that he has
provided a way of reconciliation right could I just have something follow up
with us sure absolutely yes the reason I'm asking because I've
studied in some of your writings on you know the Nephilim interpreted Giants men
of renown and your you disagree you think that's the line of Cain versus the
line of Seth the crossed over God warned all the time remain separate and if
anyone wants to come into the house at the camp of Israel they have to adhere
to the laws of God right and with the Book of Enoch was not part of canon and
the whole story line within the Book of Enoch is about the fallen angels which
is you know never in the Bible except for in the Book of Enoch but the word
fallen angel or evil angel there's evil spirit but it says evil spirit from the
Lord came upon saw great and I'm just just wanting to know how you how much
credibility you give to the Book of Enoch then because you're disagreeing
with the Nephilim as a result of fallen angels yeah I mean I would agree with
some of what is written in the Book of Enoch and not only that but the Bible
does and that's never a problem for me or it shouldn't be a problem for you or
anyone else why because all truth is God's truth and so for example in the
book of Jude you have Jude quoting from the Book of Enoch because he's quoting
there a truth that is in violent however the idea that that angels can have or
fallen angels in this case have sex with women goes against the whole tapestry of
Scripture the tapestry of Scripture is always about kinds reproducing after
own kinds so the notion that an angel that does not have physicality and
cannot produce physicality apart from God's a creative prowess that such a
fallen angel can have sex with a woman is a shear function of Mythology not a
function of theology so you find this in in the mythologies but you will not find
this in Scripture in fact if you look at Genesis what is Genesis chapter 6 it's
not a judgment on on hybrids it is a judgment on a fallen human race and the
context of Genesis 6 could not be more clear in this regard

6 Things That Will Actually Make You Happy, Proven By Science - Duration: 6:59.
6 Things That Will Actually Make You Happy, Proven By Science
What�s the one thing you�re pining for in your life that would make you happier if
only it would happen? A new job? Romance?
More Instagram followers? Research shows that external factors have the power to make us
happier in the moment, but that cultivating a deep sense of happiness is a much different
project.
�It�s a very personal thing,� says Sheenie Ambardar, MD, a Los Angeles-based psychiatrist
who specializes in happiness. �It�s something internal, it�s some kind of peace or contentedness,
some kind of psychological well-being that you have inside of you, so it�s not related
to any of those external things.�
Dr. Ambardar says that many of her clients find themselves struggling against external
ideas about what should make us happy. �There are so many conceptions out there that you
have to have XYZ by a certain age, you have to have everything in place,� she says.
�That�s such an insidious, oppressive idea.�
So how do we go about cultivating true happiness? Here�s what recent research says.
GET MORE SLEEP This one should be a no-brainer by now, but
getting enough sleep is so important for our overall well-being, on so many levels, that
three American scientists just won the Nobel Prize for work on the biology of sleep.
And a British study that came out last month found that Brits who get enough sleep are
significantly happier than those who don�t. The vast majority of us need somewhere between
seven and eight hours of sleep a night.
If that isn�t enough to send you on a mission for a white noise machine and new sheets,
more than a decade ago, Harvard
Women�s Health Watch reported that chronic lack of sleep can weaken the immune system,
make maintaining a healthy weight more difficult, contribute to high blood pressure, and interfere
with learning and memory. Hard to believe that something free has so many amazing benefits�or
that we�re not all getting enough of it every night.
EXERCISE I used to take an early morning boot camp
a few times a week, and often I would arrive incredibly stressed, convinced that I should
be at my desk instead of in the park.
By the time the workout was over, I always felt completely relaxed and ready to take
on the world. Exercise, like sleep, is a quick ticket to happiness, with even more immediate
effects on mood.
A recent study by the Black Dog Institute in Australia found that even just one to two
hours a week of exercise, defined as an activity that raises the heart rate and gets you warm
and slightly out of breath�no burpees required here�has a whole host of physical and mental
benefits.
SPEND TIME OUTDOORS This may make you tweak your exercise routine
to do double duty. While that candlelit spin experience is sure to boost your endorphins,
a lower intensity jog or even a brisk walk outside gets you closer to something that
researchers are finding makes humans very happy: nature.
In her book The Nature Fix, Florence Williams shows how spending time outdoors makes us
happier and healthier. She delves into a number of studies, including the work of Frances
Kuo, Ph.D., who found a link between trees and green space and lower levels of crime
and aggression in public housing. How about a hike this weekend?
FIND MEANING Here�s where things get a little trickier.
Getting enough sleep, exercising, and spending time outdoors are all pretty much guaranteed
to quickly improve your mood. They�re also simple to plan and execute. But what about
your internal monologue and your overall satisfaction with your life and what it all means?
A growing body of research is differentiating between two different types of happiness:
hedonic and eudaimonic. Hedonic well-being is instant-gratification stuff like getting
a present, collecting a record number of likes on your latest Instagram masterpiece, or going
out on Friday night.
Eudaimonic well-being stems from an overall sense of building a meaningful life. The two
can dovetail�maybe you�re headed out on Friday night with an old and dear friend,
for instance. The relationship is eudaimonic, while the activity itself may be hedonic.
We all find meaning in different places: work, relationships, family, and volunteering.
This kind of happiness can also be described as a sense of purpose; cultivating these elements
in your life can take years and a good amount of self-knowledge.
MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS The Harvard Study of Adult Development is
the longest-running longitudinal study on happiness, and its main takeaways all have
to do with relationships.
Spending time with others regularly, long-term relationships, investing in the future by
having children or establishing strong mentor-like bonds with younger people, and having social
support systems were all qualities that showed up time and time again in the happiest lives.
(There�s that eudaimonic well-being again!) Maybe call that friend you�ve been meaning
to catch up with and look into some volunteer opportunities at your local elementary school
or senior center?
LISTEN TO YOURSELF This one is a little nebulous and may require
some self-examination and soul searching to figure out, as Dr. Ambardar notes. There are
a few different angles to feeling like yourself and that you�re expressing who you truly
are. Dr.
Ambardar says that she regularly works with clients to help them find clarity in terms
of what they actually want to do with their lives versus external pressures telling them
what they �should� be doing.
She also advocates for self-compassion. �Many patients who come to see me are very hard
on themselves,� she says.
A recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that when we
repress emotions that we don�t perceive as correct�say, ambivalence over motherhood,
or being angry when we think we should be happy�we end up less happy than if we would
simply express our inconvenient emotions.
Cultivating respect for your inner voice, whether it�s a fleeting weird emotion that
you need to just sit with or a change in career paths to something more meaningful to you,
is a lot harder than going to bed earlier, but it may be the ultimate key to deep happiness.

2018 STORY THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE - One of The Best Speeches Ever - NEW 2018 MOTIVATION - Duration: 17:29.
One of my favorite cities in the world Vancouver Canada
and look ive dropped my blood and sweat in this city wrestled multiple matches in
this city shot big movies in this city but one thing that a lot of people don't
know that I want to share with you guys is when I was 22 years old I came to the
city for the first time I was playing in the Canadian Football League playing my
first pro football game I was playing for the Calgary Stampeders we're playing
the BC Lions I was so excited two days later I got cut dreams
shattered sent home with seven bucks in my pocket I was like wait no I gotta
play in the NFL eventually those are my big goals that's my dream you realize
that playing in the NFL was the best thing that never happened because
it got me here so my point is look you're gonna get your ass kicked we're
gonna get things kicked out of us you got to get up you got to have faith that the
one thing you want to happen oftentimes is the best thing that never
happened so have faith just keep that in mind in a world that's changing so
quickly the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk and I really think
that that's true whenever you get yourself into a position where you have
to make some some big shift and direction or do something you know
they're always people are gonna point to the downside risks of that decision and
locally they may be right, for any given decision that you're
gonna make there's upside and downside but in aggregate if you are stagnant and
you don't make those changes then I think you're guaranteed to fail
right and not not catch up so to some degree I think it's really right that
over time the biggest risk that you can take is to not take any risks
When i 45 years old i was like I'm gonna control my environment I'm gonna
take every penny I have all the energy I have all the resources I have and im going to improve
If i have to go broke in the process look, if you're not
reaching your full potential every day
the only thing that I see that is
distinctly different about me is I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill right I
will not be outworked right, you might have more talent than me
you might be smarter than me you might be sexier than me you might be all of
those things you got it on me in nine categories but if we get on the
treadmill together right there's two things you're getting off first yeah or
I'm gonna die it's really that simple right so let's go back to the question
about what if people block me out, two options yeah I'm
gonna get back in or I'm going to be dead
it's like you're not going to outwork me it's such a
simple basic concept, the guy who is willing to hustle the most is gonna
be the guy that just gets that loose ball you know
that was gonna be out of bounds but he saved it back in
it's like the commodity that I
see the majority of people who aren't getting to places they want or aren't
achieving the things that they want in this business is strictly based on
hustle, strictly based on being outworked its strictly based on missing
crucial opportunities I say all the time if you stay ready you ain't gotta get ready
One thing that is absolutely certain is change habits
things change look you can either embrace change or you can get run over
by change you can either shape change or stand
there screaming kicking and complaining about things changing the world changes
time moves on and you have to adapt and be a person you know like I said you can
you can either be a force for change or you can be a
victim of change you've got to embrace change and get after it you know
everybody wants to change the world but nobody wants to change themselves and
you've got to look at yourself every day and say am i adapting am i moving
forward am i a part of the future or I am I just sitting and telling stories
about the past look i don't know what the world's gonna look
like in 10 years I wish I did I'd make some investment to make a lot of money
but the reality is I know one thing for sure it'll look different than it does
today so everyday work on yourself get better you're a human becoming
not a human being work on yourself get better and go be a
force for change not a victim of change
my dreams are first everyday
then my wife then my kids I can take care of my wife
my kids would you agree I abandon this this is the fuel for who I am I abandon
this dream and then I end up I can't take care of them and then I'm gonna
tell them what it's allright that you didn't win no it's not alright if you
don't win you need to win how many of you need to win more if you don't
control your environment folks somebody else is going to control your
environment you guys that run teams and run
organizations if you do not control your environment someone else will control
your environment you are being controlled in your environment
right now CNBC CNN the parents
the twitter the facebook the youtube the Google the snapchats are your
environment your friends and your relatives your uncle's your aunts the garbage dump
called planet Earth that we live on is mostly broken people
Are you a risk taker successful people are but not just
random haphazard like I'm driving drunk without my seatbelt type of risk I'm
talking about calculated risks you weigh the options you weigh the potential
outcome both good and bad and you make the best decision possible but guys I'm
here to tell you that you're never going to ultimately be successful unless
you're willing to put yourself out there having the ability or the willingness
the potentially fail is an absolute benefit and sometimes these calculated
risks even though you thought about and sometimes they just don't work out and
you know what successful people do that's alright I learned something I know
what not to do next time and you make another calculated risk guys nothing
great was ever achieved because it was easy
a lot of the knots we tie ourselves into and the anxiety that we feel is
actually due to using words that are not defined very much like success "I just
want to be successful" you better have a very clear definition of what that is
if its going to be one of your main obsessions
We become our standards in many ways if you are
surrounded by B players or average performers and that is your standard
then your mindset won't operate at the standard that is offered to you
by the people around you I mean we do become our social orbit and if you are
the standard eternally that I want to be a game changer in my field I want to be
BIW the best there ever was I want to be the Van Gogh and the Rembrandt of
Technology or whatever fields you play in then your behavior always matches your
internal identity and your inner standards so your standards are
important your standards for your friendships your standards for the
quality of the work you do the standards of your language and the standards of
the nutrition you put into your body the standards of your love life has
standards of your mind set the standards of the way you occur in the world and so
my invitation for you regardless of what you do is that you raise
your game to a place called world class and that is all about being a game
changer now I should caution you and I don't like that word because language is
so powerful and caution is a word that really a little dramatic but I want to
caution you which as you live be heard in the crowd and perhaps the cult
of mediocrity and rise to being a game changer it's a very disruptive act and
you actually threaten the masses of people around you and that's why every
visionary was first ridiculed before they were revered and I'm sure you've
experienced it you want to set you say you know I want to take my fitness to a
whole new level of world class or I want to take my craft
to a whole new level of world class or maybe you're raising your game
financially and then you share it with those you love or your friend your
friends and maybe your friends are those you love and they laugh at you and how
many times have we given up on a dream because we were mocked by the people
around you and all I'm suggesting to you is when you get laughed at ridiculed and
when people don't understand your next level of world class that just means
you've got a great dream and that just means you're on the path of growth so be
a game changer
I have a saying
they kick you when you down but they want to kick it when you up
and I just believe like you know my
whole journey in life is like I've always been told no and I always took
them no's and turned them to yes, i always believed in my path and
my vision even though I know you have to go through trials and tribulations in
life but I do know the sunshine on the other side you know I do know there's a
goal there's a victory , winning ain't easy success don't come
overnight this 25 years of blood sweat and tears before I got on
this show before I made a number one record before jay-z became one of my
partners, this is like you know never surrender never giving up
never stopping and some days it was real stormy and I made it
through it you know
Something bad might happen to you in order to teach you a
lesson to prepare you for something better later on I know it's hard to
think like that in the moment of the bad thing happening but if you really think
about it all the negative things and the positive things that led you to where
you are today got you to where you are today and if not for those negative and
positive things you might not be here you might not have the great job you
just got or or or the little girl sitting next to you and anything like
you can't live within your regrets because
it's all a learning a process from the beginning
to where you are now to where you will be
and you're gonna drop some stuff you gonna fall on your face you're gonna break
some eggs and that's just part of what it is to be alive
Release your attachment to outcomes now you say Robin what are you
talking about one of the real reasons we don't do the things that frighten us is
because we are afraid of being judged we are afraid of failure we are afraid of
success we are afraid of stumbling what I'm suggesting to you is one of the
reasons we don't really step into our heroic nature as human beings is because
we're attached to the outcome and so just developing the philosophy where you
live in the moment you do the things that frighten you and you don't really
worry about what happens that will develop a sense of fearlessness and a
sense of bravery no matter what you choose to do in life pursue it with
passion and hard work in my experience in school and career at work and at play
there are lots of talented people out there but talent alone isn't enough you
need something more one thing that distinguishes those who really make a
difference in life those who really contribute is passion and hard work
remember hard work beats talent if talent doesn't
work hard so don't be content to work around the
edges of your profession don't wait to be invited to important meetings or
asked to work on crucial assignments instead do what it takes to ensure that
you're in the middle of your business speak up volunteer show your enthusiasm
knock on doors as an employee your enthusiasm will make
your job more interesting and get you noticed as a manager your passion will
inspire others to join your team and work as hard as you to accomplish great
things I didn't have an easy experience
I didn't have any easy experience
i didn't come as a top rated
recruit, I didn't come in with the opportunity to play right away I had to
earn it and you know what the greatest honor I've ever received as a player is
in my fourth year and my fifth year I was named team captain that to this day
is the single greatest achievement I've ever had as a football player because
the men in this room chose me to lead their team and these were my best
friends these were the guys that knew that I'd like to work that knew
that I loved football that knew that I loved to play that knew that I wanted to
be the quarterback for Michigan and all the lessons that I learned here on State
Street and in the big house hang with the heroes well if you followed me
before and other mastery sessions or maybe it's Facebook or Instagram or
you've read my books you know that I believe
you become your conversations because listening to an audio book or reading a
book is nothing more than having a conversation with the author and you do
become the people you surround yourself with
so what I'm encouraging you to
become fearless is to read the books of people who have transcended adversity I
mean it might be of Nelson Mandela it might be an Elon Musk it might be a
Martin Luther King jr. it might be someone in your neighborhood who
overcame adversity and you decide to have a conversation over coffee with
them I mean a lot of times the meeting will ask me, well Robin your books work for
people who had great backgrounds people who have a lot of money people who had
the lucky breaks that's just not true if you look at the people who become iconic
in business and in whatever the field might be most of the time those are
people who actually came from nothing or had a lot of adversity but the
adversity allowed them to get to know their talents the adversity develop
their strengths the adversity allowed them to become better thinkers and they
actually used failure to develop greater levels of freedom and one of the best
ways to do that is to read the books or listen to the audio books or spend time
with people who've overcome adversity who had been frightened and
they've transcended it to higher levels of confidence and bravery
most people do a lot of talking
and most people don't put in the effort there's nothing you can't
accomplish in life with the right amount of work the challenge is you know are
you willing to do the work and the reality is most people aren't but that's
the opportunity right
I mean it's like people you know at school
most people are lazy right they they just they barely get through it and and
so that creates opportunity I tell my kids that hey if they want something
they are gonna have to earn it
you engage in it unnecessary risk when
you act precipitously without sufficient information without taking time to think
it through carefully in advance many of the mistakes that you have made and make
for that matter have occurred because you acted without thinking that is you
acted without taking the time to minimize the risks involved it's been
said that you should invest as much time in examining or exploring an
investment as you spent earning the money to make the investment you should
do your due diligence to shift talk to experts in the field should get as much
information as possible before you make an irrivocable decision
You don't work out you don't get a you don't get a muscle right so I
always tell people this is there's a daily practice like priming if you don't
do that if you get up and you have no discipline whatsoever you get no values
anything your diets don't work when you don't do them exercise doesn't work when
you don't do them but most people have some experiences that they want a shift
and once you shift those things your whole life changes but life is constant
growth my life isn't here because I went to one seminar one time and now my life
is fit for life I work out, I train my mind and train my body it becomes a
lifestyle it's not just like you're depending upon somebody else
