1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: I get a gang, it's harps. Who us would it be?

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Hope you're bloody terrific. Hope you're having a great day,

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: whether or not it's the middle or the start, or

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: wherever you're at in your day. I hope you having

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: a good one or you had a good one. And

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: life is good. So one of the things that you know,

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: most of you know that I am somewhat obsessed with

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: is our ability to optimize us, to get the most

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: out of us whatever it is that we have to

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: work with. I have been since I was a fat,

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: fourteen year old little kid with not much talent and

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: not much genetic potential on all of those things. Sorry

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: to bang on about that, that's just my life and

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: my story. But having been someone who's somewhat turned around

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: his life and his behaviors and habits and thinking and

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: sporting outcomes and later in life, academic outcomes and all

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: of those things, I've been really curious about. Not so

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: much what we have to work with, you know, talent, IQ, resources, time, genetics,

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: That is of interest. But what I'm more interested in

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: is what you and I as individuals, what we do

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: with what we have available to us. So some people

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: have a yearly membership to a gym that's got a

23
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: million bucks worth of equipment, but they don't go. So

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: the gym is not the problem. The resources are not

25
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: the problem. The equipment is not the problem. Knowledge is

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: not the problem. Having a program is not the problem.

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: Quite often, the problem is that they don't go. And

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 1: if we don't operationalize what we have available to us,

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: then we can't get great results. So I'm when I

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: meet people and I'm talking to them about where they

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: are and where they want to be. Like virtually everybody

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: comes to me my workshops or me as a you know,

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: every now and then one on one or reads a

34
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: post or listens to a podcast or reads a book

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. It's because on some level they

36
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: want to do different or be different, or think different

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: or produce differently. That is, we all want to create

38
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: great outcomes. However, something that doesn't get spoken about a

39
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: lot broadly, I speak about it a bit. So for

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: some of you this might be a form of revision.

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: For some of you, it might be a reminder. For

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: some of you it might be hey, I've never really

43
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: heard this articulated in this way. Is our ability to

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: get the most out of what we have to work with.

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: So some people can do or produce what would comparatively

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: be a seven or eight out of ten outcome, but

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: they're still only working at five out of ten, if

48
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Some people will produce a

49
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: six out of ten comparative outcome, but they're working at

50
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: ten for what they have to work with. So, for example,

51
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: I might run a marathon. I doubt it, but let's

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: let's say right now, Okay, I'll put on my axose

53
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: physiology had Let's say right now, I stopped doing all

54
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: the strength training. I'm pretty light at the moment. I'm

55
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: seventy eight kilos, which is very light for me. But

56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: let's say I got down around seventy kilos in my

57
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: sixty year two year old body, and I trained great,

58
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: and I did all the things I wanted to do

59
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: to run a four hour marathon, which for me at

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: my age would be a pretty good outcome. Now, let's

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: say I did all of that and I ate well,

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: slept well, trained well, supplemented well, talking about supplements, not drags.

63
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: I did all the right things, sleep all of it,

64
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: and I ended up running a four hour marathon. Now,

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: for me, with all the things I have to work with. So,

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: in other words, what is possible for me? What is

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: my potential? What is me using nearly all of what

68
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: I've got? The four hour marathon for me might be

69
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: somewhere close to Craig Harper optimizing what he has to

70
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: work with. Somebody else could run a three and a

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: half foul marathon thirty minutes quicker than me, and they're

72
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: still running on sixty percent. They're not anywhere near close

73
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: to optimizing what they have to work with because they're

74
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: genetically gifted, they're younger than me, they've got better hormones

75
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: levels than me, and they're just way, way more predisposed

76
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: to running fast times than me. So it's not about

77
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: what am I doing compared to what are what are

78
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: others doing? It's not what are my results compared to

79
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: her results or his results. It's really about am I

80
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: doing whatever I can do to get where I want

81
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: to go? Or am I just telling myself a story

82
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: that I'm working optimally or I'm using my genetics or

83
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: my time, or my resources, or my brain or my

84
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,559
Speaker 1: creativity or my energy optimally. So I think we quite

85
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: often reach for something else, someone else power a potion,

86
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: a product, a book, a gizmo, a gadgets, some kind

87
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: of thing that will help us create the one the

88
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: result we want to create quicker. And maybe sometimes that

89
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: is not a terrible idea. But sometimes I think it's

90
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: just more about this sounds boring in old fashioned, but

91
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: digging deeper. It's about working harder. It's about opening our

92
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: mind to the possibility that the problem is not the program.

93
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: The problem is not the idea. The problem is not

94
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: the plan. The problem is the way or the level

95
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: that I am executing the plan that I am doing

96
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: the thing. And you've heard me talk many times about

97
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: rate of perceived exertion in a gym, which is essentially

98
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: how hard somebody thinks they are working. John, you just

99
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: did a said of this exercise on this weight for

100
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: this many reps. How hard do you think you were

101
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: working based on your absolute limit? Ten is your physiological capacity.

102
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: That's all you could do, That's all that's humanly possible

103
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: for you. Where are you working at the moment, Oh, Craig,

104
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm working at eight or nine. And there's someone who's

105
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: vastly experienced in this place, with both minds and bodies

106
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: and training and all of the physiological and sporting and

107
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: adaptive things that go around that I look at them,

108
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: I watch them and I know, like I absolutely know,

109
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: they're nowhere near an eight or nine. They're nowhere near

110
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: they're optimal. They're nowhere near their limit, their ceiling, their potential.

111
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Then when I come back and I say, let's have

112
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, John, Now what I want you

113
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: to do is the last time you did this week

114
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: for X reps. Now we're going to do the same way,

115
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: but I want you to do two X. I don't

116
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: want you to do ten. I want you to do twenty,

117
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: and I want you to do it like your life

118
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: depends on it. So John comes back, and you've heard

119
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: me tele version of this, but it's just true. And

120
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: I've seen a version of this with my own eyes

121
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: in the real world, probably more than a hundred times,

122
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: because I've asked people to do this many times. He

123
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: will come back. The guy that was working at ninety

124
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: percent allegedly doing ten reps, now he does twenty four

125
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: reps on the same way. Now he's working at ninety percent.

126
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: Now he's getting close to his physiological capacity at that time.

127
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: He wasn't before he was just telling himself a story.

128
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: So there's the reality of what is possible for me,

129
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: Where am I actually working in terms of my capacity

130
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: and my potential, and where do I think I'm at?

131
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Where do I that's the perception performance gap is my story.

132
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: I'll say that again, the exception performance gap. That is

133
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: where I think I'm at, how hard I think I'm working,

134
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: or how intelligently or how effectively or how productively I

135
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: think I'm working, and what the true story is. Now,

136
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: this is not about beating ourselves up. This is about realization.

137
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: This is about understanding our own capacity. This is about

138
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: me knowing that I actually have much more potential than

139
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: I am currently using. Because you can't get more potential,

140
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: you can't get better genetics, you can't get more hours

141
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: in a day. You might free up some of your ours,

142
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: but we've all got fourteen hundred and forty minutes a day,

143
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five

144
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: days for most years anyway, per year, all of those things,

145
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: all of those kind of old fashioned, boring metrics that

146
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: we talk about, right, But then there's what we do

147
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: in the fourteen hundred and forty minutes a day that's

148
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: how well we use those hours and minutes. That's how

149
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: well we use that time, those resources, those advisors, those books,

150
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: that information, that education, that capacity of one's body, what

151
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: we do with it. This is the thing. But I

152
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: guess the inhibiting or the limiting factor here quite often

153
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: is that the thing that we need to do to

154
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: optimize our genetics. Why did all mate John tell me

155
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: that ten was his limit nearly when he then went

156
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: and did twenty three or twenty four, Because twenty three

157
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: or twenty four is fucking hard. It's hard. We don't

158
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: like hard. And the truth is to optimize our genetics,

159
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: to optimize all the things that we talk about, right

160
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: might be just our brain potential, but to optimize that,

161
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: we've got to dig deep and do shit that's uncomfortable

162
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: and hard. That is how our capacity and our performance

163
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: both come closer together. So I know I'm not genetically gifted,

164
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: and I know at sixty two, the likelihood, if we're

165
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: speaking typically across the board, most people are definitely not

166
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: getting better at sixty two. That's great. Guess what I'm

167
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: not most people. I'm a human. You're not most people.

168
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: You're one person that's not saying I'm better. I'm definitely

169
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: not better. You're not better. We're just another bum on

170
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the seat, when just another human in the room. But

171
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: here's the thing that you and I get to do.

172
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: You and I get to choose how we will behave.

173
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: You and I get to choose what we will do

174
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: with what we've been given and what we have available.

175
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: And what other people do or be or create or

176
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: don't do or get right or get wrong or fuck

177
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: up or winge about or can what they do called,

178
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: that's their business. But if you, like me, are truly

179
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: interested in improvement, you listen to me because most of

180
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: you anyway, you want improvement, you want learning, you want evolution,

181
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: you want development, you want less chaos, you want more calm,

182
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: you want better results, you want better experiences. Guess what,

183
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: nobody's going to fucking create those or do those, or

184
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: them to you on a platter. So it comes down

185
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: to your capacity. It comes down to my capacity to

186
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: do the things at the level that produce the results

187
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: that you want. Conversely, you might say, as many do

188
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: are too hard cool, there's no judgment in that, there's

189
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: no criticism of that. Then set the bar lower. Learn

190
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: to be happy. Where you are, learn to be content

191
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: where you are there doesn't need to be striving or

192
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: there doesn't need to be necessarily any kind of linear growth.

193
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: If that's and I mean that generally. If some people

194
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: it's like, oh where that's good, great, knock yourself out,

195
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: you should stay there. If you're in the middle of that,

196
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: content and happy and relatively mentally, emotionally physically healthy, then

197
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: you are ahead of most people. Well done. If that's

198
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: not you again, not better or worse, just different. You

199
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: are you. I am me. I want to improve my

200
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: brain function as I head towards my sixty fifth year

201
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: and my seventies. I want to. I don't know if

202
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: I will, but that's my intention. What I definitely know

203
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: is I will not accidentally improve my cognitive capacity or

204
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: function by just doing life. So I need of the

205
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred and forty minutes a day, and maybe I

206
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: need to spend ten twenty thirty minutes consciously doing something

207
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: which is essentially a version of training for my brain.

208
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: I want my body to be as fit and strong

209
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: and functional and flexible and healthy as long as I

210
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: as long as it can be. That's what I want.

211
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: So then you go, well, craz cool. It's nice to

212
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: want that, but will you do the work, the hard work,

213
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: the uncomfortable work, that tapping into your potential work to

214
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: create it? Because everybody fucking wants it. Nobody wants to

215
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: live longer, shorter, I should say, Nobody wants to be

216
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: less healthy. Nobody wants to be weaker, nobody wants to

217
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: be more sick. Nobody wants to age. We're all going

218
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: to age chronologically, but the way that we age we

219
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: can manipulate. Right, So all of these things are Yeah,

220
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: there's all the nuts and bolts, and there's do this

221
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: and eat more of that and eat less of that,

222
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: and lift that and run there and jump on this,

223
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: and fucking that's the best program. And do you know

224
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: what it's about? How we do it? It's about Yes,

225
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: there's the variability of genetics and what's best for me, Craig.

226
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: If I want to get strong as the body weight

227
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: as the pilate is, is it going to a fucking

228
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: climbing gym? Is it old fashioned? Body building is a

229
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: power look, it depends it depends on you. It depends

230
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: on what you're going to keep doing, perhaps, and it

231
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: depends on what you need based on your individual goals

232
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: and your physiological capacity. So so much of this is

233
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: about our willingness to consistently do the thing that most

234
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: people won't consistently do. What won't most people do? They

235
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: won't train consistently, they will not work out consistently. And

236
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: maybe in your bubble where you live or in your group,

237
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: that's not true. That's cool that you are surrounded by

238
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: people who are atypical. If we go to any random area,

239
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: we go to a supermarket or a shopping center, or

240
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: we go to the beach, or we go wherever, we

241
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: get one hundred random people from all walks of life,

242
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: all backgrounds, all ages, all ethnicities, all cultural whatever, all

243
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: religious kind of persuasions, all that. We just get one

244
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: hundred random humans and we put them in a room.

245
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: There's probably less than ten people who consistently, methodically intelligently

246
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: train their body to get better. Probably not even five, right,

247
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: so we're looking at a vast majority. But if you

248
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: said to all of those hundred people, would you like

249
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: your body to be in better shape, stronger, healthier, perhaps

250
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: a bit leaner, a bit more functional, less pain, you know,

251
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: better movement. Probably one hundred out of one hundred would

252
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: say I would like that. How many will do that?

253
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: Less than five? So the question is will you do that?

254
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: I want to run through some of the bullshit. I'm

255
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: going to say that some of the bullshit that we

256
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: tell ourselves or that we do that is an inhibiting

257
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: factor on the optimization of your potential. I've written these down. Obviously,

258
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: everything I just said was freestyle, but I'm going to

259
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: unpack these a little bit. I want to try and

260
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,479
Speaker 1: keep this to about a thirty minute extravaganza or thereabouts.

261
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: So top of my list is stop waiting for the

262
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: perfect time. Some people have been waiting. You know, we

263
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: have this story. It's not a good time for me.

264
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: It's not the right time for me. You know, you'd

265
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: think someone was talking perhaps about I don't know, building

266
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: a house, where timing and money and councilor approvals and

267
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: again the times an issue. But so many times for people,

268
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: so many times timing is a factor. But it's not

269
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: the reason and for me to grow or learn. Now,

270
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: perhaps I can't join a gym, or perhaps I can't

271
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: enroll in a program, or perhaps I can't build a business.

272
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: It's not a good It literally isn't a good time

273
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: or whatever the pursuit is doesn't need to have anything

274
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: to do with fitness or health. By the way, I

275
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: kind of default to that and probably too often. But

276
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: the point is, Okay, you are in a certain place,

277
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: whether that's financially, commercially, pecially personally, physiologically, academically, emotionally, you're

278
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: in a certain place and you want to be somewhere else.

279
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: And sometimes when we're at that starting line, we look

280
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: down the track at the terminus, the finish line, and

281
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: we go, ah fuck, and then we go it's not

282
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: a good time because we just get overwhelmed by the

283
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: totality of what's going to come. So what can we do?

284
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: That's a great question. What can I do? So what

285
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: if today I just did a really small thing that

286
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: wasn't majorly taxing, it wasn't majorly difficult or complicated, and

287
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: it didn't take a long time. What if you could

288
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: do something that would move the needle a little bit

289
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: to get you to where you want to go. Let's

290
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: say you want to what's something that's less craig and

291
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: more often more calm. I should say, because I always

292
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: kind of related to shit that I'm into, let's not

293
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: do that Let's say let's say you want to this

294
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: is more a block one, sorry ladies, well less ladies

295
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: restore cars. Let's say you've got an old car in

296
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: the garage and you want to restore that car. But

297
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: it's so fun to you're like, oh god, where do

298
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: we even start this? Like the engine, there's the gearbox,

299
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: there's there's the juco, there's the interior that's fucked, there's that.

300
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many things. There's so okay. Could

301
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: you go out in the garage and could you just

302
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: clean today? Could you just move all the ship that's

303
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: around there? Could you make the garage in which it lives.

304
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: Could you make that a more conducive environment to working

305
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: on the car. Could you spend an hour out there,

306
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: get some of the dust off, throw some of the

307
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: shit out, just get it a little bit more presentable

308
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: so when you go in next time, your mind is

309
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: in that. But what if you just start chipping away

310
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: at one thing where you don't need to spend any

311
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: dough What if you just start creating a list about

312
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: the things that you need to do. And what if

313
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: after you've got the list, you kind of prioritize and

314
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: then if you do that, then maybe you create a timeline,

315
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: and then maybe you do kind of a cost kind

316
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: of assessment of what you know. And now you've started.

317
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: You haven't actually rebuilt the gearbox, you haven't put in

318
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: a new motor or recondition, you haven't done anything mechanical,

319
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: but you've started the process. So stop waiting for the

320
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: perfect time, stop waiting for the planets to align. Number

321
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: two is, and this is tough, is sometimes we need

322
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: to step up when most people would give up. Some

323
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: people at the drop of a hat. It's a bit

324
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: unco comfortable, it's a bit inconvenient, it's a bit and okay,

325
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: no criticism in this, just observation. I've watched people who

326
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: are working at a one and a half out of ten.

327
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: They're like, ah, hands in the air, too hard, too hard.

328
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: Then I watch other people who are at fucking ate

329
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: in terms of discomfort, and they just fucking knuckle down.

330
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm not talking about being silly or reckless or

331
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: a hero. I'm just talking about the very practical reality

332
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: that there will come a point in the journey for you,

333
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: multiple points, multiple times, where the thing sucks, The thing

334
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: that you're doing sucks. You do want to do it. It

335
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: is not fun, it is not convenient. It is all

336
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: the shit that you don't want. But guess what, it's

337
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: also the shit that one progresses you and two changes you. Because,

338
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: as I've said to you many times, when you do

339
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: the shit that is hard, you change. Shit is still hard,

340
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: but over time you build a different relationship with the thing,

341
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: like with a dumbbell that you lift, and now the

342
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: thing that was hard eventually for you becomes easy, not

343
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: because it's less difficult, but because you're more capable. And

344
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: now that thing, as an experience is easier because you

345
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: are different. So difficult becomes easy, Heavy becomes light, complicated

346
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: becomes simple, Overwhelming becomes Tuesday, Right, it's just today. I'm

347
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: just doing this. Why. Well, because you've conditioned yourself. You've

348
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: built resilience and strength and adaptability and cognitive flexibility. You're

349
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: now a fucking weapon, and so now you'd do stuff

350
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: so much easier because when everyone else was given up,

351
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: you stepped up. When everyone else was given up, you

352
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: stepped up. Number three is a super duper simple. Create

353
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: a plan and execute the plan. Most people don't really

354
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: have a plan, And by a plan, I'm in structure, process, accountability, organization,

355
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: resource identification, all of these things where you're creating a strategic, logical,

356
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: well thought through plan that you can then execute, and

357
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: a plan that is built around critical thinking, resource optimization,

358
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: you optimization. It's not a thought or a feeling or

359
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: a vague goal in the back of your head. If

360
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: it isn't written down in some way, if there isn't

361
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: a strategy wrapped around it, if there isn't a timeline,

362
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: if there isn't an accountability process, if there aren't if

363
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: there isn't a clear path created logically not emotionally created logically,

364
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: then you don't really have a plan. You have an

365
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: idea in the back of your head. And so many people,

366
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: as I've said to you, wake up at fifty or

367
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: sixty and they're in a place metaphorically, literally, physically, financially, relationally,

368
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: they're in a place in inverted commas that they don't

369
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: want to be and they say something like this wasn't

370
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: my plan, And then I say, can I see the plan?

371
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: And they look at me bewildered because they had no plan.

372
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: They didn't really have a plan, They just had an

373
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: idea of what would happen. They had an idea of

374
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: how things would turn out. They had an idea of

375
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: how they would be and their life would be when

376
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: they turned this age or when they got to this

377
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: stage of their life. We do not accidentally succeed. Let

378
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: me resay that I think there are times where people

379
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: stumble into something fucking amazing and brilliant. I think those

380
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: times are the exception. So let's not rely on that possibility.

381
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: Let's just say that most people won't accidentally get where

382
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: they want to be, will strategically get where we want

383
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: to be. Number four on my list of eight is

384
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: don't call excuses reasons. Don't rationalize your laziness or your fear,

385
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: or your avoidance or your lack of willingness to do

386
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: the work. Don't try to justify that into some legitimate reason. Now, Also,

387
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: you don't need to beat yourself up. But the truth is,

388
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: most of the times, not all of the times, but

389
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: most of the times when I didn't achieve it an

390
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: outcome that I could have. But I'm not talking about

391
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: something that was unattainable. But most of the times when

392
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: I didn't achieve the outcome that I set out to

393
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: something which was within my capacity. The problem was me.

394
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: The problem was I got lazy. The problem was I

395
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: got distracted. The problem was I made excuses. The problem

396
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: was I rationalized bad behavior. I justified doing things that

397
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: were inconsistent with who I wanted to be, where I

398
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: wanted to go, and the outcomes that I wanted to produce.

399
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: And this is a big part of the I need

400
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: to own up, not in a self loathing way and

401
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: a self awareness way. I need to own up to

402
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: my strengths and weaknesses. When I fix something, it's me.

403
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: When I fuck something up, it's me. Tuesday, I'm the problem, Wednesday,

404
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm the solution. Either way, I'm taking ownership. And so

405
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: there's this very integral component to the transformational journey which

406
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: is built around our capacity to realize when we are

407
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: derailing ourselves, when we are self sabotaging, when we are

408
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: the problem getting in our own way. Number five is

409
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: I was hesitant to say this because I've said it

410
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: thousands of times over the years, but I'm going to

411
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: say for anyone who's relatively new to me, the rest

412
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: of you get self cup see, and that is, don't

413
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 1: rely on motivation. Motivation as I describe it as a

414
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: state that we get in a heightened state of emotion

415
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: and excitement and depending on what we're talking about four

416
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: and whatever, But it's when we are sitting above our

417
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: kind of normal, kind of flatline typical existence of energy

418
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: and perhaps even the heart rate and all of those

419
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: things where we're excited, where pump, we're in the zone.

420
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: Things are good and we're crushing, we're killing, and then

421
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: two days later we're not. We don't feel that motivation.

422
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: We're not in that state of I am motivated, I

423
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: am inspired, I am excited. That's gone not because we're

424
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: bad or we're broken, but because we're human. Right. So

425
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: the challenge is not how do I stay motivated? The

426
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: challenge is how do I stay proactive and productive or

427
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: when I can't? Be fucked and shhrt you so many times.

428
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: So motivation is great when it's there, but it is

429
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: an unreliable transformational tool. What is great is consistency and

430
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: commitment and non negotiables built around all of the things

431
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: that we're talking about. Number six is and I touched

432
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: on this a little bit, but become the solution person.

433
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: Yes you're going to have problems. Yes, bad things happen

434
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: to good people. Some people are going to be fuck.

435
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: WIT's to you. Some people are going to want you

436
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: to fail. We've spoken about that thing. It's concept in

437
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: psychology called Shardenfreuder, where people actually want to see you fail.

438
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: How fuck does that because it happened? Yes, do people

439
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: revel in other people's pain? They do sometimes. Nonetheless, nonetheless

440
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: fuck them firstly, fuck them. Secondly, you're the solution. There

441
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: are going to be resources and all of those things.

442
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: But ultimately, even if we get the right pill, or

443
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: even if we get the right program, or even if

444
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: we get the right fill in the blank, you still

445
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: need to take it. You still need to do it.

446
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: You still need to operationalize it. You still need to

447
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: be able to be the doer. Nobody can be resilient

448
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: for you. Nobody can solve your problems. People can help,

449
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: of course, but you need to be a big part

450
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: of that. So identify your problems. We're not putting our

451
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: head in the sand. We're not going life's amazing when

452
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: life's a piece of dog shit, which it can be.

453
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: We're not doing that because we're not fucking idiots, we're

454
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: not dumb. But we go, well, here's what's happening right now.

455
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: This is shit, And I would go to you, old

456
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: mate Cocker two dogs, I would go that is shit.

457
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: The situation you're in right now is shit. You have

458
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: my empathy, you have my compassion. That's nice. Now what

459
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: the fuck are we going to do? And it's that,

460
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: what the fuck are we going to do? Which is

461
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: where the change begins. Number seven is invest your energy optimally?

462
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: So your energy is not a limitless resource, just like

463
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: petrol and diesel, as we are well aware at the

464
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: moment in Australia and beyond, we don't have endless supply

465
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: of energy or diesel. Neither do you have endless supply

466
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: of emotional or psychological or physiological petrol at your disposal.

467
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: It's fine art. And so every day you might get

468
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: up and you might think to yourself self, what is

469
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: the best use of my energy today? What do I?

470
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: What do I or what have I in the last week, month, year?

471
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: What have I wasted energy? What bullshit am I obsessing about?

472
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: Am I spending my emotional tickets on them? Am I

473
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: giving control of my mind? Too? We all do that.

474
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: I do that. I still despite the fact that I'm

475
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: on this show saying this to you, do I waste

476
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: emotional energy or mental energy or physical energy every day.

477
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: I would say, yes, hopefully it's not a lot, but

478
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: definitely it's less than it used to be. But this

479
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: is you know, and it's not life or death. But

480
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: I think just become mindful of and conscious of what

481
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: you do with what you have mentally and emotionally is

482
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: a game changer. So what do I need to do

483
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: and be and create today? Where does my attention need

484
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: to be today to get where I want to go?

485
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: Or to move closer, to move the needle, to create

486
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: some change, to build some momentum. Where does my and

487
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: where does my energy not need to be? And the

488
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: last one is number eight, which is a very old

489
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: fashioned Craig Harper expression, which is naming on negotiables, So

490
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 1: naming on negotiables, So in terms of the ship that

491
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: you want to get done, in terms of the ship

492
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: that you want to change, who you want to become,

493
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: who you want to move away from? You know, remember,

494
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: when we're setting goals, we're always moving away from something

495
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: that we don't want or moving towards something that we do.

496
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: And I think that moving away from something negative or

497
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: bad or destructive or limiting is sometimes more powerful and

498
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: more relevant and more appropriate than moving towards something we

499
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: do want. I say sometimes so based on the behaviors

500
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: or the choices, or the habits, or the protocol or

501
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: the lifestyle or the diet or the work fucking whatever

502
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: that you want to step into and maintain. What are

503
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: your non negotiable rules and actions and standards and values?

504
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: What is that? But you name it and do it,

505
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: be it, live it. I don't know how long that was,

506
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: but I had I had a crack. It's twelve twenty

507
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: nine on Sunday, the twenty second of March twenty twenty six.

508
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm meant to meet the crab at twelve thirty, which

509
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: is one minute. I sent a message that I could

510
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: be five to ten late, and I'm gonna be. I

511
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: enjoy your day, kids, Love your dots,
