They're listening to this podcast and it's a 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 4: game changer for their lives. 39 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: I appreciate them, and I think, you know, we were 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: talking about. 41 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: It differently than most right, Like I certainly have a 42 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: different voice on it than everybody else. I'm coming from 43 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: the person who's going through it then, who's messed up, 44 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: who's good with his messed upness and on a journey 45 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: to get better, to live in the blue and to 46 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: beat that grave back, which I think we're not used to. 47 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: Usually when we go to someone it's for help, it's 48 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 2: it's an expert who can help someone like me. So 49 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 2: this is the first time I think we've had a 50 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: voice like mine. We could describe it and give it 51 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: words now, so we could all have the conversation better, 52 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: so we could understand teachers like you that much better. 53 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 4: And I think as people are listening to you that 54 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 4: going oh, if Jay's suffered from this, I mean, Jay's 55 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 4: godless fame, all this success, right, I watch him all 56 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: the time on TV, and if he's going through it, God, 57 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 4: you know it's normal, Like it's something that you know. 58 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 4: I'm not crazy for going through this. There's nothing wrong 59 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 4: with me. I'm not broken. I'm just going through a 60 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 4: tough time. So they're able to relate to you and 61 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 4: connect with you, and then they're able to see within 62 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 4: themselves that there's a possibility for them to heal too, 63 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 4: because they about your healing journey, how you've been healing, 64 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 4: how you've been growing.

I always thought of myself was that man, 71 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: there's so many things wrong with me, and just beat 72 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: up myself all the time. And I get caught in that. 73 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: You know that, Hamster real if you will, One Truth 74 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: is your twenty eighth book. 75 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 4: It will be my twenty eighth book when it releases 76 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 4: on June twenty seventh. 77 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: Okay, so before we get in that, I want to 78 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: go back because we didn't hit this last time, and 79 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: I asked this to you and for people out there. 80 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: John speaks to Sports Team after Sports Team.

But I dove into how you got your 94 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: start in that first night. I don't think people know this. 95 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: They know you as the positivity guy and the guy 96 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: who's building up businesses and build businesses, bring in to 97 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: help fledgling businesses. 98 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: But how did you get your start and. 99 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: Say I'm going to go write my first book because 100 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 2: you had a completely different career path. 101 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was really miserable. Negative wife gave me the 102 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 4: ultimatum I change or whereover. I was dealing with depression, 103 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 4: a lot of anxiety, that constant pit in your stomach, 104 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 4: that angst that you have, And when she threatened to 105 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 4: leave me, I remember saying, what am I born to do? 106 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 4: Why am I here? And writing and speaking? Came to me. 107 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 4: I'm okay, I'm going to write and speak. I'm gonna 108 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 4: start doing this work. I don't know why, I don't 109 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 4: know how. It literally just came to me, and I 110 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 4: knew at that moment that I was going to go 111 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 4: do this work, start writing and speaking somehow someway. I 112 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 4: didn't even know what I was going to write about Jay, 113 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 4: but I knew that I wanted to be more positive, 114 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 4: so I started to research ways I could be more positive. 115 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 4: And this is during the emerging field of positive psychology. 116 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: So here's the guy wanted to be more positive and 117 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 4: you were working? 118 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: Where were you working? Where it's time? 119 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 4: Well, at the time, I had just literally gotten laid 120 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: off from a dot com that I was working for, 121 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: so I was gonna make my fortune. I had one 122 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 4: hundred thousand shares of this company and the dot com crashed. 123 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 4: And before that, I was in the restaurant business in Atlanta. 124 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 4: I owned a bunch of bars and restaurants in Buckhead. 125 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 4: So at twenty four, I opened up my first bar 126 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 4: in Buckhead. I was involved in a Phoenix organization. We 127 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 4: volunteered and raised money for youth focused charities. Actually started it, 128 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 4: ran for city council, walked door to door to seven 129 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 4: thousand houses. Lost the election, but became close to winning. 130 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 4: Thought my life was over, went to law school, quit 131 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 4: after a year and a half because they said this 132 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 4: is not for me. And then I went to go 133 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 4: work for that dot com thinking I'm gonna make my fortune. 134 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 4: Still had the restaurants while we're for this dot com. 135 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 4: But then sold back to my partners the restaurants in 136 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 4: the bar, and then basically moved to Jacksonville, Florida from 137 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 4: there because my wife wanted to live near the water, 138 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 4: so we looked at Tampa, Jacksonville, San Diego. We moved 139 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 4: to Jacksonville because it was only five hours away from 140 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 4: from Atlanta, and basically we had all these friends in Atlanta, 141 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 4: so we moved down there. I have this job and 142 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: then next thing you know, the company crashes and so 143 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: lose my job, don't know how many to pay the bills, 144 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 4: just bought a home. Scariest time in my life, and 145 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 4: Jay I was crumbling, like I was literally in a 146 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 4: fetal position. I was crumbling from the inside out, like 147 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: how am I going to support my family? How will 148 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 4: I support these little kids. I'm thirty one years old 149 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 4: when this happens and everything is just falling apart. And 150 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 4: that began my journey of trying to lift myself back up, 151 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 4: become more positive. I want to be more mentally tough, 152 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 4: mentally stronger. I wanted to handle this in a better way. 153 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 4: Catherine almost leaving me was that that ultimatum that impetus 154 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 4: to say, Okay, I've got to change, and I've got 155 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 4: to get better and I've got to figure this out. 156 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 4: And that's started the walks of gratitude every day. I 157 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 4: think we talked about this last time, is practicing gratitude 158 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 4: and saying what I was thankful for and doing that 159 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 4: every single day, day in and day out. I'm convinced 160 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: that began this journey of enhance mental health, more positivity, 161 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 4: and to the point where now I rarely go towards 162 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: the gray, as you would call it. I rarely grow 163 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 4: towards the negative and the One Truth the new book. Literally, 164 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 4: when I'm writing this book, I'm going, you know what, 165 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 4: that's why that stuff worked. I'm able to explain it 166 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 4: in The One Truth and explain why that stuff worked 167 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 4: and what I was doing. I was tuning into the 168 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 4: positive every day instead of tuning my brain into the 169 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 4: negative every day, and that that really is where the 170 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 4: healing started to take place. And then next thing, you know, 171 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 4: I start writing about this. How do I get my story? 172 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 4: I literally started a weekly positive Tip two thousand and two. 173 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 4: I'm setting out a weekly positive tip every single day. 174 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: Five subscribers. Initially my mother, a brother, you know, best 175 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 4: friend from college, you know, your buddies. They weren't even 176 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 4: reading it, but I'm setting it out. But eventually people 177 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 4: started to share it and it started to grow, and 178 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: then I had I had like a thousand, then two 179 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 4: thousand and then five thousand. This was back in two 180 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 4: thousand and two. No one was doing email newsletters. Then 181 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: it was one of the first of its kind. Companies 182 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 4: started to actually get it from their employees. Next to 183 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 4: you and I say, I get invited to speak, then 184 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 4: I get another speaking engagagement, then I get another one. 185 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 4: Then I got on the Today Show, did a week 186 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: series called Get Energized Today. All the way back in 187 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 4: probably two thousand and four, two thousand and five that 188 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 4: I got on the Today Show for that four week 189 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 4: series and that started you. No, No, I had not 190 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 4: the Energy Bus had not come out yet, but I 191 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 4: had gotten on the Today Show. But after that, after 192 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 4: I get on Today Show, Everyone's say like, oh man, 193 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 4: it was awesome, your career is going to take off. 194 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 4: It was an energy makeover. I was coaching these four 195 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 4: people enhancing their energy and their optimism for their work 196 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 4: and their career, their life. And it went really well. 197 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 4: But then after that everything just like sort of dried up. 198 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 4: And I'm like, what is going on? I just had 199 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 4: this great appearance. They said my career was going to 200 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 4: take off, and it didn't. I was thinking at that point, Okay, 201 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 4: what am I going to do? Get another job, figure 202 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 4: something out. And while I'm walking one day and really struggling, 203 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: the Energy Bus came to me and I wrote that 204 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 4: book in three and a half weeks of pure inspiration. 205 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 4: And then that book was rejected by thirty publishers. 206 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: Eventually got already publishers. Yeah, don't let that gout thrown away, 207 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: brother thirty. Everybody after listen. The Energy Buss, his most 208 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 2: prolific book was rejected by thirty publishers, has since sold 209 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 2: over four million copies. 210 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 4: Right, yeah, thank you, four million copies worldwide, worldwide. 211 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: By over thirty publishers. Okay, go ahead. 212 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 4: And so that book then all of a sudden gets 213 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: published eventually by John Wallly and Sons. After a lot 214 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 4: of time of really thinking it's not going to happen. 215 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 4: Your dream is not going to happen, a lot of fear, 216 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 4: what am I going to do? A lot of uncertainty, 217 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 4: wrestling with those negative thoughts and the anxiety and the worry. Again, 218 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 4: I've gotten better. At that time, I'm working on myself. 219 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 4: I'm taking these walks of gratitude and I'm doing a 220 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 4: lot of self talk during that time. Just keep going, 221 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 4: keep making a difference, keep trusting. Somehow, some way it's 222 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 4: gonna work out. Kept on praying, believing, trusting, meditating, all 223 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 4: of it, you name it. And eventually I'll never forget 224 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 4: getting the call from John Wiley that they wanted to 225 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 4: do the book. And even then, though Jay it comes out, 226 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 4: no bookstores carry the book, not one bookstore. It wasn't 227 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 4: like a Jay Glazer book where everyone wants to carry it. Like, 228 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 4: no one wanted to carry this book. And I went 229 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 4: on a twenty eight city tour to promote the book 230 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 4: and five people one city, ten people another, twenty another. 231 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 4: We have one hundred people in Des Moines, Iowa. They 232 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 4: thought Jeff Gordon was coming. True story. True story. I 233 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 4: got home, didn't know what the future held, but I knew, okay, 234 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 4: I got to live this mission vision every day. And 235 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 4: what happened was Jack del Real got a hold of 236 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 4: that book from Mike Smith. It was given to them 237 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 4: by Mike Ryan, the trainer at the time Aguars, who 238 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 4: was the trainer for the giants when you were probably 239 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 4: you know. 240 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: Covering them. 241 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, it all fits did I didn't even know each other. 242 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: Mike gave him the book. Jack reads it and Mike's 243 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 4: bean to speak to the jaguars, and after that then 244 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 4: the book just sort of took off. After that, like 245 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 4: that was like a defining moment in that way, companies 246 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 4: started reading at schools and ever since I've been doing 247 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 4: all these talks and all these engagements with companies organizations 248 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 4: based on the books. 249 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, you shipped over one part though. It 250 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 3: started selling, but not here right right. 251 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 4: It was a huge hit in South Korea, not North Korea, 252 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 4: but South. 253 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: Luckily not North Korea. Korea. Good. 254 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, my publisher, My publisher has called me the David 255 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 4: Hasselhoff of South Korea because I was like huge in 256 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: South Korea, but but not in the United States. Here, 257 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, literally top five best seller in South Korea. 258 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 4: Think about that. But Bookstorts went and carry it initially 259 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 4: in the United States. 260 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 2: So now because they it was so big in South Korea, 261 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 2: is that what got Bookstorts carried here? 262 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 4: No? Oh no, it was the tour. It was going 263 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 4: around and then it was speaking to some companies, organizations, 264 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 4: and then eventually bookstores started to carry it. But one 265 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 4: thing I did was a really good technique is I 266 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 4: would actually do these engagements and bring Barnes and Noble 267 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 4: in for instance, to come to the event to sell 268 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: books at the event and get book sales from it, 269 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: and then they would actually go back and then bring 270 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 4: the books within the store and that started to help. 271 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: Incredible, incredible. That's why I want people here. Every one 272 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: of us have had success. It doesn't happen overnight. We 273 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: get knocked down and knocked down and knockdown and knocked down, 274 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: and eventually one good thing happens. Then you got knocked 275 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 2: down again, and then something else happens, and then there's silence, 276 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: and then you get knocked down twenty more times. 277 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 3: And that's how you get to where you need to go. 278 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 2: But you have to understand too. Look look how proudy 279 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: John is telling the story. The pot of gold at 280 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: the end of the rainbow is not all the sales 281 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: at the end. 282 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 4: It's this journey that you go on without a test. 283 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: There's no triumph without struggle, there's no reward and there's 284 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 4: no victory. So if everything was easy, we wouldn't appreciate 285 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 4: the journey. The fact that it was hard makes everything worthwhile. 286 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 4: And even with mental health, even with my attitude, now 287 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 4: knowing what I was like, knowing what I had to 288 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 4: go through, knowing the angst I had, makes me appreciate 289 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 4: every day when I'm feeling more positive, when I do 290 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 4: feel hopeful, when I do feel optimistic. Now do I 291 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: still wake up at times and I'll have one of 292 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 4: those bad days or bad mornings, Yes, but they are 293 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 4: more far and few between. So now it's like it happens, 294 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 4: But now I'm recognizing what's going on, and it makes 295 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 4: you appreciate the good days and also let you know 296 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 4: it's a bad day, but this too shall pass. Just 297 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 4: keep moving forward. Don't jump off the roller coaster. You're 298 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 4: on this roller coaster life. Don't jump off. We often 299 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 4: want to escape more at the bottom of the roller 300 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 4: coaster because we think we're going to crash. Now, just 301 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 4: keep riding that roller coaster and you'll ride it right 302 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 4: back up to a better future. So I now know that, 303 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: and it makes you again appreciate what you had to 304 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 4: go through along the way. 305 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: I want to get into one truth here, because we 306 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: shot down for dinner the night myself and and John 307 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: here and his wife Catherine, and my fiance Rosie and 308 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 2: her identical twin, Renee, which was like a heck of 309 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: a dinner the other night, quite a kick out of right, 310 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: you get to see the twins.

And this helps people understand how thoughts work. 340 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 4: It helps them understand how to get to a higher 341 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 4: state of mind instead of being in a lower state 342 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 4: of mind. It helps them realize that there's a lot 343 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 4: of clutter of thought that creates that lower state of mind. 344 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 4: And we have clarity and not a lot of clutter. 345 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: We have a lot of focus, we have a lot 346 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 4: of positivity, we have a higher state of mind. And ultimately, 347 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 4: the book comes down to oneness and separateness. When you 348 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 4: realize that everything comes down to that, it gives you 349 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 4: a new lens in which how you see the world 350 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 4: like oneness and separatists. Do I feel separate? Do I 351 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: feel disconnected, isolated, alone, And when you feel that way, 352 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 4: you feel powerless and you feel fearful. When you feel oneness, 353 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 4: you feel connect you feel love, you feel power, you 354 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 4: feel joy, you feel peace, And everything comes down to that. 355 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 4: And the root for the Greek word for anxious means 356 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 4: to separate and divide, And so when you feel anxious, 357 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 4: you actually feel separate, you feel divided. When you feel one, 358 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 4: you don't feel like that. When you feel one, you 359 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 4: feel power, you feel connected, you feel hopeful. Think about teams, 360 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 4: you know, teams jay. Teams that are disconnected and divided 361 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 4: are very weak. Teams. Teams that are connected and united 362 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 4: are powerful. It's the same way with us, and that 363 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 4: really explains in many ways our mental health, our happiness, 364 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 4: our wholeness, and how well we're actually able to navigate 365 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 4: the journey of life and the challenges of life. And 366 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 4: my goal is to help people get back to oneness 367 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 4: instead of feeling so separate, because as you move from 368 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 4: oneness to separateness, what happens is you actually move from 369 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: positive to negative. Every mental health issue, every mental health disorder, 370 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 4: reports feelings of aloneness, isolation, and disconnection. Think about it. 371 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 4: They feel separate. We never say, oh, someone has a 372 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 4: mental health probably they have too many positive thoughts. Why 373 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 4: do they all move towards negative thoughts as we have 374 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 4: mental health issues. What's the correlation between the brain and 375 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 4: the thoughts that we're thinking? And this is what I 376 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 4: explained in the book In some ways it's there's a 377 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 4: lot of layers to the book. But part of the 378 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 4: book is explaining that I don't. 379 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 3: Use an actor. 380 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 2: And I know Look and John I have both big 381 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: faith gods. Because this is not a book we're're pushing 382 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: religion on you or pushing all right, this could be 383 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: used whether they have faith or not. Right, so you 384 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: but you're an acrot. On the other day, you're trying 385 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 2: to explain to us. 386 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, tune, oh ho, there's tune and there's hold. Tune 387 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 4: is really cool. Tune is is trust and truth because 388 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 4: you've got to tune your brain into a positive frequency. 389 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 4: So here's the key. Your brain is an antenna and 390 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 4: every day you are either tuning into a negative frequency 391 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 4: or a positive frequency. That's why everything comes down to 392 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 4: positive and negative, like oh, so and so is positive 393 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 4: or so and So's negative. It comes down to those 394 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 4: two major frequencies and your brain is either going to 395 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 4: tune into that negative or that positive. And the more 396 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 4: we tune into negative thoughts, what happens is we start 397 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 4: to get more negative thoughts. It's like we're tuning that 398 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 4: dial and that station becomes much more clear as we're 399 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 4: listening to it and we hear it more loudly. So 400 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 4: the key is, how do we tune into more positive 401 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 4: thoughts to uplift ourselves rather than the negative thoughts that 402 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 4: actually wring us down. And if you look at negative thoughts, 403 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 4: they will create doubt, they will create discouragement. They will 404 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 4: actually distort things and take truth and distort it with lives. 405 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 4: So you have all these negative thoughts like I'm not enough, 406 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 4: the future is hopeless. It will make you believe all 407 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: these things that are bad instead of what is possible. 408 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 4: You'll look at the worst case scenario and you'll be 409 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 4: pessimistic instead of optimistic. That's what negative thoughts do. They 410 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 4: create all this clutter in your mind. You have all 411 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 4: these thoughts and they start to race, and that creates 412 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 4: more distractions and then then that anxiety and then ultimately, 413 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 4: as I said earlier, division, so you actually feel divide. 414 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 4: You feel separate. What divides, fear divides, and so are 415 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 4: you going to tune into the thoughts that make you 416 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 4: fearful and divide you and weaken you, or you're going 417 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 4: to tune into the positive thoughts that uplift you, encourage you, 418 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 4: and make you feel powerful. So we've got to tune 419 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 4: into the positive. How do we do that? Trust and truth? 420 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 4: Trust and truth, trust instead of doubt, speak truth to 421 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 4: the lies. You unite with love. Love cast out fear. 422 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 4: So anytime you focus on love, the minute you do, 423 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 4: fear will dissipate. Fear has no power when love is present, 424 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 4: so bring love to it. And this is my greatest 425 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 4: performance tool for athletes. The minute you focus on loving 426 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 4: the competition, loving the moment, loving playing, loving the battle 427 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 4: doesn't mean you're not a warrior. You know you're a 428 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 4: warrior loving the battle. The minute you focus on that, 429 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 4: fear will dissipate. Because if you're worried about the outcome 430 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 4: and fearful of the outcome, you're not going to perform 431 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 4: very well. But if you're saying, you know what, I'm 432 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 4: loving this moment, let's go, let's see what you got. 433 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: Bring it on. I'm gonna love it. Let's see what 434 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 4: I can do here in this moment. I'm not gonna 435 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 4: worry about the outcome. I'm just gonna love competing right here, 436 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 4: right now. The minute you do that, you'll move to 437 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 4: a higher state of mind, You'll move to more oneness. Why. 438 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 4: Love creates connection. Connection creates clarity, Clarity creates confidence, and 439 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 4: confidence creates courage. So that's key. Unite with love, that's 440 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 4: the you. Then there's end neutralized and negativity essential. To 441 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 4: neutralize the negativity, negative thoughts come in. No, I'm not 442 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 4: gonna listen to it. I'm not gonna listen to the lies. 443 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 4: You neutralize it, and then you elevate. You elevate your thinking, 444 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 4: and you elevate it with optimism, with hope, with belief, 445 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 4: with gratitude. When we appreciate, you elevate. You elevate your mood, 446 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 4: your performance, the people around you. And also I'm a 447 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 4: big fan of focusing on your success of the day. 448 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 4: Like every night you go to bed, you write down, Hey, 449 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,719 Speaker 4: what's the one great thing that happened today, not all 450 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 4: the things that went wrong, all the things that you 451 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 4: did that went right. And every day you go to 452 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 4: bed feeling like a success. Guess what happens. You wake 453 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 4: up ready to take on the day, feeling like a 454 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 4: success and creating more successes. And I know, Jay, you've 455 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 4: done some of these on your journey. I know you're 456 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 4: writing about these kind of things, like they really do 457 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 4: work and they're so powerful. But why they tune your mic? Okay, 458 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 4: everyone talks about these things, but why do they work? 459 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,719 Speaker 4: And the one truth explains why because it elevates the 460 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 4: state of your mind and tunes your antenna into a 461 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 4: higher frequency. And the more you do that, you start 462 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 4: to move more wholeness and oneness instead of separateness. 463 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: I love that, man, I now practice that at night, 464 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: doing that every night, going to bed, kind of have 465 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 2: a thrown a party in my heart and wake up 466 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: with a gratitude list. 467 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 4: Right. 468 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 2: Once we do that, we start our day in gratitude. 469 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: It's a much better way to start your day. But look, 470 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 2: my problem had always been to give too much thought 471 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 2: to the negativity of Like, man, I'm almost a victim, Like. 472 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 3: How do I get it out of my head? So 473 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 3: listen to this really helps me. 474 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I had to teenager. I had a teenager 475 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 4: sixteen years old, suicidal and he was in the er. 476 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 4: Two nights before I went to go meet with him, 477 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 4: I knew his mom, and I said, let me talk 478 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 4: to him. He didn't want to talk to me. I said, 479 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 4: let me talk to him. I can help. So I 480 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 4: go to meet with him and now I'm talking to him. 481 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 4: We're having a great conversation. And I said, your negative 482 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 4: thoughts come from you, and he said, of course, they're 483 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 4: in my head. Here's my next question. If you believe 484 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 4: your negative thoughts come from you, who would ever choose 485 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 4: to have a negative thought? He's like, no, I wouldn't 486 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 4: choose a negative thought. I said, exactly, would you ever 487 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 4: choose a thought that says you don't have it today? 488 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,719 Speaker 4: The future is hopeless, You're not going to make it. 489 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 4: The health diagnosis is not going to improve, the relationship 490 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 4: is not going to get better. You're not smart enough, 491 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 4: pretty enough, good looking enough, successful enough. Would you ever 492 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 4: choose any of those thoughts? No, they're always coming in, 493 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 4: like when you're dreaming having a nightmare. Are you choosing 494 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 4: those thoughts? No? So where do they come from? Consciousness? 495 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: Spiritual place right, the internet, cloud of consciousness. The brain 496 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 4: is the hardware, It's where the activation happens. But these 497 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 4: thoughts are coming in from a spirit internet cloud of software, 498 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 4: and we're always downloading these thoughts to our brain. The 499 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 4: brain is where the activation happens. So when the thought 500 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 4: comes in, it's often a negative thought that will cause 501 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 4: you to feel doubtful, discouraged, deceived, distracted, cluttered, fearful, and 502 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 4: you name it, all the things that bring you down. 503 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 4: For all, these thoughts come in all the time. So 504 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 4: I was sharing that with the young man and he understood, 505 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 4: and I said, you have a lot of thoughts in 506 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 4: your head. He said, oh, so many. He said. They 507 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 4: bombarred me all the time. I said, do they accuse 508 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 4: you and attack you? He said yes. It makes me 509 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 4: want to give up. I have tears as I'm thinking 510 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 4: about the conversation we had. I let him know, nothing's 511 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 4: wrong with you, nothing is broken. You're just having these 512 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 4: negative thoughts that are lowering your state of mind and 513 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 4: causing you to feel separate. But guess what, your whole 514 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 4: and there's nothing wrong. You just have to remember these 515 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 4: negative thoughts are not coming from you. Stop beating yourself up. 516 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 4: He did. He stopped feeling shame and guilt. Wow, But 517 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 4: the thoughts that were in his head that were not 518 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 4: from him. See, the thought comes in, he believed it. 519 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 4: He felt shame and guilt and then beat himself up. 520 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 4: So it got worse and worse and worse, and he 521 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 4: was spiraling more and more downward. Once he understood this, 522 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 4: everything changed. The next day, his parents like, what did 523 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 4: you do? I just share with him the truth so 524 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 4: we can understand how thoughts work. And that's what I knew. 525 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 4: I need to write this book asapaig. 526 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: Wow. 527 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 4: I got to teach this to everyone it can, and 528 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 4: I've since taught it to several other teenagers who were 529 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 4: depressed and down turned them around immediately too. Just reached 530 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 4: out to this young man. It's been over a year now, 531 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 4: how you doing, high state of mind? Mister Gordon doing great, great, 532 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 4: best feeling in the world feeling. That's much work. 533 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 3: I love that, Absolutely love that. 534 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: Absolutely pres And yeah, and like John is saying, too, 535 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 2: all of us have heinous thoughts that go across our 536 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: minds and we tend to think, man, this must make 537 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 2: me a really bad person. 538 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 3: I'm the only one having these thoughts. 539 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 2: No, we all have them. We all have them. It's 540 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: just obviously are you. I was to not act on 541 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: them and you don't act on them. You're a good 542 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: person if you act on them. And you may do 543 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: some stuff that gets you in the other category. 544 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, but we all have them. 545 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, And you don't want to believe the lies that 546 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 4: they're telling you, right, and try to get you to 547 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 4: act on right. Jay. So their thoughts, these thoughts are 548 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 4: always coming in and they will lead to your destruction 549 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 4: if you believe them, if you listen to them and 550 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 4: you let them dictate you. But here's the thing, Like, 551 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 4: you have the power to take control of your thoughts, 552 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 4: take every thought captive, renew your mind, tune in every 553 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 4: day to the positive. It's hard at first because you've 554 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 4: been programmed for a long time towards the negative. So 555 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 4: you got to change that dial and keep tuning in 556 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 4: every single day. And this is what I did. I 557 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 4: took that walk of gratitude every day years ago, over 558 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 4: eighteen years ago. Now not knowing what I was doing, 559 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 4: I look back, That's what I was doing, practicing gratitude 560 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 4: every day, appreciating, and slowly but surely I start to 561 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 4: tue my mind more towards the positive, more positive, less 562 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 4: negative thoughts. And so instead of that that that highway 563 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 4: to negativity or that highway to hell. We want to 564 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 4: keep that highway going to the positive and we want 565 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 4: dirt roads to negativity. 566 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 3: Give me the whole acronym I. 567 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 4: Love whole because hole was a big part of this book. 568 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 4: And that's the goal. Like the reason why we struggle 569 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 4: so much is we all have a wound within us. 570 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: We have a hole in our soul h O l A. 571 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 4: And when you have that hole in your soul, it's 572 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 4: a sign letting you know that you need to be healed. 573 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 4: And we all have wounds of our past. We all 574 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 4: have things that happen to us. We all have trauma 575 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,719 Speaker 4: in some way that that that causes this hole. And 576 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 4: we go through life trying to fill that hole with 577 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 4: all these things that will will make us feel good, 578 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 4: but it always leaves us feeling more and more empty. 579 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 4: And there's only one thing that we're really seeking is 580 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 4: to fill the whole w h oil with wholeness, with love, 581 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 4: with k. 582 00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 2: L. 583 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 4: Right, we want to be whola. And what you said, 584 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 4: if you don't have the w then you're gonna be 585 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 4: going through life with the hila. And again, this is 586 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 4: not a religion, this is spiritual and I would say 587 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 4: when you ask people, and all studies and research shows 588 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 4: most people believe in a higher power. Ninety nine percent 589 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 4: of people I believe believe in some sort of higher power. Well, 590 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 4: I call that higher power God, and so holds an acronym. 591 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 4: Where the W is where you begin to walk with God. 592 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 4: And God is a god of love, and this God 593 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 4: of love wants to heal you. That's the h So 594 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 4: you're walking with God. The goal is to heal the 595 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 4: wound that you have and to heal the hole in 596 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 4: your soul. So what so you could become one, so 597 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 4: you don't feel separate. So you become one, and that's 598 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 4: the goal. God wants you to experience oneness, and that's 599 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 4: the oh is oneness. You walk with God, you heal 600 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 4: and as you're healing, that separation gets smaller and smaller, 601 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 4: and you start to experience this oneness that you're meant 602 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 4: to go through life with. You're meant to be connected 603 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 4: with your creator. You're not meant to be separate from it. 604 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 4: You're not meant to be separate from anybody or anything. 605 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 4: You're meant to be one and connected, and that's where 606 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 4: you find wholeness and healing. Research shows we heal in 607 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 4: a loving relationship. Think about that. So as you heal 608 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 4: in a loving relationship, you become more whole. So we 609 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 4: w walk with God. H we heal. Oh, we experience oneness. 610 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 4: When you're experiencing oneness, you know what flows from you? Love? 611 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 4: That's the l Love is now flowing from you because 612 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 4: you are one. So there's no separation, where fears coming in, 613 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 4: where anxiety is coming in, where hates coming in. Now, 614 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 4: in oneness, there's only love because God is a God 615 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 4: of love. And in that love, that then e elevates 616 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 4: your mind, elevates your soul, It renews you, it heals you. 617 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 4: And that's the power of what we're talking about here. 618 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 4: Finding that oneness, that wholeness, that connection will make you 619 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 4: more whole and then lead to more power and lead 620 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 4: to you living this purpose that you have in this world. 621 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 2: I've always viewed God as like my best friend parent. 622 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 2: What do you want from a best friend parent? Somebody 623 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 2: will just listen and be there and love you. Not 624 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 2: I don't ask God for this job to make get 625 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: me money or make sure I get this happen to 626 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 2: me or that happened to me. 627 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 3: I'd t how you end up scapegoating. 628 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: God, you know, And man, I wouldn't want to be 629 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 2: around someone that's constantly asked me for stuff. 630 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 3: But that's it. I just asked, said, listen, my choice 631 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: to have faith. 632 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 2: I never felt alone, and all the years it's been 633 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: a very lonely existence with the depressions I've had, but 634 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 2: I've chosen my choice to believe that I have this loving, 635 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: best friend type parent who's always with me, and I'm 636 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: always say I'll I'll do the work, just pick me up, 637 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 2: brush me off, and let's keep walking this walk together. 638 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 2: So I love the lesson that you get. But again, 639 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 2: it doesn't hurt anyone else from me to have faith. 640 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: I'm not push your religion on you. 641 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 4: Guy. 642 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: I understand where people get upset about that, but this, 643 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 2: just if I have faith makes me feel good, Why 644 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 2: would it bother somebody else. I never understood that. So 645 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 2: it helps you, it helps me. You haven't given a 646 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 2: shy give it a shot, Jenny. 647 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 4: Have you been doing this by yourself and you haven't 648 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 4: been feeling good and you're feeling worse and worse, and 649 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 4: you're feeling more and more disconnected, and you're feeling powerless. 650 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 4: That means in most cases, you're trying to do it alone. 651 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 4: So why not give the shot of a greater power, 652 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 4: a greater connection, a greater wholeness that actually uplifts you. 653 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 4: And here's the deal, Jade, say there's no God someone listening? Okay, 654 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 4: there's no God. Is there still suffering? Okay? So there's 655 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 4: no God, there's still suffering? Who's responsible? There's still war, 656 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 4: there's still responsible for the suffer. Who's responsible for it? 657 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 4: Guess what? Because we are divided and we are separate. 658 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 4: That leads to the war, It leads to the fighting, 659 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 4: it leads to the separation. And so what God wants 660 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 4: is he knows we're feeling separate, knows we're disconnected. He's 661 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 4: trying to big bring us back to this oneness and connection. 662 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,959 Speaker 4: But we're actually believing the lie that it's him causing 663 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 4: the suffering. Now he's trying to bring healing wholeness. It's 664 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 4: a lie, and it's the forces of darkness that are 665 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 4: always trying to divide and separate us and bring us 666 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 4: the other way. 667 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: I always tell people that when you try and blame 668 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 2: God for things, listen, God gave us ten commandments, right, 669 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 2: let's just look at those. 670 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 3: It's really kind of eight, right, because a couple of 671 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 3: them are the same. 672 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: Lord shall have no Lord besondes me, don't you know, 673 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 2: pray false tihles, things like that. So it's like hate them, 674 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 2: you know, But they're like, don't kill anybody, don't steal, 675 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 2: don't slip your neighbor's wife, right, take a day off, right, 676 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 2: and imagine how great the world will be if we 677 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: follow these eight ten simple rules. That's it, ten simple rules. 678 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 2: The world will be filled with a lot less war 679 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 2: and famine and anger, anger and anguish. But we can't 680 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 2: do it no matter what you know, what religion you are, 681 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 2: wherever you go, the most of most of the people 682 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 2: in that congregation just aren't following all ten. 683 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 3: So it's not God's fault. It's not us that's doing that. 684 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 4: Think about this, the standards that God has for humanitative 685 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 4: that he's had to say, don't tell, right, don't steal, yeah, 686 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 4: don't steal, don't sleep with your neighbor's wife. Like God 687 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 4: clearly understands the humanity right and understands what's in our 688 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 4: hearts at times when there can be this this nature 689 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 4: to actually do things that we shouldn't do. And that's 690 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 4: what I love about you, Jay. You have such a 691 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 4: great heart. You have such a big heart. You care 692 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 4: about people, and that's what that's what we're meant to do. 693 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 4: We're meant to love others, care about others, serve others, 694 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 4: impact others. And here's the cool thing. The more you 695 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 4: feel one, you want to go help the one. The 696 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 4: more you feel separate, you want to focus on yourself 697 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 4: because you want to protect yourself, and you don't care 698 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 4: about anyone else because you don't feel connected to them. 699 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 4: But the more you feel connected to God and yourself 700 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 4: and others, there's this oneness that makes you want to 701 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 4: go serve others, help others, and love others.
