Key points

The Infinite Worth of Glory — High performers believe they have inherent worth and were created for glory, refusing to 'shrink' or play small to make others comfortable.
Self-Centeredness as the Root of Fear — Both ego and low self-esteem are forms of self-centeredness that fuel fear, comparison, and isolation.
The Mind-Body Separation — You are not your mind; the mind is a tool that requires direction and training similar to the physical body.
Perception Defines the Problem — Based on Stoic principles, emotional states are determined by your interpretation of events rather than the events themselves.

“There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.” — Unknown (referencing Marianne Williamson)

“Self-centeredness is the root cause of all fear.” — Speaker

I am waiting for the day that people

0:01

realize that the most extraordinary

0:04

athletes and performers in the world all

0:06

have a lens through which they view the

0:07

world that is very similar to each

0:10

others but dramatically different to

0:12

everyone else's. Look, not everyone's

0:13

going to watch this video all the way to

0:14

the end but if you're an athlete, an

0:16

entrepreneur, a creative, a performer of

0:18

any sort, I want you to pay attention a

0:19

little longer than you're used to

0:21

because I'm about to give you some free

0:22

sauce for your mental game. I'm going to

0:24

share with you six core beliefs that

0:25

every single world class operator has

0:27

and I'm going to anchor each of them

0:28

with a quote from a great book. Don't

0:30

take my word for it. [music] Drill these

0:32

into your brain and then go into the

0:33

world and seek evidence to confirm that

0:35

these are true. Number one, you were

0:37

created for glory. [music]

0:39

You have infinite inherent worth. The

0:41

life you've been given is meant to

0:43

develop your character and prepare you

0:45

for that glory. Remember there's nothing

0:47

enlightening about shrinking so that

0:48

other people won't feel insecure around

0:50

you. Your playing small does not serve

0:51

the world. Number two, every

0:53

circumstance and person that you

0:55

encounter is here to teach you [music]

0:57

and help you. It's all working for your

0:59

good. The good, the bad, the

1:00

frustrating, the infuriating, no matter.

1:03

It's all working for you if you let it.

1:05

Number three, self-centeredness is the

1:07

root cause of all fear. Whether you have

1:09

too high a view of yourself or too low a

1:11

view of yourself, both originate from

1:13

self-centeredness. This is where your

1:15

self-consciousness, your comparison,

1:17

your isolation, your lack of vision,

1:19

that's where it all stems from. Number

1:20

four, you are not your mind. Your mind

1:23

is a part of you that you need to train.

1:24

Just like you learned to direct your

1:26

body, you can learn to direct and

1:28

control your mind. Your thoughts, the

1:30

greatest freedom that we all have is our

1:33

ability to direct and control our

1:34

attention, our consciousness. And as you

1:36

come to realize that you are not your

1:37

mind, you will learn to detach from the

1:40

constant stream of negative thoughts and

1:41

useless that comes in there

1:43

every single day. Number five, the

1:44

problem is not the problem. The problem

1:46

is the way you're thinking about it.

1:48

This is one of the founding principles

1:49

of stoicism and the basic idea is that

1:51

you're not ultimately happy or sad due

1:53

to your circumstances but rather because

1:54

of what you think about your

1:56

circumstances. Number six, there's no

1:58

such thing as failure, only feedback.

2:00

Success and failure are highly

2:02

interrelated, equally important, and by

2:04

our culture labeled as opposite. But in

2:07

truth, your ability to learn and grow

2:09

and maximize your potential is directly

2:11

correlated with your ability to embrace

2:13

failure and keep moving forward. I hope

2:15

these help.
