friend with Ollie. I

1:01

can't tell you how often I hear,

1:03

oh, I'm a little OCD. I like

1:05

things neat. That's not OCD. I'm Howie

1:07

Mandel and I know this because I

1:09

have OCD. Actual OCD causes

1:11

relentless unwanted thoughts. What if I

1:14

did something terrible and forgot? What

1:16

if I'm a bad person? Why

1:18

am I thinking this terrible thing?

1:20

It makes you question absolutely everything

1:22

and you'll do anything to feel

1:24

better. OCD is debilitating, but it's

1:27

also highly treatable with the right

1:29

kind of therapy. Regular talk therapy

1:31

doesn't cut it. OCD needs

1:33

specialized therapy. That's why I

1:35

want to tell you about

1:37

NoCD. NoCD is the

1:39

world's largest virtual therapy provider

1:41

for OCD. Their licensed therapists

1:43

provide specialized therapy virtually and

1:46

it's covered by insurance for

1:48

over 155 million Americans. If

1:50

you think you might be

1:52

struggling with OCD, visit NoCD.com

1:54

to schedule a free 15

1:57

minute call and learn more.

1:59

That's NoCD.com. I'm

2:04

thankful to see another day. No things

2:06

aren't what I want them to be. No,

2:10

I don't have all the things I want to have. But

2:13

I'm thankful that I'm still here.

2:16

I have another opportunity, another

2:19

day to live, another chance to

2:21

contribute, another chance to make a

2:23

difference in life. It

2:26

is ridiculously impossible to become a human being.

2:28

I am one. I have other good

2:30

things going for me as a human being

2:32

and I'm just grateful. You're dwelling

2:34

and looking at what you don't

2:36

have versus looking at what you have.

2:41

You are alive

2:43

against stupendous

2:45

odds. You

2:50

are breathing air, observing

2:52

sunsets, gazing into the night

2:54

sky. Most

2:57

people who could

2:59

exist will never

3:01

experience that. I

3:04

need to constantly remind

3:06

myself. I'm

3:09

not yet where I

3:11

want to be. But

3:14

I know I'll get there. I'm

3:17

not where I want to be. But

3:21

I am grateful. I

3:25

am so grateful then I'm

3:27

not where I used to be. I

3:30

find ten things to be grateful for before

3:32

my feet hit the ground. Ten

3:34

things and they can't cost money.

3:36

And especially if I'm feeling strained

3:38

and stressed, I go over

3:40

my gratitude sets because gratitude will reduce stress

3:43

all day long. Happiness

3:45

only requires that you are

3:47

grateful. If you've got a billion

3:50

dollars and three beautiful children that love

3:52

you and a beautiful husband or wife, But

3:54

it doesn't matter what you have. If

3:56

you're not grateful, if you live in an

3:58

emotional home, a habitual pace

4:00

of worry or frustration, your life's called

4:02

worry and frustration. Perspective.

4:06

And once you see gratitude and opportunity,

4:08

life is fun. You get to decide

4:10

if you're going to dwell and play

4:12

prevent defense, or if you're going to

4:14

see opportunity and be grateful and going

4:16

off. I am

4:19

not where I want to be, but

4:21

I am so grateful. I

4:23

am not where I used to be.

4:25

If you didn't make me, you can't

4:27

break me. If you didn't make the

4:30

sun come up, you can't stop me.

4:32

If you didn't make the moon shine

4:34

at night, you can't stop me. My

4:36

purpose, my will, my dedication, my motivation

4:38

is all about doing the business because

4:40

guess what ladies and gentlemen, that's what

4:42

I'm about. I'm about that business, I'm

4:44

about that life. You have to stay

4:47

grateful. You can't take things for granted.

4:49

We have so much abundance in the

4:51

world. So much opportunity. too

4:53

many people are crying about what they

4:55

don't have. Instead

4:58

of being so deeply grateful for what

5:00

they have. Do

5:02

all you can within your power

5:04

and the power of others who

5:06

love you to maximize what you

5:08

can be, what you can think,

5:11

what you can learn, how you

5:13

can love, whatever it is. That's

5:15

what you've got. Use

5:17

it. I

5:23

think we're an evolved enough species to say,

5:25

no, there is a right and a wrong.

5:27

There's a better path and not so good

5:29

path. There is a transcendent self at least

5:31

to chase. A better self,

5:33

a projection, I think it's fair to

5:35

project and believe in a delayed

5:37

gratification that, no, I want my life

5:40

to have some escalation. I

5:42

know it's going to have its downs and ups, but I

5:44

want to have at the end at least to have a

5:46

small ramp. Or what the hell are we doing here? Or

5:48

what is evolution? So at

5:50

least to chase after that. I think

5:52

like in life, you can get whatever you

5:54

want, but you can't want whatever you

5:56

want. If you don't want it, there's no

5:59

creating that. If

6:01

you really wanted it, you wouldn't

6:03

need this like inspirational podcast. They'd

6:05

make you make that decision. You'd

6:07

already be doing it. That's

6:09

not it to be defeatist. It just means

6:12

that like the only goal that anyone should

6:14

have in life is one of happiness and

6:16

fulfillment. And like this idea that

6:18

you have to win to be happy could not be

6:20

further from the truth. Why

6:22

do we hear about rock stars and

6:25

famous actors and these people that we see

6:27

as sort of like the absolute apex

6:29

of success in the industry? Why are they

6:31

all controlling themselves and dying of alcoholism?

6:33

All that darkness happening at the highest level,

6:36

it's like, because that doesn't equal happiness. Like, what

6:38

is happiness for you? your mind,

6:40

your emotions, your body. You

6:42

have 100 % control over what you do with these

6:44

things, and that's where the game is won. You

6:46

win the inner game, then you win the outer game.

6:48

A lot of people spent their life trying to

6:51

win the outer game, they won and they're miserable. You

6:55

look at your life and

6:57

you look into the future and

6:59

say, what fears am I

7:01

holding onto? What fears

7:03

that I'm allowing to imprison

7:05

me? It's keeping

7:07

me from breaking out. That's

7:10

keeping me from living up

7:12

to my true potential. That's keeping

7:14

me from really being happy.

7:16

That's keeping me from having a

7:18

sense of adventure and excitement

7:20

in my life. What's

7:22

keeping me from controlling

7:24

my destiny? furious.

7:27

And I'm giving that permission to

7:29

you. Notice what I said. We

7:32

must give our

7:35

permission to fear, to

7:37

immobilize us. Because

7:39

whatever discomfort you experience,

7:41

whatever challenges of

7:43

difficulty that it is,

7:47

you got to have it. You

7:50

got to go up in there and wrestle

7:52

with it. Will it be easy? No. Will

7:55

it be challenging? Yes. See

7:58

myself. See myself. Confronting

8:00

my fears. Confronting my fears.

8:02

Handling my fears. Handling

8:04

my fears. I'm more than

8:07

able. Where

8:10

have you been up to this point? You

8:13

look at your life. You look at what you

8:15

produce. Is it giving you what

8:17

you want? Are you living on purpose? Are

8:19

you living your dream? Are you acting on

8:21

your ideas? Are you doing all

8:23

you can do? Have you gotten comfortable? Are

8:27

you procrastinating? Are you evading

8:29

your own greatness? Are you

8:31

surrounding yourself with people that can

8:33

nourish you? Are you challenging yourself? Are

8:35

you experimenting? Are you learning something

8:37

different? Is your life an adventure or

8:40

is it boring? Where

8:42

have you been? When

8:47

you're pursuing a greatness,

8:49

you live from a

8:51

place of the willingness

8:53

to live life courageously,

8:55

to be willing to

8:58

take chances, to become

9:00

a risk taker, to

9:02

make impact, to go

9:04

beyond believing, to knowing.

9:07

To lean out onto your

9:09

own understanding to feel within

9:12

yourself There's some cause there's

9:14

something that's bigger than me,

9:16

but I'm never alone in

9:18

facing this See we don't

9:20

have the courage and that's

9:22

what it takes courage it

9:25

takes guts To do that

9:27

what you know you need

9:29

to do if you don't

9:31

have the courage to act Life

9:34

many times will move

9:36

on you and make you

9:39

act. Life will whip

9:41

your butt so bad. You

9:44

will be so miserable, you will

9:46

catch so much hell, you say

9:48

yes. I

9:50

will do it. What do you want

9:52

me to do? Take me. You've

9:55

got some ideas, some dreams that you

9:58

might have to go back and brush it

10:00

off and look at it again and

10:02

say, I've got to do this. This is

10:04

my stuff. This is what I'm supposed

10:06

to do. This is why I showed up.

10:11

Where are you going with your life? What

10:13

decisions are you making right now as

10:15

you look into the future? It's necessary

10:17

that you get outside of your comfort

10:19

zone. It's necessary that you develop some

10:21

new relationships where you can learn from

10:23

people. It's necessary that you do reading,

10:25

that you do research. It's necessary if

10:27

you're already involved in some business, that

10:29

you don't be satisfied with where you

10:31

are. You want to make it today?

10:33

It's necessary for you to constantly look

10:35

at ways of getting better. Not

10:37

only is it possible for you to have your

10:39

dream, And it's necessary for

10:41

you to challenge yourself to go after and

10:43

get better and leverage relationships that can help

10:46

you get to where you want to go.

10:48

But it's you. The

10:51

major key to your

10:53

reaching your dream, your living

10:55

up to your greatness,

10:57

your making your contribution is

10:59

you. I

11:06
