" 89 00:04:34,413 --> 00:04:37,223 I can't change that I was in a car accident, 90 00:04:37,223 --> 00:04:38,453 but I can change everything else 91 00:04:38,453 --> 00:04:40,676 and I can damn well choose my attitude. 92 00:04:41,763 --> 00:04:45,203 I will be the happiest, most grateful person 93 00:04:45,203 --> 00:04:48,536 that you or anyone has ever seen in a wheelchair. 94 00:04:49,563 --> 00:04:50,666 Consider that. 95 00:04:51,593 --> 00:04:53,066 What's your wheelchair? 96 00:04:54,453 --> 00:04:56,203 What's a circumstance in your life 97 00:04:56,203 --> 00:04:57,036 that you can reference, 98 00:04:57,036 --> 00:04:59,003 past, present, or maybe even 99 00:04:59,003 --> 00:05:00,403 you're worried about for the future 100 00:05:00,403 --> 00:05:02,623 that's out of your control? 101 00:05:02,623 --> 00:05:04,283 Especially if it's in the past, right? 102 00:05:04,283 --> 00:05:06,583 Or if it's happening now based on past events. 103 00:05:07,843 --> 00:05:08,823 But what's your wheelchair? 104 00:05:08,823 --> 00:05:11,013 What's that experience, that circumstance, 105 00:05:11,013 --> 00:05:12,664 that challenge, that adversity 106 00:05:12,664 --> 00:05:16,169 that has caused you emotional pain 107 00:05:16,169 --> 00:05:20,373 when really you need to take a deep breath and acknowledge 108 00:05:20,373 --> 00:05:22,946 I can't change it, it's in the past? 109 00:05:25,983 --> 00:05:27,173 I might as well be the happiest, 110 00:05:27,173 --> 00:05:29,546 most grateful person I could ever be 111 00:05:29,546 --> 00:05:32,623 even though that thing happened 112 00:05:32,623 --> 00:05:35,883 or even though I'm going through that thing right now. 113 00:05:35,883 --> 00:05:37,623 Because see the two aren't mutually exclusive, 114 00:05:37,623 --> 00:05:39,363 but most of us think that they are. 115 00:05:39,363 --> 00:05:42,810 Most of us think that bad, painful thing happened, 116 00:05:42,810 --> 00:05:45,666 happening, I feel bad. 117 00:05:46,764 --> 00:05:48,104 Well, the reality is 118 00:05:48,104 --> 00:05:49,193 you can endure 119 00:05:49,193 --> 00:05:51,953 the most difficult painful circumstance in your life 120 00:05:51,953 --> 00:05:54,323 and choose to be the happiest 121 00:05:54,323 --> 00:05:56,346 and most grateful you've ever been. 122 00:05:57,704 --> 00:06:00,287 (gentle music) 123 00:06:01,123 --> 00:06:03,623 Why is it that when a baby is born, 124 00:06:03,623 --> 00:06:07,045 we often refer to them as the miracle of life, 125 00:06:07,045 --> 00:06:10,896 but then we go on to accept mediocrity for our own lives? 126 00:06:11,763 --> 00:06:12,873 Where along the way 127 00:06:12,873 --> 00:06:15,806 did we lose sight of the miracle that we are living? 128 00:06:18,143 --> 00:06:21,333 Perhaps we became jaded by the challenges, 129 00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:23,586 the setbacks and the disappointments. 130 00:06:25,658 --> 00:06:27,303 When we were born, 131 00:06:27,303 --> 00:06:29,883 everyone assured us that we could do, have 132 00:06:29,883 --> 00:06:32,806 and be anything we wanted when we grew up. 133 00:06:34,283 --> 00:06:36,063 So now that you've grown up, 134 00:06:36,063 --> 00:06:38,683 are you doing, having and being 135 00:06:38,683 --> 00:06:41,406 anything and everything you've ever wanted? 136 00:06:56,344 --> 00:06:58,427 (crying) 137 00:07:05,653 --> 00:07:07,933 I can only learn, grow 138 00:07:07,933 --> 00:07:10,806 and become better than I've ever been before. 139 00:07:18,652 --> 00:07:20,463 I think we struggle most in life 140 00:07:20,463 --> 00:07:24,413 when we fail to take responsibility for our lives. 141 00:07:24,413 --> 00:07:27,863 It's easy to blame other people, outside forces, 142 00:07:27,863 --> 00:07:30,793 for how we feel or how we're limited in our life. 143 00:07:30,793 --> 00:07:33,453 But when we allow our outer world 144 00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:34,953 to dictate our inner world, 145 00:07:34,953 --> 00:07:36,043 we give away our power, 146 00:07:36,043 --> 00:07:37,403 we lose control. 147 00:07:37,403 --> 00:07:41,743 And in doing so, we feel stressed and we get depressed 148 00:07:41,743 --> 00:07:44,033 and we experience fear and anxiety 149 00:07:44,033 --> 00:07:46,783 and life becomes a struggle. 150 00:07:46,783 --> 00:07:49,213 Mentally and emotionally more prescription medication 151 00:07:49,213 --> 00:07:51,513 is doled out now by doctors 152 00:07:51,513 --> 00:07:53,696 than has ever been recorded in history. 153 00:07:54,693 --> 00:07:58,282 Relationally, the divorce rate is still over 50%. 154 00:07:58,282 --> 00:08:00,313 Physically, the obesity rate 155 00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:03,242 is higher than it's ever been before. 156 00:08:03,242 --> 00:08:07,563 Financially, there's more personal debt in the United States 157 00:08:07,563 --> 00:08:10,173 than at any other time in our history. 158 00:08:10,173 --> 00:08:12,263 People are settling for less than they're capable of 159 00:08:12,263 --> 00:08:15,436 and as a result of settling, life becomes a struggle. 160 00:08:16,493 --> 00:08:18,983 According to the social security administration, 161 00:08:18,983 --> 00:08:20,393 if you take any 100 people 162 00:08:20,393 --> 00:08:22,193 at the start of their working careers 163 00:08:22,193 --> 00:08:24,303 and follow them for the next 40 years 164 00:08:24,303 --> 00:08:27,533 until they reach retirement age, here's what you'll find. 165 00:08:27,533 --> 00:08:29,253 Only one will be wealthy. 166 00:08:29,253 --> 00:08:31,663 Four will be financially secure. 167 00:08:31,663 --> 00:08:33,443 Five will continue working, 168 00:08:33,443 --> 00:08:36,563 not because they want to, but because they have to. 169 00:08:36,563 --> 00:08:38,163 36 will be dead. 170 00:08:38,163 --> 00:08:40,783 And 54 will be broke and dependent 171 00:08:40,783 --> 00:08:43,573 on friends family, relatives, 172 00:08:43,573 --> 00:08:45,963 and the government to take care of them. 173 00:08:45,963 --> 00:08:47,443 Monetarily speaking, 174 00:08:47,443 --> 00:08:49,843 that's only 5% of us who will succeed 175 00:08:49,843 --> 00:08:52,013 in creating a life of freedom 176 00:08:52,013 --> 00:08:56,213 and 95% who will continue to struggle their entire lives. 177 00:08:56,213 --> 00:08:58,993 It's no wonder that nationwide polls have shown 178 00:08:58,993 --> 00:09:02,476 that only one in three Americans are actually happy. 179 00:09:07,873 --> 00:09:09,353 - Let's talk more about what's going on here 180 00:09:09,353 --> 00:09:11,463 in this trading session so far today 181 00:09:11,463 --> 00:09:12,653 after this big plunge. 182 00:09:12,653 --> 00:09:15,453 - I've had in my life, what I would call two rock bottoms. 183 00:09:15,453 --> 00:09:17,683 In 2008, the US economy crashed 184 00:09:17,683 --> 00:09:19,640 and like so many other people in the world, 185 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,394 I suffered the financial consequences. 186 00:09:22,394 --> 00:09:25,993 Overnight, I lost over half my income, 187 00:09:25,993 --> 00:09:27,613 I couldn't pay my mortgage, 188 00:09:27,613 --> 00:09:29,343 I lost my house, 189 00:09:29,343 --> 00:09:31,213 I was deep in debt, 190 00:09:31,213 --> 00:09:32,853 I got in the worst shape physically, 191 00:09:32,853 --> 00:09:36,202 and for the first time in my life, I got deeply depressed. 192 00:09:36,202 --> 00:09:38,443 I was a motivational speaker. 193 00:09:38,443 --> 00:09:40,413 To tell everyone that I was failing miserably 194 00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:42,393 was a real identity crisis for me. 195 00:09:42,393 --> 00:09:43,623 - I was never worried 196 00:09:43,623 --> 00:09:46,583 that Hal was gonna fall into depression 197 00:09:46,583 --> 00:09:48,483 but then he started to, 198 00:09:48,483 --> 00:09:50,363 and I couldn't shake him out of it. 199 00:09:50,363 --> 00:09:54,603 I finally realized

You create the day before the day starts. 1630 01:15:21,053 --> 01:15:22,737 People talk about law of attraction, 1631 01:15:22,737 --> 01:15:24,263 but what I'm talking about 1632 01:15:24,263 --> 01:15:27,703 is a very real consistent daily creation 1633 01:15:27,703 --> 01:15:29,543 where you're doing it every day. 1634 01:15:29,543 --> 01:15:30,953 At night, you open up your journal, 1635 01:15:30,953 --> 01:15:33,516 you look at what are the things you did and didn't do it. 1636 01:15:33,516 --> 01:15:36,281 It helps keep you accountable to the actual actions 1637 01:15:36,281 --> 01:15:39,713 that you're taking to move forward in life. 1638 01:15:39,713 --> 01:15:42,973 - It forces you to sit down and identify 1639 01:15:42,973 --> 01:15:44,463 what's the most important task 1640 01:15:44,463 --> 01:15:46,193 or result you want to achieve today. 1641 01:15:46,193 --> 01:15:48,613 It makes you consciously plan your day 1642 01:15:48,613 --> 01:15:50,723 as opposed to again, like most people, 1643 01:15:50,723 --> 01:15:53,673 you wake up and you start reacting to the demand of others. 1644 01:16:09,003 --> 01:16:12,164 - When I came in here, I was having kidney failure, 1645 01:16:12,164 --> 01:16:14,039 my lungs were full of fluid 1646 01:16:14,039 --> 01:16:17,083 and my heart was surrounded by fluid 1647 01:16:17,083 --> 01:16:18,673 in a dangerous way 1648 01:16:18,673 --> 01:16:21,701 to where it could cause heart failure, kidney failure. 1649 01:16:21,701 --> 01:16:23,873 I've got a catheter in my heart 1650 01:16:23,873 --> 01:16:25,853 that is draining the fluid out from my heart. 1651 01:16:25,853 --> 01:16:26,713 It's mostly drained. 1652 01:16:26,713 --> 01:16:28,220 It's going well. 1653 01:16:28,220 --> 01:16:29,053 I've got a catheter in my lung 1654 01:16:29,053 --> 01:16:31,173 that is draining the fluid from my lung. 1655 01:16:31,173 --> 01:16:32,006 Hooked up to electrodes 1656 01:16:32,006 --> 01:16:33,603 to make sure I don't have a heart attack. 1657 01:16:33,603 --> 01:16:37,786 I've been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 1658 01:16:40,481 --> 01:16:43,148 (gentle music) 1659 01:16:49,893 --> 01:16:51,420 - I remember having 1660 01:16:51,420 --> 01:16:54,653 these kind of jarring emotional responses 1661 01:16:54,653 --> 01:16:56,853 to, oh my God, he's not doing well. 1662 01:16:56,853 --> 01:16:59,353 And there's a chance that he's actually gonna die. 1663 01:17:04,056 --> 01:17:09,056 That for me, it's a very trying emotional experience 1664 01:17:12,813 --> 01:17:14,466 in ways that you don't expect. 1665 01:17:15,543 --> 01:17:18,663 -
