    what will see you through is not passion
  • 00:00:03
    but the sense of deep connection to what
  • 00:00:07
    you're meant to accomplish to a sense of
  • 00:00:09
    Destiny in life this is what I was meant
  • 00:00:12
    to do
  • 00:00:18
    people often say the cliche of follow
  • 00:00:21
    your passion in life you know as if
  • 00:00:23
    that's what that's what's important is
  • 00:00:25
    if that's my message
  • 00:00:27
    and I find that word passion a little
  • 00:00:30
    bit cringe-worthy it almost sounds like
  • 00:00:33
    a perfume or something it's very
  • 00:00:36
    sentimental and it doesn't have much
  • 00:00:38
    meaning to me so I never like to talk
  • 00:00:41
    about finding your passion I look at it
  • 00:00:44
    very differently because look when it
  • 00:00:47
    comes to Mastery when it comes to
  • 00:00:49
    success when it comes to gaining power
  • 00:00:51
    in this world it requires a lot of
  • 00:00:54
    effort it requires discipline it
  • 00:00:57
    requires hard work it requires years of
  • 00:01:00
    dedication patience and if all that is
  • 00:01:03
    fueling you is your passion you're never
  • 00:01:06
    going to be able to have the energy and
  • 00:01:08
    the patience to go through a lot of the
  • 00:01:11
    monotony that is involved in building
  • 00:01:13
    anything successful
  • 00:01:15
    so to be honest with you I actually kind
  • 00:01:18
    of hate that word passion so here's how
  • 00:01:20
    I look at it you have a life's task
  • 00:01:22
    something you were born to accomplish is
  • 00:01:26
    something that resonates deep deep
  • 00:01:28
    within you it's what we call a calling
  • 00:01:31
    in the old sense of the word your
  • 00:01:32
    vocation but you are called to
  • 00:01:34
    accomplish it reveals itself when you're
  • 00:01:38
    a child by things you were drawn to and
  • 00:01:40
    then it becomes clearer as you get older
  • 00:01:42
    that this is what I was meant to do I'm
  • 00:01:44
    somebody who's interested in the body I
  • 00:01:46
    need to go into sports or Athletics or
  • 00:01:49
    dance or whatever it is or I'm somebody
  • 00:01:51
    that's into patterns and Mathematics and
  • 00:01:54
    that kind of world that's where I should
  • 00:01:57
    go into or I'm into the sciences and I'm
  • 00:01:59
    kind of more of an abstract thinker or
  • 00:02:01
    I'm a word person I'm into writing and
  • 00:02:03
    literature Etc or I'm an image or a zip
  • 00:02:06
    or I like working with my hands I don't
  • 00:02:08
    care whatever it is it's all beautiful
  • 00:02:11
    it's all equal it's all great working
  • 00:02:14
    with your hands is known inferior to
  • 00:02:16
    writing a book discover what your life's
  • 00:02:18
    task is you feel a connection to it you
  • 00:02:22
    feel a love of it okay so maybe love
  • 00:02:25
    enters into the picture a bit there and
  • 00:02:28
    you feel that this is something that you
  • 00:02:30
    were destined to create and I advise
  • 00:02:33
    people very deeply on many occasions how
  • 00:02:35
    to find that it's a process that you
  • 00:02:37
    must go through if it's not clear to you
  • 00:02:40
    it was clear to me when I was eight
  • 00:02:42
    years old
  • 00:02:43
    that writing was something that I so
  • 00:02:45
    much love that I had to do and if I
  • 00:02:49
    couldn't become a writer I might as well
  • 00:02:51
    just kill myself it meant that much to
  • 00:02:53
    me okay but
  • 00:02:56
    now that you've discovered or you have a
  • 00:02:59
    connection to what this is to what your
  • 00:03:01
    life's task must be you then have to be
  • 00:03:04
    a very patient and disciplined person
  • 00:03:06
    you have to be willing to go through an
  • 00:03:09
    apprenticeship phase of many many years
  • 00:03:11
    of learning your craft of learning all
  • 00:03:15
    of the different codes and conventions
  • 00:03:17
    that go into it training with a master
  • 00:03:20
    or training with a mentor if that is
  • 00:03:22
    possible and trying different things and
  • 00:03:25
    learning as much skills as possible
  • 00:03:29
    that requires being able to put up with
  • 00:03:32
    Tedium so what happens is is it passion
  • 00:03:36
    and pleasure is your motivating factor
  • 00:03:39
    in life this is where I dislike that
  • 00:03:41
    word passion it makes me cringe the
  • 00:03:44
    passion is what motivates you the moment
  • 00:03:47
    something is boring
  • 00:03:49
    You're Gonna Go ah
  • 00:03:51
    I don't feel passionate about that I
  • 00:03:54
    don't want to study the piano every day
  • 00:03:56
    like that I don't want to have to learn
  • 00:03:58
    all these different steps in this
  • 00:04:00
    particular sport it's not passionate for
  • 00:04:03
    me mathematics it doesn't give me it's
  • 00:04:05
    not fun
  • 00:04:06
    boy is that dangerous right because not
  • 00:04:10
    everything in life is fun
  • 00:04:12
    to gain power to become successful to
  • 00:04:15
    master something is going to require
  • 00:04:18
    days and weeks of some kind of pain
  • 00:04:21
    sometimes
  • 00:04:22
    so if you're feeling out of shape for
  • 00:04:26
    instance and you want to get into shape
  • 00:04:28
    you know going to the gym and running
  • 00:04:30
    and swimming at first it's kind of
  • 00:04:32
    painful and it's kind of boring admit it
  • 00:04:35
    but then there are rewards for it but if
  • 00:04:38
    you enter into this going I have to be
  • 00:04:41
    passionate about running those laps to
  • 00:04:43
    get into shape you're never going to
  • 00:04:45
    make it past the first day because your
  • 00:04:47
    passion is going to die after day three
  • 00:04:49
    when your legs ache and your muscles are
  • 00:04:52
    tired and you're feeling kind of bored
  • 00:04:55
    what will see you through is not passion
  • 00:04:58
    but the sense of deep connection to what
  • 00:05:02
    you're spent to accomplish to a sense of
  • 00:05:04
    Destiny in life this is what I was meant
  • 00:05:08
    to do right I love this I love it so
  • 00:05:12
    much that I'm willing to put up with the
  • 00:05:14
    pain involved with the boredom with the
  • 00:05:17
    tedium with the training because I know
  • 00:05:21
    that in a year or two or five years or
  • 00:05:24
    seven years it will start becoming more
  • 00:05:26
    fun it will start opening up things will
  • 00:05:29
    start happening for me right
  • 00:05:32
    so just get over this notion that
  • 00:05:36
    everything in life has to be pleasurable
  • 00:05:38
    and here's the following way I would
  • 00:05:40
    look at it
  • 00:05:41
    redefine your concept of pleasure so
  • 00:05:45
    playing a video game or watching a porn
  • 00:05:49
    video on the internet might give you a
  • 00:05:52
    weird kind of pleasure in the immediate
  • 00:05:54
    moment
  • 00:05:55
    but then it doesn't really last it turns
  • 00:05:58
    into addiction you have to do it every
  • 00:05:59
    single day and soon the effect wears off
  • 00:06:02
    the pleasure is rather minimal
  • 00:06:05
    but if you do something where the
  • 00:06:07
    pleasure is like a week away where the
  • 00:06:10
    the moment lasts a bit longer you can
  • 00:06:12
    postpone the need for immediate pleasure
  • 00:06:15
    so let's say you take on a project
  • 00:06:17
    that's going to take a good month of
  • 00:06:19
    your life to get done
  • 00:06:21
    and then it's not much fun but then you
  • 00:06:24
    work a month and it's finished you go
  • 00:06:26
    wow I learned something I I achieved it
  • 00:06:29
    I finished it
  • 00:06:30
    me a kind of pleasure right well then
  • 00:06:33
    imagine doing that over the course of a
  • 00:06:35
    year you decide to build a business you
  • 00:06:37
    decide to write a book and then it takes
  • 00:06:40
    you a year and there's a lot of pain
  • 00:06:42
    involved but you finish it
  • 00:06:44
    wow that's a pretty damn good sense of
  • 00:06:47
    pleasure that it gave me right imagine
  • 00:06:49
    it takes five years or ten years that
  • 00:06:52
    you actually build a business that you
  • 00:06:54
    actually create something that's really
  • 00:06:56
    long lasting
  • 00:06:58
    instead of just pleasure it gives you a
  • 00:07:00
    tremendous sense of fulfillment that is
  • 00:07:03
    very deep and Lasting that is infinitely
  • 00:07:07
    greater than any kind of momentary
  • 00:07:08
    pleasure you can get in life than
  • 00:07:10
    anything that any kind of passion will
  • 00:07:13
    bring you so have that kind of long-term
  • 00:07:16
    approach and see the success that you
  • 00:07:18
    want in your career as something that's
  • 00:07:20
    going to require several years and how
  • 00:07:23
    are you going to see yourself through
  • 00:07:25
    the drudgery through the day-to-day work
  • 00:07:27
    it's through a deep connection into a
  • 00:07:30
    sense of it's going to take me five
  • 00:07:32
    years but the rewards are fantastic I
  • 00:07:35
    don't need to be passionate about it I
  • 00:07:38
    need to be consistent and I need to feel
  • 00:07:40
    connected to my work that's how I would
  • 00:07:43
    redefine that
