What would that feel like for me to win the Super Bowl?\\u2026it\\u2019s a feeling you\\u2019re already intimately familiar with.\\xa0Think back on those memories that gave you those butterflies, that feeling of excitement in your stomach and they made your pulse race\\u2026the things that felt so right, it almost feels wrong.\\xa0And if you can just envision that feeling right there.\\xa0That\\u2019s what it feels like to win the Super Bowl.
If you can see that in your mind, then you can be it.
Imagine feeling that type of satisfaction\\u2026in your marriage\\u2026in your business or your career\\u2026in your relationships\\u2026that\\u2019s what we\\u2019re talking about.
We\\u2019re talking about Super Bowl level success.
Everyone\\u2019s got their own version of success\\u2026.for me, mine just happened to be the Super Bowl\\u2026if you\\u2019re a physicist, then winning a Nobel Prize might be your Super Bowl victory.\\xa0For each and every person it\\u2019s about determining\\u2026what is the best possible experience I can imagine for myself?\\xa0That\\u2019s your Super Bowl.
When I talk about Basic Instructions,\\xa0it\\u2019s more than just a title or an LLC\\u2026that\\u2019s actually Basic Instruction #2\\u2026and that is decide on your specific desired outcome. \\xa0
One of the big things I run into is\\u2026I can\\u2019t tell you how many times I\\u2019ve heard this verbatim\\u2026\\u201dI know exactly what I don\\u2019t want.\\xa0But, I have no clue what I do want.\\u201d
It tells me there are some things going on at a deeper level that are leading them to stay focused on what they don\\u2019t want.\\xa0To the point where they haven\\u2019t even considered what they want.\\xa0They are just focused on avoiding that pain.
Zig Ziglar..said..\\u2019If you don\\u2019t know where you\\u2019re going.\\xa0You\\u2019ll probably end up somewhere else.\\u2019\\xa0So, yeah, it\\u2019s that important to know exactly what you want.
So what exactly do you want?\\xa0Some people might say \\u201cI just want to make more money.\\u201d Basic Instruction #2 : decide on your SPECIFIC desire outcome.\\xa0So, if you want more money, alright, I\\u2019ve got a quarter right here\\u2026.you said you wanted more money, I got you a quarter.\\xa0Is that not more money?
My first specific desired outcome was to play for the Pirates.\\xa0But, that\\u2019s something I didn\\u2019t quite make and I had this football thing to fall back on, so I was ok.
I found sports and I found my male role models in my coaches\\u2026the men who told me what it was like to be a successful human being.
For me, it was more of an emotional and spiritual journey\\u2026playing sports\\u2026that was the place that I felt the most self-worth.
I had this vision in my mind and the value I was going to being to the world as an athlete.
So because I stayed focused on that desired outcome of becoming a professional athlete and going home to Pittsburg from age 7 all the way to age 22 when I was drafted, I got the specific desired outcome I wanted.
There\\u2019s 4 Basic Instructions\\u2026you have to do them in order\\u2026.and you can\\u2019t leave any of them out in order for this to work the way it did for me.
Basic Instruction #1 : Let go of the past\\u2026without a shadow of a doubt, leaving that behind. \\xa0
It\\u2019s all about the way out human minds work.\\xa0We have two types of thinking as human beings\\u2026it\\u2019s about a 10%/90% split.\\xa0You have a conscious mind and you have the unconscious mind. \\xa0
Imagine a picture of a little girl.\\xa0Maybe she\\u2019s 3 or 4 years old\\u2026and imagine she has a dog\\u2026beautiful, beautiful Great Dane\\u2026.she\\u2019s a 3 year old girl and this is 160 lb Great Dane..but it\\u2019s like Scooby Doo\\u2026just loves her and would never hurt her in a million years.\\xa0That little girl\\u2026is your conscious mind.\\xa0She\\u2019s got the leash.\\xa0She\\u2019s in control.\\xa0She makes the decisions\\u2026This dog is a lot bigger and stronger than her, but it\\u2019s a dog.\\xa0It doesn\\u2019t think in complex ways\\u2026that dog is your unconscious mind.\\xa0
The conscious mind is your everyday thinking.\\xa0The complex thinking\\u2026
Your unconscious mind, the dog, think about that as the animal mind\\u2026that mind is in charge of all of your instincts, your feelings and has the most important job to your existence and that is to keep you alive\\u2026
This dog is so big and strong..that mind is so powerful, it remembers everything that ever happened to you\\u2026since you were conceived.\\xa0Every experience that has any type of emotion attached to it?\\xa0It\\u2019s still in there. And that can be an issue depending on what it is. \\xa0
I like to illustrate how we hold onto those emotions\\u2026this way\\u2026envision a long hallway\\u2026with all these doors on either side\\u2026so this is how we store our emotional memories\\u2026on the left side we have\\u2026happy\\u2026grateful\\u2026love.\\xa0All emotions that feel really good.\\xa0So, every time you\\u2019ve felt this emotion\\u2026what the dog thinks is, these feel the same, so they take those memories\\u2026and put it into that room. \\xa0
Here\\u2019s the thing about emotions.\\xa0There\\u2019s no such thing as good or bad.\\xa0There\\u2019s positive and there\\u2019s negative. \\xa0
So (on the right side of the hallway) I have\\u2026angry\\u2026fear\\u2026guilty\\u2026so every single time that I\\u2019ve felt this emotion\\u2026it goes in that room.
Whichever room has the most stuff in it will create an emotional filter through which you engage your world. \\xa0
A lot of us think we are seeing things the way they are, but you\\u2019re not.\\xa0You\\u2019re seeing it through the lens of how you feel. And it skews every interpretation and perception of what you experience. \\xa0
We have 5 negative emotions and that\\u2019s it.\\xa0Any other word is going to fall under one of these headings\\u2026.Anger, Sadness, Fear, Hurt, Guilt.
And there\\u2019s one other room and there\\u2019s a jukebox in that room\\u2026with vinyl records in it. And that\\u2019s \\u2018Limiting Belief\\u2019s Greatest Hits.\\u2019\\u2026the lyrics sounds like \\u2018I can\\u2019t\\u2026\\u2019 \\u2018I\\u2019m not\\u2026\\u2019\\xa0
Basic Instruction #1\\u2026I have to clean every one of these rooms out completely\\u2026we can\\u2019t do anything until we do that.
Thoughts like \\u2018I can\\u2019t\\u2019 and \\u2018I\\u2019m not\\u2019 are not useful.\\xa0You might feel that way in this moment then we\\u2019ve gotta change the way you feel.\\xa0Period.
Now we get to Basic Instruction #2: Deciding a specific desired outcome.\\xa0That Super Bowl level success\\u2026
If I\\u2019m looking at my future through the lens of my past\\u2026and my fear room is jammed with a lot of stuff\\u2026that fear is going to be the filter through which I look at this\\u2026.so instead of setting the bar high\\u2026that fear makes me set it down here.\\xa0And then what happens is, you\\u2019re gonna hit that goal and feel disappointed because it didn\\u2019t feel the way you thought it would.\\xa0And then that disappointment goes into the room and things get worse.
\\u2026so then you can get that vivid image of your Super Bowl level of success and write that story any way you want.
Basic Instruction #3 : Take the necessary actions that will make that specific desired outcome come true.
It reminds me of Don Harold\\u2026and he gave my favorite quote of all time\\u2026\\u201dUnhappiness is not knowing what you want and killing yourself to get it.\\u201d
What are all these days I\\u2019m putting in adding up to?
Basic Instruction #4 : Focus until.\\xa0\\u2026until that Super Bowl level experience is your reality.
The question you have to ask yourself is \\u2018Can I focus until?\\u2019\\xa0
Follow Basic Instruction 1, 2, 3 over and over and over\\u2026
It\\u2019s about learning the emotional and mental disciplines to experience this, look at it and say \\u2018that sucked. I don\\u2019t need that.\\u2019 And keep going. \\xa0
It\\u2019s getting re-focused.\\xa0Why did I get up this morning?
I may have to recalibrate and decide on new necessary actions.\\xa0Basic Instruction #3.
\\u2026Then get back to 4.\\xa0Get focused and keep going.\\xa0
PONO
If you remember the movie (Wizard of Oz)\\u2026she had the power the whole time
When you think about my Super Bowl level result which was actually winning a Super Bowl Championship, these were the 4 Basic Instructions I followed.
It was actually easy.\\xa0I worked really hard, but it was easy to do when you\\u2019re feeling PONO.
We have to get out of our stories\\u2026.our entire life actually is just stories
They tell me a story from some point in the past all the way up to right now\\u2026now what would you like to experience instead?\\xa0And then they tell me a story from this point to some point in the future, but all this stuff from the past isn\\u2019t real.\\xa0It came out of those rooms\\u2026it\\u2019s a story. And that vision they have for that Super Bowl success is not real either.\\xa0It\\u2019s a story they took out of their imagination.\\xa0The only things that\\u2019s real is right now.\\xa0
We need to retrain the dog.
I see my self like Cesar Milan.\\xa0I know how to talk to that dog\\u2026.and it\\u2019s teaching that 3 years old kid how to get the dog to heel. \\xa0
When you think about getting to your Super Bowl level of success, the first question I would start with is \\u2018How well have I trained this dog?\\u2019\\u2026because if not, and it sees a squirrel, it\\u2019s going to be a long afternoon.
Learn to make forgiving a habit.
Skydiving, go to Maldives\\u2026but what I need to do?\\xa0Basic Instructions\\u2026and teaching people how much power they have\\u2026the real pandemic is self doubt.
