You Must Master Your ENERGY to Succeed — The Difference Maker!

We found people's both enduring mood and their in the moment energy was primarily dictated by the last 72 hours of their life. If you don't feel that energy, start with the temple. We always will question ourselves, but when we tap into something higher, we can see something higher in ourself. Even David questioned himself facing Goliath. We have become a selfie generation that prioritizes status. Because success is not just about how you perceive self individually, it's also about how you show up the energy factor. This is one of my favorite ones. We don't take this serious enough as a society, particularly in North America with 70% overweight, an unbelievable amount of children and adults into chronic disease and obesity, we have a very big problem. And so often people separate psychology from biology and they don't realize how you feel about yourself is how this thing is running. You know, if you slept great, ate great, worked out well, fed yourself nutritious food, and you really took care of the temple. Listen, it is a misnomer to talk about the body and the brain as if they're separate. The brain is running the body, the body is the brain, the body, they're not separate. Like people still misconceive that. It's like we've skipped that in school somewhere. There is no brain, body connection. It's the body. The brain is something in the body. The brain is not outside the body. There's the brain, there's the body. You guys should work together more. It's the same thing. It's right there. Whatever you put in here, he's right there. This thing is eaten from this thing. There's no separation. So that Big Mac that you ate, it's up here, not just here. When you sit down here and this gets flabby, it's up here. And people don't realize this. You know what's fascinating? One of my favorite studies we did in high performance research was that we found people's both enduring mood and their in the moment energy was primarily dictated by the last 72 hours of their life. It's like amazing. Missed three nights of sleep. Feel like crap today. Eat like crap for three days. Feel like crap today. Don't move for three days. Don't feel good today. It's funny, the last three hours, and I told Ultra members this is one of the critical things we have to learn to adopt, is that your feeling at any given moment, even now, has a lot to do with your last 72 hours. How many of you flew to be in here? You're not in la, you flew to be here, would you stand up? All of our members who flew to be here, would you stand up? Recognize our out of state friends. Let's go. Oh, wow. This is not a local crowd. Have a seat. Well, guess What? That last 72 hours of flight and jet lag, that has a lot to do with it. He's talking about self esteem. If you traveled from outside the United States of America, would you stand up and get recognized? Our international students who came here today, let's go. Wow. Hey, that's awesome. Thank you. So cool. I love you too. Hey, that travel, that adds up. Some of you been on the road so long, you don't even feel anything about yourself. And we have to talk about that because there's an energy in self esteem. It's aware, it's alert, it's vibrant. I like myself, I'm excited for myself. I'm excited for this day. I'm excited to see how Brendan shows up today. If you don't feel that energy, start with the temple. If you feel numb, start with the temple. Start there. Always. Some people say, yeah, go to. No, no, Brandon, if you feel numb, go to the therapist. I'm like, yes, go to the therapist. And let the therapist who's progressive and has any education in modern science tell you, start walking, start working out, starting it better. Add healthy habits to yourself. Cause it will help your psyche. Can I get an amen on a weekday? Ladies and gentlemen, if you're talking with a therapist, a coach, any professional in any license in any industry in the world, and you're not feeling good, and they don't ask you about your healthy habits, leave that room and find somebody who's got a brain. In the modern era, it's a critical how we feel about. You should feel energized. Cause the temple's energized. I don't. Everyone's like, do you have to sit there and razz your brain up in the morning? I'm like, nah, I work out. The brain turns on. Like, if you wanna win, do your personal development mindset in the morning, work out and eat something nutritious to start the day. Like, we teach this. Companies exist for that. Beachbody body members in the house. I know you guys exist for that. It's like, this is not a hard triangle to morning mindset, morning workout, morning nutrition. Start that day and you'll be like, holy wow, I'm still. I'm rocking at noon, I'm going at three. I want you to experience that your esteem has a Lot to do with energy. Remember how you feel and value yourself and show up is a reflection of the esteem you have for yourself. When your esteem is low for yourself, in your mind, that translates to your body. The worse you feel about yourself because of everything we've talked about so far, the less you'll take care of yourself. If you're like, why don't I follow through on those healthy habits? Probably because something we've talked about so far, and if you haven't been able to break that for yourself, please work with a professional. Please get a coach, please go to the gym, Please talk with a therapist if you can't break. If you're like, brandon, I'm on year five. I've not been able to break this energy problem. Get someone in your life to help. I promise you. Like, whoa. Cause we're getting you years of. See, it's not about years of life. It's about years of life that you feel good, feel good about yourself, feel good about your opportunities, and feel good about how you care for yourself. And it's important because generationally, we're really screwing this up. We're not equipping the kids very well in the energy part. And the energy part doesn't stop at the body. I'm somebody. I'm a spiritual person. And you guys know I believe in God. And my introduction to personal development was standing, bleeding out, thinking I was going to die on a wrecked car. And then I had a connection moment where I knew I was gonna be okay. And that moment was the beginning for my faith. That was the moment where I was, like, feeling blessed. And I promised God that I would earn my time on this life. I promised him. I said, I'm gonna earn it. I'll earn it. And I share this with you because I also want you to have the gift of spiritual energy. Spiritual energy that might mean something completely different for every person to your left and to your right. But when you tap into it, the good news is that, well is abundant. Maybe that's the universe for you, oneness for you, God for you, consciousness for you. It's meditation for you. It's just a quiet walk in the woods for you. But some level of spiritual energy. If you can find that, it's just like it's a whole other thing. And I know some people say that has nothing to do with self esteem. I'm like, really? How can you say that? Because I believe mind, body, spirit, all affect how I sense myself. And if I only sense myself in my own little coffin of life, If I can't see beyond myself and tap into something bigger, it's hard to feel bigger than every momentary crisis or circumstance. You know what I'm saying? It's like when I'm in it and it's hard and it's a struggle, I'm like, whoo, I'm tapped in. I know I'm gonna be okay. I know I'm gonna be loved. I know I'm gonna be supported. I know, I know. Do you know how incredibly powerful that sense is that you already cared for, that you already loved, that you're already part of something that's beautiful and generous and big and energetic? Whether you call that God or just you have the humility to look at literally one of those galaxy maps that shows how tiny the little blue dot is. As we all learn from Carl Sagan, when you see that little blue dot and then they zoom out and they show you all the other trillions of stars and they're like, haha, just kidding, that's just your galaxy. There's a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion other galaxies. And you're like, ooh, do you know how huge a trillion is? Unbelievable. And so for you, what is that? How do you tap into that when you don't feel good about yourself? See, even David questioned himself facing Goliath. So we always will question ourselves, but when we tap into something higher, we can see something higher in ourself. And that self esteem gets a boost. I know some days Brendon Burchard sucks. Oh yeah, a lot of those days. And the days that Brendon Burchard sucks. The good news is Brendan Burchard goes, and I'm a son of God. Shift. Boosted, boosted, boosted, boosted. Whatever that boost is for you, you gotta find it. But don't think it's just mind and body. It's mind, body, spirit, tap into a different energy. I promise you'll be like, whoa, what's going on? And it's not a preaching about God, it's a preaching about energy. There's an energy flowing through you, part of you that you're tapping into or not. And if you feel shut down, check that wall of willingness. Check how much you've been measuring whether or not you're improving and care about those things again. And it's a shift. It's a shift. Another big shift is where we are as a generation. The selfie generation is poisoning the self esteem of an entire living body of beings. About 9 billion people. We are in trouble. Anyone sense this? We are in trouble. We are in a mental health crisis. And everyone's gonna blame the phone. I'm not blaming the phone. I'm calling it something different. To me, it's a selfie generation. And no, that doesn't mean your kids. If you're alive today, we are all part of a selfie generation. Oh, it's the kids. You gave the kid the phone. It's the kid. You gave the kid the phone. It's the kids. These days, all they do is stare at the iPad. Where'd they get the iPad? In the gutter. They found the iPad unboxed in the garbage. I mean, at least when I was growing up, they could blame porn on garbage bins. We cannot blame devices on anyone but the parents giving. But it's not about the kids. The self regeneration. Is everyone alive today? And let me share with this to you, it's the selfish individual mirrored concern. It's the metaphor of turning that button so the camera flips back to us and we feel how that is so important. And we have become a selfie generation that prioritizes status and liking and measured friends that aren't even really friends. They're browsers. We always forget. Everyone's like, oh, Brendan, you have a million fans. I'm like, that's amazing. But I also know the truth is many of those people were sitting on the toilet scrolling, hey, poof. It's true. It's not disrespectful. I followed many people who I like when I'm laying in bed and I'm like, oh, yeah, that part. It's a. This is not intentional. This is very different. Growth day. That's an intentional buying audience. We have to understand that everything happening online, even I'm being facetious. I love my audience. I love the people who want to learn. I never even talk about it as my audience. I've always said, our community, our community, our community, our community. People who love personal development, people who do the work, leaders, strivers, achievers. I take that incredibly important. I take it as a job. And I recognize those who are really lacking self esteem got in that mode where all they do is observe self. Because there's another side of self esteem, and that's the service side. Self esteem is not psychological. It's psychological and social. And so the service generation will change the world. When you're part of that. I know. Ultra members. I know. That's your heart. Yes. That's like what we're doing, like, service. I know this sounds so old school, but you wanna see yourself feel better. You wanna Boost, go. Volunteer. You finished a day of volunteering, you finish a day of volunteering, you're like, I feel great. You get perspective of other people struggling more than you. You get to be helpful to other people. And I know some of you are like, I get it, Brendan, but I have a good self esteem. Things are going good. I'm like, great. Have you struggled to break through? A lot of people have a very positive self esteem, but their self image, their vision for self, because it doesn't extend beyond themselves, they're not breaking through to that success. Because success is not just about how you perceive self individually, it's also about how you show up and you want to start feeling awesome. Volunteer, Give. It can be so simple. It can be literally just going and helping people who need the help in your local community. It can be literally helping out at the playground to fix the swing set that is broken. It can be literally volunteering to clean up on the highway. It can be literally feeding people. It can be literally building house for people. It can be literally mentoring somebody who's trying to start and do what you're doing. And you just go, let me give you an hour, kid. They ask you for the coffee, take them out to coffee and help them. We get in this culture, like, I'm never gonna help anybody. I'm so efficient with my time, Brendan. I'm like, I know a lot of efficient, miserable bastards. Anyone know any? I know some highly optimized people who haven't left their sauna from 1975. It's like, you need to get out of the house. You want your self esteem to grow. See the people, feel the people, talk with the people, serve the people. When you do that and it's real for you, you're just like, woo. Like, I'm so pumped backstage. Not for myself. I'm like, I can't wait to see the people. I can't wait. Who's happy to be at Growth day today, ladies and gentlemen. Then turn to the person left or right, grab their shoulders, shake them and thank them for being. Catch this one. Your self esteem. Listen to this. How you feel about yourself, your worth, your value, your caring. How you feel and sense about yourself is so tied to service. And here's the thing, if you don't have the success that you want in life, your self esteem and your service have not yet reached the deservedless level, the deservedness level. That's a hard one for a Montana deservedness to get that there's a block in how you feel about yourself and how you show up for others. That's what's happened. That's not fair. But my success that I want is so huge. I'm like, I work with people. Their success is so huge. And two things are gonna happen. They have the vision of themselves capable of doing that. So they get it. They break through that wall of willingness over and over and over. Cause they perceive themselves as worthy and deserving and strong and capable enough to get it. Or the universe plays a bad old trick, it gives it to them and they've not sufficiently done the work and they hate themselves. Now they got the success. They don't even like themselves. And so they use the success in abusive ways. They don't even like themselves. Their self esteem and their service did not match the success they accidentally fell into when or maybe they were granted, but not at the level that was appropriate. Between the two things. Perception and value of self. Perception and value of service to others. Lots of success. Those were low. That was high. They'll always break it. They won't know why, but they'll break it. They'll break the success. They'll misuse it, they'll not care, take it. They'll not serve others. They'll not see themselves capable of. So they'll default to lower impulses and that big success never manifests again, goes away or they get canceled because they do something wrong. And this sounds bad, but I've worked with these people who, they got it, they got the success, but they never worked on themselves. There was no self awareness, no congruence. They got the big dollar, the big game. And I don't say any of this judging because I'm like, remember, they're just flowing through life. None of this today is judgment as we'll talk about. But I am here to challenge. And if you feel like I got the success, Brendan, and I didn't earn it yet. Okay, let's revisit some concepts in self esteem and let's revisit your service right now. Because many successful people wall themselves off from the normal people. Who knows what I'm talking about? It's like, the more success you get, now you got the bodyguard, the more success you got, now you got the house and the gated community. The more success you get. You don't talk to your customers anymore, the more success you get. You talk to two people who lead a company of 50, the more success you get. It's easy to start thinking, I don't need to do that. I'm that special. And maybe you are. But if the service side drops, the engagement drops, the division happens, the discouragement happens. And then you have very successful people who feel defeated because they're not in the game and all they gotta do is get back in the game. The two self improvement service. If you are bettering yourself and you are serving others, I promise you it's a different thing. It's like there's a pop, there's a vibrancy, there's an energy. Like, where is that coming from? You're into self improvement and you're into serving others. When those are equal value, when those are at a level in which it has that match to the extraordinary life or the service or the success or the thing, you're just like, I feel different. And who's ready to feel different this next decade of our lives? Yeah, I want to feel amazing. Everyone shout with me. I want to feel amazing. Trumpets. I'm not going to shake them and say, you should feel amazing.
