Dean Graziosi walks through a five-minute process to reframe past hardships as necessary design for future success. He has you imagine meeting him ten years from now to share your biggest accomplishments, then argues that disappointments happened for you, not to you.
What if today, in five minutes or less, we could create a process to go back and change our past, to be grateful for all of it. Sometimes our brains will go. I could make it. If I'd be a lot further along. If I would have a better relationship if that didn't happen, if someone wasn't unfaithful, I could be in business. If I. I could launch and scale this. This knowledge business that I have. If, if, if, if, if, if. And without realizing it, that solely slowly sabotages us. What if you dreamt really big today? I mean, really big. Not just the financial freedom and the freedom of choice, control of your decisions. I'm sure that's probably a really powerful one for you. I want to. I want to be in control of my calendar. I want to be in control of my decisions. I want to be in control of my time. I don't want money to be a worry anymore. I want to take care of my family. I want to. I want to take care of my parents. I want to make sure my kids are okay when I'm gone. That is. That's why that's beautiful. And you should remember that. Maybe every Monday morning, you remember that. What if you transcended that? And 10 years from now, you and I had the chance to meet. I walked in someplace and you're there. We grab a cup of coffee, we sit down and go, dean, I can't believe where my life is. I can't believe this. I've done more than I ever could have imagined. I reached that. I did that thing, Something so big and so crazy that it feels like it's an impossibility. What would that be? In fact? Put it down below. If you really think about it, yes, control all those things we said. But is there one big thing? Do you wish we'd come together as a nation? Whatever nation you're in? Do you wish religions would come together? Do you wish countries would come together? Do you wish we could help so many people addicted to drugs and to alcohol and to things that numb them? Do you wish that peace would come to another level? I know it sounds like I'm. I'm not stretching. There's something inside your soul. When you get rid of the boundaries, when you get rid of the barriers, and you say to yourself, what if there was no limits to what you could accomplish? What would it be? What would you do? Beside, if the freedom was out of the way, if you didn't worry about money anymore, if your family was safe, if you were healthy? Is there a certain disease you want to put money towards. Is there certain illnesses? There's something. Your church, your family, your friends. Because then I want you to think that we got to meet 10 years from now. You know how we say don't look into the future as a goal. Pretend it's 10 years. Now you and I are having coffee and you can't wait to tell me the stuff you've accomplished and tell anybody, whoever you want to be with. I'm not giving myself the credit that you want to tell me. It might be a spouse, it might be a family member, it might be a grandparent, somebody. God. Then I want you to think of this. This is how we're going to mess with your past today in less than 10 minutes. What if not only that comes true, but what if the only way it comes true is because of all the things you went through in your life? The disappointments, the letdowns, the failures. Sorry about the fly. The hesitation, being taken advantage of, being treated wrongly, not being told you were loved, parents separated, lived alone, orphaned. I'm not trying to pretend I know your story, the illness you went through. But what if that was part of the design? What if that was part of the plan? In Tony Robbins words, what if life happened for you, not to you, to design you to be the perfect woman, to perfect the perfect man, to be the only one on this planet that could accomplish the goal or the dream or the outcome that you would love to tell somebody in 10 years because it accomplished what, if anything, was different? Your blueprint would be off and you wouldn't have been able to do it. Now, I know that might sound a little rah rah, but that's how I look at all of it. We all have stuff. We all have crap. We all have things with parents or loved ones or ex spouses or things that went wrong or illnesses. We all have something. Those that use it as the wind soar, and many use it as an anchor. Did you ever hear that story? I'm going to beat it up, say it wrong. Did you ever hear that story where they said, there's twins? One was very successful, one was unfortunate on drugs and drinking and failed at a lot of things. And when they interviewed both of them, this wealthy man and the one struggling both said the same thing. Well, how could I not be who I am? Look at my father. One used it as fuel, one used it as their anchor. What if we just realized today we'd never be able to reach that goal right here, right now, with all the experiences we had to go through. You are freaking awesome. You are freaking awesome. Let's crush it. And if you're in, put Hell yeah or Heck yeah below. We'll see you next week, Sa.
