If You REALLY Want To Make An IMPACT In 2021, WATCH THIS! | Rob Dial

Who wants change? Who wants to change? Be the change. Today, we're going to be talking about one simple solution to fix almost all of the world's problems. It's quite a promise, isn't it? Well, that's what we're going to dive into. If you listen to the podcast, this isn't going to make any sense to you. If you watch the podcast. So if you're watching on through YouTube or Facebook or Instagram, you've noticed that I wear almost the same shirt every single time, just in different colors. And that shirt says, be the change. And it comes from a Gandhi quote, which is, be the change that you want to see in the world. And so what I did about six months ago is I just started making shirts that just say, be the change. I thought to myself, if I'm going to wear something and people are going to see me all over the Internet, I want a shirt that actually represents the way that I think the world should be in the way that actually people could improve the world. And so I'll be honest with you, when I first heard the quote years ago, be the change you want to see in the world, I didn't. If I'm being honest, I didn't even really understood. I didn't really understand what it meant. Like, be the change that you want to see in the world. What does that mean? And if someone that's enlightened, like Gandhi says it, well, it must mean something really good. And what it basically means, it's super simple, is that instead of trying to fix everybody else, instead. Instead of trying to tell people what they should do, what we should do is be the example of what we think the world should be. That's what we should do. We should be the example of what we think the world should be. And there's a couple ways to try to make people change. There's two ways, and it's the perfect example, the analogy of the lighthouse versus a towboat. Now, if you look at what a lighthouse and a towboat do, both of them, their job is to get boats into the harbor safely. But even though that's the exact same job that they have to do, they do it in two completely different ways. And this is going to make sense when I get done talking about it. A towboat, what they do is they go out, they get boats, and they use all of their energy pulling and forcing the boats. You'll bring to your surface all of the little voices that are holding you back from who you want to be. And so what did I Do. I jumped in the pool, and I had a couple pictures of me inside the pool, and I had the picture, the screenshot of me being in it for nine minutes. I didn't do it because I wanted to be cool. I did it because I wanted to inspire others to do it as well. What's really awesome about it is how many messages. It was about 40 or 50 messages of people saying, you just inspired me to take a cold shower. I just took one. It was really hard, but it was amazing. And people talk about how it inspired them. But I can't just put up a picture of somebody else in cold water and just expect that everyone's going to jump in cold water. I have to realize that if I'm going to be a leader with anything that I do, I have to be the one willing to do it first. Because the speed of the leader is the speed of the team. If you have a team that's not performing the way that you want it to, you have to look at yourself in the mirror and say, how am I not showing up? It's never your team's fault. It's always your fault. And when you can put it back on you and say, how can I change if. If my community is not what I want it to be? I need to ask myself, how can I be better? How can I inspire more people, not try to force them, but how can I inspire them to be better? One of the things I said at the beginning is that so many people reach out and they're like, hey, I want to change my spouse. I want my spouse to get into this, you know? And I'll hear something like, oh, my spouse is really. My wife is really anxious. She worries a lot. She's really anxious. She gets emotional. With all the stuff that's happening in the world, how do I get her to start meditating? I can't tell you how often I see something like this. How do I get my husband to start meditating? How do I get my wife to start meditating? They have anxious thoughts and feelings, and I really think that it would help them to meditate. My response to them is, you need to meditate. They need to see you meditating. You don't force it onto them first. What you do is you take ownership and say, okay, if I want to see this person meditate, and I think it will help them, then I want to be the first person to meditate, and I want to go out and meditate, and I don't need to flaunt my meditativeness. In front of them. But what I need to do is actually just go and meditate. And if they see me meditating or if they know that I did and I go and meditate for 20 minutes and they start to notice, man, he's a lot more calm, he's a lot more peaceful. They start to notice a dissonance between how calm you are and how anxious they are. And essentially what's going to happen again eventually. It might not be a first week, the first month, the first five months, they're going to notice the difference between you and them and they're gonna go, honey, I've been really anxious lately. A lot of the stuff that's happening in the world is really getting me down. You seem to be really laid back. What are you doing and what happens? They see you being the change that they want in themselves. So they reach out to you for advice. They ask you what you've been doing and now you have an opportunity to help them change. How do you make sure that you don't help someone change? Try to force change onto them. People don't like to change. People do not like to be told what to do. You want a perfect example of it? Do 2 year olds like to be told what to do? No, of course not. It's ingrained in humans to not like to be told what to do. We like to have our own sovereignty. We like to be an individual, we like to be independent. So if you try to tell your spouse that they need to meditate because they're too freaking anxious, they're going to resist meditating. But if they see you with the change internally, of more joy, of more peace, of more calm, then they're probably going to reach out to you at some point in time and say, honey, I'm really starting to stress out. I'm really not feeling good with all the stuff that's happening in the world and I need to calm down, I need to stop worrying. I need to stop being so anxious and sad and emotional about this. You seem to be handling your life and everything really well. What are you doing now? You can go. Well, what's really been helping me is meditating. And now instead of you forcing it upon them, they are asking for it from you. It's a perfect example. So many times I hear people and they're like, oh, you know my. I'm really afraid to go out and do this and be a coach or put up motivational videos or inspirational videos on Facebook and Instagram because I'm worried what everyone's gonna say about me? Well, what happens is, at the moment that you start changing, people will start to resist it. But then what happens is people look at you and they say, man, he's been doing so well. She's been doing so well. Maybe I should reach out to them and see what's going on. Maybe I should reach out to them. Like they. People will change when there's a part of you that inspires them to want to be like you. Not when you force it upon them, but when they go, I want to see what they have. They seem to be living a life that I love. I would love to feel that peaceful. I love to feel that joy. I love to make the money that they're making, whatever it is that you have. And then what happens is they reach out to you, but they don't reach out to you unless you are first embodying that change. So what change do you want to see in the world? And how can you embody that change? How can you become that? How can you be the change that you want to see in the world? That's the question I have for you. No one likes to be told what to do. Everybody always wants to think that what they're doing is their own idea. Do you want to know the best way to do that is to be so inspiring, to live your life at such a high level, to shine your light so bright that nobody can look away from it. And then what happens? People start reaching out to you and asking how to do it. People start saying, man, that's really inspiring. Man, that's really great. Hey, what are you doing? Can I get some help? Can I get some tips? Can I get some advice? It's funny how many people, literally today, if I'm going to be honest with you. Today I got a message from a friend that I've known since 2006, and he was semi supportive when I decided to start the podcast, but a little bit skeptical. Kind of made fun of me like a friend does. And I was like, you know what? That's just what's going to happen. I'm okay with that. People are going to resist the change. Sent me a message today about 20 minutes ago, and it said, you interviewed Matthew McConaughey. Holy sh t. That's so amazing. I never thought that you would be where you are at this point, and it shows me what hard work can get you, right? That inspired him to maybe go do something different in his life, to actually follow something. So was the resistance. When I first went and started the podcast, and started putting motivational videos and started to do this, of course. But my job is not to try to prove anybody wrong. My job is not to live the life that somebody else wants me to live. And my job is to live the life that makes me feel like it's 100% right for me. And if that inspires some people, there's a lot of people that won't inspire. And that's okay. I don't need to inspire everybody. But if it does connect with them, that inspires other people to live a better life. I never want to tell you what to do. I want to show you what I'm doing that's helped me. And then I want to inspire some people to do the same thing. That's really what it is. I never preach something on the podcast that I've never done myself before. I want to use myself as a guinea pig first. I want to show you that I'm going to be the first one to do it. And I will put myself through the wringer to see if it works. And if it does, I will bring it up to you so that you know. And if you follow me on Instagram, I'm going to show you. I'm jumping in the cold pool. Why? Because I'm telling you to jump into cold pools. I'm telling you to take cold showers. I'm never going to tell you to do something that you don't want to do. But hopefully by seeing that, you go, you know what? I'm inspired. I want to do that as well. That's what you want other people to think. So what I want you to think about is this. Number one, how do you want the world to change? The world is not perfect. It's far from perfect. It's getting better. Things are happening. The old mechanisms that kept the world together and governments running are starting to come apart and starting to come to the surface and to the light. So now we can change those things, which is great. But if I were to ask you, how do you want the world to change? Write down the answers. How do you want the world to change? What would you like to see in the world? Right. That's the first thing. Number two, what are the biggest changes that you would like to see? What are the biggest change? How do you want it to change? And then what are the biggest changes that you would like to see? And then number three, how can you embody that change? So you figure out what change you want, and then you find out, how can I personally embody the change that I want to see, not force it upon someone else. But how can I embody it to the highest level so that it will inspire other people to act the same as me? So how can I embody that change and inspire others to be that way as well? Because you being the change that they want in themselves. So they reach out to you for advice, they ask you what you've been doing and now you have an opportunity to help them change. How do you make sure that you don't help someone change? Try to force change onto them. People don't like to change. People do not like to be told what to do. You want a perfect example of it? Do 2 year olds like to be told what to do? No, of course not. It's ingrained in humans to not like to be told what to do. We like to have our own sovereignty.

So how can I embody that change and inspire others to be that way as well? Because ultimately, you can't force anybody to do anything. If you want to know how hard it is to change somebody else, think about how hard it is to change yourself. It's really freaking hard, right? So it's near impossible to change somebody else. Do you want to know how to change somebody else though, is to be so, to live your life at such a high level that it inspires other people to go, I want that. I want that happiness. I want that peace. I want that joy. I want that money. I want that success, whatever it is that you have, that you inspire people to do the same as well. Because ultimately, the only way for the world to change is if we be the change that we want to see in the world. Hey, thanks so much for watching this video. If you.
