‘It doesn't matter who you are today...it’s who you want to become and the price you’re willing to pay to get there.’ Do you agree with this statement? Find out who you really want to be inspired by the wisdom of the world’s best teachers now 👉 go.mindvalley.com/ziqwa0B2
First off, I definitely enjoyed listening to this presentation. Many points he raises ring true.
And yet, No, I don't entirely agree with this statement. Its rhetoric is synonymous with the stereotype of Protestant flavored hyper-achievement and, in many cases, that of hyper-capitalism ideals. The issue he presents is not, first and foremost, how cam I be of service to family, community, Nature or the world. That has to be the starting point, or this planet is toast!
Rather, his underlying message is about that aspect of the human 'me', when coupled with hard work, determination and capitalist zeal, that can accomplish big financial goals-just as in his own [very interesting] case, And then, someday, we'll have "made it" and be happy, and can then afford to endow a library, grant scholarships, or feed the homeless on Thanksgiving.
As you know, the great contributors to human society (e.g., great artists of all kinds) and those contributors to Nature Herself (e.g., John Muir; Ansel Adams) functioned by passion, not cerebral calculation; not by living up to some transitory standard that will make them rich, famous and then generous for a while.
Consider inviting Gerald Powell of Rythmia-see the video "Mrs. Moon's Medicine". Or invite David Meltzer who was just interviewed on London Real (December 19, 2019). These guys made it big, although not of the billionaire class. One was philanthropic. Such amazing stories. Very candid and sincere. They got what they wanted, but not what they needed.
The idea that you and I are NOT born as an invaluable person who is perfectly endowed for the life-experience elected in the pre-birth planning stage is a mistake. That we must reject who we are today and become something better, as long as we're willing to pay a big price in health and family, is a Western notion implying the supreme value of materialism and ego satisfaction.
@@higherresolution4490 you are so appreciated! Right off top.... Making it seem as though being born into a tiny village is some hell that needs to be overcome, just....nah. I'm actually visualizing that as where I want and truly need to be! I do think the majority have pure intentions, although I've been wrong before. It just reinforces all the shallow, selfish, narcissism that we are drowning in. It's sad. I must say, I just have an intuitive or gut feeling that just like every other belief system of this genre is about that bottom line. The work harder model has failed since the beginning of time, adding eff bombs and enthusiasm change absolutely nothing. Regurgitating the same old shit. I always think to myself DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE. How many ads have you seen pushing this shit? I swear if you are on UA-cam for an hour you will see this shit at least a dozen times, the best part is how they contradict themselves. There's an ad that plays right before this video and the man is saying how the old work harder, longer, faster idea is complete BULLSHIT and this woman claiming to be an expert in meditation due to her 5 years experience, it would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Ugh. Thanks for reading my ramblings!💞
@@itswhatyoumakeit6950 I really appreciate everything you wrote. Each point you make also represents my own observations for a long time! The Protestant work ethic is particularly fantastic for those who collect taxes, the healthcare sector, as well as for the social engineers who don't want a thinking public with free time to reflect and analyze what the heck is going in in their community. Thanks again for your comment.
Excellent statement: "... It just reinforces all the shallow, selfish, narcissism that we are drowning in." You bet. Everything is about "me" today. For example, "my achievements", "admiration by others of me", and, of course, "my inordinate capital" [which is all mine].
GREAT QUOTE!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS! I LOVE @tombilyeu & @lisabilyeu! so thankful to meet them in person & see they're AS LOVING & REAL as they are on their shows! Thanks MInd Valley! Merry CHristmas!
@@higherresolution4490 When the speaker told us, that every noon he got up to make a sandwich for his girlfriend and the only reason he did it, was shame, I was already done with him. Shouldn't it be rather "out of love", but yeah, I get it: this speech is not about his relationship with others, but to impress others. I could better deal with it, if it was not on Mindvalley, but on a more general plattform like TED talks.
You guys will never truly know how much i needed this talk at this exact moment in my life.....never ever been as low as i am now. This helped me re frame my mental situation and gave me not just hope....but anectodal evidence from Tom.Thank you
@Jona Thon thoughts about ourself and our situation are just random pieces of mental data crossing our path. We can never really know they are true because our perspective always changes. So think less thoughts about feeling low and more about the incredible mind and body you have that can perform brilliantly. They are our raw materials in which to build our lives of purpose and meaning. We all have capacity to be brilliant in something (s). Life is the journey to find it, refine it and live it. We all have equal value and worth as humans here. Choose to change your internal dialogue with yourself and set yourself free to be your best self.
Jona Thon here for you. 🦋
God bless you❤️✨
Jona Thon - brilliant!!! What a fortunate event that you’ve “never been as low as I am now”. You got this!!
How are you now? A year later?
Lessons I learnt from this priceless talk:
1. Face the self and outside criticism to let you know what skill is missing and needed for your goals. This will be your motivation in tough times.
2. Develop those skill sets constantly as that will create a learning attitude in you and get you to creating awe in your fellow men/women and living a life of excellence.
3. Decide the goal you want and the price you are willing to pay to achieve it in detail.
The whole video was one of the most awe inspiring talks I’ve ever heard.
On this Christmas Day, I'm in bed watching this. Thank you Tom. This is truly the best talk that struck home. Today, of all days.
Now you should get out of your bed because of shame 😆
Every time I hear Tom's story, it never fails to inspire me. He is the living, breathing, persona of "If I can do it, anyone can do it."
Hey Ken, I can see your a big fan of Tom Bilyeu's. I'm working on something new to try to help people. Just starting out right now & don't have anything to sell, but want to make sure to build something that actually works. I'm having a hard time understanding very specifically what it is that draws so many people to Tom (and others like him). Based on your comment, it seems like your someone that could really help me understand. If you have a few minutes for a video call, I'd love to ask you some questions. My email is hegarty jon c at gmail (remove spaces)
“Boredom is the greatest killer of dreams.” 🤯 Fact
Tom, your talk is so synaptic and the way you keep the attention of listeners by using your choice of words, the force with which you speak is explosive. What a story! Thank you for making the decision to help others and impact the world. I too am a learner and heard pearls so wisdom coming from you. I appreciate your determination. Thank you for being you!
Synaptic is not a word I was wanting to use....oops
This guy decoded both the science and spirituality.
This is the first Mindvalley talk that completely resonated with me and demanded my complete attention. The exact right talk for me, at the exact right time in my life. Fantastic! Thank You.
"Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks" - I helped my Dad dispell this around 2001 and he picked up trumpet after a 32 year break and then BECAME BETTER THAN HE'D EVER BEEN. We can DEFY the norms. I grew up in a ski racing family and started skiing at age 2 and saw really old men do things that checked my reality early on - like lifting whole trees, running over a hundred miles in a day, skiing with incredible athleticism, etc.
Great to see your comment Matt. I follow you on FB.
@@CorazonAmorcito THANK YOU!!! :)
Damn son! That took a LOT of courage to say all that about yourself! Loved all of that speech! Powerful lesson! Have even more respect for you! I am in awe!!!!
Tom- you are you while on stage- you are everything you’re looking for in your guests
Hence why he is on that stage. Sigh.
"How many great guitarists were born in Los Angeles?"
"None. Only babies were born in Los Angeles."
Growth mindset 💯

This talk is awesome!!! It sounds presidential. It should be seen by 10000 people at a stadium. Please set this up again and produce it on a bigger scale. Congratulations!!! AWESOME TOM!!!
What a great comment Attila!
I like this talk a lot! Very relatable! Hope to have as much strength as you did going your path! Have a nice day everyone!
Tom’s public speaking skills keep going from strength to strength 🔥👏🏼
I wish I was in that tiny village, in the mountains, living happily in a tiny home. Nature all around, man, imagine the sounds of night! Crickets, frogs, owls, maybe a little natural spring, cold or hot, heck maybe both!!!
This man could just sit back and rest on his laurels...NO, he's giving of himself in a big way wanting to help us transform ourselves. From "Impact Theory" to "Conversations with Tom", he's making it increasingly difficult to not want to give a fuck. He's inspired me and given me some very clear insight as to what needs to be done if I want to "Really" live an outstanding life. Thank You Tom and I look forward to meeting you somewhere in the field of all possibilities! Be well
Really, owning your shit and flaws is the starting point of your transformation. This shit gives you instant clarity of what you truly are and then change happens. I owned my shit, I owned my failures, I owned my irresponsibility and didn't blame anything on anyone. But then I felt from that moment on I could only improve and not the other way around for being honestly real to myself. Stay true to yourself guys. Every fucking day I am getting better at this and so can you.
This talk is amazing I love it the message resonates deeply in my heart I can feel every word stabbing me in my soul to someone reading this pay closer attention to your heart and listen to this talk over and over until it sinks into your heart get ready 2020 is staring us in the face you can do it
Living this as a reminder.
Just got an email from Tom Bilyeu's team linking this video.
I'm 28 and at rock bottom the worst depression I've ever heard.
But I'm making a choice to be better to do better to adapt, to be a learner and forge my own path.
You can do it, keep trying!!!
@@jojoj3056 Thanks for the encouragement 🙂
Show up every day. Hit them with succes. Grow learn and train everyday
Everyone should substitute teach in an area of great need (I served in Madera & Fresno for 3 years and then taught full time in Madera for 4 years). When you are attempting to serve thousands of students over several years, the failures compound and you either face despair or your limitations to serve. To serve well, we must focus, limiting the things we give our energy to, and yet see things as they are without emotionally letting ourselves lose our footing. I think I learned more becoming a teacher while being a parent to very young children than anything else in my life. It's likely because the mistakes you make in real-time don't evaporate, they compound.
Get so good at things that when people see you DO it you make them experience the most potent human emotion... and that is AWE.
To get that good is a terrifying journey of self-discovery and confronting WHO you really are!
Because you can't make a change until you acknowledge where you actually at.
That's powerful!
(thumbs up if you agree)
Aware Intellect That part hit me right in the heart... Very Powerful!
@@captkirt6753 Me too Curtis,
it's such profound thinking!
I'm on my way to becoming a "better" and "newer" version of myself and hearing this message was such a good reminder! ✨
Wow, this Sets an Example worthy of being emulated,...... Awesome !!!!!!!!!
This struck a chord in me. Amazing seminar
FANTASTIC
If I were giving this talk I would say one part differently though. He portrays his younger self as basically a loser and I don't see it that way. I see his younger self was extremely uninspired is all. He described the system he lived in as extremely mechanistic. He's a creative human being. There's the clash. He was brainwashed by the cultural environment in both his immediate environment and the culture at large. His natural youth and naivete left him vulnerable
Phenomenal message! Hard work beats talent.
Thanks for pulling me from the Matrix, Tompheus.
Tom, This is your best work yet! Wow wow wow wow!
How Tom in the last 10 seconds transformed into the most humble & grateful human being on earth.. 🙏🏻
This is literally the reason I watch you “relentlessly”!!!! You are a saint my friend, you are blessed
Jesus, that was such a talk. I slightly moved to other areas that Tom quest and I know his story very well, heard it hundred of times, but it still gets me. This guy is such a blessing. POwerfull. I am so thankfull to Tom. He brings hope and possiblity of me to change.
I wanna be like Tom when I get older. This is so powerful.
Pure Gold. Thanks Tom.
Thank y’all so much dearest 🌹
Y’all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y’all from the bottom of my heart 💜
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏😇🌈
He pretty much summed up the entire history and evolution of personal development in 31.39 min. V impressive and truly inspiring.
