1
In this world, there are a lot of things that are beyond our control.
2
But what you do have control over is how you react to whatever happens in your life.
3
What I now know is that we all become exactly what you believe.
4
So if you believe that you can do all things because you have been endowed by a power from on high,
5
given to you by the grace of God,
6
You believe that, you walk into the world,
7
understanding that whatever problems you may encounter,
8
you still have God to lean on.
9
As I grew, my perception and understanding of what God means grew with me.
10
I expanded my view of what it means to be a citizen of the universe,
11
to be a part of the energy field that is omnipotent,
12
omniscient, all-knowing, and all-present in all things.
13
And so my confidence comes from knowing that there is something greater than myself,
14
that I am a part of and is also a part of me.
15
I call that God, but I do nothing without that understanding understanding.
16
How I think one masters one's life is to understand that you are co-creating that life with the ultimate creator.
17
Not understanding that puts you at your own pitiful, meager little will.
18
And everything is left up to you.
19
And you can't do it.
20
You cannot survive You cannot survive in this world by yourself just believing in yourself.
21
You're not big enough to do it.
22
I'm not big enough to do it.
23
Nobody's big enough to do it.
24
You have to understand that your very presence here as a human being on Earth came from something greater than you.
25
And not just your parents who wanted to have a child.
26
The fact that that egg was hit by that particular little sperm in that particular moment and you were created
27
Wow How amazing is that?
28
Of all the different choices That had to happen in order for you to be here now What a celebration that is
29
So when you recognize the mystery of that creation,
30
all the circumstances that had to configure and reconfigure themselves,
31
all the questions that we don't have answers to,
32
you have to know this.
33
The fact that I'm here matters.
34
The fact that you're there matters.
35
This is no accident.
36
None of us are.
37
When you do well, people notice.
38
When you do your best, people notice.
39
And so wherever you are, always do your best.
40
And doing your best puts you at the next level.
41
Nothing about my life is lucky.
42
Nothing.
43
A lot of grace, a lot of blessings,
44
a lot of divine order.
45
But I don't believe in luck.
46
For me, luck is preparation,
47
meeting the moment of opportunity.
48
There is no luck without you being prepared to handle that moment of opportunity.
49
And so what I would say for myself is that
50
because of my hand in a hand and a force greater than my own,
51
I have been prepared in ways that I didn't even know I was being prepared for.
52
And the truth is, for me and for every person,
53
every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for the moment that is to come.
54
A lot of people don't know their purpose.
55
And if you don't know your purpose,
56
your immediate goal is to figure that out.
57
Because otherwise you're just wandering around here.
58
So the moment you can figure out what it is you're supposed to be doing,
59
the sooner you are able to get about the business of doing that.
60
The universe speaks to us always.
61
First, in whispers.
62
And a whisper usually in your life feels like, hmm, that's odd.
63
Or, hmm, that doesn't make any sense.
64
Or, hmm, is that right?
65
It just really feels like that.
66
It's that kind of subtle.
67
And if you don't pay attention to the whisper,
68
it gets louder and louder and louder.
69
And I say, it's like getting thumped upside the head.
70
You don't pay attention to that.
71
It's like getting a brick upside your head.
72
You don't pay attention to that,
73
the brick wall falls down.
74
Life is about growth and change.
75
When you are no longer doing that, that is your whisper.
76
That is your whisper that I am supposed to do something else.
77
I am interested in seeing what the rest of the world has to offer me.
78
Anybody pretending to be anything other than who you really are,
79
you will never ever reach your personal potential.
80
You cannot do it.
81
I have known for a very long time
82
that I am a blessed person and
83
that to whom much is given much is also required
84
that you can't have all of this and not use it for something
85
that is for the greater good your intention rules your life
86
and determines the outcome every time it would happen I would say to my team well doesn't matter because Every season,
87
somebody else was coming out.
88
One talk show, two talk shows, three talk shows.
89
There have been over 100 talk shows since we started.
90
But every time, I would feel like,
91
all right, got to step up our game,
92
got to step up our game.
93
The way you step up your game is not to worry about the other guy in any situation,
94
because you can't control the other guy.
95
You cannot control the other guy.
96
You only have control over yourself.
97
So it's like running a race.
98
The energy that it takes to look back and see where the other guys are takes energy away from you,
99
and if they're too close, it scares you.
100
So that's what I would say to my team all the time.
101
Don't waste your time in the race looking back to see where the other guy is
102
or what the other guy is doing.
103
It's not about the other guy.
104
It's about what can you do.
105
You just need to run that race as hard as you can.
106
You need to give it everything you've got all the time for yourself. For yourself.
107
What I know is, you got to take responsibility for the space you hold here.
108
And understand that the third law of motion,
109
which says for every action,
110
there's an equal and opposite reaction, that is my religion.
111
That is the fundamental construct of my religion.
112
And by that, I mean,
113
I know that every thought that I think,
114
every thought that I have that moves into action is going to create an opposite and equal reaction.
115
So everything that I put out into the world is going to come back.
116
It's the golden rule on steroids.
117
The golden rule on steroids.
118
It's true.
119
That as you do unto others,
120
they will do unto you.
121
It's already done.
122
There's an energy feel.
123
There's an energy flow that I strongly feel in my own life.
124
And I know lots of other people who do.
125
You're either in flow or out of it.
126
And if you're in flow, it's like this.
127
It's like this.
128
All the time.
129
It's like this.
130
It's like flowing with the stream.
131
And the flow is in direct proportion to the center of yourself,
132
where God abides, where universal energy abides,
133
where the divine within you abides.
134
how far you are from the center,
135
from the divineness of yourself,
136
from your connection to source energy,
137
that which created you, is how out of sync you are with your life,
138
regardless of what you call it.
139
When you can align with that, nobody can touch you.
140
Gary Zukav calls that authentic power.
141
In his book, Seat of the Soul,
142
he says, When your personality comes to serve the energy of your soul,
143
that is authentic power.
144
And that's the only real power that is,
145
because you're going to lose everything else.
146
I don't care how beautiful you are,
147
one day your breasts are going to sag
148
and your eyes are going to bag and you're not going to be as beautiful.
149
And it doesn't matter how much Botox and how many times you get yourself pulled up
150
and how many hairdos and how many makeovers or what you do,
151
you know, that doesn't last.
152
It's just like the most beautiful flowering tree.
153
Everything passes, and it's time.
154
It doesn't matter how much money you have,
155
how much power you have,
156
how high you sit on the Forbes list,
157
how many times you make the most influential list.
158
All of that changes.
159
All of that changes.
160
But what is real, what is lasting,
161
is who you are and what you were meant to bring.
162
What is the gift you were meant to give?
163
And nobody can take that away from you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
