Thank you.

Why is it that intelligent people procrastinate?
5
Why is it that people that are so self-motivated often self-sabotage?
6
And why is it that no matter how many new business opportunities we get or new skills we try to learn, many of us just are simply finding different ways of earning the same amount of money or achieving the same kind of level of success,
7
as if there was kind of a glass ceiling above our head that we were trying to break through but didn't know how.
8
Now, one thing we do know is it's not down to lack of resources or opportunity.
9
We live in a time in history where there are more resources and opportunity than ever before.
10
In fact, there's many people that have access to resources and opportunity that really never get the bat off the shoulder and take a swing at life, and the results are mediocre or disappointing.
11
And then there's other people, those who have access to virtually no resources or no opportunity, and against all of the odds, went out and created magic for the rest of us to go, wow, and stand in awe of.
12
People like Colonel Sanders, who retired broke at 65 before starting KFC.
13
Obviously Oprah, people like Helen Keller.
14
Or even Albert Einstein, who dropped out of school at 15 and then failed the entrance exam for the Zurich Polytechnic.
15
No.
16
You see, if you want a masterclass in taking away the excuse that resources and opportunity are the reason why you're not successful, go study any of the lives of the people on screen.
17
You see, as human beings, our nervous system is hardwired for comfort, whereas the essence of what makes us, some would say our soul, is hardwired for growth.
18
and it's managing that dynamic tension between how good a comfort zone feels and the innate calling of our potential that lies outside of that that causes the frustration for most people and keeps them on that hamster wheel of mediocrity.
19
So how do we unravel that?
20
Well, let's look at the human brain.
21
See, what separates us from almost all of the animal kingdom, the crowning achievement of human biology, is the front part of the brain, what's known as the neocortex or the frontal lobe.
22
and that neocortex operates at a brain wavelength of alpha or beta and one of the challenges is that that doesn't get turned on until we're about seven years old.
23
See, kids operate in delta and theta, which is why babies sleep so much and why kids live in that magical fantasy world where they're operating at theta with no critical thinking.
24
Now, it also means children are very impressionable and why Aristotle is widely quoted as saying that give me the child for seven years and I'll give you the man.
25
But what happens when we drill down on that?
26
Why is that important to why we procrastinate or self-sabotage?
27
Well, I'll give you an example.
28
Let's say it's dad's turn to take little Johnny shopping and the kids.
29
And, you know, mom's busy that day and he's kind of frustrated.
30
He's got to go out and get the job done.
31
And one thing you need to know about dad, he's got his own stuff to deal with right now.
32
He's figuring out how to pay the credit card bill that was higher this month than he thought.
33
He's worried about whether the boss is going to be downsizing soon.
34
And he's still reeling from the lack of intimacy that morning caused by a fight that he had with his wife.
35
He's dealing with the stuff as we all do.
36
Now little Johnny doesn't live in that world.
37
And so when they get to the checkout, as every good retail psychologist knows, they place the products at the eye height of the people you're trying to sell to.
38
And so Johnny sees the toys, and Johnny wants a toy, and he's like, Daddy, Daddy, can I have a toy?
39
And Daddy comes out of his mind fog and says, No, you can't have a toy.
40
For a start, he doesn't think he can afford it, but now's just not the time.
41
But as parents will understand, children are prime examples of the ability to be persistent, are they not?
42
And so little Johnny says, Daddy, Daddy, I want a toy.
43
Please, can I have a toy?
44
See, little Johnny doesn't live in a world of credit card debt.
45
And in his frustration on dealing with his stuff and trying to handle the kids and all the other stuff, Daddy snaps out and says, listen, you can't have a toy.
46
You don't deserve it.
47
You're not good enough.
48
You're not behaved enough today.
49
And Daddy thinks that'll just keep him quiet while he goes back to dealing with his big world problems.
50
But what's happening right now is quite significant.
51
you see little Johnny doesn't hear that's frustration all Johnny hears is that I'm not good enough, I'm not worth it, and I'm undeserving.
52
And probably spends a large part of the rest of his life unconsciously acting out that behavior to justify why he's right, including self-sabotaging if the threat of success comes along to challenge that inner model of the world.
53
You see, when it comes to being able to work with psychology and after thousands of hours of working with people all over the world, I've come to know that the undisputed first law
54
in psychotherapeutic intervention and other areas, the undisputed first law of personal growth is this, that people will never rise above the opinion of themselves.
55
Now, one of the challenges that opinion is largely formed in our childhood years, sub-seven, from the perception of where we think we did or didn't get love from the people we most wanted it from.
56
Hmm.
57
I usually let people sit with that one for a while.
58
It also mirrors the first law of relationships, which I firmly believe states that no one can ever love us more than we love ourselves.
59
now one of the other challenges on that is that we are also creatures of habit now what does that mean
60
that means that that prefrontal cortex you know that neocortex that frontal lobe that serves all of that executive decision making is prime
61
real estate in fact the brain weighs one fiftieth of the body weight but takes up 20 of all of the calories so when it comes to using that frontal lobe, evolution has some shortcuts.
62
It says, well, clearly you're using intelligence to make the decision.
63
So it should be a good decision.
64
So when you choose the fries instead of the salad, it doesn't care.
65
Its job is to adapt.
66
And if you make that decision over and over again, then rather than take up critical thinking, which is meant to serve you intelligently, it hands it over to the midbrain.
67
And it becomes an unconscious behavior or pattern, or what we also call a habit.
68
See, now you order the fries just because it's what you do.
69
You don't even question it.
70
Now, that can be very useful when it comes to learning or not learning how to have to walk every day.
71
But it also sets up some challenges.
72
You see, we suddenly arrive at work on our day off.
73
We don't know why.
74
Or we suddenly get home and realize, where did the last two kilometers or two miles of driving go?
75
wow, how did I avoid all of the crazies?
76
Good old mid-brain at work.
77
But the deeper challenge to that, as creatures of habit, is the fact that we're using our conscious brain only a small amount of the time, that critical decision-making.
78
The rest of the time, like 95% of the time, is what I call people sleeping awake.
79
In fact, I'll give you an analogy.
80
Why do you imagine that the conscious mind is an ant?
81
Here he is, cute little fella.
82
Ants are industrious.
83
They're hardworking.
84
They're determined.
85
They're going to get the job done.
86
This is your conscious mind.
87
In fact, this particular ant went to a personal development seminar last week.
88
He set his goals and he's marching north confidently in the direction of his achievements.
89
The problem is he's marching over the back of an elephant that's heading south, our unconscious mind, with all of our limiting patterns, limiting beliefs,
90
and all of the other unresolved self-issues that go on there.
91
And we start to see why we self-sabotage.
92
See, how do you get that elephant moving in the right direction?
93
Let me give you another example, another analogy.
94
The mind is like a compass needle.
95
In fact, it can only point in one direction at a time.
96
But when we're operating from our ants, that 5% of the time where we're conscious and using free will, we can grab that compass needle and we can point it anywhere.
97
That's what free will allows us to do if we're feeling down We can go choose to watch a comedy or call a friend who can cheer us up if we're feeling low on energy We can go put the kettle on and make ourselves a coffee or a drink
98
But 95% of the time We're not doing that and as soon as we let a hand off of that compass needle consciously It will always drift back to its default magnetic north
99
Which unfortunately for most people is more negative than positive And that leads us to our third challenge.
100
And that is something you may want to really tattoo on the inside of your eyelids.
101
And that is that environment trumps will.
102
What do I mean by that?
103
I mean that our intention will always be beaten by our environment over time.
104
For example, let's say that you're a music fan, but you don't like jazz.
105
That's for the other people.
106
You're kind of a country and western kind of guy or girl.
107
And you listen to country and western in the car going to work but your car's broken down this week so your good neighbor around the corner that works at the
108
same place has offered to give you a lift so you're going to share the 45 minute drive to work and back for the next five days
109
but they listen to jazz now I don't care what you think consciously within three days I know what's going to happen within three days in the car you're tapping your feet to the beat within five days you're humming it in the shower
110
You see we don't get to choose whether or not we get programmed.
111
We're programmable by design.
112
We can only choose how we want to be programmed.
113
Another way of saying that is you can have all of the intention to be as warm and hot as you like.
114
You can raise your body temperature.
115
You can like put on some big clothes.
116
But if you choose to live in a freezer, the environment's gonna win over time.
117
In other words, you can read all of the positive affirmations.
118
You can stand in front of the mirror and say that you believe in yourself.
119
But if you live with somebody who is constantly pulling you down, somebody who is reminding you of why you're not good enough and why it won't work, at some point you're going to start to believe it.
120
That's the law of conformity.
121
If you hang out with nine recreational drug users, I've got news for you, you're most likely going to become the 10th.
122
If you hang out with nine positive people that look at life through the lens of how we can, not why we can't, that hold up a mirror for each other's greatness, to be midwives to each other's dreams instead of stealing them, you're likely going to become the 10th or you'll leave the environment.
123
It's the 95% law, the law of conformity.
124
So how do we change that?
125
Well, there's three tips that I want to share with you that'll help turn this around.
126
You know, I'm a pretty simple guy, so I want to give you some pretty simple tips
127
and I'm breaking into three things the first is stop putting the wrong things in you see as I said we are adaptation machines
128
our bodies our physical bodies adapt to our environment we don't get to choose that we only get to choose the environment we put them
129
in if it's the gym or McDonald's the body doesn't care its job is to adapt but it's the same with
130
our mind so stop putting the wrong programming in in other words if you think of the two biggest things
131
that impact us unconsciously more than anything else it's the mainstream media and our peer group of who we hang with let's touch
132
on the media for a second now for those of you that still think that the mainstream media is about reporting the news I've got news
133
for you you're in Disneyland see the job of the media is not to report the news you're kidding me the job of the mainstream
134
media is to stimulate another part of the brain called the amygdala which is designed evolutionarily to notice negative before positive so that they can hook your
135
attention out of the mass of the crowd and record you as a viewing statistic to justify rate cards and advertising the media is not a
136
charity so I haven't watched a news report or read a newspaper for pretty much 17 years now yeah for those of you that still watch things like music CNN
137
constant negative news I've got news for you right from what I understand it's all the same news
138
it's the same news it was 17 years ago it's just happening to different people and so you cannot watch the news and be
139
positive it's like saying I want to be healthy and I smoke just doesn't work you can go to the gym as many times as you want but if you're smoking you can't be healthy it's a binary equation and if you're being programmed by the mainstream media
140
You can't have that default magnetic north move away from being negative.
141
It's constant programming.
142
People say, well, how do you know what's going on in the world?
143
I'm like, you're kidding me?
144
Everything's going on in the world.
145
A far better question would be, what do you want to choose to focus on?
146
Think of the Amazon rainforest at night.
147
Everything's going on.
148
But the media want to take your little flashlight in your hand and point it and say, oh my goodness, look at this.
149
It's a snake eating a rat.
150
Versus you saying, yeah, but have a look at this hummingbird being born.
151
So it's a choice.
152
So I have no clue what's going on in the world.
153
I have every clue what's going on in my world.
154
And if something's important enough, it'll find me.
155
So stop programming yourself with why the world won't work and start taking charge of where you point your flashlight.
156
Now the other thing is about peer group.
157
Now some people say, yeah, I could probably change my friends and some of us maybe should, but I can't change my family.
158
Yeah, my brother's the most negative person I know.
159
My mother-in-law is always telling me I'm not good enough for her son or whatever it may be.
160
Well, I know that we can't change our family.
161
And looking at the reasons why you chose your parents is another TED talk.
162
But the best advice I can give is love your family, choose your friends.
163
Now the second thing, start putting the right things in.
164
Now we live in a time in society where there's so much great information, whether it's a podcast, whether it's inspirational interviews, whether it's books or the lives of some of the people we looked at earlier.
165
every single day or at least every single week.
166
If you want to take your compass needle and start remagnetizing it in a positive direction by exposing yourself to the kind of information that supports your potential and your greatness and where you want to go.
167
There's no excuse for not being able to do that now in a society where it's so available.
168
But if you're not choosing to do that, by default, you're going to be hooked into somebody else's agenda.
169
If you don't start filming as the star of the movie in your life, by default you're going to end up as a film extra in somebody else's
170
and then the third point get the things that shouldn't be in there out what do i mean by that you know
171
work with a decent mentor or a coach that understands how to navigate the minefield of human behavior somebody that isn't just going to teach you skills but somebody that can reach in and find those unconscious patterns and be able to rip them out for good.
172
I'll give you an example.
173
I had a client come to me a while back who said, oh, I want to learn time management.
174
Now, a normal coach or what have you would probably teach them some good time management skills.
175
But within two minutes, it was easy to see that time management wasn't the issue.
176
The real issue was his inability to deal with rejection.
177
And therefore, he was saying, yeah, he wasn't saying no to people because by saying no, it would trigger a rejection response.
178
and therefore he was saying yes to too many things and therefore there was too much on his calendar and therefore he thought he needed time management.
179
Do you get the idea?
180
You see, when we're able to start addressing things like our unconscious programming,
181
when we start to create the best habits that we can by programming ourselves consciously, when we start grabbing that compass needle and bringing it over to the right direction so that the 95% of the time we're sleeping awake, we're able to be who we need to be
182
that's when we can start to achieve the real game in town which is self-mastery see before you spend another penny on workshops or skills or anything work on yourself
183
see mastering the game of self throughout human history has been the number one recommendation of virtually everybody that achieved it and then preached the benefits of it to people that usually weren't listening but by mastering our sense of self
184
we're able to walk into a room where everything's descending into chaos and retain our center when everything's breaking down around us with the eye of the storm it's like move i'll handle it
185
see that's the best way that you'll be able to handle uncertainty and when we commit to self-mastery we give ourselves the
186
best shot of becoming the best and greatest versions of ourself that we can be and then we get to become the example and the invitation to others.
187
Not the imposition.
188
Nobody changes because you tell them to.
189
People change because they're inspired to change.
190
And we can only inspire them by being the example and the invitation.
191
And at that point, we have a chance of being able to really make a change in this world, make a difference, which is what the world needs right now.
192
And ultimately, be the embodiment of what Gandhi said, which was to be the change you wish to see in the world.
193
Thank you and God bless you.
194
Thank you.
195

Contesto e Sfondo
Nel video di Peter Sage, si affronta il tema dell'auto-sabotaggio e della procrastinazione, fenomeni che possono affliggere persino le persone più intelligenti e motivate. Sage evidenzia come l'accesso a risorse e opportunità non sia sempre sufficiente per garantire il successo individuale. Attraverso esempi di personaggi storici che hanno superato enormi difficoltà, l'autore invita gli spettatori a riflettere su come il nostro sistema nervoso sia programmato per cercare il comfort, mentre il vero potenziale si trova oltre la zona di comfort. Comprendere questo dinamismo è cruciale per superare le barriere mentali e promuovere una crescita personale autentica.
Top 5 Frasi per la Comunicazione Quotidiana
- “Non hai proprio bisogno di giocattoli.” - Rappresenta la negazione che può portare a sentimenti di inadeguatezza.
- “Non sei abbastanza bravo.” - Una frase che può influenzare negativamente l'autoefficacia di chi la riceve.
- “Dobbiamo affrontare le nostre preoccupazioni.” - Un invito ad affrontare le difficoltà quotidiane.
- “La vita non è facile per nessuno.” - Un promemoria sulla realtà condivisa delle sfide.
- “Cerca di rimanere nel tuo mondo da bambino.” - Un appello a mantenere la curiosità e l'immaginazione.
Guida Passo-Passo al Shadowing
Per migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese attraverso il metodo shadowing, segui questi passaggi con il video di Peter Sage:
- Ascolta attentamente. Inizia a guardare il video senza alcun testo. Concentrati sulla pronuncia e sull'intonazione di Sage.

- Fai attenzione alla tua articolazione. Concentrati sulla pronuncia chiara di ogni parola. Utilizza uno specchio per osservare la tua bocca mentre parli.
- Registra te stesso. Crea una registrazione della tua voce mentre ripeti le frasi. Ascolta il playback per identificare aree di miglioramento.
- Ripeti il processo. Ogni giorno dedica qualche minuto a praticare con il video. La costanza è fondamentale per affinare la tua shadow speech e superare la tua paura di parlare.
Utilizzando il metodo shadowspeaks e impegnandoti nella pratica quotidiana, vedrai progressi significativi nella tua capacità di comunicare in inglese.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
