[9.59] Why is personal development so important?

• Personal development is something that whatever you’re in the world, is something you can work on.
• If we’re able to work on ourselves then we’ll be able to take that & really implant it in everything we do.
• I’ve always interested in being motivated & being inspired
• When you slow down & you see life being the same as it always has
• There was time in my life when I went to YouTube & watched inspirational videos
• I’d feel great & amazing things but then…
• It wore off like nothing really changed

[15.24] Self Reflection

• The work you need to put on yourself is really lots of reflection & being honest with yourself
• Most people just fall to exterior of what’s happening
• Let’s not try to win this experience
• What are the one or two things we can take from this experience so the next time it happens we could be a little better?
• If you’re never going back & looking at the information
• You’re never going to be able to get better
• Most people are not being honest with themselves
• Our emotions are something we can have more control
• We only react the way that we were taught, or think is appropriate to act

[21.33] Pattern Interruptus

• Jim Rohn teaches that more important than what you in life is who you become in life
• What you get can come & go
• Who we become never really changes, if we are authentic?
• Tony Robbins proves to people that you can have more control over your emotions
• We are trained by ourselves to give people that we love a hug and feel certain way
• If I hug a stranger wouldn’t be the same as I hug my spouse
• We should do journaling & reviewing your journal could be even more powerful
• You start to learn who you really are in a slow pace

[33.14] Building Confidence

• Confidence is something I struggled with a lot in my younger age
• Outside people would look at me & they would say, “Oh Ben, you’re extremely confident
• I really got obsessed with the idea of confidence
• Most people want to be confident when they step into a certain situation
• However, they must reframe what that really means
• Because what they’re really looking for is to be courageous in that moment
• Client Story about how to be courageous [39.02] to [41.34]
• SISTER: Small incremental steps transform everything remarkably

[44.49] Living a meaningful life in distinguish of living a fulfilling life

• There are parents/teachers that are doing extremely meaningful work
• But they are not feeling that fulfillment
• There are two ideas:
• 1. Find out what’s meaningful to each one of us
• 2.  Being present with the things that you’re doing
• If you take those two ideas and combine them together then life is going to be incredible
