Thank you, Jennifer. Thank you. Everybody for joining us here.

00:01:36.000 –> 00:01:42.000
Appreciate. You have me on your show Absolutely. Thank you, Andrew.

00:01:42.000 –> 00:01:52.000
I know that I mentioned that your life is a combination of all of these different pieces, and I didn’t get into some of the background.

00:01:52.000 –> 00:02:07.000
I know when you and I, spoke originally. When we scheduled this, podcast we went through some of the things that happened to you and your media kit has a whole bunch more in terms of what happened I just want to touch on

00:02:07.000 –> 00:02:19.000
your life being combination of the rocky story. if you can grow rich. the Celestine prophecy and more on steroids. Sure, Can you give us an idea what exactly that would even mean?

00:02:19.000 –> 00:02:24.000
I mean it’s just so interesting to think about that I appreciate that first.

00:02:24.000 –> 00:02:29.000
My name is Andrew Calderella called Derella is like Cinderella.

00:02:29.000 –> 00:02:34.000
I know it’s a little tough sometimes when you look at it so it’s called .

00:02:34.000 –> 00:02:36.000
Oh, no, worries, no worries. It happens all the time.

00:02:36.000 –> 00:02:42.000
It actually makes it easier for people to remember sometimes because now it’s like called Derella Cinderella i’m the Cinderella man.

00:02:42.000 –> 00:02:47.000
Some people say that whole phrase that’s in that introduction was written by some Pr.

00:02:47.000 –> 00:02:58.000
People. I was in this meeting, and the guys like learning about my life, he’s like, Wow, your life is like the rocky story, and the book is like that, you know, an updated thinking grow rich.

00:02:58.000 –> 00:03:05.000
And then he said, the secret and the secret because it’s like all this wisdom of the ages brought out so everybody can.

00:03:05.000 –> 00:03:11.000
You know, assimilate it really easily. and I had a problem with the secret, because I felt like the secret was not really a secret.

00:03:11.000 –> 00:03:16.000
It’s really just boils down to forming a proper and for affirmation, and being open to abundance.

00:03:16.000 –> 00:03:19.000
That’s the secret So there’s a lot more to the way than that.

00:03:19.000 –> 00:03:24.000
So I that’s why they change it to the celestine prophecy, which is more of a spiritual journey.

00:03:24.000 –> 00:03:28.000
So the idea of the rocky story is, you know, I was born.

00:03:28.000 –> 00:03:32.000
Thank you. mentioned, I believe, with learning disability. So I dyslexia.

00:03:32.000 –> 00:03:42.000
The learning disabilities also had a lazy eye which meant I was seeing 2,200 vision out of that eye, so they could put a patch over my good eye to make me look out of that bad eye.

00:03:42.000 –> 00:03:46.000
I don’t know if you imagine a kid walking around with a patch over.

00:03:46.000 –> 00:03:50.000
Zy got these huge books they couldn’t read couldn’t do math couldn’t catch a ball to save my life.

00:03:50.000 –> 00:03:58.000
I was bully relentlessly, you know, called stupid. All the time I had to go to these learning disabled groups to help.

00:03:58.000 –> 00:04:07.000
We learn things. the teachers got into it, teacher, ridiculing me in front of the whole class, telling me how stupid I was, and I should just drop out of school.

00:04:07.000 –> 00:04:11.000
This is like in fourth grade. needless to say that was really really challenging.

00:04:11.000 –> 00:04:19.000
So that’s like the rocky story. and I overcame that just you know, I did graduate obviously from elementary school, went on to high school, became a school leader.

00:04:19.000 –> 00:04:27.000
I’ve always been an athlete. I went on to college about degrees and speech communications. theology and philosophy start.

00:04:27.000 –> 00:04:31.000
A lot of companies had a lot of different jobs and so I think that’s the idea of overcoming.

00:04:31.000 –> 00:04:35.000
So it’s the rocky story i’ve also been a fighter for so many fights.

00:04:35.000 –> 00:04:40.000
You can’t even imagine kill people accidentally and say people’s lives have been stabbed.

00:04:40.000 –> 00:04:49.000
I. I think the other part of the the way and the thinking grow rich, and I think it grow rich.

00:04:49.000 –> 00:04:59.000
Was, you know, really a story for how super rich people got all their money, whereas the way is how all people become the best people we can be and fix our society.

00:04:59.000 –> 00:05:02.000
So it’s kind of an updated thinker grow rich I don’t know if that kind of answers your question.

00:05:02.000 –> 00:05:07.000
But I think it’s it’s all related to my life story, and I appreciate your saying it’s really interesting.

00:05:07.000 –> 00:05:14.000
I it’s been tough to live honest honestly

00:05:14.000 –> 00:05:26.000
It definitely when you’re looking at your license I mean Sometimes we all look at what it is that we’re dealing with, and it’s like how in the world did I get here?

00:05:26.000 –> 00:05:31.000
How in the world did I? managed to get through so many things like you?

00:05:31.000 –> 00:05:36.000
My childhood. I was bullied, you know, many, many times.

00:05:36.000 –> 00:05:43.000
I think that many kids you’re either the bully you’re being bullied There’s not a lot of in the middle.

00:05:43.000 –> 00:05:53.000
In terms of where kids are and sometimes it’s just having a name having no athletic ability.

00:05:53.000 –> 00:05:57.000
Hello! and all of those other things it just sends, you know.

00:05:57.000 –> 00:06:05.000
Seems to come up in that regard. And so looking at your life, and the story is really incredible.

00:06:05.000 –> 00:06:11.000
And I like how you really got that combination in terms of really thinking.

00:06:11.000 –> 00:06:15.000
Well, what is it that makes Andrew who Andrew was?

00:06:15.000 –> 00:06:25.000
And then that obviously, then, had a hand in you Then saying, All right, let me look at what’s going on the world. and I’m.

00:06:25.000 –> 00:06:30.000
Now going to say, this is what allows me then to come up with the way. Yeah.

00:06:30.000 –> 00:06:40.000
Well, actually, I think the way stems way back since 2, when I when I was a kid, I had a great internal life.

00:06:40.000 –> 00:06:43.000
I was very spiritual. close to God had a lot of spiritual experiences.

00:06:43.000 –> 00:06:51.000
So while I was going through all this stuff, I also later in school, I was tested out, and I had these learning disabilities.

00:06:51.000 –> 00:06:58.000
They did, you know analysis of my brain and all sorts of things, and they found out I was also gifted and a genius and abstract thinking.

00:06:58.000 –> 00:07:07.000
And all these other areas and so I think sometimes when we look at people, we try to put everybody in a cookie cutter approach where we’re not like that.

00:07:07.000 –> 00:07:14.000
Most of a lot of the leaders that we’ve ever had in human history, and a lot of our innovators have what we call learning disabilities.

00:07:14.000 –> 00:07:19.000
It’s really just differences in learning and differences in ways we think so.

00:07:19.000 –> 00:07:30.000
While I might not be able to memorize massive formulas, I can find errors in a lot of data, or put certain things together that other people can’t necessarily.

00:07:30.000 –> 00:07:41.000
So i’m not saying that to to ingrandize myself i’m saying that to say that we’re all different, and that’s what makes humanity beautiful in the sense that together in our diversity.

00:07:41.000 –> 00:07:57.000
Is how we actually solve all the problems and create a better world it’s not us all being the same that makes the world a great place. it’s it’s our differences that makes it a great place it absolutely does and I mean I like how

00:07:57.000 –> 00:08:09.000
You’ve got that and then you also have the one which is another way of looking at things, and it’s kind of really interesting to think I mean first when I hear the one and I know it’s completely separate.

00:08:09.000 –> 00:08:19.000
But when I hear the one I hear or I first start, I comes to my actually is What was that great cling on being?

00:08:19.000 –> 00:08:26.000
I think it was the one that controls everything I can’t remember what that was.

00:08:26.000 –> 00:08:42.000
But what that character’s name was but the idea though is we’re really one species right at the end of the day, and we’re going, or we hope to be going in the right direction I know that i’m segwing from the way to the one and

00:08:42.000 –> 00:08:53.000
the tribe and everything that you’ve got in terms of all the different things, and I apologize for jumping around might be my adHD on steroids right Now, you know in terms of what i’m personally dealing

00:08:53.000 –> 00:09:09.000
with you know, and probably because the day that i’ve been having. But as we look, though at where you’ve been, I mean the way itself, I mean you break it down into a couple of different pieces right I mean you break it down

00:09:09.000 –> 00:09:15.000
into how to be physically fit, mentally, emotionally, spurually, financially, etc.

00:09:15.000 –> 00:09:32.000
In that regard in the book. And it really is important, because that also then really helps us as we look at the one, and being part of the greater human species being the best in what we can be doing.

00:09:32.000 –> 00:09:38.000
So can you tell us what it means to really they’ll be at our best in those areas.

00:09:38.000 –> 00:09:51.000
And how can tie in Sure, Absolutely as I found out and i’m sure as you know, when most people out there know if any major part of your life falls apart right it can ruin you and it doesn’t matter what it

00:09:51.000 –> 00:09:54.000
is your relationships, your health, your finances, whatever it may be.

00:09:54.000 –> 00:10:07.000
We need to keep this all up to par or better right if we’re really going to be our best and what I found is after 30 years of research. And you know, reading thousands of books and all these other media and researching this is that

00:10:07.000 –> 00:10:13.000
hits like. we find all these little golden threads right on all these different places, and all of us have some of them.

00:10:13.000 –> 00:10:16.000
But we’re all missing some and this creates a lot of confusion.

00:10:16.000 –> 00:10:23.000
It creates a lot of, you know, unhealthy people, a lot of confused people, and all the rest of the problems we see in our society.

00:10:23.000 –> 00:10:34.000
So really, if we’re going to be the best people, we can be, we all need to integrate a wide variety of vital information into our lives as quickly as possible, that covers all these different areas, right, and then we also need to

00:10:34.000 –> 00:10:38.000
join together in the right way to make the changes in our society.

00:10:38.000 –> 00:10:43.000
And this were the way and the one come in. So the way is the idea is where we get all this information.

00:10:43.000 –> 00:10:47.000
The one is the one tribe, the one movement and one party.

00:10:47.000 –> 00:10:51.000
So the one tribe is where we can then all group together.

00:10:51.000 –> 00:10:56.000
I have videos coming out. we’re gonna have events all sorts of stuff coming down the road for the one tribe.

00:10:56.000 –> 00:11:02.000
So this is where we can make friends, make money, have fun, learn and do all this as people like, you said, with one species.

00:11:02.000 –> 00:11:08.000
And then the one movement is where we as good people, can all join together to get some really big things done.

00:11:08.000 –> 00:11:14.000
And this is really important because i’ve traveled the world. I talked to people everywhere, and we all want the same things right.

00:11:14.000 –> 00:11:17.000
We want to be healthy and happy, and have great relationships.

00:11:17.000 –> 00:11:22.000
And all these personal stuff. But we also want a thriving world and ecosystem.

00:11:22.000 –> 00:11:28.000
We want good companies that aren’t destroying us and underpaying us and all the rest, and the same thing with our governments.

00:11:28.000 –> 00:11:32.000
We want them to work Well, this is everybody in the entire world I know that’s a generalization.

00:11:32.000 –> 00:11:39.000
But i’ve tried to go this through this a little quickly but the idea is that there’s so many good people in the world that we all want these good things.

00:11:39.000 –> 00:11:46.000
There’s literally billions of us so why is it that a few 100 people in a few 100 companies get to decide and destroy everything for everybody.

00:11:46.000 –> 00:11:58.000
It’s because there’s so many good people but we’re so siloed we’re so segregated we’re so divided that we are so diluted in our efforts that we get nothing done and I say this respectfully

00:11:58.000 –> 00:12:02.000
because it’s our hearts are in the right place but it’s It’s not doing what we needed to do.

00:12:02.000 –> 00:12:15.000
And just look at the how many environmental groups there are in the world, how many billions have been placed there, how many people fighting for civil rights, just the basic human decency to be treated as equals all over the world there are literally thousands of

00:12:15.000 –> 00:12:25.000
these organizations, and their efforts are you know okay. we’ve come some some distance on some things, but really the world still being destroyed, people aren’t being treated as equals.

00:12:25.000 –> 00:12:31.000
And it’s been this way for thousands of years so what we need is an organization that we can join within.

00:12:31.000 –> 00:12:37.000
And you don’t have to stop your group. you just join your group and your people into this bigger organization.

00:12:37.000 –> 00:12:45.000
Imagine a 1 billion people together, a lot of them donating money, a lot of them that are going to meetings or clicking on petitions of one not.

00:12:45.000 –> 00:12:49.000
We could literally, like, make a deal with the Brazilian Government and the farmers.

00:12:49.000 –> 00:12:52.000
Anybody else to buy and protect the rainforest. the Congo.

00:12:52.000 –> 00:13:00.000
We can establish an international standard of equal rights for everybody in the way that we should be treated by law enforcement and all the rest.

00:13:00.000 –> 00:13:03.000
I mean there’s so many big things we can do with that amount of people in power.

00:13:03.000 –> 00:13:08.000
Does that all make sense this phone so far? it absolutely does.

00:13:08.000 –> 00:13:17.000
Thank you. I just want to say one more thing about the the the one party. So the idea of the one party is just the next level is that we all have to codify these things in the law.

00:13:17.000 –> 00:13:22.000
We can’t just march and be like yeah we need to actually make a difference.

00:13:22.000 –> 00:13:26.000
So the one party is about creating a party that makes government work properly.

00:13:26.000 –> 00:13:32.000
If you look at parties usually they’re very they’re more like special interest groups, you can almost look at the names like the green party.

00:13:32.000 –> 00:13:47.000
The labor party you know whatever means. maybe it’s like that’s all. their focus is what we need is a party that’s at the core, based on making government all the things that it does work really Well, efficiently get rid of

00:13:47.000 –> 00:13:53.000
the waste, and all the rest of it and make good deals with business to and school systems, and all the rest of really make things work.

00:13:53.000 –> 00:14:02.000
And so what i’m talking about is creating a party that’s based on making government work for everybody and dealing with these fringesters for sure.

00:14:02.000 –> 00:14:09.000
But what I also found is that most political parties they’re based in virtues like financial responsibility.

00:14:09.000 –> 00:14:16.000
You know the green movement, whatever it’s protecting our environment these are all virtues, and we need a party that integrates all the virtues.

00:14:16.000 –> 00:14:21.000
Not just a few by literally all of them, to help humanity become our best.

00:14:21.000 –> 00:14:29.000
You know what I mean. Our government needs to reflect us and it’s got to reflect all the good that we are does all make sense.

00:14:29.000 –> 00:14:46.000
Yes, and I know again when you and I were talking we did talk about the one party, and how it really can make a huge benefit in many different ways again, because you’re not dealing with the partisanship of this side side right

00:14:46.000 –> 00:14:55.000
for less liberal, Conservative, whatever. everything is really what is going to move the needle for the human race and making it better.

00:14:55.000 –> 00:15:15.000
It’s not just a special interest and it’s really incredible to be thinking about how we can be doing that to really be making that difference. I wanna take a slight turn for a moment, though and I want to focus on how away and the

00:15:15.000 –> 00:15:23.000
one can be really having that connection to what it would be.

00:15:23.000 –> 00:15:26.000
When we look at the meaning of life, right, I mean, we know the meaning of life.

00:15:26.000 –> 00:15:37.000
And if you ask hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy, the answer is 42 and you know that’s a whole other story.

00:15:37.000 –> 00:15:40.000
But if we were to ask you, Andrew, what is the meaning of life?

00:15:40.000 –> 00:15:55.000
I mean we know it’s theologically and philosophically and you’re certainly fit to answer in many of those areas with your theology background and all of the years that you’ve been looking at this, but i’m curious if you can give

00:15:55.000 –> 00:16:02.000
us an idea in your mind. What is the meaning of life sure that’s a really great question.

00:16:02.000 –> 00:16:11.000
It’s actually covered in the way and just everybody knows I have this: it’s not out yet, but it’s a I don’t know when your show’s gonna come out. so it may be but it’s the life

00:16:11.000 –> 00:16:16.000
essentials master class, and the very first lesson is what is the meaning of life.

00:16:16.000 –> 00:16:20.000
Okay, i’m gonna do this quickly. so the class I think is like 30, 40 min.

00:16:20.000 –> 00:16:26.000
So i’m gonna do a quick I think you and your audience will get this pretty good if the answer is 42.

00:16:26.000 –> 00:16:33.000
No. just You just said that. No. When we look at the meaning of life we we have to understand the rules to life.

00:16:33.000 –> 00:16:46.000
We talk about the rules for life you ever seen the child’s game of life. That board game you ever played that my son, was that team? Okay, So if you know it comes in a box, it’s got rules it’s got a board you

00:16:46.000 –> 00:16:50.000
play on. You have pieces that you move along this board, and sometimes random things happen to you.

00:16:50.000 –> 00:16:54.000
Sometimes you choose your path, and then it determines your fate right.

00:16:54.000 –> 00:16:59.000
If you win our loose, so it’s really this idea of the rules of life, translate to our world.

00:16:59.000 –> 00:17:08.000
We call these the human conditions. Now there are big human conditions, like the universal things like gravity, day and night.

00:17:08.000 –> 00:17:11.000
The fact that we are in a universe. You know, entropy.

00:17:11.000 –> 00:17:23.000
All these really, really big things, and then there are human centric rules which have to do with us in our bodies, like the fact that we’re born, you know, totally helpless and dependent and ignorant, and then we grow throughout

00:17:23.000 –> 00:17:33.000
our lives. So we need all these different fuels to feed us to the fact that we do die, and all these other things that you know are based on our humanity.

00:17:33.000 –> 00:17:48.000
So if you have these universals and the human centric conditions together and you analyze them and really boil down to 3 things which is self-creation, self control and societal to societal development.

00:17:48.000 –> 00:17:55.000
So basically it’s about you by creating yourself and our society, meaning you’re you’re born in a world.

00:17:55.000 –> 00:17:59.000
You’re not left onto yourself in the void somewhere so I call that this society.

00:17:59.000 –> 00:18:04.000
So really it’s self-control if you look for the meaning of life.

00:18:04.000 –> 00:18:14.000
Then, if you literally have to create yourself from a little baby and you have to control this process, if you’re really going to become the best person, you’re going to be right you need to have a world, a society, a a network, a family

00:18:14.000 –> 00:18:18.000
of friends, of work, and everything else that really helps you become the best person you can be.

00:18:18.000 –> 00:18:21.000
So this is where we find the meaning of life, the meaning of life.

00:18:21.000 –> 00:18:26.000
It could be said in a few different ways. but it’s like you have to find a meeting in your life.

00:18:26.000 –> 00:18:36.000
You have to create the meaning in your life. So the question is, And what I ask in this master class is: Well, then, how do we actually create this meaningful life?

00:18:36.000 –> 00:18:40.000
What actually makes up. You know, when we talk to people what makes up a meaningful life?

00:18:40.000 –> 00:18:44.000
And how do you get it like literally like? What are the lists?

00:18:44.000 –> 00:18:49.000
What are the steps, and how do you do it and that’s what the rest of the class goes through.

00:18:49.000 –> 00:18:53.000
So the next lesson in the master class is what is the true goal of life.

00:18:53.000 –> 00:18:57.000
And that’s what I phrase it like so we can all discover all the different goals that we need to have.

00:18:57.000 –> 00:19:02.000
If we’re really gonna really make this meaningful life does that make sense?

00:19:02.000 –> 00:19:14.000
And do a great way completely. Yes, and thank you. And, by the way, I just remembered it was the board the Board Collective, I think, is the Star Trek race.

00:19:14.000 –> 00:19:31.000
That everything goes to that hive. to the higher Anyway, where we go from here I mean there’s

00:19:31.000 –> 00:19:39.000
I think that when you are listening to this definitely, see if that master class is available.

00:19:39.000 –> 00:19:45.000
Yet. and we’ll certainly tell you exactly how you can find out more.

00:19:45.000 –> 00:19:51.000
I will just quickly say 7 way, dot me but we’re not going to go there just yet.

00:19:51.000 –> 00:20:07.000
But what I want to go back to, though Andrew is, I want to go back to the 7 set 7 steps of the way, and so I know the first step is to know right, and we kind of covered a little bit of a little bit of

00:20:07.000 –> 00:20:21.000
this I want to kind of go through these steps because it’s really important to map it out, and I think our listeners would appreciate having that direction is really understanding where we’re going.

00:20:21.000 –> 00:20:27.000
So if we do step one, and knowing, can I actually step back further than that?

00:20:27.000 –> 00:20:33.000
Because I I always find that it people need to understand some bigger points before we get down to the nitty gritty.

00:20:33.000 –> 00:20:42.000
That’s kind of why I wrote the book the way it was and I think that’s why I actually changed the way I did the master class just a little bit. because it does seem like we all as a human race to get on the same page right

00:20:42.000 –> 00:20:48.000
we’re gonna fix our world and become our best we need to understand the goals like what is the overall goal?

00:20:48.000 –> 00:20:52.000
Why am I here? What is what is it i’m supposed to be doing every day right?

00:20:52.000 –> 00:20:57.000
And then we understand the way I can break that down, and then we get into the 7 steps.

00:20:57.000 –> 00:21:03.000
So to do a quick little master class, and please forgive me, everybody.

00:21:03.000 –> 00:21:09.000
I want you to know that there is so much more detailed and when I say that’s why it took me 30 years to write a book.

00:21:09.000 –> 00:21:19.000
So so don’t take if if you’re hearing this you’re like Oh, that seems easy. there’s little money, much more details for you to know if you’re really going to master this and really become the best so please check out

00:21:19.000 –> 00:21:22.000
the book and the classes. and everything else it’s on the website like she said.

00:21:22.000 –> 00:21:35.000
So just to quickly do the success versus true success and I’ve done this few times Now pretty successfully very very quickly. and then i’ll do a quick outline of what the basic format of the solution we’re all after if that

00:21:35.000 –> 00:21:39.000
makes sense. Jennifer can go with that. Okay, So we did.

00:21:39.000 –> 00:21:43.000
Now you understand the meaning of life. Right is to make your life meaningful.

00:21:43.000 –> 00:21:47.000
So then we get into okay, what is the true goal of life and what are what are all these goals I need to have?

00:21:47.000 –> 00:21:54.000
If i’m gonna live this meaningful life and if we analyze human race, we, we kind of get down to the idea of success, right?

00:21:54.000 –> 00:21:59.000
People want to be successful in life as the goal. What does success really mean?

00:21:59.000 –> 00:22:16.000
Now, if you analyze human race and we talk about success, we usually link this with wealth, power, and fame, sometimes with beauty, intelligence, and even holiness, like if you’re high up in the Church, So this idea of wealth, power, and frame

00:22:16.000 –> 00:22:23.000
if you actually study the lives of all of these people throughout, history, i’m talking, the kings and queens the mobles of industry, everything else, as you can imagine.

00:22:23.000 –> 00:22:28.000
And you look at their lives. How are they doing I think this is obvious? right?

00:22:28.000 –> 00:22:35.000
It doesn’t all automatically mean just because you get a lot of money or famous that all your relationships automatically work out. You’re automatically healthy.

00:22:35.000 –> 00:22:38.000
You know what to do with all your money you know you’re happy and all the rest.

00:22:38.000 –> 00:22:43.000
I’ve dealt with enough ceos and wealthy people to know that it’s it’s a challenge.

00:22:43.000 –> 00:22:51.000
Okay, it’s really, if you get famous, especially overnight get a lot of money, you know, really really smart.

00:22:51.000 –> 00:22:58.000
It’s a challenge to be able to integrate in the world property and not get lost to and corrupt it right, because we just look throughout human history.

00:22:58.000 –> 00:23:10.000
How many kings have we seen stuff their palace and build more and more of them, whether people are suffering how many leaders lie to the people try to manipulate us into doing what they want us to do even though it’s

00:23:10.000 –> 00:23:22.000
not good for us or it’s even the truth right so this idea, just because you’re successful. wealth power and fame doesn’t really mean that you’re a good person or have everything that you want does that make sense so far very

00:23:22.000 –> 00:23:33.000
much. Okay, So then, we ask, well, what is True, success so what’s the difference between success and true success simply put true success is what a loving parent or mother would want for their child.

00:23:33.000 –> 00:23:37.000
Right, and this will we all want. We want to be healthy, happy.

00:23:37.000 –> 00:23:49.000
I have great relationships have something that we’re really passionate about that. we love ideally, that we doing that to support ourselves right, and not only just to survive, but to really thrive in life, and have all those other pieces that we all

00:23:49.000 –> 00:23:55.000
want right that’s what everybody wants on this planet every human being So that’s what tr success is.

00:23:55.000 –> 00:24:01.000
So then the next question becomes okay. So we know the the meaning of life is to make our life meaningful.

00:24:01.000 –> 00:24:07.000
We know that all the goals are pretty complicated, like to be healthy and happy and successful, have great relationships.

00:24:07.000 –> 00:24:10.000
And all this. Now we need to know exactly how to do this.

00:24:10.000 –> 00:24:13.000
And then the next part of the way is where I define the way.

00:24:13.000 –> 00:24:27.000
And I do this in 4 words. and this these 4 words. really the you can probably argue the you know which word to use on each one of these a little bit, but they really boil down to what I’ve discovered that all

00:24:27.000 –> 00:24:34.000
philosophy, all religion, pretty much the human race is looking for in a solution. Right?

00:24:34.000 –> 00:24:40.000
We want to live it. We can’t go away for 20 years somewhere, and try to become something.

00:24:40.000 –> 00:24:43.000
Come back to our lives. You know what I mean. Just be right now.

00:24:43.000 –> 00:24:51.000
Livable. so I call it living rational. I use the word rational to mean it needs to be reasonable.

00:24:51.000 –> 00:24:53.000
These be logical, it needs to be customizable to fit your life.

00:24:53.000 –> 00:24:57.000
It needs to be holistic to cover every part of your life.

00:24:57.000 –> 00:25:05.000
Otherwise missing piece that you have may breaking so it’s living rational, positive, and the positive meaning it’s good.

00:25:05.000 –> 00:25:19.000
It’s about integrating this good to your life and the highest good that human beings you know that we admire the most that the traits that we’re looking for in ourselves, and others that we want to become are called

00:25:19.000 –> 00:25:25.000
virtues. And this is really important, because there are a lot of different virtues like being healthy and happy.

00:25:25.000 –> 00:25:28.000
Dedicated discipline and all the rest of the good traits.

00:25:28.000 –> 00:25:33.000
You can imagine that you want to instill in your kids and yourself and all the rest of it that you admire and others right.

00:25:33.000 –> 00:25:47.000
So this idea of living, rational, positive action. So the action part of the virtue is that for every virtue there may be a bunch of different actions that you need to take, and the best actions to take are what we call best practices So the idea

00:25:47.000 –> 00:25:51.000
is to integrate virtues and best practices into your life.

00:25:51.000 –> 00:25:58.000
For example, the virtue of being punctual requires you to leave on time, and set reminders.

00:25:58.000 –> 00:26:10.000
The virtue of being healthy has a lot of best practices associated with, like the having great sleeping habits, eating habits, you know, working out, and all the rest right You’ve got to integrate all these different best

00:26:10.000 –> 00:26:16.000
practices into your life, and the key to the way is to know is that we develop habits in about 90 days.

00:26:16.000 –> 00:26:26.000
So the way works in 90 day cycles so as you read the way you’re going to create this daily way for yourself on how you’re going to integrate these virtues that you’re missing into your life so you

00:26:26.000 –> 00:26:36.000
might not be able to do them all at once. but every 90 day cycle, as you’re working on integrating these best practices into your life, you become a better and better person.

00:26:36.000 –> 00:26:43.000
So that’s the whole idea of the meaning of life success versus true success.

00:26:43.000 –> 00:26:46.000
And then the 4 ideas of the way living, rational, positive action.

00:26:46.000 –> 00:26:50.000
And then the 7 steps literally walk you through. How to do all that give you all the rest of information.

00:26:50.000 –> 00:27:03.000
Does that make sense? It does, and thank you. And I just wanted to take a step back on the success piece and for those of you that know me.

00:27:03.000 –> 00:27:06.000
You know that my keynote address? Exc Excuse me.

00:27:06.000 –> 00:27:17.000
You know that my keynote address is to success equate to happiness, and we know that at each point in life successes based on where we are.

00:27:17.000 –> 00:27:27.000
Do we want to see what we’re doing next are we always going to feel happy on the success that we’ve experienced.

00:27:27.000 –> 00:27:33.000
And so it goes a lot to what you are saying in terms of all of these different pieces.

00:27:33.000 –> 00:27:38.000
And of course the true success like you’re saying a parent would want for their child.

00:27:38.000 –> 00:27:42.000
For them to be happy for them to have the relationships and all of those things like you mentioned.

00:27:42.000 –> 00:27:55.000
And it’s really incredible when you think about that and I mean it was just really amazing when I was going through my research for my keynote. Talk with people.

00:27:55.000 –> 00:28:03.000
Success means, like you, said the vacations, the cars, the houses, the status, whatever it may be.

00:28:03.000 –> 00:28:12.000
But it was always, though. what happens tomorrow right am I really happy just because I’ve achieved whatever I may have achieved.

00:28:12.000 –> 00:28:23.000
And so looking at like what you were saying with those 4 ideas of living being rational, the positive in the action really kind of helps to further those pieces.

00:28:23.000 –> 00:28:36.000
How does all that make a difference? How does that start to really shift your very being and make you think about things a little more strategically, a little more thoughtfully?

00:28:36.000 –> 00:28:43.000
And how do you start making a bigger impact to all of humanity?

00:28:43.000 –> 00:28:47.000
And it’s not just right I made a 1 million dollars this year yet.

00:28:47.000 –> 00:28:51.000
Yay, yay, you know, congratulations I can plant myself on the shoulder and everything, and move on.

00:28:51.000 –> 00:28:56.000
But it’s really what are you doing now that’s going to make that difference.

00:28:56.000 –> 00:29:06.000
And so that’s really incredible How you look at all of those different pieces, and continue moving forward in that direction.

00:29:06.000 –> 00:29:17.000
So moving forward then and talking about the way, now that we start looking at the way and the 7 steps that are involved.

00:29:17.000 –> 00:29:24.000
So again, the first one being to know, What does that mean?

00:29:24.000 –> 00:29:29.000
The first 3 steps actually work together. so it’s to know want and choose.

00:29:29.000 –> 00:29:34.000
And again I I cover this in the book, and quite detailed.

00:29:34.000 –> 00:29:39.000
But to just do it really quickly. let’s just add the word good onto the end of these 3 words.

00:29:39.000 –> 00:29:42.000
So it’s I know the good I want the good and I choose the good.

00:29:42.000 –> 00:29:50.000
The idea here is that as the human race as we grow right and the human race in general, i’m not talking about every little kid in every instance.

00:29:50.000 –> 00:29:55.000
I’m talking about a general We know the difference between right and wrong, and good and bad, right you know.

00:29:55.000 –> 00:30:00.000
What good means right that’s what the first here the first idea is.

00:30:00.000 –> 00:30:09.000
And again I wanna start with something that everybody can walk through and understand right before we get into the minor details or the major details.

00:30:09.000 –> 00:30:17.000
We need to get on the same page and walk this together so i’m, hoping that all of humanity most of us 99.9% know what good is.

00:30:17.000 –> 00:30:25.000
And again I define what good means in the way Just you know we talk about the way, and I go through living rational virtues and a rational, positive action.

00:30:25.000 –> 00:30:32.000
Talk about virtues, the virtues roll down to what it means to be a good person, and what the good is for humanity, because it has it.

00:30:32.000 –> 00:30:45.000
Those words encompass pretty much everything you can imagine like being loyal, indigenous, or diligent, and, you know, helpful and kind, and all the rest of the good trace that we want. so the idea of being good.

00:30:45.000 –> 00:30:55.000
That you know what the good is that’s the first one I know the good, and it should be obviously that you would want this right? obviously, that you want the good for yourself and your kids in the world right who doesn’t want that so I know the

00:30:55.000 –> 00:30:59.000
good. I want the good and you’re gonna choose it this third step here is really important.

00:30:59.000 –> 00:31:02.000
You can’t just want something you need to reach out and take it.

00:31:02.000 –> 00:31:11.000
So this idea of making a deep choice, a real choice a living choice in your, in your mind, in your life that’s going to change you.

00:31:11.000 –> 00:31:18.000
This has to be something that you really really want, and what you understand what it means to be the best person you can be.

00:31:18.000 –> 00:31:21.000
You should obviously want to be the best person you could be right it’s like That’s the whole idea. right.

00:31:21.000 –> 00:31:28.000
That’s the whole idea of living in a way is to try to make yourself into the best person you can possibly be.

00:31:28.000 –> 00:31:36.000
So I want the good I choose the good i’m sorry. So I know the good I want the good and I choose the good.

00:31:36.000 –> 00:31:38.000
So those are the first 3 steps and again i’m simplifying them hopefully.

00:31:38.000 –> 00:31:41.000
It makes sense, but you can get into them a little more deeply now.

00:31:41.000 –> 00:31:45.000
The fourth step is center right? So you’re gonna send to yourself in the good.

00:31:45.000 –> 00:31:55.000
Now, what does that mean? This is a really huge understanding that I believe the whole human race needs to know if we’re ever going to make it.

00:31:55.000 –> 00:32:02.000
And this is the idea of our core belief system, this moral code, this you can call like an operating system of a computer, whatever it may be.

00:32:02.000 –> 00:32:10.000
This, this core lens that you view the world out of, determines your fate in this world.

00:32:10.000 –> 00:32:12.000
It determines a lot of if you’re going to make it or you know.

00:32:12.000 –> 00:32:16.000
Be a good person or not, and what I have found is there are 10.

00:32:16.000 –> 00:32:23.000
I call on the 10 laws to live by that if we embrace these, if we would really change the entire world.

00:32:23.000 –> 00:32:28.000
And again. each one of these laws is deep I mean it goes into many, many chapters in the book.

00:32:28.000 –> 00:32:35.000
But I’m going to do them really quickly and the first 2 should be fairly obvious from what I said before.

00:32:35.000 –> 00:32:45.000
So. the primary purpose of i’m sorry let me say like this: the primary purpose of life is to be your true self.

00:32:45.000 –> 00:32:54.000
Live your true life and go to heaven for believers that 2 purpose of society is to become the true society, and I understand I outline what that means.

00:32:54.000 –> 00:32:59.000
And I talk about all different systems working together, and harmony, and trying to help us and all that.

00:32:59.000 –> 00:33:08.000
So this idea of you becoming the best person you can be, living your ultimate life, creating a better world and going to the altered place to should see pre obvious.

00:33:08.000 –> 00:33:14.000
That would be the ultimate goals right like becoming your ultimate self living your ultimate life, creating the you know ultimate society and all that.

00:33:14.000 –> 00:33:20.000
So that’s kind of like the ultimate goal and that sets the focus that sets kind of like the guide mark of what we’re trying to achieve.

00:33:20.000 –> 00:33:29.000
Now the next 3 laws I call the universal laws. These could actually change the entire world if we embrace them and live them, and really understood them.

00:33:29.000 –> 00:33:44.000
The first one is respect, life. and this really boils down to caring for our world in a way that is respectful in the sense that it provides our water, our clean air, our food, and everything else.

00:33:44.000 –> 00:33:48.000
And if we just care for nature properly, it will give us everything else we want.

00:33:48.000 –> 00:33:53.000
The next one is all people are equal we talk about equality.

00:33:53.000 –> 00:34:01.000
We don’t mean that everybody has the same skill sets and can do everything equally, or that all traditions and everything else is equal.

00:34:01.000 –> 00:34:05.000
No, we’re talking about is all of us are humans right there. we’re all.

00:34:05.000 –> 00:34:10.000
And this is this is a really important point because people try to talk about different races you mentioned earlier.

00:34:10.000 –> 00:34:17.000
There’s only one human race. Okay, it’s humanity one species. Okay, that is not the problem.

00:34:17.000 –> 00:34:25.000
The problem is that some of us are learning bad ways of doing things right, like prejudice, discrimination, hate, and everything else from one more really, really young.

00:34:25.000 –> 00:34:36.000
So this idea of all people are equal, is about equality under the law, and the way we treat people with common decency and respect and humane treatments, and all the rest.

00:34:36.000 –> 00:34:40.000
Right, it should be seeming fairly obvious, and then the next one is

00:34:40.000 –> 00:34:48.000
Shows up in every really, every spirituality throughout the world is the Golden Rule, which is the tree People, as you want to be treated right, which should make sense.

00:34:48.000 –> 00:34:51.000
If we this is the goes back to the bully things.

00:34:51.000 –> 00:34:58.000
If we teach our children to feel the empathy in the sympathy for somebody to how would you feel if that was done to you, and all the rest of that?

00:34:58.000 –> 00:35:00.000
We would eliminate most of the problems in the world.

00:35:00.000 –> 00:35:03.000
Now again, these 3, if you want to understand them all I know I did it really fast.

00:35:03.000 –> 00:35:16.000
There’s a lot more in the book but respecting life caring for our world just treating everybody as equals, and as you would want to be treated, Can you see how just those 3 alone if they were you know embraced by

00:35:16.000 –> 00:35:23.000
everybody reflected in our business, and our governments how we could help solve most of the problems that we’re facing absolutely.

00:35:23.000 –> 00:35:29.000
And that’s really important. When you think about it I mean the whole idea of humanity.

00:35:29.000 –> 00:35:40.000
And I think for a lot of people. the idea of good is really, though leaving our planet in a better position.

00:35:40.000 –> 00:35:57.000
Then we found it goes to what you were saying in terms of Okay, appreciating life and understanding life and doing good to others just like you, Aren’t done to yourself, etc., etc.

00:35:57.000 –> 00:36:11.000
And when you look at what it is that we’re really trying to do, there are some people who you know they say dog eat dog world, and it’s unfortunate that that’s the world that they see themselves.

00:36:11.000 –> 00:36:20.000
Living in there’s also those that say bp kind on the way up, because you’re going to be meeting those people on the way down, and it shouldn’t be that idea.

00:36:20.000 –> 00:36:34.000
Well, what happens if I do fall? it should just be like you’re saying, always just appreciating people one of the things that I’ve spoken about many, many times, is the idea, even if you’re in the supermarket or

00:36:34.000 –> 00:36:45.000
you’re in a hotel and you see the person who is sweeping the floors, or the housekeeping maintenance team to most people. They’re invisible.

00:36:45.000 –> 00:36:49.000
Right I mean you walk straight by them as if they don’t even exist.

00:36:49.000 –> 00:36:54.000
The people returning the shopping cards to the area where the shopping carts are held.

00:36:54.000 –> 00:36:59.000
You just alright that’s their job I don’t have to say anything I can just ignore them.

00:36:59.000 –> 00:37:02.000
And then there’s the ones that go out of their way to say thank you.

00:37:02.000 –> 00:37:11.000
Have a nice day. just even a friendly smile and i’m not getting into the mask thing, because that’s a whole other story, and you know.

00:37:11.000 –> 00:37:19.000
But certainly, if i’m outside and I see the guy pushing a course back, my mask is off at that point, and I say, thank you so much.

00:37:19.000 –> 00:37:32.000
To these people you never know when that’s going to mean the difference between having one of their best days, or having just another one of those really lousy days.

00:37:32.000 –> 00:37:38.000
And so respecting people like you, were saying, Andrew is really important.

00:37:38.000 –> 00:37:45.000
How do we really show that? you know one of the other things I’ve been teaching my kids and I do this all the time.

00:37:45.000 –> 00:37:58.000
My kids know already, and they’ve been certainly doing this Also, you see a veteran, especially someone who’s wearing one of those hats that say, you know, Vietnam back Korean.

00:37:58.000 –> 00:38:08.000
Vet whatever it is, You know or they’re in uniform right now you go over and simply say thank you so much for your service in Judaism.

00:38:08.000 –> 00:38:20.000
There’s an idea of hakaratoes recognizing the good, and it really becomes important to look at what it means to really recognize the good right?

00:38:20.000 –> 00:38:26.000
It’s not just enough to say I see it but you’re really saying Thank you.

00:38:26.000 –> 00:38:35.000
One of the other things, and I know in Christianity. you certainly say thank you for the day in Judaism You say the same thing.

00:38:35.000 –> 00:38:48.000
It’s it’s telling God you know thank you for waking me up and bringing me back, giving me another day and things along those lines because of this idea, and we don’t want to get theologically or religious in terms of what it is that

00:38:48.000 –> 00:38:58.000
we’re trying to discuss here that’s for a completely different topic, just in terms of really giving that really good in terms of where we are.

00:38:58.000 –> 00:39:03.000
If we wake up, and we understand that that is our purpose.

00:39:03.000 –> 00:39:14.000
Everything else kind of starts going in, and it really becomes How can I be the agent of good today, even if it’s just that simple small, Thank you.

00:39:14.000 –> 00:39:18.000
Have a nice day, I mean. Think about the cashier at the supermarket.

00:39:18.000 –> 00:39:25.000
Again. someone who we really don’t pay any attention to one of the things that I personally try and do.

00:39:25.000 –> 00:39:32.000
I try and learn their name. So even if they’re not wearing their name Tag, and I see them walking by in the store.

00:39:32.000 –> 00:39:48.000
I can say, Hey, Bernie how are you and it makes the world of difference to them, because they’re no longer just a faithless, nameless person who just scanned your stuff and you go and whatever they’re now a

00:39:48.000 –> 00:40:03.000
person, and it doesn’t matter how big how little you are you can be doing this, and it’s really important that you Focus even if it’s just one thing that you do a day right and i’m going on your one

00:40:03.000 –> 00:40:13.000
thing. What can you do to make someone feel better right I think you would completely agree on that? Absolutely.

00:40:13.000 –> 00:40:17.000
I mean that’s being nice to one another you know I would have been kind to one another.

00:40:17.000 –> 00:40:28.000
Love one another. that idea that thread that we’re all one human race, and we should treat each other with respect is kind of translates back to core values again.

00:40:28.000 –> 00:40:42.000
It’s like this If you’re really human you know I mean you. you really embrace what humanity is, and all that is not ignore feelings like a lot of men are taught to do I think the problem is that

00:40:42.000 –> 00:40:54.000
we’re not integrated, fully as humanity like we’re we’re denying parts of ourselves to the point where it’s detrimental, and I think a lot of this comes back to freud and the way he

00:40:54.000 –> 00:41:06.000
divided our minds. you know the the super ego and all these things like you’re you’re some you know free, fragmented being who can’t figure his life out and needs therapy, you you know but I I wish

00:41:06.000 –> 00:41:16.000
Floyd would have met. people in the East. I have degrees in Western and Eastern philosophy, because the whole idea of becoming one, you know, integration of your full self.

00:41:16.000 –> 00:41:22.000
You know, becoming your true self. This idea is so fundamental to what we’re after as humans.

00:41:22.000 –> 00:41:35.000
You know, I mean we all feel everybody, i’ve ever talked to feels like there’s this there’s this emerging person in them that if they just had the right whatever that it could come out and they could be this this person that they really

00:41:35.000 –> 00:41:40.000
knew that they could be. You know that they really wanted to be but they don’t know how to do it.

00:41:40.000 –> 00:41:56.000
And when I go through training people and helping people you, you, you coach successful people, too, and 99% of the time when I coach people, it always comes down to internal problems with the way that there are viewing others or

00:41:56.000 –> 00:42:01.000
the world. it’s very rarely that that the problem is exterior.

00:42:01.000 –> 00:42:14.000
I don’t know if that makes sense like we’re talking about your business a lot of times there are business problems, but a lot of times it stems from the CEO not understanding certain aspects of marketing, or finance, or truck

00:42:14.000 –> 00:42:21.000
delivery. But if you just were to go down to the truck drivers and talk to them about what their problem is, he would go.

00:42:21.000 –> 00:42:29.000
Oh, we have way too much time. loading these trucks in this yard, because they’re sitting there waiting. You know what I mean, and it’s costing us a lot of money.

00:42:29.000 –> 00:42:34.000
So, whatever it may be what i’m saying is it’s about all of us learning how to be the best people we can be.

00:42:34.000 –> 00:42:45.000
But it’s also very confusing. and that’s where i’m trying to say is like we don’t need to know everything to become the best people we can be but we do need to really understand some things and the rest of the

00:42:45.000 –> 00:42:51.000
pieces will fall in the place once you understand these key pieces so you know if we’re going to create a better world.

00:42:51.000 –> 00:43:03.000
You were talking about like this idea. of you said so many good things. it’s like I my mind’s going a 100 miles an hour right now, trying to answer them all and I I think for me.

00:43:03.000 –> 00:43:14.000
There’s this great hope for humanity but there’s also this great fear and sadness, and I talked a lot of people.

00:43:14.000 –> 00:43:21.000
I feel this, too, like there’s a great anxiety in the world right now, you know, like like nobody has any control, you know.

00:43:21.000 –> 00:43:27.000
A lot of us See, the pollution is destroying the world and cutting down literally the lungs of the world.

00:43:27.000 –> 00:43:32.000
As we speak, you know. and then we see people just hating on one another.

00:43:32.000 –> 00:43:36.000
The Democrats are evil. The Republicans are evil everybody’s evil we must hate them.

00:43:36.000 –> 00:43:38.000
We must hate them, we must fight them, we must destroy them.

00:43:38.000 –> 00:43:44.000
We must obliterate our enemies, you know. Where is the piece?

00:43:44.000 –> 00:43:48.000
The talk of. We need to stop all this hate. Our leaders are out of control.

00:43:48.000 –> 00:43:54.000
With all of this division and hatred and war, and you know these are the solutions.

00:43:54.000 –> 00:43:57.000
If those are the solutions you’re leaders are coming up with they’re not leaders.

00:43:57.000 –> 00:44:03.000
Okay, the true solutions of this world bring people together and show us the way of peace, Right?

00:44:03.000 –> 00:44:10.000
You’re never gonna create a world of beauty and wonder and and you know peace through violence.

00:44:10.000 –> 00:44:15.000
It’s just gonna create more horror and death and hatred So I know I just went off on a few different tangents there.

00:44:15.000 –> 00:44:26.000
But you just got me thinking about so many things that I think it’s like if we’re gonna fix this world for me, It’s like we all got to get on the same page on some of these basic fundamental things we need to join

00:44:26.000 –> 00:44:30.000
together very quickly, and use our power to make these changes happen.

00:44:30.000 –> 00:44:37.000
And I keep talking about this with people and they all agree with me. That Seems like every day things get more and more spun out.

00:44:37.000 –> 00:44:48.000
That’s just this. it’s I don’t know to me. it’s really like it motivates me, but it also is very depressing in the sense that I think we all want things to go faster we just got to keep our

00:44:48.000 –> 00:44:56.000
optimism and keep working at it, and never, ever give up on the on the aspects of peace and uniting people, not on fighting people.

00:44:56.000 –> 00:45:07.000
Does that make sense? No, Just an awful lot of and It’s really a great way to look at what it is that we try and do again.

00:45:07.000 –> 00:45:17.000
It goes to what we mentioned a few moments ago. that really the goal of life is to leave the world in a better place, Right?

00:45:17.000 –> 00:45:29.000
If we can see we’re making a difference and again, some people have means we’re making a difference is a certain way that they can do it.

00:45:29.000 –> 00:45:37.000
Other people don’t have the means where they can really make as big of a difference.

00:45:37.000 –> 00:45:49.000
They can make same difference. it’s just got to interrupt you right there, because I believe that it’s the it’s the many that has the most power you know.

00:45:49.000 –> 00:45:53.000
Certainly we can add in the opers of the world to the group right, and they have massive power.

00:45:53.000 –> 00:46:01.000
But imagine this one person with a 1 billion dollars is not as powerful as a 1 billion people giving $1.

00:46:01.000 –> 00:46:06.000
Okay. So I know we all feel helpless. I feel powerless.

00:46:06.000 –> 00:46:15.000
I you know I people talk about. Oh, you’re so successful I have no power compared to these people that are doing this stuff and no way to even get my my message out there.

00:46:15.000 –> 00:46:21.000
I’ve been, you know censored in china and all these other countries. They won’t even take my book they cancelled my shows.

00:46:21.000 –> 00:46:25.000
There, I you know. I try to get on these social on some of these media shows, and they want division people on there.

00:46:25.000 –> 00:46:31.000
They don’t want somebody talking peace and unity so for me it’s like what’s frustrating is.

00:46:31.000 –> 00:46:40.000
It’s seems like the world is is situated so that the evil and the wrong and the hatred. and the division can win right.

00:46:40.000 –> 00:46:43.000
Who in the right mind would destroy the lungs of the world.

00:46:43.000 –> 00:46:48.000
These literally like our couple rainforests in the world They’re huge, and they provide the world’s oxygen.

00:46:48.000 –> 00:46:52.000
They clean you know what I mean like who in the right mind we go. Yeah, let’s let’s cut all that down.

00:46:52.000 –> 00:46:57.000
Let’s let’s destroy it you know nobody but we’re doing it right now.

00:46:57.000 –> 00:47:03.000
You know what i’m saying? who who wants children to be murdered, and a war, you know what I mean for no reason. Nobody, nobody wants.

00:47:03.000 –> 00:47:13.000
This it’s only some psychos at the top to decide No, Let’s go cut down on the trees and kill all the people in these cities, and take over the world for what reason are you doing this. It’s like they’re so lost and

00:47:13.000 –> 00:47:21.000
That’s why I made about becoming corrupt and what I know. i’m getting a little excited. but one of the things I see all the time is that we study human history.

00:47:21.000 –> 00:47:26.000
Few i’m say very very few ever do evil thinking it’s equal.

00:47:26.000 –> 00:47:31.000
Okay literally. the greatest evils in the world are done by people thinking they’re doing good, right?

00:47:31.000 –> 00:47:42.000
It’s like the Crusades. who can rationalize I Talk to Christians all the time. who can rationalize this right like like somebody’s there saying, Okay, let’s go down to Christ Homeland Let’s kill as many

00:47:42.000 –> 00:47:46.000
people as we can but steal all their stuff and take their land.

00:47:46.000 –> 00:47:52.000
It literally says: in the 10 Commandments, Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal yet millions like countries and countries of people.

00:47:52.000 –> 00:48:02.000
The religion that is representing the king of peace decided to go down there for hundreds of years and kill and rape and murder and steal all their stuff.

00:48:02.000 –> 00:48:05.000
So what i’m saying to you is people like I don’t care what side you’re on.

00:48:05.000 –> 00:48:06.000
I hear this from Republicans. I hear this from Democrats.

00:48:06.000 –> 00:48:17.000
I hear this from Christians and jewish people and hindi people, and whoever like, if you’re feeling like you’re so righteous and so good, and all these other people evil, and they deserve to be have all these horrible

00:48:17.000 –> 00:48:25.000
things happen to them and treated like dirt you’re the one who has fallen to the dark side thinking that you’re doing good when you’re actually doing evil.

00:48:25.000 –> 00:48:33.000
Okay, you cannot do evil. Why cheat, steel, manipulate, kill, murder, rape, all these rest of these things.

00:48:33.000 –> 00:48:38.000
In the name of God. Okay, it doesn’t work that way we as the Abrahamic religions.

00:48:38.000 –> 00:48:54.000
You know Christianity. Judaism and islam we’re all supposedly representing this one, all creator being, and that’s the God I went and found and has influenced me my whole life.

00:48:54.000 –> 00:49:01.000
And if we can’t see the flaws at our religion then we are flawed, You know what I mean it’s like we are all flawed.

00:49:01.000 –> 00:49:05.000
It’s reflected in everything that we have everything that We do it’s reflected in all our institutions.

00:49:05.000 –> 00:49:12.000
It’s the nobility of humanity is noticing these flaws and working to compensate for them.

00:49:12.000 –> 00:49:20.000
That’s the only thing that makes us worthy of even consideration, because otherwise we would just be giving into evil. and just being like, Yeah, that’s okay.

00:49:20.000 –> 00:49:24.000
But we’re not right. We always try to fight it we’re always trying to check some balances.

00:49:24.000 –> 00:49:31.000
We got to figure out a way, but then there’s always these evil people right, that are out there like trying to destroy the world like putin right, he said.

00:49:31.000 –> 00:49:38.000
He’s literally thinking he’s doing something good like in his head. I’m sure he’s like Oh, i’m helping my Russian people out, and these people are evil I must destroy them.

00:49:38.000 –> 00:49:44.000
But he’s deluded himself right we all know that in that we see this play out.

00:49:44.000 –> 00:49:46.000
I mean i’ve read so much history it’s almost sickening you know what I mean.

00:49:46.000 –> 00:50:00.000
It’s like this story of horror of man thinking They’re better than everybody, and then wanting to some reason, kill and destroy the way it doesn’t agree with them has been placed out in the East and the West throughout all the thousands of years

00:50:00.000 –> 00:50:09.000
of our history, and if we’re gonna really evolve and save our world, we, as humanity, have to realize that it’s gotta stop right.

00:50:09.000 –> 00:50:12.000
We have to embrace the good side of ourselves, and not the bad side.

00:50:12.000 –> 00:50:19.000
This is what needs to be reflected on our society and the good have got to take control before the evil people destroy everything.

00:50:19.000 –> 00:50:24.000
This isn’t like the past with alexander the great took him 100 years, whatever 50 years, to go through 5 countries.

00:50:24.000 –> 00:50:27.000
This is, I press a button, and everybody dies time.

00:50:27.000 –> 00:50:38.000
So we as humanity can’t just keep playing these games anymore, and letting these cycles run the world. we’ve got to take control when I say we you know the meek the good people need to stand up and be

00:50:38.000 –> 00:50:41.000
you know the voice of reason. I I could keep going.

00:50:41.000 –> 00:50:51.000
But hopefully, that makes sense. It doesn’t I mean the whole idea is you don’t want to be Machiavellian, and saying the ends justify the means.

00:50:51.000 –> 00:51:01.000
I mean that whole idea is what you’re saying is the quick way to going down the wrong path, and so it’s really important.

00:51:01.000 –> 00:51:17.000
Let us anywhere has it We, we, through all of human history, and see that path where leads it leads to help absolutely So I want to go back and do the last 3 of the steps the be the unite and the

00:51:17.000 –> 00:51:25.000
perfect. Yeah, i’m gonna i’ll line them quickly I will go into them deeply. and then if you have questions, cause I know we’re probably pushing the limits.

00:51:25.000 –> 00:51:30.000
Okay, So step 5. So we did, you know. I know the way or I.

00:51:30.000 –> 00:51:33.000
I know the good I want, the good I choose the good and I center in the good.

00:51:33.000 –> 00:51:41.000
This is about your core belief system. these 10 laws and then the next one is is B.

00:51:41.000 –> 00:51:54.000
So you know It’s like b the good and in this step is where we get down to controlling time and rituals and understanding the art of life, and how they affect the foundations of life.

00:51:54.000 –> 00:51:59.000
And then we talk about the daily way. I know i’m going to mix this up a little bit.

00:51:59.000 –> 00:52:05.000
Let me explain What I just said. A little bit more so the idea of a daily way is, if you’re really gonna become the best person you could be.

00:52:05.000 –> 00:52:13.000
You need a plant and there’s a lot of key points that you need to integrate during their day, and depending on where you are and what you’re trying to do.

00:52:13.000 –> 00:52:17.000
Everybody’s a little different you need to customize this plant I call it a daily way.

00:52:17.000 –> 00:52:25.000
So you literally are gonna outline from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, and how your day is generally gonna go, and you could have more than one of these.

00:52:25.000 –> 00:52:28.000
You can have a one that you make that’s like this is my ideal day.

00:52:28.000 –> 00:52:31.000
But this is the day I can live right now and again there’s a lot to this.

00:52:31.000 –> 00:52:37.000
I know i’m just giving you a quick overview but the idea is that you need to control time.

00:52:37.000 –> 00:52:46.000
Rituals have to do with, you know, like sound and smells and different things you do that can make any activity more beneficial.

00:52:46.000 –> 00:52:54.000
So controlling time controlling ritual the art of life. I don’t have time to get in the art of life, but the idea of the art of life is like like you could be hum drum.

00:52:54.000 –> 00:53:02.000
Like you could see a building that’s just square box you know, Gray, and what you know very unappealing, or you can see this wonderful work of art.

00:53:02.000 –> 00:53:14.000
You are like that you can literally make yourself into this wonderful work of art as a human being, so understanding those principles and applying them to the foundations of life like sleep and your life tasks.

00:53:14.000 –> 00:53:23.000
The fuels that you, you know, consume your daily care, Routines all these different aspects that we all are forced to do can be perfected like literally.

00:53:23.000 –> 00:53:29.000
There are, you know, best practices are started with sleep. going to the bathroom.

00:53:29.000 –> 00:53:32.000
You name it. If you integrate all of those it could help you become a better person.

00:53:32.000 –> 00:53:44.000
So the ideas in Step 5 is to create this daily way that helps you integrate these virtues into your life, and we go through each of these different foundations in detail.

00:53:44.000 –> 00:53:46.000
Just so people know the way is broken up into 3 books.

00:53:46.000 –> 00:53:50.000
Okay. So the first book covers all 7 steps of the way.

00:53:50.000 –> 00:53:56.000
The second book is called The Life Manual and it goes into the details which i’m talking about right now, which are the foundations of life.

00:53:56.000 –> 00:53:59.000
Cause it is way too much to put in one book.

00:53:59.000 –> 00:54:12.000
And the third book is the Child and Family Guide, that has information about how to raise your kids and all that kind of good stuff, but also how to integrate the principles that you learned within the way and the life manual in into your kids

00:54:12.000 –> 00:54:22.000
you know. help ingrain these best practices from when they’re born, instead of having to learn them. and let me just say that that’s really the key point to all of this is like like when you’re 40

00:54:22.000 –> 00:54:26.000
you’re gonna learn things from me and in this that you’re gonna be like. Wow!

00:54:26.000 –> 00:54:30.000
I wish I knew that was a kid. What the cool thing is that we can literally teach our kids these things.

00:54:30.000 –> 00:54:37.000
So. their first habits, their first emotional way of being and a mental way of being, is based on all these best practices.

00:54:37.000 –> 00:54:47.000
So they don’t Have to relearn them later. So the whole idea of Step 5 is that integration of creating our daily way. So step 6 unite like you mentioned this is a big step, too.

00:54:47.000 –> 00:55:00.000
This is about how we can. unite as people this is where we relate to the one party, the one tribe, and the one movement in the sense that you know. if you’re gonna step out in the world, you you know want to

00:55:00.000 –> 00:55:12.000
communicate really. Well, you want to maybe not be addicted to certain drugs You wouldn’t have good like, I said communication standards, and all these you want to put your best foot forward is what I was trying to say out in the world

00:55:12.000 –> 00:55:15.000
but then you also want to unite with people, but to unite with people in the right way.

00:55:15.000 –> 00:55:28.000
We have to understand how society is, made. like the systems of society government, wealth, power, how these systems work right, how they’re supposed to work, and what the problems are and That’s what that’s what I outline in step 6 and let

00:55:28.000 –> 00:55:33.000
me just say this because I know We don’t have a lot of time to go too detailed into step 6.

00:55:33.000 –> 00:55:36.000
But all the people out there that are seeing the problems in the world.

00:55:36.000 –> 00:55:41.000
Okay, you see these problems in government problems and business problems all over the place.

00:55:41.000 –> 00:55:52.000
This is a great thing, because if we understand the problems we can fix them, we couldn’t before the second thing is if we’re ever going to fix these, we cannot keep burning down breaking and destroying everything, and then trying to recreate

00:55:52.000 –> 00:55:55.000
it. you haven’t studied enough history if you think That’s gonna work.

00:55:55.000 –> 00:56:02.000
It’ll never work. All that will happen is the next super powerful people will come in and take control after you destroy the current structure.

00:56:02.000 –> 00:56:08.000
The only way to fix this is to fix the systems. The systems are not evil. We need government.

00:56:08.000 –> 00:56:12.000
We need business. We need all the water systems and everything else, but we need them to work well.

00:56:12.000 –> 00:56:21.000
So the idea in the way is to show us how they are supposed to work, and how we can all join together and fix them, and then step 7 is perfect.

00:56:21.000 –> 00:56:27.000
And I talk about this in 3 different ways, really, but 2 sides of perfect, as in you know.

00:56:27.000 –> 00:56:32.000
Something is perfect now, and something that needs to be perfected. Right?

00:56:32.000 –> 00:56:35.000
So the idea of something that’s perfect in our world there’s nothing perfect in this world, nothing is gonna stay perfect.

00:56:35.000 –> 00:56:47.000
If you don’t maintain, it, right, that’s first thing, no thing is, you know, to really embrace perfection is to embrace imperfection, because, like I said, we live in an entropic universe which means things

00:56:47.000 –> 00:56:55.000
are falling to decay. We are like the anti entropy beings here trying to create order out of chaos.

00:56:55.000 –> 00:57:01.000
So the idea of understanding perfection is to like I said if something is good you need to maintain it.

00:57:01.000 –> 00:57:10.000
I don’t care what it is a relationship a painting whatever, and then there’s always sometimes, though, when you think something is perfect, or you achieve a goal that there’s always that next level.

00:57:10.000 –> 00:57:24.000
There’s always that that more refinement that can be made and that’s also the idea of the 7 step is perfection, and that’s how the way becomes kind of a circular program to where you always go back you

00:57:24.000 –> 00:57:30.000
can always learn more and perfect yourself. you know I mean no matter how far you’ve come There’s always farther to go.

00:57:30.000 –> 00:57:33.000
That gives a kind of a quick outline of those 3 steps.

00:57:33.000 –> 00:57:54.000
Hopefully. it makes sense. it doesn’t thank you and I think that for our listeners is really helpful to really have that way of thinking, because now, as we’re all taking it in, and we can think a little more strategically.

00:57:54.000 –> 00:58:03.000
In terms of how we’re trying to live our life? what it means to really be here on this planet like you were just saying the last step.

00:58:03.000 –> 00:58:08.000
Is it perfect now, or does it need to be perfected?

00:58:08.000 –> 00:58:12.000
Our bodies as our temples, is also in the same idea. right?

00:58:12.000 –> 00:58:16.000
Are we perfect as we are, or do we need to be perfected?

00:58:16.000 –> 00:58:36.000
If we believe that we’re never really perfect that we’re always striving to improve upon what it is that we’re really trying to do it allows us to become more angelic, if you will in terms of really trying to do more

00:58:36.000 –> 00:58:43.000
good and understanding how all of these different pieces so know the good wanting to go, choose, and the good with the good.

00:58:43.000 –> 00:58:59.000
Be the Good unite as people, and perfecting where we are, it really becomes that much more important in terms of what it

00:58:59.000 –> 00:59:05.000
He just froze this is that we’re really trying to do and can you hear me?

00:59:05.000 –> 00:59:07.000
Yeah, no, you’re back now, but you just froze again.

00:59:07.000 –> 00:59:14.000
Gotta love technology. Okay, and I apologize.

00:59:14.000 –> 00:59:32.000
If i’m going to repeat some of what I was just saying, but in terms of where we are again, having that ability to really see where we go right, and using those steps, that knowing the good one let me go choosing a

00:59:32.000 –> 00:59:40.000
good centering on people and perfecting us as people is really going to allow us to really make that difference.

00:59:40.000 –> 00:59:57.000
It’s gonna allow us to really start coming together. more as one, and what we can really be doing to really start having that connection, Andrew, as we look at wrapping up our conversation.

00:59:57.000 –> 01:00:04.000
I want to ask you. How can people find out more about you sure that’s a that’s a great question.

01:00:04.000 –> 01:00:08.000
Yeah, I don’t want this to be the end this is just the beginning.

01:00:08.000 –> 01:00:11.000
So I want you to all do realize first of all i’m just starting this out.

01:00:11.000 –> 01:00:16.000
So nothing is perfect, you know I need to maintain things that are good, but also i’m looking to refine everything.

01:00:16.000 –> 01:00:23.000
So. and it’s not about me. Okay, this is literally about the way humanity can become our best and we can create a better world.

01:00:23.000 –> 01:00:26.000
So the best place is the Hub for everything i’ve named 7 way.

01:00:26.000 –> 01:00:31.000
Me that’s a website it’s the number 7 w A.

01:00:31.000 –> 01:00:37.000
Y. dot M. E. and on the website you can find everything about the way and the one you can find out where to buy it.

01:00:37.000 –> 01:00:41.000
You can learn about it, you can join the life essentials, master class.

01:00:41.000 –> 01:00:45.000
That will be up shortly which will teach you like we’ll go over.

01:00:45.000 –> 01:00:56.000
It’s free, too. Just so you know it’s it’s gonna go over the meeting of life the true goal of life outline the 7 steps of the way, and everything and you’ll find all the shows i’ve been on

01:00:56.000 –> 01:01:02.000
all the social media join the one movement the one tribe in the one party. You know it’s all there on the website.

01:01:02.000 –> 01:01:11.000
7 way me, and let me just say this it’s like I go on these shows, and I talk with people and people, you know Dme, and such after the shows.

01:01:11.000 –> 01:01:24.000
And it’s all positive feedback i’ve had literally I’ve had people question me like there’s this can’t be right, just you know. but once they read it or they get into it they come back to me and say that, it is and all I say to you is

01:01:24.000 –> 01:01:31.000
Look, if this is real, Don’t be so jaded by what has happened, we can do something new.

01:01:31.000 –> 01:01:39.000
The way has not been seen before. We need a container for these ideas, these golden threads, the universal truths.

01:01:39.000 –> 01:01:42.000
And we need an organization to then join within to make these things happen.

01:01:42.000 –> 01:01:56.000
So if you see this truth join, me, because if you don’t then it’s like we, as good people all lose because that’s how the good is going to lose If we do not you and make these steps the evil people that are

01:01:56.000 –> 01:02:01.000
lost again. I I think everybody’s redeemable We need to help them, you know. Come back from the edge. You know what I mean.

01:02:01.000 –> 01:02:08.000
We turn the the wrongness into the right we can only do that if there’s enough of us sharing the truth with others.

01:02:08.000 –> 01:02:12.000
You know what I mean. i’m believing this it can’t just be a voice out in the wilderness.

01:02:12.000 –> 01:02:17.000
So please join me, Please help me do this this isn’t about me, and I certainly don’t know everything.

01:02:17.000 –> 01:02:26.000
I just know a few things, and that’s what I know is that we need to join together to make this happen. Well,

01:02:26.000 –> 01:02:43.000
This really incredible, And again, go to 7 way. dot me It’s going to be in the description and the notes on the show as well, where you can find everything at a everything out about Andrew find out more about the books the master

01:02:43.000 –> 01:02:49.000
classes like Andrew is saying that you really have more of an idea in terms of what you’re doing.

01:02:49.000 –> 01:03:00.000
And you really want to be thinking, What can I do? starting today to really be making that difference right?

01:03:00.000 –> 01:03:09.000
Like we said a couple of times how is what you’re doing going to impact you, but not just you the people around you.

01:03:09.000 –> 01:03:28.000
What is it that you’re doing that is really going to be telling people that you are now a person that they should be following instead of somebody that they should be turning away from a lot of what we do has to do with how we put

01:03:28.000 –> 01:03:39.000
ourselves out there in the world, Andrew husband, really talking nothing up his sleeve, and he wears his hurt on his sleeve.

01:03:39.000 –> 01:03:58.000
You know that That’s where Andrew was coming from when you hear the passion and the ideas, and everything that Andrew is saying in terms of what it is that Andrew is trying to make a difference in this world is incompetent upon all of

01:03:58.000 –> 01:04:05.000
us that we think, What is it that we can be doing to really be doing something somewhere?

01:04:05.000 –> 01:04:17.000
And it doesn’t have to be on the same grand scale Andrew said, The power is in the masses right when all of us can get together, and we can unite as one.

01:04:17.000 –> 01:04:26.000
We have an incredible amount of power that we can then be causing a change.

01:04:26.000 –> 01:04:33.000
There’s some people who can do it on their own like Andrew mentioned Oprah and Bill gates and people like that.

01:04:33.000 –> 01:04:39.000
They’ve got power to move the needle on their own simply by saying something.

01:04:39.000 –> 01:04:46.000
Most of us. We don’t have that ability to be just putting something out there, and everything change.

01:04:46.000 –> 01:05:04.000
But there is a power as we look at now we act, the people that we connect with the people, that we rise up and help them become just like us, and go in the direction of good.

01:05:04.000 –> 01:05:08.000
And seeing where we can be going. The more that we can see.

01:05:08.000 –> 01:05:15.000
This is what we really are meant to be doing and again. that goes back to the meaning of life.

01:05:15.000 –> 01:05:20.000
And again like we said it’s not 42 it’s really all.

01:05:20.000 –> 01:05:35.000
What is it that we can do to be making a change and it doesn’t matter if it’s in business or life, is really what are we doing that is going to make our world?

01:05:35.000 –> 01:05:39.000
And ultimately the universe, because eventually, you know we’re going to be on other planets.

01:05:39.000 –> 01:05:49.000
So it’s not just enough for earth to be better to really be having this start making a difference.

01:05:49.000 –> 01:06:10.000
The more that you can commit to making that difference the more you know you’re going to be following in the direction of good and coming together because many, many, many people want to be doing good on that note.

01:06:10.000 –> 01:06:13.000
Thank you so much, Andrew, for being my guest again.

01:06:13.000 –> 01:06:33.000
Thank you again. 7 way.me. And this has been another episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business and until next time, here’s to your success.
