hat is true about your life right now? Are you willing to acknowledge and accept what’s true? Without first accepting that what’s true is true right now, you can’t know what you have to do to make things better. Once you know where you stand, it’s easier to make an effective and realistic plan for improvement. Joel Wade will discuss the importance of self-acceptance, some of the ways that people can actually change, and strategies for making long-term improvements in your life.

I really needed this. Thank you
this is a very good teaching, Thank you
Beautiful talk. Thank you Mr. Wade. I love the pace. You are obviously a happy guy who is an emotionally mature man, and many can learn from you (if they allow and dial themselves down a few). People need to calm down in society. Everyone who is complaining about speed is so angry — a sign to calm down. Peace, Love & Harmony Within.
He has some very good insight but I took Marcus Polk's advice and gave him a hit of speed.
i think there are nuggets of gold in the presentation, particularly the methodology of reconstructing memories to be positive. And also not rewarding the trait but the effort itself (the old A for Effort, B for Result testing/reporting). in the Q&A when the guy said "I don't let success in. I am successful." I was surprised Joel didn't point out the obvious contradiction of the statement itself. How can you say have not let success in and then define yourself as being successful? Perhaps this guys issue was the gap between expectation and actual (feelings and celebration of success).
Interesting that some people want to be more successful but they can't handle being bored. What a shame. Here's an honest tip: Click the little gear button on the bottom right of the player. Click speed and then click 1.5 or 2. I do this even when people are speaking at a fairly quick pace. Try it.
Oh, and an Excellent speaker…Not once did I catch the verbal crutch of "um…"
I've studied a lot of this stuff, and he is EXCELLENT.
He does talk slowly, but I appreciated it so much. I was able to take notes. I think he shared valuable information. Favorite: Anticipate the possible derailments and think about how you will work through them, step by step. Then when you are faced with a detour or derailment, it takes less energy from you because you already have a plan.
7mins 44seconds in. shut the fuck up dickhead.
he looks like the happiest guy on the face of this very planet.
Listened for the first 8 minutes. 'Seemed like hours. Id rather listen to paint dry to be honest.
Ignore what anyone else says, I enjoyed the speech, Great job man!!
Not good. Bad speech.

Excellent lecture. It's personally relevant because I just had a life-altering experience while reading Atlas Shrugged for the first time. Most of my life, I've been a procrastinator and honestly lazy, but I'm working hard to change that, and it's working.
