You Were Born to Win But Programmed to Fail

You Were Born to Win But Programmed to Fail

‍

Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. We have a lot of stuff to cover this week. I'm super excited to be here with you. I had a great weekend. I just got back from a trip in Dallas. Out to Dallas, Texas Frisco actually, and we were able to launch a brand new health product out there.

It was amazing. I'll have to fill you in on it a little bit later in the week. Huge success. We sold over 5,000 units in less than four hours, and there were so many principles involved with that product. The product launch, the marketing, the branding. So I want to cover that with you on our business day on Thursday.

But I really want to just talk to you about a key idea that I came back with. I had a lot of ideas I came back with, but one in particular today. But just to give you a play by play. This week when I was out there in Dallas, I met with several really high-end players. We're talking about, I met with a health and nutrition company that's been around for 12 years.

They do over $50 million. They're completely debt free. I met with a multi multimillionaire mentor trainer, a businessman named Jared Burnett. And we'll be having an interview with him coming up soon. He just released a new book. You're gonna be blown away. We actually went to his book release at another gentleman's house.

This guy his name's Tony Leary. He's actually an author of, I think it's 50 books, and he's a coach to the top CEOs in the world. We have an interview coming with him as well, but we did this launch party for his book and I captured a couple of ideas. In fact, I. It was later on, I think it might've been on Saturday.

I went to one of his events where they packed the Toyota Stadium in Frisco. And I've taken a lot of notes when I've been mentored and, like anyone else, I want to be, I wanna learn and I wanna grow, but there was a thought that got thrown out that I just grasped.

Key Idea: Born to Win, Programmed to Lose

And I wanted to talk to you about it today because.

I've shared a lot of thoughts over time and I've heard a lot of things over time, but there was one particular comment in particular that it just really impacted me and I thought it would you as well. I. Jared had made a comment and I'm not sure where it came from, but it was one that I feel like I've only heard for the first time, even though it's absolutely true, and I think it's gonna ring true for you.

And here's the statement. He said, you were born to win, but you're being programmed to lose. Think about that for a second. You were born to win. You've heard me say that many times. You have greatness inside of you. You were born to win, but you're being programmed to lose. And it's working against you.

I want you to think about that because I, one of my goals is to make sure that and you believe, and you understand that you were born to win and you have what it takes and you know that you can grow and evolve and overcome any situation. I. And I think many people would also agree with the idea that your environment is programming, you lose, it's even become more apparent to people nowadays, but I want you to really think about that.

How much time do you spend thinking about the fact that even though you were born to win, you are being tethered, you've been held back, you're being programmed. To lose. It's working against your unique nature. So what does that mean? How is this happening? Let's talk about it for a second.

We'll, back up. Let's back up a little bit even before that.

‍

Understanding Your Programming

Where does our programming come from? Where is it that you've been programmed in your life? All of us, for the most part, had parents or individuals in our life as we were growing up. And so you get programming from the beliefs or the religions or the politics or the, the types of things with people that are raising you.

And then you are programmed from your environment, right? The conditions you live in, the, the job you have, the neighborhoods, the whatever it is you're programmed from your environment. And then you're most certainly programmed from the people. That you're around the people that influence you will be programming your thoughts and beliefs and things like that.

And back it up to your environment. The, your environment Revol involves everything. Your phone, your news, the TV you watch, the movies you watch the stores. You go in and out of the signs and billboards along the road, your environment and your pe and the people in your life.

And even your upbringing has really programmed you and most importantly, your experiences in life have embedded programs and beliefs in your life as well. And most of the things out there are not designed for your best interest. Most people don't have your best interest in mind. Most people are not going out of their way to make sure that you are growing and evolving and becoming the best version of yourself.

Conscious vs. Subconscious Programming

But there's also certainly some, another aspect to your programming that I wanna draw your attention to, and that is that there's both conscious programming and there's subconscious programming. And the thing that you've got to, and I what you, I'm sure you'd agree with that, right? The conscious programming is the things that you learn and experience and the people say to you.

But how often are you thinking about or aware of the subconscious programming the messaging that's going the streams you're seeing on social media, the stuff you hear and see along your way, whether you're driving to work or whether you're taking your kids to school or whatever it is.

Subconscious programming is happening all the time. Ultimately, your program is gonna determine how you think it, it creates your philosophy. That's what Robert Schuberg used to talk about a lot with me is what's your philosophy, the way you think, because the way you think and your philosophy is gonna determine where you're going in your life.

Robert Berg as you many of one of my mentors that's no longer with us. He liked to explain your philosophy like the set of the sail on a sailboat. Now, whether or not you've sailed or not, if there's a boat on the water and it has a big sail, think of it as Pirates of the Caribbean or whatever you want, but the set of the sail is your philosophy because it doesn't control the wind or the outside circumstances or anything else.

But the sail and the set of the sail does control your direction. It does control your direction. That's why experienced sailors can sail directly into the wind. I think it's called tacking, but if you have the proper set of your sail. Regardless of circumstances, regardless of how the wind blows, what the environment is doing to you, if you set your cell right, your philosophy, you can determine your direction you're gonna go, but your programming is gonna work for you or against you.

The secret. And the key is awareness because once you're aware that you can create your life, that you create your identity, that you shape your philosophy. Once you're aware of that and once you're seeing what's happening around you, you're gonna be much more conscious. You what programming you're receiving.

Strategies to Reprogram Your Mind

So let me give you a couple of suggestions, strategies, ways I believe you can recapture your greatness and take control of the programming, or maybe even reprogram, reprogram your mind. The first thing to think about is that you've gotta understand and shape your identity because your identity, as we've talked about in the past, it's made up of your back.

Three things, right? Your background, your beliefs, and your conscious self definition. You may not be able to control your background. You may not be able to control your beliefs, but you can influence these things. But you certainly can set a conscious self definition of who you are. You are the person who's born to win.

You don't allow others to program you to. In any other way, you create your identity, number one. Number two, recognize and control those outside influences, those subconscious programs. Your screen time on your phone, how much time are you spending on your phone? How much time are you scrolling? Social media, how much time do you have for Netflix versus the work and the passion and the purpose that you have in your life.

How are you controlling the people in your life? Meaning, you know what I mean by this, right? Who are you allowing to influence you? Who are you surrounding yourself with? I surround myself with positive people. I surround myself with successful people. I. So cognize and control these outside influences.

And this includes your environment if you have a difficult environment, because I know some people have difficult environments, just overload and flood your system with positivity. Get online. Listen to the right things. Read the right books, but recognize and control your outside influences. So learn to shape your identity, learn to recognize and control the outside influences.

And the final one is. Create daily rituals that lead you specific intent towards the person you were meant to be. Create daily rituals that give you clarity, that have a vision that are affirmations. You physically work hard, you mentally work hard. I. A productive mind doesn't have time for distractions or a good opinion of other people.

Stay busy, stay focused, create rituals that are focused on moving you forward, not getting you short term pleasure, but creating the life you were meant to live.

Conclusion and Call to Action

So remember this as we take off here. You were born to win. You were born to win. And although you may be being programmed to lose, you can control whether or not you allow that you have what it takes.

You ha you, you've gotta be the driver though. You've gotta get in the game of life. You've gotta be aware. You've gotta take control and you've gotta shift your direction and create your identity and your philosophy. And I know you can do it. I know you can do it. I appreciate you being here with the Daily Mastermind.

And so I hope this is some inspiration and motivation that allows you to move more forward in your life towards the better version, the best version, the version you were meant to be of yourself.
