**[00:00:00]** Hello and good day, my name is Honza Mašek and welcome to another Brain and Breakfast.

**[00:00:22]** You might notice I'm all smiles, and that's right, because today's breakfast should generally lift your mood,

**[00:00:27]** but before we get to it, you've already seen the breakfast,

**[00:00:33]** so I'll just remind you of the basic principles of what Brain and Breakfast is

**[00:00:37]** and how to get the most out of it. Back when we could still meet in person,

**[00:00:41]** and hopefully we will again soon,

**[00:00:44]** each Brain and Breakfast started with a round where we shared what it was about, some aha moments, etc.,

**[00:00:48]** which you can also do by filling out the reflections under the video you're watching.

**[00:00:52]** But since times call for action, we didn't hesitate, and today's breakfast

**[00:00:55]** will be the first where Pavel Moric, our guest, and I agreed

**[00:01:02]** to hold reflections after the breakfast, and I invited

**[00:01:06]** a few other people I greatly respect, and I think

**[00:01:11]** the discussion will be good. So if you'd like to join us

**[00:01:14]** on March 31st to continue today's breakfast through reflections,

**[00:01:18]** you'll be able to do so.

**[00:01:24]** Brain and Breakfast is interactive, and today will be no exception. It works like this:

**[00:01:29]** there's about a 60-minute lecture, and today's guest won't let you

**[00:01:33]** just watch without doing anything, meaning

**[00:01:37]** there will definitely be interactivity during the lecture. But if after the lecture

**[00:01:41]** you want to ask a question, or even during it, grab

**[00:01:44]** your mobile phones, go to www.slajdu.com, enter the hashtag Brain,

**[00:01:50]** and under this video you can directly access the window to ask your question.

**[00:01:57]** I have the first question for you right now, so please try to answer

**[00:02:02]** whether this is your first time at the breakfast or not. That way I'll see who's here,

**[00:02:08]** I see there are already about 119 people, which is great, so keep voting,

**[00:02:14]** and we won't close it yet. When I switch it,

**[00:02:19]** there will be space for your questions, or you can switch it yourself.

**[00:02:22]** That's all from me for the introduction, because today it's about someone else entirely,

**[00:02:27]** and I'd like to welcome Pavel Moric to the stage, so come on, Pavel, hi.

**[00:02:32]** Hi, hello everyone.

**[00:02:35]** I'm really happy about this because I'm a big fan of Pavel,

**[00:02:39]** so I dreamed this could happen someday,

**[00:02:42]** and here it is, and I think it's at an interesting time,

**[00:02:46]** because every time I sit with Pavel,

**[00:02:50]** something inside me calms down, I get filled with optimism,

**[00:02:54]** and I get energized, so today we'll share that with you.

**[00:02:59]** So, Pavel, I hand over the baton to you for your presentation.

**[00:03:04]** Thank you very much.

**[00:03:05]** Enjoy it, and I'll be watching everything.

**[00:03:07]** Let's get started.

**[00:03:08]** Thanks, bye.

**[00:03:09]** Great, great.

**[00:03:12]** What I really enjoy about these events, whether live or recorded,

**[00:03:17]** are the possibilities of how I can start or what I can say.

**[00:03:20]** And live things are great because they can't be rewound,

**[00:03:23]** so I can throw in something huge right now,

**[00:03:26]** and you will all see it, it will be recorded,

**[00:03:29]** but mainly in live, though it can be edited later.

**[00:03:31]** So I'm fascinated by the possibilities and potential of the world and people.

**[00:03:37]** But often I encounter the attitude of these shallow people,

**[00:03:43]** who, of course, are also adults in body,

**[00:03:47]** who have seen everything, heard everything, been everywhere, know everything,

**[00:03:50]** have all opinions and characters already settled,

**[00:03:53]** and basically just repeat them and run on some autopilot.

**[00:03:57]** That's why today I want to invite you into a space of openness

**[00:04:01]** and experimentation, because some things I will tell you here,

**[00:04:05]** may differ greatly and be far from

**[00:04:09]** your mindset, your value system.

**[00:04:13]** And I apologize in advance to the viewers and Honza and Petra, all of you,

**[00:04:17]** if some things touch you today.

**[00:04:20]** And I don't know if in a good or bad way.

**[00:04:23]** But I think I wouldn't do these events

**[00:04:26]** if I didn't want to touch people.

**[00:04:28]** And when I say it might touch you in a negative way,

**[00:04:31]** it's because some of my experiences, thoughts, and attitudes

**[00:04:36]** might step on some of your toes

**[00:04:39]** and might irritate you.

**[00:04:41]** But in my world, that's always a good thing,

**[00:04:44]** because it's a stimulus to

**[00:04:47]** check if the way I think, the way I behave,

**[00:04:50]** is the only or the most optimal option.

**[00:04:54]** So today I'm here to

**[00:04:56]** inspire you, enrich you,

**[00:04:58]** sometimes also to healthily irritate you,

**[00:05:00]** so you can reflect

**[00:05:03]** if maybe it's time to make just a small change,

**[00:05:06]** maybe just a small cosmetic one,

**[00:05:08]** which can cause interesting and big things.

**[00:05:11]** Personally, I've never liked boring lectures,

**[00:05:15]** boring teachers at school,

**[00:05:17]** topics that were presented in such a predictable way,

**[00:05:21]** that I was actually falling asleep,

**[00:05:23]** but when the person poured some energy into it,

**[00:05:27]** and that's already the first question,

**[00:05:30]** why do you think people should listen to you in your life?

**[00:05:34]** Like at all, when you open your mouth, why should they listen?

**[00:05:37]** If you were here in real life, I would call on you like this

**[00:05:40]** and ask, but that can't happen,

**[00:05:42]** so just think about why people should listen to me

**[00:05:45]** when I speak to them like this.

**[00:05:47]** And maybe for some people that's completely misguided,

**[00:05:50]** but I want to, I'm actually exploring,

**[00:05:52]** let's start our today's new talk,

**[00:05:55]** about what kind of mindset people need to be in

**[00:05:58]** to hear and feel the content more,

**[00:06:00]** because often there is some kind of audiovisual inflation,

**[00:06:04]** which means we watch one video after another,

**[00:06:07]** YouTube and this and Instagram and Facebook and we keep going,

**[00:06:10]** and sometimes there is so much information,

**[00:06:12]** that we actually don't hear it properly.

**[00:06:15]** Just consider that a study was done,

**[00:06:18]** that before you arrive at your work, where you might drive for a while,

**[00:06:21]** or take public transport, it is said that

**[00:06:24]** three to five thousand attention grabbers hit you.

**[00:06:27]** That means signs, shop windows, billboards constantly calling out somewhere,

**[00:06:30]** people in the metro, of course.

**[00:06:33]** When you have the radio on in the car, someone is constantly grabbing your attention.

**[00:06:36]** And the brain can probably go crazy from that,

**[00:06:39]** because it needs, and now we are approaching the reason

**[00:06:41]** why people should listen to you,

**[00:06:43]** to only catch what is really important, but important to you.

**[00:06:47]** Just because you tell someone something you think is important,

**[00:06:51]** doesn't mean it is important to them.

**[00:06:53]** And this thing can be verified.

**[00:06:55]** And I deal with this because I have been a karate trainer for 20 years, among other things,

**[00:06:59]** and the most about attention I learned from four-year-olds,

**[00:07:03]** even though I train from four-year-olds to sixty-year-olds,

**[00:07:06]** four-year-olds, because I found out that if I don't have their attention within ten seconds,

**[00:07:09]** a flickering fluorescent light in the gym

**[00:07:13]** near the dust is more interesting than the whole Pavel Moric.

**[00:07:16]** And I was also thinking about the difference between Harry Potter

**[00:07:20]** and Mrs. Ušelka from elementary school in the attention of those kids.

**[00:07:24]** Mrs. Ušelka is always like, Karlík, sit up straight, Anička, sit properly, pay attention,

**[00:07:29]** she always has to force and persuade them,

**[00:07:31]** but when you're in a cinema and Harry Potter starts,

**[00:07:34]** they're always there for the first time, blindly grabbing their cola like this

**[00:07:38]** and the popcorn, and they're completely absorbed and present.

**[00:07:41]** And I wonder what it is in that communication, in that transmission,

**[00:07:45]** that makes people spontaneously want to pay attention.

**[00:07:50]** You can guess, you can think about what it must be,

**[00:07:54]** I can read it in your eyes, of course, it means it has to be interesting.

**[00:07:58]** It has to be useful to you, and there's a third thing, which is a hit,

**[00:08:02]** it has to be fun, or it doesn't have to be, but if it is, people want more,

**[00:08:06]** so attention flows naturally. And then there's also this, which we can't really try now,

**[00:08:11]** when it concerns you personally, like, hey Roman, how do you do this?

**[00:08:16]** And that question means that when it's personal, someone pulls you out of the audience,

**[00:08:20]** believe me, you have that attention with the speaker, there are three hundred people and he,

**[00:08:24]** and you, me, yeah, well, I believe that at that moment you're in some kind of contact.

**[00:08:30]** So, now I'll show this slide because I had something found out about all of you,

**[00:08:35]** even though I can't see you live right now.

**[00:08:39]** Now sit tight, because here it comes. You all, Honza and Petr are here,

**[00:08:43]** and you, you were all kids once. Phew, that's a mind-blower, right?

**[00:08:48]** So why do I say this? I say it because we all,

**[00:08:52]** even though we're in adult bodies, have certain hot buttons

**[00:08:56]** that switch us on. Either into fun and relaxation,

**[00:09:00]** or into irritation and anger, or into some of our sadness.

**[00:09:05]** We as human beings always carry this with us.

**[00:09:09]** And this slide is also here because once I was invited to a big corporate world

**[00:09:14]** to give an important lecture, and the director of that company sees

**[00:09:19]** that I have this slide and says, Pavel, let's not start with this.

**[00:09:24]** Put a Buddha head or something, but this is probably too much.

**[00:09:28]** And what I wanted to say is why we resist the fact

**[00:09:34]** that this was us, that was you, this is how we messed up.

**[00:09:38]** And sometimes it was worse, and spaghetti was everywhere.

**[00:09:41]** Why do we want to suppress these parts? I'm going to throw you

**[00:09:45]** these stimuli like a Swedish buffet and then we'll connect it all.

**[00:09:49]** That means, why should people listen to us?

**[00:09:52]** Why do we push out of our perception that we were children

**[00:09:55]** who behaved like little brats? And it belongs to it.

**[00:10:00]** Now I'll move on further to open up your attention like this.

**[00:10:05]** And on top of that, many people,

**[00:10:10]** because I also work as a coach and mentor,

**[00:10:13]** want to achieve something, but now you see in the slide, when you read it,

**[00:10:16]** I'll let you read it.

**[00:10:20]** They tell me how many things they want, what they want to achieve.

**[00:10:22]** As a Karate trainer, I hear a lot from my students,

**[00:10:26]** about what they want to achieve in the competitive field.

**[00:10:28]** People who come to me for business, or relationships,

**[00:10:31]** or some other personal matters, have many goals and wishes.

**[00:10:35]** And I observe the phenomenon that what they tell me,

**[00:10:39]** is sometimes very much at odds with what they do and how they behave.

**[00:10:43]** Saying something is actually very easy.

**[00:10:45]** I want to climb Mount Everest, I want to be a billionaire,

**[00:10:48]** I want to lose 100 kilos, that's my dream,

**[00:10:51]** I want to have this amazing relationship, family first.

**[00:10:55]** And then I see the guy working 12 hours a day.

**[00:10:58]** Family first, but he spends an hour a day with them.

**[00:11:01]** So how does it really work?

**[00:11:03]** So these things, I try to bring people into some alignment.

**[00:11:08]** And when they want, I actually lead people out of the places where they are.

**[00:11:13]** People often think they know where they stand in life,

**[00:11:17]** but when we analyze it, the starting point can sometimes be completely different.

**[00:11:21]** So in my work as a mentor, speaker,

**[00:11:26]** coach, blah blah, guide, I sometimes try to map with people the place where they are.

**[00:11:30]** And that's actually what we'll do in part today.

**[00:11:33]** So you can see where you stand in life and how you actually feel there.

**[00:11:38]** And the core of today's meeting will be a short video,

**[00:11:44]** a clip you will see now, and the answer will be in the video.

**[00:11:51]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:11:54]** So I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:11:57]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:00]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:03]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:06]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:09]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:12]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:15]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:18]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:21]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:24]** And so I try to actually do this part today as well.

**[00:12:27]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:30]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:33]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:36]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:39]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:42]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:45]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:48]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:51]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:54]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:12:57]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:00]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:03]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:06]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:09]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:12]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:15]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:18]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:21]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:24]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:27]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:30]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:33]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:36]** And so I actually try to do that in part even today.

**[00:13:39]** It's not about convincing you that you're living wrong,

**[00:13:42]** and that I should change and you should change,

**[00:13:45]** because people generally feel bad in corporate environments today.

**[00:13:48]** There are three basic words that make people want to puke.

**[00:13:51]** They are motivation, change, and growth.

**[00:13:54]** Because they are so devalued by the political and advertising scenes,

**[00:13:57]** and especially sometimes in companies of various types,

**[00:14:00]** that I would be cautious, or if not,

**[00:14:03]** then these things must come from within,

**[00:14:06]** and they must really have some strength, some power.

**[00:14:09]** So, after 20 years of research,

**[00:14:12]** studying, meditation, therapeutic sessions,

**[00:14:15]** traveling the world, holotropic breathing,

**[00:14:18]** altered states of consciousness,

**[00:14:21]** I found that the most important thing for me is the art of living.

**[00:14:24]** That it is a discipline from which everything will always unfold.

**[00:14:29]** From this ability.

**[00:14:33]** And everything else are some subareas and subsets.

**[00:14:37]** And if you want to live a higher and more developed form of your life,

**[00:14:43]** we will need a certain key.

**[00:14:47]** Because as a trainer, sometimes I have to go down to the recipe

**[00:14:52]** or procedure, breaking it down to the smallest details.

**[00:14:55]** To present the concept to some people,

**[00:14:58]** how something will be trained and done so they understand it.

**[00:15:01]** The ticket to your happier, higher, more developed, and fuller life

**[00:15:07]** will always be knowledge.

**[00:15:10]** That means we sometimes have to understand

**[00:15:13]** what is the glue that keeps us grounded.

**[00:15:16]** Imagine a scale from 0 to 10,

**[00:15:19]** where 0 is complete hell, you’re living in hell.

**[00:15:22]** And 10 is a fully enlightened, blissful, delightful life,

**[00:15:25]** full of everything you need.

**[00:15:28]** And you can mentally find your number.

**[00:15:31]** Today I’m at 4 or 5. Good.

**[00:15:34]** And I say, OK, Ladislav, you’re at 5, would you want to be at 6?

**[00:15:39]** People look at me and say, well, okay.

**[00:15:42]** I say, well, 6 is a little better than 5.

**[00:15:45]** And it’s interesting to explore what needs to be done

**[00:15:48]** to leave 5 and move to 6.

**[00:15:51]** It’s like if you were earning, I don’t know,

**[00:15:54]** 20 thousand and at 6 you have 30 thousand.

**[00:15:57]** And at 10 you might have a million per month.

**[00:16:00]** So just how at higher levels,

**[00:16:03]** what wasn’t possible

**[00:16:06]** at a certain level of knowledge, once you learn something,

**[00:16:09]** suddenly becomes possible. It’s like with English.

**[00:16:12]** Imagine your knowledge level is from 0 to 5,

**[00:16:15]** you’re at 0 and you go on a date in English.

**[00:16:19]** The only thing you can say is hello,

**[00:16:22]** and that’s where your conversation ends.

**[00:16:25]** So when you’re at level 3, maybe you can chat a bit

**[00:16:29]** and say things at least in the present tense.

**[00:16:32]** And when you’re at 5, you can speak like in your native language.

**[00:16:35]** And I show that the amount

**[00:16:38]** of experience and knowledge

**[00:16:41]** and the realization of it is actually proportional to that,

**[00:16:44]** what we experience. And for some people, misfortune is actually experiencing something, because they don't know how.

**[00:16:47]** They lack that awareness. And my realization became,

**[00:16:50]** that I thought people wanted to be happy.

**[00:16:53]** But the more people I meet and the more workshops

**[00:16:56]** and seminars I do for them, the more I find that something else is more important to them.

**[00:16:59]** But more on that in a moment.

**[00:17:03]** The whole personal development, if I had to say what the basic core is,

**[00:17:06]** is about two things. First, how to make life nice,

**[00:17:09]** meaning how to make life beautiful, rich, fulfilling.

**[00:17:13]** And the second part is how to handle challenging situations.

**[00:17:18]** This is a very simplified, basic psychology for me,

**[00:17:22]** and my own motivation for being interested in it.

**[00:17:26]** How I can make life more beautiful and how to handle tougher situations.

**[00:17:29]** But people don't really go for this.

**[00:17:33]** Almost not even nowadays.

**[00:17:36]** This sphere, which I would say is maybe the most important for 90% of people,

**[00:17:39]** even if they don't realize it.

**[00:17:44]** And that is operational and organizational life.

**[00:17:47]** That's exactly work, emails, kids, from kindergarten to kindergarten,

**[00:17:50]** planning, winter vacation, summer vacation, this,

**[00:17:53]** grandma, celebrations, Christmas, New Year's Eve.

**[00:17:56]** And suddenly at 80, you have a catheter and life is gone.

**[00:17:59]** We spend an enormous amount of time living on autopilot

**[00:18:02]** and basically only dealing with those operational and organizational things.

**[00:18:05]** And the first thing you need to do to step out of that,

**[00:18:08]** is to actually realize the scope.

**[00:18:13]** How much time you dedicate to that operation, how you might have made it complicated,

**[00:18:16]** and how much energy it takes to run this whole machine.

**[00:18:21]** And before we dive into the CORE after this very substantial introduction,

**[00:18:27]** I have for you about five empty pieces of advice,

**[00:18:32]** which you surely receive on your journey,

**[00:18:35]** but mainly you have given or are giving yourself,

**[00:18:38]** to leave it behind, because empty advice has no potential for change.

**[00:18:41]** So let's get to it.

**[00:18:46]** Empty advice, and my first hit is, there was a beautiful winter recently,

**[00:18:48]** even though there wasn't much skiing, but when I remember previous years,

**[00:18:53]** seeing moms and dads teaching their kids to ski,

**[00:18:58]** and the kids falling all over the place,

**[00:19:03]** then comes a truly magical coaching advice, and that is: just ski normally.

**[00:19:11]** The child immediately grabs their head, apologizing to their mother at five years old,

**[00:19:15]** saying sorry, I understand, I'll practice more and carve that arch,

**[00:19:19]** it will be awesome, sorry.

**[00:19:21]** You know, nonsense, it doesn't work.

**[00:19:23]** Next, when someone advises you on something that is the subject of those activities,

**[00:19:27]** this is typical, my dad always scolded me for this,

**[00:19:30]** like don't fall, keep your balance, and so on.

**[00:19:33]** She just doesn't know any better, that's how it is.

**[00:19:36]** Number three is a big myth, it's very therapeutic if you have kids,

**[00:19:40]** and that is when your child is in some kind of crash and something happens,

**[00:19:44]** here's a therapeutic bomb advice: don't cry.

**[00:19:48]** The child wipes their nose immediately, apologizes that these emotions were unnecessary,

**[00:19:53]** and you move on.

**[00:19:55]** You don't really move on, you know how it is.

**[00:19:58]** Touchy-feely stuff for those...

**[00:20:00]** beginners and esoterics who just read their first spiritual book,

**[00:20:06]** and suddenly start telling you they see only the positive and the beautiful in everything.

**[00:20:10]** So for those people, I have this slide to show you,

**[00:20:14]** that some things just aren't positive.

**[00:20:18]** There’s a guy who’s fallen off the chain, when you see the circle,

**[00:20:22]** he’s jumped off the chain, and at that moment you say,

**[00:20:26]** find something positive in that, maybe later in the hospital,

**[00:20:30]** when he reflects on what life lesson this offers him.

**[00:20:34]** But what I want to show is that some life lessons aren't about

**[00:20:38]** finding something positive in them.

**[00:20:40]** That it's just the dark side, just a black failure,

**[00:20:44]** a big mistake that serves a purpose

**[00:20:48]** to show you that the mandala of life is rich with all experiences,

**[00:20:52]** and this simply has its place and shouldn't be sugarcoated.

**[00:20:56]** The last advice, to wrap it up,

**[00:21:00]** is like from my grandpa, he was a great family psychologist,

**[00:21:04]** and as a kid I was afraid of big black dogs, and grandpa freed me from that,

**[00:21:08]** because he said, don't be afraid of it, and my fears immediately disappeared,

**[00:21:14]** so if you're afraid of snakes or spiders, just say this spell,

**[00:21:19]** Jirina, don't be afraid of the mice anymore, and Jirka relaxes and says,

**[00:21:23]** yeah, now it's that simple, so nonsense.

**[00:21:27]** I actually started researching this phenomenon in psychology and therapy,

**[00:21:31]** which things actually work and have some potential for change,

**[00:21:35]** and which just slide off you.

**[00:21:39]** I want to show you one more funny video,

**[00:21:41]** so you can see that life will always play in a higher league

**[00:21:44]** and when it tries to push you down, somehow you can meet it halfway.

**[00:21:48]** Enjoy this video.

**[00:22:18]** This can sometimes be a big mess

**[00:22:44]** and some good advice here might seem unnecessary.

**[00:22:47]** So that was just to get you started,

**[00:22:49]** to show you that I really mean it with your attention,

**[00:22:52]** that I want you to have fun and at the same time sneak in

**[00:22:55]** some valuable info that starts right now.

**[00:22:59]** I think the most important thing in the art of living

**[00:23:05]** is to realize that we are the creators of our own lives.

**[00:23:08]** Yes, it sounds like a huge cliché, but today I want to show you reasons

**[00:23:13]** why I think so, why it is like that, and what a mess it is

**[00:23:16]** when we don’t behave that way and hand over the reins to someone else and say,

**[00:23:21]** let’s see what happens. It can be, but I think

**[00:23:24]** that the active element is the important part.

**[00:23:27]** We are the creators of our lives, and as a coach, I ask you now,

**[00:23:33]** how exactly do we do that?

**[00:23:35]** That means, how do we create our lives,

**[00:23:39]** what does it look like on a daily basis.

**[00:23:41]** So people tell me, yeah, I’m a creator, yeah, I have

**[00:23:44]** the reins of life somehow in my hands.

**[00:23:47]** And I say, describe to me how that mechanism works,

**[00:23:50]** that every day you build it so that

**[00:23:53]** the week, month, and year suddenly become,

**[00:23:56]** voilà, that’s my life story.

**[00:23:59]** I won’t keep you waiting.

**[00:24:02]** The key building blocks and elements

**[00:24:06]** that you make every second of your life are choices.

**[00:24:11]** It’s intense, because how Miloš is drinking his coffee now, that’s a choice.

**[00:24:15]** How Honza just wiped his nose, that’s a choice.

**[00:24:18]** That Péťa over there is going to write something on the computer, that’s a choice.

**[00:24:22]** That Marie, who’s watching with us,

**[00:24:25]** hasn’t gone to the bathroom for five minutes even though she really needs to pee, that’s a choice.

**[00:24:29]** What you chose to wear today is a choice.

**[00:24:33]** And if you think about it, in this life platform,

**[00:24:37]** not making a choice is actually impossible.

**[00:24:39]** Because even not making one is a choice.

**[00:24:42]** A guy told me at a seminar, Pavel, I’ll show you now,

**[00:24:46]** I’ll lock myself in the basement for a week and do absolutely nothing.

**[00:24:52]** And I say, that makes a huge difference up there,

**[00:24:55]** when you leave those two kids and your wife there.

**[00:24:57]** I think she'll be really pissed off and the kids will miss you a lot.

**[00:25:00]** And finally, they'll know that dad is slacking off somewhere down in the basement.

**[00:25:03]** That means doing nothing is a choice that has some effect,

**[00:25:07]** that has some impact on this reality.

**[00:25:10]** So just realizing that every one of these decisions

**[00:25:15]** moves your existence, more or less.

**[00:25:19]** Try throwing a small stone into a calm lake sometime,

**[00:25:23]** and you'll see how the ripples travel maybe 5-6 meters.

**[00:25:27]** That's the stone.

**[00:25:29]** And now, because Honza said it should be interactive,

**[00:25:32]** I want you to try a simple first exercise.

**[00:25:36]** Take your phones, yes, you heard right.

**[00:25:39]** Take your phones and write, and be quick because we'll move on.

**[00:25:45]** Write to someone around you: I appreciate you.

**[00:25:50]** And send it. I appreciate you.

**[00:25:52]** No explanations, no hello. I appreciate you.

**[00:25:55]** Just throw it out there. Pick someone. I appreciate you.

**[00:25:59]** I hope Petr is already on it too, not slacking or playing some games.

**[00:26:03]** Great. So, I appreciate you, and send it to someone in your phone.

**[00:26:10]** I'm not saying who. It can be anyone. That's the choice.

**[00:26:14]** That's the experience. And put your phone on airplane mode right away,

**[00:26:18]** because they'll call back asking what's going on, if you're dying or something.

**[00:26:22]** We don't want that. I just want to offer you the idea.

**[00:26:25]** Imagine if you sent that person two different words.

**[00:26:32]** If you arranged the letters a bit differently and sent I hate you.

**[00:26:38]** I can totally see some of you reacting, how that hits us, how the image starts,

**[00:26:44]** the feeling of what would happen, how you'd have to explain it.

**[00:26:47]** Then you'd be on airplane mode and they wouldn't reach you.

**[00:26:50]** I'm just showing that these are just words and what they do to our reality.

**[00:26:54]** You say a few sounds and someone's life collapses.

**[00:26:58]** You say no, no, no and you uplift and inspire someone.

**[00:27:01]** And these are just words we use as creators, often very unconsciously.

**[00:27:07]** And I'm showing the creative power we have.

**[00:27:12]** But now I want to ask you something else.

**[00:27:15]** What influences that choice.

**[00:27:18]** It's also important to realize what influences that choice.

**[00:27:23]** And I'll tell you.

**[00:27:26]** It's your past.

**[00:27:29]** We are a product of our past.

**[00:27:32]** Our upbringing and the family we grew up in have a huge impact on us.

**[00:27:35]** The habits we were fed.

**[00:27:38]** The role models we had, and the ones we were told to have.

**[00:27:41]** How we were treated in elementary and high school.

**[00:27:44]** How we evaluated our experiences under the influence of these educational factors.

**[00:27:48]** All of this plays a big role.

**[00:27:50]** That means a lot of our choices are programmed

**[00:27:55]** and conditioned by certain habits, environments,

**[00:27:59]** expectations, societal mentality,

**[00:28:03]** environment, social contact, and so on.

**[00:28:06]** So sometimes I wonder whose life I’m really living.

**[00:28:10]** What would happen if I got rid of some habits

**[00:28:14]** and things that aren’t really mine.

**[00:28:19]** And now I want to show you an interesting example of this.

**[00:28:23]** It’s the black cat.

**[00:28:26]** If I asked you all now,

**[00:28:28]** raise your hand if you’ve ever heard

**[00:28:31]** that a black cat crossing your path brings bad luck.

**[00:28:35]** You’re all waving in the living room, yes, you know it.

**[00:28:38]** And I ask, is it really true?

**[00:28:41]** Some of you might say, of course not, it’s a superstition.

**[00:28:44]** Raise your hand if you wonder how this superstition has survived for decades, maybe centuries.

**[00:28:49]** Someone experienced something bad with a black cat nearby.

**[00:28:53]** They said, aha, bad luck.

**[00:28:55]** This phenomenon could have spread that way.

**[00:28:58]** Voila, little Pavlík, when I was eight,

**[00:29:01]** my grandmother would say something like this in Žižkov.

**[00:29:03]** A black cat crossed the street.

**[00:29:05]** I remember it like it was today. Oh my God, bad luck.

**[00:29:08]** And I was like, what’s going on? A black cat crossed the street.

**[00:29:11]** You believe it, of course, grandma.

**[00:29:13]** Grandma would walk me around the whole block,

**[00:29:15]** just to avoid crossing that street.

**[00:29:17]** If it happened in the car, like we were driving,

**[00:29:20]** and a black cat crossed ahead, I would look back and

**[00:29:23]** think something bad is going to happen.

**[00:29:26]** I was like, oh God, grandma, then she fell that evening.

**[00:29:28]** Right on the floor with her coffee.

**[00:29:30]** Damn black cat, I told you so.

**[00:29:32]** That means when we have a belief,

**[00:29:34]** we look for a reason to support it,

**[00:29:36]** for the ego, for this ego industry,

**[00:29:39]** we have to find the proof.

**[00:29:41]** And I tell you, whoever looks will find.

**[00:29:44]** Then, of course, you add to yourself

**[00:29:46]** various explanations of how things happen.

**[00:29:49]** And actually, it's just a program,

**[00:29:51]** which is completely nonsensical.

**[00:29:54]** That's why I sometimes mention grandma here as

**[00:29:57]** part of the upbringing,

**[00:30:00]** like...

**[00:30:00]** a formation that had a big impact on us. And you know what else?

**[00:30:04]** She was mainly your mom's coach. A great year, 1925,

**[00:30:12]** which means she knows almost everything about life and the present.

**[00:30:15]** Now just imagine the flow of information through those generations,

**[00:30:19]** and we live under the influence of these beliefs, so I can say,

**[00:30:23]** we can live life very impoverished. It's not updated, there's a lot of nonsense,

**[00:30:28]** we pick up on it, grandmas have lots of ideas, like those generations smuggled in

**[00:30:33]** know-how, like 'self-praise stinks.' That's just a problem.

**[00:30:38]** I teach kids in karate, of course, to appreciate their work,

**[00:30:42]** when something succeeds, to empower themselves, to evaluate

**[00:30:46]** what works and what doesn't. Not to wait with a hungry bowl

**[00:30:50]** constantly for the coach. Notice me, it's nice, it's good.

**[00:30:54]** We sometimes behave like little kids, demanding praise

**[00:30:57]** and recognition because we don't get enough from ourselves.

**[00:31:01]** Because we don't respect ourselves that much, we don't value ourselves enough.

**[00:31:06]** This is all managed by a fantastic system and upbringing, so you wait

**[00:31:10]** for those stamps like from kindergarten into adulthood.

**[00:31:14]** So, that was my entire introduction, but now you're ready

**[00:31:22]** and our audience room is ready to show you, regarding

**[00:31:26]** the art of living, three basic pillars without which I can't imagine

**[00:31:31]** feeling truly good in life. Let's go.

**[00:31:35]** The first rule is that there are certain principles of life, principles of this world,

**[00:31:43]** that always and forever work. And now it's not about, for example,

**[00:31:49]** when I stayed in Peru, that you can master the jungle or control it.

**[00:31:53]** But you can learn where the drinking water is, where not to go, that there are poisonous snakes,

**[00:31:58]** where the herbs are if your stomach hurts, that you ate something bad.

**[00:32:02]** This is something you can learn, this is knowledge.

**[00:32:06]** When you understand how the jungle works, how it pulses, where it's dark, where it's light,

**[00:32:11]** how it lives there when you can read it and recognize it,

**[00:32:16]** you, dear Honza and others, can navigate it better, and that's awesome.

**[00:32:21]** Now I'll show you one of the basic principles that is like the core for me,

**[00:32:25]** of all those principles, even though there are many.

**[00:32:28]** And that is both inside and outside.

**[00:32:31]** I know my head with a bubble is there now, but exactly,

**[00:32:34]** there's the solar guy, and over there Mr. Media,

**[00:32:37]** I'm not saying which is better or worse, I just want to tell you,

**[00:32:40]** that both are 50 years old, both are equal to me.

**[00:32:43]** And why do I say both inside and outside?

**[00:32:46]** That the way they look like this is because

**[00:32:51]** they have some settings, some thoughts, ideas,

**[00:32:55]** emotions, desires, what they want, how they want to live, how they don't want to live,

**[00:32:58]** what they feel like, what they don't, and so on.

**[00:33:01]** And I'm not saying Mr. Media is worse or more than the solar guy.

**[00:33:05]** I'm showing that what's inside, if you're stingy,

**[00:33:09]** will show itself outside.

**[00:33:12]** If you're kind-hearted, it starts inside, with that mindset,

**[00:33:16]** that emotional setting, and it will show outside.

**[00:33:19]** That means both inside and outside.

**[00:33:23]** So if you want to see how you're set inside,

**[00:33:26]** you start looking at your surroundings.

**[00:33:29]** What relationships you have, how you do your work, whether you enjoy it, what you realize there,

**[00:33:32]** whether it annoys you, what money you have,

**[00:33:36]** what level of knowledge you have, what experiences come to you.

**[00:33:41]** Because all of that, sometimes we have some influence on,

**[00:33:44]** because we arranged it through our choices.

**[00:33:47]** Aha, so the picture is starting to come together.

**[00:33:50]** That it's a series of different choices and decisions we enter into this reality,

**[00:33:55]** which also generates some response.

**[00:33:58]** And then there's a fantastic thing for those who don't want to change anything,

**[00:34:02]** which is, if you don't want to change anything, just keep doing the same.

**[00:34:06]** Don't make any changes and you'll keep generating the same results.

**[00:34:10]** Always the same.

**[00:34:12]** That means if you want a different result, you have to input something different.

**[00:34:17]** And one of the other important clichés from the principle is

**[00:34:23]** luck and bad luck.

**[00:34:25]** These were also passed down by grandmothers and grandfathers from generations back,

**[00:34:30]** because they are basically slogans, and there's also chance.

**[00:34:33]** These are slogans for things we actually can't fully explain,

**[00:34:37]** So we'll just cover it up with, you know, chance, luck, and bad luck.

**[00:34:40]** Now I'll show you how that doesn't work.

**[00:34:45]** Martina complains to me, imagine, Karlíček didn't get in again

**[00:34:49]** to that art school, he's applied three times already,

**[00:34:52]** he's just so unlucky. And I say, no, he wasn't prepared.

**[00:34:55]** Hello.

**[00:34:57]** Girls, I have such a jerk at home, this is the fourth time,

**[00:35:00]** I'm so unlucky, that bastard keeps hitting me,

**[00:35:03]** I've had this kind of boyfriend four times now.

**[00:35:06]** I say, well, that's about your self-respect and self-love,

**[00:35:09]** women, if I raise my hand like this, they would never stay in that state again

**[00:35:12]** and they wouldn't be. Oh, and then there are the guys,

**[00:35:15]** who tell me about the Novák family. Imagine,

**[00:35:18]** we were on vacation in Egypt and on the first floor

**[00:35:21]** we meet the Beneš family from our building, what a coincidence.

**[00:35:24]** And I say, they just went on the same vacation,

**[00:35:27]** to the same hotel.

**[00:35:30]** Let's take this mystery of life down from here

**[00:35:33]** and not make this mystery somewhere else,

**[00:35:36]** and realize that there is a concept

**[00:35:39]** of some simple causes and effects.

**[00:35:42]** That the fact you've been running a business for ten years and still have no money,

**[00:35:45]** is not bad luck, but that you're doing something wrong.

**[00:35:48]** But that's harder to hear,

**[00:35:51]** because bad luck is something where I can dump the responsibility.

**[00:35:54]** It's chance, it's luck, it's bad luck.

**[00:35:57]** Basically, I get rid of it, as if it doesn't really concern me.

**[00:36:00]** As I promised irritation, I have a real gem for you.

**[00:36:03]** And that is, look, everything that happens to you

**[00:36:06]** somehow relates to you.

**[00:36:09]** Jesus, I can totally see some of you dropping your mugs

**[00:36:12]** with juice and tea, these breakfast things,

**[00:36:15]** because it touches you and you disagree.

**[00:36:18]** You say, no, that's not true, I can't be responsible for...

**[00:36:21]** I offer the thought, what if you can't

**[00:36:24]** enter any reality that doesn't concern you?

**[00:36:29]** Even that a florist falls on you and breaks your head,

**[00:36:32]** and you spend some time in the hospital, where you can then think,

**[00:36:35]** whether the life you're living is really the one.

**[00:36:38]** Whether something higher in us,

**[00:36:41]** with what we sometimes just can't be in contact with,

**[00:36:44]** doesn't mean we won't accidentally twist our ankle somewhere

**[00:36:47]** and miss the game we've been preparing for so long.

**[00:36:50]** Maybe there's a lesson, a moral,

**[00:36:54]** some message from life, but because we don't think this way

**[00:36:57]** and don't develop the skill of communicating with something beyond us,

**[00:37:02]** we just explain it away as having a bad day and bad luck.

**[00:37:07]** And here, when you open yourself to the idea

**[00:37:10]** that everything happening to you is somehow connected,

**[00:37:14]** you suddenly gain more influence and power.

**[00:37:18]** I'm not saying you'll be able to control everything,

**[00:37:21]** like if bread rolls suddenly cost a hundred, it's not your fault.

**[00:37:24]** But you enter a reality where it happens and somehow concerns you.

**[00:37:28]** And what's important is the attitude you take toward it.

**[00:37:31]** Now, I'll show you a short video so you can see everything at once.

**[00:37:35]** Happiness, bad luck, and chance all in one.

**[00:37:38]** So hold on, kids, here we go.

**[00:37:42]** I always wondered why no one tried this before me.

**[00:37:47]** So many comics, movies, TV series.

**[00:37:51]** You'd think some lonely fool would have worn that costume once.

**[00:37:57]** Is everyday life really such an adventure?

**[00:38:00]** School and the office are so great, am I the only one who's ever dreamed of this?

**[00:38:04]** I always wondered why no one tried this before me.

**[00:38:07]** School and the office are so great, am I the only one who's ever dreamed of this?

**[00:38:13]** Come on, be honest with yourselves.

**[00:38:16]** At some point in life, each of us wanted to be a superhero.

**[00:38:19]** At some point in life, each of us wanted to be a superhero.

**[00:38:35]** By the way, that's not me.

**[00:38:37]** That's some crazy guy from Armenia who overdid it a bit.

**[00:38:41]** So.

**[00:38:46]** Surprise for some: a cape really doesn't make you fly,

**[00:38:49]** so a little physics would suffice, but for others, it's bad luck,

**[00:38:52]** just a big coincidence.

**[00:38:54]** Some things simply can't work by their nature.

**[00:38:59]** But life isn't to blame that we don't know that,

**[00:39:02]** we can discover it sometimes in a harsh way.

**[00:39:06]** So that was about principles, just a touch,

**[00:39:10]** that there are some principles inside and out,

**[00:39:13]** that maybe things have causes,

**[00:39:16]** that you've had long-term disagreements with your husband,

**[00:39:19]** that it has some cause and so on.

**[00:39:22]** For me, number two is the pillar of satisfaction and a happy life,

**[00:39:27]** to build some quality relationship with yourself.

**[00:39:30]** I ask people, for example, do you love yourself?

**[00:39:32]** Of course, everyone can say yes.

**[00:39:34]** But how does that specifically show?

**[00:39:36]** I have realized in my life that the most important relationship is the one

**[00:39:40]** I have with myself.

**[00:39:42]** For some, it sounds terribly selfish, but I want to say something about that.

**[00:39:46]** You know, I am with myself, and maybe you are too, correct me, Mr. Honza,

**[00:39:50]** I am with myself 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

**[00:39:54]** And I realized that sooner or later everyone,

**[00:39:58]** or I will leave them, we will leave each other.

**[00:40:00]** Even if I love myself more, I know it's not an endless story.

**[00:40:06]** That means I tell myself that since I am with myself 24/7,

**[00:40:12]** I would rather want to have a good relationship with myself,

**[00:40:15]** with my psyche, with my body, because we are multidimensional composite beings,

**[00:40:20]** and I would rather have a nice relationship, so since we are together 24 hours a day,

**[00:40:26]** I would rather have myself as a friend than some cop, critic, and judge,

**[00:40:30]** who constantly points out what is wrong, what I failed, what is terrible,

**[00:40:34]** look how you look, look how you speak, look what you didn't finish at the cottage, hey, the roof.

**[00:40:39]** Actually, all of this are unconscious concepts,

**[00:40:43]** which we can easily absorb from the society where we moved and move,

**[00:40:48]** and just crush our self.

**[00:40:51]** I say, let's stop suffocating our self by just starting to notice

**[00:40:57]** how nasty and critical we sometimes are towards ourselves.

**[00:41:01]** And I say, it's a choice. Sometimes unconscious, automatic, but when I bring it to your awareness now,

**[00:41:07]** maybe from today you can stop criticizing yourself.

**[00:41:11]** If you embed that intention, you will be more sensitive to when it starts happening.

**[00:41:17]** Yeah, you know when something falls from your hand again and you say I'm an idiot.

**[00:41:21]** No no, it just slipped from your hand, it's practice.

**[00:41:25]** Just because it worked for ten years doesn't mean you'll change it in a day,

**[00:41:28]** but you can set that intention.

**[00:41:30]** And I will show you how people have a great relationship with themselves.

**[00:41:35]** They might not follow the basic needs for this little machine,

**[00:41:41]** and then they end up somewhere on dialysis and ask, doctor,

**[00:41:45]** save me and so on.

**[00:41:47]** That's bad luck, they usually find kidneys for me.

**[00:41:50]** But what precedes that, like with my mom,

**[00:41:53]** honest, poor nutrition of the body and bad drinking regime,

**[00:41:57]** where it just opens only with coffee on an empty stomach and no drinking,

**[00:42:01]** because then you tell me, I'd have to build up when I go to those schools,

**[00:42:04]** not at the gas stations, so if I don't drink, I don't go pee.

**[00:42:07]** Now I have kidney stones. Well, probably a coincidence.

**[00:42:10]** So it's necessary to meet the basic needs for this little machine,

**[00:42:17]** which you see now: sleep, food, movement, drinking,

**[00:42:21]** because now I’m watching how I connect this for you.

**[00:42:23]** If you want to be the creators of your life and want to do it nicely

**[00:42:27]** and handle demanding situations, you need energy.

**[00:42:30]** And if you are exhausted long-term and eat poorly,

**[00:42:33]** and you’re the ones lying around with chips watching only Netflix,

**[00:42:37]** I’m telling you, you’ll have low energy and your creativity will suffer.

**[00:42:42]** You actually need some vitality for creating,

**[00:42:44]** to be in some condition, both emotional and physical.

**[00:42:47]** Just so you understand the connections I’m trying to show you here,

**[00:42:51]** if I’m not in shape, I neglect myself, I have no energy, no motivation,

**[00:42:56]** I have no energy for changes, and the vicious circle is born,

**[00:43:00]** and you run like a hamster in your race.

**[00:43:04]** Right?

**[00:43:06]** So that was the relationship to yourself, just a little touch.

**[00:43:09]** Today we have some kind of tasting of possibilities.

**[00:43:12]** I want to lure you into that knowledge.

**[00:43:15]** Number three might sound very abstract and Buddhist, about raising your consciousness.

**[00:43:22]** But in a moment, I’ll show you how it’s not Buddhist at all,

**[00:43:27]** and how it’s actually a platform I decide on daily.

**[00:43:32]** What you are aware of and unaware of is the place from which we make choices.

**[00:43:37]** You know, when this video is running, that’s the time I can drink some water here.

**[00:43:42]** But I didn’t know that until super Petr had to point it out to me.

**[00:43:46]** Because at that moment, if you’re not aware, the choice doesn’t exist.

**[00:43:50]** It’s an interesting phenomenon that we think it doesn’t exist.

**[00:43:56]** But it’s actually just that we’re not aware of it.

**[00:44:00]** I want to show you these stars, which represent some solutions, opportunities, and possibilities.

**[00:44:06]** Imagine there are opportunities, possibilities, and solutions all around you.

**[00:44:11]** But we only have a certain narrow frame of what we see or are aware of.

**[00:44:18]** That’s why I show on this slide that if you have a limited mindset,

**[00:44:22]** you see less, so you have fewer choices.

**[00:44:25]** If you take care of your awareness and expand that field of possibilities,

**[00:44:29]** you see everything from practical things like what you can have for dinner,

**[00:44:34]** where to shop, how your phone works.

**[00:44:37]** You know how many things your phone can do and you don’t use them.

**[00:44:40]** It would really make your life easier, for example.

**[00:44:42]** But you can't use it because you don't know about it.

**[00:44:45]** And if you don't know, you can't decide for it.

**[00:44:48]** That thing doesn't exist.

**[00:44:50]** Because sometimes I do personal development even for kids, we show this narrow sandbox,

**[00:44:56]** the less space you have to play, the fewer sandcastles you make.

**[00:45:01]** So awareness, friends, this is the key,

**[00:45:06]** so you can actually make a new and better choice.

**[00:45:10]** So I'll show you a funny video,

**[00:45:13]** so you can see that choice is absolutely key in everyday life.

**[00:45:26]** The end.

**[00:45:57]** So here you saw, when my dad saw this video,

**[00:46:01]** he said, what an idiot, why didn't he beep at the start,

**[00:46:04]** he would have known which car was his, right?

**[00:46:07]** I said, dad, he didn't know, you see?

**[00:46:10]** Do you know how many things we've done wrong in life and completely messed up,

**[00:46:13]** because we simply didn't know?

**[00:46:15]** That's how life works, you don't know, you act,

**[00:46:18]** you get hit with feedback, and then you know,

**[00:46:21]** ah, fire burns, first beep when there are two snowy cars,

**[00:46:24]** that look the same.

**[00:46:26]** And when this awareness starts to grow and enrich your life,

**[00:46:31]** you will live qualitatively differently,

**[00:46:34]** because you will make different choices.

**[00:46:36]** Life is actually about those constant choices,

**[00:46:39]** which come from awareness.

**[00:46:41]** And I want to show you that when you move forward thanks to awareness

**[00:46:45]** and new choices into a new game, into your level 7, 8,

**[00:46:49]** into that new level, what wasn't possible at level 5,

**[00:46:53]** suddenly becomes possible at level 7.

**[00:46:56]** It's like with money.

**[00:46:58]** When you have 30 thousand a month, it's somehow possible to live on that,

**[00:47:02]** and when you have 40, it's a bit better to live on that.

**[00:47:07]** And I want to show you,

**[00:47:10]** I often explore the impossible.

**[00:47:13]** At one point I decided to explore the area of money

**[00:47:17]** and that I would like to earn money for free.

**[00:47:20]** That I would like to get it for free.

**[00:47:22]** I don't mean begging somewhere with a dog and pretending,

**[00:47:25]** that I have no legs, but really for free.

**[00:47:28]** And it started when I began asking my friends,

**[00:47:31]** if they could give me some money, like David.

**[00:47:33]** David, would you give me a thousand?

**[00:47:35]** And David was like, a thousand, like, yeah, to lend, right?

**[00:47:38]** And I said, no, no, not to lend, to give?

**[00:47:40]** And he said, yeah, you're crazy.

**[00:47:42]** And I said, well, okay.

**[00:47:44]** What do you want it for? I said, just like that.

**[00:47:46]** And he said, you're nuts, I won't give anything.

**[00:47:49]** The same happened with Martin and others, and Miloš.

**[00:47:52]** The scenario was pretty similar.

**[00:47:54]** I asked if they could give me some money.

**[00:47:57]** They started eagerly checking their wallets,

**[00:48:00]** saying, yeah, but to lend.

**[00:48:02]** And I said, no, to give.

**[00:48:04]** And the question was, what will you do with it?

**[00:48:06]** And I said, I don't know, maybe buy some clothes or food.

**[00:48:10]** They were really surprised.

**[00:48:12]** But with Tatranka, no one asks.

**[00:48:15]** What will you do with it? Well, probably spend it.

**[00:48:17]** Or like with money.

**[00:48:19]** But then something interesting happened.

**[00:48:21]** One day I came home, opened my online banking,

**[00:48:24]** and saw a new incoming transfer,

**[00:48:26]** about 3,000 crowns, unexpected.

**[00:48:28]** I looked.

**[00:48:30]** Richard sent it, my Muay Thai coach.

**[00:48:33]** And the transaction note said, just like that, smiley.

**[00:48:36]** I said, damn, it's working.

**[00:48:38]** I called him right away.

**[00:48:39]** Richard, did you really send money just like that?

**[00:48:41]** And he said, yeah.

**[00:48:42]** And I said, Richard, why did you do that?

**[00:48:44]** And he said, well, you kept bothering the guys,

**[00:48:47]** saying you wanted money just like that, so I sent it.

**[00:48:49]** I said, wait, Richard, okay,

**[00:48:50]** but why actually do it?

**[00:48:51]** And he said, I was curious what it would do to me and you.

**[00:48:55]** That month I withdrew another 7,000,

**[00:48:57]** just by asking stupidly like that.

**[00:48:59]** and he was relaxed about it and testing it out

**[00:49:01]** and someone gave me money like this.

**[00:49:03]** I have it like this in one lecture on YouTube

**[00:49:05]** and people started sending me emails about money en masse.

**[00:49:08]** And I really sent money to a few people in five-hundred notes,

**[00:49:11]** just like that,

**[00:49:13]** to break this rule,

**[00:49:15]** to make it possible in existence,

**[00:49:17]** that people can just give you money like that.

**[00:49:21]** It is possible.

**[00:49:24]** Many things, like this surprise

**[00:49:29]** in the form of Japanese athletes from the Rio Olympics,

**[00:49:33]** happened as if they were impossible,

**[00:49:35]** but I'll show you a possible reason,

**[00:49:37]** so you understand.

**[00:49:39]** They were ranked around,

**[00:49:41]** 25th to 30th place,

**[00:49:44]** in terms of running times in the relay event,

**[00:49:49]** some sprint relay,

**[00:49:51]** passing the baton.

**[00:49:53]** They were going for their usual 30th or maybe 25th place.

**[00:49:57]** But the guys in Rio,

**[00:50:00]** got second place. Amazing. The world was surprised, newspaper articles, headlines,

**[00:50:05]** what happened, how did it happen? And I ask people, and I ask you now,

**[00:50:10]** what do you think was the cause? I see the bubbles over your heads,

**[00:50:16]** doping, no competition came, changed coach, new motivation, they believed in themselves.

**[00:50:22]** And now I have it like this, but nonsense. I'll tell you what it was.

**[00:50:25]** Their coach polished some new technique for passing the baton,

**[00:50:31]** where most time is lost. They did it as if it was run by one man.

**[00:50:35]** Where you lose the most time, he boosted it the most.

**[00:50:38]** The Japanese didn't run faster. They ran their usual pace again,

**[00:50:41]** because the Japanese brake. And they got second place.

**[00:50:45]** That's because someone realized that there was a big room for improvement in that process,

**[00:50:50]** did appropriate training for it and suddenly the time was completely different.

**[00:50:54]** I think the Japanese won't beat that time anymore,

**[00:50:58]** because when they saw the way you can gain time on passing the baton,

**[00:51:01]** other big countries will probably do it too.

**[00:51:05]** Now I'll narrow it down, our awareness to this,

**[00:51:10]** that if you want to achieve certain results,

**[00:51:19]** You need to create adequate or suitable conditions for that.

**[00:51:25]** That means this is where the alchemy begins.

**[00:51:30]** When I train kids in karate, and I say to Honzík,

**[00:51:34]** Hey Honzík, now you'll run there and back, do 10 squats and 10 push-ups,

**[00:51:38]** and you have half a minute. And I know, Honza, you can't do it.

**[00:51:42]** And he says, coach, I'll show you, I can do it.

**[00:51:46]** He runs, good. Then you take Anička and say to her,

**[00:51:50]** Anička, you run like Honzík there and back, 10 push-ups, 10 squats,

**[00:51:54]** you have half a minute, and I know you can't do it.

**[00:51:56]** And she starts crying, I know. And she can't even run.

**[00:52:00]** You have to understand the language, motivation, and the world of these kids,

**[00:52:04]** you have to be aware of it, and then you can design the path.

**[00:52:10]** You can't speak the same language to every animal in the jungle.

**[00:52:15]** You have to know its language, that's all about awareness.

**[00:52:18]** You know how many mistakes are made when, for example, in a company,

**[00:52:22]** you speak to women and men the same way. You come, do this, do that, finish at four.

**[00:52:26]** You come, do this, do that, finish at four.

**[00:52:28]** Do you know how much potential and good things you miss with those people,

**[00:52:32]** if you don't know their language, if you don't know their sensitive spots,

**[00:52:37]** if you don't take the time and interest to observe where it actually gets stuck,

**[00:52:43]** what they would need, if you don't ask, how much you miss out on,

**[00:52:47]** because we don't realize it. That's why.

**[00:52:50]** That means, to create some great conditions,

**[00:52:54]** they can only be made under a certain state of consciousness.

**[00:52:58]** So, as you see that leader's head over there,

**[00:53:02]** under certain conditions and a certain state of consciousness,

**[00:53:07]** we can achieve certain results.

**[00:53:11]** Well. It doesn't matter that the technician is sleeping here.

**[00:53:15]** That's part of the livestream and it makes life richer.

**[00:53:19]** Hey, fun. Now I'll show you how much we can be unaware,

**[00:53:25]** and then I'll hit you with some interactions.

**[00:53:28]** But inspiration says Pavel, I'm calling. Oh. God? Pavel, yes.

**[00:53:33]** He says you'll try some exercise now.

**[00:53:36]** So watch. You only have, really, get ready, here we go.

**[00:53:40]** Honza is doing it here too, so put your phone down.

**[00:53:43]** You have 15 seconds to run to the bathroom,

**[00:53:47]** tear off a piece of toilet paper, and come back. I'm counting now.

**[00:53:50]** One, don't just watch, get up, I know, three, four, five, six.

**[00:53:56]** You who aren't used to these exercises, you're definitely coming.

**[00:53:59]** Ten, eleven, let's see if Honzík makes it,

**[00:54:03]** Twelve, thirteen, Honza, keep going, fourteen and one is fifteen.

**[00:54:09]** Great. Now I'll read to you again like from a monitor.

**[00:54:14]** Many of you, many of you didn't do it.

**[00:54:19]** And that's the usual reaction, the usual attitude.

**[00:54:22]** Because you thought it was nonsense.

**[00:54:24]** Why would you run, it makes no sense now.

**[00:54:27]** And at that moment, you missed the chance to experience doing it differently.

**[00:54:33]** Honza ran, he managed it here in fifteen seconds with a toilet paper,

**[00:54:37]** he's wiping off sweat here.

**[00:54:39]** You’re filming this about sometimes mobilizing your potential,

**[00:54:45]** stepping out of comfort, breaking your routine,

**[00:54:49]** that there are people at seminars who never take notes.

**[00:54:52]** I will remember it.

**[00:54:54]** Then there are people who write everything down and don’t even listen,

**[00:54:57]** because they’re stuck on the previous thought and miss the current one.

**[00:55:01]** And I say, try doing it differently.

**[00:55:03]** You write for a moment, hold the water,

**[00:55:06]** and for a moment just stay connected with me.

**[00:55:09]** I have another exercise for you.

**[00:55:12]** It will last 60 seconds.

**[00:55:14]** Take your phone and open notes, or somewhere you can write,

**[00:55:18]** or take a pen and paper.

**[00:55:20]** I’ll give you a nice 10 seconds to get ready.

**[00:55:25]** Only 5 seconds left.

**[00:55:30]** But now there are mainly two types of people among you,

**[00:55:32]** those who won’t do the exercise, and those who will.

**[00:55:36]** That’s why I say experiment, to go beyond the usual,

**[00:55:40]** which might cost you some discomfort in the form of,

**[00:55:42]** going against some of your own attitudes.

**[00:55:45]** I don’t do exercises like this.

**[00:55:47]** That’s okay, try it today.

**[00:55:50]** Then you can go back to your usual mindset.

**[00:55:52]** Let’s go.

**[00:55:53]** You’ll have 60 seconds now, and I’ll see them over there,

**[00:55:56]** because the seconds are ticking, and when I say go,

**[00:55:59]** write down 10 successes from your life.

**[00:56:04]** Now Honza and Petra.

**[00:56:08]** So, 10 successes from your life.

**[00:56:13]** Tick, tock, tick, tock.

**[00:56:17]** Petra, try it, write down a success.

**[00:56:20]** I don't have, I don't have, I don't have, clearly.

**[00:56:23]** I don't have, I can't. Excuses, but clearly, they can.

**[00:56:27]** He's watching us here to switch, that's clear.

**[00:56:30]** Well, it's bad, but half a minute is gone.

**[00:56:37]** Well, you have to write 10, 10 successes from your life.

**[00:56:41]** I'm looking forward to what you'll come up with.

**[00:56:45]** You really have very little time left.

**[00:56:53]** 13 seconds left.

**[00:57:01]** 3, 2, 1. Honza, time's up.

**[00:57:08]** Count how many you actually wrote on purpose.

**[00:57:12]** Damn, Honza wrote 8, Petra 9, that's great, awesome.

**[00:57:18]** And I'll show you in this exercise how it sums up all three pillars.

**[00:57:24]** Principles of life, relationship to yourself, and awareness.

**[00:57:29]** Many people don't finish this exercise.

**[00:57:34]** They don't have 10. And I ask them why.

**[00:57:38]** And they say, there was too little time, you know, I write slowly and so on.

**[00:57:42]** And that's both inside and out.

**[00:57:44]** So they might have this kind of poor little mindset

**[00:57:47]** and it shows outwardly like this.

**[00:57:49]** Not enough time? Wow, there must be more time.

**[00:57:51]** Well, exactly. I give little time to keep it on the edge.

**[00:57:54]** It can be done.

**[00:57:56]** To evoke this attitude that lives there

**[00:57:59]** and somewhere inside is Mr. Poor Little Guy all curled up

**[00:58:01]** and this is how I invite him, both inside and out.

**[00:58:04]** When people start confessing to themselves for a moment,

**[00:58:07]** who they are and who they aren't.

**[00:58:09]** No one should be offended, I'm just showing you the idea.

**[00:58:13]** The next thing is, if you have the mindset

**[00:58:16]** that success means you must have a million crowns a month

**[00:58:18]** and invent some new patent,

**[00:58:20]** then you will have little of it.

**[00:58:22]** So basically, how hard you are on yourself,

**[00:58:24]** or your concept of success regarding yourself.

**[00:58:26]** For someone, success is everything they want and achieve.

**[00:58:29]** For example, I had success today that I arrived on time,

**[00:58:32]** that I have my graduation, that I do great work I enjoy,

**[00:58:34]** that I know Honza well, who is also a great guy.

**[00:58:37]** And I could say all of this is success.

**[00:58:39]** Meeting such people, doing such work,

**[00:58:41]** to be on time, arrive in a nice car, have money for new jeans.

**[00:58:44]** Success when the demands are high.

**[00:58:47]** Maybe then the topic of self-love, relationship with yourself.

**[00:58:50]** And that awareness is about,

**[00:58:52]** when you actually have it accessible in the field of consciousness,

**[00:58:55]** like if I told you, write down 10 animals,

**[00:58:58]** you would write 10 animals from this planet in half a minute,

**[00:59:01]** it's tested, some of you will have it in 20 seconds.

**[00:59:04]** Dog, cat, alligator, squirrel, deer, and you'd keep going.

**[00:59:07]** But your successes could be lined up like that too.

**[00:59:10]** And do you know why they aren't?

**[00:59:12]** Because we don't bathe or marinate in what we've achieved.

**[00:59:16]** Because we focus on what still needs to be done,

**[00:59:18]** what we didn't manage, what doesn't work, and so on.

**[00:59:21]** Where is the room for improvement? Yeah, for sure.

**[00:59:23]** And I say, never go and roll around in what you've also succeeded at.

**[00:59:26]** What we've already come through, endured, solved,

**[00:59:30]** what we've overcome, managed.

**[00:59:33]** But that's training.

**[00:59:35]** And that's why I offer you the option that every evening

**[00:59:38]** you open your newly bought notebook of your achievements

**[00:59:42]** and write down every evening

**[00:59:45]** three specific achievements that happened that day.

**[00:59:48]** They won't be vague stuff like, well, good, I don't know what's good.

**[00:59:51]** You write, I appreciate myself for arriving on time for the shoot.

**[00:59:55]** I appreciate myself for having a fantastic live performance

**[00:59:59]** and you definitely enjoyed it.

**[01:00:00]** I appreciate myself for managing to throw a fantastic party for my son's third birthday.

**[01:00:06]** Now imagine some math, doing three a day, 30 days,

**[01:00:11]** you'll have 90 in that success bible, if you do it for 10 months,

**[01:00:16]** you'll have 900, and when you have a bad mood and think,

**[01:00:20]** yeah, I'm worthless, just hit yourself on the head with that and flip through,

**[01:00:24]** Jesus, I appreciate myself 456, I appreciate how I solved

**[01:00:29]** a conflict at the gas station today, I'm proud of myself, and so on.

**[01:00:33]** You'll cry over how good you are, but the attention must be

**[01:00:37]** trained by focusing on what also went well.

**[01:00:40]** A lady from an unnamed bank told me after training,

**[01:00:44]** won't it happen that I become some self-centered egotistical monster?

**[01:00:48]** And I said, the second day already.

**[01:00:51]** She admitted how anxious she actually is about praising herself,

**[01:00:55]** It's not like you'll suddenly become some ultras.

**[01:00:59]** Your focus in life will also be on what’s going well,

**[01:01:03]** and after some time, you might start feeling just a bit better mentally,

**[01:01:07]** because you'll see that you're not the losers some thought you were,

**[01:01:11]** but actually good people.

**[01:01:13]** I have 3 minutes left and I want to show the team how cool I am,

**[01:01:17]** so I'll play the last video, which I think is about 2 minutes long,

**[01:01:21]** and then we'll just do the conclusion and be ready.

**[01:01:23]** How much we fail to notice, opportunities are swirling around us,

**[01:01:27]** but we miss them. Have fun.

**[01:01:53]** Hi. Hi, darlings. Hey.

**[01:02:05]** We're going on a bikini tour and need two skilled guys to do the tanning before the competition.

**[01:02:11]** You're in luck. There's a town 3 miles from here and we'll definitely find someone there.

**[01:02:23]** Alright. Thanks. Bye. So, bye.

**[01:02:34]** Hi. Hi. Do you realize what you did?

**[01:02:40]** Stop! Stop! It’s running out!

**[01:02:46]** Stop! Stop!

**[01:02:53]** This friend of yours is dense. The town is right there.

**[01:03:01]** Yeah, yeah, yeah.

**[01:03:03]** Well, two lucky guys will spend a few months with such weirdos.

**[01:03:18]** Yeah. Don’t worry, we’ll get our turn too.

**[01:03:23]** You have to stay alert. Yeah.

**[01:03:28]** So, you see, opportunities and possibilities are pulsing here.

**[01:03:35]** It was funny here how someone can fail to see it,

**[01:03:38]** like when we sometimes look for our glasses while they’re on our head.

**[01:03:41]** And I want to point out that we should be more mindful by

**[01:03:47]** asking more people questions, sometimes questioning our own opinions and attitudes,

**[01:03:52]** reviewing and revising so we don’t get stuck somewhere,

**[01:03:57]** so you won’t have to say one day, I wish I had lived differently.

**[01:04:00]** So I hope you enjoyed it.

**[01:04:02]** I wish you all to develop the art of living and don’t forget,

**[01:04:05]** that you are the creators of your own lives. Take care.

**[01:04:12]** Thank you. Thank you, it was nice.

**[01:04:15]** Usually people are used to the fact that a period means applause like this.

**[01:04:19]** So let’s just imagine that.

**[01:04:23]** Really, thanks.

**[01:04:25]** But I mean it sincerely now.

**[01:04:29]** I’ll share my first reflection on it,

**[01:04:31]** because usually at breakfasts my thoughts are somewhere else.

**[01:04:35]** And we agreed not to do it that way.

**[01:04:37]** And you actually gave a lecture for me,

**[01:04:39]** so I was about 95% focused on you.

**[01:04:42]** I had a few things to deal with.

**[01:04:44]** And out of those things, the ten I was supposed to list,

**[01:04:48]** my expectations were really somewhere else.

**[01:04:52]** That means I realized again,

**[01:04:56]** what a self-critic I am.

**[01:04:58]** And how stuck I am in my head,

**[01:05:00]** that small things are actually good.

**[01:05:03]** That it's super cool.

**[01:05:05]** So thank you for that.

**[01:05:07]** And you should definitely ask now.

**[01:05:10]** There are many questions.

**[01:05:12]** So I won't hold you up any longer.

**[01:05:14]** The fact that I have my phone here now,

**[01:05:16]** doesn't mean I'm texting.

**[01:05:18]** But another thing that really surprised me,

**[01:05:20]** is that I got a few SMS messages in the serious network.

**[01:05:24]** That's great.

**[01:05:27]** Really nice.

**[01:05:28]** Very nice.

**[01:05:30]** Good day, Pavel.

**[01:05:32]** How do you cope with the feeling

**[01:05:34]** that we can't influence the things around us?

**[01:05:36]** Katka asks, how do you deal with

**[01:05:38]** the feeling that you can't influence the things around you?

**[01:05:39]** When prices go up, as I said,

**[01:05:43]** when gas goes up and costs a hundred crowns per liter,

**[01:05:44]** I actually enjoy

**[01:05:47]** the range of options I have to take a stance.

**[01:05:50]** So if gas goes up to a hundred crowns per liter,

**[01:05:54]** I stop driving, I ride a bike,

**[01:05:57]** I'll be fresher, just have pumped-up legs.

**[01:06:00]** Or I'll buy an e-bike,

**[01:06:03]** or start walking,

**[01:06:06]** or start earning more.

**[01:06:07]** Or I'll bite the bullet and accept it,

**[01:06:09]** but I'll move toward gradual acceptance,

**[01:06:11]** not resistance.

**[01:06:15]** And I won't say every evening,

**[01:06:16]** how expensive gas is,

**[01:06:18]** like my dad does.

**[01:06:19]** And now I apologize for being rude,

**[01:06:21]** because one guy amused me with this example,

**[01:06:24]** when I said gas would cost a hundred grand,

**[01:06:27]** and he told me at a seminar,

**[01:06:29]** I don't give a damn, I always pay five grand.

**[01:06:33]** Just to say, the range of possibilities is huge,

**[01:06:37]** but if I were to be more serious and go deeper,

**[01:06:39]** we really can't change things like,

**[01:06:42]** I don't know, being bullied in fourth grade,

**[01:06:45]** or your pet dying in sixth grade,

**[01:06:48]** and you were very sad,

**[01:06:50]** and it was a painful time.

**[01:06:51]** We can't change a lot of things.

**[01:06:54]** I think it's important to fully experience,

**[01:06:57]** completely freely, the emotions that the event brings.

**[01:07:00]** And then, this is important, not to push yourself,

**[01:07:03]** that sadness should last three days and then you have to be happy.

**[01:07:06]** That's always a big violation, what people say.

**[01:07:09]** Don't cry anymore, it's okay now, no.

**[01:07:11]** Cry all the way to the bottom so your soul can actually breathe,

**[01:07:15]** and you can park it in the understanding that it's part of life,

**[01:07:19]** that things have an expiration date, and people do too.

**[01:07:21]** And for me, it's important to talk about things,

**[01:07:25]** to have someone good to share your pain with,

**[01:07:28]** also someone to consult about attitudes,

**[01:07:32]** meaning to ask for an outside perspective if it's something bigger,

**[01:07:36]** that burdens you, but still to be aware,

**[01:07:39]** of how many ways we can approach it,

**[01:07:43]** and then where our unique path leads,

**[01:07:46]** how we want to handle it, have it, and where our experience leads.

**[01:07:50]** So don't block your feelings and actually relax,

**[01:07:53]** and then take a good stance on the matter.

**[01:07:56]** Thank you.

**[01:08:00]** I always think, whenever I read the question,

**[01:08:04]** I think, Igor is asking, what is the biggest change

**[01:08:07]** you've made in yourself recently?

**[01:08:10]** And you know what that stirs up in me?

**[01:08:12]** It strikes me like when you say it,

**[01:08:16]** you should actually be doing it all the time.

**[01:08:20]** That means walk the talk.

**[01:08:22]** So what change have you made?

**[01:08:24]** I can brag to Igor about something.

**[01:08:26]** My girlfriend and I don't have kids yet,

**[01:08:29]** and yesterday morning, I really felt from within,

**[01:08:33]** that maybe my time has come.

**[01:08:35]** Not like someone from outside saying,

**[01:08:38]** you're almost 40, think about it,

**[01:08:40]** and the clock is ticking and all that.

**[01:08:42]** Well, keep that, my heart is ticking on my own,

**[01:08:44]** so I'll wait.

**[01:08:47]** I looked at my girlfriend and said,

**[01:08:49]** she's probably waiting, I think, for him,

**[01:08:51]** but with kindness and respect.

**[01:08:53]** And she really let me feel,

**[01:08:56]** that maybe we would invite a soul here to earth, into a body.

**[01:09:01]** So for me, that would be a big change

**[01:09:06]** and a life decision.

**[01:09:08]** So Igor, this is something that came up yesterday morning.

**[01:09:11]** Thanks.

**[01:09:14]** You always have that kind of answer,

**[01:09:16]** that I can't just jump in with something now.

**[01:09:18]** You can.

**[01:09:19]** What are your daily rituals?

**[01:09:21]** So, daily rituals.

**[01:09:23]** Morning, bathroom, everything related.

**[01:09:26]** Meditation, journaling, self-exploration,

**[01:09:29]** reading a book I feel like.

**[01:09:31]** Then some morning training or running,

**[01:09:33]** and by then it's already nine o'clock.

**[01:09:37]** Then comes some fresh juice or fruit.

**[01:09:41]** I have that with my girlfriend,

**[01:09:43]** because she also works from home.

**[01:09:45]** So we're together, maybe we go for a walk later.

**[01:09:47]** So that's his morning.

**[01:09:49]** Definitely rituals.

**[01:09:51]** I actually wanted to ask about that,

**[01:09:53]** because often when we talk about personal development

**[01:09:56]** and that question actually helped me with that,

**[01:09:58]** the discipline.

**[01:10:00]** That means these are really the routines.

**[01:10:02]** Like going for a run,

**[01:10:04]** even when you just don't feel like it, so someone says

**[01:10:06]** you're not listening to your body,

**[01:10:08]** how do you handle that?

**[01:10:10]** Yeah, that's actually great, because as a former athlete,

**[01:10:12]** I didn't say it, but I'm a seven-time Czech Republic champion

**[01:10:14]** in karate, so I know something about

**[01:10:16]** high-level sports, it's basically

**[01:10:18]** finding the right balance,

**[01:10:20]** having some discipline and deciding to run three times a week,

**[01:10:22]** which is good for Pavlík.

**[01:10:24]** But when weakness comes, the body,

**[01:10:26]** I hand over the baton and say, let's not go.

**[01:10:28]** We're no longer mindless slaves

**[01:10:30]** to some German discipline that

**[01:10:32]** turns me into

**[01:10:34]** someone in a concentration camp.

**[01:10:36]** So listening to your body is a priority.

**[01:10:38]** Thank you.

**[01:10:40]** How not to go crazy in these times

**[01:10:42]** and how to help yourself if you sometimes

**[01:10:44]** fall into depression?

**[01:10:46]** Yeah, I offer people,

**[01:10:48]** who I coach,

**[01:10:50]** this thing,

**[01:10:52]** try doing new things.

**[01:10:54]** And I say,

**[01:10:56]** before you get to the car, do five burpees on the way.

**[01:10:58]** Run a slalom around cars.

**[01:11:00]** Go to the nearest pond and

**[01:11:02]** put cold water up to your knees.

**[01:11:04]** Call out to ten people on the street.

**[01:11:06]** Order a completely new meal you normally wouldn't eat.

**[01:11:08]** What, but I

**[01:11:10]** always swell up from shrimp.

**[01:11:12]** Then order a double portion so you really swell up,

**[01:11:14]** and get a pack from Jirtek.

**[01:11:16]** I'm just kidding, I'm just showing

**[01:11:18]** that people actually forget

**[01:11:20]** that this endless platform,

**[01:11:22]** that you keep moving in it even with restrictions,

**[01:11:24]** you have to move a lot, have a lot of fun.

**[01:11:26]** One last thing, set an alarm

**[01:11:28]** for 20 minutes countdown on your phone,

**[01:11:30]** get in the car and drive somewhere.

**[01:11:32]** Just drive around Prague,

**[01:11:34]** and where it starts beeping, park,

**[01:11:36]** get out and walk a kilometer.

**[01:11:38]** You'll discover a different reality.

**[01:11:40]** I just want to say

**[01:11:42]** that people

**[01:11:44]** get stuck in their stereotypes,

**[01:11:46]** which have narrowed down to them

**[01:11:48]** home office, a rose garden,

**[01:11:50]** what happened at work, nothing good,

**[01:11:52]** kids at school, others at home,

**[01:11:54]** and it all gets really reduced

**[01:11:56]** and that actually depresses us,

**[01:11:58]** our attitude, which has narrowed down

**[01:12:00]** to that experience.

**[01:12:02]** And I say, come explore,

**[01:12:04]** buy a new board game,

**[01:12:06]** invite someone for dinner who you

**[01:12:08]** haven't contacted in a long time,

**[01:12:10]** just to update that,

**[01:12:12]** maybe it will be good.

**[01:12:14]** Even though I feel there's something narrowed here,

**[01:12:16]** because you have to be

**[01:12:18]** active in that discovery.

**[01:12:20]** And if you have some depression,

**[01:12:22]** I would distinguish two basic things.

**[01:12:24]** I have it long-term,

**[01:12:26]** because some topic cycles for me,

**[01:12:28]** so some therapy would be useful.

**[01:12:30]** Or it's some situational thing,

**[01:12:32]** that I'm anxious and when something is rejected from me

**[01:12:34]** at work, I immediately fall into depression.

**[01:12:36]** These are two levels, and I say,

**[01:12:38]** that with an expert, you can definitely do something about it.

**[01:12:42]** Igor asks further.

**[01:12:44]** Hi Pavel, is there currently something

**[01:12:46]** you want to change about yourself

**[01:12:48]** and have been trying to for a long time?

**[01:12:50]** Yeah.

**[01:12:54]** Sometimes I have space,

**[01:12:56]** because I feel my inner man,

**[01:12:58]** but sometimes I fall into some kind of child,

**[01:13:00]** some brat,

**[01:13:02]** who is sometimes even hurt,

**[01:13:04]** because I had some tough things in childhood.

**[01:13:06]** So I try

**[01:13:08]** to follow the path of a true man

**[01:13:10]** and discover those qualities and values

**[01:13:12]** and bring them into everything.

**[01:13:14]** There isn’t enough of it.

**[01:13:16]** And I think the project isn’t finished yet.

**[01:13:18]** Sometimes I fall and I’m kind of like

**[01:13:20]** Aneta, please bring me some tea.

**[01:13:22]** And I can get up and get it myself.

**[01:13:24]** And sometimes I play that brat.

**[01:13:26]** So my project,

**[01:13:28]** to be a real man,

**[01:13:30]** like a true knight for myself

**[01:13:32]** and for those around me, I’m working on that.

**[01:13:34]** How much...

**[01:13:36]** You talked about productive time.

**[01:13:38]** What percentage of productive time

**[01:13:40]** do you spend

**[01:13:42]** on various organizational activities,

**[01:13:44]** and what minimum

**[01:13:46]** do you think is achievable?

**[01:13:48]** If I...

**[01:13:50]** Right now I might

**[01:13:52]** upset some people.

**[01:13:54]** Actually,

**[01:13:56]** I don’t work every day

**[01:13:58]** or I have some

**[01:14:00]** passive things.

**[01:14:02]** I work or have some

**[01:14:04]** passive income from some activities.

**[01:14:06]** So, for example, I do

**[01:14:08]** two hours a day, like two hours of coaching

**[01:14:10]** or something like that.

**[01:14:12]** And I think it's

**[01:14:16]** two to three hours a day I spend

**[01:14:18]** on these things, and sometimes

**[01:14:20]** I get scared that it's even zero.

**[01:14:22]** Like nothing. But when someone works eight

**[01:14:24]** hours a day or is in some home office,

**[01:14:26]** and has to keep going, I understand that everything waits,

**[01:14:28]** until the home office ends.

**[01:14:30]** Then they actually start taking care of it.

**[01:14:32]** So it overflows. That's what consumes,

**[01:14:34]** for example, ten hours daily.

**[01:14:36]** And I ask those people,

**[01:14:38]** if that's the only way they can manage

**[01:14:40]** their life. If it can't be done differently.

**[01:14:42]** And that's again about individual

**[01:14:44]** talks with each of them,

**[01:14:46]** to find where they overwork,

**[01:14:48]** for example.

**[01:14:50]** In this context, it seems very healthy to me,

**[01:14:52]** but you didn't just appear here like that,

**[01:14:54]** or at zero.

**[01:14:56]** Well, I worked like crazy.

**[01:15:00]** 12 hours a day, easily.

**[01:15:02]** And that's exactly it, that actually...

**[01:15:04]** But sometimes you get stuck in it.

**[01:15:06]** That's the point. I understand that.

**[01:15:08]** But then the person always

**[01:15:10]** compares reality only

**[01:15:12]** to the ten hours you mentioned.

**[01:15:14]** But you were also at three, you were at four,

**[01:15:16]** you were also at five.

**[01:15:18]** So maybe realizing that, the sooner, in my opinion,

**[01:15:24]** a person figures out what you just said here

**[01:15:26]** then, in my opinion, they can move forward faster.

**[01:15:28]** He or she can progress further.

**[01:15:30]** So probably this here.

**[01:15:32]** I just want people to ask themselves a question,

**[01:15:34]** what truly motivates them

**[01:15:36]** to spend 12 hours a day like this,

**[01:15:38]** and then for the family or the girlfriend

**[01:15:40]** there's only a devastated guy left,

**[01:15:42]** who, please, like,

**[01:15:44]** just turns something on the TV. Right?

**[01:15:46]** Yeah.

**[01:15:50]** I got an answer

**[01:15:52]** to your feeling, and so did I to you.

**[01:15:54]** We never said it out loud.

**[01:15:56]** Smile. That's nice.

**[01:15:58]** That's, that's a nice,

**[01:16:00]** that's a nice message. A note

**[01:16:02]** about the title. Orko Vácha promotes

**[01:16:04]** Aristotle's product ethics, it's the art of living.

**[01:16:06]** Life is given, but you have to

**[01:16:08]** learn it for a long time, like any

**[01:16:10]** other learning and art. So

**[01:16:12]** do you want to say something about that?

**[01:16:14]** Could be. Actually,

**[01:16:16]** let everyone keep their mindsets, and no one

**[01:16:18]** has to change if they're comfortable with it.

**[01:16:20]** If the philosophy suits them,

**[01:16:22]** good, I'm just offering other perspectives,

**[01:16:24]** which can enrich

**[01:16:26]** and that's all.

**[01:16:28]** If I could step out of the moderator role here,

**[01:16:30]** and why wouldn't I?

**[01:16:32]** I actually, I keep thinking

**[01:16:34]** about it because

**[01:16:36]** personal development is also a kind of

**[01:16:38]** learning for me, right? That means,

**[01:16:40]** it's some kind of progress. And I can

**[01:16:42]** learn, just like you said there

**[01:16:46]** He had that slide with the grandmother, that I can learn somehow,

**[01:16:48]** or I can start focusing on how to speed up learning.

**[01:16:52]** And for example, attending these

**[01:16:54]** lectures, and I assume that when people are here

**[01:16:56]** at this lecture

**[01:16:58]** and listen to Brain&Breakfast, they are no longer

**[01:17:00]** people who watch something like Ordinace v růžové zahradě, like immature learners.

**[01:17:02]** But actually,

**[01:17:04]** it's like that, right?

**[01:17:06]** And I can imagine that even this,

**[01:17:08]** and this is actually the question I

**[01:17:10]** assume, I consider myself

**[01:17:12]** a person who, I don't want to say,

**[01:17:14]** is the last in learning, but I am

**[01:17:16]** pretty into it, I still enjoy discovering

**[01:17:18]** the limits, but what if I'm

**[01:17:20]** at level two? What if I'm really just at level two?

**[01:17:22]** What if there's a level five, six,

**[01:17:24]** and I'm totally excited to meet someone

**[01:17:26]** like you, who suddenly starts

**[01:17:28]** opening that up for me, that's amazing.

**[01:17:30]** When I first came

**[01:17:32]** to a Muay Thai training,

**[01:17:34]** when I was good at karate,

**[01:17:36]** I still got knocked out and saw that

**[01:17:38]** I didn't know how to do this or that, and endure that

**[01:17:40]** pain or deliver the kind of punches they do.

**[01:17:42]** So I had to accept my place,

**[01:17:44]** yes, I'm at level two, but the trainer

**[01:17:46]** was so good that he designed for me

**[01:17:48]** the most important

**[01:17:50]** first step to level three.

**[01:17:52]** Yeah, that means,

**[01:17:54]** I think we're all at some

**[01:17:56]** level twos or threes for sure,

**[01:17:58]** and that's actually very funny

**[01:18:00]** sometimes and good, just already

**[01:18:08]** The process of discovery is life itself.

**[01:18:10]** It's not that when I reach destination 6,

**[01:18:12]** something will happen there. I also have

**[01:18:14]** destinations I haven't reached yet, and I enjoy

**[01:18:16]** the way I

**[01:18:18]** discover them, it already excites and nourishes me.

**[01:18:20]** Not just like a junkie thinking that once

**[01:18:22]** I'm there, it will be great.

**[01:18:25]** No, it's like this now,

**[01:18:27]** it's happening now, it's happening now.

**[01:18:29]** When I go to the car, or I just

**[01:18:32]** went up those stairs, I want to be aware of it.

**[01:18:34]** Now, not thinking that once I'm home,

**[01:18:36]** I'll miss everything between A and B.

**[01:18:38]** That's how people lose

**[01:18:40]** their lives. They focus on some

**[01:18:42]** sweaty pseudo-goal.

**[01:18:46]** Nice.

**[01:18:47]** When a person isn't selfish and feels

**[01:18:49]** that a positive change might

**[01:18:51]** not mean a step down for them,

**[01:18:53]** is it a wrong change?

**[01:18:55]** Or a wrong internal mindset? Honza asks.

**[01:18:57]** The thing is, Honza,

**[01:18:59]** is whether you base your life

**[01:19:01]** on others' evaluations.

**[01:19:03]** Meaning,

**[01:19:05]** whether your surroundings can see.

**[01:19:07]** When I started doing things like this,

**[01:19:09]** people said, "Please, go get a job

**[01:19:11]** at some bank," they would say.

**[01:19:13]** Or karate. "Karate school, come on."

**[01:19:15]** "Focus on university instead."

**[01:19:17]** "That won't support you."

**[01:19:19]** And so on. If I had listened to those people,

**[01:19:21]** who brought me down, I would never have

**[01:19:23]** had that karate school. I say,

**[01:19:25]** that was sometimes my biggest motivation,

**[01:19:27]** to prove to

**[01:19:29]** my surroundings that it could work.

**[01:19:31]** And that you can have a sweaty florist shop.

**[01:19:33]** And if you do it well,

**[01:19:35]** it will become some kind of highlight.

**[01:19:37]** So watch your surroundings. Good feedback,

**[01:19:39]** but listen to your own here.

**[01:19:41]** Here. How do I do it?

**[01:19:47]** How should a decent person cope with the fact

**[01:19:49]** that generally sociopaths

**[01:19:51]** and people without character climb

**[01:19:53]** certain ladders

**[01:19:55]** faster and higher.

**[01:19:57]** That's about great maturity

**[01:19:59]** and acceptance.

**[01:20:00]** which, of course, I keep saying here, involves some acceptance and you have to accept it.

**[01:20:04]** You don't have to, you can fight it. The question is whether that resistance won't cost you so much energy,

**[01:20:09]** that you'll get angry about it and keep pointing it out.

**[01:20:11]** Because this conflict lives inside us anyway.

**[01:20:14]** There are simply people who are very much like...

**[01:20:19]** I was about to say a word, but I won't.

**[01:20:22]** Okay, there are people who behave like jerks.

**[01:20:26]** There are people who completely ignore nature, values, lie,

**[01:20:32]** step on others' backs, and so on.

**[01:20:35]** The point is more about how I can properly take care of my own space,

**[01:20:38]** so that no one takes advantage of me.

**[01:20:41]** That they act this way—I believe the system of energy karma works,

**[01:20:46]** and that in the end, those people aren't really well off somewhere inside.

**[01:20:49]** When I see some politicians who get up at 4 a.m. to get everything done and so on,

**[01:20:54]** and then do their little magic business, I see how sweaty, wrinkled,

**[01:21:00]** and overbooked they are, like dried-up people who can't feel good about it.

**[01:21:05]** Maybe for the ego industry, but their hearts grow cold.

**[01:21:08]** So be calm, these people—God's mills grind slowly but surely.

**[01:21:13]** I once heard that they are born in the next life as toilet paper.

**[01:21:20]** Well, that's nice.

**[01:21:23]** I think we already get some feedback on this life, that we simply don't experience certain realities.

**[01:21:30]** There are a few questions, people thank you a lot for raising their energy, applause from home, and so on.

**[01:21:37]** Apparently, people even from afar, which doesn't surprise me, feel the energy you send.

**[01:21:41]** And I said it was like that.

**[01:21:43]** But here is a question, thanks for another insight,

**[01:21:46]** whose goal is also to share what I know and to lecture like you.

**[01:21:49]** Do you have any advice?

**[01:21:51]** It's like when you ask, now I'm gonna be like, she doesn't want this to sound arrogant,

**[01:21:55]** but you ask Arnold Schwarzenegger and say,

**[01:21:57]** I want to look like you, yeah, and you lift ten kilos on your biceps.

**[01:22:01]** So you'll have to go through a long process of discovering your own style,

**[01:22:10]** your own nature, which you won't be afraid to actually share with the world.

**[01:22:15]** Because the way you see them is how I live or express myself,

**[01:22:20]** I have strengths and flaws, I mess up, and I'm willing to talk about it.

**[01:22:24]** But after twenty years of working with people and always making room for improvement,

**[01:22:29]** and looking for ways to teach, one thing is that I have some know-how for myself,

**[01:22:34]** but another thing is that I focus on making it as digestible as possible and putting some energy into it.

**[01:22:41]** I think that's sometimes the magic of the skill.

**[01:22:44]** So learning how to teach is a kind of know-how I would focus on.

**[01:22:50]** I would watch TEDx, how people present there.

**[01:22:53]** What they do, if you give a book talk like at TEDx, I would recommend that to a man or woman.

**[01:22:57]** Luky is asking, so definitely, I would say there are many components,

**[01:23:03]** which you contain, and one of them is this refined,

**[01:23:07]** just presentation skill, but that alone is not enough for the person.

**[01:23:12]** So you work hard on one lecture, but you have to do a hundred lectures like this,

**[01:23:16]** for it to be okay, but I think that's the training,

**[01:23:20]** and you don't have to jump straight to a ten.

**[01:23:24]** This is really interesting and often embarrasses me too, how to guide another person,

**[01:23:31]** to realize they're stuck, complaining, etc.

**[01:23:34]** How not to let those things just be, it's like, come on, wake up,

**[01:23:39]** I'm already thinking about how it will be.

**[01:23:42]** Many broken teeth on this one.

**[01:23:45]** My Qigong master, when I told him, Vašek, imagine,

**[01:23:48]** someone comes to your seminars, they practice Qigong, but they're blocks of wood.

**[01:23:52]** They come for eight years and are still wooden.

**[01:23:54]** And he calmly says, but that's their Qigong, not mine.

**[01:23:58]** And suddenly you understand that somewhere you have to stop saving,

**[01:24:02]** when you see the person isn't ready.

**[01:24:04]** You only give pieces they are able to see.

**[01:24:07]** And if not even that, the lesson is about how to endure that,

**[01:24:12]** that the other person is stuck.

**[01:24:14]** Then it's still work with yourself, with me.

**[01:24:16]** When I see that you would get stuck somewhere,

**[01:24:18]** he is hard on himself, I would wish for him,

**[01:24:20]** if he saw how amazing he is, so he could enjoy it a bit.

**[01:24:23]** But he says, no, not enough, let's go.

**[01:24:26]** So I will have to wait until you get tired,

**[01:24:28]** because otherwise I'd be broken-toothed.

**[01:24:30]** That means I don't have any recipe for awakening.

**[01:24:32]** But sometimes I can kick you more in the ass, stop you, bring you down to earth.

**[01:24:36]** I can practice on you which methods you might respond to.

**[01:24:41]** A good trainer.

**[01:24:42]** Great.

**[01:24:43]** Like this.

**[01:24:44]** Pavel, some people are watching us for a few episodes.

**[01:24:51]** Times are what they are.

**[01:24:54]** Is there something you'd want to send to those people,

**[01:24:58]** besides the big message you already gave in that hour and a half?

**[01:25:06]** The clichés, the talk, the year like quarantine, or the type

**[01:25:11]** that it's an opportunity to get to know yourself, to see and slow down,

**[01:25:16]** everyone probably already heard that in all breakfasts with anyone.

**[01:25:20]** I'd like to see if you realize what basic skill

**[01:25:25]** you actually need to train and develop now, and where it leads.

**[01:25:29]** For me, it's patience.

**[01:25:31]** That's a skill useful in many things.

**[01:25:34]** And it's really a standalone discipline.

**[01:25:36]** And I say, be even more patient people.

**[01:25:40]** Just be patient.

**[01:25:43]** Perceive what space has really opened up for you now.

**[01:25:48]** Be patient when your business gets killed here,

**[01:25:51]** if life maybe wants you somewhere else.

**[01:25:54]** That means patiently exploring, which is the worst thing people can ever hear.

**[01:25:59]** Be patient and tell women, honey, everything has its time.

**[01:26:02]** People really freak out about that.

**[01:26:04]** But it's interesting to see why we freak out so much and this Western society

**[01:26:08]** would benefit from patience, and I personally needed it a lot too,

**[01:26:12]** because it would relieve us to say, they'll allow it one day.

**[01:26:16]** One day this will be back.

**[01:26:18]** Like loosening up a bit into the trust that it will straighten out again.

**[01:26:24]** But it might take a while.

**[01:26:27]** Thank you very much.

**[01:26:32]** Patience.

**[01:26:34]** And I'll try...

**[01:26:36]** Please, please.

**[01:26:38]** A slide should appear for you in a moment

**[01:26:42]** with a scale of how much you liked this today,

**[01:26:46]** from one to five.

**[01:26:48]** We like feedback, so please, please give it to us.

**[01:26:51]** At the same time, we'd appreciate it if you wrote three words,

**[01:26:55]** that came to mind when Pavel was explaining to us.

**[01:26:59]** What are those three key words?

**[01:27:02]** We'll then make a word cloud from it, and it's very interesting.

**[01:27:06]** I'd like to ask you to also reflect a bit,

**[01:27:11]** and fill out the form below this video if you want.

**[01:27:14]** Take some time to reflect, you can download a simple form from our website,

**[01:27:19]** about moments that surprised you, what you discovered, etc.

**[01:27:23]** Try to really sit down, think about it,

**[01:27:26]** and spend at least a little time with it.

**[01:27:29]** Don't jump straight into another activity,

**[01:27:33]** or save it for some time in the future.

**[01:27:36]** So that's my advice.

**[01:27:39]** We will definitely do that, and on the 31st,

**[01:27:42]** we'll talk about these things in a smaller group.

**[01:27:45]** What impact it had on us.

**[01:27:50]** I'm looking forward to it because Sandra Friedrichova,

**[01:27:53]** Dita Formánková, Peťa Skondrany, and Míša Šrajer accepted the invitation.

**[01:27:56]** People around Red Button who deal with breakfasts and things

**[01:28:01]** related to development and progress.

**[01:28:04]** So we'll have a chat about it,

**[01:28:08]** because we want to move forward too.

**[01:28:11]** And I feel that through discussion and interaction,

**[01:28:14]** it goes much, much better.

**[01:28:17]** Of course, there are other projects at Red Button.

**[01:28:20]** We have a book of the month.

**[01:28:23]** At the end of March, a special edition ends,

**[01:28:26]** about great women from a small country, which I highly recommend.

**[01:28:29]** So we have a new book of the month, Luka Šatlička's

**[01:28:32]** Storyteller's Secret. When we talked about the book,

**[01:28:35]** there was a lot of interesting stuff.

**[01:28:38]** Because, Pavel, you touched on it at the beginning.

**[01:28:41]** And that's why people should listen to us.

**[01:28:44]** The book talks about how it's partly

**[01:28:47]** about storytelling. And it also has a connection,

**[01:28:50]** meaning you can read the book to make better presentations,

**[01:28:53]** but you can also read it simply to tell stories engagingly.

**[01:29:02]** Which in itself is a great gift.

**[01:29:05]** Red Button Edu

**[01:29:08]** is an educational platform with lots of workshops,

**[01:29:11]** including ours, which will take place on the 31st.

**[01:29:14]** We have many topics and moderators preparing

**[01:29:17]** amazing shows for you in various fields.

**[01:29:20]** So don't hesitate, check out the first program, there's really a lot waiting for you.

**[01:29:23]** For me, a small dream is for this to become the norm instead of television.

**[01:29:28]** That we simply sit down and somehow,

**[01:29:31]** either sit with someone and play a board game,

**[01:29:34]** or instead of some nonsense, watch something that can move us forward.

**[01:29:37]** And the very last information for today,

**[01:29:40]** 20. 2. 4., for those who don't know, is Earth Day.

**[01:29:43]** And I'm happy we managed to organize a breakfast with Ondráš Přibyla.

**[01:29:50]** Ondráš is the author of the project Facts about Climate,

**[01:29:53]** but he is also the person who brought nonviolent communication to the Czech Republic.

**[01:29:58]** He is an expert in communication as such.

**[01:30:00]** So these are two topics we will discuss, and we named the breakfast Why We Don't Behave According to What We Know.

**[01:30:06]** I feel it also relates to today's topic.

**[01:30:09]** So Pavle, thank you once again for making time for us. Thank you all for watching.

**[01:30:15]** I believe we convinced you to join us again on the 31st.

**[01:30:21]** It will be a typical Zoom discussion, so nothing complicated.

**[01:30:26]** You just sign up for a Zoom call and we'll all be there.

**[01:30:29]** Looking forward to it, take care, thanks and goodbye, bye.

**[01:30:33]** Take care, bye.
