>> Nelson Mandela: In today's
world, many of the

problems we face are global

in nature.

>> Richard Branson: The
greatest satisfaction people
can get from life is making a

difference to other people's
lives.

>> Brett Moran: It's all about
building your confidence,

facing your fears. >> Woman 1:
That is a legend.

>> Moran: String to string
you're going.

>> Woman 1: Proper legend to
me. Don't know where I'd be

without him. >> Branson: If
everybody

could think like that, that
they would get so much

more satisfaction out of life
themselves, and they could
transform other

people's lives. >> Gregg
Braden: When we look at

the context of where we are in
our world and our lives today,
the best minds of our

time are telling us in no
uncertain terms we're in trouble

here on planet Earth.

[ Music ]

>> Alison Pothier: I feel we
are in

the time of the greatest
creativity

available to humanity because
we have

the ability to do something
different.

>> Jack Canfield: The choices
we make now have the power to
destroy our

planet, to destroy each other,
to destroy civilization,

or to transform it and take it
to the next level.

>> Braden: Each time

the cycle comes to an end, it
opens a window

of opportunity called a choice
point.

[ Music ]

>> Harry Massey: How we're in
our global crises, the question
that many of

us are asking is how come we've
got all these technological

solutions, we've got the people
and the passion,

how on earth is it that these
solutions end up being blocked
by the love of

power whereas instead, wouldn't
it perhaps be better if we

could all get up, align our
purposes, and come from the
power of love to see

these solutions through.

>> James Caan: I saw the floods
I suppose just like millions of
people

did but for me, watching them
on TV just wasn't enough. I felt

I had to come myself and see
what had happened and how the
people were affected.

>> Newswoman: Pakistan's Prime
Minister today described the
floods

devastating his country as the
worst in its history.

>> Caan: And how high was the
mud?

BIBp
>> Caan: If you look at worldRBF
poverty today,

you know, we have 6 billion
people on the planet. You know,

the world economy, you know, is
huge. It's ginormous.

When you look around you here,
what people really need is
quite humble

existence here.

It only takes each of us to give

a very small amount, and I
believe we can always eliminate
poverty.

>> Massey: From this

determination to overcome
crises, new and creative
solutions

can be born.

>> Newswoman: I am quite
literally clambering over the
roofs of people's homes.

>> Barbara Marx-Hubbard:
Problems are evolutionary
drivers. This is

true of your own life. It's
driving you. You don't always
respond, but

if you do, you'll probably find
you're going towards something
more creative.

Problems are evolutionary
drivers. Crises

often precede transformation

and innovation. So when you
feel a crises coming

on in your own life or in the
world, look for

what's innovative.

>> Massey: From my experience,
crises can

often lead to wonderful new
beginnings.

When I was at university, I
used to go rock climbing during
the day,

mountaineering in the holidays,
and then I used to party most
of the night.

I just loved dancing. I used to
dance at least 5 times a week.

Unfortunately, there was this
downside to this hedonistic
lifestyle

and as the years went on, my
life turned into a complete
disaster.

During that time, I started
getting

increasingly tired and ended up
having an ice climbing accident
where I fractured my

spine. From then, I ended up
having 8 whole years

in bed with chronic fatigue
syndrome, staring up at a blank
ceiling.

I even had to do my university
exams from a wheelchair.

At that time, I felt my life
was completely over. I had
almost no

choices. I was feeling
completely isolated and

trapped. I didn't know what to
do, but deep down

I wasn't willing to accept how
my life was. I was sure there
was another path.

>> Narrator: We all

have our choice points in our
lives that lead us somewhere
else. The question that

matters most, though, is what
will you do at yours?

[ Music ]

>> Alison Pothier: My career
started in

New York City working for the
heads of the futures and

options business and moved
quite quickly

to running a team over in
London on-boarding clients and

legal negotiations. I ended up
in management

and over a 15 year career in
investment banking, a very short

period of time, ended up the
global head of electronic
trading

and then a Chief Operating
Officer and Managing Director

in the city. So by 30, I

was the global head of what I
did and I

was, to all intents and
purposes, a success

as measured in the eyes of the
world at large. This is what

you're supposed to aspire to.

[ Music ]

>> Brett Moran: My life back
then was really dishonest. I
lived on a whim,

I lived on a lie.

Constantly from day to day, I
was dishonest

with drug dealers, I was
dishonest with family and
friends. I was ripping people off.

[ Music ]

I was constantly lying and
blagging to try and get more
money to get

more drugs, but the most
important person I was
dishonest to was myself. I was

putting on a big mask. I was
lying. I lied so much that I was

believing my own lies.

My mom was a typical housewife
and my dad was

racist with some very
judgmental opinions about the
world.

For me, I wanted to become that
person so then he

could love me more. So I was
arrested for

racism as a child. I was
arrested for violence.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Everything that my dad was
doing, I seemed to be copying.

I was getting into drug
dealing, carjacking.

I just - a few friends that
would do armed robberies, and
I'd become like a driver,

and even when I used to sit in
the car waiting for people to
do it, I used to know and think

to myself that this was so
wrong, that I was on the wrong
path, but

somehow the drugs and the
lifestyle took over.

[ Music ]

>> Pothier: I'm getting on
flights, I'm making the money,
I'm

growing in the organization,
and suddenly I come

back home from a business trip
and life

is flipped.

[ Music ]

I had, within a matter of weeks,

a miscarriage,

husband having an affair with
the secretary in the

company, and told that you
might have breast

cancer.

I would go into work and I

would do my job because that
was the one thing that I knew

how to do. So in my room at one
point,

I hit my head trying to get
some luggage out for the next
flight I was going to

take, and I realized no one
would know I was there,

and I remember thinking okay,

I've had enough, and I screamed

at the top of my lungs. I
absolutely screamed at the top
of my lungs, all I need

is some help.

I was on the phone with Dad and
he said,

'Al, how're you doing?' and I
said, 'I am really not good.'

He said,

'Al, no one can take life from
you,' and I

said, 'My problem isn't that
anyone took anything from me.
My problem is

I don't feel anything, and if I
don't feel anymore

and I don't see a purpose
anymore in why we do what

we do, I want out,' and it shot
through

me like, I can't believe my
father has to

hear me say I don't want the
life he gave me,

and it's that bad.

[ Wind blowing ]

>> Moran: I was trying to
pretend that life was great,
life was good, but behind closed

doors, you know, I used to cry
myself to sleep, contemplate
suicide.

I picked up tablets, but I
never went through with it. I
picked up the scissors to, you know, cut

my wrists, but I never went
through with it.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

I was at the lowest of the
lows. I was in a very

dark place in my mind, in my
world.

I was at, you know, my rock
bottom. And I'm not saying that
-

I don't know whether I had a
choice or whether I thought
about it.

It just happened. I just
stopped, froze, and just sort of

looked inside myself.

And that fear kicked in. What
was it going to be like in
prison?

Was I going to get beaten up?
What are the other people going
to be like? I'm not prison material.

What have I done? It just felt
like my whole life, my whole
world just completely stopped in that

one moment. The worst thing was
the reaction of my mom. When I
seen my mom and

seen how much I really

hurt her, it reconfirmed all
the crimes and the lifestyle I
was

sort of living. It just sort of
showed me how much I was
hurting people.

>> Massey: When we come to the
end of a cycle in our lives,

we're at the choice point and
the transition can feel like a
real

struggle. [ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

>> John Paul DeJoria: I was
homeless on a couple of
occasions. When I

started John Paul Mitchell
Systems living in my car, I was
a bit homeless. I had a

choice both times. First time,
am I going to succumb to this,
oh

poor me, oh no, or am I going
to have the choice to get a way
out of this?

First time I was homeless, I
was 23 years old, and I had a
son two and a half

years old. I went up and picked
up soda pop bottles, cashed
them in at

grocery stores for a couple of
cents and made it happen.

>> Scilla Elworthy: Just like a
caterpillar into a butterfly,

you begin to feel a bit
uncomfortable with the way
things are. If

one feels a kind of unease or a
need to do

something, that's the first
indication that you're getting
ready to change.

You're not happy in your job
anymore. You

would like things to have more
meaning.

>> Massey: As you enter a
choice point and you start
experiencing a

crises, you quickly learn
humility because what you

thought was going to work out,
doesn't work out and therefore
you realize

that there's much larger forces
at play than just yourself.

Really a choice point is a
wake-up call, a time

to be able to read the signs
and then make better choices

for a much better future cycle.

[ Music ]

>> Moran: This book seemed to
just fall out from the shelf.
It's as though it just sort of fell out

in front of me. I just seemed
to pick thi book up and just
sort of -

for that one split second, and
it sounds completely mad

and very woo-woo, but for that
one split second, it felt like
I wasn't in that prison

sentence. It felt like the
world just stopped spinning. It
just felt like everything just

disappeared. It sounds mad and
when I picked the book up, it
just felt like I

was so connected with it.

It was called Moment by Moment
and the Practice and Art of
Meditation.

[ Music ]

>> DeJoria: There were times in
my life when

being the bad guy. Boy, did I
get away from my purpose. I
helped cause it.

When I was down and out in
making those choices, a lot of

that choice had to do with how
well you felt about

your own ability inside, not the

circumstances that you are in.
If you feel and know,

by gosh, I have that
opportunity and I'm going to be
a winner

no matter what it takes, I'm
going to make it out of this no
matter what it

takes, you do it. The minute
you start agreeing that
everyone's

against you, you start blaming
where you're at on everything
and

everybody else, and then you go
further in, and further in, and
further in, and you

carry hate around with you as
time goes along. That choice was

I'm going to get out of this no
matter what it takes. Because
I'm here, I'm here.

That's how it happened. Either
I was destined to be here and
learn lessons - which did

.happen to me several times in
my life, okay? - or this is my
time to

be able to say I'm a human
being, I'm alive. I'm not a
clam in a clam shell or an oyster

in an oyster shell. I'm going
to do something because I can.
I don't care what it takes,

I'm going to overcome it, and
that was a good choice.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

>> Pothier: I looked in the
mirror at myself and said

is this what I meant for
myself? Do I

recognize myself in this moment?

Is this where I want to be
going in my life?

It wasn't all about money.

It wasn't that position or that
title that defined

me internally. Where is me, the
person that

I remember I was when I was a
kid

sitting on the steps with a
dream. Where is that dream?

[ Music ]

>> Massey: Birke's dream is to
be a basketball player.

>> Birke Baehr: I decided that
I'd

rather be an organic farmer
instead. >> Massey: But this
all changed when he

discovered the unhealthy
effects of the food industry on
his generation,

resulting in the label
Generation Z. >> Baehr: It made
me

mad when my generation has been
branded as

Generation Z, as the most
unhealthy, and unfit, and most
obese

generation since I guess
recorded time. And

that way, I can have a greater
impact on the world. >> Massey:
What happens to people who

choose to align their purpose
so early on? In his teenage

years, someone else also wanted
to communicate a message to his
generation.

>> Richard Branson: Well, I was
15 once and I was

at school and I think like a
lot of

15 year olds, I vehemently
disagreed with the Vietnamese
War,

and students didn't have a
voice,

and I thought maybe we could
start a national magazine for

young people to give young
people a voice and to

campaign against issues we felt
strongly about. And so I

worked out of the school phone
books, managed to sell enough
advertising to cover the

printing and the paper costs,
and my headmaster

gave me the choice of either
staying at school and not doing
the magazine, or leaving school and

doing the magazine, and so I
said goodbye and headed off

to do the magazine. >> Massey:
What though, if we still
haven't found

our purpose? What if we're
still trying to make sense of
it all of what to do

and where to go?

>> Moran: It just felt

like every time I was doing a
bad act, or I was lying, or I
was cheating, I was taking

drugs, or I was committing
crime, that it wasn't me. It
wasn't the

person I should be. It felt
like there was two paths and
for some reason, I'm still walking

that path because of these old
beliefs, because of these old
patterns, and I felt the path that

had to be taken, the more
heartfelt path, was the one that

was more congruent for me, the
one that had the feel-good
factor, so every

time I went against it, I felt
like I was coming away from the
path, which made me feel worse. I

wanted to come back, I wanted
to come back onto that right
path.

>> David Hamilton: It's
actually hard to change
behavior, and it's not a case of

just saying, 'Okay, I've
decided this now and my life
forever will go

in that direction.' You've got
to work at it. >> DJ: Somebody
scream and you will go faster.

[ Music ]

Every day of our lives presents
us with the opportunity to
choose, presents us

with a choice point because
there's lots of little patterns
unfolding in life,

so any time in our lives we
even feel, I need to make a
decision now, that's

a choice point. So we don't
necessarily have to wait til
the great big, huge

crises in our life, just the
moments from day to day that we
really

feel we have to make a choice
to do something important, to
think something important,

Then we really can change our
lives, and our lives will
unfold in a

different direction.

[ Music ]

>> Robert Quinn: Crises

push us outside of our comfort
zone. We have a lousy, terrible
experience, but if we

look at them carefully, there
are these amazing things we
learn.

>> Massey: I thought to myself
if I'm trying to get

myself better, I might as well
be helping others to get
better, too.

Wouldn't it be good if there
was some sort of health system
that could work

out what was wrong with people
from the comfort of their own
homes and help them

to get better, too? I didn't
realize it at the time, but
that was my

own choice point for starting
to align my purpose. Yet,

I was ill in bed, I didn't have
a clue how to do it, and I had
absolutely no

money. However, an incredible
set of coincidences

started to happen, and I
started to meet the right type
of people to help me on

my journey, and we ended up
with a health system many,

many practitioners could help
many, many more, and the
business

started to succeed, and I also
go better, too.

What's been completely
incredible to me

is how on earth, against almost
impossible odds,

did I go from being ill in bed
to actually creating a health
business?

What I began to wonder is
whether there were patterns in
people's

success, of whether they'd
aligned themselves with
something that was far greater than their

own selfish desires to help
them to be able to succeed in
life.

So I decided to embark upon a
journey

to find out and met some
incredible people to work out

whether there was some sort of
common philosophy that both
helped them to succeed

in their own lives but also go
on to make a difference, too.

[ Music ]

>> Pothier: And so I woke up
and I thought, right,

this is the way we're going to
do this. I'm going to allow
myself to have

madness with no limitation,

and I'm going to allow myself
to be logical and

grounded with no limitation. As
long as I've got

this side of me intact, this
side of me is playing,

and I will show up and do my
job and I will

open the doors to all the rest
and have a look.

And I will study it to check.
I'll give it some time.

So it was a survival technique.
I called it having magic
glasses.

I decided in any moment

to see it for what it looked
like and then have another look.

When I thought I saw it again
in another set of eyes, change
it again.

Continually change my
perception on everything

to give it another possibility
over, and over,

and over again. How does this
whole thing work?

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

>> Massey: What does science
have to say about patterns and
how they may be affecting our lives?

>> Vlatko Vedral: I think as a
physicist, you know, we are

really all simpletons. You
know, we study very simple
systems, but I think

you know, the mutual
relationships, the fact that no

object in this universe is an
isolated object and completely
independent

certainly has got to have some
implications on that.

>> Scilla Elworthy: The

sense of interconnectedness is
very ancient. It was

understood by Taoists in China
millennia ago.

It has also been understood in
Africa. For

centuries and centuries, the
concept of Ubuntu that Desmond
Tutu talks

about, and that means I am
because you are. We

are interconnected. What I do
and even what I think

affects another person or
possibly the whole

human population in some way.
So, it's

not as though we're separate.
We are all interconnected.

When

people act in unison, they act
almost

like a flock of starlings. When
a great flock of birds

wheels and moves, how do they
know to move as one?

But I have witnessed again and
again,

people acting together with

enormous power. >> Gregg
Braden: Almost universally,

ancient texts and traditions
have reminded

us that we are connected,
accept that we are one, that we

are part of our world, that
we're part of one another, that
we're part of the earth and

the changes in the universe.

[ Music ]

>> Vedral: In physics,

we really tend to think of us
physicists as

the observers of nature.
Actually if you look at it

a little bit more deeply, and
if you ask

yourself what is it that
discriminates me and makes me
into an observer,

then you will not really find
anything behind that because
after all, I'm just

a bunch of atoms. If you view
it like that, then really

the key element is not really
the observer or the observed,

but the interaction between the
two. The observer and the
observed could

easily switch roles, so you
could equally well say there is
nature out

there making an observation on
me, and that would be as correct

as saying I'm the one making
observations on nature.

>> Massey: Perhaps, rather than
the

simplistic view that your world
is just created by you as in
the Law of Attraction

thinking, perhaps there are
patterns in the universe that
are creating us, too.

To understand how these
patterns may be affecting us,
let's take a look at

what these patterns might be.

>> Braden: Our reality, as
chaotic as it looks to us

from time to time, is actually
built out of relatively few

simple patterns that simply
repeat themselves again and
again and

again and combine in different
ways to give us the reality as
we know it today.

[ Music ]

>> Ian Stewart: Let's go for the

big sky and look out into the
universe into space.

The galaxy is about 200 billion
stars,

but they clump together like a
kind of whirlpool in space.

In a spiral, it flows in
towards the middle. Spirals are
very, very common

as mathematical patterns from
the huge scale of galaxies

right down to snail shells.

[ Music ]

Go out in your back garden,
look at a snail. The shell is

spiral. If you look at
whirlpool, a little one

maybe in a river, that's water
moving round and

round in a spiral. It flow in
toward the middle. The
wonderful thing

is that when you look at these
patterns, they're not just once
off's. They keep coming up. The same

pattern comes up all over the
place.

[ Music ]

Across all the

world's desserts, you see the
same basic 5 or 6 different
kinds of sand

dune. There are ones that just
form straight lines. There are
beautiful

crescent-shaped dunes which
slowly move. Then if you go out

into the Solar System, look on
Mars, all of the same

patterns of dunes are appearing
on Mars. If you see a very

striking mathematical pattern
repeated on several different

planets, let alone across the
surface of the Earth, that says
the same

kinds of laws of nature must be
operating everywhere. It's not
just

all chaotic and random. There
are perhaps secret rules behind
the scenes

which governs how the natural
world really behaves.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Recognizing that a plant is a
fractal doesn't, of itself, say
very much.

It's just giving a name to the
shape, but if you can
understand the growth rules for the

plant, the way that the
genetics of the plant must be
every so often saying,

when you come to a bud, maybe
you put out a new shoot,

and then the rules for the new
shoot are the same as the rules
for the original shoot.

So it's almost as if it's got
some little program that

it's running, some recipe, and
every so often the recipe says,
when you

got to this point, go back to
the beginning, but do it from
here.

>> Massey: Fractals exist
everywhere in

nature and the reality around
us. Do these patterns perhaps
connect and

affect our everyday lives, too,
and what power does that give
us to improve our

destinies for the better? >>
David Hamilton: It's very easy
for us to think that

we are separate from nature. We
drive our cars to work, we live
in

houses, we walk about and get
on with our lives, and it seems
the world is happening outside

of us, but that's not exactly
the case.

We're actually part of nature,
and nature has these cycles
which

influence our behavior. The
cycle of the

Earth going around the Sun
gives us the seasons, but that
changes the

availability of the food that
we eat, and that then changes
the chemistry of our

body, so what we see in our
lives is the way in which our

biology is working is actually
a consequence of

cycles in nature.

>> Jack Canfield: There's
patterns in seasons in nature,
there's

patterns of the lunar cycles
that affect people. I mean,
I've had nights where my whole family

couldn't sleep because it was a
full moon, you know. Why is
that? There's

a pattern there and as we
understand these patterns and
cooperate with these patterns,

then it's like you get to dance
through life rather than be
dragged through life.

[ Music ]

>> Massey: So perhaps there are
points in the cycles and
patterns of our lives where it's easier to

change and choose to do
something different. >> Braden:
When one

cycle ends before the next
cycle begins, there's a

window of time where neither
exists,

where neither one exists, and
it's in that place

where we have the greatest
opportunity, where our choices
have the greatest

potency to change the pattern,
the oscillation,

the cycle of the past before it
begins the next cycle.

So the idea of a seed setting a
cycle into motion,

and a choice point opening at
the end of one cycle before the
next

begins gives us an evolutionary
edge that

perhaps our ancestors did not
have.

[ Music ]

>> Hamilton: In life terms,
what that would mean is if
you're traveling down a path

and you get to a fork in the
path, so the choice point is

you could choose to continue
along the same path that you've
been

on in the past, or you can
choose a different path which

would represent, choose a
different way of acting, a
different way of behavior, a different way

of thinking. >> Braden: But the
key is

that while we certainly may
choose at any time in our

lives, and it's good to do so,
there are times

when the physics stacks the
deck in our favor and gives us
the

edge that allows our choices to
have a greater potency and if

we're going to make powerful
choices of healing for
ourselves,

of peace for our communities or
for our world, to me it makes

perfect sense to use that

opportunity. So if we bring all
this information together,

the picture that it is
beginning to paint for us,

it is an awesome picture. It's
an amazing - it's a beautiful
empowering picture

of us as part of rather than

separate from the world around
us. We are intimately

entwined, enmeshed in all that
we know as our lives

and our world.

>> James Caan: Finding your
place in society, finding your
place in

that world I think is
absolutely key.

>> Canfield: I also believe
that there

are things we can call external
reality that you

have to be aware of, you know,
whether those are patterns,
whether it's a

train coming down the track at
you. You know, if there's a
train coming down the track,

you'd better get off the track.

If there's a wave coming in,
you either better know how to
surf or swim, or you better get

back on the shore.

We can learn to cooperate with
these patterns, we can learn to
cooperate

with cycles and trends and so
forth.

>> Caan: The journey of

success is about constantly
learning. It's constantly
evolving.

You have to listen, and listen
to the people around you because

sometimes you'll get clear
messages saying this just

isn't going to work and you
just want to carry on because
you read a book

somewhere that says never give
up, but I don't think it's
smart to

carry on on something that
isn't going to work and you
carry on until you've lost everything.

[ Music ]

>> Richard Branson: I think the

times that Virgin has succeeded
is when we've been much, much
better than

all our competitors and we've
created something

you know, of quality, something
which we can be really proud
of. I mean, I'm

here today in Dallas taking on
American Airlines

with Virgin America, a domestic
airline,

tiny compared to American
Airlines, but

because it's so much better, I
think it will succeed whereas
when we

took on Coca-Cola, who are also
based here

Virgin Cola, it tasted as good,
but it wasn't something that

dramatically set it apart from
Coca-Cola and

therefore, by and large, it
failed.

>> Massey: How then do you work
out where patterns are going so
that you're then able to

make better choices to support
your journey? >> Caan: Life's

all about not necessarily being
an expert on the answer,

but it's about being an expert
on the question, and I

think you can go through life
and almost be fearless,

but have the ability to ask the
right questions.

>> Massey: When I was ill,

I really tried to understand my
world. How on earth could I go

from being ill to becoming
incredibly healthy? In doing
that,

I tried a number of therapies
for at least a year, a year and
a half to

see what would happen, and I
was attending to every single
detail.

I really tried to understand my
world.

>> Birke Baehr: Just because it
has two tablespoons of tomato

paste would be considered as a
serving of vegetables.

>> Mrs. Baehr: Yeah, he's
definitely always researching
and finding out new

information and sharing it with
me and his dad.

I was logging onto my email one
day and he was beside me

and he saw something online
about mercury and high fructose
corn

syrup, and he asked me, you
know, what that was.

>> Baehr: I started looking
into it and reading the
ingredient list on

hamburgers, buns, salad
dressings, and even peanut
butter,

and finding out that high
fructose corn syrup is in almost

everything. That was pretty
much my epiphany right there,
and

I said to my mom, me as an 8
year old kid, that I'm

not going to drink sodas any
more.

Since then, I've gone deeper and

deeper down the rabbit hole and
finding out about GMOs and
pesticides and herbicides

and chemical fertilizer in the
industrialized food system.

>> Massey: Another way of
understanding your world is to
simply listen.

So Richard Branson helped set
up a group of wise world
leaders called

The Elders, and their wisdom
shows us a key lesson in

how to understand your world.
>> Branson: The main attributes
of a good

elder is to be able to listen
to other people

and not to always be pushing
your own ideas, and

you know, you learn a hell of a
lot more by listening than by

speaking, so you know, so I
think,

you know, as I've got older,
I've become perhaps a better
listener than when I

was younger.

>> DeJoria: It's more important
for people to look at the world
around

them and not just be within
into their own teeny little
world here.

Sit on your porch or sit on a
bus stop. Open up and

look at everything around you.

>> Massey: In combination with
listening to other's
information, another method

of gaining understanding is to
listen to your own intuition.

>> Branson: I think intuition
is important, and

perhaps intuition comes from
experience and

experience of falling flat on
the face and experience of

sometimes succeeding. And if
I'm deciding to do something

I don't get the countance in
advance. I just do it based on

my intuition. If I'm going to,
say, try to take over

a chunk of Britain's rail
network. Before we took it over,

it was run by British Rail. It
was dreadful.

The trains were clapped out
trains. You know,

I mean I just - my gut feeling
was if we could bring in brand
new trains,

if they could be a lot quicker,
if we could make sure

that people's mobile phones
didn't get cut off all the
time, that we could, you know,

give them good access to the
internet, if we could, you
know, get the staff

motivated, that we could make a
success of it. So you know, lot
of

it is, you know, based on -
it's almost common sense and
intuition.

>> Braden: We are still
learning.

We are deep into the learning
curve, and the irony is

that we must learn to survive
what we've created for
ourselves while

we're still learning. So for
me, it make tremendous sense to
apply what we

do know while we're studying
the principles to understand
them even deeper.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

>> Massey: All of us are born
with certain interests and
skills,

and these will start to guide
you of where you should start to

research and understand your
world. And as you do that and
you

start to learn about where the
patterns in the world are going
and you align the two,

that is when you've found your
purpose.

[ Music ]

>> Alison Pothier: And that
service that I always wanted to

make, and that contribution I
always wanted to make to this
world,

it can happen now. And so I

said bring it on, you know,
bring it bloody on.

[ Music ]

>> Scilla Elworthy: I think it
really is important to search

inside for what

satisfies us at a very deep
level, and then

there begins to come a kind of
a glow because we're

working from an inner source of
power. It's

almost like an inner power
plant inside.

>> Jack Canfield: Well, I think
we have a choice in life. I
believe that everybody's born with a purpose

and you're given a set of
skills and talents to manifest
that

purpose in life.

>> Massey: Pattern that is
aligned with purpose can simply
be one where others will benefit.

Brett now is a guiding light to
help at-risk teenagers break out

of a destructive cycle and get
onto a much more purpose-led
path.

>> Brett Moran: The plan is to
be able to talk to some of the
inmates and engage with them quite

interactively to help them sort
of understand the power of
their minds, to be able to sort of

change the course of direction
or change the path that they're
on, hopefully looking at

their selfs and the

behaviors of what's gotten them
here in the first place.
Fingers crossed, giving them

some inspiration to sort of

walk away from the talk and
sort of feel positive about
their selves, so maybe

choose some different paths and
move forward.

[ Music ]

I just sort of looked at myself
and looked to my thoughts and
my thoughts were quite mental

without realizing how mental
they really were. Then it says,
focus on your breathing,

and it's something so simple,
sounds quite pathetic, but when
I just sort of stopped

and laid in that cell, thought
okay, let's stopped breathing,
started breathing in and

out slowly from my nose and
start becoming mindful, I
started

realizing I had all these
negative thoughts going around
in my head. As a kid, I didn't get that.

I never had

that connection. I wasn't told
how good I was or anything. I
wasn't told how

great you are, how much of a
miracle it is to be you, Brett,
and how powerful

you can become if you want to
become it.

>> Juvenile: Maybe you do think
oh yeah, that's the way I've
got to be, but I'm not blame - it's all

my fault. I've always said it
is, but I get that point

that obviously that's helped
you down

that way.

>> Moran: I feel like I'm a
loner. Yeah, I do feel like I
was born bad. Yeah, I do feel like I haven't got a

chance in the world. Yeah, I
ain't no good at nothing. I'm
good at robbing, I'm good at selling

rO'Vw:bvñvB
drugs ñíNBBvj BññvB
that lifestyle, I was good at being a

prisoner, I was good at sort of
like talking the talk; I had
all the walk. I was good at all that, but

deep down I didn't feel good
about myself. Now I was always
facing that way,

there's the drug dealer, I was
facing that way, there's the
women. I never faced forward.

I never had my eyes - my eyes

.were in blinkers and I was
always negative when I was
thinking that and I was negative in

thinking that and not being good

enough, always and going to
jail and you know what? I was
creating it. As mental as this may

sound, it sounds like a film.
As mental as it may sound, you
can create anything

that you want. You can create
anything that you truly, truly
desire, but I'm saying that once you

start to use the mind and the
power of yourself, for the
positive reasons, you completely

change the course or direction
of where you're going.

If you can do that, you can do
anything. >> Juvenile 2: He
just showed us that

just because you have a bad
start in life, it doesn't mean
it' going to be like

it the whole way through your
life, whereas I thought once in
trouble with the police,

always in trouble with the
police. He just proved me wrong.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

>> Canfield: A friend of mine
recently, who studies these

things very, very deeply, asked
me, he said, 'Jack, what's the
purpose of the universe?'

I'd never been asked that
question. I said, 'Whoa, let me
think about that for a minute.'

And I kept thinking,

what do I know the universe is
doing for sure? And I thought,
the only thing I know the universe is

doing for sure is it's
expanding. We know that from
physics. So I said, 'I think

the purpose of the universe is
to expand.' And he said,
'That's right.' And

anything that supports
expansion, the expansion of
freedom, the expansion of

consciousness, the expansion of
abundance, the expansion of
love, that's going to

get supported because it's
aligned with what the universe
is doing.

[ Music ]

>> Branson: Here in Ulusaba, we
have a beautiful game reserve,
you know, one of the

most beautiful in Africa, and I
think it's very important that
if you have a

workplace anywhere in the world
that you do everything you can
to look after the

community around it. The first

major thing we did was to set
up a clinic in the area. This

weekend we actually brought a
wonderful team in to help
people hearing aids,

suddenly being able to hear in
both ears.

It was just one of the most
emotional moments of my life.

I think you get the greatest
satisfaction in life

from giving. It was like giving
life back again. It was just

incredible. You know, we wanted
to scream with happiness, and

on the way back in the vehicle,
we literally did, all

had a massive scream for
happiness. It's a great feeling.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

We bring a whole bunch of
entrepreneurs down here to

have a great holiday, have a
great time, but also just to
see how they

can help Africa.

>> Children: Sunday, Monday,

Tuesday. >> Branson: It's just
fantastic, I mean, seeing

all these kids bouncing

in there, just so excited
having a school to go to, and
then to see the happiness

in the teachers' faces and the
parents' faces. >> Woman: This
is my father,

father Enduala. So now I'd like
to thank

my father because he pays me a
fees to go to school

now. I am a manager of this
class, so I'd like to thank you

to my dad. Thank you.

>> David Hamilton: So when you
paddle into a current, you're
actually swept up by the current.

So in aligning your purpose
with understanding that as we
align ourselves with a current,

then we get swept along by that
current so we become part of
that world,

and as the world evolves, then
we evolve with that particular
world.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

>> Massey: For Alison, aligning
her

purpose meant giving up hear
wealth and status to be able to
do what she was

truly passionate about. >>
Pothier: I exited the industry
ahead

of the market collapse.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

And within months was

full-time dedicated to this
business. So I started a
retreat center

in London dedicated to helping
people

move through this journey. To
many people

it would look like I was
failing, like I was throwing
away a job.

I did, I left the city. I left
the money on the table,

the millions offered. As an
investment banker, that's what
you're leaving

on the table. I said no, I'm
folding

towels on the floor in my center

believing in me.

[ Music ]

So we - there's a

sense of starting over. There's
a new beginning.

For me, Inside Out

Retreats is my childhood dream
come to life.

Everything

that Inside Out Retreats is
offering is everything that I
needed

to come back to myself.

So it is my light after the
dark.

>> Man: The notion

of knowing what results you
want to create, actually
knowing it is very

critical because it's a moment
of commitment. And someone said
at the

moment of commitment, the
universe conspires to help you.

What that means is that at that

moment, you open up to the flow
of resources that

you were not open to
previously. >> Crowd: Speech!

>> Pothier: Well, I want to
start by saying thank you

to everybody who has made this
possible

and who has created the space
and the intention for our

community by being a community
already.

>> Woman: Well, we need to get
the shovels

so you can see the difference
between the mucky clay that's
where the land

was. >> Baehr: I feel that I
would really enjoy to have

my generation to be Generation
A. We need

to be a more healthier race of
people now

because just think, the next
generation will be Generation
Minus

0 and Minus 1, next generation.
I don't want to

have very unhealthy kids. I
want to have a healthy
environment

and healthy neighbors and
healthy people, and be able to
have the people where they

it's not boiled to where it
tastes like a bland thing with

a lot of salt. >> Mrs. Baehr:
It's really good.

>> Massey: How does it feel
when you start to change

and align your purpose?

>> Pothier: Fulfillment for me
seems to have arrived in an

internal freedom to

be self-expressed and quite at
peace with

both abundance and lack, with

both title and no title, with
no business and

a business, with just me in my

life. That is total freedom.
Now I feel like I could

show up. I spent a long time
hiding.

>> Brett Moran: It just felt
brilliant. It felt

that was the different path
that I was choosing. You know,
it felt like that's where I should be.

I found, like, the light.

That sounds a bit OTT, but I
felt like I found something
inside of me, which was my gift.

[ Music ]

>> Moran: I just felt so normal
to be able to connect with
people. Go straight

forward if you get a bit scared.

And I see beauty in the most

smallest things. When I drive
from picking my little daughter
up, there's this tree that just seems to

speak out to me. It's so
obscure that you'd notice this
tree in the middle

of the M-Free. This tree just
looks so beautiful. It's
amazing. You know, I find

beauty in silly little moments
like that. That's sort of my
mate, that probably sounds completely

mad and they'd have to take 10
pills to see that tree, but I
don't need to do that now.

I've got that buzz. Or opening
my eyes in the morning and
listen to the birds whistle

outside. I used to want to
shoot the birds because I was
so paranoid at 4 in the morning

that I could hear them start,
and I'd start to have another
paranoid day, but now

I wake up to the beauty of
listening to them birds whistle.

[ Birds ]

>> James Caan: I do truly
believe that

changing the life of one person
is like changing the life of a
nation.

You know, everything has to
have a beginning.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

>> Caan: What I want to do is
not only build the village, but
I also want to rebuild the economy

in the village. So each of the
homes that I've built,

I've made sure that everybody
in the village has been part of
that journey,

whether he's a bricklayer,
whether he's a plasterer,
whether he's just a simple laborer.

Once you do that, you're on a
journey and a journey of
recovery,

which is really what this is
about. When you actually

come here personally and you're
physically handing the

certificates out to people to
say this is now your home and
you own it, I think nothing

can replace that expression on
somebody's face, that gratitude,

but I think it's very rewarding
for me, too.

>> Massey: If people, during
their choice point, took a step
back,

examined more closely what
their purposes could be and
then realigned

those with where patterns are
going, we would much more
easily be able to turn

all of the problems in society
into solutions.

>> Newsman: A little old man
has shown himself willing to
make

a supreme sacrifice. >> Barbara
Marx-Hubbard: Gandhi

had a very strong purpose and
he was able to

get everybody to join with him.
And so if you have a strong

purpose, it's one thing to find
out what it is, and then to say

yes to it, and then you have to
make the changes in order to do
it.

Gregg Braden: One of the
fundamental principles that
comes to light again and again and

again is that when we choose to
change

something in our lives, the
healing or the health of our

bodies or the physical reality
around us,

that it's not enough to simply
think about the change, or
wish, or hope for the

change; that we must become in
our lives the very things that
we choose to

experience in our world. We
must become the healing

we must become the cooperation,
we must become the peace, and

to the best of our abilities
live that principle every
moment of every day in our

lives before we can actually
experience it in our world.

>> Jack Canfield: I think what
often happens is we always
think about the world's going to get

better only if those

people out there would change.
The fact is that change has to
start within

ourselves. There will continue
to be conflict in the outer
world as long as

there's conflict inside the
individual. >> Braden: What is
it

about myself that I'm seeing in
the world around me that I'd
like to

change? Something that maybe I
don't like in the world or I
don't like

in my family or in my workplace
or something like that.

How does that relate to
something that I

am or that I claim in my
personal life?

I think this is where the great
leaps in personal

growth occur is the honesty.

>> Pothier: I change the world
I see by first changing it

in me. It's about creating

change in the world around you
by change in your

heart, change in your belief
systems, change in your
perceptions

of the world around you, and
that is

about being the change that you
want to see in the world.

>> Branson: I think everybody
can make a difference in the
world. Some, obviously, only in

quite a small way, some in a
big way.

>> DeJoria: You don't have to
be a politician, you don't have
to be a wealthy person, you don't

have to be in power. You can be
any living thing on this world,
and if

you just walk down the street
and smiled at someone coming
your way,

you're already exchanging
happiness and giving out the
love. If you

see someone that needs a
helping hand, you don't need
money to do it. Just put

yourself there and give them a
helping hand.

>> Quinn: Everybody can make a
positive difference.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

>> DeJoria: To get away from
the power of

power and ego and go to the
power of love, and the

way you do that is you start
doing something that benefits
others

not wanting anything in return.
What you get in

return is so much love and
fulfillment that you've
accomplished this,

you have the greatest power of
them all. And it's not, 'I have
this, I

have this. Look at me,
everybody. I'm special.' The
greatest power of them all

was you were able to help
people through love, and they
love you back. That's the

greatest of all powers. And the
planet is changing right now in
that direction.

So we started Grow

Appalachia, and we planted our
first 100

gardens 2 years ago. The goal
was to take, within 5 to

7 years and feed half of
Appalachia feeding themselves.
We'd

feed them, give them equipment,
give them all the seeds they
want, and they can in return help some

of their neighbors along the
way.

>> Woman: A young man who used
to work

at the Settlement School came
to us, and he said, 'Would you
like to participate in a

gardening grant? What will
happen is that you'll get money
for

seeds, and for tools, and then
workers will come to your
garden 4

to 5 times a year through your
growing season. They'll have
workshops that will

help you to learn how grow.'
Because I knew nothing about
how to grow

anything when I first started
Grow Appalachia.

>> DeJoria: We're moving ahead.
We're exactly on target. We're
not giving away charity;

we're helping people help
themselves.

>> Woman: That first year of
Grow Appalachia, we probably
had more food than we knew what do

to with. We planted corn,
potatoes, tomatoes,

cantaloupe, which that didn't
do well. The turtle ate the
cantaloupe. I was very

mad at the turtle, and we were
able to make those last all

winter and well into the summer.

>> Woman: In central
Appalachia, there's a really
strong culture of giving, so

most families are giving away
all the produce they

grow, except what they're
eating and what they're
preserving for themselves.

People also feel that if
they've been helped by Grow
Appalachia, they should be giving back.

If John Paul's going to give us
his money, we should be giving
everybody

else our food. >> Woman: I
talked to Mom and Dad, and we -

I actually wrote a letter to

John Paul DeJoria to thank him
for giving them money for Grow

Appalachia because it was
wonderful. Sorry.

It was wonderful for our
family, and to be able to see
how

that little tiny area of land
could produce so much food

for me, it was and truly still
is, overwhelming.

And I know that a person
shouldn't get this emotional
about a garden, but

it really has been a wonderful
experience.

[ Music ]

>> Pothier: Initially, when I

had a vision to establish a
center, I thought I would be
doing it on my

own, and what came forward in
opening our doors is everyone
showing up in

themselves to exchange service.
So

we had the builder do the

walls, and we had the creative

person show up and make our
cards and see things for us.

My own sister is a graphic
designer and she said, 'Let me
help.'

All of a sudden, it gave
everyone permission to bring
their gifts forward,

to show up in exactly who they
are so we could fit together as
a

puzzle piece and make it happen.

>> Massey: A major key to

getting your life on the right
track is to align your purpose
with patterns that are much larger

than yourself, but there's
often one thing that gets in
the way, and that's

fear.

You don't even have to overcome
fear. All you

have to do is do it anyway, to
take the action, butterflies
and all.

>> Baehr: People just need to
talk out

what they can say because I had
a difference just by having a
5-minute talk on the

internet. So, just don't mind
the fear.

Go through it, and you'll have
a great time It seems to me like

corporations are always trying
to get kids like me to get
their parents to buy

stuff that isn't really good
for us or the planet I've
spoken at different

TEDx events, conferences, and
food and farming classes,

and it's just been an amazing
experience and an amazing
opportunity for me

to go out there and be able to
make a difference in the world.

[ Music ]

>> Quinn: Everyone is afraid.

It's absolutely natural, and
the people who are most
posturing

as being the toughest folks are
afraid. Someone says,

'I don't believe in that
touchy-feely crap,' you know?
And what are they saying?

They're saying, 'I know that

I've been going through life
leaving behind a trail of human
debris. I know

that I am destroying the system
I live in,

but the notion of changing
terrifies me.'

[ Music ]

>> Pothier: It got to the point
where, you know, fire me if you
don't want this, so I'm going to say

the things that other people
won't say in order to make a
difference around here,

but it would take courage

to do that. It would take
willingness to stand

exposed and look like a fool,
to say something not

only polar opposite of what the
leader is saying but also
sometimes

out of left field.

>> Elworthy: Einstein

said that we can't solve a
problem using the

same consciousness that created
it. We have to somehow shift

the perspective that we're
coming from.

I think one of

the most positive things we
could do is identify the choice
points in

each field, identify the
innovations

that are working and celebrate
them, connect them, and

continually communicate what's
working. And

invite everybody, not just the
great innovators, to

add their particular creative
contribution, and I'd like to
see

an internet site comparable to
a nervous system

for humanity. We could call it
a synergy engine,

and the synergy engine would
help people anywhere put in what

they want to create, find their
partners, add their gift

into the fields where these
great innovations are already
working.

[ Music ]

>> Massey: Choice point
movement uses a social network
built so that

those of us who want to both
change ourselves and the world
are able to

share ideas, find and then
collaborate with each other.

>> Pothier: I believe that the
in this world, one big picture that is

brought together, that
everybody serving in the

thing they were here to be and
the thing they were here to do
and to fill the

puzzle piece they are meant to
be, in their shape, size, color.

If everybody was doing that, we
could line each other up and
actually

create the picture here, a new
one, a new opportunity,

a new generation.

[ Music ]

>> Pothier: My role or my
purpose in life is

to help people come to the
individuality of them self so

they can serve and connect on
that and create this picture

of a different world.

>> Hamilton: Every single

person can bring about change.
We can all bring about change.
We are so

embedded in social networks and
life that everything that we do

is contagious. I am a great
believer in the idea

that a small group of people
with compassion and kindness in
their hearts can

change the world, and
everything from social network
research is beginning to lend

great support to that idea
because their emotions are
contagious,

our behaviors are contagious.
Every single thing that we do
is always

having a ripple effect, always
impacting on the people around
us.

>> Elworthy: If my primary
perspective is

joy and really enjoying

this life, then I want to be
with other people who are

doing that, who are energetic,
enterprising,

creative, and we will have a
ball together.

>> Massey: The population of
the world is facing

a global choice point in a time
where our individual choices
made today

have a far greater impact on
the world at large than in any
other

previous period, and the
wonderful thing about going
through this

crisis is it gives us this
amazing opportunity to take a
step back,

understand our world, and then
take the choice to align our
purpose so that a lot of the world's

problems could suddenly turn
into the world's solutions and
collectively create

the world we all want to live
in together. Together through
our individual contributions,

we are the change.

>> Braden: Each time the

cycle comes to an end, it opens

>> Desmond Tutu: And we will
want to share with

them by helping to connect
voices all over the world.

>> Richard Branson: What we're
trying to do is sort of get a
rallying cry of

everybody who's working in
businesses, who's running
businesses, to join

together to get out there and
just make a difference. Some
people a very

small difference; some people,
a big difference.

>> Pothier: We are

just so very gifted.

>> Moran: Would you do it
again? Take that leap of faith

and enjoy and embrace life. >>
Caan: We are incredibly

resourceful, and we can make
things happen.

>> Elworthy: Really the solution

is everybody finding that
deeper life purpose and going
for it.

>> Tutu: And then sending off
ripples.

>> Canfield: And knowing that
that purpose, when you're fully
aligned with it,

is aligned with the purpose of
the universe at that moment in
time, you're going to have an

extraordinary life. >>
Hamilton: I'm changing more
than my life.

I'm changing the world.

>> Braden: It opens a window of
opportunity called a choice
