MOTIVATION | Conor McGregor: The Law of Attraction and Confidence

0:00 my name is conor mcgregor and i live in

0:01 logan and what's your

0:04 style what's your profession i'm a

0:06 professional mma fighter with a record

0:08 of four and one and

0:12 i'm an up-and-coming fighter and without

0:14 a doubt you will see me on the ufc in

0:16 the near future without a deal

0:22 you can have anything you want if you

0:24 want it badly enough

0:26 you can be anything you want to be do

0:28 anything you set out to accomplish if

0:29 you hold to that desire with singleness

0:31 of purpose and i've always had visions of better

0:37 i've always visualized better and in times of struggle

0:42 like driving around driving down in a

0:45 banger of a car that i had to push

0:47 start i'd be still driving a soft top

0:51 any around be over california

0:54 in my head and long bald

0:58 now i am driving a beautiful soft up

1:00 enemy around california [Music]

1:02 i always visualized good things i always

1:05 visualize victory success abundance

1:12 i visualized it all and it's all

1:14 happening here we are yeah in front of

1:16 that arena you know if you have a clear

1:17 like if you have a clear picture in your

1:19 head if something is is going to happen

1:22 and a clear belief in that it will

1:24 happen no matter what

1:26 then no nothing can stop it you know it

1:28 is destined to happen and that that's

1:29 what that's what happens

1:31 you know it's it's perfect

1:32 congratulations thank you uh i was

1:34 asking you on thursday about his right hand

1:38 can i tell you what you told me i said

1:40 his right hand would get him into

1:41 trouble it's the shot i predicted

1:43 i said he'd overload on his right hand i

1:44 said i'd slip i said i'd bang the left

1:46 hook left hook and that's what happened word

1:49 for word you said i felt when we stared down i

1:53 felt his right hand was twitching

1:55 which was a subtle tell for me he is

1:57 ready to unload that right hand and i

1:59 feel that could be a downfall for him

2:01 if he lets that right hand go i will not

2:04 be there i simply enter the way i enter and that

2:07 is enough they either overextend

2:09 or they shrink away but either way it is

2:11 not good for them

2:12 i will create traps and dead space

2:14 inside that octagon and i will walk him into that dead space

2:19 but all of a sudden he will be in danger

2:22 how do you do that

2:26 if you can see it here and you have the

2:28 courage enough to speak it

2:31 it will happen so i see these shots

2:35 i see these sequences and i don't shy

2:37 away from them a lot of times people believe in certain

2:40 things but they keep to themselves

2:42 they don't put it out there you truly

2:45 believe in it if you become vocal with it you are

2:49 creating that law of attraction and it

2:51 will become reality i believe in myself so

2:55 much that newton is going to stop me i mean that's

2:59 just the way it is it's 24 7 in my head

3:00 i always think about i'm

3:02 always doing i don't do anything else

3:04 i'm known that knowing that that i have that

3:07 kind of mentality about it

3:08 that's what gives me confidence going in

3:09 there you know i've already visualized

3:12 what what's what's ahead of me here i've

3:14 already visualized the my hands getting wrapped and what may be

3:19 walking out to the lanes walking out of

3:21 the cage a visual i can see everything i can see

3:24 of course i visualize the belt man that

3:26 belt again that belt is on me up 24 7.

3:29 it's a fight at the end it doesn't

3:31 matter who there is no opponent there's

3:32 no jose out there

3:33 it's jose aldo there's no no one you're

3:36 against yourself you know what i mean you're against

3:39 yourself and uh and i just feel like i'm able to

3:45 beat myself yeah i don't just knock them out i

3:48 picked around john yeah i said this

3:50 i'm sure you are probably all thinking

3:51 in your head this guy is talking

3:53 absolute dribble he's not going to do

3:55 what he says he's going to do he's

3:56 probably all sitting there thinking that

3:58 but now here we are again

4:00 and i don't know what i said i was gonna

4:01 do i feed off this i feed off this

4:03 i love this stuff this is what gives me

4:05 energy saying i'm gonna do something

4:08 same putting it out there for the world

4:10 to see and then going out and doing it there's

4:13 no better feeling in the world than that

4:15 and it's as easy as that

4:16 say what you're gonna do and go and do

4:18 it it's a beautiful feeling

4:20 when preparation meets opportunity you

4:23 know nothing nothing is impossible you know i mean

4:26 you can you can achieve anything

4:28 now i'm happy i'm happy doing what i'm

4:29 doing i'm going to continue going on

4:31 this journey and if the title shot is

4:33 next i will take it if not at the end of the

4:36 day i already feel like that is mine

4:38 i already feel like that belt is mine

4:40 true just two two years in the gym true true wins true

4:44 losses through life i just realized that if you say it to

4:47 yourself and you look yourself in the

4:49 eye and look yourself in the mirror and

4:50 truly truly believe that not a man alive can beat you and

4:53 that that is the way it is and and

4:55 just through true hours in the gym and

4:57 preparation i feel that i am untouchable

4:59 right now you're going to be an irish legend my

5:01 friend yeah yeah i'm i am an irish lady that's true i'm a

5:06 living legend yeah i see myself as the

5:08 champ already already the you're the featherweight

5:11 champion already of course i see myself

5:12 as the champ from day one before i even

5:14 started training i always saw myself as

5:16 the champion that's how i see myself i've visualized

5:19 myself already there i visualize everything i've visualized

5:22 this conversation i visualize the

5:24 workout i visualize everything going on

5:26 i know i have shots picked out that i'm gonna

5:28 throw in this fight in five weeks

5:30 you know i i've seen everything in my

5:32 head and now it's gonna happen you see it in your

5:34 head you're gonna see it before your

5:36 eyes that's what i say

5:37 could you fight tomorrow you seem right

5:39 you seem like you're going to jump out

5:40 of the screen right now and fight me

5:41 stay ready so i don't have to get ready

5:43 i'm ready to go

5:46 oh my god i'm ready to go yeah you know

5:49 adversity causes some men to break and

5:52 others to break records and

5:53 uh i chose to be the second one you know

5:56 what i mean so

5:57 that's the that's the way i look that i

5:58 just looked at it as another challenge

5:59 and excellence is it

6:01 isn't it is not a skill excellence is an

6:03 attitude i mean it's all in your head you know you take

6:07 yourself you are what you are whatever you tell

6:10 yourself you know what i mean

6:12 i'm telling myself i'm the two-way champ

6:15 i mean that that's that

6:16 i appreciate your surroundings and be

6:18 grateful for it and that's when good

6:20 things happen you know

6:21 to have that bitterness and that

6:22 negativity then then things have gone bad and i mean so

6:26 i i think the fact that i have them thoughts and

6:29 in fact i appreciate everything and i'm

6:31 grateful for for the things around me and the way

6:34 things are going that is why that's why it's going so

6:37 good for me prepared

6:38 i knew i was going to be the person to

6:40 bring martial arts to the public eye

6:42 and now it's happening you know i mean

6:44 there's two things i've learned from all

6:45 from these past seven months

6:46 number one is the hard work pays off and

6:49 number two is that dreams come true

6:51 and that's what's happening when i was a

6:52 kid i was visualized

6:54 or something and like even when i was

6:56 playing football i'd kick the ball

6:57 against the wall and i'd

6:58 pretend i scored a goal and i'd run off

7:00 and i'd be raising my hand and visualizing a arena

7:05 full of fans that was something i'd done as a kid on

7:08 my own but of course because you have to

7:10 do that you have to battle with this

7:12 this is the law of attraction you have

7:14 to in the struggle you know when when

7:18 things are going good and you visualize

7:20 these good things happen

7:21 you visualize more good things happen

7:22 that's easy what's not easy to do

7:25 is when things are going bad and you're

7:27 visualizing the good stuff

7:29 and that that was what i was able to do

7:30 i was able to you know even though

7:32 i was having these troubles at home and

7:34 even though i know real i had no job no

7:36 you know what i mean or whatever didn't

7:38 know what actually what i was doing if

7:39 it didn't happen it didn't happen but

7:42 i still was able to feel like it was i

7:44 still was able to go into a different

7:46 just like you might use my imagination

7:48 like a kid would use his imagination

7:50 i was basically just using my

7:51 imagination driving a a little pure my

7:56 girlfriend's car that killed your 2016

7:58 that was driving that shaking down the

8:00 road and i visualized that

8:01 and i swear to god sitting in the

8:02 traffic and on i visualized

8:05 i'm sitting here on the steering wheel

8:07 visualizing a brand new car and

8:09 visualizing good things in in in times of struggle and that

8:13 that when you can do that i think that

8:16 really makes the the that law of

8:18 attraction work i think it really

8:19 attracts to you more

8:21 you know because that is harder to do

8:23 when you're in the struggle to visualize

8:25 these things what do you want to be now

8:30 what what do you want to be i don't i

8:32 don't want to be anything i

8:34 i am i am what i i am everything i want

8:37 to be and i'm already there i don't

8:40 i don't want anything you know people

8:42 say people say like

8:44 i want this i want to do this and i want

8:48 to do that but

8:49 the 5 year point is one you're always

8:52 going to want i always have the action that i have and

8:55 i always again i always felt like i was the black

8:58 belt you know what i mean i always felt like

9:02 i was the world champ and i always felt

9:03 like i already could do everything i was only

9:06 telling you about the scoffing the other

9:07 day got the random walking around walking

9:10 around like i was a[ __] pro

9:12 i mean but i don't i don't want anything

9:14 i have everything that doesn't matter

9:16 i mean i have everything i have

9:18 everything i doing everything i said i was going to

9:21 do i was a laughter

9:24 i was literally laughed out to win that

9:26 second world title when i first came into i was going to

9:29 take these two world titles down laugh

9:31 that that's never going to happen an irish

9:33 man even winning the ufc

9:35 when i said that i was laughed at so i

9:38 said i was going to win the two world

9:39 titles i won them

9:41 i done everything i said i was going to

9:42 do i every every move is a calculated

9:45 step make no mistake about that it's only

9:48 well it's only january of 2017

9:51 i'm already the face of the ufc i'm

9:54 already to the face of boxing

9:55 i'm already to face in the wwe and i'm

9:58 already on the face of hollywood

10:04 and that's only january that's only

10:07 january but in the media i stayed many times

10:12 all the way up it's a dream just to

10:14 climb above that cage and raise them to

10:16 your belts that was in every interview i've ever

10:18 done so when i won the fight and they strapped

10:22 that then receiver situation

10:24 when i grabbed the two belts was before

10:26 i'd even got one belt yes yes that's how

10:29 much your power to visualize hey that's

10:30 that's how strong the power of

10:32 visualization is i wasn't even a ufc world champion at

10:35 that time and already i was grabbing two

10:37 of them and flaunting it in everybody's face i

10:40 believed it was going to happen i put

10:41 the work in for it to happen

10:43 and it happened so it's a strong thing

10:46 the power of visualization

10:47 that[ __] has been a part of my[ __] since i'm 16

10:51 15 16 and start trying to play with that

10:53 start trying to start trying to visualize things i used

10:56 to drive into a car park and try and visualize a car

11:01 spa right next to the door and try and get

11:04 that car spot and return visualize

11:06 i've been playing with that law of

11:08 attraction and visualization a long time

11:10 so since i'm 16 since i first discovered

11:12 it if you can see it here even the other

11:15 day i left my home

11:17 and like i was flustered leaving the

11:20 home i had to rush before i had to catch

11:22 a flight here i tried to rush into town and i was in a

11:25 hurry panicking i got pulled up over the old bill in

11:29 a sweat and then i hit the city ender

11:32 and then i hear a traffic jam

11:34 i'm seeing it's like when you when you

11:36 feel that rush or when you feel you know it just it

11:39 just keeps going and going and going so

11:41 i just sit and count to ten

11:43 patient and then everything opened up

11:44 for me and i rolled through so i don't

11:46 know it's been a part of my life a long

11:47 time i've been playing with it

11:49 i can't pinpoint an actual moment but i

11:51 tell you what it[ __] works

12:02 you
