5 Rules for the Game of Life

What are the rules of life, the standard values needed to live a happy, purposeful and meaningful life? In this episode of The Charged Life, high performance coach and motivational legend Brendon Burchard shares his five rules:

1: Have vision for your life.
2: Believe in your ability to figure things out.
3: Have fun making our dreams happen no matter how hard it gets.
4: Be patient but always persistent.
5: Respect and love other people who are also playing this same game of life

This is Brendon filmed in one take without prompter or notes.

Brendon Burchard is one of the most widely followed personal development trainers of our time, and in the Top 100 Most Followed Public Figures on Facebook. He is a #1 New York Times bestselling author whose books include The Charge, The Millionaire Messenger, and Life’s Golden Ticket. He is the founder of High Performance Academy, the legendary personal development program for achievers, and Experts Academy, the world’s most comprehensive marketing training for authors, speakers, coaches, and online thought leaders. For these works, Larry King named Brendon "one of the top motivation and marketing trainers in the world."

After a car accident at 19 years old inspired him to turn his life around and follow his dreams, and then having the blessings to become a multimillionaire writer and trainer by the age of 32, Brendon has dedicated his life to helping others find their charge and share their voice with the world.

every morning when I wake up, I watch one of these videos to give me strenght to get through the day

I'm sorry but I see some idiots here complaining about Brendon. If you don't like him why watch him? There are plenty of other videos that you can watch. this is what I understand in our society, he invests money and energy to give us inspiration and ideas and you sit in front of your laptop broke and saying he is not successful?
He doesn't have to prove anything to you. The guy is awesome, even if he made £10 or £10million, he inspires people and has an audience that adores him. Well done to you Brendon, keep the good work and thank you for inspiring us :)

I've had a change in mentality about a year ago, and since then there has been a series of events and realizations that allow me to continue progressing in my direction. The universe keeps bringing 'things' (events, circumstances, people, music, videos etc..) into my life that continue to add value into my life.

What I'm trying to say is, you don't necessarily know what 'things' will enter your life.. you don't know how these 'things' will effect you, but everything will be entering and exiting your life for a reason, and that reason will inevitably bring you closer to the vision of the future you've created for yourself.

Brendon!
I have never not skipped an advertisement on a video until this one started playing. Its really weird, because I was thinking, at that precise moment, about my life, and where it's headed. When you started by talking about "having vision, " you captivated me. I've always had a vision, even though its changed as I learned more and more about myself, others, and what my dreams really mean. 

Every single one of your points after the first seemed to speak directly to me, or rather describe the last 3 years of my life. One point in particular that struck me was number 2. To succeed, you have to put yourself in difficult situations, and learn to swim. We, as human beings, are very resilient creatures and we can adapt to most anything. I've always thrown myself into deep waters, not knowing how to swim, with pleasure; I knew that I would find a way to adapt. I am focused and persistent, but starting to question my vision, what I really need and want in life. I think that this is because of one point that you didn't mention in your video: 

Burnout! What do you do when you focus so much on your vision, and you are so persistent that you can't take it anymore, and perhaps develop a dislike to your vision?

I love how positive you are, it's brilliant

"You will figure it out...
YOU WILL FIGURE IT OUT!!!"

This image of u in video is stuck in my head, whenever m in a critical situation it comes automatically to my mind 'You will figure it out!"
and it has helped me so much can't even tell u.

Thank you so much Brendon,
blessings from India. :)

Good points on not trying to rush things but being consistent with what your working on. Everything today seems to be trying to sell us on getting instant gratification. Instead we need to learn to enjoy the process and the struggles we go through. The time it takes to get what we actually want should be our happiness. Achieving our goal is the icing on the cake. Thanks for the video. -Ricky

Beyond his voice Brendon has his eyes to talk to us. His clarity and presence gives us the motivation to find our own path.

At the end of the day, all that matters is love! It is heavenly. This man teaches how that's gonna be practical.

[evybrescia]

I'm truly addicted to Brendon!!! Great inspiration, real guy, voice you can listen to... I listen while on the treadmill or when waking my dog each day since I found him! Can't wait for the book!

[luzrodriguez]

I literally cry!!! I just watch this video for my first time and I really want to become a better person not just for me but for my mom too.He is amazing.I really liked his videos.

This is something that I've been thinking to know Mr. Brendon already listed down. I know if I search for a word about motivation; I would definitely find a great speech somewhere on the net. This is simply put as you nailed it.
