Chapter 1: What does it mean to withdraw from distractions?

0.588 - 33.43 Unknown

There is a chapter that is on the horizon. Where you withdraw yourself from every distraction in this season of my life. It's God, me, and goals. At this juncture, nothing else matters. I gotta disappear. I got work to do. As you step into this chapter alone, my question to you is, who will you be when you come out? And what will you give back to the world?

34.338 - 55.401 Marcus A. Taylor

One of the questions you need to ask yourself is, who and what has your attention? Because not everything in your life is bringing you something, something fake from you. You have programmed yourself for entertainment and things that are pulling you away from destiny, pulling you away from purpose.

0

55.972 - 81.123 Marcus A. Taylor

And I'm just wondering if you are willing, if you are courageous enough, if you have the faith, if you're bold enough to sit down for 30 days and write down what it is that's killing you. What if you could just shut out every distraction? What if you could just shut out the world for just a season and focus on you? Is there anybody here that's willing to disappear?

0

81.644 - 102.837 Marcus A. Taylor

Can you hide yourself in the library? Can you hide yourself in the gym? Can you hide yourself in the boardroom and plan and caucus and do what is required behind the scenes in order to manifest the moment? Nobody wants to disappear for three months, four months, six months and get into a place where you can focus on just you.

102.817 - 124.487 Marcus A. Taylor

We celebrate athletes and we celebrate critical thinkers and innovators and actors and we praise them and claim them our heroes. We love what they do in public, but you don't know the story behind the glory. You don't know the blood, the sweat. You didn't see the tears that they cry, the prayers that they pray to get where they are.

124.467 - 152.348 Marcus A. Taylor

I'm just wondering if there's anybody here that is willing to go through the process in the dark room that prepares us and equips us for the stages of destiny. The world is waiting for you to manifest. I'm talking to that man, that woman, that boy, that girl that doesn't have a problem laying in obscurity because you know that when you come out of the dark room, all eyes on you.

153.965 - 187.6 Marcus A. Taylor

You have to disappear and put the work in and come back and shock everybody that doubted you. I would rather tell the world what I've done than what I'm going to do. There's enough people talking. Just make the move and don't talk until it's time for the checkmate. Move in silence.

189.605 - 212.612 Marcus A. Taylor

one of the most underrated superpowers on Earth is moving in silence, thinking in silence, caucusing in silence, meditating, praying, working on your craft, doing the dark work behind the scenes where nobody can see it, nobody can congratulate you, nobody can affirm you, nobody can celebrate you. I'm doing this thing not to be celebrated.

212.732 - 216.096 Marcus A. Taylor

I'm doing this thing not to be noticed and acknowledged and supported.

Chapter 2: How can you determine what has your attention?

216.377 - 244.333 Marcus A. Taylor

I'm doing this thing because if I don't do this, I'm not going to achieve what it is that I'm after. This is the power of moving in silence. If I'm going to move in silence, I've got to know how to plan in silence and think in silence and meditate and pray and put the work in behind the scenes. Nobody can see it but me.

246.625 - 258.856 Marcus A. Taylor

every rising star that you see, every innovator and trailblazer and creator and philanthropist and minister and business person or athlete or entertainer. We see them at this height, but we don't see the work.

0

259.156 - 289.624 Marcus A. Taylor

You were not there when they cried and they bled and they sweat and they almost quit and they almost threw in the towel and they were left alone to continue the work, to pray, to believe, to think, to caucus, to plan it out and then execute and come back and shock Everybody! I'm not going to say a word until I win. I'm not posting about it. I'm not trying to prep you. You don't need a trailer.

0

290.204 - 333.411 Marcus A. Taylor

I'm going to make an announcement that I won. Not that I'm working, but I won. Checkmate. Checkmate. Somebody shout checkmate. Somebody drop it in the comments. Checkmate. Move in silence. Drop it in the comments. Checkmate. Checkmate. Checkmate. You talked about me. You doubted me. You deserted me. You left me for dead. Watch me checkmate. And I'm going to do it in silence.

0

333.511 - 364.804 Marcus A. Taylor

As a matter of fact, I'm not going to say a word until I win. There are seasons in life where we get to that need to be played and lived out like a chess game. Don't talk until it's time. A chess player does not talk until the time has come for the checkmate. Man, drop it in the text. Checkmate, checkmate, checkmate. Stop talking about everything you ever did. Checkmate!

366.269 - 377.044 Marcus A. Taylor

Successful people have mastered the art of spending time alone. They understand the power and the leverage points.

377.905 - 400.157 Marcus A. Taylor

When I get time with myself and I get in my head and I get in my heart and I understand my behaviors and my belief systems and my parameters and what I need to do and how I need to sow and where I need to send my energy and how I need to execute in the day, they understand it's a superpower. But everybody doesn't need to know what you're doing.

Chapter 3: What is the importance of moving in silence?

400.323 - 425.452 Marcus A. Taylor

And this is why we have so many copycats and knockoffs and counterfeits and frauds because you brought people along with you that were not in your inner circle along throughout your process while you were building it instead of just revealing it after it was already done. Because this is the type of season I'm about to step into. You talked about me. You doubted me. You deserted me.

0

425.652 - 458.25 Marcus A. Taylor

You left me for dead. Watch me checkmate. And I'm gonna do it in silence. As a matter of fact, I'm not gonna say a word until I win. Just show up and be finished with it. Stop telling the world every step of the process and you haven't won yet. Win! Win! Win! And after you win, then let them interview you. Let the contracts drop on the table. Let the documentary come out. But win without a word.

0

458.27 - 484.26 Marcus A. Taylor

And when you win, checkmate, checkmate, checkmate. Understand your limitations. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Where are you losing? Where are you winning? How do you need to change your beliefs to align with the correct behaviors? What type of behaviors and parameters and values do you need to have established and hardwired within yourself?

0

484.921 - 504.413 Marcus A. Taylor

Who do I need to become to accomplish what it is I've been destined to do? When you spend that time alone and you can think and you can pray and you can meditate and everybody's not in your mix, you're able to grow something that could leave a legacy and impact the lives of millions of people.

506.074 - 532.339 Marcus A. Taylor

Never underestimate the power of getting alone with yourself and getting dialed in with what you've been called to do and then how you're going to go about doing it. Oftentimes we find the person who's living paycheck to paycheck doesn't want to think. They just want to work and get paid. It's the millionaires and billionaires and six figure earners.

533.247 - 555.587 Marcus A. Taylor

and networkers and busy bees and people that are out there shaking hands, stepping into rooms and arenas, building products, creating opportunity, innovators, trailblazers. These are the people that have spent time alone thinking. about what it is they've been called to do and how they're going to execute. They moved in silence. They thought alone.

555.627 - 577.693 Marcus A. Taylor

They prayed alone, just for a moment, just for a season. Nothing wrong with getting together with friends and family and having a corporate construct, but There is an unfair advantage when I can get along with myself and I can talk to myself in the mirror and tell myself, self, you got stuff to do. Self, you have things to become. Self, there are ways you have to go about this.

577.713 - 588.685 Marcus A. Taylor

And you need to be flexible. You need to be agile. Is God first in my house or nothing else? We start to establish our values and we start to understand ourselves and what makes us tick.

588.665 - 618.251 Marcus A. Taylor

everybody doesn't need to know all the moving parts and the pain and the tears and the sacrifice that you have made just show up on stage and win and after you win then you can talk about how you won if your dream only requires you then it's not big enough it starts with you but it doesn't end with you your team is coming Drop it in the comments man. My team is coming, but it starts with me.

Chapter 4: How do successful people utilize solitude?

687.182 - 718.421 Unknown

There are going to be many things that's going to hold you back and slow you down from your progress. But if you're not taking the time and taking the necessary steps to get there, then you will never see what's beyond that horizon. Moving in silence is the best way to do your business. Because when it's all said and done, ladies and gentlemen, it's your business.

719.502 - 750.364 Unknown

Whatever it is that you are seeking in your life, be quiet from time to time. Sure, you can share some information with people, but not everybody needs to know your business because your business is yours and it doesn't belong to anyone else. Whatever you are doing out there right now, if you're moving in a positive direction, keep doing exactly what you need to do.

0

751.576 - 793.673 Unknown

But do not allow outside interference to hinder you from your success. There is power within you. There is uniqueness within you. There is strength within you. Just be quiet and go forward. Be what you need to be. Hold on to everything that you possess within yourself and do your work. Most people don't want to go to that extra mile. Most people don't want to find that extra because it sucks.

794.354 - 819.18 Unknown

It's miserable. It's lonely. You talk about that you were lonely by yourself. I was the same way. And that used to hurt me growing up. Now I thrive in that shit. That's the only place to be. It's that one time where I have an hour, hour and a half every day. It's dark out. It's quiet. I don't have my phone. There's no notifications. My mind is clear.

819.981 - 841.315 Kobe Bryant

My name is Kobe Bryant. I'm 17 years old, and I wasn't invited to parties or, you know, friendly gatherings on the weekend. So on Fridays and Saturdays, I would go in my rec room with my basketball and basically dribble myself to sleep. And I think that that was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

841.335 - 850.323 Kobe Bryant

Because during those lonely hours in the rec room, I discovered the hunger, the motivation, and the desire to be the best possible basketball player that I could be.

851.024 - 873.374 Unknown

When I get alone with myself, when I get alone with my thoughts, I realize I've made solitude a monster. Masquerading in my life is a constant reminder that I am not enough. When the truth is... Salitude is a gift.

873.394 - 891.713 Marcus A. Taylor

Admit it, you aren't like them. You're not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the normal people as they go about their automatic existences.

892.033 - 912.01 Unknown

The one companion that's always going to be with you is yourself. I believe that the most important daily practice that any one of us can do in the 21st century is a daily practice of solitude. I want to say solitude, I'm simply talking about time with yourself.

Chapter 5: What strategies can help in achieving personal goals?

1090.223 - 1112.333 Marcus A. Taylor

that you will have a desire and hunger to master something, to work smart and not just hard. Release what God has given you. Master one thing at a time. Everything that is within us, we give to an idea. When we can get along with ourselves, we can execute relentlessly.

1113.427 - 1134.293 Marcus A. Taylor

Because whatever it is that's been fighting your bloodline, whatever it is that's been running through your family, I pray that your testimony is that it ran in your family until it ran into you. And the moment that it ran into you, it got a rude awakening. We can be steady and persistent under pressure.

1134.313 - 1151.411 Marcus A. Taylor

We won't buckle or grow fatigue if we can understand our design and how to faithfully fulfill the assignment that is on our life.

1151.431 - 1166.175 Unknown

Not everybody needs to know your every move, your every step. Because sometimes there are outsiders that will come in and they will distract you from your destiny.

0

1168.497 - 1188.237 Unknown

When you quiet yourself, when you turn down the value from all of the things that are holding you back and turn up the value within you and knowing that you have all you need within yourself to push forward, then all things are possible.

1189.077 - 1214.595 Marcus A. Taylor

So if I can tell you anything in this moment, it will be to divorce distractions. Living vicariously through the lives of people that are posting on social media, not their journey, not step by step, not the process, but they're posting their highlight reels. They're showing you the best of their life. And you're comparing your worst days to their best days. You're distracted.

1215.233 - 1243.521 Marcus A. Taylor

Get off social media for a moment. Anybody that built something significant in the age of social media took a step back, they unplugged, they uninstalled the app for a season, You gotta live at the edge of your abilities. Constantly challenging yourself to jump higher, leap farther, run faster, to break through, not to go around.

1244.142 - 1269.397 Marcus A. Taylor

If we're going to manifest the future that we see in our heads and hold it in our hands, then we have to rewrite the code. We've gotta unlock new paradigms, new behaviors. Beat on your craft and work on yourself so diligently, so vigorously, so energetically, so dynamically, so very strategically that we force ourselves to achieve.

1270.638 - 1296.35 Unknown

Just be quiet and work in silence. This is all that is needed from you. So whatever life has for you, And you stand up and you work hard and you keep moving and you keep believing and you stay powerful.

Chapter 6: Why is it essential to build in the dark?

1659.198 - 1688.732 Marcus A. Taylor

Yeah, you have those friends that come out to support you and tell you how great you are. But when they're driving off, leaving from the event, they're saying to themselves, I can do that better than him. Or I can do that better than her. Disappear and do the work that is required. Sometimes you gotta take a break from just about everything, disappear, come back, and shock the world.

0

1689.693 - 1721.976 Marcus A. Taylor

You've been surrounded by individuals that call themselves your friend. They're just another person that wants to tell you that you cannot accomplish your dreams. Are you worth my time? If you're not, it's time to unplug. Time to unplug. Time to unplug. This is the process when you have to reset and when you have to ghost everyone.
