"If you're complaining about something that already happened you're wasting your time"
Just what I needed
When I was younger I always hated TED talks because they’d play them in school all the time. 15 now and I can’t stop watching. It’s amazing how much you can learn from these people. Props to this great guy for bringing such a great lesson to everyone.
"The strongest force in the human personality, is the need to remain consistent with how you define yourself."
I can't even process the dude's mentality. He's so high on the emotional maturity level.
"Freedom is a state of mind, and nobody can take that away from you" - more important than ever these days
"Behavior follows mindset. Not skillset". That hit.
Your environment never defines you, it simply gives you the opportunity to define yourself. Wow
Going through something right now and stumbled upon this. I cried during this talk from gratitude. This definitely hits different when you are weathering the storm. Peter Sage always comes through with the wisdom.
everything i needed to hear after years of panic attacks
As soon as i was arrested i thought (Who i am and what i want is now irrelevant) I did not turn my self back on until the day i was released. Ashamed to say i was a Criminal that deserved it, but now proud to say i am not any more.
You have taught me to accept where I am in life today.
My eyes popped open when he said change the mindset! Exactly! A close family member of mine needs to watch this! I’m so happy I clicked

AMAZING talk, so very inspirational! (Best part? “I’ve never seen anybody so happy on their first day of prison!”)
If you enjoyed this, you should get his book, The Inside Track. I’ve been doing personal development for almost two decades and everything I need is in this one book. I’ve read it four times and it’s my go to book when I’m being tested by “earth school” Peter’s teaching add significant value to my human experience which isn’t always cupcakes and awesomeness
Anyone who has read the famous book Think and Grow Rich knows that every adversity carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. Peter’s inspiring story is a stunning example of how to apply this concept in the real world and turn an obstacle into an opportunity to help others! Bravo!
KZhead always gives me what I need
This man is so powerful. THANK YOU!
Thanks Peter. You are the real deal. There are only a few coaches outside who are able to walk the talk in those circumstances. You live what you teach and its a pleasure to have you as a teacher. Thanks again for this inspiring video. And btw I think it was a gift for the inmates to have you there.
