If you're going to do it, Mm-hmm Order you do get Mm-hmm More rules We're going to try To get you to follow Do it

We have We have created a fictitious ceiling, a roof To our expectations of ourselves Life's not easy We're all destined to have to do The thing that we fear the most anyway

How the money comes in Break comes now You's got to keep living, man. Going down Broadway is a one-way street. Whichever way I go. Say what you can do. Do what you say. I think I'll try it out.

Now think if you're gonna try it out beforehand, but when it's time to go, dive. Find out. Come out the other side. Don't leave it and go, if I just would, uh-uh, that keeps me up to half out of something you just don't know. Whether you failed forces you got what you want

or didn't get what you want, finding out. looking in the mirror going all the way. What you're about to say and do, we'll outlive you. Do it well. If life was nothing but green lights and we didn't have yellows or reds, things that make us pause, hardships, crises, times for introspection, then what the hell would it all be for?

We need the yellows and the reds. That's how we evolve. That's how hopefully there's some ascension to our being. If anything, I would say to my 50-year-old self, go fail more. If anything I was saying to you, go fail more. Forget them. Those people on the sidelines that are saying the thumbs down or calling you something or being snarky,

they're on the sidelines for a reason. If you're not getting past this today, this week, this month, this year, almost in a decade, because when you're still hung up, and you can't get rid of that thing. If they're holding you back from going where you want to go, maybe you should just deny the thing ever f***ap it. Kick it in the head, kick it off the curb.

I'm done with you. I'm sick of you. I'm tired of hanging out to you. I'm tired of that thing, whatever it is, holding me back from going where I want to go. Happiness is an emotional response to an outcome. If I win, I will be happy. If I don't, I won't. It's an if-then, cause and effect with pro quo standard that we cannot sustain because we immediately raise it every time we attain it. See, happiness demands a certain outcome. It is result. reliant. And I say if happiness is what you're after, then you're going to be let down frequently and you're going to be unhappy much of your time. Joy, though. Joy is a different thing. It's

something else. Joy is not a choice. It's not a response to some result. It's a constant. Joy is the feeling that we have from doing what we are fashioned to do, no matter the outcome. no freedom and light is the one that carries man I don't know that maybe too evolved for us to really grab all the rage and anger and revenge are mighty powerful emotions right yeah and this is the beauty of delayed gratification I tee yourself up do yourself in favor make the choices the purchases today that pay you back tomorrow the choices we make compounding assets of our future you need to hold yourself more accountable It is not. Don't try to make it that way like snots there. It never was. It is it now and it won't ever be. Do not fall into the trap The entitlement trap of feeling like you're a victim. You are not. Get over it and get on with it

There's a responsibility to freedom and that there is freedom in Responsibility. It is just as important where we are not as it is where we are the first step that leads to our identity in life is usually not. I know who I am. That's not the first step. The first step's usually I know who I am not. Defining ourselves by what we are not is the first step that leads us to really knowing who we are.

You know that group of friends that you hang out with? They gossip too much or kind of shady. They really aren't going to be there for you in a bitch. How about that bar? we keep going to that we always seem to have the worst hang over from. Or that computer screen that keeps giving us an excuse not to get out of the house and engage with the world and get some real human interaction. How about that food that we keep eating?

That stuff that tastes so good going down. It makes us feel like crap the next week. We're still lethargic and we'll keep putting on weight. All about that. Well, those people, those places, those things, stop giving them your time and energy. And you quit giving them your time, you inadvertently find yourself spending more time and in more places that are healthy for you, that bring you more joy. Why? Because you just eliminated the who's, the where, the what's, and the wins that were keeping you from your identity.

I promise there too many options will make a tyrant of us all. I said to get rid of the excess, the wasted time, decrease your options. If you do this, you live accidentally, almost innocently, put in front of you what is important to you by process of elimination. It's so much easier to figure out who you're not. And if you start eliminating who I'm not, by sheer mathematics, you end up. Mr. Monroe-Wills was 94 years old. And he said, he said, can you give me some advice for life? Grand Pabasist. Oh yeah, Monty.

Special advice I can give you this. I've had many crises in my life. Most of them... Never happen. He's gotta keep living, man. L-I-N. You're looking at her on that... That's the sky, I think.

Good point. How's that? Oh, sir's only dark. That's been in your life, man.
