Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames. Hey Will, I'm going to be an actor, man. I want to be an actor just like you. These people say stuff to me like that. I'm like, yeah, man, you know what you do is. Give me an encouraging word. But I was just sitting here thinking and it dawned on me,

99% of people that say stuff like that are not willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true. And that's just real. But at the center of bringing any dream into fruition is self-discipline. Your mind is getting command of your mind to be able to choose actions that are in your own best interest. Every day, we are choosing. It's not in our own best interest.

Right. So if the world is attacking you and the world wants to fight you and the world's trying to hold you down, that you don't stop yourself from getting what you dream. You cannot make a person happy. You can make a person smile, you can make a person feel good, you can make a person laugh, but whether or not a person is happy is deeply and totally and utterly out of your control.

Being realistic is the most commonly traveled the road to mediocrity. There's a contribution to the world inside of me that I can't reach. There's a thing that I'm supposed to be doing. There's a person that I want to be that I always saw the reflection in my grandmother's eyes, you know, of what it is, but I can't reach that thing. There's so much more that I feel that I have to offer that I can't access in myself. We tend to base our self-esteem on what other people think.

And that's not really self-esteem. Self-esteem is supposed to be how we feel about ourselves. I was just saying how dangerous it is to allow other people to determine how you're going to feel about you. There's no easy way around it, no matter how. talented you are your talent is going to fail you if you're not skilled if you don't study if you don't work really hard and dedicate yourself to being better every single day you wake up in the morning your life means something to somebody other than you to live in service not to you but to live in service to humanity

the road to success is through commitment and through the strength to to drive through that commitment when it gets hard. And it is going to get hard and you're going to want to quit sometimes, but it'll be colored by who you are and more who you want to be. Self-discipline is the center of all material success. You cannot win the war against the world if you can't win the war against your own mind. I was like, I want to be the biggest movie star in the world. I look at skill and talent separately.

Like Pete, you're born with talent. You know, it's like there's certain things that you just do naturally. You were gifted with a talent. But skill is acquired through discipline. You know, I've never seen myself as particularly talented. Where I excel is I'm willing to die in the process of acquiring skill. The concept of improving lives runs through the center of everything I do. I realized that the way to improve lives is to continually improve yourself.

Good people have to get out of the bed every day and try to empty the ocean with a ladle. It is your commitment to your personal evolution, your personal growth for the purpose of assisting others. Life is hard, right? Like, yeah, you might get hurt. Your heart might get broken. You still got to commit. Don't hesitate. Go.

Commit. You got to commit. You know, you might get hurt. You might lose something. But it's like you can't experience the joy that is intended for you in life if you don't go. We actually have to cultivate a taste for peace. We're actually addicted to life. things that agitate and aggravate us.

I'm going to be quiet. I'm going to be still, and I'm going to be alone. Pre-requisite for spending time with any person is that they nourish and inspire you. They feed your flame. Put your phone down for just a second and look around. Look to the people around you.

Are those people throwing logs on your fire or are they pissing on it? The people that you spend time with are going to make or break your dreams. Everybody don't deserve to be around you. You got to defend your life with your life. Road to sustained happiness is through disciplining your behavior. But it is for damn sure your responsibility to figure out how to take that pain and how to overcome that and build a happy life.

for yourself. Fault and responsibility do not go together. It sucks, but they don't. When something is somebody's fault, we want them to suffer, we want them punish, we want them to pay, we want it to be their responsibility to fix it, but that's not how it works, especially when it's your heart, your heart, your life, your happiness, it's your responsibility and your responsibility alone. Taking responsibility, accepting responsibility is not an admission of guilt. Taking responsibility is a recognition

of the power that you seize when you stop blaming people. And, you know, I want to be the biggest movie star in the world. I studied that and I worked down, I got my body crazy. And I did, you know, just got my head around doing everything I could do to be the biggest movie star in the world.

And then I had a taste of that. And I realized that even though I had achieved all those things, on the inside I was still that same insecure little boy. And what I realized is that the only sustainable mission throughout your whole existence is to improve lives. There weren't a lot of people I saw do things that I felt like I couldn't do. Right? When I look at people and I see things,

I don't feel like I can't, Whether or not I will is something different, but I don't ever feel like I can. Like taking responsibility is an act of emotional self-defense. Taking responsibility is taking your power back. To be that guy that does what people say can't be done. I want to be the person that is the first person there and the last person to leave. Which is success is through commitment. And God placed the best things in life on the other side of terror.

And to people who are watching, Confucius said one time, he who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right. I want you to keep in your heart, just know that you can.
