projecting yourself forward to see what are the consequences of failing, what are the consequences of stopping is about as powerful of a motivation strategy as I can think of. Because what you're doing is you're trying to optimize right now to stop the discomfort. But what you're going to pay for that in is shame and guilt and regret long term. So what you need to be able to do is bundle all of that up that is as yet unfelt, but will last for way, way, way longer. You know, the future is much longer than now. The future is going to extend out up until the day that you die. And the now is just for now.

And even 130 hours is just 130 hours. And you get to look back. And do you look back with pride and glory? Or do you look back with shame and guilt? The reason you need profound things is because life is actually a profound problem for everyone. I mean, you can shelter back and live a very conservative existence. And it doesn't stop you from having to face the ultimate questions of life. It would be better if you could, I think, if you could confront them full on.

There are going to be times when you're in an emergency room and, you know, prone to panic and to cry and to breakdown and to collapse and to be of no use to anyone around you. And that's not the right way to be. The right way to be in a situation like that is to be strong and reliable. And I don't think you can do that without being wise. At some point in life, we've got to wake up and we got to say no more. We have to wake up and we got to say, man, this is it. You got to wake up and say, I'm going to make a change the difference. We can't just be online watching things, saying amen.

you know, all the things and go back to the same things, y'all. It doesn't work like that. Hearing things is great, but you know what? Doing things and taking action, that's what going to make change in your life. You need to start making some decisions. You ain't got to change everything, but you need to say, you know what, this is the one thing that I'm going to stop being loyal to, and this is the one thing I'm going to start being lower to.

You've had enough disappointment. Sometimes your brain doesn't want to get disappointed, so it's a permanent problem. No problem is permanent. Only your soul is permanent. Nothing's forever. Everything changes, everything eventually ends, and something new begins.

That's part of life. Those are the seasons of life. You have to lose your fear of failure. Failure is part of the process. People who never fail, never try. You have to fail. You got to get it wrong to get it right. You learn nothing from winning.

You only learn from your failures. You must make moves in life. You cannot remain the same. Who you've been and who you were is not sufficient for where you're going. You must change. The environment that you grew up in is not one that you're trapped in. Because no one else won, no one else made it, doesn't mean that you won't, doesn't mean that you can't. What it means is that it's time for you to get sick and tired of seeing the same old same thing.

Get frustrated with what was. Get excited about what can be. Your past is behind you, but it is a roadmap of what to do and what not to do. It was a lesson teacher. something that trained you for where you are today. But where you are today is just a pit stop. Refuel, recharge. Get over the trauma from the drama from your past.

Use it as fuel to keep going. There are other laps in life that you must take. There are other people that you must pick up and provide passage safe for your family. Because it begins with you. It only takes one person to start a new chain. that you were born to do something great with your life, that you're enough, that you're special, that you're favored, that you're chosen, regardless of where you come from, regardless of what you've

been carrying with you. But every day, some of us are killing ourselves with the shame we carry from something we've done, some humiliation, some fear. We put this gun to our head every day that tells us we're not enough. We're not strong enough, pretty enough, smart enough, favored enough, that we're doomed. and we carry these guns in our head every day that shame us, that take our confidence from us, that steal our joy. And there's a better way forward.

You can put those things down in your life. You could decide today that you were born to do something great. Without commitment, you'll never start. But more importantly, without consistency, you'll never finish. Keep working, keep striving, never give up, fall down seven times, get up eight. Ease is a great.

a threat to progress than hardship. In life, you don't have just one shot. You see, the only difference between you and anybody that has created the things that you want in life is that they just kept shooting over and over and over and over again until they got what they wanted. In life, you have an infinite number of shots. Lots of hierarchies to attempt to climb and if you have a lot of hierarchies to attempt to climb and if you If you fail in one, go try and another.

But the point is, you're still trying to aim for the top, and what the hell are you going to do if you don't try to aim for the top? You know, flap about uselessly and whine about your life? It's not helpful. It'll just make you miserable. You're not reliable to anyone. You can't help out in a crisis. I don't care what you're going to do, but go out there and make something of yourself, for God's sake.

Be an honest person and work and get to the top of whatever it is that you want to get to the top of. You know, and stand up for yourself like a respectable human being and be a bit of a light on the world instead of a blight. There are people who come in your life sometimes to be there for a season. They weren't meant to be there always. Sometimes we find ourselves hooked up with people that we think are there for a lifetime, but they were only supposed to be there for a season. There are people who come in your life like boosters for a rocket. If you ever watch a rocket go into space, the boosters fall off when it reaches a certain altitude. People are not equipped to handle the altitudes that you're going to.

So don't be afraid when they fall off. They're not bad people. They just couldn't go where you're going. The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination. When you love the journey, the goals just happen. You hit milestones as a side effect because it doesn't matter. At that point, I don't care if I can lift this much weight or run this fast. I mean, that's cool, but I don't love it as much as I love the journey.

I love the journey. What does the journey consist of? Sucking at something, failing, getting better, learning, start it over, do it again. When you fall in love with the journey, everything else takes care of itself.
