Starting point is 00:00:00 I think the best men are those who've been broken by life and have pulled through, have come out the other end. Why? Because they've been forced by circumstances to drop the illusion of their strength and power. They've known that they couldn't keep that going. They've hit rock bottom and they've had to reach out and say, I can't cope. I am in infantile position. Help me.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Men become rather glorious when that's happened to them. But don't ever sell out for the temper of reward of what the opportunity is today. Believe in the bigger picture. Believe that all these things are just moments building the wave. A big moment to come. Always plant the seeds of hard work and integrity and honor. Today and then every day you water them in yours for them. believe in them.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Because if you wake up every day and tell yourself that you're powerful, I guarantee you you will start feeling powerful, but every day you wake up and you start your day by saying that you hate yourself. You wake up every day and say, I am the way I am because of what I went. You wake up every day and self-identify with your trauma because it is easier to stay hurt than it is to heal.
Starting point is 00:01:28 It is easier to keep the knife inside the wound, then pull it out and bleed out every single ounce of pain that you ever went through. That is easier. that you went through something bad and you believed them. You won't die. And if you do die, you won't care because you'll be dead. Best case you win, worst case, it won't matter.
Starting point is 00:01:52 If you believe it, if you really believe that you could be something, if you have that little voice in your head saying, hey, you got talent, you could do this. Then follow that voice. My notion of human well-being is really open-ended. I don't think we understand what the horizon is, if in fact there is one for kind of ultimate flourishing of conscious minds. We have a pretty good sense of what we don't want and our right not to want.
Starting point is 00:02:36 We don't want to be terrorized and depressed. The generic situation we want to find ourselves in more and more is to effortlessly cooperate with creative and happy strangers. Right? There's seven billion of us. We need institutions and laws and norms and ways of thinking that take the friction out of pleasurable and non-paranoid interaction with strangers.
Starting point is 00:03:04 It's not just about having five or so close friends who have your back, right? I mean, clearly we're all on the same team, on some basic level. And if we can't figure out how to build a civilization where everyone thrives to some degree
Starting point is 00:03:21 will have the world we currently have. We're in a situation now where I think it's reasonable to worry that our default state of partisanship and tribalism and rational fear of the incompatible aims
Starting point is 00:03:40 of other groups and other people is unsustainable. in the presence of more and more destructive technology. I just think we have to get our act together psychologically and socially in a way that we haven't yet. Philanthropy is when it's telescopic in this way, when you're just signing a check, you're not necessarily connected to the good you're doing. And I can imagine someone doing immense good in the world by signing very large checks, but not actually internalizing the gratification of that.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Some level we have to be aware of the possibility of rowing in two-boat simultaneously. is what the effects are in the world of how we're living. So we want to have a good impact on others, but we actually want our conscious states of psychological pain and pleasure to be mapped in some rational way to the kinds of effects we're having. Having our beliefs map onto reality to some degree is obviously good, because if they're not, you're just,
Starting point is 00:04:43 bumping into hard objects. Your map is completely wrong. You are bound to suffer. So we have to be in a situation where radical ignorance can't people is. It may be useful to have a slightly delusional
Starting point is 00:04:58 self-serving bias, right? To think you're coming off better than you are. It may give you more enthusiasm for your life, for more confidence. That's one for instance. So I think we want our beliefs to be true in some basic sense, and therefore we want to be open to new evidence and better arguments, perpetually. If you close yourself off, if you say, well, listen, I'm done, I'm done thinking about reality,
Starting point is 00:05:24 and I know what's true, then again, when more data comes in, you know, when something surprising, when one of your intuition is true to be faulty, if you can't error correct, again, you're just going to fall out of alignment with what's going on in the world and what other people think is true. So really the only mechanism we have to do that is human conversation. We have to be open to having other people point out errors in our thinking. And in the conversation we have with ourselves, we have to do like what. We have to be continually open to the possibility that we might be wrong. And in fact, we're very likely to be wrong a lot of the time. And so then, you know, then hence the virtue of getting educated and surrounding yourself with smart people,
Starting point is 00:06:11 and reading good books and just exposing yourself to the kinds of lessons that other people have learned over thousands of years and are learning in real time. Most of what people care about can be thought of as a skill.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Well-being is a skill, not suffering unnecessarily as a skill. Regulating, noticing your emotional life and regulating negative emotion is a skill. So I have a meditation app and meditation is a skill it was a very useful one,
Starting point is 00:06:42 and I'm spending a lot of time teaching what's now referred to as mindfulness meditation. And the moment you begin practicing mindfulness, which is just learning to pay close attention to the nature of your experience, not adding anything to your experience, you're just noticing what is like to be you moment to moment, but in a way that is not reactive,
Starting point is 00:07:05 you're not grasping it what's pleasant or pushing what's unpleasant away. Let's say you have a fear of public speaking, right? So you've got to go out on stage and you feel anxiety. The usual, the default state of someone who doesn't want to have that experience is to try to figure is one to, you know, in advance worry about that experience. I mean, the anxiety is kindled just by the mere thought of what you have to do. Then once you feel the butterflies, you are at war with them.
Starting point is 00:07:35 I mean, first you can notice that anxiety isn't even that unpleasant. I mean, it's so close to excitement in its, actual physiology, that really the difference between excitement and anxiety is more or less just the framing. It's just the story you're telling yourself. You know, if you felt these, these tingles and this, you know, slightly adrenalized response right before, you know, you're about to go on a roller coaster, that's part of why you're going on the roller coaster. You like that experience, right? But the fact that you feel that way when you're about to have an interview or you're about to walk out on stage, that's intolerable.
Starting point is 00:08:10 The sense of self for most of us is not a feeling that we're identical with our bodies. Most people don't feel identical with their physical bodies. They feel like they're passengers inside their bodies. My body's down here. These are my hands. These are my legs. I obviously care about these things. You know, these are where my pains and pleasures are coming from.
Starting point is 00:08:33 But I'm up here in the head. So much of what we're thinking is making us miserable, right? So much of it is unpleasant. So much of it is causing anxiety. You look at your to-do list. You got 50 things on it. You just feel like, oh, my, the day's not long enough. This is the state we're in.
Starting point is 00:08:51 And the obverse of that is when we're really just connecting with life in a joyful, creative, beautiful way. Like when you look out the window and it's the most beautiful sunset ever, and you are just looking at the sunset, right? you're not, like you're fully connected with its beauty. Those are all moments where you're losing this sense of self. You're not really aware of losing the sense of self in those moments. You're not really aware of what is freeing about those moments,
Starting point is 00:09:21 and you can't do it in other circumstances. What's happening for people, most people, is that they're waiting for the world to give them a good enough reason to just be present, and to be present so fully that they lose their sense of self. They're no longer behind their face, you know, just waiting for something good to happen, right? Or figuring out how to change the experience enough
Starting point is 00:09:49 so that, again, they can stop, they're no longer at war. I mean, to a greater or lesser degree, we're always at war. I mean, we're always fighting something. You know, there's always just like, you know, you're always noticing something wrong, you're feeling uncomfortable in your body, you're reacting to something that somebody did
Starting point is 00:10:10 or you thought they did. The moments where you really feel good are moments where you can, there isn't a coming to rest, right, where it's not about the past or future. You know, it's not even about, it's not about half a second ago, it's not about half a second from now.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And the ultimate version of that is to just, to, entails the dropping of this sense of self. For me, flourishing is a matter of spending your time pleasantly and happily and creatively. Every moment when someone asks you, well, you know, that last hour, that last day,
Starting point is 00:10:52 that last week, that last year, do you feel good about that? Was that a good use of your time? That remembering self, that retrospective gesture, that's where people worry about things like meaning. And the remembering self is the self that you're talking to when you say, you know, are you satisfied with your life?
Starting point is 00:11:13 Whether you're asking yourself or someone's asking you. The answers that are available in those moments really determine whether or not somebody has a kind of global life satisfaction, whether they have meaning. But the experiencing self, the self that is just going moment to moment, feeling pains and pleasure and just dealing with this very short time horizon. I think that is, that's fundamentally our real self. Use of negative imagination where you think of all of the bad things that haven't happened to you.
Starting point is 00:11:50 If you're just, you know, if you're stuck in traffic, driving to the job that you don't like, and you're frustrated, you can think of all the things. that could happen to you, right, that haven't. And if any one of them happened to you, you would consider your prayers answered if you could just be returned to this moment. Like you haven't been diagnosed with cancer, right? You've got two young kids say, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:17 you want to live to see them grow up, and you could be the guy who today is going to find out you've got two months to lit. That's just more thinking, but it can have a profound effect. You can reframe your experience, in a way that doesn't actually change anything material about your circumstance, and it can let the light in.
Starting point is 00:12:44 It's not what happens that determines the major part of your feature. It's not what happens. What happens, happens to us all. Said the key is what you do about. It's not what happens. It's what you do about. Life ain't fair to nobody.
Starting point is 00:13:00 You just got to fight through, man. You got to bite facts sometime. It's like haters. When you get haters, people's opinion of you is none of your business. God uses opposition to position you for something greater. Because God knows when these things happen, you have two choices. We can let it break you and let it make you.
Starting point is 00:13:22 It's because of the hard times that we are built. It's because of the struggle, we are built. It's because of the trials and tribulations we are built. If it wasn't for those things, we wouldn't be able to grow more. But what a lot of us do, we take it as this isn't fair. We start solitaire in our gift. We start moving away from our greatness. We start living the life that was created for us,
Starting point is 00:13:42 and we let these things that were moved to build us, break us. In your life's blueprint should be a deep belief in your own dignity, your own worth, and your own somebodyness. Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you are nobody. You want to fix imposter syndrome and people pleasing? Learn how to stand in front of the mirror. Give yourself a high five.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Demonstrate that you like yourself. Demonstrate that you accept yourself. Because if you like yourself, you don't go out in the world and look for other people to like you because you don't need it. It's wonderful if they do, but the fantastic thing is, is if you actually like yourself. if you just accept where you are, you stop judging yourself, you accept yourself with some compassion.
Starting point is 00:14:57 When you go out in the world, if somebody else disrespects you, it doesn't change the fact that you respect yourself. If somebody else doesn't like you or love you, yeah, it stings, it sucks, but it doesn't change the fact that you like or love yourself. Most people don't lead their light, they accept their life. And when you accept your life, you are living on things. things that are not worthy at retirement, effort, energy. To go uphill, you have to be intentional.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Nobody ever went uphill by accident. You've never read a book on accidental achievements. You have to be intentional with what we do with your own. All good will be attacked. On this planet, maybe not the next normal we get to, but on this one, all good will be attacked. Every garden will be invaded. not to think so is naive.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Every garden must be tended all summer. Do you want the emotion or do you want progress? Because you can't have both. I'll give you an example. You're at the gym. You're curly. You'll rip eight. And your body starts to fire off those signals in your grain and it goes, stop.
Starting point is 00:16:18 It hurts. If you stop, you get the emotion. You don't get the progress. That where the pain starts is when the work starts. So you either get the emotion or you get the progress, but you can't have both. But God gave you the light, and you just shining. Even when they try to stop you, you still shining. Even when they try to slow you down, you still shining.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Even when they try to come against you, you still shining. Even when they use their tactics to try to hurt you and kill your vision, you bring more light to when you keep shining. You have to understand this true that I understood this in my life. Everybody ain't meant to handle the light. When somebody has darkness in their soul, when somebody has darkness in their spirit, when somebody is bitter and you becoming better,
Starting point is 00:17:08 everybody can't handle the light of greatness. Everybody can't handle the light of calling. Everybody can't handle the light of you being who you are. You've been ordained to be able to do what you've been called to do. Everybody can't handle that because everybody ain't that. I say to you, the universe is calling you, The voice of greatness has called me.
Starting point is 00:17:39 And I'm afraid to answer. We've been told two lies in our life. The first lie is, you're nothing. You're not worth anything. That's the first lie. The second lie we've all been told is you can be anything. It's not true. The way we're wired defines what we can do with that wiring.
Starting point is 00:18:13 And therefore, the truth is, you can't be anything you want but you can be everything you are perspective affects and impact how you see the world how you see people how you see circumstances but also it affects an impact how you do things like I always say perspective drives performance
Starting point is 00:18:35 you can have all the resources in the world but the incorrect perspective in a cat that has no resources with the right perspective will annihilate you, though, right? Because they're driven by the perspective of what they're doing and how they're doing.
Starting point is 00:18:52 You can have all the resources in the world with the wrong perspective and not make hay, not make no ground on a mission and the purpose of what you're trying to accomplish. It won't be easy. It will be hard because life is hard.
Starting point is 00:19:07 That's what life is. And these challenges, these challenges that you face, They're going to do their best to take you down. Do not let them. Stand up, dig in. Line up those problems and confront them, face them, fight them. Do not let them bring you down.
Starting point is 00:19:39 In fact, in fact, let those challenges raise you. Raise you off. Let them elevate you. We're all put here for a fucking reason. And it's not to go over here and beat on this drum about what should be and what's not fair. The world will never be fit. The world will never, ever be faking fit. Someone will always have an easier path to me. Regardless of how difficult you think your path is, there's lots of people out there who have had that same cap and actually won huge with that path.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Let the adversity you face today turn you into a better person tomorrow. Transformation and change is possible, but it's not very probable. The probability is low, but the possibility is high. Everyone has the opportunity to change, but the path is long, hard, and often required. is big amounts of tragedy, stress, and turmoil to even get someone to have that opportunity to take that path. I also believe that people don't change for people. I think people change for themselves when they realize that if I don't change, then that's
Starting point is 00:21:27 not good for me. But the probability of that happening is low until something massively painful or drastic happens in their life. How you do anything is how you do anything. everything. This ain't saying, oh man, I got to do this the way I do that. That's a little point talk. We're talking mentality. We're talking spirit. We're talking disposition. We talk about how we show up and how we work for what we say we want without letting situations, and people dictate what we bring into an environment every single day. I'm going to say it again,
Starting point is 00:21:57 not letting situations, circumstances, and people dictate what we bring into an environment every single day. We got very few things that we can control in this life. that you give things in your life. Meanings are everything. How you define your life will tell a lot about how far you go with your life. When you're serious about change, you don't say easier said to death. You're saying no matter how hard it may be, no matter how impossible it may seem,
Starting point is 00:22:33 no matter how many people walk down out of my life, I'm going to get it down. We don't realize that half the time, the thing that's weighing us down, the thing that's holding us back, is what we're holding us. on to what part of your mindset you're going to leave behind today? What part of it are you going to say, you know, I might need to leave that behind. I might need to let go of that. That doesn't serve me
Starting point is 00:23:00 anymore. Sit on your bed one day and ask yourself, what's, what remarkably stupid things am I doing on a regular basis to absolutely screw up my life? And if you actually ask that question, but you have to want to know the answer, right? Because that's actually what asking the question needs. It doesn't mean, you know, you know, just mouthing the words. It means you have to decide that you want to know. You'll figure that's out so fast it'll make your hair curl. You're perfectly capable of thinking. God only knows how. You're perfectly capable of immense feats of imagination and dream and fantasies. God only knows how you do all of that. What would happen if you consulted yourself about the best possible outcome
Starting point is 00:23:45 for you? You won't get an answer. So you may sit there and look at yourself and maybe you're even buying into the media. Maybe you're even believing that because you were born a certain race, or you were born to certain parents, or you had three parents, or you've suffered from depression, or all these other things that they put in your face to give you the exact excuse as to why you can't achieve what it is you want to achieve. You need to understand one thing. And that's this. Your hardships, your challenges, your situation will either be the reason you don't make it or it will be the story you tell when you do make it
Starting point is 00:24:35 and you get to make that choice. The other thing is take full responsibility for your life. We can either accept conditions as they exist or we can take the responsibility to change them. You got chase that dream for you, die man. Jake said what time, Bishop Jake said I would hate to die and never do the thing I was born to do. It isn't me. It's you. But it isn't me that changes you. It's you. You set the small goals. You achieve those goals. Then set some more and achieve those and set some more goals maybe a little bit
Starting point is 00:25:31 bigger, but not that much bigger. Just start small. Start. Start with. Start with. changing tomorrow morning, just tomorrow morning. Get that squared away. And then move on to the next day and the next and move your life to a better place. One little step. One little victory at a time. Projecting yourself forward to see what are the consequences of failing. What are the consequences of stopping?
Starting point is 00:26:22 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, 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.
Starting point is 00:26:55 And even 130 hours is just 130 hours. And you get to look back and you look back with pride and glory. What did 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, grown to panic and to cry and to break down and to and to collapse and to be of no use to anyone around you. That's not the right way to be.
Starting point is 00:27:31 The right way to be in a situation like that is to be strong and reliable. And I don't think he can do that without being wise. At some point in life, we got to wake up and we got to say, no more. We got to wake up and say, man, this is it. We 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,
Starting point is 00:27:53 you know, all the things that 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 will make change in your life. You need to start making some decisions. We ain't got to change everything, but you need to say, you know what,
Starting point is 00:28:04 This is the one thing that I'm going to stop being loyal to, this is the one thing I'm going to start being lowered to. They had enough disappointment. Sometimes your brain doesn't want to get disappointed, so it's a permanent problem. The whole problem is permanent. Only your soul is permanent. Nothing's forever.
Starting point is 00:28:19 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 a broader the process. People who never fail, never try. You have to fail.
Starting point is 00:28:37 You got to get it wrong to get it right. You learn nothing from winning. You only learn from your failures. 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.
Starting point is 00:28:56 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.
Starting point is 00:29:22 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. fall down seven times, get up, eight, ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship. In life, you don't have just one shot.
Starting point is 00:29:57 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 fail in one, go try in 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 whying about your life?
Starting point is 00:30:31 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,
Starting point is 00:30:53 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.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Some people are not equipped to handle the altitudes that you're going to. So don't be afraid when they fall out. 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 goal is just happening. You hit milestones as a side of fatten. Because it doesn't matter. At that point, I don't care if I can lift this much weight or run this fast.
Starting point is 00:31:53 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. If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself and all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting to. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies. Or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.
Starting point is 00:32:38 If you can dream and not make dreams your master, if you can think and not make thoughts your aim, if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same. The more responsibility you take on, the more meaning your life has. And the higher degree of responsibility that you agree voluntarily to try to bear, the richer your life will be. It's like it's weight, it's responsibility, but there's glory in it, there's real glory in it, there's deep meaning in it. Yes. Life can be overwhelming. That's the way life works.
Starting point is 00:33:20 It is testing you. It is going to throw problems at you, and it is going to throw problems at you, and it is going to throw. them at you all at the same time. This is the way life works, Murphy's Law. It is easy to feel beaten when you're faced with all those problems at once. But let me tell you, that does not mean give up fighting. In fact, it means the opposite. It is time for you to fight harder. To dig in, to go on the war path, to assess what the problems are and decide which one you are going to attack first this is my question see when you go free yourself how long you will stay in this pain expecting change to happen in your life how long
Starting point is 00:34:10 you'll stay in this situation expected things to change in your life you've been here for the last year the last five years the last decade staying in the same mess except in the same mess and wonder why you stress wonder why you're not happy wonder why you're not fulfilled wonder why you're not experiencing the life that you deserve to experience. When you're going to free yourself from the paint? It won't be easy. In fact, it will be hard.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Life is hard. That's what life is. And these challenges that you face, they are going to do their best to take you down. Do not let them. You can bear to hear the truth you've spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life too broken.
Starting point is 00:34:59 and stoop and build them up with worn out tools. You have to understand that every portion of your life is designed with a purpose in mind. You don't have dreams without test. You understand? And everything you're going through is God preparing you for what you ask for. So when you get tested, it's actually God
Starting point is 00:35:28 preparing you for what you ask for. You got to have hardships, setbacks, missteps. The only way to learn how to get up, you've got to fall. Learn. Only way to learn how to get over, you got to be under. The only way to learn how to win, you got to lose. Only way to appreciate the laughter, you got to be crying. You would not appreciate the sunsign if it didn't rain. Stand up.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Dig in. Line up those problems and confront them, face them, fight them. Do not let them bring you down. Instead, let these. Let these challenges raise you up. Let them elevate you. You have to stay when you're just tolerated and not celebrating. You don't have to stay where you're not happy.
Starting point is 00:36:26 You don't have to stay where you're not being better. You don't have to stay where you're suffering. You can free yourself from it. But what are you going to do it? What are you going to realize that if you don't do it? You're going to be staying with this pain forever. You're going to stay in this place of misery for the rest of your life. And I'm not trying to put fear in your heart.
Starting point is 00:36:43 But I am putting reality on your mind. Nothing's going to change. At some point, if it serves no purpose in your life for your life, you've got to free it from your life. And I know it's easier it's said than done. But you know it's a lot harder? Staying in pain for the rest of your life. You know, it's a lot harder?
Starting point is 00:37:01 Staying in chaos for the rest of your life. You know it's a lot harder staying at misery for the rest of your life? You can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it all in one turn of pitch and toss and lose and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss and so hold on when there's nothing in you except the will which says to them
Starting point is 00:37:32 hold on yours is the earth and everything that's in it and which is more you'll be a man my son the power to manifest is in experiencing the fullness of the present moment. Life in its fullness, life in its fullness isn't in a state of being.
Starting point is 00:38:06 It is to experience, to know, to realize the being is within you, the I am, which is consciousness itself. That is the fullness of life. But it isn't me that changes you, it's you. Set the small goals. You achieve those goals. Then set some more and achieve those and set some more goals, maybe a little bit bigger, but not that much bigger. Just start small.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Start with changing tomorrow morning, just tomorrow morning. Get that squared away. And then move on to the next day and the next and move your life to a little. better place. One little step, one little victory at a time. Commitment prepares you to meet obstacles and downfalls. Because if you've made a commitment to do something and disaster tracks or calamities take place or things don't go you away, you immediately start thinking, how do I solve the problem? If you have no commitment, your first thought is, how do I get out of this deal? And we generally find what we're looking for.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Along the way, there's going to be those setbacks and reversals and disappointments. Again, if you've made the commitment, what you do is you continue on. People who've made the commitment, not only and are overcomers, but they also prepare themselves. They expect to win. They prepare to win. How limitations. This happened again, I quit?
Starting point is 00:40:04 Of course, I'm not. I'm going to try to be the best that I can be, the strongest, the fastest, the smartest. That's what I'm going to do for. It is possible. How close can I get to that greatness? My glory happens in the darkness of the early morning, in solitude, alove. Make a declaration to yourself. declare all out war that you're going to get out of this right.
