The single most important thing in your life is your dream. It's your dream. It's what you dream about. If you see it, you can achieve it. If you don't have visions, you can't make it in this world. You need something to sustain yourself through that. It's not optional because the price of existence is so high. that without that sustaining meaning, it corrupts you, it embitteres you.

And once you're embittered, things go downhill rapidly. You get vengeful and you get angry and you get destructive. And then there's really no limit to that. And I've been suggesting to people that the sustaining meaning that they can find in their life isn't to be found through happiness, let's say, because happiness doesn't work when you're not happy. when things have gone badly for you, even for accidental reasons, but you can find sustaining meaning and responsibility.

Because God sent you here, and no human being came to this planet empty. What you've done, if it didn't kill you, there's more left. Turn your wounds into wisdom. You will be wounded many times in your life. You'll make mistakes. Some people will call them failures, but I have learned that failure is really God's way of saying Excuse me you're moving in the wrong direction A fixed mindset is when you believe your talent and intelligence are fixed traits a growth mindset is when you believe your talent and intelligence are

Malleable traits that you can actually change them you can improve them you can get better over time Smarter over time more competent over time and to do that you just need to reframe the failure as a learning experience So that's one of the big ones. People that can really fail without losing their enthusiasm. You've got to stop asking how little you can get away with and start asking one of the most powerful questions in the universe, which is how much can you bear? You came here loaded and you came here to make a deposit. And deposit you will make.

And if you don't make, you are a generational thing because you stole from the next generation. The next generation supposed to benefit from what you came to deliver. And if you settle down on what you've done and not do what you could do, then you've robbed them of what you came to lean for them to enjoy. That is why you should never allow what you've done to stop you from doing what you could do. Take responsibility for yourself, and that works. And then if you do that properly, you can take responsibility for your family, and then if you do that properly, you can take responsibility for your community.

for your community and you can continue to burden yourself voluntarily let's say with a greater and greater range of existential challenges and all that that does is make more and more and more of you works as an antidote to the catastrophe of life create the highest grandest vision possible for your life because you become what you believe. When you wake up in the morning and your life means something to somebody other than you, that you have a purpose.

If you don't go do the things that you're going to do, people's lives will suffer. And I think that that kind of purpose, that like to live in service, not to you, but to live in service to humanity, to live in service to your family, to live in service to your church, to your city, to your country, to the world. Living in service is that I feel like that is the purest form of joy.

Woe is me. It's not my fault. It was so-and-so. They did it to me. I want you to stop that immediately. Remind yourself that you own your life. Remind yourself with cause and effect. Remind yourself that you are in control. You could make a different decision and you could get a different outcome. Because you can't control the world. You can't control the world. You can't control other people. You can only control yourself. And between that stimulus and that response is your ability to make a different choice.

If you can be still long enough in all of your endeavors, the good times, the hard times, to connect yourself to the source, I call it God, you can call it whatever you want, to the force, nature, Allah, the power. If you can connect yourself to the source and allow the energy

that it is your personality, your life force to be connected to the greater force, anything is possible for you. I'm talking about being honest with yourself about what you're doing, about how you've performed, about whether or not you're being weak in something. Because if you're being weak, the only problem with that is ignoring it, is pretending like it's okay, is not holding yourself to a standard. It's going to happen from time to time. But if you're not honest with yourself about where you are, if you're not having that hard, direct talk, then you're never going to make progress.

You've got to make a decision. Listen to me. You've got to make a decision. What's the decision? What's the thing you came here for? Now we're at the moment. The clock is ticking. People say all the time, hey, life is short. Let me tell you something. Life can be long. You bury your dreams. You quit this. Life gets long. See, time's relative. Two minutes of you being with your sweetie, doing whatever you like to do with them, that can go by quick, right? What's about the last two minutes on a treadmill? Does that not seem like it goes by for like four hours, right? So if you're enjoying it, it's short. If it's painful, it's long. Life can be long.

When you lose your job, when someone you thought you'd be with for the rest of your life say, no, we can't do this no more. That's when you have to stand. That's when you have to begin to live this faith. And that's not on you. That's when you got to call on something. How do you let that mind be in you? You gotta be out of your mind to believe.

In spite of these numbers, you can still make it. In spite of the pain you feeling, you can still come back again. I believe it.
