What's the consequence? You're not motivated. You don't want to get out of bed in the morning. You're starting to get depressed. You're getting bitter.

You're getting resentful. You're getting cynical. You're amotivated at work. You're not doing a very good job. And you're starting to shrink. Now play that out for 10 years. You don't change it. You don't fix it. You don't fix it.

And what happens? You're going to be in the same situation, but 10 years older. And if you can't get out of that situation now, what the hell makes you think you're going to get out of it in 10 years? You're only seeing what's in front of you. You're not seeing what's above you. I can't change the beginning, but could I change the middle? Could I change,

can I edit that story, rewrite that story and change my entire life? Everybody's so crippled by decisions, but you never know how the other thing worked out. Let me give you an example. Let's say you don't go to college and you start this business and you were a hundred percent right. And it's huge and you're doing so great. But because you did that, you had to fly to America for a big meeting and your plane crashed and you died. That would be a bad idea. Or you think you're going to go to college because it's a good experience and you'll meet people. You can meet people in a business.

You're not going to know. I think people overthink decisions. You'll never know what the alternative would have been. So just pick one and do it. Change is inevitable. And you are either changing for the worse or changing for the better. You decide. I hope I do not believe in you more than you believe in yourself.

Now listen to me, guys. The transition is going to be hard. I'm not going to lie to you. Go from being on the block, going to be a high school dropout, to getting a GED. It's not. The transition is not easy. So what happens? In order for you to go from one level

to the next level in order for any man to transit listen to me in order for any woman to transition for any man to transition the thing that they want must be greater than the thing they currently have listen to me very closely I didn't come in here to tell you you're gonna finish school I came to ask you what's next. I came to ask you what's next. For me, it's the Nobel Prize. I always think about other people that's going through a tougher life than I am. What if I had to change places?

Would I trade places? You know, there's something I would always say to people from time to time if I could take out a piece of paper and write down my problems and you could take out a piece of paper and write down your problems and we exchange those papers and I'm thinking I got such a tough tough life and you may have a tough life but I pick up your paper the one you may have written on and I'm looking like wow I thought I had it bad and then the other person say hey you got a lot better than I do you know what

I would do I would say give me me a paper give me my paper back I'll take my problems back the point that I'm saying is this. I didn't put myself in such a pity party position to where I felt, why me? Why not me? Why shouldn't I go through this? So you have to know, and I believe this even more, there can never be anything good unless there's some bad along the way there has to be a challenge there has to be a struggle there has to be some setbacks you cannot

think in your mind that that's all you good for is the good things how good are you when you at your weakest point in your life? Where are you when you're at the down low of your life? Then what do you do? You are either going to evolve or expire. See everything changes, the economy changes, relationships changes. We change mentally and emotionally and physically and you are either dying or you are either living. How am I a different person than I was this morning when I woke up? The initial reaction would be, I'm not. It's only been like 12 hours. How could I be different?

But if I really think about it, what do I now know that I didn't know before? What, you know, what experiences have I had that my partner self hadn't had when I had just woken up? And if I actually think about it, just like gratitude, I'm creating the frame of my past. I actually can about it, just like gratitude, I'm creating the frame of my past. I actually can and do. on your face bet on the sports you love with bet river sports book take a chance must be 19 plus available in ontario only please play responsibly if you have questions or concerns about your gambling or someone close to you please contact connects ontario at 1-866-531-2600 to speak to an advisor free of charge see that i am different than my past self even 12 13 hours ago or the night before and by appreciating that i now acknowledge that I've changed, which increases my psychological flexibility.

It allows me to see that I am not the same person, that I am growing, that I am evolving, which is really useful for then thinking of your future self as a different person. You don't know. Like, there is no time machine. There's no future machine. We're all over analyzing everything.

Like, how do you know? You don't. This is why I keep trying to push people. The only thing that I know seems practical is, are you happy? Are you happy today? Feels like it's the right thing. This is important. You can't analyze.

I didn't know that starting a YouTube show for my wine business was going to be the reason that i was going to have a huge investing career i couldn't see that this 30 seconds is your life passing you by an opportunity to change it's your prerogative you want to go down the path you have right now of your life and where it's going. Where do you see an alternate path that's not flatline, but climbing up an echelon of remembrance, a possibility where dreams exist, legacy exists,

the possibility of change. So within your grasp of these hands, within the grasp of 30 seconds, it's within you. You had the will. You're here. I know you had the will. You had the grasp of these hands. You've been in the craft for 30 seconds. It's within you. You've had the will. You're here. I know you have the will. You have the intestinal fortitude. You have the want of change.

You only live once. So do what you feel passionate about. Take chances. Don't be afraid to fail. How do you know true strength? When you never tasted the roots. When you never was down on your luck. When you were at the bottom.

I had to ask myself. And I realized, you got to go through this hell, man. This is it. Because as long as you're living, you got to keep moving. It all starts with a thought. But changing your thoughts is easy, it's free, can be instant. What's the point of making it complicated?

How does that help anyone who says, well I'm messed up and so hard to change and people can't change. It's like, well that's not correct. Who taught you that? From the minute you're born you're changing. Oh you know, it's long and arduous to recover no isn't something will recover like that some people don't but you could be one of the ones that changes your thoughts changes your

feelings changes your actions after all when do you experience the positive emotion that's associated with happiness the answer is not when you've attained a goal, but when you're pursuing one. Don't you realize excuses will kill you? It will destroy your well-being? And the more excuses you make, the less effort you're gonna give. There's a million things I've done wrong.

It's because I didn't do something that would have sent me somewhere else, but I have no idea. You don't know. You don't't if you do not apply what you hear and it goes over your head you will miss your moment nothing changes if nothing changes man
