We'll be right back. this is it this moment that's that is it no need jumping in the past no need looking for anything in the future you will not get more than you have right now it's just here when you feel as though you cannot go one step further, when your body is tired and all you want to do is drop everything and give up. Remember that this moment precisely is the moment the weak fall and the strong prevail. To find meaning in life is a responsibility. It's not a present, it's not a gift, it's not fortune, it's not chance, it's not random. It's a responsibility. Every single thing that happens to you in your life,

you either look and find meaning in it, or you don't look and you don't find any meaning in it, and it will just be suffering to you. The thing about life is that it's not a thing. Life is a series of moments. The problem is that most of us are too busy to notice these moments as they come. We are not present. We are preoccupied. Marcus Aurelius contrasts this with the person who is able to be like the rock that the waves crash against, but eventually fall still. That's what presence is. Slowing down, being where your feet are, being in the moment. Greatness, happiness, contentment, these things are what life can be only if we choose to experience them

only if we slow down only if we show up and stay in the moment performance without a purpose is one hell of a skill to have no one there cheering you on. No race to prepare for. No finish line. No glory. No nothing.

Yet, you still perform. You're doing the right thing. You're doing everything necessary for your vision, for your dreams, for your goals. You're a good person. You work hard, but it goals. You're a good person. You work hard, but it just seems like you can't win, like you can't catch a break. Bad thing after bad thing happens. But if you just keep believing in the vision, if you do not give up, if you are optimistic about every single situation, eventually you will catch a break. Eventually everything will start going your way. Yes, you will get out of this. You're getting out of this. I don't know who told

you differently. You're getting out of this. But right now you got to go through this to get out of this, to grow out of this, to help everyone else who is going through this. That's why you're going through this. Focus on the courage, the this focus on the courage the strength the power the ambition the might the light that you have to get through this focus on placing your attention on what is the good in what I'm going through if you're avoiding the thing you're afraid to do let your heart lead the way so easy to live life stuck in our heads that but that's where the negative voice and fear live. We overthink everything and we believe in the worst case

scenario. But have you heard the voice of your heart? It's pure, it's loving, it's vibrant. That's because there is no space for fear in your heart. It only speaks of what's best for you. When you let your heart lead the way, fear becomes nothing, and you become everything. If you don't know what to pursue in life right now, pursue yourself. Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest,

most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself, then the right path will reveal itself. It is tedious. It is painful. It is lonely because it is a game of just moving the ball down the field inch by inch by inch. It's not glamorous. It's lonely. As you start changing, everything around you starts changing. People around you start, like it just, it's not even fun in the beginning. And so you'd either have to have an incredible amount of hope or a ridiculous amount of inspiration and delusion, or you have to be in so much pain that the alternative to continuing this pain that you're in is to try something different because it's the only thing that might be slightly less painful than what you're doing. Sometimes you just have to let time do its thing.

It's hard sitting in uncertainty, but clarity often comes from experience, not thinking and speculating. It's okay to feel lost. You're not falling behind, living life wrong, or missing out on anything. Life wouldn't be the adventure that it is if you already knew everything. So don't give up now. Only a matter of choice. You choose your fate, not your circumstances. So will you choose to be remembered as someone who simply did not have it in them? Who wasn't strong enough to get it done? Or will you choose to prevail and inspire the generations that will come after you? They are counting on you. The choice is yours. So start policing up here. Watch what you're thinking.

Start thinking more positive thoughts. I can do it. I'm going to do it. I don't care how I feel. I'm getting this thing done. Because when you change your thoughts, those thoughts change the actions that you take. And those actions that you take start to create a life that you love. We have two primary choices in life.

We can either accept conditions as they exist, or we can take the responsibility to change them. See, a lot of people want to exempt themselves from taking responsibility. All they want to do is talk about the problem. Every time you see them, they'll tell you their story over and over and over and over again. No, no. You want to take responsibility for your life. I got me here. I can get me out of this.

And I'm getting out. I'm not going to be a volunteer victim.
