  Speaker 1: the journey of life.
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: I feel like most people in their lives are being
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: allowed to live small. You're allowed to live a small life.
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: Everyone around you would like you to live small. Just

  Speaker 5: thing life and there's got to be something. No, no,
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: you're supposed to do something great with your life. You
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: were put here for a purpose. Your way the way
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: you were born, the way you were raised, your background,
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: your experiences, your giftedness all prepare you in your way
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: for right now. And you're supposed to do something great
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: with your life. You weren't born here to be average
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: and ordinary. And there's all this messaging that you're averaging
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: ordinary and your average noid because you belong there, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: it's probably someone else's fault, your average in ordinary too,
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, no, it's your life. You're in control,
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: it's no one else's fault. And you're supposed to do
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: something magnificent. That's the consciousness aspect the last thousand years
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: on Earth, doing something great has been reserved to this
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: one little group of people, one percent of the population.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: They're supposed to do something great. They're supposed to live
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: their dreams. We're supposed to watch them, cheer for them,
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: wear their jersey, watch their award show, comment on their posts,
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: clean their houses right, feed them in their restaurants. No,
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: the fact of the matter is you can do those things.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: You can change your life. And I'm sick and tired
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: of this hero worship. You live small, cheer for everybody
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: else who looks big. No, if you're a school teacher,
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Be the best school teacher. Change the world by those
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: little lives you're affected. If you're on social media, change
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: the world. Play big. You will never do it wrong.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: If your decision is to do the bigger thing than
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: the smaller thing. That's what I would tell you. Stop
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: playing small, stop making small, and don't let anybody tell
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: you should be small.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: So listen to them. There as those of you said,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I want to be a millionaire.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I want to be the best that this company.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Right, But your value system says you'll believe.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: In sleep morning, you believe in grinding.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Your value system says you are a consumer and not
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: a producer.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: That you're spending more money than you're making.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Why because you're a consumer.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: But you're reading all the books and you're saying everything
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the books are saying.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: But those books are not.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: In alignment with your values.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: And if you're going to go to the next level,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: your values are gonna happen change.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: What if I told you this was the last Monday
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: morning of your life? What if I told you you
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: die this week? Would you complain about your crap job
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: or that test you don't want to take. I doubt
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: it you would go much higher level thinking. Well, that's
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: really what it takes. It takes understanding that if you're
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: not pumped right now, if you're begrudging what you're about
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: to do, if you're not looking forward to it. Look,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I respect practicality. You gotta go through school because your
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: parents want to. You gotta pay your rent, you got
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: student loans. I get it, But please recognize the world
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: we're living in. We're living in a world where there's
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: so much more opportunity. This internet thing created way more
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: opportunity for all of us, way more. I mean, look,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: you only not even be alive, Like your mom and
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: dad could have had sex like three minutes later and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't even exist, and you're complaining you could end
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: up being a bus, a tree. I just don't get
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: the mentality of being head down sad on a Monday morning.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna make you Saturday Monday morning. That's what I
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: want to do every morning, and that's what I want
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: from you. Please take a step back and think about
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: how awesome it actually is and then recognize that you
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: can attack the world in a totally different way because
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: you are lucky enough to be born during this era.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: So you have said to yourself, Okay, I'm going to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: talk to my boss today about that thing that I've
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: been avoiding talking to them about. Or maybe you've said
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: something like I'm going to go to the gym today
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: or tomorrow or whatever, and then the moment comes where
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you've got to have that conversation, or the moment comes
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: where it's time to pack up your bag and leave
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: your desk and go to the gym. And what always
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: happens you don't feel like it. I bet there are
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: plenty of you watching that have made a commitment that
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to have a drink tonight, and then
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: guess what happens when you get home. You don't feel
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: like not drinking. You feel like having a drink. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: so here's what do it anyway has done for me.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Idea that I just do it anyway. Has pushed me
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to realize and to recognize that there are a lot
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: of moments when there are things in my life that
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I really want to do, I need to do, I
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: should do, But when the moment comes, I don't feel
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: like it, and so I pull out this idea of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm just going to do it anyway.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: It's raining outside I said I would go for a
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: short run. I don't feel like it. I'm going to
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: do it anyway. It's six o'clock in the morning, I'm tired,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it's cold. I laid out my yoga clothes, but now
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: What do I do?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I do it anyway. When you start to say to yourself,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do it anyway, what happens is something
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: really cool. You acknowledge that there are feelings that you
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: have that are trying to swoop in and hijack you.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You acknowledge them, and you basically say, guess what, I'm
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: going to do it anyway.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Problems are basically the building block of happiness, and that
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: is really counterintuitive the most people, because most people think
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: of happiness as like no problems, you know, sitting on
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: the beach with a kinya kalada doing whatever. But the
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: truth is that we need we need some sort of
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: struggle in our life. And the point I try to
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: make in the book is that the key to living
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: a good life isn't getting rid of struggle. It's finding
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: good struggles, Struggles that invigorate you, struggles that feel important
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: to you, Struggles that can contribute to the people around you,
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: because that's where meaning comes from, and ultimately meaning is
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: you know.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: What we all need.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: If people listening to this like feel stuck in some way. Generally,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: when people feel stuck, it's because they're in a situation
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: where they believe that they don't have the power to
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: solve whatever's going on in their life. And the truth
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: is that you always have the power to a react
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: to whatever's going on in your life or be create
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: the meaning around whatever's happening. So it's usually just a
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: matter of first changing perspective and then be doing something
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: the said about solving it, And again, it's what gets
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: people stuck is that they just they want to eliminate
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: their problems. It's not about eliminated problems, it's about simply
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: finding something more meaningful, more.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Worthwhile obviously he was about as successful as as anyone
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: could be. I mean, he was a successful guy in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: so many aspects, and yet and yet he killed himself.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: He said in this book, I wanted adventures. I wanted
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to go up the Nung River to the heart of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: darkness in Cambodia. I wanted to ride out into a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: desert on camelback sand and dunes in every direction, Eat
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: whole roasted lamb with my fingers. I wanted to kick
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: snow off my boots in a mafia nightclub in Russia.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I wanted to play with automatic weapons and Panama pen
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Recapture the past in a small oyster village in France,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: step into a CD Neon lit for Korea in rural Mexico.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I wanted to run roadblocks in the middle of the night,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: blowing past angry militia with a handful of hurled Marlboro packs,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: experience fear, excitement, wonder. I wanted kicks, the kind of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: melodramatic thrills and chills I'd yearned for since childhood, the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: kind of adventure I'd found as a little boy in
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the pages of my ten ten comic books. I wanted
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to see the world, and I wanted the world to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: be just like the movies. That's what Anthony Bourdaine said,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: just like the movies. But you know what, to me,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the world is not like the movies. The movies aren't real.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: They don't exist, but you do. And life, this life
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is It's better than any movie there is. Movies are
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: supposed to be provoke emotion, they're supposed to make you
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: feel something, But I have a better idea. Go out
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: into the world and actually feel it. Go feel joy
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and love and triumph and rapture and ecstasy and glory.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Go feel those things. And you know, with those feelings
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: there will be other feelings as well. There'll be sorrow
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and pain, and sadness and desolation and suffering. There'll be
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: all those feelings too. But you know what, that's okay.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: That's okay, take both sides, feel all of it. That's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: what life is. Those feelings, those emotions, those highs and
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: those lows, those are life.
