  Welcome once again to the Inspirations for Your
• 0:29
  Life show.
• 0:30
  It's so great to be with you.
• 0:32
  It is Sunday, July 19, 2026.
• 0:36
  And welcome.
• 0:37
  That's what I have to say.
• 0:37
  Welcome.
• 0:38
  If this is your very first time being
• 0:40
  here, I want to say welcome and thank
• 0:41
  you.
• 0:42
  If you've been here one times, five times,
• 0:44
  10 times, or even 100, I'd like to
• 0:46
  say thank you and yes, welcome.
• 0:49
  But I'd also like to say the words,
• 0:50
  welcome back, guys.
• 0:52
  Yes, welcome back.
• 0:53
  So we are on day two.
• 0:56
  We have a great master topic, which we'll
• 0:58
  get to in just a moment.
• 0:59
  But before we do get to the show,
• 1:01
  I want to encourage you to get some
• 1:02
  Aura water or what have you and go
• 1:04
  from there or a snack.
• 1:07
  I have a delicious one here, Aura water
• 1:10
  with fresh lemon.
• 1:12
  It's really good for you.
• 1:14
  All right, guys.
• 1:15
  So let's kick the show off.
• 1:16
  Feel free to go get that.
• 1:17
  Do check out believemeachieved.com for all my
• 1:23
  greatest unique content after the show.
• 1:26
  So let's kick this off, everyone.
• 1:27
  But before I do, I want to give
• 1:30
  a shout out to actually a restaurant in
• 1:33
  Pompton Lakes, New Jersey.
• 1:36
  And yeah, so I want to do that
• 1:40
  because Sundays and Thursdays we do that.
• 1:43
  So I want to give a shout out
• 1:44
  to Monica's, Monica's Restaurant.
• 1:47
  It's an Italian restaurant.
• 1:50
  They're located on 1 Lakeside Avenue in Pompton
• 1:55
  Lakes, New Jersey.
• 1:56
  They strongly say reservation is required and Mondays,
• 2:01
  well, they are closed.
• 2:03
  Fridays they're open, Tuesday through Friday, they're open
• 2:06
  11.30 a.m. to 2.30. And
• 2:09
  yeah, they also, it says Tuesday through Saturday,
• 2:13
  they do dinner from 4.30 to 10.
• 2:16
  So they close for a little siesta there
• 2:18
  from like 2.30 till they open again
• 2:22
  at 4.30. So basically, they're closed like
• 2:24
  two hours till they reopen.
• 2:26
  And Sunday, 4.30 to 9.
• 2:27
  And they are closed between 2.30 and
• 2:31
  4.30 on Sunday, they don't open.
• 2:33
  So again, guys, yes, it's so great to
• 2:37
  be with you.
• 2:38
  And I want to give a shout out
• 2:39
  to them.
• 2:40
  You know, they are local.
• 2:42
  They have been here for a while.
• 2:44
  They have lots of great things.
• 2:47
  They're Italian cuisine.
• 2:48
  I have not had a chance to actually
• 2:50
  enjoy their food yet, but I am going
• 2:52
  to definitely do that.
• 2:53
  They have a variety of great Italian things,
• 2:56
  appetizers, veal, pasta, specials.
• 2:58
  So a big shout out everyone at Monica's
• 3:02
  in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey.
• 3:05
  And I'm shouting out to you tonight from
• 3:07
  the Inspirations for Your Life show because I
• 3:09
  want to ask you to go to our
• 3:12
  website, jcmacademy.com, and invite us to your
• 3:16
  place so you can host us.

  Then we'll do a recording.

  Great way to build community.

  It's free.
• 3:23
  It takes about 15 minutes for the setup.

  The show is about 27 minutes.
• 3:27
  Then we actually do an author talk, which
• 3:31
  is about roughly maybe 30 minutes.
• 3:35
  15 minutes for our Q&A and 15
• 3:38
  minutes for the author signing.
• 3:40
  We'll also do a brief interview with one
• 3:43
  of the staff or owners there and talk
• 3:45
  a little about the restaurant and what kind
• 3:47
  of gave you your passion to get going.
• 3:50
  So yes, check that out, guys.
• 3:52
  So this is Inspirations for Your Life.
• 3:54
  And the master weekly topic for Series 5,
• 3:57
  Show 30 is building the habits that shape
• 3:59
  an extraordinary life.
• 4:02
  How to strengthen your mind before challenges arrive.
• 4:06
  Series 5, Show 30, Episode 2.
• 4:08
  Welcome, everyone, to Inspirations for Your Life.
• 4:11
  I'm John C.
• 4:12
  Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
• 4:17
  podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student at
• 4:22
  Montclair State University, a passionate lifelong learner, and
• 4:27
  now so grateful to be a published author.
• 4:30
  All right, guys.
• 4:31
  So life doesn't wait until we're ready before
• 4:34
  presenting challenges.
• 4:35
  Sorry about that.
• 4:37
  Unexpected setbacks, disappointments, difficult conversations, and moments of
• 4:44
  uncertainty are all part of the human experience.
• 4:48
  While we can't control every circumstance, we can
• 4:53
  prepare our minds for how we'll respond.
• 4:56
  Mental strength isn't something that appears overnight, guys.
• 5:01
  It's developed through daily choices, healthy thinking, emotional
• 5:08
  discipline, and the willingness to grow from every
• 5:11
  experience.
• 5:12
  Today, guys, I'm going to discover with you
• 5:15
  how preparing your mind before challenges arrives allows
• 5:19
  you to respond with confidence rather than fear
• 5:23
  and with purpose rather than panic.
• 5:27
  Number one, mental strength is developed.
• 5:31
  No one is born mentally strong.
• 5:33
  Like any other skill, resilience grows through repetition,
• 5:38
  consistent practice, and that's through our experience.
• 5:41
  Every challenge you overcome adds another layer of
• 5:46
  confidence and prepares you for the next opportunity
• 5:51
  to grow.
• 5:52
  Number two, preparation creates confidence.
• 5:56
  Confidence comes from knowing you've invested the time
• 6:00
  to prepare.
• 6:01
  When you've practiced, planned, and learned, uncertainty becomes
• 6:07
  far less intimidating.
• 6:09
  Preparation gives you a foundation to stand on
• 6:12
  when pressure increases.
• 6:15
  Number three, control your thoughts, guys.
• 6:18
  Your thoughts influence your emotions and your emotions
• 6:22
  influence your actions.
• 6:25
  Learning to direct your thinking toward possibility rather
• 6:29
  than fear helps you make better decisions.
• 6:33
  A disciplined mind creates a stronger future.
• 6:37
  Yeah, that's important.
• 6:38
  Discipline is key.
• 6:40
  Motivation is great, but motivation wanes based on
• 6:43
  our moods.
• 6:44
  Number four, guys, expect challenges.
• 6:46
  Life isn't meant to be free from obstacles.
• 6:52
  Accepting that challenges will come helps you respond
• 6:57
  calmly when they arrive.
• 7:00
  Preparation replaces surprise with confidence.
• 7:04
  Number five, stay emotionally steady.
• 7:07
  Emotions provide valuable information, but they shouldn't always
• 7:11
  control your decisions.
• 7:13
  Learning to pause before reacting allows you to
• 7:17
  think clearly and respond wisely.
• 7:20
  Emotional stability creates better outcomes.
• 7:24
  That's true, guys.
• 7:25
  Number six, perspectives change everything.
• 7:28
  Two people can experience the same setback and
• 7:31
  see it completely differently.
• 7:33
  One sees failure while another sees an opportunity
• 7:37
  to learn from.
• 7:38
  Your perspective often determines whether an obstacle becomes
• 7:44
  a stopping point or a stepping stone.
• 7:48
  Number seven, choose optimism.
• 7:50
  Optimism isn't pretending problems don't exist.
• 7:54
  It's believing that solutions can be found.
• 7:57
  Positive thinking encourages creative problem-solving and keeps
• 8:02
  your energy focused on progress rather than defeat.
• 8:08
  Number eight, stay solution-focused.
• 8:12
  Problems deserve attention, but solutions deserve your energy.
• 8:18
  Rather than dwelling on what's wrong, ask yourself
• 8:21
  what action you can take next.
• 8:25
  Every solution begins with one positive decision.
• 8:29
  Number nine, learn from setbacks.
• 8:32
  Every setback contains valuable lessons.
• 8:36
  If you're willing to look for them, failure
• 8:39
  isn't the opposite of success.
• 8:42
  It's often one of the greatest teachers you'll
• 8:44
  ever have.
• 8:46
  Experience creates wisdom, guys.
• 8:48
  Number 10, build resilience daily.
• 8:51
  Resilience isn't built solely during major life events.
• 8:56
  It's developed every day through small acts of
• 8:59
  discipline.
• 9:01
  Patience, adaptability, and perseverance.
• 9:05
  Daily habits prepare you for bigger challenges later
• 9:08
  on.
• 9:09
  Number 11, protect your mindset.
• 9:12
  Be mindful of what influences your thinking from
• 9:16
  the get-go.
• 9:16
  The conversations you have, the information you consume,
• 9:21
  and the people you surround yourself with all
• 9:25
  affect your outlook.
• 9:27
  Protect your mindset because it shapes your future.
• 9:31
  Number 12, focus on what you control.
• 9:35
  Many things remain outside your control, but your
• 9:40
  attitude, effort, preparation, and response always belong to
• 9:46
  you.
• 9:47
  Direct your energy toward what you can influence
• 9:51
  rather than worrying about what you cannot control.
• 9:54
  Number 13, stay adaptable.
• 9:57
  Life rarely unfolds exactly as we planned it
• 10:00
  to.
• 10:01
  This water was very good with the fresh
• 10:03
  lemon.
• 10:04
  Adaptability allows you to adjust without giving up
• 10:07
  flexible thinking.
• 10:08
  And this creates opportunities even when circumstances change
• 10:13
  unexpectedly.
• 10:15
  Number 14, confidence grows through action.
• 10:19
  Waiting to feel confident often delays progress.
• 10:25
  Confidence grows by taking action despite uncertainty.
• 10:31
  Every courageous step strengthens your belief in your
• 10:34
  own abilities.
• 10:36
  Number 15, practice patience.
• 10:39
  Meaningful growth takes time.
• 10:42
  Don't become discouraged because progress feels slow.
• 10:46
  Stay committed to the process.
• 10:50
  Continue improving and trust that consistent effort always
• 10:54
  produces results.
• 10:57
  Number 16, replace fear with preparation.
• 11:01
  Fear often grows from uncertainty, but preparation builds
• 11:06
  confidence.
• 11:08
  The more you learn, practice, and prepare, the
• 11:13
  less intimidating challenges become.
• 11:16
  You may never eliminate fear, but you can
• 11:19
  prevent it from controlling your decisions.
• 11:24
  Preparation allows courage to take the lead.
• 11:28
  Number 17, stay calm under pressure.
• 11:31
  I know that's easier said than done, but
• 11:33
  I want to tell you that it's not
• 11:35
  easy to do things, guys.
• 11:37
  Because, you know, we sometimes stop because we
• 11:41
  see a limit, okay?
• 11:43
  And that limit really is not a true
• 11:47
  limit.
• 11:48
  It's a facade that we put up, a
• 11:51
  limitation we've created that really isn't there.
• 11:54
  But when our mind says it's there, it's
• 11:56
  there.
• 11:57
  Number 17, stay calm under pressure, and pressure
• 12:00
  reveals how prepared you really are.
• 12:02
  Staying calm doesn't mean ignoring the situation.
• 12:06
  It means trusting yourself enough to think clearly
• 12:09
  before reacting.
• 12:11
  A steady mind finds solutions much faster than
• 12:15
  a panicked one.
• 12:17
  Number 18, learn continuously, guys.
• 12:20
  Every experience offers another opportunity to grow.
• 12:23
  Stay curious, ask questions, and look for lessons
• 12:28
  in both success and failure.
• 12:31
  Long times can be changed from the lifelong
• 12:36
  learning as we strengthen your confidence.
• 12:39
  Because every new skill expands your ability to
• 12:43
  solve future problems.
• 12:47
  Number 19, every setback teaches.
• 12:50
  Disappointments are rarely enjoyable.
• 12:52
  Sorry, guys.
• 12:53
  But they are often valuable.
• 12:56
  Setbacks expose weaknesses, reveal opportunities, and encourage better
• 13:02
  decisions.
• 13:03
  When you choose to learn instead of quitting,
• 13:08
  every obstacle becomes part of your growth story.
• 13:11
  Number 20, think long term.
• 13:14
  One difficult day doesn't define your future.
• 13:18
  We've all had times, you know, we come
• 13:19
  back, you know, we have a very long
• 13:21
  plate.
• 13:21
  And that can happen sometimes.
• 13:23
  The key is to just do what you
• 13:25
  can do.
• 13:26
  Try to get everything done.
• 13:27
  If you can't, get the rest done tomorrow.
• 13:30
  Sometimes we need a little bit of a
• 13:31
  break, right?
• 13:32
  That happens.
• 13:33
  Looking beyond today's challenges helps you stay motivated
• 13:38
  during temporary setbacks.
• 13:41
  Long-term thinking encourages patience and reminds you
• 13:45
  that meaningful success is built over, that's right,
• 13:50
  time.
• 13:51
  Number 21, keep improving, guys.
• 13:55
  There is always another opportunity to become better.
• 14:00
  Improvement isn't about perfection.
• 14:03
  It's about making steady progress.
• 14:07
  Through consistent effort, small improvements made daily eventually
• 14:12
  create an extraordinary transformation.
• 14:16
  Number 22, build emotional discipline.
• 14:19
  Emotional discipline helps you respond thoughtfully rather than
• 14:23
  react impulsively.
• 14:26
  It helps you remain focused, okay?
• 14:29
  And I think that's a very important thing
• 14:31
  during the uncertainty times.
• 14:34
  And it prevents temporary emotions from derailing us
• 14:38
  and making permanent decisions that we probably aren't
• 14:41
  going to be happy with.
• 14:42
  Emotional strength becomes one of our greatest advantages
• 14:46
  and assets.
• 14:46
  Number 23, please stay flexible, guys.
• 14:50
  Life rarely follows a perfect plan.
• 14:54
  There's no perfect time, no perfect people, no
• 14:56
  perfect place.
• 14:58
  Being flexible allows you to adjust without losing
• 15:03
  momentum.
• 15:05
  Sometimes changing your approach is exactly what helps
• 15:09
  you keep moving toward your goals.
• 15:12
  Number 24, keep believing in yourself.
• 15:16
  Self-belief grows through action.
• 15:19
  Every challenge you overcome reminds you that you're
• 15:24
  stronger and more capable than you once believed.
• 15:29
  And we said before that your belief creates
• 15:31
  your reality.
• 15:33
  Trust the progress you've made and continue building
• 15:37
  confidence through experience.
• 15:39
  Number 25, strength grows through experience.
• 15:44
  Reading about resilience is valuable, but living through
• 15:48
  challenges develops true strength.
• 15:52
  Every obstacle you overcome increases your confidence and
• 15:58
  prepares you for greater opportunities.
• 16:01
  Did you know that?
• 16:02
  Experience remains one of life's greatest teachers.
• 16:06
  I think sometimes people, they get derailed by
• 16:08
  that.
• 16:09
  They're like, well, I'm not ready for that
• 16:10
  lesson.
• 16:11
  And when you're not ready for a lesson,
• 16:13
  it's very hard to move forward because you
• 16:17
  don't understand what's going on or why something
• 16:19
  is going on.
• 16:20
  All you know is that a change is
• 16:22
  happening and you're not quite sure about what
• 16:25
  it is or why it's going on that
• 16:28
  way.
• 16:28
  Does that make sense?
• 16:32
  I think that's important.
• 16:37
  Does that make sense to everybody?
• 16:42
  Hopefully it does.
• 16:46
  I think sometimes we don't realize that the
• 16:52
  reason we're not moving forward isn't because of
• 16:55
  anybody else but ourself.
• 16:58
  You see, when we put in our head
• 17:00
  that we can't do something, Henry Ford says,
• 17:03
  and I have to give him the credit
• 17:04
  because he's the genius that came up with
• 17:05
  this.
• 17:06
  He said a long time ago, if we
• 17:08
  believe we can't, we're right.
• 17:09
  But if we can, we're also right.
• 17:13
  Those are powerful things.
• 17:14
  So our mind, from our perceptions, creates our
• 17:19
  reality.
• 17:21
  And our reality makes the difference to whether
• 17:25
  we're going to succeed or not.
• 17:27
  Number 26, guys, every challenge prepares you.
• 17:31
  I know you may not be in love
• 17:33
  with the challenges that pop up.
• 17:34
  I get it.
• 17:35
  I do get it.
• 17:36
  But I want you to know that these
• 17:39
  challenges are necessary for you to grow.
• 17:41
  I've said that when we grow, it's not
• 17:44
  comfortable.
• 17:45
  It's uncomfortable.
• 17:47
  Today's difficulties often become tomorrow's advantages and successes.
• 17:54
  Skills developed during hard times frequently create opportunities
• 17:58
  you never expected.
• 18:01
  Be flexible.
• 18:02
  Be open.
• 18:04
  It doesn't have to come in a brown
• 18:05
  paper bag.
• 18:06
  It doesn't have to come in a plastic
• 18:08
  container.
• 18:09
  It doesn't have to be at your local
• 18:12
  shopping store.
• 18:13
  It doesn't have to be on the computer.
• 18:16
  It doesn't have to be in person.
• 18:18
  Be open to things and opportunities that will
• 18:20
  show up in your life if you have
• 18:23
  that kind of an attitude.
• 18:24
  Every challenge adds another layer of wisdom and
• 18:31
  resilience to your life, okay?
• 18:36
  Number 27, please build inner confidence.
• 18:40
  Real confidence doesn't depend on applause or approval
• 18:45
  from others.
• 18:46
  That's what many people go after is that
• 18:49
  applause.
• 18:49
  And although there's nothing wrong with the applause,
• 18:52
  don't do what you do for the applause.
• 18:55
  I know I don't.
• 18:56
  I do it because I love to become
• 18:59
  better and I love to help other people
• 19:00
  become better versions of themselves.
• 19:03
  There's no magic trick here, guys.
• 19:07
  There is consistency and there is structure.
• 19:09
  And I've said that when you have structure
• 19:11
  and consistency, you will be successful.
• 19:13
  It comes from knowing you prepared, stayed consistent,
• 19:19
  and honored your commitments.
• 19:23
  Inner confidence remains steady because it's built from
• 19:27
  personal growth.
• 19:29
  And I think when something comes from personal
• 19:31
  growth, I know you're like, oh, I don't
• 19:32
  want to deal with that.
• 19:33
  But guess what?
• 19:35
  We're like, maybe that works.
• 19:36
  Maybe that actually works.
• 19:38
  And if that works that way, it's like,
• 19:40
  well, wait a minute.
• 19:40
  I actually can do something, all right?
• 19:43
  That's an important thing.
• 19:50
  I think some people don't understand that, okay?
• 19:56
  And I can tell you that a lot
• 19:58
  of people, for whatever reason, they get confused.
• 20:04
  And then they also give up when something
• 20:07
  is not in the package or in the
• 20:10
  flavor they're expecting.
• 20:11
  I'm using flavor.
• 20:12
  I'm using package.
• 20:15
  How you're expecting to come.
• 20:16
  It may not come the way you want
• 20:18
  it.
• 20:19
  I could be talking about business, opportunities, money.
• 20:23
  I could even be talking about relationships.
• 20:25
  Well, you know, I'm not going to meet
• 20:27
  my partner unless it's when I'm traveling.
• 20:31
  I don't ever want to meet my partner.
• 20:33
  I'm just making this up, okay?
• 20:35
  People have these weird things.
• 20:36
  I can meet my partner, but it can
• 20:38
  never be at a coffee shop, or it
• 20:41
  can never be at an airport, or it
• 20:43
  can never be at a business function.
• 20:50
  Those are key, guys.
• 20:52
  Those are the key.
• 20:53
  And so when you're saying, that's not what
• 20:57
  I want, you're also saying, I don't want
• 20:59
  it because you're not being open to how
• 21:01
  it could reach you.
• 21:02
  Number 28, guys, stay mentally strong.
• 21:04
  I know this is easier said than done.
• 21:07
  Mental strength is developed one decision at a
• 21:09
  time.
• 21:10
  Continue choosing positive habits, healthy thinking, and purposeful
• 21:16
  actions.
• 21:17
  A strong mindset helps you stay focused, even
• 21:21
  when circumstances become difficult.
• 21:25
  That's key, guys.
• 21:27
  I said that nothing was going to be
• 21:29
  easy.
• 21:29
  But if you know that nothing's going to
• 21:31
  be easy, you're going to be more able
• 21:33
  to understand it, okay?
• 21:36
  And by being more able to understand, like,
• 21:38
  oh, wait a minute, I actually get this.
• 21:40
  I actually understand this, right?
• 21:52
  I think sometimes people, you know, they rush
• 21:59
  through something because they feel if they rush
• 22:01
  through it, then everything else is going to
• 22:03
  be easy.
• 22:04
  No, it's going to be hard.
• 22:07
  So if you do the hard stuff first,
• 22:10
  this is what I've learned.
• 22:12
  You may not like it, but all the
• 22:14
  other stuff is going to be easier.
• 22:16
  Number 29, growth requires courage.
• 22:20
  Growth always asks you to leave what's comfortable
• 22:23
  and embrace what's possible.
• 22:26
  Courage isn't the absence of fear.
• 22:29
  It's the decision to continue moving forward despite
• 22:33
  uncertainty.
• 22:34
  Every courageous choice expands your potential horizons.
• 22:39
  Number 30, strong minds create strong lives.
• 22:43
  No secret there.
• 22:44
  Everything begins in your mind.
• 22:46
  A wise person once told me, John, if
• 22:49
  you want something in reality, you have to
• 22:51
  create it in the mind first, and then
• 22:53
  you create reality.
• 22:56
  And I didn't believe this until it actually
• 22:57
  started happening.
• 22:59
  You envision what you want, and then your
• 23:01
  mind is taking those steps.
• 23:03
  And you're like, oh, wait a minute.
• 23:04
  I didn't realize I was doing that.
• 23:06
  Your thoughts influence your choices, guys.
• 23:08
  Your choices become your habits, and your habits
• 23:12
  shape your future.
• 23:14
  Strengthening your mindset today creates opportunities you'll benefit
• 23:21
  from for years to come.
• 23:24
  As we close the show, I want to
• 23:26
  remind you to definitely check out Monica's.
• 23:28
  They're at monicasrestaurant.net.
• 23:32
  You can tell them you heard about them
• 23:34
  on the Inspirations for Your Life show, Jason
• 23:35
  Academy.
• 23:36
  And Monica's, if you're listening, I hope you'll
• 23:38
  go to Jason Academy.
• 23:39
  I hope you will invite us to host
• 23:43
  a show there at your location, and we
• 23:45
  can help build some community and tell your
• 23:46
  story.
• 23:47
  So ladies and gentlemen, challenges are unavoidable parts
• 23:50
  of life.
• 23:51
  But they don't have to control your future.
• 23:54
  When you strengthen your mind before adversity arrives,
• 23:57
  you develop the confidence, resilience, and emotional discipline
• 24:02
  to respond with clarity rather than fear.
• 24:05
  And what's fear?
• 24:06
  False evidence appearing real.
• 24:08
  I learned that from a friend of mine
• 24:09
  many years ago.
• 24:10
  Every positive thought, every lesson learned, every obstacle
• 24:14
  overcome, and every intentional decision becomes another brick
• 24:20
  in the foundation.
• 24:21
  It might be the cornerstone of a longer,
• 24:24
  stronger life.
• 24:25
  Remember, ladies and gentlemen, that mental strength isn't
• 24:28
  built in a single extraordinary moment.
• 24:30
  We've said this before.
• 24:31
  It's developed through hundreds of ordinary decisions made
• 24:35
  consistently over time.
• 24:37
  Even though we have different subtopics each day,
• 24:40
  some topics kind of interleave back to other
• 24:43
  things, kind of flash them back.
• 24:45
  Continue investing in your mindset, ladies and gentlemen.
• 24:48
  Protect your perspectives.
• 24:50
  Remain adaptable and trust that every challenge is
• 24:54
  preparing you for something greater.
• 24:57
  Your greatest growth often begins just outside your
• 25:02
  comfort zone.
• 25:03
  So push it.
• 25:05
  Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen, for
• 25:06
  choosing to join me for another amazing episode
• 25:09
  of the ever-popular Inspirations for Your Life
• 25:12
  show that's almost on the air, basically over,
• 25:16
  well, it's going to be over five years
• 25:19
  in a few more months.
• 25:20
  December 31st, we will be over five years.
• 25:22
  That's a pretty important milestone to celebrate that.
• 25:29
  I think that's something a lot of people
• 25:30
  don't realize, but it definitely is important to
• 25:35
  understand.
• 25:36
  Ladies and gentlemen, I am Jon Seymour, serial
• 25:39
  entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer, podcast host,
• 25:45
  coach, keynote speaker, graduate student at Montclair State
• 25:48
  University, a passionate lifelong learner, and now so
• 25:53
  grateful to be a published author.
• 25:56
  Oh, my book, Training to Driven.
• 25:59
  Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, I want
• 26:02
  you to remember something, that a strong mind
• 26:05
  is built long before life's biggest tests arrive.
• 26:09
  So even if your test or your challenge
• 26:11
  hasn't shown up, it's never too late or
• 26:15
  too early to build a strong mind.
• 26:18
  You see, ladies and gentlemen, keep learning, okay?
• 26:25
  Keep preparing, keep believing in yourself.
• 26:32
  And I know those things sound like words,
• 26:36
  and it's easier to say it than to
• 26:38
  do it, but we're being truthful here.
• 26:41
  And the next part's not easy, but I
• 26:46
  really want you to embrace this with your
• 26:48
  whole heart, mind, and body.
• 26:51
  Please, please, please continue building the habits
• 26:59
  that shape an extraordinary life, because the strongest
• 27:07
  version of you is created one thought, one
• 27:16
  choice, and one day at a time.
• 27:24
  So let's enjoy our moments together.
• 27:27
  Let's be mindful of the time we have.
• 27:31
  We may not be able to get more
• 27:33
  time in life, but we can put more
• 27:36
  life in our time.
• 27:38
  And when we do that, our time will
• 27:40
  slow down and we'll appreciate what's going on.
• 27:46
  I know these just sound like words, but
• 27:48
  when you truly put this into your mind
• 27:52
  and you practice it, your world changes.
• 27:56
  Again, I'm John C.
• 27:57
  Morley, serial entrepreneur.
