• 1:43

• 1:48
  that's why i decided hey listen 2026 it's already here we're already here You're
• 1:54
  already here And I would just want to share this story.
• 1:58
  Because if there's one thing in life We're all human beings here If you know
• 2:03
  that somebody's out there Listen to another planet Another universe,
• 2:06
  another galaxy Hey, by all means, hit me up You could also hit the like,
• 2:11
  comment, and share Wow, imagine that I'll be the first person Where these extra
• 2:16
  life forms Are sharing throughout the whole galaxy Let's go Woo!
• 2:23
  But again, for the most part, we are human beings and we deal with so many ups and downs in life.
• 2:28
  And we always and many of us have been in the situation where we know we need to make changes.
• 2:34
  We just don't know how to start. We don't know how to finish.
• 2:37
  We don't know. You know, we don't know. Right.
• 2:39
  As you and I and I always said to myself, oh, we in the same boat here.
• 2:45
  I saw you listening to this podcast. Amen. And one of the things that I'm going
• 2:50
  to open up in the upcoming weeks, and especially this year, I have an interesting,
• 2:55
  interesting story to tell.
• 2:57
  It's been nine years in the making, and it's one of those things where I find myself,
• 3:02
  that I say to myself, and I feel it deep in my conscience, that it's not too
• 3:08
  late to open up about a certain aspect, certain situation in my life.
• 3:13
  Because I said, you know what?
• 3:15
  Life works in wonders and a lot of things happen for a reason and great things
• 3:19
  happen for those who believe in weight.
• 3:22
  And we always, for those out there listening, you know, that find themselves, we need to make changes.
• 3:29
  David, I don't know, you can feel reach out to me.
• 3:33
  But once again, what we're facing and we're looking at each other in the mirror,
• 3:37
  what we're facing with problems that once again we need to make changes,
• 3:41
  we kind of tend to ask that question. Is it too late?
• 3:46
  Is it too late to learn? Is it too late to change?
• 3:49
  Is it too late to do this? Is it too late to do that?
• 3:52
  And many of us, we know the answer.
• 3:55
  Whether it's a yes or no, we always want to be realistic on what exactly it
• 3:59
  is that one wants to do something that's asking yourself that.
• 4:04
  A couple of episodes ago, if you're a certain age and you want to be an astral, by all means.
• 4:11
  Hey, by all means, but you know, sadly, there are criterias that you would need
• 4:14
  in order to become an astronaut, but it doesn't mean that you can't get closer
• 4:19
  to it. So the question is, is it too late?
• 4:22
  What does it take for one to get that dedication to be like,
• 4:27
  hey, listen, because I always have said a lot of times in life,
• 4:32
  it's not about motivation. It's about that discipline.
• 4:35
  And we're always going to face with these problems, with these things,
• 4:39
  whether it's somewhere in our professional life, in our personal life,
• 4:43
  and whatever that's in between.
• 4:45
  We're always going to be surrounded by so many circumstances that we get, in a way, stuck.
• 4:53
  We get complacent. And a lot of times we are just Addictive to be complacent Because for some reason,
• 5:02
  Our mind and body and soul And heart and all that good stuff We're just not
• 5:06
  in the same place Not in the same room.
• 5:09
  Everybody's having their little problems going on But hey, we are one,
• 5:14
  So we got to get those things together So that we can once and for all Put ourselves
• 5:20
  in that situation where we can ask, or at least we can show that it's not too late.
• 5:27
  And often than not, there are circumstances and things that need to happen in life.
• 5:31
  And a lot of times it comes down to control. A lot of times it comes down to that discipline.
• 5:37
  A lot of times you just got to get out of that comfort zone,
• 5:40
  out of that thing that's going on, out of that complacency that is dragging you.
• 5:46
  A long time ago, I once heard a conversation. I'm out of this little nice bar
• 5:51
  going on, you know, paid the little parties.
• 5:54
  But hey, listen, it was mature audience having mature conversations.
• 5:58
  And I've overheard this beautiful lady who seemed to have more experience than I did.
• 6:06
  And they were talking, hey, you know what?
• 6:09
  Complacency is the mother of all evil. And I'm like, that struck a chord.
• 6:14
  Because at that time, this was a long time ago. You know, I'm a young man.
• 6:17
  I'm still a young man. Hey, let's go.
• 6:20
  Wait, still got my point A. Let's go. But you get the gist.
• 6:24
  At that point in my life, there were new things that were happening.
• 6:31
  You know, and I just started working in this beautiful place that I'm working at the moment.
• 6:36
  It's not even work. I call it my life or part of.
• 6:41
  And I started to think, like, wait a minute.
• 6:44
  David, look where you are now. Look where you are at that point.
• 6:47
  Ask yourself, and as I'm asking myself, but ask yourself, for those who are
• 6:52
  listening, to what point in your life you said to yourself, I need to make a change.
• 6:58
  How many New Year's resolutions I have in life?
• 7:01
  30, 40, 50, 60, 100. Can I make 10,000 New Year's resolution or all that good stuff? By all means.
• 7:10
  Once again, I always say sometimes you don't have to hit the reset button when
• 7:15
  the New Year starts, when the new calendar starts, or whatever calendar that
• 7:18
  you follow, different cultures, different regions and so on.
• 7:23
  Sometimes you don't have to. But sometimes we are left where we hit the reset
• 7:28
  button when there's circumstances that takes off from the path and from that complacency.
• 7:35
  And then once again, it begs the question, is it too late?
• 7:39
  There's a song out there. I know it was a reason it just played in my mind. Baby is too late.
• 7:47
  It's an old school song or a classic song. I wasn't born in that time, but you already know.
• 7:54
  Classic music that is classic. It's not old. what
• 7:57
  do you think that they call classic music that are 300 years
• 8:01
  old is classic just because something is 40 50 is classic hey listen it's not
• 8:06
  always classic but you know it's too late but it's never too late because there
• 8:13
  are many things in life that yes we are gonna say well you know it's too late
• 8:17
  too late yeah absolutely.
• 8:20
  If the train tells you that it's going to be there at 8 and you there at 0, 0, 0, 1, yeah, bye-bye.
• 8:28
  You were too late. That's when, that's too late. But I'm talking about there's
• 8:32
  certain things in life about making changes surrounding, making changes in your
• 8:37
  surroundings. You're waking up.
• 8:39
  You're, you know, throughout the life, 24 hours. You're 24 hours a day.
• 8:44
  What you do in your sleep.
• 8:45
  What you sleep on. Whatever it is, what you think on.
• 8:48
  What's the first thing? And once again, I always tell people,
• 8:51
  when you start your day, now I'm going to say it's this, a lot of people,
• 8:56
  they work in different jobs where for them the morning is the night,
• 9:00
  the afternoon is the evening.
• 9:02
  You get the just, but whenever you is in a situation, especially if you wake
• 9:07
  up in the morning, that first step, that first thought, that is going to take you somewhere.
• 9:12
  And I always say the way you wake up in the morning, a lot of times they take
• 9:16
  how your day is going to be.
• 9:18
  And a lot of times we have bad days but guess what we remember how we woke up
• 9:23
  that morning how did we get to the bad days hey listen we don't have control sometimes in life.
• 9:29
  But what we learn from that bad day we take it and that's when we turn a bad day into a great week,
• 9:36
  when we turn a great week then hey listen we have a whole great month and we
• 9:40
  have a great month we You have a legendary goddamn year. Woof, let's get it.
• 9:45
  I don't want anybody to feel discouraged that because of certain circumstances,
• 9:50
  don't think that it's too late.
• 9:52
  And I want people, again, just, you know, my stories that I'm going to be sharing,
• 9:56
  stories that you say to yourself, wow, David, really?
• 9:59
  I was like, yeah, really. One of the things that I always, that I believe in myself.
• 10:06
  Is there days that it's a little bit harder than others? Yes,
• 10:09
  absolutely. I'll be straight up.
• 10:13
  You want to do this? You want to do that? It's the needs and the wants and all that good stuff.
• 10:18
  And then all those things that is going and racing in your mind,
• 10:22
  your mind is racing at 100, 110 miles per hour. But guess what?
• 10:27
  Your body ain't. You're stuck in a broad or you're stuck complacent.
• 10:33
  You know, I always have this conversation with people who feel,
• 10:37
  yeah, I've been procrastinating.
• 10:39
  You know, procrastinating. Once again, it has been proven by the scholars of
• 10:46
  psychology and how the mind works is that, you know, a lot of times, sadly,
• 10:53
  procrastination is a form of depression.
• 10:55
  There's some things that trigger for want to do. Sometimes we get busy,
• 10:58
  but there's things that trigger for us not to do anything. And we just want
• 11:03
  to either this or that because, hey, sometimes I had a conversation with a young brother.
• 11:10
  You just became a father and, you know, he has not been resting.
• 11:14
  And because of that, you know, he also had been doing some content, took a big break.
• 11:18
  But from the little, you know, from what he was explaining to me,
• 11:21
  it started, you know, one week, one week, led to two, two, three, four, then months.
• 11:27
  And then he was like, well, you know, I think it's been a couple of months.
• 11:30
  It's been a few months that I did a podcast. I did it with all the content.
• 11:34
  And then, but he said, you know, I've been procrastinating. You know,
• 11:36
  he explains it. Hey, rightfully so, I get it.
• 11:40
  But then he kind of, in a sense, started to realize, wait a minute.
• 11:44
  There are times that I do have time, and I like just to lay down and relax and do nothing.
• 11:50
  He could have been doing some constant. You understand that?
• 11:52
  That's where the procrastination, because sometimes circumstances,
• 11:56
  when we lay out circumstances, sadly, guess what? They'll be knocking on our door.
• 12:03
  They'll be part of our life. And then you're going to start feeling like motionless, motionless.
• 12:09
  And you're going to start to feel like it's nothing that we could do and you
• 12:13
  know i'm this and i'm dealing with that and i'm in this situation and this and that it's always those,
• 12:19
  can you do this can you do it that it's always those things and then we tend
• 12:24
  to forget what is the most important thing about making a change and getting
• 12:29
  to that next level is us they ain't going to question,
• 12:34
  is it too late anymore?
• 12:36
  Because life and life, and I could tell you in life with many stories,
• 12:41
  tomorrow is never guaranteed.
• 12:45
  And when tomorrow is never guaranteed, then the question doesn't become, is it too late?
• 12:51
  It becomes a statement and becomes a mission that it's not too late to make a change.
