The Hardest Choice Could Change Your Entire Life (S5) S36:E4 Tuesday · Inspirations for Your Life

0:22
Well, hello there, everyone, and welcome once again
0:26
to the ever-popular Inspirations for Your Life
0:28
show.
0:28
I'm so glad you decided to join me.
0:30
First, a few apologies beyond my control.
0:35
We had been switching software for a while.
0:38
We were StreamYard for a long time in
0:41
the very beginning.
0:41
And then after that, we had an important
0:44
show to do around the holidays, and we
0:47
couldn't get into our system when we were
0:48
traveling.
0:49
And their response was, well, basically, we have
0:53
no more phone support.
0:55
And they said to send an email.
0:59
So I sent an email.
0:59
I waited.
1:00
It took several days.
1:02
It was a holiday, and it was an
1:04
emergency.
1:05
I mean, this is supposed to be support.
1:07
And they didn't give it to us.
1:09
So I made a decision that we were
1:10
leaving them.
1:14
And so we found another company.
1:19
And well, that company we've been with for
1:21
a while, which was OneStream Live.
1:24
And I got to tell you, the software
1:26
wasn't perfect, but it worked OK.
1:29
It wasn't phenomenal.
1:32
And then what happened was they decided to
1:35
do an upgrade, OK?
1:36
So OneStream Live, they're out of Finland.
1:40
You guys can Google and find their information.
1:43
First of all, I do not recommend using
1:45
the company, and I'll tell you why.
1:48
They have very nice people that answer the
1:50
phone and things.
1:51
I mean, the answer, I should say, the
1:52
chat, they're not really.
1:53
They will do calls if you need a
1:55
call.
1:56
So that's kind of handy.
1:58
All right.
1:59
But the big problem I have is that
2:02
they don't know what the heck they're talking
2:04
about.
2:06
And so I went to go use the
2:08
software this morning to do a stream for
2:11
something else.
2:12
And I got a message.
2:13
It was like eight thirty, nine thirty this
2:14
morning saying the system is down for updates.
2:18
It says we'll be back in an hour.
2:20
So that was like nine thirty.
2:22
And so then I came back and nine
2:24
thirty comes and says, oh, we'll be back
2:26
in an hour.
2:28
Ten thirty.
2:29
Ten thirty changes.
2:30
It's eleven thirty.
2:33
And I was trying to upload the day
2:35
in the life with John show, and I
2:38
couldn't do that was a real mess.
2:40
So I checked later on the afternoon, like
2:42
three o'clock, and I couldn't copy and
2:44
paste things in.
2:45
So that was a real disaster.
2:49
So I'm like, this is absolutely insane and
2:52
still not working.
2:54
And then I decided to do the inspiration
2:57
for your life show before.
2:58
And there are a lot of hiccups with
3:00
it.
3:00
Spend some time fixing stuff.
3:04
The templates didn't work properly.
3:05
It was just a whole mess.
3:08
I complained to them.
3:10
It was completely useless, unfortunately.
3:13
And so I said, oh, I'm going to
3:14
put up with this a little while longer.
3:16
But now this is like, you know, we're
3:18
going almost.
3:19
Let's see.
3:20
So it was in the morning was like
3:21
nine thirty.
3:21
So ten thirty, eleven thirty, twelve thirty, one
3:23
thirty, two thirty.
3:25
Yeah.
3:25
So yeah.
3:26
So ten thirty, eleven thirty, twelve thirty, one
3:28
thirty, two thirty, three thirty, four thirty, five
3:30
thirty, six thirty, seven thirty, eight thirty, nine,
3:32
ten.
3:33
Over 12 hours, more than that, guys.
3:35
And this wasn't resolved.
3:37
And so that really kind of annoyed me.
3:47
And I think a lot of people didn't
3:52
expect this.
3:53
So my big thing I said to that
3:54
was, hey, guys, you know, if there was
3:56
an update schedule, don't you think it would
3:58
be a smart idea to actually let people
4:00
know?
4:00
They said we did notify people.
4:01
Well, you have software that people log in
4:03
and use every day.
4:04
Why don't you put a banner on the
4:05
top and say, hey, we're performing system maintenance.
4:08
We do this all the time.
4:09
And it'll be done on this day.
4:12
And you can't miss it.
4:13
You have to see the banner every time
4:14
you log in.
4:16
They weren't that bright.
4:18
And so they got people over there trying
4:21
the hardest they can.
4:22
But I'll be honest, they're not software developers.
4:25
So if you're a podcaster, you're a creator
4:28
like I am, an author or keynote speaker,
4:30
do not use OneStream Live.
4:34
It is very pretty.
4:35
It looks nice with their new features that
4:37
they have, but they don't work.
4:40
And it's a mess.
4:42
Now, let me tell you how bad this
4:43
got.
4:44
So after I spent 90 minutes trying to
4:47
get everything ready for the show, OK, and
4:50
usually doesn't take long, it takes like five
4:51
or 10 minutes.
4:52
So after I got all that ready and
4:54
then I went on the air, I always
4:56
check to see what's going on.
4:58
Well, this time the levels look fine.
5:02
After the show, I checked it.
5:03
There was no audio.
5:05
OK, I'm like, really?
5:06
There's no audio.
5:07
But it got worse than that.
5:09
Before I discovered there was no audio.
5:11
They couldn't even get my camera to work.
5:13
My camera was showing the image in the
5:15
preview, but it would not show it on
5:16
the show.
5:17
I said, this is like nonsense.
5:19
So I reached out to them.
5:22
And I said, this is crazy.
5:26
And and I can't believe that a company
5:30
like this, again, they are called One Stream
5:32
Live and they are just terrible.
5:36
And I don't like to complain, but I
5:38
have been so patient with these people for
5:39
months.
5:40
And so that's why there was such a
5:41
delay in the show.
5:42
So, again, I do apologize about that.
5:46
All right, guys, let's go ahead and let's
5:50
jump into today's show.
5:51
But again, I do want to thank you.
5:52
This is your very first time being here.
5:54
I want to take time to say thank
5:56
you.
5:57
And I want to say the words welcome.
5:59
We've been here one five times, 10, 100
6:01
or more or forgot the count.
6:03
I like to say thank you and welcome
6:04
and also welcome back.
6:05
You guys are always welcome on my show.
6:07
And I really do appreciate that here.
6:12
So I want to definitely thank you for
6:14
being here.
6:14
This is a great week that we're having.
6:15
Oh, if you're thirsty or hungry or what
6:17
have you, I got a delicious decaf hot
6:19
tea here.
6:23
But that was pretty pathetic, guys, when I
6:25
had to resort to putting up a thumbnail
6:28
of me, a picture on the screen, because
6:30
the camera didn't work.
6:32
They were just a black screen or just
6:34
a logo screen.
6:35
So that was just really bad.
6:37
So, yeah, they're definitely gone.
6:40
And so we're waiting for them to do
6:41
a refund.
6:42
So now we're with Restream Live.
6:43
Hopefully they're going to work out well.
6:46
So, ladies and gentlemen, the hardest choice could
6:51
change your entire life.
6:53
This is basically series five or season five,
6:57
show 36, episode number four.
7:01
Welcome, everyone, to another amazing episode of the
7:03
Inspirations for Your Life show.
7:05
I am John C.
7:06
Morley.
7:07
I'm a serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video
7:10
producer, podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, a graduate
7:15
student at Montclair State University.
7:17
And so grateful now to be a published
7:20
author.
7:21
Yes, guys, great to be published.
7:23
It's wonderful.
7:24
So our master weekly topic, in case you
7:27
guys did not know, is living in a
7:30
life you never chose.
7:32
OK, living in a life you never chose.
7:34
So today I'm talking about the hardest choice
7:39
that could change your entire life.
7:41
OK, this is the truth.
7:42
Sometimes the choice that moves your life forward
7:45
is the one you keep avoiding.
7:47
We wait for confidence, certainly.
7:51
You know, and we try to do that
7:53
with a lot of patience.
7:57
Right.
7:58
But it can be challenging.
8:02
OK, as we move through life.
8:06
And so the growth doesn't always feel comfortable.
8:09
Sometimes the decision that challenges us today creates
8:14
a better tomorrow for us, but it doesn't
8:15
seem like that when we're starting.
8:17
So let's get into our 30 points.
8:19
OK, number one, easy isn't always better.
8:23
Easy isn't always better.
8:25
And I know that might sound that might
8:28
sound hard for you to understand.
8:31
But this is the key, guys.
8:33
Yeah, easy asks.
8:36
Less from you today, but today's easiest decision
8:40
can create tomorrow's biggest problem or nightmare.
8:44
Don't judge a choice only by how comfortable
8:48
it feels to you at the moment.
8:50
Ask where it leads.
8:53
Number two, stop treating discomfort like a warning
8:56
sign.
8:57
OK, discomfort doesn't automatically mean something is wrong.
9:01
No, learning, changing, setting boundaries and trying something
9:06
unfamiliar and feel uncomfortable while still moving you
9:10
forward in the right direction.
9:11
Number three, guys, growth often asks something difficult
9:15
from you.
9:16
Growth may require changing a habit, accepting feedback,
9:19
learning something new, admitting a mistake or entering
9:22
unfamiliar territory.
9:24
The different future usually requires different choices.
9:29
Number four, choose what strengthens you.
9:33
Difficulty alone is invaluable.
9:35
Choose challenges that develop discipline, knowledge, judgment, resilience,
9:39
confidence and capability.
9:42
The goal isn't suffering.
9:45
It's becoming stronger.
9:47
So that's important for us to realize.
9:50
Right.
9:50
We want to become stronger, be a better
9:52
person every day.
9:53
Number five, stop escaping every uncomfortable situation.
9:57
People want to stay comfortable.
9:58
I get it.
9:59
Right.
9:59
But if we want to learn, we've got
10:02
to get a little uncomfortable.
10:03
OK, got to roll up our sleeves to
10:05
get a little uncomfortable.
10:06
If you escape whenever something becomes uncomfortable, discomfort
10:10
begins controlling your decisions, sometimes staying present long
10:15
enough to understand the situation is where the
10:18
growth will actually begin.
10:20
But you've got to have the courage to
10:21
do that.
10:21
All right.
10:22
Number six, learn the difference between danger and
10:25
discomfort.
10:26
Real danger deserves an appropriate response.
10:30
Discomfort may simply mean something is, well, let's
10:34
say, unfamiliar at the moment.
10:37
Knowing the difference keeps fear from automatically choosing
10:40
your direction.
10:42
Number seven, difficult decisions can create easier futures.
10:48
Yeah, they can.
10:50
Learning the skill is difficult.
10:52
Establishing a boundary is difficult.
10:56
Having the conversation, of course, you know, guys,
10:59
is that's right.
11:01
It's difficult.
11:04
Yeah, it is difficult.
11:06
But today's difficult decisions may prevent tomorrow's larger
11:10
problem.
11:11
So number eight is stop expecting growth to
11:14
feel convenient.
11:16
Growth doesn't wait for an empty calendar or
11:19
perfect motivation.
11:22
Challenges and opportunities can arrive when you're busy,
11:26
you're tired or even uncertain about what you're
11:29
doing.
11:30
Number nine, do what your future requires.
11:35
Ask what the person you're trying to become
11:37
needs you to do today.
11:39
Your future is being influenced by the decisions
11:42
you're making right now.
11:44
Number 10, choose discipline when motivation disappears.
11:51
That tea is delicious.
11:53
So motivation changes us.
11:56
Discipline keeps you moving when excitement disappears because
11:59
the excitement does wane, right?
12:02
If something matters, don't make your commitment completely
12:05
dependent on today's feelings.
12:08
Okay.
12:08
Number 11, let discomfort teach you.
12:11
Instead of immediately escaping discomfort, investigate it.
12:15
What is it revealing?
12:17
Maybe there's a skill to develop, a fear
12:19
to understand, or a conversation you've avoided.
12:24
Number 12, stop negotiating with every challenge.
12:30
Once you've determined something matters, don't reopen the
12:33
entire decision whenever it becomes inconvenient.
12:37
Constant negotiation uses energy.
12:40
You could be spending and actually achieving your
12:43
progress.
12:44
If people don't think about the energy they
12:47
burn.
12:48
Number 13, build your tolerance for difficult moments.
12:51
You don't need every moment to feel comfortable.
12:55
Learn to think clearly when you're frustrated, uncertain,
12:58
or even under pressure.
13:00
You see that ability expands what you can
13:03
actually handle.
13:05
All right.
13:06
Number 14, choose long-term benefit over immediate
13:10
relief.
13:11
Immediate relief feels good.
13:13
Avoiding the conversation or postponing the decision feels
13:17
much easier, but ask what today's relief might
13:21
cost tomorrow.
13:22
We don't think about that often, right?
13:25
But we need to think about what we
13:28
do today has consequences tomorrow.
13:31
All right.
13:32
Number 15, stop quitting because progress becomes uncomfortable.
13:39
I said success is going to happen when
13:40
it gets uncomfortable.
13:42
So just deal with that.
13:44
Beginnings can be exciting.
13:45
Eventually the work becomes repetitive or difficult.
13:48
Don't automatically interpret discomfort as evidence that you're
13:52
on the wrong path.
13:54
Okay.
13:55
Might be teaching you something, how to pivot,
13:58
right?
13:58
How to turn.
13:59
Number 16, let resistance reveal where growth is
14:03
needed.
14:04
Notice what you repeatedly avoid.
14:07
Resistance doesn't always mean you should push forward,
14:10
but it can reveal something important.
14:12
Understand why you're resisting.
14:15
Hmm.
14:18
We resist things we're fearful of.
14:20
And then we need to learn a lesson.
14:23
Number 17, make the call you've been avoiding,
14:27
right?
14:28
Make that call, right?
14:30
Make the call you've been avoiding.
14:32
Sometimes one phone call occupies your thoughts for
14:35
days, prepares yourself, know what you need to
14:38
communicate and what the call is about.
14:42
Anticipation can become worse than the actual reality.
14:46
And that can keep people up for days.
14:49
Number 18, have the conversation.
14:54
You're post-spo.
14:56
Avoiding a difficult conversation doesn't make the issue
14:59
disappear.
15:00
Respectful honesty today can prevent resentment, confusion, larger
15:05
problems and disaster tomorrow.
15:07
So why not nip it in the bud
15:09
today?
15:11
Number 19, start before you feel completely ready.
15:15
Preparation matters, but complete readiness may never arrive.
15:20
Eventually another hour of thinking becomes less valuable
15:23
than taking the first responsible step.
15:27
We gotta be aware of these things, guys.
15:30
Number 20, stop waiting for courage to feel
15:33
comfortable.
15:33
It's not going to arrive.
15:35
Courage doesn't require fear to disappoint.
15:37
You can understand this uncertainty, feel nervous, and
15:40
still make a thoughtful decision to move forward,
15:43
guys.
15:43
Number 21, accept temporary difficulty for lasting improvement.
15:49
Many worthwhile changes require adjustment.
15:53
Learning takes effort.
15:54
Building takes time.
15:55
New habits require repetition.
15:58
Temporary difficulty can create lasting improvement.
16:02
Choose growth even when nobody applauds.
16:06
Yeah.
16:08
You see, you don't need somebody to pat
16:09
you on the back.
16:10
You don't need somebody to say, yeah, you
16:12
did a great job.
16:13
Be your own cheerleader.
16:15
Some of your most important decisions happen privately.
16:18
You don't need applause, recognition, likes, or permission
16:21
for every improvement you're making, of course not.
16:25
Number 23, let difficult experiences build the capability
16:29
you've been waiting for.
16:30
When you overcome something challenging, don't only celebrate
16:33
that it's finished.
16:35
Ask what you learned and what you're now
16:38
better prepared to handle.
16:40
Number 24, stop running toward whatever feels easiest.
16:45
A lot of people do this.
16:47
And so ease isn't automatically bad, but it
16:52
shouldn't determine every direction.
16:54
If every choice is based on avoiding discomfort,
16:58
you can quietly limit your future.
17:02
And I don't think people want to limit
17:03
their future, but it just sort of happens.
17:07
Number 25, make choices your future self will
17:11
actually appreciate.
17:13
Imagine yourself one year from today, looking back
17:16
at this decision, which choice would that future
17:20
version of me be grateful that I made?
17:25
We don't think about the fact that our
17:29
choices and our thoughts and our actions, they
17:32
have consequences.
17:33
There's positive consequences and negative consequences, right?
17:36
Just like there's good karma and bad karma.
17:38
I always say what you put out in
17:40
the world will always come back to you.
17:42
Not today, not tomorrow, not next week, but
17:44
it will come back to you.
17:45
That I, that I do do promise you.
17:47
So number 26 guys, trust yourself through uncertainty.
17:52
Trust doesn't mean believing everything will work perfectly.
17:56
It means believing you can think, learn, adjust,
17:58
and respond as new information becomes available.
18:03
Not hard guys.
18:04
You can actually do this every single day
18:08
of your life.
18:10
Number 27, become stronger through deliberate challenges.
18:14
You see capability develops through use.
18:17
Choose challenges that responsibly stretch you, learn what
18:21
works for you, adjust what doesn't, and allow
18:24
experiences to make you stronger than you are
18:27
right now.
18:28
I think a lot of people today, they
18:33
get confused with the word stronger means.
18:35
Stronger doesn't mean that you're going to have,
18:39
um, you know, the ability to lift anything
18:43
you want.
18:43
That's not what I mean by strong.
18:44
I'm talking about strong mentally, not just physically.
18:47
I'm talking about mentally.
18:49
And when we are able to be strong
18:51
mentally, the limit to what we can do
18:54
is nothing.
18:56
All right.
18:56
You can do anything we want.
18:58
Number 28, comfort can quietly become a cage.
19:04
Comfort feels safe because it's familiar, but familiar
19:08
doesn't automatically mean good guys.
19:10
Sometimes we remain somewhere without growing because we
19:15
know what to expect.
19:16
And we're afraid to go beyond the cup,
19:19
beyond the envelope, right?
19:23
We know that when we get up in
19:25
the morning, this is what we're going to
19:26
expect.
19:26
Or we know that when we do this,
19:28
this is what we're going to expect.
19:28
We're not chasing for something else, right?
19:32
We're not trying to learn anything really special.
19:36
Number 29 guys, the harder road may lead
19:41
somewhere better.
19:42
I know you might say, but John, I
19:44
always want to take the easier road.
19:46
It's going to be much better for me,
19:47
but it's actually not.
19:49
The harder option isn't automatically right.
19:51
And the easiest isn't automatically wrong.
19:56
Look, is it automatically wrong?
19:58
And so what I mean by that is
19:59
look beyond the first few steps and ask
20:03
yourself where each road actually takes me, where
20:06
is it going to lead me?
20:07
Is it going to take me to a
20:10
new frontier that could give me some great
20:12
opportunities or is it going to lead me
20:15
somewhere that's going to give me chaos and
20:18
disaster and disappointment, right?
20:22
We have a right in life to make
20:24
the choices we want.
20:26
We want to do it politely.
20:28
We don't want to be rude, but we
20:31
don't need to apologize to someone that we're
20:33
actually taking a different pathway.
20:36
No, we don't need to do that.
20:39
Okay.
20:40
The hardest option isn't automatically right, guys.
20:43
You probably knew that.
20:45
And the easiest isn't automatically wrong.
20:48
So look beyond the first few steps and
20:52
ask where each road actually will lead you.
20:55
You'll be able to tell if you're on
20:58
the right pathway.
20:59
Number 30, choose the difficulty that moves your
21:02
life forward.
21:04
Life contains difficulty, whether we choose it or
21:07
not.
21:08
There's the difficulty of learning and the difficulty
21:10
of remaining unprepared.
21:13
There's the difficulty of discipline and the difficulty
21:16
of consequences.
21:17
There's the difficulty of an honest conversation and
21:21
the difficulty of allowing a problem to grow.
21:24
There's the difficulty of setting a boundary and
21:27
the difficulty of repeatedly allowing it to be
21:29
crossed.
21:31
There's the difficulty of starting and the difficulty
21:34
of wondering what might have happened if I
21:38
actually try.
21:40
So I want to encourage everyone today, regardless
21:43
of what you're thinking, to start choosing things
21:46
intentionally, not just because they're there.
21:50
See, that's where today's episode connects to our
21:53
master weekly topic.
21:55
Stop living in a life you never chose.
21:58
We began this week by questioning rules we
22:00
may have inherited.
22:02
Then we asked whether the goals we're chasing
22:05
genuinely belong to us.
22:07
Next, we examined how our thinking influences our
22:12
direction.
22:13
Today, awareness has to become action.
22:17
You can recognize what isn't working.
22:19
You can understand why.
22:20
You can even know what probably needs to
22:23
happen next, if you're intentional.
22:26
Eventually, you have to choose, ladies and gentlemen.
22:28
Maybe you need to say yes or you
22:32
need to say no.
22:33
Maybe you need to leave something behind or
22:36
begin something new.
22:38
Maybe you need to admit something isn't working,
22:41
ask for help, or establish a boundary.
22:44
Maybe you simply need to take the first
22:46
step without knowing exactly what step 10 will
22:51
look like.
22:52
Courage, folks, isn't always dramatic.
22:55
Sometimes courage is making the call while you're
22:59
nervous.
23:00
It's asking the question even though you may
23:02
not like the answer.
23:04
It's saying no when yes would be easier.
23:07
It's beginning when nobody can guarantee the outcome.
23:11
But difficulty by itself isn't growth.
23:15
Ask whether the difficulty is taking you somewhere
23:17
worthwhile or leading you on a goose chase.
23:20
Is it developing capability?
23:22
Is it protecting something important?
23:24
Is it solving a problem that avoidance would
23:26
make worse?
23:27
Is it moving you toward the life you
23:30
genuinely want?
23:32
Now that we can think about that, let's
23:36
ponder one decision you've been postponing.
23:38
And let's make a decision on it.
23:41
What are you waiting for?
23:42
More information, more confidence, permission, perfect timing, a
23:46
guarantee, not going to happen.
23:48
If you need more information, go get it.
23:50
If you need preparation, prepare for it.
23:53
If you need qualified guidance, go seek it.
23:56
But don't you dare wait forever for uncertainty
23:58
to disappear because it's not going to.
24:01
At some point, make the best responsible decision
24:04
you can with the information available.
24:06
Then learn, adjust, respond, and keep moving.
24:11
That's how experiences develops.
24:15
That's how capability grows.
24:16
That's how confidence becomes real.
24:19
Sometimes an entire life begins changing because you
24:22
finally made the call, had the conversation, established
24:26
the boundary, started something new, or stopped something
24:30
that no longer belongs in your future.
24:33
So ask yourself one final question.
24:36
Can you do that?
24:38
What difficult choice would genuinely move my life
24:43
forward right now?
24:47
And when you get the answer, don't be
24:49
afraid to respond.
24:51
Don't ask which choice looks impressive or gets
24:55
the most applause.
24:55
Who really cares?
24:58
It's not the big steps that lead to
25:01
success.
25:02
Took me a lot of years to learn
25:03
this.
25:03
It's the small, consistent steps that put us
25:08
on the path to success.
25:10
Don't automatically choose whatever feels easiest.
25:15
Ask where it leads.
25:18
Ask what it builds.
25:21
Ask what it costs.
25:24
Then make the decision your future self will
25:27
be grateful you made.
25:29
I think a lot of people today are
25:32
going to hedge that because they're not really
25:34
sure of where it's going.
25:39
And I get that, Lee.
25:40
I really do get that.
25:42
But I think we have to realize that
25:44
there is no perfect time for any of
25:47
this.
25:48
That's important, guys.
25:49
And I think the sooner you understand that,
25:52
the sooner your life is going to change.
25:55
Ladies and gentlemen, I am John C.
25:57
Morley.
25:57
I'm a serial entrepreneur, engineer, and so much
26:00
more.
26:00
And remember, ladies and gentlemen, easy isn't always
26:04
better.
26:07
Discomfort isn't automatically danger.
26:11
Courage doesn't have to feel comfortable.
26:15
Your future may require something from you that
26:18
your present self would rather avoid.
26:21
It could be learning a new skill.
26:24
It could be starting a new relationship.
26:28
It could be accepting constructive criticism.
26:33
It could be learning how to give constructive
26:35
criticism to other people.
26:40
Your future may require something from you that
26:42
your present self would rather avoid.
26:44
What is that?
26:44
Let's ask that again.
26:46
I think it comes down to the fact
26:48
that maybe we feel we're not ready yet.
26:51
Or not this, or I'm not this, or
26:52
I'm not that.
26:53
And the more you say, I'm not, I'm
26:54
not, I'm not, that's exactly what you're going
26:57
to get.
26:58
And you're going to keep building the fact
27:00
that you're really not confident.
27:02
But if we change the verbiage, guess what?
27:06
We're going to feel a lot better.
27:08
I want to invite all of you right
27:10
now to please choose intentionally, carefully.
27:18
And when difficulty is unavoidable, choose the difficulty
27:23
that moves your life forward.
27:28
Guys, that's a lot.
27:30
That's a lot to think about, isn't it?
27:33
It's a lot.
27:34
But you guys can do this.
27:36
You have this.
27:37
You have to understand that it's about you.
27:41
Okay.
27:42
It's about your choices.
27:45
And the fact that you don't need somebody
27:48
to cheer you on or to pat you
27:51
on the back.
27:53
You're more powerful than you think.
27:55
I'm John C.
