  ever-popular Inspirations for Your Life show.

  I'm so grateful you decided to join me

  If this is your very first time joining

  I say welcome.
• 0:49
  But if you've been here many times before,
• 0:51
  whether that's one, 10, 100, or maybe more,
• 0:53
  or maybe you lost track of the count,
• 0:54
  I'd like to say thank you and welcome.
• 0:56
  But of course, the words, ladies and gentlemen,
• 0:57
  welcome back.

  I have a delicious RO water here with
• 1:01
  some fresh lemon and it's pretty delicious.
• 1:09
  All right, guys.
• 1:10
  So let's get into the show, but before
• 1:12
  we do, I want to invite you to
• 1:13

• 1:21
  incidentally.
• 1:22
  All right, guys.
• 1:23
  Let's get in the show.
• 1:24
  So prove who you really are.
• 1:26
  Series five, show 44 episode.
• 1:29
  Yes, guys, it is episode number one.
• 1:34
  That means we're on a brand new master
• 1:36
  topic.
• 1:36
  We'll get to that in a second.
• 1:38
  Welcome everyone to the ever-popular Inspirations for
• 1:40
  Your Life show.
• 1:41
  I am John C.
• 1:42
  Morley, a serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video
• 1:48
  producer, podcast host, coach, a professional keynote speaker,
• 1:53
  a graduate student at Monteclair State University, a
• 1:56
  passionate lifelong learner, and so grateful now, ladies
• 1:59
  and gentlemen, to be a published author.
• 2:02
  So let me ask you something powerful.
• 2:04
  If someone followed you around for an entire
• 2:07
  week, watching your decisions, but never hearing your
• 2:11
  words, what would they learn about your character?
• 2:16
  Great question.
• 2:17
  Would they seek compassion, honesty, respect, courage, or
• 2:25
  would they discover a difference between what you
• 2:27
  say and what you actually do?
• 2:30
  You see, that's the question we're exploring here
• 2:33
  today.
• 2:34
  Our weekly master topic that kicks off today
• 2:36
  is stop saying you care.
• 2:39
  Start proving it.
• 2:41
  And today, Saturday, this is October 24th, 2026,
• 2:46
  if you're watching us live, I'm bringing you
• 2:49
  this entire seven-day journey so that we
• 2:53
  can prove who you really are.
• 2:55
  Our theme is live your values because, see,
• 2:59
  your character isn't a slogan, guys.
• 3:02
  No.
• 3:03
  It isn't a social media profile.
• 3:07
  And it certainly isn't measured by how impressive
• 3:10
  your promises sound.
• 3:13
  Your character is revealed through consistent action.
• 3:15
  We've talked about this before.
• 3:17
  Let's explore 30 powerful ways to prove who
• 3:20
  you really are right now.
• 3:22
  Number one, understand that your character is revealed
• 3:26
  through repeated choices.
• 3:29
  One good decision matters, but consistent behavior creates
• 3:33
  a pattern.
• 3:34
  That pattern tells people what you truly stand
• 3:37
  for.
• 3:38
  And I think that's something that a lot
• 3:39
  of people, you know, they get confused about.
• 3:41
  They don't really know what's happening.
• 3:43
  But I want to tell you that this
• 3:44
  is the key, guys.
• 3:47
  This is the key.
• 3:48
  This is the success of what life actually
• 3:52
  is about, okay?
• 3:54
  And that pattern tells people what you truly
• 3:56
  stand for.
• 3:57
  Number two, stop defining yourself only by the
• 4:01
  values you claim to hold.
• 4:03
  Saying you're honest or compassionate isn't enough.
• 4:06
  Your everyday decisions must demonstrate those qualities.
• 4:11
  Number three, recognize how compassion becomes meaningful through
• 4:16
  practical action.
• 4:19
  Caring thoughts are important, but reaching out, listening,
• 4:23
  and offering appropriate help can make a real
• 4:26
  difference for you.
• 4:28
  I think that's important for us to understand.
• 4:29
  Number four, stop ignoring the needs of others.
• 4:34
  When you have a reasonable opportunity to help,
• 4:36
  you cannot solve every problem, but you can
• 4:39
  recognize opportunities to make someone's day better.
• 4:45
  Number five, understand that fairness requires honesty even
• 4:50
  when personal gain is tempting.
• 4:53
  The real test comes when doing what's right
• 4:57
  means giving up an easy advantage.
• 5:02
  I know it's easy to do what's simple,
• 5:06
  but it might not always be the best
• 5:08
  for you and for the greater good of
• 5:09
  all concerned.
• 5:10
  Number six, guys, please recognize the importance of
• 5:14
  respecting people with different circumstances.
• 5:17
  Everyone has a story.
• 5:19
  You may not understand that.
• 5:20
  Treat people with dignity rather than making assumptions,
• 5:24
  right?
• 5:25
  I think that's important.
• 5:26
  A lot of people, they rush to judge,
• 5:29
  and they judge the book by its cover,
• 5:32
  and they really don't understand, like, what's going
• 5:34
  on.
• 5:35
  I think that's hard for a lot of
• 5:36
  people, but it is about truth, guys.
• 5:40
  Number seven, please stop allowing convenience to override
• 5:44
  your most important principles, the ones linked to
• 5:48
  your core values, that is.
• 5:49
  When the easier choice conflicts with your values,
• 5:53
  consider the consequences before acting.
• 5:57
  You know, a lot of people have that
• 5:58
  knee-jerk response, but they don't realize the
• 6:02
  consequences that are going to happen by them
• 6:04
  doing that, right?
• 6:05
  That's important.
• 6:06
  Number eight, learn to make responsible choices without
• 6:09
  seeking public approval.
• 6:11
  Integrity doesn't require an audience.
• 6:14
  Some of your most meaningful decisions happen privately.
• 6:17
  Yeah, you don't need an audience for that,
• 6:21
  guys.
• 6:22
  Number nine, recognize that healthy relationships depend on
• 6:26
  mutual respect.
• 6:28
  Strong connections require listening, honesty, consideration, and respect
• 6:33
  for reasonable boundaries.
• 6:37
  Nothing wrong with that, guys.
• 6:39
  That's something I think more people need to
• 6:41
  understand, that it's okay to have boundaries.
• 6:44
  Sometimes the boundaries will become less, sometimes they'll
• 6:48
  become more, and there's nothing wrong with any
• 6:52
  of that.
• 6:53
  I think that's a very important thing to
• 6:56
  understand and to realize that that's how it
• 7:00
  really works.
• 7:02
  That's how it really works, guys, and so
• 7:05
  you've got to be understanding that you have
• 7:09
  to understand where you're coming from or where
• 7:12
  other people are coming from.
• 7:14
  Number nine, recognize that healthy relationships depend on
• 7:18
  mutual respect.
• 7:19
  Strong connections require listening, honesty, consideration, and respect
• 7:26
  for reasonable boundaries, but some people don't do
• 7:29
  that.
• 7:29
  Number 10, stop confusing good intentions with meaningful
• 7:33
  results.
• 7:38
  Yeah, we have to do that because when
• 7:42
  we do that, our life changes.
• 7:46
  Whining to help is a beginning.
• 7:49
  It's not a complete accomplishment.
• 7:52
  Following through when you can, that's what it's
• 7:54
  about.
• 7:55
  Number 11, understand that resilience includes staying grounded
• 8:00
  during hardships.
• 8:01
  They happen.
• 8:03
  Difficult moments can test your patience and, of
• 8:07
  course, your principles that are linked to your
• 8:09
  core values.
• 8:10
  You can adapt without abandoning who you want
• 8:13
  to be, okay?
• 8:16
  But it's those hard times that show us
• 8:19
  the true character the person is made of.
• 8:21
  Number 12, recognize when setbacks reveal opportunities to
• 8:26
  strengthen your habits.
• 8:27
  Instead of allowing disappointments to define you, examine
• 8:31
  what you can learn and improve upon that.
• 8:36
  Number 13, stop expecting trust without demonstrating consistent
• 8:41
  reliability.
• 8:43
  People need to see that your actions match
• 8:46
  your commitments, right?
• 8:49
  If they don't see that, well, they're going
• 8:52
  to lose respect for you, and they're not
• 8:55
  going to want to be part of your
• 8:56
  life.
• 8:58
  Number 14, learn to acknowledge mistakes and correct
• 9:02
  them when possible.
• 9:04
  Everyone makes mistakes.
• 9:06
  Taking responsibility and ownership for that and making
• 9:10
  meaningful corrections demonstrates maturity, and people respect that.
• 9:16
  Number 15, recognize that leadership begins with the
• 9:20
  example you set today.
• 9:23
  You don't need a title to influence others.
• 9:26
  Your everyday behavior can encourage people to act
• 9:29
  responsibly.
• 9:31
  That's a key, guys, responsibly.
• 9:35
  Number 16, stop treating kindness as a performance
• 9:40
  for other people.
• 9:42
  It's not a show.
• 9:43
  Genuine kindness doesn't depend on attention, applause, or
• 9:48
  a photograph proving you helped.
• 9:51
  That's not what it's about.
• 9:53
  That's being phony.
• 9:55
  That's being false.
• 9:57
  That's being two-faced.
• 9:59
  Just being honest.
• 10:01
  Number 17, understand that personal values should guide
• 10:05
  ordinary decisions.
• 10:07
  Character isn't reserved for extraordinary moments.
• 10:12
  It's built through the small choices you make
• 10:16
  every day in your life.
• 10:20
  That's important, guys.
• 10:21
  Very, very important.
• 10:23
  Number 18, recognize the importance of protecting other
• 10:29
  people's dignity.
• 10:31
  Whether someone agrees with you or not, they
• 10:35
  deserve to be treated with basic respect.
• 10:39
  Stop making commitments that conflict with your actual
• 10:44
  capacity.
• 10:46
  Be realistic about your time and your resources.
• 10:51
  An honest limitation is better than empty promise.
• 10:55
  So many people make empty promises, and then
• 10:58
  they've got to make apologies for things that
• 11:02
  didn't happen because they didn't basically do what
• 11:06
  they said they were going to do.
• 11:07
  A lot of people talk, and talk is
• 11:09
  cheap, but it's action that builds the character
• 11:13
  in private and determines the reputation in public.
• 11:18
  Number 20, learn to balance compassion with healthy
• 11:23
  personal boundaries.
• 11:24
  Supporting others doesn't mean neglecting your own responsibilities
• 11:27
  or accepting unreasonable demands.
• 11:31
  Some people think you have to do that
• 11:33
  because that's just the way it goes.
• 11:35
  No, that's a misnomer.
• 11:37
  Okay, that is absolutely a misnomer and something
• 11:40
  I think a lot of people miss.
• 11:45
  We have to really embrace that, okay?
• 11:48
  Number 21, recognize how small repeated actions shape
• 11:54
  your reputation.
• 11:55
  Remember, you build your character, but your character
• 11:59
  in public is actually your reputation.
• 12:06
  Being dependable, respectful, and fair in everyday situations
• 12:12
  creates lasting impressions, ones that make other people
• 12:17
  want to get to know you better, get
• 12:19
  closer with you, work with you, et cetera,
• 12:23
  okay?
• 12:24
  Number 22, please stop assuming that growth happens
• 12:28
  automatically with experience.
• 12:30
  That's not true.
• 12:31
  Time alone doesn't guarantee wisdom.
• 12:34
  Be nice if it did, but that doesn't
• 12:35
  mean it does.
• 12:36
  Growth requires reflection, effort, and a willingness to
• 12:40
  change.
• 12:42
  Einstein said this a long time ago.
• 12:44
  Doing the same thing over and over again
• 12:47
  and expecting different results, what do we call
• 12:48
  it, ladies and gentlemen?
• 12:49
  Insanity.
• 12:51
  So we need to change what we're doing
• 12:53
  or we're going to get the same result.
• 12:55
  Number 23, understand that integrity requires reflection and
• 13:01
  deliberate practice.
• 13:04
  Regularly asking whether your behavior supports your values.
• 13:08
  Then make adjustments when it's necessary.
• 13:14
  And you learn from the lesson.
• 13:16
  If the experience wasn't good, forget the experience,
• 13:20
  but just keep the lesson.
• 13:23
  A lot of people I talk to say,
• 13:24
  oh, this was a horrible thing.
• 13:25
  This is what happened.
• 13:26
  Okay, what did you learn out of it?
• 13:28
  Forget the negative.
• 13:29
  What did you learn that you can apply
• 13:31
  and take with you the rest of your
• 13:32
  life?
• 13:34
  So recognize when your behavior needs to change.
• 13:38
  Number 25, stop allowing outside pressures to decide
• 13:43
  who you become.
• 13:45
  Peer pressure, bandwagon technique, listen thoughtfully to others.
• 13:50
  But don't you dare surrender your standards simply
• 13:53
  to gain acceptance.
• 13:55
  That's the game that happens in grammar school
• 13:58
  and high school, right?
• 14:00
  You sell yourself out because, well, if I
• 14:03
  don't do this, then I'm not going to
• 14:04
  be that person's friend.
• 14:05
  Why do you even want to be that
• 14:06
  person's friend in the first place if that's
• 14:08
  how they're going to treat you and that's
• 14:09
  how they're going to treat other people, right?
• 14:12
  That's an important thing.
• 14:15
  So I think we have to be understanding
• 14:18
  of that.
• 14:21
  We have to understand that.
• 14:23
  Learn to evaluate progress through actions rather than
• 14:26
  the promises.
• 14:28
  A lot of times they're empty promises.
• 14:30
  Number 26, instead of counting everything you intend
• 14:33
  to do, examine what you actually completed.
• 14:36
  Yeah, there's an interesting concept.
• 14:38
  Number 27, review the six lessons that prepared
• 14:42
  you for today's commitment.
• 14:45
  What is that, guys?
• 14:46
  It's compassion.
• 14:48
  It's action.
• 14:50
  It's fairness.
• 14:51
  It's respect, resilience, and leadership.
• 14:55
  Let's go through those again.
• 14:57
  So we've got compassion.
• 14:59
  We've got action.
• 15:01
  Fairness, respect, resilience, and leadership.
• 15:04
  Compassion, action, fairness, respect, resilience, and leadership.
• 15:11
  And as we understand that, they've brought us
• 15:15
  to this final point of lesson.
• 15:18
  Number 28, identify one personal value that deserves
• 15:24
  greater daily attention than you're giving it.
• 15:28
  Perhaps it's honesty.
• 15:29
  It's kindness.
• 15:31
  It could be compassion.
• 15:31
  It could be reliability.
• 15:33
  Or it could be patience.
• 15:35
  Choose something that genuinely matters to you.
• 15:40
  A lot of people do things because they
• 15:42
  want to please others.
• 15:44
  But at the end of the day, you've
• 15:47
  got to please yourself.
• 15:48
  I'm not saying to never please others.
• 15:50
  But if you constantly only have the mindset
• 15:53
  to want to please others, you're never going
• 15:57
  to live life for you.
• 15:59
  You're always going to live for other people.
• 16:00
  And I think that's something that a lot
• 16:02
  of people today don't understand.
• 16:04
  Life is meant to be lived.
• 16:06
  It's not meant for other people to manipulate
• 16:08
  it.
• 16:08
  But yet, that's what happens.
• 16:09
  Well, if you don't do this, then I'm
• 16:12
  not your friend.
• 16:12
  Or if you don't do this, then I
• 16:14
  won't vote for you.
• 16:14
  If you don't do this, then you can't
• 16:19
  swim in my pool.
• 16:20
  If you don't do this, then I'm not
• 16:22
  taking your trash or whatever.
• 16:23
  Some nonsense, right?
• 16:25
  So that's an important piece.
• 16:28
  And a lot of people today are like,
• 16:29
  well, I need somebody to take my garbage
• 16:31
  can.
• 16:32
  So of course, I'm going to do that.
• 16:35
  Number 29, commit.
• 16:38
  Can you do that?
• 16:39
  Can you commit to one measurable action you'll
• 16:43
  repeat beyond today, beyond this week?
• 16:47
  Make it specific to you.
• 16:50
  Make it realistic.
• 16:52
  And of course, meaningful and doable, right?
• 16:57
  We don't want something that you can't do.
• 16:59
  Your commitment should be something you can actually
• 17:03
  demonstrate right now.
• 17:05
  Something you can choose to adapt to your
• 17:08
  life and make it as a new habit.
• 17:10
  I think that's a very important piece that
• 17:13
  we have to understand what that means and
• 17:16
  why a lot of people today don't move
• 17:18
  forward.
• 17:19
  The reason they don't move forward, I'll tell
• 17:20
  you why.
• 17:22
  It's because they're stuck with their ego.
• 17:24
  They feel that if they do something different,
• 17:27
  then life is going to change for them.
• 17:30
  It is.
• 17:32
  And it might not change for the positive.
• 17:35
  If you're always trying to please someone else,
• 17:38
  but you're the last one to get pleased,
• 17:42
  you're not going to be a success.
• 17:47
  Successful people do a lot for others.
• 17:49
  Yes.
• 17:50
  But they don't forget where their bread is
• 17:53
  buttered.
• 17:54
  And that's themselves first.
• 17:57
  Number 30, guys.
• 18:00
  Prove who you really are by living your
• 18:04
  core values consistently.
• 18:06
  That's a hard one.
• 18:13
  Don't rely on your core values.
• 18:13
  Rely, guys, on labels or promises to define
• 18:17
  your character.
• 18:20
  Let's go talk more about character.
• 18:21
  I know we talked about that last week,
• 18:22
  but character is important.
• 18:24
  So character gets built in your private life.
• 18:30
  The things you say to yourself, the things
• 18:31
  you do, the commitments you make to yourself.
• 18:35
  But this is all private life.
• 18:37
  And then how you treat that filters into
• 18:40
  your public life.
• 18:42
  And we don't call that character in public
• 18:44
  life.
• 18:45
  We call that reputation.
• 18:48
  So you can't be one way in private
• 18:50
  and then have a different life in public.
• 18:53
  You can try, but you will definitely not
• 18:59
  last.
• 19:00
  You're going to make mistakes.
• 19:02
  And that two-facedness is going to be
• 19:04
  like so confusing for people.
• 19:06
  People are never going to know whether you're
• 19:08
  talking about the truth or whether you're basically
• 19:11
  just lying.
• 19:13
  And you won't even know yourself whether you're
• 19:16
  believing what you're doing.
• 19:18
  It'll be very confusing for you.
• 19:21
  So your commitment should be something you can
• 19:24
  actually demonstrate.
• 19:26
  Not because you have to, but because you
• 19:30
  should want to.
• 19:33
  Again, you're not doing this for an applause,
• 19:35
  right?
• 19:35
  You're not doing it for an applause.
• 19:36
  You're not doing this for limelight.
• 19:39
  You're not doing this for the media.
• 19:41
  You're not doing this for a pat on
• 19:44
  the back.
• 19:45
  No, you're not doing it for that.
• 19:47
  You're doing it for you.
• 19:49
  And you see, when you have a mission
• 19:52
  to improve the quality of your life with
• 19:55
  no other aspirations to just help yourself, you
• 19:59
  do help others.
• 20:00
  And it comes off in a manner that
• 20:05
  is non-egotistical.
• 20:07
  Something a lot of people say they want
• 20:09
  to do, but then they realize they're losing
• 20:11
  control.
• 20:12
  But I said this to you guys before,
• 20:13
  if you lose control or you give up
• 20:15
  control, you actually get more control.
• 20:18
  I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but
• 20:19
  it's true.
• 20:20
  The more you relinquish control, the more control
• 20:23
  you actually get.
• 20:26
  Number 30, prove who you really are by
• 20:29
  living your core values consistently.
• 20:34
  Whoa, that's hard.
• 20:36
  So don't rely on the labels or the
• 20:37
  promises to define your character.
• 20:39
  Let your repeated choices tell the story.
• 20:44
  Let your repeated choices tell the story.
• 20:50
  People that talk and say they're going to
• 20:53
  do X, Y, and Z, and they don't
• 20:55
  do anything, they quickly become labeled as a
• 20:59
  phony because they're just doing things to catch
• 21:06
  people's attention.
• 21:07
  And if they catch people's attention, they feel
• 21:11
  that they've won.
• 21:15
  Maybe they're trying to get a sale.
• 21:17
  Maybe they're trying to build a relationship, but
• 21:19
  they're not being genuine.
• 21:22
  And it's going to backfire in their face
• 21:25
  sooner or later.
• 21:26
  I mean, that's the truth.
• 21:27
  Now, let's bring our entire week together, shall
• 21:31
  we?
• 21:31
  So Sunday, we're going to learn to show
• 21:35
  compassion by noticing people who may need support.
• 21:39
  Monday, we're going to learn to take action
• 21:41
  because kindness becomes meaningful when we follow through.
• 21:47
  Tuesday, we're going to learn to practice fairness
• 21:50
  and avoid taking advantage of others.
• 21:55
  Wednesday, we're going to learn to build respect
• 21:58
  through healthy relationships and genuine understanding.
• 22:05
  Thursday, we're going to learn to stay resilient
• 22:09
  without abandoning our values during difficult times.
• 22:12
  What does resilient mean?
• 22:14
  Great question.
• 22:16
  So let's say you're down or maybe you
• 22:21
  failed.
• 22:22
  Resilience is how well and quickly you can
• 22:27
  get back up and recover.
• 22:30
  Maybe you had a challenge in your business.
• 22:32
  Resilience is the fact that you can bounce
• 22:34
  back.
• 22:35
  Maybe you had a challenge in your relationship.
• 22:37
  Resilience is the fact that you can bounce
• 22:39
  back as a person, right?
• 22:43
  So don't abandon your values during difficult times.
• 22:46
  And we're going to talk about that on
• 22:46
  Thursday.
• 22:47
  Friday, we wrap up the week.
• 22:49
  We're going to learn to lead by example
• 22:53
  because our behavior always influences the people around
• 22:57
  us, whether we believe it or not.
• 22:59
  And that can predicate whether these people want
• 23:01
  to still be around us or whether they
• 23:03
  want to say sayonara, right?
• 23:05
  I mean, that's an important thing.
• 23:06
  You know, today, Saturday, it's important to understand
• 23:11
  how this works.
• 23:12
  We live our values.
• 23:13
  Because, you see, compassion without action remains an
• 23:18
  intention.
• 23:20
  Fairness without honesty loses its meaning.
• 23:27
  Respect without consideration just becomes an empty word,
• 23:35
  something so hollow.
• 23:39
  Resilience without true reflection to our core values
• 23:45
  can become bitter stubbornness.
• 23:51
  Nobody likes that.
• 23:52
  And leadership, ladies and gentlemen, without accountability and
• 23:57
  ownership loses credibility.
• 24:00
  Once somebody says to you they're going to
• 24:02
  do something, right, and they don't do it,
• 24:05
  what do you do?
• 24:06
  Maybe you call and say, hey, what happened?
• 24:08
  You're going to, oh, sorry.
• 24:10
  And then maybe you give them another chance.
• 24:12
  But how many chances do you give somebody
• 24:14
  before you write them off?
• 24:15
  You're like, I don't want to deal with
• 24:16
  that person anymore.
• 24:18
  I don't deal with them.
• 24:19
  If they can't keep a commitment to me,
• 24:25
  that's not good.
• 24:27
  But then if you watch them and they
• 24:28
  say they're going to do something and they
• 24:29
  never do it, that's also somebody you want
• 24:31
  to stay away from.
• 24:33
  That's a red flag.
• 24:33
  But when you choose to combine these qualities
• 24:38
  and practice them consistently, you begin building something
• 24:42
  powerful.
• 24:43
  We call it character in private life.
• 24:47
  When it reaches the public world that everyone
• 24:51
  else sees, we call it your reputation.
• 24:56
  So how you treat yourself and what you
• 24:58
  do in your private space flows through to
• 25:04
  your public side.
• 25:06
  And that defines your reputation, good or bad,
• 25:11
  right?
• 25:12
  That's important.
• 25:13
  Now, here is your final challenge for today,
• 25:17
  our Saturday challenge.
• 25:19
  Choose one, just one, personal value that matters
• 25:22
  deeply to you.
• 25:23
  Maybe it's honesty.
• 25:24
  Maybe it's kindness.
• 25:25
  Maybe it's reliability.
• 25:26
  Maybe it's respect.
• 25:27
  Now, identify one specific action that demonstrates that
• 25:30
  value.
• 25:31
  Commit to repeating that action for the next
• 25:34
  seven days.
• 25:35
  You can do it.
• 25:36
  It's not hard.
• 25:38
  Don't do it for attention.
• 25:43
  You might be tempted to, don't.
• 25:48
  Don't do it because someone is watching you.
• 25:53
  Don't do it for that reason either.
• 25:55
  Do it because that value matters to you.
• 26:00
  Do it because the value matters to you.
• 26:03
  That's pretty powerful, guys.
• 26:05
  At the end of those seven days, ask
• 26:08
  yourself just one question.
• 26:11
  Did my actions prove what I believe in?
• 26:16
  Yes or no.
• 26:19
  And don't stop there.
• 26:23
  Continue to carry that commitment into the weeks
• 26:26
  ahead.
• 26:29
  Not because you have to, but because you
• 26:31
  want to become better.
• 26:33
  I know you do.
• 26:34
  So ladies and gentlemen, before we close out
• 26:37
  today, I want you to share with me,
• 26:41
  whether you're watching live or whether you're watching
• 26:43
  a replay, let me know in the comments
• 26:46
  or on our website, what's one value that
• 26:51
  you're going to demonstrate through action?
• 26:54
  So one that I like to demonstrate, I
• 26:57
  don't brag about it, but there's one that
• 26:59
  I like to demonstrate.
• 27:00
  It's integrity.
• 27:03
  Sometimes it might be easy to just skip
• 27:05
  past or do the wrong thing.
• 27:09
  But I like to do the right thing
• 27:11
  even when no one else is watching.
• 27:14

  Remember, you don't have to be perfect to
• 27:57
  live with integrity.
• 27:58
  You do have to be willing to reflect,
• 28:00
  take responsibility, and keep improving.
• 28:03
  Stop saying you care.
• 28:04
  Start proving it.
• 28:05
  Start now.
• 28:07
  Stay driven.
• 28:08
  Keep growing.
• 28:08
  And guess what, ladies and gentlemen?
• 28:09
  I'm going to see another show real soon.
• 28:11
  Be well, everyone.
