- 2:17Speaker 2: no idea what you're capable of doing. Make up your
- 2:19Speaker 2: mind today.
- 2:20Speaker 9: You're going to figure it out when you grow up.
- 2:22Speaker 10: You tend to get told that the world is the
- 2:25Speaker 10: way it is, and your your life is just to
- 2:28Speaker 10: live your life inside the world. Try not to bash
- 2:31Speaker 10: into the walls too much. Try to have a nice
- 2:34Speaker 10: family life, have fun, save a little money. But life
- 2:38Speaker 10: that's a very limited life. Life can be much broader
- 2:41Speaker 10: once you discover one simple fact, and that is everything
- 2:45Speaker 10: around you that you call life was made up.
- 2:48Speaker 2: By people that were no smarter than you.
- 2:51Speaker 10: Is to shake off this erroneous notion that life is
- 2:58Speaker 10: there and you're just gonna living versus embrace it, change it,
- 3:03Speaker 10: improve it, make your mark upon it.
- 3:05Speaker 11: What do you really really want from your life? If
- 3:08Speaker 11: you had no limitations, if you had all the money
- 3:10Speaker 11: in all the time, and all the talents and all
- 3:12Speaker 11: the abilities, if you could do or be or have anything,
- 3:15Speaker 11: what would you really want in your life?
- 3:17Speaker 2: And yeah, there comes a day, man, everyone's going to
- 3:20Speaker 2: have this day.
- 3:21Speaker 12: There comes a day where being average, being mediocre is
- 3:25Speaker 12: just sickening to you.
- 3:28Speaker 2: It's just sickening. It makes you want to throw up because.
- 3:31Speaker 12: You've seen people with far less health than you as
- 3:34Speaker 12: you're growing up with them.
- 3:35Speaker 2: There are childhood buddes.
- 3:36Speaker 12: Whatever else. They didn't have what you had, yet now
- 3:39Speaker 12: they're fucking to become something that you hadn't.
- 3:42Speaker 2: There comes that day. It's either when you're young, you know,
- 3:45Speaker 2: and it strikes you on the baseball field because you're
- 3:47Speaker 2: sick of stutting.
- 3:48Speaker 12: Out, or it's when you get fired from your fifth job.
- 3:51Speaker 12: You know, when your wife, kids are on your asss
- 3:53Speaker 12: you don't have support anyone.
- 3:54Speaker 2: There comes a fucking day where push comes a shelf.
- 3:58Speaker 2: We're being mediocre, like average, and shit just fucking burns.
- 4:02Speaker 12: It sucks so much you can't deal with it one
- 4:05Speaker 12: more day, and.
- 4:06Speaker 2: You get off your fucking ass and you create something.
- 4:10Speaker 12: It's always been there, it's always been inside of you
- 4:13Speaker 12: trying to come out, but you've never wanted to unwrap
- 4:16Speaker 12: it because there's too much fucking pain and commitment.
- 4:20Speaker 2: You were scared you're gonna fail. You're scared if you started,
- 4:22Speaker 2: you never finish it. You didn't want to tell anyonbody.
- 4:24Speaker 2: You knew it was there, but you never wanted to
- 4:27Speaker 2: embark on it.
- 4:28Speaker 12: Get success, remind you of what you could have been,
- 4:30Speaker 12: and then the fucking spark is born. Get success, remind
- 4:33Speaker 12: you of what you could have been, and then the
- 4:35Speaker 12: fucking spark is born. And no matter what happens, I'm
- 4:39Speaker 12: never gonna be in this boat again. And you get
- 4:42Speaker 12: up and you go, even against knocked down, you just
- 4:44Speaker 12: keep going, keep going.
- 4:44Speaker 2: You're a wild man. And life has never been so sweet.
- 4:48Speaker 12: That could happen at an early age, it could happen
- 4:50Speaker 12: at a later age.
- 4:51Speaker 2: It's gonna happen.
- 4:52Speaker 12: To somebody every you know, no matter what's gonna happen
- 4:54Speaker 12: to you. And when it does happen to you, think
- 4:57Speaker 12: you're lucky. Stars that finally you're alive. Don't give up.
- 5:04Speaker 13: If times are hard, good things or bad things lashed forever.
- 5:11Speaker 13: But most generally we are in control of our own destiny.
- 5:18Speaker 14: It is that you're all in. No matter what you do,
- 5:22Speaker 14: you're all in. This is going to kill you. So
- 5:26Speaker 14: I think you might as well play the most magnificent
- 5:28Speaker 14: game you can while you're waiting, because do you have
- 5:33Speaker 14: anything better to do? Really? Why not pick the best
- 5:37Speaker 14: thing possible that you could do? Why not do that,
- 5:41Speaker 14: maybe you could justify your wretched existence to yourself that way.
- 5:44Speaker 14: I think you could, because you're more powerful than you think,
- 5:48Speaker 14: way more powerful than you think. I mean, God only
- 5:50Speaker 14: knows what you are. In the final analysis. You're blind
- 5:54Speaker 14: to your own weaknesses, but you're also blind to your
- 5:57Speaker 14: own strengths. It's like, how far could you take that?
- 6:00Speaker 14: If you stopped wasting time, and if you stopped lying,
- 6:02Speaker 14: and if you oriented yourself to to the highest possible
- 6:05Speaker 14: good that you could conceive of it, and you committed
- 6:07Speaker 14: to that, how much good could you do?
- 6:10Speaker 6: Well?
- 6:10Speaker 14: I would say, why do you find out.
- 6:13Speaker 12: It's time to unwrapped the potential? You can be superior man.
- 6:18Speaker 12: It's within you. It's within every single one of us.
- 6:22Speaker 12: And the people that have have have risen to that
- 6:25Speaker 12: level were no different than.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Any one of us. It says, they believed it and
- 6:29Speaker 2: they're willing to work.
- 6:30Speaker 12: Their fucking ass off to get it.
- 6:34Speaker 2: It wasn't about the potential, it wasn't about the genetics.
- 6:37Speaker 12: It was about the perseverance, and it was about being
- 6:41Speaker 12: the hardest fucking worker.
- 6:43Speaker 2: In the room. That's what got them there. It didn't
- 6:45Speaker 2: happen overnight. They got knocked down more than the advert
- 6:48Speaker 2: stood up. But they kept going and.
- 6:51Speaker 12: Kept going and kept going and kept going because.
- 6:53Speaker 2: What else is the alternative to the average?
- 6:55Speaker 15: Again, that sucks, man, I had a difficult childhood, But
- 7:01Speaker 15: there's no excuse for people not being able to do
- 7:06Speaker 15: what they want to do.
- 7:07Speaker 13: You can do anything that you want to do.
- 7:11Speaker 11: What do you really really want from your life? If
- 7:13Speaker 11: you had no limitations, if you had all the money
- 7:16Speaker 11: in all the time, and all the talents and all
- 7:18Speaker 11: the abilities, if you could do or be or have anything,
- 7:21Speaker 11: what would you really want in your life.
- 7:24Speaker 16: I'm going to have setbacks, I know. But if I'm
- 7:28Speaker 16: feeling bad, that doesn't mean I'm doing bad. That doesn't
- 7:31Speaker 16: mean I am bad. That doesn't mean that I can't
- 7:33Speaker 16: still take some action, because yeah, nothing changes and nothing changes.

- 8:09Speaker 9: what you always got.
- 8:12Speaker 3: The unfulfilled potential is the story of most people's lives.
