- 5:25SPEAKER_00: We are capable as a species of so much more.
- 5:31As the great Willy Wonka put it,

- 5:42co-creative joy and
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: wonder together.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: And all of life could be that.
- 5:47All of the world could become a glorious,

- 6:22SPEAKER_00: We can move beyond that.
- 6:23We must set our sights upon the highest because you become what
- 6:27you focus on.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: You become what you focus on, brother.
