  Hey everyone, welcome back to Eye Opener Society.
• 0:05
  Welcome back to my shorter attention span podcast.
• 0:11
  This has been a lot of fun for me doing these here smaller podcasts for everybody,
• 0:15
  getting some thoughts into my head and then just spitting them out there in a shorter format.
• 0:22
  I want to talk a little bit about dedication and I don't care what that dedication is.
• 0:27
  We're all dedicated to something Whatever that may be I know a friend who Is
• 0:34
  a runner, like a real marathon Runner, runs all these marathons And all, and I had The, you know.
• 0:42
  The privilege of watching her. She sent me a link, this tracker link basically.
• 0:47
  Now it wasn't a big marathon. It was a, I believe a 26 mile run.
• 0:52
  And, but I was amazed at just watching, you know, the little figure on the course
• 0:58
  and being able to follow her and just say, wow, what is it about running that's so important to you?
• 1:05
  And it's just a dedication to her.
• 1:09
  So there's many things that we can be dedicated to That we just do every day
• 1:16
  And I don't think it gets appreciated enough,
• 1:19
  I think Because some of us do amazing stuff Like the running or whatever it may be that you're into,
• 1:27
  But you focus all of your energy in it And you give it your best You give it
• 1:32
  all of your cosmic energy And it flows into that,
• 1:38
  Thing that you do The one thing that makes you happy And You're doing it for
• 1:44
  yourself And that is what makes me smile Because like I said we don't need to,
• 1:50
  Worry about what other people Think about what we do How we do it and all that
• 1:55
  If somebody supports it and is appreciative To it hey that's great I can get
• 2:01
  behind that But when it's something you do Solely because you do it And for
• 2:07
  no other reason than that.
• 2:09
  That, my friends, is amazing. And that is what makes you special.
• 2:15
  And that is what makes whatever it is you do so important to you. So keep doing it.
• 2:21
  Keep being that person. Keep being the one who admires your own work. Get out there. Run.
• 2:28
  Do sports. Do whatever it is that you are dedicating your life to.
• 2:33
  And you are going to go places.
