hey guys i want to tell you that this video is sponsored by belair on peacock and the overall message of making the most out of your life and the opportunities that come your way i have studied personal growth for a decade read thousands of books and i'd like to explain my main insight this might sound strange but it is my greatest advice listen close i'll make it concise [Music] the quickest most efficient way to change your life is to change your life rearrange your life architect your existence it is as simple as this think about
a seed if you plant a seed and it doesn't grow no matter how much you try and toil you mustn't blame the seed because the fault lies with the soil i visited a graveyard not too long ago and as i walked around that cemetery i noticed something on every tombstone every single one there's two things a birthday and a death date b to d and then i realized that our lives our very existences are summed up totally encompassed in that line between the b and the d maybe that's why they call it a life line
because our life is that line and if our lives are in between the letter b and the letter d in that joint then that means our life is the c and the sea is choice now look i'm not here to preach about life after death i want to talk about something more important life before death because from cradle to grave your life is the sum total of every choice you have ever made and according to some scientists the average person makes 35 000 choices per day but i don't believe that because if people made that
many conscious choices every day their lives will be different and most people are so asleep with their head down moving so fast that they don't see their choices are being made on their behalf let me explain do you know the number one predictor for how long you're gonna live is it a blood pressure b exercise or c genes it's d none of those new research shows the best predictor for how long you're gonna live is not your genetic code it's your zip code zip code look it up where you live decides how long you live
because your opportunity determines your possibilities your map determines where you get to see life is not like a box of chocolates it's more like a restaurant and your choices are limited to what's on the menu where am i going with this i'm saying if you want to eat the real food of life you must have the courage to order off the menu let me spell it out for you move travel change your environment escape your comfort zone yeah it's hard damn right it's hard sometimes you gotta cut the finger to save the arm sometimes you
gotta cut friends out of your life and it will be sad but you must hang with people with a common future not just a common past and don't worry about your mistakes don't even be concerned because as they say sometimes you win and sometimes you learn this i can't confirm second chances do exist i don't care what you did in those streets the universe allows u-turns but you must make a new choice decide on a new path and when your time comes i pray in the middle of your b d is a squiggle not just
a dash thank you peacock for sponsoring this video i want you guys to check out bel air which tells an important story about the power of second chances do not let the opportunity that comes your way disappear take that chance peace
