if you're GNA do it older you do get the more rules are going to try to get you to [Music] follow come on do it we have created a fictitious feeling a roof to our expectations of ourselves life's not easy we're all destined to have to do this that we fear the most anyway the money comes in bre comes down got to keep living man going down a oneway street whichever way I go say what you can do do what you [Music] say I think I'll try it out no think if you're going to try

it out beforehand but when it's time to go dive finish it find out come out to the other side don't leave it and go if I just would uh-uh that keeps me up there we have ass something you just don't know whether you failed or succeed you got what you want or didn't get what you want finding out looking in the mirror and going I didn't have passes I went all the way I found out that's a great what you're about to say and do will outlive you do it well if life was nothing but

green lights and we didn't have yellows and reds things that make us pause hardships crisises times for introspection then what the hell would it all be for we need the yellows and the Reds that's how we evolve that's how hopefully there's some Ascension to our being if anything I would say to my 50-year-old self Go fail more if anything I would say to you go fail more forget them those people on the sideline that are saying the thumbs down or calling you something or being snarky they're on the sidelines for a reason if you're not

getting past this today this week this month this year almost in a decade goes and you're still hung up and you can't get rid of that thing if it's holding you back from going where you want to go maybe you should just deny the thing ever happened Kick It In The Head kick it off the curb I'm done with you I'm sick of you I'm tired of hanging out with you tired and that thing whatever it is hold me back from going where I want to go happiness is an emotional response to an outcome if

I win I will be happy if I don't I won't it's an if then cause and effect with progo standard that we cannot sustain because we immediately raise it every time we attain it see happiness happiness Demands a certain outcome it is result Reliant and I say if happiness is what you're after then you're going to be let down frequently and you're going to be unhappy much of your time Joy though Joy is a different thing it's something else Joy is not a choice it's not a response to some result it's a constant Joy is

the feeling that we have from doing what we are fashioned to do no matter the outcome we like to say no freedom and light is the one that carries it man I don't know that's may be too evolved for us to really grab a hold of rage and anger and revenge are Mighty powerful emotions and this is the beauty of delayed gratification I tee yourself up do yourself a favor make the choices the purchases today that pay you back tomorrow the choices we make compounding assets of our future you need need to hold yourself more

accountable life is not easy it is not don't try to make it that way life's not there it never was it isn't now and it won't ever be do not fall into the Trap the entitlement trap of feeling like you're a victim you are not get over it and get on with [Music] it there's a responsibility to freedom and that there is freedom in responsibility [Music] it is just as important where we are not as it is where we are look the first step that leads to our identity in life is usually not I know

who I am that's not the first step the first step's usually I know who I am not defining ourselves by what we are not is the first step that leads us to really knowing who we are you know that group of friends that you hang out with they gossip too much or kind of shady they really aren't going to be there for you in a PCH how about that bar we keep going to that we always seem to have the worst angle from or that computer screen that keeps giving us an excuse not to get

out of the house and engage with the world and get some real human interaction how about that food that we keep eating that stuff tastes so good going down makes us feel like crap the next week we feel lethargic and keep putting on weight how about that for those people those places those things stop giving them your time and energy when you quit giving them your time you inadvertently find yourself spending more time and in more places that are healthy for you that bring you more joy why because you just eliminated the who's the where

the whats and the WIS that were keeping you from your identity I promise you there too many options will make a tyrant of us all right so get rid of the excess the wasted time decrease your options if you do this you will have accidentally almost innocently put in front of you what is important to you by process of elimination it's so much easier to figure out who you're not and if you start eliminating the who I'm not by sheer mathematics you end up Mr Monroe Wills was 94 years old and he said grandpappa he

said he said can you give me some advice for life Mr grandpap say oh yeah mon best advice I can give you is this I've had many crisises in my life and most of them never happened [Music] you just got to keep living man l i v i [Music] n you're looking at her on it Sky thing good that there is only dark ask any lights when now [Music] [Music]
