Matthew McConaughey’s Life Advice Will Change Your Future (MUST WATCH) Motivational Speech 2018
I want to skip the flattery and the
attaboys because I do know this the
sooner that we become less impressed
with our lives with our accomplishments
with our career with whatever that
prospect is in front of the sooner we
become less impressed and more involved
with that and these things the sooner we
get a whole lot better at doing it so
I’m going to talk to you about some
things I’ve learned in my journey most
from experience some of them I heard and
passing many of them I’m still
practicing but all of them I do believe
are truth now they may be truth to me
but don’t think that that makes them
mine
because you cannot own the truth so
please think of these as signposts
approaches paradigms that give some
science to satisfaction the years to
steal yours to share like into your own
lives to personally apply in your own
lives in your own way should you choose
to so here we go number one life’s not
easy life is not easy it is not don’t
try to make it that way
life’s not fair it never was it is it
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 it and yes
most things are more rewarding when you
break a sweat to get them number two
unbelievable is the stupidest word the
dictionary should never come out of our
mouth think about it
to say oh wow what an unbelievable play
it was an unbelievable book an
unbelievable film an unbelievable act of
courage
really it may be spectacular it may be
phenomenal most excellent or outstanding
but unbelievable give others and
yourself more credit it just happened
you witnessed it you just did it believe
it
what about the other side of
unbelievable you know that that side
when we humans underperform or act out
of our best character for instance man
flies a suicide jet into the World Trade
Center millions die from diseases every
day that we have cures for Bob the
Builder swears that he’s going to have
your house built by Thanksgiving and you
can’t move in until Christmas the next
year our best friends lied to us and we
lie to ourselves all the time
unbelievable I don’t think so
again it just happens and it happens
every day
nothing that we Homo Sapien earthlings
do is unbelievable and if there’s one
thing you can depend on people being
it’s people so we shouldn’t be surprised
we US are the trickiest mammals walking
the planet I’m not worried about the
monkeys I’m worried about you and me
yeah so acknowledge the acts of
greatness as real and do not be naive
about mankind’s capacity for evil nor be
in denial of our own shortcomings
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 quid
pro quo
standard that we cannot sustain because
we immediately raise it every time we
attain it you see happiness happiness
demands a certain outcome
it is result reliant and I say if
happiness is what you’re after then
you’re gonna be let down frequently and
you’re gonna be unhappy much of your
time joy though Joy’s 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 now personally
as an actor I started enjoying my work
and literally being more happy when I
stopped trying to make the daily labor a
means to a certain in for example I need
this film to be a box-office success and
I need my performance to be acknowledged
I need the respect of my peers are all
those are reasonable aspirations but the
truth is as soon as the work the daily
making of the movie the doing of the
deed became the reward in itself for me
I got more box-office more accolades and
respect than I ever had before see joy
is always in process it’s under
construction it is in constant approach
alive and well in the doing of what
we’re faster to do and enjoying it
number four define success for yourself
define success for yourself but check
this out I’m in South of New Orleans a
few years ago when I went to a voodoo
shop and they had this this wooden
partition against the wall of these
columns and in these columns or all
these vials of
magic potions right and the headings
above each potion defining what they
would give you were things like
fertility health family legal health
energy forgiveness money hmm guess which
column was empty Monday
just admit it money’s king today is what
make the work makes the world go round
it is success the more we have the more
successful we are right now I would
argue that our cultural values have even
been financialized humility is not in
vogue anymore it’s too passive
it’s a get-rich-quick on the Internet
Rich’s 15 minutes of fame world that we
live in and we see it every day but we
all want to succeed right so the
question that we’ve got to ask ourselves
is what success is to us what success is
to you is it more money that’s fine I
got nothing against money I don’t maybe
it’s a healthy family maybe it’s a happy
marriage maybe it’s to help others to be
famous to be spiritually sound to leave
the world a little bit better place than
you found it
continue to ask yourself that question
now your answer may change over time and
that’s fine
but do yourself this favor whatever your
answer is don’t choose anything that
will jeopardize your soul prioritize who
you are who you want to be and don’t
spend time with anything that
antagonizes your character don’t drink
the kool-aid and it tastes sweet but you
will get cavities tomorrow
all right life is not a popularity
contest be brave take the hill but first
answer that question what’s my hill so
me how do i how do i define success for
me myself well for me it’s a measurement
of five things we got fatherhood we got
being a good husband we’ve got my health
mind body and spirit we’ve got career
and we got friendships these are what’s
important to me in my life right now so
I try to measure these five things each
day
I check in with them I like to see
whether or not I’m in the the debit
section or the credit section with each
one a man in the red or I’m in the black
you follow for instance sometimes say my
career’s rolling all right it’s way up
here in the black but I see how my
relationship with my wife maybe it could
use a little bit more of my attention I
got to pick up the slack on being a
better husband get that one out of the
red or say my spiritual health could use
some maintenance it’s down here but hey
man my friendships in my social life
they’re in high gear right I got to
recalibrate checks and balances I got to
go to church remember to say thank you
more often something but I got to take
the tally because I want to keep all
five in healthy shape and I know that if
I don’t take care of them if I don’t
keep up maintenance on them one of them
is going to get weak man
it’s gonna dip too deep into the debit
section it’s gonna go bankrupt it’s
gonna get sick die even so first we have
to define success for ourselves and then
we have to put in the work to maintain
it take that daily tally tend our garden
keep the things that are important to us
in good shape I mean let’s admit it
we’ve all got two wolves in a suit a
good one and a bad and they both want to
eat the best I can tell we just got to
feed that good one a little more than
the other one here we go number five
process of elimination is the first step
to our identity
aka where you are not is as important as
where you are all right 1992 I got my
first job as an actor three lines three
days work in a film called Dazed and
Confused all right
all right all right all right there we
go so this director of that film Richard
Linklater he kept inviting me back to
set each night putting me in more scenes
which led to more lines all of which I
happily said yes to I mean I’m having a
blast people were telling me I’m good at
what I’m doing and they’re writing me a
check for $325 a day I mean hell yeah
give me more scenes I love what I’m into
it well by the end of the shoot I’ve
been to the film those three lines had
turned into over three weeks work and it
was mine it was wooderson’s 1970
Chevelle that we went to go get
Aerosmith Tickets it man yeah it was
badass well a few years ago I’m watching
this film again and I noticed two scenes
that I really shouldn’t have been in and
one of these scenes my character would
Orson III exit screen left to head
somewhere and then I reinter the screen
and to double check if any of the other
characters wanted to go with me now and
re watching the film and you’ll agree if
you know Wooderson wooderson’s not a guy
who would ever say later and then come
back to see if you were sure you didn’t
want to go now when Wooderson leaves
Watterson is gone he does not stutter
step flinch rewind ask twice or solicit
you know what I’m talking about
Watterson has better things to do like
like in those high school girls man cuz
I get older and they stay the same age
the point is I should not have been in
that scene shouldn’t come back should
have exited screen left and never come
back
but back then making my first film
getting invited back to the set cashing
that check and having a ball I wanted
more screen time I wanted to be in the
scene longer and more and come back into
the scene right but I should have been
there would Orson shouldn’t have been
there 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 I Know Who I am that’s not the
first step the first steps usually I
Know Who I am not process of elimination
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 that
really might not bring out the best in
you
you know they gossip too much or they
kind of shady they really aren’t gonna
be there for you in a pinch or how about
that bar that we keep going to that we
always seem to have the worst hangover
from or that computer screen right at
the 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 this stuff that
tastes so good going down it makes us
feel like crap the next week we feel
lethargic and we keep putting on weight
well those people those places those
things stop giving them your time and
energy just don’t go there I mean to put
them down and when you do this when you
do put them down when you quit going
there and 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 is the what’s in the
winds that were keeping you from your
identity look trust me too many options
I promise you that too many options will
make a tyrant of us all alright 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 my process of elimination
no one who we are is hard it’s hard to
give yourself a break eliminate who you
are not first and you’re gonna find
yourself where you need to be
I’m a six don’t leave crumbs and the
beauty of delayed gratification so what
a crumbs or the crumbs I’m talking about
are the choices that we make that make
us have to look over our shoulder in the
future you didn’t pay that guy back the
money that you owed him and tonight you
just saw him three rows behind you
[Music]
you slept around on your spouse and you
just found out that tomorrow she and the
lady you’re having an affair with are
gonna be at the same PTA meeting
again you drank too much last night
you’re too hungover to drive your son
does 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning baseball
practice
these are the crumbs they come in the
form of regret guilt and remorse you
leave trumps today they will cause you
more stress tomorrow and they disallow
you from creating a customized future in
which you do not have to look over your
shoulder so let’s flip the script
instead of creating outcomes that take
from us let’s create more outcomes that
pay us back fill us up keep your fire
lit turn you on for the most amount of
time in your future these are the
choices I’m talking about and this is
the beauty of delayed gratification arty
yourself up
do yourself a favor make the choices the
purchase is today that pay you back
tomorrow residuals in my business we
call it mailbox money if I do my job
well today and that movie keeps
rerunning on TV five years from now I’m
getting checks in the mailbox
it’s a heck of a deal so whether it’s
prepping the coffeemaker the night
before so all you got to do is press the
button in the morning or getting ready
for the job interview early so you don’t
have to cram the night before or choose
not to hook up with that married woman
because you know you’re gonna feel
horrible about it tomorrow and your
husband carries a gun or paying your
debts on time so that when you do see
that guy three rows back tonight you
don’t
to hunker down your seed hoping that he
don’t see you get some ROI you know what
that is
return on investment your investment you
customize your future
don’t leave crumbs number seven dissect
your successes and the rest of prosity
of gratitude we still often focus on
failure don’t we we studied failure
obsessed with failure we dissect failure
and our failures dissect them so much we
end up intoxicated with them to the
point of disillusion and when did we
write in our diary usually when we’re
depressed
what are we gossip about other people’s
flaws and limitations and we can dissect
ourselves into self-loathing if we’re
not careful I find that most of the
times our obsession with what is wrong
just ends up breeding more wrong more
failure now the easiest way to dissect
success is through gratitude giving
thanks for that which we do have for
what is working appreciating the simple
things we sometimes take for granted we
give thanks for these things and that
gratitude reciprocate creating more to
be thankful for it’s really simple and
it works
and I’m not saying being denial of your
failures no we can learn from them too
but only if we look at them
constructively as a means to reveal what
we are good at what we can get better at
what we do succeed at now personally
I’ve read a whole lot of my bad reviews
all right I’ve had quite a few written
by the more talented critics they are
the ones who give constructive bad
reviews they reveal to me what did
translate in my work what came across
what was seen or what was it now I don’t
obsess on the unfavorable aspect of
their
revue but I do see what I can learn from
it because their displeasure actually
uncovers and makes more apparent what I
do do well what I am successful at and
then I detect fact my life’s a verb we
try our best we don’t always do our best
so architecture is a verb as well yes it
is and since we are the architects of
our own lives let’s study the habits the
practices the routines that we have that
lead to and feed our success our joy our
honest pain our laughter our own tears
let’s dissect that and give thanks for
those things and when we do that guess
what happens we get better at them and
we have more to dissect number eight
make voluntary obligations my mom and
dad since we were young they teach us
things as children teachers mentors the
government and on laws they all give us
guidelines for which to navigate this
life rules to abide by in the name of
accountability I’m not talking about
those obligations I’m talking about the
ones that we make with ourselves with
our God with our own consciousness I’m
talking about the you versus you
obligations we have to have it now again
these are not societal laws and
expectations that we acknowledge and
endow for anyone other than ourselves
these are faith-based obligations that
we make on our own these are not the
lowered insurance rates for a good
driving record you will not be fine to
put in jail if you do not gratify these
obligations I speak of no one else
covers these but you they are your
secrets with yourself your own private
counsel personal protocols and while
nobody throws you a party when you abide
by them no one’s going to arrest you
when you break them either except
yourself
or some cops who got to disturbing the
peace call at 2:30 in the morning
because you were playing bongos in your
birthday suit yeah that was me an honest
man’s pillow is his peace of mind and
when you lay down on that pillow at
night no matter who’s in your bed we all
sleep alone these are your personal
jiminy crickets and there are not enough
cops in the entire world to police them
it’s on you it’s on you number 9 from
can to want alright check this out in
1995 I got my first big paycheck as an
actor I think was a 150 grand the film
on there’s almost boys on the side and
we were shooting in Tucson Arizona and I
had to sweet a little Adobe guest house
on the edge of the swirlin a tional park
the house came with a made my first made
it was awesome so I got a friend over
one Friday night we’re having a good
time and I’m telling her about how happy
I am with my setup the house the maid
especially the maid I’m telling her look
it’s like she cleans the place up after
I go to work she washes my clothes the
dishes put fresh water by my bed leaves
me cooked meals sometimes she even
presses my jeans and my friends she
smiles at me happy that I’m excited over
this she says well that’s great Matthew
if you like your jeans pressed I kind of
looked up batter my jaw caught hanging
open I stuttered a moment had that dumb
ass look that you get when you just been
told the truth and you didn’t think
about it and I hit me I hate that line
going down in front of my jeans I hate
that line and it was then for the first
time that I noticed it I’d never thought
about not liking that starch line down
the front of my jeans because I’ve never
had a made Dharma jeans before and since
she did now for the first time in my
life I just liked it because I could get
it I never thought about if I really
wanted it
well I didn’t want it there that line
and that night I learned something just
because you can yeah come on it’s not a
good enough reason to do something even
when it means having more be discerning
choose it because you want it do it
because you want to never have my genes
pressed again hate that line number 10 a
roof is a man-made thing this may cut a
little close to the bone
since the geography but I think we all
were there and we will all remember
where we were but in January the 3rd
1993 he was the NFL playoffs and you’re
Houston Oilers for playing the Buffalo
Bills the Oilers were up 28 to 3 at
halftime 35 to 3 early in the third
Frank Reich and the bills come back to
win 41 to 38 and overtime for one of the
greatest comebacks in NFL history they
had the bills won but they didn’t really
beat the others the others lost that
game they beat themselves y’all remember
that turn why why did they beat
themselves for how was it because at
halftime they put a ceiling a roof a
limit on their belief in themselves aka
the prevent defense or maybe they
started thinking about the the next
opponent in the playoffs at halftime I
mean they were up and they came out
plate on their heels lost the mental
edge the entire second half and voila
they lost in a mere two quarters
defensive coordinator Jim Eddie went
from being called the defensive
coordinator of the year and the man
first in line to be a high head coach
next year to a man without a job in the
NFL you ever choked
nobody is ever choked I have huh you
know I’m talking about fumbling at the
goal line second foot in your mouth once
you got to the microphone had a brain
freeze on the exam that you were totally
prepared for forgot the punchline to a
joke in front of 4,000 graduating
students at the University of Houston
commencement or maybe you’ve had that
feeling of oh my god life just cannot
get any better than this moment and ask
yourself do I deserve this now what
happens when we get that feeling tense
up we have this sort of outer body
experience where we are literally seeing
ourself in the third person and we
realize that the moment just got bigger
than us never felt that way I have and
it’s because we have created a
fictitious ceiling a roof to our
expectations of ourselves a limit where
we think it’s all too good to be true
but it’s not and it’s not our right to
say or believe it is we shouldn’t create
these restrictions on ourselves a blue
ribbon a statue a score a great idea the
love of our life our euphoric bliss who
are we to think that we don’t deserve or
haven’t earned these gifts when we get
them it’s not alright but if we stay in
process alright within ourselves in the
joy of the doing we will never choke at
the finish line why because we aren’t
thinking of the finish line cause we’re
not looking at the clock we’re not
watching ourselves on the jumbotron
performing the very act that we’re in
the middle of no we’re in process the
approach is the destination and we’re
never finished bo Jackson what do you do
used to run over the goal line through
the endzone and up the tunnel the
greatest snipers and marksmen in the
world they don’t aim at the target they
aim on the other side of the target
we do our best when our destinations are
beyond the measurement when our reach
continually exceeds our grasp and when
we have a more tool finish lines and
when we do this the race is never over
the journey has no port the adventure
never ends because we are always on the
way so do this do this and let them let
somebody else come up and tap you on the
shoulder and say hey you scored let them
run up and tap you on the show and say
mint you won
let them come tell you you can go home
now
let them say I love you too let them say
thank you take the lid off the man-made
roofs that we put above ourselves and
always play like an underdog here we go
number 11 turn the page
the the late and great University of
Texas football coach Darrell royal know
if y’all remember anyone national
champion in 69 he won a couple of
national championships
hello Darrell whoaaa he was a friend of
mine and a good friend of many people
now a lot of people looked up to this
man
one of the people looked up to him was a
musician named Larry now at this time in
his life Larry was in the prime of his
country music career he had number one
hits and his life was rolling and he had
it picked up a bad habit of uh snorting
the white stuff somewhere along the line
and at one particular party after a a
bathroom break Larry went confidently up
to his mentor Darrell and he started
telling him a story
coach Roy listen as he always had and
when Larry finished his story and was
about to walk away coach royal put a
gentle hand on his shoulder and he very
discreetly said hey Larry you uh got
something on there on your nose there
but Larry immediately hurried to the
bathroom near where he saw some of the
white powder that he hadn’t cleaned
other nose he was a shame he was
embarrassed as much because he felt so
disrespectful to coach royal and as much
because he’d obviously gotten too
comfortable
with the job to even hide it as well as
he should well the next day Larry went
to coach’s house
he rang the doorbell coach answered and
he said coach I need to talk to you they
all said sure come on in Larry confessed
he purged his sins to coach he told him
how embarrassed he was and how he had
lost his way in the midst of all this
fame and fortune and towards the end of
an hour Larry who was in tears he asked
coach he said coach what do you what do
you think I should do my coach being a
man of few words just looked at him and
calmly said Larry I have never had any
trouble turning the page in the book of
my life Larry got sober that day and
he’s been sober for the last 40 years
you ever get in a rut you know I’m
talking about get the funk did stuck on
the merry-go-round of a bad habit I have
but we’re gonna make mistakes you got to
own them then you got to make amends and
then you got to move on guilt and regret
kills many a man before their time so
turn the page get off the ride you are
the author of the book of your life turn
that page number 12
give your obstacles credit you know
those uh no fear t-shirts that were out
I don’t know he used to wear them 10
years ago no fear you may remember those
are just me I saw him everywhere all
right I don’t get them and I never did I
mean well I try to scare myself at least
once a day I mean I get butterflies
every morning before I go to work I was
nervous before I got here to speak
tonight I I think fear is a good thing
now why because it increases our need to
overcome that fear all right say your
obstacle is fear rejection all right you
want to ask her out or you want to
came out but you fear that he or she may
say no all right you you you want to ask
your boss for that promotion but you’re
scared he’s gonna think you’re
overstepping your bounds well instead of
denying those fears declare them save
the fear out loud admit it give them the
credit they deserve don’t get all macho
and act like they’re no big deal and
don’t get paralyzed by denying that they
exist and therefore abandoning your need
to overcome them
I mean I’d even subscribe to the belief
that we’re all destined to have to do
the thing that we fear the most anyway
at some point so give your obstacles
credit and you will one find the courage
to overcome them or you will to see more
clearly that they’re not really worth
prevailing over so be brave have courage
and when you do you get stronger you get
more where you get more respectful of
yourself and that which you fear number
thirteen so how do we know when we cross
the truth thirteen someone’s asking why
did I pick thirteen that’s an unlucky
number well I don’t know when thirteen
got the bad rap and became the mongrel
of numerology it’s never done me wrong
thirteen in fact thirteen has been a
pretty lucky number for me and I want to
tell you how I’ve always taken these
21-day trips by myself to far-off places
where I usually don’t know the language
and nobody knows my name their
adventures won but they’re also a purge
all right there are cleanse for me
they’re like a 21-day fast from
attention from all the things I have and
my well-appointed life they’re a check
out so I can check in with me see how
I’m doing be forced to be my own and my
only company to have a look in my mirror
and we all know what can happen when we
do that sometimes we do not like what we
see well in 1996 right after I got
famous from a film I did call the time
to kill
I I headed out on one of these 21-day
walkabout and this time to the jungles
in the mountains of Peru the sudden fame
that I just gotten was somewhat
unbalancing my face was everywhere
everyone wanted a piece of me people I’d
never met were swearing that they loved
me everywhere I went there I was on my
billboard a magazine cover it was it was
just weird over a hall you know as I was
asked myself what’s the reality in this
and what’s the
did I deserve all this these were all
questions I was asked myself who was I
was another now there’s always an
initiation period with these trip an
amount of time that it takes for the
place to initiate the traveler the time
it takes to disconnect from the world he
just left and become completely present
and the one we are traveling in now for
me that initiation period usually lasts
about 13 days 13 hellish days until I’m
out of my own way well it was the night
of the 12th day in my 21 day trip I’m
settling into camp
I’d already hiked 80 miles to this point
and I had a 3 day trek ahead of me to
Machu Picchu and I was full-on sick of
myself wrestling with the loss of my
anonymity I was guilt ridden for sins of
my past had fluttered carrete I was
lonely disgusted with my company mine
grappling with these demons on this
night I couldn’t sleep
all of these badges and banners and
expectations and anxieties that I was
carrying with me I needed to free myself
from him
so I stripped down to nothing I I took
every moniker that gave me pride and
confidence all the window dressings the
packaging around the product I discarded
them all I got rid of my lucky and
faithful American cap I stripped off all
my talismans from adventures past I even
discarded my late father’s gold ring
with an M on it that he gave to me and
it was a meltdown of he and my mom’s
class rings and gold for my mom’s teeth
even got rid of that I was naked
literally and figuratively and I got
sick
felt clean I felt free and light long a
muddy path on this walk I turned a
corner and there in the middle of the
road was was this Mirage it’s
magnificent pinks and blues and red
colors that I’d ever seen
it was electric glowing and vibrant just
hovering just off the surface of the
jungle floor as if it was plugged into
some neon power plant I stopped I stared
there’s no way around it the jungle
floor in front of me was actually
thousands of butterflies there in my
path they was spectacular so I stayed a
while and somewhere in my captivation I
heard this little voice inside my head
say these words all I want is what I can
see and all I can see is what’s in front
of me now at that moment if I had
stopped anticipating what was around the
corner for the first time I stopped
thinking about what was coming up next
what was up ahead time slowed down I was
no longer in a rush to get anywhere and
my anxieties were greatly eased a few
hours later I returned to camp even the
local Sherpas I was traveling with they
they noticed calling out to me sohe’s
loses mateo so he’s lose which means you
are light in Spanish see I forgave
myself that morning I let go of the
guilt the weight it was on my shoulders
was lifted my penance was paid and I got
back into good graces with my god and I
shook hands with myself my best friend
the one that we’re all stuck with anyway
ourselves and from that morning on the
adventure was awesome I was present I
was out of my own way I was not
anticipating next I was embracing only
what was in front of my eyes and giving
everything to justice that they deserve
you see I crossed the truth that morning
now did I find it I don’t know I think
it found me why because I put myself in
a place to be found
I put myself in a place to receive the
truth so how do we know when we cross
the truth well I think the truth all
around us all the time I mean I think
the answer you know it’s always right
there right there I think it’s all
around us we just don’t always see it
but always grasp it hear it access it
usually because we’re not in the right
place to do so so what do we do first I
believe we’ve got to put ourselves in
the place to receive the truth let’s the
minute we live in an extremely noisy
world with all kinds of frequencies
coming at us we got commitments we got
deadlines fix this do that plans
expectations and they all make it hard
to get clarity and peace of mind so we
have to consciously put ourselves in
places to receive that clarity now that
may be prayer that may be meditation
that may be a walkabout that may be
being in the right company a road trip
whatever it is for you schedule that
time schedule it so if we do that if we
hear it if we put ourself in a place to
hear than we do and it’s become clear a
truth natural and infinite then the
second part comes which is to
personalize it
ask yourself how it worked for you how
it applies to you personally why you
need it in your life specifically and if
you do that then comes the third part
have the patience to internalize it and
get it from our intellectual head
thinking about it and into our bones and
our soul in our instinct now we cannot
rush this part it does take time so if
we get that far we’ve received it we
personalized it and we’ve internalized
it if we make it that gotta have the
courage to act on it to actually take it
into our daily lives and practice it to
make it an active part of who we are and
live it do that
right if we do that then we have what I
believe is heaven right here on earth I
mean that’s the ticket isn’t it think
about it I know that’s where I want to
live while we’re here
and they’re gonna run across the
Jumbotron let’s make it a place where we
break a sweat where we believe where we
enjoy the process of succeeding in the
places in ways that we are fashion to
where we don’t have to look over our
shoulder because we’re too busy doing
what we’re good at
voluntarily keeping our own counsel
because we want to traveling towards
immortal finish lines we write our own
book overcoming our fears we make
friends with ourselves and that is the
place that I’m talking about
