the most important thing in the world to
you is you it’s your life it’s your
dreams I want to talk to you today about
living the life you will put on this
earth to live see there’s only one you
in the history of humanity you need to
live a life of happiness and fulfillment
see I believe the greatest definition of
success is happiness it’s happiness it’s
not money money is great but it can’t
buy a happy soul we willingly subject
ourselves to meaningless routines we go
to our meaningless jobs so that we can
earn this meaningless money so that we
can spin it on meaningless things that
will mean even less once we’re gone all
the while the beauty of life is just
passing us by because we’re too busy
riding a school paper or were too busy
flipping burgers at a restaurant where
it’s who busy sending off emails to a
client we’re essentially just too busy
to live
[Music]
I’ve always said people are designed for
success but something called life comes
along and programs and conditions them
for failure you talk to a bunch of
five-year-olds and you say what do you
want to do with your life and they’ve
got big dreams they want to be a pilot
they want to be a doctor they want to be
a sports star they want to be an
astronaut they want to do something
great but then something happens they
grow up and then they go out in the real
world and they get something called a
boss or they get a job and they start
getting grinding down on them the world
starts wearing those dreams down and
they start just existed they give up on
their dreams and they start just
accepting it well that’s not the way
it’s supposed to be not for you not for
your life but you have to show up and
fight like crazy fight like a junkyard
dog for your dreams and for your life
you’ve got a demand success and
happiness for your family life will give
you what you accept you got a take
action now the great John Wooden always
said make today your masterpiece
there’s only one you and you’ve only got
one today you’re spending today I think
in a great location but there is only
one today one now tomorrow it’s gone
okay tomorrow it’s a different day
people spend their whole life planning
on living their dreams we see what
you’ve got to take action
you got to attack the day you got to ask
yourself every day what are the major
tasks that I can do today to have a
better happier less stressful to borrow
and then you got to get serious about
getting it done
most people think happy and serious
don’t go together wrong you got to get
serious about getting happy you got to
develop a happiness that comes from the
heart not from your circumstances you
got to develop a happiness that just
Wells up inside of you every day in your
life you’ve got to weed the negatives
and you’ve got to fertilize the positive
all that positive thinking and how you
think and once you determine your
destiny to me it works you must prepare
your mind to be happy
there have been times in my life when
I’ve been down I’ve been out I’ve been
afraid I’ve looked up at the road ahead
and have been completely unsure and I
can say first hand when you are going
through a situation like this that it
essentially consumes you right it’s all
you see it’s all you think about to the
point where the good stuff the
opportunity around you it becomes
transparent you see right through it
it’s the negative it’s the misfortune
for a period of time that becomes your
narrative becomes the story what if this
is forever what if I’m not as good as I
want to be or as they are what if things
don’t work out never mind the fact that
you’ve been here before and that you’ve
battled back never mind how far you’ve
come
no that takes a backseat to the
discomfort that we feel right now and
that’s the irrationality of the human
mind we forget
we forget we forget that the lows create
the highs the temporary isn’t forever
that you can’t stand with any type of
authority if you’ve never before fallen
accomplishing anything is never just
walking up and reaching a goal it’s
about getting back up over and over
again taking the bad breaks in stride
and seeing the losses for what they are
necessarily what if I told you that the
difficult times weren’t just manageable
they were what you needed those moments
where you felt hopeless where a bridge
to something better
what if I told you that the difficult
times weren’t just manageable they were
what you needed those moments where you
felt hopeless were a bridge to something
better a demonstration of just how
capable you are and how strong you can
be feeling lost feeling defeated
sure is unsettling but it’s also a
reminder that you are exactly exactly
where you need to be in one form or
another your struggle becomes your
answer life
life isn’t always come cease sunny skies
but if you let it it will teach you to
weather any storm to come out on top
never lose sight of the opportunity it’s
there hiding behind the struggle and
worst in the ups and downs and when you
know that you will not let yourself stay
down that you’ll get up struggle becomes
a building block not a weight around the
ankles with each stumble you become
taller with each misstep you step
forward you know life is short
life is short we’re not gonna get a
do-over
you know life goes by so quick we need
to create in this world a community of
positive thinking the world today these
people that are focused on doing
something great more than ever
cuz there’s plenty of people tearing us
down and pulling us apart so hopefully
my life will stand the test of time and
whatever I build whatever I saw how I
treat people particularly those who
don’t look like me or come from where I
come from or think like me or have my
perspective if I can treat them with
honor and dignity and respect if I can
fight for their hopes their dreams and
their aspirations and I can lift
somebody else if I can push one person
into destiny then all the years of my
life will have been worth it and then I
can say with surety my life was a
success the point of life is to
cultivate long-lasting true meaningful
relationships with others if to be of
service to others I’m here to serve you
you should be here to serve me we should
be here to lift each other up because
although yes we acknowledge that we are
in this system what we all have at the
end of the day is each other and the
only thing that will mean any
on our deathbeds is the relationships
that we’ve cultivated the people whose
hearts we touched that’s the only thing
that’s truly going to matter we can
spend all of our time our energy our
resources glorifying ourselves lifting
ourselves up but that’s empty there is
no substance in that all we have at the
end of the day is one another how much
money you have by the time you reach
your deathbed how many things you own by
the time you reach your deathbed they’re
not gonna mean anything they’re gonna
hold no significance the only thing
that’s gonna mean anything at the end of
the day are the people whose hearts you
touched the friendships you cultivated
the love that you gave the last that you
had the cries that you shared with other
people essentially all we got is each
other and that is the only thing that
gives me true fulfillment and peace on
earth
you is you it’s your life it’s your
dreams I want to talk to you today about
living the life you will put on this
