Unfortunately, one of the most common reasons why
0:05
some people will never find the courage
0:08
to pursue their dreams
0:09
is because they succeed in convincing themselves
0:12
that they have too much to lose in trying.
0:15
And that could be a job, or it might be a car or a house
0:18
or a lifestyle
0:18
It could be a relationship, or it might just be comfort insecurity in general.
0:24
You know,we will have such a limited final amount of time on earth
0:28
Life is so incredibly short and with every passing day
0:31
yours get shorter.
0:33
So this idea of feeling like you have something to lose
0:36
is really just a self-imprisoning delusion
0:40
that will prevent you from ever doing anything extraordinary
0:43
that involves risks at all.
0:45
An idea that might just condemn you to a life of mediocrity
0:49
and an idea that will send you to a grave of all of your good ideas
0:53
and all of your potential unfulfilled.
0:59
Remembering that I’m gonna die someday is the best way to avoid the trap
1:03
of thinking that I have something to lose.
1:05
None of this stuff is coming with you
1:07
you are already naked.
1:09
There is nothing to lose in following your heart.
1:13
Only to gain.
1:14
Now the only thing you do have to lose is time spent
1:18
living a life that isn’t true to you.
1:22
And there are two primary choices we all make in life
1:27
It is to accept conditions as they are ,
1:30
or to accept the responsibility for changing them.
1:34
If you don’t take responsibility than you’re choosing
1:37
to be a victim of circumstance.
1:39
And this victim mindset dilutes human potential,
1:43
it kills action, and by not accepting personal responsibility
1:47
for your own circumstances, your great live juicing
1:52
the power you have to change it.
1:57
Einstein said as all know the definition of insanity is
2:01
doing the same thing and expecting different results.
2:04
And for every action we have a reaction.
2:07
If you want a new reaction,you must perform a new action.
2:20
but I think we live in a little bit of a society where we think fast, succes is fast
2:24
right?
2:31
And when people realize than,you know, success doesn’t happen overnight
2:34
a lot of people quit.
2:36
But you’re dreams aren’t finished when things start to suck.
2:40
Your dreams are finished when you lose your patience and you quit.
2:50
For me,the way to take control is to have a very clear vision of who you want to be
2:54
one year from now, two years from now,
2:57
and ask yourself , in the moment, ‘Is this decision:
3:00
browsing Instragram for hours, eating McDonalds, partying,
3:03
going to move me closer to that person or further away?’
3:08
And you have to have faith that is something always working in the background
3:13
for all of us, righ now , that we can not see.
