It's something that when your purpose is activated and you are impacting people in any way, shape, or form, there's so many ways to impact people, right? Now, there are byproducts of success. Like, money can be a byproduct of success. You know, when you do something and you create a supply and demand, you get paid for it. But I don't think because you make money that you're successful.
You know what I'm saying? And I don't think You know, there's a lot of things that you could tie to that. Just like, I don't think just because if your life isn't going the way you are, that doesn't mean that you let that make you unhappy. Those are two separate things. It's really the power of separation. So for me, success is a feeling and it's when my purpose is activated.
So I remember I did an interview and they asked, you know, successful, talking about success. And I said, well, I'm not the most successful person in the world. And I was like, well, maybe I am actually because...
i love so many aspects of my life and i'm living in the life that i've always dreamed of you know times 10. i only wanted to have a song on the radio and like a platinum song and bro i've sold 185 million records or something crazy i've like taken care of my mom my dad a lot of people and lived 10 lifetimes already so everything has just been sprinkles on top so to me success
is really activating your purpose. And happiness is something that you can choose instantly. Your happiness is something that you could choose instantly. And it's something that I learned the hard way. Because when I have falling into a dark time. We all go through these ups and downs.
When I've been down bad and the depression comes in, the anxiety comes in, the self-sabotage comes in, and you can hold onto these things and they will stick with you your whole life. You have to decide to let them go. And that's one of the things I talk about in the book. A lot of people may not know how to do that, and there are a lot of ways. But one of the first ways is to choose how you feel.
You're in control of that. And it's easier said than done because when things aren't going your way, you're pissed off at everybody. You're like blaming everything. Well, first of all, you have to quit blaming everything else and realize that you're a magnet. You're magnetizing your whole world to you.
You know, so if that's the case, obviously you switch it to an emotion that resonates with you more of how at least how you desire to feel. Right. And you can choose that. And I'm telling you, your whole experience will change. So happiness is something you can choose immediately.
And separate what you control and what you can't control.
It's just the recognition to me. One of the biggest blessings in your life is growing pains. One of the biggest blessings is going through a time where you are feeling at your lowest or depressed or whatever the feeling is, because that is just confirmation that you're not in alignment and that you're meant for something different or you're meant for something more, something greater.
You know, if you were satisfied with where you're at, then that just is what it is. And, you know, you probably wouldn't even be depressed. But because you are, because you feel a certain way or like you're not all the way there, that is just confirmation that you are truly, truly meant for more or something different.
So to me, I think that when you recognize, okay, once you start recognizing things of that nature, you can say, okay, what's the first step of getting out of this? And so that's part of the book. I say, accepting where you are. That doesn't mean you have to like... You have to like stay there.
That just means accepting the blessings and all the things that come along with where you are to open up space for more. And you're letting go of all the baggage that is holding and weighing you down. I used to be like that. I used to be like, when things don't go my way, I'm terrible. oh, this doesn't happen the way I wanted it to or the way I saw it, my whole mood is shot.
I'm not to say that things don't affect me when they don't go my way, but I have the armor on now. I know how to deal with it. I know how to get over it and get back to it. That's how a lot of my heroes deal with things too. When you think of Denzel Washington, say he has a new movie out, Say the movie does amazing and it's incredible and he wins an Oscar.
Say the movie comes out and it bombs or doesn't do as well. He's not going to give up and quit. It's not going to ruin his life. He's going to move on to the next thing and use that to the power of separation. I mean, you know, that's a real thing.
You reminded me of- I can't speak for Denzel. That's just like an example.
Someone was asking me- It's like a Kobe mindset almost, right?
Go on. I know you got a chance to talk to Kobe before and I've actually got a chance to talk to him as well. And he's incredible and his mindset was something that I admired so much. And I got a chance to talk to him literally a few months before he passed and And he was just telling me about how he meditates and what it does for him, right? And I just resonated with that so much.
It's really cool because we all are reflections of each other, not just me and you or whoever. It's like everyone that's in your vicinity, in your environment is a reflection of you or a part of you, even if you like them or don't like them. You know, and it's something to recognize that we are all interconnected after you go down to the layers of it, right?
You get past the singularity of like career, the, you know, family, house, this and that. We're all, you go really deep inside and we're all very similar. We're all the same. We have the same system of order of operations, you know? And it's really a true testament of we all are, everything physical is made of that same, I don't know what you want to call it, prana or love, energy.
