I'm squeezing.

I got money. I'm squeezing that toothpaste. Why? Because I'm trying to get everything out the tube before I go to another one. And with my life, before I get out of here, which is why I could murder myself. that I didn't realize at 12 that I was great. And that's why I say you got to check in 2025, you 2025, right? Because I didn't know I was great.

Because I didn't know I was great.

And once I checked in and realized how great I was, I was like, bro, we're going to keep doing this. And to the day we die. And so I would just say to you, you're watching, you're in this space, you're reading his books, you're going to his conferences because you know it's in you and it's time to stop being lazy. And it's time to activate.

People don't take it serious. This is the time to get control of your mind. And for most of us, our mind is in control of us. So when you talk about meditating, it's like this is a habit of the greats. And one of the habits of those individuals who are not where they want to be is, I'm not trying to be funny, but it's like lazy. To absolutely meditate regularly is a discipline. It is, man.

It's not easy. It's not easy to get control of your... I'm like, where did that thought come from? Right? So guys, let's go back to the 12-year-old that found the birth certificate. Right? We found the birth certificate. We found the birth certificate in the emotional state. We found it in the emotional state. Listen to me. I'm not the first kid who has ever gone through this experience.

And you know what? I had to ask myself in that mirror at 16, 17, 18. I had to keep asking myself, when you saw it, why did you see it that way? Why did you not call your mom and say, mom, you wouldn't talk about this? Why didn't you go, hey mom, the counselor, can we go sit down and talk to the counselor? Hey mom, call dad, can we just sit down?

And listen to me, I went from, I can't believe that you would do me like this. I went from a ball of emotions to living in abandoned buildings. It was the most, it was the stupidest decision I had probably ever made. I put myself in so much danger as a 12 year old, 13 years old, homeless. Based on emotions. On emotions. So the same document, nothing changed about it.

But if I could go back as this adult and look at that, I would look at his facts and go, wow, your mother protected you. Wow, your mom loved you so much that she didn't want you with your biological father because she thought he could be a threat. Right, wrong, or indifferent. Your mom didn't do this because she was trying to hurt you. Your mom did this because she was trying to protect you.

Your mother cares for you. Your mother's trying to put you in a healthy environment. Your mother has a job. Your mother married somebody who was a foreman at GM. He has a job. He has a college degree. He played basketball. He's a responsible man. He protects us from taking emotion. Wouldn't let me be rational. Emotional wouldn't let me think rationally. It had me irrational.
