ones that he gave me, and my son bought a set because I had a set, because it reminds me of him when I travel. It's like greatness, great. So you wouldn't be watching, you wouldn't be locked in, something in your spirit has you tuned into this band, because you know you're great. Now you gotta say to yourself, am I willing to cooperate with the greatness that's in me? And then once you do,

and you start consistently operating in that, you're going to feel good about it. Here's what you have to do. You have to understand. Andre DeShields, I think, said, the top of one mountain is the bottom of the next. Wow. So you get to the top of the mountain, but you understand the GED was just one. The four-year degree was just one. The math was just, after the PhD was the New York Times.

After that, it's the assessments, it's the training, it's the coaching. I'm in masterminds. I get coached, right? And so it's this idea of yesterday's greatness can't be enough because I'm alive today. So if I'm alive today, it must be some more greatness in me. And it's my job, like the toothpaste, It's my job not to just lose.

I don't know about you, but I would just use a little bit of it and get another one. He getting the last drop.

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.

And once I checked in and realized how great I was, I was like, bro, we 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 it.

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, do you want to 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.
