I had the opportunity to meet George Lucas last night.

Star Wars was a big influence on me and the hero's journey, and the list is based on the hero, James Joseph Campbell's work, The Hero's Journey.

The thing that lights me up is seeing people overcome limitation, and that's all great stories.

You take any epic story, it's about going from limitation to liberation, and it's freeing, but I feel like it's an inner game.

I feel like entrepreneurs especially embrace it because they're out there creating jobs and creating values and solving people's problems and owning it.

So it's just, yeah, owning is a big deal to me because I feel like it's easy to complain and whatever, but it's not positive.

It's the truth.

We can't be upset by the results we didn't get from the work we didn't do.

Knowledge by itself is not power.

It has at best its potential power.

You even listening to this right now and not doing anything, your life is no better than somebody who didn't listen to this.

You going out and spending a few hours reading a book and not implementing one thing, your life is no different than somebody who's illiterate who couldn't read the book in the first place.

So what I would say is to do the hard thing.

The hard thing in life is...

practicing what you post.

People could talk about it, but it's better well done than well said.

So I would say, don't say it, show it.

Don't post it, prove it.

And the life you live are lessons you teach, and you'll inspire other people to do the same.

Can I challenge everyone to do one thing?
