I still get to live this life.
My mom passed away at the age of 59.
And so I need to remind myself and we all need to remind ourselves that every day is a gift, not an obligation.
So I do love that thinking of the reverse bucket list of what you've already accomplished.
I have to do that often as I wrote in the book on that habit.
I remember my son saying, hey, dad, you know, this guy, Gary Vee, he has six million followers on Instagram.
How many do you have?
And at the time I had like 30 or 40,000.
And I felt like such a failure.
It didn't matter that I had written all these books and helped all these people.
I felt like a failure because I was measuring myself against this guy who was focused on Instagram, social media, and had all these followers.
And I'll never forget that feeling.
And it felt horrible.
i remember reminding myself just run your race just live your life do what you're here to do that's all you can do you can't be anyone else you can only be you and i love what tim tebow said to me one time tim said wanting someone else's life comparing yourself to them means that your life is an accident because you're sitting there going no i was supposed to have their life it'd be like you john saying no i was supposed to be joe rogan i'm supposed to be him
No, you're not supposed to be it.
You're supposed to be you.
Now, can you learn from him?
Can you get even more followers to your podcast?
Of course.
Can I write more books, make a greater impact?
