He said, I listened to those who believed in me and I listened to those who told me that I could. When he was a governor, he told some friends, I want to become the president of the United States of America. They're like, Ron, you're a governor. Like, what do you know about becoming the president, right? Running the free world, right?
He said, I ultimately became a two-term president of the United States. He said, because I listened to those who believed in me and I listened to those who told me that I could. So here's my concluding point on this. You want to give more weight to the words of those that believe in you and less weight to the words of those that don't.
So when Sarah was in that spot of like, listen, I can't take any negative right now. I just, I can't even process it. I'm like doing all I can do to hang in there. I understand. What I would share with you is this. Imagine if someone had said to her, Sarah, you got what it takes, sister. You're gonna pull this thing off. Like you've just got whatever it is, you got it. You keep going.
That probably would have meant a lot to her. Why? Not because of the words, because of the weight she gave to them. If you've ever done a social media post, And you have 18 comments and 17 say, hey, great post, really inspired me. And one says, that's the stupidest post ever, you're a loser. And you fret and click on and worry about the post and think for a long time, what do I respond?
And would you even dare say that to my face? And here we are wasting all this energy on this one versus thinking about the 17 that we impacted positively. If someone walks up to you that's three years old and says, you're stupid, you're just like, whatever, dude. Where's your mom? If a 33-year-old walks up to you and says, you're stupid, all of a sudden we put a lot of time and energy.
Same words, the words themselves were neutral, but what happened? You gave more weight to the 33-year-old's words than you did the three-year-old's words. You gave them less weight, my friends. give more weight to the words of people that believe in you.
One of the things Heather mentioned this, I just want to, Heather, I'll throw it back to you with this, but you don't have to meet Heather or you don't have to meet me to read a book or to listen to a podcast and know that we believe in you. And I know that sounds so cliche. You're like, dude, he doesn't even know me. Listen, don't you guys think it's interesting?
We live in a world that if I told you, I hate you, it'd be normal. If I came on a podcast and told you, listen, I love you and I respect you. And I respect the hustle and the vision that you have in your heart and the efforts you're putting in. And I have a deep love and admiration for you. That's weird to say I love you. And it's normal to say I hate you.
My friends, be the kind of person that leans into people that says you've got what it takes. You are the one, as I talked about in the book. And if you take your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, last 12 generations, it was 4,094 people. 4,094 people from all over the world came together to create you. You are the one.
You're the one that these folks lived for and bled for and cried for and died for. You are the one. And you are the one that your life matters, that it has value and purpose and meaning. And the book is not called Become the One. You are the one. The book is be. In other words, step into that person today. Be the best version of yourself today.
Step into that greatness that is in your soul today, those visions. You have it, what it takes. Just be that one today. Be the one today. So we believe in you, my friends. It's the craziest thing. I used to listen to these tapes and audios and, you know, go to events and so on. And now it's podcast. And I would listen to it, and I remember thinking –
I guess I'm just going to give some weight to their words. They see something in the world that is possible because it is possible for you to live, design, and create an unforgettable life where future generations look up and say, it was her. You know, it was him. He's the one that changed it for our family forever.
I want to press on that story because I want to share this. I don't want to give you a really sincere compliment, but I want to ask you a question too. I love your point that we should speak into other people. I tell three S's. You see people not as they are, but as they were born to be. So in other words, they're who they really are. They're real potential. Number two is you say it to them.
You speak life into people. And then three is you schedule time with them. So I love that point. What I want to argue is this, though, as powerful as his words were, his words themselves were neutral. You had an identity inside of yourself where when he spoke that you gave positive weight to the words. In other words, you're like, yo, I believe you. You accepted that.
Because you could have also shrunk a little bit and be like, I can't write a book. So my question to you is, where did you gain the identity? Success is an identity process. Where did you have the baseline identity to say, you know what, Ellis? You're right. I can write a book, and I'm going to figure out how. That resourcefulness you tapped into. Where did that come from?
Because that's the true magic of that story for me is I hear it. The magic is the way that you respond to those words, the way that you gave weight and said, you know what? You're right. You're right. You're right. I'm going to listen to what you just said. And instead of being like, I can't, I don't know. Have you ever coached someone that they do that? They're like, but I, what about this?
And what about that? You're like, dude, get resourceful. Like what's up? You know, where did you get that baseline identity to say, you're right. I can do it. And let me go get to work and go make it happen.
So powerful. So we don't see the world as the world is. We see the world as we are. I was listening to an interview the other day. There was two twin brothers. The one is a Fortune 500 company, high level executive. The other one's in prison. The father was in and out of prison and strung out on drugs, abusive relationships, the whole thing.
They go to the son that's in prison and they said, how did you end up here? And he said, isn't it obvious? Look at where I came from. And they went to the one that was a Fortune 500 company executive. They said, how did you end up here? He said, isn't it obvious? He said, look at where I came from.
And I'm sharing this with you because as those words of positive affirmation, positive vision for Heather, hey, Heather, you got what it, go write a book, sister, you got this. You said, Heather, you have this like,
