When I came back the last time, about three months ago, I saw it with a different set of eyes. And I believe that When I look at my life now at 75, there are things that happen to you and there are things that happen for you.

And many times when they happen, we're not sure which one is which. But now I see the path that I have traveled. I just said to myself that gave me a sense of urgency after a conversation with a friend that the journey that has brought me this far is longer than the journey that I have left.

and that I must live with a sense of urgency, and that all of us have greatness in us, and we should do as Dr. Miles Monroe said, rob the cemetery of our greatness, that we want to use all our talents and abilities and skills while we're here, and not shortchange life, and begin to realize that we were born and chosen to do a greater work than many people realize before they leave here.

It really is not impossible to see it. See, the imagination is the only dimension of us that cannot be restricted. We can have a vision of ourselves living a different kind of life. Einstein said the imagination is a preview of what's to come and what people must do, regardless of their situation, born in poverty, such as mine, being labeled educable, mentally retarded,

people who are dealing and struggling with how to advance their career or living a different kind of life or an expanded life, that what's very important is that they live out of their imagination and not their history and their present situation. and to hold that vision because our thoughts have magnetic power.

But most people don't discipline themselves to hold the vision of a greater life and living from their greatness because of what I call weapons of mass distractions. And we are distracted. We are now living in what is called the attention economy.
