And if you can't be happy, then what else is there? Life is short and unpredictable. Eat the dessert first.

Well, life is hard. But if you do what is easy, you know, I believe that when we look at ourselves, that if you do what is easy, your life will be hard. And that is staying on the path that you know that's not you. that you procrastinate, that you allow yourself to be paralyzed by fear, that you are a prisoner of a negative assumption about what the possibilities are for you.

If you do what is easy, your life will be hard. But if you do what is hard, always looking for a way to break out, always looking for a way that you can, with the quality of your life, provide some service that has value for people, the greatest among you will be your servant your life will be easy. And so this thing called life is hard, but here's what we know. We can do hard. We can do hard.

Yes. And that's exciting to me as you look at it, that life is a fight for territory. And once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don't want will automatically take over. You have to fight for peace of mind. You have to fight for your marriage. You have to fight to help. Guide your children in a way in which they can be a liability, rather an asset to society rather than a liability.

And once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don't want will automatically take over. As I talk to you right now, I'm just amazed with the response of people.

Dr. Taha, the oncologist at Cancer Centers of America, he said, Mr. Brown, we told you that you've been dealing with fourth stage cancer for 29 years. He said, how can you be so positive?

And my goal is to live, love, and make an impact with my life until I leave here. I don't focus on checking out. We're all going to check out. We all have an expiration date.
