you know, that lose a job and then get another, but won't take it because it's less salary than maybe the one they had before.
And all of a sudden find themselves three, four, five, six, seven, eight years, a decade later going, they're still stuck.
They didn't do anything.
They're still saying like, no, I'm going to find that thing.
And I'm going, you missed a decade, man.
Just go do that one that you love to do that maybe was going to pay you less because you'd at least been building something through the day.
And who knows what that would have led to.
Maybe that would have led to something where you're getting paid five times more than you were doing something else you love even more.
So sometimes it's not even about what choice we make.
Just make a choice and commit to it and go and dive in.
So while we're here and they're going to run across the Jumbotron, let's make it a place where we break a sweat.
where we believe, where we enjoy the process of succeeding, in the places and ways that we are fashioned to, where we don't have to look over our shoulder because we're too busy doing what we're good at, voluntarily keeping our own counsel because we want to, traveling towards immortal finish lines.
We write our own book, overcoming our fears.
We make friends with ourselves.
And that is the place that I'm talking about.
from the soles of your feet, with every ounce of blood you've got in your body, lay it on the line until the final whistle blows.
And if you do that, if you do that, we cannot lose.
So turn the page, get off the ride.
You are the author of the book of your life.
Knowing who we are is hard.
