And then I saw them grow up and do big things, a lot of them. And so many times if the dad or mom did great in a certain position, they would want the child to go there because they had paved the way. But I believe this, that you could be the right person with the right plan but you need the right partners.
You need the right partners who are not just trying to take you how they see life from their vantage point, their point of view, their mindset, but they're willing to listen to your heart and your calling. Because I think the calling calls you. So, I mean, I see you right now. You are like right in the middle of your calling.
Right now, you're just like flying. You're like, zoom, this is me, right?
So I'm glad that you did not become a doctor. I'm glad that you are doing this. You're going to be a writer. You're a speaker. You're a humanitarian. You're a global leader. That's what I see in your future. So I'm glad you're that because we need you to be that.
So I think it's something that happens to all of us and not the same way, but it's something that I've been talking about for 20 years called life interruptions, where an interruption is when you're disturbed, somebody knocks at your door of life. and interrupts you with many things that we would have never ordered from life's menu. It could be asthma.
I've seen people with lupus or Lyme disease or just something bad happens in your childhood. For me, you know, my father went to go get my mother food. And so he was just going through a green light and it was at nighttime in January and bless this guy's heart. He ran a red light, hit my father and my father died.
So the thing that was challenging is my father was the one that had really good energy in the family. My mother was stronger. My mother is Latin. Everything is like the way she does life, not all Latins, because I'm part Latin. But the way she does life, it was more like just strong-willed. So we needed the energy of my father. When that was taken, it was like it was sucked out, okay?
And so that life interruption happened. was something that my siblings did not know what to do with. So most of them just got up and ran. They ran to like friends' homes or ran to a boyfriend because they're much older than me. My brother, he ran to his friends. So a lot of times it was just me and my mother who worked at a donut shop who were in this house together.
And it was really a sad situation. But what I did is I used my imagination again. Remember the power of the imagination? And I began to imagine things. And this is a real story. I told my mother when I was 12. I said, Mom, do not worry. I said, when I am in my mid-20s, this is so strange that I said that, you will never worry about money again. And that's exactly what happened.
I love that. Yeah.
So when you're in a setback, the first thing you have to do is you have to become awake. When you're in a setback, you want to many times pull the blinds, pull the covers over your head and just hope it's just gone. But number one, you have to become awake. Secondly, you have to take inventory.
So you got to think like, you know, now that she left or now that he left or now that they left, what am I going to do? What do I have left here? So you become awake. Secondly, you take inventory. The third thing you need to do is do what they're doing right now. They need to partner with power. Listen to people that have answers.
Listen to people who know what it's like to go through things that are similar to as far as some sort of a setback. So you have to partner with power. Then the next thing you do, number four, is you have to find the right principles. Because I believe it's principles that get you through the problems. It's not hype. It's not just positive energy. It's not just mindset.
but the right principles can get you through any problem, okay? So you become awake, you take inventory, partner with the right people, get the right principles, and then what do you do next? You proceed. You go forward. I am all about going forward. Oprah loves this quote, and she said to me, she goes, Tim, I love this one when you talk about a comeback is not a go-back.
Because a lot of people, when they have a setback, they think I got to go back and fix it all. But a comeback is not a go back. So when you've done all those steps that I said, let's go forward, let's proceed.
You know, the skills, the tools, and the attitude are the thing that's going to take you from almost to utmost living. So my skills and my tools, they lie in the plates of I'm a master locksmith. If somebody has a problem, ooh, I'm good. Like, what key is it going to be? You know, I can watch somebody on TMZ, and I'll tell one of my assistants, watch.
Within a week, their people are going to reach out to me. And then I'm right. Like, all day long, all the time. Because I am a really good locksmith. But I never tried to be the locksmith to the stars, the comeback coach to the stars. No, I love people. So I work with ARC, which was started by my good friend, Robert Downey, in prison reform. I'm on the board.
And then I work with Carrie Kasem, Kasem Cares, the famous Casey Kasem. It's for elder abuse. I do a lot of work in the area of mental health and addiction and also work with the homeless because I love people. So one of my favorite stories, real quick, is... I was going into, I'll give them a shout out because maybe there'll be a sponsor someday, 7-Eleven.
I was going into 7-Eleven and I saw real sharp looking young man, who I later found out was 23 years of age, but very together. And he was asking for money, he was begging, but he did not look like a guy that would be begging for money. So I asked him how long he'd been out here and he said, well, for two weeks. And I said, you don't seem like a guy that would be doing this.
And he said, well, I came here to be an actor and a lot of bad things happened, but can I just have some money? I said, well, I'm gonna give you a lot of money And then he said, how much? It was so funny. And I said, I gave him the amount. And so it was a lot. And his eyes got open. I said, but now you got to hear my speech. I said, OK, so why are you out here?
