Full Episode
you would be surprised what you could do if you acknowledged that dream that you have, if you acknowledged that passion that you have, if you acknowledged that there is a chance you could do it. It felt like forever when I was an 11-year-old getting out of school for summer break, just thinking about how much Minecraft I was going to play.
unlimited amounts it felt like forever when I was a freshman in high school thinking about when was I going to play for varsity soccer it felt like forever when I was 19 going into college and thinking man where am I gonna live after I graduate I'm gonna be 23 I'm not gonna worry about that right now I'm 23 And I want to tell you something.
I want to tell you something because I've already lived it. It won't last forever. It won't. It won't. And some of you are already realizing this. Some of you in high school are starting to realize that time flies a lot faster. And it seems kind of crazy because when you're young, it's like you have endless time. A month feels like a year in adult life when you're a kid. It does.
Because you don't have responsibilities. Because a lot of the things that you're worried about are dependent on other people. And you just have a more plastic mind. You know, you can morph it into whatever you want. But the truth is it doesn't... It won't last forever. It won't last forever. And... It's going to fly by.
And if you don't want to take it from me because I'm 23 and I'm some young buck, you can take it from my grandparents who are both 70 years old, 70 plus. And I asked them one day on the couch, I was just like, yo, gramps, yo, grandma, does it really go by that fast? And both of them were like, you have no idea. And you have no idea either. You can't really conceptualize it.
It's one of those things that just happens like this windstorm in Austin, Texas. And it is also blistering cold in Austin, Texas. What is going on? But if you're worried about time running out and whatever phase of life you're in, you're like, man, I'm in college. and I feel as if time is going by so quick. Spoiler alert, it is. It is. It is going by very quickly. It is.
You're not crazy for thinking that. The one thing that a lot of successful people, when they're older, wish they could have is time. It is the most valuable asset. It is because you do not get it back. There is no refund. There is no chase method for time. You cannot just get it for free. No. You have to spend it for whatever we want. We have to spend it if we want to get a job.
We have to spend it if we want to have good friends and good relationships with our family and our loved ones. But in a similar vein... to it not lasting forever, there will be periods of our life that we wish would not last forever. Maybe some of us are in that period right now where things suck. Everything is mid. You don't want to get out of bed because it sucks. And that's okay.
Contrary to popular belief, not every day needs to be happy, happy, happy, happy. No. Some days will suck. That is the human experience. Some days will be a whole lot of mid, and what you will have to do in those days is get through it. We can do everything that comes. Das Handwerk.
