What does it mean to stop envying others?

John Smith 0:29
Don't envy them. Instead, become one of them. Why is this perhaps one of the most important mantras you'll ever hear? Well, to put it simply, to envy is to build walls. It's to create divides between you and them, between where you are and where you most want to be. We're not in the business of creating divides. We're in the business of building roads. It's about understanding that you're perceiving not a tale of two different worlds, you're perceiving the beginning of one journey, your journey. The dedication and time and commitment required to start today, to step into something new. There's a Chinese proverb that states, the best time to have planted a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time

Why is now the best time to start your journey?

John Smith 1:25
is today and my friend you don't have 20 years ago but you have the now and the now is everything oh but how much time i've wasted you might think nope that's wrong for two reasons one first you're ready to go now for a reason you're not the same person you were a year ago or two years ago or three years ago If it took until today for that journey to start, then so be it. Here you are. You can't compare your timeline to the timelines of others. There's too many variables in life. It'd be impossible to crack or understand. Just go now. Make use of the clarity and inspiration. You just greenlit perhaps the most important thing you'll ever do. Don't you dare sit and wait. Second, If you think days past were lived in vain, that they were wasted or filler, I ask that you think again.

How can past experiences shape your future?

John Smith 2:32
Because the lessons that will be derived from those experiences, some of you don't even understand yet, will become so valuable in this next chapter that it's mind-blowing. There are no wrong terms. Those detours were the way, the only way, as you'll see in due time. But too much time has passed. I'm too old. I'm too insert X. No, stop separating yourself from what you want and move towards what you want. Stop categorizing that or them or that North Star as anything other than possible and step into its orbit. See, being that we are all storytellers, We are all sculptors. We are all artists in our own way. It's worth understanding that those artists who came before you, well, the sunset never cared how old they were. It didn't ask how many years they'd spent thinking about their dreams instead of chasing them. It never asked, hey, why didn't you start sooner or begin sooner or step out the front door sooner? No, it just was. It was bold and vibrant, daring them to join.
John Smith 3:48
And in that moment, staring at the colors streaking across the sky, they realized something. The sky wasn't asking for perfection. It wasn't asking for years of experience or dedication. It just wanted them to pick up a brush and create, to do, to begin, to step into a world they could rightfully make their own. And so they did. And I'm sure their first strokes were messy, hesitant. You bet they were self-conscious and doubtful. You bet imposter syndrome knocked at that door. But they were there, in the moment, realizing that there is no too late. The sunset taught them that life isn't about the time we've lost. It's about the beauty that we can create starting now. Always now. And by the way, our minds will always try and fight now.
John Smith 4:50
They'll try and rationalize their way out of now, villainize now, come up with a million different reasons now is impractical or counterproductive. While its adversary, tomorrow, on the other hand, always seems to sit glowing on its pedestal. Tomorrow is always so safe and inviting. Easier to accept than now, far easier. but tomorrow is fool's gold.
