STOP Trusting "Motivational" Speakers (2020)
success
is overrated I knew all these
motivational guys, the gurus, they're gonna be salty. They say "Go! Go!
Go! Hustle hard skip sleep, make money. That's cool! It has its place but all
of that takes second priority to enjoying your life to loving the people around
you 'cause let me tell you this. the death of all these celebrities the death
of the people around me really got me thinking about how short life is and if
you listen to these guys who say "Go, go, go", you're going to miss
what's important. you're gonna find yourself climbing up a ladder and if you
get to the top, that's if, you get to the top you're gonna realize dang... it
was really against the wrong wall I promise you there are a lot of successful
people in the graveyard right now. That would happily, I guarantee you, happily
give anything to be Above-ground one more day so that they can tell their
family, to tell their friends, that they love them. Just one more time.
Because
that's what's important as the old saying goes There has never been a deathbed
regret. That went "Boy, I wish I'd spent more time in the office." Or
"Boy, I wish I spent more time hustling". Or "Boy, I wish I
spent more time making more money." It was Jack Kornfield who said
"In the end <ONLY THREE THINGS REALLY MATTER> 1: How well we
lived 2: How well we loved and 3:How well we learned...... to LET GO. He didn't
say how well we we built our bank accounts. He didn't say how well we we built
our mansions. He didn't say how well we built our social-media followings. You
better wake up before his too late. I believe it was Shakespeare who said I've
seen many unhappy kings But many happy shoemakers. Zig Ziglar said
"Everybody knows that money won't make them happy But everybody wants to
find out for themselves.
" So listen to me brother, I'm not saying don't be
successful There's nothing wrong with financial success. But say I'm an
entrepreneur myself. I like money In fact, I'm gonna tell you a secret. I don't
think you can get too much money but if money gets you. That's too much If
money becomes your god If you make a million dollars, but lose your friends,
and your family, in the process, Is that success? If you make a billion
dollars, but lose your health in the process, is that success? These guys talk
about don't sleep what you mean "Don't sleep". What do you mean
"Don't sleep?" Sleep is more important in your diet and exercise
program combined. You can't think clearly if you don't sleep. It talking about
I sleep when I'm dead. No, you'll be dead if you don't sleep. The Dalai Lama
himself, he said "Man Sacrifices his health to build up his money. And
then man sacrifices his money to rebuild his health." You ever felt bad
for enjoying yourself? Like "Oh I should be doing this, I should be doing
that."
But you should be doing exactly what you're doing now, fully.
Whether that's that's watching a movie. Whether that's, enjoying a night out
with friends, you should be doing that fully. Don't let these guys, these
gurus, guilt trip you out of enjoying your life, or taking care of you. Don't
let your ambition become your prison Imagine you grind hard every day for years
and you finally get the dream car you always wanted, but you don't have anybody
in that passenger seat to ride with you. You're driving so fast, you don't even
appreciate the breeze blowing through your hair. Your hand you better slow
down. Slow down and enjoy this thing called life. Enjoy the moments. You only
have a limited number of them. Stop always grinding. See when you're grinding, you're
going to get something. You need to flow with life. Flow. Stop and smell the
flowers and give other people the flowers while they, still smell them. Because
in the end... only three things truly matter. How well we lived, how well we
loved, and how well we learned to let go.
