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

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.
