Yeah, don't alienate yourself from other people's success or downfalls or problem.

Mm-hmm educate yourself to it Best piece of advice.

I'm not here to change what you're doing.

I'll tell you that you're doing it wrong I'm just simply giving information you can use it or not Your life is gonna be your life No matter what if all of our lives are gonna be the same this world would be stupid Maybe some of the stuff that's worked for me might work for you this idea and this notion that you could be anything you want You can accomplish anything you want.

The thing that has worked for me is to remember The hard times people are gonna make decisions based on what's right for them.

I know where I sit today I'm able to make decisions from a perspective that I now know I have that's great for me I know I'm happy.

My priorities are straight.

I know what I want our life in the long run I know what matters to me most Nothing from the outside is going to affect my way of thinking and it allows me then to be present in the moment and understand Holy shit, that's the stuff I have around me right now.

This is this that I dreamed up when I was a kid I don't work for the will and want of the other person's perception My time is spent wisely if I'm not working.

I'm with my family.

I'm not running the street.

I've seen it all I'm I'm good I don't want no problems from nobody What helps me is to keep the hard times in the front of my mind This allows me to go into these big moments with a different perspective.

You can't avoid the dumb mistakes You can't avoid the life lesson You can't run from that.

I welcome it Hit my dumb ass so I know not to do it again, you know, right from wrong That doesn't mean that that's gonna stop you.

You gotta think what success comes what everything's given to you.

Everything's granted That's where success becomes the biggest drug success also makes you feel like you're invincible.

I keep my back against this mother Every day it's against This because it's what I believe in and when my back is against this mother then there's nowhere to go The future looks bright because I wanted to be right those dreams become reality If you really do believe them and if you put the work into them You can't just dream just a dream you can't just dream and expect to show up you can't do that I dream of one day having well, what are you doing to make that dream come true?

It doesn't just it doesn't that's not how it works.

Something has to be put into Execution to make a dream happen.

So a lot of the things that you see me do These aren't impromptu moments.

This stuff is well thought out Calculated it's it's been on purpose for quite some time People are ignorant to that side of Addiction that's an addiction.

That's a real-life thing But people don't understand that no matter what there's always gonna be a high level of opinion and negativity that comes with any level of success Everybody loves to have something to say it becomes cool.

Mm-hmm at a certain point to say something negative People love to watch the movie of success.

Oh my god, we saw it We saw you get here, but it's a better movie to watch you fall So if you're content in that fall and shoulder shrugging, oh, well, I was here at one point in time Then that fall is gonna be a fast fall.

It's easy Along the way you're gonna make mistakes.

Here's the shit that That is so simplistic that people just don't get who do you think plans to go to?

Jail, what bank robber do you think ever put the plan together to rob a bank to get caught after you don't think they?

All think that they're gonna be the ones to get away.

You don't think that in their mind This is this is gonna be a life-changing moment You don't think that people that overdose on drugs think that there's no shock that it can happen to them You don't think that there's there's actual mistakes that happen within bad decision-making There is You don't think that the person that bungee-jump thought that this will come back up.

You think that person knew it was snap these are all just really just Examples that I'm pulling on my head You have to experience Some down to know why you're getting up the whole thing of a Many it's ridiculous.

Do I think that there should be consequences for people's actions?

Absolutely, but are you telling me that you should never be able to recover from a mistake?

Then why do people go to jail?

Aren't you supposed to go to jail to learn from your mistakes so you can get out and then do better?

That's what this whole reform thing is It's like you send me to jail to go do better and get better and then I come out and because I was in Jail, nobody wants to allow me to get better.

It's a backwards thing.

Are we teaching lessons or not?

Do we want people to improve or do we not?

The reason why a lot of people don't get up these things are are hard things to overcome and deal with They're very hard when you do Make it out of those storms And when you are an individual that can go wow I can't believe we experienced that and you look back and go.

Oh my god.

That was how many years ago?

But look at us now look at where we are now.

That's a thing.

That's something to hold on to Me and my kids had a talk the other day life is so not perfect I said of you guys you've only seen perfect you haven't seen challenges and I said, this is an example of a challenge I say and now in dealing with this I'm gonna use a phrase and that phrase is cowboy up cowboy and up means strap up your boots and Get to work You get it done Whether you like it or not You got to get it done in this case go through your turmoil But unfortunately dad can't be here to pick up the pieces go through it These are the things that make you better.

These are the things that give you character You'll learn from it later and I really embrace that moment because I'm like this is a lesson They'll get to walk out of this.

I said it may not hit today It may not hit next week, but eventually it's gonna hit but if you don't embrace those moments Then you then you're missing out on the beauty of life.

You're missing out on the lessons that come with it I just think it's a great opportunity for me to highlight a lot of moments and give people a understanding and visual As to how I dealt with Where I got the strength to move on and how?

understanding me and myself Is the most beneficial thing that I've ever done in my life.

This isn't a way that you have to live.

This isn't a Book that you gotta follow or else you're gonna lose.

No, it's just information So many people are afraid to give and share information.

I'm not I'm just sharing information Statistics show I'm supposed to be on drugs.

I'm supposed to be a train wreck right now I'm supposed to be on my down slide keeps you grounded The fact that I'm the complete opposite of what I'm quote-unquote supposed to be The fact that you hear people say five minutes of fame and six minutes of fame and it's much more bigger than that the fact that at any point in time that rug can be pulled out from under you and That world can no longer exist.

It's false Hollywood is false.

It's not real.

It's make-believe That's not real the day that you believe it and think is real is a day you lose.

It's not real That's why I work as hard as I do.

I'm going to get it all right now Jerry Seinfeld said I don't want to do this anymore because I know right now.

I'm at the top of it I'm here and I want this to end on such a high note that people always have good things to say about it You
