I was with Kobe the week before he passed away.
I wonder if someone would have whispered, "Kobe", when he got in the car the day.
"Six more days."
How would that week maybe have been different for him?
What would he have said? Who would he have loved? Who would he have reached out to?
What would have mattered to him?
About the Saturday before, "Kobe, one more day."
See, it hits us when I say that.
And there's a whisper happening that you can't hear.
We forget we're gonna die.
Napoleon Hill says, begin with the end in mind.
What if you do that with your life?
What if you began with the end of your life in mind and worked it backwards?
See, when we begin to distill downs and we realize, yeah, there's a power to one more because there are not promised how many we have.
Have another day to change their life, they have another opportunity to do one more, they have another opportunity to make their family proud of them.
They still have more time, they don't just have one more day probably.
to be the one in their family.
Life is beautiful, it's precious.
And sometimes we only have an appreciation for it in its absence.
Sometimes we only have an appreciation for the power of the one mores or the people in our lives when we imagine their absence.
And so, I would just ask everybody to consider that.
When you find a family or a person that's happy and successful or either one.
Somewhere back in their lineage, they weren't, that family wasn't.
And then the one shows up.
The one, and that one changes that family forever.
It changes the way they live, the way the world treats them, the way they think.
They're the Neo, they're the one in their family.
And in my family, I'm the one, I'm the one, I didn't like it, I didn't hope for it, I fought for it.
I fought for it.
And if you're listening to this or watching it.
Why don't you consider the fact that potentially maybe you're the one.
And the fact that you don't think you are or that you're not qualified to be the one or don't have the background or the skills or the confidence, probably makes you the one.
Because that was me.
So, if you're listening to this or watching it, stop discounting yourself.
Stop carrying these bags of your life of the things you're embarrassed or ashamed of or that you think are insignificant, that don't amount to anything.
Those are the things.
You, precious you, that could change another precious human being's life in a moment where they need you the most.
And if you don't believe you're qualified, if you don't believe you can do it, you're going to miss those moments in your life, and your entire existence here wasn't what it was supposed to be.
