  • 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

  • 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.
