rarely is a question of talent or
technique it's just one of belief and
the concomitant will to kind of do
something that either no one's done
before or even more I think the crack
opened the barriers of people considered
impossible or undoable and that kind of
belief I think is rarer than Talent
talent is it's around to having both of
those levels there's only a few people
that they really have that I think in
the history they're the ones that have
really changed things when you're
looking at everything is such a gift to
be able to look at something and to love
it for the sake of it and nurturing and
maintaining that is one of the hardest
tests of any Pro much less for anyone to
find right what is the Beethoven who
never found his piano or harpsichord or
right those days you want to go out at
her to your saw or you just suck you can
you're not making progress you're
running into the and you feel to feed it
but that's that's the nature of love you
know it's got hate in there you know
it's got pain in there and it draws you
to it that's the magnetism I see people
with talent with all those things but
the one thing they don't have is that
just love for doing it for the sake of
it in the sense of obligation to do
something with what you're given you
know
there's something to that it's important
I think getting what you want quenches
the fire that got you there often unless
is something replaced by something more
permanent which becomes more intangible
I think the successes of winning right
you want to be the best in the
neighborhood and then win the local
contest and then whatever whatever its
it just keeps going up and then by the
time you get there you can have a
stadium screaming your name it's
actually happened a couple of times to
me and there is a visceral Excel
exhilaration to it there is I've
experienced that I know what that's
right you land a trick in there it just
lights up it's crazy at the same time
[Music]
it's hollow it's hollow that's not the
thing that can drive you at least not
for long it's being able to say oh I had
that I had a model or I had people honor
that or whatever all of these honors
eventually that stuff fades to just
static and you're left with you and your
board if you decide that that's what you
love that's what you're doing then your
days are numbered so the trick is to
always peel back of why am I doing this
in the first place it is easy to say and
I think it's smothering to say and often
there's a culture of saying that if if
it cannot be proven it must not be
possible
in the big takeaway from that theorem is
that there's lots of things that cannot
be proven though they are correct
because we see things so often in front
of us the way that it should be done and
it imposes a kind of barrier through
what people know and see a familiarity
but maybe you can change something
within you that can be just outside a
new set of axioms some new skill set it
will take you further and I think that's
the history of development
it's interesting how getting what you
think you want can end up being the
force that pushes you in to paint
yourself into a corner or pushes you
into something terrible to be taught the
mountain I'm the best I'm the king
guarding it
another Nietzsche quote write what's
left for you when you make it at the top
but lightning you know
is this admit sir it's everybody has a
unique set of variables that they can
put in place and express their
individual identity in a form of call it
greatness that's something to be
remembered that's what you look for
[Music]
it's not there's anything just find joy
in what you do for the sake of it and
then recognize how you're being shaped
in the process and hopefully you become
a better man through
it's not fair it's not fair your car
broke down
it's not fair your friend passed away
it's not fair you were bullied it's not
fair that your business failed it's not
fair you lost all your money and it's
not bad that she left you it's not fair
because life is not fair so now you know
it's not fair what are you gonna do
you've already complained about it are
you gonna keep whining or are you going
to take accountability for it
because what's more whining going to do
what's more complaining gonna do it's
not gonna change the fact that life can
be unfair at times so what do you need
to do you need to stop complaining stop
whining stop playing the victim and stop
feeling sorry for yourself
and start taking control start being
accountable start taking responsibility
start changing your situation stop
complaining about your life and start
working on changing your life success
does not come to those who complain
success comes to those who change their
circumstances when needed you're not
weak your power you can change your
circumstances
circumstances don't make you you make
your circumstances do what you can with
what you have and where you are
no one said work 20%
no one said try a little less wake up
with your own message in your head the
message that inspires you inspires you
to work harder strive for success stop
waiting for the right time the right
time is now take it now work now be
creative be strong be successful what do
you want to do right now do something
meaningful meaningful with works
something that will impact your life
impact it for the better make it better
you have it in you
do what you can now full of ambition
fulfilled to 100% no more than that
break down the walls that contain you
imprison you from achieving everything
you have ever wanted surround yourself
with people who lift you up people who
can see you rise
people who can see you move forward not
holding you back people who move with
you not moving against you or finding
friends of similar character and heart
that's important to me I strive for that
be the person you need to become feel
the strength you've always wanted to
feel see your courage as a superpower a
superpower to help you progress to boost
your confidence boost your life upgrade
it to be better more fulfilling life one
where you and only you are in control
what you do in these reflexive couplings
shapes you you shape it it shapes you
you don't disconnect from that you just
tumble forward over time may become what
you do and you find hopefully at the end
of that process
you're not insufferable that you
actually have something to give it can
be present you know
so for all I've done I appreciate I
don't look at it as much but ultimately
it just goes out there
it's just what you do you just become
one with that I think that's been a key
for me of why I've been able to sustain
this fire that's so seemingly
easily clinched so when I see people who
have had success
I see boredom for the most part in them
and then I see a tombstone and circling
back to what trophies and those things
represented right Fineman great
physicists said that is the Nobel Prize
would be the tombstone and all great
work just look at it I haven't done the
study of Academy Awards right but
usually when you get what you thought
you wanted fire goes away I'm honored to
have had the rippling impact that I have
helped formulate the language
of a community where others can help
shape and express themselves in a
process and connect that to me for
people like me that doesn't come easily
but ultimately this would be a good man
you know
you ever hear that goofy internet thing
of found it so stupid stuff that people
send you can you name the last Nobel
Prize winners and will impede alright
but you can name the fifth-grade teacher
they had faith in you right it's the
people you touch singularly
[Music]
that's a bigger test in a way
