What is death?
Is it the end
or is it the beginning?
And what is life?
What is this thing we call life?
Indiscriminate
only when your attention and involvement is indiscriminate
Does the universe open up to you
because life is happening because of its openness.
This is a fundamental difference between death and life is
people are thinking is just breath
all right on one level
that is also openness
Whether you allow this to happen
or you don't allow it to happen,
whether you did it consciously or unconsciously
but it's happening, isn't it?
Openness is on every subatomic particle
is in communication with everything.
That's why this is going on.
Breath is happening
so much is happening in connection with everything.
It is only an openness you're alive
As you close doors
you're dying in installment.
For now what you want to focus on
is you're hopelessly average
amazing
And now it's about recognizing that
the average human being is designed
to learn and grow and to get better.
And so now it's a question of
how do we put enough time and energy into something
to actually get better at that thing.
And that really is
the key that we want to focus on
I think when you feel stuck
or dissatisfied in your life,
It's a signal
and it's not a signal that your life is broken.
It's a signal that one of your most basic needs
are not being met.
Your need for exploration.
Everything about your life
about your body grows
your cells regenerate, your hair, your nails
everything grows for your entire life.
And your soul
needs exploration and growth.
And the only way you'll get it
is by forcing yourself to
to be uncomfortable.
what's the most important key to success?
I think it's hunger
it's not getting satisfied
a hunger that doesn't go,
a hunger to learn,
a hunger to grow,
a hunger to serve,
a hunger to give
a hunger to create break throughs
most people are hungry
until they make a certain amount of money
and then they get comfortable
and there's nothing wrong with that
but it's not about the money,
it's not about the business,
it's about your growth
because every one of us either grows or dies
people ask me all the time, what does it take to be happy?
I say one word, progress
progress equals happiness
because achieving a goal feels good for how long?
A week, a month, three months?
And then there needs to be something else
and the reason for something else
is because you gotta grow
The only thing that I think people
should fear is standing still.
So I've often said that
running a thousand miles an hour in the wrong direction
is better than standing still.
Stop waiting for something to move you and move yourself.
Every day move yourself.
In the morning move yourself,
in the afternoon move yourself,
at night move yourself.
Be very intentional
and very deliberate
about moving yourself.
