HOW DO WE BECOME OUR BEST SELF?
I'M REALLY TRYING, BUT IT'S
HARD SOME DAYS.
>> SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU REALLY
FOCUSING ON THAT, OR
ARE YOU LETTING OUTSIDE THINGS
INFLUENCE YOU ON
BECOMING YOUR BEST IF.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO OUR
INTUITION, AND FOLLOW THAT
THROUGH.
THROUGH.
THROUGH. >> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. YOU CAN'T LET OUTSIDE THINGS
LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA OR
NEWS OF THE DAY DISTRACT YOU
INTO FOCUSING ON BEING
THE BEST YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY
YOU CAN.
YOU CAN.
YOU CAN. THAT MATTERS.
THAT MATTERS. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. I LIKE THAT ONE.
THAT ONE IS REALLY GOOD.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. THE NEXT ONE FAIL FORWARD.
FACE YOUR FEARS.
FAILING IS OKAY.
YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT
YOU GET UP FROM IT.
PLEASE DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE THAT SOMETHING
FACE OR SOMETHING GOES WRONG,
AND YOU STAY THERE,
AND WALLOW IN IT, AND MAKE
YOURSELF A VICTIM,
BECAUSE NO ONE LIKES THE VICTIM
MENTALITY.
MENTALITY. WE'RE NOT HERE TO BE A VICTIM.
WE'RE HERE TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
WE'RE IN CONTROL OF THAT.
EVEN IF YOU'RE FAILING, FAIL
FORWARD.
FORWARD.
FORWARD. GET UP AND TRY IT AGAIN.
>> WE TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE
TIME ON THE ROUND TABLE
THAT FAILING IS WHAT WE TRY TO
PROTECT OUR KIDS
FROM, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T DO
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. YOU
THAT. YOU SHOULD LET THEM FAIL, WALK
THROUGH THAT FAILURE,
AND THEY'LL BE BETTER FOR IT ON
THE OTHER SIDE.
THE SAME APPLIES TO OURSELVES.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. YOU CAN NOT BE AFRAID OF
FAILURE.
FAILURE.
FAILURE. IF IT DOES HAPPEN, SHAKE IT
OFF.
OFF.
OFF. WHO
OFF. WHO MONKS US HAVEN'T HAD SOME
SORT OF FAILURE IN
YOUR LIFE?

BETTER ON THE OTHER
SIDE.
SIDE.

THERE'S NO LUCK.
ONLY PREPARATION AND
OPPORTUNITY.
OPPORTUNITY. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. I LIKE THAT.
>> LET THAT SIT IN.
THERE'S NO LUCK.
ONLY PREPARATION AND
OPPORTUNITY.
OPPORTUNITY. SO WHATEVER YOU'RE DREAMING
FOR, ARE YOU PREPARING
YOURSELF FOR THAT DREAM TO COME
TRUE?
TRUE?
TRUE? LIKE FOR ME, I WANT TO BE A
SIZE 6. HOWEVER, I BOUGHT POUND
CAKE AS A SNACK TODAY.
AM I PREPARING MYSELF FOR THE
DREAM OF BEING A SIZE
6.
6.
6. >>
6. >> FIRST OF ALL, YOU LOOK
GREAT.
GREAT.
GREAT. I
GREAT. I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD PUT
THAT MUCH PRESSURE ON
YOURSELF TO BE WHATEVER SIZE
YOU FEEL LIKE SOCIAL
MEDIA AND OTHER OUTSIDE SOURCES
ARE TELLING YOU.
IS THAT REALLY GOING TO MAKE
YOU HAPPY?
YOU HAPPY? >> NO.
>> NO.
>> NO. IT'S WHAT THOSE DREAMS IN MY
CLOSET TELL ME.
BUT ALSO MY POUND CAKE IS GOING
TO MAKE ME HAPPY.
SO I'M NOT GOING TO SUCCUMB TO
THE PRESSURE.
THE PRESSURE. HOWEVER, I'M JUST SAYING,
REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, IF
YOU HAVE DREAMS, AND THAT'S
WHAT YOU'RE FOCUSING
ONLY, ARE YOU DOING WHAT YOU
NEED TO DO ON YOUR END
TO PREPARE FOR IT.
YOU CAN'T JUST EXPECT IT WILL
FALL FROM THE SKY.
YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR PART.
>> THE GUY ENDS UP DIEING IN
THE FLOOD, AND THEN
WHEN HE GETS TO HENN HE SAID,
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO SAVE ME."
GOD SAID, "I ISN'T YOU A BOAT."
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?
HE'S GOING TO PULL YOU OUT OF
THE WATER?
THE WATER? HOP ON THE BOAT.
>> YOU HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES AND
OPPORTUNITIES AND SEIZE THEM.
SEIZE THEM. >> AND ALSO IT'S OKAY IF YOU
FAIL WHEN YOU TRY TO
SEIZE THAT OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE
YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST
TRY.
TRY.
TRY. >>
TRY. >> AND NOW YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT
TO FAIL FORWARD.
SO YOU MAY FAIL.
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP IT GOING.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. WE'RE REALLY GROWING.
>> WHAT YOU FOCUS ON WILL GROW.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. SO HERE'S THE THING ABOUT THAT.
IF YOU FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DON'T
WANT, IF YOU GO
AROUND SAYING, "I DON'T WANT
THIS, I DON'T WANT THIS
TO HAPPEN," THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
FOCUSING ON.
FOCUSING ON. YOU'RE STILL BLOCKING THE REAL
THING THAT YOU RALLY
WANT.
WANT.
WANT. SO
WANT. SO WHAT YOU'RE FOCUSING ON
AGAIN WILL ALWAYS
MANIFEST ITSELF.
MANIFEST ITSELF. YOU NOD TO FOCUS ON THE BIG
PICTURE, FOCUS ON YOUR
ENGAME, NOT THE STUFF THAT'S
GOING TO KEEP YOU FROM
GETTING THERE.
GETTING THERE. >> THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE.
IT'S NOT DONG YOUR STRESS LEVEL
ANY GOOD TO DWELL ON
THE NEGATIVE.
THE NEGATIVE. >> YOU'RE JUST CREATING BLOCK
CAGE FOR WHAT YOU
RALLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO
RECEIVE.
RECEIVE.
RECEIVE. >> ALL RIGHT.
TWO MORE.
TWO MORE.
TWO MORE. >>> THE BEST WAY TO KNOW YOUR
PURPOSE IS TO SERVE
OTHERS.
OTHERS.
OTHERS. I
OTHERS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS.
ACTUALLY MY PASTOR IS TEACHING
A SERIES ON THIS
RIGHT NOW ABOUT FINDING YOUR
PURPOSE AND HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS FOR YOUR
HAPPINESS IN LIFE.
>> SURE.
>> SURE.
>> SURE. >> AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW, JUST
START SERVING OTHER
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. FIND SOMETHING TO DO THAT
ALLOWS YOU TO SERVE
OTHERS, AND IN THAT GIVING, YOU
WILL FIND WHAT
REALLY IS YOUR JAM.
YOU'LL FIND WHAT YOU LIKE TO
DO.
DO.
DO. YOU'LL FIND WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE
TO DO.
TO DO.
TO DO. BUT IN ANY WAY, IF YOU'RE
SERVING OTHER PEOPLE,
YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL BETTER
ABOUT IT REGARDLESS.
AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR PURPOSE.
>> I LOVE THAT.
THAT MAKES ME EXCITED.
>> YOU HAVE TO.
WE'RE ALL HERE FOR THAT.
>> I KNOW.
>> WHEN YOU'RE WALKING IN YOUR
PURPOSE, LIFE IS
GRAND.
GRAND.
GRAND. IT'S AWESOME.
IT'S AWESOME. IT'S TRUE HAPPINESS.
>> AND TO FEEL THAT GRATITUDE.
>>> THIS LAST ONE LIKE.
WHAT IS IT?
>> YOU ARE NOT YOUR SALARY.
YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU MAKE.
YOU ARE NOT WHAT PEOPLE SAY YOU
SHOULD BE MAKING.
YOUR MONEY REALLY DOESN'T
MATTER.
MATTER.
MATTER. ARE YOU A GOOD PERSON?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> ARE YOU FOSTERING THE RIGHT
RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR
LIFE?
LIFE?
LIFE? I
LIFE? I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE, IF
YOU'RE DOING THE OTHER
FIVE THINGS ON THIS LIST,
SERVING OTHERS, TRYING TO
FIND YOUR PERFECT, YOU'RE GOOD.
YOU'RE GOOD.
YOU'RE GOOD. >> I LOVE THAT.
I'M GOING TO LET YOU HAVE THE
LAST WORD.
LAST WORD. I LOVE THAT SO MUCH.
