00:00:00.049 --> 00:00:03.559
Sometimes, man, you got to LIH you got to let it happen.

00:00:04.429 --> 00:00:05.929
You got to push yourself.

00:00:06.318 --> 00:00:07.278
That goes without saying.

00:00:08.179 --> 00:00:10.128
You can't just, oh, well at, in life.

00:00:10.939 --> 00:00:12.558
And so you have to push yourself.

00:00:12.978 --> 00:00:14.269
To continue to grow.

00:00:15.948 --> 00:00:18.649
Yet you don't force the results.

00:00:20.748 --> 00:00:21.739
See people.

00:00:22.368 --> 00:00:23.778
Either under correct.

00:00:24.678 --> 00:00:25.789
Are they over-correct.

00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:32.478
Either they dial it back too far and don't push play it safe.

00:00:32.988 --> 00:00:36.139
And they say, oh, well, it is what it is.

00:00:38.978 --> 00:00:42.500
or They push hard.

00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:44.598
They try to jam it through.

00:00:45.649 --> 00:00:46.848
And they try to force.

00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:49.069
An outcome force.

00:00:49.459 --> 00:00:50.268
The results.

00:00:51.619 --> 00:00:53.359
And they, they do this.

00:00:54.228 --> 00:00:55.250
By forcing.

00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.548
a preconceived plan.

00:00:59.689 --> 00:01:00.378
Into.

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.679
Circumstances that they're now facing.

00:01:04.549 --> 00:01:05.840
That were uncertain.

00:01:06.590 --> 00:01:10.310
That were unforeseen and because they baked this plan.

00:01:10.819 --> 00:01:12.560
And it looked good on paper.

00:01:13.849 --> 00:01:15.739
And it looked Bulletproof to them.

00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:17.870
They try to jam it through.

00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:21.289
And they become rigid.

00:01:21.978 --> 00:01:27.289
and the more rigid you are, the more brittle you become in the quicker, you're going to snap and break.

00:01:29.269 --> 00:01:30.739
Instead of what they should've done.

00:01:31.429 --> 00:01:31.969
Is.

00:01:32.750 --> 00:01:33.948
You gotta be flexible.

00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:35.358
You gotta be cool.

00:01:35.929 --> 00:01:38.090
You got to adjust the plans.

00:01:39.828 --> 00:01:41.478
As the circumstances change.

00:01:41.929 --> 00:01:43.909
See things will always go your way.

00:01:45.349 --> 00:01:46.939
If you always adjust for the way.

00:01:48.289 --> 00:01:49.638
You don't make a big deal out of it.

00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:51.828
You don't turn to the audience.

00:01:51.828 --> 00:01:53.780
which are other people think about it.

00:01:54.019 --> 00:01:55.668
The people you turn to.

00:01:56.448 --> 00:01:58.789
And explain your situation, where are they standing?

00:01:59.328 --> 00:02:00.198
Behind you.

00:02:01.099 --> 00:02:02.239
They let you take.

00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:05.060
The head, they were too scared, even step forward.

00:02:05.090 --> 00:02:05.539
Anyway.

00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:12.289
So the people that you're explaining your circumstances to how unfair it is, how wrong it is.

00:02:12.419 --> 00:02:13.729
they're standing behind you.

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.000
And you know what they're really telling you as they nod their head to you.

00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.549
Glad it was you and not me.

00:02:20.030 --> 00:02:21.229
They got no nuts.

00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:22.879
They got no boldness.

00:02:23.060 --> 00:02:25.939
And you're explaining that to the unbold.

00:02:26.629 --> 00:02:28.159
To the no nuts crowd.

00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.689
You just got to adjust the circumstances.

00:02:33.229 --> 00:02:37.068
This is the paradox to it all, man, this is what faith is all about.

00:02:37.068 --> 00:02:43.368
Faith is stepping into uncertainty, not knowing what the outcome's going to be.

00:02:43.818 --> 00:02:46.399
This is what I talk about all the time, because that's the three things.

00:02:46.789 --> 00:02:47.748
We all face.

00:02:48.079 --> 00:02:49.099
Rich and famous.

00:02:49.969 --> 00:02:53.419
Poor busted up and broke uncertainty adversity.

00:02:54.289 --> 00:02:55.789
And complacency, what are you going to do?

00:02:56.028 --> 00:02:58.128
Oh, well it are just the plans.

00:02:58.669 --> 00:03:00.528
So this is the paradox to it all.

00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:02.959
Where you push hard.

00:03:05.659 --> 00:03:06.618
And then you let it happen.

00:03:07.188 --> 00:03:08.628
You let the results happen.

00:03:09.741 --> 00:03:10.100
And.

00:03:11.241 --> 00:03:12.830
Whatever the results are.

00:03:14.091 --> 00:03:14.871
You're appreciative.

00:03:16.281 --> 00:03:20.841
Doesn't mean, you're thankful for getting your nuts kicked in for getting run over.

00:03:21.471 --> 00:03:22.010
No.

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:25.070
But it just means I had an opportunity.

00:03:25.371 --> 00:03:26.151
I competed.

00:03:26.540 --> 00:03:27.651
I threw my hat in the ring.

00:03:27.681 --> 00:03:28.691
I stepped forward.

00:03:30.418 --> 00:03:32.337
when everybody else was stepping back.

00:03:32.997 --> 00:03:34.078
Be appreciative of that.

00:03:34.078 --> 00:03:35.307
Be grateful for that.

00:03:35.668 --> 00:03:36.747
Not the results.

00:03:37.647 --> 00:03:38.578
Be grateful.

00:03:39.117 --> 00:03:41.068
That you were a worthy competitor.

00:03:42.448 --> 00:03:44.967
See, appreciative, being grateful.

00:03:46.288 --> 00:03:47.038
This is what.

00:03:47.758 --> 00:03:48.837
Keeps you curious.

00:03:49.288 --> 00:03:52.168
This is what cultivates your creativity.

00:03:53.140 --> 00:03:54.760
Because when you're not grateful.

00:03:55.811 --> 00:03:56.561
You're cynical.

00:03:57.100 --> 00:03:58.121
You're not curious.

00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:03.221
You're fearful and you can't be fearful and curious all at the same time ain't gonna happen.

00:04:06.670 --> 00:04:08.200
This is like the craziest thing in the world.

00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:08.471
Isn't it?

00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:09.640
It's crazy.

00:04:10.631 --> 00:04:11.681
To push hard.

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:15.971
And let the results be what they will be.

00:04:16.721 --> 00:04:18.880
Now here's the twist for you?

00:04:19.901 --> 00:04:20.831
Defend.

00:04:21.581 --> 00:04:22.451
Well, wait a minute.

00:04:22.961 --> 00:04:25.271
I just go to, oh, well, no.

00:04:25.750 --> 00:04:26.771
No, here's the twist.

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.141
The results.

00:04:30.100 --> 00:04:32.081
You don't take personal.

00:04:33.281 --> 00:04:34.091
It's not.

00:04:35.331 --> 00:04:37.180
a mark of who you are.

00:04:37.990 --> 00:04:39.310
It's where you are.

00:04:40.271 --> 00:04:41.800
In the process called life.

00:04:43.451 --> 00:04:44.560
So you push hard.

00:04:45.250 --> 00:04:46.661
You push to influence.

00:04:47.471 --> 00:04:49.480
You bring your best possible work.

00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:53.290
You put yourself in the best possible position that, you know, how.

00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:55.031
When you rejected.

00:04:55.990 --> 00:04:57.190
When you get punched.

00:04:57.971 --> 00:04:58.750
You find your best?

00:04:58.750 --> 00:04:59.440
Countermove.

00:05:00.071 --> 00:05:02.261
And you go back at it one more time.

00:05:02.290 --> 00:05:03.701
You have a one more mentality.

00:05:04.961 --> 00:05:05.771
And you let it happen.

00:05:07.331 --> 00:05:08.860
You let it come to you.

00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:11.081
This is why.

00:05:12.130 --> 00:05:12.971
The saying.

00:05:14.050 --> 00:05:15.461
That so many of you.

00:05:15.940 --> 00:05:16.571
Tweet.

00:05:17.110 --> 00:05:18.370
Yet you don't live by.

00:05:19.050 --> 00:05:23.800
is, "Patience is a virtue." It really is.

00:05:24.761 --> 00:05:25.360
Uh, virtue.

00:05:26.831 --> 00:05:28.031
You think, oh, WB.

00:05:29.081 --> 00:05:30.761
Is maniacal and running around.

00:05:31.451 --> 00:05:32.290
Trying to find.

00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:33.850
All right, move out of the way.

00:05:33.850 --> 00:05:34.781
I got to get a stock.

00:05:35.531 --> 00:05:36.880
Warren buffet don't do that.

00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:38.860
He's a billionaire.

00:05:39.310 --> 00:05:40.600
Many times over.

00:05:41.201 --> 00:05:42.161
Because he's patient.

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:43.961
He doesn't.

00:05:45.161 --> 00:05:47.560
Jump in the pool when everybody else is jumping in the pool.

00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.721
As a matter of fact, he's a contrarian.

00:05:50.230 --> 00:05:53.560
He does opposite of what the masses are doing.

00:05:54.190 --> 00:05:55.211
So he works.

00:05:56.081 --> 00:05:56.920
While he waits.

00:05:57.940 --> 00:06:00.250
It's not that he just sits on the couch and waits.

00:06:00.550 --> 00:06:01.360
He's working.

00:06:01.930 --> 00:06:02.800
He's tinkering.

00:06:03.130 --> 00:06:04.120
He studying.

00:06:05.165 --> 00:06:06.995
And he puts himself in the position.

00:06:07.595 --> 00:06:11.495
So when the position opens up, He jumps on it.

00:06:12.785 --> 00:06:14.074
And he's also willing.

00:06:15.935 --> 00:06:16.774
To walk away.

00:06:17.735 --> 00:06:18.785
He's willing to.

00:06:19.625 --> 00:06:20.524
Let it happen.

00:06:21.185 --> 00:06:22.235
Let it come to him.

00:06:23.225 --> 00:06:24.935
And that's what I want to stress to you, man.

00:06:25.685 --> 00:06:27.394
There are some things in life.

00:06:28.264 --> 00:06:30.185
That you just got to let come to you.

00:06:31.295 --> 00:06:35.045
But you don't let it come to you by just sitting there doing nothing.

00:06:35.824 --> 00:06:36.875
Reading the next book.

00:06:36.904 --> 00:06:37.384
No.

00:06:39.545 --> 00:06:41.735
You analyze, you keep studying.

00:06:43.084 --> 00:06:45.634
You act, you put yourself in position.

00:06:47.704 --> 00:06:48.514
And you keep watching.

00:06:50.225 --> 00:06:55.125
So when that situation opens up, You jump all over.

00:06:55.365 --> 00:06:56.535
It's micro effort.

00:06:57.401 --> 00:06:58.290
Macro patience.

00:06:59.261 --> 00:07:01.271
You do what you can do today.

00:07:01.331 --> 00:07:03.610
Lay the brick, do what you can do today.

00:07:04.300 --> 00:07:05.261
With maximum.

00:07:05.591 --> 00:07:06.281
Efficiencies.

00:07:06.430 --> 00:07:07.151
Here's the thing.

00:07:09.218 --> 00:07:10.958
That I've been working on.

00:07:12.127 --> 00:07:16.028
Uh, because I've just been like, Bundled up frustrated.

00:07:17.767 --> 00:07:18.398
Is.

00:07:19.507 --> 00:07:20.588
Being efficient.

00:07:21.788 --> 00:07:23.168
In the time that I have.

00:07:23.918 --> 00:07:29.877
I could look at the time and say, it's working against me, or I could say, what are the minimal things that bring me.

00:07:30.567 --> 00:07:32.187
Maximum efficiency.

00:07:33.387 --> 00:07:34.168
That bear.

00:07:35.398 --> 00:07:36.747
Exponential results.

00:07:37.348 --> 00:07:38.067
That's what I'm.

00:07:38.968 --> 00:07:40.468
That's what I'm focused on every day.

00:07:40.677 --> 00:07:42.358
And every day, bro.

00:07:43.108 --> 00:07:44.067
I can't tell you.

00:07:44.817 --> 00:07:46.168
How much more efficient.

00:07:47.548 --> 00:07:48.237
My life.

00:07:50.038 --> 00:07:53.668
Has become because I'm in the creation business.

00:07:53.668 --> 00:07:55.408
I'm not trying to compete with the next man.

00:07:55.767 --> 00:07:57.418
Get out of that competitive realm.

00:07:58.137 --> 00:07:59.817
And just create.

00:08:02.067 --> 00:08:04.048
The maximum of efficiencies.

00:08:04.708 --> 00:08:06.838
Put yourself in the best possible position.

00:08:07.317 --> 00:08:08.937
You don't have to work long and hard.

00:08:10.338 --> 00:08:11.358
You have to work.

00:08:12.017 --> 00:08:12.737
Hard.

00:08:13.247 --> 00:08:14.987
About being efficient.

00:08:16.577 --> 00:08:19.158
And the efficiencies is what's going to create.

00:08:19.608 --> 00:08:20.327
The results.

00:08:20.867 --> 00:08:22.697
Work in 25 hours a day.

00:08:23.927 --> 00:08:24.947
Nine days a week.

00:08:25.668 --> 00:08:27.197
It's not going to make you a success.

00:08:28.218 --> 00:08:29.627
You're going to die and leave it behind.

00:08:30.737 --> 00:08:32.357
And the wife that you leave it behind to.

00:08:32.988 --> 00:08:34.128
She's going to use that.

00:08:34.817 --> 00:08:37.908
To buy a new man that's 15 years younger.

00:08:38.418 --> 00:08:40.368
They've ravages her in the bedroom.

00:08:41.628 --> 00:08:43.368
Because you were too fucking tired.

00:08:44.207 --> 00:08:45.288
To bring the thunder.

00:08:47.447 --> 00:08:48.408
Don't do that, man.

00:08:49.518 --> 00:08:50.807
Maximum efficiencies.

00:08:51.347 --> 00:08:52.607
I'm not about to work hard.

00:08:52.607 --> 00:08:54.107
People tell me that all the time don't work hard.

00:08:54.107 --> 00:08:54.677
I said, shit.

00:08:54.677 --> 00:08:55.427
No, I'm not.

00:08:55.528 --> 00:08:56.107
that ain't gonna happen.

00:08:56.658 --> 00:08:57.378
I don't work hard.

00:08:57.947 --> 00:08:58.758
I work efficient.

00:09:00.684 --> 00:09:02.095
So you gotta be patient.

00:09:03.355 --> 00:09:04.585
And you got to work while you wait.

00:09:05.394 --> 00:09:06.835
You let the results come to you.

00:09:07.914 --> 00:09:09.695
because better is gooder than good.

00:09:10.315 --> 00:09:11.514
What you want right now is good.

00:09:12.355 --> 00:09:13.315
But there's better.

00:09:13.825 --> 00:09:15.065
And then there's even best.

00:09:16.375 --> 00:09:17.184
Right behind that.

00:09:17.695 --> 00:09:18.684
But you gotta be patient.

00:09:20.335 --> 00:09:22.375
And you got to realize that you didn't miss out.

00:09:23.605 --> 00:09:24.174
She's not.

00:09:24.745 --> 00:09:25.674
Quite ready yet.

00:09:27.294 --> 00:09:28.284
And the ready.

00:09:28.825 --> 00:09:32.485
What you think that you want, there's something better for you.

00:09:33.654 --> 00:09:34.825
And that's what God is telling you.

00:09:34.855 --> 00:09:36.414
That's what the universe is telling you.

00:09:36.414 --> 00:09:37.554
There's something better, man.

00:09:38.215 --> 00:09:39.924
But you won't get better.

00:09:41.725 --> 00:09:46.465
If you're not grateful, if you're not appreciative, if you don't look at it , from a creative.

00:09:48.205 --> 00:09:53.304
Standpoint curious standpoint, instead of the cynical competitive I've lost my chance.

00:09:53.335 --> 00:09:53.575
No.

00:09:54.595 --> 00:09:55.164
Hm.

00:09:55.884 --> 00:09:57.534
You let the results be what they're going to be.

00:09:58.585 --> 00:09:59.754
You take that result.

00:10:00.294 --> 00:10:01.315
You break it down.

00:10:02.095 --> 00:10:03.174
You analyze it.

00:10:03.684 --> 00:10:05.934
You put no negative narrative to it.

00:10:06.804 --> 00:10:07.975
Turn to the crowd.

00:10:08.544 --> 00:10:09.865
Don't beat yourself up.

00:10:11.065 --> 00:10:11.904
Push yourself.

00:10:12.054 --> 00:10:15.445
Talk a less shit to yourself, but don't talk shit about yourself.

00:10:15.735 --> 00:10:17.315
There's a big difference.

00:10:18.894 --> 00:10:20.274
So no negative narrative.

00:10:20.664 --> 00:10:21.595
You break it down.

00:10:22.465 --> 00:10:24.504
Put yourself in the best possible position.

00:10:26.004 --> 00:10:26.725
Counter it.

00:10:27.235 --> 00:10:28.825
Re counter it one more.

00:10:29.485 --> 00:10:32.455
And whatever the results are or what the results are.

00:10:33.294 --> 00:10:35.544
When that success is going to come.

00:10:36.144 --> 00:10:36.985
You let it happen.

00:10:37.044 --> 00:10:38.065
You let it come to you.

00:10:38.095 --> 00:10:38.784
Come home, baby.

00:10:39.205 --> 00:10:39.774
I'm ready.

00:10:40.075 --> 00:10:40.674
I'm ready.

00:10:41.184 --> 00:10:43.075
You just show yourself approved.

00:10:43.345 --> 00:10:44.394
You just be ready.

00:10:45.715 --> 00:10:49.674
So you break it down, whatever the results are, you break it down, you analyze it.

00:10:50.304 --> 00:10:52.044
You make the necessary adjustments.

00:10:52.345 --> 00:10:53.544
You shut the fuck up.

00:10:53.995 --> 00:10:56.215
And stop putting this negative narrative to it.

00:10:58.134 --> 00:10:58.674
Let me go back in.

00:10:59.125 --> 00:11:03.745
Again, Chance favors the bold baby got to be bold.

00:11:04.134 --> 00:11:05.154
But not reckless.

00:11:05.605 --> 00:11:06.445
Not careless.

00:11:06.715 --> 00:11:07.195
All right.

00:11:07.945 --> 00:11:08.455
Let's get it.

00:11:08.534 --> 00:11:09.195
Keep it simple.

00:11:09.225 --> 00:11:09.855
Keep it moving.

00:11:09.855 --> 00:11:10.575
Never settle.

00:11:11.054 --> 00:11:11.774
Stay tough.

00:11:11.875 --> 00:11:12.294
Peace.
