In your journey of success you might lose focus once in a while whenever that happens watch motivational videos to get back on track.
SUCCEED! | Motivational Speech
Transcripts of the Video:
you have to be the hero of your own
00:04
story and you can do that 90% of is just
00:12
showing up get there and start working
00:14
like you’re not going to feel perfect
00:16
every day
00:25
got to be those days you push through
00:27
and there they’re probably going to be
00:29
more numerous than the days you don’t
00:31
and so the benefit of discipline in my
00:35
eyes has always been that through
00:37
discipline I get things done write down
00:42
everything you want to do this is what I
00:46
want you to do write down what you would
00:49
like to fix about your life and then
00:51
just if you’re 30 pounds overweight you
00:53
want to lose 30 pounds do it the right
00:54
way
00:54
go start eating vegetables monitor your
00:56
calories write down what you eat
00:58
exercise every day force yourself to do
01:01
it the brain is the general the troops
01:05
of the body and you get up and you do it
01:07
and then you get to write it down our
01:10
bodies for whatever reason most people
01:14
their associations are to avoid anything
01:17
that’s uncomfortable
01:18
[Music]
01:25
it’s so illogical because when you look
01:28
at comfort and you look at success and
01:31
progress and eventual the feelings of
01:34
accomplishment and of getting past
01:37
certain hurdles and in terms of like how
01:40
you feel about life a lot of those are
01:42
connected to discomfort like discomfort
01:44
is your friend it really hit a
01:47
discomfort and not being happy and
01:52
content with certain situations in life
01:53
or certain feelings in life one of the
01:59
big problems is sitting down and doing
02:01
the work and he labels it like an enemy
02:09
calls it resistance you know and that
02:11
you have to sit down you have to
02:12
overcome resistance and that the pro
02:14
goes to work and it doesn’t matter if
02:20
you’re sick doesn’t matter if you have
02:21
kids it doesn’t matter what you you’re a
02:23
pro and you go to work and that and that
02:26
just it puts it in your head that this
02:29
is what I do they have pride in that and
02:33
then when you are in front of that
02:34
keyboard and you’re you got you look
02:37
down the count its episodes in you and
02:40
you’re doing the work and out of that
02:42
work gems blossom and it’s about
02:46
resistance that people feel when you
02:49
know you should write or you know you
02:51
should paint or whatever you sculpt
02:53
whatever these things are you pursue and
02:55
that there’s the thing that comes up
02:57
that tries to keep you from doing that
02:59
this resistance
03:02
[Music]
03:05
you’re not a hero in your own eyes
03:07
you’re not you’re not someone who you
03:08
respect you know you’re doing what you
03:16
got to do to get by but ultimately
03:18
you’re not respecting yourself and I
03:20
think we all have a certain amount of
03:22
appreciation and respect for hero
03:24
figures you know like we all look at
03:25
like the guy who never lies and always
03:27
does the right thing and fucking helps
03:29
everybody out and that’s the John Wayne
03:31
character you know that’s that’s the I
03:32
ultimate hero and he’s like this is a
03:38
battle he will fight for the rest of
03:40
your life but the key is to fight it not
03:42
to give in don’t give in to that
03:43
resistance to fuck just to fight that
03:45
resistance and in doing so every day you
03:47
do so you have won the battle for that
03:49
day and you will continue to fight that
03:51
battle
03:54
and when you look at your own life and
03:58
you don’t stack up you’re a thief you
04:00
stole money from your wife’s purse and
04:02
you know you don’t want to smoke
04:04
cigarettes but you fucking have to you
04:06
can’t deal with the stress and smoke you
04:08
devalue yourself you slowly start
04:10
devaluing yourself you look at yourself
04:12
you realize that if you were judging
04:14
yourself you would judge yourself on
04:15
failure so no matter who you you can’t
04:17
pretend you’re the hero of your story
04:25
you can be the hero of your own story
04:27
that woke up today you can be the hero
04:30
of your own story that at forty years of
04:32
age stopped got out of bed and said I’m
04:35
not doing this anymore
04:39
only by my instincts and only by my
04:43
morals and my ideals and my mind and I’m
04:45
going to be dead honest with myself
04:46
because I’m realizing this is not going
04:48
to last forever and I’m going to get
04:53
myself in shape but I’m going to eat
04:54
healthy and I’m going to do this because
04:55
this is this is me now
05:00
[Music]
05:07
I decide this is new
05:11
and people have to realize that you are
05:13
not your past you are not all the times
05:19
you fucked up they’re not all the times
05:21
you were drunk
05:26
that’s not yet when you you are the
05:29
person who’s learned from a great deal
05:31
of experience when you’re alone with
05:36
your thoughts you get an idea of what
05:37
your thoughts actually are you live your
05:40
life just acting constantly on the
05:42
momentum of other people’s expectations
05:43
of you wanting to be liked by these
05:48
other people you can run into a trap and
05:51
you you you set up a life that you
05:53
didn’t really want your life is
05:58
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
06:00
certainly some sort of a journey you’re
06:06
trapped in this situation where you have
06:08
a mortgage
06:09
you’ve got credit card bills you’ve got
06:10
student loans you have to pay you have a
06:12
bunch of shit going on you have to
06:13
continue to feed and all that and
06:16
especially if you have a family and you
06:18
have to feed them oh my goodness
06:19
then you’re fully locked in you can’t
06:21
take any chances whatsoever and
06:24
oftentimes people make the mistake of
06:26
getting stuck and it is just a tactical
06:30
mistake just like it would be a mistake
06:31
if you got stuck on a video game just
06:34
like it would be a mistake if you
06:35
followed a map incorrectly and you get
06:38
stuck in the woods your life is
06:45
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
06:47
certainly some sort of a journey and we
06:49
have to all be aware that when we’re
06:51
making journeys we’re not going to
06:52
always make the right steps and
06:54
sometimes you have to back up and try
06:56
again and if you’re in a position where
06:57
you can’t back up and try again you’ve
06:59
trapped yourself
07:02
is people define themselves by the past
07:05
instead of thinking about who they are
07:07
now and said they still look back at a
07:10
mistake they made and don’t just get
07:11
past that mistake grow and learn
07:13
but dwell on it think it defines them I
07:18
mean there’s definitely pitfalls in life
07:21
you’re going to run into him we all are
07:22
know you can learn and grow if you
07:24
survive somewhere along the line they
07:27
didn’t face enough of the adversity to
07:29
realize that there’s sometimes we just
07:31
got to get up and get shit done there’s
07:33
sometimes we have to fucking pull
07:34
yourself up and you have to push forward
07:37
even if you want to stay in bed having
07:41
that safety net just provided him with a
07:43
way to stay in bed kept him we have an
07:46
opportunity every time things go wrong
07:48
every time things feel terrible you have
07:51
an opportunity to learn from whatever
07:52
makes you feel terrible and never allow
07:54
it to happen again
07:55
push forward system will set out honey
08:01
pots for people to get trapped in the
08:03
system will set out the ideas of
08:05
retirement the ideas of the golden years
08:08
providing you benefits providing you a
08:10
healthy work environment why well
08:12
because they want people to work for
08:13
them you don’t want people to realize
08:15
their own dreams and escape they want to
08:18
set it up so that you stick around stick
08:20
around some sort of an unsatisfying
08:22
world it’s up to you to see that video
08:24
game problem see that issue as it comes
08:27
up on the map known I think this is a
08:28
right turn to see all the problems that
08:31
could potentially lay in front of you
08:33
and calculate your your future and then
08:36
also look around all the people that
08:37
didn’t do it and look at the misery that
08:39
they’re in and learn it you don’t want
08:40
to be like them
08:49
and most people get stuck in these
08:51
patterns or they define themselves on
08:53
the person who doesn’t follow through on
08:54
their ideas or a person who doesn’t
08:56
pursue the real interest in loves you
08:59
define yourself by that well you know I
09:01
guess what I’ve start things when I quit
09:03
no you don’t know you have started
09:05
things and you quit and it gives you a
09:09
horrible sense of regret that’s made you
09:11
define yourself by that you don’t have
09:13
to do that I look back on anything I’ve
09:16
ever done mistakes I’ve ever made a
09:18
paths that I you know what something I
09:21
put out that I didn’t quite and either I
09:23
waited three months before I released
09:24
that or maybe I should have you know
09:26
rieta that blog post a couple more times
09:28
for I put it online or things that I’ve
09:31
done have driven me crazy but yelling at
09:33
someone I didn’t have to yell at them
09:34
for whatever but the most important
09:36
thing is always for all people to
09:38
recognize that you’re not who you were a
09:40
year ago you’re not who you were five
09:42
years ago you’re not who you were last
09:43
week so you’ve got to regulate how much
09:49
you dwell on regrets of the past and
09:52
really got to be careful
10:00
it’s also directly proportionate to the
10:03
amount of hardships that people face in
10:04
life their ability to face hardships you
10:06
know and there’s a lot of folks that
10:07
live life on a cushy cloud of
10:09
marshmallows and bullshit and then one
10:11
day something goes wrong and then look
10:13
at the people that are have kind of
10:14
tipping chances navigated their way what
10:17
did they do differently
10:36
[Music]
10:51
what insight into their own mistakes are
10:54
they willing to delve into that you’re
10:56
not that you step back and because you
10:58
know I don’t still I just don’t want to
11:00
look at myself that closely but the
11:02
person who is able to look at themselves
11:04
the closest it’s going to get the more
11:05
rational results seize the day
11:09
winning isn’t everything it’s the only
11:11
thing do not wait for your ship to come
11:14
in swim out to it when the going gets
11:16
tough the tough get going you miss on
11:17
our percent of the shots you know take
11:18
if you can dream it you can do it
11:19
wherever you go go with all your heart
11:21
of man has done its best what else is
11:22
there success is going from failure to
11:23
fair without losing your enthusiam for
11:25
so you don’t succeed try try again
11:26
genius is 1% inspiration 99%
11:28
perspiration I think I can I think I can
11:30
I think I can there’s no substitute for
11:31
hard work willing is not enough we must
11:33
do live the life you imagine do or do
11:34
not there is no try
11:35
action is foundational key to all
11:37
success discouragement ferrozzo to
11:38
ensure a stepping stone success the cure
11:40
of Nazi dream let’s put your dream or
11:41
agreement all the time you don’t know
11:43
where to go and you’ll wind up somewhere
11:44
else just do it I heard those quotes
11:50
growing up all the time when I first
11:53
heard something I memorized them others
11:54
I wrote down but not one of them
11:56
motivated me for more than a day or two
11:59
it was a much less inspirational quote
12:03
that inspired me from a much less famous
12:05
person it was a doctor at UCLA he said
12:09
Steve you’ve got inoperable tumors all
12:11
over your liver
12:14
worst-case scenario you have five years
12:16
to live
12:20
and I can’t control the cards I’m dealt
12:22
just how I play the hands
12:28
if you need inspiring words don’t do it
12:39
today’s talk is not about death it’s
12:42
about life and how to live specifically
12:44
about childhood dreams and about how you
12:47
can try to achieve them
12:53
dreams will come to do if you live
12:57
properly the dreams will come
13:04
and I was dreaming always dreaming it
13:08
was an easy time the dream when you turn
13:11
on your television set and men are
13:13
landing on the moon anything is possible
13:16
and we should never lose that spirit
13:21
okay bad news I cancer I was dying but I
13:25
got more bad news you are all dying too
13:35
and what are you dying to do don’t stay
13:38
forward any further in your life without
13:40
answering that question
13:43
[Music]
13:56
but I basically just given you all the
13:59
same diagnosis I was given your time is
14:02
limited and that’s a real diagnosis so
14:04
what now
14:05
[Music]
14:16
okay like most people when they’re told
14:19
they’re dying you’re probably going
14:20
through the five stages of grief the
14:22
first stage is denial I’m not dying I’m
14:26
healthy stage 2 is anger stage 3 is
14:36
bargaining okay we’re all dying stage 4
14:41
is depression stage 5 the final stage is
14:46
acceptance
14:47
okay I’m not immortal
14:53
[Music]
14:56
and what now let me tell you what I did
14:59
when I was told I might only have five
15:00
years first of all I got a lot of advice
15:03
a lot of friends want to help
15:05
Brenda my wife told me that maybe this
15:07
this news would give me a whole new
15:09
perspective someone else told me that I
15:14
should live every day like it was my
15:15
last
15:20
so what were my childhood dreams being
15:23
international football this is one of
15:24
the childhood dreams I didn’t achieve
15:26
all right and it’s very important to
15:28
know that if you don’t achieve your
15:30
dreams you can still get a lot by trying
15:32
forth there’s an expression I love
15:33
experience is what you get when you
15:36
don’t get what you want the most
15:38
wonderfully my parents did was they let
15:40
me paint my bedroom I said one day I
15:43
want to paint stuff on the wall and they
15:44
said okay quiet a rocket ship and we
15:49
lived in a ranch so I wanted an elevator
15:51
I wasn’t sure where it would go but the
15:57
great thing is that they let me do it
15:59
and they felt that letting me express my
16:01
creativity was more important than the
16:03
pristine nature of the wall the brick
16:08
walls that are in our way are there for
16:10
a reason they are not there to keep us
16:12
out they are there to give us a way to
16:14
show how much we wanted what I kept
16:26
coming back to when I had time by myself
16:27
and no one was giving me advice was my
16:29
dreams the dreams I had put aside the
16:32
ones that I thought I had plenty of time
16:34
to reach but now that I realized I had a
16:36
finite amount of time I’d ask myself
16:37
what did I want to accomplish I’m not a
16:40
worst-case scenario value but if I
16:42
really only had five years to live what
16:44
was it that I wanted to make sure happen
16:46
for me as a comedian it was a dream I
16:49
had since I was 12 years old it was for
16:51
my comedy on The Late Show with David
16:53
Letterman so let me be clear before I
16:58
move on I was a comedian already okay I
17:01
was making a living at no day job
17:02
full-time comedian making a good living
17:04
in comedy clubs colleges corporate
17:06
events around the world that was a
17:08
pretty big feat in itself but six years
17:15
into my comedy career I kind of stopped
17:17
chasing the Letterman dream I was
17:19
waiting for it to come to me I was
17:20
waiting for some day not chasing it
17:22
anyway that’s a very important lesson
17:24
for all of us mortals here today
17:27
some day isn’t on the calendar Friday
17:31
Saturday Sunday that’s on there about
17:33
four times a month no someday but when
17:37
it comes to our dream probably the
17:39
busiest day of the week is some day
17:41
right but learning that lesson I just
17:44
tried decided that I was going to
17:45
refocus my attention back on that tree I
17:47
was going to pull out all the stops and
17:49
I gave myself a goal of getting on
17:50
Letterman within one year I was going to
17:53
make some day happen I started yelling
17:56
my dream to anyone who would listen
17:58
I started calling in every favor I was
18:00
oh I found out everyone who worked on
18:03
the show and begged them to help me get
18:05
an audition I even started asking people
18:09
at comedy clubs after they see me to
18:11
email the show and beg Dave to book me
18:20
and guess what I didn’t make my
18:26
ironically name deadline came and went
18:29
but I was so renewed about my dream and
18:32
my newfound passion for it I decided to
18:33
get myself in it
18:34
extension one more year to get on letter
18:37
didn’t happen and then another nope
18:42
sounds like bad news right well it was I
18:45
would have loved to get on the show in
18:46
that first year but something great
18:48
happened over the year those years those
18:51
three years words meant dying
18:53
they were spent living living a dream
19:00
and let me tell you there is something
19:02
if you’ve ever chased a dream you know
19:04
that it lights a fire in your heart the
19:06
whether you reach it or not it warms
19:07
everyone around you and everything
19:09
around you so I decided you know what
19:14
I’m going to keep going if that dream is
19:17
so important you can’t wait can’t wait
19:20
for some day to happen you need to make
19:22
things you need to make things go out
19:26
when the world be a better place if if
19:30
we’re all inspired if the world wasn’t
19:33
full of uninspired people I know I felt
19:36
better when I was inspired why do people
19:39
stop chasing their dreams I don’t think
19:41
people choose be uninspired
19:44
[Music]
19:58
why do you think people stop chasing
19:59
their dreams everyone wants to achieve
20:01
them why do people leave them behind
20:04
comes the tough question answer I want
20:06
to give her an honest answer not some
20:09
cliche response or motivational line so
20:12
I thought about it for a long time I
20:15
knew that cancer it motivated me to pick
20:20
my dream up again but why did I stop
20:21
chasing in the first place why does
20:22
anyone stop well when they answer came
20:25
to me was hard to swallow alone spit out
20:27
and say loud but I told him we’re all
20:30
taught that life is tough life’s a bitch
20:35
life is hard but it’s not pretty easy
20:40
right pretty easy to skate by and go
20:44
through life right we wake up everyday
20:48
most of us in the world so the roof over
20:50
our heads the big comfy bed under a bus
20:52
fridge full of food those of us in the
20:55
world especially here in America never
20:57
have to worry about starvation or
21:00
homelessness we have friends and family
21:02
that will help us out when those things
21:03
come those are the things that made life
21:04
dangerous 100 years ago now we complain
21:06
hips lie physics and beanies this isn’t
21:09
a statement on modern society this is a
21:11
statement about motivation life easy
21:15
easy to stay five
21:17
[Music]
21:26
[Music]
21:37
it’s pretty easy to grow up put your
21:40
dreams aside leave your passions behind
21:42
take a job that you read you don’t even
21:44
really mind raise some kids who will
21:46
most likely be inspired to do the exact
21:48
same thing go from point A to point B to
21:50
Point C and so you end up at point Z
21:51
where you pass away and there’s a line
21:53
of people waiting to get up and tell
21:55
everyone else who knew you what a good
21:56
life gasps nothing bad about that
21:59
nothing wrong with that but nothing
22:02
great about it nothing inspiring about
22:05
that
22:05
[Music]
22:10
easy to look at a dream as something way
22:12
off in the distance something that might
22:15
or might not be accomplished a thing an
22:17
object a goal thought that runs through
22:20
our mind every now and then a noun the
22:23
dream is also a verb
22:28
as we lived it has to be done has to be
22:31
further – has to be acted about it needs
22:33
to be chased it’s not just a idea or
22:37
results the dream encompasses every step
22:39
that it takes to get there so I’m going
22:44
to give you all Challenger figure out
22:47
the answer to that question what are you
22:49
dying to do
22:50
don’t stay forward any further in your
22:52
life without answering that question but
22:54
if you don’t know the answer don’t go to
22:56
sleep tonight
22:57
without answering that question don’t
23:00
wait till someday to answer that
23:01
question there’s nothing more important
23:04
in your life than figuring that out when
23:07
you do figure it out then when you go to
23:11
sleep
23:12
sleep like a kid again because then
23:14
you’ll be going to sleep not to dream
23:16
but with the grid and
23:21
waking up with
23:22
thank you
23:26
[Music]
23:28
I told you about my dream I didn’t reach
23:35
my I Letterman tree and by my deadline
23:37
or my extended des I nope it took me
23:41
five years ladies gentlemen please
23:45
welcome Steve Faison five years of
23:47
living five of years of living for that
23:56
dream and I was very lucky my tumors
24:00
during that time they didn’t grow
24:01
I stayed healthy but I had that wake-up
24:04
call and I’m giving you all the same
24:05
wake-up call we’re all dying but if
24:10
you’re not chasing your dream you’re
24:12
already dead
24:13
I don’t think complaining and whining
24:17
really solves the problem
24:19
this is Jackie Robinson first black
24:22
major leaguer had it in his contract not
24:24
to complain if people spit on him now I
24:30
don’t care if you’re Jackie Robinson or
24:32
if you’re a guy like me who’s only got a
24:34
couple of months to live you can choose
24:36
to take your finite time and energy and
24:38
effort and you can spend it complaining
24:40
or you can spend it playing the game
24:42
hard which is probably going to be more
24:44
helpful to you in the long run
24:46
[Music]
24:53
the top isn’t just about how to achieve
24:56
your childhood dreams it’s much broader
24:59
than that it’s about how to live your
25:01
life because if you lead your life the
25:04
right way the Karma will take care of
25:06
itself
25:12
that we all have people that we don’t
25:15
like that have done things we don’t like
25:16
and what I have found is no one is pure
25:19
evil if you wait long enough they will
25:22
show you their good side you can’t make
25:25
them do it in a hurry but you can be
25:27
patient
25:29
he said when life can no longer threaten
25:33
you with death what else is good what
25:39
else you and the majority of the fears
25:44
that we have are not life or death date
25:47
cannot those kind of
25:51
[Music]
25:56
if you want to begin to move you got to
25:59
clear your mind of all the unnecessary
26:01
luggage and baggage that’s weighing us
26:04
down
26:05
I couldn’t move I couldn’t face about
26:08
what am I going to do
26:09
to get out of this situation because I
26:11
was so concerned about what happened and
26:13
what he did to me and how bad it was I
26:17
was so stuck in that I couldn’t even
26:20
focus on what I should have done
26:22
[Music]
26:28
so what’s the worst thing that they can
26:30
do to you kill you and he just decided
26:35
hey this is what I came here to do I
26:37
know that there’s some risk involved and
26:40
I’m gonna do it come what may he said
26:44
I’m not going to be afraid of feeling
26:49
sorry for myself in angry none of that
26:51
was taking me anywhere so pretty soon I
26:54
I learned through effort made it
26:56
conscious deliver determinate but I had
26:58
to let it go I had to forgive it let it
27:01
go and begin to focus on developing
27:03
myself and I’m making you you’re going
27:05
to have people to do things to you
27:06
things are going to happen to you and
27:08
the most important thing to do is to
27:10
harness your will and let it go move so
27:13
you can grow so you can get on with your
27:15
life it doesn’t matter about what
27:18
happens to you what matters is what are
27:20
you going to do about it what are you
27:23
going to do now left this is the
27:29
instinct that says you’ve had enough
27:33
this is the instinct that says you’ve
27:36
given it your best shot
27:38
you can you can stand down you can back
27:42
off you can take a knee
27:48
this is the instinct that says you can
27:52
rest now do not listen to that instinct
27:59
do not listen that instinct is a liar
28:04
and wants to bring you down that that’s
28:08
the instinct that’s a defense mechanism
28:12
what could give you an out place two one
28:15
two
28:20
a lot of people never get to where they
28:22
want to be because they’ll never stop
28:24
complaining about where they’re at
28:26
I’m gonna say it again a lot of people
28:29
will never get to where they want to be
28:32
because they will never stop complaining
28:34
about where their end
28:41
the word complain means to remain or to
28:45
stay overnight so if you want to stay
28:47
right where you’re at
28:48
just keep complaining about it and I can
28:50
pretty much guarantee you that you’ll
28:52
still be there and they’ll tell you you
28:57
did the best you could
29:00
nuts thusly the deck the deck the deck
29:03
was stacked against you and they’ll say
29:07
it’s not yours
29:09
[Music]
29:11
and they’ll tell you it’s okay to stop
29:16
it’s okay to settle it’s okay to give up
29:24
[Music]
29:28
and that’d be a mini despite you need to
29:32
push back to smash into the ground do
29:36
not take the easy way out
29:40
do not give up based on instinct if you
29:45
are forced to stand down and retreat so
29:50
that you can build Andrea tacky Sophie
29:56
but make that decision based on logic
30:02
not on the instinct of surrender and
30:07
defeat get up go fight on my history of
30:18
being sort of on all sides of my journey
30:23
now I didn’t I didn’t have success very
30:25
early and I went from some very dark
30:28
times and you know the main one thing I
30:31
kept doing is you know inspiring myself
30:33
looking for inspiration and growing and
30:36
and it had two stops and I want to keep
30:38
doing that and I also want to inspire
30:41
others you know there are millions of me
30:44
sitting at home right now and they don’t
30:47
know it and it’s just good to be able to
30:49
get this little platform to sort of say
30:51
come on man go for it so listen man
30:54
knows yes I don’t do things for money
30:56
and I’ve been broke most of my life so
31:00
because of that I can’t sort of suddenly
31:03
go I need to do a job just to get some
31:05
cash and I mean I know that a lot of
31:07
times these people’s motivations could
31:09
really need to eat up in my position
31:11
I’ve been poor most of my life so now
31:25
I think I think my imaginations always
31:28
kept me going living
31:33
you know just imagine myself collecting
31:37
awards just imagine myself the I mean
31:39
getting big parts imagine myself working
31:41
with the greatest actors my imagination
31:44
is the one enemy like no you’re not
31:46
overthink it we just kind of like yeah
31:48
when I see myself driving that car one
31:50
day and I get that
31:54
[Music]
32:06
actually if I can see myself doing it
32:10
you can’t model doubt to sell it to some
32:12
American do or you can’t but everybody
32:15
can imagine themselves you know is that
32:18
[Music]
32:21
I mean it’s important not to give
32:25
yourself bounces which you can be quite
32:27
easy okay people talk about aiming for
32:31
the skies sometimes even aiming for the
32:33
skies is into the net just don’t give
32:38
yourself boundaries your sky and my sky
32:41
might be different you know mean but we
32:44
mustn’t touch the sky if we give
32:46
ourselves Paris I mean whatever your
32:48
style whatever your biggest screaming
32:50
I’ve already touched that you know so in
32:54
other words more sky where does this go
32:56
ahead I’d rather people thought you know
32:58
what I’m not going to restrict myself to
33:00
again I can only do this so I can only
33:02
do that oh I have to do it this way all
33:04
I have to do that way
33:15
the first step before anybody else in
33:20
the world believes it is you have to
33:21
believe it there’s no reason to have a
33:29
plan because it distracts from plan a
33:35
when I was 16 contemplated being a night
33:39
out I was in sound systems deejay and I
33:42
mean you know it was like that all this
33:44
so I always go back to do now I always
33:46
have a studio was that turntables always
33:59
been doing that a long time in animating
34:01
there was a there was a drive to be
34:04
famous to be you know that that pinnacle
34:06
to be that guy and I’m not not that what
34:10
it’s not it’s not my ambition house
34:12
isn’t that as much and I mean good work
34:14
keep working so it’s very hard for me to
34:16
sort of like suddenly be like you know
34:18
I’m lifted up by this wonderful life
34:20
that I have I love it but you know I’m
34:22
uh feeling on the ground you know so you
34:24
know it’s work it’s a job
34:32
achievement achievement is inspirational
34:35
to me you know people doing it someone
34:37
that on Monday didn’t know how to do
34:39
this by Friday can do it that is an
34:42
inspiration to me
34:45
I’m not afraid to fail I’m not afraid to
34:49
fall over make a mistake that often time
34:53
cripples people on the onset of getting
34:55
too into anything the first time I
34:57
repeat that the DJed eggs was horrible
34:59
horrible now but I’m not afraid of that
35:03
I’m not afraid of that feeling it
35:05
actually propels me works quite the
35:06
opposite
35:14
but I really loved to do it so I just
35:18
said I want to do what I love you know I
35:20
mean like I can do 18 22 hours a day
35:28
easily
35:34
[Music]
35:36
it’s definitely one of those components
35:39
to me as a human being my makeup my
35:42
genetics that allows me to actually keep
35:45
moving
35:51
a veteran being able to look at an
35:54
opportunity and go is that going to take
35:56
me further or not you know some people
35:59
don’t have that you won’t is something
36:01
you develop you know that’s why most
36:03
times out of ten any head of a company
36:05
has been doing it for a long time
36:06
because they inherently can make a
36:08
decision and the blink of an eye but you
36:11
have to learn that
36:23
the other thing that’s important I think
36:25
is to keep your head down you know keep
36:28
your head down like when I swim 25 laps
36:31
coming tuned if I look up and start
36:34
counting those laps and peak it out by
36:36
15 if I put my head down I keep working
36:39
away and work a technique work it
36:42
internal with them work it mm I hit that
36:46
for length I don’t even know what Lin
36:47
come on guarantee you I’ll look up in
36:49
about 20 and two more three more to go
36:52
and that’s a very simple device but I
36:55
think people find themselves incremental
36:57
II chicken how far they’ve gone and that
37:00
you know when you compare it to anybody
37:01
else or whatever it’s just a recipe for
37:04
disaster just keep banging on you know
37:08
[Music]
37:17
mountain climbers will probably tell you
37:19
the same thing no point in looking the
37:22
difference between climbing a hundred
37:24
feet and climbing 500 feet it’s a point
37:28
of view you won’t know you’re at the top
37:30
and you get there pal and that’s what
37:32
you need to remember
37:36
[Music]
37:54
yes gay men don’t look down
38:01
[Music]
38:03
the more I grow renown 43’s point
38:06
considering middle-aged man and Ganassi
38:10
is without a doubt the best thing that I
38:13
am I strive for health and happiness kid
38:18
you know I couldn’t any of it means
38:21
nothing if I’m not happy about it
38:31
my breakthrough was actually decided I
38:35
wanted to be an actor and go into drama
38:37
college not drama college I did a
38:39
performing arts course it changed my
38:41
life it turned my dreams into a reality
38:45
it gave me an actual tangible target to
38:48
go oh actually I could do this that was
38:51
my break room because it was a
38:52
breakthrough of my mind
38:56
[Music]
39:06
that was my biggest break from of course
39:09
they’ve been numerous breakthroughs over
39:12
my career in my life which I’m all proud
39:14
of but none so much as that realization
39:18
I want to be an actor to thrive in
39:21
whatever you do please understand your
39:24
terrain now what your target is don’t
39:26
get it be as clued up as the next man
39:30
because that’s that’s that cheap petrol
39:33
that’s your fuel to get you moving if
39:37
you don’t know where you’re going what
39:39
your targets are you’re never gonna get
39:40
there period work hard sleep this
