00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000 zoned out on thinking about 20 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000 times that 21 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000 me being a parent and me being a dad 22 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000 and how things are 23 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000 subject to be like in a different 24 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000 atmosphere like sometimes you're 25 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000 really not 26 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000 going to feel 27 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000 like doing things 28 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000 you know but 29 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000 I'm motivated and ready 30 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000 you know 31 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000 let's talk about 32 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000 this you know being at the bottom 33 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000 has a lot of 34 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000 you know a lot of 35 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000 tricky things that can come along 36 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000 with you know the whole 37 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000 movement of 38 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000 getting from this 39 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000 place that you feel that you're in 40 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000 that is not good to a place 41 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000 that is like consistently 42 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 feeling as if it is going to be 43 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000 good but let's realize something 44 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000 you know there 45 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000 going to be some stumps and some bumps 46 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000 even as you're 47 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000 in these good places 48 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000 you know the biggest thing I see 49 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000 happening is you know 50 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000 you know once you move from 51 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000 this bottom phase 52 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000 and there's this next 53 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000 big area of opportunity 54 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 for you is going to be 55 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000 like very very 56 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000 very very strange to be in that 57 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000 position you'll find yourself 58 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000 winning a whole lot but at the same 59 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000 time you have to remember 60 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000 that mentality that you had 61 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000 when you were at the bottom 62 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000 you know what were you doing 63 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000 what were you doing then 64 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000 you know at the bottom 65 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000 like right now like what 66 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000 are you doing right now to get yourself out 67 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000 of this position that you're in now 68 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 that's the same mentality you have to have when you 69 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 get to that next level you can't 70 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000 stop you can't let up off of it 71 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000 and the biggest thing is is moving from 72 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 the bottom that's the biggest thing you need to learn how to 73 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 do is save learn how 74 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000 to save everything even if it's not 75 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000 even just the money you know the knowledge 76 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 that you gain you have to 77 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000 save those thoughts too and put those 78 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 in perspective when you get to 79 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000 that next level that you don't let 80 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000 up off that hunger you know 81 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000 you can live a little but just remember that 82 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000 you want to really start putting away 83 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 for the days that you can't work 84 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000 you know you got to think about when you get 85 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000 older you know you're not going to be able to work like 86 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000 you're working right now so the biggest 87 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 thing is you need to put away for that lifestyle 88 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000 as well you know at the same time 89 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000 it's not saying you're putting away for that lifestyle 90 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000 you know if you have kids if you have 91 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000 you know offspring those things have you know 92 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000 those things have to be taken care of as well 93 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000 you know they want to have you want them to have a nice 94 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000 life too you know but it's 95 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000 it's really it's really a big thing 96 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000 but it's not saying just you know it really comes down 97 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000 to the what 98 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000 you have to have for yourself and your 99 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 family and always 100 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000 remember that you know it's not 101 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000 ever anything is 102 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000 never promised to you just remember that 103 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000 it's never promised to you that 104 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000 everything is going to be okay and alright 105 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 all the time so but again don't 106 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000 be afraid to ask for help that's 107 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000 a big thing you know being you 108 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000 know it's nothing wrong with asking for help 109 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000 people always feel like oh I look weak 110 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 or is there something wrong if I have to 111 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000 ask for help but just remember there's never 112 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000 anything wrong with asking for help 113 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000 and lastly in my thoughts 114 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000 that you know you 115 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000 know as I consider 116 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000 this to be from the bottom one of those 117 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000 moments of being from the bottom what you 118 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000 what you see sometimes is 119 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000 not what you get so you know 120 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000 whatever you looking at you know you may see 121 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000 somebody in a position just remember 122 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000 that position just may be short term 123 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000 it may be just for that moment 124 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000 it may not be for a very long time 125 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000 nobody is promised you remember 126 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000 nobody is promised 127 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000 so your moment may not be 128 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 a shining moment like their moment 129 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000 it may not be a thing of where you're in 130 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 front of a lot of people it might 131 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 be the case of that you're in front of 132 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 just one person that one 133 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000 person might change your whole 134 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000 entire life so just remember 135 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000 you know sometimes it's not about the 136 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000 fame it's not a fame thing 137 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000 you know success remember success is not about 138 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000 fame so just remember 139 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000 there's never a thing of that 140 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000 space will be yours 141 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000 or theirs forever and 142 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 lastly with closing you know 143 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000 just remember take care of you you know 144 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000 remember take
