Full transcript
- 0:00Give me just 2 minutes of your time to
- 0:01completely transform and reshape the way
- 0:03that you see life.
- 0:04Not long ago, I recently saw this video
- 0:07that said, "You and I realize that this
- 0:09physical body is never going to exist
- 0:10ever again in the history of the
- 0:11universe, and I am the only one who gets
- 0:13to play it." Think about just how insane
- 0:15and mind-boggling that is for a second.
- 0:17Out of billions and billions of years
- 0:19and billions of years to come, you
- 0:20somehow ended up here. The chances of
- 0:24the mathematical probability of you
- 0:26literally being here are 1 in 10 to the
- 0:282.7 million. Think about how insane
- 0:32[music] that is. You are truly one of
- 0:34one, and you are truly special, and you
- 0:35are truly unique. Nobody and nothing is
- 0:38ever going to be able to replace you and
- 0:41remake you ever again. You are your own
- 0:42recollection of your own DNA, your own
- 0:44thoughts, your own memories, your own
- 0:45actions, your own brain, your own body,
- 0:47your own consciousness. Nobody is ever
- 0:49going to be able to replace you ever
- 0:51again in life. So, why do we spend so
- 0:53much time and energy taking life so
- 0:54seriously? Why do we worry so much about
- 0:56an exam that we failed last week? Why do
- 0:58we worry about a guy that we cut off on
- 1:00the highway accidentally a week ago? Why
- 1:02do we trust our our doubts more than
- 1:04ourselves when we have known ourselves
- 1:06better and longer than anybody else on
- 1:08Earth? Why do we trust the pilot to fly
- 1:10the plane when we haven't even met them?
- 1:12Imagine your 80-year-old self sitting in
- 1:14the chair looking back at your life. Do
- 1:15you think that they're going to care
- 1:16that, you know, [music] you looked a
- 1:18little bit awkward on camera, that you
- 1:19got rejected by that one girl, or what
- 1:20other people thought about you? No,
- 1:22you'd be sick to your stomach
- 1:24knowing that you spent so much time and
- 1:26energy think concerning yourself about
- 1:28what other people thought about you. So,
- 1:29stop being so scared of being disliked
- 1:31by people you don't even like yourself.
- 1:33Stop sacrificing your own happiness in
- 1:35order to receive the approval of people
- 1:37whose lives you wouldn't even want to
- 1:38live.
- 1:39You only get one shot at this
- 1:41single-player campaign. So, by the time
- 1:43the end of the game comes, make sure
- 1:45that you are happy and satisfied with
- 1:47how you played out your character in the
- 1:48end. I truly hope this video was able to
