So here I sit on an evening when I should be celebrating my 42nd birthday. But now I'm reflecting a little bit because I just learned that one of my first mentors I ever had passed away. And instead of looking back and celebrating his life, I'm sitting here right now looking back on the tragedy that was the end of his life. Here's a man that at one time had an amazing business, he had an amazing family, a huge beautiful house. Because of some poor choices, he lost it all. He lost the business, he lost the house, his family crumbled, all because of some poor choices and not taking responsibility for those choices. And tonight, it's got me in a reflective mood and it's a message I want to share with you right now. And that's this. Life is about choices, guys. And you need to start taking 100% responsibility for those choices in your life. Because the second that you start blaming other people, you start blaming other things for those decisions, it's game over. Whether it's your business, your house, your family, your friendships, it's over. So do me a favor and promise me that you're going to wake up every single day hell bent to do the right thing. You're going to wake up every single day hell bent to make the right decision. No matter how hard it might be on you in the moment, no matter what kind of position it might put you in in the moment with other people, always strive to do the right thing and make the right decisions. Because that's the only way to lead and successful life, my friends. So please, please, please do me a favor. Tomorrow, wake up and ready to make sure that you are doing the right thing in the moment every single time. And please share this video with someone who you think might be making some bad decisions in their life so we can help them get back on the right track to success. Thanks, my friends.
