The content is a monologue focused on personal development and pursuing one's passions.
There's almost no dream that you could have that you can't be doing something and touching that every single day. Some activity every single day that is actually part of the dream. You know, I have a friend whose dream was to become a world class chef. And so they were going, you know, they were like saving all this money to go to culinary school and they were having like terrible jobs and they were just like, I'm gonna be a chef one day, I'll be chef one day, I'm a chef one day. And. And I hung out with this person long enough to go, hey man, I know your dream is to become a chef, but you don't even cook right now. And like, no, no, no, I'm working to save, to go to culinary school. So one day I can be a chef. I'm like, no, no, you can be a chef right now. Cook dinner tonight in an artistic, fun way. Touch the dream now. Stop delaying the dream for some outcome of perfect future and do the activities of the dream every day. For example, I had my corporate job in my 20s. I was, but I want to be a writer, you know, and I've been blessed now to have six best selling books. But when I was in my 20s, I didn't have that. And I wanted to be a New York Times bestselling author. I wanted to, you know, go out on tour, I wanted to know my readers, I wanted to write things I was passionate about. And I was waiting too long. And finally it was maybe like six years in that job. I was like, but I'm not even writing every day. My dream is to become a writer, but I'm not writing every day. What's up with that? Because that disconnect from not doing the dream to and have the dream that creates like suffering in the back of our mind because we're like, I want that, but I'm not even doing it. So first ask, are you actually doing the activities of the dream now? Because if you'll do them now, patience is easier. Because at least you're getting a taste of it now. At least you're experiencing it now. So really, look at your days, look at your week. Are you building the dream activities in now?
