You know, I sometimes question myself like, bro, you're already rich, you know what I'm saying? Like, you already live in Dubai, this beautiful lifestyle. I mean, why work this hard? Why continue working this hard? Why read so many books? Why, why sacrifice so much of fun and joy and happiness in in order to see how much I can grow, in order to work so much? And, and this is something that I learned from one of my mentors, Jim Rohn. The answer to this question is, interestingly enough, why not, right? Why not see how much you can grow? Why not see how much you can change? Why not see how many skills you can develop? Why not see the impact that you can cause on the world? Why not try to help as many people as you can? Why not? And my mentor Jim Rohn also gave me another very important question: Why not now? Don't wait. Why not now? And you can even add another question to that if you're feeling kind of like unpurposeful and demoralized and And that question can be, "Why not me?" Why not me? Why can't I do it? That's the attitude that you need to have towards life. If he can do it, I can do it. If he can read it, I can read it. If he can get it done, I can get it done. If he can understand it, I can understand it. If he can make money online, I can make money online. If he can grow businesses, I can grow businesses. That's the type of attitude you need to have in order to achieve your goals and success in life. Yeah, I was just meditating on that, just reflecting on that, and I decided to shoot this video because I was thinking like, why do I still work this hard? And like, I already have like everything I want, you know what I'm saying? Like, but then that's the answer, you know what I mean? Like, why not? Why not see how much you can develop and change and grow and impact people's lives? I mean, why not? What else is there to do in life, you know what I'm saying? Like, what else is there to to do in life? Like, do you think that I'm gonna be happy just not doing anything all day? You know those people that say, if I had a million dollars, I'd never work another day in my life? Well, that's probably why the good Lord sees to it that you don't get your million dollars, because you just stop. You know what I'm saying? Like, it doesn't make sense. You need purpose. You need something to do out of your life. And so unless Or else life gets unpurposeful, life gets unfulfilling, and you are led into a hedonistic black hole where you are just seeking pleasure. And, and that leads to all sorts of problems like alcoholism, drug addiction, and stuff like that. So yeah, man, you need to find a purpose in life, and you need to ask yourself these questions: why? Why not? Why not now? And why me? Love you.
