I want you to know if you feel like you're in crisis, I know how horrible that feels. Trust me. You live life long enough, you're going to have some extreme stress. But what you do with that stress is what this week is about and what your life is about. Like I said the other day, guys, look, anybody can do well when things are going their way. What do you do when everything is unjust? What do you do when it's unfair? What do you do when your own control of things is taken from you? You have to get to that place where you let go of what is or what was and stop waiting for Humpty Dumpty be put back together again. Because even if you put them together, it won't be the same Humpty Dumpty. And you got to create a new. But what you really got to do is decide. I am the creator of my life. I am not the manager of my circumstances anymore. There is something I can still do. When it looks like when I think there's nothing can be done, that's when I know something can be done. I'm just trained my brain to do that.
