So, for the next 24 hours, I want you to be the true you, the absolute true you, whatever the true you is. If the true you is a person that's dignified and serious, be dignified and serious for the next 24 hours. If the true you is someone who's very serious and focused and is trustworthy when they do their work, be that for the next 24 hours. But here we go, if 24 hours is too much, Do it for an hour. If an hour is too much, do it for 10 minutes. If 10 minutes is too much, do it for 60 seconds. 60 seconds, I want you to be the true you. Ready? I want you to light— okay, okay, be the true you, be the true you. Let's focus, focus, focus, focus. After 60 seconds— yes! Woo! That felt good! Ah! I'm the true me! When was the last time you were the true you for 60 seconds, okay? Here you go. After 60 seconds, do it for another 60 seconds. Ooh, that felt good. Do it for another 60 seconds. Then do it for 10 minutes. Then do it for an hour. Then do it for a day. And then do it for the rest of your life. Being just you for the rest of your life.
