Stop taking life so seriously. No one is
00:00:02
getting out of this game alive. And in
00:00:03
three generations, no one will even
00:00:05
remember your name. And if that doesn't
00:00:07
give you liberation to just drop your
00:00:09
[ __ ] problems for a moment and find
00:00:12
some joy, I don't know what will.
00:00:14
Because there'll never be a time when
00:00:14
there's no problems in life. And that's
00:00:16
why this time in between Christmas and
00:00:17
New Year is a really wonderful time to
00:00:18
plan big dreams and goals for the year.
00:00:20
So the single best question to work out
00:00:22
what you should be doing next year, what
00:00:24
would have to happen by [music] the end
00:00:25
of 2026 for me to look back and consider
00:00:27
it a success? And it usually comes down
00:00:29
to only a few things. The first one is
00:00:31
in order to pick something up, you have
00:00:32
to put something down. So like could you
00:00:34
probably lose 20 pounds and get a
00:00:36
boyfriend. You can't do that and move
00:00:38
cities and start a new business. So make
00:00:40
the assumption I can do no more than I'm
00:00:42
doing now. Second thing, if your life
00:00:44
was a movie and the audience were
00:00:45
watching, what would they be screaming
00:00:47
at the screen telling you to do with
00:00:48
your life? It is obvious. Leave the
00:00:51
relationship. The job is not working for
00:00:53
you. The killer's hiding in the
00:00:54
cupboard. Because if you're not careful
00:00:56
with how you design what it is that you
00:00:58
chase after, you can spend your entire
00:01:00
life [music] realizing that you climbed
00:01:01
a huge [ __ ] ladder that was leaning
00:01:03
up against the wrong wall.
00:01:04
>> And is there anything else?
00:01:06
>> So, one of the biggest lessons I've
00:01:07
taken away from this year is suppression
00:01:09
isn't the same thing as strength. Like,
00:01:11
I've been at some of my lowest points
00:01:13
over the last 12 months. It felt like my
00:01:15
better self was slipping through my
00:01:17
fingers. I realized my emotions are
00:01:20
legitimate and denying myself that is
00:01:24
not helping anything at all.
00:01:26
>> What happened?
