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