Speaker 0 (0s): Welcome back everybody. So nice to get to see you and hear your voice, even though I can't really see you. I'm happy to be talking to you. I hope you all had a great week so far. I hope the sun is shining. Birds are singing. I wanted to get into a, a little bit more of this alternative history. We left off with Adam and Eve and this great shifting or this great displacement of Earth's crust that caused the oceans to zip across the face of the continence district and everything in their way as the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, just pile up miles, high sweep across the continents, you racing, everything we know today, it reminds me. 

I once saw, I once saw a documentary on these Tibetan monks and they were just talking about the same lifestyle on the things they did throughout the day and how they thought about life and the things that weren't and the senior monks. They played this game where over a period of three months, they created the most elaborate puzzle, not a puzzle in that. 

It's something you put together, but it was almost like a piece of artwork where they took different color Sand or, or die or better to think of it as Sand. And they made these just incredibly intricate designs on, on a platform, the size of a quilt. That's like a thing of like a beach towel or maybe a beach quilt. 

And they made these elaborate designs all over the entirety of the quilts. And it was just a beautiful than pristine with a perfect color combinations. In some parts were higher in some parts were lower and they would bring the children once a day to see it and help. And once they finished, once they finish the actual product, everyone stood back in amazement and just in the, the cameraman showed that it was beautiful, just this beautiful tapestry of colors and shapes and beauty and hard work and sacrifice for six months. 

And then they all collectively got down and blew it off. Just blew all of the sand off, like it was nothing. And I always thought to myself, wow, what a great way to symbolize the power of the year? What a great way to symbolize the idea of how we in prison ourselves. 

Never think about that. If you think about all of these things that we make, be it mankind or yourself, there are all like sand castles right now. You can build a really cool Sand Castle however, it's just a matter of time for the tide comes up, takes it down. Sometimes you can fool yourself, like, yeah, I'm in the sand castle competition. Let me bring my hair spray, bring these special, a little cones and make a turtle. 

You know what? I'm going to make this huge Sand Castle that looks like the Trump tower, or I'm going to make a Sand cause I was at the white house, or I'm going to make a sandcastle. It's like a mummy. You ever seen those competitions? It's kind of like our life. We spend all our time making these sandcastles that we think are so important. Put in the grand scheme of things. 

It's just a matter of time before the tide comes and walks them down. I'm not saying that you shouldn't spend time building your Sand Castle of life. What I am saying is they, you should be mindful that what you're building is not going to last. And I think that will help you to put some things in perspective. Nothing Lasts not to love you have for your parents, not the trees that you've planted in the ground, not the experiences that you had when you were five, not the place where you work. 

Not that the company you started, not the car you drive, not even a love for your family. Nothing Lasts some people may think, wow, that are just kind of dark. Oh, you mean Nothing Lasts we should just run out and be crazy. And Rob banks and do you know, that's not what I'm saying it all I'm saying Nothing Lasts so you should enjoy your life. 

And when I think of a joy in my life, I think of trying to be present and trying to stay in the moment so that I can make everyone around me, better understand, like we spent so much time in our heads. We spend so much time trying to fantasize about what things we'll be like, if we could just have this other thing for the truth is if you can focus on being in the moment and you could focus on, wow, what is it that I can do right now to make this other person feel better? 

Well, What why is this other person liked this? What can I do right now to make the world a better place? And I think the answer to making the world a better place is understanding that regardless of what your position in life is, regardless if you are the Jeff Bezos or Jeff, the janitor, regardless, you're a force to be reckoned with. 

There's no reason why you can't be inspirational to everyone around you. I think about that sometimes I think to myself, you know, on, on some days I think to myself, man, I'm, I'm just, I'm just as a truck driver, I just drive around and drive this truck and looking at all of these other people who have so much more, a very few days I'd do that. But like sometimes you got down to days, right? 

And on the other days, I think to myself, how lucky I am, that I have the ability to go out and inspire like a, a 150 people a day. That's about how many stops I do. I do about a 150 stop's. So I try and not only communicate, but I try to, I try and bridge the gap between myself and the person of whom I'm seeing, especially when I see 'em on a daily basis, I would say that I know about, about 80% of the people that deliver to, I try not to notice things about them, that other people don't. 

And because I see them every day, it's easier to do. And once you do that, once you start really beginning to notice the people around you, you can provide them with a sincere compliment. You can provide them with maybe some insight into their own lines. And you can only do that by taking the time to understand that you listening to this for inspiration, you have a choice. 

You can go out and be that person that sees things differently in every one else in helping them see it, as we can be the person that falls into the trap and just wishes. They had more wishes that are just wishes, right? The truth is you all are as much of the divine spark as anyone else. 

And that, regardless of how big somebody else is, Sand Castle is, it's just a sandcastle. If you could begin thinking this way, it's really easy to start seeing the world differently. Sometimes people build such a cool Sand Castle that other people want to come and help them build it. And then all of a sudden, the guy built in the sand castle. If you want to build anymore, you start to manage another people to build it. At that point in time, I think you've lost contact with the sandcastle. 

The more possessions you have, the more possessions that you have, the more possessed I think you are. It's such a trap. It's such an easy way to fall victim to the forces. That don't matter. The more you contemplate the longterm, the more you contemplate the long-term ramifications of what could happen in your life. 

The less you live today, you'll get me wrong and it's good to have goals and you should have goals. However, it's important to remember that some goals are better than other goals, which brings me to another point, the topic of goals. If you do want to be successful, you should set goals for yourself and your family. You know, whatever it is, maybe it's traveling. 

Maybe it's just hugging your kid more, or mayb...
