1
That's it.
2
It's unbelief.
3
Not just belief in God, but I think it's in short supply and I think more of us need it.
4
And if we don't have more of it, doubt's going to win.
5
If doubt wins, we're all going to lose.
6
And we've got stuff out there to believe in.
7
I think people are looking for it.
8
I know I am.
9
I don't want it because I can get it.
10
Hang on a minute.
11
What is it that I really want?
12
What is it that I really would like?
13
I want to be scared of the role
14
that I'm going to take on because I'm not sure where it's going to go, but I'm going to trust that I'll come up on the other side.
15
We have to define success for ourselves, and then we have to put in the work to maintain it.
16
And there are a lot of men that I know who are looking for that definition and feel like, I've been told what it's not,
17
and now I don't know what it is.
18
Let's say someone has been kicked in the nuts a good bit by life.
19
How do you advise them to sort of become the hero of their own story again?
20
Oof.
21
Man, that's a tough one.
22
That's a great question, you know?
23
I sit here with a life where I have the luxury to project.
24
To ask myself and ask others, no, make a sacrifice today.
25
Sacrifice a plastic ring today for a gold crown tomorrow.
26
sacrifice something today for more freedom tomorrow sacrifice something today for a
27
possible healthier future for your kids i understand that's a luxurious position i'm not gonna apologize
28
that i'm in i'm in it
29
but i understand to someone in misery they're going good for
30
you man i'm trying to feed family tonight i'm not thinking past that i can't think past that
31
what he asked them to do.
32
My indirect thing I would say and understand is, well, if you don't have the hope or believe in something, you're going to end up, you're definitely going to remain where you are.
33
And if you have hope and faith in something, I'm not saying it's 100% get out of jail.
34
You're going to absolutely get out, but you got the best chance to.
35
Yeah, the book's about belief.
36
That's why I'm peddling here.
37
I need more of it.
38
I personally believe in God, but the whole thing's not for people that just believe in God.
39
Believe in trying to pursue your better self, transcendence self.
40
If you believe in the future, you believe in your kids, you believe in the past, something.
41
Don't know what that is?
42
Ask yourself what you die for.
43
Start there.
44
Everyone kind of believes in something.
45
There's an argument that even nihilists still believe in nothing.
46
Nothing's even something.
47
I've never been able to really live with, by hook or by crook, I'll get it how I can get it.
48
I'll lie, cheat, and steal to get it.
49
I got the prize, and I'm still okay.
50
I got it.
51
My own shadow chases me down in the middle of the night, and those nightmares do become my own daymares.
52
I have to...
53
I think I naturally come back.
54
And look, I hustle.
55
I'm a hustler.
56
I'm not puritanical.
57
I'm not making...
58
I'm not trying to preach an absolute straight and narrow way to go things.
59
I bullshitted my way into things and faked my way into making things.
60
pulled off stunts.
61
Why?
62
Wait a minute.
63
Now, so we're saying if success is the key,
64
success is the measurement and you can get it by lying, cheating and stealing and still be rewarded the gold medal.
65
We that's what's happening.
66
Are we are we are we ready to say that's OK?
67
Are we ready to say that's just how it is?
68
We have leaders in positions now that are saying, yeah, just win.
69
Just win, just succeed.
70
But yeah, I don't care how you get there.
71
You did it.
72
Congratulations.
73
Come to the front of the line.
74
So what are the ethics?
75
I don't know, what'd the winner do?
76
Well, but they...
77
Wait, what about rules?
78
Oh, yeah, by the way, the rules, if you follow them, you're a sucker.
79
I started to find myself going, oh, wait a minute.
80
I'm not ready to wave that white flag.
81
Are we ready to wave that white flag and go?
82
We can see that's what it is, because there's many reasons to do so.
83
And so I'm looking around at people and going, I'm not finding things people to believe in, and I'm finding it harder to believe myself.
84
But although those people might get to the front of the queue and be awarded the medal, the medal that you're awarded or the queue
85
that you get to the front of might not actually give you what you want.
86
And you start by sort of reframing success, which I think is a really important thing, especially for a young generation, especially for men, who are,
87
you know, the first to want to get to the top of the pyramid in certain pursuits in life.
88
Okay, you can get to the top of the pile, or you can get the gold medal, but be careful what that medal represents, and a medal in what.
89
Right.
90
Relevant for what?
91
We all want to be relevant.
92
Okay, like, relevant for what?
93
We want to succeed, but when we succeed, is it worth it if we don't profit?
94
Yeah, you said, yeah.
95
You know what I mean?
96
If more, we're trained to go, the quantity is the goal.
97
That's it.
98
Well, if that's sacrificing quality or value, what we actually value, what are you really winning?
99
Sometimes you can do everything right and still not get the result the result
100
that you wanted and that seems like a really tough pill to swallow for people.
101
I think that's why people become uncomfortable with fully filling their emotions.
102
So where do you go?
103
What do you think when I really, I gave it my all there, I bared myself and I still got kicked in the nuts.
104
Not only did I feel like I deserve it, I feel like I earned it and I still didn't get it.
105
Wait a minute, but you said that's the playbook and I followed the playbook.
106
You said these were the rules and the regulations.
107
I followed it.
108
And I was good at it.
109
I still didn't get it.
110
Is there something that you tried to remember about the upside of a crisis during a crisis?
111
Or do we just need to ride that out?
112
Zooming out would be so beautiful.
113
And in retrospect, if only you could give yourself the gift of distance, of time.
114
and yet you know something hard is going to come again and you're going to be swept away by the wave.
115
I mean, for me, it's an obvious dance of the both because you can't jump to the objective right away and go,
116
Inshallah, oh, fate'll have it, this too shall pass, I'm fine.
117
No, because then you don't deal with the crisis.
118
I do have a pretty quick threshold for being able to laugh,
119
like honestly start giggling when I'm in the shit Because I found that I'm able to handle the shit better, if I just start, the quicker I start going, are you kidding me?
120
I'll get objective and remind myself things like, you gonna die, McConaughey?
121
Which gives me that, ah, so this is not as big of a deal as I thought.
122
If you're gonna do it, do it.
123
Say what you can do, do what you say.
124
If you can't do it, don't say you can do it.
125
Don't over leverage yourself.
126
Don't over leverage the decision and then jump in and kind of dip a toe.
127
I think I'll try it out.
128
Now think if you're gonna try it out beforehand but when it's time to go, dive.
129
Finish it, find out.
130
Come out the other side.
131
Don't leave it and go, if I just go to, uh-uh.
132
That keeps me up at night.
133
I think it keeps a lot of us up at night.
134
When you half-ass something and you just don't know, whether you failed or succeeded, got what you want or didn't get what you want, Finding out and looking in the mirror and going,
135
I didn't half-hast it, I went all the way, I found out and that ain't for me.
136
Or I found out and you damn right that is for me.
137
That's a great place to get to.
138
I think part of the challenges in life is a lot of us are running around half-assing ourselves, half-fooling ourselves, not full of ourselves,
139
not studying ourselves enough, not holding ourselves to task enough, not patting our own self on the back when we do get what we want enough,
140
not cracking our own whip on our backside when we do get out of line even though we knew better.
141
I wish we were more full of ourselves that way.
142
Someone said this to me before, Matthew, you're so full of yourself.
143
And I, without thinking, I was like, well, who else am I supposed to be full of?
144
That's a good line.
145
And I stopped that and I was like, that's exactly what I meant.
146
And I wrote that down.
147
I wish more people were more full of themselves.
148
I think we should take some time to be able to look in the mirror
149
and own that thing that we pulled off and go, good job.
150
That's what you wanted, that's what you got.
151
At the same time, be able to, as we do more often, look in the mirror, when we fail, and go, ah ah, bogey, you did not want to.
152
You did not want to pull that off.
153
Give others and yourself more credit.
154
Happiness, you can't guarantee it, but there is a science to satisfaction.
155
So you can look at habits that engineered less pain in your life, maybe more pleasure, but at least less pain.
156
And that's a win.
157
So much easier to be supportive and gentle of other people than of ourselves.
158
You know, you will happily bestow this sort of gentle,
159
reassuring pat on the shoulder when somebody succeeds or falls short when they tried their best.
160
Yet, given the fact that you tried your best, you give yourself a kick on the way out of the door and a harsh word to follow you.
161
Yep.
162
Because I got myself in the pickle.
163
Because things didn't go how I wanted it to go or how I believed it could go.
164
Life's the ironic tragedy.
165
Life is pain.
166
I'm the reason that I stepped in sh, which is also an asset.
167
Even if someone goes, why are you giving yourself so much credit for screwing that up?
168
We're gonna make mistakes.
169
You gotta own them.
170
Then you gotta make amends.
171
And then you gotta move on.
172
Guilt and regret kills many a man before their time.
173
So turn the page, get off the ride.
174
You are the author of the book of your life.
175
There are habits that I notice of things I take care of in my life, health-wise, faith-wise, father-wise, husband-wise.
176
If I'm doing that consistently, there's less valleys.
177
The ironic tragedy is that life has to be lived forward but only makes sense in reverse.
178
When you look back, we can all connect every single dot.
179
It's mathematical, scientific how we got to this table right here.
180
It's all connected if we go back and look at it.
181
And there's a whole lot of, I thought that was the end.
182
Well, it was the end, but it was the beginning of this thing.
183
What you're leaning into is that mystery going forward, right?
184
That ironic tragedy, you have something to push off the, well, I don't know what I do want, but I do know I don't want that.
185
You have leverage.
186
Yes, yes.
187
You know, it's there.
188
You know, we always say, well, who are you?
189
You know, I want you to figure out who you are.
190
And we ask, I try not to ask my kids that now.
191
Well, I want you to know who you are.
192
And a part of that who's helped me is Bob Dylan's line.
193
Like, I don't know what all this talk's about who we are, man.
194
We are all just what we create ourselves to be.
195
And that gives me a little, oh, that's relaxing.
196
But it's so much easier to figure out who you're not.
197
And if you start eliminating who I'm not, by sheer mathematics, you end up...
198
Moving towards...
199
Who or of what feeds you and who you are.
200
And it's a hell of a lot easier thing to go, how can I get rid of some bullshit in my life than it is to go, well, how do I go to my true self?
201
Do I want to press the accelerator more quickly?
202
or do I want to take my foot off the f*ing brake?
203
Sometimes the hard work and the endurance and the elbow grease, the work harder we were talking about, that hustle, is not the way out.
204
Sometimes it's, I need to back up, laugh, have a sip of my favorite whatever and dance my way through the raindrops out of this sandwich.
205
And even looking at the things that are bad and going, oh, thank you.
206
Appreciate that.
207
I think one of the themes of your worldview that I've become familiar with is alchemizing bad times into good ones.
208
A reminder that things that seem bad can end up being good.
209
How can people, or how do you, have more of that perspective during a hard time?
210
I probably start off intellectualizing something that I know I probably should believe in, should believe in but don't believe in it,
211
and convince myself even to an extent to trick myself, that, you know, to sit here and go, well, you just tell yourself, this too shall pass.
212
Okay, great, well, what the hell's that mean?
213
Even if it's true, in the moment, you're like, what are you talking about, man?
214
I'm in the debit section.
215
I'm in a warning section.
216
I'm, this sucks.
217
I think that how much I'm conscious of it or not,
218
my undeniable optimism and faith that this isn't all it is.
219
And if it is, so what?
220
That's okay, well then really so what?
221
You know what I mean?
222
What's the big deal?
223
Two, it minimizes, I seem to have a tendency not to make a bigger deal out of things
224
that other people make a bigger deal of.
225
Dramas, I don't like to create false drama.
226
When it comes and it's hard, I am effective.
227
I get the blues, I get sad, I get mad, I'm a shit to be around.
228
I can't get to sleep.
229
I got demons in my own head trying to work the riddle out.
230
Why did this happen?
231
That's the other thing that's tough for me is I think that any bad thing that happens to me, my initial reaction is, what did you do wrong to lead to this?
232
Heard a quote recently that said, Every man knows reflection and introspection when he's at his lowest.
233
Bad times, you can't do anything other than wallow in retrospective assessment.
234
But one of my favorite things I've learned from you is when things are going well, given that that's presumably what you want to have more of, maybe worth deconstructing that.
235
Yes.
236
Can I try and bottle some science here to why things are going well?
237
And I did find consistency.
238
You were appreciating more.
239
You were pointing out beautiful things and not taking them for granted.
240
And so I found a list of things.
241
And when I get off track, I try to remind myself, you've been slacking on some of those.
242
I've definitely found consistencies, and I think we all have them if we just notate them along the way, that they're not by accident.
243
Let's cheers.
244
Let's have a cheers on the way for all the things that will work for when we have going right.
245
Also knowing that it's not forever, that we will have a mountain to climb here shortly.
246
What's my best advice I need to give myself right now is listen to my own damn advice.
247
You knew that there is something to be extracted from living life.
248
How did you get that frame of reference?
249
Like that's so useful, but I don't think most people have that.
250
You know, I don't know exactly where, where I got it.
251
I mean, I would say again, to call back that Australian year where I did not have a choice,
252
where I was forced into that situation and saw the green light assets from being alone and quite lonely.
253
I do think that there's great value in being alone.
254
And if we are alone and we get bored and we don't like the company, ding, may that light go off to say
255
that does not mean we need to pick up our phone to get some attention
256
or go to the bottle to ease the anxiety or go online to get some feedback to entertain ourselves.
257
No, it's actually a great time to say no. Sit here in that discomfort long enough to go, okay, until you come out the other side to go,
258
all right, I'm good with me again.
259
Now, it's part of that.
260
I write about traveling in general.
261
Ideally, you don't go to a place.
262
You don't, I always say this.
263
Don't, I don't want to leave a place I travel to until I get to the point of going, ah, I could live here.
264
This could be my existence.
265
And as soon as I get to that point, then I'm like, okay, you can go.
266
Now I can go.
267
That's the same thing in the personal journeys.
268
Stick with it till you get through the discomfort to uncomfortable times until you go, you know what?
269
I can spend time with myself.
270
I could do this.
271
I could do this forever.
272
Well, then it's okay to go re-engage, pick up your phone, go see your friends, go have a drink, what have you, go look for those things that are other relationships in life.
273
But hopefully not until there's great value in not doing that until you go, I'm good with me and me for right now.
274
Now, why do you pursue things that scare you?
275
Why seek the role that's hard?
276
Because it costs me something.
277
Because it costs.
278
It comes with a price.
279
It's a bit of that line, don't pick a fight.
280
It's not really a fight unless you can lose it.
281
It's not really, you know, it's not really a risk unless you can lose the fight.
282
I feel more alive in them.
283
I have an experience in the making of them.
284
I'm nervous every day I come to work.
285
I feel like when I nail a day and I knock it and I know I did, I feel like, yes!
286
I have a measure at the end of the day of like, you set out to do something, you prepared for it, you had intention, and you did it.
287
And maybe even found some magic in the day.
288
That, I sleep good knowing that I accomplished that day in building the architecture of a character's arc through a story.
289
And if I could put the whole thing together and it comes out, the whole one whole performance turns out to be a beautiful song, an original song of that character.
290
Then I'm like, yes.
291
And I know that I was highly responsible for that.
292
I was not solely responsible, but the most responsible for that.
293
And that gives me pleasure.
294
That gives me gratification.
295
That makes me feel, gives me significance.
296
That gives me confidence.
297
if I don't pull it off.
298
And I do have a day where I'm like, oh, no, you didn't ever.
299
And it was my fault.
300
I still, I would rather, with these kind of roles, I can look in the mirror and go, so guess who's responsible for not pulling it off?
301
You, Conaghy.
302
In the same way when I go, guess who's responsible for pulling it off?
303
I like knowing who, you.
304
And it was also, again, work that challenged the vitality of my life.
305
Dramatic roles allow the actor to have as high of a ceiling or as low of a basement.
306
from love to hate, from happiness to pain, as that particular actor wants to bring to it.
307
That's what's inherently beautiful about dramas.
308
Okay, you're the part.
309
You're playing the role.
310
How are you going to emulate that person through yourself?
311
That is a vital thing.
312
That makes me sweat.
313
That makes me sleep better at the end of the day.
314
That gives me a sense of accomplishment.
315
I'm like, yes, I did what I intended to do.
316
I prepared for it.
317
I was ready.
318
Oh, the day didn't how I thought it was going to go.
319
But I called audibles along the way and rolled and still told the truth on my man, the character.
320
That gratification feels good.
321
Unbelievable is the stupidest word in the dictionary.
322
Should never come out of our mouths.
323
Think about it.
324
To say, oh wow, what an unbelievable play.
325
It was an unbelievable book, an unbelievable film, an unbelievable act of courage.
326
really it may be spectacular it may be phenomenal most excellent
327
or outstanding but unbelievable give others
328
and yourself more credit it just happened you witnessed it you just did it believe it give your obstacles credit
329
that there's a responsibility to freedom and that there is freedom in responsibility,
330
you know, and that earn your way there.
331
We remember the stuff we earn, the stuff we experience more than what the teacher tells us or what someone gives us for free.
332
We just do, we broke a proverbial sweat on it, whether it was mental or physical or whatever, we built it, we understand we felt how we got it how we achieved
333
it how we got what we wanted those stick with us
334
whether we forget them intellectually they were written in our lineage
335
and they build resilience and they and
336
and they build a healthy true optimism going forward to know
337
that oh no i've i've worked for something before
338
and achieved it delayed gratification oh there are choices i can make make today for myself
339
that will pay me back later in life.
340
So there are choices we make.
341
If you're going to say right now, I'm going to lie, cheat, and steal to get what I want, and I got it.
342
I got an immediate green light for me.
343
That's a battery-powered green light.
344
That's not a solar-powered green light.
345
Why?
346
Because now, everywhere I go, I got to look over my shoulder to see if someone's there that I lied,
347
cheat, and stole from, and when I'm doing that, I'm stealing whose time?
348
My time.
349
Now I'm not freedom.
350
I'm not free.
351
I don't have the freedom.
352
I didn't create freedom in my future because I chose to make an irresponsible act that I left crumbs.
353
I've now got reasons to look over my shoulder.
354
And the more things we do to create in our future that we've got to look over our shoulder, the more of our most precious thing we have in our life's time that we're stealing from ourselves.
355
So it's not puritanical.
356
It's just like it's actually self-service.
357
It's a very selfish choice.
358
And I'm a fan of the word selfish.
359
I've helped redefine it.
360
But I believe that there are selfish choices we can make that are the most selfless, that there are selfless choices that we can make that are the most selfish choices.
361
Those two are not a contradiction.
362
And we see them that way.
363
Responsibility is appreciation of a past.
364
It's building of a lineage.
365
It's investing in ourselves.
366
It's investing in something we started to build yesterday that we want to take into tomorrow, there's a response that gives us freedom.
367
I'm going to talk to you about some things I've learned in my journey, most from experience, some of them I heard in passing, many of them I'm still practicing, but all of them I do believe are true.
368
Now, they may be truths to me, but don't think that that makes them mine because you cannot own the truth.
369
So please think of these as signposts, approaches, paradigms that give some science to satisfaction.
370
They're yours to steal, they're yours to share, likened to your own lives, to personally apply in your own lives in your own way, should you choose to.
371
So here we go.
372
Unbelievable is the stupidest word in the dictionary.
373
It should never come out of our mouth, think about it, to say, oh wow, what an unbelievable play.
374
It was an unbelievable book, an unbelievable film, an unbelievable act of courage.
375
Really?
376
It may be spectacular, it may be phenomenal, most excellent or outstanding, but unbelievable?
377
Give others and yourself more credit.
378
It just happened, you witnessed it, you just did it, believe it.
379
Give your obstacles credit.
380
You know, once you do find your frequency on something, go forward if you're a non-tyrant and don't ask permission.
381
And that's the not giving a damn part.
382
I've found that the world will actually acquiesce and go, yeah, I'll give you a green light on it, if you actually go forward and mean it,
383
and you're gonna do it by hook or by crook and not ask permission.
384
Life is not easy.
385
It is not.
386
Don't try to make it that way.
387
Life's not fair.
388
It never was.
389
It isn't now and it won't ever be won't ever be.
390
Do not fall into the trap, the entitlement trap of feeling like you're a victim.
391
You are not.
392
Get over it and get on with it.
393
And yes, most things are more rewarding when you break a sweat to get them.
394
Sit here in that discomfort long enough to go, okay, until you come out the other side to go, all right, I'm good with me again.
395
I don't want to leave a place I travel to until I get to the point of going, ah, I could live here.
396
This could be my existence.
397
And soon as I get to that point, then I'm like, okay, you can go.
398
Now I can go.
399
That's the same thing in the personal journeys.
400
Stick with it till you get through the discomfort to uncomfortable times until you go, you know what?
401
I can spend time with myself.
402
I could do this.
403
I could do this forever.
404
Well, then it's okay to go re-engage, pick up your phone, go see your friends, go have a drink, what have you, go look for those things that are other relationships in life.
405
But hopefully not until there's great value in and not doing that until you go, I'm good with me and me for right now.
406
So to any of us, whatever those things are, whatever it is we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to and whoever it is we're chasing, to that I say amen.
407
To that I say, all right, all right, all right.
408
And I say, just keep living, huh?
409
Thank you.
410
See, happiness is an emotional response to an outcome.
411
If I win, I will be happy.
412
If I don't, I won't.
413
It's an if-then, cause-and-effect, quid pro quo standard that we cannot sustain because we immediately raise it every time we attain it.
414
See, happiness demands a certain outcome.
415
It is result reliant.
416
And I say if happiness is what you're after then you're gonna be let down frequently
417
and you're gonna be unhappy much of your time.
418
Joy though, joy is a different thing it's something else.
419
Joy is not a choice.
420
It's not a response to some result.
421
It's a constant.
422
Joy is the feeling that we have from doing what we our fashion to do.
423
It is just as important where we are not as it is where we are.
424
Look, the first step that leads to our identity in life is usually not, I know who I am, I know who I am.
425
That's not the first step.
426
The first step is usually, I know who I am not.
427
process of elimination.
428
Defining ourselves by what we are not is the first step that leads us to really knowing who we are.
429
South of New Orleans a few years ago, I went to a voodoo shop
430
and they had this wooden partition against the wall of these columns
431
and in these columns were all these vials of these magic potions, right?
432
And the headings above each potion defining what they would give you were things like fertility,
433
health, family, legal health, energy, forgiveness, money.
434
Guess which column was empty?
435
Money.
436
Let's admit it.
437
Money is king today.
438
It's what makes the world go round.
439
It is success.
440
The more we have, the more successful we are, right?
441
Now I would argue that our cultural values have even been financialized.
442
Humility is not the vogue anymore.
443
It's too passive.
444
It's a get rich quick on the internet, richest 15 minutes of fame world that we live in, and we see it every day.
445
But we all want to succeed, right?
446
So the question that we've got to ask ourselves is what success is to us, what success is to you.
447
Is it more money?
448
That's fine.
449
I got nothing against money.
450
I don't.
451
Maybe it's a healthy family.
452
Maybe it's a happy marriage.
453
Maybe it's to help others, to be famous, to be spiritually sound, to leave the world a little bit better place than you found it.
454
Continue to ask yourself that question.
455
Now, your answer may change over time, and that's fine.
456
but do yourself this favor.
457
Whatever your answer is, don't choose anything that will jeopardize yourself.
458
Prioritize who you are, who you want to be, and don't spend time with anything that antagonizes your character.
459
Don't drink the Kool-Aid, man.
460
It tastes sweet, but you will get cavities tomorrow, all right?
461
Life is not a popularity contest.
462
Be brave, take the hill, but first answer that question, what's my hill?
463
There's a responsibility to freedom and that there is freedom in responsibility.
464
You know, and that earn your way there.
465
We remember the stuff we earn, the stuff we experience more than what the teacher tells us or what someone gives us for free.
466
We just do, we broke a proverbial sweat on it, whether it's mental or physical or whatever, we built it.
467
We understand, we felt how we got it, how we achieved it, how we got what we wanted.
468
Those stick with us.
469
Whether we forget them intellectually, they were written in our lineage and they build resilience and they build a healthy, true optimism going forward to know that,
470
oh, no, I've worked for something before and achieved it.
471
Delayed gratification.
472
Oh, there are choices I can make today for myself that will pay me back later in life.
473
So there are choices we make.
474
If you're going to say right now, I'm going to lie, cheat, and steal to get what I want, and I got it.
475
I got an immediate green light for me.
476
That's a battery-powered green light.
477
That's not a solar-powered green light.
478
Why?
479
Because now, everywhere I go, I got to look over my shoulder to see if someone's there that I lied, cheat, and stole from.
480
And when I'm doing that, I'm stealing whose time?
481
my time.
482
I'm not free.
483
I don't have the freedom.
484
I didn't create freedom in my future because I chose to make an irresponsible act that I left crumbs.
485
I've now got reasons to look over my shoulder.
486
And the more things we do to create in our future that we've got to look over our shoulder, the more of our most precious thing we have in our life's time that we're stealing from ourselves.
487
So it's not puritanical.
488
It's just like it's actually self-service.
489
It's a very selfish selfish choice.
490
And I'm a fan of the word selfish.
491
I've helped redefine it.
492
But I believe that there are selfish choices we can make that are the most selfless, that there are selfless choices that we can make that are the most selfish choices.
493
Those two are not a contradiction, and we see them that way.
494
Responsibility is appreciation of a past.
495
It's building of a lineage.
496
It's investing in ourselves.
497
It's investing in something we started to build yesterday that we want to take into tomorrow.
498
There's a response that gives us freedom.
499
So be brave, have courage, and when you do, you get stronger,
500
you get more aware, you get more respectful of yourself and that which you fear.
501
The result, which we know there isn't really one, and we cannot imitate someone else's exact result.
502
We're going to have our own way to get there.
503
The approach is all.
504
I think that's the best our life can get is one constant approach and with many different approaches, but knowing there is no result.
505
You know the story of Sisyphus?
506
A man gets cursed.
507
I think he was a demigod.
508
Gets cursed too.
509
Roll a boulder up a hill.
510
It's a heavy, heavy boulder.
511
He rolls it uphill, and just as he gets to the very top, he stumbles, and it falls down and crushes him, and he needs to walk back to the bottom.
512
Turn around, pick it back up, and Alba Camus' famous line is, we must imagine Sisyphus happy.
513
that this pointless pursuit that he finds joy in the process of doing it.
514
So I grew up only knowing sort of the courage of the persistence.
515
Be resilient, endure, get up, dust yourself off, go.
516
The problem with that, the Achilles heel with that is
517
if you get up and get the courage to keep on going every time and get up and dust yourself off, you make the same mistakes each time around
518
because you never backed up to have what I've now learned and still learning is the courage to go, no, I'm going to let some people pass me in the race right now
519
because I'm going to look at why I keep stepping in that damn same pothole and twisting my ankle, the same spot.
520
Why I keep failing when I try to get
521
that next spot in this relationship or failing in this place to get this product of my craft to the next level.
522
Would that be the relinquishing of the rom-com era in a small part for you?
523
A small part, yeah.
524
Yeah, it was definitely courageous.
525
I did honestly think I'd written myself a one-way ticket out of Hollywood.
526
People close to me, basically almost everybody besides my wife, was like, what is your major malfunction, little brother?
527
You got it made.
528
Why are you throwing a jackknife in this stuff?
529
You're tripping yourself running downhill, man.
530
You did it.
531
And I had my wife and myself to remind myself of
532
that 4 a.m clarity that I had in tears when I was like, no, I'm rolling the dice, I'm sticking with it.
533
Yeah, man, I did think I wrote myself a ticket out of Hollywood.
534
I did look at other vocations, become a teacher, a wildlife guide.
535
I seriously look at those things.
536
But over time, and it was about 20 months, it was gone long enough, had found anonymity enough, was not in your living room in a theater in a rom-com, you didn't seem on a beach shirtless.
537
Where is he?
538
Turning down the $14.5 million offer, many people go, oh shit, what's he up to?
539
You don't just step out of Hollywood unless you turn that down because you've got a plan.
540
You've got somewhere you want to go.
541
And I think that made me more attractive as a new novel idea.
542
But that was, yeah, that risk took, I think it's fair to say that took a fair amount of courage from me.
543
We often see resistance as a form of failure and something that we should endeavor to avoid.
544
You think about the avoidance of, like, people building families or even, many people consider that we're living in a bit of a comfort crisis.
545
This is slightly a different sort of analogy, but most of the diseases that we have today, whether they're diseases of, I don't know, the mind, like, you know, people feeling lonely and isolated,
546
all physical diseases, 80% of Americans getting back pain, but no one in the Hadza tribe in Africa getting back pain.
547
They're all a consequence of us continually choosing comfort, which is a short-term friend but long-term enemy.
548
And resistance, I think, is something increasingly we can choose, opt out of.
549
Oh, and we've out-convenienced ourself.
550
What's AI going to do to us?
551
Talking about convenience, how much, and I want to keep hearing studies, I wonder if you have an opinion on this,
552
How much of you coming up with an idea and then writing and rewriting it, thinking about it, no, no, no, no, it's not an expert.
553
Oh, no, this is what I really mean and how to get it done.
554
How much of that is really valuable?
555
To get it beyond just an intellectual idea, more valuable than just going, Ah, there it is.
556
Because what comes out of AI?
557
Incredibly impressive.
558
My hunch is that, yeah, we can use it for like, signposts signpost to help us.
559
Oh, that's good.
560
Thank you for helping me organize.
561
But there's a value to us going through the sweat equity of learning something.
562
But I mean, yeah, I mean through history people like Richard Fryman, the physicist, has said the best way to learn something is to learn it
563
and then to go through the pain of writing it, condensing it down to a simple truth like you do so often in your new book, Poems and Prayers, and then sharing it with the world
564
and then getting the feedback and if the world understood it like you meant it, like that poem you just shared, you understand it.
565
That's evidence that you get it.
566
Right.
567
So I think AI is going to be great for me saying something to you, but not learning something myself.
568
And I think if you want to defend creativity and innovation and the ability to think, you actually have a huge opportunity, which is to go left when everyone's going right.
569
Well, now we're going into, I have that, I got that thing in there, I said, what's better?
570
Take eight big risks in life, sin once, miss the mark once, but get seven, achieve seven,
571
seven out of eight, or take a hundred risks and achieve eight of them.
572
My hunch is that if there's a God, he's saying, go for the hundred and get eight, rather than eight and get seven.
573
If you're not taking enough risk to sin or miss the mark, which is what sin means, to fail, What are you doing?
574
Don't come back with even money.
575
Come back with the safe beds, which that can become a sort of recessive Peace namaste.
576
No, it's a it's a it's almost a it's I don't think it's what the mystics meant
577
when they were like be Disattached
578
They can mean go embrace but for highs and lows and pains and pleasures understand that those outward things are not
579
the things to be attached to for your own identity.
580
It's got to be inward first.
581
Enjoy those.
582
Partake.
583
But don't become attached to those for your measure.
584
Without complacency, trust that time is on your side.
585
Yep.
586
What do you mean, though?
587
Yeah, man.
588
I'm going to get ahead or behind it.
589
And then I can get in a rush. And I haven't found...
590
Look, and I know how to hustle.
591
And let's go.
592
The clock's ticking.
593
We're all behind.
594
All hands on deck.
595
We've got to bust ass no time for pause.
596
There's no sleep, no nothing.
597
Get the caffeine out.
598
Let's go.
599
Sometimes we've got to do that.
600
But that is usually because an unforeseen circumstance has happened, that there's a crisis we've got to deal with,
601
or we've procrastinated and put myself in that position where we've got to cram.
602
But it's not those two circumstances.
603
We've got to watch ourself getting ahead of time.
604
And it's on your side.
605
It's a little what I mean about the living longer and living more quality, time's on our side.
606
And we're forced to think and feel, especially today, with how fast things move, that more productivity, faster pace, more information, faster pace, it's better.
607
We're ahead of time a lot.
608
It's the John Wooden, a great basketball coach for UCLA, be quick, but don't be in a hurry.
609
That was his note to his basketball players.
610
Be quick, but don't be in a hurry.
611
You will miss things.
612
You know, it's the Lego set, man.
613
And you sit there and you get in a rush, you don't read the directions, you get to the end, and you've got 12 pieces left, and you're like, shit.
614
Because you got in a hurry, you got ahead of time.
615
Instead of just that feeling of, I've checked out what I need to do, and it's all adding up, and this thing's built right, and the foundation's right, and boom, there's the last piece, it fits.
616
Voila.
617
It was with time.
618
Time's on our side.
619
It's not an enemy.
620
The end, death is not the enemy.
621
I do believe that part of, you know, not in a rush to get there, and we want to stave it off sometimes, and that can be a screaming fight,
622
and partially denial can help us get there.
623
I understand that, but still, it's on our side.
624
It's going to happen, and since it's going to happen, and that's non-negotiable, might as well go,
625
well, I'm not going to rush to try and make more of it than there is.
626
I want to try and spend the time I got as well as I can produce, succeed, achieve, whatever those things are,
627
but also at a pace that I'm me, that I like to dance to.
628
I like the give and the take.
629
I like the reverb.
630
I like the cause and effect of how things are happening at this pace.
631
I can start now.
632
That doesn't mean time's on my side.
633
Yeah, dude.
634
Inshallah.
635
When it happens, it'll happen.
636
No. Wake up.
637
The clock's ticking.
638
It's on your side.
639
Now just move with it.
640
Dance with it.
641
Put some soul with the facts.
