Here is my positive take on this Sunday morning's take on thoughts of the world and what is happening today as of yet. Hi everybody. It's Sunday, May 15, and today I decided to do something a little bit different, even though every day we do our Spanish, we're gonna talk about motivation And how to succeed, and the principles that I have followed for the last 40 years of my life and has carried me through the darkest times and the richest times of my life. I've often told people that you have to pretend that you're floating down a turbulent river where the banks oftentimes are far apart and you're on your tom sawyer raft with no hutch next to you or huck next to you and you're on your own. You float down the river and you deal with turbulent daytimes every step of the way, every inch, every hour, every minute. And then lo and behold, you look down the road and you see somebody swimming. So you put them up on the raft and lo and behold its huck, You get on the river raft, you float down the river and you two have a great time and then all of a sudden you see an obstacle in the road. So you both challenge it together and you test the path of friendship as you move down that path, you go to a different stumbling block, and then before you know it, you see more people cheering you on because they see you going on that turbulent rap and they want to help you. So you move along, you have new people who help you, they throw you sacks of lunches that give you an opportunity and you take that opportunity without taking advantage of it or being opportunistic about the next opportunity. You enjoy it. And the people who give you also enjoy the satisfaction of helping you. You take that and you go down the road and before you know it, you come to a narrow edge and you both decide this is a stopping point. So you stop your float, you get off your raft and you enjoy the timing people that you have whiter there. But something in your heart is telling you there's a bigger path down the road. So you talk to your partner and you say, hey dude, I'm gonna move on. It's time for me to go. So you jump on the bar and he says farewell, and he decides to stay. The people all cry and you leave, you float down. The river becomes turbulent again. You find yourself in the same spot you were before and you start asking yourself, what am I doing, Why did I decide to move on when I had such a comfortable life where I was. So you contemplate sitting alone on your raft, You could have just been well been in a prison cell, you could have been very well in the throngs of a kidnapper who has tied you down and put you in their basement, You could have been in the bunkers of a war that you didn't want to fight, You can be in the middle of a meeting in which you know, everybody is wrong for working selfish reasons and you're sitting there alone saying to yourself, what am I doing? This is the important juncture of the road that we all have to come to and we have to use our instincts to decide what to do next. We have to validate those instincts and decide if your instincts are emotional, are ego-driven? Are they money-driven? Are they family-driven? Are the others driven? And you have to decide all of those things before you make your decision? And because when you put all that input, you may decide because of family reasons, you're not going to go there, but because it's your financial reasons, you can't go there or you're gonna have to decide is because your conviction and what you believe and what you know to be true gives you the opportunity that you feel is out there, so you have to speak up and you tell that group you're wrong, sorry guys, you're absolutely wrong that day will be the day that you become a leader. That doesn't mean every loudmouth person is a leader because often times people will say things out of their breath to show visibility and try to be important. That doesn't make you a leader. Hitler used preposterous statements to maneuver and manipulate doubt in people's minds, but because he controlled the media and the controlled every people around him because he surrounded himself around people who would do what he said because of this. He was able to manipulate and kill at Well now remember his killing was justified. So remember when you have lawmakers making laws, they are justifying their actions or the actions they feel the people around them should subculture into. So they take the goodwill of the people and they modify it for their interest and their interest is always in the hole. But what if that isn't true? What if their perception of the whole is like you sitting in a room with 20 people who are all saying the wrong thing in unison? But you know what they're saying is wrong? How do you know that the three principles that you're living by your instincts, your validation of those instincts and the openness of your mind, of those instincts to challenge yourself and allow others to challenge you are always right. Is there not? As we get new information, we ...
