TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

This is amazing media production. Listen up. Some of the people in my life were the best intentions and the biggest and brightest of ideas. They never accomplished what they could have.

Now it's not the case for all. But like I've said to some friends who find themselves in this position, you're too slow to move. Now that doesn't mean that you have to be hasty and rush through things and not think it through and not plan it, just wing it. What it means is that you have to be willing to push yourself to action sooner rather than later.

I pride myself on taking action and taking action has taught me how to pivot in some instances. Many times when you pivot, it's because it no longer feels good or things maybe aren't working out as you expect it. But that's okay. The best don't get it right from the start.

They start in order to get it right. In a winner knows loss. A winner also knows struggle. That struggle is like a rite of passage.

With that being said, stop trying to skip it. Stop trying to skip the struggle. We all want to avoid struggling. I know.

We're all trying to skip it. However, most success stories, they involve points of adversity, of difficulty, of mishaps. You rarely hear someone saying when they're talking about their story, that their journey was an easy ride. You rarely hear them saying that they would love to do it all over again because it was just that easy.

Here's a thought. Maybe the quicker you embrace the struggle and work through it, the quicker you'll come out on the other side, living in your absolute greatness. The struggle just may be the necessary stepping stone you need. Thank you so much for spending time with me today.

Go out there, embrace the struggle, let it happen where it will. Don't look for the struggle, but embrace it if it's happening. That just means you're one step closer to the greatness you desire, to being an expert and to being fulfilled by what you do. As always, I am sending you big love, big hugs, and cheering you on from the sidelines.

Be well.

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (Full Audiobook) Robert Greene Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in t Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology. Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.
