00:00:00
This one might be pretty short, but it's a perspective shift that I had recently that I find really helpful, and it's really motivating. So a lot of times
00:00:10
when I talk to my team, I try to encourage everybody on the team to to start creating these healthy habits, like exercising and eating healthy and that kind
00:00:19
of stuff, because everybody on my team is pretty young, and so as somebody that's 51 now i i remember kind of how it feels to be younger, and sort of like the
00:00:32
difference in how things how things are when you're younger. You know, like, for example, when I was in my 20s, I was, like, overweight, and at one
00:00:42
point I got, I got fed up with it, and decided to get in shape over a summer. And so within three months, I, I think, I lost about 50 pounds, and I put on,
00:00:56
put on muscle, and did all these things. And, you know, I didn't really even know what I was doing. This was like, I think it was like, I remember what year
00:01:07
it was, but it's probably like 1999 or maybe 2000 so, like, the internet wasn't quite as you know, there wasn't as much information. And so I just kind
00:01:19
of like, did just sort of what I thought I needed to do. I mean, obviously I stopped eating, like shit, food and and then I started working out. I was just
00:01:29
using the gym in my apartment building. And just like, three days a week, and like, I made like crazy progress in three months. Like, lost 50 pounds,
00:01:39
and like, actually got pretty in pretty good shape. So I know, I know work is more the work is more than the age difference. But like, it was considerably
00:01:53
easier in my 20s. Like, I'm not 50 pounds overweight, so it's not like I have to do that again, but if I did, it would be harder to do at my age. So and
00:02:03
I'm trying to encourage them to to create these habits now that they're young. And so for me, it's like I was thinking, you know, like the way my
00:02:16
perspective was, was like, Oh, it was so much easier when I was younger. But I was listening to this podcast. It was called this modern wisdom podcast. I don't
00:02:27
remember who he was talking to, but he said something that really stuck with me. And it was like he said something along those lines, like, it's a lot
00:02:34
easier when you're younger, like you're you put on muscle faster, like your your mind is sharper, and all these kind of things. So like, a lot of things are easier
00:02:44
to do when you're younger. You know, your energy levels are higher, so you probably would have an easier time doing a lot of things, like outside of
00:02:51
getting into shape. So that's one way to look at it. Like, if you're older and you're looking back and you're like, man, everything was so much easier
00:03:02
than but what they said was, what I hadn't really thought about it this way, was, it's never going to be easier for you than it is right now. So, like,
00:03:13
even at my age, like, I know I'm not not super old, but like, 51 is, you know, it's up there, but it's still never going to be easier than it is right now. And
00:03:24
so when I'm 61 I'll probably look back on the version of me that I am now and think like, oh man, it was so much easier to do this, this and that when I'm 81
00:03:35
or if I live that long, or if I live to like 85 or 90 or something, I'm sure my mind won't be as sharp. I definitely won't be able to put on muscle
00:03:45
as fast as I can now I probably, you know, I won't have the time to do these business moves and all this kind of shit. So, like everything in my life that I
00:03:56
want to do, if I want to get in better shape, I want to build this business and I want to do all these kind of things, it's never going to be easier than it
00:04:03
is right now. Sure, it may have been easier, you know, when I was younger, to do certain things, but that doesn't change the fact that it's never going
00:04:12
to be easier than it is right now. So I'm finding it really motivating. And so whether you're my age or you're younger, and you're listening to this it
00:04:21
applies. So, like, if you're in your 20s, it's never going to be easier than it is right now to do a lot of things that you want to do. So I find it motivating
00:04:32
to just start right now whatever it is that you want to do. I mean, obviously if you're like 17, it's going to be easier to get, like a business loan a
00:04:41
little later down the line. But you know most things, you know it's not going to be any easier than it is right now, so you might as well capitalize on
00:04:52
that. Wherever it is that you are in life, capitalize on the fact that right now is the best time to do whatever. It is that you want to do. So hope that
00:05:04
helps. I know that was short, but I don't really want to ramble about a subject that I think is pretty clear anyway. I will see you next time. Thanks
00:05:12
for tuning in.
00:05:21
All right, appreciate each and every one of you guys who are supporting the cause and continue to spread the love and yeah, stay up.
