Let me tell you something in this floating or on this floating rock of ours, you can't afford to spend your time trying to get other people to believe in you.
You can't afford it.
Extra time, i'm telling you, you can't afford it.
Around 15 years ago maybe 16 years ago, i don't know i decided that i was going to die at the age of 99.
Yes, and i was very sure of it.
So what did i do?
I went outside And I told the wind yeah, do I sound crazy?
I know, but stay with me.
I told the wind.
And I told the sun that I'm gonna die at the age of 99.
I told everything that had ears.
I told the trees.
I said, listen, I think this is a good age to go.
100 is a bit too much.
I'm not that greedy.
I'm a bit greedy, but not that greedy to want to live to 100.
So I told everything that had breath in it.
I sent this up to the skies and then I went to sleep.
And then I had a dream.
I did have a dream.
Honestly, a lot of things happened in that dream.
So I'm not going to get into it.
But It ended with a confirmation.
And I woke up and I felt so renewed and so alive.
And I went to the kitchen that day because I was working with my mom in the kitchen.
As I was cleaning this thing, I turned to my mom and I said, I'm going to die at the age of 99.
And you know, my mother said to me, my mother said to me, oh, okay, that's fine.
Is that what you agreed?
She said, is that what you agreed?
This is very specific language.
And you know what?
Maybe I don't die at the age of 99.
Just maybe I don't.
But I'm going to live my life with that force and that assurance, that surety that I will.
I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow morning, but I know that I will die one day.
And I picked a number.
Why not?
Who is going to stop me?
I say crossed instead of crossed.
I say clothes instead of clothes.
I say yikes instead of yikes.
Why not?
This is my life.
This is your life.
Who says we can't?
There's rules to language.
They've made it up.
It works.
People get it.
But then I can add the spice in my life.
I made a video, I don't know, months ago.
This was one of my earlier videos.
And somebody was in my comments arguing with me.
Oh my God, you can't control anything in your life.
At the end of the day, we are really all.
We're all.
What was it on about products?
That's the word products.
We're all.
Products of all the things, all the wirings of our environment.
So, at the end of the day, you really don't have control over anything because your subconscious is doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
And he was citing science and all, and i said to him you know, that's a great talking point.
Start your own youtube channel.
This is my turf on my turf.
No, you can go ahead and believe that you're a product of everything that's happened to you.
Not me, not me.
Be delusional.
Do you know what I have that I know a lot of people don't have?
I've mastered in this mind of mine, kicking reality to the curb.
Listen, listen.
Oh, my slippers has fallen.
You don't get it.
You don't get it.
Nobody does failure like me.
My childhood was a failure.
Look at me.
Do you know I have the level of confidence?
I have the level of self-assurance.
I have the level of self-knowing, self-knowledge and self-assurance, containment and self relationship of somebody who has been poured into and loved and kept and given so much.
I did that shit myself.
Do you think I don't have fears?
That's a lie.
I have so many fears.
I'm afraid all the time.
But what I see fear as is a friend.
I see fear as feel.
I take fear on.
And I say, come with me.
Let's go do the thing together.
I know my dreams.
I know my fears.
Who else is going to champion me the way I do me?
Nobody.
So how can you... I'm fired up.
But I just wanted to say to you...
You don't get to, you don't get to sit around and hope that somebody will believe in you.
Oh, I don't know.
I doubt myself so much.
That's why I don't really do anything.
I have all these ideas.
I have all these goals, but I worry what people will think about me.
Are you crazy?
Are you crazy?
We live in a world where people think beautiful people are ugly.
We live in a world where beauty has collapsed into this one monoton thing everybody looks the same and that is beautiful.
We used to be diverse.
You know, you could turn on your tv and see all sorts of people and i'm not talking about race, that's a different conversation but i mean you know features.
People looked Normal.
They could be your brother and your uncle and your sister.
Now everyone looks the same.
Everything is distorted.
In a distorted world like this, you can't be waiting for people to push you forward.
You can't be waiting for people to look at you and believe in what you're capable of.
In a world where if you really dig it and if you really deep it, meritocracy is a fallacy.
In that world, why the hell will I be subject to reality?
No, I refuse to.
In a world where systems are literally erected to keep me small, to keep me believing that I'm not good enough, to keep me believing that I'm not worthy, to keep me believing that I'm not worth it, to keep me believing that I'm not talented, to keep me believing that I can't do enough.
In that world, I refuse to be subjected to reality.
I choose to ignore it.
Call me crazy.
But that craziness has gotten me so far, you know?
I have a dream.
I have a dream, a lot of dreams, and I'm determined.
And this is my skill.
I have a really incredible brain, I do.
I have a heart that is beautiful, I do.
I have eyes that see, I do.
None of these things are my major skill.
My biggest skill in this life is failure.
I have never met anybody, and I mean this, I have never met anybody that does failure like me.
I get along with failure, because the thing about failing is that when you fail and you look at failure from a positive lens, next time you fail, you fail better.
So it's like failure is almost a way to learn the dance It's a way to learn the dance.
It's a way to learn the dance.
That's what failure becomes.
It's like, ah, last time I fell this way.
This time, perhaps I fall this way.
Next time, maybe this way.
It's the dance.
I'm telling you, you have to make this shit up.
Be delusional.
Be delusional about your life, about your goals, about your dreams, about your death.
Do you really think, oh, if I work hard enough, then I'll get there?
Is that the way the world works?
I think not.
So yeah, I'm going to make my own rules.
I'm going to play outside the fucking box.
The box was never made for me.
There's nothing in the box for me.
Nothing.
Nothing in the box for me.
Nothing in the box for you.
And yet you sit here and you're waiting for this same system that doesn't like you to validate you.
Wake up.
I want you to wake up.
Ooh, child.
I want you to wake up.
Wake up, wake up, wake up and see, see the sun.
Ignore reality where you can do.
Ignore all the stories that have been told about what is possible.
Ignore all the systems not made for you.
Ignore.
Ignore all the lies that have been told about who you can be.
Ignore.
Ignore, ignore, ignore.
Ignore, ignore, ignore.
I feel a bit emotional.
I do.
But then I cry a lot, so that's okay.
I look at my life and I know that everything I've done so far has been a product of delusional self belief.
I genuinely leave my house believing that the waters, the sun, the buildings, the cars, the trees, Even people who don't know me, whether they like it or not, are on my side.
So when shit happens, because shit will happen.
Do you know what I mean?
When shit happens, I'm thinking, so what is the role this person has played in the story of mine?
And how can he benefit me?
Okay.
I look at my childhood and it hurts sometimes.
It really does.
Then, because my skill is failure, how do I feel forward from that?
You can't afford to sit around and wait for reality to validate you.
Create your own. live in it, move in it, and invite us into it.
And we'll come.
We'll come.
We'll come along, okay?
We will come along.
A lot of times, you're watching people.
You're drawn into who they are.
You're moved by who they are.
You see them.
You watch them.
You don't realize what is happening.
You're literally being pulled into a reality they've created.
And it's their world.
And in that moment, you're in it.
This, this is my reality in this moment.
I'm creating more of it.
And I wanted to share with you, please be excited about your life.
Please be wild about your life.
Please be crazy about who you are and who you want to be.
Why not?
Who wrote these rules?
And why must I abide by them?
No.
I don't want to.
I don't want to.
These rules don't favor me.
They don't favor you.
Why?
Why should I live within them?
No.
No.
I say no.
I just realized, like, this actually gives me, like, this fluid motion.
It does.
It's like, hoo-yah, hoo-yah, hoo-yah.
It's really nice, isn't it?
I haven't eaten today.
I'm quite hungry.
Is this whole conversation a child of hunger?
I think not.
I'm going to end it now because why not?
Do you know what I mean?
I could, innit?
I could.
Send you all my love.
I'll see you in the next video.
Oh yeah.
Peace.
