0:00.0	We are not human beings. We are human-becomings. And that is the code of the day.
0:30.0	Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host Sean Crox and it's Sean Crox and
0:38.6	dot com. Today's episode is brought to you by the Jerk Bar, just deep real food available
0:42.4	at Jerkbar.com. We've got John Addison back on the show. He had his debut about two, three
0:48.5	weeks ago and I got lots of great feedback. So I thought I'd have him back in. Today,
0:52.5	John is picking up or less brown and Wayne dire left off. And he's talking about how we
0:58.4	think and how we must become someone new in order to have something new. Here's John.
1:03.9	Nothing is more important to you than your life, your dreams. So I want to ask you all a question.
1:15.3	And you're not going to have to hold your hand up or anything. Are you where you want to be in your
1:21.9	life? If you were writing it one to ten right now, where would you put it? Now there's a few e-ours
1:32.4	that would be a zero or a one. And then there's a few people. Oh, I'm a ten. They write

2:00.4	designed for success. But something called life comes along and programs and conditions them for
2:11.5	failure. You talk to a bunch of five year olds. Pick a school. I don't care what side of town it
2:19.3	is in. You talk to a bunch of five year olds and you say, what do you want to do with your life?
2:26.6	And they've got big dreams. They want to be a pilot. They want to be a doctor. They want to be a
2:33.8	sports star. They want to be an astronaut. They want to do something great. But then something
2:43.2	happens. They grow up. And then they go out in the real world. And they get something called a
2:52.0	boss. Or they get a job just over broke. And they start getting grinding down on them. The world
3:07.0	starts wearing those dreams down. And they start just existed. They give up on their dreams.
3:17.9	And they start just accepting it. Well, that's not the way it's supposed to be. Not for you.
