Today was a failed attempt, you know. I tried to get these podcasts up by 2 a.m. Western time,

but today was a failed attempt. I was on the phone last night with a friend having a conversation,

really good conversation, and after the conversation I was just chilling on the couch, and then

nice thing, you know, I woke up and I was the next day at 8 a.m. I was like, what? How did that happen?

How did I just fall asleep in this uncomfortable position for the last 8 hours, and now it's the

next day and I got to start again. Failed attempt, understand? Then as I get up I'm kind of like

not in my regular routine and I'm looking around and I'm like, what do I even do with myself?

And then I pick up my phone and I'm like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you know, you can almost see

yourself falling, but then you catch yourself. But sometimes we will have a failed attempt. You

know, if you think of a runner, a runner who has a false start, it's almost nearly impossible

for them to catch back up to the rest of the runners in a race or possibly even win.

Right? If there's a track and field race and an athlete has a failed attempt at the start,

they have to exert so much energy to even catch up. And it's like that when we start the day off

wrong. It's like that when we start the day off on Instagram. We have a failed attempt already

at the day as a false start and a robsess of the opportunity of being present throughout the day.

Because maybe today is the day where an idea was going to come to your mind. I was going to shift

your whole life, but not even your life was going to shift your whole family's life, right?

But we are distracted. And maybe today is the day where you were going to do something you'd never

done before and you were going to produce something, you were going to act on something because

action creates things, a CT act, but you're distracted. You know, the ones who can think clearly will

potentially be rich. The ones who think clearly will potentially be rich. And when I talk about

richness, I'm not just talking about money, I'm talking about life, I'm a rich in spirit.
