just something to keep you going, inspire you and

motivate you to be better. Today, we're going to be talking about getting aggressive for the life

that you want. One thing that I see with so many people is that so many people act as if they're

kind of just the bystanders in their life. They're just kind of sitting there and

I'll write down my goals, I guess. And, you know, I'll probably meditate some. I'll buy a

couple books on Amazon and maybe read the first seven pages of them. I'll listen to some

inspiring podcasts. And really more than anything else is people tend to,

the analogy that I always give is we act with life as if we're just, we hop into a sailboat

and we just hop in the sailboat and we let the winds take us where they're going to take us.

We let the tides take us where they're going to take us. And one day we end up somewhere else, some island we end up or some distant land we end up. And then we're like, where am I? This isn't where I want it to be. And it's like, well, no shit, that's not where you want it to be. You didn't even step into the, you didn't even try to drive the sailboat. You're literally doing nothing and now you're like,

oh, this isn't where I wanted to be. Well, you should have done something about it. You should have gotten into the driver's seat of the sailboat and actually took the helm and said, you know what, I'm going to, I'm going to actually take myself somewhere instead of being like, well, you know, if I listen to some podcasts, then I'll be better. Oh, if I, if I read a few pages of a book, then I'll be better.

If I meditate for two minutes, then I'll be better. No, it's like, hopefully one day I'll get the life that I want. And, you know, like all that's good. I'm not saying don't listen to podcasts. I'm not saying don't listen. You know, don't read books, don't meditate, don't work out, don't write it on your goals. I'm saying do all of those things. All of that is good and okay. I recommend all of it. But you've actually got to really start to take it serious. Like you've got to stop fucking around at some point in time. You've got to step into the driver's seat and say, hey, listen,

I'm going to take the sailboat from point A to point B. Will there be tides that are going to

throw me all over the place? Yeah, will there be storms that are going to throw me all over the

place? Yeah, are the wind's not going to be the way that I want them to be sometimes? Yes, of course.

But when you look at a skilled sailor,
