Summary
Do not be concerned with the fruit of your action. Just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord" - Eckhart Tolle
This is an episode about change. With New Years around the corner it's important to remember what actually brings about transformation. The tendency, when we want to evolve, is to look at the ultimate goal, but this is both misleading and discouraging. Greatness isn't about saying yes to the goal, it's about continually saying yes and showing up for the small commitments that create the goal. Your job is not to be the best, your job is to do the small things every day that will make you the best.

| 0:00.0 | Hope. |
| 0:05.0 | It's such a beautiful thing. |
| 0:12.0 | I love that we want more. |
| 0:15.0 | I love that we're able to look around and see the opportunity and the possibility. |
| 0:21.6 | I love that we know we can pick up a pen and change the script, rewrite the ending. |
| 0:29.6 | That's why the new year is so powerful. |
| 0:34.6 | Because with it comes hope. It forces us to sit down and think, reflect on the delta |

| 0:57.0 | But also worth examining. |
| 1:01.0 | Because here's what I want. |
| 1:04.0 | I want those resolutions and those plans to materialize. |
| 1:10.0 | I want the new you to start its incredible evolution. |
| 1:14.6 | I want the journey to begin. |
| 1:18.6 | But I also want you to understand why we so often miss the mark |
| 1:23.6 | with this vision for tomorrow. |
| 1:33.6 | Because the truth is you will wake up January 1st and everything will for a moment in time feel new. As we turn the page, we are refreshed and invigorated. But new has a short lifespan. New eventually gives way to the same |
| 1:49.4 | realities we've dealt with in the last chapter, the same struggles, the same obstacle. So no, the |
| 1:56.7 | answer to change is not novelty. It can't be. Let's not latch on to something that |
| 2:04.3 | will slip through our fingers like grains of sand on the beach. Let's change the way we look |
| 2:12.1 | at sustainability. Let's take the complex and make it bite-sized. See, there's nothing more discouraging than wanting the moon |
| 2:23.3 | and realizing every day that although you're climbing and climbing continuously, |
