| 0:00.0 | We have the power of choice. And so you want to make sure that you are choosing wisely each |
| 0:12.8 | day. What are you choosing? What choices are you making? Every choice matters. When I get |
| 0:19.1 | up in the morning, right? When I'm writing a book, I've written now 24 books, right? I |
| 0:23.4 | don't even know I could write a book. People ask me all the time if I have a ghost writer. |
| 0:27.9 | I get asked that so much. I must not look smart enough to write a book. But every morning, I get |
| 0:32.2 | up. What happens is I have a choice when I'm writing a book. Am I going to check myself on? |
| 0:36.7 | Am I going to get on social media? Am I going to read my email? Or am I going to write first thing? |
| 0:41.6 | If I get an email, I get on social media, I can't write. I'm done for the day. If I keep that |
| 0:46.4 | aside and I sit down and I start writing, next thing you know, I'm writing word after word, page |
| 0:53.0 | after page, and eventually within about three and a half to four weeks of that devotion, of that |
| 0:58.8 | discipline, of choosing wisely, of staying positive through the process, I will at the end of that |
| 1:04.6 | have a book, 24 books. They've sold five million copies. I don't tell you that to be impressive |
| 1:12.7 | in me because I'm not impressive. I tell you that because every day I make that choice. I can |
| 1:18.0 | look back and realize those choices have become the life that I now live, the life that I now enjoy, |
| 1:24.8 | that I am speaking to you as a result of the choices I made every day, the lonely work of sitting |
| 1:29.7 | in a dark room right in six a.m. and getting up and writing a book each day and not allowing those |
| 1:36.8 | distractions to keep me from being my best. That's what matters most guys. Being your best every day, |
| 1:43.0 | devoting yourself to the craft and choosing wisely, knowing that the habits you create now, |
| 1:48.6 | the things you do today will be the life you create in the future, the success you enjoy, |
| 1:54.3 | and it starts now, it starts with being your best for yourself, and it starts with being your best |
| 1:59.1 | for your team. That's about choosing wisely. |
