0:00.0	I think it's too often. We think it has to be big, grand, elaborate things that we need to hit
0:04.2	home runs all the time, and the home runs will come. You know, in business, for example, you'll
0:08.8	land that big client. But did you make enough calls to land a client every single day? You'll get
0:15.0	the promotion eventually, but did you do the things that will inevitably lead to the promotion that
0:19.7	seems small and simple that too many people often overlook? Be the kind of person that you have a desire to be down
0:26.4	the road and you will realize and manifest that. Men, I've got kind of a short one for you today.
0:33.6	I just got back from Alaska a couple of days ago. And as I was thinking about our Alaskan trip where we fished and enjoyed each other's company and did something that I've always wanted to do, I couldn't help but think about other adventures that I've been able to participate in and go on from hunting in Africa to Hawaii and Minnesota and Texas and a main moose hunt and just about
0:57.3	everywhere in between traveling to Costa Rica and going to Scotland several years ago and England

1:17.8	wanted, why it felt like I was treading water or in a cartoon spinning my legs as fast as I could go
1:24.4	and getting nowhere. And what I've realized over the past 10 years of doing this
1:29.5	and throughout my entire life is that we are always a product of what we do. And that is a product
1:36.7	of what we believe ourselves to be. So I want to just share a quick message with you today.
1:42.5	One of optimism and hope and encouragement.
1:45.6	I realize that when maybe you're getting started in life, it's hard to gain any traction.
1:52.3	I also know that in many points throughout our lives, it feels like maybe we should be further
1:56.8	along the path than we are. Or maybe you're starting over. Maybe you dealt with a crippling
2:02.6	medical condition. I have friends who have been in horrific car accidents, for example, and have
2:08.5	lost strength and lost the ability to use their legs and really gone through some severe health
2:16.7	challenges that have come out better than when they went
