Your life happens right now

Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.

And that’s a revelation for some people: to realize that your life is only ever now.

Take a break

You have this idea that you’d better keep working otherwise people will forget. And that was dangerous. And then you realize, no, actually if you take a break people might be more interested in you.

It’s not about the money

I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life.

Priorities

You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.

Willpower and Change

It’s not that some people have willpower and some don’t… It’s that some people are ready to change and others are not.

Growth

Don’t go through life, grow through life.

This is not a dress rehearsal

I’m 44. This is not a dress rehearsal in my life or career, this is the real thing. Some times we look at life like it’s a dress rehearsal. “OK, I’m gonna be able to fuck around and do this and that and then I’ll have a chance” and it’s like, this never comes back. NEVER.

I feel bad for guys who come up to me and go, “I’m 40, and I never did stand-up, or I never tried radio, and I always wanted to”, because maybe circumstances didn’t allow it, but a lot of time people look at things like it’s a rehearsal. IT’S NOT. It’s hard to motivate until you think of it this way.

“If I don’t DO, or at least TRY what I wanna fucking try, and MOVE, I’m just gonna fucking get stuck here.”

In any thing you’re doing in life, if you wanna go out and try something, just SHUT UP, and go out and fucking try it, and if you fail, you’re never gonna look back and go, “I should have given that a shot”
