Ladies and gentlemen, ination for departure. Please check to see that your seat belts are securely fastened, your window shades are open, seat backs are in the upright and lock position. VOR Nation Thank you so much for listening to the Plane project. I Just want to give a huge shout out to Sity If the uh Wi-Fi was not broken on my flight from Sweden to New York it would have never happened.
Kind of. Uh, just got my work done. Sat somehow got ridiculously inspired. Please bear with me with the quality of the audio obviously I was in the air and in that zone I Hope you enjoy this.
Kind of like, almost like a rant album. I'm very proud of it. I Have a funny feeling. A lot of you get tremendous value out of it and I would love to know which one was your favorite rant.
Enjoy this. Enjoy this. Enjoy this. See you hunger.
There's nothing better. How hungry are you? How much do you really want it? Be proud of your hunger. Do Not suppress your ambition. It is a good thing.
Build the biggest thing you can build. Do not tear down other people's projects, But do not be embarrassed of wanting to build the biggest project of them all. Do Not suppress your hunger. Do Not allow anybody to tell you it is wrong.
Do Not let anybody tell you that you're dreaming. Too big, too high, have practicality in it. Deploy patience in it. Understand The Audacity Of It Protect your ambition.
It is absolutely fundamentally one of your secret sauces. But please do not let ambition. cloak and trick you into thinking you can do the wrong things. Your ambition does not need to be fulfilled at the expense of others.
In fact, when harnessed properly, your ambition should Inspire and help so many. Please think about your legacy and your teens and your 20s and your 30s and your 40s. And please, if you are in your 50s and 60s, understand the circumstances of Technology have created a format for you to exploit and enjoy that it is not too late for you to rekindle your diminishing ambition. that your phone and the distributions of the modern day platforms named YouTube and Instagram and Linkedin and podcast create an opportunity for the next three decades of your life to harness your ding ambition.
Please, please harness your ambition and mold it into the incredible thing that it can be the driving force to the happiness of your life. Parents, Please let them win on their terms, not yours. Your children are not a direct indication of who you are. They're a byproduct.
There's proxies. there's things. But so many of you are deploying your insecurities about yourself on your children because you genuinely care about what people around you are saying about them. Other families, other friends, other relatives talking about your kids.
You value their Povs more than listening to your own children. It's not necessarily the words, it's their actions. It is your job as a leader of a family to reverse engineer the players in the game and put them in the best position to succeed. And the thought that so many of you are parenting your children predicate on your short-term fulfillment of other people's opinions devastates the out of me. And one day we'll devastate you too and probably devastates you right now. And so if that line hit you directly in your heart or your brain, please do something about it. I May never make a video more important to me than this: I'm the byproduct of the most incredible parents who disproportionally put me in a position to succeed because they were confident in who they were and did not allow other people to judge them and allowed me to live in happiness and be who I was. So please Parents, please understand that your concern of being judged by artificial truths is positioning your children not to fulfill the happiness that you have to want for them.
It also creates an unbelievable weakness for them not to be able to deal I Able to deal because my mother and father put me into a framework that allowed me to fail and allowed me to be me. Please don't let your insecurities be imposed. And please don't hide them under the false statements that you're trying to do what's right for them. What's right for them is to give them freedom to be themselves as long it is noble and fair.
Do not judge their creativity or the angles they see that you do not see now. please. High L Left Right Opposite directions, Pull from them, find your balance in your extremes, hold those opposite feelings, and try to make diamonds out of the friction. and I believe so many of you.
You are so different professionally than you are in your regular life. In that context, please start trying to understand the things that make you pick in your extreme differences that you pull from other directions. because in there is the Magic in there is the happiness for the rest of your life. Try to reconcile and create Frameworks and conversations and debates with yourself to how you can pull in different directions, have different aspects of your game, be different in different scenarios, and reconcile them and make them a clean, complex, understanding concoction.
Find your balance in your left and right. your dark and light. You're open and closed. You're aggressive and passive.
Find your balance and communicate it. Everybody's got something. Everybody's sitting right now as they're watching this video and theyve got something that they're dwelling about, Something that's pulling them down, Something that's going them back, Something that's happened a long time ago, or something that's going on right now. everybody's got.
and I Just want people to know that if we could just all play a little more Ely and realize that it just makes it a little bit easier for you to deal with your once you realize that you stop worrying about everybody else, you know why you stop worrying about everybody else because a you realize they've done something and B you don't give a about their opinion cuz they've got something. They come in different shapes and sizes but to that person, it's theirs. And so please my friends, please understand what everybody's got. Their pain Now it's an even playing field. Deploy empathy and deploy confidence in yourself cuz nobody's judgment on you means they've got something too. It doesn't matter. 99% of things don't matter. How do you allow yourself to look at the small things like somebody has a nicer car or somebody has more followers on Instagram Doesn't matter if your sister's winning or losing, it doesn't matter if your best friend's making $100,000 a year and you haven't figured out who you are, it doesn't matter my friends.
The only thing that matters is how you judge yourself inside your head and do you understand where you're going and how you're going to do it and how long you have to get there? Do not be crippled by the short-term narrative based on things that do not matter because all the things that are being thrown at you on a daily basis that make you judge yourself in the short term don't matter. All those artificial doubts that were poured into your brain by your inner circle and your outer game don't matter matter. Please watch this video every day. Anytime something sucks like remember, it doesn't matter in the macro.
They're only so few things that you will think about on your deathbed. So understand. Whatever you're upset about right now fundamentally doesn't matter. It just doesn't In the end, what matters is, did you do it your way? Did you die on your sword? Did you do it on your feet? Did you listen to yourself? And did you do it the right way? Please stop judging.
Judgment is flying from every Dimension every angle. everybody's judging. and I'm just ask me please to stop. The are you the do you think you are? I Just am flabbergasted by people's inability to realize the hypocrisy of the judgments you can judge in your mind.
Let it. Fester Let it articulate, be thoughtful. Don't be quick to judge. Look at yourself first just because you may not be doing a you might be doing C Is There a difference if you were in a mindset where judging and dragging somebody else down contributes to your happiness.
You fundamentally monst this me. And I implore you that maybe this second starts the process of going in the other direction. Offense always beats defense In this new world of communication where everybody has the power to share the Judgment of others. is that an all-time high in its distribution? But my friends, this has been the way it's always been for the get.
Nothing has changed. It's time that we look at each other and understand what we really are are and deal with the harsh, harsh TRS of some of our shortcomings and Judgment of others is at the Tipp and top. I Will not judge you, you're you I will talk about my truths I will debate you who the Am I I'm Zero I'm nobody I will not judge you. You do You do it the way that will build for your legacy. Allow it to be in a way that when everybody judges that those 8 billion people judge you correctly the way you wish they would, the way that would make your grandkids proud. But I was Zero. My moment's judging zero and I implore you to do the same. I Need nothing and you need to learn how to figure that out too when your expectation of others is zero when you do not rely on a single person emotionally or financially, when you create a game, a world where you no longer put the responsibility on your parents or older brother, your Mentor Society A country, a flag, a race a Creed When you take on full mother responsibility for yourself in yourself, you require nothing of anybody else.
When you become that accountable when you understand that it is on you truly and nobody owes you anything, it gets really, really quiet and then you can start really achieving something because when you aren't at the mercy of others you it's never, ever been more practical than right this second to be somebody that gives because of the way communication is now structured in our society, that the ability for everybody to distribute it is in play and that the truth and Karma has never been more practical. And Powerful please my friends, step up and start doing more good behind the scenes stuff that people don't see. Give, Give, give and then if you need to ask, understand that the key to the gift give give strategy is zero expectations. So many of you are giving with the thought of what you're going to get in return and my friends that is not giving that is manipulating the outcome.
In the midterm, giving has never been more practical and never been more powerful because the depths of how it can be reached and passed on and the stories being told. Be on that team, Please give if you can something more daily Always Forever I Want you to understand this project I want you to understand it I am driven by guilt and gratitude I'm driven by them because I'm so thankful and I feel so honestly guilty to my parents and my circumstance I Thank everybody for all those losses I took along the way from the kids that made me drink piss out of a Pepsi can cuz I couldn't speak English in do New Jersey I thank you Dover I Thank the school system for creating a game that does not allow the ambitious and creative and the people that see it to suc suceed in the short term I Thank the friends and family who whispered behind my back who casted A Narrative of My Success because I was losing in the framework of the 80s and 90s where college and school was the only variable of an indicator of your success. I Thank them and most of all I thank my mother and father and my sister and brother who lived in the Cocoon that I lived in for the first 18 years of my life that was limited in its vacation time escapism that was limited in its abundance that would have become the weapons of my shortcomings. I thank I thank them all and I'm driven by gratitude and guilt as I create this project and I want my audience to understand that I spit flames and bars for the rest of my life out of guilt and gratitude cuz I wanted so bad for you I feel your pains and shortcomings I feel them I see them I read them I sense them I can taste them and what I want for you is what I have emotionally so I come to you and deliver you the project on the plan as a collective rant that I hope inspires the switch from defense to offense that becomes the fuel to your happiness and I remind all of you all your shortcomings and losses and negativity is yesterday. It is all fundamentally behind you, even the worst of it, and it is up to you to step forward and start positive offense as your new truth and I beg that for you and I Hope. This project suffocated it and inspired it and created it and enabled it. And I Love you.
