I've never done this before.
You know I had a dream as a vision as an idea that I'm supposed to be doing this for them haven't done it.
And you end up talking yourself out of opportunities and -- that are right funny.
And so in order to do that you have to get out of your own way and give yourself permission.
To walk into the unfamiliar.
I was reading about your -- I was reading what led to it and you hurt tweeting to your fans -- some inspirational messages that I have some with me so at some things such as.
Change your mind heart horrible surrounding his annual literally change your life step -- on faith and you set another not a time.
People are -- doing the same thing over and over and over expecting different results yes so tell us more about that.
Well one -- -- mentors Will Smith said you can often tell how far.
Your life and career will go based on the five people you spend the most time.
And in this economy everybody -- to associated if they had more money they would be happier.
But I would say if you stop paying and -- with a miserable friends.
Miserable family members and take more control of your environment then all of a sudden you'll be resting -- -- because you go to sleep at night doesn't mean -- resting.
If you night if your life is a nightmare the entire time you're awake Friday -- gonna continue -- -- -- It's interesting so you felt like and Watson you're on the horizon is limited -- -- you're just gonna be garbage man.

You know what -- -- and people tend to try to define you when you should really be defining yourself not letting anything else -- there was another tree had shut up stop complaining.
Your life is still let's say because you're still doing the same let's say stop these are helping -- an athlete -- -- -- we let's say that on cable here again but you know in his -- months sort of time so what did you mean by that would stop.
I mean -- thing -- people running around.
Playing the victim.
Of what they decided they wanted to -- alive nobody told you to pick them and nobody told you to have unprotected sex for them and have a child.
So why -- you running around complaining about who you decided you wanted to -- -- -- time right now is so in any slight that would with the guys in who did days the same thing like in the end.
I don't have all the answers but I'm saying I'm using common sense at this point I'm just putting it out there.
And so everything I put my heart into the pages is not some fake superficial plastic.
Book it's wrong on -- We like saying stopped going your therapist is that person is bored with -- -- saying the same thing over and over.
Well I mean the thing is.
In this society and I hate to use the word society is -- over you I was kidding about that we not also at many I definitely didn't write that.
-- other so I think there are therapists are totally bored with their patients it is they keep repeating themselves they go ahead go in and and figure out a way to change of their career because people come in the U for help that's right and I -- -- -- guys are gonna have -- go -- I think like for me.
People these days.
Will talk you out of seeking help.

And -- walking around carrying this stuff which you every day.
China have conversations were random friends in the neighborhood these people your -- -- -- your friends but they're not a therapist.
So I'm seeking that they like I'm I'm in there be right now proudly.
And you know running like and you see in a shrink yes because I'm trying to shrink these problems -- smart I don't wanna carry them around -- me anymore and as much as I figured out Obama alive -- so much more to Figaro.
