[01:38.93]Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick
[01:41.99]Don't lose faith
[01:43.74]I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going
[01:46.25]Was that I loved what I did
[01:47.89]You've got to find what you love
[01:49.96]And that is true for work as it is for your lovers
[01:53.46]Your work's going to fill a large part of your life
[01:56.08]And the only way to be truly satisfied
[01:58.26]Is to do what you believe is great work
[02:00.77]And the only way to do great work
[02:02.63]Is to love what you do
[02:04.61]If you haven't found it yet
[02:06.23]Keep looking, and don't settle
[02:09.07]As with all matters of the heart
[02:10.93]You'll know when you find it
[02:12.78]And, like any great relationship
[02:14.64]It just gets better and better as the years roll on
[02:17.59]So keep looking, don't settle

[03:11.21]My third story was about death
[03:14.81]When I was 17
[03:16.56]I read a quote that went something like
[03:18.85]"if you live each day as if it was your last
[03:21.36]Someday you'll most certainly be right."
[03:26.60]It made an impression on me
[03:28.46]And since then, for the past 33 years
[03:31.08]I've looked in mirror every morning and asked myself
[03:33.92]If today were the last day of my life
[03:36.32]Would I want to do what I'm about to do today
[03:39.93]And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row
[03:43.42]I know I need to change something
[03:46.26]Remembering that I'll be dead soon
[03:48.06]Is the most important tool I've ever encountered
[03:50.66]To help me make the big choices in life
[03:53.58]Because almost everything
[03:55.43]All external expectations, all pride
[03:58.16]All fear of embarrassment of failure
[04:00.56]These things just fall away in the face of death
[04:03.84]Leaving only what is truly important
[04:06.57]Remembering that you're going to die
[04:08.65]Is the best way I know
[04:10.72]To avoid the trap of thinking
[04:12.58]You have something to lose
[04:14.21]
[04:45.56]No one wants to die
[04:47.74]Even people who want to go to Heaven
[04:49.81]Don't want die to get there
[04:51.92]And yet, death is the destination we all share
[04:55.71]No one has ever escaped it
[04:57.79]And that is, as it should be
[04:59.97]Because death is every likely the single best invention of life
[05:04.67]It's life's change agent
[05:06.30]It clears out the old to make way for the new
[05:09.47]Right now, the new is you
[05:12.20]
[05:14.53]Your time is limited
[05:16.03]So don't waste it living in someone else's life
[05:20.17]Don't be trapped by dogma
[05:22.26]which is living with the results of other people's thinking
[05:25.52]Don't let the noise and others' opinions drown out your own inner voice
[05:29.67]And most important
[05:31.20]Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition
[05:33.93]They somehow already know
[05:36.01]What you truly want to become
[05:38.19]Everything else is secondary

Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick
