What is The True Meaning of Freedom?
My definition of freedom hasn't changed since I was 15. Right. And that's to be able to do what I want, when I want, with who I want, how I want. That's freedom. Money is great like, money's fantastic. I love mining, I love getting it, I love spending it. Anybody who says money's the root of all evil, never had any. Anybody that says money can't buy you happiness, doesn't know where to shop. Money is fantastic but for me, success is something greater than that. And I tell this to people oftentimes that time is the new luxury. That's why when people look at a man like Jeff Bezos, you look at a guy, the founder of Amazon, now one of the richest men in the world.
People think oh man, he's got millions of dollars. He's going to be a trillionaire soon. That's crazy. I'm like, you're missing the point. This guy, forget about his personal wealth, he's made billions and billions more for other people. He's created more millionaires and billionaires than anybody else in the last 50 years by allowing people to sell products on the Amazon platform by creating the world's biggest e-commerce platform.
So that's what people are that's what people are missing about people like that and I just am grateful if I can have a certain amount of impact that put a dent in the universe and get people out of the doldrum day-to-day tick-tock existences that people feel like they're stuck in. Most people feel like they're on a hamster wheel. They feel like, you know, they wake up, they go to work, they come home, the wife's there the kids are there, the maybe they have a little bit of time with the family, then they sleep.
They wake up and they repeat it again. You ask them what's it all for man? What are you doing all this? For what's the point of it? And they ask people that, ask people about that and you'll see I mean I'm sure in your profession, you know, you're a coach. You must have this conversation a lot but when you talk to people about that kind of thing, you realize that people have never thought about it. They're just doing it because it's the thing to do.
Somebody told them that's what you do and they do it and one day they wake up, they're 65, they're fat, the wife's fat, the kids are fat. They're living a miserable life and they're thinking to themselves how did I get here but then it's too late. Okay, that was fun. If you liked what you saw, make sure to subscribe and like below.
