Why Everything You Need Is Already Inside You

In this talk, we explore the liberating truth that you do not need to do everything, see everything, or be good at everything to have a meaningful life. Many of us chase endless bucket lists and projects, only to find ourselves burnt out and unable to enjoy the success we’ve built.

By learning to say "no thank you" to the unnecessary, you protect your most valuable resource: your energy.

Everything you need is inside you.

You don't need to own every object.

You don't actually need to check off every bucket list.

You don't need to visit every single city.

You don't need to save every human being or do every single job or be good at everything.

You actually need to be good at one or two things,

Be really good at them.

You don't need to be good at everything else.

So it's important to say no thank you.

I'm here to be alive,

To be kind to the people I care about,

To cultivate my garden.

And not every project is for me.

My calm,

My roots,

My rest matter.

My ability to enjoy life matters.

I don't need to do everything.

I train and teach some of the most successful people in the world.

And they often reach success and then they're so burnt out they don't even want it anymore.

And the solution is realizing the most important things are inside you.

You don't need to do everything.

You need what fulfills you and not more than fulfills you.

Because everything you take,

Everything you do,

Takes some of your energy.

So there's a balance of how much do you want to have and how much energy do you want to have.

I want you to have tons of energy every time you wake up in the morning.

I want you to be teeming with energy,

To be bubbling with energy in a healthy way.

So you're enthusiastic,

Alive,

Happy about the day.

Lots of energy and to have the things you truly want.

And you always have enough energy for the things you truly,

Truly want.

So my wish to you is may all your wishes come true.
