5 Ways to UNLOCK the POWER of Imagination in You! - IMAGINE YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS! - #SundaySermon 033

45:50 Things You Didn't Learn in School

Peter Saddington contends that imagination is humanity's most vital mental faculty, distinguishing us from other creatures with predictable life cycles. He argues that imagination allows individuals to envision and create futures distinct from their present reality. Saddington believes traditional schooling often stifles this innate ability by prioritizing compliance and conformity over creative exploration. He highlights the importance of fostering imagination, particularly in children, and shares personal anecdotes about his active involvement in his children's education. Saddington advocates for limiting exposure to passive entertainment like television, encouraging children to engage with the world directly, and critically analyzing media narratives. He also touches on the concept of "diversity," opining that the pursuit of it is damaged when a "director of diversity" position is created within a school.

And so you can literally create your future and you see Peter that's some bullshit fuck that shit brother Ninja please you can't man you will tell me that if I brother oh Eve little faith Oh ye of little faith I Built many startups most of them a fail so Bitcoin is exactly the place that I like to be we're gonna end it right there So this this imagine this imagination this is this is it this is it so I keep repeating it. Let's get into it guys Let's get into it guys. It's quarrying the air kick it imagination You know The reason and I'm what tell some personal stories within this narrative of sorts But the reason why my wife and I are so conscientious we are so Overly involved and our kids education is because we understand the value of education at I believe

the entire spectrum of what education is and And I and I say that and I say that in equivocally The boon's and I have like eight degrees between the two of us We know what education is we know what propaganda is we know what messaging is we know what we know what know what the underpinning World views of of these systems are we've been in it guys my wife's a fucking lawyer guys You didn't know So you think I'm smart guys you haven't met the boons She ain't she ain't just some beautiful bombshell that gets to hang off my arm some beautiful Expensive jewelry that I got she more than that guys You're the trophy husband. No No, no man. I I'm just here so I don't get fined guys I'm just here so I don't get fined guys, but we know what education is

this is why we're so We're so deep into our kids education because we and I write some vicious emails guys. Please believe I Could show you some emails guys that I've written to administration. You see how old your kids again That's right second grade motherfucker shit's real kindergarten son shit's real It's fucking important to me that Certain things are well understood Don't be don't be bringing in that social justice warrior liberal bullshit. Don't be bringing in that worldly shit Don't bring bring bringing in that shit and I think I don't know if I've told you guys, but I won't let's just let's just say when you hire a director of diversity You have immediately removed diversity from your school You can argue with me But you're wrong Once you hire a director of diversity at your school all diversity from that school has now been

squashed It is a fundamental flaw within the liberal idea that if we continue to fracture and identify fracture Which is what director of diversity does is to say we are diverse. Let me count the ways Oh We seem to be underrepresented in a particular area which I feel is important to participate In this wonderful school No, really, oh, okay, well that's your idea wonderful. Let's have a conversation Let's talk about someone who might have a dissenting idea. I'll be it It might be a tough conversation, but a dissenting idea from someone like me because I'm a young father and I'm over zealous from my children's education because I got fucking three master's degrees guys. I know what this stuff is And you say well Peter why why the huff puff about education because it is the schools here we go It's the schools guys that

conversation Let's talk about someone who might have a dissenting idea. I'll be it It might be a tough conversation, but a dissenting idea from someone like me because I'm a young father and I'm over zealous from my children's education because I got fucking three master's degrees guys. I know what this stuff is And you say well Peter why why the huff puff about education because it is the schools here we go It's the schools guys that destroy imagination It's the school system that destroys imagination when your child in class Might be looking out the window considering the world outside and wondering what is going on Outside what is going on and the teacher goes Hey Pay attention Get with the program What that teacher is fundamentally doing is squashing this child's most important mental faculty You're squashing that child's imagination You are crushing the imagination

of someone who is clearly in a moment of flow Even at a young five six seven eight year old in a moment of flow We could see their eyes darting back and forth staring blankly into something who knows what it is But their imagination is running wild their mind is having a ball It could be negative. It could be positive watch them observe them see What the child is reacting to That is why my wife and I are so involved hyper involved with our kids education because we want to ensure the educational experience is one that continues to support imagination To allow for the creative to be creative This is another reason why we don't have TV in our house The kids watch movies. Yes, they watch pre-selected Disney movies right now We understand the mental programming that happens that it with those but we

have very powerful conversations with our daughter around What the differential is between what they've seen and what reality is? Without crushing the imagination But that's just a small piece of the part We don't have cable we don't have TV because we want our kids to imagine the world We want our kids to explore We want our kids to ride their bikes in the fucking street by themselves. Please Let them go around the dead gone block I Want them to see the world as a fascinating and wonderful place I Then I want them to use that imagination and many of us including myself. We have lost it We have lost it through the educational system. We have lost it through reinforcing roles within corporate systems And we have lost it within society itself which demands hierarchy it demands hierarchy it demands function over form it demands

compliance And we are highly compliant are we not? I Graciously allow the TSA agent a Unconstitutional entity within America, but I graciously allow the TSA agent to fondle my balls as I look down at him Distainfully and as he gets up and meets my gaze I say sir. I feel like I owe you a tip and Yes, is that offensive? Absolutely, but I make sure that they know that I'm highly offended that this is happening within my country Why are you allowed to touch me? So I want our kids to have imagination Not be compliant and that's what we've lost So let's talk about this What is imagination imagination is imagining something different from the current reality in which you are in Imagination is thinking of things differently Imagine a nation is thinking of things in the future Imagination is anything that can be conjured

know that I'm highly offended that this is happening within my country Why are you allowed to touch me? So I want our kids to have imagination Not be compliant and that's what we've lost So let's talk about this What is imagination imagination is imagining something different from the current reality in which you are in Imagination is thinking of things differently Imagine a nation is thinking of things in the future Imagination is anything that can be conjured up in the mind that is currently not nested in a reality right now Imagination transcends reality imagination is the unreality And imagination stems from the mind How do you conjure up such imagination? Well, let me tell you the power of imagination before we talk about how we conjure this idea up because I think the argument is strongest when we understand the power and potential of imagination first

Did you know as I said in the child? The child's most important mental faculty in their entire life till the day they die will be their imagination Why because it is the most unique mental faculty that you have it's it's all that you've got That separates you from any other creature on this planet a dog a cat a mouse a rhino giraffe Whatever an ant These creatures lack imagination That's why they have very predictable life cycles The human we have unpredictable life cycles independently We have somewhat predictable endpoints Depending on a multiplicity of factors including demographic Geography genetics, etc But we are the only creature on the planet that has this mental faculty which is imagination and What's even more powerful? Please this is it? What is even more powerful is that we're the only creatures in the world that can imagine something before it?

Emerges We're the only creature on the planet that can build something before it's built I dream a lot guys I dream a lot I dream a lot about this business obviously this is mostly what I think about And I can when we can save that for another time about the about that about what I'm thinking about with the business But you know what I think about a lot and I'll be honest Especially at night, I'm trying to go to sleep. You know the thing that calms my mind Before I go to sleep that the thing that allows me to finally clock out Is I sit there with my eyes closed and I think about my garage Not the garage that I'm currently in but the garage that I want to build I Am endlessly tirelessly almost every night imagining The next garage I built the

garage. I'm in right now. I love it guys. I want to go bigger I want to go bigger and I don't think there's any shame with that I don't want to have cars sitting outside. I don't want to have cars in a warehouse It's it's it's it's there's a Korean word for it. It's burpione It's burpione. It's it's it's it's complicated. It just complicates life You might say Peter who gives a fuck about your your material desires. I do It serves a multiplicity of purposes. It is not merely it is not merely something that I am Gelis or yearning for and incessantly with an emotionality that needs to be quenched. No, this is a rational imagination And I think that's important. I think that's important to highlight is that this is intentional act Every night to help my me go to sleep I Intentionally think

say Peter who gives a fuck about your your material desires. I do It serves a multiplicity of purposes. It is not merely it is not merely something that I am Gelis or yearning for and incessantly with an emotionality that needs to be quenched. No, this is a rational imagination And I think that's important. I think that's important to highlight is that this is intentional act Every night to help my me go to sleep I Intentionally think about the next future doge lord garage and it's gonna be bigger and I'm so excited Can't wait to build this fucking thing. I love creating shit out of nothing guys And there's nothing more satisfying than seeing a garage that you built You say man, I can't complain about a daggone thing in this garage because guess what if I don't like it It's my fault So I better

be daggone fucking sure that this is exactly what I want in need right now And I love hanging out in the garage with you guys I love sitting in my garage coating and and drinking secret sauce and Just grinding the fuck out of work and Depending on the day. There's different cars behind me. It's great. It's great Mostly they're only there temporarily because We got the pragmatic cars right now guys. We got to be very pragmatic Somewhat pragmatic But I intentionally here's the point guys I intentionally engage in the act of imagination every night And it is wonderful because it is something I really want it is something I really would it is I'm super excited about it guys and I do I'm gonna shut up about the details because guys I can tell you details The only detail I'll give you right now just

to wet your palette if you're interested in a future story about it guys Is this fucking garage is gonna be 3,500 square feet? y'all I'm so excited But I intentionally engage in that act of imagination and it is wonderful to drift off every night Having that in the back of my brain because it is what I know I Can achieve if I work harder than anyone else that I know We've talked about that I know that I can achieve the garage that I want If I work harder than anyone else that I know And so the act of imagination is intentional It's something that we have to engage in and it could be anything it doesn't have to be stupid like a garage You know it could be it could be an education it could be diapers right right sorry I've been missing the chat

It could be building your first home Florida weather Florida water Could be whatever you want I don't care But I think you have no I don't think I know whatever you want you have to intentionally imagine a future of That want This is the power of imagination guys and this is the beginning of it because I truly believe That that driving force that That that that that imagining a future in which you want an idea in what you want it could be it doesn't have to be a future Just be an idea That that I think the most important part of that that intentional imagination is it creates a goal a goal that you will think about everyday And if you think about it enough Because it comes from your brain the rest of the body kind of follows So let me repeat that and

imagining a future in which you want an idea in what you want it could be it doesn't have to be a future Just be an idea That that I think the most important part of that that intentional imagination is it creates a goal a goal that you will think about everyday And if you think about it enough Because it comes from your brain the rest of the body kind of follows So let me repeat that and we've talked about this in B90X Whatever you think about all day is what your is what your life is gonna turn into Whatever you think about all day is what your life is going to be Because the mind it begins with the mind and it flows down to your artifices flows down to your moment flows down to your body flows down to your actions your behavior Your

speech changes everything it starts with the mind and So you can literally create your future and you see Peter that's some bullshit. Fuck that shit brother Ninja please you can't man you will tell me that if I Brother oh you've little faith Oh ye of little faith I'm living I'm living proof guys I built this house with sweat and blood Just kidding my wife built the house with my money But I got to build the garage I Worked hard for the money to be able to pay to build a custom house with a wonderful architect and even better builder We built our dream home guys Just past 30 Just past 30 years old building my dream house guys. I Imagine this into reality Years before we even laid first brick I Imagine this I imagine it every day For at least a couple years I

said I this is I can do this I can do this I want this This is possible. This isn't extreme. I'm not looking at a mansion I'm looking at something that can be just mine and And I'll give and I want these constraints Right and the constraints create the property and you build up from there So how much work how much property? I'm am I gonna be able to work with With the constraints or requirements that I have or requirements we needed to be by a creek I need water in case the fucking zombie apocalypse happen That was it I need to be by a creek or a water source that I can access freely without permission And that constrained the areas in which we could build and then that constrained even more so the properties that were Existence that we could buy in a

forward within our within our constraints our for ability So this wasn't in in unreality This is a rational imagination Please follow this is a rational imagination of a future that I know can be possible if I fucking work harder than anyone else I know Wanted to be able to say there's many very superficial goals that I have had in life Very superficial goals I'm not shame to admit it. I'm human But they all came from the imagination because I intentionally engage in the act of future for future storytelling And the life that I wanted to have And at all that's that's the power of imagination That's it is that you can imagine a future You can imagine a future that you can have Because I'm a walking example of that I am a literal walking example of that and To be quite frank within my

admit it. I'm human But they all came from the imagination because I intentionally engage in the act of future for future storytelling And the life that I wanted to have And at all that's that's the power of imagination That's it is that you can imagine a future You can imagine a future that you can have Because I'm a walking example of that I am a literal walking example of that and To be quite frank within my very small network of people I don't know anyone. I don't know anyone that just past 30 Is able to build their dream home with their dream cars in it and that for me was a worldly piece of success I loved every moment of it. I still love it every day because I am completely comfortable in my man cave I love every moment of it and so that's

the power of imagination is that you can imagine a future But you have to intentionally engage with it and I keep repeating this because it's important to repeat You have to intentionally engage in the act of imagination You have to use a daily it's a daily function. That's it. It's a daily function Did you know that that that that that that 90% of your life is from visual cues? Think about that 90% of your life is from visual cues So you got to use that all that other 10% To its max that 10% is how can I unimagin the reality around me and create one that's new Create one that's different I've enhanced my perception of the world get beyond my box. What do I need to do? Get educated get educated in that area and then just begin imagining you actually don't even have

to get educated You will get educated if you just imagine something that requires that education You will Emergently find that you'll need that education to get that which you imagine So I intentionally imagine all the time and these are within reality these are rational intentional Acts that I do and something and I'm gonna give you guys five tips And these are things that I actually had to write down for the first time ever because these are these are things that just kind of Have helped me as a consultant but also help me when the world of helping my my clients Imagine a world different than their own so I'm actually taking this from a consulting standpoint But it works effectively well with the imagination of your dreams not just corporate goals Well, that's shit So whenever you're at an endpoint whenever you're a decision point

whenever you're at some sort of point in which you feel like you can go no further There are five questions to kind of ask yourself that help me As a consultant help my clients think differently from the way that they're thinking right now, but this is great for imagination as well And and what I say is imagine what else is there? What else is there and you can take that permutation to Enth degrees What else is there negative? What else is there positive? What else is there? Just start with that what imagine? What else is there? Okay, let me give you a pragmatic example of how I built my man cave the garage I'm sitting in right now I started with the layout of the garage and I said what else is there? What else is there to do? I need to have choose doors

can take that permutation to Enth degrees What else is there negative? What else is there positive? What else is there? Just start with that what imagine? What else is there? Okay, let me give you a pragmatic example of how I built my man cave the garage I'm sitting in right now I started with the layout of the garage and I said what else is there? What else is there to do? I need to have choose doors duh and so it you go step by step by step and moves you in the right direction when you're stuck in imagination or thinking about the future The second question is what's missing what's missing from here? You could be similar to what's you know, you know, what else is there? But I think What's missing is very point is very pointed what's missing from this equation? What do

I need? What do I need to have? To get what I want and this isn't a selfish, you know because people look at you say you know to get what I want Your selfish your your your ego-tisticle yourself. So fuck you. This is reality. I want this thing. Okay? I want it and I need to I need to consider What's missing from getting what I want? I want to build this fucking garage I'm so excited about it and what do I need? Well, let's get practical. Let's get rational. Let's get reasonable. Well, I need capital You need capital, okay That's very simple to point out. So what I want what's missing from that? That's exactly right self-centeredness is okay. Well, it's the same idea. It's very eye-on-randing, right? You know self self-interest number three Where is Imagine where's the gap? Where's the gap? There's always

a gap There's always something there's always a gap between one thing and another Where's the gap between X and X and Y? Number four what is not imagine what is not yet happening? What needs to happen? What is not yet happening? to the situation And my favorite one My favorite one to get me thinking differently about the current situation I'm in Use my imagination using my brain Is what would film the blank do and I'm gonna give you my three go-to's I'm gonna give my three go-to's, okay? My first is what would Jackie Chan do and That's my first thought like within the situation within this context or this problem that I have or the trying being stuck with this idea This I you know this this startup this this thing I want to do this whatever I want to get to Whatever I want

to get to what what would Jack for me the first person I go to is what would Jackie Chan do because this motherfucker Imaginary counsel absolutely true. I mean you Is Is I say what would Jackie Chan do this motherfucker picks up anything and starts hitting people with it? With the context of a fight because I'm I'm fighting here fighting with myself the idea is the blockages So I think what what is within my reach literally my reach what is within my reach? Did I can use combat this? For me being in the garage It's relatively simple I Could reach to my keyboard and begin to fucking type anyway or begin to code anyway Just fucking show up and the muse maybe will come But she she she runs on her own time. She doesn't have the fuck she wants and so sometimes I have

So I think what what is within my reach literally my reach what is within my reach? Did I can use combat this? For me being in the garage It's relatively simple I Could reach to my keyboard and begin to fucking type anyway or begin to code anyway Just fucking show up and the muse maybe will come But she she she runs on her own time. She doesn't have the fuck she wants and so sometimes I have to Force the muse to show the fuck up and so you know what else is in reach? Macar Grab the Lambo and I say you know I am fucking stuck I Need to get out And so within my reach is the keys to Macar. That's why I built that's why I built it this way guys This is the piece of some of these aesthetics of the keys

to to get me unstuck in my imagination I grabbed the keys to my fucking car Depends on how I feel sometimes I'll drive to the Drive to the other office and pick up the Porsche But Those things are within reach and I tell you guys nine out of ten times when I take the Lambo out Where I go over to my other office I get unstuck I figure out the problem. I figure out what I need to do. I figure out what's missing I figure what what's needs to happen next. I need I figure out who I need to reach out to I figure out what I need to say I Get it hex deck, but I'm gonna tell you I'm a weak. I am a man that car looks fucking sick, bro Yeah, fuck I Love it But you know what you know what

driving the car does for me It's an intentional imagination because I begin to think about things randomly and Emergingly things happen. So my first is what would Jack what would Jackie Chan do? He reaches out to the thing that's within reach that he can grab to solve the problem And mine is to sit here and fucking turn away at it or grab the car It's very simple and and I'm weak hex deck. I'm weak. I'm weak. I'm weak. I'm weak. I'm not like you If I were upstairs if my office was upstairs Now and I get stuck I'm too fucking lazy to grab the keys to go downstairs the garage So I knew that I needed to spend time in the office I built it's not being such a vagina pansy sitting in air conditioned You know office on the on the second level What

a fucking vagina? I You know I because because I'm too lazy I'm too weak So I'd rather I'd sit there or then I'd just lay down or something like that be lazy Seriously I'm too weak guys Number one, what would Jackie Chan do? So I need to be within reach that's that's why I needed to use this office that I built as an office But I just was too fucking lazy to finish it So now we sit in here and everything that inspires me can get me going within reach guys within reach That's my Jackie Chan My second is my second is Lee Roy fucking Jenkins if you don't know who Lee Roy Jenkins is I pity the fool You are an ignorant individual of social Important ideas within the gaming community So my second is Lee Roy Jenkins This motherfucker He so you know

was too fucking lazy to finish it So now we sit in here and everything that inspires me can get me going within reach guys within reach That's my Jackie Chan My second is my second is Lee Roy fucking Jenkins if you don't know who Lee Roy Jenkins is I pity the fool You are an ignorant individual of social Important ideas within the gaming community So my second is Lee Roy Jenkins This motherfucker He so you know I look at there's there's more than just the the end accent, you know action itself It's the buildup motherfucker was busy grinding And you know what he was grinding on He was grinding on that food he got chicken Motherfucker was busy grinding grinding Eating that chicken getting ready for the battle Doing what he knows needs to really be done is to be fucking fed not talk about

statistics and About and about 33.33 repeating of course percent chance of success and Making sure that that we a we everything and we make sure that we fireball everything and put up divine shield and shit We and and and put you know DPS on on on on the dragon welps and make sure that our a o e healing Gets popped off at the right time and make sure that these brothers somehow get the gear that they want to get Brother gate got no time for that nonsense this motherfucker doing the thing that really is important, which is eat So he's sitting there eating and you know what he says he said chumps up. Let's do this It's like I'm fucking eating. What are y'all been doing? I'm fucking grinding on The most important thing that I need to do right now, which is fucking eat

because before battle all those plans Don't mean shit They don't mean shit all your plans all your plans And you put down on paper and that's that's all shit when it comes to real life guys things change So sometimes instead of planning, which is what we don't do a lot around here guys I'll be honest with you we do a lot of lee royal jenkins shit We got up we go up and say we go fucking lee royal fucking Jenkins guys. Let's do it. I don't need to think about it I just need to eat and get ready to code because we're gonna build some shit here We're gonna build a module. We're gonna build a feature. We're gonna build a function. I don't eat I don't need to overanalyze it. I don't need to get into analysis paralysis. So when I'm stuck in my

imagination I just sometimes you just gotta lee royal Jenkins it and you're not gonna come out on scarred trust me You all you always come out scarred and so this is an intentional act that I that helped me get unstuck within my imagination with what I'm trying to do It's I say you know what? This is gonna hurt but I probably need to do it anyway and I do a lot of that and it's not just oh I'm just gonna start coding and I might forget eating or something or I might forget sleeping Which happens a lot, but I lee royal Jenkins through some shit at night It's the harder ones Should I go to this conference should I fly out to the city should I pick up this client should I have this call? Is it worth it is it worth it is I

I do a lot of that and it's not just oh I'm just gonna start coding and I might forget eating or something or I might forget sleeping Which happens a lot, but I lee royal Jenkins through some shit at night It's the harder ones Should I go to this conference should I fly out to the city should I pick up this client should I have this call? Is it worth it is it worth it is I don't know Most of the time I don't know So sometimes I just gotta say what would lee royal do? Well lee royal would eat and so I eat and I choose the lee royal path I eat grandma smoothie get some motherfucking blueberry juice And I just go okay, we're taking the flight John John's on the fucking chat He can attest to this when I was in California

I was on my last leg and and and and John was like hey, dude I need you to fly back up to fucking San Francisco from San Diego Well, he didn't say I need to he said you know, we had discussion about it That's like fuck man. I'm just motherfucking riding this fucking train all up in this motherfucker Flight's all up in this bitch Man, you don't need to be there Man, you're right. I don't need to be there it's like Then I'm then I then I told John's like I should be there You know what I don't know if this is gonna be worth a damn getting this 800 fucking dollar ticket last minute to go fucking So I went One of powerful conversations guys in that coffee shop with my brother flying last minute straight up from San Diego through LA to San

Francisco shook the hands of the men Guys, which you'll know soon but shook the hands of the men Who have gotten us into Korean Japan? We're playing with the big dogs now guys. We're playing with the big dogs So was it worth it? I'm so fucking lootly, but if I had chosen if I had chosen a different avatar in That situation it might have turned out differently. I don't know. I think I sometimes just need to leave Roy shit So my first is Jackie Chan the second person I go to is is Lee Roy what would Lee Roy Jenkins do? You saddle up and you just execute You saddle up and you just execute You Yeah, that's exactly what it is. It's Yolo active block. It's just you know what? I don't know I don't there's no need to plan at this particular point in

time It's probably just better to learn on the fly Which is what all of you guys have done don't lie all of you guys have done in your life your first job you didn't know shit You know what you did you yolo that shit You yolo that shit And you know what guys leave Roy Jenkins doesn't always work out You know what happened he fucking killed everybody So so understand that you're gonna get burned is is the pragmatic reality within this you know this number two The pragmatic reality is if you leave Roy Jenkins expect some battle scars Expect to get hurt expect to to to go beyond usual limits because it's gonna stretch you because you're you're basically just running into the unknown Whaling your you know flailing your sword and and flashing your shield hoping that you don't get fucking eaten You know

So so understand that you're gonna get burned is is the pragmatic reality within this you know this number two The pragmatic reality is if you leave Roy Jenkins expect some battle scars Expect to get hurt expect to to to go beyond usual limits because it's gonna stretch you because you're you're basically just running into the unknown Whaling your you know flailing your sword and and flashing your shield hoping that you don't get fucking eaten You know what my third is Uh My third is ballrog from Street Fighter Now what now why would I choose ballrog for Street Fighter? Because this motherfucker is the guy that I played with in tournaments back in the day That was a ballrog but ballrog in sagging Street Fighter. I mean ever since evo ever since evo was it What you was it man Fuck 2001 No, no, no anyway,

I Mean I could go back in the gaming history, but I'm not gonna go there But what would ballrog do? Barg is the boxer and he just wants to get paid That's all he wants to do he wants to get paid and this guy Let me let me analyze his character this guy has through every iteration of the Street Fighter series He has moves that allow him to take punches to the face and keep on going That's his that's his unique. That's his truly unique character trait is that that he He'll he will take punches to the face And he will take damage But he is he is sorted out his game This motherfucker has his built himself as a tank But you might say you know, you could say it could be like zan geef or teahawk if you want to go back to

those days or Or the newest character in Street Fighter's you know five the big motherfucker for how does name? He say they take damage to no these guys are dumb animals Barg is Barrog is not dumb. He might he might sound ignorant. I can give you that But he's not dumb. He is chosen. He is chosen this profession consider the context He's an Xboxer if he was really good at boxing He can make a lot of money boxing Right if you was good at boxing he can be the best he can make a lot of money But he keeps telling us that he's in it for the money So you know what the boxing ring is too small The boxing no no you completely get it wrong Florida water. He's not a man. He's not a masochist He's I'm building up. He's not a masochist

miss and the fundamental side of ball rug is He ultimately like Roo Like some of the more more Ethically and morally aligned with with with goodness and greatness and gracious and and humility Like we like any of those characters like Ryu he's actually at the highest level playing thinking as Ryu is Ryu is in the game to challenge himself to find out what he's made of within the ultimate fighting championship That's what ball rug is to but he's also a pragmatist and he realizes and I'm digging the I'm digging deeper guys But I've thought about this a lot these are my muses Ball rug realizes that not only is the pond that he's into small he has to go into the bigger pond But he's a pragmatist and he knows the money is there if he does successfully and what he does successfully is he

builds his body like a tank So he withstand the blows so he can last and survive longer than everyone else He has built himself that's the point guys. He is intentionally built himself To withstand the blows that will come when you're trying to be something greater than yourself And so that's my ball rug. That's that's my that's my third.
