It's all fake the support that you think you have the security that you think you have the skills the abilities The strengths that you have you think these are your salvation. They're not all of this your wings of wax Your wings of wax can be taken away from you in a heartbeat I've 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 You know what happens when you are a mature individual and you're relatively self-aware You know what happens you are reminded of your failings you are reminded of the ways that you are incomplete You are reminded of more than your failings you're reminded of your weaknesses Because a self-aware person understands him or herself And guys, I'm not saying that I'm the most well-pressed in the world But brother

and sister I'll tell you it is easy for me to pick out my own flaws Today I want to talk with you guys about pride and There's this idea that has been kind of ruminating in my mind for a while now But I wanted to see if I could synthesize this idea of pride into something that I could communicate to you guys in about 15 to 20 minutes And what I came across and when I wrote down on my notes here When I how I how I formulated this idea is around The idea of forgetting and that pride what pride Really does what pride I believe in the heart of man what pride does exceptionally well is it casts a Shadow over your memory and and it's what pride does is it Helps you forget or may it not help you forget but it makes

you forget the good things in life It makes you forget where you are who you really are and What your value really is? You guys remember the books back in school you remember the books on pride right pride be for the fall any of you guys read Some of the Greek mythology back in the day in high school around Icarus remember Icarus The young lad who flew too close to the sun do you remember this story? If you don't remember I'll give you the TL DR It took too long did not read version Essentially Icarus wanted to fly it was every boys dream to fly he wanted to fly and he wanted to fly away From the island of Crete And so his father Dataless gave him wings they gave him wings and these wings were made out of feather and wax feather and wax

And it doesn't matter you already know the end of the story It doesn't matter how many times his father or his peers reminded him and warned him of The issue the risks of flying too close to the sun And so obviously the long story short of it is that Icarus did not heed the warnings of his fellow peers He did not heed the warnings of his father and he flow flew way too close to the sun The feathers burnt up the wax melted and he fell to his death in the waters below He drowned because of his pride Here's what I want you to think about when you think about this story of Icarus and the father Dataless and the wings of wax and feather What I want you to remember is that number one his father made this shit for him So if you

and he flow flew way too close to the sun The feathers burnt up the wax melted and he fell to his death in the waters below He drowned because of his pride Here's what I want you to think about when you think about this story of Icarus and the father Dataless and the wings of wax and feather What I want you to remember is that number one his father made this shit for him So if you remember from some of my previous Previous the podcast about like self-esteem maybe should go check that out It's your father's your parents who fucked you up And you go back and listen to that but his father made him these wings his father made him the feathers and the wax Any any any any any and Icarus did not heed the warnings don't go too close to the sun.

It'll melt you see Besides the whole idea that your parents fuck you up the real issue the real issue are the Are the wings made a feather and wax and that's what I want you to have in your mind right now You and I listener dear listener dear listener you and I have wings you and I have wings of feather and wax That's what it is You and I have wings of feather and wax.

What does pride forget pride forgets where you came from hasten I forget people where I came from the humble beginnings that I came from I came from nothing I don't need to explain this to you I don't need to explain this to anybody. I've ever explained it in other podcasts You should probably go back and understand the history behind me if you're so curious But if you're not curious, it don't matter. We all come from humble beginnings. You would naked,

bro You would naked sister come into this life and you was leaving this life exactly In your birthday suit naked with nothing Nothing that you have Nothing that you've achieved will go with you All the cars that you've owned all the houses that you've owned all the things that you built will be owned and operated by other people Pride forgets where you came from pride forgets that you are dependent on others you were dependent on others who contributed the question you have to ask yourself here Who contributed to your success who contributed from getting you out of your humble beginnings was it your mama your daddy your uncle your chingu your friend your colleague your boss Who was it who contributed where is the real credit do I think there's a fine line and I knew you could easily say that there's a fine line

with me between pride and confidence and self And self assertiveness right there's such a thin line there some people could say oh Peter you're pretty prideful Well, I wouldn't disagree with you But I would also say that I'm highly self-confident in my abilities to do anything I've told my I remember telling my wife just last night. I looked during the face and I said I could do anything And she nodded because she knows it's true So pride forgets pride forgets where you came from Harkin That you forget where you came from Do not forget where you came from you were nothing you think you're something now Your wings of wax my friends your wings of wax. Where's the real credit do Number two pride forgets family guys. I will raise my hand and be the first to admit to you This is one of my

greatest failings in life period It's fascinating the cycle of decay that I talk about how your parents fucked you up and how if you If any of your kids are fucked up. It is 100% your fault They spent more time with you than anybody else. It's your fault your kids are fucked up Okay, now I can but I can eat my own dog food here guys a family Is what pride forgets?

personal podcast I'm telling you guys as my limited and small audience that I am working on myself in a big way On my pride because pride forgets family My biggest failure I will admit it to you right now my biggest failures in family was when I was a traveling consultant Making millions of dollars a year for over 12 years. I Forfeited my family for the money. I Did I did I Did I can't ever get those 12 years back. I can't ever get them But golly I was I'm so happy that I made the decision to stay at home When my kids were born Golly God bless my wife suffered me Well, I suffered her I suffered her for the beginning years of her marriage the beginning years of our kids She left alone with two little knuckleheads while I was off gallivanting off into

Where's your place in eternity? You as a spec bro You as a spec girl

You are nothing in the span of eternity so get over yourself You was saying flesh and blood is me And you you know the great equal you know what I hate about And this will be just a little tidbit here.

I'm nothing I'm a spec I'm a vapor I'm a shadow. I'm merely a visage of a human When you have pride you forget God You forget to appreciate the unknown and the vast beyond that you are a part of Godly Wait the fuck up as I sit here and I look into my garage when I look outside my garage. I got the cicadas singing I can hear them but I only take up a A four

foot by not a four foot a two and a half maybe three foot by three foot area right now in terms of space if I stand up I'm not doing anything. I'm a nobody in the in the the vast expanse of beyond and the vast expanse of the unknown in the universe Did you forget your place? Did I forget my place? You think you're big shit because you got millions of followers You think you're big shit because you got lots of likes and lots of comments. None of that shit is real bro None of that shit is real pride forgets where you come from pride forgets family Pride forgets others and pride forgets God Don't be too busy in yourself So what's the antidote to pride? Well It has to start with self-awareness Being mature self-aware Being able to see outside yourself part of being

situationally aware and part of having mental maturity is to be able to look at situations without emotion To look at situations objectively and to look at yourself Realistically who are you? Are you the greatest shit since sliced bread or as you just pink inside like everybody else You see pride forgets the antidote is that the humble remember and today guys I remembered which is why I wrote this all down And I'm putting it on paper and then I'm podcasting it to you.
