Hey guys, I want to tell you that this video is sponsored by Bel-AIR on Peacock and the overall message of making the most out of your life and the opportunities that come your way.

I have studied personal growth for a decade, read thousands of books and I'd like to explain my main insight.

Modal verbs - B1

This might sound strange but it is my greatest advice.

The quickest, most efficient way to change your life...

Is to change your life, rearrange your life, architect your existence.

If you plant a seed and it doesn't grow, no matter how much you try and toil, you mustn't blame the seed because the fault lies with the soil.

I visited the graveyard not too long ago and as I walked around that cemetery, I noticed something.

On every tombstone, every single one, there's two things: A birthday and the death date.

And then I realized that our lives are very existences are summed up totally encompassed in that line between the B and the D.

Maybe that's why they call it a lifeline.

Because our life is that line, and if our lives are in between the letter B and the letter D, in that joint...

Now look, I'm not here to preach about life after death.

I want to talk about something more important.

Because from cradle to grave, your life is the sum total of every choice you have ever made.

And according to some scientists, the average person makes 35,000 choices per day.

Because if people made that many conscious choices every day, their lives will be different.

And most people are so asleep with their head down moving so fast that they don't see that their "choices" are being made on their behalf.

Do you know the number one predictor for how long you're gonna live?

Is it A. blood pressure B. exercise or C. genes?

New research shows the best predictor for how long you're gonna live is not your genetic code.

Where you live, decides how long you live.

Because your opportunity determines your possibilities.

See life, is not like a box of chocolates.

It's more like a restaurant and your choices are limited to what's on the menu.

I'm saying if you want to eat the real food of life, you must have the courage to order off the menu.

Change your environment, escape your comfort zone.

Sometimes you gotta cut the finger to save the arm.

Sometimes you gotta cut friends out of your life and it will be sad.

But you must hang with people with a common future, not just a common past.

Don't even be concerned, cause as they say, sometimes you win and sometimes you learn.

This I can confirm second chances do exist.

I don't care what you did in those streets.

Decide on a new path, and when your time comes, I pray in the middle of your B and D.

Thank you Peacock for sponsoring this video.

I want you guys to check out Bel-Air, which tells an important story about the power of second chances.

Do not let the opportunity that comes your way disappear.
