00:00:00.000 Long time ago a friend of mine talked to me about lighthouses and tugboats. In life when we learn and
00:00:05.580 get better we can either run around and tell everybody oh you got to work out, you got to
00:00:10.700 stop drinking, you got to start a business, you got to start reading books and that's the tugboat
00:00:15.300 mentality. What I recommend is that we want to be the lighthouse because we don't want to alienate
00:00:20.520 other people because it's their journey. What we want to do is be an example of possibility. We
00:00:25.820 want to stand like a lighthouse that acts as an example for where land is to help other people
00:00:32.140 avoid some of the challenges we've gone through because there are people in your life that look
00:00:36.900 at you and you influence you may not even realize. Be the lighthouse. Become the person who has more
00:00:42.760 to give. Be more resourceful. Be an example because the people in your life that are paying attention
00:00:47.980 are going to at some point if you ask in a way that's not judgmental and not frustrating for
00:00:52.820 them, they're going to say yes, and you will have the opportunity to show up, but if you
00:00:56.780 don't do the work, you'll mess it up.
