I'm Patrick, better be your host of Vite Tame, and today I'm going to share with you why
00:00:20.160
you should focus on the bigger picture instead of the smaller things.

The moment you make a decision to raise your standards in your life or do something big,
00:00:30.940
Let me explain to you what I mean by you're going to start feeling guilty.
00:00:35.500
The people around you are going to make you feel guilty.
00:00:37.880
Your friends, your family, your girlfriend, every single time I've risen my own standards
00:00:43.440
for any aspect of my life, it didn't matter what it was, it's made certain people unhappy.
00:00:49.200
Let me tell you how confusing of a feeling this is.
00:00:51.860
When you feel guilty, you'll be by yourself, and the people you love the most and care about
00:00:57.160
the most are making you feel guilty, you'll say, maybe, maybe they're right.
00:01:01.460
Maybe, maybe I'm just being too focused right now, or maybe I'm too determined right now,
00:01:07.180
or maybe that's not good for my health, and maybe, maybe, maybe they're right.
00:01:12.100
Maybe I shouldn't raise my standards to this level.
00:01:17.900
And that guilt, if you allow it, ooh, man, you'll be guilty as charged.
00:01:24.880
I'm just telling you, you will feel so guilty that they'll get you.
00:01:29.980
Every single time I've run a company for many, many, many years now, every time I've risen
00:01:37.260
the standards, people have made me feel guilty that maybe I'm raising it too high.
00:01:44.580
Maybe I expect a little bit too much from the people that I fully believe in.
00:01:50.840
Maybe I challenge my home office team a little bit too much.
00:01:53.660
Maybe I'm too edgy, and I expect everybody to step up and man up and woman up.
00:01:59.460
Maybe I'm a little too demanding on what I want the team to be doing because of our vision
00:02:05.180
that we have in place and how important of a crusade that we have is in place.
00:02:08.020
And then when I get to myself and I'm by myself and I go to that single second that I'm starting
00:02:14.560
to doubt my standards, my vision, how big I'm thinking, I get back to and I ask the one
00:02:22.360
question, hey, PVD, what were you put on this planet to do?
00:02:33.080
You almost died multiple times when they bombed on your house right down the street from you.
00:02:36.880
That could have fallen on your house that night, and you'd be dead.
00:02:40.300
Or you lived out of a refugee camp, you got stabbed one time, made it through that, came
00:02:44.460
to the States, lived in Glendale, went to school.
00:02:49.940
You go to the army, you come out, and then all of a sudden, one day, you get obsessed with
00:02:54.760
this level of entrepreneurship and capitalism, and you visualize what the world can do if they
00:03:06.480
So, don't let the world make you feel guilty when you decide to raise the standards, and
00:03:12.880
you start to think big, and you have a clear vision of what you see is out there for the
00:03:23.280
Enough of them will buy into it, and those who buy into it will be there at the promised
00:03:28.680
land when the prophecy, you know, is fulfilled.
