Transcript

00:00:00.160 What if I told you life is filled with contradictions, and I'm going to give you one today that you're
00:00:03.240 going to say, Pat, this one's confusing, but damn, I am so fired up at the end that I want
00:00:09.180 to take over the world and share this video with everybody I know.
00:00:12.640 And if I'm right, give it a thumbs up, subscribe, and share it with people that you know.
00:00:17.000 So let me get right into it.
00:00:18.000 This past weekend, my two boys decide to watch Batman.
00:00:21.280 Not only Batman Begins, not only Dark Knight, but Dark Knight Rises, and now they want to
00:00:25.920 go watch the most recent Batman that came out.
00:00:27.480 So we're sitting there, and I get off of Zoom, I come in, and we're watching Dark Knight
00:00:31.720 Rises.
00:00:33.020 And it's the scene with Bane where Bruce is stuck in that cave, and they're looking up
00:00:38.580 with all these prisoners, and he can't get out.
00:00:41.820 And he's running, running, running, the guy puts the rope around him, he falls.
00:00:44.800 He's running, running, running, the guy puts the rope around him, they do the chant.
00:00:47.480 And he says, what's the chant, rise, rise, rise, he falls.
00:00:51.360 So there's this last one that he does, and he's going up there, he tries to jump to grab
00:00:54.940 the cliff, grab the other side, and he falls.
00:00:58.400 And one of the men says to him, he says, just stop trying.
00:01:02.180 He says, what do you mean stop trying?
00:01:03.940 He says, you're not going to do it.
00:01:04.940 He says, what do you mean I'm not going to do it?
00:01:06.940 He says, you're just not.
00:01:07.940 He says, but how did the child do it?
00:01:09.780 If the child can do it, how come I can't do it?
00:01:12.120 He says, there's a big difference.
00:01:13.180 He says, what's the difference?
00:01:14.700 He says, the child didn't grow up with the life of luxuries that you did.
00:01:19.300 You grew up with too many luxuries.
00:01:21.080 You don't have to do this.
00:01:22.700 The child had nothing to lose.
00:01:25.220 The child had to get out of this place, because this child didn't have a life of luxuries.
00:01:30.320 And he's like, well, I'm going to train.
00:01:32.140 I'm going to do this.
00:01:33.140 I'm going to train.
00:01:34.140 So he starts doing push-ups.
00:01:35.140 He starts doing sit-ups.
00:01:36.140 And it's the scene.
00:01:37.140 He's doing sit-ups.
00:01:38.140 And I'm going to do this.
00:01:39.140 And I'm going to do this.
00:01:40.140 And he goes.
00:01:41.140 He's like, I'm ready.
00:01:42.140 Put the rope around him.
00:01:43.140 Goes up.
00:01:44.140 Boom.
00:01:45.140 He jumps.
00:01:46.140 He falls again.
00:01:47.140 He's super discouraged.
00:01:48.140 And a man to his left who's blind starts talking to him.
00:01:52.620 And it's one of the most profound scenes of that entire movie.
00:01:56.400 And here's what he said.
00:01:58.200 So the blind prisoner, you're looking at the face of the blind prisoner, says to him, you
00:02:01.960 do not fear death.
00:02:04.220 You think this makes you strong.
00:02:06.480 It actually makes you weak.
00:02:08.120 Bruce Wayne says, why?
00:02:10.440 He says, how can you move faster than possible?
00:02:14.820 Fight longer than possible without the most powerful impulse of the spirit.
00:02:19.220 The fear of death.
00:02:20.720 Bruce Wayne says, I do fear death.
00:02:23.920 I fear dying here while my city burns.
00:02:27.480 And there's no one there to save it.
00:02:30.020 Blind prisoner.
00:02:31.100 Then make the climb.
00:02:32.640 Bruce Wayne.
00:02:33.640 How?
00:02:35.640 Blind prisoner.
00:02:36.640 You ready?
00:02:37.640 As the child did, without the rope.
00:02:42.240 Then fear will find you again.
00:02:44.240 I'm watching this scene.
00:02:48.160 I'm like, oh my God.
00:02:50.300 I have the chills all over my body.
00:02:52.360 I haven't seen this movie for the longest time.
00:02:53.820 And the message just hits me.
00:02:54.820 Boom.
00:02:55.820 Right?
00:02:56.820 And I'm like, oh my God.
00:03:01.160 Then you see him going.
00:03:03.380 And he goes.
00:03:04.380 And the guy hands him the rope.
00:03:05.380 They want the rope.
00:03:06.380 Rise.
00:03:07.380 Rise.
00:03:08.380 They're doing the chant in their own language.
00:03:10.280 He goes all the way to the top.
00:03:11.940 And it's the jump that he's got to make.
00:03:13.880 He's so afraid.
00:03:15.420 Because if he doesn't make the jump, he's going to die.
00:03:17.880 So guess what that fear does to him?
00:03:19.780 It makes him jump in a real way.
00:03:22.620 Like a real, real effort.
00:03:24.200 Because he knows.
00:03:25.600 If you don't make the jump, it's the fear of death, baby.
00:03:28.420 You're going to die.
00:03:29.700 That's what's going to happen.
00:03:30.980 He jumps.
00:03:31.980 He makes it.
00:03:32.980 Climbs.
00:03:33.980 Goes over.
00:03:34.980 Throws the rope over to the prisoners.
00:03:36.980 And he leaves.
00:03:37.980 And goes and saves the city.
00:03:38.980 What does this have to do with you?
00:03:41.980 Well, the message to me is, I'm having this conversation with one of our guys, George, and a couple of
00:03:46.980 other guys.
00:03:47.980 And I'm saying, listen, you guys think I'm not afraid?
00:03:49.980 You don't think I'm afraid?
00:03:50.980 And one of our guys says, Pat, I've seen you speak from stage.
00:03:53.600 I've seen you in a lot of weird meetings.
00:03:54.980 I've never seen you be afraid.
00:03:55.980 I said, dude, I'm more scared than you are.
00:03:58.980 How could you say that?
00:03:59.980 I said, I guarantee you I'm more scared than you are.
00:04:01.980 I don't understand this part.
00:04:02.980 Explain it to me.
00:04:03.980 I said, let me explain to you what I'm about.
00:04:04.980 I'm more scared than you are.
00:04:06.980 So, I'll unpack it for you.
00:04:08.980 So, I'm 23 years old, single.
00:04:11.980 And relationships not working out.
00:04:14.980 And I ask a weird question because I wanted to get married.
00:04:17.980 I'm like, I'm not ready.
00:04:18.980 I said, would you let your daughter marry a 23 year old like you today?
00:04:22.980 I said, no way.
00:04:23.980 Okay.
00:04:24.980 So, why don't you realize if you don't do something about your life, your daughter is probably
00:04:29.980 going to marry a guy like you because she's going to settle.
00:04:32.980 Do you know what that does to me?
00:04:33.980 That fear?
00:04:34.980 I can't even tell you what that fear does to me.
00:04:36.980 There is no way my daughter is going to settle.
00:04:38.980 My daughter is going to marry somebody that she loves.
00:04:40.980 That's her choice.
00:04:41.980 She may settle with a guy, but it's not because of her daddy.
00:04:43.980 It's going to be her choice.
00:04:44.980 That created a level of urgency around going, going, going, going.
00:04:49.980 I'll give you another crazy one.
00:04:50.980 You're going to think I'm crazy, but I'm being open with you and transparent with you.
00:04:53.980 You know this whole idea about sleepovers that Americans do?
00:04:56.980 Like, hey, well, let's go do a sleepover.
00:04:58.980 I don't like sleepovers.
00:04:59.980 There's only one house you're going to sleep over.
00:05:01.980 It's my house.
00:05:02.980 We ain't doing no sleepovers at your house.
00:05:04.980 Pat, that's kind of your contrary hypocrite.
00:05:07.980 Isn't that kind of like a hypocrite?
00:05:08.980 Let me explain to you what I mean by this.
00:05:10.980 I sat there and I said, I want to have a place where my friends, my kids' friends come to
00:05:16.980 our place.
00:05:17.980 Because I can trust if you're going to come to our place.
00:05:19.980 And I'll set it up nice, safe and everything, security and everything.
00:05:22.980 Because I'm paranoid because I was born and raised in Iran.
00:05:25.980 And in Iran, we were afraid of what they're going to do to your kids.
00:05:28.980 That fear makes me work double time to have that place to provide that privacy and security
00:05:34.980 to my kids.
00:05:35.980 Sounds weird, but that fear created urgency.
00:05:38.980 I'll give you another fear.
00:05:39.980 One of my biggest fears, maybe all the way at the top.
00:05:41.980 And this one would get me emotional at any time.
00:05:43.980 You know, I feared my dad dying.
00:05:45.980 I feared my dad dying without my kids meeting my dad.
00:05:48.980 Oh my God.
00:05:49.980 That gets me very emotional.
00:05:50.980 I was so afraid of my dad dying without my kids meeting him and have a relationship with
00:05:55.980 him.
00:05:56.980 Because I don't have a relationship with his dad.
00:05:57.980 My grandpa died when I was born.
00:05:59.980 Never met this man.
00:06:00.980 So I said, okay, what happens if dad dies working at a 99 cent store stressed out because
00:06:05.980 he doesn't have the money?
00:06:06.980 That created such a level of urgency and that fear got me to move.
00:06:10.980 Well, you know where my dad lives right now?
00:06:12.980 First floor of my house.
00:06:13.980 You know how fun I see him right now?
00:06:15.980 Every time I'm home, he's got his room.
00:06:17.980 By the water, on the water.
00:06:19.980 He does whatever he wants.
00:06:20.980 And I'm very happy.
00:06:22.980 But that fear drove me.
00:06:23.980 I can't go on it.
00:06:24.980 Why are you such a capitalist?
00:06:26.980 It's based on fear.
00:06:28.980 Based on me wanting to stay free and my kids staying free.
00:06:31.980 So going back to you, obviously this is a movie, but you have your own cave you're
00:06:37.980 living in.
00:06:38.980 You got your own cave.
00:06:40.980 You got your own cave.
00:06:42.980 And you keep trying to escape this cave, but you keep using that rope.
00:06:47.980 And you don't realize it's the reason why you're not getting out.
00:06:50.980 That rope is the number one.
00:06:52.980 Do you see how emotional this is?
00:06:53.980 You know what that rope is.
00:06:55.980 I know you know what that rope is.
00:06:57.980 But you can't get out of this cave.
00:06:59.980 It's a limiting belief.
00:07:00.980 It's a literal insurance policy.
00:07:02.980 It's what if?
00:07:03.980 What if I get fired?
00:07:04.980 What if I get this?
00:07:05.980 And it's holding you back.
00:07:06.980 And you ain't giving your best at your company, at the job, at the...
00:07:08.980 Whatever you're doing.
00:07:09.980 Because you're afraid.
00:07:10.980 What if?
00:07:11.980 So you don't commit.
00:07:12.980 What if marriage?
00:07:13.980 What if relationship?
00:07:14.980 What if this?
00:07:15.980 It's the rope.
00:07:17.980 That prisoner, the blind prisoner is right.
00:07:20.980 And it's holding you back.
00:07:22.980 So, what do you got to do?
00:07:24.980 Be afraid again.
00:07:26.980 Start being scared.
00:07:28.980 Be more scared that if you die, and it's just a regular life.
00:07:33.980 25 people show up to your funeral.
00:07:35.980 And then a year later, a couple people show up.
00:07:37.980 Five years later, nobody ever comes to your plot ever again.
00:07:40.980 And you're forgotten.
00:07:41.980 That's scary.
00:07:42.980 That should scare the shit out of you, if you think about it that way.
00:07:46.980 Because that scares the crap out of me.
00:07:48.980 Scares the crap out of me.
00:07:49.980 I don't think the man upstairs put me here to just play small.
00:07:53.980 Neither you.
00:07:54.980 So, like I told you, this is a heavy message.
00:07:58.980 If you felt the message and you're willing to receive it, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, and share this message and feeling with people around you.
00:08:05.980 Because maybe this message is exactly what they need to hear.
00:08:09.980 And the video I recommend you to watch is a message I gave, probably a month ago or so, on the message of Will vs Want.
00:08:14.980 If you've not seen it, it has a lot to do with exactly what I just talked about in this video.
00:08:19.980 Click here to watch that video.
00:08:20.980 Take care, everybody.
00:08:21.980 Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye.
