It's me, the M, the I, the K to the E, hailing from the D, the Y to the T that's the abbreviation for the city called Dayton and I'm sending you good sensations and vibrations. And remember, I'm just saying I want to talk to you today from the subject of all stars. All stars, this weekend was the NBA All Star weekend. There were things such as the three point shootout, the slam dunk contest, as well as the All Star game. It's amazing, when you're playing at a very high and hard level, the people vote you in as an All Star. And All Star player is different. They're nothing like anyone else and I say this with the most respect. They're nothing like the ordinary player. The All Star is taking it up every night. The All Star has to carry the team. The All Star will. The All Star is always at a very extreme high level and a lot of times it's funny. There are people who are saying you do too much, you go too far, you go too high. But the thing is is you're an All Star, and All Star level is just completely pardon the cheesy joke or cheesy pun, but it's a different galaxy in a different world. And it's funny because right now that's you. You're so obsessed with something, you're so obsessed with greatness. You're pushing it to a high level. And you're pushing it to a high level in many things. You're pushing it in your education, your schooling, your fitness, your work. You're just doing so so much. And there are people that are sitting there like man, why are they going this hard? It doesn't take all that, and they will even sit down and have the nerve to try to talk to you about your frenetic pace that you're going at and try to make suggestions. And the funny thing about that is that some of the people are already at the levels, or have been to the levels, that you were trying to get to, and yet they try to tell you to slow down. I'll give you an example. There are people who are older who will say, well, you don't need to, don't? You think you need to not do this? It's like, no, I don't think that I don't need to do it. You think that I don't need to do it because you couldn't do it. And there are certain people who will try to put their limitations on you and say, oh man, you can't do that, you shouldn't do that. It's not that you can't and shouldn't do that. It's just that they can't do it.

You're an all star, so it's time to take it up to the all star level and be that all star that you are. You're passing the ball just a little too much. You know what you're doing. You're just sitting there having a good time and you're like, okay, well, I could take over, but I don't want anyone to get upset, I don't want to rock the boat, so I'll just blend in and go along to get along. No, you don't need to do that. You need to be that all star that you are meant to be, and it's funny because this reminds me of some of my friends when they played 2K.

Speaker 1: 3:13

There's always somebody who may be taking it too far, maybe shooting the ball when they shouldn't pass in the ball at a weird time. But let me just tell you this right now, right here, you're the all star. You're cradling that person. You're acting as if, oh man, yeah, well, I don't want to do that. I don't want to rock the boat, but notice how, when you start splashing those shots, how your team starts winning. Notice how the people are secretly having meetings after the meeting telling you about how well you handled the situation and they don't want to pass the ball to the other person.

Speaker 1: 3:50

Well, just remember, you're a perennial all star and to continue, excuse me to keep playing that way. And even there's all star coaches Some of you are all star coaches giving your friends advice. You have once again come into the land of my belief, a place that makes Emerald City look like a pile of green rocks. Never, never, land, wish that never existed at all and wonderland, wonder why it was created in the first place. I encourage you to dream like you, live forever and live like you'll die. Today I win.
