Sean Michael Crane's Unstoppable Mindset
RIP Charlie Kirk 🙏💔
Death has a way of stopping us in our tracks, forcing us to confront what truly matters. After learning about Charlie Kirk's shocking death, I found myself overwhelmed with emotion and struck by a familiar, uncomfortable question: If I had known his time was so short, would I have lived differently?
This moment of tragedy serves as a powerful reminder about the fragility of life and how easily we become disconnected from what matters most. We get caught up in traffic frustrations, minor inconveniences, and daily stresses while neglecting the relationships and purposes that give our lives meaning. We assume there will always be more time—more hugs with our children, more moments with our spouse, more opportunities to pursue our dreams and make our mark on the world.
I've been here before. When I sat in that jail cell facing a life sentence, everything suddenly came into focus. I made a promise that if given a second chance, I would live all-in from that moment forward. Yet even with that hard-earned wisdom, I still catch myself slipping back into old patterns, taking precious moments for granted. That's why these wake-up calls, though painful, are so necessary. They remind us to analyze our lives with brutal honesty: Are we present enough for our families? Are we procrastinating on our purpose? Are we standing for something meaningful, even when it's difficult? The world needs people willing to fight the good fight—individuals committed to living with intention and courage. Your family needs it. Your community needs it. And deep down, your soul needs it too. Don't wait for tragedy to remind you what matters most.
You see someone who lived like Charlie Kirk and you gotta go, man. That guy was all in on his purpose. He died for his purpose. He put himself in harm's way every day to speak a message. We still all get caught going through the motions and focused on stuff and then all of a sudden you're stressed about things and life circumstances and before we know it, sometimes we get disconnected and then someone passes away and it puts everything in perspective. I want to take a minute to address Charlie Kirk passing away. Man. Charlie Kirk was a really controversial person in the spotlight, someone who I respected and admired immensely, and I just found out that he passed away from being shot at an event he was speaking at in Utah. And I just saw Charlie Kirk speak two weeks ago at Wind the Storm in Dallas. I was there, I was right in the room with him and the first thought I had when he passed away went to his wife and his children, being a father and a family man. Like it's emotional, it's sad when you see somebody who's taken too early man, somebody. It's emotional, it's sad when you see somebody who's taken too early man, somebody who's done a lot of good to wake people up and speak a truth that not a lot of people understood or believed in. But he stood for something that he felt his heart was right and you got to respect a man that does that. But you know, the first thing I thought about after his family and just in disbelief, was, um, how I was just in a room with him two weeks ago. I was just in the room with him two weeks ago and I thought to myself, if I knew Charlie Kirk was going to be shot to death, would I have acted differently? Of course I would have. I would have went and warned him and told him. But I mean, like here's the point, you guys we take people and life for granted. You take your wife and your children for granted. Every day, when stress and bullshit and your phone and things that don't matter grab your attention, this is where my mind goes. I start analyzing myself and go am I taking people for granted? Am I taking this precious life with these opportunities for granted? Am I doing enough to give back, to help people to reach my potential? You know, you see, someone who lived like Charlie Kirk and you got to go. Man, that guy was all in on his purpose. He died for his purpose. He put himself in harm's way every day to speak a message and a truth that the American public and the younger generation desperately needed to hear, because our country was going down such a nefarious path, with people being manipulated and lied to and turned against each other. And my heart is broken. I feel very saddened and rattled and emotional right now because I truly, you know I respected Charlie Kirk and I shared his values. I saw what he was doing for our country and, in time, when nobody else was stepping up to speak this truth, he started going on these college campuses and he made it a mission to wake up the younger generation. And so now I'm sitting here, going. Am I doing enough? Am I showing up present enough for my family? Like this is what happened.
Speaker 1:When I went to prison, you guys, I analyzed my whole life and I realized, man, I had not been all in. I made excuses, I procrastinated, I took it for granted. We all do. We think we have more time. You think you have more hugs, more kisses, more time to walk your kids to school, more time to walk your kids to school, more time to hold your wife, more time to fulfill your dreams, whatever your goals are more time to lose your weight, more time to build your business, more time to care about people, more time to show others what you're capable of, your truest, best self. This is where I go when someone passes away. It puts things in perspective.
Speaker 1:I went through this when my dad passed my mom. I've had so many loved ones pass away in my life, early, beyond their their, their peak you know, before their peak, I should say, never reaching their potential. That's why I'm so driven every day to speak this truth and share my message, because I know pain, man, and I know loss. And I remember when I sat in my jail cell thinking my life was over. It all made sense to me, it all made sense. And then you know I got a second chance and I came home and I'm pursuing these goals and doing something productive with my life.
Speaker 1:But we still all get caught going through the motions and focused on stuff you know and then all of a sudden you're stressed about things and life circumstances and, before we know it, sometimes we get disconnected. And then someone passes away and it puts everything in perspective. You know the other day when you're mad about being in traffic or you were late or something on your phone or something with finances, your kid spilled milk or whatever it is. And we look back on those moments and go, damn, why did I let that get to me? Why did I let that steal the joy from my life? Why did I let that get me out of character? Why wasn't I more present at home? Why didn't I hold their hand more? Why didn't I hug them more? This is where I go with it, you know. I think about my own children. I think about the impact that I need to have on this life.
Speaker 1:I think about what we could all do, man, if we thought and felt this way every day collectively, together, not fighting each other, not seeing the things we don't have common, but coming together and connecting to be good human beings. You know, we're in a crazy time right now. The evil forces in this world are trying to win us over and we got to fight back. And the way you fight back is alignment with purpose, with truth, being a good person. You know being a good fucking person every day, and this is why getting up early and focusing on your personal development and reflecting on your life and thinking about who you're going to impact today and why it's important and who it's for. That's why this train of thought is so powerful.
Speaker 1:Man, I don't want to miss a moment. I don't want to let a day go by where I'm not all in. I don't want to look back with regrets. I don't want a loved one to pass away and wish that I could have done more to be a better person for them. But the truth is, a lot of people have that feeling when they lose individuals and they can never rebound from that. So this is just a message to you guys right, we can't change the past, but you could change the way you live from this moment going forward, and remember how you feel like when you realize that a loved one's passed away or someone that you respect and admire. It takes your breath away, it stops you in your tracks and you go gosh.
Speaker 1:You know, and for me, I always started thinking would I have done things differently if I'd known that they were going to go that quick? Would I have lived differently? And again, this is what prison did for me, because I lived the first half of my life carelessly. I lived carelessly, taking things for granted, making excuses and procrastinating, and I made a promise to myself and to God that if I got a second chance, I was going to live all in that moment forward for the rest of my life. And then I hear that Charlie Kirk got shot in the neck and he's dead. And immediately my mind goes to you know, I was in the room with that guy two weeks ago. Would I have lived differently had I known his time was short? And then I start analyzing the way I'm showing up for my wife and my kids and for you guys, and my message and my brand and my mission.
Speaker 1:And here's the thing, you guys, if we can all think that way every day and channel what's so important to us and this passion and this energy that God's gifted us in everything we do, with presence, with leadership, giving your best effort, being an example, we owe that man to society, to our children, to the world, to everybody that you come into contact with. You know so, honestly, man, I'm sad right now. I was going to go do a workout and I don't even know if I'm going to. I might just sit here and reflect and think and meditate and pray. You know, our country needs it, the people that get it, you know. For those of you that understand. You know what I'm saying. It's our job to go out and wake up other people that need to be brought into the light, that need to be, you know, helped man. We need to unite through these tragedies.
Speaker 1:But I just want to share that message because immediately you guys, I start thinking about am I doing enough? Am I present enough for my family? Am I pouring my heart and soul and my craft and this gift that God has given me? Am I taking things for granted? Am I lacking presence? Am I procrastinating on anything? Because when the door closes on your life, it's over. There's no do-overs. I got a second chance.
Speaker 1:I got spared from that life sentence in my jail cell and for me it's like I got to do more to give back to humanity. I got to do more to make an impact, and you know this is what it comes down to Like. Are you willing to give your life for what you believe in? Charlie Kirk just did. He gave his life to wake up millions of people who are now waking up millions and millions of people in the ripple effect there. That's a legacy, that's a life worth living and I want you guys to all think about. Are you doing your part? Are you all in? Are you being the leader your family needs? Are you leading yourself? Are you standing for something that's meaningful, that's purposeful? Are you fulfilling God's gift right by the way you live and who you're becoming? There's so much more that we could do together and right now the world needs us all to stand up and to be strong to fight that good fight. Man, I love you.
Speaker 1:Guys, say a prayer for Charlie Kirk's family, his freaking children, his wife, man, you know, but they're going to grow up hearing what a man their dad was, what a leader he was. In a time where there was a lot of cowards, he chose to be brave and courageous and speak his truth. And you know what? There's nothing more admirable than a man that's willing to stand his ground and speak his truth and back it up with action for what he believes in. God, put a purpose on your heart. The world, in this corrupt, negative energy, is going to try to steal it from you. And you got to fight every day, man. Fight this good fight every day for your children, for your community and for the world that needs you. Guys. Right, I love you. I'm here for anyone. If you want to talk. I'm going to keep leading and doing my part, man and um, I'm going to say some prayers right now, and I hope you do too.
