The thing is, experiences are things that help you feel alive. They are things that help you grow inside. But you see, a lot of times what happens is with experiences, we tend to say no right off the bat.
My name is Kenyon Salo, and I get to skydive into the Denver Broncos home games and land on the field in front of 75,000 people. I wanted to be able to jump into the stadium, and I wanted to do a bucket list item, and I wanted to be on that team.
You see, creating experiences is about doing something that is a challenge to you. If you ever feel stuck and you need to get going, you create an experience. How many of you guys have gone skydiving? Raise your hand. Just raise your hand. That's awesome. Everybody look around at all the people making bad life decisions.
It's possible. Fear is the thing that keeps you from doing what you want to do. If you have ever have had fear, raise your hand. Keep it up. Raise your hand. Everybody look around. See, you're not the only one. Change doesn't happen unless pain exceeds fear.
You want to expand your career, you want to expand your business, you want to expand your personal life, dreams die there. Because your environment is so strong, it keeps you from your willpower. Your environment wants to keep you safe. All the time it's like, "Don't start that new business, you'll lose a lot of Don't start that relationship, you'll break your Don't go skydiving, you'll probably >> Die.
What? >> You've got the bucket list item. You've got it. It's right there in your head. I want you to go do it in the next 12 months. Yes? No? You guys are like, "Wait. Whoa. 12 months. You don't have time. You don't have money. You have responsibilities, you have fear around us. We've already talked about this. But the thing is is that at the end of the day, we are all on a level playing field.
It doesn't matter whether I jump out of airplanes or you drive super super safe to work. None of us knows if we have a tomorrow. Every one of us knows somebody who didn't. When someone says, "Why don't you do something?" you say, "Yes."
What do you say? What do you say? One more time. What do you say? And you let the how figure itself out later. You let the how figure itself out later because it will work every single time.
We went into a nursing home and we asked four questions. Every individual in their aging years said the thing that made them most happy is when they helped another human being. When we help others without the expectation of return, everything you desire will come back tenfold. And whether it's your bank account or the bottom line in your business, I promise you that those numbers are merely a scorekeeper that reflect the number of people that you've helped in your life.
When you say yes, and you focus on others first, it can make a ripple effect around the world long after you're gone. I want you to think about what your legacy is. What are you going to do today?
Are you ready? THANK YOU, YOU GUYS. YOU'RE TRULY AMAZING. Thank you so much.
