9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: the day. But this week was a special week.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: TJ.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 3: Yes oh, I loved it. The Dalai Lama ninety years old.

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: He turned ninety a week ago. Obviously he has many

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 3: great quotes, but it was your idea last week, let's

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: just do a happy birthday week, if you will. Dalai Lama,

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: and you used all of his quotes and they were

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: all fantastic, but they were.

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: All so simple, they were and they have to do

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: with happiness, joy, compassion.

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: They all had a.

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Theme, and they're all literally aiming towards what I think

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: we're all hoping for in our lives, for all of

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: those things, right, And so he had so many quotes,

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: I figured we could fill a month worth of quotes

24
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: of the day. But at least a week's fold, So

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: that's how easy. Yeah, it would have actually just to know.

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: Just hey, let me just go into my Dalai Lama

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: like billfold of quotes, because he has so many to

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: choose from. But I hope that you all enjoy the

29
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: ones that we did choose this week.

30
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: I got to stop billfold.

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: Bill fold like a wallet full.

32
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 4: It's just all, are we dating ourselves?

33
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Billfol You're right, that does sound old billfold, And yeah,

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: that is a I don't know if i've heard bill fold. Wow,

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: I just dated myself. I was born in nineteen seventy three, y'all.

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: So for anyone else who was a child of the seventies,

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: maybe you two use the word billfold.

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: I don't know why that jumped out to me, but

39
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if the Dalai Lama used the billfold.

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: Well, he's ninety, so he might have. Well, obviously he

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: predated that.

42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: I don't even know.

43
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: I don't know any Again, he says he wants to

44
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: live until one hundred, one.

45
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Hundred and thirty thirty, so he thinks he still has

46
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: forty more years in him. And I love that positivity

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: will get you everywhere, So I would love to see

48
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: how far that gets.

49
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: Him years wise.

50
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 4: What do we have Monday?

51
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: What'd you have for yes Monday? He said this, Well,

52
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: this is what we said he said on Monday. This

53
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: was our quote of the day for Monday from the

54
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Dalai Lama. Every day, think as you wake up today,

55
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: I am fortunate to be alive. I have a precious

56
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: human life. I am not going to waste it. That's

57
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: a great way to start your Monday.

58
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: Just I would challenge everybody to really that quote, take

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: that write it down, just put it in your notes

60
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 3: in your iPhone, just for a week. Wake up and

61
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: make that the first thing you do is read that quote.

62
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: Won't you get off to a different start to your

63
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: day if that is your mindset when you start.

64
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: I love it again.

65
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: I said all of them were simple, but that is

66
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: just a simple message that hit home.

67
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: It does, and I actually would you know, we kind

68
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: of make fun of people who have too many sayings

69
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: or quotes on the wall. You go into Marshalls, you

70
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: go into TJ Max, you see these awesome no I

71
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: get it, like you know whatever it is like lake House,

72
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: like they've got all of these like fun little things

73
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: to hang up in your wall.

74
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: But they have sayings and quotes.

75
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: This is one that I actually would hang up right

76
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: by my bed to remember as I woke up every day.

77
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: So here is Monday's quote of the day. Every day

78
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: think as you wake up today. I am fortunate to

79
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: be alive. I have a precious human life. I am

80
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: not going to waste it.

81
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

82
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: I could hear it over and over again and it

83
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: still would actually motivate me more.

84
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so thank you for that.

85
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: On our Monday Tuesday, we moved on to another quote

86
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: from the Dalai Lama, and this one has to do

87
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: with love.

88
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: This one was spectacular.

89
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Love is the absence of judge. The more you are

90
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: motivated by love, the more fearless and free your action

91
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: will be.

92
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: Wait say the last part again. Wait wait wait wait.

93
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless

94
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: and free your action will be.

95
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 4: Okay, I got you now.

96
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: And just as a heads up here, folks, she is

97
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: only I'm being reminded of them, so I'm hearing them

98
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: almost for the first time again with you all, so

99
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 3: I am kind of taking them in again for the

100
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: first time. That last part, I guess kind of speaks

101
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 3: to me. What happens when you lead with love. What

102
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: if that's your first thought, your first action, your first

103
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: response to any situation is love. It changes a lot.

104
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: If you lead with love from the person that cuts

105
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 3: you off in traffic, if you lead with love from

106
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: the person who steps on your new shoes, all right,

107
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,119
Speaker 3: whatever thing you want to name scenario, that situation works

108
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: out differently and better if.

109
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, and if the person who you actually do

110
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: love or live with, or who you gave birth to

111
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: says something that is offensive, if you lead with love,

112
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: it actually does help you make the next best decision

113
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: because in the first part of this love is the

114
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: absence of judgment.

115
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: And isn't that the.

116
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: First thing we all want to do when somebody pisses

117
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: us off, whether we love them or know them or

118
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: they're complete strangers. You want to assume the worst. You

119
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: want to say, how dare you? Why would you ever?

120
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: And you start judging them. If you take the judgment

121
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: away and you're just curious, that must be hard, or

122
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: I wonder what kind of day he or she must

123
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: be having, or he must feel insecure or unloved or

124
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: unseen or unheard. In this moment, when you actually start

125
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,559
Speaker 1: to be curious about what's motivating the act of another

126
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: person that is causing you to feel anything but love

127
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: instead of judging them, if you try to understand them,

128
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: that is where actual love exists. And I know, like

129
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm kind of realizing this in the epiphany of speaking

130
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: it out loud, and it's not anything crazy, it's not

131
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: anything that we haven't thought of, that we aren't intellectually

132
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: aware of. But when you actually try to understand it,

133
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: like okay, instead of getting pissed, and if you feel

134
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: yourself getting pissed, stop yourself and go, wait, why am

135
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: I angry? And where are they coming from? That is

136
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: so hard to do in the moment, but if you

137
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: can do it.

138
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: That is love, is it not.

139
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: I encourage everybody to rewind this episode sixty seconds right

140
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: now and just listen to again, over and over what

141
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: Robot just said, because that's it. Yeah, like that's everything,

142
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 3: and that's it and that wasn't planned and that's from

143
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: experience that it's from pain, and that's from recent pain,

144
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 3: and that's how that is being spoken. Listen to that again.

145
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 3: I really really encourage you to do so, because that

146
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: is it. There's nothing you're going to hear in this episode.

147
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: That's going to be more significant than.

148
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: What you just heard. Yeah, it's going to be more.

149
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: Useful than what you just heard. So I absolutely.

150
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: Encourage, Hey, guess what I'm going to need to re

151
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: listen to that. I'm going to need to rewind that

152
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: myself and listen to myself and say, girl, do exactly

153
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: what you just said.

154
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: It's hard.

155
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: That was that was good? That was it? You mastered that.

156
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: I know it's hard, but that is a key to life.

157
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: And the key to happiness is what she's it actually

158
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: came from places seconds of recent situation.

159
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 4: That's sixty seconds.

160
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: That is the most valuable sixty seconds you will hear

161
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: in an Amy and DJ episode.

162
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.

163
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: All right, So our Wednesday quote of the day from

164
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: the Dalai Lama. This was a very simple one, but

165
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: such a powerful one. And again, this is a moment

166
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: and an opportunity to stop yourself when you feel yourself

167
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: going into some negative spirals, some doomsday projection that we

168
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: all do. So here is what the Dalai Lama said. Quote,

169
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: choose to be optimistic.

170
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: It feels better, It feels better. Let that just be

171
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: the motivation.

172
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: If anything else, if it's even a selfish motivation to say,

173
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: I want to feel better, choose to be optimistic.

174
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: It feels better if.

175
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 4: That simple think of anything.

176
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: We have to Okay, we have to do a run tomorrow,

177
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: six miles, Yes, we can think, my god, the humidity tomorrow.

178
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: They heat tomorrow.

179
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: Bam, right, the what what's the thing they keep up with?

180
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 3: The girls keep up with the US? Oh?

181
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the UV and so we've got like pusan. It's

182
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: going to be beating down on us. Everything's working against us.

183
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't like heat. I don't like humidity.

184
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: Six miles. That's a lot in those conditions.

185
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 3: Even as we're talking about it, it feels heavier to me.

186
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: It does.

187
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 4: But what if I tell you.

188
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: Babe, our favorite bar on the West Side Highway is

189
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: going to be open tomorrow. Let's do a run too, fun,

190
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: make it in there, we get our favorite Sunday beer.

191
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: And also think about it like we just have to

192
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: run three miles, turn around, and run three miles back.

193
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: I always like to split it up and make it

194
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: into two runs where you just have your turnaround point

195
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: and then you run again and then when you're finished.

196
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: But look, you never the heat's not gonna bother you.

197
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 4: My foot's not gonna bother me.

198
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: It feels better to think about anything in an optimistic way, right.

199
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: So, I think we all get into a rut or

200
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: into a almost like a habit, a bad habit, of.

201
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: Thinking of the worst in a weird way.

202
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: We think it protects us, like, Okay, well, if I

203
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: imagine the worst case scenario, then anything short of that

204
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: will be better. But we start to imagine, or I think,

205
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: convince ourselves that are anticipating the worst is a protection

206
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: in a way. So we're kind of I think we're

207
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: always trying to protect ourselves. Our egos are trying to

208
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: protect ourselves, our everything is trying to protect us from

209
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: something that could be worse. And so we get into

210
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: a habit of preparing for bad scenarios, and then we

211
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: get into a negative mindset. But I think, and I've

212
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: obviously read plenty of self help books where it's like,

213
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: what if it all worked out? What if we all

214
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: just anticipated it to be better.

215
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: Than we expect? Are we really going to be disappointed?

216
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: No?

217
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Actually, I think that actually creates a positive energy flow

218
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: that creates a better than expected upcome, and even if

219
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: it isn't at least we felt good about it on

220
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: the way to something that maybe let us down a

221
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: little bit. But what's like, how bad is that at

222
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: least we were hoping for the best. At least we

223
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: had a positive attitude going into it. That actually, to

224
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: me is a win win win, even if it's not

225
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: as great as we thought thinking it could be.

226
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: Is still hopeful. Hopeful is always better. It feels better.

227
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: So yes, choose to be optimistic. It feels better. Thank

228
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: you Dali Lama. So our next Dhali Lama quote. This

229
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: is actually something that I hope doesn't offend anyone. This

230
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: is Thursday, and I remember when I picked this, I

231
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: was like, I hope this doesn't offend anyone who is religious,

232
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: because I understand the power of faith and the role

233
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: that plays in so many people's lives. But I do

234
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: appreciate the fact that you can be supremely religious and

235
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: still agree with the Dali Lama on this. He said,

236
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: we can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot

237
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: survive without human affection. I thought this was so powerful.

238
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't take away from the divine or faith, but

239
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: it does at least acknowledge something that I think a

240
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: lot of us forget how important it is to be hugged,

241
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: to be tough, to hold hands with someone. It can

242
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: be platonic, it doesn't have to be romantic. But we

243
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: know babies cannot survive if they are not helped. And

244
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: it just speaks to our need and desire and hopefully

245
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: like just our willingness to give this to another human.

246
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: We all need to be touched physically.

247
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: You know, I liked yeah to your and you emphasize

248
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 3: the religion part of it. It doesn't take away from religion.

249
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: It more so just elevates the idea that human connection

250
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: is everything, Yeah, that we all need. Isn't every show,

251
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: every reality, any show you can name, is about human

252
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: connection and relationship. Everything and everybody is seeking some approval

253
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: or comfort or aren't we all don't we all just

254
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: need that and want this? So yeah, And the way

255
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: he put it again, this was simple as anything. You

256
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: can live without some stuff, but you can't vibe without

257
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: this live or even two different words, that's true and

258
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: hit differently. You just cannot exist without human connection.

259
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: I agree.

260
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: And it's like so many of us are seeking belonging

261
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, I guess I went to the physical but

262
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: it could also just be emotional affection. There just to

263
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: know that someone cares. And yes, it is beautiful to

264
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: believe in the divine and believe in oneself. That's meditation,

265
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: that's religion. I think both of those things are super important.

266
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: But we need to be able to connect with one another,

267
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: to be affectionate with one another. So I just I

268
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: love how he put that one more time for you all.

269
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot

270
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: survive without human affection. So I just took this as like,

271
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: hug someone, smile at someone, touch someone.

272
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: It's okay, and we all need it.

273
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 3: You know what that one you said, smile at someone?

274
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: That is so important. It is if you ever make

275
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 3: eye contact with anybody, please smile. Don't And you know

276
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: we've been in playing buildings and offices and when day

277
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 3: and day where you're going through a narrow hallway that's

278
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: only wide enough for two people and you walk past

279
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: someone and for some reason they try to avoid eye contact.

280
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 4: That thing.

281
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: It's awkward.

282
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: Yes, don't ever avoid eye contact. Don't ever avoid someone.

283
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: You know the number of times you and I have

284
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: been in an elevator, we have these awkward moments yes,

285
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: because I require people to speak to me.

286
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: You always say good day or hello or hi, good afternoon.

287
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: And when they come in sometimes and I say hello,

288
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: and they don't speak. When they get ready to get off,

289
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: I say, have a nice day.

290
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Still, It's true what a lot of people have air

291
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: pods in they're not always paying attention. But like that's

292
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: a missed opportunity to connect.

293
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 4: Stop. Some are just zoned out.

294
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: They don't expect anybody to speak, or they their heads down.

295
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: You don't expect human interaction.

296
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna more and more unfortunately towards that

297
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: with all of the just the devices we.

298
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: Have and the headphones.

299
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: Y I can be your friend now, you don't need

300
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: a best friend because AI can.

301
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: But actually I believe the Dalai Lama said it best

302
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: that we do.

303
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: We do regardless.

304
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: Everyone craves human affection. So you know what, even if

305
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: you don't get a response, smile anyway, say hello anyway,

306
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: Hug someone anyway.

307
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: That's what I say.

308
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 3: We got a Friday quote and a bonus quote that

309
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: I don't even know about yet.

310
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone to your Sunday edition of our Morning Run,

311
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: where we go over our quotes of the day, and

312
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: we have a bonus quote for you as usual on

313
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: this Sunday, but this is a week that we have

314
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: devoted to the one and only Dali Lama, who turned

315
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: nine day ninety exactly one week ago today. Actually, so

316
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: we spent our week quoting him, and there were so

317
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: many to choose from. It was not hard at all

318
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: to come up with a bonus quote. But we will

319
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: give you first our Friday quote from the Dali Lama.

320
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: He said this.

321
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If

322
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: you want to be happy, practice compassion.

323
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: He's just stopped talking after that. Drop, Mike, just go't

324
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: love out your day, live the rest of your days

325
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: in silence. That is amazing. That is amazing, amazing, amazing. Compassion, compassion, compassion.

326
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: Why do why is this so difficult? And it is

327
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: we do that with ourselves and everybody else. That is

328
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 3: a difficult thing to extend, right compassion to ourselves and

329
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: to others.

330
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: Why isn't it interesting?

331
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: So many people will draw the line between empathy and compassion.

332
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: So empathy is something that you can relate to, right,

333
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: So you're like, yeah, I've been there, I empathize with you.

334
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: I know what it's like to be you, but that

335
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: is so rarely the case. Oftentimes, what is required of

336
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: us as humans, or what I would hope should be

337
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: something you would strive towards, is to be compassion even

338
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: when you don't understand, Even when you can't possibly put

339
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 1: yourself in the other person's shoes, you can at least

340
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: show compassion like I don't know what it's like to

341
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: be you. I don't know what it is that you're

342
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: going through, but I see that you're hurting, and I

343
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: feel for you and I'm with you. That's compassion, and

344
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: so yes, when you can give that to someone else,

345
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: you can give someone joy. But truly, when you are

346
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: being that person which is selfless and saying I don't know,

347
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: but doing it anyway, that actually does bring you joy too.

348
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: It really is like everybody wins, nobody loses, but somehow

349
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: it's so hard to do in the moment.

350
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes he said it to Dalai. Lama says he wants

351
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: to live in another forty years.

352
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 4: Hah, I hope he does.

353
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: I think I might have another forty years in me,

354
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: but I would love to continue to get Dali Lami

355
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 3: quotes yes for the next forty.

356
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: Years, if we if we could actually pull out of

357
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: a hat a Dalai Lama quote every day we and

358
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: like just to remind yourself how to live better. And honestly,

359
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: some of these quotes like this has been a big

360
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: source of fuel for us every day. Like sometimes it's

361
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: very hard to do what we do, we're a little tired,

362
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: and then when we get to the court of the day,

363
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: we're rejuvenated. It's like this moment, we were like, okay,

364
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: another reminder on not just to remember to live well

365
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: and better, but like, this is our day today, this

366
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: is what we have right now. And that's what I

367
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: love about folks like the Dolly Lama who devote themselves

368
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: to just that, to reminding themselves and others how to

369
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 1: live each and every day. So this was amazing. If

370
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you

371
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: want to be happy, practice compassion.

372
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: A drum roll, please the bonus quote that you always

373
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: pull out of your hat on Sundays. I haven't seen

374
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: this one at all. So another Dolly Loma quote and

375
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: a bonus.

376
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 4: Which you got.

377
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: So this is a little bit of a long winded one.

378
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: Whoa but because so many of his are short and

379
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: sweet and to the point.

380
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: This was a more This is a longer one, but

381
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: I loved it. Not, So here we go.

382
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: We don't need more money, we don't need greater success

383
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: or fame. We don't need the perfect body or even

384
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: the perfect mate. Right now, at this very moment, we

385
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: have a mind which is all the basic equipment we

386
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: need to achieve complete happiness.

387
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: How's that food for thought?

388
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 3: Say the last say that last line again.

389
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: Right now, at this very moment, we have a mind

390
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve

391
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: complete happiness.

392
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, okay, now none with them, now with them?

393
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 4: Now with them.

394
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 3: But that's the fight, right, Isn't that the battle?

395
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 2: It is our own minds, our own thoughts.

396
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: That and I think that's the thing that we have

397
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: found almost You've used a lot of quotes that go

398
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 3: back quite literally.

399
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 4: A thousand years.

400
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: Yes, and they're fighting the same battles, yes, mentally in

401
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: how to I guess, find happiness, find peace, to be settled,

402
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 3: to be content, to be all these things in your

403
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 3: life you want. But it's all boils down to your own.

404
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: Mind, how many different ways. And we'll keep doing this

405
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: with our quotes of the day do we talk about

406
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: how we all are suffering?

407
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: Is our own?

408
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: We create our own suffering. Yes, obviously there can be

409
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: physical suffering, things that are out of our control. But mostly,

410
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: if you're being honest, when you are upset, anxious, depressed, scared,

411
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: like just whatever it is that's causing pain, it's almost

412
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: always our minds. I'm going to read the whole thing.

413
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to take it all because really, this is

414
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: why I made this the bonus quote. I knew it

415
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: was long, but it's so powerful. Okay, we don't need

416
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: more money, we don't need greater success or fame with you.

417
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: We don't need the perfect body or even the perfect mate.

418
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: Right now, at this very moment, we have a mind,

419
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve

420
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: complete happiness.

421
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: Damn, I mean that's it. We're all equipped. What are

422
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 4: you going to do with it?

423
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 3: You have been given the tool that you need. How

424
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 3: are you using that tool? That is man?

425
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: It requires discipline, it requires I think even experience to

426
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: know what not to do. And even when we know

427
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: what not to do, we still do it.

428
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 2: But if we can.

429
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 1: Catch ourselves and say stop, I am here, I am

430
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: alive I have right now, I'm healthy, I'm happy. Whatever

431
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: it is that you can say is a blessing, and

432
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: you lean on that and you say thankful, stay thankful,

433
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: and you are grateful for what you have and you

434
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: aren't thinking about what you don't have or what you

435
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: should have or what could have been or what should

436
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: have been. But if you just accept it really is

437
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: isn't it about acceptance and gratitude. That's kind of what

438
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: it is in the end of the day. But I

439
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: love how you put it, because we're always looking for

440
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: more or some external source that could make us better, greater, happier,

441
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: more joyful. Actually, we have everything we need right now.

442
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: You nailed it on this one.

443
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: Great, Well, I didn't nail it actually the Dali Lama.

444
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: Did you want to do it in a bonus Dalai

445
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: Lama week?

446
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 4: This was so easy, right?

447
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: Oh no, this was the easiest week ever, I have

448
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: to say, of picking out quotes because there were so

449
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: many to choose from, and so yes, I encourage you.

450
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: We encourage you.

451
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this you like what you heard,

452
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: google Dali Lama quotes that you will find so many more.

453
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 2: There's like it's just remarkable.

454
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: And I would also say like I love the fact

455
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: that it isn't about a specific religion or any specific ethnicity.

456
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: This is universal. It doesn't matter who you pray to

457
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: or what you believe in. The dollia can guide you

458
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: to a place of peace, and that.

459
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: Is what we're all looking for. So thank you for

460
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,680
