00:00That's what taking the stairs looks like. This staircase is not made of steel. It's not made of
00:06wood or stone. It's made of choices. The choice to show up. The choice to be honest. The choice
00:15to stay humble. The choice to keep your word even when no one else does. The choice to rise again
00:21after falling flat on your face. That's the staircase. And every time you make the right
00:28choice, you build another step. You rise. And eventually, after weeks, months, maybe even
00:35years of unnoticed effort. You'll look back and realize, you're not where you started anymore.
00:41You've climbed. And what's more powerful than where you are is who you've become.
00:47Zig believed that success was not about having more, it was about becoming more.
00:52You don't rise by reaching for what's ahead of you, you rise by letting go of what's holding you down.
00:56Fear. Doubt. Laziness. Excuses. You can't climb with full hands.
01:04You have to let go of the baggage. Let go of the idea that it should be easy.
01:10Let go of the belief that you're not good enough. Let go of the lies that say you're too late,
01:15too old, too broken. Zig reminded us that it's not where you start, it's where you finish.
01:20And you are not finished yet. Your staircase still waits. So stop searching for the elevator.
01:29Stop waiting for someone to carry you. No mentor, no friend, no opportunity will matter,
01:35if you're not willing to take the first step yourself. Because the only thing standing between
01:40you and the top, is action. Zig said, asterisk, you don't have to be great to start, but you have to
01:46start to be great. Asterisk. Start where you are. Start with what you have. And start climbing,
01:55one honest, courageous, disciplined step at a time. Because every step you take makes you stronger.
02:02Every moment of resistance makes you wiser. Every time you say yes to growth and no to comfort,
02:07the staircase builds itself beneath your feet. You don't need to have it all figured out.
02:12You just need to start climbing. Think about it. The view from the top is earned, not gifted.
02:21It belongs to those who kept going when no one was cheering. It belongs to those who worked when no
02:27one was watching. It belongs to those who climbed in silence, until success made the noise. You won't
02:33find that in an elevator. You'll only find that, on the stairs. So today, ask yourself. Am I waiting
02:42for an elevator, or am I willing to take the stairs? Because your future doesn't need perfection,
02:48it needs progress. And progress begins, with one step. Zig would say with a smile, asterisk,
02:55I'll see you at the top. Asterisk. The question is, will you take the stairs to meet him there?
