[Music] okay good morning everybody everybody is well happy wednesday talking yesterday about this idea of randomness and how this this velcro this perspective this general sense really pulls us away from the meaning of our day you there's no way we can ever be able to have happy lives if what we're looking for is objective results it's just impossible it doesn't work that way you ca because you can't predict it enough the only way you get it is when you live in it and only really live in it is if you see the purpose in it but since you don't see the purpose in things because it's not how the system is built you have to know that there's purpose and things and to know this purpose in something you have to you have to be something you have to you have to be willing to accept the fact that something beyond me in this world and that's hard that's the struggle and i do not mean you just take it at face value i am suggesting that you start to pay attention to start to look back this is really i think the practice of great people is this ability to look back see great people great people are constantly looking back you think they're not but they are you think great people are like what was was let's keep on going they think that way emotionally about what happened but they do not think that way intellectually about what happened when you look at the life of someone who's achieved an enormous amount they know
