Carpe Diem: Making Your Lives Extraordinary, Period 4, Class 5
Drake began the class by rocking out to Whitney Houston (before she went crazy):
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
"Well, greatest love and worst love if you abuse it," Drake said. "I'm not saying I want you all to be little egomaniacs bent on taking over the world, however fun that may seem at the time, but loving yourself and having a positive self-image is the key to carping your diem. You can't live life to the fullest unless you know just how awesome you are. I know, I know, easier said than done. So here are a few things I want you to always keep in mind:
"Don't sweat the small stuff. Figure out what you're really good at and cultivate that. Realize that you have limits, nobody's perfect, and that's not a bad thing. Don't put yourself down -- nothing is going to decarpe that diem than telling yourself you're a loser or a failure. If something goes wrong, try again, or just move on. If it works out, celebrate! And most importantly, tell yourself how awesome you are, but don't lose sight of how awesome other people are, too.
"So that's what I want you to do for me today. This is your free pass to brag. Tell me how awesome you are. Tell me the cool things you've done or are going to do. C'mon, let's hear it."
