0:00:00.178,0:00:04.001
(dial tone)

0:00:04.001,0:00:05.519
There will be bad days.

0:00:07.181,0:00:08.142
Be calm.

0:00:09.326,0:00:12.478
Loosen your grip, opening[br]each palm slowly now.

0:00:14.078,0:00:14.960
Let go.

0:00:16.391,0:00:17.235
Be confident.

0:00:18.542,0:00:20.901
Know that now is only a moment

0:00:21.732,0:00:24.438
and that if today is as bad as it gets

0:00:25.023,0:00:27.737
understand that by tomorrow,[br]today will have ended.

0:00:28.521,0:00:29.422
Be gracious.

0:00:30.406,0:00:32.638
Accept each extended hand offered,

0:00:32.638,0:00:35.147
to pull you back from[br]the somewhere you cannot escape.

0:00:35.147,0:00:36.118
Be diligent.

0:00:36.826,0:00:38.693
Scrape the gray sky clean.

0:00:39.208,0:00:41.861
Realize every dark cloud is a smoke screen

0:00:41.861,0:00:43.668
meant to blind us from the truth,

0:00:44.021,0:00:46.495
and the truth is whether we see them or not

0:00:46.571,0:00:48.630
the sun and moon are still there

0:00:48.631,0:00:51.339
and always there is light.

0:00:52.240,0:00:53.300
Be forthright.

0:00:53.925,0:00:55.702
Despite your instinct to say

0:00:55.702,0:00:58.137
"it's alright, I'm okay"...

0:00:58.814,0:00:59.817
be honest.

0:01:00.485,0:01:05.895
Say how you feel without fear or guilt,[br]without remorse or complexity.

0:01:06.556,0:01:10.399
Be lucid in your explanation,[br]be sterling in your repose.

0:01:11.243,0:01:14.950
If you think for one second[br]no one knows what you've been going through;

0:01:15.119,0:01:17.548
be accepting of the fact that you are wrong,

0:01:18.090,0:01:23.100
that the long drawn and heavy breaths of despair[br]have at times been felt by everyone

0:01:23.647,0:01:25.748
that pain is part of the human condition

0:01:25.748,0:01:28.130
and that alone makes you a legion.

0:01:29.087,0:01:33.326
We hungry underdogs,[br]we risers with dawn,

0:01:33.741,0:01:37.551
we dismissers of odds,[br]we pressers of on

0:01:37.982,0:01:40.246
we will station ourselves to the calm.

0:01:40.246,0:01:42.527
We will hold ourselves to the steady,

0:01:42.527,0:01:44.224
be ready player one.

0:01:45.009,0:01:48.758
Life is going to come at you[br]armed with hard times and tough choices,

0:01:49.089,0:01:52.529
your voice is your weapon,[br]your thoughts ammunition

0:01:52.840,0:01:54.755
there are no free extra men,

0:01:54.810,0:01:57.295
be aware that as the instant now passes,

0:01:57.448,0:01:59.069
it exists now as then.

0:01:59.626,0:02:02.160
So be a mirror reflecting yourself back,

0:02:02.209,0:02:03.977
and remembering the times when you thought

0:02:04.161,0:02:07.210
all of this was too hard[br]and you'd never make it through.

0:02:07.756,0:02:10.006
Remember the times you could have pressed quit

0:02:11.092,0:02:12.420
but you hit continue.

0:02:13.416,0:02:14.324
Be forgiving.

0:02:15.074,0:02:17.456
Living with the burden[br]of anger is not living.

0:02:18.010,0:02:22.265
Giving your focus to wrath[br]will leave your entire self absent of what you need.

0:02:22.434,0:02:26.584
Love and hate are beasts[br]and the one that grows is the one you feed.

0:02:26.892,0:02:28.167
Be persistent.

0:02:28.444,0:02:31.266
Be the weed growing through[br]the cracks in the cement...

0:02:32.604,0:02:33.333
beautiful

0:02:34.717,0:02:37.672
because it doesn't know[br]it's not supposed to grow there.

0:02:38.518,0:02:39.594
Be resolute.

0:02:40.194,0:02:43.605
Declare what you accept [br]as true in a way that envisions

0:02:43.605,0:02:45.646
the resolve with which you accept it.

0:02:46.461,0:02:50.227
If you are having a good day,[br]be considerate.

0:02:51.140,0:02:54.968
A simple smile could be the first-aid kit [br]that someone has been looking for.

0:02:55.337,0:02:59.813
If you believe with absolute honesty[br]that you are doing everything you can...

0:03:01.419,0:03:02.246
do more.

0:03:03.817,0:03:05.513
There will be bad days.

0:03:06.606,0:03:11.442
Times when the world weighs on you for so long[br]it leaves you looking for an easy way out.

0:03:12.165,0:03:15.508
There will be moments when [br]the drought of joy seems unending.

0:03:16.338,0:03:21.789
Instances spent pretending that everything[br]is alright when it clearly is not.

0:03:22.820,0:03:24.164
Check your blind spot.

0:03:25.056,0:03:26.528
See that love is still there.

0:03:27.035,0:03:28.087
Be patient.

0:03:28.487,0:03:30.169
Every nightmare has a beginning,

0:03:30.169,0:03:31.864
but every bad day has an end.

0:03:32.156,0:03:34.333
Ignore what others have called you.

0:03:36.133,0:03:37.710
I am calling you friend.

0:03:38.495,0:03:41.319
Make us comprehend the urgency of your crisis.

0:03:41.658,0:03:44.644
Silence left to its own devices breeds silence.

0:03:44.644,0:03:46.691
So speak and be heard.

0:03:46.999,0:03:51.180
One word after the next, express [br]yourself and put your life in the context.

0:03:51.487,0:03:53.706
If you find that no one is listening...

0:03:55.044,0:03:56.023
be loud.

0:03:57.299,0:03:58.323
Make noise.

0:03:58.984,0:04:01.434
Stand in poise and be open.

0:04:01.665,0:04:06.109
Hope in these situations is not enough[br]and you will need someone to lean on.

0:04:07.509,0:04:10.073
In the unlikely event that you have no one,

0:04:11.658,0:04:12.680
look again.

0:04:14.111,0:04:16.753
Everyone is blessed with the ability to listen.

0:04:17.676,0:04:19.733
The deaf will hear you with their eyes.

0:04:20.163,0:04:22.282
The blind will see you with their hands.

0:04:22.328,0:04:24.066
Let your heart fill their news-stands,

0:04:24.066,0:04:25.924
Let them read all about it.

0:04:26.386,0:04:30.198
Admit to the bad days, the impossible nights.

0:04:30.645,0:04:34.172
Listen to the insights of those who[br]have been there, but come back.

0:04:34.172,0:04:35.218
They will tell you;

0:04:35.588,0:04:38.085
you can stack misery,[br]you can pack dispair

0:04:38.085,0:04:39.784
you can even wear your sorrow

0:04:40.446,0:04:42.686
but come tomorrow you must change your clothes.

0:04:42.686,0:04:45.159
Everyone knows pain.

0:04:46.574,0:04:48.950
We are not meant to carry it forever.

0:04:49.965,0:04:52.436
We were never meant to hold it so closely,

0:04:52.436,0:04:58.633
so be certain in the belief that what pain [br]belongs to now will belong soon to then.

0:04:59.172,0:05:01.329
That when someone asks[br]you, "How was your day?",

0:05:01.945,0:05:03.641
realize that for some of us

0:05:03.980,0:05:06.189
it's the only way we know how to say,

0:05:08.050,0:05:08.971
be calm.

0:05:10.386,0:05:11.671
Loosen your grip,

0:05:11.671,0:05:12.647
opening each palm,

0:05:12.647,0:05:14.208
slowly now...

0:05:16.608,0:05:17.376
let go.
