P!nk response when her daughter said she is the ugliest girl she knows

Transcript:

She said to me, out of the blue: “I’m the ugliest girl I know.” And I said, “Huh?” And she was like, “Yeah, I look like a boy with long hair.” And my brain went to, “Oh my god, you’re six. Why? Where is this coming from? Who said this? Can I kick a six-year-old’s ass? Like, what?”
I went home and I made a PowerPoint presentation for her. And in that presentation were androgynous rock stars and artists that live their truth, are probably made fun of every day of their life, and carry on and wave their flag and inspire the rest of us. And these are artists like Michael Jackson, and David Bowie, and Freddie Mercury, and Annie Lenox, and Prince, and Janis Joplin, and George Michael, Elton John. So many artists. Her eyes glazed over.
But then I said: “You know, I really want to know why you feel this way about yourself.” And she said: “Well, I look like a boy.”
And I said: “Well, what do you think I look like?” And she said: “Well, you’re beautiful.” And I was like: “Well thanks!” But I said when people make fun of me, that’s what they use. They say that I look like a boy, or I’m too masculine, or I have too many opinions, or my body is too strong.
And I said to her, I said: “Do you see me growing my hair?” She said: “No mama.” I said: “Do you see me changing my body?” “No mama.” “Do you see me changing the way I present myself to the world?” “No mama.” “Do you see me selling out arenas all over the world?” “Yes mama.”
Okay, so, baby girl, we don’t change. We take the gravel and the shell and we make a pearl, and we help other people to change so that they can see more kinds of beauty. All of you, thank you for being your true selves and for lighting the way for us. I’m so inspired by you guys. Keep doing it, keep shining for the rest of us to see. And you, my darling girl, are beautiful, and I love you. Thank you guys. Good night!

Albert Einstein: Theory Of Happiness


In 1922, Albert Einstein was delivered a message from a bell boy. The story goes that he didn’t have a tip, so he just wrote down a theory of HAPPINESS and gave it to the young man. This artifact recently sold for $1.5 Million. But the advice written on the paper – is PRICELESS.
What he said in the message, was this: A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the constant pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness. Mr Special Relativity himself, arguably the smartest man who ever lived, says that a peaceful mind, and a peaceful life, is the key to happiness. This goes against many of our ideas about happiness in our society.
They constantly tell us you have to get THIS and get THAT, and STRIVE if you want to be happy. But I will explain quickly with a metaphor why Einstein is totally correct.
Say I wanted these shoes, these new Jordans right. A lot of people like Jo, like J’s right? I craved these shoes. I needed them! I started comparing my old Nike to these J’s. I started seeing everybody with them. I was miserable. And then one day, I finally got them! And I was so happy.
Now the question is: Did the J’s make me happy, or was it the release from the craving of the J’s that made me happy? It was the release! There’s nothing in Jordans that can make you happy. We often think that it’s shoes, that awards, that accolades can make us happy. But actor Jim Carrey said that: “I wish that everybody could be rich and famous, so that they can see for themselves, that that’s not the answer.”
So let’s take note of the wisdom from the great Albert Einstein. Let’s stop and smell the roses. And try to live a calm and modest life. That is… if you want to be happy. Peace.

Rob O’Neill – How Osama bin Laden’s Hunter Never Quits


Spoiler alert. Bin Ladin dies at the end of it. We knew we weren’t coming home from that mission. We were goanna die. We’re goanna get shot down on the way in. We’re goanna run out of fuel and just be in Pakistan and live our short, miserable lives in a Pakistani prison. If anyone is goanna blow himself up, it’s Bin Ladin. We’re not coming back.
The guy that ended up in the point man position taking me up the stairs to Bin Ladin’s bedroom, he pulled me aside before we left and he said, “Don’t take this the wrong way, I’m going, but if we know we’re goanna die, why are we going?” Which is just legit. He wanted to say it out loud.
And I said, “That’s a good point. We are not going for fame and we are not going for bravado. We are going for the single mom who dropped her kids off at elementary school on a Tuesday morning, and then 45 minutes later she jumped to her death out of a skyscraper because that was a better alternative than burning alive cause it’s 2500 degrees inside. Her last gesture of human decency was to hold her skirt down so nobody could see her underwear as she committed suicide. She didn’t want to do any of that. She wasn’t supposed to be in the fight. We’re supposed to fight; that’s why we’re going.”
We were a week and a half into planning that big mission. We had some of the best minds planning the mission to kill Bin Ladin, and we rehearsed the perfect plan over and over and over every day with real helicopters on a real training site, 14 hours a day, and then afterwards we’d talk about it around a table with a replica. And one night the boss said, “All right, guys, what’s the worst thing that could happen?”
The youngest guy in the room said, “Hey, the helicopter could crash in the front yard.” He’s like, “What? Can we talk about that for 20 seconds?” And that happened. But we were able to take a potentially catastrophic event and turn it into something great because of our preparation. No matter what, we never quit.
People will be so close to a goal, 95% of the way there, have a bad day, and then throw their hands … or a series of bad days. “That’s it, I quit; I’m done.” You are not having a bad life. You’re having a bad day.
Now, saying “Never quit” and never quitting are two different things, so I need to tell you a story. You’re in the navy, so you know how to tie a lot of knots. The test is go tie a series of knots with this rope around that rope. So the instructor will say, “Go tie a bowling knot.” So you hold your breath and swim down there, tie a bowling not and you back off. It’s been about a minute. He comes back down and checks it. “Yeah, okay, that’s good.” So you untie the bowling not, you go back up, you get one breath of air, enough time for him to tell you about knot number two. So “Okay, go tie a square knot.” The test is simple. Tie five knots in a row, you pass.
They give you a certain amount of attempts at each test, but a friend of mine named John was on his last attempt. If he doesn’t do all five right now, they’re goanna kick him out today. He’ll never be a Seal. Lifelong dream, that’s a lot of pressure. On his fifth knot attempt, he drowned, so the instructor swam down to get him. He straddled John and started immediately with a sternum rub trying to get him to cough it up, then he started CPR, and we could actually hear him saying to John, “Come back to the light.” So John was out for a minute and a half, finally spit up all the water out of his lungs, and the first words out of his mouth were, “Did I pass?” So the instructor kind of sat back on him, and he’s getting his colour back too because he gets to keep his job, and he goes, “Yeah, man, you passed.” And John goes, “Thank God, I finally got the fifth knot.” And the instructor said, “Well no, you didn’t. Look, I’m in a good mood right now so I’m goanna let you in on a secret. I don’t care how many knots you know how to tie. That is not part of the curriculum to become a Navy Seal. My job simply is to see how far you’ll push yourself. You just killed yourself. You passed the goddamn test. Good job.”
When you feel like quitting, which you will, don’t quit right now. Quit tomorrow. Wake up in the morning on time and make your bed the right way and brush your teeth. Little victories. Make it to 5 a.m. PT on time. Get through that and make it to breakfast. After breakfast, concentrate on getting to lunch. After lunch, make it to dinner. After dinner, do everything you need to do to get back in that bed. No matter how bad your day was, you get a fresh start tomorrow because your bed was made right. And the enemy is all your doubts, all your fears, and everyone you know back home that told you you weren’t good enough to do this. Keep your head down. No matter what, never quit, and you’ll be just fine. KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Look! Whatever you’re doing, stop doing what you’re doing. I got question for you. What do you want? It’s really simple. What do you want? Because there are some things in life you are not going to get. They’re not coming to you. You gotta go take it. There are some stuffs, that you can’t just earn, by doing the good thing. It’s not gonna to happen when you are in bed dreaming about it. It’s not gonna to happen when you are in a shower and thinking about it. Sometimes you just have to will it.
You can stay where you are, you can. But you can’t stay where you are and try to go where you going. So what sacrifices this year you are willing to make. Because there is somebody out there, who want your spot. There is somebody else trying to get a scholarship, you are not the only one who trying to go to the Yale. You are not the only one who trying to go to the NBA. You are not the only one who trying to go to the NFL.
I’m asking that the 24 hours in you life be very intentional, very deliberate, that you be very strategic. I’m asking that the entire week, seven days, you are very deliberate about what time you wake up, you are very deliberate about what time you go to bed, you are very deliberate about what you eat, what you don’t eat. Why? Because every day matters, that’s right, every day matters.
So you got to embody excellence. Every single day have to be excellent. Every single day you wake up, you gotta give it all you got, you gotta give 120%. So you gotta change your mindset, we gotta stop looking at pain as if it is something negative. All roads to success, you gotta go through pain. When you travel down success, you gotta go through the road of pain, baby. If it was easy, everybody would do it.
It would only takes one extra push up, It would only takes one extra mile,
It would only takes one extra road, It would only takes one extra effort.
It would only takes one extra something, to get you where you trying, to get you.
And the goal is:
you gotta go a little further than the man who’s trying to get what you are trying to get. You gotta stay at it a little longer. It’s not going to be easy, but I want you to feel that pain going through your body, and when pain leaves your body, guess what’s gonna take his place. Success
You deserve to be a millionaire, you deserve to take the trip, you deserve to live the life that you want to live.
An idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules. A simple idea that will change everything.
But this is only the beginning, this is not the end. And if you work through your pain, on the other side is a reward. And you are gonna proof to everybody that tried to push you! Everybody who tries to stop you. Everybody who tries to kill your dream, and you will proof all of them wrong.
You bigger than your pain, You’re better than that! I used the pain, to push me to greatness! Don’t give up, I’m telling you right now, don’t give in, get through it.
When you change your mindset, one of things I want you to do is, I want you to embrace the challenge. This is your year to do something you have never done before. This is your year to think the way you have never thought before. This is your year to accomplish what you never accomplished before.

Transcript:
When you have a dream, it doesn’t often come at you screaming in your face. Dreams always come from behind you, not right between your eyes and sneaks up on you. Sometimes a dream almost whispers, whispers that never shouts. Very hard to hear. So you have to everyday of your life be ready to hear, what whispers in your ear that very rarely shouts.
That moment of time, was one of the darkest moments out of my whole life. My motivation was out the door, I just want to give up.
I need you to be who you supposed to be. Don’t let nobody stop you from being who you supposed to be. Don’t let nobody outtalk you. Don’t let anybody tell you the doors are shut. Don’t let anybody tell you that opportunities don’t exist. Don’t let anybody tell you that. I need you to be who you supposed to be, because when you are who you supposed to be – you superhuman.
I don’t want to delude you, because this is a career ending injury,
Listen to me, you got fear and you got faith. And I’ve decided not to walk in fear, but to walk in faith. There is greatness in you. Do you hear me? There is greatness in you. And you mean to tell me, you never gonna reach your full potential? You mean to tell me, you never going to be what you been called to be, that’s you’re not going to do what you been called to do, because you are afraid?
Somethings don’t come. They just not gonna come to you, because you just want it as bad as you wanna breathe. You gotta put up and do something and you got to be willing to fight that thing up.
They are not giving us success, but you can earn it, you can take it, I need you to take it!
Don’t let the distraction distract you.
I wouldn’t ever start skateboarding.
So whatever you do man, don’t give up, don’t quit. Now listen to me closely. Just because you failed, doesn’t make you a failure. And when Life hits you, you gotta keep going, just don’t quit.
In order to achieve greatness, you have to go through a lot of pain. You definitely have setbacks. But in order to achieve that success, you have to push through.
If you hit an oak tree a thousand times, in a thousand different spots, what’s gonna happen? Absolutely nothing. But if you hit an oak tree a thousand times in the exact same spot. You know what’s gonna happen? You gonna bring it down. You gonna do the impossible. You are not only a special person created in a special time, you got some special inside of you.
You have to believe, that you can do something that nobody else has done. And somehow that concept has to become a reality.
You got greatness all inside you. But your problem is you’re a scaredy-cat, you soft. And every time it gets hard, you quit and you give up. And I’m telling you, if you be willing to fight your way through it. If you be willing to fight your way through this battle, fight your way through cancer, fight your way through the academic struggle, fight your way through divorce, fight your way through it. If it was easy, everybody would do it. You gotta fight your way through it, you gotta fight the fear, because guess what, fear ain’t bigger than you. If you going to win the fight of your life, you can’t be afraid to fight.
What exactly was hurting on your body?
I think my foot is broken and my shoulder and my back, everything feels pretty broke right now. The doctor tried to get me to not skate, basically I told him, he’s got to fight me.
Are you gonna be on taking fourth and fifth run?
I’m taking every run.
How are you able to muster up strength to even come back out here and take another run?
I don’t know what it is… it’s inside me, but it’s a lot of determination, it’s a fire that’s just keep burning.
Fear, you’re not going to stop me. I’ve got too far; I’ve come too far to give up now.
You gotta believe in yourself, you gotta believe in your dream. You gotta believe one day is going to be your moment, one day you gonna own the moment. Listen to me, impossible is just a big word, thrown around by small man.
Many of you right now, Life got you up against the rope. You can’t give up, you can’t give in. Listen to me, if it was easy everybody would do it.
You got this far, if you just going to quit, you should’ve quit a long time ago. You got too far, you’ve come too far to quit now. Show me that nothing is impossible.
