Now, a few months ago I was in NYC, staying with my friend who s got an amazing place right next to Central Park.
0
SPEAKER_00
These homes are super amazing.
0
SPEAKER_00
Each one is bigger than my frickin  house here in California.

SPEAKER_00
And I got on the elevator, of course his own elevator, one morning that week, and an older man, he got in with me, and I d seen him before.
0
SPEAKER_00
Older guy dressed like he s going hiking every day for his day on the town.
0
SPEAKER_00
He s got books under his arm, probably about to read in the park and enjoy the day.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I noticed something.
0
SPEAKER_00
Morty, that was his name, he was always grumpy and shut off.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it took me a lot of work to get this guy to open up.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m not even sure why I bothered, frankly, but it was almost like some kind of community service.
0
SPEAKER_00
I wondered, though, how did he get this way?
0
SPEAKER_00
Why and how do young folks full of life and full of optimism like you and I end up grumpy old Carmogens?
0
SPEAKER_00
And after a little research and a lot of observation, I came to the conclusion that every day we change, just a little bit.
0
SPEAKER_00
We end up making good choices that make us better, poor choices that make us worse, reactions to events that improve who we are, responses to situations that degrade us.
0
SPEAKER_00
We put effort into relationships and surround ourselves with love, or we let them wither and we find ourselves lonely one day.
0
SPEAKER_00
And this stuff just does not happen overnight.
0
SPEAKER_00
We re gradually laying the groundwork, intentionally or unintentionally, for who we will become later in life.
0
SPEAKER_00
How do you stack up to the you of 10 years ago?
0
SPEAKER_00
Sure, you might have been younger, and let s admit it, better looking back then, but how much different are you and where do you see the differences?
0
SPEAKER_00
Are you more or less generous with your time and money?
0
SPEAKER_00
Are you more confident?
0
SPEAKER_00
Are you more isolated?
0
SPEAKER_00
Are you selfish?
0
SPEAKER_00
How s your mood when you wake up?
0
SPEAKER_00
Are you happier?
0
SPEAKER_00
Are you more stable?
0
SPEAKER_00
Or are you less of both?
0
SPEAKER_00
We don t become Morty overnight.
0
SPEAKER_00
We become Morty over time.
0
SPEAKER_00
What kind of choices are you making?
0
SPEAKER_00
Are you making deposits to your relationships, or are you constantly on borrowed credit?
0
SPEAKER_00
How do you react when things don t go your way?
0
SPEAKER_00
Do you blame others?
0
SPEAKER_00
Do you blame yourself?
0
SPEAKER_00
We re always working towards something, either through effort or by default.
0
SPEAKER_00
We re always becoming something.
0
SPEAKER_00
Are we making choices to become what we want, or are we becoming Morty?
