If you had to give the commencement address to 15k university students as they were about to charge out into life and contribute, make their difference and leave their mark, what would you say?
What is your life philosophy that you would like to teach other people to have? Some simple rules and principles about life that you would love others to have in their own lives, to live a meaningful life, to live a fully charged life.
What’s your life philosophy that you would share with other people?
It’s nice when you develop your own little philosophy that you can share with people over and over again, because that becomes part of your mission. It becomes part of your message to other people. It’s what your legacy becomes. It’s what people carry on after you’re gone. It’s what they remember you for, is when you impart specific things like that.

Brendon Burchard’s Message
- Be thankful for all that you have and all that you are
- Work hard for all that you desire
- Be intentional in who you are becoming
- Love and respect others on this journey
Share your life philosophy. That’s your message. That’s what people remember. And if you live that life philosophy each day, you wake up and have that goal, you have that dream to live your life philosophy, it activates everything in you. You can’t wait to wake up tomorrow, because that enthusiasm to live that philosophy pulls you into the future. It pulls you into that style of life and you feel so remarkable because you’re aimed again.
