00:00A Sunday school teacher by day, and a sex addict at night.
00:04Ooh.
00:07They were like, you won't believe it.
00:09We got her going out.
00:11We got her with the men.
00:13And we get to show her, and she was willing to show us everything.
00:18I sat down with a woman for an interview that was taped.
00:23And during the process of the interview, I said, why are you doing this?
00:29And she said, oh, I want to help people.
00:31I want to tell my story, and I want to help people.
00:33I said, do you have children?
00:35She says, yes, I have a 10-year-old son.
00:38I knew right then, this is never going to see the light of day.
00:42So we got off the air, and I said to the lady, we are not going to air that show.
00:47And she said, why?
00:50My producer said, why?
00:53She knew she was being filmed.
00:55She knew what she was saying.
00:57And I told you, I said, because her son will never get over it.
01:02You always know it's the right thing when, in the end, there is peace.
01:08You are rewarded by peace in knowing that you did the right thing.
01:15The three things that I want to leave with you will carry you if you let them.
01:21First and foremost, knowing who you are.
01:28Being able to answer this question, who am I, and what do I want?
01:35I'm not asking for the roles that you play as a daughter, as a friend, as a sister.
01:40You're going to be a lawyer. You're going to teach.
01:43I'm asking the bigger question of who am I, and what do I want?
01:50I don't want to just be successful in the world.
01:56I want to fulfill the highest, truest expression of myself as a human being.
02:06I want to fulfill the promise that the creator dreamed when he dreamed the cells that made up me.
02:16You must have some kind of vision for your life.
02:22Even if you don't know the plan, you have to have a direction in which you choose to go.
02:28You want to be in the driver's seat of your own life, because if you're not, life will drive you.
02:34Number two, you must find a way to serve.
02:41Martin Luther King said that not everybody can be famous, but everybody can be great,
02:47because greatness is determined by service.
02:51When you shift the paradigm of whatever it is you choose to do to service,
02:56and you bring significance to that, success will, I promise you, follow you.
03:03That's number two. Number three, it's so simple, but so hard to do.
03:08Always do the right thing.
