Tim Tebow’s tips for living life to the fullest

all right next guest is a two-time national college football champ he's a former NFL star and now a minor league baseball player he's also a best-selling author with a new book called this in the day please welcome the one and only Tim Tebow [Applause] and I want to start off with saying I hope you're feeling well you broke your hand recovering from a broken hand so how's that going it's going really well yeah had surgery they took out the bone it's healing up and I'll be back training here hopefully in a week or two so to hear about that and but in your in your spare time which like you have a lot you've written your third book you know and and in this book you dedicated this book to your parents Robert and Pamela and and why did you dedicate this book to your parents because they lived out this message I'm trying to share with people this message that this is the day you can't wait for one day I don't want to be a one there and I got to see them live it out in front of me every day of my life and I was also inspired to write this as well when my dad got Parkinson's you know because for me there were so many things that happen in my life where you know I wanted to go home talk to my mom and dad I wanted to tell him I loved him I wanted to do things that you know I always thought hey one day I'm gonna have these chances I don't know if I'm gonna have those anymore and so I wanted to make conscious choices and decisions to start living that every single day when my alarm went off I was gonna wake up knowing that this day was on purpose to live on my dream to live out my passion and more than anything to live out my purpose and you're doing it and you talked about one day or people say well one day I'm gonna get to this and one day I'm gonna get to that you don't live that way so what message do you have for them to change if that's oh we don't know if we're gonna have one day you know you don't know if you're gonna be able to tell your parents thank you I love you I appreciate you you don't know if you're gonna be able to tell your loved ones how much you care you know so many people are like it been sports especially they're like maeín one day I'm gonna get on a diet right one day I'm gonna start doing everything right one day I'm going to do all these things and you're like we don't know if we have that yeah you know we don't know how many days we have and so I didn't want to live a one day life I wanted to live it this is the day life that I want to enjoy I want to live life to the fullest that's not something I wanted to put on Instagram as my hashtag it's something I wanted to come from my heart to truly live it on purpose yeah is speaking of sports in one day ORS I say one day I'm gonna be better than the Bron James it ain't happening yeah but you but this look is a far-fetched but you say one day you want to be a baseball player after a football career yeah you're doing that how terrifying is it for you who seems so confident to go from one thing to another it's hard but I didn't want my fear to be more than my faith I don't want my fear to dictate my choices I don't want the fear of what people are gonna say make the choices and define my life I wanted to go after my dream go after my passions and be able to live that out regardless if you make it regardless if successful I still get to know that I lived those out that I pushed for it that I took the steps to live it out doesn't mean you're always gonna be successful just means that I don't have to live with regret of not going after the things I wanted because I was afraid of what other people are gonna say or the fear of failure which I believe cripples a lot of people I agree the fear failure makes most people not even try and what it is it's not easy for you because I saw where in baseball when Europe they the the opposing stadium they like to play on the jumbotron your worst football player it's totally I've had my worst interceptions or worst fumbles or they'll play you know like angels in the outfield when it comes up hopefully so many things but honestly I don't really care because I get to live it out and sometimes you be like that's kind of frustrating but for the most part I enjoy it and you know I just get you know I know that every day I get to wake up and live out a dream and that's that's pretty special yeah it really is your motivational guy you're just speaking now yeah I think people clapping in the middle of yours you're you're just talking you're very motivational when you're in the gym though I heard you are Ness not necessarily motivated but a lot of like what are you what are you listening to in the gym you know I think for some people be shocked that I'm a little bit calmer in the gym cuz I'm naturally kind of amped up so I'll listen to softer stuff Frank Sinatra Disney music Christian music yeah I think they're even chocodiles like I even like Moana I do I love Moana but I'm not in the gym like blaring through my headphones uh Disney musicals but I'm glad you do it and there are so many mantras that you talk about what is the one mantra that you live that you live by um that's a really good question I think probably more than anything my greatest goal would probably be to love God love people and it's not just something that I want to say that's something that I want to live out and you know I I believe that the greatest form of love as a definition is to choose the best interests of another person and act on their behalf and when we talk about a generation that wants to love people well let's choose the best interests of people and less act on their behalf let's go out and let's give a helping hand let's care for someone let's make a difference in their life not just talk about it but let's actually be about it what are you running for president one last question before you go are we gonna see you back in the meth organization XUL yes we will always
