if you don't change what you're doing and how you do it nothing else will change I don't want to live in a hole anymore it makes me feel poor we are poor but we're happy come see comea anyway the views are better above ground honey I'm seven nonf Fox years old now my father died at 7 and A2 I don't want to live in a hole anymore and I'm going to do something about it I'm going to have setbacks I know but if I'm feeling bad that doesn't mean I'm doing bad that doesn't mean I

am bad that doesn't mean that I can't still take some action because yeah nothing changes and nothing changes man at some point everything's going to go south on you everything's going to go south and you're going to say this is it this is how I end now you can either accept that or you can get to work that's all it is you just begin there's a quote that I've fallen in love with the magic you are looking for is in the work you're avoiding yeah dude the magic you are looking for is in the work

you're avoiding it never consider the possibility of failure every person here is here because they refused to quit when the going got rough your ability to persist in the face of setbacks and disappointments is vital to all great achievement and it's always is a decision that you make it's not the external environment it's always the internal environment yeah I don't care how good you are on anything you don't have discipline you ain't nobody right you're nothing without discipline cuz you give up under the slightest struggle without discipline 100% me discipline doing what you hate to

do but do it like you love it most of us we live in a box and we don't want to go outside that box at all ever outside that box is all these possibilities of life what people understand is that they live for themselves not knowing that you have the power within yourself to change millions of lives Yeah by facing Life by facing yourself I now know that there is no cap on the human mind there's no cap we cap it ourselves and through that I I would die never knowing that I had the power

to change millions of lives there's a great Chinese expression a great old proverb the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago the second best time is now so you overcome procrastination with a very very simple method it was developed by W Clement Stone when he was a young man he built a Fortune of $500 million and this is one of the central principles of his life it's simply this every morning when you get up say over and over to yourself do it now do it now do it now I do it now

do it now whenever you have this tendency to procrastinate program your subconscious mind with this automatic conditioned command do it now do it now do it now the key to overcoming procrastination is to develop a sense of urgency be the kind of person who gets things done quickly be the kind of person who launches fast on a task everybody just wants to be comfortable everybody wants to sit in the I don't want to go outside it's cold I don't want to do this it's hot like you've got to do things that you don't want to

do cuz you show your body that your mind is the boss your mind is telling your body what do and then you have control well life took me somewhere unexpected I'm unprepared um it's about 6° out here and I'm underdressed but guess what no one gives a you got to get the sometimes life can really hijack your mind when that happens to you you're all up your goals your Ambitions everything is out the window in life we all go through different things sometimes your girlfriend or boyfriend breaks up with you guess what get the over

it they no longer want you maybe you fell a test in school you worked your ass off guess what you failed the test get over it move past it learn to not let life hijack your brain at work you've been working your ass off of that new promotion you don't get it someone else does maybe they kiss better than you do guess what get over it life will hijack your mind if you let it don't allow all these things to make you a lesser person you must own your mind don't let life own yours you

can't wait for everything to be perfect to start living your life that's what I've done my whole life has been like that inside of me it has been as soon as it's all lined up I'm going to show you myself as soon as I've got it all looking the way I want I'm going to show up for you this is my life I said this is my life you are EX actly who the this is it and I said this ain't going to be it for me in that restaurant I quit my job left my

canister in that restaurant my my spray canister got back in my Ecolab truck and I went home and I started working out like somebody I was I became the most obsessed person on the planet Earth and I was basically I had to invent a guy that didn't exist I had to invent a guy that can take any p any suffering any kind of judgment be called be called whatever the in the world and be able to stand in the room and say go yourself had to built I had to build this callous mind and I

built it through suffering if you think the price of winning is too high wait till you get the bill from regret the unfulfilled potential is the story of most people's lives it is it is it and it could have been the story of mine and I tell a lot of people people go what's your your biggest fear in life and my biggest fear honestly was let's say this let's say uh I don't care if you believe in God or not I don't care so this let's just play a game with me let's say let's say

you're God and we have a big long line of people and I made to heaven I'm 75 years old I'm 300 lbs I made to Heaven I worked for eolab my entire life spraying for cockroaches that's what I did but I'm dead I'm in heaven now and you are at you're you're judging us all now so we're in line we're all sitting there in line you have Adam Brown he has a big board up and you're talking to Adam Brown about his life and you rip it down and I'm next in line David Goggins I

see my name and I see all this God goes hey you say read this man and I'm reading this list and I'm seeing 182 lbs Navy SEAL Ranger school motivational speaker changing lives okay man pull up record all this and I'm like that's not me man and God looks at me and says that's who you were supposed to be everything is possible in your life when you [Music] believe when you believe everything is possible you have a two hands am me everything is possible oh oh and taking whatever we want to do success usually comes

to those who are too busy who be looking for it they're always working towards it if you want ordinary don't Risk Everything risk everything if you want extraordinary just make sure that it's calculated is that when it feels scary to jump that is exactly when you jump otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life and that I can't do nothing is permanent nothing is permanent and a lot of times you have to learn to perform without motivation you have to learn to perform without purpose you have to learn to perform a

lot of different things and that's what people think they think I need to have this motivation to work out to study to be better so if they don't have it they just don't do it so I was at uh work the other day and I just been kind of in this like rut at work not a bad job but I just really want to get out of it saw catching up on some of your podcasts and um you said something that like resonated with me you know you said nothing changes if nothing changes I thought

about it and I went home and I applied for a job I'm probably not qualified for but I was like I'll take a shot and the next day I get a uh call from him have the interview it goes well she says she going to set me up with uh iners interview never even had it they uh emailed me few days later and I got the job so now I'm going be doing a job that I think I will appreciate more and enjoy more and I'll be making double the money that I'm making now this

Society is too weak and why because of all the technology which is available right now so you don't need to use your body anymore I always think about in the in the stone ages do you think somebody in the stone ages had depression yeah or even a more modern uh variation the Spartans do you think they had depression you know maybe you are laughing but all of these groups they are too busy with their body they are too busy with activity to be depressed yeah but nowadays how does the time look you can sit if

you want from morning till evening just in front of the screen and nothing's going to happen anymore well what can happen if we decide I'm going to see what happens when I decide that I am qualified what happens when I decide for myself that I'm going to do something different everything worthwhile is uphill you see every dream that you've ever had it's it's all uphill if you have a great relationship with somebody you you had to work on it it it's up here if you've if youve built a wonderful business guess what it was uphill

if if you've made the right decisions they're they're not easy are they it it's uphill and the only way that you can go uphill is to be intentional nobody ever accidentally went uphill you've never talked to a successful person and said how did you get to the top of the mountain and then look at you and say I have no idea if they're at the top of the mountain they know how they got there because they had to have effort it took energy it took time everything worthwhile everything worthwhile is up you there's no passion

there's no motivation there's no oh my God man I this is no it's every day of your life just doing no passion no discipline no motivation yeah all these words I hate people I hate that's so many people use these words now cuz it's watered it's someone sitting in the room by themselves and they figure themselves out and say God this is gonna suck where's passion when you're 300 lb where's the motivation when you can't read and write where is it so how do this happen I just did I just did everybody's asleep man or

they're's getting home after a long night you know going out there partying it's Friday night it's uh close to 3:00 in the morning right now [Music] you know the thing is man it's always going to be a party it's always going to be a time to celebrate and a time to join friends and or a day I mean the bars are always open always open matter how old you are they're always open you know what's not always open is the opportunity to to check the box in life you know achieve your dreams that's not always

open man you know what a loser is a real loser is somebody that's so afraid of not winning they don't even try I never forget one time I was running by a graveyard and I was just trying to become I was fat and I ran by a graveyard and I looked out there and I have all these epiphanies man I have all these moments of like of it's crazy man of of this thought cuz I'm always by myself I'm always in deep thought about how to be better and I look out there I'm like man

I wonder how many you mother in there just are so upset with how you lived your life and just regret how you lived it and I'm running at 300 lb man thinking man don't [ __ ] die like this bro don't die like this so people wonder where this [ __ ] comes from from me it it comes from such deep thought of trying to see what this is all about what is this life all about what am I all about why am I here life and death either you live or you die which one

do you want Tom that was the decision in the corporate life and in the gym but if you want something bad enough if you want something bad enough you can't let anybody tell you you can't do something I'll repeat that if you want something bad enough you can't let anybody tell you you can't do something not even yourself a lot of days I'm like oh you can't do this Tom you can't be as quick as a 30-year-old on the computer let me show you I I would have arguments with myself I could do it people

doubted me I doubted myself sometimes too but you know what I watched Arnold fall down nobody remembers when he fell down your biggest enemy is you my whole book is about you battling yourself people don't understand is you against you the only person that gets in your way is you nobody else it's you oh there's so many people that have the ability and and just refuse to get off that couch refuse to study a few more hours refuse to go deeper to go further and that's where I gained the advantage it's so easy to be

great nowadays my friend cuz most people are weak so I want to ask you can you admit something in your life that you don't feel like you deserve or have earned can you admit a goal or or a dream that you want to chase but you're feeling like nah I can't fly that high I'm I'm I'm not equipped I don't I don't really have the ability I'm not [Music] qualified can you admit something in your life that guilt is keeping you from getting can you admit something that you don't want to start continue or finish

because you're afraid to say it aloud to [Music] yourself write it down [Music] confess a lot of times I'll be in a 200 mile run or something like that and I'm all jacked up body's broken mind's broken spirit's broken I start to say what if I can pull this off when I first walked into the Navy SE recruiter's office he looked at me and said there's only been 35 African-Americans in 70 years make it through you know I said to myself what if I can be the 36th it's the what if I can pull off

a miracle what if I can become someone that no one thinks I can be be the hero of your own movie if your life was a movie movie and it started now forget about whatever financial disasters you've had personal failures relationship failures what would the hero of your life's movie do right now do that take yourself out your comfort zone do not live in your bubble put some more air in your bubble if you stay in your comfort zone that's where you will fail you will fail in your comfort zone success is not a comfortable

procedure it is a very uncomfortable thing to attempt so you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable if you ever want to be successful the heaviest things in life aren't iron and gold but unmade decisions the reason you are stressed is that you have decisions to make and you're not making them in life folks you cannot change your life unless you change something if you always do what you always did you'll always get what you always got I started thinking like every day I was like I hope I don't wake up you know what I mean

um and that was the that was that was the thing where I was like this is a big enough problem that like if you don't want to wake up then what have you got to lose exactly and that was it and I was like I have nothing to lose and that was when that was when I think in the last podcast we talked about this where it's like if everybody who's like at the bottom and feels like they have have nothing going for them reframe that as I have nothing going for me which also means

that I have nothing to lose by taking action it makes you a much more dangerous person and I think that was the flip that I've had repeatedly shown to me in my life that allowed me to take the step that I was afraid to take the fear is never Reaching Your Potential that's it that always fall on short always quitting before you're done always procrastinating always not doing the right thing and then one day you're an old man yep and you look back and go God I could have been great yep I could have been

great preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing hating

on the obstacles in the way of you doing the thing isn't doing the thing fantasizing about all of the Adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing reading this essay isn't doing the thing the only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing we Define ourselves far too often by our past failures we look at our past and we say well that's me that's not you you are

this person right now you're the person who's learned Le from those failures and you can choose to be the hero of your own movie right now write down your goals write down things you want to improve write down things you won't tolerate from yourself write down things you've done in the past that you never want to see yourself do again and go forth from here as the hero of your own movie here's the big challenge of life you can have more than you've got because you can become more than you [Music] are that's the challenge

and of course the other side of the coin reads unless you change how you are you'll always have what you got most people don't want it that badly which why they always ask the question man how did you get to where you are you know how to do it you know exactly how to be you or how to be me you don't want to do it so I can't make you do it nor do I have the time or energy to force you into that place that I know you have to be to do it

there's no luck in this game man it may be a little bit of luck but the luck happens after you bust your ass and you put yourself in that lucky situation luck doesn't happen you put yourself in that situation where luck might happen would I be able to do it would I you don't know until you say yeah I'm going to you know what I'm going to take action nothing changes if nothing changes man and I'm not preaching at you I'm just I just want to remind you cuz you know I've spent a lot of

time in my life sitting around wanting things to change um and not being able to make them change and and not thinking I could and I wish somebody had told me that earlier sometimes that in order for something to change there needs to be change it's you against you you against you and if you misunderstand that you have a real problem real problem I can understand you misunderstand me running down the street shirt off this no yeah I can get it I get it if you misunderstand what I'm saying right now today the problem is

you and you don't want to fix it here's how to get older without getting better keep relearning the same lesson if you keep making the same mistake over and over the mistake isn't the problem you are there was no passion no drive no nothing but I had this fire that I'm going to be somebody and it has to be there because on all those bad days on all those days you don't want to do you have to be your own motivator your own coach your own your own trainer your own everything and what that means

is you may have failed miserably yesterday but you come to work people like man you just lost everything how the hell are you this [ __ ] damn motivated cuz this is what it takes it's not about the shoes it's about knowing where you're going not forgetting where you started it's about having the courage to fail not breaking when you broken laziness is something that has to do with you you're not connected to something deep enough you don't feel the necessity you don't feel the devil at your heels you don't feel the fact that you

could very well die tomorrow that will impel you to get something done there's no necessity behind it and the human animal the we were created is when we feel pressure we feel the necessity to get things done we can move mountains but when that pressure like almost like a barometric pressure releases and we don't feel the need to get something done we could become incredibly lazy because there's no necessity so you have to create necessity in your life you have to create the need to get things done why do that much why go that far

Why Try to become everything that's a good question why and you're the only one personally that can answer that question for yourself one of the big thrust for success is to come up with a strong enough why if the why is powerful the how is easy if the vision isn't clear the old Prophet said without a vision we die without a vision we perish without a dream we're nothing most people the bottom 80% are lazy they're looking for an easy way they're looking for a shortcut to be successful and there are not there aren't any

but if you do something repeatedly over and over you develop a habit so most people are in the habit of looking for easy ways to get the things they want it's almost like you have to have the ability to go to the deep end no matter whether or not you'll ever go there right yes and some people are like well I'm never going to go to the deep end MH but you should be able to yes what are you willing to give up what are you willing to sacrifice what are you willing to forgo if

you're struggling if you're frustrated with yourself if you're at that point where you're so sick of yourself and your excuses I've been there Steven's been there this is a normal part of the human experience and at some point either the pain is going to get big enough or you're going to bump into somebody's story somewhere on this planet who has been in the position that you're in right now facing the stuff that you're facing right now and there is something about their story at this exact moment in time that will ignite something in you that

is missing and what is missing in you right now is Hope Here's To The Crazy Ones The Misfits the Rebels the troublemakers the round pegs in the square holes the ones who see things differently they're not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo you can quote them disagree with them glorify or vilify them about the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things they push the human race forward while some may see them as the crazy ones we see genius because the people who are crazy enough

to think they can change the world are the ones who do playing out the fear Leela says this and I love it but that fear is a mile wide and an inch deep and so it looks like this ocean that you're going to step into and drown but as soon as you step into it you realize it was not that deep at all and you can keep walking through it and um I just love that visual because a lot of times when it's like we have this anxiety around this big decision we have to make

if you actually take the step and realize that it's not death you're not going to drown immediately there's plenty of other steps you can take from there even if you get a little wet you have to be open-minded to the possibilities that I can do this once you shut your mind down to the possibility that it can be achieved there's no way can happen is there advice you can give to young kids that are living through a situation of any sort a tough life try to find a thing that you really enjoy try to find

a thing that you're passionate about everybody thinks they're a loser every young person thinks they're a loser at Le at least a young person in the situation I was at like I didn't know I wasn't a loser until I started winning till I started doing martial arts martial arts taught me that like I could get better at stuff that it wasn't I wasn't really a loser I want to maximize what I can I want to be the best that I can be I want to do things well and I don't want to leave stuff on

the table but I don't want to be chasing the end goal so much that I never actually enjoyed the process of getting there because ultimately that's really all that matters but you're going to look back at any destination realize that it was 99.9% journey and only you know one day of celebrating achieving the thing you're lazy you know exactly what to do exactly what to do cuz even me in my state of I can't read and write I knew exactly what to do it just sucks doing it hey Theo this is uh Greg from Indiana

I actually just want to call and tell you so I was at uh work the other day and I just been kind of in this like rut at work it's not a bad job but I just really want to get out of it I catching up on some of your podcasts and um you said something that like resonated with me you know you said nothing changes if nothing changes I thought about it and I went home and I applied for a job I'm probably not qualified for but I was like I'll take a shot and

the next day I get a uh call from them at the interview it goes well she says she's going to set me up with uh person interview never even had it they uh email me few days later and I got the job so now I'm going to be doing a job that I think I will appreciate more and enjoy more and I'll be making double the money that I'm making now bro that's awesome man that's really great congratulations for trying something new yeah it's crazy to sometimes think like what can happen if we decide I'm

going to see what happens when I decide that I am qualified what happens when I decide for myself that I'm going to do something different I've made huge huge huge developments while I was staying up until 400 in the morning 5: in the morning running a nightlife business you can make huge developments in your personal growth Journey while you're doing a 9 to-5 you have this moment where you go well what if what if this is the time sobriety sticks what what if I go to therapy and I actually do change the way that I

think what if I could get out of debt if that person did it maybe I could do it and without either hope or that kind of rock bottom moment I don't think you're going to change we can stay here get the [ __ ] kicked out of us or we can fight our way back into the light right we can climb out of hell 1 in at a time you are responsible for your life and if you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you to fix you to even help you you are wasting your

time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward what matters is now this moment and your willingness to see this moment for what it is accept it forgive the past take responsibility and move forward I came to realize that all the time I was praying to God asking for God to do something God was waiting on me how many times do you have to hear if nothing changes nothing changes right and yet somehow we expect things to change you're always afraid to take the first step because all you see

is every negative thing 10 Mi down the road but you can do anything you want you are bound by nothing the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world and you did but somewhere along the line you changed you stopped being you you let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good and when things got hard you started looking for something to blame like a big shadow I'm going to have setbacks I know but if I'm feeling bad that doesn't mean I'm doing bad that

doesn't mean I am bad that doesn't mean that I can't still take some action because yeah nothing changes and nothing changes man cuz if you're thinking then you're not taking action and if you're not taking action then there's no consequence and if there's no consequence and there's nothing to be afraid of the overthinking can be an excuse for actual fear it doesn't matter whether I achieve all of my goals or I don't achieve all of the goals in three generations I'll be forgotten and the only people who were naying against me will also be dead

and so then it's like just do it for me you know we'll sit around forever wondering well what if I what if I was a dog catcher would I be the best what if I was a you know we expect things to change you think you're going to get in better shape you think you're going to get more money you think your relationship is going to improve you think you're going to get promoted you think you're going to get a raise you think the world is going to get better without you doing anything but it

isn't nothing is going to change unless you change what you're doing change the time that you wake up change what you do when you get out of bed that's what you need to do you have to change some things or nothing will change so make changes and start little get up a little bit earlier get a workout done that's what you need to do a positive place that you draw mental strength from when life is difficult has to be I just want to be better and I'm trying my best that's all that there is you

want to be better that is something to be proud of you want to leave it all on the field of play you want to make yourself as good as you can you want to make the world a better place you want to have an impact all of these things are just all positives what really breaks my heart is how stuck people are and that there are things you can do to change your life for the better if you don't have hope and you don't have this breakthrough where you have for just a millisecond this Insight

where you go well what if things did work out if you don't have that moment most people stay so stuck in resignation if you are trying to battle the same boss over and over again and you don't change what you're doing and the boss keeps beating you then it's not the game's problem it's your problem you are the problem I was not always this strong strong guy you see I went through a lot of hard times in my life to get here today and um a story I'll tell you with real quick I tried once

to get in the air force to be Air Force parir rescan and I quit for fear of the water I was 175 lbs I left the Air Force 4 years later at 300 lb I went from 175 to 300 lb there's a long story in there on how that came to be you're going to lose sleep you'll doubt whether it'll work you'll stress to make ends meet you won't finish your to-do list you'll wonder whether you made the right call and have no way to know for yours this is what hard feels like and that's

okay everything worth doing is hard and the more worth doing it is the harder it is the greater the payoff the greater the hardship if it's hard good it means no one else will do it more for you why pay the price why work this hard why go this far why try to learn this much why try to to do it all Why Try To See It All why try to have it all why do it why learn it why study why put yourself out why try to take on this much responsibility why develop yourself

to the full Why Try to become all that you can possibly become so I Define learning by same condition new behavior and so when you go to to a video game and you battle through the level and you battle the boss if you keep doing the same thing to the boss and you keep losing then you have not learned because you have the same condition and the same behavior and so I often say that like for anyone who's listening to this podcast if the goal is to get better and you're like man I really want

to learn from thinking this podcast if you listen to this podcast and then you're in the same exact conditions as you were before and then you do not change your behavior you learned nothing and so using that definition has at least allowed me to change my behavior faster which then goes into rate of learning which I Define as intelligence and so a lot of people are like man he's so smart but he just doesn't it's like well then if he doesn't change his behavior and he's in the same conditions he's not that smart the more

that you're able to let go and not fear about stuff the more enjoyable you'll find it so the thing that is making you better is the thing which is making you feel pain and this is a perennial balance what would have had to have happened in a week for you to look back on that week with pride Maybe stop breaking promises to yourself when you say I'm going to wake up tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. and when the option comes to hit the snooze button don't do it there's one win that you've got for the day

that's action the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception which means that you are not with other people and rather than fighting that or boning it see it as an indicator that you're on the right path because if everyone else were cheering you on then it means you're not in the right place because it means you're just like everyone else and that's not where you want to be when you were born you are a phenomenon you are unique your DNA has never occurred in the history of the universe going back billions of

years it will never occur in the future your life experiences with your parents and everything that you experienced in your early years going on up is unique it's yours you're one of a kind right so that is your source of power to waste that is just the worst thing you can do in your life and what what the power is is finding that uniqueness what makes you you and how you can M that and how you can go deep into it and use that to create a career path it's supposed to be hard if it

wasn't hard everyone would do it the hard is what makes it [Music] great you need to just keep living listen to the pain it's both history teacher and fortune teller pain teaches us who we are we sometimes it's so bad we feel like we're dying but we can't really live till we died a little can we people don't get it there's there's great joy in The Grind Great Joy in the suffer it it totally cleanses your body out man of any kind of hate makes you grow up what I want to invite you to do

what I want you to consider is that every single time you go and do something hard that's story you've told yourself that it's easier said than done you know it's it's kind of hard to do that well it's supposed to be hard look if growing stronger if growing stronger and building muscle wereing easy you'd have no reason to go to the gym you'd have no there would be no growth if there was no Challenge and I'm answering your questions every question I'm answering it I'm with you but in the back of my mind all I'm

thinking about is all the times I could have won those matches that I lost by not bringing my best mindset you're haunted by all the opportunities that you missed by not bringing your best at that time when you could have won but you didn't win because you allowed life to interfere with that one shot when you're sitting there getting ready to serve for the match and your mind is not thinking about where that bald place needs to be but thinking about your family this or this at work or that at work that's greatness greatness is

your recall on every single shot that you missed throughout a 20-some year career every shot you can go back and say I was here this person was in the red shirt there greatness is being so aware of the time of life in the second that went by and you can recall like it was yesterday greatness is being able to go back there not making that same mistake again and being haunted by it there really are only two macr level motivators that we have in life and that's Pleasure and Pain I want people to understand is

okay so if nature only gave you two things to motivate you Pleasure and Pain why would you eliminate half of them and so most people think that life is about avoiding the pain I'm here to tell you right now in a very controlled fashion it is about really experiencing the pain learning from it pain plus reflection equals progress us failure has been achieved Thank God now the only place to go from failure is to win you have to achieve failure you have to take it that far nobody wants to go that far it's too scary

but you know something I got news for you that's where winning is it always has been the one thing I would tell them is and I would tell them to get tattooed on your arm like and they would say it's supposed to be hard you say you are morally obligated to do remarkable things M why well I think partly because life is so difficult and challenging that unless you give it everything you have the chances are very high that it will embitter you and then you'll be a force for darkness and not good and so

you know the fact that life is short and can be brutal can terrify you into hiding and avoiding you can flip that on its head and understand that since you're all in anyways you might as well take the risks that are adventurous there isn't anything more adventurous than the truth so why is that a moral obligation well if you hide and you don't let what's inside of you out and you don't bring into the world what you could bring and you become cynical and bitter you will start doing very dark things not only will you

not add to the world what you could add but you'll start being jealous of people who are competent and doing well and work to destroy them so that's the pathway to Hell really Sun don't stop for nobody man Sun don't stop Sun going to be up in the morning regardless that Sun is going to be up in the morning regard regardless of how I feel and how depressed I am the Sun is going to shine in the morning and at night time the moon going to be there and you going to look up these days

going to keep going by so do you let the days go by and look up and you done wasted a year doing what what do you just pick it up all right got to figure it out made some mistakes life goes on let me figure out life from this point you want to become best you want to become champion and now you want to say like you're tired who cares you're tired or not nobody car about you he was tired you have personal problem family nobody we're all writing a book what's your book look like

what does youring book look like like your your life is a book you got a bunch of chapters in your book but when they Clos that book how good was the book how good was your book what was the ending to your book what was really your work ethic like and for how long did you stay disciplined um well I mean I mean every day I mean since you know for 20 years was everyday process and trying to figure out shrimps and weaknesses for example jumping ability man my vertical was a 40 wasn't a 46

or 40 45 um my hands are big but they're not massive right so you got to figure out ways to strengthen them so your hands are strong enough to be able to Palm a ball and do the things that you need to do uh quickness I was quick but not insanely quick I was fast but not ridiculously fast right so I had to rely on skill a lot more I had to rely on angles a lot more I had to study the game a lot more and it just never changed what I found is that

winning do happen on show day it happens in those early mornings painful workouts long cardio sessions and hungry nights happens in those moments of fear we all have when faced with a difficult goal and then more so in what you make of that fear it happens in every second of every day before you win if you can take every opportunity you have to bring yourself closer to your goal win every one of those opportunities all while becoming more resilient in the process how can you lose that is an exciting opportunity I became obsessed with being

the baddest that God ever created am I that I don't care I believe it and I was trying to tell him once you become obsessed with something obsessed it's okay to be unbalanced for a while it's okay don't be all this stuff people say you got to be balanced to be the best in the world at what you do it's not about being a Navy SEAL people the best at what you do you have to be in Balance to find every bit of energy and strength that you have to pull it off how bad do

you want it there's two options to continue forward pushing upward and if you do that dream is giv birth and forever you will live in the reality of it if you stop quit throw in the Taw I promise you there's no distance you can travel far enough to find that dream again for it's dead and in its death is replaced by regret what's the least amount of sleep you play the game on is there a story where it's like you know no one knows about where you went and played the game and it was so

insane for whatever reasons no sleep you played the game with zero sleep zero sleep Z Sleep it's like you know um kids you know Natalia had a certain you know Health situation what have you and you stay up all night and then uh you got to go out and perform because fans don't know you know teammates don't know nor do they care nor should they that you've been up all night you got to perform like I see a lot of players take vacations with other players that are close friends and they'll just take vacations just

to take vacations or just hang out just to hang out like I I'm not I never did that but why why why didn't you do that well because when I retire I didn't want to have to say I wish I would have done more all week he was work hard end of the week if you don't TI it this is good question you have to worry about yourself but this is Saturday your six day you work so hard of course you're going to tired M tomorrow rest and Monday we're going to begin one more training

if you don't want go back to dagistan and stay with your mom she going to give you everyday good breakfast you don't do nothing stay there but if you come here don't complain you want to become best you want to become champion and now you want to say like you tired who cares you tired or not nobody car about he was tired he have personal problem family nobody cares a lot of people live their entire lives not fulfilling their purpose one time in my life I felt that what was my purpose till you find the

center of your being you will continue to walk going through the motions the one companion that's always going to be with you is yourself yourself is what you have and you need to encourage yourself you need to look around and you need to be able to say look I'm not stuck here unless I choose to stay here if you don't have somebody who's going to do that become that somebody what's something difficult you're going through that people don't often see I mean my mind is a storm I don't think most people would want to be

me they may think they would want to be me but they don't they don't know they don't understand there's 24 hours in the day where you're alone in this brain and your brain is talking to you in all kind of ways and it wants to control you and pull you in these different Pockets you got to tell your brain where you want to go and how you want to get there if you can't control your own brain it's over every day when you get out of bed life stand right there to kick you in the

face man life is going to throw all kinds of crazy sh you and you have to be ready for it you got toing deal with it can't curl up into a ball you can't run away from it you can't hide you have to take all this head on great things happen and really bad things happen and you got to take it all in stride and you got to pick yourself up the next day strap youring shoes back on and get out there and go to war again it's that mentality it's the mentality bring it on

mother I can take it you can't break this [ __ ] I'm stronger than you think I am and everything you throw at me and all the hardships you throw at me you might knock me down but I get back up and I'll be stronger for it it's that mentality that builds an ionic status that centuries from now people still talk about nobody cares you know at the end of the day nobody cares what we're going through how your body feels nobody cares we got to we got to do our job and uh we we

emphasize that to each other again today you know hey I got your back you got mine nobody cares man we got to go is it fair or no life is tough sometimes and it's not fair and it doesn't care sometimes um but you're going to hold true to what you believe and you're going to hold true to who you are and you're going to be that person whether it's easier or a time I go to such places in my mind and I study the darkness there was no team it was you there was no weight

loss program or Mom and Dad waking you up saying you can do it you can be better trying to build belief you built belief when you had nothing Rock Bottom I lived alone for so many years in this misery I can take myself to such a level of real real passion and purpose I've trained 99% of my life alone I did all of the work alone blowing and I never ran from anything cuz I had nobody to go to I've always had that where I'm going home to get me ain't nobody there you know what

I'm saying like so it's I've always been a situation where I'm forced to deal with it myself you always have to be the person who roots for you before everyone else does and it's usually a single clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time it is a slow clap that's just you rooting for you the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception which means that you are not with other people the superpower of learning to be alone and enjoying it these times where you just think about things just be

alone and think about things are so rare these days during those rare times is when you really get to understand what you actually believe or don't believe it's a lonely Journey you're isolated those who used to keep Pace with you will fall off they'll see where their world ends and yours begins your ability to suffer endure our work must be greater you must be willing to extend yourself to the Limit with no guarantee of success every day you must ask yourself did I do enough there's a moment when every boy realizes no one's coming to

save him and that's when he becomes a man and some boys never get there and stay children forever no one's effing coming to save you no one no one's coming to push you no one's coming to tell you to turn the TV off no one's coming to tell you to get out the door and exercise nobody's coming to write the business plan for you it's up to you unless you understand that you've got to push yourself you're not going to make your dreams come true logically everyone need to go through the same challenges that you're

going through every single difficult thing that you do is kind of like a massive wall that you need to get over and you go wow I'm so glad that I've got over that wall and think about how many other people are going to fall at that wall what I've learned is to to to always keep going always what I've come to find out is that you know no matter what happens the storm eventually ends and when the storm does end you want to make sure that you're ready and so I've really learned to put one

foot in front of the other uh good B IND different cuz eventually that storm passes you don't show up guys you know the outcome you never get the the job never get the part never get the girl if you don't show up if you show up you're putting yourself in situation to create those opportunities and when you show up how hard do you go that's the faster that opportunity will come to life for you it's up to you guys small down payment that you're willing to pay every day to the large investment of a greater

life you only got one life guys if you work it right you only need one I told myself I couldn't quit I told myself this was going to happen this is Destiny whatever is really burning in your heart you got to really believe in yourself even when nobody else won't you got to believe in yourself and say I'm not stopping and I told myself I'd die before I stopped when you feel like giving up don't when you thinking about giving up don't when it look like you ain't going to make it keep going when they

tell you you can't come on man who are they you got to be relentless I got to thank the man up top God cuz I'm nothing without him last but not least I want to thank me I want to thank me for believing in me I want to thank me for doing all this hard work I want to thank me for having no days off I want to thank me for for never quitting but you s dog you a bad do you be yourself and make sure that you love being yourself and it's going to

be roadblocks it's going to be tribulations but always remember this is a life experience accept the experience appreciate the experience find your journey respect your journey and love it you're going to realize it one day that happiness was never about your job or your degree or being in a relationship it was never about being like the others that happiness was always about the discovery the hope the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go happiness was always about being kinder to yourself it was always about embracing the person you were becoming

one day you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself that your happiness was never in the hands of others it was always about you it was always about you just shut up and let me enjoy this pain I don't want anything to numb it I don't want anything right now those times when you get up early and you work hard those times when you stay up late and you work hard those times when you don't feel like working you're too tired you don't want to push yourself but you do

it anyway um that is actually the dream when they saw me in the gym in the Pumping Iron days they said why is it that you're working out so hard 5 hours a day 6 hours a day and you have always a smile on your face the others are working out just as hard as you do and they look sour in the face and I told people all the time I said because to me I am shooting for a goal in front of me is the Mr Universe title so every rep that I do gets

me closer to accomplishing that goal to make this goal more this Vision turn into reality every single set that I do every repetition every weight that I live will get me a step closer to turn this goal into reality so I couldn't wait to do another 500 lb squat I couldn't wait to do another 500 lb bench press I couldn't wait to do another 2,000 reps of sit-ups I couldn't wait for the next exercise but where do you go to you wake up on a morning it's cold it's wet it's dark you've got no ctage

in your knee you've got shitty shorts whatever it is that's the issue today I know every [ __ ] ain't going to do what I'm going to do I know there's a whole bunch of people with that right there that fires me up that makes me [ __ ] happy what you just said that brings joy to my life right there why cuz I know there's so many people that have the ability and just refuse to get off that couch refuse to study a few more hours refuse to go deeper to go further and that's

where I gain the advantage it's so easy to be great nowadays my friend cuz most people are weak I get happier about the harder it is because I know that no one else will follow it's a selection effect and I think if you can if you can shift from this is hard to no one else will be able to do this then it it's it flips from being this thing that you're like oh poor me to oour everyone else who's going to have to [ __ ] try be the guy who Embraces the ugly the

miserable be the guy who Embraces hard work the grind don't be afraid of being hurt don't be afraid of a second fice to some blood there was probably a 100 days where I didn't want to do anything I wanted to stay in the poor stay in my in my bed and not get out um but those were the days where you have to you have to get up and do something because I think that's really what separates the good from the great the greats do things when they don't always want to do them rich people

don't sleep 8 hours a day that's a third of your life I had 130 days in game just sitting looking at a screen playing one character in one game if you think ordinary's cool ain't no problem but if you are sitting in this room and you have extraordinary aspirations then you going to have to do extra imagine if I could put this kind of focus into something in real life and just make that seem a little bit like a video game imagine the results I could get then you have to decide if you are willing

to do the things to put you in that category you know when you're kind of addicted to it uh you can you can play at any time you cannot be sleep 8 hours a day you can't live in there late and wake up at 8:00 in the morning it's 11:00 on the East Coast the stock market been open 2 hours they already making decisions about your life and your ass was sleep and again so I was just like imagine if I could feel like that but in real life turn life into a video again the

Bible says he who loves to sleep and the folding of hands poverty will set upon you like a thief in the night I have never met anybody who became incredibly successful in any area of their life until they had suffered and sweated and sacrificed and kept their focus and fought through tears and trials and T and if you have a dream and you commit to it it will come to pass a blade a blade does not become strong it does not become tempered until it's been through the fire until it's been through the fire nobody

cares you know at the end of the day nobody cares what we're going through how your body feels nobody cares we got to we got to do our job what is the single most important thing in life for me I care about fulfillment and fulfillment is doing hard things from the age of 9 from the age of 12 I was telling my mom these things like I feel a sense of responsibility my childhood and whatnot that it was sprung up on me from a young age I just need to be responsible for people and things

for me fulfillment comes from that sense of responsibility we don't take a second to realize the purpose is always there the purpose never leaves us cuz the very purpose is you you are always the purpose the may be another purpose like being a seal or going to college or whatever but the main purpose in life is you your liness is something that has to do with you you're not connected to something deep enough you don't feel the necessity you don't feel the devil at your heels you don't feel the fact that you could very well

die tomorrow it will impel you to get something done there's no necessity behind it and the human animal the way we were created is when we feel pressure we feel the necessity to get things done we can move mountains if you're lazy you know exactly what to do exactly what to do cuz even me in my state of I can't read and write I know exactly what to do it just sucks doing it it sucks to do it most people the bottom 80% are lazy and they're looking for an easy way they're looking for a

shortcut to be successful and there are not there aren't any but if you do something repeatedly over and over you develop a habit so most people are in the habit of looking for easy ways to get the things they want to do anything successfully in life you've got to want it as bad as you want to breathe and if you want it that bad if you're willing to give it that much and life and dreams do come true anything you want can happen and become a reality I believe that sincerely and I'll die on that

thought if you think the price of winning is too high wait till you get the bill from regret and that bill from regret is generational it's just just a matter of what's important to you and what's important to you for for whatever reason you know I I felt like um I didn't feel good about myself if I wasn't doing everything I could to be the best version of myself if I felt like I left anything on the table it would eat away at me I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror right so

the reason why I can retire now and be completely comfortable about it because I know that I've done everything I could to be the best basketball player could be that's where it comes from for me you can't leave any stone unturn nobody handed me nothing if you want it go get it stop telling your Visions to other people cuz they not going to see it why you think you keep imagining opening a business why do you keep imagining buying a house why do you keep imagining driving a really nice car why do you keep imagining

getting rich one day why do you keep imagining that cuz God is talking to you he's showing you something that he has for you when when I was a kid I was wondering kind of what's the meaning of life like why are we here what's it all about and I came to the conclusion that what what really matters is trying to understand the right questions to ask no more around you want your life to be better I can't help you Lee can't help you Joe Rogan can't help you Hari can't help you Only You caning

help you grab youring balls get aing notebook and write down what the you're going to do this year and this is it you're not going to have these problems the drugs the cigarettes it all start today all right no more excuses that's the this is the year of the [ __ ] Soldier we're getting back what belongs to us and that's it a lot of people want to be successful but they want to go to the club on Thursday on Friday on Saturday on Sunday and then on Monday they're getting outperformed by everybody in theing

office and they wondering why don't I get to raise in the promotion shut your ass up that's why man get to work get back to work it's time to get back to work stop hearing yourself talk get off the podcast don't be on social media too much cut out all theing noise get back to the mental lab cuz that's where the knowledge came from expand yourself take yourself out your comfort zone do not live in your bubble put some more air in your bubble if you stay in your comfort zone that's where you will fail

you will fail in your comfort zone success is not a comfortable procedure it is a very uncomfortable thing to attempt so you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable if you ever want to be successful look I love to sugarcoat this thing for you I love to tell you look you can go out here and get rich do a couple of things D ain't happening you got to get real doggish you got to get downright funky if you want to make it now like I was telling you before if you want to be ordinary you ain't

even got to listen to me just go on about your business if you think ordinary is cool ain't no problem it's some really really wonderful Ordinary People but if you are sitting in this room and you have extraordinary aspirations then you going to have to do [Music] extra you put extra on top of extraordinary and you come up with extraordinary it's no other way all men are created equal some work harder in pre-season I'm going to say it again because you might have missed it all men are created equal some work harder in pre-season my

name is McGregor I'm Mi martial artist with the open Fighting Championship what is martials martial artist give me a focus I don't know where I would be without maral took my life that's why have to be so authentic and so real about my own insecurities my own faults just being a up person I'm I'm I'm not the best at anything I'm not gifted I'm just driven and um it's all about trying to share that message with people this is all about you know I speak to a lot of people find your impossible what is it

you think is impossible you could never quite grasp that's what you can that's what you have to go after you don't have the dream man you're you're dead you'll only go as far as you dream that's it I tell that to Comics all the time they're like I just want to make a living on it and I'm like that's all you'll do you got a dream big yeah I think people say that cuz they're trying to be humble yeah but universe doesn't reward humility man you might be humble with everybody else but you got to

tell the universe hey I want to be bigger than life yep if you give up on your dreams if you give up on your dreams what do you have left nothing I can't live that way I wasn't born to be wrapped up in bubble wrap and a blanket and set on the couch and tremble as the world goes by outside my door I want the world to tremble when I go by its door so it's a state of mind all right it's a state of mind so learn adjust what you can and uh and then

just embrace the rest of it we're all writing a book what's your book look like what does youring book look like like your your life is a book you got a bunch of chapters in your book but when they closed that book how good was the book how good was your book what was the ending to your book if the ending to my book can be so amazing because of all that was done we all like to take this four-lane highway the easy Highway has it has signs it has restaurants we all love that for

Lan Highway we always step over the show shovel and all I did was I picked up that shovel and that shovel I made my own path and you may have big boulders and sh they may be getting 200 miles up the road faster than you but going through this path of life this journey over here that you make yourself that's incredibly difficult but it comes out the other end of that is some glorious [ __ ] that you can't even explain to people and we're afraid bottom line is most of us even the people who

have all these theories and it's easier to accept the fact that I'm just not good enough I wasn't made to do that and yeah some of us can't be lebroning James but I tell you right now man we can do a lot of sh when it comes to this pureon guts and willpower and getting through sh we have a lot more with a lot more than we think we have from that day forward I made a promise that I will give it everything I got I'm ready to die for what I had to had to

succeed I have to give it everything I got that way I'm a winner no matter what the mama mentality simply means trying to be the best version of yourself that's what the mentality means it means every day you know you're trying to become better every person has the ability to put one foot in front of the other one step at a time right so like if you're saying okay I'm going to climb Mount Everest you're at the bottom of the mountain and you look up and you're going I'm not going to climb Mount Everest right

but if you break it down into sections and just one foot in front of the other one step at a time next thing you know you have to top of the mountain you can't stop you can't quit I want to be the guy that people looked at I don't care if you like me or didn't like I don't care but it said this is going to keep coming after whatever the is in front of him man I like the picture God looking down and saying yeah but that boy just won't quit he just watching he'll

get back up and he'll get up swinging and he'll try again you just don't quit get off your butt get out of those stands get in Arena get dirty get sweaty get bloody get knocked down get back up get knocked down again get back up and when people Point At You and laugh at your failure say yeah I'm in the arena with a sword in my hand and you're sitting up there in stand with a Biscuit in yours who's more proud one time in my life I felt that what was my purpose and sometimes you

graduate out of high school you look for that job you look for that Career College the degree you still question is this my purpose I want to talk to you about the center your Center your purpose one question that I always ask myself even I would always ask myself is your purpose what's your purpose for living do you know your purpose what you're created to do do you know what that is a lot of people live their entire lives not knowing entire lifetime not being happy because they feel as though they're not fulfilling their purpose

you see that man right there so like for instance let's say you have no races let's say you have no classes no nothing you have there's no purpose in your life you know people need to have purpose to get up they need purpose to perform you need to get to a point in your life where there's nothing on the docket there's no 5K there's no there's no um I'm going to get into school to be this or that and still perform to the highest level because what people don't get is one day that thing's going

to come up and if you're not constantly performing me without purpose you're not going to be ready when the time comes we've been around for 3 and2 billion years you know every single one of your relatives propagated successfully and here you are against all possible odds in this in this world of Hell in some sense and and and bitterness and and and tyranny and malevolence and yet God only knows what's inside you this capacity for Consciousness the capacity to confront potential and to turn it into something good that's us man that's the Western story that's

the individual as the Cornerstone of the state that's our responsibility and it really is who we are and so we need to know that and we need to remember it and we need to act it out and then maybe we can see what we can do about it you know and see how good we could make things and maybe that would be the purpose of your damn life right not to be happy it's like there's problems to be solved be happy after you solve the godamn things [Music] right it's this magical thing purpose that we're

all looking for but what's funny about it all is that we need these things to perform but we don't take a second to realize the purpose is always there the purpose never leaves us because the very purpose is you you are always the purpose there may be another purpose like being a seal or going to college or whatever but the main purpose in life is you so if you wake up in the morning and you don't want to do something you don't care enough about yourself and that's what you need to really research is man

why am I not doing this for myself because that is that is the number one purpose in life is to better oneself so that's the only purpose I need so the reason I get up every day even though there's no races there's no school there's nothing in front of me is because I have pride in myself and it would be so good if we could people wonder well what's the meaning of life like what's it all about what's what justifies the suffering and the misery and all of that it's like well that's what justifies it

it's like you put yourself up against that you think okay all with all of this pushing against me how much can I push back could I move the horror an inch back with with all the strength that I have at my disposal man and the answer to that is yeah you can it it makes you better with regards to yourself but it also makes the world a better place and so well so you know more of [Music] that it's easy to give up you know easy it's the easiest thing in the world to do I

I'm done I ain't going I ain't going to keep going I don't feel like going to work done it's easy it's very easy but what's hard is going yo yesterday I got nothing from working as hard as I could nothing happened from that I'm going to do the same thing again a day but I'm going to try to go harder that's the hardest thing in the world to get up every day and give 100% And and be in the same position that you were each day but mentally know that you're trying and trying and trying

that's that's a real that's a real grind we don't want to suffer we don't want to feel discomfort so the whole time we're living our lives in a very comfortable area there's no growth in that so for me I realized that the reason I became 297 lbs is because that was comfortable what was very uncomfortable was running what was very uncomfortable was being on a diet was very uncomfortable was trying to face things that I didn't want to face and I also realized when I was really big I had no growth why because I was

living comfortable so I realized for me to find growth I had to face all these different things that made me very very uncomfortable one thing I faced was running I absolutely hated running but I knew for me to grow I wanted I had to do this thing every single day I wanted to start callousing my mind I wanted to start becoming a better person person and how you become a better person how you gain mental toughness how you become the person you want to be is constantly facing the things that you don't want to face

if you constantly run away from things that you don't want to face how is there growth how is their mental toughness I can give you a class all day long about selft talk visualization eat an elephant one BT at a time but if you're never putting yourself in a situation to actually practice these things you're never going to grow I can't put you out there in a we're all going through a battle in our mind a warrior is not a person that carries a gun the biggest war you ever go through is right between your

own ears it's in your mind we're all going through a war in our mind and we have to callous our mind to fight that war and and to win that war you know the war that you have to really fight is the war against yourself you have to fight a war against yourself it's not easy to look in the mirror and to change your own life it's hard as hell you have to take responsibility you have to learn new things you have to feel uncomfortable good because discomfort is how we grow that's how we become

strong if you run away from discomfort and resistance your whole life you will always be weak just think about the gym for instance but that's where I learned most of my lessons right the muscles only grows from resistance you have to struggle you have to build strength the more I forced my hands against it steel bar the bigger the biceps getting the stronger they get and I was trying to squat 600 lb and bench press 500 lb and deadlift 700 it didn't feel like a walk in a park it wasn't easy no I was uncomfortable

it was painful I mean look at those photos I was struggling I was crying out loud in pain I don't want you to be loser I don't want you to be weak see I've spent most of my life helping people find their strength this is where the action is strength and despite all of the things that we may disagree about and all my friends who might say Arnold don't talk to those people it's not worth it I don't get what to say I care about you I thank you worth it some times you need to

get knocked down before you can really figure out what your what your fight is and how you need to fight it sometimes you need to feel the pain and sting of defeat to activate the real passion and purpose that God predestined inside of you I don't know what your future is but if you're willing to take the harder way the more complicated one the one with more failures at first than successes the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning more Victory more Glory then you will not regret it now this is your time

the younger generation quits not everybody so I got to I got to put the people get their butt hurt so not everybody most of this generation quits the second they get talked to you did this wrong you did this wrong or or they get yelled at it's so easy to you know I mean to to be great nowadays cuz everybody else is most people are weak this this is a softened generation so if you have any mental toughness any any ability you have any fraction of self-discipline the ability to not want to do it but

still do it people have a a hard thing understand I hate to run and and what makes me so crazy it doesn't need more people go why do you run if you hate it what are you talking about I don't want to take showers and eat either I hate that too the whole that's life man that and and and it wasn't until I changed that mentality that I became somebody I hated going to school so guess what I was dumb as [ __ ] that's what 1 plus one is two but if you can get

through to doing things that you hate to do on the other side is greatness that's what people understand by me running I am callous in my mind I'm not training for a race I'm training for life I'm training for the time when I get that 2:00 in the morning call that my mom is dead or something happens tragic in life I don't fall apart I'm training my mind and my body and my spirit so it's all one so I can handle what life is going to throw at me because the life I've lived it throws

a whole bunch at you and if you're not physically and mentally prepared for that you're just going to crumble and you're good for [Music] nobody going back to who I am who how I became who I am today and it comes back from hard work it comes back from having that very minimalistic mindset the first step taken towards the domination of chaos and its transformation into order is a cardinal and difficult step and so you can make it small and that's fine it'll still work so I might say well just just move the vacuum cleaner

inside your room and then I would also say to someone in that situation don't do more than that if the agreement that you've made with me and with yourself is that that's enough abide by the contract that you've written with yourself and allow yourself to be grateful for the fact that you had the courage to take even a single step forward and don't push your bloody luck because maybe you'll have a brief fit and vacuum the whole rug and then you'll be so annoyed at how you destabilized your entire life that you'll redouble your attempts

to make a mess and the place will be more like hell than ever for 2 months you have to start as low as you are useless and that's low so once you take the first step the probability that you'll take a slightly larger Second Step increases and that increases nonlinearly but as I was there for so long I got a really good chance to sit back cuz now the cold water is just water now it's no longer cold anymore your mind starts to change they say get in the water most people think about it for

you it became my life so I started learning that if you start to change your mindset versus it being like Oh my God this sucks I became a professional Bud student so I wasn't going to leave until I graduated so I started realizing if this is my home this is what I am I had to always reset the bar I had to reset my new Norm there always had to be a new Norm so one thing we don't do is we don't have a new Norm my new Norm is you get up every [ __

] morning at 4:00 and you suffer this is your new Norm that became my new [ __ ] life most people want to get out of it I said no [ __ ] this is your new life this is who you are you your new Norm is you wake up and you suffer and I started realizing if that's my mentality this [ __ ] ain't hard anymore you're [ __ ] New Normal you wake up you get in the [ __ ] cold water you're going to be here to the [ __ ] it's [

__ ] done whenever they say you're out you get out so my new Norm so I I do that now today my new Norm now is if I'm doing a 200 M run you're new Norm now man you doing 200 miles it's not a bad thing to be unique it's not a bad thing to be different it's not a bad thing to be comfortable with yourself regardless of what everybody else around you is doing if you want to be great you want to be bad motherucker ever at what you do you could be misund understood

by everybody because you're going to be so obsessed and so driven to get there that's what it takes when you are misunderstood to the point where people think you're psycho and you're nuts and you're this and that why are you in the gym at 1:00 in the morning what wrong you will never understand what is wrong with me there's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have you have to believe that something different can happen you're crazy until you're successful then you're a genius for a lot of people when you know you're

grinding as a small Channel people think you're too obsessed you're a weirdo stop only making videos like get alive be realistic you're you know I mean people will convince you you're out of your mind for wanting to to do this but then once you're successful they're like yo your drive your tenacity was great but it's like yeah well where was that back then you know what I mean I didn't get that when I was a small channel it's only delusional until it works so is it really delusional and then once the world see it there's

nothing delusional about it now your delusion becomes oh he was a genius you must try things that may not work and you must not let anyone Define your limits because of where you come from your only limit is your soul what I say is true anyone can cook but only the Fearless can be great I always felt like I could do anything that's the main thing people are controlled by thoughts their perception of them mes they're slowed down by their perception of themselves if you're taught you can't do anything you won't do anything I was

taught I could do everything you will believe in yourself reminder that if you want to be exceptional you're going to be different from everyone else that's What Makes You exceptional you can't fit in and also be exceptional both have discomfort when you fit in you have internal conflict because you're not being 100% you when you're exceptional you have external conflict because everyone sees you you is different pick one when your friends start to say you've changed remember it's because they don't know how to say you grown if you're going to try go all the way

otherwise don't even start if you're going to try go all the way this could mean losing girlfriends wives relatives jobs and maybe your mind go all the way there's no other feeling like that you'll be alone with the Gods and the nights will flame with fire all the way the fear is never Reaching Your Potential that's it that always fallen short always quitting before you're done always procrastinating always not doing the right thing and then one day you're an old man yep and you look back and go God I could have been great yep I

could have been great that's not normal cuz we don't want to be normal normality is what weak people call living I call death but where do you go to you wake up on a morning it's cold it's wet it's dark you've got no cartilage in your knee you've got shorts whatever it is that's the issue today keep talking you've got these problems right I need you to keep talking about what you were just saying it's warm on the couch your Mrs says stay in bed it's comfy it's cozy you've got work later on you had

an argument last night you're slightly hung over cuz I know every motherucker ain't going to do what I'm going to do be the now of what you want to be later but starts right now and if you're not doing the now don't ever expect a later to be the person you want to look in the mirror everyone's like oh later in life I want to do this later in life I want to do that later in life is turning around looking in the mirror right now that's the later in life andless that turn around is

something in progression later in life ain't going to be anything different relief when you turn around you're going to see something but put a smile on your face it's going to make you turn around the next day for Action turn in belief in the productivity otherwise why you in here man you in here to grow what for think guys think of where you want to be before you start what it is now it's too hard man the journey is too hard you guys start trying to follow someone else's path to success you guys are Dazed

and Confused we must travel your individual path success someone else's path's already been done it's time for you to incorporate what you believe in make your own everybody want to know what I would do if I didn't win when I guess we'll never [Music] know let me tell you about a voice not this voice but the one inside the one that Whispers it tells me what's right and what's not when to leave and where to go it's not Shakespeare it does not speak in memorable lives my inner voice always gives it to me straight tells

me who my real friends are when to say yes when to say no whether the person sitting next to me is the one I'll be spending the rest of my life with or not sometimes that voice is Crystal Clear go stay right wrong sometimes it merely Whispers don't let it drown in a noisy world because in the end no man woman or algorithm knows what's right for you always trust your inner voice everybody has one few listen to it come on Rock it's not a game come on come on get your head on your shoulders

man damn Rock come [Music] on what's the matter with you tomorrow let's do tomorrow there is no tomorrow it's over it's all over what's the truth damn it I'm afraid all right and so we wouldn't had the title as long so what at least it would have been real Adrian it was real nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are I don't believe in myself no more don't you understand you lost that fight Rock for all the wrong reasons you lost your Edge all right I know your manager dying had you all

messed up inside but the truth is you didn't look hungry now when we fought you had that Eye of the Tiger The Edge and now you got to get it back and the way to get it back is to go back to the beginning get back if your definition of success is win or lose giving everything you've got and growing or learning along the way then you're setting yourself up for success I really think the biggest cheat code in life is just going after it and not being concerned of whether or not you fail at

one specific task instead understanding the big picture what your long-term goal is and knowing if you keep driving forward and nevering quit in the end you will succeed learn to say you to the world every once in a while you have every right to just stop thinking what worrying looking over your shoulder wondering doubting fearing hurting hoping for some easy way out stop it and just do people remember this is that people are time wasters and the great majority of people have no goals they have no priorities they have no plans they have no concern

about becoming successful and they think that you're the same they think because their time isn't worth anything that your time isn't worth anything also you can be anything you want to be remember the saddest thing in life is Wast of talent you can have all the talent in the world but if you don't do the right thing then nothing happens but when you do right guess what good things happen discipline your thoughts stop sinking too much don't go into the past don't go into the future be in the present why because only then it's possible

that the mind is free the capacity is free and now you can completely immerse into whatever you are doing and this means you have arrived you have arrived Lou a moment of pain is worth a lifetime of Glory remember that the scientist in the old worldall and saying the first human being will under to hour will be in the year 2075 but I have proved them wrong the first band to run a marathon in under 2 hours one final lung busting stride for Kip Chi one giant leap for human endeavor and you know Kip chogi

was right no human is limited if you tell yourself the truth if you tell yourself the truth and the truth is I'm not happy with where I'm at that's the truth the truth is I can do more the truth is I can work harder than I'm working right now the truth is I can do more for my family the truth is I can do much better than I'm doing right now and if that's the real truth if that's what you believe if you believe that to be the truth you won't have to find more discipline

discipline will find you I'm going to say something to you you're smart you're talented you know a few things but Talent means nothing in this game if you don't make the right choice is there's plenty of talent of people out there who never see the light of day anymore last thing takes discipline because this whole game is one big long shot and if you don't have the discipline to stay away from the flyers or from the gambles or whatever else you want to call a stupid move then my friend I'm afraid to say one day

you will go down it's inevitable you want my advice make a list of everything you want now and then plan on spending the next 25 years of your life getting it slowly piece by piece 99% of these viewers watching this 99.9 overthink everything naturally if you're quite a smart guy and you're ambitious and you have big aspirations for life you're going to overthink this cuz you're thinking is this the best use of my time could I be doing something better maybe I should be doing what he's doing but no you don't need to necessarily do

what he's doing you just need to stay in your lane but just take inspiration do more think less action removes out the more you do the less you have time to doubt and overthink things everything changed for me when I realized that we're not meant to feel excited and perfect all the time I started accepting that where I am right now is where I'm genuinely meant to be tough days are all a part of the process lean into them bad days are also part of a very good and meaningful life so on my toughest days

I think about getting through one more day one more workout one more rep why do I stand up here I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way see the world looks very different from up here there can be no growth without goals as soon as he said you do not rise to the level of your goals you fall to the level of your systems I think people stopped thinking about goals and he made a really great argument which was everybody at the start line of

the 100 meter race has the same goal it's to win so it's not the person who has the best goals it's the person who has the best systems in preparation never try to be better than someone else always learn from others and never cease trying to be the best you could be that's under your control and if you get too engrossed and involved and concerned in regard to things over which you have no control it will adversely affect the things over which you have control you got to want it first then you got to work

it then you have the opportunity to win it but it all starts with your want you got to want this I can't want this for you you got to want this like no other then the work has to happen and see the work and the w got to add up together to one each other then that puts you in a position to win ain't nobody giving you no W the person you have to spend the most time listening to in your life is yourself try not to lose their respect how on Earth do you think

that you're going to be able to move mountains and get out of that relationship that you don't like and move countries or change career when you can't not hit snooze even though last night you promised yourself that you weren't going to hit snooze and it's how people that are able to do extraordin things have been able to get that whatever I'm afraid to do I do it and that's my personality like right now I'm I'm scared to death but as the fight gets closer the less nervous I become because it's reality and reality I'm Invincible

losers let it happen winners make it happen losers see thunderstorms winners see rainbows losers see icy streets winners put on their ice skates losers take chances winners make choices it's all in the way you choose to think but I believe um sty is relevant I believe it's the the morale behind the style mhm I think success in fighting in life is about desire and the will yeah how bad do you want it is it worth dying for that's the true greatness is the willingness to die so this thing worth greatness these are the years where

you put in the work you need to grind and you don't need to be focused on everybody else because you staying focused on everybody else you staying focused on the world is giving you a false sense of reality like sometimes you just need to unplug you just need to disappear and you just need to focus on yourself that's something I wish somebody would have told me bro because when I was a kid I was always trying to fit him I was always trying to impress other people you know I had to get the new Jays

I had to be fresh as [ __ ] I realized that I was doing all these things for the wrong reason at the end of the day I wish somebody would have just told me that nobody cares the only thing that's going to matter is the work that you put in the work that you put in throughout these next couple of years bro that is going to determine where you end up in life that's going to determine what kind of success that you get to see in your future bro I find smart people spend their

whole lifetime figuring things out they always trying to figure out an easier way and a quicker way and another thing I found out about smart people they just don't get around to do doing nothing and see somebody like Art Williams everybody said well he can't do it and somebody like that can't do it but he does it see folks I want you to know almost every almost does enough to win they almost get there they almost are over the hump they almost have it going they almost in everything they do almost is a way of

life to almost everybody in America there's a lot of potential you locked in your genetic code and then if you put yourself in a new situation then then the stress that's the situational stress that's produced by that particular situation unlocks those genes and then builds new parts of you who knows how much there is locked inside of you okay so now here's the idea so let's assume that that scales as you take on heavier and heavier loads that more and more of you you get more and more informed cuz you're doing more and more difficult

things but more and more of you gets unlocked but that's not going to come out at all unless you stress yourself unless you unless you challenge yourself and the bigger the challenge you take on the more that's going to turn on motivation is a small thing that can last 2 minutes or an hour motivation can come from listening to a a song on your iPod if you got discipline you're willing to do it every single day of your life and knowing that it's going to take so long to do it you just get up and

do it you don't even think about motivation the struggle is real it never gets any easier you got to get harder I was out yesterday getting after it had one of the best runs I've had in a long time PR that [ __ ] so no one cares what you did yesterday it a matter what you doing today for people that see someone who's a beast who's done great things you just assume that they're different than you but then you hear about your insec ities and your pitfalls and all the things that went wrong with

you and you realize well God damn it those are the same things that go wrong with me like maybe I have that inside of me and I've just never summoned it all you got to do is start changing the way you think it's as simple as it's not a magic trick you can protect yourself from negativity and that's what stops most people negative thoughts you can coat your mind from negativity it's a real simple exercise to do but to coach your mind from negativity the way you can put a coding around your mind is with

one simple thing gratitude gratitude erases negativity always stick to what makes you weird odd strange different that's your source of power which occupy your Niche embrace your strangeness identify What Makes You Different fuse those things together and become an anomaly we know when people talk about work life balance what's your honest opinion of that [ __ ] if if you actually want to build something that's going to stand the test of time and make you very successful and Rich and happy and bring other people with you it's going to take everything I fully believe that

I don't think you can half ass it I don't think it can be a side project and I don't think it can be something that's just 3 hours a day I think you've got to go fully into it to become like high level achiever like actually a winner what are you willing to sacrifice for that everything whatever is takes like Kobe Bryant wasn't doing three throws at 3:00 a.m. for no reason you got you got to be the best you got to do everything right my mom said uh you need to get a job I

said I already have a job I'm just not getting paid yet I'm working on my dream that's my job if I'm going to pay attention to my nightmare I should be able to work on my dream well some some one of them is going to take my energy I would rather give my energy to my dream than my nightmare they can adapt on under any circumstance Bruce Lee said empty your mind be formless shapeless like water now you put water into a cup it becomes the cup you put water into a bottle it becomes the

bottle you put in the teapot it becomes the teapot now water can flow or it can crash be water my friend I mean how many ultramarathons did you run in a row you somean was um I ran 8800s and 8 weekends in a row just stop and think about that ladies and gentlemen 800s means 8 100 mile races eight weekends in a row 100 mile race will put you out for 6 months right you know and you ran eight of them eight weekends or it's a it's a insane accomplishment take out the trash D the

trash is anything that is keeping you from the only thing that matters this moment here now and when you truly are in the air now you'll be amazed at what you can do and how well you can do it so this goty through working out and this guy goes hey goggin you on that winter Arc I'm like with the with the winter Arc he's like well people are like setting goals for the winter time like working out more sleeping more just better habits and goal setting [ __ ] like that I go [ __ ]

I'm on that 365 it's not an arc it's a circle I've been on it for like 30 years it's a circle that keeps going around and round and round winter spring summer fall Mother winter spring summer fall have enough pride in your self to not have this hacky [ __ ] to get motivated love yourself enough to stay motivated 360 5 Arc do a circle you can live a whole lifetime without ever being awake people are not the thoughts they think they are and it brings them all kinds of sadness mind is just a reflex

organ reacts to everything we procrastinate because we're still holding on to the person that we used to be some of us just really don't want to grow up we know that deep down inside out of our heads that there's something more important that we need to be doing whatever comes to your mind bro on a day-to-day basis that you keep putting off that is what you need to be doing bro because that's what's going to make you great I want to read you the best line I've ever heard in my life sometimes when you're in

a dark place you think you've been buried but actually you've been planted developing the wisdom to apply the right leverage in the right place at the right time take out the trash take out the trash the trash is up here that's the first part of your training learning to throw out everything you don't need in here just remember that you might not be wearing a cape you might not have any magic powers but you have the ultimate power and that is human will you cannot wish for a strong character and an easy life each is

the price of the other what if what you're going through isn't hard what if you're just sensitive it's not about perfection or Victory or invulnerability he's about absolute vulnerability that's the only true courage what kind of training you think I could do I just had an accident the accident is your training life is choice you can choose to be a victim or anything else you'd like to be just ignore what happened to me a warrior axe only a fool reacts what if I can't do it that's a future thought out well how would we start

there is no starting or stopping only doing nearly all of humanity shares your predicament and you have to make think big bets in order to win big but at the same time you have to be willing to go to zero train study work practice train study work practice train study work practice and eventually you will increase your confidence if you don't get what you want you suffer and even when you get get exactly what you want you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever America was built on the backs of men who

smoked cigarettes drove without seat belts and had bacon for breakfast if you miss your biohacking routine this morning you're going to be okay there's a time for leverage but there's also a time for violence which is just brute force people get really obsessed with optimal which is getting the most bang for your book but there's also maximizing which is just getting the most bucks you lose more life trying to optimize everything than just living it the stress of trying to be perfect is killing you more quickly than your imperfections life is a mystery don't waste

time trying to figure it out humor keep a sense of humor especially about yourself it is a strength beyond all measure change now that nothing stays the same a quote that I live by um early to bed early to rise makes a man young wealthy and wise your haters will become your congratulator and the more Stones they throw at your ass your Mansion going to get bigger you want to be that one mother that every day whether it's raining snowing sleeping you lost every dime your mom died your dad died you come and you bring

the energy that it takes to make a team function at the highest level every day and that's the person you want to be every day of your life the stoic philosopher is the man who has liberated himself from fear he's not afraid of death he's not afraid of pain he's not afraid of other people's dismissal as a fool the only thing he cares about is that he should meet his moral obligations greatness is the perception that virtue is enough an organized Soul which pursues rationally the ends which are good for all human beings that's the

stoic conception of virtue they finally understand their greatness consists in the fact that they perceive that virtue is enough because while everybody's over here being cool and I tell people this all the time there's no future in cool that's a trend that's a fad it comes and it goes just like Dope Money dope money comes quick and leaves quicker okay we're here for a slow but a for show this is aeran not a Sprint which is short steps long Vision General ambition gives you anxiety specific ambition gives you Direction there is nothing more anxiety inducing

than I want to be better and I don't know what at and I don't know how remember it's not what you have but what you do with what you have that separates winners from losers it's not what happens to you but how you respond to what happens to you that counts in the final analysis your response to the adversity of life is the real measure of who you are and What You're Made Of The Greek philosopher epicus once said that circumstances do not make the man or woman they merely reveal him to himself I'm fascinated

by courage and hope and self-belief and and faith in order to do to let go of something good for the chance at something that you think could be great it was a big risk it was a big chance and it it was no guaranteed return ticket it was a one-way ticket possibly to I'm a head coach of high school football to this day oneway ticket to a dead end if you've tried several several several several times to complete whatever mission is in front of you and you can't sometimes it's not meant to be but that

said there's very few times it's not meant to be so there's sometimes you need to [ __ ] throw in the towel but there's a lot of times when throwing in a tow too early will take away your shot at the person that you should have been let me state it this way will your belief that you going to be viewed as a failure by your uncle be the sole reason that you live the rest of your life below your potential and regret everything that you don't do because of Uncle Tom I believe desire and

will to win is everything I don't know why I'm like I am but my butt's always burning there's always something to say 't Dad G you're supposed to go for 't Dad G you're supposed to be somebody you're supposed to make a difference with your life what does the $500,000 year person do the $50,000 year person doesn't do but the winners do it what do they do they do whatever it takes to get the job done they do it and do it and do it and do it and do it until the job gets done

and then they talk about how great it is to be somebody they're proud of we need leaders in America who can do it if you want to become somebody do it if you want to go in business for yourself do it if you want to become financially independent do it he pays the price a little bit more he works hard in a little bit more he's loyal to the country a little bit more he blees in a little bit more he makes money in a little bit more he saves money a little bit more if

you want to win you got to be tough and you can't quit when it comes to kind of like potential energy versus reality for people on their way up there's this huge time delay between when we start behaving in a way that a winner behaves and when we start winning and the problem is that the bigger the mountain you're trying to climb the bigger the W you're trying to get typically the more delayed it is yeah between when you start behaving like a winner and when you start being a winner and most people don't get

the fast enough feedback loop to know that they're on the right path when they are taking these first steps in the right direction because they have this really big goal but they forget that with that really big goal comes the even longer delay that it takes to get there I need the positive reinforcement but the positive reinforcement is coming from me internally there's only one way I know to beat people who copy you get bigger it's not by direct conflict but by making them shrink into irrelevance by comparison I'm telling you for things to get

better you got to get better don't ask for it to change out there ask for you to change here don't ask for a more favorable wind we call that naive don't ask for better seed better soil this is the only planet you got just ask that you can get wise and stronger and better be able to take care of your own responsibilities get better for everybody out there bottom line entrepreneurship is get ready to lose get ready to fail enjoy the win why because then you appreciate it if you win all the time then you

don't know what loss feels like but when you know what loss feels like and failure feels like then you work really really really hard when you get a w when you get a win to protect it anytime y'all having this little voice they call it the big voice anytime you having this voice in your head turn on a camera and say that [ __ ] to the camera oh I don't feel like going to the gym today I don't maybe I should just call off a work say that to the camera now David Goin say

that [ __ ] but I got one better for y'all say that [ __ ] to y'all kids say that to your little brother say that [ __ ] to your wife say that [ __ ] to your girlfriend say that [ __ ] to your grandmother who's probably about to pass away just say that [ __ ] real quick you can't can't you whatever you don't use you lose lack of use causes loss if you tie your arm to your body leave it there long enough you'll never use it again it's over for the

arm now it may not be over but it's over for the arm the only way to keep the use of this arm is what keep using it if you quit you lose automatically they don't bring it up for a vote you lose automatically when you quit now the same thing that goes for your arm goes for your brain mentality the same thing goes for all the human virtues ambition unused [Music] declines strong feelings unused diminish it doesn't grow it diminishes Faith unused decreases it's a law Vitality unused diminishes energy unused decreases you are Your Own

Worst Enemy you waste precious time dreaming of the future instead of engaging in the present since nothing seems urgent to you you're only half involved in what you do [Music] even if it's not easy even if it's hard it's easier than not doing it and wishing that you had done it everyone's hypocritical and terrified to do anything and put themselves out there and fail so we hyper analyze hyper criticize become paralyzed and end up doing nothing sitting in our basements watching Tik toks of other people's lives pretending that they're happy I was having one of

those cynical days and felt like ranting a little but honestly there's optimism here for some low barrier of Entry personal growth stop analyzing stop izing both yourself and others and Go fail at some [ __ ] go give someone a good job for sucking at something because at least they're trying maybe will even give yourself permission to do the same we find meaning in trying difficult things not just in succeeding at them the second I got my head out of my and I realized man you can achieve a lot of [ __ ] if you

get off your ass you start moving and you start motivating yourself fact we saw clearly that without the lessons that we had learned from our mistakes we would have have surely died in the desert and when you look back on any achievement you will find it was preceded by many difficulties and many lessons they are the price that you pay for your success and no success is possible without them people are walking around brother and they're setting themselves up for failure they wake up there on their phones till 12:00 in the bed scrolling they don't

study they don't learn they don't self-develop people are just trying to make it win-win-win no just get rid of their deficits and the rest will just flourish people that win longterm are the people that make it so hard to lose that it becomes easy to win imagine you just set yourself up for Success you open up your calendar it's set up for Success you open up your YouTube it's set up for Success you open up your phone book it's set up for Success your relationship it's set up for Success winning was just kind of like

inevitable so set up the systems in your life when you see what men can do when pushed beyond the limit of human capacity when you see that when you hear about it when you read about it well then remember to push push yourself push yourself every day every moment get out there and get after it but you know what I discovered when you working at your dream somebody said the hter the battle the sweeter the victory it's good to you why see when you when it's hard and there's a struggle see what you become in

the process is more important than the dream that's far more important the kind of of person you become the character that you build the courage that you develop the faith that you're manifesting oh it's it's it's something that you get up in the morning you look yourself in the mirror you're a different kind of person you walk with a different kind of spirit and people know that you know what life is that you have embraced life you knew it was hard but you did it hard if you stay in bed if you stay on the

couch if you stay in your comfort zone if you only do what is easy your life will be hard but if you do what is hard if you get up if you grind if you are Relentless if you work as hard as possible when other people are slacking off your life will be easy people limit themselves in a crazy way they're like oh yeah everybody can't do it it's like you said it's like no everybody can't do it it takes a lot you know what I mean you got to go through the [ __ ]

to get it Michael Jordan I interviewed him years ago and I said what makes you the best in the world is it skill is it Talent is it ability is it background is it training and he was so awesome he said Tony I can tell you the truth and it won't sound like hyperbole or false modesty he said I didn't even make the high school basketball team my sophomore year I was cut he said what it is is every day I demand more for myself than anybody else could possibly expect I don't compete with other

people I compete with what I'm capable of the problem in in this world you see is is instant gratification everybody wants it ow if you want the future to change for you you've got to change if you don't change the next six years of your life is going to be just like the last six you'll still be behind on your bills you'll still be behind on your promises if you will change everything will change for you if you will get better everything will get better for you if you'll change your philosophy you'll change your habits

if you'll refine your thinking if you'll change and accept some new disciplines if you'll turn the corner where you've been in the past go for a new life for the future all kinds of remarkable things will happen for you if you will change do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be and so anytime you got to be courageous let's look at it from the standpoint of Dreams goals and aspirations you got your dream your goal and your aspiration and then you got reality mhm right and often times reality

doesn't reflect the goal the Dream and the aspiration and so when you think courage like being courageous and following your heart because it somehow knows what you want to do anyway like it's almost like instinct right it's almost like when you feel something that you should do and for some strange reason like your mind or your spirit tells you no I don't want to do it because it takes you outside of your comfort zone and it puts you in a space and place that may be unknown or or puts you in a space in place

of Uncharted Territory but you know you should do it you could fill it right and then you go against it that the magic you're looking for in life is in the work you're avoiding and that just like kind of rock the there's something that you know you should be doing whether it be working on yourself losing weight uh writing something working on your career the magic you're looking for in life is in the work you're avoiding everybody wants to be a star everybody wants success everybody wants to have money you got to work at it

if you really want to be successful you have to work at it nothing is achieved without some perspiration nothing anything that's it's worth anything you have to work on it one more time and even if you're not where you want to be in life and you're grinding and you're on that hustle keep grinding but also appreciate it appreciate that hustle appreciate this thing appreciate this beautiful chaotic unknown existence you're in the thing we call life I love me so the day that you decide to stop loving me I'm I'm not going to love myself any

less I believe in me if you stop believing in me I'm not going to believe in myself any less if you believe that I'm irrelevant that no one is checking for me and that I don't mean anything to the world because you think or believe that about me it doesn't believe it doesn't mean that I'm going to believe it about myself refine your goals I don't know what Ambitions you've had up until now now but this weekend would be a good time to start the process here's the next one believe in yourself and you've got

to believe in the possibilities You've Got to Believe In the economy you've got to believe that tomorrow can be better than today but here's the big one believe in yourself there isn't a skill you can't learn there isn't a discipline you can't try there isn't a class you couldn't take there isn't a book you couldn't read ask for wisdom this is communication of the highest Source ask for wisdom that creates answers ask for the wisdom that creates Faith to believe things are possible to live life you need problems if you get everything you want the

minute you want it what's the point of living hey man look I don't know if you realize this but the life that you want to live not just going to fall in your La I mean something's going to start clicking in your head that doing the bare minimum not going to take it to the height that you want to reach I mean you got all the potential in the world but it don't mean nothing if you don't maximize it so I need you to lock in and come you supposed to be sure ain't it says

try not to resist the changes that come your way instead let life live through you and do not worry that your life is turning upside down or not going the way that you want it to how do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one that's to come I don't negotiate with myself I tell my brain I don't go oh wait I'm not ready or let me let me count to 10 or maybe I'll do it tomorrow that pattern of thinking is what destroys most people's lives and their dreams

you can settle for a life like most people have or you can create your dreams but to do it you need to be able to push yourself so you need to train yourself in little ways or it could be just going and lifting weights and you're going to do like 10 minutes of pushing yourself or a Sprint or a really fast walk anything cuz when you get your blood pushing when you push Beyond what's comfortable it develops this determination inside you this sense of will that you will then use everywhere else I always say if

you discipline your yourself in one area of your life you're going to be able to do even more in other areas I I was wondering what your thoughts are on how to know that you're doing enough so first thing you have the self-awareness like you see the thing for what it is you're not in the Matrix right you're seeing the code I just tried to outrun and outwork that sensation if I just go faster and harder and work longer hours chastise myself more maybe eventually I'll get to the stage where things go well maybe that

will fill the internal voice it is far easier to achieve our material desires than to renounce them and you have this desire which sounds like a inner fire that you want to make a dent in the world you want to do something stop fighting it stop fighting the fact that you want to try and work harder should you aim to try and discover self- lovers early as possible probably a good idea spend your 20s seeing how hard you can work because if push comes to shove and a catastrophe occurs in your business or your personal

life or something at 42 you want to be able to turn around and go for half a decade I've ended worlds with how hard I worked and how resilient I became and stuff like that the way that I look back on what I did was sure it was difficult at the time and and could I have had more fun and all the rest of it with the self Lov thing of maybe being able to get there sooner perhaps I had to earn my stripes and if you're built the way that it sounds like you're built

which is not too dis similar to the way that I'm built and maybe a lot of the people in this room as well you just need to put the work in the life we live guys is a differential margins that's almost unmeasurable what is successful and what is failure the differantial are so small we're talking about seconds we're talking about you know reps we're talking about the finest Echelon of measurement that will make or break someone's life to be successful at that moment and once at that moment successful that gives a birth of a lifestyle

that's unbeatable second to none but in order to have that first success you must assure yourself that you're giving it all you can today because the future we we don't know do we we're training for that and when I hear people say terms like good enough bothers me to an Nth Degree because they are saying something that is Justified at the moment but not quantitative until a future Endeavor of life so therefore they are passing judgment on now for a future event that they knew nothing about The Confident person was not born confident a confident

person is built Brick by Brick by Brick and all of those bricks are just different results that they got in their life so your brain needs pressure it needs constant pressure and stress and pressure is not a bad thing we have this thing where we feel like stress is bad it's bad for you bad you know you need to relax man you need to chill stress will kill you no being bored will kill you not having anything to do will kill you is much more dangerous than stress yes you can work too hard you can

work where there's no soul involved I work like a fiend cuz I'm writing a book and it's a very hard process for me and I'm working far too much but man I love it good enough if you think about it good is a positive enough is a negative that's an oxymoron right there it's hypocritical on its own sense there is nothing that's ever good enough the only thing that's enough is at the end of the day the anth hour the final hour or whatever you're going for that your hand is raised victoriously that's when you

know it's enough and you're in the gym right now to ensure that that event goes your way it will never go your way guys if you're saying today is good enough if you never say good enough today I promise you tomorrow will always be enough whenever good enough isn't enough you can bet tomorrow you'll have enough each person's income is determined primarily by their philosophy not by the economy once I understood that then I said well I don't have to go to work on the economy and the answer was no you only have to go

to work on yourself to make yourself more valuable because it doesn't take but a few ideas to make a great difference in your income personal life social life and all the rest the margins guys in life that dictates a champion someone let's remember and not God the leges of Life the role models the one that stands those tests of time I always talk about don't know terms like good enough Mr hard and they failed over and over and over again so many times that they've learned what it takes to succeed with failure comes success and

with success comes blueprints the fundamental principles that lead to success it just takes work shitloads and shitloads of work every time I try and dress it up or cut a corner I get brutally reminded the work just needs doing the work doesn't care who you are it just cares that it gets done I'm actually going to reverse quote David gogins on this one I love this quote that he has which he says there's no shortcut for you David or I heard him say that and I just love that as a refrain which is that a

lot of people look for a shortcut but the idea that you say like they're not for you you don't get to use them you are immune to shortcuts I just love it because then it it just further shortcuts the path to the work that needs to get done you should push yourself beyond your limits of tolerance to find out where it is how much can you work how disciplined can you become like can you work 12 hours a day can you work 8 hours a day can you 3 hours a day like flat out where's

your limit and how much how much work can you do and how much socialization you should find out push yourself past and then back off to to that point where it's optimally sustainable you have the opportunity to prevent catastrophe in your own life but in order to do that once again you have to stand up you have to do the right thing you have to be uncomfortable you have to impose the discipline on your own life stop listening to the m of life and everyone's saying the way it is is the way it's going to

be for you the way it is for you is Blood Sweat and Tears today to create a foundation the strength of Tomorrow those days combined into whatever dream you want to be a reality we always fighting for that edge always fighting for that opportunity so it's not pass it's not missed but lived we're not going to cry about those opportunities we're going to smile remember them and think time they came cuz we were ready game you won't be ready but today is imp pushed with the strenuous nature and and the pressure of the moment in

the future that everything rides on there's several days I don't want to do [ __ ] I procrastinate like a mother this one of those days man I put my shoes and my socks and my shorts on every day woke up this morning and just stared at them didn't want to do sh didn't know why I was doing this so we have to always remember our purpose will always be there I have nothing in front of me right now no race no nothing but the purpose is myself your mind has to be stronger than your

feelings on those bad days when you think that you're alone you just might be cuz you know why no one else wants to do it so you be the mother that always gets it done you can't go back once you started this damn Journey you can only go forward so you got two choices one you get scared you give up when the second one it's like get it fear then you Barrel through it and when you come out on the other side I guarantee you you're going to be stronger than you ever thought possible that's

stress with everybody on you and is a make or break moment in your life must exist today with no one watching if that's ever going to happen your way you need that X Factor you need that leg up it's too [ __ ] hard this workout will ensure that you never had the question your intensity you make it through this guys you're going to make it through life I said leg up cuz that's what it is it's a leg workout and it will bring you a leg up in life it's intense man I'm like sure

I'm ready for it but the challenge of that inspires me the [ __ ] Rich barriers I haven't been to and I'm excited to share them with you you guys watching this share them with yourselves and your friends and together we we part of society that doesn't take second place as first there's first place and then it's forgotten leg up begins now projecting yourself forward to see what are the consequences of failing what are the consequences of stopping yep is about as powerful of a motivation strategy as I can think of you know because what

you're doing is you're trying to optimize right now to stop the discomfort that's right but what you're going to pay for that in is shame and guilt and regret long term right so what you need to be able to do is bundle all of that up that is as yet unfelt but will last for way way way longer you know the future is much longer than now right the future is going to extend out up until the day that you die and the now is just for now and even 130 hours is just 130 hours

that's right and you get to look back and do you look back with Pride and Glory or do you look back with shame and guilt one way to increase the probability that things will unfold for you properly is to is to not lie just stop lying period stop saying things you believe to be untrue stop doing things you know to be wrong just start with that you'll get closer and closer to the truth and the truth is the truth is the adventure of life that's the advantage to the truth you have the world on your

side but obviously cuz if you're lying about things you're opposing reality who are you who are you to oppose reality good luck come here Brock you do Jeremy what am I in trouble now not yet I want to see you do the death crawl again except I want to see your absolute best what you going to go to the 30 think you can go to the 50 the 50 I can go to the 50 if nobody's on my back think you can do it with Jeremy on your back but even if you can I want

you to promise me you're going to do your best all right all right one more thing I want you do it blindfold oh why cuz I want you giving up at a certain point when you can go further get down Jeremy get on his back let's go Brock even use off the ground just your hands and feet there you go little bit left keep moving Brock that's it that's it that's it keep going I want everything you got come on keep going it hurts don't quit on me your very best keep driving keep driving there

his lowest a lot of mornings I wake up and say your feelings sometimes you have to go beyond what you're feeling you know okay this hurts that hurts we can just sit down and do nothing or we can see how far we can push the human body so on that Journey as I started getting more and more into my mind and start realizing that while what I'm capable of doing my mind got stronger so the so the pain in my knees while it sucked I've been doing it for so long it was like it became

my new Norm I think monk mode is a very good excuse for people that are introverted to feel Noble in their introversion and it turns something which is like an aversion to going out into the world an aversion to making friends or putting yourself in uncomfortable social situations it turns that from something which is a flaw to something which is a virtue and you begin to get Prestige for actually not doing that thing and so many people there's this idea called the inner Citadel by Isaiah bin and it basically says that if you can't get

what you want you must teach yourself to want what you can get 30 more steps you keep going Brock come on keep going burn and Let It Burn are burning it's all hard you keep going Brock come on come on keep going you promise me your best you're best don't stop keep going too hard it's not too hard you keep going come on Brock give me more give me more keep going 20 more steps 20 more keep going BR give me your best don't quit no keep going keep going keep going don't quit don't quit

been going over in terms of amending your philosophy or going back and you know redoing some stuff that you might have messed up but face all your fears that's how you conquer them don't dismiss them just face them say here's what I'm afraid I wonder what I could do to change that here's the next one exercise your willpower to change Direction you don't have to keep doing what you've done the last 6 years if it's not yielding you the benefits you want my mentor helped me to review the last six years so I wouldn't repeat

those errors the next six see if you're a goose you have no choice to do the next six like you did the last six but if you're not a goose here's what you can do pick a new destination and start going that way you say well I've done this for the last 2 years I'll probably have to do it another the answer is no not in a million years now you can change one little degree at a time or if you want to you can revolutionize the whole thing look I'm sorry your life turned out

so bad but don't blame me you messed it up yourself you just focused on the bad stuff when all you had to do was let go of the past and keep moving forward you look at YouTube and I see guys have Mike Tyson Immortal Mike Tyson God and um I'm not worthy of that you are Mike I'm not for somebody worth to praise me anything no I'm always just Mike can I say something you say anything I love for you to talk to me [Music] brother you had to go through all of that so that

you could change the world [Music] dude really yeah I don't see that I don't know you don't realize how many lives you're changing saving [Music] because of who you are and what you've been through and how you're willing to speak about it now it was the beginning of this thing or I caught that red light and therefore made me 60 seconds later to get to that Cafe where I met that movie producer or that woman who became my wife or whatever that is they don't make sense at the time but boy looking back it's all

of science is that quote about uh the ironic tragedy is that life has to be lived forward but only Mak sense in Reverse yeah you know what happens most you guys won't do the damn work you know why you're not disciplined you're distracted in this room we will recreate you tomorrow I will tell you this it's not a one-day deal it's the rest of your life deal you make the decision to level up every single day for the rest of your life do you hear me how many of you are prepared to die for what

you want how many of you are really prepared to go all in not care about getting embarrassed don't care what anyone else thinks about you other people are running your life it's time for you to take back control of your life how to go from average to Fortune there's five simple steps you might like to make a note of them here's the first one get serious you don't have to be Grim but you must be serious I know a guy that's got a half a dozen jokes keeping him from becoming wealthy he's not known as

Rich he's known as a joker which I guess is okay if that's the kind of life you want to live but it really isn't the best way to live to go from average to Fortune you must get serious and you must get serious about two very important things number one is setting your goals and where you want to go designing the next five the next 10 years is so vitally important then you have to get serious about another important subject and that important subject is called personal development personal development is striving hard to become the

kind of person that you want to be 10 years from now you will surely become someone the big question is who you have to fail failure is a part of the process to becoming successful I tell people this all the time Michael Jordan the greatest basketball player in the world he took 946 game-winning shots 946 times since he was in high school the ball has been in his hand to take the game when he shot with no time on the clock he has only made 146 of those he has missed over 700 times but he

has made 146 you know what they write about when he make it they write about when you make it so guess what when you get through failing failing failing failing all you got to do is make one all you got to do is make one why did you let me race with your car you knew I was going to wreck it why not cuz it's a lot of money I have money it's trust and character I need around me and who you choose to be around you let you know who you are you one car

in exchange for knowing what a man made of that's a price I can live with look at all those people down there they follow the rules for what they're letting fear lead down what happens if I don't life's simple you make choices and you don't look back I always KN I only need one chance I always felt I was better than everybody all I needed was to get in there once just give me one shot and I'll take her home I'll steal it every time I felt I was ready it's not easy but through practice

and practice and practice practice makes what absolutely not dismantle that belief system practice makes Improvement you can always better your best you can always go beyond anything that you have ever done you'll never hit a state of Perfection you're always bigger than what you do and so all you're looking for new breakthroughs through practice and practice and practice you'll get better and better and better and there's still some things that will happen to you that will catch you on the Blind Side that you did not anticipate you'll get knocked down but you won't be knocked

out you'll be able to get to your feet again be on the ropes but you have a fast recovery rate when you work on yourself just remember your imagination can take you wherever you want to go from Arctic Adventures to a mission to the moon and your dreams they can also take you anywhere you want to go as well so Now's the Time to settle down snuggle up and sleep tight we're not on this stage just because of Talent OR ability we're up here because of 4:00 a.m. we're up here let's face it it's you

against you out there when you walk on that Court you have to think I am the best guy out there but here's the fact all of you have extraordinary capabilities all of you you have to decide if you are willing to do the things to put you in that category don't put on the show freaking win the game don't put on the show you win the game don't put on the show you Inn the game don't put on the show you freaking win the game you don't put on the show you win don't let him

get into your hand don't let him take this from [Music] me you go in there and you kick his ass you hear me you stop being you you let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good and when things got hard you started looking for something to blame like a big Shadow damn Run come on what's the matter with you there is no no tomorrow there is no tomorrow there is no tomorrow this ain't Blackjack Vinnie this is it this is it you see this guy here staring back at you

yeah at your toughest opponent every time you get into the ring that's who you're going against I believe that in boxing and I do believe that in life let me tell you something you already know you me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life but it ain't about how hard you hit it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward how much you can take and keep moving forward that's how win it is done anger is your biggest tool fighting angry that drains you twice as fast yeah the guy

in the ring is your enemy but make his mistakes be his destruction now go out there and show me how you do things show me how you live show me how you fight cuz I want to be great and you're not I want to be one of the greates you love this game I mean love it with your whole heart because if you don't let's not even bother let's not open that door they're just going to slam it right in our face I love this game I live this game and there's a thousand other guys

waiting in the wings who are obsessed with this game obsession is going to be Talent every time you got all the talent in the world but are you obsessed is it all you ever think about I would you understand the difference between a risk and a gamble this what we do here this is calculated okay we weigh the odds we make a choice you see that man right there do you remember him you got to block out everything and be in the moment not the pass not the future right now you have control of this

this belongs to you this is yours you're the captain you're the master you're the for Foreman you're the general you're the head don't give control of this to nobody don't let this man control you don't let him control you you got to get real doggish now like I was telling you before if you want to be ordinary you ain't even got to listen to me just go about your business
