You vs You.

this ain't you bro this ain't you you weren't born like this you won't die and if you do die you won't care because you'll be dead best case you win worst case it won't matter there's no luck in this game man it may be a little bit 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 and that's what people don't know if you believe it if you really believe that you could

be something if you have that little voice in your head saying Hey You Got Talent you could do this then follow that voice [ __ ] your motivation [ __ ] your motivation you need discipline because motivation is not there every day motiv I'm missing motivation most days some days yeah sometimes I got motivation sometimes I'm like [ __ ] yeah today I felt good I can't wait to get to the gym but a lot of days like got to get to the gym and then once I get going then I feel great and I

feel great when it's over but it's that beginning part that's hard because your body wants to stay comfortable your body will trick you like man today should take the day off Theo yeah feel good Theo what did you get like 6 hour sleep last night that's not enough it's so easy to be great nowadays my friend cuz most people are weak most people don't want to go to that extra mile most people don't want to find that extra cuz it sucks it's miserable it's lonely it's it's easy to give up you know it's easy it's

the easiest thing in the world to do I I'm done I ain't going yeah 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 to 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 a 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 how bad do you want this if it's as bad as you want to live or breathe or sleep whatever the hell it may be I can work with you but a lot of people 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 like I want to see I want to see what you do when you're tired let me see how you push yourself come on man get up get up again tomorrow get up again tomorrow get up again tomorrow the next day get up get up get up get up keep going how long can you maintain a positive attitude there's no hacks bro it's you against you you against you and if you misunderstand that you have a real problem you wake up right to work immediate your mind is in action no one wants to do that

no one and I don't blame them but don't be mad when you're laying there in your [ __ ] bed and you're in the [ __ ] hospital and you're 70 80 90 years old you're thinking I feel like I didn't [ __ ] do something cuz you did you didn't do it you didn't do [ __ ] you may live the great life man but you're always going to feel empty inside I don't feel empty the life you want is on the other side of a few hard conversations and you're living a life you

hate because you're too afraid to have them I think about that a lot Hard Times create Hard Men Hard Men create soft times soft times create soft men soft men create hard times we are now around soft men and hard times 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 you should be a monster he said you should be a monster you should be ruthlessly ambitious and then learn how to control it and it's that

old expression it's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war don't care how good you are and anything you don't have discipline you ain't nobody right nothing without discipline cuz you give up under the slightest struggle without discipline 100% told me discipline is doing what you hate to do but do it like you love it ah doing what you hate to do but do do it like you love it that's that is a great quote 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 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 the [ __ ] noise get back to the [ __ ] mental I'd say one of the strongest mental frames that has got me through my hardest times is thinking this will be the story that I will one day tell and that means the harder it

is the bigger the dragon the more epic the story and by Consequence the more epic the hero the fear is never Reaching Your Potential that's it that always falling 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 it's time to stay focused it's time to decide [ __ ] clubs [ __ ] partying [ __ ] trying to fit in and socialize rub elbows with

everybody so people can stop calling you weird why are you so antisocial because I'm trying to get it why are you staying on the basketball court so much because I'm trying to get it why are you out there there practicing in the hot sun when ain't nobody else out there because I'm trying to get it why are you not clubbing like every time I text you and invite you to go do something fun and cool you always studying because I'm trying to get it let me tell you something homie these women ain't going nowhere these

clubs these parties all this [ __ ] ain't going nowhere the more weird you are is a reflection of how committed you are to focusing on your [ __ ] molding and shaping and developing your ideas and your crab so that when it's time for you to make your rounds you going to fly people only root for people who don't need it like the amount of times when I was on my lonely path where I was too different from the friends that I had but not successful enough to be friends with the people that I

wanted to be friends with that's when that's when you want want people to root for you that's when you want people to support you once you've already won people are like he's amazing he's so good but like that's the time when you need it the least and so 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 um and that visual I think is one

that you can kind of take because it is people struggle to do things alone and 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 life isn't fair at all at all so what are you going

to do about it I knew that no one was coming back to help me no one was going Miracle me to be somebody special so mentality is the only thing that gets us through life I was an underdog we are all underdogs in life even the baddest person in the world should think that way so she should always have I've never arrived mentality and can't hurt me mentality itn't matter where you come from the sewer or wherever you think you're from when I got out of the sewer I got to the road and looked around

and said can't hurt me nothing should be able to hurt you if you believe that it starts to become true be the guy who Embraces the ugly the miserable um be the guy who Embraces hard work the grind don't be afraid of being hurt don't be afraid Crea of sacrificing some blood you know there comes a day man everyone's going to have this day there comes a day where being average being mediocre is just sickening to you it's just sickening it makes you want to throw up because you've seen people with far less Talent than

you as you're growing up with them their childhood buddies whatever else they didn't have what you had yet now they're [ __ ] to become something that you haven't there comes that day it's either when you're young you know and and it strikes you on the baseball field cuz you're sick of striking out or it's it's when you get fired from your fifth job you know and your wife and kids are on your ass cuz they don't know how to support them anymore there comes a [ __ ] day where push comes to shove where

being mediocre being like average and [ __ ] just [ __ ] Burns it sucks so much you can't deal with it one more day and you get off your [ __ ] ass and you create something it's always been there it's always been inside of you trying to come out but you've never wanted to unwrap it because it's too much [ __ ] pain and commitment I'm a big fan of uh Power follows the blame finger so like wherever you point the blame fingers where the power follows so it's like if you point if

you point it to the government government has the power if you point it at your your spouse and say like it's their fault that I'm I'm not in shape it's their fault they never let me do anything it's like well you're giving them all the power and so it's like until you're like it's my fault it's also becom responsibility what is what if it's not your fault it doesn't matter and [Music] H like I can't run marathons because I lost my leg at Birth and either you can just never try or you put the metal

thing on and you do it anyways knew it was there but you never wanted to embark on it until something [ __ ] hits you get fired or somebody else gets success remind you what you could have been and then the [ __ ] spark is born and no matter what happen I'm never going to be in this boat again and you get up and you go even it gets knocked down you keep going keep going you're a wild man and life has never been so sweet that can happen at an early age it can

happen at a later age it's going to happen to somebody every you know no matter what it's going to happen to you and when it does happen to you thank your lucky stars that finally you're alive it's time to unwrap the potential you can be superior man it's within you it's within every single one of us and the people that have that have have risen to that level were no different than any one of us it's just they believ it and they're willing to work their [ __ ] ass off to get it uh you

know greatness is not meant for a few chosen people it's it's meant for those who persistently pursue their dreams every day and make that choice when they wake up so um just a mentality really 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 it sucks to do it because no matter how much you improve no matter how much you change who you are it's not permanent you'll just wake up and

say oh my God man you're you're David gogins you break records you do this you do that people want to know how are you how are you able to just be so hard cuz I never turn the [ __ ] thing off cuz once it turns off I go right back to the David goggin that is and that's the guy that I'm constantly fighting every day and it's a choice and that choice makes you misunderstood it makes you crazy 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 of 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 the year doing what or 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 I'm a life goes on type of guy it those I can't catch a break guys get them the [ __ ] away from me I can't I can't be around those guys I don't want to hear that [ __ ] I don't want to hear that [ __ ] I don't buy it cuz everybody has bad brakes I've had a [ __ ] ton of bad brakes but you know what I did I I stayed up and I thought through it and I and I figured

out what the [ __ ] I did wrong and then I went back it's like I [ __ ] up everything I've ever done a hundred times there's no way to other there's no other way to do it and I've had a bunch of shitty breaks everybody has but you got to realize when you have those shitty breaks what that is it's an opportunity for you to reassess reboot get better figure out another way find another way through it's just just little challenges and the people that look at those challenges go why do I always

have these challenges they're cancer those people are dangerous to be around they will rob you of your enthusiasm they don't give you any fuel they're the opposite of fuel yeah do you actually want to do this or not cuz if you actually want to do it what's going to stop you nothing and if you don't really want to do it what's going to stop you just about anything that comes up just about any obstacle that gets in your way becomes an excuse it becomes a reason it becomes a rationale for not proceeding down that path

what are you going to do how bad do you want it there's two options to continue forward pushing upward and if you do that dream is given birth and forever you will live in the reality of it if you stop quit throw in the tow 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 right now it's your choice
