𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍.

your family is looking for that one guy right now they're looking for that one guy who's strong who's that pillar for the family in hard times make sure when they look around they look around and find you these are the times right now for you to step up be that guy that can take anything one of my friends Alex has got this quote which I love and he says 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 how I'm able to just extract dopamine the good dopamine whenever I want man I've trained 99% of my life alone no one packed me on the back I did all of the work alone and while I'm still hard on myself I know what I did so whenever times get bad for people all this who's going to carry the boats and that's real I hate that people know me for that guy cuz that guy is not every day like when they see me they want that energy that's not me every day I can extract it

immediately when I need to because when you train alone and I lived alone for so many years and this misery and you're able to get out of it by yourself I can take myself to such a level of real real passion and purpose and like the feeling I get is something I can't even explain by I don't need any anyone that's why that's why people come to me to motivate them no one can motivate me 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 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 bemoaning 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 you want to be damn man what the hell are you doing this guy will knock you on your ass come on Rock it's not a game you want to L up in the hospital for 5 weeks this time you thought I was tough this jump will kill you he's trying to hurt you rock he's trying to hurt you okay here he comes jab he's jabing he's jaing he's hooking he's hooking damn Run come on what's the matter with you tomorrow let's do it tomorrow there is no tomorrow there

is no tomorrow there is no tomorrow look in the mirror and look at themselves the problems in your life for your own dang fault and so the answer into fixing the problems in your life are in your own dang hands the responsibility for the well-being of your family your wife your husband your children are yours you know some of y'all are motivated by broke I'm broke I'm stuck I'm up I can't do nothing some of y'all are motivated by just wanting to accomplish the things that you want to accomplish other folks are motivated by materialistic

things it's a very simple concept if you want it you you got to go get it you think when you're young that you have all this time you have no time there's there there's no time I mean one of the one of the quotes on the wall in the gym in there is there is no tomorrow from Rocky 3 you know there is no tomorrow that let's let's let's get all this done today so whenever gets nasty David goas Goes you had nobody anyway mother so see I'm talking myself right now that's me that fires

me the up that makes me nuts you had nobody anyway mother look around you 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 it's easy to give up you know it's easy it's the easiest thing in the world to do I I'm I'm done I ain't gone 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 today 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 the bottom line is no one's coming 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 tell you to apply for that job that you've always dreamt about nobody's coming to write the business plan for you it's up to you and because you're only ever going to do the things that you feel like doing right now or that feel good right now unless you understand that you've got to parot yourself you got to push yourself you're not going to make your dreams come true you're just not

we're not wired that way you weren't born that way you weren't that way when you were growing up and you're certainly not that way as an adult 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 be the hero of your own movie if your life was a 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 you cannot live in that normal mindset you must be your best on your worst day and how you do that is you cannot think of a normal mindset you cannot I have a normal mindset and I promise you every single person who wants to do something with their life and has done something with their life has gone through the exact chapter that you're going through and it's the lonely chapter it's the chapter where you you're you don't fit in with your own friends but you don't have

the outcomes yet to fit into a new group of friends and you're doing this thing you're consuming content on the internet you're you're doing these free tutorials online to try and figure out how to set up a podcast and where do I host this thing and then there and and and you're going through this and you're like am I is this even worth it because you have no signs of success right but if there's anything that you can take away from what we're saying right now is that the sign of success is the hate that

you get along the way and what you can't do is bend the knee to their hate and fit back into the Conformity because it's comfortable and it's warm because like in The Matrix when Trinity opens the door when when Neo's about to go take the red pill and he wants to get out of the car she says Neo you've been down that road and you know exactly where it leads and I know that's not where you want to be and then he closes the door like right now this moment that you're going through is Trinity

opening the door and being like you could go back but then you'd have to remember exactly what the reason was that you decided not to go out to begin with just because you listen to this podcast and you consume this content you're like I can do more than this like because you are starting to live in some of that hell where you look in the mirror and you're like I can do more and you start to see the person that you could be and you're like this does start to feel like hell it's all in

your mind whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life if you continue to believe as you have always believed you will continue to act as you have always acted you will continue to get what you have always gotten if you want different results in your life or your work all you have to do is change your mind 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 so many people use these words now cuz it's watered it's where's passion when you're 300 lb where's the motivation when you can't read and write where is it so how did this happen I just did there's a great Chinese a great old proverb the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago the second best time is now it was life and death either you live or you die which one do you want 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 bull let me show you I I would have arguments with myself I could do it we Define ourselves far too off 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 learn 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 if you think the price of winning is too high wait till you get the bill from regret 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 to do and then you have control 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 I don't care how good you are and anything you don't have discipline you ain't nobody right nothing about discipline cuz you give up under the slightest struggle without discipline mean discipline is doing what you hate to do but do it like you love it is that when it feels scary to jump Ian that is exactly when you jump otherwise you end up staying in the in the same place your whole life and that I can't do 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 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 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 of sacrificing some blood is that 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 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 a 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 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 you 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 youring ass and you create something that'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 muching pain

and commitment you were scared you're going to fail you're scared if you started you never finish it you didn't want to tell anyone about it you knew it was there but you never wanted to embark on it until something hits you get fired or somebody else gets successed remind you what you could have been and then the spark is born and no matter what happens I'm never going to be in this boat again and you get up and you go even gets knocked down you just 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 until you think 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 believe this and they're

willing to work their ass off to get it the easiest thing in the world to do is to complain blame and quit and settle that's that's the easiest thing in the world to do but it takes real work to deconstruct and to reconstruct the thought process in the mindset of an individual when they're trying to change something that's why I always say to people what's more important what we acquire or who we become everybody has a turn back moment you have a moment where you could go forward or you can give up but the thing

you have to keep in mind before you give up is that if you give up the guarantee is it will never happen wait when things go completely to Pieces when things are the worst when your very best deal falls apart and your rent is late and you're tired and you're sick and everybody is mad at you and your car doesn't work then it's the person that picks them up and says nothing is going to stop me you know you know the best quality in the world that you can develop and I give it to you

because I made it my life's Habit to develop this quality I hope I've got it but I don't know for sure but theity quity is to develop the quality of being Unstoppable 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 so to do that you have to come into work and work is whatever your work may be ready to go and what that means is you may have failed miserably yesterday but you come

to work like people like man you just lost everything how the hell are you just damn moated cuz this is what it takes this is what the it takes and you got to get it from wherever you can whether you make up this illusion of your life or this false reality that gets you motivated Whatever Gets You motivated it's got to be here at the tip of your brain at all times cuz in those dark moments you got to you got to pull it out so that's the big thing for me man I was always

fired up at all times and no matter how rough it gets I will never quit and nothing will ever stop me make the decision that you can be tired you can be worn out but nothing is ever going to stop you don't settle make sure that whatever life that you want you strive for that you make sure you go for that don't let anyone tell you it's not possible don't let anyone tell you that's it's not practical you make sure that you go for it you hungry you want it then get it get that I

went to a homeless shelter to get what I have now I went through a homeless shelter I sto I went hungry three nights in a row every week to get what I have you don't let no one stop you no one tell you what the do you make sure you get it don't let no one stop you all right you're driven the energy that you need the drive you need to get it you pull that from yourself cuz when you pull it from yourself no one can influence it just you what would have had to

have happened in a week for you to look back on that week with pride okay 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 bemoaning 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 the thing is with me is I don't give a I don't give a don't give a [ __ ] what anybody says or what anybody thinks I have this mindset I know exactly who the I am I have my circle of people that I hang around with who know me and know what I'm about and whatever and uh anybody else who doesn't like it or doesn't want

it looking bad and you know you learn from those mistakes those those failures that you have are so consequential and then you don't want that to happen again so you got to be either quit or get way better and then the next day comes and you're back playing again you understand that life has this cyclical nature where it's you know what you do on Monday is fantastic but then Tuesday is a bad day but guess what there's Wednesday so are we just supposed to live our lives like this the whole time you know versus just

staying like this and understanding that it's really just a journey of evolution every day it's just constant Improvement constant curiosity constantly getting better the results don't really matter uh it's the figuring out that matters yeah and we all get obsessed about the results like we get obsessed about like the output not the input of not figuring it out and not like changing things what you said trial and error like the experiment and 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 insecurities and your pitfalls and all the things that went wrong with you and you realize well God 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 right and I I'll tell you this I started really realizing that when I started overcoming myself I started getting around these real alpha males and I always put people way above me when I was growing up like my God they had to have a lot more than me to get to where they're at

and a lot of them did but once you get around the the best of the best of the best people you can kind of start breaking them down and realizing man you you're just ased up as me there's a great feeling in these overcoming these difficult things cuz life is never this just constant state of I'm at a nine all day and when I'm with my wife I hit 10 yay and I stay like that that's not real when it when it comes down to how long can you stay in that pool when it comes

down to how far can you run when it comes down to how much can you push yourself past the part where you want to quit how far can you keep going there's a purity in that that it dissolves social order all that all the what people think about you goes out the window it's what who who are you right now that's right who are you right now that's a true statement man and I look at as Psy as psychological warfare and that's where I started learning that that life is one big psychological warfare that you

play on yourself you play on yourself man the most important conversation I ever had my with is is with myself and the I was telling myself was so tough it was so wrong it was so misguided and other people start to write that dialog for you also and it starts to be what you say to yourself every single day and I started creating a whole another Warfare a whole another battle started coming I was like oh hang on a second ckins you have these tools the human organism the animal that we are needs constant stimulation

because it evolved trying to find food and Escape enemies you have these tools your life was basically the perfect the perfect grounds for training for where you need to go in your life and find shelter Escape nature escape the elements try to survive and this is the great joy that you have in taking care of your children that you can protect your children from the elements and the enemies and feed them and and it's also the great sadness that you see in losers all the beatings all the all the bullying all the you know you

going through uh learn disabilities the struggles it was the absolute perfect training ground for you to go to where you need to go when I see a loser I see some guy who's 43 years old lives in his parents' basement hates the world I'm like that was a baby man this is a baby that somebody just gave nutrients to whether it's nutrients in the forms of food or in the form of thoughts and ideas and examples and this kid developed these horrible self-defeating patterns of behavior that that have led them to this point where there

this this middle-aged person with no future and no idea of how to get out of this rut and probably never will escape it and might just wind up sucking on a gun you know I mean this is this is the world that we live in today and I think part of that world is because we have been fed this line of hor that you're supposed to seek comfort and I don't think you are and that's how I start looking at my life versus whato was me Poopy Pants kick a rock down the street mentality it

was no God just hooked you right the up he hooked you right up man with the perfect place you were training for the first 18 19 20s you were training for this stuff man you have the advantage of everybody else versus my God they're so above me they came from a great family Mom and Dad love them they didn't have a learn they didn't stter they didn't Struggle No Man your struggle is what made you who you are now through that struggle I will now have a better day and I better do it again tomorrow

tomorrow or do something else because if I just think well tomorrow I'm just going to coast and eat Twinkies and watch TV oh hello sadness my old friend hello depression because when you're not doing anything you feel like so I started flipping this into a whole different I started being a master of what I was scared of I was scared of my mind and I became a literally a master of that mind and that's what now from now on it sets me apart from most people I start diving into that and that's just a part

of being a human being and we can pretend that we're something other than what we really are and we could pretend n me man I'm just cool just chilling doing nothing [ __ ] you're a human you're a human being you you evolved from the hundreds of thousands of years of hunters and gatherers and people that were struggling those were human reward systems are carved deeply into your DNA and if you don't respect that if you don't respect the mechanism of happiness and fulfillment and what you really need to do in order to feel satisfied

in life camaraderie love family friendship struggle testing yourself learning all those things are imperative they're all a giant part of being a person I watched these movies I you know I talked about Rocky last time I was on here I always equated training to mental toughening like it always look brutal people waking up early and doing all these things it look it looks horrible I was like wow I got to start doing that not to get better bigger and stronger but that is what's going to build that looks uncomfortable that looks brutal and getting up

early I don't want to do that so I made this long list of things I don't want to do and through that I found myself I started like I'm like you guys aren't doing this [ __ ] in high school you guys aren't getting up at 5:00 in the morning running over here in this golf course so I started seeing myself very differently than the average human being I was like hang on a second I have something they don't have and that's when I started to develop these things through working out it was this great

never ending work ethic and through work ethic I develop self-esteem emotions come and go the important thing is to accept them all to embrace them all and then you can choose to do with them what you want versus being controlled by emotion you know a lot of times I've seen players even myself you know when I was younger being consumed by a particular fear um and to the point where you're saying okay no it's it's not good to feel fear I shouldn't be nervous in the situation right now and it does nothing but grow versus

stepping back and saying yeah I I am nervous about the situation yeah I am fearful about the situation what am I afraid of and then you kind of unpack it and then it gives you ability to look at it for really what it is which is nothing more than your imagination running its course yeah absolutely yeah I love that cuz what you're saying is that when you're dealing with something it's almost like how can I get to the root of it yeah because sometimes what we're dealing with like you're saying it's an imagination and illusion

it's not really it's not it's really a thing next time you're facing a fear next time you're going against something do that like literally unpack it don't just settle for your first answer because the first answer is really the right one don't hide from it you know you got to be able to look at it and you know and and and deal with it head on yeah I love that man you're the best so whenever sick get nasty David goas Goes we had nobody anyway [ __ ] so see I'm talking myself right now that's

me that [ __ ] me to [ __ ] up that [ __ ] makes me [ __ ] nuts you had nobody anyway [ __ ] look around you 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 you did that so as times get hard for me the truth comes out and my truth is powerful as [ __ ] it's

real it's tangible feel it it comes out of my brain as I speak about it I'm reliving every single dark moment of my life to be here so that is what people don't get that is what motivates David Goggins is the Unseen work everybody needs that P on the back they need that training partner they they need that accountability coach I need that [ __ ] and neither do they but it's what we've trained ourselves to believe that we need if they can do it I can do it and that's the mentality if somebody else

can do it you can do it and I said to myself I will do it and I will do it better when I do something want to be the best I will not be happy being the second third or the fourth my inspiration is that above everybody else what everybody else says is not important so if they tell you your best is not important the import is that you say you're the best 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 if you don't have the mindset that you are the best reporter ever then you already failed My Philosophy is why be normal when you can be the best I no want to be normal I want to make the difference so everything I do I want to make the difference because when I make the difference I'm the best and that is not arrogance that is confidence for me I truly believe we are all equal as human beings if we are obsessed with something and we truly

pursue our passion with everything we have regardless of any anything else if you are obsessed uh work hard put in the time you will succeed and and that is a philosophy that I carry my coaches carry and I'm able to just extract dopamine the good dopamine whenever I want man I've trained 99% of my life alone no one had me on the back I did all of the work alone and while I'm still hard on myself I know what I did so whenever times get bad for me people all this who's going to carry the

bats and that's real I hate that people know me for that guy cuz that guy is not every [ __ ] day like when they see me they want that energy that's not me every day I can extract it immediately when I need to because when you train alone and I lived alone for so many years in this misery and you're able to get out by yourself I can take myself to such a level of real real passion and purpose and like the feeling I get is something I can't even exp by I don't need

anyone that's why that's why people come to me to motivate them no one can motivate me 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 the year doing what or do you just pick it up all right well 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 he 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 closed 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 it was an everyday process and trying to figure out strengths and weaknesses for example jumping ability man my vertical was a 40 wasn't a 46 or 40 4 five 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 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 given birth and forever you will live in the reality of it if you stop quit throwing it h 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 it's 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

zero 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 no 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 we'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 buto not 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 M 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 sixth 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 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 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 with 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 standing right there to kick you in the F face man life is going to throw all kinds of crazy sh you and you have to be ready for it

and you got toing deal with it you 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 your shoes back on and get out there and go toing War again is 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 iconic 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 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 it's not I go to such places in my mind and I study the darkness there is no team it was you there was no weight loss programmer 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 I 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 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 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 what their world ends and yours begins your ability to suffer endure out work my crater 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 largely everyone needs 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 that wall what I've learned is to to to always keep going always I've come to find out is that you know no matter what happens the storm eventually ends and when the storm does and 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 bad or 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 I are they you got to be relentless I got to thank the man up

top G 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 Sno 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 there 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 in 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'm 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 this Vision turn into reality every single set that I do every repetition every weight

that I lift will get me a step closer to turn this goal into real it 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 cartilage 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 gained 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 oh poor 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 sacrificing some blood

there was probably a 100 days where I didn't want to do anything I wanted to stay in the pool or 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 one game if you think ordinary is 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 done 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 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 game 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 test 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 one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail if you knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that you could not fail what one thing would you set as a goal for yourself what if you only had 6 months to live what would you stop doing what would you do more of who would you spend time with what is really important to you 75 years that's how much time you get if you're lucky 75 years 75 Winters 75 spring times 75 Summers and

75 autums when you look at it like that it's not a lot of time is don't waste them get your head out of the Rat Race and forget about the superficial things that preoccupy Your Existence and get back to what's important now right now this very second you know if every time someone ask you a question you try to say the right answer your entire life is a test and when did you have the most anxiety in grammar school and high school no question on test day so your entire life become this test I ain't

trying to say the right answer I am just doing what I feel my mama said trying is faing there is no ifs woulds coulds shoulds it just is and we just are I would say ask her out no matter who she is whether she's a job or a new city an opportunity or a fear or a actual person whatever she is man ask her out go out there and make something of yourself for God's sake be an honest person and work and get to the top of whatever it is that you want to get to

the top of stand stand up for yourself like a respectable human being and be a bit of a light on the world instead of a blight that might make life worth living it's like yeah it might so why don't you go do it the time is now the time is now to express and for people to believe in themselves the time is now for it to be okay to be great people in this world shun people for being great for being a bright color for standing out but the time is now to be okay to

be the greatest you you and I are capable of doing whatever we can see we can hold it in our head we can hold it in her hand don't waste your life set your goals high quit thinking about what's wrong start thinking what's right love a little more hate a little less you have no idea what you're capable of doing make up your mind today you're going to figure it out when you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your your life is just to live your

life inside the world try not to bash into the walls too much uh uh try to have a nice family life have fun save a little money but life that's a very limited life life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact and that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you is to shake off this uh this uh erroneous notion that life is is there and you're just going to live in it versus embrace it change it improve it make your mark

upon it what do you really really want from your life if you had no limitations if you had all the money and all the time and all the talents and all the abilities if you could do or be or have anything what would you really want in your life 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 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 whever 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 onun your ass cuz they don't know how to support you anymore there comes a [ __ ] day where push comes a shove we 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 that's always been there it's always been inside of you trying to come out but you've never wanted to unwrap it cuz it's too much [ __ ] pain and commitment you were scared you're going to fail you were scared if you started you never finish it you didn't want to tell anyone about it you knew it was there but you never wanted to

embark on it gu the success remind you what you could have been and then the [ __ ] spark is born gu success remind you what you could have been and then the [ __ ] spark is born and no matter what happens 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 you're alive don't give up if times are hard good things nor bad things last forever but most generally we are in control of Our Own Destiny is that you're all in no matter what you do you're all in this is going to kill you so I think you might as well play the most magnificent game you can while you're waiting because do you have anything better to do really why not

pick the best thing possible that you could do why not do that maybe you could justify your wretched existence to yourself that way I think you could because you're more powerful than you think way more powerful than you think I mean God only knows what you are in the final analysis you're blind to your own weaknesses but you're also blind to your own strengths it's like how far could you take that if you stopped wasting time and if you stopped lying and if you oriented yourself to to the highest possible good that you could conceive

of and you committed to that how much good could you do well I would say why don't you find out it's time the 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 they believe it and they willing to work their [ __ ] ass off to get it it wasn't about the potential it wasn't about the genetics it was about the perseverance and it wasn't about being

the hardest [ __ ] worker in the room that's what got them there and it didn't happen overnight they got knocked down more than they ever stood up but they kept going and kept going and kept going and kept going cuz what else is the alternative to be average again that sucks man had a difficult childhood but there's no excuse for people not being able to do what they want to do you can do anything that you want to do what do you really really want from your life if you had no limitations if you

had all the money and all the time and all the talents and all the abilities if you could do or be or have anything what would you really want in your life I'm going to have setbacks I know but 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 you're the backbone of this country you're the backbone of the world I don't care if you're in Asia Africa Korea Japan I don't

care where you are the United States you are the leaders the Future Leaders of this world happen 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 the the unfulfilled potential is the story of most people's lives it is it is and it could have been the story of mine and I tell a lot of people people go what's 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 lb 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 [ __ ] and 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 pullup 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 I'm always waiting for everything to be

perfect before I live my [Music] life I'm always waiting for everything to be perfect before I live my life as soon as these things line up I'm going to live my life man I'm so guilty of that it's not all going to I'm never going to get to that where everything's okay where everything looks a certain way and in the meantime I'm burning the best time I do have available I'm burning that candle up I'm burning this candle down and I'm saying as soon as it gets bright enough I'mma show up but the candle's getting

smaller [Music] and my personal question to you is why not you we all ask why we should work this hard why take that many classes why go to school that many years you know why take the notes why read the books why work that hard why put yourself through the push shs and the disciplines why good question why best answer to why I think is the second question why not why not see how many books you can read how many classes you can take how many skills you can develop why not see how valuable you

can become to the marketplace and to your friends and to your family why not see what you can make of yourself why not see how far you can go how much you can see how much you can earn how much you can share why not not that's the Heritage all of us have to see what we can make out of our Lives now that we've been given this extraordinary opportunity I failed why do we [Music] force so that we can learn to pick ourselves up yeah we all are great we all should think that we're

great there's no reason for you to not think that you're great if you don't think you're great ask yourself why why don't you think the highest of yourself when you do people have no have no choice but to follow suit because delusion is only delusional when you don't accomplish the goals of making your delusions a reality L and um impossible is nothing to somebody that tries everything that someone said was impossible is happen you got a choice You Got Talent you got a chance and I want to hear about your environment what your mama didn't

give you and the white man won't give you no shot you got a chance use it while you're still alive you don't know what death is make a decision how yo Mr mcco why me why not you but but why me let's find out together when you're suffering you give up on the very things that you wanted to most when I was going through pair rescue I wanted to be a pair rescue man so bad but that water haunted me so when the suffering got too much my dream died no one can save you but

you you have to put the Mind into what you want to put the Mind into if you believe in something you can achieve it if everybody who's like at the bottom and feels like they 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

they say that true hell is when the person that you are meets the person you could have been everything you do you may have some support you may not but it's on you you have to make the decision whether you want be a badass or whether you want just want to be mediocre and everything's okay but being a badass hurts it is not our abilities that show what we truly are it is our choices a lot of people sit back and they dream about being or dream about being a seal or dream about being an

astronaut and all it is is a [ __ ] dream they don't put the work behind the dream that dream has become their master when you become the master of your dream is when you say I want to go be a Navy SEAL and you say okay I'm going to lose 106 lbs in less than three months the dream was the one thing I thought about and the dream was now gone now with comes in the dream goes away and the laundry list of details and tasks come up got to do this got to do

this got to do this got to do this that's when you become the master of your dream you walk out of this room you owe yourself I I didn't get here making excuses so what my father was in my life the truth of the matter is he ain't never come into my life so what I'm going to wait for the rest of my life for my man to come he ain't coming I live in America I'm an African-American male they don't treat us the same it's something called racism I ain't going to cry about it

but I'm not going to cry about it I'm still going to be a millionaire I'm still going to be one of the top motivational speakers in the world but I'm still going to be successful I'm still going to get to where they are why cuz I owe it to myself and can't nobody stop me but me and you need to get rid of them excuses and you need to start pointing fingers at people and you need to start pointing fingers at yourself what did you not do what about talent talent I don't believe in Talent

well some people they have talent that's it's good it helps when you have talent as long as you have a lot of determination and willpower that's all you need and you you have to have the will to win if you want to be great you have to be willing to prepare prepare and prepare and when a cat had Talent they think they can just walk out there and do what they do with they Talent until they meet a cat that's prepared you be that warrior in that garden and you stand strong you be a strong

man you be a good man and you just let the world rage around you five or six years I went every single day without missing a single day um I never got sick I was in the water on Christmas birthday holidays everything it didn't matter the sky is a limit I believe that whatever I put my mind to and if I was willing to make sacrifices and I was dedicated that I could achieve absolutely anything there was probably a 100 days where I didn't want to do anything I wanted to stay in the pool or

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 in any Walk of Life the greats do things when they don't always want to that's what separates good from great I need to say something listen to me I hope every one of you behind your screens or on this Arena can feel this level of Happiness just one time in your life I hope all of you can

feel how happy I am just one time in your life but guess what you never feel this level of Happiness if you don't go for something in your own life when they knock you down where they try and they try to put their foot on your neck if you stay down you will never ever and feel this level of Happiness as you rise once you change one thing your mindset you can attack everything a lot of people say they want to be great but they're not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve greatness they

have other concerns whether important or not they spread themselves out and that's totally fine after all greatness is not for everybody what I'm saying is greatness isn't easy to achieve it requires a lot of time and a lot of sacrifices it requires a lot of tough choices it requires your loved ones to sacrifice so you have to have an understanding circle of family and friends people don't always understand just how much effort from how many people goes into one person chasing a dream to be great it's an obsession respect to those who do achieve greatness

and respect to those who are chasing that elusive feeling I've learned over time is that almost all like truly exceptional and mentally strong people have been through hell it's it's very few that put themselves through hell when life is great it's just not usually the case I don't believe in Talent I'm here because I worked hard my whole life without that work no one in this room would know who I am except my family so to all the kids around the world watching paying attention and aspiring to be like one of us or even on

the stage someday put the work in and watch the magical a ride you go on why do you do it why why get up why keep fighting you must be able to see it Mr Anderson you must know it by now you can't win it's pointless to keep [Music] fighting why Mr Anderson why why do you CL [Music] assist cuz I choose to I got a life too don't you think I had dreams and hopes what about my life what about me I was hoping that circumstances outside would change then here's what I found out

it isn't going to change so then my question was if it isn't going to change how will my life ever change when you change everything will change for you when you get better everything will get better for you and that's where I picked up that phrase for things to change you've got to change you don't have to change circumstances out there all you've got to do is look within and see if you can change yourself for the better and as you change things will start to change for you is I know that there's really no

one out there grinding like me if I know about you I'll make sure that up my game that's what the mentality is all about my whole thing is a mentality thing like I told you in the last time I was on the show I you view myself as the weakest person on the planet Earth my goal in life was to in my mind believe I'm the hardest man alive and that's why the whole thing is can't hurt me that's what it's about is about whatever you think you are you have to make that dream a

reality but that's where the hard part is someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality and he taught me three things he said if you want to become successful in life young man he said number one you got to change your mindset he said you don't get in life what you want you get in life what you are this is when I realized that the human mind once everything gets connected Once the mind knows you're not going to quit something it's going to try to find more it's going to try to give

you more once it realizes you're not going to take the path of least resistance you're going to stay here until it's done my mind and my body and my spirit became one for the first time ever for the first time ever it became one and I went to a level that I never thought was humanly possible for myself or anybody else well if regrets are inevitable if they're going to happen no matter what an easy way to look at the decision is rather than which do I want to do which regret could I live with

my name is Kobe Bryant I'm 17 years old I wasn't invited to to parties or you know friendly friendly Gatherings on the weekend so on Fridays and Saturdays I would go to my recck room with my basketball and basically dribble myself to sleep and I think that that was the best thing that could have ever happened to me cuz during those lonely hours in the recck room I discovered the hunger the motivation and the desire to be the best possible basketball player that I could be when your mind knows it's not going to quit your

body will adapt to whatever is in front of it I end up running 20 more miles I did 101 miles in 19 hours and 6 minutes and that one day change that one 19 hours it wasn't SE train it wasn't rang of school wasn't Delta Force it was any that crap I went through it was this 19 hours and 6 minutes that forever changed my life to know that we as human beings are capable of anything and we don't need any special kind of parents or tools to get there so I end you with this

don't stop when you're tired stop when you're done thank you very much never ever give up don't give up don't allow it to happen if there's a concrete wall in front of you go through it go over it go around it but get to the other side of that wall and how you get to that point in life what I figured out it's so noisy right now this world is so noisy we we all walk around these phones computers the world is so fast we're not able to think the the most powerful weapon in the

world we walk around with it it's our mind it's our brain you have to be able to go into a very dark place in your mind and figure who you are go back to what you want to do what's your purpose we can't figure our purpose out or why we're here or why we even born or whatever cuz our it's so loud in our mind we don't have any quiet time with ourselves to sit back and say what do I really want there's so many different dialogues in our head that we can't think so my

biggest thing is you have to be alone in a very dark place in your mind to think about what is important to you right now the biggest advice that anybody could give you 85 to 90% of life is just showing up show up if you show up there's a chance something could happen if you can teach people to stand up in the face of the things they're afraid of they get stronger and you don't know what the upper limits to that are because you might ask yourself like if for 10 years if you didn't avoid

doing what you knew you needed to do by the def by your own definitions right within the value structure that you've created to the degree that you've done that what would you be like well you know there are remarkable people who come into the world from time to time and there are people who do find out over decades long periods what they could be like if they were who they were if they said if they spoke their being forward and they get stronger and stronger and stronger and we don't know the limits to that we

do not know the limits to that and so you could say well in part perhaps the reason that you're suffering unbearably can be left at your feet because you're not everything you could be and you know it if you can be in a bad mood for no reason you might as well be in a good mood for no reason if it's not going to change your life it shouldn't change your mood if the cost is peace of mind don't buy it yeah if you can be in a bad mood for no reason then you can

be in a good mood for no reason which means that if you can do something that's amazing and still have a [ __ ] day it means you can do something that sucks and have a good day which means the entire excuse around I don't want to do all these hard things because as a proxy it makes my mood sad is ridiculous us because it means that we are ultimately in control of how we want to perceive the work that we do and so I think that is ultimately the most Fring thing that you can

do in terms of how you can equip yourself to get through those harder periods we will not Bend we will not break we will not yield we will never give in we will never give up and we will never back down we will never ever surrender you know if you want to do something and you want it that bad you'll make sacrifices and you know growing up for me as a kid I made a lot of sacrifices that I didn't seem that they were a big deal and I don't seem they like I I don't

think of them as being a big deal right now you know there were Saturdays or Fridays where you know I'd give up going to a dance or hanging out with my friends cuz I had workout the next day but those things that I gave up you know were things that I wanted to to help me get to my goal and and they were times where I've put you know I've been put in uncomfortable situations but I've used my mental power my mental strength to push through it some of the best athlet or the greatest athletes

in the world do things when they're uncomfortable you know everybody can compete when they're feeling good happy excited rested but it's the best people who can overcome when they're tired sore not in the great mind you know not in the best mindset and I think mental power that the greatest athletes have can push all the pain aside but you know I I said to myself I'm going to do this and no one's going to stop me I think that's the biggest thing is how strong you can be mentally I think that really shows who the

person is so I think that's one thing that separates the good from the greatest you were born to do something great with your life in big ways and small ways just like that person who helped my dad they thought that was a small thing it may not be on Instagram it may not get 20 million likes or views but you were born to do something great I'm going to say that to you again you you were born to do something great with your life you are not average and ordinary and the third thing is this

there's a power to doing one more and if you'll do one more you're one Decision One relationship one meeting one encounter one thought one podcast interview one book away from a completely different life you don't lack Vision you lack depth perception you think you're further than you are you keep keeping it in that distance because you think it's so far away did you read this quote I have not yet this is the quote that I have lived my whole life out because you might as well be dead seriously if you always put limits on what

you can do physical or anything else it'll spread over into the rest of your life there are no limits there are only plateaus a man must constantly exceed his level you want to get up every day and try to be better than you were yesterday in business and life and everything often times if it doesn't go our way we don't see it as a blessing right if something happens an experience if it doesn't go the way we want it to go often times we don't consider that to be a blessing but some of the greatest

blessings in our lives are things that didn't turn out or work out the way that we wanted it to and so if we can put our perspective and our perception in such a place that when it doesn't go our way because we know what to do when it goes our way but when it doesn't go our way not only what is the lesson in it like what's the blessing in it the way I look at it within myself why not why can't I be the MVP of the league why can't I be the best player

in the league I don't see why why why can't I do that but the game is to be better how do I be better than what I was because if I do that o Fu for me I just beat me yeah this ain't about nobody else I don't give a [ __ ] about nobody else I just beat me if I can keep beating myself if I can keep doing that then that means that I'm in a battle with the only person that [ __ ] makes sense I'm in a battle with the only person

that I really want to F be and that's me you visualize where you want to be um and what you want to accomplish and you kind of get lost in the process of daytoday you know grinding it out and working pulling all ours if you have to um you know that this it's just about not losing vision and not losing sight of what you're what you're trying to accomplish matter what hurdles you have to go through so um I think that kind of relates to whatever you're doing uh whatever um you know major you've chosen

or uh what you're interested in so for me in basketball and and it's about you know visualizing whether you write it down put it on the wall do something what what what your goals are um and get lost in the process of daytoday grind daytoday getting better every single day um asking questions aligning yourself with people that have been through it before that are um that are experienced and and leaning on that advice and uh just trying to outwork the next person and that's the biggest thing great and that's that's one of the principles that

don't complain don't murmur don't talk negative that's a average people talk normal average people talk problems the greats talk Solutions average people use their time to whine and complain average people say it's their boss fault it's their mother's fault is there average people I used to be average I used to say when is my daddy coming to get me when is my biological father going to come in my life and while I would talk like that I end up getting kicked out of school and while I talk like that I end up being homeless and

while I talk like that I was broke and then one day I woke up and said Eric nobody's coming to save you the truth is whatever game you play in life sometimes you're going to lose a point a match a season a job it's a roller coaster with many ups and downs and it's natural when you're down to doubt yourself and to feel sorry for yourself you want to become a master at overcoming hard moments that is to me the sign of a champion the best in the world are not the best because they win

every point it's because they know they lose again and again and have learned how to deal with it you accept it cry it out if you need to and then force a smile taking much to First that it's blessed in this environment right here to figure out who you are some Elevate some Plateau some don't get better find your Niche but believe in what you got push yourself and challenge yourself what are you going to give up what are you going to sacrifice what are you willing to forgo because a lot of people like this

guy came one time I was a trainer and he go man I can stop doing anything but my Frappuccinos I go [ __ ] leave because I'm looking for that person like me people people it's hard for people to understand how I lost 106 lbs in less than three months I sat down at the table and I said to myself what are you willing to give up everything and when people come to me with that kind of mindset I can work with you when you are willing to strip yourself down to nothing and give everything

that's who I want to work with because now I can mold you into exactly who you want to be you think you got so much time man like you think you got so much time you know what I'm saying just in life I woke up knowing that man can change pretty quick like you could wake up on top of the world you can go to sleep and wake up the world could be on top of your ass you can have no control over it right like that's just how life works and so we think as

if we have time like the will to not lose is more important than the will to win yes right y you know the cold thing about life F and I tell I tell teams this all the time I tell my children this when a winner and a loser first show up they both got the exact same goal like when a winner and a loser show up both of them want the victory yep but somewhere along the process when adversity opposition change uncertainty is present somebody focuses on the outcome and somebody focuses on the systems and

the processes that drive the outcome the world is there for the taking for anyone who can learn from their mistakes do what they say they were going to do and stick with it even if it's not sexy what used to make a man acceptable now makes you extraordinary the bar for winning has never been so low but somebody looks at hey man this is going to drive Victory let's stay true let's stay calm Let's Stay Together let's stay positive keep our perspective in order and we'll get to where we trying to go y somebody else

in the midst of the adversity opposition change challenge man is his fault man is her fault man if we would have did this we'll be here and it takes your focus off the goal out of tight it takes your focus off of what's important and what you're trying to accomplish right and so stay locked in and stay focused man yep figure out how to get around it through it above it climb over it so those limits um I'm always that's what I said I taught myself how to fail I'm always skirting on that like limit

of like okay I'm there I'm there I'm there I'm there okay I failed but I was right there what did I miss what the [ __ ] did I miss oh that's what I missed and then it happens maybe not today maybe not tomorrow and maybe not the next month better only one thing is true I will be Champion one day I promise I promise you can accept that the work that you have done has created the outcome that you've created but you do not need to accept that the outcome that you've created is the

end all be all and the last outcome that you need to need to have and so for me like the only version of acceptance that I have is that I accept that the version of myself that I want to be is is so far from who I am that I have this massive discrepancy that I have to overcome and then just breaking that down one step at a time and thinking I don't I don't deserve to be that man but I can still do the things that can create it and it also means that I

have to go through the circumstances that that would create that man which means that if I have unbelievable Big Dreams and big goals then I have to go through hard times it's like hate the hard times are a requisite for success and so if you're going through hard times right now it means that you're on the path to success and it's not that you're on the wrong path it's the feeling of being on the right path one of the most important things things never ever quit never quit I've watched some of the most incredible brilliant

students and they didn't make it like other people made it because they didn't have that drive they didn't have that uh never give up uh ability I don't know if it's an ability or if you have it just you can't quit maybe I can be that and after becoming this guy [Music] that is the biggest thing I can ever do in my life is I became that guy that I once looked at all these guys now look at myself like God who the fck can do that I can but what it takes is a a

discipline that no one can ever even they they just don't they don't understand it is that your success is like a spotlight shining down on their Miss opportunities success many will love you for it the majority will hate you because your success makes them feel insufficient in their current Endeavor reminds them of where they could have done it but they came up short and how they didn't revisit it where they went at and failed and failure is what stood they never Revisited it again after a certain point you got to prioritize accordingly when you when

you get to a certain point where the decisions that can be made are a little more controlled and you have the ability to maneuver differently because of the the success that you've obtained make those adjustments I didn't make those adjustments I was still hustle hustle hustle feelings has nothing to do with it um this is my dream this is what I'm going to do and I'm going to do the things that I don't feel like doing I'm going to do the things I don't want to do I'm going to do the things that don't come

easy to me that do not come natural to me um I'm going to get up and do it um you can't live your life on feelings you're going to have feelings okay but you cannot let your feelings dictate what you are or are not going to do the truth comes out and my truth is powerful as it's real it's tangible I feel it it comes out of my brain as I speak about it I'm reliving every single dark moment of my life to be here I think most people have the potential to be exceptional because

most people are peculiar in their own way they just stifle that because they want to be accepted by most people but in so doing never accomplish what they want to do because they conform we see you as a real confident guy you'll take every last shot you'll go out and you'll take 50 shots um what doubts do you have about yourself internally you know there'll be times where you succeed and there times that you fail so waste wasting your time doubting whether you're going to be successful or not is pointless it is you just put

one foot in front of the other you control what you can't control and then you see what the outcome is right if you win great you're going to have to wake up the next day and do the journey over again if you lose sucks but you're going to have to wake up the next day and do the journey all over again anyway right so it's really pointless to sit here and debate or have doubt or this and the other you train as hard as you can and you step out there and you let it flow

why not you with good self-esteem why not you starting to change and setting goals why not you starting to make progress toward Financial Independence uh if I can do it you can do it if we can read you can read if we can change you can change if we can figure it out you can figure it out if we can turn it around you can turn it around there isn't anything you can't accomplish that's what those testimonials would say and so I want to say it to you personally why not you you've got your life

ahead of you You' got the future you can do it if anybody can do it you can do it if one of us can do it hey we all can do it says I know this transformation is painful you're not falling apart you're falling into something different with a new capacity to be beautiful always think man in terms of capacity you could take a cat that's talented skillful gifted with the wrong perspective take an individual that's not as talented not as gifted not as skillful with the correct perspective and the cat with the correct perspective

and less Talent will annihilate the cat with the high Talent level in the wrong perspective every day of the week because they're perspective about what they're doing is different yeah that potential when you see somebody doing something and it makes you feel like oh I can do that I can be that guy uh you know greatness is not meant for a few chosen people is is meant for those who persistently pursue their dreams every day and make that choice when they wake up so um just a mentality really aspirations uh come from people that do

amazing things but they're really Ordinary People just waking up every day doing it um doing the little things that other people aren't doing so mean I could be something that wasn't blown over by the first 4ot wave you grow in proportion to the weight you take on voluntarily and it's also true that we have no idea what the upper limit to that is people can do remarkable things and there are inevitably people who take to took on remarkable burdens and because they did that their development was forced by necessity they were forced by necessity to

grow beyond what they were and who knows what the limit to that is you know the best way to predict the future is to create it this is probably one of the heaviest Hammer blows I think for today this next one you've already achieved goals you said would make you happy you've already achieved goals you said would make you happy how can you presume that your happiness sits on the next side of the next set of goals given that right now you are on the other side of your last set of goals no matter how

much emotion and feeling you may have or how much hurt you may have life has to go on life doesn't stop anybody so if you don't process that and understand that you're stuck in whatever time period you got hurt forever forever yes sir yes sir yes so grudges and anger and negativity I don't have time for it because I'm living to do so much positive things got so much positive outlook on everything else is coming in the future I can't I can't stand in the past and bathe in what was wrong you have to become

obsessed you have to become obsessed this has to become an obsession of yours you know our obsessions become our possessions and the truth of the matter is that most of you don't understand the effort the time the focus the obsessiveness that's required to do something great with your life you want to do something great you better be great at it greatness Rises but you have to get great and you have to be intentional you have to be obsessed find the things that you can enjoy be curious you don't have to have all the answers I

I'm a hardcore believer that everybody has something something that they're really really really good at that could be world class great every single human being on this planet and the hard part is just finding what that is and in in some places having resources to enable it um but be curious so you can find out what it is if you can get a mental image of the person you would most like to become begin now to act as that person would act and everything you do gradually imperceptibly you will actually become that person it goes

back to what the great German poet and philosopher Gerta once said before you can do something you must first be something before you can do what you would most like to do you must first become the person who can do it you are one decision away from changing your life and you have to accept that your one new meeting one new relationship one new contact one new action one new decision away from shifting your life from where it is right now to a totally different place so what's the decision you already no I could go

backstage now there's something you've been hesitating on there's a contact you need to make isn't there there's a job you need to quit there's a relationship you need to engage in maybe there's a relationship you need to leave I don't know what it is but I know there's a decision that you need to make to take you to the next level just like I know that's true for me because decisions shape our destiny when they're backed up by some massive ass action one of my most powerful motivational frames is thinking about the person that I

want to become as the destination and thinking like I want to be bulletproof I want to be bulletproof in these ways I want to be bulletproof in my marriage want to be bulletproof in my business Etc and I think about that man whoever I want him to be like we said hell is when you look at who you could have been and realize that you're not that person and then I think if I were to make that man what would I put that man through to make him who he is like it wouldn't be easy

times it wouldn't be quick wins it wouldn't even be easy wins it would be the the toil and the struggle of achieving and reaching for things that are right out of grasp that are right above my threshold and continuing to do that to like lift the weight to build the muscle to break it down and do it over and over again because like that's what creates the character traits that are the man that I want to be and so when I'm going through those like really harder times I like to think of like looking in

my mental mirror of like I'm making you I'm not there yet but I'm making you and say where are you going to go to college what are you going to do for the rest of your life get used to having the the need to self-govern yourself you know to be able to employ self-discipline or not or you realize oh my God I are you that type of person or are you a type of person that that wants more freedom in your life the man's greatest burden is unfulfilled potential okay uh I mean we have so

much more within us listen more get off your dead ass take you know most people are living quiet lives of desperation I hate to tell you or as the Brits say I don't like to tell you but that's the truth and if you think any different you're fooling yourself um basically you got to trust the process um trust in the process meaning you have to trust that whatever you trying to overcome or get through or I the person you're trying to become or be um you have to trust the process of you getting there trust

that you're going to get through it and you're going to become that person that you need or wanting to become he's pretty much telling me you ain't got with the text versus taking what he said all the negativity he's putting on me because he can't he can't imagine himself doing what I'm about to do so most people who can't imagine it they they reflect it's like a mirror they put that right on you if they can't see themselves doing it I can't see you doing it I take that mirror and I totally discard it I

said what if Denzel said to me a few minutes ago he said at your highest moment be careful that's when the Devil comes for you the greatest version of you is not the I can do anything version of you the greatest version of you is the disciplined version of you the greatest version of you is the version that has parameters no I don't do that I don't drink that I don't go there with these people I'm focused I have a prize that's in front of me I know what I'm supposed to do and that ain't

it I have to stay right here it's the version of you that has parameters you eventually you are going to have to jump you cannot just exist in this life you have got to try to live if you are waking up thinking that it's got to be more to your life than it is man believe that it is believe in your heart of hearts that it is but to get to that life you going to have to jump you've got the brains you can make decisions you can study the plan you can change your life

you can grow immensely in the next few years you can make your dream come true you can build a financial wall around your family nothing can get through you can become healthy you can become powerful why not you why not you be the one to make it to start that business to do that imp possible to do what people don't even think that anybody could do why can't it be you how you if you can see it here and you have the courage enough to speak it it will happen so intentionally act like the person

you want to become because when you intentionally act like the person you want to become your brain sees you taking those actions so your brain starts to change the way it relates to you when your brain sees you high-fiving yourself in the mirror it starts to go oh wait a minute Steven loves himself Steven's cheering for himself we don't beat Steven up 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 C there's no worldly possessions that should come between you and your expression human beings we a blip in existence death is Promised there's a quote that I've fallen in love with the magic you are looking for is in the work you avoiding dude the magic you are looking for is in the work you're avoiding a lot of times people believe in certain things but they keep to themself they don't put it out there if you truly believe in it if you become vocal with it you are creating

that law of attraction and it will become reality the more I listen to this the better my life gets if they don't have what you want don't listen to what they say there's no greater waste of time than justifying your actions to people who have a life you don't want it's the what if I can pull off a miracle what if I can become someone that no one thinks I can be and just that just me talking about that I have the hair gr up on my arms cuz it makes me just like what if

I can be that guy people who call and this and that and now I'm speaking at Tom Fair's event why not you why not you with good self-esteem why not you starting to change and setting goals why not you starting to make progress toward Financial Independence uh if I can do it you can do it if there is something that you feel is good something you want to do something that means something to you try to do it because I think you can only do your best work if you're doing what you want to do

and if you're doing it the way you think it should be done and if you can take pride in it after you've done it no matter what it is in life folks you cannot change your life unless you change something if you always do do what you always did you'll always get what you always got no matter what it is many times you say to yourself I got to lose weight I got to lose weight I'm too fat and then you know what during the day you eat you eat at night and the next day

you get mad at yourself well what do you want what do you want you got to change something I truly believe we are all equal as human beings if we are obsessed with something and we truly pursue our passion with everything we have regardless of any anything else if you are obsessed work hard put in the time you will succeed and don't be afraid to fail big to dream big but remember dreams without goals are just dreams the real pain in life is getting to the end of it and realizing that you left something on

the table I think that I had unfulfilled potential I could have done more and I and I didn't but if you want to be great you want to be bad ever at what you do you going be misunderstood by everybody because you're going to be so obsessed and so driven to get there that's what it takes that's the truth it takes every second of your life anybody says balance yeah balance is important for a lot of people it is but if you want to go to that edge where people do not like you don't understand

you question everything you do you you've arrived when you are misunderstood to the point where people think your psycho and your nuts and your this and that why are you in the gym at 1:00 in the morning you got through doing an OP for 13 14 hours at the Ranger school man at the gym what's wrong you will never understand what is wrong with me do you actually want to do this or not 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 anything that comes up if you have an idea that you genuinely think is good don't let some idiot talk you out of it 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 why are you staying on the basketball court so much because I'm trying to get it why are you out 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 some fun and cool you always studying because I'm trying to get it it's more socially acceptable to be our own biggest critic than it is to be our own biggest cheerleader why we all ask why we should work this hard why take that many classes why go to school that many years you know why take the notes why read the books why work

that hard why put yourself through the push-ups and the disciplines why good question why best answer to why I think is the second question why not why not see how many books you can read how many classes you can take how many skills you can develop why not see how valuable you can become to the marketplace to your friend to your family why not see what you can make of yourself why not see how far you can go how much you can see how much you can earn how much you can share why not that's

the Heritage all of us have in America especially is to see what we can make out of our Lives now that we've been given this extraordinary opportunity let me tell you something homie these women ain't going nowhere these clubs these parties all this 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 craft so that when it's time for you to make your rounds you going to fly if you want to become successful in life young man he

said number one you got to change your mindset he said you don't get in life what you want you get in life what you are you're not afraid of failing you're afraid of what other people will think of you if you fail but if you're afraid of that imagine what they think of you when you aren't even trying oh yeah they aren't the quote goes like this one day or day one greatness it's something that truly exists in all of us it's very simple this is what I believe and I'm willing to die for it

period then I'll tell you what changed my whole life when I finally discovered it's all risky the minute you were born it got risky if you think trying is risky wait till they hand you the bill for not trying if you think investing is risky wait till you get the tab for not investing see it's all risky getting married is risky having children is risky going into the business is risky investing your money is risky it's all risky I'll tell you how risky life is you're not going to get out alive the first step before

anybody else in the world believes it is you have to believe it there's no reason to have a plan B cuz it distracts from plan a starting tomorrow what are you going to do that'll make a change in your life's Direction good question what are you going to do starting tomorrow that'll make a differ now see if you don't do something starting tomorrow that'll make a difference guess what it's going to be the same and see that way you can guess what the next 5 years are going to be like look at the last five

cuz the next five are going to be like the last five unless you major key tomorrow change it all or change a little or change something or don't change it's Choice time you can do whatever you want but it's nice to know any day you wish you can change your whole life stop complaining about the results you didn't get from the world work you didn't put in the only way to become more successful than most people is to be willing to do something most people aren't willing to do so I want to ask you a

question what are you afraid of what are you scared of because we all have fears don't we we all have something that's blocking us that's holding us back and as we begin to look at life what we realize is that the reason that most people are not living out their true potential and not doing all of the things that they would really like to do is because of fear the big question is what am I becoming here because true happiness is not contained in what you get happiness is contained in what you become here's the

big challenge of life you can have more than you've got because you can become more than you 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 I don't you ever tell me is something that you can do the heaviest things in life aren't iron and gold but unmade decisions the reason you are stress is that you have decisions to make and you're not making them I think that there's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have

you have to believe that something different can happen confucious said he who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right if you fake bravery when you're terrified that is bravery and I kind of feel like motivation is the same thing if you do the thing when you're feeling unmotivated that is motivation that's it being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity why would you be realistic 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 off guess what you f the test get over it move past it learn to not let life hijack your brain at work You' been work off for 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 do 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 face I love this game I live this game 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 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 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 you know when you're on the way up everyone roots for you because you remind them of their dreams and when you're at the top everyone tries to tear you down because you remind them of

what they gave up on the the unfulfilled potential is the story of most people's lives it is it is and it could have been the story of mine and I tell a lot of people people go what's your biggest Fe 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 the heaven 75

years old I'm 300 lb 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 I see all this God goes hey you say read this man now I'm reading

this list and I'm seeing 182 lbs Navy SE Ranger school motivational speaker changing lives okay man pullup 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 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 lines 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 you know when you're on the way up everyone roots for you because you remind them of their dreams and when you're

at the top everyone tries to tear you down because you remind them of what they gave up on so then my question was if it isn't going to change how will my life ever change when you change everything will change for you when you get better everything will get better for you CH to run 120 M week 2,000 pull-ups 4,000 push-ups and hundreds of reps at the gym you're not afraid of having po you're afraid effort when I was in the military we going these instructure Le runs most of the time we knew the start

and end point so so on the way back I start seeing people getting happy and because the end was near but there were some instructors that would hear the happiness and go right on past the end point when that happened everybody stopped talking heads will sto dropping and I start taking Souls at that time I knew what happened in their minds they were lifing off the Hope Factor they hoped the instructors would stop running they hope the water was never cold they hop the weather was good I don't live off that hope I wish the

water was cold I wish the [ __ ] instructors keep on running I wish for rain when the end is unknown and the distance is unknown that's when you know who the you are so through all these things in life man to to to be your best person you have to find your best self and and to do that you can't stay in the world like when you're running I know you hate running but you do it you do it very well is it something you tell yourself in your head and it's kind of like

a mantra that you keep telling yourself you had to keep doing it well some I tell myself daily so I make sure I do at least one thing every day that sucks it could be for an hour it could be for two hours sometimes it's for 10 hours but every day I do something to strengthen the mind we're all looking for this great mythical mental toughness mental toughness doesn't come from sitting on the couch it doesn't come from wishing they were come true it comes from putting in the work and you have to start developing

your mindset mindset is not developed by wishing mindset is developed by doing and actually putting into practice the Mind wants to have control over you you need to have control over your own mind so that's all about the mental health your mind is going to always guide you in a spot that wants to make you feel comfortable and nice and secure and it's in those spots that there's no growth without friction there's no growth judge yourself against no one but yourself there is no there you're you're racing against no one but yourself and when you

continuously think that you're when you compare yourself to other people you are losing the race and like this RAC is you against you man so don't get caught up in all this out here of the social media and this is where I'm at this is what I'm doing this is how great I am leave all that behind man worry about yourself worry about you're doing and worry about where you're going and only where you're going to be your best s David Goggins you're a rookie here first timer congratulations that was the heat for you I

didn't even notice it in this lifetime you don't have to prove nothing to nobody except yourself and after what you've gone through if you haven't done that by now it ain't going to never happen two forms of pain pain that breaks you and the pain that changes you that's the pain of never change right there that's a pain of progress the pain that destroys you isn't this it's later in life knowing you could have been more and all it's left is you and the near and tears of a possibility left that you allow to die

own your life guys you have every opportunity there's no excuse not to be the hardest mother worker in the room this quote hit me in my chest Usain Bolt said I trained 4 years to run 9 seconds the world records come and people give up when they don't see results in 2 months you talk about talent and hardw working yeah no most of the talent people they lazy most of them I met a lot of talent people but they all like I don't want to say 100 but 99% they lazy when you don't have talent

you have to work so hard when you work so hard and sacrifice your time dedicate like sacrifice you become more discipl you read the quote once more we don't rise to the standards we have when others are watching we fall to the standards we have when no one is watching the only work that really matters is the work that no one sees it shows you who you really are rather than who you say you are the hardest choices require the strongest Wills i f home tomorrow is that what you want to do you come all

this way have one bad day and you're ready to back down so everything that you do is habit forming and that includes hitting the snooze button that includes sitting on the couch that includes eating Donuts it's all habit forming you know what else is habit forming discipline setting the alarm and getting up going and working out eating steak that stuff is all habit forming too I recommend you form some discipline habits there's always someone out there's working harder than you I'm haunted by that [ __ ] KN that that's someone out there is willing to

forgo personal desires and Comforts for go sleep for go whatever it takes to be better to be the best in life a lot of times a lot of us have that person out there there may not be a name or a face to him but he exists you make sure in life when they think about that person you make sure they put a name in the face to it you make sure the name of face is yours then there's the athletes who train to win they train every day every session so they win on Match

night and then there are just those very few players who train to dominate they train so hard that winning is inevitable on Race night at the end of the day you've got to feel some way so why not feel unbeatable why not feel Untouchable why not feel like the best to ever do it it's like I love the um I love thinking about the quote every guy essentially has two lives right and the second one starts once you realize you only have one that's uh I like that a lot because I it's so F true

man you know you've only got one shot of this so you may as well at least make it kind of cool success is this and training and struggling and suffer and sacrifice and then success is this but this taste so much more than than this but I'm not sure that people today are 100% aware what it is there's some internal drive that you either have or you don't have and if you have have it you won't quit and if you don't have it you're going to quit you got to fight shit's hard you're going to

have days where you don't want to do anything you're going to have days where getting out of bed is the hardest mother thing you ever did in your life you got to get the up and you got to get in the fight that's reality the minute you lay down is the minute that all those demons and all that anxiety and all that stress and all that fear Fu get you you have to keep fighting you have to wake up and do your job if even if you have to crawl through it you've got to get

up and do it because the minute you lay down that [ __ ] got you forever bro and you can't get out of it you have to want to be better and it starts off with you have to have pride in yourself you no way you can do better than can't hurt me Roger that we'll [ __ ] see find the Gap don't complain don't murmur don't talk negative that's a average people talk normal average people talk problems the great talk Solutions average people use their time to whine and complain average people say it's their

boss fault it's their mother's fault it's their C average people I used to be average I used to say when is my daddy coming to get me me I focus on me I became bulletproof I became Invincible here in my body nothing can stop me you can throw anything at me there's nothing that can break my mindset not I'm bulletproof so a strong mind is not just one that can do calculus a strong mind is not just one that can write books a strong mind is one that controls the body and all of its inherent

weaknesses and all of its urges to be lazy and sedentary and self-destructive that's a strong mind that right there is my fuel is I know that there's really no one out there grinding like me and if they are so be it if I know about you I'll make sure that up my gang where they reach Rock Bottom when the excuses all go away and people can actually confront the fact that this is all because of me it hurts but is also unbelievably empowering because if these problems are because of me then I'm capable of fixing

these problems the hardest things are usually the best if it's easy leave it to somebody else waiting to begin never got anyone anywhere so many of us come from these small places in our mind that we're not willing to think outside of only what we've seen our mind works in such a small compartment and one thing I was able to do was to dream many people but don't make dreams your f but I was able to dream outside those four walls of that small town and until you're able to really put yourself into that dream

but don't make dreams your master that's where you truly become what you're destined to become do you fear anybody no no Z if you're up willing to fight me we can fight no problem come and try me anyone you are not going to get anywhere in this world you're not going to get anywhere financially spiritually socially or otherwise until you get to that point where you don't give a damn about what other people think about you everyone does a few reps where the burn starts and they stop no one goes the extra mile and keeps

going like no one's in here right now why cuz it's Saturday evening and want to party no one's in here just me wake up to reality nothing ever goes as planned in this a cursed world the longer you live the more you will realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain suffering and futility listen everywhere you look in this world wherever there is light there will always be shadows to be found as well I don't have time to be angry you know how much time it take to hold an

attitude and a grudge that's time and energy I don't have that time the time that it takes you to go I don't like that person and keep that in you over a period of time that's a lot of time that can be devoted to something positive the easiest thing I've done was to get out from under the labels and to live the life that I live the most difficult thing I've ever done was to believe that I can do it you will find the strength to do what needs to be be done kill the boy

and let the man be born you are one decision away from changing your life and you have to accept that you're one new meeting one new relationship one new contact one new action one new decision away from shifting your life from where it is right now to a totally different place there's something you've been hesitating on there's a contact you need to make isn't there there's a job you need to quit I don't know what it is but I know there's a decision that you need to make to take you to the next level just

like I know that's true for me because decisions shape our destiny when they're backed up by some Massive Action my whole thing is a mentality thing like I told you in the last time I was on the show I view myself as the weakest person on the planet Earth my goal in life was to in my mind believe I'm the hardest man alive that's what it's about is about whatever you think you are you have to make that dream a reality but that's where the hard part is is making that dream reality that's where the

hard work comes that's where people want know how do you keep grinding every day you have to make those insecurities those fears like when I was 300 lb I didn't have any drive but people who are running toward their dreams life has a special kind of meaning and here's what I will share with you that in the process of working on your dreams you are going to incur incur a lot of disappointment a lot of failure a lot of pain a lot of setbacks a lot of defeats but in the process of doing that you

will discover some things about yourself that you don't know right now what you will realize is that you have greatness within you what you'll realize is that you're more powerful than you can ever begin to imagine what you will realize is that you are greater than your circumstances that you don't have to go through life being a victim battle not with monsters lest you become a monster and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes also into you but I would say bring it on if you gaze into the abyss long enough you see

the light not the darkness are you sure about that I'm betting my life on it life is a a crazy roller coaster especially this life you know so we've UPS we've downs but um I find I'm at my best when when I must do something and I know I must do it and I do it I execute it and that's what I'm doing right now that's what I have done unchosen suffering is going to happen in life mhm your parents are going to pass away loved ones are going to die your relationships are going to

break down your body is going to fail you you're going to become ill or sick or destitute things are going to happen that you have no control over mhm M and the only way that you can prepare yourself for unchosen suffering is with chosen suffering you can elect to put yourself into a position to become a stronger alloy of whatever the metal is that you're made of and by purposefully choosing difficult things you will armor yourself against that situation it's still going to suck MH but think about how much more fragile you would be if

you hadn't overcome all of this stuff this conversation with this guy the other day and he was he was making a lot of good points it seemed he was saying that you don't need to get up early in the morning and that working out early in the morning isn't that big of a deal and it's better to do it later in the day and you know I said well what if what if I something comes up and I miss the workout that day and he's like told me that it's not that it's it's nothing major

you don't need to worry about it and he cited some scientific sources and whatnot the guy was making a lot of good points and I was almost going to listen to him but then I realized the guy that I was talking with was myself and he was a liar don't let your weak voice run things Step Up do what you got to do being attacked is a sign that you are important enough to be a Target you should relish the attention and the chance to prove yourself with it day to train it's 40° raining windy

nasty you can't let conditions dictate your outcome the party I might smile at tonight the laughter I might might be had tonight is a huge distant second to the pride one feels of accomplishing their goals and here even though it's painful it's joyful because I can taste it I see it clear I'm closer to it a year will come with great honor not great regret you're out running on a track working out and you start talking to yourself saying man my my knee is really sore right now maybe I'm maybe I'm doing too much maybe

I need to back off you know man my lungs are burning am I maybe I can just slow down here I'll do like an extra two sets tomorrow you know it'll be okay yeah right that sort of stuff yes like that stuff's dangerous and as you just got to say you know what I'm not negotiating with myself yeah the deal was already made deal was made when I set out at the beginning of the summer and said this is the training plan I'm doing I sign that contract with myself I'm doing it you know throughout

the that process you'll start talking to yourself like man I got to I think I need to maybe if we nope no this is nonnegotiable I have never understood why some people are lucky enough to be born with the chance that I had to have this path in life and why across the world there's a woman just like me with the same abilities and the same desires same work ethic and love for her family who would most likely make better films and better speeches only she sits in a refugee camp and she has no voice

she worries about what her children will eat how to keep them safe and if they'll ever be allowed to return home I don't know why this is my life and that's hers I I don't understand that but I will do as my mother asked and I will do the best I can with this life to be of use stop analyzing stop criticizing both yourself and others and Go fail at some sh go give someone a good job for sucking at something because at least they're trying maybe it will even give yourself permission to do the

same we find meaning in trying difficult things not just in succeeding at them our biggest fear never happened m whatever we're afraid of in life our biggest fear never happens we go to our grade think what this [ __ ] never happened I was waiting for this never came you know it's just um it motivates us our problems are a feature of life not a bug there will never come a time when you have no problems what did you think that you would just wake up one day and you're going to cease having problems like

completing a video game and leveling up to a map where there's nothing there that is never going to happen I had to look at my insecurities and in my fear and find drive in that we all looking for passion passion is all around you you have a whole a whole stack of it all around you it's your insecurities all that all the energy and fuel You Need Is Right In Yourself it's all there you got a lot of stuff to do to overcome and you know that's where I found it I found it right there

in my own insecurities I found Drive in my own insecurities and that's that's the most powerful thing in the world when you can find Drive in your own doubt fear insecurities you become very Unstoppable okay I want to talk about this thing called Improvement right I came across a quote it says if you think you have room to grow you do and you will if you think you're as good as you can be you're right you won't get any better everybody has room to improve so I want to say this if I could put a

term on it the term will be humility because when you humble you always feel as if you can become better at whatever it is that you're doing right no matter how great you are no matter how good things have went when you're humble you always feel as if I can do this a little bit better or you show up with the mentality that you're open to doing things in a better way you don't never show up and speak in terms of oh we did that already right already accomplished that right day one mentality and energy

when I show up I'm trying to improve every single day that doesn't mean errors that doesn't mean opposition advert that doesn't mean Perfection right that means every single day I'm showing up and I'm trying to pursue the quest of becoming better if you want to attract what you actually want you've got to see yourself now already with it and no it's only a peri of time until you moving toward it and it moving toward you and you become one with it but in in the final analysis it's all also an additive issue if I'm smart

and hardworking and I can crank out for 70 hours a week and you do it for 30 it's like in 2 years I'm so far ahead of you you will never ever catch up don't listen to anyone everybody's full of [ __ ] nobody knows uh uh you or what you're capable of doing and here's the reality when you the hardest thing in life is figuring out who you are and what you want to do for the rest of your life it's a big decision I I'm very blessed and lucky I always knew who I

was and exactly what I wanted to do and once you figure that out you wake up every day and you work toward it that's what you do it's impossible for you to fail if you know who you are what you want to do and you wake up every day and work toward it don't be scared to bet on yourself um you're going to be scared anyway cuz it is scary but at the same time betting on yourself isn't always leaving betting on yourself is believing in you knowing who you are what you're worth having an

idea about it anyway and willing to work towards that to validate that reality that's betting on yourself right whatever decision emanates from that is based off of you looking at you and saying I'm going for it yeah this guy stopped me at a stoplight he was like hey goggin why am I not getting better I'm a big time goal Setter I run half Iron Man I run half marathons I go for that new promotion at work why am I not getting better I asked him a question do you have fear of not reaching those goals

he said no that's your problem you're setting goals you know you can reach and when you do that that fear that insecurity that doubt that's where you grow he's not getting that you must always set goals that you think you cannot achieve and in there you get better if you know that there is something that you're meant to do if you you know that there's something that you're meant to change you will have to let certain groups friends routines places activities Recreations that you do you're going to have to let those go and there is

this you know the rocky cut scene lasts for 90 seconds in the movie but it can last for 5 years in your life and you have no idea whether or not it's even going to work and that's the bit that always got to me the bit that always got to me was I didn't even know if it was there was going to be any glory on the other side it's like ordering an Uber and never knowing if it's going to arrive or not you think I'm just stood here doing the thing but I don't know

if it's going to come out on the other side and I can promise you anybody that has done anything moved from any place they were to any place that they want to be has gone through this lonely chapter and a year from now it's going to happen like that and who is your future self one year from now who is it just like everyone's ated here go party Saturday night they're not want to sacrifice you I'm like the Lone Survivor in here you know tonight will'll be over with two tomorrow I'll be stronger for it

another day will go by 365 of then happen so fast who are you going to be in a year from now and in a year from now does that future person hold regrets or Pride we know that day is coming we can't go backwards we know go forward we know that day is coming what we do right now we want to sure it goes our way want to sure there is no regret that's something you can't ever Fu fix it's a debate inside your head that never stops we going to learn from past regrets sure

we don't re- regret them sure we may maybe we don't go out tonight and we stay in here even else no one else is here and it'll push you a little bit further there's still work to be done I got something to tell you you can compete with the top Minds in the world if you're willing to armor and callous your [ __ ] mind and I worked in mother and dig deep when most people see four walls I see a massive empty space that deserves all kind of creativity to make it look beautiful you

don't get what you want you get what you are you've got to become what you want you've got to realize that the minute you hold your mind in harmony with the good you want then you've already got it it's only a period of time till it manifests in physical form never let success get to your head and never let your failures get to your heart it's all about keeping a balance and moving forward and that's the mindset that I have to keep it's tough you know when you lose sometimes you know it feels like it

rips away a part of you but for me as I said I'm never going to switch up and change on anyone I'm still the same me and ambitious and I'm still going to walk my head held high like a champion because I'm a champion at heart never ever take yourself out of something because you feel insecure or that you're doubting yourself never do that bro if something isn't going to work out if it's not going to go your way then allow it to be because something else it cannot be because you didn't want to try

or you started doubting yourself or you didn't do the things that you were supposed to and if you're not doing that that's why when you fail that you go into this little thing of like oh I'm so upset I'm depressed yeah because you know you could have did more but you didn't I think it's how you handle your sufferings you know when you're when you're going through something really challenging how do you show up within it do you choose to become a victim of complaining and misery and shitty or do you find meaning in how

you show up in the suffering the structure that you use to orient yourself in your life is dependent on your values and you might say well if you don't value human life let's say above all well then you don't value yourself Above All You value something else above that you're going to pay for that in one way or another now you might say well that's a price that I think is worth paying or I don't think that human beings should be put on the top you know that's your prerogative but you pay for you will

absolutely 100% pay in full for everything that you've done and for everything that you haven't done I mean how could it be otherwise yeah you know it's like what are you going to do you're going to Real it isn't going to make itself manifest because of your whim that's not going to happen and you know you can think about that religiously or not it's there's no escaping from what is to get anything of value you have to sacrifice do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the

same thing nothing that has meaning is easy easy doesn't enter into grownup life and I think about uh personal growth like the velocity of a rocket that's taking off so you you've got people moving and as you start to take off you can begin to move a little bit more quickly and as you start to pull away from people there's a tension between the two of you because sometimes your behavior especially if it's positive and you're moving yourself in a more developed Direction can throw into harsh contrast the behavior of the people who maybe aren't

doing that and then you start to sort of become friends with someone that's above you and then the worst or one of the really difficult Sensations is if you then do that and you got past somebody who previously you were with in this this sort of sense well I'm on the journey too but maybe I'm not moving in the same kind of way that you are uh and I came up with this idea of personal growth guilt like Survivor guilt uh you know somebody comes back from war and they were s in the back of

the Humvee and the piece of shrapnel That was supposed to kill them and killed all of their buddies hit the engine block and they come back and they feel like they should still be back there so the big thing is know that if you have big goals and Big Dreams along the way failure is going to happen so how fast do you get up from that and you got to teach yourself that but the biggest key to success in anything you do is you got to have an unlimited supply of drive and passion and it

and it may come from nothing destruction comes from within that means that you are the person that can stop the destruction a reminder that the life that I'm living today is a result of the work that I did 6 and 12 months ago and so if you to look at my calendar 6 and 12 months ago then you might extrapolate out to what I'm doing today but just like people want the immediate reward they also see their current condition as a result of the behavior they're doing today it's not at all and so that's why

I think having in some ways a very vivid imagination of like this is where I think the the benefit of quote visualization comes into play I don't see it as much as a benefit for like oh I have to imagine this thing to happen but I think it's more powerful to think I'm doing this thing today and I'm imagining it happening so it's an approximation of the feedback loop that you want to have and so it helps you substitute and get through the period where nothing's actually happening this is look at your circle right and

in your circle if the conversation is all about what we hate I can't stand that song you see that new car came out I can't his ass I can't stand that car yo man I can't stand this city why we even in this city what we eating I hate that place it's so easy if you people don't even listen to it it's so easy it could be the smallest sh in the world the smallest [ __ ] but if it's always hate you ping pong hate off of one another so there's a lot of pockets

of weakness nowadays and we trying to F those pockets with lies I did it for many years so I go to the gym and this trainer calls me over to talk to this group of people he's training he says hey man what are you doing out here so I tell him he says what kind of workouts are you doing I said one workout I'm doing I'm climbing up this mountain 3,000 ft 3 miles cuz I do that every day so the next day I'm out looking for him then see him couple days later looking for

him didn't see him so hear him on the mountain again climbing it and there's a Gonda takes you up takes you down I'm going up it I see a Gonda I'm about 5 minutes from the top I look up at the Gonda I see him face pressed up against the the window looking at me or eyes meet it's called the look when you take a mother soul don't talk about it be about it Practice What You Preach you know the person who the person who loves walking walks further than the person who loves the destination

so many people want to project their idea of of what they think your life should be like onto you and a lot of times someone would go through traumatic experience and they have bad feelings about her they they'd have regrets about it they'd have things that they wish they would have done differently and one of the main themes I was telling people during this tour was that's totally normal and it's okay it's okay to think oh I I lost some friends and sometimes I feel sad about it well yeah of course MH like that's that's

that's normal that's fine in fact if you weren't sad about it there may be something wrong because I think that people have been told for a while that oh if you're feeling sad there's something wrong with you when I actually don't think there's anything wrong with when you feel sad you feel sad yeah you lost friends you're going to feel sad oh you were in combat you had to do some horrible things you did some things that you regret there's nothing wrong with that people make mistakes people things don't turn out the way that they

wanted them to we made decisions and there was a bad result at the end of that decision and instead of thinking oh I'm a terrible person no it's like you made a mistake and that's okay and you got to move on be a dangerous man now being dangerous is not being a threat they're two different things all right and it's not about going out and lifting weights and getting a bunch of tattoos and wearing leather jackets and walking around with your chest and shoulders up hulking around saying I'm Danger dangerous that's very rarely is that

a dangerous man often the most dangerous man in the room is the quietest man in the room I have to think what things are they deprived of because they have a much stronger predictive power than trying to say how do I motivate this person look at what they lack body free your mind get up early and go get after it and you'll become the person you want to be and you become that person person through one small decision at a time as a man think so is he yeah if you think it that's the reality

of your life so if you think you're a failure if you think you're a loser if you think you designed to live in a cubicle then that will be the reality of your life but if you realize that you can be whatever you want to be and nothing's holding you back and nothing's stopping you except you then once you get out of your own way the game begins in order to achieve strong character you have to go through hard things and so it's kind of interesting that like we want to have all of us want

to have a really good character except none of us want to go through hard things and so it's like you can't have one without the other and so if I had to pick I'd rather have the character and the scars to show it rather than none of the character um and had a soft life what are you waiting for in all honesty what are you freaking waiting for you know there's not not just going to be a day where for no reason you're going to just wake up and say I'm going to go to the

gym every day in perpetuity I'm just going to pick up my routine do my cardio start tracking my macros boom I'm going to do it you know it's that doesn't really happen whatever negativity is consuming your thoughts probably won't matter in 3 months time but all of that time that you spent with in will have still passed so you are sacrificing your joy and presence in the moment for a problem which you won't even be able to recall in the future there's times where you're going to have to do it alone there's not going to

be any team support there's not going to be any family support there's not going to be any friend support there's going to be times where You' got to go and do it yourself and you got to do it alone and those are the times that make a difference those are the times that count those are the times where you have to dig deep yourself to get the job done and if you can make that happen you will win will to use what's given to you and we are unfortunately given way more negative than we are

positive so how are you going to use it are you going to use it by letting it you know getting shy and sitting in the basement and you know say man I'm not really I'm not ready to play this game or you going to use it like hey you I deserve this I'm going to show you I'm going to prove you wrong and that's the most powerful thing that you can have your own belief in yourself proving yourself right proving that you do have what it takes and nobody can take that from you once you've

built that Manny Pacquiao you're not on my level Manny Pacquiao you would never be on my level period simple and plain so you didn't feel like getting up and getting after it this morning neither did I why but I'm here where you at life isn't fair at all at all so what are you going to do about it I knew that no one was com back to help me no one was going to Miracle me to be somebody special everybody that called me my dad my mom all my situations were on me now and solely

on me 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 be in better shape 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 it will wake you up in the morning 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 it was never about running why do you think I run it's the worst thing I I hate doing it more than anything hence the willpower think about it every day I wake up I'll just run a mile 2 miles it's the one thing I hate the most to do and I do it like

I love it you know when you're kind of addicted to it uh you can you can play at any time right it doesn't really matter if you're hungry or you're somewhere else away from home um when you're hooked on a video game you can play it anytime any place um and again so I was just like imagine if I could feel like that but in real life turn life into a video game you once wanted the life you have and if you don't like the life you have you probably won't like the one you want

but don't have either you know what you need to do you know what you need to do it's in your mind right now but you don't feel like doing it you don't feel like getting up you don't feel like doing the work you don't feel like working hard and if you don't feel like working hard if you don't feel like getting up then you better feel like losing you better feel like getting weaker cuz that's what's going to happen happen if you don't do what you're supposed to do so get up and go get it

done the pathway success is through the door of your fear you find your fear you you beat it down otherwise it'll beat you down life should all always be about you know hunting your fears man that's the path success it doesn't mean that's the path you're going to go on for success by facing your fears the transfer of energy comes back into higher levels of confidence of who you are 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 tests and if you have a dream and you commit to it it will come to pass you know what's one of the most mosted up things that I've learned over time is that almost all like truly exceptional and mentally strong people have been through hell it's it's very few that put themselves through hell when life is great there's a thing that happened and it happened out of hell and I don't think it ever happens without that it's like you had to go through that in order to empower all

these other people you have to condition yourself to take action you have to program yourself to take action there's a moment where you can either take action or you can let it pass and if you don't take action that moment grows and it grows and it fills itself with all kinds of instability and concern and wandering and more hesitation and it doesn't work you fall apart if your default mode is to pause is to hesitate is to wait you're going to miss out and you're going to miss out a lot and in the end if

you hesitate you're going to lose When We Were Young we we're told we can be anything then we realize it's a lie and then we realize we're telling ourselves it's a lie because we actually just realize how much work it's going to take and we'd rather believe it's a lie than we're not willing to work hard enough to achieve these things and then it's kind of like this back and forth of like can I or is it just too hard or am I just too weak I'm just going to drop out of school and I'm

going to travel and I'm going to try and get sponsors I'm going to try to win shows I'm going to do all this and I'm going to take every risk I can and I didn't even think about it you know when you're young luckily you're you're at the greatest opportunity in your life to take risk into fail I think people focus too much on the past and focus too much on regret we get too caught up in the past and what everyone's saying and what everyone's tweeting and sometimes you just have to be Fearless enough

to break the simulation but one of the main reasons that people don't get what they want is because they don't actually figure out what it is and the probability that you're going to get what would be good for you let's say which would even be better than what you want right because you know you might be wrong about what you want easily but maybe you could get what would really be good for you well why don't you well cuz you don't try you don't think okay here's what I would like if I could have it

and and I don't mean I don't mean in a way that you manipulate the world to force it to deliver you goods for status or something like that that isn't what I mean I mean something like imagine that you are taking care of yourself like you were someone you actually cared for and then you thought okay I I'm caring for this person I would like things to go as well for them as possible what would their life have to be like in order for that to be the case well people don't do that they don't

sit down and think all right you know let's let's figure it out you you've got a life it's hard obviously it's like 3 years from now you can have what you need in the short term your success depends on your intensity in the long term your success depends on your consistency do not sacrifice the latter for the former procrastination is a killer it's a killer it kills plans it kills goals it kills ideas it kills dreams procrastination is a killer and what you have to do is fight against procrastination you have to do that with

violence of action and yes that's a military term violence of action go on the attack you start feeling that procrastination set in attack it with violence of action and start doing what you're supposed to do no hesitation go the little details in life add have to be the moments the inches the seconds we need to be successful when you give it your all and you're willing to give up that put all your will all your effort and look past the temporary pain of it to what that pain will dry and sidify into later as this

being the down payment for the future investment to come we want to sacrifice this now for the belief of what tomorrow can be you know you must hope and believe in yourself if you ever want to see what that hope can turn into that that belief can turn into by doing this every day repetitively those are the measures that lead to the big moments of success that everyone sees in life no one sees a struggle in here no one sees a hardship the early mornings you get up no one sees any of that they see

if your hands raised or not and if it is oh what a great guy I wish I could be that guy wish I could be that guy well they're not capping wishing they could be you at 5: in the morning when you get out of bed when it's pissing rain outside to come and train for that hand to be raised they don't want to be that guy they just want the glory and that's differential of a champion you know in adversity guys is where you find character it's not about the opportunities given to you it's

about the opportunities you create you have that potential just you're not putting the effort into you were lazy you want to fit into the group you want to conform because it's easy but your oddness what makes you weird What Makes You Different that little strange quirk in how you want to dress yourself that little strange quirk in your musical tastes that little quirk in the food that you like to eat that is who you are those are signs from deep within from your C from your soul there that this is who you are and if

you lose that not only are you not going to be successful in life you will also Lose Yourself and you will be Mis you'll be unhappy you'll be UNF you'll be alienated from who you are and you can get away with that when you're young because you're happy you look good you've got energy things are going right you get into your 30s and you're like everybody else you don't know who you are and you don't know what you like anymore you're just following the trends you start to get depressed get the last rep you will

get tougher every time you push through you build strength not just physical strength mental strength tenacity will not just born with will you create it you develop it through effort and every time you put forth effort your will your discipline becomes stronger and every time you quit your will and your discipline gets weaker do not allow that you cannot allow that every rep counts not just in the weit room but in life every rep counts the idea that many people want to be exceptional but they're afraid of being an exception I think is such a

it's it's wanting it's wanting an outcome without the requirement that the outcome has that most people the reason that they lack success in their life especially from a financial aspect is is that they lack the courage to make the decisions that need to be made to put them in the position that they want to be in and I never really thought about it until I watched everybody DM me and email me and text me and say I'm so proud of you for speaking up and then watch them not do [ __ ] and then when

I took inventory of who those people are all of them are struggling so I started correlating it together whoa they don't have courage and they suffer in life and so I think the courage to make the decisions that you already know need to be made that you're your anxiety's telling you need to be made is one of the biggest things that has to happen for you to be successful and most people are just not courageous enough to make the decisions that they know they need to be made and because of that they don't get anything

they're pissed off at the world they think the world's screwing them over when in reality it's their in action their lack of Courage is screwed them over sadness is a perceived lack of options it's why it feels like hopelessness because you don't know what to do you don't know what options are available you see none which is why it feels like the there's no way out anxiety is many options but no priorities which is why you feel scattered but you can't decide they feel very different but fundamentally those are the difference in the conditions that

make people feel like they're anxious or they feel like they're sad and so when we're working through what you were just talking about with okay I want to be gym guy and I also want to be work guy we have many options but a lack of priorities and so we have anxiety over the fact that we're not making progress on any of them because we have not been able to say this comes first and so if we think about what priority means it means prior it comes before everything else and what I think a lot

of people have a hard time doing is being okay with saying no and saying okay I will allow myself to just not get fatter rather than get fitter during this period and what's interesting about most skills is that the amount of effort that it takes to maintain a skill versus the amount of effort it takes to grow a skill is like on10th the amount of effort I can tell you the recipe for failure I can tell you how it's hard to get off the couch and take that one step towards greatness I can tell you

how hard that is I can also tell you how hard it is 10 times harder looking back on your life as time expires KN you could have been great when you didn't off a couch but it's too much time you can't do anything about it I can tell you how the worst failure in life isn't the person that fell down it's a person that never got up to try there's a million examples on how failure is me success is written every single day and it starts steing the gym as small devors planning it out having

everything in line to ensure success thinking before acting right now when it's hurting do we go on or not could we give much in Game of that one when we lighten up to the pain saying IO too much we welcome it what do we run from it these little test the little tiny details of life makes that dream a possibility it's right here you're being tested every single day in the gym to weather those storms out there so when you're going through adversity at your job or in your relationship or any other Endeavor in life

that you've already seen it once You' seen what pushing through that is facing it meaning it head on that fear that pain whatever else how you can beat it back you've done it here day in day out so out there when you do when it does arise you do it again and you don't fall down if you fall down get back up you keep getting back up don't follow what most people do because you don't want the results results that most people get the average person is obese likely to be divorced and has less than

1K in the bank it feels safe to do what everyone else is doing but it's actually a terrible decision what I do right now I take one step forward I turn around in exhaustion salute my former self that was right there proud of that [ __ ] yeah I'm tired that mother gave it his all to ensure that right now I got the most out of it that [ __ ] say it's rarely the information or the intensity that makes things hard it's the sticking with it that makes it hard and so the desire that

we have to quit is simply breaking the consistency and so that's why consistency has always been the hardest thing for most people to achieve but the intensity of what you have to do to be successful is much lower than most people expect M and so often times they suffer significantly more in a short period of time than is required to be successful over a much longer period of time with a much lower intensity fear is my friend uh-huh I love fear fear fear fear allows me to reach my Highest Potential the fear failing is an

illusion yeah fear is an illusion but we have to have desire we have to have something that pushes us fear pushes us uhhuh you don't understand that living prepares us for death a life It prepares us for death uhuh you know even if we die young It prepares us just the fact that we're losing guys like Kobe lose we just moving people in our family people dying around us all every day so we prepare for it we understand that but we avoid it whatever we doing the sports life and when you don't when that when

you don't have that feeling no more it's over I'm going to run from here to the end of the block and back as fast as I can you hit the end of the block and and you commit to it once you go into it and you start feeling the pain of it watch what happens to you watch how fast whatever that goal you're going for how it loses value it banishes because the pain is too much for you cuz you're in the wrong frame of mind mentally you must be there before you physically even start

when you go there you've already finished the line you know the race of that time you're not looking you're not think in the pain you're looking at the clock feeding it it's a mindset guys before some body you know the physical body is just the messenger of the true will of what this is saying this doesn't say it this can't do it mother it's so simple and so hard which a lot of success habits are which is like if you do the same thing for a very long period of time success comes down to doing

the obvious thing for an extraordinary period of time without convincing yourself you're smarter than you are you know fortune favors the strength man favors the strong it doesn't favor the weak if you want good fortune in life it doesn't come your way man you have to to create it man you to create your opportunities in life they'll come in Disguise well if you're working hard and your pulive life is always beating that disguise is always seen those people that are feeling down and that are The Losers of society they're always looking for excuses with the

winners looking for Solutions those opportunities coming in disguises where if you have if you're in it to win it and that's your mentality you see right through that disguise and you jump at it or some people like what are you doing man it makes no sense what you're doing they don't understand it because they're not in to win it they're they're mentally [ __ ] have already lost it they've given up before they even start it cuz mentally don't they don't believe in themselves so it's again it's like when the Winds of life don't hit

your cell you grab the ores of life and you start pushing your body your boat Your Vessel into the harbor of a known point that you want to be that was going to get you there you got to get yourself there guys we have learned to just bite and know that our teeth will get stronger and we will learn how to Chomp down along the way you will get 100x a THX your returns placing your efforts to try and change those things on you as opposed to on the world like you I think basically the

best way to move through the world is to see your entire surroundings as immutable and you as mutable you're the only mutable thing in the entire world you're the only thing that can change everybody else people opinion iions places economy politicians policies all of that none of that's going to change you you can change that's it what you are doing right now impacts where you are going to be so don't wait don't put it off do it now don't stop moving when we talk about mindset and beliefs we talk about limiting beliefs as sort of

being the ceiling of your potential um you know how you think about yourself whether positively or negatively that's probably what your potential is how do you stretch your beliefs and make sure you are continually continually pushing the boundaries of your comfort zone and your capabilities I just dream I dream you have dreams and you know dreams is U they should be pure I think a lot of times you know when we're born into this world we actually wind up going backwards and it seems like the more we mature uh the more responsible our dreams come

and the more Governors we put on ourselves and our ability to dream and to reimagine and it's always a fight for as parents and you know for you guys to make sure that your dreams always stay pure and so it's not a matter of of um of pushing beyond your limitations or expectations it's really a matter of protecting your dreams protecting your imagination that's really the key and when you do that then the world just seems Limitless if you ask me if I'm stressed half the time my answer is no you feel are you stressed

no I'm fine I feel great and then if you look at me you're like do you feel calm you feel at EAS do you feel relaxed I'd be like [ __ ] no so where where where am I feeling and for some reason stress to me is like numb but it's stressed so I don't really feel it and it's typically from not allowing myself to lean into the [ __ ] time the [ __ ] thoughts the [ __ ] days and being able to sit with them and be with them accept what they are

and process them properly rather than just numbing them leaning to discomfort as if you invited it through the door it feels like you are in control of the frame I don't give a [ __ ] what people say I never did I never do I told you before I thought it was this I'm telling you right now I'm this what people say does not matter to me because whatever you do in life good or bad there's always going to be somebody there are so many people working so hard and achieving so little and that's the

lack of correlation between inputs and outcomes thoughts aren't true feelings don't require actions things aren't good or bad they just are our greatest enemy is ignorance to change your life change your surroundings our actions not our pasts Define who we are I failed I go back to scratch I use some positive motivation I have like one day where I like [ __ ] defeated but I started realizing this is part of the process this is part of the journey I had to realize this is part of my process versus just saying like I used to

I'm just not good enough if I'm not good enough we always say that [ __ ] I'm just not good enough and then we try something else I'm going to make myself good enough and that became my mentality so there's no way could get the money back and he had filed bankruptcies there's no there's no course of action for lawsuit a lot of people would probably go through that mental situation and think and i' went through this I just wasted The Last 5 Years like and so here I am and I'm like I have nothing

to show for The Last 5 Years of work but then in the next 12 months I made more money than I'd ever made in my entire life up to that point the thing that was the outcome of those 5 years was me and the skills and the experiences that I possess through going through it whatever the next Mountain that you're trying to climb is of course it's going to be higher but it's going to require you to go through the smaller mountains to get to that point because the more able you are the more able

you realize you can become and you will get way bigger outcomes from the things that you have like the path that led you here then then you then you think you can that's why since that moment where I lost everything and then I was able to make more in the next 12 months I realized that no work is wasted because I am the output of the work not the outcome and that was one of the biggest frame shifts for me in never thinking that work is wasted because the more I work the bigger my work

ethic the more my work capacity increases 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 I want to thank me for trying to do more right than wrong I want to thank me for just being me at all times Snoop Dog you a bad a lot of people in this world that they have dreams and it remains Dreams

they're always going to be fantasizing about it what if one one day I can do this I wonder if I can do this you should never have those thoughts it should never be one day or or I'm wondering or what if it should never be that it should be I can envision myself doing this let's try and set it up to make it happen be an Executor be assertive how you going to have a plan how you going to have a aspiration you're not going to be assertive towards it you're going to be passive where

you are right now is based on what you did so make sure that right now you're doing the right things
