we wake up on the morning it's cold it's wet it's dark you've got no cartilage in your knee keep talking you've got these problems right I need you to keep talking about what you were just saying that brings joy to my life right there why cuz I know there's so many people that have the ability and just refuse to get off that couch refuse to study a few more hours refuse to go deeper to go further and that's where I gain the advantage it's so easy to be great nowadays my friend because most people are
weak most people don't want to go to that extra mile most people don't want to find that extra cuz it sucks it's miserable it's lonely now I have thrive in that when you have butterflies and you're feeling anxious and and you have anxiety are nervous um that's when you're most powerful I believe um a lot of people instead of homing this power um and using it uh they allow it to just consume them you know uh there's another quote that says um a big challenge a big pressure is like a fire it's like a raging
fire either you can allow this fire to consume you and just take you over completely or you can gain control of this fire and harnessed it and you blow it right at your opponent [Music] discipline your thoughts stop thinking too much don't go into the past don't go into the future be in the present why because only then it's possible that the mind is free the capacity is free and now you can completely immerse into whatever you are doing and this means you have arrived you have arrived [Music] 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 regardless of how I feel and how depressed I am the Sun is going to shine in the morning and at night time the moon going to be there and you going to look up these days going to keep going by so do you let the days go by and look up and you done wasted the year doing what or do you just pick it up all right got to figure it out made some mistakes life
goes on let me figure out life from this [Music] point you want to become best you want to become champion and now you want to say like you tired who cares you're tired or not nobody car about you he was tired he have personal problem family nobody cares [Music] him there's a quote from one of my English teachers at La Maran named uh uh Mr Fisk he had a great quote that said rest at the end not in the middle and that's something I always live by you know I'm not going to rest I'm going
to keep on pushing now there a lot of answers that I don't have even questions that I don't have but I'm just going to keep going I'm just going to keep going and I'll figure these things out as we go right and you just continue to build that way so that I try to live by that all the time how bad do you want it there's two options to continue forward pushing upward and if you do that dream is given birth and forever you will live in the reality of it if you stop quit throw
in the tow I promise you there's no distance you can travel far enough to find that dream again for it is dead and in its death it's replaced by regret [Music] the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows it's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it you me and nobody is going to hit as hard as life but it ain't about how hard you hit it's about how hard you can get hit and keep
moving forward how much you can take and keep moving forward that's how winning is done now if you know what you're worth now go out and get what you're worth but you got to be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody cowards do that and that ain't you you're better than that if you can see it here and you have the courage enough to speak it it will happen so I see these shots I see these sequences and I
don't shy away from them a lot of times people believe in certain things but they keep to themselves they don't put it out there you truly believe in it if you become vocal with it you are creating that law of attraction and it will become [Music] reality every day when you get out of bed life standing right there to kick you in the face man life is going to throw all kinds of crazy sh at you right and you have to be ready for it and you got to 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 to [ __ ] War again 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 is is it fair no
um because I want to have emotions about things I want to think about things as a human being you know I really look at everything in my life as a learning experience could I have been better you know to help or something you know I just I just wish I I could have done something you know I look at it that way could I have done anything to help you know even when it seems impossible is there any little thing I could have done better you know and um I know it's a crazy thing to
even think or say but I'm always looking at trying to be a better person the superpower of learning to be alone and enjoying it these times where you just think about things just be alone and think about things are so rare these days and I think during those rare times is when you really get to understand what you actually believe or don't believe nothing changes if nothing changes man and I'm not preaching at you I'm just uh I just want to remind you cuz you know I've spent a lot of time in my life sitting
around wanting things to change and not being able to make them change and and not thinking I could and I wish somebody had told me that earlier sometimes that in order for something to change there needs to be [Music] change you're going to lose sleep you'll doubt whether it'll work you'll stress to make ends meet you won't finish your to-do list you'll wonder whether you made the right call and have no way to know for yours this is what hard feels like and that's okay everything worth doing is hard and the more worth doing it
is the harder it is the greater the payoff the greater the hardship if it's hard good it means no one else will do it more for you 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 encourage yourself and 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 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 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 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 we 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 [Music] be people that are hungry are willing to do the things the day others won't do in order to have to things tomorrow others won't have people that are hungry believe always strive to get on top in life because it's the bottom that's overcrowded I want you
to write this down if you do what is easy your life will be hard complain point at your circumstances give up your power blame the government blame the economy but if you do what is hard your life will be easy we all live in this bubble what you got to do to get the life that God want you to have you got to put more air in your bubble you got to blow your bubble up expand yourself take yourself out your comfort zone do not live in your bubble put some more air in your bubble
if you stay in your comfort zone that's where you will fail you will fail in your comfort zone success is not a comfortable procedure it is a very uncomfortable thing to attempt so you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable if you ever want to be [Music] successful to get something you never had you have to do something you never did imagine you're on your deathbed and standing around your deathbed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential the ghost of the ideas you never acted on the ghost of the talents you didn't use news and they're
standing around your bed angry disappointed and upset they say we we came to you because you could have brought us to life they say and now we have to go to the Grave together how many ghosts are going to be around your bed when your time comes everyone you know is going to die you know you too and there's going to be a fair bit of pain along the way and lots of it's going to be unfair what do you do about that well you accept it that's what life is like it's suffering that's what
the religious people have always said life is suffering yes well who wants to admit that well just think about it well so what do you do in the face of that suffering try to reduce it start with yourself what good are you get yourself together for Christ's sake so that when your father dies you're not whing away in a corner and you can help plan the funeral and you can stand up solidly so that people can rely on you when you were born you are a phenomenon you are unique your DNA has never occurred in
the history of the universe going back billions of years it will never occur in the future your life experien with your parents and everything that you experience in your early years going on up is unique it's yours you're are one of a kind right so that is your source of power to waste that is just the worst thing you can do in your life and what what the power is is finding that uniqueness what makes you you and how you can M that and how you can go deep into it and use that to create
a career path 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
parent yourself you got to push yourself you're not going to going to make your dreams come true you're just [Music] not you are responsible for your life and if you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you to fix you to even help you you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward what matters is now this moment moment and your willingness to see this moment for what it is accept it forgive the past take responsibility and move forward one of the biggest mistakes people generally
make and I'm guilty of it too is wishful thinking you know like you want something to be true even if it isn't true um and so you ignore the things that uh you you ignore the real truth because of what you want to be true um this is a very difficult trap to avoid um and like I said suddenly one that I find myself in having problems with but if you just take that approach of you're always to some degree wrong and your goal is to be less [Music] wrong it's hard when you're young to
wake up in the offseason at 6:00 a.m. to go train and work out out knowing that all your friends are sleeping in and eating pancakes it's hard when you're on your way to practice weigh down with all your gear and it's 90° out and all the other kids are at the pool or at the beach and your body is already completely exhausted from workouts in two a days but understand this life is hard to be successful at anything the truth is you don't have to be special you just have to be what most people aren't
consistent determined and willing to work for it no shortcuts what if I told you this was the last Monday morning of your life what if I told you you die this week would you complain about your crap job or that test you don't want to take I doubt it you would go much higher level thinking well that's really what it takes it takes understanding that if you're not pumped right now if you're judging what you're about to do if you're if you're not looking forward to it look I respect practicality you got to go through
school cuz your parents want to you got to pay your rent you got scoot in loans I get it but please recognize the world we're living in I just don't get the mentality of being head down sad on a Monday morning I'm going to make Monday morning my I'm going to make you Saturday Monday morning that's what I want to do every morning and that's what I want from you please take a step back and think about how awesome it actually is one day you might look up and see me playing the game at 50
oh don't laugh don't That Never Say Never because limits like fears are often Just an Illusion you got 24 hours in a day 8 hours you sleep right and most people work at 9 or five so 8 hours you're working 16 hours okay so we have 16 hours we got breakfast lunch and dinner so we at what we at n this 19 it take you an hour to get ready so we had 20 hours so I cannot spend you guys cannot spend 4 hours going talk about oh they lying oh I like this photo oh
they faking sending photos to other people y'all got to get focused I'm where I'm at cuz I'm focused tunnel vision I'm focused on what I got to do y'all got to have a game plan I hope every one of you behind your screens 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 trying on you when they talk about you and they trying to put their foot on your neck if you stay down you will never ever get that resolve fortify your mind and feel this level of Happiness as you rise one time in your life David gogins uh he wrote me last night and I can't repeat what he said for btim but the the the basis of his message was 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 a sacri price to some blood [Music] it's time to stay focused it's time to decide clubs partying trying to fit in and socialize rub elbows with everybody so people can stop calling you weird why are you so antisocial because I'm trying to get it why are you staying on the basketball court so much because I'm trying to get it why are you out there practicing in the hot sun when ain't nobody else out there because I'm trying to get it why are you not Club and like every time I text you
and invite you to go do something fun and cool you always studying because I'm trying to get it let me tell you something homie these women ain't going nowhere these clubs these parties all this [ __ ] ain't going nowhere the more weird you are is a reflection of how committed you are to focusing on your molding and shaping and developing your ideas and your craft so that when it's time for you to make your rounds you going to fly nobody cares about you is something that was never made clear to me and I mean
that in the most positive optimistic inspiring motivating way like I think that especially if you see yourself as a creative or you want to exist on YouTube or as a filmmaker a musician or as an artist or a painter any of those things like you think that everybody's paying attention and because of that it kind of controls how you think and even when I was young and Fe and nothing to lose I was still so cognizant of like how are people going to react to this and what's the best way to do like I was
so aware and the reality is nobody gives a [ __ ] everybody is so focused on themselves in this world nobody has time for you and the sooner you accept that as a creative person the sooner you're [Music] free my grandfather walked 10 miles to work every day my father walked five [Music] I'm driving a Cadillac my son is in the Mercedes said my grandson will be in a Ferrari but he said my great grandson will be walking again so I asked him I said well why is that and he said to me tough times
create strong men strong men create easy times easy times create weak men weak men create tough times he said to me many will not understand but you have to raise Warriors if you had to create a human what would you put them through to make them tough it probably wouldn't be a really chill life what would you put them through to make them patient we probably wouldn't give wi things immediately and so it's like we want these traits but each of the traits has a price tag attached to it it's just like do you want
to pay the price tag to get the thing and so I think if if people reframed the the period of life that they're going through as the price that they're paying out of their wallet but the wallet is their time it's the seconds of life that they're trading for it then I think more people will be willing to make the trade because at least when I look at myself like when I'm 80 something years old and I'm looking back on my life I want to have these traits but in order to have those traits I
know I have to go through these things and I think for me that's given me a lot of comfort in hard times most people don't want it that badly which why they always ask the question man how did you get to where you are you know how to do it you know exactly how to be you or how to be me you don't want to do it so I can't make you do it nor do I have the time or energy to force you into that place that I know you have to be to do
it there's no luck in this game man there 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 can happen the thing is man it's always going to be a party there's always going to be a time to celebrate and a time to join friends and or a day I mean the bars are always open always open no matter how old you are they're always open you know what's not always
open is the opportunity to to check the box in life you know to achieve your dreams that's not always open mind and it's funny like you know I'm not seeing you do it all the time and everything else cuz everyone needs release in life but it's funny when you're coming here and you're closing the gym up and uh there's no one in the parking lot except for my car I didn't have to shoot up anything I didn't have to drink anything I didn't have to to go party anything I I just all I had to
do was just go work out and now what's going to happen is a residual effect of that not only does my body grow but my belief and whatever my current Endeavors are they they they're just they seem closer they seem like you know I can reach out and grab them now 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 that and the other you train as hard as you can and you step out there and you let it [Music] flow greatness is not meant for a few chosen people it's it's meant
for those who persistently pursue their dreams every day and make that choice when they wake up 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 chop wood carry water I got to stay poised it's definitely something that I'm I'm um always living by every single day so not just in the basketball court either it's in my life 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 sub Sub Conscious mind with his automatic conditioned command do it now do it now do it now the key to overcoming procrastination is to develop a sense of urgency be the kind of person who gets things done quickly be the kind of person who launches fast on a [Music] task if you decide to be rich today who going to stop you who if you decide you want to be rich all you got
to do is start why not who go stop you unless you tell it to the wrong person mama mama listen to me I'm going to be rich anybody rich in this family go in there and sit down somewhere get yourself a good job oh mama you must be right no mama could be wrong because what you have in your imagination God didn't show it to your mama I'm sorry he showed it to you and to all of you watching here come close to the screen and listen people don't have to like you people don't have
to love you they don't even have to respect you but when you look in the mirror you better love what you [Music] see and my personal question to you is why not you 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 dreams 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 and now here's my last question why not
now there never was a better time 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 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 then next day you get mad at yourself well what do you want what do you want you got to change something so I want to ask you a question
what are your fears 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 some people call fear false evidence or expectations appearing real following your dreams is a lonely solitary scary dangerous Pursuit you can't wait for somebody
to think you can do it nobody knows what you are like even even sometimes you don't really even know what you what you are you got to take your shot and it it's like as much as you want people to agree and you want the people around you to be supporting your dreams and all it's not going to be like that all the time you got to do it alone and people will help you and once you when you get the ball rolling people will jump on but if you don't believe nobody else is going
to believe see the point is you don't know how much future you've got what's gone is gone there's absolutely nothing you can do about it some of you have had divorces some of you um have probably had bankruptcies some of you have had terrible things happen in the past but what's gone is gone it's in the past and to spend your time focusing on the past is to spend the only thing that you've got and that's what's right here right now because the sand never stops running this is all we've got and to spend your
time now thinking of what happened there is making absolute certain that the future is going to be the same as the past I became obsessed with being the baddest motherfu 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 which you do it's not about being a Navy SEAL people the
best that what you do you have to be inbalanced to find every bit of energy and strength that you have to pull it off what's your book look like what is your your book look like like your your life is a book you got a bunch of chapters in your book but when they close that book how good was the book how good was your book what was the ending to your book
