To grow you must suffer.

the only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey is you have got to suffer to grow to grow you must suffer some people will get it and some people won't that you have to do those things you have to suffer you have to live in it you have to be comfortable in it 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 [ __ ] and

that's just part of being a human being and we can pretend that we're something other than what we really are and we can pretend n me man I'm just cool just chilling doing nothing [ __ ] it takes more effort to start in the beginning and more people are right about the fact they're like hey you're not going to hit it big and guess what a month in you're not but they're only measuring on months and at 6 months you're also not going to have hit it big yet and they're going to be like I'm

still [ __ ] right and at a year you're still not going to have hit it big and they'll still be [ __ ] right and every day that you haven't hit it they're going to feel like they were right but they're wrong because they're measuring in days and you're measuring in decades you stay in your comfort zone that's where you will fail you will fail in your comfort zone success is not a comfortable procedure it is a very uncomfortable thing to attempt so you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable if you ever want to

be successful we need adversity we need difficulty we need struggle you need you need a weight to carry and if you don't have any of this you do not get your character tested you do not advance in your own perception of who you are in this world and how you how you engage with all the other people around I want to see that guy who immersed himself in [ __ ] hell and he thought about quitting and leaving and and his wife and his kids and why am I he is is is it worth it

all this crazy [ __ ] is still said and found out a way to get through it so basically that's that's the bottom line of it all we all want to read about how we can quickly get somewhere that's why there six- minute abs and all sort of [ __ ] so powerful did you may get some results from it but they're not permanent your life was basically the perfect the perfect grounds for training for where you need to go in your life all the beatings all the all the bullying all the you know you

going through uh learn disabilities all the struggles it was the absolute perfect training ground for you to go to where you need to go and that's how I start looking at my life versus wo as me Poopy Pants kick a rock down the street mentality it was no God just hooked you right the [ __ ] up I didn't get here doing everything that I love I did a fuckload of [ __ ] I hate and I did it for a very long period of time and I did not have anyone to root me on

and in fact I had many people who were actively trying to destroy my path and tell me why it was a terrible idea you have to suffer you have to make that a tattoo on your [ __ ] brain so when that hard time comes again you don't forget it that's why losing in life is so important whether it's getting dumped getting fired losing a game Lo loss those feelings where things didn't work out your way that's important because it lets you know this is the bad feeling that comes when it goes wrong and you

improve and then it makes the good feelings of Victory all the better you want to be ordinary you ain't even got to listen to me just go about your business if you think ordinary is cool ain't no problem it's some really really wonderful Ordinary People but if you are sitting in this room and you have extraordinary aspirations then you going to have to do extra you put extra on top of extra ordinary and you come up with extraordinary it's no other way you have to decide if you willing to do the things to put you

in that category rich people don't sleep eight hours a day that's a third of your life it ain't for 24 hours in a day you cannot be sleep 8 hours a day you can't live in that and wake up at 8:00 in the morning it's 11:00 on the East Coast the stock market been open 2 hours they already making decisions about your life and your ass was sleep I can't catch a break guys get them the [ __ ] away from me I can't I can't be around those guys I don't want to hear that

[ __ ] I don't want to hear that [ __ ] I don't buy it cuz everybody has bad breaks I've had a [ __ ] ton of bad breaks but you know what I did I I stayed up and I thought through it and I and I figured out what the [ __ ] I did wrong and then I went back it's like like I [ __ ] up everything I've ever done a 100 times there's no way other there's no other way to do it and I've had a bunch of shitty breaks everybody

has but you got to realize when you have those shitty breaks what that is it's an opportunity for you to reassess reboot get better figure out another way find another way through it's just just little challenges people don't get it there's there's great joy in The Grind Great Joy in the suffer it's it's totally cleanses your body out man if any kind of hate makes you grow up and I realize that life isn't [ __ ] Fair it's not fair M and you better figure out some tools in some ways to stop feeling sorry for

yourself cu no one is coming to rescue you no one feels sorry for you there's so much opportunity on the other side of being willing to persist for an extended period of time on the correct path without getting positive reinforcement from your environment and the longer you can stick with something without that positive feedback loop in terms of the big external thing the the the easier the opportunities are because so few people can pursue them difficult things make regular life less difficult and that's sounds so simplistic but particularly physically difficult things because when you do

things that are physically difficult the strain of making yourself do those things it's very valuable it's not just valuable like exercise and fitness and martial arts and running and whatever you're doing that's really difficult it's not just valuable in terms of like health and the way you look but it's also valuable for your mind bro you got to [ __ ] stop you got to stop with all this I can't catch a break [ __ ] all the time you're complaining you could be instead hustling you could be instead chasing your dream you could be

instead figuring out what you're doing wrong trying to prove certain aspects of your life getting your [ __ ] together reading a book meditating something [ __ ] something several people live to be 100 years old and they have great lives and they have great kids their kids go to college and all sort stuff but somewhere in their life there was a point where they had a decision to make they can go left or right on this path left was the easy route right was the hard route a lot of people take the easy route

and they had a good life that way but the better life was going to the right side and you may have 20 years of pain and suffering to get past it but a lot of us died never truly starting our journey you're waking up every morning by yourself and you're [ __ ] getting after by yourself and and it's the it's the hidden work people see a one minute you know video of me running and [ __ ] like like these Fighters you know they they see during the fight or after the fight they don't

see these [ __ ] man what they deal with every [ __ ] day I'm not good enough I'm not good enough I shouldn't be here I shouldn't be here cuz every day they're even though they're [ __ ] the best in the world that little [ __ ] at seven or eight years old is still in there saying oh man we we don't have sub we're not good enough we're not you shouldn't be here 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 I'm I make myself do things that are very uncomfortable that I don't want to do and by doing that I develop this strength and perseverance and some people hear that and like I don't

even want to do that I take a [ __ ] nap you were exhausting me like I'm not you I don't want to do that and they just like it takes them away from that and I'm like you don't even have to do that just go for a [ __ ] walk every day it sounds like it's easy to do but there's going to when that walk comes when look your clock oh it's 8:00 time to go for that walk you're like I don't want to walk I just rather play video games I don't want

to walk I'd rather like read emails I I don't want to walk I'd rather like scroll through Tik Tok but if you just force yourself to go for that [ __ ] walk every day you will develop mental pers perseverance you will develop some tenacity you'll develop the ability to force yourself into work in life we all go through different things sometimes your girlfriend or boyfriend breaks up with you guess what get the [ __ ] over it they no longer want you maybe you fell a test in school you worked your ass off guess

what you fell at the [ __ ] test get over it move past it learn to not let life hijack your brain at work you've been working your ass off for that new promotion you don't [ __ ] get it someone else does maybe they kiss better ass 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 and every day you [ __ ] fight not wanting to get

up and you do anyway you chip another piece off that [ __ ] rock and every day you [ __ ] eat the right foods and every day you go to train you train harder and harder and harder and harder and you get up earlier and all these things you do to start forming yourself you're chipping another [ __ ] piece of that rock up before you know it you have this beautiful [ __ ] piece of of of of artwork that that you built in everybody's Journey where they are so different because they've started

to do new things that they no longer fit in with their old set of friends but they're not sufficiently developed that they've gained their new set of friends and they're unsure should I go back should I lean back into getting a bad game with the boys on a weekend is that the highest you know way that I can live my life passion forward cuz that's what everybody else does and all of my friends are taking the piss oh not drinking again too good for us are we not going out again this week oh okay well

like enjoy staying in home and reading [ __ ] nerd so you're going to feel the pain of being ostracized from the group of friends that you used to have but you're stuck in this messy Middle where you haven't yet worked out who you are on the other side of this and that lonely chapter that's in the middle is something that I I would say almost nobody that I've ever met who has gone from a place where they are to a place where they want to be hasn't gone through you can't just go through life

just showing up eating sleeping and going to sleep you're going to get depressed like your your organism the human organism needs problem solving it needs complex problems it needs stress it needs some sort of difficult thing that you have to overcome and through that you relax you can't just have happiness all [Music] day [Music]
