Just Stay Focused on You
Forty minutes of interlocking voice-overs on focus, discipline, and self-belief — built for immersion, not instruction.
March 18thThe argument in one line.
The only opponent that matters is the person you were yesterday, and the suffering you are trying to escape is the exact resistance required to build who you are becoming.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- You are in a hard season right now and want a reframe that treats the difficulty as useful rather than as proof you are failing.
- You keep waiting to feel motivated before you start, and you suspect that feeling is never reliably going to show up.
- You measure yourself against other people and it leaves you stuck, and you want a cleaner scoreboard to compete on.
- You want the strongest lines from a long motivation compilation distilled into a handful of repeatable principles instead of two hours of audio.
SKIP IF…
- You want concrete tactics, systems, or step-by-step instruction — this is mindset and emotional fuel, not a how-to.
- Repetition of the same idea from many voices reads as filler to you rather than as reinforcement.
- You bounce off faith and combat framing — several clips lean on God, prayer, war, and battle imagery.
The full version, fast.
This is not one speech but a curated montage of fifty-plus speakers, sequenced by Absolute Motivation so the same few ideas hit you from many mouths in a row. The repeated through-lines are: suffering is a prerequisite rather than a punishment, you should compete only with your former self, discipline beats motivation because feelings are unreliable, the path is a solo mission where no one cares until you win, consistency is what compounds into character, and fear is a choice you override with daily courage. The practical conclusion across every speaker is the same — stop waiting to feel ready, do the hard thing on schedule, and measure yourself only against who you were yesterday.

00:00 – 13:00
01 · Suffering is the tool
Opening movement stacks speaker after speaker on one claim — pain is not punishment, it is the resistance that calluses the mind and builds the man.
13:00 – 26:00
02 · Pain is a prerequisite
The weight-room metaphor and the 'pain isn't penalty, it's a prerequisite' core land here, reframing the current hard season as preparation rather than failure.
26:00 – 38:00
03 · Beat your former self
Jordan Peterson and others reframe competition inward — the only fair opponent is who you were yesterday, and your habits are your real frequency.
38:00 – 51:00
04 · Discipline over motivation
Fear and hesitation get overridden not by feeling motivated but by discipline; motivation is dismissed as ungrounded and unreliable.
51:00 – 1:04:00
05 · The solo mission
The title's spine — no one was there at the lowest point, no one cares until you win, so you become the person who roots for you first.
1:04:00 – 1:17:00
06 · Risk, scars and the arena
Roosevelt's arena, Goggins' scars, and a run on risk — rewards live on the other side of risk, and you get judged on scars, not medals.
1:17:00 – 1:30:00
07 · Consistency is your frequency
World-class consistency beats world-class talent; small decisions made repeatedly compound into character and outcome.
1:30:00 – 1:43:00
08 · Fear is a choice
The 'fear is not real, danger is real, fear is a choice' set-piece, plus courage as the daily activation that moves you while the fear is still present.
1:43:00 – 2:02:31
09 · Choose your sacrifice
Closing movement — the sacrifice is inevitable so choose it, do the hard thing first, give one year your absolute all, and convert the feeling into a habit before it fades.
Lines worth screenshotting.
- Pain is not a penalty, it is a prerequisite — the resistance you are under is the exact load required to build who you are becoming.
- The only opponent worth defeating is your former self, because you are the only fair control for your own advantages and disadvantages.
- Motivation is just a feeling and you cannot rely on it when it is time to execute, so build habits that run without needing the feeling.
- No one cares until you win, and you will not be recognized until you are undeniably successful — so stop waiting to be believed in and go become great.
- What you do frequently becomes your frequency, that frequency becomes a pattern, the pattern becomes your character, and your character becomes your life.
- Success rarely depends on world-class talent, but it always depends on world-class consistency.
- Danger is real but fear is a choice, because fear only exists in imagined futures that may never arrive.
- Showing up is not half the battle — it is none of the battle, and treating it as enough means you are nowhere near winning.
- The sacrifice is inevitable, so the only real freedom you have is choosing which sacrifice you make.
- If you do the things you do not want to do, you will eventually have everything you have ever wanted.
- Most people fail not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.
- Self-worth comes from doing hard things — you cannot affirm your way into it, you have to earn it through the struggle you have actually survived.
- Commitment is staying true to what you said long after the mood you said it in has left.
- Most people give up what they want most for what they want now.
Out-work who you were yesterday, on schedule.
WHAT TO LEARN
The compilation's cross-speaker consensus is that the discomfort you are avoiding is the resistance building you, so the move is to do the hard thing daily, measured only against your former self.
- Treat your current hard season as load-bearing resistance rather than punishment, because the difficulty is what forces the growth you actually want.
- Pick one opponent that you can fairly beat — the person you were yesterday — and let being slightly better each day be the whole scoreboard.
- Stop waiting to feel motivated, because the feeling is unreliable; build a habit that executes whether or not the motivation shows up.
- Expect that no one applauds the work until it succeeds, and become the first person to root for yourself instead of needing outside belief first.
- Audit your habits honestly, since what you do frequently compounds into your character and your life far more than your intentions do.
- When fear shows up, act anyway — danger is real but fear lives in an imagined future, and daily courage is what moves you while the fear is still present.
- Do the single hardest, least-wanted task first so the rest of the day coasts and you end it proud instead of avoidant.
- Convert the rush from a video like this into one concrete daily action before it fades, because the motivation evaporates but a habit stays.
Terms worth knowing.
- Anti-fragile
- A quality where a thing gets stronger the more it is attacked or stressed, rather than merely surviving the abuse the way something tough does. Borrowed from Nassim Taleb and applied to the self.
- Accountability mirror
- A self-confrontation practice, associated with David Goggins, of looking at yourself honestly and owning your problems out loud instead of blaming the people who caused them.
- The arena
- A reference to Theodore Roosevelt's 'Man in the Arena' passage — the idea that credit belongs to the person actually competing and getting bloodied, not the critic watching from safety.
- Invictus
- The William Ernest Henley poem ('I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul') recited in the compilation as a set-piece about enduring hardship unbroken.

00:03The way to self mastery. Don't change the world.
00:10Don't fix the world out there. Fix this one.
00:15Fix by you walk through this lifetime, you meet your friends, you meet your partner, you meet your colleagues, whatsoever, and you're being triggered.
00:23Why are you being triggered? Remove whatever is triggering you. Remove it.
00:30There's nothing that shakes you too much in you. But not because you suppress it, because you have transcended it.
00:38That is the difference.
00:40A blade does not become strong. It does not become tempered until it's been through the fire.
00:48Until it's been through the fire several times. And this is just your first or second time through the fire and there's a lot of hammer work that has to take place.
01:01Suffering is a fact of life. If you look at suffering the right way, it is a great tool to callous your mind.
01:09If you look at it as suffering, woe is me, this is bullshit, God kicking rocks. If you look at like, you tested me now.
01:19I get it.
01:21Winners, the difference between them and the spectators is the winners have a belief that overrides the crowd's disbelief every single time.
01:32Their belief is so strong. Even though they hit failure, get knocked on their ass. They're finding intestinal fortitude to stand back up again.
01:39Things that seem challenged, learning from the previous mistakes, and make it happen. Failure winners fail a million times. What makes it a winner is they bleed and they were head strong.
01:50Nothing's gonna stop them.
01:53Everything changed for me when I realized that we're not meant to feel excited and perfect all the time. I started accepting that where I am right now is where I'm genuinely meant to be. Tough days are all a part of the process.
02:06Lean into them. Bad days are also part of a very good and meaningful life. So on my toughest days, I think about getting through one more day, one more workout, one more rep.
02:16Brother, you've been asking God to change your life, but refuse every road that looks like it might be difficult. Just the thought, worth the thing you're afraid of is the very thing he's waiting for you to start.
02:31Only one way to find out.
02:34If you truly want to be no one, then you're free.
02:44There's nothing to prove. There's nothing to do in a way, but you are free to do everything.
02:52But not because you need to prove something, not because you need to achieve something, and that in a way truly makes free.
03:00Urgently you that survives this is going to be untouchable because the pain made him real. You're looking at what you're going through right now and treating it like punishment or it's a penalty box like you're losing.
03:11Pain isn't penalty. It's a prerequisite. You're asking God for the capacity to lead, to build, the capacity to hold weight, and he's answering that prayer by putting you in a room where the weight is heavier than anything you've ever lifted before.
03:24You don't build muscle by lifting what's comfortable or what's easy. You build it by lifting what's almost too heavy to move. The man that you're becoming right now requires the exact resistance that you're in right now.
03:36The men who've been through the fire, we don't walk the same. They don't move the room the same. There's a stillness in a man who survived the worst chapter of his life, day.
03:46We're not men because we face the battle and we get immediately victory every time a battle comes up. We're men because we face the battle and we stay in the battle when we feel like we're losing and we feel like we're getting beat up, but we stay in there, and we keep fighting, and we plant our feet, and we say until death do our part, this is me and I will fight this battle regardless of what the battle is.
04:19If you're doing something and it's easy, it's not valuable. World class marathoner on mile 21.
04:26Is that dude smiling? No. He's not smiling.
04:29Because somebody else who's down for the pain will go harder and further and pass him. Life
04:35is short and fragile. Your clock is ticking and you must act with urgency. No matter the result of yesterday, with each rise of the sun, you have a new opportunity to build positive habits.
04:48Habits that harness your full human potential. Habits that bring you closer to meeting your highest self. Starve your distractions.
04:57They are the root of your negative habits, and nothing positive will blossom from them. Feed your focus.
05:04Let it take root and watch it grow strong enough to choke out your excuses.
05:10So the question is who should you defeat in the final analysis and the answer is you should defeat your former self. You should be constantly trying to do that and you're the right control for yourself too, because you're the one who's had all your advantages and disadvantages. If you wanna compete fairly with someone, then you should be competing with you.
05:26If you're improving yourself, then what you are doing is competing with your lesser self. And then you might also ask, well, what is that lesser self? And that lesser self would be resentful and bitter, aggressive and vengeance seeking and all of those things that go along with having a negative moral character and those are things that interfere with your ability to progress as you move forward through life.
05:46So it's very necessary to understand that this is why, you know, I've been stressing this idea of personal responsibilities like while personal responsibility is to compete with yourself, is to be slightly better than yourself the next day.
06:00And you know, they say, remember who was there for you at your lowest, but no one was there for me at my lowest. Life has always just been a solo mission.
06:10Through all the struggle, through all the adversity, no one was there by my side.
06:15It was always me at the end of the day that had to make it happen for me. And the harsh truth is no one cares until you win. You'll never get recognized until you finally are undeniably successful.
06:27Humans are conditional. They want you if you benefit them.
06:31The moment that you don't, they just cut you off. But honestly, I like it that way.
06:41Suffering has a pattern. Yeah. Suffering has a pattern.
06:47It's yeah. Pattern meaning there is a structure.
06:53The ability of whatever arises, you never know what it arise, never know how strong it is, but your ability to realize there is still something, no matter how strong it is, there is still something stable about you, then you can let arise whatever it is.
07:11Sometimes there are just forces and energies in this world. They are very, very strong.
07:19And if you are not able to have a proper root of yourself, if you have nothing about your mind that truly is anchored steadily, you're gonna lose yourself.
07:34And therefore, what is it that I wish for everyone? Find this root.
07:43That the mind also needs suffering. The mind needs also struggle, setbacks, and that you have to climb back up again.
07:53That's what makes you strong. It's like Nietzsche said, that what does not kill you will make you stronger. And this is exactly what it is.
08:02It's it's all about, you know, that people should look forward to the struggle because the struggle makes you tougher. And so don't shy away from that.
08:12It's part of life and it will make you grow.
08:18It doesn't matter how you feel. It doesn't matter what people say to you. It doesn't matter if they laugh at you.
08:26It doesn't matter if you're tired, if you're sore, if you're beat up. You're gonna be all those things, and all those things are gonna happen. You are gonna have to build yourself into someone who can execute regardless.
08:41And when you become that version of you, there is not a mother thing on this planet that can stop you.
08:55The greatest test that anything could withstand is time.
09:00Just give it time. It'll reveal itself.
09:03Setbacks, problems, adversity, opposition, challenges are expected but never permanent.
09:14Like, want you to pick up what I'm telling you, man. Setbacks, adversity, opposition, challenges, problems is to be expected.
09:22When you're trying to do something hard, what your brain does is give you something else hard to do that's not quite as hard so that you can feel justified in not doing the thing you're supposed to because you're doing something else useful. And if you give in to that temptation, which you often will, then it wins and because it wins, it gets a little dopamine kick and it grows stronger.
09:40Anything you let win, the internal argument grows.
09:45How can you beat someone who cannot fucking quit? How can you beat someone who every time they go through a hard time, they get better and they get stronger instead of getting weaker and getting demoralized.
09:59Like we all gonna go through something like I love to quote that say, we all got problem. What makes us different is how we solve them. It's expected but never permanent.
10:09You always have to be the person who roots for you before everyone else does.
10:21One day you'll wake up and realize the potential knowing you've chosen comfort over effort.
10:29Fear is overcome. Hesitation is overcome. It's not overcome by motivation.
10:34It's overcome by discipline. I'm scared. I'm afraid.
10:38I'm nervous. I'm hesitant. I'm not sure if I want to do this.
10:41I'm second guessing. All those little things, they're just overridden by one thing and one thing only discipline and that's where it's gonna take. That is the discipline.
10:50When he lost courage, he would recite it and it would give him the what he needed to keep going.
11:00Out of the knife that covers me black as the picture pole to pole, I think whatever God there may be for my uncomfortable soul. The failed collective circumstance, I have not cried aloud.
11:15Under the bludgeoning of fate, my head is bloody, but unbrowned. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms for the shadow of the shade.
11:25Yet the minutes of the years finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how straight the gate and how punishment charged this role.
11:35I am the master of my fate. I am the captain myself.
11:42What got me to this point was I was just the opposite of what I am today. I was that guy who ran away from absolutely everything that got in front of me.
11:54What pain have you gone through
11:56that has turned into suffering? It's the relationship where someone's unfaithful and you end a relationship that you thought was great. That is painful.
12:04But suffering is three years down the road and still saying, can't trust a man, can't trust a woman. It's the same thing when it comes to money. It's the same thing when it comes to business.
12:13What pain have you experienced in your past that you didn't process, that you didn't learn from, and now it's just this suffering mechanism that wakes you up, keeps you thinking is when you're when you're alone in your thoughts, it pops up, it's like, hey, suffering here. Let's spend some time together. It's like, screw you.
12:28I learned from that. I'm no longer suffering. Declare today, decide today that suffering will end.
12:34Pain is a part of our life. The more pain you have, that means the bigger you're playing the game. We don't have to suffer.
12:39You have a choice.
12:44Things are hard in life because this is the way that your soul evolves and grows.
12:49Of it like a weight room. When I lift weights and I lift weight that I that's easy for me, I'm not gonna make any growth in my muscle.
12:58It won't. But when I start to lift things that are heavy, that are difficult, there's a lot of resistance. That's going to create tears in my muscle that eventually will start to grow back, and it will develop muscle.
13:11I will increase my strength. Life is the same thing. The weight room is a microcosm of life.
13:17So I have to go through hard things. I have to go through things that put put me under tension, that make me uncomfortable, that create resistance to ensure that my mind, that my soul will continue to evolve and grow. But just like with lifting weights, if it gets hard and I drop it, I let it down, I'm not going to get out of it what I could have gotten it gotten out of it.
13:38So instead, when times get hard, there may be times that you have to take a break, but do not give up.
13:47It doesn't get any easier. Wins don't come easy. Wins are earned.
13:52The score matters. We live in the world where everybody thinks of, you know, hey, showing up is half the battle. No.
13:58Showing up is none of the battle. It's none of the battle. If showing up is half the battle, you're so far away from winning and being limitless, you're never even gonna get that.
14:11So I know it might not seem this way, but life is so much more exciting when you discipline and working towards something. It doesn't have to be some huge life goal, it's anything that just gets you out of bed in the morning. Something that gives you a reason to wanna chase each day because it feels good to improve, man.
14:24There's a purpose for a change. I don't know you, I don't know your current situation, but I do know if you constantly feel lost and unmotivated in your life, it's because you haven't been in motion and objects at rest stay at rest.
14:35The problem isn't that it's hard. The problem isn't that you're scared. The problem isn't that you wanna give up.
14:40The problem is you thinking it's not supposed to be like this because it is. These obstacles are the tests you must pass to become the person you want to be. They were in the terms of conditions you didn't know you signed when you started chasing this dream of yours.
14:54So embrace the struggle. Smile at the pain because one day you'll look back on this time as the good old days.
15:02The difference between people that are achieving in life and don't achieve in life isn't really the potential, what they're born with, or gifts, or anything else. It's their perseverance.
15:13Always showing up. Always giving yourself a chance. Get out of bed coming here in the morning,
15:19going for it, and you're off to sweep it.
15:23Put yourself in the opportunity to get that break, but give yourself a chance.
15:29At the end of the day, tell you what you do.
15:32But the more you feel against the wall, something will eventually stick.
15:37I just wanted to be a better version of myself and I kept looking in the mirror and envisioning what I could look like as long as you're alive and you're strong and you can keep pushing and you stay motivated and disciplined and just stick to the grind. And most importantly, you have a plan as long as you work, you get there.
15:57There's something that everyone lacks nowadays is just having the consistency and do well to stay on the path, you know.
16:06It's not what you do, it's who you are. Yep. It's not what's gonna get you there, it's what's gonna keep you there.
16:11Do what's right, not what's easy. You know what I'm saying? It's not what you do, it's who you are.
16:17Like how you operate, how you treat people, how you do things. It's not what you do, it's who you are. Right?
16:23It's not what got you there, it's what's gonna keep you there. Do what's right, not what's easy.
16:29Right? Just how you live your life. There's certain people that live life a certain type of way.
16:34There's certain people that do things a certain type of way.
16:37If you risk nothing, you risk everything. Risk is scary, but regret is terrifying.
16:43The safe harbor of success is an illusion. In life, your rewards rarely exceed your risks. Results, respect, resilience are all on the other side of risk.
16:57Be bold in the face of your fear, never abandon. Take risks and take what's yours.
17:05You only got one life guys.
17:07Again, if you work the rights, you only need one.
17:13If did all you have, you're gonna get math potential back.
17:17And who knows what to come? That's a beautiful thing.
17:21If you don't show up guys, you know the outcome. You'll never get the the job, never get the part, never get the girl if you don't show up. You show up, you put yourself in a situation to create those opportunities.
17:36Failures are a prerequisite to who we want to become. I cannot stress that enough.
17:43So sometimes something that seems to be a negative things seems to be a bad thing that is happening to us or even a season of dormant or even a season where we have to sit back and start to recalibrate, recoil the spring so to speak, reconfigure where we're at.
18:05Sometimes that's right where we need to be.
18:10What are you gonna do? How bad do you want it? There's two options.
18:17Continue forward, pushing upward. And if you do, that dream is giving birth.
18:25And forever, you will live in the reality of it. If you stop, quit, throw the towel. I promise you there's no distance you can travel far enough to find that dream again.
18:38For it is dead. And in its death, it's replaced by regret.
18:46Because you're sad, now you're gonna make a bunch of bad decisions because you're sad. No. No.
18:49It doesn't doesn't work like that. It doesn't work like that. You're sad.
18:54Okay. You get emotional sometimes? Okay.
18:59Got it. Now, get control of your emotions and carry on with your life.
19:04Work like they're trying to take it from you because they are. If you're not working like someone is trying to take everything you've worked for, someone eventually will. They don't care that you're tired.
19:15They don't care how you feel. They don't care about your excuses. They don't care about your emotions.
19:21Complacency kills.
19:23You do not need them to believe in you. You do not need your friends to tell you you're great. All you have to do is go become great and they will recognize you.
19:33So we all have some stuff that we've been given. And I don't think that it's optional for us to sit on what we have.
19:42See, if you're sitting on what you have, what you've been given, I think everybody's been given something
19:48to bring to the planet that only you can do that, only you can perform that, only you can initiate that activity. And if you don't do that, if you're not filling in your life with your life work or your mission, then there are gaps in your life.
20:05You forgot who the fuck you are, bro. You got so caught up in other people's opinions and the way the world looks at you that you forgot what got you here in the first place. Forget everybody else, bro.
20:15Forget the crowd. Forget the the clubs. Forget whatever it is.
20:18You have nobody to prove anything to except yourself. In my philosophy,
20:23I'm a warrior and everything should be perfect. Everything what I'm doing, I have to do it well or I shouldn't do it at all.
20:34Somehow, the man who's not at peace is a man who was born to not fit in, but he's trying to shoe worn himself into a box or into a hole that he was never meant to fit in.
20:49And that might be you. Some of you are meant for the journey,
20:54not for the arrival.
20:56Embrace the journey and shun the box, And be one of those men who finds things, who figures things out, who sees things that others are not able to see.
21:12And what we do when we're not living out our true identity, we begin to fill the gaps, we fill the holes with garbage.
21:22If you
21:25give up a little bit today, like you can't get it back. Like if you skip a workout today, you can't you there's no possible way to get that back.
21:37When you let something go, it's gone. And Rome wasn't built in a day, but Rome didn't fall apart on the day.
21:43It didn't fall out fall apart because of one thing. It falls apart just a little bit at a time. And so you can't, you know, you can't submit.
21:53You can't submit.
21:55The thing you do holds value.
21:58There are no shortcuts. You went to every fucking corner, made a left turn or a right turn and then you went down the next path. Ensure everything and the opportunity was presented and you got the most at each situation you could.
22:12If you come up short, you know it's not from your lack of effort. You
22:17got beat honestly and that's fine.
22:20You know, we all have one voice. You know, one voice is very powerful that says, hey, you've earned this, you deserve this, take time off, all that stuff. Start developing the other voice.
22:31The other voice that fights that voice where it's not a designated day off. I don't care if it's running, swimming, biking, studying. If it's not a day off, don't take a day off.
22:42What you do frequently becomes your frequency. So if you wanna know your life, look at your habits. That's what you do frequently.
22:50Right? And they add up to a rhythm. That rhythm becomes a pattern.
22:54That pattern becomes your character. The character becomes your life. You're not gonna be able to break out of it until you change something about who you are.
23:02So there's so many people that's operating from a paradigm of fear. They got too much fear. Courage is where it starts.
23:08Courage is where the shift start because the fear gonna be there. But daily courage is how you activate yourself even when the fear comes. The fear of success and the fear of failure, it paralyzes people.
23:19It minimizes your vision. It stops your movement. It makes you think small as hell.
23:24It's your fear that stopped you. Insecurity, you don't think you're good enough?
23:28You don't think that's for you? Right? So when you talk about frequencies, the shift comes to saying that, you know, you have to be what you want to
23:36achieve already. Wouldn't you wanna know what would happen if you spent just one year, just one year giving it your absolute all.
23:46You gave your diet your absolute all. You gave your fitness regimen your absolute all. You gave your work your absolute all.
23:53How drastically would your life change in just one year? One year of uninterrupted focus.
24:01The whole like journey of a process of somebody trying to become a master of something is way more fun when you're uncovering the knowledge along the way rather than just being given it at start. I think it's a fool's approach to wanna have all the answers at the beginning or even to think you have all of them.
24:17I still far from having all the answers. Maybe there'd be a way where I would start with the knowledge again and go on a different path and then the better or worse. I never know, but I would still rather go along the journey without the knowledge to begin with.
24:29The process it takes to be number one and stay at number one, you have no idea. Everybody wants to sit in your seat until they have to sit in your seat. Very few people understand what winning at success does to an individual's mental health.
24:46Everybody thinks the more you win, the more successful you are. It just makes everything so much easier. And they don't understand the pressures that these individuals put on themselves to continue to perform at the highest level.
25:04The more time you spend alone, they're figure out, okay, what your purpose is and I say that because of this.
25:13You start seeking in those moments of not having any outside distractions.
25:21What happens is things become clear, clarity sets in And you're able to make decisions not based on what you saw that day or what you heard that day or what that person may have said to you.
25:33You're able to make decisions based on how you feel internally.
25:38Inside we grow. We start from here and it comes out. And from within, we're not worried about the sun, the clouds, the fucking people in the parking lots.
25:49We're worried about our mission at hand.
25:55Mortality, I think, is something we don't think about enough for certainty.
26:03Know, we're we're in this brief shaft of light between two oceans of darkness. Everyone always thinks about the tail end. Right?
26:11Who thinks about what happens after you die? Mark Twain had this great quote. You know, we he said he said, I wasn't alive for billions of years before my birth, and it didn't inconvenience me in the least.
26:28But this brief shaft of light is kind of magnificent, isn't it?
26:46Nothing great is going to come without you having to deal with what I call adversity and pain tolerance.
26:55Tolerance.
26:56Real self worth comes from doing hard things.
27:03You must be able to deal with that and the more understanding you have of what's causing you the pain and how you've dealt with it is gonna determine how successful you will be in whatever you choose in life.
27:19That your mind is designed to help you get what you want.
27:26You just have to be willing to believe it's possible.
27:30The reality is is that most people never do what they really wanna do in life because they are afraid of what other people are gonna say. You take what they say and you use it.
27:44Loser is not an option with me.
27:46Not being successful is not an option. When you make not being successful, it's not an option for you that's when your life's gonna change.
27:55Where you are now is just a reflection of your past thoughts, your past thinking.
28:01If you want to change your future, you gotta change your thoughts now.
28:10See adversity is like the gym for your soul. It hurts, it's heavy, but it builds you up.
28:17Every time you want to quit, every time life tried to break you, you chose to stay at talk.
28:24That's what makes you great.
28:29It's about the grind, the sleepless nights, the sacrifices, the prayers you whisper when nobody was watching.
28:37It's all about those moments when you could have folded, but you didn't. You see the underdog story is the realest story there is.
28:45I can probably guarantee a 99.9% of the times you're gonna you're gonna say, oh, yeah. Wish I started doing that sooner.
28:54Right? Here. And you're never gonna regret something you really went after.
28:58There's at least you went after it, you know. If you never try, that's the things that people look back on and they say, oh man, that's what I can do now. Right?
29:07The time is absolutely gone. There's no turning it back.
29:11He meant self love. We keep talking about loving yourself, believing in yourself.
29:18That happens naturally when you go through something difficult. The point is we've all done hard things and self worth and self value comes from recognizing the hardship you've been through and the growth that you made during that time.
29:36Champions aren't found on the podium with their hand up. No. Champions are found in the lab studies, The thousands of hours of hard work when no one's watching.
29:46That's what makes the will unstoppable. When you're in your no one else's, and you're pushing yourself harder than anybody with no one around,
29:54that right there, guys, is a spark that catches flames. Burns every fear down, guys. Some fear, people use and and it enables them, fear does.
30:07You know, it's a block to them. They're scared from it. They run from it.
30:10Fear, you know, shuts them down.
30:12Others, here's the motivation.
30:15I feel fear now. Yeah. I'm a catalyst.
30:18I never had the fear to feel it again.
30:21Here's the thing. Once something's important to you, it never leaves your mind.
30:26If you always dreamt about being a singer songwriter and you never did it, you'll be haunted by that at the age of 70 because it's still right here stored in the back of your mind. It's something that's meant for you that's trying to call to you.
30:41You see your dreams, you either pursue them or they fucking haunt you.
30:47If I was around you for twenty four hours, what would you actually say? Would it really say you're serious about growing what you're growing?
30:55I wouldn't say you're just interested in it. Success doesn't always depend on world class talent.
31:02It's a small piece of it. You can learn how to be talented, I promise you. But it does depend
31:11on world class consistency. You need to recognize that driven people always feel behind, they're always gonna have doubt, they're always gonna have chips on their shoulder. That's what makes us feel great at what we do.
31:23It's not the affirmations. It's the fucking dark shit. It's those people that told us we were losers.
31:29It's the people that told us we were pieces of shit. And anybody who tells you different, they haven't achieved anything. Look at what they've achieved.
31:36It's probably a bunch of smoke and mirrors. Real mother remember all the dark shit. They take the dark shit and they put it in a productive action to build the life that they want.
31:46Try, bro. Try. Why don't you try?
31:51Go harder, bro. Work. Work.
31:54There's not even no pressure on a dream. It's a dream. There's pressure to feed you, feed your kids.
31:59There's pressure to pay rent. There's pressure to make sure that you don't get fired from your job. A dream though, All all a dream is is is fake reality that you can make a real reality.
32:12That's all the dream is.
32:14So work it.
32:17Because when you come from nothing, you appreciate everything. You hustle different, you love different, and you lead different.
32:26So today, I want you to do three things.
32:30Stay humble, never forget where you came from, stay hungry, keep that fire in your soul, and stay true.
32:41Always be real with yourself and the world because the world don't need no more copies. It need originals and trust ain't nobody else that can do what you do like you do.
32:54You didn't fight through all of that just to stay silent. Someone out there needs what you've lived.
33:01The lessons you've bled for, the wisdom you've earned the hard way. You're not too broken.
33:08You're proof that it's possible. Perfection isn't what reaches people. Honesty does.
33:14Someone is waiting not for the polished version of you, but for the real one.
33:20Say it, show it, let them know that they're not alone.
33:26You didn't come this far just to keep it to yourself.
33:30People who don't have a sense of purpose, a mission, and don't have a consistent routine end up digging holes in their life. Gambling, over drinking, too much television, things that slowly chip away at humanity.
33:42Things that people use to escape. And you're like, woah, where this come from? It was the absence of purpose and it was absence of routine.
33:49We need it. Otherwise, humans dig their that holes in their lives too. No different than a German Shepherd.
33:55Most important thing is the consistence. If you have consistence, you're gonna be good in the future or you're gonna be better than other ones in the future. I think it's part of the life.
34:08It's like that. Who told you the opposites?
34:12They are not part of this world, in my opinion. If you want to achieve successful, it's the only one.
34:17So you're never gonna be Yeah. You're never gonna be in a high level so many years.
34:22If you are not consistent more than other ones, if you don't do it at something more than other ones, you're never gonna be number one lately.
34:33I just beat me. This ain't about nobody else. I don't give up about nobody else.
34:37I just beat me. If I can keep doing that, then that means that I'm in a battle with the only person that can make sense.
34:47I'm in a battle with the only person that I really wanna can beat, and that's me. I don't I don't care about anybody else.
34:57I have no worry or gripe about the next man or woman's journey. If I can continue to outdo me from the day before, then I'm then I'm ahead.
35:09Wake up, bro. It's halftime. That contract you signed at the beginning of the year is waiting to be completed.
35:17Here you are, about to start the third quarter. You just dropped a stinker in the first half. These the championship rounds, bro.
35:23This is where all that shit counts. Neither you gonna show up and get that ring, get that trophy, get that dream that you've always wanted or somebody else that signed that same contract is gonna get it before you.
35:36You okay with letting that happen? You okay with falling short again? Because I ain't.
35:41You told yourself this year was different. Stop talking bro. Start doing.
35:46Halftime's over. It's your turn to win.
35:50Fear is not real.
35:55The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist.
36:11Danger is very real, but fear is a choice.
36:17Life is the most brutal endurance sport of all time, and that's what we have to love about it. With a flipper on his head, they love the fact that life continues to attack us.
36:27There are no fucking timeouts. We have to know that when we die, we die with some meaning and some purpose in this world.
36:37I don't want to live at the level of feelings. You settle too low.
36:43You settle for what you see. You settle for what people say. You settle for old templates.
36:49You settle for old scripts. You settle for emotions.
36:53You can't have a victory without a battle.
36:56God is
36:58raising you up right now. He's doing it through a process.
37:03The level you will settle on
37:05is the level that you see yourself.
37:15Because what the enemy sent to stop you is not going to have its intended purpose. When that snake bites, don't panic, don't fall apart, just shake it off and keep moving forward.
37:29Keep thanking God that he's fighting your battles. Keep thanking him that what was meant for harm, he's turning to your advantage.
37:39If you don't stand up and decide to live and survive and move forward and find a way into the next season of your life, you will pass along the same spirit that has tormented you.
37:54And that's not just if you're on the edge. That's anybody feels like quitting. But quitting the thing that God has called you to, it's not small.
38:10Don't die outside of your destiny.
38:20What is successful and what is failure, the differential are so small. We're talking about seconds.
38:27We're talking about, you know, reps. We're talking about the finest echelon of measurement that will make or break someone's life to be successful successful at that moment.
38:40And once that that moment successful, that gives a birth of a lifestyle that's unbeatable, second to none. But in order to have the first success, you must ensure yourself that you're giving it all you can today.
38:56It's time to stay focused. It's time to decide, love, party, and wanna fit in and socialize, rub elbows with everybody so people can stop calling you weird.
39:10Why are you so antisocial? Because I'm trying to get it. Why are you out there practicing in the hot sun when ain't nobody else out there?
39:18Because I'm trying to get it. 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,
39:34you're gonna fly. Between the acting of a dreadful thing, between the moment when you are waiting to do something that you don't want to do, and the first motion, and the moment when you initiate the action, all the inter is like a phantasma or a hideous dream.
40:00Life ain't about medals. Ain't about certificates. Ain't about houses, money, cars, fame, all that shit.
40:11It's about scars. So when you get judged with everything it's said and done with, you won't get judged in your medals. You get judged in your scars, the scars show your willingness to get to the job.
40:25They show your failures. They show your willingness to start from scratch. They show what you're willing to do to go the distance, to see what you're capable of.
40:38So make sure like, don't be afraid to get stars. Stay hard.
40:55You know, everyone has their disabilities, let's say. And I know that some people are far more terribly affected than other people.
41:02Perfectly aware of that. But the question is, what do you do about that? And what you do is you you set yourself up on your damn crutches and you struggle up the bloody hill.
41:12That's what you do. And you struggle up the hill towards the kingdom of God. That's what you do.
41:18Because alternative is to descend into the abyss. That's the alternative. And then so to say, well, do you believe?
41:24It's like, I believe that you should struggle uphill towards the city of God on your crutches. That's what you should do. That's the opposite of the descent into the abyss.
41:39So the battle, the struggle, the hesitation takes place in that moment. That moment when we must step into the unknown.
41:50That moment filled with fear and horror. And that fear is what causes hesitation and hesitation causes defeat.
42:01Hesitation is the enemy. Hesitation allows the moment to pass, the opportunity to be lost, the enemy to get the upper hand.
42:12Hesitation turns into cowardice. It stops us from moving forward, from taking initiative, from executing what we know we must.
42:21Hesitation defeats us, so we must defeat it.
42:29And it's possible that I can bring my greatness out here in the universe, that I can do what I want to do. It's possible.
42:37Possible. I can bounce back from adversity and reinvent my life.
42:42It's possible. Regardless of where I am, the things can get better for me.
42:50Get your feet on the ground. Step forward. Do not hesitate.
42:54Do not wait. Go forward and win.
43:02A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts.
43:10So he uses touch with reality and lives in a world of illusions.
43:19We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses. Time to wake up.
43:28What is reality? It isn't material. That's just an idea.
43:35Reality is this. Whoever it is that you wanna be, no matter how many times you may have failed at attempting to become that person leading up to this point, you can still become that person.
43:48You're going to decide who that is. You're gonna hold that ideal in your mind and you're going to force yourself to act in accordance.
43:55You are going to tell people what you're up to. And if you really have some balls, you're gonna tell people that want you to fail because that, believe it or not, that's who's gonna come to your rescue in your darkest hours of wanting to give up.
44:10It's gonna be remembering that out there is someone who's laughing at you, who wants you to fail, that's talking behind your back about how you're never going to achieve it, and then imagine how rad it will be when you actually do achieve it.
44:27We can't work out without purpose. We need to get into our dress for the wedding. Summertime's coming so we wanna look all good.
44:35The biggest purpose in life isn't all it. It's how you respect yourself. How you look at yourself.
44:40That's an everyday journey.
44:44So everyday you should be getting after it. We look at determination, self discipline.
44:50We look at hard work. All these terms is almost like we dread them. So I'm looking at dread and punishment.
44:57Look at those words as a lifestyle. Stay hard.
45:09Look inside, you'll find something to grapple with.
45:15You have so much time to live. It's your time. So your goal in life is to realize that that is your treasure.
45:22So let's say you're working at that job and you have that horrible boss and you're miserable. You could turn that around and make those eight hours a lifetime.
45:32You tell yourself, maybe I could see that there are things that I can learn even from the worst possible job. So that's how you create a lifetime by saying, it's mine. I'm gonna create something worthwhile out of it.
45:43I'm not gonna give it away to others. This is my time. I'm gonna own it.
45:49What I'm saying is don't settle. Don't live lives of complacency because because there is so much out there for us.
45:56We all have the right to live incredibly fulfilled, incredibly passionate, incredibly joyful lives where you are psyched it's Monday morning, where you are psyched that you're in quarantine with your family, where you are psyched that you get to do what you do every single day.
46:15And if something doesn't line up that way, don't put it off. This is your life. No one is going to come and change it for you.
46:23Why couldn't we just be happy being who and what we are? Why is it that we're punished if we don't strive? Couldn't we just be rewarded for who we are?
46:32I can understand that, but I don't think that it works. I don't think things function like that. And I don't think probably in the final analysis we really want them to.
46:41I don't know if anyone enjoys undeserved reward. It feels creepy. Doesn't it?
46:46To be rewarded for something you didn't do? When else, the positive emotion that we find sustaining is experienced in relationship to an unachieved goal.
46:56Oh, if you wanna begin to grow, you've got to put something out here that you can't reach easily. That has gotta make you stretch, gotta make you jump for it, gotta make you get back a little bit and dig in so that you can take a leap for it. And maybe you jump up there and you miss it and you extend your knees and you come back again and you bust your lip next time.
47:14But you keep on and through that process, you learn how to leap higher. You start challenging yourself to dig deeper, and then you discover some things about you that you don't know right now.
47:24Some talents that you have in you that you didn't know that you can do.
47:32Right? Most cats are somebody that works hard. If the situation and the circumstance is what they wanted to be, they're gonna come out and they're gonna act accordingly and they're gonna give you everything they got for the hard worker.
47:44Regardless of situation, regardless of circumstance, regardless of what happened, I'm gonna show up and I'm gonna give everything I got to it because I'm looking for something that's totally different.
47:53Like the question becomes this, can you be committed to the process of what you're doing without being emotionally attached to the results of what you do?
48:06Nothing's ever gonna be given to you. Everything's gonna be earned.
48:11If you don't go out there and put in the work, you don't go out put in the effort, one, you're not gonna get the results, but two, the more importantly, you don't deserve it.
48:19You didn't earn it.
48:25Do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be? Right? Like courage, do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?
48:33And so anytime you gotta be courageous, let's look at it from the standpoint of dreams, goals and aspirations. You got your dream, your goal, and your aspiration, and then you got reality.
48:45And oftentimes reality doesn't reflect the goal, the dream, and the aspiration. And so when you think courage like being courageous and following your heart because it somehow knows what you wanna do anyway, like it's almost like instinct.
49:00Right? It's almost like when you feel something that you should do and for some strange reason like your mind or your spirit tells you, no, I don't wanna do it because it takes you outside of your comfort zone and it puts you in a space in place that may be unknown or push you in a space in place of uncharted territory, but you know you should do it.
49:18You could fill it. Right? And then you go against it.
49:23And all it does is make the route a lot longer. That's all it does.
49:30Making promises to yourself that you don't keep. It's saying I'm going to do this and not doing it. Because then what happens after that is the self talk.
49:38Self talk that you create by not upholding the obligations that you make to yourself is ultimately the most destructive thing that you could ever do to yourself. I'm gonna start on Monday. I'm gonna start on Monday.
49:49I'm gonna start on Monday. I'm gonna start on Monday.
49:53I'm gonna start I'm gonna start after the wedding. I'm gonna start after the after this trip, after summer, after this next holiday, after after the holidays, I'm gonna start. Sound familiar?
50:03Yeah. That's why you feel like because you know that you can do none of that shit and told yourself you should have done.
50:10I was that guy. I found everything I did the first time. I was those who are coming back even harder after I failed.
50:20Success in the straight line is a maze. And when you think you figure that maze out, you hit a wall and you got to fuck around, start again.
50:32Stay hard.
50:37Take ownership for your life. Nobody can live your dream for you but you. Nobody's gonna take care of your business like you.
50:45Stop coming up with excuses. Don't give yourself permission to continue to live a small life. You can't fit a big dream into a small life.
50:57Give yourself permission to go for it, to test yourself, to challenge yourself, to live full.
51:07Everybody talk about how great they wanna be until adversity and opposition hits. You judge the true character and caliber of a person by where they stand in times of challenge and opposition.
51:19Things that are robust, that are strong, that are tough, that can take just a lot of abuse before they break, they are still ultimately defined by their breaking point.
51:28Something that is anti fragile on the other hand is something that the more you attack it, the more it is pounded on, the stronger it gets. We're tied to something that is truly anti fragile. That the more somebody comes after it, the more robust it becomes.
51:45Being a learner is that answer. Because when it got hard or when it rained or when you got hungry, whatever your boys wanted to go after club or whatever fuck it was, you did it and you didn't stick through.
51:56And that's it. Our life success comes down to little bitty tiny decisions that we make consistently over and over and over again.
52:05And if you're making consistent decisions to break your momentum over and over and over again, you're fucking having it.
52:26If you can just keep believing when nothing in you is working, when all your external forces have given way, if you can just manage to somehow keep hoping, Just hope.
52:46You ain't even really got to believe.
52:49All you got to do is hope.
52:51Faith is the substance of things hopeful and the evidence of things that I see. You just got to hope.
52:59Sometimes you ain't strong enough to believe, but you can always be strong enough to just hope that I hope God can give me. I hope I make it. So I just wanna tell you, man, that don't let those thoughts that are trying to kill you, kill you.
53:19With those thoughts that telling you're not enough, those thoughts that tell you things won't get better, those thoughts that tell you that you are your mistakes, those thoughts that tell you that you are your past, those thoughts that tell you that you're worthless. Don't let those thoughts kill you. They're lying to you because you're more than that.
53:35You're more than a conqueror. You're more than what you're going through. You do have purpose.
53:39You are awesome. You are talented. You are beautiful.
53:42You are special despite what you've been going through.
53:49Most of us have been conditioned not to to take a risk. People ask me all the time, what does it take to be happy? And I always tell them it's really simple.
53:57One word, progress. Progress equals happiness. If you keep growing, you're gonna feel alive.
54:04And if you keep growing, you're gonna have more to give. And when you're growing and giving is when life is magnificent. You can't be successful if you say one thing and you do another thing.
54:15So I'm here to tell y'all for real. Success number one starts with you. Like for real.
54:19Real success is you say one thing and if you do what you say 70% of the time, you're be average. If you do what you say you're do 80% of the time, you're be real good. And if you do what you say you're gonna do 90% of the time, you're be great.
54:36Because very few people do what they say they're gonna do. It's all good coming off your lips.
54:42When I finally discovered, it's all risky.
54:48The minute you were born it, that risky. If you think trying is risky, wait till they hand you the bill for not trying.
54:57That as you go through the challenges of life, and you look at it and embrace whatever comes to you, don't run from it. Step toward it.
55:06Don't try and duck it like most people do. See, most people want it easy. See, easy come, easy what?
55:14Easy go.
55:19But if you can remain hopeful in spite of all adversity, if you can just go to bed and just wake up tomorrow, every time you wake up, that's a sign from God that he ain't through with you.
55:56I don't know what your future is, but if you're willing to take the harder way, the more complicated one, the one with more failures at first than successes, the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning, more victory, more glory, then you will not regret it.
56:14Whatever you choose for a career path, remember the struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose.
56:26And don't let your mind control you. Control your mind and then you can set it free.
56:40It's not helpful to you to to to be envious. If you know what you want, then you know when you're failing.
56:48If you don't allow yourself to know what you want, you can keep that foggy. If you don't set out the conditions for your success, then you can avoid your responsibility because again, that's not clear. The problem with wanting something is that in all probability, you're going to have to work for it.
57:03You're going to have to make sacrifices and it's certainly possible that you wanna avoid that. Failing to make any of that clear protects you right now, but it's really hard on you over the medium to long term.
57:21How can I wake up early in the morning? Wake up early. How can I work out consistently every day?
57:31Work out consistently every day.
57:35You have control over your mind, you just have to assert it. You have to decide that you are going to be in control, that you are going to do what you want to do.
57:47Laziness doesn't get a vote. Sadness doesn't get a vote.
57:55You go at what you're going to deal with and you deal with the difficult difficulties of it.
58:03When you handle those hard things close at hand, making those hard decision right now that you don't wanna make, learning those things that you don't like to do.
58:19But you know that in order for you to get where you wanna go, this is one of the hoops that you have to flip through. Like you know exactly exactly what you want.
58:29You know exactly when you want it. Listen to me. You know exactly what it tastes like.
58:33You know what it look like. You know what it smells like. Like before you really blow up blow up and you get success, like you literally have it in the palm of your hand without having No.
58:44I'm not. I'm serious, God. You gotta know what it looks like.
58:52Don't ask for security. Ask for adventure.
59:00If you fight with faith, you fight with prayer, eventually you'll realize everything that you went through had a purpose.
59:12You have to learn what do you want in your life.
59:18And it's okay to sit in a room by yourself in a chair and just think about you.
59:31You can set yourself a goal that you can attain and there's not gonna be much glory in it to begin with. Because if you're not in very good shape, the goal that you could attain tomorrow isn't very glorious.
59:42But it it's a hell of a lot better than nothing and it beats the hell out of bitterness and it's way better than blaming someone else. It's way less dangerous and you could do it.
59:54It's one step on a very long journey And so it's it and it starts to compound on
1:00:00So a small step today means puts you in a position to take a slightly bigger step the next day, and then that puts you in a position to take a slightly bigger step the next day. Do that for two or three years, man. You start to strive.
1:00:15Be kind to yourself. You are actually doing the best you can. Don't beat yourself up.
1:00:23Don't drive yourself crazy. You are actually doing the best you can.
1:00:34There is the darkness and the light, my friends, and you have to play in both.
1:00:40Just because you've gone through it doesn't mean that you are it. Something right now you're listening to me and someone is telling you that you should just give in to that temptation. That you should just give in to that problem, that there's no way that you're ever gonna overcome it, that this has been ten years, or twelve years, or fifteen years, or twenty years, or your entire life.
1:01:01But just because it's been your entire life up into this point, doesn't mean that it has to be the rest of your life going forward.
1:01:23That the greatest rewards come not from instant gratification, but from sustained effort and from hard work.
1:01:32There's a lesson that's especially true today in a culture that prizes flash over substance, that tells us that the goal in life is to be entertained.
1:01:45It says, you can be famous just for being famous.
1:01:53But that's not gonna lead to lasting sustained achievement.
1:02:01I cannot guarantee the success. I cannot guarantee ever that anyone is ever going to be successful.
1:02:07But I can
1:02:08guarantee that you're going to struggle. Guarantee. A 100%, nobody avoids it.
1:02:14That's it. Everybody that ever tries to do anything and even most of the people that don't try to do anything are going to struggle profoundly with moving forward.
1:02:26It's just hard like that. And so if you know that the struggle is guaranteed, then you can't allow yourself to waste time to be tormented by the fact that you're not where you wanna be.
1:02:38Make sure you're having fun in the struggle. Figuring out how to struggle well, that's the answer.
1:02:50Winning is not about the trophy and the accolades.
1:02:58It's about the grind. It's about the obstacles. It's about the challenges.
1:03:04It's about the pain that you endure along the way for that thirty seconds of being able to either stand on the platform, acknowledged by individuals that are close to you, but when that happens,
1:03:30your mind has to immediately shift back because now you felt and tasted something that you could only get through winning.
1:03:43Are you willing to do it again?
1:04:10We're all looking for something. We're all looking for hope. Hope you can't just have just because you were born with hope.
1:04:19No. We're born with pain. And in our life, my parents always taught me that we have a choice.
1:04:26Either to be angry for what we don't have or be thankful for what we do have.
1:04:32But a lot of us have scars in our brains about lives, bad childhoods, bad adulthood, whatever going through.
1:04:40Those scars in your brain, we don't talk about. We hide. Scoring is proof that our past is real.
1:04:47But the one thing we do is we've ought to control our lives, and we get off the log. Well, it's time to get back on the log and that haggle scars to find the rest of your life.
1:04:57Sometimes you gotta fight playing the pain.
1:05:08It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
1:05:17The credit belongs to the man who was actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes up short and short time and time again because there's no effort without error and shortcoming.
1:05:33But who does actually strive to do the deed, Who knows great enthusiasm, great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement.
1:05:47Who at the worst if he fails, at least he fails while daring to be great. So that his place shall never be with the cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
1:06:00There's so many times in life you don't wanna be doing what you're doing. You can't just quit. Remember this, it's in the hobby, it's in the joke, it's a lifestyle.
1:06:17Engage.
1:06:22Engage. Weakness is strong.
1:06:26I must be stronger. I must crush it into submission through force of will.
1:06:33So I savage the body. I push and pull and fight against gravity. I fight against fatigue and soreness and the weakness that says give in.
1:06:45I will not give in. I will fight.
1:06:50You gotta rise up. You gotta make your dreams a reality and live a damn masterpiece. You know this.
1:06:56Make a decision. What's the decision? What's the thing you came here for?
1:07:01Now we're at the moment. The clock is ticking. Life can be long.
1:07:06You bury your dreams. You quit this. Life gets long.
1:07:10It's only a thought if you don't take an action. The difference between a thought and a decision is an action. So we know and you know you just decided and you know what it is.
1:07:20You know what it is. A a decision you've made, something you do that you follow-up with the action to make it real.
1:07:47What we don't do is we don't go inside. So literally chewing yourself inside out. Read the book that's in like like we're writing a book every day of our lives, but we never read that book.
1:07:58So what I would challenge this young man or or young woman to do is you have to look inside of yourself to see what you really want. What what are you passionate about? So when I speak I speak from passion.
1:08:10I speak from experience. I I speak from suffering.
1:08:15That the only way I believe, and this is this is my experience in life. The only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey is you have got to suffer to grow.
1:08:27To grow you must suffer.
1:08:32Commitment is staying true to what you said you would do long after the move that you've set it in his life.
1:08:41Commitment is staying true to what you said. You would do long after the mood
1:08:46that you've set it in has left. Like I know when the mood is right, we hype, we we we talking, we high fiving, we talking about what we gonna do, and then we get in that certain moment of adversity, that certain moment of truth and it tests our character. And the thing I love about adversity, adversity introduces you to who you really are as a person.
1:09:05But you can only do that through the struggle of life, and most people avoid the struggle. Most people go through life avoiding pain.
1:09:13And when you go through life like that, something in you dies. Something in you that you never activated lying dormant in there, that you never get a chance to call on because you have not challenged yourself.
1:09:28Somebody said, the land of familiarity belongs to the dead.
1:09:35But sometimes in day to day life, you can lose track of the long term goal. It fades from your vision, it slips from your mind. Wrong.
1:09:49I want that long term goal to be so embedded in my mind that I never lose sight of it ever. And the little tasks and projects and short term goals that you tackle need to lead towards strategic victory, winning the long war.
1:10:08When you get tired, when you get fatigued, when you get down, when you're in a slump, it's your habits, rituals, routines and your standards that carry you through. If you don't have good habits, you don't have good rituals, you don't have good routines, always in your life you will fall down in bad times, in slumps, in fatigue, and in stress.
1:10:26I'm telling you that, look, you can't activate life. You can't begin to experience life in the way you want to experience. You can't have it.
1:10:33You can't be it. You can't do it until you activate it. And to yes.
1:10:37It's all in there. All your gifts, all your talents, all your everything you need to do to be what you've been called to do, what you've been birthed to do. You can't do until you activate it, until you recognize you ladder.
1:10:49Everything about you is great, but the problem is you have consciously chosen to be average.
1:10:57So what you say to your self support, there's no fucking coach, there's no training to keep you going, it's only you. The whole thing is this, Don't say a word.
1:11:06Stay on counter amongst the uncommon people. You're never done. Don't stop when you're tired.
1:11:12Stop when you're done. Stay hard.
1:11:16Once you begin to discover who you are, then you'll really realize how you have been given authority and dominion over everything on the face of the earth, including all the dimensions of your life.
1:11:42In other words, the outcome changes and it's not what we want it to be and it doesn't turn out the way we want it to turn out, do we still value the thing that we once said we value? Is our character still intact? Right?
1:11:54Because we all know it. Character is not something we inherit. Character is something we gotta wake up every single day.
1:11:59We gotta fight and we gotta build it. In the midst of opposition, in the midst of challenges, in the midst of uncertainty.
1:12:07Everyday do something that moves you toward that goal, that keeps that goal alive and insight and in focus. However, small or insignificant that step might seem, take it.
1:12:21Do it. Make it happen. Because that goal isn't going to achieve itself.
1:12:29It is all on you.
1:12:44If you can see it here and you have the courage enough to speak it, it will happen.
1:12:52A lot of times people believe in saying things but they keep to themselves. They don't put it out there. You truly believe in it.
1:13:00If you become vocal with it, you are creating that law of attraction and it will become reality.
1:13:07Because your dreams have to be bigger than all your fears and all your consequences. What makes people go back is you dream too small. See, your problem in life ain't if you aim too high and you miss it.
1:13:19Your problem in life is if you lane aim too low and you hit it. That's you messed up now. So when you aim to the moon and you miss, you're still amongst the stars.
1:13:35You ask your girl, what do you want? Man, I wanna be down to tell me something I don't know. Everybody wants it.
1:13:41But the raw reality of it is everybody don't get it. And the crazy thing is if you want it, you can get it. It's not like somebody is stopping you or holding the gun to your head and telling you, you can't get it.
1:13:52It's a matter of will. It's a matter of hard work. It's a matter of sacrifice.
1:13:55It's a matter of dedication. It's a matter of commitment. And I'm not talking about the commitment that says, yes, I'll show up.
1:14:01Not that commitment. I'm talking about the commitment. I'm a stay true to what I said I would do long after the mood that I set it in has left.
1:14:15Look, guys.
1:14:17This pursuing success, becoming someone who is abnormal, becoming someone who sets the fucking standard for others, becoming someone who shows the rest of the world what is possible is a very difficult path.
1:14:35You are going to have people you are going to have unexpected circumstances arise.
1:14:41You are going to have all these things that you never encountered on come and smack you in the face over and over and over again. This is just part of being on that path.
1:14:57Like, what's the GPS that's on the end of our decisions and our choices? Like, where is it really taking us? Because at the end of the day in life, it's only two things that matter.
1:15:06And it's not about the biggest car, it's not about the biggest house, it's not about the bank account, it's only two things that matter. It's about who we become in life, it's about what we give back to life.
1:15:18Please don't be the people in this world that become a public success, but they're private failures.
1:15:38God has an incredible life for you. All you got to do is ask him for. Be willing to put in the work.
1:15:46But now this work part is hard. Success is hard. But let me ask you a question.
1:15:53Ain't not being successful hard too? So now which hard you want? You want the hard with some options or some benefits, or you want the hard where ain't nothing going on?
1:16:05That's true of your goals and dreams as well. There's an inevit ability to success. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when when we adopt one more, when we adopt compound pounding.
1:16:16Do you know what kind of confidence you begin to have when you just accept in your life that I am going to be relentless. I'm always gonna do extra.
1:16:24And you accept the fact that all things break down over time. All the barriers will go away. All the obstacles will go away.
1:16:32Everything in your way will go away if you keep after it over an extended period of time. Most people overestimate what they can do in a year. They do.
1:16:42They set up goals for a year and they overestimate where they're gonna get to. And they dramatically underestimate what they can do in a decade.
1:16:51You have a power within you as you begin to develop your consciousness, as you hold the vision of what it is that you wanna do, as you decide to answer this small voice within you. Because as you respond to this voice that's telling you you ought to do this, the way will come. Ideas will come to you.
1:17:08You will begin to attract things you need and things that you don't even know that you need right now. You will develop the skills in the process.
1:17:20Every single one of you who are struggling right now, you need to understand this. What you're going through right now, it's necessary because what's happening right now is you are forging the fucking skills.
1:17:37You are forging the determination. You are forging the grit. You are forging the fortitude.
1:17:44You are forging all the fucking things that nobody else is gaining because they're sitting on their hands and you're willing to push through.
1:17:57Bishop, but going I'm it.
1:18:07To
1:18:10outside, stalk on the inside, don't possess do nothing.
1:18:22Most people go through life as volunteer volunteer victims. They go through life volunteering to be victims, giving excuses on why they're not pursuing their greatness, giving excuses on why they're not doing the things that they want to do, putting it off again and again and again, wasting valuable time.
1:18:38Life is very valuable, ladies and gentlemen. Time is very valuable and it's very fragile.
1:18:45You've got to decide to do what you can right now and don't delay.
1:18:50Live your your living your life like a sense of urgency.
1:18:56Everything I've ever been a part of, everything I've ever been connected to, and everything I've aspired to do, everything I've ever wanted to accomplish at a certain point I understood my perspective about it had to be right because my perspective will always affect my performance. How I view what I do will always affect how I do what I do.
1:19:14When you're complaining, you know what you're doing? You're focusing on everything that's wrong in your life. What you focus on, you move towards.
1:19:22Yep. And also what you focus on, you attract. But you complain, you're you're doing you're focusing all the shit in your life.
1:19:28You're complaining. You can take control of your life and be a person that's not a creature of sorts as a creator.
1:19:38Because sure, life is tough, but it gets a lot easier when you're laughing at it.
1:19:46So despite the suffering, in fact, to spite the suffering, to spite the hardship, to spite the challenges, laugh at them all. They can't stand it when you do and they all get easier.
1:20:02Yes. Laugh at them all. Laughter wins.
1:20:23Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Your imagination is the evidence of things not seen.
1:20:37You know why they say it's not seen? Because your imagination, you are the only one who can see it.
1:20:45So you know what that means? All that stuff you've ever imagined is just been God showing you a preview of a coming attraction he has for you.
1:20:56The problem with your imagination is you tell it to the wrong people.
1:21:02The people that are gonna change their life, the people that are gonna recover their health, the people that are gonna build their lives and start all over again from scratch are people who believe it's possible. The people who fail are the people who suffer from possibility blindness.
1:21:20They say the people that are successful in any area of life, you must be willing to do the things today others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have.
1:21:36So I said dominate. So if you think you're gonna dominate in your industry, dominate in this world, and be one of the best of the best at what you do, when I say dominate, I need you to make some noise because I'm talking about you.
1:21:50So everything that you do is habit forming. And that includes hitting the snooze button.
1:22:01That includes sitting on the couch. That includes eating donuts. It's all habit forming.
1:22:08You know what else is? Habit forming? Discipline.
1:22:12Setting the alarm and getting up. Going and working out.
1:22:18That stuff is all habit forming too. I recommend you form some discipline habits.
1:22:27So of course you feel lost. Of course you feel confused. Of course you feel flustering because you haven't been developing any of the skills that are necessary for you to live a true life that you're proud of.
1:22:41How about this?
1:22:43How about you work on developing your discipline machine?
1:22:47And so I want whatever dream you have, I want you to expand it. I want you to increase it.
1:22:53And I wanna warn you, don't ask yourself
1:22:56how you're going to do it. How is none of your business?
1:23:06Godel says that which does not kill you
1:23:08will make you stronger.
1:23:18The greatest gift that you can give yourself is to find something that you're naturally adept at and figure out a way to make a living at it.
1:23:29Because if you do that, every day will be a play day. You're never battling upstream.
1:23:37You love what you do, and if you love what you do if I if you love what you do, why do you wanna stop doing it and then go out and try to find something that you like better?
1:23:48It'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.
1:24:01You will continue to get what you have always got. If you want different results in your life or your worth, all you have to do is change your mind.
1:24:14And in every family, there's a neo. There's eventually shows up in a family and changes the whole family forever.
1:24:21They rise up and they change it all.
1:24:28Rainy, Rainy, fast.
1:24:31Those cats are inside a treadmill. Can't let conditions dictate your outcome.
1:24:35They train whatever conditions they give you because it's too nasty. Don't do the same. Stay home.
1:24:44If you can believe it, you can achieve it.
1:24:47If you can believe it, you can achieve it. This is something that you hear a lot of, and I get it. But guess what?
1:24:53Belief by itself
1:24:56doesn't get you anything.
1:24:59You gotta impose your will, you gotta be disciplined, and you gotta make things happen.
1:25:06And don't worry about fail. You're going to fail. You're going to make some mistakes.
1:25:13You're going to look stupid.
1:25:16Why? It's called life. Make it okay to fail.
1:25:21See, what I found that as the saying goes, most people fail in life not because they aim too high in this. Most people fail in life because they aim too low and hit.
1:25:39You have to be willing to grit it out. You have to be willing to push through discomfort. Nothing that you're about to try or do or achieve that is worthwhile is going to be comfortable for you during the process of creating So stop with this fucking hope shit.
1:25:58Stop with this I wish when it comes to your own life and start replacing those terms with I will fucking do no matter what.
1:26:15Life is a fight for territory.
1:26:21And once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don't want will automatically take over.
1:26:29You got to outthink and outwork the competition.
1:26:36You can have, you can be, and you can do whatever you wanna do, but you cannot do it if you're not willing to make the sacrifice. And for those of you who are willing to make the sacrifice, I'm willing to make the sacrifice.
1:26:53That life is short and every second is precious. So put your freaking head down and keep getting after it.
1:27:05The reason most people fail is because they give up what they want most for what they want now.
1:27:23I don't know who needed to hear this, but I gotta tell you, you must be some kind of amazing if you think about all the things that have come up against and you're still here.
1:27:33All the things that tried to stop you from getting to where you are now, to stop you from trying to have confidence to substate, and yet you may.
1:27:44Question. Who are you? Or at least, who could you be?
1:27:50Answer. Part of the eternal force that constantly confronts the terrible unknown voluntarily, and part of the eternal force that faces chaos and turns it into productive order, and all of this being very difficult to understand consciously, but vital to our survival, is transmitted in the form of the stories that we cannot help but attend to.
1:28:12And it is in this manner that we come to apprehend what is of value, what we should aim at, and what we could be.
1:28:21When you're stretching out, when you're taking life by the collar, you're gonna get thrown to the ground again and again and again.
1:28:29But when you have determination and you know that what you're doing is right, it gives you your life, it gives a special meaning and power to you, you will discover some things about yourself that will begin to electrify your personality. You'll begin to discover some things about you that you don't know you got.
1:28:53One of the greatest steps towards success is self confidence, and the greatest builder of self confidence is self esteem. Doing the things you know you should do, so that at the end of the day, you have this great satisfaction.
1:29:08The old prophet said, the sleep of a laboring man is sweet. Not the sleep of a goof off man. Not the sleep of a joker.
1:29:19No. The sleep of one who labors, that's the sleep that's sweet.
1:29:27Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you are nobody. Always feel that you count.
1:29:42Always feel that you have worth. And always feel that your life has ultimate significance.
1:29:56In order to have what you want in life, you must stop staring at the top of that mountain. You must stop creating excuses for why you can't or don't feel like it.
1:30:08And you must put your head down and look at the first step in front of you, and then you must take the action and start walking toward what you want.
1:30:17I don't believe everybody can be the biggest and the fastest and the strongest and the smartest, but I believe you are number one when you get up in the morning and say today, I'm gonna give it my best shot.
1:30:28I believe you're number one when at the end of the day you can honestly look in that mirror and say today, gave it my best shot.
1:30:36Winning is in all of us. We all wanna win, but the path people take to get to winning, everybody wants the end result and they wanna feel the sugar and the the the confetti and all that other stuff.
1:30:53But what you have to endure to win, no one wants to talk about.
1:30:58The reasons have power. Your reasons will drive you. When you have doubt, when your faith becomes weak, your reasons will fortify your faith.
1:31:09When you have an inner conversation, say no, don't do that. Your reasons will become your rod and your staff to comfort you, to take you through those challenging moments.
1:31:22So boy, don't you stop now. Don't you sit down on the steps because you find this kind of hard, but I'm still going, boy. I'm still climbing.
1:31:34And life for me ain't been no crystal stair. Well, life for none of us has been a crystal stair, but we must keep moving.
1:31:45We must keep going.
1:31:49You have to lose your fear of failure. Failure is a part of the process. People who never fail never try.
1:31:57You have to fail. You gotta get it wrong to get it right.
1:32:07Moments away from beginning your journey through life, moments away from starting to change the world for the better, it will not be easy. Start each day with a task completed.
1:32:18Find someone to help you through life. Respect everyone. Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often.
1:32:25But if you take some risks, step up on the times you're the toughest.
1:32:33Every man has two lies, and the second starts when he realizes he has just one. It's like a happy person wants 10,000 things. A sick person just wants one thing.
1:32:44It's your unlimited desires that are clouding your peace, your happiness. Every desire you have is an access where you will suffer. So just don't focus on more than one desire at a time.
1:32:54The universe is rigged in such a way that if you just want one thing and you focus on that, you'll get it. But everything else, you gotta let go.
1:33:03Life and ambition and the need to know what we're doing and to always have a clear delineated path and to always be a 100% certain on what we're doing and why we're doing it is not true and that's not necessary at all.
1:33:19What's important is that you're present with what you got right now, what you're doing right now, and you do it for the sake of doing it in this moment and you don't think about the future because there is no future and you don't know how things are going to unfold.
1:33:34Ladies and gentlemen, go into action with your dream and don't avoid where the fights are.
1:33:40Get in the midst of the fight. Get knocked down so you can learn how to fight so you can hold your position. See, most people don't get out in the arena of life because they don't wanna fight.
1:33:55Most people don't get out there because they don't wanna get knocked down. They don't wanna be dropped to their knees. But see, you're gonna be dropped whether you're on the field or whether or you're sitting on the sideline.
1:34:13What you are looking for, what you need is self discipline. Self discipline as the very name implies comes from the self, you.
1:34:28It comes when you make a decision to be disciplined.
1:34:34When you make a decision to be better. When you make a decision to do more and be more.
1:34:43It's like discipline yourself in one dimension and see what happens. Well, that's exciting.
1:34:53The best we have might not always work,
1:34:58but it's still the best we have.
1:35:02And the fact that it might not work doesn't mean we should throw it away.
1:35:08It's still the best we have.
1:35:10I mean, everyone dies and so we fail in some sense.
1:35:17The fact that the symphony ends doesn't mean that it wasn't worth listening to.
1:35:28No one's coming back to help me. So it starts with that person in that mirror. You have to realize you are on your own now.
1:35:37On earth, it's a very lonely journey. It starts with the accountability mirror looking at saying, hey, my dad who beat the hell, he's not coming back. All these things are coming back.
1:35:47I have to face myself. And you have to own all those things that people may have done to you.
1:35:53Now it's yours. You gotta own it. It's yours now to fix the problems that people did to you.
1:35:59It makes no sense. It's not fair. I get it.
1:36:03But if you live in that what was me mentality of guess what? My dad did this to me.
1:36:08My mom did this to me. People who did this to me. You're gonna always live right there.
1:36:20Motivation is very ungrounded. It's all up here. Woah.
1:36:24I feel good. When it comes time to bring it into practice, you cannot rely on it.
1:36:31Motivation is just a feeling. Grounded action is what gets things done.
1:36:37When you have built a habit, it's ingrained in your nervous system in such a way that the brain doesn't even have to consider whether or not it will get done. It just gets done. Commit once.
1:36:50You don't need to commit more than once. You commit once to the thing that you're going to do and then you do it every single day. It's not the grand visions.
1:37:00It's the tiny actions that move towards a worthy ideal.
1:37:14What makes it hard is your lack of belief that it can happen for you. The fact of it is though, it's very doable. See, if but you gotta change though, if you keep doing what you've been doing, you're gonna keep getting what you've been getting.
1:37:35Nobody's journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks.
1:37:40If things go wrong, you hit a dead end as you will. It's just life's way of saying time to change course.
1:37:51Every failure, every crisis, every difficult time I say, what is this here to teach me? And what I found is that difficulties come when you don't pay attention to life's whisper because life always whispers to you first first.
1:38:10And if you ignore the whisper, sooner or later you'll get a scream. Whatever you resist persists, but if you ask the right question, not why is this happening, but what is this here to teach me?
1:38:23What is this here to teach me?
1:38:27It puts you in the place and space to get the lesson you need.
1:38:34So if you're at a place in your life and you ain't happy with it, you have to change something.
1:38:46There is nothing that's ever good enough. The only thing that's enough is at the end of the day, the end hour, the final hour, you're fucking going for it, that your hand is raised victoriously. That's when you know it's enough.
1:39:01And it will never go your way, guys, if you're saying today is good enough. If you never say good enough today, I promise you tomorrow will always be enough.
1:39:14Whenever good enough isn't enough, you can bet tomorrow you'll have enough.
1:39:22The way it is for you is blood, sweat, and tears today to create a foundation of strength for tomorrow.
1:39:35Those days combined into whatever treatment you want to be a reality.
1:39:46There's a quote from Victor Frankl that says, when a man can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.
1:39:53What is your definition of all it? Everyone likes to talk about early mornings, late nights, hard work.
1:40:01That's not all in. Everybody in this room is a hard worker. Everybody in this room is talented.
1:40:07Talent is a gift. It's not a promise. Everybody in here is putting in long hours.
1:40:11It's the other things that you do beyond all in. If you want your day to feel easy, do the most difficult thing that you least want to do first.
1:40:22If you just do the things you do not wanna do, you will have everything you have ever wanted.
1:40:28I need you to go to the next level. I need you to elevate. I need you to dominate.
1:40:32I need you to win. I need you to be that woman to be that man. I need you to be him.
1:40:38I need you to be her. I need you to be that. And you know why you do that?
1:40:42Because you got to lead.
1:40:44If you do not have the ability to resist, to manage, to overcome doubts, to overcome worries, to overcome concerns, and whatever circumstance that prevents you from succeeding.
1:40:58This is not the year to talk about your problems. This is the year to solve your problems.
1:41:05Decide who you wanna become. You know, you can't drift into a new life. You can't back into it.
1:41:11You need to design your new life. Envision a version of yourself that you respect, that you really wanna become and be specific.
1:41:19Build a life that a man or a woman would really want to live.
1:41:24You have to make a decision with such firm intention that the amplitude of that decision carries a level of energy that's greater than the hardwired programs in your brain and the emotional addictions in your body, and your body has to respond to a new mind.
1:41:40So then you make a choice and that choice becomes an experience that you never forget and the hair on the back of your neck stands up. Your body is responding to a new mind, but you can't do it being your normal self. It requires a level of energy that is the epiphenomenon of matter.
1:41:56And when you change your energy, you change your life.
1:42:00I think that there are many ways how you can, let's say, motivate yourself to walk this path.
1:42:08So why would I face the dark side of myself knowing already that it's gotta be painful. Why would I do that?
1:42:17You have to accept what has happened. You need to accept reality.
1:42:22It's one thing to accept the fact life isn't fair, this is cool, I don't deserve this. It's a whole another ballgame to accept that this is what has happened and it's not changing.
1:42:36Same is life. Every time you face a challenge that was really, really difficult for you, but you still push it through somehow. You still, like, were patient and persevered and were consistent and still tried.
1:42:50And this type of challenge, for me, was a was a way bigger victory than anything that was easily attained.
1:42:58That mean everything you got inside of you, everything is truly equipped with that that you got what it takes to make it through the battle, through the storm, to the next level.
1:43:13Let me tell you what, faith and worry don't get along. They don't coincide. They ain't dogs.
1:43:18Ain't homies. They ain't brothers. They ain't friends.
1:43:20They can't cohabitate. You got to believe. That means you got to have faith.
1:43:30We must suffer. We must suffer.
1:43:39And you can run from it all you want.
1:43:42Once you come face to face with who you are, you have a starting point.
1:43:47The longer you hold on to this wish, the longer you prolong your own suffering. I mean, most of human suffering, our internal pain, our anguish, it comes from the desire to have things be different than how they are.
1:44:00You know, there's one quote I love from the poet Rumi. Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you.
1:44:14So literally saying, nothing sustainable and worse while in this lifetime comes from something that's easily attained.
1:44:25Facing yourself, face your shadow, face the dark side, look at your demons.
1:44:33Your lack of commitment is almost an insult to the people who believe you. And that's what I'm trying to tell myself.
1:44:38I said, there's people in there's people who believe in me. So this is I'm telling myself right now today. There's people that believe in me and and me having this half commitment.
1:44:47It's it's it's not it's not what the fuck I am. It's not what my people. It's not what everybody who believe in me deserve, and I wanna, you know, I wanna I wanna give back from people who believe in me, and
1:44:58everything's in arm's reach. You just have to work to get there. There there is no easy road to what you want.
1:45:05It's a long road. Everybody that wants to do something doesn't understand the steps that you have to take to get there.
1:45:12It's not just an entertainment. It's in all aspects of life, man. And that's what I learned at a young man.
1:45:18No matter what, you can't escape work. You can't.
1:45:23To truly change is to think greater than your environment. And every great person in history knew this. Whether it was William Wallace or Mahatma Gandhi or Martin Luther King or Queen Elizabeth the first or Joan of Arc, they all had a vision.
1:45:38They all had an idea, couldn't see it, couldn't smell it, couldn't taste it, couldn't feel it, but it was alive in their mind. It was so alive in their mind that they began to live as if that reality was actually happening now.
1:45:53So can you believe in a future that you can't see or experience with your senses yet, but you've thought about enough times in your mind that your brain is literally changed to look like the event has already happened.
1:46:09Take all of the things that you gotta do in a particular day and rank order them from the things that you wanna do the least to the things you want to do the most. And I guarantee one of the big reasons why you never get anything done is because you do the opposite. You start your day off doing all the things that you want to do and then you dread the rest of the day and chances are you probably just end up skipping.
1:46:29But if you say, hey, let me start my day off by doing all these things that I don't wanna do, by the time you're done with it, you're only left with all the things that you're looking forward to. So now you're proud of yourself because you did something difficult that was uncomfortable that you didn't wanna do. And now you're excited because you get to enjoy the rest of your day.
1:46:45And they say you can't have your cake and eat it too. How does suffering,
1:46:49how does hardship, how does pain give me purpose? The process of struggle and the one who bears it is a process of development, development, of strengthening, of learning, of readjusting.
1:47:03But not just to anything, my friend. You are moving towards
1:47:09taking steps closer to embodying what you truly are. You know what's crazy? You know you can be the one if you really wanted to.
1:47:15Right? You know that. Right?
1:47:17But see, you keep playing the what if game. What if it don't work out this? What if it don't work out that?
1:47:21What if it do work out? Then what? You're gonna be happy.
1:47:24Right? You can't say you wanna win, but then you scared to lose. What kind of sense does that make?
1:47:27If you put your head down and lock in on the vision, how could you not win? Only thing that's gonna cause you to lose is your mentality.
1:47:37But that's between you and you though.
1:47:49The person you can control. People are not who you want them to be. Kill your idols.
1:48:01Sure, there are things we can learn from people, but people aren't going to be what you think they are, what they should be.
1:48:15Because you can't control other people. You can't make them what you want them to be.
1:48:24You can't make them who you want them to be. The only person you can control is you.
1:48:34So focus on making yourself who you want to be.
1:48:43You guys need to understand what you don't have to do. Alright? You don't have to you don't have to work hard.
1:48:47You don't have to eat right. You don't have to sleep right. You don't have to do more than what's required of you.
1:48:51You don't have to be a good teammate. You don't have to be a good leader. You don't have to do anything that you don't wanna do.
1:48:58But you also don't have to win. You don't have to you don't have to be a success in life.
1:49:05So the greatest things in life takes sacrifice and discipline. And that's why so few people achieve great things because they don't wanna sacrifice. They don't wanna discipline for some greater.
1:49:17So you see all these people that have great things in life that you look up to? It's because they were sacrificed and disciplined long before you ever knew them.
1:49:25That's the truth. So don't get mad later when you create your whole storm and then it starts raining on you.
1:49:36Surround yourself with dreamers and doers, the believers and thinkers. But most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within people when they don't see it in themselves.
1:49:49Nothing in life is promised except death. If you had the opportunity to play this game of life, you need to appreciate every moment.
1:49:58A lot of people don't appreciate their moment until it's past.
1:50:13Discipline your body. Free your mind. Get up early and go.
1:50:20Get after it and you will become the person you wanna be. And you become that person through one small decision at a time.
1:50:40If the game of break go against you, don't let up, put on more steam. If the game of break goes against you, don't let up put on more steam. In life with your goals, dreams, your aspirations, the things that you seek to do, the things that you aspire to do, the things that you want to accomplish.
1:50:59Never forget first and foremost how brilliant you are. Never forget the people that played a part in you getting in this position. Never forget what you're made out of.
1:51:07But on the road to success, on the road to accomplishment, on the road to evolving and development, if the game of break goes against you in life, the only favor I ask of you because in life, people don't burn out, people don't quit, and people don't underachieve because of what they do.
1:51:23People burn out, people quit, and people underachieve because life makes them forget why they do it. And so the only favor I ask of you, if the game of break of life go against you, don't let up.
1:51:36Put on more steam.
1:51:39When you are struggling and you start thinking about giving up, I want you to remember, and that is the power of hope.
1:51:51The belief that something better is always possible if you're willing to work for it and fight for it. It is our fundamental belief in the power of hope that has allowed us to rise above the voices of doubt and division, of anger and fear that we have faced in our own lives.
1:52:12Our hope that if we work hard enough and believe in ourselves, then we can be whatever we dream regardless of the limitations that others may place on us.
1:52:24The hope that when people see us for who we truly are, maybe just maybe, they too will be inspired to rise to their best possible selves.
1:52:39Your life is before you. You fill these pages with your hopes, with your passion, with your dreams.
1:52:53You write.
1:52:57You write
1:53:00the greatest story ever told.
1:53:06You can outrun the demons. They always find you. Only way to beat the is looking them out of the eye and make them your bitch.
1:53:18Mind says the only thing that gets you through hard times.
1:53:24When you make the decision to do what you wanna do with your life, just know this, because the family and the friends in your life do not share your vision.
1:53:37But know this, only those that can see the invisible can do the impossible.
1:53:52When it all boils down to what it is, mano y mano. And if you ain't got more heart than me, if you ain't been working harder than me, if you ain't sacrifice more than me, I'm a destroy you and I'm not retreating.
1:54:09I'm not running. I don't care what they say on paper. We live by this and we die by this.
1:54:14We don't retreat. We don't run. Every man must search his own soul.
1:54:19You don't judge a person by where they stand in times of comfort and convenience. You judge them by where they stand in times of challenge and controversy. And if you ain't work like when you work for something, it give you a different type of attachment to it.
1:54:30The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. That's why cats can give up so easy. They ain't got nothing invested.
1:54:36And would a cat been sacrifice for some or you're have a cold day in hell before you take it from them.
1:54:53So tonight, the question I ask you is what things in your life are you gonna give a funeral to? What things in your life have to die? What things in your life have been keeping you from seeing the greatest version of yourself?
1:55:06Have been keeping you from knowing your worth? Have been keeping you from seeing how special you are?
1:55:12Have been keeping you to live in depression? Have been keeping you to live in pain? What things are you allowing to live in your life that need to be dead?
1:55:22Because the truth of the matter is, and I'm not trying to put fear in your heart, I'm putting reality on your mind. The truth of the matter is we're all gonna die.
1:55:35But the truth of that is, now all of us are gonna live.
1:55:44It might be April where you are, and you're expecting nice weathers plus 20 degrees.
1:55:51So you might be somewhere where it's too good hot. So you might have sore legs, sore back, sore shoulder.
1:56:02So the struggle is real. It never gets any easier.
1:56:08You gotta get harder. No one cares what you did yesterday. The only man should do it today.
1:56:14I'm a cheerleader for those who wanna be better, not for those who wanna stay the same.
1:56:24But we're so stuck in this comfort zone, and the comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever goes there. We're so stuck where it's convenient. We're so stuck in this ritual where it feels good, and so if God tries to shake us up a little bit, the problem always happens before the miracle.
1:56:41The lessons always come before the blessings.
1:56:47How bad do you want your goal right now? I think there's a lot of people in the world today because it's really niche thing to talk about. I want this.
1:56:53This is my outcome. This is my goal. Like how bad you want?
1:56:56You want as bad as breathing? Do you want it as bad as anything you ever wanted in your life? And if you calibrate it at the highest enough levels, what I found is the people that are the hungriest, they find a way.
1:57:08You choose to stay comfort. You choose comfort. You choose to stay comfortable.
1:57:13You choose to stay in a place that you know your life shouldn't be at anymore. Some of us we've been living in the same place for the last decade, for the last fifteen years, for the last five years. And we've been keeping ourselves in a place that has done no good for our life.
1:57:30Some of us need to give that funeral to the environments in our life. As you know, what you surround your life around is what you will become. And when you go through something, gonna you learn some lessons, but it's not always easy to extract lessons from a bad situation.
1:57:53To me, every day is a beginning. A new day, a new week, a new shot at life. An opportunity to come out of the gate like a man possessed and attack the day without mercy.
1:58:08Today, I'm taking scalps.
1:58:13I'm putting the pressure on. I'm the aggressor. I'm on the attack.
1:58:19And of course, I will get tired. I will get beat up.
1:58:24I'll get knocked down and drained and I will have some bad days, but I will not stop.
1:58:36So when you know why you want something, when it's desperation, the power of being desperate is something that most people avoid.
1:58:44They think desperation is a weakness. And I'm here to tell you, desperation is one of the most powerful emotions you could possibly possess.
1:58:51Because when you're desperate, you find reserves and reservoirs of ideas, talents, and a strength that you don't know you have when you find yourself in a desperate situation.
1:59:07So the number one thing we need more than anything to win is hunger, which comes from a state of desperation. Yet we're constantly trying to comfort ourselves in the real world to avoid the state of being desperate.
1:59:20And so I love the process. I love it. I love working for what I want.
1:59:25I love the sacrifice. I love the dedication. I love the commitment.
1:59:28I love that. Everybody wants the prize. Nobody wants the process.
1:59:31Everybody wants to be a diamond. Nobody is willing to get cut. Everybody wants to go to heaven.
1:59:35Nobody wants to die.
1:59:38And I'm saying to you, whatever you gotta do, do it because if you don't, life is gonna whoop you until you surrender.
1:59:48So if it's hard, then do it hard.
1:59:54These are not tears of sorrow. These are tears of joy because the thing I understand, the only thing I need you to do
2:00:00It's deal with it in the right way. And watch what God not only does in your life, watch what God does in everybody's life that's connected to you.
2:00:11And the thing about every storm, every storm has an expiration date.
2:00:26So when I don't see the point and I feel like my life is being dismantled, could it be that God's preparation comes packaged as pain?
2:00:41And maybe if you could see it that way, it wouldn't take the pain away, but it would give the pain a purpose.
2:00:49If you could see what you've been calling a failure, really wasn't a failure.
2:00:56It was a foundation.
2:01:01You're 25, you could be an idiot. It's no problem. Okay.
2:01:06Well, now you're the same person at 30. It's like people aren't so thrilled about you at that point. It's like what the hell have you been doing for the last ten years?
2:01:14Well, I'm just as clueless as I was when I was 22. Yeah. But you're not 22.
2:01:19You're an old infant. Right? And that's an ugly thing, an old infant.
2:01:25So the the reason part of the reason you choose your damn sacrifice because the sacrifice is inevitable, but at least you get to choose.
2:01:38Part of the proper path of development in the last half of life was to rediscover the child that you left behind as you were apprenticing. And so then you get to be something and regain that potential at the same time.
2:01:56Make a decision. Because if you don't decide, well, you know, life decides for you.
2:02:11Indecision is still a decision.

Do the hard thing first (rank-ordered tasks)
- List the day's tasks
- Rank them from least-wanted to most-wanted
- Do the least-wanted first
- Coast the rest of the day on the things you look forward to
Rank your tasks from the ones you want to do least to the ones you want to do most, and start with the least. By the time the dreaded work is done, only the enjoyable work remains, so you finish proud and end the day energized instead of avoidant.
