Starting point is 00:00:02 We're built for struggle, us human beings. We're built to contend with the world. We're built to contend with reality. You want a challenge. And the best way that you can take on a challenge because a challenge fortifies you. So you don't want to be secure. You want to be strong.

Starting point is 00:00:26 And you get strong by taking on optimal challenges. Life is bounded by mortality. But that doesn't mean that you don't get out there and contend. And you develop by contending. And you minimize the net amount of suffering in the world. And that's something, man. that's something to do. They have a negative attitude where they think that, well, if I don't do anything, if I just be a slacker,

Starting point is 00:00:50 at least I won't fail and I can kind of make myself feel better that I'm the best slacker that there is. You know, if you don't try too hard, you're never going to fail. You're never going to have the pain of failure. So that's the negative side of insecurity. But it can also motivate you to try even harder to actually get work done and to make it something really great and to doubt yourself constantly. The future, we don't know. The past, it's gone.

Starting point is 00:01:21 Now, the only thing you can deal with is what's right here, right now. And if you look, the sand is always moving. The point is this. This is all we've got right here, right now. We don't know how much we have left in the future, but we do know what we've got now. And I have found the people that win are the people who make up their mind. They're not going to waste the minutes.

Starting point is 00:01:43 They're going to be productive. They're going to make it happen. Every minute. No matter how far you get in life, you have to be able to go back to scratch in your mind at a moment's notice. You can never get so far beyond scratch. What that means is when you accomplish something in life, if you want to go back to scratch and visit that place for a long period of time, if you were here, when you went back to scratch, you would now be here.

Starting point is 00:02:15 Scratch is what makes you better. friction obstacles create growth there's no friction when you're this far up in the game anymore so your comfort so now so your discomfort is now very minuscule to your discomfort back here and so you have to go back to the total discomfort to then raise your level of where you're at now in the end it's persistence is more important than anything else I'm having a desire to do something you want to prove something so you have a vision of where you want to go you're willing to persist and overcome. That's probably the key thing. You have to have a vision where you want to go.

Starting point is 00:02:57 You have to persist in it. You have to be willing to overcome failures and not be afraid of making a mistake. When you're down and out, first thing people do is blame it on everybody else but themselves. When you start taking responsibility, you have a little different outlook. More radical than necessary change, the more pain that accompanies it. Like the more opportunity as well. But a lot of what we learn, we learn painfully. And so it's not surprising. that people shrink away from learning. We learn in pain and anxiety very frequently. Everyone knows that.

Starting point is 00:03:35 It's like the things that you really learned in life. It's like there was no joy, man. Like it took you out. And so the fact that people flee from that is hardly surprising. But it doesn't help, that's the thing. It just stores up the catastrophe for later. The better idea is to eat a little poison every day so that you don't have to overdose in a month.

Starting point is 00:03:57 You tend not to learn unless you're forced to learn. unless you're forced to learn. And what you tend to learn by force are difficult lessons. And so people are very prone to not seek that out. It's not surprising. But it's because they don't understand the consequences very well. Any way of forestalling it. All you do is make it worse in the future.

Starting point is 00:04:27 You make yourself smaller and you make the lesson harder. But you have to have a very tragic, I would say, view of reality and also a harsh one because it's not just tragedy it's also malevolence you have to understand that those are waiting for you and that makes you desperate enough to learn and that might be making you desperate enough to fall out of your ideology but that's that's a hard way of looking at the world it beats living through it though you just have to know the first step to take and when you take that step you're going to find that your conditions your circumstances and environment will change, then you see how you have to make the next step.

Starting point is 00:05:30 It's a matter of adapting all the time. You only have to know two things. You have to know where you're going, and you have to know that you're going to get there. You've got to see it in your mind. Now, this is the beautiful scenario. This is what it's all about. Save that in your mind and think of it often. Think.

Starting point is 00:05:48 Every time you think of your goal and you're trying to figure out how you're going to do it, Think of that vertical wall of ice. What's the next step? That's all you really have to know. One step at a time. And you'll get to wherever you're going. You get to choose your life. You get to choose how you feel.

Starting point is 00:06:07 Not other people. There's these illusions in life. We really can't control anything other than our own thoughts, our own behavior, our own patterns. We can't control what other people do, say, or think. It's an opportunity. And the opportunity is on many levels to rethink your life, to rethink your values, to rethink where you're going, to rethink what your career should be, what your relationship to other people should be. It's a way, it's a time to reorient yourself to who you are and what you like and what you know what your goals are and what makes you unique.

Starting point is 00:06:43 If you take that attitude, then the obstacle is the way. If you have that attitude where obstacles are actually the path forward, nothing's going to start. stop you, but it's all how you look at things. It's kind of a mental process that you switch to seeing the positive side. The truth of the matter is that you have a lot of potential as a child, but none of that is capable of manifesting itself as freedom before you become disciplined. And discipline is a matter of the imposition of order, and the order is necessary, especially for people who are hopeless and nihilistic. And lots of people are hopeless and nihilistic.

Starting point is 00:07:20 Way more people than you think. And part of that is because no one's ever really in encourage them. Lay yourself, lay a disciplinary structure on yourself, get the chaos in check, and then you can move towards a state that's freer. It's discipline first. Comes out of that as a much grander freedom. And so virtually every freedom that you have in life that's true freedom is purchased out the price of discipline. Most people half-ass half their life all the time. I knew they were to get tired. They were going to flinch. They were to get down. They quit improving themselves they start sleeping in but keep getting wide i'm gonna stay relentless don't give into the fears don't give into the setbacks you're gonna have failure it's part of the game
