Starting point is 00:00:22 You're richer than you think. It's a lot easier to sit around and make a list of what you're going to do in the future. What's easier? It's easier to take out a pen and a piece of paper and write things down. And so people will substitute that action for the action that will actually change them and make them better and move them closer to that version of who they know they can become. So let's just be careful. Just be careful.

Be careful of that planning phase because the planning phase should be. about three seconds long and then it's time to go get after it make your move before you're ready i'll tell you where big dreams go to die they go to the planning place preparing myself and it's the biggest con job we work on ourselves there are so many bones of big dreams in that great yard where people there's always going to be a set of reasons to wait You want to achieve the highest goal of all time. You are going to have to learn how to get your ass kicked all the way up that damn out.

Starting point is 00:01:49 If I want to be way up here, it's going to take a bunch of small micro failures along the way. But you have to understand that that is part of the process. The reality is when you do things that are easy in life, you don't value them as much. When you do things that are difficult and that require you to dig really deep, then you value them more. It's easy to quit. It's easier to try something that's already been done before. It's harder when you don't know what the end result would be. It's harder when you face the uphill challenge and you deal with it and you face it head on.

Starting point is 00:02:21 It's where you build confidence in yourself. That's where you build your own self-esteem. You know, things are given to you, you never have a sense of how difficult it is to actually earn it. Regret hurts more than discipline. Because when you're disciplined and you act on the things that you're supposed to do, you won't ever have to look back and say, dang, would or could or shoulda. So do it now so you don't have to do it later. The most powerful voice you'll ever hear is the one inside your own head

Starting point is 00:02:55 because that voice is often fueled by fear and insecurity. Your mind can remind you of the past. It can criticize you and make you question yourself worth. But you can change that. Don't be afraid to question the stories you create in your head. focus on what you want and you'll start to see opportunities where obstacles once were. You get up in the world, what are you going to do that? I'm going to win the day. Well, just by saying that you're going to win the day, you ain't going to win the day.

Starting point is 00:03:24 It's a jungle out there. See, most of us, we come out to compete every single day. The jungle comes to win because the jungle is always prepared. You know, the things that you think about all the time, that you don't tell anybody, right? You can do that thing. You actually can achieve it. And you should believe in yourself. You should believe in those things because they're there for a reason.

Starting point is 00:04:02 They're not in your mind. They're not in your heart just to be there. Ever you feel negative or unhappy about anything, you say, wait a minute, I'm responsible. I'm responsible for my life. I'm responsible for what happens. I can't change the past. So I'm not going to spend a second worrying about the past. Your time is limited.

Starting point is 00:04:21 So don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of, of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Starting point is 00:04:43 Everything else is secondary. Your biggest enemy is you. People don't understand is you against you. The only person that gets in your way is you. Nobody else. Thing stuck is a signal that you've stopped growing. And when most people feel stuck, they don't understand that it's tied to a fundamental need for growth. We believe it's an existential crisis and we blow up our lives.

Starting point is 00:05:10 For most human beings, what actually will get you feeling like you're not stuck is having something in the future that you're looking forward to. Learning anything gets you back in touch with a fundamental need. It makes you start to feel like things are moving. And from that place of feeling a little bit more empowered, you'll be able to be. able to make better decisions about what big things need to change in your life. Your current situation is not your final destination. There's more to your life. And I know right now it's hard for you to believe that, but I need you to believe it.

Starting point is 00:05:46 Like everything you're currently facing is building you for something greater. You're more than your struggles, you're more than your pain. I know you feel like nobody understands you, nobody gets you, I know you feel alone and isolated. So I want to tell you, I'm proud of you for not giving up when it's so easy to. I know what darkness looks like. I know what it feels like to be alone with no motivation, no drive, no passion. And what has to come out of your fucking soul in the darkest of times?

Starting point is 00:06:24 But if you are able to get up every morning, have no passion, no drive, no motivation, is still get up with that kind of fire. You will be successful in life. I guarantee you that. The darkest place someone can be is standing still. The darkest place someone can be is when they are alive, but they are not living. The darkest place someone can be is when they are no longer making progress. Everyone talks about the destination, but very few people talk about the journey.

Starting point is 00:07:00 That's where the iron is forged. In the monotony of doing the right thing day in and day out, out, your part of the deal is to keep showing up for yourself, to stick around and see what happens when you really go all in.
