Starting point is 00:00:00 You're not supposed to recognize yourself forever. The whole point of growth is to transform. It's to look back and say, that old version of me had to die for this version of me to live. Don't fear that evolution. Embrace it. You have a decision to make,
Starting point is 00:00:26 and this decision is the most important decision that you will ever make in your life. There will be a point within the process of pursuing what is virtuous amongst the struggle and the chaos and the discomfort or you are tempted with something else that will alleviate that pain, that struggle, that discomfort.
Starting point is 00:00:54 But if you continue to prove to yourself that you want temptation more than what is virtuous, then you will live in a constant cycle of temptation of weakness, of stagnation, of vulnerability to evil. And where does that get you? 75% of you is still fucking in there. Still chained up because you just didn't want to find your willpower. Didn't want to find your soul, your will, your heart, your determination, your guts, your courage.
Starting point is 00:01:32 So many people die, live 100 years, never fucking know who they are. Never know who they are. You have to look in that mirror and know there's so much more in here, man. You won't ever regret giving more, trying harder, because it's in doing more where more is earned. Regret lives in hesitation in what could have been. An effort never betrays you. Sometimes the delay is the blessing. Because if you got what you wanted, when you wanted it, it might have destroyed you. There's wisdom in waiting. The unseen work and the habits and the heartbreaks
Starting point is 00:02:19 and the constant silent battles that you face. That's the part that God is using to prepare you for what's next. Think of every delay as a divine edit. It's him saying, not yet. You're not ready, but you will be. So stop rushing the process that's protecting you. You're not being denied. You're being developed.
Starting point is 00:02:58 You've all heard it. It's always darkest before the dawn. You have to push through the hard to get to the place you're trying to get to. You have to understand you are on your own unique journey and your truth is going to be unique to you. So as you go down that journey of trying to be authentically who you were made to be and find your truth, there's going to be so many people that do not agree or do not align with that path. Here's what I know. I know that until you make a decision
Starting point is 00:03:30 that you no longer want to feel how you feel, or you no longer want to think the way that you think, or you no longer want to have the kind of results or no results that you have, until you make that decision that, you know what, I know I don't feel great, I know I doubt myself, I know I've had a lot of bad things happen. I know there's a lot that I regret, but damn it,
Starting point is 00:03:51 you've got to start with wanting something better for yourself. And then I personally think the most important thing is to start acting like the person who has the things that you want right now, even though you don't feel like it. The reason why a lot of people won't become who they want is because they're too attached to who they've been. So I was willing to let go of
Starting point is 00:04:21 everything and everybody see another reason why people won't get there is because the doorway is for you to fit through you're trying to carry everybody else through because you're trying to be rescue 911 and you got to rescue you first I have some lumps and you're gonna have some downs but during those down moments that's where the growth takes place that's where the work is You may have a lack of confidence because you just haven't been showing up for yourself. Your words have no meaning. We don't have to stay in the past.
Starting point is 00:05:13 We don't even have to go too far into the future or not mind. We come back to this present moment. We say, you know what, my presence is perfection and my presence has purpose. And yeah, I haven't been showing up for myself. Yeah, there's been a lack of accountability. But you know what? I have another step. I have another breath.
Starting point is 00:05:31 And then this next step and then this next breath, I make change. The quote goes like this. One day, day one. One day. Or day one. How do you know what you're used to is better than a light that's to come? When life starts changing, when life starts moving, when things start evolving, when people start changing, when you start growing.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Oftentimes, if we've had a set of great experiences in our past, when it says, how do you know the light that you're, are used to, it's better than the light that's to come. And so when you think about the light that's to come, new normal, right? A transition, having to pivot, having to make different decisions, having to make a new career choice, having to close the door in a chapter on another career. How do you know the light that you're used to is better than the light that's to come, right? Embrace it.
Starting point is 00:06:31 It goes together. One is glorious. One is rich, right? It goes together, man. And when you feel the highest pressure, the highest stress, and the highest anxiety, when you're in the pursuit of something greater, it's a good indication that you're actually on the right path. It's a position that you want to actually be in because once you push through this time of extreme stress, pressure, and anxiety, on the other side is the promised land that you've been looking for. The biggest mistake a person can do right now, no matter in which. situation you are is to give up. You might not reach the best, best version of yourself in this
Starting point is 00:07:18 lifetime, but the better one than you are right now. I have got to decide what it is that you want the future to look like. And the more specific and the more clear you are, the more likely it's going to happen. The more you understand of what that moment is that you're trying to create and why you're trying to create it and then you now can build the plan and the strategy to get there now you look at that end and the result and what you wanted to be and how you're going to feel and what it's going to mean to you and you just keep visualizing yourself there the entire step of the way the entire step of the way and and it is going to eventually reveal itself all the way. all the things that you need to do in order to get there.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Self-confidence is self-trust, and it's self-confidence is the process of keeping the promises that you make to yourself. So the way we begin to build our self-confidence up is we start setting promises up with ourselves that we keep. You need to begin to make promises to yourself, set up the game early where you can keep them, stack that stuff and create momentum. And what happens is you will begin to build a reputation with yourself that you can trust you. What does it mean to live an infinite life? Clearly our lives are finite.
Starting point is 00:08:44 We're born, we die, we come, we go. But life is infinite. The game of life will continue with us or without us. Which means every single one of us has a choice. We don't get to choose the nature of the game. Life is infinite. We don't even get to choose if we want to play in the game or night. Once you're born, you're in it.
Starting point is 00:09:05 We get one choice. Do you want to play with a finite mindset? But do you want to play with an infinite? infinite mindset. To play with a finite mindset means waking up every day and say, I'm going to be the best, I'm going to be better than everybody else. And when you die, you take none of it with you. Or we can choose to live our lives with an infinite mindset, which means I'm going to leave this world in better shape than I found it. It means I'm going to devote my life to see that those around me rise. And we know that we're living with an infinite mindset because our obsession is seeing that we have an impact on the lives of the people around us. you messed up but it's not the end of the world that it sings
Starting point is 00:09:53 and it's not the end of the world that those would try to make it sick today's a new day today's a new you and so do not destroy yourself over a man and no longer guests
Starting point is 00:10:11 don't ever be ashamed of anything you've done in your life face it fix it make it better build belief build confidence to the point where nothing can hurt you because you know exactly who you are. You've faced your demons. You were able to hear all your past traumas. I'm no longer embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I'm no longer ashamed. Being ashamed is one of the biggest things that kill people nowadays. Morphati, which means love of fate, and it basically means love everything that happens to you as a way of learning and as a way of toughening yourself. Life involves pain. Life involves loss. The people that you know are going to die,
Starting point is 00:10:53 you're going to get ill, you're going to have terrible things happen to you. People are going to screw you. Bad things are going to happen. That is life. That's what life is about. That's what any animals have to deal with. That's what you have to deal with. If you complain and you wish things were otherwise,
Starting point is 00:11:07 that means that you don't love life. You don't like life. You don't accept it. Be the opposite. Accept everything that happens and find a way to love it and see the purpose behind it. When chosen suffering is going to happen in life,
Starting point is 00:11:19 Your parents are going to pass away, loved ones are going to die, your relationships are going to break down, your body is going to fail you. And the only way that you can prepare yourself for unchosen suffering is with chosen suffering. It all starts with a choice. You're not here by accident. You're here because of the choices you made. Good or bad, they're yours. You can't blame circumstances. You can only own up and be accountable for your actions.
Starting point is 00:11:47 If you don't like where you're at, change it. You chose this. Now choose something better. In life, you can be so gifted, right? And so talented, I want you all to hear this, right? You could be so gifted, so talented. Something can serve as an advantage your whole life. If you don't personally develop, right?
Starting point is 00:12:13 If you don't grow, if you don't evolve, at a certain point in your life, your advantage is going to become your disadvantage. guaranteed that's the importance of hard work that's the importance of dedication that's the importance of commitment this one question will change your entire in life who do I need to become that's the question who do you need to become to become this person to achieve this success to hit this goal that's the only question you need audit who you you are and you gotta ask yourself what do I need to let go of and who do I need to become to become
Starting point is 00:12:56 this person you have to keep growing and evolving and trying to be the best version of yourself and sometimes that's uncomfortable for people to see because they're not doing the same because it makes them feel like you're leaving then you know but that's just their own projections going on to you and you don't need to take that on to yourself because you're growing you're you're on your own journey. You're trying to be a better version of yourself. He says when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too. The pursuit of personal excellence is not a solitary journey. It's a catalyst for transformative change that elevates not just you, but the entire tapestry of your existence. Striving for continual improvement is like planning seeds of
Starting point is 00:13:44 positive change, fostering environments where growth becomes contagious. As we become committed to becoming the best versions of ourselves, the ripple effect extends to the world, creating a cascade of positive influence that is tangible. What makes you uniquely you? You can't be comfortable with yourself if you don't know who yourself is. And you can't know who yourself is if you don't stop looking. and how everybody around you is,
Starting point is 00:14:23 and start looking at what makes you comfortable and what makes you uniquely you. There's roughly close to, I guess, about 8 billion people on this planet, but there's only one you. To look at yourself, you have to focus deeply, you have to go through a process, being honest and going,
Starting point is 00:14:42 what excites me, what do I feel like makes me unique? The power that you have in life is mining that uniqueness, mining that individual quality, in whatever field you go into. And so you can't have that self-awareness if you can't focus, if you can't concentrate, if you can't be bored and take a notebook
Starting point is 00:15:00 and start writing things out about your childhood, about who you are, about what you love and what you hate. If you can't do that, I'm sorry, but there's no hope for you. There's really no hope for you. So you have to be able to put yourself on that information diet and go into that introspective process. You have a choice to make. Do you want to sit down and go back,
Starting point is 00:15:21 to that guy you once were. No. So this is what it takes. Nothing is easy. If a person would sit down and let their body relax, totally relax, and then start to visualize in their mind, see themselves the way they want to see themselves. See how you'd like to live your life. See yourself living it that way.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Now, understand that that's a picture in your mind. And then take that picture and describe it. Write it out. In the present tense, start to read it and read it and read it and read it every day, carry it around and keep reading it. The one point that all the great teachers, all down through history,
Starting point is 00:16:14 have all agreed on, they've been in complete unanimous agreement on it, we become what we think about. Now, it may be fantasy at first. It might even appear to us as being a lie. But if you read it often enough, you'll start to believe it. Art is part about change
Starting point is 00:16:29 is not making the same choice as you did the day before. And the moment you decide to make a different choice, you're going to feel uncomfortable because you're stepping from the known into the unknown. See, you can do anything. You can get up any hour, read any book, take any class, make any change, develop any skill, do any discipline. I mean, you can do it all when this how and the why,
Starting point is 00:16:54 or when the why starts to grow, the how gets simple. Most challenges opposition at Bursi, that we encounter are intern, even though on the surface it looks to be external. Because when you come up against something, whether it be a person, situation, or circumstance, in perception, our perspective will go to a space in place that is external. When the course and the path to victory is interned, meaning we possess everything we need in order to be victorious over the things that we encounter. But we look at problems, situations, circumstances, adversities as
Starting point is 00:17:32 something to be external, when really is something that's internal because we possess everything we already need in order to get through it. There's a peculiar magic in realizing you're not the same person who started the journey. It's not a loss of who you were. Rather, it's an evolution into the person you are always meant to become. Embrace the transformation. Fear is a mile wide and inch deep. And so it looks like this ocean that you're going to step into and drown. But as soon as you step into it, you realize it was not that deep at all and you can keep walking for it.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Face your fears, whatever they are. The fear that we might not do a good job. The fear that it might not turn out as we hope it would. The fears that are lurking there, some that have come and have been there even maybe since our childhood. Life is consisted of both fear and faith.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Faith, of course, is the ability to overcome your fears. But what you have to do in terms of your fears about perhaps your own inadequate, not feeling strong enough at the moment. You just have to face those fears. You just have to go to work on it. The pursuit of your goals will rarely be easy.
Starting point is 00:18:42 You're going to feel discomfort, frustration, and self-doubt most of the time. But instead of getting discouraged, understand that there's growth in the struggle. You can't become someone you've never been by doing the things you've always done. Be proud of the effort you're putting in. Be patient with the results. Because it's only a matter of time before you come up. before you come out on top. It's a part of life.
Starting point is 00:19:06 You know, we were made to evolve and grow, and that means you're going to outgrow people. That means you're going to outgrow situations and places and things, and that is okay. Most people will not understand your obsession, your drive, and your determination. Success is a lonely journey. That's just a reality. And most people are not going to understand why you're so driven,
Starting point is 00:19:29 while you're so obsessed. And if you try and make them understand, you're going to end up frustrated. The best advice I can tell you is, go on the journey by yourself. It is the best journey, man. Leveling up, becoming the best version of yourself
Starting point is 00:19:41 is the most awesomest journey you will ever go on. But it's a journey that you will probably go on by yourself. You'll always have to be the person who roots for you before everyone else does. And it's usually a single clap in the auditorium
Starting point is 00:19:57 for a very long period of time. It is a slow clap. That's just you, rooting for you. Sometimes sitting there thinking about the life that you want to live and the person you want to be and the simply isn't enough. If thinking about all the things that you want in your life isn't enough to get you going, why don't you sit there and think about the things that you don't want, all the feelings you don't want to experience,
Starting point is 00:20:19 all the pain you don't want to feel. If you just can't visualize the bright future ahead of you, why don't you sit there and contemplate all the darkness that you're going to be surrounded by if you don't do what you need to do? like sitting on your deathbed, wishing you could do it all over again differently, but you can't. Wishing you had done what you need to do now when it's too late to do it. Ask yourself the question, what does the future look like if I don't do what I know I need to do? Once you take that first step, you've looked a beast in the face, and you'll start progressing, not linearly, but exponentially in speed.
Starting point is 00:20:55 So what's cool is that it doesn't really matter how small that first step is, because it'll start progressing. start doubling and anything that doubles grows unbelievably quickly and so that's a very useful thing to know too. I think the bigger question is do you know yourself? You know I think like there's unlimited people who are successful and happy they got straight A's and there's unlimited people who are successful and happy who got these and Fs. The question is who are you? Which version of the game are you? What do you like? Who do you want to be? And I think that's what you need to focus on. You cannot wish a strong character and an easy life. Each is the price of the other.
Starting point is 00:21:37 What if what you're going through isn't hard? What if you're just sensitive? At some point, you have to forget what other people think about you. Nothing you do has to make sense to anyone else. Your dreams don't have to align with what others think is best for you, because you're the one who has to live with the consequences of your actions. Start prioritizing your happiness, above being a people pleaser.
Starting point is 00:22:07 It's your turn to be the main character of your story. This is it, man. It's your time. This is your moment. You've been praying for an opportunity. Here it is. You've got to walk into that season of your life. I just hope you ready for it.
Starting point is 00:22:23 The odds of you being on this earth is one and four hundred trillion. So you were chosen to be here. The only difference between you and the person who is going after their purpose is the choice. of being chosen, believing that they are chosen. Those who are great are those who choose to be chosen. Discipline is rooted in the truth we tell ourselves. That's what it is. Discipline is rooted in the truth we tell ourselves. Because if you tell yourself the truth, if you tell yourself the truth, and the truth is, I'm not happy with where I'm at. That's the truth. The truth is, I can do more. The truth is, I can do much better than I'm doing right now.
Starting point is 00:23:06 And if that's the real truth, if that's what you believe, if you believe that to be the truth, you all have to find more discipline, discipline will find you. If you value your goals, you need structure. You need a routine that gives you the best possible chance at achieving them. Whatever it is for you, find a way to start your day. that makes you feel your best. There's a good chance you already know what that is. And it's likely something hard
Starting point is 00:23:38 that you'd rather put off. You will always fall into a routine. You either create one, or it will be handed to you. You choose. You don't have the answers, and it's probably pretty damn scary. And I say that's okay, because that is how it is. This is the reality that many of you are facing. This is the world.
Starting point is 00:24:09 that we live in. In a world filled with noise, your voice, your actions, and your decisions have the power to carve out silence, a silence in which you can find your true self and your path to success. It's easy to get lost in the crowd to follow the well-trodden path. But your journey, it's unique. unique. It's not defined by the cacophony of doubts and fears, but by your ability to rise above it. Embrace the solitude of ambition. Let it be your guide in the chaos. Remember, the tallest trees grow in the deepest silence. Feelings are like waves in the mind and you just want to just be
Starting point is 00:25:04 with them. You want to be in the misery. You want to be in the pain. You want to be in the pain. You want to be and the emotional suffering just be there without any resistance as if you're letting waves just move through and watch it stay with it and they will dissolve like waves dissolving back into the ocean the feelings will dissolve into the mind your gift will make room for you and in time that room will be large enough to stand in and then the room will be filled with people and then the people filled with your light and when they leave they take that light with them. You see, your light, when confined to you, only goes as far as you can travel.
Starting point is 00:25:49 But sharing your light with one other person, two other people, three other people, now that, that might just change the world. You're going, right, where you're destined to go, it's not supposed to feel good all the time. It's not supposed to be easy, you know, so when you're going through scenes of discomfort, seasons of feeling overwhelmed, feeling pulled in a lot of different directions, understand. that it's a part of you getting to the place that you want to be, you getting to the best version of yourself. It's all playing a role.
Starting point is 00:26:23 And you know, like that vision that you have for yourself, you know, the dreams and the aspirations you have for yourself, like, they're not easy to attain. Like some people's expectations, their belief systems are, life should be taking care of me. I gotta show people that life is calling to you, you need to deliver something to life. Because as long as you're waiting for somebody,
Starting point is 00:26:46 somebody take care of you, then you're always the victim. You're always waiting. Whereas if you think that I'm here to deliver something to life, I have a responsibility to life to give something, not just get something. That's when people feel alive because what you get never makes you happy. Don't walk through the world looking for evidence that you don't belong because you will always find it. Don't walk through the world looking for evidence that you're not enough because you'll always find it. Our worth and our belonging are not negotiated with other people. Persevere. Nothing worthwhile is easy. No one of achievement has avoided failure, sometimes catastrophic failures. They keep at it. They learn from mistakes. They don't quit.
Starting point is 00:27:32 You are given a gift, but let me tell you right now, it comes at a cost. Your gift is not free. What's the cost? You have to work for it. You have to work at it. You have to manifest it. You have to grow it. You have to grow it. You have to grow it. You have to. to get better at it. You have to get better at sharing your gift. You have to cultivate your gift so much that you can share it. Your God-given gift doesn't guarantee that you will succeed. It just guarantees you an opportunity. And let me tell you what an opportunity you have. Your potential is like that tree, waiting to rise above the noise, to reach heights unseen. This is your moment. to tumult the distractions, to focus on what truly matters. Your growth, your journey, your impact, your success. Rise above the noise and let your actions declare to the whole world your purpose.
Starting point is 00:28:42 And so what's the point of climbing this mountain that the world says we should climb in order to be successful and happy and realize at the end of a career, at the end of a life, we've climbed the wrong amount. Life is really a single-player game. It's all going on your head. You know, whatever you think you believe will very much shape your reality, both from what risks you take and what actions you perform,
Starting point is 00:29:20 but also just everyday experience of reality. The world just reflects your own feelies back at you. Reality is neutral. Reality has no judgments. To a tree, there's no concept of right or wrong or good or bad. Maybe you don't have the determination to be somebody better than who you are. And if you want to live with that, if you're good with being who you are, that makes you feel good? Nothing I can say to you.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Most people spend their entire lives afraid to even start because they are concerned about what people might think. They tell themselves all these stories. They're going to get laughed at. They're going to get made fun of. People are going to talk. And guess what? They're going to talk it either way. They're going to talk if you go and try and look stupid and fall in your face,
Starting point is 00:30:05 or they're going to talk if you don't try and you become just a loser. So people are going to talk, they're going to laugh, and they're going to do it whether you go down the path or whether you don't. So you have to ask yourself, do you want to go through all that in humiliation and then have something to show for it? Or do you want to go through all that humiliation and actually be what they say you are, which is a loser? Well, the story that we tell ourselves is a byproduct of what happened to us,
Starting point is 00:30:29 what's what people tell us, I guess. So if that's the story, we start piecing together, what? An identity. Oh, well, if that's my story, this must be my identity. Now that I know that's my identity, which, by the way, is a false identity, we go into life looking for evidence to validate that identity, and you will always find what you're looking for. You have to be obsessed with the dream.
Starting point is 00:30:54 There's not wanting it. There's kind of wanting it. There's wanting it real bad. And then there's obsession. I'm obsessed with it. all I think about, it's all I do, it's all I work on every single day. Champions have a clear plan for success and for achieving their goal. It's not just a random occurrence because a lot of becoming a champion is about failure.
Starting point is 00:31:21 What we get to see on TV is the end product of a very long process of ups and down. But that process is a very long and difficult one. Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. Do you know that you were destined for something that your life had a meaning,
Starting point is 00:32:17 a purpose, then you can withstand the traumas, the setbacks, the difficulties, the bulk, criticism, and all the other things. You always have to be the person who roots for you before everyone else does. And it's usually a single clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time. People struggle to do things a lot. And the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means that you are not with other people. And rather than fighting that or bemoaning it, see it as an indicator that you're on the right path.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Because if everyone else were cheering you on, then it means you're not the right place, because it means you're just like everyone else, and that's where you want to be. Feeling sorry for yourself gets you 0% closer to where you want to be. It does not move you even a fraction of a centimeter closer to your goals. You can sit there and feel sorry for yourself, or you can go get a win. You can be pissed off that something didn't go the way you plan. That's totally fine. But the way you respond to it is by saying, you know what?
Starting point is 00:33:27 I'm pissed off that that happened, but I'm going to get closer to my goals anyway. I'm going to do something to move the needle anyway. And you know what? You're going to feel better. You're going to feel way better than if you just sat there feeling sorry for yourself. So if something doesn't go the way you plan, go take action. Go get a win somewhere else. While everyone you don't want to be is sitting there crying about what happened, you're out there already building momentum again.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Life is hard. Everything worth doing is hard. There is no easy path. Everything worthwhile is hard. You're no longer spending energy looking for this easy way. You're no longer being disappointed because the easy way didn't work. There is no easy way. You are going to regret not taking the hard road sooner.
Starting point is 00:34:12 I know you have big ambitions and you want to do these big things and that's great. But all those things that you don't want to do, all that work that you're avoiding is going to be the reason why you don't get there. What you failed to realize is that if you want to realize is that if you want to do, you're going to do, avoid the work, you avoid the result. If you're going to build anything great in your life, it's going to be through fucking force. It's going to be through complete, rigid, dedication, and discipline to move forward. And when the people come and they get in your ear and they say, take it easy, you're working
Starting point is 00:34:41 too hard, you've got to learn to go with the flow. Just know that if you listen to those people, you will be exactly like those people. And every day, the same answer came back to me. Do you want to be on your deathbed knowing that you could, but you didn't? So why do you care about what people are thinking when they're not trying to go where the, you're trying to go? That's going to happen when you get to the end of your life or you get to a time where this is over, you're going to have the greatest poison in your soul.
Starting point is 00:35:15 You know what that is? Regret. I wish I would have did more. I wish I would have been there more. And you will never live in peace by living in regret. So I want to tell all of you, when it comes to success, make sure you make it holistic. I may not know now, but one day I will. You know, and that's what faith is at its core.
Starting point is 00:35:38 I may not understand right now, but I trust that one day I will. And it's not my job to try to understand everything. It's my job to continue to make the next step, continue to just focus on this moment that I have in front of me. Does it matter what mistakes you made? It's about the decisions you make right now. I'm going to win. I'm going to go after everything that I've ever wanted to be, everything I've ever wanted to do,
Starting point is 00:36:06 and I will not allow anybody to say my W-H-E-N-W-W-N-W-W. What I'm looking for is when am I going to W-I-N-W-W-N-W. When am I going to get my second W-I-N-D win? It comes when you decide that it's not a, what I haven't done, it's about what I can be, what I can do. Your past is simply more ammunition for you to get started. You must get excited and not just the false enthusiasm of just pure positive thinking. You've got to get excited over some very basic things. One is get excited over your ability to make yourself do the necessary things because discipline is major step one
Starting point is 00:36:51 toward personal progress. And Anytime a person wishes to, they can make major changes in their life, personally and socially and financially. It doesn't ever have to be the same after today. No telling what you could do today if you really wish to. I want to be the one that says, I'm going to do it anyway. I know I don't feel good today, but I'm going to go out there and I'm going to prove to myself. But even on days that it doesn't feel right, I push myself. The only way to gain confidence in yourself is to build something.
Starting point is 00:37:22 It's not to wait for it to happen. Whenever you think, whenever you think you can't. Confidence comes from the thing that you built. You must build belief. You must build confidence. It can't be like, hey, I'm going to knock that shit out. You got to look over here and say, I can knock shit out. It's belief and it's built on what you put in to yourself.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Get up. Move towards that challenge. whatever that challenge is. Move towards that challenge and go attack it. And you may be successful and you may not be successful but you will be better. And the next challenge, you're gonna be more prepared for. And you're gonna fail and you're gonna fail and you're gonna fail and you're gonna fail and then you're gonna win. I don't accept that fact right now and you just continue to try to do things the easy way when you eventually accept this reality of life, all you're going to be doing is left wondering where would you be today if you had
Starting point is 00:38:40 just taken the hard road sooner? Faith is knowing the doors going to open for your life that don't even exist yet. Faith is knowing that the only impossibilities that exist are the ones you create. I need you to believe with your faith. I need you to know if I'm doing the right things and I'm showing up, if I'm learning to see, I'm taking care of my business, I'm taking care of myself, then at the right time, maybe that's your time. But at the perfect time that's meant for your life, that harvest, that crop,
Starting point is 00:39:05 that dream, that vision, that purpose, that goal, that breakthrough is going to have it. First step before anybody else in the world believes it is you have to believe it. There's no reason to have a plan B because it distracts from plan A. Very simple. This is what I believe and I'm willing to die for it. Here. I mean, there are no manuals, no shortcuts, no secrets. You write your own night.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Daniel, you develop your own shortcuts, you find your own secrets. You go where you're drawn to go, and you learn by doing the work. I mean, if you're scared, if it all seems like too daunting, if the machinery of it all seems too big and scary and overwhelming, it's great. You wake up in the morning and you do it anyway. Don't get better automatically. You only get better because you intentionally make a decision to get better. You have to go from being a person of good intentions
Starting point is 00:40:12 to a person of good actions. That's the great separator. Most important key to achieving great success is to decide upon your goal and then launch. Get started. Take action. Do something. Move.
Starting point is 00:40:33 The act of taking the first step is what separates the losers from the winners or the winners from the losers. there are times in life when you're going through a hard time and you think you're going through a test that's not a test the test is how do you go through the hard time and if it's a test that you are designed to fail how do you handle that failure your story is going to be the greatest story that's ever been told I'm so glad that you got overweight I'm so glad that your mindset's all over the place. I'm so glad you haven't been treating the people that you love the greatest. I'm so glad
Starting point is 00:41:13 you haven't been working your... So I'm glad you haven't changed people's lives or make enough impact yet. I'm glad you got comfortable with complacent because when you change, this story is going to be that great. The understanding that winners write history, which means that no matter how difficult, whatever the season that you're going for is, just win. Like, keep going until you win. And then once you win, you can rewrite whatever history you want. And that has gotten me through those harder periods because I just knew that I needed to get through to the other side. You really want something? You're going to find a way ultimately.
Starting point is 00:42:00 And it might not be today or next year or five years or ten years. But this thing takes priority and precedent over all other things. When you don't want something as much as you think you do, of course. just like you said I don't know I want to live a hard life we all want to make life easy for ourselves for our families for our mothers boom boom that's amazing and the thought of that is amazing is sometimes your desire might not be enough fuel you got to have a strong desire and when you have a strong desire that outweighs all other it won't get harder like this is the hardest part and so if you can just make it through this everything else is downhill it's
Starting point is 00:42:55 not that the things that the dragons you're going to slay aren't going to get bigger. They are. But you become so much more equipped to slay them back. Her hard work is paying off in ways that you can't even see yet. But one day, you'll understand. And just know that even when things felt like they were falling apart, everything was coming together exactly how they should. Don't waste your time. Do you know that everybody alive gets exactly the same amount of time we get all there is. It's what we do with it that makes the difference. Don't waste your life. Set your goals high. Quit thinking about what's wrong. Start thinking what's right. Love a little more, hate a little less. You have no idea what you're
Starting point is 00:43:40 capable of doing. Make up your mind today you're going to figure it out. Think of yesterday like a completed chapter in a book full of lessons. But today, it's a fresh page, offering us a chance to explore new possibilities. It's not just a fleeting moment, it's an opportunity, a gift filled with potential. Imagine it as a canvas waiting for your unique brushstrokes. In each present moment, we have the chance to shape our journey ahead. Only have one chance at this life. You do know that, right? When the credits roll at the end of your movie, at the end of your life, it's just going to say supporting actor number three, and it'll have your name. Don't you want to be the main, Don't you want to be the key character in your life story?
Starting point is 00:44:28 Don't you want to make the best decisions for you because you live within your mind and body and you know what you're called to do. You know what excites you. You know what you passionately get excited for. Until you win, effort always goes and noticed if you get used to it. No one roots for you until everyone roots for you. That's just how it works. The beautiful part about life is in whatever we do
Starting point is 00:45:00 and whatever we seek to accomplish and whatever we pursue. If you've got two competitors, when they first start something, a winner and a loser has the exact same goal when they first started. But somewhere along the journey, the process, something is going to happen that's going to test your level of desire,
Starting point is 00:45:18 that's going to test your level of passion, going to test your words and see how bad you really want what it is that you say you want. If you wish to be successful study success, if you wish to be happy, study happiness. If you wish to be wealthy, study wealth. Don't leave it to chance. Make it a study.
Starting point is 00:45:42 The reality of your life is always now. And I think this is a liberating truth about the nature of the human mind. In fact, I think there's probably nothing more important to understand about your mind than that if you want to be happy in this world. The past is a memory. It's a thought arising in the present. The future is merely anticipated.
Starting point is 00:46:09 It is another thought arising now. What we truly have is this moment. And remember, this journey of life, you only get one round at it. You only get one chance on this planet. And if you are letting the things that happen to you dictate and mold your story, then what you're really doing is you're limiting and creating boundaries of how much you can achieve.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Most people who could exist will never even be born. And you're going to complain about the life you have to do all you can within your power and the power of others who love you to, to maximize all of this.
