You can read the quote once more. Is that when it feels scary to jump, Ian, that is exactly when you jump. Opportunity comes. You can either take it or remain scared of it. You know how to do it. You know exactly how to be you or how to be me. You don't want to do it. I'd rather be a failure than a coward. So no matter how you feel, get up and do what you're supposed to do.

Do! Oh, do not. There is no try. All of y'all got this wonderful guilt, but you gotta use it. The hero is the person who confronts horrible, chaotic potential and tames it and makes something of it.

Best way to contend with problems, with issues, with adversity is action. You gotta take everything and throw it away. You have to believe in one thing, and that is yourself. It's only one point. person, it hurts when you say you're going to do something that you don't come through, and that's your willpower. Take your seed, take your gift, get away from these people that's in your life that ain't doing nothing.

The worst prison in the world is having the talented intelligence to achieve something great, but lacking the courage to go out and do it. Otherwise, you end up staying in the same place your whole life, and that I can't do. Now is the only time that action can occur. The present moment is the only time in which we can do anything. So if not now, when? If I want to do something, now is the perfect time to do it because it's literally the only time anything can be done. That the biggest cost in life isn't a failed experiment, being wrong about a decision.

It is the nine months, the 10 years, the 15 years you waste, deciding whether to make the decision. But I'm listening to people, so many people want to tell me their old story. I used to be this, I used to do that, we were this, I want to know where you're going. What's the new story? What's the new character?

Quit telling me about the old character and the old chapters and the old versions of you. Who's the new character? And at any time in our life, honestly, we walk out this door. We can decide to be a new character. We can literally step into a new role. We can be a little more confident, a little bit more bold, a little bit more aggressive, a little bit more caring. I'm a normal person from a normal family, from a normal home in a normal area, just like you guys. Listen, sometimes normal people can do extraordinary things.

And I'm just true for me. Right now, for you to find greatness in yourself, you're not going to find it by looking in a book, or by even hearing me. I may give you the spark, but you've got to go inside yourself to find it. But the problem is, is that you have to face what you don't want to face in order to fix it.

And that's what I ask you. Where have you been? Where have you been up to this point? You look at your life. You look at what you produce. Is it giving you what you want? what you want are you living on purpose are you living your dream are you acting on your ideas are you doing all you can do have you gotten comfortable are you procrastinating are you invading your own greatness is your life an adventure or is it boring where have you been there are a few that are part of a rare

i'm talking about something so rare that it involves us how is it that some people have a resiliency and a power within them that is uncommon and so unique so powerful that it stands up in the midst of a life that everyone else would have simply laid down in how do you find those heroes those gladiators you find them within you look within yourself and you realize that if someone else can do it so can i the circumstances around them may be different than yours but you are no less than what they are They breathe, you breathe, they walk, you walk, they move, you move. If they can do it, you can do it. But you've got to believe that there's something in you just as powerful as what you see in them.

You know that you're the thing that can transcend your problems, most fundamentally. If you know you're the thing that if it faces the problems, can transcend them, then you have the faith that would enable you to take stock of who you are. Greatness is whatever the hell you've dreamed of in your own mind. You gotta first see it. You gotta first create this vision in your mind and it's not external. It's the the business created is inside of you. You see there are some people who are the heroes heroes. They are the veterans veteran.

They are the kings of resiliency because they refuse to be a peasant in life. You have that same gene, that same DNA. You were born with a title called human. called human. And the experience that you go through as a human is not to humiliate you, but to reveal that there's a scope of greatness within you. You may start off the child of a peasant, but you can end up the leader of a generation of greats. It's up to you what you choose to be. Take the seed of greatness, plant it deep, and then make sure you grow so large that it covers the family tree forever.

99% of people in the world are convinced that they are incapable of achieving great things so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for realistic goals, paradoxically making them the most time and energy consuming. If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think. Consistency is absolutely critical. You can have all of the the others, but if you're inconsistent, it's going to really hurt you. Consistency means that dependable, steady, predictable work is always vastly superior to spurts

or flashes of brilliance and genius. That the person who is like the tortoise, who just plods steadily away, old steady Eddie is always the person who tends to be more successful than the one who flashes here and flashes there but cannot be counted on over the long term. Just keep stacking days. Just keep stacking days. As long as you keep stacking days, I promise you, I promise you, you will see the change, but my coach is to always say everything that you want is on the other side of heart.

Well, it happens small until it happens big. The reinvention occurs in the micro actions that you're taking every single day. The tiny little things that perhaps no one even notices that are creating muscle memory around new behaviors, that perhaps are very uncomfortable to you. Tiny little things repeated over time is what produces dramatic change. And it's like this curve, you know, it's like this very slow curve until it hasomatotes up.

And everyone wants to talk about the pivot moment when it goes skyward, but the truth is the real work is in the drudgery and the difficult, anonymous work of shoveling shit every single day. It's crazy how large the you perceived monsters can appear. Fear is a mile wide and an inch deep. And so you look at it and it looks like this ocean and then you take the first step and you realize you don't drown. It's like, oh, there's ground underneath of this, right? There's other people who are more on my path.

And the friends you lose, you gain new friends. I would encourage you if you do feel that, you're not going to die. Like, you won't die and you might just live. Not all is it possible for you to have your dream, but it's you. The major key to your reaching your dream, your living up to your greatness, you're making your contribution is you. But the major key to your making things happen in your life is you. Let me tell you something. What people think about you and the possibilities for your dream is none of your business. We are all great.

We all have greatness. just you got to find the courage you got to find the courage to put your bow's headphones on and silence the noise out of this world and to find it and and that's what's all about
