Starting point is 00:00:03 Let people talk about you. It doesn't matter what they say. It's not important. Just focus on yourself. People don't understand what you've been through. If they wanted to, they would. You see, the funny thing is, the narrative will change when you get to where you want to be. But you can't get there if you let the opinions of others affect you.
Starting point is 00:00:24 So just put your head down and do what you've got to do. The rest will take care of itself. Early to bed, early to rise makes a man young, wealthy, and wise. I need you to do me a favor. Do more than just exist. You come from greater stock than just taking of space. Leaving this world better than you found it is your responsibility as a human being. Utilizing the gifts that you were given at birth is how you leave this world better than you found it.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Leaving an impact, a legacy for the next generation to follow. Now let me tell y'all something about dreams. Listen up, because this is something I found out a long time ago that goes against everything you see in a movie on TV. Dreams don't happen. Hey, how it works. See, they come to you in the daylight. You got to be awaiting to run dreams down. See, that chase, that chase, that chase is when we learned the most about ourselves to take that extra step, that extra mile, that extra rap.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Now, look, you don't never know. know how long it's going to take or exactly what it looks like when you get there. The only thing you know is you can never stop. To winning is intentionally putting yourself in uncomfortable situations. Intentionally putting yourself in uncomfortable and difficult situations. Making your mission to become more discipline. Making your mission to become more mentally hardened. If you make one promise to yourself this year, make it this,
Starting point is 00:02:21 that you are going to solve the fundamental problem that has kept you in this place of dissatisfaction for so long. You are going to address the core issue, and the core issue is that you lack the ability to do things when you don't feel like doing them. In the face of adversity, there lies an incredible opportunity for growth. You see, greatness isn't born from comfort and ease. It is carved out of challenges sculpted from setbacks. forget what you've been told about the limits of your potential. Based on where you came from, what's happened to you, the colory of your skin, or the balance in your bank account.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Those are just factors, not predictors. To get through the challenges you'll face in life on your way to success, you have to be a warrior. What's a warrior? It's not someone who just wants to fight all the time. When they lose a job, they believe a better one is on the way. When you lose friends, you automatically believe that better ones are on the way. When everyone stops believing in you, you not only have to believe in yourself, but you have to believe in yourself so much, it overpowers and overweighs all the lack of belief by other people. You say, that's okay. I believe in myself for the both of us.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I believe in myself for all of us. I don't need your belief. When everything falls apart, the warrior believes that everything will be put right back into place. better than ever. Be a warrior. I believe there's some good in every situation that we face. I believe if you train your mind to see the good in the situations that you don't like, that brings you discomfort, that brings you a certain level of opposition,
Starting point is 00:04:08 I believe if you train your mind and see the good in it, it's easy to extract it. Nothing changes and nothing changes, man. You have to change some things, or nothing will change. Because once you change, one thing, your mindset, you can attack everything. I think of Leonardo da Vinci, who had a quote at the end of his life, saying,
Starting point is 00:04:31 after you've worked really hard during the day, you've toiled at something, you go to sleep and you have this great feeling, like you accomplish something. But when you die, do you have that same feeling? Like, I did something, I accomplished something, now I can die in peace. And I think the worst thing is, in life would be to reach the age of 60, 65, and go, God, I could have been so much more. I could have created something. I could have done what I said I was going to do.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I could have written that book, but I didn't. Whatever you're going through won't last forever. As stressful, frustrating, or demotivating as your circumstances might be, they will eventually pass. It's about the incremental steps. We all want that perfect body today. We all want the nice penthouse view, the car, the clothes. We all want that right now.
Starting point is 00:05:23 But between where you are now and where you want to go, there's a whole library of lessons that must be learned. There are lessons that must be learned between where you are and where you need to go. And that is called the process. Ladies and gentlemen, embrace the process. Embrace the hardest parts of this journey.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Because I promise you they're going to keep coming in the future. This is not a one-time thing. They're going to continue to come at you until you learn the lesson you have to learn. And the reward for learning the lesson is one more lesson. Pretty fucking sure you told you, if you were going to start on the first. And I'm pretty sure you told yourself again
Starting point is 00:05:58 you were going to start on the second. When's it going to be? Make the change that you need to make. Become the person you need to become. Now is the time to fix it. So don't wait another day. Don't wait till Monday. Don't wait another year.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Start today. It's okay to walk alone. It might be discouraging sometimes, but letting go of toxic people will be the most liberating thing you can do for your soul. The truth is, Some people just don't want to see you succeed.
Starting point is 00:06:27 They'd rather see you fail because the new version of you makes them uncomfortable. Most of us are only 1 to 10% away from greatness. But we think we're so far away from it that we never try. And once I started going down this journey, I started realizing that and those percent started to add up. And before I knew it, my mind started hardening
Starting point is 00:07:16 and I started passing so many different people that I thought were so much. people that I thought were so far above me and then before I knew it man I became uncommon I'm more still uncommon what if adversity wasn't a problem to you what if wasn't a problem what if it was a privilege if you think back in your life again your biggest growth moments came from your biggest pain moments if you look back in your life you realize man I had a privilege to go through that that adversity Build your purpose. Makes you understanding your purpose more.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Use your childhood as a crutch instead of seeing it as a chisel. I always hear people say my family is so dysfunctional, using it as an excuse or something. But it is not really a valid excuse because everybody family is dysfunctional in some way. There are so many crutches people want to use to justify themselves.
Starting point is 00:08:20 But for me, you have to eliminate every single one of them. Get rid of them all. Then tell yourself it's up to you. What are you going to do now that you let go of all those crutches? And you have to be willing to put yourself in very difficult situations at all times to be able to do that. So my big takeaway of life is if you're constantly taking the easy way out, you're never going to college your mind. And when you're in those points where you want to quit and not quitting and seeing how the mind starts to operate. in those moments of fear, anxiety, self-doubt, insecurities.
Starting point is 00:09:02 And that's where you learn to fix it. You don't fix it in the 72-degree weather. Fix it by going into the environment. Can we define a bad day without comparing it by definition to a good day? And vice versa. We decide what a good day is by comparing it to what a bad day would be. You can't have good days. if you don't have bad days.
Starting point is 00:09:51 If there are no bad days, the good days don't exist. That's why failure is so important. Like failing and fucking up and making mistakes, it's very important. That's how you learn. See, the bad feeling that you get from something that you shouldn't have done or wish you didn't do or wish you did better, it's dangerous to dwell
Starting point is 00:10:19 on past mistakes because people sort of define themselves by the worst moments that they've ever had. They don't like the feeling of failure, so they keep low expectations, that they never have to feel that, you gotta get through it. You know, first and foremost, I think about my life and I think about adversity and I think about opposition, but for the most part of my life,
Starting point is 00:10:47 I've been on this quest to figure out, how can I work hard for something, and my performance is not based upon the outcome? How can I work in my effort and my motivation and my drive is not based upon what the product will be, but more so based upon me taking pride in what I do? And so I came up with this thing called process over product. And what I mean by the process,
Starting point is 00:11:10 I'm talking about the way I handle my business on a daily basis and the way I go about every single aspect of my life. I live by this thing called empty the bucket. But what they don't understand, it's an unspoken law. Empty the bucket. It's an unspoken law of accountability and responsibility to me on this earth in my existence. And everybody that is connected to me,
Starting point is 00:11:29 I may be crazy, but I don't know. I just believe that I'm supposed to give everybody that is connected to me, the fat version of me. Be kind to yourself. You are actually doing the best you can. It's really heavy when you start to look at your, you know, you look at your life, you look at your health,
Starting point is 00:12:07 you look at your business, you look at your family, you look at your relationships, and you look at all those things that are messed up in all those areas. And when you say all those things, all those problems in my business, my life, my health, all those things are my fault, that's really a heavy weight to bear. But it's also extremely liberating because if it's all your fault,
Starting point is 00:12:31 you're the one that can fix it. You're the one that can get your business back together. You can repair the relationships. You can get yourself healthy. You can take control of all those things. The one holding me back. I was the one looking for the escape goal. I was the one looking for all these ways
Starting point is 00:12:48 to say, it's okay, David. You're a loser. You're a boring loser, so it's okay. It's all me. the people around me are fucked up they're not going to save you you got to save yourself
Starting point is 00:13:01 my friend I was like man this rest of your life is going to suck it is going to suck not because you're going to be a loser but because you're going to finally start to win
Starting point is 00:13:12 and winning is not easy my friend winning requires you to go so far deep inside yourself it's way beyond the surface it's way beyond internal it's going to a place that a lot of people haven't visited in a long, long time because they're afraid to visit that person, because when they visit that person, they don't know who that person is anymore.
Starting point is 00:14:01 When the winter comes, make this note, just hang on. You know, the winter cannot last forever. There's never been a double winter. Some are difficult and some are easier. There's never been a double winter. night the night only lasts for a few hours and then the day finally dawns and the shadows flee away fear is always about that which does not exist you cannot fight or you cannot overcome that which does not exist you want to know what
Starting point is 00:14:39 true courage is true courage is taking the test true courage is finding out what you can or can't do you can't keep sweeping what's important aside for another day because the honest truth is you weren't promised another day. It takes courage to put yourself on the fringe of failure just to determine whether or not you will succeed. Two paths in life. This is the path I chose a long time ago. It's the lonely road. You're to feel alone all the time. You can have team around, you can have mentors. Trust me, you'll feel alone. You're going to wake up earlier and everybody else. You're going to go to bed later. Why do I tell you that? That way when these things are happening, you'll know, oh, these are
Starting point is 00:15:16 signs I'm on the right road. Most everybody else will do this. The crowded race. It's well lit. There's navigational equipment. There's directions. Really good roads. The lonely road? No navigational equipment most of the time. It's dark. It's not well lit. There's a huge ups and downs. Massive turns. Road kill along the side of other people who quit on their dreams. Do the thing everybody else does. Listen to the haters. All the stuff. What's so bad about where you are? It's okay. Any of that sound familiar? That's all the lonely road stuff. You're on the right road. Don't yield. Believing in your future more than you're believing in your past. Stop romancing your past. Start romancing your future. Stop telling the story of your past. Start telling the story of your future. Stop believing in your past. Start believing in the future.
Starting point is 00:15:58 That process is an unlearning and a relearning process. It's literally breaking the habit of being yourself and reinventing a new self. I want you to know that it's okay to leave your past behind you. Yes, you've had successes and failures. You've had difficult things and wonderful things happen. You've had things that you've learned and experienced. experienced that have brought you to this point right here, right now.
Starting point is 00:16:38 And some of those things, you had no control over. Some of those events in your past were completely outside of your control. But you and only you control what meaning and impact those things are going to have for you from this point forward. You get to decide. If we want to become a better version of ourselves, we have to do what heroes do. And what heroes do is they see something that they can't do. They accept that they can't do it, and they become the person who can do it. If you tell yourself the truth, and the truth is, I'm not happy with where I'm at.
Starting point is 00:17:21 That's the truth. The truth is, I can do more. The truth is, I can be in better shape. The truth is, I can work harder than I'm working right now. The truth is, I can't do more for my family. The truth is I can do much better than I'm doing right now. And if that's the real truth, if that's what you believe, if you believe that to be the truth, you won't have to find more discipline. Discipline will find you.
Starting point is 00:17:49 It will wake you up in the morning. Anybody can sit at home and hypothesize about what they could have done successfully. It's easy to hypothesize about the success you could have had because it's safe. It's safe to do when you're not standing in front of the fire, but there's no receipt that proves your success. That's why it's courageous to take on the challenge. And if you are taking on the challenge right now, that right there is a prime example of courage. Because you're being willing to put yourself out there in the name of success, in the name of becoming a greater version of yourself. That's true courage.
Starting point is 00:18:27 You're out there actively pursuing it. You are the definition of courage. Push yourself. Push yourself to that point where you feel that thought is coming back. It's time to rest. And when the mind says it's time to rest, that's the point to keep going. That is that threshold which is going to make the difference afterwards. So discovering your limits on the one side is the first thing.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Because discovering your limits means you have a vision about what you can do. And at the same time, the limit is just. showing you what you cannot do. We're all writing a book. What's your book look like? Your life is a book. You got a bunch of chapters in your book. But when they close that book,
Starting point is 00:19:18 how good was the book? It is also to condition myself to a certain vibe. That vibe is, I don't know what this life is going to bring. But there is no alternative. Then when the challenge comes, when life is getting hard, There is no alternative for me than to just keep going. Always believe in yourself. Always be yourself.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Always be grateful. A lot of people out there dreaming, they don't put the work behind the dream. That dream has become their fucking master. Ran by a graveyard and I looked out there and I looked out there. I'm like, man, I wonder how many you mother good is in there. and just are so upset with how you live your life. Regret how you lived it.
Starting point is 00:20:36 And I'm running a 300 pound man thinking, man, don't fucking die like this, bro. Life isn't fair. It shouldn't be fair. It's a trial grounds, a testing ground, it's built to make us harder. To test us, to drive us. Mentality is the only thing that gets us through life.
Starting point is 00:20:53 We are all underdogs in life. Even the baddest person in the world should think that way. She said, I always have, I've never arrived mentality. No matter where you come from the sewer or wherever you think you're from, nothing should be able to hurt you. If you believe that, it starts to become true. You wake up in the morning and you don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself.
Starting point is 00:21:16 That's what you need to really research is, man, why am I not doing this for myself? Because that is the number one purpose in life to better oneself. So that's the only purpose. Neat. There's always someone out there's working harder than you. I'm haunted by that motherfucker. Knowing that that someone out there is willing to forego.
Starting point is 00:21:37 The person desires and comforts. Forgo sleep. Forgo whatever it takes to be better, to be the best. In life a lot of times, allow us have that person out there. It may not be a name or a faith to him, but he exists. For you, on those days you don't want to do things. It's easy to conquer.
Starting point is 00:21:57 When it's good weather, you got good sleep, and you feel great. Those are easy days to come. But who are you on those fucking day when all hells broke loose? Body's stuck. You're sore. You're depressed. You're miserable. Who are you on those days?
Starting point is 00:22:16 Life is the most brutal endurance sport of all time. And that's what you have to love about. Life continues to attack us. There are no fucking timeouts. Are you out there who are trying to get, better who are looking for more who on january one don't give a it's just a sunday to you it's you all there who are waking up tired of being a we're waking up tired of being a frame who are waking up tired to be a victim those you out there who aren't half-stepping i appreciate
Starting point is 00:22:48 you all stay hard the one mentality that you must have in life is that regardless of which in front of you you still must grind there'll be professional athlete but still i grow but still i I feel that most things I do, but still I grime. I don't want to do that I do, but still I grind. And that one day, you see me on a dark alley run at one o'clock in the morning, no one thing. I was grinding. The problem that most of us have is we think that we're all alone. We think they were the only ones going through all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Your vision becomes very narrowed. And I was able to look down at the world. And we are, all of us are jacked up. up. Some of us hide it better than others, but we're all jacked up. And once you realize that, you know, you got to come out of your shell. You got to accept who you are. You got to accept the demons that life gave you. You got to be able to look him in the mirror, look them in the eyes. Okay, I'm going to start fixing these things. But if you think that you're by yourself, the reality of your life becomes very, very horrible. And you're not. We are all jacked up.
Starting point is 00:24:01 And once you realize that, man, you don't even look at the crowd anymore. You look at your own race, you do your own race, you do your own thing, and you finally find out who you're supposed to be in this life. So many people that have the ability and just refuse to get off that couch. Refuse to study a few more hours. Refuse to go deeper, to go further. It's so easy to be great nowadays, my friend, because most people are weak. Biggest advice is shut off your phones, shut off all technology,
Starting point is 00:24:32 find a dark, quiet place for you to think. You have to think first. And then when you think, you have to think, okay, what's my purpose in life? From your purpose, now you found, okay, from my purpose, what are my goals now? Can you find your goals? Now you've got to sit down and plan. Plan. How am I going to accomplish these goals?
Starting point is 00:24:51 Then from there, the hardest part is you have to put the action in. And that's where everybody fails. You're missing the story, man. Am I happy? What do you think? Don't misunderstand the passion in which I speak for not being in terms. intensely happy, happiest person in the world. But I'm not done.
Starting point is 00:25:12 So I'm not going to speak to you like, oh man, everything is great. No, I have a lot more to do. A lot more shit to do. Become a better person. How you gain mental toughness, how you become a person you want to be, is constantly facing the things that you don't want to face. If you constantly run away from things that you don't want to face, how is their growth?
Starting point is 00:25:34 I'm always sharpening my sword. And how I sharpen my sores, I have a mentality of my refrigerator is never full. I've never arrived. And every time I get close to the top of the mountain, I fall back down on purpose. I believe that the true growth is at scratch. There has to be friction in your life for you to be able to move forward. Life is short. Life is precious.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Spend that time with the people you love. The people you want to get that time, too. Real friends, real family. everybody else and they're sucking up the air if you breathe why you are trying to find inspiration and motivation with a depressed mindset
Starting point is 00:26:15 what challenges of fun of yourself when you put a challenge in fun of yourself and you attack it that's when you find inspiration stay hard we're all fpped up stop stop judging yourself against other fpped people who have hidden
Starting point is 00:26:32 it better than you it's all they've done they've mastered it better than you have and now they're flipping it back on you and saying you're fucked up. Life is one big head game. And once you learn to play the motherfuckin head game, no longer game anymore at all. If you want something bad enough, you can't let anybody tell you you can't do something. I'll repeat that.
Starting point is 00:27:14 If you want something bad enough, you can't let anybody tell you you can't do something, not even yourself. You need to work. on yourself. If you just try to be pampered, and if you're trying to be soft, and if you're trying to be the victim and also, you're not going to go anywhere. We need to get stronger. We need to get tougher. We need to not be afraid of failure. We got to go into the work. We got to face adversity. Adversity breeds character. There's strength. We have to be willing to go through hardship, through suffering, through pain, through crying periods, all of that stuff, don't shy away from
Starting point is 00:27:56 any of that because it just makes you stronger. There will be days when you give every ounce of yourself, every ounce of your soul, blood, sweat and tears, early mornings and late nights, and not see any result from all of your hard work. And the most difficult part of all of that is knowing you have to show up the next day and do it all over again. And you may not see the result immediately. It may not come next week.
Starting point is 00:28:24 But believing that eventually the result will come is what makes a champion. There's going to be days where you don't feel like showing up. There's going to be days where you're paralyzed by self-doubt in days where the distance between where you are and where you want to be is overwhelming. I'm here to tell you that the only way to keep inching forward when those days happen is to be committed to the process.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Because the ones who stay consistent, whether they feel like it or not are the ones who see the results, not the ones who have conditional commitments on their goals. Keep going. I think when you feel stuck or dissatisfied in your life, it's a signal. And it's not a signal that your life is broken. It's a signal that one of your most basic needs are not being met.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Your need for exploration. And your soul needs exploration and growth. And the only way you'll get it is by forcing yourself to be uncomfortable. Why is life so hard? Life is never easy. If it's easy, it would be boring. Life should be hard. Embrace the hardness of life.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Because through those hardships, you're learning, you're molding, and you're becoming a person. So, life should be hard. When you accept that life should be hard, Then nothing is hard. Everything is easy because everything is a lesson that you can learn something from. Every day is a new day to learn something new. So what are you going to learn today? Sometimes growing and breaking feel the same.
Starting point is 00:30:09 I think that sometimes growing and breaking are the same thing. And here's something to keep in mind. In this uncomfortable season of growth, you are not the one that's, breaking what's breaking is everything that isn't you it's sometimes that hurts sometimes you have to go through that adversity and that challenge and that setback to activate the passion in the drive you know sometimes it takes the sting of defeat sometimes it takes the sting of heartbreak to activate something within you that was needed for you to start moving
Starting point is 00:30:53 in the direction that you're meant to move, to get to where you need to be. The right path is often going to be the hard one. It's going to be the one that requires you to believe in something with no guarantees. The one that asks you to let go of all control and walk forward in blind faith. But you know you're not walking blindly. Because you can see it. You can feel that there's no other choice but this. Everything you've been through has prepared you for this moment.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Lean into it. trust it you're ready you know you have a decision make am i going to stay right here am i going to live my life and be happy which by the way that's what you want there's no judgment but what i'm saying to you is is if you're that ambitious now and you don't keep moving you're going to feel bad about staying the same spot so it's important that we set bigger goals and that we continue to progress through life because we have to have a purpose we have to have a drive and the reality is is our pursuit of a bigger goal produces a lot of good for people outside of ourselves so what gifts are you suppressing by staying in that place and being content where you are?
Starting point is 00:32:01 How many lives changed? How many new ideas? How much good is now being kept in your jar because you've decided to stay right where you are? That's something to think about. Now, stay after it. If you're maybe feeling down or you're not feeling as motivated, that's where your discipline has to really kick in because the motivation is not always there. The discipline, that's what's got to.
Starting point is 00:32:30 to be your backbone for progress. Even if you don't want to do it, you're not feeling motivated to do it, the discipline will keep you on that steady upward slope. Each and every day, I'm trying to be the best I can be in that day. I'm trying to maximize that day, just that day. And I think if we all can shift into focusing
Starting point is 00:32:52 on the small, integral steps that go into the big changes, that's when we'll see the most growth and the most evolution. in our lives. The most important question you ask is what pain do you want in your life? What are you willing to struggle for? Anything worthwhile is going to require some degree of pain and struggle. So, if you're oriented toward the pain and the struggle, you're probably going to be more aligned with what you're capable of accomplishing
Starting point is 00:33:32 rather than if you just orient toward the pleasures. Every day, sunrise, sun goes down. So that means there is a up, there is a down. Since we are born, we have inhaled 50% of our times, we have exhaled 50% of our times. Meaning always 50, 50, always the exchange between left and right, up and down, bright and dark, in and out, success and failure. Our greatest challenge is that we don't know how great we really are. Because we still battle with the conversations that other people have had about you.
Starting point is 00:34:18 You have to begin to have a short-term memory when it comes to all the negative. Remember that your life is not defined by what others said about you, but it's about what you say about yourself. You've got to begin to have a conversation that it starts internally and then works its way out to the rest of the world. I want you to realize this truth. Perspective is everything. everything in life. And the beautiful thing about perspective is perspective is in your control.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Nobody else can control your perspective. But when your perspective is your power, you know that things that happen to you, what happens for you? You know the things that are supposed to break you? Actually, things are going to build you. You know the failures that happen in your life. Actually, the failure is just feedback to grow something better in your life. You think that everything the mind tells you, I need to follow. That means freedom. No. For you, for you, For us, it's the other way around. To learn and not follow what the mind tells you. This is the first step towards freedom.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Your brain is the most powerful weapon in the world. You gotta tell your brain where you wanna go and how you wanna go and how you wanna get there. You gotta control it. If not, it's over. You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you all. That's the challenge. Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming all the things that's not us
Starting point is 00:36:02 so we can become the people that we're really destined to become. There's no way you lose when you go after a dream. You don't. It always leads to something better. Always. The responsible thing to do is to listen to your heart. It wasn't hard to work at the shitty job because I was always thinking about the exciting job I was going to do afterwards. And every night that I was to do it. And every night that I just went up on stage and if it just went moderately okay, I couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Have you ever had that level of excitement doing any other fucking job? That's what it's like when you go after a dream job. So nothing is worse than not going after it. And so many of us were afraid of the silence. We're afraid to be alone. We're afraid because we know the voice in our head when we're alone is one that doesn't lift us up but brings us down. And it might seem dark and it will be cold and you'll be lonely. But I promise as you work through that cold and dark place, you will find who you are.
Starting point is 00:37:24 You will find your voice. You'll understand who you are when there's no support around you because I hate to break it to you. That's going to happen on this path to growth and this path of success. thing that wakes you up and tells you I've got greatness in me I've got the ability to overcome I've got a champion inside of me I've got something that it's unique about me that the world has never seen before but you've got to begin that conversation internally because until you believe it no one else will but the moment you make it your will to overcome every obstacle overcome every negative to overcome everyone that has ever told you you would fail you have to have those haters you need them
Starting point is 00:38:03 So you can prove them wrong by being strong. But the strength that you begin to display is not just on the outside. It begins internally. Time is the currency we're playing with in every moment of our lives. It's a center point of our influence. I talk about the roulette table of my life. It's the frame I think through where we wake up in the morning with these 24 chips. If you spend eight hours sleeping, you wake up with six, 16 chips left.
Starting point is 00:38:27 And how you place those chips on this roulette table that sits in front of us? Just before the wheel spins every day, determines all of our outcomes in our lives. There are many things in this world that we all wish weren't true. There are many things that we want to be that just aren't. The game that you're playing is human psychology. There is no greater control. There is no greater control than control over oneself. Every day that you're working to build something,
Starting point is 00:38:57 whether it's a business, whether you're trying to be the greatest parent of all time, it doesn't matter. If you fail to understand that the name of the game is changing yourself, self acquiring skills identifying the gap between who you are today and the person you want to become and accepting that you can do anything you set your mind to without limitation so now you how you spend that time what skills you begin to acquire in order to execute against that future vision you have of yourself that is everything but you're going to have to be willing to suffer along the way that means people will become a magnet to what energy you put out but you've got to begin to let that flow from your life, from your belief that I am more than a conqueror.
Starting point is 00:39:40 I am more than a victim. I am more than whatever I've gone through. Hell, I am more than anyone ever imagined, including myself, because I didn't imagine I'd be this, but I began to paint a picture and be, well, frame it with my work day in and day out. Work is step by step. It's how you conquer a mile. You don't get there overnight.
Starting point is 00:40:00 It's not all through a sprint. Sometimes it's a marathon. But even marathons might take a year, it might take two years, but you're on your way as long as you don't quit. Right, believe in what you're doing. Sometimes all you got to do is stay the course and outlast, whatever the opposition and adversity may be. Right, when it comes to whatever you consider to be success, whatever success means to you properly define it, but always look at it in terms of do I love what I do? Do I know what I'm doing?
Starting point is 00:40:31 If opposition and adversity happens, will I still believe in it? what I'm doing. Love what you're doing. Know what you're doing. But above all, believe in what you're doing, man. I want you to imagine that there's a power flowing into your consciousness. This power flows to and through us and it never stops. Now, when the power flows into our consciousness, we could call it thought power if you choose. You can think anything you want. You can think anything you want. No one can cause you to think something you don't want to think. What we want to do is learn how to control the flow of this energy. We want to learn how to control the flow of thought energy
Starting point is 00:41:23 and let it flow freely to and through us, improving everything with which it connects. You see, we're really in charge of our results. The results that we get in our life can be altered. Because on a conscious level, you have a choice. You see those two symbols, one's negative, one's positive. There is the power flowing in. You can think anything you want.
Starting point is 00:41:44 You can choose to think of what you don't want or you can choose to think of what you do want. You can look at what's wrong with life or you can look at what's right with it. You do have a choice. That power, you can build it into anything you choose. There's going to be so many hours where you will be alone. You'll feel like there's no one there to support you. And it may not be because you've been abandoned, but because those people have to tend to their own lives. learning to be self-reliant,
Starting point is 00:42:15 learning to stand in front of the fire, to face the crowd head on by yourself is what will rally the troops. That's what brings the reinforcement. So often we say, I'll go if you go. I'll stay if you stay. Be the one that goes.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Be the one that steps forward into the fire. Unafraid. Knowing that it's not because you're going to get burned, but it's because it's going to burn off the old you. Burn off that old you. and let the new you shine. You'll find that you're fireproof. You'll find that you're unstoppable.
Starting point is 00:42:49 You want to know how strong you are? Let's go test it. You say you love life. You want to live life. I'm going to show you life. Life is beautiful, but you have to accept the good and the bad as being beautiful. You can't accept the good. All this is built. Then we lose somewhere our life sucks.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Life is beautiful. Life gives us the ability to just know them in our journey in life. We met them. We love them. They cared about us. That's the purpose of life. Just enjoy what we have, what we journey to it. The stress and the worries and the fear,
Starting point is 00:43:30 it arises somewhere. And that somewhere is individually, always inside one's self. But nevertheless, we try to fix this issue. We try to look for the solution. Yeah, not inside of you. You try to find it out there. Sometimes people are too close to you to see your greatness. You're too familiar.
Starting point is 00:43:59 So what a lot of us do, we go to our spouse, we go to our friends, we go to all these people that are close to us, and we try to show our gifts and our talents, and they normalize your greatness. I believe this is true. I believe God will place strangers in your life to take you to higher places.
Starting point is 00:44:24 So don't be surprised if your support system doesn't come from familiar faces. Don't be surprised in your support system doesn't come from blood, doesn't come from family, doesn't come from the friends you have history with. But they're too close to you, they're too familiar with you. Anything we get familiar with,
Starting point is 00:44:39 we get desensitized to. So the mistake that a lot of us make is we go to what's closest to us in proximity when you need to just give it to the world. You need just give it to the world and let the world validate your vision. I need you to begin to believe in yourself in such a way
Starting point is 00:44:58 that nothing can, shake it. So what if you take a loss? So what if you've lost something for a moment? That loss is temporary. That L that you took is a lesson. But once you get that lesson, God help those that tried to teach it to you. Because once you become you, fully engaged, fully believing, nothing will stop you.
