You know, what's the most important key to success? I think it's hunger. You know what's the number one way you measure somebody that's hungry? Very simple. Their sense of urgency. I don't believe in talent. Well, some people, they have talent. That's good.

It helps when you have talent. As long as you have a lot of determination and willpower. That's all you need. You have to have the will to win. This is it. There will never be a more perfect time than now. Rise, young warrior. You must get up.

Your journey is not over. And it's one thing to be hungry. It's another thing when you're starving for greatness and starving for success. If you want to be really great at something, you kind of have to be out of your fucking mind. But you also have to have an iron will. Because pain, you're going to have all the time, uncertainty, and constant work. Constant one. Constant one.

Life is hard. Everything worth doing is hard. There is no easy path. There is no tomorrow. No tomorrow. It is your journey, young warrior. Only you decide when it ends. The world is yours.

There's something that you want and you're hungry for it. You've got to do whatever is necessary until. And when you give the best you can and that's not enough, you must do what is required. I didn't teach myself victory first. I taught myself failure. If you want to go from where you are to where you want to be, you're going to have to do something that makes you more different,

more weird, more easy to be more. And there is this temptation to go back to your old ways of thinking. Go back to the road that you already know how it's going to end. And I get the sense that this is not a bug. It is a feature. It's a part of moving from a place that you do not want to be to one that you do. and for the most part you actually need to live through this lonely chapter

and this is most people I think most people's experience because if most people don't change you are going to be an outlier if you're somebody who does change so you want to be normal so you just want to be like everybody else that roams the world

not knowing the power that's in them being fine but being mediocre you want to go back to who you were huh david there are only two mistakes along this way. You are not starting this one or you are not bringing this one to the end. Everybody knows you got to pay a price for winning, but most people are willing to pay it. They may pay it once, but literally you got to pay it every single day. And the crazy part about that is the price changes daily, just like the stock market goes up and down. The price of winning

changes on a daily, daily basis. You've got to be willing to pay that price, whatever. it is on that day. I call the Rocky cutscene and almost every successful person that I have ever encountered has gone through not a month or a year, but many years of doing work without reward where they have to do things that other people find boring and they have to sacrifice things that everyone finds interesting that most people want to do during that entire season of their life and they basically sacrifice a season of other things that they would prefer to do to do stuff that they would not prefer to do because of the one thing they want most. And that's the rocky cutscene. And instead of lasting five minutes, it just usually lasts five or

10 years. One day to change your life forever. I know that you have a grand vision. I know you want better for yourself. I know that you are fed up with being stuck in the same place. You seem to be stuck in this endless, dreadful cycle of stagnation. Well, this is your chance. to get out. And once and for all, show yourself that you are capable to remind yourself of the power you possess. And I promise you if you do, you will never look back because this time is different. And don't give up on yourself. Don't throw the towel in so quickly. Many people give up on the one yard line. Oh no, no, no. See, life is not just that simple. It's not that cut and dry. And that's why most people name

never realize their personal greatness because they're casual about life. And when you are casual about life, you will end up a casualty. It's hard. It's frustrating. There's things that are going to happen. You're going to get punched in the face. You're going to get sick. You're going to have breakups.

You're going to have people let you down. You're going to have people steal from you. You're going to have friends let you down. You're going to make mistakes. And everybody's going to see it and laugh at you. All of these things are going to happen. You have to build yourself into someone who can continue to execute regardless of what's happening around you. And if you can do that, it doesn't matter

what's happening around you. It doesn't matter if they're laughing. It doesn't matter if they're making fun. It doesn't matter if the weather's bad. It doesn't matter if the economy's bad. It doesn't matter if your parents don't approve or your wife or your girlfriend or your husband. It doesn't matter if you keep executing because eventually you will find yourself in the place you set out to be. Get serious. Life is serious. We call it life or death. You can't just give in. You've got to push back.

Serious. Life is serious. The future is serious. One ancient novelist said, these are the best of times and these are the worst of times. The best of times and the worst of times. That's called serious matter. It's serious whether you win or lose.

It's serious whether you succeed or fail. It's serious whether you've got a good future carved out for yourself or you do not have. These are serious matters. Matters of the heart are serious. Matters of income are serious. Matters of supporting your family, serious. And when you have goals that are maybe outside your reach, you have to know that getting to that goal, you can have a lot of bad days.

So I was just failing. I kept failing and kept failing and kept failing. So I had to teach myself how to fail right. And what that means is when I fail, I can't spend much time in that fail zone. I have to be able to get up and get after the next day just as fast. So the big thing is know that if you have big goals and big dreams, along the way failure is going to happen. So how fast do you get up from that?

Everything changed for me when I realized that we're not meant to feel excited and perfect all the time. I started accepting that where I am right now is where I'm. genuinely meant to be. Tough days are all a part of the process. Lean into them. Bad days are also part of a very good and meaningful life. So on my toughest days, I think about getting through one more day, one more workout, one more rep. He says, press on. Nothing can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. The world is full of unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not. The world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The world might say you are not allowed to yet. I waited a long time out in the world before I gave myself permission. to fail. You can bother asking. Don't bother telling the world you are ready. Show it. Do it. When you began your journey, you were determined. Nothing could stop you. And now that you are so close, are you willing to give up so easily? I think the most expensive thing you could do is lose hope.
