Do you know how hard I work to get here? Instead of spending time, getting in the mood to work, just start working, confront the work. People think they need perfect conditions to start when in reality, starting is the perfect condition. You only got one life, guys. Again, if you work it right, you only need one. People who don't have a sense of purpose, a mission, and don't have a consistent routine, end up digging hard. holes in their life. And it's not always Vicodin or some drug addiction.

It could come as something benign as porn, gambling, over-drinking, too much television, things that slowly chip away at humanity, things that people use to escape, vaping, binge-watching television.

All of these things are digging holes in your life that ultimately you look back and you realize there's such a chasm between you and your spouse that you and your kids barely know each other, even though you live on the same roof, that you've got this dad bod with a pot belly and pointy tittyes and pear-shaped.

And you're like, whoa, where'd this come from? It was the absence of purpose, and it was absence of routine. We need it. Otherwise, humans dig the holes in their lives too, no different than a German shepherd would. The emotionally immature man seeks out motivation to do something hard one time. The emotionally mature man uses discipline

to do something hard. a thousand times. You have emotional maturity, you realize that some days you're not going to sleep well. Some days you're going to wake up and you've got your schedule and everything's planned out and the poop hits the fan. You got to eat those shit sandwiches, right? And whether things go well or not that day, the emotionally mature man will still do what he has to do to stack his winds to focus on his purpose.

Whereas the emotionally immature man will say, well, I didn't sleep well. I had nightmares so I'll stay in bed. I didn't sleep well or it's raining outside. It's cold outside. I don't feel good. I just woke up and the airplanes hit the World Trade Center, so I guess I have to change my pattern of life. You have to stay the course no matter what.

And it takes a high level of emotional maturity because your emotions dictate your motion. This next generation is coming up, and I don't mean to smash all of them, but they seem like a bunch of pussies to me, you know? So because of that, there's never been more opportunity than there is right now. If you're a fucking savage and you get out there and you grind hard, and you want it bad enough, you can run all these guys over, man.

You can have what you want in five years, but there's two conditions. You have to know what it is, and you have to aim at it. Okay. Okay, so let's say you're willing to play that game. Might be wrong, because who knows, you're going to get run over by a bus tomorrow, but you know, you're going to play the game. Okay, now the next step is, all right, figure out what you want. Write it down.

Figure out what you could do to start moving towards that, okay? Do that with your fix. family relationships. Do that with your friendships. Do that with your career. Do that with your education. Think about your misuse of alcohol and drugs and other things that might drag you down. You have to discipline yourself. And the issue is, well, how? That's not really the relevant question. You can pick a disciplinary path. That's why I often tell my clients, especially young people, they say, well, I don't know what to do. It's like, that's okay. Nobody does. Go do something. Do the best thing that you can think of. Put the best plan you have.

into practice. It's not going to be perfect and it will change along the way, but it will change partly because you become disciplined pursuing the path. And as you become disciplined, you become wiser. And as you become wiser, you become able to formulate better and better plans. The man who never fail, the man who never fell has no glory. The man who fell and got back up, that's where his glory is. The man who fell 20 times and got up 21 times, that man has even greater glory. Wow. That man has more courage, way more curse than the guy who was so strong from birth that he never failed. There's no glory in that. The heaviest things in life aren't iron and gold, but unmade decisions. The reason you are stressed is that you have decisions to make,

and you're not making them. We're all writing a book. What's your book look like? What does your book look like? Like your life is a book. You got a book. bunch of chapters in your book, but when they closed that book, how good was the book? If your definition of success is win or lose, giving everything you've got and growing or learning along the way, then you're setting yourself up for success. I really think the biggest cheat code in life is just going after it and not being concerned of whether or not you fail at one specific task, instead understanding the big picture, what your long-term goal is, and knowing if you keep driving forward and never quit in the end you will succeed.

It is so easy to beat people today. They are so soft. They have no work ethic. No one can stick with anything. Everyone's distracted. There are social media. They're counting their notifications. Because they can't stick with shit.

They can't say no. Your excuses will destroy you and take everything that you ever wanted from you if you let them. Your biggest enemy is you. My whole book is about you battling yourself. People don't understand is you against you. The only person that gets in you, way as you. I had to invent a guy that can take any pain, any suffering, any kind of judgment. I had to build this callous mind and I built it through suffering.

If my life was a movie and someone were to watch it, I hope they'd be inspired to take risks, not just risks to achieve success, but embrace feeling, both pride and shame, fear and excitement. Personally, I want to experience as much life as possible, and that only happens when you embrace the highs and the lows. No one's going to come to help me. No one's going to come to help me. It's just me against me, period. And so I had the man up, and I said,

the first guy I started doing it's facing every fear I have. I'm at what the fuck it is, man. And these things would keep me up. And not one, people who are hearing this shit, they will never really understand and grasp when you face these things and so many things, how they keep you up and haunt you at night. But if I'm feeling bad, that doesn't mean I'm doing bad. That doesn't mean I am bad.

That doesn't mean that I can't still take some out. action because yeah nothing changes and nothing changes man yeah I don't care how good you are in anything you don't have discipline you ain't nobody right you're nothing without discipline because you give up a slight a struggle without discipline 100% we discipline is doing what you hate to do but do it like you love it doing what you hate to do but do it like you love it nothing's permanent nothing's permanent that's why I'm always big on you have to keep what you want to be in in the front of your mind. Because you're going to always lose it within the suffering.

Unchosen suffering is going to happen in life. 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. You're going to become ill or sick or destitute. Things are going to happen that you have no control over. And the only way that you can prepare yourself for unchosen suffering is with chosen suffering.

Right. You can elect to put yourself into a position to become a stronger alloy of whatever the metal is that you're made of. And by purposefully choosing difficult things, you will armor yourself against that situation. It's still going to suck. Hard times create hard men. Hard men create soft times.

Soft times create soft men. Soft men create hard times. We are now around soft men and hard times. We're in the time of toxic masculinity, right? or you can be toxicly male. The more you put into anything in life, the more you're going to get out. Now, for whatever reason, people understand this, and they understand that the more you put into building a business,

the more you're going to get out of it. The more hours you spend working on anything, the more you are going to get out. This is probably one of the heaviest hammer blows, I think, for today, this next one. This is a real habit. My anger tweeting? No, it's not. It's an existential one.

Oh, fun. You've already achieved goals you said would make you happy. You've already achieved goals you said would make you happy. Because if I just think, well, tomorrow I'm just going to coast and eat Twinkies and watch TV. Oh, hello, sadness, my old friend. Hello, depression. Because when you're not doing anything, you feel like shit. You're 300 pounds.

Where's the motivation when you can't read and write? Where is it? So how have this happened? I just did. I just did. I said, maybe at the end of this journey, there'll be something there for me. If not, I can read. If not, I'm 185 pounds.

There's no magic potion. There's no, oh, let me wake up and look at some shit. No, all those words are overused. You got to be willing to do the work. You can speak about it all day. The easiest thing in the world to do is to complain, blame, and quit and settle. That's the easiest thing in the world to do. But it takes real work to deconstruct and to reconstruct the thought process and the mindset of an individual when they're trying to change something.

That's why I always say to people, what's more important, what we acquire or who we become. You're a man. You are a man. Stand up and be a man. Make the hard decisions. Make the sacrifices. make the unpopular decisions and become comfortable in your own skin. And if you are not a person that you are comfortable being alone with, that is the one person in this universe that you have full power, full right,

full responsibility to change. And what's interesting about most skills is that the amount of effort that it takes to maintain a skill versus the amount of effort it takes to grow a skill is like one-tenth, the amount of effort. And so this is where the effort arbitrage is so important in terms of allocation. And so if you do a four out of ten on ten things, you will make progress on none. You will make the same amount of progress that you could have made if you just did one out of ten, which is none, you just don't regress. But the extra three points that you save on the nine, you could put on one other item and have a ten out of ten or a thirteen out of ten in effort. And then after every

periodized chunk of time have a big W or win that you can look back on and say, I did that and therefore I am. I get happier about the harder it is because I know that no one else will follow. It's a selection effect. And I think if you can shift from this is hard to no one else will be able to do this, then it flips from being this thing that you're like, oh, poor me to, oh, poor everyone else who's going to have to fucking try. Listen, every day when you get out of bed, life's standing right there to kick you in the

face, man, and you have to be ready for it, and you got to deal with it. You can't curl up into a ball, you can't run away from it, you can't hide, you have to take all this shit head on. You've got to work harder, you've got to commit more, to take more responsibility, you've got to deal with more ups and downs. And if we can deal with that question, how much are you willing to suffer? I work with gold medal champions, and they suffer every day. They work enormously hard. They sacrifice enormous things to get that success.

You might think that life is unfair. You might think that life dealt you a bad hand, but I'm here to tell you life will give you exactly what you tolerate. And if you've been tolerating mediocrity, you've been tolerating average, you've been tolerating this victim mentality that you're carrying, then guess what? You have exactly what you deserve.

I don't deserve to be that man, but I can still do the things that can create it. And it also means that I have to go, through the circumstances that that would create that man, which means that if I have unbelievable big dreams and big goals, then I have to go through hard times. It's like hate, the hard times are a requisite for success. And so if you're going through hard times right now, it means that you're on the path to success, and it's not that you're on the wrong path.

It's the feeling of being on the right path. You can believe you're not worthy of a thing and still attain it. You can be adamant that your efforts are going to go badly and still succeed. You can grip and grasp and fear And it ruin the enjoyment and be totally unwarranted And things still go well You can have no self-belief and show up anyway You can want more for yourself without knowing exactly what that looks like

You can doubt the process question your talent Be uncertain that you're making progress Disparage your accomplishments Permanently feel like you're not working hard enough No matter how hard you work Never give yourself a break Fail to fully feel gratitude Be terrified of never reaching your goals

And still end up in a place place that your 20-year-old self could not imagine you'd ever get to. If you're going through that right now, and I promise you, every single person who wants to do something with their life and has done something with their life has gone through the exact chapter that you're going through. And it's the lonely chapter. It's the chapter where you're, you don't fit in with your own friends, but you don't have the outcomes yet to fit into a new group of friends. And you're doing this thing, you're consuming content on the internet, you're doing these free tutorials online to try and figure out how to set up a podcast and what do I host this

thing. And you're going through this and you're like, is this even worth it? Because you have no signs of success, right? But if there's anything that you can take away from what we're saying right now, is that the sign of success is the hate that you get along the way. And what you can't do is bend the need to their hate and fit back into the conformity because it's comfortable and it's warm because like in the Matrix, when Trinity opens the door, when, when Neo's about to go take the red pill and he wants to get out of the car, she says, Neo, you've been down that road. And you know exactly where it leads. And I know that's not where you want to be.

And then he closes the door. Like right now, this moment that you're going through is Trinity opening the door and being like, you could go back. But then you'd have to remember exactly what the reason was that you decided not to go out to begin with just because you listen to this podcast and you consume this content. You're like, I can do more than this. 99% of people in the world are convinced that they're 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. Don't take today off.

Not today. Wait until tomorrow. Don't give in to the immediate gratification that is whispering in your ear. Shut that down. Do not listen to that little voice. Instead, go through the motions. Lift the weights, sprint the hill, work on the project, get out of bed. Now, as an overall rule, I do not like procrastination.

You need to get things done. Everyone does a few reps when it burns starts and they stop. No one goes the extra money and keeps going. No one's in here right now. Why? Because it's Saturday evening and was about a party. No one's in here. It's me. You know, no one goes the extra mile. The thing about traffic jams, guys, there are no traffic jams in the last mile of the race. It's just you and the shadow. In the beginning, everybody's there.

All the pretenders and the contenders, they're all there. With the last yard of life, the last mile of journey. Ain't nobody, but you and your shadow. Traffic jams don't exist that far. Does everyone else start giving up? A blade, a blade does not become strong. It does not become tempered until it's been through the fire, until it's been through the fire several times.

And this is just your first or second time through the fire. And there's a lot of hammerwork that has to take place. And then you're going to have to go back in the forge again. And it's hot. And it melts you down. And you're uncomfortable. and then life is going to pull you out and it's going to put you on anvil and it's going to hammer on you some more and you're going to say what am i done yet am i sword for the ages uh no no you're not uh you're not done yet

embrace the process and don't look for what you are supposed to be fully completely polished sharpened edged tempered at 26 or 36 at 46. You've got a lot more forge time left. You've got a lot more hammer blows left. And it takes time. But if you will patiently embrace the process, then by the time you get up in years,

you can be a man that you're proud of. A year from now, it's going to happen like that. And who is your future self? One year from now, who is it? Just like everyone's out of here, go party Saturday night. They're not going to sacrifice. I'm like a lone survivor in here. You know?

Tonight will be over with two. Tomorrow I'll be stronger for it. Another day will go by. 365 of them. It happens so fast. Who are you going to be in a year from now? And in a year from now, is that future person,

holy grotes or pride. We know that day's coming. We can't go backwards. We can't go forward. We know that day's coming. What we do right now, Going shirt goes our way. If you're going to try, go all the way.

Otherwise, don't even start. If you're going to try, go all the way. This can mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe your mind. Go all the way. It can mean not eating for three or four days. It can mean freezing at a park bench. It can mean jail. It can mean derision, mockery, isolation.

Isolation is the gift. All the others are. a test of your endurance, or how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds, and it'll be better than anything you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There's no other feeling like that. You'll be alone with the gods, and the knights will flame with fire. Do it, do it, all the way, all the way. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is. You've been there, you feel it, you understand what it is, and then you have that time to adjust. That's why losing in life is so important,

whether it's getting dumped, getting fired, losing a game, loss, those feelings where things didn't work out your way, that's important because it lets you know this is the bad feeling that comes when it goes wrong and you improve and then it makes the good feelings of victory all the better. So many people have that ability. They haven't taken the time to see what they want in life. Therefore, he's crazy.

I'm crazy. They put a title on us. You know what a title does to people? A title is the greatest separator of all time. It allows you to go in your comfort zone and saying, he's just nuts. He's special, special person. That gives you to get out of jail, a free car.

You can go ahead and be normal now. Because we're special people. No? We found what we want in life.
