You haven't hit rock bottom. You're not desperate enough. You're not hungry and thirsty enough for it. And this is why you can't show up in the world of consistency. We get deeply immersed in the whirlpool of another version of ourselves every single day. For me, it's deeper than get up at 2 a.m. and grind. Because I can get up, get dressed, get in my car, get to the gym, and sit on my phone. And so really the question we have to ask ourselves is, are we implementing the information that we know?

What we've written down, what we're listening to, what we know to do, are we doing it, are we implementing? Many of you are too ambiguous with your future. Not only are we not aware of who we are, but we have no idea where we're going and why we're going there. Once we get identity, our why and our where, our mission, our purpose. I do this thing effortlessly. I do this thing at two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock, five o'clock in the morning. I can lose sleep, I can miss a meal, you can step out of my

life and I'm just going to keep going. When it seems as though life has not only got me sliding down the wall but it's not going to be flat on my back, of a sudden, I've got a bounce back in me. Because I'm disciplined, I'm calculated, I'm principled, I'm aimed. I know who I am, and I know where I'm going. I don't know how many of you need to hear this, but this is the hour that you climb out of the depression. Walk out of this thing, run out of this thing, claw out of this thing, crawl out of this thing.

But today you come out. Be on your craft. Execute. Show up. Forgive. Love. Build. Create. Believe.

Try. Again. The question isn't are you consistent? The question is can you implement? Can you execute? Can you do what is right? Can you handle the uphill war of significance? Anything worthwhile is uphill. It requires a rewiring, a redirection and a 180. That's the rate of learning.

It's not about how much you can write down. It's not just about the conferences and the coaching. It's are you going to follow through? No more depression, no more anxiety. By blame game, by anger, somebody drop in the comments something you want to say goodbye to today. By to complaining, by to arrogance, by to pride, by to comparisons, by to negotiating myself out of my purpose and my destiny.

Goodbye to divorcing my future and telling myself I don't have what it takes, I can't do it, I'll start Monday, everything that has disempowered you has to leave. We need accountability, we need constructive analysis, we need coaching and mentorship, we need friends that are not going to be afraid to tell us when we've gotten off kilter. We need to make the investments required to be planted in community to optimize our performance in everyday life. That we show up personally so we can show up professionally. That everything I do behind the scenes in the dark room, in the places where nobody can see me,

I've got character, I'm principled, I've got integrity. And as a result, I dominate in public. Itchy rash won't go away. Is it an allergic reaction? A bug bite? Wait, what if it's... Oh my god. There's no substitute for a family doctor. They have the expertise to provide the care you need.

Because consistency is a system of stability and regularity and uniformity.

And you can be consistently lazy. And you can consistently quit on the meal plan. And you can be consistently angry. And you can be consistently and habitually and religiously jealous and envious. And going into relationships with an agenda that serves you and not the person seeing the relationship is a place to receive instead of give you can consistently show up in this world the wrong person

every single day with your costume and your mask on underneath all of the layers of the facade lies the real you. We all know that we can execute in the dimension of consistency. The question is, can you do what is required to fulfill your purpose? Can you do what it takes? Can you implement? Can you execute? Can you be tactical?

Are you disciplined? Are you be tactical? Are you disciplined? Are you principled? Do you possess courage to walk in purpose and to fulfill your destiny? Have you trained your brain to do not what you feel like doing, but what is required of you in order to achieve an outcome? And so I don't care if you have to listen to me a thousand times, maybe you're just streaming the audio, but if you're watching me online, I just want you to drop in the comments,

implementation, implementation is the process of putting a decision or a plan in effect. This is execution, this is application, this is carrying out, this is the uphill war between what I feel like doing and what I know I have to do. I think sometimes we forget how connected we are in this great circle of life that if it's not a spouse, it's a mom. If it's not a mom, it's a dad. If it's not a sister, it's a brother. Somebody is depending on you to win! What if we could rewire that consistency?

That as faithful as we have been to destroying our own lives, we could be that faithful to building something so beautiful and leaving a legacy. At the root and brunt of the blow of trauma and pain and agony lies a man or a woman who doesn't know who they are. And so every single day they live vicariously through the lives of others. And they show up in the workplace and they show up at home and they show up in every room that they walk in. Every single day, another version of themselves spiraling farther and farther from the place of grace and execution and confidence and courage and prowess and excellence.

Whether you're walking, running, lifting, meditating, sitting in your closet, crying in your car, sliding down the wall, beating on your chest, looking yourself in the mirror, but you've come to the resolve that this is the end of this version of me. I know who I am. Give me my crown. I don't say that break a dose of sleep, but I recognize that all of a sudden,

the ashes and the scales fall off of my eyes of royalty. It's hard to be poor and it's hard to be wealthy and it's hard to give up and it's hard to let yourself go and it's hard to not believe in yourself and it's hard to wake up every single day. Try again. Every day when you wake up you have choices. Life is about choices. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. You can hit the snooze button and you can stay in the bed where it's safe and it's comfortable or you can get up and face the world. You can stay at your phone scrolling on social media endlessly or you can create habits that are going to help you become the person that you want to be the person that you

are destined to be. The power lies in the decisions that we make every single day. Show up! Make the choices that your future self would thank you for. Don't just let life happen to you. Create the life that you want. One choice, one action, one day at a time. Because in the end, your life is nothing more than the sum of your choices. You have the power to decide right now. Today not tomorrow. So choose wisely, choose powerfully, choose to live the life you deserve.

The greatest ability that God has given humankind above the animals is the ability to choose a Dog can't be anything but a dog a cat can't be anything but a cat a human being Has the power to choose we can choose And I'm asking you. What do you see in the future for you? What brought you here today? What caused you to get up? What is it that you're looking for? You get to choose as much as you want. You get to design it any way you choose. You're not sentenced to your future. You have an opportunity to your future. How do you want it? And if it doesn't make you a

little afraid, then you ain't playing big enough. You all have your own unique rhythms and daily habits and things that you need to achieve and the things that you need to accomplish so that you look in the mirror and you feel like, Yes, I can. Why choose this as our goal? Then they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why fly the Atlantic? There's a choice. You have to choose for your happiness.

You have to choose for your well-being. You have to choose for your family. You have to choose for your health and wellness. You have to choose for success. When I made a decision to follow my destiny, I felt it calling me. My destiny was calling me. That's one small step for man. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other thing.

Not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills. Because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win. Pardon, by a plea for man's life. Again, again, again, again. Type it in the chat.

Again, again, again, again, again, again. If it's life-giving, if it's serving your purpose, if it's life-giving if it's serving your purpose if it's going to transform you into something you never thought you could be then do it again do it again type it in the chat drop it in the comments man again again again again this thing served me this thing helped me it hurt but it's helping me and it's building a bridge to the future and the destiny that I've been called to fulfill, period. Every time you go back, you're building muscle,

you're building mentality, you're building endurance, you're establishing faith. It takes faith to get out of this, to crawl yourself out of a messy history and leave a legacy. It is the man that refuses to quit. It is the man that refuses to put down his gloves that separates winners from wannabes. It is diligence and dedication and determination that separates the all-time greats from the

one-hit wonders. Do you want to do this thing one time or do you want to be notorious for winning over and over and over again? I just want to know is anybody listening that wants to do it again? I don't want to win one time. I don't want to be noticed one time. I don't want to make history one time. I want to do it over and over and over again. Do it again no matter how hard it was. No matter how much you cried and you sweat and you bled. Do it again.

Again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again. Your goals are posted on your wall. You commit privately and publicly to the call that's on your life. You think about it day and night. Whatever the goal is, it's time to shatter the ceiling above your head. To break records. To shatter the status quo. To punch through targets.

It's your time. It's your turn. You've doubted yourself long enough. People have left you, overlooked you, undervalued you, underpaid you. It's your time to connect. It's your time to get paid. It's your time to sign the deal. It's your time to connect, it's your time to get paid, it's your time to sign the deal, it's your time. If you quit, go back, dust yourself off and try one more time.

Show me your habits and I will show you your future. It is what we do habitually. It is what we do every single day that determines the measure of significance that we get to live this life. Everybody wants to drive something, live somewhere, be connected. There are protocols that must be in place. There are actions that must be taken. Not just thoughts that you must think,

but words that you must speak and actions that must be taken and coordinates to where it is that you are going. You are going somewhere. You're either going back or you're going forward. Everybody wants a comeback, but nobody wants a setback. You can't have a comeback without a setback. You are going to experience loss.

You are going to have seasons in your life where you're not gonna understand why and how you got where you are. Many of you have been the villain in your own story, and it's time to become the hero. The drama and the chaos, the narrative is about to change. The story is about to clear up. This is not a conversation about going back to everything that you left. There are some things, there are some people, there are some places that once we leave we don't ever need to go back because we

were tormented and we were haunted and we were abused ever need to go back because we were tormented and we were haunted and we were abused and we were talked about and we were overlooked and undervalued and underpaid. The reason why you didn't win is because you gave up too soon. You took the exit too quickly. You were on the freeway to freedom. You were en route. You are following the instructions. You are following the coaching. You are listening to the video. Somebody drop it in the comments.

I'm listening, I'm listening, I'm listening. I'm staying the course. I'm focused, I'm dialed in. It's the man that stays on the freeway in the middle of a traffic jam and doesn't exit that reaches the point of destiny. Where do you put in the middle of a traffic jam and doesn't exit that reaches the point of destiny. Will you put in the work? Will you stay the course?

Will you try it again? Are you willing to change perspective to see this thing differently? To get to the place of optimal performance and significance and fulfillment. Where every day you are looking for life, you have an expectation, you have a zeal, you're excited, you're ecstatic.

You've got a bold anticipation for the future. With each day that is presented to you, you have an opportunity to change everything. Whatever it is, if it's life giving, if it's going to impact someone else, if it's going to empower you to live a life of fulfillment and significance, then do it again. Itchy rash won't go away. Is it an allergic reaction? A bug bite?

You may be in a courtroom, you may be in a cage, you may be on the basketball court, you may be on the football field, you may be down by 40 at halftime. It is the man that comes back

round after round that may have taken a beating physically, but he is not broken mentally, that comes back round after round after round after round and he goes back into the dark room and he puts the work and he comes back out into the light and he puts on a show, put on a show. I'm talking to every builder every athlete, every professional, every stay at home mom every father that puts in the work day and night to provide for his family I don't know what your dream is. I don't see your vision, but if you write it down

and you put the work in and you beat on your craft and you give it everything you have and you give yourself through your work, at some point, everything's gonna begin to shift and change because you refuse to quit. This isn't just a conversation about trying again. This is a conversation about winning again. When we try something again and again and again, eventually,

when we set a target and we begin to run towards it, no matter how many times we are beaten out, eventually we run through the target. And so trying again becomes win again. And I just came to tell somebody today that's listening to me that eventually, you're not going to be the man or the woman, the boy or the girl that tries again. Eventually, there is a warrior inside of you that will emerge. There is a person that refuses to lose. Eventually, there was a warrior inside of you that will emerge. There is a person that refuses to lose, that will be burnt out of a setback.

And you are no longer the person who is known for coming back from a loss, but you are known for the person that wins again and again and again. No matter how many times I face this giant I'm surrounded by walls a hundred times taller than me they gotta fall down because I have made winning a habit. When again, punch through again. You gotta get out of this trying mentality. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna give it a try. I will. I will break out of the I'm gonna try. I'll try to smile. I'll try to be happy. I'll try to make it a good day. I will smile. I will make it a good day. I will win again. I will bring my A game again. I will give it everything I have again.

This mentality, this approach to living is what builds the bridges to the future. This is how we cement our legacy. He is a man, she is a woman that was born to shock the world. that was born to shock the world. You know, the number one excuse is I don't have enough time. I always tell people there's 168 hours in a week. If you get eight hours sleep a night,

well, there's 50 plus hours gone. You still have 110, 112 hours left. If you work 60 hours a week, you still have 55 hours left to go do what's important to you. So I don't really buy the time excuse but that's the number one excuse that I hear. It's time to get real, it's time to get raw, it's time to look ourselves in the mirror and come to the resolve that this version of ourself is not going to carry us in the stretch. That I've been this version of myself long enough that if I don't change, if I don't

do something about this, then I'm going to find myself bankrupt. A man is rewarded in public for what he does in private. Discipline is the single most important thing that you can use when it comes to being successful. Motivation is fleeting. No one wakes up motivated every single day. The key to success that you're looking for, the thing that's going to make your dreams come true is simple discipline. It's doing what needs to be done even when you don't want to, even when you're not motivated. Your only discipline once a week, your only determined twice a week. You're only determined twice a week.

You're only enthusiastic about the journey on Sundays or Wednesdays. And once you get a covenant, once you make a covenant with who you believe God is going to be, and you're saying, you know what? I'm going to commit to this. You're going to put the blood, you're going to put the sweat, you're going to put the tears in, you're going to lose sleep, you're going to go days without blood, you're gonna put the sweat, you're gonna put the tears in, you're gonna lose sleep, you're gonna go days without eating, you're gonna do whatever it takes

to make the sacrifices necessary to manifest. We give up too early. And if we just had a little bit of perseverance, if we just worked a little bit harder and just took it a day at a time, our dreams would come true. There are too many people in your life who have left you. There are too many people in your life

who have counted you out. There are too many people in your life who have whispered in your ear and said, you'll be worse off without them. Prove them wrong! Prove them. Prove them wrong! When I start off my day by investing in myself, I set the tone for the rest of my life and everything else falls into place. Because I've set a precedent that I'm important, that I'm worth it, that I matter. that I'm worth it, that I matter.

So I tell people invest in you first and then you have the energy, the drive, the passion to just uplift everybody else in your circle. Physical is the easy part. See the physical part, all you got to do is show up. If you could show up again, be all in, ask some questions, maybe we'll add be willing to suffer a little bit into that mix, you will be okay. The psychological preparation, that's a different story. I always say the mind is primary and I always say that a strong mind is a catalyst for change. When you see the best athletes in the world either perform really well or on the other hand completely bomb out, it's because of that muscle that lives between the ears. We only have so much real estate in our minds, in our hearts. We only have so much bandwidth in our mental capacity and the

more distractions, the more delusions, the more negativity that we allow to take up real estate in our hearts and in our minds, the less energy we have to fulfill the call, to fulfill destiny, to manifest the idea. Everything that you think about, that you meditate on, everything that has your attention has to be worth your time. So now it's time to navigate and do an appraisal

of everything that's in our life, everything and everybody in our life. Time to do an appraisal and ask it and ask them this question, are you worth my time? If you're not, it's time to unplug, time to unplug, time to unplug. Time to unplug. Time to unplug. Three rules Bobby Maximus lives by. Number one, show up every single day. Number two, when you do show up, you wanna be all in.

You wanna be 100% present. And number three, be curious. Ask some questions along the way. Don't be scared to admit that you don't know everything. And if you can learn a little bit, along with showing up and being all in, the world is yours. Itchy rash won't go away. Is it an allergic reaction? A bug bite? Wait, what if it's... Oh my god.

If you want something, if you want to be good at something, you want to accomplish something, you've got to put in the time. And the minimum amount of time that you can put in is an hour a day of dedicated practice for six straight months. If you want to be good at something, you've got to do it every day. Like we look at people like LeBron James. Why is he good at basketball? Because he does it every day. You look at Wayne Gretzky in hockey. Why was Wayne so good in hockey, arguably the greatest of all time? Because he did it every day. And so, my

number one piece of advice to people. If you want to be good at something, whatever that thing that you desire is, whatever your passion is, do it every single day. That's the real secret to success. We celebrate athletes and we celebrate critical thinkers and innovators and actors and we praise them and claim them our heroes and we follow them by the millions. We love what they do in public but you don't know the story behind the glory. You don't know the story behind the glory. You don't know the blood, the sweat. You didn't see the tears that they cried, the prayers that they prayed,

the countless weeks where they went without sleep to get where they are. When you see somebody that's successful, your gut reaction is to think they're lucky. They had a great trainer. They had it easy. If I was in their shoes, I could do it too. The thing that I would want to say is these people work harder than you can imagine. They show up every day. They do the work. They suffer.

So when you see somebody on a screen, rather than criticize, be grateful. Rather than try to cut them down, maybe try to learn a little bit from them because the amount of dedication that goes into that craft, a normal person will never understand. The secret of change is to focus all of our energy, not on fighting the old, but building the new and specifically behind closed doors where nobody's looking, where no one is there to affirm you, where nobody's there to validate you, where nobody is there to agree with you,

you build in the dark, and you announce it when it's finished. At Ritual, we're celebrating all moms this Mother's Day, current and aspiring.
