And right now, pretend you're in the part of the movie that starts and it shows you as a loser. If I got to fight to get you in the gym, that's a problem. I'm just saying, for real, some of you broke and you still entertained. I'm talking about those of you who complain about your job.

You ain't got no money and you sitting here complaining about, but then you watching all the TV programs. I'm never going to feel like doing the things that are tough or difficult or uncertain or scary or new. So I need to stop waiting until I feel like it. We all have a habit of hesitating. The idea isn't going to execute itself. And the book isn't going to write itself. And the weights out in the gym,

they're not going to move themselves. You have to do it, and you have to do it now. But there's a motherfucker out there who wants what you have, who wants the position you are, who wants the job you have, who wants the wife that you have, or the husband. There's someone out there hungry and wants everything you can have. But if you're lazy, man, I don't want to talk to you. I won't deal with you. You're going to make me feel dumber.

You know, you're going to lower my level. I don't think so. The reason why you're so lazy is not because you don't have the ability you're so lazy because your dreams so small i believe in myself every day i know i make mistakes i know i'm not perfect but i am not lazy you can keep sleeping i'm gonna working. They say things like, I'll start Monday. It's not my fault. It's not fair. I'm too damn tired. Or my personal favorite, I don't have enough time. They have a loser mentality through and through. And until they recognize the problem is them, they'll never improve. I know many talented people who had a great deal of potential, but they never

realized their greatness and they will end up going to their grave with all the good stuff still in them. You will be tested and how you face that test and how you overcome that test determines the rest of your life. You got to have something that is inside you, something that inspires you up, something that drives you, something that gives you more power than you've ever had in your life. Your life comes down to your decisions. And if you change your decisions, you will change everything. The best of the best, they don't sleep. They keep working.

What are you going to do? Where do I start? And when's the best time to start? I have a very simple answer for that. what are you gonna do where do i start and when's the best time to start i am very surprised here and now if you want something out of life you got to go after it rise up and stop being lazy Stop being lazy On a day to day basis

Stop waking up with the wrong attitude Lazy Doesn't qualify It doesn't give you The things that you really truly need in your life. It won't push you. It won't make you better. It'll just bring you down

and make you weak. Why would you want to be lazy? It's all business. Nothing personal. If you want it, go get it. Procrastination will assassinate your motivation. And without motivation, how can you reach your destination? I'm not a lazy person. I want to be stronger. I want to be the best of myself every day of my life. Are you that person that says you don't like to get up in the morning?

You know, you hear that a lot these days. I'm not a person that likes to get up in the morning. I'm not a morning person likes to get up in the morning. I'm not a morning person. I say this often. When that sun is on my face and not on my grave, it's a blessing. I don't need to be lazy. I need to be determined. I need to put in work.

I got a job to do. I got responsibilities. And one thing you must understand when it comes to success, it's not waiting on you. It's not thinking about you. Yeah, there's going to be some obstacles when it comes to success, but you got to continue down the path moving forward. It's not going to be something that's going to happen overnight, but even when you're tired, find a way to be strong. When you feel like you can't carry on, find a way to carry on. You're human. We're all human. And we have those days. But it's a blessed day. It's a good day.

But it's not a day to be lazy. Put your lazy aside. Don't wait for someone to hand you something. Don't put it aside and say, well, I'll do it tomorrow. Well, I'm not going to do it right now. Tomorrow I can take care of it tomorrow. Tomorrow is good well I'll do it tomorrow well I'm not going to do it right now tomorrow I can take care of it tomorrow tomorrow is good I can do it tomorrow no you can do it now

not tomorrow leave tomorrow alone and stop letting lazy dictate your life I don't agree with lazy I preach it every day. If you want something out of life, you got to go after it. If you truly believe in yourself, then continue to believe in yourself.

Have more faith in yourself and put lazy aside. Welcome to Daily Motivation, where you get motivated and inspired. Because it's not going to get you where you want in life. Lazy is not going to get you that promotion on your job. Lazy is not going to help you to run a company. Lazy is not going to give you the opportunity to be a CEO. That's not how it works. Your best players are champions right now.

Your best players are the ones that's making it right now. And the ones that are lazy, they're not going to get anything from you. So I need you to stay determined. I need you to stay driven. And I need you to give it 110% of everything you've got. Be strong. Be powerful. And from the bottom of my heart conduct your business

motivation gets you going discipline commitment strong habits is what gets things done right it's all up here whoa i feel good when it comes time to bring it into practice, grounded action is what gets things done. When you have built a habit, it's ingrained in your nervous system in such a way that the brain doesn't even have to consider whether or not it'll get done. It just gets done because you committed. Commit once.

This is important. You guys need to write this down. Commit once. You don't need to commit more than once. You commit once to the thing that you're going to do and then you do it every single day. So whatever it is that you're trying to achieve in life, the critical component is getting things done and getting things done in a systematic way, building the character that's associated with getting things done in a systematic way requires that you become disciplined. Oftentimes people will come to me for advice on fitness, on building their businesses, their relationships, whatever the case may be. And often the place that they're dropping the ball is in bad habits or not building productive habits. Because it's very difficult to just get up and change your life, just change the way you do things.

People like to say that all the time. Hey, just stop doing this or start doing that. They like to give advice. But the underlying factor is that our friend, our individual, whoever's asking the question, is not disciplined enough to actually put that thing in action, get that thing done. So the thing that I have always told my students and my clients is to start with a small win. Begin with something small. So for example, if you want to lose weight, I often tell people just start walking every single morning.

Don't worry about counting calories. Don't worry about complex workout ideas. Don't worry about anything that anyone is selling you. Just get up and walk every morning, right? Now, it's not the walking that's actually going to make that person successful. Now, it will add to your success because getting up and walking, fresh air and exercise is going to support you in losing weight. But we all know that there's far more factors to consider. But what it will do is create the virtue of discipline, commitment.

The fact that that small win associated with getting up every single morning is under your belt. You're going to feel the courage, the confidence, and you will have the ability to begin adding other things to your ability to grow stronger. So now that you know, it's been 60 days, 90 days, and it's like, you got that pattern down, Pat. You get up every morning, you just walk. That's it. You don't think about it. It's become a habit. You now can use that tool of creating habits and instilling discipline with the next one. Basically what you're doing, and I've mentioned this in videos before, is you're getting comfortable with discomfort. You've got to get comfortable in getting uncomfortable. And the minute that discomfort begins to rule you, you are no longer in control. Now the circumstances are.

So put yourself purposefully in uncomfortable situations. There's no virtues developed in a vacuum. Essentially, no virtue is developed in the absence of the practice, the expression. You've got to do the thing to have the power. Otherwise, you would have reached, it's been 10 years. You're not a goal person. And to be quite frank, it's difficult for even myself at times. If I don't have something nipping at my ass, then why go after something? You've got to really brainwash yourself to do that. Create a situation where you sink or swim. You'll learn how to swim. You've got to place yourself in the midst of a storm. And it's got to be a self-created storm. Otherwise,

most people have to wait until the shit comes crumbling down before they take action. I'm inviting you to create a shitstorm for yourself so that you will be motivated by the wolf crying at the door, by the dog nipping at your ass, by the fire under your ass. You want to know the real secret? The real secret to a happy and fulfilled life? Let me give you a hint. It's not how much money you have.

It's not what car you drive, what house you live in or what watch you wear. It's not even how many friends you have or how many people love you. It's one thing. How mentally tough your mind is. Listen, man, no matter what you do in life, you're going to get haters. You're going to get people that don't understand what you're doing, whether you're following your dreams or just going through the paces,

they're going to be there, making themselves feel better about their failures and their fears by putting you down. But when it comes to your dreams, your ambitions, their opinion is none of your business. Dreaming is good. Having goals is good. But sooner or later, there comes a time when you must act. Dreams without action, that's the path to delusion. Without action, these dreams and goals will fill your life with negative emotions. Things like anxiousness, nervousness.

They will fester inside you and drain your energy. I've met a lot of successful people. And again, my definition of success is how happy a person is with their life, right? Now, I've met a lot of them and there is one thing that they all have in common that I've found. And that's all of them have trained their mind to deal with anything like frozen. All of them know how to interpret the world around them and the things that happen you're actually training your mind to believe that you can't have the things that you want so i'm here to tell you today that you can have anything you want be anyone you want

but you're gonna have to work hard work is the universe's great equalizer. If you keep taking action in spite of all this stuff that might happen, guess what? Sooner or later, you're going to start winning. Stop looking for the easy way. Stop looking for the shortcut, because let let me tell you there ain't one. Hard work is the thing that has leveled the playing field and given the average Joe a shot at a crown. Train your mind. Train your mind not to focus on the problem and make it bigger but focus on the solution to solve it. This will make the problem smaller

and easier to deal with in your mind, and then it will be solved quicker. You have to work on this daily. Work on how you interpret problems and the things that happen around you. Stay positive, stay focused, and most importantly, stay strong. Life is always going to throw shit in your way. Things that will test you. Things that will make or break you. And you've got two options. You can just stand there and take it, or you can smash through the thing and move on with your life. You have where you are right now and where you want to fucking be.

And there's only one road or one path that takes you there, and that's hard work. You have everything you need to have everything you want, but you must get to work. You can either be a victim of your life or the master of it. The choice is yours. Stay with us. We'll be right back. Hey there, fellow listeners.

You've been in this place too long. You've come into agreement with this place of brokenness, procrastination, laziness. Rip up the contract with your past and pursue your purpose and fulfill your destiny. Come to the resolve that you will never

be this broke or broken again. One thing I know about destiny is that it will avoid you until you are no longer willing to tolerate the place where you have settled.

The place called convenience. Settling is dangerous because it's basically an authorized intruder. When you settle, you're basically saying, I'm willing to accept less than what I deserve.

Stop settling for anything that is beneath you. Stop settling for anything that's not up to your standards you see you gotta stop disappointing you and the way you stop disappointing you is to put those two words together never settle for anything never settle for anything. Never settle for anybody. You do not have to settle.

Listen to me carefully. You would not settle if you could see what was on the other side of hanging in there. After a while, it turns into regret. After a while, you start resenting the fact that you said. When you give up hope, you stop dreaming. My friend, you stop believing. Can I ask you a question? When did you stop hoping?

When did you stop believing? When did you stop talking? When did you stop dreaming? What was the day? What was the moment? What happened? Because I'm here to tell you, as a man thinks, so is he. Don't you ever lose hope. Don't you ever give up your mindset.

Your dream is worth fighting for. If you desire to move from dreaming your dream to living your dream, you must recognize your value and you have to be willing to hold out for what you deserve. The moment I made up my mind, my life was transformed. And I'm telling you right now, if you get these two words in your spirit, your life will be transformed as well. My friend, hear me, never settle, never accept anything less than the goal focus on everything that you have to gain now that you recognize your value now that you realize that you deserve more hear me get your hopes up and don't you ever settle never settle

when we were young we stood in front of the class in elementary school, and we would tell our friends, I'm going to be rich. I'm going to be a business guy. I'm going to travel the world. I'm going to be an athlete. I'm going to be an entertainer. I'm going to be a doctor. I'm going to be a lawyer.

You never stood up in front of that class and said, hey, I'm going to be average. Never settle. stood up in front of their class and said hey i'm gonna be average never settle they say they say a mind a mind is a terrible thing to waste the mind is so powerful it's so unique it could do many things and you are the one that is responsible for the thoughts that enter your mind How do we, as individuals, as people, get away from misery? How do we allow ourselves to elevate the game, to go higher than we've ever gone before? How do we escape from the misery because misery has no place in your life misery that's exactly what it is misery doesn't bring Misery is on a mission to take everything away from you. What is misery doing for you?

What has misery done for you lately? Has it given you everything that you need? Has it made you a better person? Do you feel that all you know is sorrow why do you allow misery to handcuff you to chain you down the mind is a powerful weapon

it belongs to you and everything that you think. Therefore you shall be. Be greater. Than your fears. Be stronger. Than your doubts. Because your mind.

Is very powerful. Bring in the goodness. Absorb the right energy. Moving with a purpose. Conditioning your mind is what this is about. Every day it's not going to be a good good day but every day is a blessed day because you are above the ground you are walking tall there is no time for sorrow there's no time to give up this is the opportunity.

An opportunity of a lifetime. An opportunity of a lifetime. There is a light inside of every one of us. An ember that burns and begs us to become more than what we have ever been. It's our aspirations that must become our allies. I noticed that everything that I've accomplished over the course of my life, I accomplished with a new set of beliefs and a new set of habits. I noticed I was able to make things happen when I destroyed the door in the room. See, I don't care what your goal is. It could be relationships. It could be to lose weight. It could be to make more money.

It could be to become something nobody in your family has ever been. The moment that you destroy the door, the way out, in the room of your dream, that's when you make it happen. What you do while you are in pain will echo through the ages. Scrape the grill of your past and get all that junk out of there. Of every memory, of every failure. You need to unplug from everybody and everything that is telling you that you cannot have your future. That you cannot have this goal, that you can't do what's on your heart to do.

You gotta unplug, unplug, unplug gotta unplug unplug unplug unplug unplug unplug there are too many people in your life that keep telling you that you are not qualified that you don't have what it takes that you will never be able to accomplish because your resume ain't long enough because you don't have the experience because you are unfit and so you gotta unplug from all the negative voices you gotta unplug from everything and everybody that's telling you, you cannot have that dream that you are not qualified to have that dream. You got to unplug, got to unplug. It may hurt because there are some people that you're going to have to let go of. There's some people that, that can't come with you to the next level.

They're not qualified to fly at the frequency that you're flying at. They cannot come. You got to get in touch with you. So you can't have the dream unless you know you. Everybody wants this dream. Everybody wants this lifestyle, but they don't know themselves. And so you need to take some physical evaluation, some emotional and psychological evaluation, spiritual evaluation, and you got to take some physical evaluation, some emotional and psychological evaluation, spiritual evaluation. And you've got to figure out, OK, what works and what doesn't? And what are my boundaries and what are my limitations and what am I capable of and what do I need to work on? And then you need to connect with the people that believe in your dream. Life moves at the speed of your relationships, connections, and circles.

You need to ask for forgiveness. You need to forgive yourself. You need to reprioritize your activities. Everybody wants the dream to come true, but nobody wants to reprioritize their activities. Nobody wants to hack into their habitual nature and build new habits that are going to give you the future that you seek that you seek after if not now then when dream big start small got a dream big start small act now dream big start small act now stop waiting for the temperature to change stop waiting for your feelings to be in check stop waiting for everything to line up. It's never going to line up. It's never going to be perfect. You just got

to jump. You just have to jump. There are no roses without rain. If you can remember that, then you will always see adversity as advantage and obstacle as opportunity. Know this, that your process may be messy, but your mess will become your message. So what is your why? Because if your why is powerful enough, then you can persevere through the process. What is it? Find it. Define it. Be reminded that you can, you will, you must never give up. The actions that you take, the moves that you make will echo throughout the ages as there is a generation of people who are attached to your why. And if you don't succeed, they'll never believe. So make it happen. I've heard it all in my career.

All the bullshit excuses and the lies people tell themselves. They say things like, I'll start Monday. It's not my fault. It's not fair. I'm too damn tired. Or my personal favorite, I don't have enough time. If you have something to change, if you want to change something. Change it. Your heart, your life, your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility alone.

Tough love gets the job done. But being liked doesn't get you a raise. Life is not a game. Life is living. Life is hard. Life is tough. But it's those that can persevere. It's those that can overcome. It's those that push through. It's those that power through all the setbacks, all the failures, all the suck of their life that go to another level. See we all have a story. But the only way your story is ever told, the only way your story is ever heard is if you overcome whatever it is that you're going through.

As you go through the challenges of life and you look at it and embrace whatever comes to you, don't run from it. Step toward it. Don't try and duck it like most people do. See, most people want it easy. See, easy come, easy what easy go see but when you go at what you're going to deal with and you deal with the difficulties of it when you handle those hard things close at hand making those hard decisions right now that you don't want to make. Learning those things that you don't like to do, but you know that in order for you to get where you want to go, this is one of the hoops that you have to flip through. And I'm saying to you, whatever you

got to do, do it, because if you don't, life is going to whoop you until you surrender and i let loose i let loose on the world all the aggravation all the bullying all the setbacks all the failures all the people that told me i couldn't do it all the fear i let it go you will never exceed your highest expectation. Never. That's a guarantee. You used to dream, my friend. When did you stop? You used to have hope, my friend. When did you stop? I came by today to give you a little boost.

I came by today to reach out a hand as a friend and pull you up. Sometimes when you're down, you need the hand of a friend to pull you up. I'm not coming here to put you down. I'm coming here to build you up because all you need is a little nudge. I know how you've been wired. I know how you've been created. I know you've been sucker punched. I've been sucker punched too, but get up. Down, but not out. Down, but not out. Down, but not out. Here's the definition of down.

Downward, going in a direction. Downward, being at a low position. Or on the ground, floor, or bottom. Here's the good news about being down. You are already on a solid foundation. If you can look up, you can get up. You are down but not out. How long will you be down, my friend? It's a temporary condition.

It's up to you how long it lasts. It doesn't have to be a life sentence. Being on the bottom is temporary. Down but not defeated. Down but not out. You feel sorry for yourself here, you dwell

on it here, but do you like it here? If you like the bottom, I can't help you. If you hate the bottom, we can work. If you hate the bottom, I can't help you. If you hate the bottom, we can work. If you hate the bottom, I got you. Because if you got your head, you can get you to the top. It takes time to get to the bottom.

In other words, it's a process. Even falling is a process. It's not instant. Failing is a process and so is success. Sailing is a process. Failing is a process it's not instant failing is a process and so is success sailing is a process failing is a process and so is success in fact failure does not happen overnight it takes time to fail but success doesn't happen overnight It takes time to be successful. Can I ask you the question? When you were down, did you get back up?

The same way you get to the bottom is the same way you get to the top. Constant activity. Constant activity will get you to the top and constant activity will get you to the bottom. Doing nothing is an activity. Being lazy is an activity. To sit on the couch is an activity. To not want to work is an activity.

In fact, you spend time trying to get out of work instead of finding work. You try to get out of work instead of finding work. Here's the truth. To get to the top requires consistency. Getting to the bottom does too. Getting to the top requires consistency. Getting to the bottom does too. I have never seen a hard working person on the bottom. I have never seen a hard working person on

the bottom. Your condition is temporary. Only you can make it happen. Only you can change the momentum. At any moment, you can shift. At any moment, you can change direction. You gotta create habits to get a harvest. But if you don't like your harvest, you gotta change the seed. If you don't like your harvest, you gotta change the seed.

On a daily basis, what kind of seeds are you planting? Can I ask you a question? What are you working on right now? Are you working your way to the bottom? Are you working your way to the top? Either way, you're going to get a harvest, my friend. We can't stop the harvest. All we can do is control what kind of harvest we get. Are you working on a successful harvest? Are you working on a harvest of failure? I mean, every day you're working on something. It's one thing to be down.

It's another thing to be out. You hear the term all the time, down and out. Those are two different things. I'm not worried about you being down. I've been down myself. I'm not worried about you being down. You've been down before. We all being down. I've been down myself. I'm not worried about you being down. You've been down before. We've all been down.

It's nothing new. But that out is what I worry about. Out means you gave up. Out means you lost hope. It's okay to be down, my friend. It happens to all of us, but it's not okay to be out. Don't you ever give yourself permission to be down my friend it happens to all of us, but it's not okay to be out

Don't you ever give yourself permission to be out? You may be down But you're never out You got to start talking to yourself The best way to motivate you is you got to start talking to yourself Repeat these words after me. No one can stop me, but me no one can stop me but me no one can stop me but me here's the truth no one can stop you but you you need to talk to yourself you need to encourage yourself you need to strengthen yourself start waiting for other people stop waiting for other people and you start

encouraging you and saying to yourself it's gonna work out it's gonna be okay I'm down right now but but I'm not out. My condition is temporary. Only I can make it permanent. Don't you ever confuse the temporary with permanent. Every car has a spare tire. And every now and then you got to use it, but it's not designed for long-term use. A spare tire is temporary. Do you feel like you're on a spare tire right now i get it but we got to take that spare tire off and we got to get you

something permanent we got to get you some support we got to get you some encouragement we got to get something that can handle the load take that spare tire off take that discouragement off take that depression off take that fear off it's gonna be temporary but we can't make it permanent it's gonna be temporary but we can't make it permanent you weren't designed to be down my friend you weren't designed to be down long open up your mouth and talk to yourself. Open up your mouth and talk to you. Open up your mouth and motivate you.

Say it out loud, I may be down, but I'm not out. As long as there's breath in my body, I'm not out. Get up right now and move around. Get up right now and get your body moving. Get up right now and go for a walk And look at the birds and the trees And the dirt and the grass And the moon and the sun

Life keeps moving Life keeps happening Only you stood still And that's how you get down We need some activity Activity will get you to the top And activity will get you to the bottom What kind of activity are you working on?

What kind of harvest are you preparing for? Move around and get your mind moving What kind of activity are you working on? What kind of harvest are you prepared for? Move around and get your mind moving. Move around and get your imagination. You're convinced you're sick. Only you will make it home you will love again you will thrive again you will smile again if you give yourself permission you will win again

if you give yourself permission you will breathe again if you give yourself permission you will hope again if you give yourself permission you will dream again if you only give yourself permission. You will dream again if you only give yourself permission. You know what down feels like.

But I want to encourage you to be strong. You tell people I used to be down but not anymore. Now I'm wiser. My heart is healing. I'm better for it. It might have hurt but now I know wiser my heart is healed and I'm better for it it might have hurt but now I know what love is I know what it hurts

I know what success is all I gotta do is mount up once again and I won't be denied this time you can get motivated my friend but you gotta learn how to motivate yourself if you live long enough, I guarantee you one thing about life, you're gonna have some ups.

You're gonna have some downs too. It's called life. It's okay to be down, my friend. But it's never okay to be out. Your condition is temporary. Only you can make it permanent down but not out down but not out you might be down but you're never out your condition is temporary and only you can make it permanent i want you to make the declaration right now i want you to make that announcement

right now i'm back i don't care if you to make the announcement right now. I'm back. I don't care if you got to walk around your house and just say, I'm back. Call all your friends and say, I was down, but I'm back. Let everybody know I'm back. I was down. Let everybody know, oh, I was down. You saw me, but I'm back.
