Starting point is 00:00:00 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 night. The night only lasts for a few hours, and then the day finally dawns and the shadows flea. away.
Starting point is 00:00:33 You say you want to change, but you're still making the same choices. You want to grow, but you're stuck in the same patterns. You want to feel more confident, more grounded, less anxious, but you keep showing up in the same ways. And that right there is the fundamental problem. Change doesn't just come with time. It comes with action, with practice. Real sustainable change is found in the pause, the moment between stimulus and response.
Starting point is 00:01:00 It's a fact of life. Winters follow the fall, the harvest. Winter comes after fall. Night comes after day. Difficulty follows opportunity. Recession always comes after expansion. It's been the rhythm of life for the last 6,000 years of recorded history. So the winters are going to come.
Starting point is 00:01:26 The winter of sickness, the winter of disappointment. The winter of devastation, social winters, economic winters, personal winters, when your heart is smashed in a thousand pieces, and the nights are unusually long, it's simply called wintertime. And that's what I'm telling you. It's possible for you to conquer your winters. We all had our test and really show how strong we really are. Test that we don't even know Maybe losing our parents at a young age Really come to, go and overcoming that adversity in life
Starting point is 00:02:05 What happened when you deal with that adversity? What are you going to do? You're going to let you lay down for it or you're going to keep fighting it And that's what life's about Fighting adversity, to overcome an adversity And see what kind of person Are you going to be bitter and mean because life wasn't kind to you? Or you figured
Starting point is 00:02:21 it wasn't kind to you? But you go to say, fuck that and live life to his fullest means. And be happy. is that action kills fear. See, everybody sits around because you're afraid and you're nervous and you're anxious and you're depressed and all those things are real, but those feelings are killing your ability to take action.
Starting point is 00:02:41 And action is the only thing that changes your life. You don't have to have this. You don't have to go around telling everybody your sad story of what happened to you and why you're this way. You can go and rewrite the story. You can grab the pen back from the hands of the abusers, of the bullies, of those that created limiting beliefs, and you can rewrite the story yourself. In all the blank pages that exist in your book of life. But that only happens when you start doing the self-work, when you commit to self-mastery. And I'm telling you is not just by reading a couple of self-help books.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Figuring out who you are at your core, at your essence, what makes you tick, and only then will you be able to set higher standards of expectations for yourself. Only then will you begin to reach the milestone of impact, income, influence, inspiration. God, it's such a fucking cool thing to be able to break through the seals of all your limiting beliefs in life. There's going to be things that go on that are out of your control. The worst thing you can do is let something that's out of your control, control you. Get control of yourself, get control of your emotions.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Don't get angry, don't get frustrated. Instead, stay calm and figure out how to move forward. There's a terminology and psychiatry called relational ill. You've heard people say, you make me sick. Some people can make you sick that if you fool around with them long enough will send you to an early grade that will drive your blood pressure up,
Starting point is 00:04:37 that will turn your hair gray? Who is that you need to get out of your life? You need to ask yourself to question, what is this relationship doing to me? Might be your spouse. Might be friends. Might be your job. Making you sick, stressing you out.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And you being a volunteer victim, are you willing to die for? Listen, if there's only one in pedestal, you must be on it. The idealized version of you must be on it. Not me. Not any other guru or influencer or thought leader. You get on the pedestal. You become the idealized version.
Starting point is 00:05:13 You become the hero in your life's story. If your life is a movie and the movie ends, do you want your name at the end and the credits to be the hero and the star? or do you want it to be taxing driver number two? We start to trap ourselves within our own mind. And our mind is this big barrier, this big wall. And once we get to pain and suffering, that wall gets bigger and bigger and bigger. And the mind says, it's time to quit.
Starting point is 00:05:52 If we're able to find out different ways to get around that, The first thing you have to do is you have to calm your mind down. The very first thing you have to do is don't give yourself a way out. You got to trick yourself also and say, you know what, I might quit. I'm not going to quit right now. If your mind knows I'm not going to quit, I'm not going to quit. You're not going to quit. Let your mind think it has a little control over you.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Then when you're able to calm down, you're able to think. And then realize I caught the cookie jar is you have to have something that fuels you. you in this time. So once you calm down, what's going to get you out of the chair? You got to remember that I've been in times just as hard as this. So I reflected back on my life. Most of us were raised to become ordinary. And I'm not putting down ordinary, but ordinary is just not good enough for me. Ordinary is you go through your life and you fill out the forms and you pay your taxes and you do what your parents tell you and you're honorable and you're honest and you're a good citizen and then you die extraordinary is something very very different
Starting point is 00:07:05 this is about recognizing within yourself that there's something very very extraordinary that you haven't been trained to believe in to come to a place where you can apply it and put it into your life you can go way beyond ordinary you can go way beyond just being average you can go way beyond just being average. All of us are extraordinary. We just have to come to believe it. There's things that you know you're supposed to do as a human being. Things that you know are going to improve your life. Do those things. There's things that you know are going to make you a worse person and make your life worse. Don't do those things. Don't do the things that are making you weaker. Start doing the things that are going to make you stronger and smarter and faster and
Starting point is 00:07:51 healthier and going to make you a better human being. Things that you have in you that you don't even know, but until you get outside of your comfort zone, you will never discover it. You have something special. You have greatness within you. But in order to manifest your greatness, you've got to put yourself in a perpetual state of discomfort. Yes, you've got to challenge yourself.
Starting point is 00:08:15 You've got to raise a bar and yourself. You've got to get busy. You've got to work your plan. It's time for me to do. do me, to pursue my dream, to work my planet, to implement the things that I want for myself and for my family and for my kids. And what is your legacy? What do you want to do for yourself? Most people quit and never finish what they started is because they continually stack L's instead of W's. You probably do things to set yourself up to fail in life. You set your
Starting point is 00:08:49 alarm clock to wake up at a certain time and then you hit that snooze button what did you do you stack the l if you think that you're meant for big goals and big dream change lots of lives and impact and inspire people well you probably need a lot of confidence if you're always stacking losses hitting the snooze button saying you're going to go work out and you don't saying you're going to eat clean and you don't saying you're going to read a few pages out of a book and you don't all those things seem small and trivial until they add up over days weeks months and years and you have hardened your subconscious into knowing that you are an imposter, that you are not a promise
Starting point is 00:09:23 keeper, and therefore your reputation with yourself erodes. Your reputation with yourself, as it turns out, is your confidence. You will hold sturdy against anything that's thrown at you. Based on that firm inner conviction that you will not falter, you will not flounder, you will not fail. When I wake up in the morning, I don't think, am I motivated to go do what I'm supposed to do? No, I don't think about it for one millisecond. When the alarm clock goes off, I have no thought about whether this is easy, whether this is hard, whether I want to do it, whether I don't want to do it.
Starting point is 00:10:01 None of that matters. It's an emotionless, thoughtless discipline. When the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you get out of bed, and you go do what you're supposed to do. I don't care how it feels. I don't care if it's easy or hard. It doesn't even matter to me. It's just a reaction, it's a discipline, and it's life. And that's the way I choose to live my life.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Our mind wants to protect us. The mind is like, honestly, it has a tactical advantage over us. It knows our deepest, darkest fears or insecurities. It knows where we start to feel, uh, we start getting that doubt creeping and says, hey, man, you know what, man, maybe this isn't good. Let's go back home to the wife. this is not comfortable so in that moment the mind directs us
Starting point is 00:10:53 it's a protective mechanism it really saves us from discovering that the mind is like I want to be in charge of you I don't want you to be in charge of me so it tells you let's just stop right here but once you start breaking through that barrier and start breaking down that governor
Starting point is 00:11:11 the governor that you've put in your mind because we forget we are in control of our mind. So I'm here to tell you if you can't think for yourself, if you can't make the money, if you're starting to go broke, that's exactly what the opposition wants.
Starting point is 00:11:31 No, we put in our minds what we should do. But we believe our mind is telling us, it's get us all this feedback. We have to reprogram it and tell us, no, no, no, we're good. We're good, we go. This sucks.
Starting point is 00:11:47 but it's okay don't go around telling people what your story is everybody has a story 80% don't care and 20% glad is you it doesn't matter about what happens to you what matters is what are you going to do about it small daily seemingly
Starting point is 00:12:13 insignificant improvements when done consistently over time lead to stunning results. That is how you get to transformation. That is how you become a needle mover. Kobe didn't become Kobe because he made a revolutionary change one day in a practice. Kobe became Kobe. The great women and men who changed the world, Mandela, Mother Teresa, Mahath, Maghambi, Rosa Parks,
Starting point is 00:12:45 Martin Luther King, June. The great state leaders, they became who they were by the small, daily, seemingly insignificant things that they did every day. You guys didn't understand what you don't have to do. You don't have to work hard. You're not to be right. You don't have to do more than once you're quiet of you. You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. But you also don't have to win.
Starting point is 00:13:12 You don't have to be a success in life. So the greatest things in life, they're sacrifice, discipline. And that's why so few people achieve great days. Because they don't want to sacrifice. They don't want to discipline for some greater. So you see all these people that have great days in life that you look up to? It's because they were sacrificed and disciplined long before you ever knew them. Because suffering will introduce a man to his eye itself.
Starting point is 00:13:39 And when you do that, you begin to build such high levels of confidence. And you become so congruent with the man that you want to be, the man that you love, respect and admire. What It is the worst question you'd never asked yourself. I failed. It's a million times better than What It? Because that's all got a did something. Showed up 10 times more of the man and says, What if? What it, man?
Starting point is 00:14:08 What it is an ongoing debate inside yourself that you can never come to conclusion on. I got out and failed this I know. Otherwise, what if, every minute of every day for your existence, battle inside your head trying to turn out the voice to where you can't. We wind about between his clothes. Something you can do but sit back and wonder what hand? Nope, don't like that, man. I'd much rather kick the gamble and lose. He got to be not all right to get all right.
Starting point is 00:14:36 You got to have been through something to know something. knowing that as we begin to explore new horizons and new vistas in life that as we begin to focus on developing ourselves as we begin to elevate ourselves and not to follow the crowd practice makes improvement you can always better your best you can always go beyond anything that you have ever done you're never hit a state of perfection you're always bigger than what you do And so all you're looking for new breakthroughs through practice and practice and practice, you'll get better and better and better. And there's still some things that will happen to you that will catch you on the blind side
Starting point is 00:15:27 that you did not anticipate. 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 laws that, 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 face adversity. Adversity breeds character. We have to be willing to go through hardship, through suffering. Don't shy away from any of that, because it just makes you stronger. if you are not paying attention
Starting point is 00:16:16 if you are on cruise control then your your mind is not under your own control we can't be in cruise control you can't let your mind be in cruise control you have to be cognizant of what you're thinking you have to be cognizant you have to be
Starting point is 00:16:33 aware of how you are being enforced don't never let know Anybody. Anybody you take your belief in yourself away from you because they're hurting your side. Don't you never let nobody do that? Always believing who you are in the darkest moments, man. In the darkest moments when you're at that pain, when you're at the bottom, Lord, that you're going to get back up. But you've got to believe that you won't get back up. Make it a resolution of discipline to get better, smarter, healthier, more productive.
Starting point is 00:17:07 To eat cleaner, live more. To go and do. Do not waste your life. Set your goals high. Quit thinking about what's wrong. Start thinking what's right. One little more, hate a little less. You have no idea what you're capable of doing. You have nothing in this world to conquer or to challenge or to transcend apart from your mind.
Starting point is 00:17:36 All your neighbors live here. Your enemies and friends live here. your gods and demons live here and yourself imagined lives here 100% means that you are 100% accountable for your life take 100% responsibility
Starting point is 00:17:57 for your choices your life will be determined far more by the choices you may than it will by your circumstances intellect and talent carry no weight unless you're willing to make the correct choices the sacrifice is a contract with the future but it's not a contract with any particular person
Starting point is 00:18:21 it's a contract with the spirit of humanity as such it's something like that and so when you think about it that way that should make you faint with amazement because that is such a bloody amazing idea to come up with that idea that you can bargain with the future we suffer what do we do about it we figure out how to bargain with the future the work comes before the belief
Starting point is 00:18:47 and what that actually means is is that you're going to have to do some work and you're going to have to keep doing it and you're going to have to do it when you're not seeing a result and then a result will begin to sprout as you do this we're going to have faith all right and when that result starts to sprout start to have some belief you say hey Hey, shit, I can do this. This is actually working. And then you work a little bit more
Starting point is 00:19:10 and a little bit more success sprouts. And that's how this goes and that's what that's saying means. Control the things you think about. You can actually control how you feel. You can control what you think and you can definitely control what you do. Do not be a slave to influence.
Starting point is 00:19:33 You've got to be the master of your mind. You've got to control your mind. You've got to exercise mind control. That means you've got to pay attention and beware all day. That's what you've got to do. Stop trying to be a traffic policeman in your own head. Let it run. Just remain detached like you're witnessing.
Starting point is 00:20:04 The weakness is never involved. in the scene that it's witnessing because the moment you become involved in the scene you become part of the scene that the weakness has to stand apart just keep witnessing first your traffic the mind stuff and it's daily it's your family friends the job and money things or weather everything that's coming up so we come from a generation when something is broken we don't throw the way we fix it when you can be happy in the midst of hardship then you see the true potential of the mind. When you can't control what's happening, control how you respond to it. That's where your power is. Control what you can control. I can control my attitude. I can control
Starting point is 00:20:43 my words. I can control my perspective. I can control the lens of which I see. Because if I can control what I can control in the moment, what's happening externally is not going to affect and impact my true potential and my true advancement as a person. We're built to walk uphill. And when you reach the pinnacle of the hill you want to stop and appreciate the vision but the next thing you want is a higher hill in the distance because it's
Starting point is 00:21:11 from the uphill climb that we derive our value and I mean this technically so almost all the positive emotion we feel especially the emotion that fills us with enthusiasm that's experienced in relationship to a goal
Starting point is 00:21:25 you want a goal that you can never attain right so you can always move closer to the goal that recedes as you move towards you because as you pursue that goal you put yourself together and your life does get better and richer and more abundant your life and you are entirely up to you you will eventually live the life that you design. So give 100%. It will bring fulfillment and hope and light and joy into your life, regardless of where you come from, regardless of those traumatic or difficult circumstances
Starting point is 00:22:16 that want to weigh you down and pull you away from your purpose here and life. When you give 100%, you will change your story. I ask you this question, do you really love yourself? And the reason I'm asking you this is, if you really loved yourself, would you still be accepting less? If you really loved yourself, would you still be settling for less?
Starting point is 00:22:42 Which you still be doing less? Which you still be around less? Which you still be that environment? Would you still be just accepting what the world gives you? Would you still just believe in opinions put on your life that have no idea? the plan that God has for your life, would you give a half-ass effort with your kids and parenting,
Starting point is 00:22:58 which you give a half that effort and your relationships, your friendships, your business. But the truth is, the matter is, we don't really love ourselves if we're not giving our best effort to ourself. So if you're in this phase, where it doesn't feel like it's worth it, or it doesn't feel like it's very fun,
Starting point is 00:23:15 just remember that you keep going and you do not let your feelings dictate what your actions will be, The results will always be there. To find your way in life, it's not an external search. It's an internal search. Because God equipped you the moment he gave birth to you. God equipped you at birth with what you needed.
Starting point is 00:23:42 He gave all of you a gift, all of you. Every last one of you, you're gifted. God never created a soul without giving them a gift. all of you sitting in here were given a gift at birth he put it inside you you ain't got to look under the ocean it ain't on the mountain it ain't under no rocks he gave you a gift it is the thing that you do the absolute best with the least amount of effort that's your god-given gift that's the thing you should pursue the scripture says your gift will make room for you and put you in the presence of important men that's what your gift will do for it If you break, if you break, the fight isn't over. In fact, if you break, the fight is just beginning. And as you crawl up and out of that dismal and wretched place, as you rise above what you were, and as you take the form of
Starting point is 00:24:51 of who you are supposed to be you will see that in the very act of standing up in the very act of fighting on you will become and you will remain unbroken if you look deep in your heart your joy the more joy you can hold
Starting point is 00:25:14 comes from the amount of sorrow that has been your burden and so the ego and our scared selves judge tragedy or maybe it's not tragedy maybe it's adversity as bad and let us rush away from it do not run away from your suffering befriended appreciate it embrace it for there your joy lives And for there your joy lies.
Starting point is 00:25:50 And that's why the greatest amongst us have been hurt the most. Anyone who's successful has failed much more than you know. Like you look at somebody who's unbelievable athletes, somebody who's an unbelievable entertainer, speaker, communicator, artist. They didn't just show up that way. They are being rewarded in public for what you practice in private consistently. We're all rewarded in public for the things that we consistently practice and refine in private. And so you see that person. You think they're a genius.
Starting point is 00:26:29 But if you watch, they've been failing more than anybody else. They just failed more often, so they learn quicker. Do the interior work required to get to a level where the negative opinions and the chattering voices of the The cynics do not knock you off your ambition. They do not knock you off your vision. They do not deplete your gain. You see, that's the interior capability and capacity that's required from someone who wants to really be a history maker. You have to be so strong in your own skin that when people dismiss your ideas or they don't understand it or they laugh at you, you simply keep on going.
Starting point is 00:27:11 The time is now. the time is now to express and for people to believe in themselves the time is now for it to be okay to be great people in this world shun people for being great there's something you want to do and I believe that all of us
Starting point is 00:27:29 are born with a purpose that all of us have something that we are supposed to do that all of us have some goodness within us and that goodness gives us a responsibility to manifest our greatness and when you know that you can feel it in your guts and you know that you're deliberately
Starting point is 00:27:48 operating below your potential you've gotten comfortable you stop expanding you stop stretching you stop challenging yourself let me share something else with you not only it's possible for you to have your dream but it's necessary massive action
Starting point is 00:28:10 is the cure all Massive action is the cure-all. If you're having a difficult time with something, your relationship is at where you want it to be, your finances are not where you want to be, your body's not where you want to be, your business is not where you want to be. You need to take massive action.
Starting point is 00:28:31 If that doesn't work, try something else. If that doesn't work, try something else. Keep going with massive action, and you will find the way because it will give you momentum. What are you saving yourself for? I get it. This workout is hard.
Starting point is 00:29:03 This training is hard. This practice is hard. This is hard. And so you decide to hold back to reserve some of that energy, to reserve some of that effort. I'm going to save it. But what are you saving it for? What are you saving yourself for? You're going to go to sleep that night.
Starting point is 00:29:27 You're going to get to restore that energy. So why would you not empty out everything you can possibly give in the day? Why wouldn't you push yourself to your absolute limits? Those willing to risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. So when you get tired, when you get to that point where you feel like stopping because it's challenging, what are you saving yourself for? I'm not motivated. I'm obsessed. Obsessed with every part of the process.
Starting point is 00:30:06 I've romanticized every aspect of it, the process of understanding who I am. what I'm here to do and how to do it. And I put it in simple terms on purpose, because I've found that the more words you use to describe something so deeply complex, the more you water it down, I know at least part of you understands, not because we live a similar life,
Starting point is 00:30:28 not because we share the same beliefs, but because we both possess a soul that come from the same origin. The soul is what allows us to feel at the deepest level. It translates what is beyond our capability to logically process, and allows us to feel it in its purest form. I am obsessed because I feel life. I am immersed in it because I believe evil disguises itself in your own thoughts. It will whisper that your vision is too unorthodox, too far-fetched to be real.
Starting point is 00:30:57 And it will make you believe that doubt is your own. But what is pure to the soul? What resonates at the deepest level needs no rationalization, no analysis, no justification. It only needs to be accepted, felt, and embraced. When you do this, when you surrender what is true within you, you will be guided, not by temptation, not by deception, not by the manipulation of evil, but by the undeniable pull of your soul. Do you not understand that the more comfortable you get, the more uncomfortable life gets, the less that the less, less action you take, the more consequences you have, the more you let those bills pile up, the less work you put in, the more food you eat, the fatter you get, all these things are going to
Starting point is 00:31:47 start piling up on you, bro. And bro, I know you weren't built to be average. You were built to have riches. You were built to have the body you want, the physique that you want, the dreams that you want. You were built to have these things. And yet you're content with being average. At the end of the day, the keys are in your hands, bro. It's on you to go make the shit count. I can't say this enough. Stop waiting. You could get hit by. a bus next week. Do not waste your life waiting, worrying, or wishing for things to change. You got to want it enough to do the work. Your dreams have a brick path that will get paved every single day, one brick at a time. Stop killing your potential by thinking and doubting.
Starting point is 00:32:34 You guys have dreams. We've got a world to change. You got money to make. You got money to make. Get your butts out there and go do it. The answer of when should I is almost always right now. Nobody has been happy that they've sat on something that's been eating away at them in the history of life. The answer's now. There is no competition in being successful because everyone else is preoccupied with being a professional and making excuses. Eating healthy is not expensive, but people a lot of. themselves to the bitter end about that, all just to avoid a bit of effort.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Everyone's got 30 minutes to an hour a day to set aside and work out, but God forbid we put some time into being a little bit uncomfortable. We know exactly what to do to be better, and we know exactly what successful people did to get to where they are. And if you happen to be a part of the 1% that actually follows soon, congrats on the free pass to the top. bro start over just start over it's a brand new day it doesn't matter who you were yesterday or last week or last month or last year it doesn't matter if people know you to be a certain person or to have certain personality traits who do you want to be today what personality traits do you want to have today what do you want to value today what a lot of people don't realize is that at any point
Starting point is 00:34:01 you can just change who you are you can go from being selfish to being selfless you can go from being undisciplined to being disciplined. You can go from being a complete asshole to being kind. All of that is a choice. All of that is within your power. Zero people on earth are stopping you from doing that. It is your own discomfort. It is your own unwillingness to change. You are the only person stopping you from embodying the traits you want to embody and being the person that you ultimately want to be. There's a lot of shit you have no control over. This is one of the things you do. If you are not behaving like the person you want to be and you're not doing the things that the person you want to be would do that is on you so if you don't like what's going on start over see the thing about life
Starting point is 00:34:47 we're going to die right eventually we're going to die or our legacy and live on the impact can be non-perishable forever but it's got to be built right or we got to take it down to the time we have right now if you want it bad enough you find a way if you you you don't want it bad enough you find an excuse just like life itself man you go after things you triumph even if you fail you get back up and you continue to try and fail continue to try and fail and ensuring you never fail to try because nothing's impossible just a spelling of impossible it's spelled impossible There are two versions of you, the one you are now, and the one you could have been.
Starting point is 00:35:44 The version of you that stayed disciplined, the version of you that didn't make excuses. The version of you that chased their potential, that used every hour wisely, that didn't let fear, doubt, or procrastination hold them back. Somewhere, in an alternate reality, that version of you exists. And the real question is, how far away are you from them? How much time have you wasted? How many hours, days, years have slipped through your fingers because you told yourself you'd start tomorrow? How many moments have you spent scrolling, avoiding, waiting?
Starting point is 00:36:27 while that version of you was out there building, learning, growing. You don't get that time back, but you do have a choice. Time is the one thing you can't get more of. You can make more money. You can rebuild relationships. You can recover from failures. But time, once it's gone, it's gone. The biggest mistake people make is thinking they have more of it than they do.
Starting point is 00:37:07 They say, I'll get serious next year. I'll start working on my goals when I'm ready. I'll focus when the timing is right. And suddenly, years are gone. You look back and realise that the only thing's stopping you from becoming, who you were meant to be, was you, the time was always there. You just chose to waste it. The regret of wasted potential, if you could meet the version of yourself that never wasted
Starting point is 00:37:43 time, how would that conversation go? Would they be stronger? Would they be wiser? Would they have the life you always dreamed of but never committed to? And more importantly, what would they say to you? Would they look you in the eyes and say, you had the same opportunities I had, the same hours in the day, the same potential? But I used mine, and you didn't. That's the kind of regret you don't want to live with.
Starting point is 00:38:11 The regret of knowing that you could have been so much more if you had just stopped waiting. Stop lying to yourself. The most dangerous lie you tell yourself is, I have time. Number you have right now. That's it. The future isn't guaranteed. And even if you live a long life, every day that passes is one less day. You have to become the version of yourself. You are meant to be. You have to wake up. You have to get honest about the fact that every wasted moment is a choice. A choice to stay the same instead of grow. A choice to delay your potential. A choice to settle for a life that is less than what you're capable of. You keep waiting for motivation. You keep waiting for the perfect moment. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:39:11 It's not coming. You will never feel fully ready. The perfect moment will never appear. The only way to become the version of you that doesn't waste time is to move before you feel ready. To take action before you feel like it, because action creates momentum and momentum destroys procrastination. Get ruthless.
Starting point is 00:39:37 About your time, successful people, they don't have more hours in the day than you. They just protect their time like their life depends on it. Because it does. Look at your daily habits. Look at where your hours go. How much time are you spending on distractions? How much time are you spending, complaining, scrolling, watching other people live their lives instead of living yours? Now imagine if you took back even half of that time and put it into building yourself instead.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Who would you be a year from now? You don't need more time. You need to stop wasting the time you already have. Live with urgency. most people don't realize how short life is until it's too late they coast through life as if they're going to live forever
Starting point is 00:40:34 but the truth is you don't have forever if you knew you only had one year left to become the best version of yourself how would you live would you waste time would you delay your goals or would you attack every single day
Starting point is 00:40:53 like it was your last chance to become everything you were meant to be because the reality is you don't know how much time you have so start living like it's running out because it is make the choice right now at the end of the day
Starting point is 00:41:16 this is your life no one is coming to save you no one is going to force you you to get serious. You either decide to become your greatest self, or you let time keep slipping away. Right now, in this moment, you have two choices. Stay the same. Keep wasting time. Keep waiting. Keep living beneath your potential. Commit right now, today. Not tomorrow, not next week, now. Because the version of you that could have been, they're waiting for you. And every second you waste is another step further away from becoming them.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Make the choice. Be who you were meant to be. yourself, what have we got to do tomorrow, just don't quit today. Little step, tiny step, tomorrow. What are we going to do? Well, I don't know, but I'm not going to do that today. Just today, all right? Just make one good decision today. When you go to sleep at night, think about your goals for the coming day. Make a list for each day of all the goals, the little goals you're going to accomplish that day. Keep a journal and write down your roles on a regular basis. When you're driving through the day, think about your goals. When you're talking to other people, think about your goals. You see, you do become what you think about most of the time. You do achieve what
Starting point is 00:43:06 you think about most of the time. So all successful people think about their roles most of the time. You will never feel ready to do things that scare you. You will never feel ready to jump off the cliff. You will never feel ready to take that leap. Your brain is designed to protect you and change your cliars risk. And so you are protecting yourself by saying maybe tomorrow. If you want to change your life, you must make a decision to change your life. It takes power. It takes effort. It takes difficulty to break the old you, to break those habits, to break free of the chains that have been holding you back. That's where it takes the most effort.
Starting point is 00:43:52 And then once you climb up and you start to get altitude, you start to get elevation, gravity becomes weaker. Your old, weaker self doesn't have the same influence that it had. It's easy to want it. It's easy to think about it.
Starting point is 00:44:08 It's easy to dream about it. It's easy to tell people you're going to do it. What's hard is getting up in the morning and doing it. What's hard is doing it when all your friends are telling you not to do it. What's hard is having everything in your life tell you that you should pull the plug on what you're doing right now and they'll get a normal job like everyone else, go be like everyone else, go lend the life that everyone else wants you to live, but showing up anyway. That's what's hard, but that's what's actually going to get you where
Starting point is 00:44:31 you want to go. Most people never succeed in life because they're waiting for conditions to be perfect. They're waiting for the sun to shine, the temperature to be right, all the stars to align and I'm here to tell you guys that will never happen conditions will never be perfect things will never align there will always be a reason for you to put off what should be done right now for a later time that is a success and life truth A warrior is sent. A warrior has or feels the obligation. If something is out of balance out there, I'm going to fix it. Or you try. And if you try and you fail, you try harder next time. But you don't give up. Starting tomorrow, what are you going to do that'll make a change in your life's direction? Good question.
Starting point is 00:45:57 What are you going to do starting tomorrow that'll make a difference? Now, see, if you don't do something starting tomorrow that'll make a difference, guess what? It's going to be the same. And see, that way, you can guess what the next fight. years are going to be like. Look at the last five. Because the next five are going to be like the last five unless you made your key tomorrow change it all. Or change a little or change something or don't change. It's choice time. You can do whatever you want. But that hardest part of changing is breaking that gravitational force in the beginning the stationary inertia of habit
Starting point is 00:46:50 has been controlling you for seven 10 15 years leave your weak old self behind and go get after you everybody has a turn back moment you have a moment where you can go forward it or you can give up. But the thing you have to keep in mind before you give up is that if you give up, the guarantee is it will never happen. That's the guarantee of quitting, that it will never happen no way under the serve. The only way the possibility remains that it can happen is if you never give up no matter what. My view is like you can't control the outcome. You can't control the outcome all the time. Sometimes it should go the other people's way. It shouldn't always go your way. So you get motivated by the losses. You stay motivated through the winning. What
Starting point is 00:47:48 you can control is your process. You can control those intangibles. You can control the work ethic, the consistent discipline, your attitude, your culture, how much you care. All those things are in you. They just need to be drawn out of you. There are going to be days where you get up and you do exactly what you're supposed to do and you work as hard as you possibly can and nothing happens. And on that day, you're going to feel like you're wasting your effort. You're going to feel like you're wasting your time. On that day, you're going to wonder why you're even doing this. But on that day, you're going to promise yourself that you're going to do it again tomorrow. And when tomorrow arrives and the same thing happens, you're going to promise yourself that you're
Starting point is 00:48:24 going to do it again the next day. If you keep doing that, one of those days, something's going to happen. So keep showing up. Keep doing the work and trust that one day it's going to lead to what you want because if you do the work it will if you will if you will change everything will change for you if you will get better everything will get better for you if you'll change your philosophy you'll change your habits if you'll refine your thinking if you'll change and accept some new disciplines if you'll turn the corner, where you've been in the past, go for a new life of the future, all kinds of remarkable things will happen for you, if you will change.
