Hi, I'm Jennifer Yang. I cover health science for the Globe and Mail. It often feels like we're drowning in health information or misinformation. I want to help you make sense of it by bringing you into the hospitals and labs where stories begin. My goal is to demystify research and share what I get to feel every day in this job. The wonder of scientific discovery. If that's journalism you value, head to globeandmail.com slash subscribe. You realize right before everything gets to where you want to be when you feel like life is at its peak, everything start falling apart, but that's because things are actually falling together.

You take your favorite meal, your favorite cake. It requires you to gather all those ingredients, and then you've got to start breaking stuff, cracking stuff, and beating stuff, and beating stuff, and mixing stuff, so that everything can come together and mix properly to get the result that you want. There's no such thing as something or nothing. It's trading what's easy for what lasts. And that's the point, doing what most won't. So you can have what most don't. Brother, there is no shortcut worth taken. Because every obstacle you skip is a skill that you don't learn.

Now, sure, you might stumble on a victory once or twice. Congrats. But if you didn't earn it, you can't repeat it. And if you can't repeat it, you can't keep it. The hard road is what makes you a man. The easy road often ends where it started. The illusion is that change takes time. The truth is, change happens the moment you decide.

You don't need more time. you need a shift in being. No matter how many bad days that you have, keep going forward. Them rainy days will stop. It will be sunshine, bro. Don't get discouraged at these bad days, because all the warriors go through war, then you gotta fight back. If you fight back, then this kind of war,

you will make it out on top, man. Don't let light beat you up. Don't let your mind get the best of you. It's keep pedaling for and stay stares fast, but I'm telling you, but we all both do it. Most of the things that we're going through, someone else has already gone through. So what one person can do, another can do. And it's important that we believe that you are not alone in this journey.

You're not the first person to go through what you're going through. So what that means is this. You are just as tough as all the other people that have endured what you aren't doing right now. so always stay in the fight you will have good days and you'll have bad days but you will always learn something more or something new and you will learn more overall on bad days than good days people are often afraid of moving forward and no wonder but you should be way more afraid of not moving forward

and so if you get that hell behind you it's like well do i want to go there well i don't have the effort to the energy i'm not even sure that it's the right thing it's like well do i want to go back there it's like no definitely not that if you don't feel that hell then you're not near nearly as motivated as you could be. The most important step we're ever taking life is our next one. Well, why is let's get our feet stuck in concrete?

Get our feet stuck in concrete because we're afraid to make enemies. 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.

We're afraid of he and that group of peeping and when you walk away we're afraid what they might say behind your back all that fear clouds your brains they'll have to think it one thing in life you're going to always have haters embrace them if you can walk in water trust me your haters are saying you can walk on water because you can't swear learn one thing

Shut the noise out. Embrace the fact that people don't like it. It needs to do something right. Stay hard. Stay in the fight. The one thing that you have to understand about mental toughness, there is no one thing. You know what? Every time you decided not to take the right path, you know why you didn't do it?

Because it was too damn hard. That's why. That's why people don't take the right path. That's why you ask, what's the one fake? So don't judge your success by the masses, what they think of you. Judge yourself by what God told you to do. It matters not how straight the gate, how charged with punishment the scroll. I am the master of my fate.

I am the captain of my soul And those words I am the master of my fate I have the captain of my soul became a mantra for me What it said is I am responsible for the choices that I make in my life

Should a future think for a moment Future think a year from now If you kept the things in your life that you're complaining about, the things you're like to keep in pain, the things in your life that are stealing and robbing your peace, how is your life going to be a year from now? Right now, I picture your life by just removing those things. Maybe it's one thing, maybe it's two things. Removing those things, how much free is your life going to be? I think that among the things that prevent us from acting is the fear of failure. And if you've already failed, you don't want to fail again, the pain of that. disappointment. The fear of loss is another thing. Because many times when we do those things that we know we need to do, we feel that we might lose somebody, that we love very much and care

about it. We don't want to hurt anybody. Many of us don't act because we want other people's approval. We want everybody to like us and to accept us. And that's not possible. but unless you know three things number one who are you or what your value is number two what is your purpose here in life and number three what is your destiny when you're done here maybe you need to rename your story yeah it sucks but this is going to be sanctified Yeah, it's hard Somehow healing's coming out of this I told you these things

So that in me you may have peace In this world you will have trouble Can I say it a different way In this world you will have a story There are moments and you're going to have them When that conversation starts talking to you And it's going to talk to you What you will do is you can pull that out and read it

and it will build you up. Life will knock you between the eyes. It will catch you on the blind side. Come out of nowhere. Step, you can't anticipate. Because my beliefs have always been stronger than anyone's doubt. It's never about to setbacks. It's how you respond.

The blows you take are. fuel. The limitations people put on you are actually inspiration. You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments that is, to me, a sign of a champion. The best in the world

are not the best because they win every point. It's because they know they'll lose again and again and have learned how to deal with it. You accept it. You move on. Be relentless. Adapt and grow. Work harder. work smarter. Remember, work smarter. You need to fucking work harder. You need to

discipline your mind better. And it starts off with you have to have pride in yourself. You have to be proud of yourself. We need to help people more than just saying it's okay. It's okay that you're not willing to help yourself out. That's not okay. It's not okay. It's not acceptable. Even though it's your life, if that's acceptable, that's unacceptable. A lot of people can take one more step, but they choose not to. I don't know if you can take two steps. You're going to answer that question after take the first step.

But if you wake up in the morning and you don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself. Because that is the number one purpose in life is to better oneself. The man who never fell has no glory. The man who fell that got back up. That's where it's glorious. The man who fell 20 times and got up. 21 times, that man has even greater glory, way more cursed than the guy who was so strong

from birth that he never cleared. There's no glory in that. If you're struggling in life, whether it's emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, financially, whatever it may be. It's very easy to look at your life and just see chaos. It's very easy to look at your life and just feel the weight holding you down. So wherever you're at, no matter what your situation is, I want you to stop for a minute and understand this.

You don't have control over what happens. You don't get to decide the outcome. But what you do have control over is what you do. And what you do influences the outcome. So what you need to do is sit down and decide, okay, what do I have control over? My effort, my attitude, my actions, who I spend my time with, who I don't spend my time with, the food I put in my body, the information I put in my brain. If all you do for the next three months is hammer down and focus on those things that you have control over

and forget about the rest, the rest is going to take care of itself. what if it turns out better than you expected what if you can trust yourself to be able to handle it and what if all those things you've been dreaming of are actually closer you might realize the act of closing your eyes and rehearsing who you're going to be when you open your eyes begins to install neurological hardware in your brain

to look like you've already done it now the brain which is typically a record of the past now becomes a map to the future. And if you keep doing it, the hardware begins to become a software program and you start behaving differently. And then if you can teach your body emotionally what the future will feel like,

that means then you're not going to wait for your wealth to feel abundant or your success to feel empowered or your new relationship to feel love. In fact, the moment you start feeling abundant, you're generating wealth. The moment you start embracing empowerment, you're stepping towards your success. the moment you're in love with yourself and you're in love with life, you start creating

equals in your life. Now that's causing and infecting your life. Winning is a wonderful outcome. It's just not a great purpose. Your purpose for life should be rooted in who you are. So if your purpose is who you're becoming, it can't be shaken by wins or losses, failure of success. You should want to win. You should want to be the best. These are great aspirations. but they should be outcomes of the person that you're committed to becoming. True desire in the heart, that itch that you have, whatever it is you want to do, that thing that you want to do to help others and to grow and to make money, that desire, that it's God's proof to you.

Sit beforehand already to indicate that it's yours. And anything you want, good, you can have. have. So claim it. Work hard to get it. When you get it, reach back. Pull someone else up. Each one, teach one. Don't just aspire to make a living. aspire to make a difference. That the journey is truly the reward. I may not be who I want to be today, but I know I can be better tomorrow working towards who that person is to me. That's a choice for me. The wins and the losses, whether the games come and go, yes. Am I dedicated to my craft? Yes. Am I going to make mistakes moving forward? Yes. Am I ever going to be

perfect? I'm just aware that you have to have laughter. You have to have fun on this. You have to smile. You cannot put super's pressure on yourself because this one life to live. But understand this, life is hard. No matter who you are, there are bumps and hits and bruises along the way. And my advice is to prepare yourself. The truth is you don't have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren't. Consistent, determined, and willing to work for it.

No shortcuts. Do you know how easy it is to stand out right now? Most people aren't even trying. We live in a day and age where the average individual is socially inept. They are so wrapped up in their own problems that they can't fathom providing value to anybody else. All you basically have to do to stand out amongst the rest is to try. To focus on your goals, take consistent action, and show up every single day trying to add value to people. That alone is far more than most people are doing.

So many people are completely asleep at the wheel. So if you just have a little bit of grit, a little bit of work ethic, a little bit of hustle you can gain such a competitive advantage over them it is disgusting those who can do those who can't talk about those who can send that out those who can do those who can't talk about those who can 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. See why CCFP family doctors are the experts at cfpc.ca.ca slash no substitute. For balance in the universe, I mean, like if there are just some people on Earth who are supposed to be here just to make it easier for the winners? Like, really? Resistance is the symptom of the way things are.

Not the way things necessarily should be. Actual victory belongs to things that simply do not. Sea failure. Let the path push you like a broken branch in the river's current. Well, the problem that most of us have is we think that we're all alone. We think they were the only ones going through all this stuff. I thought it. Your vision becomes very narrowed.

And what happened to me was, all I did was I peeled back. I peeled back and I was able to get on top of a mountaintop in my head. And when you're high on that mountain, you have a great, you have a great vantage point. And I was able to look down at the world. And we are, all of us are jacked up. Some of us hide it better than others, but we're all jacked up. And once you realize that, you know, you got to come out of your shell. You got to accept who you are.

You got to accept the demons that life gave you, that maybe you gave you. Whoever gave them to, you got to accept that. You got to be able to look them in the mirror, look them in the eyes, okay. I'm going to start picturing these things but if you think that you're by yourself the reality of your life becomes very, very horrible and you're not. We are all

jacked up and once you realize that man you don't even look at the crowd anymore. You look at your own race, you do your own race, you do your own thing and you finally find out who you're supposed to be in this life. If you're struggling to find fulfillment please watch this,

not everything is going to make sense all the time. Not everything is going to feel right all the time. There is so much uncertainty that comes along with this journey and we're not even 100% sure where we're going to end up. But that's not the point. If we were certain of these things, if we always performed at our best, if we never struggled, there would be no journey. You must shift your focus back to your process because your process is your fulfillment. It is your rock, your constant. Stop trying to find fulfillment. realize that it's yours if you want it.

The person who never needed to be told to do the right thing, to the person who has all the motivation in the world, the person who knows they will be successful. I am sorry. I know your future ahead is an amazing one, but I also know your problems never had the luxury of relatability. Almost everyone in this world is an obstacle to themselves, but they sure have company in their struggle

while your struggle is a lonely road you know it pays off I don't even have to tell you that but I promise you I understand you are relatable to those that'll do big things and it is okay that that comes in small quantity but as you grow you lose certain homies

because it's called closing the gap this is the gap when we started this is the gap as you grow notice how you grow and they don't so how do you close a gap you got to come back down when you come back down you lose so you got to keep going up

that's why closing that gap gotta be them catching up to you and if they don't catch up you gotta leave them behind because you get to the point now where you gotta start cutting out you know what I'm saying and it's like you can't look back when you cut them out Because if they admit to be there, they're going to be there.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequately. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. it's not just in some of us it's in everyone and as we let our own life shine

we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same as we are liberated from our own fear our presence automatically liberates others if you're going to try go all the way otherwise don't even start if you're going to try go all the way this can mean was in girlfriends, wives relatives, jobs, and maybe your mind. Go all the way. It can mean not eating for three or four

days. It can mean freezing at a park bench. It can mean jail. It can mean derision, mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance or how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There's no other feeling like that. You'll be alone with the gods, and the knights will flame with fire.

Do it. Do it. All the way. All the way. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is. You can't see the proper light. if you have never indulged in the very, very deepest dark times.

It's not negative. It's just something that you usually don't want to dive into when something like this appears. But it's part of this life. There is no way to run around. to run around. So to embrace the darkness one and one goes hand in hand with on the other side appreciating the light when it comes. The life you want isn't out of reach. It's just outside your comfort zone. You can't build the life you want if you

just keep clinging to the same old patterns. this journey is on you sometimes it's going to feel hard maybe even pointless but that's where perseverance kicks in push through the resistance one day at a time and watch what happens

when you refuse to give up on yourself The Buddha says Being in a state of pain, anxiety or in a state of suffering comes from attachment. When you're attached to things, attached to people, attached to identities, attached to philosophies, then you end up being a situation where you experience pain. But you don't have to experience suffering if you live in a state of no expectation. Or you're just living life. Taking it day by day, step by step by step.

and enjoying yourself. You always have the pain of comparison. It's easy to compare yourself in the age of the internet to other people, the pain of living in the future, right? The pain of what you could be, you should be, but you aren't. You can liberate yourself from a lot of these things

by living in the present moment, by being here right now. We may not be able to control everything in our outer world, but we certainly can control our inner world. And so it's not so important to not react. I mean, everybody reacts. I react. The question is, how long are you going to react? So if you keep an emotional reaction going on for an extended period of time, you're memorizing that emotion and your body as the unconscious mind is believing it's living in the same past experience 24 hours a day, seven days a week,

365 days a year. We become addicted to the very life we don't even like. So it's important then for people to realize then when you have that moment where you have crisis or something breaks down, that you do have control over it. And it's a formula. If you think that everything is too good to be true, you're going to be right nine out of ten times. The only issue is that one out of every ten opportunity, that could be the one that could change your life. So optimists fail far more than cynics, but eventually they hit a home run. So always keep your guard up, protect yourself, be street smart, but never fully close yourself off to the fact that you might have a life-changing opportunity in front of you. These are words to remember when anyone tries to tell you to give up, tell you to give in because whatever you're trying to do is impossible.

Impossible is just a word thrown around by a small man who find it easier to live in the world they've been given and to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. I'm here to say you will make mistakes along the way. You will fall down. I have many times, but what we do after that fall is how we make history, because impossible is nothing. If you look at the greats in any walk of life,

the greats do things when they don't always want to. And that's the separation. But ever be ashamed of anything you've done in your life. Face it. it make it better, build belief, build confidence to the point where nothing can hurt you because you know exactly who you are. You've faced your demons. You were able to hear all your past traumas. I'm no longer embarrassed. I'm no longer ashamed. Being ashamed is one of the biggest things that kill people nowadays. It's risky as living your life and never trying for anything

and never doing something brave and never getting yourself scared and in a good way. You know, if I see something, I see an opportunity, I'm going to go for it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? We only, you know, we're all going to die one day. So we live like that. Live like you could die tomorrow. You know, go for it.

A lot of people think they have all this time, so they fucking waste it. And they never go out and do what they really set out to do or accomplish or do anything great in their life. You think when you're young that you have all this time, you have no time. There's no time. There is no tomorrow, you know? There is no tomorrow, that shit. Let's get all this done today.

Contemplate the price you pay for inaction. So I think a lot of the time we presume that inaction has no cost, but it does. Inaction does have a cost because your attention is the most important thing that you have. So contemplate the price that you pay for inaction. It's a justification for you doing things sooner rather than later. and committing. Every morning when you get up, say over and over to yourself,

do it now, do it now, do it now, do it now, I do it now, do it now, do it now. Whenever you have this tendency to procrastinate, program your subconscious mind with this automatic conditioned command, do it now, do it now, do it now. The key to overcoming procrastination is to develop a sense of urgency. Be the kind of person who gets things done quickly. Be the kind of person who launches fast on a task. Say over and over to yourself, do it now, do it now. Do you know that less than 2% of the population have a sense of urgency?

And that there's not an example of a successful person anywhere who does not have a sense of urgency. That if you just develop a sense of urgency, if somebody gives you a task that you get art and do it fast, that alone will move you into the top ranks in a very short period of time. How do you try to make them understand you when they don't even understand themselves? They judge your actions but don't even care to think about theirs. They criticize your every move while they blind. move while they blindly stumble around, you're trying to garner respect from the wrong people's.

It is apples and oranges. They view reality differently than you do. And every minute you spend trying to sell them on your dream is a minute you are not spending actually trying to achieve. When you're grateful, you can't be worried. It can't be fearful. When you're grateful, you can't be angry. And anger and fear would screw people at most in their relationships, in their life, and their business. So I wire myself. I was saying to you that most people want to be happy, but their habit is to be worried or pissed off or frustrated or stress. And so they've got a high way to stress, and they've got a dirt road to happiness. One of my most powerful motivational frames is thinking about the person that I want to become

as the destination and thinking like, I want to be bulletproof. I want to be bulletproof in these ways. I want to be bulletproof in my marriage. I want to be bulletproof in my business, et cetera. And I think about that man, whoever I want him to be. Like we said, hell is when you look at who you could have been. and realize that you're not that person. And then I think, if I were to make that man,

what would I put that man through to make him who he is? Like, it wouldn't be easy times. It wouldn't be quick wins. It wouldn't even be easy wins. It would be the toil and the struggle of achieving and reaching for things that are right out of grasp. And so when I'm going through those, like, really harder times, I like to think of, like, looking in my mental mirror

of, like, I'm making you. I'm not there yet, but I'm making you. 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. See why CCFP family doctors are the experts at cfpc.ca.ca slash no substitute. In the race of life, life's not going to give you a glass of water when you're thirsty. Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. but if we don't physically make a decision how we're going to live then we'll show up like everybody else

because the human mind is not going to make you happy this brain of yours won't do it you have to direct it and there's no worse fate than to achieve everything and not be fulfilled the majority says if you go through heartbreak

if you're on your knees because your life is falling apart rush out as quickly as possible. What I've discovered is stay in as long as possible because difficulty is growth in wolf's clothing. Is that people aren't after happiness. They're after not hurting.

It's not so they don't want to be extroverted at enthusiastic and full of smiles and laughter. That isn't what they mean by I want to be happy. What they mean is, want to be anxious or in pain what you say to yourself matters and we understand that from a common sense perspective but somewhere along the line we have all stopped saying you're going to make it you got this and when you start your day by saying i look terrible that's not going to motivate you to change it. And so your sense of feeling like the effort is worth it begins and

ends with how encouraging supportive and kind you are to yourself. You complain about your job. You complain about where you are financially. You complain about your relationship. You complain about your opportunity. You complaining, complain it, complain. Listen to me, you murmuring and complaining. You complaining and complaining and can put, shut out, stop complaining and do me a favor. If you want to make a difference, all you've got to do is one thing. This is how you get started. You want something different, listen to me. All you've got to do is make a decision. That's it. If those of you've been making a wrong decision, all you got to do is make the right decision. But if you want to make a difference, make a decision. Are you here what I'm telling

you? Confidence comes from this because the disease of lack of confidence is you're obsessed with everybody else thinks about you. What are they going to think? What are they going to think? going to think what are they going to think that's the that's the symptom the disease is you're worried about your reputation with everybody else because you don't have a good one with you if your reputation with self is exemplary you're not concerned about your reputation with others so self-confidence comes from one simple thing it comes from keeping the promises you make to yourself that's it if you begin to consistently keep the promises you make to you you will begin to stack upon that self-confidence 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 we can control what we feel you can control what we do we can control what we focus on when we take control of that we're able to take control of the inner world there's only two worlds you can master the external world that's how you achieve things that's how you convert your dreams in reality how do i take what i dream out and manifest it in the real world physically mentally emotionally financially spiritually whatever. They're a real great masters of the external world, but inside, they're a disaster. How do you do anything is how you do everything. It's saying, oh man, I got to do this the way I do that. That little boy talk. We're talking mentality. We're talking spirit. We talk in disposition.

We talk about how we show up and how we work for what we say we want without retent situations, circumstances, and people big take what we bring into an environment every single day. your eyes are the window to your soul of belief inspiration the willpower and just like when you put something in your mouth and you chew it they can either enhance the bazaic or herself or be the demise depending on what you're eating

to see and goes true with what you see there's a visual diet out there that's goody man There's negative energy if you look at and you focus on you allow that coming in to be a demise of your real power. The demise is that we self-confidence what you can be in what you believe in. You focus on the negative so much, you start to believe that negative should exist in you. That's a negative, unhealthy diet. Failure is not an option. You can't even let it sink into your brain, into not even a second.

You have to know that this thing is going to work, come hell or high water, whatever it is that I set out to do, it may not happen in six months, it may not happen in a year, it may not happen in two years, but at some point, my dream is going to become a reality. I don't care how good you are on anything, you don't have discipline, you ain't nobody, and nothing without discipline, because you give up on the slightest struggle without discipline. Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you're doing. love her. Just because we're going through a hard time, we have a setback that that's not a part of the journey. I'm going to tell you right now, God will allow things to happen in your life to grow different things in your life.

So a lot of us be going through a time right now in their life, you're like, man, God don't love me, man, life ain't fair, man, everybody else getting blessed, and everybody else having the right things in their life, and everybody else is going through everything and happy, they draw it, and I'm in this moment, let me tell you something. When you look back on your path, it's the moments that were difficult that built your strongest faith. When the alarm sounds, it's time. Rise.

Despite fatigue and soreness, curse the warmth of the bed. Curse the comfort of the pillow. Fight the temptation of weakness. Get up and go. You go after and you give it all you had. If you lose, at least you try, man. I fail.

It's ten times more of a man than someone said, What If? Because what if never went to the arena. When you guys find a fear, that fear will either create you or destroy you. This is yours. You're the captain. You're the master. You're the foreman. You're the general. You're the head. Don't give control of this to nobody. Everything is going wrong, right?

It seems as if the walls falling down. It seems as if, man, don't none work. Oftentimes, it was decisions and choices made far prior to that moment that's contributing to that moment. Seeming as if the walls are falling down. And so when you look at shortcuts in different areas and aspects of life, I always think to the point of like, man, you know that's an illusion. Right? You know it's an illusion. You know sooner than later you're going to end up in the dead end.

You know sooner than later you're going to get to a point and space and place in your life to where when it doesn't work, it's going to be hard to turn that finger back. Like when you point and you blame it up, it's going to be hard to turn that thing back and say, no it's me it was the hardest times that built your strongest strength it was the hardest times that built the endurance in your life

it was the hardest times that built your belief so you might be in a season right now where the world is trying to lie to you the world is trying to tell you that your life is over the world is trying to tell you that you that you ain't special

the world is trying to tell you that you ain't got no worth that you ain't got no value the world is trying to tell you that better days aren't ahead for your life the world is trying to tell you that nobody else will love you care about you

the world will tell you that your dreams are over And I'm going to tell you, it's a lot easy to believe those things when you look at your circumstances. But I tell you all the time, and I want to tell you right now, you can't trust your circumstances. You've got to trust your faith. I love fear. The reason why, behind every fear is a person you want to be. Fear is self-imposed, meaning it doesn't exist. You create it, you can destroy it too.

It's an intangible. If you face your fears, guys, you will realize it's not that big. And once you face it, you go out, oh, my God, man, it's done all this time running from it. It was so small. If I just faced it, I'm like, God, not only did I face it, I beat it back, energy is never lost, transfer. That negative energy, a fear is destroyed. It comes back in its confidence. What else am I, where else my cable of?

What else am I hold my back from that I'm capable of more? What am I running for? I don't need to. What else can I overcome? Push through tough times, I'm sure of many of them. But as you push through those, you become more. As you become more, something magical happens. You don't just grow.

You expand in your spirit and your soul and your capacity and your skin. and all of a sudden fear becomes less and less a part of you. Do not reason with weakness you cannot. You must only take action. Get up. Let go. The thing that you'll resent isn't whether or not you make it. The thing that you'll resent is,

now that you know you can, will you actually try? If you find a fear, the quickest, the easiest way you can beat it is initially, right when it comes in. If you allow it to sit, it will grow roots and start breaking you down, destroying the potential of a person you can be. Again, the champions, guys, it's not their potential, it's not their genetics. It's their perseverance to always show up, always willing to fail.

As in failure, that's part of success. Success is not, you know, a marathon of life with just ups. Success is formulated through failures, through facing your fears, through falling down and getting back up. That's what creates the champion. Whatever you've done up to this point, all that it really is is a duplication, it's a reproduction of what you believe subconsciously that you deserve. and what's possible for your life. Operate out of your imagination, not your memory.

I don't know everything. I have not accomplished everything. I'm not where I want to be. I'm still learning. I'm still growing. I'm still trying to get better. You've got to position yourself and stop potting. Stop crying.

Stop looking at what other people are getting it. Look at what they're doing. And if you start doing it, you'll start getting it. You don't get out of life what you want. You get out of life what you earn. Stand up. Go forward. Go out.

a blaze of glory fighting with everything you've got, every bead of sweat, every drop of blood until your last breath.
