If you're tired of waking up unmotivated, it is time you download the mindset daily motivation app and start your day with new motivational alarms. Let's go! Stop waiting for life to be easy. Stop hoping for somebody to save you. Face some hard facts, and you could have an incredible life.

You can just do it anyway. You can do it tired. You can do it with no self-belief. You can do it when you don't want. You can do it when you think it's not going to work. You can just do things. Do it sad. Do it lonely.

Do it without a role model. Because if you're waiting for somebody to come along and give you that helping hands, sometimes you're going to be waiting too long. Every morning I woke up, I had a real conversation with that dirty mirror. And every day, the same answer came back to me. Do you want to be on your deathbed knowing that you could? You could, but you didn't. A lot of people wait for perfect conditions to start, but don't realize that starting is the perfect condition.

Waiting to begin never got anyone anywhere. Even if it's not your fault, it's still your responsibility. No one's coming to save you. Nobody. You are it. Life you want, you are it. You can say something's not my fault and still say I'm going to own it and I'm going to work on dealing with this because it's mine to deal with.

It was like the truest realization that no one is coming. It's becoming of what your habits are. It's, hey, if you really are wanting to take on this journey and become, you know, someone that is taking charge and learning about things, it comes down to your mindset. It's about what you're consuming. It's about you're doing with your mind. If you want to make a change, it starts with, what direction is in my mind going? Am I getting distracted all the time by social media and stuff like that?

Am I wanting to do things at a high level? but I'm not taking the steps to actually learn about that. Identity and values drive behavior. So if you want to make a change, you have to change your vision of who you are. You have to begin telling yourself a different narrative. And the narrative you tell yourself about yourself is everything. And if you tell yourself that you're a scared,

undereducated kid from Tacoma whose family has never accomplished anything, let me tell you what you will become. A scared, undereducated kid from Tacoma who never accomplishes anything, because that's what you believe. You tell yourself that story enough, and it will become real. But on the flip side, you could tell yourself a story of,

you're a learner. You learn faster than most people. You're willing to put in more work than most people. You're willing to read more books than most people. You're willing to spend an inhuman amount of time every day improving your mind, simply by getting new ideas into the system. And once I switched my narrative to being the learner,

it didn't matter where I started. it only mattered where I was trying to go. And as long as I had that clarity, then I could execute because I believed I could do anything I set my mind to without limitation. Everything, everybody knows. They learned. And they are not more intelligent than you, so you can learn it too. So the more I realized this is my journey, it was you.

So you better figure out who the fuck you are on this journey. But you first had to figure out you because a lot of people die with a lot of of untapped potential because you're trying to be somebody that they're not. So I was able to figure out my own potential by figuring out me. No one's coming. No one. No one's coming to push you. No one's coming to tell you to turn the TV off. No one's coming to tell you to get out the door and exercise. Nobody's coming to tell you to apply for that job that you've always dreamt about. Nobody's coming to write the business plan for you. It's up to you. Just get up. Move towards that challenge, whatever that challenge is.

that challenge and go attack it and you may be successful and you may not be successful but you will be better when every boy realizes no one's coming to save him and that's when he becomes a man and some boys never get there and stay children forever nobody cares about you and i mean that in the most positive optimistic inspiring motivating way you think that everybody's paying attention and because of that it kind of controls how you think and the reality is nobody gives a shit. Everybody is so focused on themselves in this world. Nobody has time for you. Look around you. There was no fucking team. It was you. There was no weight loss programmer. Mom and dad waking you up saying you can do it. You can be better trying to build belief. You built belief when you had nothing. I found myself in a place that I just never envisioned I would be. I would wake up

every morning, just pinned to the bed with anxiety. And I became somebody that I barely recognized. And, you know, the thing that's interesting about being stuck in life is that the fact is, you know, what you need to do. That's the easy part. It's the how. How the f*** do you make yourself do what you need to do when you are scared or overwhelmed or anxious or hopeless or depressed or any of the stuff that happens to you as a human.

That's the $100 million question. And because you're only ever going to do the things that you feel like doing right now or that feel good right now, unless you understand that you've got to parent yourself, you've got to push yourself, you're not going to make your dreams come true. You're just not. We're not wired that way. You weren't born that way. You weren't that way when you were growing up, and you're certainly not that way as an adult.

And there's a tremendous amount of liberation that comes when you accept the fact that you're always going to need to give yourself a push. We don't want to be left alone by herself with ourselves. So we come in and we sit down and we get on our phone or we turn on the TV or we go wherever we do whatever. Because we don't want to face the reality of being by herself with ourselves. Start making yourself a companion that you're comfortable with and become comfortable in your own skin. I've trained 99% of my life alone. No one pat me on the back. I did all of the work alone.

And while I'm still hard on myself, I know what I did. You know, if you're going to create anything of value in this life, you're going to, even if it's with other people, you're going to have to be willing to be on your life. your own for a bit, to forage on your own, to take walks alone. I just have bad news for everybody. Nobody cares that you don't have time to practice. Nobody cares that you can grow up with money. Nobody cares that you came from a bad neighborhood. Nobody cares about your problems. Stop with the pity party. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. And remember, no one is going to save you, but you. Save yourself. It seems like my version of personal development requires me to fall

into a hole or dig one. And then I realize nobody's coming to rescue me. And if I want to get out of the hole, I'm going to need to build a freaking ladder. It doesn't sound good to say that you're in control, that nobody's coming to save you. But that's what works. And so if you take Kobe Bryant's advice, which is that booze don't block dunks, and the idea that you can get so good at something that people can't stop you from succeeding. And I promise you, every single person who wants to do something with their life and has done something with their life, has gone through the exact chapter that you're going through. And it's the lonely chapter. It's the chapter where you don't fit in with your own friends, but you don't have the outcomes yet to fit into a new group of friends.

And you're going through this and you're like, is this even worth it because you have no signs of success. But if there's anything that you can take away from what we're saying right now is that the sign of success is the hate that you get along the way. First of all, nobody is coming. I mean, if you've been sitting around waiting for somebody to discover you, to pick you, to save you, to rescue you, to give you your shot, it's not happening. Like, at some point, you got to wake up and realize when you're 18 and you're out of that house, you have to parent yourself. Your life is your responsibility. No one is going to save you. We can't do this for you.

This journey predominantly must come from you. It's not what other people think. It's your life. But if it's your life, you've got to be willing to pay the price. There are going to be seasons in your life where nobody is coming. Nobody's coming to support you. Nobody's coming to help you. Nobody's coming to save you.

No one is coming to rescue you. You're going to pull yourself out of the pit of misery and put the work in. Everything about it is accountability. Everything about it is self-discipline. Everything about it is no one's going to save you. No one's going to come out of the world. and say, hey, I got your back, man. I want to take you from all this shit.

I got to do it all on my own now, you know? But that's the truth. I had to do it on my home, you know? Just like he did. You got to do it on your own. Sometimes you just have to have the ability to save yourself. I'm not going to say it was easy because it wasn't. But I had to learn it.

You have to take your own responsibility. No one's going to save you. You have to do it. You got to learn to pick yourself up on your own. A lot of times these fights and these battles, you got to be your own coach. You got to be your own motivator. You got a long journey ahead of you because you're going to find out that while your dad did a lot of shit to you, you're going to have to make it on your own.

You have to look at your own life and you have to realize, okay, you either have to change yourself or you got to make everybody else wrong. You got to look at your own life and go, what do I need to change so I can be successful? And people don't want to do that. It's easier to try to make the other person wrong. Me really because I don't care about being solitary. I don't care about being on my own. I don't care about taking risks because for a very long time I was in any case on my own. And everything was a risk, going to school was a risk or going out for lunch was a risk or whatever.

People struggle to do things alone. And the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means that you are not with other people. And rather than fighting that or bemoaning it, See it as an indicator that you're on the right path. Because if everyone else were cheering you on, then it means you're not in the right place because it means you're just like everyone else and that's not where you want to be.

You have to be alone in a very dark place in your mind to think about what is important to you. So you're going to feel the pain of being ostracized from the group of friends that you used to have. But you're stuck in this messy middle where you haven't yet worked out who you are on the other side of this. And that lonely chapter that's in the middle

is something that, I would say almost nobody that I've ever met who has gone from a place where they are to a place where they want to be hasn't gone through. You have to make that start. You have to separate yourself from the pack. You have to be willing to spend time with yourself. You have to sacrifice. I knew that no one was coming back to help me.

No one was a miracle to me to be somebody special. All my situations were on me now. It's solely on me. It's close to three in the morning right now. The thing is, man, it's always going to be a party. It's always going to be a time to celebrate and at a time to join friends. I mean, the bars are always open. Always open.

No matter how old you are, they're always open, you know? What's not always open is the opportunity to check the box in life. You know, to achieve your dreams. That's not always open. I'm talking about right now the small steps in between the big successes that everyone sees. No one sees this. Right now, I'm saying, like, there's a confidence to it, man. There's a bad motherfucker that's right here, you know,

that it's getting ahead of the competition. There's an overwhelming sense of fulfillment and pride and satisfaction with that. Successful people have mastered the art of spending time alone. When I get time with myself, and I get in my head and I get in my heart and I understand my behaviors and my belief systems and my parameters and what I need to do and how I need to soul

and where I need to send my energy and how I need to execute in the day it's a superpower when you spend that time alone and you can think and you can pray and you can meditate that everybody's not in your mix you're able to grow something

spending time alone is the only place where you get to have these conversations And most of us are spending time away from being alone because we're scared of having these conversations. The challenge today is that we think that there's only one word for being alone. And we call it loneliness.

We've forgotten about a second word. It's called solitude. Solitude and loneliness externally look the same. But they're completely different things. Solitude is the strength of being alone. And loneliness is the weak. I don't respect a whole bunch of people, but the few that I did respect are the people who were uncommon amongst uncommon people. And what that means is those people who weren't afraid to stand alone.

I'm very comfortable in my own head. I'm very comfortable alone for hours at a time, for days at a time. The one companion that's always going to be with you is yourself. No one's coming. No one. Kill the boy. A man. The difference is how do you look at it? How do you approach it?

How do you deal with it? How do you admit it and see it for what it is? And then what do you do about it? What do you do about it? You cry about it, you mope about it, you drink about it, you sleep around about it, you get mad and getting fights about it, you just hang around. Just turn the world out, just zombie about it.

You fry yourself a marijuana about it. Say, Dwayne, I'm sad. Dude, that's a part of life. You think you're the only man on this planet that's sad? Say, Dwayne, I'm going through depression. Well, welcome to the world. Welcome to the rest of us. If you look at the stats around suicidality in the UK,

the thing that's most likely to kill someone between the age of 18 and 40 years themselves for a man. do we really not know what it is to be a good man? And I would go so far as to say to be a good human being, right? Because take responsibility for what you're doing. Take ownership of your world. Take ownership of your life. Go try and accomplish something that's hard.

You may win. You may lose. You may succeed. You may fail. I'll tell you what, you'll be better. If you avoid those things that are hard, if you don't accept that challenge, if you don't step up and step into that cold water,

and you sit on your couch and eat Doritos, I can tell you this is not a good move. This is not a good move. Don't do that. Don't do that. Just get up. Move towards that challenge, whatever that challenge is. Move towards that challenge and go attack it.

It's wake up. Stop sleeping on yourself. Step into your authenticity. Step into your intelligence and your brilliance. Release your gift. God is giving you. giving you something great, release it to the earth. Whatever that goal is, whatever that insurmountable feet has been,

whether it's weight loss, financial, mindset, relationship. I don't care what it is, career, to be a CEO or an investor, whatever it is, get it done. This is not the year. You sleep with yourself. There's nothing going to stop me. If you didn't make me, you can't break me. If you didn't make the sun come up, you can't stop me.

If you didn't make the moon shine at night, you can't stop me. My purpose, my will, my dedication. My motivation is all about doing the business because guess what ladies and gentlemen, that's what I'm about. I'm about that business. I'm about that life. What are you about? Man up, stop crying.

My teacher don't like you. Why? Maybe you're disrespectful. Don't say she don't like you. Don't look in the mirror and take full ownership. Why does she not like me? You're watching LeBron make his dreams become a reality. You're watching the black mumble make his dreams become a reality.

If you put the same time LeBron put in and I started studying and I realize as an African-American male, I need to get a master's degree in the PhD in order to do what I'm doing. And guess what? I had to get up even though it was hard and I had to take ownership of my life. Take ownership of my time. Take ownership of my day.
