Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello listeners, Motivirity is excited to share that we have launched a new podcast called Morning Motivation by Motivore. If you are looking to start your day with positivity and the most uplifting motivational audio, this is the show for you. For today's episode of Motivation Daily by Motivority Podcast, we are sharing a recent episode from the Morning Motivation Podcasts. If you like it, go follow the show. New episodes are being released every week. The link is in the description. It's never going to make sense. It's never going to be obvious.
Starting point is 00:00:42 You're never going to walk out your door and see the obvious way that you want to go. And if you do, it's a trap. If you do go down the path that's already laid for you, it's going to take you to all the destinations that are already known. It's going to take you to all of the places that instinct drove the people before you.
Starting point is 00:00:59 But if you want to go so, somewhere unique. If you want to go somewhere that only you would go, if you want to create something new and really live a life that was meant for you because it's literally crafted by you, you have to take the first steps on faith. And as Rumi said, as you start to walk out on the way, the way appears. So as you're looking at the choices that are before you, where you've got a path that's well-trodden, you've got a path that literally is invisible and won't become something until you step on it. You have to understand that that's what this life is meant to be, and that the only frustration that you will look back on with tremendous regret is knowing that you did what was
Starting point is 00:01:42 easy, even though it wasn't you. There's some mechanism inside of us. There's something that wants us to walk a path that's never been walked before, and the thing that makes it so hard is right now inside of you is a desperate desire for that to be easy. But it's not going to be easy. It's going to be hard. You're going to fail. You're going to stumble. You're going to fall on your face. And thank God. Because as Muhammad Ali said, only a man who knows what it's like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. So what you have to ask you, yourself is, what do you want? Do you want it to be easy? Do you want the path to be well
Starting point is 00:02:30 warm? Or do you want the path to be yours? Do you want to know that inside of you is something that you can reach into and grab and that will be there at the moment that you most need it? Do you want to know that you're that type of person? Because if you do, you have to be willing to walk the path that doesn't exist. You have to be willing to tread through the brambles. You have to be willing to fall because it is in that process of failure and pain and agony and suffering that you will become. That's the process that will make you you. That's the process that will shape you. It's the suffering that gives you the reserves to draw when you need the most.
Starting point is 00:03:14 So when you ask for safety, when you ask for ease, know that you're saying a prayer for weakness and when you take the hard way know that you're forging yourself when you make those demands know that you're building a reserve tank that will be there at the moment when you need it when you walk the path
Starting point is 00:03:38 that only you can walk know that you're living the life that you were meant to live and that my friends is how you become the year You worth becoming. Let me just say this very clear so everybody gets it through their fucking dome. This is the greatest year
Starting point is 00:04:05 to ever be alive in the history of mankind. If anybody has ever achieved something with two alcoholic parents, that's the blueprint that you can follow versus looking the other way. Life is binary. It's either offense or defense. You are there sitting in your seat right now
Starting point is 00:04:24 on the offense or your defense or you're not. There is no half-pregnant, there's no in-between, you're either this or that. Do I believe that there is suppression around, of course, but at a macro-data, macro-data,
Starting point is 00:04:39 health, life expectancy, how much hate and negativity actually is in the complete world verse. This is the best. We have it the best. And all I see is people sitting around and dwelling around dumb shit, around what they don't have,
Starting point is 00:04:54 instead of focusing on what they do have. My friends, the internet is a miracle. Because where do you think the world's going? I have two young kids now, and I love all these parents like, Gary, you're into this social media stuff. This is terrible, right? I'm like, no, dick, this is the best. Because I'm like, they're like,
Starting point is 00:05:11 but I'm going to tell my kid to spend less time on technology. I'm like, why? What world do you think your kids are going to be living in in 20 years? Three keys to a breakthrough. Think of the area you want of a breakthrough in right now. Your body, your money, your relationships, your career, your business, your joy, your happiness. And let's look at what your choices are. First element, there are three Ss for a breakthrough.
Starting point is 00:05:37 First element most people are looking for is they're looking for the right strategy. But more often you're missing the number two thing you need, and that is the right story. Because the story you have about your life, about your business, about the area of your life that's not where you want, the area of your break, through it, your story is with making you be stuck. What's a story? It's a belief that you tell yourself over and over again, like, I don't know the salt, this, I don't know the salt is. You tell the story so often you believe it. In fact, write this down. The only thing keeping you from getting what you want, the only thing keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself about why you don't have it. The only thing keeping you from getting what you really want
Starting point is 00:06:19 is the story you keep telling yourself about why you don't have it yet. Here's what I said. Divorce your and marry the truth. I can teach you a million strategies that will change you overnight. And if I get you to use a strategy and grow your business 30% like that, you are going to get so excited that your story about your business will change, won't it? You're like, I can rip this open. I'm going to make this thing 100% more profitable. That's why 80% of those people, I can grow them 30 to 130% because once I get into momentum, people's story changes. And when their story changes, the third and most important thing changes, they're state. You've got to figure out what it is
Starting point is 00:07:01 that actually makes you feel alive. And if you understand that the game that you're playing is actually a game of brain chemistry and that nothing else matters, there's no objective truth, there's no one path to glory, there's no one life for you to live. There's only the subjective truth, the thing inside
Starting point is 00:07:18 you, that gut instinct, that voice, that whispers to you, you've got to learn to trust that. You've got to learn to trust it by building it up. You've got to learn to trust it by taking actions and gut checking yourself and asking, is that me? Is that who I want to be?
Starting point is 00:07:36 Or is that somebody else, cultural voice, my parents, my lover, whatever, trying to speak through me. And as Harley Davidson said, when writing the story of your life, don't let anyone else hold the pen. So right now ask yourself, who's writing your story? Is it you? Are you really listening to the voice in your head? Are you looking at and living by the things that give you the chills?
Starting point is 00:08:02 Or are you trying to live a life that somebody else wants for you? And remember when you think about that question, what William James said, act as if what you do matters because it does. Even if for nobody else, every step you take, every thought that you allow to permeate your mind, everything that you obsess about, your dreams, the things that you want, the hope, that you spend your time with they matter to you because they tell you who you are
Starting point is 00:08:32 they tell you who you're trying to become and ultimately those things that you let monopolize your mind will become you so if somebody else is holding the pen if somebody else is forcing you to write something that doesn't make you feel alive that is a life lost and that is how you die my friends before you ever had a chance to live I want to ask you all the question and I need some answers Most of us, most of you that's looking at this video, don't even know it. You're not even conscious of it. But you're living your life.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Every single day you are living your life as a reaction, a living, breathing, walking, moving, reaction to other people's actions. Some of y'all are moving and operating within your ex and the insecurities that he put on you. Some of y'all are still doing things within the rules and the laws and the boundaries of somebody else's actions. Answer the question. Really think about it before you answer. Are you living your everyday life as a reaction to somebody else's actions? Good and bad. As Naval Ravikant said,
Starting point is 00:10:02 The only way to truly learn something is by doing it. Yes. Listen to guidance, but don't wait. That is such a powerful idea, and I know right now you're listening to this because you want motivation, you want to be inspired. But my greatest fucking fear is that you'll get motivated, you'll get inspired,
Starting point is 00:10:24 and that'll just be a declining arc for a few minutes after you listen to this video that ends with you doing nothing, and what I want, what I really hope for, and the reason that I give myself over to making me so completely as I know some percentage of you on the other side of this will ultimately be prepared to take that first step. You will realize that the only thing that matters is action and you will take that action. And it's in that action that your potential greatness waits. And as Martin Luther King said, take the first step in faith.
Starting point is 00:10:56 You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step. You've just got to believe that you can learn. You don't have to believe that you're already capable. of doing what you want. You don't have to believe that you can already build that thing that you dream. You don't have to believe that you already are extraordinary. You simply have to believe that if you take that first step, you put yourself on a journey not of execution. You put yourself on a journey of learning so that you can execute. And that, when you understand that difference,
Starting point is 00:11:29 that's when you really will be on that path to greatness. And that is the thing that I want for everybody listening to this. Please understand the only thing you need to know is that you have to take the first step. Whatever the vision is that you have for your life, you absolutely can make it come true. And the process is very simple. The process is about learning. The process is about growing and getting better. It's about recognizing what you're not good at. It's about recognizing what you have to learn. It's about taking that first step on faith. On faith that you can get better. Not on faith that you're great, on faith that you can become the greatest of all time. And once you have that faith, once you know that simply being a human being
Starting point is 00:12:13 puts you in this rare category of creature that can get better through pressure, through pain, through difficulty, through failure, those are the things that are going to be the building blocks of your success. But in order to begin on that road, in order to have your first glorious failure, you must first take that first step. So please, don't waste your time being motivated or inspired. Spend every second of your time moving forward. That's how you're going to get where you want to go.
Starting point is 00:12:50 One of the most powerful thoughts that I know is, will this matter once I'm dead? 300 years. How about 1,000, or 2,000, or a million years? See, you have an opportunity today to step into your greatness, to live the way that you want to live. But we would rather project bullshit worries and concerns into our next day, ruining our potential, ruining our opportunity to make a difference. Quit bringing depression into your own life.
Starting point is 00:13:41 What is your vision? Greatness is the most demanding mistress you're ever going to encounter. And I understand the advice that I'm about to give you is not for everyone. Most people should turn this off. But if you're going to stick with me, if you're going to listen to what I have to say, it's because you want something tremendous in your life. You want to stand out from everyone else.
Starting point is 00:14:07 You want to do something more than other people think is possible. You literally want to stand outside the norm. And if that's the case for you, then understand that, as Albert Einstein said, only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason, mastery demands all of a person. If you want to get great,
Starting point is 00:14:38 if you really want to make a skill set your own, if you want to be able to do something, and at the end of the day, if you want to transform the world, if you want to make grand changes, if you want to do all of that shit, all the empty words that people spout all the time, let me tell you,
Starting point is 00:14:55 the only thing that's going to separate you from all the other blowhards who are just talking words and will never do anything is to give yourself over completely, to let that obsession, let that thing that you love completely consume you,
Starting point is 00:15:13 And in that, your only chance to really become great lies. As Friends Kafka said, don't bend. Don't water down. Don't try to make it logical. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. Can you do that? Can you become mercilessly obsessed? Can you let something occupy you to where all logic and reason is gone out the window
Starting point is 00:15:42 and the only thing that matters is whether or not you accomplish. Will you hold yourself accountable to metrics? Will you look at the world and see, am I actually making change? Are you prepared to hold yourself to that standard because if you are, there is nothing you can't fucking do? If you're willing to take that responsibility on
Starting point is 00:16:02 to transform yourself as a human being, if you give yourself over to getting... great. If you give yourself over to that obsession, if you feed it like you would feed a beast, if you feed it like you would feed a fire that can wipe out an entire mountainside, then you've got a chance. But it's got to burn within you like that. You've got to feed it like that. You've got to feed it skills. You've got to get better every day. You've got to constantly wake up and understand exactly what it is that you're building towards that and build towards it with a relationship.
Starting point is 00:16:42 relentlessness that other people think is mania, that other people can see only madness in what you do. And if you can push yourself to that level, then the world will bend to your will. I like me to do right now, I want you to think about your dream. Think about your dream right now and envision it. I don't know what that dream is that you have. I don't care how far-fetched it might appear to be. I don't care how disappointing it might have been as you've been working toward that dream. But here's what I know, that that dream that you're holding in your mind, that it's possible.
Starting point is 00:17:30 See, sometimes we can't say I can do that. But what we can say, that it's possible that I can have my dream as we run toward it, as we work on it day in and day out. And most people don't work on their dreams. Why? They stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, they stop pushing themselves. These are not risk takers. Most people have done all that they're ever going to do.
Starting point is 00:17:58 They raise a family, they earn a living, and then they die. But people who are running toward their dreams life has a special kind of meaning. That in the process of working on your dreams, you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain, a lot of setbacks, a lot of defeats. But in a process of doing that, you will discover some things about yourself that you don't know right now. What you'll realize is that you're more powerful than you can ever begin to imagine. Align yourself with people that can encourage you, people that can empower you, people that can empower you, People that you can learn from, people that you can grow from.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Look at your life, look at where you want to go. Don't worry about your circumstances. Don't worry about your age. See, it's time now. If you want to make this your decade, you've got to start saying yes to your life. You've got to start saying yes to your dreams. Yes to your unfolding future.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yes to your potential. Why not? The future is unfolding for you right now. The future is unlimited for you right now. No one knows where you can go. No one knows what's your capable of or what's possible for you. We have the power to change our personal history, changing the direction of our lives, changing our thoughts, changing where we want to go, exploring new horizons. So as you begin to look at this decade and affirming that this is your decade, as you set goals that will make you stretch that will bring out the best in you,
Starting point is 00:19:35 as you begin to remove the negative toxic people from your life, as you decide to take some chances in life, in life. And that's one of the things that's very important. Viscard said, if you're not willing to risk, you cannot grow. And if you cannot grow, you cannot become your best. And if you cannot become your best, you cannot be happy. You can't be happy.
Starting point is 00:19:55 And what else is there? People should make New Year's resolutions if they're actually watching this video on January 1st. If they're watching it on December 23rd, they should make December 23rd resolutions. Waiting miraculously to win the calendar flips to start making your life better is silly at best and pisses me off at worst.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And so whenever you're watching this, because it lives on the internet, and thus that means you could watch this. On June 17th, 2017, make a resolution every day of your life because you only get one at bat. The reason people struggle with having a New Year's resolution and sticking to it is because it was a tactic to do a New Year's resolution.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Hence why my first answer was right, which is when you actually decide to make a change in your life, whether about weight or job, or going out with somebody or relationships, that's when you actually pull it off. It's religion, not tactics. It all comes down to the inner game, my friends. Changing your life is a change in the inner game.
Starting point is 00:21:07 The outside world you can't control, but you have absolute control over this one if you learn the dynamics of what shapes you. Raise your standard. Take those three magic words and live them. Okay, I'm going to go make this happen. I'm going to go make this much money. I'm gonna transform my kids.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I'm gonna create the ultimate relationship of my life. I'm gonna transform my body. And then you don't have strong enough reasons and you don't lose, use it. You don't follow through. It's because you didn't back up your standards with what makes those standards real. And that's rituals.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Rituals are what the power is. Rituals define us. See, all the results in your life are coming from your rituals. They start with a standard and then have rituals that follow it up. So the secret to real happiness is progress. Progress equals happiness.
Starting point is 00:22:00 And if we can make progress on a regular basis, we feel alive. And that's why at the beginning of the year we get this thing like, okay, I can have this fresh start. I could really do what my soul desires. I could expand. I could grow. I could improve. I could change. Or maybe better than change, I could progress.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Think about that. Progress is an aliveness to it, doesn't it? You don't have to work at changing. People say all the time, though, well, I'm working on changing. Don't worry about it. You don't have to work on changing. Change is automatic. But progress is not.
Starting point is 00:22:30 There is a system. There is an orbit that you've been functioning in. And that most of the people around you contribute to. They're the social construct that contributes to you coming back down again. That defines you. And people are comfortable with you. They don't mind you leaping up every now and then as long as you come back down with us. In fact, people only hate on you.
Starting point is 00:23:01 when you try to get away. As long as you come back down and fit back in the system, people don't have no trouble with you. But the moment you pack up your bags and say, see you, wouldn't want to be you, I'm out of here. People have a problem with that because you're leaving the orbit. Then you're going to have to break the gravitational pull. And then you're going to fly.
Starting point is 00:23:27 You're going to spread your wings and you're going to sail into your destiny. There's a reason you survive. They're the reason you endured. They're the reason that you cried but didn't faint. That you crawl but you didn't collapse. That you fell down but you weren't shattered. You're a new person. But before you walk out of that door, you've got to have a new mind.
Starting point is 00:23:50 You cannot believe the old labels. I want you to stop speaking negativity over yourself. You are an answer. Walk like it. Talk like it. plan like it. The world will change their opinion about you the day after you do. A vision is about what you're here to create. A vision that really works is one that excites you. If you say, well, my resolution, my goal, my outcome for this month this week this year is to lose
Starting point is 00:24:20 X number of pounds, that's okay, but it's not very compelling. It has to be a compelling vision. It's got to have something that has the power to pull you, not something you have to push yourself to do. Those are two different kinds of motivation. Push requires willpower, and willpower never lasts. What will last is pull. Having something so exciting, so attractive, so, something you desire so much that you have a hard time going to sleep at night and you get so up early in the morning, do a rocket and take it to the next level.
Starting point is 00:24:49 So it's got to be a vision that's compelling, something that you know it's going to be a gift to make sure that it happens. And also, along with that compelling vision, you've got to have strong enough reasons that you're going to follow through when the going gets tough. Reasons come first, answers come second. If you get a compelling vision and you've got strong enough reasons that will push you through the tough times,
Starting point is 00:25:12 you're going to do things other people don't do. It's that are collapsing. Even if you get off target, you won't go, oh, I blew it, you'll get right back on target, make the change, make things happen. And I know you've done this in many areas your life. Just think about it again. I'm not teaching you something really new here today. I just want to remind you of what your soul knows.
Starting point is 00:25:28 You've got to change. You've got to improve. and you've got to go through a simple process fundamentally to make that progress. First step, vision that's compelling. Second step, make sure that they're strong enough reasons that follow through. Third step, you've got to review it and feel it every day.
Starting point is 00:25:43 You know, what do people do with the New Year's resolution? They come up with something they kind of want. It's not a compelling vision. They don't really have strong enough reasons. And they never review it again until to notice that they broke what they said they really want to have make happen because they didn't really resolve. If you resolve, you got the vision, it's compelling.
Starting point is 00:25:59 you review it daily and you feel it. You envision it and you experience it. Simple as it sounds. Why is it at the beginning of a year we have this tradition? But it goes beyond tradition. It's something inside of us that makes us want to make things better.
Starting point is 00:26:13 And I think part of it is the calendar gives us this idea that we can have a fresh start, that we can start from fresh and have this great victory. And it's really, the calendar itself is quite arbitrary. It's wonderful to use it,
Starting point is 00:26:23 but if you didn't use it effectively, let's use the calendar to serve you today. Let's just see what is. it really take to make this thing happen? Because there's no denying that inside of you, the only thing that's going to make you happy and the year ahead and the decades ahead, it's going to be having you have an experience where, on a regular basis, you feel like your life is making progress. The strongest force in the whole human personality is this need to stay consistent with how we define ourselves. If you define yourself as somebody who is really conservative,
Starting point is 00:26:56 you're not going to be crazy and act nuts unless you're really drunk or something, and then you can say it's the alcohol, when it's really just you finding getting permission to be yourself, the alcohol is your excuse. If you're a really crazy person, you act crazy, outrageous, playful. You don't act conservative because that's not who you are. Very often people say, well, I can't do that. I'm not that kind of person. And I always say to people, really, when did you define yourself? When I talk about, you know, shoulds versus must, think about your own life. I know there have been areas in your life where some point in time, you just, you just, you just, you just, shifted and you raise the standard your life changed because whatever people have their identity
Starting point is 00:27:37 attached to they live once don't get met consistently standards do whatever you identify this is who I am and so it's not so much about changing your identity as there's expanding it you know deciding that you know instead of your goals to lose 10 pounds which is not compelling what if your vision was to get back to my fighting weight you know this this year this month this next 90 days you know this makes 90 days, I'm going to transform my body. I'm going to take on a new challenge. I'm going to find some technique or strategy. There's a million of them that can reframe myself where I want to feel younger, stronger, more vibrant than ever before. Here's my reasons, because I want the energy to really make my life work, because it's tough out there and I want to be stronger than I've
Starting point is 00:28:19 ever been before. If you are where you want to be physically, you have very different rituals than if you're not where you want to be physically. If you're overweight, you and I both know you've got a different ritual than if you're physically fit. The only thing that's going to make you happy, my friend, and this year or any other is to step up. It's to raise the standard. It's to discover what you're capable of and feel that incredible power of pushing through whatever's holding you back and get to the other side of more of your true self. That's what this game's all about. Don't let this year be like last. And if last year was great, still don't let it be that way. Raise the standard. If your life is perfect and extraordinary,
Starting point is 00:28:56 you darn well, no. You're not going to be happy unless you keep making it better. That's what makes us feel alive. It's not what we get that make us happy. It's who we become and what we're able to give because we become more. Once you discipline yourself in one area of your life, you feel yourself doing in other areas as well. I always say something that my original teacher taught me. I always remind people. There's always two pains in life. Is it the pain of discipline or is the pain of regret? Discipline weighs ounces as my friend Jim Rhone taught me. Regret weighs tons. You don't have regret. If you make the changes in yourself, you're going to be proud this year and no amount of money or accolades from other people can mirror the feeling
Starting point is 00:29:38 of being proud of knowing you've taken back control of your life or you've taken a great life to another level because once you do that you have something you can give other people whether you be your kids or your friends or your family and ultimately that's what I's about
