Starting point is 00:00:00 The world has a strange way of stepping aside when somebody says, I'll do it or die. I said to myself, I'm going to do it or die. That's it. I'll starve to death if necessary. Demand success from yourself. Do or die. In order to be at your best, it has to be everything. You're not going to beat me. I'm prepared to die. We can climb out of hell, one inch at a time. One inch is all it takes. It's the time in your life where it's do or die.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Fourth quarter, you have to live and die by your performances. is do or die. See, that's powerful. That could be the day that turns your life. If I asked you, tonight, you're going to die. Would you not live this afternoon a little bit different? For me, it was do or die in the film. So therefore, where other people kind of called it quits and threw in the towel,
Starting point is 00:00:48 I didn't have the choice. If I say tomorrow is your last day on earth, would you not wake up early in the morning and just savored at sunset? Right now we have the most valuable acid on earth on our side. Time, but it's running out. Man says I will climb the mountain. They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's too rocky, it's too difficult. It's never been done before, but it's my mountain I will climb it.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Pretty soon you'll see me waving from the top, or dead on the side, because I ain't coming back. Have nothing left. That's when it's showtime. When you find the way out of no way, when you find breath that you don't. half when you find energy that did not exist when you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe that's when you find a way resolve says i will two of the most powerful words in the language benjamin disraeli said nothing can resist a human will that will stake its existence on its purpose shortly put i'll do it or die best definition of resolve i got from a little junior high
Starting point is 00:02:25 girl foster city california i'm going through some words one day i got to this I asked the kids who can tell me what resolve means some didn't know some tried interesting the last one was the best little girl about three rolls back she said I think I know mr.ona I said what she said I think resolve means promising yourself you will never give up I said that's the best I've ever heard I asked the kids how long should a baby try to learn how to walk how long would you give your average baby before you say enough enough enough no Oh, any mother in the world would say, you're crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:07 My baby is going to keep trying what? Until. What a magic word. I want you to write it down. Until. Promise yourself, you'll read the books until your skills change. You'll go to seminars until you get a handle on it. You'll listen to it until it makes sense.
Starting point is 00:03:25 You'll go for it until you understand it. You'll practice it until you develop the skill. Never give up until, however long that is. Step by step piece by piece, book by book, word by word, apple by apple. Walk around the block, walk around the block. Go for it. Don't miss the chance to grow and resolve that you'll pay the price until you learn, change, grow, become.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Then you'll discover some of life's best treasures when you pay that price. When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, when you ain't got nothing left in your take, you've got to think about the people in your life that you're doing this for. And then if you can think about them, you can go one more mile.
Starting point is 00:04:06 You can go one more day at work. You can find a, you can find a scholarship. Listen to me, when you're doing it for somebody else, when you like that lion, if I don't grind. If we don't grind,
Starting point is 00:04:18 if I don't grind, they don't eat. Get all in. You keep dating it. You keep thinking about it. You keep talking about it. It is possible to fully commit yourself to something.
Starting point is 00:04:33 It is possible to accomplish what you see in your head, to hold it in your hand. It is possible. The question is, can you give your awe? The willpower, the belief, the confidence. And just like you go to the gym and you lift your muscles, right? You have to exhaust them to grow them. Perishable, use it or lose it.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Your confidence must be the same way. It must be tested every single day. Safety, comfort zones are dead zones because your true potential will never be matched, guys. will never be matched. Get serious. Life is serious. We call it life or death.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Somebody asked me one time if I had a good description of life. I said, yes, I think I've got a good one. Life is the struggle to keep death at a respectable distance. Death seems to want to move in prematurely prematurely. If you want to live a good, long, flourishing life, you've got to push back. You can't just give in. You've got to push back. It's the time when you're ready to give up.
Starting point is 00:05:40 But you know, if you do, you'll never be able to live with yourself with the guilt and shame of not pulling yourself out of this state. Which way are you going to turn? Many people reach this point, and here's the thing. The choice you make now determines your perception on whether or not you'll move that inch. The deeper down you go, the more growth there is on the way back up. So Wushito goes deeper than to just, I'm ready to die for something. It's to live life in every breath. It's for seek of perfection in your manners, in your life, in everything you do,
Starting point is 00:06:21 Wushito. So when people hear that at such a surface level, they're like, oh, he's willing to die for something to believe. Think about deeper meaning in that. Are you living the life that you want to live? Are you living a life off of survival? fear, right? Which a lot of us do. We live our life off of fear because we're scared of failure. And what does Wachito mean to readily die for something you believe in? As you look back on your life, the windows of opportunity has closed. Your ability is no longer present.
Starting point is 00:07:03 And you think back that you could have been great. Right now, you had the ability to never had that debate inside your head. Because that's the debate you can never win. You can go back and forth, back and forth. There's no verdict. The jury's always going to be in a jury room. It's never going to come back saying, you did okay. What you will do is you will bury that deep inside. You won't tell anyone that you could have been this.
Starting point is 00:07:23 You will be second best to your true potential, and you'll live your life fine. But then one of your friends is going to succeed in some endeavor. And you're going to hate him for it. Because it's a success. It's a spotlight shining down on your missed opportunity. Should call, could call. Don't call on the wrong track.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Could change, should change, don't change. You're on the wrong track. Letters you haven't written, conversations you haven't had with your family, somebody you should sit down with when you get back home, get that job done. Don't let neglect, destroy your days, destroy your life and destroy your future. Go back and do what you can. And if you'll do what you can, then life will give you some extraordinary things to do. We all pity the man, right?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Wants to stride out of his house, go straightened up the corporation, has not yet straightened out his garage. You've got to take care of the small disciplines before life will give you a chance to handle the more complicated disciplines. The world has a strange way of stepping aside when somebody says, I'll do it or die. That's the game, right? Like either you're right or you're wrong. Either you win or you lose. But if you're going to come to me and tell me you don't have time in a world where I work every year, In second for 18 hours a day, right? You're going to have a tough time making me feel bad that it's not happening for you because that's part of it.
Starting point is 00:08:53 It's simple. It's now or never time. What would have had to have happened in a week for you to look back on that week with pride? Okay, maybe stop breaking promises to yourself. When you say I'm going to wake up tomorrow at 7 a.m. and when the option comes to hit the snooze button, don't do it. There's one win that you've got for the day. That's action.
Starting point is 00:09:17 So it all comes down to this moment. This moment is the only time we can transform. And I say join now or never. Don't miss the opportunity of this moment. Because the days are going to be long, but the months will be short. You have an opportunity. Seize the opportunity. We all get wake-up calls.
Starting point is 00:09:38 We get wake-up calls in our relationship. we get wake up calls in our finances. And some people, the phone's ringing off the hook right now. They're getting wake up calls on a bunch of things. They're at home with their family, and they're starting to realize I was disconnected from my family. I haven't been plugged in my. They've got a wake-up call on their relationships at home. They've gotten a wake-up call on, you know, I don't have any savings, and I'm deeply in debt.
Starting point is 00:10:02 This isn't working. And so the cool thing is when you get the call, then you have to make the choice. Are you going to answer the phone? If you pick the phone up, that means maybe it's time to change. Are you going to answer the phone? Are you going to change your life where you say, never again? Maybe it's time to increase your quality of life. Maybe instead of staying in the middle back seat, it's time to upgrade to the exit row.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Or business class. Or maybe it's time to eat at a different restaurant. Maybe it's time to really think about your money dial and say, hey, I always claim that wellness is important. and yet I'm still eating like the same old thing I used to eat 10 years ago. Maybe it's time to upgrade what I eat and where I work out and all that kind of stuff, my gear. You can do that. You've made it.
Starting point is 00:10:49 You already won the basic game. So now you get to benefit from it. I believe if you're the kind of person that has spent too much time thinking about where to go, that it's time to get in the car and start driving. And you have to be able to pivot quickly. You have to be able to adjust fast. You have to constantly be aware of the changes around you,
Starting point is 00:11:14 and you don't have time to kind of say, well, I'm going to give it six months and think about it. You give it six days and hit it. The fastest person doesn't win the race. It's the person who starts first. Be the now of what you want to be later. It starts right now. And if you're not doing the now,
Starting point is 00:11:33 don't have respect to later. be the person you want to look in the mirror. Everyone's like, oh, later in life, I want to do this. Later in life, I want to do that. Later in life is turning around looking the mirror right now. That's the later in life. And let's that turnaround is something in progression. Later in life, ain't going to be anything different.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Absolutely, you do whatever it takes, okay? Even if it risk your life, that's your dream. I made the decision that, look, this is what I want to do. Somebody's to give me an opportunity, I'm going to take advantage of it. I have 24 hours in the day. I try to take advantage of every hour. Yeah, most days I just want to wake up and make the most of the time I have. I realize it's finite.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Yeah. And I think I'm here for some purpose. That's what I was trained to believe in my own family, spiritually. Like, we're all here for some purpose to give. Then mostly I'm just like constantly worried that I'm not fulfilling that promise. I was like, wow, if I'm not pushing myself to do more, and to have more impact, then I'm not really taking full advantage of why I'm here. Because if you spend your time learning too much and never acting, you're going to fail, right?
Starting point is 00:12:44 If you spend your time acting, acting, acting, but you're never learning what you're doing, you're going to fail. If you spend your time chasing opportunity and never doing anything, you're going to be at best in some famous person's entourage, right? I think that's how those people end up there, because you see opportunity, but you never act. As humans, I realize, like, we all have these reservoirs and this untapped potential inside of us and can achieve these extraordinary things when we're focused, when we're showing, When we shine positivity in light, when we lean into those that we love and uplift and co-create together. But we usually don't pay attention to what's here right now.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Right now, you and I are here. Everything we think our story is, our accomplishments, our problems are BS. We're just this moment. It's true. And everyone watching this, if you really understand the highest truth of what's going on, we're all even. There's no, this person is better or less. And there's none of that. We're just this space that's here.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Now from here, you have skies the limit possibilities. I chased opportunity, like viciously chased opportunity. Then I learned once I got there, and then I didn't hesitate to apply it. You know, the worst thing you could ever do is if you're pursuing the wrong dream or if your dream changes and you don't change with it. I know from a personal level what that feels like to be in pain or to feel like you're not worthy. or that you're never going to be anything. And I was like, you know what? It's time for me to free my own mind.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Yeah. And resentment and anger and all these things that I kind of will just keep internally. It's time to rewrite this story. If you're about to make a change in your life and you feel uncomfortable, that's the best feeling you can have. Because for the first time in your life, you'll make another decision that's going to be best for you. Now is your soul? It's your time to win.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Time to make a difference. Now is your time to have an impact. Now is your time to make straight aides. Now is your time to be noticed. Now is your time to be heard. Now is your time to be seen. Now is your time to do this thing. It's your moment.
Starting point is 00:15:11 I've never feared any man in my life. We don't back down from anyone And that's what got me in trouble I don't play games I don't kiss anyone's ass And I'm a real man And if I die I want to die man What I am when I step on that quarters
Starting point is 00:15:26 You know, I become that I am that killer snake I'm stone cold man This is what I've chosen Why do I give up my life purpose So do or die And it's not a gloomy thing I'm just gonna make it happen
Starting point is 00:15:42 The other strength I had was that for me it was do or die. Where other people kind of called it quits and threw in the towel, I didn't have the choice. The fear didn't just drop off and let me just sit down for a bit, so I could go and go and go and go. I consider myself a do or die. Someone that has the fortitude, the work ethic, and the grit to turn all their passions into reality
Starting point is 00:16:07 by seeing it, believing it, planning it and doing it, it and doing it. I'm just saying that when the mind and the body connect and you don't give yourself a way out. The only way out for me at that time was death. I'm going to be a Navy SEAL. Or I'm going to die. Or I'm going to die trying. It's the moment you realize everything in your life has come to a point where you can either
Starting point is 00:16:31 stay where you are or you can pick up your bags. You can build the courage to move that inch. To move that inch in order to build even just the slightest bit of momentum. It's the time in your life where it's do or die. But the responsibility is supposed to be yours. And if you can't do it, you scratch, claw, and even die, trying to. The hustler is going to outwork everybody in the room. The hustler says, if me and you are on the treadmill, two things are going to happen.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying to beat you. Because I'm completely sold out to the dream division that I'm carrying. I am totally committed to this. Anything you want, you can get, but you have to be honest about it. Because if you don't love it and you ain't willing to die for it, don't do it. You ain't got to me be nowhere. I'm coming to get you. And every giant in your life, slay them.
Starting point is 00:17:31 You go back and slay them. Don't kill them. Slay them. It's do or die.
