For today's episode of Motivation Daily by Motivacy Podcasts, we are sharing a recent episode from the Morning Motivation Podcast. If you like it, go follow the show. New episodes are being released every week.

The link is in the description. Be the guy who embraces the ugly, the miserable. Be the guy who embraces hard work, the grind. Don't be afraid of being hurt. Don't be afraid of sacrificing some blood. Truth is, you're one decision away from changing your life. Sometimes you need to get knocked down before you can really. figure out what your fight is.

And we're in the same boat now. But you're thinking about what you could have been. I am exactly what I should have been. We all born with built in greatness. Everything that someone says in life, take it with a grain of salt. Start to stand up for yourself. Don't let anybody push you around. Tell you that you don't deserve something.

Make you uncomfortable. Make you feel less than you are not less. You are not less than stand up for you So no matter how you feel Get up and do what you're supposed to do That's it and that's discipline. That's the way it works When I look in the mirror I know that I've done Everything that I could like I've given everything I'm the best in the world

I can do this Look down over what you conquered Cut out all the fucking noise get back to the fucking mental lab Your mind takes control of you you have to say you I run this motherfucker Make things happen. It's time to get back to work. It doesn't matter how hard you work.

I'm willing to work harder than you. I know every motherfucker ain't going to do what I'm going to do. That's how you level up. Stop being average when your potential is crying to come outside of you more than that. No one will outwork me. No one. It's so easy to be great nowadays, my friend, because most people are weak. Most people don't want to go to that extra mile.

You don't want to find that extra because it sucks. Of course, Dala, without work is nothing you gotta be hungry people that are hungry are willing to do the thing today others won't do there's no excuse not to be the hardest one of you work you have to want it discipline is the single most important thing that you can use when it comes to being successful if we just worked a little bit harder and just took at a day at a time, our dreams would come true. Where have you been up to this point?

You look at your life, you look at what you produce. Is it giving you what you want? Are you living on purpose? Are you living your dream? Are you acting on your ideas? Are you doing all you can do? Have you gotten comfortable? Are you procrastinating?

Are you invading your own greatness? Are you surrounding yourself with people that can nourish you? Are you challenging yourself? Are you experimenting? Are you learning something different? Is your life an adventure or is it boring? Where have you been? When you're pursuing your greatness, you live from a place of the willingness to live life courageously to be willing to take chances to become a risk taker to make impact to go beyond believing to knowing to lean not into your own understanding, to feel within yourself.

There's some cause as something that's bigger than me, but I'm never alone in facing this. See, we don't have the courage, and that's what it takes courage. It takes guts to do that what you know you need to do. If you don't have the courage to act, life many times will move on you and make you act. Life will whip your butt so bad. You will be so miserable, you will catch so much hell. You say yes. I will do it.

What do you want me to do? Take me. You've got some ideas, some dream, that you might have to go back and brush it off and look at it again. And say, I've got to do this. This is my stuff. This is what I'm supposed to do. This is why I showed up. Where are you going with your life?

What decisions are you making right now? As you look into the future, it's necessary that you get outside of your comfort zone. It's necessary that you develop some new relationships where you can learn from people. It's necessary that you do reading, that you do research. It's necessary if you're already involved in some business that you don't be satisfied with where you are. You want to make it a date? It's necessary for you to constantly look at ways of getting better. Not all is it possible for you to have your dream.

And it's necessary for you to challenge yourself to go after and get better and leverage relationships that can help you get to where you want to go, but it's you. The major key to your reaching your dream, you're living up to your greatness, you're making your contribution, is you. It's great when they're not tired. This is when they're tired. That's when the real champions come out. That's when that real dog come out.

That's where I think the real truth comes out because I think there are a lot of people who are very talented who can make it there. There are very few people who can deal with the pressure and stress that happens when we're there. I feel I'm the best ever. It's not bragging the bullshit. The proof is in the pudding. In my mind, I'm always the best. I am the greatest fighter of all times.

And when I hit you with a hard right hand, you will fall. You've got to win tomorrow. You've got to win right now. If you're passionate about what you're doing, keep going, keep believing, reach for the stars. stars. Everything is always impossible until someone does it. Maybe it has never been done before. That's perfectly fine with me, but I'm going to do it. Never say never, because limits like fears are often just an illusion. If you look at the greats in any walk of life, the greats do things when they don't always want them. And that's the separation.

It means you have to be more disciplined than not discipline. I wanted to be the best I could be, period. I was waiting for you to smile at some of the compliments. You didn't. Smiling doesn't win you go in Meadows. Too fast, I'm too skillful, and I'm going to show everybody out there watching the show and the whole world, and the world will vow

and admit that I am the greatest of all times when you see what I do to George Pullman. I believe that whatever I put my mind to, and if I was willing to make sacrifices, and I was dedicated, that I could achieve absolutely anything. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and of Michigan most ruthless champion has ever been. There's no one could stop me. I'd like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody. Maybe someone's, he don't like me because maybe I'm too good. You win some, you lose some.

But you live. You live. another day. I've always believed like I'm the Michael Jordan of this industry. When I'm on the air, I'm the one that will make you want to hear from me. I don't care who I'm on the air. I don't care who it is. It does not matter to me. By the time I finish speaking, I am the one that you're going to want to listen to. That's my attitude. If this requires 100% and you give me 99, I might want to fire you. Because I'm not, I'm about getting the job. It's about the results. And I think that, you know, unfortunately, when we look at our generation

today, not enough people preach about that. Because I think that we live in a society where people have become masters of pointing the finger at other people as to reasons why things don't get done. I think there's too much explanation that goes on. But the bottom line is you ain't getting it done. And if you're not getting it done, I need somebody that can get it done. I am of the belief that you truly, truly adopt that belief in your soul, do you walk to work every day? Not looking for excuses. You're looking for a way for the job to get done. And in most instances, you are going to be successful.

Then I. You want to go with status quo. You're perfectly fine with flowing along, just to get along, safe, secure, safe, secure, whatever. But when you're trying to win, you're constantly looking to get better. My philosophy is very, very simple when it comes to my family, particularly, you know, me being a dad. If they're hungry, it's because I'm starving. I don't eat until they eat. I'm not comfortable until they're comfortable.

I don't have unless they have. That's the mentality, and that's the mentality that I strictly get for my mother. And so for me, you know, having that kind of mentality, but what comes with that, What comes with that is a certain work ethic that you have to put forth. And it's a willingness to sacrifice. Am I the most disciplined person in the world? No. Am I the most meticulous person in the world? Like some people would believe, no, I'm meticulous enough and I'm disciplined enough.

But I think the key thing is that the bottom line is everything to me. And whatever the bottom line requires is what I'm going to do. If the bottom line requires an excessive level of discipline, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. But to me, it's whatever the moment or the situation demands. And it's I'm a bottom line oriented kind of person. You don't assume that opportunities are waiting for you. You know obstacles or standing in if you do.

Right. So that challenge that you have to embrace and you have to deal with, that's hard to deal with when you have achieved. You don't work hard to play hard. You work hard to have the ability to play with you. There's a difference. You handle your responsibilities first. When you work hard and you have that sense of pride,

it goes right out the window if you utilize your efforts in a long fashion. But when you do what's right and it's based off of that effort that you put in, then you feel good about it because you took care of your responsibilities. Then you can go. And I was not always confident. There's no doubt about that. I've always had my insecurities. What I firmly believed in was as it pertain to me,

was that I always worked hard. I was never lazy. I was always somebody that believed in hard work. Better on yourself is believing in you. Knowing who you are, one year worth, having an idea about it anyway, and willing to work towards that, to validate that reality.

That's betting on yourself. It's your job. And if you can't do it, you scratch, claw, and even die. We make excuses every day. All of us as human beings. On far more occasions than not, I have to speak on the issue of accountability

as it pertains to the entire sports world. And when it comes to the issue of accountability, I get all of that from mom. It happened with even with even though. happened with ESPN when my contract wasn't renewed back in 2008. I was sitting at the, I felt betrayed. I felt ticked off. My mother let me lick my wounds for a couple of days.

And then she said, what could you have done better? You sure you didn't do anything? And I thought about all of someone like, what is she talking about? This is just not true. This is not right. I work hard. I do this. I do that.

And then I started thinking about it. Yeah, I was a pain in the ass. I did kind of complain a little bit too. much. But the biggest thing that I remember doing is that I always came to the bosses with problems. I never came to them with solutions. It was always about the problem, never the solution. And I learned when I sat back and reflected on the mistakes that I had made in my career at the time, I learned that no boss wants to talk to anybody that doesn't have solutions. Instead, Instead of working around the clock trying to figure out what somebody else wants from you, good or bad, there are moments that crystallizes it for you in your mind.

Pay attention and you'll see what they are. Yeah. And you'll know what to do according. That is what I believe makes me the best. It's my commitment to excellence for the collective whole. Be the guy who embraces the ugly, the miserable. Be the guy who embraces hard work, the grind. Don't be afraid of being hurt.

Don't be afraid of a sacrifice to some blood. It's the moments in life, the decisions you make on a moment-to-moment basis that add up to be the guy or not the guy. Tonight I did something, you know, that feel more of a guy for me, who I'm not the guy. For me, who I am, my guy. Make the hard decisions, make the sacrifices, make the unpopular decisions, and become comfortable in your own skin. And if you are not a person that you are comfortable being alone with, that is the one person

in this universe that you have full power, full right, full responsibility to change. If you were to create a human, what would you put them through to make them reach your whole life? What would you put them through to make them patient? We probably wouldn't give them things immediately. And so it's like we want these trades, but each of the traits has a price tag attached to it. It's just like, do you want to pay the price tag to get the thing? And so I think if people reframe the period of life that they're going through

as the price that they're paying out of their wallet, but the wallet is their time, as the seconds of life that they're trading for it, then I think more people will be willing to make the trade. Because at least when I look at myself, like when I'm 80-something years old and looking back in my life, I want to add these traits. But in order to have those traits, I know I have to go through these things.

But I think for me, that's given me a lot of. Right now in life, your family is looking for that one guy right now. They're looking for that one guy who's strong, who's that pillar for the family in hard times. Make sure they look around, they look around and find you. These are the times right now for you to step up. Be that guy that can take anything. Stay hard. The biggest regret of the dying is never becoming your ideal self.

I do believe that we're thrust in the world that we don't fit in. And I believe the journey is that a lot of people sell your bill of goods along their way. That if you get some awards, you mean something. You go to a certain school, you're cute, classical beauty, you got the right man, you got the right zip code, and you swim through all that filthy swill until you come to the, really really stark conclusion that I want to leave this earth becoming who I know deep within I am supposed to be the next time you want to just give in to that

desire for comfort remember that your future self is going to be the one to suffer the consequences so easy to just put it off and act like it doesn't exist but that future self that you're passing all these burdens to will one be yourself of the present and you'll wish you chose to do otherwise. Everything that you do counts. The biggest mistake that people make is they think that only what they want to count counts. You read a book, when you listen to an audio program, when you go to a course, when you go to bed early and get up early and you work, it all counts.

Never fucking apologize for being yourself. If people don't like how you act, how you look, how you speak, that just means those aren't your fucking people. Don't change who you are to match your surroundings. Pick better for your surroundings and be yourself. I don't know. Most men would understand that when a man cries and he's whimpering, he's hurting. You know, because I've been there. And there's no shame in crying, gentlemen. Men, it's okay to cry.

We can still be a man, but you're also human. And it does show a little bit of your vulnerability. Do it for your loved ones. Do it for your wife. Do it for your husband. Do it for your children. Do it for generations to come. Generations to come.

Come on, after you're dead and gone, what will they say about what you did? Yes, there's so many people depending on you, but it's gotta start with you and the man upstairs. This is your day. Get up and conquer your day. You tell you something about self-doubt. You have to conquer it.

If you let self-doubt rule your decisions, you'll never get anywhere. If you don't believe in yourself, nobody will. So be bold, be relentless, and never let anyone stand in your way. This is my day to read a new book. This is my day to start a journey. This is my day to make an investment.

This is my day to invest in myself. This is my day and this is my time and it's my turn. Is the day I take it seriously. I got one window. I may not be here tomorrow. The biggest regret of the dying is never becoming your ideal self. You got the focus.

on conquering today. This is the moment, the moment of truth for you to understand that within you, there are great possibilities. It all starts the moment you take responsibility and say to yourself, nothing is going to shape my destiny but me. You will go through things and while you're going through them, you can't understand why it's happening to you. But after you go through it, you get back and look at it and you say oh now I understand why I needed that lesson then I saw that that was preparing me for bigger and better things you still have time don't quit don't give up you still have time you can do it you can make it happen but

you can't do it to procrastinate you can't do it talking about it right but there's a total different feeling when you accomplish stuff you got a different level of credibility from people people see you different people are willing to do things for you that they've never done before. You have credibility that you never have before. And so I encourage you. I encourage you. Follow through. I got to trust

that I am someone that somebody believes in. You've got to believe that you've got to stand on your faith. You've got to stand on your strength. You've got to stand on who you are. Take back control of your

life. Stop being a victim. Stop letting life push you a and start fighting back. Because the minute you tell yourself that you control this is the minute you can start to change it. What made my last excuse yesterday, my last reason, I came up with my last reason yesterday of why I can't do what I'm supposed to do. This is your day. You've got a window.

You've got another 24 hours. Another opportunity to forgive somebody. Another opportunity to let it go. Another opportunity to look up and get up. I'm just wondering when are you going to do this? point to seize the opportunity. You. Yeah, nothing changes and nothing changes, man.

You know, we'll sit around forever, wondering, well, what if I, you know, what if I was a dog catcher, would I be the best? What if I was a, you know? Every day we change the world. But to change the world in a way that means anything, that takes more time than most people have, it never happens all at once. It's slow. It's methodical.

It's exhausting. I have the stomach for him. What if it's a mistake? It's a mistake. Rest assured. What do you know? You're going to stumble around, right? And what's going to happen is this. You're going to move to you're going to not stay in stasis.

You're not going to wander around in circles. And I see people like that. They said, well, I never knew what to do, and now I'm 40. It's like, that's not so good. That's not so good. And you might say, well, and there is a literature, too, that suggests that people are a lot more unhappy when they look back in their lives

about the things they didn't do than they are about the mistakes they made while they were doing things. It's how they get you to give up. They say it's not that simple of any. So what's the truth? That it is. I want people to understand that they're not alone,

that there are other people feeling exactly the way they're feeling, that their behavior is not insane, that they have a disease, and it's not their fault. There's a very famous kind of line that people don't change. I happen to know that people do change, and I see that every day. I see people getting better. I see the lights in their eyes come on. There's a million excuses I could make to rationalize, not getting up early, doing the ice bath, and going for a run.

There comes a time with all these potential excuses turn into fuel that motivates you to keep going. You got to get out there. You got to give it everything you got, whether it's your time, your talent, your prayers, or your treasures. Because remember this, you will never see a U-Haul behind a hearse. If you want to know something about yourself, sit on your bed one night and say,

what's one thing I'm doing wrong, that I know I'm doing wrong, that I could fix, that I would fix. You meditate on that, you'll get an answer. And it won't be one you want, but it'll be the necessary one. It's the whole issue. People have a feeling that they can change, but they have no effort. They don't want to get into game because they feel it's, you know, it's just too much time.

It doesn't work, and I tried it, and it didn't work, and then they give up, and then life just goes on it. I got one question I asked you. Can you do this thing alone? I've trained 99% of my life alone. No one pat me on the back. I did all of the work alone. Wolves don't lose sleep over the opinions of a lesser species.

Be alone. Go to that dark space. You may not want to fight that battle, but you need to. A beast is someone who can go through hell and be grateful that their legs are working. What are you? Are you a sheep or you a wolf? When you train alone, I can take myself to such a level of real, real passion and purpose. Nobody's going to feed us.

You've got to feed yourself. The feeling I get is something I can't even expect. I don't need anyone. It's on you. You've got to want it as bad as you want to breathe. Success starts with you. It's all. on you. If you want to be strong, you gotta learn to fight alone. Yes, you're tired. Yes, your mind is

saying give up. Yes, it's saying quit, but you cannot quit because you realize you have not reached the goal yet. Day in and day out, you've got to keep on working. And if you get knocked down, so what? And get up. Nobody's going to believe in you until you've already done. Nobody's going to come and celebrate with you until you've already done it. Which means you're going to have to work for a long time by yourself with no applause, with no awards. No one's going to believe in you in the beginning. Nor should they. Be okay with me. I have to do it alone. I will.

Start alone. But get started. I'm thankful to see another day. No, things aren't what I want to be. No, I don't have all the things I want to have. But I'm thankful that I'm still here. I have another opportunity. another day to live another chance to contribute another chance to make a difference in life

it is ridiculously impossible to become a human being I am one I have other good things going for me as a human being and I'm just grateful you your dwelling and looking at what you don't have versus looking at what you have are alive against stupendous you are breathing air observing sunsets gazing into the night sky Most people who could exist will never experience that. I need to constantly remind myself, I'm not yet where I want to be, but I know I'll get there.

I'm not where I want to be, but I'm grateful. I am so grateful that I'm not where I used to be. I find ten things to be grateful for before my feet hit the ground. Ten things, and they can can't cost money and especially if I'm feeling strained in stress I go over my gratitude says because gratitude will reduce stress all day long. Happiness only requires that you are grateful if you've got a billion dollars and three beautiful children that love you and a beautiful husband or wife but doesn't matter what you have if you're not grateful if you live in an emotional home

habitual pace of worry or frustration your life's called worry and frustration. Perspective And once you see gratitude and opportunity, life is fun. You get to decide if you're going to dwell and play pre-vent defense, or if you're going to see opportunity and be grateful and go on office. I am not where I want to be, but I am so grateful. I am not where I used to be. 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. You have to stay grateful. You can't take things for granted. We have so much abundance in the world, so much opportunity, and too many people are crying

about what they don't have instead of being so deeply grateful for what they have. All you can, within your power and the power of others who love you, to maximize what you can be, what you can think, what you can learn, how you can love, whatever it is. That's what you've got. Use it. Do it your way. You don't need their permission, but you need yours. You don't need their permission, but you do need yours.

You do need to look at yourself and declare who you are, and you need to believe it. Do you think my dreams are too big? I said, absolutely not. You're just telling them to the wrong person. For some of you, the reason why you're not taking advantage of this opportunity is not because you don't believe in it. You don't believe in you. In order to achieve greatness, you must first believe you can.

Because I get to decide I'm running my life now. I'm finally in control of my life. I'm finally the boss of my life. Are you ready to be the boss of your own life? Are you ready to be in control of your own life? Are you ready? You deserve to have everything you want. You deserve to live your best life.

You deserve it. And stop listening to the people who tell you you don't. Kill the noise. What do they know? We're going to do the hard work now. So here's the hard work. I need you to confront you. I was created to be great.

I was created to do great things. I was created to have great things and I will no longer ask others for their permission. That person who is your hater, They thought they defeated you. That person who told you you'll never amount to anything. They thought they defeated you. You want me to tell you to give up?

Huh? You want me to tell you to quit? Is that what you want me to say? You want to hear E.T. say, it's all right to give up. It's all right to surrender. That's what you want me to say. But listen to me, Grant, I can't tell you that. Some of us just grind.

Some of us don't make excuses. Some of us don't surrender. Some of us don't give up and give it. It's our dream. Nobody's going to see it like you do it. It's your dream. Nobody's going to feel it like you can feel it. It's your dream. Nobody's going to be as dedicated to it as you are. It's your dream and they don't have to understand and they don't have to like it and they don't have to do it. It doesn't make a difference. It's your dream and you my friend have been given the task to make it happen and you can't let anything stop you from doing what you were called to do. What we do with the pressure is we say I got to take it. I gotta take it to another level. Once you start questioning yourself, you already lost. All of us will be successful in life if we don't quit. I gotta believe in me before anybody else believe in me.

It's time to stay focused. It's time to decide clubs, partying, trying to fit in and socialize, rub elbows with everybody so people can stop calling you weird. Why are you so anti-social? because I'm trying to get it. Why are you staying on the basketball court so much because I'm trying to get it? Why are you out there practicing in the hot sun

when ain't nobody else out there? Because I'm trying to get it. Why are you not clubbing? Like every time I text you and invites you to go do some fun and cool, you always studying, because I'm trying to get it. I'm just thinking how funny it is where I'm gonna be tomorrow morning and my competition. Still drinking down, they're fierce

and they're trying to escape their current reality, you know, Friday night party. So they're going to go out there and party it up and everything else. You find some relief to the stressful life they live in. That's a bullshit temporary relief. I'm working tonight for a permanent relief. That's why I laugh. I laugh on how much further I'm getting ahead of it.

Mental toughness isn't something that you sample. It's something that you live in every day. So when something hard would happen to these kids, like in Hell Week, it would draw on something that made them very insecure. And they look for comfort. Whenever hardness comes, and you don't know what it is. It may be different for you than this for me,

but you go back to your insecurities. And then when you go back to the insecurities, you then look for comfort within those insecurities. And we all look for that cookie that your mom used to give you when you were sad, when you were sick. We look for our wife or our husband. We look for comfort.

It's in those moments. You must retrain your mind to think differently. What if I told you this was the last Monday morning of your life? How do you stay driven? I'm going to ask you a question, how don't you stay driven? Let me get this right. You won the lot of the universe, which is you are a human being on earth. And you're not driven, and you're not fired up,

and you're not going for it, and you're willing to sit like a lump lump and just wait till you die, you suck. It gets harder for anybody that's living and breathing. So no matter what you do, you got to keep moving forward, strong in the trenches. You don't know where you're going. You're lost, you know what I mean? You have no direction. So for me, I felt like both of them together, when you really, when you had the vision

and you're able to manifest, and you also put the work in magic habits. Magic happens, man. Magic. That's where the magic is, but a lot of people never get there. Unfortunately, a lot of people are, we're blessed that we can dream. I got to get stronger. I got to train differently. The weight training program that I'm doing, I got to tailor it for an 82 game season. So that when the playoffs come around, my legs are stronger and that ball gets there. So I look at it with rationale and say, okay, well, the reason why I shot airball is because my legs aren't there. I got, well, next year they'll be there. That was it. Done.

Done. Where are your values behind the scenes? What do your habits look like behind the scenes? Come on. What kind of work are you putting in behind the scenes? Come on, drop down and give me 50. Come on. Write it again.

Come on. Sing again. Record the song again. Come on. I'm talking to that athlete. I'm talking to that musician. Come on. Who are you out there?

When you are comedians, you give everything you have. Every single day, you are either losing ground or gaining ground. The choice is yours. This time, make it person. Attitude goes a long way. So again, going back to this guy here, Chadwick Bozeman, rest in peace, passes away. Four years has calling cancer.

No one knows about it. He goes to the doctor. That means that this doesn't mean he's not taking care of his body. He's going to the doctor, but he doesn't advertise his pain. Sometimes it's just good not to advertise your pain. Sometimes it's good to not just tell the whole world what you're going through. I'm not telling you, don't talk about it with a group of people. I'm not telling you have some private conversations with certain people.

I do believe in the ability to have some kind of a form of a release. But the way people are doing it right now, posting everything on Instagram, all this other stuff, what's the point behind it? You need attention? Is that what you need? It's not necessarily mental toughness. Mental toughness people are not looking for attention. Mental toughness people are trying to get results.

A big difference. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't f around, I don't party, I don't go out. Am I lame for that? Absolutely. To be lame in the eyes of somebody I would never want to be like is nothing but an absolute success. You see, it's only an uncertain person that needs company and what they do to feel like it's the right thing.

But real confidence stems from doing what's best for you, even if that means doing what's best for you. even if that means doing it alone. My biggest confidence comes from consistently pushing myself and leaving no gap between what needs to be done and what I do on day 1962 in a row of running every morning. Look who's out here with me.

Not a soul. That's just fine. There's no such thing as a free lunch. There's no magic pill. And there are no three easy payments of $9.99. If you want something, if you want to be good at something, you want to accomplish something, you've got to put in the time. And the minimum amount of time that you can put in is an hour a day of dedicated practice

for six straight months. If you want to be good at something, you've got to do it every day. Like we look at people like LeBron James. Why is he good at basketball? Because he does it every day. You look at Wayne Gretzky in hockey. Why was Wayne so good? in hockey arguably the greatest of all time because he did it every day and so my

number one piece of advice to people if you want to be good at something whatever that thing that you desire is whatever your passion is do it every single day that's the real secret to success hustle is putting it all in a line hustle is waking up one day the day before you die and realizing you gave it your all into the parenting of your children the building of your businesses the philanthropy that you wanted to do whatever you define it's just you know all in well there's a difference between something missing and am i satisfied right because i'm not satisfied i mean i always want to like i never i never get done with the end of

the day and go cool mission accomplished like it's like you're gonna be close yeah et aren't you ready to take a break yes i might be but listen to me i can't why because i grind for jland i grind for jada i grind for dd i grind for my mother are you hearing what i'm telling you i grind for Vanessa I hustle for so the days I want to hit that alarm clock I think about my why I can't quit the Achilles were like the kiss of death yeah athletes like yes I don't I don't know if I can do this I don't know it's so many factors is the surgery that has to take place the surgery has to go well right and then just it's a tendon I'm not dealing with anything that's muscular things that I can control I can't control attendant you

know what I'm saying so like I don't know miss it's a long long process. But like when I went in the trainers room, my kids are in there and you know, they're looking at you and stuff and I'm looking at them and I'm like, you know, it's all right. It's all right. It'll be fine. It'll be all right. It'll be all right. It'll be all right. As a parent, you've got to set the example. You got to set the example. This is another obstacle. This obstacle cannot define me. It's not going to cripple me. It's not going to be responsible for me stepping away for the game that I love. I'm going to step away on my mind. own terms and that's when the decision was made that you know what I'm doing it

doing it champions keep going when they don't have anything left in their tank that's the difference between the greats that's what separates them when they don't have no more when it's over when they're tired when they're frustrated when they're ready to give up when they spent their last dime that's when they get started are you hearing me is when you have nothing left it's when you depleted all your money, when all your energy go, when you have nothing left, that's when it's showtime. When you find the way out of no way, when you find breathe breath that you don't have, 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. You still got work to do. Stay on that basketball court. Stay on that football field. All the homies texting and calling and trying to make you feel about being so focused. It's grind season, only. It's not about today. It's about the future. You do the work now. Do the work now.

And all of this that you could ever want to do for your family, your kids, your loved ones, it's all going to be on a whole other stratosphere. I need you to make up in your mind that you're going to trade all self-limitation for absolute breakthrough and abundance in every era of your life.

It's your turn. It's your turn. It's your. your time. You've waited long enough. Opportunity is everywhere. Inches to grow. It's everywhere. It's right at your fingertips. It's right before your eyes. This is the place where your hunger for change changes everything. Hunger is what's going to get you to this next level. Hunger and commitment. That I'm not just here to contribute to the idea that I can fulfill something, but I am committed willing to sacrifice everything to fulfill my destiny. I am not defined by the mistakes I've made in my past. I learn from them. Let me tell you something.

You've got to stop weaponizing your past. You are allowing your past to eat away at your present. You need to learn the lessons of your mistakes. Forgive yourself and forgive others so you can move forward. You've got a luminous, brilliant, powerful future. This time to step in And now you can use the mistakes that you have made. You can use the memories of the trauma and the people that you have had to forgive to teach someone else how to let go and start living their best life. I need you to say a few things with me. My spirit is renewed. My mind is set for it.

I am not defined by my past hurts. I forgive those who have hurt me. I will take captive every negative thought and memory and I will release it from my heart. from my heart. I welcome a life filled with abundance and positive thoughts. I am not held back by the spirit of offense. I am compassionate with myself. I have patience with myself. I am honest with myself and others.

I'm real. I'm wrong. I'm straightforward. I am authentically me. I am able to love and I am able to receive love. I am set free because I am able to forgive and move on. on. I'm focused on the present. I'm building my future. I am pursuing my destiny. I'm excited for the love that God has for me. I am worthy of God's best life for me. I release all mental and emotional baggage. I am becoming day by day, minute by minute, moment by moment, inch by inch,

the person that God has destined to be. Inch by inch, you win by inches. Life is won. You've got to see the inches. You are inches away from the best life that you have ever had. See the opportunity. This is the year that I get crystal clear on my values, on my parameters, on my non-negotiables. This is the year that I make an investment in myself. This is the year. Stop tiptoeing, stop straddling the fence. Stop dating the idea. that you could be successful. You keep dating it, you keep thinking about it, you keep talking about it. It is possible to fully commit yourself to something.

It is possible to accomplish what you see in your head, to hold it in your hand. Possible. The question is, can you give your all? We have conditioned ourselves to give 50%, 60%, we have normalized not putting all in. We have normalized not giving something our all. Why? Because we're afraid we're going to lose because we're afraid we're going to be rejected because we're afraid we're going to give our all and it still won't be enough. The time is now. It's time. It's time to break through the disempowering limited belief systems that

we've carried our whole life. There was a future that I desire. I believe in the power of my future and as much as life has done. trying to amputate my spirit. I refuse to go down. I refuse to stop here. I refuse to let go. I refuse to give in. I refuse to keep living at 50%.

This is my year that I give everything a lot. You've got the strategy. You've done your homework. You've got the belief system. Now just put it in. Stop doubting yourself. You got to learn to practice self-compassion and remember your past achievements. If you're going to remember anything from the past, remember how you overcame something.

Stop trying to compare yourself to other people. Be mindful of how you're thinking. Spend more time with people that believe in your dream. Spend more time with people that are life-giving and life-changing. You're going to learn how to find your validation from within, that you don't need anybody to validate you, to affirm you, to be a life-changing. leave you first it starts with you if I believe in me then everybody else comes after that this is not the year that I play around with my life this is not the year that I sit and wait for destiny to hop me down I will hunt everything down that belongs to me

life is not just a game of attraction it is a game of hunting it is a game of evolving to become the best version of yourself putting in the work. I want to get crystal clear on my level one priorities. A wise man once said that our dreams never grow wings in the stillness of the night. They take shape by the moves we make. That failure has come again and again as sure as night follows the day. But there is no wisdom in our mistakes unless we avoid repeating them. And while our future may inspire us, today will define us. This is your moment to decide.

Will you continue on living the life that you have lived? Or will you unlock your greatest potential? Hear my voice. Drop it in the comments. I'm all in. I'm all in. Comment below. I'm all in.

I'm all in. I'm all in. This is the year I give it everything I have. This is the year I stopped complaining about the past. This is the year that I don't make excuses. This is the year that I embrace. Grace my non-negotiables. This is the year that if I see it in my head, I can hold it in my hand.

Stop devaluing your past achievements. There are things that you have accomplished. There are things that you have overcome. People have neglected you. People have overlooked you. People have underrated you. And you overcame it. Life has hit you as hard as it could and you're still alive.

And you can hear my voice and you're listening to me now. Don't devalue that. That is an achievement. That is a win. I know that you've got this bro. broad stroke vision and that you see the end game but there are things along the way that we accomplish that we cannot ignore I am somebody I am good enough I am growing I am growing wiser I am growing stronger there is something more this talk this

moment this speech this video is for those who are unwilling to sound from us those who are done with just enough those who are done with poverty and lack those who are done living paycheck to paycheck, those who are done just living a mundane, ordinary life. Be grateful for the paycheck that if you've been called for more, go after more. I'm putting it all in. I'm putting it all in alive. I'm not afraid of rejection. I'm not afraid of failure.

I'm giving it everything I had. I'm all in. Are you all in? Put it in the chat. I'm all in. Drop it in the comment. I'm all in. How good you are in anything, you don't have discipline, you ain't nobody.

Because you give up with the slightest struggle without discipline. Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it. You might not know this now, but you're this close, igniting your inner champion and reclaiming your destiny. If it's just that I want to be up more than anybody in the planet want me to be down. Be champion before you become champion. Wanting to get the best out of yourself, not competing with it.

anyone else but you. 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 that's why, regardless of being a fight in the day, I'm a man, and that's why I want to be a man. And if I die, I want to die, man. And when you really focus, you hear everything. When I come to the ring, I notice everybody can hear you breathing. I can hear you talking, I hear everything.

When I come out, I have to hear everything. When I come out, I have a surprise. I'm scared to death. I'm totally afraid. I'm afraid of everything. I'm afraid of losing. I'm afraid of being humiliated. But I'm totally confident.

Close I get to a ring, more confidence I get. The closer and more confidence I get, the closer more confidence I get. But as close I get to the ring, I'm more confident. Once I'm in the ring, I'm a god. No one can beat me. There's no one who's happening. The world will know my name till the end of time. That's who I was.

I didn't want nothing to get something. And when I said something, I mean the crown. You knew from the beginning the world was going to know who Mike Tyson was? 100%. Yeah. At what age did you know that? 14. Why is that?

Because I was beating everybody at 14. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. More than my skills, I had the mindset. To kill, destroy, break them down. It's just, I'm the greatest. You know, success is all about a lifestyle. I live the, um, lifestyle is the champion. champion.

In order to be the champion, you have to live a lifestyle with the champ. It's all about discipline doing what you hate to do but doing it like you love it. That's what it's all about. If you don't have discipline, I don't care of skill for you, you're nothing. You don't want to be the best ever, why are you here? Confidence breeds success and success breathed confident. It's all about the belief that you can do it. Belief is more powerful than anything.

The only thing we can do is just have that focus and believe in ourselves and believe that I want to be up, then anybody in the world wants me to be down. And it's all about what, like I said before, self-belief. My whole success is from belief. I just believe in me. Come, all my adversity. The truth will set you free, but it's going to make you miserable first. And that's how we improve as a person, improving ourselves.

You have to first have the aptitude to do what you claim you want to do. And if you have that, and the determination and the will to win, there's nothing that you can't do. Compared to anybody that tries, nothing's impossible then. Confidence breeds success, success breeds confidence, and confidence applied properly with superseded genius. Life is just a circle. They're gonna hate me again one day. Then God willing, they're gonna respect me again one day. Because in order to be a master, you have to first be a fool, I guess.

You have to believe in yourself before you believe in anything else. God, you live in. You have to believe in you. And once you believe in you and have a relationship with you, it's nothing that you can't do. I have to be the champion in this. To be the champion in this, win the day. So that's why exercise is important to leave your stress.

When in the morning, you win the day. And so I realized life is all about, in here, it's all about your belief system. Face fear. Never lose when you face it. Trust me, never lose when you face fear. No, my mistakes don't define us. High points don't define us.

Life defines us. As long as you have happy moments, take as many as you can, because life is just a flick of the eye. Well, that's what life is about. You got to sit in your room sometime, give your subconscious some time, and spend time in a vision.

and just inventing yourself doing, being with the most exciting people in the world, doing the most exciting things in the world, and just living that fantasy, and that fantasy would become reality one day. Discipline could be taking your allusions and turn them into reality. You dream for yourself something bigger than what you can ever imagine and you become it. Now, that's discipline. In order to be able to change anything, you have to change yourself. You know, I have to look in the mirror and say, what do I want to do to make me a better person?

Or what is it that I can do that could define myself as being a better person than I am now? You know, who can I help? Who could I worship? Who can I do something to or wit that would make me feel like a better person to help me reach my highest potential? You have to find that for us. What is the guy that I can do and help people? You know, that's all I think about how can we help somebody? Visualizing and looking into the mirror, that's what is.

It's all about touching your inner core of your consciousness. I don't believe in talent. Well, some people, they have talent. That's good. It helps when you have talent. As long as you have a lot of determination and willpower, that's all you need. And you have to have the will to win.

How do you figure anybody with the will to win and desire not to lose will succeed? I would think of myself as a roaring gladiator, like Alexander the Great. I feel like I'm a ruler when I'm in my mind, thinking about a conflict. something I think possible nothing's impossible to somebody who tries so I never think about failure in that perspective I think about feeling but not in that

perspective I need the pressure without the pressure there's no me without the pressure I don't have the guts this to say hey I'm a fight this guy I have to have the pressure anything that I'm afraid to do I do it and that's just how I live by life the more you're comfortable with you the more you be comfortable with you the more comfortable with death and the more comfortable you are with death the more peace you are with yourself I knew never to get discouraged I knew I would get my day if I continue to try hard and believe in myself and I'm going to die being who I am and I'm going to live being who I am this is just who I am all about what you believe I got belief in myself and belief is more powerful than anything

you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe then you'll be successful. And when you get to success, it's not about skill. When you get to a certain level of success, it's about stamina. It's sweat, it's broad, it's tears. There are no shortcuts to success. Stop thinking they are. And stop wanting people to put you somewhere that you didn't earn.

I fought too long. I fought too hard. I will break you before you break me. What do you do when a thousand other, people want exactly what you want. Decisions you make right now is up to you. I really feel like if I do these things, I'm going to be successful. Execute on the things that you said you were going to execute all.

You have to outwork them. You've got to get up earlier. You've got to stay up later. You've got to execute it. The reason why I speak with so much passion, because I'm just, you're talking about my life, not something that I read. There is no excuse but not living up to the fullest potential. No excuse.

Don't let your words guide you, let your actions guide you. Now listen to me, I don't care if you sick, I don't care what you're going through. As long as you waking up, you're still in the game. As long as you are, you can still make it happen. As long as that breath in your nostrils, you're still in the game. You still can win. Now get your butt up. I do not believe in you more than you believe in yourself.

They looked at the most successful men and women of the world, and they found that they had like seven, eight things in common. And one of the things they all had in common was a routine. They are obsessed with their routine. There are those of you in this room. You spend a majority of your life doing what other people want you to do. You don't even know who you are. And so even what you're doing, you're not doing at 120%

because you're doing what somebody else wants you to do. And you're not good enough to be. somebody else I need you to be selfish on the dream piece because what you have to understand is when you know who you are and you start operating that you're gonna start blessing people in the way you couldn't bless people before when you didn't really know who you were I don't want nothing from you but for you to lead this room and know what you want what do you want in your marriage what do you want with your son and your daughter what do you want in your health what do you want

financially like how do you want to live stop just waking up like an accident what do you want and then once you find Find out what you want, spend the rest of your natural life waking up and going after it. One day I made a decision that enough is enough. I'm tired of being average. I'm tired I made a decision enough is enough. It's show time Listen to me very closely when you graduate and you get a job if you want to get paid you never say no you never say it can't get done. Don't you ever say out your mouth it can't get done. Even if you feel in your heart It can't get done.

You don't say it out loud. You let the broke folks say that. You let the folks they find first say that. You always say it can get done. Even if you don't think it can get done, just say it and try to make up something. You have to give it everything you got. No more TV, no more parties, no more plan. If you have a 4.0, what you need to be doing is studying.

Get off the phone. Sorry, I'm not available until the end of this year. No, I'm for real. You've reached the right number, but you called me at the wrong time. Help me back January 1st. I'm about to get busy now. Whatever you do, I guarantee you when you do it, nobody can do it like you do it. The problem is you don't hardly do it.

Love sleep too much. You love that alcohol too much. You love that something too much. You love that vice too much. That's something that you love more than yourself. I don't care what level you get to. I need you to dream. I need you to focus on why you were born in the first place.

Why are you here on earth for this particular time? time. What are you doing here? It feels good being me. Because guess what? I can never be sweet being you. You need to tell you that you owe you something. There are those of you saying I want to be a millionaire. I want to be the best at this company, right? But your value system says you believe in sleep more than you believe in grinding. Your value system says you are a consumer and not a producer. I guarantee you the world is yours. So what you are? work hard and you can have whatever it is you want. Rich people don't waste time.

They realize it's their most important commodity. They don't watch a lot of TV. They don't do a lot of entertainment. If they're not working, they're studying their craft and getting better at their craft. Every day when I wake up, I got all kind of demands. You got all kind of demands. And the reason why you're not where you want to be is not because you're not great, but you taking all other people's stuff before you spend enough time with yourself to get to know

you and get to know what you want and what you should do. Don't be average. Like for real, for real. Whatever it is you do, like do it, like do it and take a different perspective. I said, I'm a grind. I'm going to fight. I'm going to work. I'm going to press toward. I'm going to learn. I'm going to do everything in my power. Every single day. I'm going to do everything in my power to become a victor and not a victim. There you stop evaluating yourself. The day you stop growing, the day you stop getting better, is the day you die. Is the day the person who's trying to catch you will get you.

Every opportunity is the last opportunity. Every opportunity I have to reprove myself again. I need you to spend a considerable amount of time dreaming every single day. Let me tell you why. I've noticed that the people who dream and those people who dream big have a different kind of life than the life. people who don't drink. Bring all the energy, all the passion, bring it all together and dominate. But you better stop making excuses and find a way to win. I focus more on winning

than I focus on structure. I focus on winning. What's your why? Why do you wake up in the morning? Why do you put on that jersey? Why do you go out and practice? Why? I got to commit my very being to this thing. I got to breathe it. I got to eat it. I got to sleep it. And until you get there, you'll never be successful in life. When you're a winner winning spreads because winners win because it's not about where you come from It's about hearts you come to a place where you know being smarting enough you got to have hearts Don't go to sleep until you succeed that I got an opportunity to make a dream become a reality I've never gone after you're calling you know the number one excuse is I don't have enough time

I always tell people there's 168 hours in a week If you get eight hours sleep a night, well, there's 50 plus hours gone. You still have 110, 112 hours left. If you work 60 hours a week, you still have 55 hours left to go do what's important to you. So I don't really buy the time excuse, but that's the number one excuse that I hear. It's time to get real. It's time to get wrong. It's time to look ourselves in the mirror and come to the resolve.

that this version of ourself is not going to carry us in the stretch. That I've been this version of myself long enough that if I don't change, if I don't do something about this, then I'm going to find myself bankrupt. It's rewarded in public for what he does in private. Discipline is the single most important thing that you can use when it comes to being successful. motivation is fleeting no one wakes up motivated every single day the key to success that you're looking for the thing that's going to make your dreams come true is simple discipline it's doing what needs to be done even when you don't want to even when you're not motivated your only discipline

once a week you're only determined twice a week you're only you're only enthusiastic about the on Sundays or Wednesdays and once you get once you get a covenant once you make a covenant with who you believe God is called to be and you said you know what I'm going to commit to this you're going to put the blood you're going to put the sweat you're going to put the tears in you're going to lose sleep you're going to go days without eating you're going to do whatever it takes to make the sacrifices necessary to manifest we give up too early and if you just had a little bit perseverance. If we just worked a little bit harder and just took it a day at a time, our dreams will come true. There are too many people in your life who have left you. There are too many people

in your life who have counted you out. There are too many people in your life who have whispered in your ear and said you'll be worse off without them. Prove them wrong. When I start off my day by investing in myself, I set the tone for the rest of my life and everything else. falls into place because I've set a precedent that I'm important, that I'm worth it, that I matter. So I tell people, invest in you first, and then you have the energy, the drive, the passion to just uplift everybody else in your circle. Physical is the easy part. See, the physical part, all you've got to do is show up.

If you could show up, again, be all in, ask some question. Maybe we'll add be willing to suffer a little bit into that mix. You will be okay. The psychological preparation, that's a different story. I always say the mind is primary, and I always say that a strong mind is a catalyst for change. When you see the best athletes in the world either perform really well or, on the other hand, completely bomb out, it's because of that muscle that lives between the ears. We only have so much real estate in our minds and our hearts.

We only have so much bandwidth and our members. mental capacity and the more distractions, the more delusions, the more negativity that we allow to take up real estate in our hearts and in our minds, the less energy we have to fulfill the call, to fulfill destiny, to manifest the idea. Everything that you think about, that you meditate on, everything that has to your attention has to be worth your time. So now it's time to navigate and do an appraisal of every day. everything that's in our life, everything and everybody in our life.

Time to do an appraisal. And ask it and ask them this question, are you worth my time? If you're not, it's time to unplug, time to unplug, time to unplug. Three rules Bobby Maximus lives by. Number one, show up every single day. Number two, when you do show up, you want to be all in. You want to be 100% present. And number three, be curious, ask some questions along the way.

Don't be scared to admit that you don't know everything. And if you can learn a little bit, along with showing up and being all in, the world is yours. If you want to be good at something, if you want to transform your body, you've got to spend 130 quality hours. And the next question I'm always asked is, what does that look like? It's an hour a day of dedicated practice for six straight hours. straight months. If you want something, if you want to be good at something, you want to accomplish something, you've got to put in the time. And the minimum amount of time that

you can put in is an hour a day of dedicated practice for six straight months. If you want to be good at something, you've got to do it every day. Like we look at people like LeBron James. Why is he good at basketball? Because he does it every day. You look at Wayne Grexky in hockey. Why was Wayne so good in hockey, arguably the greatest of all time? Because he did it every day. And so my number one piece of advice to people, if you want to be good at something, whatever that thing that you desire is, whatever your passion is, do it every single day. That's the real secret of success. We celebrate athletes and we celebrate critical thinkers and innovators and actors and we praise them and coined them our heroes and we followed them by the

millions. We love what they do in public, but you don't know the story behind the glory. You don't know the blood, the sweat. You didn't see the tears that they cried, the prayers that they prayed, the countless weeks where they went without sleep to get where they are. When you see somebody that's successful, your gut reaction is to think they're lucky. They had a great trainer. They had it easy. If I was in their shoes, I could do it. it too. And the thing that I would want to say is these people work harder than you can imagine. They show up every day. They do the work. They suffer. So when you see somebody on a screen, rather than criticize, be grateful. Rather than try to cut them down, maybe try to learn a little

bit from them because the amount of dedication that goes into that craft, a normal person will never The secret change is to focus all of our energy, not on fighting the old, but building the new. And specifically behind closed doors when nobody's looking, when no one is there to affirm you, when nobody's there to validate you, when nobody is there to agree with you, you build in the dark. And you announce it when it's finished. Where you just get started. The time is now. time. You have to dive in. You have to go after it. You have to start now. Success comes to those who want it most. It comes to those who are willing to push harder than the rest. And this could be the year. In fact, no, this

will be the year where you become more by what you overcome. You just have to be all in. I need you to be all here. Do you want more? in 2024. Put your mind first. All things are possible. This year, don't settle for good enough. This year, you've got to maximize every moment. It's time to step into it. Because every second of your life counts. This is my year that I give everything I have. Let's go for it. Give all or give nothing. Don't you get it? You owe it to yourself to actually try.

That's why you have to be all in. The challenge that we all face is the challenge of choice. The hardest thing to do is to just get started. Because when we feel the resistance, the easiest thing to do is to make the choice to take the path of least resistance. Are you ready for more in 20? Are you ready to show the world that you've only just got started that the best is yet to come?

But right now, you know what I want you to do? You know what I'm begging you to do? You know what I'm yelling at you to do? I want you to stop looking towards tomorrow next week, next month, next year, and start looking towards where you need to be right now. Let this be the year that you keep every commitment that you make to yourself. If you say you're going to get up at 5 a.m., do it.

If you say you're going to work out, do it. If you say you're going to level up every area of your life, do it. Being all in means your days of playing small are over. If you're really all in, you can't just dip your toe in the water. You have to dive in. You must be willing to submerge yourself in the thing that you say you want. Now what do you do? You got the focus on right now! No excuses, no regrets, no fears, I need you to be all in.

Because see the resilient mindset knows it will fail and fall, but it stays the course because it knows losers, losers give up but champions give all the victory is already yours you just got to claim it you just got to stake it you just got to bring it into life and you cannot bring it into life if you're going halfway be all in a great life it doesn't happen by charms it happens by design and the best way to design that is to just get sotted. You owe it to yourself to become who you dreamed of.

Believe in yourself. Make the changes you need to make because you weren't born to be mediocre. Your gift is the pathway to lead you to next level greatness. Your gift is the pathway to lead you to next level living. Your gift is a pathway to lead you to a next level life. Hour of my future and is a life. As much as life has tried to amputate my spirit, I refuse to go down.

The books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered. Oh, because someone was afraid to take the first step. But that's not you, because you made the choice that 2024, you were going to give more. 2024, you were going to dig deeper. 2024 you were going to be all in 2024 you decided you would not fall in to the same trap that you fell into in the past be all in or be defeated

be all in because your value your worth is needed your value your worth is necessary and it's time for you to leave a mark on this world that's legendary you're going to have to be relentless you're going to have to talk yourself up You're going to have to 10x your efforts so that you can 10x your results. I'm focused on the present. I'm building my future.

I'm pursuing my destiny. Don't tell me what you're going to do. I did it done. Step into your greatness. It's time for you to be all in. It's never too late to start creating the life you always wanted. Don't wait for the perfect time. The perfect time will never come.

There will always be some reason why you can't or shouldn't, but don't let that stop you. Otherwise, you'll be left with nothing more than a handful of excuses and an empty heart. So I'll say it again. You have to start now. You're in control of your own destiny. You can be whoever you want to be. You can accomplish anything you want to accomplish. You just have to be all in.

You can't keep starting and stopping. You can't keep second guessing yourself. You've got to be committed to the process. And most of all, you've got to be committed to yourself. Because self-commitment is one of the most important commitments you can make. Let me tell you again in case you didn't hear me the first time. Be all in. Jump in the deep end and learn to swim.

Jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down. Put the pedal to the metal, all gas, no breaks. Success comes to those who make sacrifices. Those who sacrifice days out with their friends. Who sacrifice TV every night. Who sacrificed the drinking and the partying. Who sacrificed sleep. So they can work harder towards their dreams.

It's not just going to show up at your door. When you don't feel like showing up, that's when you've got to say, you know what? I'm committed to this. This is not the year that I play around with my life. This is not the year that I sit and wait for destiny to hunt me down. I will hunt everything down that belongs to me. Don't you want to feel what it's like to actually live? Feel what it's like to wake up with a smile on your face when you look in the,

here. This is the year where you decide to think greater than you feel. You decide to get better, better than you've ever been before. This is your moment to decide. Will you continue on living the life that you have lived or will you unlock your greatest potential? Be the guy who embraces the ugly, the miserable. Be the guy who embraces hard work, the grind, don't be afraid of being hurt. Don't be afraid of a second price in some blood. It's the moments in life, the decisions you make on a moment-to-moment basis that add up to be the guy or not the guy.

Tonight I did something, you know, that I feel more of a guy for me, who I am, my guy. Make the hard decisions, make the sacrifices, make the unpopular decisions, and become comfortable in your own skin. And if you are not a person that you are comfortable being alone with, that is the one person in this universe that you have full power, full right, full responsibility to change. If you were to create a human, what would you put them through to make them tough?

Which is your life. What would you put them through to make them patient? You probably wouldn't give them things immediately. And so it's like we want these traits, but each of the traits has a price tag attached to it. It's just like, do you want to pay the price tag to get the thing? And so I think if people reframe the period of life that they're going through as the price that they're paying out of their wallet,

but the wallet is their time, as the seconds of life that they're trading for it, then I think more people will be willing to make the trade. Because at least when I look at myself, like when I'm 80-something years old, I'm looking back in my life, I want to have these traits. But in order to have those traits, I know I have to go through these things. And I think for me that's giving me a lot of...

Right now in life, your family is looking for that. that one guy right now. They're looking for that one guy who's strong, who's that pillar for the family in hard times. Make sure they look around, they look around and find you. These are the times right now for you to step up. Be that guy that can take anything. Stay hard. The biggest regret of the dying is never becoming your ideal self. I do believe that we're thrust in a world that we don't fit in. And I believe the journey is that a lot of people sell your bill of goods along their way.

That if you get some awards, you mean something. You go to a certain school, you're cute, classical beauty, you got the right man, you got the right zip code, and you swim through all that filthy swill until you come to the really, really stark conclusion that I want to leave this earth becoming who I know deep within

I am supposed to be the next time you want to just give in to that desire for comfort remember that your future self is going to be the one to suffer the consequences so easy to just put it off and act like it doesn't exist but that future self that you're passing all these burdens to will one day be yourself of the present and you'll wish you to

to do otherwise. Everything that you do, the biggest mistake that people make is they think that only what they want to count counts. You read a book, when you listen to an audio program, when you go to a course, when you go to bed early and get up early and you work, it all counts. Never fucking apologize for being yourself. If people don't like how you act, how you look, how you speak, that just means those aren't your people. Don't change who you are to match your surroundings. Pick better for your surroundings and be yourself. I don't know. Most men would understand that when a man cries and he's whimpering, he's hurting, you know, because I've been there. And there's no shame in crying, gentlemen. Men, it's okay to cry.

We can still be a man, but you're also human. And it does show a little bit of your vulnerability. Do it for your loved ones. Do it for your wife. Do it for your husband. Do it for your children. Do it for generations to come. Come on, after you're dead and gone, what will they say about what you did? Yes, there's so many people depending on you, but it's got to start with you and the man upstairs. If you want to be great, oh man, prepare to get up off that mat. You're going to get knocked down over and over and over. And even when you feel like, no, nobody, I can't be hit this hard.

or if you're down there thinking, there's no way I can get up from this. That's when you're just starting. For some strange reason, this world wants to see you water down the reality of who you are. Our society wants to see you think like everyone else and feel just like those around you. Maybe for somebody who's so distracted from their true desires as a person

that doesn't sound so bad, but the pain of seeing through limitation and full absence of distractions is almost unbearable. You see, it hurts because the resistance wants you to give in and mold to what's expected of you. And if I can provide some advice, don't. I don't know where you are in your game of life. You may be in your third quarter. You may be in your fourth quarter. Come on, you're not going to live forever, not in this world. Come on. You may be in your first quarter, your, your second half, and this time it's got to be personal. See, last time you were just running through the plays, last time you were just running the songs that you rehearsed in rehearsal. Last time, you were just going through the motions, and you got numb. Come on, and you got tired and weary,

and now you're broken and bitter and angry because you lost. And I'm just wondering if you're courageous enough, bold enough, if you have enough faith, come on, if you have enough inside of you, resilience, said, come back to the scene. His life is relentless. You better keep coming back from all your failures, all your doubts, all your shit. You better keep fighting, keep getting up. Never fucking lay down for shit. That's one thing we should all agree on.

If you've been broken once, you know how that shit feels. That means fucking try and break me again. You got a lot of people playing their hard-on-on-money to come watch you perform. Perform. It's your job to be in shape. It's your job to be strong enough to perform at that level every single night. And as a competitor, I'm not ducking. Like it's not, oh my God, my back hurts, I'm sore, we gotta play Vince Carter and Toronto Raptors tonight.

Pick your mountain, whatever that mountain is, and each journey of the mountain is a million steps. million steps and each day you have to take that step yeah each day you take that step you look up at the mountain you say that's where i want to go and then each next day you take your step over and over and over again everything was done to try to learn how to become a better basketball player everything everything and so when you have that point of view then literally the world becomes your library to help you to become better at your craft let yourself go fall free into it step into it you are worthy you are an unrepeatable miracle and there is none like you in all the earth there will never be another you your dma your fingerprint come on your gait your

presence your authenticity come on your special you're special and you're necessary all humans are stardust all humans share a chemistry with all biology with all other life on earth Why not look around and say, I'm not special because I'm a different. I'm special because I'm the same as you, as others, as the tree, as the brook, as the animals, you know, the woodland creatures. And we can all sit here and look up at the night sky and say, yes, we have kinship with the cosmos. I feel large because of that, not small.

I think we're involved in a species to say, no, there is a right and wrong. a better path and a not so good path. There is a transcendent self at least to chase. A better self, a projection. I think it's fair to project and believe in a delayed gratification that, no, I want my life to have some escalation. I know it's going to have its downs and ups, but I want to have at the end at least to have a small ramp or what the hell are we doing here, or what is evolution? You know, so at least to chase after that. I think like in life, you can get whatever you want, but you can't want whatever you want. If you don't want it, there's no creating that.

If you really wanted it, you wouldn't need this, like, inspirational podcast to make you make that decision. You'd already be fucking doing it. That's not it to be defeatist. It just means that, like, the only goal that anyone should have in life is one of happiness and fulfillment. And, like, this idea that you have to win to be happy could not be further from the truth. Why do we hear about rock stars and famous actors and these people that we see as sort of like the

absolute apex of success in the industry? Where are they all fucking killing themselves and dying of alcoholism and like all that darkness happening at the highest level? It's like because that doesn't equal happiness. It's like what is happiness for you? Your mind, your motions, your body. You have 100% control over what you do with these things. And that's where the game is won. You win the inner game, then you win the outer game.

But a lot of people spent their life trying to win the other game, they won and they're miserable. You look at your life as you look into the future and say, what fears am I holding on to? What fears that I'm allowing to imprison me that's keeping me from breaking out? That's keeping me from living up to my true potential. That's keeping me from really being happy. That's keeping me from having a sense of adventure and excitement in my life. What's what's keeping me from controlling my destiny? What fears?

And I'm giving that permission to it. Notice what I said. We must give our permission to fear to immobilize us. Because whatever discomfort you experience, whatever challenges, a difficulty that it is, you've got to handle it. Got to go up in there and wrestle with me. be easy? No. Will it be challenging? Yes. See myself. Confronting my fears.

Handling my fears. I'm more than able. If you're struggling, if you're frustrated with yourself, if you're at that point where you're so sick of yourself and your excuses, I've been there, Stephen's been there. This is a normal of the human experience. And at some point, either the pain is going to get big enough, or you're going to bump into somebody's story somewhere on this planet, who has been in the position that you're in right now, facing the stuff that you're facing right now,

and there is something about their story at this exact moment in time that will ignite something in you that is missing, and what is missing in you right now is hope. Because when you're stuck, stuck and when you are on a downworld spiral, whether it's just in your own head or it's in self-destructive behavior, the thing that's missing in your life is hope. You don't believe right now that anything is going to make a difference. What if this is the time sobriety sticks? What if I go to therapy and I actually do change the way that I think? What if I could recover from this narcissistic

abuse that I've, you know, been kind of struggling with after that relationship or that marriage. What if I could get out of debt? If that person did it, maybe I could do it. And without either hope or that kind of rock bottom moment, I don't think you're going to change it. Scratch is what makes you better. Scratch friction. Obstacles create growth. There's no friction when you're this far up in the game anymore. You think there is. That's right. When you cheat so much the friction is minor. Because why? I'm sore.

I'm going to get a massage today. I'm hungry. I'm going to eat today. The refrigerator is always full. So your comforts are now, so your discomfort is now very minuscule to your discomfort back here in the $7 month place. So you have

to go back to the total discomfort to then raise your level of where you're at now. I'm not saying stay there and stay there visit visit it and then you raise your level you you begin to realize that your dream and your gifts have so much meaning and so much value for you till your hunger for them will begin to push you past the field your hunger to have them will give you a special drive as you work on yourself as to acknowledge your true identity, the true power that you have, the true capacity you have to

bring about change, the miracle working power that you have within yourself to do the things that you want to do. And once we've learned to make choices that will measurably pay us back, give us more residuals for longer term, for longer time and life, we start to fall in the future. to that wise place of being able to navigate the art of living where life becomes a little bit more of a dance. You're sitting on the edge of the bed trying to have an honest dialogue with yourself. And the little voice says, you know, it's pretty disgusting in here. And you think, well, I'm way above such trivial niceties as organizing my room.

It's like, well, that's pride. That's arrogance. If you're above organizing what's actually yours, how in the world are you ever going to organize anything else? And so you get on your knees and you think, well, it's time to, you know, take a brush to the toilet. And maybe that's where you start. And that works. Like that works.

You start making those micro improvements, like real micro improvements, real on the ground actual micro improvements to things you know that are wrong. you'll improve unbelievably rapidly. If you don't have hope and you don't have this breakthrough where you have for just a millisecond, this insight where you go, well, what if things did work out? If you don't have that moment, most people stay so stuck in resignation, there are so many people that are not aware of, of how much better and how much more present

and how much more joy they could experience in their life. See, when you are not filling your life with the things that you are capable of doing, see, we all have some stuff that we've been given. And I don't think that it's optional for us to sit on what we have. See, if you're sitting on what you have, what you've been given,

and I think everybody's been given something to bring to the planet that only you can do that. Only you can perform that. Only you can initiate that activity. And if you don't do that, if you're not filling in your life with your life work or your mission, then there are gaps in your life. And what we do when we're not living out our true identity, we begin to fill the gaps. We fill the holes with garbage. Success is getting what you want. Fulfillment is living what you're made for. This is droolns we're talking about. We're talking about dreams. Can you train your brain to appreciate?

Because in the middle of whatever you're pissed off about or frustrated or fearful about or worried about, you're deleting all the things you can be grateful for, you can appreciate that are absolutely real. Be your own motivator, and you build yourself up. And that's the problem with the mind. I want your listeners or viewers to really think about this. You do not experience life.

You experience the life you focus on. That's it. There is a gap between who you are and where you want to be. Your story is not your fortress. Your story is your fuel. Tell me I'm not good enough. Tell me I'm not strong enough. Tell me I won't finish.

There is this intrinsic emotion, this instinct. You have just awakened the lion in me. I don't care what it is that you're trying to achieve what you're trying to accomplish. what you're trying to give, how you're trying to evolve, what you are looking to become, everything rises and falls on your perspective. Somebody who has lost everything, who people stop believing in it, is a very desperate person. They're climbing a heel. They try to achieve a dream.

And when you are desperate, you are very dangerous. And a dangerous man or woman is somebody who is a disruptor. They don't play by the rules. They are coming for blood. Sometimes you gotta take a break from just about everything, disappear, come back, and shock the world! I have worked while you have slept. I have learned while you have parted. I have saved while you have spent.

And I will live like you dream. I have what it takes to get to the top of that hill. Scambles, the dog walks, the dog runs out. whatever it wants when a dog is hungry move out of his life and it's coming from blood you're taking to become and to live and to live the life

to make the dream a reality you want to be committed you want to be consistent you want to be creative you want to be purposeful you want to be reflective and you want to be grateful These are just a few things that you want to be as you are moving forward in your self-awareness.

That mindset is going to get you bankrupt. I should start this. I should stop that. I should forgive. I should. You don't get what you should. You get what you must have. If you are going to give and grow and evolve and attain and become everything you

rises and falls on your viewpoint. You got a dream of a better relationship. You got a dream to get your family out of the hood. You got a dream to lose weight. I mean, whatever that dream is, whatever you have, that goal, that improbable feet. Once you get it set, once you smell that, once you get a feel for it, taste of it. What is required to manifest it into reality? If you can see it in your head, you can hold it in your hand.

Stop telling everybody what you're going to do. going to do. Stop telling everybody what your next move is and just disappear and do the work that is required. The burning building. You have unfinished business. You have unfinished business. You got what to do. Disappear. You can shock and hide yourself in the... Talking to that person that is acquainted with pain. I'm talking to that person that knows what is like to come from nothing. And so you literally have nothing to lose. And the only thing that's in your hand is a dream. Navigate through life and we keep missing the bridges to bridge the gap between dream and reality.

So do you know what is required of you? Are you aware of what is required of you to make happen what you see only in your head? Almost every man waste part of his life and attempts to display qualities which he does not possess. I want you to ask yourself the question, are you the person that is projecting a different you to the world on social media, on your websites, in your meetings? Are you projecting a different you? Are you the same person in private? And I know that there are multiple versions of yourself or even I have multiple versions of me, but are they consistent? You could just shut out every distraction.

What if you could just shut out the world for just a season and focus on you? is rewarded in public for what he does in private. Can you unplug just a moment and focus on you? Focus on what matters. Everything that you think about, that you meditate on, everything that has to your attention has to be worth your time. So now it's time to navigate and do an appraisal of everything that's in our life, everything and everybody in our life.

Time to do an appraisal and ask them this question, are you worth my time? Are you aware of your why? Why are you here? What are you doing? Who are you connected to? What are your people, your places, and your purpose? Why are you here? What is your destiny?

You will never fulfill your destiny doing work you despise. So whatever it is that you're going after, whatever it is you feel as that you've been destined to do, are you willing to push whoever, whatever, out of your way to get your piece of the pot? I am determined to win, no matter what season I'm in, when you counted me out, when you rejected me, when you overlooked me, when you ignored me, I waited painfully in obscurity for the opportunity to take the throne. Show up with a new game plan and a new perspective. You got to finish business. The idea of me says I'm not enough.

Your reality of me says I can't do this. Your reality of me says you won't finish today. My reality says all I have is all I need. I'm not living in my setback any longer. I'm moving forward.
