Starting point is 00:00:39 We all have two people. We all have two people. And I'm not saying you're crazy. We have the easy voice. That's that voice that we all love. That's that very comfortable voice. That's that mommy holding you saying, it's going to be okay. Doesn't care how good you are, just loves you.

Starting point is 00:01:10 Just loves you no matter how messed up you are in life. So that's that one voice. This other voice that we walk very far away from is the voice saying, hey man, you ain't doing shit. So we tried to get this voice out of our head completely. And we live over here in this lane. So what you have to do first is turn up this voice over here. The voice saying things to you that aren't nice.

Starting point is 00:01:37 That it's in our head saying, you know what, man? Dude, you're not doing shit. I'm not saying to put yourself down. I'm saying listen to the truth. And the truth isn't in the 20%. The truth is in this other part of your brain saying, look, man, you're wasting a bunch of percentage here. We have 80 more percent that we're not tapping into

Starting point is 00:02:01 because in this other 80% is suffering, pain, failure, failure, Failure, self-doubt, darkness. And then a whole bunch of light. But to get to this light, you gotta go through all of this. So, a lot of us know that. I can get over here, but over here, man, this is much better. Because I gotta go through this journey that is not fun. This from 20 to 100% this shit in between is not fun.

Starting point is 00:02:37 So we decided to live over here. here. So everybody goes, how do we do that? You know exactly how to do that. You know exactly. It's not a magic trick. There's nothing to talk about. That's a magic trick. It's all back down to a very primitive mindset of we just have to do it. It's like breathing. Breathing becomes normal. Like we don't know that we're doing. That's how you have to live your life. We now. We now, alarm clock goes off at four or five in the morning, your mind says, no, you just say, it's just what we do. It's what we do now.

Starting point is 00:03:23 Because to get to where you want to go, the amount of pain involved, I'm not saying physical, I'm not saying you've got to break yourself off, the amount of mental pain of how many times you're going to have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go. When I was 297 pounds, and I was fat as hell trying to do. to be a Navy SEAL, the scariest thing in the world to me, even to this day, was that that could have been the rest of my life. I thought then I was trying hard. That's the scariest thing in the world. I thought then, 297 pound working for EcoLab, spraying for cockroaches, making $1,000 a month, I thought that was me at my 100% potential. Come to find out, a few years later,

Starting point is 00:04:15 I wasn't even near that. 106 pounds less, graduate Navy still training, went on to do all these other things. Looking back on that, that was me trying hard. That's why people got to understand. What is in us, we have no idea until we start trying hard. And I mean really trying hard. When you're obsessed with, hey, this is my new norm.

Starting point is 00:04:39 My new norm is that, wow, this isn't always fun. It's not always meant to be fun. And that's when you know you're trying hard. Is that, and so people listen to us that maybe you're at 20% or 30% You know about yeah, I'm going hard. I'm going max. And yet they're not seeing the results like how do they actually shake themselves out of that We're all in a battle with our own brains. All of us.

Starting point is 00:05:03 That's all life is. It's the most proper thing in the world is your own brain You can work for you or against you And as opposed to focusing on all those bad things that happened, all the things you didn't have The people they called you names all the stuff we're doing again and you start thinking, wait a second, I just visualize this, and now I can take it to the next level, next level. Because the visualization got you through.

Starting point is 00:05:24 It did, and I was able to visualize the end. So before, so when I was 297, and I was all fat and out of shape, and I couldn't run a quarter mile, and I was drinking milkshakes and eating boxes of donuts, I visualized, man, how would it feel? For a brief moment, I was, so there was 22 guys, that graduated. I watched this segment on TV about these guys going to Navy SEAL training.

Starting point is 00:05:53 And I couldn't even, I wasn't a great swimmer, I was afraid of the water, all this crap, man. But at the very end it says 22 guys, there's command officers up there and it gives this great speech. I was like, man, I wonder. So I started visualizing me being the 23rd guy in these dress whites, sitting there with these guys getting that Navy SEAL, you know, graduating this Navy SEAL training. God. So I put myself there. I was like, man, that's an amazing feeling. I put myself there at 297, not even able to do anything that these great men were doing. I said, man, if I could feel that, that would change in a lot. It lasts for one second. You get that certificate, you walk across the stage, and what's next? But I didn't know that then. My mind was that I thought I lived

Starting point is 00:06:47 in that moment forever. So I said, wow, man. If I could do that. just feel like that. I can feel like that. And what was that feeling you wanted so bad? No. Victory. I wanted to win. Not like beat somebody else. It wasn't about that. I just wanted to go to distance. Everything in my life when something got hard, I quit. If it was reading, that's what you know, I wasn't great at reading. I wasn't great at writing. So I just quit. I couldn't catch on as fast as you. I had to work harder than you. So I quit. You know, I wasn't great at things so I quit. You know, I'm not good at this. Like man, if I could just go that distance, that extra mile, to just go, just to finish. I want to finish. I want to feel

Starting point is 00:07:34 victory. And victory for me wasn't winning. It was just finishing. So I said, you know what? If I could feel like these guys feel, it would change my life. But what I realized, The best feeling I had was when I was by myself trying to lose this weight. I had to lose it in literally less than three months. 106 pounds less than three months. And literally, I started feeling victory just by putting myself in the battle. It wasn't about going to Navy Civil training. It wasn't about being the 23rd guy in that chair.

Starting point is 00:08:13 I started realizing, man, just by going to war with myself every day and putting these challenges and these goals and these obstacles, these insurmountable obstacles. So what about losing 106 pounds? Me losing 5 pounds was an accomplishment. Me losing 10 pounds. And then 50 pounds. The more I did, the more I gain confidence.

Starting point is 00:08:37 And then the more I gained confidence, the more I realized, these guys can't do what I'm doing right now. I had no coach, had no trainer, had no money. I didn't know how to lose weight. I had no knowledge of what I was doing. I was just working. I was just sacrificing. And then through that, all these different tools started coming up.

Starting point is 00:08:58 But I would have never found these tools if I didn't put myself in a very uncomfortable place. We all look for toughness. We all want it. But we look for it in a comfortable environment. You will not find toughness in a comfortable environment. Those of you who are listening to this, whoever hear this, you will not find it.
