Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello listeners. Motivosity is excited to share that we have launched a new podcast called Morning Motivation by Motivore. If you are looking to start your day with positivity and the most uplifting motivational audio, this is the show for you. For today's episode of Motivation Daily by Motivority Podcast, we are sharing a recent episode from the Morning Motivation Podcast. If you like it, go follow the show. New episodes are being released every week.
Starting point is 00:00:36 The link is in the description. What the relentless system does, it's a mindset. Before you have an exceptional skill set, okay, you have to have the right mindset. The fighter jet mentality is that someone who is just determined, relentlessly obsessed, in achieving an outcome in the face of all adversity. I've always had this relentless mentality. And if you say I can't do something, if I fail, if I, you know, mess up, it just motivates me even more. I just become even more hungry.
Starting point is 00:01:14 You've got to start with that belief in your mind. I've got this. I can do this. I can conquer this. The relentless are unstoppable. I didn't want to have to say, I wish I would have done more. You gotta put yourself in that cage. I switch my mind to something else.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Switch my mode into something else. It's go time. But the difference between me and most people is you might be sweeter than me. You might be bigger than me. You might grind. Listen to me, I don't know. You might have money.
Starting point is 00:01:53 I don't know where you come from, but you will not. I won't you. When I'm in that cage, bro, don't touch me. Don't talk to me. Fall in. Emotionally and executionally. In theory and strategy.
Starting point is 00:02:04 and an execution. If you want something, you have got to be relentless. When you're sitting there, you're trying to sell your product, you're making phone calls, you're giving a lecture, whatever it may be. You're driving a bus. You're a doctor. Whatever it may be, the stronger your mindset is, the greater your skill set is going to be. Make a declaration to yourself.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Declare all-out war. It doesn't matter about what happens to you. What matters is what are you going to do about it? They start their school on Monday morning watching me. They ain't got a daddy. They're daddy in jail. They don't have a brother. Their brother's in jail.
Starting point is 00:02:45 They all I got. You don't understand. My son's at Michigan State and I pay for a cat. My daughter wants to go to Harvard. You don't get it. My sister just had a baby and she ain't making no money. Egg game. All I got is an eight game.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I ain't got a beat game. I ain't got a sneak game. When I finish, people are relying on me. Some of y'all, when you get on the field, you forgot what it was like when you was hustling and I'm not. When you was hustling in high school playing ball, when you were in college, hustling to get to this point. If you want something, you've got to be religious.
Starting point is 00:03:14 You've got to decide, I deserve this, and I'm going to have it. And you go all out to get it. Whether you make it to the league or not, you are not who you are because of the league. You are who you are because of who you are. And if you make it to the league, then the league is going to be blessed with your presence. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Through all the bumps in the road and the stormy weather, the heart of a champion you can never measure.
Starting point is 00:03:54 I don't think greatness is something you're born with, some mysterious power bestowed upon us by God. It's something that truly exists in everyone. I look at it as a superpower we all have buried deep inside us. This tiny diamond surrounded by layers and layers of rock, the hardest rock in the universe. And every time you do something good, a piece of that rock breaks away. breaks away. I see dudes 610, I'm like, you wasting it. You bragging about you 6, 8, you're wasting the height. I'm about 510 with my shoes off. I'm comfortable. I'm comfortable. Married 510. Been married 30 years, 510. Two beautiful kids, 510. I don't need to be 6' 6, that's your life.
Starting point is 00:04:37 See, they don't understand you wanted success and you wanted it so bad. You fell madly in love with the process, and therefore you gladly pushed past the limits of average. If that was a man, you'd understand that opportunity in your sight. You grabbed it. Be comfortable on who you are. Be comfortable if y'all poor. If you come from a family right now that's broke, you use that to your advantage. I use that to my advantage that I was a high school dropout, that I was homeless, that I ate out trash game. I love dealing with a dude who think because he comes from money, he better to me. Let's go. But so many of you out there have the heart of a lion. But you keep lying to yourself. You keep denying yourself.
Starting point is 00:05:16 You keep depriving yourself. You keep hiding yourself from the gifts that you have to share with the world. From this day forward, set out to achieve greatness, not by looking for someone to give it to you. No, no, no, but by going to work to set your own inner greatness free. Let's go. You got money, but do you got that dog? Yeah, you got money, you got print, but do you got that dog? You are the example now. You are the man to reshape the culture of your world. Do you got that stamina? So yeah, you might have something I don't have right now. But if I work hard, I can have what you have. So just when I think you're about to give up, you remember all the refs in the gym. The days you have worked all of them. And that's what gives you the strength of power through the fatigue and rise above the rim.
Starting point is 00:06:04 You're the mighty man of valor that wants to change the next generation. They might have more talent, but they fold under pressure because they were only out for the pleasure, the gold, and the treasure. And thus, they crumbled a better or even lesser competition. So today all of the excuses stop. This is where your heart of a champion starts. It's time. It's time to phase some adversity.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Look around you. You are here now in the present time of greatness. I stand here and look into your eyes and I see, I feel the spirit of a warrior. I feel the spirit of a gladiator. You have not come this fall to come to come to you. fall to come this fall. You have not sacrificed the hours, days, weeks, months to taste the feet. I have to war your spirit in your soul. You have the warrior mindset. And you owe it to your brother. Stayed right next to you. I want you to lock arms, lock hands for the next four quarters of your life.
Starting point is 00:07:34 It's going to be hard. You're better make mistakes. But you're also going to get the opportunity to write those wrongs and bounce back. from those mistakes. When you fall, get back up. Rise. And that's why this is the greatest game on earth. You get the chance to step into that coliseum, that stadium.
Starting point is 00:08:00 You get the privilege, the honor to compete for your team. Your brothers, your brothers at your holy hands with today, your brothers of the past, and more importantly, your brothers of the future. You get the ability to showcase your talents
Starting point is 00:08:17 ability. You owe it to your coaches. You owe it to your teammates. You owe it to yourself. Have to be the most talented person on the field. But I promise you, if you give maximum effort, you will make more plays more consistently than anybody. No matter what your talent level is. You have the heart of a lion. You have to be willing to sacrifice everything at any given moment of this game. I promise you that everything is not going to go the way you wanted to do on every single play. It's not supposed to. It's supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be difficult.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Anything that comes fast and easy leaves you the same way. What are you going to do with time is tough? What are you willing to sacrifice for greatness? This game you're about the plundice field. Step on, hold the keys to change your life. Whoever, your mom's life, your dad's life, your sisters, brothers, keep everyone's life. If you're willing to make the sacrifice to be great.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Be great. It's simple, but not easy. The blueprint is laid out before you. Do your job. Do your job. When it's time to make a play, make it. In four quarters, we're going to see what you're made of. If your heart comes cool, or if you're in the ice cold, water you bathe.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Let's go, champ. Rise up. Winters don't make these cases. We execute, and it's time to step on that field and execute. Put your brothers in your eyes. Look at it. You don't have to see a word. Just look into your eyes and see that fire burn.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Give you a brother that look so he can see it to your son. So they know you got your back, they got your back, it's on your back. Shut the helmet up. They're never to buy. Because you don't know what plane's going to be that one that's going to win the game. Let's take this thing and give them everything we've got. Tonight we walk out that arena, beat up, bloody, tired, exhausted. But when we walk out, we walk off as champions.
Starting point is 00:11:13 For those that want to go to the next level in life, I'm going to lay out three things for you today. and if you align every thought, every word you speak, and every action you take with these three, then greatness will be yours. Number one, the foundation of greatness must be built on fire. Now when I say fire, I'm referring to passion. Success is just a child, the offspring produced from a person who has married doing the thing they love. If you want greatness, then you gotta pick your profession like you want a soulmate.
Starting point is 00:11:53 You gotta marry the one that makes you feel the most alive. Pursuing your passion is the cure for amnesia. It will awaken your spirit and reveal to you your true identity. See, most people are walking around in this nine to five job coma with spiritual amnesia. They have forgotten who they are. Pursuing the flame, the fire, the passion of doing what you love. is the alarm clock for your spirit. It will awaken you back to your true identity
Starting point is 00:12:23 who God made you to be. Some seek a job. Some seek a product to sell. But the greats, the legends, the people that go to that next level in light, they seek themselves. Close your eyes and look inside and follow the flames that flicker
Starting point is 00:12:39 until you find your way back home. The fire created when doing your passion is a gift from God. Why there's so much power in it? Stop making your decisions based on money and make a decision based on fire. Set yourself on fire and the world will come see you burn. It's so rare today to see a person doing what he loves.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Most people are not both to step into that fire, to that ring and just believe. We are living in a spiritual ice age. Strike a match and set yourself on fire on the inside. Ignite that greatness and the whole world will be. Gather around you for warmth. Ferdinand Fush said the most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. Now I ask you, what are you most passionate about?
Starting point is 00:13:32 What sets you on fire on the inside? Romance was not just designed for our spouse. Get alone with yourself. Explore intimacy with the things that you love. Connect to yourself and what God has. place in you. Success requires focus, energy, intensity, zeal, enthusiasm, love, fire, grismer, heat, passion, intensity, dedication, dive into your passion. The world will begin to make sense. Positive thinking is powerful, but you cannot think your way to greatness. You have to burn yourself there.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Now, the second element that you need to filter your life through if you want to achieve greatness is truth. Now, John 424 says, God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. Truth is the couture for greatness. If you want to go to that next level, you got to get up every day and drape yourself down in it. Truth can only be understood fully from the center of one's colon. See, the fire produced from doing your passion brings clarity. Just as the choir sings, may your life harmonize with nothing but truth. Authenticity, originality is to down the truth.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Everybody gets this wrong. I talk to millions of people across 50 countries. It's life's big myth that you can get fit before committing to something challenging. Let me explain. We call it the Spartan paradox. You must first. commit to something. And that forces you
Starting point is 00:15:55 to do the work. With Spartan, we got 7 million people off the couch by having them put a date on the calendar. It's that simple. Once you put a date on the calendar, you get serious.
Starting point is 00:16:17 You become discipline. And if you don't, you get your ass kicked. Because that date comes, that event arrived, with or without you. Then what? Then you're embarrassed,
Starting point is 00:16:34 humiliated, and you want another crack at it. Everyone everywhere, I mean across 45 countries, says to me, oh, first I'm going to get in shape. First I'm going to start eating healthy. First I'm going to get my lifestyle intact.
Starting point is 00:16:51 No way. All the science, all the data, all of our millions of conversations across all these countries says, bullshit, you're just going to procrastinate. You're not going to do it. You end up talking yourself out of doing the work. New Year's resolutions don't work.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Gym memberships don't work. Diets don't work. The only thing that works is a date with something challenging on your calendar. So you want to find success? Put a date on the calendar, create a deadline, force yourself to make the hard choices daily. Look, if humans didn't need deadline, schools wouldn't need professors. Construction sites wouldn't need foremen.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Teams wouldn't need coaches. Think about it. You want to change. If you're ready, get a date on your calendar. You have to commit. You have to make it real. It's a Spartan paradox. I think I could end it just like that.
Starting point is 00:18:00 It's this warring paradox. That's it. When that 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. Because to get to where you want to go, the amount of pain involved,
Starting point is 00:18:21 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 get to where you want to get, go. When I was 297 pounds and I was fat as hell trying 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
Starting point is 00:18:47 then I was trying hard. That's the scariest thing in the world. I thought then 297 pound working for eco-labs, 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, I wasn't even were near that. 106 pounds less, graduate Navy still training, we 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. My new norm is that, wow, this isn't always fun.
Starting point is 00:19:37 It's not always meant to be fun. And that's when you know you're trying hard. And so people listen to us that maybe you're at 20% or 30% 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? How do that... We're all in a battle with our own brains.
Starting point is 00:19:55 That's all life is. It's the most proper thing in the world. It's your own brain. It could 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 that called you names, all the stuff you were doing again, and you started thinking, wait a second, I just visualize this,
Starting point is 00:20:11 and now I can take it to the next level, next level, because the visualization got you through the seal thing. It did, and I was able to visualize the end. So before, so when I was 2.97, 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 were 22 guys that graduated. I watched this segment on TV about these guys going to Navy
Starting point is 00:20:45 Siltern. 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. I was like, God. So I put myself there. I was like, man, that's an amazing feeling.
Starting point is 00:21:18 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 the lot. I could just feel that one. 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 then, I thought I lived in that moment forever.
Starting point is 00:21:42 So I said, wow, man, if I could just feel like that. I could 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.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I just wanted to go the distance. Everything in my life and 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.
Starting point is 00:22:18 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 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.
Starting point is 00:22:46 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 Sill training. It wasn't about being the 23rd guy in that chair. 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 it went about losing 106 pounds.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Me losing 5 pounds was an accomplishment. Me losing 10 pounds, and then 50 pounds, and the more I did it was a accomplishment. gain confidence. 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. But I would have never found these tools if I didn't put myself in a very uncomfortable place.
Starting point is 00:23:59 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. When you find yourself stuck, frozen, tired, broken, you can't take another step. You got to think back to everybody before you. I think about World War I, World War II, the Great Depression, Vietnam, people I know that are missing arms, legs. I know folks that had to cut their own fingers off, we see movies where someone had to cut his arm off to get to safety.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Like, you need some reference point that is just much, much worse than where you are. And then it puts it in perspective, and you take another five steps. and another five steps after that, right? Because when you're having that pity party in your head and you can't move forward, there's 5 million people that have it worse than you. There's 50 million people that have it worse than you. So stop complaining, take a few steps forward,
Starting point is 00:25:26 and remember, you have eight days left in you. So I'm in Alaska, it's 30 below, my eyelashes are frozen and I'm just in a dark place I'm in a place where I just want water food and shelter I want to go home I can't believe I put myself out here and I start playing the tape in my head of how great it would feel if I could just get back home but there's not an option there's no option in the middle of nowhere I've got a hundred miles behind me through waste deep snow I got a hundred miles ahead I'm heading through waste deep snow.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I have no option. It's either die right here or continue on. And I'll tell you what, dying feels pretty good right about now. I mean, it sounds ridiculous as you listen to this. But if I go back to that moment, if I go back to any moment where you're broken, mentally, physically, you can't take another step, you're in pain, you're frozen. I'm frozen. Literally, I'm frozen. You gotta somehow find something to motivate the next step and the step after that.
Starting point is 00:26:53 And if I could just make it, if I could just make it to that snow drift over there, and then I'll figure out what to do after that. Even when you think you can't take another step, even when your mouth is dry because you haven't had water, you're eating snow, you're starving, you're burning 40s, You're burning 14,000 calories a day. You can't take another step. You have eight more days in you.
Starting point is 00:27:21 And somehow, I mustered up enough strength to go 100 yards ahead. And 100 yards after that, and another 100 yards. And eight days later, I got to the finish line. We definitely all stop before we have to. We stop because we think we have to. We don't stop because we have to. The end of the year is here, and you made it this far. There were good times and there were bad times.
Starting point is 00:28:15 But yet, you are still here. You made it this far because something kept you going. Nothing kept you believing. Something helped you to understand that the fight was not over yet. This is the year that is soon to come to a close and there will be a new year and greater opportunities
Starting point is 00:28:51 will be waiting for you let's talk a little bit about what you've been through this year you had to experience some things that you did not understand you had to experience some greatness you had to experience some weaknesses
Starting point is 00:29:12 you had to experience things that no one could understand but you are the one that has to be responsible to go through it You were put on your back and you probably thought that you didn't have the ability to come back. But you did. Sometimes you may hear people saying that they're getting old.
Starting point is 00:29:34 You're never getting old. You're just getting blessed. If you put your right hand on your heart right now, you can feel that blood pumping. You can feel that purpose. You can feel that reason. You don't have time to be complaining anymore. Regardless of circumstances, regardless of heartaches and pains, regardless of the joys, regardless of the sorrows, you made it.
Starting point is 00:30:07 You made it because there was purpose there. Purpose doesn't lie. It always, always tells the truth. You just got to understand that this is the time. And as this year comes to a close, and you have to recognize that there's a very, you have to recognize that there's going to be a new year for you, a new year that is waiting for you. Now, there are no guarantees that tomorrow will be there.
Starting point is 00:30:42 So make that mark and make that mark right now. The past behind you. Be strong people. Be strong within yourself. Regardless of what you're feeling at this moment right now, regardless of what people may say about you, be strong. Because you are a unique,
Starting point is 00:31:12 creation and you made it this far because something was meant for you we had to experience great losses we had to witness great victories this is the beauty of living this is the beauty of understanding this is the beauty of knowing that you matter and the reason that you matter is because you are still here among the living. Now you have to set the new stage. Now you have to set the new mark and be greater than you was yesterday. Realize that you are walking above ground for a reason. They have had its ups and downs, but you did not stay down. You knew what you had to do to get up. So you got up. And if you're able to live, if you're able to push, if you're able to grow, you're going to grow into a better you.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Let this be the opportunity of a lifetime. Don't forget, Easy was not attended for you or I. For without struggle, how can you build true character? So maybe you were in the position that you felt like you were broken. But being broken doesn't mean that you can't put it all together again. You must be the architect of your life. Create your own blueprint.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Set yourself up and regardless if you fail or if you succeed, but don't give up. Because if you made it this far, you can definitely go a little bit further. Make your year that you remember your accomplishments as well as your failures. But don't you ever, ever. Give up on you. Right now, I'm in pain. That's the same, right? No pain, no gain, right?
Starting point is 00:34:19 Man, I'm at war with failure every day just to obtain a little success. And you can't tell me that ain't pain. It hurt. Seeing your mama sit on the edge in that bed and cry almost every night. You can't tell me that ain't pain. It's not easy losing somebody that's close and dear to you.
Starting point is 00:34:50 It's not easy jumping off the cliff and knowing that nobody will be able to catch you if you fall. It's not easy if you get knocked down eight times and you're scared to get back up on the knife. If it's one thing I know, it's to be humble. Because there's always areas in your life. your life that's going to need improvement and you're going to need to do better. Humble yourself, young one. Don't settle. Do more. You must look. Opposition in his face. You must face fear. You must face anxiety. You must face the day because if you do not face the day, then the things that you are supposed to face, you start to become.
Starting point is 00:35:42 That's why I don't ask God to make things easier. I ask him to equip me with the tools to overcome any obstacles, any barriers, in any way to ease the pain. Stand up. Put your chin up. What you're going to do? Every night, you should sit on the edge of that bed and ask yourself, what areas of my life have I improved in today? got it out the mud. I started from the bottom. When nobody wanted to support me, when nobody wanted to cheer for me, when everybody told me I needed to go get that nine to five or everybody told me that it would never work. I will never be a good speaker. Why be normal will never grow. I'll never be able to do things in the community. I'll never be able to go into the schools.
