Starting point is 00:00:33 New episodes are being released every week. The link is in the description. 99% of people are not willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true. The Marines have a saying, everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. The center of bringing any dream into fruition is self-discipline. You know, something as simple as food and eating, it's not about your body as much as it is about your mind. It's getting command of your mind to be able to choose actions that are in your own best interest. Every day, we are choosing shit that's not in our own best interest.

Starting point is 00:01:26 So if the world is attacking you and the world wants to fight you and the world's trying to hold you down, So you're going to kick yourself in the balls? So you're going to stop yourself from getting what you dream. And I think the word discipline has kind of gotten a bad name. We think about it in terms of punishment. I'm not talking about discipline in that way. I'm talking about discipline in the sense that you forego immediate pleasure for the exchange of long-term self-term.

Starting point is 00:02:02 respect. I believe that self-discipline is the definition of self-love. That when you say that you love yourself, that means that you have behavior towards yourself that is loving. Self-discipline is the center of all material success. You cannot win the war against the world. It is a You can't win the war against your own mind. Self-love is when you say to yourself, man, look, I know you and that girl got a real connection. I know y'all vibe, but that's your girl's cousin. So I love you too much to let you do that.

Starting point is 00:03:00 It's like you say to yourself, hey, man, look, I know you want to eat that pizza and it'll be really good, you know but I can't let you eat that man because if you eat that pizza you gonna feel like you know and I I just I love you too much to let you eat that self love is hey look I know you got a a test on Monday you know and I know you really want to go out with your friends a Saturday night you want to go out but if you failed that test you're not going to feel good about yourself you know I just I love you too much to let you go out tonight. Self-discipline is self-love. If you want to be happy, you have to love yourself,

Starting point is 00:03:46 which means you have to discipline your behavior. The road to sustained happiness is through disciplining your behavior. We tend to base our self-esteem on what other people think, and that's not really self-esteem self-esteem is supposed to be how we feel about ourselves and I was just saying how dangerous it is to allow other people to determine how you're going to feel about you and it's kind of like looking into a broken mirror you're going to look in a broken mirror and then change your face to try to look good in this defiled busted broken mirror And it just other people's opinions is a really shi-way to determine how we feel about ourselves. It don't matter whose fault it is that something is broken if it's your responsibility to fix it.

Starting point is 00:05:02 For example, it's not somebody's fault if their father was an abusive alcoholic. But it's for damn sure their responsibility to figure out how they're going to deal with those traumas and try to make a life out of it. It's not your fault if your partner cheated and ruined your marriage, but it is for damn sure your responsibility to figure out how to take that pain and how to overcome that and build a happy life for yourself. Fault and responsibility do not go together. It sucks, but they don't. When something is somebody's fault, we want them to suffer, we want them punished, we want

Starting point is 00:05:42 them to pay. We want it to be their responsibility. responsibility to fix it, but that's not how it works, especially when it's your heart. Your heart, your life, your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility alone. As long as we're pointing a finger and stuck in whose fault something is, we're jammed and trapped into victim mode. When you're in victim mode, you are stuck in suffering. to power is in taking responsibility. Your heart, your life, your happiness

Starting point is 00:06:21 is your responsibility and your responsibility alone. You can make a person smile, you can make a person feel good, you can make a person laugh, but whether or not a person is happy is deeply and totally and utterly out of your control. The prerequisite for spending time with any person, is that they nourish and inspire you.

Starting point is 00:06:50 They feed your flame. Look at your last five text messages. Are those people feeding your flames or dousing your fire? Put your phone down for just a second and look around. Look to the people around you. Are those people throwing logs on your fire or are they pissing on it? I want my life. I want my work, my family.

Starting point is 00:07:26 I want it to mean something and it's like it has if you are not making someone else's life better than you're wasting your time. The separation of talent and skill is one of the the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel who have dreams that want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beaten on your craft. You don't try to build a wall. You don't set out to build a wall.

Starting point is 00:08:01 You don't say, I'm going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that's ever been built. You don't start there. You say, I'm going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. There will not be one brick on the face of the earth that's going to be laid better than this brick that I'm going to lay in this next 10 minutes. And you do that every single day. And soon you have a wall. And I think psychologically, the advantage that that gives me over a lot of people that I have been in competition with in different situations is it's difficult to take the first step when you look how big the task is. The definition of who I am is very clear to me.

Starting point is 00:08:53 And it also redefines who I want to be in that. I know for a fact that I'm stronger than I thought I was. You can't help but ask yourself the question, what would I do if I was in Muhammad Ali's shoes? I'm motivated by fear. I hate being scared to do something. And I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that

Starting point is 00:09:32 I started attacking things that I was scared of. Why were you scared in your bed the night before? What do you need that fear for? Just don't go. Why are you scared in your bed 16 hours before you jump? Why are you scared in the car? Why could you not enjoy breakfast? Fear is fear of what?

Starting point is 00:09:57 You're nowhere even near the airplane. Everything up to the stepping out. there's actually no reason to be scared it only just ruins your day you're you don't have to jump and then in that moment all of a sudden where you should be terrified is the most blissful experience of your life and God place the best things in life on the other side of terror
