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.

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. Fuck your tired body. Fuck that unmotivated mind. And get out there and do it anyway. I'm tired today. I'm lazy. I don't want to do it. It's too hard.
Starting point is 00:00:48 No one else is doing it. It's a weekend. It's too late. These are already off hours. Oh, exactly what I want isn't happening right now. Like, okay, great. You know who that's great for? Your competition.
Starting point is 00:00:58 You're getting in there and you're overthinking. And thinking and all these things come in too much of like, I have to do this, this and this. After a four second negative, oh my God, that's going to be so hard. I should drop the weight. Then like, no, just can get in there, know what you can do. Bust your ass and get out of there. Sometimes overthinking it holds you back. People want to, they want to jump from day one to day 10 by getting some big seed money or big investment.
Starting point is 00:01:20 And dude, I don't care how much money I've made. I try to pretend like I'm broke every single day in the way that I think because it forces me to create new solutions and innovate in my brain. I had one of my sales guys who I said, dude, I don't see you at the gym. And he said, you know, I'm just really busy. And I just like, look to him. And I was like, you will never have more time and less responsibility than you do now. So I kind of used the James Clear thing. I said, hey, if you can't make it work now, except that you're never going to be in shape for the rest of your life.
Starting point is 00:01:49 It was like, whoa. I was like, think about it. Rid yourself. Right. Yeah. I was like, you're just never going to be in shape. He was like, well, I mean, that. I was like, right.
Starting point is 00:01:57 So do it or don't. But stop wanting it. I promise you. You don't want to be that old person sitting on your deathbed looking back at your life, feel with regret because you always made the easy choice. Stink it! Right. Now!
Starting point is 00:02:13 Whatever the fuck you have! Detch, go all in, embrace it. Let it mold you, shape you into what you've always wanted to become. You got to lock in. You have to put the hours in. You may have to raise children, cultivate your marriage, your side hustle all at the same time. Everybody knows if you don't go to the gym, if you don't get on the treadmill, put the cardio in, if you don't hit the weights and lift,
Starting point is 00:02:42 you're not going to walk around with the physique that you see in your head. It's going to remain a conversation, a vision, a dream. Lazy people don't know how to start, weak people don't know how to finish, successful people don't know how to stop. People demand success, but refuse to work weekends. People want opportunity but won't talk to strangers. People claim ambition but sleep in every day. We are the result of our actions, not our aspirations. Let's say we have a circuit breaker.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Okay? And I'm loading everything up to one fucking circuit. Just load it up. It's going to fucking blow. And once that thing blows, man, the circle's all fucked up. You've got to have each thing plugged into the right spot. Like a frown crowded garage.
Starting point is 00:03:28 You can't put anything in it. Once your brain is crowded, discipline is great. Motivation is great. But if you can't fit shit in your brain because it's all fucking cluttered with shit, there's no discipline. You may have it sometimes when it fits in that crowded garage of your mind, but you don't have the consistency that you need to have with that discipline. There's actually two human beings in the bathroom every morning.
Starting point is 00:03:57 There's you, and there's a human being. in the mirror. And that human being is trying, and they've been there a long time, and they've been waiting for you to wake up and to see them. They're tired of your constant negativity. They're tired of you beating them down. They need you to be more encouraging. They need you to be more celebratory. They need your support. And when you finally wake up, and create a moment with yourself every single morning where you look yourself in the eye and you see yourself and you forgive yourself and you honor yourself and you say I believe with this gesture in you it is this remarkably deep and spiritual feeling of connection that
Starting point is 00:04:57 you've been longing for for a very long time. Your excuses will destroy you and take everything that you ever wanted from you if you let them. It can seem like a friend, just like your friend that keeps feeding you drinks at the bar can seem like a friend. But are they really helping you in any way, shape, or form? No, they're not. They're not. So when your excuses make you feel a little bit better about the fact that you didn't execute
Starting point is 00:05:24 on what you needed to execute on, then they can't. can make you feel better, but they're not helping you. They're not helping you at all. Because I developed this work ethic in high school and I realized, man, if I want to be good, I got to, I got to wake up in the morning and I got to do the extra work. And I got to show up when other guys aren't. And I've got to learn. I've got to continue to be open to learning. To be successful at anything, the truth is you don't have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren't. Consistent, determined, and willing to be. And will it. You're not. You just have to be what most people aren't. Consistent, determined, and willing to work for it, integrity, purpose, determination, and
Starting point is 00:06:02 discipline that it takes to be a champion in life. No shortcuts. It was a tough battle for me. It was a tough go. It was tough in high school. It was really tough in college. If I want to be the best, I got to beat the best. And this is where the best are. I said I wasn't the prodigy. I learned about work ethic. I learned about resilience. I learned about gaining the trust and the respect of my teammates and coaches. I learned about how to dig deep within myself a long way from home without a ton of support to still try to find a way to succeed in this situation that I really wanted to be in because it was the best for me anyway. Focused on what you can control. Focus on what you're getting, not what anyone else is getting. Go out there and treat practice like no one else does.
Starting point is 00:06:48 And I did that every single day. I didn't care about going to. all these different places and doing those things. I just wanted to be my best. The team believed in me, I didn't want to let them down. What's the choice you get to make every day to wake up and say, all right, this is where I'm going to focus my time and energy. How discipline are you to maintain that routine over a period of time? And I think that will determine your level of success. Be proud of that man that wakes up every day and does the best you can do with his priorities. Stop waiting for life to be easy. Stop hoping for somebody to save you.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Face some hard facts and you could have an incredible life. You can just do it anyway. You can do it tired. You can do it with no self-belief. You don't want to. You can do it when you think it's not going to work. You can just do things. Do it sad.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Do it lonely. Do it without a role model. Because if you're waiting for somebody to come along and give you that helping hand, sometimes you're going to be waiting too long. you're going to be waiting too long. Every morning I woke up, I had a real conversation with that dirty mirror. And every day, the same answer came back to me.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Do you want to be on your deathbed knowing that you could, but you didn't? A lot of people wait for perfect conditions to start, but don't realize that starting is the perfect condition. Waiting to begin never got anyone anywhere. Even if it's not your fault, it's still your responsibility. No one's coming to save you. Nobody.
Starting point is 00:08:29 You are it. Life you want, you are it. You can say something's not my fault and still say I'm going to own it and I'm going to work on dealing with this because it's mine to deal with. It was like the truest realization that no one is coming. It's a becoming of what your habits are. It's, hey, if you really are wanting to take on this journey and become, you know, someone that is taking charge and learning about things, it comes down to your mindset. It's about what you're consuming.
Starting point is 00:08:55 It's about you're doing with your mind. If you want to make a change, it starts with what direction is in my mind going? Am I getting distracted all the time by social media and stuff like that? Am I wanting to do things at a high level? But I'm taking the steps to actually learn about that. Identity and values drive behavior. So if you want to make a change, you have to change your vision of who you are. You have to begin telling yourself a different narrative.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And the narrative you tell yourself about yourself is everything. And if you tell yourself that you're a scare, undereducated kid from Tacoma whose family has never accomplished anything. Let me tell you what you will become. A scared, undereducated kid from Tacoma who never accomplishes anything because that's what you believe. You tell yourself that story enough and it will become real. But on the flip side, you could tell yourself a story of you're a learner.
Starting point is 00:09:45 You learn faster than most people. You're willing to put in more work than most people. You're willing to read more books than most people. You're willing to spend an inhuman amount of time. every day improving your mind simply by getting new ideas into the system and once I switched my narrative to being the learner it didn't matter where I started it only mattered where I was trying to go and as long as I had that clarity then I could execute because I believed I could do anything I set my mind to without limitation
Starting point is 00:10:12 everything everybody knows they learned and they are not more intelligent than you so you can learn it too so the more I realized this is my journey It was you. So you better figure out who the fuck you are on this journey. But you first had to figure out you because a lot of people die with a lot of untapped potential because you're trying to be somebody that they're not. So I was able to figure out my own potential by figuring out me. No one's coming. No one. No one's coming to push you. No one's coming to tell you to turn the TV off. No one's coming to tell you to get out the door and exercise. Nobody's coming to tell you to apply for that
Starting point is 00:10:55 job that you've always dreamt about. Nobody's coming to write the business plan for you. It's up to you. Just get up. Move towards that challenge, whatever that challenge is. Move towards that challenge and go attack it. And you may be successful and you may not be successful, but you will be better. When every boy realizes no one's coming to save him, and that's when he becomes a man, and some boys never get there and stay children forever. Nobody cares about you. And I mean that in the most positive, optimistic, inspiring, motivating way. You think that everybody's paying attention. And because of that, it kind of controls how you think.
Starting point is 00:11:31 And the reality is nobody gives a shit. Everybody is so focused on themselves in this world. Nobody has time for you. Look around you. There was no fucking team. It was you. There was no weight loss program or mom and dad waking you up saying you can do it. You can be better trying to build belief.
Starting point is 00:11:47 You built belief when you had nothing. I found myself in a place that I just never envisioned I would be. I would wake up every morning, just pinned to the bed with anxiety, and I became somebody that I barely recognized. And, you know, the thing that's interesting about being stuck in life is that the fact is, you know, you know what you need to do. That's the easy part. It's the how. How the f-do you make yourself do what you need to do?
Starting point is 00:12:25 When you are scared or overwhelmed or anxious or hopeless or depressed or any of the stuff that happens to you as a human. That's the $100 million question. And because you're only ever going to do the things that you feel like doing right now or that feel good right now, Unless you understand that you've got to parent yourself, you've got to push yourself, you're not going to make your dreams come true. You're just not. We're not wired that way. You weren't born that way.
Starting point is 00:12:57 You weren't that way when you were growing up, and you're certainly not that way as an adult. And there's a tremendous amount of liberation that comes when you accept the fact that you're always going to need to give yourself a push. We don't want to be left alone by herself with ourselves. So we come in and we sit down and we get on our phone or we turn on the TV or we go wherever we do whatever because we don't want to face the reality of being by herself with ourselves. Start making yourself a companion that you're comfortable with and become comfortable in your own skin. I've trained 99% of my life alone. No one pat me on the back.
Starting point is 00:13:39 I did all of the work alone. And while I'm still hard on myself, I know what I did. You know, if you're going to create anything of value in this life, even if it's with other people, you're going to have to be willing to be on your own for a bit, to forage on your own, to take walks alone. I just have bad news for everybody. Nobody cares that you don't have time to practice.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Nobody cares that you can grow up with money. Nobody cares that you came from a bad neighborhood. Nobody cares about your problems. Stop with the pity party. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. And remember, no one is going to save you but you. Save yourself. It seems like my version of personal development requires me to fall into a hole or dig one.
Starting point is 00:14:23 And then I realize nobody's coming to rescue me. And if I want to get out of the hole, I'm going to need to build a freaking ladder. It doesn't sound good to say that you're in control, that nobody's coming to save you. But that's what works. And so if you take Kobe Bryant's advice, which is that booze don't block dunks, and the idea that you can get so good at something that people can't stop you from succeeding. And I promise you, every single person who wants to do something with their life and has done something with their life has gone through the exact chapter that you're going through. And it's the lonely chapter.
Starting point is 00:14:56 It's the chapter where you don't fit in with your own friends, but you don't have the outcomes yet to fit into a new group of friends. And you're going through this and you're like, is this even worth it because you have no signs of success. But if there's anything that you can take away from what we're saying right now is that the sign of success is the hate. that you get along the way. First of all, nobody is coming. If you've been sitting around waiting for somebody to discover you, to pick you, to save you, to rescue you, to give you your shot, it's not happening. Like, at some point you got to wake up and realize when you're 18 and you're out of that
Starting point is 00:15:28 house, you have to parent yourself. Your life is your responsibility. No one is going to save you. We can't do this for you. This journey predominantly must come from you. It's not what other people think. It's your life. But if it's your life, you've got to be willing to pay the price.
Starting point is 00:15:51 There are going to be seasons in your life where nobody is coming. Nobody's coming to support you. Nobody's coming to help you. Nobody's coming to save you. No one is coming to rescue you. You're going to pull yourself out of the pit of misery and put the work in. Everything about it is accountability. Everything about it is self.
Starting point is 00:16:10 discipline. Everything about it is no one's going to save you. No one's going to come out the woods and say, hey, I got your back, man. I want to take you from all this shit. I got to do it all on my own now, you know, but that's the truth. I had to do it on my own, you know, just like he did. You got to do it on your own. Sometimes you just have to have the ability to save yourself. I'm not going to say it was easy because it wasn't, but I had to learn it. You have to take your own research. You have to take your own responsibility. No one's going to save you. You have to do it. You got to learn to pick yourself up on your own. A lot of times these fights and these battles, you got to be your own coach. You got to be your own motivator. You got a long journey ahead of you because you're going to find out that while
Starting point is 00:16:54 your dad did a lot of shit to you, you're going to have to make it on your own. You have to look at your own life and you have to realize, okay, you either have to change yourself or you got to make everybody else wrong. You got to look at your own life and go, what do I need to change so I can be successful. And people don't want to do that. It's easier to try. You to try to make the other person wrong. Really, because I don't care about being solitary. I don't care about being on my own. I don't care about taking risks because for a very long time I was in any case on my own.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And everything was a risk, going to school was a risk, or going out for lunch was a risk or whatever. People struggle to do things alone. And the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means that you are not with other people. And rather than fighting that or bemoaning it, or bemoaning it, see it as an indicator that you're on the right path. Because if everyone else were cheering you on, then it means you're not in the right place because it means you're just like everyone else and that's not where you want to be. You have to be alone in a very dark place in your mind to think about what is important to you.
Starting point is 00:17:58 So you're going to feel the pain of being ostracized from the group of friends that you used to have. But you're stuck in this messy middle where you haven't yet worked out who you are on the other side of this. And that lonely chapter that's in the middle is something that, I would say almost nobody that I've ever met who has gone from a place where they are to a place where they want to be hasn't gone through. You have to make that start. You have to separate yourself from the pack.
Starting point is 00:18:25 You have to be willing to spend time with yourself. You have to sacrifice. I knew that no one was coming back to help me. No one's a miracle to me to be somebody special. All my situations were on me now and solely on me. It's close to three in the morning right now. The thing is, man, it's always gonna be a party. It's always gonna be a time to celebrate,
Starting point is 00:18:47 and at a time to join friends. I mean, the bars are always open. Always open. No matter how old you are, they're always open, you know? What's not always open is the opportunity to to check the box in life, you know, to achieve your dreams. That's not always open.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I'm talking about right now, the small steps in between the the big successes that everyone sees. No one sees this. Right now I'm saying like, there's a confidence to it, man. There's a bad motherfucker that's right here, you know, that it's getting ahead of the competition. There's an overwhelming sense of fulfillment and pride and satisfaction with that. Successful people have mastered the art of spending time alone when I get time with myself. And I get in my head and I get in my heart and I understand my behaviors and my belief systems and my parameters and what I need to do and how I need to soul and where I need to send my energy and how I need to execute in the day. It's a superpower when you spend that time alone and you can think and you can pray and you can meditate and everybody's not in your mix.
Starting point is 00:20:02 You're able to grow something. Spending time alone is the only place where you get to have these conversations. And most of us are spending time away from being alone because we're scared of having these conversations. The challenge today is that we think that there's only one word for being alone. And we call it loneliness. We've forgotten about a second word. It's called solitude.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Solitude and loneliness externally look the same. but they're completely different things. Solitude is the strength of being alone, and loneliness is the weakness. I don't respect a whole bunch of people, but the few that I did respect are the people who were uncommon amongst uncommon people. And what that means is those people
Starting point is 00:20:49 who weren't afraid to stand alone. I'm very comfortable in my own head. I'm very comfortable alone. For hours at a time, for days at a time, the one companion that's always going to be, with you is yourself. No one's coming. No one.
Starting point is 00:21:07 You go after things. You try them. Even if you fail, you get back up and you continue to try and fail, continue to try and fail, and ensuring you never fail to try. If you want it bad enough, you find a way. If you don't want it bad enough, you find an excuse. The only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey is you have got to suffer, to grow.
Starting point is 00:21:31 To grow, you must suffer. Healthy things grow, healthy people grow, but growth hurts like hell. But growth hurts. Becoming the best version of yourself comes with a lot of goodbyes. It's really fucking uncomfortable, but you need to do it if you want to grow. Everyone's got the talent and everyone wants it, but somebody wants it more. Someone's heartbeat is constantly beating for it. When you perform to a certain level when no one's watching,
Starting point is 00:22:03 Everyone's watching is an habitual habit that's trained and perfected and then remastered and remastered every single day. If it always feels easy, you're probably doing it wrong. Growth hurts before it pays off. The pain that you feel today though is going to be the power that you're going to feel tomorrow. To grow, you must suffer. You can't escape it. You can't run from it. All you have to do is rise up again. Everybody wants success, but nobody wants to suffer.
Starting point is 00:22:38 And without suffering, there is no success. So suffer now and live the rest of your life a champion. It's not a game. Every single day you've got to get up and put the work at. Every single day, you have to give it all you have. Because the future is depending on you. Children, people, generations are depending on you. And what you do today will determine how your future looks.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Everybody wants a new life and new area code, new zip codes, new cards, new relationships, new connections. We want influence and affluence and money and power. But nobody wants to suffer. You can't have anything. We're done with the pain. So put the pain in. Suffer now. And see the success come.
Starting point is 00:23:33 You want to break my motherfuckin' legs? Your legs, so be it. I have a way of going to a place where all the pain and suffering that they put on top of me in Hell Week. I will reverse that pain and suffering, and I will take your soul, knowing that I'm comfortable, being very unfucking comfortable. That's my happiness, is my reflection on the suffering of my journey, knowing I never quit. Only weak motherfuckers in life go after things they already know they can achieve. You've got to do something you're not to put sure. Try something new if you're going to switch it up.
Starting point is 00:24:12 That's where growth comes, man. That's where your body's forced to adapt. Forced to suffer the discipline today. So you never suffer before and regret tomorrow. That's what the fuck that's about. We have the ability to go in such a space if you're willing to suffer. And I mean suffer. Your brain and your body once connected together can do anything.
Starting point is 00:24:38 You know, I think about greatness. I think about not whether you have what it takes like that. I think everybody has what it takes, but it's, will you do what it takes? And that's the difference. A lot of people listening, you have what it takes, but will you do what it takes to be great? Greatness is doing whatever it takes to get there. I had to figure out I wasn't going to be a punk kid all my life. So the way I could turn it around was to suffer.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I had to build calluses in my brain the same way I built calluses on my hands. So I broke the Ginsburg of Roy's record for pull-ups a long time ago, but I failed at it twice. And I did 67,000 pull-ups in trying to break this record. So to do 4,030 pull-ups, I had to do 67,000 for training for that. Wow. And so what I realized is for me to become the man I want. wanted to become, I saw myself as the weakest person God ever created. So I wanted to change that to be the hardest man ever created. Am I that? I don't know, but you had to have a goal.
Starting point is 00:25:52 My goal was the only person that's going to turn this person around is me. The only way I can turn around is put myself through the worst things possible a human being can ever endure. And that'd be the only way that I can build this brain to handle anything that comes in front of it, callousing mind through pain and suffering. It's not about the dog that's in the fight. It's the fight within the dog. Well yes, it's a shitty situation. I gotta go to work because I got to pay the bills and support my family. But you know it doesn't mean that to shortcut my success in what I'm doing. I'll find a way to work this out. It's all about the perseverance of somebody. That will override any endeavor. What continues
Starting point is 00:26:32 the last forever is a perseverance to always show up. That's what champions do. Every single champion is the same as every ordinary person. The only differential is that they show up to the event every single day. They see failure as a learning curve. They welcome failure. You learn more from failure than you ever grow from success. So showing up and getting knocked on your ass and back up and read their own and read their own, it's going to be the overriding factor that makes a difference.
Starting point is 00:26:56 All of that can be attained if you show up and you're willing to risk failure for success. But what I find so interesting is how we, as a species, run for success. We run from suffering. I firmly believe that you need something that is brutal, is difficult, is hardship, it knocks you off center, it makes you feel bad because in the process of rebuilding and clawing back from that climbing up, then you can become something.
Starting point is 00:27:26 But you, unless you've been tested, unless you've gone to the ringer, you've got no hope. What you've done is maybe the ultimate expression of that, which is how do you put yourself through it? Only the strong, survive, and all the crap, crap, they're all just f***ing words. Someone may think, Godgan's just talking. You don't know me. So when I speak, I speak from passion. I speak from experience. I speak from suffering. There will always be pain. There will always be betrayal. There will always be somebody that doubts you,
Starting point is 00:27:55 somebody that overlooks you, somebody that undervalues you, somebody that talks to talk but doesn't walk to walk, somebody that's with you, but not for you. We're always going to experience pain. I'm going to say it again. It is inevitable and it is unavoidable. So use it because it's always going to be there. There will always be a measure of pain in your life. If you can for the rest of your life live inside of yourself, stop listening to people who are calling you fat.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Everything that is makes no sense. All these insecure people putting their insecurities on you, you got to flush it out. You got to just be whoever the hell God or whatever the hell you believe in. If you believe in nothing but yourself, I don't care what it is. You got to take everything and throw it away. You have to believe in one thing, and that is yourself.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Right now, for you to find greatness in yourself, you're not going to find it by looking in a book or by even hearing me. I may give you the spark, but you've got to go inside yourself to find it. And that means you got to be quiet. Shut the fuck up, go in a room, stop talking, search your soul. search your mind, search your abilities, and you'll find it. But if you're not looking for it, you won't find it. So you got to go start your journey.
Starting point is 00:29:17 And the journey starts with you finding, why the hell am I here on this planet Earth? Why am I here? If you don't know that, you will live the rest of your life searching, always asking the question, why. On that last 19 miles, feet are broken, ankles are taped, shin splints, stress fractures. What are the words that are going through your mind? Are you in the cookie jar? I'm deep in the cookie jar. The cookie jar is something that I've made up of all the failures of my life.
Starting point is 00:29:50 All the things that I failed and I went back. I failed and I went back and I finally succeeded. All the things that kicked my ass. I put them all in the cookie jar because at times of hell, even the hardest men in times of suffering, what we do is we forget how hard we really are. Because that's what suffering is. Suffering is a test.
Starting point is 00:30:08 It's all it is. Suffering is the true test of life. And so that cookie jar travels in my brain. So whenever I get put in a situation where life sucks, I take a second, I take the one second decision. I step out of my life for one second, go in the cookie jar, pull up, oh, motherfucker, you went, you were in three hell weeks and finished two.
Starting point is 00:30:29 One of those hell weeks, a guy died and killed it was so bad. Oh, you are a motherfuckin' badass. You're under no obligation to be who you were five minutes ago. You can just change it. Just decide to be somebody else today if you really want to. And then the second thing that holds people back is the fears that they create. But there's actually on two fears that people are born with. It's the fear of loud noises and the fear of falling.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Are the two ones that are built into the human circuitry. Everything else is learned. You have primal fears, which is actually like physical pain or death attached to it, which we need to survive. The other ones, the fear of failure, the fear of rejection, the fear of not being loved, the fear of running out of money. all of those are intellectual fears because they're not actually existing
Starting point is 00:31:06 in reality in this moment. Fear is a perception of a imagined future event. And the key part is imagined future event. It may never happen. And it's not happening right now. We got to suffer. That's how we grow.
Starting point is 00:31:23 That's how we become something that the world has yet to see. If things are going to get tough, I got to be ready. What if the pain can make you better? What if the pain could build muscle? What if the pain could cause you to reach higher to leap farther, to run faster? What if the pain could help you?
Starting point is 00:31:45 What if all pain isn't hurt, but it's help? It holds more value than you think. Because that's a small step of what the big steps become. And if you shortcut the simple, easy ones, How are you ever going to complete two from start to finish the ones that really matter? Just like a true champion doesn't just exist in the arena, but exists everywhere else too. Those moments and inches that are won at the final hour that make or break a win or a loss aren't discovered there. They're discovered through thousands of hours in the training lab.
Starting point is 00:32:26 When no one's watching, do you get up? and run in five in the morning when it's pouring down rain. At those competitions, at the very end state, what really wins it isn't the potential to person? It's the perseverance. I know who you are because you're the same person in adversity, in victory, and defeat. You're the same motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:32:57 It's just hard work. You've got to put in the work. You got to put in the hours. Whether it's repetitions or whatever it is, you've got to get up and get after it. as hard as you can, you want to be the hardest working person in the real. If what they're going after truly makes them happy, if it's driven by happiness, they will have nothing but success because you will enjoy getting up early in the morning.
Starting point is 00:33:21 You'll enjoy outworking everybody. You have one life. We got one shot at this. There's no dress rehearsals at all. A lot of people look at investing in yourself as taking care of yourself is selfish. I actually think it's the most selfless act you can engage in. Because if you're no good to yourself, you can't be good for anybody else. And so by working on yourself, by improving yourself, by valuing yourself, you literally make every single person in your orbit in your circle better. If you can't get up and get after it, how do you expect to go to another level?
Starting point is 00:33:57 Tradition tells you sleep in. Your bank account tells you get up and get after it. If you don't, somebody else will. One day that thing's going to come up. And if you're not constantly performing without purpose, you're not going to be ready when the time comes. It's this magical thing, purpose that we're all looking for. But we don't take a second to realize the purpose is always there.
Starting point is 00:34:23 The purpose never leaves us because the very purpose is you. So if you wake up in the morning and you don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself. That is the number one purpose in life. is to better oneself. So the reason I give up every day, even though there's no race, or there's no school, there's nothing in front of me,
Starting point is 00:34:42 is because I have pride in myself. You're still waiting on that alarm clock to wake you up, because you're too lazy to get up out of that bed and get on with your life. Our clock ain't got no business for you. Rise up and get after it. This is your day.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Get up and beat up and be it. Eat yourself from yesterday. Get up and get after it. This ain't about today. This ain't about tomorrow. This is about everyday. Why? Because every day matters.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And when you learn to perfect every single day, you're gonna wake up and see yourself doing things you never thought were possible. You're not waiting for the perfect time. You're making it the perfect time. You don't need to be in the perfect setting. Nah, you're gonna make it why? Because you're fueled on the inside.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Are you gonna finish losing? Are you gonna finish as a winner? winner believe that this is the first day of the best days of your life what if i told you that what tried to break you trained you what tried to delay you disciplined you and even the isolation that you've been navigating has sharpened you what if i told you that you are not late you are loaded potential be possible that average convinces us that that survival is success. How is it that we've gotten to the place where we normalize, being tired, being defeated, being active, but not accomplishing anything? Average is the enemy
Starting point is 00:36:39 of dominion. You cannot rule what you refuse to master. Average people avoid mastery. Average numbs your hunger while stealing your assignment. Average brings us into prisons and pits and caves where we lose our desperation where we are no longer hungry for a quality of life this is not your end this is your deployment this is not a motivational speech this is a summons you are commissioned this is not inspiration this is instruction No more rehearsals, no more almost, no more one day. I move when God says move. I strike when the window opens.
Starting point is 00:37:32 I obey without negotiation. I finish what I start. You did not survive to just tell a story. You survived to execute your assignment. Get up and evaluate. Get up and be grateful. that you are still alive, even if it feels as though you've lost everything, you still have your faith. So focus, focus, focus, let faith be stirred and focus, because history does not remember the distracted, it remembers the devoted.
Starting point is 00:38:12 You cried and suffered long enough from scattered focus, from borrowed dreams, from noise that promised comforts, but stole your calling. Enough tears have fallen on confusion. Now is the time to weep and work. You may be hurting, but work. You may be bleeding, but build. You may be tired, but get up. It's time to labor with vision and build with conviction
Starting point is 00:38:43 to give birth to something that will still speak when the dust has settled over your bones. Greatness is not loud at the beginning. Sometimes greatness is quiet, lonely, and it will demand separation from everything that attempts to knock you off course. Greatness demands discipline. Average negotiates them away. Average attracts applause from people who settled. They will clap for you not because you are great, but because you make them comfortable.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Your life, your endeavors, your assignment, your anointing if you actually walk in it should make somebody uncomfortable. A lot of you listening to me were born into bloodlines that have suffered through generational captivity. it, you start and you don't finish. You get an idea and it stays in the journal. You did not fail and you're not finished. You did not come this far. You did not sweat that hard. You did not bleed and grind and hustle and pray and fast and hope for your heart to stop beating here. I need you to declare this with me. I with instructions still inside of me.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I refuse to meet God with unused faith. I refuse to explain why I played so small. When I was trained for war, I was trained to fulfill my destiny. Everything you survived was for this hour. And so there's no more catching up. You're stepping in. And this is not the season of preparation.
Starting point is 00:40:54 No. This is the season of execution. It is now. Not when it's comfortable. It is now. Not when it is applauded. The time is now. Because your moment, your opportunity, the open window.
Starting point is 00:41:10 This cannot be rescheduled. It is now or never. And I don't do never. Out of seven billion people, you are the strong. You are the alpha, you're the one. He said, I'm running through piles of fucking chest. That's your teammate, you're tripping. You ain't about to do that. That style, the hands here and bobby and leaving was really old school.
Starting point is 00:41:43 He gave him the additional pound that made him into the ultimate killing machine. Bring the pain to him. And that's all it, then we go see how tough you are. Tough guy. Am I going to win or am I going to not compete? I know what to do. I know what I'm capable of. I'm going to come in and win if I do it. You hate me because you're probably in the people. Because you're probably in the bed right now.
Starting point is 00:42:03 You're probably an underachiever. You're probably somebody who doesn't want to do anything with your lives. Do you feel that you're so weak and you're so miserable that you have nothing else left with yourself to push yourself forward? And I think that just, that flicked is switching me
Starting point is 00:42:18 where I was like, fuck you, watch this. He does play on the planet. What can you say? The fuck this. Enough and you're hungry and your thirst to go after what it is that you believe is Are you crazy enough? Are you courageous enough?
Starting point is 00:42:45 Come back and shock the world!
