Starting point is 00:00:36 The link is in the description. We all have bad days. Dark days. Days where nothing seems to be going your way. Days where you feel like the weight of the world is just on your shoulders. Days where all your fears and worries just seem to be building up and building up. Problems at work. Problems at home.
Starting point is 00:01:00 arguing with your partner, with your parents, money problems, wondering how you're going to keep making ends meet to support your family, scared of walking up to the till in case your card declines, putting five pounds in the petrol tank, because that's all you've got in the bank. I have days like this. We all have days like this. Sometimes you just want the world to swallow you up, but you've got to hold on. The first thing you've got to do to get out of the darkness is to start looking for the light. Start looking and focusing on solutions rather than all the problems in your life that you face. Stop asking questions like, why me, why now? And start asking questions like how.
Starting point is 00:01:48 How can I get through this? How can I make more money? When something bad happens in life, our common responses to ask questions like, why me? Why the bad things always happen to good people? Now I'd love to tell you that pain won't come in your life but I can't. I'd love to tell you that you can go through life without disappointment but I can't. Now I'd love to tell you that you'll go through life without any heartache but I can't. Just know that if you hold your ground and push through pain you will become stronger.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Diamonds ain't formed on soft sandy beach somewhere. They're formed in the toughest, most intense, most dangerous place on earth, under pressure that you couldn't even imagine. under tension, under pain. All life demands struggle. Most people think life comes with privileges, not problems, promises, not pain. But those who have everything given to them don't appreciate shit. They become lazy, selfish to the real values in life. The hard work and the struggle that you face now
Starting point is 00:02:52 is the main ingredient for who you'll become tomorrow. How can we appreciate success and happiness if we've never had pain? How can we appreciate beauty without ugliness? How can we appreciate the light without the dark? Every single struggle makes you better. All the tough times make you stronger. Every time you get knocked down, it lets you climb a little higher next time. What are you going to do when you go through pain?
Starting point is 00:03:19 Because how pain changes you is up to you. You can come out angry and resentful or you can come out grateful for the experience. You can come out bitter, but you can also come out. better. We all experience pain. My challenge to you is to not just go through pain but grow through it. Probably one of the biggest, most important things that we can do as human beings is to deal with failure. See, most of us as kids are brought up with this universal belief that failure is bad, right? That losing is bad and that failure or losing means embarrassment. It means humiliation. It means we're not good enough. It means that we should not ever even try.
Starting point is 00:04:07 something unless we are absolutely 100% sure that we can win. So what happens is we go through life and this happens over and over again. We don't go for that job in case we don't get it. We don't make that phone call to say sorry in case our apology isn't accepted. We don't, we don't. It wasn't until I started to love failure and look for it. I started being successful in this shit I was doing. You know, failure is a massive part of being successful.
Starting point is 00:04:40 You have to be comfortable failing. You have to learn to love it. And to do that, the first step, you have to forget all of those associations that we've got about failure. You know, you've got to replace them with positive ones. You know, when people look at successful people or people that have what they want, they have this delusion that they have got where they are by miraculously succeed in everything that they've done. failing and the odds of them doing that without failing are like zero see they've failed to realize that that person that they look up to that person that they want to be that person that's on top
Starting point is 00:05:21 has failed more times than they can possibly imagine don't fear failure like learn to love it learn to live with it every day and realize that it doesn't exist as the world knows you can have anything you want be anyone you want But you're going to have to work. Hard work is the universe's great equalizer. Hard work is the thing that has leveled the playing field and given the average Joe, an underdog, a shot of crown. All right?
Starting point is 00:05:57 If you work hard and you never give up, you can literally achieve anything. Stop looking for the easy way. Stop looking for the shortcut, because let me tell you there ain't one. No matter who you are, you have where you are right now and where you want to be. And there's only one road or one path that takes you there and that's hard for work, baby. You have everything you need to have everything you want. But you must get to work.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Let's think of some things that might happen if you try to do the thing that you've been wanting to do for years. Okay, well, it might not work the first time. It might not be as easy as you thought. People might laugh at you and talk about you behind your back. You might get hurt. But if you keep taking action, in spite of all this stuff that might happen, guess what? Sooner or later, you're going to start winning. Remember, there ain't no such thing as failure, baby, only feedback.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Now, let's talk about what will happen if you don't act. Well, you will keep getting the same results. you get now. You will keep getting treated the same. You will keep making the same money. You will keep doing the things you don't want to be doing. And worst of all, you will get to the end of your life and regret that you didn't try. You see, there's no other way. I mean, the decision really is a no-brainer. So to make yourself take action, you've got to make a decision. And that decision has to be final. People take action and get it done when they have had enough.
Starting point is 00:07:53 They decide and they say, that's it, I'm done. No more. No more will I be treated like this? No more will I be overweight? No more will I be in a job that I hate? At the moment, your brain thinks like this. Trying this new thing will be hard, it'll be risky, etc, etc. Basically, associating taking action with pain.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So, what you need to do is to train your mind and focus on the pain you'll get if you don't act. And to reinforce that, focus on all the pleasure that you will get if you act. The most important thing though is to know that you're not alone. I've been there. Your friends have been there. The celebrities and famous people that you follow on social media that you look up to, They've all been there, no matter how perfect someone else's life seems from the outside, just remember that they all deal with pain and darkness too. So it's okay not to be okay.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Pain is there to make you better. Without struggle, there can be no victory. And let me tell you, when you've been through pain, when you fall for where you are, you ain't going to let anyone take away what you've got. When you've earned it and paid your dues and suffered and failed and been hurt, and being down and you get back up over and over. When pain and struggle comes to face you again,
Starting point is 00:09:28 you look it in the face and stand it down because you've been through too much. You're too strong now. Everything that has happened to you up until this point has made you who you are and it will continue to mould you into who you will be. All pain, all the sacrifice, all the heartache, all the criticism is always gonna be there.
Starting point is 00:09:51 But you've gotta go through it.
