REAL AF with Andy Frisella - 220. American Purpose

Episode Date: January 26, 2022

The world around us is crumbling, and it's our obligation as Americans to fix these issues. In today's episode, Andy explains how society is working to keep us from realizing our true potential and how taking your personal development seriously can improve America as a whole.

What is up guys, it's Andy Purcella and this is the show for the realest say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusionsusions of modern society, and welcome to motherfucking reality. Guys, today, I'm going to give you a little short real talk. Not sure how my voice is going to hold up. I'm still coming back from whatever the fuck I had, which was the flu, okay? The flu. It disappeared for two years, but it's back and happened to get me. Anyhow, I want to talk to you guys about something that I think is super important. Everybody right now knows that the world is pretty fucked up. All right. There's not a person out here listening to this show. Whether you agree with how I see it or not is not the point. The point is it's fucked up. Okay. Everywhere we look, we see things that don't make sense. We see things like,

you know, putting someone who's 200 pounds overweight on the cover of a fitness magazine, or let's see closing gyms when, you know, people need to be healthy and all these other things that seem to not really make sense in terms of us being healthy during a time in history when it's important to be healthy. And I hope that this time that we've all gone through over the last couple of years has started to open people's eyes to what's actually been going on the entire time. Okay. The sad reality is we have a system in place in this country and worldwide that does not

promote health. It does not promote the maximization of one's own true potential. All right. These people, if they actually cared about you, they would be teaching you how to be healthy. They would be teaching you how to be healthy. They would be teaching you how to be intelligent. They would be encouraging you to consume items for your brain that actually helped you. They would be teaching you to be active. They would be teaching you how to make money and how to be successful. But what they're really teaching you is how to be subservient and how to be a small, quiet, meek, little human that falls in line, that's easy to control because of how we are inundated with information and societal norms that make us dumber, fatter, weaker, and easier to control. And I hope that at the very least, you've been able to identify that at least a little bit over the last few years. All right. Now,

the question that I have been getting over and over and over again is what do I do? What can I do? What can I do? How do I do it? How do I do it? What do I do? What do I do? Okay. And I'm going to answer that question for you. Now there's all kinds of things that you could have done this whole time to prevent this from happening. And I've been covering them for two years and I'm not going to yell at people or get mad about it because the two years are gone. All right. We could have stopped it had we said no in the beginning. And we set a precedent now that is very dangerous because now we have a situation where they would be able to very easily do whatever they want to can do to become people that they cannot just oppress at the snap of a fucking fingers. And that's what I want to talk about with you today.

Okay. They've censored us. They have quieted us down. They de-platform people that don't agree with their narrative. They do all these things, right? But what can they not stop? What can they not censor? What can they not de-platform? What can they not keep from happening? That they cannot stop is actually the hardest thing for you to do

and the best, most effective thing against them. And that's this, holding a higher standard for yourself and for your family and for your community and living that standard day in and day out. Now, I have seen people all along this journey for the last two years, post meme after meme after meme. Then I see the next picture of them, you know, eating garbage or the next picture of them eating garbage or the next picture of them putting the compliance mask on, on the airplane or whatever they're doing, right?

The thing that you guys have to understand is that instead of bitching and complaining and waiting around for someone else to come fix everything, what you have to come to understand is that it's actually on all of us individually to fix ourselves, to fix what we see directly in front of us. And then that ripple effect will then spread amongst society. There is no quick fix for what's happened in this country. We have been told for the last 20 years that winning 17th place and getting a trophy is okay. Okay. We've been told that, you know, body acceptance is okay. Even if it's unhealthy, even if there's a pandemic where 80% of the people who are dying are obese, it's still okay. We have been told that fast food is

okay. We've been told all these things over the last 20 years and been culturally indoctrinated to be mediocre. All right. So how do you reverse that? How do you reverse? That's a big, that's a big thing that has to be reversed. And the answer is very simple. The answer is personal responsibility for your own standard.

And what that means is you have to actually do the fucking work to become what it is you believe a great American should be. And you have to live that out in the open without fear, without shame, without hesitation because of the narrative that's going on in society. And when you do that, when you do that, your neighbor's going to see it. Your cousin's going to see it. Your uncle's going to see it. People that you know are going to start seeing it and they're going to start saying, fuck yeah. That's what this is about. Okay. And until we all pick up that load and start carrying it, nothing will change because this is a culture problem.

This is a problem across all of America. It's a problem with every single individual that's out there right now. All right. There's no one person that could come along and fix this problem. There's no hero in this story. You have to be the hero in this story. Your neighbor will see you start to get your shit together and start to hold a higher standard and start to see that you're proud to be an American and you're taking advantage of the

opportunity that's available in this country to you to actually improve. You're eating the right foods. You're getting smarter. You're working harder. You're in better shape. Okay? You're living at a higher standard. You're more fulfilled.

You're happier. You're more effective. When you start to do that, other people fucking notice. And one by one by motherfucking one, things start to change. Okay? So you have to really think about how bad you want this country to be great and how bad you want this mediocre bullshit to stop and how fast you want to get back to the America that I know and love,

which is an America that is inclusive, that is hardworking, that wins, that kicks the fuck out of everybody else in this whole motherfucking globe in terms of how good we had it here. That starts with us. It starts with your own fucking self. It starts with what you eat. It starts with what you consume. And it starts with how you live. And we have a whole lot of people in this country that don't want to address that issue. We have a whole bunch of people in this country that would rather post fucking memes and continue on with their bullshit life, living half-ass, eating half-ass, drinking alcohol six days a week, being exactly what the fuck they want you to be.

That's the problem in this country right now. There is no convenient answer. There is no quick answer. There is no way to turn around this fucking big ass ship that we're all on without doing a whole bunch of motherfucking work individually. So my challenge to you is to be better, is to do more, is to take your responsibility and your purpose in life seriously. I hear from people every motherfucking day that tell me, Andy, I don't know what my

purpose is. Andy, I don't know what my purpose is. Andy, I just don't know what my purpose is. Well, let me clue you into something here. We are living in a time where the entire country that we live in, which is the best country on the fucking planet, is under duress. We need examples. We need heroes in our communities. We need people to step up and be better. How is that not a purpose? How is living a life to your maximum potential, not a good enough purpose for you? Because when you become great, when you become better,

when you show people that things can be overcome, that shows other people that they can overcome things. And if you ask me, that's the most noble purpose one can have on this planet. And you guys talk about purpose. Are you, are you fucking serious right now? The world is starving for examples. The world is starving for leaders. Your community is starving for you to step up and become fucking great Because they're looking for an example to follow And we lack that right now Okay, so take it upon yourself to be a fucking leader Even if it's only you that follows you

Alright, so make that your purpose, make your purpose, the ability to maximize your own true potential, knowing that your community will rise with you, knowing that your neighborhood and your family and your friends will follow suit. That's purpose. That's noble. And if you can focus on that, we as a collective group of humans here in this country can improve the culture and reverse this mediocre garbage that we've been forced to swallow for the last 20 fucking years. So that's my message for you today. You have a tremendous amount of purpose. You have a tremendous amount of work to do. Don't tell me that you can't do anything. Don't tell me that it's out of your control is how you eat. What's in your control is what you put into your mind. What's in your control is the work that you do. Those are things that are in your control.

The example that you set for your fucking friends and your family, that's something you can control. And that matters. And it matters right now more than fucking anything. And we happen to be in a time in history right now where you can make a tremendous impact on the future trajectory of this country and of humanity simply by being excellent personally. So that's my challenge to you. And don't ask me what you can do anymore if you're not doing that. Because that's what matters. That's what's going to get shit turned around.

And those are the things and that's the commitment that we need from fucking everybody.
