REAL AF with Andy Frisella - 58. 1,000 Days

Episode Date: July 24, 2020

Society tells us that success is not for us. Unfortunately, most people listen, and at the end of their life when they are on their death bed, they have nothing but a list of regrets. On today's show, Andy shows you how you can avoid the trap of small-minded thinking, and spend the next 1,000 days grooming yourself for the success you have been dreaming.

I told my teacher, dumb bitch, I'm gonna get millions. In a project living, spoke it to existence. Mode changed to 50, got more cars than diddy. I only weigh 180, but my watch cost 250. What's up guys, it's Andy Purcella and this is the show for the realest. Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society and welcome to Motherfucking Reality. Today, we have a real talk episode.

It's gonna be short, it's gonna be sweet, it's gonna be to the point. Today, we have a real talk episode. It's going to be short. It's going to be sweet. It's going to be to the point. Let me ask you a question. I want you to be honest. I want you to think back. I want you to think back over the last 1,000 days that you've had on this earth. I want you to think back on those 1,000 days. I've had on this earth. I want you to think back on those 1,000 days. I want you to be honest. I want you to be real honest with yourself. I want you to ask yourself,

have you done what it is you needed to do over those last 1,000 days to produce the life that you want? Be honest. Not many people will be honest answering that question. The last 1,000 days, if you could look me in the eye and tell me that you've done every single thing you could possibly do and you're still not even close to where you want to be, you're not even on the track to where you want to be, you're a liar.

Right now, it's a real confusing time in America and across the world. Right now, we have the victim culture shoved down our throats everywhere. Everybody's a victim about everything. There's no denying that. Everybody wants something for nothing. Everybody wants to compete about how hard their life has been. They want to complain. They want to scream.

They want to shout about the disadvantages that they've had. They want to talk about their story and they want you to hear their story about how much harder it's been for them than it is for everybody else. That's what's popular. That's what is produced from a culture that rewards children, not for winning, but for participating. That's what happens when a culture tells people that everybody wins when they don't. That's what happens when we're inundated with advertisements of all different sorts from all different fields that convince us that we can have the life of our dreams in 21 days. We can lose 100 pounds in a month. We can become a millionaire from our basements in two weeks. But you can't.

And you know you can't. And most people are going to spend their entire lives wondering why their life looks nothing like they want it to look. When, if we took the last 1,000 days and we played that video up here on the screen in my room right now, and we were honest and we sat down and we looked at it and we said, okay, well, let's take inventory over what you did for the last 1000 days. I can promise you that the people who did execute and the people who have come to the plate and took big swings over and over and over again every single day, regardless of how they felt, regardless of what the circumstances are, regardless of how much they wanted to or didn't want to. They still showed up committed to taking those swings.

I promise you, if we watch that video, the results would tell the story. And where you are right now has nothing to do with your ability or your inability. It has nothing to do with what race you are. It has nothing to do with what gender you are. It has nothing to do with what sexual orientation you are. It has nothing to do with anything other than what you've chosen to spend your time doing these last 1,000 days. Now, I'm not saying that the 1,000 days will have you exactly where they want, because I can tell you for the last 1000 days I have executed. Am I where I want to be? No, I'm not. Am I tremendously further than I was a thousand days ago? Yes, I am. And so my point to you in all of this chaos that's going on in the world is to realize a couple things. One of them is this.

Time is still ticking. And eventually all this crazy shit that we're all dealing with right now is going to subside. It's going to go back to being a situation where you have to go out and make something of yourself. And when that time comes and when that time happens, are you going to just automatically switch it on? Do you think that that's going to be the time that you start?

Because I would argue that that's not true. That's going to be like every other time in the history of your life where you've waited. You've waited for circumstances to be right. You've waited until after that vacation, until after that wedding, until after that girl's night out, until after that guy's trip, until after that wedding or that birthday or that holiday or that happy hour to start getting your shit together. The reason you aren't where you want to be

and not even on the fucking track you want to be on has nothing to do with society looking at you and punishing you. See, we're under the impression now that society really cares about us and our hardships and our struggles. And let me tell you something. It doesn't. No matter what anybody says on TV, no matter what any politician says on TV, no matter what any celebrity says on TV, nobody gives a fuck about you. That's the truth. Now they might tell you a story to make you feel like you're at a disadvantage and make you feel like you can't build what you want to build. But why are they telling you that story? Have you ever thought about that? Why are they telling you that story?

Because I know why they're telling you that story. They're telling you that story because they can't be them without you being who the fuck you are right now. You have to stay at that level that you're at right now so that you can look up to them and they can be something. We're convinced and we're told and we're indoctrinated with the idea that only certain people get to build the lives they want. We're told that from the day that we are born through adulthood until we die, we're told success is for other people. Success breeds success. We're not told that we can be the person who becomes that. And that's why you don't believe it.

Sit back and evaluate why you believe the things you believe. And I want to bet if you're honest with yourself, the reason you have the beliefs that you have right now, I'm not talking about the shit you post on the Internet. I'm talking about the shit that you feel in your heart, the reason you feel those things and the reason you have these doubts is because the people who raised you, and I'm not just talking about your parents, but I could be talking about your parents, the culture that raised us told us that we would never be good enough. And so my purpose in bringing this simple concept to your attention of the last 1,000 days is for you to admit to yourself

the reason you're not seeing the progress you would like to see at the rate you would like to see it is because of the consistency or lack thereof of the last 1000 days of your life. Did you give everything that you could seven days a week? The answer is automatically no. I already know the answer. Did you give it five days a week? The answer is no. Did you give it two days a week? The answer is no. Did you give it two days a week? For most of you, the answer is still no. And you know I'm telling you the truth.

So when you sit there and you start buying in that you're some sort of victim, before you do so, I'd like you to take inventory of what your last 1,000 days look like. Because if you can look me in the eye, and you can say that you gave every fucking ounce of everything that you have for the last 1,000 days, and it still didn't get you closer to where you want to be, and it still didn't get you closer to where you want to be, and it still didn't get you on the right track, and it still hasn't immensely improved your life, I'm going to have no problem calling you a liar to your face.

The biggest person that holds you back from every fucking thing that you say you want is you. That's not some motivational rhetoric bullshit. It's practical fact. And we are being sold a bill of goods as a society that just isn't true. All of us have the opportunity to improve, to get better, to become something. There's evidence of this everywhere you look. Everywhere. You just haven't looked.

And the reason you haven't looked is because it's easier for you to believe that someone else has suppressed your entire life than it is for you to go out and execute for a thousand fucking days in a row. So my challenge is this before you talk about how unfair shit is, before you talk about how much you're fucked over, before you talk about how the man is sticking it to you. And I know what you're thinking. I know you hear me, a rich white dude talking about how hard a thousand days were. And you're saying, well, you don't know what my thousand days were like. You don't know how hard my thousand days were. And you know what? You could be right. Your thousand days could be a lot harder. That's the truth.

But I guarantee you one thing for sure. I could find a million motherfuckers that had harder thousand days than you and still got it done. Give me a thousand days. Give me a thousand days. I'll make a believer out of you. You'll make a believer out of you. You'll make a believer out of you. And that's the most important thing that you could ever do in your entire life.
