What's sleeping on the floor?
Now my jury box froze.
Fuck a pole, fuck a stole, counting millions in a cold.
Bad bitch, booted swow.
Got her on bank road.
Can't fold.
Just a no headshot case closed.
Close, close.
What is up guys?
It's Andy Purcell and this is the show for the realist.
Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society.
Welcome to motherfucking reality.
Guys, today I have a real talk.
I'm just gonna get right into it, okay?
Look, all of our lives from the time we're born, all of us, by the law of averages, are surrounded by average people, average thinkers, mediocrity, people who are just trying to get by. And we have these people all around us. They're always talking about things in the same way.
I've got to get it done so I can take it easy.
I've got to work hard till Friday so I can relax.
Don't go too hard.
Don't forget where you came from.
It's not that serious.
You need to take it easy.
These are the things that we grow up hearing.
We hear them from our parents.
We hear them from our teachers.
We hear from people that we look up to.
unfortunately. And here's the problem with this. All of those things, because we hear them over and over and
over again, become part of who we are and what we think and how we talk to ourselves. And I hear you
guys and I see you guys talking about all these different things that make winning hard. People don't
believe in me. People don't support me. Nobody wants me to win. People talk shit. All of these
things are irrelevant. The only thing that is keeping you from where you want to go and who you
want to become is your ability to recognize that you are your own biggest enemy. And the reason that
you're your own biggest enemy is because for years and years and years, you were filled with
mediocrity. You were filled with the vocabulary of people that lose. And your brain now
talks to you in that same way. You worked pretty hard today. You deserve a break. You know what?
You did good on your diet for three days. Cheat meal's not going to hurt you that bad.
You know what? I'll start tomorrow. We'll start next week. We'll start on Monday. After the
holiday, after that wedding, after that vacation, I'm going to get my shit together. And then when
things are going good. You're working too hard. Don't forget to smell the roses. Don't forget who
you are. That's an interesting statement, isn't it? Don't forget who you are. Who are you?
What is that insinuate? What it insinuates is that you are an average motherfucker.
You're doing good. Don't forget where you came from. What's that you're
the fuck does that even mean? What does that even mean? Does that mean that you are supposed to be
average? You are supposed to be like everybody else. Don't forget where you came from. Isn't that
the whole fucking reason you're doing all of this? Isn't that the reason you want to win? Isn't that the
reason you're sacrificing and investing all of this time, energy, blood, sweat, tears, frustration,
anger into creating this life that you desire so you can get the fuck away from who you are.
That's why you're doing this.
But we are filled everywhere we look with messages of average, messages of mediocre,
messages of taking it easy from people who have never, ever done a fucking thing in their
entire lives and I would suggest to all of you that if you don't want to turn out like them
you better become aware of their influence in your life because that little voice that you hear
that tells you oh you worked hard today you could skip your workout we'll do double tomorrow
that is your fucking enemy it's not the people talking shit it's not the the you know the people
from your hometown or the people on Instagram or who you went to high school with or
they don't believe in me no motherfucker you don't believe in you because you can't identify
that you are your own biggest hater you are the person that has the little voice on the
inside that says yeah you know what they're right I don't think I can do this yeah you know
what I do need a break yeah you know what I have been working pretty hard
and that's the voice that kills your whole fucking life and you're so unaware of it that you can
identify it you think it's coming from over here or over there when in reality it's coming from
deep inside of you because that's all you've ever fucking heard and if you want to change the
outcome of your life you're going to have to learn how to identify the voice inside of you
that keeps you from doing the things that you're trying to do.
All of us on the inside have two voices.
We have a bitch voice and then we have a boss voice.
The bitch voice is the voice that's been crafted and formed and created by our environment over time.
It is the voice that is listened to every critic, every naysayer, every bit of negativity and then remind you of it,
every time you are trying to do something outside of the realm of everybody else.
It'll be the first one to talk.
It's not your friends.
It's not your girlfriend.
It's not your boyfriend.
It's not your friend group that's talking shit.
It's fucking you.
And you are blaming on everybody else instead of controlling your internal dialogue and identifying the bitch voice
and looking at him straight in his fucking face and saying, you know what?
fuck you. I am going to do this work. I don't need a break. I am going to step the fuck up
and do what I need to do. And when you start to identify the bitch voice and then start to defy it
is when you start to make progress towards who you are actually meant to become. And the more
that you silence that voice through action, the more progress you will make. The stronger your boss voice
will become when you have a strong boss voice and you have a weak bitch voice the internal dialogue
sounds completely different it sounds more like this yeah they can't fucking do it but i can't
yep that guy settled but i'm not yeah i probably could take it easy but then i'm going to end up
just like that dude i don't want that so i'm going to go do the fucking work and the way that you make
this transition from a very loud bitch voice to quieting it to a very loud boss voice
that encourages you and pushes you and makes you better is through action you have to
understand that when your voice chimes up and starts talking you out of shit that is your
signal to act immediately the minute you hear your bitch voice chime in you need to get
up and do the exact opposite of what it's telling you to do.
If it's telling you to take a break, you go do double the work.
If it's telling you, ah, man, it's Sunday.
You don't need to do this.
You need to get the fuck up and do it.
Every time you hear it, you need to take action because action is the only thing
that will squash that voice permanently.
It is the only thing that will get you to where you're trying to go.
because you're not just fighting the outside elements.
You're not just fighting competition and the economy and the marketplace.
That shit's hard enough.
You're also fighting a lifetime of mediocre indoctrination that comes from every fucking place you've ever been in your life.
Nobody grows up around winners, 360 degrees.
It doesn't happen.
if you're lucky you might know one or two people who win big most people have never even met someone that is one big in life and because they've never even met someone they think it's impossible for them and it's not you just have to understand that just because everybody else has put limits on their life and everybody else has settled and everybody else has accepted their reaction.
for what they are given not for what they take doesn't mean that you can't have a completely
different life you have to understand that this is in your control all of the things that are
going to create your ultimate reality come from things that you can control and anybody who
tells you different has never done anything you can control what you eat you could control
you drink. You can control how you move your body. You can control who you associate with.
You can control the information you put in your brain. Those are the things that are going to get you
where you want to go. And nobody can fucking stop those things but you. So ultimately, what do you
have to do to succeed? Well, it's very simple. You have to stop listening to outside elements,
Stop surrounding yourself with outside elements that only think in mediocre terms that have long ago quit on what they could have become and who you hang out with just because you think you're supposed to or because you did at one point in your life.
There's not a motherfucker out here who wins big that surrounds himself with a bunch of mediocre people.
It doesn't fucking happen and it's not optional.
You have to cut it out and then after you cut it out, you have to then audit your internal dialogue to over time remove their influence from yourself, which means every time that voice comes in, every time that says, oh, I wonder what they're going to think, or hey, you know, you're not very humble anymore, or hey, remember where you came from, or hey, you know, and you think about the thing someone said to you seven years ago that pisses.
you off. All of those things have to become part of what drives you. They have to become something
that you silence through action. They have to become the switch that as soon as it's flipped,
you are moving towards where you want to be. And when you become the person who can take
the negative influence, the negative voice, the doubt, the frustration, the pain, the non-belief,
and you can turn that in to productive action.
There is nothing and nobody on the fucking planet
who could stop you from becoming who you want to become.
Everybody who says it's up to chance or circumstance has lost.
You never hear someone who's winning tell you,
oh, it was just I was in the right place at the right time.
Oh, you know, I don't know.
I just fell out of the fucking womb and I became rich.
Okay?
You don't have these situations for most people.
Most people who have ever become the kind of people that you want to become
have done the exact same way I'm telling you.
They take every fucking word.
They take every doubt.
They take every frustration, whether it comes from them on the outside or more than likely
you on the inside, they take that and they use it.
They move.
They act.
They fight.
they sweat they bleed at the thought of mediocrity and after a while you don't hear it anymore
you don't hear the bitch voice anymore the bitch voice goes away and you become that version of
yourself you've always wanted to become so if you're wondering why it's so hard to win if you're
wondering why you have such a problem with it it's not the circumstances it's not where you came
from it's not how you were born or what color you are or this or that or the other or somebody
else had it easier it's none of those things it's that you can't identify that you are taking direction
from a literal fucking loser that has been implanted in you from all the other losers that you've
been surrounded by your entire life and your job is to kill that version of yourself so that
only the strong one exists if you can do that
You can do anything
