How much time you really waste? For real. How much time do you have left? When you start thinking about that, we don't know. Right now, we have the most valuable acid on earth on our side. Time, but it's running out. And to make that first step towards greatness is the hardest step. And you're going to have to fight and fight and fight and fight and fight.

And most of you won't be successful, not because you can't do it. But you can't outlast your old you long enough to get to your new you. Because let's face it, when the alarm goes off, you got your head on that soft pillow. It's all nice and cozy and warm in there. You do not feel like getting up. You should not. That snooze alarm is the dream killer. When you press that snooze button, you're killing your dreams.

Every single day when you wake up, you got two options. You can look at the clock and hit the snooze. You can look at that snooze button, boom. You can hit the snooze button and go back to bed and dream about what you want to have. Or you can look at that sneeze button, kick that clock and get up and go pursue your dreams. It's so easy. So easy to put things off. So easy to say you're going to do it tomorrow.

Well, I want you to reprogram your brain and tell yourself that tomorrow is not a viable option. Tomorrow doesn't work. You do it today. You get it done today. That's what you do. If you can get through to doing things that you hate to do, on the other side is greatness. No more. Excuses.

No more. Hesitation. No more procrastination. No more negotiation. No more. Go on the attack. You don't stop until it's done. Don't expect front row seats if you're giving those to the effort.

Everybody want to win. Everybody want to be on the winning team. Everybody want to win, but everybody don't want to work. Everybody wants a reward, but everybody don't have to want to work. We all got to work. I gotta show up and show up 120. Every time where much is given, much is required, but you're gonna get the rewards.

Rewards come after you work, not before. The only place where success comes before work is in a dictionary. We're not gonna wait, we gonna do work. We gonna put in work. Because every time you put in work, you get the same consequences. You get paid, you get rewarded.

Discipline is you do it so long, so hard, and you're so passionate about it, that even when you don't, don't feel like it you still operated the highest level. Beast mode is I will not stop one other stop. I will not quit when it gets hard. I will not complain. I will not worry.

I will not fret. I will find a way when there is no way. I will make a door when there is no door. I will create a window when there is no window. I will create finance when there is no finance. I will find an opportunity when it doesn't exist. I will not be defeated because I know what my desires are. I know what I deserve.

The reason why you stop and you start, and you stop and you start, is because the goal is not meaningful enough. You don't have enough skin it is. You don't have nothing to lose if you don't do it. What I'm telling you is you got to create the type of scenario that if it doesn't work, you lose everything. And because you cannot lose everything, you've got to make it happen. If you just decide, I'm going to keep my word, if I say something, I'm going to do it regardless.

Being more considerate, more trusting, more discipline. more discipline. You owe it to yourself to give it your best effort. If you get in the habit of being mediocre or doing just enough to get by, you're not hurting anybody but you. You're cheating you. If you follow it through, if you keep your commitment to the commitment, you feel strong and powerful. That kind of commitment, that kind of spirit, that kind of personal power, that kind of vision is in you. Decide to be better, decide to get better, decide to get after it. Thank you.
