People give themselves an excuse all the time when they say he's built different. Well, if you mean he gets up earlier, he stays later. He does stuff for others. He asks questions. He's humble. He works really hard when no one's around. Then, yeah, he's built different. You wake up earlier than people.

You stay later than people. You stay humble. You work harder than anyone, but no one's there. I guarantee someone that feels bad about themselves soon will label you as he's built different. He's built difference to be your label because people feel bad about themselves. You're setting the example every single

day of your life. If you're going to have a true don't mentality, you're going to wake up every day and grind. You don't want to go run? You go run. You don't want to go swim. You go swim. You don't want to study. You fucking study. That's how you start to call your mind. It's going to suck.

It's not going to be fun. Do something that sucks every single day of your life. That's how you grow. When something sucks, good. It's going to make me tougher. It's going to give me a good story to tell. So bring it. You're going to bring that savage mentality on yourself.

The animalistic, motherfucker. You think a savage gets a fuck about how he feels or how he feels? They just do it. Stop looking for a feeling to control what goes on in your life. Greatness is not something that you meet once. It's something that you meet thousands of fucking times in your life. And you don't reach it if you're not constantly in constant. fucking pursuit of greatness.

Some of you are not successful because you think effort is success. You think because you put it in 40 hours that you're supposed to get some because you put it in 40. It don't work like that in the school of hard knocks. They don't care how many hours you put. They just want to see the execution.

So you're feeling in your spirit like, yo, but I did just as much as he did. I studied just as much as he studied. It doesn't matter. You just got to execute. Lazy people. People do a little work and think they should be winning. But winners work as hard as possible and still worry if they're being lazy.

A true dog mentality is not enough you made to the NFL. Be the f*** an MVP. It's not enough you made a 5K. Win a 10K. It's not enough you became a doctor. Be a better doctor. It's not enough you lost 50 pounds. Go out there and do something with it.

And you've got to get to the point where no other the human wants it for you more than you want it for you. Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown? And why chase this thing called winning? Because the only thing that's guaranteed in life and you don't chase it is losing. The only one that can make it happen for you is you. It's you against you out there. You have to think I am the best guy out there.

You want to be uncommon amongst uncommon people. You've got to be the one to get up every morning, be disciplined, put in the consistent daily hard work because that gains success. It's always you versus you. Worry about yourself, what about what you're doing, and worry about where you're going, and only will you're going to be your best self.

You're going to do whatever it takes. Do you hear me? You're going to go your own way. You're going to do what they won't do. You're going to be smart, and you are going to win. You're after the peace and the happiness and the pride that comes with knowing exactly what the fuck you're made of. A true hunter's goal is not the prize.

A true hunter's goal is to hunt. That's what they live for. They live to hunt. They don't just live to catch it. It's the whole process. When nobody knows what you're doing, when you're putting in those extra reps, it's the process that makes you sweet. I'm telling you that you got to be possessed with the vision. I don't care about when. I just want to keep coming after you.

You're going to knock down whatever that rock is that's been between you and your dream. You're going to keep after. You're going to be relentless. You're not going to give in. You're going to be the person who stays excited until the entire job gets done, until that dream is real. and you know long term all these other people, they're going to flinch, they're going to get weak, and you won't. In all times, you want to quit, because we're all human here. You make sure you're never one thing. All times, hours, and days, you sacrifice to be the best.
