I had this idea dude I tell you I think
I can do this you know the problem was I
didn't have any evidence that I could do
it and so what I did at 25 years old is
I did two things that changed my life
number one I got my ethics in ethics
what was what was ethical to me not to
you not to somebody else but I had to
get my own moral code
you know I quit smoking weed quit
hanging around druggies quit doing
weekends like everybody else everybody
around me I looked around like all these
guys man are losing they're not doing
well they're not getting better they're
telling the same stories over and over I
gave up my weekends Fridays Saturdays
Sundays no
more but the problem is this sense of
impatience it's as if an entire
generation is standing at the foot of a
mountain they know exactly what they
want they can see the summit what they
can't see is the mountain this large
immovable
object cuz there's a lot of people out
there that are constantly trying to
improve
themselves by looking for the one
change the one change right the one
change in their life that's going to
make their dreams come
true and even worse on top of that
there's a lot of people out there a lot
of self help gurus and they're trying to
sell the one thing they're trying to
sell the nine steps or the enlightened
path that's going to allow you to unlock
all of your human potential and fulfill
the dreams so you can live the life that
you've you've always wanted to
live now I'm no
guru and I definitely don't claim to be
I'm just a
man but I will tell you this it isn't
one
thing and it isn't 10 things and it
isn't 100 things it isn't a quick path
and there are no
shortcuts meditation won't get you there
and neither will a miracle drug or an
organic supplement or some
superfood getting better isn't a hack or
a trick or a one change that you need to
make getting better is a
campaign it's a campaign it's a daily a
weekly it's an hourly
fight an incessant fight that doesn't
stop against weakness and against
Temptation and against laziness it's a
campaign of
discipline it's a campaign of hard work
and dedication it's waking up early and
going to bed late and grinding out every
second in between
every single
[Music]
day so you want to get
better you want to
self-improve stop looking for a
shortcut and go find your alarm clock
find your
discipline and find your guts and your
passion and your drive and find your
will and
then and then you will
find your
freedom I I think anybody who's watching
right now they may not be the most
talented entrepreneur or salesman or uh
you know an amazing uh craft of content
but if they outwork somebody that is a
variable that feels in control somebody
wants to start a YouTube show that they
do it 365 days a year versus somebody
that does it 137 7 days a year and
they're equally as talented the person
that does the 365 is going to win I mean
that's just truth and it's the only
practical advice that I think I can give
go get more talent I can't say that but
you know work harder and go to less
happy hours and don't watch you know
entire seasons of House of Cards that
feels
[Music]
real
people need to know you for one major
thing first he works he produces the
guy's there every day the guy's pushing
and shoving because the truth is no
matter how good your ideas are how good
your art is or how good your skill set
is if you're not working man if you're
not vibrating at a frequency that people
say my God how does that got do all that
if you're not vibrating at that rate 10x
levels Massive Action tremendous work
ethic that's just a muscle now and it's
it's just a discipline in your life and
it's a way look if you're not working at
that level you're not going to make
[Music]
it the problem is this entire generation
has an institutionalized sense of
impatience and do they have the patience
to go on the journey to maintain love to
feel fulfilled or do they just quit and
on to the next dumping onto the next
because everybody wants to come up with
excuses I spend my life reading excuses
on social media and my inbox I'm this I
wasn't born that way I wasn't born here
this I'm a female I'm an immigrant I'm a
minority I'm a transgender ex excuse
this Reality by the way I truly believe
those are disadvantages I'm not naive
the problem is nobody cares stop saying
any of those things every single person
who has ever done anything worthwhile or
exceptional or difficult or extraordin
AR anyone whether it's great artists or
authors or mathematicians or whatever
the it is everyone encounters
difficulties there is no easy Road it
does not exist it is impossible everyone
has issues if you have time to pursue a
hobby if you have time to do anything in
your life you can better yourself and
here's one way you never better yourself
when you come up with excuses for why
other people successful and you're not
that is dangerous when you give yourself
an escape trust me everybody has a hard
Road I wanted to jump out of window
several times during my young life I
wanted to jump in front of a train just
ended because too much
pressure we all go through hard times we
all go through depression we all do go
through doubt and then moments in your
life where it's really difficult and
you're trying to figure out what the
your path is going to be it's hard as
but that is what makes you a person and
those difficult moments are what build
your
character it's not about outdoing anyone
it's about how to outdo
yourself some people see the thing that
they want and some people see the thing
that prevents them from getting the
thing that they want want success is
your duty it is your obligation and your
responsibility take ownership of your
mistakes take ownership of your
shortfalls take ownership of your
problems and then take ownership of the
solutions that will get those problems
solved take
ownership of your mission take ownership
of your job of your your team of your
future and take ownership of your
life and
lead

your life lead them
