There are going to be days where you do not feel like doing
anything.
Those days are going to be there no matter what path you take.
We have two voices in our mind.
There's that one voice it's that soft motherf*cker
that soft motherf*cking voice that says sleep the f*ck in.
It's okay.
You can take the day off.
Saying you don't need to go hard.
It's that coddling voice you wanna hugged and nurtured and all that
sh*t.
That voice that nagging voice of weakness
the one that tells you to back off
to simmer down to take it easy
when you hear that voice tell it no.
Tell it to sit down and be quiet.
Suppress that voice.
You got another voice in your head it's asking you a question
it's asking you, what could you be?
What could you be?
What could you be if you worked as hard as you could?
What could you be if you imposed real discipline
in your life?
What could you be?
Because that pain that you are feeling is the test.
This is a test.
This is the day I'm going to find out if my goals
really are my goals.
Michael Jordan, they call it the flu game he still scored more
than the average dude with the flu.
Even when you got the flu and you playing other champions
you still score more than they score because you've learned how to dominate.
And you need that same mentality.
I'm talking about looking yourself in the mirror
looking yourself in the eye and saying,
I'm going to dominate today better than any other day.
Learn how to get excited when that feeling creeps in
of I don't want to do it.
And when those test days become something that you live for
something you look forward to now you're talking about
a whole different level of mindset.
You're talking about an unstoppable force of nature
that cannot be f*cked with.
Mental toughness is the ability to resist
to manage overcome doubt
overcome worries overcome concerns
overcome circumstances that prevent most people from succeeding
or performing under pressure.
Every human being that is not successful
versus every human being that's successful the only difference between them
is mental toughness.
One group when they come up against trials and tribulations
they shrink.
One group of people when they come up against
a recession they shrink.
Weak-minded people they buckle
they complain they look for every excuse
but mentally tough people we saw the storm
and we pull out our surfboard and we begin to surf
on the waves that drown most people.
You have to understand that your greatest commodity
not your shoes not your car,
not your clothes it's your mind.
Your mind is the most important thing you have
and you got to control it.
I don't care what's happening you have to control it.
When you leave, what you fighting for?
What's your legacy?
What you gonna do?
You say you a champ but do you practice like a champ?
You say you a champ do you fight like a champ?
You say you a champ do you have the mentality of a champ?
Champions keep going when they don't have anything left in their
tank.
When they don't have no more.
When it's over when they're tired
when they're frustrated when they're ready to give up
when they've spent their last dime that's when they get started.
It's when you have nothing left it's when you depleted all your money
when all your energy gone that's when it's showtime.
When you find a way out of no way when you find breath that you don't have
when you find energy that did not exist
when you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe
that's when you find a way.
