a lot of you are trying to find
inspiration and motivation with a
depressed mindset you're depressed
because we're not doing with yourself
you'll find inspiration by not living in
a grip of life do you live in the grip
of life to find inspiration put
challenges in front of yourself when you
put your challenge in front of yourself
and you attack it that's when you find
inspiration try to be 10% better than
you were last week so if you wanted 30
miles a week 133 if you're swimming 500
meters 25 50 and some of you aren't
doing your 10% just getting off the
couch the more you walk away from
accountability the we can you become
find yourself in the grip of life you
can't find yourself by doing nothing let
me see if I can fix myself so I said and
I can just walk one more mile after
being the worst sake my entire life
this was changing everything for me
mentally going forward from this kid who
came from dirt nothing who couldn't read
until using the junior in high school
and it's now here I went I walked a mile
I said hmm me better got one more mile
maybe I can walk another mile at my
anyone next I'm going to me said she's
not gonna make the time when your mind
knows it's not going to quit and this is
where I found out this is my 40 percent
rule when your mind knows it's not going
to quit your body will adapt to it
Edward is in front of it
I end up running 20 more miles 100 miles
in 19 hours and six minutes and that one
day change that one 19 hours and wasn't
sua turn it wasn't Ranger school wasn't
dumpin for putting that crap
it was just 19 hours and six minutes
that forever changed my life to know
that we as human beings are capable of
anything and we don't need any special
kind of parents or tools to get there so
intimate this don't stop on your tire
stop you're done
[Music]
yeah what
here it again
carry the boats in the lawns that's you
buddy
come on 23 come on 24 one more Dan who's
one more to carry the boats you're gonna
do it you're gonna do it you're gonna do
it you did it yeah one can change my
life my grandfather he told me you're
gonna know where in your life not being
anything as bad as that hurt me it got
me to pull ahead on my ass
so let's take hard not thick-skinned and
do what's right
what you need is the one thing I talked
on my book was just straight-up brutal
work ethic you had to be willing to
outwork everybody in the world and that
that that's the hard part that's the
hard part this isn't like some five-step
process where you can do these five
steps you're gonna end up with this
magical world now I'm basically teaching
you how to callus over your victims
mentality this is all toxic routine mind
so what's the quitting mind
so let's say it's day one of a job
interview you have your clothes laid out
you've been preparing for weeks and
weeks and weeks you show up and you
bring your best self that's a couple of
months these are showing up to work a
little later you don't look as good your
breakfast isn't ready
your lies getting softer repetition
every day stay hard
[Music]
most important conversation is the one
you have with yourself you wake up with
it you walk around with it you go to bed
with it eventually you act on it you
live in the world now that's so kind we
we find the kind way around everything
like if you don't look good I had to
find a kind way of saying I don't like
your shirt right that's not the approach
if that's the approach you're looking
for that book is not for you you can't
hurt me is not for you the approach you
have to take at least I took you take we
don't approach you one the conversation
had to be a real honest conversation in
the accountability mirror that's what I
was fat don't find a kind word to say
that you know what I've gained some
weight no you're fat when I couldn't
read not what I can't you know even
learn disability no I cannot read the
fourth grade reading level I'm
struggling and sometimes I call myself
stupid not in a way to put myself down
sometimes you act on it good sometimes
bad you got to change the internal
dialogue that person in your head that's
talking that to you until you change the
internal dialogue in your head until you
callus over the victims mentality that
the world is out to get you because of
you are the only you got change - I once
had that mentality that no one
understands what I'm going through and
if you keep that mentality you're gonna
stay in the same exact spot that you're
in that no one understands me there's a
whole there's millions of people why do
you think a book that I saw published
you know it's doing so well with your
story that's so feel like I'll never
give up I went to a publishing house
like who's gonna resonate with this
story no one's gonna buy this book
I'm like are you not in the world are
you not in society you're never alone
everybody's going to [ __ ] so when people
get this mentality of like you
understand me you can throw a lock to
someone that can understand you if
they're willing to break themselves down
and stop hiding a lot of people
understand you but you got to stop
hiding that's why I tell people a lot of
people are going through that is hide
better than you did that's all they did
it was hiding better
[Music]
don't find words to make yourself feel
better because that's what
so we hang around people that make us
feel better that tell us what we want to
hear not what we need to hear and so we
stay away from those people and we stay
with those people like our internal
dialogue becomes that kind it's ok it's
not ok so that's where it starts it
starts with that accountability of it's
not okay anymore this can no longer be
okay and calling yourself out for
exactly what you are in exactly how you
need to fix it a lot of us give total
control to life we don't have any
control of it we just give all control
life I'll do this [ __ ] every morning to
prepare my mind for what life's gonna
throw at me
a healthy body gives you a healthy mind
that's what it's about so if you go into
battle you're gonna go in about the
right mindset the right gear and combat
you wear body armor but what we do wrong
it's really strengthen our minds you
guys straighten your mind take control
of that most of us live our entire lives
avoiding failure it's funny I walk
around people come to me they say man do
that maybe soon you would do
Ranger school you are you know Air Force
dagby you know you up did the toilet
record you run all these ultra races all
this man that's funny thing about it
then I think about is this they know
that part of me this depart I don't know
about myself I felt the ASVAB test and
getting military three times in the Air
Force so that pararescue and the seals
doing three times they get through Navy
SEAL training
the toilet record to be three times this
is what I know about me so I'm saying
exist you can't leave your life being
afraid to fail all those failures
maybe the success in today stay hard
stay in the final as you know I'm a
serious introvert and very afraid of
people I got just so much growing up
that this is uncomfortable for me
all these podcasts me that's why I post
once a week but the one thing I realized
why I wrote the book is honestly I have
a story to tell as we all have a story
to tell
and what I realized on my journey was a
lot of us don't believe that we can
achieve the impossible
along my journey after I realized that
man I gotta tell some people about this
man like I discover something that some
people have but they don't even know all
of us have it but along this way I
wasn't like I said I wasn't a theorist I
became a practitioner and I was like my
god I'm busting down so many barriers of
like I've learned this ability okay but
I'm catching up with everybody I I
figured that out I figured out all these
negative things in my life that were
keeping me in this hole like I gotta
tell people man that hang on a second
man you can achieve the absolute
impossible
