Your brain is like a circuit switch
Once you believe you are something
You actually embody it, you embody that feeling
If you were God forbid in a coma
And you woke up and you didn't really have a memory
And you were told that you used to be a Navy Seal
And they want you back now when you're healthy
Do you think you'd act differently
And hold yourself differently
And conduct yourself different
And have a different self concept of who you are
Than if you were told that you were a piano instructor
Being succesful in life is all about having the proper belief system in who you are
Truly believing that you were something unique
That you were something special in that field
If you truly believe inside of you that you are one of the best actors in the world
You will be entirely different than if you're like 'I hope I'm good'
Your expressions will be totally different
Your tone of voice
You'll talk in a more convincing fashion
You'll use your natural voice instead of a scripted one
You'll be more emphatic
You'll be more real, more relatable
Our brain is like a circuit
And so if we introduce it with the proper wire
You're gonna go straight to your target
If you're unsure about who you are
Then, your dreams, your goals, they will never become a reality
Everyone has mental doubts in life, internal conflicts
Even the most succesful people that you look up to
But they don't live their
It's how you handle those negative thoughts in that exact moment
And overwhelm them with positive action
And that comes with this up most confidence in yourself
That you can handle this situation
Trust in yourself that you are better than the moment
The Greats think differently
The Greats see differently, right
The great have a different worldview
The great, they approach the game in a totally different way
So I need you to do me a huge favor
I need you to think about what you're thinking about when your effort is low
Because if you can get this, if you can get this, you can get any succes you want in life
You can have anything you want in life if you can get this
The next time you give a low effort, right
You give a 70 percent or 50 percent or 30 percent
I want you to think about what you're thinking about when you're effort is low
If your effort is low, you're probably not thinking about the opportunity
You're probably thinking about the obligation
And when you think about ET (Eric Thomas) how you do you stay pumped up?
ET how do you stay on fire?
ET how are you always driven?
Even in de missed out trials and tribulations
Even in the ... your haters
When people are trying to break you and tear you down
ET how do you stay strong?
I keep thinking about the opportunities
Every single day I'm thinking about the opportunities and I'm not looking at this thing as an obligation
I'm not looking at this thing as something that I have to do
Or that I'm forced to do, right
Or something that somebody's making me do
Every time I wake up I'm thinking: "I'm alive, baby, this is the day!"
This is an opportunity
If you want what you've never had before
If you wanna do what you've never done before
If you wanna be what you've never been before
Change your mentality!
And I want you to see that effort goes up when you look at it as:
"I got the opportunity of a lifetime!"
But you should be excited about the fact that you have an opportunity
