stop being you you let people stick a
finger in your face and tell you you
know good and when things got hard you
started looking for something to blame
like a big shadow the least we can do is
consider what we've done and
individually collectively do the best we
can to try and turn this thing around
I blame no one I look in the mirror on
the other side of it what an opportunity
we have because tomorrow's the first day
of the rest of our lives so what an
opportunity we have a huge part of the
reason that people fail is because they
don't ever setup the criteria for
success the world ain't all sunshine and
rainbows it's a very mean and nasty
place and I don't care how tough you are
it will beat you to your knees and keep
you there permanently if you let it
you me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as
life but it ain't about how hard you hit
it's about how hard you can get hit and
keep moving forward how much you can
take and keep moving forward every
failed experiment is one step closer to
success you've got to take risks
I found that nothing in life is
worthwhile unless you take risks you
will fail at some point in your life
accepting you will lose you will
embarrass yourself you will suck at
something but do you have the guts to
fail if you don't fail you're not even
trying
sometimes it's the best way to figure
out where you're going if I'm going to
fall I don't want to fall back on
anything
except my faith I want to fall forward I
figure at least this way I'll see what
I'm going to hit there is no passion to
be found playing small and settling for
a life that's less than the one you're
capable of living there's a certain
quality that all successful people
and have to have you have to believe
that something different than what has
happened for the last 50 million years
of history you have to believe it
something different happen the road to
success is through commitment and
through the strength to drive through
that commitment when it gets hard and it
is gonna get hard and you're gonna want
to quit sometimes but it'll be colored
by who you are and more who you want to
be since success is a very narrow line
and very unlikely the probability that
you're going to stumble on it randomly
is zero and so if there's a proposition
here in the proposition is if you
actually want something you can have it
[Music]
did you think I need to pack this in
yeah I don't ever give up I mean I'd
have to be dead or living in capacity
why do you care about somebody else's
opinion you told me you're in charge of
your own destiny
he said you're in competition with
yourself today that you give up on you
is a day that you gave up on your dream
so if you're in the business of giving
up on your dream then I don't want to be
in the business of being your friend I
think you're talented so why don't you
stay true to what you believe that you
can do and it was words like that that
really made me get that skin that thick
skin to deal with Hollywood and
rejection and when I heard no a thousand
times
it started to roll off my back and I got
that one yes I made the decision to
never hear no again so it's those
stories that really would help that
younger generation is coming up in that
business to say you know what I'm gonna
stay true to my dream because there is a
light at the end of the tunnel and I'm
you're a prime example of that like I'm
been in the business 19 20 years man in
that last five to six has been
successful
failure is wonderful you want to hit
homeruns you better be willing to strike
out a lot you better be willing to fall
down a lot but what are you doing when
you fall down you say see I told you I
was a failure or did you get up and say
well that didn't work
don't be that I'm always reminded of
Thomas Edison who was working on
inventing a storage battery some way to
store electricity
he knew kind of what it was and so on
but he just didn't know how to store it
in any way and he had tried 25,000
different combinations he still didn't
have a storage battery and one of the
reporters asked him he was like 77 years
old and they said mr. Edison how does it
feel someone as famous as you two to
have failed 25,000 times it must be
awful he said I don't even know what
you're talking about failure he said
today
I know 25 thousand ways not to make a
battery failure is only bad when you
equate it with yourself one when you say
because I fail at something that makes
me a failure as a person the healthiest
place you can get to is the place where
you're willing to try anything
healthy people will try virtually
anything and they're not afraid they
don't live by their customs they don't
live by their traditions and the rules
for me failure is something that you
should be afraid of it should be afraid
of but that's why you should go out
there and challenge yourself to fail
because if you're not failing that
something that means you've set your
goals to pass to succeed at everything
you do which means you're not setting
your goals high enough
so for me okay I'm gonna go out and
break the Guinness Book of World Record
for pull-ups lofty goal listen why I
felt it twice before I finally got it
knew I knew going into everything I've
ever done in my life maybe still
training three times before I got it in
everything I've ever done in my life
took me three times before I got it I
knew that there was a huge possibility
of failure but what I gained from
failure resist when you see a movie and
you watch a movie about a person who
keeps failing and at the end they
succeed how do you feel that you watched
it amazing huh yeah I become the movie I
want to feel how I feel watching someone
else in the movie when I watched Rocky
get his ass kicked and I watched all
these different things of failure I
wasn't gonna put myself in said God man
how much do you feel about that you
finally got there that's what failure
has done to me I watched so many things
that watched someone succeed at the end
of it it's like God I want to feel like
that but failure causes that one feeling
without that failure involved you don't
have that feeling if you just pass and
you succeed and you're great that
feeling yeah okay good
what takes you years months years to
accomplish because you just can't get
over the hump but you continue going
back to the drawing board you're looking
for those few seconds after you finally
figure out the equation whatever the
equation may be to get you to finally
pass to succeed I live for that feeling
but I can't get that feeling without
going through I felt this equation I
felt this but I felt this one I felt
this one I'm figuring it out so you
start to feel it before you even pass
before you even get to the success part
and then once you succeed the feeling is
unbelievable and you take that do enough
success do failure when you put it in
your cookie jar and you say I'll I'll
come back and get you again how I need
you again down the road in life to call
on you
[Music]
you know it's always a little bit
frustrating to me when people have a
negative relationship with failure
failure is a massive part of being able
to be successful you have to get
comfortable with failure yet you have to
actually seek failure failure is where
all of the lessons are you know when you
go to the gym and you work out you're
actually seeking failure you want to
take your muscles to the point where you
get to failure because that's where the
the adaptation is that's where growth is
successful people who fail a lot they
fail a whole lot more than they succeed
but they extract the lessons from the
failure and they use that energy and
they use the wisdom to come around to
the next phase of success you got to
take a shot you have to live at the edge
of your capabilities you gotta live
where you're almost certain you're gonna
fail that's the reason for our practice
practice is controlled failure you're
getting to your limit getting to your
limit getting to your limit you can't
lift that you can't do
until you get to the point that all of a
sudden your body makes the adjustment
and then
now if you know what you're worth that
go out and get what you're worth but you
gotta be willing to take the hits and
not pointing fingers saying you ain't
where you wanna be because of him or her
or anybody cowards do that and that
ain't you
you're better than that
what are you going to do with what you
have
