everybody wants to judge themselves to
the lens of a moment they want to be
cool right now today and they're asking
themselves
what's the least I need to do to feel
what's the least I need to do to be
successful
once I stopped asking that question and
I started thinking about really who I
could become and really harnessing human
ability to adapt what people need to
understand humans have become the apex
predator not by being strongest not even
by being the most intelligent but rather
by being the most adaptive to change and
when you realize all of us are born with
nothing no skills no knowledge nothing
rolando flesh that can hardly hold on
and we can take care of ourselves we
shit in our own pants and our job our
job isn't to be great today
our job is to build ourselves brick by
brick and that is what separates the
truly great from everyone
they're willing to put in that hard work
they're willing to reframe the question
from what's the least i can do to what's
the most i can bear and when you're
looking at yourself on that long time
when you're saying what can I
accomplished over the next
and years what is the amount of
suffering and back-breaking work that
i'm going to put in an indoor in order
to become something extraordinary
that's the key is you actually have to
perform it's not about convincing
someone else to you're looking good on
paper it's about actually delivering a
result is about actually becoming
capable of the extraordinary but you
have to understand the way the
mechanisms the very anatomy of the human
works and it works by building things up
brick by brick it works by starting out
terrible is something incapable of
something and being willing to put in
the work to find out to become that had
when people can move beyond
words when they can will be on that
bullshit right stuff people say they can
transcend that and see what it means
that actually
put in work to actually
something to really feel
everybody just wants to see the shit
come back to they want the fucking heavy
way to the ring they want the jewels
they want to riches they want the house
the cars uncle and
want to be great one look at yourself
and believe who you could come and even
more importantly if there's no one
around to look at there's no one around
to impress do I still push and adapt
when I'm still willing to push it and
now
that circumstance i still want to be
something and I still
Green the potential out of myself and I
want to actually
the potential I wanted actuated I want
to actually do something with it even
when nobody's watching
that'll be proud of myself then I know I
accomplished something because that's
real that's beyond the bullshit and
that's where people have to get if you
really want to do something
stop worrying about the echo and start
worrying about the shout believe in who
you can become tomorrow and let every
day until the day you drop be about
ringing that potential out of yourself
be about building something and becoming
something bridge
I branch putting in that day-to-day work
of building something of becoming
capable of something today that you
weren't capable of yesterday of asking
yourself how far you can go of becoming
obsessed with that process and no longer
thinking about the end
and when you understand the difference
between no longer focusing on being a
champion and instead of delivering a
championship performance everything
changed because it's the people who
build themselves into someone who can
give a championship performance that win
