We become what we think about
focus on what you want
Rather than focusing on what you don't want. So who do you want to be?
You know, why? Why did why are you here on this planet?
You live according to the principles of love compassion, you know appreciative joy, you know celebrating other people's
Successes, but how do you overcome hatred and
Confusion and just having a good heart
Then I think that's what happened to me
Then I start to get clear about what I like to do and how I can be of service
How can I help other people?
That we were wired for success, but it's how we relate to our experience that determines whether
We're chipping away or we're you know, kind of burying of that sense of wholeness
That we that were born with it just that we
Forget it. We don't look inside. We're looking outside
And so unless we're still and we think about it and we understand that I was born with this masterpieces
No one can give it to me or take it away. It's it's an inside job
And so if I look at what's right, it just it makes makes a lot of sense
so it's whether you're coming from a place of
Scarcity or I would say survival mode or coming from growth mode which has to do with yes
I can't yes to life and I I have the capacity and the
responsibility to
Make it different but to make it make it better
Having that faith that vulnerability that just see things that are hard to see
Gotta get comfortable being uncomfortable
So can you handle the truth?
It's a question
and if you can't
then you if you see that that you can say well is if I'm going to change I'm gonna have to figure out how to
deal with that discomfort
until the point that I can see what I need to see then I can change it so as the persistence of
Continuing to do something that you can do it is
Is most of the work this is just continuing to make mistakes learn from mistakes, but the mistakes are viewed as feedback
Not as I'm a failure, it's just an event now who we are
So that error correction is really important and when you can see when you attributed this something you can learn
Or change now you've got faith and confidence to do it
Versus if you're seeing it like, oh, I'm just not strong enough. I'm not tall enough and all of that. That's just
That's what I call the negative committee telling you. You can't do anything rather than saying well, let me see
What can I what I can do so it's like a child learn how to walk right? Same thing
Your life can change your life can be more than just a place it can be your future your success
This change this change takes courage
It takes courage to stand up and break down the aspects of your life that you know is holding you back
Let your progress be idolized let it speak for itself
Average becomes sort of like this slow asphyxiation
It's almost like an anesthetic and that overtime would become kind of immune and dulled to the average that we're becoming
I know this is true. At least for me. You probably experienced it yourself, too
And so over time we sort of minimize where we're at in other words
I'm a little pudgy instead of being know your fat ass, right, you know
You don't magnify the degree to which the pain ought to be affecting you and so really what he means on
That is listen, you're gonna get out of your life what you'll accept that's really difficult for people
I think to understand is look what you think you're worth and what you're gonna tolerate is
absolutely what you're gonna bring into your life and what the outward part of your life is gonna look like and so I
live by that like I let myself sort of feel the pain and the difficulty of
Being not where I want to be in whatever that areas were those would be my spirituality my relationships my money
I let myself feel that pain because as you know, there's two motivators, right?
There's the gaining of pleasure right wanting to go get something chasing the dream
But then there's the avoidance of pain and for a lot of champions. That's a pretty big driving force for them
And so at least for me, I I leveraged both of those things on me to get myself to take action
one of the reasons I'm relatively fit is not just
Peak State. I have an uncle and my family that died at 50 years old of a heart attacks my godfather
My dad's only brother. I kind of resemble him and I look like a plan
So on the way back from his funeral my reticular activating art attacks on the TV screen on the airplane
I listen to music is the Oprah Winfrey Show. She's going through a new heart scan
I've unplugged my headphones plug into this airplane one. I scheduled it
I went in I had a world-class doctor who understood reasons and levers instead of just prescribing coolant. Only coach
Well you need to do this you need to do this like doctors do it take his pill take this he understood leverage and reasons
What you do is to take the scan, then you go to lunch you come back. I took the scan
I went those
I had a burrito I
came back, and I'm in the LA when I walk in I sit down the doctor comes up and he says
Oh my I can't believe these arteries are in that young body
Got my attention we walk back in we sit down
He could still go you need
Crestor eat clean get out of here is know what an average doctor does right No wired me with huge reasons
He goes, let me ask you a question
I heard your wife's pregnant you have I said
I have a son and he says do you want to be there when he graduates from high school?
To be there for that day. I said, yes, sir. Yeah, he goes your wife's pregnant. What do you have it?
I said a daughter. This is where you get a dad. He goes she was six months pregnant
He goes do you um, would you like to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day?
Are you okay that it's some other man?
I
Went what the
Zahn this skin right like and he goes I want to be very clear with you if you keep going down the road you're going
There'll be some other man with your son at graduation high school and a strangers walking your daughter down the aisle
that's not even born yet on her wedding day and I went to him and he goes
But if you do exactly what I tell you to do you'll be there
And so to this day brother, there are mornings when I wake up not every morning. I don't want to go to the gym
I go Bella's wedding
Bella's wedding
Bella's wedding so my
Standards are high because of my big old reasons
Other dudes may miss the gym that day cuz they're not gonna miss their daughter's wedding if they don't go, but I've convinced myself
I will get emotional
I've convinced myself on this my daughter's wedding
so I will get my ass out of bed at 4 o'clock in the morning and I will get to that gym because my
Reasons are bigger. So my standards are higher. So that's what I think
Causes us to have great standards as huge reasons
When you're inspired by something or someone in your life
You feel the magic?
Now's the time to be the magic
What are you going to do?
Are you going to let the Masters inspire you to feel it?
Or are you going to strive to be a master?
It's your choice the magic is waiting not only for you just a feeling but so be it
Nobody can take this away
In your life you can't escape
Anything that goes along with life, you know, we are not immune to problems
drama trauma the tragedy, you know we all
Here as human beings so, you know when you're going through some sort of difficulties, you know
First fighting or whatever that difficulty may be, you know
You know we do with within your power in terms of how to start slowly, you know, get yourself out of that situation
and you believe you'd be optimistic about you know being
negative about a situation stand in that place it never helps, you know, it's nothing wrong with
Understanding that place feeling bad about it looking at it for what it is, but don't stay there
you've got to get back on that other side and start looking at the
resolved
resolution of how can I get back to feeling good and feeling
Prosperous again to where I'm not dealing with this obstacle
Words are very powerful
Very powerful. So the thing is about getting within yourself and understand who you are to kind of you know
What off those negative comments that's coming towards my virtually always prepared
you know, you have to go for those things in order to see it in light of the
Light at the end of the tunnel, you know
I don't think anything is going to just be like this throughout your life and then you have to go through that difficult overcome obstacle
Because it's a testament of your character of who you are in high gear to deal with certain things
You know to get yourself back on it playing field
Everything happened for a reason no regrets all the negative things that happened
I'm thankful for it because I learned hopefully I learned from those situations and all the positive things. I'm humbly
grateful that those was able to take place and
Still striving to be the best I can be and you know going forward people didn't care at some kid to be the best
They could be
You know anything is possible positive thinking is also translating them, you know, so
When you have something that's
Positive up there you can be you know the best you can be
You know any negative out there and you could bring down the worst person
Misery loves company
Misery loves company. So we are not debbie down as we more uplifters
You know, we always no matter what the situation with the situation is. We're gonna try to look for the outcome the better of that
situation, you know
If we can't find a resolution to get out of it, you know
We're gonna keep on searching the continue to try to find a resolution to get out of because that's what you do
You know, that's how you get to the bottom of that's how you get to the facts of Nass
Are you willing to breath are you willing to be the warrior?
Bring your shield bring your sword stand up and fight
Today will be the day where you can take control take control of your power
Become this power because now is the time to fight you're a warrior
Warriors don't give up and they don't back down
Become the warrior
Transform your life transform yourself head out into battle step on to the battlefield
Use your weapons to fight through this pain fight through the rejection
learn from the bruises the blood scars because this time you can rise to become the
Step on to the Plainfield because now is the time to change
Now is the time to rise with the crown on your head?
You know you want to be a little bit better in some way tomorrow than you are today
But it's not gonna be in a linear path again these go through cycles of stress and recovery
So it's just kind of being able to surf the flow of that and know
Again, it really comes down to balance
so it's the
Practices that you need to know what to do for sure and then you need to know how to apply those things in
the right way, so
When you when to push and when to take the pressure off the gas as well
And I think that's really understanding that
So part of it is the knowledge and then part of it is the follow-through and then part of it is the discipline to know
not only when you need to go, but when you need to rest, I
Think it's important to really trust that what you're doing is going to work
What's a day that makes life awesome and and makes you again a little bit better tomorrow from having done it today
You have to really do the work like you have to back it with hard work
You know any of you ask Conor McGregor like what's the secret to his success hard work hard work hard work
I don't know if he actually worked harder than anybody but he believes he does, you know
he has no doubts in his mind that he's actually working harder and and that's I think important so
Really making sure that you really do your best to get the goods, you know
And to in to practice that and go out there and put yourself out there and then on the other side
What is the thing? What is the antagonist of belief? Well, the antagonist of belief is fear, you know fear is a
Belief that something negative is going to happen rather than something positive is going to happen
So it's like that's on the other side. You're almost believing in your failure right rather than believing in your success
so you have to go attack and collapse these different fears and part of that is going to be sucking out the
The penalty if if you fail right because like a lot of the fear comes because we're afraid that we're gonna judge ourselves
Harshly or whatever so you got to realize like there is no such thing as failure. There's just learning right?
So you collapse the penalty for failure so that collapses the fear which allows you to believe even more
So that's one way to do it
And the other way is to just look at fear itself and play out the different scenarios know that you're gonna be fine
again
Forgive yourself always and and really also just attack fear wherever you see it
Even when it's trivial even when it's some kind of we were just before the before we got on here
We talked about the fear of the number 13 true God trick a phobia
Like if you're afraid of 13, you know what you need to do. You put 13s all of you in house you
Know you need to like sit in Thirteen's you need to go to the 13th demand to be on the 13th floor of every hotel
in every airplane because you got to get over that shit because that is telling
yourself that there's something
Irrational that should control you and if you believe there's something that's irrational that should control you that will apply
Universally, so wherever you find fear specifically that's out of balance with actual danger
Like I'm not saying touch a hot stove or put your hand in a rattlesnake cage like there's danger there. That's not fear, but 13
No danger, you know that's not real
so go collapse that the fear of crickets like I have a fear of like whatever it is collapse fear wherever you see it and
That specific collapse will help with the universal collapses
You just got to understand the only thing that you're responsible for is your best
But he can't do better than your best. You just do your best and if you try to obsess too much
You're not doing your best. You're gonna be paralyzed, right?
So you have to get as much information as you can make the most educated choice
make sure that you're not choosing based on ego or emotion or you know greed or
These other forces that delude you and prevent you from thinking clearly
But if you do your best and you fail like what do you do beat yourself up for that?
Like that doesn't make any sense if you're doing your best if you're really laying it out there
There's nothing nothing more you can do and and that's I think that that's really the key is just to constantly
Rest and rely on that fact that I'm just I'm doing my best and there's nothing nothing more than that
You know, you have to really appreciate where you are in the journey and say yeah where you are is awesome
But you could be better cuz that's the the process is becoming better, right?
so it's not it's not judging it externally by any other criteria because every step is good, but the
process of striving for more in a process to really
unfailing who you are to an even greater degree to getting
Cleaner and clearer and more full and more robust and the best version of yourself like that process is a beautiful process
I think it's one of the reasons why we're here it feels the best
It feels the best to be continuing on the path
But that doesn't mean that you look forward to a point in the past say when I get there
I'll love myself when I get there. I'll I made it like love yourself where you are wherever you are. That's awesome
Let's still strive for more because the striving is the journey. It's always the striving
If we were able to do like even a fraction of the things we know we should we would all be badasses, you know
But there's so many things you talk to me. Yeah, I should be doing that
Yeah, I should be doing I know I should be I should be meditating
Yeah, I know I should be doing this. I should be eating better
I should be doing this and we all know what we want to do to be the best version of ourselves
But for whatever reason we don't do it, you know, and there's a lot of reasons why but we're not doing it
and so the ability to choose and
Actually decide what you're going to do to be the not well to be the art and say oh
well, if I believe I should meditate then I'll meditate and just
Collapsing that I know I should with actually doing it. You know, that is a superpower. That's what defines the
greatest
Performers from the people who haven't quite made it yet. It's really their ability to say
Oh if I should train now, I will know if I should eat like this
I will oh if I should do this, okay
Then I will it's collapsing that
Knowing what knowing what you should do and actually doing and making that one and that's ultimately a choice
We have way more power than we recognize and what people will tell us that we have so
Stepping into that power and deciding for ourselves
What we want to do with it
What time is it right now look at it face it stand up to it what do you see
What did that number say to you? How much of this number have you wasted wasted on waiting?
Waiting for what?
What is it that you're waiting for? How much do you want ask yourself this what's more valuable?
Waiting or your time your power and your action
This is where your journey starts
This is where you grow grow adapt improve to become the person you admire
This is you. This can be you
Stop failing to respond to react
This is how you shape your life
how you
Construct your future make this what it is your success
All this work now are the steps before you break the ribbon at the finish
This is your opportunity to change change towards a better life towards a life where you are the director
where you are the power the power that drives you forward to success the power that defines your life now that
Defines your legacy your future. This is the time to become something more than or do
something outside the realm of
Expected because you're more than you always have been but in order for you to become
This you need to work. You need to want it so much. It pushes you it pushes you outside your comfort zone
This is where it starts
This is where you become something something better than now where you build a life with?
Yourself one where you hold the reins where you make the final cut where you have that power
You deserve this you deserve to feel fulfilled
Proud and excited for this newfound success. You will and can embody your
Future your legacy your life can transform into the paradise. You've always imagined it could be
Your life can change your life can be more than just a place. It can be your future your success
This change this change takes courage
It takes courage to stand up and break down the aspects of your life that you know is holding you back
Let your progress be idolized let it speak for itself
Let it leave a mark so deep it can never be erased
This den can have such a positive influence on your life that it can transform your future
Transform your life using the potential, you know, you've always had
Make your life worth remembering make it worth the pain it took the hours
It used the effort put in
Know to take pride in your work know that your life can break all
Possibilities break all boundaries and become something beyond any
Expectations human letdown you face rejection and you failed
fortunately when you hit that point
The only place to go is up. I
Want you to imagine that your life is a tree
The failure that you've just faced is actually a seed and it's a seed that's gonna grow your potential
The light you need is your mindset and the water is your strength
because the rejection you feel right now is sprouting your success and in order for you to grow you need to feel the pain the
pain of the struggle is more than just some dark place you go to it's actually a starting place a
Place to begin trying and a place you start to improve and that improvement can be the start of the making of your success
Look at me you're not five feet under you're five feet higher than any position. You've ever been it
Man, stop bringing yourself down start learning that you are more than just your mistakes
In fact, they make you they make you grow and they make you branch out into a stronger and more courageous person
Give yourself the space to grow
Give yourself the space to grow into a better in a more successful person to see your potential is sprouting
You've got a better foundation now because those roots are dug deep into the ground and if something breaks you down
Know that you can grow further past the point you were at before
Because this tree can only grow taller bigger and stronger because you are stronger now
So you've got to know that this isn't a setback. This is just another ingredient that you need for the success that's coming your way
It really is stop making excuses take control of your situation and rise to your potential
Man, I don't think that we would be here if we didn't have a purpose I can tell you that
It's our job to develop that purposes. I've dealt with find and
Hone in and craft that purpose and the purpose is usually crafted through some level of suffering
It's the hero's journey, right like in film
you know the hero he's down and out and
he loses the girl in the in the house and
He goes on this journey and he finds strength and wisdom and knowledge and comes back and is now the hero
We have to go through that level of suffering
There's this hunger that everyone has
And it's always
Neutered my family my teachers my culture and
I believe you wouldn't be put on this planet
if you didn't have this hunger and if you explore this hunger and for me it was
Done being a fat kid than being a being a foreigner and then a fat kid and then fixing my problems
And then realizing I have the solution to other peoples weight-loss problems for someone else. It might be a financial thing
You know, they fix their financial problems and they realize they can help everyone else's financial problems, but you have to go through the suffering
You have to be hungry enough to deal with the pain and come out the other side
With some scars because scar tissue is infinitely more
resilient than regular tissue
But again goes back to most people feel like yeah, I think there's something great in me, but I don't want to explore it
I want to play it safe. I'm gonna stay bubble wraps. I don't want to risk it
But we wouldn't be put on this planet if we didn't have this greater thing to accomplish now
Some of us are going to be Elon Musk and were going to shoot a Tesla to the Mars
Right, and that's okay and others are gonna create a fitness franchise or a or a supplement company that actually delivers, you know
Great nutrients that help people in eyes their performance
Whatever your purpose is you've got to develop it you got to develop it
But you wouldn't be put on this planet if you didn't have it. I'm convinced of that
Not enough people are willing to build that mental emotional toughness and the moment they do they'll go perseverance
Nothing happens until you get done
Everyone's got a great idea. It'll make me this many millions and it'll help this many people nothing happens. So you get that done
Put yourself in a position where you're gonna thrive not where it's gonna be comfortable right get done
I
Believe we all are raised this fighter jets. Just we get neutered by parents by
Grandparents because of the filters they had and viewed life through the experiences
They had teachers who go you don't want to disappoint yourself. Just go to college go get a good job
Go to college don't go to college today. Don't go to college
it's the worst thing you can do and that's going to be a doctor or an attorney or accountant or
you know some kind of an architect don't go to college you can do a lot more in life with that go to college and
So again teachers professors will end up neutering us and when they take they take that fighter jet that hunger the claws and fangs
They've defamed us
Alright, so now we're crop dusters. I don't want to take too many risks
I just want to live a good life and they want to be average and mediocre. That's the crop duster
Yet everyone inside has this hunger see the fighter jet didn't go away. It's just been suppressed. You've been neutered and
That was me. Like hey, don't take big Ridge. Just go get a good job
Go be a smog technician like that was the advice
I was given gonna be a smog technician Society parents who ever have set the standard for you to not play it safe
It risks what if you lose what have you lose? You care? As long as you don't die, you can come right back and
so the fighter jet mentality, is that someone who is just
Determined relentlessly obsessed and achieving an outcome in the face of all adversity the crop duster
Is someone who's always looking for the easiest path to loophole?
Which what I used to be a severe crop duster the composter hits the snooze button every day because they'd rather take 10 more minutes
Of mediocre sleep than getting up and dominating their path every morning on my nightstand
there's two stacks of
dominoes lined up and
At the top of this stack says you're a loser the top of this one says you're a winner if I hit the snooze button
I've hit that first domino in the loser stack
The rest of my day is gonna suck now with that mentality am I gonna ever hit snooze again?
Absolutely not because I've sold myself on the idea that when I hit the snooze button, I'm an absolute loser
I'm scum of the earth. I am
My day is destined to be shitty. Now. Some people are you being off yourself?
More people should be hard on themselves we go around bubble wrapping ourselves, right?
We lead the training bills on for too long like be hard on yourself
Take up the bubble wrap off take the tikki training wheels out
No one did that for me man to be a fighter jet me a fighter jet go to battle every day take risks
That's what a fighter jet does a crop duster as a routine life and it's been boring
Every day is a new opportunity to change your life
Every day is a new opportunity to make your life a better place to live in
Your life is at stake
Think right now what you've done differently from the things you did yesterday
Perhaps you got up an hour earlier
Maybe you meditated or you went to the gym if you know that you haven't made any change today
Then make this your day take this
opportunity
Change you're better than you were yesterday
Because you know that today and the day after that you will make progress
You will know that you put in the work that you earned the improvement
You need to push yourself
So you feel the satisfaction that you've made further and further past your original routine
further and further past your failure
There is nothing else you can do, but work to work harder and harder
The struggle is the only way you know
You're going to succeed and take this new opportunity and make this change in your life. You will be better
Take this risk. Take this opening
this is the time to make your life a better place to make your future a place where you can see yourself achieve a
Future where your life is somewhere where you can create your own Empire
Know that not all of your successes has to be exposed or flaunted be humble
That's even more important than the progress you've made
Use your success for you and only you
use your success to boost your life into the next level use your success to make you grow into a more courageous and
stronger person
You are you for one reason to be yourself?
To use the potential you have as a person and make this your future
Use this as your first step into success change the way you view life
Switch your perspective of success and use it in the right place
Confident to stand up and take responsibility for your mistakes and courageous enough to make mistakes in the first place
educate yourself
Be this person become the person you've always wanted to be
You need to make this transition for your future to make your life better and bigger you
Will be who you need to be?
motivate yourself with that
the vision of your future the future of a successful life
What's the favorite lesson you've ever learned
What is your biggest achievement you've ever accomplished? And then what is your greatest success? I want you to think about it
Think about how you got there where you needed to be in order to get there in?
Order for you to make that kind of progress
What challenges did you have to pass? What limits did you have to crush? What hurdles that you have to overcome?
Now I want you to think about that satisfaction that overcame you when you accomplish these things
How did you feel and how do you need to feel right now?
Feel like you have the opportunity to repeat those actions that you once did because let me tell you right now you do
Make the progress now make your progress for the better for you to make more progress you
Have that potential now go ahead and spark your success and spark your inspiration
That inspiration it yields the progress that you need to make
Use the tools you have use your tools because no one can do it like you can all right use this
inspiration while you have the opening
Stop living in the past
Start thinking about your future the future where you can succeed
That future is actually happening around you right now
So take control of your future now by living in the present living for now because that at the end of the day
Is the only thing that mattered?
boost your life
Make your life and live your life
It's this time in history that most people are wasting on the wrong stuff
They're spending it on Netflix or fortnight or going out with their friends are drinking and if you want to do that
That's fine, you know enjoy your can mediocre ship life, but like there's so much more that you can do with weird knowledge and studying
You make a mistake it's a part of life
It's part of the journey, you know
You have to appreciate the lows you have to respect the lows
Celebrate the highs but respect the lows don't block them out and don't ignore them in order to be successful
I think this is the biggest thing you have to be so dedicated to your craft and so passionate about it
So single-minded focus on that, you know tasks and most people just don't take you that seriously
They're like, yeah. I want to be a millionaire
yeah, like well I meet people and they're like
Oh, you're that millionaire and it like a smile comes on their face like oh, how do I become a millionaire?
But they don't really believe it. They're not asking seriously, they don't
They're not willing to put in the thousands of hours requires. Like there's no magic formula
This isn't like get-rich-quick and those people who do get rich like the lotto winners like they're tough because they didn't earn it
They don't don't appreciate it. They don't understand it. I
Think that going through the ups and the downs is what makes you appreciate everything
You have to find meaning and for me and a lot of people like, you know, you're on this journey
Like I want to be successful. I want to be rich that's what I want
But what about when you get there, you don't have a plan for that
So now I'm trying to teach
You know all about charity and giving back in the lessons that I've learned now from being rich for several years
and it's not what you might think there's a lot of stuff that comes with being rich and you don't realize it and
You know, that's life
Because the world and even school teaches you teaches us in so many ways to
You know work on our weaknesses to get stronger and I think that's a huge flaw
I think we just get great at what we're good at
We only need to be good at one or two things and we can make an impact on the world
Everybody's in a vehicle
Like your wealth creation vehicle whether that's a job you don't like or a job you do like or business you started or business?
That's crushing or business. It's not doing great you have this vehicle and when this vehicle is not working
We're looking on the road of all the other shiny cars and it's like oh man. I tried selling stuff on Amazon
That's not working. I'm gonna go in the car business the real estate business
I'm gonna go in a speaking business the the nutrition business the suppli and you're looking for another car to jump in and
I realize people jump from car to car to car their whole life looking for
Satiation looking for satisfaction looking to make more money if you can stop jumping from vehicle to vehicle
The vehicle you're in might be the right vehicle, but you don't have the right habits or the right beliefs or the right rules
Whatever you want to call it. My books habit, so I call them habits
But it's really the foundation for success so you can overcome the obstacles
You don't like negative people in your life steer you in different directions. It doesn't you know
Even people who ask me about productivity people say, how do you get so much done?
How do you run a business and still coach the little league in baseball and saw how do you do all those things?
It's because of just simple success habits. Like I just wrote something on this recently
I said you have to treat your decisions for productivity like binary thinking which is X's and O's black and black or white
Yes, or no is this moving me toward a better version of myself a wealthier version a happier person or is it not?
We never give ourselves credit we'd never treat a friend the way we treat ourselves
It's like I know I've had days. I've gone till 10 o'clock at night go man
I got nothing done today the biggest lie like we beat ourselves up. We just were like these racehorses
We wouldn't even treat a racehorse that we owned as bad as we treat ourselves, right?
So I wake up and I'll do a quick little gratitude and they'll say what was one win yesterday that I accomplished
I'm like, wow, you didn't do that. Yes, and then I'll think of one win
I want to do that day like what I'm gonna need a million things done thing. What's a must today?
That would be a great win
I don't think we should drive for money
I think we should drive to be a better version of ourselves when money was no longer a worry for me
I drove into me and I have been ignoring and tucking down a lot of crap for a lot of years and
I was surface-level. I look like the guy that had it all going on, but businesses are doing good
I'm amazing children company thriving I live in the right neighborhood Drive. Do I have the right friends? I thinking looked great
but it was all masked and when money got out of the way I
was able to find digging to me and do my own personal development and my own personal growth and
Really find the things that I wanted to fix so I could become a better version
There might be something that makes you a lot of money but it robs your soul
So there's that balance and I think that doesn't happen
Oh that doesn't happen in your 20s and maybe not in your 30s at least been for me
I was just fighting to be successful in my 20s and 30s, but this face
I wish someone would have grabbed me at 25 and said
You're gonna make all the money you want. You'll have all the success you want
make sure your soul is aligned with that money and every time I don't know about you every time I align my
Values my soul my purpose whatever it is. You want to call it with?
My businesses and my profits they always soar without having to obsess on the you know on the numbers
Great people don't have anything magic. They worked relentlessly for years and years
They decided that they were going to be great
They decided that they didn't want to sit back and hide they decided that they wanted to shine. They
Decided that their name would be in lights and people would admire what they do. If not for you
Decide to be great for the world
Success never stops never stops to breathe never takes a day off never looks to take a break
We already have enough problems on this planet be different be a person who makes a difference
Be a person who makes a change for good be a person who has an impact on the world
You need to become someone and you need to become
your future
You're gonna handle your power and feel your potential
You gotta feel this pain to progress to change to feel fulfilled to feel satisfaction
This is where everything can and trust me it all will fall into place
Stop denying the world of your greatness you
Need to see every single day as a bank account
Nobody is poor. Nobody is rich
Everyone has 24 hours each and how you spend your balance each day will decide who you become
Now pay attention to every detail
Take every day
Like it's a brand new spankin opportunity take every risk as if it's a stepping stone into the future
you're carving out for yourself because you have control you have the control to change in the control to improve the action and
improvement
Spend your time wisely. Do not waste it on things out of your control if
The weather is bad
Do not waste time feeling down about it
If it is out of your control move past it look for the things that you can control
It all takes resilience resilience to push past any boundaries and push through every risk every hardship every wrong
turn
Right now right here is an open door
The door that puts you on the path towards success
Losing 24 hours because of the bad 10 minutes is like throwing
$10,000 away because you dropped a few pennies you
Have control you have control over your future a future fueled by your success
Constructed by your progress it all begins right here and it all starts right now
Don't waste one more minute sitting and thinking I want you to spend your next minute acting
Take your own direction and write your own rules
You need to write the next chapter
The next chapter that pushes you through towards a story and a story that you can finally be proud of
Now is the time to become someone you believe in someone with purpose don't stop now
Don't stop until you know, you can make it
Stand up to your success stand up to your power. This is your opportunity take it
Take it like you own it because you do
Be sure know your purpose your worth your intention your drive to strive towards success
Life is in your hands. It has always been in your hands
This is the time this is the time to make it past your fears your boundaries
This is the time you break them shatter them make them a part of you build your future
From the remains this is where it starts
Now is the time to succeed?
The power is in your hands the power to be something more something that has potential. You know that
You've always had it take the opportunity take the risk take the risk now before it's too late
It's never too late
never stop
This is where you can begin work
hard work
Become the person you admire
You know that you can be the best all it takes is power
Drive and work work until it hurts. This is where you succeed
This is how you succeed you can
be
You can be so much more start thinking about what you're actually doing
Like you're gonna only be so pretty you're only gonna be so smart like you like there's there's things are gonna be natural and there's
things that you can actually control I
Do believe and I don't know if I'm right or wrong. I don't but I do believe that work. Ethic is a taught behavior
It's something you do have more control over
I feel like there's a shift that can make people work harder. The big one that I push is you're gonna die
Like like if your complaint like to me life is broken down into complaining and not so if you're not complaining well
Then I know I have no advice for you, but I'm pumped like you did it
Great people don't have anything magic. They worked relentlessly for years and years
They decided that they were going to be great
They decided that they didn't want to sit back and hide they decided that they wanted to shine. They
Decided that their name would be in lights and people would admire what they do. If not for you
Decide to be great for the world
I think so many people are keyboard activists, right?
Everybody's good at sending a tweet about how the world should be and nobody's doing anything about it
And that just that is just very much human nature
But let's not be naive
I mean people literally complain when somebody gives them the wrong amount of like extra cream in a Starbucks
$6 coffee my
lack of interest in complaining is so high and when I watch what people complain about
It breaks my heart because they completely lack perspective and I genuinely believe my happiness and optimism comes from my perspective
Even in political unrest times like right now a lot of people very bent out of shape
But the reality is is that it just never been better to be a human being. It's that's just the truth. That's just data
that's that's reality and
Yeah, I mean, it's just a very fun time to be alive so much going on
Be prepared in life for a lot of rejection
Because if you're prepared for a lot of rejection it comes you don't get turned off
You don't get disappointed like well, I'm not gonna do this anymore. No one thinks it's a good idea
It's like I say selling encyclopedias not kinda hundred doors. They slab them you're faced
You must be just as enthusiastic on door number 101 as door number one
We're all worth far more than anyone can imagine
Our power honestly is endless in our potential has the power and make something real out of the life you live
That's crazy
But your life is now you can alter your future
This is where you begin to and this is where you start to succeed
Now this moment around you right now
That's the secret power that you have
Time is your power this time. You have the potential to succeed to be something with purpose someone with power
There's so many people there talking about how big of an entrepreneur they're gonna be and how much they're gonna achieve and
They don't work on weekends
You know, I worked every Saturday of my 20s like and I talk to 20 year old entrepreneurs every single day lately
I've been saying to them this Saturday you're gonna have more time off than I've had in my entire 20s on a Saturday
So like before you tell me how you're gonna be bigger than me start thinking about what you're actually doing
We're beating ourselves up
Like everybody sucks at something right like we all have shortcomings and we all have strengths and for me
It's like why don't we just audit that like why don't we just look at it that way and be like alright
well
I'm good at this but I'm not good at that like and then and then and then I only focus what I'm good at
Right, like I don't dwell that. I can't fix it around the house. I call somebody to fix it
Like I'm not like I'm not a man
I don't give a fuck like you know, like like, you know
like I don't I don't get it like we all like I also think it's awesome that I'm so
Emotionally stable and I'm the emotional backbone of everybody. Is that what a dude's supposed to do like like these?
Cliches these stereotypes. They're so silly
You're exactly right man. I don't judge myself. I'm fully in love with myself
But I'm also fully in love with everybody else too. Right? It's not like like it goes both ways
Like I tell people to buy into me that work for me. It's cuz I buy into them first
Like I don't need anybody to gain trust with me, I've it's they're
Like I believe if the human race is so grossly
underrated we are good of
Course, we have some bad. There's and seven billion of us
but like when you look at our net score, it's bonger like, you know any damage we can be doing to each other on a
Hourly basis and we don't like we're still here
Like we won were the Alpha being and we've figured out how to stay together. This is insane when you think about it and
Yet everybody wants to dwell on like somebody said something mean
We already have enough problems on this planet be different be a person who makes a difference
Be a person who makes a change for good be a person who has an impact on the world
Stop denying the world of your greatness
You need to see every single day as a bank account
Nobody is poor. Nobody is rich
Everyone has 24 hours each and how you spend your balance each day will decide who you become
Spend your time wisely. Do not waste it on things out of your control
Be prepared for a lot of rejection whether it's in their personal life that someone says you're too old you're too fat
You're too young. You're not going to do anything other than yes, you've got holes in your nose
You got these coming out your ears
Whatever is other than yes, this is wonderful realize this can happen in life
As soon as people know that when something goes wrong, they look at a piece of paper. Oh, yeah, that reminds me
But the best thing that happened to me no one helped me
No one felt sorry for me. No one looked at me and said like this day and age though
They'll take you in and it'll tell you bye stop picking on this person back then any care
The only person that's to turn this person around it's me. You don't reckon turnaround is put myself through the worst
Things possible a human being could ever endure and I'd be the only way that I can build this brain
To handle anything that comes in front of him callus in my mind through pain and suffering
Don't be afraid to step up to your fears
Don't be afraid to even become your fears take this opportunity now to be worthy of the success
You want to be the person that you admire?
Someone who takes extra steps to be more than they could ever imagine those extra steps putting in those extra hours
As humans we we want to find out how to be someone else
What we don't do is we don't go inside
So literally turn yourself inside out read the book that says like like we're writing a book every day for life
But we never read that book
So what I would challenge this young man or or you don't want me to do is you have to look inside of here
So if you see what you really want, what are you passionate about?
We use these words and these little phrases of only the strong survive and also the crap they're all just fucking words
Take this as your
Opportunity to change your life for the better to enjoy the life you deserve
To have the future you've worked for the future, you know
You can have use this as a tool a tool to motivate your life through your success
This is where it all starts kick off your life in the direction that pushes you towards a life a life
Where you can take control make sure you know, which direction you're headed in
Organize your world in your favor your favor for your purpose for your future
This is the opening to take you towards a life full of success
You have this control you have always had this power
unleash the animal
The only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey is
You have got to suffer to grow
to grow you must suffer and
Some people will get it something wrong
But they have to see what their journey is to start their journey several people live to be 100 years old
They have great lives and they have great kids the kids go to college long sort of stuff, but somewhere in their life
there was a point where they had a decision to make
They can go left or right on this path
Left was the easy route right was a hard rock
Allows you to take the easy route and they had a good life that way but the better life was going to the right side
And you may have 20 years of pain and suffering to get past it
but a lot of us die never truly starting our journey and
I would tell this to a person you got to start your journey. It may suck
But it will it will come out the other side where you're coasting. Just keep doing the right thing and the good thing it'll happen
The reason people change is because of pain
My relationship with pain runs deep and it's complicated
On the one hand I
love pain, I love
Trying to push the outer
edges of envelope of what the pain experience is in a physical sense
and it's also
Been my greatest teacher in terms of things that I've accomplished, but also my errant ways as well
Pain is truly. The only thing that's ever gotten me to change
So it's been my growth accelerator as well as my reminder of when I've gone astray
Okay, so there's a difference between pain and suffering there's a difference between there were we're all suffering
we all have suffering we all have an
emptiness or a dark place or
corners inside of our spirit in our mind that are not fulfilled and watered and full like we all can relate to that and
When I'm talking about pain
I'm not necessarily talking about suffering but acknowledging our suffering being in touch with the pain that's enough to say
when you're really honest that's enough to say I
I don't want to do the same
Like this is not the person I want to become and be on a regular basis if that's the case if that assumption is
Right, then as a loved one. My job is to help you get real and
experience those places as often as you can so that you make the
Declaration to say no. No. No, that's not okay for me to feel and be this way on a regular basis
You know we're so conditioned to avoid pain
Every message that we see every billboard we see every advertisement that we're exposed to is
Telling us that happiness can be can be purchased through comfort luxury through ease
and that's sort of implicit in that is that that's how we find happiness and I can tell you that I'm
Happiest and most alive when I'm butting up against the outer edges of my pain threshold
And I'm not afraid of it and so when I start to feel that sensation
Rather than shirk away from it. I realize that's an opportunity to
Experience a heightened sense of myself in my environment
To really be in a position where
Everything else falls away and it's just you and your ability to take one step forward
There's a purity to that that again isn't another great feature and so in terms of techniques
I've just learned through experience
That just like David Goggin says when the signals that you're receiving are telling you to stop
That you don't necessarily have to pay attention to that that that you are capable of so much more
if you can develop the acuity the presence of mind and the wherewithal to
Then take that next step and when you're on the other side of it to realize you're still okay
and you can take another step and a whole your horizon extends and you realize that there's a whole world of potential and
possibility
Available to you that you weren't previously aware of
Never should never exist in your world if you want to improve if you can see yourself being better
Never should even be in the picture
You have the power to do anything possible the power to transform into somebody capable of anything you can imagine
This this is the power you deserve let your success let your mindset be the beginning
The journey doesn't in here this journey doesn't end when the Sun goes up when the sun goes down
It doesn't end when you close. Your eyes doesn't end for one second because hard work waits for nobody
Let yourself be heard let your power speak for itself
Let your beginning be the potential to take you further and further along your path to success
You are the only inspiration you need you are the only force it takes to be someone more
to have so much more
remember your worth as a person remember the
possibilities of your power the fruitful future that lingers over your shoulders
This is where you never say never never
Say never to any possibility to any opportunity to any mistakes to any fear
You say yes, this this is the only way to grow
I
Think that that most people set the wrong goals for themselves and it's because they're disconnected from who they are
They are living someone else's life or they're living a life. That's so disconnected from who they are
It becomes very difficult to set the right goal. So I think in order to
Reconcile that you have to look inward
You know and that can be different for everybody that can mean a consistent meditation practice that can mean therapy that can mean
You know
starting to do yoga, it can mean many many things, but I think there's no
and run around the
very difficult long process of
Really trying to be honest with yourself about who you are what's important to you?
what you care about and then beginning to breathe life into those things as frivolous as they may seem
To bring expression to the things that that you do care about that that that get you excited in the morning
And that doesn't mean you quit your job tomorrow
but the more you can
foster
Something that has personal importance to you. I
think that's the first step in trying to
move past
Whatever it is that's holding you back whether it's professionally or personally
To being a more integrated authentic version of yourself
Let this be the moment you remember
Show yourself as the rocket in your own life. This is the journey you're on
You control the progress you make you strengthen the path that
Transforms you into the person you've been waiting to become the person that allows you to become someone new you
Have the skills to be bold the strengths to grow faster the power to be stronger
The journey you've waited for is here here for you to be something better
This is the opportunity in front of you. This is your future staring at you face to face
Waiting for the power to be granted to you
Your power is welcomed welcomed by your progress your progress that guide you towards your future
Be someone you can take pride in become someone, you know that you can become
This is the journey. You have the journey you're on
Take the first step towards success take the first movie of faith into the risks of your life
Push past the limits move toward a future you can imagine a future use design. This is your power
Self-reliance, is everything don't don't expect anybody to do anything for you
I'm the only one who can get it done
And if you just buckle down and go the extra mile, you will solve the problem and you will make your way in the world
You know
we all have a unique song and I think most people to echo the words of Henry David Thoreau are
leading lives of quiet desperation
and go to the grave with the song still in them and I find that tragic and so if there's anything
that
That that my work is about it's about helping people become cognizant of that and to take action so that they don't become
That person leading a life of quiet desperation, which I think I don't know
I wouldn't want to say most people but a lot of people are and I found out heartbreaking
You know, what's your major malfunction right now, what's the thing that keeps you up at night?
Do you resent the most? What are you afraid of what?
Do you want to achieve what's in it what's in it? What do you think is in your way?
you know, I think just by asking people questions and and and and
Then holding a vision
For that better life for them to say I believe in you
I'm not here to tell you what to do or how to live your life
But I believe in your greatest expression and I'm gonna hold space for you
To give people permission to be honest to be vulnerable. We're so afraid of being vulnerable
We're terrified of being honest
We're so used to being judged and being held to a standard that society sets for us
That we don't give ourselves permission to even ask these questions. Let alone answer them
What have you done today to be different
What have you done to step outside the conventions that you set for yourself?
The conventions and the rules set by your past
Today you have the power to move on today. You have the power to move away from your past and move towards a successful future
This is your decision your call to make in your future
This is how your life can gain its own direction
And this is where your life can be so much more so much better. You can make it better
you have always had the potential to take one more step the potential to take the risks others are too scared to take because you
Are more and you are stronger and you have the determination and the courage to be so much more
