Fundamentals
those basics
that build the foundation for accomplishment, productivity,
success, and lifestyle.
Fundamentals from the beginning, the basis, the reality
from which everything else flows.
And remember, there are no new fundamentals.
Fundamentals are old, well-established.
Beaware of someone who claims to have a new fundamental.
That's like someone who claims the manufacturer antiques.
We would have to be suspicious, right?
So fundamentals, basics, they are so very important
to understand and consider and practice
if you wish for the good life.
And may I add here,
Make sure you don't go looking for the exotic answers to success.
Success is a very basic process.
It doesn't fall out of the sky.
It doesn't have any mysteries,
nor does it fall into the realm of the miraculous.
Success is merely a natural result
that comes from the consistent operation
of the practical fundamentals.
As someone wisely remarked
to be successful, you don't have to do extraordinary things.
Just do ordinary things extraordinarily well.
We're moments away every day
from a decision that's going to completely change our life.
That every single moment of every single day has a massive impact
on where you ultimately end up.
I was like to say that the secret to success
is doing a lot of little things
consistently over a long period of time.
I've learned to show up every single day,
the moment you realize the
next step isn't going to kill you.
And that next step is the first step to evolving,
changing, growing, and learning and becoming
literally the best version of yourself.
That's the most beautiful thing.
It's not going to kill you
and putting yourself in the game you're giving yourself an opportunity
to achieve something that everybody else had was impossible.
There is no substitute for hard work.
You show up, you clock in,
you get sh*t done, period,
and anything else is excuse.
Motivation has a very fickle thing
and that's successful people
learn that you can not rely on motivation.
Successful people learn
how to function with, or without it every single day.
The same thing I do all the time
Go out there and do my best
show up early, work hard
work harder than everybody else.
Be innovative, try to create, never be afraid to fail.
If you are doing the same thing you did yesterday,
you're not improving.
You're not changing your life.
And it's about having one life, guys.
For some people out there that aren't feeling good.
Man, if you just f*cking struggle more,
you get over that struggle you feel better.
It sounds so simplistic, bro
I swear by
You were born hopelessly average!
And the sooner that you accept that,
the sooner that you accept
that you were no better than anyone that came before you
and everyone that's going to come after you
but all of us have potential.
And so the question becomes
the question you have to answer with your very life.
The question that your actions will answer
What are you going to do with that potential?
Will you actuate it?
Will you bust your ass to get good?
Will you get so good over time that you can play with the greats?
Will you get so good that people look at you with awe?
Can you get so good
that you become the excuse that other people use not to try?
Can you get so good
that people have to dismiss you as naturally talented?
Can you get so good
The people refuse to believe that they can get that good.
Can you work so hard
gaining a set of skills and driving yourself
day after day to get better
never accepting who you are
always pushing yourself forward,
always demanding more
and seeing the beauty and what you can become.
And knowing that even today,
as a caterpillar with nothing
With nothing to indicate you become a butterfly,
can you become the butterfly through sheer force of will
Because if you can become that,
you become a beacon of hope, not for other people for yourself,
because you proved that there really are no limits.
When you want something out of life,
you've got to be willing to go into action.
Don't wait around for things to be just right
Don't wait for things to be perfect
Don't wait for the ideal situation
It will never be ideal
There will always be a reason
Well, as soon as the children grow up
as soon as I pay my bills
As soon as I get my divorce
As soon as I get enough money together
Lot of people never take a chance in life
They don't want to take any chances
They want the situation to be ideal
See that's not walking by faith
That's walking by sight
If I can see it I will do it
No...
A lot of people say
If I can see it I'll believe it
No...
If you believe it, you can see it.
