stop waiting around because you're going
to die at some point stop overthinking
everything so much realize that while
you are trying to do a lot of things in
your life at once and you are trying to
be better than you were yesterday also
realize you don't have to try to do
anything you just have to do and you
just have to be you have to understand
the concept of you're not actually
really doing anything you're being done
each and every day is an opportunity to
get something from the day rather than
just going through the day but there are
a lot of things that we can't always
control we can't always control the
temperature outside we can't always
control what the birds are doing or what
the fish are doing or what the animals
are doing but we can control what we're
doing we can control who were hanging
out with so in a sense we can get some
control over the anxiety that you have
and the way that we're going to gain
control over those things is think about
some of the hurdles that we may have
some of the things that are blocking us
from making quick quick action turning a
reaction towards maybe having better
health or stopping drinking alcohol into
a active reaction something that you can
actually do what's something that's easy
it's something that you can actually do
it something that you can ask
perform so think about this what is in
the way of your goal what is in the main
of a serious attainable goal that you
have that you can get to in the near
future let's just say for example that
you want to lose some weight what are
two or three things that are in the way
of that is that your living situation is
it your kitchen is it your finances what
are these things start to break those
things down don't allow those things to
continue to be an excuse anymore because
you understand and you know the problem
may be you work too much if you work up
and maybe you work a lot you've got some
crazy work hours well how does that
actually have anything to do with what
you're eating maybe it doesn't allow you
to sleep very much so maybe it causes
poor decisions to be made daily and
maybe you're just rundown but how can
you mitigate that what are some things
that you can do do you literally work
all the time I don't think so I think
there's probably some corners that by
some edges that you can find in those
corners is where we find the magic right
we don't want to cut any corners we want
to go around those corners so in those
corners try to find out where the answer
is where the answer lies
how can you be better than you were yes
and the answers are simple let's start
to break down some of the barriers maybe
it's really cold where you live and you
don't want to go outside you don't want
to get in your car and drive to the
camera you don't want to go for a walk
or go for a run
well get yourself bundled up get
yourself really warm you have to aim and
shoot at the same time and not think too
much do not allow yourself to get into a
debate with yourself ever I'm really
just about anything if these are bigger
life decisions well then maybe it does
make sense to really think it out you're
gonna move from California to New York
or you're gonna move from New York to
California you want to try to think
about a little bit right but in terms of
making a decision towards building a new
habit towards building a good healthy
habit that is something that should not
take a whole lot of thought and it's
something that already happened a lot in
your head you already had a long
conversation with yourself about how you
are not going to abuse your body anymore
so aim and shoot simultaneously get it
done at the same time don't make it an
announcement to yourself don't make an
announcement to yourself because if you
make an announcement to yourself or to
the world or to social media it's
already gonna be too late in your brain
there's gonna be alarms going off about
how you shouldn't do that and how you
can't do that how you have failed at
previously I want you guys to figure out
a way to get out in front of this and
make the announcement without making an
announcement so in your goal to be more
fit in your goal to be more
Jack in your goal to stop drinking
alcohol in your goal to ditch some of
these bad habits in your goal to turn
your life around forever in your in your
goals towards doing the things that
you've always wanted to do stop bleeding
around because you're going to die at
some point you're going to continue to
get older so aim and shoot
simultaneously don't overthink things
get out there and figure out a way to
get it done and whatever those turtles
are you already know what they are I
want you to follow through with try to
not allow those things that be excuses
anymore I want you to if you have a goal
to benchpress 315 pounds what are the
three how do you benchpress 315 pounds
you might say I need to bench
twice a week I need to get in more sleep
and I need to eat more protein well
those three things you just listed them
out I think you can do them I want to
see you doing I want you to act on those
things I want you to react to those
things I want you to gravitate towards
those things I want you to stop using
excuses on why you can't do those things
because you can do those things you have
the ability to do a lot of great things
in your life and a lot of great things
with your life
I want you to think about a couple of
places in your life where you feel
you're pretty strong and I want you to
think about a couple places in your life
where you're really weak now I want you
to flip the script on yourself and I
want you to think about that a little
bit more why are you weak in some of
these areas and why you so strong in
others why do you care so much about
other people and why do you force your
heart and soul into your children or
into your niece or your nephew or your
grandmother but you won't take care of
yourself you won't make the promises and
follow through the things that you tell
yourself that you're going to do if you
told grandma said I'm gonna be over at
your house at 6 a.m. tomorrow because
I'm gonna take you shopping for some
groceries you'd probably show up on time
but when it comes to you showing up at 6
a.m. for the gym for yourself to take
care of yourself to make yourself better
than you were yesterday to make yourself
a better shape to make yourself stronger
you don't show up don't make an
announcement I just want you to do I
don't want you to try I just want you to
do I want you to be you don't have to do
anything spectacular in this life to be
loved by other people but you do have to
do spectacular things for yourself on a
daily basis to be loved by yourself
strength is never a weakness weakness is
never a strength I'm out of here
