You have to want something so big
that it drives you to wae up
when you don't want to.
It keeps you up at night when you long
been sleepy, it makes you show up,
do things you wouldn't normally do.
It requires extra.
I don't know who this is for.
I don't know what you've been through.
I don't know how bad it hurts you.
It hurt pretty bad you survived, but
something on the inside died in the
process and you're a shell of what you
would have been, what you could have been.
What's your ought to have been because
life have cost you so much that
you're working with a deficit
and most people don't work on their dreams.
Why?
one is because of
fear, the fear of failure.
What if things don't work out.
And the fear of success.
And I can't handle it.
These are not risk takers.
Poor eople say I can't afford it.
I can't do that.
I don't have time.
It's an escape.
You know what I mean?
It's easy to say.
I can't afford it
"Oh I can't I'm too tired."
"Oh I can't go to the gym"
when you could go to the gym,
"No I can't."
Truth is I'm just too lazy to go to the gym
The people that are going to own it are gonna be the ones
that did that work
and the one promise that I can make you right now
is that somebody-
somebody out there is out working,
somebody right now
is doing the things that I'm saying
somebody right now is doing the work of failing
and getting up and getting better and pushing themselves
and triggering that glorious adaptation response
that makes humans the apex predator.
Someone right now
they're putting in that work
The things that you're feeling clenching up
feeling like you're not good enough
feeling like you're not ready,
doubting yourself, kind of spending too much time
thinking about how much time you've wasted.
You cannot overcome those thoughts because
they keep rising up and they become a habit.
It's sort of a pattern.
You are going to feel like an imposter
until you push through that clenched
up moment over and over and over again.
And then suddenly who actually.
You're going to see that
you're not an imposter at all.
You're actually the kind of person
that pushes through and does what
he or she says they are going to do.
Is knowing what it is your life work
what is it that gives your
life a sense of meaning and purpose?
Because once you find that
it puts you in your power place,
see if you know what your life work is.
I encourage you to start working on it.
If you can't do it all at one
time, do just a little bit of it.
And if you don't know what it is that
you showed up to do, if you don't know
why you're here,
I encourage you to find out what your purpose is
and what is the meaning of your life at one
you have strength only few can understand
Because most have never experienced,
so don't give it, don't settle.
Don't lower your expectations to fit into the world
As Daniel Pink said,
people fail to achieve mastery.
Not because they aren't talented
but because they aren't disciplined
most people if they really look at how they're living their life today,
it's based on a set of standards,
a set of beliefs
that they made choices about 10, 20, 30, or more years ago.
Pain will change us
heartache, loss, disappointments.
They don't leave us the same
every painful time, even though you don't like it,
it's developing something in you
that can only be developed in the tough times.
So an incantation is not only you speak it, but
you embody what you're saying with all the
intensity you can, and you do it with another
repetitions that it sticks in your head.
Like it's a small world Now
the conversation in your head is always
the same and it gives you what you want.
Pain is temporary.
It may last for a minute or an
hour or a day or even a year,
but eventually it will subside
and something else will take its place.
If I quit however
it will last forever
Not only is it possible for you to have
your dream, but it's necessary that you
go for, what is yours in the universe?
You've got to want that pressure.
You've got to want things to be hard.
You can't seek out the easy life.
You can't just hope and pray that
you can uncover inside of you.
Some talent that's laying dormant
that you didn't know about.
That's going to let things be easy for you.
Don't want the easy
want the hard want the pressure.
Want the thing
that's going to turn you into something.
Eventually that will pass.
You'll get through it,
but you will be different in those tough times
when you're uncomfortable going through
a loss, dealing with an illness, you
could easily let it overwhelm you.
Now how the pain changes you.
You have other ways to
look at your scenario and
You know it's like I'm trying to speak to that
to that demo
to those kids, to the young people out there
even to the older people that are like,
maybe I need to stop my job and like pursue something
else, or maybe I need to reevaluate
what I wanna do with my life.
But when you decide what's most important
to you, your brain goes after it.
Everyone I know who's successful builds what I call
an RPM plan and RPM is built on the metaphor
that the way to get from where you are to
where do you want to go to the fastest as
you got to build power, like in a car RPMs
and the R stands for, they know the result
thereafter, they know what they want.
Precisely.
If you don't know exactly what
you want, or you let yourself get
beyond that into something general,
you're not going to achieve it.
When you think about life, everybody wants the prize
but nobody wants the process.
Everybody wants the championship
but nobody wants the day-to-day.
Everybody wants to win games
but nobody wants to put in the work
that it takes to win games.
In the Bible, it talks about in Proverbs, it says,
"The laborer's appetite works for him
"and his hunger drives him on."
"The laborer's appetite works for him
"and his hunger drives him on."
So, my question to you all is,
what's your appetite for winning?
Because if you have an appetite for winning,
your hunger will drive you every day.
Your hunger will take you to the weight room.
Your hunger will take you past 32.
Your hunger will take you past the opposition.
Your hunger will take you past adversity.
Your hunger will take you past the trials and tribulation.
Your hunger will take you to that fourth quarter
when there's four zeroes on that clock,
you have emptied that bucket,
you have given everything you had in that game.
See, it's that sort of mind set, man,
where you attack this thing.
The game of football, it's not about skill.
That what people miss the boat on.
It has nothing to do with skill.
It has nothing to do with a 40 yard dash.
It has nothing to do with jumping a 40 inch vertical.
What this game is about, it's about will,
that's it.
It's not about skill, this game is about will.
So, the moment that you make up in your mind
the day that you make up in your mind
that you are going to play this game for God
and give everything you got to it,
you can't help but to give everything you got.
That's the moment that you will realize
this game has nothing to do with skill.
I've seen plenty of talented guys fold.
I've seen plenty of talented guys get hit in the mouth
and they didn't want it.
I've seen plenty of talented guys
get punched in the face and they go back to the sideline
and they stand beside their coach
and they don't want it no more.
They make up excuses.
I've seen plenty of talented guys,
they ran a 4.2 in a 40, they bench press 325 pounds,
and when third and one came up they tapped their helmet
to come out of the game.
That has nothing to do with skill.
