Everybody wants to be a millionaire. Everybody wants to rule the world. Everybody wants to stand
out and be revered as the best in what they do. But how many are willing to put in
the work necessary? How many are willing
to be awake at night perfecting their craft when all others are sleeping?
How many are willing to say “no” to binge-watching Netflix?
For how long will you keep giving in to laziness? You have a choice, and it must be made now.
Now is the time when you can decide to change your life forever.
Now is the time when you realize that talking is easy, but doing it is hard.
Anyone can say they are going to be rich, famous, and successful one day.
But everyone who achieved these things didn’t just say it.
They went out to do it. They did it because they realized
one very important thing. Everyone wants it.
Your competition is huge. And if you don’t do
absolutely everything you can to outperform everyone, your dreams will be only dreams.
Eric Thomas: What do you do when a thousand other people want exactly what you want? What do you do
when you're not the only one that wants to make a million dollars a year company, you're
not the only one that wants to be the president, you're not the only one that wants to be a CEO?
What if you're not the only one that wants what you want? One of their thousands of other people
who want what you want, you have to outwork them. You got to out crying them, you got to get
up earlier, you got to stay up later you've got to execute and you've got to go from 70 to 120.
If you want to be the best you have to be the one who works the hardest.
You have to be the one with the demanding work ethic.
The one everyone thinks is crazy. The one who obsesses over your goals. The one
who thinks about new ways to do what you’re doing. The only way you will ever make it
in this world is if you STAND OUT. You have to be smarter, faster, stronger.
When they’re out drinking and partying you will be studying how to make your business more effective.
You will be going after clients, meeting the people who will catapult
you into great opportunities. You will be ahead of everyone.
All of that is within your reach. Until…your worst enemy creeps in.
The laziness approaches you to whisper in your ear “you are so tired. Why don’t you
stop for a little bit?” Don’t listen to it.
Adhering to that suggestion will be the end of you.
The fight against procrastination is fought every day.
Every single day laziness will try to get the best out of you.
It will try to make you stop what you’re doing and stall your progress.
But you can beat it. You just have to condition your brain to do so.
Laziness is a habit. Whenever you feel the urge to stop everything you have to wonder
what makes you feel like that? Is it fear of failing?
Is it because you feel things are too hard? Understand what it is and replace it
with new thoughts. Replace it with the
consequences you will face if you don’t get up and do what you’re supposed to do.
Nobody is going to do what you need to do.
YOU are the one who must find the strength to work hard.
Jocko Willink: The idea isn't going to execute itself and the book isn't going
to write itself and the weights out in the gym. They're not going to move themselves.
You have to do it and you have to do it now. And that means you got to stop thinking about it
and stop dreaming about it and stop researching every aspect of it,
and reading all about it and debating the pros and cons of it, just start doing it.
Take that first step. And make it happen. Get after it and get after it here and now.
The time to do what must be done is NOW.
Never count on tomorrow. You have everything you need
to succeed. You just have to apply the right amount of effort and dedication.
You have to be rational and know why you’re doing what you’re doing.
You have to know what makes you want to give up so you can avoid it
or set up a system to deal with that. The secret is in what you feel.
We think we are rational beings, but we are actually emotional ones.
Yes, we have the ability to think beyond any other species that we know of.
But we are driven by what we feel. When we feel tired, when we feel disappointed,
when we feel defeated, that’s where the danger lies.
But that is also where the opportunities are hidden.
Because if you learn to go on despite all those things, it’s
going to become increasingly hard to stop you. You can develop the emotional strength to better
control yourself and avoid defeat. You just have to remember this.
When everything is lost, keep going. When you are defeated, keep going.
When you didn’t get what you wanted, keep going. When life isn’t fair keep going.
When you want to give up, more than anything you’ve ever wanted in your life KEEP GOING.
Your feelings can hold you down, but if you overcome them, everything changes.
You just have to pull yourself up.
Mel Robbins: Your feelings! Your feelings are screwing you! I don't care how you feel!
I care about what you want! And if you listen to how you feel, when it comes to what you want – you
will not get it. Because you will never feel like it. And you need to get outside your comfort zone.
It's not about taking risks; it's about getting outside your comfort zone. Those first three
seconds when you push yourself out of bed, they blow. But once you're up, it's great.
Who told you life should be easy?
Who told you the only thing you should ever feel is comfort?
Life isn’t like that. So, stop acting like it is.
Rejoice in how much you can learn from a bad situation.
Life would be boring without challenges, so learn to see the fun in them.
When you have the mindset to go through anything no matter
what and to overcome obstacles, no matter how hard it can be,
that’s when everything changes. You become a new person.
David Goggins: What changed me was I had to be hard on myself.
And I have to continue to grind myself into a fine dust period. That's where I feel good. I
like I accomplished something. If things come easy, it's not fun. I must fail at something
repeatedly. It has to haunt me and then once I complete it I feel I accomplished something.
: Laziness is the enemy of defeat. You have to beat it every day.
It is a constant struggle, but you can do it. Work hard, play hard.
Nothing which comes easy is worthwhile or exciting.
You have the chance to build yourself into someone so strong that no weapon can break.
Don’t waste it. Don’t choose mediocrity over excellence.
Pain is temporary. The pain of working yourself to exhaustion will diminish.
But the regret of not achieving your goals will haunt you in your dreams.
Don’t make the mistakes that so many people regret.
You can be different. You can be better.
You can be unstoppable. Just have the courage to get up every day
and do the work even when you don’t want to. It is a simple as that.
And the rewards are unimaginable. Start overcoming laziness today
and see your life flourish in amazement.
