Far too many of you
worry way too much about other people
and not enough about your f*cking selves.
When you spend your energy
focusing on what other people are doing
instead of executing
on your own opportunities
you are setting yourself up
to f*cking fail
time
and time again.
And this goes against what society is, right?
Society is all about gossip
it's all about talk
it's all about who's doing what
and it's never about worrying about
what you're doing.
That's why you don't see successful people
hanging out with people like that.
Because they worry about their own sh*t
they worry about their own actions
and they worry about how they can get better at it.
You see,
while you're over there,
watching me and talking about me,
I'm working.
I'm working hard.
I'm taking things to the next level.
You keep gossiping
and I'll keep working.
You keep talking smack
and I'll keep working.
You keep focussing on
everything and everyone else
and I'll keep working.
And when you finally look around
at where you are and where I'm at,
you'll realize that you have
nothing left to talk smack about.
And you will lose
and I will win.
If you take an oak tree seed
and you put it in a 2-foot pot
that seed
will never become the oak tree
that oak trees are capable of becoming
because it's gonna get stifled
by the 2-foot pot.
Now check this out
ain't nothing wrong with the seed.
The seed just fell prey to the environment.
Don't you allow your environment
to dictate
the oak tree that you become.
And you've got to be so relentless
regardless of what comes down the pike
that you're always looking for a way
to get over
always looking for a way
that you can break through
always looking for a way
that you can win
always looking for a way
that you can strike a telling blow.
It's you
if it's gonna happen.
Not about the failures.
Not about your disappointments.
Not about the defeats.
Not about your mistakes.
Not about what you don't have.
Not about who doesn't approve of you.
Who doesn't like you.
All that's insignificant.
Your life
is in your hands.
You have the power
to turn your life around.
You've got the power
to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
You've got the power to be daring.
And it's on you
to be that decisive about your life.
Winning requires focus.
Winning requires intention.
Winning requires discipline
Success is the external reward
of mastering your inner game.
Are you in a position to quit or
you're in a position to go harder?
Are you in a position to go stronger?
Are you willing to dig and go
as far as you can in your life?
I believe you're happiest not when you're watching TV.
You're not happiest when you're playing with your apps.
You're not happiest when you're looking for likes.
You're not happiest when you're fooling around.
You're happiest when you're growing.
I think we're hardwired, that it's a survival mechanism.
We're happiest when we're making progress.
So we have a deep fear of self betrayal.
And when we don't capitalize on our talents,
what starts to happen is that
We start to lose energy.
We lose creativity.
We lose productivity.
I believe that many of us, the reason we don't have energy,
the reason why we're not as creative as we want.
The reason why we're not as productive as we want
is because we have betrayed our talent
and the deep, wise primal hero within
knows off that self-betrayal.
And we start to hate ourselves
The place of knowing within you knows
that you've betrayed your talents
and we start to hate ourselves.
And so we have a deep well of self-loathing inside of us
that actually minimizes the 4 interior empires
and the 4 interior empires
are the gateway into the exterior empires of creativity,
productivity, performance, prosperity, lifestyle,
and impact.
How do you get to creativity, productivity,
prosperity, performance, lifestyle and impact?
Through the 4 interior empires.
Mindset, heartset, healthset, and soulset.
So that first fear is important.
Second fear, fear of standing out.
Well, how are you going to innovate
if you haven't worked through your fear?
This is why personal mastery
is the gateway
It's the gateway drug into world-class.
There's such power in personal improvement.
I saw a comment section of an online newspaper and someone was mocking
the idea of self-improvement, but
Michelangelo's David in Florence,
Beethoven's moonlights sonata
Jonas Salk's vaccine
The Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
DaVinci's Mona Lisa,
the Taj Mahal.
Those were all examples of self-improvement.
Our civilization has got to where it's at right now through the progress
of people who improve themselves by reaching deep within themselves and
saying, I am more than I currently am.
And I have a vision
And I will materialize it when it's easy, when it's hard, when it's dark,
when there's sunshine, when I'm doubtful, when I'm confident.
So the second word representing the second piece of advice I'd give
if I was dying, let's say, would be "grow"
use each day as a platform
to build your knowledge base so you can deliver more value
use each day to grow in your self awareness,
use each day to grow your muscles and your physicality
use each day to read and pray and meditate and journal.
So you grow into your and glorify your greatness.
The biggest war you'll ever go through
is right between your own ears.
It's in your mind.
The mind's a very powerful thing
it has a tactical advantage over you all the time.
It knows where you don't want to go
so it will guide you away from that.
And that's why the mind will always win.
Until you f*cking reprogram it.
You gotta figure out a way to reprogram your mind
to get outside the box.
Whatever my mind said
I don't want to do
I realize
I must do that.
I need you to confront you
because you the one holding you up.
I need you to look in the mirror and tell you,
you are not gonna do me like this no more.
You're not gonna continue to sabotage me.
You're not gonna keep procrastinating.
You're not.
You know you should be further in life,
but you keep letting you slide.
Hold you accountable
and don't let you off the hook.
I'm talking about you.
The only person that you can actually control,
you.
That's who has to take ownership.
Weakness,
doesn't get a vote.
Laziness,
doesn't get a vote.
Frustration,
no vote.
Negativity,
they don't get a vote.
The next time
that you're feeling weak,
or you're feeling lazy, or you're feeling soft,
or you're feeling emotional,
tell them
they don't get a vote.
Impose the discipline,
and the power,
and the positivity, and the will.
And use that mind control
to move your life
where you want it to be.
You gotta get over your mind
going I can't do this
it's too hard, and all that sh*t
you gotta push yourself
through when you feel exhausted and say
there's a second wind in me, I'm gonna find it
but if you find yourself saying I can't do something
I don't wanna do something
but you know, if you made yourself do it
you're gonna be a better human being
then you must do it.
Don't hesitate, do it immediately.
Some people say, well, that's not a very safe life.
That's not a very secure life.
If you want security, go to prison.
If you want freedom, this is how you live.
See those of you who will evolve,
who are willing to evolve.
You will inherit the future.
Those of you who willing to take everything
you do for the next level,
you will inherit the future.
It is the individual who is
is willing to become more.
I don't feel rejected
I tried.
How do you feel rejected when you try?
The person who didn't try should feel rejected.
The person that didn't try should feel defeated.
The person that didn't try
should feel some type of way.
I tried.
I don't feel rejected
I feel good about myself.
I tried.
I don't feel bad.
I gave it 120%.
You can't never feel bad when you put forth 120%.
And I will not stop
in the middle of a process.
I will not be defeated.
I will not be destroyed.
You will not break me.
You will not stop me.
You will not defeat me.
The only way I lose
is if I quit.
And I've made up in my mind
that I will get a reward
for the pain that I go through.
You can't defeat me.
