most things in life that are worthwhile you got to work at you got to work at
you get out what you put in as simple as that that's a kind of a universal law so
yeah it's not pick up the guitar and go haha which I've done the whole front of
the mirror lots you know hey I'm really good and you got to have that attitude
too but it does take work it does take you know some dedication you know but if
you love doing it it's not as hard as it is could be if you're you know
you're doing something that's not it you're not as interested in
when I was twenty four years old or something I remember just being like it's time for me
to grow up and do something of my life like I've sat here for a year and a half
almost two years now like depressed miserable whatever I was doing making
excuses like this isn't who I want to be I aspire to be something greater you know
my parents didn't raise me to be this way I wanted to make myself proud I want
to make my last name proud I wanted to make you know my family proud and I
wanted to be a symbol I think you know I've always wanted to be a symbol
of inspiration of possibilities living a fulfilled life means waking up every
morning and feeling like your work has value it means that someone values you
and you value the people around you it means that you feel a part of something
bigger than yourself a sense of belonging that you get to contribute to
something and you feel that others are watching your back I mean for all of us
to wake up that way in the morning I mean wouldn't we all feel so fulfilled
fantastic yeah feeling of belonging and the ability to contribute to something
bigger than ourselves I'm a firm believer in what you put out
in the universe comes back to you you know so you know even if it's as crazy
as I have this dream car that I want or maybe it's not materialistic maybe it's
like I just want perfect health and I want to fall in love and I want this and
that my family you know if you put it out there it will come back to you in
return and I think it's just whether you it's the universe God like whatever you
believe in I think that if you put that energy out there it definitely comes
back that's all about hard work I think and trusting in what you're doing
because in the beginning there were a lot of people like, Martin you're too young
it's not gonna work. Also my soccer team they were, I was DJing and they were like
like and right now they're like oh f*** dude you were right and I think that's this is
the most important thing if you believe in what you're doing you're like that's
the most important thing if you don't believe in what you're doing you can
you give up you really don't have to put the time and effort in because you'll just give up
I failed a million times I just kept getting up and kept getting up you
know and so you know that's the greatest thing about success if you win success
right off the bat you don't learn anything
you're real truth and learning is in failure and when you go after endeavor
and you fall on your ass and you fail and you get back up and you reface it
and then you become successful that's some sweet victory right there
that builds our confidence in unyielding willpower that anything out there is
within your control so all these things in life, even the failures create who
you are today you know so therefore you can apply what
you've learned in the past to make the best judgment in a future course of
action you know and it doesn't matter if you win or lose it
really doesn't it just matters if you apply and you go for it you know what
you're learning yeah you know and I could teach you
whatever you know but when you go out there you try it yourself and you fall
flat on your face that's where you learn the most because the next time when you
fall you're learning to catch yourself and that's the lesson you never forget
I believe you know my life is a testimony in itself into speaking things into
existence and you know living the dream and just kind of you know just
recognizing what you want to be in life and achieving it in that sense
so I just want to get out there I kind of explain that and just you know you
I'm an optimist man and even in these times it's like you got to be able to wake up
with a smile and go down feeling really good
comfort and complacency is everybody's worst enemy the only time I've ever gotten in trouble in my life
was when I was bored complacent when I was settling who wants average who wants
average nobody wants it okay nobody no matter where you're at in life you don't
want average but we're surrounded by average people everyday average ideas
average products average advertising only those that have given up on
greatness will settle for average it's very very difficult to read something that
unconsciously or consciously you know is not going to make a big difference in
your life you have to believe that it's going to make the difference you have to
see how on your journey it's going to make the difference you need a sense of
urgency you need your mind to focus you need to
be engaged for someone like me my mind doesn't get engaged unless I'm
stimulated unless there's something going in my life that's interesting
something powerful that's going on it's gonna stimulate me to get me engaged and
this is why every single time on my journey I encounter some new book or
some new person to learn from I'm loving it you ever notice that when I'm talking
about books I'm reading or people I'm learning from I'm really all about it
that's because there's something on my journey that made me become all about it
I'm psyched about it, I'm pumped up
Habits. Good habits will give you results that stick bad habits will destroy everything I have some bad habits that's right all
my habits are not great so if you've got some bad habits don't feel bad so does
your next-door neighbor so does your mentor your coach so does your mother
and father if they're alive. So does everyone, and the trick of life is to replace a bad habit with a
good habit I used to hang around bars all the time one day I went in I picked
up a glass and I looked around and I thought they're all bums in here and
then it dawned on me I'm always here. I learned something
I put the glass down and said I'm never coming back here again and I'm never
going to drink this and I never did it was a long time ago but you know what I did
I went from spending all my money in the bar to a racetrack and I started to bet
it all on horses so I went from making somebody with a bar get wealthy and then
I started to feed the horses and one day I woke up and I learned something if you
don't consciously and deliberately replace a bad habit with a good habit
you will automatically create another bad habit
