you are your own hero you are your own leader you are your own Master we idolize so many people and
we want to be them we want to be someone else and in doing that you lose all the potential of who
you are you mimic you be them you are them you become them and you lose you you have to first
accept it before you can fix it a lot of people walk around oh man I'm good I'm good no you're not
you have to accept which you're not and people don't want to do that
that's the only way you can fix it you have to accept it first before you can go on the journey
a lot of folks never even start the journey man never start to join because they live in this fake
life that who they want to be they act like they are but they're not because they haven't fixed all
this stuff yet you gotta fix this first before we can start our journey in life you fix these
problems now your journey can begin because you no longer care about how people are judging you
we when you care more about how someone's judging you you're going to stay right there there's no
four momentum your mind chooses the path of least resistance your mind has the ultimate tactical
advantage over you it knows what scars you it it knows your fears it knows your insecurities and
it protects you it knows and it keeps you away from all that that's why it says don't jump out
of an airplane don't go in the ocean where there's sharks it's a protective mechanism
don't go back to the place where your dad beat the [ __ ] out of you in your mind don't go back
the brain protects you but protects you so much it doesn't allow growth so the brain is an amazing
thing but the brain controls you you must control it you must take power over your own mind or your
mind will guide you into all the soft spikes soft places that your brain wants to live in
we all have these voices in our head we like to not listen to them
the one that Comforts us and keeps us nice and warm and cuddly and gives us cookies and milk
at night time we like that voice that voice the one we want to always share wish why people don't
like to listen to me a lot some people do some people don't the only thing that changes you is
being real so basically you know I had to have the courage to go back in it because nothing
was getting done I kept on going to that nice cuddly voice in my head saying you know what
you don't need to do to do that that's too much work man you've earned this you deserve this
and that mentality got me to 297 pounds fat out of shape to me a loser to me making a thousand
dollars a month and making a ton of mistakes because mistakes happen on the easy side of life
you take the easy Road the easy path there's a lot of mistakes over there the hard journey you don't
make too many mistakes over here because it's too hard you don't want to repeat it
the mind has a governor like a car if you're driving a car and the car has a governor on
it the car may say 130 miles an hour but the governor set for 91. once that Governor sets in
you get the 91 that car starts doing this the car wants to go the car wants to go but that factory
said uh-uh we're not going past 91. we have a factory a nice governor in our brain and it's
the survival mechanism it protects us from pain and suffering the second we feel that our mind
says oh no this isn't fun we should back off we should sit down find something more comfortable
for me my routine is every night I stretch out and I stretch out for two or three hours every
single night without fail and while I'm stretching out I'm thinking about my plan for the next day
and I'm thinking about all these different obstacles that may come up so basically a
lot of us aren't prepared for life we get up really nearly in this hope life
is going to happen it is going to happen but it's going to happen with the prepared mind
or unprepared mind most people attack life with an unprepared mind what I do is I try
to account for all things that could happen might happen probably will happen and then the unknowns
so basically I can't account for everything but I do know there could be some things that come up in
life that you need to be ready for I know for a fact I'm not going to want to work out tomorrow
therefore I'm preparing my mind for that I don't want to do that I know tomorrow could come with
some difficult decisions to make it may come with a getting a phone call saying someone died
this happened that happened I'm always preparing myself not in a morbid way but just like look man
be ready for life don't let life just start attacking you left and right make sure that
you start to build a mental armor so then you're ready for life if you don't think about yourself
there's no pain which can also lead to pain later on in your life but in these moments when you're
struggling if you are a true leader and you're worried about your men or women beside you
your mind doesn't care how cold you are anymore your mind's only worried about taking care of the
men and women beside you so I started realizing man if I take care of these cats to my left and
my right in the worst moments my mind is no longer thinking about you're miserable David Goggins get
the hell out of here think about how was John how is Andy how is Sam how was Pete how hey how are
you guys doing you're not thinking about me so there's so many things you can do to get outside
your own head to then allow your body to be like hey we're just a machine but you have to let your
mind be able to process all these different tactics to do that take a different vantage
point in life when you are in the hell you can't see the beauty of being in it when you're in it
get on top of that Mountaintop in your mind guess up that Mountaintop and look down on what you're
doing you can see a whole different world that world is beautiful but you got to get a different
vantage point in this in the suck don't be in it spiritually get out of it get that soul look down
on what you're doing be amazed by the process of where you're at now and where you came from
was really wrong is the softness of this world everybody's not a winner there is failure there
is tons of defeat we have to get that back that's that's growth people have to get a little bit of
toughness back a lot of toughness back because the backbone of of this world is built off of
toughness not like I gotta go out there and do push-ups and pull-ups like that it's not
about that toughness is accountability you're not always right there's so many things I can
say about this the world has gotten very very soft it's easy nowadays like like technology
is so fast you know no one's even going to the library why Google everything's easy
no one's ever cold anymore no one's ever hot anymore everything is exactly the way we want it
everything is exactly we wanted when we want it we are and that's how the world is everything
is at our fingertips and that causes you not to use the most powerful weapon in the world which
is your mind everything is easy so why so so when things get hard how the how the hell can you rely
on your brain when you don't know how to because everything's so easy so we're not utilizing enough
because everything is just there I like to get a bunch of men together men that are the hardest
of the heart and I want to be with these men and I want to see them suffer because I'm suffering
right along with you but I want to see me get through it I want to see what you're made of
I want to see like almost like the Coliseum in Rome let's go to the Coliseum and the only way
to see who the baddest mother is is to suffer you can't do it by writing a paper foreign
