When everybody
is against you or don't believe in you no more.
It's a lonely feeling.
Oh, it hurts very badly.
I know what that's like.
They look at you with that look and say
why don't you try something else?
Why don't you give up?
Get away from these people
that's in your life that ain't doing nothing.
Get away from people in your life that's hating.
Get away from them.
Ignore and outwork
every last one of them.
Use them for fuel.
Use them for energy.
Put them on the mental Rolodex in your mind.
And when you don't wanna do sh*t,
roll through your brain,
put up that motherf*cker that you need,
that person who said you couldn't do something,
use it for energy.
Instead of killing them with kindness,
torture them with f*cking success.
It's time to commit
to focusing
on
YOU.
You have to disappear
and put the work in
and come back and
SHOCK
EVERYBODY
THAT DOUBTED YOU
Following your dreams
is a lonely
solitary
scary
dangerous pursuit.
You can't wait for somebody to think you can do it.
'Cause they don't think you can do nothing they can't do.
Nobody knows but you.
Nobody knows what you are.
Even sometimes you don't really even know what you are
you gotta take your shot.
It's about the sacrifice
the honor
the work
the commitment level
what you had to go through
in order to get to this moment.
Being battle tested.
The injuries
the blood
the sweat
the tears.
Everybody can't respond
and everybody can't recover.
The only thing you've got as a man
your character
your integrity
and what you stand on.
What you say
what it means to you.
I'm talking every single rep.
I'm talking every opportunity.
If there's any fear in your spirit right now
If there's any feit ain't for you.
This sh*t is for warriors, man.
This sh*t is for soldiers, man.
You're gonna get up
you're gonna get dressed
you're gonna get out
and you're gonna do
what you've been called to do.
You're gonna be what you've been told to be.
And you're gonna prove to everybody
that tried to break you
everybody that tried to stop you
everybody that tried to kill your dream
you're gonna prove all of them wrong.
You are willing to do whatever it takes.
I'll do whatever it takes
to get to that milestone.
It's your dream,
nobody's gonna see it like you do.
It's your dream,
nobody's gonna feel it like you feel it.
It's your dream,
nobody's gonna be as dedicated to it as you are.
It's your dream
and they don't have to understand
and they don't have to like it.
It doesn't make a difference,
it's your dream.
And you my friend have been given the task
to make it happen,
and you can't let anything stop you
from doing what you were called to do.
What's stopping you?
Are you too tired?
Didn't get enough sleep?
Don't have enough energy?
Don't have enough time?
Is that what's stopping you right now?
Don't have enough money?
Is that the thing?
Or is the thing that's stopping you
YOU?
It's really hard to be lead
by your but.
But I'm not qualified.
But I'm not good enough.
But I'm not smart enough.
But I didn't go to the right school.
But I don't have enough money.
But, but, but, but, but.
If you're ever going to step into your future,
if you're ever going to step into your destiny,
you're going to have to get over your but.
Every single day
the excuses that we make
are like a warm blanket pooled over us,
covering up
the underlining issue of fear.
Spirit, the personality of fear.
the truth is
that the reason why you haven't done it
is because you're afraid.
Tell yourself the truth.
Are you making yourself better
or are you making yourself worse?
Are you moving forward or are you moving back?
Are you making progress
or are you stagnating?
Make the decision,
yes or no.
Are you going to work out today?
Yes or no?
Are you going to win?
Yes or no?
Don't allow for any gray area in there,
get rid of the debate.
And you know the right decision to make,
so go and make it.
So now it's time for you to pick yourself up
and start trying
because the strength within you
is much stronger that the forces trying to break you.
Everything you need to go to the next level
you already have inside
The WILL
The STRENGTH
The PASSION
The HEARTH
The DESIRE
and you never have to accept the mental shackles
the mental chains
I'm telling you from experience
you always have the choice
to power through
and make that necessary change
Never let the darkness block the rays of sunshine
that are reserved for you.
The excuse is nothing but a cosmetic
It's makeup.
It's a blanket.
It's a convenience that we habitually gravitate to
because it just makes us feel better.
But the underlining issue
the underlining cancer,
the inflammation,
is fear.
We're afraid.
It's easier to behavior yourself into a new way of
thinking than think yourself
into a new way of acting
practice being spectacular long enough that
unspectacular unspectacularity
has no ability to enter your orbit.
How do the great athletes become great
practicing nonstop on the behavioral
researchers call it automaticity, right?
You practice
people going
How do I get discipline?
Well, discipline is a muscle.
And then you get out of the bed and you get up early or you make
your bed or you do 25 pushups or whatever, and you do it and you do it.
And you do it through the power of neuroplasticity, the
malleability of the human brain.
It's almost like a metaphors
for anyone who wants to make a change
who says I can't do it.
Well, your can't do it is the reason why you're not doing it because the can't do it
Is your weaker self versus your heroic self.
So it's almost like a metaphor you wake up in the morning, you
know, and you want to do something.
Let's say it's to be a better, more focus, better performer because in
addiction and distraction is the depth of your creative production.
So it's almost like a wide open mountain meadow.
And the first time you practice turning off your phone and practicing what I
call in the everyday hero manifesto
the five great hours rules
forget working more than five great hours a day
Five sweaty, intense hours.
They say you want to practice that.
It's almost like you're walking in a mountain meadow and
it's a pure mountain meadow.
You do it after a few weeks.
Now the meadow becomes
A trail because you've practiced it.
Eventually the trail becomes a road and you keep on practicing it.
And eventually the road becomes a highway.
And if you keep on practicing that the highway becomes a super highway.
And then if you look at the neurobiology, you've got this circuit and around it
is my starts to form a fatty tissue called myelin.
And some people believe some neuroscientists believe that myelin.
It's the secret of genius.
That's why Wayne Gretzky could send the puck to where it was going versus where it was.
That's why Steve Jobs could see around corners.
And he was his favorite word.
He could see where everything was going before anyone else could.
It's not because these people are cut from a different cloth.
It's because they run different protocols, think different thoughts
and they do different things.
And what I'd say to wrap that up is to have the results
the only 5% of the population has
We've gotta be willing to
to be brave enough and faithful enough to do what only what 95% of
the population are unwilling to do.
