people are always wondering what the next step in life is
and I say, life's a little bit like a maze, you know?
until you walk down one hallway and try to open the door
you don't know if it's a dead end or not
and people are trying to sit back
and that's where the procrastination comes in
and look real far down
the hallway, and I'm like, just walk
small and steady wins the race
what's the fastest way to change your life?
for me I think it's
understanding how to set up daily routines with alternating brain and body training
and, killing procrastination
the little win, with your family
when you feel like watching TV
sets you up for another win the next day
a little win of getting up at 5 o'clock
and running your morning routine
sets you up for a habit, of a 5am club morning routine
small daily improvements over time will lead you to stunning results
it comes down to this Elvis, I think you have to work hard
like, just so everybody knows
we haven't gotten into this subject yet
working hard, is the cost of entry to anything
you know zero people
that are successful
that don't work their face off
you know zero people
now, they may have money as mummy and daddy made money and gave it to them
but people that actually built their own success
you know zero people
that have had success, that did not put in obnoxious amounts of work
what's the most important key to success?
I think it's hunger
it's not getting satisfied
a hunger that doesn't go, a hunger to learn, a hunger to grow, a hunger to serve, a hunger to give
a hunger to create break throughs
most people are hungry until they make a certain amount of money and then they get comfortable
and there's nothing wrong with that
but it's not about the money, it's not about the business, it's about your growth
because every one of us either grows or dies
people ask me all the time, what does it take to be happy?
I say one word, progress
progress equals happiness
because achieving a goal feels good for how long? A week, a month, three months? And then there needs to be something else
and the reason for something else is because you gotta grow
imagine a conversation with your future self
and that, lets imagine that
the you of 20 years from now
shows up at your doorstep, and that you
is stronger, smarter, wiser, wealthier, healthier, happier
and that you shows up at your door
and it looks at your life
and it looks you in the eye
if that future you is going to give you advice
on what to stop, what to start
what's the first thing they would tell you to be? Or do?
take a step back right now and think about who we all admire in the world
right? They're all people that punted the system, they're people that practice singing since they were five
there are people that shot 10,000 basketballs every morning
it's always that
it's always that. 99% of the people right now that are listening to this are playing in the middle
they're playing in a game that was structured for them
they're risk adverse, they fear, and most importantly, they fear what other people think
look, I believe that we're all born with lots of goodness in us
but life throws curveballs
life, the ambition of being alive, helps us dream, and if you've been given a dream
don't discount that because you're not good enough yet
develop yourself, weaponise yourself
teach yourself to be so good at something that is necessary to serve in the area of your dream
that now you're never even thinking about your comfort zones
your comfort zone is irrelevant
what matters is, what are you trying to do with your life?
how are you trying to contribute?
the one thing that discipline definitely does
help you with, is it helps you get things done
and when you get things done, when you actually do things
you have more success
if you have more success, and sometimes a big part of success is just not being lazy and just doing it
it's like 90% of it is just showing up
get there and start working, like
you're not gonna feel perfect everyday
it's pretty much the same with everybody that actually gets good at something
there's gotta be those days you push through
and they're probably gonna be more numerous
than the days you don't
and so the benefit of discipline in my eyes has always been
that through discipline I get things done
