keep showing up if no one invests in you invest in yourself if No One Believes In You Believe In Yourself even if you don't see the results right away keep showing up until you do see the results even if you don't see the results for a very very long time keep showing up you don't start things and not finish them you don't quit there's nothing that comes out of quitting besides knowing that you didn't finish we finish everything you start it finish it if you're going to do it do it to try and be the
best whenever I get to a low point where I think why do I even bother I just remind myself this is where most people stop and this is why they don't win I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance it is so hard you pour so much your life into this thing there are such rough moments in time that most people give up so it's like if you were to make if you're playing a video game and the the way to win the game was to
be make the most successful character right you would have probably a really character-driven human being in terms of like they'd be patient you know they'd be hardworking they like you think about all these traits that they would have right they'd probably be tough emotionally like Etc all right cool that's the character and that's the person who's going to be really successful we can all probably agree on that okay how do you create someone who's patient how do you create someone who's tough so all of a sudden if we had to then engineer the game in
order to boost those points we'd have to get them beat up a lot so that they could get tough we'd have to make them wait a long time so they could become patient and so the point that you made about like these people who become really successful have these traits and also share the fact that they've been through all this [ __ ] it's like well they got the trait from the [ __ ] and then the trait was the ultimate output of the experience and that trait then made them super successful that they didn't
have earlier there's a reason why they say see the light at the end of the tunnel if you don't see that light you're going to lose your mind you will lose yourself you will snap in half if you don't see past this the challenge for many of us is that we got to see past our present pain an end to the fruitfulness of the future but we must keep moving we must keep going if you can't fly run if you can't run walk if you can't walk crawl but by all means keep moving you can
do two things you can run and and hide curl up in a ball and let the world just beat you to death or you can dig youring heels in you figure out how to you know you have to figure out yourself and then you you dig in and you fight keep showing up I'm tired keep showing up I don't feel like it keep showing up I can't see any results keep showing up I don't know where to start just start do something take that first step every step you take adds and sooner or later you'll
look back and see that you're at the top of the staircase it doesn't matter if you can't see the top from where you are just know that if you keep climing if you keep learning how you can get to the next level you will soon be exactly where you need to be if you quit if you never start climing if you never take that first step you'll never get there and you'll forever live in regret life is going to be rough it's supposed to be painful but that's how you grow it's it's going to take
time but what's on the other side it's always worth it I've experienced my fair share of pain in my life just like every other adult in this church today wait I didn't just graduate with degrees I also graduated with an associates and abandonment with the Bachelors of Brokenness with the masters of misery a PhD of pain and a doctrine of depression like life can be rough but I kept putting the work in and I said this will not Define me this very thing I'm experiencing will refine me and that's how you go to the next
level so if you really want to experience Next Level living embrace the pain Embrace adversity embrace the challenges that come your way for those things are always working for your good some of you don't even realize you have un finished business you need to go back where you left off with A New Perspective go back to the gym go back to the drawing board go back to the business go back to the relationship go back to the burning building you have unfinished business all you got to do and show up with a new game plan
and A New Perspective you got to finish business you there Comes A Time in life more often than not for most of you where you got to deal with pain with tough times with heartache these times are designed to make or break you when something bad happens in life our common respons is to ask questions like why me why do bad things always happen to good people now I'd love to tell you that pain won't come in your life but I can't I'd love to tell you that you can go through life without disappointment but
I can't now I'd love to tell you that you'll go through life without any heartache but I [Music] can't just know that if you hold your ground and push through pain you will become [Music] stronger diamonds ain't formed on soft sandy beach somewhere they're formed in the toughest most intense most dangerous place on Earth under pressure you couldn't even imagine under tension under pain this is where diamonds are formed all life demands struggle most people think life comes with privileges not problems promises not pain but those who have everything given to them don't appreciate [
__ ] they become lazy selfish to the real values in life the hard work and the struggle that you face now is the main ingredient for who you'll become tomorrow I know know that until you make a decision that you no longer want to feel how you feel or you no longer want to think the way that you think or you no longer want to have the kind of results or no results that you have until you make that decision that you know what I know I don't feel great I know I doubt myself I
know I've had a lot of bad things happen I know there's a lot that I regret but damn it with the time that I have left in my life I really want to start to enjoy myself I I want to take better care of myself I want to feel happy you don't even have to believe you deserve it yet you can just want it you've got to start there you've got to start with wanting something better for yourself and then I personally think the most important thing is to start acting like the person who has
the things that you want right now even though you what if this work this energy I've invested doesn't pay off What If I Stay average what if my story was never meant to be unique what if I try and I fail what if my friends stop calling what if I let my family down what if people don't like what I have to say what if my idea is a little too out there what if I'm pushing things too far too quickly what if the worst possible scenario happens what if I lose everything what if success
is for someone else what if I'm meant to work to pay bills and to sleep what if the starting role is just too much for me what if I was a born follower what if I never find happiness what if I don't choose the right path what if I get lost what if I can never be as good as the person standing next to me what if a life of meaning will always be something I'll have to stare up at wishing Dreaming or what if I just change the way I look at the world what
if today is just the beginning what if I decide who I'm going to be and become it what if my actions can create a ripple effect that will transcend space and time what if impossible isn't fact what if it's opinion and what if I don't buy it what if this new world means that existence starts with me what if I can be the one people look up to what if my past got me here but has no effect on where I can go what if every single day is a fresh start what if I can
be the one who defies the odds what if my dream dreams become the standard what if my ideas change how people see reality what if the term difficult is nothing more than a copout what if my doubters ignite the flame that is my success what if my fear of mediocrity overcomes my fear of the unknown what if second place is no longer an option what if I make the choice to live every second second of my life like it's a miracle and what if that's exactly what every second is what if it's time to start
living like it to start thinking like it to never sell myself short what if nothing good happens until I believe it what if I stopped wasting my time trying to convince others because I am the only one who must be convinced two key wordss delayed gratification I have box I want to want to be like a national level boxer or any Endeavor at all you got to be kind of content with doing the exact same thing basically day after day after day and making reasonable progress the more impatient somebody is and like 99% of any
cool sh that anybody does ever usually takes a lot of preparation and practice and just repetitive action to get good at break the plate take the shot get rejected because when you do that then again the worst case is you have a broken plate but you didn't like that plate to begin with I want everything I'm supposed to get so some of you right now you got dreams and aspirations those things will come true some of you sitting in front of me right now you're not really sure what you want to do and where you
going to go on life let me tell you something you work on being the absolute best version you can be of yourself and everything else is going to fall on the plate I'm with you but in the back of my mind all I'm thinking about is all the times I could have won those matches that I lost by not bringing my best mindset you're haunted by all the opportunities that you missed by not bringing your best at that time when you could have won but you didn't win because you allowed life to interfere with that
one shot let those challenges raise you up let them Elevate you let their demands and their trials make you stronger let the adversity you face today turn you into a better person tomorrow admit it you unlike them you're not even close you may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them watch the same mindless television shows as they do maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes but it seems that the more you try to fit in the more you feel like an outsider most people never pick up the phone and call most people never
ask and that's what separates sometimes the people that do things from the people that just dream about them you got to you got to act and you've got to be uh willing to um fail you've got to be willing to crash and burn you know with people on the phone with starting a company with whatever if you're afraid of failing you won't get very far a lot of it is in action most people just don't take action to begin with and so I think a lot of it's between their ears um to your point which
is why I talk a lot about fear failure um being being the actual enemy rather than failure itself and really even like even the idea that people are like I'm afraid of failing no one's afraid of failing people are afraid of other people's judgment about their failure if you could fail in private no one would know like when you play video games and you lose the level you're not embarrassed if you are consistent and you have none of the other attributes he's like it's you still might be successful he's like it's it's very tough for
people who are consistent to not be successful and he makes an especially pointed point about consistency because in my opinion it's one of the most difficult of the virtues for humans to do because we're so attracted to novelty your problem is not technology the problem is you you lack the will to change so it was only when your world was threatened with destruction that you became what you are now you say we're on the brink of Destruction and you're right but it's only on the brink that people find the will to change only at the
precipice do we evolve there was no Escape there was no one who was going to come to save me and there was I couldn't blame my dad I couldn't blame my mom I was the one who had chosen this life but the alternative was that I had to go back to my father of failure if it was easy everyone would do it life is hard as I've grown to become the person I am now I've noticed that life just simply isn't easy and there's no way around [Music] it I just want you to know that
I fa so much more than I succeed without failure in life there's no success I want you to recognize that choosing yourself and growing to become someone that you aspire to be isn't easy [Music] it's not supposed to be but I will tell you I will choose this suffering this challenging lifestyle every single time it's easy to go out and party it's easy to lay in bed all day and not do [ __ ] to watch movies all day to have the same exact routine that isn't helping you anywhere if you want it bad enough
you won't quit struggle is just part of the process anything in life that you have to work for is far more rewarding than once received Success is Not final failure is not fatal it's the courage to continue that counts the one mentality that you must have in life is that regardless of what's in front of you you still must grind I'll never be in the Olympics I'll never be professional athlete but still I grind I fail at most things I do but still I grind I don't want to do half the [ __ ] I
do but still I grind we are all being tested in life while my test is different than yours you will be tested and how you face that test and how you overcome that test determines the rest of your life the one mentality that you must have in life is that regardless of what's in front of you you still must grind I can't quit I can't stop I can't get tired I can't give up I can't give in my mama counting on me my wife is counting on me listen to me when you want to succeed
as bad as you want to breathe when you ain't got nothing left in your take you got to think about the people in your life that you doing this for and then if you could think about them you could go one more mile you will go one more day at work if you look at anyone that's happy or successful in life it's because they know how to keep fear in check when you want something new and fear pipes up and tells you you can't have it you got to say yes I can when you want
to try something new and fear pipes up and tells you you shouldn't do it you got to say yes I should when you want to go somewhere new or be with someone new and fear pipes up and says you won't do it you got to say yes I will is somebody watching this right now and you smoking and you just sitting in your room and you just thinking everything is just going to be handed to you but I'm here to let you know bro you can't get nothing in this life unless you work for it
put that blunt down right now I don't care if you laughing I you got off work none of that you ain't worked hard enough put that joint down put that drink down until you get your work done until you elevate your life cuz you ain't seen this yet no we ain't got time to party we got time to work party comes later I told myself if I had to work till I'm 50 I'll party when I'm 51 [Music] they don't understand that type of mentality motivation and hustle this don't come with just smoking weeding sitting
in your room this comes with hard work dedication motivation inspiration to get out of your situation take patience not going to rest I'm going to keep on pushing now there a lot of answers that I don't have even questions that I don't have but I'm just going to keep going just going to keep going and I'll figure these things out as it go right and you just continue to build that way so that I try to live by that all the time the pain of discipline or the pain of regret uh go for the discipline
because it weighs ounces uh the regret weighs tons M because it can accumulate keep going because there's people that don't want to see you succeed keep going because you want to prove those people wrong you want to knock the naysayers down you want to make them your foot stol and every day the same answer came back to me do you want to be on your deathbed knowing that you could but you didn't it's all about Focus I don't care who you are where you're from doesn't matter it's having a focus and and and having a
purpose right you wake up every single day to get better today than you were yesterday it doesn't matter what you are you're basketball player hockey player golf player painter right do matter right you try to reach your full potential by getting better every single day and it's hard nothing is easy nothing just like oh I wake up and I just do this or I do that or it just know I watch people every day go through life and it's so easy for me to be where I'm at today it takes every bit of me if
you want to change your life you must change your ways you must develop discipline you must develop strength it doesn't matter where you are in life it really doesn't because the great thing about life is it's always your next move your next move that counts the quote and the phrase that I'm using is lock the in I'm talking to you lock the in we don't have time for any of the [ __ ] hard work looks horrible it's not motivating it's not motivating at all ain't like Rocky round 14 he gets knocked down and goes
like this to Apollo Creed looks like a man being stuck in a dungeon and there's no way out you know what to do why aren't you doing it I'm telling you to keep going when you face opposition I'm telling you to keep going when you face adversity I'm telling you to keep going because it's when you have nothing left it's when you depleted all your money when all your energy gone when you have nothing left that's when it's showtime when you find a way out of nowhere when you find wrath that you don't have when
you find energy that did not exist when you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe that's when you find a way I'm doing what I do every day to become a human being and so nothing is easy like running is running it sucks but you have a choice to make do you want to sit down and go back to that guy you once were no so this is what it takes and where you are right now it's just the beginning and there was so much more that you would have an experience there
was so much more that you're supposed to have everything that you attain to have you can have it but all you got to do is stand up and say I want success stand up and say I want value stand up and say I want to have an impact and me everything that this school and my family has prepared me to be but more importantly be everything that I've been created and called to be and when you do that my young friends I will see you at the top how you gain mental toughness how you become
the person you want to be is constantly facing the things that you don't want to face a reminder for the Gladiators in the arena who feel beat up and scarred with no hope in sight building a business is hard hard feels this is what hard feels like and this is why most people can't do it but you can this is what hard feels like think about it man we know what to do we don't need angre huberman to tell us what to do we know what to do every one of us turn your feelings off
when it comes down to you wanting to be better what that means is when that alarm clock goes off your feelings got to go away if you want to achieve greatness and greatness is only achieved your feelings have to go away you just got to weather it and keep on walking and no Flinch don't let them know they got you don't let them know they got you you just got to keep on going no matter what the day is no matter what the move is keep going God gave us everything to point forward to go
forward and what we doing at a stand still a stepping back CU we don't do that we keep on walking regardless of what they say what they think and how they feel so why do you care about what people are thinking when they're not trying to go where the they're trying to go it's you so you better figure out who the you are and those few people who don't many people don't like you so be it but you first had to figure out you because a lot of people die with a lot of untapped potential
because they're trying to be somebody that they're not yeah so I was able to figure out my own potential by figuring out me don't follow what most people do because you don't want the results that most people get the average person is obese likely to be divorced and has less than 1K in the bank it feels safe to do what everyone else is doing but it's actually a terrible decision you were created it to reach your destiny you have the power and the ability to reach your destiny so keep going because I'm a worrior I
go to the core nothing crushes me nothing doesn't even come close and if it does I rise again and again and again let me be very clear I'll never give up never
