It’s comeback season bro.

I don't care what happened to you. I don't care if you lost your job. I don't care if your business failed.

I don't care if people betrayed you. I don't care if your relationship ended. I don't care if you're broke right now.

I don't care if you feel like you're at rock bottom. None of that matters. What matters is what you do next.

What matters is whether you're going to stay down there feeling sorry for yourself or if you're going to get up and show the world what you're really made of. See, when you're down, that's when you find out who you really are. That's when the mask comes off.

That's when all the fake confidence disappears. That's when you're forced to look at yourself in the mirror and decide if you're really about what you say you're about. Most people fail that test.

Most people look in the mirror and they don't like what they see, so they look away. They avoid it. They distract themselves.

They go back to their comfort zone. But not you. Not anymore.

This is comeback season. And that means you're going to look at that mirror every single day and you're going to face the truth about where you are and where you need to go. You know what the beautiful thing about being at the bottom is?

You can't go any lower. You've already hit rock bottom. The only direction left is up.

And when you start climbing from the bottom, every single step is progress. Every single day is a win. Every single choice to keep going is a victory.

People who've never been down don't understand this. They don't know what it's like to have nothing and build something. They don't know what it's like to be counted out and prove everyone wrong.

They don't know the hunger that comes from losing everything. Let me tell you about hunger. Real hunger.

Not the kind where you want something. The kind where you need it. The kind where it's eat or die.

The kind where failure is not an option because you've already been there and you're never going back. That's the hunger that fuels comebacks. That's the hunger that wakes you up at 4 in the morning.

That's the hunger that keeps you working when everyone else is sleeping. That's the hunger that makes you unstoppable. And you've got that hunger right now.

I know you do. I can feel it. You're tired of being down.

You're tired of people looking at you with pity. You're tired of being the one who failed. You're tired of your current situation.

You're sick of it. It makes you want to throw up. Good.

Use that. Channel that disgust into action. Let that sick feeling in your stomach be the thing that drives you every single day.

This comeback isn't going to be easy. Let me make that clear right now. It's going to be the hardest thing you've ever done.

There are going to be days when you want to quit. There are going to be days when you question if it's worth it. There are going to be days when you feel like you're not making any progress.

There are going to be days when the doubters get loud again. There are going to be days when you doubt yourself. But on those days, you need to remember why you started.

You need to remember what it felt like to be down. You need to remember that you never want to go back there again. See, most people think a comeback is about getting back to where you were.

Wrong. A comeback is about becoming better than you ever were. It's about using everything you learned from failing to build something stronger.

It's about taking all that pain and all that struggle and turning it into wisdom. It's about proving to yourself that you're capable of more than you ever imagined. This isn't about getting back to your old life.

This is about creating a new life that's so much better that your old life looks like a practice round. You want to know what separates the people who make comebacks from the people who stay down forever? It's simple.

The people who make comebacks take responsibility. They don't blame anyone. They don't make excuses.

They look at their situation and they say, "I did this. I let this happen and I'm going to fix it. " Personal responsibility is the foundation of every comeback.

If you're sitting there blaming your boss, blaming your ex, blaming the economy, blaming your parents, blaming society, then you're never making a comeback. Because as long as you're blaming other people, you're giving them power over your life. Take that power back.

Say, "It was my fault and I'm going to fix it. I don't care if it wasn't your fault. I don't care if you got a bad break.

I don't care if someone screwed you over. I don't care if life dealt you a terrible hand. Take responsibility anyway.

Because when you take responsibility, you take control. And when you have control, you have power. And when you have power, you can change anything.

Let me tell you something else about comebacks. They're lonely. Nobody is coming to save you.

Your family might support you, but they can't do the work for you. Your friends might encourage you, but they can't make the sacrifices for you. This is your journey, and you're going to walk it alone.

And that's good. That's how it should be. Because when you do this alone, when you climb out of that hole by yourself, when you build yourself back up with your own two hands, nobody can ever take that away from you.

Nobody can ever say you didn't earn it. Nobody can ever say you got lucky. They're going to have to respect what you did because they're going to know you did it all by yourself.

Right now, while you're reading this, there are people who are in the same situation you're in. They lost just like you lost. They failed just like you failed.

They're down just like you're down. But here's the difference. 6 months from now, a year from now, 5 years from now, they're going to still be down.

They're going to still be making excuses. They're going to still be blaming other people. They're going to still be waiting for their big break, but not you.

You're going to be on top. You're going to be living proof that comebacks are real. You're going to be the example that other people point to and say, "If they can do it, I can do it, too.

" But that only happens if you start today. Not tomorrow. Not next week.

Not when you feel ready. today, right now, this moment. Because here's the thing about comeback season.

It doesn't wait for you to feel ready. It doesn't wait for perfect conditions. It doesn't wait for you to have all the answers.

It starts the moment you decide it starts. And every day you wait is another day you're still down. Every day you make excuses is another day someone else is passing you.

Every day you stay comfortable is another day you're betraying the person you're supposed to become. So, what does the beginning of comeback season look like? It looks like you getting up earlier than you ever have.

It looks like you working harder than you ever have. It looks like you learning more than you ever have. It looks like you being more disciplined than you ever have.

It looks like you being more focused than you ever have. It looks like you saying no to everything that doesn't serve your goal. It looks like you cutting off people who drain your energy.

It looks like you becoming obsessed with getting better every single day. People are going to call you crazy. Let them.

People are going to say you're doing too much. Let them. People are going to tell you to relax and take it easy.

Ignore them. Those are the same people who are going to be stuck in the same place 5 years from now wondering why their life never changed. You don't have time for their opinions.

You don't have energy for their negativity. You're on a mission. You're in comeback season.

And nothing and nobody is going to stop you. Here's what I need you to understand. The comeback is already inside you.

It's already there. You already have everything you need to rise again. You don't need more resources.

You don't need more connections. You don't need more luck. You need more heart.

You need more discipline. You need more consistency. You need more belief in yourself.

Everything else is just an excuse. Think about this. There are people who started with less than you and built empires.

There are people who faced worse situations than you and overcame them. There are people who had every reason to quit and they kept going. What made them different?

They decided that their comeback was going to happen no matter what. They decided that failure was not an option. They decided that they would rather die trying than live knowing they gave up.

That's the mentality you need right now. And let me tell you what's going to happen when you commit to this comeback. At first, nothing is going to change.

You're going to work hard for days, maybe weeks. and it's going to feel like you're getting nowhere. You're going to be putting in all this effort and you're not going to see results.

This is where most people quit. They work for 2 weeks and when they don't see massive results, they say, "This isn't working. " And they give up.

Don't be that person. Understand that comebacks take time. Understand that you're building a foundation.

Understand that the work you're putting in today might not pay off for months, but it will pay off if you keep going. There's going to come a day when you wake up and you realize you're not at the bottom anymore. You're going to look around and see that you've made progress.

You're going to feel different. You're going to carry yourself different. People are going to start noticing that something has changed about you.

And that's when you know the comeback is real. That's when you know all that work you put in when nobody was watching is starting to pay off. That's when you know you're on your way back up.

But here's the trap. When you start seeing a little bit of success, there's a temptation to relax. There's a temptation to celebrate too early.

There's a temptation to think you've made it. Don't fall for that. That little bit of success is just the beginning.

That's not the destination. That's just proof that what you're doing is working. That's just confirmation that you need to keep going even harder.

The people who make real comebacks don't stop when they get back to where they were. They keep going until they're higher than they've ever been. Let me tell you about the moment when your comeback becomes undeniable.

It's the moment when the same people who doubted you start asking you for advice. It's the moment when the same people who laughed at you start saying they always believed in you. It's the moment when the same people who counted you out start trying to take credit for your success.

And in that moment, you're going to have a choice. You can be bitter about how they treated you when you were down. Or you can be grateful that their doubt gave you fuel.

Choose gratitude. Choose to be the bigger person because your comeback isn't about proving them wrong. It's about proving yourself right.

You need to fall in love with the process. You need to fall in love with the grind. You need to fall in love with waking up before the sun and working until after it sets.

You need to fall in love with the sacrifice. You need to fall in love with choosing the hard path over the easy one. Because if you only love the results, you're going to quit when things get hard.

But if you love the process, if you love the journey, if you love the struggle, then you'll keep going no matter what. And that's what separates the people who make comebacks from the people who just talk about making comebacks. Every single day, you need to ask yourself one question.

Did I do everything I could today to move closer to my comeback? Not did I do some things? Not did I try a little bit?

Did I do everything? Did I give it everything I had? Did I leave it all on the field?

Because if the answer is no, then you're not serious about your comeback. You're just playing around. You're just wasting time.

And time is the one thing you can't get back. Every day you waste is a day you could have been building. Every day you're lazy is a day someone else is getting ahead of you.

Every day you make excuses is a day you're choosing to stay down. Here's a hard truth. Some people are going to enjoy watching you struggle.

Some people are going to hope you fail again. Some people want to see you stay down because your success makes them feel bad about themselves. They look at you trying to make a comeback and it reminds them that they quit.

It reminds them that they gave up. It reminds them that they settled and they can't handle that. So, they want you to fail, too.

Don't give them that satisfaction. Use their negativity as fuel. Every time someone doubts you, work harder.

Every time someone laughs, prove them wrong. Every time someone says you can't, show them you can. The greatest revenge is massive success.

It's not arguing with them. It's not trying to convince them. It's not proving them wrong with words.

It's proving them wrong with results. It's building a life so good that they can't ignore it. It's achieving things so big that they have to acknowledge it.

It's becoming so successful that when people mention your name, they have to put respect on it. That's the revenge you should be working towards. Not petty revenge, not talking about them, not trying to make them feel bad, just pure, undeniable, unstoppable success.

And let me tell you what's going to happen when you succeed. The same people who doubted you are going to pretend they never did. The same people who laughed are going to act like they were always in your corner.

The same people who said you couldn't do it are going to act like they knew you would all along. And you know what? Let them.

Because you know the truth. You know who was really there. You know who really believed.

You know who really supported you. And more importantly, you know that you did this. You made this comeback happen.

Nobody can take that away from you. But I'm going to be real with you about something. Not everyone is going to make it back.

Not everyone who talks about making a comeback is actually going to do it. Some people are going to read this and feel motivated for about 10 minutes and then go right back to their old habits. Some people are going to start strong and quit when it gets hard.

Some people are going to make excuses. Some people are going to blame their circumstances. Some people are going to wait for the perfect moment that never comes.

Don't be one of those people. Be the one who actually does it. Be the one who proves that comebacks are possible.

Be the one who inspires others because you didn't just talk about it. You lived it. You want to know the secret to making a comeback?

There is no secret. It's simple. It's not easy, but it's simple.

You work harder than you ever have. You stay more consistent than you ever have. You believe in yourself more than you ever have.

You refuse to quit no matter what happens. You take responsibility for everything. You stop making excuses.

You stop blaming other people. You stop waiting for things to get easier. You just get stronger.

You just get better. You just keep moving forward. one day at a time until one day you look up and realize you're not at the bottom anymore.

You're back on top. And this time you're staying there because you know what it took to get back. Let me talk to you about discipline for a minute.

Motivation is going to get you started, but discipline is going to keep you going. There are going to be days when you don't feel motivated. There are going to be days when you're tired.

There are going to be days when you'd rather stay in bed. There are going to be days when you don't want to do the work. On those days, motivation isn't going to help you.

On those days, you need discipline. Discipline is doing what needs to be done even when you don't feel like doing it. Discipline is showing up even when you're tired.

Discipline is working even when you don't want to. Discipline is the difference between people who make comebacks and people who just dream about them. Build discipline like you build muscle.

Start small and increase over time. Start by doing one hard thing every day. Just one.

Maybe it's waking up early. Maybe it's working out. Maybe it's studying.

Maybe it's working on your business. Just one hard thing. Do it every single day.

No matter how you feel. After a week, add another hard thing. After another week, add another.

Keep building. Keep stacking disciplines on top of each other. Before you know it, you'll be someone who does hard things naturally.

You'll be someone who doesn't need motivation. You'll be someone who just gets it done no matter what. And here's something nobody tells you about comebacks.

They're not linear. You're not going to improve every single day. Some days you're going to feel like you're going backwards.

Some days you're going to make mistakes. Some days you're going to fail. That's normal.

That's part of the process. Don't let it discourage you. Don't let it make you quit.

Just acknowledge it. Learn from it and keep moving forward. The path to the top is never a straight line.

It's messy. It's chaotic. It's full of setbacks and obstacles.

But if you keep going, if you refuse to quit, you will get there. Think about a fighter who gets knocked down in the ring. They have two choices.

Stay down and lose, or get back up and keep fighting. Every single time you face a setback, you're that fighter. Every time you fail, you're that fighter.

Every time something goes wrong, you're that fighter. And every single time, you have the same choice. stay down or get back up.

The people who make comebacks are the ones who always choose to get back up always. No matter how many times they get knocked down, no matter how hard the hit was, they get back up. That needs to be you.

No matter what happens, you get back up. Let me tell you about the voice in your head. That voice that tells you to quit.

That voice that tells you it's too hard. That voice that tells you you're not good enough. That voice that tells you to just give up and accept your situation.

Everyone has that voice. The difference between winners and losers is winners tell that voice to shut up and keep going anyway. That voice is a liar.

That voice is fear trying to protect you from failure. But here's the thing. You've already failed.

You're already down. That voice is trying to protect you from something that already happened. Don't listen to it.

Tell it to be quiet and keep pushing forward. Replace that negative voice with a positive one. Start talking to yourself like you're your own best friend.

Start encouraging yourself. Start telling yourself you can do this. Start reminding yourself why you started.

Start celebrating small wins. Start being your own biggest supporter. Because at the end of the day, the relationship you have with yourself is the most important relationship you'll ever have.

If you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will. If you don't support yourself, nobody else will. If you don't push yourself, nobody else will.

You are your own foundation. Make it strong. Here's what I want you to do right now.

I want you to make a decision. Not tomorrow, not next week, right now. Decide that you're going to make this comeback happen.

Decide that failure is not an option. Decide that you're going to do whatever it takes. Decide that you're never going back to the bottom.

Decide that this is your time. Decide that comeback season starts today. And once you make that decision, commit to it with everything you have.

Don't second guessess it. Don't doubt it. Don't question it.

Just commit and execute. Write down your goals. Be specific.

Don't say, "I want to be successful. " Say exactly what success looks like for you. What do you want to achieve?

How much money do you want to make? What kind of life do you want to live? What kind of person do you want to become?

Be detailed. Be clear. And then write down what you're going to do every single day to make those goals happen.

Break it down into daily actions. Because goals without action are just dreams and dreams without execution are just fantasies. You need a plan.

You need a strategy. You need daily actions that move you closer to your goals. And then here's the most important part.

Execute that plan every single day. Not when you feel like it. Not when it's convenient.

every single day. Even on bad days, even on hard days, even on days when you don't see progress, execute the plan. Trust the process.

Believe in the journey. Know that if you keep showing up and doing the work, results will come. They have to.

It's a law of nature. Consistent action produces results. It might not happen as fast as you want.

It might not happen the way you expect, but it will happen if you keep going. You need to understand something about time. Time is going to pass anyway.

A year from now is going to come whether you work towards your comeback or not. The question is, where do you want to be when that year arrives? Do you want to be in the same place you are now?

Do you want to be making the same excuses? Do you want to still be talking about making a comeback someday? Or do you want to be living proof that comebacks are real?

You want to be the person who actually did it. The choice is yours, but the time is going to pass either way. Use it wisely.

Let me talk about sacrifice for a minute. You're going to have to give up some things to make this comeback happen. You're going to have to sacrifice time with friends.

You're going to have to sacrifice partying. You're going to have to sacrifice sleeping in. You're going to have to sacrifice comfort.

You're going to have to sacrifice instant gratification. And that's hard. That's really hard because humans are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain.

We want the easy path. We want the comfortable life. We want to have fun right now.

But here's the truth. You can have fun now and struggle later, or you can sacrifice now and win later. You can't have both.

You have to choose. Most people choose fun now. They choose the easy path.

They choose comfort. And then they wonder why their life never changes. They wonder why they're still stuck.

They wonder why everyone else is passing them by. It's because they weren't willing to make the sacrifice. They weren't willing to do what was necessary.

Don't be like most people. Be willing to sacrifice. Be willing to give up temporary pleasure for permanent success.

And here's the beautiful thing about sacrifice. It's temporary. The pain of discipline is temporary.

The pain of sacrifice is temporary. But the pain of regret lasts forever. Every day you waste is a day you can't get back.

Every opportunity you don't take is one you might never get again. Every time you choose comfort over growth, you're choosing to stay where you are. You know what's going to happen when you start making this comeback.

People are going to notice. They're going to see you changing. They're going to see you working hard.

They're going to see you being disciplined. And some of them aren't going to like it. Some of them are going to try to pull you back down.

They're going to invite you to parties you don't have time for. They're going to mock you for working so hard. They're going to tell you you're doing too much.

They're going to try to make you feel bad for bettering yourself. These are crabs in a bucket. When one crab tries to climb out, the others pull it back down.

Don't let them pull you back down. Keep climbing. Keep rising.

Leave them in the bucket if you have to. Real friends will support your comeback. Real friends will encourage you.

Real friends will understand when you say no to hanging out because you have work to do. Real friends will celebrate your wins with you. If someone in your life can't do that, they're not really your friend.

They're just someone who wants you to stay on their level. Let them go. You can't bring everyone with you on your journey.

Some people are meant to be in your life for a season, and that season might be over. Focus on the people who believe in you. Focus on the people who support you.

Focus on the people who push you to be better. Those are your real friends. Let me tell you what's waiting for you on the other side of this comeback.

Freedom. Real freedom. Not the fake freedom of doing whatever you want.

The real freedom of being whoever you want. The freedom of not worrying about money. The freedom of living life on your terms.

The freedom of waking up excited about your day. The freedom of being proud of who you are. The freedom of knowing you overcame the impossible.

That's what's waiting for you. But you have to earn it. You have to work for it.

You have to sacrifice for it. Nothing worth having comes easy.
