it's finally about you man when was the last time that it was like that I mean we we give so much and you know I can say we because I I I once did that you know we give so much to people we want to really help to see people win we want to see people grow we want to see people evolve but we got to grow we got to do what we got to do we got to evolve so I give yall a story time I was in the Discord voice chat today and we
were speaking it was like 30 of us deep it was a great conversation you know people coming in and out but in the Discord if you want to join Down Below in the Discord one of our brothers was speaking about how he was ready to work out man since the early morning and he has this friend who lives you know close by and he's out here playing you know bball he playing basketball um like 2K you know playing on the game not in real life y'all he playing on the game so he's playing like 2K
he's playing whatever on his PlayStation and uh you know our Purpose Driven brother calls his friend he's like hey bro we we ready like it it it's time to go to this gym it's time to put in this work it's time to run this mile or you are you coming with and you know usually he tries to get him involved and do it together and uh the friend told him yeah I'll get to it man like I I you know I'll call you back when I'm ready and stuff like that and then so he calls
him back one more time and he's like hey bro you know if you not ready bro in a couple you know minutes man like I'mma have to do it without you and he hangs up and I told him you know and it hurt him to do that because it's like I want to see him win you know he has goals for himself too and I've been motivating him and he's been doing a little bit of work but you know he ain't really locking in the way he need to lock in and I told him I
said bro you did the right thing where you know you got to you got to go to that gym and put in that work you can't wait on nothing you can't wait on no man you feel what I'm saying we can't wait on no other man in order to change our life we got to do the work we got to put in the work and we can't save everybody we can't help everybody that's not our jurisdiction you feel what I'm saying we can only Inspire and so I told him I told him I said actions
speak louder than words and so hopefully the action that you're putting forth in order to change your life and do the things that you need to do hopefully he can see that and be inspired and be encouraged but we think because if we're trying to drag people with us to go to the gym with us or we're trying to drag people with us in order to self-improve with us that you know we're doing God's work and the truth is that's not necessarily God's work doing God's work and being the best version of yourself is making
sure that you're finally focusing on you it's making sure that you're finally focusing on you and focusing on the things that you got to do in order to get you to where you want to go and you're going to end up being inspiration to everybody else because everybody else is going to realize man I got to get my stuff together man I got to get locked in man look at his life look what he's doing the best thing that we could do for people is be an example I can't talk on the phone all day
and and try to encourage you and say hey let's go let's go let's go it's like I'mma just show you I'mma pop out and show you you going to see my physique and you going to say okay he ain't he ain't playing around you know you can see the muscles through the mud sweater you can see the muscles through the sweater man and that and that's what it's about you know we can't we can't we can't help everybody man you know people have to want to help themselves first you can't want it you can't want
it more than he wants it for himself you feel what I'm saying you can't want him to lose the weight more than he wants to lose the weight you can't want your friends to win as bad as they want to win they have to want it because they're the ones that have to look in the mirror and make the changes that they need to make in their daily lives so again we try to help people we try to put people on but at the end of the day it's up to us to put ourselves on
it's up it's up to us to finally look out for us and finally focus on ourselves and he said I'm going to finally focus on me I'm going to lock in I'm going to be on a whole different level and I just didn't want to do that cuz I didn't want to pass him that's what he said he said I I didn't want to pass him you feel what I'm saying he said I didn't want to pass him I wanted us to do this together but that's not how it works that's not that's not how
it works sometimes man people going to get past and hopefully that could be a motivation for them a inspiration for them not everybody's going to make it to where we going you locked in you doing the things you need to do that's what it's going to be I'm out here making videos bro it's cold I cannot feel my hands but I gotta show up for my people this is what I love to do I'm showing up each and every day every day God wakes me up I'm going to show gratitude for the fact that I'm
in this position to motivate and Inspire somebody on the other side of this camera so that's what I'm going to do with no excuses and because people are saying that oh it's cold it's cold maybe they not dropping the video today but I am it's all about how bad you want it how bad you want that body how bad you want that physique how bad you want to win how bad you want a better life how bad you want it and the truth is everybody got different levels of what they want in life everybody got
different things that they want in life so everybody's going to put in a different amount of effort when you're Purpose Driven you understand that you have one opportunity each and every day that you're alive is that one opportunity in order to change your life you don't want to waste it you don't want to waste it sitting down playing video games you want to make it happen you want to make things happen but that's what happened to our brother today and he was sitting down and he was sad because he didn't want to pass him up
cuz he knew once he really takes it serious and once he really locks in and once he ain't holding his hand no more trying to elevate him he's like a rocket going up into the sky without all the extra baggage he starts flying Higher and Higher and I told him I said maybe he'll catch up to you but the best thing you can do for him is being the best version of yourself the best thing you can do for him is showing what it means to be like in showing what it means to go to
the gym showing what it means to be focused showing what it means to be Purpose Driven that's the best thing you could do for him you can't do nothing else for him and we try to do everything for everybody we try to help everybody man but we can't do that we got to focus on us it's time for us to elevate it's time for us to truly lock in it's time for us to focus on ourselves it's time for you to focus on you what do you like what you don't like what movies you like
what movies you don't like what food you like what food you don't like going to the theaters by yourself going on solo dates there's nothing wrong with that as especially as men we have to figure out what we want for purpose-- driven men we have to figure out what we like in this life but that goes for everybody men women everybody that's watching you have to figure out what you want in your life you have to figure out what you like but people Force themselves in relationships what does that do it can be it can
be great but if you're forcing it that might be stopping you from the growth that you needed to see in your own personal life now you taking care of somebody else you have to be ready for that you have to be ready for that don't force yourself into that don't force yourself into these situations you have to be ready are you ready that's really what it comes down to are you truly ready are you ready and there's a lot of people they say that they're ready but they're not ready they're not ready for a relationship
and that's why you haven't gotten one that's why you haven't seen one cuz you simply just not ready you haven't seen one cuz you just not ready but you forcing it I'm forcing it I'm on Tinder forcing it I'm on Tinder forcing it I'm forcing it I'm forcing it I'm forcing a relationship even though I'm not ready for it I'm forcing it I'm forcing it my name's Dexter and I'm forcing it my name's Travis and I'm forcing it don't force relationships you got to lock in on your purpose you got to lock in on what
matters you got to lock in on what matters you got to focus on you if a relationship comes that's great man that might be the wifey that might be the one that's great that that could be a blessing from God all I'm saying is we have to be locked in though that's all I'm saying man like we got to be locked in man we got to be focusing on the things that we need to focus on in order to change our lives but instead we keep getting distracted we keep focusing on everything else focusing on
social media focusing on what other people are doing focusing on trying to help everybody man you gota you got to help yourself you got to focus on yourself you got to focus on what you doing you focused on everybody else but you got to focus on you cuz that's how we see the changes that we want to see in our life you know I think there's a lot of there's a lot of people they could be Purpose Driven but they they focused on Gossip there's a lot of people they could be Purpose Driven but they
don't understand the power of consistency and showing up each and every day even if it ain't perfect they don't understand the power of that there's a lot of people that could make their dreams come true but they really just don't want it that bad they really not locked in they can't be in the cold like we in the cold putting in the work there's a lot of people that say they want the life that you got but they can never put the work in that you put in in order to get to where you at
there's a lot of people that say a lot of things that do a lot of things but it's never really purposeful it never really adds up to much because they're not driven because they're not focused because they don't have a definite of purpose and because they're not focusing on themselves they're focusing on everything else so they're doing everything else other than the work that needs to get done the work that needs to get done building that relationship with God going to the gym journaling focusing on the things that matter writing down your goals you know
for the day asking yourself how you want your life to be what do you actually want to do what do you want your purpose to be figuring out what you want your life to look like doesn't matter what age you are it doesn't matter what age you are you could be 90 you still need to figure out what your purpose is and what you want to do on this Earth before you leave what impact you want to make sometimes the impact you need to make listen sometimes the impact you need to make is putting in
the work and leaving everybody else focusing on you and leading by example it's not that you don't love people you love people but you have to lead by example you were chosen to be the leader and when you're chosen to be the leader remember a lot of people in your hometown is not going to understand why you do what you do right A lot of people in your hometown is not going to understand why you do what you do a lot of people in your life is not going to understand why you do what you
do but you have to understand why you do what you do you have to understand your work ethic you have to understand why you putting in this work you have to understand why you putting in the effort you have to know what you doing they not going to understand what you're doing they're not going to understand why you're out here in the cold in 30° weather making a video because this could be the video that changes somebody's life this could be the video that makes them locked in this could be the video that changes the
whole trajectory of their life this could be the video that they've been waiting for that's why I'm out here in 30° weather that's why I'm showing up each and every day don't do this work if you can't do this work everybody want to do what you do but they can't do what you do everybody say that they locked in but they not really locked in everybody say they want to win but they can't do the things that they need to do in order to win everybody say they want to be fit but when it comes
to doing the work they don't want to do the work in order to be fit everybody want to be healthy but they don't want to eat healthy everybody want to live but nobody willing to die you got to put the work in I said everybody want to live but nobody's willing to die it's the same philosophy across the board if you want a better life you have to do better things you have to put in better actionable steps you got to put this work in you got to lock in you got to go out here
