Vince Lombardi said, the harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. At the end of the day, the person that will surrender is the person that didn't work as hard as the other person. You got to work harder than the other person.
So just when you felt like you did that last rep and your muscles are saying, I can't do no more reps. You say, yeah, you got to do one more. 'Cause right now, he might be doing five more.
While you quitting and giving up? While you saying, alright, I did enough, it's time to rest, he might just be getting in his zone. In order for you to go from one level to the next level, in order for any woman to transition, for any man to transition, the thing that they want must be greater than the thing they currently have.
Humans do not transition to another level when they're comfortable with the level that they're on. 'Cause you're thinking right now like, I want a better home, I want a better car, I want a better family. No, that's what you say with your mouth.
That's what you say to make yourself feel good about yourself. Because you don't get out of life what you want, you get out of life who you are. Everybody likes the idea of success.
Everybody wants to have millions of dollars in their bank account. But going out and doing those things, going out and building a plan backwards from that point that you want to be and going through the day to day to day actions of building that, you don't love that idea. You like the idea of success, as long as it's f*cking easy.
As long as it doesn't take dedication. As long as it doesn't take you having to do things that you don't feel like doing when you don't feel like doing them. You need to decide if you're in love with the idea of success or if you're in love with success.
You only transition from one level to the next when you tired of the level you on. You can stop at that level or you can go, I want more levels. I want more f*cking levels.
When you start losing, it becomes a habit. That's what's dangerous. And it doesn't just affect you.
Now your children and your children's children are going to be broke. Winners win and losers lose. And if you create a culture of losing, if you keep being a victim, if you keep letting people do you and treat you any kind of way, it's going to become our culture.
Life happens to everybody, but winners approach it like victors and losers like victims. Winners win. Not because their circumstances change.
Not because they win the lottery. Not because they get this network. Winners win because they change their mentality from being a loser, a victim to being a victor.
And saying, I have what it takes. I've got the right mindset. I'm alive.
I can count on me. So if you're tired of losing and you're ready to win, you owe you to be a winner. If you're going to be the best, the cream of the crop, if you're going to be the apex, you got to be it, not talk about it.
You got to be it. It has to consume you. It has to take over you.
You're putting in work and just because you can't see the results, you want to quit or give up. I ain't never quit. I ain't never give up.
I ain't never give in. I just kept grinding. You putting in the work and the only reason you pissed, the only reason you quitting is not because you want to quit, because you keep looking up and you saying we 3 in, who cares what you are?
If you keep going, you're going to break through. The only people that don't break through is the people who scoreboard watching. You stopping working to look at yourself.
You're not grinding. You glaring. You should be grinding and you looking at the score.
The score is what it is. The score ain't about to change 'cause you looked at it. Keep playing the game.
Keep grinding. Keep working. And that other stuff will take care of itself.
And the process is not supposed to be comfortable. So if it hurts, if you feel like you're under heat, if you feel like you're being pressured, welcome to the big leagues. You got to do a lot of sh*t that nobody ever f*cking sees or thanks you for, or reward you for for a long f*cking time.
It's delayed gratification. If you do the work consistently, 1 plus 1 is always going to equal 2. 2 plus 2 is going to equal 4.
And 10 years of motherf*cking work, is going to pay off. The equation is always the same. Every single time, if you do it right, you're going to get the same answer.
And most of y'all are crying. "I'm ready to quit" "'cause I put in some time. " You might have put in some time, but you didn't put in the time.
The time that's required to make your dreams become a reality. You can't shortcut success. Ain't no days off.
You think 'cause you sick, you can quit? You think because you hurt and you in pain, you can just give up? You think just because you put in some time?
That ain't the time. You put in the time coach told you to put in. You put in a time your teacher told you to put in.
But you didn't put in the time that life told you to put in. You didn't put in a time that the grind told you to put in. So what, you've been working out for six months?
So what, you just started studying? So what, you now you serious? You just got serious six months ago.
So what? You can't cheat the grind. You either put in the time or you surrender.
If it was easy, y'all, everybody would do it. But it ain't easy. But I know you have what it takes to make it happen.
