[Music] you ever feel like nothing good was ever going to happen to you I don't want to just survive it says in these movie writing books that every character has an arc you understand I think everybody starts out somewhere and they do something or something gets done to them changes their life that's called their Arc where's my arc I hear the clock ticking that's what I hear and the end is nigh and time waits for no man life goes by and it goes by quick don't waste those years don't waste them live them don't waste

your time do you know that everybody alive gets exactly the same amount of time it's what we do with it that makes a difference don't waste your life I don't blame them but don't be mad when you're laying there in your bed and you're in the hospital and you're 70 80 90 years old you're thinking man I feel like I didn't do something cuz you did you didn't do it you didn't do [ __ ] you may lived a great life man but you're always going to feel empty inside I was honest look at yourself

man look at yourself and it was that day I just got real at myself and every day I came home I called the accountability miror what am I going to do today to change what I see in this mirror get control stop scrolling stop clicking and start living that today I'm no longer being a loser today I'm going to change my path I'm going get on the path of success I don't care how long that road is I'm going to see it through no matter what because you know what I've been living enough years in

this hole and I don't want to be here anymore a simple truth in life is things are not going to go your way things are not going to work out the way you planned things are not going to be the way that you wanted them to be I would recommend you use the resources you have to create the life you want and so if the cards that you have dealt right now are anger and fear and disappointment then you can either wallow in those or you can turn something good out of it and so I

mean I love the saying you can either let life beat the strength out of you or you can let it beat it into you and so it's just a decision of whether these circumstances are going to serve me or I'm going to serve them and so I think that whatever your raw materials are a lot of people uh lament what cards they're dealt but you don't have control over those cards you only have control of how you play the hand and so I think everyone just needs to move past that and you know stop the

pissing contest on who had a sadder upbringing you cannot take any more time for granted you don't know how much longer you're going to be here you can do great things it's all all just a matter of will you choose to blossom into the greatness that is within you create a life that you can't wait to wake up to I saw that I live that life I literally I hate to sleep I love every minute of my life what would you say the most consistent straight amongst successful people you can do to the consistency like

consistency doesn't guarantee that you're successful but if you're not consistent you can guarantee going to be success I W every single [ __ ] time and now here's my last question my very last question on the questions to ponder is why not now there never was a better time and what a time now for us to take this dream and not let it die take this dream and give it life take this dream and breathe into it your own personal Spirit until finally it becomes a flame that burns around around the whole world let's go

do it now it's like how far could you take that if you stopped wasting time and if you stopped lying and if you oriented yourself to to the highest possible good that you could conceive of and you committed to that how much good could you do well I would say why don't you find out everybody believes that at some point in time they're going to turn it on or some point in time they're going to catch momentum or some point in time they're going to become what it is they want to become just by circumstance

or by default or by breathing the air that's not what it takes bro people who think that get to the end of their life and they're like I wasted my life okay that's what they end up thinking and there's really nothing worse than that there's nothing worse than getting to the end of your life and saying damn dude I didn't even really try you don't have forever right so what is important to you cuz you only have 24 hours in a day so what's important to you find out what the that is and do more

of that and try to figure out like how to how to make enough money so that you're not starving that you're doing well but don't just chase that chase what you're trying to do a person's strengths are often their biggest weaknesses and so that also means that their weaknesses can be their [Applause] strengths so me I am weak but I don't accept that I don't accept that I am what I am and that that is what I'm doomed to be no I don't accept that I'm fighting I'm always fighting I'm struggling and I'm scrapping and

I'm kicking and clawing at those weaknesses to change them to stop them some days I [Music] win some days I don't but each and every day I get back up and I move forward with my fists clenched toward the battle toward the struggle and I fight with everything I've got to overcome those weaknesses and those shortfalls and those flaws as I strive to be just a little bit better today than I was yesterday where is the wealthiest place in the world do you know it's not China it's not Dubai it's the graveyard because in the

graveyard you will find inventions never invented business is never erected songs Never sung books Never written IDE is never nurtured people never realized because they were scared to take a risk scared like you but you want to know something else you're not in a graveyard yet that's the thing success and failure are generally slow processes either slowly building things up or grab gradually tearing them [Music] [Applause] down and that's why I say you've got to pay [Music] attention you have to watch you have to watch every single second because those seconds they turn into minutes

and minutes turn into hours and hours turn into days and days turn in years and so that second that second that just went by that counted and so did that second and so did that one and in those precious seconds you were either building or you are decaying you are either gaining ground or you were losing ground in that second and in every [Applause] second every second counts so make every second count if somebody ever told you you only live once they a damn lie you only die once you live every day get up and

get it Helen Keller was once asked what on Earth would be worse than being born blind she said it would be so much worse to be born with sight but no vision why can't we have cures for every disease known to man why can't we have clean water food education for every person on this planet why can't we have peace on this planet why do we have to die to go to heaven the Earth is already in space we can have heaven right here right now just a shift in this why not it tests you

it tests you and see how how much is this you can take before you say let's just just be finished with this you know I mean it wants to show you something it wants to see how much you can take how much you can handle of life you say you love life you want to live life I'm going show you life life is beautiful but you have to accept the good and the bad is being beautiful we lose some our life sucks Life is Beautiful cuz life give us the ability to just know them and

our journey in life we met them we love them we cared about they car about us that's that's the purpose of life just enjoy what we had what we journey through it people don't care about you as much as you think they do massive amounts of people leave greatness inside of them out of fear of what others will think you know and I did that for a very long time it took me a while to get to the point where I would put myself out there all out of fear of what people think when you

come out of the storm you won't be the same person that walked into it that's what the storm is all about when you can't control what's happening to you control how you respond to it that's where your power is this is why thinking is so vital this is why a goal is so important because we will become that this is why people who set goals achieve them the trouble with men is not in achieving their goals they do that it's in establishing them well that's about it I think it's good to remember that if we

just go along with the crowd we won't wind up with much more than the wish that we could do it all over again and as far as we know you can't if we want to amount to anything as individuals we need individual goals individual thinking individual actions and we must never conform to the big group we must love them we must help them we must serve them because our whole success will depend on our ability to do these things cuz sometimes we don't understand like what is this thing what is my purpose why am I

here why do I have to go through this pain why do I have to go go to this fear all the time why can't it just be peaceful all the time then it wouldn't be life you know it wouldn't be life we have to we have to take life at it term life on life term not our life on our terms chances it's important that I stand up here tonight and represent those that are looking for second chances you can be this guy you can change you can turn it around I promise you can baby

I once heard a man say that you don't change until the pain to remain the same is greater than the pain it takes to change and that's what it takes I love you Texas don't underestimate the whole your absence would leave you know each of us we're remarkable creatures and we have something to offer to the world to our people we love to the World At Large it's our responsibility to make that manifest and we move a little farther away from Paradise every time that doesn't happen really hey man you know what SP I just

feel good today you always have to feel good I mean why why waste your life in sadness when you can enjoy a life of happiness I want to inspire the world I can't just sit there and mourn at my fractures and my disability and be like oh man see those dudes they're doing so good I was never like that come on man man see the thing about life we're going to die right eventually we're going to die but our Legacy can live on the impact can be non perishable forever but it's got to be built

right they got to speak we don't live forever our Legacy does we're going to make sure that's solid again you only live once but if you work it right once is enough my friends you know if your time your time comes when your time comes you know you you can't control that but at some point everything's going to go south on you everything's going to go south and you're going to say this is it this is how I end now you can either accept that or you can get to work that's all it is you

just begin and your brain is the most powerful weapon I talk about that in one of these chapters your brain is the most powerful weapon in the world once you put away your phones and your computers and all that [ __ ] have nowadays that's great we're up to date your brain is the only thing you have when you're going through depression when when you're going through hard times you're going through death real life you can't Google that man you're alone you're alone you may have a shrink you're going to you may have a best

friend you're going to but there's 24 hours in the day where you're alone in this brain and your brain is talking to you and all kind of ways and it wants to control you and pull you in these different Pockets if you can't control your own brain and your brain controls you you're you got to tell your brain where you want to go and how you want to go and how you want to get there you got to control it if not it's over it makes me think about when it says don't be pushed by

your problems be led by your dreams you're not going to score on every shot right doesn't mean you shouldn't take the shots doesn't mean you shouldn't try to to hit the goal but part of part of being able to continue to take shots is to have the strength of character to tolerate the fact that that in that instance you weren't on top I know why you hate me you hate me because you're probably in the bed right now you're probably an underachiever you're probably somebody who doesn't want to do anything with your life so I

make you question everything about yourself so I'm going to continue making you question yourself by coming out here and being even more successful you got to start believing in your imagination you want a better life correct had you haven't you imagined a better life okay who who you think he showed it to he showed it to you why you think he showed it to you cuz he want to give it to you but if you don't work if you don't ask him for it he cannot give it to you because he created us with the

Power of Choice we make choices every day if you decide that you will be poor there's nothing I can do you going to be poor if you decide to be rich today who going to stop you who if you decide you want to be rich all you got to do is start why not who going to stop [Applause] it it feels like we have such a long way to go I know but look how far we've comeone I just don't think I can do this I'm never going to find the [Music] Home you know sometimes

your mind plays tricks on [Music] you it can tell you you're no good that it's all hopeless but I've discovered this you are loved and important and you bring to this world things that no one else can so hold on I Come From Hell and a lot of it I created we can be our worst enemy why is the truth so important it gives you a starting point you have to have the truth to have a starting point once you you come face to face with who you are you have a starting point and your

true self is found honestly in that very uncomfortable Zone we all look for toughness we all want it but we look for it in a comfortable environment you will not find toughness in a comfortable environment those of you who are listening to this you will not find it I was trying to look for it everywhere the only way you find it is to drown your yourself in a position where you're just out of sorts where you can't swim and you're drowning you're drowning you're drowning in life but you say you know what ma'am that life

what is life what the is your life are you happy with it and if so it's just the intake and out take a breath that makes you put a smile in your face that's something your mother gave you you haven't earned that what have you done with your life they make it something else besides the normality of everybody else the intake and the outtake of what you call life is nothing more than time and unless done something with is forgotten about there's no footprint of your existence left for anyone else to follow life is time

and a life that's remembered where footprint is follow behind and footsteps of inspiration and motivation is when time is met with opportunity and action they Collide to be a life of remembrance the problem is most people don't have a plan without a plan of your own life you become the plan of someone else's life you're not running the day the day is running you the differential between those people is belief one person with belief overrides a hundred people with just intent intent and thought process thinking War gaming it never putting a foot forward never putting

their their face or their name to the fire belief is going after and figure it out along the way this workout is going to bring that belief back in your life it's a back workout and after this workout not only will you have a stronger back you have belief and confidence put into action life no longer is your life filled with stop signs and yield signs and halts and this sh and life begins now if it doesn't begin now your life is over and you don't need reminded of it but I'm going to remind you

anyhow life is hard okay fellas life is hard it's always been hard from the beginning and it will always be hard no no you you have to hit rock bottom that's the way up mhm yeah Rock Bottom is beautiful the struggle of the struggle of coming back is beautiful that struggle it doesn't appear like it's beautiful while you're going through it but it's just being it's just being tested and without a test there's no testimony life tests you sometime life annihilates you but it's only up to you if you want to take some more it's

going to dish it out but eventually if you don't quit it'll be U merciful to you if you can get a mental image of the person you would most like to become begin now to act as that person would act in everything you do gradually imperceptibly you will actually become that person it goes back to what the great German poet and philosopher Gerta once said before you can do something you must first be something before you can do what you would most like to do you must first become the person who could do it a

woman cooking dinner has only to act like a great chef to turn out a better meal the student to be begins to act like a top student will begin to get better grades you can even look much better by simply acting like the person you would most like to look like and be like stop waiting for life to be easy stop hoping for somebody to save you you don't need another person lying to you things don't all add up but you resilient face some hard facts and you could have an incredible life you guys don't

start believing yourselves your life will be nothing for anyone ever follow one you have to believe what you're doing is making a difference because it [ __ ] is here's the deal no complacency no complacency no backing off no slack whatsoever [Music] fight fight that ticking clock with everything you got so like the end of a hard day you can put your head down with ease [Music] satisfied that you've given your best failure is not the opposite of success it's a part of it mhm right failure is not the opposite of success is a part

of it and the reason that I'm saying that is because when it says don't be pushed by your problems problems are a part of the journey opposition are part of the journey right adversity is a part of the journey like it's all a part of development and growth as a person and so when you got dreams and you got problems I look at it as it's interconnected right you got your dream you got your goal you got your aspirations problems are going to happen along the way conflict is going to happen along the way uncertainty

is going to happen along the way but the thing that's important is putting things in place to fight it but you know what I discovered when you working at your dream somebody said the heart of the battle the sweeter the victory oh it's sweet to you it's good to you why see when you when it's hard and there's a struggle see what you become in the process is more important than the dream that's far more important the kind of person you become the character that you build the courage that you develop the faith that you're

manifesting oh it's it's it's something that you get up in the morning you look yourself in the mirror you're a different kind of person you walk with a different kind of spirit and people know that you know what life is that you have embraced life you know was hard but you did it hard don't waste your damn life and then you think well why would people be resistant to that message it's like well you really want to wake up and figure out that you're wasting half your life but what does losing feel like to you

uh it's exciting why is it exciting um because it means you have different um ways to get better there's certain things that you can figure out that you can take advantage of right certain weaknesses that were exposed um that you need to shore up right so it was exciting I mean sucks to lose right but at the same time their an is there cuz we forget we are in control of our mind we believe it's the other way around no we put in our minds what we should do but we believe our mind is telling

us it's giving us all this feedback we have to reprogram it and tell us no no no we're good we're good we got this sucks but it's okay the easiest thing in the world to do is to complain blame and quit and settle that's the easiest thing in the world to do but but it takes real work to deconstruct and to reconstruct the thought process and the mindset of an individual when they're trying to change something that's why I always say to people what's more important what we acquire or who we become you're not where

you want to be you feel like you're supposed to be somewhere else you said it well say you could snap your fingers and be wherever you wanted to be I bet you'd still feel this way not in the right place the point is you can't get so hung up on where you'd rather be that you forget how to make the most of where you are what are you telling me take a break from worrying about what you can't control live a little live a little you got 24 hours in a day 8 hours you sleep

right and most people work at 9 to 5 so so 8 hours you working 16 hours okay so we at 16 hours we got breakfast lunch and dinner so we had what we at n this 19 it take you an hour to get ready so we at 20 hours so I cannot spend you guys cannot spend 4 hours going to about oh they lying oh I like this photo oh they faking sending photos to other people y'all got to get focused I'm wear I'm at cuz I'm focused tunnel vision I'm focused on what I got

to do y'all got to have a game plan I'm feeling I feel right now it's bad as it feels is a hell of a lot better feeling than a life where you throw the Talon that's something you never recover from tomorrow morning I'll wake up stronger I'll feel alive and I'll have the belief and confidence backing me up after a good night's rest I can only get better when towels down in life there is no there's no Mor rounds man you throw it in I feel like [ __ ] right now but I can put

the towel back up I'm going to be stronger tomorrow the next round life guys it's the plan of action if you don't have the plan I guarantee you someone's going to use you as part of their [ __ ] plan stop going about the day as a servant become the master run your day and stop having it run you believe in yourself be that one of a hundred that has a belief instead of just jaw ja talk of intent huge differential air differential is somebody just breathing life and the other one taking the most of

the opportunity of time of life remembrance otherwise forgotten what do you think is the biggest stumbling block that most people face with this kind of Journey honestly is they have the well was me mentality it's too hard life isn't fair these things in life are are are not easy for me you you you look to your left you look to your right and you start to judge yourself off other people like if you're a female well well she's skinny and she doesn't work out as hard as I do and everything starts to corrupt your mind

you start to look around too much at other people what they're doing and that starts to corrupt your own dialogue we are judging ourselves against too many people you have to judge yourself against yourself and that's the one thing I started learning man this race against David goggin and David goggin alone and once you can silence all that [ __ ] all the outside interference and things that are attracting your mind to everything you can then start to grow in realizing I'm stressed out for no reason this is my own little race this is my

own timeline and this is how I'm going to run it it's all in your mind whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life if you continue to believe as you have always believ you will continue to act as you have always acted you will continue to get what you have always gotten if you want different results in your life or your work all you have to do is change your mind you had a gut feeling that maybe you me for more but you weren't really sure what the next best steps

where to achieve it me too so what's your more what's your your your your destination and I'm not talking about just more money or more things I'm also talking about more love more joy more Choice more balance more trust what's your more it would line up to be perfect for them and because they're waiting for this and because it's never coming they never go and when they never go they never become anything and that's what leads to a wasted life so you have to realize conditions are never going to be perfect things are always going

to be hard the only hope that you have is to become someone who can push through that hard regardless of what the is going on and if you can build that level of discipline that level of mental toughness to execute when things are not ideal when things are extremely hard nothing can stop you on your journey to becoming whatever it is you're trying to become nothing absolutely nothing like life is very difficult and in order to thrive with this difficult life if an opportunity is presented to you be you shouldn't be so arrogant that you

dismiss it and it's really easy to be arrogant especially if you're smart because you think well I'm smarter than everybody else it's like actually no lots of people that are a lot smarter than you you just haven't met them yet I want to inspire I want to motivate I want to show people that there is a way out that there is a way to do more to get more to obtain more but I personally don't want to lose all that I've been able to get so I need to make sure that I do everything to

keep it so I can't be content M so there is an understanding but I refuse to click on the switch of so even if you like even if you have more money than you'll ever spend for the rest of your life that's not what it's about no it's about the inspiring people and the influence and constantly giving back and moving forward in a positive way and the only way you can do that is to stay active it's the story man hey dog you do realize that this could be the year that you change your life

if you just lock in a whole 365 days AG go day in and day out toward your goals with no distractions we ain't hearing the excuses no more your future is tired of that 2024 should be an apology toward to all the be that you did last year lock in and change your life like your life depends on it because it do can you admit something in your life that you don't feel like you deserve or have [Music] earned can you admit a goal or or a dream that you want to chase but you're feeling

like nah I can't fly that high I'm I'm I'm not equipped I don't I don't really have the ability I'm not qualified can you admit something in your life that guilt is keeping you from [Music] getting can you admit something that you don't want to start continue or finish because you're afraid [Music] to say it aloud to [Music] yourself write it down confess admit it everybody judges by success of money or or business accomplishments or games you won and things like that the the true measure of success is how happy are you if you get

up every day and you're really happy and you really do enjoy and love your life and you love doing you you're surrounded by people you love doing it with you could not be more successful no look I think failure has to be Quantified if you fail that you never can get up from it again you know that's not a good failure I think I think failure and adversity are the two things I think about for me as an entrepreneur and very entrepreneurial and always in my own stuff all the failures along the way even going

back to like the baseball card show when I was 13 and that I paid $400 for a table and nobody showed up to that baseball card show that was a Learning lesson those micro failures were super super important I think you know it depends on your stomach right like if you if you really fail like go out of business I think people take one of two ways right they're like just finished and they're never able to get off the mat and they go in a different directions so to me I think quantifying the failure is

important to me my mom is 84 years old and she's at home watching Mom I just want an Oscar my journey started on a boat I spent a year in a refugee camp and somehow I ended up here on Hollywood's biggest stage they say stories like this only happen in the movies I cannot believe it's happening to me this this is the American dream dreams are something you have to believe in I almost gave up on M to all of you out there please keep your dreams alive you looking for her she's in the past

the past is not my concern there's this thing about people and they talk about manifesting mhm mhm it's real man manifesting is real when you figure out who you are and what you want to do and you devote your life to it like like like a maniac like you're all in on this thing and you manifest most of these people end up you know doing what they say they're going to do and being who they say they're going to become and there's no excuses there's no days off there's no uh you know not willing to

grind and you know the everybody's against me and this didn't happen for me because of this and that and all this whining puss ass [ __ ] that a lot of people do these days is these people who dive in and they're hardcore and they're focused and they know what they want they know who they are and they lay out these short-term goals and this road map on how to get there most of those people make it it haunted me okay the voice in my head say you know what man you're going to die never

even trying to reach your full potential and how's that going to feel I'm going to be haunted by the mere fact that I literally just that's what I was wasted that life that's what that was man you look back and here lies David Goggins a punk that's it right and I get to live live so whatever heaven or hell is you're in Hell the rest of your life so if you lose and you jump right back up and you haven't really changed I mean really really changed from that loss you're never going to learn from

it and you're never going to really truly know the unforgiving race to greatness because that's the that's part of the unforgiving part is the losing part that part is unforgiving it's what's really inside of them so what they're seeing when they look in the mirror they're just trying to see what's on the surface but winning and losing wants to know what's inside of you it wants to know what makes you tick it wants to know what your desires are it wants to know what your ego is it wants to know what your limitations are it

wants to know what your mindset is it wants to know everything about you because winning does not lie when you look in the mirror you can lie and see what's on the surface cannot lie what's going on inside and that's what people are not willing to see the lies that are truly going on inside of them that are not allowing them to win over and over sometimes even win once your mind has to be stronger than your feelings your mind has to be stronger than your feelings think about every poor decision you've made in your

life gosh there was more emotion that was involved in it and there was mind every single one of them think about it your feelings keep you in bed your mind tells you get up 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 and this relates to another one which is 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 shitty this is what hard feels like and this is why most people can't do it but you can maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles quit don't quit noodles don't noodles you are too concerned with what was and what will be is a saying yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift that is why it is called the present because if I just think well tomorrow I'm just going to coast and eat Twinkies and watch TV oh hello sadness my old friend hello depression because when you're

not doing anything you feel like [ __ ] and that's just a part of being a human being and we can pretend that we're something other than what we really are and we could pretend not me man I'm just cool just chilling doing nothing [ __ ] you're human you're a human being you you evolved from the in hundreds of thousands of years of hunters and gatherers and people that were struggling those human reward systems are carved deeply into your DNA and if you don't respect that if you don't respect the mechanism of happiness and

fulfillment and what you really need to do in order to feel satisfied in life camaraderie struggle testing yourself learning all those things are imperative they're all giant part of being a person what's the the the biggest mistake that you've made in your life that you can share you know with [Music] people same mistake that all four of us made trust it's a trust every morning I get up in a mirror and I say you know I say to myself and I'm you know I'm brushing my teeth I said you know what only person I can

trust that person right there cuz we all know we can trust ourselves but we all always know somebody else is always going to let us down it's 1:00 a.m. I'm going for my third workout do I want to go to the gym absolutely not I rather you know lay in my house and sit in the movie theater and watch movies but you know to be the best you got to work overtime to be the best you got to work overtime looks like the winds are changing ah change is good yeah but it's not easy I

know what I have to do but going back means I'll have to face my past I've been running from it for so long ow jeez what was that for it doesn't matter it's in the past yeah but it still hurts oh yes the past can hurt but the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it ah you see at some point in your life life after many breakups after you realize we all pay taxes after you realize you're not always going to be the one chosen for a promotion you're

going to be passed up on promotion sometime a guy that's lazier just because they're related to the mother of the business or the CE of the business is going to get the promotion over you and that pisses you off because you stayed up every night till 10:00 and I schmuck gets the promotion over you just because his last name is Johnson and yours is not and you can never compete with that kid then you start realizing saying listen man this fashion stuff I'm sorry I worked a lot harder than the other why does he deserve

it you start kind of getting a little bit of this and about 30 to 40 years old you sit there and say maybe I need to start making some logical decisions as well I think to myself man I'm afraid of doing this and I'm like no I'm not I'm afraid of what this person's going to think about me because if I were to be able to fail in quiet in complete isolation then I wouldn't care and then I think well what if I what if I what if I don't succeed in public what do they

think then nothing right they don't think about me at all and so obviously that comes from the perspective of uh seeking to gain approval and attention from others anyway so it's like listen if you're insecure which everybody is let's be real um you might as well use the insecurity to get something out of it and so a lot of people think that they need to fix their conditions in order to get like the perfect conditions before they start but the perfect condition is whatever one you're in because it gives you whatever assets you have that's

the cards that you're dealt and so you just play the hand and a lot of people have great cards it's like man I'm so afraid of it's like use it it's like I have nothing it makes you very dangerous cuz you have nothing to lose right like when of the um really interesting things about I think about from a business perspective but it probably applies to everything is that there's always an advantage and a disadvantage from every position I was like there's always a position and there's always an advantage I like you just have to

play the one you've got and most people just look at what everyone else's advantages and don't think which one do I have when you're talking about it's not you that's afraid of failing you're afraid of other people's opinions about why you're going to fail there's going to be things in your life that you don't have control over you know like for instance someone gets a terrible disease and or their kids gets gets a terrible disease and no there's nothing you can do about that what you can take ownership though is how you respond to that

situation and so that's what you have to do there's things that you can control there's things you can't control now I will tell you that human beings can control a lot more than they think they can and often times it's pretty easy just to say oh that's not me that's not on me I think that's that's the whole Genesis of the idea of extreme ownership is most of the time time or much of the time people say that's not my fault there's nothing I can do about that and more often than people think there is

something you can do about it and you can and it is your fault so when I win it's awesome it's always great to win winning is is is a great feeling in business in sports in life there's going to be wins and there's going to be losses and you have to take them both in stride and you have to be able to you know what I mean these are all part of being in the game when you're in the game great things happen and really bad things happen and you got to take it all in

stride and you got to pick yourself up the next day strap your shoes back on and get out there and go to war again [ __ ] your tired body that unmotivated mind and get out there and do it anyway you know you better fight yourself cuz you're not only winning when things are going your way you got to figure out how to win when things aren't going your way you got to figure out when your body's fighting you when your mind's fighting you how do you still you know just say it I'm going to

I'm going to beat my mind today or do you just give in your mind and say I'm tired today I'm lazy I don't want to do it it's too hard no one else is doing it's a weekend it's too late these already off hours oh exactly what I want isn't happening right now like okay great you know who that's great for your competition you want that attitude to perate the people that you're competing against you want them to give in to their mind you want them to say oh it's too hard I can't do it

but you want to be the one that says [ __ ] I'm going to do it anyway I know I don't feel good today but I'm going to go out there and I'm going to prove to myself that even on days that it doesn't feel right I push myself the only way to gain confidence in yourself is to build something it's not to wait for it to happen hey Vick your life just happened in front of you just show up today and make it happen with Tom no you had to do a lot of [

__ ] today to get to this day that no one really knows except you so that's why you appreciate it because you had to go through a lot of stuff to get to this day now only you know what it took to get here and that's why you value it hey look a whole new year a whole 365 days to make this joint right me and you both know you didn't stick to the script last year but it's okay though because this year we call for everything that we lost and more this going to be

your year if you act right you're the only one that can make it right but you're also the only person that can mess it up the pressure on your shoulders what you got to embrace it and if you lock in at the end of the year you can look yourself in the mirror and say I'm proud that's real motion but is it so bad that a person has millions of dollars in the bank is it so bad that a person has two of the top books in the world property list of all time is it

bad that a person has broke all kind of Records is it bad the person who been to Navy SEAL Army Ranger going to Delta Force training going through Air Force smoke jumper is is that bad is that bad that by 47 years old you're trying to find what to do next is is that so bad because you done everything in the world because the second you thought about it you did it if that's bad I don't want to see what good is so why it's bad to most people because it looks exhausting and it is

exhausting and that's why it's bad to most people most things that are bad to people is because they can project what the it takes to get there the whole world is in chess any move can be the death of you do anything except remain where you started and you cannot be sure of your end none of us know our end really or what hand will guide us there remember that howsoever you are prayed or by whom your soul is in your keeping alone life is not easy it is not don't try to make it that

way life's not fair it never was it isn't now and it won't ever be do not fall into the Trap the entitlement trap of feeling like you're a victim you are not get over it and get on with it and yes most things are more rewarding when you break a sweat to get them best advice you ever received a man named Rich told me once in Diamond Bar we're in a meeting and we're looking at everybody and we're in this backyard and I'm in the corner I'm looking at everybody everybody's having dinner and there at

these tables and I put Rich aside I a rich give me the one best advice and he starts I said no I said I want one above everything and he said look at everybody here they're all going to read just a few books and learn a few quotes few titles few stories to tell from the books they read and once they make 100 quter million they're going to slow down he said if you keep out improving these guys consistently eventually none of these guys will be your competitors and he was absolutely right so I came

back I took self-improvement to a whole different level some what he told me and uh it became an obsession and I noticed you know what he was right you can't drive your car looking in the rearview [Music] mirror you can't if you keep looking in the rearview mirror you going to keep crash in your car there's a reason why the rearview mirror is this big and the windshield is this big that's a reason for cuz all the rearview mirror does is allows you to see what you've passed and to prevent what you passed from coming

up on you again that's all the rearview mirrors for the windshield is your future it's where you going it's where you headed when you wake up in the morning don't think about anything don't sit there and start thinking about rationalizing just get up and do what you're supposed to do just turn off your brain and go and execute and just don't think cuz when you start thinking you start making things up and you start thinking about luxury and all those things that you could be doing instead yeah whatever and so I just just stop all

that just up and just do what you're supposed to do but from a day-to-day basis I mean you know the fact that I've got I've got friends a lot of friends that aren't here that don't get to live their lives anymore that were killed and I want to make sure that I'm taking advantage of every minute and every second that I have and living a life that if they're they're watching me right now they're thinking all right all right good jock was getting after it come on tone anything we can do not unless you can

change the past you got to put your past behind you look kid bad things happen and you can't do anything about it right right wrong When The World Turns its back on you you turn your back on the world life is not a perfection game life is an adjustment game it's not about getting it right it's about when you inevitably get it wrong how you handle it your ability to adapt what's the answer you would give them if they're like how do I gain more confidence it starts with yourself man you got to start diving

into those things that you are afraid of you don't gain confidence by going to the spot that makes you feel good it's could be a false reality in the second life gives you that challenge all you want to do is go back to or what gave you confidence is that happy spot what gives you confidence not being afraid it's overcoming the fear Isis stutter severely bad so right now I don't know how many people are going to watch this you know what gives me confidence is KN I no longer care if I siners start stuttering

to you yeah that's what gives me confidence is facing these things overcoming them and maybe not overcoming them every day but facing them and facing and facing pretty soon like this you know what man this the words that it's not in that comfort zone it's in the discomfort zone is where my confidence is getting built negativity you can protect yourself from negativity and that's what stops most people negative thoughts you know I get tired sometimes that's different from being negative because I get mentally drained from my job at times but to coat your mind from

negativity the way you can put a coding around your mind is with one simple thing gratitude gratitude erases negativity I'm going to show you how this works if you wake up in the morning you start having negative thoughts Man this ain't my day I woke up on wrong side of the bed I'm tripping I just don't feel myself every time you feel in the middle of the day if you feel yourself doing that stop just stop for a second and start going over in your mind everything you have to be grateful for not everything you

want everything you already have because what you have is substantial you want to know why our grandparents stayed together because they didn't they weren't looking at Ash cheeks all day on Instagram and and refreshing it don't take today off not today wait until tomorrow don't don't give in to the immediate gratification that is whispering in your [Music] ear shut that down do not listen to that little voice instead go through the motions lift the weights Sprint the hill work on the project get out of bed you need to get things done when tomorrow comes you

still feel like you need to rest or you need to take a break then okay but the chances are you won't you won't need that rest chances are you will realize that the desire to rest was just weakness it was just the desire to take the path of least resistance the downhill path the easy path and by simply going through the [Music] motions you overcame that path and you stayed on the righteous path the discipline path you stayed on the war [Music] path which is right where you know that you belong the majority of success

that I have had have come on the back end of pain pain has pushed me to levels unknown for me at the time all I know that that was pain but on the other side of it all of a sudden I became better in an area so when we go through those situations in our lives pain helps you develop those things that is going to take you to the next level of whatever it is believe that I'm living testimony of that see there's a purpose for my pain as you've been listening all and you probably

read all this week I suffered from depression I went through it mly my rookie year I suffered through suicidal thoughts and I wasn't just suffering through Suicidal Thoughts I was actually planning the way that I would kill myself so my wife would get the [Music] money not yet not yet but what that pain did for me it it it increased my faith exponentially I have grown Leaps and Bounds because of the things that I've G through and that's one of those things that I went through and when I say went through that mean I came

on the other side of it so for those who are going through right now there's hope you do have hope there is something on the other side of this don't get caught up where you are don't stay where you are keep moving keep pushing through you always have to be the person who roots for you before right when else does and it's usually a single clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time it is a slow clap that's just you rooting for you um and that visual I think is one that you

can kind of take because it is people struggle to do things alone and the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception which means that you are not with other people your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life don't be trapped by Dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking don't let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice and most important have the courage to follow your heart and intuition they somehow already know what you truly want to become everything else is secondary

make your life your own movie that actually make it better than a movie make it better because it's real it's real so it is better and you know what real comes with some downsides real comes with some [Music] Darkness but that's okay I feel like people are just trying to rush and trying to hurry up and do this and this knowing that that going to take years they want to go viral on that they want to go viral so fast like it's like bro like you have to wait I just say I just say play

the back until it's time to play the front and when your time to play the front you you go Full Throttle like today like now is the time
