Isn't about time you become that person you knew you always could be how do you do that you break the M guys you get the out of bed when it's cold when it's early you do something away from the normality of what you've been doing the psychotic behavior doing the same thing expecting a different result doesn't work the way you must switch up the main frame switch it up if you want a different result man I've been listening To laughter all my career yeah I've been listening to them laugh my whole career what an Irish

man win a win a cage Warriors World title hell no you serious an Irish man an Irish man win a fight in the UFC hell no laugh laughs all around an Irish okay you got to win now he wants to win a world title hell no he's all talk he's all hype he's a joke laughter all around at the Joker then the Joker Goes and wins the world title every he wants to win a second world Title more laughter the sound of laughter and the sound of Doubt motivates me so I just beat me yeah

this ain't about nobody else I don't give nobody else I just beat me if I can keep beating myself if I can keep doing that then that means that I'm in a battle with the only person that makes sense I'm in a battle with the only person that I really want to be and that's me I don't I don't care about anybody else I have no worry or gripe About the next man or woman's Journey or their level of success ESS that's not what I'm what I'm up against you got to take ownership of what's

going on in your life when you're not where you want to be and you say it's because the boss doesn't like you or it's because the girl treated you this way or the guy did this like all those things you got to take ownership of them yeah and if you're blaming all these other external things you're not going to make any Changes and that's going to be a problem F bet against me bet against me tell me it's not going to happen tell me it's going to fail I love it I love every minute of

it anything I have done in my life I I I've done it and I've done it with the with the expectation of having no regrets or I wouldn't have done it in the first place I'm a man uh of calculation you know what I mean I'm a man of uh strategic planning and strategic Movement you know so when I do things I make sure I don't regret it nobody cares you know at the end of the day nobody cares what we're going through how your body feels nobody cares we got to we got to do

our job there's so much opportunity on the other side of being willing to persist for an extended period of time on the correct path without getting positive reinforcement from your environment and the longer you can stick with something without that Positive feedback loop in terms of the big external thing the easier the opportunities are because so few people can pursue them you don't know where you're going you're lost you know what I mean you have no Direction so for me I feel like both of them together when you when you really when you have the

vision and you're able to manifest but then you also put the work in Magic happens man magic that's where the magic magic is but a lot of people never get there Unfortunately a lot of people we're blessed that we can dream it doesn't matter where you are in life it really doesn't because the great thing about life is it's always your next move your next move that counts no matter where you are you could be look I was dead broke my electric bill was being shut off and there were obviously there people even like worse

off than I Was it doesn't matter you could change your life if you want to it's always your next decision so it's up to you you should be a monster an absolute monster and then you should learn how to control it act like the person you want to become that's not fake until you make it by the way this is intentional intentionally act like the person you want to become because when you int inally act like the person you want to become your brain Sees you taking those actions so your brain starts to change the

way it relates to you when your brain sees you high-fiving yourself in the mirror it starts to go oh wait a minute Steven loves himself Steven's cheering for himself we don't beat Steven up 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 was first become the person who can do it everybody has a turn back moment you have a moment where you could go forward or you can give up but the thing you have to keep in mind before you give up is that if you give up the guarantee is it will never happen that's the Guarantee of quitting that it will never happen no way under the sun the only way the possibility remains that it can happen is if you never give up no matter what you might think

that bed's warm feels allc comfortable you come here you kill it give it everything you have leave it all here the warmth you feel after that Second To None man Second To None no she can provide that comfort for you when you give it all here guys and you leave It all here you at your weakest State bottom of the barrel what's about to happen your greatest Triumph you kill yourself on pride in here leaving nothing to spare what's going to come the growth of opportunity those days when I'm tired or or worn out or

just basically sick of the grind what what do I do on those days I go anyways I get it done even if I'm just Going through the motions I go through the motions I don't really want to work out I work out I I really don't want to hammer on a project I hammer on the project don't really want to get up and get out of bed yeah I get up and get out of bed let me teach you the real life how it really is the reason why you're a loser and the reason why

you're not making it and the Reason why you're trying to go through all these I go to all these conventions speak all the time I look in the audience and these people sign up sign up sign up every year go to Convention thinking they're going to learn something different no you're lazy you know exactly what to do exactly what to do cuz even me in my state of I can't read and write I knew exactly what to do it just sucks doing it it sucks to do it it sucks to wake up every morning of

Your life and say God man I'm I'm not smart so guess what I got do I got to I got to study the same that I got one of the highest scores in the nation on that rule me back here every time is saying that ain't you bro that ain't you and I have to outwork that voice consistency doesn't guarantee that you'll be successful but not being consistent will guarantee that you won't reach success an easy productivity hack instead of Spending time getting in the mood to work just stop working confront the work people think

they need perfect conditions to start when in reality starting is the perfect condition feelings has nothing to do with it um this is my dream this is what I'm going to do and I'm going to do the things that I don't feel like doing I'm going to do the things I don't want to do I'm going to do the things that don't come easy to me That do not come natural to me um I'm going to get up and do it um you can't live your life on feelings you're going to have feelings okay but

you cannot let your feelings dictate what you are or are not going to do like I want to I want to wake you up at 3:00 in the morning go come on man we're going running like let me to see I want to see what you do when you're tired let me see how you push yourself come on man get up get up again tomorrow Get up again tomorrow get up again tomorrow the next day get up get up get up get up keep going how long can you maintain a positive attitude they you need

to show people that you could do it I'm realizing that I have to Daily Show up for myself if I want my life to be what I want it to be right it is a battle and not only that but it's like you have to um you have to have some sort of a plan when I used to be a little bit more aimless I was just like I want things to be good it wasn't enough I'm un beable I can't be B this impossible you condemn me you can damage me you're never ever going

to beat me hey it's going to take everything you got it's going to take way longer than you think you're going to lose all your [ __ ] friends along the way yeah you're going to make new friends but you're going to spend a lot of time alone you're going to be stressed you're going to be tired you're going to be Frustrated you're going to be angry you're going to get bitter sometimes you're going to want to quit Every Mother Day how do you sell that to someone that's a hard sale the only thing that

you can do is wi so big that all of them constantly compare themselves to you and then you'll forg yet they exist and he and that's when he said he said success is the only Revenge he's like it's not the best revenge he's like It's the only one there's no other Revenge cuz everything else is petty everything else does show that you were thinking about these people all day long which means they win by default he's like all you can do is think about your goal and winning he's like and when you win that's when

you become so big that they shrink into irrelevance you cast a shadow that no one even can see them behind you the consistency of work Monday get better Tuesday get better Wednesday get better right and you do that over a period of time you know not like one month or two months I mean it's 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 years and then you you know you can get to where you want to go everything is possible in your life when you believe when you believe everything is possible you have a to [Music]

hands what I tell people is the best advice I I've ever heard it's the best Advice I ever came up with is that live your life like you're the hero in your movie and right now is when the movie starts and your life is a back disaster like every Arnold Schwarzenegger move where he wakes up and makes a blender full of pizza and ice cream and that's what he you know what I mean those guys were like on the brink they put the gun in their mouth and they put it down cuz they see a

photo of their daughter pretend that's you pretend you are of Right now you are in the part of the movie that starts and it shows you as a loser and just decide not to be a loser anymore live your life like there's a documentary crew following you around and you are analyzing your own behavior 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 if you think that being happy is a 24/7 destination that you're going to get to and you're going to have all this joy and all this happiness and all these feelings of that are good and never any bad feelings you're going to always feel bad because you're expectations are out of alignment with reality you cannot achieve that that is not achievable so the minute you have anything outside of That the minute you have a hard day the minute you have frustration

the minute you have anxiety it's going to be much more Amplified because your expectation is that there shouldn't be any of it okay life is hard and let me tell you how it's hard it's either hard in the beginning or it's hard in the end you either suffer when you're young and have a better back end or you suffer or you party when you're young and you suffer on the back end it's one or the other Bro and it's not a daily thing when it comes to happiness happiness should be viewed as daily moments that

make me happy I have this moment that made me happy I had that moment that made me happy I had this moment that made me happy and we should be grateful for those moments we shouldn't be mad that that 24 hours a day wasn't this happy experience if you go to the gym and you work out and you come back and you look in the mirror you will see Nothing and if you go to the gym the next day and you come back and you look in the mirror you will see nothing right so clearly

there's no results can't be measured it must not be effective so we quit right or if you fundamentally believe that this is the right course of action and you stick with it like in a relationship I bought her flowers and I wished her happy birthday and she doesn't love me clearly I'll give up you know that's not what Happens if you if you believe there's something there you commit yourself to act an act of service you commit yourself to the regime the exercise you can screw it up you eat chocolate cake one day you can

skip a skip a day or two you know it allows for that but if you stick with it consistently I'm not exactly sure what day but I know you'll start getting into shape I know it and the same with the relationship it's not about the events it's not about Intensity it's about consistency what you were bringing up with Joey is a real good point that a lot of people say I just want to sort of they kind they're kind of dabbling in the idea of improving themselves and the real way to do it is you

got to write down what the [ __ ] you want and then go after it remind that if you want to be exceptional you're going to be different from everyone else that's What Makes You exceptional you can't fit in and also be Exceptional both have discomfort when you fit in you have internal conflict because you're not being 100% you when you're exceptional you have external conflict because everyone sees you as different pick one when your friends start to say you've changed remember it's because they don't know how to say you've grown when you feel like

giving up don't when you thinking about giving up don't when it look like you ain't going To make it keep going when they tell you you can't come on man who are they a lot of people say I just want to sort of they kind they're kind of dabbling in the idea of improving themselves and the real way to do it is you got to write down what the you want and then go after it if you decide I'm going to get down to bang I'm going to do this I'm going to run a marathon

in less than 5 hours I'm going to you know whatever the it is you got to write that down and go for it What people understand is that they live for themselves not knowing that you have the power within yourself to change millions of lives by facing Life by facing yourself if you had to create a human what would you put them through to make them tough it probably wouldn't be a really chill life what would you put them through to make them patient we probably wouldn't give them things immediately and so it's like we

want these Traits but each the traits has a price tag attached to it it's just like do you want to pay the price tag to get the thing and so I think if if people reframe the the period of life that they're going through as the price that they're paying out of their wallet but the wallet is their time it's the seconds of life that they're trading for it then I think more people will be willing to make the trade because at least when I look at myself like when I'm 80 something years old I'm

looking back on my life I want to have these traits but in order to have those traits I know I have to go through these things and I think for me that's given me a lot of comfort in hard times nobody believes in in in me before and I showed them what person can accomplish with determination without believ in yourself and everything people man how do you do what you do at the end of day I ask myself one Question can I take one more step and usually the answer is yes so if you can

answer that question and not take another step that is real failure that is real quitting so a lot of people can take one more step if they choose not to I don't know if you can take two steps you got to answer that question after you take the first step mediocrity always attacks Excellence you know it's it's kind of a rule no one's attacking a couch potato But the moment you start to walk toward your dream and you start to break habits you start to change relationships that no longer serve that dream you start uh

you start to be talked about now many people um are afraid of failing which really means that they're afraid of being ridiculed but once you become aware that you're going to be ridiculed if you fail and you're going to be talked about if you succeed then you can able to put that aside cuz you know You're going to be talked about either way no matter what yeah you know if you go forward and you fall oh he went for it and he didn't make it or if you go for it you succeed they'll say oh

it was luck you know you know whatever they say about you so once you get out of your mind or become aware that people are going to talk talk about you either way then you go for it without commitment you'll never start but without consistency you never finish you're Going to realize it one day that happiness was never about your job or your degree or being in a relationship happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you it was never about being like the others one day you're going

to see it that happiness was always about the discovery the hope the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose To go happiness was always about being kinder to yourself it was always about embracing the person you were becoming one day you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself that your happiness was never in the hands of others one day you'll realize that true happiness comes from within and no external factors can Define it it was always about you it was always about You failure has been achieved

Thank God now the only place to go from failure is to win you have to achieve failure you have to take it that far nobody wants to go that far it's too scary but you know something I got news for you that's where winning is it always has been one day in the gym one day in the gym is basically imperceivable 2 Days in the gym you don't recognize any change whatsoever a 100 days in the gym and you're almost a new person right you seen those before and after pictures one day of playing guitar

one day of playing guitar you can barely play one chord 100 days of practicing guitar and you can play literally almost any song an hour of writing an hour of writing and you've got a short kind of junky thousand-word essay a 100 hours of Writing and you got yourself a whole book so we let these things slip because it takes so long to see the progress we let them slip and when we don't do them it becomes 0 * 100 or 0 * 1,000 and that Nets out to a zero when you do anything it

adds up when you do nothing it amounts to zero so take the small steps every day do what you're supposed to do and don't expect some incredible results in one Day or 2 days or 10 days worthwhile things take a 100 days they take 500 days maybe they take 5,000 days they take time I am cold I am emotionless I am at peace Ready for War the thing is man it's always going to be a party it's always going to be a time to celebrate and the time to join friends and or a day I

mean the bars are always open always open no matter how old you are they're always open you know what's not Always open is the opportunity to to check the box in life you know achieve your dreams that's not always open man driven human beings are going to always feel like they're behind they're going to always feel like they're not doing good enough they're going to always feel like they're not far enough they're all going always feel like you're losing look winning this is how it feels 90% of the time you're going to feel like you're

getting your balls kicked in all Right 8% of the time you're going to be confused and you're frustrated 2% of the time you actually win and those moments come and go and then you're back in the 90% And that's the reality of a Winner's life people don't understand that they think it's all about cruising around in a cool car with having a free and happy and easy and go-lucky life and that's not reality because true winners are built for the fight they're built for the battle they Don't find peace and joy and happiness in the

win they find what they're looking for in the fight hard work brings great rewards this is a reminder of the hard work and dedication that I've put into everything that I've done I'm not content because I know where I came from and I don't ever want to go back if all you guys are going left it's that one person who say you know what left's not The right way I'm GNA go right who didn't follow the crowd that person who's not afraid of doing what they believe is right in their heart and not following someone

else because someone else said let's go this way and they agree with everybody I don't like yes men or yes women if you're right you're right we're going to follow you but I like people who stand for something they believe in something and this is the way I'm going to go whether you like me or Not why do you think it's say take the opportunity it doesn't say receive the opportunity it doesn't say have the opportunity granted to you it doesn't say Get Lucky with the opportunity it says take the opportunity you know what that

means that means you have to seize it that means you have to take it no one's going to give it to you you are one Decision One relationship one thought one emotion one meeting away from a completely different life and Unless you believe first off I'm right about that it's true but unless you believe that and then you program your reticular activating system in your brain to find those things you will never have them happen to you but if you begin to believe I'm one meeting away from a different life I'm one decision away I'm

one podcast away I'm hearing one guy in the United States away from changing my life forever the outcome that you're Trying to create is not guaranteed it's it's not easy it's not you know rub free it's not painfree like it's going to be hard and you're going to have to go all in cuz you're competing against other people who are going all in so if you think you could compete against other people who are going all in and not having the their life with you you giving three days and them giving seven your ego is

out of control bro that's an arrogant thought lot people man how do You do what you do at the end of the day I ask myself one question can I take one more step and usually the answer is yes so if you can answer that question and not take another step that is real failure that is real quitting my coach Smith told me I'll never be nothing from that day forward I made a promise that I will give it everything I got I'm ready to die for what I had to Had to succeed I have

to give it everything I got that way I'm a winner no matter what what's your life going to look like if you don't go out and build what the you want to build that you have this little vision in your heart and in your mind of what your life should be like and what are you going to feel like if you don't go do that you might think that bed's warm feels all comfortable you come here you kill it give it everything you have leave it all here The warmth you feel after that second to

none man Second To None no sheit can provide that comfort for you when you give it all here guys and you leave it all here you at your weakest State bottom of the barrel what's about to happen your greatest Triumph you kill yourself on pride in here leaving nothing to spare what's going to come the growth of opportunity this world is so noisy we we All walk around these phones computers the world is so fast we're not able to think the the most powerful weapon in the world we walk around with it it's our mind

it's our brain you have to be able to go into a very dark place in your mind and figure who you are go back to what you want to do what's your purpose we can't figure our purpose out or why we're here or why we even born or whatever cuz our it's so loud in our Mind we don't have any quiet time with ourselves to sit back and say what do I really want there's so many different dialogues in our head that we can't think so my biggest thing is you have to be alone in

a very dark place in your mind to think about what is important to you take ownership take extreme ownership don't make excuses don't blame any other person or any other [Music] thing get control of your Ego don't hide your delicate Pride from the truth take ownership of everything in your world the good and the bad take ownership of your mistakes take ownership of your shortfalls take ownership of your problems and then take ownership of the solutions that will get those problems solved I had two options to either be that 300lb guy who's prayed for cockroaches

and made $1,000 a month and At 24 years old knowing when I'm 5 years old I can reflect on this and think about what guy I never became or I can totally just sack it up and fail and fail and fail and TI succeed how bad do you want it there's two options to continue forward pushing upward and if you do that dream is giv birth and forever you will live in the reality of it if you stop quit throw in the tow I promise you there's no Distance you can travel far enough to ever

find that dream again Fred is dead and in its death it's replaced by regret the world needs people like you it needs people to build it needs people to create it needs people to set an example there's nothing wrong with you for being an ambitious person the world wouldn't exist as we know it without ambitious people the world wouldn't exist as we know it without creative people who are willing to pay the price to build what They see in their mind before anyone else sees it okay so you are needed you need just stop thinking

that all these morons on the internet have it figured out unless you want their life don't listen to them dude and start understanding that if you do listen to them and you're one of these people who was meant to come here and create you're going to waste your whole life trying to fit in a box with a bunch of people who aren't ever going to accomplish a thing What would have had to have happened in a week for you to look back on that week with pride okay maybe stop breaking promises to yourself when you

say I'm going to wake up tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. and when the option comes to hit the snooze button don't do it there's one win that you've got for the day that's action the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception which means that you are not with other people And rather than fighting that or bemoaning it see it as an indicator that you're on the right path because if everyone else were cheering you on then it means you're not in the right right place because it means you're just like everyone else and

that's not where you want to be you obviously don't want it bad enough because a person that I became obsessed I became obsessed with being the baddest that God ever created am I That I don't care I believe it and I was trying to tell him once you become obsessed with something obsessed it's okay to be unbalanced for a while it's okay don't be all this stuff people say you got to be balanced to be the best in the world at what you do it's not about being a Navy SEAL people the best at what

you do you have to be unbalanced to find every bit of energy and strength that you have to pull it off then you get balanced once You become great what you did back there was learn the lessons to get you to where you are at this particular moment right here but what God got for you do you know man that you can actually mess your life completely up you can jack it all the way up and you can turn around and get it right do you understand that do you understand that you could have had

a baby out of wedlock and still be all right do you know that you can be Divorced multiple times and still be okay do you understand that you cannot have a degree and still be just fine you want to know how I know cuz I'm telling you what I know I lost everything twice I don't know if you've ever lost everything before but I've been bottomed out twice I done seen Rock Bottom two times I've been through some walls up in here man I'm just trying to tell you man God is really with you your

journey is not Over I can't fight him he has all my weapons I have nothing when you began your journey you were determined nothing could stop you and now that you are so close are you willing to give up so easily it was easier at the beginning Beginnings are often easier but think of all that you have accomplished along your journey when you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe Then you'll be successful and I'm here to tell you number one that most

of you say you want to be successful but you don't want it bad you just kind of want it you don't want it bad than you want a party you don't want it as much as you want to be cool you most of you don't want success as much as you want to sleep some of you love sleep more than you love success and I'm here to tell you today if you're going to be successful You've got to be willing to give up sleep you got to be willing to work off for three hours of

sleep two hours if you really want to be successful some days you going to have to stay up three days in a row because if you go to sleep you might miss the opportunity to be successful that's how bad you got to want it it doesn't matter where you are in life it really doesn't because the great thing about Life is it's always your next move your next move that counts no matter where you are you could be look I was dead broke my electric bill was being shut off and there were obviously there were

people even like worse off than I was it doesn't matter you could change your life if you want to it's always your your next decision so it's up to you I don't want to live in a hole anymore it makes me Feel poor we are poor but we're happy come see comea anyway the views are better above ground honey I'm seven nonf Fox years old now my father died at 7 and A2 I don't want to live in a hole anymore and I'm going to do something about it after we Face a rejection and a

no or we have a meeting and no one shows up or somebody say you can count on me and they don't come through what if we have that kind of attitude the cars Repossessed nobody believes in you you've lost again and again and again the lights are cut off but you're still looking at your dream reviewing it every day and say to yourself it's not over until I win what's the point of fighting my way up the mountain when someone else is just going to come up the easy way there is always going to be

someone who does things the easy way but that should not stop you from doing things the right way It is your journey young Warrior only you decide when it ends look I love to sugarcoat this thing for you I love to tell you look you can go out here and get rich do a couple of things dang ain't happening you got to get real doggish you got to get downright funky if you want to make it now like I was telling you before if you want to be ordinary you ain't even got to listen to

me just go on about your business if you Think ordinary is cool ain't no problem it's some really really wonderful Ordinary People but if you are sitting in this room and you have extraordinary aspirations then you going to have to do extra you put extra on top of ordinary and you come up with extraordinary it's no other way you have to decide if you are willing to do the things to put you in that category rich people don't sleep 8 hours a day that's a third of your life it Ain't for 24 hours in a

day you cannot be sleep 8 hours a day you can't live in LA and wake up at 8:00 in the morning it's 11:00 on the East Coast the stock market been open 2 hours they already making decisions about your life and your ass will sleep no matter how much emotion and feeling you may have or how much hurt you may have life has to go on life doesn't stop anybody so if you don't process that and understand that you're stuck in whatever time period you Got hurt forever so grudges and anger and negativity I don't

have time for it because I'm living to do so much positive things right I can't I can't stand in the past and bathe in what was wrong and how you get to that point in life what I figured out it's so noisy right now this world is so noisy we we all walk around these phones computers the world is so fast we're not able to think the the most powerful weapon in the world we walk around with it it's Our mind it's our brain you have to be able to go into a very dark place

in your mind and figure who you are go back to what you want to do what's your purpose we can't figure our purpose out or why we're here or why we even born or whatever because our it's so loud in our mind we don't have any quiet time with ourselves to sit back and say what do I really want there's so many different dialogues in our head that we can't Think so my biggest thing is you have have to be alone in a very dark place in your mind to think about what is important to

you confucious had a great saying that uh you know every man has two lives and the second starts when he realizes he has just one get serious that's number one I don't know any substitute for that what do you want to do economically where do you want to go what do you want to be what would you Like to have what would you like to share how much would you like to earn how far would you like to go 10 years from now you will will surely become someone the big question is who I would

like to know when you're in that moment failing M and you have to keep going what do you say to yourself what if a lot of times I'll be in a 200 mile run or something like that and I'm all Jacked up body's broken mind's broken spirit's broken I started to say what if I can pull this off when I first walked into the Navy SEAL recruiter's office he looked at me and said there's only been 35 African-Americans in 70 years make it through you know I said to myself what if I can be the

36th it's the what if I can pull off a miracle what if I can become someone that no one thinks I can be and just that just me talking about that I have The hair gr up on my arms because it makes me just like what if is you are responsible for your life and if you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you to fix you to even help you you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward what matters is now this moment and

your willingness to see this moment for what it is accept it forgive the past take responsibility and move forward I came To realize that all the time I was praying to God asking for God to do something God was waiting on me if you don't change what you're doing and how you do it nothing else will change your biggest enemy is you my whole book is about you battling yourself people don't understand is you against you the only person that gets in your way is you nobody else it's you here's the big challenge of life

you can Have more than you've got because you can become more than you [Music] are that's the challenge and of course the other side of the coin reads unless you change how you are you'll always have what you got most people don't want it that badly which why they always ask the question man how do you get to where you are you know how to do it MH you know exactly how to be you or how to be me you don't want to do it so I can't Make you do it nor do I have

the time or energy to force you into that place that I know you have to be to do it there's no luck in this game it may be a little bit of luck but the luck happens after you bust your ass and you put yourself in that lucky situation luck doesn't happen you put yourself in that situation where luck might happen would I be able able to do it what uh you don't know until you say yeah I'm going to you Know what I'm going to take action nothing changes nothing changes man and I'm not

preaching at you I'm just I just want to remind you cuz you know I've spent a lot of time in my life sitting around wanting things to change um and not being able to make them change and and not thinking I could and I wish somebody had told me that earlier sometimes that in order for something to change there needs to be change it's you Against you you against you and if you misunderstand that give a real problem real problem I can understand you misunderstand me running down the street shirt off this no yeah I

can I can get it I get it if you misunderstand what I'm saying right now today the problem is you and you don't want to fix it here's how to get older without getting better keep relearning the lesson if you keep making the same mistake over and over the mistake isn't The problem you are there was no passion no drive no nothing but I had this fire that I'm going to be somebody and it has to be there because on all those bad days on all those days you don't want to do you have to

be your own motivator your own coach your own your own trainer your own everything and what that means is you may have failed miserably yesterday today but you come to work be like man you just lost everything how the hell are you this [ __ ] damn Motivated cuz this is what it takes it's not about the shoes it's about knowing where you're going not forgetting where you started it's about having the courage to fail not breaking when you broken laziness is something that has to do with you you're not connected to something deep enough

you don't feel the necessity you don't feel the devil at your heels you don't feel the fact that you could very well die tomorrow that Will impel you to get something done there's no necessity behind it and the human animal the way we were created is when we feel pressure we feel the necessity to get things done we can move mountains but when that pressure like almost like a barometric pressure releases and we don't feel the need to get something done we could become incredibly lazy because there's no necessity so you have to create necessity

in your life you have to Create the need to get things done why do that much why go that far Why Try to become everything that's a good question why and you're the only one personally that can answer that question for yourself one of the big thrusts for success is to come up with a strong enough why if the why is powerful the how is [Music] easy if the vision isn't clear the old Prophet said without a vision we die without a vision we perish without a dream we're nothing most people the bottom 80% are

lazy they're looking for an easy way they're looking for a shortcut to be successful and there are not there aren't any but if you do something repeatedly over and over you develop a habit so most people are in the habit of looking for easy ways to get the things they want it's almost like you have to Have the ability to go to the deep end no matter whether or not you'll ever go there right yes and some people are like well I'm never going to go to the deep end mhm but you should be able

to yes what are you willing to give up what are you willing to sacrifice what are you willing to forgo if you're struggling if you're frustrated with yourself if you're at that point where you're so sick of yourself and your excuses I've been There Steven's been there this is a normal part of the human experience and at some point either the pain is going to get big enough or you're going to bump into somebody's story somewhere on this planet who has been in the position that you're in right now facing the stuff that you're facing

right now and there is something about their story story at this exact moment in time that will ignite something in you that is missing and what is missing in you right Now is Hope Here's To The Crazy Ones The Misfits the Rebels the troublemakers the round pegs in the square holes the ones who see things differently they're not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo you can quote them disagree with them glorify or vilify them about the only thing you can't do Is ignore them because they changed things they push

the human race forward while some may see them as The Crazy Ones we see genius because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do [Music] playing out the fear Lea says this and I love it but that fear is a mile wide and an inch deep and so it looks like this Ocean that you're going to step into and drown but as soon as you step into it you realize it was not that deep at all and you can keep walking through it and um I

just love that visual because a lot of times when it's like we have this anxiety around this big decision we have to make if you actually take the step and realize that it's not death you're not going to drown immediately there's plenty of other steps you can take from there even if you get a little wet you Have to be open-minded to the possibilities that I can do this once you shut your mind down to the possibility that it can be achieved there's no way can happen is there advice you can give to young kids

that are living through a situation of any sort a tough life try to find a thing that you really enjoy try to find a thing that you're passionate about everybody thinks they're a loser every young person thinks they're a loser at Le at least a young person in the situation I was at like I didn't know I wasn't a loser until I started winning till I started doing martial arts martial arts taught me that like I could get better at stuff that it wasn't I wasn't really a loser I want to maximize what I can

I want to be the best that I can be I want to do things well and I don't want to leave stuff on the table but I don't want to be chasing the end goal so much that I never actually Enjoyed the process of getting there because ultimately that's really all that matters but you're going to look back at any destination realize that it was 99.9% journey and only you know one day of celebrating achieving the thing you're lazy you know exactly what to do exactly what to do cuz even me in my state of

I can't read and write I knew exactly what to do it just sucks doing it hey Theo this is uh Greg from Indiana I actually just Wanted to call and tell you so I was at uh work the other day and I just been kind of in this like rut at work it's not a bad job but I just really want to get out of it saw catching up on some of your podcasts and um you said something that like resonated with me you know you said nothing changes if nothing changes I thought about it

and I went home and I applied for a job I'm probably not qualified for but I was like I'll take a shot and the next day I get a uh call From him at the interview goes well she says she going to set me up with uh iners interview never even had it they uh emailed me few days later and I got the job so now I'm going to be doing a job that I think I will appreciate more and enjoy more and I'll be making double the money that I'm making now bro that's awesome

man that's really great congratulations for trying something new yeah it's crazy to sometimes think like what can happen if we decide I'm going To see what happens when I decide that I am qualified what happens when I decide for myself that I'm going to do something different I've made huge huge huge developments while I was staying up until 4: in the morning 5: in the morning running a nightlife business you can make huge developments in your personal growth Journey while you're doing a 9 to-5 you have this moment where you go well what If what

if this is the time sobriety sticks what if I go to therapy and I actually do change the way that I think what if I could get out of debt if that person did it maybe I could do it and without either hope or that kind of rock bottom moment I don't think you're going to change we can stay here get the [ __ ] kicked out of us or we can fight our way back into the light we can climb out of Hell 1 in at a time you are responsible for your life and

if you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you to fix you to even help you you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward what matters is now this moment and your willingness to see this moment for what it is accept it forgive the past take responsibility and move forward I came to realize that all the time I was Praying to God asking for God to do something God was waiting on me how many times do you have to hear if nothing changes nothing changes

right and yet somehow we expect things to change you're always afraid to take the first step because all you see is every negative thing 10 Mi down the road but you can do anything you want you are bound by nothing the time come for you to be your Own man man and take on the world and you did but somewhere along the line you changed you stopped being you you let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good and when things got hard you started looking for something to blame like

a big Shadow I'm going to have setbacks I know but if I'm feeling bad that doesn't mean I'm doing bad that doesn't mean I am bad that doesn't mean that I can't still take some action Because yeah nothing changes and nothing changes man cuz if you're thinking then you're not taking action and if you're not taking action then there's no consequence and if there's no consequence then there's nothing to be afraid of the overthinking can be an excuse for actual fear it doesn't matter whether I achieve all of my goals or I don't achieve all

of the goals in three generations I'll be forgotten and the only people who were naying against me Will also be dead and so then it's like just do it for me you know we'll sit around forever wondering well what if I what if I was a dog catcher would I be the best what if I was a you know we expect things to change you think you're going to get in better shape you think you're going to get more money you think your relationship is going to improve you think you're going to get promoted you

think you're going to get a raise you think the world is Going to get better without you doing anything but it isn't nothing is going to change unless you change what you're doing change the time that you wake up change what you do when you get out of bed that's what you need to do you have to change some things or nothing will change so make changes and start little get up a little bit earlier get a workout done that's what you need to do A positive place that you draw mental strength from when life

is difficult has to be I just want to be better and I'm trying my best that's all that there is you want to be better that is something to be proud of you want to leave it all on the field of play you want to make yourself as good as you can you want to make the world a better place you want to have an impact all of these things are just all positives what really breaks my heart is how stuck people Are and that there are things you can do to change your life for

the better if you don't have hope and you don't have this breakthrough where you have for just a millisecond this Insight where you go well what if things did work out if you don't have that moment most people stay so stuck in resignation if you are trying to battle the same boss over and over again and you don't change what you're doing and the boss keeps beating you then it's not The game's problem it's your problem you are the the problem I was not always this strong guy you see I went through a lot of

hard times in my life to get here today and um a story I'll tell you with real quick I tried once to get in the air force to be Air Force par rescent and I quit for fear of the water I was 175 lbs I left the Air Force 4 years later at 300 lb I went from 175 to 300 lb there's a Long story in there on how that came to be you're going to lose sleep you'll doubt whether it'll work you'll stress to make ends meet you won't finish your to-do list you'll wonder

whether you made the right call and have no way to know for yours this is what hard feels like and that's okay everything worth doing is hard and the more worth doing it is the harder it is the greater the payoff the greater the hardship if it's hard good it means no one else will do It more for you why pay the price why work this hard why go this far why try to learn this much why try to do it all Why Try To See It All why try to have it all why do

it why learn it why study why put yourself out why try to take on this much responsib ability why develop yourself to the full Why Try to become all that you can Possibly become so I Define learning by same condition new behavior and so when you go to a video game and you battle through the level and you battle the boss if you keep doing the same thing to the boss and you keep losing then you have not learned because you have the same condition and the same behavior and so I often say that like

for anyone who's listening to this podcast the goal is to get better and you're like man I Really want to learn from from this podcast if you listen to this podcast and then you're in the same exact conditions as you were before and then you do not change your behavior you learned nothing and so using that definition has at least allowed me to change my behavior faster which then goes into rate of learning which I Define as intelligence and so a lot of people are like man he's so smart but he just doesn't it's like

well then if he Doesn't change his behavior and he's in the same conditions he's not that smart the most that you're able to let go and not fear about stuff the more enjoyable you'll find it so the thing that is making you better is the thing which is making you feel pain and this is a perennial balance what would have had to have happened in a week for you to look back on that week with pride maybe stop breaking promises to yourself when you say I'm going to wake up tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. and when

the option comes to hit the snooze button don't do it there's one win that you've got for the day that's action the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception which means that you are not with other people and rather than fighting that or boning it see it as an indicator that you're on the right path because if everyone else were cheering you on then it means you're not in the right place because it means You're just like everyone else and that's not where you want to be when you were born you are

a phenomenon you are unique your DNA has never occurred in the history of the universe going back billions of years it will never occur in the future your life experiences with your parents and everything that you experienced in your early years going on up is unique it's yours you're one of a kind right so that is your source of power to waste that is just the worst Thing you can do in your life and what what the power is is finding that uniqueness what makes you you and how you can M that and how you

can go deep into and use that to create a career path if you can see it here and you have the courage enough to speak it it will happen you cannot change your life unless you change something if you always do what you always did you'll always get what you always got you will fail at some point in your life accept It you will lose you will embarrass yourself you will suck at something you can't wait for everything to be perfect to start living your life cuz I've I've been that's what I've done my whole

life has been like that inside of me it has been as soon as it's all lined up I'm going to show you myself as soon as I've got it all looking the way I want I'm going to show up for you I'm never going to get to that where everything's okay where everything looks a certain way and In the meantime I'm burning the best time I do have of available I'm burning that candle up I'm burning this candle down and I'm saying as soon as it gets bright enough or warm enough in here I'm going

show up but the candle's getting smaller it's more socially acceptable to be our own biggest critic than it is to be our own biggest cheerleader 10 years before I've heard it put into words if you can be in a bad mood for no reason you can be in a good mood for no reason There's a quote that I've fallen in love with the magic you are looking for is in the work you're avoiding the magic you are looking for is in the work you're avoiding it's supposed to be hard if it wasn't hard everyone would

do it the hard is what makes it [Music] great you need to just keep living listen to the pain it's both history teacher and fortune tell her pain Teaches us who we are we sometimes it's so bad we feel like we're dying but we can't really live till we died a little C people don't get it there's there's great joy in The Grind Great Joy in the suffer it it totally cleanses your body out man of any kind of hate makes you grow up what I want to invite you to do what I want you

to consider is that every single time you go and do something hard that's the Story you've told yourself that it's easier said than done you know it's it's kind of hard to do that well it's supposed to be hard look if growing stronger if growing stronger and building muscle were easy you'd have no reason to go to the gym you'd have no there would be no growth if there was no Challenge and I'm answering your questions every question I'm answering it I'm with you but in the back of my mind all I'm thinking about Is

all the times I could have won those matches that I lost by not bringing my best mindset you're haunted by all the opportunities that you missed by not bringing your best at that time when you could have won but you didn't win because you allowed life to interfere with that one shot when you're sitting there getting ready to serve for the match and your mind is not thinking about where that ball Placement needs to be but thinking about your family this or this at work or that at work that's greatness greatness is your recall on

every single shot that you missed throughout a 20-some year career every shot you can go back back and say I was here this person was in a red shirt there greatness is being so aware of the time of life in the second that went by and you can recall like it was yesterday greatness is being able to go Back there not making that same mistake again and being haunted by it there really are only two macro level motivators that we have in life and that's Pleasure and Pain I want people to understand is okay so

if nature only gave you two things to motivate you Pleasure and Pain why would you eliminate half of them and so most people think that life is about avoiding the pain I'm here to tell you right now in a very controlled fashion it is about Really experiencing the pain learning from it pain plus reflection equals progress obsession is going to be Talent every time you got all the talent in the world but are you obsessed is it all you ever think about let's face it it's you against you out there you have to think I

am the best ever I'm the most brutal and vicious and most ruthless Champion has ever been there's no one can stop me Lynx is a conquer no I'm Alexander he's no Alexander I'm the best ever I give you the map you are willing to do that it's the main the main point because everyone wants to be Cristiano but I give you the map you think you will do that it's difficult it's the discipline the discipline is the most difficult thing not only in the sports but but in life we did not come this far to

just break down and lose now I'm a winner I'm going to win hard work pays Off dreams come true like I see a lot of players take vacations with other players that are close friends and they just take vacations just to take vacations or just hang out just to hang out like I I'm not I never did that but a choice why why did did you do that well because when I retire I didn't want to have to say I wish I would have done more I don't want that I'm already working all of the

hours that I'm awake and I've already Given up Saturdays so the only thing that I have left is like Sundays and evenings and so I am no longer going to be watching any football and I'm no longer going to have Netflix at all lazy people do a little work and think they should be winning but winners work as hard as possible and still worry if they're being lazy success is the only Revenge as you expand they shrink into irrelevance as you get louder no one can hear them you don't beat them you cast a Shadow

so big no one can see them to begin with when people copy they copy the wrong stuff because they don't know why it worked to begin with and when it breaks they don't know how to fix it because they didn't build it so don't sweat it copycats will always be behind Champions are broken people look at Champions and try and find something that that champion has that they don't have he's like but it's not that at all he's like they lack Something everyone else has which is an off button they just don't stop cuz if

you're willing to go through all the battle and you got to go through to get to where you want to get who's got the right to stop you I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished something you really want to do some you never said to somebody something and you're told no even after you pay your dues who's got the right to tell you that who nobody it's your right To listen to your gut it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earn the right to be where you want to

be and do what you want to do and that's life the only thing I'm asking you guys to leave on the table is what's right if you think the price of winning is too high wait till you get the bill from regret and that bill from regret is generational from the group I had before I quit my job before going all the way like Ground Zero to today I talk to no One from that time in my life compared to today and I was absolutely miserable and unhappy and unfulfilled and I would say that the

majority of those people probably don't like me today because I changed I didn't do what I was supposed to do he thinks he's so fancy now etc etc and I think I'm just okay with that and so I think coming to terms with the idea that I could be absolutely rejected by everyone I know but like me I was more okay with that because the Alternative was I didn't want to live anymore say you close out the road trip tired 14 days 13 days whatever the hell it is don't mean nothing tired is only in

the mind you tell yourself you're tired you're going to be tired I don't get tired like show we coming home I truly believe we are all equal as human beings if we are obsessed with something and we truly pursue our Passion with everything we have regardless of any anything else if you are obsessed work hard put in the time you will succeed and and that is a philosophy that I carry my coaches carry and and to see LeBron James phenomenal phenomenal athlete share that belief is is inspiring right back to me it it shows that

we are thinking correct you know this is this is hard work this is an obsession nothing can be hard work here's here's the truth this is the Reality okay nobody's going to believe in you until you've already done it nobody's going to come and celebrate with you until you've already done it all right the work is going to come before the belief which means you're going to have to work for a longing time by yourself with no applause with no Awards with nobody telling you good job and then once you start to build something and

people start to see the momentum and they start to see the Result and you start doing some things then you're going to get a little belief you have to sacrifice greater the sacrifice greater the reward this is so true and when you when you do these things you'll start seeing that okay I used to do this and when you go out and you don't do it anymore it's very very clear that you've made the right decision cuz your friends will still be doing that and you'll find yourself that you don't fit in with the Crowd

anymore you just don't fit in do you want to be the best yeah I read something where you said you want to be best defender best shooter best how do you avoid complacency as uh an individual when everywhere you turn you're the man you're the number one sophomore in the nation what pushes you to continue to get better you know um every day you got to go out there and work because it's someone out there working too and if you stop I think they Can pass you up so every day my coaches push me I

push myself and my teammates push me my mother brought me up um real good and um it's pretty easy cuz the way I was brought up and she taught me so much things besides basketball and that's just help that helps me be levelheaded if all you guys are going left it's that one person who say you know what left's not the right way I'm going go right who didn't follow the crowd that person who's not afraid of Doing what they believe is right in their heart and not following someone else because someone else said let's

go this way and they agree with everybody I don't like yes men or yes women women if you're right you're right we're going to follow you I like people who stand for something they believe in something and this is the way I'm going to go whether you like me or not and that's what it's about if you want to kill a big dream tell it to a small-minded person I told Everybody at 10 years old I was going to be on TV I had a little problem when I said that I had a severe stuttering

problem I could not talk outside of my house so when I wrote on that paper the assignment was right on a piece of paper what you want to be when you grow up I'm 10 I wrote I want to be on TV that was that fate the belief in things that you cannot see I ain't see no way I could be on TV but I wrote it down I didn't know no better I just I'm 10 I wrote it down And she just said why would you write something like this on your paper and I'm

standing out I'm trying to get it she said who in this school ever been on TV who in your family ever been on TV I I who in this neighborhood ever been on TV I I I she said look at you standing there you can't even talk how they going to put somebody like you on TV so every Christmas I send her a flat screen TV cuz I don't want her to miss Me I want her to see what God had done for me you know I know lots of people who who never became successful

that worked really hard are do you do you do you really cuz I don't think you do I don't think you actually know anybody like that I don't think you know anybody like that I think people are where the they deserve to be people only root for people who don't need it like the amount of times when I was on my lonely path where I was too Different from the friends that I had but not successful enough to be friends with the people that I wanted to be friends with time to train train at that

time set the time to go to sleep go to sleep at that time set the time to get up get up at that time don't don't tell yourself you need to do something and then don't do it that's what I was talking about Ario I said I said I I I knew in my head I was saying get up at this time I got I Didn't get up at that time train at this time I didn't train at that time don't eat this I ate that don't drink that I drank it and these all just

infiltrate my mental strength just little kind of defeats exactly little defeats instead of winds and it just culminates into H and you just don't want to be here so I'm just figuring myself out like I've never figured myself out no matter what it is many times you Say to yourself I got to lose weight I got to lose weight I'm too fat and then you know what during the day you eat you eat at night and the next day you get mad at yourself well what do you want what do you want you got to

change something you cannot change your life unless you change something if you always do what you always did you'll always get what you always got but I think my Man strength it's my mind I think uh it's my strongest point it's my mind P the the numbers they don't like if you see during the last 15 years my my level is always kind of the same so effort dedication work hard because the talent is not enough any anymore and if you don't dedicate it 100% you're not going to reach the level that you want just

work like hell I mean you just have to put in you know 80 hour 80 to 100 hour weeks every [Music] week and work that all those things improve the ODS of success okay um I mean if if if if other people are putting in 40-hour work weeks and you're putting in 100h hour work weeks then even if uh you're doing the same thing you know that in in one year you will achieve what they achieve you you will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve and so like I used

to tell this when I was selling weight loss To people I'd say like who cares if you get in shape for 6 weeks out of 80 years and like right as they're about to sign up for a member I was like you want to sign and then this is how I would sell longer memberships but like it's also true it's like you want to sign up for the 6 weeks but like Susan like who cares if you lose 20 lbs and you're still overweight 6 weeks from now and then you gain it back the next

6 weeks and you're still the exact same Weight for the rest of your life and so I just I think the absolute dedication to maximization so that it becomes a part of your identity and your character has been one of the outsides returns that I've gotten in my life and just being absolutely willing to se like I'm I'm pretty violent about this but like list all the things that you aren't willing to give up for the dreams that you have and that is what the person who will beat you is willing to give up More

work is always going to result in better results in everything we do in life the more you put into something the more you're going to get out don't do so much you're doing too much [ __ ] Bullit I'm 33 and I've dedicated me full life for this I I had no I had no youth life I had no Teenage life I had no young adult life because guess what while all my friends people who I knew were out drinking and parting and enjoying life what was I doing running 10 m down the road in

in rain or killing myself in a boxing gym and then people say to me you know what you're lucky you're a lucky man you are I'm lucky because I [ __ ] worked all the hours that God gave me I'm lucky because I pushed it further than everybody else would Dar to do I'm lucky because I trained so hard that I can't be beaten that's a lucky man I don't think so I'm not lucky I'm blessed I'm blessed to have that Determination that drive and it's not for Success it's just to be happy today tomorrow

and the next day but most importantly be happy for today because you know tomorrow ain't promised to nobody as we all know quite clearly tomorrow was no certain gift at all but today we have well where do you go to you wake up on a morning it's cold it's wet it's dark you've got no cartilage in your knee you've got shorts whatever it Is that's the issue today keep talking you've got these problems right I need you to keep talking about what you were just saying it's warm on the couch your Mrs says stay in

bed it's comfy it's cozy you've got work later on you had an argument last night you're slightly hung over cuz I know every mother ain't going to do what I'm going to do the life we live guys is a differential of margins that's almost unmeasurable what is successful and what Is failure the differential are so small we're talking about seconds we're talking about you know reps we're talking about the finest Echelon of measurement that will make or break someone's life to be successful at that moment and once at that moment successful that gives a birth

of a lifestyle that's unbeatable second to none but in order to have that first success you must ensure yourself that you're giving it all you can today Because the future we don't know do we we're training for that and when I hear people say terms like good enough bothers me to an Nth Degree because they are saying something that is Justified at the moment but not Quant ative until a future Endeavor of life so therefore they are passing judgment on now for a future event that they know nothing about they're [ __ ] good enough

if you think about it good is a positive enough's a negative that's an Oxymoron right there it's hypocritical in his own sense there is nothing that's ever good enough the only thing that's enough is at the end of the day the nth hour the final hour whatever you're fing going for that your hand is raised victoriously that's when you know it's enough and you're in the gym right now to ensure that that event goes your way and it will never go your way guys if you're saying today is good enough if you never say good

enough Today I promise you tomorrow will always be enough whenever good enough isn't enough you can bet tomorrow you'll have enough I say it all the time you have to suffer you have to make that attack ttoo on youring brain so when that hard time comes again you don't forget it you may forget it for a second but you can go back in the cookie jar I call it it's a it's something that we've all endured I call it the cookie jar and we often Forget how hard we are but you got to reflect back

take a couple seconds reflect I've been through this I've been through that and then remind yourself I'm a bad mother and then you can get through that but if you don't believe it you hav endured you just blowing smoke man and you're not be get do anything you're willing to shoulder more than your responsibility of life because you you expect and demand something more of Life Champions mentality man hoping for a good result you're demanding a result you're going above and beyond what's expected in the gym what normal people do you do more than what's

normal because you want more than a normal Return Of Life Investment be the guy who Embraces the ugly the miserable be the guy who Embraces hard work the grind don't be afraid of being hurt don't be afraid of a second ficing some blood I tell you the harder and harder You work in here the harder and harder it becomes to accept failure out there second place isn't an option anymore guys the more you give it in here the more you get out there why would you not want to give it at all what else are

you going to do you come here and kill it right now or stay home on the couch you know watching the life pass by what else would you be doing right now taking the time off I'm taking the time to get ahead if it doesn't seem so so easy to You it's cuz you don't believe in yourself you believe in yourself you want to be in here killing it cuz it's giving you that much more of a chance cuz you believe you can pum that because they don't believe they can never get there so therefore

why take the precautionary steps to sharpen you know and home the Arsenal to really go to battle cuz they don't even want to go to battle cuz they know they're going to lose how do you want to look in the Mirror every single morning you want to positive reinforcement or do you want a negative one to go about you today how do you want people to see [Music] you it's supposed to be hard if it wasn't hard everyone would do it the hard is what makes it [Music] great one thing important is that we all

have these moments these moments in time that either make you or break you that Can determine the rest of your life the rest of your life can be determined by one simple decision and I had decision to make I wanted to quit I wanted to give up there wasn't some inspirational quote there wasn't some there wasn't nothing it was me myself and it was freezing out here I had to make a decision decision I make was to get up and keep on going that one moment changed the rest of my life to get something you

never had you have to do Something you never did what if a lot of times I'll be in a 200 mile run or something like that and I'm all jacked up body's broken mind's broken spirit's broken I start to say what if I could pull this off it's the what if I can pull off a miracle what if I can become someone that no one thinks I can be and just that just me talking about that I have the hair gr up on my arms cuz it makes me just like what if so in this

job you look you You're looking for cockroaches looking for rents and stuff like that and this next morning or this next night I went to work and I hit the I don't like cockroaches too much I hit the motherload of cockroaches and this restaurant got full of cockroaches and rodents and everything else and I sat there and said this is my life I said this is my life you are exactly who the this is it and I said this ain't going to be it for me so in that restaurant I Quit my job left my

canister in that restaurant my my spray can got back in my eolab truck and I went home and I started working out like somebody I was I became the most obsessed person on the planet Earth and I was basically I had to invent a guy that didn't exist I had to invent a guy that can take any pain any suffering any kind of judgment be called be called whatever the in the world and be able to stand Room and say go yourself I had to build I had to build this callous mind and I built

bu through suffering I built it through downright and just crushing myself if if it was raining outside 3:00 in the morning if it was snowing the first instinct is don't go out there and do sh my instinct was we got to go out there anything that Wasing horrible in my life that I would normally say no that was inhumane to most people I had to go do it and I started callousing my Mind at this point in my life
