we become what we think about focus on
what you want rather than focusing on
what you don't want so who do you want
to be you know why why did why are you
here on this planet you live according
to the principles of love compassion you
know appreciative joy you know
celebrating other people's successes but
how do you overcome hatred and confusion
and just having a good heart then I
think that's what happened to me then I
start to get clear about what what I
like to do and how I can be of service
how can I help other people that we were
wired for success but it's how we relate
to our experience that determines
whether we're chipping away or we're you
know kind of burying that sense of
wholeness that we that were born with it
just that we forget it we don't look
inside we're looking outside and so
unless we're still and we think about it
and we understand that I was born with
this masterpieces no one can give it to
me or take it away it's it's an inside
job and so if I look at what's right it
just it makes makes a lot of sense so
it's whether you're coming from a place
of scarcity or I would say survival mode
or coming from growth mode which has to
do with yes I can't yes to life and I I
have the capacity and the responsibility
to make it different but to make it make
it better having that faith that
vulnerability that just see things that
are hard to see gotta get comfortable
being uncomfortable so can you handle
the truth
it's a question and if you can't then
you if you see that that you can say
well is if I'm going to change I'm gonna
have to figure out how to deal with that
discomfort until the point that I can
see what I need to see then I can change
it so as the persistence of continuing
to do something that you can do it is is
most of the work this is just continuing
to make mistakes learn from mistakes but
the mistakes are viewed as feedback not
as I'm a failure it's just an event now
who we are so that error correction is
really important and when you can see
when you attributed this something you
can learn or change now you've got faith
and confidence to do it versus if you're
seeing it like oh I'm just not strong
enough I'm not tall enough and all of
that that's just that's what I call the
negative committee telling you you can't
do anything rather than saying well let
me see what can i what I can do
so it's like a child learn how to walk
right same thing your life can change
your life can be more than just a place
it can be your future your success this
change this change takes courage it
takes courage to stand up and break down
the aspects of your life that you know
is holding you back
let your progress be idolized let it
speak for itself
[Music]
average becomes sort of like this slow
asphyxiation it's almost like an
anesthetic and that overtime would
become kind of immune and dulled to the
average that we're becoming I know this
is true at least for me you probably
experienced it yourself too and so over
time we sort of minimize where we're at
in other words I'm a little pudgy
instead of being know your fat ass right
you know you don't magnify the degree to
which the pain ought to be affecting you
and so really what he means on that is
listen you're gonna get out of your life
what you'll accept that's really
difficult for people I think to
understand is look what you think you're
worth and what you're gonna tolerate is
absolutely what you're gonna bring into
your life and what the outward part of
your life is gonna look like and so I
live by that like I let myself sort of
feel the pain and the difficulty of
being not where I want to be in whatever
that areas were those would be my
spirituality my relationships my money I
let myself feel that pain because as you
know there's two motivators right
there's the gaining of pleasure right
wanting to go get something chasing the
dream but then there's the avoidance of
pain and for a lot of champions that's a
pretty big driving force for them and so
at least for me I I leveraged both of
those things on me to get myself to take
action one of the reasons I'm relatively
fit is not just peak State I have an
uncle and my family that died at 50
years old of a heart attacks my
godfather my dad's only brother I kind
of resemble him and I look like a plan
so on the way back from his funeral my
reticular activating art attacks on the
TV screen on the airplane I listen to
music is the Oprah Winfrey Show she's
going through a new heart scan
I've unplugged my headphones plug into
this airplane one I scheduled it I went
in I had a world-class doctor who
understood reasons and levers instead of
just prescribing coolant only coach well
you need to do this you need to do this
like doctors do it take his pill take
this
he understood leverage and reasons what
you do is to take the scan then you go
to lunch you come back I took the scan I
went those I had a burrito I came back
and I'm in the LA when I walk in I sit
down the doctor comes up and he says
oh my I can't believe these arteries are
in that young body got my attention we
walk back in we sit down he could still
go you need Crestor eat clean get out of
here is know what an average doctor does
right No wired me with huge reasons he
goes let me ask you a question I heard
your wife's pregnant you have I said I
have a son and he says do you want to be
there when he graduates from high school
to be there for that day I said yes sir
yeah he goes your wife's pregnant what
do you have it I said a daughter this is
where you get a dad he goes she was six
months pregnant he goes do you um would
you like to walk her down the aisle on
her wedding day are you okay that it's
some other man
I went what the zahn this skin right
like and he goes I want to be very clear
with you if you keep going down the road
you're going there'll be some other man
with your son at graduation high school
and a strangers walking your daughter
down the aisle that's not even born yet
on her wedding day and I went to him and
he goes but if you do exactly what I
tell you to do you'll be there and so to
this day brother there are mornings when
I wake up not every morning I don't want
to go to the gym I go Bella's wedding
Bella's wedding Bella's wedding so my
standards are high because of my big old
reasons other dudes may miss the gym
that day cuz they're not gonna miss
their daughter's wedding if they don't
go but I've convinced myself I will get
emotional
I've convinced myself on this my
daughter's wedding so I will get my ass
out of bed at 4 o'clock in the morning
and I will get to that gym because my
reasons are bigger so my standards are
higher so that's what I think causes us
to have great standards as huge reasons
when you're inspired by something or
someone in your life you feel the magic
now's the time to be the magic what are
you going to do are you going to let the
Masters inspire you to feel it or are
you going to strive to be a master
[Music]
it's your choice the magic is waiting
not only for you just a feeling but so
be it
nobody can take this away in your life
you can't escape anything that goes
along with life you know we are not
immune to problems
drama trauma the tragedy you know we all
here as human beings so you know when
you're going through some sort of
difficulties you know first fighting or
whatever that difficulty may be you know
you know we do with within your power in
terms of how to start slowly you know
get yourself out of that situation
and you believe you'd be optimistic
about you know being negative about a
situation stand in that place it never
helps you know it's nothing wrong with
understanding that place feeling bad
about it looking at it for what it is
but don't stay there you've got to get
back on that other side and start
looking at the resolved resolution of
how can I get back to feeling good and
feeling prosperous again to where I'm
not dealing with this obstacle
words are very powerful very powerful so
the thing is about getting within
yourself and understand who you are to
kind of you know what off those negative
comments that's coming towards my
virtually always prepared you know you
have to go for those things in order to
see it in light of the light at the end
of the tunnel you know I don't think
anything is going to just be like this
throughout your life and then you have
to go through that difficult overcome
obstacle because it's a testament of
your character of who you are in high
gear to deal with certain things you
know to get yourself back on it playing
field everything happened for a reason
no regrets all the negative things that
happened I'm thankful for it because I
learned hopefully I learned from those
situations and all the positive things
I'm humbly grateful that those was able
to take place and still striving to be
the best I can be and you know going
forward people didn't care at some kid
to be the best they could be you know
anything is possible positive thinking
is also translating them you know so
when you have something that's positive
up there you can be you know the best
you can be you know any negative out
there and you could bring down the worst
person misery loves company misery loves
company so we are not debbie down as we
more uplifters you know we always no
matter what the situation with the
situation is we're gonna try to look for
the outcome the better of that situation
you know if we can't find a resolution
to get out of it you know we're gonna
keep on searching the continue to try to
find a resolution to get out of because
that's what you do you know that's how
you get to the bottom of that's how you
get to the facts of Nass are you willing
to breath are you willing to be the
warrior bring your shield bring your
sword stand up and fight today will be
the day where you can take control take
control of your power become this power
because now is the time to fight you're
a warrior warriors don't give up and
they don't back down become the warrior
transform your life transform yourself
head out into battle step on to the
battlefield
use your weapons to fight through this
pain fight through the rejection learn
from the bruises the blood scars because
this time you can rise to become the
step on to the Plainfield because now is
the time to change now is the time to
rise with the crown on your head you
know you want to be a little bit better
in some way tomorrow than you are today
but it's not gonna be in a linear path
again these go through cycles of stress
and recovery so it's just kind of being
able to surf the flow of that and know
again it really comes down to balance so
it's the practices that you need to know
what to do for sure and then you need to
know how to apply those things in the
right way so when you when to push and
when to take the pressure off the gas as
well and I think that's really
understanding that so part of it is the
knowledge and then part of it is the
follow-through and then part of it is
the discipline to know not only when you
need to go but when you need to rest I
think it's important to really trust
that what you're doing is going to work
what's a day that makes life awesome and
and makes you again a little bit better
tomorrow from having done it today you
have to really do the work like you have
to back it with hard work you know any
of you ask Conor McGregor like what's
the secret to his success hard work hard
work hard work I don't know if he
actually worked harder than anybody but
he believes he does you know he has no
doubts in his mind that he's actually
working harder and and that's I think
important so
really making sure that you really do
your best to get the goods you know and
to in to practice that and go out there
and put yourself out there and then on
the other side what is the thing what is
the antagonist of belief well the
antagonist of belief is fear you know
fear is a belief that something negative
is going to happen rather than something
positive is going to happen so it's like
that's on the other side you're almost
believing in your failure right rather
than believing in your success so you
have to go attack and collapse these
different fears and part of that is
going to be sucking out the the penalty
if if you fail right because like a lot
of the fear comes because we're afraid
that we're gonna judge ourselves harshly
or whatever so you got to realize like
there is no such thing as failure
there's just learning right so you
collapse the penalty for failure so that
collapses the fear which allows you to
believe even more so that's one way to
do it and the other way is to just look
at fear itself
and play out the different scenarios
know that you're gonna be fine again
forgive yourself always and and really
also just attack fear wherever you see
it even when it's trivial even when it's
some kind of we were just before the
before we got on here we talked about
the fear of the number 13 true God trick
a phobia like if you're afraid of 13 you
know what you need to do you put 13s all
of you in house you know you need to
like sit in Thirteen's you need to go to
the 13th demand to be on the 13th floor
of every hotel in every airplane because
you got to get over that shit because
that is telling yourself that there's
something irrational that should control
you and if you believe there's something
that's irrational that should control
you that will apply universally so
wherever you find fear specifically
that's out of balance with actual danger
like I'm not saying touch a hot stove or
put your hand in a rattlesnake cage like
there's danger there that's not fear but
13 no danger you know that's not real
so go collapse that the fear of crickets
like I have a fear of like whatever it
is collapse fear wherever you see it and
that specific collapse will help with
the universal collapses
you just got to understand the only
thing that you're responsible for is
your best but he can't do better than
your best you just do your best and if
you try to obsess too much you're not
doing your best you're gonna be
paralyzed right so you have to get as
much information as you can make the
most educated choice make sure that
you're not choosing based on ego or
emotion or you know greed or these other
forces that delude you and prevent you
from thinking clearly but if you do your
best and you fail like what do you do
beat yourself up for that like that
doesn't make any sense if you're doing
your best if you're really laying it out
there there's nothing nothing more you
can do and and that's I think that
that's really the key is just to
constantly rest and rely on that fact
that I'm just I'm doing my best and
there's nothing nothing more than that
you know you have to really appreciate
where you are in the journey and say
yeah where you are is awesome but you
could be better cuz that's the the
process is becoming better right so it's
not it's not judging it externally by
any other criteria because every step is
good but the process of striving for
more in a process to really unfailing
who you are to an even greater degree to
getting cleaner and clearer and more
full and more robust and the best
version of yourself like that process is
a beautiful process I think it's one of
the reasons why we're here it feels the
best it feels the best to be continuing
on the path but that doesn't mean that
you look forward to a point in the past
say when I get there I'll love myself
when I get there I'll I made it like
love yourself where you are wherever you
are that's awesome let's still strive
for more because the striving is the
journey it's always the striving
if we were able to do like even a
fraction of the things we know we should
we would all be badasses you know but
there's so many things you talk to me
yeah I should be doing that yeah I
should be doing I know I should be I
should be meditating yeah I know I
should be doing this I should be eating
better I should be doing this and we all
know what we want to do to be the best
version of ourselves but for whatever
reason we don't do it you know and
there's a lot of reasons why but we're
not doing it and so the ability to
choose and actually decide what you're
going to do to be the not well to be the
art and say oh well if I believe I
should meditate then I'll meditate and
just collapsing that I know I should
with actually doing it you know that is
a superpower that's what defines the
greatest performers from the people who
haven't quite made it yet it's really
their ability to say oh if I should
train now I will know if I should eat
like this I will oh if I should do this
okay then I will it's collapsing that
knowing what knowing what you should do
and actually doing and making that one
and that's ultimately a choice
[Music]
we have way more power than we recognize
and what people will tell us that we
have so stepping into that power and
deciding for ourselves what we want to
do with it
what time is it right now look at it
face it
stand up to it what do you see what did
that number say to you how much of this
number have you wasted wasted on waiting
waiting for what what is it that you're
waiting for how much do you want ask
yourself this what's more valuable
waiting or your time your power and your
action this is where your journey starts
this is where you grow grow adapt
improve to become the person you admire
this is you this can be you stop failing
to respond to react this is how you
shape your life how you construct your
future make this what it is your success
all this work now are the steps before
you break the ribbon at the finish
this is your opportunity to change
change towards a better life towards a
life where you are the director where
you are the power the power that drives
you forward to success the power that
defines your life now that defines your
legacy your future this is the time to
become something more than or do
something outside the realm of expected
because you're more than you always have
been but in order for you to become this
you need to work you need to want it so
much it pushes you it pushes you outside
your comfort zone this is where it
starts this is where you become
something something better than now
where you build a life with yourself one
where you hold the reins where you make
the final cut where you have that power
you deserve this you deserve to feel
fulfilled proud and excited for this
newfound success you will and can embody
your future your legacy your life can
transform into the paradise you've
always imagined it could be your life
can change your life can be more than
just a place it can be your future your
success this change this change takes
courage it takes courage to stand up and
break down the aspects of your life that
you know is holding you back
let your progress be idolized let it
speak for itself let it leave a mark so
deep it can never be erased this den can
have such a positive influence on your
life that it can transform your future
transform your life using the potential
you know you've always had make your
life worth remembering make it worth the
pain it took the hours it used the
effort put in know to take pride in your
work know that your life can break all
possibilities break all boundaries and
become something beyond any expectations
human letdown you face rejection and you
failed fortunately when you hit that
point the only place to go is up I want
you to imagine that your life is a tree
the failure that you've just faced is
actually a seed and it's a seed that's
gonna grow your potential the light you
need is your mindset and the water is
your strength because the rejection you
feel right now is sprouting your success
and in order for you to grow you need to
feel the pain the pain of the struggle
is more than just some dark place you go
to it's actually a starting place a
place to begin trying and a place you
start to improve and that improvement
can be the start of the making of your
success look at me you're not five feet
under you're five feet higher than any
position you've ever been it
man stop bringing yourself down start
learning that you are more than just
your mistakes in fact they make you they
make you grow and they make you branch
out into a stronger and more courageous
person give yourself the space to grow
give yourself the space to grow into a
better in a more successful person to
see your potential is sprouting you've
got a better foundation now because
those roots are dug deep into the ground
and if something breaks you down know
that you can grow further past the point
you were at before because this tree can
only grow taller bigger and stronger
because you are stronger now so you've
got to know that this isn't a setback
this is just another ingredient that you
need for the success that's coming your
way it really is
stop making excuses take control of your
situation and rise to your potential man
I don't think that we would be here if
we didn't have a purpose I can tell you
that
it's our job to develop that purposes
I've dealt with find and hone in and
craft that purpose and the purpose is
usually crafted through some level of
suffering it's the hero's journey right
like in film you know the hero he's down
and out and he loses the girl in the in
the house and he goes on this journey
and he finds strength and wisdom and
knowledge and comes back and is now the
hero we have to go through that level of
suffering there's this hunger that
everyone has and it's always neutered my
family my teachers my culture and I
believe you wouldn't be put on this
planet if you didn't have this hunger
and if you explore this hunger and for
me it was done being a fat kid than
being a being a foreigner and then a fat
kid and then fixing my problems and then
realizing I have the solution to other
peoples weight-loss problems for someone
else it might be a financial thing you
know they fix their financial problems
and they realize they can help everyone
else's financial problems but you have
to go through the suffering you have to
be hungry enough to deal with the pain
and come out the other side with some
scars because scar tissue is infinitely
more resilient than regular tissue but
again goes back to most people feel like
yeah I think there's something great in
me but I don't want to explore it I want
to play it safe I'm gonna stay bubble
wraps I don't want to risk it but we
wouldn't be put on this planet if we
didn't have this greater thing to
accomplish now some of us are going to
be Elon Musk and were going to shoot a
Tesla to the Mars right and that's okay
and others are gonna create a fitness
franchise or a or a supplement company
that actually delivers you know great
nutrients that help people in eyes their
performance whatever your purpose is
you've got to develop it you got to
develop it but you wouldn't be put on
this planet if you didn't have it I'm
convinced of that not enough people are
willing to build that mental emotional
toughness and the moment they do they'll
go perseverance nothing happens until
you get done everyone's got a great idea
it'll make me this many millions and
it'll help this many people nothing
happens so you get that done put
yourself in a position where you're
gonna thrive not where it's gonna be
comfortable right get done
I believe we all are raised this fighter
jets just we get neutered by parents by
grandparents because of the filters they
had and viewed life through the
experiences they had teachers who go you
don't want to disappoint yourself just
go to college go get a good job go to
college don't go to college today don't
go to college it's the worst thing you
can do and that's going to be a doctor
or an attorney or accountant or you know
some kind of an architect don't go to
college you can do a lot more in life
with that go to college and so again
teachers professors will end up
neutering us and when they take they
take that fighter jet that hunger the
claws and fangs they've defamed us
alright so now we're crop dusters I
don't want to take too many risks I just
want to live a good life and they want
to be average and mediocre that's the
crop duster yet everyone inside has this
hunger see the fighter jet didn't go
away it's just been suppressed
you've been neutered and that was me
like hey don't take big Ridge just go
get a good job go be a smog technician
like that was the advice I was given
gonna be a smog technician Society
parents who ever have set the standard
for you to not play it safe it risks
what if you lose what have you lose you
care as long as you don't die you can
come right back and so the fighter jet
mentality is that someone who is just
determined relentlessly obsessed and
achieving an outcome in the face of all
adversity the crop duster is someone
who's always looking for the easiest
path to loophole which what I used to be
a severe crop duster the composter hits
the snooze button every day because
they'd rather take 10 more minutes of
mediocre sleep than getting up and
dominating their path every morning on
my nightstand there's two stacks of
dominoes lined up and at the top of this
stack says you're a loser the top of
this one says you're a winner if I hit
the snooze button I've hit that first
domino in the loser stack the rest of my
day is gonna suck now with that
mentality am I gonna ever hit snooze
again absolutely not because I've sold
myself on the idea that when I hit the
snooze button I'm an absolute loser I'm
scum of the earth I am my day is
destined to be shitty now some people
are you being off
yourself more people should be hard on
themselves we go around bubble wrapping
ourselves right we lead the training
bills on for too long like be hard on
yourself take up the bubble wrap off
take the tikki training wheels out no
one did that for me man to be a fighter
jet me a fighter jet go to battle every
day take risks that's what a fighter jet
does a crop duster as a routine life and
it's been boring every day is a new
opportunity to change your life every
day is a new opportunity to make your
life a better place to live in your life
is at stake
think right now what you've done
differently from the things you did
yesterday
perhaps you got up an hour earlier
maybe you meditated or you went to the
gym if you know that you haven't made
any change today
then make this your day take this
opportunity change you're better than
you were yesterday because you know that
today and the day after that you will
make progress you will know that you put
in the work that you earned the
improvement you need to push yourself so
you feel the satisfaction that you've
made further and further past your
original routine further and further
past your failure there is nothing else
you can do but work to work harder and
harder the struggle is the only way you
know you're going to succeed and take
this new opportunity and make this
change in your life you will be better
take this risk take this opening this is
the time to make your life a better
place to make your future a place where
you can see yourself achieve
a future where your life is somewhere
where you can create your own Empire
know that not all of your successes has
to be exposed or flaunted be humble
that's even more important than the
progress you've made
use your success for you and only you
use your success to boost your life into
the next level use your success to make
you grow into a more courageous and
stronger person you are you for one
reason to be yourself to use the
potential you have as a person and make
this your future use this as your first
step into success change the way you
view life switch your perspective of
success and use it in the right place
confident to stand up and take
responsibility for your mistakes and
courageous enough to make mistakes in
the first place educate yourself be this
person become the person you've always
wanted to be you need to make this
transition for your future to make your
life better and bigger you will be who
you need to be motivate yourself with
that
the vision of your future the future of
a successful life
what's the favorite lesson you've ever
learned what is your biggest achievement
you've ever accomplished and then what
is your greatest success I want you to
think about it think about how you got
there where you needed to be in order to
get there in order for you to make that
kind of progress what challenges did you
have to pass what limits did you have to
crush what hurdles that you have to
overcome now I want you to think about
that satisfaction that overcame you when
you accomplish these things how did you
feel and how do you need to feel right
now feel like you have the opportunity
to repeat those actions that you once
did because let me tell you right now
you do make the progress now make your
progress for the better for you to make
more progress you have that potential
now go ahead and spark your success and
spark your inspiration that inspiration
it yields the progress that you need to
make use the tools you have use your
tools because no one can do it like you
can all right use this inspiration while
you have the opening stop living in the
past start thinking about your future
the future where you can succeed that
future is actually happening around you
right now
so take control of your future now by
living in the present living for now
because that at the end of the day
is the only thing that mattered boost
your life make your life and live your
life it's this time in history that most
people are wasting on the wrong stuff
they're spending it on Netflix or
fortnight or going out with their
friends are drinking and if you want to
do that that's fine you know enjoy your
can mediocre ship life but like there's
so much more that you can do with weird
knowledge and studying you make a
mistake it's a part of life it's part of
the journey you know you have to
appreciate the lows you have to respect
the lows celebrate the highs but respect
the lows don't block them out and don't
ignore them in order to be successful I
think this is the biggest thing you have
to be so dedicated to your craft and so
passionate about it so single-minded
focus on that
you know tasks and most people just
don't take you that seriously they're
like yeah I want to be a millionaire
yeah like well I meet people and they're
like oh you're that millionaire and it
like a smile comes on their face like oh
how do I become a millionaire but they
don't really believe it they're not
asking seriously they don't they're not
willing to put in the thousands of hours
requires like there's no magic formula
this isn't like get-rich-quick and those
people who do get rich like the lotto
winners like they're tough because they
didn't earn it they don't don't
appreciate it they don't understand it I
think that going through the ups and the
downs is what makes you appreciate
everything
[Music]
you have to find meaning and for me and
a lot of people like you know you're on
this journey like I want to be
successful I want to be rich that's what
I want but what about when you get there
you don't have a plan for that so now
I'm trying to teach you know all about
charity and giving back in the lessons
that I've learned now from being rich
for several years and it's not what you
might think there's a lot of stuff that
comes with being rich and you don't
realize it and you know that's life
because the world and even school
teaches you teaches us in so many ways
to you know work on our weaknesses to
get stronger and I think that's a huge
flaw I think we just get great at what
we're good at we only need to be good at
one or two things and we can make an
impact on the world
everybody's in a vehicle like your
wealth creation vehicle whether that's a
job you don't like or a job you do like
or business you started or business
that's crushing or business it's not
doing great you have this vehicle and
when this vehicle is not working we're
looking on the road of all the other
shiny cars and it's like oh man I tried
selling stuff on Amazon that's not
working I'm gonna go in the car business
the real estate business I'm gonna go in
a speaking business the the nutrition
business the suppli and you're looking
for another car to jump in and I realize
people jump from car to car to car their
whole life looking for satiation looking
for satisfaction looking to make more
money if you can stop jumping from
vehicle to vehicle the vehicle you're in
might be the right vehicle but you don't
have the right habits or the right
beliefs or the right rules whatever you
want to call it my books habit so I call
them habits but it's really the
foundation for success so you can
overcome the obstacles you don't like
negative people in your life steer you
in different directions it doesn't you
know even people who ask me about
productivity people say how do you get
so much done how do you run a business
and still coach the little league in
baseball and saw how do you do all those
things it's because of just simple
success habits like I just wrote
something on this recently I said you
have to treat your decisions for
productivity like binary thinking which
is X's and O's black and black or white
yes or no is this moving me toward a
better version of myself a wealthier
version a happier person or is it not we
never give ourselves credit we'd never
treat a friend the way we treat
ourselves it's like I know I've had days
I've gone till 10 o'clock at night go
man I got nothing done today the biggest
lie like we beat ourselves up we just
were like these racehorses we wouldn't
even treat a racehorse that we owned as
bad as we treat ourselves right so I
wake up and I'll do a quick little
gratitude and they'll say what was one
win yesterday that I accomplished I'm
like wow you didn't do that yes and then
I'll think of one win I want to do that
day like what I'm gonna need a million
things done thing what's a must today
that would be a great win
I don't think we should drive for money
I think we should drive to be a better
version of ourselves when money was no
longer a worry for me I drove into me
and I have been ignoring and tucking
down a lot of crap for a lot of years
and I was surface-level I look like the
guy that had it all going on but
businesses are doing good I'm amazing
children company thriving I live in the
right neighborhood Drive do I have the
right friends I thinking looked great
but it was all masked and when money got
out of the way I was able to find
digging to me and do my own personal
development and my own personal growth
and really find the things that I wanted
to fix so I could become a better
version there might be something that
makes you a lot of money but it robs
your soul so there's that balance and I
think that doesn't happen oh that
doesn't happen in your 20s and maybe not
in your 30s at least been for me I was
just fighting to be successful in my 20s
and 30s but this face I wish someone
would have grabbed me at 25 and said
you're gonna make all the money you want
you'll have all the success you want
make sure your soul is aligned with that
money
and every time I don't know about you
every time I align my values my soul my
purpose whatever it is you want to call
it with my businesses and my profits
they always soar without having to
obsess on the you know on the numbers
great people don't have anything magic
they worked relentlessly for years and
years they decided that they were going
to be great they decided that they
didn't want to sit back and hide they
decided that they wanted to shine they
decided that their name would be in
lights and people would admire what they
do if not for you decide to be great for
the world success never stops never
stops to breathe never takes a day off
never looks to take a break we already
have enough problems on this planet be
different be a person who makes a
difference be a person who makes a
change for good be a person who has an
impact on the world you need to become
someone and you need to become your
future you're gonna handle your power
and feel your potential you gotta feel
this pain to progress to change to feel
fulfilled to feel satisfaction this is
where everything can and trust me it all
will fall into place stop denying the
world of your greatness you need to see
every single day as a bank account
nobody is poor nobody is rich
everyone has 24 hours each and how you
spend your balance each day will decide
who you become now pay attention to
every detail take every day like it's a
brand new spankin opportunity take every
risk as if it's a stepping stone into
the future you're carving out for
yourself because you have control you
have the control to change in the
control to improve the action and
improvement spend your time wisely
do not waste it on things out of your
control
if the weather is bad do not waste time
feeling down about it if it is out of
your control move past it look for the
things that you can control it all takes
resilience resilience to push past any
boundaries and push through every risk
every hardship every wrong
turn right now right here is an open
door the door that puts you on the path
towards success losing 24 hours because
of the bad 10 minutes is like throwing
$10,000 away because you dropped a few
pennies you have control you have
control over your future a future fueled
by your success constructed by your
progress it all begins right here and it
all starts right now don't waste one
more minute sitting and thinking I want
you to spend your next minute acting
take your own direction and write your
own rules you need to write the next
chapter the next chapter that pushes you
through towards a story and a story that
you can finally be proud of now is the
time to become someone you believe in
someone with purpose don't stop now
don't stop until you know you can make
it stand up to your success stand up to
your power this is your opportunity take
it take it like you own it because you
do be sure know your purpose your worth
your intention your drive to strive
towards success life is in your hands it
has always been in your hands
this is the time this is the time to
make it past your fears your boundaries
this is the time you break them shatter
them make them a part of you build your
future from the remains this is where it
starts now is the time to succeed the
power is in your hands the power to be
something more something that has
potential you know that you've always
had it take the opportunity take the
risk take the risk now before it's too
late it's never too late never stop this
is where you can begin work hard work
become the person you admire you know
that you can be the best all it takes is
power drive and work work until it hurts
this is where you succeed this is how
you succeed you can be you can be so
much more start thinking about what
you're actually doing
like you're gonna only be so pretty
you're only gonna be so smart like you
like there's there's things are gonna be
natural and there's things that you can
actually control I do believe and I
don't know if I'm right or wrong I don't
but I do believe that work ethic is a
taught behavior it's something you do
have more control over
I feel like there's a shift that can
make people work harder the big one that
I push is you're gonna die like like if
your complaint like to me life is broken
down into complaining and not so if
you're not complaining well then I know
I have no advice for you but I'm pumped
like you did it great people don't have
anything magic they worked relentlessly
for years and years they decided that
they were going to be great they decided
that they didn't want to sit back and
hide they decided that they wanted to
shine they decided that their name would
be in lights and people would admire
what they do if not for you decide to be
great for the world
I think so many people are keyboard
activists right everybody's good at
sending a tweet about how the world
should be and nobody's doing anything
about it and that just that is just very
much human nature
[Music]
but let's not be naive I mean people
literally complain when somebody gives
them the wrong amount of like extra
cream in a Starbucks $6 coffee my lack
of interest in complaining is so high
and when I watch what people complain
about it breaks my heart because they
completely lack perspective and i
genuinely believe my happiness and
optimism comes from my perspective even
in political unrest times like right now
a lot of people very bent out of shape
but the reality is is that it just never
been better to be a human being it's
that's just the truth that's just data
that's that's reality and yeah I mean
it's just a very fun time to be alive so
much going on be prepared in life for a
lot of rejection because if you're
prepared for a lot of rejection it comes
you don't get turned off you don't get
disappointed like well I'm not gonna do
this anymore no one thinks it's a good
idea it's like I say selling
encyclopedias not kinda hundred doors
they slab them you're faced you must be
just as enthusiastic on door number 101
as door number one
[Music]
we're all worth far more than anyone can
imagine
our power honestly is endless in our
potential has the power and make
something real out of the life you live
that's crazy but your life is now you
can alter your future this is where you
begin to and this is where you start to
succeed now this moment around you right
now
that's the secret power that you have
time is your power this time you have
the potential to succeed to be something
with purpose someone with power there's
so many people there talking about how
big of an entrepreneur they're gonna be
and how much they're gonna achieve and
they don't work on weekends
you know I worked every Saturday of my
20s like and I talk to 20 year old
entrepreneurs every single day lately
I've been saying to them this Saturday
you're gonna have more time off than
I've had in my entire 20s on a Saturday
so like before you tell me how you're
gonna be bigger than me
start thinking about what you're
actually doing
we're beating ourselves up like
everybody sucks at something right like
we all have shortcomings and we all have
strengths and for me it's like why don't
we just audit that like why don't we
just look at it that way and be like
alright well I'm good at this but I'm
not good at that like and then and then
and then I only focus what I'm good at
right like I don't dwell that I can't
fix it around the house I call somebody
to fix it like I'm not like I'm not a
man I don't give a fuck like you know
like like you know like I don't I don't
get it like we all like I also think
it's awesome that I'm so emotionally
stable and I'm the emotional backbone of
everybody is that what a dude's supposed
to do like like these cliches these
stereotypes they're so silly
you're exactly right man I don't judge
myself I'm fully in love with myself but
I'm also fully in love with everybody
else too right it's not like like it
goes both ways
like I tell people to buy into me that
work for me it's cuz I buy into them
first like I don't need anybody to gain
trust with me I've it's they're like I
believe if the human race is so grossly
underrated we are good of course we have
some bad there's and seven billion of us
but like when you look at our net score
it's bonger like you know any damage we
can be doing to each other on a hourly
basis and we don't like we're still here
like we won were the Alpha being and
we've figured out how to stay together
this is insane when you think about it
and yet everybody wants to dwell on like
somebody said something mean we already
have enough problems on this planet be
different be a person who makes a
difference be a person who makes a
change for good be a person who has an
impact on the world
stop denying the world of your greatness
you need to see every single day as a
bank account
nobody is poor nobody is rich
everyone has 24 hours each and how you
spend your balance each day will decide
who you become spend your time wisely
do not waste it on things out of your
control be prepared for a lot of
rejection whether it's in their personal
life that someone says you're too old
you're too fat you're too young you're
not going to do anything other than yes
you've got holes in your nose you got
these coming out your ears
whatever is other than yes this is
wonderful realize this can happen in
life as soon as people know that when
something goes wrong they look at a
piece of paper oh yeah that reminds me
but the best thing that happened to me
no one helped me no one felt sorry for
me no one looked at me and said like
this day and age though they'll take you
in and it'll tell you bye stop picking
on this person back then any care the
only person that's to turn this person
around it's me you don't reckon
turnaround is put myself through the
worst things possible a human being
could ever endure and I'd be the only
way that I can build this brain to
handle anything that comes in front of
him callus in my mind through pain and
suffering
don't be afraid to step up to your fears
don't be afraid to even become your
fears take this opportunity now to be
worthy of the success you want to be the
person that you admire someone who takes
extra steps to be more than they could
ever imagine those extra steps putting
in those extra hours
as humans we we want to find out how to
be someone else what we don't do is we
don't go inside so literally turn
yourself inside out read the book that
says like like we're writing a book
every day for life but we never read
that book so what I would challenge this
young man or or you don't want me to do
is you have to look inside of here so if
you see what you really want what are
you passionate about we use these words
and these little phrases of only the
strong survive and also the crap they're
all just fucking words take this as your
opportunity to change your life for the
better to enjoy the life you deserve to
have the future you've worked for the
future you know you can have use this as
a tool a tool to motivate your life
through your success this is where it
all starts
kick off your life in the direction that
pushes you towards a life a life where
you can take control make sure you know
which direction you're headed in
organize your world in your favor your
favor for your purpose for your future
this is the opening to take you towards
a life full of success you have this
control you have always had this power
unleash the animal the only way you're
ever going to get to the other side of
this journey is you have got to suffer
to grow to grow you must suffer and some
people will get it something wrong but
they have to see what their journey is
to start their journey several people
live to be 100 years old
they have great lives and they have
great kids the kids go to college long
sort of stuff but somewhere in their
life there was a point where they had a
decision to make they can go left or
right on this path
left was the easy route right was a hard
rock
[Music]
allows you to take the easy route and
they had a good life that way
but the better life was going to the
right side and you may have 20 years of
pain and suffering to get past it but a
lot of us die never truly starting our
journey and I would tell this to a
person you got to start your journey it
may suck but it will it will come out
the other side where you're coasting
just keep doing the right thing and the
good thing it'll happen the reason
people change is because of pain my
relationship with pain runs deep and
it's complicated on the one hand I love
pain I love trying to push the outer
edges of envelope of what the pain
experience is in a physical sense and
it's also been my greatest teacher in
terms of things that I've accomplished
but also my errant ways as well
pain is truly the only thing that's ever
gotten me to change so it's been my
growth accelerator as well as my
reminder of when I've gone astray okay
so there's a difference between pain and
suffering there's a difference between
there were we're all suffering we all
have suffering we all have an emptiness
or a dark place or corners inside of our
spirit in our mind that are not
fulfilled and watered and full like we
all can relate to that and when I'm
talking about pain I'm not necessarily
talking about suffering but
acknowledging our suffering being in
touch with the pain that's enough to say
when you're really honest that's enough
to say I
I don't want to do the same like this is
not the person I want to become and be
on a regular basis if that's the case if
that assumption is right then as a loved
one my job is to help you get real and
experience those places as often as you
can so that you make the declaration to
say no no no that's not okay for me to
feel and be this way on a regular basis
you know we're so conditioned to avoid
pain every message that we see every
billboard we see every advertisement
that we're exposed to is telling us that
happiness can be can be purchased
through comfort luxury through ease and
that's sort of implicit in that is that
that's how we find happiness and I can
tell you that I'm happiest and most
alive when I'm butting up against the
outer edges of my pain threshold and I'm
not afraid of it and so when I start to
feel that sensation rather than shirk
away from it I realize that's an
opportunity to experience a heightened
sense of myself in my environment to
really be in a position where everything
else falls away and it's just you and
your ability to take one step forward
there's a purity to that that again
isn't another great feature and so in
terms of techniques I've just learned
through experience that just like David
Goggin says when the signals that you're
receiving are telling you to stop that
you don't necessarily have to pay
attention to that that that you are
capable of so much more if you can
develop the acuity the presence of mind
and the wherewithal to then take that
next step and when you're on the other
side of it to realize you're still okay
and you can take another step and a
whole your horizon extends and you
realize that there's a whole world of
potential and possibility available to
you that you weren't previously aware of
[Music]
never should never exist in your world
if you want to improve if you can see
yourself being better never should even
be in the picture you have the power to
do anything possible the power to
transform into somebody capable of
anything you can imagine this this is
the power you deserve let your success
let your mindset be the beginning the
journey doesn't in here this journey
doesn't end when the Sun goes up when
the sun goes down it doesn't end when
you close your eyes doesn't end for one
second because hard work waits for
nobody let yourself be heard let your
power speak for itself
let your beginning be the potential to
take you further and further along your
path to success you are the only
inspiration you need you are the only
force it takes to be someone more to
have so much more remember your worth as
a person remember the possibilities of
your power the fruitful future that
lingers over your shoulders this is
where you never say never never say
never to any possibility to any
opportunity to any mistakes to any fear
you say yes this this is the only way to
grow
I think that that most people set the
wrong goals for themselves and it's
because they're disconnected from who
they are they are living someone else's
life or they're living a life that's so
disconnected from who they are it
becomes very difficult to set the right
goal so I think in order to reconcile
that you have to look inward you know
and that can be different for everybody
that can mean a consistent meditation
practice that can mean therapy that can
mean you know starting to do yoga
it can mean many many things but I think
there's no and run around the very
difficult long process of really trying
to be honest with yourself about who you
are what's important to you what you
care about and then beginning to breathe
life into those things as frivolous as
they may seem to bring expression to the
things that that you do care about that
that that get you excited in the morning
and that doesn't mean you quit your job
tomorrow but the more you can foster
something that has personal importance
to you I think that's the first step in
trying to
move past whatever it is that's holding
you back
whether it's professionally or
personally to being a more integrated
authentic version of yourself
let this be the moment you remember
show yourself as the rocket in your own
life this is the journey you're on you
control the progress you make you
strengthen the path that transforms you
into the person you've been waiting to
become the person that allows you to
become someone new you have the skills
to be bold the strengths to grow faster
the power to be stronger the journey
you've waited for is here here for you
to be something better this is the
opportunity in front of you this is your
future staring at you face to face
waiting for the power to be granted to
you your power is welcomed welcomed by
your progress your progress that guide
you towards your future be someone you
can take pride in become someone you
know that you can become this is the
journey you have the journey you're on
take the first step towards success take
the first movie of faith into the risks
of your life push past the limits move
toward a future you can imagine a future
use design this is your power
self-reliance is everything don't don't
expect anybody to do anything for you
I'm the only one who can get it done and
if you just buckle down and go the extra
mile you will solve the problem and you
will make your way in the world
you know we all have a unique song and I
think most people to echo the words of
Henry David Thoreau are leading lives of
quiet desperation and go to the grave
with the song still in them and I find
that tragic and so if there's anything
that that that my work is about it's
about helping people become cognizant of
that and to take action so that they
don't become that person leading a life
of quiet desperation which I think I
don't know I wouldn't want to say most
people but a lot of people are and I
found out heartbreaking
you know what's your major malfunction
right now what's the thing that keeps
you up at night do you resent the most
what are you afraid of what do you want
to achieve what's in it
what's in it what do you think is in
your way you know I think just by asking
people questions and and and and then
holding a vision for that better life
for them to say I believe in you I'm not
here to tell you what to do or how to
live your life but I believe in your
greatest expression and I'm gonna hold
space for you
to give people permission to be honest
to be vulnerable we're so afraid of
being vulnerable
we're terrified of being honest we're so
used to being judged and being held to a
standard that society sets for us that
we don't give ourselves permission to
even ask these questions let alone
answer them
what have you done today to be different
what have you done to step outside the
conventions that you set for yourself
the conventions and the rules set by
your past today you have the power to
move on today you have the power to move
away from your past and move towards a
successful future
this is your decision your call to make
in your future
this is how your life can gain its own
direction and this is where your life
can be so much more so much better you
can make it better you have always had
the potential to take one more step the
potential to take the risks others are
too scared to take because you are more
and you are stronger and you have the
determination and the courage to be so
much more
