00:00:33.928 --> 00:00:36.254
Let me tell you something you already know.

00:00:36.254 --> 00:00:38.724
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

00:00:38.724 --> 00:00:40.953
It's a very mean and nasty place

00:00:40.953 --> 00:00:42.662
and I don't care how tough you are

00:00:42.662 --> 00:00:44.864
it will beat you to your knees and keep

00:00:44.941 --> 00:00:47.299
you there permanently if you let it.

00:00:51.193 --> 00:00:52.670
Life is tough, that's a given.

00:00:54.884 --> 00:00:58.087
When you stand up, you're gonna be shoved back down.


00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:00.840
When you're down, you're gonna be stepped on.

00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:04.903
My advice to you doesn't come with a lot of bells and whistles.

00:01:04.903 --> 00:01:08.909
It's no secret, you'll fall down, you stumble,

00:01:08.909 --> 00:01:11.792
you get pushed, you land square on your face.

00:01:18.806 --> 00:01:21.819
Life is scary. Get used to it.

00:01:21.819 --> 00:01:24.702
There are no magical fixes,

00:01:24.702 --> 00:01:26.754
it's all up to you.

00:01:29.834 --> 00:01:33.651
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

00:01:33.651 --> 00:01:36.232
But it ain't about how hard you're hit.

00:01:36.232 --> 00:01:39.542
It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward

00:01:39.542 --> 00:01:42.980
How much you can take and keep moving forward

00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:44.610
That's how winning is done!

00:01:46.899 --> 00:01:50.904
A lot of people in this world, search endlessly

00:01:50.904 --> 00:01:55.731
for some complex, magical formula to understand

00:01:55.731 --> 00:01:58.631
why some people are successful

00:01:58.631 --> 00:02:00.600
and why others are not.

00:02:01.385 --> 00:02:07.614
Greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive,

00:02:07.614 --> 00:02:15.680
god-like feature that only the special among us will ever taste.

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.097
It's something that truly exists, in, all of us!

00:02:21.097 --> 00:02:23.433
The heaviness of being successful,

00:02:23.433 --> 00:02:26.287
was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again.

00:02:26.287 --> 00:02:28.483
I'm convinced the only thing that kept me going,

00:02:28.483 --> 00:02:30.784
was that I loved what I did.

00:02:30.784 --> 00:02:32.846
You've got to find what you love.

00:02:32.846 --> 00:02:36.408
There's a certain delusional quality,

00:02:37.024 --> 00:02:40.397
that all successful people have to have.

00:02:41.089 --> 00:02:44.829
When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe,

00:02:44.829 --> 00:02:46.428
then you'll be successful.

00:02:46.511 --> 00:02:51.980
The only thing you care about when you trying to breathe is to get some fresh air.That's it!

00:02:52.286 --> 00:02:56.284
And when you get to the point where all you wanna do is be is successful

00:02:56.391 --> 00:02:58.874
as bad as you wanna breathe then you will be successful.

00:02:59.860 --> 00:03:04.026
but what is most important is don't be afraid to fail

00:03:04.026 --> 00:03:08.167
you can't always win but don't be afraid of making decisions

00:03:09.546 --> 00:03:12.037
You might never fail on the scale I did,

00:03:12.037 --> 00:03:15.939
but some failure in life is inevitable.

00:03:15.939 --> 00:03:20.135
It is impossible to live without failing at something,

00:03:20.135 --> 00:03:24.915
unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all

00:03:24.915 --> 00:03:27.467
in which case you have failed by default.

00:03:27.672 --> 00:03:31.226
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like:

00:03:31.226 --> 00:03:37.207
'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.'

00:03:37.207 --> 00:03:39.123
It made an impression on me,

00:03:39.123 --> 00:03:42.177
and since then, for the past 33 years,

00:03:42.177 --> 00:03:44.669
I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself:

00:03:44.669 --> 00:03:50.166
"If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"

00:03:50.166 --> 00:03:52.089
Because Almost everything

00:03:52.089 --> 00:03:57.079
all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure

00:03:57.079 --> 00:04:02.755
these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

00:04:02.755 --> 00:04:05.630
Remembering that you are Going To Die

00:04:05.630 --> 00:04:08.746
is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking

00:04:08.746 --> 00:04:10.829
you have something to lose.

00:04:10.829 --> 00:04:14.522
distinctly different about me is

00:04:14.522 --> 00:04:17.916
I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill.

00:04:17.916 --> 00:04:20.138
You might have more talent than me,

00:04:20.138 --> 00:04:22.472
you might be smarter than me,

00:04:22.472 --> 00:04:24.331
But if we get on the treadmill

00:04:24.331 --> 00:04:25.573
there's two things:

00:04:25.573 --> 00:04:26.839
You're getting off first,

00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:28.940
or I'm Going To Die!

00:04:28.940 --> 00:04:31.608
It's really that simple.

00:04:31.608 --> 00:04:33.955
i'm gonna give him two minutes and i'll finish him.

00:04:39.677 --> 00:04:45.337
then i promise he won't make it 2 to 3 minutes

00:04:45.337 --> 00:04:48.065
in the kickboxing ring with me this time.

00:04:49.803 --> 00:04:53.827
Its like you have to save your own life

00:04:56.381 --> 00:05:00.204
nobody's going to be able to save it for you.

00:05:00.204 --> 00:05:03.666
So we have to do what we have to do,

00:05:03.666 --> 00:05:05.749
no matter what it is!

00:05:08.119 --> 00:05:10.369
this is what i believe

00:05:10.369 --> 00:05:13.280
and i willing to die for it

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:14.954
Period!

00:05:14.954 --> 00:05:21.059
No matter how bad it is...or how bad it gets

00:05:21.059 --> 00:05:25.143
I'm going to make it!

00:05:25.143 --> 00:05:26.912
say that to yourself everyday.

00:05:26.994 --> 00:05:29.954
our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate

00:05:29.954 --> 00:05:32.844
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

00:05:32.844 --> 00:05:36.063
i'm motivated by fear.

00:05:38.057 --> 00:05:43.084
What we are trying to do, during all these discussions and talks here,

00:05:43.084 --> 00:05:50.390
is to see if we cannot radically bring about a transformation of the mind.

00:05:50.390 --> 00:05:52.811
not accept things as they are.

00:05:52.811 --> 00:05:55.993
But to understand it, go into it, examine it,

00:05:55.993 --> 00:06:00.390
give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have, to find out

00:06:00.390 --> 00:06:03.381
a way of living differently.

00:06:03.381 --> 00:06:07.601
That depends on you, and not on someone else,

00:06:08.340 --> 00:06:12.183
because in this there is no teacher, no pupil

00:06:12.183 --> 00:06:17.732
there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour.

00:06:17.732 --> 00:06:23.815
You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader,

00:06:23.815 --> 00:06:25.783
you are everything!

00:06:27.858 --> 00:06:32.248
And to understand is to transform what is.

00:06:34.863 --> 00:06:37.010
You know, when you get old, in life

00:06:37.010 --> 00:06:39.071
things get taken from you.

00:06:39.071 --> 00:06:42.208
I mean, that's... that's... that's a part of life.

00:06:42.208 --> 00:06:46.574
But, you only learn that when you start losin' stuff.

00:06:47.606 --> 00:06:50.267
You find out life's this game of inches.

00:06:52.273 --> 00:06:55.539
On this team we fight for that inch.

00:06:56.463 --> 00:07:00.493
On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us

00:07:00.493 --> 00:07:02.703
to pieces for that inch.

00:07:03.688 --> 00:07:07.379
We claw with our fingernails for that inch.

00:07:08.195 --> 00:07:12.411
Because we know when add up all those inches,

00:07:12.411 --> 00:07:16.518
that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing!

00:07:18.732 --> 00:07:21.746
Between living and dying!

00:07:23.146 --> 00:07:26.082
I'll tell you this, in any fight

00:07:26.082 --> 00:07:30.321
it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch.

00:07:30.921 --> 00:07:34.210
Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth.

00:07:34.210 --> 00:07:36.088
But ya gotta be willing to take the hits,

00:07:36.088 --> 00:07:38.737
and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be

00:07:38.737 --> 00:07:41.399
because of him, or her, or anybody!

00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.813
Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!

00:07:46.634 --> 00:07:49.882
And I know, if I'm gonna have any life anymore

00:07:49.882 --> 00:07:54.370
it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch

00:07:55.888 --> 00:07:58.242
because that's what living is!

00:07:59.336 --> 00:08:01.413
the six inches in front of your face.

00:08:08.111 --> 00:08:12.865
We get one opportunity in life. One chance in life

00:08:12.865 --> 00:08:15.362
to do whatever you’re gonna do.

00:08:15.362 --> 00:08:18.764
To lay your foundation. To make whatever mark you’re gonna make.

00:08:19.349 --> 00:08:22.545
whatever legacy you’re gonna leave. Leave your legacy.

00:08:23.361 --> 00:08:25.553
And it’s found through effort.

00:08:26.692 --> 00:08:28.643
Wins and losses come a dime a dozen.

00:08:29.367 --> 00:08:32.795
But effort? Nobody can judge effort.

00:08:32.795 --> 00:08:38.798
Because Effort is between you and you. Effort aint got nothing to do with nobody else.

00:08:40.297 --> 00:08:42.908
So that team that think they ready to seen you?

00:08:42.908 --> 00:08:45.506
They think what they seen on film.

00:08:45.506 --> 00:08:47.839
They ain’t saw what film shows.

00:08:48.401 --> 00:08:50.707
Because every day is a new day.

00:08:50.707 --> 00:08:53.560
Every moment is a new moment.

00:08:53.560 --> 00:08:56.565
So now you got to go out and show them that you a different creature

00:08:56.565 --> 00:08:57.718
Now!

00:08:58.537 --> 00:09:01.788
now than I was five minutes ago.

00:09:01.788 --> 00:09:03.844
Cause I’m pissed off for greatness.

00:09:07.251 --> 00:09:10.962
Thanks For Watching
