0:00:00.000,0:00:09.840
you have to be the hero of your own[br]story and you can do that 90% of is just

0:00:09.840,0:00:14.130
showing up get there and start working[br]like you're not gonna feel perfect every

0:00:14.130,0:00:16.340
day

0:00:22.720,0:00:26.920
there's got to be those days you push[br]through and there they're probably gonna

0:00:26.920,0:00:33.430
be more numerous than the days you don't[br]and so the benefit of discipline in my

0:00:33.430,0:00:40.269
eyes has always been that through[br]discipline I get things done write down

0:00:40.269,0:00:47.410
everything you want to do this is what I[br]want you to do write down what you would

0:00:47.410,0:00:50.920
like to fix about your life and then[br]just if you're 30 pounds overweight you

0:00:50.920,0:00:52.600
want to lose 30 pounds do it the right[br]way

0:00:52.600,0:00:55.660
go start eating vegetables monitor your[br]calories write down what you eat

0:00:55.660,0:01:03.100
exercise every day force yourself to do[br]it the brain is the general the troops

0:01:03.100,0:01:08.740
of the body and you get up and you do it[br]and then you get to write it down our

0:01:08.740,0:01:14.920
bodies for whatever reason most people[br]their associations are to avoid anything

0:01:14.920,0:01:19.519
that's uncomfortable

0:01:23.380,0:01:29.229
it's so illogical because when you look[br]at comfort and you look at success and

0:01:29.229,0:01:35.260
progress and in eventual the feelings of[br]accomplishment and of getting past

0:01:35.260,0:01:40.150
certain hurdles and in terms of like how[br]you feel about life a lot of those are

0:01:40.150,0:01:46.210
connected to discomfort like discomfort[br]is your friend it really it a discomfort

0:01:46.210,0:01:52.420
and and not being happy and content with[br]certain situations in life or certain

0:01:52.420,0:02:04.410
feelings in life one of the big problems[br]is sitting down and doing the work and

0:02:04.410,0:02:09.310
he labels it like an enemy he calls it[br]resistance you know and that you have to

0:02:09.310,0:02:17.530
sit down you have to overcome resistance[br]and that the pro goes to work and it

0:02:17.530,0:02:20.410
doesn't matter if you're sick doesn't[br]matter if you have kids it doesn't

0:02:20.410,0:02:25.180
matter what you you're a pro and you go[br]to work and that and that just it puts

0:02:25.180,0:02:31.750
it in your head that this is what I do[br]you have pride in that and then when you

0:02:31.750,0:02:36.130
are in front of that keyboard and you're[br]you got you look down the count it's set

0:02:36.130,0:02:40.090
for the files more than you yeah you[br]you're doing the work and out of that

0:02:40.090,0:02:46.840
work gems blossom and it's about[br]resistance that people feel when you

0:02:46.840,0:02:50.230
know you should write or you know you[br]should paint or whatever you should

0:02:50.230,0:02:54.310
sculpt whatever these things are you[br]pursue and that there's this thing that

0:02:54.310,0:02:57.700
comes up that tries to keep you from[br]doing this

0:02:57.700,0:03:02.750
this resistance

0:03:02.750,0:03:06.180
you're not a hero in your own eyes[br]you're not you're not someone who you

0:03:06.180,0:03:16.110
respect you know you're doing what you[br]got to do to get by but ultimately

0:03:16.110,0:03:19.890
you're not respecting yourself and I[br]think we all have a certain amount of

0:03:19.890,0:03:23.280
appreciation and respect for hero[br]figures you know like we all look at

0:03:23.280,0:03:26.459
like the guy who never lies and it[br]always does the right thing and fucking

0:03:26.459,0:03:30.090
helps everybody out and that's the John[br]Wayne character you know that's that's

0:03:30.090,0:03:37.350
the ultimate hero and he's like this is[br]a battle that you will fight for the

0:03:37.350,0:03:41.160
rest of your life but the key is to[br]fight it not to give in don't give in to

0:03:41.160,0:03:45.270
that resistance to fuck just to fight[br]that resistance and in doing so every

0:03:45.270,0:03:48.570
day you do so you have won the battle[br]for that day and you will continue to

0:03:48.570,0:03:56.790
fight that battle and when you look at[br]your own life and you don't stack up

0:03:56.790,0:04:01.920
you're a thief you stole money from your[br]wife's purse and you know you don't want

0:04:01.920,0:04:05.190
to smoke cigarettes but you fucking have[br]to you can't deal with the stress and

0:04:05.190,0:04:09.930
smoke you devalue yourself you slowly[br]start devaluing yourself you look at

0:04:09.930,0:04:12.810
yourself you realize that if you were[br]judging yourself you would judge

0:04:12.810,0:04:15.900
yourself unfavorably[br]so no matter who you you can't pretend

0:04:15.900,0:04:21.350
you're the hero of your story

0:04:22.789,0:04:27.509
you can be the hero of your own story[br]that woke up today you could be the hero

0:04:27.509,0:04:33.270
of your own story that at forty years of[br]age stopped got out of bed and said I'm

0:04:33.270,0:04:36.590
not doing this anymore

0:04:37.099,0:04:43.229
only by my instincts and only by my[br]morals and my ideals and my mind and I'm

0:04:43.229,0:04:45.930
gonna be dead honest with myself because[br]I'm realizing this is not gonna last

0:04:45.930,0:04:52.590
forever and I'm gonna get myself in[br]shape but I'm gonna eat healthy and I'm

0:04:52.590,0:04:56.629
gonna do this because this is this is me[br]now

0:05:03.430,0:05:08.460
I decide that this is me

0:05:08.680,0:05:17.350
and people have to realize that you are[br]not your past you are not all the times

0:05:17.350,0:05:25.690
you fucked up they're not all the times[br]you were drunk that's not you what you

0:05:25.690,0:05:32.710
you are the person who's learned from a[br]great deal of experience when you're

0:05:32.710,0:05:37.840
alone with your thoughts you get an idea[br]of what your thoughts actually are you

0:05:37.840,0:05:40.960
live your life just acting constantly on[br]the momentum of other people's

0:05:40.960,0:05:47.380
expectations of you wanting to be liked[br]by these other people you can run into a

0:05:47.380,0:05:51.100
trap[br]and you you you set up a life that you

0:05:51.100,0:05:57.910
didn't really want your life is[br]certainly some sort of a journey it's

0:05:57.910,0:06:01.050
certainly some sort of a journey

0:06:03.130,0:06:06.490
you're trapped in this situation where[br]you have a mortgage

0:06:06.490,0:06:09.790
you've got credit-card bills you've got[br]student loans you have to pay you have a

0:06:09.790,0:06:14.110
bunch of shit going on you have to[br]continue to feed and all that and

0:06:14.110,0:06:17.290
especially if you have a family and you[br]have to feed them oh my goodness

0:06:17.290,0:06:21.480
then you're fully locked in you can't[br]take any chances whatsoever and

0:06:21.480,0:06:27.640
oftentimes people make the mistake of[br]getting stuck and it is just a tactical

0:06:27.640,0:06:31.510
mistake just like it would be a mistake[br]if you got stuck on a video game just

0:06:31.510,0:06:35.590
like it would be a mistake if you[br]followed a map incorrectly and you get

0:06:35.590,0:06:44.830
stuck in the woods your life is[br]certainly some sort of a journey it's

0:06:44.830,0:06:48.610
certainly some sort of a journey and we[br]have to all be aware that when we're

0:06:48.610,0:06:51.670
making journeys we're not going to[br]always make the right steps and

0:06:51.670,0:06:54.730
sometimes you have to back up and try[br]again and if you're in a position where

0:06:54.730,0:07:01.570
you can't back up and try again you've[br]trapped yourself as people define

0:07:01.570,0:07:05.680
themselves by the past instead of[br]thinking about who they are now and said

0:07:05.680,0:07:09.580
if they still look back at a mistake[br]they made and don't just get past that

0:07:09.580,0:07:15.180
mistake grow and learn but dwell on[br]think it defines them

0:07:15.880,0:07:19.750
I mean there's definitely pitfalls in[br]life you're gonna run into him we all

0:07:19.750,0:07:21.520
are[br]no you didn't learn and grow if you

0:07:21.520,0:07:27.010
survive somewhere along the line they[br]didn't face enough of the adversity to

0:07:27.010,0:07:30.550
realize that there's sometimes you just[br]got to get up and get shit done there's

0:07:30.550,0:07:34.330
sometimes we have to fucking pull[br]yourself up and you have to push forward

0:07:34.330,0:07:41.140
even if you want to stay in bed having[br]that safety net just provided him with a

0:07:41.140,0:07:45.850
way to stay in bed kept him weak have an[br]opportunity every time things go wrong

0:07:45.850,0:07:50.020
every time things feel terrible you have[br]an opportunity to learn from whatever

0:07:50.020,0:07:52.900
makes you feel terrible and never allow[br]it to happen again

0:07:52.900,0:08:00.520
push forward the system will set out[br]honey pots for people to get trapped in

0:08:00.520,0:08:05.290
the system will set out the ideas of[br]retirement the ideas of the Golden Ears

0:08:05.290,0:08:09.280
providing you benefits providing you a[br]healthy work environment why well

0:08:09.280,0:08:12.700
because they want people to work for[br]them they don't want people to realize

0:08:12.700,0:08:17.890
their own dreams and escape they want to[br]set it up so that you stick around stick

0:08:17.890,0:08:21.700
around some sort of an unsatisfying[br]world it's up to you to see that video

0:08:21.700,0:08:25.870
game problem to see that issue as it[br]comes up on the map and known I think

0:08:25.870,0:08:30.580
this is a right turn to see all the[br]problems that could potentially lay in

0:08:30.580,0:08:34.690
front of you and calculate your your[br]future and then also look around all the

0:08:34.690,0:08:37.750
people that didn't do it and look at the[br]misery that they're in and learn you

0:08:37.750,0:08:40.650
don't want to be like them

0:08:46.680,0:08:50.370
and most people get stuck in these[br]patterns or they define themselves on

0:08:50.370,0:08:53.820
the person who doesn't follow through on[br]their ideas or a person who doesn't

0:08:53.820,0:08:58.440
pursue the real interests and loves you[br]define yourself by that well you know I

0:08:58.440,0:09:02.640
guess when I start things and I quit no[br]you don't know you have started things

0:09:02.640,0:09:09.000
and you quit and it gives you a horrible[br]sense of regret that's made you define

0:09:09.000,0:09:13.980
yourself by that you don't have to do[br]that I look back on anything I've ever

0:09:13.980,0:09:18.540
done mistakes ever made[br]a pass that I you know what something I

0:09:18.540,0:09:22.140
put out that I didn't quite yeah maybe I[br]waited three months before I released

0:09:22.140,0:09:25.950
that or maybe I should have you know[br]rieta to that blog post a couple more

0:09:25.950,0:09:29.970
times before I put it online or things[br]that I've done have driven me crazy but

0:09:29.970,0:09:33.690
yelling at someone I didn't have to yell[br]at them for whatever but the most

0:09:33.690,0:09:37.050
important thing is always for all people[br]to recognize that you're not who you

0:09:37.050,0:09:40.620
were a year ago you're not who you were[br]five years ago you're not who you were

0:09:40.620,0:09:49.290
last week so you gotta regulate how much[br]you dwell on regrets of the past you

0:09:49.290,0:09:52.490
really got to be careful

0:09:57.220,0:10:01.670
it's also directly proportionate to the[br]amount of hardships that people face in

0:10:01.670,0:10:05.029
life their ability to face hardships you[br]know and there's a lot of folks that

0:10:05.029,0:10:08.329
live life on a cushy cloud of[br]marshmallows and bullshit and then one

0:10:08.329,0:10:11.540
day something goes wrong and then look[br]at the people that are have kind of

0:10:11.540,0:10:17.019
taken chances and navigated their way[br]what did they do differently

0:10:48.310,0:10:53.750
what insight into their own mistakes are[br]they willing to delve into that you're

0:10:53.750,0:10:57.680
not that you step back and go you know I[br]don't I just don't want to look at

0:10:57.680,0:11:01.820
myself that closely but the person who's[br]able to look at themselves the closest

0:11:01.820,0:11:05.860
it's gonna get the more rational results
