1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,840
you have to be the hero of your own
story and you can do that 90% of is just

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,130
showing up get there and start working
like you're not gonna feel perfect every

3
00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:16,340
day

4
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,920
there's got to be those days you push
through and there they're probably gonna

5
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:33,430
be more numerous than the days you don't
and so the benefit of discipline in my

6
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:40,269
eyes has always been that through
discipline I get things done write down

7
00:00:40,269 --> 00:00:47,410
everything you want to do this is what I
want you to do write down what you would

8
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:50,920
like to fix about your life and then
just if you're 30 pounds overweight you

9
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,600
want to lose 30 pounds do it the right
way

10
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,660
go start eating vegetables monitor your
calories write down what you eat

11
00:00:55,660 --> 00:01:03,100
exercise every day force yourself to do
it the brain is the general the troops

12
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:08,740
of the body and you get up and you do it
and then you get to write it down our

13
00:01:08,740 --> 00:01:14,920
bodies for whatever reason most people
their associations are to avoid anything

14
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,519
that's uncomfortable

15
00:01:23,380 --> 00:01:29,229
it's so illogical because when you look
at comfort and you look at success and

16
00:01:29,229 --> 00:01:35,260
progress and in eventual the feelings of
accomplishment and of getting past

17
00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:40,150
certain hurdles and in terms of like how
you feel about life a lot of those are

18
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:46,210
connected to discomfort like discomfort
is your friend it really it a discomfort

19
00:01:46,210 --> 00:01:52,420
and and not being happy and content with
certain situations in life or certain

20
00:01:52,420 --> 00:02:04,410
feelings in life one of the big problems
is sitting down and doing the work and

21
00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:09,310
he labels it like an enemy he calls it
resistance you know and that you have to

22
00:02:09,310 --> 00:02:17,530
sit down you have to overcome resistance
and that the pro goes to work and it

23
00:02:17,530 --> 00:02:20,410
doesn't matter if you're sick doesn't
matter if you have kids it doesn't

24
00:02:20,410 --> 00:02:25,180
matter what you you're a pro and you go
to work and that and that just it puts

25
00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:31,750
it in your head that this is what I do
you have pride in that and then when you

26
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:36,130
are in front of that keyboard and you're
you got you look down the count it's set

27
00:02:36,130 --> 00:02:40,090
for the files more than you yeah you
you're doing the work and out of that

28
00:02:40,090 --> 00:02:46,840
work gems blossom and it's about
resistance that people feel when you

29
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,230
know you should write or you know you
should paint or whatever you should

30
00:02:50,230 --> 00:02:54,310
sculpt whatever these things are you
pursue and that there's this thing that

31
00:02:54,310 --> 00:02:57,700
comes up that tries to keep you from
doing this

32
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:02,750
this resistance

33
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:06,180
you're not a hero in your own eyes
you're not you're not someone who you

34
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:16,110
respect you know you're doing what you
got to do to get by but ultimately

35
00:03:16,110 --> 00:03:19,890
you're not respecting yourself and I
think we all have a certain amount of

36
00:03:19,890 --> 00:03:23,280
appreciation and respect for hero
figures you know like we all look at

37
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,459
like the guy who never lies and it
always does the right thing and fucking

38
00:03:26,459 --> 00:03:30,090
helps everybody out and that's the John
Wayne character you know that's that's

39
00:03:30,090 --> 00:03:37,350
the ultimate hero and he's like this is
a battle that you will fight for the

40
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:41,160
rest of your life but the key is to
fight it not to give in don't give in to

41
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,270
that resistance to fuck just to fight
that resistance and in doing so every

42
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:48,570
day you do so you have won the battle
for that day and you will continue to

43
00:03:48,570 --> 00:03:56,790
fight that battle and when you look at
your own life and you don't stack up

44
00:03:56,790 --> 00:04:01,920
you're a thief you stole money from your
wife's purse and you know you don't want

45
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,190
to smoke cigarettes but you fucking have
to you can't deal with the stress and

46
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:09,930
smoke you devalue yourself you slowly
start devaluing yourself you look at

47
00:04:09,930 --> 00:04:12,810
yourself you realize that if you were
judging yourself you would judge

48
00:04:12,810 --> 00:04:15,900
yourself unfavorably
so no matter who you you can't pretend

49
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:21,350
you're the hero of your story

50
00:04:22,789 --> 00:04:27,509
you can be the hero of your own story
that woke up today you could be the hero

51
00:04:27,509 --> 00:04:33,270
of your own story that at forty years of
age stopped got out of bed and said I'm

52
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:36,590
not doing this anymore

53
00:04:37,099 --> 00:04:43,229
only by my instincts and only by my
morals and my ideals and my mind and I'm

54
00:04:43,229 --> 00:04:45,930
gonna be dead honest with myself because
I'm realizing this is not gonna last

55
00:04:45,930 --> 00:04:52,590
forever and I'm gonna get myself in
shape but I'm gonna eat healthy and I'm

56
00:04:52,590 --> 00:04:56,629
gonna do this because this is this is me
now

57
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:08,460
I decide that this is me

58
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:17,350
and people have to realize that you are
not your past you are not all the times

59
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:25,690
you fucked up they're not all the times
you were drunk that's not you what you

60
00:05:25,690 --> 00:05:32,710
you are the person who's learned from a
great deal of experience when you're

61
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:37,840
alone with your thoughts you get an idea
of what your thoughts actually are you

62
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,960
live your life just acting constantly on
the momentum of other people's

63
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,380
expectations of you wanting to be liked
by these other people you can run into a

64
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:51,100
trap
and you you you set up a life that you

65
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:57,910
didn't really want your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it's

66
00:05:57,910 --> 00:06:01,050
certainly some sort of a journey

67
00:06:03,130 --> 00:06:06,490
you're trapped in this situation where
you have a mortgage

68
00:06:06,490 --> 00:06:09,790
you've got credit-card bills you've got
student loans you have to pay you have a

69
00:06:09,790 --> 00:06:14,110
bunch of shit going on you have to
continue to feed and all that and

70
00:06:14,110 --> 00:06:17,290
especially if you have a family and you
have to feed them oh my goodness

71
00:06:17,290 --> 00:06:21,480
then you're fully locked in you can't
take any chances whatsoever and

72
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:27,640
oftentimes people make the mistake of
getting stuck and it is just a tactical

73
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,510
mistake just like it would be a mistake
if you got stuck on a video game just

74
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:35,590
like it would be a mistake if you
followed a map incorrectly and you get

75
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:44,830
stuck in the woods your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it's

76
00:06:44,830 --> 00:06:48,610
certainly some sort of a journey and we
have to all be aware that when we're

77
00:06:48,610 --> 00:06:51,670
making journeys we're not going to
always make the right steps and

78
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:54,730
sometimes you have to back up and try
again and if you're in a position where

79
00:06:54,730 --> 00:07:01,570
you can't back up and try again you've
trapped yourself as people define

80
00:07:01,570 --> 00:07:05,680
themselves by the past instead of
thinking about who they are now and said

81
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,580
if they still look back at a mistake
they made and don't just get past that

82
00:07:09,580 --> 00:07:15,180
mistake grow and learn but dwell on
think it defines them

83
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,750
I mean there's definitely pitfalls in
life you're gonna run into him we all

84
00:07:19,750 --> 00:07:21,520
are
no you didn't learn and grow if you

85
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,010
survive somewhere along the line they
didn't face enough of the adversity to

86
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:30,550
realize that there's sometimes you just
got to get up and get shit done there's

87
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:34,330
sometimes we have to fucking pull
yourself up and you have to push forward

88
00:07:34,330 --> 00:07:41,140
even if you want to stay in bed having
that safety net just provided him with a

89
00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:45,850
way to stay in bed kept him weak have an
opportunity every time things go wrong

90
00:07:45,850 --> 00:07:50,020
every time things feel terrible you have
an opportunity to learn from whatever

91
00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:52,900
makes you feel terrible and never allow
it to happen again

92
00:07:52,900 --> 00:08:00,520
push forward the system will set out
honey pots for people to get trapped in

93
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,290
the system will set out the ideas of
retirement the ideas of the Golden Ears

94
00:08:05,290 --> 00:08:09,280
providing you benefits providing you a
healthy work environment why well

95
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,700
because they want people to work for
them they don't want people to realize

96
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:17,890
their own dreams and escape they want to
set it up so that you stick around stick

97
00:08:17,890 --> 00:08:21,700
around some sort of an unsatisfying
world it's up to you to see that video

98
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:25,870
game problem to see that issue as it
comes up on the map and known I think

99
00:08:25,870 --> 00:08:30,580
this is a right turn to see all the
problems that could potentially lay in

100
00:08:30,580 --> 00:08:34,690
front of you and calculate your your
future and then also look around all the

101
00:08:34,690 --> 00:08:37,750
people that didn't do it and look at the
misery that they're in and learn you

102
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:40,650
don't want to be like them

103
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:50,370
and most people get stuck in these
patterns or they define themselves on

104
00:08:50,370 --> 00:08:53,820
the person who doesn't follow through on
their ideas or a person who doesn't

105
00:08:53,820 --> 00:08:58,440
pursue the real interests and loves you
define yourself by that well you know I

106
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,640
guess when I start things and I quit no
you don't know you have started things

107
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:09,000
and you quit and it gives you a horrible
sense of regret that's made you define

108
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,980
yourself by that you don't have to do
that I look back on anything I've ever

109
00:09:13,980 --> 00:09:18,540
done mistakes ever made
a pass that I you know what something I

110
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:22,140
put out that I didn't quite yeah maybe I
waited three months before I released

111
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:25,950
that or maybe I should have you know
rieta to that blog post a couple more

112
00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:29,970
times before I put it online or things
that I've done have driven me crazy but

113
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:33,690
yelling at someone I didn't have to yell
at them for whatever but the most

114
00:09:33,690 --> 00:09:37,050
important thing is always for all people
to recognize that you're not who you

115
00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:40,620
were a year ago you're not who you were
five years ago you're not who you were

116
00:09:40,620 --> 00:09:49,290
last week so you gotta regulate how much
you dwell on regrets of the past you

117
00:09:49,290 --> 00:09:52,490
really got to be careful

118
00:09:57,220 --> 00:10:01,670
it's also directly proportionate to the
amount of hardships that people face in

119
00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:05,029
life their ability to face hardships you
know and there's a lot of folks that

120
00:10:05,029 --> 00:10:08,329
live life on a cushy cloud of
marshmallows and bullshit and then one

121
00:10:08,329 --> 00:10:11,540
day something goes wrong and then look
at the people that are have kind of

122
00:10:11,540 --> 00:10:17,019
taken chances and navigated their way
what did they do differently

123
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:53,750
what insight into their own mistakes are
they willing to delve into that you're

124
00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:57,680
not that you step back and go you know I
don't I just don't want to look at

125
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:01,820
myself that closely but the person who's
able to look at themselves the closest

126
00:11:01,820 --> 00:11:05,860
it's gonna get the more rational results
