  waking up once again i'm inspired because today as i'm recording this.
• 2:14
  It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful morning podcast. Let's go.
• 2:19
  As I'm recording this, I've noticed that for back-to-back Fridays in the morning,
• 2:27
  I do my thing and I want people and I want this episode to be,
• 2:31
  I want you to listen to this because it's a little bit of one of those inspirational
• 2:34
  reminder kind of life stories.
• 2:37
  Have you woken up? Am I saying it right? Woken?
• 2:42
  I'm woke. Let's go. where you wake up and you say to yourself,
• 2:46
  I'm doing everything and everything. I started this discipline,
• 2:49
  but yet something happened.
• 2:51
  There's a word out there that they use, and I believe in the military,
• 2:55
  SNAPFU, which is S-N-A-F-U, SNAPFU,
• 3:01
  which stands for situation normal or the F you already know, F of.
• 3:08
  Meaning that when something seems normal, something
• 3:12
  kind of rattles that then it just goes mayhem and
• 3:15
  that's what i've been feeling on back to back mornings
• 3:20
  and i'll be more exactly as i'm recording this it's a beautiful friday morning
• 3:25
  me me me me hey listen something happened but it's my throat let's go but anyways
• 3:32
  back to back fridays where i wake up this discipline i'm a disciplined type
• 3:36
  of person i wake up very early,
• 3:38
  And sometimes 3.30, 3.40 o'clock in the morning.
• 3:42
  So I wake up, do my thing, get ready, you know, take the drink,
• 3:48
  go to downtown, hit the gym.
• 3:50
  Nice workout for at least one hour or so or 45 minutes, depending on how I'm feeling.
• 3:56
  Do my thing, do the shower, you know, freshen up, go to work.
• 3:59
  You know, I repeat that. And it's a good discipline because I am doing something.
• 4:04
  But you see, I leave my house at 4.25. People are like, damn,
• 4:06
  they're even like 4.25. Jesus, 425 in the morning?
• 4:11
  I did tell you that. I was born in Puerto Rico. If you ever been in El Campo,
• 4:15
  those, you know, countryside kind of thing, mountains in Puerto Rico,
• 4:19
  you're going to hear roosters at 4 o'clock, like, coo-coo-coo-coo-coo.
• 4:25
  You know what I'm saying? So relax.
• 4:27
  I got that El Gallo thing in me. No, I'm not Jake Paul. Relax.
• 4:31
  Well, you get the gist. I wake up in that routine, and I want people to understand it.
• 4:35
  It's this, and listen to what I'm saying, because I am telling you a story or
• 4:39
  my story or my experience, But I want you to take this because I want you to imagine this.
• 4:44
  You wake up, you got a routine. And not just a routine, a discipline.
• 4:48
  There's people that got this dip. I want to wake up. I'm going to say my prayers,
• 4:51
  eat my vitamins, something to that effect, right?
• 4:54
  For those who enjoy resting, you know what I'm talking about.
• 4:57
  But you want to do something. You know what I mean? You got this discipline.
• 4:59
  You do this every day. And you feel good about it.
• 5:02
  But sometimes there are things that are outside of the scope.
• 5:07
  Or let's say things that are not in our control. And what have happened to me
• 5:12
  in these last two Fridays, I wake up at, I leave my house at 425.
• 5:16
  I take the train on time. Then I don't know whether there's a delay and I'm
• 5:21
  already awake at 330 in the morning.
• 5:25
  Taking the train 425, I'm leaving my house.
• 5:29
  Yet I'm in New York City to give you an idea. By the time I head to the gym,
• 5:34
  It's already an hour, two hours that pass because of delays in the train and
• 5:39
  something happened that is beyond your control.
• 5:44
  And it hit me that in this morning, once again, on the same Friday,
• 5:48
  again, there's nothing happening.
• 5:50
  Warnings there's nothing that's you know normally in the train system here the
• 5:53
  mta there are times that say hey listen there's going to be delays uh because we fixing this,
• 5:59
  nothing just something that just happens that has no control and you start to
• 6:03
  think wow back to back fridays the same thing and it's like god and you start
• 6:09
  to think they might i did everything right and raise your hand raise your hand
• 6:13
  how many times have we done everything right everything that we have done,
• 6:18
  but if there's something that
• 6:20
  happens out of our control and we say to ourself, we start to get rattled.
• 6:24
  And it starts to kind of push us from what that thing or that discipline,
• 6:29
  it starts to kind of push us to the edge.
• 6:33
  And that's the way I was feeling, questioning myself, okay, what to do?
• 6:36
  Okay, my energy is depleting because I'm up early. I don't drink coffee in the
• 6:40
  morning, but I do take supplements in the morning before I work out.
• 6:44
  So it gives me that little buzz that's why i'm a little bit hyped right about
• 6:46
  now like you know what i mean.
• 6:51
  But it's one of those things that I'm in the training. I'm going back and forth.
• 6:57
  Delays here, they say, and I see some people frustrated. Hey,
• 7:00
  listen, it's New York City.
• 7:02
  Again, when it comes to delays in the training, it happens. Not constantly,
• 7:06
  but I always said that it's sometimes a little bit too much.
• 7:11
  There's people, there was a young gentleman, and I guess he was kind of complaining
• 7:15
  to some of the MTA workers who came.
• 7:18
  They were fixing their track, and he's like, hey, listen, you guys work? and I appreciate it.
• 7:22
  But you guys in the train making some delays here, I don't know what the hell
• 7:25
  is going on. But the fact is this, I got to get to work. You're at work.
• 7:31
  But the train is impeding me to get to work and I'm going to get a write-up
• 7:34
  or something to that effect.
• 7:36
  But you see, even that gentleman, he did his thing and he's one of the records.
• 7:41
  I've seen him a couple of times.
• 7:42
  He was a little bit frustrated because sometimes in life, and this is a lesson
• 7:47
  in life, It's that there are times that there are things that are beyond me.
• 7:52
  We have no control whatsoever.
• 7:54
  But don't let that dictate or even change the way you do things.
• 8:00
  I'm going to still wake up in the morning. I mean, whatever it is when I wake
• 8:04
  up, I'm still going to leave my house.
• 8:06
  Sometimes I like to check that MTA app, where the train is at,
• 8:09
  you know, so I can have an idea. Am I leaving at 425?
• 8:12
  Am I leaving at 430? You know, when am I leaving? You know what I mean? set myself up.
• 8:18
  See, that's BS. I got that little routine, that discipline.
• 8:22
  So don't let anything, anything stop you from what you're doing.
• 8:28
  Because for that one day, and again, it's going to be back-to-back Fridays.
• 8:32
  It just seems to be out for me.
• 8:34
  Friday is my last day of my work week. That means I'm going to enjoy the weekend.
• 8:39
  And sometimes Fridays is that feel-good day.
• 8:43
  You know, you get the, your bank account looks a little bit more bulky.
• 8:46
  You know, payday and so on and so forth.
• 8:50
  But you still wake up, hey, listen, I got bills to pay. You understand?
• 8:53
  You still got to do those things. You still got to follow that routine.
• 8:58
  And what happened is that for me, and one of the lessons is that it was throwing
• 9:03
  me off. And I was in the train. And I was feeding.
• 9:05
  I saw all the passengers frustrated, griping. And I'm like, I'm feeding their energy.
• 9:11
  There's a train station. I sound our name a little bit notorious.
• 9:15
  You got preachers in the morning talking about jesus you got others talking about allah,
• 9:22
  you got people asking for money asking for help and it's only 5 45 in the morning,
• 9:32
  and if you're in new york city you already know maybe well there's some couple
• 9:36
  of stations that might sound like what i'm saying but this one right here this
• 9:39
  one right here it's up there amongst everything that you can find in New York City is there.
• 9:45
  And there's a dude over there selling his freight Rolex. Not that they're used
• 9:49
  to, but it's 5.45 in the morning and the thing is like, wow, it's lit, like, wow.
• 9:56
  The lesson is, once again, sometimes we're not going to end.
• 9:58
  When we happen, what does that mean, David? Okay.
• 10:01
  So if there are things that's outside of our hands, what shall we do?
• 10:07
  And that's when I say, do not do nothing. Don't change it because of what's happening.
• 10:14
  Continue to do what you do.
• 10:16
  Continue to wake up, do that same routine, because it's not a routine. It's a discipline.
• 10:21
  Don't question yourself as in, well, maybe I'm not fully motivated.
• 10:24
  Maybe I got to find an alternative.
• 10:27
  No, you build something and you continue to build on that.
• 10:32
  Don't stop what you're doing.
• 10:35
  Again, in life, I always say 99% of life is going to be bad.
• 10:39
  People are going to get sick. People are going to pass away.
• 10:42
  The economy is going to be high.
• 10:45
  Food prices are going to be, you know, skyrocketing. Everything,
• 10:48
  everything and everything is going to happen.
• 10:50
  What should not have happened is that you should not stop what you're doing
• 10:54
  if you are already in the position where you build something,
• 10:58
  where you do something, you got to make it happen.
• 11:02
  And yes, it is frustrating. And listen, I was in that train station.
• 11:06
  I was a little bit frustrated, but it didn't dawn on me.
• 11:08
  Now, when I got off, it's when I said to myself, you know what?
• 11:13
  From here to the gym, I can just find a little nice spot in the gym or whatever
• 11:18
  it is in silence. And you know what?
• 11:21
  A little content. And that's where I'm at.
• 11:23
  That's what I'm at doing now at this moment. I'm seizing the moment and the
• 11:28
  opportunity that it gave me, despite the fact that the opportunity seems to
• 11:33
  be like not where I wanted to be at or nor I wanted to be in this place.
• 11:38
  But it's out of my hands. It's out of my control. But guess what?
• 11:41
  I'm seizing the moment Because I'm doing this podcast I'm doing this content
• 11:46
  And I'm educating my beautiful people My beautiful legendary people,
