5 Min Pocket Pep Talk: You Can’t Complain About the Work and Pray for the Win · The Nadia Chapman Show

  Welcome to another five-minute pocket pep talk with Nadia. Let's have a real conversation today.
• 0:07
  Everyone says they want the dream, they want the medal, they want the business,
• 0:13
  they want the perfect body, the transformation, the life that feels exciting and meaningful.
• 0:18
  We all want that win, that success.
• 0:22
  But here's the truth that most people don't like to hear, and I'm going to tell you.
• 0:27
  You can't complain about the work and pray for the win at the same time.
• 0:33
  Basically, you can't ask the universe for the next level and then get upset
• 0:37
  and get mad and get frustrated when it gives you the challenges that build you for that level.
• 0:44
  What I mean by that is that you can't say that you want greatness,
• 0:49
  but then resist the process that creates greatness.
• 0:53
  And this is where most people get stuck between desire and discipline.
• 0:58
  They want the outcome so bad, but they don't want that stretch.
• 1:02
  They want the confidence, but they don't want the repetition.
• 1:06
  They want the big glow up, but they can't stand the grind.
• 1:10
  So today I'm here to remind you of this truth, that every single dream comes
• 1:16
  with what I call an invoice.
• 1:18
  And the payment is effort, consistency, and patience.
• 1:22
  You're not being tested to fail. You're being trained to carry the thing you said that you wanted.
• 1:28
  So when you pray for strength, life doesn't just hand you strength.
• 1:32
  It gives you situations that require you to be strong.
• 1:35
  And when you ask for, let's say, confidence, you get opportunities to choose
• 1:40
  courage instead of comfort.
• 1:42
  And when you ask for success and big, amazing things to happen,
• 1:46
  you get a season of discipline to prove if you're serious.
• 1:49
  So if you are in a hard season right now, if things feel kind of heavy or slower
• 1:55
  than you like, well, maybe it's not a punishment. Maybe it's that preparation.
• 2:00
  Maybe you're right where you need to be learning the muscle that will sustain
• 2:04
  your next win. Let's be real.
• 2:07
  The work isn't always glamorous. It's not always inspiring.
• 2:11
  And some days it's going to be painful. Some days it's going to be boring.
• 2:15
  And some days, a lot of the days, it's going to be uncomfortable.
• 2:19
  And some days you'll question.
• 2:21
  You'll wonder if it's even working out. But those are the days that matters the most.
• 2:27
  Trust me, because that's when your character gets built. Your motivation is like a little spark.
• 2:33
  Discipline is the fire. And if you keep showing up again and again for yourself,
• 2:38
  that fire starts to spread through your habits, through your confidence,
• 2:43
  and through your results.
• 2:45
  So in life, you've got to stop waiting for things to feel easy.
• 2:49
  It's not supposed to feel easy.
• 2:51
  The people that you admire the most didn't get there by staying comfortable
• 2:55
  all the time. They pushed their limit. They fell.
• 2:58
  They got rejected. They adjusted. But they kept going. and they learn how to
• 3:03
  do the work without drama.
• 3:04
  And that's the mindset shift I want you to take from today.
• 3:08
  Stop asking for it to get easier. Start asking to get stronger.
• 3:13
  You're able of more than you think. And I'm sure that you've already proven
• 3:17
  that in so many areas of your life.
• 3:20
  You've done hard things before and you can do them again.
• 3:23
  And the key is to stop resenting the effort and see the effort as the doorway
• 3:27
  to what you really want. It gets exciting. You can't expect championship result with casual habit.
• 3:33
  Like my favorite quote, you know, you can't expect different results if you
• 3:38
  keep doing the same shit.
• 3:40
  You can't say you want peace, but feed chaos. And you can't pray for abundance, but act in scarcity.
• 3:47
  You have to start living like the person who already deserves what you're asking for.
• 3:53
  And in life, everything you want has a process attached to it.
• 3:56
  So stop complaining about the climb.
• 3:59
  Start appreciating that you're even on a mountain because the work is the win in progress.
• 4:04
  And when you finally reach that moment, when you feel the payoff,
• 4:08
  when you realize you became someone stronger, steadier, and more powerful along
• 4:14
  the way, that's when it all makes sense.
• 4:16
  So keep showing up, keep moving forward, even on the days it feels pointless,
• 4:21
  actually, especially on the days it feels pointless.
• 4:25
  That's when you're closest to that shift, that shift that you need,
• 4:30
  the shift that will take you there.
• 4:32
  You can't complain about the work and pray for the win You honor the work And
• 4:37
  that's how the win finds you Now go earn it.
