FOCUS: Motivation to get sh*t done · Do You F*cking Mind?

• 0:11
  Speaker 1: So the topics that I am going to be covering
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that these were the main ones that came up. So
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: number one is getting up early consistently. Number two is
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: focusing on a task like things like studying for UNI
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Another one is how to stop eating bad
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: food all the time, how to maintain friendships, exercise even
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: where there's like roadblocks in the way, like if it
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: being really cold or you know whatever, spending too much
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: time on a device, and motivation to stop rewarding yourself
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: prematurely when you're seeing when you're starting to get some
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: results and then you go kind of off the bandwagon
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and you treat yourself and that treat ends up turning
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: into like a three day, four day, one week, two weeks,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and you're just like almost giving up on what it
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was that you were working on in the first place
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: because you saw some progress. So those are the main
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: ones that I am going to be covering, all right.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: So the first thing that I want to touch on
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: before I go into the specifics of any of these
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: topics is.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: You've got to look at this as.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Your beliefs on what you are capable of. So what
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you believe that you are capable of is going to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: determine what kind of action and the quality of that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: action that you're going to take. And in like, you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: can come up with every excuse under the sun as
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to why something's not happening or why you're not doing
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: anything towards whatever, but at the end of the day,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: there's a part of you that believes you are able
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to do it. Because if you genuinely thought there was
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: no way in hell that you could achieve something, you
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be sitting here being like, oh, you know, but
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: how do I You know, I kind of just want
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: help being motivated for it, or I kind of want, like,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for example, I know that there is no chance in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: hell that I can be a basketball player in the NBA,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So I don't waste any time, breath, energy thinking about,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: oh but maybe maybe I could maybe, Like do you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Like, if something is in your
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: head one hundred percent not possible, you don't waste your time,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: energy or breath even making excuses as to why you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: don't do something because you just know it's absolutely not possible,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: so that you don't even talk about it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: The problem is when you make excuses, it's because a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: part of you knows that you're capable of it, So
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: now you need to justify why you're not doing it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So start paying attention to the things that you're making
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: excuses for and realize that the reason you're making those
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: excuses is because there's a big chance that deep down
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you know that you are capable of doing it. You
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: might need to make some changes or some sacrifices, but you,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: as a human being, the way your life is set
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: up right now, is capable of attaining or achieving or
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: doing those things. You might not just like the process
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of getting there, but you know that you're capable of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: doing it. So what are your beliefs around what you're
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: capable of doing? Something that's really interesting as well is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: something that Tony Robbins talks about, and he talks about
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: what is your standard? Like what standard do you hold
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for yourself? And I think that's a really good question
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that he gets people to ask themselves, because if you
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: have a pretty low standard for yourself, no matter how
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: much you gear yourself up the night before to do something,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if you think that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you're only worthy of X, you're not going to get
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: up and do it because you think I might do
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it one morning, but you know it's just not going
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to happen for me, So I just won't bother. Why
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: get up early this morning if I know that I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: can't do it consistently? You know? So it's like, what
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is your standard for yourself and what are your beliefs
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: about what you are capable of?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: A cheat? Okay, get cleaning on those things.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Another thing is, and I spoke about this briefly on
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: my Instagram this week, and it's what do you believe
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: about other people who are doing the things that you
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: want to be doing? Like what is your language around that?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Are you saying to are you saying about someone else?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Or you know, they're just genetically blessed, that's why their
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: body is the way it is. Or they're just lucky
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: because they get to eat whatever they want to eat,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: or they're lucky that they're just naturally you know, skinny,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: or he's a funny one, naturally muscular, whatever that fuck
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that means, you know, or you're just you're naturally smart,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you're born smart. You just you know, you're you're this,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you're that, blah blah blah blah. How many times do
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you not give credit to someone for what they have achieved,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and you palm it off as being due to something else,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: due to luck, due to you know, a circumstance out
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: of their control. How many times do you allocate someone
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: else's success as due to being something else and not
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: due to their hard work. Every time you do that,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you do yourself a disservice and them a disservice. It's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: unfair to you because you're telling yourself, Nah, I'm just
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: not capable of doing that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Why bother? That's a huge like that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: That's fucking fucked because to tell yourself that, why even
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: listen to this podcast? Like that's ridiculous. You're wasting your time,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you know, just go wallow in a hole if that's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: how you feel. So stop saying that the only reason
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that other people are achieving things is because they're lucky,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Because if you genuinely felt that way, if you really
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: thought that, then why are you listening to this podcast
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: trying to see where you can make changes in your life?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: If you thought that the only reason people succeeded is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: because due to luck, take that word out of your
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: vocabulary when it comes to this specific topic that we're
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: talking about and it's also unfair to that person because
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you're saying you actually didn't work hard for anything.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: You haven't earned this. This is all luck.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: That's not cool because at the end of the day,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: most people that are doing something that you want to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: be doing is because they had the ability to do
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: something day and day out, day and day out, whether
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: they wanted to or not, they stuck it out. It's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: all these little things that they do on a daily
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: basis that gets them to that big achievement that from
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the outset people look at it and say, wow, that's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: such a big thing to achieve that in their head
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they must think it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Took one monumental moment.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Of change for them to achieve it, instead of realizing
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that success is actually this daily chipping away at something.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't like to admit that
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: because it's boring, because it doesn't sound fun, it's not
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: exciting that the reason they're so successful is because they
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: did all this tiny, menial, boring, mundane tasks that's not
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: fun to talk about. Well, unfortunately, that's just the truth.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Success comes from doing all these things. Like I hate
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it when people say to me, oh, you know the reason,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Oh you know like if I get a distinction or
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: or you know, if I work my fucking ass off
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and I get a hard distinction at UNI and I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: get told, oh my god, you're just naturally smart, like
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that's amazing, Like you just you know, you're just.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Gifted, gifted.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: What do you know how hard I spent working for
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that mark? Do you know how many hours I spent?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Do you know how many like moments of feeling like,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I need to really fucking change my
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: mindset before I have a mental breakdown because I don't
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: think I'm going to be able to submit this essay,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: like do you know how many how much I have
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to go through to get that result? And then for
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: someone to turn around and say no, no, but like
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you're just you're naturally smart. It's like a fuck you
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: says you didn't earn this. That's what it feels like,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you know, like stop, like just pay attention to your language.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Are you not giving people credit for their work and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in turn believing that the only reason you can achieve
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: something is due to luck. Because if that's the case,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: give up, stop trying to do anything, stop trying to work.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Your attitude's cooked anyway, and just sit on your ass,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: because if you're gonna achieve anything, it's gonna be fucking luck.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So why bother, why bother putting in the work, do
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It's a pathetic mindset to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: have and change it. The sooner you change that mindset
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that you know luck plays a part, then the sooner
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you're gonna start achieving shit, and the sooner you're gonna
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: start actioning shit because you're gonna realize, wait a minute,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop being a weak fucking dog and realize
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that it's actually action that's gonna get me there. And
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: if I was to fucking pull my fucking finger out
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and start taking this action on a daily basis, I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: would get there, just like those people that are doing
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: what I want to be doing, I would get there.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: It's way more achievable than you think. But it's consistency
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and it's showing up again and again and again. That's
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the difference. Are you prepared or are you not? There's
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: going to be certain things that are going to be
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: fucking boring or just uncomfortable, But are you or are
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you not prepared? Because at the end of the day,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the people that are doing the things that you want
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to be doing, are doing something that you're not prepared
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to be doing, and if you are prepared to be
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: doing it great Listen to the rest of this podcast.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Let's take some fucking action to make some serious change.
