Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Everything I've ever done in my life. I didn't want
- 0:03Speaker 1: to do everything every day.
- 0:05Speaker 2: I'm a lazy piece of shit.
- 0:09Speaker 1: And I'm one of the hardest working people that ever
- 0:11Speaker 1: step for us planet Earth. No one's gonna fucking come
- 0:14Speaker 1: to help me. No one's gonna fucking come to help me.
- 0:17Speaker 1: It's fucking me against me, period. And so I had
- 0:20Speaker 1: the man up and I said, first it guy. I
- 0:22Speaker 1: started doing his facing every fucking fear I have no
- 0:25Speaker 1: matter what the fuck it is, man, and these things
- 0:28Speaker 1: would keep me up, and I no one people who
- 0:30Speaker 1: are hearing this shit, they will never really understand and
- 0:33Speaker 1: grasp when you face these things and so many things.
- 0:36Speaker 2: How they keep you up and haunt you at night.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I had two options to either be that three hundred
- 0:42Speaker 1: pound guy who's prayed for cockroaches and made a thousand
- 0:45Speaker 1: dollars a month and at twenty four years old, knowing
- 0:49Speaker 1: when I'm fifty years old, I can reflect on this
- 0:51Speaker 1: and think about what guy never became. Or I can
- 0:54Speaker 1: totally just sack it up and fail and fail and
- 0:58Speaker 1: fail until I succeed. When the time comes I can't run,
- 1:02Speaker 1: the body will say you just can't run. But if
- 1:05Speaker 1: I can still do something that will power that I
- 1:09Speaker 1: have created it makes me do it every fucking day.
- 1:14Speaker 1: We have the easy voice, which is that twenty percent
- 1:17Speaker 1: telling yourself that you're I'm easy at ninety percent of
- 1:20Speaker 1: my full potential, maybe one hundred percent at that twenty percent.
- 1:23Speaker 1: That's that voice that we all love. That's that very
- 1:26Speaker 1: comfortable voice. That that's that mommy holding you saying it's
- 1:30Speaker 1: going to be okay, doesn't care how good you are,
- 1:34Speaker 1: just loves you.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Just loves you, no matter how messed up you are. Alive.
- 1:38Speaker 2: That's where we want to be at. So that's that
- 1:40Speaker 2: one voice.
- 1:42Speaker 1: This other voice that we walk very far away from
- 1:45Speaker 1: is a voice saying, hey man, you ain't doing shit.
- 1:49Speaker 1: So we try to get this voice out of our
- 1:51Speaker 1: head completely. And we live over here in this land.
- 1:55Speaker 1: So what you have to do first is turn up
- 1:57Speaker 1: this voice over here. The voice said things to you
- 2:01Speaker 1: that aren't nice. I'm not saying to put yourself down.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I'm saying, listen.
- 2:06Speaker 2: To the truth.
- 2:08Speaker 1: And the truth isn't in the twenty percent. The truth
- 2:12Speaker 1: is in this other part of your brain saying, look, man,
- 2:15Speaker 1: you're wasting a bunch of percentage.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Here.
- 2:18Speaker 1: We have eighty more percent that we're not tapping into
- 2:20Speaker 1: because in this other eighty percent, it's suffering, pain, failure, failure, failure,
- 2:30Speaker 1: self doubt, darkness, and then a whole bunch of light.
- 2:37Speaker 2: But to get to this light, you got to go
- 2:38Speaker 2: through all of this shit.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Why most people don't want to do that build that
- 2:44Speaker 1: will power is because of this scary It unlocks a
- 2:49Speaker 1: whole bunch of things about who you are and who
- 2:51Speaker 1: you're not. And a lot of people don't want to
- 2:54Speaker 1: go down that journey to discover who they are and
- 2:56Speaker 1: who they're not because it's not a pretty journey. It's
- 3:01Speaker 1: not like I went down at once. I go down
- 3:04Speaker 1: it all the time. And when you unlock that and
- 3:07Speaker 1: you can't just turn it off, like people say, Hey,
- 3:09Speaker 1: how come you haven't retired yet?
- 3:12Speaker 2: I built all this realpower. Do you think it's gonna
- 3:18Speaker 2: let me just retire?
- 3:20Speaker 1: Because my niece hurt is telling me every morning I
- 3:25Speaker 1: wake up like, man, I don't my knees hurt me,
- 3:27Speaker 1: my legs hurt, my body hurts.
- 3:29Speaker 2: But you can still run. Why aren't you running?
- 3:33Speaker 1: If you can still run, there'll be a time when
- 3:35Speaker 1: you can't lace them up anymore.
- 3:37Speaker 2: But you can still run, So I still run.
- 3:42Speaker 1: So a lot of us know that we know, we
- 3:45Speaker 1: do know deep down.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yeah I can get over here.
- 3:48Speaker 1: But over here, man, this is much better because I
- 3:50Speaker 1: gotta go through this journey that is not fun. This
- 3:54Speaker 1: from twenty to one hundred percent, this shit in between
- 3:58Speaker 1: is not fun. So we decide to live over here.
- 4:02Speaker 1: So everybody goes, how do you do that? You know
- 4:04Speaker 1: exactly how to do that, you know exactly. It's not
- 4:08Speaker 1: a magic trick. There's nothing to talk about in that
- 4:11Speaker 1: book that's a magic trick. It's all back down to
- 4:15Speaker 1: a very primitive mindset of we just have to do.
- 4:22Speaker 2: It's like breathing.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Breathing me coomes normal, like we didn't know that we're
- 4:27Speaker 1: doing it. That's how you have to live your life.
- 4:31Speaker 1: When now alarm clock goes off at four or five
- 4:33Speaker 1: in the morning, your mind says no.
- 4:36Speaker 2: You just say, it's just what we do. It's what
- 4:38Speaker 2: we do now.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Because to get to where you want to go, the
- 4:42Speaker 1: amount of pain involved. I'm not saying physical, I'm not
- 4:46Speaker 1: saying you got to break yourself off.
- 4:48Speaker 2: The amount of.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Mental pain of how many times you're gonna have to
- 4:52Speaker 1: do something that you don't want to do to get
- 4:55Speaker 1: to where you want to go. There's gon be more
- 4:58Speaker 1: times you do something that that you don't want to do,
- 5:01Speaker 1: then you are going to want to do it. That's
- 5:03Speaker 1: your new norm. So then it's like breathing. And then
- 5:06Speaker 1: once you do this over and over and over again, it.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Becomes like breathing.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I don't want to live this lifestyle, but to get
- 5:14Speaker 1: to the other side of this, I have to. So
- 5:17Speaker 1: if you really want it, you realize what trying is
- 5:20Speaker 1: and what trying is not. So and I sat there,
- 5:24Speaker 1: I said, this is my life.
- 5:25Speaker 2: I said, this is my life.
- 5:26Speaker 1: You are exactly who the fuck this is it? And
- 5:30Speaker 1: I said this ain't going to be it for me.
- 5:33Speaker 1: So in that restaurant, I quit my job, left my
- 5:37Speaker 1: canister in that restaurant, my spray canister, got back in
- 5:40Speaker 1: my eco lab truck, and I went home and I
- 5:43Speaker 1: started working out like somebody. I became the most obsessed
- 5:47Speaker 1: person on the planet Earth, and I.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Was basically.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I had to invent a.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Guy that didn't exist.
- 5:56Speaker 1: I had to invent a guy that can take any pain,
- 5:58Speaker 1: any suffering, any kind of judgement, be called nigger, be
- 6:02Speaker 1: called whatever the fuck in the world, and be able
- 6:03Speaker 1: to stand in the fucking room and say, go fuck yourself.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I had it built it.
- 6:06Speaker 1: I had to build this callous mind. And I built
- 6:09Speaker 1: it through suffering. I built it through downright fucking just
- 6:12Speaker 1: crushing myself. If it was raining outside three o'clock in
- 6:15Speaker 1: the fucking morning, it feels snowing, the first thing this
- 6:17Speaker 1: think is don't go out there and do shit. My
- 6:20Speaker 1: instinct was, we gotta fucking go out there. Anything that
- 6:24Speaker 1: was fucking horrible in my life that I would normally
- 6:27Speaker 1: say no, that was inhumane to most people, I had.
- 6:31Speaker 2: To go do it.
- 6:32Speaker 1: And I started callous in my mind at this point
- 6:35Speaker 1: in my life, and I lost the weight. I lost
- 6:38Speaker 1: the weight, and I went back to the recruiter. I
- 6:40Speaker 1: got into that class and I went through three Navy
- 6:44Speaker 1: still hell Weics in one year. Only guy to ever
- 6:47Speaker 1: be in three hell Weics in one year to my knowledge.
- 6:49Speaker 1: The first one I didn't make it through the next
- 6:51Speaker 1: two I did, and I didn't stop.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Anymore from there.
- 6:55Speaker 1: And I started realizing through this, through this process, that
- 7:00Speaker 1: the fucking mind is.
- 7:01Speaker 2: What you created.
- 7:03Speaker 1: And I started opening different doors that I didn't think
- 7:05Speaker 1: were even there, they didn't think even existed. And the
- 7:08Speaker 1: more doors are opening up, the more I started realizing
- 7:10Speaker 1: that my potential is damn near endless, and it changed
- 7:15Speaker 1: my whole mindset. So I went from David Goggins and
- 7:17Speaker 1: I created Goggins.
- 7:20Speaker 2: And discipline is good too, but without a clear headspace,
- 7:23Speaker 2: there's no discipline. Let's say we.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Have a circuit breaker and I'm loading everything up to
- 7:29Speaker 1: one fucking circuit, just loaded up. It's gonna fucking blow
- 7:35Speaker 1: once that thing blows. Man, the circuits are fucked up.
- 7:39Speaker 1: You gotta have each thing plugged into the right spot.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Like a fucking crowded garage. You can't put anything in it.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Once your brain is crowded. Discipline is great, Motivation is great,
- 7:52Speaker 1: but if you can't fit shit in your brain because
- 7:55Speaker 1: it's all fucking cluttered with shit, there's no discipline. You
- 8:01Speaker 1: may have it sometimes when it fits in that crowded
- 8:03Speaker 1: garage of your mind, but you don't have the consistency
- 8:07Speaker 1: that you need to have with that discipline. I call
- 8:10Speaker 1: it mental zones. I don't get into much because if
- 8:12Speaker 1: you could be here all day, but basically is you're
- 8:16Speaker 1: organized in your mind so you can put that discipline.
- 8:20Speaker 2: So a lot of people talk about discipline. Okay, great,
- 8:22Speaker 2: Why do you fall off the fucking wagon.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Why can't I continue with this routine, going to the gym,
- 8:30Speaker 1: being better, waking up early, eating the right foods. It's
- 8:33Speaker 1: because maybe it's your kids, maybe it's your wife, maybe
- 8:36Speaker 1: it's your job, and it's all just stuffed in your
- 8:39Speaker 1: fucking brain. You don't have it compartmentalized and organized in
- 8:43Speaker 1: these nice shelves like you look in at the garage.
- 8:46Speaker 1: It's all fucking a nice, organized, militant garage.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Hey, where are my dumbbells? Right there? A lot of
- 8:53Speaker 2: people whose brains, Hey where's my dumbes? Let me look.
- 8:55Speaker 2: They're fucking throwing shit, they're looking through totes. They're all
- 8:58Speaker 2: fucked up.
- 9:00Speaker 1: So where am I gonna put discipline in that mind?
- 9:03Speaker 1: If I can't find other shit? You got to be
- 9:06Speaker 1: able to find all these.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Different things in your mind.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Oh, I can put discipline right there, I can put
- 9:13Speaker 1: consistency right there. I can put all these things right
- 9:15Speaker 1: there in that spot. So that's what I'm talking about,
- 9:18Speaker 1: if your life is not organized and your life being
- 9:23Speaker 1: everything around you, because it takes one little fucked up
- 9:28Speaker 1: piece of an outside interference to.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Cutter your whole mind, and people don't get that. Your
- 9:34Speaker 2: mind has to always be clear. That's why.
- 9:37Speaker 1: That's why I meditate two hours every single night, because
- 9:42Speaker 1: I refresh. I reorganize the garage which is my mind
- 9:46Speaker 1: every night, so then discipline's in there, organization, everything is
- 9:51Speaker 1: in this right spot.
- 9:52Speaker 2: So when I wake up, I'm ready to go. And
- 9:54Speaker 2: that's what they don't get.
- 9:55Speaker 1: What builds a human being And you start with a
- 9:59Speaker 1: small building block. Before you know it, man, you become
- 10:01Speaker 1: something that you It doesn't even make sense to most
- 10:04Speaker 1: people because it's just who you are. Now.
- 10:06Speaker 2: That's why I can still run at fifty. We broke
- 10:08Speaker 2: with at fort.
- 10:09Speaker 1: And I broke down needs and broke down body because my.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Body knows you still can. Therefore I do.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Second you stop, the willpower is gone
