• 1:15
  want to share this because i'm often said that the
• 1:18
  morning it's it's set the tone so
• 1:22
  what it is that you want to do it for the rest of
• 1:24
  the day if you have a a positive
• 1:28
  energetic morning whatever it is good chances hey
• 1:32
  you know the rest of the day it's gonna
• 1:35
  be on amongst that line and i
• 1:37
  always emphasize that that a lot
• 1:40
  of times you know we don't we don't need motivation to uh wake
• 1:43
  up just getting up it's in itself it's a discipline for those
• 1:47
  people that have to get up you know your apparently you
• 1:49
  got to take your kids to school before you go to work
• 1:52
  or you just go to work or whatever it is if you're
• 1:56
  a farmer you wake up because hey you got to feed the animals all
• 1:59
  that good stuff you know it's a moving part you know.
• 2:01
  What i mean but the one thing you know that
• 2:04
  i noticed it's like oh time is flying that's one like
• 2:08
  flying like time has wings time has a passport and it's getting out of dodge
• 2:13
  wait a minute where are you going time because you know for those people out
• 2:18
  there it took me too long and a little bit too long for me to get to the age
• 2:24
  of 18 once I ate 18 it seems that time.
• 2:31
  And it's always a thing that they said that listen as you get older you experience,
• 2:35
  you experience just about it all so nothing is new to you you know what i mean
• 2:40
  so you know that's another different podcast that we'll talk about but one of
• 2:44
  the things that i want to talk about,
• 2:46
  is that here in the states and in many you know countries you know as we're
• 2:52
  moving towards the end of the calendar year we got the holidays here in the
• 2:56
  in the united states you know we We got the Thanksgiving.
• 3:00
  We got, well, you know, kind of start what we call Harvest Time,
• 3:03
  September. We got Labor Day.
• 3:05
  You know, we got what they call
• 3:06
  Indigenous Columbus Day. Then you got Halloween. You got Thanksgiving.
• 3:10
  You got the Christmas, the New Year's. You got the holidays.
• 3:12
  And a lot of stuff happened during that time.
• 3:17
  You know what I'm saying? So I kind of like want people, as you listen to this,
• 3:22
  like, hold up. Listen to this.
• 3:25
  Sometimes we're going to be like, well, you know, I'm going to wait for the
• 3:27
  New Year's to start doing that, to do the workout thing, to do all that good stuff.
• 3:32
  And I always say to myself, look, I'm a gym brat. I go to the gym four days a week.
• 3:38
  Sometimes I probably eat my five.
• 3:41
  But I say I'm a gym brat in terms that I enjoy going to the gym because I do
• 3:45
  have a discipline to wake up early and then just start making myself going to
• 3:51
  the gym and do that little way.
• 3:52
  Just because I'm a gym brat, I think I might look like a little gym mouse,
• 3:57
  a big gym mouse you know what
• 4:01
  i mean but that's what's going on so the end
• 4:05
  of the uh year is it's here just about and i
• 4:09
  want people to prepare their mind like what exactly it is once again 2026 people
• 4:13
  will be like damn you know new new year's resolution and all that good steps
• 4:17
  once and you know i tell people look listen don't ah don't fall to that trick
• 4:21
  man because that's where the gimmicks come in, the gyms come in,
• 4:26
  you know, all this stuff comes in that everything that you do in life had to
• 4:32
  do a lot with the beginning of the year.
• 4:34
  I was like, hey, listen, I always said every day, hit the reset button.
• 4:38
  If you had a great day today, you know what? Write something down. Remember it.
• 4:45
  If you had a bad day tomorrow, then, you know, the next following day,
• 4:48
  you hit the reset button. You don't have to wait until the next year.
• 4:53
  And I, you know, sometimes I respect people and how they live their life.
• 4:58
  Maybe that's the way, you know, they, hey, that's your thing.
• 5:02
  But I see that a lot of people kind of struggle with weight.
• 5:06
  They struggle with stress, you know, depression, you know, addictions or whatever it is.
• 5:12
  Then sometimes you got to ask yourself, what is the common denominator here?
• 5:17
  And sometimes you could have these different people that are
• 5:20
  struggling in different aspects of their life with different things and
• 5:24
  they have that one common thing i'm most likely if i
• 5:27
  sit down hey so when are you gonna start doing you know when are you gonna start
• 5:31
  uh fixing yourself well you know well i can't wait until the new year's barely
• 5:35
  if i grab 10 people we're all trying to have a different kind of situation that
• 5:42
  they feel like you know it's holding them back Like they busy at work.
• 5:46
  Again, they fall into this little addiction or whatever. You know,
• 5:50
  drinking or whatever the case might be.
• 5:53
  Gambling. You know, if you have issues, hey, reach out and seek help.
• 5:57
  Let's say, you know, weight loss, eating, whatever it is, bad habit that you can.
• 6:01
  If I grab 10 people, again, there's a good chance that even probably half or
• 6:06
  maybe a little bit half have that mentality. Okay, I know I need to change myself.
• 6:10
  But, you know, in the new year, it's a new year, new me, you know, type of deal.
• 6:14
  Way i say to myself stop it that's
• 6:18
  not good that's never got because remember
• 6:21
  tomorrow's never guaranteed i always said that so
• 6:25
  how can we just together like right now
• 6:27
  as we speak we in august the holidays come and remember there's people i'm in
• 6:32
  a small family so that crazy stuff of you know people coming over all that good
• 6:37
  stuff and you know i'm in between i got a small small small small family but
• 6:42
  those people that got big families responsibility you know it's a little,
• 6:46
  stress with the cooking who's coming over what we doing what when where whatever the case might be,
• 6:53
  for those single people out there who just uh house hop you know what i mean
• 6:56
  like a bunny like living life.
• 7:01
  You know, those people who just don't know who I want to spend time with.
• 7:05
  You know what I'm saying? And they just don't do anything.
• 7:07
  Hey, I'm not knocking on that game. You know what I mean? That happened to me.
• 7:13
  You know, sometimes I, you know, there's things even in my personal life.
• 7:17
  There's things in relationships that I need to address.
• 7:20
  There's a lot of things that, you know, I want to address so that,
• 7:23
  you know, Thanksgiving, the holiday comes in.
• 7:26
  I'm like, blaze of focus. This is what I'm going to do.
• 7:30
  And that's what I want people to do Like laser focus on certain things Just
• 7:34
  don't lose track We almost Couple of months away From the end of the year,
• 7:40
  And we don't have to Reset that button all the way Guess what We in August Almost
• 7:45
  late August September, October, November So four months You're gonna really
• 7:49
  wait four months To hit the reset button Really Four months A lot could happen in four months,
• 7:56
  Your addiction I'd say if you're someone who enjoys the little extra drinking, you know what I mean?
• 8:02
  Hey, that happened to me in my past before.
• 8:05
  You know, I enjoy the little extra beers there and there. The holiday comes,
• 8:09
  the next thing, I'm drinking gallons of whatever it is.
• 8:12
  Give me a keg, you know, from like the old times.
• 8:15
  Like if I was like some type of a Viking, like, holding a big ass,
• 8:20
  I'm sorry, a big cup of whatever it is.
• 8:25
  I feel like I was in a fraternity party forever. Chug, chug,
• 8:28
  chug, chug. You see, that's the thing there.
• 8:31
  Sometimes we go into these places where, hey, listen, whatever it is,
• 8:38
  if you're having issues like losing weight or whatever, you already know the
• 8:42
  holidays. You're going to be stuffing yourself.
• 8:45
  Even if you're someone that says, well, you know, I stopped eating meat.
• 8:48
  But whatever it is, if you're a vegetarian or vegan or whatever,
• 8:51
  you're going to stuff yourself with that stuff. Just because you eat that stuff
• 8:55
  doesn't mean that you ain't going to gain weight, you know.
• 8:59
  Like I always said, 5,000 calories of meat is no different than 5,000 calories of veggies.
• 9:07
  If you're counting calories, you know what I mean? Sometimes you don't want
• 9:09
  to do that because that throws you off.
• 9:12
  It's whatever. Feed your body to what best you can and what's affordable and
• 9:18
  what's out there, what's in your stretch, in your reach that you can do it.
• 9:24
  So I want my people, my legendary deconstructing topic podcast family,
• 9:29
  I want my people to just start thinking already.
• 9:33
  Again, September, October, November, December, holidays.
• 9:38
  Four months from now, yes, time is flying by, but it's like, blub, blub.
• 9:42
  Get a routine from here going on. Wake up, you know, again, waking up in the
• 9:47
  morning, it's a discipline.
• 9:50
  But a lot of people out here who listen to my podcast
• 9:53
  there's a good chance you got to wake up in the morning because
• 9:56
  you got some type of responsibility what if
• 10:00
  we decide to wake up a little bit uh earlier what can
• 10:04
  we do with that extra time what are
• 10:07
  we sacrificing for that extra time to wake up then we're sacrificing going to
• 10:11
  sleep early hey listen again this happened to me it happened to a lot of people
• 10:15
  you get home you get tired they say you work you want to watch a movie and the
• 10:20
  movie's like about an hour and something I think for some reason the other day,
• 10:26
  I don't know what made me want to watch that movie Minecraft I was just curious
• 10:31
  I know about Minecraft and somewhere I see that there were like I think 55 minutes
• 10:37
  in a movie and I was getting a little bit sleepy but you know there's people
• 10:41
  that just be like okay you know I started watching the movie,
• 10:43
  let me finish watching the movie,
• 10:45
  I was like, you know what, I close my laptop,
• 10:49
  I'm out, I'm gone, I'm going to sleep,
• 10:52
  but you see, I wake up early the next day.
• 10:57
  And sometimes you got to think like that, what can we do, what routine in the
• 11:02
  night can we sacrifice to say, you know what,
• 11:05
  I don't mind sleeping 30 minutes early, forget about these shows forget about
• 11:09
  whatever it is forget you know sacrifice something and let's see if that you
• 11:15
  could translate it into waking up early and then what can you do to wake up
• 11:18
  early there's a lot of stuff there's a lot of stuff.
• 11:23
  And I sometimes don't want people to have that vocabulary, but,
• 11:28
  oh, David, you know, I can, you know, my circumstance.
• 11:30
  I get it. Oh, trust me, I get it.
• 11:35
  But one could say is this. If you know that you want, like, deep inside,
• 11:42
  if you know that you want to make a change in your life, then you know you can.
• 11:49
  If you start telling yourself that you can't which is
• 11:53
  not a good vocabulary to have if you
• 11:56
  continue to wake up that you can't you can't you can't then
• 12:01
  basically life is just gonna throw you with little uh situations
• 12:04
  here where you actually are tracking that can't
• 12:07
  i know people that have been aboard
• 12:10
  um exercise equipment for home why
• 12:14
  you buy that exercise bike for well you
• 12:17
  know i'm gonna see if I could do okay so that means somewhere in
• 12:20
  your life you bought that bike that means that you're doing something in your
• 12:25
  life that you know you could do it that means that you can make time yeah yeah
• 12:28
  you know well I'm gonna do my best the next thing that bike becomes a a clothes
• 12:34
  hanger of cats and dust no it's just that I've been busy just but wait a Wait a minute,
• 12:41
  what happened that you went from buying the bike, because you know you can,
• 12:48
  to now I don't know, but you can't.
• 12:51
  And I'll guarantee you, if you sit down.
• 12:55
  You talk to that person, whatever it is in between, it's procrastination.
• 13:00
  And I always say procrastination is a form of depression because you don't do anything.
• 13:07
  When you don't do anything productive in your life and you're just sitting down.
• 13:12
  Because guess what? Sometimes a lot of people, I hate to say it.
• 13:16
  It's funny how you're just feeling a certain way and you're not going to use
• 13:22
  your exercise bike, but you could eat chips.
• 13:25
  A big bag of Doritos. I'm not being paid by Doritos or any anti-Dorito company
• 13:33
  here. I'm just saying, you know.
• 13:35
  Doritos Got that cheese You know Get your fingers all cheesy But that's the fact,
• 13:42
  That you ain't gonna do anything productive Between that person that bought
• 13:47
  the bike Versus the person that has the bike That's not using it You know what I mean?
• 13:53
  And I know that a little circumstances come in And like But trust me,
• 13:59
  You start giving five minutes in that bike Because that's the other thing too,
• 14:04
  and that's one of the things and and i'm pretty sure i'm going to be talking
• 14:07
  about in my podcast down the line
• 14:09
  uh a little exercise routine or a little routine let's start a routine,
• 14:14
  sometimes people say you know what because you hear the things that you know
• 14:17
  it's always that thing that mindset you know you need to at least do 30 minutes
• 14:21
  of something right and i get it you know i get it because you want your body
• 14:27
  to kind of be at least have this percentage of the day that is active, right?
• 14:36
  You know, besides some of the fun stuff, you know what I mean?
• 14:39
  Wink, wink. But you can emphasize that.
• 14:43
  You can emphasize that. Listen, we need some time.
• 14:46
  Don't go out there and let you, yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever programs,
• 14:50
  whatever, it's internet articles.
• 14:52
  Be like, well, you know, you at least need 30 minutes.
• 14:56
  Start with five minutes. How about that? You might say, oh, but what can't we
• 15:01
  do in five minutes? What you're not doing in five minutes, you know what I mean?
• 15:05
  Because you're gonna waste five minutes or nothing so why
• 15:09
  not just jump in the bike just get the legs rolling every
• 15:13
  day let's go from five to six to seven to ten i don't know where you're gonna
• 15:19
  realize hey listen there's people especially on the internet on the phones there's
• 15:25
  people out there using their phones and i'm telling you you take away 50 of
• 15:31
  their users on the phone because It's not just talking.
• 15:34
  You're on the YouTube. You're on this. You're on the TikTok.
• 15:37
  Whatever it is. Laughing. Whatever.
• 15:39
  Take 50% off and I'll guarantee the next thing is like, wow.
• 15:43
  So I use my phone that much, like an hour per day, that I do 50%. That's 30 minutes.
• 15:49
  Now those start 30 minutes that I'm using on the bike. I'm just saying.
• 15:53
  Let's get something going on. Let's get a little routine going on before the
• 15:57
  end of the year so that when 26 happen, you got something.
