Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We don't take a second to realize the purpose is
- 0:04Speaker 1: always there. The purpose never leaves us because the very
- 0:08Speaker 1: purpose is you.
- 0:09Speaker 2: You are always the purpose.
- 0:12Speaker 1: There may be another purpose like being a seal or
- 0:15Speaker 1: going to college or whatever, but the main purpose in
- 0:18Speaker 1: life is you.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Your laziness is something that has to do with you.
- 0:22Speaker 3: You're not connected to something deep enough. You don't feel
- 0:25Speaker 3: the necessity. You don't feel the devil at your heels.
- 0:29Speaker 3: You don't feel the fact that you're very well die tomorrow.
- 0:32Speaker 3: It will impel you to get something done. There's no
- 0:35Speaker 3: necessity behind it. And the human animal that we will
- 0:39Speaker 3: create is when we feel pressure, we feel the necessity
- 0:43Speaker 3: to get things done.
- 0:44Speaker 2: We can move mountains. And you're lazy. You know exactly
- 0:48Speaker 2: what to do, exactly what to do.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Because even me, in my state of I can't read
- 0:53Speaker 1: or write, I knew exactly what to do. It just
- 0:57Speaker 1: sucks doing it, sucks to do it.
- 1:02Speaker 4: Most people, the bottom eighty percent, are lazy and they're
- 1:05Speaker 4: looking for an easy way. They're looking for a shortcut
- 1:09Speaker 4: to be successful, and there are not there aren't any.
- 1:12Speaker 4: But if you do something repeatedly over and over, you
- 1:15Speaker 4: develop a habit. So most people are in the habit
- 1:18Speaker 4: of looking for easy ways to get the things they want.
- 1:22Speaker 5: To do anything successfully in life, you've got to want
- 1:26Speaker 5: it as bad as you want to breathe. And if
- 1:29Speaker 5: you want it that bad, if you're willing to give
- 1:33Speaker 5: it that much, in life and dreams do come true,
- 1:37Speaker 5: anything you want can happen and become a reality. I
- 1:40Speaker 5: believe that sincerely, and I'll die on that thought.
- 1:43Speaker 2: If you think.
- 1:46Speaker 1: The price of winning is too high, wait till you
- 1:49Speaker 1: get the bill from regret.
- 1:52Speaker 2: And that bill from regret is generational.
- 1:55Speaker 6: It's just a matter of what's important to you and
- 1:58Speaker 6: what's important to you for whatever reason. You know, I
- 2:02Speaker 6: felt like I didn't feel good about myself if I
- 2:06Speaker 6: wasn't doing everything I could to be the best version
- 2:10Speaker 6: of myself. If I felt like I left anything on
- 2:13Speaker 6: the table, it would eat away at me. I wouldn't
- 2:16Speaker 6: be able to look myself in the mirror. And so
- 2:19Speaker 6: the reason why I can retire now and be completely
- 2:20Speaker 6: comfortable about it because I know that I've done everything
- 2:24Speaker 6: I could to be the best basketball player I could be.
- 2:27Speaker 2: That's where it comes from for me. You can't leave
- 2:28Speaker 2: any stone on turn.
- 2:30Speaker 7: Nobody handed me nothing if you want it, go get it.
- 2:35Speaker 7: Stop telling your visions to other people because they not
- 2:39Speaker 7: going to see it. Why you think you keep imagining
- 2:42Speaker 7: opening a business? Why do you keep imagining buying a house?
- 2:46Speaker 7: Why do you keep imagining driving a really nice car?
- 2:50Speaker 7: Why do you keep imagining getting rich one day? Why
- 2:54Speaker 7: do you keep imagining that? Because God is talking to
- 2:58Speaker 7: you when you something that He has for you.
- 3:03Speaker 8: When I was a kid, I was wondering, kind of
- 3:06Speaker 8: what's the meaning of life?
- 3:08Speaker 2: Like why are we here?
- 3:09Speaker 8: What's it all about? And I came to the conclusion
- 3:13Speaker 8: that what really matters is trying to understand the right
- 3:17Speaker 8: questions to ask.
- 3:19Speaker 9: No more around you want your life to be better.
- 3:22Speaker 9: I can't help you, can't help you your robe and
- 3:24Speaker 9: can't help you all.
- 3:25Speaker 2: We can't help me.
- 3:26Speaker 9: Only you can help you. Grab your fucking ball, get
- 3:29Speaker 9: a notebook and write down what the you're gonna do
- 3:32Speaker 9: this year?
- 3:33Speaker 2: And this is it.
- 3:33Speaker 9: You're not gonna have these problems to drugs, to cigarettes,
- 3:37Speaker 9: it all starts. Can tell you right, no more excuse this,
- 3:40Speaker 9: that's the this is the year of the soldier. We're
- 3:44Speaker 9: getting back what belongs to us, and that's it.
- 3:46Speaker 10: A lot of people want to be successful, but they
- 3:48Speaker 10: want to go to the club on Thursday, on Friday,
- 3:51Speaker 10: on Saturday, on Sunday, and then on Monday. They're getting
- 3:55Speaker 10: out performed by everybody in the office, and they're wondering,
- 3:58Speaker 10: why don't.
- 3:58Speaker 2: I get to raise in the promotion. Shut your hands up.
- 4:01Speaker 2: That's why, man, get to work. Get back to work.
- 4:04Speaker 2: It's time to get back to work.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Stop hearing yourself talk, Get off the podcast, don't be
- 4:10Speaker 1: on social media much.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Cut out all the noise.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Get back to the mental lab because that's where the
- 4:15Speaker 1: knowledge came from.
- 4:17Speaker 7: Expand yourself. Take yourself out your comfort zone. Do not
- 4:22Speaker 7: live in your bubble. Put some more air in your bubble.
- 4:26Speaker 7: If you stay in your comfort zone, that's where you
- 4:28Speaker 7: will fail. You will fail in your comfort zone. Success
- 4:33Speaker 7: is not a comfortable procedure. It is a very uncomfortable
- 4:37Speaker 7: thing to a tim So you gotta get comfortable being
- 4:41Speaker 7: uncomfortable if you ever want to be successful. Look, I
- 4:45Speaker 7: love to sugarcoat this thing for you.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I love to tell you.
- 4:48Speaker 7: Look, you can go out here and get rich, do
- 4:50Speaker 7: a couple of things. Day happen. You gotta get real doggish,
- 4:55Speaker 7: You gotta get downright funk if you want to make
- 4:57Speaker 7: it now, like I was telling you before, if you
- 4:59Speaker 7: want to be on ordinary, you ain't even gotta listen
- 5:01Speaker 7: to me. Just go about your business. If you think
- 5:05Speaker 7: ordinary is cool, ain't no problem. It's some really really
- 5:09Speaker 7: wonderful ordinary people. But if you are sitting in this
- 5:13Speaker 7: room and you have extraordinary aspirations, then you're gonna have.
- 5:16Speaker 2: To do extra.
- 5:19Speaker 7: You put extra on top of exordinary, and you come
- 5:22Speaker 7: up with extraordinary.
- 5:24Speaker 2: It's no other way.
- 5:26Speaker 11: All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it again because you might have missed it.

- 5:48Speaker 2: Give me a focus? I don't know where I would
- 5:51Speaker 2: be whatever Montreal And that's right.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Have to be so authentic and so real about my
- 5:56Speaker 1: own insecurities, my own false This is being a person.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I'm not the best at anything, I'm not gifted. I'm
- 6:01Speaker 1: just driving. And it's all about trying to share that
- 6:04Speaker 1: message with people. It's all about you know, I speak
- 6:06Speaker 1: to a lot of people.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Find you're impossible. What is it you think it's impossible?
- 6:12Speaker 2: You could never quite grasp that's.
- 6:14Speaker 5: What you can that's what you can go after. You
- 6:16Speaker 5: don't have a dream, man, you're dead.
- 6:19Speaker 2: You'll only go as far as your dream I say.
- 6:21Speaker 12: I tell that to comics all the time, though, I
- 6:23Speaker 12: just want to make a living on it, and I'm like,
- 6:24Speaker 12: that's all you'll do.
- 6:26Speaker 2: You gotta dream big. Yeah. I think people say that
- 6:29Speaker 2: because they're trying to be humble. Yeah, but universe doesn't
- 6:32Speaker 2: reward humility.
- 6:33Speaker 7: Man.
- 6:33Speaker 2: You might can be humbled with everybody else, but you
- 6:34Speaker 2: gotta tell the hey.
- 6:36Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to be bigger than life.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Yup.
- 6:40Speaker 5: If you give up on your dreams, If you give
- 6:42Speaker 5: up on your dreams, what do you have left?
- 6:48Speaker 2: Nothing? I can't live that way.
- 6:51Speaker 14: I wasn't born to be wrapped up in bubble wrapping
- 6:53Speaker 14: a blanket that said on the couch and tremble as
- 6:57Speaker 14: the world goes by outside.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Of my door.
- 7:01Speaker 14: I want the world to tremble when I go by.
- 7:03Speaker 2: In story.
- 7:05Speaker 14: So it's a state of mind, all right. It's a
- 7:07Speaker 14: state of mind to learn, adjust what you can and
- 7:13Speaker 14: and then just embrace the rest of it.
- 7:15Speaker 2: We're all writing a book.
- 7:18Speaker 15: What's your book look like? What does your book look like?
- 7:23Speaker 15: Like your life is a book. You got a bunch
- 7:26Speaker 15: of chapters in your book. But when they closed that book,
- 7:31Speaker 15: how good was the book?
- 7:33Speaker 2: How good was your book? What was the ending to
- 7:36Speaker 2: your book?
- 7:37Speaker 15: At the ending to my book can be so amazing
- 7:42Speaker 15: because of all that was done.
- 7:45Speaker 1: We all like to take this four lane highway, the
- 7:48Speaker 1: easy highways, has been signs, it has restaurants. We all
- 7:53Speaker 1: love that four lane highway. We always step over the shovel.
- 7:57Speaker 1: And all I did was I picked up that and
- 7:59Speaker 1: shovel and shove. I made my own path. And you
- 8:02Speaker 1: may have big.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Boulders and shit, they may be getting towards the mouths
- 8:05Speaker 2: of the real faster than you.
- 8:07Speaker 1: But going through this path of life, this journey over
- 8:09Speaker 1: here that you make yourself, that's incredibly difficult, but it
- 8:13Speaker 1: comes out to the.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Other end of them. There is some glorious shit that
- 8:17Speaker 2: you can't even explain to people. And we're fright.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Bottom line is most of us, even if people who
- 8:22Speaker 1: have all these theories and shit, it's easier to accept
- 8:25Speaker 1: the fact that I'm just not good enough. I wasn't
- 8:29Speaker 1: made to do that. And yeah, some of us can't
- 8:32Speaker 1: be Lebron James, but I'll tell you right now, man.
- 8:35Speaker 2: We can do a lot of shit.
- 8:36Speaker 1: When it comes to this pure arm, guts and will
- 8:38Speaker 1: power and getting through shit.
- 8:40Speaker 2: We have a lot more, with a lot more than
- 8:42Speaker 2: when we think we have.
- 8:43Speaker 5: From that day forward, I made a promise that I will.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Give it everything I got.
- 8:48Speaker 5: I'm ready to die for what I had to have
- 8:50Speaker 5: to succeed. I have to give it everything I got.
- 8:53Speaker 5: That way, I'm a winner no matter what.
- 8:55Speaker 6: The Mamba mentality simply means trying to be the best
- 8:59Speaker 6: version of yourself. That's what the mentality means. It means
- 9:03Speaker 6: every day you know, you're trying to become better. Every
- 9:06Speaker 6: person has the ability to put one foot in front
- 9:08Speaker 6: of you. What's that by the time, right, So like
- 9:10Speaker 6: if you're saying, Okay, I'm gonna climb Mount Everest, you're
- 9:13Speaker 6: at the bottom of the mountain and you look up.
- 9:15Speaker 2: And you're going, I'm not gonna go.
- 9:18Speaker 7: Right.
- 9:18Speaker 6: But if you break it down into sections, it's just
- 9:21Speaker 6: one foot in front of the other, one step at
- 9:23Speaker 6: a time. Next thing, you know, you at the top
- 9:25Speaker 6: of the mountain.
- 9:27Speaker 2: You can't stop, you can't quit. I want to be
- 9:33Speaker 2: the guy that people looked at.
- 9:34Speaker 1: I don't keep you blacking or again, like I don't care,
- 9:36Speaker 1: but he said, this girl's gonna keep coming after whatever
- 9:41Speaker 1: is in front of them.
- 9:43Speaker 9: Man.
- 9:43Speaker 16: I like the picture God looking down and saying, yeah,
- 9:46Speaker 16: but that boy just won't you just watching? You'll get
- 9:52Speaker 16: back up, and you'll get up swinging, and you'll try again.
- 9:56Speaker 16: You just don't quit, you know. Get out of those stands,
- 10:03Speaker 16: get an arena, get dirty. That's where get bloody, get
- 10:07Speaker 16: knocked down, getting back up, get knocked down again, get
- 10:13Speaker 16: back up, and when people pointed you and laugh at
- 10:19Speaker 16: your failure, say yeah, I'm in the arena with a
- 10:21Speaker 16: sword in my hand and you're setting up inner standing
- 10:25Speaker 16: with a biscuit in yours.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Who's more brown? One time in my life I felt
- 10:34Speaker 2: that what was my purpose?
- 10:39Speaker 17: And sometimes you graduate out of high school, you look
- 10:42Speaker 17: for that job, you look for that career, college.
- 10:48Speaker 9: The degree.
- 10:49Speaker 2: You still question, is this my purpose? I want to
- 10:56Speaker 2: talk to you.
- 10:59Speaker 17: About this. In turn, you're center your purpose. One question
- 11:10Speaker 17: that I always ask myself, even if I would always
- 11:15Speaker 17: ask myself, is your purpose? What's your purpose for living?
- 11:23Speaker 17: Do you know your purpose?
- 11:25Speaker 2: What you're created to do? Do you know what that is?
- 11:31Speaker 17: A lot of people live their entire lives, not knowing,
- 11:39Speaker 17: entire lifetime, not being happy because they feel as though
- 11:46Speaker 17: they're not fulfilling their purpose.
- 11:48Speaker 8: You see that man right there.
- 11:50Speaker 1: So like, for instance, let's say you have no raceis,
- 11:54Speaker 1: let's say you have no classes, no nothing you have
- 11:57Speaker 1: there's no purpose.
- 11:58Speaker 2: In your life.
- 11:59Speaker 1: You know, people need to have purpose to get up,
- 12:01Speaker 1: They need purpose to perform. You need to get to
- 12:05Speaker 1: a point in your life where there's nothing on the docket,
- 12:09Speaker 1: there's no five K, there's no there's no I'm going.
- 12:13Speaker 2: To get into school to be this or that is
- 12:15Speaker 2: still performed to the highest level.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Because what people don't get is one day that thing
- 12:21Speaker 1: is gonna come up. And if you're not constantly performing
- 12:25Speaker 1: without purpose.
- 12:27Speaker 2: You're not going to be ready when a time comes.
- 12:30Speaker 13: We've been around for three and a half billion years.
- 12:32Speaker 13: You know, every single one of your relatives propagated successfully.
- 12:37Speaker 13: And here you are, against all possible odds in this
- 12:41Speaker 13: in this world of hell in some sense and bitterness
- 12:45Speaker 13: and and and tyranny and malevolence, and yet God only
- 12:50Speaker 13: knows what's inside you. This capacity for consciousness, the capacity
- 12:54Speaker 13: to confront potential and to turn it into something good.
- 12:58Speaker 13: That's us Man, that's the Western story.
- 13:02Speaker 2: That's the individual.
- 13:03Speaker 13: As the cornerstone of the state. That's our responsibility, and
- 13:08Speaker 13: it really is who we are. And so we need
- 13:11Speaker 13: to know that, and we need to remember it, and
- 13:13Speaker 13: we need to act it out and then maybe we
- 13:16Speaker 13: can see what we can do about it, you.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Know, and see how good we could make things.
- 13:20Speaker 13: And maybe that would be the purpose of your damn life, right,
- 13:23Speaker 13: not to be happy.
- 13:25Speaker 2: It's like, there's problems to be solved.
- 13:27Speaker 13: Be happy after you get solved the goddamn things.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Right, is this magical thing purpose that we're all looking for.
- 13:41Speaker 1: But what's funny about it all is that we need
- 13:44Speaker 1: these things to perform, but we don't take a second
- 13:47Speaker 1: to realize the purpose is always there. The purpose never
- 13:52Speaker 1: leaves us because the very purpose is you.
- 13:56Speaker 2: You are always the purpose.
- 13:58Speaker 1: There may be another purpose being a seal or going
- 14:01Speaker 1: to college or whatever, but the main purpose in life
- 14:04Speaker 1: is you. So if you wake up in the morning
- 14:07Speaker 1: and you don't want to do something, you don't.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Care enough about yourself.
- 14:12Speaker 1: If that's what you need to really research, is, man,
- 14:16Speaker 1: why am I not doing this for myself? Because that
- 14:19Speaker 1: is the number one purpose in life is to better oneself.
- 14:25Speaker 1: So that's the only purpose I need. So the reason
- 14:28Speaker 1: I get every day even though there's no race or
- 14:30Speaker 1: there's no school, there's nothing in front of me, is
- 14:33Speaker 1: because I have pride in myself.
- 14:36Speaker 13: And it would be so good if we could. People wonder, well,
- 14:39Speaker 13: what's the meaning of life? Like, what's it all about?
- 14:41Speaker 13: What justifies the suffering and the misery and all of that.
- 14:45Speaker 13: It's like, well, that's what justifies it. Is like you
- 14:48Speaker 13: put yourself up against that. You think, okay, all with
- 14:51Speaker 13: all of this pushing against me, how much can I
- 14:55Speaker 13: push back? Could I move the horror and inch back
- 14:59Speaker 13: with all this drink that I have at my disposal?
- 15:02Speaker 2: Man? And answer to that is yeah, you can.
- 15:05Speaker 13: It makes you better with regards to yourself, but it
- 15:09Speaker 13: also makes the world a better place and so well,
- 15:14Speaker 13: so you don't wear that.
- 15:22Speaker 18: It's easy to give up, really easy. It's the easiest
- 15:25Speaker 18: thing in the world to do. All right, I'm done.
- 15:27Speaker 18: I ain't going, I ain't gonna keep going. I feel
- 15:30Speaker 18: like going to work.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Done. Y. It's easy, It's very easy.
- 15:33Speaker 18: But what's hard is going.
- 15:35Speaker 9: Yo.
- 15:35Speaker 18: Yesterday I got nothing from working as hard as I could.
- 15:39Speaker 18: Nothing happened from that I'm gonna do the same thing
- 15:42Speaker 18: again to day, but I'm gonna try to go harder.
- 15:44Speaker 18: That's the hardest thing in the world to get up
- 15:46Speaker 18: every day and give one hundred percent and and be
- 15:50Speaker 18: in the same position that you were each day. But
- 15:53Speaker 18: mentally know that you're trying and trying and trying. That's
- 15:56Speaker 18: that's a real that's a real grind.
- 15:59Speaker 2: We don't want to suffer, we don't want to feel discomfort.
- 16:03Speaker 1: So the whole time we're living our lives in a
- 16:05Speaker 1: very comfortable area, there's no growth in that. So for me,
- 16:10Speaker 1: I realized that the reason I became two or ninety.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Seven pounds is because that was comfortable.
- 16:15Speaker 1: What was very uncomfortable was running, was very uncomfortable. Was
- 16:19Speaker 1: being on a diet, was very uncomfortable. Was trying to
- 16:23Speaker 1: face things that I didn't want to face. And I
- 16:26Speaker 1: also realized when I was really big, I had no growth,
- 16:30Speaker 1: why because I was living comfortable.
- 16:32Speaker 2: So I realized for me to find.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Growth, I had to face all these different things that
- 16:38Speaker 1: made me very very uncomfortable.
- 16:40Speaker 2: One thing I faced was running.
- 16:43Speaker 1: I absolutely hated running, but I knew for me to grow,
- 16:49Speaker 1: I had to do this thing every single day.
- 16:51Speaker 2: I wanted to start callousing my mind. I wanted to
- 16:53Speaker 2: start becoming a better person.
- 16:55Speaker 1: And how you become a better person, how you gain
- 16:57Speaker 1: mental toughness, how you become a person you want to
- 17:00Speaker 1: be is constantly facing the things that you don't want
- 17:04Speaker 1: to face. If you constantly run away from things that
- 17:08Speaker 1: you don't want to face, how is their growth?
- 17:10Speaker 2: How is their mental toughness. I can give you a
- 17:12Speaker 2: class all.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Day long about self talk, visualization, eat an elephant.
- 17:17Speaker 2: One by at a time.
- 17:18Speaker 1: But if you're never putting yourself in a situation to
- 17:21Speaker 1: actually practice these things, you're never going to grow. I
- 17:25Speaker 1: can't put you out there in a We're all going
- 17:28Speaker 1: through a battle in our mind.
- 17:30Speaker 2: A warrior is not a person that carries a gun.
- 17:33Speaker 1: The biggest warrior ever go through is wipe between your
- 17:37Speaker 1: own ears.
- 17:38Speaker 2: It's in your mind.
- 17:39Speaker 1: We're all going through a war in our mind, and
- 17:42Speaker 1: we have to calosh our mind to fight that.
- 17:44Speaker 2: War and to win that war.
- 17:46Speaker 19: You know, the one that you have to really fight
- 17:48Speaker 19: is the war against yourself. You have to fight the
- 17:52Speaker 19: war against yourself. And now it's not easy to look
- 17:56Speaker 19: in the mirror and to change your own life. It's
- 17:59Speaker 19: hot as hell. You have to take responsibility, you have
- 18:02Speaker 19: to learn new things. You have to feel uncomfortable good
- 18:06Speaker 19: because discomfort is how we grow, That's how we become strong.
- 18:11Speaker 19: If you run away from discomfort and resistance your whole life,
- 18:14Speaker 19: you will always be weak. Just think about the gym,
- 18:17Speaker 19: for instance. But that's where I learned most of my lessons.
- 18:19Speaker 9: Right.
- 18:20Speaker 19: The muscles only grows from resistance. You have to struggle.
- 18:24Speaker 19: You have to build strength. The more I've was my
- 18:28Speaker 19: hands against it steel bar, the bigger the bicyles getting,
- 18:31Speaker 19: the stronger they get. And I was trying to squat
- 18:34Speaker 19: six hundred pounds and bench press five hundred pounds and
- 18:37Speaker 19: dead lifts seven hundred. It didn't feel like a walk
- 18:40Speaker 19: in the park. It wasn't easy. No, I was uncomfortable.
- 18:45Speaker 19: It was painful. I mean, look at those photos. I
- 18:49Speaker 19: was struggling. I was crying out loud than pain. I
- 18:54Speaker 19: don't want you to be loser. I don't want you
- 18:57Speaker 19: to be weak. See, I've spent most of my life
- 19:03Speaker 19: helping people find their strength. This is when the actually strength.
- 19:08Speaker 19: And despite all of the things that we may disagree about.
- 19:11Speaker 19: All my friends who might say I don't talk to
- 19:14Speaker 19: those people it's unworth it. I don't get what they say.
- 19:18Speaker 19: I care about you. I thank you birth it.
- 19:24Speaker 20: Sometimes you need to get knocked down before you can
- 19:28Speaker 20: really figure out what your fight is and how you
- 19:32Speaker 20: need to fight it. Sometimes you need to feel the
- 19:35Speaker 20: pain and sting of defeat to activate the real passion
- 19:39Speaker 20: and purpose that God predestined inside of you. I don't
- 19:51Speaker 20: know what your future is, but if you are willing
- 19:55Speaker 20: to take the heart away, the more complicated one, the
- 19:59Speaker 20: one with more failures at first that successes, the one
- 20:03Speaker 20: that has ultimately proven to have more meeting, more victory,
- 20:07Speaker 20: more glory, then you will not regret it.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Now this is your time. The younger generation quits, not everybody,
- 20:23Speaker 2: So I got I gotta put that. People get the
- 20:25Speaker 2: butt hurt, so not everybody. Most of this.
- 20:28Speaker 1: Generation quits the second they get talk to you.
- 20:33Speaker 2: You did this wrong, you did this wrong, or they
- 20:35Speaker 2: get yoed at.
- 20:36Speaker 1: It's so easy say to be great nowadays because everybody
- 20:40Speaker 1: else is.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Most people are weak. This is a softened generation. So
- 20:45Speaker 2: if you have.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Any mental toughness, any any ability, do you have any
- 20:49Speaker 1: fraction of self discipline, the ability to not want to
- 20:55Speaker 1: do it but still do it.
- 20:57Speaker 2: People have a hard thing to understand. I hate to
- 21:00Speaker 2: run and it makes me so crazy. It doesn't need
- 21:03Speaker 2: more people, Well, why do you run if you hate it?
- 21:07Speaker 2: What are you talking about? I don't want to take
- 21:10Speaker 2: showers and eat either. I hate that too, the whole.
- 21:13Speaker 1: That's a life, man, And it wasn't until I changed
- 21:18Speaker 1: that mentality I became somebody I hated going to school,
- 21:22Speaker 1: So guess what I was dumb as shit. That's what
- 21:26Speaker 1: one plus one is too. But if you can get
- 21:29Speaker 1: through to doing things that you hate to do, on
- 21:33Speaker 1: the other side is greatness.
- 21:35Speaker 2: That's what people a understanding by me running. I am
- 21:39Speaker 2: callous in my mind. I'm not training for a race.
- 21:43Speaker 2: I'm training for life.
- 21:45Speaker 1: I'm training for the time when I get that two
- 21:47Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning call that my mom is dead or.
- 21:50Speaker 2: Something happens tragic in life. I don't fall apart.
- 21:55Speaker 1: I'm training my mind and my body and my spirit,
- 21:57Speaker 1: so it's all one so I can handle what life
- 21:59Speaker 1: is gonna throw me because I've lived it. There was
- 22:03Speaker 1: a whole bunch at you. And if you're not physically
- 22:06Speaker 1: immensely prepared for that, you're.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Just gonna crumble and you're good for nobody.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Going back to who I am, how I became who
- 22:25Speaker 1: I am today, and it comes back from hard work,
- 22:28Speaker 1: It comes back from having that very minimalistic mindset.
- 22:33Speaker 13: The first step taken towards the domination of chaos and
- 22:37Speaker 13: its transformation into order is a cardinal and difficult step.
- 22:41Speaker 2: And so you can make it small and that's fine.
- 22:44Speaker 2: It will still work.
- 22:45Speaker 13: So I might say, well, just just move the vacuum
- 22:47Speaker 13: cleaner inside your room, And then I would also say
- 22:49Speaker 13: to someone in that situation, don't do more than that.
- 22:54Speaker 13: If the agreement that you've made with me and with
- 22:57Speaker 13: yourself is that that's abide by the contract that you've
- 23:03Speaker 13: written with yourself and allow yourself to be grateful for
- 23:09Speaker 13: the fact that you had the courage to take even
- 23:11Speaker 13: a single step forward, and don't push your bloody luck,
- 23:16Speaker 13: because maybe you'll have a brief fit and vacuum the
- 23:20Speaker 13: whole rug, and then you'll be so annoyed at how
- 23:23Speaker 13: you've destabilized your entire life that you'll redouble your attempts
- 23:27Speaker 13: to make a mess, and the place will be more
- 23:29Speaker 13: like hell than ever.
- 23:30Speaker 2: For two months.
- 23:32Speaker 13: You have to start as low as you are, useless
- 23:35Speaker 13: and that's low. So once you take the first step,
- 23:39Speaker 13: the probability that you'll take a slightly larger second step increases,
- 23:44Speaker 13: and that increases nonlinearly.
- 23:47Speaker 1: But as I was there for so long, I got
- 23:49Speaker 1: a really good chance to sit back because now the
- 23:51Speaker 1: cold waters is water. Now it's not a cold anymore.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Your mind starts to change. They say, get in the water.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Most people think about it. For you, it became my life.
- 24:02Speaker 1: So I started learning that if you start to change
- 24:04Speaker 1: your mindset versus it being like, oh my god, this sucks.
- 24:09Speaker 1: I became a professional bud student, so I wasn't gonna
- 24:12Speaker 1: leave until I graduated. So I started realizing, if this
- 24:16Speaker 1: is my home, this is what I am. I had
- 24:19Speaker 1: to always reset the bar. I had to reset my
- 24:23Speaker 1: new norm. There always had to be a new norm.
- 24:25Speaker 1: So one thing we don't do is we don't have
- 24:27Speaker 1: a new norm. My new norm is you get up
- 24:29Speaker 1: every fucking morning at four o'clock and you suffer. This
- 24:32Speaker 1: is your new norm. That became my new fucking life.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Most people want to get out of me. I said, no, motherfucker,
- 24:38Speaker 1: this is your new life. This is who you are.
- 24:41Speaker 1: Your new norm is you wake up and you suffer.
- 24:44Speaker 1: I started realizing, if that's my mentality.
- 24:48Speaker 2: This shit ain't hard anymore. You're fucking new normals.
- 24:51Speaker 1: You wake up, you get in the fucking cold water,
- 24:53Speaker 1: You're gonna be here to this shit's fucking done.
- 24:55Speaker 21: Whenever they say you're out, you get out. So my
- 24:58Speaker 21: new norm so I do that now to to day.
- 25:00Speaker 21: My new norm now is if I'm doing the chorice
- 25:02Speaker 21: of my run. Your new norm now, man, is you
- 25:04Speaker 21: fucking are doing? You aren't fucking mobs.
- 25:07Speaker 22: If the lion is the king of the jungle, how
- 25:09Speaker 22: can he be the king of the jungle.
- 25:12Speaker 2: If he's not the biggest.
- 25:14Speaker 22: The elephant is probably one of the biggest. He can't
- 25:17Speaker 22: be the fastest because that's a cheat. He can't be
- 25:20Speaker 22: the smartest, So he's not the biggest, the fastest, or
- 25:24Speaker 22: the smartest.
- 25:25Speaker 2: So how does the lion.
- 25:28Speaker 22: Become the king of the jungle.
- 25:31Speaker 2: It's mentality.
- 25:33Speaker 22: That's the only difference of a lion and the elephant.
- 25:38Speaker 22: When the lion walks up and sees an elephant, he
- 25:40Speaker 22: thinks lunch. An elephant, thanks, run, And it's all mentality.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Because when a.
- 25:51Speaker 22: Male lion walks up, he may be out numbered by
- 25:53Speaker 22: a pack of hyenas. But I'm king of my jungle,
- 26:00Speaker 22: all of my mentality.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Uh you know, so have regroup.
- 26:09Speaker 6: Like I said, next season starts right now, and uh you.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Know, come back next season.
- 26:14Speaker 16: How much harder will you work in this off season
- 26:16Speaker 16: now to get back to the championship.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Uh, I'll push myself to acknowledgement. Everyone does a few reps.
- 26:25Speaker 23: When the burns starts and they stop, no one goes
- 26:28Speaker 23: the extra model.
- 26:29Speaker 2: It keeps going like no one's been here right now?
- 26:32Speaker 2: Why cause this Saturday evening and was one forty. No
- 26:35Speaker 2: one's in here. It's me, you know.
- 26:37Speaker 23: No one goes the extra made the thing about traffic jams, Guys.
- 26:42Speaker 2: There are no traffic jams in the last model of this.
- 26:46Speaker 2: It's just you and the shadow.
- 26:49Speaker 23: In the beginning, everybody's there, all the pretenders and the contenders.
- 26:54Speaker 23: They're all there for the last yard of life, last
- 27:00Speaker 23: mile a journey.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Hey, nobody but you in the shadow. Trapping jams don't
- 27:05Speaker 2: exist that far? Does everyone else start giving up?
- 27:08Speaker 23: That's what I like too, the mental concept.
- 27:11Speaker 2: I'm going far.
- 27:11Speaker 23: I love the physical high of the burn being released.
- 27:15Speaker 23: I love the mental high that has improved myself. I
- 27:18Speaker 23: love the mentality that I'm beating my competitors silently.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Well, they don't even know it.
- 27:23Speaker 23: They're out partying. I'm out here getting ahead.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Yeah, Vinci fucking man. Yeah.
- 27:32Speaker 13: And one of the things I recommend to young people,
- 27:34Speaker 13: especially true for people in your twenties, is that you
- 27:37Speaker 13: should push yourself beyond your limits of tolerance in your
- 27:40Speaker 13: twenties to find out where it is how much can
- 27:43Speaker 13: you work? How discipline can you become? Like can you
- 27:46Speaker 13: work twelve hours a day? Can you work eight hours
- 27:48Speaker 13: a day? Can you work three hours a day?
- 27:49Speaker 6: Like?
- 27:50Speaker 2: Flat out, where's your limit? And how much? How much
- 27:53Speaker 2: work can you do?
- 27:54Speaker 13: And how much socialization?
- 27:56Speaker 2: You should find out push yourself.
- 27:58Speaker 13: Past and then back off to that point where it's
- 28:00Speaker 13: optimally sustainable.
- 28:02Speaker 2: It's good to think about that as a goal.
- 28:04Speaker 13: It's like you're trying to discover what your limitations are
- 28:06Speaker 13: when you're when you're in your twenties, so that you
- 28:08Speaker 13: can hit that edge, so that you can sustain yourself
- 28:11Speaker 13: across the decades.
- 28:12Speaker 2: And so Yeah, because you don't you don't.
- 28:14Speaker 13: Want to don't want to have too much fun, right,
- 28:17Speaker 13: too much fun takes you out. You don't want to
- 28:19Speaker 13: be the oldest guy at the disco. You know, it's
- 28:21Speaker 13: not it's not fun being the forty year old at
- 28:23Speaker 13: the singles bar, precisely. So you want to make sure
- 28:27Speaker 13: that what you're doing is age appropriate, and you want
- 28:29Speaker 13: to push yourself in every direction that you can, but
- 28:31Speaker 13: you should be doing that with an aim in minds,
- 28:33Speaker 13: like you're trying to make yourself and do a better
- 28:35Speaker 13: and more competent person. And so some discipline along with
- 28:38Speaker 13: the fund is a good idea.
- 28:40Speaker 6: No, you're you're you're out running on a track, working out,
- 28:44Speaker 6: and you start talking to yourself saying, man, my knee
- 28:47Speaker 6: is really sowre right now, maybe I'm maybe I'm doing
- 28:51Speaker 6: too much, may need to back off, you know, Man,
- 28:55Speaker 6: my lungs are burning, and maybe I can just slow
- 28:58Speaker 6: down here.
- 28:58Speaker 2: I'll do like an extra two sets tomorrow.
- 29:01Speaker 6: You know it'll be okay, right that sort of stuff, yes,
- 29:04Speaker 6: Like that stuff's dangerous and that's you just got to say,
- 29:07Speaker 6: you know what, I'm not negotiating this and the deal
- 29:10Speaker 6: was already made. Deal with me when I set out
- 29:13Speaker 6: at the beginning of the summer and said this is
- 29:14Speaker 6: the training plan I was doing.
- 29:16Speaker 2: I signed that contract with myself. I'm doing you.
- 29:20Speaker 6: Know, throughout that process you'll start talking yourself like, man,
- 29:23Speaker 6: I gotta I think I need to maybe if we know.
- 29:28Speaker 2: It was not negotiait. Yeah, the bike got easier. I
- 29:33Speaker 2: was able to run more.
- 29:34Speaker 1: I went from like one mile one mile is a
- 29:37Speaker 1: great accomplishment, two miles and then from two to three
- 29:40Speaker 1: was a big magin. I went from three to six
- 29:43Speaker 1: and then like they have a warning order that they
- 29:45Speaker 1: get people to get ready for butts. And the whole
- 29:47Speaker 1: thing was running six miles five days a week, and
- 29:50Speaker 1: that was my goal. And so I just kept I failed,
- 29:54Speaker 1: I'll go back to scratch. I use some positive motivation.
- 29:58Speaker 1: I have, like one day I'd like fucking defeat. But
- 30:00Speaker 1: I started realizing this is part of the process. That's
- 30:02Speaker 1: the part of the journey. I had to realize this
- 30:04Speaker 1: is part of my process versus just saying like I
- 30:07Speaker 1: used to, I'm just not good enough. If I'm not
- 30:09Speaker 1: good enough, we always say that shit, I must not
- 30:11Speaker 1: good enough, and then me try something else. I'm gonna
- 30:13Speaker 1: fucking make myself good enough. And that became my mentality.
- 30:16Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna make myself good enough. And so I'm
- 30:20Speaker 1: misunderstood a lot, but That's all it came down to.
- 30:24Speaker 1: I made myself good enough, and the days I couldn't
- 30:27Speaker 1: run that far, the next week I would do two
- 30:30Speaker 1: with days. So on the running, if I ran a
- 30:34Speaker 1: quarter a mile, I wait a fucking a couple of hours.
- 30:37Speaker 2: It haunted me. Bother me. I try to run a
- 30:39Speaker 2: half a mile the next time, same day. You can
- 30:42Speaker 2: do more than this. If I had to walk, I
- 30:43Speaker 2: had to walk.
- 30:44Speaker 1: It just became just a process of grinding and grinding
- 30:47Speaker 1: and grindings not.
- 30:48Speaker 2: Even a good word for it.
- 30:49Speaker 1: It's not even a good word for it, and just
- 30:53Speaker 1: just going further and further.
- 30:54Speaker 2: And then when I got through running, I go through
- 30:56Speaker 2: the bike. I go to the pool.
- 30:58Speaker 1: If I got tired somewhere my lads were tired, I
- 31:00Speaker 1: go to the gym. And I developed this crazy workout
- 31:03Speaker 1: where I was doing volume, like two three hundred rips
- 31:08Speaker 1: of like very lightweight. People say, you know, how come
- 31:10Speaker 1: you don't have any like loose skin. My workout routine
- 31:13Speaker 1: in the gym became sick.
- 31:16Speaker 11: But I remember we were playing against the Lakers time
- 31:18Speaker 11: and we're out here in LA and you know, like
- 31:22Speaker 11: I always try to outwork people, right, That's just how
- 31:24Speaker 11: I made my mark.
- 31:25Speaker 2: So the game was at seven.
- 31:27Speaker 11: It's like, you know what, I'm going to come to
- 31:28Speaker 11: the Stables Center because we're playing. This is when the
- 31:30Speaker 11: Lakers had Kobe in shock. Okay, this is this is
- 31:33Speaker 11: like the championship Lakers. So I mean, I'm gonna get
- 31:35Speaker 11: there at three o'clock. I want to make sure I
- 31:37Speaker 11: make four hundred maid shots before I go back into
- 31:40Speaker 11: the room.
- 31:41Speaker 2: And then I say, in this on and I get
- 31:42Speaker 2: ready for the.
- 31:42Speaker 11: Gig, so, you know, get in the car, get to
- 31:46Speaker 11: the gym, get there. And as I'm walking onto the court,
- 31:49Speaker 11: who do I say? I see Kobe Bryant already work now.
- 31:53Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, it's kind of cool. It's Kobe.
- 31:56Speaker 2: It's up Kobe, you know. And uh, you know.
- 31:59Speaker 11: So I put my sneakers on, and you ever get
- 32:01Speaker 11: lost in what you do where you end up like, wait,
- 32:03Speaker 11: it's been an hour and a half.
- 32:05Speaker 2: I'm just I'm here. I'm in it.
- 32:07Speaker 11: So once I set my foot across that line, I
- 32:09Speaker 11: started working out. And so I worked out for a
- 32:11Speaker 11: good hour hour and a half. And when I came off,
- 32:14Speaker 11: after I was done, I sat down, and of course
- 32:17Speaker 11: I still hear the ball bounce. I look down, I'm like,
- 32:19Speaker 11: this guy's this guy's still working out. So he was
- 32:22Speaker 11: working out like it looks like he was in a
- 32:24Speaker 11: dead sweat when I got here, and he's still going
- 32:26Speaker 11: and it's not like his moves are nonchalant or lazy.
- 32:30Speaker 2: He's doing like game moves.
- 32:32Speaker 7: You know.
- 32:33Speaker 11: I sit there and unlaced my shoes. I'm like, oh,
- 32:35Speaker 11: want to see how long this goes? I said, out there,
- 32:37Speaker 11: watch twenty five minutes and he got done. I said, Okay,
- 32:41Speaker 11: I think I've seen it up. Go play, you know,
- 32:43Speaker 11: come back, get in the sauna, get ready for the game.
- 32:45Speaker 11: That game, he drops forty on us. Okay, And after
- 32:49Speaker 11: the game is over, I'm like, I have to ask
- 32:50Speaker 11: this guy, like I have to understand, like why why
- 32:55Speaker 11: he works off that right? So after the games, I'm like, hey, Cobe, like,
- 32:59Speaker 11: why were you in Jim for so long? It's like
- 33:01Speaker 11: because I saw you come in and I wanted you
- 33:05Speaker 11: to know that it doesn't matter how hard you work,
- 33:08Speaker 11: that I'm willing to work harder than you.
- 33:10Speaker 24: Wow, I'm able to just extract dopamine, the good dopamine
- 33:23Speaker 24: whenever I want.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Man, I've trained ninety nine percent of my life alone.
- 33:31Speaker 1: No one had me on the back.
- 33:33Speaker 2: I did all of the work alone.
- 33:37Speaker 1: And while I'm still hard on myself, I know what
- 33:40Speaker 1: I did. So whenever times get bad, people.
- 33:43Speaker 2: All this, who's your carry of the boats? And look,
- 33:46Speaker 2: that's real.
- 33:47Speaker 1: I hate that people know me for that guy, because
- 33:51Speaker 1: that guy is not every fucking day like when they
- 33:53Speaker 1: see me, they want that energy that's.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Not me every day. I can extract it immediately when
- 33:59Speaker 2: I need you. Because when you.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Train alone, and I lived alone for so many years
- 34:04Speaker 1: in this misery, and you're able to get out by yourself,
- 34:08Speaker 1: I can take myself to such a level of real,
- 34:11Speaker 1: real passion and purpose and like, the feeling I get
- 34:16Speaker 1: is something I can't even explain by myself.
- 34:18Speaker 2: I don't need anyone why.
- 34:20Speaker 1: That's why people come to me to motivate them. No
- 34:23Speaker 1: one can motivate me.
- 34:25Speaker 25: The bottom line is, no one's coming, no one. No
- 34:31Speaker 25: one's coming to push you. No one's coming to tell
- 34:33Speaker 25: you to turn the TV off. No one's coming to
- 34:36Speaker 25: tell you to get out the door and exercise. Nobody's
- 34:39Speaker 25: coming to tell you to apply for that job that
- 34:42Speaker 25: you've always dreamt about. Nobody's coming to write a business
- 34:45Speaker 25: plan for you.
- 34:46Speaker 2: It's up to you.
- 34:48Speaker 25: And because you're only ever going to do the things
- 34:51Speaker 25: that you feel like doing right now or that feel
- 34:54Speaker 25: good right now, unless you understand that you've got to
- 35:00Speaker 25: parrot yourself. You gotta push yourself. You're not gonna make
- 35:03Speaker 25: your dreams come true.
- 35:04Speaker 2: You're just not.
- 35:05Speaker 25: We're not wired that way. You weren't born that way.
- 35:08Speaker 25: You weren't that way when you were growing up, and
- 35:10Speaker 25: you're certainly not that way as an adult.
- 35:12Speaker 2: I did it alone.
- 35:14Speaker 1: There was no fucking trophy on the fucking wall, the mantle,
- 35:17Speaker 1: that trophy in my fucking brain.
- 35:19Speaker 2: No one helped me get. They don't gonna pay my
- 35:20Speaker 2: fucking bills. No one did shit for me. No one
- 35:22Speaker 2: ran was fucking mid West. That fucking look. I suffered
- 35:25Speaker 2: on my own and to built this man who said
- 35:27Speaker 2: that's who I am. Man a very competitive, ultra competitive
- 35:31Speaker 2: due that taking what you want.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Man, the military, you're gonna be the suck of.
- 35:37Speaker 2: That run most of the time, and you're just starting
- 35:40Speaker 2: your points on the way back. I started seeing.
- 35:43Speaker 1: People getting happy and shit because.
- 35:46Speaker 2: The end was near. But there was some asshole instructors
- 35:50Speaker 2: that were here.
- 35:51Speaker 1: The happiness and go right off past the endpoint. When
- 35:55Speaker 1: that happened, everybody stopped talking, heads just stopped dropping, and
- 36:00Speaker 1: I start taking fucking souls.
- 36:03Speaker 2: At that time, I knew what happened in their minds.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Man, They were living up the hope factors. They hope
- 36:09Speaker 1: the instructions will stop running.
- 36:11Speaker 2: They hope the water was never cold, they hope the
- 36:14Speaker 2: weather was fucking good. I don't live up that hope shit.
- 36:18Speaker 2: I wish the water was cold. I wish the motherfucking
- 36:21Speaker 2: instructions keep off fucking running. I wish the fucking way.
- 36:25Speaker 1: But the idiot is unknown, and the distance is unknown.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Not you know who the fuck you are, stay hard.
- 36:33Speaker 26: But all these things that people are trying very hard
- 36:36Speaker 26: to get rid of it from their brains, I don't
- 36:39Speaker 26: see why they need to leave. I will argue the
- 36:41Speaker 26: point that if I feel anxious and pressured and stressed
- 36:44Speaker 26: and fearful, I will get more.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Done than if I was happy.
- 36:47Speaker 26: I think if I was happy, I'll just be heading
- 36:49Speaker 26: a stick and just wasting my time. I think that
- 36:50Speaker 26: you get a whole bunch done with these negative connotations
- 36:53Speaker 26: and negative emotions, and I think that life is suffering
- 36:55Speaker 26: and pain, and you're here to go through it and
- 36:57Speaker 26: you're and that sooner you get used to the taste,
- 37:00Speaker 26: the more successful you're going to be. I have no
- 37:01Speaker 26: interest in trying to change the flavor of my friend.
- 37:03Speaker 2: The flavor of life is pain, and I will eat
- 37:06Speaker 2: all of it.
- 37:06Speaker 26: And it doesn't matter if they put me back in
- 37:07Speaker 26: jail or not. I'm not sitting there going how can
- 37:10Speaker 26: I be happy in jail.
- 37:11Speaker 2: I will sit in jail and say, yes, this sucks.
- 37:12Speaker 2: It's supposed to suck. Yes, I'm not enjoying this.
- 37:15Speaker 26: Yes I'm anxious and paranoid, and yes that guy might
- 37:17Speaker 26: stab me, and yes I can't sleep and I miss
- 37:18Speaker 26: my family. And this is what's supposed to happen to me.
- 37:20Speaker 26: And this is how I become the best man I
- 37:21Speaker 26: can possibly be. And I'm going to succeed regard.
- 37:25Speaker 1: And when I was in going through Navy seal Trainer's
- 37:28Speaker 1: one thing I told myself I wanted to quit every
- 37:31Speaker 1: single day. But many dreams die while suffering, and many
- 37:37Speaker 1: of us out here have suffered. And when you're suffering,
- 37:40Speaker 1: I'm not talking about this physically. I talked about emotionally. Spiritually.
- 37:44Speaker 1: It could be a relationship when you're suffering you give
- 37:48Speaker 1: up on the very things that you wanted the most.
- 37:52Speaker 1: When I was going through Pair of Rescue, I wanted
- 37:54Speaker 1: to be a pair of rescuement so bad, but that
- 37:57Speaker 1: water haunted me. So when the suffering got too much,
- 38:02Speaker 1: my dream died, and pretty.
- 38:05Speaker 2: Much I almost died with it.
- 38:07Speaker 1: If I didn't find navy seals and getting past that
- 38:11Speaker 1: hump and overcoming my demons and facing my demons every day,
- 38:15Speaker 1: I would have never been up here today. You can't
- 38:18Speaker 1: outrun your demons. They'll always know where you're hiding. Trust
- 38:23Speaker 1: me at that, And I'm in with this. Don't stop
- 38:27Speaker 1: when you're tired, stop when you're done. I want to
- 38:30Speaker 1: see that guy who immersed himself in fucking hell and
- 38:35Speaker 1: he thought about quitting and leaving and his wife and
- 38:38Speaker 1: his kids, And why am I here?
- 38:39Speaker 2: Is Is it worth it? All this crazy shit is
- 38:43Speaker 2: still said. I found out a way to get through it.
- 38:47Speaker 2: So basically, that's the bottom line of it all.
- 38:51Speaker 1: We all want to read about how we can quickly
- 38:54Speaker 1: get somewhere. That's why they're six minute abs and all
- 38:56Speaker 1: sort of shits so powerful you make it some results
- 39:00Speaker 1: from it, They're not permanent. The permanent result comes from
- 39:04Speaker 1: you fucking I say it all the time. You have
- 39:07Speaker 1: to suffering. You have to make that a tattoo on
- 39:12Speaker 1: your fucking brain. So when that hard time comes again,
- 39:16Speaker 1: you don't forget it. You may forget it for a second,
- 39:19Speaker 1: but you can go back in the cookie jar.
- 39:21Speaker 2: I call it. It's a it's something that we've all endured.
- 39:24Speaker 2: I call it the cookie jar, and we often forget
- 39:26Speaker 2: how hard we are.
- 39:28Speaker 1: But you gotta reflect back, take a couple of sad
- 39:30Speaker 1: reflect I've been through this, I've been through that, and
- 39:32Speaker 1: then remind yourself I'm a bad motherfucker, and then you
- 39:36Speaker 1: can get through that shit. But if you don't believe
- 39:38Speaker 1: it you have it endured shit, you're just blowing smoke, man,
- 39:43Speaker 1: and you're not gonna get through anything.
- 39:44Speaker 2: But my experience so far as being that.
- 39:49Speaker 13: When you see people bear their suffering, no believe there's
- 39:53Speaker 13: nothing in that but good, that's something.
- 39:57Speaker 2: And then when you.
- 39:58Speaker 13: See people take on more responsibility and decide that they're
- 40:01Speaker 13: going to aim up and confront their suffering honestly and forthrightly,
- 40:07Speaker 13: that their lives get better and the lives of people
- 40:09Speaker 13: around them get better too. And so that's very strange
- 40:14Speaker 13: as well. Because it also means that the pathway to
- 40:17Speaker 13: less suffering is through suffering, right, And that's kind of
- 40:22Speaker 13: that would be hopeful if the world was constituted that way.
- 40:25Speaker 13: It's like, well, they're suffering, how do you make it worse?
- 40:28Speaker 13: Run away? How do you make it better? Confront it? Yeah,
- 40:32Speaker 13: but it's suffering. It's like, yeah, but it's there, there,
- 40:36Speaker 13: it is, it's right there. It's a precondition for existence
- 40:39Speaker 13: or something like that. And it's like, you have something
- 40:41Speaker 13: important to do as well, and you confront it, and
- 40:44Speaker 13: that's the pathway to transcending it.
- 40:53Speaker 12: Like I promise you, every single person who wants to
- 40:56Speaker 12: do something with their life and has done something with
- 40:58Speaker 12: their life has gone through the exact chapter that you're
- 41:01Speaker 12: going through.
- 41:02Speaker 2: And it's the lonely chapter.
- 41:03Speaker 12: It's the chapter where you don't fit in with your
- 41:06Speaker 12: own friends, but you don't have the outcomes yet to
- 41:08Speaker 12: fit into a new group of friends.
- 41:10Speaker 2: And you're doing this thing. You're consuming content on the internet.
- 41:12Speaker 12: You're doing these fruit tutorials online to try and figure
- 41:15Speaker 12: out how to set up a podcast and where do
- 41:16Speaker 12: I host this thing? And then and you're going through
- 41:19Speaker 12: this and you're like, am I is this even worth
- 41:21Speaker 12: it because you have no signs of success. Right But
- 41:24Speaker 12: if there's anything that you can take away from what
- 41:25Speaker 12: we're saying right now, is that the sign of success
- 41:28Speaker 12: is the hate that you get along the way. And
- 41:31Speaker 12: what you can't do is bend the knee to their
- 41:33Speaker 12: hate and fit back into the conforming because it's comfortable
- 41:36Speaker 12: and it's warm. Because like in the Matrix, when Trinity
- 41:40Speaker 12: opens the door when Neil's about to go take the
- 41:42Speaker 12: red Pill and he wants to get out of the car,
- 41:44Speaker 12: she says, Neil, You've been down that road and you
- 41:47Speaker 12: know exactly where it leads, and I know that's not
- 41:49Speaker 12: where you want to be, and then he closes the door,
- 41:53Speaker 12: Like right now, this moment that you're going through is
- 41:56Speaker 12: Trinity opening the door and being like, you could go back,
- 41:59Speaker 12: but then you'd have to remember exactly what the reason
- 42:01Speaker 12: was that you decided not to go out to begin with.
- 42:03Speaker 12: Just because you've listened to this podcast and you consume
- 42:05Speaker 12: this concent you're like, I can fucking do more than this,
- 42:07Speaker 12: Like because you are starting to live in some of
- 42:09Speaker 12: that hell where you look in the mirror and you're like,
- 42:11Speaker 12: I can do more, and you start to see the
- 42:12Speaker 12: person that you could be, and you're like, this does
- 42:14Speaker 12: start to feel like hell.
- 42:16Speaker 1: So whenever sick gets nasty, David Gagnas goes, you had
- 42:21Speaker 1: nobody anyway, motherfucker. So see how I'm talking myself for now,
- 42:24Speaker 1: that's me. That shit fires me the fuck up. That
- 42:29Speaker 1: shit makes me fucking nuts.
- 42:30Speaker 2: You had nobody anyway, motherfucker. Look around you. There was
- 42:34Speaker 2: no fucking team. There was you.
- 42:37Speaker 1: There was no weight loss programmer, mom and dad waking
- 42:40Speaker 1: you up, saying you can do it, you can be better,
- 42:42Speaker 1: trying to build belief. You build belief when you had
- 42:46Speaker 1: nothing rock bottom.
- 42:49Speaker 2: You did that. So as times get hard for me,
- 42:54Speaker 2: the truth comes out.
- 42:56Speaker 1: And my truth is powerful as fuck, it's real, it's handible,
- 43:03Speaker 1: it comes out of my brain as I speak about it.
- 43:05Speaker 1: I'm reliving every single dark moment of my life to
- 43:11Speaker 1: be here.
- 43:13Speaker 2: So that is what people don't get.
- 43:16Speaker 1: That is what motivates David Goggins is the unseen work.
- 43:19Speaker 2: But everybody needs that path on the back.
- 43:23Speaker 1: They need that training partner, they need that accountability coach.
- 43:27Speaker 1: Oh yeah shit, and need to do they But it's
- 43:30Speaker 1: what we've trained ourselves to believe that we need.
- 43:34Speaker 2: If you want to be great, You want to be
- 43:36Speaker 2: a bad motherfucker.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Ever at what you do, you can be misunderstood by
- 43:41Speaker 1: everybody because you're gonna be so fucking obsessed and so
- 43:45Speaker 1: driven to get there.
- 43:45Speaker 2: And that's what it takes, That's the truth. It takes
- 43:47Speaker 2: every second of your fucking life.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Anybody says balance, Yeah, balance is important for a lot
- 43:52Speaker 1: of fucking people.
- 43:53Speaker 2: It is.
- 43:53Speaker 1: But if you want to fucking go to that edge
- 43:55Speaker 1: where people do not like you, don't understand you question
- 43:58Speaker 1: everything you fucking do. You've arrived when you are misunderstood
- 44:03Speaker 1: to the point where fucking people think you're psycho and
- 44:05Speaker 1: you're nuts, and you're this and that. Why are you
- 44:07Speaker 1: in the fucking gym at one o'clock in the fucking morning.
- 44:09Speaker 1: He's got to doing an ah for fucking thirteen fourteen
- 44:13Speaker 1: hours after ranger school man at the gym?
- 44:16Speaker 2: What was wrong? You will never understand what is wrong
- 44:20Speaker 2: with me?
- 44:21Speaker 1: And that's why I'm so fucking glad you don't, because
- 44:24Speaker 1: I'm in the right fucking spot. When people don't understand
- 44:27Speaker 1: you anymore. You're in that spot of obsession and drive
- 44:32Speaker 1: where people are like, what the fuck is wrong with
- 44:33Speaker 1: this guy? I don't want to talk to you, man,
- 44:35Speaker 1: because you're not gonna get it. You're not gonna get it.
- 44:39Speaker 1: Boom that wants you to get it, Yeah, don want
- 44:41Speaker 1: you to get it.
- 44:43Speaker 2: People only root for people who don't need it.
- 44:47Speaker 12: Like the amount of times when I was on my
- 44:51Speaker 12: lonely path where I was too different from the friends
- 44:54Speaker 12: that I had, but not successful enough to be friends
- 44:57Speaker 12: with the people that I wanted to be friends with.
- 45:03Speaker 12: That's when you want people to root for you. That's
- 45:06Speaker 12: when you want people to support you once you've already won.
- 45:10Speaker 12: People are like, he's amazing, He's so good, But like,
- 45:13Speaker 12: that's the time when you need it the least.
- 45:16Speaker 7: And so.
- 45:18Speaker 12: You always have to be the person who roots for
- 45:20Speaker 12: you before everyone else does. And it's usually a single
- 45:24Speaker 12: clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time.
- 45:29Speaker 12: It is a slow clap that's just you rooting for you.
- 45:35Speaker 12: And that visual, I think is one that you can
- 45:37Speaker 12: kind of take because it is People struggle to do
- 45:42Speaker 12: things a lot, and the path of the exceptional person
- 45:48Speaker 12: is one of an exception, which means that you are
- 45:50Speaker 12: not with other people, and rather than fighting that or
- 45:55Speaker 12: bemoaning it, see it as an indicator that you're on
- 45:59Speaker 12: the right path, because if everyone else were cheering you on,
- 46:03Speaker 12: then it means you're not in the right place, because
- 46:05Speaker 12: it means you're just like everyone else, and that's not
- 46:06Speaker 12: where you want to be.
- 46:08Speaker 2: The one thing that made me who I am today
- 46:10Speaker 2: is being vulnerable.
- 46:11Speaker 1: It's breaking myself down to that absolute rock bottom and
- 46:16Speaker 1: being able to tell people who I am.
- 46:19Speaker 2: And that's how I fixed it. Literally, you know, life
- 46:23Speaker 2: created this person me.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Life created me to be this fucked up person that
- 46:28Speaker 1: was back in the day, and I had to realize, Man,
- 46:31Speaker 1: that's okay, man, it's not my fault. Now you're gonna
- 46:33Speaker 1: go back and fix this shit though, So a lot
- 46:36Speaker 1: of this isn't your fault. Why you do some things
- 46:39Speaker 1: you do, why you feel the way you feel, But
- 46:41Speaker 1: no one's coming back to save your ass.
- 46:43Speaker 2: You have to go back to where this shit started.
- 46:46Speaker 1: Whoever that place is for everybody, and had the courage
- 46:49Speaker 1: to go back there and start fixing what broke you broke.
- 47:03Speaker 2: It's funny, man, people want to know how I'm always motivated.
- 47:06Speaker 2: It's the unseen work.
- 47:08Speaker 1: I'm out running at two o'clock in the morning, one
- 47:10Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning in the gym, long sessions by myself.
- 47:14Speaker 2: That's real. I'm able to extract dopamine, the good dopamine,
- 47:19Speaker 2: and eever I want.
- 47:20Speaker 1: Man, I've trained ninety nine percent of my life alone.
- 47:26Speaker 2: No one pat me on the back.
- 47:28Speaker 1: I did all of the work alone. While I'm still
- 47:32Speaker 1: hard on myself, I know what I did. So whenever
- 47:36Speaker 1: times get bad, all this who's your carry of the boats?
- 47:38Speaker 2: Look, that's real. I can extract it immediately when I
- 47:42Speaker 2: need you.
- 47:42Speaker 1: Because I lived alone for so many years in this misery,
- 47:46Speaker 1: and you're able to get out by yourself. I can
- 47:49Speaker 1: take myself to such a level of real, real passion
- 47:52Speaker 1: and purpose and like the feeling I get is something
- 47:56Speaker 1: I can't even expect by myself.
- 47:57Speaker 2: I don't need anyone. That's why.
- 47:59Speaker 1: That's why people come to me to motivate them. No
- 48:02Speaker 1: one can motivate me. I have a resume full of
- 48:05Speaker 1: fucking motivation that whenever I'm down like, oh, hang on, motherfucker.
- 48:10Speaker 2: Oh you know you know the truth. You know that
- 48:13Speaker 2: you you know the darkness of the fucking dungeons and.
- 48:15Speaker 1: The fucking demons that fly, you know, And then from
- 48:18Speaker 1: there it's like, okay, you were there.
- 48:21Speaker 2: You know this, There was no one there to.
- 48:23Speaker 1: Pick up the rucksack, to pick up the boat, to
- 48:25Speaker 1: pick up the log, to go that It was you.
- 48:28Speaker 7: It was you.
- 48:28Speaker 2: There wasn't no.
- 48:29Speaker 1: Pattern the fucking back at three hundred and at two
- 48:31Speaker 1: seventy five, two fifty, No, that was you. So those
- 48:36Speaker 1: things that come out of me, that extract from me
- 48:38Speaker 1: in the darkness, people are.
- 48:40Speaker 2: Looking for that pound the back. Where is it? Oh?
- 48:44Speaker 1: I don't need it because what I've done is in
- 48:48Speaker 1: the fucking unseen work I've built Frankenstarn. So whenever shit
- 48:54Speaker 1: gets nasty, David Goddess goes. We had nobody anyway, motherfucker.
- 48:59Speaker 2: So see how tall myself or now that's me. That
- 49:01Speaker 2: shit fires me to fuck up, That shit makes me
- 49:04Speaker 2: fucking nuts. You had nobody anyway, motherfucker. Look around you.
- 49:08Speaker 2: There was no fucking team. It was you.
- 49:12Speaker 1: There was no weight loss programmer, Mom and Dad waking
- 49:14Speaker 1: you up, saying you can do it, you can be better.
- 49:17Speaker 2: Trying to build belief. You build belief when you had
- 49:20Speaker 2: nothing rock bottom. You did that.
- 49:24Speaker 1: So as times get hard for me, the truth comes out,
- 49:29Speaker 1: and my truth is powerful as a fuck. It's real,
- 49:33Speaker 1: it's tangible. I feel it. It comes out of my
- 49:37Speaker 1: brain as I speak about it. I'm reliving every single
- 49:41Speaker 1: dark moment of my life to be here.
- 49:44Speaker 2: So that is what people don't get. That is what
- 49:48Speaker 2: motivates David Goggins. It's the unseen work.
- 49:50Speaker 1: Everybody needs that pat on the back, They need that
- 49:54Speaker 1: training partner, they need that accountability coach.
- 49:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that shit, they need to do that.
- 50:00Speaker 1: It's what we've trained ourselves to believe that we need that.
- 50:04Speaker 1: There's no fucking hack, bro, there's no fucking hack. Yeah
- 50:08Speaker 1: you made this and that and saunas and all this
- 50:11Speaker 1: shit that they Yeah, it's great.
- 50:14Speaker 2: There is no fucking life hack to grow that thing.
- 50:18Speaker 2: How do you grow it? Do it and do it
- 50:22Speaker 2: and do it and do it. That's the hack. The
- 50:25Speaker 2: hack is gonna fucking suck.
- 50:27Speaker 1: And that's what I realized. That's what I realized life.
- 50:31Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to come on here today. I
- 50:32Speaker 1: didn't wanna come on here on top about no fucking
- 50:34Speaker 1: passion and purpose and how to get the fuck out
- 50:37Speaker 1: of bed, how to hit a fucking alarm clock and
- 50:40Speaker 1: all this catchphrase bullshit, because that wasn't how I lived,
- 50:45Speaker 1: but how I lived I lived.
- 50:46Speaker 2: I woke up like every human being does and goes, fuck, man,
- 50:49Speaker 2: I'm a fucking piece of shit today. How the hell
- 50:51Speaker 2: is this gonna work out for me? And you fight that,
- 50:54Speaker 2: and you fight that, you don't override it. It's no
- 50:57Speaker 2: overriding button. It's the conversation in your fucking in your head.
- 51:01Speaker 2: So how you do that?
- 51:03Speaker 1: We don't have enough of these conversations about the real
- 51:05Speaker 1: conversation that every human being is.
- 51:08Speaker 2: Having and they have no idea how to get out
- 51:10Speaker 2: of it, but they do. It's that shit right there. Man.
- 51:14Speaker 2: You gotta build your will.
- 51:16Speaker 1: So now you know why there's so many people that
- 51:18Speaker 1: fail in this world to figure out their purpose, their
- 51:23Speaker 1: purpose and life.
- 51:23Speaker 2: Where do I go? Because to grow that don't look fun,
- 51:30Speaker 2: don't look fun. So it's a choice that people have
- 51:33Speaker 2: to make in life.
- 51:36Speaker 27: Talk about performance without a purpose?
- 51:38Speaker 2: What's up?
- 51:39Speaker 1: So, for instance, let's say you have no races, Let's
- 51:43Speaker 1: say you have no classes, no nothing, you have there's no.
- 51:46Speaker 2: Purpose in your life.
- 51:48Speaker 1: You know, people need to have purpose to get up,
- 51:50Speaker 1: they need purpose to perform.
- 51:52Speaker 2: You need to get to a point.
- 51:53Speaker 1: In your life where there's nothing on the docket, there's
- 51:57Speaker 1: no five k there's no I'm gonna getting to school
- 52:00Speaker 1: to be this or that is still.
- 52:02Speaker 2: Perform to the highest level.
- 52:05Speaker 1: Because what people don't get is one day that thing
- 52:08Speaker 1: is gonna come up, and if you're not constantly performing
- 52:11Speaker 1: without purpose.
- 52:13Speaker 2: You're not gonna be ready when the time comes.
- 52:16Speaker 1: It's this magical thing purpose that we're all looking for.
- 52:19Speaker 1: But what's funny about it all is that.
- 52:21Speaker 2: We need these things to perform.
- 52:23Speaker 1: But we don't take a second to realize the purpose
- 52:27Speaker 1: is always there. The purpose never leaves us because the
- 52:31Speaker 1: very purpose is you.
- 52:33Speaker 2: You are always the purpose.
- 52:35Speaker 1: There may be another purpose like being a seal or
- 52:39Speaker 1: going to college or whatever, but the main purpose in
- 52:41Speaker 1: life is you. So if you wake up in the
- 52:44Speaker 1: morning and you don't want to do something, you don't
- 52:47Speaker 1: care enough about yourself, and that's what you need to
- 52:50Speaker 1: really research, is Man, why am I not doing this
- 52:54Speaker 1: for myself? Because that is the number one purpose in
- 52:57Speaker 1: life is to better once.
- 53:00Speaker 2: So that's the only purpose I fucking need. So the
- 53:03Speaker 2: reason I get every.
- 53:04Speaker 1: Day you know, there's no racist, there's no school, there's
- 53:07Speaker 1: nothing in front of me.
- 53:08Speaker 2: Is because I have pride in myself.
- 53:11Speaker 27: Well, when do you go to you wake up on
- 53:13Speaker 27: the morning, or it's cold, it's wet, it's dark, you've
- 53:16Speaker 27: got no cottilage in your knave, you've got shitty shorts,
- 53:20Speaker 27: whatever it is, that's the issue today. It's warm on
- 53:21Speaker 27: the couch, you miss say staying bad. It's comfy, that's cozy.
- 53:26Speaker 27: You've got work later on. You had an argument last night.
- 53:28Speaker 27: You're slight young over.
- 53:29Speaker 2: Can I know every motherfucker I ain't gonna do. I'm
- 53:32Speaker 2: gonna do. So this is how you level loone. That's
- 53:35Speaker 2: how you level loone.
- 53:36Speaker 1: I know there's a whole bunch of people with that
- 53:39Speaker 1: right there that fires me up, That makes me fucking
- 53:43Speaker 1: happy with you just said. That brings Jordan in my
- 53:46Speaker 1: life right there, because I know there's so.
- 53:48Speaker 2: Many people that have the.
- 53:49Speaker 1: Ability and just refuse to get off that couch, refuse
- 53:55Speaker 1: to study a few more hours, refuse to go deeper.
- 53:58Speaker 2: You go further, and that that's where I gained the advantage.
- 54:03Speaker 2: It's so easy to.
- 54:04Speaker 1: Be great nowadays, my friend, because most people are weak.
- 54:07Speaker 1: Most people don't want to go to that extra mile.
- 54:09Speaker 1: Most people don't want to find that extra because it sucks,
- 54:12Speaker 1: it's miserable, it's lonely.
- 54:14Speaker 2: You talk about that you were kind of, you know,
- 54:17Speaker 2: lonely by yourself. I was the same way and that
- 54:22Speaker 2: used to hurt me growing up.
- 54:24Speaker 1: Now I fucking thrive and that shit, that's the only
- 54:27Speaker 1: place to be a lot of people, you know, wonder.
- 54:31Speaker 2: How did you become this? How you become so vulnerable?
- 54:34Speaker 2: How how are you doing a podcast now?
- 54:36Speaker 1: When you were this kid, you overcame things, you fought them,
- 54:41Speaker 1: and now this is what happens. This is on the
- 54:43Speaker 1: other side of overcoming, it becomes you become very, very
- 54:48Speaker 1: powerful when you overcome yourself.
- 54:50Speaker 27: Let's say that someone listening who resonates with what you're
- 54:53Speaker 27: talking about. You know, they've been through trauma, they've been
- 54:56Speaker 27: through hord times, but they keep breaking promises to themselves
- 54:59Speaker 27: and that's struggle to get off the couch and the
- 55:01Speaker 27: having a pity party. How can they stop feeling sorry
- 55:04Speaker 27: for themselves?
- 55:05Speaker 1: That's a difficult one because you have to want it,
- 55:09Speaker 1: You have to want to be better, and it starts
- 55:12Speaker 1: off with you have to have pride in yourself. You
- 55:15Speaker 1: you have to have pride of yourself.
- 55:17Speaker 2: You have to have there's something about you, whether it's
- 55:19Speaker 2: your last name, whether it's just.
- 55:22Speaker 1: The smallest thing. You have to be proud of yourself.
- 55:25Speaker 1: And if you have no pride of yourself, I can't give.
- 55:28Speaker 27: It to you because you're always going to compromise, You're always.
- 55:30Speaker 2: Going to volt always. I'm very proud of us. That's
- 55:32Speaker 2: why when people said.
- 55:34Speaker 1: You know what you can do better than can't hurt Roger,
- 55:38Speaker 1: Dad will fucking see.
- 55:40Speaker 2: It's that pride that wakes you up.
- 55:42Speaker 1: Now that it's about bad pride, the attention to detail
- 55:46Speaker 1: for the human being I want to do.
- 55:48Speaker 2: I call this think like I want to be the standard.
- 55:51Speaker 2: Every place I went to.
- 55:53Speaker 1: The military, there was this ethos about how this place is,
- 55:57Speaker 1: how we're going to live, how we're going to represent ourselves.
- 56:01Speaker 2: And I walked around and I saw that most people
- 56:05Speaker 2: didn't live up to that ethos.
- 56:07Speaker 1: Like if you go to whatever company, they had this
- 56:11Speaker 1: mission statement on how we want to run our company.
- 56:15Speaker 2: I may want for myself on how I want to be.
- 56:18Speaker 1: And that is why if people can make up a
- 56:22Speaker 1: mission statement and ethos and which they want to live by,
- 56:26Speaker 1: and every morning you wake up, you hold yourself accountable
- 56:29Speaker 1: to that mission not a company.
- 56:31Speaker 2: As your own.
- 56:32Speaker 1: Make up your own mission statement. What do you want
- 56:35Speaker 1: to be in life. And once you do that, now
- 56:38Speaker 1: you can work with somebody to get better. You can
- 56:41Speaker 1: work with yourself to get better. But until you know
- 56:44Speaker 1: what you want to stand.
- 56:45Speaker 2: For, you will always just be sitting down. You'll never
- 56:49Speaker 2: stand for anything. The most powerful weapon in.
- 56:53Speaker 1: The world we walk around with it so mine, so
- 56:58Speaker 1: brain able to go into a very dark place in
- 57:02Speaker 1: your mind and figure who you are, go back to
- 57:06Speaker 1: what you want to do, what's your purpose? We can't
- 57:08Speaker 1: figure our purpose out, or why we're here, or why
- 57:11Speaker 1: we're even born or whatever because it's so loud in
- 57:14Speaker 1: our mind. We don't have any quiet time for ourselves
- 57:17Speaker 1: to sit back and say what do I really want?
- 57:19Speaker 1: There's so many different dialogues in our head that we
- 57:22Speaker 1: can't think. So my biggest thing is you have to
- 57:24Speaker 1: be alone in a very dark place in your mind
- 57:28Speaker 1: to think about what is important to you.
- 57:32Speaker 12: Really.
- 57:32Speaker 28: The two things I want to say are got to
- 57:35Speaker 28: be the hardest workers in the room and don't fuck
- 57:39Speaker 28: the opportunity out.
- 57:41Speaker 13: If you investigate what people mean when they say they
- 57:44Speaker 13: want to be happy, they say I just want to
- 57:46Speaker 13: be happy.
- 57:46Speaker 2: It's a very funny phrase, is what do you mean?
- 57:49Speaker 2: Just there isn't anything harder than that. So you can't
- 57:54Speaker 2: just say just I just that's all you want. You
- 57:57Speaker 2: just want to be happy all the time.
- 58:01Speaker 29: Or take the question of worth. It is relying on
- 58:06Speaker 29: an outcome. We don't make these things for an outcome.
- 58:11Speaker 29: It's it's it's not the mindset to make something great.
- 58:17Speaker 29: The outcome happens. You're making the best thing you can make.
- 58:22Speaker 29: It's a it's a devotional practice.
- 58:25Speaker 6: Those times when you get up early and you work hard,
- 58:28Speaker 6: those times when you stay up late and you work hard,
- 58:30Speaker 6: those times when you don't feel like working, you're too tired,
- 58:33Speaker 6: you don't want to push yourself, but you're doing anyway.
- 58:36Speaker 2: That is actually the dream. That's the dream. It's not
- 58:40Speaker 2: the destination. It's the journey.
- 58:43Speaker 6: And if you guys, if you guys can understand that,
- 58:47Speaker 6: then what you'll see happen is that you won't accomplish
- 58:50Speaker 6: your dreams. Your dreams won't come true. Something greater will.
- 58:55Speaker 6: And if you guys can understand that, and I'm doing
- 58:58Speaker 6: my job as a father.
- 58:59Speaker 28: The first I just want to say is this idea
- 59:02Speaker 28: and this notion that you can be anything you want,
- 59:04Speaker 28: you can accomplish anything you want. Right, we hear that.
- 59:07Speaker 28: You've heard that from the time you were little boys.
- 59:10Speaker 2: You hear that.
- 59:10Speaker 28: Now you're already incredibly accomplished. You can win an NBA Championship,
- 59:15Speaker 28: MVP of the league. You could become president, you can
- 59:18Speaker 28: become governor, you can have you could be in and
- 59:23Speaker 28: you could be in entertainment. You could do.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Charles or you could do Shack. You can do that.
- 59:29Speaker 28: You could do whatever you want to do. You guys
- 59:31Speaker 28: know that the thing that has worked for me is
- 59:35Speaker 28: to remember.
- 59:38Speaker 2: The hard times.
- 59:40Speaker 29: Whatever happens after that happens, and that part that happens
- 59:46Speaker 29: after it is completely out of your control. Putting any
- 59:50Speaker 29: energy into that part that's out of your controls wasted time.
- 59:54Speaker 29: All it is. All it does is undermine your work.
- 59:57Speaker 29: Your work is to make the best thing you can,
- 59:59Speaker 29: so any thought you have about outcome undermines the whole thing.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: Fail big, that's right, fail big.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: Today's the beginning of the rest of your life, and
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: it means to be very frightened.
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: It's a world out there. To meet world out there.
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: You only live once, so do what you feel passionate.
- 1:00:24Speaker 30: One of the most important things never ever quit, Never quit.
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: I don't know if it's an ability or if you
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: have it, just you can't quit.
- 1:00:33Speaker 30: And I've seen people quitting and if they would have
- 1:00:38Speaker 30: held out longer, they would have been successful.
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: I've seen it so much.
- 1:00:41Speaker 30: I've seen some of the most brilliant people in the
- 1:00:43Speaker 30: world that never made it because they were quitters.
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: They were just quitters. They would quit.
- 1:00:48Speaker 30: They just couldn't take it, They couldn't whatever. One of
- 1:00:52Speaker 30: the things about loving what you do is that it's
- 1:00:55Speaker 30: not work, and therefore you don't quit automatically.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: It's a lot easier not to quit, but you can
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: never give up.
- 1:01:03Speaker 31: That's the only way you ever get where you want
- 1:01:07Speaker 31: to go. You have to take a path. It's dangerous,
- 1:01:11Speaker 31: and most people want to take the safe path, and
- 1:01:13Speaker 31: the safe path leaves you stuck in quiet desperation almost
- 1:01:18Speaker 31: every time.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: It's hell.
- 1:01:20Speaker 32: The thing is with me is I don't give a fuck.
- 1:01:23Speaker 32: I don't give a fuck. You give a shit when
- 1:01:25Speaker 32: anybody says or what anybody thinks. I have this mindset.
- 1:01:29Speaker 32: I know exactly who the fuck I am. I have
- 1:01:32Speaker 32: my circle of people that I hang around with who
- 1:01:35Speaker 32: know me and know what I'm about and whatever, and uh,
- 1:01:38Speaker 32: anybody else who doesn't like it or doesn't want them.
- 1:01:42Speaker 33: That a person's strengths are often their biggest weaknesses, and
- 1:01:48Speaker 33: so that also means that their weaknesses can be their strengths.
- 1:01:55Speaker 13: The emptiness in your life isn't because you don't have
- 1:01:57Speaker 13: enough rights. You have all the rights to are, you
- 1:02:00Speaker 13: have more than you should, And isn't because you lack
- 1:02:03Speaker 13: consumerist options. You have Amazon and pornography mat you can
- 1:02:09Speaker 13: get whatever you want whenever you want it. And if
- 1:02:11Speaker 13: that's still not working, well, what are you missing? Well,
- 1:02:15Speaker 13: maybe you're missing the opposite of that, a little bit
- 1:02:17Speaker 13: of restraint, a little bit of sacrifice, some responsibility.
- 1:02:20Speaker 31: The way you can change is you have to put
- 1:02:22Speaker 31: us out enough money to give yourself a window, and
- 1:02:25Speaker 31: then you have to have a plan, and you have
- 1:02:26Speaker 31: to spend all your waking hours outside of whatever shit
- 1:02:29Speaker 31: job you do planning your escape. And you have to
- 1:02:33Speaker 31: come to the realization very clearly that you fucked up
- 1:02:36Speaker 31: and you got yourself stuck. So whatever you're doing, you
- 1:02:39Speaker 31: have to do it like your life depends on it.
- 1:02:44Speaker 34: This is actually pretty simple, and I said it the
- 1:02:47Speaker 34: other day, And you have to realize, you have to know,
- 1:02:50Speaker 34: you have to accept that all your excuses are lies.
- 1:02:58Speaker 34: They are lies, all of them. Think about the things
- 1:03:04Speaker 34: that you tell yourself, the lies you use to rationalize
- 1:03:08Speaker 34: taking the easy road.
- 1:03:11Speaker 32: My advice I would give is, don't listen to anyone.
- 1:03:13Speaker 32: Don't everybody tells you right.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: Don't listen to me, don't listen to anybody.
- 1:03:18Speaker 32: Don't listen to anyone. Everybody's full of shit. Nobody knows
- 1:03:23Speaker 32: you or what you're capable of doing. And here's the reality.
- 1:03:27Speaker 32: When the hardest thing in life is figuring out who
- 1:03:30Speaker 32: you are and what you want to do for the
- 1:03:32Speaker 32: rest of your life. It's a big decision. I'm very
- 1:03:36Speaker 32: blessed and lucky. I always knew who I wasn't exactly
- 1:03:39Speaker 32: what I.
- 1:03:39Speaker 7: Wanted to do.
- 1:03:40Speaker 32: And once you figure that out, you wake up every
- 1:03:43Speaker 32: day and you work toward it. That's what you do.
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: It's impossible.
