Speaker 1: Why can't you change your thinking? Everybody else does. Do
Speaker 1: you know what everybody says it's suicide. You've seen him,
Speaker 1: you know how strong he is. You can't win.
Speaker 2: That's the way I made it. We can't change what
Speaker 2: we are. And if those of you in this room.
Speaker 3: You are great, you are phenomenal, and you're not walking
Speaker 3: in it.
Speaker 2: Because you don't know who you are and what you want.
Speaker 2: If you're gonna do it, do it.
Speaker 4: Say what you can do, do what you say you
Speaker 4: can't do it, don't say you can do it. Don't
Speaker 4: overleverage yourself. Don't overleverage your decision, and then jump in
Speaker 4: and kind of dip a toe. I think I'll try
Speaker 4: it out now. Think if you're gonna try it out beforehand,
Speaker 4: but when it's time to go, die, don't leave.
Speaker 5: It and go oo if I just got it? Uh huh.
Speaker 2: That keeps me up at night.
Speaker 4: I think it keeps a lot of us up at
Speaker 4: night finding out and looking in the mirror and going
Speaker 4: I didn't have ascid.
Speaker 5: I went all the way I found out.
Speaker 2: And why didn't you quit? You know I was trying
Speaker 2: to get rid of you.
Speaker 6: Get you stayed?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I stayed.
Speaker 7: I stayed because every time you threw a brick at
Speaker 7: my head or said I smelled, it urts, but it
Speaker 7: could never hurt more than it did.
Speaker 2: Every day of my life just being me.
Speaker 8: I stayed because I thought if anyone could change me,
Speaker 8: could make me not me, it was.
Speaker 2: You, guys.
Speaker 6: You had a time to become a good fighter, and
Speaker 6: instead of that, you began my leg quit some cheat,
Speaker 6: second rate lodestime.
Speaker 2: It's a living, it's a waste slight.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 9: Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of it saying courage,
Speaker 9: Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery, and I
Speaker 9: promise you.
Speaker 10: Something great will come of it. You're born with a gift.
Speaker 10: If not that, then you get good at something along
Speaker 10: the way. And what you're good at you don't take
Speaker 10: for granted, you don't portray it.
Speaker 5: What if you do betray your gift and you betray yourself?
Speaker 11: And he'd lost his father earlier in the week, literally
Speaker 11: forty eight hours later, he was in the car.
Speaker 12: Yeah, what was it like racing that year? Having to
Speaker 12: show up again now where you don't have the.
Speaker 13: Person who believes in your loves and drinks and what
Speaker 13: would that man?
Speaker 14: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was on the Tuesday of Baku.
Speaker 15: As soon as he passed away, I asked myself what
Speaker 15: would he wants me to do?
Speaker 5: And I had no doubts. I mean, there was only
Speaker 5: one answhere this was a.
Speaker 11: Kid who just lost his father, and he was a
Speaker 11: kid at the time. He's a teenager. It's at that
Speaker 11: kind of mental strength. I've never seen anything like it.
Speaker 11: He then went out, fell to the last place, fall
Speaker 11: his way through from one place, tapes.
Speaker 16: The lease, please past absolutely everyone to get himself back
Speaker 16: to the row.
Speaker 17: Yet yet.
Speaker 12: When Gretz you said, in a brilliant way, you miss
Speaker 12: one hundred percent of the shot.
Speaker 18: You don't take one often meets his this and the
Speaker 18: under road he takes to avoid it.
Speaker 5: Your mind is like this water, my friend.
Speaker 19: When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see.
Speaker 5: But if you allow it to settle, it lenswer becomes clear.
Speaker 20: You just got to quick trip it while you're in
Speaker 20: the process, because the process is necessary. You may not
Speaker 20: see it now, but when he gets you on the
Speaker 20: other side of it, you don't see exactly why weren't
Speaker 20: that way, And you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Be okay with it.
Speaker 20: Putting your strategy and your plan of action, continuously looking
Speaker 20: for ways to win.
Speaker 9: When will I know I'm ready?
Speaker 2: You won't.
Speaker 5: That's all it is, miles a leap of faith.
Speaker 6: So now you gotta ask yourself.
Speaker 5: Are you here to proof something to other people? Or
Speaker 5: proof something to yourself?
Speaker 21: Until you win? If it always goes and noticed, get
Speaker 21: used to it. No one roots for you until everyone
Speaker 21: roots for you. That's just how it works.
Speaker 2: What you set me up to fail?
Speaker 22: Why if you only do what you can do, you
Speaker 22: will never be more than you are now.
Speaker 21: The only insults that hurt the ones we believe. Next
Speaker 21: time someone insults you, remember they're going to die. Everyone
Speaker 21: will forget about them. And if no one will remember them,
Speaker 21: then you might as well forget about them now. They
Speaker 21: are irrelevant. Your dream your actions, your outcomes. You cannot
Speaker 21: wish for a strong character and an easy life. Each
Speaker 21: is the price of the other. What if what you're
Speaker 21: going through isn't hard? What if you're just sensitive?
Speaker 23: List all the things that you aren't willing to give
Speaker 23: up for the dreams that you have, and that is
Speaker 23: what the person.
Speaker 5: Who will beat you is willing to give up. You
Speaker 5: know what your problem is. You're smart too smart.
Speaker 24: You overthink because your mind moves at a million miles
Speaker 24: a minute. You're sad because you're not fooled by the
Speaker 24: world like everyone else. You don't get along with most
Speaker 24: people because they just don't look at things.
Speaker 5: The way you do.
Speaker 24: You think you're dumb because you're smart enough to know
Speaker 24: you don't know everything.
Speaker 5: Your problem is you're too smart.
Speaker 24: And happiness and intelligent people is one of the rarest
Speaker 24: things I know.
Speaker 21: People want to find that passion, but you don't find it.
Speaker 21: You create it, and you create it by getting good
Speaker 21: at something. And to get good at stuff, you start
Speaker 21: by doing something you suck at, then you get good,
Speaker 21: then you like it. Then people ask how you found
Speaker 21: your passion. Answer by starting when you sucked and not
Speaker 21: giving up.
Speaker 25: Have you ever thought that I want more from life
Speaker 25: than a nice apartment in a job serving tea?
Speaker 19: There's nothing wrong with a life of peace and prosperity.
Speaker 19: I suggest you think about what it is that you
Speaker 19: want from your life and.
Speaker 2: Why I want my destiny. What that means is up
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 14: Here's bubble verse. I think about sometimes many times it goes.
Speaker 14: Then I heard the voice Lord saying, who shall I send?
Speaker 14: And who will go for us? And I said, here,
Speaker 14: am I.
Speaker 5: Send me.
Speaker 2: When I have my accident.
Speaker 26: I found out at that moment nothing in life is
Speaker 26: promised except death.
Speaker 8: If you have the opportunity to play this game of.
Speaker 27: Life, you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of
Speaker 27: people don't appreciate that moment until it's passed.
Speaker 21: Well, if you can be in a bad mood for
Speaker 21: no reason, you might as well be in a good
Speaker 21: mood for no reason. If it's not going to change
Speaker 21: your life, it shouldn't change your mood. If the cost
Speaker 21: is peace of mind, don't buy it.
Speaker 16: I'll ever pass up an opportunity to be of encouragement
Speaker 16: to other people. Don't ever pass up an opportunity to
Speaker 16: inspire someone. Who ever pass up an opportunity to empower someone,
Speaker 16: Who'll ever pass.
Speaker 2: Up an opportunity to show someone love.
Speaker 16: Because the thing about it my room, like you can
Speaker 16: see this, you can see my arm, my wound is visible,
Speaker 16: but it's a lot of people in this room that
Speaker 16: are wounded and you can't see it.
Speaker 28: And it's in turn, hard work actually works, and with
Speaker 28: virtually everything, it might not make you the best at
Speaker 28: whatever it is you're pursuing, but it will certainly make
Speaker 28: you better than you are.
Speaker 21: I've found great to fulfillment in the journey of pursuing
Speaker 21: my goals than in the moment of achieving them.
Speaker 6: So you're true a little special all. You're gonna know
Speaker 6: that in good time with it right, and I ain't
Speaker 6: gonna come overnight. You're gonna take be take this. You're
Speaker 6: to get knocked at. You got to get up and
Speaker 6: you're gonna see if you got the right thing. But
Speaker 6: you gotta work hard. I short of God. If you're
Speaker 6: not going to do it, I'm out.
Speaker 29: Cany punch you ever throw has been my mom might
Speaker 29: showed me how to do this.
Speaker 10: I'm ready.
Speaker 2: Well, it's to be unyielding, you know, you never give
Speaker 2: an inch to anything.
Speaker 27: Like you're always going after it, always going after, always
Speaker 27: going after it. And if there's a challenge that ensues,
Speaker 27: oh good, I want to see how I stack up
Speaker 27: to that. So you go after you go after it,
Speaker 27: and it's just it's fun. It's like you get a
Speaker 27: chance to compete against opponents and you get a chance
Speaker 27: to see where you.
Speaker 2: Stack up against them.
Speaker 27: It's like I want to see you.
Speaker 14: Maybe I'm not good enough today.
Speaker 27: If that that's fine, I'll be good enough the next
Speaker 27: time I see you, though, you know, and you get
Speaker 27: a chance to always measure yourself. So I guess that's
Speaker 27: where relentlessness comes from.
Speaker 15: I wanted to read you a quote from twenty thirteen
Speaker 15: that you said, I've.
Speaker 28: Lost my mind on this game.
Speaker 15: Like Vince Ivanka dedicated his life to his art and
Speaker 15: he lost his mind in the process.
Speaker 5: That's happened to me.
Speaker 26: But that gold belts around my waist. My mother has
Speaker 26: a big manager. My girl ran as I did my
Speaker 26: car for every day of a week. My kids kids
Speaker 26: have everything they ever want. Then I'll pay then ipy,
Speaker 26: then I'm happy.
Speaker 21: I lost last night.
Speaker 30: Mind.
Speaker 5: How did you get good at this?
Speaker 15: Honestly, I made a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 2: That's the secret.
Speaker 15: Just there might be in I think as I started early,
Speaker 15: I got my skill set up really quick, and then
Speaker 15: started to feel like I was really the best. You know,
Speaker 15: I got all these really good places. I really was
Speaker 15: the best cook. And then I started at this really
Speaker 15: great place as a comedy and this other chef started
Speaker 15: in days and I thought we were competition.
Speaker 21: But really we weren't. He was better than me much
Speaker 21: much better than me.
Speaker 15: He worked harder and faster, and it was the first
Speaker 15: time I realized that I wasn't the best. So I
Speaker 15: started looking at it like it was a good thing,
Speaker 15: Like at least I knew who the best was now
Speaker 15: and I could take that pressure off myself. And the
Speaker 15: onlyological thing to do was to try and keep up
Speaker 15: with him. So I never left this guy's side. And
Speaker 15: you get better, oh mate, I got better than I
Speaker 15: ever thought I possibly could be, just trying to keep
Speaker 15: up with him.
Speaker 27: Never say never, because limits, like fears are often just
Speaker 27: an n.
Speaker 18: Loser because we know that it's not easy. But no pain,
Speaker 18: no gain, not even coming from the showing temple worldwide.
Speaker 18: Know that sentence. Everything that hurts you find a way
Speaker 18: to overcome it. Everything that you feel is difficult for you,
Speaker 18: find a way to still do it.
Speaker 27: There's a choice that we have to make as people,
Speaker 27: as individuals. If you want to be great at something
Speaker 27: is a choice that you have to make. We all
Speaker 27: can be masters at our craft, but you have to
Speaker 27: make a choice.
Speaker 5: What I mean by that is.
Speaker 27: Inherent sacrifices that come along with that. I knew that
Speaker 27: I was not going to be stopped, you know, set
Speaker 27: the age of eighteen. This was my life, right, So
Speaker 27: you can't possibly become better than me because you're not
Speaker 27: spending the time on it that I do. Even if
Speaker 27: you want to spend the time when it, you can't
Speaker 27: because you have other things, you have other responsibilities that
Speaker 27: are taking you away from it.
Speaker 2: So I already won.
Speaker 3: So it's not the car, the house, or whatever. It
Speaker 3: is that internal gold, that internal why. And so for me,
Speaker 3: I just think that's it like that like you, Ah,
Speaker 3: it's just it's something within it. You gotta pull it out.
Speaker 3: And so it's easy when you have a why, a purpose.
Speaker 3: I'm doing it for this, I'm doing it for that.
Speaker 3: It's easy to get up and get going. But it's
Speaker 3: just for a car. What happens when you get the
Speaker 3: car because you can buy it. What happens when you
Speaker 3: get the house and you can buy the house.
Speaker 31: Because I think any person, any human, realizes that if
Speaker 31: you want some kind of a good outcome, you're going
Speaker 31: to have to work hard for it.
Speaker 2: And if you then, if you.
Speaker 31: Don't work hard for something, you're not going to get
Speaker 31: an outcome that's really worth much. There's things that you
Speaker 31: can control, there's things you can't control. Now, I will
Speaker 31: tell you that human beings can control a lot more
Speaker 31: than they think they can. And oftentimes it's pretty easy
Speaker 31: just to say, oh, that's not me, that's not on me.
Speaker 31: And I think that's the whole genesis of the idea
Speaker 31: of extreme ownership is most of the time or much
Speaker 31: of the time, people say.
Speaker 2: That's not my fault.
Speaker 31: There's nothing I can do about that, And more often
Speaker 31: than people think, there is something you can do about it,
Speaker 31: and it is your fault.
Speaker 21: It's normal to not know what you're doing. If you did,
Speaker 21: it wouldn't be called growth. High five your fear, uncertainty
Speaker 21: and doubt and carry on. Do you get tired, stressed, sad, hungry,
Speaker 21: frustrated and focused? Do you feel misunderstood? Great, you're human.
Speaker 21: You don't need medication.
Speaker 2: It is hard.
Speaker 32: It's hard when you're young to wake up in the
Speaker 32: off season at six am to go train and work out,
Speaker 32: knowing that all your friends are sleeping in and eating pancakes.
Speaker 32: It's hard when you're on your way to practice way
Speaker 32: down with all your gear and it's ninety degrees out
Speaker 32: and all the other kids are at the pool or
Speaker 32: at the beach, and your body is already completely exhausted
Speaker 32: for workouts in two a days.
Speaker 2: It's hard to throw.
Speaker 32: Catch, block, and tackle and hit kids when they're way bigger,
Speaker 32: it's way more developed than you. Only to go home
Speaker 32: that night bruised and battered and straight, but no one.
Speaker 32: You have to show up again the next day for
Speaker 32: just the chance to try again.
Speaker 2: But understand, this life is hard.
Speaker 33: You're not good enough. If you quit, you're gonna quit
Speaker 33: everything hard in your life. And that's a big problem
Speaker 33: for you.
Speaker 21: People delay doing things that they don't like for longer
Speaker 21: than it takes to do them.
Speaker 23: Yeah, we need to be reminded more than we need
Speaker 23: to be taught.
Speaker 21: Bad things don't come in threes. Bad things happen. People
Speaker 21: don't know how to cope, and they allow one bad
Speaker 21: thing to no ball into more bad stuff. Sucks. The
Speaker 21: only thing worse is letting one bad thing ruin many
Speaker 21: good things.
Speaker 13: So when I was growing up for like three years,
Speaker 13: so from time I was eight to time I was
Speaker 13: like twelve, we live in a seven dollars a month place.
Speaker 13: And what I call it is I'm always paying rent
Speaker 13: in that seven dollars a month home.
Speaker 2: Every day of my life. I go back and revisit
Speaker 2: that place.
Speaker 13: That place made me this garanimal, that place made me
Speaker 13: this hard man.
Speaker 12: And then from that place, so that place.
Speaker 2: Is hard work.
Speaker 13: That place is going back to the fundamentals of life,
Speaker 13: the fundamentals what made David Gagas David Gagas, going back
Speaker 13: in there, going back to the going back to the
Speaker 13: library of David Gaggins, studying even more than what I know,
Speaker 13: taking that out, going back to where I'm at now,
Speaker 13: and then moving forward.
Speaker 34: Difficult things make regular life less difficult because regular life
Speaker 34: can be confusing, and little things that go wrong and
Speaker 34: little problems that arise are exacerbated by the fact that
Speaker 34: you're not accustomed to dealing with hardship.
Speaker 8: But it was still a kid with a dream, and
Speaker 8: I believe in himself, and for many times I was laughed.
Speaker 8: I not believed in But you know what, nothing external
Speaker 8: can defeat the internal. The only thing that can take
Speaker 8: someone down and break you down is internal.
Speaker 2: Nothing external is strong enough.
Speaker 8: It's just about making sure your internal dialogue and your
Speaker 8: internal belief in yourself is strong enough that it can
Speaker 8: withstand the external. The external is there, you've got to
Speaker 8: accept it, You've got to embrace it. You've got to
Speaker 8: understand it and be aware of it, but don't let
Speaker 8: it seep into you, into your internal dialogue.
Speaker 23: I think the more, at least for me, the more
Speaker 23: I've tried to create space between how I feel and
Speaker 23: what I do, the more consistent my outcomes have been.
Speaker 35: Embrace the process, you say, Dinge Walt, process life, life,
Speaker 35: Embrace the journey and the process of life. You only
Speaker 35: get stronger.
Speaker 2: Hiken by going on appeal.
Speaker 35: Nobody gets stronger Hiking by just going downhill.
Speaker 2: Because you're probably in the bed right now.
Speaker 12: You're probably an underachiever.
Speaker 13: You're probably somebody who doesn't want to do anything.
Speaker 5: With your life.
Speaker 2: People should stop complaining right. People should figure out.
Speaker 21: Who the fuck they are.
Speaker 25: People should not listen to America propaganda of fixing the
Speaker 25: shit they suck at. They should be tripling down at
Speaker 25: what they're good at. They should be competent in certain areas.
Speaker 25: But you're not gonna become Beyonce or you know, like
Speaker 25: your bone structure is a certain way, Like you're not
Speaker 25: gonna solve everything. You're iq can get a little bit better,
Speaker 25: but don't worry about the incremental.
Speaker 2: Figure out what you put you on fire.
Speaker 25: And you're halfway decent at if you're lucky enough right
Speaker 25: now to be listening, and you're good at what you like,
Speaker 25: become tunnel vision because there's way too many voices telling
Speaker 25: you what and how. The reason most people who are
Speaker 25: listening right now are not doing that thing is they're worried.
Speaker 21: About the opinion of somebody.
Speaker 25: And the reality is, we have to get to a
Speaker 25: place where you're doing you because the number one thing
Speaker 25: that scares.
Speaker 2: The fight out of me is regret.
Speaker 21: The Lonely chapter describes a time in which you're growing,
Speaker 21: you're changing as a person, and you're now so different
Speaker 21: that you can no longer resonate with your old set
Speaker 21: of friends, but you're not sufficiently developed that you've got
Speaker 21: the new set of friends that you're going to grow into.
Speaker 21: And this is the lonely chapter. And the problem with
Speaker 21: it is that you're always the desire to sort of
Speaker 21: regress back to where you are is always going to
Speaker 21: be there, and you're going to have You're going to
Speaker 21: have uncertainty. There's not even the promise of glory or
Speaker 21: success or triumph when you get through the other side.
Speaker 21: What am I pushing toward? You know, you're telling me
Speaker 21: that I'm not going to go out on this night
Speaker 21: out with my friends, which I've done for the last
Speaker 21: five years or ten years in the town that I
Speaker 21: grew up in or went to university in or whatever.
Speaker 21: Are you telling me that I'm not going to do
Speaker 21: that because I'm going to get up and I'm going
Speaker 21: to meditate or re Who even knows if meditation works? Right?
Speaker 21: Like you go, all of these questions in your mind
Speaker 21: and all of your friends and all of the dynamics
Speaker 21: and the temptations pull you back toward that. It pulls
Speaker 21: you back toward the old version of life. Just lock
Speaker 21: on me for six months.
Speaker 2: Please, I really want you to be great.
Speaker 36: You got me, I got you, We all we got you.
Speaker 5: See what happens.
Speaker 36: It's so easy to clear, bro, that's what everyone's doing,
Speaker 36: and we're not trying to be like everybody else.
Speaker 21: Can't progress in life without progressing.
Speaker 5: Let it go over your head.
Speaker 36: You can't progress in the grand scheme of life if
Speaker 36: you don't progress in your everyday life. If you don't
Speaker 36: try to take a step to be better, your overall
Speaker 36: life won't be better.
Speaker 21: If you put your head down and lock it on
Speaker 21: the vision.
Speaker 2: How could you not win.
Speaker 36: Only thing that's going to cause you to lose your
Speaker 36: own mentality.
Speaker 21: Why I hate being around negative people. Being an asshole
Speaker 21: is a weak person's idea of stress. Complaining is their connection.
Speaker 21: Never let yourself be held back by other people's fears.
Speaker 21: People criticize what they were afraid to do themselves because
Speaker 21: bold action reminds them of their own inaction. If you're
Speaker 21: afraid to be criticized, why do you care about the
Speaker 21: opinions of those who are too timid to do it themselves.
Speaker 21: If you are the criticizer, does tearing down someone who
Speaker 21: has the courage you lack make you better?
Speaker 37: You give a whole life in front of you. You
Speaker 37: have years to take part in this life and to
Speaker 37: do stuff. You do, pomp the stuff and do enjoy stuff.
Speaker 37: I think about that I was twenty two again, and
Speaker 37: God said, hey, huh, I'll make you twenty two again. Okay,
Speaker 37: just do something different. Wow, oh my god.
Speaker 5: I'd be like a professional golfer this time, even though
Speaker 5: I can't. I lous your call. They stick a carbo.
Speaker 15: I would do.
Speaker 37: Something that I think in my brain I could never do,
Speaker 37: which was body gooding.
Speaker 5: All one time I thought I could never do this.
Speaker 5: You know it's too Insmatle, it's too crazy. But something
Speaker 5: back in my mind and we said, do it, do it,
Speaker 5: do it?
Speaker 27: Do it.
Speaker 38: Hey, When you get out of bed, life standing right
Speaker 38: there to kick you in the face. Man, could be anything,
Speaker 38: could be. You get up and you walk downstairs. You
Speaker 38: got a flat tire and you're late for work, and
Speaker 38: you got this and that life is going to throw
Speaker 38: all kinds of crazy you right, and you have to
Speaker 38: be ready for it, and you got to deal with it.
Speaker 38: You can't curl up into a ball. You can't run
Speaker 38: away from it, you can't hide. You have to take
Speaker 38: all this head on.
Speaker 21: So this Lonely chapter is a period through which I
Speaker 21: think everybody needs to squeeze. Anybody that decides to go
Speaker 21: from a place they want to a place that they
Speaker 21: want to be, it's going to have to let go
Speaker 21: of people who can't go there with them. It's that
Speaker 21: if you know that there is something that you're meant
Speaker 21: to do, if you know that there's something that you're
Speaker 21: meant to change, you will have to let sudden groups, friends, routines, places, activities,
Speaker 21: recreations that you do. You're going to have to let
Speaker 21: those go and there is this you know, the rocky
Speaker 21: cut scene lasts for ninety seconds in the movie, but
Speaker 21: it can last for five years in your life and
Speaker 21: you have no idea whether or not it's even going
Speaker 21: to work. And that's the bit that always got to me.
Speaker 21: The bit that always got to me was I didn't
Speaker 21: even know if it was there was going to be
Speaker 21: any glory on the other side. It's like you think, well,
Speaker 21: I'm just study here doing the thing, but I don't
Speaker 21: know if it's going to come out on the other side.
Speaker 21: And I can promise you anybody that has done anything,
Speaker 21: moved from any place they were to any place that
Speaker 21: they want to be, has gone through this lonely chapter.
Speaker 29: I think you just got to work up one day
Speaker 29: and just say, so what, who cares? Even don't believe
Speaker 29: in me? I believe in myself. You don't put too
Speaker 29: much work to not have this amount of confidence. Yeah,
Speaker 29: if you don't believe in me doesn't changed my success store.
Speaker 5: I'm still going to win.
Speaker 29: But I guess one thing I got to say is
Speaker 29: let me know when that Hey starts making you money.
Speaker 23: You may be right that other people did certain things,
Speaker 23: or you got delta bad hand It also doesn't matter
Speaker 23: because the only thing that you can't control is the
Speaker 23: actions that you take, and the only person who's in
Speaker 23: control of that is you.
Speaker 7: Nobody is going to understand you, bro, And it's like,
Speaker 7: I really realize nobody ever believed in me, Like you
Speaker 7: have to believe in yourself. If nobody else is going
Speaker 7: to understand, then you have to make sure that you
Speaker 7: understand and that you believe in yourself, because that's where
Speaker 7: it starts.
Speaker 21: Control freak is a word people with low standards use
Speaker 21: to describe people with high standards. You're not a control freak.
Speaker 21: You just want it done right the first time. You're
Speaker 21: not anxious, you care. Do not expect mediocre people to
Speaker 21: support world class goals.
Speaker 39: If if you go visit the darkness that you've been
Speaker 39: running from, you'll have the opportunity to leave a better person.
Speaker 39: You'll have a better understanding of yourself, you have a
Speaker 39: better understanding of your purpose. But if you don't take
Speaker 39: that trip and the darkness comes visits you, it's a
Speaker 39: guest that will never leave.
Speaker 40: You're playing against the Golden State Warriors. Score is one
Speaker 40: oh seven, one oh nine. You guys are close to
Speaker 40: getting into the playoffs. You know exactly what happens in
Speaker 40: the game. You go up, you're about to take your shot,
Speaker 40: and an all of a sudden bone Achilles happens.
Speaker 2: Why and again going to work falls down?
Speaker 17: Yeah, he's struggling. Right after you're injured, he went on
Speaker 17: Facebook and you posted a lengthy block.
Speaker 2: You know what this is?
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, this is such bs. All the training and
Speaker 17: sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that
Speaker 17: I've done millions of times. The frustration is unbearable, anger
Speaker 17: is raged. Why the hell did this happen? It makes
Speaker 17: no damn sense. Now I'm supposed to come back from
Speaker 17: this and be the same player or better at thirty five.
Speaker 17: How in the world am I supposed to do that?
Speaker 17: I have no clue. Do I have the consistent will
Speaker 17: to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the
Speaker 17: rocking chair and reminisce on the career that was. Maybe
Speaker 17: this is how my book ends. Maybe father time has
Speaker 17: defeated me. Then again, maybe not.
Speaker 2: It's three thirty am.
Speaker 17: My foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning
Speaker 17: from the pain meds, and I'm wide awake. Forgive my venting,
Speaker 17: But what's the purpose of social media, if I won't
Speaker 17: bring it to you real, no image feels good to vent,
Speaker 17: to let it out, to feel as if this is
Speaker 17: the worst thing ever, because after all the venting, the
Speaker 17: real perspective sets in.
Speaker 2: There are far.
Speaker 17: Greater issues and challenges in the world than a torn Achilles.
Speaker 17: Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining, and
Speaker 17: get to work with the same belief, same drive, and
Speaker 17: same conviction as ever. One day the beginning of a
Speaker 17: new career journey will commence.
Speaker 2: Today is not that day. If you see me in.
Speaker 17: A fight with a bear, pray for the bear. I've
Speaker 17: always loved that quote. That's Mamba mentality. We don't quit,
Speaker 17: we don't cower, we don't run.
Speaker 2: It's hurt it.
Speaker 33: But the Lakers down by two, and they want them
Speaker 33: and need them at the free throw line?
Speaker 2: Got it?
Speaker 33: Yeah?
Speaker 40: How the hell do you tolerate that kind of pain?
Speaker 27: I use this, I tell you this example, and I
Speaker 27: think this is the best way to explain it. Your
Speaker 27: kids are upstairs, you know, wife is wherever she may be.
Speaker 27: You know it's going down all right. I'm willing to
Speaker 27: bet that you're going to forget about your hamshrnk. You're
Speaker 27: gonna sprint upstairs.
Speaker 2: You're gonna grab your kids. You go make sure your
Speaker 2: wife's good. You're getting out of that house.
Speaker 27: Right, hamstring be damn, you're not gonna fill your hamshrink.
Speaker 2: This is another obstacle.
Speaker 27: This obstacle cannot define me. It's not going to cripple me.
Speaker 27: It's not going to be responsible for me stepping away
Speaker 27: for the game that I love.
Speaker 2: I'm going to step away on my own terms.
Speaker 27: And that's when the decision was made that you know
Speaker 27: what I'm doing it doing.
Speaker 2: It discussed.
Speaker 19: Disgusted discussed as a negative emotion, but it can have
Speaker 19: a very positive, powerful effect. Disgust says, I've had it.
Speaker 19: What an important day that could be.
Speaker 41: Most people will not understand your obsession, your drive, and
Speaker 41: your determination.
Speaker 2: Success is a lonely journey. That's just a reality.
Speaker 41: And most people are not gonna understand why you're so
Speaker 41: driven while you're so obsessed, And if you try and
Speaker 41: make them understand, you're gonna end up frustrated. The best
Speaker 41: advice I can tell you is go on the journey
Speaker 41: by yourself.
Speaker 23: If I'm going to be just as miserable being mediocre
Speaker 23: as I am doing this, I.
Speaker 27: Think iverson so that's how you're gonna play it.
Speaker 5: You're gonna do this.
Speaker 14: Okay, Fine, that's all I needed.
Speaker 27: That's all I needed for him to do that, and
Speaker 27: it became personal with me.
Speaker 19: Welcome all experiences. You never know which one is going to.
Speaker 2: Turn everything on. Don't put up the walls.
Speaker 19: The same wall that keeps out disappointment keeps out happiness.
Speaker 2: Take down the walls. Go for the experience. Let it
Speaker 2: teach you. And here's the last thing. Resolve.
Speaker 19: Resolve says I will, two of the most powerful words
Speaker 19: in the language.
Speaker 2: Benjamin just rarely said.
Speaker 19: Nothing can resist a human will that will stake its
Speaker 19: existence on its purpose. Shortly put, I'll do it or die.
Speaker 42: My whole thing, Joe is, I'm so grateful. I'm so
Speaker 42: optimistic man, and I'm always looking for light in every situation.
Speaker 42: And I think that's the way I deal with things.
Speaker 42: I just I'm always I always believe there's going to
Speaker 42: be good at the end of the day. That's just
Speaker 42: how I am. I'm just so grateful. Where most people
Speaker 42: will be so upset with themselves and all this type
Speaker 42: of stuff, I'm really not. I believe that my best
Speaker 42: year is my prime is even still ahead of me,
Speaker 42: so I'm not even tripping about it.
Speaker 21: Do not be the cult cynic. The ability to express wondering,
Speaker 21: amazement and seem like you mean it is a rare
Speaker 21: and dying talent, but one is still greatly valued.
Speaker 22: The first thing is you gotta be selfish as hell.
Speaker 22: You gotta be selfish. I don't give a foo. It's
Speaker 22: to sacrifice, but without great sacrifice and without great risk,
Speaker 22: because there is no such thing as a great reward.
Speaker 2: You have to have.
Speaker 22: And I don't like this word, but I'm gonna say
Speaker 22: it because it's true. You have to be a little
Speaker 22: maniacal with this ship maniac right. That word isn't good
Speaker 22: in a lot of situations. But when you're pursuing your destiny,
Speaker 22: when you identify with your destiny, you have to be selfish.
Speaker 22: You have to be moniacal, you have to be uncompromising,
Speaker 22: and you have to move in a way way when
Speaker 22: it comes to those three things, when you function completely
Speaker 22: in a way where it's an unwavering faith, like it
Speaker 22: don't matter how fuck this might look, It don't matter
Speaker 22: how much it feels like it ain't gonna work.
Speaker 29: People say I'm conceived, I talk too much but they
Speaker 29: must have pity on me.
Speaker 27: It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I.
Speaker 34: We have been fed this line of horship that you're
Speaker 34: supposed to seek comfort, and I don't think you are.
Speaker 34: I think you're supposed to seek lessons, and you're supposed
Speaker 34: to seek difficult tasks and accomplishments and through those things
Speaker 34: and through doing things that are hard to do. Even
Speaker 34: if it's just a ninety minute hot yoga class. I
Speaker 34: do a ninety minute yoga class, man, those last twenty minutes,
Speaker 34: I do not want to be there, man, and I
Speaker 34: definitely don't want to give one hundred percent. And I
Speaker 34: can cheat.
Speaker 2: I could kind of half ass it.
Speaker 34: I can, But if I don't and I get through it,
Speaker 34: when that time is up and the lady says namaste
Speaker 34: and everybody he gets up, I'm like, fuck, man, I
Speaker 34: made it.
Speaker 22: You know.
Speaker 34: I lost fifteen pounds. My yoga mat has drenched the
Speaker 34: point where I get literally ring it out and fill
Speaker 34: a jug up with water. But through that struggle, I
Speaker 34: will now have a better day, and I better do
Speaker 34: it again tomorrow.
Speaker 7: Why you need to go all in, the main reason
Speaker 7: you need to go all in is because you have
Speaker 7: nothing to lose, bro when you think about it, Guys,
Speaker 7: you're already broke, okay, And we know that you're not
Speaker 7: going to save yourself rich okay. And we know that
Speaker 7: if somebody else is all in and you only have
Speaker 7: half of your foot into the water and you're not
Speaker 7: ready to jump, that guy's going.
Speaker 5: To beat you every single time.
Speaker 27: If your job is to try to be the best
Speaker 27: basketball player, you can be right to do that. You
Speaker 27: have to practice. You have to train, right. You want
Speaker 27: to train as much as you can, as often as
Speaker 27: you can. So if you get up at ten in
Speaker 27: the morning, train at eleven, right, twelve, say twelve, train
Speaker 27: at twelve, train for two hours, twelve to two. You
Speaker 27: have to let your body recover, so you eat, recover
Speaker 27: whatever you get back out you train, start training again
Speaker 27: at six, train from six to eight. Right, and now
Speaker 27: you go home, You shower, you dinner, you go to bed,
Speaker 27: You wake up and do it again. Right, those are
Speaker 27: two sessions right now. Imagine you wake up at three,
Speaker 27: you train at four, you go four to six, come home, breakfast, relax,
Speaker 27: so so blah lah lah. Now you're back at it
Speaker 27: again nine to eleven. Right, you relax, and now it's done,
Speaker 27: you're back at it again. To the four. And now
Speaker 27: you're back at it again. You know seven to nine.
Speaker 27: Look how much more training I have done by simply
Speaker 27: starting at four? Right? And so now you do that,
Speaker 27: And as the years go on, the separation that you
Speaker 27: have with your competitors and your peers just grows larger.
Speaker 12: And larger and larger and larger and larger.
Speaker 27: And by a year five or six, doesn't matter how
Speaker 27: what kind of work they doing in the summer, they're
Speaker 27: never gonna catch up.
Speaker 19: But I think that's good advice. Don't be a follower,
Speaker 19: be a student. Right, take advice, but not orders. Take information,
Speaker 19: but don't let somebody you know order your life.
Speaker 2: Make sure what you do.
Speaker 19: Is the product of your own conclusion. Make sure what
Speaker 19: you do is the product of.
Speaker 2: Your own conclusion.
Speaker 19: Not to do what someone else says, take what someone
Speaker 19: else says, processes, think about it, ponder it. If it
Speaker 19: makes you wonder, it makes you think, then it's valuable.
Speaker 19: Then when you go take action, make sure that the
Speaker 19: action is not what somebody told you to do. Make
Speaker 19: sure the action is the product of your own conclusion.
Speaker 33: The biggest difference between people who win and people who lose.
Speaker 33: Is that winners expect to win. Winners are not surprised
Speaker 33: when they win. Like when I win, I don't like celebrate,
Speaker 33: overly celebrate because I expected that to be the outcome.
Speaker 33: Amateurs when they win, they're surprised and then they over celebrate,
Speaker 33: And like I said, when they over celebrate, they become
Speaker 33: ineffective because they're taking their eye off the game for
Speaker 33: way too long. Right, I won the week this week,
Speaker 33: and then they talk about that one week for the
Speaker 33: next six weeks, and the next six weeks, the guy
Speaker 33: who expected to win is still going just as hard.
Speaker 33: So it's an expectation. That's the difference between winners and
Speaker 33: losers that I think in terms of not so much
Speaker 33: their self talk, but just their attitude.
Speaker 38: You're gonna know what it's gonna be like to make
Speaker 38: it personal, because I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 2: Personal because it's always been personal.
Speaker 43: To me.
Speaker 2: You identify with this gift.
Speaker 22: We all got the gift because something that we've all
Speaker 22: been blessed with at some point, if we listen to
Speaker 22: that little thing that speaks to us inside. Some people
Speaker 22: call it instinct, some people call it a vibe. Some
Speaker 22: people call it an energy, whatever the fuck you call it.
Speaker 22: Some people call it a voice. Whatever that thing is. Bro,
Speaker 22: If it sparks the thought, that changes the whole trajectory
Speaker 22: to what your life can evolve into. Because you took
Speaker 22: a second to listen to that shit, you are identifying
Speaker 22: with your blessing. You are identifying with your gift, and
Speaker 22: at that point you learn what the fuck it is
Speaker 22: and become one with it and walk in your purpose.
Speaker 19: Brow The key is time is precious. Now let me
Speaker 19: give your Bill Bailey's a description of time. Life is
Speaker 19: not just the passing of time. Life is not just
Speaker 19: the passing of time. Life is a collection of experiences,
Speaker 19: their frequency and their intensity. Life is not just watching
Speaker 19: the tick away. Life is a collection of experiences, their intensity,
Speaker 19: their frequency. When my friend Mark died at age forty four,
Speaker 19: so and says, that's young to die, But what if
Speaker 19: he lived four lifetimes in one might not be to you.
Speaker 19: So here's whatever the span of your life turns out
Speaker 19: to be.
Speaker 2: Here's what you want to fill.
Speaker 19: It up with experiences and the intensity of those experiences.
Speaker 12: And if you lose that, not only are you not
Speaker 12: going to be successful in life, you will also lose yourself,
Speaker 12: and you will. You'll be unhappy, you'll be unfield, you
Speaker 12: be alienated from who you are. And you can get
Speaker 12: away with that when you're young, because you're happy, you
Speaker 12: look good, you've got energy, things are going right. You
Speaker 12: get into your thirties and you're like everybody else. You
Speaker 12: don't know who you are and you don't know what
Speaker 12: you like anymore. You're just following the trends. You start
Speaker 12: to get to pressed and you start going down this
Speaker 12: rabbit hole and things can turn really ugly. So you
Speaker 12: need a bit of courage in life. You need to go, Okay,
Speaker 12: I am weird, I am strange, you know, lean into it.
Speaker 12: So when I had the forty eight Laws of Power
Speaker 12: when it first when I first wrote the book without
Speaker 12: being published yet, it was a very strange looking book,
Speaker 12: and it reflects my own strangeness. Things on the margins, stories,
Speaker 12: everything broken up, images, quotes here and there.
Speaker 19: And what a time now for us to take this
Speaker 19: dream and not let it die. Take this dream and
Speaker 19: give it life. Take this dream and breathe into it
Speaker 19: your own personal spirit until finally it becomes a flame
Speaker 19: that burns around the whole world.
Speaker 2: Let's go do it now.
Speaker 27: Well, Max, I think the greatest fear that we fe ourselves, Actually,
Speaker 27: I think it's it's not anything that's external or anything
Speaker 27: that's superficial. I think the greatest fear you faces yourself.
Speaker 27: Because we all have dreams, and it's very scary sometimes
Speaker 27: to accept the dream that you have, and it's scarier
Speaker 27: still to say okay, I want that. It's scary because
Speaker 27: you're afraid that if you put your heart and soul
Speaker 27: into it and you fail, then how are you going
Speaker 27: to feel about yourself?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 27: So, being fearless means putting yourself out there and going
Speaker 27: for it, no matter what, to go for it, not
Speaker 27: for anybody else, but for yourself.
Speaker 2: Then here's a philosophy that really changed for me.
Speaker 19: Everything be so busy giving other people recognition, you really
Speaker 19: don't need it for yourself. I learned to recognize people
Speaker 19: for small steps of progress, every little thing I can
Speaker 19: think of, figure out rewards for small steps.
Speaker 34: And what works is if you dedicate you your time
Speaker 34: and your focus like realistically with a professional, disciplined effort
Speaker 34: to creativity. Show up every day like a professional, but
Speaker 34: you show up to be creative if you just do
Speaker 34: it on a regular basis ideas will come to you.
Speaker 34: Where are these ideas coming from? Well, his concept was
Speaker 34: to think of it as you're a professional and you're
Speaker 34: getting these ideas from the muse, and as what you do.
Speaker 34: You show up and you do the work, you focus
Speaker 34: on it, and these ideas will come to you.
Speaker 12: And that little voice comes completely drowned out, and so
Speaker 12: you don't know who you are anymore, and you're afraid,
Speaker 12: particularly young people today, I mean maybe it's always been
Speaker 12: that way, are so afraid of being different, they're so
Speaker 12: afraid of being odd. But look at all the powerful
Speaker 12: people in this world. Look at your elon musks, look
Speaker 12: at your celebrities in entertainment, in business and politics. They're
Speaker 12: one of a kind. They have like you hate that word,
Speaker 12: but it's like a brand. They're different. They stand out
Speaker 12: for something that's truly different. You know, even Albert Einstein,
Speaker 12: there's nobody else like ants, and there's nobody liked it.
Speaker 12: Vin Sheet, Okay, that's where your power lies. And you'll go, oh,
Speaker 12: but Robert, those are people that were brilliant, that were talented.
Speaker 2: I'm not like that.
Speaker 41: I don't have that.
Speaker 12: Well, both you do have that. It's just you're forgetting
Speaker 12: about it. You don't want to put the effort into it.
Speaker 44: And there's no one more narcissistic than someone who's smart.
Speaker 2: And if you are smart, that's a real temptation. It's
Speaker 2: a real temptation. Can make you bitter as hell.
Speaker 44: The most bitter people are the smart people who aren't
Speaker 44: successful because they feel that there, yeah, their shining light
Speaker 44: wasn't given due course, and that the world should fall
Speaker 44: at their feet and didn't.
Speaker 2: The way the world works, you don't get a.
Speaker 44: Gift without a corresponding temptation, and intellect is certainly it
Speaker 44: has the same characteristic. You can go very spectacularly wrong
Speaker 44: if you're smart. And it's pride that.
Speaker 30: When you set a dream and you say this is
Speaker 30: what I'm going to do, I'm going to do this,
Speaker 30: I'm going to do that, and you make a plan
Speaker 30: and the plans are good. But if you come to
Speaker 30: a certain point where there's a tree across the road
Speaker 30: or the bridge is out, you can't say, well, there
Speaker 30: goes my dream. You've got to be flexible, Well what
Speaker 30: am I going to do? What adjustments am I going
Speaker 30: to make to be able to still get to where
Speaker 30: I'm going to be what I want? To be you
Speaker 30: need some flexibility, you need discipline, you need personal discipline.
Speaker 2: There's times when.
Speaker 30: You don't you don't feel like doing what needs to
Speaker 30: be done to get this, and but you've got to say,
Speaker 30: feelings has nothing.
Speaker 22: To do with it.
Speaker 30: This is my dream, this is what I'm going to do.
Speaker 21: Lots of people associate working hard with not making progress.
Speaker 21: That's all working feels like wasting.
Speaker 23: So the idea that working hard doesn't make progress is
Speaker 23: one of the biggest farces that exists in humanity, right.
Speaker 23: And so if there is anything that's eternal for us,
Speaker 23: at least as individuals, it's going to be who we
Speaker 23: become in the process. And so one of my favorite
Speaker 23: quotes is the work works on you more than you
Speaker 23: work on it. And so if you want to be
Speaker 23: the best in the world at something, you do the
Speaker 23: work to become the best in the world, and the
Speaker 23: work works on you. And so, I mean, there's a
Speaker 23: biblical property. I think it says like there is profit
Speaker 23: in all labor, and that means that even if the
Speaker 23: thing that you're working on right now doesn't amount to
Speaker 23: the outcome that you expected that it would, it doesn't
Speaker 23: mean that you don't become better through doing it.
Speaker 14: And so.
Speaker 43: The whole point of the human race and the human
Speaker 43: mind in it self is evolution, whether there's evolution spiritually, physically,
Speaker 43: period evolution. The purpose from birth is creation.
Speaker 14: That's all humans do.
Speaker 5: Everything around you was created.
Speaker 43: You were created, that table over there created, this chair created,
Speaker 43: this might create it, that camera created that had created.
Speaker 43: The whole point of the human race itself is creation.
Speaker 43: Before now, when there was at least ideally that the
Speaker 43: belief of two human beings on earth, everything after that
Speaker 43: was a creation and it self. The whole point is
Speaker 43: evolution and creation. If you're not evolving, you're doing something wrong.
Speaker 43: So anything that takes away the power of your mind
Speaker 43: is keeping you still and delaying your evolution. The whole
Speaker 43: point of life is evolution. Steady of your laws of
Speaker 43: the universe, the law of attraction, the law of abundance,
Speaker 43: the law of equivalence, change, study your laws, the laws
Speaker 43: of cause and effect, the karmic cycle. Study your laws,
Speaker 43: Dwell into your mind, meditate, Understand that you can alter
Speaker 43: your realms by your train of thought.
