-
Let me tell you something you already know.
-
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
-
It's a very mean and nasty place
-
and I don't care how tough you are
-
it will beat you to your knees and keep
-
you there permanently if you let it.
-
Life is tough, that's a given.
-
When you stand up, you're gonna be shoved back down.
-
When you're down, you're gonna be stepped on.
-
My advice to you doesn't come with a lot of bells and whistles.
-
It's no secret, you'll fall down, you stumble,
-
you get pushed, you land square on your face.
-
Life is scary. Get used to it.
-
There are no magical fixes,
-
it's all up to you.
-
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
-
But it ain't about how hard you're hit.
-
It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward
-
How much you can take and keep moving forward
-
That's how winning is done!
-
A lot of people in this world, search endlessly
-
for some complex, magical formula to understand
-
why some people are successful
-
and why others are not.
-
Greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive,
-
god-like feature that only the special among us will ever taste.
-
It's something that truly exists, in, all of us!
-
The heaviness of being successful,
-
was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again.
-
I'm convinced the only thing that kept me going,
-
was that I loved what I did.
-
You've got to find what you love.
-
There's a certain delusional quality,
-
that all successful people have to have.
-
When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe,
-
then you'll be successful.
-
The only thing you care about when you trying to breathe is to get some fresh air.That's it!
-
And when you get to the point where all you wanna do is be is successful
-
as bad as you wanna breathe then you will be successful.
-
but what is most important is don't be afraid to fail
-
you can't always win but don't be afraid of making decisions
-
You might never fail on the scale I did,
-
but some failure in life is inevitable.
-
It is impossible to live without failing at something,
-
unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all
-
in which case you have failed by default.
-
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like:
-
'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.'
-
It made an impression on me,
-
and since then, for the past 33 years,
-
I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself:
-
"If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"
-
Because Almost everything
-
all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure
-
these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
-
Remembering that you are Going To Die
-
is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking
-
you have something to lose.
-
distinctly different about me is
-
I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill.
-
You might have more talent than me,
-
you might be smarter than me,
-
But if we get on the treadmill
-
there's two things:
-
You're getting off first,
-
or I'm Going To Die!
-
It's really that simple.
-
i'm gonna give him two minutes and i'll finish him.
-
then i promise he won't make it 2 to 3 minutes
-
in the kickboxing ring with me this time.
-
Its like you have to save your own life
-
nobody's going to be able to save it for you.
-
So we have to do what we have to do,
-
no matter what it is!
-
this is what i believe
-
and i willing to die for it
-
Period!
-
No matter how bad it is...or how bad it gets
-
I'm going to make it!
-
say that to yourself everyday.
-
our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
-
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
-
i'm motivated by fear.
-
What we are trying to do, during all these discussions and talks here,
-
is to see if we cannot radically bring about a transformation of the mind.
-
not accept things as they are.
-
But to understand it, go into it, examine it,
-
give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have, to find out
-
a way of living differently.
-
That depends on you, and not on someone else,
-
because in this there is no teacher, no pupil
-
there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour.
-
You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader,
-
you are everything!
-
And to understand is to transform what is.
-
You know, when you get old, in life
-
things get taken from you.
-
I mean, that's... that's... that's a part of life.
-
But, you only learn that when you start losin' stuff.
-
You find out life's this game of inches.
-
On this team we fight for that inch.
-
On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us
-
to pieces for that inch.
-
We claw with our fingernails for that inch.
-
Because we know when add up all those inches,
-
that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing!
-
Between living and dying!
-
I'll tell you this, in any fight
-
it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch.
-
Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth.
-
But ya gotta be willing to take the hits,
-
and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be
-
because of him, or her, or anybody!
-
Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!
-
And I know, if I'm gonna have any life anymore
-
it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch
-
because that's what living is!
-
the six inches in front of your face.
-
We get one opportunity in life. One chance in life
-
to do whatever you're gonna do.
-
To lay your foundation. To make whatever mark you're gonna make.
-
whatever legacy you're gonna leave. Leave your legacy.
-
And it's found through effort.
-
Wins and losses come a dime a dozen.
-
But effort? Nobody can judge effort.
-
Because Effort is between you and you. Effort aint got nothing to do with nobody else.
-
So that team that think they ready to seen you?
-
They think what they seen on film.
-
They ain't saw what film shows.
-
Because every day is a new day.
-
Every moment is a new moment.
-
So now you got to go out and show them that you a different creature
-
Now!
-
now than I was five minutes ago.
-
Cause I'm pissed off for greatness.
