  • And this NFL football player comes up to me and says Gog, lemme ask you a question

  • How do you keep that dog mentality? I said, "Lemme asked you a question. When you were younger...,

  • ,...what did you want to be?" He said "An NFL football player, but once I got there, I lost that dog mentality"

  • He had a finish line is playing guess what let you talk mentality I have a dog at home

  • He never gets full it's not enough you made it to the NFL

  • But not enough you made a 5k with a 10k and that you became a doctor

  • Be a better doctor. It's not enough you lost 50 pounds, go out there do something with it

  • Guess what? It's 109' out here. Guess what? It's not enough! STAY HARD

  • One day I was running and this guy passes me in a car... It's about 100 degrees out here 70% humidity

  • The guy comes back around looks at me and pull this car by me and says, "Why are you out here?"

  • I said, "Because you're not."

  • Sometimes your motivation needs to be because no one else wants to do it

  • We need doctors! We need dentists! We need teachers! We also need savages

  • This messes I do

  • Nothing everybody

  • Some want that soft bullshit about ," Do you have sunscreen on?" This message is dangerous. It's too hot

  • I'm not asking you to be like me. You do you!

  • Stay hard!

  • Your minds get softer! We do that shit every day in life

  • A lot of you are trying to find inspiration and motivation...,

  • ...with a depressed mindset. You'll find inspiration by not living in the grip of life

  • Neither leaving the grip of life to find inspiration

  • Put challenges in front of yourself and then you attack it! That's when you find inspiration

  • repetition every day stay hard

  • So the other day I got an email from this lady

  • She says she truly enjoyed my book, but as she read it, she thought I was this crazy

  • After she read it. She put the book down and started living a normal life

  • Just going back paying bills, going back to work complaining about shit

  • Two days later. She has time to think about the book and it scared her

  • she thought well, maybe this guy isn't crazy, and

  • that's what scared her the most. Maybe he's here trying to show us a real potential, what we're all capable of doing.

  • A lot of people like to put titles on other people. Who're doing extraordinary things

  • It makes them feel better about themselves. Gives 'em a get out of jail free card. I'm not crazy. I'm just not like you

  • In sports... there's a thing out there called "Load management"

  • A lot of us like to "Load manage" our lives

  • When you do that, you're gonna find yourself right at normal

  • Get off that and stay hard!

  • With success in life comes more haters

  • Don't make them hurt your feelings, use it for fuel, use them for energy

  • In times of need, put them on mental rolodex in your mind and we don't want to do shit

  • roll through your brain

  • Pull up that person who said you couldn't do something. "You weren't fast enough, good enough, smart enough!"

  • Use it for energy

  • instead of killing 'em with kindness

  • Torture them with success. In life, we have to continue pushing past the odds

  • Use everything this world has to give you for fuel stay hard

  • And anybody not just Navy says but anybody that can accomplish anything that is hard

  • The other separator is is that they really want to be there

  • There's some people that get inspired

  • and that inspiration moves them to try to do something, but the inspiration is

  • ...is very high right now in this nice environment.

  • We're in a nice environment. I watched a movie about some badasses you're inspired

  • but the second you're not in this environment

  • and you're actually doing

  • What inspired you that "suck factor" is NOT real

  • You're now "there" if only those people

  • who have been "there" a million times in their minds and

  • ...and have lived in that water and have suffered a million times and realized my legs may break

  • My knee may break, my bones will hurt.

  • I will be the coldest I've been in my life. I will be miserable and

  • Accept that me getting over situations in life your mind and media says get everybody's done even if you want to be there

  • But starts to have all these different questions in your mind that one second it says, okay

  • Why are you here why this and why that and then you started to say yourself

  • If you don't want to be there that bad

  • "I'm not gonna break my body up to do this!" Your mind starts to say "Yeah! this is stupid!"

  • But if you had if you are already knowing that this is going to happen to you. We have all the answers to these questions

  • That your mind starts to give you when you're at "Suffer mode"

  • Trying to be 10% better than you were last week

  • So you're running 30 miles a week? Run 33!

  • If you're swimming 500 meters, swim 550

  • The more you walk away from accountability

  • the weaker you become

  • Come find yourself in the grip of life. You can't find yourself by doing nothing

  • We've developed "Pockets of weakness" nowadays

  • And we try to fill these pockets with lies. I did it for many years

  • So... I'm here in Colorado for a conference. I go to the gym

  • This trainer calls me over to talk to this group of people he's training. He says "Hey, man?"

  • "What are you doing out here?" So I tell him, "look at what kind of workouts are you doing?"

  • "I'm climbing up this mountain!"

  • 3,000 feet for three miles. I'm doing it every day

  • So next day I'm out looking for him

  • Didn't see him. A couple days later, looking for him...

  • Didn't see him!

  • So here I am on the mountain again. Climbing it

  • There's a gondola that takes you up and takes you down

  • I'm going up it and I see the gondola about 5 minutes to the top. I look up at gondola

  • I see him face pressed up against the window looking at me our eyes meet

  • Don't talk about it, be about it

  • Practice what you preach

  • Stay hard!

  • I like suffering in the way that is

  • competitive

  • That brings out the absolute best in me and in everybody else. I want to see what you're made of

  • I want to see like almost like the Coliseum. Mm-hmm. In Rome

  • I mean you can't do it by writing the paper and I found out in the only message I'm gonna get across to people is

  • Once you change one thing...

  • "Your mindset"

  • You can attack everything

  • People know how do you keep grinding every day

  • You have to make those insecurities, those fears

  • Like when I was 300 pounds, I didn't have any "Drive". I was an insecure, lying kid... afraid.

  • I had to... look at my insecurities and

  • In my fear and find "Drive" in that. We're all looking for passion. Passion is all around you!

  • All the energy and fuel you need is right in yourself!

  • It's all there. You got a lot of stuff to do to overcome and you know

  • That's where I found it. I found it right there in my own insecurities.

  • I found "Drive" in my own insecurities

  • That's the most powerful thing in the world. When you can find Drive in your own

  • Doubt, Fear, Insecurities

  • You become very unstoppable.

  • I'm in a search for a feeling

  • I'm not in a search for a trophy

  • I'm not in search for love. I'm not in search for more followers on Instagram or social media

  • when I started this journey years ago and

  • I realized that I'm gonna be somebody and I'm searching for a feeling

  • a feeling of true victory for myself and

  • only myself the second I shut out the whole world and

  • realized that one thing that I am in this world alone.

  • I'm fighting this race by my seekest person on the planet Earth

  • my goal in life was

  • to in my mind believe I'm the hardest man alive

  • That's why the whole thing is can't hurt me

  • That's what it's about is about. Whatever you think you are

  • You have to make that dream a reality. That's where

  • the hard part is

  • There are lots of successful people in this world

  • who still feel empty inside

  • And they worry about still feeling empty

  • So they try to make another million...2 million...3 million

  • let's buy a new car, new house, new boat.

  • Let's buy more everything then at end of the day they still feel empty inside

  • for me...

  • I wasn't even successful. I was all empty

  • so I was trying to hide my insecurities.

  • You have to be "there"

  • Over but not there at the graduation

  • [Okay] ...you gotta be there in the worst part [The suffering] ...that you know all over and over again. You gotta live that in your mind

  • Just enough..., same thing with life

  • If you don't get inside your soul,

  • inside your heart and fix it

  • You will only go to war with yourself

  • Stay hard

And this NFL football player comes up to me and says Gog, lemme ask you a question
