  • Life is hard life is hard and people who are born into different situations. I about have a hard time appreciating

  • How hard it is for others?

  • Like like life life is really really short and I think that we don't value and appreciate you know our freedoms

  • and our opportunities

  • in our life

  • There are gonna always be obstacles

  • You're gonna have to either go around them go over them or go right through them, but you can't stop going

  • It's a hopeless feeling and you surround it around a bunch of hopelessness you

  • Have to be crazy and

  • Believing what your goal in your passion is because when something is crazy, even though it's crazy

  • You still do it, right? You know what I mean? And so that's what you have to become you have to become

  • Insane right so you could be smarter than me, but you were never gonna outwork the ever like for real

  • They are no quick quick answers to big problems like there just aren't it?

  • In life that things will go bad and

  • Things are going to go bad. This is not the first or the last time that's gonna happen

  • It's gonna keep happening. And that's just how life is

  • You'll be past this and you'll be okay and there is nothing for you to worry about here

  • We can be as human beings as people who are always right for the world or we can be just right for ourselves, right?

  • So we can just be honest about ourselves or we can put a display for the world

  • Nothing wrong with putting display of to the world. That's what gives you joy

  • But just be honest about videos because it's eventually it's all boils down to you and your story

  • It's not about more it's always about less it's only thin time you realize what less it is

  • Fear is a is a figment of our imagination right fear is created because of expectations right and I

  • learned this process early on is that every time I would get scared I would usually be scared because I have some

  • Future I have imagined there is something in the future that I think

  • Will happen because I will do this right now is why I'm scared of doing this, right?

  • You're about to jump off a plane. You think you're going to die

  • You don't consider you have a parachute or a person that is jumping with you, right? So

  • That's what you're scared of is why you want jump off a plane is because you think you will die

  • so I had

  • Firstly once you have an expectation of yourself, and you say hey, I don't need to have this expectation

  • I'm just living life as a play. It's a game. It's music. It's it's fun joy

  • I don't have an expectation of a particular outcome

  • Its it doesn't mean I'm discounting myself like that people can get confused with that like it's not that I'm saying

  • Oh

  • I don't want to be

  • Even more impactful in the world or a better version or more honest version of myself that journey will still continue

  • I just don't have that expectation. I'm not gonna be sad if that doesn't happen one day - chase. Let's enjoy the chase

  • Why do we have to kill ourselves in the if we don't get it? The chase is supposed to be fun

  • Life is flowing you can choose to change in this moment

  • You can choose to change it three years from now or 30 years from now and it will change the day you want to change

  • It right now once you know that you understand that goals can be timeless

  • Now the second part of that is if life is going to flow means on every moment basis

  • It's going to be different in a way, right? It's almost like

  • It's like a heartbeat or a river or music changes by the note, right? It's just changing all the time right this moment

  • It's different right energy changes our way. We react to things change although things change all the time

  • And if that's the case, what's the one thing that can define us or help us stay in a place of joy, right?

  • Because if life is gonna be up and down things will change and things will go bad and things will go right

  • There has to be something that becomes our anchor point. It can't always be that goal, which is so

  • arbitrary anyways

  • So what is it that can help us always be in that?

  • grounding state and be in a place of joy and being that floating state all the time to be able to go I'm pumped about

  • This I'm pumped about this moment doesn't matter how it shows up

  • I'm pumped about this right and that got me to the dialogue of saying

  • Maybe I need to find something that I can anchor into at all times things that actually give me joy all the time

  • Either you head in the direction you want to go or you go in no direction at all

  • Go into the world today and spend your time wisely make small wins

  • Every day that will lead you down the path to success

  • Motivation get you started but habit going

  • Motivation is great. It is like a coffee in the morning it gets the engine going and get you moving

  • But it is a habit that will develop your success is not an option

  • It's either I will or I won't I can I know I can

  • but I will or I won't you know and

  • That's the thing and in some cases

  • You may try your hardest and you just don't win or you don't pass a test or you don't succeed. That's part of life

  • Understanding, it's gonna take hard work discipline and and learning how to work with other people in order to get to the next level

  • The first rule is to love and respect everybody you come in contact with you're not going to agree with them

  • You're not gonna even know like them on some occasions, but you love them and you respect them

  • Number two is to be your best

  • You know if your best is a C on the test, even if it's D or F on the test

  • I would you know, you can never be disappointed if you know you gave it your all and

  • then

  • You know number three is we don't use the word can't

  • You know, it's not in our vocabulary. I was told my entire life. You'll never do this. You'll never do that

  • You can't do this you it's impossible for you to do that

  • when you tell somebody what they can do for some people that drives them, you know, because you know

  • I gonna tell me what I can or cannot do

  • But for other people when you tell them all you'll never be able to do that like that

  • That could be the breaking straw, you know in that back for that person. That's their spirit to actually go out and succeed

  • So I never tell my kids

  • If they come to me and they may have the most outrageous idea. I'll say all right, cool

  • Let's figure out how we're gonna do it. I never said I mean you can't doing that

  • As a work ethic you got to be passionate about whatever it is that you're gonna do whether it be

  • You know an artist

  • entertainer sports figure political like whatever it is should you decide to do in life you have to have

  • Any extreme work ethic? You gotta be willing to do stuff other people aren't willing to do

  • You have to have respect

  • The first thing I've taught my kids when they can understand it was how to shake somebody's hand

  • If you're if your agenda is to help make an impact on people's lives

  • And it shouldn't matter if your name's at the top of the banner. It shouldn't matter if you know your your gifts have certain

  • Name tags or whatever. However you want to do it

  • I'm super competitive. So

  • Nobody's gonna tell me what I can't do. I mean somebody don't even I can't sing but don't tell me I can't sing

  • So I'm gonna give you my best thing it possible. It's not that I can't sing

  • it's just I don't sing well, but you know I'm saying so it's like

  • For me. I always had a drive to

  • like

  • Not prove people wrong, but to prove gods, right? You know, God said he has great plans for me

  • So my grandmother passed away from

  • breast cancer in 1995

  • I was going to the hospice the woman that was her roommate per se

  • was very

  • She's from South you know, and she was very racist, you know, every time I come in the room she'd say

  • Oh, well that goes up boy. I had to do everything I could she you know, I

  • Knew I had grown because I didn't respond the way I probably should was one has she caught me a couple years earlier?

  • But

  • You know my grandmother after a few weeks my grandmother, you know, she reached over and pulled grab my arm

  • And she was like, you know, if I if I if I have to happen to die before

  • she does I want you to come back and see her and

  • I'm like

  • No, it's just not my girl mother talking right now

  • and so I you know

  • it should end up happening like three weeks after my grandmother said that my grandmother passed away and so my my grandmother I

  • Saw something at a time that I didn't really understand why she was doing it

  • but I went back and I go into this room and the lady's like I

  • Must sits up on her seat and she's just started bawling crying and this is the racist lady. Yes

  • And then she's like, I'm I'm so glad I got a chance to see you again

  • I thought I'd never see you again. You know, I apologize for how I treated you

  • You know, I've gone to church I've done so many things, you know in church. I've served the homeless, etc, etc

  • But I did I wasn't doing the one thing and I know that God would have approved of the most that's loving his people

  • and then she uh

  • She asked me if I can give her a hug and I said in my TED talk, you know

  • I was a little apprehensive about doing that because she

  • She could have you know saintly or something like that on the side

  • but uh

  • You know I hugged during that when I hugged her

  • She said yeah, you're like the son that I never had and I'm going okay

  • I never understand understand it at the time

  • I'm walking out and then the lady said, you know the lady's up front. They were like I was so beautiful to witness

  • because you know

  • Essentially the reason why she has so much anger towards you was because she kind of got dropped off

  • Which it happens a lot in nursing homes

  • Or you know care centers the family drop them off and she has two daughters and the daughters just couldn't handle

  • the

  • scene their you know their mom in that position and

  • My grandmother saw that before I would have ever saw it she just saw, you know an opportunity for

  • Even the the hardest of hearts to be changed even in their dying days

  • if you can have impact on somebody that you know

  • that way

  • Then just imagine what's going to happen when you do that to a complete stranger

  • And it may not be I love you and I believe in you it may be to action of showing me

  • You're worthy of nice clothes or nice pair of shoes or you're worthy of you're worthy of being able to go and enjoy a movie

  • In college, the more successful people are the one most of the time to people that are more well-rounded

  • You kind of have an appreciation for what other people do and whatever people gone through

  • But you can be inspired on any given moment any given day just talking to people

  • It doesn't get any easier you just get stronger

  • If you want to change don't expect your life to stay the same

  • Expected to get harder expected to actually get really really tough tougher than you can even imagine right now

  • And this is where you can move past the boundaries that used to hold you back

  • Used to hold you by the neck now, you can move towards the fulfillment. That's your future and this you see this

  • This is where you can finally feel the satisfaction of your work. This is when you finally get to feel that success

  • Now is the time for you to step up stand out and become the person you need to become

  • Your future is in your hands and this is what sets your life up to be worth the potential that you deserve

  • Your power is and always has been the thing that's gonna take you towards the life that you have earned

  • Don't fail yourself

  • Perseverance is the aspect that takes you towards the future worthy of your strength worthy of your progress

  • So take pride in that more than anything you

  • Have and you always will have this this potential to improve

  • This potential to adapt and this potential to change

  • This is what you've been working for

  • Go on and receive that

  • One mistake

  • Shouldn't hold you back for more than one day

  • The rise is the most important part of your progress the rise makes your future something different. It makes you you makes you strong

  • In the intelligence of that takes you to a power worth your future and value this this

  • Moment of pain is not gonna last forever unless you let it last forever

  • You don't need this, so don't let it happen

  • Change your perspective change your mindset to something always willing to grow always willing to take courage

  • Make this who you are and make this worthwhile

  • this power that you have is valuable because your future is valuable and your potential is

  • valuable

  • Your more than you could ever imagine and your power is stronger than you could ever imagine. This progress is gonna take time

  • But this opening to work

  • This opening that you have in this moment. It's not always open. So

  • Take it take it right now. Take it now before it's too late

  • You're more than your last minute. You're more than your last minute. You're more than your last mistake

  • Get prepared for the success

  • Get prepared for the progress

  • You can make this you make this power yours yours to keep forever because this is what you're gonna leave behind

  • This is what your legacy is made up of the moments when you get knocked down, but rise up over and over again

  • these are the building blocks of the legacy that you're constructing these moments when you push forward and rise up over and over again and

  • That is what brings you to the place where you thrive the place where you thrive and become better

  • People gave to me and my family and my mom and other kids in my situation when they had nothing to gain in return and

  • That's character. You know when when you

  • can

  • Give someone something and do something for somebody and it's really not about you. It's really about helping them

  • And you're not expecting anything in return

  • You have to set the precedence of like being

  • Authentic, you know, we live in a very, you know in often in the world where we don't do

  • Nearly as much as we could do

  • If we didn't have an agenda, I don't have an agenda

  • You know, my only agenda is is to literally change

  • Everybody's life that I could possibly change in one way or another being authentic and being me

  • Has has literally changed my whole life

  • Because people are really starving for truth. We talked ourselves into a lot. I'm tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired

  • You keep saying that you're gonna live a tired life

  • You don't want to be married to that person you don't want to be a friends with that person

  • You don't want to be led by that person who's constantly tired. So actually the people we really admire are not tired people

  • They're actually energized people who love and have energy to give and value to give

  • If you're not living it don't shout it from the rooftop

  • Everyone does not have to believe what I believe but I want everyone to feel like they matter

  • They have purpose they have someone who loves them

  • We're listening to them care for them before you know it, you know

  • We could have a lot less lonely people in the world, and that would be pretty awesome

  • Share with people what's really changed your life and what you're really living out and your words will have a lot more power. I

  • Actually think we're suffering from a lack of love on a grand scale on an epic scale it might be

  • The greatest epidemic in the world. Maybe it always has been

  • I think things

  • Horrific things like racism are symptomatic of the fact. We don't feel loved

  • We don't feel like we matter. We don't feel like we're valued and so we devalue each other and we fight and we war

  • Most people don't say what they want in life where they want to go who they want to be

  • They take it as it comes which is really disturbing and sad but it's true wait

  • Like for instance, we take friendships as they come

  • We just like well, I guess we kind of met and you like juice boxes and I like juice boxes

  • so let's just hang out and like, you know talk about Capri Sun or whatever and I think we ought to be

  • More intentional and and be honest. What do I want? What kind of friends do I want? What kind of life do I want?

  • And then I think speak that out. First of all, like declare that be honest recently

  • I did an exercise again back to our team and they said why do we exist Judah? Why do you exist?

  • Why do we exist?

  • not the answer you think you're supposed to give but the answer like the truth of what you want and why you exist and

  • Creating a safe space with the people that you intentionally have have chosen your life to go

  • All right, we're gonna like we're gonna get bare-bones honest here. This is actually what I want in life

  • This is actually why I exist and then and then we've got to like hold each other accountable to that like bro

  • You can't wake up at 11 p.m. Every day if that's what you want

  • And I think there's a that's why I'm a big proponent of community

  • I don't think people can be who they're supposed to be without community and community doesn't have to be 10,000 people

  • It can be five. It can be three

  • It can be the right people not just a bunch of people, but the right people, you know

  • It's been said show me your friends. I'll show you your future that gets where it's real

  • I can tell you where you're going right now by the people you're hanging out with on consistent places

  • We are you know, so often our own worst enemies right we we keep ourselves

  • you know off the stage, you know for fear of bad reviews and

  • Don't even realize that you know in the process we're you know

  • Forgetting how to dance and losing the joint it right and it's just such a shame

  • We're all masters of our own universes right alone in our own worlds, and I certainly think everybody

  • You know should figure it out

  • You should figure it out for yourself because time is gonna go by either way and you know

  • You could live a life of happenstance of reaction

  • You know

  • Or you can take some time to figure out how you want to spend your time who you want to be who you want to?

  • Be at work

  • you know you want to be as a parent who you want to be as a spouse and on and on and on and and

  • You know, you can you can try to be that person you try to live that way

  • so that's what I have in mind when I say, you know, you really

  • Should define your success your purpose and labor towards it

  • Everything is a choice. Every moment of your life is a choice

  • How do you want to spend that moment who you want to be? It is not the circumstances. We confront

  • That dictate the lives we experience. It just cannot be there are counter examples all over the place

  • Choose to be happy literally in every moment

  • And again, I'm not saying it's easy again, and I'm not you know, I'm not saying is always easy for me

  • But it's certainly a worthwhile endeavor. I mean, you know you

  • spill on yourself or you you knock something over or you know, you're late for a meeting or

  • You know, it can be rail you it can be

  • You know something quote-unquote awful would you know, meanwhile most of the world is worried about you know?

  • health care and food and clothing

  • But you know or you can choose to laugh about it and you can choose to have fun with it

  • you can choose to let it go and

  • again, every I think every moment is

  • You know an amalgam of precisely those choices and I think it behooves us to spend some time thinking about our answers

  • You know, you're the master of your reality and you know

  • Once you buy that once you're willing to take responsibility for the fact that you are literally creating

  • The life you are experiencing. The reality your reality is your creation and not enough time on this moment right now

  • What is my best next step? What can I do right now to make progress and

  • You know, the truth of the matter is the world changes, you know a million times a day

  • You're gonna change a million times a day

  • who knows what's gonna happen on the journey from you know from A to Z just focus on getting from A to B and

  • Get that done and we'll worry about coz later

  • Every single, you know human being every human faces their own discrete constellation of a

  • Challenge as part of the human condition. There's nothing special or unique in facing these

  • These big challenges or obstacles

  • But how we handle it and then how we choose to look at them?

  • That makes all the difference in the world life is choice

  • And I said if you keep if you tell yourself you're gonna live this small on the remarkable pathetic life and you're you know not

  • Gonna love or respect yourself and you know, you're not gonna find a mate not

  • You can make that happen for yourself, or you can choose to have a different life

  • There's one way you should see life

  • Life is an opportunity you

  • Have this opportunity for reason that reason is to succeed

  • succeed for past fears past doubts pass your insecurities

  • Empowering yourself toward the finish line

  • Now is the time to make this opportunity your opportunity is more than this

  • It's your potential to succeed use your potential use it as your superpower because that's what it is

  • power power to succeed to achieve

  • How badly do you want something how much do you want there's only one way to get it it's to work hard

  • you know a

  • casual thing to do

  • You know once you get that taste of victory and you're like wow well, maybe well I want to keep going on this path

  • Set goals for myself. That's a huge one set the goal of like what do you really want to do?

  • Like what's what is it in the end for me? I would always set up like a fun goal and then like a serious goal

  • You know, even those slight step backs are actually you know to leap forward in a way, you know

  • Cuz how are you gonna know where you lay in the whole?

  • You know field of things and what's going on is to take a step back and then go okay you reassess refocus

  • You know, and I've been to contests before where I really wanted to win

  • I put everything on the line for that event

  • And I didn't win and I went like man you put too much pressure on it. You know, you did this you did that

  • I you know, there's such thing as over practicing too, you know, a lot of guys show up at the competitions and they

  • You know, there's two hours to ride they ride from there

  • The first one there at the gate they ride two hours and then you know the Atlanta there run, you know

  • 15 perfect runs and then they get to the contest and they fall I'm like, yeah

  • Cuz even you just nailed it 15 - you know, it's like rolling dice. You're gonna hit

  • seven, but you're gonna crap that and and

  • You know like save it for the for the real contest like, you know, you got it

  • You got a you know be your own friend in that that's area

  • In that in that moment of like well, I put in the work and it's the actual like that's what you're going for

  • And yeah

  • you said in business you can fail here and there and it's the same idea of like trying something over and over and just

  • Finally cracking the code on it. And then once you get that win you get that experience and know that you can't succeed

  • it's it's that that like I said in competition that seed of doubt goes away and

  • You show up to win every time it just that's the only option, you know

  • And and and once that's the only option it's even more obtainable

  • You know you have that in you and

  • Projecting that positive thing always just leads to the better outcomes either way

  • you know and and and even with pressure as well when when people say like how do you deal with the pressure and

  • I'm just so thankful for the pressure, you know

  • Like they're like everybody thinks you're gonna win the Olympics and I go well if everybody thinks I'm gonna win

  • That's great. Like that's that's a lot of people believing in me thinking that I can do it

  • Hey, maybe I just might be able to do it

  • You know if you instead of letting it weigh me down like oh my God

  • All these people are expecting this for me and and I'm expecting this from myself and it's just too much

  • I can't hit like no, it's such a it's a blessing. It's a great thing to have people

  • Counting on you and needing that and it's all kind of leading up to that sort of like, you know

  • You can win you've felt it before you you know, what's obtainable everybody else believes in you?

  • It's like you're team rather than letting it weigh you down

  • So if you can kind of put that subtle spin on things and use it to your advantage. It's always a better scenario

  • and you keep trying to better your craft and

  • And then within that there's a team element got to know your strengths and your weaknesses

  • It's kind of like knowing yourself as well and knowing your strengths and your weaknesses and and kind of sticking to that

  • What are you really good at? And what are you not and and

  • Being real and honest with yourself about it. There's a difference between like working hard

  • It's something that you're not good at and forcing it and that's kind of the inner question. You have to ask

  • Positivity can change the outlook of your whole day your productivity increased work rate

  • increases where your life falls into place with one switch of

  • perspective one change of attitude on just one day can change your whole future

  • Your future is in your hands and this is what you can achieve

  • Just keep going

  • When it hurts, just keep going when you fail

  • Just keep going and when you fall just keep going when you want to give up

  • Just keep going when your luck is done. Just keep going. Don't stop. Just keep going

  • Don't wait. Just keep going

  • No matter what

  • keep moving

  • Stopping is for quitters if you lose

  • It's okay, as long as you keep going and as long as you keep moving

  • But if you lose and you stop then you have failed you're relentless

  • You will push push farther than before climb higher and crime the heights

  • You've not seen because progress is progress. It doesn't matter if you move forward ten percent or

  • 0.01 percent as long as you move forward as long as you do this day in and day out because above everything else

  • Consistency is key. If you consistently take small steps one day you're gonna look back and see just how far you've come

  • Today can transform to become something with potential all it takes is a smile

  • Seeing life from a different angle you have this power now is the time to become someone

  • You know someone you trust someone you can believe in

  • Today right now is the foundation for progress

  • Progress takes you towards a future where you succeed succeed towards a life better than best

  • This attitude takes you to a place full of potential

  • This is the time to finally succeed a place full of potential

  • This is where it begins

  • You know

  • I always see those guys who come in to the gym and they work intensely for just one three hour session and then I

  • Never see him again. I see the guy getting up at 4:00 a.m. For a week

  • And then he never does it again

  • But the guy who trains one hour a day consistently all year

  • Beats the other guys the guy who wakes up at 6 a.m. Every morning

  • Consistently beats the other guy. It's about consistency

  • consistently moving

  • forward

  • Little steps every day over the year. It's gonna add up

  • Small moves in the direction of your goal every day are going to add up light up your day

  • Become something become something of substance

  • Change takes work work

  • Hard work work that directs you towards your future fueled on success your success

  • For this to happen the work starts now your life starts. Now. This is where everything

  • finally falls into place

  • Everything defined by you and only you

  • Soon you're gonna be where you want to be, but you must keep moving forward

  • You can't stop and you can't stand still

  • You've got to keep pushing and you got to keep going and you have to be the clock

  • you're always running you are always consistent and

  • Constant, you're not a quitter. You are not a stopper

  • You are a winner because you never give up you will succeed because you're moving in the right direction

  • Take this risk for your future for a life full of strength a life with a future

  • That is worthy of your work

  • Yesterday I had a long

  • Time to think about my life

  • So I sat down and I wrote a list

  • Thought of all the dreams I've ever had from the earliest memory I've ever had and I stared at this list that I made

  • fantasy or not

  • so I made a promise to myself I

  • Knew I had to achieve as much as I possibly could I knew I could start today with a different purpose than yesterday

  • Do you know you're why?

  • Because I had everything I could ever need to check out these goals it was so simple, you know what it was

  • belief, I

  • Now had the drive the drive to make it through the list to take off each goal day by day

  • How about tomorrow? You make the same list I have

  • tomorrow before you even had the chance to wake up grab a piece of paper and a pen and

  • Basically write them down take the burden out of your head and then I want you to stare at them

  • Look at them face to face stand up to your fears

  • Use this list as your superpower

  • Every day look at this list to inspire you

  • Use this list to drive you forward feel the satisfaction of crossing them out ticking them off and completing your goals

  • Make this list your power the power that you need to succeed the power

  • You need to move so far past your potential that you become the person you never thought you could become

  • Make it past your fears make it through your boundaries make it past the rejection the regret and change

  • You are more than what you achieve

  • Because you are the person that has grown

  • The person with the determination to make it past the list you originally made to complete the goals. You thought were unimaginable

  • And that lights gonna get better if you believe it will

  • There just having that blind faith that you know, whatever is happening to you right now it's meant to happen for you

  • for a greater good and I know it's gonna it's tough right now for you to hear that but

  • You can you look at it two ways you can you look at it that this is like what was me?

  • this is gonna happen this happening to me and I'm going to

  • You know blame everybody else and respond in a way that's gonna make my life worse

  • Or I can acknowledge that I'm using the situation to become a better version of me to be able to help other people going forward

  • and I think with that it kind of gives you a positive approach to it where they can look at it and say

  • You know what? Like I'm going through this pain right now. I acknowledge

  • I'm going through it, but it's gonna be make me make me one hell of a man growing up and that

  • Ultimately is gonna save my ass, you know as I grow up

  • You got yourself here you're here right now and

  • you can you know man up and do what you need to do to get better or you can be a

  • Cry in the corner blaming everybody for your problems say what was me?

  • And I think sometimes in our lives when we're feeling that hopelessness

  • We're in that rat race of just feeling sorry for ourselves and saying your life is never gonna get better

  • it's tough and I think especially we don't believe have that belief in ourselves when somebody says I believe in you and you can do

  • It and I'm gonna help show you the way to get you started

  • I was like, I never had anybody do that to me before that unconditional love. I just felt like this void being filled

  • Whether we believe we can we believe we can't right

  • it's the same answer and for me, I always believed that I couldn't I'm not going to be able to do it on that and

  • Your your own direction

  • Your your own power and your your own beginning?

  • This is the power that you deserve and the power that honestly you should trust

  • Remember your life is in your control

  • not anybody else's a lot of people are gonna tell you to do this or do that or say

  • I'm just a part of my environment. That's not true in your hands

  • This very moment is your journey the journey that allows you to be someone fueled by your potential

  • Keep going. Keep going keep going. Now. Is it the time to wait now isn't the time to waste?

  • Let this be the power that takes you towards your success. This is the opportunity you've earned

  • This is the potential you've always had

  • step out of the crowd and step into your success and

  • I think in life we can't change the past right we can only learn and grow from it

  • So there's no sense in like harping on the mistakes. You made they're done

  • Like I always say fail more because if you never made a mistake

  • It means you never tried if you never tried. It means you never took a chance

  • That you never took a chance never believe in yourself. You never had faith and faith. We need faith

  • You need to believe in yourself and it doesn't matter how many times you failed

  • What matters is you keep getting up every day and trying again and that's what really is

  • Important knowing that you know each day you have an opportunity to change. Keep going keep going

  • Keep going

  • Take the risks that allow you to become something more that allow you to change your view on life that allow you to look through

  • a different pair of eyes

  • one that grants you the power to see something and then know how to change it to look at life as an

  • Opportunity an opportunity to feel like somebody new someone with the potential that to keep keep moving forward

  • We're not defined by our circumstance, we're defined by the choices we make in response to our circumstances

  • And I think people don't they don't like to look at pain. Like they don't people like you're afraid of pain

  • They don't want to be hurt they want to be coddled and they want this they want that pains great, man

  • And I think we need to change the way we view pain because pain

  • Can really be the catalyst for purpose. I mean you think about working out, right?

  • One of the things I love about Fitness is how it can be

  • Such an influential part in so many other areas your life. You have to fail to grow stronger

  • You have to fail to run faster. You have to be in pain

  • And so using that pain to get better and you grow from it

  • Graft until you feel pain

  • Rise from your toes up to the highest point of your head not until then will you know?

  • You've made it made it past the fear past failure and towards achievement

  • You are in the right place. Your place is here

  • This is where it all starts where your life finally falls into place where you don't just see progress

  • You become it. You have it you feel it within you this is when you know, you've made it when you know, you've grown

  • Trusting the process being patient if they're they're not seeing results as fast as they want

  • Quitting isn't gonna help them get there

  • So I just try to help them see that just change their mindset change their perspective be grateful

  • you know be as positive as you can be because I

  • Think positivity is one of those

  • It's like one of those buzz words now

  • I'd be positive be this be that

  • What you can't be positive at everything cuz there's some things in life that suck that you got to do look at be like well

  • I'm a hundred pounds overweight like that sucks

  • But I think the key is being

  • positive about the way you're going about doing things what changes things is if you're pessimistic and negative you're not gonna do and I think

  • So many people are afraid to look at themselves in the mirror and realize that there's a problem

  • like they realize that they're the ones complaining and moaning and that them being coddled and

  • Sugarcoating everything is the reason that they're not getting anywhere life

  • Reaching a goal sucks takes a lot of hard work

  • But not achieving the goal sucks even more. So choose your suck. Do you want to suck?

  • I'm not achieving it or do you want to suck by working hard putting in passion putting in?

  • Disciplined commitment and hard work and then achieving something

  • And that's how you build confidence is, you know tackling things

  • you never thought you could do trying things and failing and getting back up and keep them going and keep them going and

  • Like it doesn't matter how many times you get punched in the mouth it matters

  • How many times you fight back and I think a lot of times Tom like I love this analogy because it relates to so many

  • people in in a fight if

  • You and I were to sit here and I were just - you were to start punching me at random sucker punching me like when

  • I stand here let you beat the piss out of me like I would hope not right but in life

  • We went like beat the piss out of us and we make our circumstances even worse by

  • when a negative event happens we get depressed we feel pity for ourselves and we turn to quick fixes like drugs alcohol and it makes

  • our situation worse

  • so when you unpack the layer and you give that tough love of saying

  • You know what like need to change like you need to look at yourself in the mirror and stop being a victim

  • Stop blaming other people and take ownership for yourself and stop waiting for other people to fix your life

  • What is it that you're waiting for? How much do you want it ask yourself this what's more valuable?

  • Waiting or your time your power and your action

  • This is where your journey starts

  • This is where you grow grow adapt improve to become the person you admire

  • This is you. This can be you

  • I

  • Think our belief system about ourselves can be so like hijacked

  • Based on what people others say about us and then we start to believe it whether it's like, you know, you're ugly

  • You're a pussy. You suck. You suck. You're unathletic you're on that and then sure enough. It happens over years

  • You start to believe that about yourself if you have no confidence in who you are and I think the more you can own who?

  • You are and just chase after your own dreams and stop worrying about everybody else

  • Then those things start to become lies when people are say you know

  • What your pieces you suck when you know, if you know about yourself like that, that's not true. I mean, that's what self-love is

  • It's just really knowing truly inside of you who you are

  • Why thank you

  • I look at your why like why you're doing it cuz I think when you have a strong enough why like the what's in the

  • House becoming irrelevant you remember like why you started?

  • Because I think we spend so much time worrying about what everybody else is doing

  • We've lost track of who we are as a person right and just looking within

  • Whether that's in meditation or prayer or journaling to really figure out like the things we like the people we like, you know

  • where we like going and all that stuff and then

  • Kind of filter that into your life organically in order to get where you're going. You gotta know where you're at. Keep going

  • Keep going. Keep going. You have this power

  • Communicate your problems communicate the power you know that you have this is the beginning of your power the start of your progress

  • This is where it starts this is where you become something something better than now where you build a life for yourself

  • One where you hold the reins where you make the final cut where you have that power

  • This risk is what will take you in the direction where you control your life at last?

  • So you have to deliberately practice the weaknesses and make them as strong as you can

  • While also practicing your strengths and making those the top of your performance. Most people are too lazy to do that

  • They just want to practice everything or they don't want to even bother to figure out which piece is the most important

  • You have to dig the well before you're thirsty and you have to give without the attachment to getting something in return

  • so when people want to reach out

  • Stop thinking about what's in it for you

  • Start thinking about only what's in it for other people and if you don't worry about what's in it for you

  • You will find opportunities that come later down the line and to sort of illustrate this

  • when I moved to LA I had a toothache and it started to get more and more painful and it

  • Really was starting to just dig into my brain. I couldn't think I didn't have a car and moved from New York

  • This is pre uber I didn't have dental insurance because I was 27 and you know

  • Who cares about your teeth right you think about those later? I'll get new ones

  • And so I started to desperately call dentists and they were like look

  • I don't take new patients or I can see you in a week. Go to the ER if you have a toothache

  • And I'm thinking a week. I haven't slept, you know, this thing is killing me. So I post it on Facebook

  • And obviously I didn't have my privacy settings set correctly because of random stranger

  • Filled in the comment and said my aunt's a dentist near you. Do you want me to give a recall? I said sure

  • Yeah, so I went to his aunt the next morning before they officially opened got that thing drilled the hell out

  • Got it filled. She didn't overcharge me. I send this guy a message. Thank you so much. He goes, no problem, man

  • I don't know what you do

  • I heard you have some show that my friend likes

  • But I'm glad you got your tooth taken care of and I said let me know if there's anything I can do

  • He said well, I'm a graphic designer, but I'm working at a cafe right now as a barista

  • I would love to just not make another cup of coffee again, and I said well, I don't have any work for you

  • But I'll keep my ear to the ground said whatever you can do. No problem

  • I don't expect you to give me a job four days later. Another entrepreneur friend of mine

  • She writes me and says my web guys are blowing it. I keep firing them who can create good branding for me

  • I said I've never worked with this guy but here's a portfolio. He's a nice person

  • That's really all I can say that guy got a full-time job as far as I know still works there years later

  • designing websites and templates and themes and branding for this woman's company because he helped me find a dentist on

  • Facebook so if he'd been thinking, how do I get a job?

  • He would never have made that in to a dentist because there the connection the nexus is unclear the opportunity lie over the horizon

  • But since he was helping without the attachment or expectation of anything in return

  • He ended up finding an opportunity through me that I didn't know about and that he didn't know about

  • but you won't find those unless you were constantly reaching out digging the well before you're thirsty and giving without that expectation of

  • Anything in return? Keep going keep going keep going

  • we all have potential so

  • What's stopping you?

  • What we have to do is figure out where to

  • Channel it and what are those steps? There's no gatekeepers to capital anymore. There's no exclusive

  • Country Club or college or this or that and

  • We're all interconnected. So it doesn't matter whether in a big city or in Botswana. You can still reach six billion consumers

  • What's stopping you

  • That fear of bail

  • That oh, if I fail, what will people say failing is a great thing failing teaches you what doesn't work

  • Failure is throwing in the towel. So

  • you take that job to be secure you go for that big fortune 500 company and

  • Most unfortunate 500 companies go out of business. There's less than 10% of them

  • What's stopping you that's amazing statement of the original list. So it's not the security that's robbing ambition

  • It's the illusion of security of the Rob's ambition. So the biggest risk you can take in life

  • It's not taking one

  • If you're at that point where your middle career and you lost your job?

  • Or you're just out of college and starting or just out of high school

  • Go talk to senior citizen about what they really regret about their lives

  • And it's not what they fail that it's what they didn't try

  • It's the regrets of why didn't I so if you try something and you fail you learn a skill set for something else?

  • As people have problems in their lives and most people sit there and dwell on the problems or they relive yesterday every day you spend

  • living

  • Yesterday's problem you're giving up your future. It makes no sense. But if you say I have problems

  • All right. Am I unique? Am I the only one that has these problems and the answer probably is no, okay

  • So find a problem that a lot of people have

  • Solve it, and that's all the being entrepreneurs

  • That's all the business person is. The more problems you have in your life the more successful you'll be

  • What's stopping you dozens of your friends become billionaires? We weren't brighter. We didn't go to the right schools. We can't do anything. What happened?

  • The world changed. Well the world's continuing to change

  • We have self-made billionaires in their 20s happening almost monthly. They've the same 24 hours a day that you and I do

  • What are they doing different? What are they doing that can be learned from and copied and emulator to solve a different problem

  • And if you're not motivated by money

  • How to use these same tools to change the world because the world's got left

  • What else is a problem that you aren't identifying because you've accepted that's the way it gives that's way to always be

  • What are you passionate about and what affects the most people?

  • all the big

  • Famous people that you hear about, you know

  • Richard Branson and Steve Jobs and and and Zuckerberg and I read they're no different than you are

  • right

  • 77% of the billionaires are self-made, so

  • You can achieve this now. It's not going to be easy. You don't just wake up on Tuesday and become rich on Wednesday

  • but it doesn't take any more effort than

  • going to a job that you hate and

  • Unless you believe in reincarnation you got one shot on this planet

  • one shot so

  • don't you want to make a difference don't you want to

  • Leave something behind and make the planet better than you found it

  • Why are you here? What do you want to accomplish with your life?

  • And it doesn't have to be being Rennicks and it doesn't have to be money oriented the same principles and disrupt you

  • You can change the educational system. You can change healthcare. I mean, I am humbled by what I'm seeing

  • People create around the world with so little but we are on this ball together

  • We can solve problems together. We can make a better future together. You know, it's an optimistic story

  • That you get to write your piece of the story. I mean

  • Why wouldn't people want to?

  • Push their potential so aim for the stars of you to make it all the way you made it to the moon, you know

  • I had and

  • Everyone should spend their time trying to be around people that you feel are smarter than you that doesn't necessarily mean more educated you

  • Don't have to be the best be the best of what you do or the

  • only one doing it because if you're the only one doing it to be the best and

  • That's a lot better than competing

  • And then at some point we become a national settlers that just settle for the way it is

  • we gotta get more of that pioneer thing because

  • There's so much abundance and it's not an us-versus-them

  • Everybody can benefit why wouldn't you want that? What's stopping you?
