What do you think most people get wrong about motivation?
-
They think it is a permanent fix.
-
Nothing is permanent.
-
And a lot of times you have to learn to perform without motivation.
-
You have to learn to perform without purpose.
-
You have to learn to perform a lot of different things.
-
That's what people think, they think I need to have this motivation.
-
To work out, to study, to be better.
-
So if they don't have it, they just don't fucking do it.
-
And that's where you fail.
-
You have to learn to train your mind well beyond motivation.
-
If you have motivation, that's great.
-
That's some kindling to the fire.
-
All it takes is a little bit of fucking spark, you can burn a whole forest up.
-
But motivation, you have to learn to exist without it, you have to learn to be your best self when you're least motivated.
-
And discipline is good too, but without a clear head space, there is no discipline.
-
What do you mean?
-
So, let's say we have a circuit breaker.
-
And I'm loading everything up to one fucking circuit, just load it up.
-
It is going to fucking blow.
-
Discipline is great, motivation is great, but if you can't fit shit in your brain because it's all fucking cluttered with shit.
-
But if you can't fit shit in your brain because it's all cluttered with shit, there's no discipline.
-
I call it my, I call it mental zones.
-
Basically is you're organizing your mind.
-
So you can put that discipline.
-
So a lot of people talk about discipline.
-
Okay great, why do you fall off the fucking wagon?
-
Why can't I continue with this routine?
-
Going to the gym, being better, waking up early, eating the right foods.
-
It's because maybe it's your kids, maybe it's your wife, maybe it's your job.
-
And it's all just stuck in your fucking brain.
-
You don't have it compartmentalized and organized in these nice shelves.
-
Hey, where are my dumbbells?
-
Right there.
-
A lot of people whose brain, hey where's my dumbbells?
-
Uh, let me look, they're fucking throwing shit, they're looking through totes, it's all fucked up.
-
What does a morning look like for you at the moment?
-
Have you got a routine of some kind?
-
Yes, I run every single morning.
-
So that's, what time you up?
-
When you waking up?
-
I'm up about 5:00, 5:30.
-
So every morning starts with a run.
-
And that's because that's the one thing I hate to do more than anything in the world.
-
So that's like my cup of coffee.
-
And I'm all about armoring yourself.
-
So the second you leave your house, the second you open your phone.
-
The second you do any of that shit, you are now letting them poison and cancer.
-
So as I get up, I start to armor plate my mind and body, like a person's going to war.
-
You put your body armor on.
-
That's what I'm doing on that run.
-
I'm waking up and I'm giving myself all this armor.
-
So when I come out in the world, look at that phone, I'm ready.
-
So after the run, I come home, I eat something small.
-
How long is the run typically at the moment?
-
Nowhere under 12 miles.
-
So 12 miles is the minimum.
-
But where do you go to, you wake up on a morning, it's cold, it's wet, it's dark, you've got no cartilage in your knee, you've got bad shorts, whatever it is that's the issue today.
-
Keep talking.
-
You've got these problems, right?
-
I need you to keep talking about what you were just saying.
-
It's warm on the couch.
-
Your Mrs says stay in bed, it's comfy, it's cozy.
-
That's it.
-
You've got work later on.
-
That's it.
-
You're slightly hung over.
-
I know every motherfucker ain't going to do what I'm going to do.
-
So this is how you level up.
-
That's how you level up.
-
I know there's a whole bunch of people with that right there.
-
That fires me up, that makes me fucking happy what you just said.
-
That brings joy to my life right there.
-
Why?
-
Because I know there are so many people that have the ability and just refuse to get off that couch.
-
Refuse to study a few more hours, refuse to go deeper, to go further.
-
And that's where I gained the advantage.
-
It's so easy to be great nowadays my friend because most people are weak.
-
Most people don't want to go to that extra mile, most people don't want to find that extra.
-
Cause it sucks, it's miserable, it's lonely.
-
You talked about that you were kind of, you know, lonely by yourself.
-
I was the same way.
-
And that used to hurt me growing up.
-
Now I fucking thrive in that shit.
