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.
