Look, I'm going to be honest with you here because I don't want you to take this as just another motivational video.

I want you to find this very educational and actually take action on what I'm about to teach you today.

Present continuous

And I'm not going to waste your time here.

There are 10 harsh truths that I wish someone had told me earlier in my career and in my life.

And some of these are going to sting here and it's going to trigger you to think differently, which is good.

Pay attention because if you get these now, you don't lose the next 10 years learning them the hard way like I did.

Truth number one, your life always follows your identity, not your goals.

You don't fail because you lack ambition.

You fail because your identity just hasn't changed yet.

And if you still you see yourself as the guy who quits, that, avoids discomfort or plays small, your actions will always pull you back to that point, no matter how big your goals are.

Discipline and systems are what actually carry your life forward.

If your progress depends on how you feel that day, your results will always be inconsistent.

Truth number three, neglecting your body is no longer an option.

Low energy, poor confidence, reduced discipline.

A weak body quietly weakens every area of your life.

So how we do one thing is how we do everything in our life.

You can actually take care of people you care about.

Truth number four, consistency beats complication every single time.

Extreme plans fail because they're not sustainable.

It's simple training, basic nutrition and repeatable habits done consistently over time that will always outperform any short term push.

I've been doing the basic stuff for the last 15 years.

I eat healthy foods, my morning routine is the same.

Nothing's changed for me and that's why I'm getting the results that I'm getting.

See, most people, they stop because they're looking for something new and exciting.

And that's just going to keep distracting you from actually doing the work that needs to get done to get you where you say you want to go.

All right, truth number five, food is either fuel or self sabotage.

You just need to be more respectful of your Body eating whatever you want at any time is just costing you energy, focus, emotional control and it's costing you long term health which is what's most important.

Emotional control creates a real man under pressure.

Without emotional control, everything in your life is going to collapse.

You need to know exactly how to handle high intensity situations very quickly.

Do this the next time you catch yourself reacting irrationally.

It's a self management strategy where you pause for a full day before reacting impulsively to upsetting situations in a allowing yourself time to cool down, gain perspective and process your feelings before making the decision or communication.

Now, especially if this is something that's risk to your family or your business or your finances.

This is why I implemented this in my life.

Because most of the time what I found is when I wait 24 hours, the decision that I thought I was going to make at that time is always, almost always different 24 hours later.

All right, if some of these are already hitting you hard, just wait because there's a lot more that I'm going to share with you in this video that's going to completely change your life.

You know what else is going to change your life?

Because I'll be providing solutions like this to all the problems that you guys face a lot more often.

Now this next one that I'm going to cover here, this was probably the hardest one for me to get a hold of and nail.

Attraction is built, it's not negotiated.

Attraction grows from integrity, presence and having a backbone.

Chasing validation or approval will just slowly destroy respect and desire.

Truth number eight, Being nice isn't the same as being strong.

Avoiding conflict doesn't create peace, it actually creates quiet resentment.

Strength means setting boundaries and showing up with clarity even when.

Your kids need a leader, not a perfect dad.

They need consistency, they need safety and they need your presence.

Being emotionally steady matters way more than being impressive.

It always reveals what your real priorities are.

What your schedule is, is what you actually value.

If training, family time and having focus work are not in your calendar, they'll always lose to distractions.

So these are all the truths that you actually need to know.

And if any of these are hitting you right now, just know that you've come to the right place.

I'm sharing them with you today to make sure that you don't repeat the same mistakes that I've made.
