And I felt like a total and abject failure.

So, I used to be sixty pounds heavier.

And I grew up in a morbidly obese family.

And I really wanted to escape that fate

but I couldn't see any way to do it.

All that I had was this crushing sense of being adrift at sea

and not knowing how to get back to shore.

I could see the failure, I could see that I had no plan,

that I no longer knew how I was gonna get where I wanted to go.

And I didn't believe that those were things I could change about myself.

They felt like a prison sentence or if I am honest it felt like a death sentence.

And it was coming to the realization that I wasn't talented.

That really forced me to look for a new mindset

that would allow me to escape depression

because I was coming to the world with my hand out,

and as long as I was coming to the world with my hand out,

I was at the mercy of other people.

I wanted to take control.

I was gonna have to take control of the resources

and in that was a desire to find another way to think about it.

Another way to think about myself,

another way to think about talent,

another way literally to think about everything.

And I remember saying to myself: listen pussy,

stop asking yourself

what the least you need to do is and start asking yourself how much you can bear.

I began to develop a growth mindset.

I needed to believe that by working really hard

that I can get better at anything.

If that were true, then I just needed to buckle down.

I needed to practice, I needed to get good,

I needed to do the reps, I needed to put in the effort,

I needed to be willing to break myself in half to get so good that people couldn't ignore me.

The way to do that: act.

That's it. You need to get out there and do something.

Right now, today. Literally stop this f***ing video.

And whatever it is, if you already have a passion,

you are so much farther ahead than the vast majority of human kind.

If you know what that thing is, get out and act.

And by the way, if you don't know what it is, act,

it's the only way you are gonna find out counterstep.

Go try things, it is in the process of action

that you are going to learn the things you need to learn.

But if you have been thinking about starting a business, f***ing start it.

Like actually build the product right now. Today.

You will learn more, infinitely more in the process of trying to create it

and make it real than you ever will by watching videos,

by thinking, by meditating , by taking notes.

None of it compares.

It's not even in the same universe.

It is just going and doing it.

One step is better than a hundred hours of quantification.

Running a hundred miles an hour

in the wrong direction is better than standing still.

You'll learn something. So get rid of this notion

that you are gonna end the day with a perfect record.

You're gonna fail, you're f**k up,

you are gonna try a thousand things,

and 999 of them are not gonna work.

But whatever you want, really don't ask yourself who you are today,

ask only, "Who do you want to become?"

And then are you willing to pay the price to get there?

Like people are convinced that they shouldn't act until they have it all figured out.

You should act right now today,

no matter how chaotic your vision, no matter how chaotic your life,

no matter how much you have going on or you already working 2 jobs , 3 jobs doesn't matter.

Take an action today or you never will!
