Look at yourself, man,
look at yourself.
What am I going to do today
to change what I see in this mirror
I'm try find more of myself
I put my phone away and I go dark.
I go dark a lot and it's because
I have to find out. I'm on a journey of life
and we all have a different journey.
I could take this four lane highway,
the easy highway.
We all love that four-lane highway.
but going through this path of life,
this journey over here
that you make yourself,
that's incredibly difficult and we're afraid.
It's easier to accept the fact
that I'm just not good enough.
You have to go into a dark chambers
that we often shut off
and you got to open them up,
fail, and you're going to be in your head.
You could be saying I'm not good enough.
And it's how you get through that
is how you get through that on a daily basis.
When that thing is say, man,
"I'm 43."
I've done so much.
You start to become civilized.
at 43, I'm still putting in a hundred mile a week.
Still doing thousands of pull-ups
thousands of pushups
You want to be uncommon and most uncommon people.
Period.
You start putting yourself in situations that suck.
You find yourself
I want to be forever proud
of who I was as a man.
And change who I used to be,
the liar, the insecure guy, the guy who can, whatever.
I want to be proud if I die now.
if I die at age 90 or 100,
I want to look at myself and say proud of myself.
I believe in patients, I'm a patient dude.
Be able to watch something grow
very scaly, patiently.
"I can't go any faster."
We do it out your brain.
We put a gun over on our brain and
second we feel pain, discomfort,
suffering, all those words that
we hate to say it could be in this
happy peaceful world we live in now.
Please stop
Please, slow down
And if you can get through these different
barriers and gain 5%, 2%, 3%, that 40%
becomes 60 at 60% or 70, 80, and 90.
And then you're hopefully one day near 100
What if I can't be a seal, man?
I'm not going to tour in five miles.
What if I can't go,
but what if I can't go and
You have to go into a dark chambers
that we often shut off.
Are you got to open them up?
- Be the hero of your own movie.
If your life was a movie and it started now,
forget about whatever financial disasters you've had,
personal failures, relationship failures,
what would the hero of your life's movie
do right now, do that, do those things.
We define ourselves far too often by our past failures.
We look at our past and we say, well, that's me.
That's not you, you are this person right now.
You're the person who's learned from those failures
and you can choose to be the hero of your own movie
right now, write down your goals.
Write down things you want to improve.
Write down things you won't tolerate from yourself.
Write down things that you've done in the past
that you never want to see yourself do again and go forth
from here as the hero of your own movie.
Build momentum, build confidence and momentum with
each good decision that you make from here on out.
You can do it, anyone can do it.
I felt peace on the opposite end.
of finding myself and
no one really finds themself without going through trials,
tribulations, suffering, accountability,
and accountability is suffering,
being accountable every day for doing right
for yourself, for the people next to you.
It's miserable.
It's hard.
So, you know, even the smallest details.
