Short term thinking says
the donut tastes good eat it.
Short term thinking says one workout doesn't matter
I can skip it. Short term thinking
encourages you to make short term emotional decisions
that hurt you in the long run. The more short term decisions you make
decisions that are based on that immediate gratification
decisions based on quick
emotional satisfaction the further
from the path you will stray.
That's why I say
you've gotta pay attention. You have to
watch every
single second.
Because those seconds turn into minutes
and minutes turn into hours
and hours turn into days
and days
turn in to years.
You need tactical wins.
You need to win battles in order to win the war.
You need to get out of bed you need to run
you need to work out you need to read
and study and practice and you need to do things that you don't
necessarily want to do.
And I know that can be hard that's why people lose the war.
The daily fight is a challenge. You will not always
want to do what you need to do.
You will not always feel like doing something you need to do.
You may not want to fight that battle. But you need to.
You need to know your strategic goals
and you need to know why they are important. And then you need to get up
get out of your damn bed get off your phone
get out of the soft and addictive comfort zone
and get into the combat zone where you have to fight.
Where you have to dig deep. You have to be
vigilant. You have to be on guard.
You have to hold the line on the seemingly insignificant little things.
Things that shouldn't matter but things
that do.
You gotta stop telling yourself that you're doing enough.
You have to do more. In life
it's never enough until you feel
this overwhelming feeling of sh*t man
I'm outworking the crowd. I'm outworking everybody.
I'm doing more. Once you get there
that's when you f*cking know you've done enough. Think strategic
all the time.
Before any action or any inaction
ask yourself is this action going to make me stronger
or weaker? You have to tell
yourself the truth. And the truth is
you have time you have the skill
you have the knowledge and the willpower
and the discipline to get it done.
Most people don't ever make it where they wanna go
because they give themselves mental outs.
They can say, "oh, this business doesn't make enough money."
So they quit. You have to learn to train your brain
with a zero options mentality. You have to learn
to seek out to be uncomfortable.
You have to put yourself in positions where your back
is against the wall. That's when you're gonna f*cking fight.
Through the inspiration of desperation you'll become more creative than ever before.
Throw your whole self into it. See, most people go at it tentatively.
They don't give all their stuff they don't concentrate.
And if you don't have what you want stop telling yourself the story
because you don't have the money, you don't have the time
that's bullsh*t. It's because you haven't committed yourself
where you would burn your boats. If you wanna take the f*cking island
burn your f*cking boats and you will take the island
'cause people, when they're gonna either die or succeed
tend to succeed. When you don't have any other option
but to succeed your chances of success
are pretty f*cking good. It is
I am going to f*cking succeed no matter what I have to do
no matter how hard it is no matter how difficult the road
no matter how many obstacles stand in my way no matter how many people stand in my way
no matter
what. On the days I don't feel like it
guess what? I'm still getting up
I'm still putting my f*cking work boots on and I'm still going out
and kicking f*cking
ass. That's what people who succeed do.
