Ask yourself what remarkably stupid things am I doing
on a regular basis to absolutely screw up my life?
What would happen if you just stopped wasting the opportunities that are in front of you?
Because you're not everything you could be and you know it.
And you could be way better. You could be incomparably better
across multiple dimensions. Easy choices
hard life. Hard choices
easy life. What we most fear doing
asking saying
these are very often exactly what we most need to do.
There's a lot of things in life that we can control
but we choose not to. Let's say tomorrow
you now set in your mind you'll get up at f*cking 6 o'clock in the
morning. That alarm clock goes off at 6 o'clock in
the morning. Your first instinct is
whatever I said yesterday I was comfortable.
It was a nice day yesterday I made this f*cking plan at 8 o'clock at night
now it's 6 o'clock in the f*cking morning, I'm tired.
You hit that snooze button you've now lost the war.
Let's say you get up at 6:45 now 'cause you snooze a few times.
You go in the shower, now your day's all late so now you feel a little guilty now
you f*cking missed your workout you're running late for work now.
And guess what the world's gonna do? It's gonna f*ck you up.
You must win the war in the morning. So then when you go into life
that you cannot control you've already mentally won
so many battles early in the f*cking morning.
So you're going into f*cking war having already won something.
So you're not going to war defeated. You're going to war knowing
I did my push-ups I did my sit-ups
I read I meditated
whatever the f*ck you do you're prepared
for what the f*ck life is gonna bring you. You have to be that person
who no matter what's going on still says f*ck it
I am going to do what I have to do to get to where I have to go.
I don't think about getting up I just f*cking get up.
And you just do it. You make it a habit.
You gotta get over your mind going I can't do this
it's too hard, and all that sh*t you gotta push yourself
through when you feel exhausted and say there's a second wind in me, I'm gonna find
it but if you find yourself saying I can't do
something I don't wanna do something
but you know, if you made yourself do it you're gonna be a better human being
then you must do it. Don't hesitate, do it immediately.
Some people say, well, that's not a very safe life.
That's not a very secure life. If you want security, go to prison.
If you want freedom, this is how you live. Don't even use the word commit.
Don't even think about the word discipline. Just
do the thing
every single
day whether you feel like it or not.
Your only commitment is to the activity.
Not to the grand scheme not to the big picture
not to the implications of what it is that you're doing.
It's to do the thing. Habits
are the building blocks of our lives. Not the goals or the grand schemes
or the vision, nor the big idea. It's what you f*cking do every single day
that matters more than anything. No excuses.
Do it. Girlfriend or no girlfriend
do it. Tired or not tired
do it. You said you were gonna do it out of your
mouth you're a man now.
And a man is only as good as his word not his emotions.
Your emotions don't win championships. So whatever's gonna cause you not to be your
best stop it.
This is about you
retraining your brain to understand
this is a f*cking process that we learn of discipline
and execution and competition with ourselves.
And if you want to dictate the success that you're going to create
you've got to learn to master the sh*t
that everybody else thinks is irrelevant.
