00:01There's a popular quote going around at the moment.
00:04The person you will be in five years is based on the books you read and the people you hang around with today.
00:11This is quite true, but it applies to everything else as well.
00:16The person you will be in the future is based on everything you do today.
00:21The people you hang around with, but more so the people you listen to, the opinions you believe,
00:27the books you read or the videos you watch, all the information you take in, positive or negative, will affect your future.
00:36The workouts you do or don't do, that will show up in the future.
00:41The foods you eat today will affect your future on a visual and energy level.
00:46The same is true with your thoughts and information.
00:48What you feed your mind will shape your future.
00:52If all you do is take in garbage, guess what your future is going to be made up of?
00:57Commit to feed your mind with successful thoughts and surround yourself with those who have the same ambition.
01:03It doesn't matter where you get your information from.
01:06You may read. You may get it from podcasts or videos. It doesn't matter.
01:09Just make sure you keep feeding your mind every day.
01:13Everybody wants to be successful.
01:18But virtually nobody understands that success is a path.
01:22It's a process. It's not a finish line.
01:25It's not something that you do once and then you finish.
01:28It is literally the systematic acquisition of skills.
01:32And as Scott Adams said,
01:34Every skill you acquire doubles your odds of success.
01:38And that's it. That's the secret.
01:39If you really want to do something in your life.
01:41If you really want to be great.
01:43If you want to smash it.
01:44If you want to be remembered.
01:46The key is to acquire as many skills as you can.
01:50Because every thing that you bring into your world gives you an exponentially greater chance of winning.
01:56Of doing the thing that you want to do.
01:58But you have to be totally focused and committed on gaining those skills.
02:02And as The Rock pointed out.
02:05Success at anything will always come down to this.
02:10Focus and effort.
02:12And we control both.
02:14Once you understand that that's what you have to do.
02:16You have to get control of yourself.
02:18You have to stay focused on something.
02:20You have to learn the discipline and apply it on your path to success.
02:24To acquire the skills that you want to acquire.
02:26That it is going to demand of you that you work harder.
02:30You work smarter and you work longer than anybody else.
02:33And that's the fucking secret.
02:34There really is no grand mystery.
02:36If you want to be successful.
02:37If you want to do something other people can't do.
02:39Then you have to become capable of the extraordinary.
02:44You have to become capable of doing something that other people can't.
02:47And that is the best possible news I can give you.
02:52Because it doesn't matter what you're born with.
02:54It doesn't even matter who you are.
02:56What matters is who you want to become.
02:58And the price that you're willing to pay to get there.
03:00And let me tell you this.
03:01The price is known.
03:03And that price is the acquisition of skills.
03:06That price is getting so good that people can't ignore you.
03:11That price is being able to beat anyone at the game that you've chosen to play.
03:15Once you get to that point.
03:17Once people stand back in awe when they watch what you're doing.
03:21Then you will have won.
03:22Then success will be yours.
03:24But it was in no uncertain terms.
03:27The result of the path that you walked.
03:31And as Angela Duckworth notes.
03:34Enthusiasm is common.
03:37But endurance is rare.
03:39So when you sneak out that first lead.
03:41When you get ahead of people.
03:42And you think hey I've acquired this skill.
03:43I've done something.
03:44People are looking at me like I can't be stopped.
03:46Remember that right now at this moment.
03:48Someone is practicing.
03:49While you're not doing the thing that you need to be doing.
03:52While you're sitting back in your laurels.
03:54Very happy with what you've accomplished.
03:56Somebody else is going to eat your lunch.
03:58Because they have a passion.
03:59And enthusiasm that endures.
04:01And at the end of the day.
04:03If you can want something so badly.
04:04If you fucking burn from the inside.
04:07To do something.
04:08To become something.
04:09To become capable of more.
04:11Then you will endure.
04:13Then you'll be able to push past other people.
04:15Then when other people break.
04:17And they lie in your wake.
04:18You will push forward.
04:19Because that fucking thing in you.
04:21That you have cultivated.
04:22Is the ability to endure.
04:24It is not the ability to be a badass.
04:26It is not the ability to think that you're cool.
04:29It is the ability to kick your own ass.
04:31To deal with what is boring.
04:32To live in the pain.
04:34To step towards anguish.
04:35To know that suffering is a choice.
04:37And you choose to turn it off.
04:39Because you know on the other side.
04:41On the other side.
04:43On the other side of endurance.
04:45On the other side of out.
04:47Lasting everybody else.
04:49Is a skill set that makes you unstoppable.
04:57Warren Buffet once said.
04:59The more you learn.
05:01The more you earn.
05:03That is so true.
05:06Look at successful people.
05:08Like Bill Gates.
05:09Steve Jobs.
05:10Elon Musk.
05:11Oprah.
05:12Mark Cuban.
05:13And any other highly successful human.
05:15They are successful.
05:17Because they use their time right.
05:19They are successful.
05:21Because they are lifetime learners.
05:23They commit to learning new things.
05:25Every single day.
05:27Warren Buffet.
05:29One of the wealthiest humans on the planet.
05:31Is famous for reading more than five hours.
05:33Every day.
05:34Bill Gates reads one book per week.
05:37Mark Cuban.
05:38Three hours a day.
05:39Oprah.
05:40Well she is just obsessed with books.
05:42Notice the common theme here.
05:44Successful people never stop learning.
05:47Think about this.
05:49You have $86,400 to spend every single day.
05:54But when the day is over.
05:56The money disappears.
05:57You can't get it back.
05:59Wouldn't you try to spend all of the money.
06:01Before they disappear.
06:02Wouldn't you try to use it wisely.
06:04Use it.
06:05As best you could.
06:07The sad part is.
06:09We only have 86,400 seconds a day.
06:13And most people take this time for granted.
06:15Most people let this time disappear.
06:17Without a second thought.
06:19We never get this time back.
06:21We must use it wisely.
06:22We must be productive.
06:24We must use our time to do things we enjoy.
06:26Or use it to set up our life.
06:29So we can spend our future doing more things we want to do.
06:32Instead of wasting your time on meaningless things.
06:35Use it to learn new things.
06:37The time you spend playing video games or partying with your friends will never come back.
06:45Once you use that time.
06:48It's gone.
06:49Forever.
06:50Use your time wisely.
06:52Read books.
06:53Study hard and learn as much as you can.
06:56Most people give up on their dreams.
06:58Because it gets too hard.
07:00A lot of students stop chasing their dreams.
07:03Because of one failed test.
07:05Matter of fact.
07:06Most students don't even try their best.
07:08When they take the test.
07:10Because in their mind.
07:11They have already failed the test.
07:14They stop believing in themselves.
07:16And once the belief is killed.
07:18The dream is killed.
07:19If you have a dream.
07:21You must do everything.
07:23To make it into reality.
07:25It doesn't matter how many times.
07:27You fail a test.
07:29Never stop believing in yourself.
07:31Life itself is a test.
07:34Sometimes you will fail.
07:36But the only way you can be a failure.
07:39Is if you stop trying.
07:41Whatever dream you have.
07:44Use all your energy.
07:45To make it into reality.
07:47Push yourself to become the person you are destined to become.
07:52If you want to get results you have never got before.
07:56You are going to have to do things you have never done before.
08:00The richest man in the world.
08:05Bill Gates.
08:06Was once asked.
08:07Which superpower.
08:08He would like to have.
08:10The richest man in the world.
08:12Said.
08:13That he would want the ability.
08:15To read books faster.
08:17Success is not about the money.
08:20The fame.
08:21Or the big house.
08:22It's about becoming.
08:24The best version of yourself.
08:26You will fall down many times.
08:31On the road to success.
08:33But the most important thing is that you get back up.
08:36Get back up stronger.
08:38And wiser.
08:39Than before.
08:40Create a mindset.
08:41That does not allow you.
08:43To quit or stop believing.
08:45If you quit on your dream.
08:47And give up.
08:48You'll never know how great you can be.
08:51Never doubt yourself.
08:53Doubt kills more dreams.
08:56Than failure.
08:57Ever will.
08:58Ever will.
09:08As Daniel Pink said.
09:10People fail to achieve mastery.
09:13Not because they aren't talented.
09:16But because they aren't disciplined.
09:19The wonderful news about the human condition.
09:21Is you can get good at anything that you set your mind to.
09:23It's just not going to be easy.
09:25And it's not going to be fast.
09:27But the willingness to put in that work.
09:29Is what's going to separate you from everybody else.
09:32And I'm begging you.
09:33To see yourself right now.
09:34Today.
09:35As average.
09:37As no better than anyone else.
09:40But I beg you.
09:41With more force.
09:43Than I know how to convey with this language.
09:45To see yourself as malleable.
09:46To see yourself as capable.
09:48Of becoming anything.
09:49You want to become.
09:51To become truly.
09:52Extraordinary.
09:53If you can find within yourself.
09:55The discipline.
09:56To stick with it long enough.
09:58And as Steve Martin said.
09:59Perseverance.
10:00Is a great substitute for talent.
10:03Everybody wants to talk about who's talented.
10:06Everybody looks at the person with innate talent.
10:09As if they have something magical.
10:12But to me.
10:14It's a gift.
10:15It's a handout.
10:16It's a freebie.
10:18It hasn't been earned.
10:19And no matter what it is.
10:21It's only the beginning.
10:22Even somebody that has talent.
10:24Even if you get an early win.
10:25If you let somebody outwork you.
10:27If you let somebody who has more perseverance.
10:29More grit than you.
10:30Then they are going to outperform you.
10:32On a long enough timeline.
10:33The only thing I can guarantee.
10:35Is you will be outworked by somebody.
10:37Unless you pour your heart and soul.
10:40Into getting great.
10:42If you don't take days off.
10:44If you put yourself into it.
10:46As if your life depended on it.
10:48When you act like that.
10:50Then you've got a chance to be great.
10:52And as Robert Horry said.
10:54Pressure can bust pipes.
10:56But it can also make diamonds.
10:59You've got to want that pressure.
11:01You've got to want things to be hard.
11:03You can't seek out the easy life.
11:04You can't just hope and pray.
11:06That you can uncover inside of you.
11:07Some talent.
11:08That's laid dormant.
11:09That you didn't know about.
11:10That's going to let things be easy for you.
11:12Don't want the easy.
11:14Want the hard.
11:15Want the pressure.
11:16Want the thing that's going to turn you into something.
11:19Because when it's easy.
11:21You don't work for it.
11:23When it's easy.
11:24You don't push.
11:25When it's easy.
11:26You get surpassed.
11:27By the person.
11:28Who has to give it their all.
11:29Who's prepared.
11:30To do blood.
11:31Sweat.
11:32And tears.
11:33In order to become.
11:34That thing.
11:35That they want to be.
11:36So badly.
11:37Because they are so.
11:38Fucking angry.
11:39That they were never given.
11:40Anything.
11:41And with that chip on their shoulder.
11:42They're determined to become.
11:44Anything.
11:45That they set their mind to.
11:47To do.
11:48So whether you have talent.
11:50Whether you don't.
11:51The only thing that matters is.
11:53Will you persevere.
11:54Will you stick with it long enough.
11:56To get great.
11:57People want to know.
11:58How to stop.
11:59The laziness.
12:00And they want to know.
12:01How to stop.
12:02The laziness.
12:03And they want to know.
12:04How to stop.
12:05The procrastination.
12:06The procrastination.
12:11They have some idea.
12:12In their head.
12:13You know.
12:14Some kind of.
12:16A vision.
12:18Of what they want to do.
12:24But they don't know where to start.
12:25They don't know where to start it.
12:26You know.
12:27They don't know where to start.
12:32Where do I start.
12:33And when's the best time to start.
12:35And.
12:36I have a very simple answer for that.
12:41Here.
12:42And now.
12:46That's it.
12:47You want to improve.
12:49You want to get better.
12:52You want to get on a workout program.
12:54Or a clean diet.
12:55You want to start a business.
12:57You want to write a book.
12:58Or make a movie.
12:59Or build a house.
13:00Or a computer.
13:01Or put together some.
13:02Mobile application.
13:04No application.
13:10Where do you start?
13:12You start right here.
13:14And when do you start?
13:15You start right now.
13:18You initiate the action.
13:20Aggressively.
13:21You go.
13:22Because.
13:23The idea.
13:24Isn't going to execute itself.
13:25And the book.
13:27Isn't going to write itself.
13:28And the weights.
13:29Out in the gym.
13:30They're not going to move.
13:31Themselves.
13:32You.
13:33Have.
13:34To do it.
13:35And you have to do it.
13:36Now.
13:37You got to stop.
13:38Thinking about it.
13:39And stop dreaming about it.
13:41And stop researching every aspect of it.
13:45And reading all about it.
13:47And debating the pros and cons of it.
13:49Just start doing it.
13:51Take it.
13:53Take that first step.
13:56And make it happen.
13:59Get after it.
14:02Get after it.
14:03Here.
14:05And.
14:06Now.
14:07Now.
14:08Next leading.
14:09Devils.
14:14So what was that moment like?
14:16Looking in the mirror of the day.
14:18You decide okay, wait.
14:19Enough is enough.
14:23Its pretty crazy for me.
14:26It took awhile to get to that point.
14:28Were enough was enough.
14:30I had to make a change in my life.
14:34How do you find and cultivate that drive?
14:36that drive like there is a kid right now watching this man and they feel like you felt they feel
14:40lost alone broken stupid lazy like they're never going to amount to anything and what you're
14:47talking about is the closest thing to a fucking superpower that this kid has ever heard and right
14:51now he is on the edge of his seat how does he how does he like force himself to take that first step
14:56i'm very fortunate that i grew up in a time when there was no phones and there was no social media
15:04and i suggest yes i'm on social media on a very limited basis because i have a story to tell
15:11and it's a great platform use it as a platform don't use it as your life my biggest advice to
15:17give everybody in the world is like i say we live in an external world everything is is you got to see
15:24it touch it it's external if you can for the rest of your life live inside of yourself stop listening
15:34the people who are calling you fat gay transsexual nigger everything that is makes no sense all
15:40these insecure people putting their insecurities on you you got to flush it out you got to just be
15:47whoever the hell god or whoever the hell you believe in if you believe in nothing but yourself i don't
15:51care what it is you got to take everything and throw it away you have to believe in one thing and that is
15:58yourself and and i'm not saying don't believe in god or what you believe in but right now for you to find
16:04greatness in yourself you're not going to find it by looking in a book or by even hearing me i may give
16:12you the spark but you've got to go inside yourself to find it and that means you got to be quiet shut the
16:19fuck up go in a room stop talking search your soul search your mind search your abilities and you'll
16:27find it but if you're not looking for it you won't find it so you got to go start your journey and the
16:34journey starts with you finding why the hell am i here on this planet earth why am i here and if you
16:41don't know that you will live the rest of your life searching always asking the question why
