00:00hello everybody it's jamie song speaking and um i'm just here to give you guys a wake up call
00:08um you know a lot of you are slowly building a life you don't even want and you're doing it
00:13on autopilot not because you're dumb not because you're incapable not because you've gotten way
00:18too comfortable being distracted you wake up read for your phone before your eye before your eyes
00:22even fully open you check messages scroll just for a bit and only 45 minutes is gone you tell
00:29yourself it's fine i'll be productive later later comes and somehow you're tired unmotivated or just
00:34not in the mood that cycle it repeats every blessed single day and that's it and you know the scary
00:42part it doesn't feel dangerous it just feels normal and that's how it gets to you let me tell you
00:46a
00:47story there was a guy his name is toby to be smart like naturally sharp teachers like him friends
00:53thought he was funny and deep down he knew he could do something big he talked about it all the
00:57time
00:57starting a brand getting into a top university making real money young otobi had one problem
01:04he always felt like he had the time he was saying i'll start next week oh let me just rest
01:08today i
01:09work better under pressure anyways i'm sure sometimes he pulled off things last minute and i gave him
01:14confidence false confidence because slowly something starts changing assignments he used to ace became
01:20average ideas he was excited about stayed in his notes app app noodles note app opportunities slipped
01:27past him because he he wasn't ready i'm not ready yet one day he saw someone he used to be
01:32better than
01:33someone he used to help somebody that you used to support winning building something the person is
01:38growing and it hit with him with a quiet uncomfortable wait wait when did they pass me no dramatic
01:44momentum no big failure just his slow realization that while he was taking his time life didn't wait
01:50that's the part nobody wants you about you don't suddenly wake up one day and ruin your future
01:55and that's the part nobody will warn you about you don't only wake up one day and ruin your future
02:00you
02:00drift into it you waste a few hours here skip effort there choose comfort over discipline again and again
02:07until one day you look around and realize you've built habits that are holding you back and now
02:11you have to fight your own patterns just to move forward and let's be real for a second some of
02:16you say you're tired you're tired you don't want to walk but you are not tired from effort you're
02:22tired from avoidance there's a difference real tiredness comes from pursuing yourself building
02:28something trying and failing but the tiredness most people feel now that heavy unmotivated i don't feel
02:33like doing anything now that energy that feeling that comes from too much scrolling too much comparison
02:38too much thinking not enough doing you're mentally overloaded but physically under challenged you
02:44consume motivation you don't act on it you watch other people succeed and instead of letting it
02:48inspire you it slowly convinces you that you're behind so you do nothing that is the trap that is
02:53the trap wake up wake up another story amara mara had a dream dancing professionally she liked it she
03:00really loved to dance but she also cared a lot about what people thought every time what if i'm not
03:05good enough what if people will laugh what if nobody cares so she waited practiced privately kept telling
03:11herself one day i'll be confident enough but confidence doesn't come before action some of you
03:15are too stiff you think it's all right it's not all right it comes because of an action meanwhile
03:22someone else less skilled mobile more consistent started posting messy at first not perfect but
03:26visible over time they improve they grow an audience they cut on opportunities amara still preparing
03:32and one day she realized i didn't lose because i wasn't good i lost because i did not show up
03:37that is what most of you are doing that one's things does it not because if you are honest you've
03:42probably done the same thing in some part of your life you're not lacking potential you're hesitating
03:46you're waiting to feel ready waiting to feel motivated waiting for the perfect time waiting for
03:49somebody to tell you you can't do it nobody's going to tell you you can't do it but here's the
03:53brutal
03:53truth that moment you're waiting for you does not exist nobody feels fully ready the people you admire
03:58they start they started scared unsure imperfect the only difference is they moved anyways and listen
04:04carefully to this part because this is where most people get it wrong you don't need a massive life
04:08reset you need nobody to slap you you don't need to suddenly wake up at 5 a.m because ultra
04:12discipline
04:12and have everything for you that's unrealistic and honestly it's another excuse what you need is
04:18smaller consistent decisions choosing to do the work even when you don't feel like it reducing the time
04:22you waste little by little taking your goals seriously even when nobody else is damaged because consistency
04:26compounds the same way bad habits slowly mess you up good habits quietly build you into something
04:32strong and now let me soften it because you're not hopeless and this isn't meant to tear you down
04:37you are early earlier than you think the fact you've been thinking about this questioning things wanting
04:42more that already puts you ahead of a lot of people who are just who are just costly without
04:47awareness you haven't missed your chance you're just at the point where your decisions start to matter
04:51more and that is not scary it's powerful because it means you you can still change direction you can
04:56still become more disciplined build something meaningful improve your skills show up differently
05:01not overnight not perfectly but steadily but here's the real message underneath all the harsh truth
05:08you are not stuck you are just underestimating how much control you actually have and once you start
05:12acting on it even in the small small wheels you'll begin to see it you'll feel it and one day
05:17without
05:17even realizing realizing when it happened you'll look back and think damn i'm actually becoming the
05:22person i used to imagine just don't wait too long to start that's the only real mistake there that is
05:29the way you you you will just mess up you need to be motivated you need you need to do
05:36to show yourself
05:37you can't prove yourself and from now on i'll make sure i'm an example of that you guys was uh
05:43you of course
05:44because because you will see it to me before you will do it and i will make sure that happens
05:48so guys what are we going to do what are we going to do you need to wake up wake
05:53up
05:55get out of that bed get out and wake up thank you so much for joining me in this wake
