You're depressed because you're not doing with yourself.

You don't find inspiration by not living in the grip of life.

You need to live in the grip of life to find inspiration.

Put challenges in front of yourself when you put a challenge in front of yourself and you attack it.

That's when you find inspiration trying to be 10% better than you were last week.

So if you wanted 30 miles a week 1 33 if you're swimming 500 m 25 50 and some of you aren't doing your 10% just getting off the couch, the more you walk away from accountability, the weaker you become.

Find yourself in the grip of life.

You can't find yourself by doing nothing.

Let me see if I could fix myself.

So I said if I could just walk one more mile after being in the worst shape my entire life, this would change everything for me mentally, going forward from this kid who came from dirt, nothing who couldn't read until he was a junior in high school and is now here I went.

I walked a mile.

I said, room me back in about one more model.

Maybe I could walk another mile at my 81 extra click.

That means that you're not gonna make the time when your mind knows it's not going to quit.

And this is what I found out.

This is my 40% rule.

When your mind knows it's not going to quit, your body will adapt to whatever is in front of it.

I end up 20 more miles 100 and one miles in 19 hours and six minutes.

And that one day change that 1 19 hours.

It wasn't still train.

It wasn't Ranger school.

Wasn't Delta Force putting that crap went through.

It was just 19 hours and six minutes.

That forever changed my life to know that we as human beings are capable of anything way don't need any special kind of parents or tools to get there.

So any with this Don't stop when you're tired.

Stop when you're done.

Thank you very much.

Come on, Get it, 17.

Don't know, son.

Get it?

18, son.

Get it?

19 son.

Have one.

And you got 21?

Yeah, get again.

Come on.

You wanna see it?

Good way.

Who's gonna carry the boat in the Lord's?

That's you, buddy.

Come on.

23.

Come on.

24.

1 more, David.

Who's won more carry boats.

You're gonna do it.

You're gonna do it.

You're gonna do it.

You did it.

One thing that changed my life is my grandfather told me you're going nowhere in your life not being anything as bad as that hurt me.

You got me and put my head on my ass so long to stay hard, have a thick skin and do what's right.

What you need is the one thing I talk about.

My book.

What's your straight up, brutal work ethic?

You have to be willing toe outwork everybody in the world and that that that's the hard part.

That's the hard part.

This isn't like some five step process where you could do these five steps.

You're gonna end up with this magical world.

No, I'm basically teaching you how to callous over your victims mentality.

This is all about the quitting mind.

So what's the quitting mind?

So let's say it's day one of a job interview.

You have your clothes laid out.

You've been preparing for weeks and weeks and weeks.

You show up and you bring your best self at a couple of months.

You start showing up to work A little later.

You gonna look?

It's good.

Your breakfast isn't ready.

Your minds getting softer repetition every day.

Stay hard.

Most important conversation is the one you have with yourself.

You wake up with it, you walk around with it, you go to bed with it.

Eventually you act on it.

Live in the world.

Now that's so kind way.

Find the kind way around everything.

Like if you don't look good, I have to find a kind way of saying I don't like your shirt.

That's not the approach.

If that's approach you're looking for, that book is not for you.

Can't hurt me, is not for you the approach you have to take Least I took you.

Take the approach you want.

The conversation had to be a really honest conversation in the accountability mirror.

Guess what I was fat.

Don't find a kind word to say that.

You know what?

I've gained some weight.

No, you're fat.

When I couldn't read.

Not like Hey, you know, even learn disability.

No, I cannot read 1/4 grade reading level.

I'm struggling, and sometimes I call myself stupid.

Not in a way to put myself down.

Sometimes you act on it Good, sometimes bad.

You gotta change the internal dialogue.

That person in your head that's talking that to you until you change the internal dialogue in your head until you callous over the victim's mentality that the world is out to get you because of you are the only you gotta change that.

E once had that mentality that no one understands what I'm going through.

And if you keep that mentality, you're gonna stay in the same exact spot that you're in that no one understands me.

There's a whole There's millions of people.

Why do you think a book that I self published, you know, is doing so well with the story that so people like I never get what I went to a publishing house like Who's gonna resonate with this story?

No one's gonna buy this book.

I'm like, Are you not in the world?

Are you not in society?

You're never alone.

Everybody's going through.

So when people get this mentality of like, you understand me?

You could throw a rock to someone that could understand you if they're willing to break themselves down and stop hiding.

Ah, lot of people understand you, but you've got to stop hiding.

That's why I tell people Ah, lot of people are going through that is hide better than you did.

That's all they did.

Was hiding better.

Don't find words to make yourself feel better because that's what So we hang around people that make us feel better, that tell us what we want to hear, not what we need to hear.

And so we stay away from those people way.

Stay away from those people are internal dialogue becomes that kind.

It's OK, It's not OK, so that's where it starts.

It starts with that accountability of it's not okay anymore.

This can no longer be okay And calling yourself out for exactly what you are in.

Exactly how you would fix it.

A lot of us give Tora control to life way.

Don't have any control of it.

We just give all controlled life.

I do this shit every morning to prepare in my mind before we're life's gonna throw at me.

Ah, healthy body gives you a healthy mind.

That's what it's about.

So if you go into battle, you're going about the right mindset.

The right gear in combat You wear body armor way do wrong because we strengthen our minds.

You guys strengthen your mind, Take control over that.

Most of us live our entire lives avoiding failure.

It's funny.

E walk around.

People come to me and they say, Man, do that Navy seal you would do bring your school.

You are, you know, Air Force tag P You know you didn't pull up record.

You run all these ultra races all this man, the funny thing about it that I think about is this.

They know that part of me this depart I know about myself.

E felt the as Bob tested getting military three times in the Air Force, throw that pair of rescue on the sales.

It took me three times.

They get through Navy seal training, the poor record to me three times this'll what I know about me.

So I'm saying, is this you can't leave your life being afraid to fail all those failures.

Maybe the success in today stay hard.

Stay in the fight.

You know, I'm a serious introvert and very afraid of people.

I got judged so much growing up that this is uncomfortable for me.

All these podcast.

You know, that's why I post once a week.

But the one thing I realized why I wrote the book is honestly, I have a story to tell as we all have a story to tell.

And what I realized on my journey was a lot of us don't believe that we can achieve the impossible.

On along my journey, I started realizing, Man, I gotta tell some people about this man.

Like I discovered something that some people have, but they don't even know all of us have it.

But along this way, I wasn't Like I said, I wasn't a terrorist.

I became a practitioner and I was like, My God, I'm busting down so many barriers off like I've learned disability.

Okay, but I'm catching up with everybody.

I figured that out.
