What is your goal?

The most important thing is that you have a vision, that you have a goal.

Because without that vision and without that goal, again, you're drifting around and you're never going to end up anywhere.

People don't become successful just by accident.

Do you experience this life optimally?

Is it as enjoyable as it can be?

We've all had times in our life where it's not been so great.

And then times in our life where everything came together like, what a great day, woo!

Make more of those, like you can make more of those.

We have all these connections in our mind when it comes to comfort and stress.

Our bodies, most people, their associations are to avoid anything that's uncomfortable.

But it's so illogical.

Because when you look at comfort and you look at success and progress and eventual, the feelings of accomplishment and of getting past certain hurdles in terms of how you feel about life, a lot of those are connected to discomfort.

Discomfort is your friend.

I'm not saying to put yourself down.

I'm saying listen to the truth.

The truth is in this other part of your brain saying, look man, you're wasting a bunch of percentage here.

We have 80 more percent that we're not tapping into because in this other 80 percent is suffering, pain, failure, failure, failure, self-doubt, darkness.

And then a whole bunch of light.

But to get to this light, you got to go through all of this shit.

So a lot of us know that we know we do know deep down.

Yeah, I can get over here.

But over here, man, this is much better because I got to go through this journey.

That is not fun.

This this from 20 to 100 percent.

This shit in between is not fun.

So we decide to live over here.

So everybody goes, how do you do that?

You know exactly how to do that.

You know, exactly.

It's not a magic trick.

There's nothing I talk about in that book that's a magic trick.

It's all back down to a very primitive mindset of we just have to do.

It's like breathing, breathing becomes normal.

Like we didn't know that that that we're doing.

That's how you have to live your life.

And that alarm clock goes off at four or five in the morning.

Your mind says, no, you just say, this is what we do is what we do now, because to get to where you want to go, the amount of pain involved.

I'm not saying physical.

I'm not saying you got to break yourself off.

The amount of mental pain of how many times you're going to have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go is going to be.

There's going to be more times you do something that you don't want to do, then you are going to want to do it.

And that's that's your new norm.

That's your new norm.

So then it's like breathing.

And then once you do this over and over and over again, it becomes like breathing.

I don't want to live this lifestyle, but to get to the other side of this, I have to.

So if you really want it, you realize what trying is and what trying is not.

This is why I always smiled when I was in the gym.

People always came up to me and says, why are you smiling?

You're working out five hours a day.

You're doing the same as the other guys, but the other guys have a sour face.

They're pissed off that they have to do another rep or another set or something.

I looked forward to I looked forward to another thousand reps of sit ups.

I looked forward to another 500 pounds of leg press or squat.

I looked forward to more and more curls until my arms fall off.

Why?

Because I knew that every rep that I did and every set that I did and more weights that I lifted, I get one step closer to turning that vision into reality.

It's not just not good.

Like blowing off an exercise that you planned is not just bad for you physically.

It's also bad mentally because then that option is now available.

And you did it before and you're probably going to do it again.

And you'll get mediocre results, not just in that aspect of your life, but maybe in all aspects of your life.

Because I think that opt off when you embrace it, that is a pathway.

That you might choose when it comes to dealing with conflict in your personal life, dealing with business decisions, dealing with career decisions, like an uncomfortable decision that you might be faced with.

Maybe you need to make a change as far as like what your pathway is in life.

That gathers momentum as well.

The inclination to be disciplined, that comes with momentum too.

I think both things like you take a path.

Both of them are available and whichever path you embrace.

Your body is like a race car that you can juice up yourself.

Like you can add the fat tires.

You can add the improved suspension.

You can beef up the horsepower in the engine.

You can do all that yourself.

It's a very important lesson for all of you.

So when someone says no, this is a stupid idea.

You in your mind, you don't have to say it.

You in your mind just say to yourself, fuck you.

You an asshole. you
