Most people don't want to go to that extra mile because it sucks.

It's miserable.

It's lonely.

You talk about performance without a purpose.

What's that?

For instance, let's say you have no races.

Let's say you have no classes, no nothing.

There's no purpose in your life.

You know, people need to have purpose to get up.

They need purpose to perform.

You need to get to a point in your life where there's nothing on the docket.

There's no, I'm going to get into school to be this or that, and still perform to the highest level.

Because what people don't get is one day that thing's going to come up.

If you're not constantly performing without purpose, you're not going to be ready when the time comes.

It's this magical thing, purpose, that we're all looking for.

But what's funny about it all is that we don't take a second to realize the purpose is always there.

The purpose never leaves us.

Because the very purpose is you.

You are always the purpose.

There may be another purpose, like being a SEAL or going to college or whatever, but the main purpose in life is you.

So if you wake up in the morning and you don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself.

And that's what you need to really research is, man, why am I not doing this for myself?

Because that is the number one purpose in life, is to better oneself.

But where do you go to?

You wake up in the morning, it's cold, it's wet, it's dark, it's warm on the couch, your missus says stay in bed, it's comfy, it's cozy, you've got work later on, you had an argument last night, you're slightly hung over.

That makes me happy what you just said.

Why?

Because I know there's so many people that have the ability and just refuse to get off that couch, refuse to study a few more hours, refuse to go deeper, to go further.

And that's where I gained the advantage.

It's so easy to be great nowadays, my friend, because most people are weak.

Most people don't want to go to that extra mile.

Most people don't want to find that extra because it sucks.

It's miserable.

It's lonely.

How can they stop feeling sorry for themselves?

That's a difficult one, because you have to want it.

You have to want to be better.

And it starts off with, you have to have pride in yourself.

You have to have, there's something about you, whether it's your last name, whether it's just the smallest thing, you have to be proud of yourself.

If you have no pride in yourself, I can't give it to you.

Because you're always going to compromise.

You're always going to fold.

Always.

Every place I went in the military, there was this ethos about how this place is, how we're going to live, how we're going to represent ourselves.

I made one for myself on how I want to be.

If people can make up a mission statement, an ethos in which they want to live by.

And every morning you wake up, you hold yourself accountable to that mission.

That accompanies your own.

Make up your own mission statement.

What do you want to be in life?

And once you do that, now you can work with somebody to get better.

You can work with yourself to get better.

But until you know what you want to stand for, you will always just be sitting down.

You'll never stand for anything.

What's that quote?

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything.

That's it.

It's a true statement.
