seen anybody who did extraordinary feats that didn't have extraordinary issues it is the passion that gives you the power you need but it is the pain from which you have the conviction about it if you

fastest but my goals were clear my actions were and still are in service of those goals what wakes you up what drives you why are you playing this game dr miles monroe compares leaders to the king of the jungle he says he says the lion is not the tallest animal in the jungle the land is not the largest animal in the jungle the lion is not the smartest nor the most intelligent animal in the jungle and yet when the lion shows up he is king he is king you don't need to be intelligent you don't need to be smart you don't need to have a certain height you don't need to have a certain way you don't need to have any kind of advantage and yet you can be a leader four o'clock in the morning i wake up 4 30 4 45 i'm doing some sort of cardio open these garage doors it's still dark outside i do this and then i'll have breakfast and then i will go do all my strength and conditioning training at a gym for about an hour and then i'll go to set we on average probably about five hours of sleep it's 4 45 a.m it's still dark outside look at that the lights just went out and i'm getting ready to kill this am cardio you can't even see me but it's gonna be so good it's bad focus you do anything you never want to do anything half-assed especially when it comes to your training get in be intense execute on it and get out for a lot of guys out there and i was certainly one of those guys in my 20s i thought i had all the answers didn't know [ __ ] by the way in my 30s i'm still trying to find myself as a lot of guys are out there hopefully when you hit your 40s you're hitting a nice stride if i'm gonna do it i need to do this job right i need to stay focused on it i need to get the best effort i possibly can we live down here in south florida it's hurricane season focus but when it's time to go to the gym we got to get to the gym and there ain't no stopping us it's like i'm going to be the baddest [ __ ] walking all right empty gym the way we like it it's sunday just finished my warm-up this pain ought to be fun i work out twice before everyone wakes up all right workout number two i'm out working all my competition all right saturday afternoon empty gym the way we like it it's leg day which means it's gonna be sweaty painful and fun [Music] so how do you make it how do you overcome the odds [Music] i don't know what to say really three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives all comes down to today we're in hell right now gentlemen believe me and we can stay here get the [ __ ] kicked out of us or we can fight our way back into the light we can climb out of hell or you could be like me dream of pro football get hurt dream over find yourself with just seven bucks in your pocket so how did i get here by being the hardest worker in the room now it's time to see who has a heart now is the time to prove to yourselves and prove to everyone out there or somebody you're worthy of something and you're able to do something special that no one else in the world can do are you ready to go out there and take what's yours what you worked hard for all of us in life have things we want we don't get what we want we get what we have to have we all get what we tolerate in ourselves and other people but when you're no longer willing to tolerate something that's when your life changes [Music] everyone in the world has a list of things they think they should do i should lose weight i should work out i should spend more time with my kids i should work harder i should make more calls i should i should i should i should and then you know what people don't do their shoulds and they get mad at themselves they beat themselves up about it what changes people is when your should becomes a must when suddenly the thing you said should happen has to happen that's when human beings change it's like if you want to take the island and you're the head of the army you want to take the island the most powerful way to take the island is burn the boats because if there's no way to go back it's amazing what happens when it's a must to do something versus a should that's what makes human beings succeed [Music] ego is the success inhibitor you have to do your best not to make decisions based off of ego for sure success and failure are generally slow processes either slowly building things up or gradually tearing them down and that's why i say you've got to pay attention [Music] you have to watch you have to watch every single second because those seconds they turn into minutes [Music] and minutes turn into hours and hours turn into days and days turn in to years [Music] and so that second that second that just went by that counted and so did that second and so did that one and in those precious seconds you are either building or you are decaying you are either gaining ground [Applause] or you were losing ground in that second and in every second every second counts [Music] so make every second the dream shattered sent home with seven bucks in my pocket i was like wait no i gotta play in the nfl eventually those are my big goals that's my dream you realize that that playing in the nfl was the best thing that never happened because it got me here so my point is look you're going to get your ass kicked we're going to get the [ __ ] kicked out of us you got to get up you got to have faith that the one thing you wanted to happen oftentimes is the best thing that never happened so have faith and just keep that in mind and keep plugging away [Music] when you crawl out from underneath the covers every morning and you sit on the edge of the bed you have a choice before you we're wired differently we have to set a goal that if we hit that goal we're guaranteed to make sure all that other stuff in the middle is going to happen why three o'clock in the morning why don't you sleep my appetite my appetite i say e.t i want more i can do more if i accomplish this without a father what if i accomplish this with my mind being a teenage mom if i accomplish this as a high school dropout if i can accomplish these things from this start now that i'm at this place knowing what i know now what can i come and i want you to think about that i want you to think about more than just what you're going to do financially more than what you're going to do in this industry in the next three years right more than that what's your appetite what are you going to do that will ensure that when the alarm clock goes off that you're already up 10 20 minutes before your alarm clock blows up why do the work do the [ __ ] work you've heard me say it before no alarm clock need it my passion wakes me up listen to me no alarm clock need him i am sometimes the only way to go about doing the work is get [ __ ] raw and get [ __ ] intense get angry and aggressive and make it [ __ ] happen for yourself you start today i don't care when your life clock started ticking you can start [ __ ] right now today if it's 4 15 a.m in my world [Music] you're on the east coast and it's 6 15 a.m and you're already up and you're already dragging ass by 6 16. you can change your [ __ ] perspective of the world and of your life my advice [ __ ] do it do it [ __ ] do it dig [ __ ] it deep and get it done do the work of your life no alarm i haven't used an alarm clock in over 20 years what is it internally aired i want to be successful i want to execute i want to make all my dreams become a reality i want to do everything i said i'm going to do so my appetite increases it gets stronger every year i want more every i want to do more every i want to help more every year i want to be bolder i want to be better i want to be stronger every single year every single year your appetite should go up you should never get settled you should never get settled you should never get content every single year when you get content when you settle somebody's chasing you somebody's coming from behind and somebody's trying to take your spot and so every single day when you wake up you gotta set new goals new benchmarks you got to raise it higher and higher and higher so you can make your dreams become a reality hunter watching watson a true hunter is wired differently he's wired differently had the same makeup listen to me what makes a gazelle a gazelle is how he's wired what makes a lioness okay let me explain to you when a lion sees a gazelle and the gazelle sees the lion both bees see each other at the exact same time when the gazelle sees the lion because of how he's wired he automatically fear takes over when the lion sees a gazelle [Music] he lights up it's showtime the hunt is on this is what i was made for do the work [Music] do the [ __ ] work why do you want to work out what is your goal the most important thing is that you have a vision that you have a goal because without that vision 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 you know i mean maybe the guy that found gold in california and started the gold rush but don't count on that that's a one in a lifetime kind of a situation so you got to really have a specific order to me to have that vision that i want to be mr universe they don't want to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time that was a great vision and that specifically to look like reg park and to be up there on that stage and to lift the trophy overhead and to win the championship over and over and over again so that was a great goal you have to have a goal now it doesn't have to be that specific goal but it has to have some goal this is why i always recommend it to people sit down take your time and start thinking about why do you want to work out what is your goal and that can be as crazy as it is it could be you know i want to impress girls if that's your goal so be it but it motivates you it could be that you're emulating a certain you know bodybuilder or a certain football player a certain boxer whatever it is have those pictures put all over the wall like i did when i was a kid i put pictures of rich pocket of sunny listen of boxers and of ali and the power lifters and weightlifters all over my bedroom you know a wall so that every day when i go to sleep every day when i wake up i look at those pictures and they motivate me you need that motivation and then therefore you have this kind of imprint in front of you all the time and you know exactly what you're chasing people always come up to me 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 of a leg press or squat i looked forward doing more and more curls until my arms fall off why because i knew that every rep that i did in every set that i did and more weights did i lift it i get one step closer to turning that vision into reality so i was turned on by that i was excited i couldn't wait to get to the gym i remembered that when i weighed 245 pounds and bob raferson the director of stay hungry said to me that i'm interested in having you come in for reading and work on your acting and all this because i'm interested in having you in the movie to start with the jeff bridges and with sally fields i was delighted about that i was excited and i started pumping up more and more and then he said but i don't want you to weigh more than 210 pounds you want me to be in the movie but i'm weighing 245 to 46. i see i just won the olympia i say in 19 which was 1974 and i was really at my biggest and but he demanded that and he says look it's very simple on the day we start shooting he says i'm gonna put you on the scale and if you don't make the 210 you're out because i have someone else in mind and i worked on it i started visualizing myself very clearly as a lean athlete because that's the only way i could lose that weight in the office and get interested in running more because up until that point i ran like three miles after training or before training or whatever but now all of a sudden it was five miles six miles seven miles eight miles and they even ran mini marathons in order to lose the weight and they did everything with high reps and i was watching my diet what they eat and all those kind of things and by the day the day before i remember we went birmingham alabama the day before i was at the ymca with bob rafeson he was swimming and i was working out and i was running there was a tractor that was running he says let's step on the scale and i stepped on the scale and they were 209 so it just shows you what is possible if you visualize exactly what you want to look like [Music] and there was no room for any kind of like well i can get my act together or anything like this because there's only a certain amount of time but the key thing again is have the clear vision have the specific goal of what you want to accomplish because then you never go to the gym and you say the day i feel down a little bit i don't know what it is all about i don't know my life i'm confused no i tell you that i was a perfect example of someone that was not confident at all i mean when i was a kid that was just like any other kid that had hang-ups and problems and all this but when i joined the weightlifting club and i won my first little trophy because they did the best clean jerk and then we went to another meet and they won another little trophy i started feeling like somebody but the bottom line is everyone can use the same method because i used it in politics i used it in making money i used it and everything that i've done in the movie business when you have one little victory little victories add up and that is what gives you then ultimately confidence well for me the most important thing always to have a deadline so when i for instance had a competition and let's say the competition was in the middle of september and it was now beginning of summer so there was no more time to screw around so there was the time now to get going on a diet to get going with the training to not slack off at all because there was a deadline there the day of the competition i had to be in the best shape possible and i knew that if i come to the competition and then lose because i did not schedule my training the proper way or i didn't have the right frame of mind or i didn't give everything literally worked my butt off i would be just so angry so i never wanted to be in that situation so this is why it was very important to pick that time and to say this is when i have to be in top shape and then i work towards that but it's not just with the competition i mean they're always the same in the movie business i mean to me it was always a big advantage when i said okay my movie starts on april 1 and i have now three months so i have to get really in great shape so you pick those times it could also be that they have no movie and you have no mr olympia or no mr america no mr universe coming up or any of those things but you say to yourself the summer starts in june i'm gonna go to the beach in june and at that time i want to be in great shape so that creates an urgency that makes you really start training out and taking it seriously because if you don't have a specific plan then you wander around i mean you can have as i have told you many times the best ship or the best plane in the world but if you don't have a specific goal where you want to go and when you want to get there you just drift around and you never get anywhere so this is why it is important to create that urgency and have a specific time when you want to be in shape well i mean look everyone has a problem with time but the day is 24 hours and we sleep six now i know there are some out there that say well whoa whoa i need eight well i say just sleep a little faster because the bottom line is we have six hours of sleep 24 hours are available so if 18 hours now available to your work your family your hobbies and also to learn something new or to do something new which could easily be that you want to learn a new language or that you want to read and as a new year's resolution you have to read a book every week or you say i'm going to go and reshape my body so you're going to go and take this hour out of your schedule and say i'm going to train an hour every day so this is for most people a huge challenge but it is totally doable i can tell them because the kind of things that i did when i came to this country i mean i went to school i was working in construction i was working out my five hours a day i was taking acting classes from eight o'clock at night to 12 midnight i was doing all of those things i wanted to make sure that out of the 24 hours of the day that i don't waste one single hour those hours were too precious and so then i just want to tell people don't give me this thing i have a difficult time with the time and i don't have time for this and i don't have that you have time you make the time [Music] it's another early morning every morning every day of our lives we have choices to make you have a choice to stay in bed to say forget it i'm not gonna work out today or forget it i'm not gonna work hard today you always have a choice every single day of your life done today no one cares what you did yesterday you gotta change your dialogue there used to be a mentality doesn't work what have you done today to better yourself today is another day today is another day that i'm faced with another choice to make so i'm making the choice again to put my shoes on early in the morning and get acting again make the right decision well some of you read that i think about when it's hot outside that it's sunny in 70. well it's [ __ ] not today it's the reality it's about 90 degrees 100 humidity but who gives a [ __ ] that being said september 3rd i had to have my book turned in and when i realized i'm reading this book a lot but i realized i wasn't born this [ __ ] i made them at the bottom of insecurities fear self-doubt lies was me buried in the [ __ ] fetal position how i got out of that was recognizing being honest with it being truthful with it and then fixing it we like to live on social media with lies about ourselves how great we are get to the source and fix the problem [Music] i'm a big believer in doing something that sucks every single day of your life i believe it's a key component into strengthening your mind every day you're trying to find more of what you're capable of and that's the big question what are you capable of stop doing the things that you do every day you run every day go swim flip your towel one tire for a mile you'll definitely build something so i'm all about casting the mind do something that sucks don't get twisted it's not about flipping tires i'm in las vegas right now and it's hot as [ __ ] it's not about any of that but what it is about is a lot of us give total control to life we don't have any control of it we just give all control to life i do this [ __ ] every morning to prepare my mind for what life's gonna throw at me a healthy body gives you a healthy mind that's what it's about so i just got back from a long run and what i realized for myself and a lot of people is that life is one big tug of war between mediocrity and trying to find your best self so there's tricks to all this crap in life life is one big head game one trick in this situation is so i didn't want to run so what did i do i figured out a couple of things you have to sometimes let mediocrity think that you're giving into it so i said you know what instead of going for a 20 miler so go out for an easy six or seven what that did in my brain was it said okay mediocrity thought it won so let loose a little bit and let go of that oh this is gonna suck this could be okay it's not too bad the second should get to mile two guess what happens greatness pulls mediocrity into [ __ ] mud get out there and get after it you wanna go in about the right mindset the right gear in combat you wear body armor but what we do wrong is we want to strengthen our minds you got to strengthen your mind take control over that so then when you get out in the real world and they [ __ ] you up you got protection so i'm about 15 miles from home and i i often talk about taking souls this morning this person i usually train alone this person wanted to run with me and i said fine we'll run 15. this morning comes there's storms coming in this way and the person calls and said hey why don't we do it tomorrow taking souls is when i told him [ __ ] i'm gonna run 15 today and i'll run with you again tomorrow that's what taking souls is about don't worry about the elements and what's going on you gotta get out there and get it he wasn't the only one that felt about taking the day off because the storm is coming in right now and there's not a soul out here but me [Music] if you want to get better do the [ __ ] that no one else wants to do do the [ __ ] that no one else is even thinking about doing at the end of the day hard work may not be enough you still may fail just stay at it go ahead [Music] the more things you can do get outside that zone that zone is that zone makes you feel good the stronger your mind's gonna get it starts getting used to doing [ __ ] like this it's not fun my mind's used to it when that alarm clock goes off there's at least 50 of the time where you just that that soft little pillow is just caressing your head and you want to stay there and it takes discipline to go nope i'm gonna get up out of this bed i'm gonna do what i'm supposed to do we are average probably about five hours of sleep work hard sleep tomorrow morning when that alarm goes off and you start feeling all the excuses that come in and that bed is cozy i know what you're saying i love my bed too and you then go five four three two one and you get up that discipline that you have at that moment you win that fight that's a big victory and then that that that pattern will carry out throughout the day because once you're up well now that i'm up i might as well go work out because i'm already up and i i feel good that i got up out of bed and i won that battle let me go win another battle i'm gonna go get it done and that discipline carries on throughout the day so now you take that and you you expand that out over a week in a month and you end up with more discipline and it starts with that simple act of getting up and getting out of bed in the morning i work out twice before everyone wakes up so it started off four o'clock in the morning where i'd start and start with my cardio then i'd have breakfast and then i would go to the gym and then i go to work i wake up at 4 30 in the morning because no one else is awake yet so that gives me the opportunity to do things that i need to get done kind of selfishly for myself and the big one in that category is working out and it doesn't feel good at 4 30 when you get up but by the time seven o'clock rolls around and you've already worked out you've already gotten some some work done and you've got some time to say goodbye to your kids before they go to school it's infinitely better than sleeping in until 6 45 and you get out of bed and now you missed your kids going to school or or whatever you you're not prepared for the day it's it's awful wake up at the same time every day and if you pick that time and you start waking up at the same time every day that's very good for you it doesn't have to be 4 30 it could be 6 30. it could be 7 i don't know what your personal schedule is find out a time pick it set it stick to it look everyone has a problem with time but the day is 24 hours and we sleep six now i know there are some out there that say whoa whoa whoa i need eight but i say just sleep a little faster because the bottom line is we have six hours of sleep 24 hours are available so if 18 hours now available do your work your family your hobbies and also to learn something new or to do something new which could easily be that you want to learn a new language to read a book every week or you say i'm going to go and reshape my body so you're going to go and take this hour out of your schedule and say i'm going to train an hour every day so this is for most people a huge challenge but it is totally doable i can tell them because the kind of things that i did when i came to this country i mean i went to school i was working in construction i was working out my five hours a day i was taking acting classes from 8 o'clock at night to 12 midnight i was doing all of those things i wanted to make sure that out of the 24 hours of the day that i don't waste one single hour those hours were too precious and so then i just want to tell people don't give me this thing i have a difficult time with the time and i don't have time for this and i have that you have time you make the time sometimes even if you're the most highly motivated person in the world that grind starts to beat you down a little bit and that's when you have to stop looking at the short-term thing because that's not that's not getting you to get it done and you got to look okay what is the long-term goal that i'm looking at what am i really trying to get done in the long term and you say oh you know what i'm actually waking up today early so i can be ahead of the curve so i can sell more of these widgets or whatever so that i can buy a house and you know what today matters today matters this decision that i'm making right now is that first step it's me taking one stroke swimming in the right direction heading towards the shore and if i don't take this i'm not making any progress i've been struggling struggling struggling we still had all the same problems i stole a lien on the house still facing bankruptcy still fighting like crazy i was still unemployed the next morning the alarm goes off and um i pretended nasa was there it's the stupidest story i literally went five four three two one i counted out loud and then i stood up and i i'll never forget standing there and for the first time in three months i had beaten my habit of hitting the snooze button i couldn't believe it and i thought wait a minute counting backwards is the dumbest thing i've ever heard in my entire life well the next morning i used it again and it worked the next morning i used it again and it worked the next morning i used it again and it worked and then i started to notice something really interesting there were moments all day long all day long just like that five second moment in bed where i knew knowledge what i should do [Music] and if i didn't move within five seconds my brain would step in and talk me out of it every human being has a five second window might even be shorter for you you have about a five second window in which you can move from idea to action before your brain kicks into full gear and sabotages any change in behavior because remember your brain is wired to stop you from doing things that are uncomfortable or uncertain or scary it's your job to learn how to move from those ideas that could change everything into acting on them in the smallest moment when i was in high school i uh early on about 16 years old i decided to become president united states because i thought how can i contribute the most to society and i went to a seminar by a man named jim rohn he's still a seminar speaker i took a week's pay i was working 40 a week as a janitor and um it was 35 for the evening seminar so it was big decision i listened to him speak and i came out so inspired because most of what he said i already believed now as an authority figure saying you really can be this way why pay the price why work this hard why go this far why try to learn this much why try to do it all why try to see it all why try to have it all why do it why learn it why study why put yourself out why try to take on this much responsibility why develop yourself to the full why try to become all that you can possibly become why try to earn as much as you can earn share as much as you can share develop every skill you possibly can see every human you possibly can go to every class you possibly can touch everybody you possibly can why do that much why go that far why share that much [Music] why give that much away why try to see everything why try to do everything why try to become everything that's a good question why and you're the only one personally that can answer that question for yourself you've got to have your own list of why work on your list of whys if the why is powerful the how is easy [Music] if you want to think that enough to go out and fight for it to work day and night for it to give up your time your peace and your sleep for it if all that you dream and scheme is about it and life seems useless and worthless without it and if you gladly sweat for it fred fought and planned for and lose all your terror of the opposition for it and if you simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity strengthen sagacity faith hope and confidence and stern pertinacity if neither cold poverty famisha adult sickness or pain of body and brain can keep you away from the thing that you want dogged and grim you besiege and beset it with the help of god you'll get it but if the why isn't strong if your goals aren't powerful if the vision isn't clear the old prophet said without a vision we die without a vision we perish without a dream or nothing and because he spoke how people live their lives as a result of the story they believe about themselves he interrupted the story that i believed about myself work on your list of why make no small plans for they have no magic to stir men's blood make large plans for they do have magic to stir man's blood impossible is not a fact it's an opinion it's your opinion then they'll say no science shows and i see and how many times the science shows something's impossible now science shows it's possible things are impossible until somebody does it divorce the story of your limitation and marry the truth of your unlimited capacity then the whole game changes success is born out of luck it's awareness of mind that takes advantage of that opportunity you will all be confronted with opportunity you must take advantage of it because if you don't take advantage of your opportunity you'll never realize your dreams whether you want them or not is the irrelevance you don't know that until you achieve it but most people have strategies available or they could get them or you could create them but the problem is you got a story and your story is why it isn't working and the story is i've tried everything if you tried everything you'd be fit you tried everything you'd be profitable if you tried everything you'd be there but people said [Music] i was born into accounts to stay getting a job at the hotel st george was my passport to escape the world that i was born into to start a new world do i have what it takes i said to myself yes so i started pushing and pushing and pushing and pushing self belief at whatever cost you can do more than this if i had to walk ahead and walk it just became just a process of grinding and grinding and grinding a good word for it it's not even a good word for it and just just going further and further and then when i got through running i go to the bike i go to the pool if i got tired somewhere my legs are tired i go to the gym and i develop this crazy workout where i was doing volume things don't happen overnight you have to make the emotional personal investment to make your dreams come true never throw in the towel if i threw in the towel pick it up never give in never ever ever give in [Music] and when you're young it's very easy to give in to walk away it really is so whatever you want to do in your life don't overwork it don't overthink it you realize your dream trust me the question isn't can you handle the situation the question is can you handle your mind can you manage the thoughts and the emotions that are trying to poison your progress forget managing the situation manage your mind no matter whose fault it is that something is broken if it's your responsibility to fix it it's not somebody's fault if their father was an abusive alcoholic but it's for damn sure their responsibility to figure out how they're going to deal with those traumas and try to make a life out of it it's not your fault if your partner cheated and ruined your marriage but it is for damn sure your responsibility to figure out how to take that pain and how to overcome that and build a happy life for yourself [Music] fault and responsibility do not go together it sucks but they don't when something is somebody's fault we want them to suffer we want them punished we want them to to pay we want it to be their responsibility to fix it but that's that's not how it works especially when it's your heart your heart your life your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility alone fear is not real [Music] [Applause] the only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future it is a product of our imagination causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist [Music] as long as we're pointing the finger and and stuck in whose fault something is we're jammed and trapped into victim mode when you're in victim mode you are stuck in suffering the road to power is in taking responsibility your heart your life your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility alone we always talk about hunger and how you always want to outwork your competition regardless of how successful you may be lucky enough to be you want to be hungry if you know what it's like to be hungry you'll never be full it's one thing to be hungry it's another thing when you're starving for greatness and starving for success what if a lot of times i'll be in a 200 mile run or something like that and i'm all jacked up body's broken mind's broken spirit's broken i started to say what if i can pull this off [Music] greatness it's in my dna i know what it's like to operate every single day regardless of the success that i've been a lucky son of a [ __ ] to achieve i operate every day as if i'm starving it's the what if i can pull off a [ __ ] miracle what if i can become someone that no one thinks i can be and just that just me talking about that i have the hair growing up on my off because it makes me just like what if when you're trying to get better in life the grind is forever there is no end there is no countdown as long as you're breathing you gotta keep trying to get better you've never arrived in life stay hard a lot of people say that nothing's impossible [ __ ] i even said that nothing's impossible several times in my life i lied there's a lot of things that are impossible for you to do what happens is when we come across something that's very hard and we try it once or maybe twice we then say we're done we can't do it anymore before you say something's impossible do it and do it and do it to a level that people think that you might be [ __ ] crazy until you say it's impossible people want to know where i find my strength at where i get my strength i get from a lot of places but right now this morning i'm getting it from without a [ __ ] that's up there's not a car there's another person everybody's in your bed sleep dreading that it's a monday haters monday and i'm loving it i'm loving that where everybody's getting weaker i'm getting stronger it's not about the running the swimming to push up to sit-ups that's about what those things do for your mentality you don't get better on the daggone couch you get better by coming out here and getting the [ __ ] [Music] it's one thing to be hungry it's another thing when you're starving for greatness and starving for success the people in the world become weaker people it's by capping your brain it's by putting this kind of garbage in it about not attacking what you're not good at it's about putting a cap on managing your expectations if i lived that way if i had any kind of thought process like managing expectations i would be a 400 pound man by now working some job that made no money and i would not never know my capabilities i would never have become a navy seal i needed to raise a school all these things i did [Music] the mine is a medieval [ __ ] it's constantly fighting against you it's the only thing in the history of the [ __ ] world that shows up on time every time [Music] it has a tactical advantage over you it knows your fears it knows your insecurities it knows everything about you might be the only thing in that world that knows all about you you gotta know about it [Music] it's gonna show up when you don't want to show up it's gonna show up at the worst time possible when you wanna be successful it's gonna say take the easy road take the easy way out you gotta learn your brain like your brain has learned you the mind is the battleground it is the place where the greatest conflict is there are more people in this room having trouble in their mind than there are people having trouble in their finances the struggle is in your mind this is why we have people who go to bed tired and wake up tired slept eight hours and you wake up steal time the reason you wake up tired is that you got sleep but you didn't get rest your mind has been in turmoil all night long you've been wrestling in your sleep have you ever woke up and your bed was wet the bed is all talk just like you've been in a fight because your mind has not rested your body went to sleep but your mind is still caught up in a warfare your mind is the battleground enemies after your mind out to where you to death out to stress you to death how to break you down how to make you quit how to make you think that you can't get up out to make you give up on your dream the warfare is in your mind it's not in your checkbook it's not in your savings account it's not on your job the fight that you got to fight is in your mind and if you whip it in your head you can whip it in your checkbook you can whip it on your jaw you can whip it out of your children but you got to cry it out of your head you'll see a fight sometimes you see a fighter and i mean that fighter is getting his ass whooped from pillar to post he's getting knocked down beat up eyes black and bloody face beaten and everybody is wondering why don't he just quit why don't they just stop if you really want your life to work then you're going to have to give and get on the goddamn road and stick your thumb out and hitchhike start walking now nobody is going to hit you the fulfillment of the dream you have in your mind about a great life you want to live don't write me and tell me that in five years you picture yourself as a pro wrestler but when you answer other portions of the questionnaire you're not even in a film yet this is what's wrong with people today this is what's wrong with people today they think that great lives just fall out of god if they dream hard enough fantasies hard enough and long enough they keep stroking that that their life will turn out just the way they dream it's a fly you're feeding yourself every day alive why would they continue to fight why would they continue to go on even though they are being beaten all across the ring the octagon or the wrestling map why would they do that what would make them do that your life will not wait for you to quit telling yourself lies it will go by and your whole life will be a lie and the answer is simple they cannot help themselves because they are a fighter and being a fighter it is inbred in them to fight no matter how difficult or lost the situation may seem they cannot help themselves it's impossible for them to stop fighting [Music] so don't write me and tell me that kind of [ __ ] i just don't care i don't care i want with every part of my being [Music] for every human being to succeed in life the dreams that they have but i don't give a [ __ ] if you fail i've never met any human being who didn't dab it within themselves to succeed at life but i've met plenty who choose to and if that's your attitude that you're too that you choose to and you're waiting for somebody to rescue you don't waste my time all i want to do is give you some tools with an intense emphasis in the way that only i can and try to bury them knock them in your head so you get out there and you kill it at life when i'm doing nose dives in the parking lot will i continue to fight yes the answer is yes when i'm laying in a hospital bed with tubes and needles sticking out my ass where i continue to fight yes [Music] when i'm laying down on this book will i continue to fight but yes i can't help myself why do you do it i can't help myself i'm a fighter [Music] and that's what fighters do until the good lord throw the town in on sea peak butcher i am going to continue to fight until my corner man throw the towel in until my referees stop the fight i'm going to continue to fight [Music] a lot of people say i just want to sort of they kind of they're kind of dabbling in the idea of improving themselves and the real way to do it is you got to write down what the [ __ ] you want and then go after it if you decide i'm going to get down to bang i'm going to do this i'm going to run a marathon in less than five hours i'm gonna you know whatever the [ __ ] it is you gotta write that [ __ ] down and go for it well my workout i schedule every sunday i schedule everything that i'm gonna do during the week i say i have to do yoga two times this week i have to lift weights three times this week i have to run twice this week and however i fit that in i fed that in but i owe those things and you don't need two and a half hours you can get a great workout in 40 minutes and that's all you need for the whole day 100 you know this idea of time like how much time did you put in today like you could work out in a [ __ ] manner for two hours and not get nearly as much done as you can for a half hour hard just running so i have to get those things in the only exceptions are injuries and sickness i do everything that i can to put my body and my brain in a good place so that i'm i'm keeping my engine smooth i'm changing my oil i'm changing my spark plugs i'm making sure that it's operating i mean it's not going to be perfect but yeah i know that i've done my best to keep it working the best that it can there's consequences that you pay to constantly seeking comfort and and avoiding discomfort and avoiding hard work and those consequences are you're never going to feel self-realized you're never going to feel like you accomplished anything you're never going to have this feeling of understanding that difficulty and struggle and and the ability to push through that is a muscle and you develop that muscle by doing it and once you do you develop a lot of self-satisfaction and you develop peace of mind and you you understand that you can overcome obstacles if you don't have to overcome obstacles you never know whether or not you can unless you're faced with actual adversity you don't understand how you're gonna feel and how you're gonna react when you overcome that adversity things that are difficult when you do these difficult things you're stressing your mind or i should start stressing your mind exercising your mind and exercising your body's ability to manage intense situations it's hard it's very difficult it's very testing and in doing so you you lessen the stress of regular life the more stressful situations that i experience the more i understand what they are and the more i can relax but it's also like the a matter of constantly being exposed to these stressful situations where there's not a long break in between doing stand-up or a long break in between martial arts training where to the point where anxiety can build up and then once you get into it it's almost an it's an unusual situation instead of an unusual one what i tell people is the best advice that i i've ever heard the best advice i ever came up with is that live your life like you're the hero in your movie and right now is when the [ __ ] movie starts and your life is a [ __ ] back disaster pretend you are of right now you are in the part of the movie that starts and it shows you as a [ __ ] loser and just decide not to be a loser anymore live your life like there's a documentary crew following you around and you are analyzing your own do what you would want to do so that your kids one day would look back at it and see that documentary and look on it with pride like wow my dad was a bad [ __ ] he really did what he had to do wow my mom really got her [ __ ] together i'd love a success story but even more than a success story i like a dude who [ __ ] his life up and then gets it back together against dory those are my favorite stories and the way to do that you gotta write [ __ ] down you gotta think that you are the hero in your own [ __ ] movie and then you get a sit down and you gotta write [ __ ] down write down what you need to do truth truth is if you work hard you can achieve your goal truth it's not a question anymore you know what i mean a moment like this proves it when you had the question man i'm doing this cardio in the morning is it worth it man i'm doing these deadlifts today i feel tired is it gonna be worth it man you know what i gotta go to the gym and train today after i've had an entirely difficult work day man i've got these other challenges that are pulling on me pulling on my concentration you know what is this extra effort worth it fast forward stand here in this room forget everything else forget everything else forget that there was any sunlight left what would you spend today thinking about yourself or the man that's beside you or the man that you know you'll get everything in your heart for we get one opportunity in life one chance in life to do whatever you gonna do to lay your foundation to make whatever mom you're gonna make whatever legacy you gonna leave leave your legacy and it's fine through ever wins and losses come a dime with us but effort nobody can judge ever because effort is between you and you everything to do with nobody else so that team that think they ready to see you they think what they see me they saw with themselves because every day is a new day every moment is a new moment so now you got to go out and show them that i'm a different creature now that [Music] so let's do what we do tonight [Music] take ownership take extreme ownership don't make excuses don't blame any other person or any other thing [Music] get control of your ego don't hide your delicate pride from the truth [Music] take ownership of everything in your world the good and the bad take ownership of your mistakes take ownership of your shortfalls take ownership of your problems and then take ownership of the solutions that will get those problems solved take ownership of your mission take ownership of your job of your team of your future and take ownership of your life [Music] and lead lead lead yourself and your team and the people in your life lead them all to victory huh you think it's a game this is real this is real life champ work hard you get what you gotta get you don't work hard you get nada you get nothing you gotta work hard work hard you work hard you get what you gotta get you don't work hard you don't get nothing you don't get nothing nothing zero nothing zero nothing keep working work hard you get what you gotta get i'm going to work i'm going to press tour i'm going to learn i'm going to do everything in my power every single day i'm going to do everything in my power to become a victor and not a victim let's go chad let's go chad pain is temporary it may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place if i quit however it will last forever and so every time something gets hard you quit you call mama i dare you to take a little pain i dare you i dare you not to go home somebody said i don't go home i feel bad go through it you ain't gonna die at the end of pain and success you're not gonna die because you feeling a little pain be committed beyond circumstance and be committed beyond compartmentalization meaning my greatness and my excellence can't be compartmentalized to an individual to an environment to a circumstance meaning it is my essence i show up and i want to impact because this is who i am as an individual it's my essence meaning when the adversity and the opposition hit like the only thing i've been trained to do was to think positive and look positive i've reverse engineered it the only thing i need is breath in my body and i'm a flat out going get it i know how you feel you went to bed last night and all these ideas about you're going to get up this morning it's going to be different things are going to be different today you're going to start start taking steps towards doing some of those projects that you know will get you closer to living that dream life you keep playing over and over in your head different from the practical life that you've got to get up and meet every day to go to the cubicle-infested world and work a job just to pay the bills put gas in the gas tank to take you places where you don't really want to go to be around people you don't enjoy being around put groceries in a refrigerator groceries that keep you fat and lazy keep you away from being healthy and fit in your life pay the mortgage on a house that doesn't inspire you it's just a nuisance and you ain't coming home dude what the [ __ ] are you doing and you what makes it even worse is that you cower before you got from the bedroom to the kitchen mr ugly was there mr resistance right in your ass telling you what you were going to do different than what you want to do and what the inner voice inside of you tells you you need to do with your life telling you that those things that you believe matter and have a purpose in your life really don't that the silly the superficial the stupid does [Music] watching some mind-numbing tv making that list you need to go to the store next time making those phone calls to those people and just chit chatting and gossiping about dumbass things mr resistance will be there every morning morning noon and night and while you were sleeping right in your ass kicking your ass unless you turn around and you start throwing punches [Music] you know what my bottom line goal with one more your nation is is to have everybody out there realize that there is something better for you to do with your time than even being here right now i am mr resistance i'm distracting you from doing the work you need to do get the [ __ ] out of here and do the work of your life how can a person start something and be on fire but the moment something doesn't go the way that they want it to go they're not the same in the goods i've been on this quest to figure out how can a person be on fire and say man this is what i've been put on this earth to do but the moment a couple of things don't come back the way that they thought it would come back they're not the same individual and the words that they once spoke it means nothing to them i've been on this quest to figure out how can a person get on a journey to dreams goals and aspirations and the moment they hit opposition adversity or challenge it doesn't mean anything to him anymore i have invested more than 20 years of my life in the belief in the idea of being able to come to the olympia and to do an absolute best despite whatever the opposition whatever said whatever the beliefs are on stage off stage whatever the oppositionary forces have been my resolve has been to respond as a champion and just aim to represent the better thought of what that means to me [Music] you don't get this far [Music] you don't get to this point and just stop doesn't happen like that [Music] it's always worth it to do your best and to believe in something and to work towards the attainment of the goal and if it is [Music] that you have to expand your vision then you climb higher and you do that and you don't be afraid to it's not possible to be training harder or more consistently or more dedicated than me because i couldn't give a single ounce more to any aspect of this thing that i'm doing so that makes me feel pretty powerful pretty confident [Music] truth truth is if you work hard you can achieve your goal truth it's not a question anymore you know what i mean a moment like this proves it when you had the question man i'm doing this cardio in the morning is it worth it man i'm doing these deadlifts today and i feel tired is it going to be worth it man you know what i got to go to the gym and train today after i've had an entirely difficult work day man i've got these other challenges that are pulling on me pulling all my concentration you know what is this extra effort worth it fast forward stand here in this moment what does it feel like it feels like yes yeah my heart been popping my body been getting hot i thought i was nervous i said damn man i fumbled twice before the game i was nervous yeah i look around and see something people face at the same mine that's all i mean they can't be nervous ain't no way they're nervous i ain't nervous my heart goes down a little bit my heart's going down a little bit i ain't nervous no more i'm like all right all right i'm good come back you come back i'm like damn what is this feeling what is this feeling i'm like am i scared i look away i'm ready [Music] somewhere around the world where's the game it's the game that nobody but you think you could win it's one game around the world and somehow it blessed us in these people it's here because on nobody but the people in this locker room and you got a [ __ ] chance to bust their head [Music] [Music] you
