GET IT DONE MENTALITY | Powerful Motivational Speeches | Wake Up Positive

we spend a lot of time and we exhaust a lot of effort looking for that so-called Edge capturing the little changes or advantages that add value and ultimately push us closer to where we want to be right these so-called life hacks are everywhere from you name it reshuffling daily tasks to activities you know exercises that enhance our Performance Food supplements apps the list goes on and on and I'm speaking broadly here intentionally because that quote unquote Edge could mean a million different things to a million different people [Music] obviously tremendous value there in finding ways to become better faster and stronger but why this topic excites me in what I'm specifically looking forward to exploring is what I believe to be the most important Advantage there is and that's consistency consistency the unsexy unremarkable answer right but you can always distill everything else down into that simple art of showing up being there every day to me that begins it all that will always be the foundation we build everything on over time it becomes the reason you win or you lose and I believe that wholeheartedly like nothing matters if you aren't locked in and repeatedly making the daily effort no pill is gonna make you a starting point guard or a stellar performer at work or you know an amazing parent that's dedicated concentrated consistent effort a metaphor I like that demonstrates this process to me is trying to get fit right whether you run or go to the gym whatever it is it's much easier to stay home and take creatine protein supplements than to actually show up to the gym every day than to actually put in the miles every day right but without showing up all that other stuff is meaningless and that's the heart of what I'm getting at it's the lifting that's transformative everything else is supplemental it's even in the term right supplements now is this obvious sure but man do we forget the obvious and there is a hefty price for doing so it's like yeah we should look for advantages along the way and this becomes more and more relevant uh you know the longer we've been immersed in the process those little details mean more and more but they never mean more than having a goal and committing to it every single day never forget that showing up is power there's a few quotes I like um by James Clear who's considered by many to be an expert on habit building that hammer down on the power of consistency he says improving by one percent isn't particularly notable sometimes it isn't even noticeable but it can be far more meaningful especially in the long run when it goes on to say if you can get one percent better each day for one year you'll end up being 37 times better by the time you're done and I think that's what gets me right that line one percent better every day means 37 times better in a year nothing can replicate that there are no shortcuts to arrive at that type of progress or growth none and sure the environment can change there are times where the landscape shifts right under your feet you have to reach further outside your comfort zone than you ever have but that's still a product of your commitment to improve every single day [Music] the context changes the details change but you still show up one percent is essentially a rhythm it's automated it says just like breathing air and drinking water this is what I do a dollar in the bank every day [Music] what you're doing is giving life to a compound effect that will change everything in my world my showing up is every day how do I become a little bit better at storytelling how do I refine that intersection of personal development and entertainment so that you know we can uh enjoy and get the most out of the journey how do I make this brand matter a little more mean a little more be a little more effective that's my Super Bowl every day and funny story I was driving this morning listening to a podcast about AI right everyone seems to be talking about AI right now and for a good reason I heard one of the guests say that in 10 years there will be two types of businesses those that successfully leverage AI and those that failed that are no longer in existence that is a hypothesis obviously but it's eye-opening right AI is going to change everything and I had to check my initial Instinct that was honestly oh here we go right another way for people to cut corners and cheat and I I had to pause and think about it like that's just a terrible way to look at a new technology that's a scarcity mindset instead think about the opportunity remind yourself that you show up every day with the same Mission and the same goal you'll earn that one percent every day and this just another supplement to your growth right utilized correctly at least in the current moment this is whey protein or creatine for your lifting at the gym so leverage it right that's all same with any new technology and the most Comfort there there was comfort in looking back at thinking look at all the previous technology it's Evolution look at the social platforms how we interact now through it all the changes the highs lows ups and downs you showed up you held on to that North Star and over and over again made necessary adjustments right that commitment has been everything YouTube's algorithm changes did not kill me it ended up making me a better Storyteller writer speaker covid you know pushing my live speaking engagements aside for a while causing me to further digitize my business model that didn't hurt me it made the brand bigger short form content blasting off onto the scene tick tocks IG reels that didn't hurt me it forced me to be smarter and more thoughtful about how to integrate short-term content into my long-form content how to make them work together it ended up being an advantage right the bottom line being when you are consistent when you show up for your thing no matter what no matter what changes are occurring no matter what's happening externally when you're there for your mission that allows you to make whatever little changes need to be made along the way being there for yourself committing to the twists and turns is everything and it may be extreme to say especially in such a rapidly changing environment right now but my mentality is who cares who cares about all the detail and the minutia and the externality who cares you know what matters you know what you're here to do so keep that front and center Simplicity being the ultimate sophistication doesn't get simpler show up never let that one percent that James Clear talks about out of your sight and then make the adjustments as necessary integrate the life hacks and the tech evolutions right fighting for that one percent every single day becomes 37 times better in a year think about how powerful that is let the world argue over this and that let them be on this path versus that path your strength is entrusting yourself to adjust along the way but knowing that through it all you will be there every morning when the sun comes up the light moves through your window you'll wake up committed to being a little better than you were yesterday and that's why through it all the turbulence the highs the lows the ups and the Downs you will still be standing there ready for whatever comes next [Music] you weren't put here to live in the shadows of life to exist beyond the sun's grasp to stay on the outside looking in no you weren't put here to live in the shadows of life it's important to remember the difference between now and forever the distinction between today and tomorrow because from time to time they look deceptively similar [Music] especially when we inevitably find ourselves in the darkest of times [Music] when despite our best efforts our world is reduced to Shadows void of Hope when tomorrow and today have merged into one endless entity it always seems to be in these times that we forget that right now is just a moment not an assigned permanent but a bridge to something great as Viktor Frankel says if there is meaning in life at all then there must be meaning in suffering foreign we all suffer we all hurt we all go through periods of time where we can't see or hear or feel anything beyond the darkness we find ourselves in but it's there Darkness cannot be defined without light it's in the definition darkness is a partial or total absence of light they need each other Darkness and Light the one thing that can bring Darkness to its knees is out there everywhere all around it and if there was ever a reason to be hopeful enthusiastic if there's ever a reason to believe is that a new life is always a light switch away it's that darkness is as temporary as the day and the antidote requires only that you believe it to be true only that you find the result to reach one foot out to remind yourself of the sun's warmth and the infinite Beauty of a world Beyond this temporary Darkness because you you weren't put here to live in the shadows of life but to re-emerge like a rocket through the Earth's stratosphere to swing from star to star like life is a playground and you make the rules and I think when we look back we'll be nothing but grateful for those times of Darkness they in a sense prepared us for the road ahead by giving us what we need most perspective life lessons a road map to follow because you don't appreciate the light the Sun the clearer blue skies the wind on your face the sound of the waves that chirping of the birds no you don't see the beauty in any of that until even if for a moment it is taken away you don't learn about life's abundance until you come face to face with scarcity you don't learn to give until you've had your world taken away you don't learn to love until you've experienced heartbreak you don't learn courage until you've been overcome by fear you don't learn to grow until you've been truly stuck you don't learn to believe until you've looked in the mirror and doubt Piers back you don't know who you are until you learn what you're not see everyone finds themselves having wandered into the dark sometimes of their own volition sometimes of fate but like leaves changing color in the fall the Earth on its Journey around the Sun a wave emerging and falling back into that which It came it is not an end but a beginning life's way of preparing us for what's to come introducing us to the infinite possibility of tomorrow because you weren't put here to live in the shadows of life but to emerge from them to light up the world no you weren't put here to live in the shadows of life [Music] it's time the world will not stop spinning the clock won't stop ticking days won't stop slipping by [Music] things won't suddenly get easier the difficulty does not remove itself the path does not narrow it's time that perfect moment it doesn't exist a Flawless beginning is fiction the Stars will never align for you it's time [Music] tomorrow [Music] not someday down the road but this very second so you don't need all the answers you don't need to know or be sure or be armed with guarantees your job your only requirement is to begin it's time to trade fear for opportunity someday for right now it's time to stop thinking small stop seeing what you want as a reach to stop looking at success as a stranger it's time to sit down and convince yourself that what you want can be accomplished when it's as real as the space in front of you when it's as probable as the completion of a single step it will happen because it has to It's Time at some point you have to see that you're not simply playing conservatively you're not being a perfectionist it's not about being okay with where you are know if we're going to get anywhere let's be truthful let's call it what it is these things these ideas these excuses are a derivative of fear the problem with possibility is that it's incredibly hard to quantify technically if you've never had it you've never lost it and that is how we rationalize staying where we are that's why we compartmentalize the things we want most but for a second let's be bigger start from the premise that what life can provide or become is Limitless it is truly infinite and when you sit on an idea or you refuse to begin you are in fact losing every single thing around you everything at one point it began at one point someone summoned the courage to reach out and take what's in front of them maybe you do the same maybe you take that step maybe the first few times go terribly wrong maybe it's terrifying maybe you find out who has your back who your real friends are and maybe those truths scare you but guess what guess what those steps turn into confidence Amplified purpose and most importantly more steps you get to see right in front of you as your demons diminish evaporate the higher you climb the better the view the longer the road the greater the experience I would rather fall a thousand times and continuously get back up stronger than be someone who looks at the world through a window like it's some fairy tale because at the end of the day sure they have no scratches scrapes or bruises but I have no limits and I'd make that trade any day it is time to stop separating what you want from what you have and take that step forward it's time to go get it No One Is Stopping You Nothing is Stopping You and in fact if you choose to be you are unstoppable so take a look in the mirror lace up your shoes open the door and begin it's time [Music] thank you every run Tells A Tale all those streets sidewalks and paths paint a picture each footstep enshrines forever a moment in time [Music] that comes together to comprise the now for my time in Cape Cod Massachusetts it was asking why not why not find out if I could be a little faster than yesterday my first dance with the clock waking up early running up snake Pond Road sun shining in my face inhaling that crisp morning air it was running along the canal where the distance was precisely mapped out in paint on the ground below tattooing a path that seemed to go for as long as I wanted to push forward it taught me that we could do amazing things when we decided to that we have more in us than we could ever imagine [Music] in a sense Cape Cod was my eyes opening up to the idea that what life gives us is directly correlated to what we ask of ourselves so ask for a lot in Boston it was exploration it was pushing myself harder and further but also stretching my world view wider a time for transformation it was beginning to see the mundane the commonplace for the wolves in sheep's clothing that they are I began exploring city streets like I simultaneously began exploring life's possibility I saw how taking new routes often came with two distinct components one an unsettling nervous feeling in my stomach and two an eventual gratitude for finding the courage to go there the world will never tell you to go where you have not yet gone it will never assign you a map and hand you Keys a plane or a bus ticket that desire must be cultivated internally Boston was me realizing the unknown wasn't a border keeping me in it was a hand extent [Music] in Roanoke Virginia it was in a sense a rebirth moving away post College everything was new was foreign but everything was exciting I had to learn who I was in new surroundings with new people my Nike running shoes took me through Woods downside streets Into the Heart of downtown I ran and I ran and I ran because with all that change it was one of the few constants in my life it brought me to the realization that with so many moving pieces so many things shuffling in and out there are parts of me that are non-negotiable that in life it's okay and even necessary to change but one should never lose themselves in that process they call Roanoke the Star City of the South for the giant glowing star that lights up on the mountain overlooking the city perhaps a reminder to never lose that North Star in our own lives in South Florida it was about connecting the dots that had been relentlessly doing now it was seeing seeing myself as that person as someone ready for more worthy of a spot at the table capable of creating Monumental change those soft sand runs reinforce the notion that I get stronger when the world moves under my feet those hundreds of thousands of footsteps under the hot sun reiterated that I'm willing to do what is often deemed unnecessary or even over the top and lastly living in the luxury of no winter remind me to appreciate the Sun the perks the advantages and the victories we collect along the way but to never take them for granted to be ready because life's Winters don't always wait until after fall to show up at your doorstep see every step we take is a lesson every Street sidewalk and path is part of a story and sometimes we don't understand until we look back at the chapters we don't get it until we have the luxury of hindsight I didn't know that I looked back on snake Pond Road as sacred ground as a launch pad to everything that would come next no in the moment it was nothing more than a temporary Escape from a world that felt bigger than me I didn't know I'd see the city of Boston as the place that taught me to question the normalcy of everyday life show me that one could be moving awfully fast and still going nowhere at all no in the moment it was merely a decision to dip my toe in the water to entertain the Curiosity and sense of adventure that always seemed a few feet ahead I had no idea Roanoke Virginia would be where I learned that as Emerson said to be yourself in a world constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment that there are non-negotiables and Shining down above all the noise and intricacies of everyday life exists the path and the resources to become who you were meant to be no in the moment I was simply stepping off my branch and Landing somewhere new South Florida would be my consistent reminder to level up to hold tightly that intersection of love and value to find gratitude for what I have and maintain faith in bringing about what has not yet materialized know at the time I was taking my life my business and my running shoes to warmer weather you may not see it now but your path the one that led you to today is the right path you are exactly where you need to be for the beginning of your next adventure but here's the thing you you must keep lacing up your shoes keep getting up in the morning and chasing those sunrises keep dreaming growing keep your eyes ears and heart open because the world has so much to give you but you have to allow your feet to carry you there you have to give yourself permission to take it all in the normalcy of right now down the road will end up being anything but normal steps or the steps that make you who you are so own them believe in them and most importantly keep taking them [Music] human beings don't see we interpret we don't take in what happens we take in the implication of what happens everything in our world is story this is similar to the idea of to ideologically different news organizations right reporting on the same event neither will be completely factual they'll both uphold their individual narratives they're not black and white they're interpreting Grace space and our our individual lives are no different we are our own broadcasting channels using data to support our individual narratives see we know what this story is going to say before the story occurs because we will make it so we'll make life fit our beliefs that's what it means to be human so here's where the value lives in the context of this message when we find ourselves in a consistent state of despair or frustration or anxiety fools Erin to look for Solutions in the external world because everything we find everything we come across will support our current beliefs our current story that's what we'll keep playing in our heads and it's why money can't bring fulfillment and another person can't take you from incomplete to content it's why status will never equate to happiness those Acquisitions are like putting premium fuel in a car with a broken engine it's just not the answer that we hoped it would be to change your world you must change your story whatever it is that needs to be changed the location the objective the characters maybe the journey all together but it's the neural network behind your eyes that must change not the detail it takes in and so if you feel stuck or feel like where you want to be seems unrealistic you have to know right now that the very fact you you think that way is the problem so ask yourself not your girlfriend or your boss or your neighbor but ask yourself what a turnaround looks like do you know or have you acclimated to being unhappy have you even asked yourself What happiness looks like or is your personal Broadcasting channel so a hell-bent on ensuring your life Outlook stays the way it is that it's not even paying attention to the data it takes in see I believe a wholeheartedly that the first step and any facet of transformation is remembering that you have control that things in your life that bring you down or hold you back can be changed in fact the very things working against you can work for you but you have to be aware you have to think about it now I'm not a believer in Magic right I don't think you sit back say I don't want to be unhappy ever again snap your fingers and smile until the end of Eternity but I do believe that once we're aware of our manufactured shackles and our our self-imposed limitation we can start chipping away doing the one two or three small things every day tiny swings at the tree until it falls right if it's I'm not happy with my work life well what is the better situation look like what bridge is that Gap I'll wake up 20 minutes earlier on weekdays and master Microsoft Excel I'll send one message on LinkedIn asking an expert about the field I want to move into I'll read 20 Pages a day in a book related to business you think those things are small see what they look like compounded in a year foreign not only that this is the most important part you are taking the power back you're taking control and that's what feels good that's where we get our identity you get a little disappointed at how you've let your physique slip when you look in the mirror don't be sad about it every day again ask yourself what the inverse looks like and start doing small things subtract one sports drink and add one green smoothie double your water intake do a 10 minute daily workout on YouTube like there's the pieces are out there and into find yourself again is to realize that they're out there realize that you're playing a movie on Loop in your head that isn't right it's it's just not you and well what movie do you want to be playing in an Ideal World scroll through the library find it click play and start doing the small things that make it real there's so much power in progress I've seen this unfold in different areas of my life but particularly as a writer as a speaker it's like you identify who you want to be you start making Tiny Steps and after a while you're surrounded by the change that you've created how can you not believe something that you're you're starting to live it has to become your identity because it is you it's around you you read it so look around and realize the malleability of your situation and if what you find is not you good here is your opportunity to tear down the old and construct the new you can do that because you have control because it's within your grasp so start the new movie the new story make yourself the hero [Music] and set out to find yourself again life is delicate defined as easily broken or damaged fragile there's nothing around you that's forever there's no permanence in our world and sometimes this is a difficult thing to grasp certainly it's why we long for patterns of consistency where we can find them we do everything we can to manufacture some semblance of predictability for as long as we can doing our best to repress the idea that everything we know is as temporary as a Setting Sun I had a family member rushed to the ER a few days ago and thank God she's completely fine she's back home she's doing her thing but I can't stop thinking about the call how it shook me to my core how my walls of certainty and predictability were breached it was this unsettling reminder that Life as we know it isn't guaranteed the things we love they're not untouchable foreign I had to look my helplessness in the face for the first time in a while and realize well just how little of the world is minded control which brings me back to a conversation I had when I was younger I talk about my grandfather often in my work primarily because of a few impactful conversations that we had and it's interesting to me how relevant they continue to be I remember a handful of times we talked from childhood and it's like I pieced them together retroactively things make sense as I get older and kind of figure out what it all means one of my last conversations with him we went to this little diner called Leo's along the Cape Cod Canal and he said to me there are things now that seem impossible but as you grow and you get older they make sense right even the most challenging things become manageable and I get mad at myself for not understanding the contacts at the time or putting two and two together but basically he was diagnosed with the brain tumor and he knew what that meant right and was it was basically giving me a heads up like kiddo this is gonna be tough but hang in there that was one of the first times I've dealt with loss of that magnitude right and when you're young so many things seem stable they seem certain you don't yet get the fluidity of life that stream is moving and no matter what it's going to continue to move sometimes that means it takes you places and presents realities that overtake the map that you created for the world what you understood what you hoped for that little understanding of what life means and I guess I wanted to pick up the Baton from that conversation and pass it on to you with maybe a more comprehensive viewpoint because I think contained in those words is a message so powerful so important that we really can't afford to miss it it's like yes life is unpredictable and yes life can hurt and humble us and knock down what we thought was certain it can challenge what we believed and Shake our foundations it can make us feel small in a universe that stretches beyond comprehension of all of that we are equipped with something that can't be broken the only thing that can't be ripped away the Sun around which everything else revolves your ability to endure your strength to carry on to take one step forward whether it feels like you're entrenched in the depths of hell or swinging from the stars in the sky your resilience your ability to not only handle life around you but Rise From the Ashes of its turbulence and its misfortune that will never leave you if you don't let it Victor Frankel has said everything can be taken from a man but one thing the last of the human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances to choose One's Own Way see life might be more than we can control or comprehend but amidst the might and power of its ocean our determination is Unsinkable believe me there are times when you hear this and think well okay that doesn't affect me I'm good I'm doing my thing right just like I did sitting at that table over eggs and bacon that morning and man I hope that's the case and I hope it stays that way but life has a way of keeping us on our toes it never lets us stray too far from the realization that to be human is in some way or another to suffer it's inescapable and that's not to scare you it's to remind you that one storms will come and to regardless of how heavy the rain falls or how loud the thunder roars it will pass and you are strong enough to hang on until it does that as you grow and as you evolve you become more and more capable of seeing that inevitable not as the world's personal Vendetta against you but it's your time to dig deep and find within yourself the strength and the courage that was there all along and that's what that morning was a message that look what's coming will hurt but you can handle it and not only that every time life brings you to your knees you get back up stronger that doesn't mean it's easy but the point is not that it's supposed to be easy it's that you're capable of handling a world that is not easy you're capable of navigating a reality that is not simple a sea that is not smooth sailing you're equipped to handle the complex and sometimes that little reminder is the greatest gift one can receive there's so much I can't control but my God there's so much I can the reality you have mapped out the day-to-day the things you've come to know and rely on as much as we wish they weren't they are delicate withering away with time susceptible to the intricacies the trials and tribulations of life but your heart your soul your world within that is Untouchable it's the Divine the sacred it's strength Limitless it's breath endless so remember even in the darkest of times you are the very light you long for and as long as you believe that there will always be a path there's a saying that will always be true it will be true on your best days and your worst it will be true after Victory and it will be true after defeat it will be true when you have momentum and it'll be true when you're down on your luck doing everything in your power create momentum that saying is your future begins now hey on the surface might not seem like much sure my future Starts Now I know that everyone knows that well if that's true if everyone does in fact know that why do we spend so much time stuck reliving our past unable to break free why do we remain terrified to change why do we feel such a connection to who we were how others saw us why must we remain loyal to the character we've been playing in our mental autobiographies see here's the thing about the past and the future one is fixed can't be changed and the other will it's waiting for you to tell it what it is one is expired time one is planned to be determined it's interesting how we continue to conflate the two Epictetus has said that the more things we value outside of our control the less control we have [Music] well I'm going to be the messenger here relaying the precious truth that yesterday is in fact out of our control what can be controlled is where we go from here The Next Step meaning today is not your failures it's where you take those lessons it's not your mistakes but it's what the stronger you can now endure because of them it's not the dreams you let slip away but where your Pursuit might take you now and yeah yesterday certainly contributes to your outlook as all information does it's value considered its impact assessed it guides you but it's not you and that difference is astronomical there's a question about the role the past plays in our lives that has to mean something right your past is in many ways your story it's why you think the way you do it's contributed to your understanding of the world it will always be a part of you and I believe that but I also believe the past is a story and just like reading one chapter in a book simply sets the stage for the next one without controlling its direction so does every day that has led you up to now life gives us the tools to experience to grow learn and then shed that which does not coincide with what's important your failures are not you but they are precious and that they push you towards what you'd like to be see you can experience something and not be that thing as crucial guard says if you label me you negate me if you Proclaim me to BX you're essentially stealing from me the infinite possibility that is the future yesterday has nothing to do with what I can become and so taking it a step further never mind being labeled by someone else How Could You label yourself and see it as anything but self-sabotage so you're never defined by your past but always learning from it it's not who you are it's the cheat codes for what you can be without that Winding Road of Misfortune and mistakes the incredible expansion we long for doesn't materialize imagine if everyone who ever felt down in life felt like a loser who temporarily lost hope imagine if they looked in the mirror and said okay this is who I am now there would be no Triumph in the world because anything meaningful requires the resiliency to map our way from the hell that was our darkest moments to what will become our proudest moments destiny destiny destiny means that you separate the finite from the infinite what you used to call yourself has prepared you to move towards the horizon but what you used to call yourself is also as irrelevant now as those seconds that you watched tick away [Music] seconds that maybe you're not proud of seconds that perhaps taught you about the world seconds that gave you a glimpse of what's possible unveiled the happiest of times all of it in its own unique way it brought value but none of it is your future why because back to that beautiful all-powerful sentence your future begins now your destiny is awaiting its marching orders and all you have to decide as you stand today is where that ship will sail thank you [Music] everyone wants to change the world but no one wants to change himself [Music] this was written by Leo Tolstoy in reference to people's proclivity to point out at the world and project blame rather than to point in it themselves and ask why what can I do and how can I be better which when you think about it as basically a shark forfeiting its bite right or a bird giving up its wings our personal agencies without a doubt our superpower [Music] yet from my vantage point sometimes feels like we're walking away from that superpower a tiny step at a time little by little day by day we're allowing greatness to fade while bringing about the death of the hero and well that's a a pretty big claim what could I possibly mean by this it's funny when people ask me what I'm most proud of you know my mind pretty quickly goes to my work the brand that I've dedicated the last Almost decade to building think that's I think it's a product of my answer but it's not my answer what I'm most proud of is chipping away at the monster that is the victim mentality you know my default when things went wrong for so long was to feel bad for myself it was easier to be the victim and sulk than it was to keep taking the hit it's like a cheat code when you can just bask in your sorrow and hate the world you don't have to do anything it's like a giant ibuprofen for for the discomfort that is life but it relieves this symptom not the cause and to understand to overcome this world view is like being gifted with a new pair of eyes and what I learned was that self-pity it gets you nothing it leaves you resentful disappointed envious wandering down a path that is not your own what I learned was that my story needed a hero that's why as I grew I spoke about the power and the beauty of doing the difficult thing running in the Rain Chasing the metaphorical fireflies taking the last train home see until you immerse yourself into that vast unknown you stay in a Cell of your own making you build walls of limitation and you exist entirely within them [Music] and as time has progressed I look back there are two things worth mentioning one is that we find life's meaning in the difficult thing two there is a fundamental misunderstanding and even from time to time contempt for what the difficult thing means for those who speak of the difficult thing is though hard truths are in some way inconsiderate like diverging from the comfort of one's feelings implies the lack of empathy but that's wrong if you love someone if you care about someone if you care about yourself you say what is true what is true is that the shelter and the temporary comfort of victimhood is the high not worth the withdrawal not worth the suffering it got me nowhere it will get you nowhere and that is a reality that will never cease to be true [Music] we live in a world that's been shaped entirely by those who found the courage to do the difficult thing everything around us is a product of the courageous decision to take the now and bend it and that means taking hits it means being criticized it means by definition you are choosing to be uncommon change things yourself and by default the world around you nothing wrong with being common quitting is relatable failure is relatable falling short is relatable they're all human and we've all been there but these Stock features of humanity they are not worth celebrating we don't put on pedestals the familiar no we put on pedestals the times that we've reshaped The Familiar in a world of participation trophies is a world that is disincentivized that which makes life worth living it cripples the very Pursuit ignites the soul a push towards the extraordinary it's time we Resurrect The Hero see through the facade of short-term comfort that leads to long-term emptiness in a world where attention is currency it's time we acknowledge the payment we receive when we play victim buys only despair sure we're flawed that will always be true but we are capable of manufacturing greatness we're capable of capturing hearts and captivating Minds If You Could Only See within yourself that story Unwritten if you could feel the greatness that awaits the roads to be traveled and mountains to be climbed there would be no debate there be no hesitation about that Marsh to the belly of the Beast if only to show that our demons exist solely where we allow them to Resurrect The Hero fight those battles
