Your 20s

are the best years of your life. You're

young, you probably look pretty good,

[music] you're healthy, you know, you've

got all these things going on for you. I

want you to have some fun and I want you

to have adventures.

>> [music]

>> I don't want you to be 22 and go and get

a job at Goldman Sachs for the rest of

your life. So that you need fun, you

need adventure, you need some looseness.

You know, you want some experiences,

[music]

but it has to have some direction to it.

It can't just be I'm going to write

poetry, I'm going [music] to do rock and

roll, I'm going to go and learn

chemistry, I'm going to, you know, come,

you know, this that and the other.

There's no connection at all between all

of these things. [music] Just trying

everything for the sake of novelty,

that's a recipe for not being successful

because what you want to happen is

you're 30 years [music] old now. You've

let your 20s are behind you. It's

usually a time of reckoning [ __ ] I'm

not so young anymore. Okay, you know,

I'm getting older. [music] I've had my

fun, I've had adventure. I'm ready for

something serious and I've learned some

real skills.

>> You think when you're young that you

have all this time.

You have no time. There's there's

there's no time. I mean, [music] one of

the one of the quotes on the wall in the

gym in there is

um,

>> [music]

>> you know,

there is no tomorrow from from from

Rocky III.

>> Damn, Rock, come on.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

>> TOMORROW.

>> There is no tomorrow.

There is no tomorrow.

THERE IS NO TOMORROW.

>> You know, there is no tomorrow. [ __ ]

that [ __ ] Let's let's let's get all

this [ __ ] done today.

>> You're lazy.

You know exactly what to do, exactly

what to do cuz even me in my state

[music] of I can't read or write. I know

exactly what to do. But don't be mad.

When you're laying there in your bed and

you're in the [ __ ] [music] hospital

and you're 70, 80, 90 years old and

you're thinking

man, I like I didn't do something.

Cuz you did.

You didn't do it.

You didn't do [ __ ]

>> If you will change,

everything will change for you.

You don't have to change [music] what's

outside. All you got to change is what's

inside.

To have more, you simply have to become

more. And then he said, "Don't wish it

was easier, wish you were better."

[music]

Don't wish for less problems, wish for

more skills.

Start working on yourself, [music]

making these personal changes, and he

said it'll all change for you.

>> You have to envision something that is

more powerful than you.

Something has to get you out of bed.

And you have to create it. It has to be

false.

Cuz you're not it.

You're a fat piece of [ __ ] That's the

reality of it.

So, you have to create

a false reality

to live in that just to get

to work on yourself.

>> How can you not stop and be like, "Bro,

I'm the only one. I am the only one

paying the price.

>> [music]

>> I am the only one doing what's required.

Everybody else is sitting at home eating

Doritos, and I'm out here in the snow

getting better. How can you not be

excited about that?

>> Not no hacks. There's no hacks, bro.

It's you against you.

You against you.

And if you misunderstand [music]

that,

you got a real problem.

If you misunderstand what I'm saying

right now today,

the problem is you.

And you don't want to fix it.

>> Understand that it is you

who is responsible for being in the

position that you're in.

Not anybody else.

Can't be making excuses. It is you.

>> This isn't a hack.

This has [music] to be in you.

Something in you

has to wake up.

And usually the only person that can

wake it up is you.

You have to explore, examine the insides

of yourself.

And what do you really want out of life?

Your friend, and a lot of people out

here, just don't want it.

But guess what?

Not fun with your life.

So, I know why you go on Instagram. I

know why you cuz

you just have the time.

You have the time.

Because you don't want to put that time

into bettering oneself.

>> See, look, the clock [music] is ticking.

The clock never stops ticking. Time

don't wait for nobody. So, why you

sitting here wasting your day away

thinking that you deserve tomorrow

[music] when you playing with today?

That is

That's crazy.

Until you realize that you wasting your

life away and that you not going to be

able to get this time back

just setting yourself up for failure.

And I hope that you can live with that.

I can't though.

>> The clock is ticking.

Your story's going to be over one day.

There's going to come a day where the

last words of the final chapter are

going to be written and the book will

close. What do you want your story to

say? Is your story [music] going to

write that you left a positive impact on

this world? That you helped other

people? That you did your very best to

leave the world better than you found

it? Or is your story going to write that

[music] you sat around for 80 years and

did absolutely nothing? That you just

sat around living for short-term

pleasures and cheap dopamine

>> [music]

>> and tickled yourself for 80 years until

you died? What's your story going to

say? And a better question is if your

story ended today, what would it say?

Are you happy with what it would say? If

you're not, then I would do something

[music] about it. I would drop

everything and start trying to write

your story the way you want it to be

written.

>> There comes a point in life as a man, as

a woman, as a boy, as a girl that we

come to realization that nobody is

coming to save us. But yet, [music] we

still haven't taken any action towards

the life that we always dreamed about.

Now, let me [music] give you the secret.

If you will change, everything will

change for you. To have more, you simply

have to become more. Don't wish it was

easier, wish you were better. Don't wish

for less problems, wish for more skills.

[music] Learn to work harder on yourself

than you do on your job.

>> The biggest risk to your future isn't

your competition. It's the distractions

you insist on keeping in your life

rather than [music] doing the things you

know you should be doing but aren't.

People delay doing things they don't

like for longer than it takes to do

them.

>> No more gray decisions in your life.

It either serves the man or the woman

you want [music] to become, the business

you want, the father you want to be,

those, the wife you want to be, the mom

you want to be, the leader [music] you

want to be, the business you want to

have. Your actions either serve and take

you towards [music] that version of

yourself

or those actions take you away from

that. If you get rid of well, maybe kind

of, you know, surfing on my phone a

little bit or doing this little bit or

bingeing on Netflix a little bit or

hanging out with those [music] negative

people a little bit. No, no, no. You

want to go to the next level? You don't

know what it's [music] like to generate

the kind of money, impact, and purpose

that you know you can and want to? Then

there's no gray anymore.

>> You cannot change your life unless you

change something.

If you always do what you [music] always

did, you'll always get what you always

got. No matter what it is. Many times

you say to yourself, "I got to lose

weight. I got to lose weight. I'm too

fat."

And then, you know [music] what?

During the day you eat, you eat at

night, and the next day you get mad at

yourself. Well, what do you want?

What do you want? You got to change

something.

>> That's okay.

Nobody does. Go do something. Do the

best thing that you can think [music]

of. Put the best plan you have into

practice. It's not going to be perfect

and it will change along the way, but it

will change partly because you become

disciplined pursuing the path and as you

become disciplined, you become wiser,

and as you become wiser, you become able

to formulate better and better plans.

>> Whenever you try [music] to do something

out of the ordinary, people will line up

to tell you that you can't do it, why

you can't do it, that you lose your

time, you lose is money, that you will

in effect die in the desert. Even people

who should know better will [music] try

to discourage you. To achieve anything

greater worthwhile, you must train

yourself to rise [music] above these

people ignoring them and pressing on

towards your goal regardless.

>> Stop saying what [music] if and start

saying why not.

Some people are going to live with the

what if for the rest of their [music]

lives. When I get old and I'm I'm on my

deathbed, I don't want to look back

[music] to my 20s and say, "Man, what if

I would have took that chance? What if I

would have just started? What if I would

have took the [music] first step?"

Taking the first step got us exactly

where we are today.

You take [music] a chance to do some

[ __ ] that you love or some [ __ ] that you

saw in a dream, it could change your

life. But exactly where you are right

now is always going to be there. It's

never going to go anywhere. Your

hometown is going to be the same. People

are going to be doing the same [ __ ]

around you. But a chance for [music] you

to get out of where you're at, to step

out and take a chance on life, man, it

could be the best decision you ever made

in your life. But you can't sit down on

the what if and sit there on your ass

[music] and think, "Damn, that could be

me one day." Or what what what what

would it be like to be there?

>> Exactly.

>> Go do it.

>> Whenever I was in college and I was

feeling really stressed out and I was

overwhelmed at times and I didn't

[music] like what the situation was,

I would always say, "What would I tell

[music] my future son?"

Because if I can't tell him to get

through adversity [music] right now, if

I can't tell him to keep pushing

through, if I can't say if I don't live

that, if I don't live through that, how

am I going to ever give him genuine

advice one day to get [music] through it

on his own?

So you got to think, man. Like sometimes

you go through things and you don't know

the reason at first, but it's not for

right [music] now. It's to help someone

later, like your son or your daughter.

Sometimes you're living through the

toughest thing ever and you don't know

why it's happening to you.

But sometimes, guys, it's bigger than

[music] what you can even see right now.

Sometimes your son going to be looking

you in the eye and say, "Dad, [music]

how do I get through this?" And then

what are you going to tell him when you

quit before?

What are you going to tell him when you

took shortcuts?

That's the point, man. [music] There's

so much stuff that's bigger than you

right now that you're going through for

a bigger purpose than you can even

imagine.

>> Hey, guess what?

It's going to be the hardest thing you

ever did. It's going to take a long ass

time. It's probably going to take three

or four times as long as you think it's

going to take. [music]

Uh along the way you're going to lose

all your friends.

You're probably going to lose some

significant others, too,

>> [music]

>> along that way. Uh you're going to get

made fun of, you're going to get

bullied, you're going to get harassed,

you're going to get attacked on the

internet daily. All right? You're going

to [music] struggle. You're going to

make mistakes. You're going to owe

people money. You're going to your bank

account. There's going to be multiple

days where you [music] don't think that

you're going to make it. And and and

those days sometimes last for months.

There's going to be

Nobody's going to relate to you. No

one's going to understand why you're

[music] doing it. Everybody's going to

question it. You're going to have to

answer it every single time. It's going

to piss you off. And bro, this is the

life that you're choosing.

Like you're choosing. And then you can

And then so you can't be surprised that

it's hard. That's This is what you're

signing up for.

>> Never complain, never explain. And what

it means is don't complain about life.

Don't explain what you're doing or why

you're doing it. Just do it. By whining

and complaining, all you're doing is

making people think bad things about

you. Looking

You have a mindset [music] where

everything is is a kind of a potential

complaint. Stop whining and stop

explaining [music]

yourself and just do things in the

world. And let your actions speak for

themselves. [music]

>> If you want to be really great at

something, you kind of have to be out of

your mind. But you also have to have an

iron [music] will.

>> Yeah.

>> You don't want to work out every day.

>> Yeah.

>> There's going to be days you just want

to eat cake and sleep.

>> Yeah.

>> But [music] if you want to get past the

guy who eats cake and sleeps, you don't

eat cake and you don't sleep.

>> We are a collection of our choices.

That's what you are. Your habits create

who you are eventually.

And here's the kicker.

When you think that you

not doing the details and you think you

fooling the coach. Say, "Oh, coach, you

know I'm studying at night. I'm doing

what I'm supposed to do." HERE'S THE

PROBLEM.

HERE'S THE TRUE problem in life.

What we do in the dark [music] will come

to the light.

You will get exposed.

You will one day get exposed. You want

to get better?

You really want to get better?

It ain't on the coach. It ain't on the

position coach. It's the guys in the

group you compete against. You

They got nothing to do with the

opponent.

It's all on you. When you get up in the

morning you say, "You know what? I'll

compete against that guy tomorrow."

How you compete against you?

You want to be great? Do that.
