You see that man right there?

Do you remember him?

>> [music]

>> You got to block out everything and be

in the moment. Not the past, not the

future, right now.

If you feel tired, you feel exhausted,

you feel stressed, you don't feel like

it, you still do it. That's what a man

does, right? And so your feelings and

emotions do not matter.

The work that is required is the only

thing that matters.

And if you can accept that,

you will thrive in life.

And that's what I'm here to tell you.

The ultimate mindset says that I will do

the work when I'm tired. I will do the

work even if I'm sick. I will do the

work even if I didn't sleep well. I will

do the work even if I don't feel like

it. I will do the work if it's cold

outside. I will do the work if it's too

hot. I will do the work if no one else

wants to do it with me because I am

driven by purpose and duty while others

are driven by pleasures and desires. And

it is that fork in the road that

separates the winners from the losers in

life.

And there's no other way to say that.

I'm trying to tell you that being tired

is part of the thing.

Okay? So it's not a valid excuse. It's

normal. It's a constant. It's part of

being human. And if you want to be a

high achiever, guess what? You're going

to have to acclimate yourself to being

tired way more than you're not tired.

Successful people understand this, guys.

Successful people do not use tired as an

excuse. In fact, they understand that if

they push through the tired, everybody

else stops when they're tired. And so by

pushing through the tired, you actually

create a gap between you and everybody

else that you're competing with. And

here's another thing that happens when

you're tired. Because no one else ever

pushes through when they're tired and

because you're someone that always

pushes through when you're tired, you

learn this unique skill set that allows

you to operate at a high level when

you're tired. Okay? And that's a huge

competitive advantage over everybody

else.

>> [music]

>> And now you have to do the things that

discipline requires. And discipline

doesn't care if you're tired.

You're tired? Do it anyway,

>> [music]

>> right? Discipline says, "Oh, you don't

you don't you don't feel good? Well, do

it anyway."

Discipline says, "It's raining outside

and it's cold [music] and it's windy?

Do it anyway."

>> It becomes identity. The fact that it is

painful is the reason that it's working.

[music] That's why most people don't do

it.

>> Yeah.

>> Like this is what hard feels like and

this is why most people don't win.

>> Mhm.

>> So, continuing to push through and

almost seeing that level of discomfort

as a signal, it's like a way marker

that's been planted in the ground. Yes,

more this way.

>> Mhm.

>> Because if it was all just super easy,

well, how are you going to get anything

different to what everybody else has got

if you do the same thing that everybody

else does? And one of the best selectors

for people not doing a thing is

discomfort. So, the route that has a lot

of discomfort down it, usually on the

other side of that ends up with

something which is valuable.

>> I'd rather go too far

than not far enough. The only reward

that you get from taking it easy is the

fact that in the moment it's easier. But

if you want results

and then you basically just catch

yourself slacking off and don't do

anything about it,

then it kind of sounds like you don't

really want those results.

>> The fish don't just jump in the boat. If

you want to go catch them, go catch

them. You know, throw that line in the

water and go do some work. And if it

doesn't work that day, do it again the

next day. So, you want to be the one

that says, "Fuck it, I'm going to do it

anyway. I know I don't feel good today,

but

I'm going to go out there and I'm going

to prove to myself that even on days

that it doesn't feel right, I push

myself." The only way to gain confidence

in in yourself is to build something.

It's not to

wait for it to happen. You better go out

there and do it yourself. You know,

don't [ __ ] wait around and wait for

someone to to hand deliver something. Go

make it happen.

>> Most people don't want to be pushed that

hard. They want to be pushed to their

level of comfort. [music]

>> Yep.

>> And that once they're outside their

comfort zone, they're like, "Oh, I'm not

used to this. Oh, I don't like this. My

heart's beating too fast." Or, "Man, I'm

feeling a different feelings and

emotions." And it's like, that's where

you're That's where the growth lives.

>> No one can learn it for you. It's like

there's a lot of the things that that we

care about a lot like no one can work

out for you. It doesn't matter how much

money you have. No one can learn skills

for you.

>> [music]

>> And so in the early days, like it feels

so painful cuz you're like you look

around to see who can help you and then

you're like, "Fuck, it's me again."

>> Nobody cares, you know? At the end of

the day, nobody cares what we're going

through, how your body feels. Nobody

cares. We got to We got to do our job.

>> [music]

>> And uh we we emphasize that to each

other again today, you know? Hey, I got

your back, you got mine. Nobody cares,

man. We got to go.

>> Nobody.

Absolutely nobody

gives a [ __ ] about you as much as you're

going to have to give a [ __ ] about

yourself.

Nobody cares about you as much as they

need to care to fix your life. Even your

parents, even your friends, even all the

[music] people who think they care about

you, they care about you. Yeah, sure,

there may be two or three people on the

planet who genuinely care about you. But

nobody is going to [music] come to your

bed, drag you out of bed, drag you to a

job, force you to work hard, go and get

you a hot [ __ ] and go and buy you a

Ferrari. Nobody is going to do that for

you. You are never going to have any of

the things you want if you do not get

them yourself. Nobody cares about you

enough to do it for you. This is

absolutely true.

>> They don't care. They don't care, you

know? The effect that I have on the

universe is so freaking small. Nobody

cares. I'm the only one putting the

pressure on me. Nobody gives a damn

about it. So that's why they help me to

perform now. That's how I

Some of the younger guys say, "Yo, D,

I'm nervous. How do

I heard you don't sleep well the night

before." I say, "Yeah, it's true. I

don't sleep well." He say, "What is your

trick? How do you find a way to sleep

well?" He say, "Well, I don't really

sleep well either nowadays."

He say, "Well, how do But how do you

feel better about it?" He say, "I just

know that I'm not going to sleep well

and it's not going to affect the outcome

of the competition. is just a normal

thing. You learn how to deal with it

better.

>> [music]

>> You're not going to change it.

>> Yeah.

>> Just accept it.

>> Yeah.

>> The stress is your friend, man. That's

going to make you react. That's going to

be on the edge.

>> You got to embrace the storms.

You know what I mean?

>> Yeah.

>> The fears that we have, those moments of

suffering, they're all part of the

process. They're all part of growth.

It's nature, right? You got to be able

to handle those things, man. You don't

run

from those moments.

>> Yeah.

>> All right. You don't run from them. You

embrace them.

>> And the reason that you are not as great

as you could be

is because you can't take pain.

The reason that you are a aborted is

because you get frustrated and

disappointed with the slow pace of the

fulfillment of your desire, so you abort

the process and wonder why you're a bum

on life's highway.

>> If you don't feel good, the reason you

don't feel good is cuz you're not proud

of yourself. You're not proud of

yourself is cuz you're not doing what

you're supposed to do. You're not going

to fix that on a

therapy couch. You're going to fix it by

getting off the couch, doing what you're

supposed to do every single day,

producing results that you can see and

everyone else can see, and then you say,

"I'm a man."

>> And then tell me how

>> "I'm proud of that."

>> right.

>> Right? You don't need to go to therapy,

bro. The reason you feel like [ __ ] is

cuz you're not doing what the you're

supposed to be doing with your life.

That's the truth. And we have this whole

society of men that are intentionally

propagated to be weak and to be people

who are in touch with their feelings.

Dude, bro, you can be in touch with your

feelings. You can have feelings, but

they don't have to consume you.

>> For me,

>> Mhm.

>> I just beat me.

>> Yeah.

>> This ain't about nobody else.

I don't give a [ __ ] nobody else. I just

beat me.

If I can keep

beating myself, pause. If I can keep

doing that,

then that means that I'm in a battle

with the only person that makes sense.

>> [music]

>> I'm in a battle with the only person

that I really want to beat, and that's

me.

I don't I don't care about anybody else.

I have no worry or gripe about the next

man or woman's journey

or or or or their level of success.

That's not what I'm what I'm up against.

>> Yeah.

>> If I can continue to outdo me from the

day before, then I'm then I'm ahead.

>> I want to talk to you about lying to

yourself.

We all do it.

And a lot of us lie to ourselves because

without realizing it, we can't face the

truth. And it's easier to craft a story,

to craft a lie. You say, you know what?

I I'm happy with my job. You know, I

should be content. [music] I can pay the

bills and and you know, my kids don't

have to worry about eating. So, you

know, I I I like my job. [ __ ]

Sorry. I just had to say it. If if

that's not you, if you're don't you got

to realize that you could craft these

lies. Oh, my relationship. It's it's

good enough. I should be happy, you

know. You know, we we have No, don't lie

to yourself. If your relationship isn't

good, then focus on it and and and be

honest. It's horrible. I go home and I'm

sad. I go home, it's not working. I go

home and I want to run, but I just stay

there for the kids or I stay there

because of money or I stay No, you know,

if it's that bad, stop lying to

yourself. Let the pain sink in. Because

if the pain sinks in, you will do

something about it.
