00:00:29.120
down the pipe uh but today we're gonna keep it short i'm gonna keep it real simple and i'm gonna
00:00:33.540
talk about one of the things that um i feel holds people back almost more than anything to be
00:00:43.100
completely honest um and what i want to talk about here is is is fact okay it's not fiction it's not
00:00:50.100
up for debate and it's a real problem and it's this conditions for what you want to achieve
00:00:58.280
you wanted to you want to build a big life you want to build uh you know a big business you want
00:01:03.120
to become more physically fit you want to build better relationships that's why you listen to this
00:01:08.460
show that's why you're here you're here to learn how to be better and to be better you have to first
00:01:14.260
realize something that is paramount to long-term success in life and it's this conditions will never
00:01:22.100
be perfect ever okay and a lot of people me included for a long time sat around and waited for the stars
00:01:32.440
to align or the seed apart or for everything to be perfect for me to just go and if it wasn't perfect
00:01:40.160
i'd come up with a justification right i for example i'm using my fitness as an example for you guys
00:01:46.840
you know when i was 350 pounds and completely unhealthy not training not doing my workouts
00:01:53.740
i would uh you know tell myself i look outside and i'd see you know that it it wasn't you know 70
00:02:01.720
degrees and sunny and i would come up with this little story about how it's cold and i'll start
00:02:07.100
tomorrow or if it was raining you know uh dude you know what i'll just do some sit-ups and push-ups
00:02:12.340
knowing damn well that the sit-ups and push-ups isn't what the fuck i needed to do
00:02:16.160
i needed to get my fat ass out on the road and fucking move okay what i'm talking about here
00:02:21.760
is justifying our lack of action based upon the external circumstances and this is something that
00:02:29.900
every single one of you listening if you understand and if you accept and just say this is the way it is
00:02:37.580
your life will get exponentially easier for you to win all right so you have to understand that
00:02:44.640
when when you look outside or you look at whatever it is with your business or you look at whatever it
00:02:50.680
is with your relationship whatever these things are that you're trying to do there are going to be
00:02:56.520
wave after wave after wave after wave of inconvenient shit that hits you in the motherfucking face
00:03:04.020
all right that doesn't matter people who win win regardless of those waves it's not that they don't
00:03:12.720
have those waves it's that they say hey i can't control what the fuck is going on all i control is what
00:03:18.600
i decide in my mind and the actions i take some days are going to be harder than others some days are
00:03:25.020
going to be a little easier than others but i can promise you one fucking thing for sure there will
00:03:31.160
never ever ever be a day that goes exactly as you want it to go it doesn't exist so with that being said
00:03:41.340
if you're going to wait around for perfect circumstances how can you ever accomplish anything and that's
00:03:49.220
what i want you guys to think about i want you to think about all the times that you might be justifying
00:03:54.720
or talking yourself out of or coming up with a an easier alternative because the conditions aren't
00:04:01.660
what you want them to be you know maybe you don't want to do your work today because you had a fight
00:04:06.140
with your significant other maybe um you don't want to do your workouts because like i said the weather
00:04:12.440
sucks especially here in missouri dude yesterday was fucking snowing the day before that it was fucking
00:04:18.920
70 something degrees okay you think i wanted to go out in the snow and do that shit no but guess what
00:04:25.340
i did it because i understand that every time i do something that is inconvenient every time i do
00:04:33.320
something that is hard every time i do something that other people wouldn't do i'm building the strength
00:04:40.320
of my mental discipline to move forward regardless of the external circumstances in our lives and this is a
00:04:48.520
skill this is not a gift it is not something i was born with it's something that people learn how to do
00:04:54.160
over time and i can tell you right now every single motherfucker that you see doing whatever it is that
00:04:59.740
you want to do whether it be in business whether it be in sports whether it be in music whether it be in
00:05:04.600
fitness whether it be having a great relationship these people all of them will wake up and do the
00:05:12.360
work regardless of what's going on in their life period okay so how do we get to this point how do
00:05:20.520
we get to a point where we will move forward regardless of what's going on in life because
00:05:26.640
this is something most people won't do you know it too not only it's not just you it's most people
00:05:32.800
so if you can get you to do it how much of an advantage does that give you over the rest of people
00:05:37.500
a fucking huge one so what i would like you to consider is how can you improve this part of your
00:05:45.900
life well it's real simple guys and i learned this lesson from a guitar teacher i had 10 years ago
00:05:52.700
all right and he said to me he said hey andy um you don't have any fucking patience and i'm like well
00:05:59.240
no shit matthew i have fucking zero patience he's like you know how you get patience and i said how and
00:06:04.920
he says by doing things that require patience and that's what i want you to remember if you need
00:06:11.400
to understand and you need to develop how to operate regardless of what's going on in external
00:06:17.020
circumstances when things are inconvenient how do you get better at that well you get better at that
00:06:21.960
by doing things that are inconvenient intentionally okay looking for opportunities to move forward when
00:06:29.940
the circumstances are not ideal all right looking for opportunities to make things harder on yourself
00:06:36.840
looking for opportunities to develop the mental aspect of discipline and fortitude that are going
00:06:45.540
to move you forward guys this is a major major major key to winning long term in life all right i'm not
00:06:53.840
talking about motherfuckers that win once i'm not talking about that's not my people that's not you
00:06:58.300
okay i'm talking about making a life where you are a perpetual winner in any direction you decide to go
00:07:07.680
all right and this is a skill you're going to have to develop so number one realize hey do you have
00:07:15.720
this or do you not take inventory of how many times you're talking yourself out of everything take
00:07:21.880
inventory how many times you justify your lack of action based upon what's going on with your mood
00:07:27.440
or your world or your relationship or your job how many times are you talking yourself out of doing
00:07:33.280
what you know you need to do my guess is probably a lot more than you should be all right so guys
00:07:39.000
first realize that that you have to build a skill and secondly start looking to actively build that
00:07:44.960
now a lot of people you know all the fucking weak ass motherfuckers in the world will fucking
00:07:49.160
comment why would i work to make things harder on myself this is fucking stupid who the fuck is this
00:07:54.160
guy well this is a motherfucker that built a whole lot of shit from fucking nothing telling you how
00:07:58.240
to fucking win okay that's what it is and i'm telling you that if you want to develop the superhuman
00:08:04.280
skill of kicking ass every single time no matter what the fuck is going on in your life no matter
00:08:09.920
what's going on in your world no matter what's going on with the weather no matter what's going on
00:08:13.640
in our crazy ass society if you want to learn how to kick ass regardless of all those things you will
00:08:19.060
actively seek out opportunities to to to strengthen this muscle that is doing shit when it's not
00:08:29.680
convenient okay that's called discipline now discipline guys is the key to everything this is
00:08:36.520
why i talk about it so much if you could be in control of your decisions and your actions a hundred
00:08:43.160
percent of the time what could you not accomplish and how could you be held back and how could you
00:08:50.360
not get where you want to go because if we're being honest with ourselves the reason you're not where
00:08:55.980
you want to be can only be one of two things it could be one you're working the wrong plan and in that
00:09:01.800
case there's lots of people out there including me that will help you figure out how to get on the
00:09:05.800
right plan secondly if you are on the right plan it's that you're not doing it long enough you haven't
00:09:10.940
been doing it long enough okay and the reason that you probably haven't been doing it long enough
00:09:15.280
is because you fucking talk yourself out of it every time the shit inconvenient success and winning is
00:09:20.540
not convenient success and winning is not comfortable success and winning in fucking life is going to be
00:09:26.100
a daily fucking task for you okay but the the one thing that can make it exponentially easier is
00:09:34.040
understanding that the waves of inconvenience are going to crash on your fucking face regardless of
00:09:42.140
who you are regardless of what race you are regardless of where you come from regardless of what country
00:09:47.320
you're from it's just the nature of being a fucking human in society or any society shit just doesn't go
00:09:54.380
as planned all right so work on this be conscious of this and look for opportunities to strengthen your
00:10:01.220
mindset so that you can be one of the very very very very few people that actually moves forward
00:10:10.600
told my teacher dumb bitch i'm gonna get millions watch this in the project living down spoke it till
