00:00:29.680
could save your entire life a lot of people who don't understand the concept of what i'm going to
00:00:35.940
talk about right now they are going to ruin their entire lives so pay attention and think about what
00:00:41.960
i'm talking about the purpose of this episode man it really comes to me from my heart this is
00:00:47.140
something i believe in it's something i'm passionate about it's something i talk about often and it's
00:00:52.640
something that's important for you guys to understand when we look around at every single
00:00:58.360
person just about every single one that we see online every single post notice how much false
00:01:05.100
victimhood is going on false ideas going on like people are some sort of victims of society of
00:01:11.480
oppression of biases and the truth is the only thing these people are victims of is their own weak-ass
00:01:18.440
thoughts and unwillingness to do the work that's the truth but why isn't it being told everywhere we
00:01:25.740
look right now we see everybody talking about kindness the problem is most of these people
00:01:31.340
don't even understand what true kindness is they think kindness equals being nice and not challenging
00:01:38.080
people and being polite and fluffy and dude there's a time to be nice and there's a time to be fluffy
00:01:44.120
and there's a time to be courteous but when you're talking about helping people and you're talking about
00:01:49.740
improving and you're talking about having a better life that is not kindness okay all successful people
00:01:57.400
in the history of the fucking earth know that that is not the definition of kindness kindness is telling
00:02:05.540
people the truth when people are told the truth they have the ability to change their actions when you
00:02:12.540
get to change your actions you have the ability to produce a different and better result instead of that
00:02:19.480
kind of kindness we have so many people out there in society talking about how bad they have it and
00:02:26.100
all these so-called spiritual gurus are just reinforcing this notion of victimhood you look around dude look at
00:02:33.260
what they say the gurus are all saying the same shit however you act whatever you do no matter what's
00:02:39.320
screwed up about you no matter what's going on in your life and no matter how much money you make
00:02:43.820
you should feel amazing about yourself you should be happy with who you are is that really kindness
00:02:52.280
really i don't think so it's not telling people the truth it's telling people to embrace mediocrity
00:03:01.080
and that isn't kind no matter how much fluff you want to put around it the moment it feels good for you to
00:03:08.400
accept mediocrity is the moment you have zero chance of improving as a person if you decide
00:03:15.980
that mediocrity is how you're going to accept yourself i can promise you most of your life
00:03:22.880
is going to always look half-ass okay if you accept mediocrity you are never going to challenge yourself
00:03:30.700
to try anything outside of your comfort zone that means you actually will never grow as well
00:03:37.860
accomplishing hard things is how we feel great about ourselves so if you tell people things that
00:03:45.200
keep them from discovering the path to being better guess what that's not kindness successful people
00:03:52.840
guys understand this as truth they live by this law they understand it's not kind to unconditionally
00:04:02.160
accept our own mediocrity they also understand how dangerous it is the reason it's dangerous is this
00:04:09.440
if you buy into this mentality of false victimhood and you start to think you can solve your problems
00:04:15.380
with affirmations and quote-unquote acceptance and all these other things that we see everywhere we look
00:04:21.920
right now nothing is ever going to change ever yeah man i wish it were different i really do wish it
00:04:30.900
were different i wish it were easy to change and improve but guess what it's fucking not all right
00:04:37.320
and what's scary is that too many people out there are telling you otherwise everywhere you look you have
00:04:43.520
people telling you to accept yourself and everything in your life the way it is they're saying you're worth
00:04:49.780
it and you are enough and they are basically reinforcing everybody staying exactly where they are and
00:04:56.120
these people are not doing the hard work to improve and that hard work is what leads to happiness
00:05:01.760
so like i said this is not kindness dude when i was 350 fucking pounds if i looked in the mirror and
00:05:11.280
said to myself andy you look good you should feel great about yourself that's a lie because the truth
00:05:18.900
is i ate like shit for years before that and i fell off all the good habits but if i looked at myself
00:05:26.120
what i did and i said hey bro i love you but man you look like shit and you've been off your game
00:05:32.580
and it's time to get your shit together that's telling myself the truth that's being kind to myself
00:05:39.260
that's the kind of message that is going to help me improve and change it's the kind of message that's
00:05:45.760
going to help everyone change and be happy including you but we don't have that right now anywhere that i
00:05:53.780
can see why aren't we out there encouraging people to be kind to themselves by giving themselves the
00:06:00.600
unbiased truth about the situation how hard is it to look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself
00:06:07.220
the fucking truth yeah dude sometimes it's really really hard sometimes it does make you feel really
00:06:15.520
bad but wouldn't you rather feel like shit for five minutes and then craft a plan to actually fix
00:06:21.760
the problem wouldn't that feel better than telling yourself a bunch of feel-good nonsense up front
00:06:27.300
and then still having the same problems you have right now a year from now when you look at your
00:06:33.660
body the reason you don't like your body is because you haven't earned the right to feel good about your
00:06:38.120
body when you look at your bank account and it's less than what you think it should be the reason it's
00:06:43.800
less than what you think it should be isn't because someone's screwing you it's because you haven't done
00:06:49.740
the work required to have a different fucking number there it's that simple you know that's the truth
00:06:56.800
the reason your life isn't where you want it to be mentally physically spiritually and financially is
00:07:02.460
because you're not buying into the concept of having to earn things and let me tell you something
00:07:08.620
earning happiness is a requirement as well a lot of you are probably sitting there right now and you're
00:07:14.720
rolling your eyes you're saying oh you know what i just want to be happy and you think that's enough
00:07:19.860
but the truth is guys and this is the secret happiness is earned just like earning the right
00:07:27.300
to feel good about your body just like earning everything else in your life the reason you don't
00:07:32.700
have happiness is because you haven't been disciplined in the rest of your life you haven't paid the price
00:07:38.860
to look yourself in the mirror and say hey man i'm fucking proud of you when you don't pay that price
00:07:44.880
you don't get the prize of happiness this is very simple a lot of people will say that everybody
00:07:50.660
deserves to be happy you know what i don't buy into that shit if you're sitting on the couch and you're
00:07:56.000
living a life less than what it could be you do not deserve to be happy that is not how the world works
00:08:02.360
you were put here to go on a journey and that journey is the fulfillment of your own true potential
00:08:09.000
and when you don't even attempt to fulfill that potential you're not going to be happy ever if you
00:08:16.520
are aware of the purpose of this journey if you are listening to this right now if you have any ambition
00:08:22.620
whatsoever to be better and you don't pursue that ambition you are going to be unhappy yes there's lots
00:08:31.360
of people who could be happy not pursuing that journey i mean look around dude do we know people
00:08:37.700
who are happy with much less and that we would say live a more average life so to speak yeah people
00:08:44.620
who might not be in perfect shape happy people who might not be making a ton of money happy people who
00:08:51.280
might not have the best family situation happy yes those people seem to be happy but there's more to it
00:08:58.940
that you have to understand okay understand that the reason that those people can feel that way
00:09:06.080
isn't because of the way they're living it's because they aren't aware of what their life could be
00:09:11.700
and guess what by default because you're listening to this show you probably are or you wouldn't be
00:09:19.320
listening you'd be out there listening to the kardashians okay so instead of whining and pouting and
00:09:26.660
crying and bitching about everything you don't like instead of complaining about how things should
00:09:32.080
be i think it would serve you guys better to actually invest in yourself to actually put in the work
00:09:40.040
to actually stop and say what is the truth about myself the truth is i haven't been doing what i need
00:09:47.960
to do the truth is i could do a better job the truth is it's not everybody else's fault when you start
00:09:56.140
to tell yourself the truth about these things you end up in a scenario where you're in control
00:10:01.220
so that feeling you know that we all have on the inside of being out of control that goes away when
00:10:08.240
you start to accept responsibility for your own actions instead of writing another fucking quote
00:10:13.240
unquote vulnerable post that's completely self-driven that is being truly kind to yourself that is when things
00:10:21.180
will begin to change and that is when you're going to start to earn the right to be happy
00:10:26.700
you want another example of mediocrity being shoved down everybody's throats look around at the political
00:10:32.260
as right now and everybody criticizing these people for being wealthy which that's fine if you don't like
00:10:37.980
the fact they're wealthy that's okay but when did becoming financially successful in life and becoming
00:10:43.720
that kind of a person a person with means become a bad thing why are we criticizing people for doing things
00:10:50.660
that we weren't willing to do and that they got paid for now i get it dude politics maybe it's a bad
00:10:57.660
example the truth is i think they're all shit bags anyway but when you vilify success don't expect the
00:11:05.040
universe to deliver it to you you're going to end up with nothing because that's not the way the universe works
00:11:10.520
so before you buy into this idea of the whole entire world and the universe needing to change
00:11:16.680
for you let me save you your entire fucking lifetime and remind you that it's not going to happen what
00:11:23.040
is going to happen is you're going to spend your entire life talking about loving yourself and being
00:11:29.020
kind and accepting yourself and none of it's going to be true then your time on earth is going to end and
00:11:35.620
you're gonna feel like shit that's something you should probably think about and honestly you should
00:11:41.220
probably be worried about while you're sitting there worrying about this a lot of us we're going
00:11:47.120
to continue to work to be better we're going to put in the work on our bodies we're going to put in
00:11:53.100
the work on our finances in our business we're going to put in the work to become better families we're
00:11:59.660
going to put in the work to understand the universe and god better we're going to put in the work to be
00:12:07.180
better fucking people and guess what's going to happen because of that all of those things this is a
00:12:14.280
universal truth of the world that has gotten lost in society when you put in the input you get the output
00:12:21.960
okay if you've been putting in the inputs and you haven't got the result yet the only things that could
00:12:28.820
be wrong is that you're putting in the wrong input or you haven't been doing it long enough that's it
00:12:36.820
so while the whole world decides to sell mediocrity and jam it down our throats I think it would be
00:12:43.380
wise for all of us to stop and say what do I really want do I want to live a life of false victimhood
00:12:51.160
complaining all the time pouting all the time whining all the time and never changing ever I don't think
00:12:58.560
anybody wants that guys listen the bottom line here is this kindness is unbiased truth get that
00:13:07.100
through your fucking heads someone who tells you the truth about a situation is a million times more
00:13:14.860
valuable than the person who pacifies your inner desires that don't jive with the reality of how life
00:13:21.640
works so you have to make a decision fake kindness lies pacifying mediocrity or real kindness truth
00:13:33.360
that eventually result in happiness when you combine them with action these are your only two options and
00:13:41.700
guys let me tell you I would choose wisely because whether you agree right now or you don't there is
00:13:47.820
going to come a time in your life when you realize that this is the truth and I hope that time comes
00:13:56.040
before it's too late told my teacher dumb bitch I'm gonna get millions watch this in the project
00:14:01.460
living down spoke it till existence while I'm from where you can't trust so welcome
