the fakeness and delusions modern society welcome to motherfucking reality guys today
00:00:26.400
i'm just gonna hit you with a real talk okay um i know that right now everybody's planning their
00:00:32.700
2024 goals and um i had someone recently ask me uh how do they deal with the fear of failure
00:00:42.160
how do they get over the fear of failure well i want to talk a little bit about that uh and then
00:00:48.280
expand upon that here today for you guys while you're thinking because i know right now you know
00:00:52.820
everybody's thinking about what they're gonna do on monday january 1st it's coming up what are we
00:00:57.980
gonna do what are we going to accomplish you're at least thinking about it probably uh you know
00:01:02.020
making some plans writing them down if you're not you're behind the ball and you should be
00:01:05.340
but here's the thing okay i'm gonna address this first the fear of failure all right you have to
00:01:12.500
realize that when you are afraid to go when you are afraid to go and become and and do the thing
00:01:21.540
you are creating a life of automatic loss all right you cannot win you cannot become you cannot
00:01:29.180
build this dream that you have this life without actually going and a lot of people nowadays they
00:01:36.080
like to consume data they like to read books they like to listen to podcasts they like to hire coaches
00:01:42.440
they do all of the things except the thing that actually produces the result which is actual
00:01:48.080
execution all right you have to understand you can sit there and you can analyze and you can think
00:01:55.000
and you can consume and you can learn all day long but until you actually put pen to paper and start to
00:02:02.340
really build shit in your own life and execute none of that's going to matter in fact if you stand still
00:02:09.460
in this process of perpetual consumption of information you are actually guaranteeing a loss and this is a
00:02:17.460
huge problem in the personal development space okay we have this idea that more information and more
00:02:24.200
information and more information and more information is required for us to actually go do when in reality
00:02:30.660
the more information we consume we actually get paralyzed and when you paralyze yourself from taking
00:02:37.540
action you are creating a loss by default so it is much better to take imperfect action than to do nothing
00:02:45.700
perfectly all right you have to understand this and a lot of you guys will spend the rest of your life
00:02:52.720
thinking that the more you actually know the more concepts you understand that it actually equals more
00:02:59.440
success and this is proven to be wrong in the real world how many people do we look at in real life
00:03:06.720
that really don't know that much that have become successful knowledge does not equal success
00:03:13.260
execution is what equals success some of the wealthiest people i know are also some of the
00:03:20.680
dumbest okay i know a guy who's worth hundreds of millions of dollars that doesn't know the difference
00:03:26.380
between our o-u-r and r-a-r-e and this is a real story and if you listen to me for many years you know
00:03:34.100
this real because i've talked about this many times okay real winners real doers people who actually
00:03:40.980
achieve their dreams they don't have any special skills you don't have they don't have more knowledge
00:03:46.060
they don't have more talent they don't have more skills they just fucking do it all right and that's
00:03:51.820
what you need to understand you have enough information available to you right now with the
00:03:57.080
internet and the amount of people who have shared their stories and shared their tips and their tricks
00:04:02.800
you have enough information to create whatever it is you want you don't have to pay for anything you
00:04:08.020
don't have to sign up for anything you don't have to do anything you just have to go start doing it
00:04:12.700
okay so realize this if you are one of these people who is standing around who is waiting for the
00:04:20.080
perfect time who is ready waiting for you know you to have enough knowledge or for someone to come
00:04:26.820
along and tell you that you're qualified or welcome you into the club just understand you're creating
00:04:32.540
a life of misery for yourself and you're creating an automatic loss and the reason that you're going
00:04:37.560
to be miserable is because you have all these dreams you have all these goals you have all these
00:04:42.140
things you're trying to accomplish but you're unwilling to execute which creates a life of torture
00:04:47.680
okay you want to live a miserable frustrated torturous existence dream about how great things could be
00:04:55.760
and do nothing about it that's going to be very painful for you from here until the end of your
00:05:02.020
life and then at the end of your life you're going to regret your entire life because you're going to
00:05:06.780
say well shit i knew what to do but i just didn't do it okay this is the problem that most of you face
00:05:13.440
so the fear of failure is an automatic loss that's the first thing you have to understand now the second
00:05:21.780
thing that i want you to understand and this isn't going to take real long okay is that we're going in
00:05:29.740
to a year which is an election year there's going to be massive chaos there's going to be massive
00:05:35.780
division there's going to be massive frustration there's going to be a lots of hopelessness and lots of
00:05:42.300
fear okay and the biggest thing that causes the disorder and the frustration society is you
00:05:51.660
thinking that your life and your actions do not matter let me explain something to you if you are
00:05:58.580
in a position where you're looking around at the world and you're saying holy shit this is crazy
00:06:04.020
this needs to be better this and this and this these are so fucked up i can't stand how things are
00:06:09.820
why aren't things different if you want to know why things aren't different go look in the
00:06:15.280
motherfucking mirror and take a real good long hard look because the reality is is that we are society
00:06:23.700
and you are society and whatever standard it is that you're holding however you're living your life
00:06:29.800
is going to be reflected in concentric circles out to your family your neighbors your community your
00:06:37.020
city your state and your country this is the reality why do you think they make it seem like
00:06:43.640
you don't matter why do they censor your words why do they condemn your actions why do they cancel
00:06:50.320
people who stand up for things that we all know to be common sense truth why do they do that they
00:06:56.060
don't do that because it doesn't matter they do that because they know that that's all that fucking
00:07:01.280
matters okay we all have a responsibility especially now especially during this time to set the best
00:07:10.000
example that we possibly can for everyone around us we have a responsibility to build the best life
00:07:17.500
mentally the best life physically the best life spiritually and the best life financially so that
00:07:24.280
other people around us can see what that looks like and can understand that it just doesn't fall out
00:07:29.880
of the sky we actually have to go earn it we have that responsibility right now every single one of us
00:07:37.300
and that responsibility is not deferred to somebody with a big platform or some social media influencer
00:07:43.740
or somebody on tv it's your responsibility it's my responsibility and it's all of our responsibilities
00:07:51.440
and it's never been more important ever okay so for those of you who are frustrated with what's going
00:07:58.880
on in the world and those of you looking for culture to change you have to understand that you are culture
00:08:05.060
and how you live your life is going to dictate what actually creates in real life what we call
00:08:12.120
society the biggest problem we have right now with all of this shit going on in the world is that we
00:08:19.140
have millions upon millions upon millions upon millions of people that believe that their little
00:08:25.320
bitty life and their little bitty voice doesn't matter and it does it's all that matters so when you sit
00:08:32.860
there and you think about what you want to accomplish in 2024 and beyond you have to realize this isn't
00:08:39.620
just about you this is about you your kids your neighbors your family your community your city your
00:08:48.100
state and your country and it is a fucking duty that you go out and be the best version of yourself
00:08:54.520
so when you think about all these goals that you want to achieve and you think about all these things
00:08:59.700
that you want to become and then you think about how you're scared to execute realize they want you scared
00:09:04.940
to execute they want you to think that it's not possible they want you to think that it doesn't matter
00:09:10.860
and the reason they want you to think that it doesn't matter is because it's what matters most and if you
00:09:16.700
don't go out and become this thing there is no hope for the future there is no hope for the country there is no hope
00:09:23.460
for our society it comes back on our shoulders on our backs and when shit gets hard we have to put
00:09:30.060
the shit on our back and fucking carry it that's the reality of the situation we're in and here's the
00:09:36.320
thing you got to understand okay all these people who you look at who have built the things that you want
00:09:43.420
to build who have become the kinds of people that you want to become all of those people were afraid
00:09:48.660
too all of those people had doubts just like you all of those people had a little dialogue inside
00:09:54.820
their head said what if it doesn't work what if i do this and everybody laughs at me what if i do this
00:10:00.180
and everybody makes fun of me what if i do this and i fall on my face they all had that and guess what
00:10:05.300
happened they did fall on their face and everybody did laugh at them but every single time they fucking
00:10:10.120
fell they got back up and i know that sounds cliche but it's the truth nobody has built what it is you want
00:10:17.320
to build nobody has become what it is you're trying to become without pushing through the same things
00:10:22.140
that you're dealing with now they don't have more talent they don't have more skill they were just
00:10:27.500
willing to be laughed at and you aren't what makes you so special that you think that you're going to
00:10:33.700
be able to accomplish what they've accomplished without going through that process in fact that's
00:10:38.720
pretty fucking arrogant isn't it you think you're so special that you get to skip all the hard parts
00:10:44.860
and the universe is just going to line up for you and everything's going to be easy
00:10:48.560
you think that you get to skip all the parts where everybody laughs at you and everybody makes fun of
00:10:54.080
you and everybody says that you're stupid and crazy and never going to be able to do it
00:10:57.580
you think you're going to be able to skip why what makes you so special that you could skip that and
00:11:02.340
everybody else had to go through it that's what you don't understand the shit you want to become
00:11:07.840
the life you're trying to build that's the price you're going to pay and everybody's paid it
00:11:13.160
fucking everybody everybody you look up to has paid that price what makes you think you're not
00:11:18.940
going to have to pay it you're going to have to pay it guys it's required so as you type out these
00:11:27.280
goals or write these goals down or think about these things that you want to become don't just think
00:11:32.840
of it in some flippant way it fucking matters and it matters way more than just having some nice
00:11:40.520
shit or living a comfortable life because every single person around you is going to take
00:11:46.540
the cues they see from you and apply at least some of them to their own life and if they're positive
00:11:52.600
and if you're listening to this i'm pretty sure they are it's going to make a big impact on their
00:11:57.780
life even if they only take a percentage of it okay some of those people are going to take it real
00:12:03.260
serious some of those people are going to change their entire existence because of the example that you
00:12:08.980
set and if we want to fix things and we want things to be better we have to understand that is us as
00:12:16.180
individuals who are going to make it so so as you sit there and you plan out your 2024 and you think
00:12:23.640
about what it is you're trying to build think about why you're trying to build it it's not just so you
00:12:29.360
can have a fat bank account it's not just so you can drive a nice car it's not just so you can live in a
00:12:35.200
nicer house those things are great and i hope you get them all but there's a bigger picture at play
00:12:39.880
there's a bigger obligation at play we have a duty to set the example for what is possible for the
00:12:47.960
people that are coming behind us and we have an obligation to live to a certain standard for the
00:12:53.540
people who have sacrificed before us our lives honor those sacrifices and whatever it is you want to do
00:13:00.880
whatever it is you want to become you have a fucking duty to do everything within your power
00:13:06.540
to become it so when you sit there and you write all this stuff out and you think about what it is
00:13:11.400
you're going to do remember it's not just about you it matters more than you could ever comprehend
00:13:17.640
we have an obligation here we have an obligation to be the very best individuals that we can be
00:13:25.360
and if we all step up and we all become those versions of ourselves there is nothing anybody
00:13:31.720
can do to stop the ripple effect of success of positivity of growth of collective goodness
00:13:40.520
that we can create together and if you're looking to figure this game out a little bit quicker if
00:13:46.280
you're looking to become the absolute best version of yourself i highly recommend you take a look at my
00:13:53.400
