00:00:21.280
the fakeness and delusions of modern society welcome to motherfucking reality guys today we
00:00:27.440
have a real talk and i'm gonna get right into it okay i know it's saturday we give you these special
00:00:33.480
episodes on saturday i like doing them you like listening to them keep it short and sweet and give
00:00:37.760
you some practical tips uh on how to be successful all right i get a lot of questions from you guys
00:00:44.600
you know especially on q and af and i'm going to answer three basic points that seem to be a
00:00:50.040
commonality amongst a lot of the questions that we get so that we can stop getting these exact
00:00:54.740
questions and get on with some better questions okay the first thing you've got to realize when
00:01:00.880
you set out on the journey to become better is this nobody owes you anything they don't owe you
00:01:09.440
any encouragement they don't owe you any support they don't owe you any claps any cheers and they
00:01:15.700
certainly are not going to motivate you and hold your hand through the journey of success if you
00:01:23.040
think that other people are going to come along and pull you through and give you breaks and give
00:01:30.260
you opportunities you are not understanding how this works this is a journey that you take alone and
00:01:38.680
when you take the journey alone and you push through and you become somebody who has discipline who has
00:01:46.340
grit who has mental toughness who has the ability to endure who has the ability to walk on the unbeaten
00:01:55.620
path eventually other people will join you so for the first what seems like an eternity you are going to
00:02:05.980
be going alone and nobody is going to come along and pull you through and this is a common mistake
00:02:12.540
that we see with all sorts of people that are trying to change their lives they look around they have
00:02:19.720
these good intentions they have these you know plans these dreams these goals and they look around and
00:02:26.280
they're like why is no one helping me why is no one supporting me this isn't fair well guess what it's
00:02:32.840
not fair all right you may have started in a more difficult spot you may have hardships that other
00:02:40.680
people don't face but there is a reality that there are millions of people that have come from places
00:02:47.120
harder than you have come from who have achieved what it is you're trying to achieve and more and every
00:02:53.860
single one of those people went down the path without anybody pulling them along so get this out of your mind
00:03:02.060
understand understand nobody is coming to save you nobody is coming to pull you through all the
00:03:10.800
product all the result all the success that you're going to create from all of these seeds you're planting
00:03:17.620
today that work those seeds that are planted have to be planted while nobody is looking while nobody is
00:03:26.020
watching while nobody is clapping and eventually they produce a harvest where you get to show the world
00:03:34.400
what you've created and by that time people will have joined you and you will not be alone you know if you have
00:03:41.660
to have someone hold your hand if you have to have someone push you down the path if you have to have
00:03:46.940
someone drag you down bro you are going to be mediocre at best for your entire life and that's generous you're
00:03:56.060
probably not even going to be mediocre you're probably not going to get off the ground so understand the only way for
00:04:02.320
you to do this is to build yourself into someone who's capable of going down the path on your own it's on you you got to
00:04:10.560
carry it on your back and that's the way it is so that's point number one point number two okay nobody's
00:04:17.780
going to understand what it is you're trying to do but you all right whenever you start down this path
00:04:25.040
you are going to be called crazy you're going to be called unrealistic you're going to be questioned
00:04:30.680
you're going to be having your friends put doubt in your mind you're going to have people say like
00:04:36.300
well are you sure about that these people don't get it they do not understand what it takes they do
00:04:43.340
not understand what you are trying to do they do not understand why you are trying to do it and for that
00:04:49.360
reason you have to ignore them you have to learn to turn the volume down on what it is they're doing
00:04:56.800
and the best way to turn the volume down on these people is by limiting your access to them and then also
00:05:05.000
continuing to execute the more energy you put into execution the more time you put into what it is
00:05:11.640
you're doing moving yourself forward the less and less and less you can hear them because you're creating
00:05:17.500
more and more distance between you and them just like in a physical reality if someone is standing in
00:05:24.960
front of your face and they're telling you hey man i don't know you need to remember where you came from
00:05:29.920
you know you're just a broke little fat kid from south county saint louis missouri i don't know if
00:05:35.120
you're going to be able to do that okay and then you go stand a hundred yards away from them and they
00:05:40.540
say the same thing can you hear what they're saying now what if you stand a mile away from them what if
00:05:45.680
you stand 10 miles away it doesn't matter if they fucking scream it you're not going to hear it
00:05:51.280
so the best way to silence this noise the best way to to make the volume on this go down is for
00:05:58.320
you to execute and to put distance between those people and where you are and eventually when you've
00:06:04.520
gone on and you've created everything that you want to create you will not be able to hear these
00:06:09.640
people laugh because they'll be in the same spot where you started and you will be a hundred miles down
00:06:16.000
the road okay so that's point number two they're not going to get it no matter how hard you try to
00:06:22.420
explain it no matter how much effort you do into trying to convince people they are not going to get
00:06:28.480
it so you should take all that effort that you put into trying to convince people and you need to put
00:06:33.600
that into execution so that you can create the proper distance so you do not hear the naysayers you do
00:06:40.560
not hear the hate you do not hear the laughter you do not hear the doubt and you can focus on becoming
00:06:46.920
exactly who you want to become and that's how you become it stop wasting your energy trying to convince
00:06:53.900
people stop wasting your energy trying to make people understand they're not going to get it until
00:06:59.520
the entire world gets it and by the way if they do think you're crazy and they do think you're unrealistic
00:07:07.100
and they do think you're nuts that's a great thing because that means that you're thinking far bigger
00:07:13.460
than any of the people around you and that is always a good thing if you follow it up with action
00:07:18.520
so when they say these things in the beginning and you actually can hear them use them to your
00:07:25.300
advantage use them as a reinforcement of the fact that you are on the right path and i know it doesn't
00:07:31.420
feel that way all the time but i promise you that's what it means point number three
00:07:36.560
every single time i tried to cut corners every single time i tried to take the easy path every
00:07:44.700
single time i opted off of the hard path i lost every single time and every single one of those
00:07:53.200
times i wasted valuable time that had i just accepted the reality of the hard path i would have spent that
00:08:00.200
time moving down that path which would have gotten me exponentially further than wasting my time
00:08:06.020
looking for the shortcut losers look for the shortcut their entire lives that's why they never get
00:08:11.720
anywhere it's the hard path that builds you it's the hard path that creates you it's the hard path
00:08:19.080
that myself and every other motherfucker that you ever looked at and thought damn dude i want what
00:08:25.220
they have i want that for me that's the path they went on so what makes you think you're going to work
00:08:31.520
your way around this path what makes you think there's another way the test is the path the skills
00:08:38.460
are gained on the hard path everything that you want is at the end of the path that no one else will
00:08:45.540
take this is the reality and if you spend your life looking for the easy way the quick way the faster way
00:08:54.200
you're going to waste so much time that could have been dedicated on the main path that you're actually
00:09:00.220
not going to accomplish much of anything okay so think about this from a logical standpoint you're
00:09:06.140
still putting in the same effort you're still putting in the work but you're putting in the
00:09:11.380
effort and the work on these paths that do not equate to the result you're looking for because
00:09:17.880
fundamentally they are built to get around all the hard shit and when you try to get around all the hard
00:09:25.120
shit you cannot build the skills you need to get where you want to go because all the skills that
00:09:31.260
you need are built by overcoming the tests that occur while you were on the hard path so even if you
00:09:39.200
were to get where you want to go with a shortcut with the easier path you wouldn't have the skill set
00:09:46.780
to maintain that or continue past that point okay so you have to understand this is a practical reality
00:09:54.680
you cannot be successful looking for the shortcut you can only be successful by looking where you want
00:10:02.360
to go and saying the quickest way is this path there is obstacles here but these obstacles are going to
00:10:10.340
create the tools the skills the ideas the the abilities that i need to not only maintain the
00:10:18.120
success that i'm about to create but also move past that point because here's the cool thing about
00:10:24.880
success and entrepreneurship and business it is the only game that you can play that the older you get
00:10:31.840
the better you get at it all right i am 1000 times the operator i was even 10 years ago because i
00:10:39.560
continued down the path and now i'm in a position with all these extra skills and resources that are
00:10:46.420
going to allow me to go even further now had i found a way to jump from 34 to 44 without all of those
00:10:54.200
tests i wouldn't have that skill set and now i'd be sitting here not knowing what to do and the other
00:11:00.160
people that are on quote unquote my level of success would have a drastic competitive advantage over me
00:11:07.900
because they went down the path that taught them those skills all right so there's a practical reality
00:11:13.820
to this every time you go the easy path every time you go the shorter path you will fucking lose this is why
00:11:23.500
it's important to build yourself into someone who's able to overcome instead of looking for the path of
00:11:30.380
least resistance build yourself into a fucking weapon that can move down the hard path effectively
00:11:37.260
regardless of what comes your way and you'll become the kind of person that can achieve anything
00:11:42.780
if you spend your life looking for the shortcut and you don't build yourself into a person with
00:11:47.900
discipline mental toughness grit fortitude self-esteem self-belief the ability to endure if you do not do that
00:11:54.860
you cannot gain the skills that you need to ultimately succeed okay so this is very practical and by the way
00:12:02.540
here's the coolest thing about this okay if you try to go the easy path no one's going to give a
00:12:09.180
shit what you did you're not going to have any stories you're not going to have any lessons you're not going to
00:12:12.680
have anything to contribute other than potentially somewhat mediocre result okay and that's highly unlikely all right
00:12:20.900
but if you take the hard path and you go 20 years down the hard path now you have all these amazing stories you have
00:12:27.700
all these amazing lessons you have all these things to contribute to the people around you and that's the
00:12:33.060
most valuable thing in someone's life the most valuable thing that you can give someone is your
00:12:38.340
knowledge the most fulfilling thing that i personally can do for someone is what i try to do for you guys
00:12:44.620
which is pour into you from my personal experience so that maybe you can avoid some of the hardships that i felt
00:12:52.860
and learn some of the lessons a little more quickly but regardless of how much i teach you
00:12:57.760
regardless of how much i share with you you are still going to have to go down the path for yourself
00:13:03.260
this is the reality and if you do you will have an incredible life story that people will talk about
00:13:10.260
and they will admire and they will be inspired by and dude let me tell you something after you get all
00:13:15.760
the money and you get all the shit and you get the house and the cars and all this shit there's going to be
00:13:20.420
other things that you want those things don't mean the same thing once you have them and the thing
00:13:25.100
that's going to mean the most for you is what you did with your life what is your story what can you
00:13:31.020
share how can you contribute how can you help people be better and that will never happen with you
00:13:38.980
