You are all special little rainbows in your own way, like a snowflake. Every time you look in the mirror, I want you to look at yourself and say, "I am great. I am a winner." Because the truth is, you are not. Every single one of you is meant to be battle tested. We were meant to go out and face adversity. We are meant to grow over the course of getting our asses beat day in and day out. And that adversity is what defines you.

00:02:08.880 nobody remembers who you are? 0.94
00:02:10.800 Do what everybody else is doing.
00:02:12.980 Take the path of least resistance.
00:02:15.500 Take the path of no criticism.
00:02:17.500 Take the path of thinking that somebody owes you something. 1.00
00:02:20.380 Take the path of thinking that you're a delicate little rainbow pussy 1.00
00:02:24.140 that can't deal with anything other than going through the daily life. 1.00
00:02:28.600 I see this every day. 1.00
00:02:29.780 People who work 40 fucking hours. 0.99
00:02:31.720 Dude, I work 40 hours between Monday and fucking Wednesday crying about, 0.99
00:02:36.580 oh my God, my life is so hard. 0.99
00:02:38.980 I'm so depressed.
00:02:40.360 Oh, dude, that's all we hear about today.
00:02:43.860 I look on Facebook and I'm disgusted at the lack of mental toughness that the average person has.
00:02:49.720 We talk about living your passion.
00:02:52.680 We talk about finding something you love.
00:02:55.040 We talk about finding something that you're passionate about
00:02:57.520 because that passion will carry you through the times when you're not making any money.
00:03:02.700 But yet, people use that as an excuse to not do anything
00:03:08.000 because they say, oh, you know, I used to be passionate about this,
00:03:13.140 but when I got three or four and five years into it,
00:03:15.980 I hate this about it.
00:03:16.980 I hate this about it.
00:03:17.860 I hate this about it.
00:03:18.640 You guys need to realize that no matter what path you take,
00:03:22.540 no matter what route you take,
00:03:24.380 no matter what direction you take in life,
00:03:27.340 there are going to be days where you do not feel like doing anything.
00:03:32.380 You don't feel like going to work.
00:03:34.160 You don't feel like doing your job.
00:03:36.040 You don't feel like taking care of your kids.
00:03:38.120 You don't feel like being a good husband, being a good wife.
00:03:41.420 Those days are going to be there no matter what path you take, okay?
00:03:46.860 And I'm sick and tired.
00:03:48.340 I just read a couple emails about, Andy, you always talk about living your passion, 0.97
00:03:52.620 but, you know, I tried that and it sucks. 0.86
00:03:55.900 Well, you know what? 0.99
00:03:56.880 I live my fucking passion every day. 0.99
00:03:59.380 And you know what? 0.99
00:04:00.120 There's still days I don't feel like doing it.
00:04:02.300 And that's the point that you guys need to understand.
00:04:04.880 All right?
00:04:05.920 We can sit here and talk about how special we are, how tired we are, how deserving we are to win.
00:04:11.220 But the reality is we're not, okay?
00:04:14.200 And no matter what path you take, you are going to have obstacles.
00:04:17.640 And it's going to be your ability to move past, over, or through those obstacles on a daily basis that are going to define your success from your failure.
00:04:28.060 They're going to find the difference that you make in your life, the amount of ground you cover from, you know, your peers at this time that will be in the same place, doing the same shit, making the same money, making the same impact, which is zero, by the way.
00:04:43.440 50 years from now, okay? 0.99
00:04:46.240 So don't come at me with the idea of, oh, living your passion is all roses and rainbows and fucking unicorns. 0.99
00:04:52.780 It's not. 0.77
00:04:53.920 Living your passion is making a decision to go through something that you have interest in, that you could become an expert in, and that you could remain enthusiastic about, on average, over the course of time, all right?
00:05:09.060 That will push you through the times when you're financially not making it, all right?
00:05:14.980 So I want you guys to understand this because I get this question so many times, and I've gotten it so many times now where you could tell it's starting to piss me off, all right?
00:05:24.740 Living your passion is a great idea, okay?
00:05:27.680 It's a great thought.
00:05:28.800 It's a great idea.
00:05:29.580 And people confuse that with the idea that it's going to be easy or that it's going to be fun or that it's going to be the least amount of effort.
00:05:38.900 You know, oh, I live my passion.
00:05:40.180 It's going to be easy because I love this.
00:05:42.200 No. 0.99
00:05:42.800 There's going to be days where you go to work and you want to strangle every motherfucker that comes in your course of the path that you walk. 0.98
00:05:50.400 But it's getting through those days and staying dedicated to that decision that you've made that's what's going to define your success or your failure, you know, along the way. 0.97
00:06:02.960 So, yes, find something you're passionate about because when you're passionate about something, learning about it becomes easier.
00:06:10.700 When learning about it becomes easier, being an expert becomes easier.
00:06:14.060 When you're an expert at something, you have something of value, okay?
00:06:17.340 And if you're passionate about it, you probably enjoy it most of the time, which is going to carry you through the times when you're not making any money, when you're unsuccessful.
00:06:26.540 And it should carry you through the times when you're frustrated. 0.99
00:06:29.380 But if it doesn't, pack up your big boy balls, put them in your fucking pocket, and do the shit anyway because the reality is I have days I hate, you have days you hate, and everybody else in this fucking earth has days they hate. 1.00
00:06:42.380 And it's the people who push through those days anyway that end up making it or not. 1.00
00:06:47.340 Period.
