If you want to make your dream become reality, the people that are running after their dream know they're going to have hard times.
00:00:06.840
They keep on running because they're saying within themselves, I'm the one, I'm the one.
00:00:12.080
No matter how bad it is or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it.
00:00:20.720
What is up, guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project.
00:00:24.060
I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:27.840
Guys, today is Sunday Sermon. It's going to be short, it's going to be sweet,
00:00:32.900
but I wanted to give you something to really, truly think about over the next 12 months at least
00:00:41.600
and hopefully make it a habit for you for the next, you know, however long you've got left on this planet
00:00:49.720
You know, when I grew up, when I was a kid and I was a teenager
00:00:56.240
and even into my entire 20s, social media wasn't really a thing at all.
00:01:04.280
The internet kind of came around when I was about, I don't know, I guess 20, I don't know.
00:01:13.760
When I was around 20, I guess the internet came around and people used MySpace and Facebook and this and that.
00:01:20.220
But now we have an entire generation of adults who have grown up with the internet.
00:01:27.180
And I want to really sort of educate you slash warn you slash get you thinking the right way
00:01:37.300
about some of the ways that you handle yourself online and in real life, okay?
00:01:47.040
You know, a lot of you guys, and I see this shit, man, because you tag me in it.
00:01:51.340
So, you know, when you tag me in a post on Instagram, I go read it and I see it.
00:01:54.800
Now, a lot of you guys talk about people hating on you and this and that.
00:01:59.680
But I want you to ask yourself, how many times have you gone on to someone else's post
00:02:07.240
or their page or their, whatever their opinion is, and have you criticized them
00:02:13.500
or talked shit about them or quote unquote hated on them?
00:02:19.960
Because I can tell you how many times I've done that and it's zero.
00:02:23.520
And I believe that's why I give very little of it back because I don't give it out, all right?
00:02:29.360
But this goes far deeper than just on the internet.
00:02:34.440
This really goes into checking ourselves when it comes to our feelings of jealousy,
00:02:43.360
when it comes to our feelings of where we are versus other people.
00:02:47.500
Now, a lot of the experts, and I'm using the term experts very loosely, will tell you,
00:02:53.420
don't worry about other people, only worry about yourself.
00:03:01.540
Because I have been the guy who's been so concerned, and I'm talking in business,
00:03:06.700
so concerned with what my competitors were doing
00:03:09.340
that I was spending an exorbitant amount of energy over there
00:03:12.860
and not the right amount of energy in my own business,
00:03:15.400
which is what created a situation where we didn't grow, all right?
00:03:25.760
And the people who harp on that shit and who want to feel good and do good
00:03:29.200
and post all these feel-good memes and all this shit,
00:03:32.560
dude, I've looked at them, and you know who the fuck I'm talking about.
00:03:35.780
Dude, it's the guys who are overly positive and kumbaya, hold hand, motherfuckers.
00:03:49.160
And they've made a living off of preaching this fucking idealistic bullshit.
00:03:59.380
You're in competition with your left, the person on your left,
00:04:03.800
Every single person you're in competition with.
00:04:12.960
But the truth of it is, is other people are trying to take your shit.
00:04:16.040
There's people right now targeting you, wanting to take from you,
00:04:20.260
wanting to hurt you, wanting to do bad, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:04:24.340
And that's ever more the reason why you need to focus on yourself and your skills.
00:04:34.560
So, there is some truth to that, that your only competition is yourself.
00:04:38.900
But it's taken out of context so much that I need to remind you guys that you are competitive
00:04:47.520
There's other people, there's other businesses trying to take your shit.
00:04:52.520
There's other businesses that are just waiting for you to trip up so they can take whatever
00:04:59.680
But the reality is, is the way you defeat that is by getting better yourself, all right?
00:05:04.920
So, a long time ago, maybe 2006, 7, I made it a 1,000% policy of mine to not talk shit on
00:05:23.740
I, if I say something negative or that's perceived to be negative about someone, it's because it's
00:05:33.240
Now, this is why this is important and this is what I'm getting at.
00:05:43.140
All of us look at other people and don't like them naturally sometimes, especially when they're
00:05:47.520
competing with us, but how you handle it matters a great deal to what your outcome is going
00:06:05.380
I know for a fact that there is such a thing as the law of attraction slash the universe slash
00:06:13.540
God, whatever you call it, there is a higher power involved here that gives us exactly
00:06:24.340
And I've honed this ability over the last 12 years or so, 13 years, to where I'm very good
00:06:31.940
at it and my attractors muscles are very strong.
00:06:35.680
But when you're in the beginning of the very weak, it's just like going to the gym for the
00:06:38.840
Your ability to manifest shit and create shit and think about shit and focus on the
00:06:45.760
And this is something I want to point out to you guys that I've lived, all right?
00:06:50.760
The first six, seven years I was in business, I hated my competitors.
00:07:00.920
I didn't hate them because they were doing things wrong.
00:07:13.620
I hated them because they were competing with me.
00:07:26.580
And what I was putting out in the universe was, and this is how it works, guys.
00:07:32.500
What I was putting out was, I don't like that guy's success.
00:07:43.640
I'm jealous of him for this, that, and the other, okay?
00:07:48.360
Even if we don't say it, we think it, all right?
00:07:51.820
And the key is to weed our minds out of thinking this way because here's what happens.
00:07:58.040
The universe doesn't hear, oh, you hate this person or you hate this.
00:08:11.800
Because this other person over there is winning.
00:08:17.380
You get a bunch of shit that keeps you from winning.
00:08:19.960
You get a bunch of shit that keeps you from progressing.
00:08:22.820
You get a bunch of shit that will magically appear in your life
00:08:26.040
that keeps you from getting where you want to go.
00:08:29.320
And it feels like magic because we don't understand how these things work.
00:08:34.900
And there's not a lot of science to prove the quantum physical and metaphysical aspects
00:08:42.660
But let's just assume and just play along that you don't believe this.
00:08:50.520
Let's just assume that this is the way it actually works.
00:09:01.640
But you might because you might not have experienced things that I've experienced
00:09:06.240
So let's just assume that that's the fucking way it is, all right?
00:09:10.580
And every single time you say something negative, every single time you hate on someone,
00:09:17.000
every single time you say something out of jealousy, out of, you know, pure spite,
00:09:23.200
that you're telling God, the universe, whatever it is that you choose to believe,
00:09:29.500
the higher power, that there's a miscommunication happening there.
00:09:34.900
And they are taking it as you just hate that person's life.
00:09:46.280
They don't allow the doors to open for you to walk through.
00:09:48.340
And I can tell you with 1,000% certainty, guys, that when I started practicing this,
00:10:04.820
I see people who have, you know, quote, unquote, authority figures,
00:10:09.480
who have never found success in what it is that they do.
00:10:12.780
And they continue to attack people over and over and over again.
00:10:20.460
They're trying to embarrass and belittle and hate.
00:10:23.860
All because the person that they're hating on might be having a little more success
00:10:36.580
This is why you can have every advantage in the world.
00:10:44.980
But if you're constantly jealous and you're constantly verbalizing
00:10:49.600
or just thinking negative things about other people's success,
00:10:55.140
the world will not allow you to have success no matter how long you work,
00:11:01.420
no matter how hard you work, no matter what you do,
00:11:09.320
the universe, God, the higher power will keep you from having what it is you're telling them
00:11:22.380
it is not worth you saying or thinking the negative things about other people.
00:11:44.460
And the first step is to silence yourself when you're about to say it.
00:11:53.660
And instead, replace those thoughts with things like this.
00:12:21.280
And if he's winning like that, I know I can win like this.
00:12:27.460
I started seeing positive reinforcement about what I was capable of doing
00:12:32.600
versus, you know, me seeing it as something that was threatening to me.
00:12:39.040
And you hear about a lot of people talk about this.
00:12:43.620
And, you know, this is how the, you know, the feel-good gurus will tell you.
00:13:00.280
How do we actually get ourselves in a place where when we see even our competitors winning,
00:13:06.540
instead of being jealous, instead of being angry,
00:13:09.040
instead of verbalizing or thinking negative things,
00:13:14.320
you see it as a beacon of hope for your success.
00:13:21.080
That's when you become primed and ready to succeed.
00:13:25.420
Because until that point, you're not ready to succeed.
00:13:35.260
But I do not hate other people for having success.
00:13:40.600
I never get jealous of other people for having the things I want to have.
00:14:01.960
not only does the universe block you from getting where you want to get,
00:14:05.660
because you're telling them you don't want success.
00:14:12.860
it blocks your ability to observe the situation
00:14:18.760
Because you're so caught up in this emotion of jealousy
00:14:34.740
that you cannot actually see the tactical lessons
00:14:48.060
but a lot of times the reason you've got haters
00:14:52.080
You're the one out there making negative comments.
00:14:54.380
You're the one out there addressing things inappropriately
00:15:11.540
riling up your mob to fucking, you know, attack someone.
00:15:14.260
And guys, all you're doing is short-circuiting yourself
00:15:44.360
If anyone knows that they're not shit, it's me.
00:15:50.280
why the fuck you guys even listen to this podcast.
00:16:02.020
And instead, you know, learn to control your mouth,
00:16:24.200
Or am I just attacking them because I'm jealous?
00:17:48.840
it's going to keep you from getting what it is.
00:18:10.560
You have to get rid of your thought process too.
