Don’t give up on yourself | Shimon Davis

0:00Don't lose the battle to your own mind. Don't become a slave to your own mind. It is very easy to do nothing. It is very easy to procrastinate. It is very easy to be lazy and give up on yourself. Because it's comfortable. Let's be honest. Grind and work your heart. It's uncomfortable. No one wants to do it. It's not fun. But comfort is killing your dreams. Fun is killing your dreams. All these weaknesses we have in our mind. Your mind knows everything about you, your strengths, your weaknesses, what you scared of, what you don't like, don't, what you like doing. And it has a way of using all those things against you, especially in crucial moments of your life. And you have to realize that the mind is the strongest and the weakest thing that you have. That's just duality of it. That's just the nature of the mind. Your mind is your greatest enemy and your greatest friend. And you can actually train your mind to work for you.

1:03You have to master the monster because you are the monster. Your mind is the monster. You have control and you have to give yourself control. When you feel out of control, then you give up all your control. Just a few days ago, I was sitting on a stockpile of videos. I've been uploading every day, recording every day, getting a lot of stuff done. And a word got off, did some things. Want to sleep, walk up and for my off day. I cleaned up a little bit and then when it was time for me to get in front of the camera, I was tired. I was like, man, I don't think I'm gonna do anything today. Like it's so catering to do things some days. That's what I was telling myself. I was coping, essentially. And I laid there for a little bit. And then I got up and like, I'm like literally talking to myself like, bro, what the hell are you doing? You wanted to change your situation, right? Why are you caving in and falling for this weakness?

2:05You are not that tired. If you have work today, you'll be going to work. So get up and do what you love. Do something for yourself. Don't fall into the foolery. Don't be tricked by the foolery. Your mind has a way of letting all these external thoughts and ideas and what people say in the way they want to do. People say in the way they feel it has a way of letting that stuff creep into your head. When you tell people about your dreams and stuff, they put you down and that stuff creeps into your mind. So then when you take action and actually do things for you, all those thoughts are like, yo, stop. I don't want to see you succeed. It just creeps in there. That's why you become paralyzed. That's why you get lazy. I need a break and all this stuff. You have to train the mind. So I hope that message reached you because I'm tired of this here. And I was about to go on the yappens free. But I'm just into there.

3:09So I love you people. Yeah, man. Come out. Let me know something. Freedom. I
