Relentless: Building Resilience and Winning the Long Game

0:00Because my beliefs have always been stronger than anyone's doubt. It's never about your setbacks. It's how you respond. The blows you take are few. The limitations people put on you are actually inspiration. You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments. It is to me, the sign of a champion. The best in the world and not the best because they win every point. It's because they know they lose again and again and have learned how to deal with it. You accept it. You move on. Be relentless. Adapting grow. Work harder. Work smarter. Remember. Work smarter. You need to work harder. You need to discipline your mind better. It starts off with you have to have pride in yourself. You have to be proud of yourself. We need to help people more than just saying it's okay.

1:02It's okay that you're not willing to help yourself out. That's not okay. It's not okay. It's not acceptable. Even though it's your life, if that's acceptable, that's unacceptable. A lot of people can take one more step but they choose not to. I don't know if you can take two steps. You're going to answer that question after you take the first step. But if you wake up in the morning and you don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself. Because that is the number one purpose in life. Is to better oneself. The man who never fell has no glory. The man who fell and got back up. That's where his glory is. The man who fell twenty times and got up twenty-one times. That man has even greater glory. Way more cursed than the guy who was so strong from birth that he never fell. There's no glory at that. You're struggling in life whether it's emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, financially, whatever it may be. It's very easy to look at your life and just see chaos.

2:03It's very easy to look at your life and just feel the weight holding you down. So wherever you're at, no matter what your situation is, I want you to stop for a minute and understand this. You don't have control over what happens. You don't get to decide the outcome. But what you do have control over is what you do and what you do influences the outcome. So what you need to do is sit down and decide, okay, what do you do? I have control over my effort, my attitude, my actions, who I spend my time with, who I don't spend my time with. The food I put in my body, the information I put in my brain. If all you do for the next three months is hammer down and focus on those things that you have control over and forget about the rest, the rest is going to take care of itself. What if it turns out better than you expected? What if you can trust yourself to be able to handle it? What if all those things you've been dreaming of are actually closer than you might realize? Active closing your eyes and rehearsing who you're going to be when you open your eyes

3:04begins to install neurological hardware in your brain to look like you've already done it. Now the brain, which is typically a record of the past, now becomes a map to the future. And if you keep doing it, the hardware begins to become a software program and you start behaving differently. And then if you can teach your body emotionally, but the future will feel like. That means that you're not going to wait for your wealth to feel abundant or your success to feel empowered or your new relationship to feel loved. In fact, the moment you start feeling abundant, you're generating wealth. The moment you start embracing empowerment, you're stepping towards your success. The moment you're in love with yourself and you're in love with life, you start creating equals in your life. Now that's causing impact in your life. Winning is a wonderful outcome. It's just not a great purpose. Your purpose for life should be rooted in who you are. So if your purpose is who you're becoming, it can't be shaken by winds or losses. Failure or success. You should want to win. You should want to be the best.

4:06These are great aspirations, but they should be outcomes of the person that you're committed to becoming. True desire in the heart, that itch that you have, whatever it is you want to do, that thing that you want to do to help others and to grow and to make money, that desire, that itch, that's God's proof to you. Sit beforehand already to indicate that it's yours. And anything you want, good you can have. So claim it. Work hard to get it. When you get it, reach back. Pull someone else up. Each one, teach one. Don't just aspire to make a living. Espire to make a difference. That the journey is truly the reward. I may not be who I want to be today,

5:09but I know I can be better tomorrow working towards who that person is to me. That's a choice for me. The winds and the losses, whether the games come and go, yes, am I dedicated to my craft? Yes. Am I going to make mistakes moving forward? Yes, am I ever going to be perfect? I'm just aware that you have to have laughter. You have to have fun in this. You have to smile. You can't, you can't, you can't put your foot in your purse during yourself because this one life to live. But understand this, life is hard. No matter who you are, there are bumps and hits and bruises along the way. And my advice is to prepare yourself. The truth is you don't have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren't. Consistent, determined, and willing to work for it. No shortcuts. You know how easy it is to stand out right now. Most people aren't even trying.

6:09We live in a day and age where the average individual is socially inept. They are so wrapped up in their own problems that they can't fathom providing value to anybody else. All you basically have to do to stand out amongst the rest is to try. To focus on your goals, take consistent action and show up every single day trying to add value to people. That alone is far more than most people are doing. So many people are completely asleep at the wheel. So if you just have a little bit of grit, a little bit of work ethic, a little bit of hustle, you can gain such a competitive advantage over them. It is disgusting. Those who can do, those who can't talk about those who can't. Send that out. Those who can do, those who can't talk about those who can't.
