YOU MUST KILL YOUR EXCUSES

0:02At the end of the day, you have the results that you’re after or the reasons why you don’t. You can have one or the other. Reasons or results. Notice, reasons don’t count. Excuses will always be there for you. Opportunity won’t. Excuses sound best to the person that’s making them up. You got every excuse in the world. That’s why your sh*t ain’t moving. You have convinced yourself that everything is wrong, everything is negative, and nothing will change, and guess what?

0:35It won’t change. Change your mind and it will change your life. Rejections don’t stop you. Failures don’t stop you. Critics don’t stop you. You stop you. The only limit you have is you. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Wake your ass up. Awaken the beast inside. The real beasts, they don’t give a f*ck about what’s happening around them. They just get the work done. These people don’t go tell people how hard they train. They train in the f*cking dark.

1:10These people live in darkness. You guys don’t even see their f*cking grind. So a lot of times people want to be those people. You don’t want to be those f*cking people. You have no idea what they went through. You have no idea. Winners and leaders do consistently what the others do occasionally. A real man in the dark, when nobody’s watching, he putting in work. You’ve got to have private wins. You got to win in the dark before you can win in the light.

1:36I don’t care what people think about me in the light. I am grinding in the dark. I’m working on the actions I need to do. I’m working on my character. I’m fixing stuff about me that needs to be fixed. That’s next level. That’s saying, although I’m already great at what I do, I’m ready to dig deeper. I’m ready to make another sacrifice. I’m ready to go somewhere everybody else ain’t ready to go. Everybody wants to be a beast.

1:58Everybody gets excited. Everybody talks positive about themselves. Everybody talks like you’re a beast. But then when it’s time to do what beasts do, you back up. You have an excuse. You can’t just say you want it. It’s cute to say it. But when it’s showtime, when the sun comes up, now it’s time to hunt. And what separates you from everybody else is that when it’s time to hunt, you ready to hunt. That means getting up early and going to bed late.

2:25That means you don’t go to sleep when you’re tired, you go when you’re done. You become a champion when ain’t nobody watching you. You’re doing your own drills and your own way. Set the standard, then raise the standard, then uphold the standard every single day. And some of you are like, that’s too much. Ah well, you’re not going to be a champion. "I don’t feel like it." shut your mouth. Winners live where quitters f*cking aren’t.

2:52You want to know where the winners are? They’re just playing where the quitters f*cking left. You think you’re going to get 50%? You think you’re going to get 70%? You think you’re going to get 80? I watch y’all. Y’all good. You’re real good at what you do. But some of you don’t finish. You need to be great. The real beast is the last four minutes. The real beast is when their legs give out. The real beast, when they tired, the real beast find a way to pull something out when nobody else ain’t got nothing.

3:20You have to be relentless. Never let off the gas, never stop, never quit. And all of the sh*t that you could ever wanna do for your family, your kids, your loved ones, it’s all gonna be on a whole other stratosphere. Of course it’s gonna get hard, of course there’s all kind of stuff that can f*ck with your focus. But you gotta stick that sh*t out, man. Get your ass back up and keep going. There’s another level to this thing. And there’s going to be moments when you get uninspired and discouraged.

3:48You’re going to feel like, why am I here? Why did I do this? What the f*ck, man? All my friends and my family and my loved ones is laughing at me. You’re supposed to feel discouraged sometimes because life is going to put you to the test trying to see how bad do you want it. It’s going to test your will and your heart and your mindset. It’s a game of will. It’s a game of mindset. It’s gonna only build character and make you a stronger individual.

4:12do you have what it takes? Because for everybody that’s motivated and inspired, we gonna get out here and we gonna go get it. And we gonna look at you and we gonna say, look, don’t be hating on me when you sat your ass at home complaining about everything in sight, and I got off my ass and I did the work. Every single thing in your life that’s hard, run to it. "That looks hard." good. Go get in it. Test yourself. This is an opportunity for me to grow.

4:38I’m here because I want to grow. I have to take complete ownership. So internally, I had to look at all the things that I didn’t have control over and say, I got to have control of it. Every single thing in my life, I got to take control. If we got to be uncomfortable, let’s be uncomfortable. every single aspect of your life, take control. You’re not a victim. Take control of your life. Don’t give me any f*cking excuses about you can’t control.

5:03Shut your mouth. You don’t f*cking want to. You don’t want to. You’re getting civilized. You’re getting soft. Whatever you put into something is whatever you get out of it. But some of you think something gets better by b*tching and whining and complaining and feeling like a little victim. So as I’m talking to you, you can make excuses or you can become a f*cking winner. What’s y’all’s favorite movie? The movie where it starts out where some rich kid gets a bunch of money from his dad, spends a whole bunch of money, the whole movie goes by, he buys whatever he wants, he never has a problem, and then the movie ends?

5:34Or is it a movie like Rocky? where he was the underdog. Nobody thought he was going to make it. He had everything going against him. And the underdog, the David, smashed the Goliath because they believed in themselves because they did the work, because they told themselves who they were and they didn’t give up and they had hope. Those are the favorite stories. the stories that start out with the dude living in his car and is a drug addict, but then pulls himself out and ends up changing the whole country.

5:58You want something? You make up your mind. And yes, it’s going to be hard, it’s going to be difficult, and you get more no’s than you do yes, but when you hold out? things will begin to happen you won’t even understand how. I need you to decide today without anyone else around who are you going to be, what is the plan going to be, and what’s life going to look like from now on. And you’re going to attack. I get sick and tired of people telling me how bad they want it, yet their actions don’t back up that statement.

6:32Having esteem for yourself only occurs when you put yourself on the line and you do something that’s incredibly difficult on a regular basis. That’s where pride comes from. Something that’s earned. So there are people who want stuff, but you kind of want it. Are you interested or are you obsessed? Obsession is wanting something so bad that I go to bed with it, I wake up to it, I make whatever sacrifice, I grind, I can’t live without it. A lot of people they wish and they’re not willing to work.

7:01I love the process. I love the thought of working for what I want. And I firmly believe you’re never supposed to wish for it more than you’re willing to work for it. Winners aren’t made on a stage or in the arena. they’re won in the thousands of hours in the training room, the study sessions, the 5 AM runs, in the rain, when everyone else is sleeping, That’s when it’s won. I’m here today, I’m an ordinary person, but I focused on my craft.

7:29I had burning desire to be excellent. I love what I do. It’s my oxygen. It’s my DNA. 4 in the morning I get up and I’m working on my craft because I love it. It’s the hidden work. I look at it as like a rock, and that rock is you. And every day you fight not wanting to get up and you do anyway, you chip another piece off that f*cking rock. And every day you go to train, and you train harder and harder and harder and harder, and you get up earlier, and all these things you do to start forming yourself, you’re chipping another piece of that rock off, and before you know it, that rock, it becomes the masterpiece in which you f*cking created.

8:04the only way to succeed is to pay full price. It takes blood, sweat, tears. There’s no f*cking shortcuts. Stop looking for them. If you want it, you got to work for it. You got to go earn it. I dare you to try to shortcut success. It’s not going to happen. You can’t go around it. You can’t go under it. You can’t go over it. The only way you can get to it is through it. I’m talking about the commitment that says I am going to stay true to what I said I would do long after the mood that I’ve set it in has left.

8:37Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. It just takes one more push-up, one more mile, one more grade, one more bit of effort, one extra little thing to get you where you’re trying to go. You gotta begin with the end in mind, so whatever your dream or your goal is, you gotta wake up every day to it. You gotta go to bed with it. You gotta read stuff. The music you listen to, everything you do, gotta pour into that dream.

9:06When you dedicate your life, you don’t care anything about the odds. When the dream is big enough, the odds don’t matter. Giving your all, it can be confusing to mediocre people. "I don’t understand why you gotta work so hard." You don’t have to. I’m doing this for me. ’Cause I’m going for greatness. instead of killing them with kindness, torture them with f*cking success. Keep your dreams phenomenal. Keep your vision phenomenal. And now I need you to get your weight up.

9:31I need you to get your schedule up. I need you to get your life up. I need you to get your action up. I need you to get to a place that every single thing that you do is phenomenal so that the life you want to live, you can actually live that life. While most people stop when they’re tired, I stop when I’m done. The only thing limiting your horizons is you.
