I can’t fight for you I put on my shoes
I’ll put on my clothes like everyone in
here I have good days I have bad days
and go on and gone and this last two or
three or four repetitions that’s what
makes actually the muscle then grow and
that divides thing one from a champion
and one from not being a champion if you
can’t go through this pain period you
make it to be a champion
if you can’t go through forget it and
that’s what most people like isn’t this
having the guts – guts to go in and just
say I go through and I don’t care what
happens you know it aches and if I fall
down I have no fear of fainting in the
gym because I know it’s it could happen
I threw up many times while I was
working out but it doesn’t matter
because they want to become legends it
was written in the history books for all
but if you want to begin to move into
your own personal greatness if you want
to begin to really enjoy a happy
successful healthy life you’ve got to be
willing to go against the tide you’ve
got to be willing to harness your will
and say in spite of this I’m in control
here
you don’t truly appreciate relaxation
unless you’ve worked hard and that is
the yin and the yang of life I think
what you should try to do is try to earn
uncomfortable and if you if you can get
a day off where you you you’ve worked
hard and you accomplish goals that day
off would be so sweet
I think you have to feel quite compelled
to do it and have a fairly high pain
threshold the actual path is going to be
some sort of zigzag thing in that
direction and try not to deviate too far
from the path that that you want to be
on but you’re gonna have to that’s some
degree that difficulty is an opportunity
to get stronger to develop character to
gain new confidence anybody can give up
anybody can let it overwhelm you but you
know what that’s doing wasting your pain
that pain is not there to stop you it’s
there to prepare you to increase you to
develop you what we do in our times of
pain pain will change us heartache loss
disappointment defeated giving up on
your dreams or you can come out with a
new passion a new fire
excited about the new opportunities in
front of you all of us experience pain
my challenge don’t just go through it
get through it but you will be different
now how the pain changes you is up to
you the more authentic and honest you
the better you will be placed to do the
kind of work which will touch others and
because if you mean it
the chances are it’s gonna mean
something to somebody else and if you
can’t enjoy the journey which means the
step you’re taking at this moment it’s
really the most important thing yes of
course you know you’re going that way
but this step is still to be enjoyed
because that’s ultimately your whole
life consists of the step you are taking
at this moment that is never anything
else be that fulfillment notice when I
started noticing that fulfillment of it
I just finished well that’s enough
that’s it I don’t know if this thing I
don’t know if it’s even coming out enjoy
the journey not the destination a lot of
us delay our happiness when I get to
this level when I get my degree when I
get the kids when I get married I’m
gonna be happy enjoy the journey enjoy
the whole step the whole process every
day that you get up to strive for
whatever it is you’re after you know I’m
a goal lorry and a guy yeah I’m saying
you don’t celebrate when you get to the
finish line celebrate all along the way
I’m not gonna let this get me down I’m
not gonna let this destroy me I’m coming
back and I’ll be stronger and better
because of it you have got to make a
declaration but I’ve been working out
consistently since I was 14 years old
and I’m 44 I’m 33 years of hardcore
two-hour workout 30 years yeah so it
doesn’t happen overnight you just have
to enjoy the process learn to enjoy it
because I’m sure there was a point where
you started to enjoy using a hundred
thirty a pound yep yeah that’s the only
way you’re gonna keep going for me
inspiration is a is a journey it is not
a destination
okay it is a self you know motivated
internally motivated process it’s not
[Music]
find inspiration on blank pages I found
inspiration you know in my habits okay a
moments of quiet their intimacy on a
you know if it’s me and a kettlebell or
me taking a walk and just breathing in
[Music]
something that just because you arrived
at the gates of success that somehow is
a new experience it’s different than
when you were not not successful it is
exactly the same
I remember after losing the hundred
meters are someone said to me that you
say no worry Mohammed Ali lost his last
fight also so don’t be stressed about
that and for me I’ve proven myself year
in year out through my whole career and
I don’t think one championship one
release or the fact that I I didn’t in
my last race he’s gonna change the fact
of what I’ve done in the sport no I’ve
I’ve seen too many people retire and
come back into sports just to really
make it worse or to shame themselves so
I personally know I won’t be one of
those persons to come back I’ve proven
to the world that you can do it you
can’t be the great without doping so
hopefully young Ali’s can look at me and
see and that’s one of the things that I
wanted to help
also when if I get a chance to be your
on electrics to preach to the younger
kids from my younger age and explain to
them the work and what I’ve been through
thanks for being a part of this and
watching my journey and helping me to
build and and so on and so forth so I
just want to thank you guys I really
appreciate that you can do 18 22 hours a
day easily just keep banging on to
thrive in more every to please
understand your to writin know what your
target is don’t guess it because Crudup
is the next one because that’s that’s
that’s your petrol that sure you you
fuel to get you
if you don’t know where you’re going
what your targets are you never any
other I’m not afraid to fail I’m not
afraid to fall over make a mistake that
often time cripples people only one set
of getting too into anything I’m not
afraid of that feeling it actually
propels me works quite the opposite
work hard sleepless just imagine myself
collecting awards just imagine myself
you know I mean getting big parts
imagine myself working with the great
actor my imagination is the one that
yeah man I see myself driving that car
one day I mean that’s as part of my
inner magic is that actually if I can
see myself doing keep your head down
like when I swim 25 laps guaranteed if I
look up and start counting those laps
I’m Pete it out by 15 if I put my head
down and keep walking away and work a
technique work it internal rhythm work
it oh I hit that length I don’t even
know what length from one guarantee of
look up in every twenty and two more
three more to go
and that’s a very simple device but I
hope people find themselves incremental
checking how far they’ve gone
and that you know when you compare to
anybody else or whatever it’s just a
it’s a recipe for disaster just keep
banging on achievement achievement is
inspirational people are doing it
someone that on Monday didn’t know how
to do this by Friday can do it that is
an inspiration to me I’ve always worked
hard you know I mean like I said I’m not
I’m not afraid of failing
IVA you know I’m saying I got I I’ve
thought that so many times that this is
it I’m never gonna work again and it
just kept going I’ve just never stopped
working you know and I mean even when
you know I had four years of not
actually booking jobs I was out on the
streets trying to edge work hard
sleepless people talk about aiming for
the skies sometimes even aiming for the
skies is in Thibodaux just dull give
yourself pound ease lose the boundaries
I study streets thinking about you know
one day I’m gonna be on in New York and
New York was that you know sort of big
oh you begin if you don’t know now you
it’s true your friends family and loved
ones will be the first ones to try and
when you’re ready to do something and
try something new
that’s out of your comfort zone that’s
out of your norm it’s always the one
you’re dating the one you’re married to
the one that’s in your family your
friends in your immediate circle that
will always try and talk you out of
doing something special and significant
without having fear and rejection
without having fear of the word know do
you know how many people have had
visions ideas and huge career moves that
they were about to make and they allowed
the word no to stop them
from changing the landscape of their
life and their family lives so many
people are afraid of rejection and the
word no it is the saddest shit up of a
witnessed in my life
boldly walking to the room but your head
held up high and if they don’t get it
laugh about it don’t disown your ideas
because their disowning your ideas don’t
lose confidence in your ideas because
they don’t have confidence in your ideas
keep the faith
don’t be afraid to walk into the
unfamiliar don’t be afraid to do what’s
it’s this time now so we must readjust
see now it’s time to go to a different
thought process but the goals remains
the goal and slinky brand it on a piece
of paper
for this decision because the only
reason I’m here the only reason we’re
here today is because is everything I’ve
been to has defined Who I am right now
before anything great it’s really a
the only way worse that’s all the way it
works
if we don’t understand what we what we
must take back we will never go
[Applause]
important things that have learned along
the way is the value of time so it’s
understanding what your skill set is
finding the right place to use those
skills and then going for it what kind
of a story you tell in one that ability
to get myself up in the morning no
matter how tired I was to push myself
through those pain points you know hard
work pays – yeah I have the same work
like someone’s trying to take it all
away from you you see you can’t actually
save time you can just find different
ways to spend it so when you say you
don’t have time to do something you’re
really saying that you’re using your
time for other things one cool thing
about time is that it continues on at the same pace despite how busy we go
I’ll put on my clothes like everyone in
here I have good days I have bad days
and go on and gone and this last two or
three or four repetitions that’s what
makes actually the muscle then grow and
that divides thing one from a champion
and one from not being a champion if you
can’t go through this pain period you
