begin each day as if it were on purpose
it was a young man who you know he
wanted to make a lot of money and so he
went to this guru right you come to guru
you know I want to be on the same level
you are and so the Guru said if you want
to be on the same level I’m all I’ll
meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4 a.m.
[Music]
everybody wants to be a beast and two
it’s time to do what real bees do
everybody gets excited he teed a guru
story but nobody wants to get up at
three o’clock
[Music]
he liked the beach I said I wanna make
money I don’t want to swim who said if
you want to make money I’ll meet you
tomorrow
4:00 a.m. so the young man got there
4:00 a.m. he all ready to rock and roll
got on the suit he should have wore
shorts old man grabs his hand said how
bad you want to be successful he said
real bad he said walk on out in the
water and everybody wants to be a beast
to his time to do it real beast do
so he walks out into the woman watch
this when he walks out to the ward it
goes waist deep so he said come on a
little further walk that look further
then he had it right around in this area
just over the area so its own crazy
making money but he crazy said come on
how to look far they can’t my little
farther it was right at his mouth my man
like I’m about to go back into this guy
his mind so old man I thought you said
you wanted to be successful he said I do
he said walk a little fun he can’t drop
his head held him down hold him down
my man getting scratching hauling him
down he had him held down just before my
man was about to pass out he raised him
up
[Music]
you can’t you can’t just say you want it
you can’t watch the video and say I
wasn’t as bad as I want to breathe its
to to say it but when it’s Showtime when
the Sun comes up when the Sun comes up
you’ve got all the books you’ve got all
the tapes you’ve got all the access now
it’s time to hunt and what separates you
from everybody else is that when it’s
time to hunt your radar hunts you may be
watching this right now
and you have these incredible ideas and
what you think is missing is motivation
and that’s not true because the way that
our minds are wired and the fact about
human beings is that we are not designed
to do things that are uncomfortable or
scary or difficult our brains are
designed to protect us from those things
because our brains are trying to keep us
alive and in order to change in order to
build a business and in order to be the
best parent the best spouse to do all
those things that you know you want to
do with your life with your work with
your dreams you’re gonna have to do
things that are difficult uncertain or
scary which sets up this problem for all
of us
you’re never gonna feel like it
motivations garbage you only feel No
to do the things that are easy
whether it’s hard or easy doesn’t matter
you’re doing this
he said when you were underwater what
did you want to do the only thing you
trying to do is get some air you don’t
care about no basketball game you don’t
care what’s on TV you don’t care about
nobody calling you you don’t care about
a party the only thing you care about
when you’re trying to breathe is to get
some fresh air that’s it and when you
get to the point where all you want to
do is be successful as bad as you want
to breathe then you’ll be successful
I know you feel
go to bed last night all these ideas by
your going up this morning and the
different things gonna be different
failure to start
taking steps some of those projects you
know get you closer to living that dream
like you keep playing over and over in
your head
[Music]
everybody wants to be a beast it was
time to do real please do
most of you say you want to be
successful but you don’t want it bad you
just kind of want it you don’t want it
badder than you want a party you don’t
know what it as much as you want to be
cool you bustard you don’t want success
as much as you want to sleep
[Music]
train hard when no one’s in the room
when you’re having a bad day through
death through hardship through anything
that can go wrong
therapy days I would train by myself or
with my fiance Cherie and I would be in
there dying
I mean are dying looking at those
pictures in the gym of Schwarzenegger
with Coleman
love Haney of torreón of everybody and
I would just tell myself just give it
everything you got so you can play
yourself in the best position to win and
that’s all we can do in life people
sometimes life is gonna serve it up some
curveballs but I challenge each and
every one of you to step in that
batter’s box and take a damn swing just
take a swing
[Music]
I’ve had one trainer one I did my first
pro show in 2006 at the Colorado probe
we did the New York pro after that and
we won both of them and a lot of people
thought you know what this guy is gonna
be something and on the boys told me
fill depth understand something it’s a
marathon not a sprint and the
measurement of a man is when he gets
knocked down not when he’s winning so I
lost a few times and he always reminded
me of just to keep on going and be the
hardest worker in the room just like
what you say and when people tell you
you can’t you don’t look at them you
don’t need to look at them you look in
the mirror and you ask yourself you ask
your girlfriend or whatever it is you
ask yourself you have the guts to go
after it when no one is watching no
one’s pat you on the back and no one is
liking your stuff on frickin social
media if you got the guts to go after it
you can put yourself as best position to
win that’s what I did for this entire
prep it was not easy
I put that god-given talent to work each
every damn day
[Music]
and I’m so thankful I’m so thankful for
the Olympia I’m so thankful to be a
bodybuilder because it wasn’t meant for
me to play basketball I mean look at me
on the short as hell you know it doesn’t
work out like that God had a different
plan obviously and I’m glad that I
listened and I’m glad that I never gave
up and I know there’s a lot of
incredible athletes wanting to kick my
ass next year but I know this winning
has habitual
if you care about your success more than
anyone else in the room I promise you
this you will be successful at some
point in time but the goal is is that
when you are successful that you don’t
just hide it for yourself you don’t just
hold it for you so you share those
experiences and perspectives with
everybody else so then making it so then
they can feel the confidence to go after
their dreams and I’m just proud to be a
seven-time mr. Olympia
and like the and like the great oak said
next year I’ll be back and I’m here to
tell you number one that most of you say
you want to be successful but you don’t
want it bad you just kind of want it you
don’t want it badder than you want a
party you don’t want it as much as you
want to be cool you most of you don’t
want success as much as you want to
sleep something you love sleep more than
you love success and I’m here to tell
you today if you’re going to be
successful you’ve got to be willing to
give up sleep you got to be willing to
work off for three hours of sleep two
hours if you really want to be
successful some days you will have to
stay up three days in a row because if
you go to sleep you might miss the
opportunity to be successful that’s how
bad you gotta want it you got to go days
not listen to me you’ve got to want to
be successful so bad that you forget to
eat be honest I said once she was on the
set doing her thing three days had gone
by she forgot she didn’t eat because she
was engaged
[Music]
50 said that when he wasn’t doing the
movie he was doing the soundtrack and
they said when do you sleep fifty sleep
he said sleep sleep is for those people
who are broke I’ll sleep there is
something better for you to do with your
time than even being here right now I am
mr. resistance I’m distracting you from
doing the work you need to do
[Music]
[Music]
begin each day as if it were on purpose
[Music]
[Music]
she said to me once I wish you would
just kill yourself you’re such a burden
to me I think I was 9 when my mom drove
me down to the deepest part of Baja
California and she walks me up to an
orphanage and she knocks on the door and
the guy comes to the door and she says I
found this kid and she left me there for
90 days until my grandmother to get out
of her where she had ducked to me and my
grandmother came and rescued me my mom
beat me every single day of my
elementary school years would think you
could imagine and a lot of things you
couldn’t every day my back was bloodied
and scarred
[Music]
I had to wear three t-shirts to school
each day first t-shirt because the blood
would seep through and second t-shirt
you can still see it finally the third
t-shirt you couldn’t see any blood
kids at school they make fun of me a
fool it’s a hundred degrees why are you
wearing three t-shirts and then he
stopped speaking so overwhelmed with
emotion and he seemed to be staring at a
piece of his story that only he could
see when he could regain his speech she
said through his tears I wore three
t-shirts well into my adult years
because I was ashamed of my wounds I
didn’t want anybody to see him but now I
welcome my wounds I run my fingers over
my scars my wolves are my friends after
all
how can I help heal the wounded if I
don’t welcome my own wills
the measure of our compassion lies not
in our service of those on the margins
but only in our willingness to see
ourselves in kinship
[Music]
[Music]
you have to be the hero of your own
story and you can do that
90% of his just showing up get there and
start working like you’re not gonna feel
perfect every day
there’s got to be those days you push
through and there they’re probably gonna
be more numerous than the days you don’t
and so the benefit of discipline in my
eyes has always been that through
discipline I get things done write down
everything you want to do this is what I
want you to do write down what you would
like to fix about your life and then
just if you’re 30 pounds overweight you
want to lose 30 pounds do it the right
way go start eating vegetables monitor
your calories write down what you eat
exercise every day force yourself to do
it the brain is the general the troops
of the body and you get up and you do it
and then you get to write it down our
bodies for whatever reason most people
their associations are to avoid anything
that’s uncomfortable
[Music]
it’s so illogical because when you look
at comfort and you look at success and
progress and then eventual the feelings
of accomplishment and of getting past
certain hurdles and in terms of like how
you feel about life a lot of those are
connected to discomfort like discomfort
is your friend it really it a discomfort
and and not being happy and content with
certain situations in life or certain
feelings in life one of the big problems
is sitting down and doing the work and
he labels it like an enemy calls it
resistance you know and that you have to
sit down you have to overcome resistance
and that the pro goes to work and it
doesn’t matter if you’re sick doesn’t
matter if you have kids it doesn’t
matter what you you’re a pro and you go
to work and that and that just it puts
it in your head that this is what I do
you have pride in that and then when you
are in front of that keyboard and you’re
you got you look down the count it’s set
for 2017 when you know you should write
or you know you should paint or whatever
uses sculpt whatever these things are
you pursue and that there’s this thing
that comes up that tries to keep you
from doing that
this resistance
[Music]
you’re not a hero in your own eyes
you’re not you’re not someone who you
respect you know you’re doing what you
got to do to get by but ultimately
you’re not respecting yourself and I
think we all have a certain amount of
appreciation and respect for hero
figures you know like we all look at
like the guy who never lies and always
does the right thing and fucking helps
everybody out and that’s the John Wayne
character you know that’s that’s the
ultimate hero and he’s like this is a
battle that you will fight for the rest
of your life but the key is to fight it
not to give in don’t give in to that
resistance to fight just to fight that
resistance and in doing so every day you
do so you have won the battle for that
day and you will continue to fight that
battle and when you look at your own
life and you don’t stack up you’re a
thief you stole money from your wife’s
purse and you know you don’t want to
smoke cigarettes but you fucking have to
you can’t deal with the stress and smoke
you devalue yourself you slowly start
devaluing yourself you look at yourself
you realize that if you were judging
yourself you would judge yourself
unfavorably so no matter who you you
can’t pretend you’re the hero of your
story
you can be the hero of your own story
that woke up today you could be the hero
of your own story that at forty years of
age stopped got out of bed and said I’m
not doing this anymore
only by my instincts and only by my
morals and my ideals and my mind and I’m
gonna be dead honest with myself because
I’m realizing this is not gonna last
forever and I’m gonna get myself in
shape but I’m gonna eat healthy and I’m
gonna do this because this is me this is
me now
[Music]
I decided this is me
[Music]
and people have to realize that you are
not your past you are not all the times
you fucked up but not all the times you
were drunk
that’s not you what you you are the
person who’s learned from a great deal
of experience when you’re alone with
your thoughts you get an idea of what
your thoughts actually are you live your
life just acting constantly on the
momentum of other people’s expectations
of you wanting to be liked by these
other people you can run into a trap and
you you you set up a life that you
didn’t really want your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
certainly some sort of a journey you’re
trapped in this situation where you have
a mortgage
you’ve got credit card bills you’ve got
student loans you have to pay you have a
bunch of shit going on you have to
continue to feed and all that and
especially if you have a family and you
have to feed them oh my goodness
then you’re fully locked in you can’t
take any chances whatsoever and
oftentimes people make the mistake of
getting stuck and it is just a tactical
mistake just like it would be a mistake
if you got stuck on a video game just
like it would be a mistake if you
followed a map incorrectly and you get
stuck in the woods your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
certainly some sort of a journey and we
have to all be aware that when we’re
making journeys we’re not going to
always make the right steps and
sometimes you have to back up and try
again and if you’re in a position where
you can’t back up and try again you’ve
trapped yourself
as people define themselves by the past
instead of thinking about who they are
now instead of eight they still look
back at a mistake they made and don’t
just get past that mistake grow and
learn
but dwell on it think it defines them
I mean there’s definitely pitfalls in
life you’re gonna run into him we all
are no you didn’t learn and grow if you
survive somewhere along the line they
didn’t face enough of the adversity to
realize that there’s sometimes you just
got to get up and get shit done there’s
sometimes we have to fucking pull
yourself up and you have to push forward
even if you want to stay in bed having
that safety net just provided him with a
way to stay in bed kept him weak
have an opportunity every time things go
wrong every time things feel terrible
you have an opportunity to learn from
whatever makes you feel terrible and
never allow it to happen again
push forward the system will set out
honey pots for people to get trapped in
the system will set out the ideas of
retirement the ideas of the golden years
providing you benefits providing you a
healthy work environment why well
because they want people to work for
them they don’t want people to realize
their own dreams and escape they want to
set it up so that you stick around stick
around some sort of an unsatisfying
world it’s up to you to see that video
game problem to see that issue as it
comes up on the map known I think this
is a right turn to see all the problems
that could potentially lay in front of
you and calculate your your future and
then also look around all the people
that didn’t do it and look at the misery
that they’re in and learn that you don’t
want to be like them
and most people get stuck in these
patterns or they define themselves on
the pursue doesn’t follow through on
their ideas or a person who doesn’t
pursue the real interests in loves you
define yourself by that well you know I
guess when I start things and I quit no
you don’t know you have started things
and you quit and it gives you a horrible
sense of regret that’s made you define
yourself by that you don’t have to do
that I look back on anything I’ve ever
done mistakes ever made a pass that I
you know what something I put out that I
didn’t quite yeah maybe I waited three
months before I released that or maybe I
should have you know re-edited that blog
post a couple more times for I put it
online or things that I’ve done have
driven me crazy but yelling at someone I
didn’t have to yell at them for whatever
but the most important thing is always
for all people to recognize it you’re
not who you were a year ago you’re not
who you were five years ago you’re not
who you were last week so you gotta
regulate how much you dwell on regrets
of the past you really got to be careful
it’s also directly proportionate to the
amount of hardships that people face in
life their ability to face hardships you
know and there’s a lot of folks that
live life on a cushy cloud of
marshmallows and bullshit and then one
day something goes wrong and then look
at the people that are have kind of
taken chances and navigated their way
what did they do differently
[Music]
what insight into their own mistakes are
they willing to delve into that you’re
not that you step back and go you know I
don’ts don’t I just don’t want to look
at myself that closely but the person
who’s able to look at themselves the
closest is gonna get the more rational
results a closed mindedness that amounts
to an imprisonment so total that the
prisoner doesn’t even know he’s locked
up
the most powerful tool that you have
right now in your life in your body is
your mind
give me a new perspective give me a new
way of looking at my situation give me a
new way of looking at my circumstances
get my mind ready for this year
you can’t please everybody but they’re
people who have the fear of rocking the
boat oh yes it’s gonna be some struggles
it’s gonna be some challenges it’s gonna
be some tests but even the struggles are
an opportunity for me to show off the
victory if my mind can handle the change
[Music]
the life is too short for that too short
and unpredictable moseying through
not trying to disturb anything not
trying to shake anything up not trying
to make any waves unless yoga that never
going to be I can’t get any younger
I can’t roll the clock back
[Music]
you are wasting time you have to let the
past go and step open to the future
when you set goals when you have an
intention on something that you want to
change about your life your brain helps
you what it does is it opens up a
checklist and then your brain goes to
work trying to remind you it was cold it
was winter in Boston and for the first
time in three months I had beaten my
habit of hitting the snooze button
[Music]
and it’s really important to develop the
skill before you are boxed in very
decide that you’re gonna box and bury
your fears decide that you’re going to
begin to live life on a new level
seeking out new horizons that you’re
gonna find more love and more joy and
more ways to give I wanted to change my
life and I think most people that are
miserable or that are that are really
like dying to be great and dying to have
work we want to change we want to live a
better life we want to create more for
our families we want to be happy the the
desire is there again it’s about how do
you go from knowledge to action
so the first thing in the story that’s
important is realizing that the answer
was in me and my mind was telling me pay
attention
[Music]
so when you begin to say what is it that
I want to leave what contribution that I
want to begin to make what difference do
I want to make in life what is it that I
want to do with the rest of the life
that I have left what what chances I
need to take what risks do I need to
begin to embrace what fears do I need to
step on what areas of my life of my dad
right now what dream you can even live
your dreams or live your fears you have
got to get to a point where you say I’m
sick and tired of living like this
there’s got to be more
let’s see that’s when people go out and
strike out on their dreams how you going
to make it I don’t know but I will I’m
gonna keep on kicking I’m gonna cut them
off this never give up warriors no
matter how many years you’ve lived up
till now no matter how many years you
have yet to live no matter how many
fuck-ups you’ve made in your life in the
time you’ve had on this planet no matter
how much in that time you fucking waste
it over and over and over right now is
the moment you have
that’s all you’ve got right now as
you’re watching me you should be here
now where are you where are you right
now because most people can’t
concentrate on anything longer than 30
fucking seconds and I hope I hope I hope
you can be honest with me and tell me
that you’re looking right at me right
now you realize that I’m give you my
total undivided attention because I want
your mindset about yourself and about
the world at large to change right
fucking now we’re going to start with
two things most people will say about
virtues virtues being those things that
you put in action that leads to positive
good consequences vices being those
things you do that lead to bad and
negative consequences most people will
say about virtues that the most
important virtue to have is courage that
all the other virtues will follow from
courage or the most important virtue is
integrity honesty or perseverance
whichever one they choose is the most
important one they say that’s the first
one you do that when you practice that
when you put that one in action all the
other ones will follow I disagree the
most important virtue that you need to
have a play that you need to have buried
deep inside of you and it needs to be
operating in its optimal levels all the
time 24/7 is your belief your belief in
yourself because if you don’t believe
first that who you are this being that
you are this human being you are your
life here on this planet is of value is
of a value in and of itself worth
something then those other virtues won’t
mean anything to you at all they won’t
have any worthiness to you at all even
if you happen to stumble by mistake or
by accident across putting them to the
action once in a while the first thing
the first virtue you need to have
operating and a hundred percent is your
belief in yourself belief not in who you
are but in what you are what the fuck
are you
you’re an animal you’re an animal is
created by a fucking creator and you
have a unique set of skills and tools
and Billings and powers that makes you
more powerful than any other creation or
being or animal on this fucking planet
you have your mind your mind gives you a
greater power than any other animal has
been fucking created and your potential
in life lies there it begins and fucking
ends there what you will do in your life
where you will go in your life is how
much you believe in the power of this
fucking thing here there are no limits
on what you can learn and no with your
mind and what you can achieve how far
you can push it what kinds of demands
can be placed on it what kind of
challenges you can rise up to if you
will only engage the power of your mind
and you have to believe that first and
foremost because when you do that then
this potential for greatness you have
inside of you is undeniable you won’t
ever question you won’t ever have any
doubts about it and you will know that
the potential for this greatness is
totally absolutely fucking unlimited and
every fucking way this is what makes it
happen all you fucking guys out there
that are stronger than Erb are loaded
with weight pushing for those PRS every
day and I know that you come here
because you I think my injection videos
me on here on the video jacked you up to
get in there and do that business but it
isn’t just about making PRS in the
waiting room it’s about living a fucking
strong life and you start with power and
self belief and that you are a unique
fucking individual this thumbprint makes
you different from the other six billion
people on this planet and it fucking
stands for something
it’s not for nothing
and you need to believe that every
fuckin cell or your body needs to
believe that that you are one-of-a-kind
that you are a fucking the rajul and
that you will not apologize for it at
all and that’s the second thing I want
to talk about today The Lying stops now
the lying fucking stops right now the
lying you do to yourself every fucking
day when you push back against the
fucking greatness that wants to come out
of you from now on you do not give the
benefit of the doubt to the rest of the
fucking world and all the other people
in this planet you take your head out of
the fucking world’s ass you start
thinking for yourself and you realize
that not everybody on this planet wants
to be a fucking leader not everybody on
this planet wants to do something great
in their lives like you feel that voice
inside of you
urging you on to do no you stop you
don’t apologize anymore for this fucking
greatness that lies on you and this
desire you have to want to bring it
alive no more no more at all the world
needs fucking leaders and it needs you
and that’s why you’re here that’s why
you stepped up to the fucking edge of
the cliff you weren’t fucking afraid and
you’re jumping off in freefall but down
a parachute and you’re gonna figure
fucking things out on the way down
that’s what we’re gonna do here at War
University from here on out you stop
lying to yourself you stop allowing
yourself to get by on the fucking weak
willed weak body weak minded thoughts
that are always there pushing the step
forward step out in front of the fucking
great ones and the bold ones and the
brave ones
bold is genius you came here to be
genius then this point forward here were
University here take that fuckin genius
inside of you and show off to the rest
I’m the warrior man
always believe you’ve just seen some
pictures of Macintosh now I’d like to
show you Macintosh in person all of the
images you are about to see on the large
screen will be generated by what’s in
that bag
a lot of people come to me they say well
I want to be an entrepreneur and I go
that’s great what’s your idea and they
go well I don’t have one yet and I say
well I think you should go get a job as
a busboy or something until you find
something you’re really passionate about
because it’s a lot of work and I’m
convinced that about half of what
separates the successful entrepreneurs
from the non successful ones is pure
perseverance it is so hard you pour so
much your life into this thing there are
such rough moments in time that most
people give up I don’t blame them it’s
really tough and it consumes your life I
mean if you’re if you’ve got a family
and you’re in the early days of a
company it’s I can’t imagine how one
could do it I’m sure it’s it’s been done
but it’s rough I mean because it’s a
pretty much a you know an 18 hour day
job seven days a week for a while so
unless you have a lot of passion about
this you’re gonna not survive you’re
gonna give it up so you’ve got to have
an idea or a problem or a wrong that you
want to write that you’re passionate
about otherwise you’re not going to have
the perseverance to stick it through and
I think that’s half the battle right
there
and so things were kind of slipping
backwards and McIntosh was you saw the
1984 commercial put that I hope you have
that in your archives you know Macintosh
was basically this this relatively small
company you know in Cupertino California
taking on the Goliath IBM and saying
wait a minute your way is wrong this is
not the way we want computers to go this
is not the legacy we want to leave this
is not what we want our kids to be
learning this is wrong and we are going
to show you the right way to do it and
here it is it’s called Macintosh and
this is so much better than its gonna
beat you and we are gonna do it and
that’s what Apple stood for
[Music]
a lot of forces in life that tend to
tend to funnel us down into this
institutionalize man
and where people you know
where people sometimes forget that that
they’re very unique and that they have
very unique feelings and perspectives
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Applause]
so it’s early Monday morning and I’ve
been wanting to make a Monday morning
video for a long time but finally d-roc
we’re doing it so real quick this is
just a rant very simple and something
that I want you to pass on or watch
every Monday morning because the level
of complaining is unacceptable look what
if I told you this was the last Monday
morning of your life what if I told you
you died this week would you complain
about your crap job or that test you
don’t want to take I doubt it
you would go much higher level thinking
well that’s really what it takes it
takes understanding that if you’re not
pumped right now if you’re begrudging
what you’re about to do it here if
you’re not looking forward to it look I
respect practicality you got to go
through school cuz your parents want to
you got to pay your rent you got student
loans I get it but please recognize the
world we’re living in we’re living in a
world where there’s so much more
opportunity this internet thing created
way more opportunity for all of us way
more I mean look you only might even be
alive like your mom and dad could have
had sex like three minutes later and you
wouldn’t even exist and you’re
complaining you could have ended up
being a bus agree I just don’t get the
mentality of being head down sad on a
Monday morning I’m gonna make Monday
morning my bitch I’m gonna make you
Saturday Monday morning that’s what I
want to do every morning and that’s what
I want from you please take a step back
and think about how awesome it actually
is and then recognize that you can
attack the world in a totally different
way because you were lucky enough to be
born during this era
[Music]
then take care about everything and it
starts with yourself look yourself in
the mirror and ask yourself what do I
want to do every day for the rest of my
life do that it’s coming stop crying and
just keep hustling so many of you that
actually want this have the skills to do
this right and sometimes once in a while
just need to see a different version of
it to understand ah right ah to me this
is an AA video right did you mail it in
did you mail in that 15 minute 15 minute
call got cancelled you had a packed day
15 hour day they got canceled what are
you in that 15 minutes
by the way sometimes those 15 minutes
are absolutely worth calling your mom
calling your daughter FaceTime with your
kids every minute has to count every
minute past account if you want so much
because you just don’t have as many of
them as you think you just don’t and you
need to start creating layers and layers
and layers and layers of skin to be able
to get through because the glamour of
being an entrepreneur the goodness you
know you get very confused by my
optimism because it’s my optimism I
can’t help it it’s just how I roll it’s
probably one of the variable 1% reasons
why I’m successful but please don’t get
it twisted
this is hard every day is hard and if
you don’t have the stomach to weather
the storm you will not be successful
I’m scared that you don’t realize that
you’re entering the greatest five year
window of your life if you are
twenty-two years old and graduating from
college shit if you’re 22 years old and
not graduating from college if you are
twenty-two years old you are entering
first of all some of the greatest years
of your life a but be this this is the
moment watch this video twice if mama’s
watching this send this to your daughter
Sally right now because you have to
understand this next five year window is
when you don’t go practical and safe
this is not the time to get the job mom
wanted you to this is not the time to
try to maximize as much money so you can
buy a fat whip this is the time to
realize that you’ve a five year window
and it’s three for some it’s eight for
others but there’s a five year window
for you to attack the life that you want
to win not because it’s the secret or
cuz the world so Zen because it’s
fucking hard as shit out there as a
matter of fact I’m probably more scared
about your naivete to how hard class is
easy right what you’ve been doing for
the last 16 years is easy it’s a fucking
bullshit game it’s structured it’s easy
the world this thing this thing is hard
however that contradicts what I’m gonna
tell you right now which is this is the
best and easiest five years of your life
because this is when you need to attack
what you love and what you want to do
here’s why you don’t have all the
baggage you may have college loans
respect it’s hard as shit you may have
the expectations of your parents
mentally hard fake hard you may have a
lot of other things but this is exactly
when you can live with four roommates in
a basement and eat fucking fast food do
you understand this is not when the
babies they’re some of your babies this
is not when you’ve been married and you
promised this is not when the world has
sucked out all your dreams and hopes yet
you still got this window and yet so
many of you are so hungry for short-term
short-term games like maximizing the job
that paid you $3,000 more but it’s not
as fun but you want that three
thousand dollars for what for what for a
new iPhone for what you get to live life
one time and this is the time right now
to understand what’s actually happening
and actually map your behavior to
something that will impact you for the
next 80 years so promise me promise me
all you youngsters that are watching
this right now in the fucking comments
because I’ll jump in and talk to you
promise me that you understand that the
land grab of happiness starts right now
that you don’t have to worry about
getting that job what you should do is
go and travel and learn go and start
that business that you’ve always wanted
hook up with those three teammates and
start that band you’ve always wanted
this is the time to be massively risk
massively risk oriented I know that this
is when you’re supposed to grow up and
go see the world but guess what the
world isn’t what mommy and daddy told
you the world is exactly going to be
what its going to be with or without the
way you thought it was going to be a ton
of shit is gonna change the world
changes every goddamn day right now what
you need to recognize is you can afford
to and not all of you I’m sure somebody
will leave a comment say I’ve got a loan
I get it respect but that loan is gonna
be there whether you go and try to build
something for yourself or not one way or
the other and by the way you can work at
night this is when you put in the 18
hours a day to make your life thing you
want happen and again because I’m scared
I can see myself fucking talking I’m not
saying it’s the secret it’s practicality
when you’re in your early 20s this is
when you can grind at your highest
levels cuz there isn’t all the fucking
baggage that comes across through life
it’s harder for the 42 year olds that
are watching right now to listen to this
advice
you can’t just wake up to her and be
like let’s go because little Sally has
soccer fucking practice and because
you’ve got a million other things that
are holding you down but boy if you’re
lucky enough to be graduating today with
not a fucking idea of what you’re going
to do with your future nobody’s ever
been luckier than you please recognize
it
it’s a battleground
[Music]
the fight is in your mind
and what a time now for us to take this
dream and not let it die
take this dream and give it life take
this dream and breathe into it your own
personal spirit until finally it becomes
a flame that burns around
[Music]
his energy happen
yes I want to make sure we maximize that
happened
every one of you in this room is a
person of influence some of you don’t
look at it that way some of you do some
of your identity you’re a leader but how
many consider yourself to be a leader of
something what does the leader do what
makes you a leader gets results how do
they do it they maximize resources and
the greatest leaders in the world I’ve
always thought a way to maximize better
than anyone else
[Music]
[Music]
and if they looked at Richard Branson
Jesus ugly today as when he was 16 years
old
we’re getting a crib come up as I get
over to clunker is incredible energy is
incredible
[Music]
for me also address the question what
makes people
who here in this world as it was failed
to achieve what you really want was a
goal a dream anxiety they asked Sam
Walton in the 1974 had 78 stores they
all said in that year sell sell Walmart
in 1974 lead sources he has no more
resources no more cash he has no more
capability
no-one’s gonna walk this anywhere else
where is Walmart today ladies and
gentlemen how many stores throw out
there it’s the dominant player on the
face of the earth today got 11,000
stores and half a trillion in sale
[Music]
Tinh take action got distracted
zere come on what else
didn’t have the right people
[Music]
tomorrow else 10 down the money didn’t
ever capital
Danette the technology did near the club
to exporter
[Music]
making excuses which all this is
or I look at how to create answers I
don’t look for the excuses I look for
what can be done we’re living in a time
where people don’t know what to think
next where the economy around the world
has been inflated not with dollars or
money we don’t even trend it anymore we
couldn’t afford to we put ones and
zeroes and computers you know your worst
experience a wife can become your best
if you decide to use it
ask this question is how many you’ve
ever failed not one hand without I said
I know you’re out there I can hear you
breathing
I said how he failed and now after he
raised their hand and I said when you
failed why’d you fail and I heard some
of the same things I heard here over the
things people said didn’t have enough
time didn’t have enough kappa didn’t
have the right technology didn’t have
the right contacts but I didn’t have the
right people didn’t have all these
things and in the voice in the darkness
this very dark room harvest voice say
when you told me all the reasons why you
failed you told me resources you were
lacking courage is resource right type
is a resource money as a resource people
are resource technologies resource the
hidden challenge resources are never the
real problem we all know it if we look
around think about you get the resources
if you’re resourceful and
[Music]
resources are not the geology’s
resourcefulness
what does it feel really missing
[Music]
is some form of
that we’ve worried about you wrestle
estimate technology differences
see if you’re creative enough when you
get the answer yes or no yes or no the
creativity is
if you care deeply enough further people
can get people to help you yes or no are
the answers there if you’re resourceful
enough yes or no
and in fact whatever you see people of
business that failed it will always tell
you they’re missing resources
when they really just weren’t
resourceful enough
[Music]
none of the people I interview were from
the lucky sperm Club
they all built it from scratch these
people just took no excuses they knew
they could get the resources if they
resource enough
[Music]
so what are the ultimate resources
[Music]
creativity joy love determination
flexibility with those things there’s
nothing we can’t get
don’t tell me you don’t have the
resources if you don’t it’s because
you’re low-energy it’s because you’re so
freakin smart you’re in your own way
[Music]
stay in your head you’re dead it’s the
heart where you’ll find the breakthrough
[Music]
there is no limit the only limit to our
impact is our creativity and caring if
your care enough and you’re creative
enough there is no limit
but most of us allow our mind to get it
away we had caught up but the point is
its resources
[Music]
but if you do what no one else does you
have a gigantic advantage
[Music]
stop thinking about the score of the
game and focus on one thing you can
control how much you give every moment
you’re on that Court
[Music]
he said there gonna be days when you win
and when you lose but the only days
you’re gonna know when you’re lose are
gonna be by your measurement of yourself
[Music]
if every single moment you’re on that
core you’re engaged at level 10 or above
if such a thing were to exist and you
gave every ounce of yourself every
minute on the court then it doesn’t
matter what the score is you want
could you became more and you gave more
and in life we don’t get to keep
anything except what we give because
that’s what makes us become something
different
listen if you lose your hunger if you’re
willing to settle for less than you
candy or do or create or share then
you’re selling yourself short and you’re
gonna make your life have-nots the juice
it deserves
who’s with me here say aye
I knew I wanted to be something and it
was important to me to be something that
was it was important to me that I didn’t
fail but by the way and if I did fail at
least that what was also important was a
lesson and I didn’t realize that until I
got older because you know when you’re
in it you’re in the grind you don’t
really recognize those things when
you’re younger but I could recognize
them now and the importance of them now
and just in terms of the drive and the
determination a lot of it was experience
to get your ass kicked
get back up and you put the gloves back
on and you swing away
[Music]
are you surprised by your success at all
I don’t want to say I am because then I
think that means you’re doing something
for for a lesser benefit you know I
think you’d do anything to maximize your
potential in whatever realm you put
yourself in with entertainment there’s
so many doors that you can go through I
mean you’re literally looking at 15 to
20 doors
I saw myself going in the direction
where I would be able to make people
smile and instead of comedy is one thing
that I knew that would be able to put me
in that position
I wanted to entertain I did when I was 8
years old I thought I was a combination
of these guys I thought I was a
combination of Chuck Norris Richard
Pryor Harrison Ford and Rocky Balboa and
Harrison Ford from Indiana Jones I was
like all these guys in my Owen Elvis
Presley – Nate right lofty ambitious
exactly so I knew at that time when I
was eight I wanted to be an entertainer
and I love the idea of that and what it
meant and when I was eight I saw Indiana
Jones for the first time and I loved
that character like wow that guy was so
heroic and he kicked ass
[Music]
[Music]
everybody’s successfully as a blueprint
our you laid a blueprint out you know I
can go down a list from comedians to
actors to entrepreneurs to self-made
moguls you look at Russell Simmons you
look at jay-z you look at Tyler Perry
you look at puff I mean you’re looking
at people that start off with a small
vision my vision manifested in something
beyond expectation so what I did was
from the people around me my mentor is
Eddie Murphy Chris Rock Crider where I
surround myself with a constant reminder
of who is great constantly I come down
these steps every day I look at Richard
oh he’s great I see Eddie he was great I
see Chris Rock he was great it’s a
constant reminder what am I trying to
achieve I want to be great so that
motivates me
so what separates me is my drive my
drive there’s other people’s success
[Music]
but the goal is to become a better actor
and so for me in order for me to do that
I had to work in all different genres so
I wanted to explore family movies
comedies action comedies family comedies
mix drama into as well so that was
important to me which is to get better
[Music]
life is too short and I feel like
everyone needs to read love and laugh
and understand like you know you’re
constantly evolving
there’s a constant changing thing
they’re constantly putting new putting
people in position where they can get
better and do better
we’re doing a lot better a lot better
you’re gonna have bumps in the road you
wanna have things that happen that make
you have a hiccup and ain’t question are
we doing that but that’s like that’s the
course of life but you know I’m I’m a
I’m a positive person I’m a realistic
and positive person so I see where we
are I’m happy where we are and I know we
can be five or ten years they can
continue to get better
[Music]
[Music]
super early generally I have this thing
where I like leaving the Sun up not just
in terms of what Sun coming I have to
get up and how do I do it it’s just
important to find balance and I try and
do things really that I’ve really
enjoyed doing and a lot of times you
know it’s like in life right life brings
like drama and you got to deal with this
person and they think your relationship
here do all these things you try and
just kind of balance them out as best I
can I got a great team around me by the
way who really really helps me well and
helps me allows for me to come in and
work 12 hours a day 14 hours a day get
up at 3 o’clock in the morning
[Music]
me you know what I believe hard work
pays off you know when you say it’s been
a it’s been my year and it’s it’s my
time you know Hollywood has a way of
making everything seem like overnight
success oh my god where’d this guy come
from oh this kid who is he look yeah
it’s a massive star right 18 years in
the business you know 10,000 hour I
could it I put in my time you know I got
I got dues that that have been paid and
paid again and paid one more time after
day
I stayed shooting my dreams and by doing
that eventually they came true
[Music]
[Music]
I’m not cocky I’m so confident I’m
confident Who I am
I’m confident the person that I am I
just don’t believe I don’t believe in
change I don’t believe in doing things
to to manufacture my body to appeal to
what I think people might like this is
is this this is this is what I was given
there’s my playing cards we playing
poker I got to make this hand work yeah
this is it for me
and this is what I’m gonna write it up
so how do you not embrace it get one
like yeah one be in one life
[Music]
yes I get up at crazy hours whether it’s
three o’clock in the morning by the way
when we’re talking in London I was
getting up at 3:00 if I had to be on set
by 4:00 I’m sorry by 7:00 so whatever
time my call time is I tell this to
studios and directors and the producers
whatever told my call time so my call
time is at 7:00 then you back your clock
up for hours and then that’s when I get
up and train twice a cardio and then
breakfast and I’ll go hit the weights
clanging and banging we call it jack and
iron
I come from a heavy place even in my
place was dark I’m happy yeah I’m happy
simply because I have no reason to be
angry life is too short to be able so
the things that I do feel a certain type
of way about it I may get upset about I
let it out I get out on stage and I
lower the pew pew judging and laugh at
and the reason why you’re laughing is
because I’m being honest
[Music]
[Applause]
I keep I can’t express how happy of a
person I am can’t express how inspiring
and I guess you’d say motivating my life
and the people around me are I don’t
care how bad how severe it is after it’s
happened I guarantee you’ll laugh
it was a young man who you know he
wanted to make a lot of money and so he
went to this guru right you come to guru
you know I want to be on the same level
you are and so the Guru said if you want
to be on the same level I’m all I’ll
meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4 a.m.
[Music]
everybody wants to be a beast and two
it’s time to do what real bees do
everybody gets excited he teed a guru
story but nobody wants to get up at
three o’clock
[Music]
he liked the beach I said I wanna make
money I don’t want to swim who said if
you want to make money I’ll meet you
tomorrow
4:00 a.m. so the young man got there
4:00 a.m. he all ready to rock and roll
got on the suit he should have wore
shorts old man grabs his hand said how
bad you want to be successful he said
real bad he said walk on out in the
water and everybody wants to be a beast
to his time to do it real beast do
so he walks out into the woman watch
this when he walks out to the ward it
goes waist deep so he said come on a
little further walk that look further
then he had it right around in this area
just over the area so its own crazy
making money but he crazy said come on
how to look far they can’t my little
farther it was right at his mouth my man
like I’m about to go back into this guy
his mind so old man I thought you said
you wanted to be successful he said I do
he said walk a little fun he can’t drop
his head held him down hold him down
my man getting scratching hauling him
down he had him held down just before my
man was about to pass out he raised him
up
[Music]
you can’t you can’t just say you want it
you can’t watch the video and say I
wasn’t as bad as I want to breathe its
to to say it but when it’s Showtime when
the Sun comes up when the Sun comes up
you’ve got all the books you’ve got all
the tapes you’ve got all the access now
it’s time to hunt and what separates you
from everybody else is that when it’s
time to hunt your radar hunts you may be
watching this right now
and you have these incredible ideas and
what you think is missing is motivation
and that’s not true because the way that
our minds are wired and the fact about
human beings is that we are not designed
to do things that are uncomfortable or
scary or difficult our brains are
designed to protect us from those things
because our brains are trying to keep us
alive and in order to change in order to
build a business and in order to be the
best parent the best spouse to do all
those things that you know you want to
do with your life with your work with
your dreams you’re gonna have to do
things that are difficult uncertain or
scary which sets up this problem for all
of us
you’re never gonna feel like it
motivations garbage you only feel No
to do the things that are easy
whether it’s hard or easy doesn’t matter
you’re doing this
he said when you were underwater what
did you want to do the only thing you
trying to do is get some air you don’t
care about no basketball game you don’t
care what’s on TV you don’t care about
nobody calling you you don’t care about
a party the only thing you care about
when you’re trying to breathe is to get
some fresh air that’s it and when you
get to the point where all you want to
do is be successful as bad as you want
to breathe then you’ll be successful
I know you feel
go to bed last night all these ideas by
your going up this morning and the
different things gonna be different
failure to start
taking steps some of those projects you
know get you closer to living that dream
like you keep playing over and over in
your head
[Music]
everybody wants to be a beast it was
time to do real please do
most of you say you want to be
successful but you don’t want it bad you
just kind of want it you don’t want it
badder than you want a party you don’t
know what it as much as you want to be
cool you bustard you don’t want success
as much as you want to sleep
[Music]
train hard when no one’s in the room
when you’re having a bad day through
death through hardship through anything
that can go wrong
therapy days I would train by myself or
with my fiance Cherie and I would be in
there dying
I mean are dying looking at those
pictures in the gym of Schwarzenegger
with Coleman
love Haney of torreón of everybody and
I would just tell myself just give it
everything you got so you can play
yourself in the best position to win and
that’s all we can do in life people
sometimes life is gonna serve it up some
curveballs but I challenge each and
every one of you to step in that
batter’s box and take a damn swing just
take a swing
[Music]
I’ve had one trainer one I did my first
pro show in 2006 at the Colorado probe
we did the New York pro after that and
we won both of them and a lot of people
thought you know what this guy is gonna
be something and on the boys told me
fill depth understand something it’s a
marathon not a sprint and the
measurement of a man is when he gets
knocked down not when he’s winning so I
lost a few times and he always reminded
me of just to keep on going and be the
hardest worker in the room just like
what you say and when people tell you
you can’t you don’t look at them you
don’t need to look at them you look in
the mirror and you ask yourself you ask
your girlfriend or whatever it is you
ask yourself you have the guts to go
after it when no one is watching no
one’s pat you on the back and no one is
liking your stuff on frickin social
media if you got the guts to go after it
you can put yourself as best position to
win that’s what I did for this entire
prep it was not easy
I put that god-given talent to work each
every damn day
[Music]
and I’m so thankful I’m so thankful for
the Olympia I’m so thankful to be a
bodybuilder because it wasn’t meant for
me to play basketball I mean look at me
on the short as hell you know it doesn’t
work out like that God had a different
plan obviously and I’m glad that I
listened and I’m glad that I never gave
up and I know there’s a lot of
incredible athletes wanting to kick my
ass next year but I know this winning
has habitual
if you care about your success more than
anyone else in the room I promise you
this you will be successful at some
point in time but the goal is is that
when you are successful that you don’t
just hide it for yourself you don’t just
hold it for you so you share those
experiences and perspectives with
everybody else so then making it so then
they can feel the confidence to go after
their dreams and I’m just proud to be a
seven-time mr. Olympia
and like the and like the great oak said
next year I’ll be back and I’m here to
tell you number one that most of you say
you want to be successful but you don’t
want it bad you just kind of want it you
don’t want it badder than you want a
party you don’t want it as much as you
want to be cool you most of you don’t
want success as much as you want to
sleep something you love sleep more than
you love success and I’m here to tell
you today if you’re going to be
successful you’ve got to be willing to
give up sleep you got to be willing to
work off for three hours of sleep two
hours if you really want to be
successful some days you will have to
stay up three days in a row because if
you go to sleep you might miss the
opportunity to be successful that’s how
bad you gotta want it you got to go days
not listen to me you’ve got to want to
be successful so bad that you forget to
eat be honest I said once she was on the
set doing her thing three days had gone
by she forgot she didn’t eat because she
was engaged
[Music]
50 said that when he wasn’t doing the
movie he was doing the soundtrack and
they said when do you sleep fifty sleep
he said sleep sleep is for those people
who are broke I’ll sleep there is
something better for you to do with your
time than even being here right now I am
mr. resistance I’m distracting you from
doing the work you need to do
[Music]
[Music]
begin each day as if it were on purpose
[Music]
[Music]
she said to me once I wish you would
just kill yourself you’re such a burden
to me I think I was 9 when my mom drove
me down to the deepest part of Baja
California and she walks me up to an
orphanage and she knocks on the door and
the guy comes to the door and she says I
found this kid and she left me there for
90 days until my grandmother to get out
of her where she had ducked to me and my
grandmother came and rescued me my mom
beat me every single day of my
elementary school years would think you
could imagine and a lot of things you
couldn’t every day my back was bloodied
and scarred
[Music]
I had to wear three t-shirts to school
each day first t-shirt because the blood
would seep through and second t-shirt
you can still see it finally the third
t-shirt you couldn’t see any blood
kids at school they make fun of me a
fool it’s a hundred degrees why are you
wearing three t-shirts and then he
stopped speaking so overwhelmed with
emotion and he seemed to be staring at a
piece of his story that only he could
see when he could regain his speech she
said through his tears I wore three
t-shirts well into my adult years
because I was ashamed of my wounds I
didn’t want anybody to see him but now I
welcome my wounds I run my fingers over
my scars my wolves are my friends after
all
how can I help heal the wounded if I
don’t welcome my own wills
the measure of our compassion lies not
in our service of those on the margins
but only in our willingness to see
ourselves in kinship
[Music]
[Music]
you have to be the hero of your own
story and you can do that
90% of his just showing up get there and
start working like you’re not gonna feel
perfect every day
there’s got to be those days you push
through and there they’re probably gonna
be more numerous than the days you don’t
and so the benefit of discipline in my
eyes has always been that through
discipline I get things done write down
everything you want to do this is what I
want you to do write down what you would
like to fix about your life and then
just if you’re 30 pounds overweight you
want to lose 30 pounds do it the right
way go start eating vegetables monitor
your calories write down what you eat
exercise every day force yourself to do
it the brain is the general the troops
of the body and you get up and you do it
and then you get to write it down our
bodies for whatever reason most people
their associations are to avoid anything
that’s uncomfortable
[Music]
it’s so illogical because when you look
at comfort and you look at success and
progress and then eventual the feelings
of accomplishment and of getting past
certain hurdles and in terms of like how
you feel about life a lot of those are
connected to discomfort like discomfort
is your friend it really it a discomfort
and and not being happy and content with
certain situations in life or certain
feelings in life one of the big problems
is sitting down and doing the work and
he labels it like an enemy calls it
resistance you know and that you have to
sit down you have to overcome resistance
and that the pro goes to work and it
doesn’t matter if you’re sick doesn’t
matter if you have kids it doesn’t
matter what you you’re a pro and you go
to work and that and that just it puts
it in your head that this is what I do
you have pride in that and then when you
are in front of that keyboard and you’re
you got you look down the count it’s set
for 2017 when you know you should write
or you know you should paint or whatever
uses sculpt whatever these things are
you pursue and that there’s this thing
that comes up that tries to keep you
from doing that
this resistance
[Music]
you’re not a hero in your own eyes
you’re not you’re not someone who you
respect you know you’re doing what you
got to do to get by but ultimately
you’re not respecting yourself and I
think we all have a certain amount of
appreciation and respect for hero
figures you know like we all look at
like the guy who never lies and always
does the right thing and fucking helps
everybody out and that’s the John Wayne
character you know that’s that’s the
ultimate hero and he’s like this is a
battle that you will fight for the rest
of your life but the key is to fight it
not to give in don’t give in to that
resistance to fight just to fight that
resistance and in doing so every day you
do so you have won the battle for that
day and you will continue to fight that
battle and when you look at your own
life and you don’t stack up you’re a
thief you stole money from your wife’s
purse and you know you don’t want to
smoke cigarettes but you fucking have to
you can’t deal with the stress and smoke
you devalue yourself you slowly start
devaluing yourself you look at yourself
you realize that if you were judging
yourself you would judge yourself
unfavorably so no matter who you you
can’t pretend you’re the hero of your
story
you can be the hero of your own story
that woke up today you could be the hero
of your own story that at forty years of
age stopped got out of bed and said I’m
not doing this anymore
only by my instincts and only by my
morals and my ideals and my mind and I’m
gonna be dead honest with myself because
I’m realizing this is not gonna last
forever and I’m gonna get myself in
shape but I’m gonna eat healthy and I’m
gonna do this because this is me this is
me now
[Music]
I decided this is me
[Music]
and people have to realize that you are
not your past you are not all the times
you fucked up but not all the times you
were drunk
that’s not you what you you are the
person who’s learned from a great deal
of experience when you’re alone with
your thoughts you get an idea of what
your thoughts actually are you live your
life just acting constantly on the
momentum of other people’s expectations
of you wanting to be liked by these
other people you can run into a trap and
you you you set up a life that you
didn’t really want your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
certainly some sort of a journey you’re
trapped in this situation where you have
a mortgage
you’ve got credit card bills you’ve got
student loans you have to pay you have a
bunch of shit going on you have to
continue to feed and all that and
especially if you have a family and you
have to feed them oh my goodness
then you’re fully locked in you can’t
take any chances whatsoever and
oftentimes people make the mistake of
getting stuck and it is just a tactical
mistake just like it would be a mistake
if you got stuck on a video game just
like it would be a mistake if you
followed a map incorrectly and you get
stuck in the woods your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
certainly some sort of a journey and we
have to all be aware that when we’re
making journeys we’re not going to
always make the right steps and
sometimes you have to back up and try
again and if you’re in a position where
you can’t back up and try again you’ve
trapped yourself
as people define themselves by the past
instead of thinking about who they are
now instead of eight they still look
back at a mistake they made and don’t
just get past that mistake grow and
learn
but dwell on it think it defines them
I mean there’s definitely pitfalls in
life you’re gonna run into him we all
are no you didn’t learn and grow if you
survive somewhere along the line they
didn’t face enough of the adversity to
realize that there’s sometimes you just
got to get up and get shit done there’s
sometimes we have to fucking pull
yourself up and you have to push forward
even if you want to stay in bed having
that safety net just provided him with a
way to stay in bed kept him weak
have an opportunity every time things go
wrong every time things feel terrible
you have an opportunity to learn from
whatever makes you feel terrible and
never allow it to happen again
push forward the system will set out
honey pots for people to get trapped in
the system will set out the ideas of
retirement the ideas of the golden years
providing you benefits providing you a
healthy work environment why well
because they want people to work for
them they don’t want people to realize
their own dreams and escape they want to
set it up so that you stick around stick
around some sort of an unsatisfying
world it’s up to you to see that video
game problem to see that issue as it
comes up on the map known I think this
is a right turn to see all the problems
that could potentially lay in front of
you and calculate your your future and
then also look around all the people
that didn’t do it and look at the misery
that they’re in and learn that you don’t
want to be like them
and most people get stuck in these
patterns or they define themselves on
the pursue doesn’t follow through on
their ideas or a person who doesn’t
pursue the real interests in loves you
define yourself by that well you know I
guess when I start things and I quit no
you don’t know you have started things
and you quit and it gives you a horrible
sense of regret that’s made you define
yourself by that you don’t have to do
that I look back on anything I’ve ever
done mistakes ever made a pass that I
you know what something I put out that I
didn’t quite yeah maybe I waited three
months before I released that or maybe I
should have you know re-edited that blog
post a couple more times for I put it
online or things that I’ve done have
driven me crazy but yelling at someone I
didn’t have to yell at them for whatever
but the most important thing is always
for all people to recognize it you’re
not who you were a year ago you’re not
who you were five years ago you’re not
who you were last week so you gotta
regulate how much you dwell on regrets
of the past you really got to be careful
it’s also directly proportionate to the
amount of hardships that people face in
life their ability to face hardships you
know and there’s a lot of folks that
live life on a cushy cloud of
marshmallows and bullshit and then one
day something goes wrong and then look
at the people that are have kind of
taken chances and navigated their way
what did they do differently
[Music]
what insight into their own mistakes are
they willing to delve into that you’re
not that you step back and go you know I
don’ts don’t I just don’t want to look
at myself that closely but the person
who’s able to look at themselves the
closest is gonna get the more rational
results a closed mindedness that amounts
to an imprisonment so total that the
prisoner doesn’t even know he’s locked
up
the most powerful tool that you have
right now in your life in your body is
your mind
give me a new perspective give me a new
way of looking at my situation give me a
new way of looking at my circumstances
get my mind ready for this year
you can’t please everybody but they’re
people who have the fear of rocking the
boat oh yes it’s gonna be some struggles
it’s gonna be some challenges it’s gonna
be some tests but even the struggles are
an opportunity for me to show off the
victory if my mind can handle the change
[Music]
the life is too short for that too short
and unpredictable moseying through
not trying to disturb anything not
trying to shake anything up not trying
to make any waves unless yoga that never
going to be I can’t get any younger
I can’t roll the clock back
[Music]
you are wasting time you have to let the
past go and step open to the future
when you set goals when you have an
intention on something that you want to
change about your life your brain helps
you what it does is it opens up a
checklist and then your brain goes to
work trying to remind you it was cold it
was winter in Boston and for the first
time in three months I had beaten my
habit of hitting the snooze button
[Music]
and it’s really important to develop the
skill before you are boxed in very
decide that you’re gonna box and bury
your fears decide that you’re going to
begin to live life on a new level
seeking out new horizons that you’re
gonna find more love and more joy and
more ways to give I wanted to change my
life and I think most people that are
miserable or that are that are really
like dying to be great and dying to have
work we want to change we want to live a
better life we want to create more for
our families we want to be happy the the
desire is there again it’s about how do
you go from knowledge to action
so the first thing in the story that’s
important is realizing that the answer
was in me and my mind was telling me pay
attention
[Music]
so when you begin to say what is it that
I want to leave what contribution that I
want to begin to make what difference do
I want to make in life what is it that I
want to do with the rest of the life
that I have left what what chances I
need to take what risks do I need to
begin to embrace what fears do I need to
step on what areas of my life of my dad
right now what dream you can even live
your dreams or live your fears you have
got to get to a point where you say I’m
sick and tired of living like this
there’s got to be more
let’s see that’s when people go out and
strike out on their dreams how you going
to make it I don’t know but I will I’m
gonna keep on kicking I’m gonna cut them
off this never give up warriors no
matter how many years you’ve lived up
till now no matter how many years you
have yet to live no matter how many
fuck-ups you’ve made in your life in the
time you’ve had on this planet no matter
how much in that time you fucking waste
it over and over and over right now is
the moment you have
that’s all you’ve got right now as
you’re watching me you should be here
now where are you where are you right
now because most people can’t
concentrate on anything longer than 30
fucking seconds and I hope I hope I hope
you can be honest with me and tell me
that you’re looking right at me right
now you realize that I’m give you my
total undivided attention because I want
your mindset about yourself and about
the world at large to change right
fucking now we’re going to start with
two things most people will say about
virtues virtues being those things that
you put in action that leads to positive
good consequences vices being those
things you do that lead to bad and
negative consequences most people will
say about virtues that the most
important virtue to have is courage that
all the other virtues will follow from
courage or the most important virtue is
integrity honesty or perseverance
whichever one they choose is the most
important one they say that’s the first
one you do that when you practice that
when you put that one in action all the
other ones will follow I disagree the
most important virtue that you need to
have a play that you need to have buried
deep inside of you and it needs to be
operating in its optimal levels all the
time 24/7 is your belief your belief in
yourself because if you don’t believe
first that who you are this being that
you are this human being you are your
life here on this planet is of value is
of a value in and of itself worth
something then those other virtues won’t
mean anything to you at all they won’t
have any worthiness to you at all even
if you happen to stumble by mistake or
by accident across putting them to the
action once in a while the first thing
the first virtue you need to have
operating and a hundred percent is your
belief in yourself belief not in who you
are but in what you are what the fuck
are you
you’re an animal you’re an animal is
created by a fucking creator and you
have a unique set of skills and tools
and Billings and powers that makes you
more powerful than any other creation or
being or animal on this fucking planet
you have your mind your mind gives you a
greater power than any other animal has
been fucking created and your potential
in life lies there it begins and fucking
ends there what you will do in your life
where you will go in your life is how
much you believe in the power of this
fucking thing here there are no limits
on what you can learn and no with your
mind and what you can achieve how far
you can push it what kinds of demands
can be placed on it what kind of
challenges you can rise up to if you
will only engage the power of your mind
and you have to believe that first and
foremost because when you do that then
this potential for greatness you have
inside of you is undeniable you won’t
ever question you won’t ever have any
doubts about it and you will know that
the potential for this greatness is
totally absolutely fucking unlimited and
every fucking way this is what makes it
happen all you fucking guys out there
that are stronger than Erb are loaded
with weight pushing for those PRS every
day and I know that you come here
because you I think my injection videos
me on here on the video jacked you up to
get in there and do that business but it
isn’t just about making PRS in the
waiting room it’s about living a fucking
strong life and you start with power and
self belief and that you are a unique
fucking individual this thumbprint makes
you different from the other six billion
people on this planet and it fucking
stands for something
it’s not for nothing
and you need to believe that every
fuckin cell or your body needs to
believe that that you are one-of-a-kind
that you are a fucking the rajul and
that you will not apologize for it at
all and that’s the second thing I want
to talk about today The Lying stops now
the lying fucking stops right now the
lying you do to yourself every fucking
day when you push back against the
fucking greatness that wants to come out
of you from now on you do not give the
benefit of the doubt to the rest of the
fucking world and all the other people
in this planet you take your head out of
the fucking world’s ass you start
thinking for yourself and you realize
that not everybody on this planet wants
to be a fucking leader not everybody on
this planet wants to do something great
in their lives like you feel that voice
inside of you
urging you on to do no you stop you
don’t apologize anymore for this fucking
greatness that lies on you and this
desire you have to want to bring it
alive no more no more at all the world
needs fucking leaders and it needs you
and that’s why you’re here that’s why
you stepped up to the fucking edge of
the cliff you weren’t fucking afraid and
you’re jumping off in freefall but down
a parachute and you’re gonna figure
fucking things out on the way down
that’s what we’re gonna do here at War
University from here on out you stop
lying to yourself you stop allowing
yourself to get by on the fucking weak
willed weak body weak minded thoughts
that are always there pushing the step
forward step out in front of the fucking
great ones and the bold ones and the
brave ones
bold is genius you came here to be
genius then this point forward here were
University here take that fuckin genius
inside of you and show off to the rest
I’m the warrior man
always believe you’ve just seen some
pictures of Macintosh now I’d like to
show you Macintosh in person all of the
images you are about to see on the large
screen will be generated by what’s in
that bag
a lot of people come to me they say well
I want to be an entrepreneur and I go
that’s great what’s your idea and they
go well I don’t have one yet and I say
well I think you should go get a job as
a busboy or something until you find
something you’re really passionate about
because it’s a lot of work and I’m
convinced that about half of what
separates the successful entrepreneurs
from the non successful ones is pure
perseverance it is so hard you pour so
much your life into this thing there are
such rough moments in time that most
people give up I don’t blame them it’s
really tough and it consumes your life I
mean if you’re if you’ve got a family
and you’re in the early days of a
company it’s I can’t imagine how one
could do it I’m sure it’s it’s been done
but it’s rough I mean because it’s a
pretty much a you know an 18 hour day
job seven days a week for a while so
unless you have a lot of passion about
this you’re gonna not survive you’re
gonna give it up so you’ve got to have
an idea or a problem or a wrong that you
want to write that you’re passionate
about otherwise you’re not going to have
the perseverance to stick it through and
I think that’s half the battle right
there
and so things were kind of slipping
backwards and McIntosh was you saw the
1984 commercial put that I hope you have
that in your archives you know Macintosh
was basically this this relatively small
company you know in Cupertino California
taking on the Goliath IBM and saying
wait a minute your way is wrong this is
not the way we want computers to go this
is not the legacy we want to leave this
is not what we want our kids to be
learning this is wrong and we are going
to show you the right way to do it and
here it is it’s called Macintosh and
this is so much better than its gonna
beat you and we are gonna do it and
that’s what Apple stood for
[Music]
a lot of forces in life that tend to
tend to funnel us down into this
institutionalize man
and where people you know
where people sometimes forget that that
they’re very unique and that they have
very unique feelings and perspectives
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Applause]
so it’s early Monday morning and I’ve
been wanting to make a Monday morning
video for a long time but finally d-roc
we’re doing it so real quick this is
just a rant very simple and something
that I want you to pass on or watch
every Monday morning because the level
of complaining is unacceptable look what
if I told you this was the last Monday
morning of your life what if I told you
you died this week would you complain
about your crap job or that test you
don’t want to take I doubt it
you would go much higher level thinking
well that’s really what it takes it
takes understanding that if you’re not
pumped right now if you’re begrudging
what you’re about to do it here if
you’re not looking forward to it look I
respect practicality you got to go
through school cuz your parents want to
you got to pay your rent you got student
loans I get it but please recognize the
world we’re living in we’re living in a
world where there’s so much more
opportunity this internet thing created
way more opportunity for all of us way
more I mean look you only might even be
alive like your mom and dad could have
had sex like three minutes later and you
wouldn’t even exist and you’re
complaining you could have ended up
being a bus agree I just don’t get the
mentality of being head down sad on a
Monday morning I’m gonna make Monday
morning my bitch I’m gonna make you
Saturday Monday morning that’s what I
want to do every morning and that’s what
I want from you please take a step back
and think about how awesome it actually
is and then recognize that you can
attack the world in a totally different
way because you were lucky enough to be
born during this era
[Music]
then take care about everything and it
starts with yourself look yourself in
the mirror and ask yourself what do I
want to do every day for the rest of my
life do that it’s coming stop crying and
just keep hustling so many of you that
actually want this have the skills to do
this right and sometimes once in a while
just need to see a different version of
it to understand ah right ah to me this
is an AA video right did you mail it in
did you mail in that 15 minute 15 minute
call got cancelled you had a packed day
15 hour day they got canceled what are
you in that 15 minutes
by the way sometimes those 15 minutes
are absolutely worth calling your mom
calling your daughter FaceTime with your
kids every minute has to count every
minute past account if you want so much
because you just don’t have as many of
them as you think you just don’t and you
need to start creating layers and layers
and layers and layers of skin to be able
to get through because the glamour of
being an entrepreneur the goodness you
know you get very confused by my
optimism because it’s my optimism I
can’t help it it’s just how I roll it’s
probably one of the variable 1% reasons
why I’m successful but please don’t get
it twisted
this is hard every day is hard and if
you don’t have the stomach to weather
the storm you will not be successful
I’m scared that you don’t realize that
you’re entering the greatest five year
window of your life if you are
twenty-two years old and graduating from
college shit if you’re 22 years old and
not graduating from college if you are
twenty-two years old you are entering
first of all some of the greatest years
of your life a but be this this is the
moment watch this video twice if mama’s
watching this send this to your daughter
Sally right now because you have to
understand this next five year window is
when you don’t go practical and safe
this is not the time to get the job mom
wanted you to this is not the time to
try to maximize as much money so you can
buy a fat whip this is the time to
realize that you’ve a five year window
and it’s three for some it’s eight for
others but there’s a five year window
for you to attack the life that you want
to win not because it’s the secret or
cuz the world so Zen because it’s
fucking hard as shit out there as a
matter of fact I’m probably more scared
about your naivete to how hard class is
easy right what you’ve been doing for
the last 16 years is easy it’s a fucking
bullshit game it’s structured it’s easy
the world this thing this thing is hard
however that contradicts what I’m gonna
tell you right now which is this is the
best and easiest five years of your life
because this is when you need to attack
what you love and what you want to do
here’s why you don’t have all the
baggage you may have college loans
respect it’s hard as shit you may have
the expectations of your parents
mentally hard fake hard you may have a
lot of other things but this is exactly
when you can live with four roommates in
a basement and eat fucking fast food do
you understand this is not when the
babies they’re some of your babies this
is not when you’ve been married and you
promised this is not when the world has
sucked out all your dreams and hopes yet
you still got this window and yet so
many of you are so hungry for short-term
short-term games like maximizing the job
that paid you $3,000 more but it’s not
as fun but you want that three
thousand dollars for what for what for a
new iPhone for what you get to live life
one time and this is the time right now
to understand what’s actually happening
and actually map your behavior to
something that will impact you for the
next 80 years so promise me promise me
all you youngsters that are watching
this right now in the fucking comments
because I’ll jump in and talk to you
promise me that you understand that the
land grab of happiness starts right now
that you don’t have to worry about
getting that job what you should do is
go and travel and learn go and start
that business that you’ve always wanted
hook up with those three teammates and
start that band you’ve always wanted
this is the time to be massively risk
massively risk oriented I know that this
is when you’re supposed to grow up and
go see the world but guess what the
world isn’t what mommy and daddy told
you the world is exactly going to be
what its going to be with or without the
way you thought it was going to be a ton
of shit is gonna change the world
changes every goddamn day right now what
you need to recognize is you can afford
to and not all of you I’m sure somebody
will leave a comment say I’ve got a loan
I get it respect but that loan is gonna
be there whether you go and try to build
something for yourself or not one way or
the other and by the way you can work at
night this is when you put in the 18
hours a day to make your life thing you
want happen and again because I’m scared
I can see myself fucking talking I’m not
saying it’s the secret it’s practicality
when you’re in your early 20s this is
when you can grind at your highest
levels cuz there isn’t all the fucking
baggage that comes across through life
it’s harder for the 42 year olds that
are watching right now to listen to this
advice
you can’t just wake up to her and be
like let’s go because little Sally has
soccer fucking practice and because
you’ve got a million other things that
are holding you down but boy if you’re
lucky enough to be graduating today with
not a fucking idea of what you’re going
to do with your future nobody’s ever
been luckier than you please recognize
it
it’s a battleground
[Music]
the fight is in your mind
and what a time now for us to take this
dream and not let it die
take this dream and give it life take
this dream and breathe into it your own
personal spirit until finally it becomes
a flame that burns around
[Music]
his energy happen
yes I want to make sure we maximize that
happened
every one of you in this room is a
person of influence some of you don’t
look at it that way some of you do some
of your identity you’re a leader but how
many consider yourself to be a leader of
something what does the leader do what
makes you a leader gets results how do
they do it they maximize resources and
the greatest leaders in the world I’ve
always thought a way to maximize better
than anyone else
[Music]
[Music]
and if they looked at Richard Branson
Jesus ugly today as when he was 16 years
old
we’re getting a crib come up as I get
over to clunker is incredible energy is
incredible
[Music]
for me also address the question what
makes people
who here in this world as it was failed
to achieve what you really want was a
goal a dream anxiety they asked Sam
Walton in the 1974 had 78 stores they
all said in that year sell sell Walmart
in 1974 lead sources he has no more
resources no more cash he has no more
capability
no-one’s gonna walk this anywhere else
where is Walmart today ladies and
gentlemen how many stores throw out
there it’s the dominant player on the
face of the earth today got 11,000
stores and half a trillion in sale
[Music]
Tinh take action got distracted
zere come on what else
didn’t have the right people
[Music]
tomorrow else 10 down the money didn’t
ever capital
Danette the technology did near the club
to exporter
[Music]
making excuses which all this is
or I look at how to create answers I
don’t look for the excuses I look for
what can be done we’re living in a time
where people don’t know what to think
next where the economy around the world
has been inflated not with dollars or
money we don’t even trend it anymore we
couldn’t afford to we put ones and
zeroes and computers you know your worst
experience a wife can become your best
if you decide to use it
ask this question is how many you’ve
ever failed not one hand without I said
I know you’re out there I can hear you
breathing
I said how he failed and now after he
raised their hand and I said when you
failed why’d you fail and I heard some
of the same things I heard here over the
things people said didn’t have enough
time didn’t have enough kappa didn’t
have the right technology didn’t have
the right contacts but I didn’t have the
right people didn’t have all these
things and in the voice in the darkness
this very dark room harvest voice say
when you told me all the reasons why you
failed you told me resources you were
lacking courage is resource right type
is a resource money as a resource people
are resource technologies resource the
hidden challenge resources are never the
real problem we all know it if we look
around think about you get the resources
if you’re resourceful and
[Music]
resources are not the geology’s
resourcefulness
what does it feel really missing
[Music]
is some form of
that we’ve worried about you wrestle
estimate technology differences
see if you’re creative enough when you
get the answer yes or no yes or no the
creativity is
if you care deeply enough further people
can get people to help you yes or no are
the answers there if you’re resourceful
enough yes or no
and in fact whatever you see people of
business that failed it will always tell
you they’re missing resources
when they really just weren’t
resourceful enough
[Music]
none of the people I interview were from
the lucky sperm Club
they all built it from scratch these
people just took no excuses they knew
they could get the resources if they
resource enough
[Music]
so what are the ultimate resources
[Music]
creativity joy love determination
flexibility with those things there’s
nothing we can’t get
don’t tell me you don’t have the
resources if you don’t it’s because
you’re low-energy it’s because you’re so
freakin smart you’re in your own way
[Music]
stay in your head you’re dead it’s the
heart where you’ll find the breakthrough
[Music]
there is no limit the only limit to our
impact is our creativity and caring if
your care enough and you’re creative
enough there is no limit
but most of us allow our mind to get it
away we had caught up but the point is
its resources
[Music]
but if you do what no one else does you
have a gigantic advantage
[Music]
stop thinking about the score of the
game and focus on one thing you can
control how much you give every moment
you’re on that Court
[Music]
he said there gonna be days when you win
and when you lose but the only days
you’re gonna know when you’re lose are
gonna be by your measurement of yourself
[Music]
if every single moment you’re on that
core you’re engaged at level 10 or above
if such a thing were to exist and you
gave every ounce of yourself every
minute on the court then it doesn’t
matter what the score is you want
could you became more and you gave more
and in life we don’t get to keep
anything except what we give because
that’s what makes us become something
different
listen if you lose your hunger if you’re
willing to settle for less than you
candy or do or create or share then
you’re selling yourself short and you’re
gonna make your life have-nots the juice
it deserves
who’s with me here say aye
I knew I wanted to be something and it
was important to me to be something that
was it was important to me that I didn’t
fail but by the way and if I did fail at
least that what was also important was a
lesson and I didn’t realize that until I
got older because you know when you’re
in it you’re in the grind you don’t
really recognize those things when
you’re younger but I could recognize
them now and the importance of them now
and just in terms of the drive and the
determination a lot of it was experience
to get your ass kicked
get back up and you put the gloves back
on and you swing away
[Music]
are you surprised by your success at all
I don’t want to say I am because then I
think that means you’re doing something
for for a lesser benefit you know I
think you’d do anything to maximize your
potential in whatever realm you put
yourself in with entertainment there’s
so many doors that you can go through I
mean you’re literally looking at 15 to
20 doors
I saw myself going in the direction
where I would be able to make people
smile and instead of comedy is one thing
that I knew that would be able to put me
in that position
I wanted to entertain I did when I was 8
years old I thought I was a combination
of these guys I thought I was a
combination of Chuck Norris Richard
Pryor Harrison Ford and Rocky Balboa and
Harrison Ford from Indiana Jones I was
like all these guys in my Owen Elvis
Presley – Nate right lofty ambitious
exactly so I knew at that time when I
was eight I wanted to be an entertainer
and I love the idea of that and what it
meant and when I was eight I saw Indiana
Jones for the first time and I loved
that character like wow that guy was so
heroic and he kicked ass
[Music]
[Music]
everybody’s successfully as a blueprint
our you laid a blueprint out you know I
can go down a list from comedians to
actors to entrepreneurs to self-made
moguls you look at Russell Simmons you
look at jay-z you look at Tyler Perry
you look at puff I mean you’re looking
at people that start off with a small
vision my vision manifested in something
beyond expectation so what I did was
from the people around me my mentor is
Eddie Murphy Chris Rock Crider where I
surround myself with a constant reminder
of who is great constantly I come down
these steps every day I look at Richard
oh he’s great I see Eddie he was great I
see Chris Rock he was great it’s a
constant reminder what am I trying to
achieve I want to be great so that
motivates me
so what separates me is my drive my
drive there’s other people’s success
[Music]
but the goal is to become a better actor
and so for me in order for me to do that
I had to work in all different genres so
I wanted to explore family movies
comedies action comedies family comedies
mix drama into as well so that was
important to me which is to get better
[Music]
life is too short and I feel like
everyone needs to read love and laugh
and understand like you know you’re
constantly evolving
there’s a constant changing thing
they’re constantly putting new putting
people in position where they can get
better and do better
we’re doing a lot better a lot better
you’re gonna have bumps in the road you
wanna have things that happen that make
you have a hiccup and ain’t question are
we doing that but that’s like that’s the
course of life but you know I’m I’m a
I’m a positive person I’m a realistic
and positive person so I see where we
are I’m happy where we are and I know we
can be five or ten years they can
continue to get better
[Music]
[Music]
super early generally I have this thing
where I like leaving the Sun up not just
in terms of what Sun coming I have to
get up and how do I do it it’s just
important to find balance and I try and
do things really that I’ve really
enjoyed doing and a lot of times you
know it’s like in life right life brings
like drama and you got to deal with this
person and they think your relationship
here do all these things you try and
just kind of balance them out as best I
can I got a great team around me by the
way who really really helps me well and
helps me allows for me to come in and
work 12 hours a day 14 hours a day get
up at 3 o’clock in the morning
[Music]
me you know what I believe hard work
pays off you know when you say it’s been
a it’s been my year and it’s it’s my
time you know Hollywood has a way of
making everything seem like overnight
success oh my god where’d this guy come
from oh this kid who is he look yeah
it’s a massive star right 18 years in
the business you know 10,000 hour I
could it I put in my time you know I got
I got dues that that have been paid and
paid again and paid one more time after
day
I stayed shooting my dreams and by doing
that eventually they came true
[Music]
[Music]
I’m not cocky I’m so confident I’m
confident Who I am
I’m confident the person that I am I
just don’t believe I don’t believe in
change I don’t believe in doing things
to to manufacture my body to appeal to
what I think people might like this is
is this this is this is what I was given
there’s my playing cards we playing
poker I got to make this hand work yeah

and this is what I’m gonna write it up
so how do you not embrace it get one
like yeah one be in one life
[Music]
yes I get up at crazy hours whether it’s
three o’clock in the morning by the way
when we’re talking in London I was
getting up at 3:00 if I had to be on set
by 4:00 I’m sorry by 7:00 so whatever
time my call time is I tell this to
studios and directors and the producers
whatever told my call time so my call
time is at 7:00 then you back your clock
up for hours and then that’s when I get
up and train twice a cardio and then
breakfast and I’ll go hit the weights
clanging and banging we call it jack and
iron
I come from a heavy place even in my
place was dark I’m happy yeah I’m happy
simply because I have no reason to be
angry life is too short to be able so
the things that I do feel a certain type
of way about it I may get upset about I
let it out I get out on stage and I
lower the pew pew judging and laugh at
and the reason why you’re laughing is
because I’m being honest
[Music]
[Applause]

person I am can’t express how inspiring
and I guess you’d say motivating my life
and the people around me are I don’t
care how bad how severe it is after it’s
happened I guarantee you’ll laugh
