people let their emotions get the best
of them
the only secret that exists is getting
out of your own way don’t betray
yourself to get somebody’s approval
right don’t be afraid to want success
the results that come out of discipline
I said oh okay let me try something and
I decided to do push-ups didn’t quite
work out the way I wanted it to but I
was doing push those before I went to
sleep and when I woke up and why didn’t
it work out because I didn’t quite do it
every day before I went to sleep and
when I woke up and then not doing it one
day turned up next day and then
procrastinating then it’s been about a
week since I did one and it’s all things
of that nature
however as I did it for a solid week and
a half and I felt a way that I haven’t
in a while before I started working that
quest I was in a real deep dark place
that I had never been before I’m not
gonna get into details of it but it was
a dark place I’ve never been before hard
back to the point when I started doing
the pushes again I started feeling in a
way that I hadn’t felt in years just a
confidence of myself that I haven’t felt
since I was playing basketball since my
goal in life and everything I wanted was
to be in the NBA I just am in a better
place emotionally than I was before a
lot of people don’t believe that because
I’m usually around office smiling
dancing having a good time but there’s
deep stuff going through my head so that
the way I appear on the outside is
smiling all the time is is real but it’s
because I consciously make the decision
not to worry about all the other crap
that might be going on not to worry
about Sally Mae not to worry about I
is calling me not to worry about
anything else that might be going on and
so just even in just out of FOMO fear of
missing out I started to have it and
that habit just sparked smaller things
that are going off in my head I can’t
really express all of them but it’s just
I feel different I feel a lot more
energetic I feel more inspired to do
something I might not know what it is
but it’s something so when I figure out
what that something is I might come talk
to you some more
what habit did you start the push-ups
every night before and after before I
went to bed and when I woke up you’ve
already given up on that so so follow me
on this right because this is what I was
saying at the beginning I’m gonna be
honest with you yeah so you’re adrift at
sea like I see you receding into the
distance right you might be dancing and
smiling but you’re receding into the
distance so the it isn’t a complicated
problem so somehow in your head is a
belief that you’re going through things
other people wouldn’t understand they
don’t go through whatever but none of
those beliefs serve you even if they’re
true which they’re not but even if they
were it doesn’t serve you to feel
overburdened by Sally Mae and the IRS
and all of that right none of that
serves you so you’ve got to turn those
into actionable chunks and this is
people let themselves feel overwhelmed
as if over being feeling overwhelmed
somehow made the problem go away feeling
overwhelmed does exactly one thing it
makes the problem worse that’s it yeah
so feeling overwhelmed is kicked up by
the lizard brain to make sure that you
act it keeps going because you never
take action right so honestly what you
need to do is break your world into
bite-sized pieces that you will enact
now here’s the problem you lie to
yourself so now you’ve got a problem of
you can’t trust yourself so you’ve got
to put yourself in a situation
where you can earn that credibility back
with yourself immediately
I say oftentimes that the body is a
reflection of the mind the only reason
that doing the push-ups everyday is
interesting is because that’s you saying
I said I would do it and therefore I am
going to do it come hell or high water
and every day that I don’t do it I know
that my mind my mind is not where it
needs to be so start small tell yourself
I will do a push-up every night before I
go to bed and I will do a push-up every
morning when I wake up on your knees
fine like it doesn’t have to be like a
full-fledged pushup
but you said you were gonna do and
you’re gonna do it and there’s no
universe in which you don’t do it
there’s a universe where you don’t get
any sleep there’s a universe where the
doctor calls up and says you’re on a
broken arm what are you doing you can’t
do push-ups all of those worlds can
exist but the world that can’t exist
is where you told yourself you would do
it and then you don’t do it that world
my friend is out of the question unless
you want to continue to drift out to sea
now the great news is you have exactly
one enemy that’s it you’ve betrayed
yourself and lost all sense of
confidence and belief in yourself nobody
else this is not Sallie Mae this is not
the IRS this is about Clarence telling
Clarence he’s gonna do stuff and then
Clarence doesn’t do stuff so back it up
because we’ve got to change behaviors
you need to win so you need to pick a
behavior that you know you will stick
with and then cool when you feel like
two push-ups do two when you feel like
five with your knees up do five with the
knees up but don’t say you’re gonna do
five when you know you’re gonna do four
on your knees just say I’m gonna do for
my knees and do four on your knees and
then you know when I say it I do it and
then you will start to get excited to
see I want to push it now I’m actually
interested because you’ve got the cachet
behind you of these wins but when it’s a
failure you teach yourself failures okay
this advice goes to you you guys
failures okay
for you failure is not okay right that’s
precisely what you have to root out of
your life but it comes to making
promises that you’re actually prepared
to keep and then knowing okay cool I
keep my promises once you have that hey
you’ll feel better and we’ll set you on
the right path and you can start making
bigger and bigger
