as Michelangelo said if people knew how
hard I worked to achieve my mastery it
wouldn’t seem so wonderful after all and
that’s the thing about getting great
that’s the thing about being an artist
of such caliber that you’re remembered
for hundreds of years after your death
it is back-breaking work
it is a blinding amount of effort it
isn’t about natural talent that myth
that some people are born with something
that we celebrate so much is just that a
myth you’re born a lump of flesh you
can’t hold your own head of you may have
predispositions but that is a long way
from actually crafting your ability and
to the point where it looks like magic
and that’s the beauty of artistry isn’t
it that it’s so unbelievable that you’re
more willing to believe that it was God
given that they were anointed with it
than that they just worked their ass off
but the truth is every one of the
Great’s no matter how much natural
talent they were born with they’re
remembered because they worked they are
remembered because they did so much work
because in that world
is hardship in that work is difficulty
in that work is unbearable adversity but
it’s in that adversity that the magic
happens and as Victor Hugo said
adversity makes men prosperity makes
monsters so I know right now you wish
you’ve been born with some talent you
wish that all those dreams that you had
they were yours for the taking that you
didn’t have to put blood and sweat and
tears into it that somebody would hand
you at least something in the beginning
that they would give you some start
since spark that’s where the monsters
created if you really want to get hard
if you really want to get tough if you
want to get great if you want to be
untouchable because no one can bend or
break your vision of yourself then you
have to suffer that’s the way of the
world and as Florence Nightingale said I
attribute my success to this I never
gave or took any excuse
[Music]
and that’s the secret at the end of the
day if you know what you want it’s only
a question of whether you’re willing to
pay the price to get there still ask
yourself are you willing to pay the
price
[Music]
I want you to know something
but the bigger your dream is I want you
to understand the heart of the grind the
bigger your dream is the early you will
have to get up longer you’re gonna have
to stay up the bigger you’re drinking in
the more efforts you won’t have to put
in you’ll never see it for those of you
who are 70% 70% beats mode 30% gazelle
that’s just enough for that other person
I’ll do you listen to me that’s just
enough for the other person who wants
just what you want
I want you to think about those goals I
want you to taste them I want you to I
want you to be I want you to internalize
it I’m telling you the drinking your
drink as I want you to sell it I want
you to taste it I want you to know how
close I want you just like when the
weather is changing you can feel it I
want you to be able to feel when you’re
getting closer to it and closer to it
but more importantly I want you to know
when you dream your a dream that there
are other people who are dreaming the
exact same dream when you said to
yourself when the ball comes out this is
what I want to accomplish you’re not the
only person that wants to accomplish it
and now I ask you this question what do
you do when a thousand other people want
exactly what you want what do you do
when you’re not the only one that wants
to make a million dollars of your
company you’re not the only one that
wants to be the president you’re not the
only one that wants to be a CEO what if
you’re not the only one that wants what
you want what if there are thousands of
other people who want what you want you
have to outwork them
you got out behind them you got to get
up earlier you got to stay up later
you’ve got to execute and you’ve got to
go from 7:00 if other people are putting
in quarter hour work weeks and you’re
putting in 100 hour work weeks you will
achieve in four months but it takes them
a year to achieve stop crying and just
keep hustling hustle is the most
important work ever if you want this if
you’re miserable or if you don’t like it
where you want to do something else and
you have a passion somewhere else work
nine to five spend a couple hours for
your family seven to two in the morning
is plenty of time to do damage
I mean you start building your equity in
your brand or whatever you’re trying to
accomplish after hours everybody has
time stop watching lost if you really
have a drive and you really put your
heart and soul into something you can
really make anything happen I wanted to
just prove everybody wrong you know I
mean I wanted to make it and I was gonna
make it regardless of what anybody said
this thing you’re doing it for yourself
you’re not doing it fine anybody else
yes your family supports you yes your
friends support you but you’re doing it
for yourself at the end of the day as
Thomas Edison said our greatest weakness
lies in giving up the most certain way
to succeed is to always try one more
time I know they’re gonna be a million
times in your life where you want to
give up where you absolutely ache with
the desire to quit where nothing sits
inside of your gut
other than the certainty that you are
going to fail that you are not good
enough to push forward but that is to
fundamentally misunderstand the nature
of a failure the nature of a failure is
not to tell you who you are the nature
of a failure is to tell you a way that
didn’t work it’s to inform it’s to
educate you it’s to test you it’s to be
a gut check to find out if you believe
in yourself enough to push forward even
when the world seems to be telling you
not to and as Brian Tracy said attempt
the impossible in order to improve your
work think about that for a second
attempt the impossible just to get
better to try the things that you know
are going to fail things that the world
is gonna tell you simply cannot be but
even if it violates the laws of physics
if there’s something in that attempt
that you’re going to learn you owe it to
yourself you have a moral obligation to
try
because all of the people that will lie
in your wake are the people that didn’t
try simply because they didn’t believe
that they could do it you have to be
willing to look at the world you have to
be willing to see things that you
yourself think are impossible and try
because in that you will stretch
yourself you have to be willing to look
inward at the state of your current
skill set and say I’m going to play
outside of that I’m not going to play
words safe I’m going to play where it
hurts I’m going to play where I feel
clumsy I’m going to play only in the
areas that make me feel stupid because
in that I know that the way that the
brain responds is to adaptation but I
have to stress myself
you can’t ever lose sight of that the
only way that the human animal adapts is
through stress you have to be willing to
break things in order to build something
new
so if you want to push the boundaries if
you want to see just how far you can go
if you want to succeed at the highest
level if you want to play on a global
scale you have got to be willing to try
the impossible because right now the
things that you need to do are
impossible for you but they won’t remain
that way forever and as Aristotle said
pleasure in the job puts perfection in
the work this doesn’t have to be a tale
of always being terrified everybody
myself included screaming at you telling
you that you need to go do something
great the part they’re leaving out is
why should you care
you should character this is the
greatest joy you should only listen to
this if it’s leading you down a path
that makes you feel more alive and
that’s the point
the point is to get in touch with
something that makes you feel great but
not to let yourself starve or be stopped
by a fear that you’ll fail by a fear
that it can’t be done
have fun have the guts to enjoy yourself
have the guts to go out and attempt
something audacious and terrifying
knowing that all along if you’re doing
it right you’re gonna have a good time
so all of this going balls out trying to
prove something to yourself trying to do
something amazing never lose sight that
it’s to build a better life never lose
sight of the fact that you’re doing it
to create the person that you want to be
never lose sight of the fact that it
should be fun what keeps you on top is
the ability to think and prepare
mentally over and over and over again
the body has limitations the mind does
not we focus so much on what goes on
from the neck down
that we forget it all starts from here
[Music]
everything starts from there if you’re
not mentally ready you’re never really
physically prepared and that’s where the
preparation starts I firmly believe that
everybody on this planet has a gift it’s
your job to figure out what that gift is
then it becomes your job to decide
whether you’re going to act on that or
not everyone sees the work that you put
in but it’s what you don’t see it’s
going to determine how far you’re gonna
get
I hear stuff all the time people say oh
look in the mirror and you’ll see why
you’re not succeeding I don’t believe
that it’s what you don’t see in the
mirror that’s what’s holding you back
it’s what you’re not willing to see is
why talent is not enough and when you
when you finally see it and accept it
and decide to work on it
then you can take that next level what
fear is stopping you in your tracks and
burning the soles of your feet
what if conquering that fear whatever it
is that keeps you from being but the
creator intended for you what if you
could unleash everything great in your
life would you do it would you say yes
to that when you get to the edge your
brain will always tell you to step back
it’s always gonna tell you to step back
because you can fall always it’s gonna
tell you to step back because before you
fail the last time you did this you saw
someone else fail you could hurt you can
be off work it’s gonna tell you it’s
designed to keep you safe so you have to
be willing to play between your brain
and your soul and on Sundays
a soul
and you got to say I’m a leap I’m gonna
get to the edge most people are at the
edge and you’re sitting at the edge and
you’re watching everyone else fly
wondering what its gonna be like when
you jump without ever jumping and I’m
just here to tell you jump because only
three things can happen you’re either
gonna jump and fly are you gonna jump
and fall on something soft are you gonna
fall down hard either way you’re gonna
get back up you already know you got
what it takes to get back up
[Music]
your greatest fear is not that you will
fall the greatest fear is that you will
live a full life and never fly that you
never leaked you’re not afraid of dying
you’re afraid of dying before the world
sees who you really are you are special
you have been blessed with certain
talents and when you were a little kid
you knew those talents you dreamed you
are connected with your talents you had
an open heart
you felt grateful you wanted to change
the world you knew you were a genius you
didn’t care what other people thought
you had the conviction to go out and run
your own race and what’s happened you
might be 30 you might be 20 you might be
40 you might be 80 right now and I’m
gonna ask you do you still have the fire
in your belly

wouldn’t seem so wonderful after all and
that’s the thing about getting great
