the way I describe it to people when
people ask me like why does he do all
these things like what is what is the
motivation here I go he's on a mental
Journey that very few people have ever
been on because the what people don't
understand you they or they
misunderstand you or they purposely
misinterpret the way you're living your
life you're trying to understand your
mind in a way that very few human beings
ever get to understand their mind
because you're taking your mind into
these terrible Dark Places all the time
and you're trying to pull things out of
that you're trying to learn things about
yourself and about your potential from
that that's exactly it that's what
people don't understand I studi the
darkness you you find no [ __ ] answers
in the light none it's too happy it's
too nice and we're not we don't need to
be taught how to live in happiness that
that just comes naturally to us happy
moment but the dark times man you can't
and you can't get there unless you put
yourself there life will take you there
but when you get into those dark moments
that's why people that's why people how
are you able man I couldn't [ __ ] read
and write to I was a junior in high
school how are you able to write like
this man [ __ ] I go to such
places in my mind and I study the
darkness like it's not just physical
when I was growing up I saw my mom
getting beat and I got beat and I was
some stuttering little black kid in all
white school and I'm on stage and I
gotta say one line one [ __ ] line in
front of [ __ ] 15 people that walk off
stage come was [ __ ] stutter all those
insecurities and all those [ __ ]
things man I used to go home and [ __ ]
cry my God man I'm [ __ ] up I'm all
[ __ ]
up hang on man as I got older we got to
study this [ __ ] man the only way we're
going to [ __ ] get through this if we
study it so every time I'm in a dark
moment and life's [ __ ] up around me
whether it be physical or just life I
get in it man with the [ __ ] pen and
paper I'm like okay this [ __ ] sucks I
can feel like I'm [ __ ] losing my [ __ ]
let's [ __ ] study this every day when
you get out of bed life standing right
there to kick you in the [ __ ] face
man could be anything could be you get
up and you walk downstairs you had a
[ __ ] flat tire and you're late for
work and you got this and that life is
going to throw all kinds of crazy [ __ ]
at you right and you have to be ready
for it and you got to [ __ ] deal with
it you can't curl up into a ball you
can't run away from it you can't hide
you have to take all this [ __ ] head on
you have to get up every every day when
I get up from out of bed I strap up and
I'm getting ready for [ __ ] War cuz I
know I'm coming in here I know a bunch
of bad shit's going to happen that I'm
going to have to [ __ ] deal with if
that's not bad enough when I finally get
out of here I'm probably going to go to
the casino and I'm I'm going to get into
another [ __ ] War you know what I mean
I thrive in chaos I actually love chaos
I I everybody talks about retiring [ __ ]
that [ __ ] what am I going to do when I
retire what would I do what would I I
like I like to go to war I like to
battle I like to win sometimes I lose
but but then I have to come back from
the loss and I love to build Brands I
love to uh set short-term and long-term
goals and then knock them all down you
know um this is just the stuff that that
that excites me you're going to lose
sleep you'll doubt whether it'll work
you'll stress to make ends meet you
won't finish your to-do list you'll
wonder whether you made the right call
and have no way to know for yours this
is what hard feels like and that's okay
everything worth doing is hard and the
more worth doing it is the harder it is
the greater the payoff the greater the
hardship if it's hard good it means no
one else will do it more for you I think
a lot of Entrepreneurship and even
personal growth is training yourself on
how you respond to hard because in the
early days hard was ooh stop this isn't
good I should I should this is a warning
sign this is a red flag I should slow
down or I should stop you know I should
pivot but the more I think about it as a
competitive landscape as I'm clear on
what this path is supposed to look like
and these rocks and these dragons or
things that I'm going to have to slay
along the way to get the princess or get
the treasure I get happier about the
harder it is because I know that no one
else will follow it's a selection effect
and I think if you can if you can shift
from this is hard to no one else will be
able to do this then it it's it flips
from being this thing that you're like
oh poor me to oh poor everyone else
who's going to have to [ __ ] try yeah
and I think that is so much more
motivating as a frame for the exact same
circumstance there's a lot of cookie
cutter [ __ ] out here in this world oh
discipline wake up early take coach
shower [ __ ] this [ __ ] that whatever it's
all [ __ ] [ __ ] it's not but what
they don't teach you within the cookie
cutter is like our minds are like a
[ __ ] garage and the garage if you
open a garage it's all cluttered up it's
all [ __ ] up you can't put your car in
there you got [ __ ] boats and you got
[ __ ] kids toys and [ __ ] everywhere
but if you organize that [ __ ] garage
and you put everything in this rightful
spot you can pull that car in there you
can put two cars in there you put bikes
in there and that's like with the Mind
people talk about discipline and [ __ ]
determination and [ __ ] you know
repetitions and all this [ __ ]
consistency why people fall off the
wagons so often is because their mind is
full of [ __ ] there's no room in that
mind for discipline there's no room for
consistency they may do it once or twice
but then the mind takes over and that
cluttered [ __ ] garage comes in and
then it's like a circuit breaker man a
circuit breaker just overloads and it
[ __ ] Sparks and our minds that's
that's our mind man it's like a [ __ ]
circuit breaker that's so much [ __ ] in
it you keep on loading it you can't put
any more into it I talk about it in
there man so much about clearing space
in your [ __ ] mind so then you have
room for all those discipline waking up
early taking those because they they
they do mean something but we don't get
to that [ __ ] dark matter that is
keeping you from clearing out that
mental garage I was thinking a lot about
the lonely chapter that we talked about
the last time that was the best most
powerful idea I think that we came up
with and if you see there basically
being no shortcuts toward getting the
thing that you want there are ways to be
more and less efficient and there are
ways to do things with more and less of
a positive disposition which can
actually make the journey feel an awful
lot easier but ultimately if you assume
that largely everyone needs to go
through the same challenges that you're
going through every single difficult
thing that you do is kind of like a
massive wall that you need to get over
and you go wow [ __ ] I'm so glad that
I've got over that wall and think about
how many people are going to be selected
out it's like the Hunger Games you know
think about how many other people are
going to fall that wall there people
only root for people who don't need it
like the amount of times when I was on
my lonely path where I was too different
from the friends that I had but not
successful enough to be friends with the
people that I wanted to be friends with
that's when that's when you want people
to root for you that's when you want
people to support you once you've
already won people are like he's amazing
he's so good but like that's the time
when you need it the least and so you
always have to be the person who roots
for you before everyone else does and
it's usually a single clap in the
auditorium for a very long period of
time it is a slow clap that's just you
rooting for you um and that visual I
think is one that you can kind of take
because it is people struggle to do
things alone and the path of the
exceptional person is one of an
exception which means that you are not
with other people and rather than
fighting that or bemoaning it see it as
an indicator that you're on the right
path because if everyone else were
cheering you on then it means you're not
in the right place because it means
you're just like everyone else and
that's not where you want to be
