Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hey Team Bneze Here walking back to the Building Better
Humans Project podcast here with another Saturday edition which have
now added into the podcast where I'm sharing the PEP
talks because I absolutely love these, or these could even
be things that I find on YouTube and so on,
and obviously this is a space, a corner of the
world where I just want to share anything that I

(00:30):
find inspiration or motivation or that might just be that
little kick up the pants that we need to kick
off our day, because those be honest, not every day
we wake up feeling inspired, we feel motivated, we feel
like we want to get after it. No matter who
you are, I don't feel that way every day. Merely
doesn't feel that way every day. Nobody I know, even
the most successful people feel that way every day. But

(00:50):
by sharing things or listening to things, these little audio pieces,
they can just be that catalyst to change your physiology,
change how you feel. So I get up in the
morning and I don't feel one hundred percent, then I
listen to something. I'll watch something short and sharp. I
don't need to dwell down into things. I just need

(01:11):
to make a decision to go after something to change
my physiology and interestingly, making decisions is what this pep
Talk's about. It's about not choosing between one or the
other thing to do. It's about making a decision, a
non negotiable that you're going to live a certain way,
or be a certain way, or represent yourself a certain way.

(01:31):
You're going to get fitter and healthier. You're going to
chase after that business goal or dream. We're going to
build a better relationship. It doesn't matter what the thing is.
It's all about you making a decision and then that
decision being a non negotiable. And so I really enjoyed
this episode, and I thought i'd share it with you
guys to kick off another weekend and hope that you
have had a good week just gone, but more importantly

(01:53):
set yourself up for a cracking week that's about to come.
So let's get after it pep talk or just decide.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Feel like right now you're looking around with lost or directionless.
I would take about fifteen minutes and figure out what
the hell you want to do with your life, and
I always start getting after it. You're almost out of time,
you're twenty two, you're late.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Go decide to do it.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Now. Decide does not mean the same thing as choose.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Choose means pick one.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
See, if you make a choice, you can change your mind.
But if you make a decision, there is no change
in your mind, and you.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Want to inch your way up to a decision.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
That's not how decisions work.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Decision work like this.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
You cut yourself off from everything else.

Speaker 7 (02:47):
So you just decide, I'm gonna do this.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
You decide I'm gonna make a million dollars.

Speaker 8 (02:51):
You decide I'm gonna become a best selling offer.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
You decide I'm gonna get it in shape. You decide
I Am not going to be old and sick and
fat and.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Out of it.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
I'm not gonna do it.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
You just decide.

Speaker 9 (03:01):
The first thing is to start, because what you'll find
is a lot of people about a lot of stuff,
and they haven't actually done it. And there's this idea
that there's some perfect time, perfect set of circumstances. It's
never perfect. Just do something, get out of the gate.

Speaker 10 (03:15):
What's your life gonna look like if you don't do it?
What's your life gonna look like if you don't fucking
go out and build?

Speaker 8 (03:22):
What the heck you want to build?

Speaker 10 (03:23):
That you have this little vision in your heart and
in your mind of what your life should be like,
And what are you gonna feel like if you don't.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Go do that?

Speaker 10 (03:32):
What are you going to feel like in a year,
five years, ten years, twenty years when you die? What
are you going to be saying?

Speaker 5 (03:40):
All the what.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Ifs and the scenarios that you create inside your own
mind that are way worse than anything that is actually
gonna happen, they all disappear where you go. So just
to just take action and start moving forward.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
And if you're not good enough today, that's okay.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Work harder, get better.

Speaker 7 (04:01):
And you will eventually be good at them.

Speaker 11 (04:03):
Just keep stacking days, Just keep stacking days. As long
as you keep stacking days, I promise you, I promise
you will see the change. But everything that you want
is on the other side of hard.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
A day can slip by like that. Yeah, a day
becomes a week, becomes a month, becomes a year, and
before you know it, you're thirty.

Speaker 9 (04:24):
Yeah right, and you have shit.

Speaker 8 (04:25):
Really until the risk of being the same outweigh as
the risk of change. It's like, I don't want to
be the same guy forever. I don't until I'm really
willing to make a chance. I'll be that guy for it.
Like I'm not afraid of the change, I'm afraid of
staying this way forever.

Speaker 7 (04:40):
God, Like I said, the universe, whatever you're believing, gave
you your vision. You know where you want to go.

Speaker 10 (04:45):
You need your compelling future.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
You need to keep pushing forward. And you can't expect
others to get.

Speaker 10 (04:52):
Your dreams because they weren't downloaded in them. They were
downloaded in you.

Speaker 12 (04:57):
The bigger for your life to fail is to let
motherfuckers know what you want to do.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
You never never let them know. So I disappear.

Speaker 7 (05:06):
You nothing to do with something.

Speaker 10 (05:07):
Because I can promise you row. That dream ain't going away.
That dream was placed in your heart and in your
mind by God. It is your purpose and you are
obligated to go build it. And for you to go
build that, it's going to require executing when you don't
feel like.

Speaker 7 (05:23):
If you're willing to suck at something for one hundred
days in a rouw, then you could beat most people
at most things. The bar for excellence has never been
so low, and so most of your competition puts after
the first sign of difficulty, the first in passing the
mountain where they don't immediately get it because they've never
known what heart feels like, and so you having to

(05:43):
figure something out the unknown is the hard part. Be
figuring it out is the hard part.

Speaker 9 (05:48):
Don't benchmark and measure yourself by some standard that actually
isn't part of your existence. It's like, do something, get
out of the gate, start it, and then you test
and you learn into it because nothing works immediately.

Speaker 8 (06:02):
Steady pressure, Keep pushing, keep pushing, keep pushing, because now
you become staggered and become really comfortable and goodness.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Good enough.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
The biggest lie that we tell ourselves is I need
to feel ready before I act wrong. Action creates clarity,
not the other way around. Of course you don't feel ready,
you haven't done it before, do the thing, and clarity
will follow.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Oh going to die, and I want you to understand
you're going to die. So when you leave here, there's
a sense of urgency and you stop wasting games, and
you stop getting a funk, and you stop being depressed
because stuff don't work out the way you want it
to work out. Listen to me back close to If
you get depressed, I guarantee you it ain't gonna never
work out.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
If you get the.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Fuck for a week, two weeks, four weeks, six months,
it ain't gonna never work out. Because the longer you're
in a funk, the longer you're withholding your greatness. And
as long as you withhold your greatness, whatever you dreamed of,
whatever you desire to be, it ain't gonna never happen
when you're in a fuck. You can't never get great
out of a fun. You can't never get great out
of depressiet. You can't never get great out of loads

(07:02):
up the steeve. You can't never get great out of
being chaptimistic. You can only be great. I believe me.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
I choose not to be a common man. It's my
right to be uncommon if I could. I seek opportunity,
not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen,
humbled and dull by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk to dream and
to bill, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to
live from hand to mouth. I prefer the challenges of
life to the guaranteed existence, the fill of fulfillment, to

(07:30):
the still calm of utopia. I will never call before
the Master, nor been to any threat. It's my hands,
just just standingrect, proud and unafraid to face the world.

Speaker 12 (07:41):
Boldly and say I did this. I did this. This
is my dream.
