This is my Friday motivation talk.
This is for you.
.239825581I want you to know that you can get through anything unfiltered with Matt Farnsworth. 5 00:00:23,212.239825581 --> 00:00:24,602.239825581 Listen to me on this. 6 00:00:25,432.239825581 --> 00:00:28,22.239825581 Ten years ago, you have to remember where I was at. 7 00:00:28,22.239825581 --> 00:00:32,372.239825581 I have to repeat this because people need to understand just how broken I was. 8 00:00:32,852.239825581 --> 00:00:37,292.238825581 I was in a place where I was in a residence inn that I was paying for on a credit card. 9 00:00:37,902.239825581 --> 00:00:42,492.239825581 I had two children, a wife at the time who was having an affair with a Canadian roofer. 10 00:00:42,897.239825581 --> 00:00:55,67.239825581 I had been drinking and doing cocaine, I had crashed a car, I was up on felony DUI charges, I had a broken neck, 25 staples in my forehead, and barely a cent to my name. 11 00:00:55,67.239825581 --> 00:01:02,227.239825581 Today I'm more successful than I ever have been in my life, and I just want you to know that anything is possible. 12 00:01:02,717.239825581 --> 00:01:07,667.239825581 For those of you out there struggling with addiction, for those of you out there thinking they can't get through it, you can. 13 00:01:08,817.239825581 --> 00:01:13,737.239825581 What do you need to do to get through it? That is the real question, isn't it? That's what everybody wants to know. 14 00:01:13,917.239825581 --> 00:01:18,767.239825581 What do I do and what did you do to get through it? Well, here's what I did. 15 00:01:19,827.238825581 --> 00:01:21,697.238825581 I had that long look in the mirror. 16 00:01:22,367.239825581 --> 00:01:31,207.239825581 I rolled off that bed after I'd gotten wasted, after I got Bailed out of the hospital that I was in, I couldn't go to jail, I was too messed up. 17 00:01:32,407.239825581 --> 00:01:49,477.23882558 I drank myself almost to death in that bed, woke up covered in blood, rolled off the bed, walked down the hallway, turned on the cheap light, overhead fluorescent light, it flickered, and I saw myself in the mirror and I thought, You're a monster, man. 18 00:01:49,477.23882558 --> 00:01:51,27.23882558 You look like a monster. 19 00:01:52,227.23882558 --> 00:01:53,337.23882558 So you need a turning point. 20 00:01:53,337.23882558 --> 00:01:56,17.23882558 You need a place where you can say, I'm done. 21 00:01:56,802.23982558 --> 00:01:58,672.23982558 And you have to tell yourself, I'm done. 22 00:01:59,172.23982558 --> 00:02:01,212.23982558 I looked at myself and I said, that's it. 23 00:02:01,262.23982558 --> 00:02:02,152.23982558 This is over. 24 00:02:02,842.23982558 --> 00:02:06,632.23982558 This is not a process that is going to be successful for me. 25 00:02:08,122.23982558 --> 00:02:17,912.23882558 What I was doing, the way I was treating myself, the way I was treating my body, the way I was treating other people was no longer benefiting me or anyone else around me. 26 00:02:18,232.23982558 --> 00:02:20,92.23982558 And it hadn't been for a long time. 27 00:02:20,952.23982558 --> 00:02:22,472.23982558 So I decided to make a change. 28 00:02:22,972.23982558 --> 00:02:24,392.23982558 And it took a long time. 29 00:02:24,452.23982558 --> 00:02:26,592.23982558 It took persistence over time. 30 00:02:27,147.23982558 --> 00:02:30,757.23982558 Remember, you have to have persistence over time. 31 00:02:31,467.23982558 --> 00:02:34,377.23982558 Success is not going to come overnight. 32 00:02:35,157.23982558 --> 00:02:42,877.23982558 It takes years of hard work to get to where you want to be, but you can do it one step at a time. 33 00:02:44,37.23982558 --> 00:02:49,107.24082558 Delay the gratification set up in your mind that you don't have an expectation. 34 00:02:49,567.23982558 --> 00:02:50,897.23982558 This was critical at the beginning. 35 00:02:52,102.23982558 --> 00:03:02,472.23882558 Because where I was at, and if you think about yourself right now, if you're one of those people that's at ground zero, you've just got nothing left, you've decimated your life, you're having a difficult time. 36 00:03:02,792.23982558 --> 00:03:13,702.23882558 You can recover because you've got nothing to lose and there's nothing more dangerous than a man out there who has nothing to lose that is willing to go the distance now to win. 37 00:03:14,52.23982558 --> 00:03:18,822.23982558 And it's going to take time and you can do it, but you must be persistent over time. 38 00:03:19,692.23982558 --> 00:03:30,152.23982558 This is a, a persistence game and a resilience game over a long period of time without wavering, without falling down and without making excuses. 39 00:03:30,957.23982558 --> 00:03:32,47.23982558 Don't make excuses. 40 00:03:32,77.23982558 --> 00:03:35,847.23982558 Don't have expectations and push every single day. 41 00:03:36,227.23982558 --> 00:03:37,967.23982558 Add up every single small victory. 42 00:03:38,467.23982558 --> 00:03:42,267.23982558 As I went along, when I got into recovery, I added up every single small victory. 43 00:03:42,897.23982558 --> 00:03:48,822.13982558 I never once said, Today was a failure, because I didn't do it. 44 00:03:49,512.23982558 --> 00:03:52,812.23982558 Make a bunch of money or I didn't meet the woman of my dreams. 45 00:03:52,902.23982558 --> 00:03:54,232.23982558 I didn't have expectations. 46 00:03:54,232.23982558 --> 00:04:26,537.23982558 I woke up in the morning knowing Expect nothing out of this day this is how things have been going for you and the lower I set my Expectations the more serenity I had at the end of the day to sit down and say okay today was a decent day I didn't drink I walked I ate somewhat decent and slowly But surely these things started to add up I became more and more healthy as time went on And then I started to see those patterns, those cycles of behavior that I was trapped in, that I was stuck in, that I couldn't get out of. 47 00:04:27,97.23982558 --> 00:04:39,647.23982558 And I was able to manage to remove those cycles in my life that were causing me dysfunction, that were causing me to spiral out of control, that were causing me to have the addiction issues. 48 00:04:40,902.23982558 --> 00:05:01,492.23882558 And then I elevated from there you elevate and it does happen more quickly after you've got a few years in and you've figured out those processes that have been stopping you, you get momentum and you start moving faster and then the people around you notice, oh, he's different. 49 00:05:01,682.23982558 --> 00:05:03,802.23982558 But remember, I'm talking about a couple of years here. 50 00:05:04,72.23982558 --> 00:05:05,192.23982558 This is not overnight. 51 00:05:05,722.23982558 --> 00:05:11,352.23982558 I'm saying 24 months of hard work, determination and no expectation. 52 00:05:11,642.23982558 --> 00:05:13,2.23982558 And even at the 24 months. 53 00:05:13,622.23982558 --> 00:05:14,632.23982558 No expectation. 54 00:05:15,792.23982558 --> 00:05:22,582.23982558 You're waking up and you're doing the work you want to do because you want to be a better person and you want to better society. 55 00:05:22,812.23982558 --> 00:05:30,802.23982558 You want to be the man you're supposed to be for your family, for your kids, for yourself, so that you have self respect. 56 00:05:31,937.23982558 --> 00:05:50,567.23982558 That's what you want ultimately is to respect yourself and the best way to respect yourself is to develop an internal gratitude that says I'm grateful for every single day that I get, not because of the things that I receive or the expectations that I have that are supposed to be met. 57 00:05:50,647.23982558 --> 00:05:51,517.23982558 That doesn't work. 58 00:05:51,767.23982558 --> 00:05:57,27.23982558 You have to say to yourself, I'm grateful for every single day because I'm alive because I'm able. 59 00:05:57,772.23982558 --> 00:06:02,532.23982558 To do the things to help the people around me do better. 60 00:06:02,692.23982558 --> 00:06:04,132.23982558 That is the whole goal. 61 00:06:04,232.23982558 --> 00:06:26,402.23982558 You become the man that you're supposed to be when you embody that resilient warrior type of person who's there to protect, to serve, and to, in general, be the rock and the foundation of your family. 62 00:06:27,427.23982558 --> 00:06:30,287.23982558 And that was what I was able to develop over time. 63 00:06:30,737.23982558 --> 00:06:34,67.23982558 Very fortunate for me, the path that I went down. 64 00:06:35,147.23982558 --> 00:06:39,97.23982558 I'm so grateful that I was taken and I was crushed into nothing. 65 00:06:39,657.23982558 --> 00:06:42,747.23882558 If I had never been crushed into nothing, I never would have grown. 66 00:06:42,977.23882558 --> 00:06:47,277.24082558 If I didn't have the failures that I've had, I never would have had the successes that I've had. 67 00:06:47,597.23982558 --> 00:06:55,757.23982558 If I hadn't pushed myself to limits that I didn't know I could achieve, I never would have achieved anything. 68 00:06:57,187.23982558 --> 00:07:01,287.23982558 It's only through failure that we find our success. 69 00:07:01,377.23982558 --> 00:07:05,297.23982558 And if you're not trying, then you're not going to win. 70 00:07:06,817.23982558 --> 00:07:07,967.23882558 No expectations. 71 00:07:08,487.23982558 --> 00:07:09,687.23982558 Work your butt off. 72 00:07:10,367.23982558 --> 00:07:11,657.23982558 Forget about failure. 73 00:07:11,717.23982558 --> 00:07:15,797.23982558 Forget about the idea that failure is even possible for you because it's not. 74 00:07:15,807.23982558 --> 00:07:17,807.23982558 Failure is just a construct of your mind. 75 00:07:17,987.23982558 --> 00:07:22,147.23982558 It's just something that you've made up to tell yourself you can't do it. 76 00:07:22,407.23982558 --> 00:07:30,297.23982558 It's setting your own internal limitations that says you're not available to have the kind of success that you desire. 77 00:07:30,447.23982558 --> 00:07:39,767.23882558 When anything, I mean, anything is possible with the right determination, the right process, the right attitude, and the right repeatable system. 78 00:07:39,907.23982558 --> 00:07:55,647.23982558 You can create a life that you want, that you desire, but until you get yourself straightened out, until you understand who you are and you level set everything, and you have the gratitude and you have the ability to say, I'm going to take a step back. 79 00:07:55,897.23982558 --> 00:07:56,967.23982558 I'm no longer. 80 00:07:57,192.23982558 --> 00:08:11,392.23882558 The one who is in charge of all of this in terms of my wanting things, you turn off that monster that says, I need to be gratified and I need to know what's going to happen for me at the end of the day. 81 00:08:11,392.23982558 --> 00:08:13,192.23882558 And my expectations should be met. 82 00:08:13,212.23982558 --> 00:08:16,912.23982558 And I need things and I need validation. 83 00:08:16,912.23982558 --> 00:08:26,622.13982558 When you keep looking for all of that, if you can level set that, if you can get rid of that to start, you're going to win and then you keep doing it. 84 00:08:26,912.23982558 --> 00:08:27,922.23982558 Going people. 85 00:08:29,252.23982558 --> 00:08:30,612.23982558 Any of you can do this. 86 00:08:30,832.23982558 --> 00:08:35,602.23982558 Anyone out there can change their lives and become successful. 87 00:08:36,42.23982558 --> 00:08:36,972.23982558 Life is short. 88 00:08:37,112.23982558 --> 00:08:40,652.23982558 Life is happening right before your eyes in a flash. 89 00:08:40,892.23982558 --> 00:09:09,742.23882558 It's going to be 10 years later and you're going to be saying, Why didn't I do that? Why didn't I change? Why did I let this person say that to me? Why did I not stand up for myself? Why did I not quit drinking? Why did I not take care of my kids the way I should have? Why didn't I tell my wife the way that I felt? Why didn't I be the man that I was supposed to be back then? Don't let the moment slip by when it comes to you and it's in your face and it's ready to go and it's saying, Hey, listen to me, pay attention to me. 90 00:09:11,352.23882558 --> 00:09:13,112.23882558 It's there for that split second. 91 00:09:13,902.23882558 --> 00:09:17,17.23982558 And when you overlook it and you let it go, You lose it. 92 00:09:17,307.23982558 --> 00:09:17,987.23982558 It's gone. 93 00:09:19,857.23982558 --> 00:09:21,517.23982558 It only comes once in a while. 94 00:09:21,967.23982558 --> 00:09:27,257.23982558 I believe we have three or four of those moments a year, totally redefine ourselves, totally rebuild ourselves. 95 00:09:28,127.23982558 --> 00:09:30,307.23982558 Those flashes of light that God sends us. 96 00:09:30,317.23882558 --> 00:09:31,617.23882558 It says you're alive. 97 00:09:31,637.23982558 --> 00:09:34,437.23882558 Now wake up, start living. 98 00:09:34,947.23982558 --> 00:09:35,987.23982558 Things don't matter. 99 00:09:36,537.23982558 --> 00:09:38,207.23982558 Material possessions don't matter. 100 00:09:39,167.23982558 --> 00:09:40,767.23982558 It is irrelevant. 101 00:09:41,37.23982558 --> 00:09:42,77.23982558 They're fantastic. 102 00:09:42,227.23982558 --> 00:09:43,277.23982558 Money's wonderful. 103 00:09:43,527.23982558 --> 00:09:44,507.23982558 Go out and make it. 104 00:09:45,107.23982558 --> 00:09:47,907.23982558 You're totally available to do that on your own. 105 00:09:49,317.23882558 --> 00:09:50,297.23982558 You don't need a boss. 106 00:09:50,297.23982558 --> 00:09:52,287.23982558 You don't need somebody to tell you what to do. 107 00:09:53,827.23882558 --> 00:09:56,327.23882558 That's something I learned just recently. 108 00:09:56,327.23982558 --> 00:10:00,17.23982558 As a matter of fact, you don't need somebody over you telling you what to do. 109 00:10:00,17.23982558 --> 00:10:01,627.23982558 In fact, I don't desire that. 110 00:10:02,397.23982558 --> 00:10:10,697.23982558 I'm sure a lot of you don't either, but until you get this Mindset of toughness of the warrior and you develop it over a period of time. 111 00:10:11,142.23982558 --> 00:10:21,52.23982558 You're always going to have people telling you what to do, what you should think, how you should feel running your life, own your life, own it. 112 00:10:21,512.23982558 --> 00:10:23,372.23882558 You have the power to do this. 113 00:10:23,722.23982558 --> 00:10:24,732.23982558 I believe in you. 114 00:10:25,82.23982558 --> 00:10:25,942.23982558 Don't give up. 115 00:10:25,952.23982558 --> 00:10:27,542.23982558 There's a light at the end of that tunnel. 116 00:10:27,602.23882558 --> 00:10:28,802.23882558 This is my pep talk. 117 00:10:29,622.23982558 --> 00:10:30,722.23982558 I know I'm going off. 118 00:10:30,772.23982558 --> 00:10:33,892.23982558 I know I just turned on the camera and I went for it because I felt it. 119 00:10:34,232.23982558 --> 00:10:35,782.23982558 And I want you to feel it too. 120 00:10:35,782.23982558 --> 00:10:37,32.23982558 I want you to win. 121 00:10:37,112.23982558 --> 00:10:38,322.23982558 That's what I want for people. 122 00:10:38,672.23982558 --> 00:10:40,262.23982558 I want you to be a winner. 123 00:10:40,522.23982558 --> 00:10:41,992.23982558 I want you to come out the other side. 124 00:10:41,992.23982558 --> 00:10:43,392.23982558 I want you to say, I'm satisfied. 125 00:10:43,622.23982558 --> 00:10:46,492.23982558 I'm happy because everybody has that power. 126 00:10:47,352.24082558 --> 00:10:49,92.23982558 Everyone has that power to do that. 127 00:10:50,702.23982558 --> 00:10:53,802.23982558 You're the only person that can stop you.

This is for you.
.239825581I want you to know that you can get through anything unfiltered with Matt Farnsworth. 5 00:00:23,212.239825581 --> 00:00:24,602.239825581 Listen to me on this. 6 00:00:25,432.239825581 --> 00:00:28,22.239825581 Ten years ago, you have to remember where I was at. 7 00:00:28,22.239825581 --> 00:00:32,372.239825581 I have to repeat this because people need to understand just how broken I was. 8 00:00:32,852.239825581 --> 00:00:37,292.238825581 I was in a place where I was in a residence inn that I was paying for on a credit card. 9 00:00:37,902.239825581 --> 00:00:42,492.239825581 I had two children, a wife at the time who was having an affair with a Canadian roofer. 10 00:00:42,897.239825581 --> 00:00:55,67.239825581 I had been drinking and doing cocaine, I had crashed a car, I was up on felony DUI charges, I had a broken neck, 25 staples in my forehead, and barely a cent to my name. 11 00:00:55,67.239825581 --> 00:01:02,227.239825581 Today I'm more successful than I ever have been in my life, and I just want you to know that anything is possible. 12 00:01:02,717.239825581 --> 00:01:07,667.239825581 For those of you out there struggling with addiction, for those of you out there thinking they can't get through it, you can. 13 00:01:08,817.239825581 --> 00:01:13,737.239825581 What do you need to do to get through it? That is the real question, isn't it? That's what everybody wants to know. 14 00:01:13,917.239825581 --> 00:01:18,767.239825581 What do I do and what did you do to get through it? Well, here's what I did. 15 00:01:19,827.238825581 --> 00:01:21,697.238825581 I had that long look in the mirror. 16 00:01:22,367.239825581 --> 00:01:31,207.239825581 I rolled off that bed after I'd gotten wasted, after I got Bailed out of the hospital that I was in, I couldn't go to jail, I was too messed up. 17 00:01:32,407.239825581 --> 00:01:49,477.23882558 I drank myself almost to death in that bed, woke up covered in blood, rolled off the bed, walked down the hallway, turned on the cheap light, overhead fluorescent light, it flickered, and I saw myself in the mirror and I thought, You're a monster, man. 18 00:01:49,477.23882558 --> 00:01:51,27.23882558 You look like a monster. 19 00:01:52,227.23882558 --> 00:01:53,337.23882558 So you need a turning point. 20 00:01:53,337.23882558 --> 00:01:56,17.23882558 You need a place where you can say, I'm done. 21 00:01:56,802.23982558 --> 00:01:58,672.23982558 And you have to tell yourself, I'm done. 22 00:01:59,172.23982558 --> 00:02:01,212.23982558 I looked at myself and I said, that's it. 23 00:02:01,262.23982558 --> 00:02:02,152.23982558 This is over. 24 00:02:02,842.23982558 --> 00:02:06,632.23982558 This is not a process that is going to be successful for me. 25 00:02:08,122.23982558 --> 00:02:17,912.23882558 What I was doing, the way I was treating myself, the way I was treating my body, the way I was treating other people was no longer benefiting me or anyone else around me. 26 00:02:18,232.23982558 --> 00:02:20,92.23982558 And it hadn't been for a long time. 27 00:02:20,952.23982558 --> 00:02:22,472.23982558 So I decided to make a change. 28 00:02:22,972.23982558 --> 00:02:24,392.23982558 And it took a long time. 29 00:02:24,452.23982558 --> 00:02:26,592.23982558 It took persistence over time. 30 00:02:27,147.23982558 --> 00:02:30,757.23982558 Remember, you have to have persistence over time. 31 00:02:31,467.23982558 --> 00:02:34,377.23982558 Success is not going to come overnight. 32 00:02:35,157.23982558 --> 00:02:42,877.23982558 It takes years of hard work to get to where you want to be, but you can do it one step at a time. 33 00:02:44,37.23982558 --> 00:02:49,107.24082558 Delay the gratification set up in your mind that you don't have an expectation. 34 00:02:49,567.23982558 --> 00:02:50,897.23982558 This was critical at the beginning. 35 00:02:52,102.23982558 --> 00:03:02,472.23882558 Because where I was at, and if you think about yourself right now, if you're one of those people that's at ground zero, you've just got nothing left, you've decimated your life, you're having a difficult time. 36 00:03:02,792.23982558 --> 00:03:13,702.23882558 You can recover because you've got nothing to lose and there's nothing more dangerous than a man out there who has nothing to lose that is willing to go the distance now to win. 37 00:03:14,52.23982558 --> 00:03:18,822.23982558 And it's going to take time and you can do it, but you must be persistent over time. 38 00:03:19,692.23982558 --> 00:03:30,152.23982558 This is a, a persistence game and a resilience game over a long period of time without wavering, without falling down and without making excuses. 39 00:03:30,957.23982558 --> 00:03:32,47.23982558 Don't make excuses. 40 00:03:32,77.23982558 --> 00:03:35,847.23982558 Don't have expectations and push every single day. 41 00:03:36,227.23982558 --> 00:03:37,967.23982558 Add up every single small victory. 42 00:03:38,467.23982558 --> 00:03:42,267.23982558 As I went along, when I got into recovery, I added up every single small victory. 43 00:03:42,897.23982558 --> 00:03:48,822.13982558 I never once said, Today was a failure, because I didn't do it. 44 00:03:49,512.23982558 --> 00:03:52,812.23982558 Make a bunch of money or I didn't meet the woman of my dreams. 45 00:03:52,902.23982558 --> 00:03:54,232.23982558 I didn't have expectations. 46 00:03:54,232.23982558 --> 00:04:26,537.23982558 I woke up in the morning knowing Expect nothing out of this day this is how things have been going for you and the lower I set my Expectations the more serenity I had at the end of the day to sit down and say okay today was a decent day I didn't drink I walked I ate somewhat decent and slowly But surely these things started to add up I became more and more healthy as time went on And then I started to see those patterns, those cycles of behavior that I was trapped in, that I was stuck in, that I couldn't get out of. 47 00:04:27,97.23982558 --> 00:04:39,647.23982558 And I was able to manage to remove those cycles in my life that were causing me dysfunction, that were causing me to spiral out of control, that were causing me to have the addiction issues. 48 00:04:40,902.23982558 --> 00:05:01,492.23882558 And then I elevated from there you elevate and it does happen more quickly after you've got a few years in and you've figured out those processes that have been stopping you, you get momentum and you start moving faster and then the people around you notice, oh, he's different. 49 00:05:01,682.23982558 --> 00:05:03,802.23982558 But remember, I'm talking about a couple of years here. 50 00:05:04,72.23982558 --> 00:05:05,192.23982558 This is not overnight. 51 00:05:05,722.23982558 --> 00:05:11,352.23982558 I'm saying 24 months of hard work, determination and no expectation. 52 00:05:11,642.23982558 --> 00:05:13,2.23982558 And even at the 24 months. 53 00:05:13,622.23982558 --> 00:05:14,632.23982558 No expectation. 54 00:05:15,792.23982558 --> 00:05:22,582.23982558 You're waking up and you're doing the work you want to do because you want to be a better person and you want to better society. 55 00:05:22,812.23982558 --> 00:05:30,802.23982558 You want to be the man you're supposed to be for your family, for your kids, for yourself, so that you have self respect. 56 00:05:31,937.23982558 --> 00:05:50,567.23982558 That's what you want ultimately is to respect yourself and the best way to respect yourself is to develop an internal gratitude that says I'm grateful for every single day that I get, not because of the things that I receive or the expectations that I have that are supposed to be met. 57 00:05:50,647.23982558 --> 00:05:51,517.23982558 That doesn't work. 58 00:05:51,767.23982558 --> 00:05:57,27.23982558 You have to say to yourself, I'm grateful for every single day because I'm alive because I'm able. 59 00:05:57,772.23982558 --> 00:06:02,532.23982558 To do the things to help the people around me do better. 60 00:06:02,692.23982558 --> 00:06:04,132.23982558 That is the whole goal. 61 00:06:04,232.23982558 --> 00:06:26,402.23982558 You become the man that you're supposed to be when you embody that resilient warrior type of person who's there to protect, to serve, and to, in general, be the rock and the foundation of your family. 62 00:06:27,427.23982558 --> 00:06:30,287.23982558 And that was what I was able to develop over time. 63 00:06:30,737.23982558 --> 00:06:34,67.23982558 Very fortunate for me, the path that I went down. 64 00:06:35,147.23982558 --> 00:06:39,97.23982558 I'm so grateful that I was taken and I was crushed into nothing. 65 00:06:39,657.23982558 --> 00:06:42,747.23882558 If I had never been crushed into nothing, I never would have grown. 66 00:06:42,977.23882558 --> 00:06:47,277.24082558 If I didn't have the failures that I've had, I never would have had the successes that I've had. 67 00:06:47,597.23982558 --> 00:06:55,757.23982558 If I hadn't pushed myself to limits that I didn't know I could achieve, I never would have achieved anything. 68 00:06:57,187.23982558 --> 00:07:01,287.23982558 It's only through failure that we find our success. 69 00:07:01,377.23982558 --> 00:07:05,297.23982558 And if you're not trying, then you're not going to win. 70 00:07:06,817.23982558 --> 00:07:07,967.23882558 No expectations. 71 00:07:08,487.23982558 --> 00:07:09,687.23982558 Work your butt off. 72 00:07:10,367.23982558 --> 00:07:11,657.23982558 Forget about failure. 73 00:07:11,717.23982558 --> 00:07:15,797.23982558 Forget about the idea that failure is even possible for you because it's not. 74 00:07:15,807.23982558 --> 00:07:17,807.23982558 Failure is just a construct of your mind. 75 00:07:17,987.23982558 --> 00:07:22,147.23982558 It's just something that you've made up to tell yourself you can't do it. 76 00:07:22,407.23982558 --> 00:07:30,297.23982558 It's setting your own internal limitations that says you're not available to have the kind of success that you desire. 77 00:07:30,447.23982558 --> 00:07:39,767.23882558 When anything, I mean, anything is possible with the right determination, the right process, the right attitude, and the right repeatable system. 78 00:07:39,907.23982558 --> 00:07:55,647.23982558 You can create a life that you want, that you desire, but until you get yourself straightened out, until you understand who you are and you level set everything, and you have the gratitude and you have the ability to say, I'm going to take a step back. 79 00:07:55,897.23982558 --> 00:07:56,967.23982558 I'm no longer. 80 00:07:57,192.23982558 --> 00:08:11,392.23882558 The one who is in charge of all of this in terms of my wanting things, you turn off that monster that says, I need to be gratified and I need to know what's going to happen for me at the end of the day. 81 00:08:11,392.23982558 -->
