  1. I want you to be afraid of failure.
  2. FEAR OF FAILURE IS GOOD.
  3. Fear of failure will keep you up at night, planning, rehearsing, going over contingencies.
  4. That is what I want you to be afraid of:
  5. Waking up in six days or six weeks or six years or SIXTY YEARS and being no closer to your goal … You have made NO PROGRESS.
  6. That is the horror. That is the nightmare. That is what you really need to be afraid of: Being stagnant.
  7.  
  8. So the battle, the struggle—the hesitation—takes place in that moment.
  9. That moment, when we must step into the unknown—that moment filled with fear and horror.
  10. And that fear is what causes hesitation—and hesitation causes defeat.
  11. HESITATION IS THE ENEMY. THE MORE TIME YOU GIVE TO HESITATION THE STRONGER IT BECOMES, DONT GIVE ENEMY TIME TO GROW, STRIKE IT FAST
  12. Hesitation allows the moment to pass, the opportunity to be lost, the enemy to get the upper hand. Hesitation turns into cowardice. It stops us from moving forward, from taking initiative, from executing what we know we must.
  13. Hesitation defeats us. So we must defeat it.
  14. To win, all you have to do is overcome that moment: The Waiting. The Hesitation. And to do that, all you have to do is: Go. Move. Take the action. Get out of bed. Get your feet on the ground. Step forward.
  15.  
  16. This is the instinct that says: You can rest now.
  17. Do not listen to that instinct.
  18. DO NOT LISTEN.
  19. Because that instinct is a liar and wants to bring you down.
  20. You see, this instinct is a defense mechanism for your ego.
  21. It gives you an out—a place to run to.
  22. A place of sympathy and amnesty, where all can be forgiven.
  23. Where failures gather together in comfort and drown their sorrows in lies and deception.
  24. They tell each other—and they tell you: “You did the best you could…” and “The deck was stacked against you…” and “It’s not your fault…”
  25. And so they tell you: It’s okay to stop—it’s okay to settle. IT’S OKAY TO GIVE UP.
  26. DO NOT TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT
  27.  
  28.  
  29.  
  30. And with all those different types of people, there were good and bad. Successful and unsuccessful.
  31. So to me, it is not about nature or nurture: It is about choice.
  32. The people who are successful decide they are going to be successful. They make that choice.
  33. And they make other choices. They decide to study hard. They decide to work hard. They decide to be the first person to get to work and the last to go home. They decide they are going to take on the hard jobs. Take on the challenges. They decide they are going to lead when no one else will.

  41.  
  42. TIMES IS NOW AND LATER NEVER COMES
  43.  
  44. YOU NEED TO CONTROL YOURSELF TO DO ANYTHING , CHOOSE YOUR WILL AND ATTITUDE
  45.  
  46. NEVER STRESS ABOUT SOMETHING YOU CAN'T CONTROL
  47.  
  48. Fight weak emotions with the power of logic; fight the weakness of logic with the power of emotion.
  49.  
  50. KEY TO BEING ON POINT IS STAYING ON POINT

  55.  
  56. BE PROACTIVE , DONT JUST MEASLY RESPOND TO WHAT IS THROWN AT YOU

  60. NEVER ACCEPT WEAKNESS, WEAKNESS OF WILL , SHORT TERM GRATIFICATION , GIVING UP
  61.  
  62.  
  63. What is more important: Nature or nurture? In my opinion: Neither.
  64. I have seen people from every stratum of life.
  65. In the military, I worked with every type of person:
  66. Ivy League kids with silver spoons, former gangbangers, hood rats, prep school kids, kids from blue-collar families, kids from strong families and kids with no families, kids who were pampered and kids who were abused. And everything in between.
  67. Everything.
  68. And with all those different types of people, there were good and bad. Successful and unsuccessful.
  69. So to me, it is not about nature or nurture: It is about choice.
  70. The people who are successful decide they are going to be successful. They make that choice.
  71. And they make other choices. They decide to study hard. They decide to work hard. They decide to be the first person to get to work and the last to go home. They decide they are going to take on the hard jobs. Take on the challenges. They decide they are going to lead when no one else will.
  72. They choose who they are going to hang around and they choose who they will emulate.
  73. They choose to become who they want to become—they aren’t inhibited by nature or nurture. They overcome both.
  74.  
  75.  
  76. But: I don’t want you to overcome fear of failure.
  77. I want you to be afraid of failure.
  78. FEAR OF FAILURE IS GOOD.
  79. Fear of failure will keep you up at night, planning, rehearsing, going over contingencies.
  80. That is what I want you to be afraid of:
  81. Waking up in six days or six weeks or six years or SIXTY YEARS and being no closer to your goal … You have made NO PROGRESS.
  82. That is the horror. That is the nightmare. That is what you really need to be afraid of: Being stagnant.
  83.  
  84.  
  85. And The Warpath leads to control and to ownership of your life.
  86. That is The Warpath—the path of fire and adversity. The path of blood and sweat and suffering. The Warpath is the interminable path of discipline—
  87. which is why it leads to FREEDOM
  88.  
  89.  
  90. WRONG. DEAD WRONG.
  91. Those donuts aren’t food.
  92. THEY ARE POISON.
  93. Same with the chocolate chip cookies, the double Dutch chocolate cake, the can of soda, the bag of potato chips, and the pretzel-wrapped hot dogs.
  94. All that junk isn’t food. It doesn’t fuel you. It kills you. It literally kills you.
  95. It isn’t going to make you stronger, faster, healthier, smarter, or better.
  96. It’s going to do the opposite.
  97. And you know this. You know you
  98. DO NOT NEED ANY OF THAT JUNK.
  99. Unless you have gone an extended period of time without food, you don’t need to eat.
  100. And you definitely don’t need to eat that poison.
  101. YOU DON’T NEED TO EAT.
  102.  
  103.  
  104. This is the instinct that says: You can rest now.
  105. Do not listen to that instinct.
  106. DO NOT LISTEN.
  107. Because that instinct is a liar and wants to bring you down.
  108. You see, this instinct is a defense mechanism for your ego.
  109. It gives you an out—a place to run to.
  110. A place of sympathy and amnesty, where all can be forgiven.
  111. Where failures gather together in comfort and drown their sorrows in lies and deception.
  112. They tell each other—and they tell you: “You did the best you could…” and “The deck was stacked against you…” and “It’s not your fault…”
  113. And so they tell you: It’s okay to stop—it’s okay to settle. IT’S OKAY TO GIVE UP.
  114. DO NOT TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT. Do not give up based on instinct. If you are forced to stand down—to retreat so that you can rebuild and re-attack—so be it. But make that decision based on logic—not on the instinct of surrender and defeat. Destroy that instinct.
  115. Replace it with the instinct that says:
  116. GET UP. GO. FIGHT ON.
  117.  
  118.  
  119. Don’t really want to get up and get out of bed?
  120. I GET UP AND GET OUT OF BED.
  121. Now—these could be signals that you need some time off—and those signals might be right.
  122. BUT—don’t take today off. Wait until tomorrow. Don’t give in to the immediate gratification that is whispering in your ear.
  123. SHUT THAT DOWN. DO NOT LISTEN.
  124. Instead: Go through the motions. Lift the weights. Sprint the hill. Work on the project. GET OUT OF BED.
  125. I don’t like procrastination. But if you feel like you need a break—that is one thing you should procrastinate.
  126. Taking a break is the one thing I put off until tomorrow.
  127. And if—when tomorrow comes—you still feel like you need rest or you need a break—then go ahead: Take it.
  128. Chances are you won’t—you won’t need that rest.
  129. Chances are you will realize that the desire to rest was just weakness—it was the desire to take the path of least resistance—the downhill path—the downward path.
  130.  
  131.  
  132. But the fact is: You don’t get that chance. You get one shot.
  133. We get one shot at this gig right here: Life. One life—that’s all we’ve got.
  134. And the most important thing to understand about regret is that in and of itself, regret is worthless. It does nothing for you.
  135. In fact: The only thing valuable in regret is the lesson you learned.
  136. The knowledge you gained.
  137. But walking around filled with regret gets you nothing.
  138. So. Learn and move on.
  139. Don’t let regret beat you down. Don’t be a slave to regret.
  140.                NO.
  141.  
  142.  
  143. But, sometimes, in day-to-day life, you can lose track of the long-term goal. It fades from your vision. It slips from your mind.
  144. WRONG.
  145. I want that long-term goal to be so embedded in my mind, that I never lose sight of it.
  146. EVER.
  147. You lost sight of the long-term goal. And it faded. It faded from memory and the passion dried up and you began to rationalize:
  148. Maybe I can’t. Maybe I don’t really want to.
  149. Maybe this goal isn’t for me.
  150.  
  151.  
  152. So the battle, the struggle—the hesitation—takes place in that moment.
  153. That moment, when we must step into the unknown—that moment filled with fear and horror.
  154. And that fear is what causes hesitation—and hesitation causes defeat.
  155. HESITATION IS THE ENEMY.
  156. Hesitation allows the moment to pass, the opportunity to be lost, the enemy to get the upper hand. Hesitation turns into cowardice. It stops us from moving forward, from taking initiative, from executing what we know we must.
  157. Hesitation defeats us. So we must defeat it.
  158. To win, all you have to do is overcome that moment: The Waiting. The Hesitation. And to do that, all you have to do is: Go. Move. Take the action. Get out of bed. Get your feet on the ground. Step forward.
  159.  
  160.  
  161. NO MORE
  162.  
  163. No more.
  164. No more.
  165. NO MORE.
  166. No more excuses.
  167. No more: “I’ll start tomorrow.”
  168. No more: “Just this once.”
  169. No more accepting the shortfalls of my own will.
  170. No more taking the easy road.
  171. No more bowing down to whatever unhealthy or unproductive thoughts
  172. float through my mind.
  173. No.
  174. No more.
  175. No more waiting for the perfect moment
  176. and no more indecision
  177. and no more lies.
  178. No more weakness.
  179. No.
  180. No more.
  181. Now is the time for strength.
  182. And through strength—
  183. and through will—
  184. and through unwavering discipline—
  185. I will become what I want to be.
  186. I will become who I want to be.
  187. And then—and only then—will I rest and say:
  188.                              No more.
  189.  
  190.  
  191. Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You won’t be.
  192. Don’t count on motivation.
  193. Count on Discipline.
  194. You know what you have to do.
  195. So:
  196. MAKE YOURSELF DO IT.
  197. You do that with Discipline.
  198. Everyone wants some magic pill—some life hack—that eliminates the need to do the work.
  199. But that does not exist.
  200. No.
  201. You have to do the work.
  202. You’ve got to hold the line.
  203. You’ve got to MAKE IT HAPPEN.
  204. So.
  205. Dig in.
  206. Find the Discipline.
  207.    Be the Discipline.
  208. ACCOMPLISH.
  209.  
  210.  
  211.  
  212. DO NOT LET THEM BRING YOU DOWN.
  213. Instead, let these challenges raise you up—let them elevate you.
  214. Let their demands and their trials make you stronger—let the adversity you face today turn you into a better person tomorrow.
  215. So in the future, you look back at these struggles and you say to them:
  216. Thank you—
  217. you made me better.
  218.  
  219.  
  220.  
  221. Engage.
  222. Weakness is strong.
  223. I must be stronger.
  224. I must crush it into submission.
  225. Through force of will.
  226. So. I savage the body.
  227. I push and pull and fight against gravity.
  228.  
  229.  
  230.  
  231. DO WHAT YOU CAN.
  232. If you are sick or injured, don’t use that as an excuse to skip workouts or stay in bed all day.
  233. Do what you can.
