YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR MINDSET - Powerful Motivational Speech 2025

You cannot allow your mind to open up for the possibility of it can be done. You know, very few people bet on the underdog. Mhm. But if you would have, you would have won big. And that happened to be we us. We bet on on oursel. Basically, two kinds of people in life. They're winners and they're losers. And the definition is this. Losers take things that happen to them and that they feel inside that suck and they wallow. They use it for self or outward destruction. Winners take whatever they feel, feel it, and they transmute it into things that are good for themselves and for the world. We are 100% responsible for our lives. There's somebody out there training every day. Mhm. And when you meet, they will win. And the only message I want to get across to people is once you change one thing, your mindset, rest at the end, not in the middle. But I love this question, which is, what would you do if you weren't afraid? You put so much practice into you that you can ignore every one of them that are telling you you're not going toing make it and still be able toing make it because you have put the practice in that you know this is the process. It's such a daunting task that all the voices are saying no but you still have the conviction that I know I can do this. I always thought joy was, oh, I get this and then I'm happy or I do this and then I'm happy or I get her and then I'm happy or I make that and then I'm happy or they respect me and then I'm happy or I always thought happiness was to be acquired by the things I would gain from life. That's why I was always grabbing. If I knew early on that happiness actually is in me offering all of my suffering up for other people as some as an instructive thing or as something that could benefit man then I may be would have lived my life differently. Um so I guess the question I would ask anybody is how do you how do you use your suffering to tap into your joy? [Music] The story of Abraham's very cool story cuz Abraham's like 80 years old living in his father's tent. talk about failure to launch. And God shows up one day and says, "You have to leave everything you know and journey out into the unknown." And you think, "Well, what is that?" Well, that's the call to adventure. That's what it is, man. He's thinking, "Things are pretty good in that tent." But, well, he goes on this tremendous adventure. And then he's the forefather of of, you know, biblically speaking, half the people on the planet. He has this tremendous adventure. Think, well, what do you set against the suffering of your life? Well, the adventure of your life, that's what you set against it. It's not safety. You forget about that. There's no safety for mortals. That's for sure. And besides safety, that's what you want. You don't want that. You want adventure. The rain's been coming down a bit this morning, and it would be the perfect excuse to not go for the run. And that's exactly why I'm out here. Because when keeping your promises becomes more difficult and you keep the promise anyways, you are more and more resilient to the external world. I don't want luck and circumstance defining what I think of myself. So a change in the weather is not going to define my ability to keep a promise. I define that. Look in my insecurities and in my fear and find drive in that. We're all looking for passion. Passion is all around you. You have a whole a wholeing stack of it all around you. It's your insecurities. All that [ __ ] You got to dive deep in that. All it's all in there. All the energy and fuel you need is right in yourself. It's all there. You got a lot of stuff to do to overcome. And you know, that's where I found it. I found it right there in my own insecurities. I found drive in my own insecurities. And that's that's the most powerful thing in the world. When you can find drive in your own doubt, fear, insecurities, you become very unstoppable. The most underrated superpower of any elite athlete is their ability to do it. Anyways, you're tired. You want to stay in bed. You want to skip the last few reps. You want to not put up the extra shots. You don't want to meal prep or eat the food that fuels your body. You don't want to stretch. That's great. You don't have to want to do it. The superpower comes from doing it anyways. You just do it. That's what separates the good from the great. I'm not searching for happiness. I'm searching for peace. So my state of what what I'm aiming for, I would say it is peace. Because happiness for me are taken by this word. If there's happiness, there is sadness. If something can rise, something must fall. If you can attain something, there's something to lose. That's why it's difficult. That's why I I stop the moment. I don't know what type of happiness you mean. Being satisfied with where I am standing. Yes. Does it mean that I don't have hard moments? I have hard moments. And that's why for me, like what is it I ultimately look for? I would call it is just peace. Who you are when no one's watching, that's the version that matters the most. Not the one people praise, but the one that shows up when no one cares. That's the version that builds legacy. Because the work that counts the most is the work that no one sees. And if you can win in the dark, the light will take care of itself. The easiest thing in life is to give up. Whatever you're focused on or whatever you're hopeful for, the hardest thing is to keep going. But we have to we have to continue to hold on, continue to keep your head up, continuing to to march on ahead towards your dream and never losing sight of that and not being distracted, not giving up. Somewhere inside you, that 9-year-old kid is still watching. That 9-year-old who dreamt big and far ahead, the 90-year-old version of you is watching, too. The one who knows how fast it all goes would give everything for one more chance. They're both looking at you right now. The 9-year-old wants to believe in you and the 90-year-old wants to be proud. If they both smile at who you're becoming, then keep going. You're making it count. They threw everything at me. They did everything they could to try and get me off of track, to distract me, to take my mind off of the task at hand. And I never let that happen. There's nothing more supreme than confidence. Confidence breeds success, and success breeds confidence. Applied properly, you're inconquerable. You have to believe in yourself. You have to believe that you're here for a purpose to enrich the world. Your destiny is in your mouth, in your mind. Once you receive that that level of confident, it was surpass. They say you don't meet your true self until you're exhausted because comfort hides the truth. But exhaustion drags it into the light. And what you find there, it's everything you've been avoiding. But it's you. The real you. The one stripped of ego. Nowhere else to run, nowhere else to be except in the moment. And this is the inflection point. When the demons show up, are you the one who can stare darkness in the face and say, "I hear you, but you don't get to decide." Or do you fold? Because when everything inside you screams quit, and you take one more rep, one more step, that's the real you. And that's where greatness lives. Not you shackled your mind to have limits and everybody has a limit but find it first. I find it at times but what happens is I then figure out how to get around it through it above it climb over it on that like limit of like I'm there. I'm there. I'm there. I'm there. Okay. I failed but I was right there. What did I miss? What the did I miss? Oh, that's what I convinced. And then it happens.
