Mental toughness is a lot different than motivation. 'Cause if I said right now, everybody in here, everybody, we're all gonna run a half marathon in 5 days. All of us. And we're all going, "Yeah!" And we're getting fired up. And I say, yeah! We're gonna start tomorrow at 5 AM! And everyone's hugging each other. "Yes! 5 AM." We leave. 5 AM comes. It's dark. It's cold. Our bed is comfortable. It's hard to get motivated at 5 in the morning. And maybe you do it one day, But again? And again? You gotta go do it again and again? That is the X-ray vision. It's seeing through your broken bones to get to your goal. You have to train your brain by doing things that make you uncomfortable consistently. To build this mindset that when things get hard, which they will be, we don't shy away, we don't quit, we attack. I'm seeing through all those walls. I'm getting to where I wanna go. See I've learned, everybody on the...

 What if you give it everything you have and you come up short? What if you get weak along the way and you throw in the towel on yourself, you surrender to your emotions, what then? Everybody tripping through something. Everybody. I don't care who you are, you going through something. But your great life is in front of you. It's not behind you. What you did back there ain't got nothing to do with what god got for you. What you did back there was learn the lessons to get you to where you are at this particular moment right here. Maybe being weary doesn't mean you're weak. We're in hell right now. And we can stay here, get the sh*t kicked out of us or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell. One inch at a time. It's okay to fall. Because when you fall, you get back up. What I need you to do, is I need you to find a reason to keep going. And if you can find a reason to keep going, I know you're strong enough to do it 'cause yo...

I dare you to work on yourself for 6 months. I dare you to shut out the world. I dare you to to shut out all of the distractions. I dare you to to give up everything that is keeping you from your dream. Every day I wake up, I got all kind of demands, you got all kind of demands, and the reason why you're not where you wanna be, you taking all other people's stuff before you spend enough time with yourself to get to know you and get to know what you want and what you should do. Come on y'all, y'all heard it a million times, in case of an emergency, put the doggone mask on yourself first. And the problem with most of y'all in this room, you giving it to everybody else first. And then you pissed when you give it to everybody else first and you come up short and you wondering why you came up short, 'cause you gave it to everybody else first. Take care of you. In order to have unbelievable options and choices in your life, in your pursuit of your dream you must elimi...

There's a kind of instinct that you need to be on the lookout for, and this one is a liar. This one is a saboteur. This one is a backbiter. This is the instinct that says you've had enough. You've given it your best shot. You can stand down. You can back off. You can rest now. Do not listen to that instinct. Do not listen. And that is the instinct you need to fight, you need to push back, to smash into the ground. Train that instinct. Train it to say get up. Go. Fight on. If you don't punish yourself, it's never gonna happen. If you don't punish yourself, somebody said, you losing weight. I punish myself. I don't eat meat no more, that's a punishment. I had to give something up to go up. What do you give up? Do you not watch TV? That's your problem. You getting to watch TV and not make money and still survive. The reason why you broke is because you're getting a reward and you ain't working. You gotta stop playing. Most of you, what happens i...
