00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:00.540
All right.
00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:01.139
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.139 --> 00:00:01.709
Let's get it.
00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:04.200
I read a powerful quote today, man.
00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:05.309
I just want to share with you.
00:00:05.309 --> 00:00:05.940
I love it.
00:00:06.349 --> 00:00:10.820
Benjamin Hardy said it's better for you to lose to your future self.
00:00:11.329 --> 00:00:12.468
Then your current self.
00:00:13.369 --> 00:00:15.529
Do what a powerful mantra that is.
00:00:16.010 --> 00:00:17.480
It's a great thought.
00:00:18.050 --> 00:00:19.160
To harness.
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.410
Especially when you're facing.
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.410
One of the three problems in your life today.
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.989
The three problems we all face, which is the name of this podcast is adversity.
00:00:30.379 --> 00:00:31.280
Uncertainty.
00:00:31.730 --> 00:00:32.719
And complacency.
00:00:33.770 --> 00:00:34.909
You're facing one more.
00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:35.899
All of them today.
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:37.729
So here's how I see it.
00:00:39.469 --> 00:00:40.848
If I'm going to lose today.
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.890
Let it be to the man that I'm becoming, not the man that I am.
00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:47.959
Think about this.
00:00:48.709 --> 00:00:50.810
See if I lose to my current self.
00:00:51.469 --> 00:00:57.618
I regress for instance, if I'm at point C today, And I do a little bit less, like skip a workout.
00:00:58.009 --> 00:00:59.750
Stay out late with fellows and drink.
00:01:00.109 --> 00:01:01.459
Or slack off at work.
00:01:02.179 --> 00:01:06.659
I dropped from a C to a B and it seems very subtle.
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.659
Doesn't seem like it adds up to much.
00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:11.129
It's even fractional.
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:12.090
It's so subtle.
00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:13.230
You don't even notice it.
00:01:13.769 --> 00:01:15.390
But see those fractions.
00:01:16.829 --> 00:01:19.379
Of skip workouts, staying out late.
00:01:19.649 --> 00:01:20.819
Slacking off at work.
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:22.620
They're fractional in the moment.
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.959
But when you put them all together, It becomes a whole loss.
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.769
These are those all of the sudden moments, we've all had them.
00:01:31.769 --> 00:01:37.799
These are dreaded and then all of the sudden days are the days when you finally take notice.
00:01:38.308 --> 00:01:39.599
That your waistline grew.
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:41.650
Your relationships crumbled.
00:01:42.409 --> 00:01:43.879
your skills have stagnated.
00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:46.290
Your bank account is dry.
00:01:47.189 --> 00:01:49.739
And your credit card debt is large.
00:01:51.269 --> 00:01:52.349
Didn't happen overnight.
00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:54.060
It happened over time.
00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:55.469
Fractional.
00:01:56.790 --> 00:01:57.810
And they happened.
00:01:59.099 --> 00:02:00.629
Because we got into the habit.
00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:03.359
Of losing to our current self.
00:02:04.829 --> 00:02:07.260
But if you lose to your future self.
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.840
If you're constantly improving.
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:11.669
Stretching every day.
00:02:11.669 --> 00:02:13.650
Uh, focusing on the future.
00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:15.990
Means that you're in alignment.
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.000
You know where you're going.
00:02:18.810 --> 00:02:20.280
You know, who you want to become.
00:02:21.930 --> 00:02:24.120
And it leaves no room to your current self.
00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:27.330
So, whether you're facing adversity.
00:02:28.110 --> 00:02:29.460
Or uncertainty today.
00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:30.539
Confront it.
00:02:31.379 --> 00:02:32.430
Don't let these things lie.
00:02:32.430 --> 00:02:32.939
Dormant.
00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:34.830
Because.
00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:37.139
It seems like nothing's happening.
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.270
It seems like you got away with it.
00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:41.610
But they come back.
00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:45.840
And when they come back, they come back compounded and even stronger.
00:02:46.979 --> 00:02:48.479
So take it upon yourself.
00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:51.150
To be curious, ask questions.
00:02:51.150 --> 00:02:55.770
Don't make statements to be creative in the moment when you're confronting these situations.
00:02:56.250 --> 00:02:58.139
Don't wait for anyone to come help you.
00:02:58.770 --> 00:03:00.120
No one's coming to help you.
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.490
Everybody's trying to save their own ass.
00:03:02.699 --> 00:03:03.719
Save your own ass.
00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:04.830
It's your problem.
00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:06.090
You deal with it.
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.979
And if you're feeling complacent, this is why it's so crucial to work a process every single day.
00:03:12.490 --> 00:03:13.900
I bang the drum on it.
00:03:14.110 --> 00:03:16.479
It's so simple to just put a few things.
00:03:17.229 --> 00:03:18.610
That bring maximum impact.
00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:20.590
It leaves no room for negotiation.
00:03:20.830 --> 00:03:24.729
So even on the days that you ain't feeling it, you got the don't wants.
00:03:24.849 --> 00:03:25.569
I get it.
00:03:26.229 --> 00:03:28.000
But you could still check the boxes.
00:03:28.539 --> 00:03:33.219
Do a few things that take care of your relationships, just touch.
00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:37.689
Your health, your wellbeing, your finances, your career.
00:03:38.050 --> 00:03:39.069
Just a few.
00:03:40.270 --> 00:03:41.530
Daily actions.
00:03:42.939 --> 00:03:44.650
Can bring maximum impact.
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.879
In doing so it builds character.
00:03:48.539 --> 00:03:49.949
And keeps the momentum flowing.
00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:55.599
And even if you take an L today, Let it be to your future self.
00:03:56.409 --> 00:03:57.550
Not your current self.
00:03:58.360 --> 00:03:59.289
All right, let's get outta here.
00:03:59.349 --> 00:04:00.909
Thanks for sharing today's episode.
00:04:00.909 --> 00:04:12.639
Share this one episode with someone who needs it, someone who ain't feeling it today, someone who's dealing with some adversity, some uncertainty are, they just haven't gotten their day going.
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.650
Don't seem to be getting their month going.
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:16.149
Share this with them.
00:04:16.300 --> 00:04:16.750
All right.
00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:17.920
Let's get out of here.
00:04:17.949 --> 00:04:22.360
Remember the greatest sale that you will ever make is to sell you own you because you're more than enough.
00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:23.379
Keep it simple.
00:04:23.470 --> 00:04:24.310
Keep it moving.
00:04:24.339 --> 00:04:25.120
Never settle.
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.319
Stay tough peace
00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:00.540
All right.
00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:01.139
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.139 --> 00:00:01.709
Let's get it.
00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:04.200

Uncertainty.

00:02:32.430 --> 00:02:32.939
Dormant.

Let's get out of here.
00:04:17.949 --> 00:04:22.360
Remember the greatest sale that you will ever make is to sell you own you because you're more than enough.
00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:23.379
Keep it simple.
00:04:23.470 --> 00:04:24.310
Keep it moving.
00:04:24.339 --> 00:04:25.120
Never settle.
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.319
Stay tough peace
