Thanks so much for coming back to What’s Your Problem?—the podcast that’s ranked in the top 3% in the world! I’m Marsh Buice, and today we’re talking about 7 Million Ways to Win in 90 Days.
This episode is all about helping you take control of those small, critical moments—the seconds that determine whether you push forward or give up. Life isn’t built on days, weeks, or years. It’s built on seconds. And I’ll show you how to win them.
Here’s what you’ll get from today’s episode:
- The life-changing power of the one-second decision and how to use it to stay in control.
- Why most people quit right before their breakthrough—and how to push past it.
- The connection between David Goggins’ one-second decision and Mel Robbins’ Five-Second Rule.
- A practical strategy to take a mental knee, reset, and get back in the fight.
- How 7.7 million seconds over 90 days can completely reshape your future if you win them.
I’ll also share one of my favorite quotes from Napoleon Hill:
"Every successful person finds that great success lies just beyond the point when they're convinced that their idea is not going to work."
By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to face life’s toughest moments head-on—and win.
Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough. Let’s get it!

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.269
All right.
00:00:00.299 --> 00:00:00.929
3, 2, 1.
00:00:00.929 --> 00:00:01.350
Let's get it.
00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:02.939
Welcome back to what's your problem?
00:00:02.939 --> 00:00:03.750
The podcast.
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:05.639
I'm your host Marsh Buice and today.
00:00:06.059 --> 00:00:08.070
I want to talk about something simple.
00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:10.439
But incredibly powerful.
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:12.539
And that's the one second decision.
00:00:13.109 --> 00:00:17.820
And this idea has the potential to transform the way that you approach your challenges.
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.079
Your setbacks and even accomplish.
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:23.670
Your biggest goals.
00:00:23.939 --> 00:00:27.210
So let's get right into it and to set the stage, man.
00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:30.030
I want to give you a quote from David Goggins book.
00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:31.500
Never finished.
00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:32.789
Excellent book.
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:35.130
That's a no brainer.
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:37.799
I love all his books.
00:00:38.009 --> 00:00:44.579
I really love listening to his books or reading his books and just cracking in and reading just a chapter out of it.
00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:54.509
So I've read the book cover to cover several times, but then I like from time to time when I feel I can get a little soft, a little big lips feeling a little bit of, sorry for myself.
00:00:54.539 --> 00:00:55.649
I like to crack open.
00:00:56.009 --> 00:00:56.700
A chapter.
00:00:57.250 --> 00:01:01.670
And a quote that really stood out for me, which is the context of this episode.
00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:03.728
Many dreams die.
00:01:04.390 --> 00:01:05.198
While suffering.
00:01:05.769 --> 00:01:08.739
That's what he wrote many dreams die while suffering.
00:01:09.009 --> 00:01:10.299
And think about that for a second.
00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:14.500
Most of our dreams, don't fail because they're impossible.
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:20.079
They fail because when things get tough, We quit.
00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:22.299
And here's the reality.
00:01:23.228 --> 00:01:25.810
Dreams are easy to create a moments of comfort.
00:01:26.649 --> 00:01:28.629
But when the suffering begins.
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.969
When the shit hits the fan.
00:01:31.299 --> 00:01:32.980
That's when the real test begins.
00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:34.509
And too often.
00:01:34.989 --> 00:01:36.159
We give up right there.
00:01:37.509 --> 00:01:39.069
And we revert back.
00:01:40.118 --> 00:01:41.769
To the person we were before.
00:01:43.088 --> 00:01:44.349
Sounds real familiar.
00:01:44.829 --> 00:01:46.569
I've done that countless times.
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.649
And this is where the one-second decision comes in.
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.930
I love this whole concept.
00:01:53.530 --> 00:01:56.170
Goggins describes the one second decision.
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.519
As the ability to take control of your mind in that critical moment.
00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:02.739
When you're ready to give up.
00:02:03.430 --> 00:02:04.329
See, here's the thing.
00:02:04.390 --> 00:02:06.730
Life isn't measured in days.
00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:08.139
or years.
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.020
He says it's built on seconds.
00:02:11.969 --> 00:02:13.770
As an example during hell week.
00:02:14.219 --> 00:02:19.620
Goggins explains is not the hours of exhaustion or the freezing cold to break people.
00:02:20.729 --> 00:02:21.629
It's the one second.
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.520
The second, when the pain feels unbearable.
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.560
That their situation's going to be forever.
00:02:28.969 --> 00:02:29.930
And they decide.
00:02:30.770 --> 00:02:32.000
I can't take this anymore.
00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:34.520
But here's the good news.
00:02:35.210 --> 00:02:36.770
You can flip that moment.
00:02:37.490 --> 00:02:39.439
Instead of reacting emotionally.
00:02:40.129 --> 00:02:41.360
You can pause.
00:02:42.650 --> 00:02:43.729
Take a mental knee.
00:02:44.990 --> 00:02:46.069
And regain control.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.289
That's the power of the one second decision.
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:49.729
I mean, just think about that.
00:02:49.729 --> 00:02:50.990
Take a mental knee.
00:02:51.229 --> 00:02:52.550
So you just pause.
00:02:52.939 --> 00:02:54.439
You recenter yourself.
00:02:55.990 --> 00:02:57.159
You don't get out of the fight.
00:02:58.060 --> 00:02:59.050
And then you get back in it.
00:02:59.689 --> 00:03:01.849
So here's how you can use this in your own life.
00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:04.169
Number one pause.
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.479
. When you're at a state of overwhelm, Don't react.
00:03:09.050 --> 00:03:10.189
Just breathe.
00:03:10.969 --> 00:03:11.780
A lot of times.
00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:16.969
And when you bring an awareness to this, you're going to realize how many times you're actually holding your breath.
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:24.710
So when you, when you feel overwhelmed, One cadence that I always say is chop wood, carry water, chop wood, carry water.
00:03:24.710 --> 00:03:26.870
Meaning that said at that cadence.
00:03:27.169 --> 00:03:30.050
So just pause this, isn't going to be forever.
00:03:30.530 --> 00:03:32.780
A lot of times, it seems like it's going to be forever.
00:03:32.810 --> 00:03:33.469
It's not.
00:03:33.740 --> 00:03:34.879
So just pause.
00:03:35.389 --> 00:03:36.349
Don't react.
00:03:36.860 --> 00:03:37.759
Take a breath.
00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:41.149
And then ask yourself.
00:03:41.838 --> 00:03:42.979
If I quit now.
00:03:44.870 --> 00:03:45.889
Where will this leave me?
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.139
If you're tired of quitting.
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:49.879
Stop giving up.
00:03:51.289 --> 00:03:54.259
And you won't give up or you'll be less likely to give up.
00:03:55.009 --> 00:03:56.659
When you take this pause.
00:03:57.379 --> 00:03:58.430
You recenter.
00:03:58.729 --> 00:04:01.338
You remind yourself this isn't going to be forever.
00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:03.560
It could be just a little bit of a season.
00:04:03.829 --> 00:04:06.599
You're not going to die from this your dreams.
00:04:08.394 --> 00:04:09.819
then if I quit now, man.
00:04:13.859 --> 00:04:15.000
what happened from here?
00:04:16.168 --> 00:04:16.860
Goggin said.
00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:22.800
So many cadets that rang the bell and didn't finish hell week because they quit in the second.
00:04:24.449 --> 00:04:26.250
Many of those people gave up on life.
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.069
Many of them sadly took their own lives.
00:04:29.728 --> 00:04:32.129
Because they, they just regretted it.
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.209
And sometimes, man, we want to comfort now.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.029
But the comfort is so fleeting.
00:04:38.509 --> 00:04:39.709
It's so fast.
00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:41.779
But the regrets man.
00:04:42.529 --> 00:04:43.610
It was last forever.
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:52.160
So when you take that mental knee and ask yourself if I quit now, Where's this go where's this leave me.
00:04:53.769 --> 00:04:58.639
And if I make this decision, Is this decision aligned.
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:00.889
With the life that I want to build.
00:05:02.269 --> 00:05:02.569
All right.
00:05:02.569 --> 00:05:05.420
So if I quit, am I building it or tearing it down?
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.089
And my reverting back to comfort.
00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:11.129
Complacency, the person always was.
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.129
Because dude, it's going to require a fight.
00:05:14.939 --> 00:05:15.660
It is.
00:05:15.930 --> 00:05:17.730
They're going to be things you didn't forecast.
00:05:17.970 --> 00:05:19.740
They're going to be things that don't go your way.
00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:21.480
There are going to be uncertainty.
00:05:21.509 --> 00:05:23.069
There's going to be scare moments.
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.439
It's all wrapped up in that.
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.170
But see, you got to break through that inertia.
00:05:28.529 --> 00:05:30.629
To come out the other side and you will.
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.670
This is why you got to push forward, which is the third point.
00:05:35.670 --> 00:05:37.779
So you're going to pause, take a mental knee.
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.680
Second thing is you're going to ask yourself.
00:05:42.069 --> 00:05:43.959
If I quit now, where's this going to lead me?
00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:45.430
Has this play out?
00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:47.829
And then push forward.
00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:49.870
Don't quit when it's hardest.
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:51.939
That's when your emotions are high.
00:05:52.449 --> 00:05:53.709
And your logic is low.
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:55.779
Wait until you're calm.
00:05:56.829 --> 00:05:57.699
Before you make.
00:05:58.089 --> 00:05:58.990
Big decisions.
00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:03.579
Always say, never make a decision when you're in a valley experience.
00:06:04.029 --> 00:06:05.230
Wait till you're at the top.
00:06:05.949 --> 00:06:07.629
Don't quit when you're at the bottom.
00:06:07.899 --> 00:06:08.560
Don't quit.
00:06:08.589 --> 00:06:10.060
When you're at the lowest don't quit.
00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:13.870
When you're most frustrated, your emotions are high logic's out the window.
00:06:14.170 --> 00:06:15.129
Take a mental knee.
00:06:15.670 --> 00:06:16.660
Recalibrate.
00:06:18.339 --> 00:06:21.399
Where's this lead push off this ain't going to be forever.
00:06:22.779 --> 00:06:26.050
This leads me to one of my favorite quotes from Napoleon hill.
00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:33.790
He says every successful person finds that great success lies just beyond the point when they're convinced that their idea's not going to work.
00:06:35.139 --> 00:06:36.250
Think about that for a second.
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:37.629
Most people quit.
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.959
Right before the breakthrough.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.439
That's why the one second decision is so powerful.
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:46.660
Is what's going to keep you in the fight.
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.129
Long enough.
00:06:49.209 --> 00:06:50.829
To reach the breakthrough moment.
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.230
So here's, what's liberating.
00:06:53.889 --> 00:06:57.160
Like I said earlier, Nothing stays the same.
00:06:58.180 --> 00:07:00.339
You know, you can't go through life undefeated.
00:07:01.089 --> 00:07:03.149
Why do you feel , that you're going to stay defeated?
00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:04.259
Nothing stays the same.
00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:06.720
Unless you reinforce it unless you make it.
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:07.050
So.
00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:13.170
So nothing stays the same, whatever struggle that you're in right now is not going to last forever.
00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:16.199
And your only job right now.
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:18.990
is to win this second that's it.
00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:24.839
And then when the next, and then when the next see, when you pair the one second decision.
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.079
With Mel Robbins, five second rule.
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:29.699
She wrote a whole damn book about it.
00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:32.759
This is what's going to create a winning formula for you.
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:34.379
The five second rule.
00:07:35.550 --> 00:07:36.750
Beats the hesitation.
00:07:37.350 --> 00:07:40.439
You count down from five to one and before you get to one.
00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:42.899
You bust a move, you take action.
00:07:43.209 --> 00:07:45.309
So that keeps you from hesitation.
00:07:45.668 --> 00:07:47.139
The one second decision.
00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:49.418
Is what keeps you from quitting?
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.750
It helps you stay in control when things get tough.
00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:54.819
You don't have to win every second.
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.559
But if you win a majority of them, You're going to build momentum.
00:08:00.158 --> 00:08:01.089
Resilience.
00:08:01.509 --> 00:08:02.319
And confidence.
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.589
That's the only way you get those things is by taking action.
00:08:06.189 --> 00:08:08.019
And continuing to go.
00:08:09.129 --> 00:08:10.418
So here's my challenge to you.
00:08:12.038 --> 00:08:13.418
For the next 90 days.
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:22.418
Focus on just winning the seconds, just in that second, when you feel overwhelmed, pause where's this lead push off.
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:23.408
All right.
00:08:23.829 --> 00:08:28.959
So in that 90 days, That's 7.7 million opportunities.
00:08:30.220 --> 00:08:31.418
To make better choices.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.129
To build your baseline.
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.860
And shape your future seven.
00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:37.960
Million opportunities.
00:08:38.168 --> 00:08:40.600
There's 86,400 seconds in a day.
00:08:41.710 --> 00:08:42.940
Times 90 days.
00:08:43.659 --> 00:08:46.000
Is 7.7 million opportunities.
00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:47.700
Do the math.
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.389
So you got 7.7.
00:08:50.389 --> 00:08:51.769
How cool is that?
00:08:51.769 --> 00:08:52.909
I just got to win the second.
00:08:53.269 --> 00:08:54.500
I've got to get overwhelmed.
00:08:54.740 --> 00:08:55.909
I don't have to worry about tomorrow.
00:08:55.909 --> 00:08:57.649
The Bible says don't even worry about tomorrow.
00:08:57.950 --> 00:09:00.950
All I got to do is when the second, when the decision.
00:09:01.309 --> 00:09:02.059
Go to the next thing.
00:09:02.090 --> 00:09:07.129
And when you do this thing, Is this going to build that momentum, that confidence.
00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:11.000
And dude, this bleeds over to other areas.
00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:19.340
If you think about when you're losing in life, many times, it's not just in one area, many times it begins to bleed on to other other areas.
00:09:19.700 --> 00:09:22.700
But also on the flip side of this, this is what's great.
00:09:22.700 --> 00:09:24.200
When you're winning in life.
00:09:24.950 --> 00:09:27.230
That bleeds on the other areas too.
00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:29.090
You just got to reverse course.
00:09:29.929 --> 00:09:32.299
You got plenty of time, but you don't have a second to lose.
00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:33.679
So win the seconds.
00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:36.240
And when life gets tough.
00:09:37.049 --> 00:09:38.940
Just take a mental knee pause.
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.590
Recalibrate recenter, make sure you're aligned.
00:09:43.860 --> 00:09:46.230
Is this building toward the life I want.
00:09:47.009 --> 00:09:47.909
And then push off.
00:09:48.690 --> 00:09:50.350
Forward success.
00:09:50.350 --> 00:09:51.159
Doesn't come.
00:09:52.389 --> 00:09:54.789
From this one big swing.
00:09:54.850 --> 00:09:55.389
It doesn't.
00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:59.649
It comes from one tiny second at a time.
00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:03.700
Coupled with another and another and another.
00:10:04.899 --> 00:10:06.850
Just go back to Napoleon Hill's words.
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:08.980
Great success.
00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:11.169
Lies just beyond the point.
00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:12.730
When you're convinced.
00:10:13.269 --> 00:10:14.529
That is not going to work.
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:15.789
All right.
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.720
Let's get out of here.
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:17.320
Keep it simple.
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:17.919
Keep it moving.
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:18.460
Never settle.
00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:19.419
State tough peace.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.269
All right.
00:00:00.299 --> 00:00:00.929
3, 2, 1.
00:00:00.929 --> 00:00:01.350
Let's get it.
00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:02.939
Welcome back to what's your problem?
00:00:02.939 --> 00:00:03.750
The podcast.
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:05.639
I'm your host Marsh Buice and today.
00:00:06.059 --> 00:00:08.070
I want to talk about something simple.
00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:10.439
But incredibly powerful.
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:12.539
And that's the one second decision.
00:00:13.109 --> 00:00:17.820
And this idea has the potential to transform the way that you approach your challenges.
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.079
Your setbacks and even accomplish.
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:23.670
Your biggest goals.
00:00:23.939 --> 00:00:27.210
So let's get right into it and to set the stage, man.
00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:30.030
I want to give you a quote from David Goggins book.
00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:31.500
Never finished.
00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:32.789
Excellent book.
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:35.130
That's a no brainer.
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:37.799
I love all his books.
00:00:38.009 --> 00:00:44.579
I really love listening to his books or reading his books and just cracking in and reading just a chapter out of it.
00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:54.509
So I've read the book cover to cover several times, but then I like from time to time when I feel I can get a little soft, a little big lips feeling a little bit of, sorry for myself.
00:00:54.539 --> 00:00:55.649
I like to crack open.
00:00:56.009 --> 00:00:56.700
A chapter.
00:00:57.250 --> 00:01:01.670
And a quote that really stood out for me, which is the context of this episode.
00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:03.728
Many dreams die.
00:01:04.390 --> 00:01:05.198
While suffering.
00:01:05.769 --> 00:01:08.739
That's what he wrote many dreams die while suffering.
00:01:09.009 --> 00:01:10.299
And think about that for a second.
00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:14.500
Most of our dreams, don't fail because they're impossible.
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:20.079
They fail because when things get tough, We quit.
00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:22.299
And here's the reality.
00:01:23.228 --> 00:01:25.810
Dreams are easy to create a moments of comfort.
00:01:26.649 --> 00:01:28.629
But when the suffering begins.
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.969
When the shit hits the fan.
00:01:31.299 --> 00:01:32.980
That's when the real test begins.
00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:34.509
And too often.
00:01:34.989 --> 00:01:36.159
We give up right there.
00:01:37.509 --> 00:01:39.069
And we revert back.
00:01:40.118 --> 00:01:41.769
To the person we were before.
00:01:43.088 --> 00:01:44.349
Sounds real familiar.
00:01:44.829 --> 00:01:46.569
I've done that countless times.
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.649
And this is where the one-second decision comes in.
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.930
I love this whole concept.
00:01:53.530 --> 00:01:56.170
Goggins describes the one second decision.
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.519
As the ability to take control of your mind in that critical moment.
00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:02.739
When you're ready to give up.
00:02:03.430 --> 00:02:04.329
See, here's the thing.
00:02:04.390 --> 00:02:06.730
Life isn't measured in days.
00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:08.139
or years.
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.020
He says it's built on seconds.
00:02:11.969 --> 00:02:13.770
As an example during hell week.
00:02:14.219 --> 00:02:19.620
Goggins explains is not the hours of exhaustion or the freezing cold to break people.
00:02:20.729 --> 00:02:21.629
It's the one second.
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.520
The second, when the pain feels unbearable.
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.560
That their situation's going to be forever.
00:02:28.969 --> 00:02:29.930
And they decide.
00:02:30.770 --> 00:02:32.000
I can't take this anymore.
00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:34.520
But here's the good news.
00:02:35.210 --> 00:02:36.770
You can flip that moment.
00:02:37.490 --> 00:02:39.439
Instead of reacting emotionally.
00:02:40.129 --> 00:02:41.360
You can pause.
00:02:42.650 --> 00:02:43.729
Take a mental knee.
00:02:44.990 --> 00:02:46.069
And regain control.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.289
That's the power of the one second decision.
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:49.729
I mean, just think about that.
00:02:49.729 --> 00:02:50.990
Take a mental knee.
00:02:51.229 --> 00:02:52.550
So you just pause.
00:02:52.939 --> 00:02:54.439
You recenter yourself.
00:02:55.990 --> 00:02:57.159
You don't get out of the fight.
00:02:58.060 --> 00:02:59.050
And then you get back in it.
00:02:59.689 --> 00:03:01.849
So here's how you can use this in your own life.
00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:04.169
Number one pause.
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.479
. When you're at a state of overwhelm, Don't react.
00:03:09.050 --> 00:03:10.189
Just breathe.
00:03:10.969 --> 00:03:11.780
A lot of times.
00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:16.969
And when you bring an awareness to this, you're going to realize how many times you're actually holding your breath.
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:24.710
So when you, when you feel overwhelmed, One cadence that I always say is chop wood, carry water, chop wood, carry water.
00:03:24.710 --> 00:03:26.870
Meaning that said at that cadence.
00:03:27.169 --> 00:03:30.050
So just pause this, isn't going to be forever.
00:03:30.530 --> 00:03:32.780
A lot of times, it seems like it's going to be forever.
00:03:32.810 --> 00:03:33.469
It's not.
00:03:33.740 --> 00:03:34.879
So just pause.
00:03:35.389 --> 00:03:36.349
Don't react.
00:03:36.860 --> 00:03:37.759
Take a breath.
00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:41.149
And then ask yourself.
00:03:41.838 --> 00:03:42.979
If I quit now.
00:03:44.870 --> 00:03:45.889
Where will this leave me?
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.139
If you're tired of quitting.
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:49.879
Stop giving up.
00:03:51.289 --> 00:03:54.259
And you won't give up or you'll be less likely to give up.
00:03:55.009 --> 00:03:56.659
When you take this pause.
00:03:57.379 --> 00:03:58.430
You recenter.
00:03:58.729 --> 00:04:01.338
You remind yourself this isn't going to be forever.
00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:03.560
It could be just a little bit of a season.
00:04:03.829 --> 00:04:06.599
You're not going to die from this your dreams.
00:04:08.394 --> 00:04:09.819
then if I quit now, man.
00:04:13.859 --> 00:04:15.000
what happened from here?
00:04:16.168 --> 00:04:16.860
Goggin said.
00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:22.800
So many cadets that rang the bell and didn't finish hell week because they quit in the second.
00:04:24.449 --> 00:04:26.250
Many of those people gave up on life.
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.069
Many of them sadly took their own lives.
00:04:29.728 --> 00:04:32.129
Because they, they just regretted it.
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.209
And sometimes, man, we want to comfort now.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.029
But the comfort is so fleeting.
00:04:38.509 --> 00:04:39.709
It's so fast.
00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:41.779
But the regrets man.
00:04:42.529 --> 00:04:43.610
It was last forever.
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:52.160
So when you take that mental knee and ask yourself if I quit now, Where's this go where's this leave me.
00:04:53.769 --> 00:04:58.639
And if I make this decision, Is this decision aligned.
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:00.889
With the life that I want to build.
00:05:02.269 --> 00:05:02.569
All right.
00:05:02.569 --> 00:05:05.420
So if I quit, am I building it or tearing it down?
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.089
And my reverting back to comfort.
00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:11.129
Complacency, the person always was.
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.129
Because dude, it's going to require a fight.
00:05:14.939 --> 00:05:15.660
It is.
00:05:15.930 --> 00:05:17.730
They're going to be things you didn't forecast.
00:05:17.970 --> 00:05:19.740
They're going to be things that don't go your way.
00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:21.480
There are going to be uncertainty.
00:05:21.509 --> 00:05:23.069
There's going to be scare moments.
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.439
It's all wrapped up in that.
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.170
But see, you got to break through that inertia.
00:05:28.529 --> 00:05:30.629
To come out the other side and you will.
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.670
This is why you got to push forward, which is the third point.
00:05:35.670 --> 00:05:37.779
So you're going to pause, take a mental knee.
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.680
Second thing is you're going to ask yourself.
00:05:42.069 --> 00:05:43.959
If I quit now, where's this going to lead me?
00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:45.430
Has this play out?
00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:47.829
And then push forward.
00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:49.870
Don't quit when it's hardest.
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:51.939
That's when your emotions are high.
00:05:52.449 --> 00:05:53.709
And your logic is low.
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:55.779
Wait until you're calm.
00:05:56.829 --> 00:05:57.699
Before you make.
00:05:58.089 --> 00:05:58.990
Big decisions.
00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:03.579
Always say, never make a decision when you're in a valley experience.
00:06:04.029 --> 00:06:05.230
Wait till you're at the top.
00:06:05.949 --> 00:06:07.629
Don't quit when you're at the bottom.
00:06:07.899 --> 00:06:08.560
Don't quit.
00:06:08.589 --> 00:06:10.060
When you're at the lowest don't quit.
00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:13.870
When you're most frustrated, your emotions are high logic's out the window.
00:06:14.170 --> 00:06:15.129
Take a mental knee.
00:06:15.670 --> 00:06:16.660
Recalibrate.
00:06:18.339 --> 00:06:21.399
Where's this lead push off this ain't going to be forever.
00:06:22.779 --> 00:06:26.050
This leads me to one of my favorite quotes from Napoleon hill.
00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:33.790
He says every successful person finds that great success lies just beyond the point when they're convinced that their idea's not going to work.
00:06:35.139 --> 00:06:36.250
Think about that for a second.
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:37.629
Most people quit.
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.959
Right before the breakthrough.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.439
That's why the one second decision is so powerful.
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:46.660
Is what's going to keep you in the fight.
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.129
Long enough.
00:06:49.209 --> 00:06:50.829
To reach the breakthrough moment.
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.230
So here's, what's liberating.
00:06:53.889 --> 00:06:57.160
Like I said earlier, Nothing stays the same.
00:06:58.180 --> 00:07:00.339
You know, you can't go through life undefeated.
00:07:01.089 --> 00:07:03.149
Why do you feel , that you're going to stay defeated?
00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:04.259
Nothing stays the same.
00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:06.720
Unless you reinforce it unless you make it.
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:07.050
So.
00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:13.170
So nothing stays the same, whatever struggle that you're in right now is not going to last forever.
00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:16.199
And your only job right now.
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:18.990
is to win this second that's it.
00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:24.839
And then when the next, and then when the next see, when you pair the one second decision.
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.079
With Mel Robbins, five second rule.
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:29.699
She wrote a whole damn book about it.
00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:32.759
This is what's going to create a winning formula for you.
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:34.379
The five second rule.
00:07:35.550 --> 00:07:36.750
Beats the hesitation.
00:07:37.350 --> 00:07:40.439
You count down from five to one and before you get to one.
00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:42.899
You bust a move, you take action.
00:07:43.209 --> 00:07:45.309
So that keeps you from hesitation.
00:07:45.668 --> 00:07:47.139
The one second decision.
00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:49.418
Is what keeps you from quitting?
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.750
It helps you stay in control when things get tough.
00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:54.819
You don't have to win every second.
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.559
But if you win a majority of them, You're going to build momentum.
00:08:00.158 --> 00:08:01.089
Resilience.
00:08:01.509 --> 00:08:02.319
And confidence.
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.589
That's the only way you get those things is by taking action.
00:08:06.189 --> 00:08:08.019
And continuing to go.
00:08:09.129 --> 00:08:10.418
So here's my challenge to you.
00:08:12.038 --> 00:08:13.418
For the next 90 days.
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:22.418
Focus on just winning the seconds, just in that second, when you feel overwhelmed, pause where's this lead push off.
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:23.408
All right.
00:08:23.829 --> 00:08:28.959
So in that 90 days, That's 7.7 million opportunities.
00:08:30.220 --> 00:08:31.418
To make better choices.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.129
To build your baseline.
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.860
And shape your future seven.
00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:37.960
Million opportunities.
00:08:38.168 --> 00:08:40.600
There's 86,400 seconds in a day.
00:08:41.710 --> 00:08:42.940
Times 90 days.
00:08:43.659 --> 00:08:46.000
Is 7.7 million opportunities.
00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:47.700
Do the math.
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.389
So you got 7.7.
00:08:50.389 --> 00:08:51.769
How cool is that?
00:08:51.769 --> 00:08:52.909
I just got to win the second.
00:08:53.269 --> 00:08:54.500
I've got to get overwhelmed.
00:08:54.740 --> 00:08:55.909
I don't have to worry about tomorrow.
00:08:55.909 --> 00:08:57.649
The Bible says don't even worry about tomorrow.
00:08:57.950 --> 00:09:00.950
All I got to do is when the second, when the decision.
00:09:01.309 --> 00:09:02.059
Go to the next thing.
00:09:02.090 --> 00:09:07.129
And when you do this thing, Is this going to build that momentum, that confidence.
00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:11.000
And dude, this bleeds over to other areas.
00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:19.340
If you think about when you're losing in life, many times, it's not just in one area, many times it begins to bleed on to other other areas.
00:09:19.700 --> 00:09:22.700
But also on the flip side of this, this is what's great.
00:09:22.700 --> 00:09:24.200
When you're winning in life.
00:09:24.950 --> 00:09:27.230
That bleeds on the other areas too.
00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:29.090
You just got to reverse course.
00:09:29.929 --> 00:09:32.299
You got plenty of time, but you don't have a second to lose.
00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:33.679
So win the seconds.
00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:36.240
And when life gets tough.
00:09:37.049 --> 00:09:38.940
Just take a mental knee pause.
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.590
Recalibrate recenter, make sure you're aligned.
00:09:43.860 --> 00:09:46.230
Is this building toward the life I want.
00:09:47.009 --> 00:09:47.909
And then push off.
00:09:48.690 --> 00:09:50.350
Forward success.
00:09:50.350 --> 00:09:51.159
Doesn't come.
00:09:52.389 --> 00:09:54.789
From this one big swing.
00:09:54.850 --> 00:09:55.389
It doesn't.
00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:59.649
It comes from one tiny second at a time.
00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:03.700
Coupled with another and another and another.
00:10:04.899 --> 00:10:06.850
Just go back to Napoleon Hill's words.
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:08.980
Great success.
00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:11.169
Lies just beyond the point.
00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:12.730
When you're convinced.
00:10:13.269 --> 00:10:14.529
That is not going to work.
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:15.789
All right.
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.720
Let's get out of here.
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:17.320
Keep it simple.
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:17.919
Keep it moving.
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:18.460
Never settle.
00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:19.419
State tough peace.
