897. The Force of Average vs. The Farce Of Average

I have met the enemy....and the enemy is me. Average is a force...until you take action and make it a farce. (a joke)
Today's episode comes from Ryan Stewman's book "The G Code."
If you've been struggling trying to get things cranking in your life, it's probably because you weren't aware that AVERAGE HATES WHO YOU'RE BECOMING and will stop at nothing to keep you the way that you are.

Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.
00:00:00.539 --> 00:00:00.809
All right.
00:00:00.809 --> 00:00:01.889
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.
00:00:01.889 --> 00:00:11.759
Today I want to talk about something that's gonna really hit home for you, and it's called the force of average versus the farce of average.
00:00:12.089 --> 00:00:21.510
Now, this idea came from Ryan Stewman's book the G Code, and he talks about specifically in one of the chapters.
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:23.460
The force of average.
00:00:23.850 --> 00:00:35.130
And bro, when I read it, it just like totally clicked for me because if you've ever tried to level up in any area of your life, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:45.119
You make a decision, whether it be that you're gonna get in shape, you're gonna make more money, you're gonna get serious in life, or just in general, you're gonna get serious about life.
00:00:46.005 --> 00:00:47.414
And that's when it happens.
00:00:48.045 --> 00:00:51.465
It seems like the distractions just hit so much harder.
00:00:52.005 --> 00:00:53.954
The excuses get louder.
00:00:55.104 --> 00:00:55.825
Why?
00:00:56.195 --> 00:00:57.094
Why does this happen?
00:00:57.695 --> 00:00:59.704
Because average hates you.
00:01:00.195 --> 00:01:13.155
And today I wanna break down how the force of average works, how it fights against you, and more importantly, how you can flip the script and turn it into a farce, a fucking joke.
00:01:13.525 --> 00:01:14.245
So let's get it.
00:01:14.295 --> 00:01:20.924
Life is really comfortable, man, when you're running on autopilot, nothing catastrophic seems to be really happening for you.
00:01:21.375 --> 00:01:23.234
I mean, bro, you could pay your bills.
00:01:23.775 --> 00:01:25.305
Your boss isn't in your mouth.
00:01:25.754 --> 00:01:27.555
Your family seems to be okay.
00:01:28.034 --> 00:01:30.734
You go out and eat a few times a week with the family.
00:01:31.034 --> 00:01:37.424
You watch TV and you drink with the fellas on the weekend, life is fine.
00:01:38.594 --> 00:01:45.295
But then one day, bro, you decide to wake up, you catch a glimpse in the mirror, whether it be a physical mirror or life's mirror.
00:01:47.094 --> 00:01:51.204
You really take a look and you don't like what you see.
00:01:52.674 --> 00:02:00.444
Love handles the debt stacking up your career stagnant while other people, people who started before you.
00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:04.989
Or now passing you up, and that's when life hits you.
00:02:06.338 --> 00:02:06.909
I call it that.
00:02:06.909 --> 00:02:07.778
Wait a minute moment.
00:02:08.050 --> 00:02:09.039
And you're like, wait a minute.
00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:10.389
What the hell happened?
00:02:11.949 --> 00:02:14.259
I got comfortable, I got complacent.
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:25.889
And in that moment, that's when you decide enough's enough, you put a stake in the ground and you say, mm-hmm I'm gonna get in shape, I'm gonna pay off my debt, and I'm done.
00:02:26.849 --> 00:02:31.859
Playing small in life, and this is when the force of average shows up.
00:02:32.939 --> 00:02:44.759
Now, this is where most people fall because the second that you decide to break out of average, bro, you become a threat not to anyone else, at least not yet, but to yourself.
00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:46.650
Because see, average.
00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:48.868
Doesn't wanna let you go.
00:02:49.149 --> 00:02:52.028
Your average self is gonna start whispering.
00:02:52.899 --> 00:02:53.618
Sleep in.
00:02:54.248 --> 00:02:55.419
You could start on Monday.
00:02:55.899 --> 00:02:57.399
Ease up, bro.
00:02:57.399 --> 00:02:59.079
There's no need to go so hard.
00:02:59.649 --> 00:03:01.929
You look decent, you look okay.
00:03:02.229 --> 00:03:03.639
Just buy bigger pants.
00:03:04.598 --> 00:03:10.614
You could double up tomorrow, which you won't.
00:03:09.054 --> 00:03:10.614
Who knows you better than you.
00:03:11.813 --> 00:03:17.674
You know you It knows you, and it knows exactly where to hit you.
00:03:18.183 --> 00:03:30.693
And if you're not aware, it'll drag you right back into comfort, right back into mediocrity, because average is a force until you expose it for what it is.
00:03:31.264 --> 00:03:35.843
See, action turns the force into a farce..
00:03:36.854 --> 00:03:45.743
And once you break free of this, and I'm telling you bro, you stay at it, you break through, you're gonna see how ridiculous it was all along.
00:03:46.433 --> 00:03:48.144
You weren't created to be average.
00:03:48.623 --> 00:03:51.204
You accepted average, but not anymore.
00:03:52.484 --> 00:03:57.014
Now, lemme tell you this, there may be a lot of fires burning in your life right now.
00:03:57.554 --> 00:03:59.864
You can't put out all the fires at once.
00:04:00.133 --> 00:04:02.443
He who chases two rabbits catches none.
00:04:03.514 --> 00:04:08.253
You're gonna burn out and burn up, and then you're gonna fold back into the person you once were.
00:04:09.153 --> 00:04:11.074
Your life is built on five pillars.
00:04:11.074 --> 00:04:15.963
I call it the five F's, faith, family, fitness, finances, fulfillment.
00:04:16.533 --> 00:04:17.494
So let me ask you this.
00:04:17.494 --> 00:04:19.624
Which one are you bleeding the most?
00:04:20.053 --> 00:04:20.774
And I get it.
00:04:20.834 --> 00:04:23.084
There are probably many areas that need fixing.
00:04:24.218 --> 00:04:27.069
But I only want you right now to pick one.
00:04:27.069 --> 00:04:30.678
Once you win that area, then you can transfer the wins.
00:04:31.389 --> 00:04:34.338
That momentum that good force.
00:04:35.553 --> 00:04:36.874
You could transfer it elsewhere.
00:04:37.504 --> 00:04:40.024
So what is the thing that's the biggest energy drain?
00:04:40.233 --> 00:04:41.733
The thing that just eats you alive.
00:04:41.733 --> 00:04:43.834
The one that just you kick the can down the road.
00:04:43.834 --> 00:04:52.983
Whether you eat too much, whether you drink too much, whether you just relate it to other people, whether you sit there and sulk and vegetate on the tv.
00:04:53.163 --> 00:04:54.213
I mean, what is the thing?
00:04:54.213 --> 00:05:00.843
There is something all of us have that's like, that's the thing that just condemns you all the time.
00:05:02.103 --> 00:05:03.093
That's your Goliath.
00:05:03.793 --> 00:05:07.334
Run at that big bitch, go all in and fix that.
00:05:08.653 --> 00:05:12.944
I want you to be simple, ruthless, and relentless.
00:05:13.644 --> 00:05:15.129
Look, life is simple.
00:05:15.278 --> 00:05:25.899
It's not easy, but you can do things that make it simple so just pick three to five non-negotiable things like, I am not crossing, I'm not gonna negotiate with myself.
00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:28.149
These are the things I'm gonna do every single day.
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.749
To stop the bleeding and start progressing.
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.869
And I want you to focus on the consistency over the intensity.
00:05:35.869 --> 00:05:37.519
Chase the effort, not the results.
00:05:37.569 --> 00:05:38.709
Until is my timeframe.
00:05:38.709 --> 00:05:40.718
The results are gonna come when they need to come.
00:05:41.348 --> 00:05:41.829
That's it.
00:05:42.579 --> 00:05:48.369
Intensity's gonna come naturally anyway, but it will not come if you have it built in the consistency first.
00:05:49.718 --> 00:05:55.088
So if your battle is fitness, which is what most people's is, go to bed early.
00:05:55.088 --> 00:06:02.244
I. So you can wake up early, wake up in enough time to feed yourself something positive.
00:06:02.303 --> 00:06:03.983
I do 15 minutes of random reading.
00:06:04.254 --> 00:06:11.033
This episode that you're hearing right now is a result of what I read this morning, and I read something like that.
00:06:11.033 --> 00:06:13.194
It triggers an idea, the force of average.
00:06:13.194 --> 00:06:17.463
I'm like, holy shit, I've met the enemy, and the enemy is me.
00:06:18.093 --> 00:06:20.494
And so the force of average is always gonna whisper to you.
00:06:20.494 --> 00:06:21.934
So I saw the force of average.
00:06:21.934 --> 00:06:23.524
I'm like, hmm.
00:06:24.874 --> 00:06:26.134
How can I make it a farce?
00:06:26.524 --> 00:06:28.024
How can I make it a fucking joke?
00:06:28.983 --> 00:06:33.663
So if fitness is your thing, and fitness dude is your key pillar, I would say you attack that.
00:06:33.663 --> 00:06:38.764
Because if you hit your fitness, if you get your fitness right, everything else in your life is gonna be right too.
00:06:40.004 --> 00:06:43.334
So 15 minutes of random readings, feed yourself something positive.
00:06:43.874 --> 00:06:45.988
I. write at least one page every single day.
00:06:46.048 --> 00:06:47.639
This one happened to be three pages.
00:06:48.028 --> 00:06:48.838
Hit the gym.
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.408
Listen to a podcast while you're at the gym to sharpen your mind.
00:06:52.678 --> 00:06:55.408
When you're on your way to the gym, feed your mind something.
00:06:56.098 --> 00:07:00.749
Stop watching what everybody else is doing and start creating your own life.
00:07:01.899 --> 00:07:03.848
I'm here to tell you average will fight you.
00:07:05.009 --> 00:07:07.228
Average is gonna say that you don't have time.
00:07:07.228 --> 00:07:08.759
You know you're gonna eat today average.
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.838
It's gonna tell you you don't have time to, to meal prep.
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:13.978
It's bullshit.
00:07:14.069 --> 00:07:19.528
All of my meals take about 10 to 15 minutes to make you find the simple things to do.
00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:20.069
Okay?
00:07:21.163 --> 00:07:21.973
Make it simple.
00:07:21.973 --> 00:07:24.134
Stop making things so fucking complex.
00:07:25.173 --> 00:07:27.454
Average will tell you, you got too far to go.
00:07:28.053 --> 00:07:29.343
Look, it's not even working.
00:07:29.343 --> 00:07:36.483
Just because you can't see change doesn't mean change isn't happening because see, things are happening within you that you can't even see yet.
00:07:36.814 --> 00:07:45.274
You got deficits inside that you can't even see if you turn, if we turned ourselves inside out, we'd probably be shocked at the damage that we've caused.
00:07:45.303 --> 00:07:46.413
But the good news is.
00:07:46.774 --> 00:07:55.194
Is you can fix all that instantly change happens immediately the results take time, but change happens immediately.
00:07:56.064 --> 00:07:59.153
And the whole time, man, the force of average is gonna say, bro, it's not working.
00:08:00.093 --> 00:08:01.774
It's gonna say, you're doing all this for nothing.
00:08:02.874 --> 00:08:05.334
The force of average is going to sound logical.
00:08:05.423 --> 00:08:07.134
Again, who knows you better than you?
00:08:07.374 --> 00:08:10.434
So it's gonna sound logical, it's gonna sound reasonable.
00:08:10.494 --> 00:08:16.733
All the excuses double up, reschedule, maybe next month, the beginning of the year, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:16.733 --> 00:08:17.934
It's gonna do all those things.
00:08:18.533 --> 00:08:19.853
All of that sounds logical.
00:08:19.884 --> 00:08:23.043
It makes sense, but don't fall for it.
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.009
It's a force.
00:08:25.408 --> 00:08:31.228
Make it a farce you're gonna feel that resistance when you feel those excuses starting to creep in.
00:08:31.678 --> 00:08:35.339
Ask yourself, is this the force of average talking?
00:08:36.149 --> 00:08:39.149
See it for what it is and do something different.
00:08:39.269 --> 00:08:41.969
Just instantly change the environment.
00:08:42.089 --> 00:08:42.568
Just do it.
00:08:42.568 --> 00:08:43.109
Do, bro.
00:08:43.109 --> 00:08:47.219
I don't care if you just drop down and bang out five pushups, you broke it.
00:08:47.979 --> 00:08:49.389
You broke the force of average.
00:08:50.198 --> 00:08:51.458
Make it a farce of average.
00:08:52.389 --> 00:09:01.038
Look, this is a never ending fight, but the sooner you see average for what it is, a joke, the sooner you're gonna win.
00:09:01.408 --> 00:09:02.249
Alright, let's get outta here.
00:09:02.249 --> 00:09:02.849
Keep it simple.
00:09:02.849 --> 00:09:03.418
Keep it moving.
00:09:03.418 --> 00:09:04.109
Never settle.
00:09:04.109 --> 00:09:05.458
Stay a savage.
00:09:05.578 --> 00:09:06.119
Let's get it.
