True freedom and progress in life are achieved by embracing challenges, taking extreme ownership of failures, and cultivating discipline, rather than succumbing to excuses or being controlled by emotions.

and you're going to fail and you're
going to fail and you're going to fail
and you're going to fail and then you're
life life without those
challenges it's
existence don't just
exist go
live eventually in action will cost you
but your default setting should be I'm
going to do something just get up move
towards that challenge and go attack
it go do something that's
hard struggle
sucks depends on how you frame
it if you want freedom in your life you
have to have
discipline move towards that challenge
whatever that challenge is and you may
be successful and you may not be
successful but you will be better and
the next
challenge you're going to be more prepared
prepared
for because we're going to have wins
we're going to have losses we're going
to have successes we're going to have
failures we're going to have good nights
we're going to have bad nights we're
going to have good relationships we're
going to have bad relationships we're
going to have good ideas and bad ideas
we're going to make money we're going to
lose money all these things are going to
happen and if you oscillate emotionally
up and down drastically it's going to be
problematic Embrace those emotions
but don't let those emotions embrace you
keep pushing through things that suck
this is a very difficult thing to do
because it
hurts I'm going to go forward I'm not
going to quit so I'm going to go forward

on when you talk to people that went to
Seal training that didn't make it most
of the time it's some reason there's a
medical reason there's a family problem
there's very few people that look at you
and say oh I quit cuz it sucked which is
what happens to the vast majority of
people the vast majority of people that
don't make it through SEAL training they
quit your excuses will destroy you and
take everything that you ever wanted
from you if you let
them when your excuses make you feel a
little bit better about the fact that
you didn't execute on what you needed to
execute on then they can make you feel
better but they're not helping you
they're not helping you at
all this went wrong this failed didn't
accomplish this and it's not the fault
of my boss it's not the fault of my
girlfriend it's not the fault of my
parents it's not the fault of the
weather it's my
fault and I'm going to take ownership of
it and I'm going to fix it that's what
extreme ownership is because when you
look around at your life and you look
around at your job and your financial
situation and your relationship and your
physical health when you look at all
those things and all the problems that
you may have with those things and you
say the reason I have all those
problems is because of me that can hurt
that can
sting and a lot of times our ego rejects
that and makes excuses and lies and then
we don't have to change anything and
then nothing
changes when the excuses all go away way
and people can actually confront the
fact that this is all because of me it
hurts but is also unbelievably
empowering because the more discipline
you have in your life the more freedom
you will end up
with so if you lack the discipline to
exercise and eat healthy you will end up
being a slave to
disease if you lack the discipline to
work hard save your money you will end
up a slave to
finances if you lack the discipline to
manage your time correctly you will end
up with no free time if you have
self-discipline if you have the
discipline to save your money and work
hard and invest your money properly if
you have the discipline to manage your
time correctly and not waste a bunch of
time if you have the discipline to
exercise and eat healthy you will end up with
with
freedom and you're going to start to
progress in every aspect of your life
and you'll see that if you have that
kind of discipline right now you're
going to end up with freedom if you have
discipline you will attain
freedom go try and accomplish something
that's hard you may win you may lose you
may succeed you may fail I'll tell you
what you'll be better and if you don't
have that kind of discipline and you
don't work hard and you don't exercise
and you don't apply yourself you're
Shackled so if you're in the woods and
you don't know where to
go start
walking you got to start walking cuz the
perspective is not going to change you
have to start moving
forward but standing there lost and not
doing anything is just waiting to die
waiting to starve to death don't let that
happen I think it's really important
because as men we we don't we get
conflicting messages about emotion and
how to express it and what that looks
like and there's a lot of men struggling
right now every human faces challenges
and you don't know what they've been
through suppressing them isn't going to
help and nor is letting them run your
life because you're sad now you're going
to make a bunch of bad decisions cuz
you're sad no no it doesn't doesn't work
like that doesn't work like that you're
sad okay you get emotional sometimes
okay got it now get control of your
emotions and carry on with your
life and sometimes you're going to get
waves and that's
okay oh I'm having an emotional moment
right now there's something wrong with
me no there's nothing wrong with you
there nothing wrong with you the other
extreme is oh I'm letting my emotions
run my life and I'm making a bunch of
bad decisions and my excuse is well you
know I lost some friends or I had this
traumatic experience happen to me that's
why I'm doing that's just an excuse and
it's a very easy excuse guess what it's
time to carry on remember don't dwell
life if you are in the problem you won't
see the solution to the problem take a
step back detach from the chaos detach
from the Mayhem detach from your
emotions detach from your ego and be
able to assess the best way to execute
that is the job of a
leader if you take any trait of a human
being and you take it to an extreme
masculine or feminine or otherwise you
take it to an extreme it's it's going to
be a problem is it good to have no
emotions whatsoever no that's called a
sociopath is it good to let your
emotions run your life and make your
decisions based on your emotions no
that's not good either what do we want
to be as a as a human as a man want to be
be
balanced it's it's much easier to be
extreme it's it's it's much easier to
say oh no emotions cool and turn them
off that's easier or or a total emotion
Mayhem that's easier it's harder to find
balance it's harder to find balance in
business it's harder find balance in
life is hard to find balance but you
have to be [Music]
[Music]
balanced because what I want is for the
