Why is your life not what you want it to be?
Too much thinking.
Too much talking.
Too little doing.
That's why.
...but you already know this in your heart, don’t you?
Life is a journey of contrast.
You need pain to know happiness.
You need struggle to value progress.
You need cold to appreciate warmth.
You need weakness to develop strength.
You need dissatisfaction to drive growth.
You need apathy to feel love.
The key is when you feel the lesson…
Move.
Move toward the positive side of contrast.
Don't wallow in the dark waiting for the light.
Don't give up on what you truly want because you find yourself on the difficult side of the contrast.
You are in control.
Take action.
Pick up the phone.
Make the plan.
Do the thing.
...Or spend your life wallowing in the shit and go in the ground knowing you could have been anything and chose to be nothing.
Don't wait
Time to go to work.

Keep receipts.
Let them talk and listen closely.
Every time they doubt you.
Every time they laugh at you.
Every time they ignore you.
Every time they slight you.
Every time they disrespect you.
Soak it in.
Lock it into your mind.
Let it set up camp in your heart and soul.
Let it burn.
Let it sting.
Let it piss you off and set you on fire.
Then use it to win so fucking big and shove it down their throats so fucking hard that they choke when they even think about saying your name again.
Win so big that your mere existence makes them eternally uncomfortable.
Win so big that every time they hear your name, they can taste the shit they talked on their tongue.
The biggest "fuck you" you could ever deliver is by doing everything they said you wouldn’t and becoming everything they said you couldn’t.
Take what they give you and burn them the fuck down with it.
All while becoming everything you ever wanted to be with a big ass smile on your face.

Every loss you have ever taken was to yourself.
All of them.
If you can't win the battle in your mind…
You can't win.
The most powerful enemy you will ever face lives inside you.
It knows exactly what to say to you to get you to justify actions that are less than your standard.
It knows what to say to you to get you to settle.
It knows what to say to you to get you to quit when things get hard.
It knows what to say to you that will cost you all your hopes & dreams and everything you ever wanted in your life.
If you can't win that battle...
...You can't win any of them.
Stay focused on what you really want and never let the enemy within talk you out of it.
Conqueror your mind.
Conqueror your life.

Be grateful for everyone in your life that's betting against you…
They will give you far more than you can possibly understand right now.
These people will teach you some of the most valuable skills you could ever learn if you let them.
These people will teach you perseverance.
These people will teach you self-reliance.
These people will teach you self-belief.
These people will teach strength.
These people will teach you patience.
These people will teach you how to convert negative energy into positive outcomes.
These people will teach you all that matters are the actions you take.
Let them talk.
Absorb it.
Feel it.
Use it.
Take their words and shove them down their fucking throats when you've done everything they said you couldn't do…
...And you won't have to say a word.
Your results will speak for themselves.
Then when you've become everything you ever said you would…
Don’t forget to send these people a thank you card once a year and personally thank them for their contribution to your amazing life.
It would be rude if you didn't.
Andy Frisella says if you're hated by both sides, you're probably in the right spot.
"You can't just support one person and think they're infallible. You're a sheep, you're the useful idiot."
A large percentage of the population never picks up another book when they finish school.
I want you to consider this...
If you were taught how to read...
You literally have access to an unlimited amount of information.
Information that can sharpen your perspective.
Information that can help you build skills.
Information that can teach you valuable lessons.
Information that can save you years of trial, error, and frustration.
...and you choose to let that opportunity go to waste?
Reading is leverage.
The knowledge, information, and perspective you can get from a single book can change the outcome of your entire life...
IF you apply the lessons.
I'm not any more intelligent than you or anybody else.
I've just committed to reading 10 pages of a book every day for the past 25+ years.
What would your life look like if you made the same commitment to yourself?
Because I promise you this...
The time you'll save...
The roadblocks you'll avoid...
The mindset you'll forge...
...and the skills you'll develop...
Will all help you build your life into a story of greatness.
It all starts with picking up a book and reading.
Choosing not to is no different than being illiterate.
Remember that.
You cannot have a great nation without great individuals.
It's literally impossible.
A country is just a reflection of the people who live in it.
...and right now that reflection is soft.
Weak bodies.
Fragile minds.
Low standards.
Entitled.
Distracted.
Dependent.
Everyone's waiting for the world to change.
Very few are changing themselves.
If that doesn't change...
Nothing will change.
Strength is a threat to the system.
Discipline is a threat to the system.
Intelligence is a threat to the system.
Courage is a threat to the system.
You winning in any way possible is a threat to the system.
They can't fool people who can think.
They can't buy people who aren't for sale.
They can't silence people who are courageous.
They can't control people who become the opposite of everything they try to force us to be.
You say you care about the country?
Then fix yourself first.
Do it so well nobody can ignore it.
That's when things will start getting better.
Personal excellence is the ultimate rebellion.
You can change your whole life today.
Right now.
Not someday.
Not after you feel ready.
Today.
It’s as simple as choosing.
You haven’t chosen yet.
You have been floating…
Hoping things materialize…
You think something is wrong but it isnt…
You just haven’t chosen yet.
Imagine a little kid running up to you telling you how he did his first potty in the big boy toilet.
Now imagine that little kid is 20 years old and he is still running out celebrating his tinkle.
Now imagine what it sounds like when you celebrate things that as an adult you're supposed to be doing anyway.
"Mommy mommy guess what...I acted like a functional adult today".
You're working hard.
You're supposed to.
Showing up on time.
You're supposed to.
Doing something "the right way".
You're supposed to.
Did it ever occur to you that the reason you are losing is because you think the bare minimum is a win?
Stop celebrating the bare minimum.
It sounds ridiculous and gives anyone with a brain a true indicator of just how low your standards really are.

The second you need to be understood...
The second you need to be liked...
The second you need the approval of the world...
You've already lost.
You will never build, create or become who you're meant to be doing the average motherfucker dance everyone else wants you to.
You will 100% lose in life trying to appease the peanut gallery.
You're going to be dead one day.
Let it fucking rip.

Karma is not some mystical force that rewards and punishes people at random.
It's cause and effect.
When you put good out...
You'll get good back.
When you put bullshit out...
Bullshit will find its way right back to you.
Maybe not today.
Maybe not tomorrow.
But eventually ... It will catch up.
The truth is that everything you do matters.
Every action.
Every decision.
Every way you choose to treat people.
It’s all energy that circulates and finds its way home.
A great life is created through stacking this deck in your favor.
Do right by people.
Keep your word.
Help where you can and how you can.
Execute with the proper intent.
Because when you live that way long enough...
The world starts opening doors you didn’t even know existed.
That’s not luck.
That’s the return.
How much better would the world be if we all did our part to create as much good karma as possible?
Being good to people is the coolest thing you can do.
People are struggling.
People are hurting.
People are scared.
Some people have been kicked so many times by life that they have given up.
We've all been there.
Remember what that feels like.
It's hard.
A kind word.
A compliment.
A helping hand.
They all go a million miles helping people who lost hope regain a little.
Do good.
Be good.
Go out of your way to treat people good.
It won't just change their life.
It'll change yours too.
Whenever I’m going through a difficult time and trying to become a better version of myself, this serves as a good reminder. Andy always spits fire, and you can feel the heat...with it comes the urge to change for the better.
