One in eight of the world's population are now classed as obese. That is more than a billion people overall. The environments we live in just invite us to be lazy. It's so easy to not be active. We're spending $150 billion a year treating obesity-related illnesses. And I'm just wondering, is it a physiological thing? Or is it a mental block? I don't know. I never would have thought at 34 I'd be living with my father and...

And I'd be having no job, have no real money, and just be playing video games all day and eating. Americans are not winning their battle against obesity. You know, you must hope and believe in yourself if you ever want to see what that hope can turn into, what that belief can turn into. By doing this, every day, repetitively,

Those are the measures that lead to the big moments of success that everyone sees in life. No one sees the struggle in here. Being lazy won't elevate you. You got to have something that is inside you, something that fires you up, something that drives you, something that gives you more power than you've ever had in your life.

When the f*** are y'all gonna realize that you are the only one who will get you back and achieve your goals? There's no other f***ing reasons. You guys are just filled with these bullsh*** f***ing excuses. I have no time. It's too hard. I'm too tired. Shut up. You wanna lose weight? Get the f*** up off the couch and go do something. Go for a f***ing walk. Eat some better f***ing food. You wanna start a business and quit your sh***y job? Then start learning. Go on f***.

YouTube. Figure it the f*** out. You are the only reason you're in the position you are right now. Let's f***ing go. That's why it's important for you to work on yourself. Listening to tapes. Building yourself up. Talking to yourself with power, feeling, and conviction. Building yourself up day in and day out because it's coming. Life will send you some curves you cannot anticipate.

Yeah.

It's a mindset, guys. The more you run, the more you lift, and the more you train, and the more you dance, and the more you sing, and the more you advance into the beauty, the brilliance of your future, the more that you move forward and you advance, and you do it for your mother, you do it for your father, you do it for the one that believes in you, you do it for God himself who puts you on this planet to make an impact and leave a legacy.

You're either building the muscle that says, I do what I say, I keep the commitments that I make, or you're building the muscle that says, I make excuses. I don't do what I say. I can't be counted on, right? And so when we think about discipline, it's really about what promises are you going to keep? Stop lying to your family and stop lying to the universe. If you actually wanted all of these things...

You would do something about it. You would get off and get to work. You must ensure yourself that you're giving it all you can today because the future we don't know, do we? We're training for that. I want to hear people say terms like good or not. It bothers me. When you want something out of life, you've got to be willing to go into action. Get around for things to be just right. Don't wait for things to be perfect.

Don't wait for the ideal situation. It will never be ideal. There will always be a reason. Well, as soon as the children grow up, as soon as I pay my bills, as soon as I get my divorce, as soon as I get enough money together, do what you can, where you are with what you have, and never be satisfied.

A lot of people never take a chance in life. They don't want to take any chances. They want the situation to be ideal. See, that's not walking by faith. That's walking by sight. If I can see it, I'll do it. No, no, no, no. That's what a lot of people say. If I can see it, I'll believe it. No, no, no, no. If you believe it, you can see it.

It's time for some f***ing tough love. So if you're sensitive, keep f***ing scrolling. You are the only thing holding you back from achieving your goals. It's not a lack of time. It's not a lack of money. It's not your family situation. It's your bitch mindset. It's the story you keep repeating yourself about why you can't get started. Shut the f*** up and let's go. You can't hit a hole runner unless you take a swing at it. Most people won't even take a swing. But you've got to decide.

I'm going to be filled. I refuse to be denied. From the captain to the cashier, there is more in you. Stay-at-home father, stay-at-home mother, lawyer, doctor, hygienist, author. I don't know who you are, where you're from, but there's more in you. You may be hurting. Maybe dying on the inside, but you still got life left.

If you want to achieve anything in life, you got to put your feelings to the f*cking side and grind if you want a better f*cking life for you, your family, your children, or anything else. All of us have the power to transform our situation. The proof is in the pudding. All you have to do is open up your phone and you will see millionaire after millionaire, billionaire after billionaire, shredded physique after shredded physique talking about how they changed their lives by doing the work. You can either choose to believe them and follow in the path or

You can act like a victim and say they had it lucky, or it's easier said than done. Stop being lazy. There's no other way to put it. There's no other way to explain it. In order to see success, you got to strap your shoes and your guy feet and start walking. Just talking and dreaming ain't going to get you there. Affirming that life ain't going to get you there. The work is going to get you there. Don't tell me you have a dream if you're not willing to wake up and chase it.

Don't tell me you are going to do great things if you keep hitting the snooze button. You want to be the greatest. You want to be the inspiration you were born to be. You want the world to know your name. Take care and grind. You think any of the goats wanted to stay in bed for five more minutes? Stop being lazy and move on.

and be about your business. Be productive, be powerful, conduct your business.
