Successful
DO IT ALONE.
who is David Goggins? who am I? to go on through all I did it alone I suffered I'm own and developed this man who said who I am man you know if you're going to create anything of value in this life you're going to even if it's with other people you're going to have to be willing to be on your own for a bit to forge on your own to take walks alone and then return to people to your tribe so to speak and share with them what you've learned or maybe even just show up with whatever energy shift has occurred while you were off every single person who wants to do something with their life and has done something with their life has gone through the exact chapter that you're going through and it's the lonely chapter it's the chapter where you you're you don't fit in with your own friends but you don't have the outcomes yet to fit into a new group of friends and you're doing this thing you're consuming content on the internet you're doing these free tutorials online to try and figure out how to set up a podcast and what do I host this thing and then and you're going through this and you're like am I is this even worth it because you have no signs of success right but if there's anything that you can take away from what we're saying right now is that the sign of success is the hate that you get along the way and what you can't do is bend the knee to their hate and fit back into the conformity because it's comfortable and it's warm because like in the matrix when Trinity opens the door when when Neo's about to go take the red pill and he wants to get out of the car she says Neo you've been down that road and you know exactly where it leads and I know that's not where you want to be and then he closes the door the more time you spend alone with yourself the more time that you will be able to understand who you are when I mean understand who you are I'm talking about without any outside interference without any friends without any peer pressure of wanting to be like someone else the more time you spend alone you're gonna figure out okay what your purpose is I'm gonna say that because of this God will talk to you you start seeking in those moments of not having any outside distractions what happens is things become clear clarity sets in and you're able to make decisions not based on what you saw that day but what you heard that day with that person may have said to you able to make decisions based on how you feel internally the biggest thing you have to do is shut off technology you have to go dark remember my bad is you have to be quiet in your mind get away from people we love being around people we love talking we love we love parties it's okay to be alone it's also okay to be unhappy it's okay to be unhappy sometimes man she gotta go to the truth first who are you get really accountable it's okay who am I what's the truth about me get to that dark place in your mind figure out it may take months may take years figure out your purpose figure out what you want to be in life and then from there okay I have my purpose it may take a long time no one knows their purpose because it's too loud finds your purpose from there all right y'all start planning people love the planning phase because it's very comfortable and then from the planning phase you got to go to execution so the execution phase where we all hate is that's where the real work begins that's when the failure happens and the failure and the failure but you know that's that's kind of how you have to do it man I've trained 99% of my life alone no one had me on the back I did all of the work alone and while I'm still hard on myself I know what I did so whenever times get bad people all this who's your care the folks look that's real I hate that people know me for that guy when they see me they want that energy that's not me every day I can extract it immediately when I need you because when you train alone and I lived alone for so many years this misery and you're able to get out by yourself I can take myself to such a level of real real passion and purpose and like the feeling I get is something I can't even expect by myself I don't need anyone that's why that's why people come to me to motivate them no one can motivate me people only root for people who don't need it like the amount of times when I was on my lonely path where I was too different from the friends that I had but not successful enough to be friends with the people that I wanted to be friends with that's when that's when you want people to root for you that's when you want people to support you once you've already won people are like he's amazing he's so good but like that's the time when you need it the least and so you always have to be the person who roots for you before everyone else does and it's usually a single clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time it is a slow clap that's just you rooting for you and that visual I think is one that you can kind of take because it is people struggle to do things a lot and the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception which means that you are not with other people rather than fighting that or bemoaning it see it as an indicator that you're on the right path because if everyone else were cheering you on then it means you're not in the right place because it means you're just like everyone else and that's not where you want to be time alone again will make you see first of all who God is second of all who you are and the third thing it lets you see what will fit you what's suitable for your life where is your sweet spot what works for you (gentle music)
