Every day you create, you create in thought, you ever loot in mind, you ever loot. As far as your age, you ever loot physically, mentally. If you are ever looting physically, and you are not ever looting, mentally, you are not doing the right thing. You don't pray for power, you don't pray for favors, and you don't pray to be delivered from the necessary consequences of your own stupidity. What do you pray for? You pray that the pathway forward might reveal itself to you. And in all humility, that's the humility is, I don't... I see but through a glass darkly. Please help me clarify my vision. Let there be light. And that works, that works, that works. It's no different than thought. That's another root of human struggle. Wearing about other people's perceptions about who you are. Like, why would you ever care about that, you know? And I think that I felt victim to that in my past, of wearing about things that I can't control. You know, if the people understood what words could do to a human being, especially where we are in today's society, then they wouldn't be invested in that. And here's the reality. When you, the hardest thing in life is figuring out who you are and what you want to do for the rest of your life. It's a big decision. I'm very blessed and lucky. I always knew who I was and exactly what I wanted to do. And once you figure that out, you wake up every day and you work toward it. That's what you do. It's impossible for you to fail. If you know who you are, what you want to do, and you wake up every day and work toward it. It's dangerous to dwell on past mistakes because people sort of define themselves by the worst moments that they've ever had. And if that's the case, like some people are stuck in high school, you know, they're stuck in failures that they had, like when they're first getting jobs and they always think that they're a loser and they don't like the feeling of failure. So they keep low expectations so that they never have to feel that. You got to get through it. You got to get through bad feelings. You got to get through, you got to get through failure. It's very important and you get through it by just picking yourself back up and moving forward and going. When you had that third failure in a row, did you think I need to pack this in? Never. Why not? I don't ever give up. When you really sit back at your life and you're in that dark room and you're looking at where you started from. And you tell yourself, God, my mom is this way. My stupid stepdad got murdered. My dad beat the shit out of me. I can't read and write to say my fucking soul. I've lied about it to everybody. I've cheated on all these tests. My God, man. And then you put a goal in your mind. How are you going to feel, man, when you accomplish this goal coming from that shit? Coming from the fucking hell you came from. A lot of people start from a good starting point. They have a good foundation. What if you can surpass all these motherfuckers? Look, everybody who was fucking way up here started up here and you had you started with no legs. You had to grow fucking legs. Team would start walking and then crawling and then running and then you start passing people and all this giving to them. You are the actor in your own movie. You get what I'm saying and you are the person that you desire to be. There was a point where I wanted to be the villain and it's not fun, bro. It's not fun. People start to be like, "It doesn't attract anything that you truly want." It's better to be respected through love rather than fear. It's better to be respected. Yeah, I mean, not to repeat myself. It's better to be respected through love rather than fear. The man who never fell, the man who never fell has no glory. The man who fell and got back up. That's where his glory is. The man who fell 20 times and got up 21 times, that man has even greater glory. Wow. That man has more courage, way more cursed than the guy who was so strong from birth that he never fell. There's no glory in that. When you say you're going to do something and then you follow through and you do it, not at the end when you cross the marathon, you finish it or your hands raise. I'm talking about right now, the small steps in between the big successes everyone sees. No one sees this. When they saw me in the gym in the pumping iron days, they said, "Why is it that you're working out so hard five hours a day, six hours a day, and you have always a smile in your face? The others are working out just as hard as you do and they look sour in the face. Why is that?" And I told people all the time, I said, "Because to me, I'm shooting for a goal. In front of me is the Mr. Universe title. So every rep that I do gets me closer to accomplishing that goal to make this vision turn into reality. Every single set that I do, every repetition, every weight that I lift will get me a step closer to turn this goal into reality. So I couldn't wait to do another 500-pound squat. I couldn't wait to do another 500-pound bench press. I couldn't wait to do another 2000 reps of sit-ups. I couldn't wait for the next exercise." Purpose. No one can create your purpose for you. No one can tell you who to be. There is no such thing. Well, sorry, there is no such thing. No one can tell you who to be. So in purpose, you have to create your own purpose. And in evolution, you have to evolution towards that purpose. It's easier to live when you have goals to meet. You understand, if you have goals to meet, then you don't feel so voided and you understand why every day you're looking at this person in the mirror because that is the cool part about the game. You get to be anybody you want to be. A blade does not become strong. It does not become tempered until it's been through the fire. Until it's been through the fire several times. And this is just your first or second time through the fire. And there's a lot of hammer work that has to take place. And then you're going to have to go back in the forge again. And it's hot. And it melts you down and you're uncomfortable. And then life is going to pull you out and it's going to put you on the anvil and it's going to hammer on you some more. And you're going to say what, am I done yet? Am I soared for the ages? No, no you're not. You're not done yet. Everybody knows you got to pay a price for winning. But most people aren't willing to pay it. They may pay it once, but literally you got to pay it every single day. And the crazy part about that is the price changes daily. Just like the stock market goes up and down. The price of winning changes on a daily, daily basis. And you got to be willing to pay that price whatever it is on that day. You better go out there and do it yourself. You know, don't fucking wait around and wait for someone to the hand deliver something. Go make it happen. You know, the fish don't just jump in the boat. If you want to go catch him, go catch him. You know, throw that line in the water and go do some work. And if it doesn't work that day, do it again the next day. I don't know what your future is. But if you're willing to take the harder way, the more complicated one, the one with more failures at first their successes, the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning, more victory, more glory, then you will not regret it. You are the solution to your future. It's not your daddy. It's not your boyfriend. It's not your boss. You are the solution to your future. And now it's you to remember the first two points. No, no, no. You are the most powerful person in your life. Nothing in life is promised is self-death. If you had the opportunity to play this game of life, you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don't appreciate that moment until it's passed. Reminder that if you want to be exceptional, you're going to be different from everyone else. That's what makes you exceptional. You can't fit in and also be exceptional. Both have discomfort. When you fit in, you have internal conflict because you're not being 100% you. When you're exceptional, you have external conflict because everyone sees you as different. Pick one. When your friends start to say, you've changed. Remember, it's because they don't know how to say you've grown. And so if someone says, "You're not like everyone else," then you can just reframe that as like, "I am exceptional." I feel like when people hear this thing about failing, all they ever think about is the big failures. All they ever think about is the embarrassing failures or the ones that people see. But the ones that they don't see are just as valuable because they teach you lessons. So I would encourage you instead of listening to my failures, I mean, dude, look, I couldn't even tell you a failure because I failed a hundred times for every public win that you guys have ever witnessed. So like, and it's weird because people think, "Oh man, they did this," or they did that. That guy's super smart. No, I was just willing to try every other way until this fucking worked. I had big dreams. A lot of us have big dreams, big goals. And when you have goals that are maybe outside your reach, you have to know that getting to that goal. You're going to have a lot of bad days. So I want to teach myself how to fail right. And what that means is when I fail, I can't spend much time in that fail zone. I have to be able to get up and get after the next day, just as fast. I don't have time to stay here and feel bad for myself for weeks and months and years because I'll lose that time. So don't be afraid to go outside the box. Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Don't be afraid to fail big, to dream big. But remember, dreams without goals are just dreams. And they ultimately fuel disappointment. If you're in a spot and you don't know what to do, and you're not sure where to go, and you don't know where the right direction is, start walking and start looking for opportunities. And they'll show up. Everybody has a turn back moment. You have a moment where you can go forward or you can give up. But the thing you have to keep in mind before you give up is that if you give up, the guarantee is it will never happen. That's the guarantee of quitting. That it will never happen no way under the serve. The only way the possibility remains that it can happen is if you never give up no matter what. I found out that your worst enemy is you and your ability to stay true to the thing that you want to do. If you lie to yourself and cheat yourself, then you're not fooling anybody but yourself. But if you actually get up every day and you got that action, you got that energy, that's like, I have to go and do this because I'm trying to get here. And you know, every day you're working towards that, well, you're going to get there. It may take you longer. Some may do it shorter, but you're not going to lose. And that's the attitude that we have to have. And yeah, when you've been doing it for 25 years and you've done pretty well because you're willing to go out and get smashed in the face over and over and over again with bad ideas or bad thoughts or mistakes until you find the right one, people are thinking you're a fucking genius, which is kind of cool, but it's not the truth. The truth is I'm an idiot just like all you guys. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, but I am willing to do this. I am willing to try it this way, try it that way, try it this other way. Those three didn't work. I got killed on those three. I tried it this way now, this new way. And I will keep going until I figure out how to make it work. This is why I'm a big believer in this is that when you are starting out, I think you got to find the thing that's the pain and like pain motivates significantly faster and stronger than pleasure does. Like people were like, no, passion's the right way. It's like point a gun at a family member, all of a sudden 10 out of 10 motivation pain. And so like, I think people should use their pain more. God is the ultimate arbiter of justice. I'm not. I'm not looking for revenge on people. I'm looking to punish people. The only revenge I get on people comes through my success. Everyone who tries to hurt me has to watch me rise further and further and closer to the top for the rest of their life while they live and die in obscurity. That's my revenge. Just do things. And if you like it, you'll probably be better at that than anything else you choose to do because you you will invest even your downtime doing it. And as the saying goes, pick something you would do for free and make that your career. And you'll never live a sad day in your life. And now here's my last question. My very last question on the questions to ponder is why not now? There never was a better time. Take this dream and not let it die. Take this dream and give it life. Take this dream and breathe into it your own personal spirit until finally, it becomes a flame that burns around the whole world. Let's go do it now. It is Ryan Seacrest here.
