you ready you're hopelessly average you are not special you're just like everyone else and yay because that means all you have to believe about yourself is that you can change that it is in your fundamental nature to grow and get better that we all inside of us have this deep desire to get better so i have a dream okay fantastic i have one question what skills does your dream require you to obtain if you want to be great if you want to play on a world stage you're going to pay an extraordinary price to become the person that you want to become after you lose or when you get knocked down stay down there for a minute understand why you lost what were the reasons why are you down here why did you lose so every time i lost i stayed down for a second minutes hours days when i stood up i was different now you start putting the pieces that are necessary to win over and over and over again [Music] we all have dreams i had it when i was younger so i figured the best place to make those dreams come true are in isolation so i walked into isolation as baby guys but i walked out of isolation as goddess when you become a savage is in isolation you go in isolation and that's when your mind changes after your focus changes your dedication changes you need to create strength gain focus isolation is the key to strengthening your mind come on savage what do you do when a thousand other people want exactly what you want what if you're not the only one that wants what you want what if there are thousands of other people who want what you want you have to outwork them you got to all find them you got to get up earlier you got to stay up later everybody's got a dream everybody's got a goal what's the plan and when you're trying to do something that you're truly passionate about

that you take that control back and you recognize that you can go anywhere you want become anyone you want to become that you're going to have to put in the work now you can decide whether you want to put in that work or not until i get through it i'm going to be a better servant because of it there's this quote that says you go through the storm and you're not supposed to be the same person on the other side of the storm because that's the purpose of the storm like when i go through it i'm like man i'm gonna be a better servant better leader better team member as a result of it i'm not gonna resist the opposition i'm not gonna resist the adversity i'm not going to resist the challenge my favorite quote is the quote by dr king that says you judge the character and caliber of a person not by where they stand in times of comfort and convenience you judge the character and caliber of a person by where they stand in times of challenge and opposition everybody can smile when the sun out everybody can be happy when they're making money when that alarm clock goes off at four or five in the morning your mind says no you just say this is what we do it's what we do now because to get to where you want to go the amount of pain involved the amount of mental pain of how many times you're gonna have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go and that's your
