And I tell people, I didn't know I would be here, but I knew where I didn't want to stay. So don't let the journey of how keep you in a place that you don't want to be in no more. And so you got to make that choice. Say, you know what? I don't know where I'm going, but I just know. I'm packing up my bags and I'm not staying here. Like I'll figure it out.
And then once you make that choice, you have to find a commitment. So I like to say you're a choice away from a new beginning, your commitment away from a new life. So what's that commitment going to be, right? It might be the promise that I made to my friend, right? That keeps me anchored. My son, whatever it is, you got to find a deep rooted reason on why you're going to change.
I want to be the first one in my family to be a millionaire. I want to change the financial struggles we had in our family. I want to be the first tech person. I want to break odds. I want to whatever it is. Like for me in football, I want to be the first one in my town, in my city, in my school to show people that you can make it, that it's possible. So whatever it is, you have that commitment.
And the last piece of this is consistency. Consistency is the superpower that changes everything. I think consistency is more important than most things in this world. If you're consistent, you'll be reliable. You're reliable, you'll be trustworthy. And if you become trustworthy, you'll be a go-to person and you will change your life through consistency.
And consistency, just to end with this, is most people say, how do I stay consistent? I'm not consistent. And I talk about this on stage all the time. Like, you are consistent. Like, you're consistent at doing the wrong thing or the right thing. You're a consistent human being. But you'll stay more consistent when you understand how much it's costing you not to be consistent.
And so what's the opportunity cost? Because if you look at anything in your life, the things you're consistent at, even the things that you, you might work a job that you hate, but you go there every single day because you know if I don't show up, it's going to cost me my paycheck. You understand what it costs you. So what does it cost you not to step into your best life?
What does it cost you not to step into your dreams? What does it cost you to stay into this pain? And when you get that understanding, I believe it can change your life.
Yeah, so with Protect Your Peace, which are words that I've been saying for so long, and peace is something you'll never experience if you keep a lot of things you can't control to control you. So this book is about three pillars of what protect your peace. Protect your energy, protect your mind, protect your soul. It's about not allowing the external things to control your internal self.
So I walk them through. man, practice of knowing your worth, of internal alignment, of fulfillment, of trusting your vision, all these different practices that really help you become more soul centered. So when the storm, because I'm not the guy that's going to tell you the storm isn't going to come. I don't care where you live, Hollywood or the hood. It don't matter. Like the storm is coming.
Like no matter your zip code, So I'm not the guy that's going to say the storm isn't going to come, but I am going to tell you that your perspective towards the storm matters. So when the storm comes, you can be like, oh, it's a storm. Or you can say, okay, what is this storm trying to teach me? And also, I do know that nothing lasts forever. So my peace is telling me this storm is going to pass.
And my peace is so strong that even maybe so, I can go out and dance in the rain because I understand that the storm actually brings goodness to my life too. So that book will really help you start to shift your perspective from your prison to your power.
A thousand percent. I love you said that, you know, I'm a big component of, if anybody would call me a coach, I always tell people I'm a self-worth coach, you know, first and foremost. And knowing your worth, demanding your worth is so critical.
And I teach on this so much because I know a big part of my life, I allowed outside things to tell me my worth and it put me in situations that made me feel worthless. And so being able to have confidence in self to say, hey, this is my worth and I'm not budging on it, I think is one of the biggest standards you can have to live a phenomenal life.
I go through a lot of challenges. I'm glad you asked this question. My biggest challenge right now was two. One, you know, I lost my mother three years ago. Oh, going on three years. And that's always going to be a challenge. That was my best friend. So that's always tough dealing with that. I have my moments where I'm good. I have my moments where feels like it's not real, you know?
So that's always tough. And then just trying to balance the expectations of the external, of the world, you know, that's placed upon me.
And you know, I mean, being a person that's in position where you have so many things pulling at you, so many opportunities, and you're trying to still not lose yourself in those moments and still have your peace and still focus on what matters and finding that, quote unquote, I like to say harmony in it. Balance and harmony, yeah, it's like, man, that's always a challenge, you know?
Growth comes with growing pain. We pray for growth, but... When we get the growing pains, like, man, I don't want the growing pains, but it's a part of the process. So that's always a challenge with me thinking about what's next and connecting certain things in my life.
You're right. I have two sides of Trent. I have the protect your peace Trent that is very introverted, that's cool with going to the cabin and not talking to nobody, phone on, do not disturb. And then I have what I call the live legendary Trent, the athlete side. It's like, let's get it. Let's go. Boom, boom, boom. So finding that harmony between the two, sometimes it's a struggle.
I have my seasons. I think right now I'm in the season of more protect your peace with the holidays, but trying to find that because One thing I will just share that's helped me, because I always used to think that, and I talk about this in the book, even when I say no, like it's a good opportunity, but I can't do it.
I used to feel guilty because I would think that I'm missing out on the opportunity. It's almost like FOMO, right? I'm like missing out on something that I could have had. And so I've given myself permission and I tell myself like, you're not missing out. You'll never miss out on the opportunity that's truly meant for your life unless you just, you know, just being a dumbo about it.
