Why does the mind need to be stronger than your feelings?
Your mind has to be stronger than your feelings. Think about every poor decision you've made in your life. There was more emotion that was involved in it than there was mind. Every single one of them. Your feelings keep you in bed. Your mind tells you get up.
Do you feel like getting up? No. Do you feel like making that cold call? No, you don't. Do you feel like doing that third set of reps?
No, you don't. If you can't control your own brain and your brain controls you, you gotta tell your brain where you wanna go and how you wanna go and how you wanna get there. See, it's easy to be on the bottom. It doesn't take any effort to be a loser, doesn't take any motivation, any drive in order to stay down there on a low level. But it calls on everything in you, ladies and gentlemen. You have to harness your will to say, I'm going to challenge myself. Sometimes I have to pull myself out of bed and say, come on, Les. Things I know I should do, I don't do. Things I shouldn't do, I do. I found that the biggest enemy you have to deal with is yourself. If you do what is easy, your life will be hard. But if you do what is hard,
Your life will be easy. When you want something, don't expect everybody to say, oh, you want this? Oh, great! We want to give this to you. You're such a nice person. You're doing it for your family, aren't you? Great. No, no, life isn't like that.
But that's how people look at. Success, they look at it like you do a few things. I ate right for three days. Why am I not a fing fitness model? I did my tasks that I needed to do. I sent five emails. I called ten people. Why am I not running a 10 million dollar company? Because they don't understand what mastering the monotonous means. It means doing the that.
That most people are too fing undisciplined to do day in and day out with perfection, doing it better than everybody else. Doing it to the best of your ability. And most people will give up. But you've got to decide that I'm going to be relentless. I refuse to be denied. And I'm gonna go all out. Effort is isolated. The reason why effort is isolated, because nobody can dictate it. Because that's all about you. Effort is 100% in the mind. That's what wins championships. That's what wins battles. No excuses. You're an adult now. You're not kids no more. Do it. Girlful and no girlfriend. Do it. Tired or not tired. Do it. You said you was gonna do it out your mouth. You're a man now. And a man is only as good as his word, not his emotions.
Your emotions don't win championships. So whatever's gonna cause you not to be your best. Stop it. It's over your fight. At some point, you gotta go take the life out of it. You gotta take that thing out.
How can you stop letting emotions control your decisions?
Like you gotta take the breath out. So some of y'all are afraid of math. Go after it. Go get it. Don't run from it no more. Go get it. You go in there and go get that grade. You go in there and get that information so you can pass that class. You gotta go get it. They say an alligator is so ferocious it'll kill a lion, but I can kill an alligator with my bare hands.
Kyle, you kill it right after it eats. Cause right after it eats... He gets satisfied. And it goes to a state like it's almost paralyzed. Some of y'all in this room are you paralyzed? You had a little success, you've done what nobody else in your family has done, and now you chillin'? Come on, you ain't hungry no more?
I need you to stay focused. Why? You should still be hungry. What have you eaten that's got you satisfied? What have you done? What have you accomplished that got you so full? While he was golfing, I was studying. While he was shooting hoops, I was studying. While he was playing games and sitting up and eating and joking in the restaurant, I was studying. You can't get out of something, something that you're not willing to put into it. You have to put your everything, your everything, your mind, your energy, your effort, your discipline, your tenacity. Nothing is gonna jump out the fire if you Don't throw something in there, it's not gonna happen. You have to be committed through the storm and the raid and the heartache and the pain and the disappointment.
