NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS - Powerful Motivational Speech
13 Nov 2024
In this episode, we explore how growth and progress are promises we make to ourselves, not obligations to others, and the empowering truth that as long as we’re alive, defeat is purely psychological. Each morning brings an opportunity to begin anew—not by waiting for something big to happen, but by taking small, consistent steps forward. These actions build momentum, creating a "snowball effect" that powers real transformation. Life can’t mandate that you quit; that decision is yours alone. Quitting is simply choosing to stop, and as long as you keep going, there’s no such thing as defeat. This episode reminds you that you already possess everything needed to push forward, for yourself. By embracing each morning with small actions rooted in your commitment to grow, you build not only a successful day but a life that stands resilient, proving that persistence is the ultimate victory over challenge.

What is defeat? In other words, what does it actually mean to lose? My buddy sent me a post today from X that said simply, until death, all defeat is psychological. Why? Well, because if there is air in your lungs, There's an opportunity to find a solution, to move forward, to connect all those dots that will ultimately change your life. But here's the catch.
This is the part that I think we often miss. We think defeat is something life gives us, bestowed upon us by the world. It's a letter we get in the mail. When in reality, it's much simpler than that. Defeat is an internal decision. Defeat is looking around and quite simply saying no. It's saying, sure, I could have this. I know I'm capable of it, but I don't want it. I refuse to march on.
Defeat is saying the prize or mountaintop or victory. To me, it's just not worth what it costs. And when you believe that, that's when you have officially created and allowed defeat into your life. It's a willingness question, a how bad do you want it question. Because here's the deal, the road to anything meaningful is difficult.
a willingness to pivot, to pick yourself up off the floor and continue into an unknown that, let's be real, owes you nothing, well, that can hurt. That's not a comfortable process. But the truth is, it hurts less than defeat. Waking up two hours earlier to find a way to build yourself up to get ahead, that's far less painful than looking in the mirror and saying, yeah, I could have, but I didn't.
I could be there or at least on the way, but I'm not. And it's amazing to me how the mind will rationalize. We can convince ourselves of anything. which is great when you're your own ally, but it's simultaneously devastating when you're your own worst enemy. The same circumstance that tells you to go can be interpreted as a reason to stop.
The brain knows it's been two years since you started your business. It knows you've been working on your health for six months. It knows the process is taking longer than expected. And so you're tasked with the interpretation of these data points. How do you interpret that information? What do you make of it? Is it, I've been at this for two years now. Think how far I've come.
