This year's girls trip to Telluride was the best. We one upped ourselves with my Sapphire Preferred card and with 5 times points on Chase Travel plus 3 times points on vacation homes with top brands, we got this incredible cabin. It was a mansion and with three times the points on dining, we ordered a wagyu steak dinner and that pistachio gelato was too good. So where should we go next year? I've got ideas.

Start strong, finish strong Wolf is always scratching. Let's roll up at 3:45am cardio by 4:45am hitting the iron by 6:15am in my pickup truck by 7:15am heading to work to get after ready to Shoot, there's no substitute for hard work. I'm going to make something out of myself and it's going to be so good, it's bad. Instead of telling you what I think you should be doing or what, how you could be better or I thought, well, let me just speak from the heart, speak from my gut and really not have anything prepared, but just tell you what's worked for me and maybe some of the stuff that's worked for me might work for you. Now, currently, presently, as you guys have your goals and ambitions, but then further on down the line as you guys continue to live your life, this idea and this notion that you could be anything you want, you can accomplish anything you want, right? We hear that, you've heard that from the time you were little boys. You hear that now you're already incredibly accomplished. You guys know that the thing that has worked for me is to remember the hard times. So. And I'm sure you guys all have your processes. And again, I'm gonna tell you what's worked for me. So before a big movie comes out, before back in the days when I was wrestling with WWE, a WrestleMania match, anything big that would happen, I would always take a moment and I'd just remind myself, alright, I was evicted when I was 14. We were kicked off the island. We couldn't live in Hawaii, had no place to live. A lot of happened then when I moved to Nashville, I was arrested multiple times. By the time I was 16 years old, I would remember that. And it allows me then to be present in the moment and understand holy, the stuff I have around me right now. This is the that I dreamed of when I was a kid. I am here. I played for University of Miami, played great teams. Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, they were my teammates. They were ballin'. Warren Sapp was playing tight end that time. I was starting defensive tackle. Yeah, they moved him over to D line and he looked at me, he's like, yo Du, I'm gonna take your spot. And I said, you ain't taking my spot. He said, I'm gonna take your spot. Said, no you ain't. We battled and he took my spot. Now you can imagine how that with me because there goes my opportunity. He went in, switched the defensive tackle, lit the world on fire. Well what that did, it crushed me. It crushed my dreams. I had a piss poor senior year. Zero production, no NFL, no combine invite, nothing. Finally went to the CFL. Calgary Stampeders, making $250 a week. Canadian, Canadian. I had to send that home to my to my wife at that time, had no money. So I remember that when I got cut from Canada, my dad in his pickup truck came down, four o' clock in the morning, picked me up in Miami from Tampa. We lived in a little apartment in Tampa. He drove down in his little pickup truck to Miami to get me when I was cut from the cfl. And I thought, well, I leave home like you guys left home. I'm ready to tackle the world, get after it, achieve my dreams and goals. Crushed by 22, 23 years old. Now I gotta move back in with my mom and dad. I played on great teams, though. Wait a second. This is not supposed to be my future. I'm supposed to be in the NFL right now. I'm supposed to be making a lot of coin and buying my parents, buying me, taking care of my wife. But it never happened. So I pulled out my wallet, I thought, well, let me see how much money I have. I opened it up, I had a five, a one and change. Well, at least I rounded up to seven bucks. But I thought, God, ain't this a bitch? I got seven bucks in my pocket. Where the do I go now? What do I do? I can't go back to cfl. The point comes where you hear that voice. Big run's over, you're done. Right? So I heard that voice. So as coach was saying, man, I hold on to that. I'm telling you, I keep my back as if against this mother. We laugh, we joke, we have a good time, but my back is still up against this mother. I do not forget it. What this also helps me do, and again, it works for me, is at some point you got to be tired of not being number one. You have to be. And you got to play angry. And I play angry now. I'm cool and calm with my approach, and when I step out on my field, which is a set or, you know, like, there's some. And you're always gonna have haters and haters like, well, God damn, man, how many movies you gonna make? Or how much shit are you gonna do? Like, you do a lot of. I say yes, it's my ambition. Of course, why not? I could do it. Yeah, I love what I do. And not only that, but in what world do we not work every day? My back is up against this thing, you know, And I. And I. And I started to play angry, by the way, and I still play angry. My last match, Brock Lesnar transitioned, and I realized if I had to be great at something, I wanted to be great in this world. Of Hollywood and movie making and producing and entertainment. I had to commit. And like you guys have to commit. Obviously you commit to something, commit to the goal. So I quietly retired two years later. I thought, what did I do with my career? Because my movies were not doing well. I was written off. I was like. It was around 2006, 2007. I was like, I left. I pulled a Jim Brown. I left when I was on top, like number one in the wrestling business. And I left. It was a ballsy, gutsy, some call it stupid move. But I had to commit and I had to follow what was in my gut. What helps me is to keep the hard times in the front of my mind because it allows me to go into these big moments that I've worked my off and you guys have worked your off. It allows me to go into these big moments with a different perspective. What it also does for me. And again, this just. This is what works for me. Like, my back is up against this mother every day. It's against this wall, but it's up against this mother because it's what I believe in. And when my back is against this mother, then there's nowhere to go. But that way, that's it. Doesn't mean you don't smile, doesn't mean you don't laugh and joke, right? You're happy, I'm happy. I'm a happy guy. But when it comes to business and when it comes to executing, it's up against this. And I gotta go that way. And I don't give a fuck who is in front of me. They're not gonna stop me. The key for me was where does it start? What's the anchor? What's the anchor? So I could have all these ambitions and you guys have all these ambitions, which is great. It's important. I'll play this role, you'll play that role. I'll execute this thing and it'll come out this summer. You guys will execute this thing during the summer, right? When it's time to really put in a lot more work. But the key with me is just always finding what the anchor is. And the anchor is getting up at 4 o' clock in the morning every day before anybody else. And grounding. My thought process is in the no one will outwork me. No one. I love and I respect you guys. Mother won't outwork me. All starts with this. Two hands putting in the work. My last match in wwe. I'll share this with you guys too. Is that again, because there's a little bit of takeaway here from all this is I wrestled John Cena and I went in, I think it was 2013. I went in WWE Champion and we went in MetLife Stadium. We, we had a record breaking attendance, which was amazing. That night we accomplished our goal. So I wrestled with John Cena. We had 45 minutes planned for the match. It's non stop go, right? So your conditioning is tested. And at that time, I wasn't full time in wwe. I was just doing these spot matches where I was still shooting GI Joe, I think, or Pain and Gain at that time, or no, it was fast and furious. Six in London. Had to travel in the ring, get all my ring work in, travel back to shoot Fast and Furious, then back WWE Raw doing those shows. The big buildup to WrestleMania against John. We get to MetLife Stadium. It's a big night. This is it. It's game night, right? It's. It's championship night for me. 45 minute match planned out. There's no cut, there's no. All right, well, let's pick it back up tomorrow. You know, it's go time. It's just like you guys in a game. At the 15 minute mark, bang. I feel something pop. I'm like, boom. What the. Laying there and both of us are out. I said, oh, fuck, something's going on. And I stick my hand. That was 85,000 people, right? And we're just laid out like this. I kind of rolled over. I stick my hand down in my trunk just to see. I want to make sure that there was no bone sticking out. So there's no bones sticking out. What the. Something just happened. Referee comes over and he's like, rock, you all right? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I'm all right. I said, I get up, I go to step and I can't step. I can't do this. I have to use my leg. Like momentum. Got to do that. So now, in that moment, and you guys are going to have these moments, you probably already had them already, where you're in the game and you're in the thick of things and you got to make a decision what I got to do. I'm going to stay in the game, committed to the team. I committed to my team, the entire roster, right? So I could tell the ref says, are you okay? And I have one moment in this moment. It was a defining moment. I could either tell him, no, I'm done. He'd give the signal, match is over. Or, let's keep going. We have this decision I said, no, let's keep going. I said, how much time is left? He's like, 32 minutes. I'm like, okay. Rest of the whole match, couldn't move. Doing everything like this. I'm getting scared because I'm thinking, man, well, what happens if I pinch something or something like, you know, I don't know. Your mind starts with you in the moment. There's 85,000 people. Your adrenaline is rushing, thinking, man, what happens if I'm gonna lose my leg or some like this, if I've just done something to my artery? Final move of the match is his big finishing move. And I remember I'm getting up and I'm turning like this because I have to fall into him. He's gonna hit me with his big finisher. I remember turning into John and he says. And I remember thinking to myself, God, please don't let this be too bad. Just take care of me. Take care of me. Bang. I feel boom. Now I don't know what the just happened. Now, luckily, the match is over. He pins me. 1, 2, 3. Comes in the back. I get to the back. I can't move now. Getting a little nervous. Get on a jet, rushed home to my doctors down in Florida and get an mri. Find out that I have completely torn my adductor, the top of my adductor, and the top of my quad off my pelvis. What I was proud of was to walk out on my own. But not only that, but in this moment, where the odds are against you, people are watching, your team's depending on you. You either say, I'm done, or this. Whatever the. Is going on, it's temporary, and it may f me up at some point down the road, but I'm not gonna let this opportunity go by without giving it my all. As you guys know, there's nothing you can't accomplish. You're gonna go on. You're gonna become world champions. The key for me, well, I think one of the keys is remember where you came from. Keep that in the front of your mind. And when goes bad and it goes sideways, a lot of does. You're getting booed out of the building or you're coming through this injury, or people are writing you off. You guys ain't make it. You know, any of that, you gotta. You gotta keep it in here. And it really has to. It should drive you. It should. It works for me. It should drive you. You got all the talent in the world. It's all here. Really. The two things I want to say are, you gotta be the hardest workers in the room and don't the opportunity up.

Motivation Daily by Motiversity

Episode: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Will Leave You SPEECHLESS
Date: May 2, 2022
Host: Motiversity

Overview

This episode features an intensely motivational speech by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, as he shares with raw honesty the personal philosophy and relentless work ethic that took him from rock bottom to global superstar. Geared toward anyone seeking motivation, Johnson’s address dives deep into the value of remembering hard times, embracing setbacks, anchoring yourself in daily discipline, and tenaciously committing to your goals—in sports, business, or life.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Power of Remembering Your Hard Times

Timestamp: 02:13 – 04:45

Johnson opens by emphasizing the importance of recalling your struggles and failures as fuel for success.
He recounts his experiences with poverty, eviction at 14, multiple arrests by 16, and having only "$7 bucks in my pocket" (06:11), which later became the name of his production company.
Quote:

"The thing that has worked for me is to remember the hard times." (03:48)
This grounding keeps him present and grateful, providing perspective during big career moments.

2. Setbacks and Defeat: Losing His Place, Losing His Dream

Timestamp: 04:46 – 07:00

Johnson shares how losing his spot on the University of Miami football team to Warren Sapp derailed his NFL dreams.
The crushing disappointment left him with no direction and financial hardship; he iterates the pain of returning home to live with his parents at 23.
Quote:

"I pulled out my wallet, I had a five, a one and change. Well, at least I rounded up to seven bucks. But I thought, God, ain't this a bitch? I got seven bucks in my pocket. Where the fuck do I go now? What do I do?" (06:07)

3. Using Anger as Fuel and the Relentless Drive

Timestamp: 07:01 – 09:20

Johnson reveals he "plays angry"—channeling frustration and setbacks into ambition and discipline.
He addresses critics who question his relentless output:

"How many movies you gonna make? Or how much shit are you gonna do?" (08:10)
Johnson’s answer:
"It's my ambition. Of course, why not? I could do it." (08:12)
He explains his mindset: “My back is still up against this motherfucker. I do not forget it.” (08:20)
His approach blends humor and seriousness, underscoring the unrelenting effort required to be the best.

4. Commitment Through Uncertainty

Timestamp: 09:21 – 10:58

Johnson admits leaving wrestling at his peak for an unproven career in Hollywood was "a ballsy, some would say stupid move" (09:46), especially as his early movies flopped and he was written off.
Despite this, he insists commitment to a goal—no matter how risky—is essential, advising others to trust their gut and fully commit.

5. Daily Discipline: Outworking Everyone

Timestamp: 10:59 – 12:06

Johnson’s anchor: a routine of waking at 4am, starting work before anyone else, and a promise that “no one will outwork me.”
Quote:

"All starts with this—two hands putting in the work." (12:03)
His work ethic is the backbone of his success, and he stresses that while ambition is valuable, discipline in daily actions is what delivers results.

6. Perseverance Under Pressure: The WrestleMania Injury Story

Timestamp: 12:07 – 14:40

Johnson vividly recounts his final WWE match against John Cena:
- Midway through the 45-minute match, he tears his adductor and quad off his pelvis. Despite excruciating pain and risking further injury, he finishes the match, refusing to quit.
Quote:

"You got to make a decision: Am I gonna stay in this game, or am I done?" (13:22)
"You either say ‘I’m done’ or…whatever the fuck is going on, it’s temporary. I’m not gonna let this opportunity go by without giving it my all." (14:06)

7. Takeaways and Final Advice

Timestamp: 14:41 – 15:02

Two core principles:
1. Always be the hardest worker in the room.
2. Don’t f* the opportunity up.**
Johnson urges listeners to never forget where they came from, let adversity fuel them, and relentlessly pursue their ambitions no matter the odds or obstacles.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

“Start strong, finish strong… The wolf is always scratching.” (02:13)
“Remember where you came from. Keep that in the front of your mind.” (14:46)
“My back is up against this motherfucker every day. It’s against this wall, but it’s up against this motherfucker because it’s what I believe in.” (09:08)
“You guys got all the talent in the world. It’s all here. The two things I want to say are: you gotta be the hardest workers in the room, and don’t fuck the opportunity up.” (14:57)

But when it comes to business and when it comes to executing, it's up against this. And I gotta go that way. And I don't give a fuck who is in front of me. They're not gonna stop me. The key for me was where does it start? What's the anchor? What's the anchor? So I could have all these ambitions and you guys have all these ambitions, which is great. It's important. I'll play this role, you'll play that role. I'll execute this thing and it'll come out this summer. You guys will execute this thing during the summer, right? When it's time to really put in a lot more work. But the key with me is just always finding what the anchor is. And the anchor is getting up at 4 o' clock in the morning every day before anybody else. And grounding. My thought process is in the no one will outwork me. No one. I love and I respect you guys. Mother won't outwork me. All starts with this. Two hands putting in the work. My last match in wwe. I'll share this with you guys too. Is that again, because there's a little bit of takeaway here from all this is I wrestled John Cena and I went in, I think it was 2013. I went in WWE Champion and we went in MetLife Stadium. We, we had a record breaking attendance, which was amazing. That night we accomplished our goal. So I wrestled with John Cena. We had 45 minutes planned for the match. It's non stop go, right? So your conditioning is tested. And at that time, I wasn't full time in wwe. I was just doing these spot matches where I was still shooting GI Joe, I think, or Pain and Gain at that time, or no, it was fast and furious. Six in London. Had to travel in the ring, get all my ring work in, travel back to shoot Fast and Furious, then back WWE Raw doing those shows. The big buildup to WrestleMania against John. We get to MetLife Stadium. It's a big night. This is it. It's game night, right? It's. It's championship night for me. 45 minute match planned out. There's no cut, there's no. All right, well, let's pick it back up tomorrow. You know, it's go time. It's just like you guys in a game. At the 15 minute mark, bang. I feel something pop. I'm like, boom. What the. Laying there and both of us are out. I said, oh, fuck, something's going on. And I stick my hand. That was 85,000 people, right? And we're just laid out like this. I kind of rolled over. I stick my hand down in my trunk just to see. I want to make sure that there was no bone sticking out. So there's no bones sticking out. What the. Something just happened. Referee comes over and he's like, rock, you all right? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I'm all right. I said, I get up, I go to step and I can't step. I can't do this. I have to use my leg. Like momentum. Got to do that. So now, in that moment, and you guys are going to have these moments, you probably already had them already, where you're in the game and you're in the thick of things and you got to make a decision what I got to do. I'm going to stay in the game, committed to the team. I committed to my team, the entire roster, right? So I could tell the ref says, are you okay? And I have one moment in this moment. It was a defining moment. I could either tell him, no, I'm done. He'd give the signal, match is over. Or, let's keep going. We have this decision I said, no, let's keep going. I said, how much time is left? He's like, 32 minutes. I'm like, okay. Rest of the whole match, couldn't move. Doing everything like this. I'm getting scared because I'm thinking, man, well, what happens if I pinch something or something like, you know, I don't know. Your mind starts with you in the moment. There's 85,000 people. Your adrenaline is rushing, thinking, man, what happens if I'm gonna lose my leg or some like this, if I've just done something to my artery? Final move of the match is his big finishing move. And I remember I'm getting up and I'm turning like this because I have to fall into him. He's gonna hit me with his big finisher. I remember turning into John and he says. And I remember thinking to myself, God, please don't let this be too bad. Just take care of me. Take care of me. Bang. I feel boom. Now I don't know what the just happened. Now, luckily, the match is over. He pins me. 1, 2, 3. Comes in the back. I get to the back. I can't move now. Getting a little nervous. Get on a jet, rushed home to my doctors down in Florida and get an mri. Find out that I have completely torn my adductor, the top of my adductor, and the top of my quad off my pelvis. What I was proud of was to walk out on my own. But not only that, but in this moment, where the odds are against you, people are watching, your team's depending on you. You either say, I'm done, or this. Whatever the. Is going on, it's temporary, and it may f me up at some point down the road, but I'm not gonna let this opportunity go by without giving it my all. As you guys know, there's nothing you can't accomplish. You're gonna go on. You're gonna become world champions. The key for me, well, I think one of the keys is remember where you came from. Keep that in the front of your mind. And when goes bad and it goes sideways, a lot of does. You're getting booed out of the building or you're coming through this injury, or people are writing you off. You guys ain't make it. You know, any of that, you gotta. You gotta keep it in here. And it really has to. It should drive you. It should. It works for me. It should drive you. You got all the talent in the world. It's all here. Really. The two things I want to say are, you gotta be the hardest workers in the room and don't the opportunity up.

This year's girls trip to Telluride was the best. We one upped ourselves with my Sapphire Preferred card and with 5 times points on Chase Travel, plus 3 times points on vacation homes with top brands, we got this incredible cabin. It was a mansion. And with three times the points on dining, we ordered a wagyu steak dinner and that pistachio gelato was too good. So where should we go next year? I've got ideas. Chase Sapphire preferred the card that's preferred for a reason. Cards issued by JP Morgan, Chase bank and a member FDIC subject to credit approval terms apply.
