Hey, what's up to the point listeners, it's your boy, Chris. I'm excited to share with you a little piece of my drive into work. Every single day I listen to a podcast called Motivation Daily by Motiversity. If you haven't heard of it, you got to look this one up. And I thought a unique thing I could do that I've not done ever on this podcast is share another podcast for you to listen to. But this is one, you know, the podcast episodes are always really short, 10, 20, maybe 30 minutes or so. Just depends on, on the content. But this one in particular is one that I listen that gets me really excited. Jacked up again. I listen to this on my drive to work. I listen to it on flights. But this one was called True Alpha Mentality. And what's so cool about it is it's a bunch of clips from different people speaking at different events, like parts where they're just on it. So for instance, you know, in the business world it's like there's some great clips from Gary Vee, David Goggins, Jocko Will, Nick, Eric Thomas. If you ever heard ET like that dude jacks me up, Eric. And and also from some of the different sports interviews with Kobe, you know, mj, Tom Brady, Mike Tyson. So again, it's like a, it's like a compilation of all these amazing speeches that these business and these sports professionals have given to different groups and it just hits home. It just gets me jacked up. And this particular episode is one of my favorites from that podcast. And again, it's around having a true alpha mentality to set yourself apart. So enjoy this episode from Motiversity.

This is to the Point a rhino experience. Pull it. One of the top home services, marketing and operations podcast. Cutting through the bullshit and getting to the point. If you throw me to the wolves, I'll return leading the pack. You see, a wolf is willing to leave its pack behind and find a new one. The time is now when we must adopt the wolf mentality. Be relentless, resilient, never quit and never look back. I know what it feels like to be fractured and falling into pieces. But you gotta silence the voices in your head that are telling you you need a shortcut, you need a cheat code. Eliminate the negative self sabotaging voices. Find a mirror and tell yourself, I got this today. I got this today. I'm gonna make it. I'm going to create it, I'm going to build it. All I is all I need. Resources may come and go, people may come and go. But I've got a vision and I've got the provision and I've got the determination and the discipline to hit my aims and to punch through my targets. Can you do this thing without attention? Can you do this thing without public affirmation? Can you do this thing without people telling you that you are everything today? Without people applauding you and saying, you're great, you're awesome. Oh, you're amazing. Can you do this thing alone? Can you be your own cheerleader for a moment? Can you be your own hype man for a moment? Can you tell you, I'm good enough, I got this, that all I have is all I need. I believe in friendships and partnerships and collaboration and counsel and advice. But there are some things in life you are going to have to do alone. There are some arenas you're going to have to show up in. And nobody is coming. Nobody's coming to save you, nobody's coming to help you. Nobody's coming to show you a shortcut. You gotta figure this out on your own. Out of the hundred men that go into war, 10 shouldn't even fucking be there. 80 of them are just targets. 9 do most of fighting. One is a warrior. And bodybuilding initially made me have to look at who I am as a individual. Do I want to do the training? Okay, fine, I can train. But do I really want to diet? Do I really want to give up time with friends? Do I want to be misunderstood? All humans are not created equal. Some people just have a beautiful hand of cards. Yes. That guy's got four aces and he puts them right in your face. Boom. I know if I bet on myself, I know I can dictate everything. I run everything. I'm the boss. Take 10 seconds to get it again, Beast. Get it, baby. Come on. Ah, there you go. There you go. Energy. Let it out. 7. 8. 9. 10. The machine here. There you go. Nobody works like David in this house. 13. Come on. 14. Come on. 15. Shut that muscle down. 16. Come on, get it. 17. Come on, we want to see it. Good. 22. Who's gonna carry the boats and the lawn? That's not all you have. There's more left in you. I know you're tired. I know you're weary. I know you've been brought to tears. All the blood, all the sweat, all the sacrifice, all of the suffering. I know you want to quit right now, but this is not the time to let go. This is not the time to doubt. This is not the time to quit. Keep going. Use it to Your advantage. You gotta put yourself in that cage. When you're in that cage, you are that character. Then when you leave there, it's something completely different. But when I'm in that cage, bro, don't touch me, don't talk to me. Leave me alone. Next weakness, know that it is not welcome in your house. Go get it. Go get it now and give it everything you got. Be productive, be powerful, and from the bottom of my heart, conduct your business. No, this is real. You need to love pain. It gets harder for anybody that's living and breathing. So no matter what you do, you got to keep moving forward. Strong in the trenches, you don't know where you're going. You're lost. You know what I mean? You have no direction. So for me, I felt like both of them together. When you really. When you have the vision and you're able to manifest, but then you also put the work in. Magic happens, man. Magic. That's where the magic is. But a lot of people never get there, unfortunately. A lot of people, we're blessed that we can dream right. I gotta get stronger. I gotta train different. The weight training program that I'm doing, I gotta tailor it for an 82 game season so that when the playoffs come around, my legs are stronger and that ball gets there. So I look at it with rationale and say, okay, well, the reason why I shot air balls, because my legs aren't there. I got. Well, next year they'll be there. That was it. Done. Done. Come on, where are your values behind the scenes? What do your habits look like behind the scenes? Come on. What kind of work are you putting in behind the scenes? Come on, drop down and give me 50. Come on, write it again. Come on, believe it again. Come on, sing again. Record the song again. Come on. I'm talking to that athlete. I'm talking to that musician. Come on, who are you out there? When you are committed, you give everything you have. Every single day, you are either losing ground or gaining ground. The choice is yours. This time, make it personal. You are always going to have somebody that does not agree with you, that's watching you, that's hoping that you crash and burn. There's no need to say anything about them. Just do what you've been called to do. Stick to the plan. Pray for them and keep it moving. Don't pray for me. You pray for my enemies because they're the ones who need it the most. My enemies aren't willing to do what it takes. And they wonder why I'm ahead. I'm ahead because I have the consistency and my enemies aren't built like that, my friend. So you pray for my enemies. Let them talk about you. Let them drag your name through the mud. Let them lie. Let them try to put a black eye on your reputation and you keep giving and you keep pouring and you keep believing and you keep pushing. I don't care what they say. Eventually your enemy will become your footstool. Pray for your enemies. Probably sometimes more than you pray for yourself. Because my enemies don't understand. They don't understand the grind, they don't understand the hustle. They don't understand coming back from adversity to come out on top, my friend. But they don't know the pain that we went through to make it through. I pray for my enemies. Any man that stand against me. I pray for my enemies. I pray for everybody that want me to quit, everybody that want me to throw in a towel. Everybody that believes the dream is too big to be fulfilled, that that the destiny is impossible but I'm possible. And I pray for you. Because my enemies would rather sleep than grind. My enemies would rather lay down than get up and fight. My enemies would rather talk junk for the rest of their life and look at me like I'm crazy. Because they don't understand the work. They don't understand the grind my friend. So you pray for my enemies.
