MOTIVATION TO GET SUCCESS BY JOCKO WILLINK AND T D JAKES

most of the time today when people say they're on their ground they overslept they're laying on the counter in syria that is not what it meant in in my day and that is not what makes people successful i've seen people who were on their grind i've seen steve hurries on this grind i've seen people on the ground what on the grind really is is a work ethic that would blow your mind it would blow your mind I’m 60 years old and everybody who works for me is younger than me and they'll tell you i'll work you up under the table i'll work you up under the table my body doesn't get the best of me I got to get the best of it you're in a race and it's not a hundred yard dash it's a marathon you got to run not till you get tired until you die you got to work not until somebody comes to take your place but wait till you die faithfulness is not stopping and stopping it's being involved in it even when you don't get any credit for it.

because we can get twice as much done if we quit worrying about who got the credit I’m not looking for credit I’m looking for a reward it's not about credit because it's about reward when you stand before god rather than as a wolf in the morning the fire the prey and in the evening divide the spoils notice the time caught there in the morning you defied the prey while you're young in the morning you should devour the prey in the evening you should divide the spoils if you don't devour when you're young you'll have nothing to divide when you're old hear me people in the morning devour something throw your whole self at something you'll never know what you can do and what you can be until you throw your whole self at it devour it I mean devour it don't try devour and attack it attack it like you're gonna kill it devour the prey and in the evening you divide the spoils we have it backwards today we want to divide the spoils in the morning.

 so we're blinging when we ought to be devouring don't worry about whose name you wear when you're young worry about your name there's so often times where people they get told no or they hit an obstacle and it's game over for they're just done they're done training they're over it almost nothing will happen the way you want it to if you don't force it that way right you are coming against a powerful force the enemy nature time there's all kinds of things that that are going against you it's a losing battle and if you don't use force of will then then then you're not gonna get it done you have to be aggressive and make things happen you can start to think with an aggressive mindset which is I am going to take action I’m going to overcome obstacles I’m going to push through roadblocks I’m not going to take no for an answer being aggressive from this perspective isn't how you're acting it's the decisions that you're making what it means is is you need to make things happen I spend all my time building my dreams so when I get some time I can live my dream but people always try to figure out too many too many ways to have fun along the way getting to success ain't fun it ain't fun man I’m telling you right now it ain't fun at all that when you get there you can reap some of the fruits of your labor but on the way to success it ain't fun it's a grind it's a dog grind and you've got to resolve within yourself that I can do this that.

 it's hard but you've got to say I’m the one to make this happen I’m the one to become successful in this business but you know it's going to be hard but find out what will make it worth it for you and if you want to do anything worthwhile in life you've got to be hungry there is an old person down inside of you that's dependent on you to be smart it's the person you're going to be 30 40 years from now do not disappoint that person by being foolish through the strongest years of your life and then when your back is out and your knees are swollen you can't move around now you're out there gonna get your grind on now it is the message you tell yourself I’m tired I can't do that I don't feel like what we we become what we say to ourselves what are you doing today right now that's gonna matter that's gonna have value it's gonna have some meaning what are you doing today that's gonna be the evidence that you were here that you're alive right how do you know you are here if you will change everything will change for you you don't have to change what's outside all you've got to change is what's inside to have more you simply have to become more don't wish it was easier wish you were better don't wish for less problems wish for more skills start working on yourself making these personal changes I want my craft to get better my business operations to get better the things I do to get better because once I picked up.

 this simple formula I’m telling you it's easy to figure out where the problem is if you go to work on it see most people go through life you know without purpose without passion they don't wake up on purpose right they go through like mechanically just paying bills going to work taking care of the kids and that's all stuff that has to get done but at the same time you have to add something else to that it can only be about that what you're doing to get by what you're doing to stay alive tell me about that there has got to be something does not be big it can be small something that is evidenced to you that says I was here all right so find something you want to do find something you love to do something that gives you some energy go through life with some kind of passion and that passion is the way you know you're alive right you know you're alive and other people know your life too because when you're living life with that kind of an energy that kind of of an atmosphere people want to be around you they want to get close to you I want to know who you are.

 don't live life like a lot of people who go through this thing again mechanically and just like you know people who don't know they're alive right you see a lot of people don't know they're alive until something happens until some pain or disappointment shows up but you can you can you can go through life feeling alive by doing these kind of things that leave graffitI in your life right then let it leave a mark that's what you want to do you want to live that kind of a life you work hard on your job you'll make a living if you work hard on yourself you can make a fortune if you would have known me at age 25 you would have said jim rohn's a hard worker you'd have known me you just said that I’m the guy I don't mind coming a little bit early stay a little bit late I don't mind that either said well jim rohn's a hard worker you say well how come he's got pennies in his pocket nothing in the bank and behind on his promises well I was a hard worker but I was working hard on my job not on my cell make yourself more valuable to the marketplace I’m telling you you can so dynamically change your income and economics is the least of the values that you can start earning in terms of equity if you'll start working harder on yourself than you do on your job work hard on yourself and develop the skills work hard on yourself and develop the graces all of the stuff necessary to become more valuable to the marketplace I’m telling you your whole life can explode into change promotions no problem becoming more valuable to the company I’m telling you no problem money no problem economics no problem future no problem if you just go to work on the right thing not get things out there to change don't try to change the seed don't change the soil don't change the sunshine don't change the rain don't change the mix of seasons let the miracle of everything that's available work for you and start working on the inside work on your philosophy work on your attitude work on your personality work on your language work on the gift of communication work on all of your abilities and if you'll start making those personal changes I’m telling you everything will change for you.
