About this episode
3 LESSONS I LEARNED FROM JOE ROGAN…“that will change your life!” 1) Live your life like you are the hero of your story Write down what you want and go get it… Best advice is to live your life like you are the hero. Everybody's life is a disaster…just pretend you are starting the movie and it shows you as a loser…then decide NOT TO be that anymore. Do what you want that documentary to be like of your life. What do you want your kids to see…Remember that everyone loves a success story. But you wanna know what’s better…massive failure that you TURNAROUND…get it back together. But you gotta write it down…think in your mind…you are the hero write down the story….craft the story…writing makes a difference Don’t be like most people that just spiral. It's annoying when people just complain…and dont do anything nobody wants to be around people that are annoying complainers 2) Stop seeking comfort Most people think you are gonna get to a destination where its easy, but nobody should want that…certainty is boring…we crave uncertainty. We need to be stimulated and challenged…so stop trying to get rid of the challenges. It's sad to see losers that stop trying and stop struggling and just GIVE UP There is nothing great about the easy road…crave the hard road…crave the challenges…learn to make it a game. Also, stop being part of the world that seeks comfort…seek lessons and difficulty. It’s through those things that you will grow…looking back on difficult times in your life, you know what I mean…you’ve learned…you’ve grown into a better person…you survived and you WILL thrive because of it. The minute you are idle and not doing anything you feel like crap… I laugh when Joe says, “hello depression, anxiety, low self esteem” Human reward systems are carved deeply into your DNA…if you don't respect that you will NOT win and will NOT be happy. Family, friendships, winning, learning, growing, struggling, hurting, emotions, challenges… IT'S CALLED PART OF BEING HUMAN…LEARN TO EMBRACE IT 3) 90% of success is just showing up You gotta learn to create discipline in your life It will carry you through when you don't feel like doing things Discipline helps you get things done and when you are doing things you have more success…it only comes from action and “actually doing things” and a big part of success is just doing something…just showing up. If you only act when you feel like it then you won't do it…you will be insecure, lazy, depressed, anxious and most importantly…you will start to lose confidence, self esteem and happiness. I’ve been there…You’ve been there…you know what I am talking about. Everybody feels the same…no one wants to do tough or difficult things, but there are days that require you to push through There will always be days you don't feel like doing the work…there will be more of those days than the days you do feel like it. Accept that. Its just life…that’s ok. Understand and be ok with “ACTING IN SPITE OF MOOD” And most importantly, it's ok to just show up some days. Showing up is 90% of success…It’s the activity that is 90%. It's not just about the wins…It's about the consistency…It's about the discipline. Nobody wants to get up early and work out. Nobody wants to spend quality time when they are depressed or upset or tired. Nobody wants to act in spite of their mood, but guess what?... DO IT ANYWAY. LEARN TO PUSH PAST THE 40% MARK. LEARN TO CRAVE BEING IN THE FIRE OF DIFFICULT THINGS… stop being tired, lazy, unmotivated. start being a winner. start being a grinder start being a hero of your story. And, start having pride in your ability to work…in your ability to Show up. You gotta start recognizing the wins in life and showing up is a win…give credit. Final thought….I truly believe that most people doubt themselves and their abilities. They THINK they lack Self Confidence or maybe they THINK they have low Self Esteem Understand this…there is a difference between self doubt, self esteem and self confidence. Learn to recognize and work on each… You overcome self doubt by growing confidence. You can grow confidence through your actions. Do More, Be More, Have more, Risk More through your ACTIONS and showing up. As Joe Rogan said…be the hero, stop looking for the easy stuff, and just SHOW UP. Do the work and you will get results and you will become more confident and eliminate your own self-doubt Make a decision to accept that despite the odds, despite your history, despite your circumstances you are worth it. you have value. You are unique…Because you are. #1 problem people make is that they base their self worth on OUTSIDE factors …appearance, social media, skills, resume, track record, money, etc You have self-worth by deciding to have self-worth…PERIOD!! …sorry I got off on a tangent there, but let's circle back around to Joe's Lessons… 1-Be the Hero 2-Stop seeking comfort 3-Just show up 3 simple rules with very specific things you can do to CHANGE YOUR LIFE if you are ready to move forward. if you are stuck at all (inside your head or life). if you are looking for a change, miracle, opportunity, new plan….THEN… Bottom line….Be the Hero of Your Story and Write the Next Chapter.
