How To Stay Motivated In Life

I want to talk about this morning. This morning. Today's Friday. Today is leg day for me. Okay. So working out. I'm just going to talk about working out. I've worked out without a trainer for probably almost four years. And I work out pretty consistently. I'm not in the best shape, but I'm in pretty darn good shape. But I've done it on my own. Well, I noticed the last six months I truly have been slacking. I go to the gym six days a week, but am I killing it six days a week? Probably not. So I go and I get a trainer named Aaron. And he is relentless. He's ruthless. He's just mean. Now, he's the nicest guy in the world, but he's tough. And Friday is leg day. And I got skinny legs and they burn. And I got My alarm went off at 4:45 this morning to go get beat up by Aaron. And I'm telling you this for a reason. Because when the alarm went off, I was thinking of all of these things. Like, oh, you know, I've been killing it all week. I deserve to sleep. My body needs to rest. I should stay in. Oh, it's leg day. This sucks. I hate Aaron. Don't really hate him. But I'm thinking of all these things for like three minutes and I didn't move from my bed. Then, like life, like the business you want to start, like the relationship you want to fix, find or end a really bad one. Like the business that you want to scale or start. Just like the gym today, if I kept focusing on how bad my legs will hurt, how bad I'm going to sweat, how tired I'm going to be, how fatigued I feel, I wouldn't have went. It's why people don't start businesses. Don't fix or end a bad relationship. Don't get the company scaling or hire the people you want. Because what happens is we focus on the pain. We focus on what could be wrong. But because this is what I do, after two or three minutes of that, I. I got myself out of that and I started focusing on, wow, it isn't this. I'm going to be 50 in two months. When you're watching this, whether you're watching it live or the replay, November of 18, I'm going to be 50. I can't believe it. It seems insane. I don't know how it got here so quick. But when I started thinking, no, no, no, that's right, I'm going to be in the best shape of my Life. In my 50s, I've already decided that I start thinking about, wow, my kids get to see their dad in great shape, that I can run fast, them, I can play with them and my kids all the time. Like, D, you look better than my friend's dads that are in their 30s or run faster. You don't have a gut. Like I'm just being honest. And that makes me feel good. I also start thinking about, wow, I want my kids to exercise their whole life. If I don't exercise and I just tell them they should, they're going to do what I do, not what I say. So they know dad gets up at 4:45 and goes to the gym every day. When I make them breakfast, I'm sweating, my shirt is soaked. They know dad went to the gym. It's a part of their life. So I start thinking of after. How am I going to feel after I do legs? How am I going to feel when my legs start looking better? How am I going to feel when I'm in better shape and all of a sudden I went from to no, I'm going to do this. Because I can't wait for that buzz for when I'm done. So that's not the topic of today, but where in your life are you focusing on the pain of starting the new company, the pain of scaling, the pain of letting go of a job that's killing you so you can go deep into your career? Where are you ignoring and not putting the time, effort and energy in to fix those bad relationships, whether it's in business or in personal life. What about going to the gym? Don't focus on getting up and going to the gym. Focus on the feeling after. Do that and everything in your life and watch how things change. What do you guys think of that? I'm glad I shared that with you because that is a huge differentiator. What's up? What's up? Hey, before you go, need to watch these next few videos. They're absolute game changers.
