A trainer named Jared turned down a client rather than enable toxic behavior. The conversation centers on how gratitude and choosing your circle matter more than any tactic, and how one bad mood can cascade into days of negativity if you let it.
One of the things that I changed a few years ago was instead of getting pissed off in situations like that, I gave thanks because that's something you don't want in your world anyway.
Yeah.
You don't want that kind of thinking. You don't want that kind of mood. You don't kind of want that energy. And the old Suresh would have been like, what?
This fucking guy.
And I would— and then what I would do, and I would carry that negative energy. Yeah.
I'd get on the phone. I'd be like, Andrew, can you believe? Yeah.
Let me tell you this.
Yesterday.
Let me tell you what happened.
Yeah. This fricking guy. Yeah.
Like, and And then I would call my other boy, yo, you know that trainer, Jared?
Yeah.
Yeah, whatever. And then I'd be out to dinner tomorrow night and be like, you know, I was gonna start working out. Let me tell you what happened. It's just negative.
Yeah.
Cascading.
Yeah.
So I'm just like, I just learned a couple years ago and I got this from a book I read about like energy and whatever. It was like, just give thanks. Yeah. Give thanks that you got.
Got that upfront. Got that upfront. The rest of it.
Right. Yeah. And then you're like, oh man, thanks bro. Yeah. And then you just never speak about it again. And you just, you just move on. You're like, oh man, that, what a blessing that was that that guy. Was so dumb. He just said that out front.
Yeah.
You know, that's someone you don't want to affiliate with. You want to run away from that person.
Yeah. It was through a text message. It was like, because we had an appointment, he's like, we decided we cannot train you. I was like, whoa, really?
You don't even know me.
That's wild. That is wild. But over and over again, I connect with incredible people that have accomplished many different things, not just financially, physically, you know, they've been through different education. They've been around incredible people and almost everyone from, you know, people like yourself to, you know, we had a Formula One, Indy 500 champion on here, CEO of 7-Eleven and Blockbuster, like really cool people are all aligned that the way you feel and your energy changes the life around you. Whether you want to call that manifestation, whether you want to call it the way of being. I mean, my whole philosophy is it's not about what you do, it's about who you are. It's like if you can be the person you need to be, subconsciously you'll be guided to do the things you need to do. But so many people are counterintuitive. They're trying to figure out the tactics and the tools, but they haven't actually worked on themselves yet, which is why they keep hitting roadblocks. But everyone seems to agree on that. And it was just crazy that someone was so against that, that they would deny a client for it. It was mind-blowing.
