1
If your definition of success is win or lose, giving everything you've got and growing or learning along the way, then you're setting yourself up for success.
2
I really think the biggest cheat code in life is just going after it
3
and not being concerned of whether or not you fail at one specific task.
4
Instead, understanding the big picture, what your long-term goal is, and knowing if you keep driving forward and never fucking quit, in the end you will succeed.
5
There's a quote that I've fallen in love with.
6
The magic you are looking for is in the work you're avoiding.
7
Yeah, fuck dude.
8
The magic you are looking for is in the work you're avoiding.
9
I'm astounded by how many people want to be spectacular in life but also want to be normal.
10
By being normal you are, by definition, aiming for average.
11
Normal people get normal results, exceptional people get exceptional results.
12
You literally can't do what everyone else does and expect to not get what everyone else has got.
13
By doing what everyone else does, you guarantee average results.
14
Goggins said this in the episode with me and it gave me chills when he said it.
15
He was like, it's so easy to be successful nowadays because people are weak.
16
Yeah.
17
Everybody's weak.
18
Dana White says it as well.
19
Yeah.
20
I tell my kids it is so easy.
21
If you are even a, like, weekend savage, you will run these kids over.
22
You say, the emotionally immature man seeks out motivation to do something hard one time.
23
The emotionally mature man uses discipline to do something hard a thousand times.
24
Discipline eats motivation for breakfast.
25
You don't need motivation.
26
It's great if it arrives.
27
It's some extra fuel on the fire.
28
But discipline is the thing that you need.
29
What would you tomorrow want you today to do?
30
You tomorrow would want you to keep that promise to yourself.
31
and it's why discipline is so much more valuable.
32
I remember this conversation between Jocko Willink and Sam Harris six years ago.
33
They're talking about how you can't fake bravery because
34
if you do a thing in spite of being scared of doing the thing, that is bravery.
35
There's no such thing as fake bravery.
36
If you do the thing and you're scared, that's bravery.
37
If you don't do the thing and you weren't scared, that's not bravery, right?
38
The same thing goes for discipline.
39
Doing the thing in spite of not wanting to do the thing is discipline, right?
40
You don't need motivation to get yourself up to go and do a thing.
41
If you haven't gotten what you want, then you're not worthy of it, period.
42
And that's okay.
43
Now you can admit that you suck and improve.
44
Better to know you're bad for a season than pretend you're good for a lifetime.
45
You're not making as much money as you want because you're not as good as you think you are.
46
You're not struggling from imposter syndrome syndrome, you're a student and pretending to be a teacher.
47
No students say they feel like frauds for trying to learn.
48
You're a fraud when you get up to teach the class and you've never done it.
49
Make the promise small, build it up step by step.
50
Know that you are going to have setbacks
51
and this is my favorite rule from James Clear which is a habit missed once is a mistake, a habit missed twice is the start of a new habit.
52
Never miss two days in a row.
53
So ideally Go for a month, build it up, but after that, if you ever miss one day, go, okay, mistakes are going to happen, tomorrow I double down.
54
Tomorrow I go on time, absolutely perfect, I'm straight up out of bed, or I go to the gym, or I walk the dog, or I do my meditation or whatever.
55
And that's a good heuristic.
56
Stops.
57
Errors snowballing into new habits.
58
Control freak is a word people with low standards use to describe people with high standards.
59
You're not a control freak.
60
You just want it done right, the first time.
61
You're not anxious.
62
You care.
63
Do not expect mediocre people to support world-class goals.
64
We don't rise to the standards we have when others are watching.
65
We fall to the standards we have when no one is watching.
66
The only work that really matters is the work that no one sees.
67
It shows you who you really are rather than who you say you are.
68
This is from Mark Manson.
69
Why I hate being around negative people.
70
Being an asshole is a weak person's idea of strength.
71
Complaining is their connection.
72
Never let yourself be held back by other people's fears.
73
People criticize what they were afraid to do themselves because bold action reminds them of their own inaction.
74
If you're afraid to be criticized, why do you care about the opinions of those who are too timid to do it themselves?
75
If you are the criticizer, does tearing down someone who has the courage you lack make you better?
76
The more I listen to this, the better my life gets.
77
If they don't have what you want, don't listen to what they say.
78
There's no greater waste of time than justifying your actions to people who have a life you don't want.
79
Everyone is jealous of what you've got.
80
No one is jealous of how you got it.
81
There's no perfect way to live your 20s.
82
You either live them up and become an underskilled 30 year old, or you work them up and become an underlived 30 year old.
83
You just have to figure out which you'd rather be, accept the trade-offs, and know that there are no do-overs.
84
If my life was a movie, and someone were to watch it, I hope they'd be inspired to take risks.
85
Not just risks to achieve success, but embrace feeling.
86
Both pride and shame, fear and excitement.
87
Personally, I want to experience as much life as possible, and that only happens when you embrace the highs and the lows.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
