1
This ain't you bro.
2
This ain't you.
3
You weren't born like this.
4
You won't die and if you do die you won't care.
5
Because you'll be dead.
6
Best case you win, worst case it won't matter.
7
There's no luck in this game and it may be a little bit of luck
8
but the luck happens after you bust your ass and you put yourself in that lucky situation.
9
Luck doesn't happen.
10
You put yourself in that situation where luck might fucking happen.
11
And that's what people don't know.
12
If you believe it, if you really believe that you could be something, if you have that little voice in your head saying,
13
hey, you got talent, you could do this, then follow that voice.
14
Fuck your motivation.
15
Fuck your motivation.
16
You need discipline.
17
Because motivation's not there every day.
18
I'm missing motivation most days.
19
Wow, really?
20
Some days, yeah, sometimes I got motivation.
21
Some days I'm like, fuck yeah, today I felt good.
22
I can't wait to get to the gym.
23
Like, gotta get to the gym.
24
And then once I get going, then I feel great.
25
Yeah.
26
And I feel great when it's over.
27
But it's that beginning part that's hard because your body wants to stay comfortable.
28
Your body will trick you.
29
Like, man, today should take the day off, Theo.
30
Yeah.
31
Feel good.
32
Theo, what did you get?
33
Like, six hours sleep last night?
34
That's not enough.
35
It's so easy to be great nowadays, my friend, because most people are weak.
36
Most people don't want to go to that extra mile.
37
Most people don't want to find that extra because it sucks.
38
It's miserable.
39
It's lonely.
40
easy to give up.
41
It's the easiest thing in the world to do.
42
I'm done.
43
I ain't going.
44
I ain't going to keep going.
45
I don't feel like going to work.
46
I'm done.
47
It's easy.
48
It's very easy.
49
But what's hard is going, yo, yesterday I got nothing from working as hard as I could.
50
Nothing happened from that.
51
I'm going to do the same thing again today, but I'm going to try to go harder.
52
That's the hardest thing in the world.
53
To get up every day and give 100 % and be in the
54
each day but mentally know that you're trying and trying
55
and trying that's that's a real that's a real grind how bad do you want this
56
if it's as bad as you want to live or breathe
57
or sleep whatever hell it may be i can work with you
58
but a lot of people most people don't want it that badly
59
which why they always ask the question man how did you
60
get to where you are you know how to do it you know exactly how to be you
61
or how to be me you don't want to do it like i'm going to see you want to when you're tired.
62
Let me see how you push yourself.
63
Come on, man.
64
Get up.
65
Get up again tomorrow.
66
Get up again tomorrow.
67
Get up again tomorrow.
68
The next day.
69
Get up.
70
Get up.
71
Get up.
72
Keep going.
73
How long can you maintain a positive attitude?
74
There's no hacks, bro.
75
It's you against you.
76
You against you.
77
And if you misunderstand that, You have a real problem.
78
You wake up, right to work.
79
Immediately your mind is in action.
80
No one wants to do that.
81
No one.
82
I don't blame them.
83
Don't be mad!
84
When you're laying there in your fucking bed, and you're in the fucking hospital, and you're 70, 80, 90 years old, you're thinking, man, I feel like I didn't fucking do something.
85
Because you did.
86
You didn't do it.
87
You didn't do shit.
88
You may have lived a great life, man, but you're always going to feel empty inside.
89
I don't feel empty.
90
The life you want is on the other side of a few hard conversations, and you're living a life you hate because you're too afraid to have them.
91
I think about that a lot.
92
Hard times create hard men.
93
soft times create soft men soft men create hard times we are now around soft men
94
and hard times there's a moment
95
when every boy realizes no one's coming to save him
96
and that's when he becomes a man and some boys never get there
97
and stay children forever you should be a monster he said you should be a monster
98
and it's that old expression it's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war
99
okay how good you are in anything you don't have discipline you ain't nobody right nothing of discipline
100
because you give up on the slightest struggle without discipline 100
101
told me discipline is doing what you hate to do
102
but do it like you love it doing what you hate to do but do it like
103
but if I'm feeling bad that doesn't mean I'm doing bad
104
that doesn't mean I am bad that doesn't mean
105
that I can't still take some action because yeah nothing changes and nothing changes man
106
it's time to get back to work stop hearing yourself talk
107
get off the podcast don't be on social media too much
108
cut out all the fucking noise get back to the fucking mental lab I'd say
109
thinking this will be the story that I will one day tell.
110
And that means the harder it is the bigger the dragon.
111
the more epic the story.
112
and By consequence, the more epic the hero.
113
The fear is never reaching your potential.
114
That's it.
115
That always falling short, always quitting before you're done, always procrastinating, always not doing the right thing.
116
And then one day you're an old man.
117
Yep.
118
And you look back and go, God, I could have been great.
119
Yep.
120
I could have been great.
121
It's time to stay focused.
122
It's time to decide.
123
Fuck clubs.
124
Fuck partying.
125
Fuck trying to fit in and socialize.
126
you weird why are you so anti -social
127
because I'm trying to get it why are you staying on the basketball court
128
so much because I'm trying to get it why are you out there practicing in the hot sun
129
when ain't nobody else out there
130
because I'm trying to get it why are you not clubbing like every time I text you
131
and invite you to go do something fun and cool you always studying
132
because I'm trying to get it let me tell you something homie these women ain't going nowhere these these clubs,
133
these parties, all this shit ain't going nowhere.
134
The more weird you are, is a reflection of how committed you are to focusing on your shit,
135
molding and shaping and developing your ideas and your craft so that when it's time for you to make your rounds, you gonna fly.
136
was too different from the friends that I had, but not successful enough to be friends with the people that I wanted to be friends with.
137
That's when you want people to root for you.
138
That's when you want people to support you.
139
Once you've already won, people are like, "He's amazing.
140
He's so good." But like, that's the time when you need it the least.
141
And so, you always have to be the person who roots for you before everyone else does.
142
And it's usually a single clap in the auditorium for a very long period of time.
143
It is a slow clap.
144
That's just you rooting for you.
145
And that visual I think is one that you can kind of take because it is...
146
People struggle to do things alone.
147
And the path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means that you are not with other people.
148
And rather than fighting that or bemoaning it, you see it as an indicator that you're on the right path.
149
Because if everyone else were cheering you on, then it means you're not in the right place.
150
Because it means you're just like everyone else, and that's not where you want to be.
151
Life isn't fair at all. At all.
152
So what are you going to do about it?
153
I knew that no one was coming back to help me.
154
No one's gonna miracle me to be somebody special.
155
So, mentality is the only thing that gets us through life.
156
I was an underdog!
157
We are all underdogs in life.
158
Even the baddest person in the world should think that way.
159
So you should always have "I've never arrived" mentality.
160
And the can't hurt me mentality is no matter where you come from, the sewer, or wherever you think you're from.
161
When I got on the sewer, I got to the road and looked around and said, can't hurt me Nothing should be able to hurt you.
162
If you believe that it starts to become true.
163
Be the guy who embraces The ugly the miserable.
164
Be the guy who embraces hard work, the grind.
165
Don't be afraid of being hurt.
166
Don't be afraid of sacrificing some blood.
167
You know, there comes a day, man, everyone's gonna have this day.
168
There comes a day where being average, being mediocre, is just sickening to you.
169
It's just sickening.
170
It makes you want to throw up.
171
Because you've seen people with far less talent than you as
172
you're growing up with them their childhood buddies whatever else they
173
didn't have what you had Yet now they're fucking to become something
174
that you haven't there comes that day It's either when you're young, you know, and it strikes you on the baseball field
175
because you're sick of striking out or it's it's
176
when you get fired from your fifth job You know
177
when your wife and kids are on your ass because you don't know how to support them anymore.
178
There comes a fucking day where push comes to shove and shit just fucking burns and sucks so much.
179
You can't deal with it one more day
180
and you get off your fucking ass and you create something that's always been there.
181
It's always been inside of you trying to come out, but you've never wanted to unwrap it because it's too much fucking pain and commitment.
182
I'm a big fan of power follows the blame finger.
183
So like wherever you point the blame fingers where the power follows.
184
And so it's like if you point it, if you point it to the government, government has the power.
185
If you point it at your spouse and say like it's their fault that I'm not in shape, it's their fault, they never let me do anything, it's like well you're giving them all the power.
186
And so it's like until you're like it's my fault, it also becomes my responsibility.
187
What if it's not your fault?
188
What is?
189
What if it's not your fault?
190
It doesn't matter. And?
191
Hmm.
192
Like I can't run marathons because I lost my leg at birth.
193
And either you can just never try or you put the metal thing on, And you do it anyways.

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.
