It's a new day, The motivation won't save you. Today's episode aims to expose. The myth that motivation is required for discipline. The family will discover that discipline isn't powered by emotion. It's powered by standards, systems, and self leadership. The goal is to help the family stop waiting to feel ready and start building a life that operates regardless. Hey, Hey, hey, new day, new day.

I've been just absent from my tea's. I gotta get back on my teas. But let me ask you a question. How many times have you said, I'll do it when I feel motivated. How many times have you said that, I'll do it when I feel motivated. You might have said it out loud, I might have said it to yourself in your head. You might have said it to somebody else. But how many times have you said, man, I'll do it when I feel motivated. Man, I gotta be motivated to do that. You feel me, I gotta be man. I got to be in the move. Think about that. Think about that. Salute to the homie Jamil allenman Over on the over on the the the uh Facebook pulling double duty. Slew to my sister, Nella, the great in the building. What's up with you, Nella? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Neella? My baby on my my baby moving to Texas. She actually literally on her way to Texas, my big baby, my first love. Part of the reason why I'm so tardy, she called me. She on the road. She just uh, they just pulled out a Mobile, Alabama. You feel me? So they on their way. Yeah, man, you know the whole whole lot of wild ass any and ship down there. She she back home? You feel me? That's you know, that's where my family from, uh Waynesboro, Mississippi, but all down into Mobile, Alabama. I f the reunion is actually in Mobile this year. I'll really be scared to talk about this because some of y'all probably my cousins, y'all family reunion probably this weekend, I mean not this weekend. I'm sorry, in Mobile, Alabama this year. But anyway, sorry, I didn't got off the drift. I didn't got off. She on her way though, Nela, And I'm not well what they say, I'm not okay. Yeah, I'm not okay. King Varney. She's on her way to Houston, bro, and I'm not okay. I'm not okay man. I'll be down there soon, King Vonney. So we got a link, Bro, we got a link. Hey man, I'll do it when I feel motivated. Think about that, because that's one of the most dangerous sentences you'll ever say. Think about that. I'll wait until I feel motivated. It's a dangerous sentence. And it's not because motivation is bad, but because motivation was never designed to lead your life. Motivation was never designed to lead your life. You feel me. I gotta give you my verdict early. My verdict is, the moment you require motivation to act, then you've already surrendered control. The moment you require motivation to act, you've already surrendered control. See. We like the illusion of being in control, and we like the thought of being in control. But a lot of us we need motivation in order to even act, you feel me. We need motivation to get up in the morning and to get ready. We need motivation. Once you require motivation to act, you already surrender control. You See. Motivation is emotional. Your standards are intentional. Motivation comes and goes and will stay There'll be right there. Yeah, And that's why we spend years waiting for the perfect mood. We're waiting for the perfect mood while other people quietly are building extraordinary lives. And then we look like, damn that motherfucker. You feel me. I wish we really had some real conversation. And I'm not coming from though hate because I don't have a hating bone in my body. You feel me. But we're sitting here waiting for motivation, and meanwhile, other people are literally curating and cultivating extraordinary lives and we're looking like damn. You might be happy for them, but you're still looking like damn because you look at yourself and you realize you're still waiting to be motivated. You feel me. We waiting to be motivated to write, and Motherfucker's then published ten books. You understand what I'm saying. I know that's what I was on. I was waiting to feel motivated to finish my book for years, and meanwhile people that I you know that, I have relationship with friends, colleagues, acquaintances, class makes. Motherfucker's releasing books after books after books after books, and I'm waiting to feel motivated to release my shit, and I'm like damn, and I'm supporting you. Don't. Do you understand, Nella? Like, I'm gonna talk to you specifically, Nella, do you understand what it feels like to be bullshitting on your book but go to a motherfucker's book signing. You don't hear me though, to literally be bullshitting on your book then already started your book, started your project working on your shit, and your shit is a literary masterpiece. You know your shit is gonna Your shit is gonna like your shit, You're gonna be able to change the world with your shit. You're gonna be able to leave your impact. And my book I'm talking about it's a simple truth, min and Mayal. In the years I'm talking about, I'm talking about two thousand and fourteen, two thousand and fifteen, I started writing a book. I started writing a book in twenty thirteen. I literally started writing a book in twenty thirteen. Now, I didn't release that motherfucker to to I think it was what was it, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty two. I think it's when I released it. Do you know what it's like to be out of somebody's book signing at a book launch event, reading somebody's book, like your friend reading your book reading it might even be a book you helped them with, and you bullshit on your book. Yeah yeah, nah man? What about that? What about that? That? That song? You feel me some of y'all let's artist, You got that song, you start writing that song and you gotta wait to feel motivated to write. You gotta wait to feel motivated to get your ass in the studio. You gotta wait to feel you feel motivated to get yourself in the studio. Meanwhile, you got loved ones and people you know and motherfuckers you went to church with the dropping albums on concert performing and you like, damn. Yeah, the moment you. Require motivation to act, you've already surrendered control. Yeah, Motivation is emotional. Standards are intentional. Motivation comes and goes, standards stay. You understand what I'm saying. And that's why people spend years waiting for the perfect move while others are quietly building extraordinary lives and were looking what are looking as? Yeah, they don't feel different. They don't feel any different than you. They operate differently. You understand what I'm saying. They're not waiting to feel motivated. Yeah. So the question is not do I feel like doing it? The question is what does my standard require today? And that's the difference between wishing for a better life and building one. Did you hear what I said? Let me go back. The question is not do I feel like doing it? Do I feel like doing it today? That's not the question. The question is what does my standard require today? What does my standard required today? What does my standard? What does my standard require today? And that's the difference between wishing for a better life and building one. Let's get it. Won So hey, I'm hustled harder than the most.

What's happening with it? Man, Let's get to it, man, Let's get busy. Let's get busy. I didn't I realized I did all that talking, hadn't even done the intro. What we hear now, Let's tell the truth. Motivation is exciting, you feel me. Motivation is exciting. Motivation is emotional. It gives you that rush. You know what I'm saying. And if you anything like me, right, I'm a person that I get motivated when I see other people motivated. I'm just trying to tell you the truth. When you see somebody else fired up about some shit and they building something, and they working on something, and they just motivated. Like I'm a person like I get motivated off motivation. See what I'm saying. You see somebody doing something and then you get in there if they share it on social media and you get in there and you put the I put the black muscles up. You feel me, I'll put black muscles. I'll give you three, four, five of these black muscle emojis. You understand what I'm saying, like I get excited off motivation because motivation is exciting, it's emotional. It gives you that rush. You feel me for yourself. You watch a video, you read the book, you listen to a podcast, you feel living inspired, You understand, and then Tuesday shows up. Life gets busy, you tired. Somebody get on your on your damn nerves. Motherfucker tap danced on your last good nerve. Your schedule changes. Now what? Now what? Because if motivation was your leader, then your progress stops. If motivation is the leader, then your progress stops. Salute to my brother, the guy in the building, the the the chief MMA correspondent for the Punch Junkie, bring what's up with you? Bro? Salute the big des Kunky doll in a building? What's up with you? Bro? Salute Phelish new ne Is in a building, What's up with you? Salute the Bodesty TLB and not a building? What's up with you? Phelix new Is? I saluted you already, man. Salute to your home. You salute to all the family man for tapping in. If motivation was your leader, then progress stops. And that's why motivation makes a terrible leader. Motivation is a terrible ceo. You understand what I'm saying. Motivation changes its mind too often. Standards don't. A standard says I train because that's who I am. You feel me, Not I work out when I feel inspired. A standard says I honor my word. My word is my bond. Ain't that what they say? Word is bon yo, My word. Is my bond. Not I'll honor my word if today goes well, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. You don't build a life on emotional weather. You build your life on principles. You build your life on principles. My brother, boxing and barbecue. Salute to your hommie. He said, I never needed my spoting partner to yell in my ear to motivate me to lift the weight. Shut the fuck up and get out the way and watch me lift this weight. And you better not touch that motherfucker. You better not don't touch that motherfucker, Like, don't touch it unless you gotta touch it. You feel me don't touch it unless you gotta touch it. Hey, man, you don't build a life on emotional weather. You build it on principles. A man has to have a cold, you feel me. A man has to have a cold. Here's what happened. When feelings become your decision makers. Right, when feelings become your decision your decision makers, then every day becomes another negotiation. You understand what I'm saying. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Every day becomes another negotiation. Should I shouldn't I uh maybe later tomorrow, maybe Monday, next month. And eventually you become emotionally employed. You understand what I'm saying. You become emotionally employed. Your feelings become your boss. Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, your feelings, your feelings become your boss. They decide whether you work, They decide whether you train, They decide whether you read, They decide whether you grow. That's dangerous because feelings change hourly. Feelings change hourly. Standards don't yeah yeah yeah, y'ah think I'm playing. Feelings change hourly. Think about it. Think about from the time you you went to bed last night. No, no, no, no, don't even do that. Think think about the last twelve hours. Think about the last twelve hours. So think about it's eight thirty seven am Eastern Standard time right now, that's seven thirty seven Central. Think about eight thirty am Eastern Standard time yesterday, I mean eight thirty seven pm Eastern Standard time to right now eight thirty seven am Eastern Standard time the next day. Think about the last twelve hours. How many emotions have you expressed? Have you felt? You understand what I'm saying? How many times have your emotions changed? How many different emotions have you experienced. I'm gonna tell you the fact of the matter is, you don't even know how many. It's innumerable. You have absolutely no idea how many experience? How many emotions you have experienced in the last twelve hours? Yeah, a Saluta, saluta? Aaron Aaron David Spiegel in the building. What's up with you, homie boy. That's a hell of a name. Spiegel, Aaron David Spiegel. He says, feelings change moment by moment, by moment by moment. Facts, Bro, salute family, and welcome. I ain't seen you around here, brother, salute to you. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Feelings change hourly standards don't. If your emotions can cancel your commitments, then your discipline is already dead. That's a bar. If your emotions can cancel your commitments, then your discipline is already dead. Already dead. He said, life is good on my soul, bro on my soul. Keep going, family, keep going, Life is good, keep going, keep going. If your emotions can cancel your commitments, your discipline is already dead. And that's why I keep telling you. You don't need more motivation. You don't need more motivation. You need stronger standards. You need stronger standards because the standards remove debate, those debates that you have with yourself. Rather I should do it, should not do it, blah blah blah blah blah. Your standards remove the debate. The decision has already been made. When you're wrestling yourself with yourself in the morning as to if you're gonna answer that for thirty am, bail, I'm talking to me, the debate is already removed. If the standard is I'm up at four thirty am. I'm up at four thirty a m. In order for me to maximize my productivity on the day, in order for me to get to the gym to train in order for me to get to the show on time, in order for me to set the stage for my day and to set the standard in the stage for my family, I have to get up at four thirty am, ready to roll. That's the standard. The standard removes the debate period. Yeah, I just let y'all, I just opened it up and let y'all in, y'all to get quiet on me. I done opened it up and let y'ale in. Yeah, I didn't opened up. I didn't opened up. I didn't opened up my heart and let y'ale in or what that boy say. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I didn't get it. I didn't get y'all at Rode Wave saluted for all sniper hey man. So all right, man, so how do you build discipline without motivation? It's the title of the show. I told y'all, y'all gotta stop letting me just come in here and talk. You feel me. We didn't titled. We did entitled the show. The title says, uh, this is why you build discipline without motivation. Stop letting me talk. Stop just letting me talk. You feel me? Phoenix student says, you're going. He said, you're gonna be sleep like at tin. Gotta be bro, gotta be king. Vonnie said, I'm up. I'm up about that time every day. Keep going. Man. If I don't go to bed at ten, bro don't work. And I ain't been going to bed at ten. So but it ain't been working. I ain't been meeting a standard. You feel me, I ain't been meeting a standard? All right? So listen, how do you build discipline without motivation? Once again, motivation is not bad. Motivation is not bad. Motivation is just an emotion. And like we say with all emotions, emotions aren't bad. Emotions are information you feel me. But emotions cannot be leaders. Emotions are bad leaders. Emotions are great information bad leaders. Period. So how do you build discipline without motivation? It's simple. You stop depending on your feelings, stop depending on your feelings, and you start depending on systems that protect your standards. You feel me, Aaron Spiegel, I'm gonna call Youpgel. Speagel said, routine. That's a fact. That's a fact. That's a fact. You start depending on systems. I like to use the word systems, systems that protect your standards. And here's here's what it looks like. First, I'm just keeping it real with you. Lower the barrier to entry. You understand what I'm saying. Lower the barrier to entry. Part of the reason why it's so difficult for us to establish these systems in or routines is because the barrier to entry is too high. Why is the barrier the entry too high? The barrier the entry is too high because I'm in my late forties. The shit I'm trying to cultivate I should have cultivated in my twenties. I should have cultivated in my thirties. You feel me. So, I'm looking and I don't have my eyes on my own paper, like the first day of school, and I'm looking around and I realize or I feel as if I'm behind. I feel like I'm behind. And so in order for me to catch up, what do I gotta do? I gotta do more, I gotta do the absolute most. So I'm making the barrier the entry high as hell, even though I have a mound of evidence that shows me that throughout my life, I am not going. To meet this barrier the entry. That's just the fact you feel me. So, First, lower the barrier to entry, don't tell yourself I'm writing for three hours. Don't tell yourself that. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Tell yourself I'm writing for two minutes. I'm gonna write for two minutes. Because starting, just the act of starting, matters more than intensity. Don't let that go over your head. Starting matters more than intensity. Starting matters more than intensity. Second, decide in advance. So that was one start lower the period of entry. The second one is to decide in advance. You understand what I'm saying. Don't wake up asking what should I do today? Already know what needs to get done? You feel me. This is a shameless plug. This is a shameless plug. Once again. If you have the simple truthment in Mayo, the actual planner, you can plan out your days. You should already have your days planned out in advance. So don't get to the day trying to figure out what am I supposed to do? You should already know in advance. Keing Bonnie said mistakes were made, which is okay, that's a fact. That's a fact. Know in advance what should I do today? You already know your standards, should make the decisions before your emotions even wake up, already know what you're going into. Take the time to plan and playing around your standards. The third is you got to remove friction. You got to remove friction. Prepare your environment. Prepare your environment. What does that look like? It's a big one for me. If I'm if I'm getting up at four thirty in the morning and my goal is to get to the gym in the am, right, what do I gotta do? Gotta lay your clothes out, Lay my clothes out, you feel me or iron and prepare your clothes. Open, open the open the document if you if it's work, you gotta do. Open the document. You understand what I'm saying. Silence the phone. Make doing the right thing easier than avoiding it. Does that make sense? So one of the things I do, for instance, like when you when I know we're doing the show, the show is already prepared, The show is already prepared, has already uploaded, everything's ready. All I have to do is come down to the studio and click live. I get this shit all the way to the point of clicking live every night, and that way when I come in, it's an easy transition which is why I hate it when I come in and I deal with technical difficulties, make doing the right thing easier than avoiding it. The fourth thing, fourth, this is fourth scale down, scale down, don't skip. You understand what I'm saying. If you're having a bad day, do ten minutes instead of sixty you feel me, read one page instead of a whole chapter, walk instead of running. But ultimately, you have to protect the standard. So if you can't do. The whole bit, scale down, do sumpthing with Denzel saying that that in that could be see I'm leaving. I'm I'm from around around the way. I'm leaving here with shumping, lead here with shumping every day, leave with shumping. But protect the standard. Finally, the last one. Y'all gonna be mad at me, but it's cool. Track your promises. Track your promises, not because you're chasing perfection, but because you're collecting evidence, evidence that you're becoming someone who keeps his word. How do you keep your word? How do you collect evidence by? How do you keep evidence with regard to keeping your word? Is you just track your promises? Track your promises, because once again, you need evidence, evidence that you keep your word. When you have evidence that you keep your word once, then that pours into your confidence, so on and so forth, not the other way around. But collect the evidence, all right, So let's close this out because I gotta go. We had thirty to thirty minute mark, man, I gotta go y'all and pull me into y'all and pull me in. Just when I thought I was out, you pull me back in. You feel me, So let's close this morning. I want to ask you this one question, one question, who's actually leading your life? Who's leading your life? Is it your standards or your feelings? Don't even tell me because you ain't gonna answer honestly anyway you feel me. For me, it's my feelings for the most part. You know, my standards be getting their shit off. But I go back and forth. I'm on I'm on the old school teeter, titter I'm on the old school. Teeter titter woman. And my standards are heavier one man, is my feelings are heavier? Yeah? But who's actually leading your life? Is it your standards or your feelings? Because one of them wins every day? Every day, one of them wins. One of them wins every day. If your emotions determine your discipline, You're always be inconsistent. You feel me. Yeah, if your if your emotions determine your discipline, you'll always be consistent. And if your standards determine your discipline, you'll always be dependable and dependable people build dependable lives. Yeah, just like I talked about yesterday. Remember the people that you admire, the people that you are who you admire, and the people we grew up admire. I'm under the old law, So Pap, Paul Nim, Granddaddy Knim. Like the men that we could depend on, you could set your watch to what they were going to do. They were super predictable. They were predictable because and they were dependable because they were predictable. And they were predictable because they had a standard that they lived by, and they lived by that standard by. Hook or crook. Period. So here's today's challenge. Stop asking how do I stay motivated? And start asking what standards do I need to live by? Whether I feel like it or not. Because motivation it might help you begin, but standards will carry you to the finish line every trip. And around here, we don't build our lives on the motion. We build them on standards, because standards create discipline. Discipline creates consistency. Consistency creates trust, Trust creates leadership, Man, and leadership creates legacy. The end result is the legacy. Man, What are you gonna be remembered for? What did you build? Yeah? So remember this. You don't need to feel ready. You just need to become the kind of person who shows up anyway. That's self leadership and ultimately that's self mastery, and that's how you raise the standard. Man. Salute to you all.
