Motivation fades, emotions change, and discipline breaks down when your life is built on feelings instead of standards. Sustainable focus, consistency, and intentional living are created through structure, identity, and personal standards—not temporary motivation.
In this episode of The Black Coffee Club™, JuniorTheTruth™ continues The Simple Truth MinuteManual™ Week with a direct conversation about why motivation constantly fails people—and why standards create lasting change.
Most people are not struggling because they lack inspiration.
They struggle because:
* their standards change with their emotions
* their routines disappear under pressure
* their structure depends on how they feel
And eventually…
Consistency collapses.
This conversation explores:
* motivation vs standards
* emotional discipline
* consistency
* identity
* intentional structure
* sustainable growth
* self-respect
* personal accountability
Because here’s the truth:
Motivation creates moments. Standards create lifestyles.
Junior also shares how The Simple Truth MinuteManual™ System was designed to reinforce intentional living through awareness, structure, reflection, and repeatable standards—not hustle culture or fake productivity.
We’ll discuss: ✔ Why motivation is unreliable ✔ How standards shape identity ✔ Why consistency matters more than intensity ✔ The connection between standards and self-respect ✔ How systems help standards survive real life ✔ Why intentional structure creates sustainable growth
If you’ve been stuck in cycles of starting over, burnout, inconsistency, or emotional productivity…
This conversation is for you.

I got a story to share with y'all. I guess I'll share it. Hey, Man, I tried to. If you paid close attention, I moved this show from today to tomorrow because I said there was an offer that came from I'm a customer, and I was like, man, let me go do this work. You understand what I'm saying. It was. It was it was I have a quota, a daily quota, and this was like two and a half days worth a quota. And I'm like, man, I'm finna go get this. I'm finna go hit this lick Man fucked up more in the show. That's what I said. You know what I'm saying. I'm having some some some some varying levels of frustration. So I'm like, man, I'm finna go get this money. Like the hell with that, I'm gonna go get this quota. You feel me, I'm tired of missing out on this quota. To sit in here with people just looking at me. Let me let me here, let me put let me put my face up here so i can show you all how since here I am. I'm tired. You feel me, mother fuck could just be looking at me. You understand what I'm saying. Going through the motions and I'm like, hey, man, I'm finna go get this bag. And then so I tell the you know, I'm I get everything lined up, get ready to get the bag, I get dressed. I move this show to tomorrow. Like, man, we talk about this shit tomorrow. Motherfuckers ain't gonna do no, but just look at me anyway. And so I literally get in my car, pack up everything, get in my car. I'm getting ready to go to Kentucky. And then I'm picking up something in Kentucky and I'm shooting at to Indianapolis. You feel me, i'ma pull up on pull up on Corey New Fat. Boy Fitness them. And I literally get down the street and I go to the plug in the GPS and connect the app to the GPS, and my customer's app is. I'm like, the job is gone. You feel me like it's gone, like it's just just not there. And I'm like, so I'm calling the I'm calling, you know, the the my customer and I'm calling their dispatch team and they like, uhh yeah, man, it's you feel me like it's over with, Like it's it's just gone. I'm like gone, Like how the fuck? I'm like, man, come on, man, y'all ain't gonna the creator the ancestors my spirit, guys, y'all ain't gonna give it to me like that. So then I have a fit and I come in the house and I sit back in my office and I'm just sitting at the computer like I ain't finna do that show. I ain't finna do that show. You understand what I'm saying. I told you I'm having a fit, and I'm like, all right, for some reason, I'm supposed because I'm literally I'm tired. You feel me like I am tired. But I got work to do, and I made a commitment. And so even when I don't want to honor this here commitment and I don't want to honor this here sacrifice because I tried to do some other jobs too, I ain't gonna lie to you like, man, I'm about to get on the van and go move some heavy freight. I'm not finna go down here into this studio so these people can sit here and just look at me and be halfway tapped in. But I gotta I have to honor my commitment because I've made a commitment to y'all. I made a commitment to myself, and I made a commitment to this thing that I'm building. I said, damn, so now, So I was kicking and screaming Felix all the way down the stairs. I was kicking and screaming and having a fit. And then that new day came on. And when I heard that new day, I just clocked in. You feel me? So, yeah, I'm always this I'm always this way in the morning. So I don't even know why I shared all that with y'all. Do you feel me? But salute y'all because I do appreciate y'all being here. You feel me, But I am growing increasingly frustrated. I'm not gonna lie to you. I am growing increasingly frustrated. Yeah, tired of motherfuckers just looking at me half cocked, half in. I'm to be honest with y'all. I'm tired of people not like I'm really tired of people not taking themselves seriously. You feel me enough to really. Assess where you are in life and really assess what it is that you're trying to do and really, really, really truly lock in with what it is that you're supposed to be doing with your life. So that's it. Salute to the family, though tifty two, what's up? What you love? One? Salute to you, my brother Stormy b Man in a building. What's up with you? Stormy? Salute to your family. A kill vibes is in a building? What's up with your kill vibes? Ain't seen you in a while? Bruh? Is you a cop? J Reid? Is you a cop? Man? Is you a cop? J Red? So salute a kill vibes. So let's get to it, man, Let's get to it. Grab your grab your coffee, manly your favorite morning beverage man, and let's tell the truth. Let's tell the truth. A lot of people are exhausted because they keep trying to build and they're trying to be out here. I go said, I'm gonna stop genitalizing. I'm gonna talk about you. A lot of you are exhausted or frustrated, and you're exhausted because you're trying to build your life on motivation. You want to feel ready. You understand what I'm saying. You want to feel ready. You wait to feel inspired, you wait to feel locked in. You understand what I'm saying. You wait to feel disciplined. And the moment that feeling disappears, then your structure disappears too. Your routine disappears. Like you you really motivated to do something You might be motivated to work out, you might be motivated to start walking, You might be motivated to start working on that business. You might be motivated to start building this thing that you're trying to build. And once that motivation disappears, so your structure, your routine, your focus, your execution, all of those disappear, and then you find yourself starting over. Again and again and again and again and once again. We have lives that are full of this reset, you feel me. Our lives are full of this reset. We're full of this start over. Pick up something, get excited, stop, start over, pick up something, get excited, start stop, start over like it's just a reset, you feel me. A kill said, nah, I'm definitely not Jay Reed working a third shift. He said that third shift is something that sure, he said, I'll be on the playbacks heavy. Well, you gotta be you, hey. Man, You got to join the replay game, then replay game be over there, going going tough. You feel me. You gotta throw a cup of coffee on the replay or something so we know it's real. You feel me, so we know, so we know it's real. On Ah, look at Joe. Salute to my sister. Thrive and glow with Joe. Saluted my sister thrive and glow with Joe in the Superchat. Thank you, love one. I appreciate it, she said. Let's go. I appreciate you. You already know, Joe. We're going, even when we don't want to, We're going. Don't have no other don't have no choice in the matter. Were going. So let me give you some truth and I'm gonna give it to you. We're gonna get, We're gonna get, We're gonna take all the cut off the dope. You don't need more motivation, You need a standard. You don't need You don't need motivation, you need a standard. That's the conversation this morning. Because motivation is emotional motivation is emotional motivation is. Emotional motivation is Emotional standards are intentional. Motivation. Motivation changes daily. It changes daily. Think about how attitude now you are. Think about how moody we think about it. I just had an episode today. I just told you I'm tired, I'm unnerved. You feel me. Emotion emotional motivations are emotional standards are intentional. The standard is I'm gonna come in here, give you the best that I got like Anita, and then I'm gone with the rest of my fucking day. Motivation changes daily, standards stay in place, and honestly, most people excuse me. You are relying on feelings to do what standards were supposed to handle. You feel me You're relying on your feelings to do what your standards are supposed to handle. And that's why consistency keeps breaking down, not because you lack potential, but because you built your life around emotional energy instead of building your life around your identity, which is directly attached to your standard. You don't need more motivation. I don't know how many times to say it. I'm gonna keep saying it. You don't need more motivation, you need a standard. Let's get it one. So I'm hustled harder than the moment. I'm a feast on these streets. Got a revolver I talk for these niggas. Try to take me off the block where I pointed up daily sit Dailey's. Out, the bottle is smoke. Yes, yes, indeed, yes, indeed, all right, man, So let's go and get to it so I can get out, so I can get out your way and get out your and get out your face. For the day. Salute to my New York Knicks. Man, I hear y'all, see y'all in the chat talking about New York Kniggs being distracted from the conversation, and shit, you know, the New York Knigs did what we did, man, don't you know the Cleveland Calves did the best they could. They're not a disgrace, man. The Calves ain't a disgrace. Ab suiting my brother ab. They just they just ran head first into a buzzsaw. You understand what I'm saying. Salute to kel Walker Smith in the building. What's up with you, Kel? Salute to you. Love Hey. Felix said that the Knickerbocker sweep help ease the frustration a bit. I expect, man, I'll be expecting that. You understand what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Let's get to it though, man, Let's get to it. So you don't need more motivation. You just need a standard, man. Like it's that simple. You just need a standard. Like it's that simple. You feel me like it ain't this shit don't really be rocket science at all, man. You just need a standard. That's it. Motivation is unreliable, man, it's unreliable. Sometimes you wake up focus, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you feel inspired, sometimes life feels heavy. That's normal, Like you're a human being. But the problem starts when your behavior changes every time your feelings change. Huh, The problem starts when your behavior changes every time your feelings change. Now, your routine becomes unstable, your discipline becomes unstable, your focus becomes unstable. Everything depends on how you feel that day. That's dangerous, that's day is because your feelings are temporary. And if your standard disappears every time life gets uncomfortable, then you don't really have a standard, if that makes sense, Like, if your standard changes every time life gets uncomfortable, you don't have a standard. You have moods, and moods cannot build a stable life. You feel me, Yeah, that realization just like changed everything for me. You feel me, That changed everything for me. Like we're in this era right now if you really think about it, Felaus, I'm coming straight to y'all. I'm coming to your chest with it too. I've never seen so many moody men, and you will allow your mood to impact what you are here to produce. You feel me, your mood impacts what you're here to produce. There is no standard, there is no standard. That realization changed a lot for me, man, because not only would I find myself moody, but I would look at what I was allowing to impact my mood. You have this conversation, Now my mood fucked up. Here, come this person. Now my mood is messed up. Now I gotta go in here and sit down with these people. I leave this meeting. Now my mood is messed up, Like what the. Hell is wrong with me? And all of these impacts what I'm here to actually produce. So I stopped asking how do I stay motivated? I stopped asking myself that, and I started asking, or I asked, what standard do I want to live by? Like, what's my standard? What's my when everything else is going out the window? As a man, what's my standard? What's my battle? Cry? You feel me, like, what is my absolute standard? That's different, you feel me, That's very, very different, because standards create consistency, not perfection, but consistency and consistency will change everything. Consistency changes everything, you feel me, So let me go, let me go deeper, excuse me, let me go, let's go deeper. Standards are bigger than productivity. Standards shape your identity, you feel me. A standard says this is how I operate, not when I feel like it, not when life is easy, not when motivation is high. Always that's powerful. This is the standard, and this is how I operate. Always. That's powerful because once behavior becomes connected to identity, then decision and gets easier. You feel me. You stop negotiating with yourself all day. You stop restarting every Monday or every month. Like you stop restarting, You stop depending on emotional speeches and and and motive and motivational books and motivational of videos on YouTube in order for you to function, because now there's a standard, and the standard creates boundaries, you feel me. The standard creates structure, The standard creates clarity, you understand. For example, a person. With the focused standard protects their attention differently, like you have a focused standard, you protect your attention differently. I just had this epiphany this today when I was sitting there having my fit, like it's too many, it's too much, Like I'm allowing my attention, like I've allowed a breach and my attention. You feel me, nol Of the Great said, the standard removes chaos. Talk to me, Talk to me. A person with a health standard eats differently, you feel me. A person with a self respect standard moves differently. And that's why your standards matter. Because your standards determine your lifestyle. Your standards determine your lifestyle. Your goals don't determine your lifestyle. Your intentions don't determine your lifestyle. Your standards determine your lifestyle. And truth be. Told, many people have goals that completely conflict with their standards. That have goals that completely conflict, conflict, completely conflict with their standards. You feel me, what am I talking about? Your ass want peace in your life, but you tolerate chaos. You even surround yourself with chaos. You even welcome chaos in your life. You want peace, but you tolerate chaos. You understand what I'm saying? Do you understand? Like I'm a person that if you raise your if you raise your voice around me, because I'll probably get up and remove myself and that'll probably be like one of the last conversations we have. Like cause if you talk, it's certain words in the English language you can't say to me, will never talk again, and that's all my soul. You feel me. It's names that you can call me. You understand what I'm saying. That are just utter chaos. We will never speak again. People want peace, but they talkerate chaos, you feel me. People want focused, but they protect their distractions. You understand what I'm saying. People protect their distractions more than they want focused. People want discipline, but then they normalize inconsistency in their lives, and that contradiction creates frustration because eventually life, your life follows what you repeatedly allow. You understand what I'm saying. So when you have, like I don't know, you have a relationship where you allow a person to constantly and consistently talk to you disrespectfully, you feel me, then you're gonna live a life that's chuck full of disrespect because not only is that person gonna disrespect you, other people are gonna see the way that person handles you, and they gonna handle you the same way, and they gonna think you just a bitch ass motherfucker. For lack of better terms, boxing and barbecue, what's up with you, hommy salute to you? Yeah, none of the Grace said, triggers minimize, Uh, triggers minimize with standards them Jesus facts, Jesus facts. Because triggers become absolutely obsolete because once again, I'm not feitling normalized the chaos. If I know something's trigger triggering me, then I know that I need to put in the necessary boundaries to remove the triggers. Ye'ah. King Vonney said, even a small lighter can burn a bridge. Even a small lighter can burn a bridge. Your life eventually follows what you repeatedly allow. Now this is where, this is where standards become powerful because standards. Let me tell you what else standards do. Standards reduce your internal arguments. They reduce your internal arguments. Yeah up, I was about to say a lot of people, a lot of you, are a lot of us. Let me say that are mentally exhausted because we negotiate with ourselves constantly. We constantly negotiating with ourselves. Should I do it today, maybe later, I'll restart tomorrow. I deserve a break. I'm tired, I'm gonna sit down, I'm gonna take a nap, I'm arrest and eventually the negotiation becomes a habit. But standards simplify your decisions. The standard says this is what I do, period and not because it's always exciting. You feel me because it won't be. Not not because it's always exciting, because it aligns with a who you're becoming. It aligns with who you are. It aligns with who you're becoming. And for me, that changed everything. That changed every thing. You feel me when you're writing. For me, for instance, writing the writing a book, you understand what I'm saying and sitting down and you know my loved ones looking at me like you know, not that it's easy, you feel me. It might have looked easy, but not that it was easy. But it was the fact that this is what I decided that I was going to do, and it became the standard. You feel me the same thing when working on the planner, when putting the planner together, like this is the standard, this is what I decide I'm gonna do, this is what I do. I realized for myself that motivation creates emotional momentum, and that's cool, but standards create the lifestyle momentum, and that's totally different. You have emotional momentum, then you have lifestyle momentum and they're totally different. Slew the big day in the building. There is kunkin down my BCU family in the building. What's up with you, bro? And lifestyle momentum is is actually sustainable. Lifestyle momentum is sustainable. Emotional momentum is not because your emotions change. You feel me. And that's where for me, like, that's where my system started becoming more powerful in my life. Not because it magically fixed everything, but it helped me reinforce my intentional standards daily. You understand what I'm saying. When I identified what my standards are, now I can reinforce them daily awareness, reflection, structure, focus, clarity, consistency, the repetition. That shit matters, man, because standards. Because I'm stronger through repetition, not intensity. You feel me, you can do this. You can go hard to paint for a little while and it won't and it won't have the same impact. It's repetition. What do you do repeatedly? Think about the things you do repeatedly, because if you look at your life, I guarantee you you can identify if you're my age, you can identify things that you do in your life repeatedly without even thinking. You understand what I'm saying. There's things that you do on autopilot without even thinking. You understand. You have routines and rituals that you do without even thinking. Repetition, not intensity, repetition. All right, So. Let me let me explain Somethwhere we're at twenty nine minutes, not too hateful. Still a little bit longer, but not too hateful. Let me explain something honestly about and this is I'm gonna talk about the system. Simple truth, many male, Let me explain something honestly, the simple truth, miny male. This is I'm gonna stop calling it the system and start calling this standard. It was never designed to put pressure on anybody into perfection. It's not that this was not designed for people to have be pressured into perfection. That was never the goal. The goal was intentional structure. Because I understand the power of having an intentional structure. My life is more. Conducive to the person I am becoming when I have intentional structure. You feel me, my life is My life is better when I have intentional structure. My relationships are better, my health is better, my mood and emotions and emotional wellness is better, My stress levels are better when I have intentional structure. And intentional structure helps reinforce standards. And that's why awareness matters. Review cycles matter, reflection matters, focus blocks matter, Intentional scheduling matters. You understand what I'm saying. Getting up every day, knowing where. You're supposed to be and what time you're supposed to be there matters. You feel me awareness Like when I talk about awareness, and I cannot stress this enough. If you have a look at your life and you understand your commitments, you understand your roles, you understand your responsibilities, You understand your energy deposits or the energy where your energy is being allocated to. When you really look at your life and understand those things, that makes a huge difference. You understand what I'm saying. When you get up and you just go through the motions in life every day, you don't understand things. You don't see it and you don't get it. That's why people don't understand the impact that your professional working environment has on your life. Here I am off script and off in the woods, right, but people don't understand that. People don't literally because you don't look at your life and you don't look at your time. You don't understand how much time actually goes into working. You feel me. And if you understood how much time you actually spent working, then it would make a whole lot of sense, Like you would be able to make more sense. You feel me. So I had when I got to this space and working, She heartstat what's up with you, love? I got to this space in my position, one of my positions is actually the last position, well not the last position, but in my professional career, I got into this space where I really assessed it and I looked at the time that I spent working. You understand what I'm saying. And I understood not just working, but I understood working. I understood the commute, I understood the preparation for work, iron in my clothes, getting everything together, packing lunch like I understood that all of that time that was put into work. And then I also understood and recognized when there was demands for work outside of those times, and I became a very difficult employee. I'm not gonna lie. I've told you that I had positions where they didn't have my personal number, don't have my personal cell phone, number. I would call it eight and the gate I would come to work. I would do my time at work, and then I would leave and be off to my life. You understand what I'm saying. Hell no, like you can't have any more of me? You feel me like this is what you're allotted. You are allotted. Eight was actually like ten hours out of my day. You feel me. That leaves me fourteen other hours that have to get allocated. You feel me. And if it's fourteen hours and you talking about you know what I mean? At the time I was, I was a single father, you know what I'm saying. But at the wild, I wasn't a single father. Let me say that. Let me say this right was I was. I was co parenting. You feel me. I was co parenting. But it was just like nigga, I got an allocate time to this baby. You feel me, I got an allocate time to my life. You understand what I'm saying, So like, like, cuz you get ten, that's it. I can't give you no more. But anyway, awareness matters. So you have to understand when you look at your life and you understand where your energy is actually going. Yeah, but your standards require support you feel me. You can't just say I value focus while living inside constant distractions. You understand what I'm saying, Like, you can't tell me that you value focus, and then you in the social media streets all day. Does that make sense? You can't tell me you value peace and then you're around chaos. You can't say I value growth, but then you avoid putting the structure in place that will line up with you, purdue with you actually achieving the growth that you desire. You can't avoid structure if you value growth. And that's why systems matter. Systems help your standards survive. You understand what I'm saying, And honestly, that's probably what changed things for me the most. The most wasn't the motivation, structure, awareness, intentionality, repeated standards that created momentum and not emotional not emotional height. And it was difficult. Let me say this, It was difficult. It was difficult because now I'm known as like I've changed. You feel me. People think I've changed. Loved ones they think I've changed. They think I'm funny acting, they think I'm snootye, they think you feel me, they think they think I think I'm better than everybody else. You understand, like it's it's it's it's the reality. I hate to say it that way, but it's the reality. When I start protecting my focus and I and I started, and I and I raised my standard, and I implemented my raised standard, and then I put in system to protect myself standard, Vonnie Bro Now I act funny. The fuckers think I act funny. They think I'm better than everybody else, and you feel me. And it didn't help that. You know, I've started building things, and I started cultivating different things, and then you know, appearing in different places, and things are starting to happen and shake out and they look differently, and people are looking at me like you know what I mean, Like I'm funny. It's just the truth. It's just the truth. But at the end of the day, it's all about my standard and my system. It's all about the standard and the system. Boxing and barbecue said structure requires a lot of discipline. See don't I don't, I don't, I don't. I don't disagree, Bro, I don't disagree, but I like to put a little I like to put a little twist on it. You feel me, because I think the more structure is in place, then it's less discipline, you feel me, because when your structure is tied to your identity, then it's just who you are and it doesn't necessarily require as much discipline. Now, when you start changing over, and you start and you move from being let's say, you move from being unstructured to creating a structure you feel me and and and a and a and an identity based structure, and you start implementing your systems, then it's going to require discipline. It's going to require a lot of discipline. But the but the goal is to change over, So what doesn't require as much discipline. You understand what I'm saying. It's the it's the it's the it's the it's the I don't know, man, it's just a wild thing that it's not wild, it's I'm trying to say it without or I'm trying to talk about it without getting all off foreign to the weeds. You understand what I'm saying. But it's like it's like, I don't know, like. Getting up going to work, bro, you feel me like you get up and go to work because it's a part of your identity. I'm a man, I get up and go to work. You understand what I'm saying. So now it's so much a part of your identity that you don't need as much discipline. You feel me, because you know that at this time, I gotta get up because I gotta go to work. I gotta get prepared, and I got to go to work. So you know that if you got to be at work at aam eight am, you know you can't be out to four am every night. Party. You feel me, there's not a lot of discipline attached to that. You understand what I'm saying. Felix says, if I wake up and do one hundred push ups every morning, is that structure or discipline depends on what part of the process that you're in. If you're just now starting and then you're and then you're you're trying to implement that and trying to make get into a structure, then when you first start, it's gonna be disciplined. But then you know people who get up and then do one hundred push ups automatic they do it before they go to the restroom. You understand what I'm saying, Like it's it's then becomes structure, Like they get up, do their push ups, go to the restroom, hit the shower. You feel me. So it just really truly depends. But the objective, the whole goal, is to move from discipline to it being identity based structure. You understand what I'm saying. Automatic, it's automatic. All right, let's make this practical. If you want like real change, then you have to stop chasing the motive, emotional motivation, and you have to start building standards, simple standards, not fantasy standards, real ones. For example, I protect my mornings, I finish what I start, I reduce my distractions, I review my week honestly, preview my week honestly. I create structure before chaos appears. Simple, repeatable, intentional. Then you report, you reinforce those standards consistently, not perfectly, but consistently, because repeated standards slowly reshape your identity. And so that's what I'm saying, that's how we move from discipline into identity based structure. You feel me, And that's where the repeated standards slowly reshape your identity. You understand what I'm saying. So, like for me, just as a man, I'm gonna give you a simple one, Like I avoid messiness, like a plague. You feel me. So if I'm around men and they start talking messy because I hate messy men. Respectfully, I hate messy men. So if I'm around men and they start talking messy, then I move around. It could be we could be in person, it could be on the telephone, it could be over the worldwide Web. When I see messy men, I remove myself. Men talking about other men, me and talking about other men who they laying who other men laying with? Men talking about gossipy shit, men talking about other men's money and man, I remove myself. I don't like messy men. You feel me. Like I'm I'm I'm I'm under the old law. I keep my eyes on my own paper, like the first day of school. I don't like messy men. I don't like me and that gossip. You understand what I'm saying. I don't like women that gossip, but but I despise men that that that gossip. I don't like that gossipy shit. So that's one of my personal standards. So I remove myself consistently, and I reinforced that standard. I'm weirded out by men that watch too much TV. I'm just gonna tell you the truth. I'm weirded out by men and talk to me that watch too much TV when men can tell me about this television show and that television show and that I'll be weirded out by that shit when men tell me like they like, and I'll take pockets in my life where I'm like on downtime and I'll binge watch the Sopranos, or I'll binge watch a Boardwalk in par or you know something Tombstone, or I'll try to watch something to give myself a relief. But like I'm man like, like bro, I'm like man, you can sit around and literally watch TV like I watched the Knicks and I don't even turn the TV on it unless I'm watching the Knicks or or you know, some football or something and I'll watch or boxing, of course, you know, I'll watch that and then other than that, I'm moving. But I don't watch a lot of TV shows. You feel me anyway, I'm just then, I gotta go repeated standards slowly re shape your identity. I'm gonna close this out so I can move on. Because you don't need motivation. That's all I need you to understand. You don't need motivation. You don't need motivation, yeah, Felix Dow that says UFC. Yeah, I've been intentional watching UFC, especially now since we've started covering it over with the on the Punch Junkie with the guy Kay Underscore said, if it ain't boxing TV, watch me like bruh. I literally man, if it ain't man. But anyway, that's one of my standards. I removed myself from messy men. We gotta do better, folks, man men fellas, we gotta do better. That's that's a whole different conversation. That's a whole different conversation, man, Like, that's a that's a whole different conversation. Because that's the standard we need to we need to we need to raise, you feel me. That's the standard we need to raise. Our apreciate your king, Vonnie, that's the standard we need to raise, like our level of conversation, you feel me. Have you ever had somebody bring a conversation to you and you just look at him like and just walk like, I'll pimp off on a conversation in a minute, Like, Bro, why are you over here talking to me about that? You understand what I'm saying? Go over there and talk to him. You understand, And that is a problem. That's one of my problems within like varying organizations and whatnot. Like I don't really do the I don't really do that, he said. She said, shit, I don't really do that, he said. She said, shit. That's part of my issue with the Bible. The Bible was he said, she said, you feel me like, nah, bro, I want to like literally that nah, because if you call me and say, man, it's such and such said that, like, I'm not gonna have a conversation with you about what somebody said you feel me. No, I'm a call and talk directly to the source, and I just think that it's me. And this is no disrespect to the women folk, but men are, as a man me and are, we are to be solution based, you understand what I'm saying, not problem based. So if there is. An issue, then the whole goal is to reach a resolution, and to reach a resolution quickly so we can get back to producing. Because a man is judged by what he produces. So if there's an issue, then there is a problem. Then there's a hitch in a gidea up that's going to keep me from producing. So let's go get to the issue and resolve the issue. Pittsburgh, big dog, what's up with your hommie? Like, let's resolve the issue so we can get back to producing. You feel me. I don't want. To englf myself in the issue. No, I want to resolve the issue and move forward. And if it's an issue that can't be resolved, then we can respectfully get the fuck away from each other. You understand what I'm saying, and so I don't understand like the kiddy, the going back and forth. So if a person caused me and they have an issue with this person, my natural reaction is to say, hey, man, did you talk to them? You feel me? And I'm going to direct you to go talk to that person, because that's what men do. You understand what I'm saying, That's what men do. I don't understand the I don't understand the other stuff. God don't get that. So anyway, but let me close this out. This conversation matters. Motivation fades, life changes. Your energy is gonna fluctual, weight pressure, pressure, pressure, It's gonna show up. Your distractions are gonna appear, but your standards help you stay grounded. And that's why you don't need more motivation. You need standards strong enough to guide your behavior when motivation disappears. Did you hear what I just said? You need standards that are strong enough to guide your behavior when your motivation thiss. And that's why I have a hard time to understand emotionally driven behavior. I don't that don't compute. You need standards strong enough to guid your behavior when motivation disappears. That's maturity, that's intentional living. And if I and to tell the truth, that's where real peace starts showing up when you have standards strong enough to guid your behavior when motivation disappears. So I'm gonna ask you for I get out of here, what standard would change your life if you actually live by it consistently. That's something for you to mull over and chew on and hopefully hopefully it will sting you for the rest of the day, because I need you to think about it. What standard would change your life if you actually lived by it consistently? You think about that, honestly, Think about that honestly, because I'm telling you, man, it's the Black Coffee Club.
