I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal of them. Michigan most ruthless champion has ever been I'll show you how much you can truly burn. They left you for dead. I know what that feels like to be left for dead after you gave everything you had Tomorrow night, I'm gonna smash your boy guys. I'm gonna smash your boy
They will not see you coming as you rise, as you work every single day tirelessly. Work, work, work, work.
Word, damn it! Word! Word! Word! Word! Word! Word! Word! Stand up and show them why you're better! You don't know me, son! Get it! 18! You don't know me, son! Get it! 19! You don't know me, son! Yeah! One more! Get it!
It's time you realize that weakness, it is my strength. That pain, it is my development. That struggle, it is my triumph. Everything you think that is here to take me down is here to fill me up. I ask you, what is happening to us, my friends? What is happening to us?
And what are we becoming? What are we becoming? What are we becoming, my friend? What are we becoming? You know we've been fighting 400 steel fighting to this day. To this day. To this day. At practice, when I'm training or doing games, I switch my mind to something else. I switch my mode to something else. For me, it's the equivalent of...
Maximus, Desmus, Meridius and Gladiator picking up the dirt, smelling the dirt. It's go time. I never underdid things, I always overdid things. When the war drums sound, the people that have been to war are the ones that actually say, "Let's think about this first." Because, like I said before, and like everyone says all the time, and they say it like it's no big deal, but war is hell. Before you do that, you should think about why you're doing it and understand if...
The people have the will to fight. And the will to fight, as I've said many times before, the will to fight is the will to kill and it's the will to die. And those are some pretty big wills that you need to have.
This is your life, my friend. And I'm sure when it's all said and done, you don't want to look back and see that you wasted it. This is your life, my friend. So you stand up. This is your life, my friend. So you rise up. This is your life, my friend. So you keep going. This is your life, my friend. So you never give up. This is your life, my friend. You need to keep going. This is your life, my friend. This is what you can't control.
So you may fail, you refuse to tolerate it. So you may fall, you refuse to stay down. So you may lose the battle, you refuse to lose the war. Reach the point of no return, my friend, where you're always willing to give more.
My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart I want to eat his children. We all in the same room and saying nothing to each other. Everybody's game face like we going to war with each other. The way I look back then, you know, that was all good and great but I wasn't in it to look a certain way. I was in it to be great. Out of the hundred men that go into war, ten shouldn't even fucking be there. Eighty of them are just targets.
Nine do most of the fighting. One is a warrior. And bodybuilding initially made me have to look at who I am as an individual. Do I want to do the training? Okay, fine, I can train. But do I really want to diet? Do I really want to give up time with friends? Do I want to be misunderstood? All humans are not created equal. Some people just have a beautiful hand of cards. Yes. That guy's got four aces and he puts them right in your face. Boom!
I know if I bet on myself, I know I can dictate everything. I run everything. I'm the boss. Take 10 seconds to get it again, Beast. Get it, baby. Come on. Yeah, there you go. There you go. Energy. Let it out. 7, 8, 9, 10. The machine here. There you go. Nobody works like David in this house. 13. Come on. 14. Come on. 15. Shut that muscle down. 16. Come on.
Get it! Seventeen! We wanna see it! Good! Twenty-two! Who's gonna carry the boats in the lawns? All of us is not in time to let go of you! You gotta put yourself in that cage. When you're in that cage, you are that character. And when you leave there, it's something completely different. But when I'm in that cage, bro, don't touch me, don't talk to me, leave me alone. Push that last rep. Push with everything you got.
Tell excuses to step aside. Let weakness know that it is not welcome in your house. Go get it. Go get it now and give it everything you got. Be productive. And from the bottom of my heart, conduct your business. Above being beast mode. It's above life and death mode. Life is always giving you a test. Trying to give you a way out. Trying to give you an excuse not to show up.
You gotta have the mentality to show up every f*cking day of your life. No matter what life throws at you, it's our responsibility to show up to the coliseum of life, prepared for f*cking battle. I don't care what you're going through, what life's throwing at you, it's your responsibility to find your new 100%. A part of being a beast is to hunt.
It's the hunt that they're excited about. They like to see the gazelles run. Then boom, they take off. Because real lions like to hunt. They love the process just as much as they love the prize. And some of y'all just want to score. You don't like the process. You're not in love with the process. Everybody want to be a beast until it's time to do what beasts do.
You are a beast. Let others talk about how good you are, how strong you are, how fast you are, how smart you are, how successful you are. That's when you know you're a shark, when others are talking about you. It's about putting it on the line. It's about pushing yourself and giving it 110% of everything you got.
I know sometimes people say they're lying, but you can't be a lion if you don't understand the rules of the jungle. Keep your commitment never to go back to the life that you once lived. Keep your commitment to creating wealth for yourself, to taking care of your children, to be more responsible. Keep your commitment to live a life of contribution, to keep your commitment to be a conqueror and to have
and to have authority and dominion of everything in your life. One of those reasons I got on one of my tapes, if life knocks you down, try and land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Your reasons will help you to get back up again. You're gonna face no and rejection every day, but if you're hungry enough, the world will make a place for you. You're afraid of f***ing effort. We're all being tested. And that road to success is above the a**hole road.
Do you think you have the mindset now? Beast Mode! Again, again, again, again. Type it in the chat. Again, again, again, again. If it's life-giving, if it's serving your purpose, if it's going to transform you into something you never thought you could be, then do it again.
Do it again. Type it in the chat, drop it in the comments, man. Again, again, again, again. This thing served me. This thing helped me. It hurt, but it's helping me. And it's building a bridge to the future and the destiny that I've been called to fulfill. Period.
Every time you go back, you're building muscle. You're building mentality. You're building endurance. You're establishing faith. It takes faith to get out of this, to crawl yourself out of a messy history and leave a legacy.
It is the man that refuses to quit. It is the man that refuses to put down his gloves that separates winners from wannabes. It is diligence and dedication and determination that separates the all-time greats from the one-hit wonders. Do you want to do this thing one time? Or do you want to be notorious for winning over and over and over again?
I just want to know, is anybody listening that wants to do it again? I don't want to win one time. I don't want to be noticed one time. I don't want to make history one time. I want to do it over and over again. Do it again. No matter how hard it was, no matter how much you cried and you sweat and you bled, do it again. Again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again.
Your goals are posted on your wall. You commit privately and publicly to the call that's on your life. You think about it day and night. Whatever it is, it's time to shatter the ceiling above your head, to break records, to shatter the status quo, to punch through targets. It's your time. It's your turn.
You've doubted yourself long enough. People have left you, overlooked you, undervalued you, underpaid you. It's your time to connect. It's your time to get paid. It's your time to sign the deal. It's your time. If you quit, go back, dust yourself off, and try one more. Show me your habits, and I will show you your future.
It is what we do habitually. It is what we do every single day that determines the measure of significance that we get to live this life. Everybody wants to drive something, live somewhere, be connected. There are protocols that must be in place. There are actions that must be taken. Not just thoughts that you must think, but words that you must speak and actions that must be taken and coordinates to where it is that you are going. You are going somewhere. You're either going back or you're going forward.
Everybody wants a comeback, but nobody wants a setback. You can't have a comeback without a setback. You are going to experience loss. You are going to have seasons in your life where you're not going to understand why and how you got where you are. Many of you have been the villain in your own story, and it's time to become the hero.
The drama and the chaos, the narrative is about to change. The story is about to clear up. This is not a conversation about going back to everything that you left. There are some things, there are some people, there are some places that once we leave, we don't ever need to go back because we were tormented and we were haunted and we were abused and we were talked about and we were overlooked and undervalued and underpaid. The reason why he didn't win
It's because you gave up too soon. You took the exit too quickly. You were on the freeway to freedom. You were en route. You were following the instructions. You were following the coaching. You were listening to the video. Somebody drop it in the comments. I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm staying the course. I'm focused. I'm dialed in.
It's the man that stays on the freeway in the middle of a traffic jam and doesn't exit that reaches the point of destiny. Will you put in the work? Will you stay the course? Will you try it again? Are you willing to change perspective to see this thing differently?
to get to the place of optimal performance and significance of fulfillment. Where every day you are looking for life, you have an expectation, you have a zeal, you're excited, you're ecstatic. You've got a bold anticipation for the future. With each day that is presented to you, you have an opportunity to change everything. Whatever it is, if it's life-giving, if it's going to impact someone else.
If it's going to empower you to live a life of fulfillment and significance, then do it again. You may be in a courtroom. You may be in a cage. You may be on the basketball court. You may be on the football field. You may be down by 40 at halftime. It is the man that comes back round after round that may have taken a beating physically, but he is not broken mentally. That comes back.
round after round after round after round and he goes back into the darkroom and he puts the work and he comes back out into the light and he puts on a show put on a show
I'm talking to every builder, every athlete, every professional, every stay-at-home mom, every father that puts in the work day and night to provide for his family. I don't know what your dream is. I don't see your vision. But if you write it down and you put the work in and you beat on your craft and you give it everything you have and you give yourself to your work,
At some point, everything's going to begin to shift and change because you refused to quit. This isn't just a conversation about trying again. This is a conversation about winning again. When we try something again and again and again, eventually, when we set a target and we begin to run towards it, no matter how many times we are beaten out, eventually, we run through the target. And so trying again becomes win again.
And I just came to tell somebody today that's listening to me that eventually you're not going to be the man or the woman, the boy, the girl that tries again. Eventually. There is a warrior inside of you that will emerge. There is a person that refuses to lose that will be birthed of a setback.
And you are no longer the person who is known for coming back from a loss, but you are known for the person that wins again and again and again. No matter how many times I face this giant, I am surrounded by walls a hundred times taller than me. They gotta fall down because I have made winning a habit. Win again, punch through again.
You gotta go to this trying mentality. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna give it a try. I will. I will break out of the, I'm gonna try. I'll try to smile. I'll try to be happy. I'll try to make it a good day. I will smile. I will make it a good day. I will win again. I will bring my A game again. I will give it everything I have again.
This mentality, this approach to living is what builds the bridges to the future. This is how we cement our legacy. He is a man. She is a woman that was born to shock the world. This is madness. It's madness if I stay poor. It's madness if I stay depressed. It's madness if I stay broke. It's madness if I don't get fit.
It's madness if I don't put in the work. It's madness if I don't believe. It's madness if I don't get my family part of the hood. That's madness. Madness is not working for it. Madness is sitting in your bed, giving up on your dream. That is madness. But the real freedom is in putting in the work. This is madness. So if they think that you are mad, let them talk.
Let them wonder, because the madness sets you apart from everyone else. And so let me look crazy for a season, and I'll live the rest of my life like a legend. If it breaks me, it's making me into something I could have never been. You can hate all you want to, but I understood the work that was required to put in. Because I'm working at this thing so hard, and I look mad and crazy.
That's when people start questioning your mental state. This is madness! The naysayers, let 'em talk! Because they too lazy to do the work! I am committed, and I don't care if this thing takes everything I have! I'm going after it! You will believe, even when others don't! Bring the madness!
We're gonna make it! We're gonna make it, my friend! We're gonna make it! We're gonna make it through! Remember, it was never designed to break you. It was designed to make you. Call me mad now. Call me legend later.
I don't care what anybody says. I visualize myself driving what I've been called to drive, living where I've been called to live, getting my family a part of the hood. I visualize myself. My family won't have to struggle. If I'm going to eat, everybody going to eat. If I'm going to win, everybody going to win. This is a time for you to realize who you are inside. That blood that flows through your veins, that's who you are.
There's no weakness there. There's nothing that's holding you back but yourself. But the madness, you got to stay with it. And sometimes I've got to amputate some people out of my life because they don't understand. Because they don't understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it.
And it's draining me to keep explaining to them why I'm doing what I'm doing. Some people are never going to get it until you lift the trophy in the air. Some people are never going to get it until you lift the diploma in the air. Some people are never going to get it until you win. Then they're going to ask you, how did you do it?
I did it when you thought I was crazy. I did it when you thought I should have quit. I did it when you thought I should have got more sleep. When you thought I should have went on vacation. I was willing to look crazy. I was willing to look foolish. I was willing to look like I wasn't going down the right path. So if someone thinks that you're a little out of control, no, they're out of control. You in control because they can't control you. No one has that power over you unless you give it to them.
Stop buying it to the nonsense that's out there today. Start trusting in yourself today. Because this is not the time to look down. This is the time to get up. This is the time to show up. Who you are right now has gotten you as far as you're going to get. And so whatever it is that you're going after, you got to become another person to get there.
It's the people that are willing to look foolish in front of everybody to accomplish that one thing. It's the crazies that make history. I'll look mad if I have to. I'll look crazy if I have to. To many, it will seem as though I've lost my mind. But it is right at that point where I shot the world. And I'm going to give it everything I have. I'm the man that decided to start unknown and finish unforgettable.
