Have you reached the point where you know you need to change? I know I did. Right after I had my health scare, it jolted me to realize that I needed to change how I lived my life. I needed to take my fitness seriously, and at first, I was so lost on where to get started. The gym seemed intimidating and hiring a personal trainer was too expensive for my budget.

When it felt like all hope was lost, I found Peloton. It completely changed my life for the better and helped me not only get my health under control, but increased my confidence in my own body.

Sometimes

It's just you and God. It's just you and God where you gotta put the work in alone and you have to identify your strengths and your weaknesses and you gotta become self-aware and you've gotta identify where you are self-sabotaging and you've gotta train your body and your mind. You've gotta bring yourself to peak condition. You gotta develop your strengths and increase your capacity and your endurance.

And you've got to stretch and you've got to push and you've got to pull and you've got to leap and you've got to run. And sometimes you will grow weary and there will be days when you don't want to get out of bed, when you don't want to eat, you don't have the energy to think.

And nobody calls you and nobody texts you and nobody checks on you. And very few believe that you will ever come out of this darkness. You will ever come out of this hole. You have to believe. Here's one of the number one keys to your future. Faith. Man, you got to believe. You will need night vision. You got to be able to see in the dark. It's you and God.

Until my team shows up, I will fulfill my destiny! I will be undefeated! I will be unstoppable! I will be a force to be reckoned with! No weapon that is formed against me will be able to prosper!

I am destined, I am determined, I am devoted, I am dangerous! I gotta wipe the blood out of my eyes and start to see that it's possible that I can come out of this place of misery. I can come out of this place of self-doubt and self-sabotage and fear and anxiety and this idea that my industry is saturated, that there's enough people, there is only one you!

to face the adversity with a fierce determination, a hunger and a resilience, and a devotedness to your destiny. I am devoted to my purpose. I am committed to the journey, the process, the pruning, the shaping, the reforming, the preparing, the conditioning. Whatever it takes, I will get it. One man wrecking

There are going to be seasons in your life where you're going to have to learn how to hunt alone. This is the beauty of hunting.

A soldier in solitary. A man or a woman who does not lose their identity because they're in a wilderness. There are seasons where life will summon you to march to the beat of your own drum. To trailblaze, to innovate, to adapt and create. To do something nobody's ever done in your family. And for some of you to do something no one has ever done in the earth.

Goliath had the audacity to speak against the children of God. And one man out of an army became a one-man wrecking machine. You will face very dark hours in this journey of building, of trailblazing, of innovating, of creating something, of manifesting it, of birthing it, of transitioning. This version of yourself has to die. You gotta learn how to put God first, eliminate all distractions. He will be your strength and your shield.

People are always looking for the everything must go signs and store closing soon and sales.

And we pack these stores out because everything must go. And some of you, man, you need to get this mentality that says, man, everything that doesn't serve the vision must go. Everything that does not line up with my level one priorities must go. Come on. One man wrecking machine. I got stuff to demo. I got stuff that needs to get out of my mind, out of my heart. I need to stop living in the past. Come on. Is this helping anybody? There will be seasons where you will need to be self-sufficient, where

where you're gonna have to learn survival skills. It's your time to gather intelligence, to master strategy. You gotta learn how to strike while the iron is hot. From the shadows, out of obscurity, out of the ashes of where people left you for dead. Come on, you gotta dig yourself out of that place with the help of God. Come on. I need you to believe that you are good enough to adapt.

to innovate, to improvise, and to bring creative solutions to your place of pain. I know what it's like to feel like you are losing your place and losing your mind. Everything around you is crumbling. You are being challenged on every level and life will knock you on your back and dare you. Yo, get up. I dare you to get up.

One man wrecking machine There are people that you walk past every day that are dying on the inside because they don't know who they are They don't know their value. They don't know their purpose. I don't care if you're an athlete a musician an entertainer an innovator a philanthropist a poet a singer a

A filmmaker. I don't care who you are. And you're going to be scratching your head, sliding down the wall, asking yourself, are you still called? Where's my audience? Where's my tribe? Where are my followers? Why am I even doing this content? Why show up every single day? Because eventually the tide will begin to change. Accept the reality that there will be seasons in your life where you will need to walk alone.

There will be seasons where you will be isolated in a type of wilderness where you are going to have to figure it out, where you are going to have to dig deep inside of yourself and unleash the devotedness and the commitment and the resilience and the determination and discover the game plan and the blueprint and the software and the hardware that is required to

to execute, to implement the information that you have acquired. We've got journals full of dreams, but we hate to embrace the reality. There are portions of that dream that you have to manifest by yourself. And in that season, nobody shows up. Let me make this very clear.

You are an unrepeatable miracle. There is nobody like you in all of the earth. God knew you before you were shaped in your mother's womb. He has a plan to equip you and anoint you and prosper you and heal you and give you an expected end. The very destiny of others are dependent on the decisions that you make and the distractions that you are willing to eliminate.

And you got to walk through valleys. You got to walk through devastation. You got to master the ability to sit in that pain and not abort the mission. Am I helping anybody? Drop it in the comments right now.

But drop it in the comments. It's me and God. It's me and God. It's me and God. You may have family. You may have support. You may have somebody on your team that believes in you. But there will still come seasons where it will feel as though, and quite literally for many of you, it's just you and God. It's just you and God. I am a one-man wrecking ball. The moment that you get this reality, the lights are going to turn on upstairs. Here it is. You ready for it?

What if I told you that right now, millions of people are living with a debilitating condition that's so misunderstood, many of them don't even know that they have it?

That condition is obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD. I'm Dr. Patrick McGrath, the Chief Clinical Officer of NoCD. And in the 25 years I've been treating OCD, I've met so many people who are suffering from the condition in silence, unaware of just what it was. OCD can create overwhelming anxiety and fear around what you value most, make you question your identity.

beliefs, and morals, and drive you to perform mentally and physically draining compulsions or rituals. Over my career, I've seen just how devastating OCD can be when it's left untreated. But help is available. That's where NoCD comes in. NoCD is the world's largest virtual therapy provider for obsessive compulsive disorder.
