I was not always this strong guy you see. I went through a lot of hard times in my life to get here today. All I wanted to be was an uncommon man. In my whole life I was not that much worse than that. I know what it takes to be a combat soldier and I used to look for courage. I thought courage was a man who won the Medal of Honor. It is. But courage is a man who's willing to put those boots on every single day of his life

to go out there and fight for this country where nobody even knows what the hell they're doing or where the hell they're at. There is something poetic about a 39-year-old man winning New Artist of the Year. I don't know where you're at in your life or what you're going through, but I want to tell you to keep going, baby. I want to tell you success is on the other side of it. I want to tell you

If you want to be great, man, prepare to get up off that mat. You're going to get knocked down over and over and over. And even when you feel like, no, I can't be hit this hard. Or if you're down there thinking, it's no way I can get up from this.

That's when you're just starting. You cannot change your life unless you change something. If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got. At some point, everything's going to go south on you. Everything's going to go south and you're going to say, this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that or you can get to work. That's all it is. You just begin.

And you are either going to evolve or expire. You are either dying or you are either living. Stop depending on other people. Stop waiting for someone to change your life. You have to change your life. But I haven't worked this hard to not do what I truly want. Like, I haven't got this far by being someone else. I've got this far by being true to myself. You've got your own damn malevolence and ignorance, right? All coming at you. Plus the incredible, complicated...

indeterminate potential of the future. That's all coming at you and it's all your responsibility and you can cringe away from it and be afraid of it and be victimized by it and be bitter and cynical about it and no wonder because it can be painful or you can turn around and you can say, man, bring it on. The 10 words that will ruin your life are what will other people say and what will other people think.

So whoever you are, wherever you are, do you. One of the most important potents to anything that you want out of success is discipline. That means no excuses. That means no laying around. That means all of this I can or I cannot do or I won't do or I don't know how to do it. We're going to show you how to figure it out. But it starts with you. Discipline.

Discipline yourself. Stop making excuses. Stop saying, "I don't like to get up in the morning." At least you got up. Stop saying what you can't do and start doing the right things to get what you need to do right. That means get up and focus on what's going to make you a better individual all across the board. It's not going to work unless I change. And nothing changes in my life until I change. How can you ever change yourself?

You think that you're a Gandhi, but how can you be a Gandhi if you won't look at yourself and change yourself, right? The only way you can become good or overcome some of these qualities is by looking at it, seeing the reality, and then confronting it and then trying to change it. Who the hell are you? You think you're a miracle of some bloody bizarre sort?

We've been around for three and a half billion years. You know, every single one of your relatives propagated successfully. And here you are, against all possible odds, in this world of hell in some sense, and bitterness, and tyranny, and malevolence. And yet, God only knows what's inside you. This capacity for consciousness, the capacity to confront potential, and to turn it into something good. You know better.

but you're not doing better. That's some scary shit. For you to decide, here's limitations, but I'm so used to doing wrong and being dysfunctional. I know better, but I don't want to do better. Without that work ethic, you know, greatness cannot be achieved. You know, anytime I hit a big shot, I mean, you know, everyone would be so surprised.

and just like, "Wow! I would be surprised if I didn't make it." You know? I put the work into this, like, every day, all day. And then when I'm done with it, guess what I do? I dream about it. I visualize it. I see myself being successful. And then I'll do it again. There's a million excuses I could make to rationalize not getting up early, doing the ice bath, and going for a run.

But there comes a time when all these potential excuses turn into fuel that motivates you to keep going. When I wake up in the morning and I look out the window and see that it's pouring rain, I don't question if I'll be out there running. I just get excited at the fact that I'll be out there and I wonder what it's going to feel like to face that discomfort and overcome it. Some people are going to call you a loser.

Some people are going to make fun of you for failing. Some people are going to count you out. Call you weak. Say you will never amount to anything. What you going to do? Are you going to prove them right? Or are you going to prove them wrong?

See how good we could make things and maybe that would be the purpose of your damn life, right? So I learned because I looked at dark things that I learned that the light was more powerful than the darkness as far as that I was concerned and that people were capable each of us of remarkable things and that we need to know that that's what we are. We're this consciousness that confronts potential with all its catastrophe.

That's what we are. Success isn't about greatness. It's about consistency. No one's born great. Greatness is something that is earned through consistency. If you show up day after day and work hard, if you give your full effort, if you leave nothing on the table, then greatness and success will come. What it really comes down to is people just don't want it bad enough.

Because I've seen countless examples of people that will say they don't have time, that say they don't know how, but when something becomes important enough for them, they figure it out. One of the things you have to understand about life is everything changes and everything ends. And that kind of sounds heavy on the front end, but it's a truth. If everything changes and everything ends, number one, it should make you appreciate what you have right now. And then my view is what's next is always better.

I want to be up there and anybody in the world wants me to be down. And it's all about, like I said before, self-belief. My whole success is from belief. Something I can feel but not actually see.

If you're anything like us, you love attention. And my favorite way to get all eyes on me is with next level shiny, glossy hair.

Because TRESemmé partnered with us to bring you 1-800-GLOSS,

Hi, I'm Michelle Bernstein, an award-winning chef, restaurateur, and mom. I have a lot on my plate, including my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. That's why I was prescribed Cosentix. It helps me move better.
