The worst excuse I hear on a daily basis is…
"I'm tired."
You can't use the excuse of being tired...
It's not relevant.
Everybody is fucking tired.
The minute you wake up, you start to lose energy.
I didn't make the rules...
That's just the way it is.
You're going to get up, have some energy for a couple hours … then the afternoon comes, and you're going to be tired.
That's just how it works.
So when you say... "Oh I'm tired."
You have to understand how pathetic that excuse actually is.
Everyone who has ever accomplished anything great has been tired...
You can't count on feeling great every day.
If you want to fulfill your true potential in life...
Your effort has to go beyond what your energy level is.
I think of energy like a tank...
The average person is going to use only 20-30% of their tank a day since they're mentally weak.
High achievers will run their tank down as low as possible...
Down to 5%...
Down to 3%...
Down to 1%...
...and even past 0%.
They understand that the truly great shit doesn't start to happen until your effort pushes further than what your energy level is.
When you push this hard, you'll start to realize how being tired is all mental.
Success comes down to your ability to expend energy when it isn't there...
Most people just can't grasp this because they've never done it.
This is why you don't look the way you want to look...
This is why you don’t feel the way you want to feel...
This is why you aren't making the money you want to make...
All because you can't push past the mental excuse of being tired...
While other people can.
