0:00 choosing yourself is radical accountability last week we talked about building a calloused mind this is the first step this is the foundation under the foundation forget toughness if you haven't mastered this because ownership begins right now not when you feel ready not when you have a perfect plan it begins when you don't have all the answers that's0:21 where most people quit they hit a wall of uncertainty and they stop they wait for a sign they wait for a map they wait for someone to come along and tell them it's gonna be okay and here's exactly what to do next you are not most people you don't get the luxury of waiting the world doesn't give0:38 a damn about your plan it will punch you in the mouth whether you have one or not so what do you do you start anyway you take the first step into the dark that is where ownership is forged in the darkness in the doubt when you have every reason to stand still but you move because you understand0:56 that action creates clarity you can't think your way out of a problem you behaved your way into you have to work your way out and that work starts before you have it all figured out it has to here's the second part of the equation no drama no excuses this is where the real war is fought inside your1:16 own head excuses are the softest warmest blanket in the world they feel good they sound reasonable i'm too tired i don't have time the conditions aren't right it's not my fault it's theirs every excuse is a lie you tell yourself to avoid the pain of effort it's a negotiation with mediocrity and you're letting mediocrity win you need1:39 to become allergic to your own excuses the second one comes out of your mouth you need to taste it like poison because that's what it is it's poison to your potential and the drama the storytelling the long sad tale of why things are so hard for you cut it out all of it stop narrating the injustice and1:58 start rewriting the ending nobody is coming to save you nobody cares about your sob story they have their own your story is a weight you can either carry it on your back for the rest of your life or you can put it down and start building something with your two hands taking ownership means you fire the script2:14 writer in your head the one who's always casting you as the victim you are the hero of your own story but heroes don't whine they don't blame the dragon they just go slay the damn dragon so look at your life right now the job the bank account the reflection in the mirror every single part of it you2:34 are responsible for all of it the good the bad the ugly it doesn't matter if you had a bad start it doesn't matter if someone wronged you it's your life now and your current reality is the direct result of your choices your standards and your actions2:50 that might feel heavy good it should but it's also where your power comes from because if you are responsible for the mess you are the only one with the power to clean it up stop waiting for the world to be fair it isn't stop waiting for the perfect moment it's not coming your life is happening right now3:12 every second you spend making an excuse is a second you've lost forever own your morning own your workout own your mistakes own your wins own every single inch of your life that is radical accountability it's not a feeling it's a decision make it
