Metal Motivation: Daily Screams for Living Aggressively

The strength of a society is determined by its people, but the strength of people is not found in anything outside of themselves. Strength begins within each of us and is then manifested in our outlook, speech, and actions.

Without direction, you will dwell aimlessly. That means your life is going nowhere. You might be busy, but all that work is not leading to a particular goal. You're just surviving or getting by. It's time for that to change.

You need fortitude, and fortitude is courage in the midst of pain and adversity. No matter what mountain you face. No matter what fiery trial lies before you. You have the ability to overcome it.

What would've rolled off the backs of previous generations now sends some people into therapy. We've managed to produce a weaker people—a world with too many whiners. We need a new kind of people. We need a revolution in you!

It's important when it comes to achieving an attitude of victory that you understand what's at stake, that you understand what you get if you achieve your goals, and that you understand what you lose if you stay where you are. You've got one shot. You don't get multiple shots at this. You don't get to do this over, and the clock is ticking on the only life that you've got. So what are you going to...

You've got goals to achieve so let's keep you consistent. Let's keep you fired up and motivated. How does that happen? Changes in your attitude, outlook, and mindset. That's exactly the kind of thing that's going to put you in the dominant position. We've got to keep you there because life has a lot more hell coming your way. But what are you going to do about it? The only thing you need to be con...

Real change begins when there is a fundamental change at your core, and that's going to be your attitude, your mindset, the way you see things. Is it an attitude of defeat or an attitude of victory? Do you believe you are the one to prevail? Would you guarantee a job done because you believe in yourself? It's that kind of attitude that creates a positivity that brings more energy to your action. Y...

Your attitude is the way you approach life, the way you understand things, and your interpretation of events and what other people do or say. An attitude of defeat means you expect that it's going to be too hard and you will probably quit early; it will be just like the last time where you fell short. An attitude of victory is the opposite. You're saying no, no matter what it takes, I'm going to p...

What determines the outcome of your life? It's attitude! What we need is an attitude of victory which means that even when our circumstances and people are against us, we still believe we will be triumphant over all of it. This is how we prevail. This is how we win. This is how we never give up. It all comes down to having an attitude of victory. Attitude is originally an aviation term that psycho...

Do you have any idea of what your potential is? Maybe you've always wanted to own a business, play music, learn how to cook, have the ideal partner, do certain things with your kids, or have a certain car that you've always wanted; don't demean these things. If it means something to you, it means something to you. But like I said before, it's not so much the possession that makes you happy, it's t...

Every single day I begin again. There's still so much more to live, do and be. I don't want to be guilty of demeaning the days I have left. I'm excited about the possibilities of tomorrow because there's so much more to do and achieve. I still have a vision of life and certain goals that I want to achieve. I want to be able to be on my last day and say I gave it my all right. And that's the meanin...

Life is not over for you yet. You still have time. You've got time left to achieve the things that you've always wanted to do. Why not dedicate an hour a day or the weekends to that? What's stopping you? If you've got time to devote to television and other things, don't you have time to devote to achieving some goals and creating the life you've always wanted to have? You can have that. The issue...

I want you to put regret to death. I don't want you to live with it. And the best way to do that is to take steps towards some semblance of the things that you've always wanted to do, the life that you've always wanted to live. Maybe you think it's over. There is no opportunity. There's nothing that you can do about that. So, you just kind of say, forget about it. Let me learn to be happy in the c...

Your life may not have turned out as you wanted, but your life is not over. Muster your strength, make new plans, and head in a new direction. It's the best way to kill regret. You can't stop time, and you can't reverse it. Once time is spent, time is gone. This is why it's easy to fall into regret because you may feel like you wasted a lot of time. Have you achieved what you wanted in life? Don't...

You have to work with yourself. You are your own best coach. You are your own best therapist. So, keep things relatively simple. It's going to be painful because you're going to learn new habits, new habits of thought, new habits of dealing with yourself, but you must work with yourself. I want to encourage you not to try and rely upon other people or other things for relief. I want you to rely mo...

If you want to stop feeling down, you have to control the monologue you have in your head. Meditation is a great tool to do this. I'm not a huge advocate of emptying yourself. What I do is put my mind to more productive use. I give myself empowering content to think about. And for me, the very basic way that I would recommend that someone meditates, with the goal being to be able to control their...

Oftentimes when you're feeling down and you can't pinpoint the reason for it, that's when the physical, chemical, and physiological issues come in. You haven't got enough sleep, you're not paying attention to what you eat, and just not getting the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that you need. We tend to make our feeling down something other than it is and not realize that our emotions and menta...

We want to get you out of this mild depression that you're in. And again, there is a number of ways to do that, but you may need to separate yourself for a little bit. You may need to get away from things for a little bit in order to get your head right, to get your heart right so that you can see things objectively. Maybe it's just going out for the night with friends or getting outside away from...

We all have seasons where we feel down, where we're less vibrant, less resilient, not enthusiastic, just not happy. You may feel powerless, but truth be told, you are not powerless. There are a lot of things that you can do to help offset or ease some measure of that pain. And the most important thing to realize is it's just feelings. Feelings change. Feelings come and go. Feelings are determined...

People can be a huge distraction, and you've got to guard yourself and your time. People will eat it up. You must guard your sacred duty to develop yourself to become all you can be. And people will take that from you. Spend time with people that need something from you like family or people that build you up. If you spend time with friends, make sure that going out will not hinder your determinat...

One of the big things that hinder us is our consumption of media. For the most part, for those who are challenged with laziness, their big bondage is to media consumption that is entertaining. So, if you're going to begin to wean yourself off of that, my suggestion is don't try to just cut it off; instead replace your consumption of media with other forms of media that will inspire, teach, and mot...

Learning to do things you don't normally want to do requires a taste for outcomes. And you can't get a taste for outcomes if everything you set yourself to do is too big for you right now. So, if we can create smaller tasks, smaller achievements that are much, much easier for you to do, and you can do them daily, that will give you a taste over time for work, a taste over time for achievement. Sel...

Work is a good thing, and that's something you need to learn. It's not bad to love work. I'm talking about maximizing your life through the vehicle of work. Work is what proves us. Work is what develops us. Work is what teaches us things. You need work. You need that labor, especially when it comes to developing the things you desire in life. If you look at all the great things that have been achi...

Laziness and procrastination are all too common. What a miserable place to be in when you have a craving or desire for something better in life but don't find the will to do it. You don't find yourself being willing to do the daily disciplines that will create what you want. Your challenge is self-discipline. Your challenge is self-control. Your challenge is getting yourself to do the things neces...

Power, influence, confidence; it's what people love. They love seeing confidence in other people, especially when it's not accompanied by arrogance, ego, or manipulation. Just the confident professional, the person who's very self-assured, knows what they're doing, works hard, takes care of other people, is polite, well-spoken, looks people in the eye, has good posture, articulate. It's important....
