i mean it's just life is just such an equalizer when you see guys like that who
have lost who
have had you know physical sacrifices impairments from their body do you feel
bad still being fully
able capable like is there any i don't feel bad i feel thankful i feel blessed
yeah and and when i see the attitudes i had i had another guy is it hard to see
that as i can
imagine man even saying that when you see that attitude of somebody who has a
positive attitude
yeah when when you see jake schick when you see i i've had multiple guys on my
podcast that have
been severely wounded a guy named rob jones a guy named rob jones lost both of
his legs above the
thigh i'm sorry above the knee he ran 31 marathons in 31 days wow 31 marathons
in 31 days yeah so like
when so it doesn't make me feel bad it makes me feel inspired it makes me want
to make sure
that i'm not being a bitch yeah because those guys those guys are out there and
they're charging on
and they're not looking down they're not they're not asking for sympathy they're
out there getting
after it and so and we should be too exactly right we should be and we should
feel and we shouldn't
feel ashamed that we're not but we should feel like you say we should feel
inspired and we should
you know wake up with some sense of gratitude that here we are fully able-bodied
and if we just set
in motion sometimes a foot a step something somebody who doesn't even have a
foot anymore doesn't even
have a step and if we just do that that our brain and uh just because a lot of
our listeners struggle
with the emo you know emotional type of stuff you know but if we just do that
that our brains
and our spirits will follow yeah and sometimes i take a little bit of flack for
saying this but
but you got to like get control of your emotions yeah you got to like say okay
you know what
this girl left me or this job i lost or i had this happen to me when i was a
kid you got to say you
know what okay i'm not going to let that situation control me and i'm going to
i'm going to take
control of my emotions and i'm going to move forward you gotta you gotta assert
yourself you know your
mind is stronger than those little emotions that are running around inside your
head you can overpower
them yeah you can do it and if you don't do it they're they're going to run
wild and they don't
deserve to yeah they don't deserve they don't know what they're doing they're
just up there making
noise and going crazy and running around and and calling things out it's like
no you stop get control
of those emotions you you got to do it sometimes and again a lot of people say
hey that's that's not
it's not easy for everyone i get that it's not easy but man the alternative is
like just let your
emotions run run everything and run you into the dirt don't don't let that
happen man right
grab hold of them yeah grab hold of them get control and like you said start
taking a step in
the right direction that's where it starts man i love that man i love that and
i need it's just so
funny man i you know i'm so happy to be hearing this right now in my life you
know like uh you know
because yeah i'm just you know ever since i got into like getting into the aa
program just a program
just something that helped me to start to change my perspective yeah you know
um
well it's a form of discipline right it's a form of discipline you don't that's
that's i wrote another
book called discipline equals freedom when you put some kind of discipline in
your life it's gonna
it's gonna give you freedom ultimately right like before when you were addicted
to whatever you were
addicted to you you were a slave to those things that's what you were and so
when you put the
discipline around those things it gives you freedom and and it's clear with
that's a really clear
example but it's clear with anything like when you if you're gonna spend all
your money if you're gonna
waste all your money you're gonna end up a slave to to finances all the time
you're always gonna be
worried about hey can i can i make can i make rent this month it's like no put
discipline around your
spending put discipline around your work habits put discipline around how you
invest your money and
save your money and that's going to give you more freedom in the long run yes
so the more discipline
you put in your life the better off you're going to end up the more freedom you're
going to have
