Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. It's your host, Niyo.

This is the killer's code, man. This is where I've been breaking down.

Really the foundation for the mindset to how to really succeed in this jungle.

And by the jungle, I mean this lifestyle that you've decided to live where you're creating the life of your

dreams. You're going after your goals. Or you athletes, you've decided to be the best. You've

committed your life. You've dedicated your whole being to your sport and dominating. There's a way

that you need to approach this lifestyle. And these jungle laws,

if you will, is what I've been breaking down in the form of this killer's code. All right?

So today we're going to be talking about pain. Pain is very important. It's a very important

concept to understand. Really, pain is the most powerful, motivated there is. You know,

you talk to any psychologist, you read any book on motivation, you read any book on human psychology, they'll tell

you the fundamentals, all right? Humans do more to avoid pain than gain pleasure. Everything that

we do is to either avoid some sort of pain or gain some sort of pleasure. Everything that we do is to either avoid some sort of pain or gain some sort of pleasure.

Everything that we do really has its genesis in avoiding what we consider to be painful.

Even when you consider eating, sleeping, we do these things so that we don't die.

Pain is an everyday reality of life. You and I feel pain every single day, in some form or another.

From the pain of having to get out of that comfy bed in the morning, you know, when you wake up in the morning and it's cold outside it's dark and that pain when you

gotta take the covers up off you and it's cold when you got to turn on the lights and your eyes is sore

you want to be back in bed, man, but it's painful.

To the pain of criticism, to the pain of conflict with those that you love,

the pain of failure, the pain of frustration.

It's all sorts of pain that we deal with every single day.
