So what I want you to do right now is remember these times where you're alone and very much feeling alone.

When people who were promising they were going to be there the whole time and that they loved you

and that they were down for you and that they were riders and just down for the cause and cheerleaders and supporters

and I got you bros and I got you babe in X, Y and Z and they're not here.

This is a transition time where you get to move that energy that you will normally be given these people

and you move it back into yourself versus spreading it out, spreading it yourself thin.

You can't spread yourself thin if you move the energy within, doesn't work like that.

You're only building when you put it back into yourself.

I posted a quote today about how ordinary men hate solitude

but an extraordinary man loves solitude because he's alone with the universe.

And if you're alone with the universe you have everything.

These are the moments you need to understand that you build yourself.

Not only is there no one coming to save you but there is no one to save you.

If someone gives you an opportunity quote unquote you still have to be ready for that.

You have to be ready to facilitate it or be ready to go up really fast and for it to come down really fast.

So in essence that preparation is always on you and usually the opportunities come when you feel

when you either feel or you are ready for them.

There's a little instance of things coming earlier than they should

and you have your back against a wall and you have to prepare quickly.

But again in essence if you're able to prepare quick for something in essence you were ready.

There's a difference between doing a bodybuilding show where you're in that four week out,

two week out realm where you can step on stage or in shape versus when you're like 20 weeks out
