QUOTES:
“there is an impermanence to pain, and it's critical to focus on that.” [6:37]
“Part of the reason that failure is the most information rich data stream you will ever encounter is because when you fail, you feel pain and pain triggers areas of the brain around memory, and focus.” [7:46]
I want that sting. I want to know, I tried something and it didn't work, because I want to trigger focus, and memory.” [8:33]
“I feel completely liberated by the fact that I can become someone better tomorrow by putting in the work today.” [11:59]
“The very thing that I value myself for is my willingness to face my inadequacies and get better.” [13:49]
“There's something about channeling aggression, of having that gear of not only feeling nice, pleasant and courteous, but being like, fuck this hill, I'm going after this hill.” [31:41]
“Life is about having reservoirs of strength.” [27:02]
“when the dread creeps into my mind that I'm about to do something hard, I remind myself that I'm a hardcore motherfucker, and I will endure whatever I must, in order to achieve my goals.” [35:15]
