trying script 1

The speaker talks about the concept of trying versus doing. They express their belief that trying to accomplish something puts limitations on success, while doing allows for full commitment and achievement. They share personal examples of how shifting from trying to doing made a significant difference in their life, particularly in boxing. The speaker encourages listeners to stop trying and start doing in order to be successful in various aspects of life. If you're trying to do something right now, you're a sucker, and yes, I said it. If you're that person right now that's trying to quit that addiction, trying to lose that weight, trying to be a better person, you're a sucker. How can I say this? Because there's few people on this planet that's been a bigger sucker than me, and in this video, I'm going to tell you how you can instantly go from being a sucker to unstoppable. The biggest crock of shit that's ever been told to me was you got to at least try. For you to know what you can be, or how far you can go in this life, you have to at least try. Because if you don't try, you'll never know. So you know, I grew up trying shit. I tried to be a poet. I tried to be the shortest player in the NBA. I tried to be a music artist. Hell, I tried to finish college. I tried to retire my mama, and I tried to build my grandmother a house. You know how much of that I actually accomplished? Zero. But according to what was told to me, at least I tried, and for the fact that I at least made an effort, I should be commended. The weird thing about that, which is something I didn't recognize until much later in life, the people who told me this the most never accomplished shit either. Because if they did, they wouldn't be sitting around giving a kid with so much potential the recipe to not accomplish shit too. Instilling in me this trying mentality, a mentality that would take me into adulthood, still trying shit, trying to start a successful business, trying to be in the best shape of my life, trying to make relationships work, trying, not succeeding, brushing myself off, and trying again, as the song says. And thank God for frustration, which inspired me to seek education, to learn that the biggest detriment to me accomplishing anything in my life was goddamn me trying. Trying to do shit. Because when you try to do something, you automatically put stipulations on whatever it is you're trying. You're basically saying, I'm putting forth a certain amount of effort to accomplish this thing, as long as a certain amount of resistance isn't given, or certain expectations aren't met. And at a subconscious level, you've already conceded, already folded. And if we zoom out and take a serious look at everything we have accomplished in our lives, 99% doesn't come from trying, it came from doing. You don't try to get a job, you went and got a job. You don't try to buy a car, you bought a car. You didn't try to marry your current husband or wife, you married them. And you didn't try to make them babies, you made them babies. All the things you have, and all the things you accomplished came from what you did, not tried. And the difference in saying, I'm doing that, versus I'm trying that, is so drastic, it completely changes the way you mentally process situations. To give an example, when I first started boxing over 10 years ago, I'd never been so bad in anything in my life. And I can admit that initially, I was trying to box, I was trying to be a fighter. But after that first sparring session, when my head was ringing, my nose busted, and my ego completely destroyed, because the whole gym just watched a 14-year-old kid beat my ass like I stole his PlayStation. That was my first opportunity to say, I tried it, and it wasn't for me. And if that wasn't the time, within the next, let's say, about a year, one or two times a week, I'll spar and get my ass handed to me. Sometimes embarrassed, sometimes not so embarrassed, but embarrassed nonetheless. And maybe because I was just so horrible at it, but I just couldn't accept walking away from doing something that so many other people were so much better than me at. To the point I said, fuck trying to be a boxer, I'm going to be a better boxer. And from that sudden switch in mindset, everything changed. How I ate, how I trained, how I slept, how I spent my free time, everything changed literally in a moment. I went from trying to be a better boxer to being a better boxer instantly. And you know what? Almost 15 years later, I'm still becoming a better boxer. I'm still becoming a better fighter. And I can get my ass handed to me every day of the week, but I'll never be embarrassed. And that's because of the power of doing. Stop fucking trying, start doing. Like don't call me and tell me you're trying to help me. Without saying anything else, that lets me know you want to help me within the parameters of a predetermined expectation, meaning you want to help me as long as the help doesn't exceed the level of help you anticipated giving. And I don't like that type of help, because what you expect to help me with, I might not need help with that. I might need help with something else. And the one that's trying to help me will be the one to say, I was trying to help, but that wasn't what I was expecting, versus the one saying, I'm going to help you. And without us saying anything, I have no expectations, you have no expectations, and no matter the obstacle, no matter the frustration, no matter the task, 100%, you help me. Don't try, fucking do. Don't try to eat healthier, eat healthier. Don't try to make more money, make more money. Don't try to be unstoppable, be unstoppable. And don't try to hit the like and subscribe button.
