0:07
You were put on this planet for success. You were created to succeed
0:11

0:18
This designed to help you fight the force of average and excel in every area of your life. We're glad that you're here

Man, I was like brick flair. I was a private jet fly in lamborghini driving rolls roach dripping rolex wearing diamond ap's
0:36
Protect with all that shit
0:38
And you know what I learned from all that shit. I made a little money. I made some connections
0:44
I got a little attention, but none of it's what I wanted you see one day life changed for me
0:50
I pull up in a McLaren wearing a diamond watch
0:53
Looking fresh to death fresh haircut diamond ring
0:57
I think I'm a baller and I'm pulling up because I'm trying to impress these people
1:02
And I think having a fancy car in a diamond watch. That's the ultimate impression
1:06
I'm gonna make a first impression on these people
1:09
I walked into the rooms a room full of navy seals and green berets and they might as well have laughed at me
1:14
I'm having a private conversation in the back of the room and one of the guys goes man. Fuck your job
1:19
Dude, you could have bought 40 acres and a couple of horses man
1:22
I'm been living off the grid. What the hell are you doing driving that car with that watch?
1:25
Bro, I'm telling you you're spending your money on the wrong shit and I went
1:29
Why use this to impression he goes there? Whatever you got to do whatever floats your boat
1:33
About two months later. I went bot land slowly, but surely I've sold off cars and bought trucks
1:39
I remember one time I threw an event the guy walks into the event and he says I'm not here because of your lamborghini
1:44
I have tractors that cost more than them
1:47
I'm here because I like you and you know what over the years the people that have shown up for the cars
1:52
Some of them been good some of them have been very materialistic
1:56
But see I used to be material motivated. I want the finest watch the latest trends
2:02
Latest phone the baddest computer the coolest car the pen house the mansion
2:07
But then I realized that
2:09
After a while it was just a car
2:11
After a while it's just a house after a while
2:14
Fucking watches don't tell time and I had to do some real soul searching because I used to be the kind of guy that material
2:19
Things were the only motivation for me a more money more material things
2:23
That's what that's who I am. That's my identity and man. What a fucking terrible thing to base an identity on
2:29
When I started identifying as a husband father patriot Texan
2:34
Animal lover. I start realizing who I really am. I love god. I love my family. I don't love diamond watches and
2:42
I like trucks. I always have I've lived in Texas my whole life
2:45
But I tried to be somebody else thinking that that's what success look like and that I needed to
2:50
Betrayed this super said look at I've got 20 fucking Lamborghinis. I've got a hundred Rolexes and it fucking matter
2:57
Now if you're in the cars and watches I get it. There's lots of connoisseurs that are into this shit
3:02
Never really was me and now on one hand I got to check off all the things I've ever had on a vision board
3:07
I'm very grateful for that
3:09
On the other hand, I got a good lesson in what really matters and what I hope for everybody who listens to this is when you
3:15
Hit your lick and you come up and you start making a whole bunch of money
3:19
You find yourself for fulfillment before you try to fulfill it with material things
3:23
I'm not saying you can't have a nice car. I've got one. I'm not saying you can have a nice house. I've got one
3:29
But what I am saying is that if those things become your identity
3:33
Success is never ever going to be what it could be for you
