Are You In Or Are You Out?

Published: Wed, 07/17/13

 OK, truth be told...
 
I love just about everybody. I love how they dream. 
I love how they strive. I even love how they fail.
 
But every once in a while I get tired of watching them say 
they want to do something. "This time I'm really ready."
 
And then they throw motivational and inspirational quotes 
at their dreams for two or three days.
 
But they forget the part where it's time to actually get started.
 
 
They forget to sweat.
 
But...they're happy to cheer on the people who are actually doing it.
 
And if you think I'm talking about you, then yes, I probably am.
 
Because we've all done that. I've done it plenty of times.
 
Maybe it's because I made a commitment to taking my body 
to the next stage. I'm doing the deal...with all the thrilling pain 
and sweat that goes along with it.
 
And maybe it's just where we are now...
gearing up for a giant opening and launch with Rippln...
 
It's critical mass time.
 
And for whatever reason I find myself with less patience for the 
"this time I'm really gonna do it" crowd than I usually have.
 
Yes, I know this is gonna turn people off. Probably some 
unsubscribes coming my way.
 
Well, the unsubscribers probably weren't gonna do anything anyway.
 
And I don't want that energy in my daily life right now anyway.
 
I'm in BEASTMODE as Tar'Lese Rideaux calls it.
 
Enough with the I'm OK, You're OK quotes.
 
Enough with the touchy-feely.
 
Touch THIS.
 
(No, not that.)
 
Reach in and touch your own DESIRE.
 
Find it through the fear.
 
And the disappointment.
 
And the desire for short cuts.
 
NEWSFLASH: THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS.
 
You do the work.
 
You sweat.
 
You sit still and study what the successful people do.
 
You fail. Then you pick yourself up and try again.
 
You get mocked out by your friends for daring to do something different.
 
You become the person who succeeds.
 
You wanna be a fan...that's great! Nothing wrong with being a fan.
 
Turn on the TV. Cheer your team on.
 
But don't pretend you get the rewards that the PLAYAS get.
 
You don't get the satisfaction.
 
You don't get pride.
 
You certainly don't get the money.
 
You get to watch.
 
And next time you post up nice but vague statuses 
about love and attraction, they ring a little less true.
 
Because you had an invitation to BE it.
 
And you watched it go by.
 
Don't worry. The invitations to come back and 
do it instead of talk about it are endless.
 
Another one always comes.
 
Question is...are you willing to make the commitment?
 
Or will you be satisfied putting up nice, flowery Tweets and statuses?
 
Turns out my mother was right: There are talkers and there are doers.
 
I'll respect you no matter what. I respect all people.
 
It's about how you'll see yourself.
 
How you live with yourself.
 
What kind of health, money, pride you take with you going forward.
 
What kind of self-respect.

Are you in or are you out?
 
Because I respect you too much to pretend you'll 
succeed by putting more motivation on your wall.
 
And I respect myself too much to play with people 
who aren't ready to do anything else.
 
Hochman, Out.
