909: How to Work Out of Anything (Inspired by Sun Tzu)

WEBVTT

00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:00.780
All right.

00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:02.069
3, 2, 1. Let's get it today.

00:00:02.069 --> 00:00:03.928
I want to show you how you can work.

00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:05.639
Out of anything.

00:00:06.809 --> 00:00:08.189
Anything, whatever it is.

00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:10.919
That you're facing right now.

00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.410
And remember the three problems we all face.

00:00:13.619 --> 00:00:14.339
This is why it's called.

00:00:14.339 --> 00:00:15.119
What's your problem.

00:00:15.390 --> 00:00:16.289
The podcast.

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:17.609
Three problems.

00:00:17.609 --> 00:00:20.579
We all face adversity, uncertainty and complacency.

00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:26.309
And so when you're facing something, Sometimes it gets overwhelming.

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:27.960
I don't know how to get out of this situation.

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:28.469
I don't know.

00:00:28.469 --> 00:00:29.339
What's the first thing.

00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:30.690
That I need to do.

00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:33.509
So, let me give you some wisdom.

00:00:34.558 --> 00:00:36.329
From the art of war.

00:00:37.259 --> 00:00:37.979
Sun Tzu.

00:00:39.448 --> 00:00:44.189
T Z U is the last name Art Of War is . A timeless classic.

00:00:44.338 --> 00:00:46.439
I think it's been around for thousands of years.

00:00:47.729 --> 00:00:48.959
So page 68.

00:00:49.409 --> 00:00:54.359
Let me read it to you first and then I'll chop it up and tell you how I interpret it.

00:00:54.569 --> 00:00:55.859
if you interpret this differently.

00:00:55.859 --> 00:00:57.319
I'd love to hear your take on it.

00:00:57.348 --> 00:00:58.579
I'm always fascinated.

00:00:59.118 --> 00:01:00.768
You and me can read the same thing.

00:01:01.459 --> 00:01:04.308
And you get something completely different than I did.

00:01:05.149 --> 00:01:05.808
I love that.

00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:06.828
I think that's great.

00:01:07.459 --> 00:01:10.879
And I think it, it also just, it adds more color.

00:01:11.358 --> 00:01:13.698
To the conversation, to the thought process.

00:01:13.698 --> 00:01:15.498
I'm like, bro, I didn't even think about that.

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.028
There's been times, man.

00:01:17.028 --> 00:01:17.328
I've.

00:01:18.349 --> 00:01:22.638
Released a podcast episode, and somebody gave me their take on it.

00:01:23.299 --> 00:01:25.698
And that was totally different.

00:01:26.358 --> 00:01:28.459
Then the reason why actually shared it.

00:01:29.028 --> 00:01:31.849
But see, you know, we all live on the same street.

00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:32.448
We're just.

00:01:33.289 --> 00:01:37.009
Our yards are all a little bit different, so we're all colored a little bit different.

00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:38.808
And we think a little bit different.

00:01:39.198 --> 00:01:40.698
I don't think that's a bad thing at all.

00:01:40.998 --> 00:01:41.868
So, let me read it to you.

00:01:41.868 --> 00:01:43.099
This page 68.

00:01:44.688 --> 00:01:47.149
And it doesn't say how to work out of anything.

00:01:48.289 --> 00:01:51.108
And this is what I, what I took from this.

00:01:51.769 --> 00:01:52.819
So here's what is, is.

00:01:54.078 --> 00:01:56.778
Simulated disorder, postulates.

00:01:56.929 --> 00:01:58.069
Perfect discipline.

00:01:58.849 --> 00:02:00.259
Simulated fear.

00:02:00.739 --> 00:02:02.058
Postulates courage.

00:02:02.778 --> 00:02:04.248
Simulated weakness.

00:02:05.118 --> 00:02:06.799
Postulates strength.

00:02:07.789 --> 00:02:12.588
Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder is simply a question of subdivision.

00:02:13.218 --> 00:02:16.069
Concealing courage under a show of timidity.

00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:19.129
Presupposes a fund of latent energy.

00:02:20.149 --> 00:02:22.490
Masking strength with weakness.

00:02:23.509 --> 00:02:24.829
Is to be affected.

00:02:26.149 --> 00:02:27.288
By tactical.

00:02:28.009 --> 00:02:29.088
Dispositions.

00:02:31.189 --> 00:02:43.639
That's one of these that you read it, but until you actually write it down, like pay attention to the little internal triggers when you're reading some of these little, I don't know, they're just like your spirit, man.

00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:51.588
It just kind of jabs you a little bit and causes you to go back and wait, wait, what did I just read and pay attention to that?

00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:57.588
And I would challenge you that when you get these little nudges, I don't get them all the time, but when I get these little nudges.

00:02:58.490 --> 00:02:59.199
I stop.

00:03:00.079 --> 00:03:01.399
I'm not onto the next thing.

00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:04.819
And I'm like, what is, what does that mean to me?

00:03:04.819 --> 00:03:06.110
How do I interpret that?

00:03:06.740 --> 00:03:08.629
So, let me share with you.

00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:10.310
And I did this long form.

00:03:10.310 --> 00:03:12.949
I wrote it out and I'm like, what does each one mean?

00:03:12.949 --> 00:03:16.038
And, and I liked to take sections and then.

00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:18.588
Uh, take the section and then I write it out.

00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:19.490
What does it mean to me?

00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:23.718
So let's go back simulated disorder.

00:03:24.588 --> 00:03:25.669
Postulates.

00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:27.169
Perfect discipline.

00:03:27.528 --> 00:03:33.769
Postulate means to suggest, to assume the existence of so simulated disorder, postulates.

00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:34.729
Perfect discipline.

00:03:35.158 --> 00:03:37.348
Simulated fear, postulates courage.

00:03:37.378 --> 00:03:39.449
Uh, simulated weakness.

00:03:40.019 --> 00:03:41.218
Postulate strength.

00:03:42.118 --> 00:03:43.558
So, how do you get out of anything?

00:03:44.068 --> 00:03:44.669
Here we go.

00:03:45.899 --> 00:03:48.748
Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder.

00:03:49.649 --> 00:03:51.209
It's simply a question.

00:03:52.079 --> 00:03:53.098
Of subdivision.

00:03:55.019 --> 00:03:55.438
All right.

00:03:56.158 --> 00:03:59.878
So think about a neighborhood, actually think about a plot of land.

00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.149
That is purchased to become a neighborhood.

00:04:04.229 --> 00:04:05.399
They subdivided.

00:04:05.908 --> 00:04:07.558
Which becomes a subdivision.

00:04:07.588 --> 00:04:09.209
What subdivision do you live in?

00:04:09.929 --> 00:04:11.368
It becomes a subdivision.

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:13.498
They don't just sell the whole lot of land.

00:04:13.498 --> 00:04:16.019
They subdivided into lots.

00:04:16.588 --> 00:04:17.548
And then they sell.

00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:19.949
Each one of those lots for a premium.

00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:23.488
So think about in your own life.

00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.269
Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder.

00:04:28.259 --> 00:04:30.959
It's simply a question of subdivision.

00:04:31.379 --> 00:04:34.858
So when you look at something, it looks overwhelming.

00:04:35.459 --> 00:04:37.559
It looks chaotic to you.

00:04:38.809 --> 00:04:39.579
subdivide it.

00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:41.009
Break things down.

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:42.598
As a whole.

00:04:42.988 --> 00:04:43.678
I get it.

00:04:44.069 --> 00:04:45.269
You're like, oh my God.

00:04:45.658 --> 00:04:46.978
I don't even know where to start.

00:04:47.968 --> 00:04:48.778
Break it down.

00:04:49.588 --> 00:04:51.928
To the smallest thing, you can break it down to.

00:04:53.309 --> 00:04:54.478
Don't focus on all.

00:04:54.809 --> 00:04:55.709
I understand.

00:04:55.949 --> 00:04:57.928
There's a lot of different things you want to get to.

00:04:58.139 --> 00:04:59.728
There's a lot of things you want to do.

00:05:00.488 --> 00:05:02.259
Find your lead what's the thing.

00:05:03.278 --> 00:05:05.048
That that starts the whole thing.

00:05:05.499 --> 00:05:08.559
Don't worry about all what's what's that one thing.

00:05:09.309 --> 00:05:11.139
Just focus on the next thing.

00:05:11.168 --> 00:05:11.678
That's it.

00:05:12.098 --> 00:05:13.689
So focus on that.

00:05:14.829 --> 00:05:15.788
And when you do.

00:05:16.988 --> 00:05:18.579
And you consistently hit it.

00:05:19.629 --> 00:05:23.468
Then what's going to do is, is this is going to bring that consistency.

00:05:24.728 --> 00:05:29.348
You're going to start getting results because you're just focused on the one thing I get.

00:05:29.678 --> 00:05:31.538
I feel the wolves on everything else.

00:05:31.538 --> 00:05:32.949
I'm not worried about that right now.

00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:34.959
This is the thing I'm focusing on.

00:05:35.088 --> 00:05:41.059
A lot of people are going to be focused on fitness, but there's so many other things, you know, I got to work a lot.

00:05:41.059 --> 00:05:41.988
I want to get promoted.

00:05:41.988 --> 00:05:43.369
I want to make a whole bunch of money.

00:05:43.369 --> 00:05:45.108
There's creative things I want to do.

00:05:45.499 --> 00:05:46.369
There's traveling.

00:05:46.369 --> 00:05:47.838
I want to do blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:05:48.108 --> 00:05:48.379
Okay.

00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:50.449
There's all these kinds of different things.

00:05:50.509 --> 00:05:51.048
Okay.

00:05:51.678 --> 00:05:53.389
But what's the number one thing.

00:05:53.778 --> 00:05:55.158
Man, I want to feel better.

00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:56.778
I need more energy.

00:05:58.189 --> 00:05:59.538
I got to hit that fitness.

00:06:00.048 --> 00:06:01.338
If you hit the fitness.

00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:03.559
And you start getting that part right.

00:06:04.158 --> 00:06:08.718
Then you can borrow those experiences and results.

00:06:09.348 --> 00:06:12.678
Once you hit that and you transfer that over.

00:06:13.309 --> 00:06:14.298
To the next block.

00:06:15.048 --> 00:06:16.309
To the next subdivision.

00:06:16.608 --> 00:06:18.439
You just subdivide these things.

00:06:18.738 --> 00:06:21.559
I'm telling you, man, it's happened in my own life.

00:06:21.738 --> 00:06:24.829
There were so many things I was losing every battle in life.

00:06:24.829 --> 00:06:27.709
It seemed the only thing I had was my life.

00:06:28.369 --> 00:06:30.829
Everything else, man just was not going right.

00:06:32.269 --> 00:06:33.108
Take care of you.

00:06:33.738 --> 00:06:34.759
Hit the fitness.

00:06:35.119 --> 00:06:36.348
If you feel better.

00:06:37.608 --> 00:06:39.079
Then you're going to do better.

00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:39.949
Period.

00:06:40.158 --> 00:06:41.028
So subdivided.

00:06:43.038 --> 00:06:45.738
The next section, concealing courage.

00:06:46.098 --> 00:06:48.139
Under a show of timidity.

00:06:48.798 --> 00:06:51.978
Pre-supposes which is like a precondition.

00:06:52.428 --> 00:06:55.038
So concealing courage under a show of timidity.

00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:56.598
Presupposes.

00:06:57.978 --> 00:07:00.108
A fund of latent energy.

00:07:01.459 --> 00:07:03.108
Latent means like dormant.

00:07:03.168 --> 00:07:04.218
Ain't doing nothing.

00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:05.809
You have a fund.

00:07:06.048 --> 00:07:08.449
I love that term, a fund of energy.

00:07:09.168 --> 00:07:10.129
It's right there.

00:07:10.189 --> 00:07:10.369
You.

00:07:10.848 --> 00:07:12.408
You have everything that you need.

00:07:13.249 --> 00:07:16.278
Yet you've developed this lethargy.

00:07:16.278 --> 00:07:17.689
Lethargy is a rhythm.

00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:18.709
It's just negative.

00:07:18.709 --> 00:07:20.028
Momentum is all it is.

00:07:20.538 --> 00:07:21.709
And so, because.

00:07:22.428 --> 00:07:23.959
It's overwhelming for you.

00:07:24.829 --> 00:07:26.209
You don't know where to start.

00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:28.608
You don't get started at all.

00:07:29.569 --> 00:07:30.949
You turn to vices.

00:07:31.668 --> 00:07:34.009
Things of comfort and it just feeds it.

00:07:34.249 --> 00:07:36.108
And it just makes you feel even worse.

00:07:36.559 --> 00:07:38.838
And like every day, man, you start in a deficit.

00:07:39.678 --> 00:07:41.988
So if you subdivide things.

00:07:42.949 --> 00:07:45.199
You break it down, find your lead domino.

00:07:45.559 --> 00:07:47.119
You got enough to get started.

00:07:47.869 --> 00:07:49.278
You're not going to hit the lottery.

00:07:49.728 --> 00:07:51.499
You don't need anybody else's help.

00:07:52.009 --> 00:07:53.418
You don't need more time.

00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.249
You just need focus.

00:07:55.699 --> 00:07:58.668
So subdivided first section break it down.

00:07:59.209 --> 00:08:00.408
The next thing is.

00:08:01.129 --> 00:08:01.879
Take action.

00:08:02.358 --> 00:08:03.709
Action begets more.

00:08:03.709 --> 00:08:04.278
Action.

00:08:04.939 --> 00:08:09.228
When you take action consistently, I don't care how small it is.

00:08:09.528 --> 00:08:15.709
Take 10 minutes, 15 minutes, whatever it is, just get started and consistently bang that.

00:08:15.709 --> 00:08:17.689
Remember consistency over intensity.

00:08:19.098 --> 00:08:22.788
So when you do that, man, And you take that action.

00:08:24.468 --> 00:08:27.259
Then, what that's going to do is it's going to feed more action.

00:08:27.829 --> 00:08:30.949
And also it's going to open up possibilities.

00:08:31.278 --> 00:08:32.658
And give you more options.

00:08:32.938 --> 00:08:34.619
You have just enough to get started.

00:08:35.038 --> 00:08:35.788
You got plenty.

00:08:35.938 --> 00:08:36.808
Give resourceful.

00:08:36.839 --> 00:08:40.649
When you lack resources, stop bitching that you don't have everything.

00:08:40.649 --> 00:08:41.969
You're never going to have everything.

00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:45.028
It's the man who just capitalizes on what he has.

00:08:45.269 --> 00:08:45.749
Hell.

00:08:46.048 --> 00:08:49.859
Uh, prisoners make shanks out of soap.

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.089
They don't have, I, you know, Hey guard, can you bring me some sheet metal?

00:08:54.119 --> 00:08:54.719
No.

00:08:55.168 --> 00:08:56.609
They just use soap.

00:08:57.239 --> 00:09:02.668
And somehow they form that shit in shanking somebody, I don't know how all that works.

00:09:03.119 --> 00:09:05.938
But, I mean, find your own productive shank man.

00:09:06.568 --> 00:09:07.828
What's your bar of soap.

00:09:07.889 --> 00:09:08.879
This is all I got.

00:09:08.999 --> 00:09:09.839
Make it work.

00:09:10.889 --> 00:09:12.149
If you life was on the line.

00:09:12.899 --> 00:09:14.158
You would figure it out.

00:09:14.788 --> 00:09:15.958
Your life is on the line.

00:09:16.798 --> 00:09:19.288
A fuller more complete life.

00:09:19.318 --> 00:09:21.058
Well satisfied life.

00:09:22.139 --> 00:09:23.639
Starts with being resourceful.

00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:32.369
When you lack the resources, you got plenty in there, get your tired, uh, get you kind of worn out because you just been banging in this thing.

00:09:32.788 --> 00:09:34.438
This, this little box.

00:09:34.889 --> 00:09:36.239
And, you know, you're, you're.

00:09:36.869 --> 00:09:39.719
You got more, you just haven't unleashed it.

00:09:40.198 --> 00:09:41.548
So when you subdivided.

00:09:42.778 --> 00:09:45.599
And you just realize, you know what?

00:09:45.658 --> 00:09:47.339
I got more go.

00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:48.958
yes, you'll be tired at first.

00:09:49.259 --> 00:09:50.009
Keep going.

00:09:50.068 --> 00:09:54.479
It's going to generate more energy because you got to overcome this negative inertia.

00:09:54.479 --> 00:09:54.899
You got.

00:09:55.818 --> 00:09:58.948
enough about that.

00:09:57.899 --> 00:09:58.948
And then the last part.

00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:02.219
Masking strength with weakness.

00:10:03.179 --> 00:10:04.769
Is to be effected.

00:10:05.458 --> 00:10:10.078
Emphasis on E masking strength with weaknesses to be effected.

00:10:11.068 --> 00:10:12.299
Which is caused.

00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.109
By tactical disposition.

00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.609
Tactical means plan disposition.

00:10:21.208 --> 00:10:22.288
Is a sequencing.

00:10:22.798 --> 00:10:23.938
It's an arrangement.

00:10:25.349 --> 00:10:25.769
All right.

00:10:25.798 --> 00:10:26.879
So let's do that again.

00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.499
Masking strength with weakness.

00:10:28.739 --> 00:10:30.059
I get you feel weak.

00:10:30.629 --> 00:10:30.989
Okay.

00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:32.099
It's just a mask.

00:10:32.788 --> 00:10:34.048
That's what sun Tzu says.

00:10:34.078 --> 00:10:35.158
It's just a mask.

00:10:36.178 --> 00:10:37.229
You got more in there?

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:38.349
Subdivide it.

00:10:39.469 --> 00:10:41.389
And then you take that action.

00:10:42.168 --> 00:10:44.149
This is where that strength starts to come alive.

00:10:45.198 --> 00:10:46.369
And so that action.

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.869
Effects.

00:10:48.769 --> 00:10:49.639
Causes.

00:10:50.989 --> 00:10:54.558
Masking strengths with weaknesses to be effected caused by.

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.749
How did we get that strength?

00:10:57.078 --> 00:10:58.009
Tactical?

00:10:58.489 --> 00:10:59.389
Which is planning.

00:10:59.869 --> 00:11:00.769
Don't over plan.

00:11:00.798 --> 00:11:01.969
I say, lightly plan.

00:11:02.149 --> 00:11:03.019
You don't need.

00:11:03.859 --> 00:11:09.499
A hundred people's different suggestions, dude, if you get suggestions from people on how they do things, everybody's.

00:11:10.038 --> 00:11:14.448
Everybody's going to be different, find your way, find something that makes the most sense for you.

00:11:14.749 --> 00:11:16.339
Don't get deep in the weeds in it.

00:11:16.668 --> 00:11:18.168
Don't get in the details.

00:11:18.558 --> 00:11:20.448
Think about a roller.

00:11:21.109 --> 00:11:25.428
You know, a paint roller, not a fine, you know, we're not Bob Ross here.

00:11:25.818 --> 00:11:26.208
Okay.

00:11:26.298 --> 00:11:27.558
We got to paint this thing.

00:11:27.739 --> 00:11:29.808
Just take actions, big wall.

00:11:30.078 --> 00:11:31.609
This is a wall of inertia.

00:11:31.609 --> 00:11:37.668
You've you've come across a wall of resistance of adversity, of uncertainty, of complacency.

00:11:38.119 --> 00:11:39.859
Paint that shit with action, man.

00:11:39.918 --> 00:11:40.759
Big rollers.

00:11:41.089 --> 00:11:41.448
Okay.

00:11:41.568 --> 00:11:44.538
So lightly plan, just pick something and go with it.

00:11:45.078 --> 00:11:46.698
It's going to change anyway.

00:11:47.178 --> 00:11:50.089
So the tactical is planning.

00:11:50.139 --> 00:11:52.719
You want to transfer that weakness into strength.

00:11:53.318 --> 00:11:54.609
It's by lightly planning.

00:11:55.269 --> 00:11:57.999
And then disposition, which is a sequencing.

00:11:58.359 --> 00:12:01.208
It's an arrangement of things you're not trying to.

00:12:01.808 --> 00:12:03.009
Herd cats here.

00:12:03.188 --> 00:12:05.379
You're not trying to chase five rabbits.

00:12:06.038 --> 00:12:07.808
Just pick one and go after that shit.

00:12:08.948 --> 00:12:14.379
Alright, so that sequencing lightly planning and a sequencing, your lead domino.

00:12:16.028 --> 00:12:17.589
This is what's going to.

00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:19.808
Transfer.

00:12:20.989 --> 00:12:22.208
or bring that strength.

00:12:22.568 --> 00:12:24.278
Out of what looks like a weakness.

00:12:25.479 --> 00:12:27.129
You look in your mirror, you look weak.

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:29.259
You look fearful.

00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:31.629
It's overwhelming.

00:12:33.308 --> 00:12:35.078
Three ways to get out of anything.

00:12:36.009 --> 00:12:38.379
Subdivide it break it down to its smallest.

00:12:39.599 --> 00:12:40.438
Take action.

00:12:41.068 --> 00:12:43.349
You got more in the tank than you give yourself.

00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:45.509
You got a fund of latent energy there.

00:12:45.778 --> 00:12:46.918
Bring that shit alive.

00:12:48.359 --> 00:12:49.078
And then.

00:12:49.948 --> 00:12:51.028
That weakness.

00:12:51.479 --> 00:12:53.639
That strength is going to come out of that weakness.

00:12:53.729 --> 00:12:56.908
It's going to get pulled out, lightly planning sequencing.

00:12:56.969 --> 00:12:57.538
Let's go.

00:12:58.019 --> 00:12:58.438
All right.

00:12:59.099 --> 00:12:59.578
That's it.

00:12:59.938 --> 00:13:03.599
So, whatever it is that you're facing right now, you can work out of anything.

00:13:04.229 --> 00:13:05.999
Taking Sun Tzu approach.

00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:08.110
Subdivided.

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.240
Take action.

00:13:11.769 --> 00:13:12.429
More action.

00:13:12.429 --> 00:13:13.090
Begets more.

00:13:13.090 --> 00:13:13.570
Action.

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.370
And then lightly plan the sequencing.

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.440
Find your lead domino get after it.

00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:20.070
All right.

00:13:20.490 --> 00:13:21.659
How do you interpret this?

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:22.950
How do you see it?

00:13:22.950 --> 00:13:24.419
You may read this.

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.370
And read it a totally different way.

00:13:26.370 --> 00:13:27.600
I'd love to hear from you on that.

00:13:27.629 --> 00:13:28.230
Keep it simple.

00:13:28.230 --> 00:13:28.769
Keep it moving.

00:13:28.769 --> 00:13:29.250
Never settle.

00:13:29.250 --> 00:13:30.179
State tough peace.
