When I was a lot younger, I heard this saying. I don't know where I heard it, but it stuck with me hard. And it was the fact that you have to treat yourself like an athlete in anything that you do.
Growing up, I played American football and football obviously with my feet and you know, I was weight training a lot. Damn, fly just tried to kill me. But I was weight training a lot and I took it seriously and I got a lot of good results from the training that I was doing. And then I started to apply that saying to my life everywhere. Treat yourself like an athlete in like in every single aspect of life. So I took my sleep serious. I took my diet serious. I took school serious obviously. But is that the truth? H I took I took school serious but like it was just you know what I mean? Anyway, I took everything serious that I could. I treated myself like an athlete in every single aspect of life because I wanted the best for myself. I wanted the best results because all I saw growing up when I would watch athletes on TV is that they take care of themselves. They everything that they do was so precise and to the point and they always had everything, you know, controlled in a way. Controlled so that they could get the best out of themselves.
A lot of people aren't doing that in in today's world. A lot of men especially. I want to talk to the men in this video, man. Because there's a lot of us that are halfassing things. And when you halfass things, you get halfass results. There's a reason why things aren't working out the way you want them to because you keep halfassing everything. And the more you keep halfassing everything, the more you can expect halfass results. But when you give everything and you give an effort in the things that you do, whether it is your physical fitness, mental fitness, or spiritual fitness for that matter, if you're doing that all the time, you're giving a good effort, expect to get a good result. It's not something that you're just doing for fun. You know, there's people that, you know, they they they lack in in style, even the way you dress. Like, a lot of you don't even care about that. You should treat yourself like an athlete in that area. Even like the clothes that you put on to your body, bro. Like, you don't care about how you look. Have our standards sunken that low that we don't even care about what we look like when we go out the house? Like there's a lot of people that say these things to me um when it comes to the gym, for example, they'll be training and stuff and like, "Yeah, I'm on three hours sleep this week." I'm like, "Dog, there's a reason why the results that you're getting are what they are because you're not taking this serious. You should be sleeping enough so that you can train and perform to the best of your abilities when you're in the gym." Like, there's a reason why the results that we're getting in today's world as guys aren't good. It's because of the fact that we keep halfassing everything and we're not treating ourselves like athletes when it comes to things. When you see athletes, they're disciplined. They have a regimen. They have a routine. They do things to a certain order so that they get the best results. Dog, some of y'all don't even wash your face when you get up in the morning. You don't wash your face before you go to bed. And then you wonder why your skin looks like what it looks like. Like even that, I treat myself like an athlete there. Just simply the simple things, just washing my face. I get up in the morning after I brush my teeth and all that and I I get my shaving and whatnot, you know, I put on some some face products and do the same thing as well before I go to bed because I like to look my best. I like to feel my best. And when I look and feel my best, I therefore am the best. You know what I mean? It's so simple. It It's just again cause and effect. The things that you do cause an effect. They they they lead to an effect. I don't want to say they cause an effect, but it they do cause an effect, but they lead to an effect and a result that we see each and every single day. We've got to learn to start treating ourselves like athletes, man. That's the most important thing that you can do for yourself going forward. That you take the things in life serious. Damn, this wind is not playing today, man. Even the birds are struggling with it, man. Birds are Look at them anyway. But no, man. Treat yourself like an athlete. Treat yourself like someone who gives a about themselves. Treat yourself like a person with high self-esteem. You should have high self-esteem. That's what we about on this channel. We're not here to to be a bunch of complainers. We're not here to be a bunch of lolly gaggers. We're here to be a bunch of focused men. Focused men with a vision that are moving forward and and doing things how we want to do it. you know, because you treat yourself like an athlete.
Think of your favorite athlete even like think about his daily routines and daily rituals. I know they share like a lot of what they do behind the scenes on social media nowadays. You can see what they do. For example, I always talk about how Cristiano Ronaldo, watching him from when I was young and seeing what he was doing behind the scenes besides when he was playing when he was playing ball, like the things that he were doing, he was doing, how it impacted his game, how he gets up in the morning to train, how he's the first one in the gym and the last one out. all these small little details, how he takes care of himself at home, too, like what he's eating and and you know, his ice bath water, all that type of that he's doing, bro. He's doing these things because he knows that it leads to a result on the pitch. And that's why he's been the best at what he's been doing for years, and his name still resonates till this day because of how he treats himself. We've got to do the same thing in all aspects of our life. just like he's doing, just like Cristiano is doing, man. Treating himself like an athlete in all aspects of his life. He wants the best for himself, so he's therefore going to do the best for himself. He's not going to halfass anything. You feel me? So, you've got to I think it all starts as well with, you know, again, internal work, believing that you are the believing that you are of high value. I don't even want to talk about like high value man stuff and that that stuff is garbage. It's just, you know, just your your outlook on yourself and the insight that you have on yourself as well. You know, just your self-awareness, man. If you're just out here just thinking you're just some other random guy, okay, cool. You can be that, too. It's not a problem. You can do that, too. That's up to you. And again, this video might not be for you if you want to be that kind of guy. But if you want to be a person that has presence and charisma and aura and you have power whenever you walk into a place and you're just moving around the earth, then you have to treat yourself like an athlete no matter what.
Thought I just dropped this quick video before I go back home, man. Um, is it raining? Ah, might get caught up in a rain. Oh well. for one-on-one consultations. I'll links in the bio and I'll see you on the next video. Peace. [Music]
