I recently reread some of Steven

Pressfield's books, like The War of Art and The Warrior Ethos. In each of them,

there's a theme of resistance that is to be expected any time we

prepare for something big.

Kokoro 45 is the juggernaut that I

am finding opposition in right now in my life, and right away I

felt inadequate, meeting stories that I can't do it.

I'm also going to launch another

program called The Movement, meant to go global.

When you strive to become MORE,

resistance rears its ugly head. When you DECLARE that you are going

to contribute more to society, resistance is there.

The bells of hell go crazy when you

choose to expand and grow.

Resistance doesn't just want to

wound or maim you, it wants to DESTROY you. That's its

job.

So can we avoid it?

No.

There is opposition in all things. I

don't know why resistance wages war against things that we want to

do to make ourselves better, but no matter how much resistance we

have, if we continue to push forward, every single day, we will be

able to succeed, growing stronger than ever before.

We are meant to live the greatest

lives possible, but we won't be able to do that without

resistance. 

It will never go away.

Get clear about what you want and

your big purpose, and that commitment will help you see the trials

through.

You've got to be so full of

yourself, so clueless that you start doing 

The worst thing you can do is stop.

Stubbornness is beautiful because it makes you sink your teeth into

resistance. 

It will rattle your faith, make you

want to play small, and will always be the enemy.

Everyday I speak with my clients, in

a huge variety of positions and careers. 

One continual theme that I continue

to see is the inevitable doubt and fear that comes. It's in just as

many different forms as it was in the variety of careers I

coach.

Life isn't made easy with money.

Fear and doubt will continue to creep in about being worthy or that

it was just a lucky break.

Whatever the case may be, doubt and

fear will always be a part of your life; it's the job of resistance

that tests you. 

Opposition doesn't care.

Fear and doubt aren't out there to

be your friend.

These feelings only care about

destruction. There is opposition in all things, my friend. Just as

we have feelings to build us up, so too will we have the opposite

feelings.

So what do we do with these

inevitable feelings? Use them as weapons. Make doubt and fear your

best friends because they will push you to step out of your comfort

zone in order to become a better person.

On the days that you struggle, don't

believe the emotions that come with fear and doubt.

If you're on the path of expansion,

you're going to be walking the path of resistance in which doubt

and fear will be constant companions. Embrace them as friends. It's

normal to have them there, so you might as well let these emotions

be used in a way that serves you.

I had a lot of fear in starting this

podcast.

There were stories that held me

back, but upon this recording I've had 40,000 downloads, meaning

that what I've said matters.

Maybe it's made a difference to

others that can live a higher purpose.

God has a plan for you.

Doubt and fear? It's inevitable to

have them.

Choose to remember who you

are.

Ask yourself:

* Where have I held myself

back because of fear and doubt? 

* Why do I think that I'm

not worthy to be better?

* How can I make doubt and

fear friends instead of enemies? 

If you move forward with purpose and

get committed to it, greatness will occur.

The other night I was at a carnival with my family, which was absolutely amazing.

I was approached by a man while there about how he wants to be a coach and do what I do. After further clarification, I had a golden question for him:

"Have you hired your own coach?"

"No. Why would I do that?" he asked.

And there was the hypocrisy. You want people to pay you, but you're unwilling to pay someone else to be your coach.

Think of it this way, if you are grossly obese, no one is going to want to hire you to be a fitness trainer. Same goes for spirituality; pointing fingers about living one way and yet living that same sin.

We oftentimes are unwilling to do for ourselves what we want to do for others.

I'm a coach because I've hired and invested in my own coaches.

You may look good on the inside, but you're falling apart on the outside. It doesn't work. 

Be real and tell the truth about who you are. A foundation of lying and being dishonest DOESN'T work.

If you say one thing and do another, you are a hypocrite.

If you want people to make sacrifices yet are unwilling to make your own sacrifices, you will not be prosperous.

I will NEVER have my boys do things that I won't do myself. When I tell them that they can do hard things, it's because I do hard things.

One of the greatest things I learned from my mentors, is to LIVE THE LIFE THAT YOUR IDEAL CLIENT DESIRES.

Pay out so that you can get paid. If you get rid of the hypocrisy, you will be happy and fulfilled. I promise you that.

Ask yourself:

* Where am I being a hypocrite and pretender? 

* Am I in alignment with what I tell people and what I do?

* What can I do today to live a life of integrity rather than hypocrisy? 

Karma is a beautiful thing when you understand how it works.

Today was an AMAZING day, spending time with my boys and my wife.

Why was it so positive for me?

Many years ago, I knew that when I was broke but not in despair, I wanted to live a life that gave me financial freedom to spend TIME with my boys and my goddess every single week.

I've seen these days, and now I'm living it.

We have often heard that if you can see it, than you can believe it and achieve it.

We have the days we have because we made it happen. Whether it's a positive or negative experience, it's on us for what we have created.

WAKE UP! 

You can only reap what you have sown. 

You can only get what you have given, in whatever area of life you are looking at, whether it's in business, with your family, or how you're body looks.

YOU ARE ALWAYS SOWING SEEDS.

Every action you take is a seed sown. Today you can plant new seeds, new commitments, desires and goals.

Regardless of your past and even your present, you can plant new seeds. It's about daily actions and commitments. You can't plant apples and get bananas, just as you can't plant hate and get kindness.

This is why I sow the seeds of time with my family, continually read spiritual texts, why I workout, eat good food,  and work hard in my business.

I am reaping what I have sown, and it has given me a blessed life full of purpose.

Ask yourself:

* What type of seeds am I sowing today in my life? 

* What seeds do I need to plant today to create new desires for a life that I want tomorrow?

* What new skill sets or leveling up needs to happen? 

You reap what you sow, and YOU are in charge.

"Guess what I did, Daddy?" my son said to me the other day.

"What's that?"

"I tried out for a solo part in the play!"

I was so proud when I heard that my son took the initiative signing up for an auditioned part in his school's musical. It takes a lot of courage to step out of our comfort zone like this.  

How many times do you not even attempt to try things because you're afraid? The fear takes over?

The moment I had the proof in my hand for my book, Winning After the Game, I wanted to throw it out.

Why?

BECAUSE OF FEAR.

Fear kills more dreams than anything else. So how do we deal with this fear? 

CHOOSE COURAGE.

This doesn't mean that you no longer fear things. Courage states that in spite of the fear, push forward anyway. 

Take the first step and choose courage to combat the fear.

As I'm shooting this podcast in the spring of 2016, I could not be more grateful for where I'm at right now, and it took a lot of courage to get to this place right now.

Can you be honest in choosing courage to confront those, especially those we love, in facing that which we fear, instead of cowering from it.

I have gone to war with my wife about heated discussions, and it's made us stronger. Powerful people confront and don't let fear dictate their lives.

The reason we don't act on what it is that we want is because of the destruction we allow from fear instead of greatness from courage.

Fear hinders us from answering what the Voice is telling us. We will always have fear, it's a constant gift to give us contrast and perspective. If we act with courage and confront that fear, we'll act with power.

Ask yourself:

* Where has fear held me back from doing something? 

* Who am I to NOT allow courage to give me permission? 

* What can I confront in my life today with courage instead of fear? 

It's OK to be afraid; but what would it look like to walk by faith and choose courage instead?

In today's episode, I share a live feed I recently made from Facebook about how the possibility of doing SealFit Kokoro has gone from the impossible to possible.

Yeah, I mentioned it before about the endurance that was required from 20X, thinking that I would never do the hell that is Kokoro.

And yet, here I am signed up for Kokoro 45 in September, after having faced some stories that were holding me back before.

What were these stories?

Being Polynesian, I wasn't built for what I thought was the typical mold of men that endure Kokoro. I didn't have enough core strength and had no lasting endurance.

There were more and there are always stories that will hold us back from what we can become, so instead of focusing on the stories, I began asking myself the following question:

Who would I have to become to do Kokoro this June? 

I would have to become a man that embraces the pain, losing around 40 lbs just to keep up, but more than anything, the price required to do Kokoro will take a huge physical toll after what I experienced in 20X. I know that by signing up for the September program, I will have allowed myself the prep time needed to push and expand beyond every capacity I had ever thought was possible before now.

We are who we are, and we are powerful. We just forget.

A year ago, 6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days ago, Kokoro was not for me. But today, I signed up. It wasn't cheap, but it's a price to pay for what I want.

Why do this? 

I have a chance to prove to myself the kind of man that I can be. My mindset is ready to train my core to become strong. I have an outcome and a date. If I'm going to pay the money to sign up and verbally commit, I better be damn ready to pay the price.

How do I do this?

Make my practices so hard that the game becomes easy.

I'm going to have to become somebody who is capable of endurance, surrounding myself with others that are also pushing themselves.

When we are able to move beyond the stories and push past the thresholds that we thought were what was holding us back, we'll discover limitless possibilities on the other side.

Ask yourself:

* What stories are holding me back from achieving greatness?  

* What is it that was once impossible for me yesterday that is now a possibility today?

* What kind of a person do I need to become in order to get what I truly want? 

It is never comfortable to go beyond our comfort zone, and it requires commitment to see it through.

I did 10 rounds of rowing 100 meters this morning with some other dudes, and I made up my mind that I was going to destroy these dudes!

And I did.

When you have momentum in life, don't hold back but finish strong. 

Sometimes when a record is made, it motivates others to see that not only they can do the same, but the natural competitiveness within us all has a desire to beat that record as well.

When we get clear about what we want, we have authentic power.

Real clarity brings real power.

Keep in mind that even if we're clear about what you want, there's going to be a point that you hit a wall. How do we get beyond the threshold? By remembering the target that we set out for and surround ourselves with people that are also clear about what they want. 

You can ALWAYS do more when you have a team of supportive brothers and sisters around you. They will push you to go past the pain that comes with expansion.

Decide what you want to do with your life. Make a decision and then STICK to it, every single day.

You will redline, but if you have the right community, they will help you push through. It's ultimately about choice on your part to hear them, just like everything else in life. 

Ask yourself:

* What do I truly want? 

* Where in my life am I clear about ?

* What decision am I making today to do what it required to create? 

In your moment of decisions, you're destiny is forged.

It was a hot yoga workout kind of day, and while sweat was dripping off of every part of my body, I made the realization that the normal or natural part in us wants to look for the easy way out, but we will never get better that way.

Expansion only comes when facing something that we find difficult, so we might a well smile and enjoy the journey.

Happiness is a frame of mind, not a consequence of when everything is going perfectly, especially in regards to money.

Whether you have lots of money or you don't (I've been in both circumstances), it's about enjoying what you have in the present moment. Happiness is a choice.

Selfishness was never happiness, so even though it's an internal journey, external acts of service bring experiences.

Choose happiness today, like in The Happiness Advantage. You choose happiness because it's the path, not the end result of a journey.

Wanting can be very degrading. The key to happiness is appreciation and gratitude, no matter what stage you're in. There's nothing wrong with wanting more, but you need to choose to be in your current state to enjoy the present journey.

You don't need to wait to be happy; you can choose to be happy today.

Ask yourself:

* Am I happy with my current state of being? 

* What can I do to focus more on enjoying the journey?

* What would it take to be happy in going through my experiences? 

If you want something more, set the goal and then go get it. Most times the greatest rewards occur in the preparation which you can best use by enjoying the process.

Kobe Bryant just retired, and love him or hate him, the man has had an illustrious career.

Growing up in Utah, I hated any other teams that were not the Utah Jazz, especially Jordan and the Bulls. I hated him because he was SO good, and it wasn't until he retired that I was able to appreciate how amazing of a basketball player he was.

I learned from that in how I looked at Kobe Bryant. He knew what it was that he wanted from the beginning, driven by his clarity.

He started his career with the potential to be good, sitting on the bench, saying to Shaquille O'Neal, "I will be the best."

There's no middle ground with  Kobe; either he's loved OR hated.

This guy has the most insane work ethic, which is why his body is so beat up. He trained and trained and trained to become the best.

Instead of hating on a man that's great in his craft, what example could you learn from him? Just like I mentioned in the Dark Warrior episode, Kobe embraced the hate and let it fuel him as The Black Mamba, a Dark Warrior that would work through being scrutinized in the public eye.

As I coach a whole slew of people from all over the world, every gender and socio-economic background, there's this common theme that I continue to see:

The time that we spend on something shows the value that we place on it.

What we say we value is irrelevant. It's WHERE we spend our time that reveals what we want. 

The way I prioritize and plan out my day exhibits what I value based off of where I put my time.

The same goes for you.

We all need to: Allot, Slot, Protect.

What does this mean?

We need to ALLOT time towards something by writing it down and give yourself the time required for what your outcomes and strategies are, including drive/prep time.

Then we SLOT the time into a window within the day, the more consistent we are by establishing a routine (e.g. as soon as I wake up I have a certain ritual that I do to start my day) the more 

Last, we PROTECT the time that we've decided to put energy into so that we are not only consistent but thorough because we see the commitments through rather than filling it in with something that we don't truly value.

Why do we do this? Distractions will get in our way from fulfilling the increasing results that we want to do.
