Practice #64 - Climb A Tall Tree
It was hard.
Transcript
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,480
So I'm in the middle of the tree.
2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,600
I'm literally bare hugging it with all my might.
3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,120
I am in so much pain.
4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:17,400
I look down and I see the floor literally just a few feet below me and I look up and
5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,400
I see my goal, the top of the trunk.
6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,080
So I can try and reach up and grab it but I can't get through it yet.
7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:30,800
And so I'm literally just bare hugging this in so much pain because I am shirtless.
8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:37,400
And so the bark is literally scratching at me, cutting me up, like literally cutting
9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:43,360
me to pieces and like getting my legs all, I'm only wearing shorts.
10
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,360
That's all I'm wearing.
11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,880
No shoes, no shirt, no underwear.
12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:54,520
But I'm in the middle of the tree.
13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,280
So much pain.
14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,160
Look down, I'm like I barely made any progress.
15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Look up, I got so far to go.
16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,600
I'm like, and I start to slip.
17
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,240
No, this is all that I want to do.
18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,080
All my only goal is to climb this tree.
19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,360
I'm starting to slip and I'm like, no, no, no.
20
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,320
And I muster all of my might and I grab, pull, lift, repeat.
21
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,560
And I keep going up.
22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,120
It is burning me.
23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:35,000
Like I'm literally getting scratched all over my legs, all over my stomach, everywhere.
24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And I'm doing this, it literally takes like, it feels like an eternity, but in hindsight
25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,160
it probably only was like a minute or two of climbing.
26
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,520
My arms are sore.
27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:58,160
I haven't taken a rest day from lifting in like literally like two weeks maybe.
28
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:04,960
But I see my friend right here and I don't want to fail in front of him.
29
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,960
This is our goal.
30
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,240
This is our challenge.
31
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,000
We've been climbing trees over the past couple of weeks.
32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,880
None this hard.
33
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,360
But progressively the trees have been getting harder and harder and harder.
34
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,600
And this was the most difficult tree.
35
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,400
All the trees before we could reach the trunk just by jumping or at least just grabbing
36
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,960
and reaching it.
37
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,880
But this tree, no, no, this was a different story.
38
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:37,000
This was the type of tree that you walk by and never think that you could climb it.
39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,320
You think to yourself, oh, that's a nice tree.
40
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,560
Never climb it though.
41
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Like that's not a climbing tree.
42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,080
There's a climbing tree and then there's a tree.
43
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,440
A climbing tree is the type where you can reach the branch.
44
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:57,000
And a tree is anything else, including that too.
45
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,080
So we're walking around looking for a tree to climb for that day because we're like,
46
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,800
oh, let's climb a tree a day.
47
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,280
And we spot this tree.
48
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:12,080
And I'm like, we're kind of like walking by, walking by the tree, looking for a tree.
49
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,000
And we both kind of like walk away.
50
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,200
We're like, no, not that one.
51
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,880
But that's what we're saying to ourselves in our mind.
52
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,360
But I'm like, you know what?
53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,520
Let's do it.
54
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,120
Let's do this tree.
55
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,200
So we start like, we're both like, what are, what are you talking about?
56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,480
Like I'm literally saying that to myself and he is saying that to me.
57
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,480
And then, but I feel like I think what actually happened was we're both like, oh yeah, let's
58
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,080
do it.
59
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Even though in our minds we're like, dude, what is this?
60
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,920
Like how are we going to climb this thing?
61
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,520
So I go first.
62
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:55,480
I'm literally like, I jump up and I hold and I'm like, dude, what am I doing?
63
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,640
And then I'm like, this is the only way I can think to do this.
64
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:09,000
So I start like literally bear crawling and I get up halfway and I'm like, dude, this
65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
hurts so bad.
66
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,160
I don't want to do this.
67
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,040
And I remember that my friends watching.
68
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,640
So I'm like, no, I'm not failing.
69
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,920
I'm not failing in front of my friend.
70
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,080
I'm doing this.
71
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,200
So I go up again.
72
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:32,320
I go up, I go up, I go up and I'm like, and I finally reach the branch and I am so relieved.
73
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,840
Reach it, pull myself up and I'm just chilling.
74
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,520
I am relaxing.
75
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,440
It feels amazing.
76
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,840
I literally just fall down into the branches.
77
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:44,400
I'm like, oh, oh my gosh.
78
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,480
I look at all my cuts and I'm just like, oh, let's go.
79
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,040
But then it's my friend's turn.
80
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,840
He's got to prove himself now.
81
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:55,840
I just did it.
82
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,680
Now he's got to do it.
83
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,440
So he's like trying, he's trying.
84
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,920
He tries a different method.
85
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,640
Instead of literally bear hugging, he literally like, he literally like wraps his arms around
86
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:14,000
and then holds his feet like this and then like climbs up like that.
87
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,040
And then he literally gets up.
88
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,800
He gets up the same too.
89
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,680
He has his struggles.
90
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,880
He's like, I'm not going to fail.
91
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,720
I'm not going to fail.
92
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,080
He gets up.
93
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,920
We're both chilling on top of this tree.
94
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,160
Not a climbing tree.
95
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Yet the reward was immense.
96
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:44,760
We probably sit on top of that tree for maybe like two hours just because it feels so great.
97
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,040
And we literally just sit there, talk and just relax.
98
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:55,040
And I found a spot on the tree where I can genuinely lay down like it's a bed.
99
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,160
And so I'm literally just laying here like this.
100
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,800
And my friend is like right above.
101
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,920
He found his like comfortable position.
102
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,920
We're just chilling.
103
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,360
We're just talking, strategizing business, talking about how we just did this thing,
104
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,600
how we thought it wasn't possible.
105
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:22,400
And this tree exercise was so valuable because we have been reading this book, Reality Transurfing,
106
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:29,520
which has literally torn down all of our limiting beliefs or taught us how to tear them down
107
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,400
in the future.
108
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:37,440
Even though that wasn't really the objective of the book, that's what happened.
109
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,960
We'd both been studying this book for months at this point.
110
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,040
And we're like, you know what?
111
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,040
Let's do this.
112
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,360
Let's do some transurfing exercises.
113
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,120
Even though there's nothing in that book that says climb a tree.
114
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,440
But we're like, you know, let's just do it.
115
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,560
Let's prove to ourselves something that we think is not going to like not possible, but
116
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,440
then let's do it anyways and achieve it.
117
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:00,720
And we climb this tree.
118
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,160
We are both thinking like, dude, what is going on?
119
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,800
Like, am I serious?
120
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:11,120
Like, we're not going to be able to climb this thing.
121
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,360
But we do it anyways.
122
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:19,000
And we prove to ourselves like, oh, we can actually achieve a lot more than our mind thinks
123
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,440
that we can.
124
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,760
Like so much more.
125
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,320
It's like that exercise was so valuable.
126
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Just climbing a tree, climbing a difficult tree.
127
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,800
And we were talking about that for pretty much weeks and we're like, oh, we climbed that
128
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,800
tree.
129
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,800
We climbed that tree.
130
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Like we proved ourselves that we can actually achieve things.
131
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,080
We can actually achieve whatever we want.
132
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,000
But then we kind of forgot about it.
133
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Like, we stopped talking about it.
134
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,520
And then I remembered it last night.
135
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,760
I was like, we climbed that tree.
136
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,960
We can achieve way more than we think that we can.
137
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,280
Like so much more.
138
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:14,720
It's actually insane how much you can achieve if you just try.
139
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,960
And just trying is not enough.
140
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,720
Like I just tried and I got halfway up and I started to look down and started to slip.
141
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,520
And I was like, oh no.
142
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,520
Like I'm my fail.
143
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,800
I'm my fail.
144
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,280
You have to endure through.
145
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,280
You have to endure through the pain.
146
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,280
And so I did.
147
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,520
I pushed through the pain.
148
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,720
I was literally getting cut.
149
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,720
I had scars on my abs for weeks.
150
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,800
Scars on my leg right here and here for weeks.
151
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,440
But I pushed through the pain just to achieve it.
152
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,960
And it reminds me back when I was playing video games.
153
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,760
It's funny because I always thought that video games was like the worst use of my time.
154
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,480
Or at least I never, like I thought it was just a complete waste.
155
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:10,240
But it actually reminds me of a lesson that I learned playing Minecraft.
156
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,720
Where I wanted to create this awesome world.
157
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,880
But it's very tedious to do so.
158
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:22,440
Like you have to sit for hours of repetitive motions.
159
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Literally doing the same exact thing, sitting in your chair, clicking the same button for
160
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,640
hours.
161
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:33,720
And you have to endure through that pain, that boredom, that tiredness, that tedious
162
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440
work.
163
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:44,040
And what came as a result after months of this was a very noteworthy world.
164
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:51,480
A very nice world that someone could look at and be like, wow, that's a good world.
165
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,120
That's an accomplishment.
166
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,480
It's all about endurance.
167
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:14,760
It's all about trying and then persevering.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,480
So I'm in the middle of the tree.
2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,600
I'm literally bare hugging it with all my might.
3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,120
I am in so much pain.
4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:17,400
I look down and I see the floor literally just a few feet below me and I look up and
5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,400
I see my goal, the top of the trunk.
6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,080
So I can try and reach up and grab it but I can't get through it yet.
7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:30,800
And so I'm literally just bare hugging this in so much pain because I am shirtless.
8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:37,400
And so the bark is literally scratching at me, cutting me up, like literally cutting
9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:43,360
me to pieces and like getting my legs all, I'm only wearing shorts.
10
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,360
That's all I'm wearing.
11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,880
No shoes, no shirt, no underwear.
12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:54,520
But I'm in the middle of the tree.
13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,280
So much pain.
14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,160
Look down, I'm like I barely made any progress.
15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Look up, I got so far to go.
16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,600
I'm like, and I start to slip.
17
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,240
No, this is all that I want to do.
18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,080
All my only goal is to climb this tree.
19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,360
I'm starting to slip and I'm like, no, no, no.
20
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,320
And I muster all of my might and I grab, pull, lift, repeat.
21
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,560
And I keep going up.
22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,120
It is burning me.
23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:35,000
Like I'm literally getting scratched all over my legs, all over my stomach, everywhere.
24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And I'm doing this, it literally takes like, it feels like an eternity, but in hindsight
25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,160
it probably only was like a minute or two of climbing.
26
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,520
My arms are sore.
27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:58,160
I haven't taken a rest day from lifting in like literally like two weeks maybe.
28
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:04,960
But I see my friend right here and I don't want to fail in front of him.
29
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,960
This is our goal.
30
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,240
This is our challenge.
31
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,000
We've been climbing trees over the past couple of weeks.
32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,880
None this hard.
33
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,360
But progressively the trees have been getting harder and harder and harder.
34
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,600
And this was the most difficult tree.
35
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,400
All the trees before we could reach the trunk just by jumping or at least just grabbing
36
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,960
and reaching it.
37
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,880
But this tree, no, no, this was a different story.
38
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:37,000
This was the type of tree that you walk by and never think that you could climb it.
39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,320
You think to yourself, oh, that's a nice tree.
40
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,560
Never climb it though.
41
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Like that's not a climbing tree.
42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,080
There's a climbing tree and then there's a tree.
43
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,440
A climbing tree is the type where you can reach the branch.
44
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:57,000
And a tree is anything else, including that too.
45
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,080
So we're walking around looking for a tree to climb for that day because we're like,
46
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,800
oh, let's climb a tree a day.
47
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,280
And we spot this tree.
48
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:12,080
And I'm like, we're kind of like walking by, walking by the tree, looking for a tree.
49
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,000
And we both kind of like walk away.
50
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,200
We're like, no, not that one.
51
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,880
But that's what we're saying to ourselves in our mind.
52
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,360
But I'm like, you know what?
53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,520
Let's do it.
54
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,120
Let's do this tree.
55
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,200
So we start like, we're both like, what are, what are you talking about?
56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,480
Like I'm literally saying that to myself and he is saying that to me.
57
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,480
And then, but I feel like I think what actually happened was we're both like, oh yeah, let's
58
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,080
do it.
59
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Even though in our minds we're like, dude, what is this?
60
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,920
Like how are we going to climb this thing?
61
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,520
So I go first.
62
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:55,480
I'm literally like, I jump up and I hold and I'm like, dude, what am I doing?
63
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,640
And then I'm like, this is the only way I can think to do this.
64
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:09,000
So I start like literally bear crawling and I get up halfway and I'm like, dude, this
65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
hurts so bad.
66
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,160
I don't want to do this.
67
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,040
And I remember that my friends watching.
68
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,640
So I'm like, no, I'm not failing.
69
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,920
I'm not failing in front of my friend.
70
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,080
I'm doing this.
71
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,200
So I go up again.
72
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:32,320
I go up, I go up, I go up and I'm like, and I finally reach the branch and I am so relieved.
73
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,840
Reach it, pull myself up and I'm just chilling.
74
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,520
I am relaxing.
75
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,440
It feels amazing.
76
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,840
I literally just fall down into the branches.
77
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:44,400
I'm like, oh, oh my gosh.
78
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,480
I look at all my cuts and I'm just like, oh, let's go.
79
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,040
But then it's my friend's turn.
80
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,840
He's got to prove himself now.
81
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:55,840
I just did it.
82
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,680
Now he's got to do it.
83
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,440
So he's like trying, he's trying.
84
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,920
He tries a different method.
85
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,640
Instead of literally bear hugging, he literally like, he literally like wraps his arms around
86
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:14,000
and then holds his feet like this and then like climbs up like that.
87
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,040
And then he literally gets up.
88
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,800
He gets up the same too.
89
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,680
He has his struggles.
90
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,880
He's like, I'm not going to fail.
91
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,720
I'm not going to fail.
92
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,080
He gets up.
93
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,920
We're both chilling on top of this tree.
94
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,160
Not a climbing tree.
95
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Yet the reward was immense.
96
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:44,760
We probably sit on top of that tree for maybe like two hours just because it feels so great.
97
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,040
And we literally just sit there, talk and just relax.
98
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:55,040
And I found a spot on the tree where I can genuinely lay down like it's a bed.
99
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,160
And so I'm literally just laying here like this.
100
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,800
And my friend is like right above.
101
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,920
He found his like comfortable position.
102
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,920
We're just chilling.
103
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,360
We're just talking, strategizing business, talking about how we just did this thing,
104
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,600
how we thought it wasn't possible.
105
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:22,400
And this tree exercise was so valuable because we have been reading this book, Reality Transurfing,
106
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:29,520
which has literally torn down all of our limiting beliefs or taught us how to tear them down
107
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,400
in the future.
108
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:37,440
Even though that wasn't really the objective of the book, that's what happened.
109
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,960
We'd both been studying this book for months at this point.
110
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,040
And we're like, you know what?
111
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,040
Let's do this.
112
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,360
Let's do some transurfing exercises.
113
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,120
Even though there's nothing in that book that says climb a tree.
114
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,440
But we're like, you know, let's just do it.
115
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,560
Let's prove to ourselves something that we think is not going to like not possible, but
116
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,440
then let's do it anyways and achieve it.
117
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:00,720
And we climb this tree.
118
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,160
We are both thinking like, dude, what is going on?
119
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,800
Like, am I serious?
120
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:11,120
Like, we're not going to be able to climb this thing.
121
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,360
But we do it anyways.
122
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:19,000
And we prove to ourselves like, oh, we can actually achieve a lot more than our mind thinks
123
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,440
that we can.
124
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,760
Like so much more.
125
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,320
It's like that exercise was so valuable.
126
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Just climbing a tree, climbing a difficult tree.
127
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,800
And we were talking about that for pretty much weeks and we're like, oh, we climbed that
128
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,800
tree.
129
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,800
We climbed that tree.
130
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Like we proved ourselves that we can actually achieve things.
131
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,080
We can actually achieve whatever we want.
132
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,000
But then we kind of forgot about it.
133
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Like, we stopped talking about it.
134
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,520
And then I remembered it last night.
135
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,760
I was like, we climbed that tree.
136
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,960
We can achieve way more than we think that we can.
137
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,280
Like so much more.
138
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:14,720
It's actually insane how much you can achieve if you just try.
139
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,960
And just trying is not enough.
140
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,720
Like I just tried and I got halfway up and I started to look down and started to slip.
141
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,520
And I was like, oh no.
142
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,520
Like I'm my fail.
143
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,800
I'm my fail.
144
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,280
You have to endure through.
145
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,280
You have to endure through the pain.
146
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,280
And so I did.
147
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,520
I pushed through the pain.
148
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,720
I was literally getting cut.
149
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,720
I had scars on my abs for weeks.
150
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,800
Scars on my leg right here and here for weeks.
151
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,440
But I pushed through the pain just to achieve it.
152
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,960
And it reminds me back when I was playing video games.
153
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,760
It's funny because I always thought that video games was like the worst use of my time.
154
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,480
Or at least I never, like I thought it was just a complete waste.
155
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:10,240
But it actually reminds me of a lesson that I learned playing Minecraft.
156
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,720
Where I wanted to create this awesome world.
157
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,880
But it's very tedious to do so.
158
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:22,440
Like you have to sit for hours of repetitive motions.
159
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Literally doing the same exact thing, sitting in your chair, clicking the same button for
160
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,640
hours.
161
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:33,720
And you have to endure through that pain, that boredom, that tiredness, that tedious
162
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440
work.
163
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:44,040
And what came as a result after months of this was a very noteworthy world.
164
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:51,480
A very nice world that someone could look at and be like, wow, that's a good world.
165
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,120
That's an accomplishment.
166
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,480
It's all about endurance.
167
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:14,760
It's all about trying and then persevering.
