42. The Invisible Wall - The Warrior Kid Club Class

Look around the room. Every single one of you wants to be strong, capable, and a leader. But there is a massive trap that stops most people from ever getting there. It’s called the Comfort Zone.

 The Comfort Zone is easy. It’s staying in bed when the alarm goes off. It’s eating junk food. It’s only doing the things you’re already good at. It feels nice, but here is the truth: Nothing great ever grows there. If you only do what is easy, you stay exactly who you are right now.

 To become a warrior, you have to step into the Growth Zone. And the doorway to the Growth Zone is always marked by one thing: Discomfort.

Alright. So let's look around the room. Every single one of you wants to be strong, capable leaders, right? But there's a massive trap that stops most people from ever getting there. And guess what that's called? That the comfort zone. Destin loves the comfort zone.

No, I don't.

He loves to be in his bed warm, snoozing alone. He loves watching TV. The comfort zone is easy. It's staying in bed when the alarm goes off. It's eating junk food. It's only doing the things you're already good at. It feels nice. But here's the truth: nothing great ever grows there. If you only do it easy, the easy thing, you stay exactly where you are right now. And in the Warrior Kid Club, is that what we want to do? No. No, exactly. To become a warrior, you have to step into the growth zone. And the doorway to the growth zone is always marked by one thing this discomfort. And are you comfortable right now while we're traveling all over the place? No, sometimes it's like that, and that's growth. So even when you're traveling, so we're on the road. A lot of you guys know we're living nomadically right now. So we're the whole family is in a very uncomfortable situation. And we don't have the regular toys, we don't have our regular cooking supplies, we don't have a lot of things. So that's where we're gonna grow. Yeah. What's up, buddy? So the rule of friction. Think about how things work in the real world. How do muscles get bigger? You have to lift things that are heavy enough to make them burn. How do you forge a sword? You don't just wish it into existence. You put the metal into a blazing hot fire and smash it with a hammer. The burn you feel when you're tired, the frustration you feel when a skill is hard to learn, that isn't a sign to stop. That is a feeling of your brain and your body leveling up. No friction, no strength, period. So, first, while we're talking about that, think about the last time you had friction or were uncomfortable. How did you handle that situation? Okay, just stay with that for a moment. Just think about that while I'm speaking here. All right. A lot of times when we're younger, we want to complain, cry, and try to get out of it. And it's our parents' jobs. Parents, it's our job to keep pushing our kids through that. That's why one of our mottos is what? Push through the what?

unknown 3:52

Struggle.

SPEAKER_01 3:53

Look, he's struggling right now opening orange juice. Why didn't you push through that struggle? All right, choosing your hard though. You don't get to escape hard things in life. You just get to choose which hard thing you want. It is hard to do your push-ups, clean your room, practice skills when you don't feel like it. That's the heart of discipline. But you know what else is hard? Looking back and knowing you gave up. Being weak when someone needs your help because you skipped training. That's the heart of regret. Discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs in tons. Choose your heart. We don't want more regrets. We want more discipline in choosing the hard, right? So here's the secret weapon you can use in starting today. Pay attention to the voice in your head. Remember, we talked about the red flares? That's listening to that voice. The moment you have a task to do, that voice is going to whisper, I don't want to do it. Let's do it tomorrow. Okay, do it later. The second you hear that voice, I want you to flip the switch. Your new rule is if I don't want to do it, that is the exact reason why I must do it. Right, Dustin? If I don't want to do it, I must do it. All right. Then you're gonna teach yourself to do the hard. We do not wait around for motivation or good feelings to do the job. Warriors rely on discipline, which means we rule over our feelings. Our feelings do not rule over us. And remember, discipline is not something that you're born with. Discipline's just a habit, it's something that you teach yourself over and over. Exactly. You have to work for it. Discipline is not, you're not born with it. No one's born with discipline. You have to learn it over time. So, today's mission. I want you to think of one thing today that you really don't want to do. Maybe it's fin yes, and do it. Maybe it's doing an extra set of reps. Maybe it's wanting to do a cold shower. Maybe it's cleaning up a mess that you didn't want. Maybe it's doing a thousand burpees. Maybe it's doing a thousand burpees. Find that one thing today. Look it right in the eye and crush it. All right. That is your homework. And then the rest of the week, the homework is to continue doing that one thing every day. Every day, every day is gonna come up with something where you don't want to do it. So every day this week, I challenge you, and your home mission is to do it. When you hear that little voice creep up, I don't want to do it. What's one of our three rules? No excuses. No excuses. And sometimes our little warriors have to remind themselves. Right? So, guys, that's the mission for the week. I hope you're having a great Sunday. Um push through struggle. Push through the struggle. Yeah, he got beast, his first beast thing, and he handled it like a champ, right? It's called push through struggle. Did you push through the struggle when he got stung? No, and that's fine. We don't expect our kids to be perfect. Remember that. It's everything's in progress. Progress over perfection. All right. So, what hard thing are you conquering today? Let me know down in the comments. Have a great day. Let's get after it.
