6 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
What would you say are three brutal truths that young men need to hear in order to become more successful in life?
You have to be willing to trade the things you love right now for the things you want.
And you may not like the price.
Of what you want, but you can't change the price.
And so there 's all this groveling that goes back and forth for younger men of like basically
wishing it did n't cost this much time or cost as much failure or cost as much risk
in order to get to where they want to go.
And so they basically stomp their heels and then,
you know, retreat inwards into their basement and video games and whatever else,
rather than confronting their own inadequacy.
Because the first thing you have to do is say, it's my fault.
Everything that I have in my life is my fault.
But if it's your fault, it's also under your control to change because you cannot change what you do not control.
And so to me, it's taking full accountability.
So that's number one.
The second thing is if you want to change your behavior, change your conditions.
And so one of the most powerful things that you can do is change who you surround yourself with and where you live.
And so if you have an environment of people around you who speak ill of you or like basically reinforce the wrong trains
and the wrong actions, there 's a reason I left Baltimore.
