The Governor

I believe that most human beings are only living at About 40% of their capability The mind has a governor like a car If you're driving a car and the car has a governor on it The car may say 130 miles an hour But the governor set at 91 Once that governor sets in and you get to 91 The car starts doing this The car wants to go The car wants to go but that fucking factory said "uh-huh" We're not going past 91 We have a factory- a nice governor in our brain And it's a survival mechanism it protects us from pain and suffering From pain and suffering The second we feel that shit our mind says, oh no this isn't fun We should back off We should sit down Find something more comfortable There's something about the mind The mind has the tactical advantage over you At all times At all times of your life, the mind has a tactical advantage over you Why is that? It knows what you're afraid of, it knows Your insecurities, it knows your deep dark lies And it starts to push you away from that shit It pushes you in a direction that is comfortable The mind controls everything The mind controls everything The mind controls everything So what I realized was that when I was growing up And I was 300 pounds, I got all fat and I got all insecure I realized that my mind kept taking me in this direction When things got uncomfortable for me when I was facing My insecurities, I was facing my fears my mind said "Oh no we got the tactical advantage" We just get you, separate you from this feeling Your lives all about feelings We want that happy feeling We don't want that feeling of, this sucks Why am I here? So you can't answer those questions so you leave I started realizing that If in that moment you can answer those fucked up questions And you are now In charge of your brain Versus your brain ruling you That's what all that stuff comes from So the 40% rule Is all of that You get the 40% Your brain says "We're done." The mind controls everything "We're done." The mind controls everything "Let's roll man this is starting to get painful This is uncomfortable" The mind controls everything "We're done." The mind controls everything "Let's roll man this is starting to get painful This is uncomfortable" So you sit down You have to figure out ways And everybody's different We all have these things about Five steps to this and four steps to this It's a lot more than that; that's all bullshit It's a practice that you have It's a habit So, if you know that at 40% I'm feeling pain At 40% I'm feeling pain That's where the 40% rule kicks in Now it starts Okay, I'm feeling pain My mind is saying all this shit to me It's saying get out of here Run - flee - the fight-or-flight kicks in Okay, we're done, we're not good enough It starts telling you all these things You start to believe it Because the mind controls all This is the time where you have To gain control back of your mind It's okay Let me see if I can go 45% And once you start giving yourself more and more hope And start realizing "Okay" The mind starts to be "Okay what are you doing?" "We're supposed to be going right" "And you're going left" You start then controlling your mind Start finding more In yourself and it goes 40% to a lot further than that But that's the start of it all Get to the spot where you mind is saying stop Wherever that is You got to get there first and then That's where that shit start to work for you You got to control yourself in that moment The mind controls everything "We're done." The mind controls everything "Let's roll man this is starting to get painful This is uncomfortable" The mind controls everything "It is saying get out of here run" The mind controls everything "Okay, we're done we're not good enough" It starts telling you all these things That's all bullshit
