If you don't have discipline, you don't have anything right. If I wasn't disciplined enough to train, I would have never seen my talent. Because the guy with less talent than me who trained harder than me would have been kicking my ass. So you don't get to discover anything about yourself. You don't get to discover any of your genetic advantages. Any of your talents.

Every morning Tristan holds out his open palms and says “Don’t worry Andrew, your destiny is right here, in my hands, I will take care of you”

Then he walks across the cell and “trips” to “drop” my imaginary destiny into the toilet.

He then stares at me while flushing the toilet 15 times in a row laughing manically.

You need to get good at getting good at things, and you need to get good at trying 100% at all things, whether you like them or not. And this will give you a base level of competency in all realms, even if you're not in love with said task.

In jail, you have food. You are not on fire. You are bored, but you are okay.

So why are you suffering?

The only torture comes from your own mind.

This isn’t just jail… this is life.

Control your thoughts or suffer.

What do you have to tell?

The men who say I can't feel like it cannot compete with the men who do not say that. And it's player versus player, the man who goes to the gym every single day, regardless of how he feels will always beat the man who goes to the gym when he feels like going to the gym.

The timing of my imprisonment was not a coincidence.

Prepare for 2027.

I'm just a piece they decided they needed to remove.

I am not the final objective.

Get rid of the feeling of failure in your heart. You need to get rid of that fear of failure. If you were to tell me I'm going to fail at said task, I would be excited to fail so I can see what I learn along the way.

Harder times are coming.

Today? These are the good ol’ days.

Smile :)

You don't want a boss telling you get here at 9am. And you're allowed one week holiday a year, you better finish that file by five o'clock. No man, well, no fucking man wants that shit. So you're sitting there pissed off thinking I need money to escape. And because you're constantly obsessed with money, and how to escape, you find a way to make money.

If you've heard of it, why are you still broke? Do you think all the other people in the $50 million houses are just working a job?

Mentally - everyone is breakable.

Rigidity breaks. And you’re finished.

Embrace emotion. Feel it and control it.

Be sad and enjoy being sad.

Be happy and enjoy being happy.

You won’t break if you constantly bend.

Be like water.

That's the greatest thing about being a man. As a man, when you upgrade your life and you become a better man, by extension, you automatically improve the lives of all of your friends, of your woman, of your children, of your community, of your country. We radiate.

You have to have difficulty happening to you all the time. So when you sit and say, I want an easy life, what you're saying is, You're a dummy and you want to be a dummy. You want to stay a dummy.

Pain releases massive amounts of neurochemical and psychological energy.

Untamed it manifests as anxiety, depression or despair.

Tamed it conquers the world.

Attack the world or attack yourself.

Life's biggest winners and losers are driven by the exact same fuel.

Make a list of the 10 things you'd do if they were guaranteed wins. And once that list is made, look in the mirror and decide to give them 100% of your effort, all of your heart and soul. You're going to try your very best.

Tristan writes a letter reporting a crime every single day.

Each morning he writes a report about how I stole his peanut butter or didn’t say thank you for a water, writes out one page on what happened, the time the date and the location of which part of the cell it happened in.

Then he hands it to the guards and asks them to forward it to the Department of Justice

The lesson for you is, next time you get some money, you need to take that money and find a way to charge others for your service, and your service has to be something that helps them. That is the lesson.
