0:40
your celebrate miles. Actually, I've been using the future
0:42
of this entire module. Have a bunch of my team
0:44
members. You live in a while where we can truly
0:46
believe it is the best fitness app that someone else
0:49
gets started with an on month free trial.
0:51
It's interesting because I grew up obviously
0:53
a sponsored mindset. Attached -- Drive
0:55
users. -- or on slash my account before
0:57
it was anytime for a full refund. Perfect.
1:00
For the modern but I'm also here now and I create
1:02
a lot of content. I put it out there. And I
1:04
actually see a lot of people's joy
1:06
being stolen from their life because
1:09
they're too busy comparing themselves with everybody else.
1:11
They're comparing themselves they're they're comparing their body
1:13
to somebody else's body who's been working
1:15
out for ten years straight and then they get down on
1:17
themselves. They're comparing their business
1:19
that's three weeks old to someone
1:21
else who's been running the business for three years
1:24
and running trying to figure out why they're not
1:26
where they are. The other person is
1:28
at this point in time. Live in a world where we can
1:30
constantly see everything that everyone else is doing,
1:32
and we compare ourselves. We see where they are.
1:35
Oh my gosh. They traveled to this amazing thing.
1:37
haven't left town in three weeks. What am
1:39
I doing with my life? We can see what they're
1:41
wearing. We can see what they're eating. We can see
1:43
who they're with. And if you
1:45
spend enough time on social media,
1:47
I bet that you compare yourself
1:49
sometimes with some people. And now, comparison
1:52
itself is not
1:54
necessarily a bad thing. There is a lot
1:56
of good in comparison. You know, if
1:58
you think about comparing, you can compare
2:00
how fast a car is going compared
2:03
to your speed to see
2:05
if you should turn or not. That is where it becomes
2:07
beneficial. Our ancestors could
2:09
compare the size of an animal
2:12
that was running at them to figure out if it
2:14
was something to be afraid of. And if it was
2:16
something to be afraid of, they could compare how
2:18
fast it is moving compared to how fast
2:20
they can move and decide do I run
2:23
or do I climb the nearest tree? And
2:25
they could compare the speed of things that
2:27
were happening, the size of things were happening. And
2:30
so that itself is very
2:32
beneficial. We can compare the
2:34
food that's on our plate to the size of our stomach
2:36
and go, yeah, that's probably a little bit
2:38
more than I need. So comparison does
2:41
have some beneficial uses, but
2:43
when you're not paying attention to your brain
2:45
and it's just running a muck like it normally
2:47
is, and you're looking at somebody else's
2:49
life on Instagram, that's when
2:51
it starts to get bad. Especially when you
2:53
can look at someone else's life on Instagram and think,
2:55
oh my god, they're so happy they have such a
2:57
great relation ship. They have so much money. They're
2:59
so successful when in reality. What
3:02
we're seeing from somebody else is the highlights
3:04
of their life, not the the low lights
3:06
of their life. And so one thing that
3:08
is important to realize is that
3:10
every single person is on a different path. Right?
3:12
So people can look like people come
3:14
up to me all the time and they're like, Rob, how do I
3:16
have a podcast that's successful like yours?
3:18
And I'm like, well, do like thirteen,
3:20
fourteen hundred episodes and come back to me
3:22
in eight years and let see where you are.
3:25
So if you're, like, on, I don't know, episode
3:27
three, you can't really compare Comcast episode
3:30
three to somebody else's fourteen
3:32
hundredth podcast because sometimes
3:34
we just gotta go through each chapter of our life.
3:36
And in one of my favorite phrases that
3:39
has to do with this, is you can't
3:41
compare your chapter one to
3:43
somebody else's chapter twenty. And so
3:45
if you're on your third podcast episode
3:47
and you're like, I don't feel like I'm good, I feel
3:49
like I know what I'm doing. I don't feel like this
3:51
is growing. And then you're looking
3:53
at someone else's podcast who's been doing it for a
3:55
long time. Yeah. Of course, they have more experience.
3:57
They have more time. They have more
4:00
under their belt than you.
4:02
And, you know, it's it's funny
4:04
because I started taking boxing lessons. Right?
4:07
And today was the the second boxing
4:09
lesson that I did. This guy comes over to my house. We've been doing
4:11
boxing lessons and stuff. And
4:13
I I've I've find myself fumbling
4:16
around because I'm I'm first off, I'm
4:18
sore of shit in random places I've never been
4:20
sore before because I'm like, I'm moving my body in
4:22
ways I've never moved. Like, I'm sore between
4:24
my freaking knuckles. Right? Like such a
4:26
weird place to be sore. And
4:28
when he's talking about, okay, 123,
4:30
and he's talking about a jab, and he's talking about a
4:32
right hook, and uppercut, and all of these
4:34
different things, he does it and it's like
4:36
it's like a snap and it looks it looks so
4:38
effortless, but he's been doing it
4:40
for fifteen years. And so I can look
4:42
at myself and look at him and be like, well, I'll
4:44
never be as good as him and he's so much better.
4:47
Maybe I just Maybe this isn't for me
4:49
or I can go, you know what? This is
4:51
my chapter one. Like, I'm I'm not even on chapter
4:53
one. I'm still reading the introduction. Of
4:55
this book. This guy is probably
4:57
finished this book and he's onto his next book.
4:59
And so the quote that goes
5:01
along with this is you'll never be a graceful
5:04
master if you don't allow yourself to
5:06
be a foolish beginner. And so do
5:08
I look like a giraffe
5:10
that was just birthed and is trying to figure out how to
5:12
walk? I do. Does he look
5:14
like he's been doing this for a long time? He does,
5:16
but I can never get to looking
5:18
as graceful as he does unless I go
5:20
through the foolish beginner stage.
5:23
Kast we're just afraid to
5:25
go through the foolish beginner stage. And we think
5:27
that just because of the fact that, oh my gosh, I took
5:29
two boxing lessons. I should be a fucking expert.
5:31
Or you know what? I've been going to the gym
5:33
for three weeks. Why am I not in shape yet? Or
5:35
you know what? I've been running my business now for two
5:37
months. Why am I not a millionaire yet?
5:39
And, you know, an example is like, you know, if somebody's
5:42
overweight, they can't compare their
5:44
body to somebody on Instagram who's been
5:46
working out for seven years. Like,
5:48
all you have to do is just go, I need
5:50
to show up every single day And if
5:52
I'm better than I was yesterday and I
5:54
take this path and I just continue on this
5:56
path for as long as possible, eventually
5:58
I will be as far along
6:00
as they are. So if someone's
6:02
overweight now, it doesn't mean that they'll
6:04
always be overweight. But if
6:06
they start to make changes and they take the
6:08
right daily actions, they could eventually
6:10
at this fast forward seven years have
6:12
the same body as that person. But
6:14
if we look at someone on Instagram
6:16
now and we compare ourselves
6:19
to them. And we make ourselves feel
6:21
bad about the fact that we don't look like them.
6:23
We'll never actually motivate ourselves to
6:26
take the action that we need to to create the
6:28
life that we want to. And so maybe
6:30
you just started. That's okay. You can't
6:32
expect to have the body that you want already.
6:34
But you can compare your body
6:36
to your body yesterday. If
6:38
you have been working out for a month,
6:42
can you help on the scale and see how your body
6:44
has changed Can you think about how
6:46
your body has changed when you look in the mirror?
6:48
Can you think about how maybe your body has
6:50
more energy? And so instead of comparing
6:52
ourselves to somebody else, we've
6:54
gotta learn to compare yourself to who we were
6:56
yesterday. That's what we need to do.
6:58
That's the only comparison that we should ever
7:00
make when it comes to our lives. Am
7:02
I better than I was yesterday? Do
7:05
I have more knowledge than I did yesterday?
7:07
Do I feel like I'm taking steps in the
7:09
right direction for my health better
7:11
than I was yesterday. Do I feel like I'm
7:14
reading more and my intellect is growing
7:16
more than it was, more than
7:18
I know more today than I did yesterday when
7:20
I went to bed. That's it we should
7:22
start preparing yourself. Do I have more money
7:24
in my bank account than I did last
7:26
week? Or last month or
7:28
two months ago. So instead of being like,
7:30
well, why am I not a millionaire yet? I should
7:32
be a millionaire at this point. Look at your bank
7:34
account six months ago. Do you have more money in your bank
7:36
account than you did six months ago? If
7:38
so, that's a great comparison. You're
7:41
getting better. You're saving more. What
7:43
does it take to achieve your fitness goals? Competitive
7:45
drive fuels a fire, but going beyond
7:47

9:14
was younger when I was like twenty one. It's crazy I
9:16
think of how you get older and you're just
9:18
you realize that you don't know shit, the
9:21
older that you get. Like, I thought I knew everything when I
9:23
was twenty one, you know, I'm thirty six years old now,
9:25
so fast forward fifteen years and I think I don't know
9:27
anything. But back then, I thought I knew everything. And
9:29
so I would be like, man, I'm twenty one.
9:31
I'm working so hard. I'm putting in, like, a hundred hours
9:33
a week. Why am I not a millionaire yet? And I was looking
9:35
at all these people that were, like, millionaires and they
9:37
were successful. And I used to live when I was twenty
9:39
one, I lived down in Fort Lauderdale, and I
9:41
lived right by, you know, Fort Lauderdale is a
9:43
ton of money. Palm Beach is a ton of
9:45
money. I was right by Boca Raton. Boca Raton. There's a
9:47
ridiculous amount of money. And I was
9:49
comparing myself to all of these people who
9:51
are who are, you know, they had jets and they had
9:53
ventilies and they had Ferrari's name, all these
9:55
cool cars and cool life, but it
9:57
ever took a step back until recently, now
9:59
that I am older and just realized that things
10:01
take time I
10:03
was twenty one comparing myself to
10:05
guys who were like sixty three years old.
10:07
And it's like, of course, they
10:09
have more than me. Of course, they have a different life
10:11
to me. They've been on this path three
10:13
they're literally three times my age
10:15
is what I could have thought to myself. I think
10:17
I would have had a lot less stress
10:20
and anxiety when I was younger. If
10:22
I would've stopped comparing myself to
10:24
sixty three year old people and started comparing
10:26
myself to what who I was the month before
10:28
and who I was three weeks before and who I
10:30
was a year before. And so you
10:32
can't compare yourself to somebody
10:34
else. The only person you could compare
10:36
yourself to is you in the past.
10:38
You can't compare your business that you
10:40
just started to your friend's business who's
10:42
been in the industry for ten years.
10:44
Yours hasn't had as much time to
10:46
mature as theirs has. You haven't
10:48
had as much mistakes as
10:51
they have. You haven't learned the
10:53
lessons that you need to learn to get you
10:55
to where you wanna go. But you
10:57
can compare your business today to where
10:59
it was six months ago or
11:01
where it was last year. You can compare
11:03
your body today to where it was six
11:05
months ago you can compare your
11:07
knowledge to where you were six months ago. You
11:09
can compare your bank account to where you were
11:11
six months ago. So when you compare
11:14
The real question is when you compare after
11:16
you compare, do you feel good or do you
11:18
feel bad? K?
11:21
If you feel bad, you're probably comparing
11:23
yourself to other people, or
11:26
you're comparing yourself to where
11:28
you think you should be.
11:31
And the word should is a shame
11:33
word just so you know, you are shaming
11:35
yourself. You're shooting all over
11:37
yourself is what you're doing. Oh, I should be this. I
11:39
should be this. I should be this. No. Because if you
11:41
should be that, you would already be
11:43
that. And really, when we
11:45
compare, do we feel good?
11:48
Because we're comparing ourselves to other people, which we
11:50
can't do because we're not other people. We haven't had the
11:52
same life circumstances that they had.
11:54
And we can't or we can't compare ourselves where
11:56
we think we should be because that's completely
11:58
unrealistic. Really,
12:00
does comparison make you feel good?
12:02
Comparison usually brings on
12:04
the feeling of lack. I
12:06
don't have as much as they do. I'm
12:08
not as happy as they are. I'm not
12:10
as far as long as I should be.
12:12
And usually, that's what it'll bring
12:14
on lack but also what it tends to do is it tends to bring
12:16
on jealousy. And we get jealous of
12:18
other people. And lack in
12:20
jealousy are not
12:23
that's lacking in jealousy are not
12:25
magnetic energy. But
12:27
neither one of those are magnetic energies.
12:29
When I lack something, I'm not
12:31
attracting something to me. When I'm jealous of somebody
12:33
else, I'm not attracting that thing to
12:35
me. So by getting jealous and
12:37
by feeling the feeling of lack, you're
12:39
actually pushing away what it is
12:41
that you truly want. So
12:43
we need to learn when we look at somebody
12:45
and we wanna feel the feeling of like, damn
12:47
it. I wish I had that body. Damn it.
12:49
I wish I was on that trip. Damn
12:51
it. I wish that I was, you know,
12:53
driving that car damn it. I wish that I had that
12:55
business damn it. I wish that I had as much
12:57
money as they do. Instead of comparing
12:59
ourselves and feeling lack and feeling
13:01
jealousy because we're not where they are,
13:03
we can actually congratulate that person
13:05
and be like, you know what? Hell
13:07
yeah. Good for you.
13:09
You're doing well in life. And you know
13:11
what? If you start to congratulate people
13:13
in your mind out loud
13:16
to them in their face if you see them,
13:18
you will actually start to attract more of
13:20
what you want. It's a more magnetic energy.
13:22
Even if it's just by yourself and you
13:24
never say it directly to that person. Right?
13:27
I used to get jealous when I'd see people
13:29
with nice cars and see people with
13:31
nice houses and see people traveling the
13:33
world. And now when I see people, Even when I
13:35
see them on Instagram, I'm like, fuck yeah, man. Good for
13:37
you. Good for you for doing
13:39
that. That's awesome because I know that in order
13:41
to get to where they were, There was a lot
13:43
of stuff they had to get through. There was a lot of
13:45
things. A lot of crap that they had to go through to
13:47
get to where they are. Hell, yeah. Good for
13:49
you for achieving what you've achieved. You got a
13:51
freaking Lamborghini good for you, man. That's probably something
13:53
you've been wanting for a long time. How
13:55
awesome is that? So we have to learn to stay
13:57
in our own lane. Right? We have
13:59
to learn that you
14:01
have your own lane that you're in. I
14:03
remember that a few years
14:05
ago, I was doing, well, you know,
14:07
I was doing psychedelics. I'll say that. I won't
14:10
say any further. I won't say where I was, what I was doing,
14:12
any of that stuff. But I was on a psychedelic journey a few
14:14
years ago. And one of the things
14:16
that came very clear to me in this psychedelic
14:18
journey was, I am on my
14:20
own path. Like, I the
14:22
universe has made a lane
14:24
for Rob Dial and Rob Dial
14:26
only. I am the only one that can get
14:28
in this lane. I cannot get into anybody
14:30
else's lane. Anybody else cannot get into my
14:32
lane. I have my own lane I have a
14:34
journey that the universe or
14:36
god or life has designed for
14:38
me and I'm not in competition
14:40
with anybody. The universe made me my
14:42
own lane. I just need to follow
14:44
this lane. I just need to follow the path I'm
14:46
supposed to be going. Now I believe that
14:48
you, if you're listening to this, every single
14:50
person has their own lane as well. And so
14:52
if we're so focused on other
14:54
people's lane and where they
14:56
are, we're not gonna get to where we wanna
14:58
be. It's like that really famous picture like
15:00
five or six years ago when the
15:02
the Olympics were happening and Michael
15:04
Phelps was swimming. And he
15:06
ended up winning gold, but
15:08
they they took a picture. In one of the guys who
15:10
was swimming, he was right behind him, you can
15:12
see a mid stroke. He's actually
15:14
looking at Michael Phelps and he ended up
15:16
losing to Michael Phelps. He was so
15:19
focused on where Michael Phelps was that
15:21
he didn't put a hundred percent focus into where
15:23
he was and he ended up losing. And
15:25
so really what it comes down to is, like,
15:27
swimming your journey, staying in
15:29
your lane, staying on your path, and when you
15:31
see people succeeding, being like, man,
15:33
that's amazing. I can't wait till I get
15:35
there. That's amazing. Good for you. There's probably
15:37
a lot of things you had to go through to get there. I
15:39
believe that you have your own lane. You just
15:41
have to follow for you what feels
15:43
right. And then you have to realize that things
15:45
just take time. Like,
15:47
that's the one thing that I've realized that
15:49
as I get older, slow and
15:51
steady wins the race. That's
15:54
it, ma'am. Slowing steady wins a
15:56
race. MIGHT's putting one foot in front of
15:58
the other on my path that I'm supposed
16:00
to be going on. Did
16:02
I did I get one step further?
16:04
One step closer today? Did I get one
16:06
step closer today? Did I get one step
16:08
closer today? And I realized that this just things
16:10
take time. Like, I wanted to be so
16:12
successful when I was so young. And
16:14
as I get older, I'm just like, things are gonna
16:16
happen as things are supposed to happen. And
16:18
I don't know about you, but when I start going through
16:20
that mental thought
16:22
process, the whole feeling of my body is
16:24
just like, okay,
16:26
I don't have to be so uptight, I don't be so
16:28
focused. And so why should why am I not there? I
16:30
should be further, and it's just such
16:32
a restrictive energy. You know, and I
16:34
used to see people that there were millions like, why
16:36
don't I have that? It's just like, you know, over the
16:38
past few years and I got to places that I wanted to
16:40
be and doing things that I wanted to do. I just
16:42
realized, It just I wasn't there yet.
16:44
Time wasn't things take time
16:46
and my time had not come
16:48
to to be that time yet.
16:50
And so when you see people,
16:53
that have something that you have, a lot of times
16:55
they might be fifteen to twenty years further than
16:57
you. Right? You
16:59
still have life stuff so many things you can be
17:01
grateful for. And with your goals, you just
17:03
have to realize they only take three things. They
17:05
take direction, they take action, and they
17:07
take time. Are you heading in the right
17:09
direction to achieve your goals? Is is, you know,
17:11
is what you're doing right now taking you closer
17:14
to or further away from your goals.
17:16
So are we heading in the right direction?
17:18
Okay. If we are, then
17:20
each day, am I taking the right action
17:22
to start to get there? Am I putting am
17:24
I one step closer to
17:26
my goal that I've been trying to work
17:29
for? Am I heading in the right direction? Yes. Am I taking
17:31
the right action? One step, one
17:33
step, one step, and just getting one percent
17:35
better every single day? And
17:37
then Time. Time is going to
17:39
work itself out the way that's supposed to work itself
17:41
out. If you think about how crazy would it be
17:43
to go to the gym, you know,
17:45
and and leave the gym and be like, look down and be like, what the hell?
17:47
I don't have a six pack yet. We would all be like,
17:49
that's wild. Nobody would ever think that.
17:52
Do we think that for everything else in our life? We think that in our bank account, in
17:54
our relationships, in our businesses, all of that stuff. We
17:56
need to make sure we're heading in the right direction. We need
17:58
to make sure we're taking the right action, and we just
18:00
need to let time itself out. So
18:03
what you have to do is realize
18:05
that you're running your own race, you're in your own
18:07
lane, and you've gotta stop comparing yourself,
18:09
and you've gotta stop being jealous, and you've
18:11
got to start congratulating. So
18:13
that's what I got for you for this
18:15
episode. If you love this episode, please share it on your

18:28
your kids, whatever it is. I'd love to see you guys do that.
18:30

18:33

18:35
grow and more people be able to find it who I've never listened
18:37
to before. And with
18:39
that, I'm gonna leave the same way of every single episode.

18:43
better. I appreciate you. And I hope that you have amazing
18:46
day.
