This Is How We Do It: A Pep Talk

by Kevin Hart

Sometimes we’re bitching and complaining about shit we can’t fucking change. Make the best of those moments. Complete those moments. And after completing them, move on rather than sitting there and letting it fuck up your day. That’s my suggestion. Be like water: allow, adapt, and keep moving.

So, when you start feeling down, it’s because you know that you’re not doing what you’re supposed to do and applying yourself 100 percent in order to give yourself the best possible opportunity to be great.

You have to take responsibility for your bullshit. Your shit is your shit. Own up to it. It isn’t going to change or go anywhere until you do. It will keep affecting your life and holding you back until you decide to recognize it, admit to it, and correct it.

So whenever you find your mind leaning into the direction of giving up, you gotta get your brain back in the corner, give your mind a pep talk, throw some ice on your face, make sure you shake off any tiredness, and say, “Give me one more round.” And then next round, you better throw haymakers and knock that motherfucker out.
