YouTube, what it do man, it's your boy Josh. We back up in this thing with another one. We woke up this morning, it's another beautiful day. All praise to the most high man, let's get it man. Restart, start a new chapter in your life and get back on it. Whatever you do, don't stop. Don't let that moment of weakness, don't let that mistake, don't let what's happened in the past affect your future. Don't allow something that you were supposed to learn from and supposed to grow from, don't allow that to defeat you. Don't allow losing one day to stop you from playing ever again, which will inevitably lead to you not winning. Start a new chapter, brush yourself off, get yourself right, take a deep breath, do whatever you got to do to just get back into the game bro. I'm going to let you know right now, there is no perfect being on this Earth. I'm not perfect and you're not perfect, so what I'm saying is going to apply to every single person on the face of this

Planet Dog. There will be times where you're going to take lse. There will be times where it's not going to go your way. There will be times where you just don't do what you said you was going to do. There are going to be times. Don't let nobody try to tell you that, Oh bro, you slacking off, bro, you weak or something like that. No, you human, bro. You are what you are. Now I'm saying that not for you to just go ahead and let that mistake or let that mishap be an excuse for you not wanting to try or, Oh, I'm only human, I don't got to try no more, and I'm only human, I'm just going to accept this mistake. No, I'm telling you that when it comes to these, you know, or when it comes to this journey, when we start experiencing things where we may not be striving in the right direction, where we have a moment of weakness or detour or something like that, I'm not saying that, Oh, you just supposed to accept it and

let it be the end all be or let that be an excuse as for you to allow yourself to continue to let those mistakes happen. No, I'm telling you the mistakes are going to happen. The mistakes are inevitable. And I'm telling you your journey and your trajectory is based on how you simply respond to those respect, respond to those mistakes or those mishaps or those obstacles or those things that just you could not possibly avoid. The idea is for us to experience those things, for us to also not just experience it, but expect to experience it. Expect that it's eventually going to come, that you may have a streak of staying disciplined and staying committed. That may come to an end. That streak may come to an end one day where you just fall off or you just don't have it in you that day. It's going to happen. It's normal. But what's going to separate you from your previous self to that new best version of yourself, of who you're trying to be, is simply by how you respond to

it. I don't want you sitting there like, Man, I fell off, man. I can't do it. I have no hope, bro. No, expect that that's going to happen. Can you bounce back? Bouncing back is also depicted or a reflection of how disciplined you are. Bouncing back shows you how resilient you are. Strong people and strong minds are also resilient minds and resilient people. It's not... I know y'all heard about that quote: It's not about how hard you can hit, but it's about how hard you can get hit and then keep standing up. You get hit, you want to say, Man, that hit was too hard. I don't want to play no more. Take me out the game, coach. I don't want... This ain't for me no more. This ain't my sport. This ain't my fight. And you just want to give up. You want to use that knockdown. You want to use that situation that happened to you as an excuse for you to quit. Expect to get hit. Expect to get

knocked down. It's going to happen. You're human. You will never be perfect. You will never be a person that will be able to dodge all the hits, to dodge all the obstacles, to dodge all the setbacks, to dodge all the things that the devil is throwing to you. Sometimes God's going to let the devil get to you. He's going to let you fail, and he's gonna let you experience those moments of weaknesses so that not only you can quit, but so you can reflect, and you can just keep getting back up, so your skin can callous, so your body can harden, so your skin can hard, so your spirit can take more. God is allowing you to get hit to show, Man, okay, man, what I got destined for him, he got to be stronger than what he is right now. Let me see if he can take a punch. Let me see if he can take a setback. Let me see how he can respond to turmoil. Let me see how he can respond to failure because if you scared to get hit.

you scared to get failure. You scared meaning you don't want to risk no more. You don't want to be in the game no more. Then you won't succeed because that's what comes with this, bro. That's what comes with success, is also the risk that's associated with it. You can't always win. You can't always have it your way. You can't bet a thousand every time, bro. It's about how you respond, dog. It's about how you can get yourself back up and start anew. How you won't let that failure, you won't let that situation that happened, define or dictate where you're going and when you're destined to be. When do I look like letting something that happened back in '17, back in '18, stop me from doing something that I want to do in '24, do in '25? '17, '18 is in the books and it's on the shelf, and you can't change nothing about it. So therefore, you shouldn't be focused on it. Also known as what's in the past. Let

it be in the past. You're going to make mistakes, bro. Scribble it down, take the note, learn from it, 'cause that's what life is all about. It's all about learning and not repeating the same mistakes. Don't, okay? I learned that mistake. You learn, you go through failures, and you go through situations where you may not be at your best so you can learn about yourself, so you can learn the triggers and learning the things. Oh, I made that move, I did that, and this what ended up happening. Don't repeat that, okay? I got it. Let's get back together. Let me go ahead, brush myself off. That J can't hold me down. I'm Josh ho. I'm him. I'm doing this. I'm doing that. This can't hold me. I got too much to live for. I got something that's too... I got too many people depending on me. What I look like, something that's back in 2017, 2018, affect who I am today, bro. That's the same. I say 2017, 2018, but

Same goes for yesterday. Just yesterday, yesterday I made a mistake. Yesterday I wasn't on it. Yesterday I did not do what I was supposed to do. Why would I focus about changing it? Because I'mma go ahead and tell there I can't change yesterday. The only thing I can do is learn from it. The only thing I can do is bounce back from it. I can't. I'm not going to sit there and be like, Oh yesterday I fell off, so I guess there's just no hope. I just, I'm going to quit. I'm not going to try again because I failed and I'm going to end up probably failing again, so let me just go ahead and use that as an excuse for me to stay comfortable, to stay ordinary, to stay in the current version of who I am instead of me focusing and imagining myself of where I can be in the future and understanding that this is going to happen. I'm not going to be perfect, so therefore I shouldn't have to expect myself to perform.

perfectly okay. I did this, I did that, that led to this. Okay, I'm not going to do that again. I'mma stay away from there because when I went that way and I was start and I started being around the these people that was doing this and doing that. I started live being around a situation where the standards were lower than what the standards I have to myself and I started letting that affect me and I let started let. So I decided to lower my standards and do something that I said I wasn't going to do no more, doing some doing some some behaviors and some characteristics that I said I wasn't going to partake in no more. And now here I am, past the fact, here I am, put I'm like man, that was an emotional decision. I let my feelings dictate where I should be going. Okay, I learned from that. I know what I got to do next time. I'mma be better when I'm faced with that scenario again and when I'm better and when I when I when I

analyze and realize and I don't lower my I'm said okay I lowered my standard yesterday but I'mma keep it back up I'm going to go ahead because why because I'm more focused on my future and I'm more focused on my goals because I do believe that I can achieve those things yeah okay so what I had a day where it wasn't I I was I I took a step back okay yes so wait it was a day where it may have been wasted but thankful for that I'm so thankful for that day I'm so thankful that for that weakness because it's keeping me humble it's keeping me in a in a headspace where it's just like man don't get too cocky don't underestimate that you human bro yeah you may keep you may have these hot streaks but you going to have them cold streaks every once in a while and when you have them cold streaks are you going to let it sway your confidence you going to let it sway what you

capable of you going to let it sway what you think of yourself. You going to let it define you? I don't think so. I don't think so. No, I'm still Josh ho. I still know what I'm capable of. I just need to tell myself that I'm not going to have moments where I'm just not going to be perfect, where I'm not going to be the person who I thought I was going to be or the person who I'm proud of being. But you know what? That don't have to define me. That doesn't have to have any sort of say of how I spend today and how I spend tomorrow and how I spend the next day and how will I spend next year. I can't control what I did yesterday, but I can learn from it, and I can go ahead and start afresh, start a new start over, step into a new chapter, learn from it, 'cause yesterday I learned, and if I learned, then I grew. I may have took a step back, but all actuality, I took a

step forward because I, because even though I may have, you know what I'm saying, been at a moment of weakness, I learned something about myself. Therefore, I got better. Therefore, I'm more wiser. I know what to do and what not to do, okay? So, in all actuality, I really didn't take an L. I'm letting that situation fuel me. I'm letting that situation ignite a fire that I'm like, okay, I thought, I thought, I thought it, it wasn't what I thought it was. I started getting too cocky. I started thinking I was the stuff. I started thinking, you know what I'm saying, nothing couldn't touch me, okay? I'm human. Let's get back, back to it. Let's get back on it. Our dreams and our things that we imagine ourselves to being, I'm tired of them still being dreams, okay? Cool, let's go ahead and put the work in. Don't let one day, don't let one moment, don't let one season dictate your entire

life get back up. Let's start a fresh new season. Let's get back on it, bro. Let's keep that standard high. Let's actually heighten it up a little bit more. Let's realize that, hey man, we got that out of our system, okay? Let's go. We got some more work to do, a team, whenever a team. You know what I'm saying? Let's say your football team lost this week. You know what them boys are doing? They said, Man, we was on that three-game winning streak, but we just took an L. I guess we really wasn't who we thought it was. Okay, okay, cool. We ain't going to give up on the rest of the season, no, because there's still more games to be played. There's still more practices to be healed. There's still an opportunity to get better. I say at the beginning of my videos, We woke up this morning. It's another beautiful day. All praise to the Most High, also meaning like All praise to the Most High. Yesterday, what we experienced didn't

kill us, we still here. Therefore, we got an opportunity to still reach whatever we said we was going to reach. We still in this thing, bro. Don't let that L be an excuse for you to not put that work in today. You took a L yesterday, okay? It's time for you to learn from it. It's time for you to be resilient. It's time for you to take that hit and get back up and keep moving [Music] forward. That's all I got to say for y'all boys, man. You human at the end of the day. Expect those situations where you going. Expect those obstacles to knock you down. Expect it. I Want You To Get Hype that man. I can't wait for that adversity to hit 'cause I'mma stand right back up. I'mma show myself that can't nothing hold me back. Show me how badly you want it, bro. Show yourself how badly you want it. I want it so bad that you can punch me in my mouth a 100 times and I'm still going.

to keep standing. I'm still going to keep marching, and I'm still going to keep moving forward because I really want it that bad. Or do you only really want it bad enough to the point where you can just have it easy, where you just go through it and not to have nobody knock you off your path? You ain't want it bad enough if whenever you're faced with adversity or whenever you're faced with failures and you can't respond back to it, hit it back. Don't let it make you turn, don't let it make you weak, and don't let it make you feel less than. Stand up to it, take it on the chin, and keep moving, dog. That'll show, that'll tell you a lot about a man, tell you a lot about yourself too. How you respond to your failures, how you respond to your setbacks is really what's going to prove to you whether or not you're worthy of actually becoming that version that you really want to become. So like I said, man, expect it to

come don't be surprised by it. Expect it, take it, get back up, and keep on moving. So, that's all I got for y'all boys, man.

Josh Holt

Josh emphasizes the importance of restarting and not letting past mistakes define the future.

He encourages embracing adversity, learning from failures, and being resilient in the face of challenges.

The message is clear: keep pushing forward, take risks, and don't let the past hold you back from achieving your goals.

Mistakes and setbacks are a natural part of life, and it's important to recognize that everyone experiences them.

Instead of using mistakes as an excuse to give up, it's crucial to focus on how you respond and get back on track.

Embracing the opportunity to learn and grow from these experiences can lead to personal development and a stronger commitment to your goals.

The Importance of Resilience and Bouncing Back

Bouncing back from setbacks is a reflection of discipline and resilience.

Strong minds and people are defined by their ability to stand up after being knocked down.

How you respond to failures and adversity determines your worthiness of becoming the person you want to be.

Learning from Mistakes and Moving Forward

The speaker reflects on their past mistakes and emphasizes the importance of learning from them.

They reject the idea of quitting or staying comfortable due to failures, instead focusing on personal growth and resilience.

The message is clear: mistakes are a part of life, and the key is to learn from them and not repeat them.

Setbacks are a natural part of life, and they can be powerful teachers.

Instead of letting failures define us, we can use them as fuel to grow stronger and wiser.

It's important to learn from our experiences, reflect, and keep moving forward towards our dreams.

Expect setbacks and use them as learning experiences to stay humble and focused on your goals.

Lowering your standards temporarily can lead to negative behaviors, but recognizing this pattern helps in making better decisions in the future.

Stay committed to your goals and seek support through consultations and training programs if needed.
