Joe Rogan | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #403

feelings of failure. they're so hard, they're so hard to get through and they overwhelm people and some people can't get through them and then every time something new comes up, when you have to rise to the occasion, you have to perform, you think about That Time You Failed and you got your head up, man, you think I'm a loser, I can't do

this

, I'm going to fail, I'm going to get up, you know, like a blitz, how many times have you had a bad series and you? You're like, damn, I suck at comedy, I can't do

this

, I can't do this, I suck at comedy, that's it, I just suck and then you define yourself that way and you have to get over it, yeah man, luckily you never have really bad in a row, which is kind of interesting, well, you learn from that one and you like to bolt for the next show, yeah, yeah, maybe it triggers some senses in you.

Did you feel like you learned that from someone or not? I always have that kind of intuition when it comes to that kind of thing. I think I learned it from martial arts because they kick your ass and like you don't want to get your ass kicked again, you either stop fighting or you learn. how to get a lot better, you know, and then you get your ass kicked in training, which happens all the time, and you know you learn from those mistakes, you learn, you know maybe you're too stationary or maybe you telegraph too much or maybe.

You got tired and you haven't been doing your cardio like those failures that you have in martial arts are so important because they hurt you like they punish you physically and then you don't want that to happen again so you have to quit or improve a lot. I like that and that's great for a a lot of my listeners a lot of guys you know or you just know a lot of guys um just trying to move on in their lives yeah with everyone and my listeners your listeners anyone who's listening to anything just people out there yeah, that's why there are so many self-help books, that's why there are so many motivational documentaries and motivational Instagram pages, because people need things like that, they need something and generally the best version comes from someone who has experienced ups and downs and has overcome, yes, you know, yes.

I appreciate it man, you know you're like some kind of library. I was thinking about the other one the other day in a strange way. You are like a kind of library. You know, that's interesting. How am I? because you just have all this information coming through you and you can like, you're almost like a cleaner at the dry cleaners, if you ask a question, it goes and gets the information and brings it to the front, you know, and it's kind of wrapped up. it's great, it's a fun way, it's a good skill man because I was even listening to an old episode of ours and there was similar information and tips and guidance that you shared with me that still resonate with me today, so it's just great, great, you know , so thank you so much brother, I appreciate your time, I appreciate you, yeah, okay man, oh, but when I get to that ground I'll share this peace of mind, I can feel it.
