You want to be a door mat?
You want to be broke?
You want people to not respect you?
Why?
Oh because you want people to like you?
Ignore that shit.
Who cares?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheepgid Sheared podcast.
I'm your host Austin Creed, my friends.
Today is going to be a humbling episode for a number of reasons.
Number one, it's never easy for a guy to admit that he needs help.
At least it's not easy for me.
And number two, I want to say straight out the gate that a lot of people are not going
to be ready for this conversation.
You might think that you are, but you're not.
A lot of people, they want to take the easy route.
And I don't blame you if you want to take the easy route, but this is advanced level
type of shit.
I'm no, no, how are you doing?
No, no, how's it going?
No, we're jumping right in.
Why?
Because this is very important.
And this is something that I've been on the front lines of for the last couple of weeks.
Gentlemen, we need to understand that pain is part of our lives.
And it's the fire that forges us into either the strongest metals.
Or we just fizzle out and we burn.
We burn like paper and we just it's gone.
What am I talking about?
Talking about pain.
Let me ask you something, my friends.
Let me ask you something.
This is going to be a very uncomfortable conversation, but we're going to have it.
How many of you are suffering in silence right now?
How many of you are unhappy with your life?
How many of you have felt like, oh, you know what?
Yeah.
I should be doing X, Y or Z, but I'm not.
How many of you have felt trapped in your own life?
How many of you felt like somebody else is driving the show, even though it's your life?
You feel powerless to change.
You feel powerless to get ahead.
You feel powerless to act.
You feel like things just happen to you.
Sound familiar?
Yeah, straight up.
You're not alone.
In fact, anytime we start something new, anytime we get comfortable in what we're currently
doing, anytime that we allow, we forsake growth or comfort, we sacrifice our success
or being a little comfortable, a little bit secure in what we're doing.
We're going to pick up cobwebs, proverbially cobwebs.
And this is going to make it difficult to transmute our pain and our suffering.
See, here's the problem.
Pain is not a problem.
I want to get that out the gate right now.
And if you're living your life right now to avoid pain, you are a weak sack of shit.
Yes, you heard me right.
You are a weak sack of shit.
Weak, pathetic, if you are avoiding pain.
Now, I'm not telling you you should be a masochist and derive enormous amounts of pleasure from
your pain, not what I'm saying.
If you are willing more power to you, but that's not the point.
The point is that if you are not willing to take it on the chin, if you don't want to
go out there and fight a good fight, if you're not willing to go out there and be on the
front lines of the battle for your life, for the causes you care about, then you are weak.
And your ancestors are rolling over in their graves and they're sick of your disgusting
behavior.
I'm on your ass today.
I'm not letting you get away with this shit no more.
Why?
Because I hold myself to that standard too.
I hold myself to that standard.
I don't not going to sit here and tell you to do something I'm not doing.
I'm not here to get a check and laugh all the way to a Swiss bank.
No.
I'm sick of people pretending life is so hard and it should be easy.
Never has life been easy, not for one goddamn second.
Never.
It's not supposed to be easy.
It's not supposed to be painful.
It's supposed to be hard.
It's anything that's worth doing to risk pain and it'll be hard.
Period in the story.
You're doing something easy.
You're weak.
You're doing something that's, oh, I don't know.
It's not hard, but it's not easy.
I'm kind of just on the lazy river.
You're weak.
And guys, let's be real here.
You want the fine ass chicks, right?
I'm not saying you got to marry him.
No, I'm saying you want the fine ass chicks.
You want the money, right?
You want the peace.
You want the quiet.
You want the freedom that comes at a cost.
It's not free.
Not free.
One of the things I learned in the military is that freedom ain't free.
Oh yeah.
I know people got bumper stickers of like, yeah, man, freedom ain't free.
Do not diminish the importance of that statement.
Gentlemen, I'll be real with you.
I don't enjoy pain, but I'm learning to see it as not a problem, but as a productivity
producer.
If you look at some of the most beautiful paintings in the world, you look at some of
the best music by some of the greatest composers of our time.
Mozart, Beethoven, artists such as Michelangelo, such as Da Vinci.
Do you think those men were happy?
Do you think that they didn't have pain?
They felt excruciating inner pain.
Do you ever listen to Mozart's Requiem?
You haven't.
I don't know you.
You are the reason why the world's going down the pipes if you don't even know about
classical music.
You know, I know men who are older.
They're in their millennials, Gen X, boomers, silent generation, even that are still alive.
They despise people under 30.
Why?
Because they see them as weak, uneducated, stupid, and very malleable.
And you know what?
I can't sit there and tell them that they're wrong.
They're wrong about me.
They're like actively, you know, my friends, I'll be honest with you about something.
You know what I've been listening to recently that I never in a million years that I will
listen to?
I've been listening to the audiobook of Mein Kampf written by good old A.H.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, I've been listening to it.
And you know what was interesting?
Some of the guy's points was honestly, I found myself agreeing with some of the stuff he
said.
Now, not the part about the international jewelry, you know, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
That shit is where I'm like, where do you come up with this stuff?
That's like me saying that, oh, there are a lot of people who are African American who
play in sports.
There must be a mafia going on.
It's like, what?
But besides the point, the point I'm trying to tell you is this.
We need to stop just teaching people to not think for themselves, to not distinguish between
what is just an emotional response and logic.
We must teach people to be free thinkers.
Free thinkers are the most educated and least likely people to be exploited.
You think I like what he said, what I'm listening to this audiobook?
You think I enjoy what he says about Jews?
Hell no, I think it's disgusting.
But guess what?
I'm still listening to it.
Why?
Because there's something to be gained by listening to the words of somebody who impacted
the world in such a powerful way and got people behind him in large numbers.
You think I like Carl Marx?
No, his ideas have led to the deaths of millions of people.
Guess what?
I still listen to Das Kapital.
I still listen to the Communist Manifesto.
Why?
Because you must understand the world you live in and you must understand the opposition.
Period.
End of story.
It's not enough to just know, oh, this is not good.
That's what lemmings do.
You know what a lemming is?
A lemming is a rodent who would walk off a cliff if he saw another one of his kind walk
off a cliff.
Is that the kind of person you want to be?
Oh, I don't want, I don't like pain.
Oh, the other generations had it easier.
Oh, fuck they did.
No, they didn't.
They didn't have it easier.
They had it harder than you.
They didn't have Google.
They couldn't make a living producing content like this.
I thought it's easy, but it's far more easier than going to the factory seven days a week,
six days a week.
No healthcare, smoking, drinking straight, no West Coast and just straight going to the
factory, the plant, the post office.
You think this stuff is easy?
No, it's not.
Guess what?
You've fallen for the bait that everything is easy, that the pain is bad.
Pain is bad, work is bad.
You found all these things that, oh, going to the gym is white supremacy.
Oh, having a good looking body is misogynistic.
Oh, these things are, stop being a victim for God's sakes.
I want you to reach behind you.
You see this thing running up your neck, you know, from your back.
That's called your spine.
Use that shit.
Use it and stop being weak.
Stop being pathetic.
It's disgusting.
And trust me, it's going to hurt.
You think it's always going to feel good?
No.
Guess what?
It's like it goes back to the old adage of, oh, mine isn't by happiness.
Well, if I'm going to be unhappy, whether I'm rich or broke, I'm going to be unhappy,
whether I stand up for myself or I don't, I'm going to stand up for myself.
I'm going to be rich.
Why?
Because it's better than the alternative.
You want to be a doormat?
You want to be broke?
You want people to not respect you?
Why?
Oh, because you want people to like you?
Ignore that shit.
Who cares?
Who cares if people like you?
Who cares if you're going through life being admired by people like some schmuck who does
nothing?
Who cares if you are admired by people?
I care about being admired by men who are knowledgeable.
They're powerful.
They are educated.
They have actual gravitas to them.
And on all time, you political word, gravitas, authority.
They are real strong thinkers in their opinions.
Hold more weight.
Not just the average putts or schmuck in the street who thinks they know everything because
they read CNN or MSNBC on their news app.
They think they know what's going on.
They know nothing.
The same way that everybody who spends their life ignoring pain and pursuing pleasure are
some of the weakest people, the most unhappy people on the planet or the hedonists, the
pleasure seekers.
Go make that one.
Makes sense.
Do you want excitement or fulfillment, my friends?
Because that's the question right there.
Do you want to feel excitement or do you want to feel fulfilled in your life?
Do you want to look back and say, my God, I put in that work and I got results and I'm
proud of myself?
Hmm?
That's what you want?
Already want to be the guy at the club, watching girls shake their behinds, looking at the
guys up at the top who are in the VIP while you're simping down there on the floor.
Oh, you want me to get down and dirty with it?
Oh yeah, I'll go there.
Why?
Because you got to hear that shit.
You got to hear that you're nothing because you know your garbage, that you've achieved
something, you've done something.
And if you have, and I know some of you are working towards it and have achieved, you
get in that comment section and you let these men know that if you can't even afford a car
and you're out here trying to get bitches, you're stupid.
You out here, you don't got your own place like this and you're out there trying to get
bitches, you're stupid.
Go and experience some pain.
Get on Muck Mode for God's sakes.
Get on Muck Mode.
Step your game up.
You'll feel good.
You'll get out there and you'll start to feel like an actual man.
Instead of just another boy with his pants sagging under his behind or another punk in
the street who thinks that somebody owes him something.
They should steal it from guys like us who live in this community who work for a living.
You got to steal it from us instead of go to get a job you bum you and I'm sick of it.
Stop avoiding pain and start producing.
Start doing something.
My friends, I hope this encouraged you because I know somebody out here got to hear this.
You got to let a fire underneath your behind.
Get out there and do something.
Get out there and keep pushing.
Be like Sisyphus and keep pushing up, boulder up that cliff.
Even if it rolls back down every day, be like Sisyphus.
I might do a whole video on that now that I'm thinking about it.
We might do a whole show on Sisyphus and the myth of how Sisyphus kept pushing the boulder
up the hill and kept going back down and he kept at it.
It was a curse.
A lot of men, they do that every day and that's how you get successful in this life.
There are no shortcuts.
Stop looking for the shortcuts.
My friends, I think I've said enough for the night.
I think I got a point across.
Help light that spark to get you off your behind and get out there and get some electricity
back in that system.
Get the blood pumping.
Get your heart going.
Get out there and win the day one day at a time, one week at a time, a month at a time,
one year at a time.
That's how we'd be successful.
That is how you win.
My friends to care.
I'm out of here.
You let me know what you think, what your comments are.
I'd love to see him and you want to be a low life.
I think you're wrong.
You made me feel bad.
Go write the FCC.
Go get a therapist.
Go wine on X and leave me alone.
I'm out.
