0:00.0	This is the sports motivation podcast. It's your host, Nis Showbo. All right. Now listen,
0:08.0	you know that in life, especially in this jungle life, versus the zoo life. And let me explain
0:16.1	before I go on, just for those of you who might not understand. The jungle is a metaphorical place, of course,
0:23.5	but it's the place where we, as what I like to call killers, we decide what we want and we go
0:30.0	about creating the lifestyle that we want. The zoo, this is a place where we accept what we've
0:37.1	been giving.
0:38.3	This is also a metaphorical place.
0:41.3	All right. So there are people in life, for example, who do not go after what they want.

1:18.4	and comfort. Everyone loves safety and comfort. It's just that they value their freedom a lot more.
1:27.1	They value control a lot more. So instead of someone controlling their life for them,
1:32.8	they'd rather control elements of their life. Now, there's a downside to this, or I should say
1:37.2	there's a price that comes along with this being in the jungle. So those of you who listen to me, most likely you consider yourself jungle or you're in the process of liberating yourself from the zoo.
1:53.1	Again, we're talking metaphorically here.
1:57.9	But either lifestyle you live, whether it's jungle or zoo, you are going to experience hard times, difficult times.
2:09.0	This could be times where you're going through, you know, you got a tough injury.
