you see it comes a time in every individual's life when they have to change their mindset they got to change their work ethic and what I want to talk to you ladies and gentlemen today is the topic of the 4 a. m. mentality you see when I was in the shelter homeless I realize the only way that I can make it in this life is if I get up and work while they [Music] play grind while they complain and then I heard a whisper it was a whisper for some of the greatest voices I've ever so it started off 4:00 in the morning I work out twice before everyone wakes up yeah sometime a Fell's will is stronger than the man who's actually better physically and the determination weakens the other man just to see him so child when I get to a point where I feel I can't improve as a player I walk away from the game what you do now and what you decide now at this age May well determine which way your life shall go you see life's a journey and sometimes we got to get up before the sun to make it happen I ain't no fancy speaker or nothing but I've been around the block and I've learned a thing or two about making a commitment to myself you ever heard that quote the early bird catches the word yeah it might sound cliche but there's truth in these words it's about getting ahead of the game being one step ahead of your own doubts and fears yeah you see I grew up in these streets I didn't have much of anything but I learned that to make a change in life you got to start with you you got to start today start getting up at 4:00 a.
m. and prove them haters [Music] wrong it's quiet the world hasn't woken up yet and that's your time ain't no distractions no noise just you you and your thoughts it's the perfect time to set goals make plans and remind yourself of what you're fighting for you see the only thing standing between you and your goal is the story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it think about that sometimes we in our own way sometimes we allow our enemies to stop us from going after everything we want in this life we let our childhood traumas take us away from who we truly supposed to be but not today today we going to wake up while they sleep today we're going to reach for the dreams where they said we couldn't reach them today we're going to climb a bigger mountain and we're going to do it all time 4:00 a. m.
in the morning baby that's when the Sharks hit the [Music] ocean that's when the wolves climb the mountain that's when greatness screams to the world give me more give me more opposition give me more pain because that's the stuff that turns us into Champions you see when Michael Jordan used to step out on that Court he never thought about how long the game would last he only thought about it feel we but he was up grinding early in the morning before the competition ented the gym and that's what it's going to take for you to develop this 4M mentality for you to turn yourself into a giant and you'll know when you're a giant because when a giant stands all he can see is more diant develop it take it in make it a part of your DNA [Music] 4 a. m.
