You can think your way into stress, you can think your way into misery, frustration. But if you change your mind, it'll change your life. If you're thinking about quitting, you're thinking about giving up, this is for you.
Don't give up. Don't give up. Stay in it.
Stay focused. If it feels kind of dark all around you right now, I want to remind you, it is always the darkest before dawn. And dawn is coming.
There will be times when you will feel alone and you will feel deserted, when you feel weak and you doubt yourself and other people are doubt you and you ask yourself, am I crazy? People are going to think you're crazy. And sometimes you're going to think you're crazy.
You're going to question yourself. It's hard to pick yourself up when you experience setbacks and people don't see the vision and no one else believes in you. And I had people laughing at me.
"Les, you're talking about" "being a motivational speaker? " "And you are going to become" "independently wealthy. " "Right.
" They laughed. They're going to laugh at you. People are going to laugh at you.
But we all have a choice. The choice is you can let the outside noise affect you or drive you. What's it gonna be?
But let me tell you, I believe in revenge like Frank Sinatra. He said, the best revenge is massive success. It's all in the mind.
Change your mind and it will change your life. You just have to wake up. You just have to break that negative spirit.
You have to break through. You must have faith. You've got to believe in yourself.
You've got to believe in your abilities. You've got to believe in your service, your company, your ideas. Unquestionably.
You do what it is you're supposed to. You're supposed to build something, you're supposed to create something, "I don't know how to do it. " Learn.
Do whatever is required. Just go out there. It's possible you can get what you want.
It's necessary, if you want it, you gotta go into action. You gotta be willing to experiment. You gotta be willing to fail and to succeed.
It's you, it's on you, you gotta make that happen. Nobody's gonna bring it to you on a silver platter and say, here's your dream manifested. No, it's hard.
It's difficult. And it's worth it. You can't win it if you can't see it.
The vision. You got to see yourself winning in practice. You got to see yourself winning the game.
Then the championship, you got to see yourself. Then the playoffs, you got to see yourself. Wake up every single day.
I was here before I was here. I was up this morning here. I've been here before.
I was in this spot right here. I was talking from right here. I envisioned it.
I saw it already. You gotta see it before it happens. Every day you wake up, you've got to start with that vision.
Like, it's clear to you. Like, you know exactly what you want. You know exactly what it tastes like.
You know what it look like. You know what it smells like. Like, you literally have it in the palm of your hand without having it.
Expand your mind. Expand yourself. Take yourself out your comfort zone.
I need you to dream your way out of the hood. I need you to see yourself in Bermuda. I need you to see yourself in Dubai.
You ain't trying to impress people. You don't care what people think. Deep down in your soul, you see yourself living your best life.
You've got to see yourself doing it. You've got to feel yourself doing it. You've got to actually walk in it.
You've got to go in the future, live it out, come back in the present, and start working toward it. Once the mind is stretched and it's going to be hard to stretch it, but once it's stretched, it can never go back to its original dimension. Stretch it for me.
Stretch it for me, every day. Stretch it for me. Every day.
Stretch it for me. Expand it. Trust yourself.
Believe in yourself enough to stretch it. It's your dream. It don't belong to nobody else.
You take ownership of it. It ain't nobody else's, don't nobody owe you nothing. Ain't nobody supposed to give you nothing.
It's yours. By any means necessary. You take it.
You conquer. You are a warrior. You conquer.
You make it happen. And the problem with some of y'all is you want somebody else to support your dream. It's yours.
It's your dream. If you want it to happen, get your butt up and make it happen. If you want it to happen, rise and grind.
Ain't nobody gotta believe in you. Ain't nobody gotta talk about you. When you in the dark, working every single day, you reap what you sow.
And at some point, you're going to be great. You have to eat the dream. You have to sleep the dream.
You have to dream the dream. You have to see it when nobody else sees it. You have to feel it when it's not tangible.
You have to believe it when you cannot see it. You've got to be possessed with the dream. And every single day, you've got to wake up and put forth effort.
Start working and developing yourself now and prepare yourself for what it is that you want, because you expect to get it. I wake up every day and I expect it. I expect to win.
I expect it to be a great day. If you can wake up feeling like a winner, if you can wake up talking like a winner, if you can wake up acting like a winner, if you can expect that everything you do will come out winning, I guarantee you, you can get it done.
