outcome right from the beginning if you can't get up and get after it how do you expect to win if you can't get up and get after it how do you expect to go to another level if you can't get up and get after it how do you expect to raise the championship Banner on your life it's time for you to change your perception because the reality is you gotta put something in to get something out you're going to have those bad days but keep on grinding you're going to want to quit but keep on
grinding ladies and gentlemen this is a very important part of your life it is a decision that you have to make within yourself no one is responsible for that when pressure begins to build called life because life is going to bring you ups and downs and mountains and valleys and I'm sure some of you in here your back story is full of ups and downs and good days and bad days I bet some of you in here your backstory is full of a lot more difficulties and some traumas and some things it's hard for others
to comprehend see pressure they can create diamonds or it can bust a pipe press is not the problem listen to be honest man your life what you faced in 2020 and 2021 and what some of you have experienced the last several years in your life it's not going to be the most difficult thing that you probably have ever had to face maybe for some of you it's been extremely painful maybe you've lost someone Close to You of a trauma or an abuse or something really painful has happened but for most of us 2020 and 2021
won't be the most difficult thing that you've ever faced in your life life is about these ups and these downs and it's about pressure and insecurities and just challenges the challenge for you and me is what will we do with the pressure that we're in will we allow the pressure to bust the pipe or will we step into uncomfortable step into our story and to realize the pressure the challenge the difficult situation if I grab a hold of it and take control of what I can control which is me and my reaction and how I
respond that pressure can become something valuable like a diamond because there's a lot of characteristics and behaviors and habits that we developed it's not that we set out and we began to have negative thought patterns and we didn't set out to have negative habits a lot of times we're around certain people and by influence by the exposure by the ability of us to begin close to people we sometimes just pick up Tendencies I'm sure some of you got some friends that say certain phrases or they talk a certain type of way and next thing you
know you're kind of saying the same phrase you're kind of saying the kinds of a tendency and maybe even your mom or your dad like you sound just like so and so right because we catch up and we catch things from each other and so for me what I caught from my dad when I was a kid it was his coping mechanisms you know like I always say it was the fake face it was a fake smile it was acting like everything's good on the surface but when I was alone and I was looking in
the mirror man I was struggling but I was silent I was screaming but I was quiet the truth of the matter is I got to a place even though I was in prison I wasn't going to wait till tomorrow or next semester or next year or whenever I got released to begin my change right now in the middle of my external uncomfortability I was gonna make a stand and I realized hard work Works make good choices good things happen there's never a wrong time to do what's right hard work and good choices will always create
opportunities for your dreams your plans the things you've thrown against the law to begin to be activated I was in prison my external situation seemed pretty difficult it was uncomfortable but in the moment I was saying active of talking and communicating and making choices and hard work and good choices will create opportunities in the middle of your chaos in the middle of your storm for me I didn't serve 15 years because I would still be incarcerated until 2024. I've actually been released and been walking and living life and doing this since 2013. see I got
released 11 and a half years early what happened is I Found the courage in the middle of an uncomfortable situation in a storm that seemed hopeless to be honest to not be afraid to face the thing that I was the most afraid of which was me because I promise you transparency and accountability using the people around you but then also realizing that we've got skin in the game which is called action which is called choices and doing our best to the next right thing and treat people the way that we want to be treated doors
and opportunities will always open in the middle of your storm and I care what you have to say and I care what your experiences have been and I care about your journey don't lose the ability to know that you you are a critical thinker you have the ability to process to think to rationalize to hear data and to make conclusions it's inside of you don't settle for anything less than real and authentic you want to go somewhere you've never gone you got to do something you've never done you got to say something you never said
you got to go to a place in you that you've never even been you're not sentenced to this life this way you chose it I feel like on this side of covert like I've tried to even hit a different gear because one thing that I've realized over the last several years in my life things that I take for granted can be taken from me and so now any moment that I get a chance just to kind of lecture or to communicate or to challenge somebody to maybe do what I long for people to do for
me to do not even you but for me to even be and that's to live a life or I wake up and I look in the mirror and I am determined to confront myself I'm determined to have conflict resolution inside of myself when I'm open and I'm honest with my behaviors and how I'm operating and what I'm doing with my time and my energy and my focus see let me share something with you the easiest thing I've ever done was to earn a million dollars the most difficult thing I've ever done was to believe it
could happen to me we all want to do something we all want to be somebody we all want to go somewhere if these things are going to happen we've got to stop habitually gravitating to excuse you've got a destiny to fulfill you've got a purpose to walk into you've got to test to pass you've got dots to connect rooms to walk in stages to stand on and tables to sit down at that you got to put a new mind in you you got to get out of your mind you got to begin to restructure your
thinking I'm ready to do this for my family I'm ready to do this for my mother I'm ready to win for my father I'm ready to make history and ready to do something that nobody ever thought I could do and we mistake the fact that we're supposed to be comfortable 24 7. well let me tell you something comfortable is equivalent to complacent it's not always accomplish about the essence I choose not to be a common man it's my right to be uncommon if I can I seek opportunity not security I want to take the calculated
risk to dream and to build to fail and to succeed I refuse to live from hand to mouth I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence but thrill of fulfillment to the stale Karma Utopia I will never call her before any Master nor been to any threat it's my Heritage to stand direct traveling I'm afraid to face the world boldly and say this I have done who doubt you I'm worried when you doubt you because when you doubt you you can't get nothing done when you doubt you every little thing that gets in
your way turns you back when you doubt you all of a sudden things just seem to be harder but out of everybody who doubts you you can't doubt you you got to believe in you you got to believe in your ability you got to believe that you can win we get one opportunity to come this way we get one shot we got One Life to Live life is too short to make excuses so I just came to talk to the game changers into the change agents who are willing to confront any part of you that's
not speaking to your madly wildly amazing future when somebody is in love with who they've been called to become what they've been called to fulfill what they've been destined to do there is no day off I'm telling you don't wait another moment don't wait another day Don't Wait Another Minute it's lonely it's challenging it requires discipline it requires perseverance it's a mindset it's not over until I win people that make excuses are not connected to their destination they don't have an end game they don't have a goal you have allowed yourself to become a weak
link cover under the blanket of excuses but I'm just wondering if there's anybody here that has a dream I am ready come on come on I am ready come on let me hear you I am ready one more time I am ready [Music] consider this your wake-up call what most people fail to realize is that pain is inevitable and it is unavoidable there is no path in life without pain whatever it is that you're going after whoever it is that you've been destined to become you cannot have it you will not become it without pain
you will face challenges and difficulties and Giants regardless if you are single if you are married if you are a stay-at-home mom a stay-at-home father if you are an entrepreneur if you're working a nine to five if you're an educator if you are an athlete if you are a musician a singer a producer it doesn't matter who you are what you are doing pain is inevitable if I'm gonna hurt like this if I'm gonna bleed like this if I'm gonna cry like this let me cry because I'm in the best shape of my life let
me cry because I'm conditioned to weather the uphill War let me cry because I'm building my relationship I'm building my business I'm building my legacy let me cry because it hurt but there is a reward on the other end of my pain Let Me Cry tears because I passed the test because I gave it everything I had choose your heart everything in life comes with hardship make a decision at some juncture you will encounter pain and the moment that you get acquainted with pain you get acquainted with hardship you realize that no matter what you
do no matter how much you study no matter how much you plan you will not be able to avoid a measure of pain I don't care what it is losing weight I don't care what it is a new eating paradigm a new relationship Paradigm new thoughts new behaviors it doesn't matter what you're after what you're looking to become if you don't go to the gym it's gonna hurt you if you go to the gym it's gonna hurt you your muscles are gonna tear but on the other side of that pain there is a reward there
isn't any regrets you won't regret taking care of your body on the other side of making those healthy decisions there is a reward discipline it's the reward of longevity it's the reward of influence it's the reward of power do you want results do you want a reward or do you want regrets the decision is yours foreign so choose your heart pain is inevitable and it is unavoidable pick your pain [Music] Everybody's Got A Plan until life knocks them out because we weren't ready for the pain and when the pain came we did not process it
processing pain is a skill set you gotta acquire it's a type of currency if you want the future if you want Next Level if you want tomorrow if you want to manifest if you want this thing I don't care what it is then you're gonna have to get acquainted with pain the pain faith of discipline the pain of growth the pain of learning the pain of giving the pain of forgiving it all hurts so pick your pain choose your heart because at some jokester in life some Corner you're going to turn you are going to
encounter pain and you've got to process that pain well hear me what I say it pain is unavoidable it's hard to let go of the past it's hard to give sometimes of your time your talent and your treasure it's hard to balance work life it's hard to acquire new skills it's hard to be stagnant it's hard to be a Workhorse it's hard to be lazy it's hard to learn how to manage and cultivate relationships it's hard to learn from your experiences it's hard to turn your mess into your message it's all hard it's hard to
hold on it's hard to let go but the reward on the other end of many of these hardships you better choose reward or regret there is always reward and regret attached to every decision that you make [Music] hold on pain ends pain does have an expiration date and when that pain ends another one will surface but you will be strong enough because you endured the current pain well everybody wants Resurrection but nobody wants the pain of dying to themselves there's a pain that hurts you and there's a pain that changes you so today all I
want you to do is make a decision to choose your heart [Music] rise and grind you can't lay around the 12 each and every day and expect greatness to come your way it don't work like that so you get out of this life exactly what you put into this life control all delete control yourself alter your thinking and delete negativity period it's about manifestation what have I been destined to become wake up there's always another level life is not responsible for how you take care of your own mindset life is not responsible for you having
a positive attitude you're not dead you still have life your heart is still beating and the journey must continue Stop drowning and learn how to swim don't blame life because you fall down don't blame life because that relationship didn't work out don't blame life because that job did not turn out it is not life that's holding you back you just gotta be a little bit tougher than your circumstances we can't concern yourself about things that you have no control over what are you made of what is your DNA what is your mentality what are the
skill sets come on start to write down the vision what are your goals what are your financial goals what are your relational goals what are your spiritual goals come on start thinking about these things you're still alive for a reason somebody died today but you're still here listening in this very moment you have an opportunity the opportunity when you take that kind of action when you have that dedication when you show that kind of passion when you put in that kind of work you can't help but win because limits exist only in the mind you
will meet many challenges many things will come at you there are going to be times that you're going to want to give up but you don't have the permission to do so you must carry on a good fight what good is your greatness if you don't stand on it how can you hold on to who you really are inside if you let everything else tell you that you're not worthy you got two options you can give up or get up this is your day get up and beat yourself from yesterday what are you made of
what is your DNA what is your mentality what are the skill sets come on start to write down the vision [Music] I need you to rise and grind oh you're not hearing what I'm saying I said it all starts with your mindset see the true definition of mindset is the driving force in the Quest for success and achievement a mindset that combines discipline strength confidence and ambition is a powerful mindset be faithful be productive put away the destructive mindset let the world know that you matter believe in every step that you take I know you've
got some doubt and you've got some uncertainty and you hate the image that you see in the mirror and you hate the way your money looks and your relationships look and people that you've given your all to keep walking out on you I know you feel stuck in Reverse I know you feel like you're underpaid and undervalued and overlooked but listen this is the day that everything changes get up Roger get up and get after it that's what's going to separate you from the pack you're not scared to get uncomfortable rise and grind and wake
up with a renewed Spirit wake up with a renewed passion just need you to be one percent better than you were yesterday if you can be one percent better than you were yesterday you're making progress I told you I wake up at three o'clock in the morning three o'clock in the morning every day three o'clock in the morning and started some days when I wake up I just woke up recently and it was 2 45. I looked at the clock and I said look between me and you we got an agreement it's three o'clock it's
2 45 right now like listen to the records technically technically I have 15 minutes technically I have 15 more minutes I never told the world that I wake up at 2 45 ever I say three o'clock but when I looked at the clock the clock said 2 45 and the average person in me said E.T just pull the covers back over here it's okay you got 15 minutes [Music] it's a phenomenal on me said ET if you go back to sleep for those 15 minutes there's no guarantee you're going to get up at three o'clock
and if you go back to sleep right now you might wake up and it's four o'clock you might wake up and it's five o'clock you might wake up and it's six o'clock all you have is right now are those 15 minutes that sweet that you're gonna push back your dream that you're gonna push back your goal everything you've ever wanted son you're right there what is it what is that one thing that you're saying that I am going to get this thing done and I'm going to make my dreams become a reality so I need
you to be a huge favor I need you to be a huge favor I need you not only to want to be a beast when you leave this place huge favor ET is asking you of one thing when you leave this place I need you to get in beast mode and stay and beast mode You've Got One Life to Live it's time to get it done are you tired of just thinking about it you're focused on the risk more than you are the reward your focus on the pain of the process more than you are
the glory on the other side you're listening to the wrong people you're listening to the wrong voices you are subscribed to the wrong programs of thinking and you stop waiting to feel like it stop waiting for the conditions to be perfect they're never going to be perfect you're not going to always feel like it you're not going to always see it you're not going to always have a resource you're not going to always have a handout the question is how bad do you want this how bad do you want this are you willing to sacrifice
are you willing to let go of some things are you willing to put the work in are you ready to be consistent are you tired of this version of yourself the prize goes to the hardest worker in the room as an individual I need you to get your schedule up I need you to get your life up I need to get your words up I need you to get your heart up I need you to get your action up I need you to get to a place that every single thing that you do is phenomenal
so that the life you want to live you can actually live that life you're not putting forth 120 you're not all in let me tell you something if you get to that point if you get to that point where you do exactly what you say you're gonna do you're gonna get to the next level all right so let's get started let's get started let's get started [Music] at the end of the day you can listen to a million motivational speeches but you are going to have to wake up and make a decision to get it
done if you can hear my voice if you are tired of where you are if you are tired of not hitting your targets if you are tired of not being aimed and intentional and assertive and consistent you have everything you need to get started stop waiting for the weather to change in your life stop waiting for the perfect conditions stop waiting for a hand though stop waiting for everybody to believe in you and cheer for you and affirm you your dreams are phenomenal in your dreams your bank account is phenomenal the life that you have
for yourself is phenomenal the things that you do the way that you live what you have is phenomenal but you as an individual Your Average and what I'm challenging you to do is to go from average to good from good to great and from great to phenomenal enough is enough I'm getting out of this place and I got stuff to do I've got assignments to finish I've got a destiny to fulfill I am sick and tired I'm no longer willing to tolerate this place of misery and pain everybody's got a dream everybody's got to go
everybody wants something in life but many of you in this room right now your beast mode is Idle your beast mode is not turned on and when you leave this place I'm telling you your life is going to go to a whole other level if you can learn to turn that switch off and keep that switch on everybody's got purpose but everybody's got a dream everybody's got something they have to pass or achieve or become but we are generationally programmed to Love convenience and the truth of the matter is it is so convenient to make
an excuse I want to give you just a few things that you can do to help you to stop making excuses to help you to stop habitually gravitating to the place called convenience number one you got to stop comparing yourself to everybody else rule number one kill the comparison game well I don't I don't do it like them and I I don't say it like them and I don't I'm not as tall as them and I'm not as strong as them and I I don't have the money that they have I don't have the resources
that they have I don't well the the reason why I I couldn't do it is because my parents weren't there for me and the reason why I didn't get to go to college on a full ride because my coach he didn't create the Highlight Reel from from the sports scholarship the reason why and so we're we're just programmed to blame everybody else when will you look in the mirror and stop comparing yourself to everybody else we compare ourselves to the way people look we compare our stories to their stories and our relationship to their relationship
every single day this is that we make we make are like a warm blanket pulled over us covering up underlining issue of fear Spirit the personality of fear the truth is that the reason why you haven't done it is because you're afraid maybe if you could just listen to this a couple times give me your stomach stop making so many excuses because the excuse is nothing but a cosmetic it's makeup it's a blanket it's a convenience that we habitually gravitate to because it just makes us feel better but the underlining issue the underlying cancer the
inflammation is fear we're afraid we committed to being a champion be committed to being a warrior be committed to keeping your eyes focused on the prize this is what you work for stay hungry you got to trust yourself you got to believe in yourself I have to keep running that mile when you run that ball run another mile when you start to feel tired get it to that second and third gear when you feel that your grip is getting weak find something else to get that grip strong again don't quit on you don't quit on
this opportunity don't quit on your success don't quit on being the best of yourself why are you here take a good look at what you see in front of you look around you realize that at the end of it all you must understand if it goes down you must make sure that you are the last man or woman that is standing standing strong standing hard and ready for whatever May Come when somebody is in love with who they've been called to become what they've been called to fulfill what they've been destined to do there is
no day off there are no lightness I'm not a light switch you can't turn me off I can never get turned off every single day I'm giving everything I have that's how big my dream is and so there's no excuse there's no pain there's no dilemma there are no speed bumps there's no distraction that can turn me off I'm not a light switch you can't turn me off I want this thing every single day let the world see something they have never seen before in you let them Witness something special something unique you not done
yet keep going keep fighting keep pushing keep breathing understand this is the time and this time it's yours earn your key earn your Victory and when you cross that Finish Line look up to the heavens with your hands up high and take a deep breath because you made it if it's important to you you're gonna find a way you won't have to look for photos you will you will come resourceful it's not always about the accomplishment it's about the effort [Music] all right so watch this three things work so what do I mean when I
say work on your work first you gotta study your work are you hearing me like you're going to work every single day and you're not getting no better at it because you're not studying it like literally you got to study your own work I don't know if you play football or basketball if you're a teacher look if you're a teacher get you a camera and put in a room stop letting the principal study your work stop letting the assistant principal stop letting administrators study your work you should be studying your own work you should be
your own performance coach you should be looking at what you do how you do it when you do it why you do it you should study your work number two listen to me we taking it to another level I critique your work all right I'm talking about examine it measure it so what I want you to do is from day to day from week to week from month to month from year to year I want you to critique your work I'm my greatest critic I'm not relying on comments on YouTube I'm not relying on the
feedback of others I'm trying to constantly not just look at my work are you hearing what I'm saying not just study it but I'm trying to critique it I'm trying to evaluate I'm trying to measure it because there's no way you can get to another level if you can't measure it you got to know where you are first to know where you're going so I need you to critique your work in the last one I need you to reflect on your work I need you just to step back from your own work sometime just step
back from your work and reflect on it like just really think about it right think about how you do what you do think about all the move like really just step back step back and kind of just think all right so I need you to work on your work again I want you to study it I want you to critique it right then I want you to reflect on your work and I'm telling you if you can do this you don't go through a whole other level so stop just going to work stop just doing
what you've been told to do stop just just going to work I want you to work on your work every single day every single week every single month every single year you should be better at what you do stop looking for a promotion stop looking for a raise if you're not going to increase your performance nothing else around you is going to increase look how bad do you want it how bad do you want do you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe because I hear what you said ET I don't have
no more room for growth E.T I can't take it to the ET I've done everything if you're still alive you've not done everything you could do if you're still alive there's room for growth I understand that I gotta upgrade that everything I do got every day every week every month every year it's got to get better and so for some of you you're going to work I don't know if it's basketball if it's soccer but if it's sales your education I don't know what you're doing but if you teach and you're the same teacher this
year than you were last year that's a problem and so I need increased performance because once you increase your performance everything else increases so here's the problem this ain't for the weekend young commitment okay so mama if they need to cut it off tell them to cut off when you want to succeed it don't watch it no more well Mama it ain't no middle ground mama you either here or you're there it's no middle ground and so what I'm telling you is that you can't count the costs you when you when you when you want
something bad you can't count the cost because if you count the cost and you see how much it costs you might quit you might give up so you got to go in knowing that I don't count the cost I do as many push-ups as it take as many sit-ups as it take as many reps as it takes I study as long as it takes I pay whatever the price is why because if I start counting the cost I might quit I might give up I might surrender don't count the costs this one is out listen
to me you don't count how many breaths you take you don't count it you don't count the cost on this one I'ma say two names LeBron James and Dirk all right both won a championship Dirk won his championship and listened to me closely Dirk got the trophy look Dirk at the club with the trophy and if you look at dirt a year after the Championship what do you see you see absolutely nothing if you look at his assist if you look at his rebounds if you look at his scoring if you look at everything a
year later he actually went down ever since he won a championship he's literally going down when you look at LeBron James LeBron won a title but if you study LeBron everything went up everything his assist went up all right his scoring went up his defense went up my man's shooting percentage has gone up everything has gone up if you want more money if you want a promotion if you want to leave a legacy you got to increase you can't stay where you are and think things around you're gonna grow if you keep doing what you've
always done good or bad you'll keep getting what you've always got you just do what you got to do on this one and then you look back when it's all over and you see the rewards you look back and you see the accomplishments you don't count it you just look back and you see that you succeeded so if you give me increased performance hear me increase performance is going to increase your pay increase performance is going to increase your response nobody's going to give you more responsibility if you can't handle the responsibility that you have
[Music] the future is very expensive I don't know what it is that you want to do but everybody's got something they want to do everybody's got something they want to become everybody's got somewhere they believe they've been destined to go and oftentimes we don't hit these targets because we're not considering the cost then I just want to share a few things that you need to start sacrificing right now number one your time you got to get used to sacrificing your time if you're going to achieve it if you're going to become it if you're going
to go somewhere because you're going to learn how to have to sacrifice your time you can't have the future and you don't know how to wake up at three o'clock in the morning four o'clock in the morning five o'clock in the morning you can't have the future you will not be able to manifest if you're sleeping when the world sleeps so you gotta learn how to get up when everybody's sleeping you only have 24 hours in a day you got to learn to manage the time that is given to you this means that you can't
binge watch your favorite television show every day this means that you can't be on social media every day this means that you can't do whatever you want all day and think you're going to manifest and become this person and achieve this feat it's not going to happen number two you gotta surrender Comfort I need you to get out of your comfort zone if you're going to be successful if you're going to achieve it if you're going to become it you've got to break out of your comfort zone some of you you have financial goals you
have relational goals you have health goals but you're comfortable you're comfortable in the current toxic relationship you're in you're comfortable being overweight but I'm just wondering if there's anybody that's listening to me that's just flat out tired of being comfortable number three past versions of yourself there is an irritation there is an anguish and a pain that we all carry when we show up in a new season the old version of ourselves every season requires a new version of yourself another version of discipline and focus and intentionality that you got to sacrifice the old you
I know you keep celebrating small wins and once you accomplish five years ago two years ago what you did in high school I need you to find a mirror I need you to say goodbye to the old version of yourself in the next three to six months You're Gonna Make You Proud the next thing that's got to go is fear pride and ego [Music] for many of us fear is disguised as rational and practical and and fear is disguised as a planning agent I'm just planning out the process and I'm just gonna wait I'm just
kind of walking myself through everything and and and processing everything and so fear cloaks fear disguises itself as as process and and I'm talking to you I need you to find a mirror and I need you to bind up the spirit of fear and I need you to tell yourself I am not afraid I am not afraid if you were to ask me what do I fear I don't fear starting I fear never starting and sleeping on my potential I'm terrified of not manifesting and becoming the version of myself I was destined to be so
the next thing you're going to have to sacrifice is that Vice now listen I don't know what your advice is if you're trying to lose weight your advice could be ice cream chips cupcakes cookies if you're trying to be financially fit your advice could be splurging on clothes and entertainment and food and Recreation sometimes you're going to have to surrender that month that quarter that year it takes a lifetime of discipline can you surrender what you have possessed can you surrender what is possessing you some of you are possessed by social media it's no longer
a servant it is a master social media is a beautiful servant but it is a terrible master can you surrender social media can you surrender your time can you surrender yourself can you surrender your mind can you surrender your will can you stop choosing what's killing you if you're going to achieve it if you're going to manifest if you're going to do this thing then you're going to need some stamina come on believe it come on you got to start speaking that stamina over your life speaking that endurance over your life believe it believe it
if you're going to be extraordinary you can't make ordinary sacrifices there are levels to sacrifice there's sacrifices that everybody makes sacrifices in every scene of our lives and that there are some extraordinary sacrifices you can't have the future if you can't surrender something that's no longer serving you you cannot manifest you cannot become the next version of yourself you cannot experience a higher quality of life unless you sacrifice there are some things that you love too much there's some people that you've kept in your life they are toxic they add no value they are no
longer serving your vision it's time for the next version of yourself snap out of it this version of you is not gonna carry you in this next season you're gonna have to sacrifice who you used to be intentional about bringing forth positive transformation in your life your future self your future self your future self will thank you imagine what your life would look like if you decided that you will not stay stuck imagine what your life would look like if you decided that you refuse to give up and I need the present-day version of you
to invest in your dreams because if you grind now you my friend will shine later no it's not gonna be easy I'm not gonna tell you that lie they're gonna be a lot of days that you want to quit they're gonna be a lot of days that you trip slip and fall and you have to muster up the energy to get yourself back up but what you can never do is except losing you know the mindset you know the mantra you never lose you only learn and I promise you all of the hard work that
you're putting in today will pay off and we've got to learn how to execute the day give us this day we gotta learn how to execute the day that you conquer the day what is it that you can do today to get closer to the Fulfillment of that future to get closer to the manifestation of the future a few years from now will you be living the life you've envisioned or will you be frustrated or disappointed because you set goals but you did not take them seriously don't negotiate with yourself when it comes to following
through on the commitments you you have made your future self needs you to have the courage to keep going when you face an intimidating challenge and sometimes you have to extend your hand and hope you in a circle where somebody will extend the hand back because you can't always do it by yourself sometimes you gotta ask the right question sometimes you got to be sewing with the right Eagles [Music] and they can pull you along until you get yourself in the right mindset and then we've got to be kind not only to others throughout our
process but we've got to be kind to ourselves the problem with many of us is that we're not kind to ourselves be kind to yourself you can be assertive you can be direct you can be firm but you can have a little empathy and a little kindness not only on others but on yourself because the truth of the matter is you are not going to always feel like doing what you were designed to do so we've got to condition ourselves for the stretch with gratitude we're going to need that coupled with patience future takes time
to manifest the future takes time you're going to have to acquire a different set of skills a different work mentality it's going to require you to become a different version of yourself remember why you're doing what you're doing it may be difficult cumbersome it may seem impossible it's difficult but I'm determined you push through the pain and get back up each and every time I need you to believe that in your heart of hearts you cannot be broken you're an unbreakable force and everything that you're doing right now will eventually pay off in the long
run you gotta believe that you gotta know that just look around all of the people that you see Shining they're only Shining of consistent Relentless grinding your daily decisions your habits your programming the way that you think the way that you talk the way that you walk Blood Sweat tears sacrifice people that you have to let go sleep that you have to lose multiple jobs that you have to work hours on end of study beating on your craft every single day it's not easy but it's worth it they're going to be nice you're going to
cry yourself to sleep they're going to be times you're going to want to throw in the towel but if you keep going your future self will thank you if you can hear your future self talking to you now the future you would say thank you for not giving up I believe in the future [Music] turn your haters into your motivators and never let anybody else's opinion be bigger than your own [Music] understand the struggles that you go through are helping you to get to your destiny the adversity and heals that you have to run the
mountains that you have to climb it's taking you to Greatness so I'm telling you don't run from the adversity don't run from the problem because if you don't face it you can become it it's gonna make you stronger it's gonna make you better because you're overcoming a sour taste of now to get to the Sweet Taste of later you adjust to all the different personalities of your teachers and professors and enjoy those that are super cool but stay mentally prepared for those that are stresses blessings seem to find you because the universe conspires to make
sure everything falls into place because you've got so much heart passion and desire the fire keeps burning but at times it starts to fizzle but you remember you owe it to your future self and that gas turns that fizzle into a system you want to leave a legacy and tribute to the greater good so for now it's the uncomfortable discipline and sacrifice because the cash out in the future means today you gotta pay the price so that means when your friends ask can you go the heart wants to say yes but your willpower says no
because Mr Jones thermal chemistry 3202 ain't no joke and so you got to be locked in and stay woke because he's all about business and doesn't give any rope so if you miss any assignments or fail any test you have very little hope of passing his class but you will pass this class and you will pass it with flying colors because you my friend or an academic Hustle and thus you put in the time the effort and ask all the right questions to make sure all of your bases are covered the vultures will hate you
tried to give them vision but they never put on the right frames and thus that site was blurry and that gray reflected it and now they want to throw shade at you but your Shield deflected it you tell them winning in progress over here please eliminate the negative five it's time to remove him from your circle and find yourself a positive tribe because misery loves company but that misery cannot have any of your companionship because everybody on your team is working as a unit go back and win the championship you owe it to your future
self to make money moves in and out of the classroom because time waits for no one and whether you succeed or fail it will pass soon walk with character and integrity so your reflection in the mirror is who you want to see it's counting on your current self to set the tone and make sure your future is not only bright powerful and strong for mediocrity the self is count on your current self to never take shortcuts and never lack Integrity because today will come for you to walk with character and have clarity greatness is your
destiny but at times you must reboot your mental computer because every step you take today foreign [Music] [Applause] this is a great day to win [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music]
