let me tell you something you already know the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows it's a very mean and nasty place and i don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it you me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life but it ain't about how hard you hit it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward how much you can take and keep moving forward that's how winning is done don't allow your emotions to control you we
are emotional but you want to begin to discipline your emotion if you don't discipline and contain your emotions they will use you whatever experience you're having right now it has not come to stay it has come to pass not to stay just to pass it's just going through the time is now the time is now to express and for people to believe in themselves the time is now for it to be okay to be great if you want to begin to move into your own personal greatness if you want to begin to really enjoy a
happy successful healthy life you've got to be willing to go against the tide you've got to be willing to harness your will and say in spite of this i'm in control here i'm not going to let this get me down i'm not going to let this destroy me i'm coming back and i'll be stronger and better because of it you have got to make a declaration this is what you stand for you're standing up for your dreams you're standing up for peace of mind you're standing up for health you want it and you're going to
go all out to have it it's not going to be easy when you want to change it's not easy if it were in fact easy everybody will do it but if you're serious you'll go all out [Music] but like i always say life is 10 what happens to you is 90 what you do about it the first step is getting completely and brutally honest enough to say i am tired of myself when you say i'm sick and tired of being sick and tired that's the facilitator of change that's when you're ready to say these words
no more excuses no more excuses i believe that self-discipline is the definition of self-love that when you say that you love yourself that means that you have behavior towards yourself that is loving it's like you say to yourself hey man look i know you want to eat that pizza and it'll be really good you know but i love you too much to let you eat that and i think the word discipline has kind of gotten a bad name we think about it in terms of punishment i'm not i'm not talking about discipline in that way
i'm talking about discipline in the sense that you you forego immediate pleasure for the exchange of long-term self-respect if you find your passion you're gonna have this tremendous energy it's sustainable energy but momentum requires you always do the next thing to keep the momentum going and the reason you get yourself in a passionate place is so that you change your life and the only thing that changes your life is making a decision so while you're in this passionate state that's where you make decisions a decision is the first step decision is like a war i
gotta do this or that all right i'm gonna make myself do this but commitment is when you nail after you've decided you commit to do this for the long term whether it's hard or easy doesn't matter you're doing this it takes it from this moment and it carries it in the future even when things are difficult the only way the commitment and the energy and the momentum continues is if you take immediate massive action is the cure-all if you're having a difficult time with something your relationship isn't where you want it to be your finances
are not where you want to be your body's not where you want to be your business is not where you want to be you need to take massive action and if that doesn't work try something else if that doesn't work try something else keep going with massive action and you will find the way because it will give you momentum [Music] i don't want to be an icon i want to be an idea you know i want to represent an idea i want to represent possibilities i want to represent magic right you're in a universe and
2 plus 2 equals four two plus two only equals four if you accept that two plus two equals four two plus two is going to be what i want it to be there's a redemptive power that making a choice has you know rather than feeling like your effect to all the things that are happening make a choice right you just decide what it's going to be who you're going to be how you're going to do it just decide and then from that point the universe is going to get out your way a person's strengths are
often their biggest weaknesses and so that also means that their weaknesses [Music] can be their strengths so me i am weak in all those ways that i listed i am weak but i don't accept that i don't accept that i am what i am and that that is what i'm doomed to be no i don't accept that i'm fighting i'm always fighting i'm struggling and i'm scrapping but i'm kicking and clawing at those weaknesses to change them stop them some days i win some days i don't but each and every day i get back up
and i move forward with my fists clenched toward the battle toward the struggle and i fight with everything i've got to overcome those weaknesses and those shortfalls and those flaws as i strive to be just a little bit better today than i was yesterday [Music] the only thing that i can see and you can never really look at yourself the only thing that i see that is distinctly different about me is i'm not afraid to die on a treadmill i will not be outworked right period you know you might have more talent than me you
might be smarter than me you might be sexier than me you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories but if we get on the treadmill right there's two things you're getting off first yeah or i'm gonna die it's really that simple right so let's go back to the question about what if people block me out it's going to be two options i'm going to get back in or i'm going to be dead you're not going to outwork me it's a it's a very it's such a simple basic concept
is the the guy who is willing to hustle the most is going to be the guy that just gets that loose ball the commodity that i see the majority of people who aren't getting the places they want or aren't achieving the things that that they want in this business is strictly based on hustle it's strictly based on being out work is strictly based on missing crucial opportunities i say all the time if you stay ready you ain't got to get ready everything you're going through is preparing you for what you ask god for you just
gotta quit tripping while you're in the process because the process is necessary you may not see it now but when he gets you on the other side of it you're gonna see exactly why it went that way and you're gonna be okay with it but quit tripping during the process oh lord why me you ain't the only one oh lord why me you ain't the only one oh lord why i lose my job you ain't the only one unemployed oh lord why he leave me your first chick got left [Music] this man this might not
even be your last time getting left pull yourself together and quit tripping cause you in the process god is processing you he ain't through with you if he was through with you you would not wake up in the morning he gonna fix it it's a simple process the only reason i'm telling you this because this is how i made it i just do me i just i'm just being me i stay uniquely who i am because you are okay just the way you are because you god made you uniquely who you are he wanted you
to be just like you are
