force yourself to take action

you know a lot of times you going to have to force yourself to take action it's the days that you don't feel like doing nothing when you got to do something the most it's the days where you don't feel like doing nothing where you got to get up and do something the most the most those days count more those days matter more I mean it's easy to say that we feeling good when we motivated y'all know this we speak about it all the time it's easy to say that we we feel energized when we're literally

it's easy to do hella work on a day where we feel like we got it all together but at the end of the day bro it's not easy you know there's going to be ups and downs there's going to be pitfalls and you got to crawl yourself out of that hole and give yourself Grace while you doing it you don't got to be perfect but you just got to do something you just got to do something you just got to move towards your goals and the biggest lie that we've been told is that as men

we got to figure it all out I mean sure yeah we got to figure some things out cuz if we don't got some things figured out then where we going to know where we going and how we going to know what we doing so you got to figure some things out but you don't got to have all the answers right like you don't got to figure every single thing out you don't you don't it don't got to be a perfect day for you to move and for you to step the sun don't got to be

out for you to put in there at work it don't got to be a perfect day for you to go out and record all right it don't got to be a perfect day for you to go out and exercise it don't got to be a per perfect day you don't got to feel perfect for you to put in the work you just got to be awake your heart just got to be pumping it's all about effort bro it's all about constant effort and constant movement whatever you do don't quit and don't stop you can slow

down you can take breaks that's life we're all going to get these little burnout situations but at the end of the day you still got to force yourself to take some sort of action towards your goals and dreams and that all comes back down to valuing your time you can't spend your time with everybody you can't do everything with everybody you know you got to value your time bro like when somebody's like can we go party when you on your purpose you got to ask yourself do these two things correlate can I actually go party

and more than more than not the answer is going to be no because you got to be locked in you got to be disciplined and you got to be consistent on your goals the more time we put towards our goals and dreams the more we actually accomplish the things that we want to accomplish facts facts bro the more time that we put towards our goals and dreams the more that our dreams will come true if you only put 30 minutes each day towards your goals and dreams you're still moving in the right direction if you're

only putting 30 minutes into working out you're still moving in the right direction just know that you might not get there as fast as somebody that's putting in 3 hours into their goals and dreams but everybody has a different circumstance everybody has a different situation so don't look at somebody and say man he made it and he made it there fast don't do that don't do that everybody put the work in you never know what people had to do in the back end you never know how much time and dedication they gave to their goals

and dreams so it looks like people getting it faster right but sometimes it really just is the fact that they sacrifice more time than you so if you want your goals and dreams to come true faster if you want to reach the the levels that you want to reach you're going to have to sacrifice your old self you're going to have to sacrifice your old life and what that means is you probably not going to be hanging around the same people you probably not going to be doing the same things you're probably not even going

to be eating the same Foods you're not even going to be thinking the same everything about you is going to be different everything's going to be rewired you're going to be a whole different person you're going to start understanding things differently you're going to start being different like those things those things matter that's that's about evolving and that's what life is all about it's all about about evolving it's all about being the best version of you so you you can't do the same things you used to do cuz that's going to get you the same

results right but you got to be a better version of yourself and you got to value your time you got to understand where is my time being spent ask yourself that write it down if you have to there's nothing wrong with getting the pen and paper like we were back in elementary school or middle school and writing things down why did you spend your time here what did you get out of that right everything don't have to be work some things could be enjoyment some things could be fulfillment some things could just be relaxation but

the more you relax the more you just do things to enjoy and the less you work towards your goals and dreams right it's it's going to be a slower process that's just science but the more you put towards your goals and dreams it's going to be a faster process and to each his own you don't got to walk at the same Pace as me you don't got to walk at the same Pace as him you just got to walk and if you walking towards your goals and dreams if you're walking towards your purpose then you're

a purpose-driven man and I'm not going to critique anybody for the speed at which they're walking but I'm going to critique you if you're walking or not you see what I'm saying you see what I'm saying but if you want to walk faster you got to see where your time is going you got to cut certain things out of your life and you got to cut on certain things so you got to cut off things that don't serve you and you got to cut on the gym you got to cut on you know working out

you got to cut on healthy food you got to cut on people that's good for you you got to cut on good energy you got to cut on putting in that work we can't be afraid of putting in that work sometimes you got to force yourself to take that action a lot of times you're not going to want to do it bro you're not going to want to do it but you have to force yourself have to take that action and I'm not saying like you keep forcing yourself each and every day but bro you're

taking a step do you do you see what I'm saying it don't even got to be like you running a mile you just taking a step in the right direction a step could be five minutes reading this book that could teach you something that you didn't know before that you can apply for the rest of your life what's a good book to start off with atart told the Power of Now understanding how valuable time is understanding what it means to live in the present moment as long as you have the present moment you have everything

you have all the gifts of life as long as you have breath you have all the gifts of life as long as you have your heart pumping you have all the gifts of life and all the gifts of Life simply means that you are alive to take action but if you keep thinking about it there's a difference between thinking about it and doing it those that think and don't work will never reach their goals all you're doing is thinking now if you're thinking of a plan and you want to execute that plan and that's different

you can do that that's fine that's perfectly fine think about a plan execute a plan go out and make it happen but a lot of y'all not doing that last part go out and make it happen that's that's that's scary to y'all you got fear that it might not work out you got fear that it can't happen for you but it can happen for everybody else I think it's time for you to start understanding the power that you have to change your life you're you're different bro you're you're built different bro you're a king bro

pick up back your crown pick your crown back up pick your crown back up put it on your head be the king that you were always meant to be right be the king that you were always meant to be we have to understand the value of our time we have to understand that our energy goes a long way and we have to understand that only the working man gets the reward only the working man gets the reward don't just work smart that's another trick they try to tell oh he just works smart it's all about

working smart not hard you got to work smart and hard what life what what life are we living bro where you think you can't work hard bro there's a lot of people working hard two three jobs just to pay the bills doing everything they can doing things that they don't want to do we got to give them so much credit bro we got to give them so much credit there people putting in work there's people putting in work there's people putting in effort every single day to be the best version of themselves I got to

give yall yall credit so if y'all think that y'all can't work if y'all think that life ain't about hard work then I don't think you understand what life is about life is about hard work especially as men when nobody's going to do the work for us it's going to be hard regardless work smart not harder that's what it is but you got to work smart and hard and you got to understand okay how can I work smarter stop wasting your time and energy in places that don't Propel you further towards your goals and dreams stop

wasting your time around people that's not bringing you peace don't do that don't do that your peace is everything your peace of mind is everything cuz when it's time for you to force yourself to take action you need to be around people that's able to push you if you tired and your friend is just like man just skip the gym today Bro you've been you've been going so well that's not the right people to be around what he can say is hey if you give just 25 minutes today and just deposit that into the grind

you'll reach your goals even quicker so I'm not trying to discourage you from going I'm just saying you don't you don't have to go at the full level that you've always went because you're not feeling your best today but if you give 25 minutes you'll still feel fulfilled you'll still be glad that you went and you can hop right back on the grind tomorrow Full Throttle that's what I need people to tell each other but how many of your friends is motivating you like that how many of your friends is checking in on you like

that how many people are holding you accountable how many people are keeping you to the same standard that you set for yourself or how many people want you to fail how many people are going to offer you Temptation and you got to say no to the distractions you got to say no to the Temptation you got to say no no no no no no no because you're purpose-- driven because you're locked in because you're part of the grind and and and during that while you force yourself to take action be proud of yourself be proud

of yourself I'm not asking y'all to just work hard and never enjoy life but what I am asking y'all to do is to work I am asking y'all to to put some effort in I am asking y'all to be the best version of yourselves I'm asking you to spend spend your time wisely don't just spend it don't just spend it all willy-nilly understand that once you spend it here you can never get it back and you can never put it there you can never put it over here you can never put it over there wear

your watch understand what time it is and understand where you putting your time there's nothing more valuable than your time the greatest currency is your time the greatest asset that you have in order to make your life better is your god-given time and he can take you out anytime he wants but you're still here with me on Earth kicking it and we got a chance to be purpose-- driven so why not take it you're still here with me kicking it and we got a chance to to to go to the gym and look good and

feel good why not take it you're still you're you're still here with me on Earth kicking it and we got a chance to follow our goals and dreams our purpose to be the best version of ourselves why not take it right why not take it why not take it you're still here with me kicking it on Earth and we got a chance to wake up every single morning and deposit more into the grind and deposit more into the grind and deposit more into the grind so why is that not something that's appealing to y'all why

is hard work not appealing to y'all sometimes you got to force yourself to take action Bro you've been saying it too much you've been saying that you going to do this for too long you've been saying that you want to do something for too long but a want versus a need is different and I want you to stop saying I want that life I want you to stop saying I want that car I want you to stop saying I want that opportunity I want that job I want that dream I want to spend my time

like this I want to feel like this I want to be Purpose Driven I want to be fulfill stop saying want because when you say want and you put that out into the world the universe the creator of all things who created the universe the energy comes back to you as if you're lacking those things but all you have in here is all the materials that can make you acquire those things which means you're already fulfilled with out those things so you can't come from a place of lack but you have to come from a

place of I am already fulfilled I'm already fulfilled and you have to see it as a need it's a necessity to go out there and get it so now your energy towards getting that goal and dream is different it's more deep you're going after it differently what do I mean by all of that I'm going to break it down one more time for you I'm not going to repeat it but I'm going to break it down even smoother let's go let's go at it one more time cuz I want everybody to get it if I

say I want that car and I don't put the work in does does God take me serious does my future self take me serious does the energy that reflects back onto me because everything that's in here is is out here our inner world is our outer world I want that car but I'm not putting in that work will I ever get that car Brothers no no you can cross that off The Bucket List you can cross that off the wish list you can cross that off the Christmas list you can cross that off off the

I did it list it's not going to happen bro but if I say this is what I'm going to do this is the actionable steps and it ain't a want for me no more it's a need it's a necessity for me to be hungry for it the energy I'm putting out now is a little bit different it's I'm going go get it I will get it and people take it to the next level and they're really attracted by saying I'm already there I'm already there I remember I was talking to my girl when we was

back in college and I'm like hey we gonna be living here visualize living here this is where I want to be visualize it visualize it visualize it visualize it I said you know what we already there I said what's the worst that can happen what's the worst that can Happ or that's the worst that can happen I'll take my chances let's take the risk it worked why because we visualized it and we visualized it and we visualized it and when it was time to work towards it we made it happen when it was time to

work towards it we made it happen so now we live in the city that we want to live in because we we put that out and God received it and God said in in scripture ask and it is given what does that mean speak speak it believe it achieve it speak it believe it achieve it speak it believe it achieve it speak it believe it achieve it and have faith that it can work out so at the end of the day you got to force yourself to take action you got to force yourself to believe

in yourself because the mind does not understand the grind the Mind does not understand the grind the Mind wants it to be easy for you but that's not you you want more for yourself you want to put in more work you want to go to extra mile the Mind does not understand the grind the Mind does not understand how valuable your time is you got to understand the grind and you got to understand how valuable your time is and you got to see where it's going where you're putting your efforts where you're depositing that grind

into are you depositing it into your goals and dreams or are you doing everything for everybody else you focus on everybody else you doing everything else but going after your goals and dreams what what type of man are you what type of man do you want to be remember Brothers I'm telling you to also give yourself Grace right I'm telling you to also give yourself Grace right I want you to also give yourself Grace you don't have to have it all figured out you don't have to have all the answers you just got to you

just got to wake up and walk towards your goals it doesn't have to be fast remember if you want it faster then all you have to do is sacrifice other things that don't serve you and the more you sacrifice when it comes to partying and things that don't really help you on your goals and dreams the more you can work on your goals and dreams and the quicker it'll happen but the most important thing the most important thing the most important thing is showing up and locking in Show up is already half of the work

showing up is half the work that's half the battle how many of y'all are showing up each day just showing up just saying I'mma give it a shot I'mma give it a chance I'mma give my goals a chance I'mma give this praying thing a chance I'm going give this meditation thing a chance I'mma give this book a chance I'm going give this video a chance I'm going give myself a chance I'mma give having faith a chance I'm going give locking in a chance just give it a chance bro just give it a chance think of

it like that just let me give it a chance he talk about these things every day let me just give it a chance let let me give it a chance and that's not to say my life is perfect it's far from perfect there's a lot of things that I'm working on there's a lot of things that I will go out and get there's a lot of things bro but right now the most important thing that I value is my time it's my effort it's my family it's my faith it's motivating y'all create a priority list

and shape your life around that and everything else will come into your life at the right time at the right moment with the right energy at the right speed because you don't want your blessings to come and you're not ready for it you got to be ready for it and that's why you go through so much ups and downs cuz it's only preparing you for those good moments to come you you got to understand that it's preparing you bro are you are you ready do you feel ready are you locked in are you locked in

right you know time is a funny thing bro time is a funny thing you can be here today and you can be gone tomorrow it's up to you the life that you want to make for yourself it's up to you the type of person that you want to be it's up to you how far you want to take this it's up to you how disciplined you want to be it's up to you how consistent you want to be it's it's always going to be up to you not nobody else not the people around you I

can't put the work in for you they can't put the work in for you you got to put the work in for yourself you got to have that energy to go out there and grind you got to have the energy to go out there and get it other people can't motivate you some people may not hold you accountable you got to be your number one accountability partner you got to be honest with yourself you got to look in the mirror and say did I give it my all today most importantly you got to force yourself

to take action you have to force yourself to take action you have to force yourself most days to take action there's a difference between just thinking about it and doing it you can't just think about it you have to go out there and do it you got to create actionable steps and most times creating actionable steps come comes after failure you're not going to have everything mapped out like we spoke about earlier in the video you're not going to have everything figured out brother you just have to go out there and play go out there

in the field go out there in life and make it happen understand how life is understand the game of life and understand how to play that game now life is not a game life is very serious let's not get that mixed up life is very serious and your life is very serious but what I mean by understanding The Game of Life is understanding the in- and- outs understanding what it means to work hard okay if I work hard if I work three hours on my dreams and goals how do I feel today do I have

extra time for this do I have extra time for that does it make me a better person these are the things that we're talking about you have to go out there and play with it you have have to go out there and understand it you have to go out there and figure out a formula that works for you my productivity formula may not work for you but one thing that does work is being productive that's one thing that we can all agree on if you're not productive you're stagnant if you don't move you're stagnant if

you're not on your goals and dreams you're stagnant if you're not Purpose Driven you're stagnant if you're not taking a step towards the right direction you're stagnant and if you're stagnant you will always be where you're always at and you will always get what you always get and you will never evolve and life is all about evolving so I'm not going to say the last part of that sentence cuz it's it's kind of harsh but I'mma say it anyways if you don't put in the work you might as well be dead if you don't evolve

you might as well be gone life is about evolving don't let nobody get that mixed up people say what am I what's my purpose here to do what am I what am I on Earth to do we're going to make a video about that very soon about purpose and how to find it let me tell you bro you're here to evolve bro that's one of the main purposes that we all share you're not supposed to leave Earth the same way that you came in everything points to evolving so we were once babies now we grow

up to be men then we grow up to be fathers then we grow up to be grandfathers then we go then we grow old and now it's at the point where we're ready to be great-grandfathers and pass away evolving gaining more life experience understanding life differently evolving it's all about your experience points we're here to experience life as well that's part of your purpose that's part and that's why I say it's not about all hard work hard work hard work you're here to experience life as well you can party bro you can have fun but

does the partying and fun matter right now what matters more to you and what can you sacrifice to spend more time on for your goals and dreams dreams that's all I'm saying so you may not be partying but you're learning about things you never leared before which is good you're reading books you never read before which is good Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert kosaki right you're thinking differently how to build your own business how to be successful in this endeavor how to become an entrepreneur if that's what you want to do how to work

that 9 to5 and put the money into your business whatever it is you you have to learn those things by putting time aside to actually learn those things now the biggest teacher is going to be life itself but you can learn from other people you can learn from books you can learn from videos you can learn from experiences brother my biggest question to you is who do you want to be remembered as when it's all said and done who do you want to be when it's all said and done when it's all said and done

who do you want to be what type of man do you want to be what type of energy do you want to bring out into the world who do you want to motivate to be better 1% each and every day giving it your all giving it your consistent all showing up showing up that's the work how many times have you showed up all you got to do is show up and a lot of y'all not showing up so I want you to be consistent I want you to give life your full effort I want you

to believe in yourself but I want you to just get up and step and if you got to force yourself to do it force yourself to do you know how we force ourselves to go to the gym it's like I don't feel like going like this is crazy but then we're there and it's like man I'm so glad that I'm here I'm so glad that I just got up and did it I'm so glad that I'm at the gym I'm so glad that I've decided to just go that's how you're going to feel Brothers you're

going to feel so glad that you decided to go to the gym you're going to feel so happy that you clicked on this video and you and you got something from it you're going to feel so happy that you cut off people that's not helping you and and you know started and and you started the network and meet people that that that will help you you going to feel so happy when you out here being consistent on your goals and dreams you have to force yourself to be extroverted force yourself to speak to people force

yourself to communicate properly you got to force yourself to go to that gym you got to force yourself to go to work sometimes s you got to force yourself to take action because action is the only way that we can move towards a better life sometimes you have to force yourself to take action because action is the only way that we can move towards a better quality of life towards a greater life towards the life that you deserve towards the life that you're working towards action is the only thing that can take you there there's

a number of other things comes with prayer it comes with faith it comes with building a good system it comes with being consistent it comes with being disciplined but you can't do all that if you don't force yourself to do it you got to force yourself to get up you got to force yourself to believe sometimes cuz we could get discouraged but I force myself let me believe let me have faith I know God is out here looking after me watching after me guiding me bringing me into the right direction force yourself to take action

force yourself to be the best vers of yourself force yourself to take action I love y'all I appreciate y'all for watching we are purpose-- driven men and I'll see y'all in the next video as I'm recording this it's August 1st whatever day you're watching this on though make this a beautiful month make this a beautiful day make this your best day yet life is to be enjoyed life is to evolve life is Purpose Driven I love you peace sh
