YOU'RE GETTING CLOSER, KEEP GOING - Motivational Speech

I guess it comes down to a simple choice really. Get busy living or get busy dying. I can sit on the couch. Like that's the easy part. The tough part is like life has dealt you this opportunity. [ __ ] say yes 15 minutes before the show when you get a good idea. >> The easy thing to do is be like do the show. The hard thing to do is be like, "Yo, let's let's [ __ ] swing. Let's go for it." >> Yeah. So it's it's not like I I think those moments happen to

a lot of us >> and it doesn't have to be a lottery ticket. Granted and so like if you want to do big [ __ ] it takes a way longer period of time because the the easy little hills everyone conquers really quickly. I'm on time. I say please and thank you. It's like soing what? And so like if you want to do something that Most people can't do literally just extend the time horizon on the things that most people can't weather. There's so much opportunity on the other side of being willing to persist for

an extended period of time on the correct path without getting positive reinforcement from your environment. I'm from Detroit, HOMELESS. MAMA GOT PREGNANT WITH ME AT 17 YEARS OLD, HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT. TOOK ME 12 YEARS to get a FOUR-YEAR DEGREE. I'M COMING NOW. It's in view. You Finally MADE IT TO THE big league. And now you WANT TO CHILL. NOW YOU GOT THE BIG HEAD. NOW YOU CAN'T GRIND. YOU HERE NOW. YOU HERE NOW. YOU FINALLY MADE IT. And this is where you you break up. This is where you start chilling. This is where you get

comfortable. You made it now. YOU MADE IT NOW. YOU IN THE BIG LEAGUES NOW. THEY WATCHING YOU NOW. THIS is where you make it permanent. Yeah. I saw it. I saw it. Perfect. Perfect. Nope. Practice don't make perfect. Practice makes permanent. This permanent, y'all. This is permanent. You can go wherever you want to go from here. the greatest trick that life plays on us once we put it out in the atmosphere. Life hits us with a level of adversity, uncertainty, co pandemic, and step back and say, "Let me see if you remember your mother." Now,

only thing I'm asking you to do is if you got to step back, regroup, wipe your eyes, wipe your face, shake it off, say a prayer, Step back, then step back up and say, "I'll never forget why I do what I do." There comes a [ __ ] day where push comes a show where being mediocre, being like average, that [ __ ] just [ __ ] burns. that sucks so much. You can't deal with it one more day and you get off your ass and you create something. It's always been there. It's always been

inside of you trying to come out, but you've never wanted to unwrap it cuz there's too muching pain and commitment. You were scared you're going to fail. You were scared if you started, you never finish it. You didn't want to tell anyone about it. You knew it was there, but you never wanted to embark on it until something hits. You get fired or somebody else gets success remind you what you could have been and then a [ __ ] spark is born and no matter what happens I'm never going to be in this boat again

and you get up and you go get knocked keep going keep going you're a Wild man and life has never been so sweet and once you get it coming over this side of fence you don't see [ __ ] problems anymore man you stop you stop progressing and stop moving towards progress then all a sudden you lose purpose in life when you're always moving forward and having a belief in something then all of a sudden what you're doing actually has purpose and that makes it very valuable. >> When you take that road and you just

Don't want to just fit in. It's a lonely road. It's a lonely road and you get a lot of haters, man. Like I tell people all the time, man, if I can walk on water, [ __ ] would say because I couldn't swim. Tell you that right the now. >> Yeah. >> Tell that right now. And and this is a true statement. I used to get so mad like I said about this [ __ ] [ __ ] man. But I sat back one day. I was like, You know what? All these people hating on

me, man. Like I have a guy who's trying to who's trying to write a book saying that I was telling people and he's a famous author. Like I'll never drop names, dude. I'm not trying to hurt your business, but you're funny. These people are funny. Keep on talking your [ __ ] I will absorb it and make a mixtape out of your ass. Like I do. So if I say, "Is there a version of yourself that's better than you are Right now?" And most people hopefully would say yes. It's like great, accept that person. And

I think that to me when we talk about the authenticity, accepting yourself is accepting the ideal that we can live up to. And that's that is what we accept, not the shitty version of that that we are today. And I think that marries both sides of the argument. >> It's time to stay focused. It's time to decide. [ __ ] clubs. [ __ ] partying. Trying to fit in and socialize. Rub elbows with everybody so people can stop calling you weird. Why are you so antisocial? Because I'm trying to get it. Why are you staying

on the basketball court so much? Because I'm trying to get it. Why are you out there practicing in the hot sun when ain't nobody else out there? Because I'm trying to get it. Why are you not clubbing like every time I text you and invite you to go do something fun and Cool, you always studying? Because I'm trying to get it. Let me tell you something, homie. These women ain't going nowhere. Once again, not every message I have is for everybody. So, it's weaker soft people out there who want to pick apart the messages to

tune it out. Life ain't about medals. It ain't about the certificates. It ain't about houses, money, cars, Fame, all that [ __ ] It's about stars. So when you get judged when everything is said and done with, you don't get judged on your medals, you get judged on your stars. Those stars show your willingness to get to the other side. They show your failures. They show your willingness to start from scratch. They saw what you're willing to do to go the distance to see what you're capable Of. So make sure in life don't be afraid

to get scores. Stay hard. >> Being successful in real life takes courage. And part of the courage, the biggest part of the courage is to make decisions, stand on those decisions when really nobody else is in your corner. You've got to make those decisions for you. And that takes courage. And when you don't have courage and you don't make the decisions, you become one of These NPC people in the world who just kind of floats through life and ends up being bitter and pissed and frustrated because they're not able to create anything. All right? And

I think that most people the reason that they lack success in their life, especially from a financial aspect, is that they lack the courage to make the decisions that need to be made to put them in the position that they want to be in. And I really think that's a big part of it. And I Never really thought about it until I watched everybody DM me and email me and text me and say, "I'm so proud of you for speaking up." And then watched them not do [ __ ] And then when I took inventory

of who those people are, all of whom are struggling, you have to be competitive. Competition, having a strong desire to win, not a strong desire just to make money, just to pay your bills, just to get by. I didn't make the rules. If you're going to do Business in America, you have to play TO WIN. YOU HAVE to no part. NOW THEY GIVING THEM OUT, but they ain't real. The participation boy ain't real ON THE HIGHER. YOU HAVE TO be competitive. YOU HAVE YOU HAVE TO SAY IN YOUR REAL YOUR REALM, WHEREVER YOU ARE, WHATEVER

YOUR SPACE IS, this is my SPACE RIGHT HERE. I'M COMING TO GET EVERY YOU HAVE TO BE COMPETITIVE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, WHETHER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE OR NOT. AND HERE'S, PLEASE LISTEN TO ME. YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF YOUR PERSONALITY. YOU HAVE TO DO IT. YOU HAVE TO STOP DOING THE THINGS THAT YOU LOVE, THAT MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE, THAT YOU WANT TO DO. AND YOU HAVE TO GET INTO A SPACE WHERE YOU GOT THAT DOG. If you don't want to be forceful, that don't make you a bad person. Get out of

business. It's not for the weak at heart. Watch this. Watch this. It says it's a strong desire. What kind of desire? Come on. WHAT KIND OF DESIRE? COME ON. WHAT KIND OF DESIRE? A STRONG DESIRE TO WIN. What gets you out of bed? What gets you off the couch? What gets you in the gym? It's not your alarm. It's not your parents. It's not your friends. It's you. The only one that can make it happen for you is you. It's really hard to be led by your butt. But I'm not qualified. But I'm not good

Enough. But I'm not smart enough. But I didn't go to the right school. But I don't have enough money. But but but but if you're ever going to step into your future, if you're ever going to step into your destiny, you're going to have to get over your butt. And that's what a pity party is. Is when you have an undisiplined mind and you meditate on the wrong thing over and over and over again. If you're going to throw a pity party, I give you 3 days And that's it. And after 3 days, you cut

off your record player, your iPod, your MP3, and you come up with the plan. >> Do I just sit there and settle? No, I don't. I say enough's enough, man, and I'm going to make a change and I'm going to keep going until I get it. You chase something that you believe you deserve until you get it. And it doesn't matter what happens to you. Doesn't matter how many times you get fired. Doesn't matter how many people don't believe IN YOU. JUST GO UNTIL YOU GET IT. That's the point. Are you tired yet? Some of

you need to get tired. You need to BE TIRED OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE. GET TIRED OF YOUR HABITS. GET TIRED OF THE ACTIONS THAT YOU'RE PUTTING IN EVERY DAY. YOU GOT TO CHANGE, MAN, OR NOTHING CHANGES. I woke up one day and stopped making excuses. I woke up one day and stopped playing the blame game. I woke up one day and looked at the man in the mirror and was like, "Yo, bro, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WAKE UP. IT'S SHOWTIME. LET'S GO. GET UP. GO TO CLASS. GET UP. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. YOU

WAKE UP EARLIER than people. You stay later than people. You stay humble. YOU WORK HARDER THAN ANYONE WHEN NO ONE'S THERE. I GUARANTEE SOMEONE THAT FEELS BAD ABOUT THEMSELVES SOON will label you as he's BUILT DIFFERENT. HE'S BUILT different should be your label because people feel bad about themselves. Your life exactly what you wanted because every day you've had Choices to make. You're responsible and credible for every single choice. You've made the choices. And what I need you to do for me is why are you here? and then take ownership of why you here so

you control you. This world ain't going to give you what you deserve. This world going to give you what you work for. I put that work in every single day. And when you wake up every single day and you put that work in and yes, for some of us it might be harder than others. Man, whatever. We do what it is we got to do. Especially when we desperate. Winning's not loyal to you. It doesn't care about you. Winning doesn't care HOW SORE YOU ARE. WINNING DOESN'T CARE how much SLEEP YOU GET. WINNING doesn't care

HOW HARD YOU WORK AT TIMES. WINNING REQUIRES ALL OF YOU and then more and it promises you nothing. IT'S A MASTERMIND OF CREATING FEAR AND DOUBT IN your mind. It causes setback after setback. So the QUESTION IS ABOUT WINNING. ARE YOU WILLING TO SPRINT WHEN the distance is unknown? Then why chase this thing called winning? Because the only thing that's guaranteed in life if you don't chase IT IS LOSING. NOW IS THE TIME TO GRIND? NOW IS THE TIME TO SHOW THE WORLD I was placed here for a purpose. If the lion is the king

of the jungle, how can he be the king of the jungle? If he's not the biggest, the elephant is probably one of the biggest. He can't be the fastest, cuz that's a cheetah. He can't be the smartest, so he's not the biggest, the fastest, or the smartest. So, how does a lion become the king of the jungle? his mentality. That's the only difference of a lion and an elephant. When a lion walks up and sees an elephant, he thinks lunch. A elephant thinks run. And it's all Mentality. Because when a male lion walks up, he

may be outnumbered by a pack of hyenas, but I'm king of my jungle because of my mentality. What happens when you're Brazil and you're not being pushed? You're not being prodded. You're not giving no reward. Nobody's encouraging you. What happens when you're a gazelle and the lion's not chasing you anymore? You stop running. But what happens when you're a lion? When you're a lion, it Does not make a difference. You realize that if your family is going to eat, that if that pack of lions is to survive, then you got to go hunt. A part

of being a beast just ain't even a gazelle. A part of being a beast is the hunts. It's the hunt that they excited about. They like to see the gazels run. Then boom, they take off. Cuz real LIONS LIKE TO HUNT. THEY LOVE THE PROCESS JUST AS MUCH AS THEY LOVE THE PRIDE. AND SOME OF Y'ALL JUST WANT TO SCORE. You don't Like the process. YOU'RE NOT IN LOVE with the process. A true hunter's GOAL IS NOT TO PRIDE. A TRUE HUNTER'S GOAL IS TO HUNT. THAT'S WHAT THEY LIVE FOR. THEY LIVE TO HUNT. THEY

DON'T JUST LIVE TO CATCH IT. IT'S THE WHOLE PROCESS. WHEN YOU ARE A TRUE HUNTER, YOU DON'T GO BY TIME. YOU GO BY THE GAZELLE. WHEN YOU ARE A TRUE HUNTER, you hunt UNTIL YOU GET A GAZELLE. AND YOU DON'T STOP UNTIL you get one. And then you get another. And then you get another and you get Another. If you going to do what you say you going to do, be what you say you going to be. You going to have to lion me out. You a gazelle, you going to come up short. You a

gazelle, you going to have an average experience. You a student, I need you in lion mode. You an entrepreneur, I need you in lion mode. You trying to lose weight, lion mode. You can't do nothing significant in gazelle mode. nothing. Everything happened in line mode like I'm coming to Get you. There are going to be days where you do not feel like doing anything. Those days are going to be there no matter what path you take. We have two voices in our mind. It's that one voice is that soft [ __ ] That soft [

__ ] voice that says, "Sleep the [ __ ] in. It's okay. You can take the day off. saying you don't need to go hard. >> It's that cuddling voice. You want to be Hugged and nurtured and all that [ __ ] >> That voice, that nagging voice of weakness, the one that tells you to back off, to simmer down, to take it easy. When you hear that voice, tell it no. Tell it to sit down and be quiet. Suppress that voice. You got another voice in your head that's asking you a question. It's asking

you, "What could you be? What could you be? What could you be if you worked as hard as you could? What Could you be if you imposed real discipline in your life? What could you be? Because that pain that you are feeling is the test. This is a test. This is the day I'm going to find out if my goals really are my goals. Michael Jordan, they call it the flu day. He still scored more than the average dude with the flu. Even when you got the food and you playing other champions, you still score

more than they score because you've learned how to Dominate. And you need that same mentality. I'm talking about looking yourself in the mirror, looking yourself in the eye, and saying, I'm going to dominate today better than any other day. Learn how to get excited when that feeling creeps in of I don't want to do it. And when those test days become something that you live for, something you look forward to, now you're talking about a whole different level of mindset. You're talking about an Unstoppable force of nature that cannot be with. Mental toughness is the

ability to resist, to manage, overcome doubt, overcome worries, overcome concerns, OVERCOME CIRCUMSTANCES THAT PREVENT most people FROM SUCCEEDING OR PERFORMING UNDER PRESSURE. EVERY HUMAN BEING THAT IS NOT SUCCESSFUL VERSUS EVERY HUMAN BEING THAT'S SUCCESSFUL, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE between them is mental toughness. One group when THEY COME UP AGAINST TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, they Shrink. One group of PEOPLE WHEN THEY COME UP AGAINST A RECESSION, THEY SHRINK. WEAKMINDED PEOPLE, THEY BUCKLE, THEY COMPLAIN, THEY LOOK FOR EVERY EXCUSE. BUT MENTALLY TOUGH PEOPLE, WE SAW THE STORM AND WE PULLED ON OUR SURFBOARD AND WE BEGIN TO SURF ON

THE WAVES THAT DROWN MOST PEOPLE. You have to UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR GREATEST COMMODITY, not your shoes, NOT YOUR CAR, NOT YOUR CLOTHES. It's your mind. Your mind is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU HAVE. AND YOU GOT TO CONTROL IT. I don't CARE WHAT'S HAPPENING. YOU HAVE TO CONTROL IT. When you leave, WHAT YOU FIGHTING FOR? WHAT'S YOUR LEGACY? WHAT YOU GOING TO DO? You say you a champ, but do you practice like a champ? You say you a champ, do you fight like a champ? You say you a champ, do you have a mentality of

a champ? Champions keep going when they don't have anything left in their tank. When they don't have no more, when it's over, When they're tired, when they're frustrated, when they're ready to give up, when they spent their last dime, that's when they get started. It's when you have nothing left. It's when you depleted all your money. When all your energy gone, that's when it's showtime. When you find the way out of nowhere. When you find breath that you don't have. When you find energy that did not exist. When you want this thing as bad as

you want to breathe. That's when you Find a way. You go after and you give it all you have. If you lose, at least you try. Man, I failed. It's 10 times more of a man than someone said what if. Cuz what if never went to the arena? In life, it's not the genetic guy who wins with the guy with the most potential that wins. It's a person with the greatest perseverance that wins. Always willing to get up and go at it again. Go ahead again. That's the guy who has his hand Raised later in

life, guys. That's the guy you guys need to be. Every true leader, they're called weird. They're called eccentric. When you do the things of real leadership, you're going to be called strange. Get strong enough in your own skin that when people laugh at you or when they throw stones at you, you keep on going. What are you going to do now? How are you going to control that now? How are you going to flip it upside down and say, "Roger That. Now I'm going to harness this [ __ ] and you'll read about me years

from now." Everybody who rolled you in the past, they going to have to feel you. They going to have to see you. Don't get even. Don't worry about getting even when you already beat the odds. You want to make a dream come true, you got to stay focused. Some people rather get even than get ahead. Stay focused on where you want to go. I just kept on doing what I was supposed to do. You Have to be relentless. You have to never let off the gas. Never stop. Never quit. Never allow anyone to talk you

out of the dream, the vision, and ideas that God has sent you. WE ALL GET KNOCKED OUT. I'VE HAD MY HATERS. I've had people who've come against me, who try to sabotage me. I'm like the lion. I'm not the gazelle. I don't need something external TO MOTIVATE ME. I FIND SOMETHING WITHIN. LIFE GOING TO WHIP YOUR BUTT. LIFE IS GOING TO BULLY YOU. Stop whining. STOP CRYING. NOBODY CARES. BE DEMANDING. LET IT HIT YOU. But don't let it punk you. Stop letting people affect your day. Affect your life. Affect the outcome of what's going to

happen to you. Waste no more effort wrestling with other people. Your destiny, your future is not predicated on the decision of someone else. You're wasting too much of your life TRYING TO CHANGE OTHER PEOPLE'S minds about you. It doesn't matter what They think about you. It matter how you see yourself. The fulfillment of your dreams lies within you and you alone. When you understand and accept this, then nothing or no one can deny you greatness. Everybody say you don't read well enough. You're not a critical thinker. I'm not. When I'm a beast, you ain't got

to be smart. When you a beast, YOU AIN'T GOT TO BE THE MOST TALENTED. WHEN YOU A BEAST, YOU AIN'T GOT TO BE THE MOST TALENTED. WHEN YOU GOT THAT DOG, I'm going to fail. I'm going to fail. I'm going to fail. I'm going to fail and I will succeed. I'm going to make myself good enough. And I'm obsessed. I want to prove people wrong. While they talk, you keep working. While they gossip behind your back, you keep working. And at the end of it all, they will lose. And you will win. What if all

of us took that attitude after we face a rejection and a no or we have a MEETING AND NO ONE SHOWS UP OR SOMEBODY SAY YOU CAN COUNT ON ME AND THEY DON'T COME THROUGH. WHAT IF WE have that kind of attitude? The cause repossessed. Nobody believes in you. You've lost again and again and again. THE LIGHTS ARE CUT OFF BUT YOU STILL LOOKING AT YOUR DREAM REVIEWING IT EVERY day and SAY TO YOURSELF, "IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN. LIFE WILL YIELD TO YOU and I'll go to war for what I want. I will

go to war for what I love. So I won't stand out. So if you get in my way, I will either Step on you or step over you. This is your territory. This is your turf. This is your field. This is your court. This is your home. Protect what's yours. There is a difference between passion and obsession. When you're passionate, everybody cheers you on. They're stoked for you. Oh, you found your passion. Awesome. Follow your passion. Live with passion. Be passionate. Chase your passions. Everything like passion, passion, passion, passion. Passion is Good. Like the world's

going to be like, "Yay, passion." When you're obsessed, they're like, "Why you got to be so crazy?" Why can't you be satisfied? Why do you always got to get things so perfect? Why do you spend so much time? When you're obsessed, people think you're nuts. So, it's different. If no one thinks you're crazy, you're not yet operating to the outer limits of your potential. You're not there yet. Because somebody in your life should say, "Man, You really care about this in like a crazy." >> It's time to stay focused. It's time to decide clubs, partying,

trying to fit in and socialize, rub elbows with everybody so people can stop calling you weird. Why are you so antisocial? Because I'm trying to get it. Why are you staying on the basketball court so much? Because I'm trying to get it. Why are you not clubbing? Like every time I text you and invite you to go do something fun and Cool, you always study it because I'm trying to get. The more weird you are is a reflection of how committed you are to focusing on your molding and shaping and developing your ideas and your

craft so that when it's time for you to make your rounds, you going to fly. You still got work to do. Stay on that basketball court. Stay on that football field. All the homies texting and calling and trying to make you feel bad about being so focused. It's grind season, homie. I'm obsessed with improvement. Every day I'm getting better. There are those of you with phones and every new phone that comes out, you get it. Every upgrade you get it. Every piece of software you get it. YOU ARE UPGRADING YOUR TECHNOLOGY AND YOU'VE NOT UPGRADED

YOURSELF. So listen to me. There are those of you saying, "I want to be A MILLIONAIRE. I WANT TO BE THE BEST AT THIS COMPANY." RIGHT? BUT YOUR VALUE system says you believe in sleep more than you believe In grinding. YOUR VALUE SYSTEM SAYS YOU ARE A CONSUMER AND NOT A PRODUCER. If you're going to go to the next level, your values are going to have to change. We do not retreat. WE DO NOT GIVE UP. WE DO NOT SURRENDER. And the reason why most of you are not successful IS BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE TIME STUFF

NOT GOING YOUR WAY, YOU GIVE UP. YOU QUIT. YOU LET GO. And people feel weakness. They feel it. YOU CAN FEEL WHEN SOMEBODY'S NOT COMMITTED, when they're Not all in, when they're not dedicated. And there's another level you get to when you go ALL IN. 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 believe it. When you cannot see it, you got to be possessed with the dream. Keep going after the dream because that's

where true success is. Look, I love to sugarcoat this thing for you. I love to tell you, look, you can Go out here and get rich, do a couple of things damn. You got to get real doggish. You got to get downright funky if you want to make it. If you want to be ordinary, you ain't even got to listen to me. Just go on about your business. But if you are sitting in this room and you have extraordinary aspirations, then you going to have to do extra. You put extra on top of ordinary and

you come up with Extraordinary. It's no other way. But here's the fact. All of you have extraordinary capabilities. All of you. You have to decide if you are willing to do the things to put you in that category. >> Push through pain enough and there's glory on the other side of it. But you got to get through it. I realized I was on the right path because it stopped being easy. I'm [ __ ] exhausted. I'm tired as but I'm not going to complain Because I asked for this. So, I'm going to smile with tireding

eyes and realize that everything I'm doing on a daily basis is for aing reason. When you want something, don't expect everybody to say, "Oh, you want this? Oh, great. We want to give this to you. You're such a nice person. You're doing it for your family, aren't you? Great." No. No. Life isn't like that. But that's how people look at success. They look at it like you do a few things. I ate right for Three days. Why am I not aing fitness model? I did my tasks that I needed to do. I sent five emails.

I called 10 people. Why am I not running a $10 million company? Because they don't understand what mastering the monotonous means. It means doing the most people are tooing undisiplined to do day in and day out with perfection. Doing it better than everybody else. doing it to the best of your ability and most people will give up. But you've got to decide That I'm going to be relentless. I refuse to be denied and I'm going to go all out. Effort is isolated. The reason why effort is isolated because nobody can dictate because that's all about

you. Effort is 100% in divine. That's what wins championships. That's what wins battles. Not shooters. You're an adult now. You're not kids no more. Do it. No girlfriend. Do it. TIRED OR NOT SHY? DO IT. YOU SAID YOU WAS GOING TO DO IT OUT YOUR MOUTH. YOU'RE A MAN NOW. And A MAN IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS WORD, NOT HIS EMOTIONS. We have to regain control of our mind. How you gain mental toughness, how you become the person you want to be is constantly facing the things that you don't want to face. The only

way anything gets accomplished, you got to work hard. I can't remember what the [ __ ] in this paragraph to pass this test to get in the military. Read again. Still not getting it? Read again. But if You're not getting it, write it out. And guess what happened? I got it. I can't swim. I'm negative buoyant. Go back again. I can't swim. Go back again. Go back again. Go back again. I got it. I realized if I keep going back and going back and going back, your mind was safe. Okay, we're going to figure it

out because he is not going to stop. To find real permanent peace, you first must go through suffering. You must go to the dark side of who you are. Every Day I demand more for myself than anybody else could possibly expect. I don't compete with other people. I compete with what I'm capable of. >> A person that's obsessed and wants to just get there. They don't give a what the temperature is. They no longer care cuz they know no matter what's out there, no matter if it's snowing, if it's a damn tropical storm, if it's

20 below, they don't care. They're going to run. It doesn't matter what the's out There, what's in front of me. I'm just going to go. And that's how you want to get your mind. You have to train your brain by doing things that make you uncomfortable consistently to build this mindset that when things get hard, we don't shy away. We don't quit. We attack. I'm seeing through all those walls. I'm getting to where I want to go. You have to literally visualize the connection between what you're doing on a dayby-day basis with what you're Wanting.

What do you want yourself to look like 10 years from now? What do you want your bank account to look like? What do you want to look like physically 6 months from now or a year from now? You have to connect the dots. You have to remind yourself that these little things that you do are going to lead to the big things. If you think that you've given everything, you really have. If you think you're working hard, you're not working hard enough. You can always Do more. You always have another gear, another level of performance.

You can always push a little bit harder, get up a little earlier, work a little longer, whatever it is you want more of. You have complete control over whether you get it or not. People don't have limits. We put limits on ourselves. Life is a war. And there are people out there and there are things out there that are trying to Take you down. Things are going to go wrong. And when things go wrong, it's pretty easy just to say, you know what, I'm going to stand down or I'm going to give up. And you

can do that. But I think no. I think no. I think keep fighting. And you keep fighting and you keep fighting and you keep fighting no matter what. And you never quit. You never never quit. And if you feel like your life is in a place where you can't get any lower and you don't think you can find any way out, good. Cuz that means the ultimate challenge is ahead of you. It means you can only go up. And it also means that things are going to be tough. Things are going to be tougher than

anything you can imagine. But that storm that you're in, from your perspective, it seems like that storm is enveloping the whole world. But I'm telling you, it is not. The storm that you're in, it is hard to see out of that storm. It's hard to see past it. It seems like the storm is everything. But the storm is not everything and it won't last forever. You can get out of the storm and you will get out of the storm. And when you get out, you're going to see the sun again. But right now, you're being

tried. You're being forged. You're being tested by fire and by pain. That's the test. Don't fail the test. Don't fail the test. Don't give in. Don't quit. Don't ever quit. Fight on. Fight through the storm. Fight through the pain. and come out the other side stronger and tougher and better. A fighter, a survivor, a winner, victorious, And free from that storm. Free from the darkness. free. Life can be hard, but you know what? It's the one life you've got. So go and live a life that in the end allows you to look back and say,

"Hell yes, I do it all again. There's a war going on. Good versus evil. Light against darkness. Truth against lies. I'm talking about the war in your head. Are you going to say you want to want to do something? do it for two weeks and then quit like you did last year, like you did the year before last. You say you want to lose weight, get in shape, get your business off the ground, and then turn around and party, get lit, drink alcohol, eat like crap, and continue to live below who you were Created to

be. No. No. Make a declaration to yourself. Declare allout war that you're going to get out of this rut. >> Be the hero of your own movie. If your life was a movie and it started now, what would the hero of your life's movie do right now? Do that. Do those things. Write down your goals. Write down things you want to improve. Write down things you won't tolerate from yourself. Write down things you've done in the past you Never want to see yourself do again. And go forth from here as the hero of your own

movie. Every day is a new day, a new week, a new shot at life. an opportunity to come out of the gate like a man possessed and attack the day without mercy. Today I'm taking scalps. I'm putting the pressure on. I am the aggressor. I am on the attack because I will not stop. If you can't stick to something for fiveing days, you deserve to have a Shitty life. You deserve to get your ass kicked. You deserve to be miserable. We're not talking about 50 years. We're not talking about the five years it probably takes

to build something worthwhile. We're not talking about the five months it could take for you to lose 100 pounds. We're talking about fiveing days and you can't even stick to it for that. So what the do you think you deserve? You deserve exactly what you get. Think about all the people that Say, "Man, one day if I have this, I'm going to do this." What do you mean if you have this? Why don't you go out and make iting happen? The comfort zone is dangerous. When you're comfortable, you are at most danger. You should never

feel comfortable. You should be happy and dissatisfied. But anybody ever tell you, "Hey, look, you know what? Just be satisfied with what you got." DON'T BELIEVE THEM. GET THEM AWAY FROM YOU. NEVER BE SATISFIED with what you got Because the attempt to get more makes you into something better all the time. You should double your business. Triple it. I don't negotiate with myself. I don't go, "Oh, wait. I'm not ready. Let me count to 10 or maybe I'll do it tomorrow. There's nothing with me. I say what you do. I'm not here to discuss this

[ __ ] with my mind. And when I say jump, youing jump. Cuz when you get your blood pushing, when you push beyond what's comfortable, it develops this Determination inside you, this sense of will. And when you do that regularly, you're going to have a different world. >> You have to learn to do what you don't want to do. Learn to bring that savage mentality out of yourself. The anim animalistic mother. You think establishing yourself about how he feels or how he feels. They just do it. Learn to be your best self when you're least

motivated. Stop looking for a feeling to control what goes on in your life. The real challenge of growth mentally, emotionally, and spiritually comes when you get knocked down. How you handle it, that's where the growth takes place. >> Life's going to punch you right in the face. Life's going to fire you over and over again. You're going to be told you're not good enough. Your faith is going to be tested. Your family is going to look you in the eye and say, "How do we got health insurance the next month?" I don't know. But I

know we're going to make it. Life is hard, man. That's what it's about. Life is a challenge if you don't work as hard as you can. If you don't sacrifice everything, if you don't get rejected and keep coming back for more, if you don't get your loyalty tested and your faith tested, you don't love that thing. if you bail out. So if you fought through all that, that's love. >> Your greatest moment, your greatest owl Will be right after your worst hour to spare. Because in that worst hour to spare, who are you? Who's talking

inside? Is there anything left? You're at the bottom of the barrel. No place to go but up. That's the voice that carries your weak ass everyone said goodbye to and left to get the up finest fort to stand back up in a cloudy day until the sun comes out. That is your finest hour. >> Listen to me everybody. You can't give up. You can't give in. If it was easy, Everybody would do it. BUT IF LIFE'S GOT YOU DOWN, I need you to get up and prove them wrong. I had no advantages. But I woke

up one day and realized all men are created equal. I don't need none. I'm my advantage. YOU YOUR ADVANTAGE. WHY YOU WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO CALL YOU? WHY YOU WAITING FOR SOMEBODY to affirm you? Why you waiting for somebody tell you got a dream or goal? Why you wait for somebody to take you by your hand and Give you what's rightfully yours? However much money you make, whatever kind of life you have, that's yours. And so when I speak to you, I speak from the pain of taking 12 years to get a four-ear degree. I

speak to you as a failure WHO HAD TO GET BACK UP EVERY SINGLE DOG ON TIME AND SAY, "BRUSH IT OFF AND KEEP GOING." And so I've been through what you've been through. And I got up and I kept going. It is the SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DARK. I AIN'T SMART. I AIN'T NEVER GOT ALL A'S. I ain't never graduated top of my class. I ain't never BEEN THE MAN. BUT I GOT HEARTS. I GOT WILL. AND I GO TAKE EVERYTHING I WANT. AND CAN'T NOBODY STOP ME. BRING ON THE FIGHT. AND I'LL

MATCH YOUR INTENSITY. I WILL MATCH YOUR FIGHT. AND YOU WILL NOT outlast me. And the time is now. The secret of your success is determined by what we do daily. Make every day your masterpiece. So right now, what do you want to change? What's it really like? What do I really want in depth? What are the rituals that will get me there? And then get yourself to start a few of those actions and lock them in place. >> Just get today done today. Don't worry about tomorrow. Don't worry about yesterday. Just today, I want to

back everything up with action. Always, always back it up with movement. Don't talk about working out. You can do it all day, but do it. And so many people, a man, I'm going to do this. I'm And man, I said, man, well, why haven't you? Why aren't you? And so everything you see me doing, I just said, I'm going. I'm trying. I'm going for it. I don't care and we'll see what happens. I want my 95year-old self to say you did the right thing. >> It's time to stop making your excuses. It's time to start

taking advantage of The world we live in today and all the opportunities that are staring you in the face. You do have the time. You do have the money. You do have the energy. You just need to decide. Decide that you want it bad enough. And admit the truth, which is nothing, nothing in this world is free. Admit that you can have anything you want. But it's going to be hard work. Admit that you are the only reason that you are where you are. And you are the only reason that you ain't Where you want

to be. Take responsibility and accept it. You got to go get it now. Now is the time. Now is your moment. Not tomorrow. Not next week, but right here, right now. It's your time to decide that you can, you will, you must. And start making some changes. Far too many of you worry way too much about other people and not enough about your selves. You know how you get good at business? You worry about your own [ __ ] You know how you get good at your job? You worry about your own [ __ ]

You know how you get in good shape? You don't worry about how many reps the other motherucker in the gym is doing. You worry about how many reps you're [ __ ] doing. If you're going to run a business, do you think I sit in the back room and talk to my key guys about what everybody else is doing? No, I don't [ __ ] care. I don't care what anybody Else is doing. I care what we're doing. I care if we're making the calls. I care if we're providing value. I care if we're making

the best products. I don't give a [ __ ] if anybody else is doing that. I care if we're doing that. And you know what? That's how you become a leader. That's how you become the industry leader because you're not following anybody else's lead. You're innovating a unique path of your own. When you spend your energy focusing on What other people are doing instead of executing on your own opportunities, you are setting yourself up to fail time and time again. And this goes against what society is, right? Society is all about gossip. It's all about

talk. It's all about who's doing what. It's never about worrying about what you're doing. Go to aing bar. What's everybody talk about? What their company's doing? What their boss is doing, what their co-workers are doing, what their aunt's doing, what Their mom's doing, what their dad's doing. Nobodying cares and it doesn't [ __ ] matter. That's why you don't see successful people hanging out with people like that because they worry about their own [ __ ] They worry about their own actions. They worry about what they execute on and they worry about how they can

get better at it. YOU SHOULD BE GRINDING and you looking at the score. THE SCORE IS WHAT IT IS. THE SCORE AIN'T ABOUT TO CHANGE CUZ YOU LOOKED AT IT. KEEP PLAYING the game. Keep grinding. Keep working. AND THAT OTHER STUFF WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF. AND let me tell you something. I don't know if I'm NUMBER ONE OR NOT. And I won't know. I won't go look at that list. Why? Cuz I'm too busy grinding. And some of you should be busy practicing and you staring at yourself in the mirror. And many of you

cannot get to your level of success. You cannot get to dominance because you are worried about everything that's coming in your Ear. GUYS, you got to learn TO KILL THE NOISE. WHO CARES WHAT THEY SAY? DOMINANCE. Who cares what they think? Dominance. Listen to me. Nothing perceives like possess. LONG JOURNEY, LONG DARK NIGHT. BUT WHEN YOU HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAM, DON'T LET ANYBODY KILL IT IN YOU. JUST HOLD ON TO THAT DREAM WHEN IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ANYBODY, INCLUDING YOU SOMETIMES. JUST HOLD ON. ONCE YOU GIVE YOURSELF AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRY AND TO

STRETCH, YOU'LL FIND OUT YOU CAN DO MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER BEGIN TO IMAGINE. >> The first level to success in life, the very first level is you seeing it like it's clear to you. YOU KNOW EXACTLY what you want. You know exactly when you want it. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT TASTES LIKE. YOU KNOW WHAT IT LOOK LIKE. Before you really BLOW UP, BLOW UP and you get success. You literally have IT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND WITHOUT having it. What does your DREAM LOOK LIKE? WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE? WHAT DOES IT

TASTE LIKE? THE PROBLEM WITH SOME OF Y'ALL IS YOU WANT SOMEBODY ELSE to support your dream. It's yours. I DON'T OWE YOU A DIVE. IT'S YOUR DREAM. IF YOU WANTED to have it, get your butt up and make it happen. If you wanted TO HAVE IT, RISE AND GRIND. I ain't put my dream on nobody else. And I don't care what nobody think about my dog on dream. THIS MY TIME. This my moment. Tomorrow. TOMORROW. TOMORROW. AIN'T no such thing as tomorrow. We only got today. It's necessary that you be patient. It's necessary that you

take a stand, that you dig in. It's necessary TO KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE SOME DIFFICULT TIMES. I KNOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE SOME BLOWS. Find out how strong I am. CAN I STAND UP? I KNOW I'M GOING TO EXPERIENCE SOME REJECTION AND DISAPPOINTMENT. I KNOW THERE GOING TO BE SOME HARD DECISIONS TO MAKE that things are GOING TO BE SO UNCERTAIN THAT I'M GOING TO FEEL OVERWHELMED AND FEEL LIKE I CAN'T HANDLE IT. I KNOW I KNOW I'M GOING TO EXPERIENCE ALL OF THAT. WHY? IT'S NECESSARY. IT'S A PART OF LIFE. IT'S

CALLED LIFE. ALL OF that will create you to a certain kind of person that as you go through that experience what you become in the process that you'll discover A PART OF YOU THAT THAT YOU DID NOT know was there. Don't Cry to give up. Cry to keep going. Don't cry to quit. You already IN PAIN. YOU ALREADY HURT. GET A REWARD from it. Don't go to sleep until you succeed. It's about heart. You got to have heart. Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a

year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever. I dare you to take a little pain. I dare you. I dare you not to go home. Somebody Said, "If I don't go home, I feel bad." Go throw it. You ain't going to die at the end of pain. a success. >> There is not a day that I get out of bed, there is not aing day that I wake up that I don't feel like going back to sleep or that I don't have anxiety

about what my day is going to bring and I'm nervous and I'm scared and I'm like, "All right, what do I got to handle today?" And you know what I do? I wake up and I go handle it. >> Ideas are dime a dozen. People say, "Oh, I got a great idea." Everybody's got a great idea. The real question is, can you execute? Can you get yourself to follow through? That's the only way that you're going to expand. Making a freaking plan is the easy part. And you have to understand, if you don't execute on

the plan, if you don't get up in the morning when you're feeling tired, scared, if you don't execute, you're not just Cheating yourself, dude. You're cheating your family. You're cheating your employees. You're cheating your team. Whatever you're a part of, it's bigger than you. Man, >> many of you have given control of your life to your feelings. You got to take back control right now. You must harden your [ __ ] mind. You got to discipline yourself. When it's time to rise, youing rise. When it's time to work, you [ __ ] work. Regardless of

how you Feel, you got to execute on your mission. You don't give yourself the option to take it easy. You don't make excuses. You don't blame anything, any person, because this is your life. You're the one who's responsible. Do you think Michael Jordan was interested in just being a basketball player? Do you think Kobe Bryant was just interested in winning championships? Do you think Tom Brady is just interested in being an NFL quarterback? Your mindset has to change Right now. Interested is a [ __ ] hobby. That's what interested is. That means you can't make

a decision. If you want to win, you want what's next, you can't be interested. You have to be obsessed. Winners don't cut corners. Winners don't avoid problems. Winners don't make excuses. Winners do whatever the they've got to do to be a winner. Don't wait till tomorrow cuz tomorrow may never come. Start today. Start now. Start being who you're supposed to be and doing what you're supposed to do now. Time is running out on you. There are only 86,400 seconds in a day. And you got to not only operate in them, you got to do it

fast. You have to quit being so casual. You got to work like your life depends on it because it does. Things just don't go your way. That's not the way the world works. You got to make them go your way. Think things are going to just Go your way. Well, they're not going to just go your way. You think things are going to just happen for you? Well, they're not just going to happen for you. You got to make them happen. Guess what? That's the way life is. You don't have enough time. You got to

make time. It's not just going to happen. You got to make it happen. Go make things happen. Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and Intelligent execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives. Choice, not chance, determines your destiny. When you said, "I'm allin." Were you really all in? Let me tell you what the cost of being allin is. Early mornings, late nights, being misunderstood, having very few friends, being your own cheerleader. Are you those things? People always talk about, "Oh, you know, you got to work

smarter and not harder." No, you got to work Smarter and you got to work harder. >> There's no shortcuts, no hacks. It's hard work, determination, and grit. Stop looking for the easy ways and start believing in the process. >> You want to win? Make movement. Move forward. Go [ __ ] execute. Go [ __ ] work. Because it's not in the dreaming, it's in the doing. If you stay in bed, if you stay on the couch, if you stay in your comfort zone, if you only do what is easy, your life will be hard. But

if You do what is hard if you get up, if you grind, if you are relentless, if you work as hard as possible when other people are slacking off, your life will be easy. But if you're willing to take the harder way, the more complicated one, the one with more failures at first than successes, the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning, more victory, more glory, then you will not regret it. Whatever you choose for a career path, remember the struggles Along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose. It's

a dog fight. My wife three years ago, seven legions found on her brain. IT'S A DOG FIGHT. IT HADN'T BEEN EASY. IT'S A DOG FIGHT. IT HADN'T BEEN THE ROAD HADN'T BEEN SUCCESS. LIKE IT'S JUST A PAVED ROAD AND LIKE ET GO THIS WAY. IT'S BEEN ROUGH. IT'S BEEN CROOKED. IT'S BEEN HARD. BUT I'VE MADE UP IN MY MIND THAT I WILL GET A REWARD FOR THE PAIN THAT I GO THROUGH. I WILL NOT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROCESS. I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED. I WILL NOT BE DESTROYED. I WILL TAKE EVERYTHING THAT

HAPPENS IN MY LIFE AND I WILL ALLOW THE PAIN TO PUSH ME TO GRAVITATE. YOU WILL NOT BREAK ME. YOU WILL NOT STOP ME. YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT ME. THE ONLY WAY I LOSE IS IF I QUIT. IT'S GOING TO BE A DOG FIGHT. AND SO IF YOU READY TO QUIT, THEN DON'T GET STARTED. IF YOU READY TO QUIT, DON'T GET STARTED. IF YOU LOOKING FOR THIS EASY PATH, DON'T GET STARTED. IF YOU THINK THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CLOSE THE DOOR ON YOU AND SAY NO A MILLION TIMES, DON'T GET STARTED. BUT EVERY TIME THEY

CLOSE THE DOOR, I JUST GET EXCITED. WHY? Cuz I am not a no. I'M ONE YES AWAY. YOU CAN'T KEEP TELLING ME NO FOREVER. YOU CAN'T KEEP DENYING ME FOREVER. This type of energy, this type of passion, YOU CAN'T STOP IT. YOU CAN CONTAIN IT FOR A WHILE, BUT YOU CANNOT STOP. THIS IS LIFE and you can't DEFEAT ME. YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER. YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY. YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH TO STOP THIS. Your pain ain't permanent. IT MIGHT LAST FOR A SECOND. IT MIGHT LAST FOR A MINUTE. IT MIGHT LAST FOR

AN HOUR. IT MIGHT LAST FOR A WEEK. IT MIGHT LAST for a day. It might last for months. But sooner or later, if you do not surrender, if you DO NOT GIVE UP, IF YOU DO NOT GIVE IN, it will subside. Listen to me. You can talk like a victim. You can act like a victim. Or you could be a victor. And you can say, "Despite the odds, I will defy the odds." We going to work through this. You going to get up. You going to get dressed. You going to get out and you going

to do what you've been called to do. You going to be what you called and you going to prove to everybody that tried TO BREAK YOU. EVERYBODY that tried to kill your dream, you going to prove all of them wrong. What will you do with your pain, WILL YOU LET IT BREAK you or will you let it redefine you? You've got To continue to work on yourself personally. You've got to decide to be relentless. You've got to decide never TO GIVE UP. YOU'VE GOT TO find some reasons within yourself that will give you the stamina

when life catches you on the blind SIDE TO GET BACK UP AGAIN to keep on calling AND COMING BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. You going to quit or you going to make it to your goal? You going to quit or you going to make it to yourself? Are you going to quit or You going to stand there and do what you got to do to make your dreams become a reality? You have to be disciplined every single day and train yourself to follow through on all your fundamentals and that's how you're going to be

successful. You have to do it when you don't feel like it. You have to do it when you feel discouraged. You have to do it when YOU DON'T FEEL HEALTHY. YOU have to do it when you're under the weather. Every single day, you have to Train yourself to focus and commit to your business and follow through.
