The problems of failure. The problems of discouragement. Of hopelessness, of hunger.
Things go wrong. We all get knocked down. In every aspect of life.
There will come a time when you will hit a certain piece of adversity. You will hit a certain piece of opposition. And your strength alone won't do it.
You will have to pull from another place. You will have to have a why. Because you will hit this piece of adversity and son, it will crush you.
It will make you quit. It will make you give up. It will make you not want to get up in the morning if you don't have another source to pull from.
And so you have to train yourself mentally. You have to train yourself physically. So you can be strong in every aspect of your life.
Because the thing about life, somebody is depending on all of us to keep going. When everybody is against you or don't believe in you no more. And let me tell you something, that's a lonely feeling.
Oh, it hurts very badly. I know what that's like. Have people that you love close to you that look at you with that look and say, why don't you try something else?
Why don't you give up? When you face the world and all of your negative, toxic family members and friends will knock the wind out of you. When you break down and you're going to break down, when you go back to the fiery furnaces of this world, when you find yourself getting weak and losing control, what is it that can keep you on a straight and narrow?
What are the reasons? Write down five compelling reasons. of why are you going to keep your commitment to change your life?
Keep your commitment never to go back to the life that you once lived. Keep your commitment to creating wealth for yourself, to taking care of your children, to be more responsible. Keep your commitment to live a life of contribution.
To keep your commitment to be a conqueror and to act like it. And to have authority and dominion over everything in your life. What are those reasons?
If life knocks you down, try and land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Your reasons will help you to get back up again.
There'll be a rod and staff to comfort you. If you're ready to quit, you're ready to give up, you're ready to give in, you're ready to tell me what's not working, who doing this, what's wrong, if you're not ready to get up every day and start all over again, like nothing happened yesterday, if you're soft, you want to get out now. I'm human just like everybody else, but let me tell you why I won't fall.
I will not give up 20 years of grind, I will not put all this in for 20 years and give it up overnight. I work too hard. If you thought for one minute that you broke me, you got me twisted.
I am not phenomenally skilled, but phenomenally willed. I will not give up. I will not surrender.
I will not quit. And your problem is you're giving up too easy. Some of you can quit because you ain't paid for nothing.
I dare you to take a little pain. You ain't going to die. At the end of pain is success.
You're not going to die because you feeling a little pain. It's going to be a fight. At some point, you got to go take the life out of it.
Go get it. Don't run from it no more. Go get it.
You go in there and go get that grade. You go in there and get that information so you can pass that class. You got to go get it.
I don't need you thinking about it no more. You're doing too much thinking. You analyze it too much.
You talking yourself out of it. I just need you to keep moving. I need you to make up in your mind that the only way you can lose is if you quit.
And I just need you to keep going. E, I had a meltdown in class. You might have a couple more before success.
It's a part of the game. You can't be successful without some meltdowns. Struggle for another year and a half and be free for the rest of your life.
Or you can say I'm tired of struggling and stop struggling and struggle for the next 20, 30 years. Press past it. Come on.
Stop whining and crying and give it up. Press past it. It's going to hurt.
Yes. Ask any mother that's had a child. It's probably feel like they gonna die.
But guess what? They get through it. And on the other side, when that child comes out, they forget all about the pain.
Your dream counting on you, push. Ain't nobody about to give you no cookies and ice cream. Push.
It's alive. It's inside. How do you know?
You feel it. You dream about it. You eat and sleep and every day.
When people talk to you, you tell them, this is what I'm gonna do, so push. Just push past the pain. Push.
Don't quit. Don't give up. Push.
And you push your way to success. You push yourself to the next level. Work while you wait.
You don't know how long it's going to take. But if you stop now, if you quit now, the one thing I can tell you is for certain it is never gonna happen. Delay don't mean denied.
Delay just mean you going to have to wait a minute. When the unsuccessful are in delay, they get nervous. They get worried.
They give up. They quit. They stop.
They surrender. 'Cause they don't see what they think they should see. But when the successful and delay, we work while we wait.
We grind in between time. We don't give up. We don't surrender.
We don't quit. We see differently. Our perspective is different.
And because our perspective is different, our outcomes are different. Our rewards are different. There's times where you're going to have to do it alone.
There's not going to be any team support. There's not going to be any family support. There's not going to be a friend support.
There's going to be times where you've got to go and do it yourself and you got to do it alone. And those are the times that make a difference. Those are the times that count.
Those are the times where you have to dig deep yourself to get the job done. And if you can make that happen, you will win.
