every time you have changed you feel pain you stepped out of one relationship to another and you feel pain you leave one neighborhood to another and you feel pain you go from one job to another and you feel the fire of transition see change as growth see change as transformation see change as Evolution see change as necessary see change as critical see change as inevitable do something stop beinging scared if you have not jumped on the bandwagon of doing exactly what the you want to do which is skiing for the next 3 years or working
at a job that's not what your parents want or what Society wants do something stop beinging scared and so enough enough parents the kid that's sitting right now at a desk and saw this in a feed and you hate your job enough stand up get the out of here and do you live your life you got one life and so if you're not willing to be a fool then you'll never start anything new and if you never start anything new then you won't develop and so the willingness to be a fool is the precursor to
transformation and that's the same as humility and so if you're going to write your destiny you can do a bad first job you're going to get smarter As you move forward when you can learn to do things when you don't want to when you don't feel like it when you're tired when you can learn to push yourself to do them that's when the world opens up to you that's when success knocks at your door there will never come a time when you can just happily Coast through life it's hard to stay governed by anxiety it's
hard to be inconsistent it's hard not to have daily disciplines it's hard not to believe in yourself it's hard to be broke it's hard to be poor it's hard it's all hard so choose your heart what I am telling you to do is chase after that version of yourself that you know you could be what happens when I decide for myself that I'm going to do something [Music] different you've got the gift of life you have the privilege of being here quit playing small you were meant to do great thanks nothing changes if nothing changes
man I got one question to ask you can you do this thing alone I've trained 99% of my life alone no one packed me on the back I did all of the work alone wolves don't lose sleep over the opinions of a Les species be alone go to that dark space you may not want to fight that battle but you need to a beast is someone who can go through hell and be grateful that their legs are working what are you are you a sheep or are you a wolf when you train alone I can
take myself to such a level of real real passion in purpose nobody's going to feed us you got to feed yourself the feeling I get is something I can't expect I don't need anyone it's on you you got to want it as bad as you want to breathe success starts with you it's all on you if you want to be strong you got to learn to fight alone yes you're tired yes your mind is saying give up yes it's saying quit but you cannot quit because you realize you have not reached the goal yet day
in and day out you got to keep on working and if you're getting knocked down so what rise up and get up nobody's going to believe in you until you've already done it nobody's going to come and celebrate with you until you've already done which means you're going to have to work for a long time by yourself with no applause with no award WS no one's going to believe in you in the beginning nor should they be okay with it if I have to do it alone I will start alone but get started it doesn't
matter how hard you work I'm willing to work harder than you I know every ain't going to do what I'm going to do I say level up stop being average when your potential is crying to come outside of be more than that no one will outwork me no one it's so easy to be great nowadays my friend cuz most people are weak most people don't want to go to that extra mile most people don't want to find that extra cuz it sucks of course Talent without work is nothing you got to be hungry people that
are hungry are willing to do the things today others won't do there's no excuse not to be the hardest mothering worker in the room you have to want [Music] it I would rather tell the world what I've done than what I'm going to do there's enough people talking just make the move and don't talk until it's it's time for the Checkmate move in silence one of the most underrated superpowers on Earth is moving in silence thinking in silence caucusing in silence meditating praying working on your craft doing the dark work behind the scenes where nobody
can see it nobody can congratulate you nobody can affirm you nobody can celebrate you I'm doing this thing not to be celebrated I'm doing this thing not to be noticed and acknowledged and supported I'm doing this thing because if I don't do this I'm not going to achieve what it is that I'm after this is the power of moving in silence if I'm going to move in silence I've got to know how to plan in silence and think in silence and meditate and pray and put the work in behind the scenes [Music] nobody can see
it but me every rising star that you see every innovator and Trailblazer and Creator and philanthropist and Minister and business person or athlete or Entertainer we see them at this height but we don't see the work you were not there when they cried and they bled and they sweat and they almost quit and they almost threw in the towel and they were left alone to continue the work to pray to believe to think to caucus to plan it out and then execute and come back and shock everybody I'm not going to say a word until
I win I'm not posting about it I'm not trying to prep you you don't need a trailer I'm going to make an announcement that I won not that I'm working but I won Checkmate Checkmate somebody shout Checkmate somebody dropping in the comments Checkmate move in [Music] silence drop it in the comments Checkmate Checkmate Checkmate you talked about me you doubted me you deserted me you left me for dead watch me Checkmate and I'm going do it in silence as a matter of fact I'm not going to say a word until I win there are seasons
in life where we get to that need to be played and lived out like a chess gate don't talk until it's time a chess player does not talk until the time has come to the Checkmate man drop it in the check checkmate Checkmate Checkmate stop talking about everything you going to do Checkmate successful people have Master the art of spending time alone they understand the power and The Leverage points when I get time with myself and I get in my head and I get in my heart and I understand my behaviors and my belief systems
and my parameters and what I need to do and how I need to sew and where I need to send my energy and how I need to execute in the day they understand it's a superpower but everybody doesn't need to know what you're doing and this is why we have so many copycats and knockoffs and counterfeits and frauds because you brought people along with you that were not in your inner circle along throughout your process while you were building it instead of just revealing it after it was already done because this is the type of
season I'm about to step into you talked about me you doubted me you deserted me you left me for dead watch me Checkmate and I'mma do it in silence as a matter of fact I'm not going to say a word until I win just show up and be finished with it stop telling the world every step of the process and you haven't won yet win win win and after you win then let them interview you let the contracts drop on the table let the documentary come out but when without a word and when you win
Checkmate Checkmate Checkmate understand your limitations what are your strengths what are your weaknesses where are you losing where are you winning how do you need to change your beliefs to align with the correct behaviors what type of behaviors and parameters and values do you need to have established and hardwired within yourself who do I need to become to accomplish what it is I've been destined to do when you spend that time alone and you can think and you can pray and you can meditate and everybody's not in your mix you're able to grow something that
could leave a legacy and impact the lives of millions of people never underestimate the power of getting alone with your yourself and getting dialed in with what you've been called to do and then how you're going to go about doing it often times we find the person who's living paycheck to paycheck doesn't want to think they just want to work and get paid it's the Millionaires and billionaires and sixf figure earners and networkers and busy bees and people that are out there shaking hands stepping into rooms and arenas us Building Products creating opportunity innovators troublers
these are the people that have spent time alone thinking about what it is they've been called to do and how they're going to execute they moved in silence they thought alone they prayed alone just for a moment just for a season nothing wrong with getting together with friends and family and having some a corporate construct but there is an unfair Advantage when I can get along with myself and I can talk to myself in the here and tell myself self you got stuff to do self you have things to become self there are ways you
have to go about this and you need to be flexible you need to be agile is God first in my house or nothing else we start to establish our values and we start to understand ourselves and What Makes Us tick everybody doesn't need to know all the moving parts and the pain and the tears and the sacrifices that you have made just show up on stage and win and after you win then you can talk talk about how you wanton if your dream only requires you then it's not big enough it starts with you but
it doesn't end with you your team is coming drop it in the comments man my team is coming but it starts with me my team is coming but it starts with me my team is coming but it starts with me today we got to ghost everyone anyone that ever doubted us anyone that ever lied to us and told us that they believe in our vision we got to reset we live in a culture of busyness distraction and noise and sometimes the only way something's going to change is if we disappear we got to focus on
the reason why we started everything why we woke up early in the morning to grind while we cried those tears when we wanted the world to say yes but everyone continued to say no you see you got to forget about the dollars can you unplug from people's ideas from people's agendas from people's viewpoints and perspective of you and life can you unplug forget about the dollars that told you that you didn't have what it take to be the greatest you got to reset what if you could just shut out every distraction what if you could
just shut out the world for just a season and focus on you you have to disappear and put the work in and come back and shock everybody that doubted you you got to understand the power of being alone let's go back into the darkness where all the greatness was created where all the motivation was created let's get back to the beginning because only then will you hear the thoughts of the greats we celebrate athletes and we celebrate critical thinkers and innovators and actors and we praise them and coin them our heroes and we follow them
by the millions we love what they do in public but you don't know the story behind The Glory you don't know the Blood The Sweat you didn't see the tears that they cried the prayers that they prayed the countless weeks where they went without sleep to get where they are I'm just wondering if there's anybody here that is willing to go through the process in the dark room that prepares us and equips us for the stages of [Music] Destiny rise let's ghost everyone you got to get back to that child that child that wanted to
dream that wanted to chase everything the world told him that he couldn't have yes we got to reset we're surrounded by the noise we're surrounded by the social media the Instagram all of these things that give us no fulfillment and the reason why you feel this way is because you've been surrounded by negativity you've been surrounded by individuals that call themselves your friend but in all reality they're just another energy drainer to just another person that wants to tell you you that you cannot accomplish your dreams because they failed at every obstacle they ever tried
to defeat let's go back into that hole let's go back into the darkness some of the most Monumental and transformational portraits and pictures that we've ever seen were developed in the dark room I'm talking to the A I'm talking to that administrator I'm talking to that nurse that doctor I'm talking to that student I'm talking to that Communicator I'm talking to that Pioneer that inventor I'm talking to that entrepreneur I'm talking to that preacher I'm talking to that person who refuses to stay where they are I'm talking to that person that doesn't have a problem
laying in obscurity because you know that when you come out of the dark room all eyes on [Music] you rise from that ghost State a new man and a new woman on its journey to Greatness why are you here what is your [Music] destiny I got a question what will you do when no one is watching what will you do when no one is listening that's the only time that we'll be able to bring something to this world that had never seen before one of the greatest challenging with disappearing is understanding the revelation of building
in the dark The Secret of change is to focus all of our energy not on fighting the old but building the new and specifically behind closed doors when nobody's looking when no one is there to affirm you when nobody's there to validate you when nobody is there to agree with you you build in the dark and you announce it when it's finished let me tell you you're going to fight until you can't fight no more and when you can't fight anymore you're going to lay down and bleed a while and then you're going to get
up and fight some more sometimes you have to fall back into the dark room and focus on you there are too many people in your life who have left you there are too many people in your life who have counted you out there are too many people in your life who have whispered in your ear and said you'll be worse off without them prove them wrong there are people in your life that claim to be your friends and honestly they are just standing there waiting to see you fail yeah you have those friends that come
out to support you and tell you how great you are but when driving off leaving from the event they're saying to themselves I can do that better than him or I can do that better than her disappear and do the work that is required sometimes you got to take a break from just about everything disappear come back and shock the world you've been surrounded by individuals that call themselves your friend they're just another person that wants to tell you that you cannot accomplish your dreams are you worth my time if you're not it's time to
unplug time to unplug time to unplug this is the process when you have to reset and when you have to ghost everyone yeah nothing changes and nothing changes man you know we'll sit around forever wondering well what if I you know what if I was a dog catcher would I be the best what if I was a you know every day we change the world but to change the world in a way that means anything that takes more time than most people have it never happens all at once it's slow it's methodical it's exhausting we
don't all have the stomach for it what if it's a mistake it's a mistake rest assured what do you know you're going to stumble around right and what's going to happen is this you're going to move you're going to not stay in stasis you're not going to wander around in circles and I see people like that they said well I never knew what to do and now I'm 40 it's like that's not so good that's not so good and you might say well and there is a literature too that suggests that people are a lot
more unhappy when they look back on their lives about the things they didn't do than they are about the mistakes they made while they were doing things it's how they get you to give up they say it's not that simple any so what's the truth that is I want people to understand that they're not alone that there are other people feeling exactly the way they're feeling that their behavior is not insane that they have a disease and it's not their fault there's a very famous kind of line that people don't change I happen to know
that people do change and I see that every day I see people getting better I see the lights in their eyes come on there's a million excuses I could make to rationalize not getting up early doing the ice bath and going for a run there comes a time when all these potential excuses turn into fuel that motiv Ates you to keep going you got to get out there you got to give it everything you got whether it's your time your talent your prayers or your Treasures because remember this you will never see a u hole
behind a hearse if you want to know something about yourself sit on your bed one night and say what's one thing I'm doing wrong that I know I'm doing wrong that I could fix that I would fix you met meditate on that you'll get an answer and it won't be one you want but it'll be the necessary one it's the whole issue people have a feeling that they can change but they have no effort they don't want to get in the game because they feel it's you know it's just too much time and it doesn't
work and I tried it and it doesn't work and then they give up and then life just goes on it's seamless you you don't see it it's just the way you've been living my older brother who was 12 got into an electrical accident and he died in my arms and really come to terms with that I was the one who got to live that this life that we live it's a privilege and when I really started to take that in I felt this tremendous urge to do something with my life to do something that mattered
at some point everything's going to go south on you everything's going to go south and you're going to say this is it this is how I end now you can either accept that or you can get to work you can't stop you can't quit you can't say I'm a failure you're not a failure you're not you're a wonderful strong intelligent Young younger take advantage of that trust in God trust in yourself until you say yeah I'm going to you know what I'm going to take action nothing changes if nothing changes man and I'm not preaching
at you I'm just uh I just want to remind you cuz you know I've spent a lot of time in my life sitting around wanting things to change um and not being able to make them change and and not thinking I could and I wish somebody had told me that earlier sometimes that in order for something to change there needs to be change you cannot stand still because the world moves away from you if you stand still and there's no stasis there's only backwards and so if you're not moving forwards then you're moving backwards how
much harder will you work in this offseason now to get back to the championship I'll push myself to exhaustion cby we thank you for your time I just I feel like we sort of focus on right ways and wrong ways too much and um I think it's in a sense sort of scary to just be born and live life and and I I understand the the idea of kind of grasping onto um a particular thought of wanting to kind of feel like you somehow have a handle on the unknown but you know what the unknown
is is the unknown sometimes you got to take a break from just about everything disappear come back and shock the world I'm talking to the athlete I'm talking to that administrator I'm talking to that nurse that doctor I'm talking to that student I'm talking to that Communicator I'm talking to that Pioneer that inventor I'm talking to that entrepreneur I'm talking to that preacher I'm talking to that person who refuses to stay where they are I'm talking to that person that doesn't have a problem laying in obscurity because you know that when you come out of
the dark room oh your eyes on you we live in a culture of busyness distraction and noise and sometimes the only way something's going to change is if we [Music] disappear sometimes you got to delete the app sometimes you have to walk away sometimes you have to fall back into the dark room and focus focus on you everybody wants Destiny everybody wants manifestation everybody wants fulfillment everybody wants the next level and the relationship and a higher quality of living but nobody wants to eliminate distractions nobody wants to disappear for 3 months 4 months 6 months
and get into a place where you can focus on just you what if you could just shut out every distraction what if you could just shut out the world for just a season and focus on you a man is rewarded in public for what he does in private can you unplug for just a moment and focus on you focus on what matters why are you here what is your destiny the the reason why you don't see it the reason why it has not manifested the reason why you are so frustrated is because you have not
been willing to forsake all that you've been called to forsake and to follow through behind closed doors sure you can talk about it sure you can plan it sure you can write it down sure you can go to the conference and hear about it you can read about it but at some juncture you have to disappear and put the work in and come back and shock everybody that doubted you I'm talking to that man that woman that boy that girl who feels the fire in their belly it's time for you to shock the world you
may have to sleep in your car you may have to go without food you may have to bounce around from couch to couch you may have to sacrifice like nobody in your family ever asked but can you do it behind the scenes when nobody's looking when nobody's watching when nobody understands the measure of fashion that you carry can you keep going don't stop you're right there go through the process in the dark room that prepares us and equips us for the stages of Destiny it's time to get real it's time to get raw it's time
to look ourselves in the mirror and come to the resolve that this version of our s is not going to carry Us in the stretch that I been this version of myself long enough that if I don't change if I don't do something about this then I'm going to find myself bankrupt some of the most Monumental and transformational portraits and pictures that we've ever seen were developed in the dark room we celebrate athletes and we celebrate critical thinkers and innovators and actors and we praise them and coin them our heroes and we follow them by
the millions we love what they do at public but you don't know the story behind The Glory you don't know the Blood The Sweat you didn't see the tears that they CED the prayers that they prayed the countless weeks where they went without sleep to get where they are one of the greatest tragedies in life is to live and not know why you're living I'm just wondering if there's anybody here that wants their future that wants to fulfill their destiny that was to manifest that was to walk in discipline and determination I'm just wondering is
there anybody here that's willing to disappear are you willing to forsake all distractions can you hide yourself in the library can you hide yourself in the gym can you hide yourself in the boardroom and plan and conus and do what is required behind the scenes in order to manifest the moment can you hide yourself in your books can you hide hide yourself in your closet can you hide yourself in the prayer rooms can you hide yourself we have this passion to be in the public eye but no patience to do the work behind the scenes
stop telling the world what you are about to do Steve Jobs once said we do not say anything about future products we work on them in secret and then will release them to the world we only have so much real estate in our minds and our hearts we only have so much bandwidth and our mental capacity and the more distractions the more delusions the more negativity that we allow to take up real estate in our hearts and in our minds the less energy we have to fulfill the call to fulfill Destiny to manifest the idea
everything that you think about that you meditate on everything that has to your attention has to be worth your time so now it's time to navigate and do an appraisal of everything that's in our life everything and everybody in our life time to do an appraisal and ask them this question are you worth my time if you're not it's time to unplug time to unplug time to unplug I'm just wondering if there's anybody that can hear my voice right now that is come to the end of themselves and they are willing to eliminate distractions they
are willing to delete social media apps if they have to they are willing to walk away from everything that is distracted everything that has diluted your devotion and your determination every disease and dysfunction and disorder that has pulled you from Destiny after you have heard it after you have received it after you have written it down after you have spoken it once do what is required to manifest it into reality if you can see it in your head you can hold it in your hand stop telling everybody what you're going to do stop telling everybody
what your next move is and just disappear and do the work that is required don't be bitter don't be frustrated listen just remain faithful behind the scenes promotion is coming stages and opportunities are being prepared right now as you sacrifice in secret as you put the work in in the dark room as you do what is required to hold in your hand what you see in your head when no one is there to affirm you when nobody's there to validate you when nobody is there to agree with you you build in the dark and you
announce it when it's finished [Music] [Music] [Music]
