it is time for you to show up it is time for you to show up [Music] and there will be obstacles that you must face and for each obstacle it will represent something about you your greatest victories your greatest failures but nevertheless you must rise above it and you must conquer every obstacle that comes your way are you strong enough are you willing enough do you have what it takes to do what's necessary to adapt and overcome so while you fighting and you calling to get to the next level let me tell you something if
you're a person out there buying trying to buy your way to the top i want to let you know something king and queen you can't buy a legacy this you must earn see the big dogs they won't give you the opportunity you're gonna have to take you're gonna have to sleep for your car you're gonna have to sleep on that floor you're gonna have to cry them tears but we're not going to beat crop babies we're going to be lions you know when the lion is injured when a lion is bleeding he licks his wounds
and he keeps walking [Music] but the time has come for you to succeed for you to believe [Music] for you to stand tall for you to understand that you got a mission and your mission is not done yet today is that day and when and if tomorrow comes for you be even more powerful be stronger than you've ever been rectifying yourself believe in yourself keep that faith in yourself don't let the outside interference stop your growth don't let those that doubted you and said that you did not have it hold you back don't let the
losses keep you down because if you're down how would you understand what it means to get up what is good about being miserable [Music] resurrect yourself from the pit of darkness because misery doesn't have the right to control your life your mind your abilities your faith within yourself is all that you need the steps that you take in your life it's a process within itself it won't be easy but you don't deserve easy easy is not something that you should be looking for embrace all of the challenges that are necessary but you continue to fight
for it you continue to believe in yourself when the rest of the world says no to you you say yes to yourself you say yes i believe you say yes i can do it you say yes nothing can stop me [Music] let it be known within you [Music] cause no matter what's happening no matter what's going on around you you are responsible for what you think within you [Music] your mind does matter [Music] and if you put the wrong things inside of your mind the best things won't come out the best of you won't show
up because you allowed everything around you to destroy you to destroy your dreams and your dreams are limitless they never die there's going to be a lot of things swimming beneath your feet there's gonna be a lot of things that's gonna try to drag you down but you're not in the business to drown you in the business to live do not starve yourself from the beauty of life you must have the ability to nourish your mind you must have the ability to nourish your soul are you ready to succeed are you prepared to move forward
make it count be productive be powerful and from the bottom of my heart conduct your business [Music] live your life like you're the hero in your movie and right now pretend you're in the part of the movie that starts and it shows you as a loser if i got a fight to get you in the gym that's a problem i'm just saying for real some of you broke and you still entertained i'm talking about those of you who are complaining about your job you ain't got no money and you're sitting here complaining about but then
you're watching all the tv programs i'm never gonna feel like doing the things that are tough or difficult or uncertain or scary or new so i need to stop waiting until i feel like it we all have a habit of hesitating the idea isn't going to execute itself and and the book isn't going to write itself and the weights out in the gym they're not gonna move themselves you have to do it and you have to do it now but there's a [ __ ] out there who wants what you have who wants the position
you are who wants the job you have who wants the wife that you have or the husband the civil not your hungry it wants everything you can have but if you're lazy man i don't want to talk to you i won't deal with you you don't make me feel dumber you know you're going to lower my level i don't think so the reason why you're so lazy is not because you don't have the ability you're so lazy because your dreams so small i believe in myself every day i know i make mistakes i know i'm
not perfect but i am not lazy you can keep sleeping imma keep working they say things like i'll start monday it's not my fault it's not fair i'm too damn tired or my personal favorite i don't have enough time they have a loser mentality through and through and until they recognize that the problem is them they'll never improve i know many talented people who had a great deal of potential but they never realized their greatness and they will end up going to their grave with all the good stuff still in them you will be tested
and how you face that test and how you overcome that test determines the rest of your life you got to have something that is inside something that fires you up something that drives you something that gives you more power than you've ever had in your life your life comes down to your decisions and if you change your decisions you will change everything the best of the best they don't sleep they keep working what are you going to do where do i start and when's the best time to start i have a very simple answer for
that here and now at some point in life you will lose your balance and fall for the first time get back up and try again at some point in life you will fall for the second time get back up and try again at some point in life you will fall for the third time fall for the fourth time get back up and try again falling one time is not a failure it's the start of your journey the pain the failing is temporary it will not last no matter how many times you get knocked down you
get up again get knocked down for the fifth time get back up and try again there are no quick fixes in life anything of real worth would take struggle and perseverance success is a journey what is most important that one simply does their absolute best and remains persistent we learn little from victory much more from defeat stay focused even if you fall 1000 times you just keep getting up and trying again and again and again your start does not determine how you're going to finish every day is a new opportunity to reach that goal to
reach that dream success is no accident it is hard work perseverance learning studying sacrifice and most of all love of yourself and love what you are aiming to achieve the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little x that little extra day i fall down six times i get up and try again i fall down seven times i get up and try again we all start standing standing on our own two feet standing for what we believe in standing for what is right standing for our loved ones and standing for those who can't stand themselves
even if it means standing alone keep your head up and keep your feet on the ground because your life is dependent on you and whatever you want to accomplish you must empty your heart and your soul into it you must believe when others say you cannot you must go when your heart is telling you to stop you must rise [Music] and become legendary you just keep getting up and trying again and again and again four down seven stand up eight i know you're tired i know you're broken and it feels like you can't take anymore
when you have come to the end of yourself [Music] but all of this means one thing and you are a survivor your greatest weakness the hurt the pain the betrayal the feeling that you get when you wake up and you are inundated with so much responsibility feels like you can't breathe paralyzed by the pain of life that can only imagine what it's been like to be you but i'll tell you this there is a switch inside of every one of us and at any moment in life you can turn this switch from surviving to winning
because ultimately survival is an illusion there's only two types of people in this world there's people who lose and there's people who win and it's hard to be a loser it is hard to be a winner today i want to make a decision to flip this switch inside of you from surviving to winning it's time to win see the human being is the highest order of creation on earth and one thing i am crystal clear about is that at any moment in your life you can come across a speech or a piece of information and
if that information is applied that revelation it can forever alter the fabric of your existence it's in the midst of our greatest storm if you can hear my voice you've survived you survived the hurricane you survived the storm you survived the trial you survived the betrayal you survived it all in order to change your life all you gotta do is flip this switch from surviving to winning see a survivor will sit and wallow in the pain of the past but a winner will build even when they are broken i may be weak i may be
hurting i may have pains i may have been down but i am not out i am getting out of this hole today i'm getting out of the pit of misery and into my destiny your pain is not bigger than your purpose and even though you have been crushed in this very moment you still have your calling flip the switch from weakness to winning from hurting to conquering from losing to champion i don't care if you're that small boy sitting in the project halls i don't care if you that girl that mother treats her like trash
and calls her or her name i don't care if you're that young boy who never had a father take them outside or throw a football i don't care if you that father that they say it's not a good father but they don't understand you never learn how to be a father you never learn how to love i want you to know that you still are something and as long as you got air in your lungs life in your body you can be anything you want to be you can be anything you want to be [Music]
this is what we must do to take back our city this is what we must do to change this world we must come together collectively we must understand that these older cats have sold their soul to the devil for a dollar and they forgot about the babies at the bottom they never went back they left us we don't need you anymore [Music] but are you willing to die are you willing to sleep outside of that ceo office for opportunity everything i ever did the thing that they heard out of people's mouth was that's impossible that
can't be done or no [Music] imagine you go from studio executive to studio executive from agent to agent from manager to manager and they all said exactly the same thing now that's very encouraging isn't it but you know something i didn't give a [ __ ] because i believed that i can be a leading man i believe that there could be another king eastwood or another bird reynolds or another warren baby or whatever those characters were charles bronze and so on i believe that it could be those people i said there's enough room on that
ladder that i can fit up there and i look back again and learn from what i learned in sports in my case in bodybuilding it's all about the hard work that you put in i said the merciful bodybuilding i worked out five six hours a day i'm gonna do the same thing now for acting so whenever someone said to me it can't be done i heard it can be done when they say no i heard yes and when they said it's impossible i heard it is possible because i am a strong believer [Applause] well i'm
going gonna be the one that said to myself i'm gonna do it and i'm gonna show it to them maybe it has never been done before that's perfectly fine with me but i'm gonna do it and i did not listen to the naysayers so people always ask me when they saw me in the gym in the pumping iron days they said why is it that you're working out so hard five hours a day six hours a day and you have always a smile on your face the others are working out just as hard as you
do and they look sour in the face why is that and they told people all the time i said because to me i'm shooting for gold [Music] in front of me is the mr universe title so every rep that i do gets me closer to accomplishing that goal to make this core this vision turn into reality every single set that i do every repetition every weight of the lift will get me a step closer to turn this goal into reality so i couldn't wait to do another 500 pound squats i couldn't wait to do another
500 pound bench press i couldn't wait to do another 2 000 reps of sit-ups i couldn't wait for the next exercise for the next half hour of posing and all the kind of things that you have to do you'll be a champion the very body that they said can never be sold because the time is home a few years later i'm doing conan the barbarian and it was the number one hit at the box office when they came out in the summer of 82. think about that and the director says if we wouldn't have had
his body we would have had to build i mean think about it in the end i was just not visualizing just my exercise but i was really lifting the trophy over my head that's what i was thinking about and with the age of 20 with the age of 20 i went to london and i won the mr universe contest as the youngest mr universe ever and it was because i had a goal [Applause] [Music] because i believed it's all about the hard work that you put in i said it was even bodybuilding i worked out
five six hours a day i'm gonna do the same thing now for acting accent removal acting classes and all of this stuff all day long i worked in the work network and then all of a sudden i was asked by dino de laurentiis in the universal studio biggest studio to star in conan the barbarian and after i did conan the barbarian the director at the press conference said to the press if we wouldn't have had arnold we would have had to build one [Music] so all of a sudden my body became an asset not a
liability and the same thing was with terminator after people finished filming terminator jim cameron said to the press if arnold wouldn't have had that accent and talk like a machine i think the movie wouldn't have worked so think about that the body and the accent that they attacked was an asset but i didn't listen to those losers i didn't listen to them at all because that's exactly the way it was in politics again when everyone said no no no and it can't be done and i became governor of california and this is with everything like
that this is the reality of it is that you cannot listen to the naysayers so it's a very important lesson for all of you so when someone says no this is a stupid idea you in your mind you don't have to say it but you never mind just save yourself you yeah what do you know [Applause] if i would have listened to the naysayers from bodybuilding to show business to politics i would not be standing here today talking to you i will be in austria and the alps yodling [Music] that's right i will be in
austria still left yodling that's what i will be doing exactly so this is why i say don't listen to the naysayers [Music] we all have two people we all have two people and i'm not saying you're crazy we have the easy voice that's that voice that we all love that's that very comfortable voice that that's that mommy holding you saying it's going to be okay doesn't care how good you are just loves you just loves you no matter how messed up you are in life so that's that one voice this other voice that we walk
very far away from is a voice saying hey man you ain't doing it so we tried to get this voice out of our head completely and we live over here in this land so what you have to do first is turn up this voice over here the voice saying things to you that aren't nice that it's in our heads saying you know what man dude you're not you're not doing it i'm not saying to put yourself down i'm saying listen to the truth and the truth isn't in the 20 the truth is in this other
part of your brain saying look man you're wasting a bunch of percentage here we have 80 more percent that we're not tapping into because in this other 80 is suffering pain failure failure failure self-doubt darkness and then a whole bunch of light but to get to this light you gotta go through all of this so a lot of us know that i can get over here but over here man this is much better because i gotta go through this journey that is not fun this this from 20 to 100 percent this [ __ ] in
between is not fun so we decided to live over here so everybody goes how do you do that you know exactly how to do that you know exactly it's not a magic trick there's nothing to talk about that's a magic trick it's all back down to a very primitive mindset of we just have to do it's like breathing breathing becomes normal like we don't know that that that we're doing that's how you have to live your life when that alarm clock goes off at four or five in the morning your mind says no you just
say this is what we do it's what we do now because to get to where you want to go the amount of pain involved i'm not saying physical i'm not saying you got to break yourself off the amount of mental pain of how many times you're gonna have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go when i was 297 pounds and i was fat as hell trying to be a navy seal the scariest thing in the world to me even to this day was that that could
have been the rest of my life i thought then i was trying hard that's the scariest thing in the world i thought then 297 pound working for ecolab spraying for cockroaches making a thousand dollars a month i thought that was me at my 100 potential coming to find out a few years later i wasn't anywhere near that 106 pounds less graduate navy still training we're going to do all these other things looking back on that that was me trying hard that's why people got to understand what is in us we have no idea until we
start trying hard and i mean really trying hard when you're obsessed with hey this is my new norm my new norm is that wow this isn't always fun it's not always meant to be fun and that's when you know you're trying hard is that and so people listening to us that maybe are at 20 or 30 you know about yeah i'm going hard i'm going max and yet they're not seeing the results like how do they actually shake themselves out of that we're all in a battle with our own brains that's life that's all life
is it's the most proper thing in the world is your own brain it can work for you or against you and as opposed to focusing on all those bad things that happened all the things you didn't have the people that called you names all the stuff in brazil again and you started thinking wait a second i just visualized this and now i can take it to the next level next level because the visualization got you through it did and i was able to visualize the end so before so when i was 297 i was all
fat and out of shape i couldn't run a quarter mile and i was drinking milkshakes and eating boxes of donuts i visualized man how would it feel for a brief moment i was so there was 22 guys that graduated i watched this segment on tv about these guys going to navy seal training and i couldn't even i i wasn't a great swimmer i was afraid of the water all this crap man but at the very end it has 22 guys there's command officers up there and he gives this great speech i was like man i
wonder so i started visualizing me being the 23rd guy in these dress whites sitting there with these guys getting that navy seal you know graduating this navy seal training i was like god so i put myself there i was like man that's an amazing feeling i put myself there at 297 not even able to do anything that these great men were doing i said man if i could feel that that would change it lasts for one second you get that certificate you walk across the stage and what's next but i didn't know that then my
mind was that i thought i lived in that moment forever so i said wow man if i could just feel like that i could feel like that and what was that feeling you wanted so bad no victory i wanted to win not like beat somebody else it wasn't about that i i just wanted to go the distance everything in my life when something got hard i quit if it was reading that's why you know i wasn't great at reading i wasn't great at writing so i just quit i couldn't catch on as fast as you
i didn't work harder than you so i quit you know i wasn't great at things so i quit you know i'm i'm not good at this like man if i could just go that distance that extra mile to just go just to finish i want to finish i want to feel victory and victory for me wasn't winning it was just finishing so i said you know what if i could feel like these guys feel it would change my life but what i realized the best feeling i had was when i was by myself trying to
lose this weight i had to lose it in literally less than three months 106 pounds less than three months and literally i started feeling victory just by putting myself in the battle it wasn't about going to navy seal training it wasn't about being the 23rd guy in that chair i started realizing man just by going to war with myself every day and putting these challenges and these goals and these obstacles these insurmountable obstacles so it wasn't about losing 106 pounds me losing five pounds was an accomplishment me losing 10 pounds and then 50 pounds and
the more i did this the more i gained confidence and then the more i gained confidence the more i realized these guys can't do what i'm doing right now i had no coach had no trainer had no money i didn't know how to lose weight i had no knowledge of what i was doing i was just working i was just sacrificing and then through that all these different tools started coming up but i would have never found these tools if i didn't put myself in a very uncomfortable place we all look for toughness we all
want it but we look for in a comfortable environment you will not find toughness in a comfortable environment those of you who are listening to this whoever hear this you will not find it this is the inner symphony of greatness the epic soundtrack of success you don't need to see with your eyes to achieve greatness only need to hear and follow her voice and that voice is crying out from the weight room the track the practice court the feel it is waiting on you you have to learn how to keep going keep pushing keep grinding
even when you don't see any results just because you don't see any immediate gains doesn't mean you ain't making progress so you got to learn how to go beyond the limits of your feelings going beyond what your eyes don't see and go all in to pursue what could be stop scoreboard watching and trusting the process the principles and the habits that actually put points on that scoreboard i was born a champion it's you versus you so you gotta find a why that makes you invincible that you can run through walls with it dangerous is the
man that understands his only enemy is the one that he sees in the mirror no limits no boundaries no restrictions and sense the presence of a warrior who's got greatness on his mind rise champion every time they mention my name they will say champion because i am a champion every day that i get up i say good morning champion when i look in the mirror i see a champion when i go to the gym i work out like a champion when i eat i eat like a chicken the stuff i put in my mind is
champion cause all day i am a champion from sunrise to sundown for the moment i open my eyes to the moment i am a champion [Music] you must learn how to keep going keep pushing and keep grinding even when you don't see any results most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all no more excuses i'm billy all's books and i am blessed and unstoppable one billion people to god be the glory the things you're about to hear
are the powerful inner thoughts going on inside the mind of a champion [Music] i was born a champion i was raised the champion i got champion in my bloodline i've always been a champion i will always be a champion and when i close my eyes and die i will be a champion on my headstone they will write champion every time they mention my name they will say champion my legacy is champion my obituary will read champion every time they mention my name they will say champion because i am a champion every day that i get

stands in my way i will go through it over it around it because i am a champion nothing can stop me blessed and unstoppable i am the undefeated undisputed never beaten champion of the world the world says i'm a loser i get up every day and go to war with that statement they think i'm lazy i'm hungrier than ever beast mode i'm eating all competition the devil says i've got no money money comes to me easily frequently and abundantly in god's perfect way the world says i'm crazy the world belongs to the bold they remind
me of the losses i've taken they say i'll never recover i serve the god of restoration i will make a comeback they say you can't pay your bills with dreams success will come off the assembly line of my mind and say i only have average talent hard work and discipline on a great equalizer why don't you get a 9 to 5 a normal job that pays every week because i'm the head and not the tail above not below i was strategically designed for greatness it looks like your god has forgotten you my god will never
leave me nor forsake me you really believe all that stuff you're saying destiny is obligated by universal law to concede to the demands of unwavering faith and i believe i'm a champion committed hungry dedicated fearless bold never wavering full of faith anointed gracious strong racist focused discipline willing to do whatever it takes to be a champion i will arise one day and make a fool out of all those who doubted me i will live with no fear i will boldly attack the things that scare me they will not stop me on my destiny no health

to get up you must rise up you can't stay in the sea of weakness you can't stay in the sea of emptiness you can't put yourself in a box and stay there and isolate yourself because you wasn't good enough this is what it's all about work on you build on your weaknesses and make them your strengths don't fall back push forward work with everything you have inside what do you do when your back is against the wall you push away from the wall and you run you push you drive you did you fight never quit
because quitting is not an option do not give in to the things that are trying to hold you back do not give up because there's someone out there that could never be where you are today there's someone out there that doesn't have the abilities that you have today recognize what you have today utilize your gifts you the lies your power utilize your greatness because your opportunities are not they belong to you don't give in to the things that you feel you cannot conquer do not let anything conquer you you become the conqueror don't be the
victim be the victor be strong every day of your life fight with integrity fight with a full heart commitment courage confidence and a can-do attitude don't let negative energy control your life because this is your life and you must be accountable for it this journey that you are on win or lose you must carry on for every challenge that you face have the right mindset have the right attitude believe in yourself know that there is no obstacle greater than you for you are created to be the best of yourself you fight to the end if
you feel weak find a way to rise up if you feel you can't carry on then you must find another way to push on if you get knocked down then you crawl if you can't crawl then you roll you don't stop you push up you go forward you work hard you keep going do not sacrifice yourself into giving up give excuses nothing but take back everything that was taken from you no retreat no surrender onward to glory until victory is one [Music] to be the best of yourself you have a purpose let your purpose shine
let your purpose flow let your purpose be recognized make every breath that you take out be productive be strong and from the bottom of our heart conduct your business if you're happy in life right now then you can stop listening now because this video ain't for you right now i'm talking to the people that talk and don't do and believe me this is gonna hurt and you ain't gonna like me much after this one because you need to hear this if you want all these things in life and you're just thinking that by some miracle
of life it's gonna magically happen you gotta wake up the only way to get what you want in life is to get to work and go and get it to look at all your adversity and all the excuses square in the face and push yourself out of your comfort zone to achieve what you want too many of you are just going through the paces lying to yourself about what you're doing to get what you want it's easy to do this and believe me i've been there but trust me when i say 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 spend more time with the ones you love whatever it is you want more of or want to be better at in your life you have complete control over whether you get it or not you have limitless potential but you gotta believe that's true you can't keep telling yourself that you're doing everything you can and the only person you're lying to is yourself i remember five years ago i used to
tell myself that i was flat out that i was working as hard as possible i looked back at the me five years ago and laugh at what that guy used to do it was pathetic but at that time i thought i was doing everything i could you have to push yourself past the edge of your comfort zone it's the only way to grow like a muscle in the gym you will get stronger and stronger and you'll start getting better winning more achieving more the possibilities when you do this although i've known are endless but one
thing is for certain if you don't push yourself nothing in your life will change when you're sitting at your cubicle when you're lining up for class one thing i want you to make sure you remember is don't quit no matter how it goes for the day no matter what you go through make sure you don't quit we always say just do it every day when things go wrong because they sometimes will when the road that you treaching seems all uphill when cars are pressing you down a bit rest of you must but don't you quit
life is queer with his twists and turns as every one of us sometimes learns many of your failure had turned about though he might have won had he stuck it out so don't give up though the pace seems slow you might succeed with just another blow successive failed turn inside out the silver tips of the clouded out you never know how close you are you might be near but you seem so far so stick to the fight when your hardest hit is when things go wrong you must not quit [Music] i know what it feels
like to sit on a bench i know what it feels like to get knocked down i know what it feels like to have a hope and a dream and nobody believes in it but a few people go for your dreams don't live life with regrets go for your dreams don't live life with regrets go for your dreams i'm talking about situations i'm talking about circumstances i'm talking about opportunities that sometimes you have to fight for i can't quit i can't give up 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 go for your dreams don't live life with regrets go for your dreams don't live life with regrets go for your dreams don't live life with regrets and don't you
quit until you're number one [Music] let's burn how's the same live fool and die empty and that's what i live by i realize that you have to be willing to sleep outside of that office for your opportunity you must be willing to go down to the shelter and eat those canned goods for your opportunity you must be willing to almost die [Music] for your dream and you must realize that you cannot buy this no one can give you this you must earn this i played the game as if my life was on the mind [Music]
and individuals all over the world to understand this very thing greatness lies in the man that believes it's in them [Music] so all those books all those manuals everything you're looking at you're gonna realize one day when you're standing on that stage when you're standing at that altar when you're standing at that place of greatness you're gonna remember and you're gonna understand that everything i needed was inside of me everything i needed was inside of me now if you turned your back on me i promise it'll make you turn around you will call me king
you will call me king [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] you
