Now feel you know what it is to have something to so scold you, so burn you, so beat you, so barbaric you, that your fight goes out of you and you are so scattered and so broken and so fragmented that you don't even know whether you can ever live again or whether you ever smile again or whether you will ever live to fight another day or whether you be able to pull yourself together just to fake a smile for a few minutes in front of people to say I'm doing okay, knowing your life on the inside. I'm talking about going through so much that something inside of you dies! You wonder can I get back up again? In that moment when life comes at you the f***ing hardest, you will panic and you will forget who the f*** you are. Success will taste stressful because your opportunities come rats in opposition, opportunity,
commerce in chaos. It is good to be uncomfortable, I never met anybody who was terminally creative or gifted or strong in leadership who was also comfortable, though exceptional people who are uncomfortable with the time that rise to the challenge because they refuse to allow the chaos around them to determine the conqueror within them, people who resist the tone to go down and stand fiercely in spite of opposition and say I'm going to do it anyway. I don't care what it is, I don't care how many times you've had to cry yourself to sleep, I don't care how difficult it is, don't you dare give up now because whatever is over you defines you and whatever defines you limits you. You've got to put some strength in your back, plant your feet, square your shoulders and stand up, do it, don't you dance down, don't you dare crumble under the weight of it, don't you dare give in because of the nature of it, don't you dare go home and raise the white
flag of surrender, this is not your season to die, this is not your season to quit, there's joy, there's peace, there's breakthrough, but you'll never see it if you don't stand up to it. I will break you, you will not defeat me, you will not destroy me, you can't take me, you will not break me, you will not stop me, you will not defeat me. The only way I lose is if I quit, I'm not trying to be here to the left, or be here to the right, or gradually getting together, I'm getting ready to do something so radical and so massive, I'm going to turn the whole thing, one, the hundred and eighty to green, I've been broken so much, I've been defeated so much, I've been disappointed so much in my life, that I know it feels like hand-wit, don't get your dog on stuff, and don't let nobody tell you no, don't run!
If you live long enough, a lot of stuff will come against you. Somebody in your family going dead, somebody in here going to get fired, somebody here going to get a depiction of you, somebody going to get laid off, somebody company going close, somebody you love going to break up with you, that's life, for what you going to do by the door, there's some things down in you you haven't even discovered yet, your wisdom is going to be made from the elixir of your pain, when you say I can't take this, I can't handle this, I don't want any more, this is driving me crazy, you are saying I don't want to go any higher, because moving forward and moving up means more problems. Right now you're being tried, you're being forged, you're being tested by fire and by pain. If you don't let it break to you, if you don't let it destroy you, if you don't whip out and let it beat you down, if you refuse to be intimidated and learn how to manage
the stress on the next level, then doors swing open. When crisis struck in your life and in a Chinese language crisis mean danger, but it also means opportunity. You have the opportunity to show the world what you are really made of, you've got to learn how to become resourceful, you've got to learn how to become creative. That's the test, don't fail the test, don't give in, don't quit, don't ever quit, fight on. You either are going to be emotional or rational, you will lose the fight if you get too angry, because when you're emotional, you're not rational. You have to decide that you are going to be in control, that you are going to do what you want to do. Make a declaration to yourself, declare all outlaw that you're going to get out of this
rut. You are declaring martial law on your mind, mind control. The most powerful tool that you have right now in your life is your mind. That's why they enemy fight you in your mind with stress, with worry, with aggravation, with low self-esteem, with pettiness, with anger, with hostility, with rebellion, and he can make you physically sick, because your mind is sick, so you don't have to get out of trouble. You just have to get your mind out of trouble. There's going to be blessings, there's going to be miracles, there's going to be opportunities, oh yes, there's going to be some struggles, there's going to be some challenges, there's going to be some tests, but even the struggles are an opportunity for me to show off the victory if my mind can't handle the change. You got what it takes. You may not like what you're going through, you may be stressed and overwhelmed, you may not be comfortable with your situation, but stop the next devil that tries to tell you,
you don't have what it takes. I may have some black eyes and some bruises, I may even lost some teeth, but I'm still here, I didn't give in, I didn't rock up, I didn't paint, I didn't collapse, I didn't run even what I wanted to. You can get your mind out, you can get your money out, you can get your family out, you can get your job out, you can get your career out, you can get your health out, you can get your prosperity out, if you can get your mind out, no devil in the hell, no weapons form to get you, no enemy that hates you, can stop you from being free. You can get your mind out, grab yourself by the hand and say we're coming out of you. Most of you won't be successful, not because you can't do it, but you can't outlast your old you long enough to get to your new you. Because let's face it, when the alarm goes off, you got your head on that soft pillow, it's all nice and cozy and warm in there, you do not feel like getting up.
You should not, that's news alarm is the dream killer. When you press that snooze button, you're killing your dreams. Every single day when you wake up, you got two options. You can look at the clock and hit the snooze, you can look at that snooze button, boom, you can hit the snooze button and go back to bed and dream about what you want to have or if you look at that snooze button, check that clock and get up and go pursue your dreams. So easy, so easy to put things off, so easy to say you're going to do it tomorrow. Well, I want you to reprogram your brain and tell yourself that tomorrow is not a viable option. Tomorrow doesn't work, you do it today, you get it done today, that's what you do. If you can get through to doing things that you hate to do, on the other side is greatness. No more excuses, no more hesitation, no more procrastination, no more negotiation, no more. Go, you talk, stop, it's all done.
Don't expect front row seats if you're giving those lethal. Everybody want to win, everybody want to be on the winning team. Everybody want to win, but everybody don't want to work. Everybody wants to reward, but everybody don't have to want to work. We all got to work, I got to show up and show up one twin. Every time, where much is given, much is required, but you're going to get to reward. Rewards come after you work, not before. The only place where success comes before work is an addiction error. We're not going away, we're going to do work, we're going to put in work, because every time you put in work, you get the same consequences, you get paid, you get rewarded. Discipline is, you do it so long and so hard and you're so passionate about it, that even when you don't feel like it, you still operate it the highest level. Beast mode is, I will not stop one other stop, I will not quit when it gets hard, I will not complain, I will not worry, I will not fret, I will find a way when there is no way, I will make a door when there is no door,
I will create a window when there is no window, I will create finance when there is no finance, I will find an opportunity when it doesn't exist. I will not be feared, because I know what my desires are, I know what I deserve. The reason why you stop and you stop and you stop and you start, is because the goal is not meaningful, you don't have enough skin at it, you don't have nothing to lose if you don't do it, what I'm telling you is, you've got to create a type of scenario that if it doesn't work, you lose everything, and because you cannot lose everything, you've got to make it happen. If you just decide, I'm going to keep my word, if I say something, I'm going to do it regardless. Being more considerate, more trusting, more disciplined, you owe it to yourself to give it your best effort, if you get in the habit of being mediocre or doing just enough to get by, you're not hurting anybody but you, you're cheating you, if you follow it through, you keep your commitment to the commitment, do you feel strong and powerful? That kind of commitment, that kind of spirit,
that kind of personal power, that kind of vision is you. Decide to be better, decide to get better, decide to get after it. The times you won't want to come out the house, the times you'll be feeling bad and don't know why I was wrong, I don't know. Just leave me alone. What it all happened, I don't know. It's called life and you have to deal with it. Don't you give up on your dream, don't you do it, don't you do it, don't you do it, don't you quit. The part of beginning to get unstuck, you've got to decide that the behavior pattern that you have adopted doesn't work for you. You've got to change your strategies and changing your strategy means reinventing your life. Recreating you and you have the power to do that. You want to take responsibility for your life. You can decide that you're going to change, that you're not going to be a whip.
I got me here, I can get me out of this and I'm getting out. I'm not going to be a volunteer victim. You can decide that you're going to stand up to life. You can permit it to let it hold you down or you can decide, I'm not going to let that happen to me. I'm bigger than this. You can decide that I'm going to live each day as if it were my last. You can decide, I'm going to work on myself and develop myself. I'm going to empower me. I am not phenomenally skilled, but phenomenally skilled. I will not give up. I will not surrender. I will not quit. It is a phenomenal wheel that says, every time I get knocked down, I will get back up and I will succeed. I will not surrender. If it's anything in your sphere right now, it ain't for you. It's for warriors, man. It's for soldiers, man. For him, oh much is given, much is required. You cannot build anything that won't bring a battle.
And if you're going through a battle right now, it's only because you're building something. You can talk like a victim, you can act like a victim, or you could be a victor. And you can say despite the odd, I will defy the odd. You're going to quit or you're going to make it to yourself. You're going to quit or you're going to make it to your goal. Because life is a fight. It's a fight for integrity. It's a fight for character. It's a fight for good reputation. Your goals, your dreams, your ambitions, because they don't give you those things when you're born. So every morning, I've got to wake up and I've got to fight. I've got to fight for my dream. I've got to fight for character. I've got to fight for integrity. But to win fights, you've got to have stamina. You've got to be ready to fight and bounce back. Parts of time of punch, jam them jam back. You've got nothing to fight for yourself. You better not lay down and quit. You better get up and fight. Because I have this spirit that's about to go in like mess. And don't you quit. This is the end. You're going to lose everything.
You won't come out of this. You're not smart enough. You're not bright enough. Those are the kind of voices that we all live with. Because of our mental conditioning, we unconsciously build a case on why we can't do something. You can't do that. You don't have any college training. You can't do that. You don't have the money. You don't have the contact. It's a natural inclination for us to put ourselves down. See, we have born negative, I think. And a negative consciousness because we live in a negative world. Don't let this negative world get to you. Don't let it win. Stop beating up on yourself. You do do it. I know you do it. I've done it. Do you have the courage to believe in your own ideas? Do you have the courage to think something beyond where you are? Because if you can think, you can change. You can lose. You can evolve. You can grow. You can become. You are one thought away from a great reformation in your life. One thought away from big and billionaire. One thought from overcoming.
You are one thought away from the greatest experience you have ever had in your life. Your credit is not a problem. Your house is not a problem. Your situation is not a problem. Your thoughts are the problem. As a man, take us in his heart. So he is he. Everything starts in the thoughts you think. If you think little, you go little. If you think weak, you go weak. If you think up, you go up one thought. Look out somewhere you are. What you see is what you'll be. If you see nothing, you'll be nothing. So now is the season for you to move distractions, confusion, turmoil, out of the way, to find a peaceful place where you can meditate and think, what am I going to do at this season in my life? What could I do with the truck I'm says in my life? What would you do with what you have to make it better? One thought deliberately. Some hopping around in the failures of your past, just standing up like a man and saying, I'm going to be defined by what's in front of me and not what's behind me.
You will not be me because I take myself to be strong enough to slide you like all for me. People have this reoccurring nightmare that there's some thing, some force that's kind of holding them and it's holding them down and they can't break free. No matter what they do, they can't break free. From that force, well, I'm here to tell you that that thing and your nightmare, that thing that's holding you back, that thing that's dragging you down, that thing is you. You know who's going to bail you out? You know who's going to come in the rescue you? You know who's going to come and save the day? No one. You have no backup. You have no reinforcements. No one's going to come and do it for you. You're going to have to do it all yourself. No one's coming to save you. No one's coming to save you. The only person that's going to make a drastic change in your life is you. You have to do it for you. Get out of your head. Get out of your feelings. Your feelings are screwing you.
I don't care how you feel. I care about what you want. And if you listen to how you feel, when it comes to what you want, you will not get it. Because you will never feel like it. When your mind starts taking a scream about having to do these hard things, you must take control. You've got to discipline your emotions. Discipline is the path to freedom. Discipline is the driver of daily execution. Discipline defeats the infinite excuses that hold you back. Make discipline part of your daily life and your daily life will get better. You need to be the master of your emotions. Not let them affect you. Discipline is something you dictate. Motivation won't make you exercise every day. Discipline will. Motivation won't stay up late and finish a project for you. Discipline will. Motivation isn't going to get you out of bed in the morning. Discipline will. I see people riding on my page. Oh yeah, listen to your videos when I get hyped. That's great. But what do you do after the five minutes is old? What do you do when you wake up the next day?
What do you do when somebody's not there watching? What do you do when you have to either do what it is you know you're supposed to do? Without somebody there to supervise you or you get to take the playoff because no one's going to know the difference. And that's disciplined to do the shit that you don't want to do because you know it needs to be fucking done. Don't run from the difficult classes. Take them. Little pressure, little progress. Stop taking shortcuts. Stop taking an easy way. No, I'm too to eat. You're going to swear you're going to eat the sweetest thing. You got to get a little bit more intense about your life. You got to stop me. It's a casual. It's decisions we make that chase that best version of us every second every day because every day alters the direction the course of our lives. Take ownership. Don't make excuses. Don't blame any other person or any other thing. Get control of your ego. Take ownership of everything in your world. The good and the bad. Take ownership of your mistakes. Take ownership of your shortfalls. Take ownership of your problems. And then take ownership of the solutions
that will get those problems solved. Take ownership of your job. Of your future. And take ownership of your life. You have to put your everything. Your everything. Your mind. Your energy. Your effort. Your discipline. Nothing is going to pop out the fire. If you don't throw something in there, it's not going to happen. You got to stay focused on your dream. Don't allow anyone to pull you off the game plan. The fruit of everything good in life begins with a challenge. Everything worthwhile is uphill. Your dreams are there. Your hopes are there. Most people, they don't lead their life. They accept their life. Here's the issue. Most people have uphill hopes, but they have downhill habits. And you can't go uphill with downhill habits. It's pretty easy to get the mindset that there's nothing you can do about it. That you're overwhelmed. That you can't change the world. Where you know that you can change, you can change you.
You can change your world. And if you change your world and you make yourself better and you make your part of the world better, the rest of the world will follow. Good intentions are overrated. I know so many people are going to do that. Yes, I think that's a good idea. I think I'm going to do that. Good intentions are the most overrated praise in the world. Nothing happens to you if you've got good actions. And it's not going to come to you and it's not going to fall in your lap and it's not going to be something that oh my gosh, it just was so simple. It's always going to be difficult. Look, I love the sugarcoat this thing for you. I love to tell you that you can go out here and get rich. Do a couple of things. They happen. You got to get real darkish. You got to get down right fork if you want to make it. Most of you won't be successful because when you're studying and you get tired, you quit. Weakness haunts us all. The times we could have done more. They eat at your self-esteem. They rob you of your self-respect. They diminish your belief in your potential.
The true art of a full life is to minimize those moments when your weak thoughts win the battle and maximize your ability to rise and grind. Most of you say you want to be successful but you don't want it bad. You just kind of want it. You don't want it bad and you want a party. You don't want it as much as you want to be cool. And I'm here to tell you today if you're going to be successful, rise and grind. If you wanted to happen, get your butt up and make it happen. And sometimes if you're going to be successful, it's not how smart you are. It's not how strong you are. It's how much you can outlast stuff. Success is not a comfortable procedure. It is a very uncomfortable thing to attend. So you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable if you ever want to be successful. Start putting some pressure on. Put some pressure on yourself. Get out here and get a body. Don't cry to give up. Cry to keep going. Don't cry to quicks. You already in pain.
You already hurt. Get a reward from it. Some of y'all, you're not getting close to the vision. You didn't say at the vision that your mama said something about it. So you didn't back off. You didn't say some about the vision that somebody tried to kill you. And you didn't back off. Are you here when I'm trying to tell you? I'm telling you that you got to be possessed with the vision. You want to make your dream come true? You got to stay focused. Some people will ever get even. Then get ahead. Stay focused on where you want to go. I just kept on doing what I was supposed to do. So you've got to work on it. When other folks are having a good time, you've got to have the strength of character to concentrate, to read, to digest information, to be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you will become. You have to give it everything you got. No more TV, no more parties, no more playing. What you need to be doing is studying. When they're having fun, you grind. Have you ever had anything bring you to the point
that you wouldn't assure if you could get out of this? It's the muscle. Muscle is created by repeatedly lifting things that have been designed to weigh us down. So when you show this feel heavy, stand up straight, lift your chin hell, call it exercise. Remember that life is a gym membership with a really complicated cancellation policy. Remember that you will survive. Remember, things could be worse. Remember, we are never, ever given anything that we can't handle. When the world crumbles around you, you have to look at the wreckage and then build a new one out of all the pieces that are still here. Remember, you are still here. The human heart beats approximately 4,000 times per hour in each post, each throb, each palpitation is a trophy engraved with the words, you are still alive. You are still alive. I like it. If you have some little sun here, you stop fighting. You stop draining. You stop reaching. You need to have something not true to your need. You'll never just come on what's inside of you
and do some challenges you. Life don't give you what you want. Life gives you what you will excel. If you will excel, fail your hard shields, disappointment. That's exactly what life's going to give you, right? If you want to win, you've got to show up and demand for yourself success and fulfilment and happiness. In spite of all those feelings every day, I've just given up. I've just quit. In spite of all that, it's going to be your ability somehow to muster up the courage. Now flush that out. To reach down deep. In fact, something inside of you to allow you to go far one more time. And first of all, defines true care. Don't quit. Don't collapse. Don't fail. Don't give in. Don't succumb to depression. Either way, you're going. You've got to fight all of us. We got the same indie. We're going to die. So if you know you're going to die, why are you playing it safe? I'm going to build something. I'm going to make something happen. I am not going to live and die and not leave anything in the earth
as a sign that I was here. I'm going to build something. If you knock me down, you are going to have to do it tomorrow. Come on, get back up and get it. I will not go quietly away until the night. So many people out there fail. Not because they don't have the ability. It's because they don't have the heart. To go through adversity. Now it's the mental game. And that's where people get lost in life. Get lost in that next level. You must get your fucking self out of the f***ing sewer. No one's coming in the f***ing sewer to get you. It's dark. It's nasty. It's rats down there. It's your brain. You are the only person that can pull yourself out. You got to study this, man. The only way we're going to get through this is if you study it. So every time I'm in a dark moment, I get in it, man, with a can pin in paper. I'm like, okay, this f***ing sucks. I can feel like I'm losing my f***ing study of this.
What is it that I can learn from this? What corrective action do I need to take that will unlock the door to unlimited powers and possibilities that I have within myself? Let's come out of this mother of greginess. The easiest thing in the world to do is to complain. The easiest thing in the world to do is to be negative. It takes work to have a perspective that see things on the right side of the coin. You got to fight for that. It takes work to show up every single day. And when things are not playing in our favor to say, you know what, man, I'ma still show up. And I'ma give everything I got to it because I value what I'm a part of. It takes work to have the right perspective. You're going to need some energy. You're going to need something that's so powerful. You're going to need something with real life habit. You're going to need some energy that can get you going and get you through this. You've got to ask yourself, what's your why? What motivates you? What pushes you? What drives you? You've got to have a why. You've got to have a reason for why you do what you do. The problem with some of y'all, the reason why you don't give a hundred and twenty percent because you ain't got a why for what you do. What is it that will give you the drive?
What is it that will ignite the courage in you to get up and come back again and again and again? How is it that you would be able? What reasons that can tap into that deep down feeling that goes to your gut that no matter how many times you get knocked down that you're coming back? Why are you here? That's because I want to make my mama proud of me. I promise my kids something I do for them. I'm going to give them a better life. I want to leave them a legacy. I wish I could tell you what's going to get easier. I wish I could tell you that if you just keep going, the wake is going to get light. I wish I could tell you that that's not the truth. The truth is you've got to find something within. You've got to find something within and that's got to push you and that's got to drive you and that's got to move you. And when you find out what your wife is, you don't hit snooze no more. When you find your wife, you find a way to make it happen. And so life normally breaks you because when it hits you, it wasn't ready. But if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready. If you stay ready and you stay fucked up,
when you hear bad news, it don't break you because you're already energized. Whatever you want, you got to be willing to accept whatever comes with it. You don't judge the person by what they stand in times of comfort and convenience. You judge them by what they stand in times of challenge and controversy. Like when you work for something, it gives you a different type of attachment to it. The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. That's why casket give up so easy. They ain't got none to invest it. They ain't work for it. They ain't sacrifice for it. But when it can't work for something, I'm going to have been sacrificed for something when you won't have a cold day in hell before you take it from them because they value it different. It's a dog fight. It hasn't been easy. It's a dog fight. You have a dream and then life punching would say, do you really want this? It's a part of it, but I pay too much. It's been rocks, 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'm not retreating. I'm not running. I don't care if you say we outnumber. We live by this and we die by this. We don't retreat. Once we hit that wall, we don't quit.
We don't give up. We push a switch called wheel and we start using our wheel power. Yes, we tire. Yes, the mind is saying give up. Yes, it's saying quit, but we cannot quit because we realize we have not reached a goal yet. You have come too far to quit now. You have invested too much to quit now. You have lost too much to quit now. Get a reward for your pain. Don't cry about it. Don't worry about it. Get a reward for it. When you acknowledge it, hey, it's me. I'm the one. I've got to do this. I'm the one that's going to turn this around. So I got some roadblocks. It's not easy for them, but ultimately, I know that these roadblocks, these obstacles, this opposition won't stop me. It will not determine my reality. You start running from a class. You start running from a subject that you don't like. It will haunt you for the rest of your natural life. It ain't going nowhere. At some point, you got to go take the life out of. The real battleground is in your mind. That's where the fight is.
You lay down with it. You get up with it. You go to work with it. It's not haters. It's not enemies. It's not liars. It's not backbiter. That's not the battleground. Stop wasting your weapons on what people say because it is not what they say about you. That matters. It is what you say about you that threatens your destiny. You will never be defeated by what they say about you. You will be defeated by what you say about you. Let them talk. Because at the end of the day, the haters, the ones who talk they're way behind talking to you who's leading the pack. So let them all talk. Let them all make their noise. Because at the end of the day, you are the only one who has the guts to go to work and show up every single key day, day in and day out. You stay intensely focused on it. You fight through that fatigue. You fight through the noise. On the other side of that, it is no greatness. I'm giving you permission to be great.
I'm giving you permission to be everything. You will call to me. You have to be careful when you hang around average people. All they're going to do is tell you what they can't do. And that's okay. That they can't do it. But that has absolutely nothing to do with us. I cannot step into the future and still think in my past. I cannot let the rumors and the stain of what they said about me destroy my opportunity. I got to kill it tonight. I got to destroy it tonight. I got to throw it behind me tonight. I can't drag that same old mess into another year. Get a fucking notebook and write down what the fuck you're going to do this year. It all starts fucking today, right? No more fucking excuses. This is the year of the f***ing soldier. We're going in like f***ing Marines. We're getting back what belongs us. 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're not upgrading yourself. There are those of you who said, I want to be a millionaire. I want to be the best at this company, right? But your value system says, you will even 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. It's hard to keep going when no one is supporting you. When no one is clapping for you. And that is exactly why you have to become your own biggest fan. You really do have to believe in yourself when no one else does. Always keep going. Always. No matter what happens, the storm eventually ends. When a storm does, and you want to make sure that you're ready, eventually that storm passes. Don't judge your destiny by your history. Being a warrior, it's not about the act of fighting. It's about believing it's not so strong. That's worth fighting for.
That you'll never quit. You will never, ever quit because it means so much to you. My strength is in my struggle. The level of battle you face is an indication of the level of blessings that you stand to receive. If you're up under attack, there's something to be gained because people don't fight people who don't deal. Is it worth building anything? Nobody would battle you. If it weren't going forward, they wouldn't fight you. You want to make a dream come till you got to stay focused. Some people rather get even than get ahead. Stay focused on where you want to go. Championships are one in the theater of the arena. They're one in the thousands of hours in the training room, the labs, and the 5 a.m. runs, and it's raining, and they're also sleeping. That's when it's won. The harder champion is a light switch. It's always on. It doesn't go on and off if someone's watching. It's constant. It's how you look at something. If your name's attached to it, and you do it right, the best of your building every single time. How bad do you want it? Do you want it? Bad enough to keep turning back
to look at it again. I don't know what it means, but it's throwing me. And I don't know what's going to come out of it, but some kind of way, my destiny, tied to that. And I can't walk away. Your destiny is in the fire. If you run from the fire, you will run from your destiny. Your destiny is in the problem. Your destiny is in the store. Your destiny is in the fight. If you want to be a diamond, you must go through extreme pressure. If you can't take pressure, then you're not a diamond. After you go through all the pressure, you thought you could not handle and you think it's over. Then they turn on the heat. Once it goes through that type of pressure, and it finally becomes a diamond, at that point, you can't break it no more. I've been broken so much. I've been defeated so much. I've been disappointed so much in my life. But I know what it feels like. I have to handle it. Once you get to that point, you cannot be broken anymore. There you go.
Take another step. You're right on the verge of stepping into your purpose, into your destiny. If you don't give up, if you don't pay for yourself, if you go ahead and push yourself, then get on the pattern as fast. Your life is about to change. If you do what is easy, your life will be hard. But if you do what is hard, keep coming back again and again and again. Get up dressed every day, knowing some way, somehow with a spirit of expectation, I can do this. If you do that over and over and over again, your life will be easy. Think about the things that you tell yourself the lies you use to rationalize taking the easy road. You don't have time. You don't have support. You don't have the equipment or the gear. You're too busy. And you're too tired, or you're too sore,
or you're just plain not feeling it. Lies, lies, lies. You cannot let your impulses govern and rule your life. I just don't want you to make the same stool mistakes over and over and over again and call it life. I just don't want you to keep doing dump stop and say, my life is miserable. No, your life is not miserable. Your ability to edit, to make adjustments, to make corrections is messed up. If you don't like where you are right now, turn around and look at what you've done, you've built every single step to create this. No accidents, just taking the easy road too many times, not getting up, not going for that extra rep, putting that extra mile in the little inches of life that add up to be first place or forgotten. There are some things that you're not going to get instantly. You have to wear them down by continual pressure over and over and over again. Consistently, consistently, you've got to be consistent. Consistency is having to go and when you wake up that day and you don't feel like it, you still knew what you told yourself he was going to do.
It is the days you don't feel like doing it, but you look at your wife, you look at your kids, you look at the country, and you realize that I am where I am because of other people's sacrifice. I've got to get up and make it happen. Even though I don't want to get up and make it happen. You don't wake up most days and not be pumped up. You don't wake up most days and not feel like doing it. But when you can get to a point that you do it anyway and there's no way you won't reach any of your goals. When you master yourself, you put yourself in a position that a lot of people can't do what you do and then you become rare. And diamonds are rare. That's why they cost so much. This has everything to do with pride. You got to take pride. I need you to give a hundred and twenty percent and do it for the pride of who you are. Because life is going to give you back what you give it. What does some 500,000 out of your person do? The 50,000 out of your person doesn't do. He does everything he's supposed to in a little bit more. He works hard in a little bit more. He makes money a little bit more. He saves money a little bit more. There's no easy way to the top. If you want to win in this life, you got to do what you're supposed to
and a little bit more. You can't ever stop in the finish line. You know what you got to do to hit a golf ball like me? You got to get up at five o'clock in the morning. You go down, you hit a thousand golf balls. You hit some any golf balls at your hand starts, bleed. Then you run up to the clubhouse. You wash that blood off your hand. You strap a bandage on it. And you go down, you hit another thousand golf balls. Yeah, you love it. A golf ball like me if it was easy. Well, nothing good comes easy. You get one shot. You better make the kind of decisions that's going to take you to the NBA. You better make the right decisions. That's going to take you to the NFL. It's one thing to dream about your destiny. But it's another thing. To wake up when you know you spoke to wake up. To write when you don't feel like writing that paper. To say no. To quit when you still got a hundred more shots to make. You got to be a positive. You're laying on the mat gasping and you don't know what you're going to do.
How you handle it. That's where the growth takes place. If somebody can and knock you down, they know you could do a body. But if I come back a week later, you're still on the ground. We got a problem. And some of you, you say it ain't my fault. You write the way you were born. What happened to you is not your fault. But dog on it, you're still on the ground. That's the 20 years. If you get knocked down, there's nothing you can do about it. But getting back up has every single thing to do with you. I just need you to identify what your pain is. And then I need you to ask yourself what you can do. Write it. You have a choice how you respond to your pain. You are not the only person that's been through a divorce. We'll get over it. You're not the first one. You won't be the last one. You can turn that divorce into something. You're not the first one to lose your promotion and get fired. You're not the first one. You're not the first one they let go of. You won't be the last one. The question is what you're going to do about it. You have a choice to either give up or keep going.
Give up or get up. You have to save your own life. Nobody's going to be able to save it for you. So we have to do what we have to do no matter what it is. You're going to have to be your own hero. So you can stop waiting for it. You can stop wishing for it. And you can get on with the rest of your life. I love myself and nothing else to be trapped in the same dark on spot for the rest of my life. I'm not stupid. I see what's going on. But I don't want to focus on that. Because if I put my energy into something negative, automatically my body's going to respond. And I'm going to start doing negative stuff. That's the way the body is designed. You talk negative and your body does negative. You talk negative. You get diseases. You talk negative, mentally certain things. I'm not stupid. I know I don't talk negative. But I've come to realize that when you think optimistically and you speak positively, you can speak those things which are not as though they were. You can say certain things about your mouth and make it happen. You won't affirmation. Look yourself in the mirror and say,
I think I can. I think I can. I know I can. Do whatever it takes you, your biggest driver. Is she the fight's not over? If you've been knocked down, it's only over if you quit. All I'm saying is don't quit. I didn't say don't rest. I didn't say don't recover. I said don't quit. Mentally, you ain't got to take off. Mentally, you can stay connected. And some of you are not successful. Because every single time you run up against a trial, every time you run up against a tribulation, you stop and you give it up to ease. I'm the effort from you. I need you to match whatever effort the enemy is putting up. Master dog on effort. At the end of pain is your meal. At the end of pain is your reward. At the end of pain is your protein. At the end of pain is your promise. So stop crying about it and use your energy to get through it. You gotta look at life when life knocks you down and says, this aren't God. Is this it? I was born to die.
Shaped in the dark, molded by the dark. I will break you. You recycle your pain. Do you use your pain? Pain is temporary. Pain is your friend. Pain is going to take you to the next level. No pain? No gain. I want you to feel that pain going through your body. And as pain leaves your body, this one's going to take his place. Success. Recycle your pain. You can decide the shape, the form. You can decide the product that comes from your pain. I cannot stop what happens to me, but I can dictate how I'm spawned. But if you will, you will be broke. And I'm not here because I'm the best. I'm here because they tried to break me and they could. I invested too much to quit. I made too many sacrifices to give up. So when life happens, I would just sit there and cry. I brought back. I brought back. Amorous people live off talents. Phenomenal people live off efforts.
Life is going with your blood. Life is going with you. Stop crying. Stop crying. Nobody cares. Let it hit you. But don't let it puff you. And I'm telling you right now. Don't give up. I'm telling you right now. Don't give me. Get through it. I don't care if you sink. I don't care what you're going through. If you're not dead, he ain't through it yet. As long as you wake it up, you're still in the game. As long as you are alive, you can still make it happen. As long as I'm right in your nostrils, you're still in the game. You still can win. Now get your butt up. And you will promise me that from this day forward, you will not be defeated. You are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain, a lot of setbacks, a lot of defeats, but in the process of doing that, you will discover some things about yourself that you don't know right now.
Most people think they're disqualified from becoming mega successful. They think they're past disqualified. They're mistakes. They're seven. You don't know, man. I've had a divorce. You don't know. I failed in this other business. You don't know. In the last down real estate market, I lost it all. You don't know what I'm addicted to. You don't know my mistakes. You don't know my weaknesses. You don't know what I'm not good at. You don't know. I've always been average and ordinary. I've always been invisible. And so that disqualifies me from being successful. So what you do regularly is you disqualify yourself. What I'm saying to you, what if the truth was that your greatest mistakes are the very things that do qualify you? What if that's the case? What you will realize is that you have greatness within you. What you'll realize is that you're more powerful than you can ever begin to imagine. What you will realize is that you are greater than your circumstances. That you don't have to go through life being a victim. If you can survive temporary pain on the other side of temporary pain,
you will meet another version of you. But by the way, all pain is temporary. The only thing permanent is our soul. Even our bodies are temporary. So all pain, no matter what it is, it is temporary. And if you can survive it on the other side of it, you will meet personality traits, emotions, thoughts, people, circumstances, versions of you that you didn't know existed before. If you want to make your dream become reality, the people that are running at their dreams, know that it's possible that you can live your dream. That's necessary that you're relentless that you have a plan of action that you are created. That know if it's going to happen, it's up to them. And they're resolving within themselves. It's not over until I win. The people that are running after their dream, know they're going to have hard times and keep all running because they're saying within themselves, no matter how bad it is or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it. I'm up here not because I'm super impressive because I'm not. Every time I wanted to quit this business, I didn't make a decision to not quit the rest of my life.
I made a decision not to quit for one more day. One more day, just so quick. One more day, hang on. What if the truth is that changing your life is one away? One decision, one meeting, one conversation, one extra phone call, one extra rep in the gym. You start stacking up those one more. That's the separator. You are one decision away from changing your life. You're one new meeting, one new relationship, one new contact, one new action, one new decision away from shifting your life from where it is right now to a totally different place. There's something you've been hesitating on. There's a contact you need to make. There's a job you need to quit. I don't know what it is, but I know there's a decision that you need to make to take you to the next level because decision shaped our destiny when they're backed up by some massive ass action. But you can't take the action if you don't decide. I made up in my heart. I will not go through this break and not get a reward for it. I will not quit. I will not surrender. I will outlast every child and every simulation that comes in my life.
You need a family that is wealthy. Somewhere back in their lineage generationally, they weren't. And then something happens. The one shows up and in every family, there's the one and that one changes that family forever. In my family, I'm the one. We don't think like we used to think. I'm the one. I'm the one who made the calls late at night. I'm the one who drove hours and hours for people to say no. I'm the one who dealt with the heat. I'm the one who typed all the emails. I'm the one who returned all the messages. I'm the one that dealt with all the stress and the strife and the cancellations and the back talking and the people who can keep their word to me and the difficult times. I'm the one who lost sleep at night. I'm the one who got up early. I'm the one who carried the emotional burden of winning. Just like you are. You're the one. It's you. You've got to take personal responsibility. You've got to make it your personal business to make it happen. And you've got to resolve within yourself that I can do this. I'm the one. I'm the one.
I'm the one to make this happen. I'm the one to become successful in this business. It's possible. I can live my dream. It's necessary. I work on myself. It's me. I've got to make it happen. In the matter of one moment, one decision, one day, one account, one client, one meeting. Your life can change in a moment. And if you don't know that, you will miss someone they show up. But what if you believe that and you live in anticipation of finding them?
