1:01For every time you have a plan, a dream, an aspiration, or a goal, do you know what happens every time you have one adult? This thing comes along called life. Life is hard. It happens to everybody. Life has disappointment. It's got peaks and valleys. You're going to lose somebody you care about one day. That's a valid. Somebody go close to pledge you thought was going to stay open so you can retire it. That's a valid. Somebody go fire you for an unjust cause. That's a valid because it's life. You can stop thinking that life fit into be easy because I got news for you today. I know. I know. I know you ready to give up. I know. I feel you. You ready to give in. I've never thought of this before, but maybe you had the darkest point of your life and you ready to give up. You're going to point in your life when you feel like it's going to die. You're going through so much anger.

2:01You're ready to give up. You're ready to quit. Listen to me very carefully. You are a warrior. It is time for you to fight. It's necessary that you take charge that you begin to stand up inside of yourself. But you draw your tears and you're not giving the luxury of feeling sorry for yourself that you've got to get it a fighting mode. You can surrender. You can be a chop. You've got to fight back. You've got to stand up and start to wait a minute. What is I need to do? You've got to make yourself move even if it hurts. Look, that test might not go away. That's pain may not go away. That fight might not go away. You are a warrior. It's time for you not to back off. Not to give up. Not to give in. Stop letting yourself surround you. Stop getting stuck. Every time life don't go your way. Stop getting stuck. Stop quitting. Stop giving up. Keep fighting in the midst of struggle. Keep fighting. Keep thinking of others. Keep going.

3:01You only lose when you quit. Ask yourself why. But this why is a better why. Why am I doing this? Why am I failing? Why am I even getting myself in a situation like fail? Because I have a dream, because I have goals. And the more you think back to those original goals, the easier it is for you to get back up and say, all right, it might be difficult, it might be painful, it might be stressful. There might be no people that believe in me, but I believe in myself. When you feel scared, don't dilute your vision. When you get hurt broken, don't dilute your vision. When you are on the top of the mountain and everyone saying you're best, don't dilute your vision. When you are in the valley of pain and darkness and frustration and you feel like giving up, don't dilute your vision. And don't just do it for yourself, do it for your family, do it for your team, do it for what it makes up the world, because you were one of the rare souls who didn't listen

4:04to the voice of their fear, instead you exercise the bravery to roll up your sleeves and get the job done. Why stop your boundaries? Why stop at average? Make a statement in this world. People come up with the excuses of, I'm too tired or I'm feeling sad or even I can't be bothered. Go out and get where you're worth. But worth the world, you are part of this world, you can achieve greatness. When you get inspired, realize that person is made up of the same whatever it is as you and the only difference is that person is the one who was for just that little harder. If we were all only made up of atoms, then why don't you become the bigger energy, the stronger energy, the superior one? It's how we react to these challenges in our lives at determining our greatness.

5:05If you start something, finish it, finish it, when you take that challenge, when you answer the call and you see the other side of pain, it's cold glory. Life is hard, yeah you might get hurt, your heart might get broken, you might lose your job, but you still got to commit, I'm telling you don't give in, I don't ever give up. How do you what we do? You forego immediate pleasure for the exchange of long-term self-respect. If you want to be happy, you have to discipline your behavior. The road to sustained happiness is through disciplining your behavior. There is no success without pain. There is no such thing as climbing to the top, obstacle for you. There's nothing worth happening in life that doesn't have a big price to have.

6:08The only those who are faithful and consistent and do not give in to their moods will make it. We're all emotional creatures, I've got major emotions in my life, but I don't listen to my feelings. I just keep on going, I get up anyway, I do my job anyway, I do the best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing it to the end. It won't be easy, it will demand everything you've got to give, but you can do it. If you want to take the easy road, I promise you it's longer and more painful than the hard road. Choose the hard path, the path of responsibility, hard work and sacrifice, the path of discipline, the ability and ownership that ultimately leads to freedom. Make discipline part of your daily life and your daily life will get better. If you follow these principles, then nothing in the world will stop you.
