I hurt every day of my life, but I learned through the pain.
My mother and father are gone.
I don't have parents anymore.
When I lost my mother 10 years ago, I didn't think that this woman would just leave so
soon, but she's gone now.
It hurts to even speak on the transition and how she went through and the things that
she had to endure, but she's no longer suffering.
But I also remember the words that she instilled in me and the things that she would tell
She would say to me, no matter how hard things get in life, don't let the pain turn
your way from your truth, learn from your pain, learn from all of the struggles that you
would face in life and continue to make a difference in this world.
And now that I'm at the age that I am today, I do that every day of my life.
And recently losing my father, it became even more of a struggle.
And to this day, I still grieve.
But every loss that has happened, it has given me power.
It has given me strength.
It has resonated through my veins to turn my pain into my passion.
Now, the thing you have to consider is that pain is good for you.
Pain is going to do so much to you.
Pain is going to do things that you can never understand.
Later, you have to realize that through the pain that will come a victory.
Now you probably saying, coach, why are you talking about all of this sorrow, all of these
things that you dealt with in your life.
But ladies and gentlemen, I'm talking to you as though you're here in this place would
I'm opening up to you right now.
This is not something that is scripted.
In fact, I don't even do scripted speeches or anything like that.
I am opening up to you to let you know that no matter what struggles that you have been
through in your life, no matter how much pain that you've experienced in your life,
you have to turn it to something greater than your pain.
I hurt every day of my life, but I learn through the pain.
I struggle some days of my life, but I learn through the pain.
Sometimes I want to quit and give up, but I realize it's not my time.
In fact, I never hear to give up.
I'm here to soar beyond the clouds.
I wanted to give my life up.
I have had everything thrown at me.
I have been rejected, but I rose above it because I know who I am inside.
The question is, do you know who you are inside?
Your circumstances, your challenges, your losses, everything that you have endured in
If you're standing on your two feet right now, if you got prepped in your body, you are
You have power right now.
You have strength right now.
Don't let nothing hold you back.
I'm here to give you the message of hope and understanding that no matter what struggle
that you are going through, no matter what pain you are going through, let your pain be
Let it flow through your veins.
Don't quit on your destiny.
Give up because you have significant losses.
Don't feel that because you were rejected in your life that you cannot carry on.
Now, I speak about my parents because they were amazing people in my life.
And now it's up to me to carry the torch.
So when you lose someone close to you, someone close to your heart, don't ever give up on
who you are inside because they will want you to continue to live on.
They will want you to live on because that is exactly what they instilled in you.
So today I will continue to represent my mother and father because that was my greatest loss.
My greatest loss was losing the people that gave me life.
The people that taught me right from wrong.
The people that told me no matter what you do in life, son, don't give up, don't give
Fight through the pain.
Fight through the pain.
If you lose, find a way to win again.
If you're hurting this side, turning around and making something greater and night to
fire in your soul, it's okay to be human.
My emotions and my sorrows, I know how to control them.
I understand how to use them.
I understand that through every loss, I turned it around and I made it something greater.
I made it more stronger.
I built something I truly am building an empire of passion, strength, wisdom and a victory.
It's just waiting for me.
Am I stronger every day of my life, every breath that I take, I get stronger.
You can be stronger.
So yes, my pain became my passion.
It has taught me to teach others to carry on, to never give up, to keep reaching and
no matter the losses, no matter the circumstances, you don't give up on your life, you keep living,
Because even through the losses, there are always great victories.
No matter your losses, no matter your rejections, no matter your failures, keep living.
No matter what you have going on in your life right at this moment, keep living because
through the pain, you can bring forth your passion.
Let it resonate through your soul, through your veins and your mind and press on.
So today and for the rest of my life, my pain will always be my passion.
I know that I have life yet to live.
For my mother and father, I will live.
For my wife and children, I will live.
For those that trust and believe in me, I will live.
But this is all I can do.
And there is no turning back.
So ladies and gentlemen, I say to you all, continue to live your life.
Let your pain be your passion.
And even if you're hurting the side, turn it around, make it burn through your veins,
let it burn through your heart and soul, and let it resonate and be powerful than you've
ever been in your life.
My pain will continue to flow, but I understand that through my pain, my passion will continue
to manifest itself and to great ideas.
So ladies and gentlemen, you continue to be strong.
You stay encouraged.
You don't look back.
You continue to look forward.
You keep your head up high.
You keep rising above the clouds.
Keeping moving, being productive, being powerful, and from the bottom of my heart, I'm telling
you right now to conduct your business.
I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I'm telling you right now to do your business.
