We are running out of time.

What are you going to do with the time you have left?

I say that if you don't reposition yourself, you could miss the best time in your life,

in this season of life.

Because we have got to change the way we think. We have got to change the way we function.

We have got to change the way we deal with issues.

And the reason that you have to begin to reposition the way you think and the way you function

and the way you feel is that we many times are stuck between the lines of limited thinking

and limited people and limited ideas and limited philosophies. And there's something creative

down inside of you saying let there be. You need to walk into a situation where you've been locked

up and tied up and tangled up and say let there be light, let there be healing, let there be

books, let there be change in this city. You have tried four or five, six, seven, eight, nine,

ten different things. Each you worked on 90 days or so and it didn't work.

How can you be a leader with a 90 day test? Of course it didn't work. You didn't stick to it long

enough. You didn't fight hard enough. You didn't do what it took to win and rather than to

correct it and get it right. You walked away from it and tried something else. And for the last

10, 15 years of your life, you've been on the run from one thing to the next thing to the next thing,

trying to make all this stuff work. Stop it. Stand still. You have to have the courage

to live with the pressure and the criticism. New levels bring new doubles. You have to be tough.

You have to be tough to be able to stand it. It's tough for keeping your kids encouraged

while you're secretly worried to death yourself. It's tough. I'm getting ready for a birthday

and don't have a birthday gift. It's tough and not being able to get the light will pay

to end the water will pay. It's tough. But what do we do with these moments? Do we just have them

and go back home and wait for the next one? Almost like junkies getting a fix or smokers smoking a

cigarette. Are we just habitually addicted to moments without being able to take that moment

and use it strategically to do something in our lives?

You do not have to accept it the way it is. Somewhere down inside of you there is creativity.

We've got to break out of the barriers and the limitations and get outside of the box.

Something is about to happen in your life. You've got to take it one day at a time and when you

get to the end of the day you say, I'm not finished but I've done everything that I was supposed to do

for that day, for that time, for that season. Your season is shifting. You will be able to do now

in a way that you have never been able to do it before. You haven't sung your best song. You haven't

reached your best sermon yet. You haven't thought your greatest song. You haven't written down

your greatest idea. You haven't dreamed your best dream. Maybe you haven't laughed your best laugh.

You haven't had your greatest day yet. It is somewhere inside of you.

You're a miracle looking for a place to happen. You have got all kinds of things worked

up inside of you that are about to come forth for such a time as this. The time is right.

The stage is set. The conditions are in order and something awesome is about to happen in your life.

Don't let anybody tell you you're too young. Don't let anybody tell you you're too old.

Don't let anybody tell you you're sitting. Every day you wake up in the morning. It's a sign.

The best is yet to come.

This is my moment and I am determined to live it.

The mind is about to run. The fight is in your mind.

Are you ready for the next level?

What are you going to do with the time you have left?

If you live very long at all, all of your youthful idealism gives way to the harsh realities

of life itself. When you were a teenager, you thought you knew everything.

But when you got to put everything in practice, you found out it wasn't as easy as you thought it was.

Life has a way of making you close your mouth. Life will mute you.

Shut you down because all of us, if you live long enough, will go to a period of feeling so overwhelmed

that you think of one more thing if the phone rings one more time. If I get another text, if I get

another email, sometimes I question technology. I appreciate all the advances but I don't need

another way for anybody to be able to access me.

I've got there are very many people in this room that aren't experiencing some degree of being

overwhelmed by life itself. The moments in your life that you feel overwhelmed by life,

by people, by your own issues, by your own circumstances, by demands, by struggles,

and yes, by temptations.

It's not long before you feel overwhelmed.

What is hiding in you that you have not seen? What strength are you under utilizing that you

led that weak thing with you like that? How long will you live without knowing what you've got?

If you know who you are, then you know who you are not.

If you don't know who you are, somebody can describe any identity onto you and you would

morph into whatever they want you to be and that's what has happened with the whole lot of us.

Some of us have been 10 or 12 different people depending upon who we were with because we don't

know who we are. We become whoever they want us to be and then when they leave us, we are

confused because we have no real understanding. We like to think that life comes to us in

courses but it does not in reality. Sometimes you've got ten issues and they all hit you in the same

weekend. You may not like what you're going through you. You may be stressed and overwhelmed. You

may not be comfortable with your situation but you got what it takes. What do you do when life

does not seem fair? How do you deal with it when it is not what you're expected? When you find

yourself with mighty visions and mighty goals dealing with people of mediocrity?

You won't make it out of this storm. You will survive this attack. You will get through this

stage in your life. And though I made us some good stuff, I can tell by the burdens I bear and the

load I carry and the stuff I endure I shut myself and what I'm able to take is not just that I

shut my enemies. I shut myself. They said I was going to die and I believed it but through hell

and the high water I'm still here. You don't know what you've got until all hell breaks loose.

You don't know what you can take until the pressure is applied to your life. You don't know what

you can endure until people stab you and the back can walk away from you. You don't know how

much courage you have until you've been on the fire and under struggle and under tribulation.

You can't learn what's in you sitting back in a lazy boy chair in the remote control watching

HBO and cinemas but when all hell breaks loose. That's when you get to see what you got.

Experience kills off the weaknesses. Your childishness begins to die.

Your fear begins to leave.

Because what you're going through does not intimidate me. It intimidates you.

You can quit if you please. You can even take what you got and give it away to 70 other people.

But you got what it takes. Because whatever you gave them came from you.

You have what it takes. What are you going to do with the time you have left?

Right now you're at the worst place in your life that you've ever been.

I believe that this is your beginning but this doesn't have to be your end.

That just because you are currently here this is your present circumstances that life don't have

to end for you right now. 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?

Your wife. Your wife is going to push you when you can't push yourself.

When you want to quit and give up your wife is going to give you that edge you need.

That advantage you need. That lift that you need to get to the next level.

Your wife. Yes we tired. Yes we're hungry. Yes the mind is saying give up.

Yes it's saying quit. But we cannot quit because we realize we have not reached the goal yet.

This is not what I said I was going to do. This is what I talked about.

This is not the goal. This is not what I dreamed about. This is not what it looks like.

I will try 100 times to get up and if I fail 100 times if I fail and I give up do you think

that I'm ever going to get up? No so I need you to believe.

If I fail I try again and again and again for as long as I try this way is that chance of

getting up. You can decide that you're going to stand up to life.

It's not the end to you because you're not.

They're still hooked. You're going to work through this. You're going to get up. You're going to get

dressed. You're going to get out and you're going to do what you've been called to do. You're

going to be what you call me. You're going to have and you're going to prove that everybody

that's trying to break you. Everybody that's trying to stop you. Everybody that's trying to

kill your dream. You're going to prove all of them wrong. I use the pain to push me to

greatness and I'm telling you right now don't give up. I'm telling you right now don't give me

get through it. There is still time as long as there's prep in your nostrils as long as you can

wake up in the morning. It matters how you're going to finish. You will find that strength to get

back up. You're still in the game which means if you're in the game and there's still time in the

game, still time left in the game, you can still win the game. You can't afford not to be you.

You can't afford just to go to work so you can get a check. You cannot afford not to see what

you're ready to see. You can't afford not to put your foot all the way down and see what you

can get out of life. You're getting knocked down but you won't be knocked out. I'm going to empower

me and all of these things that are happening to me right now. They're just temporary inconveniences.

They're not stronger than I am. You can't afford not to be you. You want to throw some hard times.

It has not come to stay. It has come to pass. It takes guts to pick yourself up. It takes guts.

You've got to dig down deep. You've got it up. Keep going again and again and again until you make

it happen because you know that it's possible. In many of you right now, life's got to up against

the road. You can't give up. You can't give in. I mean, if it was easy, everybody would do it and

if life's got to back up and start fighting back. Because if life knocks you down, try and land on

your back because if you can look up, you can get up. It's necessary you take responsibility for it.

That you make it happen. That you don't give up. That you keep on keeping on. That you're all

decided. I can't make it because you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. We have so much

energy that can take us so far. It's necessary that you hook up with some other energy that can take

you to the next level. Just go out there. It's possible you can get what you are. It's necessary.

If you want it, you've got to go in action. You've got to be willing to experiment. You've got to be

willing to fail and to succeed. Here's your dream manifesto. No, it's hard. Yes, it's hard.

It's difficult. Yes, right?

And it's worth it. It's necessary that you have a plan of action. That you're resilient. That you stick

to. That you have the vision and never give up. That you become creative and relentless and keep

on coming back again and again and again. And that it's you that you've got to take

first responsibility to make it happen. And that it's hard. Easy as not enough to it. And when life

knocked you down and jumped back up and said, it's not over until I win.

Where have you been? Why are you here? And where are you going?

You look at your life. You look at what you produce. Is it giving you what you want? Are you living

on purpose? Are you living your dream? Are you acting on your ideas? Are you doing all you can do?

Have you gotten comfortable? Are you procrastinating? Are you invading your own greatness?

Are you surrounding yourself with people that can ennourish you? Are you challenging yourself? Are

you experimenting? Are you learning something different from an adventure or is it boring?

Why are you here? What brought you here? Investing the time, the money. What brought you here?

What decisions are you making right now as you look into the future?

Where are you going with your life? I don't care how hard you fare. I don't care how many times

you fail to test. I don't care if nobody believes in you. It only takes you believing in yourself

to get this being done. As long as you believe in you, you got the right mindset. You got the right

attitude. You can have whatever you like. But if you fall, I need you to fall forward. I need you

to fail forward. Now, are there going to be some moments when you want to give up? Yes.

Will there be some moments when it's going to seem like it's impossible? The pain that you're

experiencing, the disappointment that you're experiencing, that you're going to say, it's not

worth it? Yes. That's going to be right there for you. It's going to be in your face telling you to go

back. But don't let the distractions distract you. All right, you got to keep moving. Don't stop

separating what you do from who you are. That's what the guilt trap is about. All of us have made

some mistakes in life. All of us have done some things that if we happened to do over again,

we wouldn't do it again. A lot of things that if I had it to do over again, if I knew

then what I know now, I would have done it differently. Well, it didn't happen that way.

A lot of us, because of our limited vision of ourselves, a lot of us who begin to focus on problems

and enable them to overwhelm us, we begin to think that we have no options. We begin to believe

that there's no way out. You can always better your best. You can always go beyond anything that

you have ever done. And I'm saying that the fact that you're still here, that you're still breathing,

you've got some more work, and you owe it to yourself. So when you get up in the morning,

that you can look yourself in the face and say, hey, I'm living my life or my trans.

But I tell you, there are sometimes in life where you fold down,

and I feel like you don't have the strength to get back up. Pretend that everything's okay

when it's not, and you go home and lay in your bed when no one's looking at you, when you don't

have to impress anybody, and fear comes in. You know the fear that you have as soon as you walk

into the doors of your house, maybe it's a broken room. Maybe you have doubt in your life.

Maybe you don't know for sure what's going to be happening in the future, and it scares you.

Maybe you're worried about what people think of you, what people say about you,

just that of fear, paralyzes you. And I just want to ask you today, do you think you have hope?

And the question is, if you died today, what dreams, what ideas, what leadership, what books.

Spring starts at the Home Depot, and we are bringing the heat to your backyard this season.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your

knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. But every time that happens, you get back on

your feet. You get up just as fast as you can. No matter how many times you need to do it.

Remember this. Success has been and continues to be defined.

As getting up one more time, then you've been knocked down.

And I'm telling you, you're not where you want to be financially and it's not going to take 20 shots.

You're not where you want to be in your marriage and it's not going to take 20 shots.

You're not where you want to be in your personal life. You're not the person you want to be

and it's not going to take you 20 shots. For some of you, it's one more shot. For some of you,

it's two more shots and you have not given yourself enough credit to say, I just need to get up

a half hour earlier in my whole life for change. I just need to get up one hour early. I just need

to work one hour longer. You for whatever reason. You never pursued those streets. You never acted

on those ideas. You never used those gifts and there they are standing around your bed and looking

at you with large angry eyes saying, we came to you and only you could have given us life and now

we must die with you forever. I will not go down that way. I choose to fight back.

I choose to rise, not fall. I choose to live, not die. And I know, I know that what's within me

is also within you. I mean, you stop eating that snooze butt. Have you

to make that one change that one sacrifice? You would stop dreaming and start living it.

If you're willing to suffer and I mean suffer, your brain and your body once connected together

can do anything. The only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey is you

have got to suffer, to grow, to grow you must suffer. So I wanted to change to be the hardest man

ever created. In my goal when I was sitting there not going to school, being bullied,

being having no self esteem, my goal was the only person that's going to turn this person around

is me. How? That's the question. How are you going to do that? I had to build calluses in my brain

the same way I built calluses on my hands. So I broke the Gisborne Rolls record for pullups

a long time ago, but I felt it at twice. And I did 67,000 pullups in trying to break this record.

So to do 4,030 pullups, I had to do 67,000 for training for that. But if you can get through

to doing things that you hate to do on the other side is greatness, that's what people understand.

By me running, I am callous in my mind. I'm not training for a race. I'm training for life.

I'm training for the time when I get that two o'clock in the morning call that my mom is dead

or something happens, tragic in life. I don't fall apart. I'm training my mind and my body,

my spirit. So it's all one so I can handle what life is going to throw at me because the life I've

lived at those a whole bunch at you. And if you're not physically and mentally prepared for that,

you're just going to crumble and you're good for nobody. Even the hardest men in times of suffering

what we do is we forget how hard we really are. Suffering is a true test of life. We are all great.

No matter if you think you're dumb, you think you're fat, you're going to have to you are fat,

you're going to have to you didn't bully or no matter if you just get back to my rack or Afghanistan

and you have no legs or your arms or whatever man, we all have greatness.

What would amazing look like for you? What would amazing look like if you were amazing?

If you know what amazing looks like then why haven't you gotten here yet?

I want you to say the reason I'm not an amazing yet because I hit the snooze button, that's why I'm not

amazing right now. The reason why I'm not amazing right now is because I couldn't get up early enough

because I told myself I'm not an early person. I don't get on Twitter every blue moon. I don't get

on my app every blue moon. The reason why some of you will never be successful because you're not

immersed in it. When you wake up in the morning, look at your goals, your goals will tell you

what time to get up. Are you hearing me? Your goals will tell you who you should be hanging out with.

I can't tell you but your goals will tell you how much sleep do you need? You might not need to

get up at 3 o'clock in the morning for your goals but your goals are going to define what time

you get up, how you live, how you move, when you say yes, when you say no. Think like the person

you intend to become. I want your dream to be so clear, so vivid, right? When you wake up in the

morning, all you got to do is step in your dream. The different between people who talk about

and people who do it is one simple word, application, they hear it and they don't just hear it,

they die just that and when they die just that boom, they do something with it. If you are alive,

I know you ain't reached your best yet, right? You got more, you can do more, you can see more,

you can be more. I know that all your energy, all your strength, all your skills, all your capabilities,

I you now operate on the thousand percent. I know there's still some things you can do,

some limits that you can push, some buttons you can push, some opportunities that you have

and explore and the second thing I know is this, I know that you are not experiencing life to

explore it. Like life itself is a process of becoming, a part of man's ongoing historical drive

to manifest his consciousness outside of his mind in front of his eyes.

Greatness is when we overcome our own boundaries, when we surprise ourselves. When mapped out,

when we get the long view, when we get the big picture, that's greatness. Ask not what the world

needs, ask instead what makes you come alive because what the world needs is more people who have

come alive, what makes you come alive, what gives you the goosebumps, what gives you the chills,

what makes you well up. Somewhere deep inside you know what kind of person you were designed to be,

ask yourself how would the person I'd like to be do the things I'm about to do. Greatness is

upon you and it's time for you to bring that thing out. There's power and consistency. There's power

and doing something over and over and over and over again. There's power and practice. Don't

rush the process. Yeah, feel me some of y'all trying to rush to 21 day. It take 21 years to be 21

years old. Don't rush the process. Trust the process. It's a matter of life and death. Yes,

it's a job you don't want, but that job is going to propel me and position you for the next job.

It's not just a class. It's the rest of your life. Are you with me? It's not just working out. It's

an extra year on your life. It's not just eating right. It's another seven years on your life.

It's a matter of life and death. And so your life is in your hands. Your dream is in your hand.

Your future is in your hands. Look at your life right now. If you want to keep on getting what

you're getting, keep on doing what you're doing. You've got to be willing to change your ways.

Your life is working. If you don't like what you have produced, you are director, you are the

scar. You wrote this script. You produced this. Whatever it is. If it's a hit, you produced it.

If it's a flop, you produced it. Take ownership of it and decide to go back to the drawing board

and rewrite the script that you are the star on. You have the power to do that.

On this day, you can declare that I'm going to change. As you look back on your life,

you can decide that I don't like what I produced here and I want higher ground.

I want to begin to experience more love. I want to have more adventure in my life.

I want something that gives my life a sense of meaning. I believe, ladies and gentlemen,

if we can accept the possibility of that this is the decade of consciousness.

That's what I believe that this is. The decade of consciousness, if you please.

A time where we can begin to create in folks minds the idea, the possibility that we can create a more

humane society, the possibility that we can create more love, communication and understanding

in relationships, the possibility that we can create a drug free America, the possibility that we

can create the kind of respect for diversity and difference in our multicultural society,

the possibility that we can begin to develop the mindset to bring out the best in people,

to encourage them to achieve their greatness and support them in their dreams.

That if we can in this decade of consciousness, to begin to see an envision that happening

and that we are can play a role, that we were born for such a time as this, that we showed up for

this, that we survived one out of nine million firms and we have been chosen for this great work.

What an exciting time to be alive.
