Everything's gonna go south on you. Everything's gonna go south and you're gonna say this is it.

This is how I end. Now you can either accept that or you can get to work. That's all it is.

You just begin. Nothing is going to change unless you change what you're doing. Change the

junk food that you're eating. Change the time that you wake up. Change what you do when you get

out of bed. Change what you do with your time. That's what you need to do. You have to change some

things or nothing will change. I said what he was the secret to success. He said 85 and 90 percent

of life is just showing up. Show up. If you show up because a chance something could happen.

It was life and death either you live or you die. Which one do you want Tom? That was the decision

in the corporate life and in the gym. But if you want something bad enough,

if you want something bad enough you can't let anybody tell you you can't do something.

I'll repeat that. If you want something bad enough you can't let anybody tell you you can't

do something not even yourself. If you pan it down here you see it's about three o'clock in the

morning and there's not a car or a person in sight. If you pan over here it's the same thing

not a car or a person in sight. We're not living by the clock man. You get a clock

sitting at a clock time going to sleep or nine to five time going to work. That's bull. If you're

in bed right now and you're rolling around you can't fall asleep. Get the fuck up. If I

means you don't know honestly it's worth to earn that rest at night. Two a.m. not a

person's here. I can squeeze back that's all. I can point honestly it's working here that more than

anyone does in a week. Life will tempt you to become bitter. Age will make you bitter

because during age you collect enough experiences to become cynical. Till after a while you don't

expect anything good to happen because you've been through so many bad things that if anybody comes

knocking at your door you're predisposed to thinking something evil you have to be careful as you

become bitter. Either your troubles make you bitter or they make you bitter. We mature with damage

not with the years. You gain wisdom from your wounds. You will grow through what you go through

but you must be willing to go through it. Now I care if you don't have the money

you don't have the help and you don't have the family for it and you don't have the background for it

and you don't have the friends for it don't you give up on your dream post you do it don't you do it

it may take you twice as long you may have to take courses at classes you might not read as fast

you might not move as quick you might not have as much but don't you quit far easier not to be

successful it takes courage to be exceptional it takes courage to be wise it takes courage to be

educated it takes courage to be knowledgeable because I'm alone you do but you don't talk like

oh you don't got to forget where you came from look at you typed it it takes courage it takes

guts you've got to dig down deep and cut it out keep on going again and again and again you've

got to believe in yourself you've got to believe in your abilities your ideas uncosteanably

no it's hard yes it's hard it's difficult and it's worth it that doesn't matter what it calls

I'm not going to rest until I have it I'm gonna do it and if this is the price that I must pay

and so be it it's not easy living your dream it's not easy reinventing yourself it's not easy

sticking to and focusing on your goal it's not easy being happy and the midst of a great deal of

negativity it's not easy to remove people from your life that are no longer good for you

and you need experience to feed and fail you again and again and again it's not easy to pull

yourself back up and start on over again it takes a great deal of courage to face yourself and say

no my life is not what I wanted to be and I can change that's not easy you've got to already

make up your mind before you get to cancer you've got to make up your mind before you get to

that exam and test everything you've got to get it before you even get to it do you got to be

positive you've got to be excited you've got to be calm or you've got to be tough you can be

paused if you can be negative you can be happy or you can be sad you can be aware or you can

be a loser but folks I made up my mind as long as there's a press left in me ain't nobody

or nothing gonna make me quit ain't nobody gonna make me give up ain't nobody gonna make me

negative dad coming I'm going to do it and I'm gonna be happy and I'm gonna be positive

you gotta work your time is gonna happen you're here for a reason um but you gotta be ready

because if you're not it's on you people who obsessed about work life balance are typically mediocre

both obsessed people apply their obsession to everything and just call it life and no one's

easy because folks do that way what you need is the one thing I talked about my book was you straight

up brutal work ethic you have to be willing to outwork everybody in the world you see this guy

here it's tearing back at you yeah that's your top that's the point every time you get into the

wheel that's what you're going against I believe that in boxes and I do believe that in life

there's human beings that have different temperament and different minds and different mentality

and a ruthless competitive drive you have got to change the way you think it is the whole

determining factor of where you go in life we are all where we are today because we thought

ourselves to this position if you don't like the position think yourself out of it change your

attitude you change your attitude no matter what your hardships no matter where you came from no

matter what your parents did no matter what your teachers told you you can learn to expect winning

it's my journey nobody decides how I live nobody decides my life I'm not a victim I'm a victor

it's my journey this is your journey you're not a victim it can end the way you want it to end

but you got to grind I do want it you can grind your way through it or you can grind your way through it

so what's your mama told you you can't do so what's your daddy told you you can't do so what

your teacher told you you don't have what it takes you don't walk in the reality you don't live in

the reality love to live in your own reality you walk with a certain confidence when you know you

expect you know hey you expect to be rich you expect to be healthy I don't get what the doctor

said you were expecting it when you expected that's what what do you do when you feel like giving up

when you feel like I don't have the energy to go one more step I'm just gonna chuck it I'm

gonna give up on my marriage I'm gonna give up on my job I'm gonna give up on my dream I'm gonna

give up on my health it's over I'm done finished what do you do you don't know what to do

and the things you should do you don't do the things you shouldn't do you do it just seems like

that my life is in shambles it's a disaster there's nothing's working what do you do you have no

external motivation it's about the eternal what do you say to yourself how you gonna fire yourself

up what's that frame inside of you that keeps you going at times you're gonna want to give out

that time you feel deserted people a lot to you and you're gonna run out of resources that's

a part of it but that's how you grow that's how you learn from life so whatever you're experiencing

right now it has not come to stay it has come to pass the person that shows up the person that

grides from the bottom it hits their right bottom it still goes on the person that's in the

call ripeteers off their face and it's still accomplished in the mission because I'm telling you

right now you might not feel it now you might not see it now but it's gonna pay off in your life

failure is not falling down failure stand up I fell over and over and over again in my life

that's why I succeed it you get to make a choice it's failure going to break you or it's

failure gonna make you it's never gonna make you feel good if you're leaving it on the table if

you're not exercising your potential if you don't have a purpose you don't have a mission the

reason you feel like is because you know that you're letting your potential die on the vine you're

letting your potential go to waste and that is an underlying condition that's causing you this

anxiety causing you this stress causing you this uncomfortable place but the reality is you need

to solve the underlying problem when the underlying problem is you're not exercising your potential

and for that reason you feel like that's it so here is a list of things that are not doing

the thing preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing scheduling time to do the thing isn't

doing the thing making it to do list for the thing isn't doing the thing telling people you're

going to do the thing isn't doing the thing messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing

isn't doing the thing writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing

the thing hating on yourself and not doing the thing isn't doing the thing hating on other people

who have done the thing, isn't doing the thing, hating only obstacles in the way of you doing

the thing, isn't doing the thing. The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.

Take action and start moving forward.

You shouldn't have done or wish you didn't do or wish you did better, like especially failing

in something where you have asked it and you just feel like a f**k loser. Like that just teaches

teaches you to gain your f**k. That's six months you're also not going to hit it there yet.

And they're going to be like, I'm still and at a year you're still not going to hit it there

and it'll still be right and every day that you haven't hit it they're going to feel like they will

ride it. But they're wrong because they're measuring in days and you're measuring in decades.

There's no losing, only learning, there's no failure, only opportunities, and there's no problems,

only solutions. The thing is man, it's always going to be a party. It's always going to be a time

to celebrate and at the time to join friends and or a data. I mean the bars are always open.

Always open. No matter how old you are, they're always open, you know. What's not always open

is the opportunity to to check the box in life. You know, achieve your dream.

You've got to be able to see it when it cannot be seen. You've got to see it in your mind.

You have to see it happening. You have to see yourself writing the book before the book is finished.

You have to see yourself graduating even though the teachers are telling you that it's not going to

happen. You've got to see it because if you can't believe it, you will never manifest it. But when

you believe it, you demand the universe to assist doing what you're doing. You get to decide

if I'm going to be rich, poor, mediocre, happy, safe. You have a decision to make, but you have

to claim it. You have to expect it. You have to live your life with the expectation that great

things are coming your way, that your thoughts can create things before I leave this earth,

the vision got to be done. That no matter what you're going through, you ain't going to switch up.

I'm telling you that you've got to be possessed with the vision. Stop running, stop crying,

stop running, stop giving up and you're going to take the fight tour. Go to the heat,

assume the heat, assume the dream because your success is on the other side of the problem.

Stop running from your pain and embrace your pain. Your pain is going to be a part of your

past. I challenge you to push yourself. Don't get it. No room for me no more. Don't get it.

You've got to take that thing out. You've got to take the breath out. You've got to go get it.

When you taste these fire things of life, all the pain, all the work, all the sacrifice,

you get them, is well worth it. If anything, it's a small down payment for the pricing

of the reward you got and wants stealth, how do you ever turn your back on it? Stop running

from the potential what you can be, guys. It's inside of you. It's always been there.

You set the tone for your life. I love this question, which is, what would you do if you weren't afraid?

And I just, I love thinking about that when I'm thinking about big life decisions. Like,

what would I do if I weren't afraid? And it's usually like the big one, the bigger thing,

that I really want to do, but I'm afraid to do it. It's like that's what I should do.

You're always afraid to take the first step because all you see is every negative thing 10

miles down the road. But you can do anything you want. You are bound by nothing.

What are you passionate about? What do you want? So what do you really want to do?

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 you have a choice to make. Do you want to sit down and go back to that guy you once worked?

No. So this is what it takes. You don't start things and not finish. You don't quit.

There's nothing that comes out of quitting besides knowing that you didn't finish.

We finish everything. You start it, finish it. If you're going to do it, do it to try and be the best.

If you want to know something about yourself sit on your bed one night and say,

what's one thing I'm doing wrong? Life happens to everybody but winners approach it like

zink doors and losers like victims. You're not a victim. Stop talking about I can't. I quit.

I don't think I can make it happen. It's impossible. Stop talking like that. Stop cursing and

start believing me. You know anything stands for me doing what you know you've been calling new.

The only thing is you. Nobody can stop you. You're the only person that can stop you.

So stop talking like a victim. Stop thinking like a victim. Stop acting like a victim.

And walk into your destiny. Walk into it. You sitting there. Open things. Don't give that.

You got to work. This don't happen on his own. It's break by break by break.

Where do I start? I don't know. Take your spot and go get it. We start the process right now

of turning it all around by getting up. And every day just looks the same and feels the same.

Now I get the feeling like this is endless. Now I get the feeling like maybe these chains are

never going to break. This storm is never going to cease. I don't care who you are.

I don't care how many defeats that you've suffered. One of you don't get the if I don't get the

I have enjoyed the journey. It's okay. But you've got to make up your mind that whatever it takes

I'm going to do it. That you deserve it. That you want it and we'll do it without it.

You want to give up. You want to fall down. You want to turn around and run with everybody else.

You're going to question yourself. You're going to say is this really making much sense?

All of that will create you to a certain kind of person. Experience the rejection.

Experience the hard times. That's how you grow. That's how you develop yourself. That's how you

begin to appreciate what you get. When you're working on a dream at some point in time a transition

takes place and the transition is what you're becoming in pursuit of the dream. Because even if you

don't get the dream you become such a strong and powerful person because you've now developed

yourself in such confidence and such confidence and how to deal in the arena of life that you can

move into another area not miss a beat. Once you begin to discover who you are then you really

realize how you have been given authority and dominion over everything on the face of the earth

but you can only do that through the struggle of life. You're facing those rejections day and

day. I don't say I had a bad day today. Say I had a character building day. What did you learn?

What did you get out of that day? You can spend your time worrying about the failures, worrying about

the mistakes. If you sit there worrying about the mistakes all day you take away time. You take

away energy from doing what you're supposed to do. You're not going where you're supposed to be going

and what you got to do is learn to play through the haters. Play through it as if it doesn't exist.

Sometimes it takes losing your everything just to show that it was nothing that you ever needed

in the first place. Sometimes it takes losing everything that you think you need just to show that

that's some better for your life. Your greatest setbacks will set you up for that major comeback.

Sometimes you have to lose certain things to gain better things. Sometimes the best way to add to

your life is to subtract from it beyond that which you've already mastered you will never grow.

So you've got to put something out here that you can't reach easily that has got to make you

stretch, got to make you jump for, got to make you get back a little big and dig in so that you can

take a leap forward and maybe you jump up there and you're missing and you're extending your knees

and you come back again and you bust your lip next time. But you keep on and through that process

you learn how to leap higher. You start challenging yourself. That you're never going to completely solve

anything in your life or in the world and there's always going to be compromise that you have to make

and if you aren't willing to make those compromises or you don't keep your mind open for those

compromises you're going to run into some real problems. But if you look at it and the fact that

you know you might put a little more effort over here and it's going to take away from

some effort over there you can't just do everything at once so yeah no solutions only tradeoffs.

This is why most people never get anywhere. Most people are incapable of picking a direction and

going. They observe the possibilities, they get paralyzed by all the possibilities,

they refuse to move forward on all the possibilities and then time passes and by. So it's very important

that you make a decision and you go down that path, you commit to that path with the mentality of

having zero options. I don't have a choice but to see this through okay. If I don't see this

through I'm going to be digging ditches. That's what I tell myself when I don't want to come here

and I don't want to do this and I get tired of you know doing what I do which happens to everybody

you go through ups and downs. I tend like I have zero options. I say well if I don't do this

well I'm going to be digging ditches so I better show the gum get it done. And that might sound

ridiculous to you because that's not the truth anymore but I still tell myself that and that's

how I operate. You have to pick something and then you have to commit to it. Dig deeper and then

you discover some things about you that you don't know right now. Some talents that you have in you

that you didn't know that you can do. I don't know everything. I'm not accomplished everything.

I'm not where I want to be. I'm still learning. I'm still wrongly. I'm still trying to get

better. You've got to position yourself and stop fighting. Stop crying. Stop looking at what other

people are getting and look at what they're doing and if you start doing it you start getting it.

You don't get a life what you want. You get a life what you are. Even if you can't see the light

at the end of the tunnel. Even if you have no evidence to support that position. Even if no one

else believes that you can do it. Even if the odds are stacked against you. Even if your chances

of survival are slim to none. Say to yourself no matter how bad it is or how bad it gets I'm going

to make it. Freight rail does more than move goods. It drives America's economy. Every dollar invested

Now you need some more direction of what you need to do to take some corrective action

to get you on the path. How do you know it can happen? You know because others have done it

so it's possible that you can do it. And what is necessary is that you work the system

that you take the culture, take the directions, look at the people that are doing it that are

successful and emulate them and it'll work. There are moments when the weight of the trials we go

through it feels unbearable. Pain can linger and oftentimes we wonder whether we're over

going to feel whole again. And the world will tell us if we're under something like underpressure

or undervalued or we're under different areas in our life that are making us uncomfortable and it

feels isolated and dark. That's the place where you should give up. You should go ahead and give

up on that dream. You should go ahead and not study for that no more. You're always going to live

in this community. Your mama's broke. You broke and look at it. The thing you thought was going to

make you wealthy and just die. If you have big goals and big dreams along the way failure

is going to happen. So how fast do you get up from that? That if you want some kind of a good outcome

you're going to have to work hard for it. And if you and if you don't work hard for something

you're not going to get an outcome that's really worth much. You know greatness is not

meant for a few chosen people. It's meant for those who persistently pursue their dreams every day

and make that choice when they wake up. So just a mentality really.

So you want to be normal. So you just want to be like everybody else that roams the world.

Not knowing the power that's in them. Being fine with being mediocre. We're going to go back

to who you were. The biggest risk to your future isn't your competition. It's the distractions you

insist on keeping in your life. Rather than doing the things you know you should be doing but

aren't. People delay doing things they don't like for longer than it takes to do them.

So nothing is easy. Like it sucks. Why did I take this job? Why did I make this move? You

start stuck and guessing yourself. You start doubting yourself. You start feeling yourself with

feelings of failure. Like I can't do this. You lose your confidence. You start feeling like

you're failure because of the frustration of T. How do you handle failure? How do you react

when your plans collapse? How do you react when it's taken longer than you thought? It's more

complicated than you thought and you start doubting. Do I even have the ability to do this?

The place that is dark that is lonely and sometimes where the pressure of life is on you,

that's the place that is making you. That's where the growth takes place.

That's where the work is. That's when life really reveals itself. That's when you discover

your true identity. Under does not mean over. And if you find yourself under under pressure,

under value, under attack, what it looks like is not what it is. This failure, this catastrophe.

Sometimes you have to take two or three steps back just to go forward again. Sometimes you

might have to get a part-time job just to keep things going until you get back on track again.

It's okay. It's happened to the best of us. It's all right. It won't break you. It only

introduced you to yourself. But during those times, there was something in me that said,

don't stop. Don't give up. Just keep on keeping on. I want you to hold on. It may not happen

in the time that you think is going to happen, but I want you to know something. If you quit,

it's never going to happen. If you quit, if you give up, if you stop, if you do not persevere,

you will never see it. I didn't get here through academics. I got here because I refused to quit.

What you're going to do all this pain, you quit? You ain't going to do all this suffering and stop.

You come too far to quit now. You should keep going. You should keep going. You already

know, hey, get a war for it. Where you are is temporary. This will guarantee that because somebody

it's now down on their luck, they can never come back. Who can guarantee that you can't make?

That you can't have your three. Who can guarantee that you can't do what you want to do?

No one can predict that. You don't know what the possibilities are for your life.

You know, the human spirit is powerful. This nothing is powerful. It's hard to kill the human spirit.

Give yourself a chance. Give yourself a fighting chance. Whatever you go after, whatever you say,

this is your stop, pursue it passionately. Let them be a deep hunger in you that you won't be denied.

And that when things happen, that they won't immobilize you. They won't defleak your energy.

But you look at it, you observe it, but you know there's something in you that's going to take

you to the top and that this is only a temporary inconvenience. That's all it is. Nothing more,

I can't stop you. Something as powerful as you cannot be contained. You're not powerless. You are

powerful. There's a quote that I've fallen in love with. The magic you are looking for is in the

work you're avoiding. The magic you are looking for is in the work you're avoiding.

I don't want to live in a hole anymore. It makes me feel poor. We are poor, but we're happy.

Come see, come stop. Anyway, the views are better above ground. I mean, I'm seven non-fox years old.

Now my father died at seven and a half. I don't want to live in a hole anymore. And I'm going to do

something about it. You'll be surprised, the little things, the little changes, they add up,

and they become big things. Chains, the little things, and over time, you can change your life.

If you don't fail, you're not even trying. I'll say it again. If you don't fail, you're not

even trying. My wife told me this great expression. To get something you never had, you have to do

something you never did. If you can't get out of your beds, and you choose not to win,

you listen to your feelings. If you chose to get out of bed,

and you said there's a win for me, that's your mind. And each one of those individuals,

you decide who gets a vote. And some days, not all the popular things are going to get a vote.

Success may not get a vote. Winning may not get a vote. This is probably one of the heaviest

homoblows I think of. So today, this next one, this is a real... No, it's not. It's an existential

one. You've already achieved goals you said would make you happy. You've already achieved goals

you said would make you happy. The man who never fell has no glory. The man who fell and got

back up. That's where his glory is. The man who fell 20 times and got up 21 times. That man

has even greater glory. Wow. That man has more courage, way more cursed than the guy who was so

strong from birth that he never fell. I think I'm 54 years old right now. Like that. I mean,

it just flew by. You direct the power in your life. Whatever your life is right now, it is a

duplication of your consciousness. It's a result of how you have decided to use your power. That's

all it is. That's not who you are. That's just a perverted use of your power that you are

satisfied with. And you've got the power to change that. Wherever you are, power, I don't know.

But I know you've got the power to do that. But you don't know what has happened to me. It really

doesn't matter what has happened to you. The only thing that really matters is what are you going

to do about it? You can allow it to destroy you or you can allow it to build you up. I know that

it's not going to be easy. It's going to be extremely challenging. I know what that one

it takes to do this. And yes, it's going to be hard. It's going to be difficult and you get more

noses than you do. Yes, but when you hold on, things will begin to happen. You won't even understand

how. When you don't give up, when you don't want to break you, I have somebody in my life that

one time told me you'll never make you. They laugh. They're laughing at you. People are going to laugh

at you. People will tell you how. You know, like, hey, guys, not going to be anything. Yeah, he's not

going to be nothing. They have no clue. I'm going to tell you what I know. I know underdogs

take everybody's out to make a series. When they get serious, I can still do this. And the first

step for me was seeing something I was not before I was. He says, imagine you're on your deathbed

and standing around your deathbed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential. The ghost

of the ideas you never acted on. The ghosts of the talents you didn't use. And then you turn it

to your advantage. So I have now made that a blessing for me as opposed to a handicap. I wouldn't

pull them wrong by engaging in self-study and consciously working to develop myself. I started

going to work earlier. I started being the last one to lead it. I started working harder than

anybody else. So now they have to ask themselves, what were we thinking about when we labeled this guy?

It doesn't matter how many failures I've made. It doesn't matter how many mistakes I've made.

I've always had a discipline and a work ethic that I've had at a young age that I just kind of

I just applied to everything that I that I want to do. So I would say that you know rarely go out

you know reading you know I'm saying trying to reverse engineer how to be successful like how do I

you know start my own products company? How do I do this? How do I do that? And I always felt like

if other casters out party and I was home studying I would have an edge. You know what I'm saying?

If casters out here doing this and that being hung over the night before I would have an edge if I

wasn't I'm like I'm a delay you know I'm saying gratification I'm that type of person so like I'm

literally like I I will party later. I work hard now so the second half of my life I could do it

with a fuck one. That's that's that's been my mentality is like I'm not going to trick off my

early years for partying it and worry about struggling how I'm going to make it how I'm going to care

my family how I'm going to care everybody else like that's not going to be me I'm a grounded out now

I'm saying I'm gonna set up the foundation so I can enjoy myself later and so whatever reasons

that we usually give ourselves in the beginning for why we can't achieve something you can almost

always find not only just someone but someone who's achieved world-class levels of success

with worse conditions than you currently have which then means it's absolutely possible and then

the only thing that it takes to get there is work. Unchosen suffering is going to happen in life

Your parents are going to pass away loved ones are going to die your relationships are going to

break down your body is going to fail you you're going to become ill or sick or destitute things

are going to happen you have no control over and the only way that you can prepare yourself for

Unchosen suffering is with chosen suffering. If you don't show up guys you know the outcome

you'll never get the job never get the part never get the girl if you don't show up

if you show up you put yourself in a situation to create those opportunities and when you show up

how hard do you go that's the facts to the apt when you come to life for you it's up to you guys

but I applaud you for being here I applaud you for watching this encouraging you to incorporate

this in your workout you'll see the gains like I did and your phone level they even though it's

tiring and exhausting and you're sweating your ass off and your tires can be small down payment

that you're willing to pay every day for the large investment of a greater life

you only got one life guys guys the whole bunch of people walking around out here

we have no idea how talented they truly are now i'm gonna talk about talent like some god

giving the building talent that sometimes you have to hold you have to work on you have to harness

yourself and then this walk around on their phones is clueless to how powerful they are

if you aren't dead then it's just psychological then you're as long as you don't surrender as long

as you don't give up as long as you don't quit then you haven't felt just means you've made a

temporary tactical retreat means you've made a brief withdrawal so that you can regroup and re-attack

as far as i'm concerned if you get beat unless you're dead you are not defeated and you have not

failed what you've done as you've learned you've gained experience i'm still in the process of

transforming my life i'm still in the process of becoming i don't care this impossible i don't

care how hard it is i don't care how difficult it i will my way through it all i want you to focus

on is the impossible and one day you will laugh at the impossible you will look at the impossible

and go i was that ever impossible you will look at the impossible and go what was i think it you

close you're about to drop off you've gone too far now you ain't got to be too quick hold on you take

with not hold on but there's about six times take it you're going to pass on the seven hold on

but you've got to get some from all that hell you've been through i'm talking to somebody

you have to get excited you have a hundred yards away you have a hundred yards away you can see

it in the distance you close move on give up now you close my brother hello hey is not

terminates all roads to success you've got to go through pain it's not going to be easy but i want

you to feel that pain go through your body and it's pain leave your body this one's going to take

his place success you think when you're young that you have all this time you have no time there's

there's no time i mean one of the quotes on the wall and the gym in there's you know there is no

tomorrow from from from rocky three it's your brother your mom your friend the one comment they're

going to say you've changed why are you doing another kick like this oh you're going to try that

now okay here we go again and the thing is is that it's not about them being right or wrong again

it's about how right and how wrong they could be without the bad days the story would be way more

like there would be no glory and overcoming anything because what did you overcome it was all just

40 to 60 you know vanilla ice cream mush gray like existence yeah and every morning you wake up you

hold yourself accountable to that mission not a company is your own make up your own mission statement

what do you want to be in life and once you do that now you can work with somebody get better you

can work with yourself to get better but until you know what you want to stand for you will always

just be sitting down you'll never stand for anything you know so when the game's on a line i'm not

asking myself to do something that i haven't done thousands of times before right so when i prepare

i know what i'm capable of doing i know what i'm comfortable doing and i know what i'm not

comfortable doing and so in those moments if it looks like i'm ice cold or not nervous it's because

i've done it thousands of times before so it's one more time it is astounding how many people

want to be spectacular in life but also want to fit in and be normal like by being normal you are

by definition aiming for average normal people get normal results weird people get weird results you

literally can't do what everyone else does and not expect to get what everyone else has by doing

what everyone else does you guarantee average results don't be trapped by dogma which is living with

the results of other people's thinking don't let the noise of others opinions ground out your own

inner voice and most important have the courage to follow your heart and intuition they somehow

already know what you truly want to become everything else is secondary no matter what you do

you're all in this is going to kill you so i think you might as well play the most magnificent game

you can while you're waiting because do you have anything better to do really why not pick the

best thing possible that you could do why not do that maybe you could justify your wretched

existence to yourself that way hold on just a minute man he can't do that he can't be successful

remember all this crap that he was covered in hold on look at the mistakes this guy's made

look they try to reel you back into that man that's what people want to do what they call it

crablin a bucket right they want to pull you back down into that crap that you came out of

it freaking pisses them off dude most people make these big mistakes in life and they hide in the

corner man and nobody remembers you i don't care what you did freaking ten years ago man i don't

care what you did yesterday you just got to keep going that's it that's how you put yourself

in these environments to become who you want to be but you got to walk through it's 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 just don't let it bite you if you get past it on the other side of it

it's going to be phenomenal that the end of pain is your millions at the end of pain is your promise

so stop crying about it and use your energy to get through it if you ever go through something

hold your head up do you ever make a mistake hold your head up do you ever do something and everything

goes wrong like catch you on the blind side hold your head up and sometimes you think you know how it

ends but what if it's not over yet what if it's not over yet what if your best days are not behind you

nobody succeeds at first successful people simply see failure as a temporary setback there is no

comeback without first setback 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 stand you in the back and walk

away from you you don't know how much courage you have until you've been on the fire and

the struggle and I'm detriculation it's when all hell breaks loose that's when you get to see

what you got how many times you have to hear if nothing changes nothing changes I can't

you can't are you kidding me you just said I can't no you can you will a lot of things going to

happen that will catch you off guard you're gonna make a lot of mistake you're gonna have a lot of

failures you're gonna have a lot of struggle you're gonna feel dumb and ask questions you don't know

what to do and where to go and that's part of growing that's part of experimentation process

because when the tough times come and they're going to come when life hits you on the blind side

and that's going to happen or someone you thought you'd be married to for the rest of your life

and they decide they want a divorce call life it's the panic of the pain and breaks me

you weren't expecting it and it threw you off and that's what broke you when you're going through

hell what do you do you don't stop there you're gonna stay there you're gonna spend the rest of your

life there you keep going you put one foot in front of the other if at first you don't succeed

you're normal listen every day when you get out of bed life's standing right there to kick you in

face man could be anything could be you get up and you walk downstairs you gotta fuck that

tire and you're late for work and you got this and that life is gonna throw all kinds of crazy

right and you have to be ready for it and you got to deal with it can't curl up into a ball you

can't run away from it you can't hide you have to take all this head on you have to get up every day

when I get up for out of bed I strap up and I'm getting ready for fuck more it takes more effort

to start the beginning and more people are right about the fact they're like hey you're not

gonna hit it big you guess what a month in you're not they're only measuring on mark what is

everything that you have been through can serve a greater purpose what if a generational curse

was being broken through your battle life will always be to a logic step not what circumstances

will make up it not what other people will make up it but what you make up your life that's what

your life will be not what other people say it will be not what the environment will try and

dictate to you no what you make your life when you hold on to your dream don't let anybody kill it

in you just hold on to that dream when it doesn't make somebody include you sometime just hold on

in order to stay down there on a low level but it calls on everything in you you have to harness

your will to say I'm going to challenge myself sometimes I have to pull myself out of there to

come on bless you've got to learn to stand up to yourself inside yourself and short circuit override

that conversation that's always going on 85% of what that conversation will tell you is negative

it's negative it will tell you you're tired when you really are not tired it will tell you you

can't do it it will fill you with fear so you've got to watch that conversation and when you find

it going on you've got to stand up to it and I'm gonna do this anyhow I'm afraid but I'm afraid

not to do it and I'm not going to let you stop me this is not a question of air if you can get

to the next level it's when when are you going to blow up the word by if you know you can do it

you know it's within you but you know you have what it takes to get to that next level the question

is not air the question is when and I had to hold on I had the persevere I had to tell myself you

can't do it that means you to expect it you're going to ask this and you have to start

exciting the reality of other people and you gotta accept your own reality I walk about reality

I walk into other people's limitations because you can't do it because you can't see it and don't

mean it can't happen I expected I expected to be phenomenal I don't expect anything else but

now to know stutter is not an option and you have to have patience you've got to have the

ability to wait stuff out to hold on and hold on oh it's right over here don't turn me out yeah

that's what does not kill you will make you stronger
