And no matter what you do, you will have to destroy parts of you to become who you are supposed to be.
When you want a dream, you're not allowed to vacation because dreams are hard.
Dreams are not given. Dreams are taken. Regular life is given. But we're talking about dreams. You understand?
It doesn't matter how you feel. It doesn't matter what people say to you. It doesn't matter what people say to you.
It doesn't matter if they laugh at you.
It doesn't matter if you're tired, if you're sore, if you're beat up.
You're going to be all those things and all those things are going to happen.
You are going to have to build yourself into someone who can execute regardless.
And when you become that version of you who can do what needs to be done,
regardless of what's going on in their life,
There is not a motherfucking thing on this planet that can stop you.
One of the most powerful forces in life is consistency.
Being able to do something in repetition over and over and over again, that's how you start big movement.
That's how you get big results.
That's how you build a body.
That's how you build a business is consistency.
It's small wins every single day.
Success is the only revenge.
As you expand, they shrink into irrelevant.
As you get louder, no one can hear them.
You don't beat them.
You cast a shadow so big,
no one can see them to begin with.
With success in life, comes more haters.
Don't make them hurt your feelings.
Use them for fuel.
Use them for energy.
In times of need,
put them on the mental roller decks in your mind.
And we don't want to do shit.
Roll through your brain.
Pull up that motherfucker that you need.
That person who's saying.
you couldn't do something. Work fast enough, good enough, smart enough, where the f f-you-may-be.
Use it for energy. Instead of killing them with kindness, tors me and success.
Because of that absolute freedom, we are 100% responsible for our own lives.
And so where we place the finger of blame is also our power flows. So if you blame your parents
for your life, your parents have power of your life. If you blame your boss for your bad life,
your boss has power of your life. If you blame you for your bad life, at least you can change
you. And you can do something about it.
Understand that it is you who is responsible for being in the position that you're in.
Not anybody else.
You can't be making excuses.
It is you.
You are the result.
We can fix this.
Most of us are only one to 10% away from greatness.
But we think we're so far away from it that we never try.
And once it started going down this journey, I started realizing that.
And those percents,
started to add up. And before I knew it, my mind started hardening that I started passing so many
different people that I thought were so far above me. And then before I knew it, man, I became a
common of Marcyl common. What if adversity wasn't a problem to you? What if it wasn't a problem?
What if it was a privilege? If you think back in your life, again, your biggest growth
moments came from your biggest theme moments. If you look back on your life, you realize, man,
I had a privilege to go through that. That adversity, build your purpose. Makes you understand your
purpose more. It's easy to use your childhood as a crutch instead of seeing it as a chisel.
I always hear people say my family is so dysfunctional using it as an excuse or something,
but it's not really a valid excuse because every but family is dysfunctional in some way. There are so
many crutches people want to use to justify themselves, but for me, you have to eliminate every
single one of them. Get rid of them all. Then tell yourself, it's up to you. What are you going to do
now that you let go of all those crutches? And you have to be willing to put yourself in very
difficult situations at all times to be able to do that. So my big takeaway of life is if you're
constantly taking the easy way out, you're never going to college your mind. And when you're in those
points where you want to quit and not quitting and see how the mind starts to operate in those
moments of fear, anxiety, self-doubt, insecurities, and that's where you learn to fix it. You don't
fix it in 72-degree weather. Can we define a bad day without comparing it by definition to a good day
and vice versa.
We decide what a good day is
by comparing it to what a bad day would be.
You can't have good days
if you don't have bad days.
If there are no bad days,
the good days don't exist.
That's why failure is so important.
Like failing and fucking up and making mistakes,
it's very important.
That's how you learn.
See, the bad feeling that you get
from something that you shouldn't have done
or wish you didn't do,
or wish you did better.
It's dangerous to dwell on past mistakes
because people sort of define themselves
by the worst moments that they've ever had.
They don't like the feeling of failure
so they keep low expectations
so that they never have to feel that.
You got to get through it.
You know, first and foremost,
I think about my life and I think about adversity
and I think about opposition.
But for the most part of my life,
I've been on this quest to figure out
how can I work hard for something
and my performance is not based
upon the outcome.
How can I work in my effort and my motivation and my drive is not based upon what the product
will be, but more so based upon me taking pride in what I do.
And so I came up with this thing called process over product.
And what I mean by the process, I'm talking about the way I handle my business on a daily
basis and the way I go about every single aspect of my life.
I live by this thing called empty the bucket.
But what they don't understand, it's an unspoken law.
empty the bucket. It's an unspoken law of accountability and responsibility to me on this earth in my existence and everybody that is connected to me.
I may be crazy, but I don't know. I just believe that I'm supposed to give everybody that is connected to me the better version of me.
Be kind to yourself. You are actually doing the best you can.
It's really heavy when you start to look at your, you know, you look at your life, you look at your health,
You look at your business, you look at your family, you look at your relationships, and you look at all those things that are messed up in all those areas.
And when you say all those things, all those problems in my business, my life, my health, all those things are my fault.
That's really a heavy weight to bear.
But it's also extremely liberating because if it's all your fault, you're the one that can fix it.
Yeah.
You're the one that can get your business back because you can repair the relationships.
You can get yourself healthy.
Like, you can take control of all those things.
the one holding me back.
I was the one looking for the escape, though.
And I was the one looking for all these ways to say,
it's okay, David.
You're a loser, you're a born loser, so it's okay.
It's all me.
The people around me are fucked up.
They're not going to save you.
You got to save yourself, my friend.
I was like, man, this rest of your life is going to suck.
It is going to suck.
Not because you're going to be a loser,
but because you're going to,
finally start to win. And winning is not easy, my friend. Winning requires you to go so far deep
inside yourself. It's way beyond the surface. It's way beyond intuptial. It's going to a place that
a lot of people haven't visited in a long, a long time because they're afraid to visit that
person because when they visit that person, they don't know who that person is anymore.
There are times where you want to quit.
It's natural.
You get frustrated.
You've been disrespected.
You're discounted.
There are people who overlook you.
Well, don't quit.
Resign.
Resign yourself to the fact that there's more inside of you.
Answer the desire, that thirst inside of you that says,
I deserve more, I am more, I want to be more.
Resign yourself to the fact that you.
that you will improve and do whatever it takes so that you become everything you were called to be.
You've lived a life dominated by doubt and fear.
How do you step into bravery?
That step towards your fear is the step into braver.
Because we're scared of what we don't know.
And there is only one way and to know.
And that is to confront that fear.
You have to step.
You have to go.
And this simple action, this simple attitude,
it answers so many questions.
See, all of us have greatness within us.
But when you don't come to grit with your greatness,
if you don't work to develop it,
if you're not seeking it out,
if you're not finding where it is,
If you're not trying to locate it, if you're not experimenting with your life to try and find out what fits for you.
I'm saying that you're positioning yourself to be a miserable person, an unfulfilled person.
Some days I win.
Some days I don't.
But each and every day, I get back up and I move forward with my fists clashed toward the battle, toward the struggle.
And I fight with everything I've got.
You've got to develop a sense of urgency.
Well, you said, stop living your life like you have a thousand years to live, son.
Life is a grindstone.
And whether it grinds a man down or polishes him up,
depends on the stuff that he's made of.
One day or day one.
One day or day one.
I'll do it one day.
Okay, that's up to you.
Or, day one.
This is day one.
This is day one.
That thing I have had in my cross airs, that thing that I believe gets me out of bed, that thing that I run towards, that thing that I want to be passionate about, that thing I want to accomplish.
Today is the first thing.
Today is day one.
So in life, it's real important to do what you say because that's where true knowledge comes from.
I wanted to quit every single day.
But many dreams die while suffering.
And many of us out here have suffered.
And when you're suffering, I'm not talking about this physically.
I'm talking about emotionally, spiritually.
It could be a relationship.
When you're suffering, you give up on the very things
that you want it the most.
You can't outrun your demons.
They'll always know where you're hiding.
Trust me at that.
They print money.
They don't print time.
They don't print opportunities.
You can lose money and get it back.
You can't get time back.
But if you can remain hopeful in spite of all adversity,
if you can just go to bed and just wake up tomorrow.
Every time you wake up, that's a sign from God that he ain't through what you feel.
Why continue?
Why continue on that path?
It was dark.
And it was cold and it was lonely.
I've been there.
I know how that feels.
And it's scary.
And it's lonely.
This message is for the people who feel like all they have left are going through the motions.
Like all they have left are the cold and the dark which seem to have become the only company they have.
This message is for you.
When you find yourself walking through the dark, through the cold,
in search of the light in search of a lifeline,
realize that you were not supposed to find a light in this arena.
You were supposed to become the light.
It's the kind of life that turns your alarm clock into an opportunity clock.
The beautiful thing about understanding why I'm doing what I'm doing
is when life knocks me down in those ventures,
it's so much easier for me to get back up
because I know exactly why I am doing what I'm doing
and I can focus in on it, and I can take adversity,
and I can take challenges, and I can take obstacles,
and I can overcome them with positivity and remotivation
and another level of focus,
because I understand exactly why I'm doing, what I'm doing,
and why I'm spending my time,
the most valuable resource I have in that particular area of my life.
Your life is not a practice round.
It's not a rehearsal for the real thing, and there's no redo.
So of course in this journey we're all going to fall at some point, but we were not meant for failure here.
So when you feel tempted to give up, when you feel tempted to hang your head in front of failure's face,
realize that although you may have bruises and broken bones, they will be a testament in the end of how far you have come.
If you will resolve with whatever life hands you to carry on, there is nothing that can stop you.
you from achieving the greatness for which you were created.
Once something's important to you, it never leaves your mind.
I live for today.
I don't care what happened yesterday.
I live in the moment because that's the only thing we have in our lives are moments, moments and time.
And as soon as I've gone out of that door, we can never reverse back and play it again.
You've just gone through a breakup and it's the worst thing you've ever been through.
Some of you, you lost your job and you thought that job,
was it. And so all of a sudden you're sitting there and you're thinking, man, I thought my life was together.
Now it's in shambles at my feet. No, it's not. It's all right. A blade does not become strong until it's been
through the fire. The price of regret is much heavier than the price of discipline. You never want to
wake up one day, one week, one month, one year down the road and go, man, I wish I would have listened
to my gut. I wish I would have done this thing. You don't want to live in regret. If there's something
you want to get done and work, your relationships, school, whatever it is, do it.
There is no prize out there. The only prize is this one and what you feel and what you want to
accomplish. I mean, to want and to be ambitious and to want to be successful is not enough.
That's just desire. To know what you want.
To understand why you're doing it.
To dedicate every breath in your body to achieve, if you feel you have something to give,
if you feel that your particular talent is worth developing, is worth caring for,
then there's nothing you can't achieve.
You are that candle, you are that flame.
You were supposed to be there.
You were supposed to walk through this show.
because it needs a light.
Everyone eventually goes through periods of great difficulty,
their own private elves, their dark nights of the soul.
But it is by facing whatever light gives us with courage and determination
that we grow more surely toward the stars.
As a matter of conscious experience, the reality of your life is always now.
And I think that this is a liberating truth about the nature of the human mind.
Probably nothing more important to understand about your mind than that if you want to be happy in this world.
The past is a memory. It's a thought arising in the present.
The future is merely anticipated.
It is another thought arising now.
What we truly have is this moment.
At the end of the day, everything that we do starts and ends with our attitude.
How we perform, how we function, how we get along with others.
It all starts with attitude.
Now the beautiful thing about attitude is there's only one person that gets to decide our attitude, and that's, of course, ourselves.
It's changing the conversation in your own head.
It's recognizing your greatness.
It's recognizing the great things you were put on this earth to do.
It's not the fact that you are unblemaged.
It's the fact that you are unbothered by that loss.
And you go back to the drawing board and find out what does it take to win again.
That takes real greatness.
You have a rematch clause in your life for a reason.
That's why every day is a new day.
It's a rematch against everything that has ever defeated you,
and you get to go back at it.
You don't make it.
No one makes it.
Every day, you have to be trying to do better.
Make sure that you approach life with a learned perspective.
You're a better person.
You were the day before.
And whatever you're trying to do, whatever it is that you're doing,
you're trying to do better every day.
That's just that day.
The next day you've got to go back to work.
You can decide that you're going to stand up to life.
You can decide that I'm going to live each day as if it were my last.
You have the power to make that decision.
You can decide I'm going to work on myself and develop myself.
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.
I'm in charge here.
deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure, that it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us, and that
your playing small does not serve the world, there is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you. All of the time that you have spent,
being humble, being quiet, being meek in the corner of the room, has not been noble.
It has not been an act of valor.
It has been an act of cowardice.
Believing that you are not worthy of stepping into the spotlight,
that you are not worthy of sharing your voice,
of encouraging, of uplifting,
of being the example of excellence
that may just inspire the person next to you.
That positive self-talk about who you are
will make you become that person,
that person that other people will see.
I have to believe that I'm great.
I have to believe that I'm kidding.
I have to believe that I can win.
And if I do those things, we can make that happen.
The man or woman the arena has been waiting for,
and your name is being called and echoed from the foundations of the earth
with a plan from God to enable you to win.
All you have to do is stay in the fight.
It's never been about your record.
It's about how much you're talented on.
All you have to do is stay in the fight.
We managed to never really connect with the present moment and find fulfillment there because we are continually hoping to become happy in the future and the future never arrives.
It is always now.
However much you feel you need to plan for the future to anticipate it to mitigate risks, the reality of your life is now.
Even when we think we're in the present moment, we are in very subtle ways, always looking over its shoulder, anticipating what's coming next.
We're always solving a problem and it's possible to simply drop your problem if only for a moment and enjoy whatever is true of your life.
life in the present. The things that influence us the most, the things that affect the way you
think and feel and live your life and the actions you take and the results you get, most of what
controls us are invisible forces. Visible forces and the most powerful of forces of all are human
emotion, anger, rage, love, passion, compassion. Those will change you more and they're invisible.
But they determine the quality of your life.
Overcoming the negative conversation that inner dialogue is going on all the time, all the time.
Even when you don't want it to be there, you can't stop yourself right now from thinking.
You can't do it.
It's going on.
And so learning how to empower yourself, part of doing that is standing up to yourself.
You've got to stand up inside yourself sometimes and say, shut up!
That's why you've got to learn to make a conscious, deliver, determined effort.
to stand up inside yourself, working on yourself, watching that inner dialogue,
it will determine the quality of your life.
Playing small does not only affect you.
Why do you play small?
Why do you choose to remain silent when you know you were meant to speak up?
That happiness and success is available for every last one of you.
But I'm going to tell you what you're going to have to do.
You've got to change your mindset.
If you plan it on being successful, you have to change this here.
The difference between successful people and non-sufficiency.
successful people is right here. It ain't no difference. It ain't none. I ain't got no more than none of y'all
God gave me the same thing he gave y'all. But you have got to change your mindset.
If you want to become the best version of who you are supposed to be, risk is required, period.
Whatever success means to you properly define it, but always look at it in terms of do I love what I do.
Do I know what I'm doing?
If opposition and adversity happens,
will I still believe in what I'm doing?
Can you be committed to the process of what you're doing
without being emotionally attached to the results of what you're doing?
Can you be committed to it in the midst of opposition,
in the midst of adversity?
Because if you can be committed to it in the midst of opposition
in the midst of adversity, now you can believe in it.
So when it goes wrong and it doesn't play in your favor,
you can still believe in what you're doing
and you're not going to run, love what you're doing.
Know what you're doing, but above all, believe in what you're doing, man.
Practice makes improvement.
You can always better your best.
You can always go beyond anything that you have ever done.
You'll never hit a state of perfection.
You're always bigger than what you do.
And so all you're looking for new breakthroughs through practice and practice and practice,
you'll get better and better and better.
You've become a drifter in life.
In other words, you are like a rudderless ship.
You are not going under your own power.
You are letting the currents of life, of circumstance, of the opposition, determine how you feel, how you think, what you experience.
I think it's believing in the 85-year-old version of you, who's exactly who you want to be,
and then ruthlessly looking at the discrepancy between the pittance of a human that you are now compared to that man or that woman,
and then step by step, breaking down the many differences
and starting on the first one and pulling the thread.
The idea that self-love is holding yourself
to a highest standard than anyone else does,
you believing in you more than anybody else does.
No matter what tragedy we go through,
we are still great.
We are still magnificent, we are still significant.
You must remember who you are,
and whose you are.
Don't allow the tragedy that happened around you be the reason you quit believing that you could do great things.
We are more than what happens to us.
We all.
Move on.
Straight up.
Move on.
Forget them.
Let hold of it.
You let hold of it.
And when that thing tells you to quit, you look at it in his eye and say, I ain't going nowhere.
I will break you before you break me.
You will not defeat me.
You will not destroy me.
Some of you are so ignorant.
You've been through so much hell.
You're going to quit now?
You should have quit 10 years ago.
You should have been quit.
You don't quit now.
It's the 10th round.
You got two more to go.
And when you get to success, it's not about skill.
When you get to a certain level of success, it's about stamina.
It's about stamina.
It's about you won't break me.
You can't take me.
I fought too long. I fought too hard.
As life unfolds, life comes at you with so much.
It's going to be certain seasons in life to where you're in a season of just enduring.
You just got to endure right now, right?
Whatever you're going through.
Sometimes you're in that season of, man, it's time to endure.
Those things are necessary so you can become a different version of yourself and you can grow
and learn from these experiences.
So one day you can go back where somebody else is going through something and you
You can share them.
But in terms of you framing acceptance as saying that I am comfortable with who I am and
I cannot be better and I must be satisfied with that is the biggest embodiment of failure
that I can imagine.
There's a difference between saying I am good enough and I am good.
So you could say I am good enough for my current state based on the work that I've put into it,
but I could be better.
You can accept that the work that you have done has created the outcome that you've created,
but you do not need to accept that the outcome that you've created.
is the end-all be-all and the last outcome that you need to have.
But deep down you know that something more is for you.
And that's the risk.
And as scary as it can be, as terrifying as the leap may seem.
That risk, the edge of where you are and where you can go is where life begins.
That space is where you feel alive.
That voice that's calling out from inside of you, it may not be the voice of encouragement.
It may be the voice that says, stay where you are.
We're comfortable here.
And it will give you every reason and sell you every clause of why it makes more sense to stay.
And the place where you can go, the version of you that awaits, it won't say a word.
Can you sustain the failure to opposition?
and the challenges.
Because the one thing I can guarantee,
you're going to get hit with opposition and adversity, doctor.
I don't care how cute you are.
Don't care how strong you are.
Don't care how nice you are.
It's coming to see you.
Don't care how grand your dreams and your goals are.
It's coming to see you.
Uncare how nice of a person you are.
It's coming to see you.
I don't care how motivated you are.
It's coming to see you.
That's why it says adversity causes some cast a break.
and other cats to break records.
If you say the truth and nothing else,
you'll have an immense adventure as a consequence.
You won't know what's going to happen to you,
and you have to let go of your clinging to the outcome.
You have to let go.
But the truth will reveal the world the way it's intended to be revealed,
and the consequence for you will be that you'll have the adventure of your life.
The challenge is not potential.
The challenge is not even talent.
The challenge is desire.
They said effort is the indicator of interest.
And so I think the biggest challenge is that people have potential.
They actually have some skill set.
I just think most people don't want it.
They don't put forth the effort.
And you only give it 70%.
What would life look like if you gave 120%?
What would it look like if you actually work for every check you got?
I truly believe that the difference between humans is,
how bad they wanted.
Make ownership of it and decide to go back to the drawing board and rewrite the script that you
are the star of.
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 have to do here,
and I want higher ground.
I want to begin to experience more love.
I want to have more adventure in my life.
life. I want something that gives my life a sense of meaning. Now I can appreciate that
life is hard. I can appreciate that it's a struggle. I can appreciate that there's
all kinds of things not going away. But guess what? They're never gonna unless you
make it. You're blind to your own weaknesses but you're also blind to your own
strengths. How far could you take that if you
stopped wasting time and if you stopped lying and if you oriented yourself to the highest
possible good that you could conceive of and you committed to that, how much good could you do?
Well, I would say, why don't you find out? And a lot of us have a lot of people who support us.
They support us, go to school, support us with our business, support us with losing weight,
with diets, all its other stuff. But they also support us when we want to quit.
So that's not a good foxhole.
While you're looking to get to the next level, it's truly important.
Look at that foxhole.
Some of those do from high school, from college, that may not belong in that foxhole with you.
Because as you grow, they stay exactly where they are.
And they can't stay in seeing you grow.
You may sit there and look at yourself.
Maybe you're even believing that because you were born a certain race,
or you were born to certain parents,
or you hash any parents, or you've suffered from depression, or you're overweight, or all these
other things that they put in your face to give you the exact excuse as to why you can't achieve
what it is you want to achieve. You need to understand one thing. And that's this. Your hardships,
your challenges, your situation will either be the reason you don't make it, or it will be
the story you tell when you do make it and you get to make that shorts.
There's one thing to be hungry. It's another thing when you're starving for greatness and
starving for success. I know what it's like to operate every single day, regardless of the success
that I've been a lucky son of a bunch to achieve. I operate every day as if I'm starving.
There's something else to recognize. Wherever you are on the ladder of life,
wherever you are in life, ladies and gentlemen, you've got comeback power.
I don't care how low you are.
I don't care what you have done.
I don't care what you have experienced.
I don't care how devastated your life might appear to be.
The shambles it might be is there's a power in you that can enable you to be stronger and better than anything that's out of you.
Bring it to life.
And the only way to bring it to life is to work, to grind and toil and sweat.
and put your life into that vision and make it a reality for the entire world to see.
So stop wasting time.
Stop listening to me right now.
Stop and go out and through the work to bring that vision.
The life.
My number one competition is me.
It's always you versus you.
You've got to be the one to get up every morning,
be disciplined, put in the consistent daily hard work
because that gains success, you versus you.
What you do is you should become passionate about your gift.
Quit tripping yourself out.
You all have one.
God gave all of you a gift at birth.
When he created you, he put it inside them.
You don't got to go discover it nowhere.
It's your E-R-E-R- gave it to you.
It's the thing you do the absolute best
with the least amount of effort.
That's your God giving gift.
Just got to recognize what your gift is.
That's all it is.
You messed up.
Now what?
What do you do now?
Where do you go from here?
Is there, is there a tomorrow?
Is there a tomorrow?
Well, yes.
So I'm going to lay some things out for you.
All right?
If you've messed up, the very first day,
the very first thing that you've got to do is you got to stop.
Whatever it is you did, don't do it no more.
Identify your God giving gift and go pursue that.
Then I'll tell you what changed my whole life
when I finally discovered.
It's all risky.
The minute you were born, it got risky.
If you think trying is risky, wait till they hand you the bill
for not trying.
If you think investigating is risky, wait till you get the tab
we're not investing. See, it's all risky. Getting married is risky. Having children is risky.
Going into business is risky. Investing in money is risky. It's all risky. I'll tell you how
whiskey life is. You're not going to get out alive. People are telling you to set goals,
and I get it. That's a great mindset to have. But I'm going to tell you something. That's a dangerous
mindset to have because a lot of us, we set our goals based upon our experiences, not off of our
capabilities. And what I mean by that, a lot of times when we set goals, we limit ourselves.
Goals are something that should reach. Let's be real. How many times have you reached the goal and
then you got complacent? How many times have you reached a goal and then you fell off? Because you
got comfortable because in your mind, your mind says, I've arrived. And the truth is about life,
the ones that really meet the greatest version of themselves, the ones that really live the greatest
life they never arrive they understand life is not about arriving at a destination
I found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks nothing
Nelson Mandela said there is no passion to be found playing small and
settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living
person who has purpose in their life they have something to
go for, some meaning. One writer described it for some people it becomes a magnificent obsession,
but it has to be something that does something to us, something that pulls us, especially into the
future. You know, there are many influences on us. One is the influence of the past. Some people are
always pulled back, back, back by the past. Some people are always pulled aside by the distractions,
the distractions. But here.
Here's what's powerful.
If you have a list of high purpose in your life,
it pulls you toward the future.
And the more powerful the purpose is, the stronger it pulls.
See, we want to grow, but we want to stay liked by everybody.
I was willing to be my own rescue at the risk of your approval.
Most of us aren't like that, but we want to be liked.
Well, I woke up and I like myself today, so your like is extra.
My job is to like me first.
I was willing to say every day, Lisa, you like you?
Lisa, are you proud of you?
Lisa, are you playing full out every day before I checked in with anybody else?
Everything is happening to you is God is processing.
Every difficult moment you're having, he's just processing it.
Everything you're going through is preparing you for what you ask God for.
And if you need to be tough, when you get to where you're going, then he'll go tough in you.
He'll let you have some trials coming your way that's going to have to produce it.
that in it. It's a big difference between a hard worker and somebody that works hard. Most
cats are somebody that works hard. If the situation and the circumstance is what they wanted to be,
they're going to come out and they're going to act accordingly and they're going to give you everything
they got. But a hard worker, regardless of situation, regardless of circumstance, regardless of what
happened, I'm going to show up and I'm going to give everything I got to it because I'm looking
for something that's totally different. Like, the question becomes this. Can you be committed to the
process of what you're doing without being emotionally attached to the results of what you do.
In other words, if you don't get what you thought you was going to get, will you still be the same individual?
