And I sit around and I say, okay, 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. I see a whole bunch of people walking around out here who have no idea how talented they truly are. Now I'm going to talk about talent, like some God-given ability, talent that sometimes you have to hone, you have to work on, and you have to harness yourself. And they just walk around, it's clueless to how powerful they are. are. The thing is, man, it's always going to be a party. It's always going to be a time to celebrate

and at a time to join friends. And I mean, the bars are always open. Always open. You know, how old are you are, they're always open, you know? What's not always open is the opportunity to check the box in life, you know, achieve your dreams. That's not always open. The more I listen to this, the better my life gets. If they don't have what you want, Don't listen to what they say. There's no greater waste of time than justifying your actions to people who have a life you don't want. It's okay to be afraid. It's okay to wonder, will you make it, do you have all the talent, the skills that are necessary to go to the next level?

Everyone has fear. But you can't allow fear to cripple you, can't allow fear to stop you. What you have to do is remember the courage is simply when prayers have covered over field. The human spirit is by nature, an enduring spirit. Endurance is more than a mere word. It is an art, an art of not just surviving, but thriving in the face of life's most formidable challenges. This grand journey of life is simply a symphony of experiences

that include moments of pure joy and periods of profound hardship. It is easy to celebrate the highs, yet during the lows we discover our true strength and capacity. Champions aren't found on the podium with their hand up. No. Champions are found in the lab studies, the thousands of hours of hard work when no one's watching. That's what makes the will unstoppable when you're hearing no one else is, and you're pushing yourself harder than anybody.

with no one around. Inside your heart, inside your soul, you must see yourself achieving and doing what no one in your family has ever done. You must see yourself as the one who is the generational curse breaker. You have to see yourself as the person that is going to be strong enough

to lift the family out of poverty. You have all the skills and all the talent. All you have to do is surround yourself with people who will encourage you and challenge you to grow. Don't take the easy. You will. Your ego must die.

Who you are today is no longer resourceful for who you're going to be, who you are to be next. For you to fulfill your greatest purpose here on this planet in this lifetime, you have to have multiple deaths to immature versions of yourself so that you could be reborn as a stronger version of yourself. That's how the process goes. There's a moment when every boy realizes no one's coming to say. And that's when he becomes a man. No one's effing coming to save you.

Don't quit. Get off your butt. Get out of those stands. Get in arena. Doubt is such a strange thing. I mean, it's, you know, there'll be times where you succeed and there are times that you fail. So, wasting your time, doubting whether you're going to be successful or not,

it's pointless. It is. You just put one foot in front of the other. You can just put one foot in front of the other. control what you can't control, and then you see what the outcome is. If you win, great, you're going to have to wake up the next day and do the journey over again. If you lose, it sucks, but you're going to have to wake up the next day and do the journey all over again anyway. Right, so it's really pointless to sit here and debate or have doubt or this and the other.

You train as hard as you can and you step out there and you let it flow. When life gets dark, I mean at the darkest of times, there is a light within ourselves that can guide us forward. We have the choice to follow that light, that personal enduring light that can carry us through on to victory. We are not victims. We are victors. Listen to your inner voice. You are a victory. You will succeed.

You will come out on top. The best version of yourself is yet to be revealed to the world. You have the reserves of inner strength. You have not yet tapped. Don't let anybody ever tell you. you're not good enough. Okay? And so many young people think that they can't,

or they're not, they don't have the potential. Or if somebody else is better, I'll forget everything about it. I mean, you know, if you really want something bad enough, if you really, really want something bad enough, you'll figure out a way to get there. I think having a sense of urgency is very beneficial. And understanding that your time is limited can aid you greatly. I think knowing that this is a temper,

time that we have finite life spans. There's great power in that because it motivates you, it gets you going. Most humans who could ever exist never will. And so the fact that you exist at all is against stupefying odds of who gets born and who does not. Realizing this, you are you, I and me. We are alive. We get to die. And to get to die means you get to live. Any moment you spend squandering those moments you are alive does disrespect to all those who will never even be born.
