Just don't give up, even if right now it doesn't make sense. One day, I'm very, very sure when you start to see the connections and things fall into place, you will maybe also realize that it couldn't have been different. Giving up was just simply not a question, or simply never an option. The winners continue where the losers stop. So what stops you becoming the fullest version? It's the things in you that whisper to you that you cannot be the things that you hope for. It's not usually prohibitions, it's inhibitions.

What stops us are the lies we believe that are not true. You launch towards your goal, never consider the possibility of failure. Always forward, never backward. Always forward, never backward. Never consider the possibility of failure. Your ability to persist in the face of setbacks and disappointment is vital. to all great achievement and it's always a decision that you make. It's not the external environment. It's always the internal environment.

Opportunity mixed with difficulty. Opportunity mixed with challenge. We've got a chance to grow like never before, but I'm telling you, there's going to be many enemies that's going to try to prevent us. As soon as you plant the garden, the busy bugs and the noxious weeds are out to take it and you've got to learn not only to nourish your values, you've got to learn to do battle with your enemies. Whatever it threatens you, I'm asking you to threaten it back. Take care of your responsibility, but don't take anything off anybody. So many people talk about legacy.

I want to leave a legacy. They use it in such a way that it sounds like it's easy. But it really, in order for you to leave a legacy, you've got to live a life worth recording. One that can be an impact, one that has a voice long after you are gone, an echo that goes into generations long after you've left the face of the earth. Greatness has no moods.

You can't just be in the mood to be great. You can't just be in the mood to be a hard worker. You can't just be in the mood to be disciplined. It doesn't work that way. It has to become who you are. It has to consume you. It has to be your identity. Despite what I'm going through, despite my past failures,

despite what people are saying about me, I'm going to get it done. I'm going to execute. It's not what I do. It's who I am. and life will seem like it's giving you hundreds of reasons to not execute today, but it's just a test to see how bad you really want it. The version of you that you are right now is why you have what you have. You got to make a complete identity switch to get something different.

And so what happens is when people aren't ready to do that, they will always go back to the low-hanging fruit that they're accustomed to because your presence will require something different. So I was just failing. I kept failing and kept failing. So I had to teach myself how to fail right. And what that means is when I fail, I can't spend much time in that fail zone. I have to be able to get up and get after the next day just as fast. So the big thing is know that 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?

The easiest thing in the world to do is to complain, blame, and quit and settle. That's the easiest thing in the world to do. But it takes real work to deconstruct and to reconstruct the thought process and the mindset of an individual when they're trying to change something. You've got to stick to the script. You've got to continue to take steps every single day. Even if things don't always work out, don't waver. Don't just start to go off the path because you're not getting what you want. You know what I mean?

and trust the process, have faith that things will work out. And at this moment, what you're going through is teaching you something. In life, you have to have no fear. You have to have no fear. You have to believe in who you are and what you do. You just go fucking get it. What are you waiting for? In all honesty, what are you freaking waiting for?

You know, there's not just going to be a day where for no reason, you're going to just wake up and say, I'm going to go to the gym every day in perpetuity. It doesn't really happen. Most people don't lead their life. They accept their life. And when you accept your life, you are living on things that are not worthy

of your time and effort and energy. To go uphill, you have to be intentional. Nobody ever went uphill by accident. You've never read a book on accidental achievements. You have to be intentional with what you do and who you are. As far as I can tell, it's just about letting the universe know what you want and working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass. Your job is not to figure out how it's going to happen for you, but to open the door in your head. And when the door opens in real life, just walk through it. And when I say,

life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you, I really don't know if that's true. Why not take a chance on faith as well? But faith, not hope, but faith, not hope, But faith, I don't believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire and faith leaps over it. You know yourself better than anyone, but sometimes you fall into the trap of believing the world. You're the only one who knows what's best for you.

You don't need to look for answers anywhere else. They're inside of you. There's going to be noise from every corner. Ignore it. Stay true to yourself. Because when you do, every challenge becomes a victory. waiting to happen. Every day, sunrise, sun goes down.

So that means there is a up, there is a down. Since we are born, we have inhaled 50% of our times, we have exhaled 50% of our times. Our heart, the same. Sucking the blood, pumping the blood, also the same. Meaning always 50-50. always the exchange between left and right up and down bright and dark in and out success and failure

the hardest thing to get people about success the hardest thing is to start start man every morning when you get up say over over to yourself do it now do it now do it now do it now I do it now. Do it now. Whenever you have this tendency to procrastinate, program your subconscious mind with this automatic conditioned command. Do it now. Do it now.

The key to overcoming procrastination is to develop a sense of urgency. Be the kind of person who gets things done quickly. Be the kind of person who launches fast on a task. Five choices, you know, in our life. You know, we can be bad at what we do. I mean, we can be average at what we do. I mean, we can be good at what we do. we do, or we can be excellent or we can be elite.

And everybody has a choice as what they want to do and how they want to do that. But if you're going to be excellent or elite, you've got to do special things. You have to have special intensity. You have to have special focus. You have to have a special commitment and drive and passion to do things at a high level and a high standard all the time. It doesn't matter what God-given ability that you have. That probably can make you good. But without the rest of it, I'm not sure you ever get excellent or elite.

It's someone so focused on the future that they don't just live in now. If you're looking over your shoulder, over who's coming after you, you can never leave a legacy. In order to leave a legacy, you've got to be the one looking forward. You've got to see the future and predict the things that come and come off of mute and echo your voice into the future by what you invest in others. It's about your DNA. What are you investing in? Remember that it's not the things that happened to you. Like, you might not be able to control everything that happens to you, right?

It's inevitable. Things are going to happen that are out of your control. But the one thing that is always in your control is how you respond, your perspective, your mindset. And that's the thing that you need to be taking responsibility for and taking accountability for is how you respond to these things that happen to you in life. Things are going to happen. You're going to be hurt. They're going to get faced with you. adversity you're going to be heartbroken right you might lose somebody whatever it may be there's so

many things that will happen to you that aren't in your control and you need to focus on responding in the way that is going to help you that is going to nurture you and help you move forward instead of keeping you stuck don't really let anybody take away that dream from you nurture it water it like you water the flowers even if you find only one person in this world that will that will accept, embrace, and support your dreams, find that person, and dream big because you can make it. The goal that you seek or the prize that you're seeking is in the work that you're not doing. No matter where your goal is in terms of its height or how delusional it may seem, he's still going to eat for it and figure out whether or not you'll get there later.

Something in you has to wake up and you. Usually the only person that can wake it up is you. But if you don't have a little flame, you're done. I can't be light it for you. And that's the harsh reality of this life that I want to get across so fucking bad. You have to explore, examine the insides of yourself. And what do you really want in a life? Thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body.

And how you think and how you think and how. you feel creates your state of being. So if you think insecure thoughts, in a matter of seconds, you are going to feel insecure. Brain is monitoring how you're feeling and you think more insecure thoughts, which then makes you feel more insecure. And the repetition of that cycle conditions the body to become the mind of insecurity. And whenever you say, I am anything, you are commanding your mind and body into a destiny. Even if you're tired, you can still go to the gym. Even if you're annoyed with your spouse,

you can still speak in a manner that's loving. Even if you don't feel like doing that hard work, you can still push yourself to do it. Your feelings aren't a choice. Your behavior and your thoughts are always a choice. Life is about loss. As time goes on, you lose fights, you lose people we love, you lose our hair.

Then we lose our life, you know. It's all a loss. But by these loss, by some of these losses, we learn so much. When everything is falling apart in your life, when people are leaving you, when people are betraying you, when people are not coming through with their word, are you still going to put in the work? Are you still going to execute? Are you still going to do today what you told yourself that you would do yesterday? Seeing opportunities, instead of seeing punishments and instead of seeing down,

turn turns in your life, seeing opportunities, it's just going to have such a much better impact on the way you, where you get to. A constant vision of what it is you want to achieve. See it accomplish and go all out. Find a way to win in spite of the setbacks, in spite of the disappointments, in spite of your failures. I tell people, fail the way to win. to success. I have a saying is life knocked you down, trying to land on your back, because if you

can look up, you can get up. I'm continuing to take the steps each and every day, and moving the direction that I know is aligned with, you know, my calling and my truth, then I know that I'll get to where I need to be when I need to be there, right? And all that's doing is distracting you from moving in the direction that you need to be moving into, you know, and the more you focus on what everybody else is doing, the more you're going to continue to make decisions that aren't aligned with what you should be doing.
