Nobody is going to give you anything that you have not earned. Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination. You have to remember that whatever you've gone through, it pales in comparison to the hardships previous generations endured, and they overcame them, and if they overcame them, you can overcome them too. Dreams without goals are just dreams, and they ultimately fuel, disappointment. So have dreams but have goals, life goals, yearly goals, monthly goals,

daily goals. In order to achieve your goals you must apply discipline and consistency. You have to work at it every day, you have to plan every day. Hard work works. Do I have weakness? I am nothing but weakness. I'm not naturally strong or fast or flexible. I'm certainly not the smartest person in the world. Now, all that being said, I have the same. A person's strength is often their biggest weakness. But their weaknesses can become strengths.

Me, I am weak. In all those ways, I am weak. And everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer. Never give up then, but that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. Never give up then, and that is so important. When you're working on doing the things you want to do and fulfilling your dream, and things happen, there are times and your energy feels so depleted that you want to give up that it looks just totally impossible.

And I can tell you from my own personal experience, don't give up then. That's when you've got to fall forward, when life is kicking dirty, Dirt in your face. Don't give up then. That's when most people turn back. And ladies and gentlemen, that is what gives your life meaning. That you're going to start working on that dream. You're going to work and nurture that idea. You need an antidote to suffering and it has to be deep. And no, deep moves you tectonically.

And it's not a trivial thing. But that's better than happiness. And maybe if you're lucky, while you're pursuing that and while you're immersed in it, you get to be happy and you should fall on your knees and be grateful for that when it happens. You know, it's a gift. It really is a gift.

And it comes upon you unexpectedly, your happiness, you know. But you aim to climb uphill to the highest peak you can possibly envision. And that's better than happiness. The time is now for it to be okay to be great. People in this world shunned people, for being great, for being a bright color, for standing out. But the time is now to be okay to be the greatest you. Conversation is the one you have with yourself.

You wake up with it, you walk around with it, you go to bed with it. Eventually, you act on it. I'm not going to quit. And this is what I found out. This is my 40% rule. When your mind knows it's not going to quit, your body will adapt to whatever is in front of it. I don't accept that I am what I am and that that is what I am doomed to be. No, I do not accept that.

Struggling and I'm scraping and kicking and clawing at those weaknesses. As human being, so into with this, don't stop on your time. You must have faith. You've got to believe in yourself. You've got to believe in your abilities. You've got to believe in your service, your company. your ideas, unquestionably. You've got to have faith, and that faith gives you patience

that is not going to happen as quickly as you want it to happen. A lot of things are going to happen that will catch you off God. And so therefore you've got to deal with and handle it as it comes. And not only that, but that faith and patience drives you into action. It's about the daily labor, the many individuals, individual acts, the choices large and small that add up over time, over a lifetime, to a lasting legacy. That's what you want on your tombstone.

It's about not being satisfied with the latest achievement, the latest gold star, because the one thing I know about a body of work is that it's never finished. It's cumulative, it deepens and expands with each day that you give your best, each day that you give back and contribute to the life of your community. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You're not even getting started, not by a long shot. To find the greatness that lies within each of us. So don't ever shy away from that endeavor. Don't stop adding to your body of work.

I can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort.
