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 this is day one day one, that thing I have had in my crosshairs, 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 day. Today is day one. So when life is 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. 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 can 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 with you yet. 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 the 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 remitement. motivation 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 from achieving the greatness for which you were created. Once something's important to you, it never leaves your mind. I live for today and I don't know, I don't care what I don't care about. happened yesterday. I live in the moment because that's the only thing we have in our lives, so 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 and 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 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, shh, 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 in 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 feel and what you're 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, 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 the shadow because it needs a light. Everyone eventually goes through periods of great difficulty, their own private hells, 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.
