I'm talking about the war in your head. This hard, this uphill battle is the path less taken, not the beaten path everyone else takes. It's the path that leads to character. You gotta earn that. If you constantly keep throwing shit against the wall, eventually something will stick. Never give in to what you want. We all fall down in life. The question is who gets back up? Welcome to Daily Motivation, where you get motivated and inspired. Are you going to say you want to do something, do it for two weeks and then quit like you did last

year, like you did the year before last. You say you want to lose weight, get in shape, get your business off the ground and then turn around and party, get lit, drink alcohol, eat like crap and continue to live below who you were created to be. No, no, no, no. It is time to go from mediocre to meteoric. It is time to go from mediocre to meteoric. It is time to go from being counted out to being counted on. What is it that will make it worth it for you to face the rejections? What is it that will make it worth it for you to brainstorm and not be intimidated and say, I can do this? What is it that will make it worth it for you to raise the bar on yourself and say, I've got some more stuff in me. What is it?

And the problem with most of y'all, every time something goes wrong, you start running and doing what other people tell you to do. And what you need to learn how to do is you walk into your belief system. Look at your belief system every single day and stick with it. Don't rush the process trust the process a man's character is not judged after he celebrates a victory by but but by what he does when his back is against the wall so no matter how great the setback how severe the failure you never give up

man stop borscht if you really got a problem with your life you'll change it Fear the failure. You never give up. Man, stop bullshitting. If you really got a problem with your life, you'll change it. You're not tired of being broke. You're not tired of being stuck. You're not tired because if you was tired, you would actually do some shit about it. Excuses sound best to the person that's making them up. Anybody who is determined to do something, who wants something to be different, it will eventually be different. Where will you be in your business, in your life

at 36 months? Not because you hope, because you decide. If there's something you once envisioned and now it's real, it's because you decided there's something you wanted so bad that you unleashed all your desire. You became obsessed with it. You didn't just envision it, you brought so much emotion to it that now it's in your life. It was once a dream, it was once a goal, and now it's in your life. It may have seemed impossible at one time, so how did you do it? You started with a concrete vision of what you wanted and you focused on it continuously, didn't you? You have got to make a declaration.

This is what you stand for. You're standing up for your dreams. You're standing up for peace of mind. You're standing up for health. You want it and you're going to go all out to have it. It's not going to be easy when you want to change. It's not easy. If it were, in fact, easy, everybody would do it. But if you're serious, you'll go all out and say, in spite of this, I'm in control here. What makes some people leaders and other people followers? What makes most people talk about a dream and never follow through, and other people

just a small percentage kick ass, take names, you can throw any obstacle at them, they find a way to break through it. What's the difference? It's not talent, it's not skill, it's hunger. If you get enough hunger going in you for an answer, you'll find the answer. If you get a hunger enough inside of you that says, I gotta take things to the next level, I gotta achieve, I gotta make a difference, I gotta expand, you will find the answer. If you get a hunger enough inside of you that says, I got to take things to the next level. I got to achieve. I got to make a difference.

I got to expand. You will find the answer. People's intelligence will expand if they got enough hunger. But if you got everything and you're not hungry, you're not going to have much. If you stay in your comfort zone, that's where you will fail. You will fail in your comfort zone. Success is not a comfortable procedure. So you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable if you ever want to be successful.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place. And I don't care how tough you are. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. Our world wants to try and tell you who you are, but you can't listen to the world. You can't have a faith that's dictated by the world. You got to have a faith that dictates this world. The enemy's going to try to label you. You're a loser. You're a failure. Your past is too big, but you better know who you are. I want to see how far I can go. I want to see what I can accomplish. I want to see what I can do,

what I can be, what I can have. I want to see when you want something bad, you can't count the cost because if you count the cost and you see how much it costs, you might quit. You might give up. So you got to go in knowing that I don't count the cost. I do as many push-ups as it takes. As many sit-ups as it takes. As many reps as it takes. I study as long as it takes. I pay whatever the price is.

Why? Because if I start counting the cost, I might quit. I might give up. I might surrender. Don't count the cost. You'll get to a point where you don't count it. You just do whatever it takes to get whatever you want. There is nothing in your life that's worthwhile.

That's quick and easy. Everything worthwhile is uphill. Does it come to you? You have to fight for it every day. You have to climb for it every day. I want to ask you, what are you going to believe? Are you going to believe in yourself? Are you going to believe? Are you going to believe in yourself? Are you going to believe everybody else's judgment on you? You see, I will try 100 times to get up.

And if I fail 100 times, if I fail and I give up, do you think that I'm ever going to get up? No. But if I fail, I try again and again and again for as long as I try and this weighs that chance of getting up there's two sides of pain there's one side of pain that's the suffering and the discomfort side of pain but then there's another side of pain that's called effort it's called effort. It's called glory. And if you never tap into it, it's because the first time you felt it, you backed off. The first time you felt that burn, the first time you felt that it's too much. And we rationalize with ourselves to where we automatically stop. That's why a bunch of us give up so much in life so quickly. But suppose I told you

the greatest pain of my life is the reason I'm standing here today. See, sometimes we think the pain is what controls us, it's actually our subconscious mind that if we ever tapped into that, that's what dictates most of our lives. Life is rough. You can allow it to destroy you

or you can allow it to build you up. Draw the line, ladies and gentlemen, and just say enough is enough. You don't have time. You don't have support. You don't know the best way. And you're too tired or you're too sore or you're just plain not feeling it. Lies, lies, lies. And the list goes on and on. And it doesn't stop. If you don't make it stop, recognize the excuses are not valid. They're conjured up. They're fabricated. They're lies. And the truth is you have time, you have the skill, you have the knowledge and the willpower and the discipline to get it done. So many people have lost their day and thus their week and thus their month and thus their year and thus their whole life's agenda to distraction. What are some things you need to immediately stop doing in your life?

Is it social media? Is it watching seven seasons of a show every week? What do you need to stop doing to take back control of life? What do you need to start doing? And what do you need to start doing every day, every week, every month, every year to be on your A-game? Discipline buys you freedom to do what you want. We do not retreat. We do not give up. We do not surrender. And the reason why most of you are not successful is because every single time stuff not going your way,

you give up, you quit, you let go, and people feel weakness. They feel it. You can feel when somebody's not committed, when they're not all in, when they're not dedicated. And there's another level you get to when you go all in every day do something that moves you toward that goal that keeps that goal alive and insight and in focus however small or insignificant that step might seem take it

do it make it happen because that goal isn't going to achieve itself it is all on you what's gonna separate you from everybody else i do things to separate myself from everybody the passion that i have the grind that i have when i do what i do i've got a different motor i've got a different grind you get a breakthrough when you fight. That's the hardest part because the breakthrough, that last 10% is all mental toughness. You should figure out what is it you desire in life and figure out the steps to get there and start working a plan to get there and minimizing everything else. Getting very clear on the mission, very clear on the mission and working the plan. Everything else, guess what it gets?

A no. So if you want to win, whether it's this year or next year, you're going to have to get real comfortable keeping your head on your plan and put the time into making yourself happy. You concentrate on winning. You concentrate on dominating. Listen to me. Meditate on this stuff.

Focus on this stuff. And when we focus on that, that's where our energy is Listen to me. Meditate on this stuff. Focus on this stuff. And when we focus on that, that's where our energy is going to go. I need you to take ownership of your thoughts. I need you to stay with me. This is my mind. These are my thoughts. I control what I think. Not the circumstances, not the situations. I control what I think. I choose where I'm going And I will use my thinking I will use my thoughts To make the rest of my life The best of my life

If you lose the job Keep the faith If you lose the spouse Keep the faith If you have to downsize Keep the faith If you have to move in with your mama Keep the faith

If you have to wits in Keep the faith If you have to catch in with your mama, keep the faith. If you're at your wit's end, keep the faith. If you have to catch the bus, keep the faith. If you have to thumb, keep the faith. If you get sick, keep the faith. If you lose your kidneys, keep the faith. If you got heart trouble, keep the faith. You might not get a new heart, but you gotta keep your faith.

When things are going real good good when you first start off life is playing with you you're gonna hit a wall you're gonna be going and things look great you're excited you're gonna tell everybody about it and then all of a sudden

you hit a wall wham and that wall shocks some people that wall discourages some people some will choose to go back And that wall shocks some people. That wall discourages some people. Some will choose to go back. Stay with us. We'll be right back. Hey there, fellow listeners.

And there's some small number who, when they hit that wall they decide wait a minute i'm supposed to be over there this kind of person refuses to be denied this person doesn't care about the pain this person comes back again and again and again A lot of people live their entire lives not knowing, entire lifetime not being happy because

they feel as though they're not fulfilling their purpose. And sometimes you graduate out of high school you look for that job you look for that career college the degree you still question is this my purpose what's your purpose for living do you know your purpose? What you're created to do? Until you find the center of your being, you will continue to walk. Everybody just wants to be comfortable. Everybody wants to sit in the car. I don't want to go outside. It's cold. I don't want to do this. It's hot. Like you've got to do things that you don't want to do because you show your body that your mind is the boss. The consistency of work, Monday, get better. Tuesday, get better. Wednesday,

get better. Right. And you do that over a period of time, you know, not like one month or two months. I mean, it's three, four six seven eight nine ten years and then you know you can get to where you want to go what do we do in those moments when we're feeling the most pain and we're going i cannot go one more second you have to attack you have to keep attacking through through discipline through self-discipline, through repetition, through tons of repetition, the same thing that you don't want to do. And that's the key thing. Through repetition of things you don't want to do, you develop mental, like an armor for your mind. Start to armor your mind. Because your mind's like, okay, we suffer. We suffer every day.

It's what we do. We do stuff that sucks every day. So then when the suck stuff comes, you're ready for it. My whole life, I've seen people from every different strata. And in all of those different groups, there were some people that were successful and got the job done. And some people that were unsuccessful and couldn't get it done we like to take these very quick fixes in life we want the six minute abs approach to life yeah nah man there's no permanent in that yeah there's no permanent in that man

there's no scarring they must be scarring it's about choice the people that are successful decide they are going to be successful they make that choice and they make other choices they decide to study hard they choose to work hard they choose to be the first person to choose to work hard. They choose to be the first person to get to work and the last person to go home. They choose to take on the hard jobs, take on the challenges. They decide they're going to lead when no one else will. Nothing is permanent. Nothing is permanent permanent and a lot of times you have to learn to perform without motivation you have to learn to perform without purpose you have to

learn to perform a lot of different things and that's what people think they think i need to have this motivation to work out to study to be better So if they don't have it, they just don't fucking do it. And that's where you fail. You have to learn to train your mind well beyond motivation. You're always going to have to do shit that you don't want to do. Don't let it distract you or depress you

in such a way that you can't fulfill the love obligation that you have within you. Do it gracefully. Do it happily. Don't personally identify with it. Just see it for what it is. It's the night time that allows you to appreciate the day. It's the winter time that allows you to enjoy the summer.

It is the other side of the coin and it will always be there 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 now i'm sure in your experiences in school and applying to college and picking your major and deciding what you want to do with life i'm sure people have told you to make sure you have something to fall back on make sure you got something to fall back on honey but i never understood that concept having something to fall back on. If I'm going to fall, I don't want to fall back on anything except my faith. I want to fall forward. If you don't work on the one thing, the most powerful

weapon in the world is your mind so the answer your question is this whether it be physical pain or mental pain we all have to start from zero with pain and what that means is if you don't go back we all have something that bothers us everybody in this world is insecure about something. Something has messed you up. And whenever you're in physical pain, even though you might not be thinking about that mental stuff that happened to you, your mind is thinking about it. All these dungeons that we've created, all these trap doors that our life has created, most of the time we quit is because we don't have any mental tools to get us through the other side so my whole thing for people is

you have to examine why are you doing it in the first place you have to really want you know whatever you're going for if not all these questions that come up like I said hi how you go one more step further your mind is gonna ask you all these questions how can you go one more step further if you don't have the answers to that and I can't give them to you you have to know why am I here and if you can't ask those questions you will. Take the call to adventure into the unknown and risk everything for what's merely a dream.

See, the thing is, most of us are focused on what the result is going to be. Perhaps you could be an Olympic gold medalist. This is that call to adventure that every boy faces between the ages of 17 and 23 that not only end up in the attainment of some particular goal, because we never even know what the goal will ultimately be at the end of it.

We think it's one thing. A lot of times it changes. But because of who you'll become when you take that journey, because now you're embarking upon a journey that's going to require the development of a lot of your character traits. You're going to have to become a new person. You're going to face a lot of challenges. The reason why they call it the Call to Adventure is because you're going on a fucking adventure. You're going out into the wilderness. You've got to sell yourself every day on your abilities,

on what you're doing, on the goal that you want to reach. You've got to sell yourself every day, every day, every day. According to your level of belief, it will manifest itself in what you're doing. Whatever we have right now, whatever we're demonstrating in our lives is a result of what we believe subconsciously that we deserve. And part of increasing that belief level is that you have got to convince yourself every day.

Success is merely the hangover of failure. And that failure is an essential ingredient in creating a learning atmosphere for you so that you can accrue those learnings those small incremental steps of failure and collect enough learning so that you can arrive at success you're going to fail and that's okay because you know what you know down deep inside of all of you that's how you learn Man stop bullshit If you really got a problem with your life, you'll change it

You're not tired of being broke. You're not tired of being stuck You're not tired because if he was tired you would actually do some shit about it I'm tired of everybody running around complaining as if you're on the receiving end of whatever this world wants to dump on you and you don't have a choice. It's time to grow up, man. Excuses sound best to the person that's making them up. Anybody who is determined to do something, who wants something to be different, it will eventually be different. And I know that can be hard. That's why people lose the war. That's why people never achieve their strategic goals.

They lose the little battles, the death of a thousand cuts, one missed workout at a time, and then another, and then another, and it all adds up. Why? Because we don't think about the big picture. We don't see the decay we are like the frog boiling in the pot as the temperature slowly increases one degree at a time one degree closer to death one degree closer to failure every failed

experiment is one step closer to success you You've got to take risks, and I'm sure you've probably heard that before. You will fail at some point in your life. Accept it. You will lose. You will embarrass yourself. You will suck at something. There's no doubt about it. If you don't fail, you're not even trying. To get something you never had, you have to get something you never had you have to do something you never did we all go through difficult things horrible things heartbreaking things the kinds of things we wouldn't wish on somebody else but

the job that we all have is in the face of that. We have to construct a narrative about it that moves us forward, that you should do and believe that which moves you towards your goals. And I see people every day that tell themselves the story about themselves that they are worthless. So we have to find a way to construct a narrative about ourselves that empowers us, that lifts us up. Even though, even though we make mistakes, even though we fall down, even though we're never going to get things right all the time,

and even though terrible things happen to us, take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step. You just got to believe that you can learn. You don't have to believe that you're already capable of doing what you want. You don't have to believe that you can already build that thing that you dream. You don't have to believe that you already are extraordinary.

You simply have to believe that if you take that first step you put yourself on a journey not of execution you put yourself on a journey of learning so that you can execute and that when you understand that difference that's when you really will be on that path to greatness and that is the thing that I want for everybody listening to this please understand the only thing you need to know is that you have to take the first step. Whatever the vision is that you have for your life,

you absolutely can make it come true. And the process is very simple. The process is about learning. The process is about growing and getting better. It's about recognizing what you're not good at. It's about recognizing what you have to learn. It's about taking that first step on faith. Once you have that faith, once you know that simply being a human being puts you in this

rare category of creature that can get better through pressure, through pain, through difficulty, through failure. Those are the things that are going to be the building blocks of your success. But in order to begin on that road, in order to have your first glorious failure, you must first take that first step. No one said that the path is going to be easy. And it's not. We know life is rough and we know there will be pain. And whether that pain is at the hands of an enemy or at the hands of nature or time or disease, there will be pain. The sun doesn't shine every day.

The storms will come. There are times when the nights will be long and dark and you will be alone. There will be times when the darkness seems to consume everything. Even in the darkest times, even in the strongest storms, even when the sun is blotted out and the world is falling apart, the darkness cannot extinguish your light.

There are moments when you're going to doubt yourself. It takes a lot of guts to get up. You don't have nothing but lead in the corner of your pocket. You're out here talking about living your dream. And people laughing at you. And they're doubting you. It takes guts, ladies and gentlemen. No guts, no glory.

But let me tell you I believe in revenge like Frank Sinatra he said the best revenge is massive success if you can get through to doing things that you hate to do on the other side is greatness gotta have the mentality to show up every day of your life my what life throws at you it's our mentality to show up every f***ing day of your life. No matter what life throws at you. It's our responsibility to show up to the coliseum of life. Prepared for f***ing battle. I don't care what you're going through. What life's throwing at you.

It's your responsibility to find your new 100%. Every single day when you wake up, you got two options. You can look at the clock and hit the snooze. You can look at that snooze button, boom. You can hit the snooze button and go back to bed. And dream about what you want to have or you can look at that snooze button kick that clock and get up and go pursue your dreams there are going to be days where you do not feel like doing anything those days are going to be there no matter what path you take. Stay encouraged, keep your head up, stick your chest out, continue to walk with pride and know that if it was easy

everybody would do it. It's not gonna be easy but we have what it takes. What you will realize is that you have greatness within you. What you'll realize is that you're more powerful than you can ever begin to imagine that voice that nagging voice of weakness the one that tells you to back off to simmer down to take it easy when you hear that voice tell it no tell it to sit down and be quiet. Learn how to get excited when that feeling creeps in of I don't want to do it. And when those test days become something that you live for, something you look forward to, now you're talking about a whole different level of mindset. You're talking about an unstoppable force of nature that cannot be f***ed with.

When you're uncommon, get ready for the criticism. When you're uncommon, get ready for the criticism. When you're uncommon, get ready for the opposition. When you're uncommon, get ready for the common people not to understand you. When you're uncommon, have uncommon ways. Get ready for people to try and block you and conspire against you. Just winning is not enough. You're not maximizing your potential. You're not becoming who the you could become

but dominating people who are winning that's something that'll leave you a legacy the world does not reward mediocrity you know what the rest of the world wants to pay you for be the best at one thing you gotta put more energy you gotta put more effort in your stuff than anybody so you getting up at 4 and they work get up at 3 30 so you read the book once and you didn't get it read it twice read it three times because you know you can do more you know you can be more and that's the truth that's the truth and it eats the truth. And it eats you up. No complacency. No complacency. No backing off. No slack whatsoever. Fight. the things your friends won't tell you when you're kidding and moaning about how your life sucks on Friday night drinking a fucking brewski with your boys. That's the shit your mom won't tell you when you're sitting in your mom's basement playing fucking video games when you should be reading

or improving or working out or fucking doing something. It doesn't matter how you feel. It doesn't matter how frustrated or angry or depressed or upset you are. All that matters is that you do what needs to be done on a daily basis over and over and over again. And if you do that shit and it gets done, it's irrelevant how you feel. And I can tell you this, if you do that shit for long enough, you're going to feel a lot better about your life than you do right now. If you want to make your dream become reality, the people that are running at their dreams know that it's possible that you can live your dream. That it's necessary that you're relentless, that you have a plan of action, that you are creative, that know if it's going to happen, it's up to them and they're resolving within themselves. It's not over until I win.

The people that are running after their dream know they're going to have hard times. They keep on running because they're saying within themselves, no matter how bad it is or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it. If you can survive temporary pain, on the other side of temporary pain, you will meet another version of you. By the way, all pain is temporary. The only thing permanent is our soul even our bodies are temporary so all pain no matter what it is it is temporary and if you can survive it on the other side of it you will meet personality traits emotions thoughts

people circumstances versions of you that you didn't know existed before look at your belief system every single day and stick with it. Don't rush the process, trust the process. Don't rush the process, trust the process. Don't rush the process, trust the process. It's not easy reaching your goal. It's not easy changing your life. It's not easy trying to build a business and people are negative and saying no every day it takes a lot of guts many of you will not be successful because you got this giant goal and no steps to go with it you're just in your mind like girl this is my year how many steps i don't know like what is it gonna take me to do it? I don't know. you feel like this is the end.

You have a choice to either give up or keep going. Give up or get up. You just take one step at a time. When you fail, try again. And again. And again. If you know how to concentrate your efforts and be focused on one thing, you have an edge. If you can be focused on one thing.

Everyone in the world has a list of things they think they should do. I should lose weight. I should work out. I should work harder. I should make more calls. I should, I should, I should, I should. And then you know what?

People don't do their shoulds and they get mad at themselves and they, what I call, should all over themselves. They beat themselves up about it. What changes people is when your should becomes a must. When suddenly the thing you said should happen has to happen. That's when human beings change.

You cannot erase the work ethic part. There is no getting around. Ain't no elevator to the top. You got to take the stands. The elevator don't go to the top, man. Not in the world of success. You got to take the stands. Y'all got to start getting gritty, man.

I hate it when I see young people wasting their time, wasting all this technology, just sitting around in this world that's been created for you, that everything is instant. But if you can combine your technology with your parents and your grandparents work ethic, you could be rich. The key with me is no one will outwork me. No one. I love and I respect you guys. Motherfuckers won't outwork me.

I'll start with this. Two hands. One better way. Don't give up. Don't give up. Stay in it. I'll give up. Stay here. Stay focused. You can plan your life to be ideal today and I guarantee you there will be things that happen along the way that were unplanned, that will look as if they're unfortunate,

that will feel as if the world's coming down on your shoulders. But those are also the greatest lessons. Some of the best things that we've ever learned from people happened because they were going through some time of discontent and they said, how do I overcome this? What can I do about it? And there's other people who would have to face that if it wasn't for that knowledge,

if it wasn't for that experience. But it's because they did something. They didn't just fall victim to that. You're going to face some hard times you're gonna get slapped around and don't take it personal don't ask why did this have to happen to me it's called life it happens to everybody difference between a winner and a loser the failures there at some time this is the winner gets back up it does it again it does it again until it goes his way

Don't cry to give up cry to keep going don't cry to quit You already in pain you already hurt get a reward from it Bill collectors are calling and your phone might be cut off and you might lose your job. It takes a lot of guts You don't have nothing but lit in the corner of your pockets You already talk about living your dream and people laughing at you and they're doubting you it takes guts you got to dig down deep to gut it out keep on going again and again and again it's hard no easy it's not an option however ladies and gentlemen what you will discover is that it's worth it. I hear the clock ticking. Time waits for no man. Life goes by and it goes by quick. Don't waste those years.

Don't waste them. Live them. Back off. Negative. Not happening. In fact, I'm stepping it up. No complacency. No complacency.

No backing off. No slack whatsoever. it fight fight that ticking clock with everything you got in the earlier you get in the game the better life you're gonna have and many of you are not where you're supposed to be not because you're not gifted you have absolutely no discipline I need you to confront you because you don't want holding you up. I need you to confront you I Just beat me this ain't about nobody else. I don't give about nobody else. I just beat me I'm in a battle with the only person that I really want to can be and that's me if I can continue to outdo me

from the day before then I'm ahead I don't know what your future is but if you're willing to take the harder way the more complicated one the one with more failures at first their successes the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning more victory more glory then you will not regret it whatever you choose for a career path remember the struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose you will have good days and you'll have bad days but you will always learn something more or something new and you will learn more overall on bad days than good days you will learn more about yourself you'll learn more

about relationships you'll learn about life and principles and it'll build your character I stand before you without arms and legs but a very strong man because of the bad days in my life you may have arms and legs but unless you know three things number one who are you what your value is number two what is your purpose here in life and number three what is your destiny when you're done here if you don't know the answers of any of those three questions you're more disabled than I stay focused don't listen to nobody what's's on your mind, just do it. Because what's destined for you, you're going to get it.

When you're obsessed, people think you're nuts. So it's different. If no one thinks you're crazy, you're not yet operating to the outer limits of your potential. You're not there yet. Because somebody in your life should say, man, you really care about this in like a crazy way you could be misunderstood by everybody because you're going to be so obsessed and so driven to get there that's what it takes takes every second of your life anybody says balance yeah balance is important for a lot of people it is but if you want to go to that edge where people do not like you don't understand you question everything you can do you've arrived when people don't understand you anymore you're in that spot of obsession and drive

one thing i learned in life you can never bring somebody up if they don't want to go up you can't no matter how good you think you are no matter how much you want to tell them you could help them if they don't want to go up there's nothing you can do but the reverse is not true somebody bad could bring a good person down because the negativity in the world is much more stronger than the positive sometimes and the negative people can bring you down so i stay stay away from negative people. I just walk away from them. Everybody's got a dream. Everybody's got a goal. What's the plan?

And when you're trying to do something that you're truly passionate about, there is no plan B. Think about that for a second. Michael Jordan won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls because he was committed to plan A, not plan B. Oprah Winfrey became the queen of all media because she was committed to plan A not plan B plan B sucks I hate plan B every thought that you put into plan B you're taking away now that thought and that energy from plan A I've never ever had a plan B.

I made a full commitment that I'm going to go and be a bodybuilding champion. I made a full commitment that I'm going to be in America. I made a full commitment that I'm going to get in the show business. And I'm going to be a leading man no matter what it takes. I will do the work. I will do the work over and over and over until I get it. The comfort zone is dangerous. When you're comfortable, you are at most dangerous.

You should never feel comfortable. You should be happy and dissatisfied. Anybody ever tell you, hey, look, you know what? Just be satisfied with what you got. Don't believe him. Get him away from you. You should never be satisfied with what you got because the attempt to get more makes you into something better. Do you have the guts to fail?

If you don't fail, you're not even trying. To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. Pick up the pace. You're walking too slow. Pick up the pace. You're moving too slow. Pick up the pace. If you want pick up the pace you moving too slow pick up the pace if you want to finish sometime you can't just finish you gotta finish fast you don't have as much time as you think you do you master the

present you master the present when you feel like giving up, don't. When it look like you ain't gonna make it, keep going. When they tell you you can't, come on, man. Who are they? When they tell you you're not gonna make it, don't believe them, man. Don't believe them. You got to be relentless at some point you got to be tired of not being number one and you gotta can play angry and i play

angry you gotta work every day doesn't end while you're over there watching me and talking about me i'm working i'm working hard i'm taking things to the next level you keep gossiping and i'll keep working you keep talking smack and i'll keep working you keep focusing on everything and everyone else and I'll keep working and when you finally look around at where you are and where I'm at you realize that you have nothing left to talk smack about it you will lose and I will win but I tell you there are some times in life where you fall down and you feel like you don't have the strength to get back up. And fear comes in.

Just that fear paralyzes you. And I just want to ask you today, do you think you have hope? You have to lose your fear of failure. Failure is a part of the process. People who never fail, never try. You have to fail. You gotta get it wrong to get it right. You learn nothing from winning.

You only learn from your failures. Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real.

But fear is a choice. We are all telling ourselves a story. It was hard, ladies and gentlemen. It was very difficult to pick myself up each day believing that I could do it. There were times that I doubted myself. I said, God, why is this happening to me? I'm just trying to take care of my children and my mother. I'm not trying to steal or rob from anybody.

Why did this have to happen to me? I don't care how good you are in anything. You don't have discipline. You ain't nobody. You're nothing without discipline. Because you give up on the slightest struggle without discipline. Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it. A person with passion always stands out.

The world is so full of average. But once you have passion and a sense of energy in your life, it distinguishes you. When you're passionate about something, it isn't reasonable, but you do it anyway. Passion will take you where nothing else will ever take you. It'll give you that decided edge. It'll help you to stand out. It's not easy reaching your goal. It's not easy changing your life. It's not easy trying to build a business and people are negative and saying no every day.

It takes a lot of guts. What do you do when a thousand other people want exactly what you want what if you're not the only one that wants what you want what if there are thousands of other people who want what you want you have to outwork them you gotta outbind them you gotta get up earlier you gotta stay up later you've gotta stay up later. You've got to execute and you've got to go from 70 to 120 You guys didn't understand what you don't have to do. You don't have to work hard. You don't have to eat right. You don't have to sleep right. You don't have to do more than what's required of you. You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do But you also don't have to win. You don't have to be a success in life

So the greatest things in life take sacrifice and discipline and that's why so few people achieve great things because they don't want to sacrifice they don't want to discipline from something greater so you see all these people that have great things in life that you look up to it's because they were sacrificed and disciplined long before you ever knew them i don't care if you have to inch your way day by day. Even if you have to get down. And it hurts. And it's hard. And nobody can see what you're really going through.

If you don't quit, the pit will become your platform. The challenges you have right now, they're there to push the greatness that is inside of you out.
