If you don't like what you're doing and you don't like where you are and you don't like your relationships and you don't like X, Y, or Z, what do you want? What do you like? And then you've got to be able to add passion to it, to activate that

thing and make that dream a reality. Are you fully aware of the bridges that are required to cross over to make your dream a reality? I think a lot of people, they have this vision in their head, this dream, but they don't know how to make it a reality. We navigate through life and we keep missing the bridges to bridge the gap between dream and reality. So do you know what is required of you? Are you aware of what is required of you to make happen what you see only in your head? I want to give you another quote.

Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities which he does not possess. I want you to ask yourself the question, are you the person that is projecting a different you to the world? On social media, on your websites, in your meetings, are you projecting a different you? Are you the same person in private? And I know that there are multiple versions of yourself, or even I have multiple versions of me. But are they consistent? I want to ask you the question, are you aware of your why?

Are you aware of your why? So now that you've discovered, okay, I'm not doing what I want to do. And I need to learn how to do what I want to do. And I need to figure out the bridge, the bridge, the gap between the dream and the reality. Do you know why you want to do what you actually want to do and I need to figure out the bridge to bridge the gap between the dream and the reality. Do you know why you want to do what you actually want to do? What is your why? Because if the why is great enough, if you're aware of that why, then you can begin to back that why up with work ethic. Every why's got to be backed up by work. You want to be committed. You want to be consistent. You want to be creative. You want to be purposeful. You want to be reflective and you want to

be grateful. These are just a few things that you want to be as you are moving forward in your self-awareness. You've identified your weaknesses. You've identified that there is a gap between who you are, what you want, and where you want to be. There's a massive gap. Awareness and the acceptance of that awareness is the bridge to the future. This is going to connect you to your destiny tribe. Your destiny tribe comes with multiple types of people. What would you like to do? What do you believe you've been destined to do? What talents, skills, giftings, and abilities do you possess to support your desire to do it? What are your motives for wanting to do it? Why do you want to become what you are looking to become?

What steps are you taking to become and to live the life, to make the dream a reality? When you have awareness and you have your actions, but you have no accountability, you set yourself up for a great fall. Let me ask you a question. What price are you willing to pay to make the dream a reality? How aware are you? Are you aware of the price that you are willing to pay relationally, emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually? There is a price to pay to manifest a dream you know two of the

greatest moments in an individual's life is the day they were born and the day that they realized why they were born are you aware of your why why are you here what are you doing who are you connected to What are you doing? Who are you connected to? What are your people, your places, and your purpose? Welcome to Daily Motivation, where you get motivated and inspired. Some of y'all been worship since you was in high school, so you don't really know how to grind. Like you talk grind. Like I love it. Like I go into the weight room and y'all playing like Pac. Y'all playing Biggie. Like y'all all in it. Like you like, you like Pac, but you don't have the spirit of Pac. You like love Pac. You

like listening to Pac. You like listening to Biggie. You like to talk about the grind, but you don't really know what the grind's like. I know what the grind is like. I was homeless. I ate out of trash cans. Now, go on the internet right now. I'm one of the number one speakers in the world. I started from the bottom, like you like listening to it and see. Started from the bottom. Now, what's your bottom? What is your bottom when you've been worshiped since middle school? You've been tall your whole life big your whole life they worship you so much now that you think it's about you you don't even know what the grind look like i'm from detroit homeless mama got pregnant with me at 17 years old high school dropout took me 12 years to get a four-year degree i'm coming now it's in view you finally made it to the big leagues and now you want want to chill? Now you got the big head?

Now you can't grind? You here now. You here now. You finally made it. And this is where you break up? This is where you start chilling? This is where you get comfortable? You made it now.

You made it now. You in the big leagues now. They watching you now. This is where you make it permanent. Yeah, I saw it. I saw it. Perfect. Perfect.

No, practice don't make perfect. Practice make permanence. This permanent, y'all. This is permanent. You can go wherever you want to go from here. It does not take talent. You don't have to be talented. Right? You don't have to be gifted. You don't have to be the quickest, the strongest. You don't have to be the most intelligent to get

to where I am. That's what you got to do. You just got to grind though. You're grinding. You got to outgrind. So many of you heard me say this. Your father, listen to me, might own a company. Your mama might be a millionaire. You might come from privilege. Your daddy might hook you up with a car. He might know people. He might be able to get you a job. But you will not outwork me. And what you have to decide in your position in the NCAA, you have to make a decision that nobody in this league in your position will outwork you. I will walk away

with stuff I never heard before, books I've never read before, audios I've never seen before, going to conferences that I've never gone, hanging out with people that I've never hung out with before. This is nothing, God. This is just a dessert. There are those of you with phones, and every new phone that comes out, you get it. Every upgrade, you get it. Every piece of software, you get it. You are upgrading your technology, and you've not upgraded yourself.

Listen to me closely. When you get to the point where enough is enough, when you get to the point where it hurt real bad, when you get to the point you can't take it no more, when you get to that point, the doors start opening. Opportunities start happening. Listen to me very closely. It's our dream. Nobody's going to see it like you do it. It's your dream. Nobody's going to feel it like you feel it. It's your dream. Nobody's going to be as dedicated to it as you are. It's your dream and they don't

have to understand and they don't have to like it and they don't have to do it. It doesn't make a difference. It's your dream. And you, my friend, have been given the task to make it happen. And you can't let anything stop you from doing what you were called to do. When you are doing everything in your power to be the best makeup of yourself, there's always going to be an adversary that's going to try to take that away from you. Now, the best way you can overcome this is having the faith. Now, it doesn't matter what you believe in, as long as it's something that's positive,

that's going to get you through it. A lot of people don't have that ability to be strong. And I'm not talking about the physical aspect of strength. I'm literally talking about the mental and of course, spiritual aspect of strength. Don't let pride confuse your tears. You got to let that out sometimes. You got to let it go. When I lost my mom years ago that was the hardest thing that i had to deal with and to this day i still think about that woman that gave me life and i have my moments when i'm happy about the good times but i also have my moments when

she left this world but that's just one thing that's just one circumstance there are many circumstances I could talk about but I continue to move on everybody gets knocked down no matter how tough you think you are you're gonna fall and when you fall sometimes you fall real hard but that ground is a hard surface and I'll tell you something it ain't gonna move because you're laying on it so you need to rise up and you need to rise above it and you need to start moving. When you get knocked down, how long are you going to stay down? When you lose your job, when you lose that loved one, regardless if it's your husband, your wife, your child, whatever it is, do you have the ability to go through the hurt and the pain of that loss. Regardless of what you're going through,

the best time you know that you are strong is when you're at the weakest point of your life. When you are so far down that hole, you're looking up and you don't see no light, but yet you know there's an end to this darkness. That's when you'll find out just how strong you really are. This is a process, and you have to hurt just a little bit so you can understand what it means

to be strong. So don't give up on your hopes. Don't give up on your dreams. Don't give up on yourself. Just keep moving forward. If you think that you're going through something so bad right now, wait until tomorrow if tomorrow comes for you. Look at the person next to you.

Look at people all over the world if you ever come in contact with certain individuals. And ask yourself, are they going through a lot more than what I'm going through? Because honestly, there are always going to be people that are going through a lot more than you're going through right now. When you're down, find a way to get up. I've been there. I go through it like anybody else, but I have a job to do in this world.

And so do you. I don't think confidence is something that you are born with. It's a skill set. And I had no confidence. So confidence is something I taught myself over the years. I started becoming okay with who I am. I became the best version of me. And then I sort of said, I'm okay.

I'm alright. Even if someone else thinks this, I'm okay. And everyone can do that. People just don't realize it. So it made me understand that confidence truly is the key to getting ahead in life. If you believe in yourself, the world will believe in you. Because perception is reality. As soon as I started doing everything that I love, there was a surge of power, a surge of confidence. I wasn't insecure anymore because the emotion that had the most dominance in my thought process was actually being paid attention to. I'm really sick of being insecure. I believe I'm enough and I believe that everything I have that I need for life to make all my dreams come true, I know it's already inside of me.

It's who you are and being comfortable with who you are that influences other people to say, oh, okay, maybe I could do that. You can't wait for destiny. No one can be that. You can't be like, oh, destiny's going to knock on my door one day. No, it won't. You have to be able to recognize opportunities because there'll be a lot of them that come into your life. And once you recognize an opportunity, you have to seize the day and work bloody hard because there'll be 25 other people who want to do it. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

Right? And to me, when people doubt me, it's a gift. I love that because I believe in beauty and rage and you need both. I need people to love me. I need to want beautiful things for myself and for others. I want to create something amazing. I want to help a lot of people. I also want to create something amazing i want to help a lot of people i also want to prove a lot of people wrong who don't think that i can do this i want to crush the enemies that want to see me fail that want to do anything they can to ensure that i fail i spend 80 of my time here and i spent

20 of my time here and the irony is as darth vader will tell you there's power in the dark side and once you learn to balance those then you really get something interesting and here's another way to say it you have to know when to love yourself and know when to hate yourself I think it's 80 20 again you want to spend 80 of the time loving you and being proud of who you are no matter where you are no matter what part of your journey you're in really loving that you're're showing up, that you're playing. Maybe you're not yet satisfied with the level you're playing at, but no worries. Like you're there, you're doing it, you're showing up. And then 20% of the time being wildly disappointed by yourself, being horrified by the fact that you were so lazy and so afraid of being cold that you wouldn't get out of bed. Like, that's terrifying.

And that that's not acceptable. That's not a person that you're prepared to continue to be. And that you find that so disgusting in yourself that you're going to make an immediate change. And if you don't do that, you'll never grow. You'll spend all your time over here to be pacified. Talk about being pacified by the dream. Merely having the dream. I want to do good things

for people. Have you heard a lot of people say that? Yeah. People say that all day. I want to do great things. I want to help the world. In what way? They don't get specific. So they're pacified by the dream. So you've got this person who's really not living up to their potential, being pacified by the vision of what they could do and who they could become, but they never, to your earlier point, they never find the path to execution. So I find without kicking myself in the ass, without being deeply dissatisfied with myself, 20% of the time, because if it's more than 20% of the time,

you begin to erode yourself. And it gets very corrosive. You'll chip away at your own self-esteem, and that's a total waste. But you do have to be willing to kick your ass. Mindset. So crucial in molding you for success. If you want it bad enough, then you're going to sit there and build it. The path to greatness leads through having a powerful mindset.

I developed a mindset in some of the darkest, loneliest nights, in some of the darkest, loneliest roads. In order to gain a positive outlook on life you have to endure pain you have to go through hardship you're gonna have to sacrifice you have to sacrifice friends you got to sacrifice families you're gonna have to sacrifice time in order to develop. The most powerful tool on this planet. The most underutilized tool on this planet.

A powerful mind. Now. If you really. Don't want what you're asking me for. Then you don't need to take the time. To develop this mindset. But if you really seek out success, then you're going to allow your growth to grow exponentially through pain, through struggle, through hardship.

The time is now. There's no more time to waste. Stop sacrificing your success based off of poisonous people who tell you you can't do this, you can't do that because they're afraid. They're trying to throw their imperfections on you. You're not built that way. You are not built with weak values. Train like a champion. The mentality to train for gym, business, and life,

all intertwined. A lot of your lessons you learn can be applied broadly and resonate with different arenas of your life. Learn from anyone willing to teach. Success leaves clues. When you speak, make your words count. I can't want it for you. You have to want it for yourself.

Start your day with power. Know that you are enough. You are enough and you have what you need to succeed. You are enough. You're equipped for need to succeed. You are enough. You're equipped for greatness. You're powerful beyond your greatest imagination. In business, sports, and life, you have to develop a championship mindset, which sets you apart from the pack.

Once an obstacle confronts you, you're going to kick it down. You're going to overcome. You're going to rise. You're going to rise. You are a champion, a warrior. You must build a mindset for success that can endure pain and trouble because the world comes. Your mindset will make or break you. Mindset matters. Anybody I tell you differently don't have what it takes to be great.

You can develop it. You can mold it. I want you to push whether you're an All-American athlete, All-State, All-World, or All-Nothing athlete. Whether you're an all-American athlete, all-state, all-world,

or all-nothing athlete, whether you're the CEO, the CFO, or the janitor, or even jobless, don't allow anybody to confront you with their fears. No, not today. tomorrow not ever I am unstoppable I have the mindset to succeed on the field in the business world in every arena of life it's time to value your health your passions not your not your mother's, not your father's, your

passions. There is nothing that can stop me. Not you, not her, not anybody. Because I am amazing. I am great. I am phenomenal. So are you. So are you. So are you. trying to meet the expectations of everybody else. And it's not wrong to have people have expectations on us.

But at the end of the day, man, if you're only focusing on what you're supposed to be and what you're supposed to become, it's going to have all this anxiety attached to it because we fall short. And I had to learn the hard way, man. We are all beautifully broken somehow, some way. We've all got stuff.

And it's not about you being perfect. And it's not about your performance all the time It's about daily progress because nobody can judge you if you're applying yourself with your effort. You only know you And you can sell yourself short this year if you want to and you can cut the corners if you want to and you can Do just enough to get by if you want to but I promise y'all man as you guys grow up and as you want to and you can do just enough to get by if you want to but i promise y'all man as you guys grow up and as you continue to mature and as you look back in the rear view mirror of your life if you don't take control and understand that this is your moment and if you don't take control of this man regrets thoughts of man i wish i should have and I could have. And only what if they will come alive.

You're at a place and a space in all of your lives right now that you control your destiny and nobody can take it from you. And I want you to dream big and dream outlandish. And set goals and benchmarks that seem sometimes even too far to attain. And I didn't realize it, but I developed these five habits in my heart and my mind that's changed my life. I call them the five. And it wasn't until about 18 months ago

that I realized I had developed these attitudes and these characteristics and these habits that's helped me be 10 years sober. That's helped me be 10 years sober. That's helped me be 10 years since I've thought of it in my life. That's helped me be 10 years since I've self-harmed. It's helped me be 10 years since I've had an eating disorder. That's helped me 10 years overcome depression, anxiety, all these issues.

It's these habits that I've developed and I've now recognized it was these things that I was intentional of wanting to be better at. It's changed my life. And I call them the five. And they're simply this. I learned to be transparent. I learned to be accountable. I learned to work hard.

I learned to make good choices. And I had to value people. Those five things will change your life forever. And those are five things for you to learn to do when you graduate college, when you're off and beginning your career, and after your first mistake. These are five things right now as high school students you can begin to say, I want to develop on these each and every day. You see, when I talk about being transparent, transparency literally means see-through. I had to live a life that I understood something, that if I wouldn't allow people to see my hurts, my pains, and my struggles, if I wouldn't live a life that was somewhat see-through, also find the courage to talk about my hurts, my struggles, and my pain,

transparency really is this. to talk about my hurts, my struggles, and my pain. Transparency really is this. It's taking off the mask and the fake smiles and the fake faces and acting like you just don't care, but being honest and truthful with somebody in your life, that mentor, that coach, that trusted, caring adult, those best friends, where you're willing to be transparent and speak up and speak out and understand that it's okay to not be okay and it's okay to make mistakes but

you have to own them a lot of us will talk about it but we're so afraid to take the steps called accountability where you allow people to speak into your life see accountability isn't you giving people permission to hold you accountable and get you into trouble accountability is for you because you've already decided there's some areas in your life that you want to change and change takes intentional choices to be different hard work works you can't get around hard work, y'all. Our culture, let's be real, we're lazy, y'all. Be honest. It's so easy for us just to jump on Google

to find every answer to every question that we want. And at the end of the day, yep, you may get an A, but not every A is an A. And this is what I'm saying by that. You can jump on there, and you can cut the corners, and you can make every little

loophole and still get on the surface what looks like an A but you didn't learn anything about life why would you rob yourself the ability to really grow in life not every A is an A I don't care what you say at the end of the day you can't get around hard work. And this is what's amazing about this world we live in. Success, it's not that difficult, y'all. The majority of the people don't really want to put in the work. They don't want to pull up their sleeves and actually go after their dream. We all like to talk about it. We all like to post about it. We all like to tell people about it. But talk is cheap. What you do is what you believe y'all sometimes you just have to believe in yourself nothing can be achieved until

first it's believed you have to believe it to see it. Sometimes the easiest way to get what you want is to just start. To just take that first step. You can do and be anything that you want, no matter what. No matter what you've been told and conditioned to think growing up. Start from today to believe that you can. We know what we want, but we don't do anything to actually go and get it. All the while that you're standing around waiting, doubting yourself, telling yourself you can't have this and you can't have that for whatever reason, you're never going to get it. Focus on how your life will

be better and what your life will look like when you get what you want. Greatness isn't achieved by that one massive thing you do. It's those tiny little consistent baby steps we take every single day that add up to achieving that goal. Amazing things happen when you believe you have something. Your brain actively goes out to make it happen. Believe that you can do it and work hard to get it and it's yours. We are all born with the same amount of time in a day and anything that they can do, you can do too. If you want to do something bad enough, you can get it. You have an opportunity right now that you'll never have. People say, why you grind so hard? I might not be the number one motivational speaker

in the world five years from now. I gotta get everything I can get right now. Every book I can write. Listen to me, my school is being paid for by the athletic department. I'm hot right now. A real man in the dark, when nobody's watching, he putting in work.

A real man when coach ain't even watching, he's studying film on his own. Because he loves the process. Because real lions like to hunt. They love the process just as much as they love the prize. And some of y'all just want to score. You don't like the process. You're not in love with the process you just like to put the pass all you love when it's your time everybody in the car you like hey mom can't see you can't even start until you know your people there once you see

them you're like showtime day. Day after day after day. Grind after grind after grind. Airport after airport. Driving mile after mile. E.T., aren't you tired? Yes. I might be. I don't know.

E.T., aren't you ready to take a break? Yes. I might be, but listen to me. I can't. Why? Because I grind for Jalen. I grind for Jada. I grind for Didi.

I grind for my mother. Are you hearing what I'm telling you? I grind for Jaylen, I grind for Jada, I grind for Dee Dee, I grind for my mother. Are you hearing what I'm telling you? I grind for Vanessa, I hustle for her. So the days I want to hit that alarm clock, I think about my wife, I can't quit. My son $25,000 a year, I can't stop, he counting on me. My daughter, I can't quit, I can't stop, I can't get tired, I can't give up, I can't give in. My mama counting on me, my wife is counting on me. Yeah, I might be different, but I am brilliant. Yep, I might be loud, but I am special.

We can go from being homeless in high school dropouts to having PhDs, writing books, and becoming the voice of a generation. We can do whatever we believe we can do, and we don't need anybody's permission to do it but ours. I am phenomenal, and I don't owe anybody an apology. I am going to do great things, and I don't owe anybody an apology. I am. I was created to be great.

I was created to do great things. I was created to have great things and I will no longer ask others for their permission. One, two, three. I am. One, two, three. I am. One, two, three. I am. One, 2, 3 I am 1, 2, 3 I am 1, 2, 3 I am I am great Listen to me And I don't owe anybody the apology

I am I am I am I am I am I am. I am. I am. I am. If you will be a champion, if you will be a beast,

you're going to have to go through something. Thanks for listening. Kindly support the movement of this podcast by supporting us or subscribing to our premium content for more exclusive stuff. When you do so, you also get a shout out in our next episode. Thank you.
