You see, discipline is the difference between the man you are and the man you keep pretending you'll become one day.
Discipline is the bridge.
Discipline is the weapon.
Discipline is the father you never had.
The mentor you never met.
The structure your childhood never gave you.
And until you built it, your purpose will stay locked behind the doors you won't walk through.
Become a man your future can stand behind.
You want success, discipline.
You want a stronger body, discipline.
You want peace?
It's discipline.
You want love that last?
It's discipline.
You want God to elevate you.
It's discipline.
Dreams are so romantic, but the world doesn't reward potential.
It rewards.
Nobody cares how gifted you are if you can show up.
Nobody cares how smart you are if you can't execute.
Nobody cares how much you want it if you won't work for it.
Discipline separates the men with the fantasies from the men with legacies.
Because the battle is not outside, it's inside.
Your greatest opponent is not another man.
Not your environment, not your past.
It's the voice inside of you that says, do it later, sleep in, you're tired, you deserve a break.
You work hard enough.
That voice has killed more dreams than failure ever has.
Keep showing up, Queen.
Keep showing up, King.
Keep showing up to the world.
It's your time.
Everybody wants to feel inspired.
Everybody wants goosebumps and hype.
Everybody wants that fire in their chest,
but motivation fades.
Emotions lie and feelings flip.
The man without discipline is dangerous to his own future.
You're fighting habits passed down for men
who never learn how to control themselves.
You're fighting patterns built in houses
full of chaos, emotion, and survival.
But let me tell you something powerful.
Discipline is generational orphan.
You don't rise because you feel like rising.
You rise because you said so.
Because you command your flesh to obey your future.
You think discipline is punishment?
No.
It's protection.
Protection from the weaker version of you.
The day you wake up early and pray, read, build, train,
Read, build, train, work, focus.
You are breaking change.
Your father never broke.
Your grandfather never broke.
Your whole bloodline never broke.
So today, right here, right now, make the declaration.
This is the season I become dangerous.
This is the season I become disciplined.
This is the season I become the man I was created to be.
And once you decide, don't break your word.
You better not break your word because your destiny is watching.
Your legacy is listening.
Your future is waiting.
Now go become the man your purpose has been praying for.
The world doesn't respect talent.
It respects discipline.
Yeah, talent is cute.
Potential is sweet.
Dreams are so romantic, but the world doesn't reward potential.
It rewards discipline.
Imagine you want to start a business or getting shaken.
You start to realize how difficult it is.
The excitement fades.
The results aren't there.
But that's the point where most people give up.
That's also where champions are made.
I want you to think of the greats like Michael Jordan,
Mary Curry,
Martin Luther King,
what they all have in common.
It's not a perfect journey to the top,
but an ability to keep showing up
when it would have been easy to quit.
But here's the secret.
You don't have to be extraordinary to start,
but you have to start to be extraordinary.
You can lose that weight,
but only if you keep showing up,
Day after day, early mornings, late nights, even if you're tired and you don't feel like.
Every day that you keep showing up, you send a message to life saying, I'm here to stay.
I'm here to fight.
I'm here to win.
Others may quit, but not me.
Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
I gave too much of my time to this dream.
I gave too much of my soul to this dream.
Gave to my heart.
I gave you the last words that I can leave on this earth
to help another kid that buried his mother
and buried his father before they became men and women.
The journey in life
is one of the hardest journeys you will ever take
because you spend your whole life
searching to become this great person
but when you finally make it
the people that you wanted to save
is no longer living
so you gotta find another
passion another inspiration to keep going
God leaves your gift at the bottom of the stairs
and it's up to you to keep climbing
it's up to you to keep fighting
it's up to you to keep clawing
and believing in your purpose
believing in your dreams
and believing in the impossible
live full
and die empty
become a gladiator
become an individual that steps in the light
and doesn't run from it
but run towards it
That's the true making of a king.
That's the true making of a queen.
Keep showing!
Because life will never stop until the dirt covers you.
But make sure when that dirt covers you,
the world remembers your name forever.
Keep showing up, kid.
The German woman is made.
The journey.
The places where you bury loved one.
And you gotta keep going on without it.
The German.
When you've been going to interviews for months and months and months
and they give you that call back and they say,
I'm sorry, we just didn't have what we were looking for.
Is somebody out there right now?
Is somebody out there talking about quitting right now?
And I want you to look at me in my eye and listen to me.
Listen to me, special.
Walk at McDonald's, you are special, your gifts.
Your special gifts, you were born with him.
That's where you would find it greater.
The German.
I read you to understand this.
It's you versus you.
Your dream versus the war.
Let him see it.
Let them see the shot.
Some are going to fail tests, some are going to lose family members.
But wouldn't I?
Keep talking to take it.
the dream that hurts you, the dream that bites and eats at your soul.
Because this is the only thing you want to do.
But just like when coach used to say, keep running, I can hear him out, he said,
keep running, will you?
This journey of your life, this journey full of ups and downs,
are you ready for it?
The rest of your life are you going to rise and keep running?
Versus you.
You. Listen to me again, I need you to understand this. This is you versus you. You see,
once you stop paying attention to everything that has nothing to do with you, your life
will change. You wake up every single day, you get on your Instagram, you get on your Facebook,
and what do you do? You scroll up to see what's going on in other individuals live.
I need you to teach you the lesson of staying in your lane,
understanding your unique gifts that you had to give this world.
You see, what I would relate to you guys with is the fact that I started off with a terrible household.
I started off with people telling me you're going to be just like your father.
with the echoes of the daughter screaming that you will stay in this pit of head for the rest of your life.
And as I watched around me, other kids listened.
Other kids made this a part of their DNA.
They decided to make this their reality.
But I ran away.
I ran towards my dreams because I understood that if I do not make it,
my family dies in this pit of head.
But the only way I can start running is when I realized that it was me versus me.
Not him versus me or her versus me or them versus me.
It was me versus me.
Intention to the man that's already 100 miles ahead and focus on your next step and become a king.
And stop asking for other people to make you great.
And you take it.
This will not be given.
to you will not just be handed to you.
You're going to have to take it.
Force or power
for pure work at me.
I'm talking about relentless effort.
I'm talking about that ordinary being
the so-called extraordinary man.
I'm going to tell you a story about one day I had to wake up
and I had to go all the way down to another city
to speak and I had no money to get there.
That was a dollar in 25 cents.
and 25 cent.
A burned desire to make it.
You see, on this day,
I learned about life and journeys.
I learned that
there's going to be people
that you love the most,
that you look in their eyes
and you ask them.
Do you believe in me?
Their mouth will tell you yes,
but their eyes
will tell you no.
But it's not about what they did to you.
It's about what you're going to do
when it's done.
Yes, in life we have plenty of people that say, but, but, but, but I say, but what not?
You see, that's what life is about.
That's what this journey is about.
It's about what now.
Once we take our eyes off our destination, we start to trip.
We start to trip over fake family members and faith relationships.
I promise you, if you look in the mirror and you ask yourself, what do you have to do?
To be successful, I promise you, a heart will tell you.
He's asked me, Will, what is your morning routine?
My morning routine is whatever it takes to be the greatest.
I like to walk in new pastures and go into new valleys of battles
and see if God can't meet what it takes to continue to fight that.
I will take that phone call.
I will answer that email.
I will go to the slums.
I will go with a killer's at.
Because I have a dude from the man above.
Save the souls this dying inside.
You see, the biggest mistake you motivate is making this world is you try to change too much.
And what happens when you do things too fast?
Make a mess.
You see me, I learned this very thing.
Take it. Keep it.
Crest it.
Meet them where they are.
so you can take them where you want them to go.
Wake up every single day thinking about how can I change my life?
How can I stand on the stage with the giants?
I realize that everything I ever dreamed of lives in the sky,
and I must junk every single day to go reclaim what's mine.
And that's wrong.
As long as you believe in that very gift,
that you have in the bottom of your stomach,
that fire that burns,
that dream that wakes you up in the middle of the night,
and have you screaming to the sun rise
so I can go after this dream.
That is the very thing that you should take every single day.
It's you versus you.
Your dream versus your world,
and you haven't even started to eat.
Decision in our life today, kings and queens,
that we will not be ordinary.
We will be great.
You have an everlasting potential.
And as long as you have a heartbeat, as long as you have air in your lungs,
you have an opportunity to change this world, change your life, and live your dream today.
We will be kings.
I see millions of motivational speakers that speak to the rich, that speak to the successful.
I said, who speaks to the broken?
Who speaks to the individuals that are still in the process?
Who speaks to the individuals that doesn't want to live anymore?
Every motivational speech you ever heard, I was talking to myself and I was telling my story.
I couldn't read till I was 16.
I buried my mother to a heroin overdose.
My father was a hit man.
I used to sneak in crack houses to sleep next to my mom
to make sure she was safe at night.
But through all the chaos and all the pain, God built a warrior.
So when y'all see King Hollis, and every time I drop a speech, I'm dropping it for you.
That person that want to give up on his life, I'm dropping it for you.
That person that don't know that they have greatness inside of them, I'm dropping this for you.
See, the difference between a good player and a great player.
See, that good player does just the minimum to get back.
That great player pushes his body past the limit.
Sankle, drop of blood on the field.
It must be remembered as the greatest for five.
Being broke is a mindset.
That's something that you put inside your head.
That's something that you tell yourself every single day.
I literally started from the side of a Turkey Hill gas station.
And all I did was ask someone, could you give me an opportunity to go into your studio?
Could you give me an opportunity to walk into this place every single day and create my motivation?
The time didn't take long.
It was only two to three minutes and I'll finish a speech and I'll give it out because many of you guys don't know.
I do not write speeches.
Everything I do is from the heart.
So what I did was I truly believed that I have something special to give this world.
And I want you to know that you have something special to give this world.
Don't ever believe that the lack of funds is the reason why you're not being successful.
This is not true.
The lack of belief is why you're not successful.
Every single human being on this earth is a walking million.
dollar check.
And our belief in our self,
our grind, our true
grit to wake up every single
day and tell ourselves and tell a world that I
will be something special is what
separates you from everyone else.
I learned that when I stop
being envious of people
and stop judging people
and stop being angry that I'm not on their level
is when I truly started to elevate
in my career.
I said, I told myself, I will never take a dollar bill from another person.
I will never sell my dream in my gift to anyone for any dollar amount.
Don't you ever do that?
And every morning you wake up and you look in the mirror,
I want you to look in that mirror and I want you to tell yourself that I am special,
I am great, and I am phenomenal.
Nobody will stop me for reaching my goal.
My goal, my individual goal, is to become one of the best speakers of all time.
But I know I have so much work to do.
While they sleep, I must work.
While they party, I must grind.
While they procrastinate, I must go after my future with a relentless effort.
And I want you guys to grow to be successful with me.
I don't want to just be successful by myself.
I want my message to grow other people and make other people successful.
That's what life is truly about.
It's about picking great individuals and taking away.
We got to make this decision in our life today, kings and queen, that we will not be ordinary.
We will be great.
We will be kings.
This life is about serving and giving and being true.
We live in a world where people believe everybody is out to get you, but I'm telling you now,
some people it's just out to love you.
So for the rest of my career and the rest of my life, I want you to look at William Hollis as your brother, your family, because we are.
It doesn't matter what color you are.
It doesn't matter where you came from.
The only thing that matters is who loves you now.
Growing up in the projects of Pontiac, Michigan, I realized two things.
I realized that I won't make it if I believe that this is my reality for the rest of my life.
And two, I had to realize that all the knowledge and my gifts were already placed inside of me at birth.
All I have to do is fine-tune.
All I have to do is keep working on this crap every single.
single day and I can be successful.
When I sat on the side of that Turkey Hill gas station, I realized that no one would believe
in me.
No one.
No one will say William Hollis, one day your speeches will be played all around the world.
No one.
And I realized that pain was necessary.
I realize that without my belief, I cannot go to the next level.
And I want you guys to know every piece of motivation I give you.
I'm talking to myself.
The world just happened to you.
Let's become legendary.
Let's not focus on who don't see anything in us.
Let's focus on everything that does.
you are filthy rich
you were born rich
we're going to forget about the generational act
we're going to forget about the people who left us
and we're going to focus on the people who loves us
we're going to focus on the people who believe in us
because you have greatness inside of you
you have an everlasting potential
and as long as you have a heartbeat
As long as you have entering your lungs, you have an opportunity to change this world, change your life, and live your dream today.
You are not broke.
You are filthy rich.
You are born.
We will be royal forever.
