You can't start where I am now.
You gotta start where I started.
I want you to live the life you were meant to live.
You hear me?
Not the life that was given to you.
What do you want?
This is what we're supposed to be doing today.
Do me a favor.
Don't holler at me until you do it.
So you have an opportunity of a lifetime.
I need you to take it serious.
Let's go to work.
When you get the opportunity, from day one, you get hungry day one, and you stay home.
And so I'm telling you, you hang around the right people, they will give you dreams for yourself that you didn't have for yourself.
You are nothing but the sum total of the people that you're closest to you can start from wherever and get
to wherever you want to get to that's what I'm asking you to do what fuels you
the reason why you so lazy is not because you don't have the ability you
so lazy because your dreams so small don't be upset by the results you didn't get from
the work you did not do I didn't get the results because I didn't do the work
like if somebody gets you out take it like I don't care how hard it is how
difficult if you have somebody that's willing to rock with you hold your hand
in the process encourage you motivate, motivate you, inspire you.
Like stop saying, I'm not good enough. Stop saying, my family, we don't do this. Like stop with the
excuses and take the opportunity that's given to you. Shoot the doggone shot. You're wide open.
Take the shot. So do me a favor, let it destroy you. So let the dream destroy you, tear you down,
redefine you, build you back up, make you stronger.
So I need you to do me a huge favor.
I just need you to be real.
Man, it's crazy, but, you know,
I had a couple things in my life that I wanted to accomplish,
and I didn't get them done.
You know, and I know it's not too late,
but I kind of, like, got to that point where it's like,
you know, I just can't do it.
Like, I put forth a valiant effort, and I just can't do it.
And so he was like, oh, what was one of them?
And I was like, what you just said, 100 miles,
I wanted to run a marathon.
And he was like, oh, okay, 100 miles, I want to run a marathon. And he was like, oh, okay, cool.
You really want to run a marathon?
And I was like, in my mind, yeah.
You know?
So he was like, no, no, no, you for real?
I said, bro, I'm not as for real as I can be about something that I want to do but that I didn't do.
You know, so he was like, oh, okay.
Ma, I just finished speaking.
And so I was like, let me check Tim Ma, I just finished speaking. And so I was like,
let me check Tim out.
And so right after it was over,
so he was like,
all right, well,
if you want to run a marathon,
come on.
And I was like, what?
He was like, come on,
let's go get started.
We'll do it together.
And I was like,
okay, bro, like,
like right now?
He was like,
well, if you want to do it,
when would be the best time to do it?
And I was like, okay, I guess now.
You can't run a marathon with someone who's never run a marathon.
You know what I'm saying?
Like you have a better chance of running a marathon with somebody who ran a marathon.
Like who really has the mindset.
Like they ran it, so they know what it takes.
How many people in your immediate environment, those people who are in your sacred circle
represent people who are on the same mission as you? Or do you have a bunch of people on your list
who are not on the same mission as you and those individuals are pulling you down? I have cut off
the people who are not on the same mission with me and I've surrounded myself with
people who have the same values, who have the same mindset and people who want to
accomplish what I want to accomplish. And we go to sleep and wake up talking
about the dream. We go to sleep and wake up talking about the dream. We go to
sleep to wake up talk about what we did when we first started. Talk about where we are, examining what we did right, what we did wrong.
Listen to me, you got to eat the dream.
You have to sleep the dream.
You have to dream the dream.
You have to see it when nobody else sees it.
You have to feel it when it's not tangible.
You have to believe it when you cannot see it.
You've got to be possessed with the dream.
And every single day,
you've got to wake up and put forth effort.
Because some days, you're not going to feel like getting up,
but the dream is going to push you.
You wake up every single morning and you go after it.
When you wake up, nothing is going to come to you
nobody's going to give you anything I still have to work and when the Sun
comes up I still have to get to running so you've got to ask yourself you've
got to ask yourself what's your why what motivates you what pushes you what
drives you and if that thing is eternal if nobody has to call you if
nobody has to prod you if nobody has to reward you if nobody has to give you
anything if you are self motivated and self regulated you can have it you can
be it you can do it everything you ever wanted son you're right there not only
will you have what other people
don't have you'll do what other people can't do in order for you to be able to
do what you need to do like a Tony Robbins there's some things that you
don't have in your arson that if you can just admit you don't have it in your
arson then you can go get it but until you admit that you don't have it, you'll never be able to do it. If you know why you're doing
something, it's easier to do it. When you don't know why you're doing it, it's hard. Or when the
reason that you have to get up is not as strong as the reason why you need to stay in the bed,
it's going to be tough. I've got dreams. I have goals.
There are things that I want to accomplish.
I'm not satisfied.
Like, I don't sleep well at night.
The bigger your dream is, the more effort you're going to have to put in.
I look around at other people who are living a certain way,
who are driving a certain way, who are experiencing a lot. And experiencing life and ET I want that and and I've robbed myself I have not been
true to myself I've not done the things I need to do there is absolutely nothing
you can't have nothing you can have whatever you want but listen to me very
closely you cannot you will not have anything if you're not willing to put in
sweat blood and tears if you think you're gonna pay any other fare you twist it I wake up every
single day I know what I got to do I know where I got to be I know what my
gift is I know what my purpose is and I just need money to house all this he has
a dream and a goal and he'll do whatever it takes. And I need you to understand that the bigger your dream is, the earlier you're going to have to get up.
What's that thing you keep thinking about?
I'm telling you to dream your dream because I want you to feel it.
I want you to taste it.
I want you to know how close.
I want you, just like when the weather is changing, you can feel it.
I want you to be able to feel when you're getting closer to it and closer to it.
But more importantly, I want you to know when you dream your dream that there are other people who are dreaming the exact same dream.
What if you're not the only one that wants what you want?
When you said to yourself, this is what I want to accomplish.
You're not the only person that wants to accomplish it
And now I ask you this question. What do you do when a thousand other people want exactly what you want? I
Want you to know something that the bigger your dream is I want you understand the heart of the grind
Everybody wants to be number one. Everybody wants to be the best. Everybody wants to succeed.
Everybody wants to have to be and do what they feel they've been called to do.
I'm walking out of here next level.
