Starting point is 00:02:52 Why? Because you can tell people Whatever you want to tell them But people don't live their life based on what you tell them They live it based on who you are This information is going to change your life forever. Like if you've been here, this information is going to change your life. Find out who you are. Find out what your purpose is in life. Everybody got a dream. Everybody got a goal. Stop dreaming about it. Stop talking about it and get a goal stop dreaming about it stop talking about it and get up and do something about it
Starting point is 00:03:27 welcome to daily motivation where you get motivated and inspired what are the two most powerful words in the english language the two most powerful words in the English language are I am. Because what comes after I am will shape your life. What you speak after, I am. What you believe after, I am, will control your decisions and shape your life. If you believe you are powerful, if you believe you are capable of achieving great things, you will attempt great things. If you speak into your life resilience and determination to overcome anything, you will be ready to face and overcome anything.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Let the power of I am shape your life in the most powerful way. What you speak after I am, what you believe after I am will control your decisions and shape your life. If you believe you are powerful, if you believe you are capable of achieving great things, you will attempt great things. I am powerful. I am strong. I am successful. I am an achiever. I am abundant. I am rich. I am determined. I am focused. I am disciplined. I am health.
Starting point is 00:04:51 I am wealth. I am. I am. I am beautiful. I am wise. I am capable of anything. I'm someone who makes things happen. I am a powerful creator. I am filled with faith. I am blessed. I am grateful. I am a miracle. I am connected. I am God. I am more than my body.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I am a powerful spirit. I am ready. I am focused. I'm a fighter. I'm more than enough. I'm a winner. I'm a champion. You can't just speak the words. You must feel them. And you must believe them. Repeat them every day. Let them soak into your subconscious.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Let the power become one with you. Ali said, I am the greatest. And he became the greatest. Are you ready to be great? I am. I am. Replace I want with I am. Instead of saying I want to be rich, say I am rich.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I am wealthy. Say it. Feel it. I am wealthy. Say it. Feel it. Feel it until you believe it. I am powerful. I am strong. I am successful. I am abundant.

Starting point is 00:06:31 I am. Thoughts are powerful. Thoughts lead to actions. Actions over time become habits. And habits lead to action actions over time become habits and habits lead to long lasting results Persevere. Nothing worthwhile is easy.
Starting point is 00:07:18 No one of achievement has avoided failure, sometimes catastrophic failures. But they keep at it. They learn from mistakes. They don't quit. The key is what we do in our times of pain. Pain will change us. Heartache, loss, disappointments, they don't leave us the same. You can come out bitter or you can come out better. you can come out better. You can come out defeated, giving up on your dreams, or you can come out with a new passion, a new fire, excited about the new opportunities in front of you.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Don't just go through it, grow through it. That difficulty is an opportunity to get stronger, to develop character, to gain new confidence. That pain is not there to stop you. It's there to prepare you, to increase you, to develop you. You're going to hit a wall. And that wall shocks some people.
Starting point is 00:08:19 That wall stuns some people. That wall disturbs some people. It's painful hitting that wall. But some people hitting that wall refuse to be denied. This person comes back anyhow, again and again and again. And if you keep on hitting that wall, here's what happens to you. That you will have an incredible breakthrough. And it's as if the universe says, let's help him out. Come on.
Starting point is 00:08:56 I admire that kind of tenacity. Let's give her a hand. This person doesn't care about the pain. Because this person knows something. There's no being without pain. Everybody talks positive about themselves. Everybody talks like you're a beast. You dress like you're a beast.
Starting point is 00:09:16 But then when it's time to do what beasts do, you back up. You have an excuse. Innovation is rewarded. They give you a platform. They give you a reward for it. But execution is worship. Innovation is rewarded. They give you a platform. They give you a reward for it. But execution is worship. Listen to me. There's no excuse. And what will separate those of you from the rest is not what they give you. What's going to separate you is what you do.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Listen to me very closely. I want you to know there's only one equation that's missing. There's only one thing you cannot purchase. There's only one thing you cannot buy. And that's what real beasts do. I ain't smart, but the difference between me and most people is you might be sweeter than me. You might be bigger than me. You might grind. Listen to me. I don't know. You might have money. I don't know where you come from, but you will not outwoke me every single time. This is an opportunity of a lifetime and I'm going to take advantage of it. When I was 29, I told myself the next acting job I get, no matter what it pays, I will, from now on, for better or worse, be a working actor.
Starting point is 00:10:32 I got a low-paying theater job in a play called Imperfect Love, which led to a film called Thirteen Moons, with the same writer, which led to other roles, which led to other roles. And I've worked as an actor ever since. I didn't know that would happen. At 29, walking away from data processing, I was terrified.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Ten years in a place without heat, six years at a job I felt stuck in. Maybe I was afraid of change. Are you? And so at 29 in a very long last i was in the company of the actors and writers and directors i'd sought out that first year that first day after school i was am, by their side. Raise the rest of your life to meet you. Don't search for defining moments because they will never come. The moments that define you have already happened and they will already happen again
Starting point is 00:12:09 and it passes so quickly so please bring each other along with you. You just get a bit derailed. But soon something starts to happen. Trust me. A rhythm sets in. Just try not to wait until, like me, you're 29 before you find it. And if you are, that's fine too. Some of us never find it. But you will. I promise you.
Starting point is 00:13:00 You are already here. You'll find your rhythm or continue the one you have already found. Don't wait until they tell you you are ready. Get in there Sing The world might say you are not allowed to yet I waited a long time out in the world before I gave myself permission to fail. My parents didn't have much money,
Starting point is 00:13:59 but they struggled to send me to the best school. And one of the most important things they did for me is that once I graduated, I was on my own. Financially, it was my turn. This made me very hungry. Literally. I couldn't be lazy. At the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time, but I just sort of had some perseverance in terms of what I wanted to do and what I didn't want to do.
Starting point is 00:14:51 And I think no is a very powerful word in our business that is very hard to use early on in your career. But I also think I was pretty arrogant when I was younger. So I use that word maybe too much, but it also helped me with the finding roles that I did like. We burn very brightly. Please don't ever stop. Please, don't even bother asking. Don't bother telling the world you are ready.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Show it. Do it. What did Beckett say? Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Fail better. The world is yours. Treat everyone kindly.

Greatness is full of adversity and obstacles. How bad do you want it? How dedicated are you to achieving your greatness? Too many times we wake up in the morning and we're ungrateful for that day we're awake we're blessed the world is full of
Starting point is 00:18:12 negativity we don't have to be negative on ourselves I hate we talk about I am unlucky I'm unsuccessful I am fat I am ugly no you are not let's change our I am it's gonna fuel our day it's gonna fuel our Let's change our I am. It's gonna fuel our day. It's gonna fuel our life. I am successful. I am powerful. I am great. I am amazing. That's the words that have to follow our I am. It's going to fuel your life. Let's start taking it with passion. Let's start being amazing. Use your I am to change the world. If your actions are not in line with your beliefs, stop lying to yourself. There is nobody in this world that can go out there and be great for you. You got to make a conscious decision to stop making excuses,
Starting point is 00:19:03 strap up your heart, stick out your chest, and get it done. There's nobody in this world that's going to give you what you want. You're gonna have to go out there and get what you want by working hard. Being talented is not good enough. You gotta work hard You gotta be passionate And you gotta, gotta be grateful Yes, I said grateful I've failed over and over and over again And I've risen to success because of my mindset Your mindset can be controlled Your attitude can be controlled by you
Starting point is 00:19:43 Nobody else, nobody else can control your attitude can be controlled by you nobody else nobody else can control your attitude in your mindset if you let them then you're allowing them to own something that belongs to you that is your property when you get up in the morning don't look at your phone don't check your emails don't think about yesterday's problems yesterday's, and what obstacles you got today. Focus. Focus on the things that you have and not the things that you want. Focus on the people that love you and not the people that hate you.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Focus on what and who you want to be and become. Be blessed, be grateful, and say thank you. When you wake up every single morning, I want you to wake up with a smile on your face. It doesn't matter how bad yesterday was. It doesn't matter what you got going on today. And start telling yourself what you want to be. I am rich. I am healthy. I am great. I am amazing. I am a great father. I am a great mother. Whatever you want to be, start your day off with I am. Because what follows your I am is going to shape your day, told me, if you want change in your life, you are going to have to change. You're going to have to do something different. You're not going to be able to get up and be doing the same thing over and over again and expect something different to happen, something different to change. If you keep doing that, you are insane.
Starting point is 00:21:24 That is the definition of insanity. Don't be a volunteer victim. A lot of our problems in life is self-inflicted wounds. A lot of times as we get older, we tend to conform and we stop growing. We stop building as people inside. No one wants to set goals. Nobody wants to keep them. We rather do what's easy in life instead of getting a little bit uncomfortable and growing. When you're uncomfortable is when you start to grow. When you're uncomfortable is when you start to build muscles in your mind, in your body, in your soul. Gratitude is the only, only shortcut to success. Be grateful for what's around you. Don't take it for granted. Get up every single morning and do something that you love.
Starting point is 00:22:26 For half an hour, for 10 minutes, for five minutes, for minutes for an hour start small I'm gonna repeat that success is little steps of progress if you're moving forward if you're moving towards your goals towards your greatness then you are progressing don't wait till the weekend do it now whatever it is you have to believe. Stop putting limitations on yourself. Stop doubting yourself. Stop letting other negative naysayers pull you into their circle of disaster. Misery loves company. That's a fact.
Starting point is 00:23:04 We have to rethink what motivates us. what pushes us, what is our why. Why do you do what you do, how you do it? I want to inspire you to become the best you that you can be. Everybody else is taken. You can do the easy things in life. If you do those easy things, life is going to be hard, I promise you. But if you go about it and do those hard things,
Starting point is 00:23:36 those things that nobody wants to do, those things that people say, oh man, I got to get up and do that today, all right, then life will be easy. It's a choice that you have to make whenever you're ready. Write down exactly what you want to achieve. And then every single day, as many times as possible, read it to yourself. If you want to make a million dollars a year, write down on a piece of paper,
Starting point is 00:24:01 I make a million dollars a year. I am healthy. I am happy. I am happy. I have the love of my life. Write it down and repeat it every single day. You want to be great. You want to be special. You want to be wealthy.
Starting point is 00:24:18 You want to be a billionaire. You want to be the best basketball player. You want to be the best football player. You want to be the best soccer player. You want to be the best surgeon, the best doctor, the best father, whatever your best is going to be, whatever the best that you want it to be, you got to get up and you got to change. You got to do something that you never thought you'd do. You got to do something that people don't expect you to do. You got to go ahead and rewrite your own history. Stop waiting for
Starting point is 00:24:41 somebody to come in there, swoop you off your feet, make your life perfect, make your life great. You got to do it. You have to be the change in your life that you want to happen. You cannot depend on anybody. The only person I'm going to ever bet on in this world is myself. Because I know that's the one thing I can control. My attitude. My mentality. Yes, my mentality. I'm the only person I can control over that. If you let somebody piss you off, you let somebody get you mad, shame on you. Stop doing what you're doing every single day unless you are dedicated to being great.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Now get up there. Get outside. And go make change happen for you and your family right here, right now, today. My 10-year-old son literally brought me to tears two days ago, I believe. I think it was two days ago. I'm cleaning up his room, picking up some of the stuff, and I see these index cards. I was like, oh man, that's so crazy. I was looking for some index cards.
Starting point is 00:25:50 So I go to take the index cards to write my goals, to put them into the universe, to state them down on the index card, and it says, do not touch. And I'm like, what the heck? So I flipped it over. I started to read what my son wrote, and it brought me to tears. This child is 10 years old. He wrote a speech that he's going to give when he goes into the NFL draft and he
Starting point is 00:26:16 doesn't know exactly what team he's going to get drafted by yet. But he thanked me, thanked his high school coach, he thanked his JV coach, he thanked coaches he doesn't even have yet. Guys, he didn't stop there. He wrote his Hall of Fame speech for when he gets inducted into the National Football Hall of Fame. What does he have that you don't? What does he have that I don't? What does he have that most people don't? He has full faith and belief in himself.
Starting point is 00:26:50 And that is what motivated me. That is what got me excited. That's what gets me up every single morning is my why. So every morning when you wake up, I'm going to challenge you right here, right now. I'm going to challenge you to think something that makes you smile. Just smile early in the morning. Be thankful. Say it out loud.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Say three things that you're grateful for in your life. Smile. And then you're going to set up the rest of your morning, the rest of your afternoon, and your day for success. If you really want it, then step up and go get it. Thanks for listening.
