Why are you out there practicing in the hot sun when ain't nobody else out there? Because I'm trying to get it. Why are you out there practicing in the hot sun when ain't nobody else out there? Because I'm trying to get it. Pain is temporary.

I've been trying to get that into your spirit. I've been trying to get you to celebrate pain. That pain is your friend. That pain is going to take you to the next level. Remember, just because something's never been done before doesn't mean it can't be done. It just means we haven't figured out a pathway on how to get it done, and we will get it done.

This is it right here. This is that moment that you got to work. This is that moment when you got to push. There is no weakness in the place of business. Think about your end goal. Think about what it's going to look like. Picture it in your mind. See yourself already there. Stop praying that the storm will pass over you and pray to grow through the storm. What you go through, you will grow through

you simply have to give it everything you have to get it you need to shut down all negativity and frankly not give a shit what others say and think you gonna do what you've been called to do you gonna be what you called me you gonna have and you gonna prove to everybody that tried to break you you gonna prove a wrong everybody trying to stop you everybody trying to everybody that tried to break you you will prove a wolf everybody trying to stop you Everybody trying to kill your dream. You will prove all of them wrong. I Don't care what the adversity has been you have two choices you can be unforgiving bitter angry upset and be a carrier of grief or you can choose

resilience upset and be a carrier of grief or you can choose resilience welcome to daily motivation where you get motivated and inspired i got a question what will you do when no one is watching what will you do when no one is watching, what will you do? When no one is listening, that's the only time that we'll be able to bring something to this world that it never seen before. One of the greatest challenges with disappearing is understanding the revelation of building in the dark. The secret of change is to focus all of our energy, not on fighting the old, but building the new. And specifically behind closed doors,

when nobody's looking, when no one is there to affirm you, when nobody's there to validate you, when nobody is there to agree with you, you build in the dark and you announce it when it's finished you want to test my resolve you want to test my ability to go to limit you want to see where his lord is it might begins this ain't no game this is my lifestyle son shut up you talking tyler too much about your dream you talk too much about your dream. You talk too much about your goal.

Say it once, say it twice, no more than three times and get to work. You already know what it feels like to quit, to throw in the towel, to sit on the couch. Do you know what it's like to give everything that you have and push and persevere. You've got to make the opportunity happen. You've got to be fired up. You've got to be hungry for it. You've got to have the desire to push yourself. Are you hearing me? Work, work, work, work.

Grind, grind, grind, grind. I'm gonna grind. I'm going to fight. I'm going to work. I'm going to press toward. I'm going to learn. I'm going to do everything in my power. Every single day, I'm going to do everything in my power to become a victor and not a victim.

Let me tell you this, the wolf that is on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf that is climbing the hill. And so you got to get hungry and you have to stay hungry. You have to guard your hunger. hunger I need you to develop a healthy dose of self-assurance when you feel like you can when you want to let go when you are surrounded by doubt fear and anxiety you are going to have to pull up your resume and remember all of the things that you have made it through there is no excuse for not living up to your fullest potential no excuse what do you want somebody told you to just graduate high school graduate college

get a job work that job the rest of your life have kids get married and die somebody told you that what do you believe you were destined to do and then you gotta spend every single solitary day for the rest of your life going after that dream what do you have to have what is your dream? And when you think there's nothing left in the tank, look yourself in the eye and say, I can, I will, I must. I'm on government assistance and I run out of money and I had to buy pampers for Jelani. And I had $11.42 in the bank.

And I remember wrapping my son in a towel for two days. I remember the second day, like you said, I had my hand on Jelani's stomach, and I said, Don't worry, baby. Mommy will never be this broke or broken again. And that day, what shifted for me was I was willing, and I don't know if this is going to sound crazy. I was willing to completely die to any form of me that I had been so that I can birth the woman that I was becoming. The reason why a lot of people won't become who they want is because they're too attached to who they've been. And you hear it all the time when people say,

I've always been this way. Okay, well, if that's working for you, keep doing that. I knew it wasn't working for me any longer. I had hit my version of rock bottom. So I was willing to let go of everything and everybody. See, another reason why people won't get there is because the doorway is for you to fit through. You're trying to carry everybody else through because you're trying to be Rescue 911. And you got to rescue you first. I am much more valuable to my family

and to my community because I was willing to let them go. Go through the door myself, teach myself, learn myself, condition myself, and then come back and get them. I'm much more valuable to them now. But I had to go through a window, Tom, of 10 years of judgment. You leaving us, hanging out with white people all the time. You going to these crazy countries.

We don't know what you're... I had to be willing to, to allow my conviction to make me inconvenienced. See, we want to grow, but we want to stay liked by everybody. I was willing to be my own rescue at the risk of your approval. Most of us aren't like that. Facebook is example. We want to be liked. Well, I woke up and I like myself today. So your like is extra. My job is to like me first. I was willing to say every day, Lisa, you like you? Lisa, are you proud of you? Lisa, are you playing full out? Every day before I checked in with anybody else. I was willing to inconvenience my entire life. My entire life. I was willing to disrupt my entire life to buy my future. To buy my possibility.

To give my dream a chance. See, we're not supposed to tuck our dreams in on the pillow when we get up in the morning. We're not supposed to leave them at home. We can go and fulfill somebody else's dream. We're not supposed to do that. That's not what we're wired to do. That's not who we are. Your human spirit doesn't care about the economy. The human spirit doesn't care that my son's father went to prison. The human spirit doesn't care what's happened to your family. The human spirit doesn't care about the past. You may have been molested or your family may have been broke or you may have been betrayed or you may have a divorce.

Your human spirit doesn't care about any of that. Your human spirit simply says, what's our command for tomorrow? What do you want to create? It's not keeping score, your brain is keeping score. Because your brain is designed to keep you safe. Your soul, your intuition, your human spirit is designed to make you soar.

When you get to the edge, your brain will always tell you to step back. It's always gonna tell you to step back. Because you can fall, always. It's gonna tell you to step back. Because before you fail, the last time you did this, you saw someone else fail, you could hurt, you could be off work.

It's gonna tell you, it's designed to keep you safe. So you have to be willing to play between your brain and your soul. And on some days, you gotta just listen to your soul. And you gotta say, I'm gonna leap, I'm gonna get to the edge. Most people are at the edge, and you're standing at the edge and you're watching everyone else fly.

That's pit my ride, watch my crib, all this stuff. You know, watching people's lives on Facebook. You're at the edge, watching someone else live, wondering what it's gonna be like when you jump without ever jumping. And I'm just here to tell you, jump. Because only three things can happen. You're either gonna jump and fly,

or you're gonna jump and fall on something soft. Or you're gonna fall down hard? Either way, you're gonna get back up. You already know you got what it takes to get back up. Your greatest fear is not that you will fall. Your greatest fear is that you will live a full life and never fly. That you never leaped. You're not afraid of dying.

You're afraid of dying before the world sees who you really are. Before they really get your fingerprint. Before they really feel your breath. Before they really get your contribution. Before they really feel you. That's what you don't want to happen. You don't want to leave this place without us knowing you were here. All I'm doing is giving my dream a chance. And I'm not extraordinary.

You don't get off the hook. You don't get to be let off the hook. I'm an ordinary woman who chooses every day to make one more extraordinary decision. Everything that I need to get back up, I have in me. If I don't have what I need, I can go get it. Once I figured that out, the world was my like playground. Like the question is just, where do I go get it? I don't know about that. Where do I go get it? And I don't come from a learning background where I was a great student.

I wasn't, you know, my highest grade in school was a C plus. And when I got a C plus, I did the happy dance. And so I didn't have a background where studying was natural for me but when I realized that if I go study something and I learn it I own it it's mine now man it was crazy cuz all through school I struggled the last time I took an English class my English teacher told me I was the weakest writer she ever met in her entire life lovely yeah lovely and the same year I took a speech class and my speech teacher, he said,

quote unquote, Ms. Nichols, I recommend you never speak in public that you get a desk job. And so I... That's mean. Yeah, it just, it's just, you know, it was demotivated people, sad people. Hurt people hurt.

Sad people make other people sad. Bottom line, don't take it personal. Hurt people hurt. See, most people want the convenience of transformation without the inconvenience required required for transformation so my grandmother says and i love to repeat this your conviction what you're passionate about your conviction and your convenience don't live on the same block they ain't even the same zip code. So if you want to have a conviction for something, you have to sign up, sign up to be inconvenienced. We're trying to find convictions and passion and

breakthrough on the inside of our box. Well, when you realize that the box doesn't even exist, like someone made up, oh, you're playing outside the box. So we all bought into there's a box. Well, I don't live in, I don't even own a box. I don't live it I don't even own a box I don't even only want to get in your box you better come out here cuz I ain't getting in there and so when you start thinking like that time all of a sudden everything is possible so I you know people I disrupt people when I say you want to make me extraordinary because it lets you off the hook what if the God that we call God the the divine, whatever your faith is, what if there's no partial?

It's not going to give me a hookup and not give you one. Not going to give me an opportunity and not give you one. I'm just going to go after it. If I die, I'm going to die on a treadmill like Wilson said. I'm going to be on the treadmill running. I'm just not going to stop because I believe all things are available to us. I'm just willing to go after them. Are you willing?

And then that is so disruptive because then you got to make a decision because it's easier to live inside the parameters of, well, as a black woman, well, as born and raised in South Central, well, I'm academically, I'm dyslexic. I'm dyslexic. I wrote seven books. I'm dyslexic. So just knowing like I'm not perfect. What I do really well is I manage my imperfection well. And so we're all waiting for perfect. It's an illusion that will never come to you. And it's an excuse to never show up and play. Your story is not meant to be your fortress. Your story is meant to be your fuel. Any story, like the fact, the beauty of me being one of the top 1% earners in America is that I was on government's assistance. Right. Like, that's the beauty.

Like, come on. It wouldn't be a big deal if my family was rich. Whatever. Like, I'm supposed to do something. The beauty is that when you show the little engine that could story, like, I'm not going to run fast, but I ain't going to stop running. I might slow down and have to breathe and catch my breath, but I'm not stopping because I believe all things are available to all of us and good people should do well because when good people do well, good people just do more good in the world. I'm that same girl who ran track for Dorsey High School, who struggled to

get through high school, who got kicked out of college because I couldn't afford to stay. That was on government. I'm that same girl. I'm that same girl. I don't forget her. I'm also that same woman who runs a multi-million dollar business. I'm also the same woman who has seven bestsellers. I own both of those. I own all of it. I don't shrink to my greatness and I don't live in my saga and my sorrow. If you can own your brilliance while owning your your imperfections if you can own your giant while owning your smallness if you can live in duality constant duality the freedom will be earth-shaking if you can live in that see either you don't want to be as great as you really are and you're trying to dim your light so that others won't feel insecure about themselves in your presence

and so you keep playing at 79 watts when you know you're supposed to shine at 159 watts and you keep checking the temperature of the room to see what the room can handle versus just giving the room you and letting them, if your light's too bright then let them put on some shades can you give yourself permission to live in the duality of

your imperfections and your smallness and what you're learning and what you still have to learn in your greatness and your brilliance and your light? Can you allow them to coexist and then serve them up to the world, to love you, to see you, to inhale you, to judge you, to leave you, to love you. Some of us are just as afraid of being loved as we are to be left. If you go where you've never gone, do what you've never done, and say what you've never said, you'll become the woman and the man you've always known yourself to be. You will need to normalize in your mind walking alone. You got to get up on your own. You got to be able to make big decisions on your own.

You're going to lose weight on your own. There are a myriad of targets you have to hit by yourself. Oftentimes, it's the people that go away into a very healthy isolation to equip themselves, to condition themselves, to educate themselves, to come out empowered. And so you got to get into this workspace where you can do it by yourself. It doesn't matter if it's the office. It doesn't matter if it's the gym. It doesn't matter if it's the court. It doesn't matter if it's the field.

It doesn't matter what arena you are stepping into. You got to get to that place where you don't need attention. You don't need recognition. You don't need the accolades. You just want to put in the work. And the next time you surface, the next time you show up, it's game over. If you throw me to the wolves, I'll return, leading the pack. You see, a wolf is willing to leave its pack behind and find a new one.

The time is now, and we must adopt the wolf mentality. Be relentless. Resilient. Never quit. And never look back. I know what it feels like to be fractured and falling into pieces. But you gotta silence the voices in your head that are telling you you need a shortcut you need a cheat code eliminate the negative self-sabotaging

voices find a mirror and tell yourself I've got this today I got this today I'm gonna make it I'm going to create it I'm going to build it all I have is all I need resources may come and go people may come and go but I've got a vision and I've got the provision and I've got the determination and the discipline to hit my aim and to punch through my target did you do this thing without attention can you do this thing without public affirmation can you do this thing without attention? Can you do this thing without public affirmation? Can you do this thing without people telling you that you are everything to them? Without people applauding you and saying you're great, you're awesome, oh you're amazing?

Can you do this thing alone? Can you be your own cheerleader for a moment? Can you be your own hype man for a moment? Can you tell you I'm good enough? I got this. That all I have is all I need I believe in friendships and partnerships and collaboration and counsel and advice but there are some things in life you are going to have to do alone there are some

arenas you're gonna have to show up in and nobody is coming nobody's coming to save you nobody's gonna help you nobody's coming to save you, nobody's coming to help you, nobody's coming to show you a shortcut. You gotta figure this out on your own. For most of us, nobody's gonna feed us. You gotta feed yourself. You wanna lose the weight? You wanna reach your target, your aim? You gotta put the work in. You got to feed yourself the food that is required to power the body that you want.

It's not about trying to be a Lone Ranger more than it is about taking responsibility and prioritizing yourself first. There are some things in life nobody's going to show up. It's all on you. I need you to find a mirror right now and tell yourself it's all on me. It's all on me. This one is all on me. When I go get this degree, ultimately I got to go get this degree. When I go get this certification, ultimately I got to go get this degree. When I go get this certification, ultimately I've got to get this certification. I've got to finish strong. I've got to condition myself. I've got to go get the education. I've got to get out of bed. I've got to go to the gym. I've got to eat clean. Nobody's going to feed me. I got to feed myself. If you're listening to me right now in the gym on your walk on your run you're lifting you're building you're creating you're imagining something i just need you to push and i need

you to believe that you don't need the spider that you don't need the training wheels that it is your time that it is your, and you no longer need help. You no longer need assistance in this area of your life. Push like you have never pushed before. Give it everything you have because that spotter is not going to be there for you for the rest of your life. If you want to grow one millimeter more, if you want to push, just push a little harder. Everybody wants to grow grow a little bit taller so we got to push a little bit harder life is lived on levels and I can't bring my spotter with me the spotter cannot walk with you all of your life at some point you gotta say I got this I got this. FOODS!

Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself, I got this. I got this. If I have to do it alone, I will. Because to fulfill this vision, to fulfill my destiny, ultimately, I am depending on the God that put the dream in my heart and myself. With tears in your eyes, with broken hands and a heavy heart,

if nobody is there and you are in a room by yourself, start alone, but get started. Help is coming. But everything rises and falls on you Oftentimes the people that you wanted in your life will reject you and that rejection is Protection it is a blessing because it's the same people that rejected you that will need you and that will rely on you Come on how many people have you tried to help and you were

bleeding battered and broken? How many times have you called for help and the help was toxic? Come on how many times have you asked for advice and the advice brought more adversity? Take responsibility for yourself. Take control of your life. I need you to understand your worth and stop playing the blame game because nine times out of 10, the people that hurt you, you brought them into your life. And so you got to reflect over the past. You have to acknowledge the present and you have to cast vision for your future and take accountability and kill the self condemnation stop tearing yourself down on the inside stop saying one thing thinking another and acting in a whole nother way how you think is how you

talking how you talk must be how you behave because your thoughts will determine your behavior and your behavior determines your future and so everything's got a lot of it so you need an alignment, an internal alignment. I can't align you. You've got to make the decision to align yourself. You can hear a speech and make a decision, but every day you have to make that decision. That decision has to evolve into discipline.

And discipline turns into mastery. And mastery builds momentum. You're not going to always get it right, but you've got better keep going when you start alone you possess a power that few can handle I want to encourage somebody out there who's thinking about quitting and giving up, somebody who has been praying for years for things to turn around. You're thinking about quitting. You're thinking about giving up.

Don't give up. There are some times in life where you fall down and you feel like you don't have the strength to get back up. So it's like one step at a time. You just want to step out of it, to step out of the whole race, the whole business. The monstrosity of being alive overwhelms you. We cannot deny the forces that once we attain a certain level of pleasure, then we're going to get used to it. But if it gets redirected or it doesn't happen the way we want,

well, that's when the suffering comes. You take steps in this direction, you take steps in that direction, sort of get lost along the way, and sometimes you fall down. But if I fail, I try again and again and again for as long as I try this where's that chance of getting up and it's not the end until you've given up and just the fact that you're here should persuade you that you have another chance to get back up. There's still hope. Where is there happiness?

Well, happiness is found within, within the heart, or found within the whole world, everything and nothing. It's not in one particular thing, but it's in everything. I know how it feels to have a broken heart, and I know how it feels to be alone, but I just want you to know that it's not the end. You're thinking about quitting. You're thinking about giving up, don't give up. Don't give up. Stay in it. Stay focused.

You've got to re-evaluate and attack life again. It's tough. It's hard. It's like being knocked back almost. Even though you're successful, it's like being pushed back again. Yeah, whether you win or you lose, the depression still sets in, right? Yeah, yeah. The number of teens, Gen Zers, 20-somethings suffering from depression and anxiety and loneliness. Loneliness is through the roof. This is one of the biggest issues

that they're dealing with on college campuses. We rise to our maximum potential when we're of service to others. Going back to anxiety, going back to depression, going back to loneliness, I truly believe that's the answer. That's the way out of any kind of mental illness. Like, I'm going to make myself a better person. I'm going to make the world a better place. And everything that I'm doing, I've got these two chariots and I'm going down this road or I'm going down this road or I'm going down both together. I've been there a lot in my life, especially before my car accident, my teenage years.

Then the first woman I ever loved, we had a big breakup, and that breakup set me down in depression and suicidal planning. And it's tough to dispense advice to people other than get help, and I'll share why. Because that time in my life, I had so many people coming up to me, you know, my friends would come into my dorm room,

like, Brennan, let's go do something and you just there's just the hope is lost and what people I think made the mistake of trying to do is hype people up everything's gonna be okay you can be great and what people need who are suicidal is serious psychological intervention they need to seek support and help and outside of that when they do get that support the first thing a great therapist is going to do outside of the emotional reflection work of why are you here and what has caused this sort of pattern for you they're going to get you starting to get some momentum. The most important thing is when you are super down,

outside of finding that emotional reasoning for where you are, is to start getting momentum. Because with momentum comes hope. With momentum comes motivation. With momentum comes, you know, that feeling that there's a reason for tomorrow. And so it's as simple as just saying, okay, what are three things I'm going to do today? And I don't mean that like a lot of personal development guys would say, like, what are your three big goals for the day? I'm like, dude, sometimes that first goal is, I'm going to shower today.

I'm really going to shower today. I'm going to walk to the library. I'm going to come home. And that's all they got. Like literally, that's all they got. And you got to honor that struggle when you're in that place. Like know that where you're at, it is okay that you're there. And now you're going to need help.

And now you're going to have to set up some daily practices just every day. Win a little bit. Not like win win your dreams not like crush through goals not like be a badass not like no just momentum man most of the guys I've dealt with in that position who were suicidal outside of their therapeutic work I said the most important thing you can do is win the morning I don't want to ever be flippant with the advice to people who are dealing with that situation outside of get some help, get some momentum, and be okay if that momentum is really small.

Because it will build. Trust that that momentum builds and trust those gloomy and bad, dark days. Trust that those are going to be there. They'll get less and less and less as you learn how to cope but they're gonna be there and so when they're there it's one of the might I mean outside of teaching people to bring the joy in my life I teach people honor the struggle honor the difficulty when we honor the struggle instead I hate the struggle we can really achieve

extraordinary things because our mindsets in the right place it except like as soon as you honor the struggle you accept that oh of course there should be struggle here I should I should honor this process when you go to the gym to work out you like honor that this is going to be hard and it honor that process of getting better and the more that you bring honor to it the more your psyche builds with strength and you get a little bit of that esteem back because you see yourself engaging something versus avoiding it and running away.

You see yourself connecting with something and giving it reverence. You're like, I have reverence for the difficulties of life. They may be better. So I don't want a friction-free life. Not interested in it. You know, I like to say sometimes that, you know, the journey to greatness begins the moment that our, you know,

deep desires for comfort and ease are overpowered by our desires to connect and contribute. I mean, because I look at veterans in the past. It was, you know, I think in World War II, it was called shell shock. It was all these different things, but it was not acknowledged in the way that it is now. But I think it needs to be talked about more. I think the more things are talked about, the more comfortable we are, and the more we can understand them. When I woke up one morning and saw that in a tweet that Prince Harry came out talking about his depression, it made me really happy. Because I have been places and someone has said, well, you lost an arm or leg, so you have a right to be depressed. And I stopped him.

I was like, depression is real. You don't even have to go through something traumatic. Some are caused by something traumatic. Some can be a chemical imbalance in the brain. And I feel like if you had heart problems and saw a cardiologist, well, everyone would be concerned about you. You would know you're doing better. And it would be open and honest with the crew,

anybody you work with. No stigma, not weird. But the most complicated organ in your body, if you have a problem with it, suddenly there's a, we don't want to talk about that. No, and not weird. Yeah, but the most complicated organ in your body, if you have a problem with it, suddenly there's a, we don't want to talk about that. No, and you can get over it, and that's what people need to realize. You can be cured. You can get past it. That's what we need to realize. You know, the reason I did it is because when I was in my depression, I thought I was alone. I didn't open up to anybody, so I thought someone's going to read this, and it's going to help them, so I just,

as nervous as I was about the book, I kept thinking, that one person is going to read it. Well, now it's opened up this dialogue, and I'll go, and I'll speak, and we'll do Q&A, and people want to talk about it. I gave a speech in Florida, and it was an older crowd. Like I was going to say, they were old. And I speak what's on my heart and I gave my speech and as I was closing I kind of mentioned some depression because I was I was coming out of the winter months and I it hit me again this past winter and I went and saw the doctor and so it was on my mind and it

came up and as I was saying I thought this generation of people probably aren't connecting to what I'm saying. When I walked off the stage and they lined up the amount of people that thanked me for talking about mental health. And here I was. I thought they didn't want to. I thought I was stepping out of line. No, it needs to be talked about because it's not just this generation. It's people are realizing more and more that it's an issue. And the more we talk about it, the easier it is for people to be honest with themselves and get the help they need.

Someone did not wake up this morning, but you did. And if you can hear this message and you can see my face, then guess what? We are both in the right place. Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to understand something. Reason and purpose. There is a reason for you as well. There is a purpose for you. And it may not always go the way you want, but at the end of the day, you have to understand that there's a reason for you and there's a reason why things happen. Once those things have been figured out, now you're going to move on to purpose.

Purpose has already been written. It has a bottom line to it. There is no, was this supposed to happen? There was no coincidence attached to it. Purpose means exactly that. That means it was meant to be. It is going to happen no matter what you think No matter what I think no matter how any of us feel in this world

Purpose has already been written. It's a new day. It's a better day It's a bright day and it's all about you and as most importantly all about conducting that business I want to remind you about something stop chasing people Stop trying to get people to like you Stop trying to get people to approve Of your well being You are who you are and what you are Just see yourself

Know who you are Know where you come from If you came from hardships And you're still here You have power you have strength you have courage what you have to do is use it put it out there ignite that fire and keep going don't you give up now don't you say that you don't have it anymore. I know we've been there. I know I've been there. Many people have been there. They didn't think that they could

carry on, but they kept going anyway. Between reason and purpose, there is you. You have to be willing to understand that you have to work day in and day out and be the best human being, the best person you can be. And through it all, the good and the bad, you have to stand strong. You got to do the very best you can to get through it and be strong and be productive and be as successful as you can possibly be. I want you to continue to live your life the best way you can When you go through the darkness search for the light Because dark days will come But I'm here to let you know that you are powerful

You got to lift your head up and stop looking down. It's difficult out here for a lot of people, including myself. A lot of people are hurting. A lot of people are going through a lot of different things. They're experiencing so many different dramatic changes in their lives. But the thing about it is that you can't be surprised about these things. But you need to be prepared. You should never walk through life assuming that every day is just going to be a great day for you.

Believe me, I know. And I know there are many people out there that can say the same thing. But it's all about how we deal with it and how we overcome it it's all about rising up people being able to get up get out show up and do your business that's what it's all about people you got to have the ability to know what it means to rise up being able to rise up from the ashes of negativity doubt and fear these things are definitely designed to pull you down to break you down and take everything from you but not on this day not on this watch and not on this hour and for the rest of your life continue to shine and

do the best you can to be the best makeup that you can be within yourself rise up rise up from the ashes of negativity doubt and fear and understand that even your emotions can play tricks on you so take advantage of your life take control of it reason takes time understanding being able to deal with the do's and the don'ts the ups and the downs there's a reason for it and sometimes we may not like it but when that purpose starts to knock on your door that's it that means you have made it whatever this situation may be that purpose has been fulfilled it is already here it was already meant to be it's it's it happened it's there so do the best

you can leading to your purpose because one thing for sure we are never gonna we none of us are gonna be here for long sooner or later you gotta leave this planet but make the best of the life that you have on this day and the day after so if if tomorrow comes for you, tomorrow comes for me, let's get out there and make the best of it because tomorrow is another day. And if you're a part of that day, that means you got work to do. Success doesn't own you. You own success. Success doesn't work for you. You work for for success and that work takes time everything that we do in this life takes time it's a process but are you prepared for the test are you prepared to fight are you prepared to live? Are you prepared to push through it? Even when you feel that you can't.

We need faith. We need power. We need gratitude. And we need to be humble. But we must always stay hungry and keep going. Be the best makeup of yourself. Don't try to compete with other people. Don't try to get involved with other people and what they're doing and their has-beens or whatever the case may be. The bottom line is, are you happy

and are you truly feeling right within yourself? Are you righteous within yourself? Are you going about life in the right direction? These are the things that you have to convince yourself day in and day out. Because there are so many people out here that are trying so hard to be like everyone else. You don't have to do that. Who you are, what you are, and what you were made of, and what your true purpose is in this world has already been designed. You just got to put in the work and make it manifest itself.

You will get to where you need to be. It's not going to be easy. It's's a challenge and sometimes it can be a struggle but what's wrong with a little struggle that's how you get better in life that's what makes you a better person that's what's going to make you better and anything you're doing right don't get comfortable don't get complacent understand the struggles are going to come. Understand there are gonna be challenges. But love yourself. Get inside yourself and love you. No matter what's going on in life, no matter what you're dealing with in life,

just understand, circumstances will come. Circumstances will happen. Life is life. Just make sure you try to make your life the best way you know how and keep living strong each and every day.
