Go back to the gym. Go back to the drawing board. Go back to the business. Go back to the gym. Go back to the drawing board. Go back to the business.

Go back to the relationship. Go back to the burning building. You have unfinished business. All you got to do is show up with a new game plan and a new perspective. You got to finish business. You have unfinished business. You got work to do. Perspective is everything.

Let's go. I need you to hear me loud and clear. How you see this thing is everything. You cannot change the past, but you can change your perspective about it. You got to see this thing differently. Stop complaining about the divorce. Stop complaining about the job loss. Stop complaining about the relocation. Your viewpoint is your advantage. Thank you for breaking up with me. Here's what you did. You opened up another opportunity for somebody else to come into my

life. Thank you for firing me. You gave me an opportunity to explore entrepreneurship. I'm not bitter. I'm better. Perspective is what changes the game. Welcome to Daily Motivation, where you get motivated and inspired. not everyone needs to understand your true motives. Not everyone needs to understand your purpose. Not everyone needs to understand your mission. But the truth is, it's about passion it's about discipline it's about awareness it's about accountability that's right ladies and gentlemen you got to be accountable for your actions but are you prepared to grind it out are you prepared to dig a little bit deeper

are you prepared to fight a little bit harder are you prepared to put in overtime somewhere along the line you lost your footing you lost your your place. It got cold. Too cold for you. And see, one thing about an achiever is rain, sleet, or snow, they keep building. But you have not sacrificed. You have not suffered.

You are not committed. When you are committed, you give everything you have every single week every single day every single hour every single minute 720 hours a month you are beating on your craft even when you're at work you're dreaming you're thinking you're visit, you're thinking, you're vision casting, you're writing it down, making it play, communicating to your destiny connections so that it can become a reality. If you can see it in your head, you can hold it in your hands. But the question over the answer is, are you committed?

Now it's time to grind. Now it's time to fight. Now it's time to grind now it's time to fight now it's time to believe now it's time to know that your success story has yet to be told don't sit back and have a pity party. Don't sit back and wait for an opportunity to happen. It is up to you to go out there and get the opportunities. You want success? Then go get it. You want to be better?

Then be better. You want something be better? Then be better. You want something more than what you have right now? Then you got to have the desire within your heart and go strong and go with everything you have. I don't know who I'm talking to. I don't know what you've been called to do, what you've been called to accomplish, what you've been destined to build, who you've been called to be connected to, but the dots will connect. Every single moment that you have is an opportunity of a lifetime. Are you committed or are you just contributing? The choice is yours. This time, make it personal. Hear my voice. Know that you do have some work to do.

The work that you do will determine the outcome and the end. But do it in silence. The ones that need to be a part of your development, they will always be there. And the ones that doubted you, I'm talking about the naysayers just simply say shh be quiet because you have nothing to do with my success you gotta give 110% and get it to a point where all you got to say is, shh, you don't have nothing to do with my success.

The noise that you're making can't stop my purpose. The noise that you're making can't stop my fight. The noise that you're making can't stop my grind. Your noise is just empty. It means nothing to my success. I didn't get it overnight. And yes, I had many sleepless nights. And I had amazing dreams of what I could become. Can you stretch yourself? Can you condition yourself? Come on, can you believe again? Can you see it again?

Can you write again? Can you make this thing personal? That it doesn't start with the people connected to you. It starts with you. It doesn't even start with your past. It starts with where you are and where you're going. Can you look ahead? Can you stretch forth?

Can you condition yourself? Can you prepare yourself for the next thing? Come on, make it personal. But you got to work hard and silence. You got to take it personal. I make this thing personal. So while you're sitting around second guessing yourself, my beautiful people people get back on your grind be productive keep your head up high stay in the moment live every moment move in silence and from the bottom of my heart conduct

your business you got to learn how to move in silence if you are going to win the fight for your future then you are going to have to master self-compassion. Face the conflict.

Embrace rather than avoid challenges. And you don't give up on yourself. Do not give up on yourself. When you find yourself criticizing yourself negatively, comparing yourself to others, try to find inspiration in their successes and strengths instead of feeling threatened. You're standing up for your dreams. You're standing up for peace of threatened. You're standing up for your dreams.

You're standing up for peace of mind. You're standing up for health. You want it. And you're going to go all out to have it. Everybody gets knocked down. No matter how tough you think you are, you're going to fall. And when you fall, sometimes you fall real hard. But that ground is a hard surface and i'm

gonna 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 sometimes you have to back up and go within and pray and meditate and recharge your batteries go away clear your head and then come back and look at it from a different vantage point don't operate while you are under the spell of the effect of what's going on stop half doing stuff stop putting for 50 after 60 but look stop do it right or just don't do it at all are you hearing me do it right there's a lot of people walking around today they have unchecked rage unchecked aggression unchecked rage, unchecked aggression, unchecked anxiety, fear, insecurity. You're going to have to care enough about yourself to face it and find a resolve.

You got to find out what's the next things you need to be doing. How are you going to push it to that level and go beyond it? How are you going to maximize your time? How much energy are you going to put into this craft? Everything you have, everything you are, everything you're doing, like it's 78. And what I need you to do is I need you to look at yourself in the mirror and say, come on, quit, stop playing. I deserve to see what my life would look like if I gave 120%. Stay dedicated.

You've got to keep on pushing forward. You've got to keep on pushing forward. You've got to keep on fighting the good fight. You've got to put aside the excuses. Because excuses won't lift you up. Excuses won't give you the power that you truly need. You've got to be willing to go against the tide. You've got to be willing to go against the tide you've got to be willing to harness your will and say in spite of this I'm in control here I'm not gonna let this get me down. I'm not gonna let this destroy me

When you get knocked down how long are 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. I want you to see yourself in your mind's eye and say to yourself, I love myself unconditionally.

And I forgive myself. If I knew better, I would have done better. To win the war for your future, then you are going to have to master the muscle of self-compassion. 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 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.

Remember the past, but do not live in the past. Every mistake you have made up until this very moment, forgive yourself. With forgiveness comes freedom. You're going to have people to do things to you. Things are going to happen to you. And the most important thing to do is to harness your will and let it go and move so you can grow, so you can get on with your life.

It doesn't matter about what happens to you. What matters is what are you going to do about it? 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. Stay with us.

Strength, leadership, power, authority, guidance, patience are God's gift to us as men we have to cherish that not abuse it I prayed this morning to be a better listener

didn't work so well it's we're human you get back up. Yes, I've been high up on the mountain. I've been blessed. But that's a slippery slope. Yeah.

And it's lonely up there. Yeah. You know, people don't know that sign. We did not come this far to just break down and lose now. I'm a winner. I'm going to win. True desire in the heart, that itch that you have, whatever it is you want to do, that thing that you want to do to help others and to grow and to make money,

that desire, that itch, that's God's proof to you. Sit beforehand already to indicate that it's yours. Aspire to make a difference. You are what you are in this world. As either one or two things. Either you're somebody or you're nobody. Never give up.

Without commitment, you'll never start. But more importantly, without consistency, you'll never finish. It's not easy. If it were easy, there'd be no Denzel Washington. So, keep working. Keep striving. Never give up. Fall down seven times, get up eight. Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship.

So keep moving, keep growing, keep learning. See you at work. When you're on a mission, you don't have time to be fighting meaningless battles. You have to be focused. You have to be intentional. And you can't allow the noise outside to get to you. I get it. You did everything in your power and you still came up short. And you feel like you can't take the pain anymore.

You did everything you could and you still failed. You didn't win. But that's okay. It's okay you didn't walk away with the trophy. It's okay that you didn't walk away with your head held high. I get it. It happens.

That's life. What do you want to be remembered for? It's time to get to work. So take a moment and take note of who and what you've been giving your energy to. Everything you do should be on purpose and aligned with your life's goals. It's your mindset that will get you to the top, but your mindset can also keep you in a cycle of starting but never finishing. If you're not careful, you will find yourself talking, planning, and analyzing but never

executing. It's time to get back in the game. Pick your head up. Get up! Let them talk. Let them think you're weak. Let them think you'll never succeed. Their thoughts do not define you.

That failure doesn't define you. Your work ethic does. Your drive does. Your tenacity does. Your relentlessness does. Winners are action takers Winners take a hit and get back up You don't have to know exactly how you're going to get what you want You just have to have an inner knowing That you're going to do it

That you're going to make it That you're going to do it, that you're going to make it, that you're going to cross the finish line. So stop talking about who you want to become and become that person now. Do you realize that you can step into your future self right now? You don't have to procrastinate. You don't have to wait until you feel like everything is lining up perfectly. Growth is supposed to be uncomfortable. I know it's intimidating. I know it's hard, but it's time. It's time to level up. It's time to choose to be great. Time to choose to be better. Let's go. It's time to win. I can recall saying time after time, why is everything so hard for me? From the outside looking in, it looked like everyone else was winning with ease.

But I was bruised. I was broken. I was burned out. But I had it all wrong. I made my journey difficult because without even realizing it, I expected my journey to be difficult. In fact, when something came easy for me, I was nervous. I was nervous because I was not accustomed to winning so easily. I was accustomed to struggling.

I was accustomed to being stressed out. And I'm not saying that you won't hit some difficult moments. But I am saying that you shouldn't commit to having a difficult moments. But I am saying that you shouldn't commit to having a difficult life. You have to condition your mind to expect your situation to get better. And you have to remind yourself

that those who are winning are no different from you. Those who win, those who go hard, those who crush their goals have no problem focusing on themselves and what they want many of us have been conditioned to put ourselves last many of us have been taught that it's our duty to make everyone around us happy and what happens is you get so wrapped up and trying to make everyone around you happy and comfortable that you end up losing yourself you end up losing your vision you lose your drive you lose your why

and guess what that is not fair to you You deserve to set aside time for yourself. You deserve to be able to say no and not feel guilty about it. You deserve to be selfish sometimes. This is the thing. People will sing your praises until you tell them no. Don't lose yourself trying to be who everyone else wants you to be don't lose your focus don't stop going hard just because people have something to say about it if you continue to put yourself on the back burner you will

have to deal with the consequences of that decision. Don't keep saying you want something, but then when it's time to go after it, you've got excuse after excuse. If you want it, you have to go after it with all you've got. Don't tell me you want it. Show me you want it. Are me you want it. Are you willing to put in that time? Are you willing to study film?

Are you willing to run those sprints all the way through, not halfway? You see, the game of football was created in the realm of gladiators. It was an arena of barbaric people chanting for the warrior who kills the most. You see, football comes from the same bloodline of gladiators And when you step into that arena Oh, it takes a special man to step into that arena Because when you step into that arena, you don't know if you're going to walk out You don't know if you're gonna walk out you don't know if you will leave after these 60 minutes

but that's what makes you special that's what separates you from the normal, from the mediocre. Young King, you got to display something that you already know you have in you. And that's the will to win. That's the will to be unselfish because football takes a certain mentality to play it there's no better feeling in the world than smelling those hot dogs

and hearing that band on Friday night. There's no feeling better in the world than walking out on Saturday with all your friends and family watching.

See what you do all off season. Is what your season will be. And once you understand that. King this game. Is not for nice people. Some play the game. It's not for nice people. Some play the game to just see the crowd and others play it

to make their bloodline proud. To take mama out to projects and put sister in college. To dress their mother up and give her the world, to one day stand outside of a beautiful home and say this belongs to you mama. I ran those sprints, I ran those sprints I ran those hills

I broke my arm For you mama I kept running when I was bleeding For you mama See mama This gang See mama, this game, yes it's dangerous, but it teaches us how to be a man. It teaches us responsibility. It teaches us to go to class because without it, we can't do what we love.

And that's play the game of football. Believe that you have enough. Take all that pain that you felt your entire life. And right now I'm talking to one of you seniors before you step on that field take yourself back to that dark place that place where you had no hope and I want you to remember how far you came. And when you step on that field, Saturday or Friday night, you look your teammates in

the eyes and you tell them, we didn't come this far to only come this far. Royalty. You know I thought if you were a good person and you do right by people that people will take your kindness and give you kindness back. But what I realized is sometimes in this world the kinder you are the more they try to play you like a fool. I was delusional. I'm nice to you, I'm nice to you.

You're nice to me. Don't always work like that. Sometimes it's nice to me and I take advantage of you. So some of y'all, you delusional. I just need you to do me a favor. When you are delusional,

you can never get the outcomes you want because the premise in which you're operating from is a lie. So you got to work from truth and some of us don't want to deal with truth because it's so difficult. ET, you dropped out of school.

ET, you grew up in a certain community. 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

so i need you to be a huge favor i just need you to be real and the reason why a lot of y'all don't want to be real because some of you would rather be in a lie and at least have a lie than not have anything at all you already know that job you ain't about to your boss ain't about to cash you out you're just scared to quit and start your own business because you don't know if you're going to do well or not you know you shouldn't come on be honest you know you still shouldn't be at that job right now let me see your hand let's just be real let me see the hand you know you should still raise it high don't play with me raise it high you still shouldn't be at that job but you're delusional that one day is going to be your day that one day you're going to merge your job and your your calling together

it's not going to happen you're gonna merge your job and your get your calling together it's not gonna happen you're gonna have to just leave he gave me permission to say i am brilliant yeah i might be different but i am brilliant yep i might be loud but i am special he gave me permission and so the first thing I want you to do today is I want you to keep saying to yourself, I am, I am, I am, I am. And for those of you who hadn't quite started yet, I am. And for those of you who got started, I am. Why? Because I can't believe that I started with a GED and that GED turned into a four-year degree. One, two, three. I am. One, two, three. I am. One, two, three. I am. I am great. Listen to me and I don't owe anybody an apology. 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. I know that there were times that you wanted to give up. Times that you wanted to throw in the towel and quit. Times when life was so hard. And it just seemed like there was no light at the end of the tunnel.

There was a time in my life. I didn't know what direction I would go believe me that pain that hurt we all got to face it sometimes it's only gonna get tougher from here but you But you know you are made tougher. Tougher than any other obstacle that comes your way. You didn't give up. You kept going. You pushed through. You kept your head held high. Every single moment that you have is an opportunity of a lifetime the only thing

you need to do is pick up your feet with every step you need to decide to take another walk through anything that comes your way. Every day when you get out of your bed, you got to start your day. You got to have the ability to rise up, to get up, and move forward. When you walk out that door

and you go about your day, no one understands what's coming. But you must continue to rise for each day that is given to you is that chance, is that opportunity that you must hold on to. You're going to have to have those losses. You're going to have to fall back a few times.

But you got to keep going forward. When the wind is pushing you back, you got to push through it. You can never quit. Thanks for listening.
