Bet on the sports you love with BetRivers Sportsbook. Take a chance. We'll be right back. You woke up this morning to chase your dream until you catch it. I need you to rise and grind. And I'm asking you, what do you see in the future for you? What brought you here today? What caused you to get up? Every morning, every day of our lives, we have choices to make. You have a choice to stay in bed, to stay, forget it. That's what's going to separate you from the pack. You're not scared to get uncomfortable.

You have this moment. You can't worry about yesterday because yesterday is not coming back to look for you. Whatever you had the chance to do yesterday won't come back. But you have this moment. You have this chance to do something great. So you can get up in the morning and you can think, okay, there's some things in my life that I could put in order today that would help put my life in order. Every single day gives you that new opportunity. Yesterday, I made the choice to get up early, but today's another day.

Are those 15 minutes that sweet that you're going to push back your dream, that you're going to push back your goal? Everything you've ever wanted, son, you're right there. It's always impossible until it's done. If you're having a bad day, it's a day to make a difference. It's a day to define who you truly are inside. See, the way to get started is to stop talking and start doing.

Stop waiting to feel like it. Stop waiting until you see it you got to make your life better you got to focus on you you got two options you can give up or get up this is your day get up and beat yourself from yesterday so I know life is hard sometimes I know life can be up and down. But right now, I need you to get in position to fight. So it's time to get up. Rise and grind, baby. Let's go. Sun don't stop for nobody, man. That sun is going to be up in the morning regardless of how I feel. The sun is going to shine in the morning and at nighttime, the moon going to be there. And you

going to look up, these days going to keep keep going by so do you let the days go by and look up and you don't waste it a year doing what I want you to live the life you were meant to live not the life that was given to you because I made up in my mind that's the life y'all gave me I'm not that I'm not taking that no more a lot of life is uncomfortable a lot of this experience, it's not easy. I don't care who you are. It's not easy waking up first thing in the morning. You don't always want to get up out of bed.

You're signing up to have some moments where it's really uncomfortable and painful. What are we going to forgive right now? And what are we going to say? The buck stops here. No more. I'm not putting up with it because I'm tired of playing grab with yourself'm gonna cut the man tomorrow morning when the alarm goes off you're gonna

launch yourself out of bed like a rocket ship you're gonna move so fast you're not gonna be in that bed when that anxiety hits if i'm going to see success i've got to define what sacrifices are required in order to step into it. And the gateway for all of us to blow up. You can't start where I am now. You've got to start where I started. I know it's painful every time you've got to make a sacrifice. But I'm telling you the pain of success is better than the pain of failure.

And now is the time for you to make a decision on what pain you want. I'm not content because I know where I came from and I don't ever want to go back. That means I don't want to go back to living like I once was. The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, that want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft. Decide that you're going to push yourself. There's greatness in you and you've got to learn how to tune out the critics outside and the critic inside

And since I'm going to do this, I'm going to harness my will and I'm not going to let anything stop 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 Failure is painful You're so lazy, it's not because you don't have the ability. You're so lazy because your dream's so small. Failure is painful. Failure is painful. I know it's painful to wake up early in the morning when you really want to sleep. I know it's painful when you got to study when everybody else is outside playing.

In what world do we not work every day? Working hard is the cost of entry of winning. 90% is work, but the last 10%, that's fight. Can we make that happen? Can we make that happen? Can we make that happen? I'm talking about beast mode. If you're in a bad position in your life, find a way out because no one is going to save you. Save yourself. You don't have time to waste time because every second of every moment of every day counts You better get busy right now Because once it's over You won't get it back Once this life is over

It can't come back You are not here to do nothing with your life Right now Is all you have And if tomorrow is promised, do something with it. Speak life. Speak life. Think about life itself.

Here today, calm tomorrow. Each day that you live is a chance to win. No one is promised a second of air. No one is promised to wake up the very next day. All you got is this moment right now. This day right now. So do the things that will better you. Because the time that you have, there's not much time at all. Live this life the best way you know how.

Pride will take you down. Love will lift you up. Find something that you believe in that you know will lift you up. Find something that you believe in that you know will lift you up when you're down. Don't you dare think that tomorrow is going to wait for you. The moment you close your eyes

may be your last time. Too many people right now are no longer on this earth and they had a chance. But they didn't take it. They didn't better themselves. They didn't get their health in the right place. They didn't get their minds in the right place.

They spent too much time wasting it. As if time owes them. Time doesn't owe you. time doesn't belong to you but you have a moment you have this moment right now whatever mistakes you made you're still here make every day count. It's all fine. We'll put a smile on your face. Bet on the sports you love with BetRiver Sportsbook. Take a chance. Must be 19 plus. Available in Ontario only. Please play responsibly. If you have questions or concerns about your gambling or someone close to you,

please contact ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600 to speak to an advisor free of charge. You're sitting on the edge of the bed trying to have an honest dialogue with yourself and the little voice says you know it's pretty disgusting in here and you think well i'm way above such trivial niceties as organizing my room it's like now that's pride that's arrogance if you're above organizing what's actually yours, how in the world are you ever going to organize anything else? And so you get on your knees and you think, well, it's time to, you know, take a brush to the toilet.

And maybe that's where you start. And so, and that works. Like, that works. You start making those micro-improvements, like real micro-improvements, real on-the-ground actual micro-improvements to things you know that are wrong, Like that works. You start making those micro improvements, like real micro improvements, real on the ground, actual micro improvements to things you know that are wrong, you'll improve unbelievably rapidly.

If you don't have hope and you don't have this breakthrough where you have for just a millisecond, this insight where you go, well, what if things didn't work out? If you don't have that moment, most people stay so stuck in resignation. There are so many people that are not aware of how much better and how much more present and how much more joy they could experience in their life.

See, when you are not filling your life with the things that you are capable of doing, see, we all have some stuff that we've been given. And I don't think that it's optional for us to sit on what we have. See, if you're sitting on what you have, what you've been given, I think everybody's been given something to bring to the planet that only you can do that. Only you can perform that. Only you can initiate that activity. And if you don't do that, if you're not filling in your life with your life work or your mission, then there are gaps in your life and what we do when we're not living out our true identity we begin to fill the gaps we fill the holes

with garbage success is getting what you want fulfillment is living what you're made for this is really we're talking about we're talking about rules can you train your brain to appreciate? Because in the middle of whatever you're pissed off about or frustrated or fearful about or worried about, you're deleting all the things you can be grateful for, you can appreciate that are absolutely real. Be your own motivator and you build yourself up. And that's the problem with the mind. I want your listeners or viewers to really think about this. You do not experience life.

You experience the life you focus on. That's it. You believe, you know, we know from the science and we know from experience that if I exercise exercise it's a process and it's good for me even though I can't measure it in the short term and if I eat well and I keep doing that I know it'll keep me healthy for the long term

I'll eat more leafy greens and less sugar I know I just have to stick to this process 100% of the time it works. How long does it take to get into shape when you start exercising? Nobody knows. Neither does any doctor.

Sometimes a little less time for some people and sometimes a little more time for others. We don't know. We just know 100% that it works. And so I had to get used to the idea professionally that I'm going to do things that I know work, but I won't be able to measure them. And I just have to be okay with the fact that it works.

Like exercise, like eating right. And so that's where, you know, learning an infant mindset and letting go of annual goals. So people are like, you know, what's your annual goal? I don't have any because I can't predict what I'm going to achieve based on arbitrary timelines. And it's really important in the visualization, you can't see it over there.

You have to see it right here. Feel it. You got to feel it right here, like I am. It's all I am. I am. I am in my dream home. I am in my dream relationship. And then unpack what that looks like.

But most importantly, unpack what it feels like. And when you have that emotion in this moment all of a sudden you stir up something that i don't think will ever go back to sleep it'll go okay let's go get that develop your mind you don't get in life what you want you get in life what you are you have greatness in you that you have the ability to do more than you could ever begin to imagine you have greatness in you, that you have the ability to do more than you could ever begin to imagine. You have greatness in you. There's a presence in each and every one of us that waits and listens to the voice of the genuine in yourself. It will be perhaps the only guide you will ever have or hear. And if you cannot hear it, all of your life will be spent on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls. When you recognize your greatness, no one will ever pull your strings. You are different. You were created on purpose with

a purpose to manifest that purpose through you. But you will never exercise authority and dominion over your life until you exercise authority and dominion over what you are not. 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. 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 when you wanna bet on sports played on a field or ice or course their rivers is the place over under money lines same game paulie gets all fine you'll put a smile on your face bet on the sports you love with bet river sportsbook take a chance must be 19 plus available in ontario only please play responsibly if you have questions or concerns about your gambling or someone close to you please contact connects ontario at 1-866-531-2600 to speak to an advisor free of charge 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 gotta 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 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 it. 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 the situation may be that purpose has been fulfilled it is already here it was already meant to be 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 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 part of that day that means you got work to do success doesn't hold you you owe success success doesn't work for you you work 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. And we need power.

And we need gratitude. And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble.

And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble. And we need to be humble. And we need power. And we need gratitude. And we need to be humble. But we must always stay hungry. And keep going. What plans do you have today? How much peace do you have in your heart? Where do you want to go from here in your life?

What are your plans for the rest of your life. Don't waste your time doing nothing. This is when you have to go within yourself and know that you must make every day count. Because tomorrow doesn't belong to you. Feeling sorry?

Not going to work. Not going to help you. Being down, we all go through it. I can't stay neutral. I have to press on. I have to press on. You got to press on. For each day you live, for each day you breathe, there's a chance. Each day that you open your eyes, there's a chance.

So let's go. When you say that you're not going to make it, then you won't make it. But when you say I gotta make it, you will win it all. It's my time. And I got to put the work in And I got to be hungry enough To go after it Each and every day I understand It will never be easy

I understand that I got to work But I will not give up I know that I have to work I know that I have to believe. I know that I have to believe. I know I have to trust in me. Because that's the power, ladies and gentlemen. That is the ultimate truth. Is believing.

You got to stand on it every day. Tomorrow does not belong to any of us Tomorrow It has already set the stage For what's coming So let's go And live Open up your mindset and live. Feel your heart beating and live. Not one living human being is perfect. Not one. But we have to do our best to do the things that we must do

to carry on. It's too hard. I don't want to do it. Then it's you with the problem. Stop playing the blame game and go about your business. It's up to me now. When it starts to get too tough for you,

and you don't seem to have the mental capacity to fight through the pain and the agony, you still got to stand. And sometimes you just got to stand alone. Whatever it is that you need to do, get it done and get it done right now. How can you say you enjoy life if you're not taking care of yourself?

How can you say you are living your best life if you're not taking care of yourself. How can you say you are living your best life. If you're not taking care of your life. Get up and transform your mindset. Get up and live. Swallow that pride. Let's do it together. Let's get to work together. Let's lift each other up together.

Make every day count. For each day you live, for each day you breathe, there's a chance. Be productive. Be strong. And from the bottom of my heart, ladies and gentlemen, conduct your business.

I want your dream to be so clear, so vivid. That when you wake up in the morning, all you got to do is step in your dreams when you wake up in the morning look at your goals your goals gonna tell you what time to get up are you hearing me your goals won't tell you who you should be hanging out with people ask me quite a lot of Eric's I do this and I do that I can't tell you but your goals gonna tell you how much sleep do you need you might not need to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning for your goals I don't know but your goals are going to define what time you get up how you live your life how you move when you say yes when

you say no like when you write your goals down you will know no can't do it yep that's for me are you hearing me so write it down and keep writing it down over and over and over what do you want look you you eat however you want to eat you you you do whatever you want to do right you don't know what you want when you're not clear on what you want like you you get up whenever you feel like it you don't have no drive you don't have no passion and so when people ask me where your passion come from where your drive come from i know your drive come from? I know what I want. Every single day, I wake up, boom, and I go pursue it. Every single day. How far will your will take you this year? Because there's some things in life you're not going to get. They're not coming to you. You got

to go take it. There's some stuff that you can't even just earn by doing the good things, doing the right. Listen to me. There's some stuff, if you and you gonna get it, you got a will to get it. It will happen, it will come to pass, but it's not gonna happen at your desk, like at your job. It's not gonna happen in the basement at your crib. It's not gonna happen with you in the bed dreaming about it. It's not gonna happen with you in the shower thinking about it.

There's some stuff, and I'm telling you from experience, you know I was homeless in a high school dropout. You know that, right? You know I was eating out of garbage cans. People say, E, how did you from experience, you know, I was homeless in the ice cream dropout, you know that right, you know I was eating out of garbage cans people say eat. How did you get to where you are? I will get because something's only come with heart with will and so you work on your will stop giving up and stop quitting Stop giving it every time stuff get hard December is gonna look just like last December to you life will break you If your will ain't strong Every day matters so be phenomenal or be forgotten

now we got to keep climbing we got to keep moving we got to keep going you're not where you are because you don't have an opportunity the reason why I've been telling you don't be average don't't be good, try to be great and be phenomenal. The reason why I told you that is because listen to me, you got to understand. You have to understand if you stay average and you stay good, you'll never get to where you're trying to get to. Great is about growth.

It's about going from the Wright Brothers to the smaller plane to a 757. Are you hearing me? There's 757 in you. And you're still operating on the Wright Brothers plane. And I'm telling you, if you average, you're going to be forgotten. If you're good, you're going to be forgotten. Nobody's going to remember you. Listen to me.

You've got to get away. You've got to run from average like a plague. And then when you get to good, you've to run from average like a plague and then when you get to good you got to make up in your mind that good is only going to be for a few moments it's just it's just a platform you're gonna get out of good you're gonna go to great and then you're gonna be like your boy man for real i'm trying to transition i'm trying to transition i'm trying to go from great man look you see it this your dream this your goal so you gotta make an investment in it if you need 10 grand you make the investment right stop

asking people to sponsor your dream to make your goal become a reality to babysit your child to rear up yoke that what was birthed in you to take care of it take listen to me stop begging invest in yourself I'm gonna me. Stop begging. Invest in yourself. I'm going to tell you something. If you invest in yourself, what you will discover is that other people will invest in you. But I'm telling you,

ain't nothing going to change if you can't see it. So I ask you a question. What do you want? And I ask you, what do you want? Because the days you don't feel like

getting up out the bed, the days you feel like quitting, giving up, and giving in, listen to me. The only thing that's going to get you up out that bed, the only you feel like quitting, giving up, and giving in. Listen to me, the only thing that's going to get you up out that bed, the only thing that's going to make you strive past that obstacle, get past that brick wall, and come in. The only thing that's going to make you

get up and do what you perform to do is what you see. You got some special inside of you. You're not only a special person created at a special time, you have something special in you you're not only a special person created a special time you have something special in you and this is the year for you to do special things all right so this is the year to do the impossible i need you to drive possible what do i mean when i say drive possible i mean okay let me give you an example right you got a tree right if you hit a tree I'm talking about a big oak tree if you hit an oak tree a thousand times in a thousand different spots what's gonna happen absolutely nothing but if you hit an oak tree a thousand times in the exact same spot you know what's gonna happen you're gonna bring it down you're going to do

the impossible so what I need you to do for me Monday I need you to do the possible Tuesday I need you to be possible Wednesday I need you to do for me Monday I need you to do the possible Tuesday I need you to be possible Wednesday I need you to be possible Thursday I need you to do Friday I need you to be possible Saturday Sunday I need you to do the possible we're gonna drive it home what am I talking about I'm talking about being consistent I'm talking about regularity listen to me I'm talking about consistency once you can get that momentum going once that momentum gets going boom is no telling where you can go that momentum going, once that momentum gets going, boom, there's no telling where you can go. So the first level was all about you, all about you.

Understand there's nothing you can't do. There's nothing you can't have. There's nothing you can't be. But that's over now. Now we got to build on that. What are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want? What are you willing to give up? You want to be the best at your company.

You want to make more money than you've ever made. You want to travel the world. I don't know. I don't know. You want to build your second home. I'm not sure what you want to be the best at your company you want to make more money than you've ever made you want to travel the world i don't know i don't know you want to build your second home i'm not sure what you want but i need you to understand that you got to give stuff you can't stay where you are and go where you're trying to go and that's the problem many of you you love your comfort zone too much you love it you love security too much and i'm telling you you can stay where you are you can but you can't stay where you are and try to go where you going So what sacrifices this year you willing to make what are you willing to let go of? Will you willing to give up?

All right. What are you willing to part ways with right? All right So that's why we say you gotta want this thing as bad as you want to breathe But before you can want as bad as you wanna breathe, you gotta know what you want. For real, I've been out of the country. I did that, I got the passport. I seen the world, I did that. I got the degree, I did it.

I've been there, done that. I'm married, yup, got the house, yup. Picket fence, yup. Two kids, yup, I got it. Now I'm trying to let other people taste it. I'm trying to let other people see it I'm trying to let other people feel what it feels like to break a cycle I'm trying to let other people feel what it feels like to make their dreams become a reality are you hearing me nobody else gotta see what you see but you gotta see it and you gotta see it clearly so what is and when I say see it hear what I'm

saying I'm not talking about visual. I'm talking about in your mind. I'm talking about using your imagination. Like you ain't got to pay for that. There's no limits. There's no boundaries. Like stop letting people stop you. Stop letting people tell you, Eric, if I was you, I wouldn't do it.

You ain't me. You're not me. So of course you don't see it. Of course you don't think it could be done. Why? Because you can't do it. But just because you can't do it don't mean I can't do it. And they not hate me. Stop calling them haters haters they just don't see what you see they're

not in your mind and then when i talk about seeing it i'm not just talking about your imagination i'm talking about purpose and in your heart like believing and having faith 100 that whatever it is you set out to do that you can do it that you've got everything that's it you've got what it takes to do it you are unique you are special you listen to me you were designed in a way that nobody else was you got there is when they when that blueprint was made for you listen to me they threw it out there's nobody else like you so you gotta do your favor you gotta believe it this ain't about today this ain't about today, this ain't about tomorrow, this is about every day. Why? Because every day matters and when you learn to perfect every single day, you're going

to wake up and see yourself doing things you never thought were possible. I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a,
