Embrace being an underdog.
Embrace being the individual that they say cannot do it.
The underdog is a person that comes out on the playing field and says, okay, I've been in this place of pain my whole life.
I've gone without for so long.
This is the day you make up in your mind where I will take the throne.
If you are an underdog, you got to believe against all odds.
If you are an underdog, you got to learn to close your ears to everybody.
You got to learn to close your ears to everything.
You got to learn to block out the distractions, and you've got to learn to get focused, all right?
The champion is the one that never lets the sun catch them sleeping.
This is what life is all about.
Everyone on Super Bowl Sunday.
They ruled for the underdog
Because it's something about watching the little man
The small people
The people that they say are not that talents
Watching them succeed
You must wake up every morning and pull and dig
Every day for that one day to show up
And don't you stop pulling
Don't you stop digging until it shows up
Because they said you can't do it
They say you don't have what it takes to make
investments. They say you don't have what it takes to lose the weight. They say you don't have
what it takes to hang on to your marriage. Everybody has been counting out. Everybody has been
doubted. Watch the next time you say forget the underdog because that dog has more
bite than that pig bull. Keep fighting. The underdog is truly the greatest. The underdog is not a
who doesn't feel pain, doubt, and fear.
The underdog is a person that turns that pain,
that doubt, that fear into their fuel.
It ain't no shame in thinking about quitting.
It ain't no shame in getting tired.
It's no shame in feeling burnt out.
It's no shame.
But the trick is, don't just think about it.
Say to yourself, I got to rethinking and get this thought out of my mind.
Why?
Because the shame isn't quitting.
So if you thought about it,
It ain't nothing wrong with that boo, but whatever you do, don't let that thought.
Don't let that thought become a reality, all right?
Everyone has been an underdog.
Streams all the way back to Little League.
When you were a toddler, people will look past you and believe that you didn't have what it taken.
What do you want to do to prove them wrong?
How are you going to go about that?
See, there's a beauty in the underdog because nobody sees you coming.
You see, there's a difference between a dreamer and a chaser.
Dreamers keep dreaming.
Chasers get to work for coming.
So are you a dreamer or a chaser?
Be ready to fight.
Be ready to fight for your life.
Be ready to give it everything you got.
Make sure what you are up against, understand that you wanted to do business.
You are there to work hard.
You are there to outwork what's against you.
Nine times out of ten, the underdog always comes out with the wind
because the underdog was more hungry.
The wolf that is on the hill is never as hungry.
It's the wolf that is climbing the hill.
The underdog is still trying to prove himself.
The underdog is still trying to tell the world,
I can do this.
Whatever that dream is, whatever you have, that goal, that improbable feet,
Once you get it set, once you smell that, once you get a feel for a taste of it,
and the underdog is an individual who refuses to live in the dark.
I know what it's like to be an underdog.
I know what it's like to be laughed at.
I know what it's like to have a dream and have no one believe in you.
I know what it's like to be dumped, to be written off, and to be slept on.
It sucks.
It hurts.
It's depressing.
I'm here to tell you that you need to get over it.
It means nothing.
It's all in your head.
The 10 words that will ruin your life
are what will other people think
and what will other people say.
Because many of us do not admit it.
They see the underdog win.
It puts belief in us.
The struggle of getting people to believe
that if they put you in,
you won't let them down.
The struggle of making people believe
that you have what it take
to get the job done.
But remember,
do not see you coming
as you rise,
as you work every single day
tirelessly.
For what you dream of,
it doesn't matter who says
you're not good enough.
It doesn't matter
if they say
you're not qualified enough.
The only thing that matters is that you're willing to work your behind all to change their mind for it.
Underdog is just a man or a woman who has made up their mind.
They are no longer going to live in their setbacks.
They are no longer going to live in your reality.
Your reality of me says I'm not enough.
Your reality of me says, I can't do this.
Your reality of me says you won't finish today.
My reality says all I have is all I need.
I'm not living at my setback any longer.
I'm moving forward.
I'm coming after everything you said I couldn't have.
