You don't know who you really are until everything goes wrong.
You don't know what you can take until the pressure is applied to your life.
You don't know how much courage you have until you've been under fire and under struggle and under tribulation.
These are the ups, the downs, successes, failures.
This is the totality in the process of life, and you can't escape it.
Because sometimes we don't understand like what is this thing.
What is my purpose?
Why am I here?
Why don't have to go through this pain?
Why can it just be peaceful all the time?
Then it wouldn't be life.
Success is not measured on the days when the sun shines.
Success is measured on the dark, stormy, cloudy days.
And if you can't absorb failure, you're never going to meet success.
There's going to be bad days.
There's going to be dark days.
But you've got to embrace it.
because that pain is what makes you stronger.
You live life long enough, you're going to have some extreme stress.
But what you do with that stress is what your life is about.
Anybody can do well when things are going their way.
What do you do when everything is unjust?
What do you do when your own control of things is taken from you?
You have to get to that place where you let go what is,
and you've got to create a new.
When you're going through hell, what do you do?
You keep going.
and you put one foot in front of the other.
Don't allow your mistakes to bury you.
I want you to expect good things to happen,
even when something bad happened.
You have to live your life with the expectation
that great things are coming your way.
There ain't nothing you can do about what's going to happen to you.
You can't stop life from happening.
You can do something about it.
I am the creator of my life.
I'm not the manager of my circumstances anymore.
There is something I can still do.
When I think there's nothing can be done, that's when I know something can be done.
Life is 10% of what happened to you.
It's 90% of what you do about it.
You've got to stop tripping every time something happened to you like it's the end of the world.
It ain't.
Your track record for surviving bad days is 100%.
You survived all the trouble you ever been in.
I don't care what's going on around you because it's not what happens.
around you that determines your success is what happens inside you your belief your faith
your drive your determination your persistence your perseverance your spirit greater is he that is in
you and what's out here in this world this is not the time to worry this is the time to be a warrior
this might be your current circumstances but this will not be how the story is
It's all you have to do is to survive today.
Give it one more day.
Give it one more chance.
Give it one more opportunity.
Today might not be the day, but soon it will be my day, and I will recycle my pay.
But that day can't come if I give up today.
You will fail if you give up.
I can guarantee you that.
I can guarantee you will be a failure if you quit.
But I don't know what's going happen if you keep going, but just keep going just to see what's on the other side.
And when something happens to you, don't experience it as a failure, as a defeat.
Look at it and find out what is it that I didn't know.
What is it that I can learn from this experience?
Try and come back again.
Persistence, patience, perseverance.
When something doesn't work, there's always another solution.
There's a way that you can begin to handle this.
There's a way out here somewhere.
There's a solution.
Where there's a will, there's a way for me to begin to create a way out of no way.
If you're creative enough, can you find the answer?
Yes or no?
If you're determined enough, can you find the breakthrough?
Yes or no.
If there's no way that you're committed, can you find the money?
Even if you don't have it, yes or no?
Creativity, decisiveness, passion.
These are the ultimate human resources.
And when you engage these resources, you can get any other resource on Earth.
What reason can you remember that you can call on, that you can reach on, that can make you get back up?
Find that reason.
I can make it.
Yes, I can.
Doesn't matter how many failures I've made.
Doesn't matter how many mistakes I've endured.
Doesn't matter about my defeats.
Doesn't matter about what I've done.
I've got to do this.
I'm the one that's going to turn this around.
These roadblocks, these obstacles, this opposition won't stop me from doing what I want to do.
It can temporarily cripple me.
But it won't stop me.
It will not determine my reality.
Oh, you're being unrealistic.
You're dreaming. Yes, I am dreaming.
A lot of people stop dreaming. Don't you stop dreaming?
You've got greatness in you. Don't you underestimate yourself?
Don't you give more power to what you've gone through and let it define you?
It really doesn't matter what has happened to us in the past.
No, that doesn't have to be your reality.
You want things to go good for you from now on?
You can make that happen.
You've got the power to do that.
You can change things for you.
The power to succeed or fail you.
is yours and no one can take that away from you.
And you are the determining factor.
You aren't giving any breaks in life.
You make them for yourself.
We are all being tested in life.
And how you face that test determines the rest of your life.
There's a lot of times where I don't know how I'm going to move forward,
but I ask myself one question.
Can you take another step?
And that answer is always yes.
those circumstances will make us
stronger. And most
fucking demons are coming at you and they're attacking
you. If you feel
you can't handle them, you have to
invent someone that can. We all
have the ability to transform
ourselves to bring more out.
Regardless of what's in front of you,
you still must grind.
I feel that most things
I do, but still I grind.
I don't want to do have to shit I do.
But still I grind.
And that one day, you see,
We've seen me on a dark alley, run at one o'clock in the morning, no one thing.
I was grinding.
It happens in solitude where I tried, and I try, and I try again.
With everything I have to be the best that I can possibly be, better than I was yesterday,
better than people thought I could be, better than I thought I could be, because I will not stop.
I won what all other men want, but when the pressure hits, when the opposition hits,
When the challenge hits, when the pain creeps in, when the uncertainty creeps in,
when the cuts, when the scars, when the bruises come, I just want it a little bit more than they want it.
And if you ain't got more than me, if you ain't been working harder than me,
if you ain't sacrificed more than me, I'm going to destroy you, and I'm not retreating.
I'm not running.
I don't care what they say on paper.
I don't care if you say we outnumbered.
We live by this and we die by this.
We don't run.
We don't retreat.
You know how hard I work to get here?
And you think I'm about to get us up?
Have you lost your mind?
I put in too many hours.
I sweat too much blood, too much tears.
I worked hard to get here.
Didn't nobody give me this.
I didn't grow up with wealth.
Didn't nobody pay me.
I work for this.
Sweat, blood, tears.
I earn every dime I get.
I work for this.
I put in time.
You got to learn how not to give up or how not to give in.
You got a crime.
You got you.
Whatever you do, you cannot give up.
You cannot give in.
You are the only person that can stop you, so stop talking.
like a victim, stop thinking like a victim, stop acting like a victim, and walk into your destiny.
Walk into it.
Once you start questioning yourself, you're already lost.
Even if you don't believe, believe.
I gotta believe in me before anybody else believe in me.
If you're gonna be successful in this game, you gotta have a dog within you, you gotta know it's a dog fight,
and you gotta go get that fight.
Life ain't gonna be easy, ain't nobody gonna hand you nothing.
And so by being committed to everything that I started, I finished it and built a certain time.
type of spirit. It built a certain type of mentality. And so now I couldn't quit even if I wanted to.
I couldn't stop even if I wanted to. I had too much sweat equity in my life and everything that I was
doing. When you have a made-up mind, you don't care about the facts. You don't care about the
odds because you are creating your own production. You are the star of your show. You are the director.
You're writing the script. And you will determine whether your life is a smashed office hip or
flop. You determine that. Working on yourself, talking to yourself, that's so very important.
You have got to make a decision in your life. You have got to make a decision about your fitness.
You have got to make decisions about your business. You have got to make decisions about your
marriage. You have got to make decisions about your kid because you know what? Your only other
option is to crouch in stagnant fear like a coward and potentially die and potentially put
the lives of everyone who depends on you in jeopardy.
And the reason that Chad Wright is sitting here right now talking to you
is because Chad Wright mustered whatever strength that he had left
to crawl his way back onto his freaking feet and pony up.
That no matter how many times I was knocked down,
that I would muster enough strength to get back on my feet and get in the fight.
How you handle rejection determines whether you will be successful in life.
Do you know what rejection does to self-esteem?
Do you understand how personal this is?
I'm talking about what happens in your stomach.
I'm talking about the taste of bowel in your mouth that comes out of your liver
because it's not just that the door is closed.
The closing of the door says, you ain't no man.
You ain't no man.
You ain't nothing.
And this is a crisis.
And it brings up every negative thing that has ever.
been sad about you in your whole life.
You're thinking about quitting.
You're thinking about giving up.
You are caving in.
Don't give up.
Stay in it.
Stay focused.
Maybe you need to rename your storm.
Yeah, it sucks.
Yeah, it's hard.
But somehow healing's coming out of this.
You get to make a choice.
Is failure going to break you or is failure going to make you?
You get to decide failure doesn't.
It's not in falling that makes those failures.
It's not getting up that makes me.
failures and you get to decide if you get up or you don't get up.
We're going to take setbacks. We're going to take some defeats from time to time in our
lives. When that happens, what that actually does and what that actually should do is make your
vision clear. Make your mission clear. It's easy to have faith and feel good when you're feeling
good and you have no pain and your bills of pain. It's easy to be motivated then, but when that's
not the situation, it's hard. But it's worth fighting. It's worth.
mustering yourself up, standing up
inside yourself, it's worth being up
tempo, it's worth fighting relentlessly,
never giving up. There's going to be
things that go on that are out of your control.
The worst thing you can do is let
something that's out of your control,
control you. Get control of yourself,
get control of your emotions.
Don't get angry, don't get frustrated.
Instead, stay calm
and figure out how to move
forward. Most of you
are not under covenant. Covenant means
look, me and you, if the company go to
We go down with it.
We do not retreat.
We do not give up.
We do not surrender.
When you come to an engagement and you speak as if you're making the most you've ever made when you're not, when you get up at six, when you don't have to.
Covenant.
You've got to stand up inside yourself sometimes and say, shut up.
I'm in control here.
You've got to do this.
I was going to give a presentation.
And this voice inside of me saying, you can't do this.
You don't have everything it takes.
I shut up.
I have got to do it.
The power to hold on in spite of everything, the power to endure, the hunger, the ability to face defeat again and again without giving up.
This is a winner's quality.
You have that quality within you.
It's the mindset.
And if you change your mindset, mindset is important because we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we use to create them.
You better change the way you think.
All you need to do is change your thinking and you change your world.
You don't need to change anything else.
There are those of you in this room, you don't need a number.
You don't need another book.
There are those of you in this room, you don't need another course.
And I'm not telling you not to take one.
You don't need to do anything else.
You are enough as you are.
You just don't believe in yourself
in the way you suppose to believe in yourself,
and it comes out when you talk to other people.
They sense that you don't believe it.
And people feel weakness.
They feel it.
You can feel when somebody's not committed,
when they're not dedicated.
And there's another level you get to when you go all in.
No one believed in me.
I believed in myself.
Belief came for me was going through those hell weeks, taping those legs up, getting up early in the morning, by myself, no coach, motivating myself every single day. I'm forming belief.
So when those hard times come, I know exactly how to get through them.
The heart of the battle, the sweet of the victory. It's good to you what? See, when it's hard and there's a struggle, what you become in the process is more important in the dream.
That's far more important. The kind of person you become, the character that you built, the courage,
that you develop, the faith that you're manifesting.
Oh, it's something that you get up in the morning,
you look yourself in a mirror, you're a different kind of person.
You walk with a different kind of spirit.
