Starting point is 00:02:00 I say to you right now that you must tell excuses, fear and doubt that it has no place and your place of business For this is your life that you are fighting for This is your life that you are living for Don't let anyone take away who you are how true you are and what you matter in this world to so many other people I need you to believe in every possibility that you have and understand that it is not over for you. And maybe you may be in a position where you feel that you are broken or you're feeling that you are going to be broken.
Starting point is 00:02:37 But I'm here to let you know, ladies and gentlemen, that you are built to last. I'm here to let you know that you don't have the right to complain anymore. I'm here to let you know. That you got to keep on living. And living on strong. You had to experience some things. That you did not understand. You had to experience some greatness.
Starting point is 00:02:59 You had to experience some weaknesses. You had to experience things. That no one could understand. But you are the one that has to be responsible to go through it. You were put on your back and you probably thought that you didn't have the ability to come back. But today, dawn is coming. The sun is going to rise and you will see the light within you.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Don't you give up on life because once your life is over you can't come back. Leave your mark. Help someone. Lift someone up when they're down. Be the strength for others when they're weak. And maybe when you're at the weakest point in your life,
Starting point is 00:03:53 someone will lift you up. Because we all struggle. No one is immune to it. It is necessary that you struggle. It is necessary that you feel alone. It is necessary that you struggle. It is necessary that you feel alone. It is necessary that you have to continue to go forward. Nothing can stop this because that light has already been there. That light is embedded in you. That light exists in you. What about the other people out here who can't walk? What about the people out here who can't walk?
Starting point is 00:04:25 What about the people out there who can't talk? What about the people out there that are suffering from diseases that cannot be cured from? What about you? What are you going to do about the life you have? How are you going to live? How far are you going to go?
Starting point is 00:04:44 Run with greatness. Run with a full heart. You got to be willing to sacrifice. You got to be willing to hurt. You got to be willing to yell out. Whatever it takes, keep pushing forward. Your life is your life. And you have the right to live it the best way you can.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yes, it hurts sometimes. When you feel alone. It hurts sometimes when you're in that dark place and you feel no one cares about you. The first thing you got to realize is that you got to love yourself. It's about self-love. Start understanding that if you're going to do something with your life, you got to fall in love with yourself again. You got to stop self-hating yourself.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Do something that's going to make you a better person. Make an impact in this world. Don't look at it as though it's something that you got to do temporary. Although we know that life is short. Like many people in this world, they didn't realize that the next day they was going to be diagnosed with a cancer. They thought that tomorrow was going to be waiting for them and they did not wake up. But you are still living. Now, what do you have to do?
Starting point is 00:06:37 How are you going to move forward? How are you going to proceed your life? Life is not a game. Life is living. There's the good and there's the bad. And there's definitely the right now. You can't wait for somebody else to make your life better. You got to make your life better. You got to make your life better.
Starting point is 00:07:05 You got to focus on you. Now, I'm not saying forget the rest of the people, but I'm telling you to get rid of the things that are not making you strong, that are not making you better, that are not making you efficient, that's not putting you in a better place, that's not giving you the strength that you need to keep living the life that you have been given.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Don't you give up on life, because once your life is over, you can't come back. Leave your mark. Help someone. Lift someone up when they're down. Be the strength for others when they're weak. And maybe when you're at the weakest point in your life, someone will lift you up. Because we all struggle.
Starting point is 00:07:59 No one is immune to it. So keep fighting for it. Don't give up. Live, breathe, life, you. That's what it's about. It's gonna hurt. Sometimes it's gonna get tough. But when it it's going to get tough. But when it gets tough, you get tough.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Just make sure you make your mark. Make sure you make your mark in this world. Because somebody didn't make it today. But you did. Keep living. Keep living strong. Don't give up. It is not about worrying about what's going to happen tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:09:04 because guess what? Tomorrow doesn't owe you or me anything. As a matter of fact, tomorrow has already made up its mind. 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.
Starting point is 00:09:33 You have this chance to do something great with this life that you have been given. You may have been through a lot in your life. You may have been through a lot in your life. You may have been through hell in your life,
Starting point is 00:09:51 but hell doesn't own you. Hell did not create you. Life has been given to you from a higher power. Something that you need to understand that no matter who you are in this world that we live in today, everyone must struggle. Everyone must suffer. But everybody that is going through something always has a story to tell. Most people that are successful right now had to go through something to get what they got to this day.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Some people are not even willing to hurt and to feel that so that they get what it is that they want. But let's go beyond that. What about the other people out here who can't walk? What about the people out there who can't talk? What about the people out there that are suffering from diseases that cannot be cured from? What about you? What about you? What are you going to do about the life you have
Starting point is 00:11:05 how are you gonna live how far are you gonna go do you feel sorry for yourself because you're having a bad day do you feel sorry for yourself because you lost your job do you feel sorry for yourself because you just feel like you're just not having the day that you want to have? Because the day that you have is not the way you want it to go? Or do you feel that you deserve a pat on your back? Because you did a good thing. We all got a responsibility. We all got to be accountable. We all got a responsibility. We all got to be accountable.
Starting point is 00:11:48 We all got to put in work. But don't give up. Because there's somebody out there right now that is hurting. There's somebody out there right now that is struggling. There's somebody out there right now that's got it a little bit tougher than you do. So why are you going to give up now? Anything that comes your way, you got to be prepared to accept the challenge and go through it. Don't lay on your back.
Starting point is 00:12:15 If something's on your chest, get it off. As long as you're breathing. As long as that heart is pumping blood. You're not dead yet. They haven't put rose petals on your box yet. Make sure every breath you take counts for something. It's time to understand that if you want to get something out of your life, you got to be willing to work for it. How much are you really willing to give? Are you prepared to hurt? Are you prepared to hurt?
Starting point is 00:12:54 Are you prepared to struggle? Because if you're not that person, then lay back down. Stay where you are. Don't move forward. Move backwards. But if you are the person that you say you are, we don't have time to wait because time doesn't owe you anything. Time is not thinking about you. Time is already made up its mind. What you going to do? Who said it's supposed to be easy? It takes grit. It takes tenacity. It takes grit. It takes tenacity. It takes sacrifice. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. This is not a pity party. But you got the right to celebrate the life.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Because no matter if it's good or if it's bad, nothing is greater than living. Because if you're living, there's a possibility to change something. But not just change it. Evolve it. Evolve it to something greater. Being able to take something
Starting point is 00:14:04 that may not be nothing to others, but may mean something to you. There are so many people in this world that don't believe in you. But while you're sitting around worrying about people believing in you, why don't you focus on believing in yourself? Live. Breathe. why don't you focus on believing in yourself live breathe
Starting point is 00:14:29 life you that's what it's about why do you run why are you running are you running? Are you running for a reason? Do you know the purpose behind the run?
Starting point is 00:14:56 Do you have enough faith in why you're running? Are you afraid you're going to fall down? Do you have enough balance? Are you prepared to test your balance? How fast can you run? Maybe you got to slow down sometimes. Maybe when you cut that corner, you got to understand that when you turn in that corner, there's a unique obstacle that is waiting for you. But are you prepared to run through it? Are you prepared to run fast? Are you prepared to run strong?
Starting point is 00:15:37 Do you understand what it means to run? So many people run away. They run away instead of running forward. Instead of running towards something. You may have to take your time
Starting point is 00:15:59 and just jog a little bit. But sooner or later you got to pick up the pace. You got to start moving a little bit faster. And you got to have the desire to run hard. To understand that there is something that has to be done.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Don't run for stats. Don't run for glory. Run because you know it's necessary. But understand that endurance is required. Don't let dead weight slow you down. Because dead weight is exactly that. It's dead. It has no life.
Starting point is 00:16:54 But you have life. And you must continue to push and run as fast as you can. And if you feel that you're getting a little tired. If you feel that you don't have enough left in you. I suggest you push that next button. I suggest you go into that second and third gear. I suggest that you understand. That you got to be the one.
Starting point is 00:17:23 To make it to the finish line. And even when you cross the finish line, prepare yourself for the next race of your life. Because every day you're racing. Run fast. Run strong. Run with power. Run with greatness. Run with a full heart. strong run with power run
Starting point is 00:17:45 with greatness run with a full heart and believe in it but don't quit understand why you're running if you ever question why you're running. If you ever question why you run,
Starting point is 00:18:07 believe and know there's a purpose behind everything that you do. It is time to run for your life. Pushing with everything you have inside of you. Running towards an opportunity. Running towards a victory.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Running as hard as you can. You got to understand why you're running. You have to understand the significance and why you're running. Don't run away from the challenges. Don't run away because it's not going the way you want it to go.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Run. Run with a full heart. Run with everything you have in your heart. Get your legs moving. And run. Sometimes you may ask yourself, how fast can I run? How fast can I get to my destination? But you have to also understand when you're running, you got to have in your mind that you got to pace yourself.
Starting point is 00:19:49 You got to be able to pay attention when you're running. Because while you're running, there are going to be obstacles around you and these obstacles are going to be put in place that may try to distract you but you got to keep running and some days you're going to be slow and some days you just gotta be fast but make sure when you're running you got that mindset in the right place don't be reckless be productive in it and understand that it means something
Starting point is 00:20:39 recognize your beliefs recognize your beliefs, recognize your drive. Don't concern yourself with things that doesn't concern your best. Because if you're not giving your best, then the rest will catch up to you. So stay ahead of the pack.
Starting point is 00:21:06 And don't slack. Because it will only push you back. Continue the journey. And keep your eyes on the prize. Your rewards are waiting for you. You don't want to be the slowest one on the track. But you got to be the one that's thinking.
Starting point is 00:21:30 But don't take too much time thinking too much. But understanding that you have to commit to why you're running. Running is good. But you got to walk a little bit first. You got to walk a little
Starting point is 00:21:51 bit so you can understand what's about to happen. You got to walk a little bit so when it's time to put the pedal to the metal, you got to head up and you're thriving and you strike and you move it so fast that nothing around you can stop you so don't be late for the celebration of your victory because your victory belongs Because your victory. Belongs to you. No one else. Take pride in it. Believe in it. Stand on it.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Earn it. Because it's yours. Keep it moving. Be productive. Be powerful. And from the bottom of my heart. Be productive. Be powerful. And from the bottom of my heart, run strong, run hard, and conduct your business. Remember the time when you wanted more. Remember the time when there were people in your life that did not believe in you.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Remember the time when you honestly gave up on the possibilities of the uniqueness that you had inside. Remember there was a time that you complained so much, but yet did so little. There comes to a point in your life that you must recognize that there's a little bit more that has to be done than just complaining about it. You have to realize that you don't have any other opportunities waiting for you if you're not willing to work for the first opportunity that's been given to you. You don't have a lot of time left. So there's no reason to complain. You're
Starting point is 00:24:10 not even in a position to complain. You have to figure out that there has to be another idea about you. And you have to understand that there has to be something even greater and more challenging waiting for you. And if you're not willing to step outside of your comfort zone, if you're not willing to understand the principles and the possibilities that you have within yourself,
Starting point is 00:24:38 then everything that you are thriving for, everything that you are hungry for will soon come to an end. then everything that you are thriving for, everything that you are hungry for, will soon come to an end. Now I'm not here to preach to you about this. I'm here to let you know that there are things that are going on around you right now that are far greater than your complaining. You complaining about so much.
Starting point is 00:25:08 But yet you show no action. If you could trade places with someone right now. And the person that you are trading places with. May have it just a little bit tougher. Than you have it going on in your life right now. So many people are suffering from so many things in this world at this moment. But yet you're complaining.
Starting point is 00:25:39 So many people in this world right now wish they could trade places with you. But yet you're still complaining. You don't have that right to just give up. You don't have that right to just throw in the towel and say that it's over for you. Ladies and gentlemen, you got to understand that the reason that you are existing in this world right now is because you have things that must be done and only certain people are qualified
Starting point is 00:26:14 to take it to the level that it needs to be taken to. For there should never be a limitation to wherever it is that you are seeking and how far you are willing to travel and how far you are willing to go. Sometimes people tend to get a little lazy. Sometimes people like to put themselves in this little bitty box and just say that they are okay with where they are. There can never just be an okay to anything when it comes to that life. There should never just be a complacent mindset. How do we evolve? How do you evolve? How do you grow? One thing about success,
Starting point is 00:27:09 there are going to be many struggles. There are going to be many challenges. And there are going to be a lot of things that you may not even understand. But you got to go back to where it started. Remember when you want it more. Because you cannot satisfy your hunger with negative energy. Being negative doesn't help you to grow. Being doubtful doesn't give you the power that you need
Starting point is 00:27:46 you have to come to a point in your life that you must realize that there are things that are going on that is testing you and maybe you may be in a position where you feel that you are broken or you're feeling that you're going to be broken but I'm here to let you know ladies and gentlemen that you are built to last
Starting point is 00:28:13 I'm here to let you know that you don't have the right to complain anymore I'm here to let you know that you got to keep on living and living on strong. I dare you to take a trip to your local hospital. And if you have an opportunity to walk down those corridors and witness so many different people different age groups different ethnicities and each one of these individuals are fighting something they're dealing with some type of sickness. And some of these sicknesses, they may not be able to recover from. I dare you to walk down a neighborhood where there are many people that are homeless and have no place to go.
Starting point is 00:29:19 No food to eat. Barely even have clothes on their backs. I dare you to realize that maybe you just don't have it so bad after all. Maybe it's time for you to realize and recognize that your troubles are not that bad. Maybe it's time that you realize that you need to get away from the drama that's in your life. Maybe it's time for you to stop chasing misery and start chasing your dreams. Reconnect with yourself. Because this is not the time for you to be wasting.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Putting yourself back. Instead of pushing yourself forward. Ladies and gentlemen. You have so much. So much to offer. So much to give. So much to do but doing it and sitting around waiting for it to happen it's just gonna stay in neutral you have to electrify the desire that you have that you once had. So the next time
Starting point is 00:30:45 you feel like complaining, you feel like worrying, and you're so concerned about other things that doesn't necessarily concern you, ask yourself, is it making you better? Is it taking you higher? Is it taking you higher? Are you going further?
Starting point is 00:31:09 Or are you just being complacent? Complacent and complaining and worrying and doing things that are not better for you. Are you going to realize that maybe just going up that mountain does take a little bit more work than just having something handed to you? Are you going to be that person that realized that if and when you get to the top of the mountain, it don't just stop there. You got to figure out another way to go even higher. You have to electrify and get all the things that are necessary within you to start doing the things that you need to do. So when the time comes, you can kick down that door and move towards the possibilities of being the best of who you really are. Don't lose yourself. And the things that's not going to give you the strength and the capacity of understanding that you matter for something.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Don't lose yourself in fear. Don't lose yourself in doubt. Don't lose yourself in doubt. Dare yourself to be better. Dare yourself to be unique. Dare yourself to be the best possibility that the world has yet to see. life how beautiful it is how amazing it is
Starting point is 00:33:03 to be able to rise up in the morning and have that sun shine on your face rather than on your grave. What makes life so unique and so beautiful? It is beautiful because whatever you have
Starting point is 00:33:30 that you may be facing, what you may be dealing with, life is still good. Life has so many moving parts, but life is always good every day is a new day and another opportunity that others may not have this life that you have been given
Starting point is 00:34:01 this life that you are temporarily holding on to. This life. That has been just given to you. For only temporary reasons. Has more meaning. Than you can ever imagine. So many people in the world.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Take life for granted. Instead of realizing. That you have to take the opportunity to live it the best way you know how. Now on this journey of life, you're going to face a significant amount of circumstances, a significant amount of challenges. You're going to fall into areas that you cannot understand. And maybe it's not in the position for you to understand at that moment. When you start to feel that you are in a position that you don't love your life then shame on you because your life
Starting point is 00:35:08 is a beautiful game and no one deserves to ruin it no one deserves to control it no one deserves to steal your joy your life is your life and you have the right to live it the best way you can. You must discipline yourself and take full control and responsibility for the outcome or whatever it
Starting point is 00:35:39 is that you are seeking at this moment. There are going to be so many different things that you will embark on. There are going to be so many different things that's going to try to slow you down. There are going to be so many different challenges that you must face. But instead of running away from the challenge, run towards the challenge. Be able to understand that life has meaning.
Starting point is 00:36:15 It has reason. And all of these things that you may be thinking that is so hard on you. Just remember. Sometimes you're going to have to go through these changes. These circumstances. That puts you in a position. To make you feel. That you're not worthy anymore.
Starting point is 00:36:44 But make no mistake. You are worthy. You were created for something. You wasn't created for nothing. Life has a gift, a gift of giving, a gift of receiving. And whether if it's good or bad, you've got to make sure you understand that these circumstances and these challenges has to happen in your life. You will come to a point that you may feel that you are in a hopeless situation. You may come to a point in your life where you're at the end of a rope and the only thing left to do is to climb up because you only can do so much for so long
Starting point is 00:37:35 but make sure you're doing much more instead of doing less stop stressing about the things that you cannot control and stop focusing on the things that you have control of. Take control of your life. Take control of the opportunities.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Believe in yourself and know that it is not over for you. So many people out there in this world right now. Will try to tell you not to be something that you feel in your heart that you want to be. So many people out there right now are miserable. And they'll try their best to take you with them. Do not let misery control the life that you have. Do not let anyone tell you how to live it.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Do not let anyone validate your purpose. Do not let anyone validate your destiny. Someone told you a long time ago that you wasn't worthy. Someone looked you in the eye and said you wasn't going to make it. I say to you right now that you will make it. I say to you right now that you must make it. I say to you right now that you must tell excuses, fear, and doubt that it has no place in your place of business. For this is your life that you are fighting for.
Starting point is 00:39:09 This is your life that you are living for. And make no mistake, no one is going to do you better than you. Don't wait for something to happen. You make it happen. You make it happen for a reason. And take full responsibility and control of this thing we call life. When you are doing everything in your power to be the best makeup of yourself, there's always going to be an adversary that's going to try to take that away from you.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Now, the best way you can overcome this is having the faith. Now, it doesn't matter what you believe in as long as it's something that's positive that's going to get you through it. A lot of people don't have that ability to be strong. And I'm not talking about the physical aspect of strength. I'm literally talking about the mental and of course spiritual aspect of strength don't let pride confuse your tears you got to let that out sometimes you got to let it go when i lost my mom years ago that was the hardest thing that i had to deal with and to this day i still think about that woman that gave me life. And I have my moments when I'm happy about the good times, but I also have my moments when she left this world. But that's just one thing. That's just one circumstance. There are many circumstances
Starting point is 00:40:55 I can talk about, but I continue to move on. 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 going to tell you something, it ain't going to 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. When you get knocked down, how long are you going to stay down? When you lose your job, when you lose lose that loved one regardless if it's your husband
Starting point is 00:41:25 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 when you are so far down that hole you 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. This is a process. And you have to hurt just a little bit.
Starting point is 00:41:56 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 your hopes Don't give up on your dreams Don't give up on yourself 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
Starting point is 00:42:21 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. When you're down, find a way to get up. I've been there. I go through it like anybody else. But I have a job to do in this world and so do you April 6 2020 I lost my dad I lost my mom nine years ago and I just lost my father.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Many people lose things. Things that matter to them. Things that mean something to them. Recently I spoke very highly about my father while he was in this world. But now my father is gone. And what hurt me the most is that I didn't have the chance to say goodbye I didn't have the chance to travel to bury my father because of the crisis that we are facing in our society, in this world right now. But yet I'm here.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Yet I'm still alive. And yet I still got work to do in this world. Does it hurt? Am I grieving? Do I feel a little bit of despair? Absolutely. Absolutely I feel a little bit of despair? Absolutely. Absolutely, I feel that pain. Absolutely, I understand what it means to hurt.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Absolutely, I feel like there's nothing else left in me. Because when I lost my father, a piece of me went with him. Now that's not something to just be telling you. I'm telling you the reality of how I feel as a man as a son as a father as a human being
Starting point is 00:44:34 no matter how strong no matter how tough you think you are you're gonna hurt you're gonna feel that sense of emptiness. You're going to feel that sense of loss. But it. It's to fight through it. There's nothing, nothing on earth can stop your purpose if you just hold on to it. So I live not just for me, not just for my family, not just for the people that look to me but i do it to honor my parents

I don't have that father to talk to or to give advice. It's just me now. The people that mattered in my life, the people that gave me life are no longer in this world, but they exist in my heart. They give me a reason that they left a legacy for me to carry on. This doesn't mean that it's the end of me. It means that I have work to do. It means that I have to continue to push and go harder and go stronger. It means that I have to stay focused. It means that I have to stay faithful.

It's an unknown purpose that many of us never would understand Can you see Through the darkness You travel down this path You travel down this path of the unknown And yet you are afraid You are afraid because you don't understand it

So regardless of darkness.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Regardless of light. You keep your head up high and you keep moving forward. Don't quit. Don't give up on you. Don't give up on the best of you. This is your time through the darkness you rose above it you understood

Starting point is 00:57:39 that you were seeking but it is up to you to continue the journey. You can't stop. The light is within you. Dawn is upon you. It is a beautiful day. It is an amazing day.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Can you see? It's time to rise and shine. It's time to be about that business. It's time to understand that if you want to get something out of your life, you've got to be willing to work for it. I'm talking to the one that wants to go beyond the limit. I'm talking to the one that is willing to work a little bit harder than the next man or the next woman. I'm talking to the one that's been through hell.
Starting point is 00:58:40 I'm talking to the one that really wants to take it to that level that no one has ever been when you step into that room when you step into that environment you got to be hungry enough to eat what is coming your way you cannot be concerned about what can't be done you need to be focused on what must be done if you feel that you are not in the position to do it what can't be done. You need to be focused on what must be done.
Starting point is 00:59:07 If you feel that you are not in the position to do it, then why show up in the first place? You've got to understand that it takes grit, passion and determination to get to the level of where you want to be. But you got to understand the difference between levels
Starting point is 00:59:28 and going beyond them. You can't stay in one place and expect to get to the next place. You can't look at the sky because beyond the sky there's a great big universe. Now what are you going to do about it? Are you prepared to push? Are you prepared to work? Are you prepared to dig?
Starting point is 00:59:52 You got to fight. You got to push. You got to give everything you have. Because I tell you this. Weakness won't save you. All you need is the power, power the strength and the tenacity to give it everything you got have the love for your grit have the love with every rep that you push out and understand it is up to you to get the most of everything that you've worked so hard for. Now you've got to also understand this.
Starting point is 01:00:30 It ain't going to be easy. It's not going to be a walk in the park. There's always more to give. You've got to be willing to sacrifice. You've got to be willing to hurt. You've got to be willing to yell out. Whatever it takes. Keep pushing forward.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Don't you give up on your life. Don't you give up on those reps. Don't you give up on giving it what it takes. To get the most of yourself if you believe in your possibilities then make it work for you if you believe that that weight is too heavy then you won't push it. If you believe that when you run in that mile and you want to give up, you better find another way and push harder than you've ever pushed. Don't get tired. Don't get weak. Find a way. Make a way. Push your body. Push your mind.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Push your soul. And give it everything you got. Because someone else out there may want it a little better than you do. Now if you say what you are, then be what you need to be. If you want to get something out of life, then fight for your life. When you're in that gym, find a way to go beyond that limit. Find a way to push your body. It is your body.
Starting point is 01:02:18 It is yours. You own it. It belongs to you. The time that you have in this world, you only got a short time. Make the time count. Make the moment count. Give it something. Feed that body.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Build that body. Build that mind. Build that soul. And go to work. Because this is the hour. This is the time. This is the time. This is the now, and I want to see you working. I want you to dig.
Starting point is 01:02:52 I want you to feel it. I want you to struggle. I want you to hurt. I want you to bleed. I want you to fight, because this is that time. Show the world, and show up,
Starting point is 01:03:04 and show up and show up and most importantly, do your job and do that business. This goes out to the firefighters who goes through a burning building to help those that can't help themselves. This goes out to the policemen or the police woman who
Starting point is 01:03:49 serves and protect those who don't have the ability to protect themselves. This goes out to all of those men and women who serve both far and near on the front lines. This goes out to our military men and women who give it all. This goes out to those that never made it home. This goes out to the families that will never see their loved ones again. We must never forget those who put it on the line.
Starting point is 01:04:30 We must never forget those who are unselfish and being able to contribute what they contribute each and every day. How can we not recognize them? How can we not recognize them? How can we not recognize what they do? Why does it have to just be one particular day
Starting point is 01:04:53 that we honor them? It should never be a one day thing. Without these people who serve, without these people that give it their all, how can we do what we do? Somebody got to do the job.
Starting point is 01:05:12 They made it up in their minds. They made it up in their minds and in their hearts that this must be done. And they are willing to do what is necessary to get the job done. Think about those kids out there that may not ever see their parents again. Whether if it was the mother or the father who may have lost their lives in the line of duty. Doesn't matter what you believe in.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Doesn't matter how you feel about certain things. Somebody has to be out there. Somebody has to be willing to go through it. Somebody has to be willing to sacrifice. Sometimes these people never come home. This is the time that we must recognize them. We must recognize those families that may never see their loved ones again. Oh yes, oh yes it's true many people put it on the line
Starting point is 01:06:31 many people get out there every day and do something that has never been done before many people out there put it on the line and do something special to help someone else. Why can't we recognize them? No matter where you go, no matter where you may be, someone is out there right now that is doing something far greater and they're putting so much work in to make a difference in this world. Why can't we honor them?
Starting point is 01:07:18 Why can't we honor those servicemen and women? You have to consider the fact there are great doctors, there are great lawyers, there are great teachers, there are great mothers and fathers, there are great people in this world.
Starting point is 01:07:42 We all are responsible for one another. We all are responsible. For one another. We all have a duty. We all have to serve. Whether you wear a uniform or not. You have to serve. Can you be a serviceman?
Starting point is 01:08:11 Can you be a serviceiceman can you be a service woman can you serve are you prepared to serve do you have the ability to serve don't make it about yourself you have a duty you have a responsibility they didn't give up. Why should you keep moving? Keep believing. We are all one. Both far and near, we must serve. So this day, we honor the servicemen and women who put it on the line who've given their all and if they make it home and they have the ability to put their arms around their loved ones job well done
Starting point is 01:09:00 and there will be a new day and that day be a new day and that day starts a new opportunity a new opportunity to make something else special happen thank you for your service thank you for putting it on the line for each day
Starting point is 01:09:29 that you go out to do a job that maybe others will never understand never have the ability to do or even be able to give the time Will never understand. Never have the ability to do. Or even be able to give the time. That you give.
Starting point is 01:09:56 For every man and woman. That serves. You should always be honored and respected. From far and near, you do something that is so great and so special to so many. And sometimes what you do doesn't be recognized enough. There should never just be a special day to honor those that serve. Every day should be a special day.
Starting point is 01:10:37 For you are a special individual. For you give so much and yet only receive so little. This is the time that you must be recognized for the greatest sacrifices that you have given. You must be recognized for your losses, for your struggles,
Starting point is 01:11:04 for the things that you have to endure. That others will never see. Today you will be honored. But not just this day. But every day. For the men and women who serve. For the men and women who give it all, for the men and women that put it on the line, and yet pain and the sacrifices that you have given. The fight always being you.
Starting point is 01:12:00 But this is the time and the moment right now that you must be recognized, that you must understand that you are appreciated. We should never forget those who have fallen. Never forget those who never made it home. Never forget those who would never have the opportunity to sit at the table and break bread with their loved ones. This is that day to recognize those that serve.
Starting point is 01:12:38 Keep up the good fight, everybody. Keep living strong and never forget our servic men and women the end of the year is here and you made it this far. There were good times and there were bad times, but yet you are still here. You made it this far because something kept you going.
Starting point is 01:13:22 Something kept you believing. Something helped you to understand that the fight was not over yet. This is the year that is soon to come to a close. And there will be a new year. And greater opportunities will be waiting for you. But let's get back to 2019. Let's talk a little bit about what you've been through this year. You had to experience some things that you did not understand.
Starting point is 01:14:04 You had to experience some greatness. You had to experience some weaknesses. You had to experience things that no did not understand. You had to experience some greatness. You had to experience some weaknesses. You had to experience things that no one could understand, but you are the one that has to be responsible to go through it. You were put on your back and you probably thought that you didn't have the ability to come back, but you did. Sometimes you may hear people saying that they're getting old. You're never getting old. You're just getting blessed. If you put your right hand on your heart right now, you can feel that blood pumping. You can feel that purpose.
Starting point is 01:14:42 You can feel that reason. You don't have time to be complaining anymore regardless of circumstances regardless of heartaches and pains regardless of the joys regardless of the sorrows you made it you made it because there was purpose there purpose doesn't lie it always always tells the truth you just got to understand that this is the time and as this year comes to a close
Starting point is 01:15:18 2019 soon will be over and you have to recognize that there's going to be a new year for you. A new year that is waiting for you. Now there are no guarantees that tomorrow will be there. There are no guarantees that 2020 will be waiting for you. So make that mark and make that mark right now. Leave the past behind you. Be strong, people. Be strong within yourself, regardless of what you're feeling at this moment
Starting point is 01:15:58 right now, regardless of what people may say about you, be strong. Because you are a unique creation. And you made it this far because something was meant for you. We had to experience great losses in 2019. We had to witness great victories in 2019. This is the beauty of living. This is the beauty of understanding. This is the beauty of knowing
Starting point is 01:16:52 that you matter and the reason that you matter is because you are still here among the living. Now you have to set the new stage. Now you have to set the new mark. Now you have to set the new mark. And be greater than you was yesterday. Realize that you are walking above ground for a reason.
Starting point is 01:17:18 2019 may have had its ups and downs. But you did not stay down. You knew what you had to do to get up. So you got up. Maybe that job didn't come through for you in 2019, but 2020 is waiting for you. And if you're able to live, if you're able to push, if you're able to grow, you're going to grow into a better you. Let this be the opportunity of a lifetime. Don't forget, easy was not intended for you or I.
Starting point is 01:18:04 For without struggle, how can you build true character? So maybe you were in a position that you felt like you were broken. But being broken doesn't mean that you can't put it all together again. You must be the architect of your life. Create your own blueprint. Set yourself up. And regardless if you fail or if you succeed, but don't give up because if you made it this far, you can definitely go a little bit further.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Make 2020 your year. Make 2020 be the year that they remember you. That you remember your accomplishments as well as your failures. But don't you ever, ever give up on you. This year
Starting point is 01:19:02 is coming to an end. And 2020 is right around the corner. Make sure that you are ready. Make sure that you are prepared. Because 2020 has not been written yet. Just like a book. There are many chapters in a book. What chapter.
Starting point is 01:19:30 Will tell the story about you. What history will you make. What would you leave behind. What legacy. Would you leave behind. 2020. Is the year that we begin a new chapter a new day a new year a new you now i'm not talking about just the physicality. I'm talking about the mental, the physical, as well as the spiritual. For they are one. They are all connected.
Starting point is 01:20:16 But you have to be connected. With your self-resilience. You have to be connected. With your ideas. You have to be connected. With your ideas. You have to be connected. With your truth. Don't get disconnected. From being who you are.
Starting point is 01:20:38 Don't go through 2020. Trying to prove something to others. That don't believe in you. Whatever happened in the past, let it be. If 2020 is waiting for you, if it's promised
Starting point is 01:20:56 to you, make sure you go through 2020 with your head up high and be the best. Because 2020 will be the year that you will be able to understand. It's just another year for you to be better than you was last year. So make 2020 your year and let the rest take care of itself
Starting point is 01:21:28 life is so short life only has only a little time although it will continue to go on. You cannot hold on. And think that every day. Is promised to you.
Starting point is 01:21:58 We have all. Experienced. Great losses in our life. We have all felt that pain of losing a loved one. Someone that we cared about. But yet we're still here. And now we must go on.
Starting point is 01:22:22 But what is the example that we're going to leave? What kind of leadership and what kind of leadership qualities do we have? How do we go on? How do we lead the next generation? being afraid to be truthful to who you are will only limit who you truly are inside don't let anyone take that away from you don't let anyone take away
Starting point is 01:23:01 who you are how true you are and what you matter in this world to so many other people. Don't be afraid to be honest. Don't be afraid to be truthful. Don't be afraid to be different. Even being different can be difficult to a lot of people.
Starting point is 01:23:29 But I guarantee you this. There's nobody in the world. That can do you. When the time comes, what would you leave behind? What legacy will be left behind to remind others
Starting point is 01:24:02 of your greatness, of your greatness, of your losses, of your victories, of your sorrows. This is a short life that we all have. And it's not easy. It's not easy living it every day.
Starting point is 01:24:32 It's not easy to go through so many different circumstances, so many different challenges. It's not easy getting that pink slip knowing that this may be your last day on your job it's not easy
Starting point is 01:24:54 knowing that you may lose your home because you got laid off your job this type of pain and these different circumstances, many people are always going to come back and say, well, that's life. It is not life that makes these challenges what they are today. It is the purpose and purpose never lies. It will always tell you the truth. But while you exist in this world right now, I need you to hold on. I need you to hold on strong and don't give up. I need you to believe in every possibility that you have and understand that it is not over for you. I need you to understand life is always going to be good.
Starting point is 01:26:07 But always keep in mind, sooner or later, we all got to punch that clock. So carry on. And don't give up. And don't give in. And don't give in. And do the best that you can. To have the right attitude. To make your existence matter. Your existence. your existence is not by accident
Starting point is 01:26:51 your existence has so much meaning are you ready to take on the unknown are you prepared for it? You can't even understand, in most cases, how beautiful it is sometimes to not even know what's coming your way. Sometimes it's not necessary to know everything. Sometimes it's not necessary to know everything. Sometimes it's not necessary to understand everything. But are you ready?
Starting point is 01:27:35 Are you ready to embrace the fact that someday, life as you know it, life as I know it life as I know it will soon come to an end now what are you going to do about what you're doing with the life that you have right now
Starting point is 01:27:57 see I talk about life because life is such a great thing life is such a great thing. Life is such a beautiful thing. Life has so much university to it. It is unexplained to some people. It is unimaginable to some people. Sometimes you may even ask yourself, I don't even deserve this life. Sometimes you may even ask yourself, why am I suffering so much from this? And that person over there is not suffering as much as I am. Ladies and gentlemen, life, your existence, it's temporary.
Starting point is 01:28:45 It won't last forever. And if you're sitting around wasting it, if you're sitting around being hateful, if you're sitting around being jealous, if you're letting things outside of your circle control your possibilities, your uniqueness, your qualities, your principles, who you really are inside, then what's going to happen next?
Starting point is 01:29:18 There will come a time when you leave this world and they're going to put you in that hole. And guess what, ladies and gentlemen? No one is going to jump in that hole with you no one is going to jump in there with you and celebrate that death that you just experienced yes I know it may sound a little harsh in fact it may even scare you but you can't fake this
Starting point is 01:29:44 you can't fake this. You can't hide from this. Life is short. And the only thing that's beautiful about it is that when you're living you have strong possibilities. You have something that you can be doing
Starting point is 01:30:00 to make it impactful for others to see. You can't stop. You can't stop living. You can't stop growing. You can't stop fighting. You have to understand that yesterday and today and tomorrow are in three different universes.
Starting point is 01:30:33 And the only universe you exist in right now is the now, is this moment, is this reality. You can't fix anything that's already been broken. Some things can mend in time. And some things are better off left alone. There are a lot of negative people right now that exist in this world. And there are people that are going to watch this video. There are people that are watching this video right now.
Starting point is 01:31:18 There are people that are listening to this message right now. And yet, they'll still find something that is not making them happy. You must make peace within your heart. You must make peace within your spirit. Life is so short. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. you
