Hello listeners. Motivosity is excited to share that we have launched a new podcast called Morning Motivation by Motivorey. If you are looking to start your day with positivity and the most uplifting motivational audio, this is the show for you. For today's episode of Motivation Daily by Motivority Podcast, we are sharing a recent episode from the Morning Motivation Podcast. If you like it, go follow the show.

New episodes are being released every week. The link is in the description. Where have you been up to this point? You look at your life. You look at what you produce. Is it giving you what you want? Are you living on purpose? Are you living your dream?

Are you acting on your ideas? Are you doing all you can do? Have you gotten comfortable? Are you procrastinating? Are you invading your own greatness? Are you surrounding yourself with people that can ennourge you? Are you challenging yourself? Are you experimenting?

Are you learning something different? Is your life an adventure or is it boring? Where have you been? When you're pursuing your greatness, you live from a place of the willingness to live life courageously, to be willing to take chances, to become a risk taker,

to make impact, to go beyond believing, to knowing, to lean not into your own understanding, to feel within yourself, there's some cause as something that's bigger than me, but I'm never alone in facing this. See, we don't have the courage, and that's what it takes courage, it takes guts to do that what you know you need to do. If you don't have the courage to act, life many times will move on you, and not make you act. Life will whip your butt so bad. You will be so miserable, you will catch so much hell. You say, yes, I will do it. What do you want me to do? Take me. You've got some idea, some dream that you might have to go back and brush it off and look at it again and say,

I've got to do this. This is my stuff. This is what I'm supposed to do. This is why I showed up. Where are you going with your life? What decision? are you making right now, as you look into the future, it's necessary that you get outside of your comfort zone. It's necessary that you develop some new relationship where you can learn from people. It's necessary that you do reading, that you do research. It's necessary if you're already involved in some business that you don't be satisfied with where you are. You want to make you today? It's necessary for you to constantly look at ways of getting better. Not all is it possible for you to have your dream. And it's necessary for you to challenge yourself to go after

get better and leverage the relationships that can help you get to where you want to go. But it's you. The major key to your reaching your dream, you're living up to your greatness, you're making your contribution, is you. Live your life like you're the hero in your movie. And right now, pretend you're in the part of the movie that starts and it shows you as a loser. If I got a fight to get you in the gym, that's a problem. I'm just saying, for real, some of you broke and you still entertained.

I'm talking about those of you are complaining about your job. You ain't got no money and you sitting here complaining about, but then you're watching all the TV programs. I'm never going to feel like doing the things that are tough or difficult or uncertain or scary or new, so I need to stop waiting until I feel like it. We all have a habit of hesitating. The idea isn't going to execute itself. And the book isn't going to write itself. and the weights out in the gym,

they're not going to move themselves. You have to do it, and you have to do it now. But there's a motherfucker who wants it you have? Who wants the position you are? Who wants the job you have? Who wants the wife that you have? Or the husband?

There's someone out that you're hungry. It wants everything you can have. But if you're lazy, man, I don't want to talk to you. I want to deal with you. You're going to make me feel dumber. You know, you're going to lower my level. I don't think so. The reason why you're so lazy is not because you don't have the ability.

You're so lazy because your dream's so small. I believe in myself every day. I know I make mistakes. I know I'm not perfect. But I am not lazy. You can keep sleeping. I'm going to keep working. They say things like, I'll start Monday.

It's not my fault. It's not fair. I'm too damn tired. Or my personal favorite, I don't have enough time. They have a loser mentality through and through. And until they recognize that the problem is them, they'll never improve. I know many talented people who had a great deal of potential, but they never realized their greatness,

and they will end up going to their grave with all the good stuff still in it. You will be tested, and how you face that test, and how you overcome that test, determine the rest of your life. You've got to have something that is inside you, something that fires you up, Something that drives you, something that gives you more power than you've ever had in your life. Your life comes down to your decisions, and if you change your decisions, you will change everything. The best of the best, they don't sleep. They keep working.

What are you going to do? Where do I start? And when's the best time to start? I have very supportive of life. And now. Wake up every single day thinking about how can I change my life. How can I stand on the stage with the Giants? I realize that everything I ever dreamed of lives in the sky and I must jump every single day

to go reclaim what's mine. And that's right. As long as you believe in that very gift that you have in the bottom of your stomach, that fire that burns, that dream that wakes you up in the middle of the night and have you screaming to the sun rise so I can go after this dream.

dream. That is the very thing that you should taste every single day. Life today, Kings and Queens, that we will not be ordinary. We will be great. You have an everlasting potential, and as long as you have a heartbeat, as long as you have entering your lungs, you have an opportunity to change this world, change your life, and live your dream today. We will be... When you wake up early, it's just you. The world can wait. wait, right? Emails can wait. Text messages can wait. The boardroom can wait. The playing field

can wait. The court can wait. Everything can wait. And I can get dialed in with what I've been called to do. I can get dialed in with why I'm here. What is my purpose without any outside influences or stimuli? I don't need coffee. right now. I don't need alcohol. I don't need an outside stimuli to get by day jump started. I just need to get up and get dialed in. We want to be successful, but we don't want to get dialed in on a morning routine.

It's unbelievable to me how much we want success, but we don't want structure. Put away the devices, put away the distractions, put away the outside stimuli and the influences and all of the voices and get dialed in. listening to me. Let this be a moment of transformation and motivation, but let this moment not just move you, but change you to take action. Why am I here? What have I been placed on this earth to do? All of a sudden, when I wake up in the world asleep, I get a different perspective. I can get my agenda, my targets, and my aims crystallized in my head. And whatever becomes clear in my head, yo, I can hold in my head, period.

All of us has this power within us, this force of nature that we have not tapped into. There's another level. Life is lived on levels, and these levels are unlocked by taking action. My question to you is, will you take action and do something out of your paradigm? If you're going to obliterate programs and patterns, then you've got to do something different. Shake it up, wake up early, man. Get up. It's time for an identity shift.

It's time for elevation in your relationships and in your health and in your mindset and in your approaches and in your strategies. It's time to get into this space of innovation. It's your time. It's your turn. The weight is over. Get up and give back to yourself.

If you listen to me, get up, get up, get up, get up. It's time to go. Most people don't feel like waking up at three o'clock in the morning. Do it because you don't feel like doing it. You need to be the person that does it, even if they don't feel it, but they do it because they're called to. Everybody wants to unleash greatness within them,

and everybody wants to be their best selves. When you're going to have to do stuff you don't feel like doing in order to get there. And so if we want to step into this transformative experience, then I need to have a competitive advantage over the competition. where you say, man, I'm in competition with nobody, just me. And I get that and I've said that. But the truth of the matter is, is if you don't do something the other man is not doing, then you're going to get knocked off.

If you want longevity, if you want sustainability, if you want to scale, if you want peak performance, if you're going to do something in your bloodline, if you're going to pass something down generationally, If you're going to be a light, if you're going to do something that's never been done, then sometimes you're going to have to get up when you don't feel like it. If we're going to unleash this untapped potential, then I have to do something that's going to break the current paradigms that I've been living under. I got to do something that's going to obliterate the status quo. What you're going to discover about waking up at a certain time, specifically at a time you don't feel like it, that after a while, you will love it.

Once you get that itch, once you smell that potential, all of a sudden the world opens up to you, and 3 a.m., 4 a.m. is no longer a burden. It's just what you do. And you don't even need an alarm clock to go off because your passion awakens you. Your passion, you can go three, four hours of sleep, and you're ready to go again.

Because something inside of you is safe. I got to achieve something. You got work to do. So make that decision that there's no turning back. And so we want to become unstoppable. We want to be resilient. But we don't want to do what's impossible for most people. For most people, 3 a.m. is just like it's impossible in their mind.

They don't even think about it. It's something that's just not going to do. They're going to get up at 7, 8, 9, 10. chin. And so you've got to do what's impossible for most people in order to be that unstoppable force of nature. And I am an advocate for rest. Don't get me wrong. We've got to get rest. We need to sleep. I understand that. But there are seasons and timetables. And there are rooms I've got to walk into and there are hands that I have to shake. And there are contracts that I have to sign. And there are deals that I have to close that are going to require me to lose sleep sometimes.

And so if I believe in the power of the future, then I got to be willing to get up. Through, do something you've never done. Start your day at a time where it is a sacrifice until it becomes an obsession. I get up early when the competition is sleeping. I get a competitive advantage in the marketplace. I get peace and quiet and some solitude where I can Focus on me. I can condition myself. I can prepare myself. I can accomplish more by getting up earlier. When people are sleeping and I am working by the time they wake up, bam, I'm already done. I'm done. I'm in a flow state. I can break out of the monotony. I can break out of the mundane. I can snap out of autopilot and step into that powerful driving force that is within me to help me unleash my untapped potential. Period.

Waking up early gets me in touch with myself. It gets me in tune. It gets me in motion. It gets me in flow. Where I can perform my best. And I can get hyper-focused on what matters most. And I can eliminate distractions. And everything that was hindering me all of a sudden,

wham, I hit a state of elevation. Everything that was toxic. Everything that was not for me. Everything that was not life-giving. I can get very clear on the future. It is time for transformation. It is time to unlock resilience and ignite energy and vitality. It's going to increase productivity.

It's going to shift your identity. And it's going to unlock the dimension of unstoppable momentum. If you want this, then try for one week. You've got to have care to have passion. And you hear people say all the time, I don't care. If that's you, you don't have passion. You got to care, okay?

You got to care if we want to lose. You got to care if we come in last place. You got to care if I won a championship, I'm going to be pissed off. You got to care if you get divorced. You got to care if you file bankruptcy. You got to care if you don't get the 3.10 GPA you're shooting for. You're feeling your goals. You feel in your blank.

You're feeling your dreams. You're feeling your goals. At the end of the day, let me tell you something, champ. You gotta care. Because if you don't care, guess what? It ain't going to happen. If you don't care, guess what?

You ain't going to grind. If you don't care, guess what? You're going to quit when it's getting tough. If you don't care, you're going to throw in the time. So I'm here to tell you. The first thing we have to do is get you to care about your future, get you to care about your goals, get you to care about succeeding,

and get you to care about failing. Let me tell you something. If you go into a jungle, there's two people who care. That lion, that gazelle, that gazelle wants to live another day. And that lion wants to eat so he can live another day. And let me tell you who's going to win that battle. The one who cares the most. Because that lion knows, if I give all my energy after this gazelle,

and if I miss the gazelle, if I don't catch the gazelle, I've exerted all this energy and I don't get to eat I gotta waste another day to eat I'm in trouble because I won't have the same strength tomorrow I won't have the same focus tomorrow I don't have the same drive tomorrow

I won't have the same energy tomorrow so I've got to care enough that I see this opportunity I see that Gizel coming by I gotta get it on the other end that Gizel is like man if I could elude this lion

I can live another day. If I can elude this lion, I can get home to my family. If I can allude this lion, I can get home to my baby. If I can elude this lion, I can get my family out of projects. If I can lose this lion, we can get off welfare. If I can elude this lion, I can get out of bankruptcy. If I can elude this lion, just one more day, maybe I can get off drugs. If I can just allude this lion, even in the jungle, the lion in the gazette. The lion in the gazette, just one more day. The one who's going to win. The one who cares you most.

But I don't care where you are left. I don't care what your lot is. I don't care what your mama is. I don't care what your daddy is. I don't care what they did. I don't care how they are. I don't care your background. I don't care what house he is.

I don't care what neighbor you from. I don't care what size of the track that you're on. All I'm telling you right now is that until you care, can't get to A. Inside your company, who cares the most? Inside your division, who cares the most? Inside your family, who cares the most? Care, man.

If that lion is hungry enough, and if he care enough, he's going to get that gazelle. But if that gazelle is fast enough and elusive enough, that gazelle going to get away. When you wake up in the morning,

Every day, you got a kid. And you got to live your life like you are lying. You got to live your life like you are that gazelle. What are you doing with your mind? What are you doing with your mentality? What are you doing with your mindset that's going to position you to make sure that when this is over, you benefit from this break? I'm stuck in the house.

Just like you. Now I'm wearing mask. Just like you. Now I'm wearing gloves. Just like you. I'm checking on my 96-year-old grandmother, just like you. I'm checking on my 80-year-old mother, just like you. I'm making sure my kids are being smart and watching my hands just like you.

But because I'm home, that means I don't care anymore. Because I'm home don't mean my purpose goes away. Because I'm home, I can't talk into a microphone, so I talk into a phone, I'm talking to a computer, I talk it to software, I talk into Facebook, I'm talking to Instagram, and tonight I'm talking to Twitter. You already know, because I can't. Now, I can ask you a question, what is it about your future that you need to do to get to where you want to be? And once you understand that, you got to put yourself in a mindset that you want to disappoint you. You don't want to disappoint you. You don't want to disappoint you. you because if you're okay disappointing you, it's almost impossible to get better. What's that one thing that's holding you back from your next level? And once you understand what that one thing is, now you're halfway there. Now we can figure out, okay, if we can improve this one thing and get 10% better every year, in five years, we only recognize your business.

We won't recognize you. You won't recognize you. Why? Because you got exponentially better. And that's important to me because I'm part of my purpose. And the reason I'm on this earth to help you get better. You can't afford to stay the same. Wherever you want to be in life, just got to care enough, man.

When that setback comes, so? When that hater shows up. So? When that rejection shows up. When that setback shows up. So, when that doubt shows up. So? When that sorinth shows up, so? It don't matter. You gotta want it bad enough. I've had my teeth knocked out. I got screws in my feet. Let me tell you something. It don't matter. Why? Why? When I got inducting to the Hall of Fame for motivational speakers, I was sitting at a table when a young lady came up to me. She says, wow, Walter, you're going into the Hall of Fame. That is so cool. Aren't you excited?

I said, yeah, I'm excited. She said you don't act like it. But you know what I told? After getting cut out the NBA, you know what I told? After making minimum in the NBA, you know what I told? After cramined in my wife's arms, after I got cut out the NBA, you know what I told? For the first time in my life, I expected to be here. For the first time in my life, I shot for the A and I got it. For the first time in my life, I went for the throat and I got it. For the first time in my life, I went to be number one and I got it.

For the first time in my life, I wasn't happy with getting a C anymore. For the first time in my life, I made up my mind to be an A student, and I expected to be an A student. And guess what, I got the A. I talk to people in Australian, in London, and Cyprus and Africa, all over the world, because I just wanted to get the A because I cared enough. For the first time in my life, I didn't talk myself out of it. For the first time in my life, I wouldn't happen being average. For the first time in my life, I made up my mind that I'm going to be an eight student no matter what.

I've been motivating people for 19 years. I'm a hall of the same speaker, which means I'm good at what I do. But the only reason I'm good at what I do, watch this, because I care. Judge a person not by what they accomplished, but what they had to overcome for their accomplishment. People that are hungry have zero excuses for not pursuing them. their dreams. And they come back again and again and again. They operate like Willie Jolly who said that a setback is a set up for a comeback. I've got a saying that life knocks you down, try and land on your back because if you can look up, you can get up. You can get up. I'm training

people to get into their greatness, to begin to develop the courage to pursue dreams beyond their comfort zones. Because in order to do something you've never done, you've got to become someone you've never been. When you're pursuing your greatness, you don't know what your limits are, so you act like you don't have any. There's never a shortage of opportunities. It's just a shortage of thinking, because some things are taught and some things are caught. When I was in the fifth grade, they put me back from the fifth grade into the fourth grade. I failed again in the eighth grade. I have no college training. So being identified and labeled as DT, the dumb twin, it gave you me a lot of things to overcome. And so there was no one to dispute what was said about me and

I bought it. Even if you were told a lie, faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing and you hear it often enough. It becomes your reality. Perception not challenge becomes real for you. Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. So if you can track failure, you can also attract success. You have greatness in you. I don't know you. But here's what I know based upon my own experience. You have greatness in you, that you have the ability to do more than you can 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 God you will ever have or hear. And if you cannot hear it, all of your life will be spent

on the ends of strains that somebody else pulls. When you recognize your greatness, know, No one will ever pull your strains. You are different. You were created on purpose with a purpose to manifest that purpose through you. You will never exercise authority and dominion over your life until you exercise authority and dominion over what you are not. Most people go through life living the lie that has been told about them. There's something in you that's greater than your circumstances.

Is there something in you that's greater than the adversities that you're facing? In life, you either end a problem, just left one or headed toward one. You have greatness in you. Every day that you wake up, remember someone else did not. You are alive for a reason. Are you here? This is your day. You've got a window.

You've got another 24 hours. Because you may not make it to tomorrow. And I'm just wondering what you're going to do with the day. The reason why days often feel meaningless and mundane is because we are directionless. You've got to get some direction. I'm just wondering what are you going to do in this next 24 hours that you did not do. I'm just wondering if you're going to level up two millimeters more than you did yesterday. Are you going to get better?

Are you going to get stronger? Are you going to get wiser? Are you going to see this thing differently? I'm just wondering, when are you going to see the power of 24 hours? That you did not have to wake up. That God did not have to give you another opportunity to be here. Another opportunity to forgive somebody. Another opportunity to let it go.

Another opportunity to look up and get up. I'm just wondering when are you going to seize the opportunity. Accept where you are. Get cognizant about your money. Get cognizant about your relationships. Where are you mentally? Where are you spiritually and emotionally and financially and financially and economically? Are you driving what you are destined to drive?

Where's your health? Where's your heart? Let's get aware of where we are. This is my day to read a new book. This is my day to start a journey. This is my day to make an investment. This is my day to invest in myself. This is my day and this is my time and it's my turn to crush this day.

This is the day I learn like I never have. This is the day I invest like I never have. This is the day I take it seriously. I've got one window. I may not be here tomorrow. I'm just wondering if you're going to rise and see the opportunity. Get up. Get up.

Get up. You've got a day to conquer. You have to understand if you don't execute on the plan, if you don't get up in the morning when you're feeling tired, scared. If you don't execute, you're not just cheating yourself. You're cheating your family. You're cheating your employees. You're cheating your team. Whatever you're a part of.

It's bigger than you, man. Hard to work, work, show. See, some of you have dreams and goals. But hard work, you can't get around it. I wish there was a magic wand that I could wave that your passion, your dream, that thing you want. to achieve it could just happen but it can't hard work is required what do you do when a thousand other people want exactly what you want what you want what if you're not the only one that wants what you want what there are thousands of other people

who want what you want you have to outwork them you got outbind them you've got to get up earlier you've got to stay up later you've got to execute and you've got to go I think a lot of people feel this enormous pressure to achieve this millionaire, billionaire status somewhere in your 20s, 30s, 40s is very difficult. It is for very few and far between. I hope everyone understands. If you put in 18 hours a day every day of your life

and you suck, you lost. You know why I'm sitting here right now? Because I outworked you. Zoom in. I outworked you. Before I ever stood on a stage, I clean one at an old Baptist church. When everybody left, I stayed documented.

when nobody was there. That's how I got the microphone. I didn't get a microphone because I can talk the best. I didn't get a microphone because I can sing the best. I got a microphone because the servant got elevated me everywhere of my life. So we all think that we pray on it. If you do this, if we do that, whatever. We don't work.

Whatever is it's going to magically happen for us. No. I believe that when I'm all said and done with, my whole job is to outwork the chart. Gotta keep putting in the work. day. One is better in zero. You've got to keep putting in the work, putting in the work, putting in work. The hard work matters and the matrix is what overrides it. You got to work. What happens if you wake up 30 days later and you're there? What happens if

you wake up 60 days later and the change is coming? You know what's going to happen? You're going to wake up 60 days later, 90 days later, and everything's going to change but you. And you're going to get the same results you got before it happened because you're the exact same person. So work, work while you wait. You cannot Stop. We all have greatness. It just, you got to find the courage. You got to find the courage to put your bow's headphones on and silence the noise out of this world and to find it. And to find it because it's out there, but it's going to take hard work, courage, self-discipline. It's going to take all the non-cognitive skills, all the non-cognitive skills to be great. You know, smart is good,

all this stuff is good, that's all cognitive. It's the non-cognitive skills that sets you apart from everybody else. And that's what it's all about. In order to achieve greatness, you must first believe you can. What's the biggest challenge that most of these individuals have?

What's the common challenge? Believe. They don't believe, man. You know, it's all mental, and people don't get it. And everybody wants to say, okay, well, here go 10 steps to, okay, Lewis said, do eight, E.T. do nine you know this person says this the 12 steps and everybody's trying to get the steps without the mentality you got this I believe in you when somebody says no matter

what happens whether it succeeds or fails I'm gonna be by your side that's when I have the confidence to do difficult things wow so it's the people in my life you should recognize the potential in yourself and love yourself enough to make the changes that produce the best possible version of yourself or how do you overcome self-doubt. How do you overcome self-doubt? Help someone else overcome self-doubt. I love that. I love that. You overcome self-doubt by helping. Like, and it's not a selfish thing. I'm only helping you so I can. You have to genuinely love and commit to the person. So it's not the car, the house, or whatever. It is that internal goal, that internal why. And so for me,

I just think that's it. Like that, like you, ah, it's just, it's something within and you got to pull it out. And so it's easy when you have a why, a purpose. I'm doing it for this. I'm doing it for that it's easy to get up and get going but if it's just for a car what happens when you get the car because you can buy it what happens when you get the house and you can buy the house the only reason you're not the best right now because you don't believe you the best now you can learn all the techniques in the world if you don't believe in yourself it won't happen for you you have got to stand up to that voice you've got to sell yourself every day on your abilities on what you're doing on the goal that you want to

reach. You've got to sell yourself every day, every day, every day. According to your level of belief, it will manifest itself in what you're doing. Whatever we have right now, whatever we're demonstrating in our lives, is a result of what we believe subconsciously that we deserve. And part of increasing that belief level is that you have got to convince yourself every day. I think I'm the best thing since sliced bread. If you can't do it, you scratch, claw, and even die trying. Now, I don't know what your goal is, but I want you to visualize it right now. And repeat out to me with power and conviction.

Let us say together, it's possible. Together, please. Say it possible. Say it possible. See, that's the first step. I want you to think about this goal that you want. I want you to envision it and see it in your mind's eye. And every day, say to yourself that it's possible.

See, most people are not accumulating wealth. Most people are living in poverty. Most people are living far below their potential. Not because they don't have the capacity. Not because they have not been given authority and dominion over everything on the face of the earth. But most people are living like they're living because of the fact that they don't believe

they can have any more than what they now have. Listen to me very clearly. Every A is not an A. I don't care how much you can jump on Google and get the answer and get your report card or your grade sheet or your teachers or your school to think that you're getting the A. If you're cutting corners, if you're taking shortcuts, every A is not an A. You're not robbing anybody else but you. So I need you to work while you wait. I need you to work with work on your focus perspective.

I need you to see difficult differently. Are you here what I'm telling you? I need you to see it differently. You know, five steps to greatness. No, it ain't that, brother. You read my book, this is hard work, it's every day. There's so many people who want to leave that can't follow. I'm saying it's because everybody wants to get to the top.

If you're trying to get on top, I need you to be work. The level you're on right now. Yeah. Can you clean bathrooms? Can you sing for the kids? Maybe singing for the kids might be the thing that gets the whole world

knowing your name but because you take it small and insignificant you won't even do it just keep working if you were told you were going to get that promotion just keep working

if you were told you were going to win that championship just keep working nobody said it would be easy again if it was easy everybody would do it so I need you to work on your faith I need you to work on your faith

I need you to wake up every day It's like today and today is today, but my day coming. And I will not give up, and I will not give in until I get to that day. I will not stop. I will not give up. I will not give in until my day comes. You have enough right now to flip this world upside down. You have enough.

You got enough power. You got enough anointing. You got enough grace. You got enough patience. You got enough gifting to make your money. Get out of debt. Get yourself together. change everything about your world.

For the things that I'm wanting and believing, I just have to do everything possible that's within my power. And there's some things that aren't within my power. And that's where I trust God. But what is it within my power? It's rather it's getting the proper sleep, whether it's learning your lines, whether it's researching the character, whether it's working out or eating healthy or, you know, whatever it is that you need that's going to make you better at what you want to do.

It's doing every single bit of that you can possibly do. and going above, you know, not just doing just enough to get by, but going above. And then after that, it's like, if it's supposed to happen, it will happen. And chances are if you do the work, it likely will happen. It's about whatever you think you are, you have to make that dream a reality. But that's where the hard part is, is making that dream reality. That's where the hard work comes. That's where people know how do you keep grinding every day.

You have to make those insecurities, those fears, Like when I was 300 pounds, I didn't have any drive. I'm going to go be a Navy SEAL. What kind of stupid shit is that, 300 pounds? It wasn't like a drive to go be a Navy SEAL. I was an insecure, lying kid, afraid. I had to look in my insecurities and in my fear and find drive and that. We're all looking for passion.

Passion is all around you. You have a whole stack of it all around you. It's your insecurities. It's all in there. All the energy and fuel. you need is right in yourself. It's all there. You got a lot of stuff to do to overcome. And, you know, that's where I found it. I found it right there in my own insecurities. I found drive in my own insecurities. And that's the most powerful thing in the world. When you can find drive in your own

doubt, fear, insecurities, you become very unstoppable. I need you to work on yourself. Are you hearing me? look, you can't change what you can't change. Stop trying to change the situation. It's not yours to change. Stop trying to change your wife. Stop trying to change your husband. Stop trying to change your kids. Stop trying to change your boss.

Stop trying to change the program. If you can change it, it would be changed. There's only one person you can change, baby. And that person is you. Work on yourself. You are feeling down. If you are feeling, I'm motivated. You have to rewrite the story you've been telling yourself so that you can step into a new level of abundance to say it until you feel it.

You've got to say, I will rise until you literally see yourself rising above all the doubt, all the worry and all the stress you've been under. The time is now. Redemption is at hand. What do you do? Do you stand and fight? Do you sit and wait? Or do you become a warrior? Not too many people are ready.

Not too many people are built for it. But you must take that stand. I am strong. I am ready. And I will dedicate myself. Because I have been redeemed. So stop saying it's too hard. Stop saying you don't know what to do.

It's time to change your inner conversations. It's time for you to go back and get everything that was taken from you. It's time to go back and recover your losses. It's time for you to rise up. It's time for you to get up. It's time for you to go higher, go faster, test your limits. I will not give up. I will not quit.

I will live this life through all of the heartaches and pains. And I will continue on until my last breath. Better than I was yesterday. I am the best of myself, not the worst. Nothing will hold me back. If it did not create me, it will never break me and redeem. And this is a moment of redemption. You are chosen for this moment.

Let's go. When you're pursuing your greatness, You live from a place of the willingness to live life courageously, to be willing to take chances, to become a risk taker, to make impact, to go beyond believing, to knowing, to lean not into your own understanding, to feel within yourself. There's some cause. There's something that's bigger than me, but I'm never alone in facing this.

There's a presence that will never leave me nor forsake me. And that when you step into that place, more of thee, less of me, that there's a place where we can go within ourselves. There are things that we can accomplish, things that we can do, that eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor is in an heart of mankind. what God has in store for us. When we surrender, life to me, when you're pursuing your greatness, you find something that you love, that you surrender to that.

That something gives you life and that you turn yourself over to that and allow yourself to be used in my life. When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I was pondering about my life, am I going to beat this? And I was reading his words for comfort. And he said, the ideal situation for a man, a woman to die is have family members praying with them as they cross over. But imagine being on your deathbed and standing around your bed the ghost of the dreams, the ideas, the abilities given to you by life, but you for whatever reason, you never pursued those dreams. You never acted on those ideas.

You never used those gifts. and there they are looking at you with large angry eyes saying, we came to you, and only you could have given us life. And now we must die with you forever. The question is, if you die today, what dreams, what ideas, what gifts will die with you? As I face inevitable death, what in the meaning and purpose of my life that will not be undone or destroyed? when I'm gone. My goal now, we learn, we earn, we pass it on.

We should be ashamed to die until we've made some major contribution to humankind. I think it's important that people find something that gives their life a sense of meaning and value that drives them, that becomes their magnificent obsession. Because we live in a world where we're told more about our limitations rather than our potential, We go to our graves, never knowing who we really are. How do we develop a sense of belief? What I'm hearing you say is belief is one of the most important things we can have with ourselves.

It's an ongoing process. I encourage people to read at a minimum of 30 to 40 pages of something positive every day to program your mind. And all of us can do that. We can go to the library and check out books. When I think about Alk Mandino, who wrote the greatest salesman in the world, he was on verge of committing suicide. Went to the library, read the book, Think and Grow Rich, and his life turned around. Your mindset, your diet, and positive relationships, giving yourself a healing,

nurturing environment, strengthens your immune system, and allows you to stay here longer and do your great work. So you have to program yourself or your mind will be programmed. In order to do something you've never done, you've got to become someone you've never been. You've been. You've better become a risk taker. This God said, if you're not willing to risk, you can't grow. And if you can't grow, you can't become your best. And if you can't become your best, you can't be happy. And if you can't be happy, then what else is there? When you find something that you love, you will study it, something that you love that becomes not just confident, but you will become competent on that. I pour myself into it. I lose myself into it because it's not about me. It's

about the audience. Ask for help, not because you're weak, but because you want to remain strong and don't stop until you get it. I tell people you're going to face tough times, but I affirm no matter how bad it is or how bad it is, I'm going to make it. You don't get in life what you want, you get in life what you are. Develop your communication skills because once you open your mouth, you tell the world who you are. It's a live a life of controversy. decide that you are going to live your life in such a way as Harzman said you should be ashamed to die until you made some major contribution to human kind. And I want to find other people who have that kind of magnificent obsession, who have that kind of conviction about their lives, who want

to make that kind of mob of their lives. Can I, with the time that I have left, amplify and train and multiply voices of hope and create a better world. And we all have an exploration date. So live your life from a place of love. My life, I have experienced

so many setbacks, so many losses. I have been angry. I have cried at night. I even felt sorry for myself. I'm going to be great at something. What good am I if everything that I come in front of breaks me down to where I can't carry myself anymore? You got to be willing to go through the pain, to go through the struggle, to know that your existence matters. You have something that is inside of you right now that you possess, that must be awakened, that must have the fire to rise again, to push again, to wake up again.

I'm not a victim. I'm an overcomer. You see, crossing the finish line wasn't easy, but redemption feels. so good. You see, when you step into a season of redemption, you begin to experience breakthrough, after breakthrough, after breakthrough, and you are compensated for all of the pain and the discomfort that you've had to endure. We all face unforeseen battles, and sometimes these battles. are not meant for us to win at that time. But that does not mean that you stop living.

That doesn't mean that you give up now. You've been through hell. You've been through pain. You've been through disappointment. You've been overlooked and misunderstood. But that's all behind you. It's time for you to get everything you've ever wanted and more. Are you willing to show up like you've never shown up before?

It's time for you to shine. Your day of redemption is here. It will never be an easy day. But it's a day for redemption. It's a day to be able to lift your head up and say, I am here. I am strong. I am willing. I'm not done yet.

It's been a long time coming. But I'm back. I'm back. I'm stronger. I am willing and I'm ready to fight. I might be wounded, but I will not be defeated. In spite of everything that I've been up against, I will rise. This is a time for redemption. Reedem yourself. Get back in the fight again. The greater the challenge, the greater the reward. Focus on the opportunities that are available to you.

Yes, things have happened in your life. Yes, not getting the outcome you expected hurts. Yes, you have been beaten a few times in your life. But being beaten doesn't mean that you're done. Yes, having to pick yourself up after being knocked down is hard. But those are just temporary moments. Those are temporary moments that you will get through and bounce back from. You got to turn it up and you've got to turn it up right now.

In this very moment, you have the power to shift your energy. You have the power to shift your thoughts. You have the power to shift your results. You must be willing to stand up, to fight as hard as you can, to understand within yourself that purpose must be fulfilled within you. Redemption is at hand. You have more power than you realize it's all. All up to you.

Will rise. No, you have to say it like you mean it. Will. If today's going to be good, I got to heal from the mistakes that were made yesterday. I've got to believe that I don't have to make the same mistakes. It's time to heal. Today I heal. Today I heal from every mistake that is made.

Today I heal from everything that I said that I could have said better and everything that was said to me that I wish was never said. I heal today from the people that pushed me verbally but did not support me physically that were never present. Today I heal, I heal, I heal from what I did not have. I heal from what I did have that I did not want. Today I heal. After we heal, we have to acknowledge what went wrong. What could I have done differently? What boundaries did I allow to be breached?

relationally financially with my investments with my mindset where did I put my energy and I didn't get anything back in return it's like investing in a vending machine with a sign on it that says out of order and I'm convinced that many of us invest in people and places that are just simply out of order and this is why we're trained and this is why we're tired and this is why we're weary and well-doing. And this is why the day is mundane, and it's the same-all-same-all. Something's got to change with you.

I'm just wondering if you're going to repeat the cycle. If the redundancy of mediocrity is going to continue, we've got purpose and we've got fulfillment and we've got destiny breathing down our necks. Let's accept the truth. This is the only way the day matters if we get aware of what's happening and what's going on. What has my attention?

Do I have the attention span of a toddler? What's happening? And so once we accept where we are, we accept that truth, we got to give ourselves time to heal. We get to learn from not only our mistakes, but learn from others' mistakes. We have to study why we fail, how we fail.

And we've got to ensure that we never do it again. If you're going to win the war for the day, you're going to have to have a high threshold for pain. We'll be offended. People will let you down. People will lie to you. Places, circumstances, life will unfold and unravel. This life will knock you in your mouth.

But you've got to stay focused. Even when it's painful, even when we're awesome, Even when we're excommunicated and ghosted, it may hurt, but that pain will subside. If you're going to crush this day, this week, this month, this quarter, and this year, and if the rest of your life is going to be the best of your life, you're going to have to think differently, plan differently, set the goal, and you're going to have to have to write it down. You've got to get clear. You've got to get specific. And once you get specific, what you wrote down mandates what you do.

I said it before, I say it again. Oftentimes the day feels mundane and meaningless because we are directionless. Write the vision down. Get clear. Get specific. Write it down. Document it. Get serious about it.

Right. it, read it. If you want to see success, then you need to make the planning stages significant and you need to see the value in the process. We want wealth, but we don't want a plan. We want success, but we don't want significance. We want connection, but we don't want correction. I've got to write it down and not only write it down, but I need my circle of accountability to correct things that may be wrong. Because if you're trying to build this dream, and walk in your destiny by yourself, if you think you can pull it off with no help,

with no purpose partner, then it's too small. I'm speaking healing over you. I'm speaking breakthrough over you. I'm speaking that you walk into your future that you'll let go of what was to step into what is. I believe this for you. I believe that as you become and not just do,

that what you seek will pursue you. destiny who began to chase you down. No matter how far you have sunk, no matter how hard you have fallen, you've got enough grit, you've got enough grace, you've got enough faith, you've got enough courage to stand up. It's time to rise. This is your day. Get up and conquer your day.
