Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello listeners. Motivosity is excited to share that we have launched a new podcast called Morning Motivation by Motivore. 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.
Starting point is 00:00:39 One of the most important lessons in life that you should know is to remember to have an attitude, gratitude, humility. Understand where the gift comes from. It's not mine. It's been given to me. Use what I have. Use what you have.
Starting point is 00:01:02 to help others. You know, on your last day, you can't take it with you. But you can leave it here. I don't care what you're going through, what life's throwing at you. It's your responsibility to find you a new 100%. You write the story of your life. No one can write your financial story. No one can write your spiritual story.
Starting point is 00:01:28 No one can write your emotional story, but you. life has value, your words carrying weight, and when you allow your actions to follow your words, you change things around you. This is who you are. This is the very five-roof of the person that I'm talking to in this room. You know, take advantage the opportunity that you have at this age and the people that you know to build your life resume. It's going to talk about all the time, you know. It's like, you have the work resume. So what? That means nothing if you're not building up your life resume. Believe in everything that you are and understand that within you, there's something greater than any obstacle you'll ever face.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Have faith in your abilities. Work hard, never give up, and there's nothing you can't accomplish. A person's character is not judged when they ride the wave of success. When everyone chants their name and you want to be their friend, no. Your character is put to the test when your back is against the wall. Did it come this far? To come this fault. We came here to be telling.
Starting point is 00:02:47 It's about pushing yourself and give it 110% of everything you got. You simply have to give it everything you have to get it. You need to shut down all negativity. You will follow me and you will bite your word. You don't want this enough. My life on the line. You hear me get your life on the line. everything on the left.
Starting point is 00:03:15 I'm going to do the next right thing, not over complicated. What I feed will grow and what I starve will die. Every day that you wake up, remember someone else did not. You are alive for a reason. You hear it's 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 today. The reason why days often feel meaningless and mundane
Starting point is 00:04:14 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?
Starting point is 00:04:32 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're going to seize the opportunity, accept where you're going to see? 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 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:05:38 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. If the day It'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. 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.
Starting point is 00:06:58 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.
Starting point is 00:07:34 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.
Starting point is 00:08:03 This is the only way the day matters is 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? for a champion. And so once we accept where we are, we accept that truth, we got to give ourselves time to heal. We got 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,
Starting point is 00:08:50 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 got to say focused. Even when it's painful, even when we're ostracized, even when we're excommunicated and ghosted, it may hurt, but that pain will subside. Let's show the world what a true king and queen is. Together we will rise, together we will fight. And if God says, together we will fall. Let's be phenomenal that King and Quaid. This is only the beginning. Life is not done with you. Your dream is not done with you.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Turn us all into winner. Turn us all into perfection. The dream will never manifest. never manifest. The money will never come, ever come, fight for something more than material that lays in your soul, your test. Because if you don't feel this fire, then it's not a dream. Can you hear me? I said, get. Life is not done with you. Your dream is not done with you. See, many of us believe that we don't have what it takes. You have multi-million dollar potential inside of you.
Starting point is 00:11:31 And you don't need a dollar to obtain it. It's all inside of you. 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 you, your life, you're going to have to think differently, plan differently, set the goal, and you're going 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
Starting point is 00:12:23 down. Get clear, get specific. Write it down. Documented. Get serious about it. Write it. Write 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 it. What is? I believe this for you. I believe that as you become and not just do, that what you seek will pursue you.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Destiny will begin 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. Instead of the path of least resistance, I started choosing the path of most resistance to prepare myself for the journey that was coming my way. And you realize through hard work, you can outwork anybody.
Starting point is 00:14:30 How bad ass they are. It starts with yourself, man. You got to start diving into those things that you're afraid of. You don't gain confidence by going to a spot that makes you feel good. It could be a false reality In the second life gives you that challenge All you want to do is go back to what gave you confidence
Starting point is 00:14:54 Is that happy spot No What gave me confidence What's been in years at a kitchen table Trying to learn how to read and write All my own Realizing I can't learn the way you learn I can't
Starting point is 00:15:09 But I can't learn What gives you confidence not being afraid It's overcoming the fear. That's what gives me confidence. It's facing these things, overcoming them. And maybe not overcoming them every day. But facing them. And facing them and facing them pretty soon like this.
Starting point is 00:15:28 You know what, man, this and where is that? It's not in that comfort zone. It's in the discomfort zone. It's where my confidence is getting built. That's what it's getting built. Happiness, peace, enlightenment. It's all up here, man. It's all up here.
Starting point is 00:15:48 It's all up here. He's going to go and face it. And that's the hard part. The physical standard is not what they need to meet. It's a mental standard you must meet in life. That's how I live my life. I now know that there is no cap on the human mind. There's no cap.
Starting point is 00:16:14 We cap it ourselves. The most people quit. I had just started. And when we take that mindset and you learn to flip that around, That's what made me powerful and my body followed. And so I said, I want to do this. I'm going to give myself a challenge every single day until the fear goes away.
Starting point is 00:16:39 And I feel like that's what more of us should be doing. I'm hearing that that's how you live your life. That's all it is, man. And it helps me feel so much more confident. When you overcome that fear, of saying this doesn't have control over me anymore, it's like you can be at something more peace. A lot of us speak in Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:16:59 I used to speak in Hollywood. words. I don't do anymore. Everything that comes out of mouth has substance. It's real. We all have these feelings in our bodies, in our minds, and our souls. I act on mine. A lot of us who are afraid of something, we allow our minds to choose the path that leads resistance so we go a different route. I'm afraid of something that's telling me you must, you must do that. Life is one big mind game and you're playing it with yourself. You cannot lose perspective of where you've come in life. I'm trying to give people a different thought process of life where failure, hell, disappointment, discomfort is a great learning tool. And many people don't understand that, but it's these few moments in life that you have.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Like for me, I always talk about it. Rocky won round 14. That one two minute and 13 second clip of Rocky. getting up when Apollo knocked him down. That one clip, when I was going through a very bad time in my life, I saw what I wanted to be. It wasn't a guy that won. It wasn't a guy that won everything he did.
Starting point is 00:18:28 It was a guy that kept getting up after being knocked down. So I realized if that two minutes and 13 seconds changed my life, so I was. I saw something that I needed to be in the world I was living in. Maybe my story will give someone to 2 minutes and 13 seconds they need to change their life. Everybody's got a story. We don't share it on social media. We share our nice life on social media.
Starting point is 00:19:00 We all have a dungeon. I'm just willing to talk about mine. Mental toughness isn't something that you sample. It's something that you lived in every day. Whenever hardness comes, and you don't know what it is, It may be different for you than is for me, but you go back to your insecurities. And then when you go back to the insecurities, you then look for comfort within those insecurities.
Starting point is 00:19:25 And we all look for that cookie that your mom used to give you when you were sad, when you were sick. We look for our wife or our husband. We look for comfort. It's in those moments. You must retrain your mind to think differently in hell. The mental standard is you must know how far you've come. Judge a person not by what they accomplished, but what they had to overcome for their accomplishment.
Starting point is 00:19:59 But a hungry have zero excuses for not pursuing their dreams. And they come back again and again and again. They operate like Willie Jolly, who said that a setback is 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:20:39 There's never a shortage of opportunities. It's just a shortage of thinking. Because some things are taught and some things are caught. court. 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 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 hear it. You hear it often enough. It becomes your reality. Perception, not challenging. becomes real for you.
Starting point is 00:21:22 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 could ever begin to imagine. You have greatness in you.
Starting point is 00:21:45 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 it be spent on the ends of strains that somebody else pulls. When you recognize your greatness, no one will ever pull your strains. You are different.
Starting point is 00:22:09 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. There's 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.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I walk in a room now, and I know that hours and years and decades, I put into David Gaggans. That's something, it's not on the wall. It's not a trophy on the wall. It's not a metal on your neck. I don't care how you perceive David Gagons because through my journey, I figured out the one piece I was missing.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I thought it was cars. I thought it was women. I thought it was money. I thought it was everything. The one piece I was missing was me having the courage to face myself. Where I got my work ethic from was the hours I had to spend
Starting point is 00:23:24 learning this. When you sit down and you're not smart, you have a disability. Yeah. And you still want to be in the top of your class. I didn't want to just get by. When I realized that I can learn, do hard work, and I can beat the valedictorian in school, but I got put in 10 hours more a day than he does. You know what kind of strength comes from that? When you're sitting down that guy that valedictorian study for an hour, and you know, I caught you, I have the world. I have the work ethic to catch you. That's where David Gaga's got really invented. Was at a kitchen table with 20 spiral notebooks that were empty.
Starting point is 00:24:05 And then they were full. And when you can go through that, I still have them in my storage unit. You go through these spiral notebooks of your life. And you realize, this is how I learned. This is unbelievable. It wasn't until I got real sick. And my life got real quiet. I went from running 205 miles and 39 hours to,
Starting point is 00:24:29 I couldn't get out of bed. Our life was taken from me. And that's when I realized. I hadn't taken time to think about what I'd done in my life. I'd done all these things, but there was no finish line. I finished a race of life.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Now I didn't even receive my mental. I go on. I get in the car and I go. When I started figuring out life, that I was leaving so much in the 10, once I realized, my God, man, I was just dumb, fat kid being bullied And now I'm 180-pound person lost 106 pounds in less than three months.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Learn to read. Learned to do this. Learned to do that. I was like, I need more. I was fueling my mind with everything. I never took time to say, my God, you came from this hell and you're here. I had come 8,000 miles from where I started. But if you never know that, you're still in a $7 a month place.
Starting point is 00:25:27 So it's that quiet place. It's that place by yourself. It's those hours and years and decades by yourself in the grip of life. When life has you by the throat and choking you out and you're sitting there calm because you're trying to figure it out. You're not panicking. You're not quitting. You're not throwing a towel.
Starting point is 00:25:50 You're saying there's a way around this. And when you figure it out, when life has you gripped in advice and you can figure that out, that's when you overcome. That's when you overcome. The journey getting there was harder than going through it. You know? So that's the whole thing about life, man. It's that journey that makes you who you are. You made it back. Another 24 hours down.
Starting point is 00:26:23 It's incredible. I'm proud of you for that. And I know you don't want to be here. I get it. That state of mind. It's tough. I understand that. But don't quit. So if you quit, you're going to wind up right back where you started. where you started. Remember when you started how bad and how desperate you were to be right where you are right now? You gotta keep that same attitude man. You gotta keep moving forward.
Starting point is 00:26:48 You're pushing it. Don't allow fear of failure and the allure, the attractiveness of playing it safe in life to draw you in. You can't get out of life alive. You've got to die to leave here. When you're asleep ladies and gentlemen, you need, you need, you. dreams. I'm here to tell you that when you're wide awake, you also need your dreams. You must have your goals. You'll never make it as a wandering generality. You must become a meaningful specific. If you're going to work tomorrow because that's what you did yesterday, you're not going to be as good tomorrow as you were yesterday because now you're two days older and no closer to the goal which you do not have. I'm telling you to keep going when you face opposite
Starting point is 00:27:48 I'm telling you to keep going when you face adversity. I'm telling you to keep going because... Years from now, when you look back, make sure you remember one thing about this moment. That you gave everything you had. That you leaned in on those late nights and those early morning wake-ups. The hours upon hours in the books, the preparation, dedication, and the resilience. that you knew who you were and let it manifest and lead you into the future. Hello, you can't get out of life alive.
Starting point is 00:28:25 So there's no safe position. You can die in the bleachers or you can die on the field. You might as well come out on the field and have a good time. Problem is permanent. Or you start thinking the problem's pervasive because I haven't handled my finances, my whole world's over, or because my relationship's bad, the whole world's over. Or all this is happening because there's something wrong with me.
Starting point is 00:28:49 with me? Your life is bigger than that. People need a new perspective and you can't do it by just sitting and thinking you got to move your body, you got to change your energy and your focus because low level of energy, I don't think you have to get how smart you are, you're not going to use all your ability. But if I get you into a higher state of being mentally, emotionally, physically, then all of a sudden you start remembering who you are and you start coming up with answers that you never even thought were possible before. Doesn't it really astonish you that you are this fantastically complex thing and that you're doing all of this and you never had any education in how to do it never learned but you're this miracle it's one of the
Starting point is 00:29:35 great wonders of life you aren't here to simply survive or navigate foreign territory no you you were made for this moment most of us have been conditioned not to take a risk people ask me all the time What does it take to be happening? And I always tell them it's really simple. One word, progress. Progress equals happiness. If you keep growing, you're going to feel alive. And if you keep growing, you're going to have more to give.
Starting point is 00:30:07 When you find the way out of no way. When you find breath that you don't have, when you find energy that did not exist, when you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe, that's when you find a way. Doesn't take any motivation, any dream. in order to stay down there on a low level. But it calls on everything in you, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:30:28 You have to harness your will to say, I'm going to challenge myself. Sometimes I have to pull myself out of bed and then, come on, Les. Things I know I should do, I don't do. Things that shouldn't do I do. I've found that the biggest enemy you have to deal with is yourself. There's an old African proverb that says
Starting point is 00:30:46 if there's no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm. If you're willing to endure, to hang in just a little bit longer, give just a little bit more. If you're willing to put all of yourself into the task before you, you may just be amazed at what life gives back. It doesn't matter how many statues, Oscars they give you or Emmys or how much money you have in the bank. We've all seen people have all those things and I get the phone call. they're depressed or somebody commits suicide in that area. So it's really an inner game.
Starting point is 00:31:32 And I think that's what's missing for us today. Everybody's focusing on the outside world. And hell, there's a lot of things in the outside world you'll never be able to control. You can influence, but you can't control it. This, your mind, your motions, your body, you have 100% control over what you do with these things. And that's where the game is won. You win the inner game, then you win the outer game. But a lot of people spent their life trying to win the outer game.
Starting point is 00:31:55 They won and they're miserable. We're always worrying, did I think this over long enough? Did I take enough data into consideration? And if you think it through, you find you never could take enough data into consideration. The data for a decision in any given situation is infinite. So what you do is you go through the motions of thinking out what you will do about this. And then when the time comes to act, you make a snap. It's amazing how often it works.
Starting point is 00:32:32 It's necessary that you have the mindset that I can do this. You've got to begin to believe and to fortify that belief and feed that belief by listening to tapes. Going to seminars and workshops, by challenging yourself, by stretching yourself. Don't get so wrapped up in what happened yesterday that you miss out on the opportunities that are waiting for you today. Remember, whenever one door closes, there is another door waiting for you. So to me, success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. And so many people are focused on success still, which to me is like, it's not the wrong with it, but it's like success is getting what you want.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Fulfillment is living what you're made for. To take the risk of doing what we want, which will work, to the extent that we realize that what I want, basically, what I really want, is what you want. And I don't know what you know. But I never would have discovered what I'm able to do right now. If I wasn't willing to take a chance. And you've got to be willing to do that.
Starting point is 00:33:49 You've got to believe in yourself. I want to change the world. I want to make the world a better place. I want to fulfill the promise. I want to make a difference. I want to be different from my own life. I want to be successful. How do you do it?
Starting point is 00:34:01 One day, one choice, one minute, one hour, one second, one decision at a time. You want to become a risk taker. You want to raise the bar. on yourself. Most people won't do that. See, most people engage in low life living, low risk living. This God said if you're not willing to risk, you cannot grow. And if you cannot grow, you cannot become your best. And if you cannot become your best, you can't be happy. And if you can't be happy, then what else is there? When you're serious about changing, all of you need to do, you don't have to tell anybody you're changing. Just do it. Let your life speak. Let your life
Starting point is 00:34:41 screen, let your life shout, and let it speak so loud, it will speak volumes and nobody can ignore it. You start making good choices. You start making good decisions. If you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl, but by all means, keep moving. Execute. Execute on the things that you said you were going to execute on. Kobe said, why would I pass the ball to you when you haven't even trained properly? I used to always wondering, like, why is my man hogging the ball? He's like, yo, why would I have confidence in somebody who's getting to the gym late, who's leaving early, we losing, doesn't seem to care that we lose it.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Why would I give the ball to you? And I'm like, yo, genius. My whole career is contingent upon what you do and what you don't do. Yeah, I'm taking this. that shift my thought process because I'm like, here I am judging from the outside, why aren't you being a better teammate? But the real question is, why aren't you being a better teammate by seeing my energy and matching my energy? Because we're on the same team with the same goals. We have the ability to, no matter what our circumstances are, get better.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Well, you don't know me. If you knew me in 2002, you don't know Eric Thomas. That was the 5.0 version. This is the 14. This is the ET 14. You don't know who I am. And I would just say to people, yes, it takes a lot of work to become a new model,
Starting point is 00:36:40 but it also takes a lot of work to suck, to be average. It takes a lot of work to do that as well. There are a group of people that feel like it's okay not to execute because I'm not feeling okay, because today is not a good day, because all the stars didn't line up. No, despite this happening, I owe it to myself to still be the person that I dreamed of being and this setback will only be a setup for a comeback.
Starting point is 00:37:08 We owe it to the people who follow us to not stay where we are, but to take it to that next level. Being in a room with somebody who's executing and operated at a high level, and I'd much rather put in the work and live this experience. We have opportunity. You have an opportunity of a lifetime. Whatever you do, don't waste it. Get up and go make it happen. You're already in pain.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Get a reward for it. So why would you go through all that pain and not get something for it? To put all those hours in and not transfer those hours to something else. It doesn't make sense. Not to recycle the pain and get wealth or a successful life or a successful spouse, like whatever, have kids, whatever it is. I was like, it can't end here. I've read the books.
Starting point is 00:38:06 I've gone to the conferences. I went to the classes. I got the degrees. It can't end with just life is going to deal me this hand. You still have to do life regardless of how you come into life. If you come in great, if you come in poorly, it does not matter. You have to do life. And if you're smart, you do life on your terms.
Starting point is 00:38:30 And you don't let life make you do. do it on its terms. I'll do whatever it take to keep this freedom. I'll do whatever it takes. So the first thing you got to do is you got to get out of your feelings. You know, you woke up, got into it with your spouse or your kids called with something that was going on or you were sick. And so I think for most people they go wrong because they think it's a feeling when execution is a fact. There are going to be difficult times in your life. There are going to be times where you have every reason to make an excuse. But that won't serve you. And I look at Colby and was like, yo, not, you didn't necessarily live to be a hundred,
Starting point is 00:39:08 but the time you had on earth, you put in work. And then you went and dominated one area, and then you start coming over and said, now I'm coming into some other areas. But I'm going to bring my greatness over here, and I'm going to kill it. And that's all I'm saying to people. Greatness is in you, activated. Like I wake up every day with this. All right, I'm going to win.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Nobel Prize and it's not about the Nobel Prize, it's not about Norway, it is about if LeBron and Michael Jordan are playing for the finals and Gretzky is playing for the Stanley Cup and somebody else is playing for the pennant like my my pennant is the Nobel Prize because you don't get that without helping millions of people get from one place in their lives you know to another and so what I do is I figure out where you are and I dare you to come out of where you are to if nobody ever influence you where would you want to be like what what do you want what do you want you not what they want you to do if you could dream like what would your best life look like for you if you didn't have to impress your mom or your dad you didn't
Starting point is 00:40:18 have to go to college because your parents went to college like what would you really do and then if they can tell me and if I can figure out where you want to go at that point I can snap your current reality and help you to build a new reality to help you to get where you go. So for me it's I got to get in here and I got to get in here. And if you let me into these two spaces, I can get you wherever you're trying to get to. Guys, you got to understand the opportunities that you have. You know, I've been to third world countries where it does not matter how early you wake up. It does not matter how long you stay up.
Starting point is 00:40:59 It doesn't matter what your skill sets are. It doesn't matter. You don't have opportunities. You have people all over the world who are dying to get here, literally dying to get here. You have an opportunity of a lifetime and where much is given, much is required. Like you got opportunities. You got banks that you can get loans from. You can go online and sell stuff from online.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Like you don't have to have a store anymore. A store front. Like you can literally become rich from your watch. So it's like, yo, instead of you looking at everything that's not, look at what is. So absolutely. Is there some stuff to complain about 1,000%? It's a whole bunch of stuff I can complain about. It's a lot of stuff that I can be angry about.
Starting point is 00:41:40 But I didn't realize how quick life was. Because life is short, I don't have time to focus on what's not. I've got to focus on what he is. Then get up and go get it. And for me, it's like, guys, I need you to understand where you are. We are looking for opportunity. And we have it. And so if you can lock in, I need you to get focused.
Starting point is 00:42:06 I need you to get locked in. I'm too scared not to try. Like, I'm too scared not to take the risk. The only thing standing in your way is you. That's it. Like, how is that possible? Like, somebody doesn't do what you think they should do and you go off. But then you give you a pass.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Like, you don't go off on you. But when are you going to go in the mirror and check yourself? Like, why are you giving yourself a pass? Why are you giving yourself a pass? But then you didn't finish school or you didn't write the book or you didn't do the album or you didn't go back to school or you told yourself who's going to lose weight and you just let you just let yourself walk the hook like, well, you didn't do it for you. I'm saying no, do me a favor with that same energy you use to hold somebody else accountable, hold yourself accountable because here's a deal. You hold me accountable and I change. How do you benefit from that? Use that same energy you use on others.
Starting point is 00:43:04 I'm not saying don't hold people accountable, but I'm saying use that same energy on yourself and you be shocked how much further you be in light if you just punish your, if you put you on punishment. So for me, it's not, this is happening, this is happening, this is happening, I look at it, game seven,
Starting point is 00:43:22 this is where the Magic Johnson's, the Larry Burge, like, this is where the Michael George's are made. This is where the real ballers, This is when the real ball has come out. This is what I signed up for. This is what all the weights were for. This is the eating right. This is getting up early.
Starting point is 00:43:38 This is the trainers. Like, this is why I went to this school. This is why I got this coach. Like this, I long for this and I live for this. When I see trials and tribulations, I go, it's your time with a real Eric Thomas. With a game seven, Eric Thomas. Please stand up. Activate.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Grand Slam. Boom. It's out of here. So I just look at it as, hey, if you want to complain, go for it, I will rise to the level of the challenge. It was easy. Everybody would do it. Go over it.
Starting point is 00:44:48 What you're focusing on and who you're listening to. Energy flows where focus goes. So what are you focused on? If you haven't been able to get it done, today marks the first day of the best days of your life. So where focus goes, energy flows. Talking to you going to get it done. I need you to listen.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Have focused. At all costs, protect your peace. If you're going to get it done, you got to let some things go. Stop waiting to feel like it. Stop waiting until you see it. Stop waiting for somebody to come and save you.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Nobody's coming to rescue you. The problem with many of you is that you're focused on your fears. You're focused on the risk more than you are the reward. The prize goes to the hardest worker in the room of this. Many of you is that you're not tired enough. You're focused on the pain of the process more than you are the glory on the other side. You're listening to the wrong people. You're listening to the wrong voices.
Starting point is 00:46:23 It's time to pull that energy from fear. Pull that energy away from doubt. You want this. You can hear my voice. I'm just wondering if you are bold enough, if you are daring enough, if your faith is outrageous enough to take a chance on yourself, it's time to manifest. It's time to get it done. Fight, fight, fight, fight for your future. It may hurt or get it done.
Starting point is 00:47:02 With tears in your eyes, get it done. If nobody believes in you get it done If the person you love most walks out on you get it done If your children don't believe in you get it done If your spouse don't believe in you get it done It's always impossible until it's done So get it done Of course of my life I've come to realize
Starting point is 00:47:31 That in order to get things done There's some things I've got to get over And that's the problem with many of the things of you is that you're not over the relationship gone bad. You're not over the job that you lost. You're not over the person that walked out on you, the people and the places where you've experienced trauma and anguish. You're not over it.
Starting point is 00:47:54 You're not over the fear. You're not over the anxiety. You don't smile anymore. You don't laugh anymore. You don't love like you used to. And there's some things you're going to have to get over. You have not been able to get it done. because you're carrying so much weight from the past.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Don't feel like it. But newsflash, stop waiting to feel it. At the end of the day, you can listen to a million motivational speeches, but you are going to have to wake up and make a decision to get it done. The moment you are no longer willing to tolerate where you are, Everything changes. Nobody's going to be able to pull you out of the murky water, out of this muddy, bloody, painful, miserable place that you're in. Make up your mind.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Enough is enough. I'm getting out of this place. And I got stuff to do. City to fulfill. Women in sacrifice. Are you willing to let go of some things? Are you willing to put the work in? Are you ready to be consistent?
Starting point is 00:49:18 Are you tired of this version of yourself? Get over the pain. Get over the trauma. Get over the betrayal. Get over who left you. Get over who lied on you. Get over it. If you're going to get it done, you've got to get over it.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Release the pain. Release the unforgiveness. Release the fear. If you're going to get it done, you're going to have to eliminate all distractions and put your blinders on. I don't know what your goal is. Let the world reject you. Let the world close doors on you. Let the world tell you no.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I'm just wondering, can you dig deep beside yourself? The future goes to the hardest worker in the room. You have everything you need to get. started. Stop waiting for the weather to change in your life. Stop waiting for the perfect conditions. Stop waiting for a hand out. Stop waiting for everybody to believe in you and cheer for you and affirm you. Life knocked you in the mouth years ago and you haven't hit back yet. You hit back with determination. You hit back with focus. You hit back when you listen. You hit back when you are disciplined. You hit back with serious. Get in the ring and hit back. It's time to get up and hit back.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Stand in a mirror and tell yourself, I've got a destiny to fulfill. It's simple, but it's not easy. But all you have is all you need. It's the start that stops most people. Start now. Some of you have been abandoned. Your greatest opponent is an enemy you cannot see. But you can feel, you can feel that abandonment, you can feel that agony, that anguish, you can feel that anger, you can feel the confusion, you can feel the laziness, the deceitfulness, the depression, you can feel the garbage of guilt and fear, you can feel the dysfunction, you can feel it. That is the enemy, the battle, the fight for the future, the fight to rise is in your head. It's all in your head. Now is the moment to capture the vision. Let me tell you something. Here's what success is all about.
Starting point is 00:52:18 You need these three things. Are you ready? You need skill set, mindset and opportunity. Skill set, mindset and opportunity. You need to rise up and understand what success is all about. Skill set. Work on your skill, mindset. Work on your mentality, baby.
Starting point is 00:52:34 And your opportunity will come. Trust me. When your opportunity to come, you better be ready. When your opportunity hits, you better respond, baby.

Life will keep you locked away in a glass coffin and dare you to shatter that glass. Everything changes today.

You should work so hard that you collapse in the bed at night. Sometimes in the afternoon you're so weary from grinding that your body just collapses. That's okay. I have sweet sleep, but when you wake up, grind again. Now is your time.
