This is the winner's quality,
the hunger, the ability to face defeat again and again without giving up.
This is a winner's quality.
You have that quality within you.
When you're hungry, you don't care about the facts.
You don't care about the odds.
You can tell people who are committed and those people who don't feel worthy.
The people that are committed are busy doing it.
As a participant in life, you cannot be committed.
You're either committed to mediocrity or you're committed to greatness.
You're either committed to being productive or you're committed to being non-productive.
You're committed to being happy or you're committed to being unhappy.
When the average person start out in life,
don't realize the odds are stacked against them.
And you have got to call on everything in you to get ahead.
You've got to be hungry, the greatness within to win.
Greatness comes out of adversity.
What chances I need to take?
What risks do I need to begin to embrace?
What fears do I need to step on?
What areas of my life am I dead right now?
What dream?
You can either live your dreams or live your fears.
You have to have goals outside of your comfort zone
that will challenge you
because in order to do something you've never done,
you've got to become someone you've never been.
I believe that we're taught,
be you not conformed to this world,
be you transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Mental resolve, I think that everybody needs that,
because when you have goals in dreams,
there will be resistance.
An airplane cannot fly without the resistance of air.
Walt Disney filed bankrupt,
seven times when it had two nervous breakdowns.
Don't get caught up and, well, I've tried it four or five times
and things didn't work out.
If there's something that you want and you're hungry for it,
you've got to do whatever is necessary until.
And when you give the best you can and that's not enough,
you must do what is required.
You get hungry by finding something that's you.
I believe that all of us are born unique,
but most of us die copy.
You've got to find out what is it that turns you on, what resonates with you.
It's something that I'm known by.
It's on our tapes called Choosing Your Futuritin.
It says simply this, that if you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,
to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace, and your sleep for it,
if all that your dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and worthless without it,
And if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it and lose all your terror of the opposition for it,
and if you simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope, and confidence, and stern pertinacity,
if neither cold poverty, famished or cult, sickness of pain, a body and brain can keep you away from the thing that you want.
If dark it and grim, you besiege and beset it with the help of God you'll get it.
People that are hungry believe always strive to get on top in life because it's the bottom that's overcrowded.
People that are hungry believe do what you know, not what you feel.
People that are hungry have zero excuses for not pursuing their dreams.
They make no their vitamin 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. Why is it that people are frightened by commitment? Because when you say the word
commitment, that intimidates a lot of people. Why? Because it means you have to deliver.
See, most people you ask him, hey, look here, I'd like you to do this. They'll say, I'll try.
I'll try means that is my escape clause when I don't come through. It's really a polite no.
I don't have the courage to tell you no, so I'll tell you, I'll try. Hey, look, I need you to come to this
meeting, I try, I say, what do you mean? You're going to lean toward the meeting? Try and sit down.
You either do or you don't. Try and take this pencil out of my hand. You either do or you don't.
There's no such thing as try. So most people like to use that language. They don't want to
commit themselves because commitment means, among many things, no excuse is acceptable.
I speak to change lives because somebody spoke and changed my life. So this is
my passion. This is my drive. This is something that I feel in my heart. And so the key to that
hunger-driven life is a heart-centered life. I didn't do what I'm doing for years because of my
programming, because of the culture in which I was raised in. I would see other people with
degrees and PhDs and MBAs and credentials I don't have, and I convinced myself I couldn't do it.
But Mr. Washington, on that day, we became friends.
And he taught me, not only someone's opinion of you does not have to determine your reality.
He said that you have to work on yourself and you have to have an unstoppable attitude and no excuse is acceptable.
And you've got to make it a priority, a non-negotiable in your life and hold a constant vision of what it is you want to achieve.
see it accomplish and go all out, find a way to win in spite of the setbacks, in spite of the
disappointments, in spite of your failures. I tell people when I'm giving presentations, you will
fail your way to success. Those experiences, they challenge you to go to that next level and
continue to move forward in your life doing new and exciting things that I has not seen,
ear has not heard, nor is in the heart of mankind what God has in store for you when you live
a hard-centered life deciding that you're going to live a life that will outlive you. You're going to
live a life that counts a life that will build a legacy and change the planet. You know,
Harz man said we should be ashamed to die until we've made some major contribution to humankind.
Psychologists say that 86% of our self-talk is negative and it goes undetected by the conscious mind.
That's why we're taught, be not conformed to this world, be you transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Listen to recordings and things that are positive.
Go on YouTube and find things that will begin to empower you and minimize the distractions in your life.
We have so many distractions.
The weapons of mass distractions cause most people,
not to begin to live their lives from the inside out, but from the outside in. You know,
there's an African proverb that said if there's no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us
no harm. So you have to program yourself or your mind will be programmed. The other thing is that
have goals that's beyond your comfort zone because in order to do something you've never done,
you've got to become someone you've never been. You've got to 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?
