Takes guts.
You got to dig down deep to gut it out.
Keep on going again and again and again.
Until you make it happen because you know that it's possible.
Now, what do you do during the hard times, Les?
Here's what you must do.
Number one is, you must have faith.
Paul said you must have the faith to call for those things that be not as though they were.
Judge not according to appearances.
Don't judge your circumstances and the possibilities for your future based upon what you have now
and because of what's going on now.
No, no, no, no.
That's not the real reality there.
What you're going through, if you're going through some hard times, it has not come to stay.
It has come to pass.
It's all right.
Now, second thing is, repeat this after me. Something you should affirm to yourself every day.
Repeat this, please. No matter how bad it is, well, how bad it gets, I'm going to make it.
Say that to yourself every day.
As I used to say to myself, when I would get up in the Pernat Scott building and I had to go into the bathroom and bathe in the bathroom sink,
I had written on the mirror that I put up, they just paste up and I read it.
no matter how bad it is or how bad it gets I'm going to make it so you got to have faith you talk to yourself you say that affirmation the next step is you must have patience and engage in consistent action
patience and engage in consistent action so everything does not always happen ladies and gentlemen when we wanted to happen it doesn't happen
quickly. So in that process, they have something in the Far East called the Chinese bamboo tree.
The Chinese bamboo tree, every day it has to be watered and fertilized. It's a very hard nut.
And it takes five years of watering and fertilization every day, according to American Geographic,
before it breaks through the ground. At any time, if the watering process and the nurturing process and the nurturing
in the fertilization process is stopped, the Chinese bamboo tree will die in the ground.
Now, once it breaks through in that fifth year, then in six weeks it grows 90 feet tall.
Now the question is, does it grow 90 feet in five years or six weeks?
The answer is obvious.
It takes five years.
That's how long it took.
To grow it, to build that foundation,
to nurture it, to water it,
to build the reputation,
to build the credibility,
to learn the market,
to learn people,
to learn yourself,
to learn how to do it.
You must have patience
and engage in consistent action.
We live in the world, ladies and gentlemen,
where people want instant gratification.
They want it right now.
But they're not willing to pay the price.
do what it takes. They think it was easy? No, no. It's simple, but it's not easy. It's a system that if you work the system, it works if you work it. But make no mistake about it. It's hard. You are the determining factor. Here's something else. It's possible you can live your dream. No matter how bad it is, or how bad it gets,
I'm going to make it.
I'm going to make it.
It's necessary that you have goals, that you write them down, that you surround yourself
with a support team, that you are created.
It's you that you must take personal responsibility to make it happen.
The people that make it in this world look around for the circumstances that they want and if they can't find them, they create them.
It's hard. No easy is not an option.
However, ladies and gentlemen, what you will discover is that it's worth it.
It's worth it.
suggest to you if you want to become diamond, write down five reasons of why it is worth it for you
to become a diamond. To experience that level of achievement, what is it that will give you the drive?
What is it that will ignite the courage in you to get up and come back again and again and again?
How is it that you would be able? What reasons that can tap in to that deep down feeling that
goes to your gut that no matter how many times you'll get knocked down
that you're coming back.
What is it? Write it down.
When I started and left Miami pursuing my dream,
because I knew that as long as you work for someone else,
they are controlling your destiny.
I don't want anybody signing my paycheck but me.
I knew that it was going to be difficult.
I knew it was going to be hard.
But every time I thought about giving up,
and there were times I did.
Because where I am, ladies and gentlemen, it's a long shot.
You think being a diamond is a long shot.
This is a miracle.
This is a long shot.
I had people laughing at these skills.
Last, you're talking about being a motivational speaker.
You failed twice in school.
They put you back from the fifth grade into the fourth grade and you fail in the eighth grade.
You've never worked for a major corporation.
And you are going to become independently wealthy.
Right.
They laugh.
They're going to laugh at you.
People are going to laugh at you.
But let me tell you, I believe in revenge like Prince or not.
He said, the best revenge is massive success.
It's a long shot.
Being here with you today in this dome in Atlanta, it's a long shot.
But I kept running toward my dream.
As you hold on to that dream, there are moments when you're going to doubt yourself.
There are rough times.
come, but they have not come to stay. They have come to pass. It's not going to be easy.
As you go toward the future, begin to know that you have greatness within you, begin to envision
yourselves, to reach your goals. If you want a thing bad enough, go out and fight for it, work day
and night for it. Give up your time, your peace, and your sleep for it. What if we have that kind of
attitude, the cause repossessed. Nobody believes in you. You've lost again and again and again.
The lights are cut off, but you're still looking at your dream, reviewing it every day and say to yourself,
it's not over until I win.
