Starting point is 00:00:00 I think courage is the quintessential trait that leads to everything else. You have to first have courage. You have to have courage to quit your job. You have to have courage to get rejected. If you don't first have courage, nothing else follows. Again, it's not, are you courageous or not. It's how courageous are you. It's not a binary.

Starting point is 00:00:17 I have courage because I have done things that have required it. It takes courage. It takes courage to have a difficult conversation. Growth takes courage. learning takes courage like this takes courage. Courage isn't for somebody else for medals, applause or moral debts. Courage is what at that moment feels most right for you. One great philosopher says cowards die many times before their deaths.

Starting point is 00:00:45 The valiant never tastes of death but once. What does that mean? The valiant people aren't afraid? No, no, no. It means that they experience that, fear, and they move forward. Move forward anyhow. Many people are dead now. Many people are allowing their dreams to die.

Starting point is 00:01:05 Many people are lying the ideas to lie dormant and collect dust. Many people have all this talent and ability that they are lying to be buried inside of them, that they will take with them to their graves because they didn't have the courage to be who they are. And I say as you begin to look toward the future and manifesting your greatness, it's going to take everything in you, everything in you, that your life deserves the concentrated effort to begin to look at how is it that I can express more of me? How is it that I can bring my ideas out here now? How is it?

Starting point is 00:01:44 And start living with a sense of urgency because you're here today, you're gone today. Life is unpredictable. It's uncertain. There are no guarantees, no guarantees out here at all. So holding back, what are you waiting on? Ask yourself, what's the benefit of your waiting? What's the benefit of you're not living your dream? What's the benefit of not listening to yourself?

Starting point is 00:02:08 And for many of you, the reason why you haven't gotten up yet is because you still think failure is final. Fear sedates us. Fear immobilizes us. Fear imprises us. You've got to break out of that prison of fear and see yourself winning in the same place that you lost. Show me somebody who has achieved greatness. And if you pull up their past, I promise you, you'll see some failures and some lessons learned.

Starting point is 00:02:41 If we can change our perspective on failure, our lives will never be the same. Stop telling yourself you're not good enough. Stop telling yourself you don't have what it takes. If you want your future, get up now! I'm getting up, and I'm going to do this again. I'm getting off and I'm going to try this again. And I'm going to try it again, and I'm going to try it again. I was made to walk in purpose and to fulfill destiny.

Starting point is 00:03:12 I was not created for the prison of fear. Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently. It's an emotion that you can't fake. If you fake bravery when you're terrified, that is bravery. Well, you should be afraid of taking risks and pursuing something meaningful, but you should be more afraid of staying where you are if it's making you miserable.

Starting point is 00:03:42 Winning will cost you everything, but will reward you with so much more. It's going to cost you everything. Courage is something that rubs off on other people. I think it's enormously to be desired. to be around courageous people. And that might be different types of courage, some of it physical, some of it mental. surround yourself with courageous people,

Starting point is 00:04:03 or at least not cowards, not cretons, not the sort of people who just say the same things that everyone's meant to say. There's many ways people can get out of this non-life that they are being shunted into. Can you do what is required to fulfill your purpose? Can you do what it takes? Can you implement? Can you execute?

Starting point is 00:04:24 Are you disciplined? Are you principled? Do you possess courage to walk at purpose and to fulfill your destiny? What would your life be like if you decided to become courageous? What would your life be like? If you decided to act on your dream, if you did what you felt in your heart, you know what courageous means? Courage comes from a French word, which means of the heart. You know, it takes courage. You know, it takes courage. courage to live. Since most people go through life, not allowing themselves to step out because they don't want to let go. They don't want to be blown around. They don't want to be moved. The courage to face life's whirling wind of contradictions. The courage to love yourself. The courage to take a chance. The courage to be who you are.

Starting point is 00:05:19 Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding. Be brave. Be strong. Come out of the dark and into the light with everything that you have. Run after it. And you keep giving and you keep pouring and you keep believing and you keep pushing. It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. Or whether doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.

Starting point is 00:05:54 whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who comes up short again and again and again, who in the end knows the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. Please listen to yourself. You know the feelings.

Starting point is 00:06:20 If you start listening to the feelings in your heart and I'm doing it now more every day, I find that my feelings, I can trust them. And I say to you that as you look toward the future, you look at life on a daily basis, if there's something that you have been given, if you've heard something within yourself that you know that what you're doing now

Starting point is 00:06:43 it doesn't fit for you, it doesn't work for you, it's not giving you what you want, and there's something else that you want to do, don't allow that inner doubt in you to talk you out of it, to build a case on why you can't have it, to tell you why you're not good enough. You ignore that inner voice and all of the external voices. Don't judge the possibilities for what you can do based upon the circumstances because the circumstances won't determine who you are.

Starting point is 00:07:10 Don't determine what you're able to do based upon your resources. Don't determine what's possible for you based upon where your life is right now. Where your life is right now is not you. That's just what it is right now. But the possibilities for you are unlimited. If you're in a rebuilding process, it's unlimited. If you're coming back from adversity and devastation, it's unlimited of what you can do. That's the capacity of human beings.

Starting point is 00:07:41 It doesn't matter how many mistakes you've made. Doesn't matter how many flops you've had. Doesn't matter how much money you've lost. In fact, I see it only as an investment of what you learned from me. life, not losses, but investments of what's possible for you. Once you start listening to yourself and as you begin to act on your dream as you start just trying to find your way doing what you can, what you have, you will start seeing things opening up for you, you'll start attracting people. You say, where do you come from? Things will start coming together, clicking for you,

Starting point is 00:08:18 say, whoa, you start brainstorming, ideas will come out of nowhere as you focus on it. The key to it is to begin to focus because as you focus on that which you want to do, that which we focus on, that which we give our energy to, it will begin to multiply, it will begin to expand, it will begin to develop your consciousness. And out of that comes your greatness. Out of that comes a commitment. Out of that comes a passion for life. Out of that comes a special power that you have in you, that you haven't even called on yet. See, the powers that we have will never reveal themselves if we don't challenge them if we don't put ourselves in a position where we have to use them and the guy said put yourself in a position where you can't

Starting point is 00:09:05 retreat where it's do or die sake or swim here's what you'll find out you'll develop incredible swimming skills or swallow half the pool of life you'll find yourself stroking unlike you've ever seen before. Through the inspiration of desperation, you become more creative than ever before. All you can do is all you can do. And all you can do is enough. You do, you do all you can do. So as we look at the future, we can decide that from this day forward, as I look at my personal relationships, if I look at my professional relationships, if I look at my family relationships, As I look at all the dimensions of my life, looking at myself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, I'm going to do all I can do to develop me, to bring my talent out here, to make a contribution to life.

Starting point is 00:10:10 Here's what I know about you. You've got greatness within you. As you look toward the future and developing your greatness, begin to know that your life is worth the effort. Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? Yes. Yes.

Starting point is 00:10:25 Your life is worth it. You might have failed in the weight room, and you might have failed financially, and you might have failed in school. It doesn't matter where you fail. I need you. I need you in this moment. And get up and try again.
