There is a chapter that is on the horizon where you withdraw yourself from every distraction in the season of my life.
It's God, me, and goals.
At this juncture, nothing else matters.
I got to disappear.
I got work to do.
As you step into this chapter alone, my question to you is, who will you be when you come,
out and what will you give back to the world?
One of the questions you need to ask yourself is who and what has your attention?
Because not everything in your life is bringing you something, something fake from you.
You have programmed yourself for entertainment and things that are pulling you away from destiny,
pulling you away from purpose.
And I'm just wondering if you are willing, if you are courageous enough, if you have
the faith if you're bold enough to sit down for 30 days and write down what it is that's killing you
what if you could just shut out every distraction what if you could just shut out the world for
just a season and focus on you there are anybody here that's willing to disappear can you hide yourself
in the library can you hide yourself in the gym can you hide yourself in the boardroom and plan
and caucus and do what is required behind the scenes in order to manifest the moment.
Nobody wants to disappear for three months, four months, six months,
and get into a place where you can focus on just you.
We celebrate athletes and we celebrate critical thinkers and innovators and actors
and we praise them and coined them our heroes.
We love what they do in public, but you don't know the story behind the glory.
You don't know the blood, the sweat,
You didn't see the tears that they cry, the prayers that they pray to get where they are.
I'm just wondering if there's anybody here that is willing to go through the process in the dark room that prepares us and equips us for the stages of destiny.
The world is waiting for you to manifest.
I'm talking to that man, that woman, that boy, that girl, that doesn't have a problem laying in obscurity because you know that when you come out of the dark,
room all eyes on you. You have to disappear and put the work in and come back and shock everybody
that doubt in you. I would rather tell the world what I've done than what I'm going to do.
There's enough people talking. Just make the move and don't talk until it's time for the
checkmate. Move in silence.
One of the most underrated superpowers on earth is moving in silence, thinking in silence,
caucusing in silence, meditating, praying, working on your craft, doing the dark work,
behind the scenes where nobody can see it, nobody can congratulate you, nobody can affirm you,
nobody can celebrate you. I'm doing this thing not to be celebrated, I'm doing this thing not to be noticed and acknowledged and supportive.
I'm doing this thing because if I don't do this, I'm not going to achieve what it is that I'm after.
This is the power of moving in silence.
If I'm going to move in silence, I've got to know how to plan in silence and think in silence and meditate and pray and put the work in behind the seat.
Nobody can see it but me!
Every rising star that you see, every innovator and trailblazer and creator and philanthropist and minister and business business,
person or athlete or entertainer.
We see them at this height, but we don't see the work.
You were not there when they cried and they bled and they sweat and they almost quit
and they almost threw in the town and they were left alone to continue the word, to pray,
to believe, to think, to caucus, to plan it out and then execute and come back and shock.
I'm not going to say a word until I win.
I'm not posting about it.
I'm not trying to prep you.
You don't need a trailer.
I'm going to make an announcement that I won.
Not that I'm working, but I won.
Checkmate.
Checkmate.
Somebody shout, checkmate.
Somebody's dropping in the comments, checkmate.
Move in silence.
Drop it in the comments, checkmate, checkmate, checkmate.
You talked about me, you doubted me, you deserted me, you left me for dead.
Watch me checkmate.
And I'm going to do it.
It's silence. As a matter of fact, I'm not going to say a word until I win.
There are seasons in life where we get to that need to be played and lived out like a chess game.
Don't talk until it's time.
A chess player does not talk until the time has come for the checkmate.
Man, drop it into the checkmate, checkmate, checkmate, checkmate.
Stop talking about everything you're anything.
Checkmate.
Successful people have mastered the arts.
of spending time alone.
They understand the power and the leverage points
when I get time with myself.
And I get in my head and I get in my heart
and I understand my behaviors and my belief systems
and my parameters and what I need to do
and how I need to soul and where I need to send my energy
and how I need to execute in the day.
They understand it's a superpower.
But everybody doesn't need to know what you're doing.
And this is why we have so many copycats and knockoffs and counterfeits and frogs, because
you brought people along with you that were not in your inner circle along throughout your process
while you were building it instead of just revealing it after it was already done.
Because this is the type of season I'm about to step into.
You talked about me, you doubted me, you deserted me, you left me for dead.
Watch me checkmate.
And I'm gonna do it in silence.
As a matter of fact, I'm not gonna say a word until I win.
Just show up and be finished with it.
Stop telling the world every step of the process and you haven't won yet.
Win, win, win, and after you win, then let them interview you.
Let the contracts drop on the table.
Let the documentary come out.
But win without a word.
And when you win, checkmate, checkmate, checkmate.
Understand your limitations.
What are your strengths?
What are your weaknesses?
Where are you losing?
Where are you winning?
How do you need to change your beliefs to align with the correct behaviors?
What type of behaviors and parameters and values do you need to have established and hardwired within yourself?
Who do I need to become to accomplish what it is I've been destined to do?
When you spend that time alone and you can think and you can pray and you can mess.
and everybody's not in your mix.
You're able to grow something that could leave a legacy and impact the lives of millions of people.
Underestimate the power of getting alone with yourself and getting dialed in with what you've been called to do and then how you're going to go about doing it.
Oftentimes we find the person who's living paycheck to paycheck doesn't want to think.
They just want to work and get paid.
It's the millionaires and billionaires and six-figure earners and networkers and busy bees and people that are out there shaking hands, stepping into rooms and arenas, building products, creating opportunity, innovators, trouble lasers.
These are the people that have spent time alone thinking about what it is they've been called to do and how they're going to execute.
They moved in silence.
They thought alone.
They prayed alone just for a moment, just for a season.
Nothing wrong with getting together with friends and family and having some corporate construct.
But there is an unfair advantage when I can get along with myself and I can talk to myself in the mirror and tell myself, self, you got stuff to do.
Self, you have things to become.
Self, there are ways you have to go about this.
And you need to be flexible.
You need to be agile.
Is God first in my house or nothing else?
We start to establish our values.
and we start to understand ourselves and what makes us tick.
Everybody doesn't need to know all the moving parts
and the pain and the tears and the sacrifice that you have made.
Just show up on stage and win.
And after you win, then you can talk about how you want.
If your dream only requires you,
then it's not big enough.
It starts with you, but it doesn't end with you.
Your team is coming.
Dropping in the comments, man.
My team is coming, but it starts with me.
My team is coming, but it starts with me.
My team is coming, but it starts with me.
Take the time to quiet yourself from distractions and negativity.
Not everyone needs to know your every move.
Sometimes you just got to be quiet.
and silence yourself and close out the noise that is around you.
Moving in silence, being quiet while you're on your journey.
People today keep up so much noise.
They want everyone to know that they're there.
But not everybody is going to celebrate with you when they see that.
your efforts are going in the right direction.
There are going to be many things that's going to hold you back
and slow you down from your progress.
But if you're not taking the time and taking the necessary steps
to get there, then you will never see what's beyond that horizon.
Moving in silence is the best way to do your business.
because when it's all said and done, ladies and gentlemen, it's your business.
Whatever it is that you are seeking in your life, be quiet from time to time.
Sure, you can share some information with people, but not everybody needs to know your business.
Because your business is yours, and it doesn't belong to anyone else.
whatever you are doing out there right now
if you're moving in a positive direction
keep doing exactly what you need to do
but do not allow
outside interference
to hinder you from your success
there is power
within you
there is uniqueness
within you
there is strength
within you.
Just be quiet
and go forward.
Be what you need to be.
Hold on
to everything that you possess
within yourself
and do your work.
Most people don't want to go to that extra mile.
Most people don't want to find that extra
because it sucks. It's miserable.
It's lonely.
You talk about that you were lonely by yourself.
I was the same way.
And that used to hurt me growing up now after that's the only place to be.
It's at one time where I have an hour, hour and a half, every day.
It's dark out, it's quiet, I don't have my phone, there's no notifications, my mind is clear.
My name is Kobe Bryant.
I'm 17 years old, and I wasn't invited to parties or friendly, friendly gatherings on the weekend.
So on Fridays and Saturdays, I would go in my rec room.
with my basketball and basically dribbled myself to sleep.
I think that that was the best thing that could have ever happened to me
because during those lonely hours in the rec room,
I discovered the hunger, the motivation,
and a desire to be the best possible basketball player that I could be.
When I get along with myself, I get alone with my thoughts,
I realize I've made solitude a monster
masquerading in my life as a constant reminder
that I am not enough when the truth is, solitude is a gift.
Admit it, you aren't like them.
You're not even close.
You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them,
watch the same mindless television shows as they do,
maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes.
But it seems that the more you try to fit in,
the more you feel like an outsider,
watching the normal people as they go about their automatic existences.
The one companion that's always going to be with you,
is yourself. I believe that the most important
daily practice that any one of us can do
in the 21st century is a daily practice of solitude. I want to say solitude, I'm
simply talking about time with yourself. There are going to be seasons in your
life where nobody is coming. Nobody's coming to support you, nobody's coming to help you,
nobody's coming to save you, no one is coming to rescue you. You're going to pull yourself out of the
pit of misery and put the work in. Sure you can talk about it. Sure you can plan it. At some
juncture you have to disappear and put the work in and come back and shock everybody
that doubted you. The thing of dreams, what you see in the movies can become your reality
when you work for it. It's the deposits and the contributions that we're
we make behind the scenes where nobody can see it.
It's the days and the minutes and the moments and the hours and the wraps that you put in.
It's the meals that you missed.
It's the times that you lost sleep.
And people may have thought you were losing your mind because you longed out of social media.
months at a time to build something. You paused on hanging out with the boys or the girls
so you can manifest it so you can see it finally. I've come to the resolve that every table
that I sit at, every room that I walk in, every stage that I stand on, every life that I enter,
the question I want to ask myself and the question that I want to ask you is, did things get better
because you are there.
It is what we do in secret.
It is what we do in silence.
It is how we work on ourselves
and condition ourselves.
When nobody can see it
that will determine how we execute
in public.
And I'm just wondering if there's anybody
listening to me out there
that has come to the resolve
that now is the time
to become the person
you know you've been destined to be.
Most of us are not okay with silence.
We got to talk.
We got to hear TV.
We got to listen to the radio.
We got to watch social media.
It's just a constant
wrapped in the swirl of destruction and noise.
We never get to the place of manifestation.
Learn how to do this thing
without talking about it.
Multitasking is not for most people.
Being a jack of all trades
is not something to be proud of.
It's not a bad thing.
of honor that you will have a desire and hunger to master something to work smart and not just hard.
Release what God has given you. Master one thing at a time. Everything that is within us, we give to an
idea. When we can get alone with ourselves, we can execute relentlessly. Because whatever it is
that's been fighting your bloodline, whatever it is that's been running,
through your family. I pray that your testimony is that it ran in your family until it ran into you.
And the moment that it ran into you, it got a rude awakening. We can be steady and persistent
under pressure. We won't buckle or grow fatigue if we can understand our desire and how to
faithfully fulfill the assignment that is on our life. Not everybody needs to know
your every move, your every step.
Because sometimes there are outsiders that will come in
and they will distract you from your destiny.
When you quiet yourself,
when you turn down the volume from all of the things that are holding you back,
and turn up the volume within you
and knowing that you have all you need within yourself
to push forward,
then all things are possible.
So if I can tell you anything in this moment,
it will be to divorce distractions,
living vicariously through the lives of people
that are posting on social media, not their journey,
not step by step, not the process,
but they're posting their highlight rules.
They're showing you the best of their life.
And you're comparing your worst days to their best days.
You're distracted.
Get off social media for a moment.
Anybody that built something significant in the age of social media took a step back.
They unplugged.
They uninstalled the app for a season.
At the edge of your abilities.
Constantly challenging yourself to jump higher, leap farther, run faster, to break through, not to go around.
If we're going to manifest the future that we see in our heads and holding in our hands,
that we have to rewrite the code, we've got to unlock new paradigms, new behaviors.
Beat on your craft and work on yourself so diligently, so vigorously, so energetically,
so dynamically, so very strategically that we force ourselves to achieve.
Just be quiet.
and work in science.
This is all that is needed from you.
So whatever life has for you,
and you stand up,
and you work hard,
and you keep moving,
and you keep believing,
and you stay powerful.
There are media if you listening to me right now,
you could drop it in the comments.
You've never been,
single. And some of you have been single your whole lives. But here's my question. Can you create?
Can you implement? Can you build? Can you execute? Can you invent it? Can you imagine it and
fulfill it alone? Without sharing the details, without spilling the beans, can you build something
so beautiful, so life-giving, so unbelievable with just you and yourself? Or perhaps you,
You and your coach.
You and your mentor.
You and that one person that you know you can depend on.
I don't need to communicate this thing to the world.
I just need to get done.
You can't build a business.
You can't erect an empire with the wrong people and the wrong systems.
We never really get to the place of releasing our brilliance,
of uncovering our gifts, talents and ability because we don't spend enough time.
with ourself, beating on our craft, becoming the best version of ourselves.
We spend so much time talking about what we're going to do, posting on social media about what we think,
that we spend so much time and resource and energy, and we never really become.
I think most people grossly underestimate the power of working on themselves.
You got to get back to that time.
That child that wanted to dream,
that wanted to chase everything the world told him that he couldn't have.
Yes, we got to reset.
We're surrounded by the noise.
We're surrounded by the social media, the Instagram,
all of these things that give us no fulfillment.
And the reason why you feel this way is because you've been surrounded by negativity.
You've been surrounded by individuals that call,
themselves your friend.
But in all reality,
they're just another energy
drain.
They're just another person
that wants to tell you
that you cannot accomplish your
dreams because they failed
at every obstacle they ever
tried to defeat.
Let's go back into that hole.
Let's go back into the darkness.
Some of the
most monumental and transformational portraits and pictures that we've ever seen were developed
in the dark room.
I'm talking to that athlete.
I'm talking to that administrator.
I'm talking to that nurse, that doctor.
I'm talking to that student.
I'm talking to that communicator.
I'm talking to that pioneer, that inventor.
I'm talking to that entrepreneur.
I'm talking to that preacher.
I'm talking to that person who refuses to stay where they are.
I'm talking to that person that doesn't have a problem laying in obscurity
because you know that when you come out of the dark room on you.
Rise and go stay.
A new man, new woman.
on its journey to greatness.
Why are you here?
What is your destiny?
I got a question.
What will you do when no one is watching?
Will you do?
When no one is listening,
that's the only time that we'll be able
to bring something to this world
that it never seen before.
One of the greatest challenges
with disappearing is understanding the revelation of building in the dark.
The secret of change is to focus all of our energy, not on fighting the old, but building
the new, and specifically behind closed doors when nobody's looking, when no one is there
to affirm you, when nobody's there to validate you, when nobody is there to agree with you,
you build in the dark and you announce it when it's finished.
Let me tell you, you're going to fight.
until you can't fight no more.
And when you can't fight anymore,
you're going to lay down and bleed.
Then you're going to get up and fight some more.
Sometimes you have to fall back into the dark room
and focus on you.
There are too many people in your life who have left you.
There are too many people in your life who have counted you out.
There are too many people in your life who have whispered in your ear
and said you'll be worse off without them.
Prove them wrong.
There are people in your life that claim to be your friends.
And honestly, they are just standing there waiting to see you fail.
Yeah, you have those friends that come out to support you and tell you how great you are.
But when they're driving off, leaving from the event they're saying to themselves,
I can do that better than him.
Or I can do that better than her.
Disappear and do the work that is required.
Sometimes you've got to take a break from just about everything, disappear, come back, and shock the world.
You've been surrounded by individuals that call themselves your friend.
They're just another person that wants to tell you that you cannot accomplish your dreams.
Are you worth my time?
If you're not, it's time to unplug.
Time to unplug.
Time to unplug.
This is the process.
when you have to reset and when you have to ghost everyone.
