It's time to stay focused.
Why are you so anti-social?
Because I'm trying to get it.
Why are you staying on the basketball court so much?
Because I'm trying to get it.
Why are you out there practicing in the hot sun when ain't nobody else out there?
Because I'm trying to get it.
Pain is temporary.
I've been trying to get that into your spirit.
I've been trying to get you to celebrate pain.
That pain is your friend.
That pain is going to take you to the next level.
Remember, just because something's never been done before,
it doesn't mean it can't be done.
It just means we haven't figured out a pathway on how to get it done,
and we will get it done.
This is it right here.
This is that moment that you got to work.
This is that moment when you got to push.
There is no weakness.
There is no weakness.
in a place of business.
Think about your end goal.
Think about what it's going to look like.
Picture it in your mind.
See yourself already there.
Stop praying that the storm will pass over you
and pray to grow through the storm.
What you go through, you will grow through.
You simply have to give it everything you have to get it.
You need to shut down all negativity.
and frankly not give me what other saying things.
You're going to do what you've been called to do.
You're going to be what you called me.
You're going to have and you're going to prove to everybody that's trying to break you.
You're going to prove a wrong.
Everybody's trying to stop you.
Everybody that's trying to kill your dream.
You're going to prove all of them wrong.
I don't care what the adversity has been.
You have two choices.
You can be unforgiving, bitter, angry, upset, and be a carrier of grief,
Or you can choose resilience.
One is watching.
You do.
It's listening.
I'm 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 where 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 you want to test my resolve
you want to test my ability to go to limit you want to see where here's where it's
where it's where it's where it's where it's where it's more than
game style son you're talking tiredly too much about your dream you talk too much
about your vote say it once say it twice no more than three times and get
to work. You already know what it feels like. Quit to throw in the town, to sit on the couch.
Do you know what it's like to give everything that you have and push and persevere?
You've got to make the opportunity happen. You've got to be fired up. You've got to be hungry for it.
You've got to have the desire to push yourself. Are you hearing work, work, work, work, work.
Grind, grind, grind, grind, ride.
I'm going to fight. I'm going to work. I'm going to press toward.
I'm going to learn. I'm going to do everything in my power. Every single day, I'm going to do everything in my power to become a victor and not a victim.
Let me tell you this. The wolf that is on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf that is climbing the hill.
And so you gotta get hungry and you have to stay hungry.
You have to guard your hunger.
I need you to develop a healthy dose of self-assurance.
When you feel like you can't, when you want to let go,
when you are surrounded by doubt, fear, and anxiety,
you are going to have to pull up your resume
and remember all of the things
that you have made it through.
There is no excuse
but not living up to your fullest potential.
No excuse.
What do you want?
Somebody told you to just graduate high school,
graduate college,
get a job, work that job,
the rest of your life,
have kids, get married and die.
Somebody told you that.
What do you believe
you were destined to do?
And then you've got to spend
every single solitary day,
for the rest of your life going after that dream.
What is your dream?
And when you think there's nothing left in the tank,
look yourself in the eyes and say, I can't.
I'm on government's assistance, and I run out of money,
and I had to buy pamper's for Giuliani.
And I had $11.42 in the bank.
And I remember wrapping my son in a towel for two days.
I remember the second day, like you said, I had my hand on Jelani's stomach and I said,
don't worry, baby.
Mommy will never be this broke or broken again.
And that day, what shifted for me was I was willing, and I don't know if this is going to sound crazy,
I was willing to completely die to any form of me that I had been so that I can birth the woman that I was
become. The reason why a lot of people won't become who they want is because they're too attached
to who they've been. And you hear it all the time when people say, I've always been this way.
Okay, well, if that's working for you, keep doing that. I knew it wasn't working for me any longer.
I had hit my version of rock bottom. So I was willing to let go of everything and everybody.
See, another reason why people won't get there is because the doorway is for you to fit through.
You're trying to carry everybody else through because you're trying to be rescue 9-1-1.
And you got to rescue you first.
I am much more valuable to my family and to my community because I was willing to let them go.
Go through the door myself, teach myself, learn myself, condition myself, and then come back and get them.
I'm much more valuable to them now.
But I had to go through a window time of 10 years of judgment.
You leaving us hanging out with white people all the time.
You're going to these crazy countries.
We don't know what you're...
I have to be willing to allow my conviction to make me inconvenienced.
See, we want to grow, but we want to stay liked by everybody.
I was willing to be my own rescue at the risk of your approval.
Most of us aren't like that.
Facebook is example.
liked. Well, I woke up and I like myself today, so your like is extra. My job is to like me first.
I was willing to say every day, Lisa, you like you? Lisa, are you proud of you? Lisa, are you
playing for a lot every day before I checked in with anybody else? I was willing to inconvenience
my entire life, my entire life. I was willing to disrupt my entire life to buy my future,
to buy my possibility to give my dream a chance. See, we're not supposed to talk. We're not supposed to
tuck our dreams in on the pillow when we get up in the morning.
We're not supposed to leave them at home.
We can go and fulfill somebody else's dream.
We're not supposed to do that.
That's not what we're wired to do.
That's not who we are.
Your human spirit doesn't care about the economy.
The human spirit doesn't care that my son's father went to prison.
The human spirit doesn't care what's happened to your family.
The human spirit doesn't care about the past.
You may have been molested or your family may have been broke or you may have been betrayed or you may have a
divorce, your human spirit doesn't care about any of that. Your human spirit simply says,
what's our command for tomorrow? What do you want to create? It's not keeping score. Your brain
is keeping score because your brain is designed to keep you safe. Your soul, your intuition,
your human spirit is designed to make you sore. When you get to the edge, your brain will
always tell you to step back. It's always going to tell you to step back.
because you can fall. Always, it's going to tell you step back.
Because before you fail, the last time you did this, you saw someone else fail, you could hurt, you could be off work.
It's going to tell you, it's designed to keep you safe.
So you have to be willing to play between your brain and your soul.
And on some days, you've got to just listen to your soul.
And you've got to say, I'm a leap, I'm going to get to the edge.
Most people are at the edge, and you're standing at the edge, and you're watching everyone else fly.
That's pit my ride.
Watch my crib.
all this stuff, you know, watching people's lives on Facebook.
You're at the edge, watching someone else live,
wondering what it's going to be like when you jump without ever jumping.
And I'm just here to tell you, jump.
Because only three things can happen.
You're either going to jump and fly.
Are you going to jump and fall on something soft?
Are you going to fall down hard?
Either way, you're going to get back up.
You already know you got what it takes to get back up.
Your greatest fear is not that you will fall.
The greatest fears that you will live a full life and never fly.
That you never leaked.
You're not afraid of dying.
You're afraid of dying before the world sees who you really are.
Before they really get your fingerprint,
before they really feel your breath,
before they really get your contribution,
before they really feel you.
That's what you don't want to happen.
You don't want to leave this place without us knowing you were here.
All I'm doing is giving my dream a chance.
And I'm not extraordinary.
you don't get off the hook.
You don't get to be a lot off the hook.
I'm an ordinary woman who chooses every day
to make one more extraordinary decision.
Everything that I need to get back up, I have in me.
If I don't have what I need, I can go get it.
Once I figured that out, the world was my, like, playground.
The question is just, where do I go get it?
I don't know about that. Where do I go get it?
And I don't come from a learning background
where I was a great student.
I wasn't, you know, my highest grade in school was a C-plus.
And when I got a C-plus, I did the happy dance.
And so I didn't have a background where studying was natural for me.
But when I realized that if I go study something and I learn it, I own it, it's mine now,
man, it was crazy because all through school I struggled.
The last time I took an English class, my English teacher told me I was a weakest writer
she ever met in her entire life.
Lovely.
Yeah, lovely.
And the same year I took a speech class in my second year, I took a speech class.
speech teacher. He said, quote unquote, Ms. Nichols, I recommend you never speak in public that you get a
desk job. And so I... That's mean. Yeah, it just, it's just, you know, it was, it was demotivated people,
sad, sad people, hurt people, hurt people, make other people sad. Bottom line, don't take it
personal, hurt people hurt. See, most people want the convenience of transformation without the
inconvenience. Required, required for transformation. So my grandmother says, and I love to repeat this,
Your conviction, what you're passionate about, your conviction,
and your convenience don't live on the same block.
They ain't even in the same zip code.
So if you want to have a conviction for something,
you have to sign up, sign up to be inconvenience.
We're trying to find convictions and passion and breakthrough
on the inside of our box.
Well, when you realize that the box doesn't even exist,
like someone made up, oh, you're playing outside the box,
so we all bought into, there's a box.
Well, I don't live in, I don't even own a box.
I don't even want to get in your box.
You better come out here because I ain't getting in there.
And so when you start thinking like that time, all of a sudden, everything is possible.
So I, you know, I disrupt people when I say, you want to make me extraordinary because it lets you off the hook.
What if the God that we call God, the divine, whatever your faith is, what if there's no partial?
It's not going to give me a hook up and not give you one.
Not going to give me an opportunity to not give you one.
I'm just going to go after it.
If I die, I'm going to die on a treadmill, like Wilson said.
I'm gonna be on the trail mill running.
You know, I'm not, I'm just not gonna stop
because I believe all things are available to us.
I'm just willing to go after them.
Are you willing?
And then that is so disruptive
because then you've got to make a decision
because it's easier to live inside the parameters of,
well, as a black woman,
well, as born and raised in South Central,
well, I'm academically, I'm dyslexic.
I'm dyslexic.
I wrote seven books, I'm dyslexic.
So just knowing, like, I'm not perfect.
What I do really well is I manage my imperfection well.
And so we're all waiting for perfect.
It's an illusion that will never come to you.
And it's an excuse to never show up and play.
Your story is not meant to be your fortress.
Your story's meant to be your fuel.
Any story.
Like the beauty of me being one of the top 1% earners in America is that I was on government's assistance.
Right.
Like that's the beauty.
Like, come on.
It wouldn't be a big deal if my family was rich.
Whatever.
Like, I'm supposed to do something.
The beauty is that when you show.
the little engine that could story, like, I'm not going to run fast, but I ain't going to stop running.
I might slow down and have to breathe and catch my breath, but I'm not stopping because
I believe all things are available to all of us, and good people should do well.
Because when good people do well, good people just do more good in the world.
I'm that same girl who ran track for Dorsey High School, who struggled to get through high school,
who got kicked out of college because I couldn't afford to stay.
That was on government's...
I'm that same girl.
I'm that same girl.
I don't forget her.
I'm also that same woman who runs a multi-million dollar business.
I'm also the same woman who has seven bestsellers.
I own both of those.
I own all of it.
I don't shrink to my greatness and I don't live in my saga and my sorrow.
If you can own your brilliance while owning your imperfections,
if you can own your giant while owning your smallness.
If you can live in duality, constant duality,
the freedom will be earth-shaking if you can live in that.
See, either you don't want to be as great as you really are,
and you're trying to dim your light so that others won't feel insecure about themselves in your presence.
And so you keep playing at 79 watts when you know you're supposed to shine at 159 watts.
And you keep checking the temperature of the room to see what the room can handle
versus just giving the room you and let them, if your light's too bright,
then let them put on some shades.
Can you give yourself permission to live in the duality of your imperfections and your smallness and what you're learning and what you still have to learn in your greatness and your brilliance and your light?
Can you allow them to coexist and then serve them up to the world?
To love you, to see you, to inhale you, to judge you, to leave you, to love you.
You're just, some of us are just as afraid of being loved as we are to be left.
If you go where you've never gone, do what you've never gone. Do what you've.
never done and say what you never said, you'll become the woman and the man you've always
known yourself to be. You will need to normalize in your mind walking alone. You've got to get up
on your own. You've got to be able to make big decisions on your own. You're going to lose weight
on your own. There are a myriad of targets you have to hit by yourself. Oftentimes, there's the
people that go away into a very healthy isolation to equip themselves, to condition themselves, to educate
themselves to come out and power. And so you got to get into this workspace where you can do it
by yourself. It doesn't matter if it's the office. It doesn't matter if it's the gym. It doesn't matter
if it's the court. It doesn't matter if it's the field. It doesn't matter what arena you are
stepping into. You got to get to that place where you don't need attention. You don't need recognition.
You don't need the accolades. You just want to put in the work. And the next time you surface,
The next time you show up, it's game over.
If you throw me to the world, see a wolf is willing to leave its pack behind and to find a new one.
The time is now, and we must adopt the wolf mentality.
Be relentless, resilient, never quit.
You know what it feels like to be fractured and falling into pieces.
But you gotta silence the voices in your heart.
the voices in your head that are telling you you need a shortcut, you need a cheekhole.
Eliminate the negative self-sabotaging voices. Find a mirror and tell yourself, I got this today.
I got this today. I'm going to make it. I'm going to create it. I'm going to build it. All I have is all I need.
Resources may come and go. People may come and go. But I've got a vision and I've got the pro-vision. And I've got the determination.
and the discipline to hit my aims and to punch through my target.
Can you do this thing without attention?
Can you do this thing?
Without public affirmation, can you do this thing?
Without people telling you that you are everything to do?
Without people applauding you and say you're great, you're awesome, oh, you're amazing.
Can you do this thing alone?
Can you be your own cheerleader for a moment?
Can you be your own hype man for a moment?
Can you tell you I'm good enough?
I got this.
that all I have is all I need.
I believe in friendships and partnerships
and collaboration and counsel and advice.
But there are some things in life
you are going to have to do alone.
There are some Marines you're going to have to show up here.
And nobody is coming.
Nobody's coming to save you,
nobody's coming to help you.
Nobody's coming to show you a shortcut.
You've got to figure this out on your own.
For most of us,
nobody's going to feed us.
you gotta feed yourself
you want to lose the weight
you want to reach your target
your aim you got to put the work in
you got to feed yourself the food that is required
to power the body
that you want
it's not about trying to be a lone ranger
more than it is about
taking responsibility
and prioritizing
yourself first
there are some things in life
nobody's going to show up.
It's all on you.
I need you to find a mirror right now and tell yourself, it's all on me.
It's all on me.
This one is all on me.
When I go get this degree, ultimately, I gotta go get this degree.
When I go get this certification, ultimately, I've got to get this certification.
I've got to finish strong.
I've got to condition myself.
I've got to go get the education.
I've got to get out of bed.
I've got to go to the gym.
I've got to eat clean.
Nobody's going to feed.
me I gotta feed myself if you're listening to me right now in the gym on your walk on your run
you're lifting your building you're creating you're imagining something I just need you to push
and I need you to believe that you don't need the spider that you don't need the training wheels
that it is your time that it is your turn and you no longer need help you no longer need assistance
in this area of your life push like you have never pushed because
Give it everything you have because that spotter is not going to be there for you for the rest of your life.
If you want to grow one millimeter more, if you want to push, just push a little harder.
Everybody wants to grow a little bit taller, so we got to push a little bit harder.
Life is lived on levels and I can't bring my spotter with me.
The spotter cannot walk with you all of your life.
At some point, you've got to say I got this.
I got this.
Putt!
Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself, I got this.
I got this.
If I have to do it alone, I will.
Because to fulfill this vision, to fulfill my destiny, ultimately, I am depending on the God that put the dream in my heart and myself.
With tears in your eyes, with broken hands and a heavy heart, if nobody is there, and you are in a room by your own.
or in a room by yourself, start alone.
But get sorted.
Help us coming.
But everything rises and falls.
Oftentimes the people that you wanted in your life will reject you and that rejection is protection.
It is a blessing because it's the same people that rejected you that will need you and that will rely on you.
Come on how many people?
Have you tried to help when you were bleeding, battered, and broken?
How many times have you called for help, and the help was toxic?
Come on, how many times have you asked for advice, and the advice brought more adversity?
Take responsibility for yourself.
Take control of your life.
I need you to understand your worth and stop playing the blame game, because nine times out of ten,
the people that hurt you, you brought them into your life.
And so you've got to reflect over the past.
You have to acknowledge the present
and you have to cast vision for your future
and take accountability.
And kill the self-condemation.
Stop tearing yourself down on the inside.
Stop saying one thing, thinking another,
and acting in a whole other way.
How you think is how you talk
and how you talk must be how you behave.
Because your thoughts will determine your behavior
and your behavior determines your future.
And so everything's got to line up.
So you need an alignment, an internal alignment.
I can't align you.
You gotta make the decision to align yourself.
You can hear a speech and make a decision, but every day you have to make that decision.
That decision has to evolve into discipline.
And discipline turns into mastery, and mastery builds momentum.
You're not going to always get it right, but you gotta keep going.
When you start alone, you possess a power that few can handle.
I want to encourage somebody out there who's thinking about quitting and giving up.
Somebody who has been praying for years for things to turn around.
You're thinking about quitting.
You're thinking about giving up.
There are some times in life where you fall down and you feel like you don't have the strength to get back up.
So it's like one step at a time.
You just want to step out of it, to step out of it, to step up.
out of the whole race, the whole business,
the monstrosity of being alive overwhelms you.
We cannot deny the forces that once we attain a certain level of pleasure,
then we're going to get used to it.
But if it gets redirected or it doesn't happen the way we want,
well, that's when the suffering comes.
You take steps in this direction, you take steps in that direction,
sort of get lost along the way, and sometimes you fall down.
But if I fail, I try again.
and again and again for as long as I try there's always that chance of getting up and it's
not the end until you've given up and just the fact that you're here should persuade you
that you have another chance to get back up there's still hope where is there happiness
well happiness is found within within the heart or found within the whole world everything
and nothing it's not in one particular thing but it's
in everything.
I know how it feels to have a broken heart
and I don't feel as to be alone.
But I just want you to know that it's not
the end. You're thinking
about quitting. You're thinking about giving up.
You've got to reevaluate and attack life again.
And it's tough, it's hard.
It's like being not back almost.
Even though you're successful, it's like being pushed back again.
Yeah, whether you win or you lose, the depression still sets in, right?
Yeah, yeah.
The number of teens, Gen Z,
20-somethings suffering from depression and anxiety and loneliness.
Loneliness is through the roof.
This is one of the biggest issues that they're dealing with on college campuses.
We rise to our maximum potential when we're of service to others.
Going back to anxiety, going back to depression, going back to loneliness,
I truly believe that's the answer.
That's the way out of any kind of mental illness.
mental illness. It's like I'm going to make myself a better person, I'm going to make the world
a better place. And everything that I'm doing, I've got these two chariots, and I'm going down
this road, or I'm going down this road, or I'm going down both together. I've been there a lot
in my life, especially before my car accident, my teenage years, then the first woman I ever loved,
we had a big breakup, and that breakup set me down in depression and suicidal planning. And
And it's tough to dispense advice to people other than get help.
And I'll share why.
Because that time in my life, I had so many people coming up to me.
You know, my friends would come into my dorm room.
Let's go do something.
And you just, there's just, the hope is lost.
And what people, I think, made a mistake of trying to do is height people up.
Everything's going to be okay.
You're going to be great.
And what people need who are suicidal is serious psychological intervention.
They need to seek support and help.
And outside of that, when they do get that support,
the first thing a great therapist is going to do
outside of the emotional reflection work of
why are you here and what has caused this sort of pattern for you,
they're going to get you starting to get some momentum.
The most important thing is when you are super down,
outside of finding that emotional reasoning for where you are,
is to start getting,
momentum because with momentum comes hope with momentum comes motivation with momentum comes
you know that feeling that there's a reason for tomorrow and so it's as simple as just saying okay
what are three things I'm going to do today and I don't mean that like a lot of personal
development guys would say like we're three big goals for the day I'm like dude sometimes that first
goal is I'm going to shower today I'm really in shower today
I'm going to walk to the library and come home and that's all they got.
Like literally that's all they got.
And you got to honor that struggle when you're in that place.
Like know that where you're at, it is okay that you're there.
And now you're going to need help.
And now you're going to have to set up some daily practices just every day.
Win a little bit.
Not like win your dreams, not like crush through goals.
Not like be badass.
Not like, no.
Just momentum, man.
Most of the guys I've dealt with in that position who were suicidal outside of their therapeutic
work, I said the most important thing you can do is win the morning.
I don't want to ever be flippant with the advice to people who are dealing with that situation
outside of get some help, get some momentum, and be okay if that momentum is really small.
Because it will build.
Trust that that momentum builds and trust those gloomy and bad, dark days.
Trust that those are going to be there.
They'll get less and less and less as you learn how to cope,
but they're going to be there.
And so when they're there,
I mean, outside of teaching people to bring the joy in my life,
I teach people to honor the struggle.
Honor the difficulty.
When we honor the struggle instead of hate the struggle,
we can really achieve extraordinary things
because our mindset's in the right place.
It accepts, like as soon as you honor the struggle,
you accept that, oh, of course, there should be struggle here.
I should honor this.
When you go to the gym to work out, you like honor that this is going to be hard and honor that process of getting better and the more that you bring honor to it the more your psyche builds with strength and you get a little bit of that esteem back
because you see yourself engaging something versus avoiding it and running away
You see yourself connecting with something and giving it reverence
Like I have reverence for the difficulties of life. They may be better
So I don't want a friction for you.
life. I'm not interested in it. You know, the, the, the, I like to say sometimes that, you know,
the journey to greatness begins the moment that our, you know, deep desires for comfort and ease
are overpowered by our desires to connect and contribute. I mean, because you, I look at veterans
in the past. It was, you know, I think in World War II was called Shell Shock. It was all these
different things, but it was not acknowledged in the way that it is now, but I think it needs to be
talked about more.
I think the more things are talked about, the more comfortable we are, and the more we can understand them.
When I woke up one morning and saw that in a tweet that Prince Harry came out talking about his depression, it made me really happy.
Because I have been places and someone has said, well, you lost an arm or legs, so you had a right to be depressed, and I stopped him.
I was like, depression is real.
You don't even have to go through something traumatic.
Some are caused by, you know, something traumatic.
Some can be a chemical imbalance in the brain.
And I feel like if you had heart problems and saw a cardiologist,
well, everyone would be concerned about you.
You would know you're doing better.
And it would be open and honest with the crew, anybody you work with.
Yeah.
But the most complicated organ in your body, if you have a problem with it,
suddenly there's a, we don't want to talk about that?
No, and you can get over it.
And that's what people need to realize.
You can be cured.
You can get past it.
That's what we need to realize.
You know, the reason I did is because when I was in my depression,
I thought I was alone.
I didn't open up to anybody.
So I thought someone's going to read this and it's going to help them.
So I just, as nervous as I was about the book, I kept thinking that one person is going to read it.
Well, now it's open up this dialogue and I'll go and I'll speak and we'll do Q&A and people want to talk about.
I gave a speech in Florida and it was, it was an older crowd.
Like I was going to say, it was, they were old.
And I speak with so my heart.
And I gave my speech.
And as I was closing, I kind of mentioned some depression because I was coming out of the winter months.
And it hit me again this past winter.
And I went and saw the doctor.
And so it was on my mind and it came up.
And as I was saying, I thought this generation of people probably aren't connecting to what I'm saying.
When I walked off the stage and they lined up the amount of people that thanked me for talking about mental health.
And here I was.
I thought they didn't want to hear.
I thought I was stepping out of line.
No, it needs to be talked about it because it's, it's.
It's not just this generation.
It's people are realizing more and more that it's an issue.
And the more we talk about it, the easier it is for people to be honest with themselves and get the health they need.
Someone did not wake up this morning, but you did.
And if you can hear this message and you can see my face, and guess what?
We are both in the right place.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to understand something.
Reason and purpose.
There is a reason for you as well.
There is a purpose for you.
It may not always go to where you want, but at the end of the day, you have to understand that there's a reason for you.
And there's a reason why things happen.
Once those things have been figured out, now you're going to move on to purpose.
Purpose has already been written.
It has a bottom line to it.
There is no, was this supposed to happen?
There was no coincidence attached to it.
Purpose means exactly that.
That means it was meant to be.
It is going to happen no matter what you think, no matter what I think, no matter how any of us feel in this world.
Purpose has already been written.
It's a new day.
It's a better day.
It's a bright day.
And it's all about you.
And it's most importantly all about conducting that business.
I want to remind you about something.
Stop chasing people.
Stop trying to get people to like you.
Stop trying to get people to approve of your well-being.
you are who you are and what you are.
To see yourself who you are, know who you are, know where you come from.
If you came from hardships and you're still here, you have power, you have strength,
you have courage.
What you have to do is use it.
Put it out there.
Ignite that fire and keep going.
Don't you give up now.
Don't you say that you don't have it anymore.
I know we've been there.
I know I've been there.
Many people have been there.
They didn't think that they could carry on,
but they kept going anyway.
Between reason and purpose, there is you.
You have to be willing to understand
that you have to work day in and day out
and be the best human being,
the best person you can be.
And through it all, the good and the bad,
You have to stand strong.
You got to do the very best you can to get through it.
Be strong.
Be productive and be as successful as you can possibly be.
I want you to continue to live your life the best way you can.
When you go through the darkness, search for the light.
Because dark days will come.
But I'm here to let you know that you are powerful.
You got to lift your head up and stop looking down.
It's difficult out here for a lot of people, including myself.
A lot of people are hurting.
A lot of people are going through a lot of different things.
They're experiencing so many different dramatic changes in their lives.
But the thing about it is that you can't be surprised about these things, but you need to be prepared.
You should never walk through life assuming that every day is just going to be a great day for you.
Believe me, I know.
And I know there are many people out there that can say the same thing.
But it's all about how we deal with it and how we overcome it.
It's all about rising up, people.
Being able to get up, get out, show out, and do your business.
That's what it's all about people.
You've got to have the ability to know what it means to rise up,
being able to rise up from the ashes of negativity, doubt, and fear.
These things are definitely designed to pull you down,
to break you down, and take everything from you.
But not on this day, not on this watch,
and not on this hour.
And for the rest of your life,
continue to shine and do the best you can
and be the best makeup that you can be within yourself.
Rise up.
Rise up from the ashes of negativity, doubt, fear.
And understand that even your emotions
can play tricks on you.
So take advantage of your life,
take control of it.
Reason takes time, understanding it,
being able to deal with the dudes and the don'ts,
the ups and the downs.
There's a reason for it.
And sometimes we may not.
like it but when that purpose starts to knock on your door that's it that means
you have made it whatever this situation may be that purpose has been fulfilled
it is already here it was already meant to be it's it happened it's there so do
the best you can leading to your purpose because one thing for sure we are
never gonna with none of us are gonna be here for long sooner or later you got to
leave this planet but make the best
of the life that you have on this day and the day after.
So if tomorrow comes for you, tomorrow comes for me,
let's get out there and make the best of it,
because tomorrow is another day.
And if you are part of that day, that means you got work to do.
Success doesn't owe you.
You owe success.
Success doesn't work for you.
You work for success.
And that work takes time.
Everything that we do in this life takes time.
It's a process.
But are you prepared for the test?
Are you prepared to fight?
Are you prepared to push through it?
Even when you feel that you can.
We need gratitude.
And we need to be humble.
But we must always stay hungry.
Be the best makeup of yourself.
Don't try to compete with other people.
Don't try to get involved with other people
what they're doing and their has-beens or whatever the case may be.
The bottom line is, are you happy and are you truly feeling right within yourself?
Are you righteous within yourself?
Are you going about life in the right direction?
These are the things that you have to convince yourself day in and day out,
because there are so many people out here that are trying so hard to be like everyone else.
You don't have to do that.
Who you are, what you are and what you are made of,
and what your true purposes in this world has already been designed.
You just got to put into work and make it manifest itself.
You will get to where you need to be.
It's not going to be easy.
It's a challenge.
And sometimes it can be a struggle.
But what's wrong with a little struggle?
That's how you get better in life.
That's what makes you a better person.
That's what's going to make you better.
And anything you're doing life, don't get comfortable.
Don't get complacent.
Understand the struggles are going to come.
Understand they're going to be challenges.
But love yourself.
Get inside yourself and love you.
No matter what.
What's going on in life, no matter what you're dealing with in life, just understand.
Circumstances will come.
Circumstances will happen.
Life is life.
Just make sure you try to make your life the best way you know how and keep living strong each and every day.
