Honestly, expressing yourself.
Now, it is very difficult to do.
I mean, it is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky
and be flooded with a cocky feeling
and then feel like pretty cool and all that.
Or I can make all kinds of phony things, you see what I mean,
blinded by it, or I can show you some really fancy movement.
But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself
and to express myself honestly,
that, my friend, is...
Very hard to do.
If I were to choose to live my life over again, I wouldn't live it in this way.
What I wasn't aware of when I went to medical school and when I was a physician, for decades,
it's how driven I was to justify my existence in the world.
There's a fierce sense of independence.
Hour, 30 minutes of TV a night, Max.
Mom would always say, why are you going to watch someone doing something when you can go out in the world and do it yourself?
Turn that damn thing off, get outside.
Had to be outside.
I go get out in the world, go hustle, figure it out, be home and dark.
You escape competition through authenticity by being your own self.
If I had to summarize how to be successful in life in two words, I would just say productize yourself.
That's it.
Just figure out what it is that you naturally do that the world might want.
The Queen of England died 18 months ago.
She ruled an entire nation and accumulated more wealth than 99.9% of humans.
And yet, you haven't thought about it, except for right now.
No matter how big your dreams, you're going to die.
Everyone will move on.
Do what you want.
It sucks to not be liked, but it sucks more to not be yourself.
And mom would always keep on to make sure you're loving yourself.
I remember breakups, heartbroken.
She'd let us mourn.
She was a great ear, very sensitive ear to that kind of pains like that, broken hearts.
After a day, she'd crank up the ACDC, man.
And go like, now, just get up.
You're worth it.
Her loss.
Come on.
Get out of bed.
Uh-uh.
Come on.
Quit open.
Lift your head up.
Come on, come on, buddy.
We got this.
Uh-uh.
Her loss.
Give you the day.
No more than that.
The first thing you got to realize
is that you got to love yourself.
It's about self-love.
Start understanding that if you're going to do something with your life,
you got to fall in love with yourself again.
No, I didn't grow up.
on that side of the time.
No, my mama don't have no network.
No, I don't know a whole lot of people.
No, I'm not at a country club.
No, I don't play golf, and I don't plan on playing no time soon.
But I'm still gonna be successful.
I'm still gonna get to where they are.
Why?
Because I owe it to myself.
Can't nobody stop me but me.
You need to get rid of them excuses,
and you need to stop pointing fingers at people.
And you start pointing fingers at yourself.
What did you not do?
I said, empty your mind.
Be formless, shapeless.
shapeless like water.
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.
I have had a real challenge over my life
in terms of feeling like these are impossibly huge shoes to fill.
There's no possible way that I will ever
live up to the bar that he set, the impact that he had.
And that's made me really hard of myself at times in my life.
And what I've had to come to terms with is that I was born into this circumstance
because I am fully capable of being who I am.
You don't have to be a replica of anyone and how they're living their life.
All you need to do is focus on what makes you great
within yourself.
Everybody thinks that they put their own self-doubt
on themselves.
It's actually not how it works.
Outside forces got into your head
and then made you self-doubt.
You think it's your voice.
Nobody's voice hates them in the beginning.
Understand that any level of self-doubt
or insecurity that you have in your head
is literally been put inside of it
and it's not you doing it to you.
It will change your f-
in young life. So I like to tell people to go back to their earliest childhood memories of things
that really excited them before they got mixed up with parents and teachers and all that. Other
people telling them stuff, you know? Like for me it was words and language. It just was entranced
by the sound of language itself, right? It was like music to me. You had something like that.
When you get that your journey has less to do with you than it has to do with everyone
who will be blessed enough to cross your path.
Then you're willing to do the thing you don't want to do.
Say the thing you don't want to say
so you can hurry up and be the person you've always known yourself to be.
You've got to stop self-hating yourself.
Do something that's going to make you a better person.
Make an impact in this world.
And it takes patience.
It takes understanding.
Most important, ladies and gentlemen,
it takes faith within yourself.
That's the problem with some of you.
You always want to blame other people.
You always want to hold other people to the fire,
but you're not holding yourself to the fire.
You just said you're giving 50%.
You owe you an explanation.
You owe you an explanation.
You need to look at yourself in the mirror
and say, why are you only giving 50%?
What's wrong with you?
You need to put yourself on punishment.
You need to tell you no more TV, no more snacks, no more desserts, no more, no, we're working out now.
No, no more alcohol, not right now.
Not no, I can't handle it right now.
You need to tell you that you owe you something.
The art of expressing the human body.
I mean here it is the natural instinct and here is control.
You are to combine the two in harmony, not if you have one,
If you have one to the extreme, you will be very unscientific.
If you have another to the extreme, you become all of a sudden a mechanical man, no longer
a human being.
So it is a successful combination of both.
So therefore it's not pure naturalness or unnaturalness.
The ideal is unnatural natural naturalness or natural unnaturalness.
To all are you watching here, come close to the screen and listen.
People don't have to like you. People don't have to love you. They don't even have to respect you.
But when you look in the mirror, you better love what you see.
You better love what you see.
Be uncomfortable. Get yourself in a situation when you feel a little bit about a challenge.
You're feeling something about being challenged. You're understanding that challenges are good for you.
Challenges are going to make you better. Gonna make you stronger.
gonna push you through any adversity that you may face and life.
But nobody's coming to see you.
There's no night in shining armor.
And the people that say they will, they don't really stick around for long.
The reality is this.
This whole life thing was never really meant to be about anyone else.
You're kind of supposed to be the hero of this story.
Even if you feel weak right now, even if you feel alone, you feel down, you feel like you can't do it.
You can't.
And you will.
All you have to do is show up.
So, show up today.
You have the power to do more than you can ever begin to imagine.
Don't underestimate yourself.
You don't know enough about yourself to become a cynic.
And so you've got to challenge yourself to access that power that you have within you.
You're more than a conqueror.
I'm amazing when you don't think I'm amazing.
I love me even if you stop loving me.
You can say the nastiest, meanest, evil as shit that you could ever conjure up.
It will never change the way I feel about myself.
It takes faith to jump off on the edge.
It takes faith to step into your purpose.
It takes faith to step into your destiny.
It takes faith to pull away from everything that is familiar,
to step into uncharted territory, to become the person you were born to be.
It takes faith.
This is my time.
This is my time.
I'm bright enough.
I'm bright enough.
I'm old enough.
I'm young enough.
I've experienced enough.
I'm wise enough.
I understand that I am enough.
That I am enough.
Self discipline is self-love.
If you want to be happy, you have to love yourself.
I love me.
independent of anything that anybody could ever say has nothing to do with being arrogant and egotistical.
It's just a matter of knowing and being aware of self-worth.
I love you.
If you make it to the end of this video, I want you to write, self-love is the cure to self-hate.
Self-love is the cure to self-hate.
If you're going to do it, do it.
Say what you can do.
Do what you say.
If you can't do it, don't say you can do it.
do it. Don't over leverage yourself. Don't over leverage the decision and then jump in and kind of
dip a toe. I think I'll try it out. Now think if you're going to try it out beforehand,
but when it's time to go, dive. Finish it, find out. Come out the other side. Don't leave it and go,
if I just foot it, uh-uh, that keeps me up at night. I think it keeps a lot of us up at night.
When you half ask something, you just don't know whether you failed or succeeded, got what you
want or didn't get what you want, finding out and looking in the mirror and going,
I didn't half acid. I went all the way. I found out and that ain't for me. Or I found out and you damn right that is for me. That's a great place to get to.
I think part of the challenges in life is a lot of us are running around half assing ourselves, half fooling ourselves, not full of ourselves, not studying ourselves enough, not studying our own self enough, not patting our own self on the back when we do get what we want enough.
Not cracking our own whip on our backside when we do get out of line even though we knew better.
I wish we were more full of ourselves that way.
Someone said this to me before.
Matthew, you're so full of yourself.
And without thinking, I was like, well, who else am I supposed to be full of?
That's a good line.
And I stopped out and I was like, that's exactly what I meant.
I wrote that down.
I wish more people were more full of themselves.
I think we should take some time to be able to look in the mirror and own that thing that we pulled off and go, good job.
That's what you wanted.
That's what you got.
at the same time be able to, as we do more often, look in the mirror.
When we fail and go, eh-uh, bogey, you did not pull that off.
Give others and yourself more credit.
Happiness, you can't guarantee it, but there is a science to satisfaction.
You can look at habits that engineered less pain in your life.
Maybe more pleasure, but at least less pain.
and that's that's a win strength leadership power authority guidance patience
are God's gift to us as men we have to cherish that not abuse it I prayed this morning
to be a better listener didn't work so well it's
We're human.
You get back up.
Yes, I've been high up on the mountain.
I've been blessed.
But that's a slippery slope.
Yeah.
And it's lonely up there.
People don't know that sign.
We did not come this far to just break down and lose now.
I'm a winner.
I'm going to win.
True desire in the heart, that itch that you have,
whatever it is you want to do,
that thing that you want to do to help others and to grow,
and to make money, that desire, that itch, that's God's proof to you.
Sit beforehand already to indicate that as yours.
Aspire to make a difference.
You are what you are in this world.
It's either one or two things.
Either somebody.
Never give up.
Without commitment, you'll never start.
But more importantly, without consistency,
you'll never finish. It's not easy. It were easy. There'd be no Denzel Washington. So
keep working, keep striving, never give up, fall down seven times, get up eight. Ease is a
greater threat to progress than hardship. So keep moving, keep growing, keep learning, see at work.
While it may be frightening, it will also be rewarding. So you got to get out there
You got to give it everything you got, whether it's your time, your talent, your prayers, or your treasures.
Because taking risk is not just about going for a job.
It's also about knowing what you know and what you don't know.
It's about being open to people and to ideas.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.
because the chances you take, the people you meet, the people you love, the faith that you have,
that's what's going to define you.
Life beautiful it is.
How amazing it is to be able to rise up in the morning and have that sun shine on your face
rather than on your grave.
What makes life so unique and so beautiful?
It is beautiful because whatever you have that you may be facing, what you may be dealing with,
life is still good.
Life has so many moving parts, but life is always good.
Every day is a new day and another opportunity that others may not have.
This life that you have been given, this life that you are temporarily holding on to,
This life that has been just given to you for only temporary reasons has more meaning than you can never imagine.
So many people in the world take life for granted instead of realizing that you have to take the opportunity to live at the best way you know how.
Now on this journey of life, you're going to face a significant amount of circumstances.
A significant amount of challenges.
You're going to fall into areas that you cannot understand.
And maybe it's not in a position for you to understand at that moment.
When you start to feel that you are in a position that you don't love your life,
then shame on you.
Because your life is a beautiful thing.
And no one deserves to ruin it.
No one deserves to control it.
No one deserves to steal your joy.
Your life is your life, and you have the right to live it the best way you can.
You must discipline yourself and take full control and responsibility for the outcome
or whatever it is that you are seeking at this moment.
