The link is in the description. I want your dream to be so clear, so vivid. That when you wake up in the morning, all you got to do is step in your dreams. When you wake up in the morning, look at your goals. Your goal's going to tell you what time to get up. Are you hearing me? Your goal is going to tell you who you should be hanging out with. People ask me quite a lot of time.

Eric, should I do this and I do that? I can't tell you, but your goals are going to tell you how much sleep do you need? You might not need to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning for your goals. I don't know, but your goals are going to define what time you get up, how you live your life, how you move, when you say yes, when you say no. Like when you write your goals out, you will know, no, can't do it. Yep, that's for me. Or you hear me.

So write it down and keep writing it down over and over and over. What do you want? Look, you eat however you want to eat. You do whatever you want to do, right? And you don't know what you want. When you're not clear on what you want, like you get up whenever you feel like it, you don't have no drive, you don't have no passion. And so when people ask me eat, where your passion come from, where your drive come from?

I know what I want. Every single day, I wake up, boom, and I go pursue it. Every single day, how far will your will take you this year? Because there's some things in life you're not going to get. They're not coming to you. You've got to go take it. There's some stuff that you can't even just earn by doing the good things, doing the right. Listen to me, there's some stuff that you're going to get it.

You've got a will to get it. It will happen. It will come to fast. But it's not going to happen at your desk, like at your job. It's not going to happen in the basement at your crib. It's not going to happen with you in the bed dreaming about it. It's not going to happen with you in the shower with thinking about it. There's some stuff, and I'm telling you from experience,

you know I was homeless in an ice cream drive. You know that, right? You know I was eaten out of garbage cans. People say, how did you get to where you are? I will did. Because something's only come with heart with will. Until you work on your will, stop giving up and stop quitting. Stop giving in. Every time stuff get hard. December is going to look just like last December to you. Life will break you if your will ain't strong. Every game matters. So be phenomenal or be forgotten. Now we gotta keep climbing. We gotta keep moving. We gotta keep moving. We gotta keep going.

You're not where you are because you don't have an opportunity. The reason why I've been telling you don't be average, don't be good, try to be great and be phenomenal. The reason why I told you that is because, listen to me, you got to understand. You have to understand if you stay average and you stay good, you'll never get to where you're trying to get to. Great is about growth. It's about going from the Wright brothers to the smaller plane to a 757. Are you hearing me? That's 757 in you.

And you still operating on the right brother's plan. And I'm telling you if you average, you're going to be forgotten. If you're good, you're going to be forgotten. Nobody's going to remember you. Listen to me, you got to get away, you got to run from average like a plague. And then when you get to good, you got to make up in your mind that good is only going to going to be for a few moments. It's just a, it's just a platform. You're going to get out of good and you're going to go to great.

And then you're going to be like, you boy, man, for real. I'm trying to transition. I'm trying to transition. I'm trying to go from break, man, look, you see it. It's your dream. It's your goal. And so you got to make an investment in it. If you need 10 grand, you'll make the investment, right?

Stop asking people to sponsor your dream, to make your goal become a reality, to babysit your child, to rear up yoke that what was birthed in you to take care of it. Hey, listen to me, stop begging. Invest in yourself. I'm going to tell you something. If you invest in yourself, what you will discover, that other people will invest in you. But I'm telling you, ain't nothing gonna change if you can't see it. So I ask you a question, what do you want? And I ask you, what do you want?

Because the days you don't feel like getting up out to bed, the days you feel like quitting, give it up, and give it in. Listen to me, the only thing that's going to get you up out that bed, the only thing that's going to make you strive past that obstacle, get past that brick wall, and it's coming. The only thing that's going to make you get up and do what you to follow to do is what you see. You got some special inside it. You're not only a special person created a special time.

You have something special in you, and this is the year for you do special things. All right? So this is the year to do the impossible. I need you to drive possible. What do I mean when I say drive possible? I mean, okay, let me get an example, right? You got a tree, right? If you hit a tree, I'm talking about a big oak tree.

If you hit an oak tree a thousand times and a thousand different spots, what's going to happen? Absolutely nothing. But if you hit an oak tree a thousand times in the exact same spot, you know what's going to happen? You're going to bring it down. You're going to do the impossible. So what I need you to do for me, Monday I need you do the possible. Tuesday I need you to do possible. Wednesday I need you do the possible.

Thursday I need you do the possible. Saturday, Sunday, I need you to do the possible. We're going to drive it home. What am I talking about? I'm talking about being consistent. I'm talking about regularity. Listen to me, I'm talking about consistency. Once you can get that momentum going, once that momentum,

it gets going boom is no telling where you can go so the first level was all about you all about you understand there's nothing you can't do there's nothing you can't add there's nothing you can't be but that's over now now we got a build on that what are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want what are you willing to give up you want to be the best at your company you want to make more money than you've ever made you want to travel the world i don't know i don't know you want to build your second home i'm not sure what you want but i need you to understand that you got to give You can't stay where you are and go where you're trying to go. And that's the problem.

Many of you, you love your comfort zone too much. You love it. You love security too much. And I'm telling you, you can stay where you are. You can't stay where you are. And try to go where you're going. So what sacrifices this year are you willing to make? What are you willing to let go of?

Well, are you willing to give up? All right? What are you willing to part ways with? Right? All right. And so that's why we say, you've got to want this thing as bad as you want to breathe. But before you can want this bad as you want to breathe, you gotta know what you want. For real, I've been out of the country.

I did that. I got the passport. I seen the world. I did that. I got the degree. I did it. I've been there, done that. I'm married.

Yup. Got the house. Yep. Picket fence. Yep. Two kids. Yep. I got it.

And now I'm trying to let other people fix it. I'm trying to let other people feel what it feels like to break a cycle. I'm trying to let other people feel what it feels like to make things. dreams become a reality are you hearing me. Don't nobody else got to see what you see, but you got to see it and you got to see it clearly. So what is, and when I say see it, here what I'm saying. I'm not talking about visual. I'm talking about in your mind.

I'm talking about using your imagination. Like, you ain't got to pay for that. There's no limits. There's no boundaries. Like, stop letting people stop you. Stop letting people tell you if I was you, I wouldn't do it. You ain't me. You're not me.

So of course you don't see it. Of course you don't think it can be done. Why? Because you can't do it. But just because you can't do it don't mean I can. thing through and they not hate you stop calling them haters they just don't see what you see they're not in your mind and then when I talk about seeing it I'm not just talking about your imagination I'm talking about purpose and in your heart but

believe in it happens faith 100% that whatever it is you've set out to do that you can do it that you've got everything that you've got what it takes to do it you are unique you are special you listen to me you would just die in a way that nobody else was you got there is when they when that blueprint was made for you listen to me they threw it out there's nobody else like you so you got to do your favorite you gotta believe this this ain't about today this ain't about tomorrow this is about everyday why because everyday matters and when you learn to perfect every single day you gonna wake up and see yourself doing things

you never thought were possible
