The link is in the description. I thought if you were a good person and you do right by people, that people will take your kindness and give you kindness back. But what I realize is sometimes in this world, the kinder you are, the more they try to play you like a fool. I was delusional. I'm nice to you, you're nice to me. Don't always work like that.

Sometimes it's nice to me and I take advantage of you. So some of y'all, you delusional. I just need you to do me a favor. When you are delusional, you can never get the outcomes you want because the premise in which you're operating from is a lie. So you've got to work from truth. And some of us don't want to deal with truth because it's so difficult. E.T. you dropped out of school.

E.T. you grew up in a certain community. In order for you to be able to do what you need to do like a Tony Robbins, there's some things that you don't have in your arson that if you can just admit you don't have. have it in your arson, then you can go get it. But until you admit that you don't have it, you'll never be able to do it. So I need you to be a huge favor.

I just need you to be real. And a reason why a lot of y'all don't want to be real, because some of you would rather be in a lie and at least have a lie than not have anything at all. You already know that job. Your boss ain't about to catch you out. You're just scared to quit and start your own business because you don't know if you're going to do well or not.

You know you shouldn't. Come on. Be honest. You know you still shouldn't be at that job right now. Let me see your hand. Let's just be real. Let me see the hand. You know you should have.

Raise it high. Don't play with me. Raise it high. You still shouldn't be at that job, but you're delusional. That one day is going to be your day. That one day you're going to merge your job and your calling together. It's not going to happen. You're going to have to just leave. He gave me permission to say I am brilliant. Yeah, I might be different, but I am brilliant. Yep, I might be loud, but I am special. He gave me permission. And so the first thing I want you to do today is I want you to keep saying to yourself, I am, I am, I am. And for those of you who hadn't quite started yet, I am. And for those of you who got started, I am.

Why? Because I can't believe that I started with a GED, and that GED turned into a four-year degree. One, two, three. One, two, three, I am. One, two, three. I am great. Listen to me, and I don't owe anybody in the policy.

I am phenomenal and I don't owe anybody an apology. I am going to do great things and I don't hold anybody an apology. I am. I was created to be great. I was created to do great things. I was created to have great things and I will no longer ask others for their permission. That Eric Thomas that grew up in Detroit and had like that Detroit mentality, while I love it, it doesn't transfer to every community.

I had to, let the dream destroy you. Let it strip you. Let it remake and mold you. Don't be afraid. Some of you are afraid. Listen to me, wherever you're from, if that's where you're from, if you leave, you can always come back. I promise you. I promise you when you come back, you can get right back into conversation.

Ain't nothing going to change. I promise you, whatever world you're from, if you go to other worlds, you can always go back to that world. The version of you that you are right now is a blessing, but it won't take you to the next level. What got you here won't take you there. So let the dream destroy you, tear you down, redefine you, build you back up, make you stronger. The first version of Eric Thomas, the high school drop out, that guy would have never been able to stay in here and help you. I had to destroy that Eric Thomas. No matter who you are, if you're average or if you're good, when you get around greatness and you stay around greatness, you start listening to great podcast and reading great books and you start.

hanging around great people and you start becoming a part of great masterminds God you just evolved and I don't know what happened but every year I went from a high school dropout and homeless to I started to be coming every single day more of who I am and I can't believe it my next goal is to win the Nobel Prize why I had to come up with something I am giving you permission to be great I'm giving you permission to be everything you were called to be to do a everything that you're capable of doing to have everything you're supposed to have. Listen to me, you have to be careful when you hang around average people.

All they're going to do is tell you what they can't do. And that's okay that they can't do it. But that has absolutely nothing to do with us. We can go from being homeless and high school dropouts to having PhDs, writing books and becoming the voice of a generation. We can do whatever we believe we can do. and we don't need anybody's permission to do it but ours. You are brilliant.

You are special. Yes, you're different. And yes, you're not doing it to traditional route. But greatness is upon you. You got to keep going. You got to keep going. You got to keep going. In the 12 years to get the four-year degree turned into a master's degree.

And the master's degree turned into a Ph.D. Guys, I can't believe it. I went from being a high school dropout. From being homeless living in abandoned buildings to eating out of trash cans to Dr. Eric Thomas to writing six books. Guys, are you hearing what I'm saying today? Stop playing small and start playing big because I am. All right, all right, all right. Let's stop on three.

One, two, three. I am. One, two, three. One, two, three. I am. I am. Listen to me, I was literally homeless. I was coming to church, not really taking showers.

I wasn't brushing my teeth. And this guy looked at me and said, you need to get your GED, you need to leave Detroit. I'm going to send you to college because greatness is upon you. I was 16, 17 years old. I had never spoken a day in my life. And this guy saw it. Like he saw something to me that I didn't see.

And he gave me permission to be where other people said I couldn't be. He gave me permission to believe I was great. He gave me permission to think I could change the world. He gave me permission to start something that had never started in my family before. He gave me permission to say, I am, I am. Listen to me very closely. When you graduate and you get a job, if you want to get paid, you never say no. You never say it can't get done.

Don't you ever say out your mouth it can't get done. Even if you feel in your heart it can't get done. You don't say it out loud. You let the broke folks say that. You let the folks they fire in first say that. You always say it could get done. Even if you don't think it can get done, just say it and try to make up something. I'm being real.

I'm being real. I don't deal with people who say, or they get paid real low in my company. They like maintenance when you say, I don't know how. Or I don't think it can be done. I'm like, okay, cool. You won't be like at the end of the year when bonuses getting passed out, you won't be getting no bonus. is I need you to kill the noise. I need you to embrace the I am. And however you get it done, I need you to get it done.
