00:36The link is in the description.I like to think about it as this.You can be two things at once.You can be jealous of somebody,and you can also allow that to inspire you at the same time.You can be afraid, which is true,and you can still find the willpower to push yourselfor discipline to push yourself forward.
00:58human beings are very complexand when you start to understand you're not just one thingit gives you freedom to ride the waves of feelingsto ride the waves of experienceand to kind of go down and gooh this is a terrible thingand know that you will be able to come out the other side of itevery single good thing that happens in our lives
01:26everything comes at a costthere's nothing for freesomebody with an incredible careerhas no relationship with their kidseverything comes at a costbut at the same timeeverything we struggle with has opportunityand lesson that goes with it
01:41it's always balancedand when something horrible happens in someone's lifeor something goes sideways I always askbut what did you learn?Life is about the pain of being aliveand when you know thatI find that very helpful to mewhen I come back to that I'm like
01:59I'm struggling, I'm disappointed here, I wish this outcome had been different, but when I can come back to like, oh, but that's what life's all about?So what do I do now?You breathe it, you experience it, and then you move on, and you heal in the dealing.You've got to learn to be more resilient about these things, because that is life.It's not a, it's not a bed of roses.Life is tough.And there's just a part of you, I think, in anything you're doing when you're struggling, is this really for me?Is this my destiny?
02:33Should I be doing this?And we misread failure from some sign.You know, is this a sign I shouldn't be doing it?You know, is this a sign I am, you know, not cut out for this?Instead of looking for signs that you can win, right?And so I spent the first five years literally trying to find ways to quit,trying to find ways to get out, struggling and struggling and struggling.And I went broke.
02:54I lost a car.I had the water turned off in my place.People don't realize that there were just years and years of grinding.and struggling and worrying in the beginning.And then I made some mental changesand some shifts that altered my life then again.I think you can win.I'm positive you can win.
03:14You just need to start changing your mindset.It means that you need to look at yourselfand figure out who you are.What are you good at?What are you like?How are you gonna get to the placethat you want to get to?Success is waiting for you.
03:27Winning is waiting for you.Achievement is waiting for youbecause you are a winner.You are focused.You are determined.You are a fighter.One of the hardest things, which became one of the greatest realizations, is truly coming face to face with myself and realizing that even though I have done extraordinary things in terms of my own thinking patterns, that there was a level to which I was still on the run, that I was darting off to a coffee shop or darting off to an airplane.And all of this racing around kept me from having to truly stop and stand with the woman in the mirror and just be still and figure out what do I really...
04:16You're a person, you're human, you're alive, and you matter.Life is so short. Your existence is temporary. It's temporary. It won't last forever.But are you ready?Are you ready to take on the unknown?Are you prepared for it?Are you ready to succeed?Are you prepared to move forward?How much are you willing to give of yourself?
05:01Are you ready to fight for it?The truth is, you are going to be broken over and over again.But don't you dare give up on you.Do something with your life today.don't waitjust godon't sit stilljust move
05:27I'm hurtingbut I got to keep movingit's okaywe all get scaredwe all get pushed downbut we know that we got to get upbecause staying downdoesn't get the job done
05:46don't be afraidto be honestdon't be afraidto be truthfuldon't be afraidto be differentwe are uniquewe are special
06:03we are all destinedfor greatnessso you got to do the work nowyou got to make the necessary sacrificesit's timeladies and gentlemento stop waitingand start doing
06:19but you ain't got the right to give upyou don't have the right to quitI want you to keep livingand I want you to keep looking upand don't look downlife is so shortlifehow beautiful it is
06:41true desirein the heartthat it's that you haveto be whatever it is you want to be that is that desire for good is God's proof to you sitalready to indicate that it's yours you already have it claim it discipline desire whether onecan curb it is a deeper question altogether which is what do you desire what makes you itchwhat sort of a situation would you like most people allow their fear of failuretheir desire to succeed.
07:24If you have this burning desire inside of you,and you'll know what that feels like if you have it,you just need to go full force,block out all the negativity and everything elsethat is around you telling you that you can't do it.What do you believe you've been destined to do?What talents, skills, giftings, and abilitiesdo you possess to support your desire to do it?
07:49You could literally go accomplish anythingin your life is you have this extraordinary desire to achieve them.Here's something I do know, sometimes desire waits for a trigger,waits for something to happen.Who knows what the happening may be?A song, the lyrics, a movie, the dialogue, a seminar, a sermon,a book, an experience, confrontation with an enemy.Whatever the experience it is, it's so valuable.
08:21You have to electrify the desire that you have.You know what you want.Listen to me.Only you know what you're capable of doing.Only you know what you dream about.Only you know what the next level is for you.If you want to be what you want to be, have what you want to have, do what you want to do.Man, you got to have that desire.
08:43You against you.I'll let you know that you got to make the opportunity happen.You got to be fired up.You got to be hungry for it.You got to have a desire to push you.to push yourself.It calls from not talking about our wanting.It costs from having this desire, knowing that I got an opportunity.
09:01Every day I wake up, every day I wake up, I got a chance to make my dreams to come around.If you say that getting the money is the most important thing,you will spend your life completely wasting your time.You'll be doing things you don't like doing.In order to go on living, that is to go on doing things you don't like doing.which is stupid.Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doingthan a long life spent in a miserable way.
09:39If you can find something that you have an innate ability for,and we love doing things to have an innate ability for, right,have an innate talent, in our DNA for it,and then go, now I'm ready to educate myself, learn, hustle,go after, see, create opportunities, bam, bam,it's going to be in the prism of my,how I measure every situation where I am going forward.hunt it down and do what you've got to do to get better at it.
10:03And then it's hopefully something that the world can demand.That's a sweet spot.Now you're paying your rent, man.Now we've got food on the table.Now we're rolling.Now we're waking up with some purpose.Now we're waking up with, you know, yeah, it's going to be a hard day to day.But I don't know.
10:19I'm not dreading Monday morning.You know?May I want to sleep in, but I'm building something.I'm building something here.I'm in construction.You have the ability to do more than you can ever begin to imagine.It's like if you want to have everything you could possibly want and more,then be a good person.
10:42The better a person you are, the more likely that is to happen.There's no better strategy.Don't just do it for the money.You can make a lot of money.When you find something that you love, you will study it.Something that you love,it becomes a difference between being in speaking and speaking being in you, that you willbecome not just confident, but you will become competent on that.
11:10Visualization is a gift to your heart and your soul. It's a gift. Because if the idea is the seed,visualization is the fertilizer. Life is not easy. It is not. Don't try to make it that way.It's not fair, it never was, it is it now and it won't ever be.Do not fall into the trap, the entitlement trap, a feeling like you're a victim.You are not.Get over it, get on it.And yes, most things are more rewarding when you break a sweat to get them.Take everything away, and then what is it that you see in the mirror?
11:49Do you see there is the loving heart?There is the strength or the world.the wind power inside this body. There is the discipline inside this body. There is a loyalperson standing. There is pride inside of this. No, you're not famous and no, it's not.Before you were ever an actor, before, what are you? What were you? Before you were McConaughey,before you were in Texas, before you in America, before you were an actor, before you're amovie star, before you were a celebrity. Come on. Get a, look, look, come on. Get a,it all on and it was a purge. You're the only son of you can't get rid of. So we're going to duke
12:40it out for the rest of our life here or we're going to figure out of it along? You believe we,you know, we know from the science and we know from experience that if I exercise, it's a processand it's good for me even though I can't measure it in the short term. And if I eat welland I keep doing that, I know it'll keep me healthy for the long term of eat more leafy greens.and less sugar, I knowI just have to stick to this processthat 100%100% of the time it works.
13:09How long does it take to get into shapewhen you start exercising?Nobody knows. Neither does any doctor.Sometimes a little less time for some peopleand sometimes a little more time for others.We don't know. We just know 100% that it works.And so I had to get usedto the idea professionally that I'm going to do things
13:25that I know work, but I won't be able to measure them.And I just have to be okay with the factthat it works, like exercise, like eating right?And so that's where, you know, learning an infant mindsetand letting go of annual goals.So people are like, you know, what's your annual goal?I don't have any because I can't predictwhat I'm going to achieve based on arbitrary timelines.
13:51And it's real important in the visualization.You can't see it over there.You have to see it right here.You got to feel it right here.Like I am, it's all I am.I am. I am in my dream home. I am in my dream relationship. And then unpack what that looks like. But most importantly, unpack what it feels like. And when you have that emotion in this moment, all of a sudden you stir up something that I don't think we'll ever go back to sleep. It'll go, okay, let's go get that.Develop your mind. You don't get in life what you want. You get in life what you are. You have greatness in you. That you have the ability to do more than you could ever begin to imagine.You have greatness in you.
14:32There's a presence in each and every one of us that waits and listens to the voice of the genuine in yourself.It will be perhaps the only God you will ever have or hear.And if you cannot hear it all of your life, it will be spent on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.When you recognize your greatness, no one will ever pull your strings.You are different.You were created on purpose with a purpose to manifest that purpose.through you.But you will never exercise authority and dominion over your life
15:05until you exercise authority and dominion over what you are not.Abundance is just about overflow.It's about overflow.That means that if there were a saucer under this cup,abundance would be everything.This tea flows over into the saucer,and I can feed you from my saucerbecause I have filled my cup up enough.
15:31I use my cup for me and I feed you from my saucer.And abundance is saying, I have a saucer in my relationships,feel with great experiences.There's a saucer of my health and wellness.I have so much bountiful health and vitality that I can show for you.There's a saucer with my spirituality that I can pray for you.I can forgive the perceivably unforgivable and love the perceivably unlovable.And then there's a saucer for my finances.
15:53And that in every area, because abundance is a 360 experience.See, wealth is singularly focused.Wealth is about your money and your possessions.That's wealth.Okay.but abundance is 360. I have a lot of very, very wealthy friends. They're wealthy, they're not abundant.Your ability to put something into your own mind where nobody else has impact on.And only you know that day in, day out, you just still walk this past and feel for yourself
16:27how it's getting real because it's unbroken.because there's nobody who can interfere.Make that dash dance.Make it rock this planet.Make it unapologetic.Take no prisoners.Play full out.If you're going to run, run fast, run hard,
16:51even at the risk of hitting the wall.Make your dash dance.Greatness is about being willingto be used to your highest level of possibility.even when it's uncomfortable, even when it's unpopular, even when you're alone, even when it'sinconveniencing, you're still willing to lead. Good times create weak people. Weak peoplecreate bad times. Bad times create strong people. Strong people create good times. My whole thingis leaders anticipate losers react. If you can anticipate what's coming, you can really
17:35take advantage. If you wait till it hits you, you're in trouble. The biggest problem peoplehave is they think they're not supposed to have any. Problems are the fuel for growth. It's like,if you don't have any problems, you're either a liar or you might call them challenges, it feelsbetter. I understand that. Anybody who doesn't have problems, he's either totally asleep at thewheel or they don't have much of any kind of a life. But then there's fulfillment. And fulfillmentis living what you're made for?Is a lack of confidence?No, it's a lack of mission.
18:11I like winning.I like being the best of what I do,so I'm not going to settle for less than that.Why would I?Michael Jordan, making a thousand shots before you take a break.So you look at Jordan or you look at, you know,LeBron, or you look at anybody who's the best of the worldof what they do, and you go, aren't they lucky?
18:29But if you actually study them,you'll see they're doing things, they're practicing,and private things that make them certain in public and they get rewarded for what they do in public.Yeah.And you got to do the same.When you just know you're going to mess up, it's not going to be perfect, you're going to forget that line that you really wanted to say,but just put all the energy on the audience, everything starts to change.If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.
18:56It's a shift in your identity.Every single day, six days a week.What matters?A few subjects, your body, because your energy matters.That energy is low, everything I just said is worthless to you.Because when you're low energy, you don't use your full intelligence or ability.You need emotion.If you don't know how to master your emotion, emotions start wars.
19:19Emotion creates peace. Emotion gets your children.Emotion is what can make that business work or fail.And most people don't know how to direct their own emotions.Let me be conscious about feeding my brain things that are going to give me not only inspiration.not only inspiration, but insight and skill and tools.68% of the Fortune 1000 were started in either a recession or a depression.Well, the first skill you got a master to be great is the ability to recognize patterns.When humanity recognized the pattern of the seasons, the whole world changed.
19:53Because we went from hunter-gatherers trying to survive from place to placewhere we're exposed to everything, to wait a second.If we plant in the springtime, we protect in the summer, we reap in the fall,and then we hang on to some of that so we can live through the winter.That created communities for the first time,and then eventually cities and states and countries.So that changed the world.A little change a person's life is when you realize there's also a set of seasons in your own life.
20:28It's time for you to recognize.Your talents, your gifts, the mark that you want to leave on this earth as you go to places that maybe you've not been before.The leaders know the importance of getting uncomfortable.They know that nothing grows in their comfort zone.They, you are prepared to write.up and be the person that you want to follow.Leaders know how to lead their own ship, their own vessel, in the direction that matters to them.Very few people, and better yet, get other people to follow in their dream.
21:32The best out of you and the best out of people you lead.It's essential to realize your burning desire.desire who you want to become, what you want to achieve, and recognizing that every single thingthat you do, every day, you're right in your future. Take a moment to imagine that you can seean image of yourself in the future. It's maybe five years. It's you being even better than you areToday, it's you who's...Doing what you need to do each and every single day,is you healthier, stronger, more confident.
22:32The person you have become and recognize.It is your destiny.Feel what it feels like.To have put the work in to have developed yourself.Are the leader.You are the master of your own life.It's time to rise up and inspire yourself.Be the better version of yourself today.
23:17You can be your very best every single day.It's like people want change more than they want to change.For those of you who want to change,You don't have to be wired.You're already wired to be critical.You're already wired to peep out flaws.You're already wired to do it.What you need to do is take that same energy
23:48and apply it to yourself.You have to go intentional and deliberate.How many times do I criticize othersversus how many times I criticize myself?How many times do I try to correct others?How many times do I correct myself?If it don't drive you, don't want that,So whatever it is you see that you don't have, if it drives you go, I want that.
24:11And then you got to change.But you can't say you want that and you don't want change.Anytime you want anything you don't have, you have to do something to get that because if you were the person that can have it, you would already have it.You'd have it already.You don't have it.And so you want it.So you have to become something different.You didn't have that, but you went after it.
24:35Be clear.What do you want?specific like you need to be clear on what you want and I was willing to gothrough whatever I had to go through to get to get what I wanted I knew what I hadthat's not what I wanted it doesn't matter how I'm living right now because I'mgo live and so it's difficult for you because you don't have no clarity you'regonna figure out who you are why you tick what you do and then you're gonna beable to take who you are and what you do and make money I want you to be brave
25:04enough when something's not working do it rightYou can't keep doing what you were doing before because you're losing.But if you can't implement the necessary changes in your life,you won't be able to improve yourself for your situation.If you want to change your situation, you've got to get any new information.I just knew what I wanted.I knew what I wanted.I was clear on it.
25:34I'm committed, but I don't know that I'm convicted.Here's what I want you all to know.We have to be careful because some of us.us get an attitude because we're looking for things that people who are convictedwhen we just committed to. But I just want you to stop expecting what people with convictionshave when you just committed. Stop doing that because now you mad like, oh, okay, so coachain't going to start me. You just committed. You ain't got no conviction to the game. You justplayed when it's time to play. That person is up all day, every day, running.
26:12Lifting way, Michael Jordan was convicted about basketball.Kobe was convicted about basketball.That's why Mike is who he is.Not because he was the greatest ever,but the conviction that, like,did nobody want it as bad as he won't?He was convicted.Some of us, we let our feelers, like I ain't feeling it.
26:30I'm not with it.That's why I know I'm not convicted to run it.Because I always run when I feel like.I never miss the day when I felt like.I've never run, though.when I've not felt it.One of the things you have to do is operate in conviction and not commit.If you're going to win, if they're going to put your name in the number up there,
26:54you just can't play this game because there are other teams that want to do exactly what you got to do.So what you got to do in practice is, one, two, three.In practice.If you can't dominate in practice, you can't dominate when the lights come home.I get up every morning at 3 o'clock.I dominated 3 o'clock.morning. I dominate when everybody's sleep. I dominated four in the morning, six in themorning. At eight, I go back to bed. Why? Because y'all just getting up. But I'm committed to it.
27:24Your everyday routine is cleared. Come on, we have a vision, we have a mission, we have avisionary, we have a mission. Our goal is to move the needle, not surround ourselves with loyal peoplewho ain't competent. I see a true colors, a trial or a tribulation here.And now you're wondering if I'm going to do what I said I'm going to do.So now you're going to switch the game up.Okay.I want you to see where you are so you can make the adjustment.I need you to eat, sleep, breathe, dominate.
28:00We're not playing to the level of our competition no more.Everything you do is going to be in a way that nobody else does.Paying attention, being locked in and focusing.Paying attention, being locked in and focused.Let's do me very closely.I take it personal when I do what I do.I don't care who we going up against, one, two, three.Wake up every single day.
28:25I was here before I was here.I was up this morning here.I've been here before.I was in this spot right here.I was talking up right here.I envisioned it.I saw it already.You can't win it if you can't see it.
28:42You cannot be a prisoner to your preference.You cannot be a prisoner to your own preference, meaning that just because it's what you prefer,if you lose and you lose it, period.And so you don't make your preference the God.You make winning or losing the God.So if you're losing, you have to do something different so that you can win.You have to self-assess, and you can't let you off the hook because it's you is two of y'all.It's a winning you and a losing you.
29:18And you do deserve to be a winner.When you're trying to score a touchdown,there are individuals designed to stop you from scoring a touchdown.That's their job.They're supposed to stop you.Your job is to not care about them trying to tackle you,and you keep moving forward.You dominate when you feel like it,
29:36and you dominate when you don't feel like it.I've dominated my sleep pattering.I've dominated my laziness.I've dominated procrastination.Where I go, stuff happens.I dominate.There are no shortcuts.Discipline is you do it so long, so hard, and you're so passionate about it,
30:01that even when you don't feel like it, you still operate at the highest level.I dominate.And I realize that most of you in the room, the reason why you're not going to get to where you're supposed to get to,is because you don't know how to get there.Now, the other thing I've noticed is that people who have more clarity, have more conviction.And you start like, oh man, I want that.I want that experience.But you don't change as a human.
30:29So you can't get that experience.Like, it's not possible for you to have it.You can't change your life without changing your mind, bro.You have to play to win.You have to be competitive.Wherever you are, whatever your space is,this is my space right here.You have to be competitive.
30:50Whether you like it or not, whether you feel comfortable or not,and you have to get into a space where you got that dog,it's not for the weak at heart.You can't always be the most talented in the room.You can't always be like naturally gifted, naturally talented.But watch this, you can be the most competitive.I'm saying y'all don't get it.You got to wake up every day and compete.
31:12You got to go after it.I'm saying people don't get it, bro.It's crazy.People want change more than they want.change. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the craziest thing, bro. When the time comes, what would you leave behind?What legacy will be left behind to remind others of your greatness, of your losses, of yourvictories, of your sorrows? This is a short life that we all.have and it's not easy it's not easy living it every day but I guarantee you
32:08this there's nobody in the world that can do you but guess what ladies andgentlemen you still got life in that body your heart's still beating your mindis still functioning so you still got to do something to be somebodyto be somebody that they can respect to be somebody that they can look up to today you must learn toto celebrate the life that you have today you must continue to go forward and not look back stand upand be strongdo not allow yourself to give updo not allow yourself to give in
33:06trust in your abilitiesso when I say it againI said with convictiontrust in your abilitieslive the life that you have been giventoday is all you havedon't look for nothing elsebut today
33:29make the secondthe minute, the hour, the day count.And leave tomorrow alone.It's go time.Today, for the life you have been given.Fight until you have nothing else left to fight for.Live and live your life the best way you know how and who you are.And just go.
34:10Go and attack with purpose and will and strength.Is it going to hurt?Perhaps.Is it going to challenge you?Good.If you have a challenge, embrace it.Go through that challenge.Sometimes it's hard to get back on track.
34:39It's not impossible, but it's a tougher journey ahead.While we are journeying down this path, we must come to a conclusion that there's still much work to be done.And no matter what you are dealing with at this point in your life, it is only a temporary thing.Don't hesitate now.Don't hold back.Keep your mind, focus.Life is short.In fact, it may even scare you.
35:21But you can't hide from this.Hurting.But I got to keep moving.I'm down a little bit.But I got to keep moving.Feel like doing it.But I got to keep moving.Broken.
35:43Sometimes it's hard to heal.But you can't stop.You can't stop living.You can't stop growing.You can't stop fighting.Throughout the days of your life, you have struggled and you have been through so many circumstances that many people will never understand.But you made it and you kept pushing on.You did not give up.
36:14Sooner or later, we all got to punch that clock.So carry on.And don't give up.And don't give in.And do the best that you can to have the right attitude to make your existence matter.Right now, it's in your hands.No one else, just you.So stay strong.
36:50Be productive.Never quit.And from the bottom of my heart, leave your mark and conduct your business.Yes.
