The link is in the description. You've been an underdog in your relationships. If you've been an underdog in the wait room, if you've been an underdog in life, if you've been an underdog financially, I'm talking to that person who grew up without a father. I'm talking to that person who grew up without a mother. I'm talking to that person who didn't grow up with handouts.

I'm talking to that person who maybe if you did, grew up with a little bit of handouts, but maybe you were misunderstood and you were overlooked and you were undervalued and you were mishandled and misguided. You got a dream to buy a house. You got a dream to win a fight. You got a dream to get your family out of the hood.

You got a dream to lose weight. I mean, whatever that dream is, whatever you have, that goal, that improbable feet, once you get it scent, once you smell that, once you get a feel for a taste of it, and the underdog is an innovation. who refuses to live in the dark. They refuse to remain in obscurity.

They refuse to live in stress and overwhelm and anxiety. There is somebody who is tired. Like when you come to the end of yourself, you got to get tired. Tired. Something inside of you has to snap. You got to get tired of being broke. When you get tired of being coined the loser, being coined not enough,

overlooked and undervalued and underpaid, you got to get tired of that. When you get tired, that's when you get tired. The underdog is a person that comes out on the playing field and says, okay, I've been in this place of pain my whole life. I've gone without for so long. This is the day you make up in your mind where I will take the throne. I'm talking to that person that is acquainted with pain. I'm talking to that person that knows what is like to come from me.

nothing and so you literally have nothing to lose and the only thing that's in your hand is a dream the only thing that's in your head is i have what it takes to get to the top of that hill because i am not the wolf on the hill i am the wolf climbing the hill i have nothing to lose counted out overlooked undervalued, misguided, betrayed, somebody who has been really dishonored, disrespected, somebody who has lost everything. Who people stop believing in it is a very desperate person. They're climbing a heel.

They're trying to achieve a dream. And when you are desperate, you are very dangerous. And a dangerous man or woman is somebody who is a disruptor. They don't play by the rules. They are coming for blood. Your story is not your fortress. Your story is your fuel. When you doubt the underdog, it's like music to his ears.

Tell me I'm not good enough. Tell me I'm not strong enough. Tell me I won't finish. There is this intrinsic emotion, this instinct. You have just awakened the lion in me. Because they said you can't do it. They say you don't have what it takes to make the investments. They said you don't have what it takes to lose the weight.

They say you don't have what it takes to lose the weight. They say you don't have what it's. takes the hang on to your marriage. Everybody has been counting out. Everybody has been doubted. The underdog is not a person who doesn't feel pain, doubt, and fear. The underdog is a person that turns that pain, that doubt, that fear into their fuel. Nine times out of ten, the underdog always comes out with the wind because the underdog was more hungry.

If you came from a place where you had nothing, that's everything that's everything that. that you need. Everybody wants a piece of the pie in any facet of life in every arena you walk in. There's pie. And the thing is is that that pie doesn't get any bigger.

The pie never gets any bigger. It's the disciplined, desperate, dangerous mentality of an individual that says, I'm going to push whoever I got to push out of my way to get my piece of the pie. Those are the people that get the pie. because the pie doesn't get any bigger

and the pie does not pursue you. You have to go after it. So whatever it is that you're going after, whatever it is you feel as though you've been destined to do, are you willing to push whoever, whatever, out of your way to get your piece of the pie? So if you listen to me right now and there's anything in your life that is defeating you,

if there's anything in your life, it seems like an improbable feat. You've got to smell blood. Once you get that scent like a hound dog, you get that scent. You see what it's possible. You see what you are capable of in the face of adversity, in the face of challenges, in the face of everybody that says you are not enough, you're not tall enough, you're not big enough, you're not wide enough, you're not fast enough.

It's in that very moment that the dream's got to get bigger than the disappointment, than the fear, then the anxiety, then the stress, then the overwhelm. It's got to get bigger. The dream, once that dream gets bigger and you get a scent for that dream, you start to smell that dream, there's nothing on planet Earth that can stop you. You become armed in danger. You are the most dangerous individual on planet Earth. And so an underdog is just somebody who refused to live in the setback.

It is a person who rebels against your reality. Your reality of me is that I'm not enough. Your reality of me is that I'm not qualified. Your reality of me is that I'm not quick enough. I'm not fast enough. I'm not tall enough. I'm not linear enough. This is your reality.

My reality of me is that all I have is all I need. I'm coming after everything. You said I couldn't have. If you're going to come back from the setback, the number one thing you have to do is make up your mind that you are no longer going to live in the pain of the past. Pain is inevitable and it is unavoidable. And when we talk about this underdog mentality,

the underdog is just a man or a woman who has made up their mind. They are no longer going to live in their setbacks. They are no longer going to live in your reality. Your reality of me says I'm not enough. Your reality of me says I can't do this. Your reality of me says you won't finish today. My reality says all I have is all I need. I'm not living at my setback any longer.

I'm moving forward. When we talk about a dog mentality, the dog scrambles, the dog barks, the dog runs after whatever it wants. When a dog is hungry, No out of his way. Because it's coming for blood. And the reason why you don't have what you want

is because you are not hungry enough. You are going to have to push, push, push. The wolf that is on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf that is climbing the hill. The underdog is still trying to prove himself. The underdog is still trying to tell the world, I can do this. Everyone has been an underdog

all the way back to Little League and believe that you didn't have what it take of making people believe that you have what it take to get the job done as you run every single day and they say you're not qualified enough matters is that you're willing to work your behind off to change their mind frame

embrace being the underdog embrace being the individual that they say cannot do it. This is what life is all about. When we see the Underdog win, it puts belief in us. The Underdog represents all of the people that's looked at as nothing.

We are the true champions. On Super Bowl Sunday, Underdog, about watching the small people, the people that they say, are not that talented, watching them succeed. We had the whole world take our belief out of our head and stab us in the heart with a dagger and told us do not believe.

But as they continue to stab, we continue to fight. You don't know about the nights when we cried. Help us going. Watch the underdog as more bite than that pit bull. Keep fighting. The underdog is truly the greatest. Yeah, yeah, this is the year of the combat. Filling training.

How it feels like from us in our paradise, ain't to our hearts, and we will make them forever. I'm chasing. Working for that dream. Face, open your gift. It's that dream, dream that will lead. to your paradise. Aren't you tired of McDonald's?

Aren't you tired of living check to check? Your dream is your million dollar check. To turn that apartment into a palace, let's go take what belongs to us. The underdog is truly the greatest.
