So it's okay to fail forward. Now, how you cope with this fear of failure is what's most important. This was going to help you stay persistent, most importantly in adversity, opposition, humiliation, retaliation, even the trauma of the past.

These coping skills is what's needed to get up. Adversity is inevitable. You will be knocked down. You no longer have to dwell on the past. Why? Because you have coping skills to cope with the trauma. skills to cope with a mess from the past, learning to deal with stressful situations,

instead of letting fear paralyze you, these coping skills will help you manage the perception of self-doubt and fear. Understanding, nothing but opportunity can come from failure. Another coping skill, lower your expectations. You may be able to be able to be. asking yourself where do I start? Ron, I don't know where to start. You're telling me I need

coping skills where do I start. Let me help you out. I'll give you a few. COVID skill number one, distance yourself from the source of stress. Now we talk, coping skills is going to help you solve the problem, but you cannot operate in chaos. Coven skill number two, engage in problems. problem solving, understanding that these are the skills that's going to help you not only cope with life, but setting healthy goals and healthy boundaries.

Copac skill three, I just said, discernment. And the saying is, you are who you hang around. Who are you hanging around? What decisions are you making? What choices are you making? Are they only benefit in you or your community? Coping skill three. Ask others for help.

We said there's nothing on earth living for self. The water doesn't drink itself and the flowers does not smell themselves. Another coping skill. Challenge previously held beliefs. You don't have to see it to believe it. If you can believe it, you can see it. This is why you're fighting right here. Listen, kid, there's going to be time in your life where people are going to try to rain on your parade.

They're going to try to tell you what you can and what you can't do. But this is why you're fighting. You fight for them. You fight for all them nights. You've watched your mother sit on the edge of that bed and cry almost every night. Where you and your brother, they couldn't do anything and it hurt you. You remember? Listen, I don't want you to ever forget why you're doing what you're doing.

You got to understand there's so much greatness that lives inside of you. And if you just get through this and continue to fight, there's greatness on the other side. And I understand that you may be in the dark today. But doesn't the beautiful roses of the field begin in the dark? What you're going to do? You're going to give up or you're going to keep going. What is it? that stands behind that passion, purpose, desire that has you waking up every single day

to go get what's yours. Because my faith is bigger than the size of a mustard seed. And whatever it is that stands behind that passion, purpose, and desire that has you waking up every single day. What is it? What is it that gives you unwavering conviction to go get what's yours? to do what you want to do because there was a point of my time in my life where I didn't have a faith in myself

where I didn't believe in myself in I began to pick myself up dust myself off so and I ask the question what is it that continues to drive you push you to continue to get up every single day after you've been knocked down

you've been here before is it your daughter at home is it your mama because as a I reminets and watch my mama sit on the edge of that bed and cry every single night. Are you back yet? Because whatever it is that does stand behind that passion, purpose, and desire that picks you up every single day, it better be strong.

And I'm talking you will be knocked down. A storm is coming. You will be exposed to the elements. A tornado is coming. The faith that stands behind that purpose, passion, desire. that got you getting up every single day after you've been knocked down today yesterday you may be knocked down tomorrow and nothing going to change if nothing changed so you have to take action and when i say take action you have to self-assess and say it is you versus you when you can look in a mirror

and you can say to yourself i didn't study i woke up late when you can say it's me versus me when you can get very comfortable being very uncomfortable you begin to grow you begin to grow and you don't go to pointing fingers that nobody. Man, I remember I was stripped of everything I owned from apartments the cars.

Everything I came in contact with. I mean, I was stripped of. But all through them storms, them trials of them tribulations, I began to soar like an evil. See, the eagle is one of the only birds that when a storm

is coming, he doesn't fly away, but he flies into the storm. And he uses the pressures of the storm to saw. We're using very little energy to soar above the storm to rise to an atmosphere of peace and security. Don't you want to saw? How would you use the storm to rise to elevate? How would you use a storm to soar above everybody that told you you couldn't do what you doing and what drives you because it don't matter how hard you go when you on a journey to go get what's yours you will be knocked down and i hope it's the faith that gives you the unwavering conviction the courage the dedication what you're sacrificing because being physically committed to the process without being emotionally attached to the outcomes is flying

into the storm and asking yourself what can I extract from this storm to soar to rise to an atmosphere of peace and security what do you do when people tell you you can't do it are the people who attacking you adding purpose and value to your life are you caring too much study 30% of caregivers die before the person they're caring for, man. Are you caring too much? You're putting your expectations on them, and they're not meeting your expectations. It's just going to kill you.

30% of caregivers die before those they're caring for. You understand? So what I want you do is self-assess. What are you scared of about what people going to think? We all make mistakes in your identity of the, does not lie in the mistakes you make. It is not the burdens of life that weighs us down, but it's how we handle them.

And when adding value to anything, doesn't it come with mistakes anyway? It's a part of the process. And you got to keep the faith and the hope alive. Because like I said, when you lose the faith and a hope, that's when you quit. And people only quit when they get deep and deep into pain and they can't take it anymore.

You didn't come this far just to come this far. Have you picked yourself back up yet? I know you've been knocked down. I know time has been tough. I know it's been a rough year. But kid, listen, there's going to be times that people are going to talk about you. They're going to judge you. They're going to slender your name.

And yeah, it may not be true, but you've got to understand that through the football games, through the pain, through the pressure, through everything you go through, you must continue to believe in yourself. Do it for your mother. Do it for your father. because there are going to be times where nobody believes in you, kid, and you got to understand I've been through so much pain in my life growing up in the project. Kid, I wasn't even raised with my father.

When you talk about keeping the hope alive, you have to dig real deep. And taking it back, they're going to laugh, they're going to talk, so what? Let them hate. They just want to be like you anyway. They thought I would never grow up to have a voice. They thought I wouldn't make it to play pro football. They thought I wouldn't pass to high school. exam when I fell four times. How many times do they got to doubt us before they understand

that anything we put our minds to, we're going to go get. You can't give up on yourself. Humble yourself, man. His blessings is his blessings and your blessings is your blessings. Go get what's yours. Go get what's yours. Every day you should wake up with a chip on your shoulder. And this ain't really got nothing to do with you being better than nobody. This ain't got nothing to do with you being better than nobody. This about you being and doing better for your family, your friends. And most importantly, going

out there and to the world, impacting other people by sharing the good nose if you know what I mean. Man, look, look, young one, this one for you. You ain't going to be happy every day of your life. And that's simply because

your happiness is all based off your circumstances. But young one, If you can't be happy every day, that's okay. That's okay. Because although you may not be happy today, you can still be full of joy every single day. Because like I say, happiness stands on your circumstances, but that joy it stands on you being consciously aware that you walking in the Lord's presence, y'allel. You cover.

Put on this earth to live in misery, man. Everybody on earth walking around with a gift in their hand, man. Long time ago. But I was sitting down. I was sitting there running in them streets. And the main reason I do this, the main reason I try to reach out of impact the world because I want to just get out to them young ones, man, and I just want you to know you ain't gotta live that no more because I did it, because I did it.

Seven days of pressure, you know what seven days of pressure feel like? How I feel to sit behind the walls with your baby brother and do that bid, and do that time with your baby brother? Come on, man. I've been done that young young, I've been. I've been done that, young one. You ain't got to live like that. I done it for you.

I don't been shot at. I don't live in straight misery. That was times, man. I sat in my apartment, man. I even thought about what's life worth living, man. I prevail, man. So, no blessings. Go get what's yours.

It's yours. Everybody take it from you. You can not let nobody take it from you. Protect what's yours, young one. And when I say protect what's yours, protect your family. Protect your gift. protect your values, protect your morals, protect your spirituality. Impacting the youth, whether it's the youth, your young adults, the young woman, the young kings and queens,

this about you getting out there and sharing the good news. I had to take the high school assessment test four times, talking I had to take it four times. And I failed every single time. And when I say I mean I failed every single time, my grades got lower. and lower and lower and lower. You must be don't understand how it felt. You must be don't understand how it felt to be that snoddy nose boy out on projects,

watching them grades get lower and lower. I knew God had bigger plans for me. I knew God had bigger plans for me. I knew I wasn't put on earth to live in misery. You understand me? I was put on earth to prosper. I was put on earth to prevail. And that's all I'm here to do.

College papers sitting on the table. I college papers on you. I'm talking day and now. day and night I'm talking restless nights feelings I ever felt in my life you're talking about accomplishments you ever felt in your life I told you God did not put you on this earth God did not put you on this earth to live in misery but you can't do it because I did it right now I'm in pain that's the same right no pain no game right man I'm at war with failure every day just to obtain a little success.

And you can't tell me that ain't pain. It hurt. Seeing your mama sit on the edge in that bed and cry almost every night. You can't tell me that ain't pain. It's not easy losing somebody that's close and dear to you. It's not easy jumping off the cliff and knowing that nobody will be able to be able to be. to catch you if you fall. It's not easy if you get knocked down eight times and you're scared to get back up on the ninth. If it's one thing I know, it's to be humble. Because there's always

areas in your life that's going to need improvement and you're going to need to do better. Humble yourself, young one. Don't settle. Do more. You must look. Our position in his face. You must face fear. You must face anxiety. You must face the day because if you do not face the day Then the things that you are supposed to face you start to become To make things easier I ask him to equip me with the tools to overcome any obstacles any barriers In any way to ease the pain Put your chin up what you gonna do you should sit on the edge of the edge of the

that bed and ask yourself. I am proved this today.
