Hello listeners.
Motivosity is excited to share that we have launched a new podcast called Morning Motivation by Motivore.
If you are looking to start your day with positivity and the most uplifting motivational audio,
this is the show for you.
For today's episode of Motivation Daily by Motivority Podcast,
we are sharing a recent episode from the Morning Motivation Podcast.
If you like it, go follow the show.
New episodes are being released every week.
The link is in the description.
Embrace being the underdog.
Embrace being the individual that they say cannot do it.
The underdog is a person that comes out on the playing field and says,
okay, I've been in this place of paying 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.
If you are an underdog, you got to believe against all odds.
If you are an underdog, you've got to learn to close your ears to everybody.
You've got to learn to close your ears to everything.
You've got to learn to block out the distractions, and you've got to learn to get focused, all right?
The champion is the one that never let the sun catch them sleeping.
This is what life is all about.
Everyone on Super Bowl Sunday, they wrote for the Honda dog.
Because it's something about watching the small people and their talents, watching them succeed.
You must wake up every morning and dig every day for that one day to show up.
And don't you stop pulling, don't you stop digging until it shows up.
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 hang on to your marriage.
Everybody has been counting out. Everybody has been doubted.
Forget the underdog because that dog has more fight than that pit bull is truly the greatest.
The dog 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. It ain't no shame in thinking about quitting. It ain't no shame. It ain't no shame in getting
tired. It's no shame in feeling burnt out. It's no shame. But the trick is don't just think about it.
Say to yourself, I got to rethinking and get this thought out of my mind. Why? Because the shame
isn't quitting. So if you thought about it, it ain't nothing wrong with that boo. But whatever you do,
don't let that thought. Don't let that thought become a reality, all right?
Everyone has been an underdog.
Streams all the way back to Little League.
When you were a toddler,
passed you and believed that you didn't have what it take.
What do you want to do?
Prove them wrong.
About that, underdog sees you coming.
You see, there's a difference between a Dweemer and a Chaser.
Dreamers keep dreaming.
Chasers get to work for coming.
So are you a dreamer?
Or a dreamer?
Jason.
Be ready to fight.
Be ready to fight for your life.
Be ready to give it everything you got.
Make sure what you are up against, understand that you are there to do business.
You are there to work hard.
You are there to outwork what's against you.
Nine times out of ten, the underdog always comes out with the wind because the
underdog was more hungry.
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.
Whatever that dream is, whatever you have, that goal, that improbable feet,
once you get it set, once you smell that, once you get a feel for a taste of it,
and the underdog is an individual who refuses to live in the dark.
I know what it's like to be an underdog.
I know what it's like to be laughed at.
I know what it's like to have a dream and have no one believe in you.
I know what it's like to be dumped, to be written off, and to be slept on.
It sucks.
It hurts.
It's depressing.
I'm here to tell you that you need to get over it.
It means nothing.
It's all in your head.
The 10 words that will ruin your life are what will other people think and what will other people say.
Give us, do not admit it that you have what it take to get the job done.
Remember, and they say, you're not quite.
I want it fine enough.
The thing that matters is that you're willing to work your behind on to change their mind from it.
Underdog is just a man or a woman who is 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.
all I need. I'm not living in my setback any longer. I'm moving forward. I'm coming after everything
you said I couldn't have. While the rest of the world is sleeping, you are wide awake and you are
on the attack for your success. It doesn't start with them and they. It starts with me.
So I'm just wondering when you're going to make it personal.
Are you really prepared to grind it out?
Everybody wants public authority, but nobody wants private discipline.
When your habits change behind the scenes, when your private life begins to shift,
when you put aside the things that are not serving you, if it's going to be personal, make it personal.
Don't just be great in public, be great in private.
Success doesn't always have to be loud.
Sometimes it's necessary.
It's necessary to be quiet and just move.
Are you really prepared to do what you need to do
to get what you want out of your life?
You gotta live, you have to breathe,
you have to eat this purpose.
Every single day, you are either losing ground
or gaining ground.
You are not going to win anything
And do you understand what struggle means?
You can never quit.
But you gotta work hard in silence.
You gotta walk where nobody's watching.
You gotta sacrifice behind the scenes.
When you take it personal, your private life changes.
Success is a process.
The process comes to be.
comes before success.
The struggle comes before the process.
Everybody wants to contribute to destiny,
but nobody wants to be committed to destiny.
What kind of work are you putting in behind the scenes?
What can you conquer in the dark?
Personal is your purpose.
This is what we call
grinding in silence.
Not everyone needs to understand your true motives.
Not everyone needs to understand your purpose.
Not everyone needs to understand your mission.
But the truth is, it's about passion.
It's about discipline.
It's about awareness.
It's about accountability.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, you got to be accountable for your actions.
But are you prepared to grind it out?
Are you prepared to dig a little bit deeper?
Are you prepared to fight a little bit harder?
Are you prepared to put in overtime?
Somewhere along the line, you lost your footing, you lost your place.
It got cold.
Too cold for you.
And see, one thing about an achiever is rain, sleep, or snow, they keep building.
But you have not sacrificed, you have not suffered, you are not committed.
When you are committed, you give everything you have.
Every single week, every single day, every single hour, every single minute, 720 hours a month,
You are beating on your craft even when you're at work.
You're dreaming.
You're thinking.
You're vision casting.
You're writing it down.
Making it playing.
Communicating to your destiny connections so that it can become a reality.
If you can see it in your head, you can hold it in your hands.
But the question of the answer is, are you committed?
Now it's time to grind.
Now it's time to fight.
Now it's time to believe.
Now it's time to know that your success story has yet to be told.
Don't sit back and have a pity party.
Don't sit back and wait for an opportunity to happen.
It is up to you to go out there and get the opportunities.
You want success?
Then go get it.
You want to be better.
Then be better.
You want something more than what you have right now.
Then you got to have the desire within your heart and go strong and go with everything you have.
I don't know who I'm talking to.
I don't know what you've been called to do.
What you've been called to accomplish, what you've been destined to build, who you've been called to be connected to.
But the dots will be called.
Connected.
Every single moment that you have is an opportunity of a lifetime.
Are you committed or are you just contributed?
The choice is yours.
This time, make it personal.
Hear my voice.
Know that you do have some work to do.
The work that you do will determine the outcome in the end.
But do it in sight.
The ones that need to be a part of your development, they will always be there.
And the ones that doubted you, I'm talking about the naysayers, just simply say, be quiet.
Because you have nothing.
Gotta give 110% and get it to a point where all you got to say is,
I don't have nothing to do with my success.
The noise that you making can't stop my purpose.
The noise that you making can't stop my fight.
The noise that you making can't stop my grind.
Your noise is just empty.
It means nothing to my success.
I didn't get it overnight.
And yes, I had many sleepless nights.
and I had amazing dreams of what I could become.
Can you stretch yourself?
Can you condition yourself?
Come on, can you believe again?
Can you see it again?
Can you write again?
Can you make this thing personal?
That it doesn't start with the people connected to you.
It starts with you.
It doesn't even start with your past.
It starts with where you are and where you're going.
Can you look ahead?
Can you stretch forth?
Can you condition yourself?
Can you prepare yourself for the next thing?
Make it personal, but you gotta work hard in silence.
You gotta take it personal.
I make this thing personal.
So while you're sitting around,
second-guessing yourself, my beautiful people,
get back on your grind, be productive.
Keep your head up high.
Stay in the moment.
Live every moment.
Move in silence.
And from the bottom of my heart,
Conduct your business.
You've got to learn how to move and silence.
Yeah, nothing changes and nothing changes, man.
You know, we'll sit around forever wondering, well, what if I, you know, what if I was a dog catcher?
Would I be the best?
What if I was a, you know?
Every day we change the world.
But to change the world in a way that means anything, that takes more time than most people have.
It never happens all at once.
It's slow. It's methodical. It's exhausting.
We don't all have the stomach for it.
What if it's a mistake? It's a mistake. Rest assured. What do you know?
You're going to stumble around, right? And what's going to happen is this.
You're going to move to you're going to not stay in stasis. You're not going to wander around in circles.
And I see people like that. They said, well, I never knew what to do. And now I'm 40.
It's like, that's not so good. That's not so good. And you might say, well,
And there is a literature too that suggests that people are a lot more unhappy when they look back in their lives about the things they didn't do than they are about the mistakes they made while they were doing things.
It's how they get you to give up.
They say it's not that simple of any.
So what's the truth?
There it is.
I want people to understand that they're not alone, that there are other people feeling exactly the way they're feeling, that their behavior.
behavior is not insane, that they have a disease,
and it's not their fault.
There's a very famous kind of line that people don't change.
I happen to know that people do change,
and I see that every day.
I see people getting better.
I see the lights in their eyes come on.
There's a million excuses I could make to rationalize,
not getting up early, doing the ice bath,
and going for a run.
There comes a time when all of all of the things
time when all these potential excuses turn into fuel that motivates you to keep going.
You got to get out there. You got to give it everything you got, whether it's your time,
your talent, your prayers, or your treasures. Because remember this, you will never see a U-Haul
behind a hearse. If you want to know something about yourself, sit on your bed one night and say,
What's one thing I'm doing wrong, that I know I'm doing wrong, that I could fix, that I would fix?
You meditate on that?
You'll get an answer, and it won't be one you want, but it'll be the necessary one.
It's the whole issue.
People have a feeling that they can change, but they have no effort.
They don't want to get into game because they feel it's, you know, it's just too much time.
It doesn't work, and I tried it, and it doesn't work, and then they give up, and then life just goes on.
It's seamless.
You don't see it. It's just the way you've been living.
And my older brother, who was 12, got into an electrical accident,
and he died in my arms.
And really come to terms with that I was the one who got to live.
That this life that we live, it's a privilege.
And when I really started to take that in,
I felt this tremendous urge to do something with my life, to do something that mattered.
At some point, everything's going to go south on you.
Everything's going to go south, and you're going to say, this is it.
This is how I end.
Now, you can either accept that or you can get to work.
You can't stop.
You can't quit.
You can't say.
I'm a failure. You're not a failure. You're not. You're a wonderful, strong, intelligent
youngster. Take advantage of that. Trust in God. Trust in yourself.
Until you say, yeah, I'm going to, you know what, I'm going to take action. Nothing changes if nothing
changes, man. And I'm not preaching at you. I'm just, uh, I just want to remind you because I,
you know, I've spent a lot of time in my life sitting around wanting things to change and not
being able to make them change and not thinking I could.
And I wish somebody had told me that earlier sometimes, that in order for something to change,
there needs to be change.
You cannot stand still because the world moves away from you if you stand still.
And there's no stasis.
There's only backwards.
And so if you're not moving forwards, then you're moving backwards.
How much harder will you work in this off season now to get back to the championship?
I'll push myself too exhausted.
We thank you for your time.
I just, I feel like we sort of focus on right ways and wrong ways too much.
And I think it's in a sense sort of scary to just be born and live life.
And I understand the idea of kind of grasping onto a particular thought of wanting to kind of feel like you somehow have a handle on the unknown.
But you know what? The unknown is the unknown.
Every time you have changed, you feel pain.
You stepped out of one relationship to another and you feel pain.
You leave one neighborhood to another and you feel pain.
You go from one job to another and you feel the fire of transition.
See change as growth.
See change as transformation.
See change as evolution.
See change as necessary.
See change as critical.
See change as inevitable.
Do something.
Stop being scared if you have not jumped on the bandwagon
of doing exactly what the fuck you want to do,
which is skiing for the next three years
or working at a job that's not what your parents want
or what society wants.
Do something.
Stop being scared.
And so enough.
Enough parents, the kid that's sitting right now at a desk
and saw this in a feed and you hate your fucking job,
enough.
Stand up, get the fucking out of here.
Do you live your life?
You've got one life.
And so if you're not willing to be a fool, then you'll never start anything new.
And if you never start anything new, then you won't develop.
And so the willingness to be a fool is the precursor the transformation.
And that's the same as humility.
And so if you're going to write your destiny, you can do a bad first job.
You're going to get smarter as you move forward.
When you can learn to do things when you don't want to,
when you don't feel like it, when you're hired,
when you can learn to push it,
yourself to do them, that's when the world opens up to you. That's when success knocks at your
building. There will never come a time when you can just happily coast through life. It's hard to stay
governed by anxiety. It's hard to be inconsistent. It's hard not to have daily disciplines. It's
hard not to believe in yourself. It's hard to be broke. It's hard to be poor. It's hard. It's all
hard. So choose your heart. What I am telling you to do is chase after that version of yourself.
that you know you could be.
What happens when I decide for myself
that I'm going to do something different?
You've got the gift of life.
You have the privilege of being here.
Quit playing small.
You were meant to do great things.
Nothing changes if nothing changes, man.
You just want to win?
Or are you absolutely committed?
because when you are committed, when you have made the decision that I am going to win,
it's no longer a want, it is a must.
And when something becomes a must, when you become obsessed with what you've been called to do,
you will sacrifice.
People that are committed are willing to make the sacrifices.
And so actions of the question, have you sacrificed?
everything. Are you paying the price? You gotta pay the price for what you want. In your future
comes out of cost. I am acquainted with loss. Pay lack and famine. I want to win now. Because winning
has everything to do with your mentality. It has everything to do with how you talk, how you walk, how you
think, how you overcome winning. It's not just a crown or a trophy. It is the process. It is who I am
becoming and that is how we win.
If you are going to hit your goal and if you're going to punch through your targets, you have
got to see differently.
You have got to think differently.
You are going to have to connect differently.
You are going to have to communicate differently.
One day, I just decided I'm going to raise my standards.
A decision.
Raise your up to the next level.
There's always another level.
Winning is a non-negotiable.
It's what I do.
And all of a sudden,
wham!
No longer is it just what you do!
It is who you have become.
Because there are some people that win,
and then there are winners.
There are people who win,
there are people who lose,
and there are people who are winners.
This ain't just something I do.
It is who I have become.
A winner.
Consider this that all environments
do not bring in a
nurture a winning spirit. Not everybody grew up in a winning home. Yet we often
witness living examples of greatness springing up by a diversity. Somebody that
chooses to defy the odds. Somebody that chooses to be the one in their bloodline
that changes everything. One thing I know is that we've all
been hit with a measure of adversity at some point in our life.
You already know what failure feels like.
People that are winners win both inner and outing,
and they see it not just as an opportunity,
but as a birthright.
Winners are obsessed with counsel.
Winners are obsessed with accountability.
Winning is a habit.
Winning is loving.
Winning is being moved with compassion.
being moved with compassion because everybody deserves my best.
Winning is wrapped up in the details.
That is winning.
The mentality.
Winning is what I do at home.
It's what I do on my job.
It's my creative pursuits.
It's my social activities.
It's what communities I'm connected to.
Are you willing to lose sleep?
Are you willing to put the work in?
Are you fully persuaded?
Are you determined?
Real winner.
winners these are the people who have a positive self-awareness they are crystal clear
about where they are and where they're looking at this is the type of person that's
got television they move in the dimension of mindfulness and gratitude when we
unpack the architecture of a winning mentality we're dealing with someone that is
armed and dangerous this all I'm thinking about
That's all I want. That's all I see. That's all I want to hold in my hand is a win.
Winners are gap closers. These are people that every single day they're beating on their crab and they're closing the gap between where they are and where they're supposed to do.
I'm supposed to be here. I belong here. Have you counted up the cost? It's going to cost you everything to win.
The winning isn't just a behavior, winning is an attitude, because you can have good behavior and a bad attitude.
And so winning is a behavior, winning is an attitude, winning is a way of living.
You're going to have to manifest that thing that you see in your head, to hold it in your hands.
Go through, you will grow through.
I know you feel stuck in reversing.
You may be tired, you may be broken, you.
You may be hurting, but listen, winning has everything to do with your mentality.
I am going to win.
I've had enough of the loss, I've had enough of the lack.
I want to win now.
I want to win.
We all know what it's like to lose a job, to lose a family member, to lose money, to lose
a position.
Some of us have even lost our minds at points in our lives.
So we are acquainted with loss.
of us have lost love towards someone or lost passion or lost focus.
Many of you listen to me know what it's like to lose everything.
You have another day where you failed yesterday, where you almost gave up yesterday, when you almost lost your
love in.
But there is something in all of us, something very inborn, interwoven, something very intrinsic, a
distinctive in all of us, a desire to win.
What is your DNA?
What is your mentality?
Oh, in this very moment, you have an opportunity, seize the opportunity, wants to win.
It's not just an exterior thing.
How you overcome conflict, how you navigate a room, how you navigate relationships, how you
manage your time, how you manage your money, it's not just an in thing. It is not just what I want.
It is who I am becoming. It's how we win. I'm the win. When all hell's broke loose,
dumb, you're sore, you're depressed, you're miserable, might be falling behind your life.
Who are you on those days when shit's off duff? That's the thing. That's the
great divide. Those people who get up on those days, when everything's
f-up and still crying, separated right there.
Dreams don't stop people going. And then you have the nerve to think or to ask
yourself why you're not successful and you see it happen every day. On Monday morning
somebody's gonna get up and they're gonna hand in their resignation going to a new job.
On Monday morning somebody gonna get up lifting more than you. On Monday morning somebody
go get up running faster than you. On Monday morning somebody go get up with their name
hired in the drafting you.
On Monday morning, somebody's going to be getting that scholarship that you could have
got.
Best word, on Monday morning, somebody's going to get up whistling to take that test while
you worry.
Why?
There's no difference between them and you.
They're not faster, they're not smarter, they're not stronger, they're not better.
They just don't quit.
You won't out grind me.
I get up at 3 o'clock in the morning and do videos.
I'll do a video at 3 o'clock.
I'll do a video at 2 o'clock.
I'm putting out so much do do a do gong on content.
They can't keep up.
They're smarter than me.
They're better than me.
I admit.
I got a GED. I ain't the smartest person in the world, but I get up and do this for DD.
You do the work now. Do the work now.
And all of this shit that you could ever want to do for your family, your kids, your loved ones,
it's all going to be on a whole other stratosphere.
Mindset thing you end right now is a mindset thing because your challenge.
Your challenge ain't moving. Your mountain. It's not moving.
You don't feel like you're making any progress. You're not physically moving.
when you see everything else around you and other people around you moving you not making progress you're in the test of your will right now because life says it has a little more test for you why are you out there practicing in the hot sun when ain't nobody else out there because i'm trying to get it why are you not clubbing like every time i text you and invites you to go do some fun and cool you always studying because i'm trying to get it
Push itself, the fight. You get up and swing and miss, that's progress.
You get up and you run at what you want with everything you got and you miss.
That's progress.
The effort of making the attempt is progress.
If you feel that you are not in the position to do it, then why show up in the first place?
Listen to all roads for success.
You gotta go through pain.
They are...
Oh, success. When you travel down success, you gotta go through the road of pain, baby.
I told you before, if it was easy, everybody would do it.
Forget about it. If you think it's going to be easy, if you think you just go get that business started without new trials or triple-a, forget about it.
You had a baby when you were caught.
If you think it's going to be easy to graduate with a child, you've got to work eight hours a day, you got to go to school, you think it's going to be easy.
Forget about it.
All right, don't even try to be successful.
It's a rattle.
It's not going to be easy, but I want you to feel that pain going through your body.
And as pain leads your body, guess what's going to take his place?
Success!
Are you prepared to push?
Are you prepared to work?
Are you prepared to dig?
You got to fight.
You got the push.
You got to give everything you have.
Because I tell you this, weakness won't save you.
All you need is the power of the strip and the tenacity to give it everything you got.
You gotta stick that shit out, man.
It's another level to this, man.
It's no different because we've messed up, because you fell off the wagon.
You've been on alcohol and drugs and you gave up on life and you dropped out.
You've been to jail one time, two times, three times, and you really want your dream to happen and you're putting in your work and nothing's happening yet.
If you keep pushing, if you keep giving me all your effort, it will happen.
It must happen.
It can't do anything but move.
You can do anything but make progress.
But I want you all to understand and saying that word that you all have to stop getting caught up in movement as progress.
For some of us, the action of making progress is progress.
It's time to stay focused.
It's time to decide clubs, partying, trying to fit in and socialize, rub elbows with everybody so people can stop calling you weird.
Why are you so anti-social?
Because I'm trying to get it.
It takes grit, passion, and determination to get to the level of where you want to be.
You will not outrind me.
You won't outgrind me.
You won't out grind me. You can be smarter than me. You won't out grind me.
But you got to understand the difference between levels and going beyond them.
You can't stay in one place and expect to get to the next place.
You can't look at the sky because beyond the sky, there's a great big universe.
Now what are you going to do about it?
I'm going to have the same amount of time, the same advantage, no excuse.
They're not going to have an hour more than me.
They're not going to have six hours extra than me.
I'm going to grind just as long, and I'm going to grind longer.
And I'm going to prepare myself to be successful.
Why one reason?
I don't quit.
I don't prepare myself in the mindset equipment.
If you don't understand this right now, that you're going to have to push harder,
you're going to fight longer, you're going to have to get in with everything you got.
You're going to have to give up more.
You're going to have to not be lazy.
You're going to have to not listen to that old you.
Change your mindset.
Change how you see pain.
I want you to welcome it.
You heard me said before.
comfortable than you've been with being uncomfortable.
It is up to you to get the most of everything that you've worked so hard for.
Understand this face, you may forget this voice, you may forget this voice, you may forget who told you.
Forget your pants out. Don't ever forget these words that I'm about to tell you.
If you want to be great in this life, you only have one choice, gentlemen.
You only have one choice.
You can make choices that just get you with.
remember or you can make choices that ultimately make you a legend.
Stay on that basketball court, stay on that football field.
It's grind season, homie.
It's not about today, it's about the future.
It's gonna be a dog fight.
I would love to tell you that on the road to success,
everything is gonna work out, it's not.
It's gonna be a dog fight.
On the road to success, I lost five aunty cancer.
It's a dog fight.
In the midst of my business,
I lost aunts.
I had to go to funerals.
We had to get on a plane.
We had to drive.
We had aunts that are close to my age who died, who didn't have insurance.
We had to raise money.
A dog fight.
At cousins, shot in stores, execution style.
Shot back in head, back in a head twice.
It's a dog fight.
Like, you don't see that on YouTube.
You don't see that on my TGIA.
It's a dog fight.
My wife, three years ago, seven legions,
following the brain. It's a dog fight. It hasn't been easy. It's a dog fighting. It hadn't been
the role hadn't been success. Like it just a paved role and like each he goes way. It's been
rough. It's been crooked. It's been hard. But I've made up in my mind that I will get a reward
for the pain that I go through. I will not stop in the middle of the process. I will not be
defeated. I will not be destroyed. I will take everything that happens in my life and I will allow
the pain that puts me to greatness. You will not break me. You will not stop me. You will not defeat me.
The only way I lose is if I quit, it's going to be a dog fight. Quit and don't get started.
Say no. I decided. Why? Because I do not have eight. It did happen to me in 30. It happened to me in 40.
It happened to me in 40. I could go through life state. You finished with all the pressure.
I said, yeah. I said let me bring on the heat. Then when I went through the pressure and the heat,
y'all I thought it was over the creator said now you ready to get cut you say you wanted to be
great son you said you wanted to travel the world you said you wanted to help people inspire people
armed forces let's just pick one the navy for instance the first thing they teach you
somebody somebody over here help me out you are in the navy right you're going they're
teaching you war right what's the first thing they teach you the first thing they teach you the first thing they
The very first thing they teach you is how to respond when you have a jam gun.
And number two, how to carry your dead body.
They teach you, they don't teach you how to defend yourself.
They don't teach you how to swim.
The first thing they teach you is when your gun is jammed.
The first thing they teach you is a dead body, how to carry a dead body.
And somebody tell me, why would they start you there?
That's the worst type scenario.
That's what you're not prepared for.
That's what you're not thinking.
You're not thinking when you go off to defend yourself that your gun,
your guns go jail. You're not, you're not thinking when you go out there that your boy
going to get killed and you got a drag. You're not thinking that. So listen to me, it's not, it's not
hardships that hurt us. It's not my cousin getting shot twice. It's not my cousin's been in
jail. It's not my eyes dying. It's not my wife or being diagnosed with seven legions
on a brain that will break you. What will break most people that you didn't prepare for that?
So when you put all your little goals and all your little dreams together, it's not the
thing that broke you that broke you it was you never even thought about the fact that you
could be broken it's gonna be a dog fight and if you solved this ain't that you want to get out
now this is where you like I quit but if you willing to say I'm not going quit I guarantee
whatever success you want to have you will not outbrime you will not outbrime me you can be smarter
to me you won't outbrime me I get up at 3 o'clock in the morning and do videos I'll do a video at 3 o'clock
I'll do a video at 2 o'clock.
I'm putting out so much dog on content
they can't keep up.
They're smarter than me.
They're better than me.
I admit, I got a GED.
I ain't the smartest person in the world.
But I get up and do this for Didi.
I do this every day for Dedy because of what Dedy did for me.
I do this for my kids.
My daddy wasn't there.
I do this for my family.
You can't stop me.
The reason why some of you could be stopped is you doing it for yourself.
Guess what happened when you get tired?
When you grinding and when you grinding
Grinding hurts. Grinding is a sacrifice. Grinding costs.
When you're grinding and your body tell you you hurt, when you're doing it for you, you stop.
You never, you never prepared.
No, you never prepared for worst-case than that.
And the reason why E.T. is standing here because I'm prepared for it.
If you know anything about me, I still lay on floors.
I still eat chips off the floor.
I still do some stuff that to most people is crazy.
like I-E-E-E, why would you do that?
Because I'm always prepared that we may not live in our house one day.
One day something might happen, and we might have to go back to that.
And if I have to go back to that, it's not going to break me.
The thing we covered the most, for a diamond to be produced,
it must first go through extreme heat.
Extreme heat, extreme pressure.
Are you here what I'm telling you, for a diamond to be produced,
it has to go through extreme pressure, extreme heat.
And if that wasn't enough, what makes a diamond a diamond is the cut.
So you are put through.
If you want to be a diamond, you must go through extreme pressure.
If you can't take pressure, then you're not a diamond.
You go through all the pressure you thought you could not handle.
And you think it's over.
Then they turn on the heat.
Eating out trash cans.
Sleeping in the abandoned builders, the worst thing that ever happened is when I went to the hospital.
and they told me my wife had a chronic illness
and she might not be able to walk one day.
People say ET, ask CJ, it never broke me.
Why?
Because I've been broken so much.
Defeated so much.
I've been disappointed so much in my life.
But I know what it feels like, and I can end with.
