Starting point is 00:00:00 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 Podcasts. If you like it, go follow the show. New episodes are being released every week. The link is in the description. Where have you been up to this point? You look at your life.
Starting point is 00:00:44 You look at what you produce. Is it giving you what you want? Are you living on purpose? Are you living your dream? Are you acting on your ideas? Are you doing all you can do? Have you gotten comfortable? Are you procrastinating?
Starting point is 00:00:58 Are you invading your own greatness? Are you surrounding yourself with people that can ennourge you? Are you challenging yourself? Are you experimenting? Are you learning something different? Is your life an adventure or is it boring? Where have you been? When you're pursuing your greatness, you live from a place of the willingness to live life courageously,
Starting point is 00:01:26 to be willing to take chances, to become a risk taker, to make impact, to go beyond believing, to knowing, to lean not into your own understanding, to feel within yourself. There's some cause. There's something that's bigger than me, but I'm never alone in facing this. See, we don't have the courage, and that's what it takes courage. It takes guts to do that what you know you need to do. If you don't have the courage to act, life many times will move on you. and make you act. Life will whip your butt so bad. You will be so miserable, you will catch so much hell.
Starting point is 00:02:17 You say, yes, I will do it. What do you want me to do? Take me. You've got some idea, some dream, that you might have to go back and brush it off and look at it again and say, I've got to do this. This is my stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:35 This is what I'm supposed to do. This is why I showed up. Where are you going with your life? What decisions are you making right now as you look into the future? It's necessary that you get outside of your comfort zone. It's necessary that you develop some new relationship where you can learn from people. It's necessary that you do reading, that you do research. It's necessary if you're already involved in some business that you don't be satisfied with where you are.
Starting point is 00:03:02 You want to make it a date? It's necessary for you to constantly look at ways of getting better. Not all is it possible for you to have your dream. and it's necessary for you to challenge yourself to go after and get better and leverage relationships that can help you get to where you want to go but it's you the major key to your reaching your dream you're living up to your greatness
Starting point is 00:03:26 you're making your contribution is you live your life like you're the hero in your movie and right now pretend you're in the part of the movie that starts and it shows you as a loser If I got a fight to get you in the gym, that's a problem. I'm just saying, for real, some of you broke and you still entertained. I'm talking about those of you are complaining about your job.
Starting point is 00:03:55 You ain't got no money and you sitting here complaining about, but then you're watching all the TV programs. I'm never going to feel like doing the things that are tough or difficult or uncertain or scary or new, so I need to stop waiting until I feel like it. We all have a habit of hesitating. the idea isn't going to execute itself and the book isn't going to write itself and the weights out in the gym
Starting point is 00:04:20 they're not going to move themselves you have to do it and you have to do it now but there's a motherfucker who wants it you have who wants the position you are who wants the job you have who wants the wife that you have or the husband there's someone out you're hungry
Starting point is 00:04:38 and wants everything you can have But if you're lazy, man, I don't want to talk to you. I want to deal with you. You don't make me feel dumber. You know, you're going to lower my level. I don't think so. The reason why you're so lazy is not because you don't have the ability. You're so lazy because your dream is so small.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I believe in myself every day. I know I make mistakes. I know I'm not perfect. But I am not lazy. You can keep sleeping. I'm going to keep working. They say things like, I'll start Monday. It's not my.
Starting point is 00:05:10 fault. It's not fair. I'm too damn tired. Or my personal favorite, I don't have enough time. They have a loser mentality through and three. And until they recognize the problem is them, they'll never improve. I know many talented people who had a great deal of potential, but they never realized their greatness. And they will end up going to their grave with all the good stuff still in it. You will be tested in how you face that test and how you overcome that. Test, determine the rest of your life. You've got to have something that is inside you, something that fires you up, something that drives you, something that gives you more power than you've ever had in your life. Your life comes down to your decisions, and if you change your decisions, you will change everything.
Starting point is 00:06:01 The best of the best, they don't sleep. They keep working. What are you going to do? Where do I start? And when's the best time to start? I have very simple answer. And now Wake up every single day
Starting point is 00:06:23 Thinking about how can I change my life How can I stand on the stage with the giants I realize that everything I ever dreamed of Lives in the sky And I must junk every single day To go reclaim what's mine And that's wrong as long as you believe In that very gift that you have
Starting point is 00:06:52 In the bottom of your stomach That fire that burns, that dream that wakes you up in the middle of the night, and have you screaming to the sun rise so I can go after this dream. That is the very thing that you should chase every single day. It's chasing greatness. In life today, kings and queens, that we will not be ordinary. We will be great. You have an everlasting potential, and as long as you have a heartbeat,
Starting point is 00:08:13 as long as you have entering your lungs, You have an opportunity to change this world, change your life, and live your dream today. We will be kings. You wake up early. It's just you. The world can wait. Right? Emails can wait.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Text messages can wait. The boardroom can wait. The playing field can wait. The court can wait. Everything can wait. And I can get dialed in with. what I've been called to do. I can get dialed in with why I'm here.
Starting point is 00:09:01 What is my purpose without any outside influences or stimuli? I don't need coffee right now. I don't need alcohol. I don't need an outside stimuli to get by day jump started. I just need to get up and get dialed in. We want to be successful, but we don't want to get dialed in on a morning routine. unbelievable to me how much we want success but we don't want structure put away the devices put away the distractions put away the outside stimuli and the influences
Starting point is 00:09:33 and all of the voices and get dialed in if you're listening to me let this be a moment of transformation and motivation but let this moment not just move you but change you to take action why am I here what have I been placed on this earth to do All of a sudden, when I wake up in the world asleep, I get a different perspective. I can get my agenda, my targets, and my aims crystallized in my head. And whatever becomes clear in my head, yo, I can hold in my head, period. All of us has this power within us, this force of nature, that we have not tapped into.
Starting point is 00:10:16 There's another level. Life is lived on levels. and these levels are unlocked by taking action. My question to you is, will you take action and do something out of your paradigm? If you're going to obliterate programs and patterns, then you've got to do something different. Shake it up, wake up early, man, get up.
Starting point is 00:10:37 It's time for an identity shift. It's time for elevation in your relationships and in your health and in your mindset and in your approaches and in your strategies. It's time to get into this space of, innovation. It's your time. It's your turn. The weight is over. Get up and give back to yourself. If you listen to me, get up, get up, get up, get up. It's time to go. Most people don't feel like waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning. Do it because you don't feel like doing it. You need to be the
Starting point is 00:11:21 person that does it even if they don't feel it, but they do it because they're called to. everybody wants to unleash greatness within them and everybody wants to be their best selves when you're going to have to do stuff you don't feel like doing in order to get there and so if we want to step into this transformative experience then I need to have a competitive advantage over the competition where you say man I'm in competition with nobody just me and I get that and I've said that but the truth of the matter is is if you don't do something the other man is not doing, then you're going to get knocked off. You want longevity.
Starting point is 00:12:08 If you want sustainability, if you want to scale, if you want peak performance, if you're going to do something in your bloodline, if you're going to pass something down generationally, if you're going to be a light, if you're going to do something that's never been done, then sometimes you're going to have to get up when you don't feel like it. If we're going to unleash this untapped potential, then I have to have to be a lot of it. to do something that's going to break the current paradigms that I've been living under. I got to do something that's going to obliterate the status quo. What you're going to discover about waking up at a certain time, specifically at a time
Starting point is 00:12:50 you don't feel like it, that after a while, you will love it. Once you get that itch, once you smell that potential, all of a sudden the world opens up to you. And 3 a.m. 4 a.m. is no longer a burden. It's just what you do. And you don't even need an alarm clock to go off because your passion awakens you. Your passion. You can go three, four hours of sleep and you're ready to go again. Because something inside of you is saying, I got to achieve something. You got work to do. So make that decision that there's no turning back. And so we want to become unstoppable. when we want to be resilient but we don't want to do what's impossible for most people for most people 3 a.m. is just like it's impossible in their mind they don't even think about it it's something that's just not going to do
Starting point is 00:14:01 they're going to get up at 7 8, 9, 10 and so you've got to do what's impossible for most people in order to be that unstoppable force of nature and I am an advocate for rest Don't give me wrong. We got to get rest. We need to sleep. I understand that, but there are seasons and timetables,
Starting point is 00:14:25 and there are rooms I've got to walk into you, and there are hands that I have to shake, and there are contracts that I have to sign, and there are deals that I have to close that are going to require me to lose sleep sometimes. And so if I believe in the power of the future, then I've got to be willing to get up. Do something you've never done.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Start your day at a time where it is a sacrifice until it becomes an obsession. I get up early when the competition is sleeping. I get a competitive advantage in the marketplace. I get peace and quiet and some solitude where I can focus on me. I can condition myself. I can prepare myself. I can accomplish more by getting up earlier. When people are sleeping and I am working by the time they wake up, bam, I'm already done.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I'm done. I'm in flow state. I can break out of the monotony. I can break out of the mundane. I can snap out of autopilot and step into that powerful driving force that is within me to help me unleash my untapped potential. Period. Waking up early gets me in touch with myself. It gets me in tune. It gets me in motion. It gets me in flow where I can perform my best. And I can get hyper focused on what matters most, and I can eliminate distractions, and everything that was hindering me all of a sudden, wham, I hit a state of elevation, everything that was toxic, everything that was not for me, everything that was not life-giving, I can get very clear on the future. It is time for transformation. It is time to unlock resilience and ignite energy and vitality. It's going to increase productivity. It's going to shift your identity. And it's going to unlock the dimension
Starting point is 00:16:31 of unstoppable momentum. If you want this, then try it for one week. You gotta have care to have passion. And you hear people say all the time, I don't care. If that's you, you don't have passion. You gotta care, okay? You gotta care if we wanna lose.
Starting point is 00:16:58 You gotta care if we come in a lot. becoming last place. You gotta care if I don't want a championship, I'm gonna be pissed off. You gotta care if you get divorced. You gotta care if you file bankrupts. You gotta care if you don't get the 3.0 GPA you shoot before. You feel in your goals. You feel in your blank. You feel in your dreams. You feeling your goals. At the end of the day, let me tell you something, champ. You gotta care. Because if you don't care, guess what? It ain't gonna happen. If you don't care, guess what? You ain't going to run.
Starting point is 00:17:30 If you don't care, guess what? You're going to quit when it's getting tough. If you don't care, you're going to throw in the town. So I'm here to tell you. The first thing we have to do is get you to care about your future, get you to care about your goals, get you to care about failing. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Let me tell you something. If you're going to a jungle, there's two people who care. That lion, that gazelle. The gazelle wants to live another day, and that lion wants to eat so he can live another day. And let me tell you who's going to win that battle. The one who cares the motion, because that lion knows, if I give all my energy after this gazelle, and if I miss the gazelle, if I don't cast the gazelle, I've exerted all this energy, and I don't get to eat, I've got to waste another day to eat.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I'm in trouble because I won't have the same strength tomorrow. I won't have the same focus tomorrow. I don't have the same drive tomorrow. I want to have the same energy tomorrow, so I got to care enough that I see this opportunity. I see that Gaines coming by, I got to get it. But on the other end, that Gazzal is like, man, if I can elude this lion, I can live another day. If I can allude this lion, I can get home to my family. If I can elude this lion, I can get home to my baby.
Starting point is 00:18:54 If I can elude this lion, I can get my family out to bribe. If I can elude this lion, we can get off welfare. If I can elude this lion, I can get out of bankruptcy. If I can elude this lion, just one more day, maybe I can get off drugs. If I can just elude this lion, even in the jungle, the lion in the gazelle, the one who's going to win, the one who cares for most. But I don't care where you are in love. I don't even care what your lot is.
Starting point is 00:19:26 What your lot is? I don't care what your mom is. I don't care what your daddy is. I don't care what they did. I don't care how they are. I don't care your background. I don't care what house you is. I don't care what neighbor you from.
Starting point is 00:19:38 I don't care what side of the track that you're on. All I'm telling you right now is that until you care can't get to A. Inside your company, who cares the most? Inside your division, who cares the most? Inside your family, who cares the most? Yeah, man. That line was hurrying us.
Starting point is 00:20:00 And if he care enough, he gonna get that gazelle. But if that gazelle is fast enough, and elusive enough, that gazelle, gonna get away. When you wake up in the morning, every day, you gotta care. And you gotta live your life like you are lying. You gotta live your life like you are that gazelle. What are you doing with your mind? with your mind what are you doing with your mentality what are you going with your
Starting point is 00:20:42 mindset that's going to position you to make sure that when this is over you benefit from this break I'm stuck in the house just like you now I'm wearing mask just like you now wearing gloves just like you I'm checking on my 96 year old grandmother just like you I'm checking on my 80 year old mother just like you I'm making sure my kids are being smart and watching my hands just like you but because I'm home that mean I don't care anymore because I'm home don't mean my purpose goes away because I'm home I can't talk into a microphone so I talk into a phone I'm talking to a computer I talk to software I talk to Facebook I talk to Instagram and tonight I'm talking to
Starting point is 00:21:36 Twitter. Why? You already know. Because I can. Now, I can ask you a question. What is it about your future that you need to do to get to where you want to be? And once you understand that, you got to put yourself in a mindset that you want to disappoint you. You don't want to disappoint you. Because if you're okay, disappointing you, it's almost impossible to get better. what's that one thing that's holding you back from your next level? And what you understand what that one thing is. Now you're halfway there. Now we can figure out, okay, if we can improve this one thing
Starting point is 00:22:17 and get 10% better every year, in five years, we only recognize your business. You won't recognize your life. We won't recognize you. Why? Because you got exponentially better. And that's important to me because I'm part of my purpose and the reason I'm on this earth to help you get better.
Starting point is 00:22:35 You can't afford to stay the same. Wherever you want to be in life, just got to care enough, man. When that setback comes, so? When that haters shows up. So? When that rejects what shows up. So?
Starting point is 00:22:58 When a setback shows up. So, when that doubt shows up. So, when that soronness shows up, so? It don't matter. You got to want it back. I've had enough. I've had my teeth knocked out. I got screws in my feet. Let me tell you something. It don't matter why because I care. When I got inducting to the Hall of Fame for motivational speakers, I was sitting at a table when a young lady came up to me. She says, wow, Walter, you're going into the Hall of Fame. That is so cool.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Aren't you excited? I said, yeah, I'm excited. She said you don't act like it. But you know what I told? After getting cut out the NBA, you know what I told? After making minimum in the NBA. You know what I told? After cramining my wife's arms, after I got cut out the NBA. You know what I told him?
Starting point is 00:23:52 For the first time in my life, I expected to be here. For the first time in my life, I shot for the A and I got it. For the first time in my life, I went for the throat and I got it. For the first time in my life, I went to be number one, and I got it. For the first time in my life, I wasn't happy with getting a C anymore. For the first time in my life, I made up my mind to be an A student and I expected to be an A student. And guess what, I got the A. I talked to people in Australian and London and Cyprus and Africa all over the world because I just wanted to get the A because I cared enough.
Starting point is 00:24:33 For the first time in my life, I didn't talk myself out of it. For the first time in my life, I wouldn't happen being average. For the first time in my life, I made up my mind that I'm going to be an A student no matter what. student no matter what. I've been motivating people for 19 years. I'm a hall of the same speaker, which means I'm good at what I do. But the only reason I'm good at what I do, watch this, because I care. Judge a person not by what they accomplished, but what they had to overcome for their accomplishment. People that are hungry have zero excuses for not pursuing their dreams.
Starting point is 00:25:18 and they come back again and again and again. They operate like Willie Jolly, who said that a setback is set up for a comeback. I've got a saying that life knocks you down, try and land on your back, because if you could look up, you can get up. I'm training people to get into their greatness, to begin to develop the courage
Starting point is 00:25:40 to pursue dreams beyond their comfort zones, because in order to do something you've never done, you've got to become someone you've never been. When you're pursuing your greatness, you don't know what your limits are, so you act like you don't have any. There's never a shortage of opportunities. It's just a shortage of thinking. Because some things are taught and some things are caught. When I was in the fifth grade, they put me back from the fifth grade into the fourth grade.
Starting point is 00:26:09 I failed again in the eighth grade. I have no college training. So being identified and labeled as D.T. the dump twin, it gave me a lot of things. to overcome. And so there was no one to dispute what was said about me and I bought it. Even if you were told a lie, faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing. You hear it often enough. It becomes your reality. Perception, not challenged, becomes real for you. Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. So if you can track failure, you can also attract success. You have greatness in you. I don't know you. But here's what I know.
Starting point is 00:26:50 upon my own experience. 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. There'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 will be spent on the ends of strays that somebody else pulls. When you recognize your greatness, no one will ever pull your strengths. You are different. You were created on purpose with a purpose to manifest that purpose through you. You will never exercise authority and dominion over your life until you exercise authority and dominion over what you are not. Most people go through life
Starting point is 00:27:41 living the lie that has been told about them. There's something in you that's greater than your circumstances. There's something in you that's greater than the adversities that you're facing. In life, you either in a problem, just left one or headed toward one. You have greatness in you. Every day that you wake up, remember someone else did not. You are alive for a reason. Earth, are you here? This is your day. You've got a window. You've got another 24 hours. Because you may not make it to tomorrow. And I'm just wondering what you're going to do with the day. The reason why days often feel meaningless and mundane is because we are directionless.
Starting point is 00:28:42 You've got to get some direction. I'm just wondering what are you going to do in this next 24 hours that you did not do. I'm just wondering if you're going to level up two millimeters more than you did yesterday. Are you going to get better? Are you going to get stronger? Are you going to get wiser? Are you going to see this thing differently? just wondering when are you going to see the power of 24 hours that you did not have to wake up
Starting point is 00:29:08 that God did not have to give you another opportunity to be here another opportunity to forgive somebody another opportunity to let it go another opportunity to look up and get up I'm just wondering when are you going to seize the opportunity except where you are you are Get cognizant about your money. Get cognizant about your relationships. Where are you mentally? Where are you spiritually and emotionally and financially and economically? Are you driving what you are destined to drive?
Starting point is 00:29:42 Where's your health? Where's your heart? Let's get aware of where we are. This is my day to read a new book. This is my day to start a journey. This is my day to make an investment. This is my day to invest in myself. This is my day and this is my time and it's my turn to crush this day.
Starting point is 00:30:03 This is the day I learn like I never have. This is the day I invest like I never have. This is the day I take it seriously. I've got one window. I may not be here tomorrow. I'm just wondering if you're going to rise and see the opportunity. Get up. Get up.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Get up. You've got a day to conquer. You have to understand if you don't execute on the plan, if you don't get up in the morning when you're feeling tired, scared, if you don't execute, you're not just cheating yourself. You're cheating your family. You're cheating your employees. You're cheating your team. Whatever you're a part of. It's bigger than you, man.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Hard work, work, y'all. See, some of you have dreams and goals, but hard work, you can't get around it. I wish there was a magic wand that I could wave that your passion, your dream, that thing that. you want to achieve, it could just happen, but it can't. Hard work is required. What do you do when a thousand other people want exactly what you want? What if you're not the only one that wants what you want?
Starting point is 00:31:22 What if there are thousands of other people who want what you want? You have to outwork them. You got outbigh them. You've got to get up earlier. You've got to stay up later. You've got to execute, and you've got to go from 70 to 100. I think a lot of people feel this enormous pressure to achieve this millionaire, billionaire status
Starting point is 00:31:46 somewhere in your 20s, 30s, 40s, is very difficult. It is for very few and far between. I hope everyone understands, if you put in 18 hours a day every day of your life and you suck, you lost. You know why I'm sitting here right now? Because I outworked you. Zoom in. I outworked you.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Before I ever stood on a stage, I cleaned one at an old doctor's church. When everybody left, I stayed document when nobody was there. That's how I got the microphone. I didn't get a microphone because I can talk the best. I didn't get a microphone because I can sing the best. I got a microphone because the servant got elevated me everywhere of my life. So we all think that we pray on it.
Starting point is 00:32:26 If we do this, if you do that, whatever. We don't work. Whatever is it's magically happen for us. No. I believe that when I'm all sitting done with, my whole job is to outwork the charts. Gotta keep putting in the work every day. One is better in zero.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Keep putting in the work, putting in the work, putting in the work, putting work. The hard work matters and the patience is what overrides it. You got to work with what happens. What happens if you wake up 30 days later and you're there? What happens if you wake up 60 days later and the change is coming. You know what's going to happen? You're going to wake up 60 days later, 90 days later, and everything is going to change but you. And you're going to get the same results you got before it happened because you're the exact same person.
Starting point is 00:33:07 So work, work while you wait. You cannot stop. We all have greatness. It just, you got to find the courage. You got to find the courage to put your bow's headphones on and silence the noise out of this world and to find it. And to find it because it's out there, but it's going to take hard work, courage, self-discipline.
Starting point is 00:33:32 It's going to take all the non-cognitive skills. All the non-cognitive skills to be great. You know, smart is good, all this stuff is good. That's all cognitive. It's the non-cognitive skills that sets you apart from everybody else. And that's what it's all about. In order to achieve greatness, you must first believe you can. What's the biggest challenge that most of these individuals have?
Starting point is 00:34:02 What's the common challenge? Believe. They don't believe, man. You know, it's all mental and people don't get it. And everybody wants to say, okay, well, here go 10 steps to. Okay, Lewis said do 8. E.T. said, do 9. You know, this person says this is the 12 steps, and everybody's trying to get the steps without the mentality.
Starting point is 00:34:24 You got this. I believe in you. When somebody says, no matter what happens, whether it succeeds or fails, I'm going to be by your side. That's when I have the confidence to do difficult things. Wow. So it's the people in my life. You should recognize the potential in yourself and love yourself enough to make the changes that produce the best possible version of yourself. Or how do you overcome self-doubt? How do you overcome self-doubt?
Starting point is 00:34:52 Help someone else overcome self-doubt. I love that. I love that. You overcome self-doubt by helping. And it's not a selfish thing. I'm only helping you so I can. You have to genuinely love and commit to the person. So it's not the car, the house, or whatever.
Starting point is 00:35:04 It is that internal goal, that internal why. And so for me, I just think that's it. Like, you, ah, it's something within it. And you got to pull it out. And so it's easy when you have a why, a purpose. I'm doing it for this. I'm doing it for that. It's easy to get up and get going.
Starting point is 00:35:20 But if it's just for a car, what happens when you get the car? Because you can buy it. What happens when you get the house? And you can buy the house. The only reason you're not the best right now is because you don't believe you the best. You can learn all the techniques in the world. If you don't believe in yourself, it won't happen for you. You have got to stand up to that voice.
Starting point is 00:35:44 You've got to sell yourself every day on your abilities, on what you're doing, on the goal that you want to reach. You've got to sell yourself every day, every day, every day. According to your level of belief, it will manifest itself in what you're doing. Whatever we have right now, whatever we're demonstrating in our lives, is a result of what we believe subconsciously that we deserve. And part of increasing that belief level is that you have got to convince yourself every day. I'm not for it to anybody. I think I'm the best things in slice bread.
Starting point is 00:36:34 If you can't do it, you scratch, claw, and even die trying. Now, I don't know what your goal is, but I want you to visualize it right now. And repeat after me with power and conviction. Let us say together, it's possible. Together, please. Say it possible. Say it possible. See, that's the first step.
Starting point is 00:36:57 I want you to think about this goal that you want. I want you to envision it and see it in your mind's eye. and every day say to yourself that it's possible. See, most people are not accumulating wealth. Most people are living in poverty. Most people are living far below their potential. Not because they don't have the capacity. Not because they have not been given authority and dominion
Starting point is 00:37:22 over everything on the face of the earth. But most people are living like they're living because of the fact that they don't believe they can have any more than what they now have. Listen to me very clearly. Every A is not an A. I don't care how much you can jump on Google and get the answer and get your report card or your grade sheet or your teachers or your school to think that you're getting the A. If you're cutting corners, if you're taking shortcuts, every A is not an A.
Starting point is 00:37:49 You're not robbing anybody else but you. So I need you to work while you wait. I need you to work with work on your focus perspective. I need you to see difficult differently. Are you here what I'm telling you? I need you to see it differently. You know, five steps to greatness. No, it ain't that, brother.
Starting point is 00:38:09 You read my book, this is hard work, it's every day. There's so many people who want to leave that can't follow. I'm saying it's because everybody wants to get to the top. If you're trying to get on top, I need you to be work. The level you're on right now. Yeah. Can you clean bathrooms? Can you sing for the kids?
Starting point is 00:38:33 Maybe singing for the kids might be the thing that gets the whole world knowing your name But because you think it's small and insignificant you won't even do it Just keep working if you were told you were gonna get that promotion just keep working if you were told you were going to win that championship Just keep working nobody said it would be easy again if it was easy everybody would do it So I need you to work on your faith I need you to work on your faith I need you to wake up every day and say today today day to day, but my day coming. And I will not give up and I will not give in until I get to that day. I will not stop. I will not give up. I will not give in until my day comes.
Starting point is 00:39:13 You have enough right now to flip this world upside down. You have enough. You got enough power. You got enough anointing. You got enough grace. You got enough patience. You got enough gifting to make your money, get out of debt, get yourself together, and change everything about your world. For the things that I'm wanting and believing, I just have to do everything possible that's within my power. And there's some things that aren't within my power, and that's where I trust God. But what is it within my power? It's, whether it's getting the proper sleep, whether it's learning your lines, whether it's researching the character, whether it's working out or eating healthy or you know whatever it is that you need that's gonna make you better at what you want to
Starting point is 00:40:03 do it's doing every single bit of that you can possibly do and going above you know not just doing just enough to get by but going above and and then after that it's like if it's supposed to happen it will happen and chances are if you do the work it likely will happen it's about whatever you think you are you have to make that dream a reality but that's where the hard part is is making a dream reality. That's where the hard work comes. That's where people know how do you keep grinding every day You have to make those insecurities those fears like when I was 300 pounds I didn't have any drive. I'm gonna go be a Navy SEAL what kind of stupid is that 300 pounds It wasn't like a drive to go be Navy SEAL I was an insecure lying kid afraid
Starting point is 00:40:48 I had to look in my insecurities in my fear and find drive and that we're all looking for passion passion is all around you. You have a whole stack of it all around you. It's your insecurities. It's all in there. All the energy and fuel you need is right in yourself. It's all there.
Starting point is 00:41:11 You got a lot of stuff to do to overcome. And, you know, that's where I found it. I found it right there in my own insecurities. I found drive in my own insecurities. And that's the most powerful thing in the world. When you can find drive in your own doubt, fear, insecurities, you become very unstoppable. I need you to work on yourself.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Are you hearing me? Look, you can't change what you can't change. Stop trying to change the situation. It's not yours to change. Stop trying to change your wife. Stop trying to change your husband. Stop trying to change your kids. Stop trying to change your boss.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Stop trying to change the program. If you can change it, it would be changed. There's only one person you can change, baby, and that person is you. Work on yourself. If you are feeling down, if you are feeling unmotivated, you have to rewrite the story. You've been telling yourself so that you can step into a new level of abundance to say it until you feel it. You've got to say, I will rise until you literally see yourself rising above all the doubt, all the worry and all the stress. and all the stress you've been under.
Starting point is 00:42:39 The time is now. Redemption is at hand. What do you do? Do you stand and fight? Do you sit and wait? Or do you become a warrior? Not too many people are ready. Not too many people
Starting point is 00:43:07 are built for it, but you must take that stand. I am strong, I am ready, and I will dedicate myself because I have been redeemed. So stop saying it's too hard. Stop saying you don't know what to do. It's time to change your inner conversations. It's time for you to go back and get everything that was taken from you. It's time to go back and recover your losses.
Starting point is 00:43:43 It's time for you to rise up. It's time for you to get up. It's time for you to go higher, go faster, test your limits. I will not give up. I will not quit. I will live this life through all of the heartaches and pains. And I will continue on until my last breath. Better than I was yesterday.
Starting point is 00:44:19 I am the best of myself, not the worst. Nothing will hold me back. If it did not create me, it will never break me. For I am redeemed. And this is a moment of redemption. You are chosen for this moment. Let's go. When you're pursuing your greatness, you live from a place of the willingness to live life courageously,
Starting point is 00:45:06 to be willing to take chances, to become a risk taker, to make impact, to go beyond believing, to knowing, to lean not unto your own understanding, to feel within yourself, there's some cause as something that's bigger than me but I'm never alone in facing this there's a presence that will never leave me nor forsake me and that when you step into that place more of thee less of me that that there's a place where we can go within ourselves there are things that we can accomplish things that we can do that I has not seen, ear has not heard, nor is in our heart of mankind what God has in store for us. When we surrender, life to me, when you're pursuing your greatness, you find something that you love, that you surrender to that.
Starting point is 00:46:09 That something gives you life and that you turn yourself over to that and allow yourself to be used in my life. When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and I was pondering about my life, am I going to beat this? And I was reading his words for comfort, and he said, the ideal situation for a man or woman to die is have family members praying with them as they cross over. But imagine being on your deathbed and standing around your bed the ghost of the dreams, the ideas, the abilities given. to you by life, but you for whatever reason, you never pursued those dreams, you never
Starting point is 00:46:57 acted on those ideas, you never used those gifts, and there they are looking at you with large angry eyes saying, we came to you, and only you could have given us life, and now we must die with you forever. The question is, if you died today, what dreams, what ideas, what gifts will die with you? As I face inevitable death, what in the meaning and purpose of my life that will not be undone or destroyed when I'm gone? My goal now, we learn, we earn, we pass it on. We should be ashamed to die until we've made some major contribution to humankind. I think it's important that people find something that gives their life a sense of meaning and value that that's.
Starting point is 00:47:52 drives them that becomes their magnificent obsession. Because we live in a world where we're told more about our limitations rather than our potential, we go to our graves never knowing who we really are. How do we develop a sense of belief? What I'm hearing you say is belief is one of the most important things we can have with ourselves. It's an ongoing process. I encourage people to read at a minimum of 30 to 40 pages of something positive every day to program your mind and all of us can do that.
Starting point is 00:48:29 We can go to the library and check out books. When I think about Alc Mandino, who wrote the greatest salesman in the world, he was on the verge of committing suicide, went to the library, read the book, Think and Grow Rich, and his life turned around. Your mindset, your diet, and positive relationships, giving yourself a healing, nurturing environment, strengthens your immune system.
Starting point is 00:48:51 It allows you to stay here longer and do your great work. So you have to program yourself or your mind will be programmed. In order to do something you've never done, you've got to become someone you've never been. You've got to become a risk taker. This God said if you're not willing to risk, you can't grow. And if you can't grow, you can't become your best. And if you can't become your best, you can't be happy. And if you can't be happy, then what else is there?
Starting point is 00:49:20 When you find something that you love, you will study it, something that you love that become, not just confident, but you will become competent on that. I pour myself into it. I lose myself into it because it's not about me, it's about the audience. Ask for help, not because you're weak, but because you want to remain strong and don't stop until you get it. I tell people you're going to face tough times, but I affirm no matter how bad it is or how bad it is, I'm going to make it. You don't get in life what you want, you get in life what you are. Develop your communication skills because once you open your mouth you tell the world who you are. It's a live a life of contribution.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Decide that you are going to live your life in such a way as Harzman said you should be ashamed to die until you made some major contribution to humankind. And I want to find other people who have that kind of magnificent obsession, who have that kind of conviction about their lives, who want to make that kind of model. that kind of mob of their lives. Can I, with the time that I have left, amplify and train and multiply voices of hope and create a better? And we all have an expiration date.
Starting point is 00:50:43 So live your life from a place of love. I have experienced so many setbacks, so many losses. I have been angry. I have cried at night. I even felt sorry for myself. If I'm going to be great at something, What good am I if everything that I come in front of breaks me down to where I can't carry myself anymore?
Starting point is 00:51:26 You got to be willing to go through the pain, to go through the struggle, to know that your existence matters. You have something that is inside of you right now that you possess, that must be awakened, that must have the fire to rise again, to push again, to wake up again. I'm not a victim. I'm an overcomer. You see, crossing the finish line wasn't easy, but ridiculous. Redemption feels so good. You see, when you step into a season of redemption, you begin to experience breakthrough after breakthrough, after breakthrough.
Starting point is 00:52:29 And you are compensated for all of the pain and the discomfort that you've had to endure. We all face unforeseen battles. And sometimes these battles are not meant for us to win at that time. But that does not mean that you stop living. That doesn't mean that you give up now. You've been through hell. You've been through pain. You've been through disappointment.
Starting point is 00:53:04 You've been overlooked and misunderstood. But that's all behind you. It's time for you to get everything you've ever wanted. and more. Are you willing to show up like you've never shown up before? It's time for you to shine. Your day of redemption is here. It will never be an easy day.
Starting point is 00:53:29 But it's a day for redemption. It's a day to be able to lift your head up and say, I am here, I am strong, I am willing, I'm not done yet. It's been a long time coming, but I'm back. I'm back. I'm stronger. I am willing and I'm ready to fight. I might be wounded, but I will not be defeated.
Starting point is 00:54:06 In spite of everything that I've been up against, I will rise. This is a time for redemption. Redeem yourself. Get back in the fight again. The greater the challenge, the greater the reward. Focus on the opportunities that are available to you. Yes, things have happened in your life. Yes, not getting the outcome you expected hurts. Yes, you have been beaten a few times in your life.
Starting point is 00:54:44 But being beaten doesn't mean. that you're done. Yes, having to pick yourself up after being knocked down is hard. But those are just temporary moments. Those are temporary moments that you will get through and bounce back from. You got to turn it up and you've got to turn it up right now. In this very moment, you have the power to shift your energy. You have the power to shift your thoughts. You have the power to shift your thoughts. You have the power to shift your results. You must be willing to stand up, to fight as hard as you can,
Starting point is 00:55:32 to understand within yourself, that purpose must be fulfilled within you. Redemption is at hand. You have more power than you realize. It's all up to you. Will. No, you have to say it like you mean it. Will.
Starting point is 00:56:02 If today's going to be good, I got to heal from the mistakes that were made yesterday. I've got to believe that I don't have to make the same mistakes. It's time to heal. Today I heal. Today I heal from every mistake that is made. Today I heal from everything that I said that I could have said better and everything that was said to me that I wish was never said. I heal today from the people that pushed me verbally
Starting point is 00:56:40 but did not support me physically that were never present. Today I heal, I heal, I heal from what I did not have. I heal from what I did have that I did not want. Today I heal. After we heal, we have to acknowledge what went wrong. What could I have done differently? What boundaries did I allow to be breached relationally financially with my investments, with my mindset? Where did I put my energy?
Starting point is 00:57:11 And I didn't get anything back in return. It's like investing in a vending machine with a sign owner that says out of order. And I'm convinced that many of us invest in people and places that are just simply out of order. And this is why we're drained. And this is why we're tired. And this is why we're weary and well-doing. And this is why the day is mundane. And it's the same-all, same-all.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Something's got to change with you. I'm just wondering if you're going to repeat the cycle. If the redundancy of mediocrity is going to continue, we've got purpose and we've got fulfillment and we've got destiny breathing down our necks. Let's accept the truth. This is the only way the day matters is if we get aware of what's happening and what's going on. What has my attention?
Starting point is 00:58:07 Do I have the attention span of a toddler or a champion? And so once we accept where we are and we accept that truth, we got to give ourselves time to heal. We get to learn from not only our mistakes, but learn from others' mistakes. We have to study why we fail. how we fail and we've got to ensure that we never do it again. If you're going to win the war for the day, you're going to have to have a high threshold for pain.
Starting point is 00:58:47 We'll be offended. People will let you down. People will lie to you. Places, circumstances, life will unfold and unravel. This life will knock you in your mouth. Because you got to say focused. Even when it's painful, even when we're ostracized, even when we're excommunicated and ghosted, it may hurt, but that pain will subside.
Starting point is 00:59:16 If you're going to crush this day, this week, this month, this quarter, and this year, and if the rest of your life is going to be the best of your life, you're going to have to think differently, plan differently, set the goal. and you're going to have to write it down. You've got to get clear, you've got to get specific, and once you get specific, what you wrote down mandates what you do. I said it before, I say it again. Oftentimes the day feels mundane and meaningless because we are directionless.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Write the vision down. Get clear, get specific, write it down, documented. get serious about it. Write it. Read it. If you want to see success, then you need to make the planning stages significant and you need to see the value in the process. We want wealth, but we don't want a plan. We want success, but we don't want significance. We want connection, but we don't want correction. I've got to write it down and not only write it down, but I need my circle of accountability to correct things that may be wrong.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Because if you're trying to build this dream and walk in your destiny by yourself, if you think you can pull it off with no help, with no purpose partner, then it's too small. I'm speaking healing over you. I'm speaking breakthrough over you. I'm speaking that you walk into your future, that you'll let go of what was to step into what is. I believe this for you. I believe that as you become and not just do, that what you're going. What you seek will pursue you. Destiny will begin to chase you down.
Starting point is 01:01:23 No matter how far you have sunk, no matter how hard you have fallen, you've got enough grit, you've got enough grace, you've got enough faith, you've got enough courage to stand up. It's time to rise. This is your day. Get up and conquer your day.
