The link is in the description. You're pushing and you're pushing and you're pushing and you're pushing and you're doing everything right. I'm not coach right now. I'm your conscience. You're in a fight between will and skill. I say will first because that's where you are. You locked and loaded with skill. You practicing every day.

You're putting in your work. You're buying everything. You're making the investment. You're living your dream. You're walking like your dream. You're surrounding yourself around your dream. You got mentors everything. You're putting your working.

You got your skill. Now it's the test of your will. It's a mindset thing you're in right now. It's a mindset thing. Because your challenge. Your challenge ain't moving. Your mountain is 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're not making progress, you're in the test of your will right now, because life says it has a little more test for you. You look at your challenge with skill, and it will see it just as that, a challenge, and your challenge see it as much. Understand this and listen to me clearly.

You may forget this face, you may forget this voice, you may forget who told you, but get your pads 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 remember, or you can make choices that ultimately make you a legend. If you put as much time into working on winning as you put into thinking about losing, you'd already be a champion. When are we going to get tired of just knowing and seeing successful people and become one of them?

Time is out to sit up and just make these average decisions to be make these irrelevant decisions that don't change you. Don't change your family. Don't change society. Don't change your environment. Don't change the world. It's time to make decisions that make you a legend. We see it every day. But the only difference, baby, you're going to make a choice to just be remembered.

Or you're going to make a choice to become a legend. We got to stop quitting. We got to stop giving up. all this T G-G-I-F, T-G-I-F, it is now T-G-I-A. Thank God I'm alive. We open our eyes and we're in our right mind. We live as though we really appreciate that opportunity. And every time I see a post, every time I see a tweet or just anything, I want to ask the person,

why are you thanking God? It's Friday. Hello, newsflats. Tomorrow is Saturday, but day after that it's Sunday. Sunday, the day after back is Monday. What do you thanking God it's Friday for? Because you're preparing to quit. You're preparing to stop what you doing. You're prepared to clock out. You're prepared to go home and you in the mental mindset for do nothing. I dare you to get prepared for the challenges of your life by getting rid of comfort. I dare you. I dare you. I dare you when you find that job, that if you don't have a ride the work that you want and then when you get there, you take the stairs. I

I dare you not pretend to break, baby. I dare you to work through your lunch. I dare you it when it's hot, that you work fast, when it's cold. You work longer. I dare you learn something new today that you didn't know yesterday. I dare you to.

I dare you to run past that shell. I dare you to look at it and say, look, I'm more than this right now. I can't panic of it. I dare you to live with your obstacle like a mountain. I dare you to stop running from it. I dare you just to stop throwing away food

because you're scared we're eating at night. I dare you to stop taking detour because it's a crack out on the corner and it's a liquor store on the street. I dare you to start running from your addiction. I dare you start running from the old people and become. Man, you know you can become. Mountains aren't going to move. You gotta climb that bad for it, baby.

You cannot get what you want in your life. You've got to be as comfortable. Comfort is... Because you have a consistency versus an intensity problem. Consistency is when you do something. Intensity is how you do something. And that's why you do something. many of you no matter what you do no matter how much you do it no matter who you're

looking at no matter what you read you don't be denied because you think that just being consistent at something is going to let you win and just that earns you the right to win that I'm being denied that corner office I'm being denied that car I'm denied this quality of life I'm being denied that opportunity scholarship I keep getting cut off the team you know if I just stay if I just keep practicing I just stay around this team sooner or later I'll make it no you won't no you won't Because consistency does not guarantee you the win. Many of you, as bad as you don't want to accept this,

you're never going to win because you're not intense enough. Until you get intense to the point that nothing, nothing will get in your way, that you will not get in your way. You'll never win. It's time to get real. It's time to get raw. It's time to look ourselves in the mirror. and come to the resolve that this version of ourself

is not going to carry us in the stretch. I've been this version of myself long enough that if I don't change, if I don't do something about this, then I'm going to find myself bankrupt. For me to understand, for me to be better, for me to be stronger,

I must learn to suffer. for a little bit. I must learn to struggle a little bit. I cannot reap the rewards of success without understanding about struggles. Success is not automatic. You don't get things just because you want them. You achieve your goals only when you are disciplined enough to keep showing up when you don't feel like it.

You're going to put the blood, you're going to put the sweat, you're going to put the sweat, You're going to put the tears in. You're going to lose sleep. You're going to go daze without eating. You're going to do whatever it takes to make the sacrifices necessary to manifest. There are too many people in your life who have left you. There are too many people in your life who have counted you out. There are too many people in your life who have whispered in your ear and said,

you'll be worse off without them. Prove them wrong. Just a dreamer? Are you a person who can grind until they execute? Somebody who can make that dream of reality. Is that true? Clear on what you want in life. And you do that by starting with the way you want to feel.

How do you want to feel every single day when you get up? Every day that I get up, I want to be on fire. I want to do the things that I'm passionate about. I want to write. I want to speak. I want to create. I want to get in front of people and change lives. This is what I want to do every single day of my life.

I wanted somebody to look at people. wanted somebody to look at me and say, I believe in you. But that's the way it's always been in my life. See, when you dream big, it's like you speak a different language. The common man, the average person will not understand a person who is dreaming on the next level. I know I'm talking to somebody out there right now who can relate to what I'm saying. You got dreams, you got ambitions, that nine to five job is just not enough for you. You got this grand goal of Cochran the But no one around you believes you. Listen to me champion. Don't get discouraged by that You see the common man the average person

They can only see with their eyes But the greats the legends the difference makers the ones that have rocked and shake this globe They saw with their mind It don't take faith to dream small You see the world belongs to the bold and the rest of this spectator Do you want your legacy here on earth to be? When you are dead and gone, what do you want people to say about you? Don't be scared to dream big.

Thinking that this ain't got nothing to do with me. It's got everything to do with you. Because maybe you got the right things happening right now for you. But to your right, that guy over there, he ain't living so well. But you're learning something. Because if the tables were turned, could you deal with it? Could you handle that stress?

Could you handle that poverty? How long have you been homeless? How long have you been hungry? How long have you not had clothes on your back? How long have you been out of a job? Did your family walk out on you? Did your father walk out on you? Did your mother walk out on you?

Are you going through a bad relationship? Have you lost your way? This is what you're learning right now. Sometimes we all got to learn the hard way. Sometimes as a child, you heard your mother and father tell you not to do something, but you did it anyway. And you had to learn the hard way. It wasn't the fact that you got disciplined, perhaps,

by your parents. But the world disciplines you more. That's what makes it beautiful. The hard times, sometimes can be the best times. Why? Because you're going to build up something. You're going to build up that grit. You're going to build up that tenacity.

You're going to have a better understanding. But you've got to know what direction you're going. And sometimes you may not even know. Sometimes people hate to be wrong. because they feel that they're always right. Sometimes you've got to learn how to listen and not always speak out and thinking that you know so much. Because you're going to learn the hard way

that you're just not that smart. You don't have all the answers. But just people. Walk outside your door. Driving your vehicle up and down the road, you will see how much you can really learn just from people. Some people are going through some significant problems right now, more difficult than you can ever imagine.

You think you got it tough. You have no idea what that other person got going on. This is how we learn. This is how we grow. This is how we build. Yes, you're going to go through those challenges. Yes, you're going to go through some tough times in your life. But like I always say, when it gets tough, you're going to go through those challenges.

You get tough. Kill the excuses. Kill the weakness. And learn something about yourself. Learn that you're not that great, but you're great enough to learn something new every day. And you must learn to humble yourself. Yes, there are people in the world that would literally glorify themselves, as if they were God Almighty himself. But you got to understand you didn't make the world.

You were born in it and eventually you will die in it. But when you're walking this earth, when you're living in this world, understand that you're learning because you're living. Maybe I just don't have all the answers. You should change a little bit. Maybe you need to understand that everything is not going to always go the way you think it should go. If the world was so perfect, we wouldn't be in a position that we are in a position that we are at. position that we are in right now, but it is not the world fault. It's the people that are living in it.

And you, my friend, are a part of it. I am a part of it. And the decisions that we make, the way we think of ourselves, the way we think of our brothers and sisters, would be the true outcome of where we are as a people. So maybe all of these bad things that we are experiencing in our is because it must happen, but we are learning, believe me, we are learning, but we're growing. Maybe some people don't realize the importance of hardship. Maybe some people don't realize that it's okay to go through those hard times. That's what you're learning right now. This is what's going to help you to understand what type of a difference you can make as an individual,

as a human being, as a mother, as a father. What do you do? How can you continue on your life, not realizing that we are all learning? So yes, maybe you think you're awesome. There's nothing wrong with confidence. There's nothing wrong with believing in yourself. So when I say it again,

With conviction none of us are that great We are searching for greatness and that's a long long long long long journey But we could do it together instead of tearing down let's build up Don't tear it down build it up build the bridge cross the bridge with me. Let me cross the bridge with you Let's learn together through the good and the bad. The hard times are going to come, but we're going to stand,

we're going to fight, we're going to push, we're going to work, we're going to give it everything we got because here we are, right now, in this world, do we fall down and stay down, or do we lift each other up and carry on?

That is what we do. This is who we are. We are all students of life. If you're breathing, you're learning. If you're learning, you're living. So carry on to good fight, my beautiful people. Stay productive, stay strong, keep it moving, and from the bottom of my heart, conduct your business. You've gotten this far. If you was going to quit, you should have quit a long time ago. You've come too far to quit now. You need to get a reward for it. That's why I'm trying to tell you, never stop.

up never give me your boy was a high school dropout your boy was homeless are you hearing what I'm saying I slept in the bed in buildings baby you say how did you get here eat because one day I got up and stopped being a victim and I was a victor are you hearing me and I took that one class and that one class turning to two classes and I got my GED and then I went to college and yep I told you it took 12 years but what did I do I never stopped fighting it got harder and it got harder and it seemed the further I climbed, the harder it got. But I didn't stop, I didn't quit.

I just kept fighting and fighting. And then I got to the Masters, and it was harder than the four-year, and it was harder than the GED. But what did I do? I got here, not because I'm the strongest, not because I'm the fastest, not because I'm the best, but I kept fighting and fighting and fighting. Your boy got through the Masters. Now we're at the end of the Ph.D., baby.

Oh, you're not hearing what I'm saying. Now we got the dissertation. And I ain't no writer, and I ain't no intelligent dude, I ain't no scholar, then you say, how are you going to get the B-D? Because I keep fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting and what I will not do is I will not quit. And when that thing tells you to quit, you look at it in his eye and say, I ain't going nowhere.

I will break you before you break me. You will not defeat me. You will not destroy me. Lay hold of it. Some of you are so ignorant. You've been through so much hell. You're going to quit now? You should have quit 10 years ago when you got raped.

You should have quit 10 years ago when he walked out on you. You should have been quit. You don't quit now. It's a 10th round. You got two more to go. And when you get to success, it's not about skill. When you get to a third level success, it's about stamina. It's about stamina. It's about you won't break me.

You can't take me. I fought too long. I fought too hard. If I was going to quit saving, you can't take me. If I was going to quit saving, you, you can't take me. You should have got me in 17. You should have broken me when I was eating out of class. It's too late now. I'm in the rich carlson.

It's too late now. And fighting, and fighting, and fighting. It's too late. I got people's lives like that I think. It's too late. You should have broke me a long time ago. I'm unbreakable now. If you could take this one principle that H.W. gave me,

it revolutionized my life. It's about to revolutionize your life if you were just embrace it. Michael George started, his career started by somebody telling him, no, that there's no way, you're not good enough to play basketball. You hear me? In high school, he was told, you can't play on his team. You're not good enough. Guess what he did?

He kept fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting. And even when he wasn't on the team, he was still fighting and fighting. And when he got cut, he never stopped fighting and fighting, and he came back to next year, made it on Varshani, went to North Carolina, can't listen to me, wasn't even the first round draft, Sam Bowie. Y'all don't even know who that is. Right? Sam Bowie. So he went from all of that adversity. He kept fighting and fighting. He didn't win first year. He didn't win second year. He didn't win third year. He didn't win fourth year. He didn't win the championship fifth year. He didn't win one six year. It wasn't after seven years that he won his first title. Guess what he did?

He kept fighting and fighting and fighting. And when I told my man H.W, listen to me, these brothers have shown me that nothing is impossible. He said, ET, you got it twist. It's past possible. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Revolutionize my life. He said it's past possible. See, this is the thing you got to understand. When somebody say impossible, nothing,

you're still talking about two double negatives. You talk about a negative here, nothing. Negative here, impossible. He said, you got it twisted, Eric. It's not impossible. It's not that nothing is impossible. It's past possible, meaning that there's no way you can't do it.

Oh, you're not hearing me. And when he said that, it changed my thought process because I'm going to keep it real with you. It's past possible. I don't hear me, it's past possible, meaning that not only can you do it, ah, you're going to go way beyond that. It means that the probability of you doing it is greater than you not doing it. You're not here what I'm saying.

When you say it's past possible, that here, not only will you do it, but the odds are in your favor, that's a whole other level. It's past possible, meaning that there's nothing you can't do, that the odds are for you and not against you. So you go get that PhD, so you go get that master, so you go back to school. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Are you hearing what I'm telling you? It's past possible, meaning that all you got to do is start, because if it's past possible, as soon as we start, you know you're going to set records, you know you're going to take it to the next level.

You know what's going to be that you're going to do was never been done before. So I challenge you as past possible. If you're going to win the fight of your life, you can't be afraid to fight. I've come to learn that there's a huge difference between failing and failure. Failing is like stubbing your toe. You know, it happens. It's a verb, you know? It's just something you do.

But failure is a noun. It's an identity. It's a place of where you stay. And I failed a lot, a lot, a lot along the way. But I was never a failure because I kept trying. I kept doing it. And I understood over time that my value wasn't representative of the things that worked or didn't work. It was so frustrating because I was chasing an idea of value, not understanding that I was value to begin with.

A crumpled up $20 bill is still $20. It doesn't lose its value when it's beaten up. You have a right to what you're feeling, but just because you feel it doesn't mean it's real. I'm going to acknowledge that I don't like this. But I'm also going to acknowledge that I don't want to stay in this feeling. Because if I already have to go through this diabetes, I already have to go. through being different, I already have to go through feeling like a monster, I don't have to beat myself up in my own head. If you get a flat tire on the side of the road, you don't

set your car on fire, you deal with the flat tire, but that's what I felt like I was doing, and a lot of people do. A lot of people set the car on fire. Instead of addressing the main issue, they build upon it and make it worse. How can I become more than what's happened to me? How can I become more than this circumstance that I hate? But how can I not let that hate towards a circumstance I can't control. Control me, control me, control. You know, sometimes we get addicted to this like making everything beautiful, making everything like amazing, and sometimes we have to be real. Some situations do suck, they do. And we have to allow them to suck and not invalidate the fact that it does suck. My job is to not let my mind

take over. And that's when I win and when I lose and everything in between. You have a choice between what you think and what you do. And that choice is everything.
