The link is in the description. It's going to be a dog fight. I would love to tell you that on the road to success, everything is going to work out. It's not. It's going to be a dog fight. On a road to success, I lost five aunts to 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. I had cousins shot in stores, execution style.

Shot back in head, back in the head twice. It's a dog fight. You don't see that on YouTube. You don't see that on my TGI. It's a dog fight. My wife, three years ago, seven legions found her brain. It's a dog fight. It hasn't been easy.

It's a dog fight. It hadn't been the role. It hasn't been success. Like it's just a paved roll and like each he goes its 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 because 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 to push me to greatness. You will not break me. 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. Say no. Why? Because with enough strength to stay 24 years, you might. You do not have hate. Does not have enough energy to destroy love. But to me at 19. It did happen to me at 20.

It did happen to me at 30. It happened to me at 40. After I have been through all the pressure I thought I could go through life that you can go through life. You finished with all the... I said, yeah. I said let them 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're 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 over here, help me out. You were 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 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? Take scenario. That's what you're not prepared for.

That's what you're not thinking. You're not thinking when you go out there to defend yourself that your gun is going to jail. You're not thinking when you go out there that your boy going to get killed and you've got to 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 50 years in jail. It's not by eye 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 going to be a dog fight. And if you solved, this ain't that you want to get out now. This is where you're like, I quit. But if you're willing to say, I'm not going to quit.

Guarantee you whatever success you want to have, you're going to have it. You will not outbrien you. You won't outbriam you. You can be smarter than me. You won't outbrime. I get up at 3 o'clock in the morning and do videos. I do a video at 3 o'clock. I do a video at 2 o'clock.

I'm putting out so much dog on content. They can't keep up. They smarter than me. They're better to me. I admit I got a GED. I ain't the smartest person in the world. But I get up and do this for D.D. I do this every day for D D D.D.

Because of what Didi 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 going to be stopped to be stopped because you're doing it for yourself. And guess what happened when you get tired?

When you grinding and when you grinding, grinding, grinding hurts. Grinding is a sacrifice. Grinding cost. 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. You never prepared for worst case scenario. 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, 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 when I'm telling you, for a diamond to be produced? 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. 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.

Pressure, you thought you think it's over. Then they turn on the heat. Eating out of trash cans. 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't end you it.
