New episodes are being released every week.
The link is in the description.
Life, how beautiful it is, how amazing it is,
to be able to rise up in the morning
and have that sun shine on your face
rather than on your grave.
What makes life so unique and so beautiful?
It is beautiful because whatever you have that you may be facing, what you may be dealing with,
life is still good.
Life has so many moving parts, but life is always good.
Every day is a new day and another opportunity that others may not have.
This life that you have been given, this life that you are temporarily holding on to,
This life that has been just given to you for only temporary reasons has more meaning than you can never imagine.
So many people in the world take life for granted instead of realizing that you have to take the opportunity to limit the best way you know how.
Now on this journey of life, you're going to face a significant amount of circumstances, a significant amount of challenges.
You're gonna fall into areas that you cannot understand.
And maybe it's not in a position for you to understand at that moment.
When you start to feel that you are in a position, that you don't love your life,
then shame on me.
Because your life is a beautiful day.
And no one deserves to ruin it.
No one deserves to control it.
No one deserves to steal your joy.
Your life is your life and you have the right to live it the best way you can.
You must discipline yourself and take full control and responsibility for the outcome
or whatever it is that you are seeking at this moment.
Life, my friends, it's a test of your grit, your determination.
when things get tough and trust me it will you got to remember one thing it's not how hard you hit it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward you see Rocky Boa boy he said that these words stuck with him because life ain't just about the victories it's about the battles you fought to get there it's about the failures that's about the failures that
echo of the doubters that didn't have the perseverance to keep chasing the dreams that
they wanted so they told you to stop chasing yours but we're not going to listen to the
echoes of the doubters we're going to listen to our soul we're going to listen to the
warrior that lives inside of us all that tells us it's not about our circumstances
it's about our opportunities and not just about those opportunities it's about
seizing those opportunities every chance you get.
Because ladies and gentlemen, I gotta tell you that these opportunities are not going to come back around.
Do you have what it takes to make through this journey?
I'm telling you, young king, keep fighting because your life depends on it.
Today we're going to reach for the dreams where they said we couldn't reach them.
It's your job to rise like the phoenix and show the world.
What you have to offer?
Life is going to be hard.
No one said it was supposed to be easy.
Isn't fair?
Sometimes you just got to do it alone.
What do you do?
How do you live?
How do we get through it?
You got to stand up.
You got to get up.
The path that you have chosen
was never designed to be easy.
Some people want it easy
But I dare you to go the hard way
What do we do with the life that has been given
How do we face
The circumstances that have been brought before us
Do we give up?
Do we stand up? Do we push through?
Those are the questions
That we ask each and every day
when we are faced with adversity.
Hard times create tough mass.
Tough mass creates tough characters.
But you've got to carry on.
So when it gets tough, you've got to get tougher.
When you're standing on your own two feet and the storm is coming in,
you still got to stand.
And sometimes you just got to stand alone.
Greatness requires work and hard work is how you get it.
You don't give up because it's hard.
You don't give up because it's challenging.
You don't give up on you.
Let the hard work begin.
So when you're standing alone,
make sure you stand with a pure heart.
with a great mindset because there's no one like you there's nothing that can stop you no one can do the
things that you do no one can stand like you do you have to keep going you have to be truthful to who you are
inside it was never designed to be easy don't give up go for it the question is
How hungry are you?
How much are you willing to give of yourself?
Because it's really ultimately up to you.
You can't sit around and waste time.
You can't sit around and determine that everything is going to go your way
because it will not go your way all the time.
But I tell you what?
If you keep laying around wasting time,
time is going to continue to carry on with or without you
because you have already decided to land your way.
bid because you were just too tired to get up.
It's up to you to make a difference so that you can be a difference maker.
It's up to you to be a solution and not a problem.
That means you've got to be serious and you got to be willing and you got to be dedicated.
You got to take that leap of faith.
I understand it will never be easy.
understand that I got to work. I understand that sometimes I want to give up, but I will not
give up. So while you're sitting around, moping around, blaming everybody for what you're not
doing, guess what? Nobody's going to sit around and wait for you to do the right thing for
yourself because it's all up to you. So just get busy. You are on your way. Success doesn't have
time for your excuses. Success doesn't have time for your laziness. Success doesn't have time for the
person who doesn't truly want to change. See, I know you are scared, return that fear, and
fire. We've all been there. We've all been afraid of something. But don't give up. You keep trusting. You keep believing. You keep going. Embrace the suck. And keep on fighting. It's okay that you failed. But don't think you don't have what it takes. Don't doubt. Don't be ashamed.
Trust in who you are must work.
I must believe.
I will fight.
I will work.
I will push.
And I will never quit on me.
I know that I have to work.
I know that I have to believe.
I know I have to trust in me.
You got to show up.
Sometimes we are going to have to just deal with the circumstances
and the challenges.
that we face, you can't be soft.
You can't be weak and expect the greatness
to come out of you.
You can't expect anything good to come out of nothing.
If you're not giving nothing, you get nothing.
Now get up and do your work.
When it comes to the work ethic, that's
when you have to dig deeper.
That's when you have to work harder.
That's when you have to shut out all the noise and all the naysayers.
Sometimes, ladies and gentlemen, you just have to be quiet and listen to your passion.
Listen to your heart.
Listen to your truth.
It's okay sometimes because these things are going to happen no matter.
how hard you work but you don't have the right to give up you don't have the right to
give in and stop playing a blame game and go about your business when you have been
pushed back push back even harder I dare you to go down that path that many
refuse to go pain passion focus focus faith
You put it together.
You will be an unstoppable force.
I'm telling you, the one thing you cannot get back is time.
It is your greatest asset.
I give somebody some of my money for a couple more years to be with my wife.
Time is the greatest enemy.
You're thinking it is infidelity.
The greatest enemy, you're thinking that as finances.
You're thinking that as in-laws.
You're thinking that as differences.
No, no, no.
It is time.
to learn how to do it our time we got to learn to tend to it guard it keep it i just want to make
sure that the life we got left that is sweeter than the life that if i would give up or if i wasn't
focused and i wasn't doing i'm supposed to do so when you've been with somebody since you 16 years old
and they got a chronic illness don't you know it's easy for me to go drink it's rough my life
it ain't what it used to be before she got sick like why god is blessing her she still got ems
i lost five hours to cancer you don't think i could have smoked some weeks
You don't think when I'm going through that pressure, I couldn't have broke, but you talked about it.
Mental toughness.
It is in those times.
We have to be stronger than we've ever been before.
Why?
Because they need us more than they ever need us before.
And you guys are blessed in that you are the one percenters.
Not only people want to be in your life who want the life that you have and you got it.
And you're not taking it serious?
Like, you know how many people would die to have had his life?
You know how many people would die to be on the field on Sunday?
You know what people would die to eat the way y'all eat?
You know how to gear your got?
You know how the people would die to get on these planes and travel the wall?
You know the other people would die to have your life and you got it.
It's your life, you got it, what you're going to do with it?
You gotta be able to see it when it cannot be seen.
You have to see it happening.
You have to believe in the unseen because if you can't believe in it, you will never manifest it.
But when you believe in it, you demand the universe to assist you and
what you're doing and if you can see it before everybody else can see it then it's going
eventually come to you forget about January forget about February forget
about March you about April forget about May forget about June forget about July
forget about August forget about September it's over so forget about the past
listen to me and make the rest of your life the best of your life it's your boy
I know you can do it I believe you could do it go out there get up get out go get
so are you wasting your time or are you using your time wisely you can replace
money you cannot get a year back but you already got it right you already have it all
I need to do is believe in yourself where you say ET my teacher don't

need nobody else to make your dreams become reality I don't need them to believe
me I don't need them to encourage me I don't need them to pump me up to motivate me
I'm my own motivation all you need is a dream all you need is a goal because once you get your
goal you activate it you come alive you come to life you come to life you come alive you are you are
once you have a goal you got something to wake up to you got something to go to bed for all right
what you are to be you're now becoming I earn the right to be here I grind it to be here
I get up at 3 o'clock in the morning the last 13 years giving our content every
day. I deserve to be here. Don't talk to me like that.
You're gonna say what I'm trying to tell you. See because I grind so hard, I work so hard
that when I get this opportunity, like I don't play with it. I don't act like I deserve to be here.
I think about my ancestors and what they went through and that's why I'm here.
So the first thing I need y'all to do is that I know you sweet.
What I'm trying to tell you, this is different, this different baby.
This ain't high school. This ain't college.
Like this ain't for funsy. Like, this is somebody's lifestyle.
style and people going out there getting it and if something happens to you I
promise you if something happened to you as sweet as you are you gonna be what
come on you gotta talk back to me you gonna be what replace said again you
gonna be what that ought to scare you that all that ought to scare you that all
scare you that alone ought to make you wake up every day and say I cannot
afford to be replaced and you're running out of time you don't you don't know
how much time you have you keep telling yourself you got time
And watch what happens.
Now, on your mark, get set, go.
You are running out of time, all right?
I'm gonna say it again.
You are running out of time.
Two weeks, my man told his grandfather,
I'm graduating two weeks later,
even before he literally marked his grandfather,
pad, who's gonna pass in your life as you have?
Who's not gonna see you blow up?
Who's not gonna see you accomplish your goals?
Who's not gonna be able to enjoy
the fruits of your labor
you who put in why because you have it and one day you're gonna be great but you
think you got time you think you got time ain't ET three years or not five
years or not I'm telling you you deserve to be great now and not only do you deserve to be
great there's some people in your life listen to me you're running out of time
that's right you got a job and you knew at it yep you knew what your job and you like ET
look I just got here I got forever listen to me very closely you got to hear me you might
be at that job another 10 years. You might be there another 20 years. But that opportunity,
somebody's about to leave and get another job, hear me very closely. Somebody's about to quit,
somebody's about to get fired and you will not, listen to me, you will not be ready at that
particular moment to go to the next level. We're not talking about the job right now. We
talk about an opportunity. You never know when your opportunity is that opportunity. It may not
be two years from now. It may not be three years from now. It may not be four years from now.
Your opportunity might come in the next six weeks. Your opportunity to get your mama out
of that neighborhood and get your mama into a new neighborhood. Listen to me, that opportunity
might come in the next six months. The question is, will you be ready when that opportunity
comes? So you're running out of time. One minute you're doing it the next minute, you're not.
One month you're doing it the next minute you're not. We're not talking about consistency right now.
We talked about consistency before.
We're not talking about consistency right now.
I'm talking about residents.
You've got to surrender to that thing.
You can't be playing with it.
Should I quit?
Should I give up or should I keep going?
Listen to me.
I can't tell you what you should do.
But I'm going to ask you this question.
What's in your seed?
This is not for the head.
This is for the heart.
What's the seed to you?
What is it worth to you?
What is it worth?
What is it worth?
What is it worth to you?
I don't know what your seed is.
I don't know what your harvest is going to be when it's fully developed.
I don't know if you should abort right now or not.
I don't know if you should quit or you should give up, but I'm going to ask you this.
What's the value of your seed?
I know my seed.
I couldn't give up.
Homeless, I still couldn't give up.
12 years ago, I couldn't give up.
I'm one class guy.
The staff of the PAD.
I can't give up.
Why?
Because of value.
What is worth?
What I put in?
I put in too much.
I've given too much.
I've given too much.
I've given up sleep.
sleep. I've given up friendship. I've given up, I've given up so much stuff that I had to get back
later. Why? Because the value, I put too much in it. What can work for you? What does it cost?
What price have you paid for? What has it cost you? And if it cost you something, then you bet not quit
until you get an harvest. You cannot get a year back. And you're going to fail, and you're going to
fail and you're going to fail and you're going to fail and then you're going to win and that's life.
Life without those challenges, it's existence. Don't just exist. Go live. Eventually, inaction will
cost you. But your default setting should be, I'm going to do something. Just get up, move towards
that challenge and go attack it. Go do something that's hard. Struggle sucks. Depends on how you frame it.
If you want freedom in your life, you have to have discipline.
Move towards that challenge, whatever that challenge is.
And you may be successful, and you may not be successful, but you will be better.
And the next challenge, you're going to be more prepared for.
Because we're going to have wins, we're going to have losses.
We're going to have successes.
We're going to have failures.
We're going to have good nights.
We're going to have bad nights.
We're going to have good relationships.
We're going to have bad relationships.
We're going to have good ideas and bad ideas.
We're going to make money.
We're going to lose money.
All these things are going to happen.
And if you oscillate emotionally, up and down drastically, it's going to be problematic.
Embrace those emotions, but don't let those emotions embrace you.
Keep pushing through things that suck.
This is a very difficult thing to do because it hurts.
I'm going to go forward.
I'm not going to quit.
So I'm going to go forward.
Bring it on.
When you talk to people that went to seal training that didn't
make it most of the time, it's some reason.
There's a medical reason.
There's a family problem.
There's very few people that look at you and say, oh, I quit because it sucked,
which is what happens to the vast majority of people.
The vast majority of people that don't make it through seal training,
they didn't make it through because they quit.
Your excuses will destroy you and take everything that you ever wanted from you if you let them.
when your excuses make you feel a little bit better
about the fact that you didn't execute
on what you needed to execute on,
then they can make you feel better,
but they're not helping you.
They're not helping you at all.
This went wrong, this failed, didn't accomplish this,
and it's not the fault of my boss,
it's not the fault of my girlfriend,
it's not the fault of my parents,
it's not the fault of the weather, it's my fault.
And I'm going to take ownership of it,
and I'm going to fix it.
That's what extreme ownership is.
Because when you look around at your life
and you look around at your job
and your financial situation
and your relationship and your physical health,
and when you look at all those things
and all the problems that you may have with those things
and you say the reason I have all those problems
is because of me, that can hurt.
That can sting.
And a lot of times our ego rejects that
and makes excuses.
and lies. And then we don't have to change anything. And then nothing changes.
When the excuses all go away and people can actually confront the fact that this is all because of me,
it hurts, but is also unbelievably empowering. Because the more discipline you have in your life,
the more freedom you will end up with. So if you lack the discipline to exercise and eat healthy,
you will end up being a slave to disease.
If you lack the discipline to work hard, save your money,
you will end up a slave to finances.
If you lack the discipline to manage your time correctly,
you will end up with no free time.
If you have self-discipline,
if you have the discipline to save your money and work hard
and invest your money properly.
If you have the discipline to manage your time correctly
and not waste a bunch of time,
if you have the discipline to exercise and eat healthy,
you will end up with freedom.
And you're going to start to progress
in every aspect of your life.
And you'll see that if you have that kind of discipline right now,
you're going to end up with freedom.
If you have discipline, you will attain freedom.
Go try and accomplish something that's hard.
You may win.
You may lose.
You may succeed, you may fail.
I'll tell you what, you'll be better.
And if you don't have that kind of discipline,
and you don't work hard,
and you don't exercise,
and you don't apply yourself,
you're going to end up shackled.
So if you're in the woods and you don't know where to go,
start walking.
You've got to start walking,
because the perspective is not going to change.
You have to start moving forward.
But standing there, lost,
and not doing anything is just waiting to die,
waiting to starve to death.
Don't let that happen.
I think it's really important because as men,
we don't, we get conflicting messages about emotion
and how to express it and what that looks like.
And there's a lot of men struggling right now.
Every human faces challenges,
and you don't know what they've been through.
Suppressing them isn't going to help,
and nor is letting them run your life.
because you're sad, now you're going to make a bunch of bad decisions because you're sad.
No, no, it doesn't work like that.
It doesn't work like that.
You're sad.
Okay.
You get emotional sometimes?
Okay.
Got it.
Now, get control of your emotions and carry on with your life.
And sometimes you're going to get hit with those waves.
And that's okay.
I'm having an emotional moment right now.
There's something wrong with me.
No, there's nothing wrong with you.
There's nothing wrong with you.
The other extreme is, oh, I'm letting my emotions run my,
life and I'm making a bunch of bad decisions and my excuses well you know I lost from
friends or I had this traumatic experience happen to me that's why I'm doing that's
just an excuse and it's a very easy excuse guess what it's time to carry on
remember don't dwell I'm in control this is my life if you are in the problem
you won't see the solution to the problem take a step back detach from the chaos
detached from the mayhem, detach from your emotions,
detached from your ego,
and be able to assess the best way to execute
that is the job of a leader.
If you take any trait of a human being
and you take it to an extreme,
masculine or feminine or otherwise,
you take it to an extreme, it's going to be a problem.
Is it good to have no emotions whatsoever?
No, that's called a sociopath.
Is it good to let your emotions
run your life and make your decisions
based on your emotions? No, that's not good either. What do we want to be as a human, as a man?
I want to be balanced. It's much easier to be extreme. It's much easier to say, oh, no emotions,
cool, and turn them off. That's easier. Or total emotion, mayhem, that's easier. It's harder
to find balance. It's harder to find balance. In business, it's hard to find balance in life. It's
hard to find balance. But you have to be balanced. Because what I want is for the team to win.
be balanced. You feel alone, you feel ashamed, you're concerned about what people are thinking about
you right now. You feel that you have no way out. You feel that you can't go on. This idea
that you have of yourself makes you feel that you're not alive anymore. It's like walking the
earth with no sense of knowing your truth. The mistakes that you've made in your life, you feel
that you can't come back from it. But I'm here to let you know. It's just not your time yet to
get to the best level in your life. It's not your time yet to have that success story.
Who says that you can't struggle a little bit? Who says that you can't stumble?
Do you realize your best stories are the ones that you triumph from?
Do you realize that the time that you're falling down and having the ability to get up is the best time to celebrate?
Because that's when you know there is something good about you, that's something special about you, there's something unique about you.
I'm going to lose some battles, but I'm not done.
I'm going to get pushed back a few times, but I'm not done.
This is an opportunity for me to get stronger, to get better, to recognize that I do have work to do.
Because I am a working progress.
And as long as I'm living, I'm progressing in this world.
As long as you're living, you are progressing in this world.
So struggle.
as much as you need to.
But keep working through your struggles.
Don't have regrets because the regrets are only going to make you feel less of who you are.
We're not meant to always have a good day.
But this is a day to celebrate breathing.
To celebrate life, to celebrate another day, to carry on the good fight.
And that's what we're doing, ladies and gentlemen.
We are fighting every day of our lives.
So don't feel that you have to feel regret because things are not going the way you want them to go.
Sometimes what you want ain't going to always be what you need.
We have to realize that it's just not your season
And we all got a season
We're all going to live
And someday, physically, we're going to leave here
But while you're alive,
just keep living your life
Start understanding that these things
that you are dealing with are necessary
Because we had to go through it
Sometimes those things that you're trying to build up, they can crumble right before you.
Many opportunities will be given, and many of them will be taken away.
Sometimes being different can be very difficult.
That's when you got to dig in a little bit deeper in yourself.
That's when you've got to open up your eyes and open up your heart and have an open mind.
that you are unique, that you are special, that you do make a difference, that you are touching
somebody's life.
So don't be ashamed.
Don't have regrets.
Just live.
Just make life better.
Get knocked down, just keep getting up again.
Because if your heart is beating, you're not dead.
You're alive, you're breathing.
A little bit more fight in you.
So fight.
Don't regret.
Don't be ashamed.
Don't be ashamed.
Don't be afraid.
Take a chance.
Keep taking more chances.
When other people are looking down on you,
you keep looking up.
But look up and look past the negativity.
Because the ones that are looking down,
They don't realize what you're doing to get back up.
While they're looking down focusing on your failures, focusing on your misery, focusing on all of your hardships, they don't realize the fight that you have within you.
That you're not going to quit.
You're not going to give up.
You're not going to regret anything that you have been through.
You're going to embrace it
You're going to suck it up
You're going to pony up
And you're going to keep moving forward
You're going to keep climbing up
And if you slip again
You're going to get back up again
Because death
Ain't got no business in your life right now
Because you're still alive
Death has not showed up yet
And knocked on your door and said it's over
Death ain't got no business with you right now
So stop dying inside.
Stop being regretful and start being thankful.
Be blessed in this life.
Be blessed in your journey.
Be blessed in the steps that you take.
But don't give up.
You got this.
You need this.
You must complete your tag.
It ain't over yet.
Keep going.
Keep fighting.
Keep breathing.
Don't quit.
Work for it.
Earn it every day of your life.
Sometimes it's going to get dark.
But you've got to find the light.
The light is within you.
Believe in you when no one else does.
Understand that your purpose will be.
your purpose will be fulfilled.
It may not be today.
It may not be tomorrow.
It may not be next week.
But it's coming.
And as long as you're alive, you've got to keep going.
I want you to know, ladies and gentlemen, I love you.
I believe in you.
I trust in your abilities.
I trust that you're going to make it.
Do you trust it?
Do you believe?
Are you gonna stand on it?
No more regrets.
You're not dead yet.
They have not put anything that relates to death on your books.
So fight and keep living.
Stay strong in your beliefs.
Stay strong in your life.
If they feel a little bit of emptiness,
you ain't got time to be having anything.
to be having emptiness in your soul fill your soul up again live it up push forward be productive
be powerful and from the bottom of my heart no regrets keep it moving and conduct your business
