If we look at your background, you should have been a basket case. You should have had a nervous breakdown and lost your mind. But there's something in your gut, in your heart, in your spirit, in your innermost being that said, hold on. That instinct, that still small voice, is about to turn your life around. And it doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life. because that's going to happen. All that matters is that you've got to get up. Fall down, get back up again.

Fall down, get back up again. Fall down, get back up again. It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. The hardships that we've had

are actually the things that teach us, the skills and the perspectives. We need to actually become what we want to be. And if you quit, if you falter, if you stop, all the pain will be for nothing. Now, if you know what you're worth, not go out and get what you're worth, but you've got to be willing to take the heads and not pointing fingers saying, you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards, do that, and that ain't you.

You're better than that. Get control of yourself. Get control of your emotions. Don't get angry, don't get frustrated. Instead, stay calm and figure out how to move forward. Don't you stop until you turn that house into a home, that mess into a message, that test into a testimony. Don't you stop until you see increase. Whatever it is I want, this price is going to get much higher than this.

It's going to get harder than this. And I've decided in advance it's going to be difficult, and I've decided in advance to stay in. I'm going to stay in the hunt. I'm going to stay fighting. I'm going to stay busting it. I'm going to pay the price until I get what it is that I deserve. The people in life that win play offense, not defense. Stop backing into everything. Stand up. Bow your back a little bit. Start to walk a little different. Start to be that best version of you. You need to look yourself in the mirror and encourage yourself and say, I'm still gifted. I've been through some pain, but I'm still gifted. I've buried some loved ones, but I'm still gifted.

I've had some setbacks, but I'm still gifted. You have to resolve yourself today that you're going to win, that you're going to dominate, that you're not average and ordinary. There has to become a point where you make a decision. We're going to dominate. We're here to win. We are not here to play. And that takes some intestinal fortitude.

It takes a decision. I'm where I'm at because I just flat decided. At some point, I get to choose who I am. The World doesn't tell me who I am. And in every family, there's a the one that eventually shows up in a family. They rise up and changes the whole family forever. I'm the damn one. And in your family, you could be the one.

It's you. You've got to make it your personal business to make it happen. And you've got to resolve within yourself that I'm the one. I'm the one to make this happen. I'm the one to become successful in this business. But you know it's going to be hard, but find out what will make it worth it for you. When life drops you to your knees, your reasons will help you get back up. Why are you here less?

because I want to make Mama proud of me. Why are you here, lass? I promise my kids I'm going to do for them. I'm going to give them a better life. I want to leave them a legacy. I'm not going to give up. Go back. Go back.

Fool, go back. No, no. The people that are running after their dream, know they're going to have hard times. They keep running because they're saying within themselves, I'm the one, I'm the one. No matter how bad it is or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it.
