There's enough out here in life that will bring you to your knees. It is literally at the darkest moment when it dawns. When I was at my darkest moments, when I was at my lowest places, my darkest days have been my clearest days, my clearest thoughts. My greatest moments didn't come from my greatest moments. My greatest moments came from my greatest defeats. Because it was doing my defeat that I had to find a way to get back up. We need defeat because iron sharpens iron.

Stop tripping when it get dark and you run it. You're running from your success. But if you got a dream and you got their vision and make your belly leak, don't let nobody tell you you can't do it. Don't let nobody tell you that your dream is not big enough, that it's too small. You gotta keep doing that thing. There's not a dream that has not been fulfilled in my life.

And it's because of tenacity. It's because of grit. It's because I didn't give up. It's like you have to save your own life. Nobody's going to be able to save it for you. So we have to do what we have to do, no matter what it is. Something in this universe, something expects you to become something. More.

That's why I feel so good to become. a more, to give more, to do more, to shape more, to break through, to overcome your fears, to strengthen yourself. You are going to have to understand the concept of three steps forward, two steps back. We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play the one string we have. and that is our attitude.

That's all we can play. I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And when you're in charge of your attitude, you say if it's hard, then do it hard. I won't allow this to stop me. Some of you right now, you think the dream's over. No, no, no, no, no.

You just need a new strategy. You just need to pivot. Guess it's over. No, no, no, no. Change your plan up. Don't change the vision up. Guess the business is over. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Just change your plan up, change your strategy. Pivot, you might fall down, but you can get back up, change your approach. You have something great in you. You can do it. Where you are is temporary. You will not be there for the rest of your life. The first level to success in life is you seeing it.

Winners understand that they're going to win before they even win, because winning is a mentality. winning is something internal. You gotta declare it before you do it. It's done. Every single day we're not waiting for it to happen. We just don't have sight. Site is for people who live in the present. We have vision. We're going to make it happen before it happens. You literally have it in the palm of your hand without having it. I saw myself one day being where I am right now. I don't care where you are. Use what you got to get what you want. Use your mind. Use your vision. your dream. I dream my way out the hood. And then I saw it and then I would get up every day

and I would cry hard. You can't win it if you can't see it. The vision, you got to see yourself winning in practice. You got to see yourself winning the game. I was here before I was here. I envisioned it. I saw it already. If you would just believe it before it happens, if you would just believe that your day coming, that the sacrifices you are making today, they're going pay off. But if you do not believe, it ain't going to happen. You are about to give up on your marriage. You're about to give up on the business. You are about to give up on your dreams. And I know it hurts. And I know you don't want to take it anymore. But don't give up. This fire you're feeling, this frustration you're feeling, this is what is going to make you into the weapon that you are

going to become that will build the life that you are out to build. When the strong have no more left, they fight, they fight, they fight the weak. When they have no more left, they quit, they give up, they surrender, they retreat, and there's nothing weak about you. We take all the negative, we take all the frustration, we take all the things that picks us off. And every single time we feel like quitting, every single time we feel like throwing in the towel, we list down the things that people have said to us, we list down the things that people have done to us, us and we find the energy to go take productive action. How powerful could you be as a creator? As someone who's in search of greatness, you are able to take the positive energy and you're

able to use all the frustration, all the anger, all the pain, all the disrespect, all the doubt, and you're able to take all that energy at any given time and then flip it over into something that actually makes you better, how can you compete with someone like that? You can't. Those are the people that win, and that is why they win, and that's why you're going to win. There is not a single fucking thing in this world that can stop you from doing what it is you're trying to do.
