Success guy is a very, very lonely road, man. It's an uphill battle. You're going to see your shadow most often. It's the lonely road. You're going to feel alone all the time. You're going to wake up earlier and everybody else. You're going to go to bed later. You're going to have massive swings financially, ups and downs.

Why do I tell you that? That way when these things are happening, you'll know, oh, these are signs I'm on the right road. Most everybody else will do this. The crowded road. It's well lit. There's navigational equipment. There's directions. Really good roads.

The lonely road? it's dark, it's not well lit. There's a huge ups and downs. Massive turns. Road kill along the side of other people who quit on their dreams. The lonely one? There's yield signs about once a year. Just yield.

Go back to the crowded one, man. Yield, yield, give in. Do the thing everybody else does. Listen to the haters. All the stuff they tell you, what's so bad about where you are? It's okay. What's wrong with you? Why do you want to be rich?

Money doesn't mean anything. You're changing. Any of that sound familiar? That's all the lonely road stuff. That means you're all. the right road don't yield your thoughts are the currency in which you purchase your dreams you have to think and believe inside yourself that you have the ability to respond when adversity strikes success does not require you to look out the

window it only requires that you look in the mirror you have to start taking responsibility for your life that doesn't mean everything in your life is your fault some things that have happened to you are out of your control but responsibility means I have an ability to respond I got me here, I can get me out of this, and I'm getting out. Because it doesn't matter what happens to you. All that matters is what are you going to do about it. I don't care what happens in your life.

If you're going to have energy, if you're going to have passion, if you're going to have drive, every day you wake up, you've got to start with that vision. I want you to feel it. I want you to be able to feel when you're getting closer to it and closer to it. You've got to have a dream party every day. You've got to take out 10 minutes, 20 minutes. Have how much time you have and you've got to actually go in a room, close the door, and you've got to see yourself doing it. You've got to actually walk in it.

You've got to go in the future, live it out, come back in the present and start working toward it. We just don't have sight. Sight is for people who live in the present. We have vision. We're going to make it happen before it happens. But when you're on the path to success, you're going to get hit in the face. At some point, you got to be tested by life. suit up

and your problem is every time you see a giant you're ready to run I'm telling you you gotta get in your spirit when you see that giant let that giant know suit up you're not about to make me depressed suit up and you're not about to make me

lose my mind suit up you're not about to make me live in poverty suit up you're not about to mess up my life suit up let's go suit up pick your head up so what your life is not what you thought it was going to be. You're going to be okay. 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. I can. I will. I will my way through every situation, every trial, every tribley, I will my way through it. I don't care if it's cancer. I will my way through it. I don't care of his MS. I will my way through it. I don't care if I'm struggling in school and I'm trying to get a degree. I will my way through it. It's going to rain sometimes. I will. You're going to feel discouraged sometimes. I will.

No matter what the obstacle, I will. I must. I don't care if you fail the boards. Go again. I don't care if you fail the law exam. Go again, will your way through. Some things you can skill yourself through, some stuff you've got to wheel your way through.

And I went from a GED to a P.D. Not because I'm smart. I will my way through it. And people respect when you have average skill, but you have phenomenal will. They respect when you have a chance. trial and the triple a shit and you get through it. Beast mode is I will not stop

another stop. I will not quit when it gets hard. Be small is I will not complain. I will not worry. I will not fret. I will find a way when there is no way. I will make a door when there is no door. I will create a window when there is no window.

I will create finance when there is no finance. I will find an opportunity when it doesn't exist. I will not be defeated because I know where my desires are. know what I deserve. So I'm telling you from personal experience, deal with it. Deal with it. And the sooner you deal with it, and the sooner you're overcoming, the sooner you get to your rewards.

Get right in the thick of it. Put your back into it. Put your wheel into it. Put your legs into it. Keep pushing and keep pushing and keep pushing and keep pushing it. Don't stop until you reach your goal. Don't let anybody stop you. Go harder.

Go longer. Go faster. Keep going until you reach your goal. The question is not if life. It's not if life is going to get hard. The question is, are you mentally tough?
