Success is a very lonely road. There are very few people who are willing to go through the pain, the hardship, the sacrifices, the agony of the process in order to succeed. It's these moments when you feel the urge to quit. You feel the urge to say to yourself, it can't be done. I don't think I can make it. I don't think I have what it takes.

This is the point where everything's going to go. go south on you. And you're going to think this is it for you. This is how I end. This is the end of my journey. Now you have a choice. You can accept that or you can decide I will not be denied. This will not be it for my life. At some point or another, you've got to make a stand. If you're going to change, if you're going to improve your life, if you're going to improve your situation, you've got to make a declaration that I will not be stopped. I'm going to do whatever it takes and one way or another I will win. Instead of backing down, instead of giving into the struggle, you push yourself forward into the unknown. You have got to proactively prepare to catch yourself. When you find

yourself getting negative with people that you have allowed to push your buttons, when you find yourself becoming negative about what's happening to you and the circumstances that you're involved in. You reinforce your mind with positivity telling yourself everything is okay. I'm going to get through this. This is not the end. This is only the beginning for me. It's crucial to always be on the lookout for those moments when external factors threaten to sway our inner balance. You've got to be your own biggest supporter. Stop letting outsiders get in your head. You've got to pump yourself. up. Remind yourself of all the shit you've been through before. And these things you're facing now,

they're nothing. This isn't your first dogfight and it won't be your last. Everybody hits that wall at one moment or another. That wall shocks most people. That wall knocks the life out of most people. That wall is painful. But the thing that separates the average people and the people who win is how they respond to that wall. Most people choose to give in. They can't handle the sting of being hit so they But there are some rare individuals who decide I will not give up. I will not give in. And I will succeed. I will not allow the pain to beat me.

These are the people who know there is no gain without pain. There is no testimony without a trial. It is meant to be hard. That rough process is necessary in order to produce the great things in your life. You have not seen the best days of your life yet. The greatest is still yet to come. And you must keep pushing yourself to move forward, Move forward, even when it hurts, even when your legs want to give out and you're crying

yourself to sleep at night, and everything is fighting against you, you must keep fighting. When it feels like the entire world is against you, I need you to reinforce your self-belief and muster yourself up, telling yourself in the mirror, you can do this, you can handle this. This challenge isn't bigger than you. You can get through this. And when you get through this, you're going to be bigger, you're going to be better, you're going to be bolder because you fought your way through it. It's only here to make you stronger, but you

have to start living your life in expectation. You have got to start expecting great things to happen for you in order for it to happen. If you expect bad things to happen, that's what's going to happen. But if you expect the best, that's exactly the direction you'll head. Your belief is what dictates the direction you steer your life. So you have to be a lot. So you have to be consciously aware of the thoughts going on in your mind, focusing only on allowing positive, productive ideas to be dwelled on in your head. This is how winners are made. They don't allow the idea of losing to sink into their brain.

They reject any thought of failure, of loss, of decline. They focus only on making improvement. They focus only on the strategies and opportunities to make their lives and other people's lives better. No guts, no glory. You've got to be willing to face rejection and know again and again and again. Willing to face defeat again and again and again. And every time life knocks you down, you jump up and say no matter what it takes, I will win. It takes guts.

You got to dig down deep and gut it out. Keep on going again and again and again until you make it happen. Because you know that it's possible. Your self-belief must outweigh others disbelief. Your belief must be so strong that you block out the norm. of everyone around you and all you hear is your internal dialogue telling you I can do this I will do this I must do this and no matter what it takes with every fiber of my being I am going to win if you are self-motivated and self-regulated you can have it you can be it you can do it you've got to believe in yourself you've got to believe in your abilities you've got to believe in your service your company Your ideas, unquestionably, take that leap of faith. Trust yourself and believe and know within yourself that everything is going to be all right.

If you've got that drive, that inner fire, then there's nothing stopping you. You can have whatever you set your mind to, be what you dream to be, do what you've always wanted. It all starts with you, your motivation, your discipline, harness that and the world is yours. Keep dreaming. Keep looking at your dream. Keep focusing on your dream. Keep going after the dream because that's where true success is. The people that are running after their dream, they know they're going to have hard times, but they keep on running because they're saying within themselves, I am the one, and I will win.

When you're working on a business or in life, things will always go wrong. That's the human condition. Look, we've all been quitters, everyone. on. Nobody's journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. The question is not if some of these things will happen to you. They will. The question is, what do we do next? You've got to have resiliency. If I don't quit, I can't fail. If I just simply don't quit, I cannot fail. Hold fast. I know you want to give up. I know you want to quit and I know you're tired, but hold fast. Some days, of course, I'll get tired. Some days, of

days I will get beat up some days I will get knocked down and I will have some bad days but I will not this is an everyday gig every day is a Monday and you might not like that me I love it to me every day is a beginning a new day a new week a new shot at Life, an opportunity to come out of the gate like a man possessed and attack the day without mercy. Today, I'm putting the pressure on. I am the aggressor. I am on the attack. You don't get this far.

You don't get to this point and just stop. Most people spend their life not wanting to deal with the pain of rejection, the pain of defeat, the pain of being disappointed, the pain of losing, pain of failure, the pain of being criticized, the pain of not being liked, the pain, the pain, the pain, that's called light. Now, will it be turbulent? Yes. Would it be easy? No.

Will you have some opposition? Yes. Will I make a lot of mistakes? Yes. Will I get hurt? Yeah. But guess what? There's no gain without pain.

Don't judge the possibilities for what you can do based upon the circumstances, because the circumstances won't determine who you are. The possibilities for you. are unlimited. If you're in a rebuilding process, it's unlimited if you're coming back from adversity and devastation, it's unlimited of what you can do. Doesn't matter how many mistakes you've made, doesn't matter how many thoughts you've had. Now see, it only has an investment of what you learn from life of what's possible for you. Struggle, pain, misery, frustration, those are signs that you are on the right path. Nobody that is where you want to be has gotten

there without these struggles, without the pain. And if you want to be something great, you are going to have to learn to accept the struggle as part of the rest of it. Every single day, you need to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, what am I willing to do to get what I want? And if the answer is, whatever the fuck I have to, you'll get there in time. It's necessary you take responsibility for it, that you don't make it happen, that you don't give up, that you don't take any objection or disappointment, or defeats

personally, that you keep on, keeping on, that you don't decide that I can't make it because you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, that you realize that's a part of the program. See, as long as you breathe it, you've got a shot at your dream. And here's something you've got to resolve. Not over until I get through. Not over until I get over. Not over until I get what I want. You don't care to open a day, look out.

I'm going to come back and take the hinges all. That's how you got to do that. You've got to have that kind of courage, that type of determination. If you want to make it happen, it's you. That you've got to take personal responsibility to make it happen. We can point out many things that can make it even need or can slow us up. But ultimately, it's you.
