When you want to do something great with your life, something that is beyond those visions other people around you see for themselves, they're going to try to tear you down. They'll tell you you can't do it. You don't have what it takes. You're just a dreamer. People that don't have any dreams for themselves. They tend to be dream killers. They're family and friends and loved ones. In most cases, they will be the first to try and talk you out of your dreams, your visions and ideas.

They will say, who wants you when you put on all that weight? Who wants you when you're looking like this and been through this and been through that? Nobody's interested in you. Nobody's checking for you. They'll laugh at you. They'll call you names because they have no dreams. They have no hunger for success. They don't have an appetite.

They don't want it. But I want to remind you to continue to dream and dream big. When they fight against you and your dreams of the future, that hurts. They won't see it like you do, but they don't have to. Only one who has to see it for yourself. I'm going to win so bad. My hunger and appetite for success is intimidating. It scares the shit out of people.

And people around me say, slow down. Stop. You're doing too much. Your appetite is too big. I can't help myself. I want to win. Don't let these opinions of other people pull you all. course. How do you do that? You ignore and outwork each and every one of them. You see, while they watch you and talk shit about you, you put in more effort, you work diligently, you focus on taking things to the next level. They'll keep spreading rumors and you will keep working. They'll keep talking negatively and you will keep working. They'll keep focusing on everything and everyone else and you'll keep working. And when they finally take a look around at their lives,

and compare it to yours, they'll come to the realization that they have absolutely no valid reasons to criticize anymore. And they will be the ones to lose while you will be the one to succeed. I will not be outworked. You may be smarter, you may be faster, you may be better than me in nine different categories. But you will never work harder than me. I will make my dreams come true. I don't care what it takes I'll pay whatever price is required Only those that can see The invisible can do what

Seems to be impossible You have to be relentless You have to never let off the gas Never stop, never quit Never allow anyone to talk you out Of the dream, division and ideas That God has sent you You gotta grind and hustle

You're gonna even have the doubt A spirit of doubt It's gonna kick in and you're gonna say Why did I move out here Everybody laughed at me Everybody was looking at me like, man, you crazy as a month. You just don't leave your city, the comfortability of your house, your family, your environment, all your friends, your loved one to go seek a dream and seek something that you're passionate about?

Absolutely. Don't expect people to understand you. Don't expect it to make sense to anybody why you've got to do this. Why you have got to go. Why you leave this is a good job. I'm going. They pay you well. I'm going.

Why? I don't understand. You don't have to. I'm going for me because I've made a different kind of commitment with my life. This is something I have got to do. Because it's very easy to become your environment. It's very easy to become duplicates of the mediocre and average people surrounding you. So wake up every day and decide that you love yourself enough to commit yourself to you.

If you concern yourself with what everyone else is doing and how everyone else feels about the things you're pursuing, you'll never get anything done. So you've got to focus on yourself. You've got to focus on your dream, on your vision, on what it is you want in your life. You're supposed to live your life, focus on your intentions and do your thing. All the people that are living on the top

have all decided that I'm going to commit myself to this career, this vision, this goal, training, education, no parties, they're going to call you names, they're going to say you're corny, they're going to call you a square, They're going to say that you're a weirdo because you don't fuck with nobody. Those are the characteristics of a champion. Those are the characteristics of someone that have said that I have decided that I'm going to create a shift in this universe.

If you look at documentaries on Steve Jobs and Oprah and all of the above, they are weird because they've seen things and no one else seen for their career path. They are living beyond what is expected because they were obedient to the vision. When you get to the point where you do the work consistently, you invest in yourself consistently. You make sacrifices consistently when everybody else is slacking off, when everybody's partying, when everybody's making excuses, you will dominate every single person you're up against. And your limits become non-existent. If you can believe it, can receive it, if you can conceive it, you can attain it. The most powerful tool that you have right now in your life, in your body is your mind. That's why the enemy fights you in your mind.

He fights you in your mind. For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. The devil doesn't have to tie you up for you to be bound. He just has to tie up your head with stress, with worry, with aggravation, with low self-esteem, with pettiness, with anger, with hostility, with rebellion. And he can make you physically sick because your mind is sick. You just have to get your mind out of trouble. Lay your hands on your head and say, give me a new mind. Give me a new mind means give me a new perspective.

Give me a new perspective. Give me a new way of looking at my situation. Give me a new way and looking at my circumstances. Get my mind ready for this year because when I get this year, there's going to be blessings, there's going to be miracles, there's going to be opportunities. Oh yes, it's going to be some struggles. It's going to be some challenges. It's going to be some tests.

But even the struggles are an opportunity for me to show off the victory if my mind can handle the chain. If you can get your mind out, you can get your money out. You can get your family out. You can get your job out. You can get your career out. You can get your health out. You can get your prosperity out. If you can get your mind out, no devil in hell.

No weapon formed against you. No enemy that hates you can stop you from being free. Grab yourself by the hand and say we're coming out of this. How do you hang in there during the hard, difficult times, less? You must have faith. 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.

You've got to have faith, and that faith gives you patience. You've got to keep moving and keep plugging away. You've got to love it. It's got to be what you are supposed to do. You want to sing it even though they want to invite you to Carnegie Hall, you're going to sing to anybody that listen to you and Couton, sing it to yourself. You've got to write, even if no one published your book, write because that was given to you to do. You do what it is you're supposed to.

You're supposed to build something. You're supposed to create something? I don't know how to do it. Learn do whatever is required. Go into action, which is you're supposed to do. dream and don't avoid where the fights are get in the midst of the fight get knocked down so you can learn how to fight so you can hold your position stand up for your dreams stand up for what you want in your life decide that your life is so

meaningful to you that you love you and you love life so much that you're going to stand up for something you want stand up for what you believe in because you can fall for anything so what I say to you, that you are powerful. You have miracle working power in your life right now. But you've got to work on yourself. You've got to develop yourself. You've got to talk to yourself day in and day out, selling yourself on you and on your potentials. And you've got to know that you are worth all of your effort. And that the key to your motivation, as you get a larger vision of yourself, is to know that you have something to give, is to know that you have a reason

for being in the universe at this point in time. Take that leap of faith. Trust yourself and believe that everything is going to be all right. There are a lot of people who are biting their fingers in fear that they might lose their jobs. But there are few people who have decided within themselves, I'm going to make it. Some people aren't waiting to be cut. Some people are moving on their own because they feel within themselves, I've got what it takes to make it.

They're not afraid about tomorrow because of how they see themselves, because of what they feel that they deserve, because of what they feel that they can create for themselves, because these people have decided, as they look at the future, as they look at themselves, there's a way where there's a will, there's a way for me to begin to create a way out of no way.

And when you have that kind of consciousness, When you have that kind of spirit, nothing can stop you. Nothing. What does the $500,000 your person do? The $50,000 your person doesn't do. He pays the price in a little bit more. He works hard and a little bit more. He bleeds in a little bit more.

He makes money in a little bit more. He saves money in a little bit more if you want to win in business. You've got to be tough and you can't quit. Somebody's going to win, you or him. And the person that wins is going to want it the most. This business is nothing but an attitude business. It's your attitude about you. It's your attitude about lives.

You go out there this week and you just think you're supposed to be somebody, you're going to do something big, and you go out there, and you work hard, and you prepare well, and you get up mentally, and you go out there and you leave it all on the field, and you just have a feeling that dad's gumming, this is our time. We're going to do it. You've got a chance. to win. Life gives you what you'll fight for. Life don't give you what you want. Life don't give you what you'd love to have. Everybody would love to be successful, right? Everybody wants success. They want financial independence.

Life gives you what you will excel. If you want to win, you've got to show up and demand for yourself, success and fulfillment and happiness. I believe desire and determination is everything. It ain't talent, it ain't brains, it ain't education, it's desire and determination. You've got to have a will to win. You've got to have a hunger to be somebody. This is your life. This is your leggy. This is who you are.

You're writing your history right now. We got to get to work, man. We got to get to work because we live in a day and the time, but we have every fucking opportunity to be our best self.
