We're going to all experience some hard knocks in life. You're going to make some mistakes. You're going to fall flat on your face. You're going to be criticized when you come out until the arena called light. You're going to feel awkward and stupid and dumb sometimes. Life will test you like that. How bad do you really want it?

How bad you want it? I'm going to take your car. You're going to have creditors calling you every day. How focus can you be? You're going to lose all of the materialistic things you have. How positive can you be now? You're going to lose your job, and people who you thought will help you won't be there for you. Where is your feeling of being empowered, having the capacity to create now?

That's going to happen to your mind. And I say that what's necessary is that, that you stand courageously, daring that you become bold in spite of this, I'm not giving up on my dream. I want the guy who struggled. I want

the guy that failed and to still get back up again. Your problem is your pain has identified you. Your pain has weak. And some of you, as long as it's a perfect day, you operate in excellence. As soon as the circumstances change, you quit.

You give up. So what makes T different than everybody else every new. I just kept going. I kept going and I kept going and I kept saying one day is going to be my death. You know what I'm not going to do? I'm not going to quit in the process. I'm not going to give up. I'm not going to give in.

Don't let life change your name. Don't let it change your name. Don't you be nasty just because they're nasty. Don't you be hateful just because they're hateful. Don't you be vengeful just because they're victim. Don't lose yourself in your situation.

Don't let your situation, eat up yourself. Learn to be your own booster. When I started trying to convince myself, I can be a businessman after flopping and failing and losing thousands of dollars and feeling stupid and dumb and having people take advantage of me because of what I didn't know. I had to talk to myself because people were saying to me that I was done. And somewhere in the back of my mind, I was saying, you're right, look at what I've done.

I had to say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no less. Hey, hey, come on, man, get yourself together. You can handle this. you just haven't figured it out yet. It's all right. This is your training period. This is the tuition you have to pay for what you don't know.

You can do this. Other people have done it. It doesn't take an Einstein. Get you some people that can teach you some stuff that you don't know. Get you some people that have done it successfully and learn from them. Take some seminars, workshop,

read some books and how to manage your business. Change the way you see yourself and begin to tend to the personal details. Understand that nobody's going to take care of your business better than you. See, this is something that you can't be in this business. This business has. to be in you.

If you trust yourself, if you believe, and don't doubt in everything in you, you can do it, you can do it! When you say a situation, a person is hopeless, you're slamming the door in the face of God. There's no guarantee that because somebody is now down on their luck they can never come back? Who can guarantee that you can't make, that you can't have your dream? All we need to do is we look at our dreams. As we get ready, hit the floor, I'm blessed in highly favor. I'll have favored. Don't let circumstances turn you around. Don't let hard times turn you around.

Whatever you're experiencing, you know that this two shall pass, that you have the ability to make it happen. What? You've got a sense of entitled. I deserve this and whatever I have to do, I'm willing to step up into face life and grab it in a collar and say, give it up because it's mine.
