Life has a funny way of testing all of us and seeing how bad we really want what it is that we say we want. Life is going to hit you with a certain level of opposition. Life is going to hit you with a certain level of adversity. And life is going to say to you, you said you wanted it. Now let's see how bad you really want it. We all have these moments, these moments in time that either make you or break you that can determine the rest of your life. rest of your life can be determined by one simple decision. You have a choice to either give up or keep going.

There's so many times that we're in these dark-ass tunnels. The tunnels of life, when hard times are coming at you, man, and you feel alone and you feel like there's no way out. And all you want to do is run the fuck out of that tunnel because it's dark and it's scary. but if you can find just enough courage to stay in that tunnel just a little bit longer, your eyes start to adjust to the night. And what happens, that darkness becomes the light.

I can accept failure. Everyone fails at some point. I cannot accept not trying. I don't feel rejected. I try. How do you feel rejected when you try? The person who didn't try should feel rejected. The person that didn't try should feel defeated.

I tried. I don't feel rejected. I feel good about myself. I don't feel bad. I gave it 120%. You can't never feel bad when you put forth for 120%. You can't let the outcomes

make you feel whack. I'm not whack. I'm a warrior. I'm a problem solving. I'm not soft. I'm not weak. I don't quit. I don't give up.

I don't surrender. I don't always win. But I always try. You chase something that you believe you deserve until you get it. And it doesn't matter what happens to you. It doesn't matter how many times you've been fired.

Doesn't matter how many people Don't believe in you. Just go until you get it. Because if you're willing to go through all the battle and you've got to go through to get to where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you? Nobody. It's your right to listen to your gut.

It ain't nobody's right to say no. After your earned right, to be where you want to be, to do what you want to do. Every single person that you look up to, all of them dealt with their family and friends looking at them funny and making jokes. The difference is they continued to move

when people told them to get back in line. They didn't get back in line. They continue to become what they knew they were inside of their soul. Everyone's like, oh, Craig, you're lucky. You got this, Craig, you're lucky. Everything you do is luck. Bullshit. Because before it was luck, it was a belief.

And every day with no one watching at 5 in the morning, by myself, I trained it because I believed in it. Then I mastered it. And I mastered it. And it hopes that one day my trained ability collided with an opportunity to show it off. That's what success is. that every single module inside of it you create, you own. Nothing subjective in there. It's all you.

And when you know what you want, you will do anything it takes to get it. You will study as long as it takes. You won't go to sleep until you have the knowledge that it takes to do what you're able to do. All I'm saying is don't quit. I didn't say don't rest. I didn't say don't recover.

I said don't quit. Mentally, you ain't got to take off. Mentally, you can stay connected. How does you stand to race? less when your life has been destroyed with drugs or alcohol, or you've lost your business, or lost your job, or lost your home, and you've been completely devastated. How can you tell me I can come back? Oh, let me tell you.

Whatever you want to do, whatever goal you have, all we need to do is we look at our dreams. As we get ready, hit the floor. I'm blessed and highly favored. Look at your belief system every single day and stick with it. Don't rush the process, trust the process. Don't rush the process. Trust the process. Don't rush the process. Trust the process.
