None of us ever get through this life without heartache, without turmoil. As you're going towards your dream, as you're going towards your goal, there are going to be so many people that come up against you, so many obstacles, so many trials, so many tribulations. Life is going to hit you with a certain level of opposition, and it's going to test your will and it's going to test your heart. Life is going to say to you, you said you wanted it, now let's see how bad you really want it.

The reason why you stop and start, and you stop and you start, and you start and you stop and you start is because the goal is not meaningful enough there's something about the goal that if you quit is not going to hurt nobody if you quit is not going to change nothing if you quit is not that deep you got to know why you're out here because you're going to get your butt kick but you got to know why you're there because your reasons when life drops you to your knees your reasons will help you get back up why you here less because I want to make mama proud of me why you're here less you still want this We're kicking your butt.

I know, but I promise I'm going to get this house for her. I promise my kids I'm going to do for them. I'm going to give them a better life. I want to leave them a legacy. I'm not going to give up. Go back. Go back. Go back.

No, no. No, I'm not going back. You got to do like that. You'll cry. You don't feel lonely. And I encourage you to pray. Pray. You got to pray.

You got to pray. There's some things in light that all you got to do is outlast. You just got to learn the secret of how can I survive these next couple rounds. No matter what you might be going through, don't quit. No matter what you're going through, don't quit. The secret is in not giving up. No matter how impossible, your situation may say, stay on course. I guarantee you cannot pass it if you quit.

I guarantee you're going to fail, but you don't know what's going if you keep going. You will win if you don't quit. You got to have stamina. You've got to have stain power. You've got to make no your vitamin. Logical, practical thinking says you can. Can't do it today. But if you want to produce unreasonable results in your life, you've got to be an unreasonable

person. You've got to be an uncommon person. And then once we hit that wall, we don't quit, we don't give up. We push a switch called wheel, and we start using our willpower. Yes, we tire. Yes, we're hungry. Yes, the mind is saying give up. Yes, it's saying quit.

But we cannot quit because we realize we have not reached a goal yet. This is not what I dreamed about. This is not what I said I was going to do. This is what I talked about. This is not what it looks like. I got to squeeze. If you're going to be successful in this game, you got to have a dog within you. You got to know it's a dog fight, and you got to go get that fight.

Life ain't going to be easy. Ain't nobody going to hand you nothing. You're not ready to give 120 in every single area. If you're ready to quit, you're ready to give up. You ready to give in. You ready to tell me what's not working, who's doing this, what's wrong? If you're not ready to get up every day and start all over again like nothing happened yesterday. Why me, God? Why not hurt? We both adults because I can count on you. This is what you do. You are built for this

You just think you don't go through nothing. You go straight to the top patiently endure your problem is you don't know how to patiently endure. You want the reward that comes with being patient, but you ain't patient Delay don't mean denied Delay just mean you're gonna have to wait a minute When the unsuccessful are in delay they get nervous They get worried, they give up, they quit, they stop, they surrender, because they don't see what they think they should see. But when the successful are in delay, we work while we wait. We grind in between time.

We don't give up. We don't surrender. We don't quit. We see differently. Our perspective is different. And because our perspective is different, our outcomes are different. Our rewards are different. You must have patience and engage in consistent action.

You've got to keep moving. Don't stop. Don't stop running towards your dream. I outlasted the pain. I kept telling myself, one day you'll be a homeowner. I told myself that this might be your current circumstances, but this will not be how the story ends. All you have to do is to survive today. Survive today.

There's some things in life. You don't need no degree for her. You don't need no money for her. You don't need no support for it. There's something like you're just going to get this. through when you tell yourself, I'm going to get through this. You just got to outlast some stuff. And I just made up in my mind, look, I might not have been stronger.

I might not have been smarter. I might not have been brighter. But I made up in my mind, I'm going to get through this. Housing failure. I'll get it's my first, second, third attempt. Struggle is a part of it. After pain is the reward. So get through it because the pain separates the weak from the strong.

When life knocks your butt down, I need you to get back up. And I need you to go heavy on it. When you feel pain, I need you to get back up and I need you to go heavy on it. When you feel uncertainty, I need you to get back up and I need you to go heavy on it. If you ain't cut right, when it hits you, everything that you work for and everything you've accomplished, you can lose it in one moment. And for some of you, you stop dreaming. You dream for a week and you stop because things around you don't look good.

You dream for a month. And when you get hit in the mouth, you quit and you give up. You dream for a while. And when people tell you crazy, and when people tell you stupid, And when people tell you you can never get done, you stop dreaming and you go back to knowledge. And I dare you to use your imagination. I dare you when you broke to use your imagination. I dare you when you're rich to use your imagination.

I dare you under every single circumstance. Keep dreaming. Keep looking at your dream. Keep focusing on your dream. Keep going after the dream because that's where true success sits.
