I MUST STOP WASTING TIME AND GET AFTER IT - Motivational Speech (Featuring James E. Dixon)

the grave is a reminder that all of us have a limited time on Earth long after we are gone our families will remember us by the day we were born what year you would have been in this particular year things that you used to do or messages you used to pass on Memories the experiences that they had with you and that memory will last for a generation but then there will be a generation that didn't know anything about you unless you do something Monumental with the time you still have well I think the deck is stacked against everyone to some degree because life is very difficult and we all die so but people some people do have it harder than others and and all of us have it very hard at sometimes in our lives it's like well what's the what's the alternative you take responsibility for that and try to struggle up hill because the alternative makes everything worse bitter should they be bitter should they be resentful should they become violent these things don't help they have to struggle uphill despite their excess burden and it's responsibility not guilt you know it's not necessarily their fault that's not the point you stop dreaming you stop believing you stop seeking when you going to realize that you hurt that's what I want to know at some point you let the world put shackles around your imagination you let the world put shackles around your life to keep you in a place that you are no longer supposed to be at you allowed the world to imprison you in your past and you think that's all that you are you let people judge you like they perfect I hope that you understand that every single person that you look at every single person that you admire every single person that you aspire to be like is literally just a regular humaning being like you that has worked their Ming ass off your days are not just marked by the day you were born that Dash matters in that Dash your life is so fleeting so fast so small so short that you cannot simply lay aside your expectations your goals your dreams your aspirations you need to pick them up you need to chase after everything with everything you have and discover what's been locked within you that needs to be released so that the rest of the world can find relief all of us have seen our destiny at some point in time and we decided not to listen we decided to ignore it and said no that's that's not for me life came in and slapped beside the head and we stopped dreaming anymore fig Thomas said the impulse to dream has been slowly beaten out of me through the experience of life and that's what causes many of us to give up on our volcano the experiences and the challenges the defeats the disappointments and the failures of life and we decide to prematurely throw away and the towel on ourselves or to sell out on our true potential sell out on living our dreams feeling that we're not good enough not wanting to make any mistakes particularly if you're raised with a great deal of criticism so you've got to be willing to prepare yourself and do the best you can take your best shot and let the chips fall where they may let their demands and their trials make you stronger the adversity you face today turn you into a better person tomorrow so so in the future you look back at these struggles and you say to them thank you you made me better so if you lose and you jump right back up and you haven't really changed I mean really really changed from that loss you're never going to learn from it and you're never going to really truly know the unforgiving race to greatness because that's the that's part of the unforgiving part is the losing part that part is unforgiving there are too many talents given to you a sign to just you and if you could unleash them if you could only unlock them if you could do something with them in that small dash of a lifespan that we have you can change Earth you can touch lives in ways that no one ever imagine because there is something about your skill set that when it connects to others we do something amazing there is an obligation that you have to make sure that before you get to that grave you leave a presence on this earth like what's the point of having dreams y'all what's the point of having dreams if they going to just stay that if they going to stay dreams forever it got to get to a point where you actually live in those dreams you're going to get to the point where those dreams turn reality for you those dreams become your reality it's time for you to live it it's time for you to breathe it it's time for you to be it it's time now to get more dedicated to get less distracted to go deeper if you want to be great you want to be bad ever at what you do you going to be misunderstood by everybody because you're going to be so obsessed and so driven to get there that's what it takes takes every second of your life anybody says balance yeah balance is important for a lot ofing people it is but if you want to go to that edge where people do not like you don't understand you question everything you fing do You' have arrived when people don't understand you anymore you're in that spot of obsession and drive you can think about it you can wish for it you can hope for it you can can think all about it all as long as you want but unless you get out every single day and put in the work inch by inch by inch you will never get there right it's time to get more dedicated it's time to go deeper it's trying to be less distracting I promise you if you do these three things grow is going to happen if you do these three things you're going to go into the depth of your dreams and get those diamonds out it's all on you let's get it [Music] for
