HURT IN PRIVATE, HEAL IN SILENCE & SHINE IN PUBLIC. - Motivational Speech Compilation

you're not broken you're a piece of a bigger puzzle the life that we are living is connected to other lives the problem is most of us connect to people who have nothing in common until so they drag us down and dead weight will only slow you down you have to separate from people and things and places that will keep you from developing and being connected to the things that Empower you here's a good note to make on the battle of the mind don't become a victim of yourself also Beware of the thief in your mind that's after your promise that little thief that says you're too short you're too tall you're too old you've never done it before what makes you think you can do it now most driven individuals they live a life for many years and certain times without balance you can't be the best at something and try to balance everything else around your life there is going to be times where things are going to be out of balance it just is I just want you to remember that average is the enemy success is your responsibility and change can take place in an instant if you are willing to flip the switch you know when you're on the way up everyone roots for you because you remind them of their dreams and when you're at the top everyone tries to tear you down because you remind them of what they gave up on your ability to suffer will determine your quality of life if you can't handle the life throws at you you won't be able to accept the gifts life gives you on the ground everything's look big everything looks monstrous everything looks impossible to overcome on the ground the building can look massive it can dwarf you problems are like those buildings but when you elevate like when you look outside the window of your airplane everything is a small square a puzzle just like the sections of our Lives we have to put them together and realize that every segment every section is putting together a bigger picture willingness to be disliked is a superpower if you develop the willingness to be disliked you will inevitably have the courage to do the hard things that most people are not willing to do this will then imbue your life with a sense of meaning and importance it will also lead to success that others will be too intimidated to go after you must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions doesn't matter what you just did doesn't matter it doesn't count the count now is zero and that's what happens when you wake up in the morning it doesn't matter what you did yesterday it doesn't matter how far you ran yesterday it doesn't matter you got a promotion yesterday you wake up today the count is zero and that means it's go time being tired is part of theing game and if you want to be a high achiever guess what you're going to have to acclimate yourself to beinging tired way more than you're not [Music] tired here's my advice to you today walk away from the 97% don't talk like they talk don't act like they act don't go where they go don't specialize in what they specialize in throw away the blame list they cling to start you a new life there is something that you feel is good something you want to do something that means something to you try to do it because I think you can only do your best work if you're doing what you want to do and if you're doing it the way you think it should be done and if you can take pride in it after you've done it no matter what it is you can look at it and say I did that I think is pretty damn good biggest regret of the dying is never becoming your ideal self I do believe that we're thrust in a world that we don't fit in and I believe the journey is that a lot of people sell you a bill of goods along the way that if you get some awards you mean something you go to a certain school you got it and you swim through all that filthy swill until you come to the really really Stark conclusion that I want to leave this earth becoming who I know deep within I I am supposed to be you are worth something you have to show us what it's like to overcome what you are going through see the challenge and adversity that's placed within your life isn't made for you it's made for everybody else that you're supposed to an impact you can't have a testimony without a test you need that testimony because that is what will fuel the message that you share with the world losers let it happen winners make it happen losers see thunderstorms winners see rainbows losers see icy streets winners put on their ice skates losers take chances winners make choices it's all in the way you choose to think never will be able to go through life without failure failures make us learn failures make you stronger pain makes you stronger so I think all of that is good best way to fight the demons that chase you in the night is to stop and turn around turn around face them what you've been looking for has also been looking for you sometimes the greatest opportunities are disguised as a failure their disguise is an obstacle for you to overcome a hurdle in life but when you overcome it you'll become something greater than it now you have experience and experience is a teacher because you've learned that your failures weren't to break you but they were to train you be the champion you were born to be I'll do it or die see that's powerful that could be the day that turns your life around room the world has a strange way of stepping aside when somebody says I'll do it or Die the man says I will climb the mountain they've told me it's too high it's too far it's too Rocky it's too difficult it's never been done before but it's my Mountain I will climb it promise yourself you will never give up be you Embrace being you Embrace being different embrace the fact that you enjoy doing what others won't do because it's the thing that separate you and there will never be a person on the earth that can do exactly what you do it's been said that the graveyard is full of talents that never ever got seen there are abilities that the world will suffer from never having seen manifested on the face of the Earth but that's not true of you don't confuse movement with progress because you can run in place and not get anything done so are you moving forward and who you taking with you and how you made things better by the god-given talent that you all have in whatever area it may be you can say I'm committed but until you eliminate other options you're not committed a lot of people make decisions to end relationships to quit their job but they don't become committed to the decision until they remove the other options and then you're forced to take action on it and I think there are two different instances it's like I need to change this and then I do change it and the making the decision is when it becomes a commitment again courage does not mean you're not afraid courage means you're afraid but you do it anyway I don't negotiate with myself that pattern of thinking is what destroys most people's lives and their dreams you got time because you got another breath coming and the fact that you just took one means there's another one coming there's a purpose in your life and the uniqueness that you bring to the table is about to open up doors of opportunity and when someone says what do you bring to the table instead of saying I am the table you tell them I bring the table table and the chair of opportunity and those that sit around me will find there's a difference inside of me and I make a difference inside of them don't allow yourself to ever become common in this common world not when you were born to be excellent not when you were born to be different not when you were born to change the world and the world will say your name because you changed everything I need you to believe the fight that you're in is worth fighting for I know you've been cut I know you've been beat up bruised Blood Sweat and Tears and maybe you're on all fours lying in the dirt right now but you have to believe that it's worth getting up just one more time because if not now then when and if not you then who it has to be you it has to be you not your mom not your dad not your friend your brother sister it has to be you we have to always remember our purpose will always be there but the purpose is myself your mind has to be stronger than your feelings on those bad days when you think that you're alone you just might be cuz you know why no one else wants to do it so you be the that always always gets it done my message is to keep going don't quit there's something deep inside of each of us or something deep inside of you and often when we're walking a path an unknown path towards a goal or a desire of our heart there's really no idea or landmark of where we're going other than it's different and it's scary and it's Unique and there's so many unknowns and my message is keep walking like don't quit if you you can't walk anymore just crawl drag yourself do whatever you have to do don't quit learn how to handle the winters it's a fact of life Winters follow the fall the Harvest winter comes after fall Night comes after day difficulty follows opportunity recession always comes after EXP expansion so the winters are going to come the winter of sickness the winter of disappointment the winter of Devastation social Winters economic Winters personal Winters when your heart is smashed in a thousand pieces and the nights are unusually long it's simply called winter time no one's been through what you've been through no one's had to endure what you had to endure single mother single father failing grades in class still trying to be a student athlete still trying to just make ends meet accepting more responsibility as an older sibling playing the role of parent it's not easy but it's not supposed to be and these challenges these trials these pitfalls that have brought you to your knees it's not meant to break you it's meant to make [Music] you life is rough there are days in which you will find yourself taking a step back but just because you step back doesn't mean you can't move two steps forward if you have to take a step back you can rest assured that you have the knowledge of stepping forward because you've done it before the step back is not a failure it's a setup and when you get set up you can step up when you've gone through something you become something if you want to face greatness you must become the face of greatness and no one becomes great without facing something decide every day where you're going to put your best efforts where you're going to focus your energy every single day you must design your focus intentionally God has a plan for you but make no mistake so does the adversary and when you are not intentional with your time intentional with your choice choices and your resources when you don't drive your mind and your heart down the right path trust me there will be more than enough distractions to pull you off your course and away from your purpose there's something inside you there is something that is calling from the depths of your spirit recognizing that you're meant for so much more and that looks different for each of us but we we all have it and we all know it and we hear the call and sometimes we're distracted sometimes life throws so many things at us that we can't hear it but in those Quiet Moments and those opportunities it's there the one major question I got was how do I finish when I start I get two weeks into it and then I stopped so this the thing about it I'm going to tell you what people don't want to tell you why you stop is because you're lazy it's because you don't mind getting bad grades in school it doesn't bother you enough to be mediocre to be average to sit around and watch people do great things you don't mind it so there's your answer your answer is you don't care enough about yourself when people can't get up in the morning I'm going to tell you why because they can predict the feeling of everything that's going to happen in their life and their bodies resigned to The Familiar it says oh another mundane day but remember when you were a kid and you were going on a field trip what happened then you were up and dressed and ready to go before your parents were up cuz you knew something unexpected was going to happen that's how we should live our lives waking up with the understanding to expect the unexpected and something unusual should happen in our life as a result of our efforts everything you already have because what you you have is substantial the ability to dream is a blessing the fact that you have an opportunity to get it right is Another Blessing the fact that you have any measure of Health That's Another Blessing but here's what you can do you can get stronger you can get wiser and you can get better the winters won't change but you can and that's how life changes for you when it was hard I used to wish it was easy I didn't know don't wish it was easier wish you were better don't wish for Less Problems wish for more skills don't wish for Less challenge wish for more wisdom we always have choice you always have choice you can look at your life and recognize there's things you want to change you can look at your life and recognize it's not where you want to be and you can choose to be different and that looks different for each of us sometimes it means just getting out of bed sometimes it means just getting up when you fall down sometimes it's these big bold decisions and other times it's the small simple things those shifts that allow us to be great you can also stay where you are you can be comfortable you cannot make that choice to be bold and to step into the unknown and you'll be the same way you are now the journey is the gift being uncomfortable is the gift and it doesn't get easier we get stronger you get stronger my message is don't quit whatever you do don't you quit and let this come home your life is the exact reflection of the choices you have made love your life great you've made awesome choices hate your life I'm sorry you've made bad choices but the good news is you're in control it's time to take action it's time to take action it's time to get your reps in it's time to take the center Spotlight grab the mic and come off of mute the time is now no more waiting there is something inside of you that has to go through I lost so that you can learn from it you can't even appreciate victory until you've gone through something I want you to win I'm cheering for you to win but in order to win we must get in the fight and have setbacks so we can learn from them because bigger moments are coming there are times you can feel like you're losing the battle but if you win the war did you really lose the [Music] battle you have to start developing that personal self-esteem and it it has to be something that it's an internal thing and it has to come from a lot of hard work and dedication you have to start callousing over that victim's mentality you have to start building this mental armor that no matter what anybody said that you can be in a room full of a million people and all million can be like against you and calling you names and whatever you like this you know what Roger that you go yourself man I know exactly where I'm [Music] going you know how you get mentally tough It's a lifestyle it's said hitting that snooze button in the morning and not making your bed and not cleaning your house you don't hit this news button you get up you don't want to go run you go run you don't want to go swim you go swim you don't want to make your bed you make your bed you don't want to clean your house you clean your house you don't want to study you can study that's how you start to callous your mind it's going to suck it's not going to be fun do something that sucks every single day of your life that's how you grow this is your season of comeback it's happening for for your life this is a season where everything changes for you everything changes for you but you got to claim it you got to own it when people look at mountains they are Majestic they are beautiful they are dense in Hills valleys and depths and dark spots and snow covering caps even when it's hot there's something magnificent s about them most will simply stare at them but there's a few who see it as something to be conquered as large as that mountain is it can be conquered there have been many that have tried and failed people will tell you and that you're foolish if you try but you can't begin to go over the mountain until you first take a step towards the mountain so you failed good I hope you did because if you are not failing you are not really learning everything you possibly can if you are not pushing yourself so far that failure is an option then you are not pushing yourself far enough you need to fail to learn who you really are through challenges adversity and disappointment you can rise up to become the person you were really meant to be it's through these times in our life that we find out our real strengths and identify those areas that we need to improve the only thing that you can do is win so big that all of them constantly compare themselves to you and then you'll forget they exist success is the only Revenge it's not the best revenge it's the only one there's no other Revenge we're try so hard in our lives to fit in we try to fit into certain groups you know among certain friends yet the people we idolize are most are the ones that stand out but when you're prepared there is no fear there is no fear of failure okay because even if you've walked out of something and you feel like you failed at it your preparation is so strong that you're going to take that failure and turn it into the outcome you desire and every step that you take as small as it might be as difficult as it might get as short as your breaths might become you are one step closer to getting to the top of that mountain and the same Mountain that once looked so Majestic that look so big when you reach the top of it you'll look down and see that everything around you now looks small because you're at the top of the mountain you've gone to Heights that other people [Music] won't they say that you end this world looking like your mother and father and that you leave this world looking like your decisions what kind of decisions have you [Music] made what kind of decisions do you continue to make are they decisions that you can stand in front of the mirror in front of a crowd and own and be proud of or are they decisions of regret you are capable of achieving so much greatness but don't let fear hold you back Embrace courage and step out of your comfort zone you have what it takes because it takes courage to chase your dreams but you have to believe in yourself face your fears head on and never give up [Music] I think people are very slow to think and quick to blame and one of my favorite quotes of all time is stop worrying about what you didn't get after praying and think of all the countless blessings you have in your life without even asking there's too many times you walk by blessings and not even realize it gratitude it lays the foundation for everything good in our lives it affects our attitude our relationships our prosperity our success our mental physical and emotional health it has a huge impact that we often Overlook it's not happiness that brings gratitude it's gratitude that has this effect in our lives that brings happiness when you have a goal you have some sort of success you want to do start it be committed not simply interested when you are committed you will be amazed at how Providence or God or the universe whatever the higher power you believe in moves in your favor and all kinds of things come to assist you in what you want to get done be committed not [Music] interested if somebody were to look at the face of the 85 90-year-old version of you what kind of life would they see would they see Adventure would they see opport Unity but they see Power and determination perseverance pride in having stuck it out despite the challenge despite the pain would they see strength in your face or would they see a face of regret of sadness of Yearning wishing that there was just one more opportunity one more chance to make it all right but that's not going to be you that will not be you you will be the one that takes the opportunity you are going to be the one that finishes the race you're not just going to be great at starting you're going to be great at finishing you're going to be one who can stand in front of a crowd and stir the emotions of thousands millions of people because that's who you are that's the example that you set you may have come in looking like your mother and father and who knows maybe they weren't even there for you but you have the chance to change all of that you have the chance to burn leave a new Legacy shine so brightly that people for miles and miles can see you in the [Music] dark we live in a world that we want to be as comfortable as we can and we wonder why we have no growth we we wonder why when the smallest thing in our life gets difficult we wonder why we cower and we run away our I mean our whole life is set that way our our whole life is a set set up in in the path of least resistance we don't want to suffer we don't want to feel discomfort so the whole time we're living our lives in a very comfortable area there's no growth in that if you succeed in every goal you have ever set then you are not setting the bar high enough you are not reaching far enough you are not pushing yourself to the limits where failure is not just an option but a probability I want to fail in life but I want to fail forward I want to learn from my failures I want to be able to push forward through failure and move on to become the person I am supposed to be this the season where all those loss in the past that didn't make sense all the setbacks all the NOS this the season where you get that yes where it makes sense but then there's you you saw the mountain and said I don't need the strength God for you to move my Mountain I need the strength to climb this mountain and when I climbed it I will have conquered it and every level that I've gone to will be separating me from the noise below because the same people that were standing staring at the Majestic aspect of a mountain will now look at you as Majestic what's in the mountain will now be in the man or the woman that's willing to CL maybe last season you're feeling down you're feeling down life this is the season where everything turns around I want you to treat it as such and I want you to believe in that because belief is our strongest is the strongest thing we can have in our soul without belief nothing happens without belief nothing happens if we don't believe it nothing will happen in our life nothing will change in life so you got to believe it now I'm not talking about the mountain I'm talking about the challenge challenges that you must face in life your mountains might be something different it's about overcoming poverty overcoming the setbacks of relationships and everything that comes along with it but the same way that one step got you closer to the climate it's the same path you have to take to overcoming it none of us can change our yesterdays but all of us can change our tomorrows therein lies a problem for a lot of people we are dwelling in the past maybe we did something we shouldn't have or maybe we didn't quite measure up to what we thought we should have at this point in your life you have paid for what you are going forward you get to choose what you are when we have not completed our past it's very difficult to write our future we must learn to complete the P by forgiving people forgiving circumstances and most of all forgiving ourselves that's who you know you are don't let the old story of well times pass me by my best years are behind me that's a lie that's false the best life for you to live is ahead of you that's why the windshield is so much bigger than the rearview mirror you're supposed to look forward look ahead at what's on the horizon for you because it's coming anyway and when it comes you need to be ready the way you get ready is by making those decisions that when you're laying on your deathbed people know they're standing in front of a champion be that champion never neglect the little things never skimp on that extra effort that additional few minutes that soft word of Praise or thanks that delivery of the very best that you can do it does not matter what others think it is of prime importance however what you think about you you can never do your best what should always be your trademark if you are cutting Corners shrinking responsibilities you're special stop doing it and act like it never neglect the little things appreciate the opportunity every single day to be great so you got to think man like sometimes you go through things and you don't know the reason at first but it's not for right now it's to help someone later sometimes you're living through the toughest thing ever and you don't know why it's happening to you but sometimes guys it's bigger than what you can even see right now when All Is Lost you start thinking there's no one and I'm not qualified and some of you were watching people and thought these people have abilities that I don't no you have access to them in the same way I have access to the examples that were laid out before me I have symbols of hope I have reminders that I come from great stock I have reminders that my bloodline is powerful and that even with my imperfections and my limitations I have the potential for greatness because if it could happen in them it could happen in [Music] me at some point in each of Our Lives you're going to have to realize that fear is probably driving many things in in your life or it has but at some point in your life you're going to have to let it go you're going to have to shift There's an opportunity in each of us to be able to overcome to push to see something bigger than ourselves within ourselves and often we feel maybe we can't do it ourselves we don't know where to go or how to do it I've never done that before and I'm here to tell you that if you allow the shift if you're willing to look yourself in the mirror and ask the question if not me then who if not when then where so the question you have to ask yourself is am I going to make a decision to live my life on purpose so that it has meaning so the greatness that I know is inside of me that greatness is Born Into the world all you have to do is make a decision but then you have to have the guts to take the action after you make that decision of turning your dream into your reality and face the adversities that come along with that you have to make the decision and in order to be able to get through the hard times and there will be hard times you have to have a why that's greater than your fear Mark Twain said the two most important days in your life are the day that you're born and the day you find out why see there will come a time in your life when the stress the overwhelm the burdens of the world will come Crashing Down on you unlike anything you've ever experienced before in the dark you won't be able to look around and find the light but then you'll also discover that you weren't supposed to find the light in the darkness you were supposed to become the light that's why you go through what you go through what you're experiencing is not just for you it's for all of those other people who are going through the exact same thing I always sat there and I was like how do I serve and so I dedicated myself when I said I I had to come off of mute I had to quit hiding behind my inabilities or my weaknesses or my disability like you have whatever your limitations are whatever makes you think that you can't be that gladiator still you still have a role there's still things you can do you are still a gladiator you still have the discipline I know you still have all these things that can happen in your mind but I promise is you what's in you is enough to power all of those that are around you sometimes you're living through the toughest thing ever and you don't know why it's happening to you but sometimes guys it's bigger than what you can even see right now sometimes your son going to be looking you in the eye and say Dad how do I get through this and then what are you going to tell him when you quit before what are you going to tell him when you took shortcuts that's the point man there's so much stuff that's bigger than you right now that you're going through for a bigger purpose than you can even imagine friends love for ourselves changes everything opens up a capacity for Hope opens up for a capacity for light and the light will always beat the darkness the light will always win and friends when you realize when you really lean into and you believe and own and live the fact that there's never going to be another one of you how often do we consider that how often do we really give credit to that you find something in your life that powers either love or hate because as humans we're motivated by two primary things the pursuit of pleasure and mitigating pain pain works better so if you have a job that you hate if you have a situation that you're ashamed of if you have trauma in your past use it that's Fuel and it's the best kind of fuel maybe it's because there's a calling on your life that is bigger than what you see that there is something inside of you so massive that you can live life abundantly and live it in such a way that you are an echo that reaches Heaven of all of their hopes and dreams and we can all focus on the tragedy or you can come up with a [Music] strategy that a ship in Harbor is safe but that's not what ships are for and I can say the same thing about every single one of you and me we're safe when we do nothing so this is the challenge that I give you for the rest of your time here do not live an ordinary life I will tell you that your greatest life is in front of you and you're Not [Music] Alone the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal the tragedy of Life lies in having no goal to reach it isn't a Calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled but it is a Calamity not to dream it is not a disgrace not to reach the stars but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for because the things that you have gone through in life should have broken you there is no logical reason why you are so well put together except for the fact that every time you've been isolated abandoned and hurt there is a will inside of you that refuses to give up or give in today is the day that you decide to apply pressure I say there's three types of people there's people that run from the pressure there's people that embrace the pressure pressure and there's people that apply pressure all right we're not running from the pressure no more what's pressure we're not running from our challenges we're not running from the things that we know we're supposed to be getting out of life we're not doing that no more your dream is God's wish for the [Music] universe The Best of You Is Yet To Come some of you think I'm not the man or woman that I once was you may think that the best of you is in the past but I'm here to tell you that the best of you is on the horizon but you have to work toward it you'll never have as much life experience now as you did before you may not move as fast you might not be as quick but that has nothing to do with the Legacy that you're going to leave behind accept responsibility for your life and everything in it your life is determined far more by your choices than it will ever be by your circumstances your life is an inside job when we examine the characteristics of people living in scarcity the way they think the things that they do the way they perform the success that they have are determined by external circumstances what's happening at the moment obstacles in their path they allow these external things to write their Journey on the other hand when we look at people who are successful the circumstances don't matter the environment doesn't matter what others are doing or saying to them or about them doesn't doesn't matter instead of being acted upon they rewrite their own reality but if you want to see if you're a brave person what they call the 4:00 in the morning courage wait when things go completely to Pieces when things are the worst when your very best deal falls apart and your rent is late and you're tired and you're sick and everybody is mad at you and your car doesn't work then it's the person that picks them up and says nothing is going to stop me the best quality in the world that you can develop quality is to develop the quality of being Unstoppable develop the quality of being Unstoppable say in yourself that no matter what life throws at me it'll never stop me no matter how rough it gets I will never quit and nothing will ever stop me make the decision that you can be tired you can be worn out but nothing is ever going to stop you when you're on your way up up everyone roots for you because you remind them of their dreams when you're at the top everyone tears you down because you remind them that they gave up on them for anyone who needs a reminder no one is going to hate on you for doing worse than them the fact that you have been isolated for such a long time so many moments so many situations only proves that if it's you and God against the Earth somebody better help the Earth because nothing is going to break you in fact whatever is coming after [Music] you it better bring back [Music] up I have one question for you what's your philosophy see philosophy is simply a way of thought a type of thinking or the love for wisdom so I'm going ask you again what is your philosophy see your philosophy is what got you into the circumstances and situations that you are currently in philosophy is simply what guides your life I truly believe that you can live in a place where Excellence becomes the average of everything that you do in order for that to be something that you accomplish you have to be first committed to doing everything you do with the best version of yourself every day you show up you have to show up knowing that today I'm going to attempt to bring the best version of myself and on a day-to-day basis that version may be different on a day-to-day basis you may be in a different place of who you are and how you are life affects us all in different ways and every day there's something outside of us that's going to have an impact on us some positive some negative so the best version I bring to today varies based on what's going on in my life you have so much more to offer this world the best of you is still waiting for you to tap into it still waiting for you to dig deep what if all of these things are available to you you must expand your mind widen Your Horizon see where you can go it can be done you can be done you can do this I believe in you you must believe in you though everyone can believe in your talents everyone can believe that you still have gas left in the tank but you have to be the one that believes the best best of me is Yet to Come great expression of Courage is to persist in the face of adversity but to persist when things really get rough to be able to pick yourself up and pick yourself up over and over again and believe me if you decide to go for the goal in your life you're going to get knocked down over and over and over and over again every single week you're going to have heartaches and disappointments and frustrations and setbacks and obstacles but without those obstacles no success is possible I want to tell you you are an eagle and with an eagle philosophy you have to hang around other eagles see it's because other eagles that's going to challenge you other eagles that's going to take you to higher Heights other eagles are going to make you go and live out the potential that's on the inside of you so when you change your culture you change your environment you also support the convictions that you have with the absolute truth that you based all of your philosophy upon no man can live and be true to his own convictions unless it has a truth that's worth dying for get up get up come on keep pushing keep pushing keep pushing I know it hurts but give me one more step give me one more rep please just one let me see what you're made of what you are truly made of let me see that greatness better yet let the world see that greatness feel it come alive feel it take over you let that champion out that Titan that Unstoppable unconquerable version of you take the spotlight that internal engine that tells you you got to give it more you got to go harder you got to give it with something that no one else have you got to go in there with grit you don't have what somebody else have you don't have the background the pedigree you don't have some of those things so you got to hit the switch you got to go in hungry you got to stay starving and you got to remind yourself that there are goals that you have that are not yet accomplished there are things that you want in life and as a result of it that one more rep doesn't need to be requested of you you're going to get that when you place a bet on life and you place a bet on yourself to face something to believe that it's all going to work out that you're going to figure it out magical things happen magical things and I'm telling you there is energy there's an aliveness inside of you a vibrancy that will come when you are willing to push through your fears you will always eventually live the life that you choose to design and that is the great news no matter what experience no matter what circumstance that you've had to go through no matter where you are right now you are entirely up to [Music] you can you imagine a life where your dreams are your compass just close your eyes and feel the thrill of chasing what sets your soul on fire your dreams are the fuel that propels you forward they're like a beacon guiding you through life don't let doubt or fear hold you back today take that first step and then another and then another until your dreams are no longer a distant Vision but a reality going to aim up and maintain your dignity and your integrity or are you going to take a bad situation and make it into every godamn nightmare you can possibly imagine think well of course you have to aim up no matter what happens to you and you think well that's not fair it's like well it's better than the alternative and what does fair have to do with it if you what's your choice you going to dig a deeper pit are you going to have some Integrity in the face of life's catastrophe you know and and I think we know the answer to that because when you meet people who have integrity in the face of catastrophe you're struck with admiration for them you're die and having done absolutely nothing for someone to remember why you were here but if you can find your sense of purpose if you can dig deep if you can pull pull out what's been left uncovered if you can discover what's within that can make it on the outside so that others can see that it's possible you'll become the leader of men and women you'll become an echo chamber of positive influence and impact you'll become a person who will be remembered beyond your lifetime for Generations you've got to become more you have to evolve because when you become more you can serve more but until you find that gear you always being [Music] neutral my personal question to you is why not you you've got the brains you can make decisions you can study the plan you can change your life you can grow immensely in the next few years you can make your dreams come true you can become healthy you can become powerful why not you many are called but few are chosen that saying is that many people have had talents and gifts that are similar to yours and they were called to do a job a task they were called to make a difference but a call is nothing more than an interview you you see chosen is a destiny chosen is when you walk into what you were born for it's when you know that this was my purpose and when it's your purpose you can't run from it you can't hide from it it calls for you in the middle of night when you're laying in bed and you can't find rest is because your purpose is trying to wake you up and tell you I have a plan I have a mission being a Visionary is a blessing and a curse because when you fall asleep you dream of what could be you dream of the outcomes that await On Your Horizon but when you wake up you wake up to what is you wake up to a life that's less than what you feel you deserve that's less than the person that you know you could be someone whose voice hasn't been developed yet and what are you supposed to do about this what are you supposed to do about this curse the answer you take one step in the direction of that Vision that you have every night when you fall asleep this belief in Achievement Centers on the fundamental idea that belief in oneself is the Cornerstone of success this powerful principle is rooted in the understanding that your mindset your determination and your self-confidence can often be more critical than the innate skill or Talent you were born with We rise but we rise step by step it's not one Quantum Leap it's step by step one foot in front of the other day by day get better every single day and then when you look back then you look down and you realize the mountain that you just scaled can't jump from the bottom of Everest and get to the top of Everest like that it doesn't happen if the why is powerful the how is easy but if the why isn't strong if the vision isn't clear the old Prophet said without a vision we die without a vision we perish without a dream we're nothing you don't have to feel good about it you just have to keep going the feeling will pass but you will remain you are greater than your feelings going to bed late and waking up early to work for a few days won't kill you you're not going to burn out you're doing what it takes I've never regretted trying harder at anything ever hard times last long but an epic story feels like a lifetime there's an idea there's a there's something stirring on the inside put you a notepad beside the bed and begin to write that down because the thing that is going around in your head is inspired by God and it is so that you can do something hard difficult challenging that the world has never seen you were meant to be more You Were Meant to take the process You Were Meant to walk the path because along that path you're going to discover the lessons that you need in order to find that voice the lessons that you need in order to become a master Craftsman because right now you may have gifts you may have tools at your disposal but you don't know how to build you don't know how to polish and you don't know how to influence and impact but the path that has been laid before you is meant to reveal that to you don't let Society Rush who you're supposed to be this Vision that you fall asleep to every single night it's not on accident the beautiful thing about life and perhaps urse as well is that you will be giving glimpses of the future you're supposed to have that's the curse of the Visionary but the opportunity is way up and doing something about it it's about fostering an unwavering belief in our own capacity for success by instilling this mindset we can unlock the full potential push our boundaries and accomplish Feats that might have once been thought to be unattainable in essence believing to achieve teaches us that success often begins with our own belief in our capabilities in our willingness to commit drive forward and get to where we want to go that success often begins with our self assured belief that we are capable of greatness you see your obituary and my obituary will only give highlights of when you were born and what you did as a child or it will leave what you did in the lives of others it will leave a story that others can tell it's time for you to give this thing all you got show them what it looks like to be called show them what it looks like to be chosen show them what it looks like
