IF YOU WANT TO BE STRONG, LEARN TO FIGHT ALONE - Motivational Speech

if you give up on your dreams if you give up on your dreams what do you have left whenever I get to a low point where I think why do I even bother I just remind myself this is where most people stop hard feels shitty this is what hard feels like and this is why most people can't do it but you can this is what hard feels like try not to resist the changes that come your way instead let life live through you and do not worry that your life is turning upside down and not going the way you want it to how do you not know that the side that you are used to is better than the one that's to come today is not all that you have you've got to stop thinking about just today it's about thinking about your future it's about turning it into a vision it's not about dreaming because dreams are very weak dreams are limited by your imagination and your past experiences but Vision vision is something that has to be inspired vision is about dreaming and thinking of things you've never done and going places you've never gone becoming something you've never been and then going down the road of chasing it into existence you've got to get over talking about now in the present you got to start thinking about what do you want to leave behind remember it's not what you have but what you do with what you have that separates winners from losers it's not what happens to you but how you respond to what happens to you that counts in the final analysis your response to the adversity of life is the real measure of who you are and what you're made of circumstances do not make the man or woman they merely reveal him to himself everyone eventually goes through periods of great difficulty their own private Hells their Dark Nights of the soul but it is by facing whatever life gives us with courage and determination that we grow more surely toward the [Music] Stars I tell all of you that are out there chasing a dream to keep chasing it I know right now you might feel alone might feel like it's just you out there doing it everyone thinks you're crazy people are talking bad about you family's worried about you bless their heart let them worry about you let me tell you something I want you to hear me yes you you were born to do something great with your life you were you're not average in ordinary there's this part of your heart that wants to be somebody so bad that wants to make a difference for other people that wants to win that wants to accomplish something great everyone around you might think you're crazy I'm there to tell you you're not crazy cuz I admire you out there paying the price putting the hours in life is too short to keep pushing your dreams aside those two simple words can hold so much power over you not yet implies that your dreams are just beyond your reach that you're not ready and that the time isn't right but let me tell you something the time will never be perfect and you will never feel completely ready the truth is life doesn't wait for you to catch up it moves forward with or without you arest part about change is not making the same Choice as you did the day before and the moment you decide to make a different Choice you're going to feel uncomfortable cuz you're stepping from the known into the unknown you have to be willing to suffer when everybody else gives up you have to be able to endure when everybody else packs it in and this is what creates greatness and without that vision of what you're trying to be without that conscious decision that I going to do this no matter what the happens you can never achieve it because you don't have the motivation to stick through the hard times when everybody else quits are you the type of person that will plant trees so that they would grow and your grandchildren can sit in that that shade if you're thinking about Legacy if you're thinking about the impact that you can have in years to come and generations to come then you start planning move your calendar from today to a month from now what do you want to be doing a year from now what should my life look like what should my home look like what should my family say about me write your obituary out now about the things you want to do things you want to be remembered for it's not about you getting up and going to work work it's about the work you put into people not willing to sacrifice for your goals that's okay you just need to know that your goals will become the sacrifice you have to give up what you want now for what you want most and if you're not willing to do that just cool just know you'll never you'll never get to where you really want to be pain that you go through is temporary but the greatness on the other side is forever it's the thing that we always got to constantly remember and if we could just get past that pain threshold training whatever it is and on the other side of that is the good it's the greatness so get past that threshold and get to your greatness but what if life wasn't about happiness what if life is about experiencing every aspect and every emotion that life has wouldn't you want to experience the full set in range of emotions that life has to offer you the sadness the heartbreaks The Joy right right you can't have happiness without sorrow you can't have pleasure without pain and to neglect one thing is to neglect life get sick and tired of being sick and tired get over the idea that this is it that there isn't anything more there's always more in the tank how do you tap into that Reserve you empty you you challenge yourself you find a fear that you have of heights and you conquered that thing remove all of those things out of your life and when you die you will be empty but you will have filled the world with impact [Music]
