BE STRONG...BECOMING THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF COMES WITH A LOT OF GOODBYES - Motivational Speech

foreign the biggest fear you have is that you felt you made too many mistakes and as a result of making too many mistakes that you don't deserve a second chance you don't have to end this life with regret you don't have to sit at your bedside and wonder what could have been you can change right now you can change the direction of your life you can change the direction of every relationship begins with your relationship with you your presence on this planet is no accident and you are absolutely here for a purpose you've been given a gift it's your Genius and it's intended to bring joy to your life and to lift the lives of those around you [Music] I want you to understand this if you want to bring out the best in others start with the mirror so many people are trying to persuade others trying to influence others trying to bring out the best in others but they're not starting with themselves it all starts with you it starts there because when you bring out the best in you you are very contagious if a person would sit down and let their body relax totally relax and then start to visualize in their mind see themselves the way they want to see themselves and see how you'd like to live your life see yourself living it that way okay now understand that that's a picture in your mind when you pick up a book the book is nothing but a picture that an author has painted in words Dream by painting and then I paint my dream we become what we think about now it may be fantasy at first it might even appear to us as being a lie but if you read it often enough you'll start to believe it listen to me man you have a great life in full but your great life is in front of you it's not behind you you must come to peace and come to terms with everything that you've ever faced there are things that have fortified a different aspect of your life because of trauma that happened as a child you've got to be willing to let go of that and so you can embrace the adult that you are now you cannot get rescued by anyone but you because if other people grab and reach in and try to pull you out you'll defend the small child you were that was taken advantage of but if you can look into your past and look at your life and realize that the times you you were most vulnerable and there was no one there to protect you that was not a time when you were made a victim that was a time when you became Victorious you embrace embrace the challenge it's a test it's a way to prove your s it's a way to toughen yourself up foreign we can compare the attitude to the aperture of a lens when you are fearful that aperture tends to close down giving you on the world if you take in less you have less to fear but as your mind closes down you miss see opportunities in coming up with new ideas but if that lens opens up and spans suddenly you can see all kinds of combinations and can nobody else to see because of their fearful closed lens the way they're looking at the world in this case the chaos of the world is not something to fear but something to exploit this is the source of all creative thinking [Music] that's why you got to work on your stuff because live will send you some curves you cannot anticipate whatever you do you want to develop technical mastery to be the best at what you do you want to master it see part of self-motivation is you've got to find something that gives you a strong sense of competence will you become known for that you develop a reputation of being good at doing that you set some high personal standards for yourself you're not competing with anybody else you're just unfolding yourself to be the best person that you could be I've looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself if today were the last day of my life what I want to do what I am about to do today and whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row I know I need to change something because almost everything all Pride all fear of embarrassment or failure these things just fall away in the face of death leaving only what is truly important remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the Trap of thinking you have something to lose there is no reason not to follow your heart this is the Instinct that says you [Music] 've the Instinct that says you've given it your best shot you can you can stand down you can back off you can take a knee this is the Instinct that says you can rest now do not listen to that instinct do not listen that instinct is a liar and wants to bring you down that that's the Instinct that's a defense mechanism wants to give you an out little little place of sympathy you see the path that you owe is up to you put one foot in front of the other start marching start chasing downward can be stop looking behind you you are involved those are in your past that there is nothing you need there's a period at the end of that chapter but this chapter this is your comeback year this is your comeback moment this is when you get up this is your moment in Rocky when you've been knocked down 10 times but you still won't quit this is where you get up and you fight and you get up before the count of ten you're not a quitter you're the winner [Music] thank you [Music]
