If I only had 3 minutes to change someone's life, my message would be: there's nothing holding you back besides yourself. Family ties, skin color, or identity are not the barriers—your own excuses are.
To become the person you want to be and make the impact you desire, start by changing your environment and eliminating distractions. Remember, no one is coming to save you; you already have everything you need within you. By controlling your own actions and environment, you can begin to help others and make the significant impact you dream of.
Inspired by the quote, 'Be the change you want to see in the world,' learn how personal responsibility and self-control are key to achieving your goals and making a difference.
If I only had three minutes to change your life,
this is exactly what I would say.
Your whole life changes the minute you decide
that there is nothing in your way.
Your skin color, your identity, your family ties,
none of it matters
because that's not what's holding you back.
To be the person that you want to be
and to make the impact that you want to make,
you have to stop listening to your own excuses.
You have to stop holding yourself back
in order to get to where you're trying to go.
And the fastest way to get to where you want to go in life
is to change your environment.
Your environment is your number one distraction.
This is what's likely holding you back,
keeping you feeling stuck and comfortable
and not pursuing your goals.
Your friends, your relationships,
the physical location where you live,
all of it probably needs to change
if you want to build your dream life.
In order to truly level up,
the hard truth is that you're going to have to change
your entire environment.
Once you change your environment,
you have to understand
that you already have everything inside you
that you need in order to be successful.
But you want to know
what is not going to help you be successful?
Prescription medication is not going to solve your problems.
ADHD, learning disabilities,
these are excuses that you're using
to not be winning at life.
And medicating these things will not solve your problems.
You're the only person who is able to solve your problems.
No one is coming to save you.
No pill is coming to save you.
Remember that if you want to make an impact on the world
and have a great life, it starts with you.
And you already have everything that it takes.
But this great life won't actually start
until you figure out what is stopping you.
And the number one thing that held me back was control.
You see, as a young girl,
I used to have this quote on my desk from Gandhi
and it said,
be the change you want to see in the world.
And I really wanted to help people
and I really desired to make a difference in the world.
But how could I have done that
if I couldn't even control my choices
and how I spent my time?
How am I controlling the amount of studying that I'm doing?
How am I controlling what I put into my body?
If I can't control what time I go to bed at night
and what time I wake up in the morning,
what are the chances that I'm actually gonna be able
to control my life enough
in order to make an impact on somebody else's?
So figure this out.
What is stopping you?
And take the steps required to change it starting today.
You already have every single thing that you need
in order to be successful.
And if you change and you improve just a little bit
every single day,
success is right around the corner if you do not quit.
