1:00
it's not going to be

compensated for safety efficacy or
1:05
quality. in life that you don't
1:07
currently have right now, it's because
1:09
of who you are and how you
1:11
think. Come on, right now, you're saying
1:13
ET, man, you're talking to me, man,
1:15
I'm going through some type of pain,
1:17
something in life, I'm ready to quit,
1:19
I'm going to give up on it,
1:22
I'm ready to give up on it,
1:24
come on, raise it up. Oftentimes
1:28
we find ourselves in situations where
1:30
the adversity hits and we want
1:33
to stop. We want to quit. And
1:35
so what often happens for many
1:37
of us is that we stop
1:39
and we think, but I'm telling
1:41
you to stop thinking and just
1:43
go. Everybody thinks they can have
1:45
the perfect decision. There is no
1:47
perfect decision. So pick and be
1:50
happy with it and then if
1:52
it works out, great. And if
1:54
it doesn't adjust. I think people
1:56
overthink decisions. You'll never know what
1:58
the alternative would have been. So just
2:00
pick one and do it. I need
2:02
you to write a date down that
2:05
you're going to fully commit right now,
2:07
write the date down that you're going
2:09
to fully commit to what you know
2:12
you could be doing. Right now, I
2:14
need a date, I need a date.
2:16
Come on, write it down, write it
2:19
down. I need you to commit. I'm
2:21
a count to three. The
2:25
reason why you can't wait for things
2:27
to be perfect is because there is
2:29
no perfect moment. Now is the only
2:31
perfect moment you need. Now is the
2:34
time for you to say, I'm ready
2:36
to take the next step. Like we
2:38
can't control who we are. We can't
2:40
control the emotion that we bring. We
2:43
can't control the way in which we
2:45
view things. We can't control our optimism
2:47
levels. We can't control who we choose
2:49
to be. I deserve to see what
2:51
my life would look like if I
2:54
gave a hundred and twenty percent. I
2:56
know what my life was like when
2:58
I put in 55. I know what
3:00
it was like when I didn't try.
3:03
I know what my life was like
3:05
when I didn't care. I'm challenging you.
3:07
I'm challenging you to get from where
3:09
you are. I'm telling you to stop
3:12
accepting the life that was given to
3:14
you. Like
3:19
life can be hard life can
3:21
be rough, but there's something special
3:23
and there's something powerful about the
3:26
human mind and about the human
3:28
spirit and about the human will
3:30
when you tell yourself I won't
3:32
give up I won't surrender I
3:34
won't quit I'm gonna show up
3:37
every single day and do the
3:39
best of I can Once you
3:41
enter into a situation with the
3:43
right mindset Once you enter into
3:46
a situation and understand that it's
3:48
first about self-belief and a commitment
3:50
to your purpose, if you're driven
3:52
towards what you're supposed to do
3:54
first and foremost before you operate
3:57
in that environment, you're already a
3:59
success. And a
4:01
lot of y'all scared, just
4:03
walk into it. Stop running
4:05
from it, because your life
4:08
ain't sweet, since you've been
4:10
running. It ain't like your
4:12
life sweet from running. Listen
4:14
to me very closely. Y'all
4:16
running from obstacles, when in
4:18
fact, it's the obstacle that's
4:20
gonna take you to the
4:22
next level. Give yourself the
4:25
opportunity to continue on your
4:27
path. Don't see failure as
4:29
a stopping point, see failure
4:31
as a part of your
4:33
process. You're still in motion.
4:35
The biggest concern I have
4:37
for you is that you
4:40
think you did something wrong
4:42
and now you're behind. That's
4:44
how I feel. I know,
4:46
which is why you're in
4:48
trouble. The answer is you're
4:50
not going to find nothing
4:52
if you're still dwelling. of
4:54
what got you to the
4:57
spot. If you actually said,
4:59
oh shit, I'm 25, I
5:01
can do for five years,
5:03
I'll be a cook for
5:05
six months, I'll be an
5:07
architect for six months, I'll
5:09
start a sneakabram for six.
5:11
If you did that and
5:14
realize at 30, after five
5:16
years of then, you're still
5:18
young as fuck? Yeah. Then
5:20
you win. If you're like,
5:22
fuck. Are
5:24
you ready to take the next
5:26
step? Are you ready to start
5:28
the new chapter? Are you ready?
5:30
Are you ready? You're not waiting
5:32
for the perfect time. You gonna
5:34
make it the perfect time. You
5:36
don't need a perfect class for
5:38
you to do what you gotta
5:40
do. You don't need the perfect
5:43
teacher for you to succeed. You
5:45
don't need the perfect classmates for
5:47
you to overcome. You don't need
5:49
to be in the perfect setting.
5:51
Nah, even when it's not perfect,
5:53
you're going to make it why.
5:55
Because you've feud on the inside.
5:57
You deserve it. to see what
5:59
your life would look like if
6:01
you gave a hundred and twenty
6:03
percent. You've been living 70 percent?
6:05
80 percent? We've been talking about
6:07
it. And you're looking at the
6:09
results, the outcome, right? You reap
6:11
what you sow. You're looking at
6:13
the outcome of somebody giving 70
6:15
percent. Like everything you have, everything
6:17
you are, everything you're doing. Like
6:19
it's 78. And what I need
6:21
you to do is I need
6:24
you to look at yourself in
6:26
the mirror and say, come on,
6:28
quit, stop playing. I deserve to
6:30
see what my life would look
6:32
like if I gave 120%. It's
6:34
about the way in which you
6:36
operate. And when you start to
6:38
try to define your purpose, I'm
6:40
not someone to say that I
6:42
found it yet, but what I'm
6:44
understanding is it's a process of
6:46
becoming. You have to put yourself
6:48
in situations where you fail over
6:50
and over again. There are processes
6:52
that allow you to grow, develop,
6:54
mature. The
6:59
next time you see failure, define
7:02
failure as your teacher. The next
7:04
time you see adversity, define adversity
7:06
as your advantage. The next time
7:08
you see an obstacle, define your
7:11
obstacle as an opportunity. The next
7:13
time you see loss, define your
7:15
loss as a lesson. Put those
7:18
things together and understand that you
7:20
have the ingredients for your success.
7:25
I think oftentimes we try to step
7:27
into situations and we have doubt failure
7:30
and fear on our minds and we
7:32
wonder why the situation doesn't go the
7:34
way in which it was supposed to
7:36
go. Right? Like you step into a
7:39
situation and you're hesitant, you're 50-50 on
7:41
why it is, you're going to where
7:43
you're supposed to go, and then you
7:45
wonder why you don't get the result
7:48
you're supposed to get. When you stepped
7:50
in with cloud. Man, I feel like
7:52
I've been pushed down in the dirt.
7:55
I feel like people have been stumping
7:57
on me I feel like stuff has
7:59
been raining on me But you didn't
8:01
realize as my young friends you was
8:04
just a seed You gotta tell yourself,
8:06
no no no no no, I haven't
8:08
been pushed down in the dirt and
8:10
I haven't been stumped on, I've been
8:13
planted and I've been placed in this
8:15
pot for a reason and we're at
8:17
this arena here to be able to
8:20
have a conversation to say what does
8:22
it look like to go to that
8:24
next level? Maybe the beginning of your
8:26
story was rough but I got good
8:29
news for you, there's another chapter. And
8:31
the next chapter is gonna be your
8:33
best chapter. Because the next chapter, you're
8:35
getting ready to write something new. The
8:38
next chapter, it will say, happily ever
8:40
after. Your next chapter is gonna be
8:42
better than your last chapter, because it's
8:45
not about how you start. There is
8:47
no destination. When we talk about goals,
8:49
we're talking about goals setting, because you
8:51
should be focused on the person you're
8:54
becoming and not the result. The
9:04
only block for you is you.
9:06
You've been looking for a word.
9:08
You've been looking for a person.
9:10
You've been looking for someone to
9:12
call you. You've been looking for
9:15
someone to point you. You've been
9:17
looking for someone to actually assent.
9:19
That is not the case. It's
9:21
on you and you alone. And
9:24
if we all operate with that type of
9:26
purpose, it doesn't matter what you do. If
9:28
we all operate with that purpose, when you
9:30
step into a building, I don't care what
9:32
it is that you do. If you do
9:35
it with the type of passion and zeal
9:37
and enthusiasm that allows people to know that
9:39
you have a mission statement with how you
9:41
move, you leave your mark on the world.
