[Music]

people that are hungry are willing to do

the things today others won't do in
order to have the things tomorrow others
won't have to have a special life you
have to do special things and that
usually means putting in the work and
loving it no one is going to create the
future you want for you we get one
opportunity to come this way we get one
shot we've got one life to live life is
too short to make excuses I want you to
close your eyes and visualize your dream
I need you to get out of your comfort
zone if we all woke up ordinary we'd all
start the same but you've decided you're
not going to let events things people or
life determine who you
become it's a decision you have to make
within yourself no one else is
responsible for that stop waiting to
feel like it stop waiting until you see
it failure is only permanent if you
choose not to get back up what you do
today
will determine your future I'm asking
you what do you see in the future for
you what brought you here today what
caused you to get up you're closer than
you've ever been
before do me a favor those 15 minutes
are not worth the rest of your life it's
not easy but it's worth it you woke up
this morning to chase your dream until
you catch
it you're going to have to sacrifice who
you used to be
when you want to sleep you have to wake
up don't run from difficulty run to it
it's always darkest before the dawn
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Friday give it 120% every day every
single day is a new beginning take a
deep breath inhale exhale it's a new day
a new opportunity if you get setbacks
embrace them every day won't be good for
you every day won't always go your
way but something is always happening
you have to make it happen for the right
reasons every day of your life you must
believe in yourself every day of your
life you must have enough Faith to
understand that it's up to you to make a
difference you've got to realize your
only competition is
yourself they may be winning on the
outside but if you're losing on the
inside you have to overcome that shut
down every negative thought that comes
into your brain each time it pops up
tell yourself
no when it's time and your brain says 5
more minutes shut it down and say we're
getting up right
now use the 5-second rule like Mel Robin
says you have 5 Seconds to act on your
impulse or it's gone so don't wait 5
Seconds rise and grind rise and shine
rise and climb rise and give everything
you've got you might start on the right
path feeling good running doing
everything you need to do but it gets
harder Life Starts to push back people
start to push back everything around you
starts to crumble when you have nothing
else left to give you have to find
something else turn on that grind switch
get down dirty and nasty if you must do
whatever it takes to get what you want
go out there with everything you've got
it's time to set yourself on fire live
life with passion and put yourself in a
position to do what you want every
day rise and grind because the mindset
of greatness knows adversity breeds
resilience resilience leads to Next
Level success and Brilliance wake up get
up give every ounce of your heart and
soul I woke up early and went to bed
late I'm in Grind Mode you've got to see
the Sun and yourself to live in shine
mode it's not a Sprint it's a marathon
if you're not where you want to be it's
time to live in redesign mode refine
mode you were put here to win don't be
afraid of hard work don't be afraid to
grind harder don't be afraid to sweat I
guarantee you it will change your life
change how you think and you'll expand
not
shrink rise and
grind the mindset of greatness is
obsessed with winning and sees the
ultimate outcome right from the
beginning if you can't get up and get
after it how do you expect to win
if you can't get up and get after it how
do you expect to reach the next
level if you can't get up and get after
it how do you expect to raise the
championship Banner of your life it's
time to change your perception the
reality is you've got to put something
in to get something out you're going to
have those bad days but keep on grinding
you're going to want to quit but keep on
grinding ladies and gentlemen this is a
very important part of your life it is a
decision you have to make Within self no
one is responsible for that when
pressure begins to build called life
know that life is going to bring you ups
and downs mountains and valleys I'm sure
some of you in here have a backstory
full of ups and downs good days and bad
days I bet some of you have a backstory
filled with more difficulties traumas
and things that are hard for others to
comprehend see pressure can create
diamonds or it can bust a
pipe pressure is is not the problem
listen to be honest the challenges you
faced in 2024 and
2023 and what some of you have
experienced in the last several years
might not even be the most difficult
thing you'll ever
face maybe for some of you it's been
extremely painful maybe you've lost
someone close to you experienced trauma
abuse or something really painful but
for most of us 2024 and 2023 won't be
the hardest thing we ever face in life
life is about ups and downs it's about
pressure insecurities and
challenges the challenge for you and me
is what will we do with the pressure
we're under will we allow it to bust the
pipe or will we step into the
uncomfortable step into our story and
realize that the pressure challenge or
difficult situation can be turned into
something
valuable if we grab hold of the pressure
take control of what we can which is
ourselves our reactions and how we
respond that pressure can create
something valuable like a diamond there
are behaviors and habits we develop over
time often
unintentionally it's not that we set out
to have negative thought patterns or
habits a lot of times we're influenced
by the people we're
around by exposure by proximity we pick
up
Tendencies I'm sure some of you have
friends who say certain phrases and the
next thing you know you're saying the
same
thing maybe your mom or dad has even
said you sound just like so and so we
catch things from each
other for me what I caught from my dad
as a kid were his coping
mechanisms he put on a fake face a fake
smile acting like everything was fine on
the
surface but when I was alone looking in
the mirror I was
struggling I was silent I was screaming
but I was
quiet the truth is I got to a place
where I decided I wasn't going to wait
until tomorrow next semester next year
or whenever I got released to begin my
change right there in the middle of my
external discomfort I made a
stand I realized hard work Works make
good choices and good things
happen there's never a wrong time to do
what's right hard work and good choices
will always create opportunities for
your dreams your plans and the things
you've thrown against the wall to begin
to take
shape I Found the courage in the middle
of an uncomfortable and seemingly
hopeless storm to face the thing I was
most afraid of
myself I promise you transparency and
accountability and realizing that we've
got skin in the game called action
called choices are
key when you do your best to do the next
right thing and treat people the way you
want to be treated doors and
opportunities will open even in the
middle of your
storm don't lose the ability to know
that you are a critical
thinker you have the ability to process
think rationalize hear data and make
conclusions it's inside you don't settle
for anything less than real and
authentic if you want to go somewhere
you've never gone you have to do
something you've never done you have to
say something you've never said you have
to go to a place inside you that you've
never been before you're not sentenced
to this life you chose
it I feel like I've tried to hit a
different gear because one thing I've
realized over the last several years is
that the things I take for granted can
be taken from
me so now any moment I get a chance to
lecture communicate or challenge
somebody maybe to do what I long for
people to do for me I take it
I long not just for others but for
myself to live a life where I wake up
look in the mirror and confront myself I
am determined to resolve conflicts
Within
Myself I'm committed to being open and
honest about my behaviors how I operate
and how I use my time energy and
focus let me share something with
you the easiest thing I've ever done was
to earn a million
dollars the most difficult thing I've
ever done was to believe it could happen
to
me we all want to do something we all
want to be somebody we all want to go
somewhere if these things are going to
happen we've got to stop habitually
gravitating toward
excuses you've got a destiny to fulfill
you've got a purpose to walk into you've
got tests to pass dots to connect rooms
to walk in stages to stand on and tables
to sit at you've got to put a new mind
in yourself you've got to restructure
your thinking I'm ready to do this for
my family I'm ready to do this for my
mother I'm ready to win for my
father I'm ready to make history and do
something nobody ever thought I could
do we mistake comfort for
fulfillment let me tell you
something Comfort is equivalent to
complacency accomplishment is about
stepping Beyond Comfort I choose not to
be a common
man it is my right to be uncommon if I
can
I seek opportunity not security I want
to take calculated risks to dream and
build to fail and succeed I refuse to
live from hand to
mouth I prefer the challenges of life to
a guaranteed existence the thrill of
fulfillment to the stale calm of
Utopia I will never cower before any
Master nor Bend to any threat it's my
Heritage to Stand Tall to travel
unafraid to face the world boldly and to
say this I have
done who doubts you that's not the
problem the problem is when you doubt
you when you doubt yourself nothing gets
done when you doubt yourself every
little obstacle turns you back when you
doubt yourself everything seems harder
out of everyone who doubts you you
cannot doubt yourself you've got to
believe in you you've got to believe in
your ability you've got to believe that
you can win
we get one opportunity to come this way
we get one shot we've got one life to
live life is too short to make
excuses I'm here to talk to the game
changers the change agents who are
willing to confront any part of
themselves that isn't speaking to their
wildly amazing future when someone is in
love with who they've been called to
become what they've been called to
fulfill and what they've been destined
to do there are no days off don't wait
another moment don't wait another day
Don't Wait Another Minute it's lonely
it's
challenging it requires discipline and
perseverance it's a mindset it's not
over until I
win people who make excuses are not
connected to their
destination they have no end game no
goal they've allowed themselves to
become weak links covered under a
blanket of excuses but I'm just
wondering is there anyone here with a
dream I am ready come on say it with me
I am ready let me hear it again I am
ready consider this your wakeup call
most people fail to realize that pain is
inevitable pain is
unavoidable there is no path in life
without pain whatever you're going after
whoever you've been destined to become
you cannot have it without pain you will
face challenge challenges difficulties
and Giants it doesn't matter if you're
single married a stay-at-home parent an
entrepreneur working a 9 to-5 an
educator an athlete pain is
inevitable if I'm going to hurt like
this if I'm going to bleed like this if
I'm going to cry like this let me cry
because I'm in the best shape of my life
let me cry because I'm condition to
weather the uphill
battle let me cry because I'm building
my relationships my business and my
legacy
let me cry because it
hurts but there is a reward on the other
side of my
pain Let Me Cry tears because I passed
the test because I gave it everything I
had to choose my
hard everything in life comes with
hardship make a
decision at some juncture you will
encounter pain and the moment you get
acquainted with pain and hardship you
realize that no matter what you do no
matter how much you study or plan you
will not be able to avoid a measure of
pain I don't care what it is losing
weight adopting a new eating Paradigm
starting a new relationship forming new
thoughts or building new
behaviors it doesn't matter what you're
after or what you're looking to
become if you don't go to the gym it's
going to hurt
you if you do go to the gym it's going
to hurt you your muscles are going to
tear but on the other side of that pain
there is a reward there aren't any
regrets you won't regret taking care of
your
body on the other side of making those
healthy decisions there is a
reward
discipline it's the reward of longevity
it's the reward of influence it's the
reward of power do you want results do
you want a reward or do you want regrets
the decision is yours so choose your
heart pain is inevitable and unavoidable
pick your pain everybody has a plan
until life knocks them out we weren't
ready for the pain and when the pain
came we didn't process it processing
pain is a skill set you have to acquire
it's a type of currency if you want the
future if you want the next level if you
want tomorrow if you want to manifest
something anything you're going to have
to get acquainted with pain the pain of
discipline the pain of growth the pain
of learning the pain of giving the pain
of forgiving it all hurts so pick your
pain choose your hard at some Corner in
life you're going to encounter pain and
you've got to process it well hear me
when I say this pain is unavoidable it's
hard to let go of the past it's hard to
give your time your talent and your
treasure it's hard to balance work and
life it's hard to acquire new skills
it's hard to be
stagnant it's hard to be a Workhorse
it's hard to be lazy it's hard to learn
how to manage and cultivate
relationships it's hard to learn from
your
experiences it's hard to turn your mess
into your message it's all hard it's
hard to hold on it's hard to let
go but the reward on the other end of
many of these hardships is worth it
choose reward or
regret there is always reward and regret
attached to every decision you make hold
on pain ends pain has an expiration
date and when that pain ends another
will
surface but you will be strong enough
because you endured the current pain
well everybody wants Resurrection but
nobody wants the pain of dying to
themselves there's a pain that hurts you
and there's a pain that changes you so
today all I want you to do is make a
decision choose your hard rise and grind
you can't lay around until noon every
day and expect great to come your
way it doesn't work like that you get
out of life exactly what you put into it
control alt delete control yourself
alter your thinking delete
negativity it's about manifestation what
have you been destined to
become wake up there's always another
level life is not responsible for how
you take care of your own
mindset life is not responsible for you
having a positive
attitude you're not dead you still have
life your heart is still beating the
journey must continue Stop drowning and
learn how to swim don't blame life
because you fall down don't blame life
because that relationship didn't work
out don't blame life because that job
didn't turn out it is not life holding
you back you just need to be a little
tougher than your circumstances stop
concerning yourself with things you
can't control what are you made of what
is your DNA what is your mentality what
are your skill sets start writing down
the vision what are your goals what are
your financial goals what are your
relational goals what are your spiritual
goals start thinking about these things
you're still alive for a reason somebody
died today but you're still here in this
very moment you have an
opportunity when you take action when
you have dedication when you show
passion when you put in the word
you can't help but win limits exist only
in the mind you will meet
challenges many things will come at you
there will be times when you want to
give
up but you don't have permission to do
so you must carry on the good
fight what good is your greatness if you
don't stand on
it how can you hold on to who you really
are inside if you let everything else
convince you that you're not
worthy you have two options you can give
up or you can get up this is your day
get up and beat yourself from yesterday
what are you made of what is your
mentality what are the skill sets come
on start to write down the vision I need
you to rise and grind oh you're not
hearing what I'm saying I said it all
starts with your
mindset the true definition of mindset
is the driving force in the Quest for
success and
achievement a mindset that combines
discipline strength confidence and
ambition is a powerful mindset be
faithful be
productive put away the destructive
mindset let the world know that you
matter believe in every step that you
take I know you've got some
doubt I know you've got some
uncertainty you hate the image you see
in the
mirror you hate the way your money
looks you hate how your relationships
look
people you've given your all to keep
walking out on
you I know you feel stuck in Reverse I
know you feel underpaid undervalued and
overlooked but listen this is the day
Everything
Changes get up Roger get up and get
after it that's what's going to separate
you from the pack you're not scared to
get uncomfortable rise and grind wake up
with a renewed Spirit wake up with
renewed
passion you just need to be 1% better
than you were yesterday if you can be 1%
better than you were yesterday you're
making
progress I told you I wake up at 3:00 in
the morning 3:00 every day some days
when I wake up it's
2:45 I look at the clock and say look
between me and you we've got an
agreement it's
3:00 it's 2:45 right now
technically I've got 15 more minutes but
then I think if I go back to sleep for
those 15 minutes there's no guarantee
I'll wake up at
3:00 if I go back to sleep right now I
might wake up at 4:00 or 5:00 or
6:00 all I have is right now are those
15 minutes so sweet that I'm going to
push back my dream that I'm going to
push back my goal everything I've ever
wanted it is right there what is
it what's that one thing you're saying
to yourself I'm going to get this thing
done I'm going to make my dreams become
a
reality I need you to do me a huge favor
not just want to be a beast when you
leave this place but actually be a
beast when you leave this place get into
beast mode and stay in beast mode You've
Got One Life to Live it's time to get it
done are you tired of just thinking
about
it are you focused more on the risk than
the reward are you focused on the pain
of the process more than the glory on
the other
side you're listening to the wrong
people you're listening to the wrong
voices you're subscribed to the wrong
programs of
thinking stop waiting to feel like it
stop waiting for the conditions to be
perfect they're never going to be
perfect you're not always going to feel
like it you're not always going to see
it you're not always going to have the
resources you're not always going to
have a
handout the question is how bad do you
want this are you willing to
sacrifice are you willing to let go of
some things are you willing to put in
the work are you ready to be
consistent are you tired of this version
of
yourself the prize goes to the hardest
worker in the room
as an individual I need you to get your
schedule up I need you to get your life
up I need you to get your words up I
need you to get your heart up I need you
to get your action up I need you to get
to a place where every single thing you
do is phenomenal so the life you want to
live becomes the life you can live
you're not putting forth
120% you're not all in let me tell you
something if you get to that point where
you do EX exactly what you say you're
going to do you're going to get to the
next
level so let's get
started at the end of the day you can
listen to a million motivational
speeches but you're going to have to
wake up and make a decision to get it
done if you can hear my voice if you're
tired of where you are if you're tired
of not hitting your targets if you're
tired of not being aimed intentional
assertive and consistent you already
have everything you need to get
started stop waiting for the weather to
change in your life stop waiting for the
perfect conditions stop waiting for a
handout stop waiting for everybody to
believe in you cheer for you and affirm
you your dreams are
phenomenal in your dreams your bank
account is
phenomenal the life that you have for
yourself is
phenomenal the things that you do the
way that you live and what you have are
phenomenal but you as an individual are
average
what I'm challenging you to do is go
from average to good from good to great
and from great to
phenomenal enough is enough I'm getting
out of this place I've got stuff to do
I've got assignments to finish I've got
a destiny to fulfill I am sick and tired
I'm no longer willing to tolerate this
place of misery and pain everybody's got
a
dream everybody's got a goal everybody
wants something in life but many of you
right now you're beast mode mode is Idle
your beast mode is not turned on when
you leave this place I'm telling you
your life is going to go to a whole
other level if you can learn to turn
that switch on and keep it
on everybody's got purpose everybody's
got a dream everybody's got something
they have to pass achieve or become but
we are generationally programmed to Love
convenience the truth of the matter is
it is so convenient to make an excuse I
want to give you just a few things that
you can do to help you stop making
excuses to help you stop habitually
gravitating to the place called
convenience you've got to stop comparing
yourself to everybody else rule number
one kill the comparison
game well I don't do it like them I
don't say it like them I'm not as tall
as them I'm not as strong as them I
don't have the money they have I don't
have the resources they
have stop
it the reason why you couldn't do it
isn't because of your parents it's not
because your coach didn't create the
highlight reel for your scholarship stop
blaming everybody
else when will you look in the mirror
and stop comparing yourself to everyone
else we compare ourselves to the way
people
look we compare our stories to their
stories We compare our relationships to
theirs every single day we make these
comparisons it's like a warm blanket
pulled over us covering the underlying
issue of fear the truth is the reason
you haven't done it is that you're
afraid maybe if you listen to this a
couple of times it will hit you in your
gut stop making so many
excuses an excuse is nothing but
cosmetic it's makeup it's a blanket it's
a convenience we habitually gravitate to
because it makes us feel better but the
underlying issue the inflammation is
fear we're afraid committed to being a
champion be committed to being a warrior
be committed to keeping your eyes
focused on the
prize this is what you work for stay
hungry you've got to trust yourself
you've got to believe in yourself run
that mile when you run that mile run
another mile when you start to feel
tired get into that second and third
gear when you feel like your grip is
getting weak find something else to make
it strong again don't quit on on you
don't quit on this opportunity don't
quit on your success don't quit on being
the best version of yourself why are you
here take a good look at what you see in
front of you look around at the end of
it all you must understand that if it
goes down you must make sure you're the
last man or woman standing standing
strong standing hard and ready for
whatever may come when somebody is in
love with who they've been called to
become what they've been called to
fulfill and what they've been destined
to do there is no day off there are no
light days I'm not a light switch you
can't turn me off I can never get turned
off every single day I'm giving
everything I have that's how big my
dream is there's no excuse there's no
pain no dilemma no speed bumps and no
distraction that can turn me off I'm not
a light switch you can't turn me off I
want this thing every single day let the
world see something they've never never
seen before in you let them witness
something special something unique
you're not done yet keep going keep
fighting keep pushing keep breathing
understand this is the time and this
time it's yours earn your keep earn your
Victory when you cross that Finish Line
look up to the heavens With Your Hands
Held High take a deep breath because you
made it if it's important to you you'll
find a way you won't have to look for
excuses you'll get resourceful it's not
always about the accomplishment it's
about the
effort all right so watch this three
things work what do I mean when I say
work on your work first you've got to
study your work are you hearing me
you're going to work every single day
but you're not getting better at it
because you're not studying it literally
you've got to study your own work if you
play football or basketball or if you're
a teacher look if you're a teacher get
yourself a camera and put it in the room
stop letting the principal study your
work stop letting the assistant
principal or administrators study your
work you should be studying your own
work you should be your own performance
coach you should be looking at what you
do how you do it when you do it and why
you do it you should study your work
second listen to me we're taking it to
another level critique your work I'm
talking about examining it and measuring
it from day to day from week to week
from month to month from year to year I
want you to critique your work I'm my
greatest critic I'm not relying on
YouTube comments I'm not relying on the
feedback of others I'm constantly trying
not just to look at my work not just to
study it but to critique it evaluate it
and measure it there's no way you can
get to another level if you can't
measure your work you got to know where
you are to know where you're
going so I I need you to critique your
work
third I need you to reflect on your
work sometimes you need to just step
back from your work step back and
reflect on it really think about it
think about how you do what you do think
about all the moves step back and
reflect so here's what I need you to do
study your work critique your work and
reflect on your work if you can do this
you're going to go to a whole other
level
stop just going to work stop just doing
what you've been told to
do I want you to work on your work every
single day every single week every
single month every single year you
should get better at what you do stop
looking for a promotion stop looking for
a
raise if you're not going to increase
your performance nothing else around you
is going to
increase how bad do you want it do you
want it as bad as you want to breathe I
hear what you're saying I don't have any
more room for growth I've done
everything if you're still alive you've
not done everything you could do if
you're still alive there's room for
growth I understand that I've got to
upgrade everything I do every day every
week every month every year has got to
get better for some of you you're going
to work but whether it's BAS
soccer sales or education if you're the
same teacher this year as you were last
year that's a problem I need increased
performance once you increase your
performance everything else increases
here's the problem this isn't for the
weekend it's about Commitment if you
want to succeed you can't play around
there's no middle
ground you're either here or there when
you want something bad you can't count
the cost if you count the cost you might
see how much it's going to cost and you
might
quit you might give up you've got to go
in knowing I don't count the cost I'll
do as many push-ups as it takes as many
sit-ups as it takes as many reps as it
takes I'll study as long as it takes
I'll pay whatever the price is why
because if I start counting the cost I
might quit I might give up I might
surrender don't count the cost you don't
count how many breaths you take you
don't count the cost on this one I'll
give you two names LeBron James and Dirk
Nowitzki both won a championship Dirk
won his championship and listen to me
closely Dirk got the trophy Dirk went to
the club with the
trophy but if you look at Dirk a year
after the Championship what do you see
absolutely nothing if you look at his
assists rebounds scoring everything he
went down ever since he won the
championship he's literally been going
down now look at LeBron James LeBron won
a title but if you study LeBron
everything went up his assists went up
his scoring went up his defense went up
his shooting percentage went up
everything has gone up if you want more
money if you want a promotion if you
want to leave a legacy you've got to
increase you can't stay where you are
and think things around you are going to
grow if you keep doing what you've
always done good or bad you'll keep
getting what you've always got you just
do what you've got to do on this one and
then then you look back when it's all
over and you see the rewards you look
back and see the accomplishments you
don't count it you just look back and
see that you
succeeded if you give me increased
performance hear me increased
performance is going to increase your
pay increased performance is going to
increase your
responsibility nobody is going to give
you more responsibility if you can't
handle the responsibility that you
already have the future is very
expensive I don't know what it is that
you want to do but everybody's got
something they want to do everybody's
got something they want to
become everybody's got somewhere they
believe they've been destined to go
often times we don't hit these targets
because we're not considering the cost
let me share a few things you need to
start sacrificing right now number one
your time you've got to get used to
sacrificing your time if you're going to
achieve it if you're going to become
it if you're going to go somewhere
you're going to have to learn how to
sacrifice your time
you can't have the
future if you don't know how to wake up
at 3:00 in the morning 4:00 or 5:00 in
the morning you can't have the
future you will not be able to manifest
if you're sleeping when the world sleeps
you've got to learn how to get up when
everybody else is sleeping you only have
24 hours in a day you've got to learn to
manage the time that is given to you
this means you can't binge watch your
favorite TV show every day this means
you can't be on social media every day
this means you can't do whatever you
want all day and think you're going to
manifest become this person and achieve
this feat it's not going to happen
number two Comfort I need you to get out
of your comfort zone if you're going to
be successful if you're going to achieve
it if you're going to become it you've
got to break out of your comfort zone
some of you have financial goals
relational goals or health goals but
you're
comfortable you're comfortable in the
current toxic relation ship you're in
you're comfortable being
overweight but I'm just wondering if
there's anybody listening to me who's
just flat out tired of being
comfortable number three past versions
of yourself there's an irritation an
anguish and a pain that we all carry
when we show up in a new season as the
old version of
ourselves every season requires a new
version of you another version of
discipline focus and
intentionality you've got to sacrif rice
the old
you I know you keep celebrating small
wins what you accomplished 5 years ago 2
years ago or in high school but I need
you to find a mirror I need you to say
goodbye to the old version of
yourself in the next 3 to 6 months
you're going to make yourself
proud the next thing that's got to go is
fear pride and ego for many of us fear
is disguised as rationality and
practicality
fear is disguised as a planning
agent I'm just planning out the process
I'm just going to wait I'm just walking
myself through everything and processing
everything fear cloaks itself is
process I'm talking to
you I need you to find a mirror bind up
the spirit of fear and tell yourself I
am not afraid if you were to ask me what
I fear I don't fear starting I fear
never starting I fear sleeping on my
potential
I'm terrified of not manifesting and
becoming the version of myself I was
destined to be the next thing you're
going to have to sacrifice is your Vice
now listen I don't know what your Vice
is if you're trying to lose weight your
Vice could be ice cream chips cupcakes
or cookies if you're trying to be
financially fit your Vice could be
splurging on clothes entertainment food
or
Recreation sometimes you're going to
have to Sur surrender that month that
quarter or even that
year it takes a lifetime of
discipline can you surrender what you
have
possessed can you surrender what is
possessing you some of you are possessed
by social media it's no longer a servant
it's a master social media is a
beautiful servant but it is a terrible
Master can you surrender social media
can you surrender your time can you
surrender yourself can you surrender
your mind can you surrender your will
can you stop choosing what's killing you
if you're going to achieve it if you're
going to manifest it if you're going to
do this thing then you're going to need
some stamina come on believe it you've
got to start speaking that stamina over
your life speaking that endurance over
your life believe it if you're going to
be extraordinary you can't make ordinary
sacrifices there are levels to sacrifice
there are sacrifices that everybody
makes sacrifice in every season of our
lives and then there are some
extraordinary sacrifices you can't have
the future if you can't surrender
something that's no longer serving you
you cannot manifest you cannot become
the next version of yourself and you
cannot experience a higher quality of
life unless you
sacrifice there are some things that you
love too much there are some people
you've kept in your life they are toxic
they add no value and they are no longer
serving your
vision it's time for the next version of
yourself snap out of it this version of
you is not going to carry you into this
next
season you're going to have to sacrifice
who you used to be and be intentional
about bringing forth positive
transformation in your life your future
self will thank you imagine what your
life would look like if you decided that
you will not stay
stuck imagine what your life would look
like if you decided that you refused to
give
up I need the present-day version of of
you to invest in your
dreams because if you grind now you my
friend will shine later no it's not
going to be easy I'm not going to tell
you that
lie there will be a lot of days when you
want to
quit there will be days when you trip
slip and fall and you'll have to muster
up the energy to get yourself back up
but what you can never do is accept
losing you know the mindset you know the
Mantra you never lose you only learn I
promise you all of the hard work you're
putting in today will pay off we've got
to learn how to execute the day give us
this day we've got to learn how to
execute the day conquer the day what is
it that you can do today to get closer
to the Fulfillment of that future to get
closer to the manifestation of the
future a few years from now will you be
living the life you've envisioned or
will you be frustrated and disappointed
because you set goals but didn't take
them seriously don't don't negotiate
with yourself when it comes to following
through on the commitments you've made
your future self needs you to have the
courage to keep going when you face an
intimidating
challenge sometimes you have to extend
your hand and hope you're in a circle
where someone will extend a hand back
because you can't always do it by
yourself sometimes you've got to ask the
right
questions sometimes you've got to be
soaring with the right Eagles and they
can pull you along until you get
yourself into the right mind
mindset we've also got to be kind not
only to others throughout our process
but also to
ourselves the problem with many of us is
that we're not kind to
ourselves be kind to yourself you can be
assertive direct and firm but you can
also have a little empathy and kindness
not only toward others but toward
yourself the truth of the matter is
you're not always going to feel like
doing what you were designed to do we've
got to condition ourselves for the
stretch with gratitude we're going to
need that coupled with
patience the future takes time to
manifest you're going to have to acquire
a different set of skills a different
work
mentality it's going to require you to
become a different version of
yourself remember why you're doing what
you're doing it may be difficult
cumbersome and even seem impossible it's
difficult but I'm determined you push
through the pain and get back up each
and every time
I need you to believe in your heart of
hearts that you cannot be
broken you are an unbreakable force and
everything that you're doing right now
will eventually pay off in the long
run you've got to believe that you've
got to know that just look
around all of the people you see shining
they're only shining because of
consistent Relentless grinding your
daily decisions your habits your
programming the way you think the way
you talk the way you walk all of it
Blood Sweat tears
sacrifice the people you've had to let
go the sleep you've had to lose the
multiple jobs you've had to work the
hours on end of studying feeding on your
craft every single day it's not easy but
it's worth it there will be nights when
you cry yourself to sleep there will be
times when you want to throw in the
towel but if you keep going
your future self will thank you if you
can hear your future self talking to you
now the future you would say thank you
for not giving
up turn your haters into your motivators
and never let anybody else's opinion be
bigger than your
own understand the struggles you go
through are helping you get to your
destiny the adversity in Hills you have
to run the mountains you have to climb
they are taking you to Greatness so I'm
I'm telling you don't run from the
adversity don't run from the problem
because if you don't face it you can't
become it it's going to make you
stronger it's going to make you
better because you're overcoming the
sour taste of now to get to the Sweet
Taste of
later blessings seem to find you because
the universe conspires to make sure
everything falls into
place you've got so much heart passion
and
desire the fire keeps burning but at
times it starts to
fizzle then you remember you owe it to
your future self and that gas turns that
fizzle into a system you want to leave a
legacy and contribute to the greater
good so for now it's about the
uncomfortable discipline and sacrifice
because the cash out in the future means
today you've got to pay the
price that means when your friends ask
can you go your heart wants to say yes
but your willpower says no
you've got to be locked in and stay woke
the vultures will hate you tried to give
them
Vision but they never put on the right
frames their sight was blurry their
grades reflected it and now they want to
throw shade at you but your Shield
deflected it you tell them winning in
progress over here please eliminate the
negative vibe it's time to remove them
from your circle and find yourself a
positive tribe misery loves company but
that misery cannot have any of your
companionship everybody on your team is
working as a unit to go back and win the
championship you owe it to your future
self to make money moves because time
waits for no one whether you succeed or
fail it will pass soon walk with
character and integrity so your
reflection in the mirror is who you want
to see your future self is counting on
your current self to set the tone and
ensure your future is not only bright
but powerful and
strong your future self is counting on
your current self to never take
shortcuts and never lack
Integrity the day will come for you to
walk with character and
Clarity greatness is your destiny but at
times you must reboot your mental
computer every step you take today
matters this is a great day to win
