I need to constantly remind

myself over and over again I

am not yet where I want to be
but I know I'll get there it's
not enough to hope to win one
day you've got to expect to
win today when you set a goal
there needs to be a sense of
urgency see we don't have the
courage and that's what it
takes courage it takes guts to
do that which you know you
need to do if you don't have
the courage to act life many
times will move on you and
make you act life will whoop
your butt so bad you will be
so miserable you will catch so
 much hell you say yes I will
do it what do you want me to
do take me good dream it's
not going to work and say
take a breather it's gonna say
come catch me catch me if
you can if only I'd taken the
chance they didn't start a
business they
didn't ask that Crush out for a
date they didn't travel they
had an opportunity at one
point in their life to do
something Beyond play it safe
they chose not to do that and
now they regret it many of us
don't do the things that we
want to do and don't act
believe in everything that you
are and understand that within
you there's something greater
than any obstacle you'll ever
face have faith in your
abilities work hard never give
up and there's nothing you
can't accomplish it's all on
you if you found it's because
you'll stop running if you fail
it's because you'll stop crying
you stop care you stop
working you'll stop working
for that dream they dangled in
your face [Music] the gift that
God left you [Music] don't be
the person that forget to open
your gift because that dream
 has everything you needed
that dream is the road that
will lead to your Paradise
regret hurts there's no
question about that but here's
the thing regret also instructs
and you can't have one
without the other so if you
avoid the pain you don't get
any of the learning so what
you have to do is be able to
process that pain and I think
there's a way for us to do that
to take our regrets use them as
signals you my friends are
gonna get this you are going
to get that promotion you are
going to complete that
marathon and you are going
to run for your life not only
can you create your life you
can re-create it as in order to
begin to reinvent your life
you've got to make a
conscious deliberate
determined effort that you
really got to put all of
yourself into it
there's nothing going to stop
me if you didn't make me you
can't break me if you didn't
make the song come up you
can't stop me if you didn't
make the moon shine that
night you can't stop me my
purpose my will my
 dedication my motivation is
all about doing the business
because guess what ladies and
gentlemen that's what I'm
about I'm about that business
I'm about that life what are
you about [Music] Brooklyn
sounds hard but it's only hard
when you don't want the
reward bad enough when you
want something bad enough
you will wake up early when
you want something bad
enough you will pass on
hanging out with your friends
when you want something
bad enough you will knock
back down you don't have to
prove anything to anyone but
yourself
[Music] we'll begin to
discover some things about
you that you don't know
you've got start waiting for
your dreams run towards your
dreams because the moment
you stop running the moment
you start fighting is today you
will lose go wait for it tell you
to fight continue to taste of
what you truly want out of
your life today is here today
you're breathing today is your
opportunity work like hell
crack the ground and keep
moving make the ground
 shake crack the world get it
going don't let nothing stop
you when the rest of the
world shuts you down you've
got to be the one to stand up
shout out cry out stay tall
work hard dig deep and go
after it day one or one day
you decide rise and grind you
can't lay around the 12 each
and every day and expect
greatness to come
your way it don't work like
that till you get out of this life
exactly what you put into this
life control alt delete control
yourself alter your thinking
and delete negativity period
 it's about manifestation what
have I 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
and 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 did not turn out it is not
 life that's holding you back
you just gotta be a little bit
tougher than your
circumstances can't concern
yourself about things that you
had no control over [Music]
what are you made of what is
your DNA what is your
mentality what are the skill
sets come on start to write
down the vision what are your
goals what are your financial
goals what are your relational
goals what are your spiritual
goals come on start thinking
about these things you're still
alive for a reason somebody
died today but you're still here
 listening in this very moment
you have an opportunity
disease the opportunity when
you take that kind of kind of
when you have that
dedication when you show
that kind of passion when you
put in that kind of work you
can't help but win because
limits exist only in the mind
you will meet many
challenges many things
will come at you there are
going to be times that you're
going to want to give up but
you don't have the permission
to do so [Music] you must
carry on a 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 tell you that you're not
worthy you got two options
you can give up or get up this
is your day get up and beat
yourself from yesterday what
are you made of what is your
DNA what is your mentality
what are the skill sets come
on start to write down the
vision [Music] I need you to
rise and grow oh you're not
hearing what I'm saying I said
it all starts with your mindset
see 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 and you've got some
uncertainty and you hate the
image that you see in the
mirror and you hate the way
your money looks and your
relationships look and people
that you've given your all to
 keep walking out on you I
know you feel stuck in
Reverse I know you feel like
you're underpaid and
undervalued and overlooked
but listen this is the day that
everything changes get up rise
and cry get up and get after it
that's what's gonna separate
you from the pack you're not
scared to get uncomfortable
rise and grind and
wake up with a renewed Spirit
wake up with a renewed
passion just need you to be
one percent better than you
were yesterday if you can be
one percent better than you
were yesterday you're making
progress don't believe the
height don't feed into it if you
if you work hard you don't
talk about it be about speak it
once put it out in the
atmosphere don't be scared
put it out if you want to be an
artist do you want to be an
engineer I don't know but I
want you to start the year off
we're not talking about you
know fake dreaming and just
writing goes down to be doing
it I'm talking about knowing
what you want because when
you know what you want
that's where the drive comes
from that's where the passion
comes from I'm not sure what
you want but I need you to
understand that you got to
give some you can't stay
where you are and go where
you're trying to go and that's
the problem many of you you
love your comfort zone too
much you love it you love
security too much and I'm
telling you you can stay
where you are you can but
you can't stay where you are
and try to go where you're
going you're not locked in
you're not focused you're not
concentrating you are not all
 in are you hear me yes your
body's there you're present
you're you're in the library
you're on the hardwood yes
you at work but you at work
on Facebook you at work on
Twitter you asking for a
promotion you asking for a
raise listen to me but you're
not all in and I need to do me
a huge favor if if your f is low
you're probably not thinking
about the opportunity
you're probably thinking
about the obligation and when
you think about 18 how you
stay pumped up et's how you
stay on fire E.T how you
 always driven even in the
midst of trials and tribulations
even in the midst of your
haters when people trying to
break you and tear you down
E.T how you stay strong is
easy baby I keep thinking
about the opportunity every
single day I'm thinking about
the opportunity and I'm not
looking at this thing as an
obligation I need you to speak
it one time one time that's it I
need you to say it one time I
need you to get out in the
atmosphere I need you to say
it so you can hold yourself
accountable to what you said
 tell a friend so they can hold
you accountable but after you
say it once shut your mouth
go into the lab and get to
work are you hearing
me shut your mouth you
cannot be average any longer
why because average attracts
average when I'm telling you
to be great because when
you're great you attract great
when you're average you
attract average it's not
working E.T I'm grinding E.T
I'm hustling ET is not
working listen to me very
careful you reap what you
sow don't get it twisted you
 reap what you sow so yeah
you've been studying for three
months and yeah you've been
grinding for one year and
yeah you've been hustling for
two years now and you're not
seeing what you but guess
what I told you before you've
been doing it for two years
but what were you doing the
other 30 years what were you
doing the other 21 years so it's
going to take time but listen
to me very closely if you
would get
yourself in the lab say it write
it down look at it but get in
the lab number one and start
 working on it do me a favor
don't tell me you're gonna be
on the honor roll shut up go to
work and show me show me
what you got show me and
I'm telling you some of y'all
you lying to yourself you say
you want to be great you say
you want to get to the next
level you say you want a
promotion but listen to me
very closely you talk too
much shut up get in the lab
and let's go to work deep
down inside people are not
happy with people are not
comfortable with people can't
stand average so you can't say
you want to be successful you
can't say there's certain
dreams and goals and things
you want to have and things
you want to be if you are still
average you got to get to the
point where you get allergic
to average listen to me very
closely most of you the reason
why you'll never be
successful is because you
never finish stuff you start
and you never finish in The
Day My Life changed it's a
day I walked across that stage
not because I got a degree but
I finally finished something
yup it's hard yuck it's difficult
 because the process is
weeding out the week you
might be smarter than me you
might have more resources I
mean you might but I'm
gonna get up earlier than you
and I'm gonna do it quicker
than you do it so by the time
you get up I've already
finished the race are you hear
me if you hold on everything
you dreamed of everything
you work for is coming but
you can't quit or give up
before you get it if it was easy
to do what
I'm doing everybody would
do it but let me tell you
 something I know something
about you I know you ain't
average and though you
acting like you average ain't
nothing average about you I
want to give you the
opportunity you're waiting for
everything to line up you're
waiting for all the situations
to come together perfectly
and I'm telling you you cannot
wait you got to start working
right now you got to
recognize what it means to
sacrifice what it means to be
powerful what it means to be
strong when the weakness
starts to talk to you and
 whisper sweet nothing's in
your ear you got to recognize
that there's work that must be
done this is what I do it's my
way this is your lane you
gotta murder it so we're
asking you got energy don't
play with me but I tell
when I say again you got that
energy for the next hundred
days I need to feel your soul
in this room all right I can
come on I can come on I can't
I will I must come on I don't
give yourself some energy so
come on bring yourself some
energy do you want it as
many Die look yourself in the
 eyes and say I can I will I
must oh I know you're
looking at your life and
saying oh this is not much I
know you're looking at
everything and you're waiting
for something to happen but I
promise right now you have
enough wisdom to build
Legacy right now you have
enough gifting to build
Legacy right now you have
enough relationships to build
Legacy right now you have
enough energy to build
Legacy right now you have
enough money to build
Legacy and you can't wait
 around
Us in Hope and wait for the
day everything comes
together you have to start
building Legacy right now
there are things that you have
been called to do that you
have never done and there are
things that you have been
called to do that no one on
earth has ever done that
conversation that you're
having with weakness is not
gonna build you it's not gonna
push you it's not going to lift
you you got to be responsible
you got to be capable you got
to be willing to work for what
 you want you're gonna have
days where you suck but
those days are so motivational
I mean that's the bright side of
tragedy to when you come
through it you you really will
have an appreciation for the
moments Without Tragedy
you don't really feel it unless
you you get less life Burns
you you don't
really feel it because
motivation will get you going
the speech will get you fired
up but discipline is going to
give you the power to stay
committed to whatever that
goal is you cannot ignore the
 small successes in the small
wins because you just have
your mind on I gotta win now
you might have to scratch
your calendar that's right I
know you said I gotta have
this much money by the time
I'm 23 and I gotta have I gotta
be at this place in my life by
the time I'm 34 and I gotta be
at this place in my life by the
time I'm 40 and guess what
sometimes your timeline isn't
accurate sometimes your
timeline is off sometimes
your timeline has to be
readjusted to reality and the
reality of the situation is that
 true success true greatness
takes time you are not here to
play games you
are not here to make excuses
you are not here to owe it to
someone else you need to
order to yourself because it
belongs to you this is your
moment to shine and if you're
not willing to shine then step
aside if you're not willing to
work then this is not the place
for you you got to toughen up
you got the look up you got
the build up if you want it this
is the time to go get it but you
gotta work for it you got to
believe in it you got the trust
 in it you got to let the power
folk do the things the blood is
real the blood will push you
it's gonna take you up and
over the top we stayed on the
righteous path the disciplined
path who stayed on the war
path foreign which is right
where you know the issue you
have is you [Music] ask
yourself the question where
do I want to be and where
don't I want
to be we get so wrapped up in
where we want to be that we
don't ever think about where
we don't want to be and more
than that the price that we
have to pay and the collateral
damage that takes place when
I don't get where I'm
supposed to be in the lives
that are grossly impacted by
the decisions that I'm making
it's your time to achieve
things that you thought were
impossible to achieve things
that other people thought you
could never achieve you can
do this it's not about making
excuses it's about making
adjustments tomorrow is not
promised and so stop thinking
that you gonna figure this
thing out tomorrow that you
can do it tomorrow there are
 some things that are Urgent
and there are some things that
are important and those things
that are urgent that you need
to crush that you need to
accomplish that you need to
do how you need to forgive
how you've got to shift
perspective how you've got to
rebuild bridges that you burn
because you are so upset
some of you you're not
starting for the first time some
of you you had to put it down
some of you you went into
isolation and you almost lost
your mind but you're coming
out of the darkness and you're
 coming out of the Shadow
now and you're coming out of
obscurity and you're going to
start this thing that you kept
pushing off and comfort will
no longer be your companion
because you are stepping into
the corridors of Destiny and
it's time for you to show up in
the arena of life until life I'm
here now here now tell every
person that spoke against you
every person that
walked away every person
that left you for dead and the
people that have been with
you from the beginning I'm
here and I want all of us to
win you can achieve anybody
that you look up to they are
human beings just like you
they are no different than you
and if they did it and if I did it
then yes you can too it's not
you versus them it's you
versus you stop making
excuses and make the
adjustment because you can
have what you want do what
you want be what you want
but you cannot do it if you
coming up with all these
reasons why the window of
opportunity is small it's small
all right but there's an
opportunity I need you to find
 a mirror matter of fact you
don't even need a mirror
wherever you at right now I
need you to say this out loud I
will not
lose I just need you to believe
that I just need you to receive
that because there will be dark
days there will be days that
you want to quit there will be
days that you want to give up
I need you to hear my voice
keep driving keep pushing
keep going keep growing
keep doing the things that you
gotta do but I need you to shut
down those negative voices
every time they rear they ugly
 heads until you win I know
you're tired I know you're
broken I know you're weary I
know you're sleepy I know
you've got numb I know it
seems as though there is no
hope and you can get into this
place of hopelessness and
weariness and isolation but
right where you are that some
of you can't even see the light
at the end of the tunnel but
right where you are you're
gonna
start now you got to stay
committed I don't care how
tired you get it doesn't matter
how many times you mess up
 eventually where you were a
victim you will be a Victor I
believe in you I just need you
to believe in yourself and
realize sometimes you gotta
trick yourself because there
will be many days that you do
not feel like doing what you
have to do see the resilient
mindset lives by the motto of
do it anyway empowers
through any obstacles that try
to get in its way because it
knows Next Level greatness
is right around the corner you
gotta do what you gotta do
but when it gets hard I want
you to realize you could have
 took the easy route but there
is no easy route so keep
pushing keep climbing keep
grinding keep giving all of
you to put yourself in
position to win [Music] every
day that you wake up
remember someone else did
not you are alive for a reason
[Music] your day you've got a
window you've got another 24
hours because you may not
make it to tomorrow and I'm
just wondering what's he
gonna do with the day the
reason why days often feel
meaningless and mundane is
because we are directionless
you got to get some Direction
I'm just wondering what are
you going to do in this next
24 hours that you did not do
I'm just wondering if you're
going to level up two
millimeters more than you did
yesterday are you gonna get
better are you going to get
stronger are you going to get
wiser are you going to see this
thing differently I'm just
wondering when are you
going to see the power of 24
hours
that you did not have to wake
up that God did not have to
give you another opportunity
to be here another opportunity
to forgive somebody another
opportunity to let it go
another opportunity to look
up and get up I'm just
wondering when are you
going to seize the opportunity
except where you are get
cognizant about your money
get cognizant about your
relationships where are you
mentally where are you
spiritually and emotionally
and financially and
economically are you driving
when you are destined to
drive where's your health
where's your heart let's get
aware of where we are this is
my day to read a new book
this is my day to start a
journey this is my day to
make an investment this is my
day to invest in myself this is
my day and this is
my time and it's my turn to
crush this day this is the day I
learn like I never have this is
the day I invest like I never
have this is the day I take it
seriously I got one window I
may not be here tomorrow I'm
just wondering if you're
gonna rise and see the
opportunity [Music] get up
get up get up you've got a day
 to conquer [Music] if the day
is going to be good I got to
heal from the mistakes that
were made yesterday I've got
to believe that I don't have to
make the same mistakes it's
time to heal today I heal today
I heal from every mistake that
is made today I heal from
everything that I said that I
could have said better and
everything that was said to me
that I wish was never said I
healed today from the people
that pushed me verbally but
did not support me physically
that were never present
today I heal I heal I heal I
heal from what I did not have
I heal from what I did have
that I did not want today I
heal after we heal we have to
acknowledge what went
wrong what could I have done
differently what boundaries
did I allow to be breached
relationally financially with
my investments with my
mindset where put my energy
and I didn't get anything back
turn it's like investing in a
vending machine with a sign
on it that says out of order and
I'm convinced that many of us
invest in people and places
that are just simply out of
 order and this is why we're
trained and this is why we're
tired and this is why we're
weary and well doing and this
is why the day is mundane
and it's the same old same old
Something's Gonna Change
with you I'm just
wondering if you're gonna
repeat the cycle if the
redundancy of mediocrity is
going to continue we've got
purpose and we've got
fulfillment and we've got
destiny breathing down our
necks let's accept the truth this
is the only way the day
matters is if we get aware of
 what's happening and what's
going on what has my
attention do I have the
attention span of a toddler
what's up [Music] and so once
we accept where we are we
accept that truth we got to
give ourselves time to heal we
get to learn from not only our
mistakes but learn from others
mistakes [Music] we have to
study why we fail how we fail
and we've got to ensure that
we never do it again if you're
going to win the war for the
day you're going to have to
have a high threshold for pain
you will be
 offended people will let you
down people will lie to you
places circumstances life will
unfold and unravel this life
will knock you in your mouth
because you got to stay
focused even when it's painful
even when we're ostracized
even when we're
excommunicated and ghosted
it may hurt but that pain will
subside if you do tomorrow
what you did today you will
get tomorrow what you got
today so you have a choice to
know which Step you're going
to take today you see how you
do anything how you do
everything I may be hurting I
may have pains I may have
been down but I am not out I
am getting out of this hole
and into my destiny 99 of
people are not willing to do
what it takes to make their
dreams come true and that's
just real at the center of
bringing any dream into
fruition is self-discipline it's
getting command of your
mind to be able to choose
actions that are in your own
best interest so how do we get
better every day every hour
how do we find those
resources how do we find the
 energy the knowledge to do
that long days of classes long
nights of studying projects
case studies pop quizzes and
final exams but you keep
pushing and pushing because
you know one day all of that
hard work is studying will pay
off it's not about how much
you sleep it's what you do
while you're awake every
minute has to count every
minute has to count if you
want so much because you
just don't have as many of
them as you think but you've
got to decide that I'm going to
be Fearless I refuse to be
 denied and I'm gonna go all
out I'm going to be relentless
I don't care how many no's I
encounter you can't make a
basket unless you shoot the
ball you can't hit a home run
unless you take a swing at it
most people won't even take a
swing you leave one thing and
you go to the next thing you
got the backpack mentality
you trying to pack up you
trying to do new stuff when
you have to finish doing what
you were supposed to do
before I don't know what time
you got to get up I don't know
what time you got to go to
 bed I'm not 100 sure but what
I'm telling you is you gotta
want it as bad as you want to
breathe and you can't just talk
about it right you gotta make
it happen it's about can you do
better than you did yesterday
I'm talking to that person that
keeps failing the mission I'm
talking to that person that just
wants to beat their self of
yesterday get up you got a
daily Cocker there was not a
single night I went to sleep
feeling pressure I just always
knew I could do it are you
giving 120 are you giving 70
because of what's going on at
 your school or what's going
on between you and your
principal or what's going on
between you and your peers
no listen to me as we move
forward I must ask you the
question how bad do you
want it and so we we're
dealing with real life and I get
that but we got to want this as
bad as we want to breathe I
want to get you back to 120
because we need you at 120.
back to that place where not
only you love education but
you're coming in with 120
percent your life may not look
anything like you thought it
would look right now but you
have an opportunity today
to change that in every
decision you make is either
bringing you to your destiny
or taking you from your
destiny control all delete
control yourself alter your
thinking and delete negativity
period but in order for you to
get it it's blood it's sweat is
tears you gotta put in hours
I'm hitting the book every
hour that I have I'm putting it
into that book and it's not just
about having it it's about
saying I got to do whatever I
got to do to make it work
 there is a switch inside of
every one of us and at any
moment in life you can turn
that switch from surviving to
winning today I want you to
make a decision to flip the
switch inside of you see it's
not about the blow that you
took it has everything to do
with what you build after the
blow I don't care who you are
where you're from and
what you're doing get to it get
to it I wasn't in school to learn
and many of you you're not in
life to learn the reality is if
you give up too soon if you
don't learn all the lessons that
 you're supposed to learn
you're going to keep going in
circles in life and you will
never get to where you're
supposed to get you alive you
cannot overcome until you
become you can't do better
academically until you
become a student and tell you
the first one in class until you
read every chapter you're
supposed to read before you
get to class that's right you did
the proper preparation before
you got to class all right can
you do better did yesterday
that's all I want to ask you can
you do better there are going
to be days when you're going
to be tired of being you you
don't
want to get out of bed you
don't want to talk to nobody
you don't want to think and
you got two options you can
give up or get up you could
have journals full of dreams
but if you don't count up the
cost of what it's going to take
and if you are not willing to
pay that price you cannot
have your future thank you
every year we go to the same
cycle I'm gonna eat better I'm
gonna exercise I'm gonna cut
off all negative people I'm
gonna be optimistic come on
we say all these things I'm
gonna execute execute
execute two weeks later
everything hits the fan you
study history you will find
that the men and women that
turn the world upside down
were the ones who got out of
their own way get out of the
way get out of the way get out
of your way your insecurity
has been in the way too long
your jealousy your Envy has
been in the way too long the
fear you've been wrestling
with has been in the way too
long get out of the way some
of the most Brilliant Minds of
our generation are high school
and college dropouts let me
ask you a question when are
you gonna drop out of the
mentality that you are not
enough please do yourself a
favor and dispense with the
excuses that you don't have
time it switch with the excuse
that you're not good enough
dispense with the excuse that
nobody would show up if I
build it that too many people
are better than me drop out of
the I tried it last year and it
didn't work no you didn't
work I get it I get it if we pull
up your history we'll find a lot
of Brokenness we'll find a lot
of trauma we'll find a lot of
empty
places if we pull up your
history we'll find a lot of
failures this must be the year
that you are not defined by
your history but you fulfill
your destiny why are you here
what were you placed here to
do get to work get to work get
to work you got to be willing
to do it 98 of the people in
this world are unwilling to do
you gotta differently you
gotta work differently you
gotta think differently you
 gotta talk differently you
gotta walk differently if you
walk elevation if you want
Next Level if you you want to
see this thing differently this
year everything you do has to
change first we conquer the
day and then we execute the
week and that week turns into
a month and that month turns
into a quarter and that quarter
turns into a year and then all
of a sudden you look up
and you're no longer just this
motivated on liquor you are a
disciplined desperate
dangerous fulfiller of Destiny
whatever pushed you to the
ground whatever knocked you
to the floor from that place I
want you to look it in the eye
and sell it you can't keep me
here Thomas Edison he was
fired from his first two jobs
his teachers coined him stupid
that he couldn't learn anything
this is the man who invented
the light bulb the first
thousand times he failed but it
was never a failure he just
found a thousand ways that
don't work you know Thomas
Edison you didn't try a
thousand times try a thousand
times and then come talk to
me and tell me you're not
enough tell me you don't have
what it takes tell me you're
stupid tell me you're dumb tell
me you're slow tell me you
don't have enough so you're
seeing this thing all wrong
and this is why you can't have
your future because you keep
meditating on the mess up
stop meditating on the mess
up and see yourself walking
in the Mastery of this thing
listen to me if you want your
future get up now get up get
up get up and try again try
again try again history for
many of you is insecurity
history for many of you is
 depression and anxiety and
that substance you can't shake
and that person you can't
leave history for many of you
is they're better than me
history for many of you is
nobody will show up if I build
it I don't have the time I'm not
good enough it's time to get
out of the way it is because of
you that you are not where
you want to be you are the
issue it's you your kids shoe is
you nobody has lied to
you more than you [Music]
