Well same advice i give to my kids man if i could get them to understand the importance of their 20s
cause man you know what i did i just blew my 20s
i ended up spending all of my 30s fixing what i messed up in my 30s
i spent all of my 40s doing what i could have been doing in my 30s i looked up man i hadn't let too
much time slip away if you could get young people to get their foot on the gas pedal in their 20s
because right now they think going out is everything and i keep telling them man you're
gonna get you gonna outgrow that in a minute cause you know like at this age it's when somebody says
hey we're going to go out to a club tonight what go out to a club are you kidding me
it don't make no sense to you now because you're over that but it takes a minute for them to
understand that man it's sad i wish they'd get it but it was i wasn't clubbing in my 20s i just
i didn't i didn't know how to make a vision board i didn't i didn't know how to
what really changed my life man was i started i got in amway when i was about 24. i got in amway
and that changed my life man because the first time ever they introduced me to self-help books
and i read two books that changed my life it was uh the power of positive
thinking by norman vincent peale and the magic of thinking big by david schwartz
i read them books and it changed my life you have to take chances in life if you don't take
chances in life you'll never have the life god has for you life is about risk if you play it safe
you won't have much of a life life is risk it takes it takes courage to pursue your dream what
you got to do to get the life that god wants you to have you got to put more air in your bubble
you got to blow your bubble up expand yourself take yourself out your comfort zone do not live
in your bubble put some more air in your bubble if you stay in your comfort zone that's where
you will fail you will fail in your comfort zone success is not a comfortable procedure
it is a very uncomfortable thing to attempt so you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable
if you ever want to be successful start putting some pressure on put some pressure on yourself
get out here and get about it look i'd love to sugarcoat this thing for you i love to tell you
look you can go out here and get rich do a couple of things damn ain't happening you gotta get real
doggish you gotta get downright funky if you wanna make it now like i was telling you before if you
wanna be ordinary you ain't even gotta listen to me just go on about your business if you think
ordinary's cool ain't no problem it's some really really wonderful ordinary people but if you are
sitting in this room and you have extraordinary aspirations then you're gonna have to do extra you
put extra on top of extra or ordinary and you come up with extraordinary it's no other way i'm sorry
but here's the fact all of you have extraordinary capabilities all of you you have to decide if you
are willing to do the things to put you in that category rich people don't sleep eight hours a day
that's a third of your life you're able 24 hours in a day you cannot be sleep eight hours a day
you can't live in l.a and wake up at eight o'clock in the morning it's 11 o'clock on the east coast
the stock market been open two hours they already making decisions about your life and your ass with
sleep quit running away from the gift your gift will make room for you stop trying to be something
you ain't gifted at listen to me all of you have this gift identify it it's the thing that you do
the absolute best with the least amount of effort that's what you should be doing you're wasting
your time pursuing your passion the bible does not mention passion it mentions your gift what
are you gifted at and do that stop tripping you can do that if you fried chicken better
than everybody you know you ought to be somewhere frying chicken if you do not have it written down
your chances of it happening is reduced drastically because it's a principle of success
you have to have everything you want written it's in the bible now you ain't got to be the
greatest christian in the world you still got to get some of these scriptures on the playing
habeka 2 and 2 it says write the vision and make it plain so that he who reads it
will run to it and even though it terry that means take a long time wait for it for surely it will
come at an appointed time write everything you want on a piece of paper everything i don't care
use your wireless imagination if you can think it you can achieve it write it on a piece of paper
read it every morning and every night come back here one year from today and see how much of that
stuff that came true that's a promise of your god that ain't no theory i come up with that's all
successful people have oprah's on tv for 30 years telling people about vision board it's very real
you have to write it if it's not written you reduce your chances greatly of it ever occurring
failure means you've now learned another valuable lesson that pushes you one step closer to success
success is hard if i could get i try to get my millennials to understand it take a long time to
make a lot of money daddy you making money you did i'm 61. it take a long time to make a lot of money
so what you have to do you have to expose yourself to things early in life your attitude determines
your altitude if you're a positive person positive things happen to you if you're a negative person
negative things are going to continue to happen for you if you can put that in your scope this
year just change your attitude wake up and smile how about just wake up and be grateful
life is really 10 percent what happens to you and 90 what you do about it
look everybody in this room everybody watching everybody got something they got to deal with
get to dealing with it stop complaining about it complaining about it only makes it stay present
do something about it don't give up when reaching your dream is difficult
listen if success were easy you've heard it a million times everybody would be successful it
requires a grit and a toughness to be successful but i got news for you it's something that all of
you have in you now whatever you've been through whatever that is guess what you're still here
i can't tell you about no education because i ain't got one i ain't got no degree in nothing
i've been told my whole life you'll never be nothing simply because of the way you talk
you know how many times i've been the way i talk man cause you know i'm kind of country i don't
really i don't really speak that good you know my my english is not eloquent i know that but
i ain't never let that stop me when i first got on tv at nbc seven years ago they sent a
a linguist to see me i didn't even know what that was i thought this lady was finna show me
how to make spaghetti or something i didn't know i never heard this what is a linguist
so the woman comes in my office and she says are we ready to begin
and i said excuse me ma'am who are you she says i'm your grammar coach i said for what
she said nbc is of the understanding in order for you to be successful on daytime tv you're going to
have to learn how to speak more eloquently i said i ain't going to do all that there
she said excuse me what did you just say i said i ain't going to do all that there she said say
what you just said to me again slowly i said i ain't fiddling do all that damn
she said that's exactly why i'm here because that is improper grammar on every level
i said yeah but that's i talked just like this here she said say that again
i said i talked just like this here she said slow that down i say i talk just like this him
you have to get fluid in the language of success so you speak it with ease surround
yourself with people who've accomplished their dreams and immerse yourself in the culture of
achievement and before you know it you're going to be speaking the life of your dreams into existence
and like i've said before we each have a gift but too many people miss out because they refuse
to sign the lease on their gift you keep looking for it outside of you stop sit with yourself what
is it that you do the absolute best with the least amount of effort that's your gift but if
you are constantly looking outside of yourself and you don't latch on to your gift you will
never find your purpose if you want to succeed you must commit to your own gift and embrace it
