A lot of people talking about what they're gonna do but how many of y'all
today are gonna decide to do it? I want you to write in the land of the blind
the one-eyed man is king. I'm a king. Are you a king or a queen? I'm just asking.
Are you in the gym, are you doing anything to walk towards your goals of
being in shape, more focused, getting an a-plus on those tests, are you training
as hard as you know you're supposed to be training to make the team or stay on
the team? You worked your ass off, you got up at 6 a.m. in the morning, you decided
to stay in your college dorm and not party, drink, smoke and get high, you
decided to focus and get away from all of the distractions so that you can pass
that bar exam and that test, you decided to focus so that you can get a high test
grade on your SAT scores and end up going to college, to state, play sports
football, basketball or anything that your college degrees allows you to do
and become. You decided to focus and get it done. You sacrifice all of the fun, the
perks and all of the fun shit you could have been doing because you were that
focused on getting out of your own way and breaking the cycle, breaking the devil
cycle of your own family and your surroundings.
I decided to love myself enough to want better, desire better and
seek better and move in the direction of something better. What is the next level of you? Are you
done, are you done evolving? That shit that you accomplished
was five years ago, it's over. You're still alive, you getting on your knees
every night and you praying but then you're getting off of your knees and ain't
doing shit. You can't get points today for yesterday's game. I don't give a crap how
much money is in my account, I'm gonna make a statement every day.
I want to become the things that I see. Go get it. If you got a problem with your life and your
career, stop complaining about it. You spend so much time on your knees, your
knees are bleeding. Get up off your knees and do the work. There is more to do. I
don't care how much money I have in my pocket, I'm trying to be significant. Does
anybody know how much money was in Martin Luther King's bank account? How
much did Nelson Mandela have in his bank account before he died? He was
significant, he made a statement, he lived his life with a sense of purpose. He was
selfless, he wanted to make a difference in everybody's life and everybody he
ever came in contact with. I refuse to be another man that lived
and died and wasn't significant, period. I love you, I repeat I love you. If no one
has ever told you this, if no one told you this today, this week,
this month, this year or this very second I want you to know I love you and I also
want you to know that the fact that you're still alive and still on this
earth even though it's been challenging and rough and sometimes you get
discouraged and uninspired to keep going, God has a plan. You will grow through
what you go through. Everything that you're going through at some point, it makes no sense to you
right now but at some point God is gonna reveal to you why all of these issues
challenges and problems continue to show up and what you were supposed to learn
from it. You will grow through what you go through. It's time to do something
significant. It's time to get up. It's time to get back into being significant.
Just woke up. You gotta do what you gotta do. What are you gonna do today to walk
towards your goal? I'm just curious. I'm curious how many text messages are gonna
come through today, where you respond and
end up connecting with that person that can take you off your path. How much time
and energy you're gonna dedicate to your gift and your talent or your goal?
How committed are you to producing results? If you don't know, now you know.
It's true. When you're ready to do something and try something new that's out of your
comfort zone, that's out of your norm it's always the one you're dating, the
one you're married to, the one that's in your family, your friends in your
immediate circle that will always try and talk you out of doing something
special and significant.
Do you know how many people have had visions, ideas and huge career moves that they were about
to make and they allowed the word no to stop them? Boldly walk into the room
with your head held up high and if they
don't get it, laugh about it. Don't disown your ideas because they're disowning
your ideas, don't lose confidence in your ideas because they don't have confidence
in your ideas, don't be afraid to walk into the unfamiliar, don't be afraid to
do what's deep inside of you to do. You got gifts, you got talents, you got
capabilities you got inventions, you got all of these things that you need to unleash on the
world. You don't have money, you may not have the financial resources but don't
allow your visions and ideas to be stifled because of what's in your bank
account or not and something inside of you made you say that even though I grew
up in this situation, I'm still gonna work and be a better man or a woman. I'm
still gonna do whatever I have to do to break the cycle. I'm still gonna decide
that I love myself enough to do better, bigger and more significant
things
but it takes a very strong-minded person to decide that because I was born into this
doesn't mean that this is gonna define the outcome of what my life and purpose
on this earth is destined to be. I see what's not there. I have visions. My
visions are bold and unapologetic. You know, they say you gotta think out of the
box. In my mind there is no box. To have ideas and visions and dreams and then to
do any means necessary to see to it that the vision come to life, only those that
can see the invisible can do the impossible and then there's even more power to be
able to see what doesn't exist and then to be able to articulate and verbalize
it. Just keeping your minds and your spirits open to the possibilities, I'm
telling you stop being afraid of the unfamiliar.
