I've found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks.
Nothing.
Nelson Mandela said there is no passion to be found playing small and settling for a
life that's less than the one you're capable of living.
Reggie Jackson struck out 2600 times in his career.
The most in the history of baseball.
But you don't hear about the strikeouts.
People remember the homeruns.
Thomas Edison conducted one thousand failed experiments because the one thousand and first
was the lightbulb.
Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.
You will fail at some point in your life.
Accept it.
You will lose.
You will embarrass yourself you will suck at something.
I'm telling you.
Embrace it.
Because its inevitable.
Fail big.
That's right.
Fail big.
You only live once so do what you feel passionate about.
Take chances.
Don't be afraid to fail.
There's an old IQ test was 9 dots.
And you had to draw 5 lines with a pencil without lifting the pencil.
The only way to do it was to go outside the box.
So don't be afraid to go outside the box.
Don't be afraid to fail big.
To dream big.
But remember, dreams without goals are just dreams.
And they ultimately fuel disappointment.
So have dreams but have goals.
Life goals.
Yearly goals.
Monthly goals.
Daily goals.
And understand in order to achieve your goals you must apply discipline and consistency.
Everyday.
Not just on Tuesday and miss a few days.
You have to work at it.
Everyday you have to plan.
Everyday.
You've heard the saying we don't plan to fail, we fail to plan.
Hard work works.
Working really hard is what successful people do.
Remember just because you're doing a lot more, doesn't mean you're getting a lot more done.
Don't confuse movement with progress.
My mother told me she said yeah cause can run in places all the time and never get anywhere.
So continue to strive continue to have goals continue to progress.
So never give up.
Without commitment you'll never start.
But more importantly, without consistency, you'll never finish.
Its not easy.
Keep working keep striving.
Never give up.
Fall down seven times get up eight.
Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship.
Say thank you and advance for what is already yours.
True desire in the heart for anything good, is God's proof to you sent beforehand to indicate
that its yours already.
I'll say it again.
True desire in the heart, that itch that you have whatever it is you wanna do.
That thing you wanna do to help others and to grow and to make money, that desire that
itch, that's God's proof to you sent beforehand already to indicate that its yours.
And anything you want good, you can have.
So claim it.
Work hard to get it.
When you get it reach back, pull someone else up.
Each one teach one.
Don't just aspire to make a living.
Aspire to make a difference.
There's an old saying.
You hang around the barbershop long enough sooner or later you're gonna get a haircut.
So you will catch a break and I did catch a break.
If you don't fail, you're not even trying.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.
You gotta get out there.
you gotta give it everything you got, whether its your time, your talent, your prayers or
your treasures.
Alright now here's my last point about failure.
Sometimes its the best way to figure out where you're going.
Your life will never be a straight path.
Never be discouraged.
Never hold back.
Give it everything you've got.
And when you fall throughout life, remember this.
Fall forward.
