I have spent my whole life scared
right seems that gonna happen
might happen might not happen 50 years I
spent like that I need myself awakened
to 3:00 in the morning
[Music]
you know what ever since my diagnosis I
sleep just fine my history did not have
to become my future for whatever reason
most people their associations are to
avoid anything that's uncomfortable but
it's so illogical because when you look
at comfort and you look at success in
progress and the eventual the feelings
of accomplishment and of getting past
certain hurdles and in terms of like how
you feel about life a lot of those are
connected to discomfort like discomfort
is your friend I was one who swam
against the tide of what is expected and
what is but the establishment wants from
us I began to see the possibilities of
not being where I was
I can't realize it's that fear that's
the worst of it that's the real waste
then I will put both of my feet in the
ground and I will stand my something
because if I don't stand for something
I'll fall for anything
if you live your life just acting
constantly on the momentum of other
people's expectations of you wanting to
be liked by these other people so get up
get up
[Music]
is team we're gonna come
inch by inch play by play we're finished
[Music]
you are going to incur incur a lot of
disappointment a lot of failure a lot of
pain a lot of setbacks a lot of defeats
but in the process of doing that you
will discover some things about yourself
that you don't know right now what you
will realize is that you have greatness
within you what you'll realize is that
you're more powerful than you can ever
begin to imagine what you will realize
is that you're greater than your
circumstances that you don't have to go
through life being a victim was born in
Miami Florida the area called Liberty
City in an abandoned building on a
hardened Olien floor someone's opinion
of you does not have to become your
reality
