Most people are not living their dreams because of fear, ladies and gentlemen.
fear is the most subtle and destructive
of all human diseases. Fear
kills dreams. Fear kills hope.
Fear put people in the hospital.
Fear can age you. Fear, ladies and gentlemen
can hold you back from doing something that you know within yourself
that you're capable of doing but it will paralyze you.
And I ask you a question what is the benefit?
What's the benefit of allowing fear to hold you back?
What's the benefit of giving up on yourself?
If not stepping out on life and taking life on?
What is the benefit for you? What's the plus in that?
You've got to ask yourself
how long am I going to allow this to hold me back?
You cannot let your fear hold you back from your destiny.
You have to feel the fear and do it
anyway. Do it broke
do it scared do it nervous
do it trembling do it on your knees
do it with help do it on crutches
do it in a wheelchair because
you don't want to end up in a nursing home sitting on a bedpan wondering
what would've happened if you'd only had more courage.
You don't want to end up in an old folks home and you're dying thought is
I wish i hadda. You don't have as many opportunities in life
to take a gamble and allow life to play you
you must play life. You've got to make some conscious effort
to begin to work to develop you. Start listening to tapes on a daily basis
to begin to recondition your mind to re-train your thinking.
Listen to things that can empower you that can enable you to create
a new reality for yourself and a new life for yourself.
You might appear to be strange around most people.
Don't expect it to make sense to anybody why you've got to do this.
Why you have got to go. "why? I don't understand."
you don't have to. I'm going for me.
This is something I have got to do. Now, will it be turbulent?
Yes. Will it be easy?
No. will you have some opposition?
Yes. Will I make a lot of mistakes?
Yes. Will I get hurt?
Yes. But guess what?
There's no gain without pain.
How do you stay in the race Les when you've lost your money
lost your car had no place to stay
and sleeping at people's houses on their floor
on the couch? How do you handle the times
when you're borrowing money and couldn't pay it back?
You felt humiliated. When people you love
who didn't believe in you and told you you ain't nothing.
How do you keep on coming back again and again? Or you've lost your business
or lost your job I lost your home
and you've been completely devastated? How do you come back?
Oh, let me tell you something it's possible.
The greatest achievement of somebody comes right after their worst defeat.
When they've hit rock bottom hit the bottom of the barrel
they got nothing left. Everyone is given up on them.
They're dead broke on their back. They're just now left
with the intestinal fortitude the pride within
do I want to stay on the bottom of this barrel or do I climb the f*ck out of this hole?
It's at that point when everything's lost that everything can be gained.
You've got to remind yourself I know I got what it takes
to do this. And it's necessary that you go at it
with everything in you pulling deep down within
challenging yourself. Once you have that belief
that it's so strong that it overrides the crowd's disbelief
the adversities, anything you welcome that sh*t
because that right there is supposed to f*cking happen.
Because without that kind of abuse on you you will not become
the battle tested proven champion that holds the title
that has the value of the title. You must go through those ends.
Hit rock bottom. Your worst hour of despair
becomes your best as you get back up you learn from that.
And you continue to put one foot in front of the other.
Because what you're going for is what you believe.
