I don't care what you've been through. I don't care who you are. I don't care
where you came from. I don't care what your past is like, I don't care what your
stress is like, I don't care what stress you're under, I don't care what problems
you have right now, I don't care what you don't have right now, all I care about is
what your mindset is like in terms of today and your future. Are you going to
make today count? Because that's all you can control and that's all that
matters. it doesn't matter where you start guys
it doesn't matter what talents you're born with. It's about where you finish
and this race isn't over. It's not over. You can still come in first in the
marathon but you got to start today. You got to start now. You have everything, you
have everything you need is inside you. It doesn't matter what you don't have
now because you can go get it but it starts today. It starts with a commitment
it starts with the principle, it starts with the discipline, it starts with effort, it
starts with energy, it starts with an idea that you're gonna make today count
and a lot of people want to know what my routine is like. Well, it's predicated on
that idea - that I'm going to make today count and that means that before
everyone is up, I'm going to have entered a peak state already.
I'm here to help you but you have to help yourself. No one's going to do it
for you in terms of the action but you got to say something with me. "I'm going
to make this thing work. I'm going to live out my dreams. I'm going to live out
my purpose, I'm going to be who I was destined to be, I'm going to fulfill all
of the tasks necessary to live out that purpose, to become who I really want to
be. Not be who I am shackled by in the past, not live in a world of constraint."
Most people in life, they die or they retire before they see all the huge
results. Why is that? Because when they were in high school and in college they
pissed away all their time. They didn't build a great foundation and so they
never experienced what's possible to experience in life. They never
experienced that high level of satisfaction and fulfillment of being on a
sense of mission in life, of having a life purpose, of living their passions, of
having an incredible career. You have the potential to gain a lot and you have the
potential also to lose everything that you could gain. In the sense that you'll
gain it if you put in the work right now to build your foundation and you'll lose
it if you slack off and you're lazy and you don't think about your future. Then
you will not gain all this stuff and in fact your life will probably go
downwards, not upwards because you can't experience negative growth in life.
That's actually what happens with many people is that not only are they stuck
but they get more miserable, more angry, more depressed, more of a victim as life
goes on because they start to really see like, oh man I wasted my youth and all
the energy I had, and all the free time I had, I
wasted all that on partying and drinking and other stupid things. I didn't invest it
properly and now I feel like a victim and now I feel like I can't turn it
around. This is a matter of life and death. I don't know who told y'all. I
don't know who told y'all this was about math, this is about English, this is about
science, right y'all thinking why do I need math to blow up? Why do I need English
to blow up? Look this is not about, this is not about what you think it is.
This is life and death. School is about setting a foundation. Are you hear what
I'm telling you? I need you to try. I need you to try to read every single word. If
you don't know it, write it down, look it up. I need you to try to do every single
assignment. I need you to try to go to every single class, I just need you to
try because I know something about you. I know something about you. I know when you
put forth 120 percent effort it ain't nothing you can't do. It ain't nothing
you can't accomplish. I don't want you to live to die anymore. I want you to die to
live because I know if you try, I know if you put forth 120
percent effort it ain't nothing you can't do but live in a world of freedom
and that's yours to have. That's a choice that you can make. That's a decision that
you can follow through on, that you can carry out, you gotta wanna make this
thing work for you. You gotta make today count. What are you doing with your time?
Are you wasting it, are you going to make today count because it's precious or are
you gonna let it just slip away? Let it fade? You need to be in a peak
state at all times. That's gonna be predicated on your will, your intensity
your integrity, your character, your energy, your effort, to get what you want
out of this life. It's on you.
