how much did they first pay you to give
up on your dreams
when were you gonna stop and come back
and do what makes you happy
[Music]
I see guys who work at the same company
for their entire lives you guys exactly
like you clock in they clock out they
never have a moment of happiness
you have an opportunity
[Music]
this is a rebirth
starting at the bottom on Emily is
forever you are today everybody starts
at the bottom and there is no advantage
to starting ten years ago as a boat
starting today in fact it's better today
than it was then
you just gotta put your toe in the water
you know if you're gonna wait till you
know everything you'll never do anything
[Music]
a medium you have to work so hard to get
you know get your stuff hurt or seen and
so if you don't absolutely love it you
will burn yourself out
[Music]
if you want a great jump in the quality
of your life an extraordinary jump in
the quality of your life you got to set
yourself up to win you got to set
yourself up with a process that allows
you to consistently grow consistently
enjoy your life and consistently produce
the results that you're really after you
know you can't let anyone else tell you
who you are and how good you are based
on persistence alone you could give you
a shot
you have to be able to rise from the
failures is what makes a successful
person because everybody's gonna get me
have mishaps they're gonna fall down you
know the people that continuously pick
themselves up that are the ones that are
gonna find their voice make it whatever
you want to call it
[Music]
one of the things that really helped me
have the courage to change was that I
realized that I'm not alone
[Applause]
and you always say well I got check
somewhere I'm in doing more research so
go ahead just keep going I'm gonna go
swimming and gotta get wet
well you got to have that dream
that's what other people talk about
having a dirty well you got to have a
little bit of a dream when you start
something new it's not easy so stick
with it find our way through it
just find out an answer it works folks
this business works
[Music]
you answered the call
this is what's coming at us we've got to
figure out how to navigate this and how
to succeed and a lot of people just give
up it is through the disaster it is
through the adversity that our strength
is developed if everything went the way
you wanted it to go you wouldn't have
anything to exercise my it's it's the
gymnasium of life where you get the
workout the resistance you find out
things about yourself that you didn't
know I'm stronger than I thought I was
I'm tougher than what I thought it was
I'm all resilient than I thought it
would change happens in a moment a
breakthrough happens in a moment what is
the breakthrough a breakthrough is that
moment in time where suddenly the
impossible becomes possible not just
intellectually but you do something
about
[Music]
you know people all the time will think
it takes ten years or it took me 20
years to make a change I always say DBS
it took you a minute the minute you
finally said I quit or it's over or
let's begin or I love you or I do change
happens in a moment but most of us have
to go through a process to get to that
moment
that everything in our life changes the
moment we make a decision
I mean a real decision a decision is
when you cut off any other possibility
you commit to something with everything
you've got and you take action
don't ever let somebody else tell you
what you can't do
[Music]
when somebody else is saying something
can't be done which you got to hear them
saying as they can't do it
[Music]
I refuse to die an unlived life
[Music]
this is the time to pursue greatness but
the key is you've got to be doing
something that you're truly passionate
about
it cannot be I just want to make money
that can't be there has got to be
something that the Sun can't come up
soon enough in the morning because you
want to do your thing
baby steps count - as long as you're
going forward and one day you had all
those baby steps up in you might be
surprised at where you can get to the
cavalry ain't coming
you got to do this yourself ain't no
backup
the cavalry ain't comin
you got to do this yourself
the cavalry ain't coming
how exactly are you going to navigate
these new realities
[Music]
put another way what are you going to do
no one is supposed to live in here no
one is supposed to just spend extended
periods of time in here
[Music]
this is a public restroom this is not a
living space but were it not for this
space there were some days we would have
no place else to go
I mean a lot of decisions a lot of hard
decisions were made right here about
what are you gonna do with your life
where are you going to go how are you
going to get here you gotta have a plan
everybody's got a dream
everybody's got a goal what's the plan
and your plan has got to have something
I call the c5 complex your plan has got
to be clear concise compelling
consistent and committed you've got to
have a plan were you trying to do
something that you're truly passionate
about there is no plan B
[Music]
this is a rebirth
you
