How easy and how convenient is it
for us to blame everything and everybody
for the things that we have going on in our lives.
There is a such thing
as you being a positive and a great person
with the best of intentions towards everybody
and sh*t is rough and you just can't get a break
but most of you
most of you
are waking up every day
looking for pain, dysfunction, drama, unemployment,
being broke, struggling,
dropping every excuse in the book about your childhood
and the problems and dysfunction
that you grew up in
that's stopping you from becoming successful.
The excuses are not valid.
They are
they're conjured up
They're fabricated
they're lies.
They are lies all of them.
"You don't have time."
That's a lie.
"You don't have support."
That's a lie.
"You don't have the equipment
or the gear"
Lies
You don't know the best way?
Who cares?
That's a lie.
and there's you're too busy.
Sure you are lies.
We have all these new thoughts that come about,
you start saying to yourself,
I'm so alone. Nobody understands me
nobody gets me.
I'm the only one to ever go through something like this.
I'm a mess up. I'm a failure.
I'd be better off not being here.
Nobody would miss me.
I'm all alone right now.
Why would anybody care if I was gone?
Here I am, I'm just alone.
And we just keep feeding ourselves this toxic thinking.
And literally what I've learned in these moments of anxiety
is that I have to stop listening to myself
and I have to start talking to myself.
When you're going after your dreams.
And you're going after your goals,
there will be people,
there will be things that you will have to overcome.
The battle has just started
that very moment you feel like giving up
is when you must think to yourself,
why am I doing this?
And then you will realize
that you can't give up.
It doesn't matter about what happens to you,
what matters is
what are you gonna do about it?
When you leave, what you fighting for?
What's your legacy?
What you gonna do?
You say you a champ,
but do you practice like a champ?
You say you a champ,
do you fight like a champ?
You say you a champ,
do you have the mentality of a champ?
You must build a mindset for success,
a mindset that can endure pain and struggle,
because they will come.
Let me tell you something,
my greatest moments didn't come from my greatest moments.
My greatest moments came from my greatest defeats.
Because it was during my defeat
that I had to find a way to get back up.
