The world does not reward
mediocrity,
you know what the rest of the world wants to pay you for?
Be the best at one thing.
Whoever you're, whatever you doing,
doing with everything that you have
Develop the habit
of giving more than what you paid for.
Develop the habit of setting standards
that others will be measured by
do not go with a path may lead
but go where there's no path
and leave a trail.
Sacrifice leads
and gains follow.
Don't look for any gains where there's been no sacrifice.
Don't wake up and look for no gains,
don't look for your game to improve,
don't look for the record to improve.
Without sacrifice
there are no gains.
You can't make millions of dollars
if you don't make a million sacrifices.
If you wanna be successful,
if you wanna dominate in an area,
you gotta let everything go but that thing you're pursuing.
You can't chase two rabbits and catch both of them.
So you put your attention on one and go after it.
Champions are focused on the goal.
They don't have time to be doing stuff
that's not gonna help them toward the goal.
And so what you're focusing on
throughout the course of the day,
it has to change.
What you're looking at,
what you're reading,
what you're watching,
the conversations you have.
You must now be focused on your dreams,
you must be focused on your goals.
Don't expect people to understand you.
Don't expect it to make sense to anybody
why you've got to do this.
Why you have got to go.
"Why you leaving?
this is a good job."
I'm going.
"They pay you well."
I'm going.
"Why? I don't understand."
You don't have to.
I'm going for me.
Because I've made a different kind of commitment
with my life
This is something I have got to do.
You've got to focus on you.
You've got to convince yourself every day.
Selling yourself on your ability to perform on the job.
To achieve a certain objective.
Telling yourself every day,
here I go again.
And I got what it takes.
This is my day.
And nothing out here is going to stop me.
You got gifts, you got talents,
you got capabilities you got inventions,
you got all of these things
that you need to unleash on the world.
You don't have money,
you may not have the financial resources
but don't allow your visions and ideas to be stifled
because of what's in your bank account or not
and something inside of you
made you say
that even though I grew up in this situation,
I'm still gonna work and be a better man or a woman.
I'm still gonna do whatever I have to do to break the cycle.
I'm still gonna decide
that I love myself enough
to do better,
bigger and more significant things
