20-19 is stacking up to be the year of
the underdog the boxing world was shaken
up as the heavyweight giant Anthony
Joshua was dethroned by a last-minute
call in a fighter who nearly 99% of
people doubted he could win before the
fight
25 to 1 odds at the bookies bullied in
high school for being overweight called
in to fight the world champion just one
month before the fight people may doubt
you but never doubt yourself
prove them wrong Ruez said the people
who are doubting me will become my fans
he never doubted himself he came away
with the win and one of history's
biggest shock wins a lot of people may
doubt you a lot of people may count you
out some of them may want you to fail
some may hate on you or speak bad of you
but you know who else was doubted
Michael Jordan he was cut from his high
school team Steve Jobs was laughed at
Jack Ma was rejected from jobs Stephen
King's first novel was rejected 30 times
people don't want to see you succeed
because if you can do it then they have
no excuse for themselves
just know you are among good company in
the people who have been doubted before
did you think I need to pack this in
there why not
I don't ever give up I mean I'd have to
be dead or living [ __ ]
[Music]
life is one big tug-of-war and a lot of
times you can pull yourself through life
this morning I did not want to get up
don't let your past shackle your future
we are all going through hard times hard
times come when you least expect it
don't let the pain of yesterday ruin the
chance of happiness someday we are all
able to push pass unimaginable pain
throughout your day you will have things
that will be out of your control
mistakes will happen but don't let this
take over your day and especially don't
let it take over the next day
think about what happened how and why it
went wrong and then move on the day you
choose can be solely determined by you
and your ability to control your mood I
look at a day in one hour chunks this
way if I have a bad hour it will not
affect the other hours of that day you
can control your time so that your time
doesn't control you why allow one bad
moment in your life determine your
future the most powerful people in the
world use their time wisely for things
that matter they realize that time is
valuable at Amazon they have business
plans that are 5 to 10 years ahead of
schedule they control their time and
that is why they are one of the most
successful companies ever to exist
don't let yesterday take up too much of
today
except where you are and the
responsibility that you're going to take
yourself where you want to go so once
that we have two primary choices in life
we can either accept conditions as they
exist or we can take the responsibility
to change them see a lot of people want
to exempt themselves from taking
responsibility all they want to do is
talk about the problem every time you
see them they'll tell you their story
over and over and over and over again no
no you want to take responsibility for
your life
I got me here I can get me out of this
and I'm getting out I'm not going to be
a volunteer victim George Bernard Shaw
said there two kinds of people in life
you know he said those that make things
happen those that watch things happen
and those that don't know what happened
so part of beginning to get unstuck
you've got to decide that the behavior
pattern that you have adopted doesn't
work for you you've got to change your
strategies and changing your strategy
means reinventing your life recreating
you and you have the power to do that
you can decide that you're going to
stand up to life
you can you have the power to make that
decision
you can decide I'm gonna work on myself
and develop myself I'm going to empower
me your times with anything that can
happen will happen
Murphy's Law will be knocking at your
door what I don't know what that's
called life
and you have to deal with it sometimes
your life will be in a slump just like
sports some of the best shooters can't
hit baskets different times and games
they get in a slump do they sit on the
sidelines and say you're not just into
the basket today
no they continue to execute I suggest to
you that if you are facing a challenge
don't stop
stay busy work your plan continue to do
those things that you know that work for
you after you have evaluated yourself in
the situation
[Applause]
so there's a lot of scars we have on our
bodies that people can see and they tell
a story but lavas have scars in their
brains
[Music]
the more and more I got into that run
I'm trying to gain a more and more
confidence bad childhood
bad adulthood those scars in your brain
we won't talk about we high scarring
it's proof that our past is real but the
one thing we do is we allowed to control
our lives and we get off the log well
time to get back on the log
sometimes you got fight pain but pain
stay hard you gotta be willing to find
the confidence stay in the fight stay in
the war stay in the battle armor your
mind you can break physically you can
break mentally you can break your heart
you can break your spirit and none of
those are fun and all of those are gonna
leave a mark but the mark that they
leave and be the mark of victory or it
can be the mark of defeat I've been
cheating myself in my family wherever
you are whatever you're doing do it with
everything that you have develop the
habit of giving more than what you're
paid for develop the habit of setting
standards that others will be measured
by someone said do not go where the path
may lead but go where there's no path
and leave a trail because every time you
break it in every way that you break wow
it's a chance it's definitely a chance
for you to give up and for you to just
to fall apart you are going to encourage
incur a lot of disappointment a lot of
failure a lot of pain a lot of setbacks
a lot of defeats but in a process of
doing that
you will discover some things about
yourself that you don't know right now
what you will realize is that you have
greatness within you what you'll realize
is that you're more powerful than you
can ever begin to imagine but there's
also opportunity there's opportunity to
get stronger and get smarter and get
faster and get tougher and get more
stable and get more resilient and get
better in fact if you break the fight is
just beginning and as you crawl up and
out of that dismal and wretched place
covered and you're covered in blood and
sweat and dirt and filth as you rise
above what you were and as you take the
form of of who you are supposed to be
you will see that in the very act of
standing up in the very act of fighting
on you will become and you will remain
you've got to focus on you and as you
convince you as you sell yourself every
day every day every day you will begin
to see a difference in the things that
you're doing selling yourself on your
ability to perform a job to achieve a
certain objective telling yourself every
day here go again and I got what it
takes this is my day and nothing out
here is going to stop me
