Study strategy over the years
and achieve the spirit
of the warrior.
Today is a victory
over yourself of yesterday.
Tomorrow is your victory
over lesser men.
There is a student mentality in all of us
that must be tapped into
A student is resilient.
A student is disciplined.
It is only through discipline
that you will experience
the freedom
of a warrior.
A student never surrenders.
See, the strategy is the plan.
The strategy, the game plan,
the plan of action,
the recipe,
the how
must be studied
before the first step is taken.
I am convinced that so many of us lose
because of what we were not willing to study,
we must grow in discipline
to deliberately investigate
what we are getting ready to enter into.
We must be calculated as we enter
into new seasons, into new relationships.
This is the road to becoming a warrior.
An experienced, skilled and calculated soldier.
A fighter, a game changer,
somebody who refuses to stay down.
This is somebody who is set apart
from those who operate in the realm of normalcy.
This is somebody who is above and beyond,
we got a bit of a work ethic to go after it.
A student is a disciple and a disciple is disciplined.
Disciplined to achieve the spirit of the warrior.
They are perfectly positioned for victory, daily.
Discipline is an invitation out of normalcy.
A man who studies is a man who is allergic to average.
See you are a warrior and you don't even know it.
Take a deep breath.
Inhale
and exhale.
Inhale,
and exhale.
After today,
everything is about to change.
Because change starts with you.
To understand this is to know the difference between men
and lions.
You must understand
that there is more than one path
to the top of the mountain.
And in this very moment,
all you have is all you need.
See, somebody lied to you
and told you
that life
is about acquiring more
to move forward.
What if I told you
that getting to the top of the mountain
was not about acquiring more,
but about becoming more.
That if you can become
then you will find your authentic path
to the top.
Everybody wants to go to the top.
But nobody wants to discover new ways to climb there.
Find your authenticity,
discover your identity.
We're all told,
you want to get to the top
follow the leader
but that is a broken mentality.
Yes, leaders are necessary
but we must be fully aware
when we have been called
to lead.
To blaze our own trail
to discover a new way
is daunting.
It's exhausting
to get to the top,
but there was more than one way
and you will discover that way
by not acquiring.
So it is not the more that you get,
the faster you will go,
it is the more you become,
the quicker you will elevate.
And so getting to the top of the mountain has more to do with becoming
than acquiring.
What is your mountain?
What is your trial?
Who is the giant standing in front of you?
Name it
and defeat it.
The climb
is just as important as the arrival.
The top is the end game
but the process
is what will make you.
Think lightly of yourself
and deeply of this world.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone,
at the end of your ego,
and your insecurities.
But when you come to the end of yourself,
and the beginning of the understanding
of our world,
why we're here
And what is our purpose
Then all of a sudden, everything changes.
Think lightly of yourself
and deeply of the world.
The world is vast,
over 7.5 billion people
walk the face of this planet.
There is so much here.
Creation,
the antelope,
the trees,
the mountains,
the stars,
people
from every nation,
in every tongue.
And we have economy,
we have industry.
We have technology.
We are more advanced than ever before.
So take a moment
and agree never to self sabotage yourself.
No more self condemnation,
that you cease to see the opportunities in this world.
How beautiful
our planet is.
To think lightly of yourself and deeply of this world
is an invitation out of your ego,
out of your insecurities,
out of what you think you cannot do.
It is to look beyond your program.
It is to think of your legacy,
it is to think of what you will leave behind,
it is to think of your contribution and your impact,
even in this moment,
in the midst of trial,
in the midst of tribulation,
ask yourself the question,
what can I contribute?
You see, conflict is necessary.
Trial is, is needed.
It causes us to create,
to be proactive,
to be inventive.
It moves us
to become pioneers.
What type of mark will you leave in the earth?
What will be your legacy?
Man has always been haunted
by the vastness of eternity.
And so we ask ourselves,
when we are long gone
will our names remain?
