This it kind of hard to understand but
sometimes you can try so hard at
something, sometimes you can be so... so
prepared and still fail and when every time
you fail it's painful and causes sadness.
And especially as I saw last night, it causes
disappointment.
I've often said a man's character is not
judged after he celebrates a victory but
about what he does when his back is
against the wall. So no matter how great
the setback,
how severe the failure, you never
give up. You never give up. You pick
yourself up, you brush yourself off, you
push forward, you move on.
Everybody here, everyone thats watching, I
won't be stopped! I can't be stopped!
You're either committed or you aren't.
You're either willing to do everything it
takes whatever that might be or you
aren't. You either are willing to go
through hell and high water and fire and
fucking brimstone to get to your goals
or you aren't. And that's why you'll never
be what you wanna be. That's why you'll
never have what you want to have.
That's why you will never accomplish it, well, you
are all over the place. Success guys is a very
very lonely road, man. Along that road
you're not going to see too many friends.
You're going to see your shadow most often. You gotta trust in the heart of hearts.
Decide what you're doing, what you believe in, is it a worthy cause
and win every fight.
I wish I could tell you you're tired, go take a
break. I wish I could tell you you're tired,
rest for a year. I wish I could tell you
that that it's going to get easier. I wish
I could tell you it's going to get easier. I
wish I could tell you that if you just
keep going and it's going to get lighter but the
wait, the wait is gonna get lighter. I wish I
could tell you, you get to the point
where enough is enough when you get to the
point where it hurts real bad, when you get to
the point when it's over, when they're
tired, when they're frustrated, when
they're ready to give up, when they spent
their last dime that's when they get
started but what you cannot do is you
cannot quit doing the process you cannot
give up because it ain't what you see
you cannot give up. Work on yourself, work
on your focus, you cannot stop you gotta
work. The problem with you is you see
difficult as something negative I want
you to see difficult differently. Are
you hearing me? I need you to push
through that stuff. Push through it. You
can get through it. The more you go
through the more difficult it is, the
more challenging it is, listen to me, the
harder it is. Are you hearing me? The more
challenging it is all you doing baby is
building muscles. In life you're either going
to a store, in a store, or you coming out.
It's a part of life there's no way
around it so just be careful not to
allow the trials and the tribulations to
consume you.
I don't care if you a billionaire I don't care
if you a CEO of one of the most important companies
I don't care if you an entertainer, like I
don't care who you are. You will go to
the moon we all have problems what I'm
trying to tell you is this though
problems are a part of life but guess what
they're not like it's not going to be
easy. There are moments when you're going to
doubt yourself. The rough times are going
to come but they have not come to stay
no matter how bad it is or how bad it
gets you've got to make it your personal
business to make it happen.
I've noticed something. Deep down inside
of us there lies a bright light a light
that feels so dim when we're
surrounded by darkness when all we feel
is hopelessness and shame and stress and
this darkness seems to overpower any
light that may be there and it feels
like there is no hope there is no light
at the end of the tunnel. Feels like our
lives are just over. It's through. But
that's not true because deep down inside
there is a beautiful light there is a
beautiful light that will liberate your
mind that will liberate your free soul
that will take you to a new level in
life
but by that light surrounded by that
light is the darkness of your past, the
shame, the regret, the guilt, the worry. Deep
down inside you have to dig deep down
inside of yourself and you're going to
have to look that darkness in its eyes and
not look away from the darkness but
rather look straight in the eyes and say
I no longer need you I am no longer that
darkness and so that darkness will not
thrive it will not survive that darkness
will die. That darkness will go away not
because you forced it out but because
you no longer fear the darkness you let
go, you let go of the darkness. Free up
space for the light and when the light gains
power when the light regains its power it
will overpower any darkness that may try
to seep, and seek into your mind and
body and life it will stride far greater
than any darkness has
but you must free yourself from the
dark by going deep into the depths of it
and understanding it. By not running your
entire life from it but instead right
now, today, tomorrow, soon, look it in the eyes
and say I no longer fear you I have a
light to live. Nothing is hopeless nothing is
worthless I am powerful I am beautiful I
am amazing and it's time for me to start
believing it. No longer do I want to stay
in the same routine, stay in the same
mindset, the same condition, mind I want
to release the power of my mind I want
to dive deep into the depths of the
light, into the depths of inner peace
into the depths of joy and happiness and
the state of being not into the depths of
worry and stress and depression and
anxiety and shame and guilt but stay
away not because I'm scared of it but
because I'm free from it, because I no longer need it,
because I have one life and I'm going
to live it to my fullest
ability.
I just knew in my heart to just go, go
all into this endeavor, and so I went. No
questions asked and it wasn't a
picnic. The rise up is tough
but it's who you become in the process when
you're chasing this unknown, when you
eliminate fears and so my offering is to
really analyze what you love to do and
to go chase it because making money
should not be your focus. To do something
that you don't really love to make money,
what is that? That's, all that is, is a
transference of stress you are taking on
stress at this job that you don't like
this is stressful for you so that you
have less stress when it comes to
finances. So is that eliminating the stress?
No. You're transferring it from finances
to eat at a little better place, to live in
a little better apartment to then
develop more stress while you're at work.
Does that make sense? The money will come
when you're really good at something i
can guarantee it. When you really have an
effect because that will create a
polarizing reaction in people that they
will be drawn to you and you cannot be
really good at something if you don't
love what you're doing that's the bottom
line. Chase this uncertainty where your
heart is telling you to go because it
knows that it will discover itself if
you choose to go down this ambiguity if
you choose to go unfold this mystery
because you will discover what you're
really made of if you choose to go down
this abyss.
