I'm not afraid to fail
I'm not afraid to fall over, make a mistake
that often time cripples people on the onset of getting into anything
the first time I ever picked up the DJ decks was horrible
horrible now, but I'm not afraid of that, I'm not afraid of that feeling
it actually propels me and works quite the opposite
I'm like an energiser buddy, like I can do 18-22 hours a day easily
and that's crazy
and if you're watching this video right now, and if you want it as bad as I hear you want it
and if this is your year, and if 2017's gonna be your year
and if this is your moment, and if you're sick and tired and it's your time, then my friends, you need to understand that these 31 days
when you triple down, when you 4x, 5x down on your hustle while everybody's at the pool
drinking rosé, this is when you put in the grinding hours
and get ready for your master plan
it's not like I'm so super human, it's like when you see someone who's the best in the world at what they do
they're being rewarded in public for what they've practised millions of times in private
for me you know what, I believe hard work pays off
you know, when you say it's been my year, and it's my time, Hollywood has a way of
making everything seem like an overnight success
oh my God, where did this guy come from? Oh this kid, who is he? Look, he's a massive star
I've 18 years in the business
you know
you've put in your 10,000 hours
I've put in my time, you know, I've got dues that have been paid and paid again, and paid one more time after that
I stay true to my dreams, and by doing that, eventually they came true
listen y'all
we have control
of hour minute
our hour
our day
our week, our month, and our year
you got 24 hours in a day
when you go to sleep at night, how are you gonna feel about your day?
so how do you feel at the end of your night?
stop running around acting as if you don't have a choice
you do have a choice
you do have a choice!
stop playing the victim
stop running around acting as if you have nothing to do with the people, things and situations in your life
I love you, I'm tired of seeing these grown men running around acting as if they don't have a choice
you have a choice!
I've never met a person who is not successful that didn't have a great amount of self-discipline within their life
self discipline and being able to perform and being able to keep your life on schedule and being able to keep commitments and promises and meet deadlines
is essential to success
I learned many years ago that there are two kinds of people
there's the type of person that says, I'm going to wait until I feel like it before I do it
and there's a person who says I've got to do it so that I feel like it
one will never get anything done because they're still waiting to feel the moment to move
and the other person says no I need to move and then I will begin to feel the moment
self-discipline is essential in your life and in my life
if we're gonna get things done
I can tell you right now
if you talked to me and I was into football, and I was a football player
and you would have told me I'd be doing what I'm doing
I would have said no
you're crazy, leave me alone. get outta here
this is why life is, you can't predict what you're supposed to do
and I tell people, never kill yourself. Never
because you don't know what your future is, you just don't, and that's the thing it's like
for me, I never would have thought I would be doing this, but
I decided to try things
I just decided that I didn't have to do what everyone else said I needed to do, it's like
you know, when you're a football player
everyone tells you this will be the best route to do after you're done
well I decided to go another way
and people thought I would fail, I remember when I moved to LA and everybody was saying, what are you doing?
you know, you're an old football player they don't care
and, it was hard, I was actually doing security for a little while
and we went broke for a little while
the amazing thing though, as I kept trying new things, new doors kept opening
and I never thought I would be an actor, but here I am
most people's dreams have been flushed down the toilet like a decade ago
it didn't happen, they watched television, and they sleep, and then they drink on the weekend
okay, and that's most people's life
now, at a certain point what you have to do is you have to look at your life and you have to say
do I accept this?
or do I not accept it?
okay, you have to look at that
and you have to make a decision
so look at your life, now ask yourself
what direction is my life going in? like if I look at what I'm doing right now
what direction is this gonna lead me in?
how do you do it? One, obsess about what you want, right?
focus on it continuously, have so much emotion about it that you take massive action
keep changing your approach, model someone really great
and then with some grace
take some grace too
some call it luck, and some call it God
because I think when we look at the people who
achieved greatness, they weren't just kind of half-assing it
you know, they were really into mastery
of service, you know they wanted to create the best business
and they obsessed about it, they wanted to create raving fans because they obsessed about the service
aspect of it, they were out to make a great difference in the world and
do it with excellence
in life it's a very simple principle but all success comes from completing tasks
it's not from working at tasks, it's from completing tasks
it is only when you complete tasks that you are successful
