So,
you sort of put a mask on your face
and you go home and lay in your bed
when no one's looking at you,
and you don't have to impress anybody,
and you're yourself.
And fear comes in.
Maybe you don't know for sure
what's going to be happening in the future.
And it scares you.
Just that fear paralyzes you.
And I just want to ask you today.
Do you think you have hope?
Do you want to be a person who
fears failure or do you want to
be a person who loves success?
Which one you're going to have to pick today?
And I'll tell you one thing.
One is a failure and one is a success.
And if you love success, there
is nothing that can stop you.
All those negative things.
People say will mean nothing.
You see, if you don't have a vision of where you're going
And if you don't have a goal where you go
you drift around and you never end up anywhere.
So what's it going to be today?
Will you sleep?
Oh, will you leap?
Will you take that leap of faith?
Will you jump?
Will you put yourself in a position
to land softly on your bed of dreams?
You're talented
You just don't want to give up sleep
Listen to me.

Whatever you do
I guarantee you, when you do it,
nobody can do it like you do it.
The problem is you don't hardly do it.
The mind
is a powerful weapon
It belongs to you!
And everything that you think
therefore, you shall be!
BE GREATER
than your FEARS
BE STRONGER
than your DOUBTS.
Because your mind
is very powerful.
This is the day you make up in your mind
where I will take the throne.
I'm talking to that person
that is acquainted with pain.
I'm talking to the person
that knows what it's like to come from nothing.
And so you literally have nothing to lose.
And the only thing that's in your hand
is a DREAM
Every single one of you who are struggling right now,
You need to understand this.
What you're going through right now is necessary.
We all fall down in life.
It's not the potential of the individual.
It's not the genetic,
It's a perseverance.
The never say die attitude.
The question is who gets back up ?
and all I can tell you is,
you know how I got to be who I am.
This is what I've learned about
Life isn't meant for you to always be happy.
It's meant for you to go through things
It's meant for you to evolve
and elevate yourself as a person.
Things that happen bad in your life
are not who you are.
It's the reaction to those bad things
that really makes you who you are.
Outcome changes and it's not where we want it to be.
And it doesn't turn out the way we want it to turn out
Do we still value the thing that we once said we value?
Is our character still intact?
Characters is not something we inherit
In the midst of opposition
In the midst of challenges.
In the midst of uncertainty,
we gotta wake up every single day,
We got to fight and we gotta build it
Work on your focus.
You cannot stop.
You got to 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.
There will be times when you will feel alone,
when you'll feel deserted,
When you'll feel weak and you doubt yourself
and other people will doubt you
and you ask yourself, am I crazy?
Maybe I don't have what it takes.
But I'll tell you something.
Wouldn't it be a shame
for you to stop
when you've come this far?
Everybody at one point in time in your life
To be successful, you have to jump
Jumping is the hardest thing for people to do,
but you have to jump.
It starts with the jump.
You have to jump, man.
It doesn't matter to me any longer how long I live,
what matters to me most is how I live
Every day ask yourself that question, "How you livin'"?
that you would not judge,
that you would show up early
that you'd be kind
that if you're going to do something,
you do it the right way,
that it's never wrong to do the right thing,
that how you do anything
is how you do everything.
See sometimes we can't say I can do that,
but what we can say that it's possible
that I could have my dream
as we run toward it, as we work on a day in and day out.
If you are going to have the mindset
and you're going to have the legacy that's going to last
the legacy where you can pass something down
to your children's children's children.
It is going to take time.
There's a story my father told me,
he said every morning
that arises a gazelle
that realizes that he was running faster than the fastest lion
or he would die that day
on that same desert
arises in the morning, a lion
that realizes that he must run faster
or he will starve
No matter who you is
When you wake up in the morning,
you needs to be running.
Dream was sewn in your heart for a reason
that dream was given to you to protect
that dream was given to you to create
that dream was given to you to fulfill.
So my friends believe in yourself,
believe in your dreams,
put your dreams out there, do the hard work
because you deserve to see them out in the real world,
but you won't if you don't start working at them every single day.
Number one in your life's blueprint should be
a deep belief
in your own dignity, your own worth, and your own somebody
Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you are nobody
