stop giving 70 stop giving 80 stop giving 90 and you deserve to see what
would happen if you gave 120 percent all right all right so a couple things I
need to do on this 21 day challenge right the first thing I need you to do for me
is I need you to have a vision I need you to have a vision of when you
get to that 21 game what do you want what do you want to happen after that 21
days what what is dying in your life look right now what is does mediocrity look
like in your life look what does defeat look like in your life what are
limitations what do boundaries look like in your life in 21 days this won't look
like it my marriage won't look like this my grades won't look like this are you hearing me
we're going to be better as a team
our outcomes are going 21 days I challenge you 21 days so first cast a
vision what would your life look like after those 21 days listen to me do me a
huge favor 21 days do it right or don't do it yep
you heard what I said for the next 21 days do it right or don't do it,stop half
doing stuff stop putting forth fifty percent effort 60 percent look stop do it
right or just don't do it at all are you hearing me do it right
When I started doing it right that second book greatness is upon look through it
I did it right I wasn't just writing a book I did it right
if you're a kinetic learner listen to me very closely if you got a touch stuff
I put it in there I went with the whole thing guys all right I just didnt go
half doing it look through the book the artwork is in there, the work stuff
is in there so you can work it through, everything is in there I didn't half do it
I did it right look at our videos we don't half do them, they're free but we don't
half do them, number 2, do it right or don't do it at all
Number 3 listen to me no excuses only adjustments
no excuses I don't want to hear It I don't
want to hear good excuses, good reasons what happened why you couldn't do it I
don't want to hear I don't know everybody got an excuse I don't want to
hear I don't want to hear anything about this happening the weather wasn't right
it might not get the finances and this didn't come through when it was supposed to, well that
person is no no no no no no
Three things guys
Number 1: Cast a vision, 21 days so when you get tired you can keep looking at that vision
do it right or do not do it at all are you hearing me
And finally guys no excuses just adjustment
Your dream will not become a reality until you shift from not important
somewhat important to very important to an emergency
you know i had forever to do it
I had to forgive my father and you know what happened was so crazy
when I forgave my father had nothing to do with my father
it had everything to do with learning to forgive and I was speaking one thing
and I was living something else I was traveling across the country telling
people about you know forgiveness and I wasn't doing it
You got to do me a favor
when you get hit I never forget first time as a boy they stole
my green machine my mama bought me a green machine and these two boys on the block
they stole my green machine I was pissed they bust me I was bleeding
and you know what my mom told me
Don't come into this house until you get that machine
I paid a lot of money for that big wheel son
I don't care what you have to do like for real I'm bleeding I'm looking for the hole
love me, hold me, help me, you know
Mum was like go back out there and get that thing boy, you know how much that thing cost
Mum said, listen to me I love you but do me a huge favour
don't come back to this house without that big whip
I remember thinking mehn these boys one of them huge
I remember walking on the street I saw a bottle
I picked the bottle up boom hit it against the concrete and I said I
can't come home without the bike
I went and told my man i got to have my bike
he said you cant have the bike
I cant beat both of ya'll I know I can't I don't know which one of y'all want to
be brave and get cut but one of y'all getting cut now y'all want to commune
with one another talking about who is going to get cut ya'll can do that I'm alright with that
but I'm not coming home without the green machine and I came home
with my green machine and I rode that thing like I think I was so proud
Some of you have been knocked out by life and
you got up and saw the blood
Sometimes in life you have to hit back it's not
always gonna be easy they're not gonna give it to you they're not going to give
you success they're not gonna put it on the platter but if you're willing to
work for it if you're willing to put the sweat the blood the tears if you're willing to earn it
they don't give away Bentleys they're
never on sale
you want one you can buy it if you willing to pay for it
So Batman I love it, Dark Knight rising
Batman comes because he's batman and he's like I'm batman
surrender or else
so Batman's doing his thing he's swinging
you fight like a young man
he says your victory has defeated you some of you your success has messed
you up you so successful now you soft your success has not benefited you
you've not grown as a result of being successful you've lost your bike you're
not hungry anymore your success is damaging you
So Batman gets up he was like I don't know which is gonna go first your body or your wheel
but you pretty strong I'm still gonna break you
Batman gets up one last time
you know the okay boy the boots
starts hitting all the lights
you know you're Batman you can fight in the dark
He said Batman, you cutting the lights off!
he says may i remind you, you adopted the dark meaning that you
practice in the dark, batman i was born in the dark
shaped by the dark, molded by the dark,
I grew up in the dark
Batman I will break you and I want you to hear what I'm telling you
some of you are soft but you were born in the dark and now you're soft every
time you come up to a challenge you quit you surrender you give up you give in
every single thing I go through I remember I was homeless and I draw from it
every single time I'm going through pain I remember that I've gone through
pain since I was a kid I draw from it
Recycle your pain!
Get something from it, you already in pain use it do something with it
Allow it to take you to the next level allow your pain to push you to greatness
I challenge you I challenge you I challenge you to be the best you could be
i challenge you to leave this room on an unawareness
that you've never had before I challenge you to behave in ways you've never behaved
I challenge you to pick up traits that you've never picked up before and do
everything you could possibly do before you leave this place and impact as many
people as you can so don't be average don't be good don't be great
Be Phenomenal!
