Faith of any kind
always comes by hearing.
You didn't believe you were dumb until you heard you were dumb.
You didn't believe you couldn't learn until you heard somebody say you couldn't
learn.
Your unbelief is a result
of something you heard
about yourself.
And the more you heard it and rehearsed it
and even argued about it and said you didn't believe it
every time you face a challenge tell me the truth
don't those voices come back up?
Every time you hit a low place don't those voices come
back up again?
And you will never completely
be healed or whole
until you change the voice
inside of your own head.
And nobody can do this, but you.
The moment you raise your hand and say, I'm going to do something
I can guarantee you that somebody's not gonna agree with what you're
going to do.
Somebody's not gonna be supportive of what you're trying to do.
Somebody's going to try to assassinate what you're trying to do.
And yet you have to have the commitment and the calling
and the tenacity and the character
to be able to withstand the onslaught that comes against you
in order to proceed toward your destiny and towards your purpose.
You've had bad experience after bad experience, after bad experience
after bad experience.
You tried to talk yourself out of wanting it
and talk yourself out of believing tried to fit in with the people around you
blend into the scenery just like everybody else
to be cool and maybe they'll like you but the problem is
there's a burning desire down inside of you, that will not shut up.
That will not die.
Do I just sit there and settle?
No, I don't.
I say enough's enough, man and I'm gonna make a change
and I'm gonna keep going until I get it.
You chase something that you believe you deserve
until you get it.
And it doesn't matter what happens to you doesn't matter how many times you've been
fired doesn't matter how many people don't believe
in you you just go
until you get it.
You gotta believe this for yourself.
You gotta believe I can do this.
I was created for this.
I was called for this.
I was curved for this.
I was shaped for this.
I was meant for this.
Wouldn't it be amazing if you believe that?
Wouldn't you sleep good tonight if you believe that?
Wouldn't you walk around with your head up and your back straight
if you believe that?
You wouldn't be intimidated by anybody, anywhere, at any time
if you just believe that.
Say it and actually mean it.
Look in the mirror every f*cking day and say, yeah
I'm proud of you.
I believe in you.
You can do anything you want.
You are powerful.
You say, if it's hard, then do it hard.
I won't allow this to stop me.
I don't have the option of easy
I don't have the option and I don't think you do
or any of us do of going around trying to find a dream
that's a little dream that doesn't require much responsibility
or not too stressful or won't be too much of a hassle.
No, no, no.
All you need to do to get out in the arena of life is to say
it's possible.
In spite of the no's just maybe this next call might do it.
It's possible this next job interview
this might be the one.
I can do this.
"Why'd you get up out the bed this morning?"
'Cause this might be the day.
"Why did you put in another application?"
'Cause this might be the day.
I can't stay home today this might be the day.
I can't give up right now this might be the day.
I can't slide back now this might be the day.
Every voice that said you'll never be nothing you gotta call it out
you're a liar.
Every time something whispers in your ear and says you can't make it through this
you can't take this you're gonna have a nervous breakdown
you're gonna lose your mind you're gonna die like your mama did
you're gonna get sick like your daddy did you gotta talk back to those voices
and say hey you're a liar.
You're lying on me.
I'm better than this.
You need to abort every voice that said you can't do it
you can't have it you can't be it
you'll never get up you'll never survive
abort that thing push it out.
I got to get out of here.
Even if I have to fight my way out I've got to get out.
I've got too much vision to stay in this rut.
Every day you wake up you gotta start with that vision.
You're gonna get up you're gonna get dressed
you're gonna get out and you're gonna do
what you've been called to do.
And you're gonna prove to everybody that tried to break you
everybody that tried to stop you everybody that tried to kill your dream
you're gonna prove all of them wrong.
