The law of expectations says that
your expectations tend to become
your own self-fulfilling prophecies.
In other words, what you expect to happen usually does,
and if your expectations are based on false information,
so you have false expectations,
that's what will happen anyway.
For instance, your expectations could be
that you are
destined to have an extraordinary life,
and be extremely successful
is that no matter what happens,
it's all part of a learning process
that is leading you inevitably to great success,
happiness, and accomplishment.
And if you absolutely expect that to be true,
if that's your fundamental belief,
then over time that will become true.
Each of us must live off the fruit
of his thoughts in the future,
because what you think today and tomorrow,
next month and next year,
will mold your life and determine your future.
You're guided by your mind.
Above all, don't worry.
Worry brings fear, and fear is crippling.
Don't let a wrong story limit your destiny.
Don't believe that lie that says,
just live with the sickness,
the depression,
"I'll never get well",
"never go to college",
"never meet the right person".
"let me just make it through life"...
Tell yourself a new story.
You can still accomplish your dream.
You can still get well,
still meet someone awesome,
still go to new levels.
Delete that old story.
Get rid of that limited thinking,
that's what's stopping
the new things God has installed.
Nothing makes you feel more worthy
than when you get to be the manifestor
of what you want.
Worthiness is a human issue,
and the reason it is a human issue
is because
you are the ones that are turning thoughts to things.
You're the one that are getting to take
vibrational rivers of thoughts
and stay with them all the way out
to their fruition.
To make a present a future dream a present fact,
you must assume the feeling of that wish
as already being fulfilled.
Because there is a process before promise,
and if you don't have at least a vision of the promise,
the process will discourage you.
But every time discouragement is trying to get you
to give up the process,
remember the vision you have of the promise.
Now you can only go as far in life
as your why will carry you.
Champions have self-awareness.
They know why they want what they want,
and that why carries them to the promised land.
The "why" is the birthplace of all champions.
And when you can look at that,
when you can look at your own inadequacies,
when you can accept
that you are not yet good enough,
but you know that you'll put in the work to get there,
you know that you'll learn the things
that you need to learn,
that you will push
and you will practice and you will shape yourself
into someone capable of doing it.
And you have to literally carve your own path
out of the stone granite of a mountainside.
You will do that
because that's what your goals demand.
When God tells you he gonna do something,
you don't have to be timid.
You don't have to be weak.
You don't have to be afraid.
You walk in common
when God says I am, that I am.
And it is the Lord that declares it.
When God declares it,
it's so.
This happened in your school, maybe later in your university, later in your work.
It's happening to people.
Maybe not everyone, but to a whole lot of people,
their commitment to success is weak.
They want to succeed.
They will take three steps.
Then something little interesting happens here.
They will go away here, they'll go away there.
They'll go away there, Hey, I want to live.
their commitment to success is weak.
Uh, either situations around them in some way.
You know, situations can impede you from doing what you're doing very easily
Many times it happens to everyone.
But when this happens, people weaken their commitment for their success.
Maybe physically they'll feel a little weak.
They will weaken their commitment to success.
Maybe their emotions loss around a little bit.
They will weaken their commitment to success.
This is very important right now.
However long it takes.
This virus,
humans come out of this successfully.
That means humans stay alive.
That's an important part,
and commitment to staying alive.
We should not be slackened no matter what happened.
Somebody very dear to us passed away
All the more important we must live.
People around us are all sick.
All the more important We are healthy
to take care of the people around us.
So our commitment to success should not weaken
because there is social drama going on,
or physiological drama or psychological drama
whatever happens, your commitment to success should not weaken.
That is what get you across so many lines in our life, so many barriers in our life.
So, what does success look like?
What does it take?
You must understand those who made any significant that achievement in their life.
they did not, you know,
I don't want to take any personal examples of anybody.
I'm trying to avoid obvious things that are coming to my mind.
Well, uh,
you know, I know family and friends who always have their breakfast on time.
And after breakfast, of course, they must have coffee.
After coffee.
Of course, they must light up a cigarette and, uh, sit there nicely because
they're trying to become peaceful.
And then they will go to work, come back home exactly on time for lunch,
eat lunch, rest for one or two hours, sleep
Then evening have one tea and then smoke, and then again go to work.
And at eight, eight o'clock, eight 30, they're back home for dinner.
And then maybe other things drink and this and that and whatever.
Well, that's their priority.
It's fine.
I'm not complaining.
It should not be that way.
But those who have been very successful either in music, sports, art,
business, spiritual process
doesn't matter what
those people
never know when they ate,
when they slept, when they got afternoon rest.
I've not seen such a thing in my life.
So, uh, those who are committed to being successful with whatever they're doing.
One important aspect of their life is
they're not settling down
wherever It's a bit comfortable.
Because comfort will happen
when they lower you to the grave very comfortable you are you know
It's so simple when you get the life is really short
and you felt that before
either you are threatened
but when you have that real essence in you that
says life is short have reverence for it
Live it That's a really big thing.
I got that at 19 and I learned specifically that if we have a moment of cognition
before the end of our life, we tend to ask questions to evaluate if we are happy
So if I have any impact in the world, it's gonna come from that experience where
I learned that the ultimate lesson is determine what the questions you're going to
ask at the end of your life are going to be.
So that you would know if you were happy with your life.
And then live each day intentionally.
So you're happy with the answers at the end.
The questions I had were, did I live, which I hadn't.
I'd been living my life, I'd been thinking about taking my life
Did I love?
No, my heart was broken and I put up all these walls to keep out
other people and I learned that
I would ask, did I matter
22 years ago on a dark Caribbean night
I'm standing on the crumpled hood of a car, bleeding out.
My friend, he's screaming at top of his lungs, he's bleeding.
We don't know gonna live.
I'm standing on the hood of this car looking down at all this blood, and I'm in terror.
And I just remember looking down at the hood and just thinking, did I even matter?
And I hated the answer.
At that time in life, I didn't know about impact theory.
Did I matter?
I didn't think I did.
But the good news is
I'm a good learner and I felt like I got a second chance from God that night and
I learned that it was really important for me to figure out how do I live and
how do I love, and how do I matter in such a way that if I face my death again,
I'll know I've earned the second chance.
I just want people to know, know your questions man.
Live intentionally and earn the life that you've been given
cuz this moment's a blessing.
So earn this moment and live intenttionally.
