Some of you are, your priorities are out of line
and you're partying right now, and you're broke
You're broke in your relationships, you're broke in your health
like for real, you broken, you broke, you broke.
And you're broke because you not getting the "I"
you not understanding the "I"
I told you last week, it is about an invention and idea
If you, if you would get off the couch, stop playing video games
stop murmuring, stop complaining
stop going to a job you don't like.
You about to go to a whole other level
in every area of your life.
I'm talking about the "I am" I am!
I am strong.
I am equipped, I am confident
I am more than a conqueror.
Don't let your words guide you
let your actions guide you.
Everything you've ever wanted, everything you've ever wanted in life.
It's in your idea, it's in your I am
- Come on, I am - I am
For I am, I am.
After you get off work
just like you invest in them, you need to invest in yourself.
And the problem is simple
you're not investing in your I am.
Write the idea down and shut up.
You ain't got to share your idea with 50 people.
You're watching people blow up who had an idea
and they turned that idea into a reality
and not only are they millionaires or billionaires
but they making people millionaires or billionaires.
your success is not determined on just what you say.
Write the idea down and boom get to stepping baby
get to the action.
You don't get out of life what you want.
Raise your level of consciousness
you get out of life who you are.
I am the greatest.
You haven't convinced you that you need to put the money in
so you can get where you're trying to get to
you don't believe that you are and the very first thing the creator said was
tell them I am
After you do, pursue, what does that mean?
You never get to a place where you're chilling
Not your children's children will be satisfied for a marginal life
and a marginal marriage
if they see their mom and dad have a marginal anything
they're going to embrace that, why?
Because you can tell people whatever you want to tell them
but people don't live this life based on what you tell them
they live it on based on who you are.
This information is gonna change your life forever
like, if you've been here this information is gonna change your life.
Find out who you are, find out what your purpose is in life
Everybody got a dream, everybody got a goal.
Stop dreaming about it, stop talking about it
and get up and do something about it.
What are the two most powerful words in the English language?
The two most powerful words in the English language are 'I am'
Because what comes after I am will shape your life.
What you speak after I am
what you believe after I am
will control your decisions and shape your life.
If you believe you are powerful
if you believe you are capable of achieving great things
you will attempt great things.
If you speak into your life resilience and determination
to overcome anything
you will be ready to face and overcome anything
let the power of I am shape your life
in the most powerful way.
What you speak after I am
what you believe after I am
will control your decisions and shape your life.
If you believe you are powerful
If you believe you are capable of achieving great things
you will attempt great things.
I am powerful, I am strong
I am successful, I am an achiever
I am abundant
I am rich, I am determined
I am focused, I am disciplined
I am healthy, I am wealthy
I am
I am beautiful, I am wise
I am capable of anything
I'm someone who makes things happen
I'm a powerful creator
I am filled with faith
I am blessed, I am great, I am a miracle
I am connected, I am God
I am more than my body
I am a powerful spirit
I am ready, I am focused
I am a fighter, I'm more than enough
I am a winner
I am a champion.
You can't just speak the words
you must feel them
and you must believe them.
Repeat them every day
let them soak into your subconscious
let the power become one with you.
Ali said, “I am the greatest”
and he became the greatest
are you ready to be great?
I am
Replace I want with I am.
Instead of saying I want to be rich
say I am rich
I am wealthy.
Say it, feel it
feel it until you believe it.
I am powerful, I am strong
I am successful, I am abundant
I am rich, I am determined
I am focused, I am disciplined
I am capable of anything
I am a powerful creator
I am limitless
I am
Thoughts are powerful
thoughts lead to action
actions over time become habits
and habits lead to long-lasting results.
Persevere
nothing worthwhile is easy
No one of achievement has avoided failure
sometimes catastrophic failures.
But they keep at it.
They learn from mistakes they don’t quit.
The key is what we do in our times of pain.
Pain will change us
heartache, loss, disappointments.
They don't leave us the same.
You can come out bitter
or you can come out better.
You can come out defeated
giving up on your dreams
or you can come out with a new passion, a new fire.
Excited about the new opportunities in front of you.
Don't just go through it, grow through it.
That difficulty is an opportunity to get stronger
to develop character, to gain new confidence.
That pain is not there to stop you
it's there to prepare you
to increase you, to develop you.
You're going to hit a wall
and that wall shocks some people.
That wall stuns some people.
That wall discourages some people.
It's painful hitting that wall.
But some people hitting that wall refused to be denied.
This person comes back
anyhow
again, and again and again
And if you keep on hitting that wall
here's what happens to you
that you will have an incredible breakthrough.
And it's as if the universe says
let's help him out.
Come on
I admire that kind of tenacity.
Let's give her a hand.
This person doesn't care about the pain
because this person knows something
there's no gain
without pain.
Everybody talks positive about themselves.
Everybody talks like you're a beast
You dress like you a beast
and then when it's time to do what beasts do, you back up
you have an excuse.
Innovation is rewarded
They give you a plaque for it, they give you a reward for it
but execution is worshipped.
Listen to me, there's no excuse
and what will separate those of you from the rest
is not what they give you
what's gonna separate you is what you do.
Listen to me very closely, I want you to know
there's only one equation that's missing
there's only one thing you cannot purchase
there's only one thing you cannot buy
and that's what real beasts do.
I ain't smart, but the difference between me and most people is
you might be sweeter than me, you might be bigger than me
you might grind, listen to me, I don't know
you might have money, I don't know where you come from
but you will not outwork me.
Every single time.
This is an opportunity of a lifetime and I'm gonna take advantage of it.
When I was 29
I told myself the next acting job I get, no matter what it pays
I will from now on
for better or worse
be a working actor.
I got a low-paying theater job in a play called Imperfect Love
which led to a film called 13 Moons
with the same writer
which led to other roles, which led to other roles
and I've worked as an actor ever since.
I didn't know that would happen
At 29 walking away from data processing
I was terrified.
Ten years in a place without heat
six years at a job I felt stuck in.
Maybe I was afraid of change
Are you?
And so at 29, and at very long last
I was in the company of the actors and writers and directors
I'd sought out that first year
that first day after school.
I was. I am by their sides.
Raise the rest of your life to meet you.
Don't search for defining moments
because they will never come.
The moments that define you have already happened
and they will already happen again
and it passes so quickly.
So please bring each other along with you
You, you just get a bit derailed.
But soon something starts to happen, trust me.
A rhythm sets in.
Just try not to wait
until like me, you're 29 before you find it
and if you are, that's fine too, some of us never find it.
But you will
I promise you
you are already here.
You'll find your rhythm or
continue the one you have already found.
Don't wait until they tell you, you are ready
Get in there
Sing
The world might say "you are not allowed to yet."
I waited a long time out in the world
before I gave myself permission to fail.
My parents didn't have much money
but they struggled to send me to the best schools.
And one of the most important things they did for me
is that once I graduated, I was on my own.
Financially it was my turn.
This made me very hungry
literally.
I couldn't be lazy
At the end of the day
none of us are happy with our jobs all the time
but I just sort of, had some perseverance
in terms of what I wanted to do and what I didn't want to do
and I think NO is a very powerful word in our business
that is very hard to use early on in your career.
But I also think I was pretty arrogant when I was younger.
So I used that word maybe too much
but it also helped me with finding roles that I did like.
We burn very brightly
please don't ever stop
Please
Don't even bother asking
don't bother telling the world you are ready.
Show it
Do it
What did Beckett say
"Ever tried, ever failed
No matter
try again
fail again
fail better
the world is yours."
Treat everyone kindly
and light up the night.
How bad do you want it?
Are you talking about it, or are you being about it?
Greatness is no joy ride.
Greatness is full of adversity and obstacles.
How bad do you want it?
How dedicated are you
to achieving your greatness?
Too many times we wake up in the morning
and we're ungrateful for that day we're awake, we're blessed
The world is full of negativity
we don't have to be negative on ourselves.
I hate when people talk about I am unlucky
I am unsuccessful, I am fat, I am ugly
No, you are not, let's change our I am
it's gonna fuel our days, it’s gonna fuel our life
I am successful, I am powerful, I am great, I am amazing
That's the words that have to follow our I am
It's going to fuel your life
let's start taking it with passion
Let's start being amazing.
Use your I am
to change the world
if your actions are not in line with your beliefs
Stop lying to yourself.
There is nobody in this world that can go out there and be great for you.
You got to make a conscious decision to stop making excuses
Strap up your heart, stick out your chest and get it done.
There's nobody in this world that's going to give you what you want
You're gonna have to go out there and get what you want by working hard.
Being talented is not good enough
you gotta work hard
you gotta be passionate
and you gotta, gotta be grateful
Yes, I said grateful.
I failed over and over and over again
and I've risen to success because of my mindset.
Your mindset can be controlled
your attitude can be controlled by you, nobody else
nobody else can control your attitude and your mindset
if you let them,
then you're allowing them to own something that belongs to you
that is your property.
When you get up in the morning
don't look at your phone
don't check your emails
don't think about yesterday's problems, yesterday struggles
and what obstacles you got today.
Focus
focus on the things that you have and not the things that you want
focus on the people that love you and not the people that hate you
focus on what and who you want to be and become
be blessed, be grateful and say thank you.
When you wake up every single morning, I want you to wake up with a smile on your face
doesn't matter how bad yesterday was
doesn't matter what you got going on today
and start telling yourself what you wanna be
I am rich
I am healthy
I am great
I am amazing
I am a great father, I am a great mother
whatever you wanna be, start your day off with I am
because what follows your I am
is gonna shape your day
your year
and your life.
I'm gonna tell you something that one of my mentors Jim Rohn told me
If you want change in your life
you are going to have to change
you're gonna have to do something different
you're not gonna be able to get up
and be doing the same thing over and over again
and expect something different to happen
something different to change.
If you keep doing that you are insane
that is the definition of insanity.
Don't be a volunteer victim.
A lot of our problems in life
is self-inflicted wounds
A lot of times as we get older
we tend to conform
and we stop growing, we stop building as people inside.
No one wants to set goals, nobody wants to keep them.
We'd rather do what's easy in life
instead of getting a little bit uncomfortable
and growing
When you're uncomfortable is when you start to grow
when you're uncomfortable
is when you start to build muscles in your mind, in your body, in your soul.
Gratitude
is the only, only shortcut to success.
Be grateful for what's around you
Don't take it for granted
Get up every single morning and do something that you love
For half an hour, for 10 minutes, for five minutes, for an hour
start small
I'm gonna repeat that, success is little steps of progress
if you're moving forward, if you're moving towards your goals
towards your greatness, then you are progressing.
Don't wait till the weekend, do it now
whatever it is
you have to believe
stop putting limitations on yourself
stop doubting yourself
stop letting other negative naysayers
pull you into their circle of disaster, misery loves company
that's a fact
We have to rethink what motivates us
What pushes us?
What is our why?
why do you do what you do how you do it?
I want to inspire you to become the best you that you can be.
Everybody else is taken. You can do the easy things in life.
If you do those easy things, life is gonna be hard, I promise you
But if you go about it, and do those hard things
those things that nobody wanna do
those things “oh, man I gotta get up and do that today, alright”
then life will be easy,
it's a choice that you have to make whenever you're ready.
Write down exactly what you want to achieve
and then every single day as many times as possible
read it to yourself.
If you want to make a million dollars a year, write down on a piece of paper
I make a million dollars a year
I'm healthy
I am happy
I have the love of my life.
Write it down and repeat it every single day.
You wanna be great, you wanna be special
you wanna be wealthy, you wanna be a billionaire
you wanna be the best basketball player, you wanna be the best football player
you wanna be the best soccer player
you wanna be the best surgeon, the best doctor, the best father
whatever your best is going to be
wherever the best that you want it to be
you gotta get up and you gotta change.
You gotta do something that you never thought you'd do
You gotta do something that, that people don't expect you to do
you got to go ahead and rewrite your own history
Stop waiting for somebody to come in there, swoop you off your feet
make your life perfect, make your life great
you gotta do it, you have to be the change in your life
that you want to happen
You cannot depend on anybody
the only person I'm gonna ever bet on in this world is myself.
Because I know that's the one thing I can control
my attitude
my mentality, yes my mentality
I'm the only person that has control over that
if you let somebody piss you off, you let somebody get you mad
shame on you
Stop doing what you're doing every single day
unless you are dedicated to being great.
Now get up there
get outside
and go make change happen
for you and your family right here, right now, today.
My ten-year old son
literally brought me to tears
Two days ago, I believe, I think it was two days ago
I'm cleaning up his room picking up some of his stuff
and I see these index cards and I was like aw man that's so crazy
I was looking for some index cards
So I go to take the index cards to write my goals
to put them into the universe, to state them down on an index card
and it says do not touch and I'm like, what the heck
so I flipped it over
I started to read what my son wrote
and it brought me to tears.
This child is ten years old
he wrote a speech that he's gonna give
when he goes into the NFL Draft
and he doesn't know exactly what team he's gonna get drafted by yet
But he thanked me, thanked his high school coach, he thanked his JV coach
he thanked, he thanked coaches he doesn't even have yet.
Guys he didn't stop there, he wrote his Hall of Fame speech
when he gets inducted into the National Football Hall of Fame.
What does he have that you don't?
What does he have that I don't?
What does he have that most people don't?
He has full faith and belief in himself
And that is what motivated me
that is what got me excited
that's what gets me up every single morning is my why.
So every morning when you wake up
I'm gonna challenge you right here, right now
I'm gonna challenge you
to think something that makes you smile
just-just smile, early in the morning
be thankful, say it out loud
say three things that you're grateful for in your life.
Smile
and then you're gonna set up the rest of your morning
the rest of your afternoon and your day for success.
If you really want it
then step up and go get it
