I'm speaking to the people who want more.
The people who want to be
the f*cking pinnacle.
The people who want to be
accomplished
the people who want
to make a f*cking difference.
You guys
are going to have to go all the f*ck in.
Make a
100% commitment
to give the best effort you've ever given
to outwork
outimprove
outstrategize
outlast
like never before.
One of the best quotes that I've ever read about it
is that if you have real true freedom,
you're never gonna have equality of outcome
because with real true freedom,
you have the freedom to not
Well, look, if you look at a guy like Jeff Bezos,
for instance, that Amazon guy
is worth more money than anybody ever.
That guy works all day.
I mean, he's a maniac.
He's acquiring all these different companies and,
and everything he's doing is designed to succeed.
I mean, he's just fanatical about it
And i know some guys that are,
you know, they're in approximately the same
universe as those two and they just work all the time.
That's all they do wrok all the time.
And then they don't just work.
They work so efficiently and so effectively
and make use of every second in ways you can't even
imagine unless you're in that sort of position.
So, and you know, doing that doesn't
mean that you will succeed, but not doing it
certainly means that you will fail.
Well, not doing it certainly
means you will never achieve that level of success.
Obsession is wanting something
so bad that
I go to bed with it
I wake up to it
I make whatever sacrifice
I grind
I can't live without it.
If you're gonna get anything
you will have to pay the price.
There is a price tag to greatness.
You will have to work
for every single thing you get.
And you gotta work every single day.
You gotta wake up every day and work.
We do not retreat.
We do not give up.
We do not surrender.
And the reason why most of you are not successful
is because every single time
stuff not going your way,
you give up,
you quit,
you let go.
And people feel weakness,
they feel it.
You can feel when somebody's not committed,
when they're not all in,
when they're not dedicated.
And there's another level you get to
when you go all in.
Look at your belief system every single day
and stick with it.
Don't rush the process,
trust the process.
Don't rush the process,
trust the process.
Don't rush the process,
trust the process.
People who do stuff consistently
and on time,
they surpassed
people who talented
and gifted.
You should never be satisfied with what you got.
You should double your business.
Triple it.
If you accomplish something good with hard work,
the labor passes quickly, but the good endures;
If you do something shameful in pursuit of pleasure,
the pleasure passes quickly,
but the shame endures.
So you begin to look toward making this your decade
as you begin to look to what making your life different
if you begin to look at yourself you got to redefine yourself
who are you right now and who must you become
in order to create what you
what has to change about you
what is it that you're doing right now that would be a liability for you
as you begin to look toward the future
and take inventory of yourself
what is it about you right now
that you've got to leave this behind because this no longer fits
looking at where you want to go
and the kind of person that you must become the kind of standards that you have for you
what is it that you must do differently
if you want to keep on getting what you're getting
keep on doing what you're doing
it makes sense unless you change your pattern
unless you change the way you're thinking unless you change your behavior
you're going to continue to produce the results in your life
see all of us the winners
but some of us are producing results that we don't want
and so all you have to look at your game plan look at your strategy
how is it that you have been being
what is it that you've been doing to produce this
so you're the director, you are the producer, you're writing the script, you're the star of your life
and as you begin to look at your life
you can decide whether or not it's a smash or whether or not it's a flop
that's in your hands look at your
look at your life look at where you want to go
don't worry about your circumstances, don't worry about your age
I have a friend who's up in age over 70
and she wanted to build a multi-million dollar complex the name is dr. Johnny Coleman
lenders and bankers say you can't do that you're too old
she ignored them
that building now stands ladies and gentlemen a multi-million dollar structure
but there are a lot of people who would have listened to that
a lot of people that would not have even gotten to that point
they were talk themselves out of even going down to the bank to ask for it
because they've already said no to themselves
see it's time now if you want to make this your decade
you've got to start saying yes to your life
you've got to start saying yes to your dreams
yes to your unfolding future
yes to your potential
as opposed to saying no see 87% of our self-talk is negative
so you've got to make a conscious deliberate determined effort
to say yes to your dreams
why not?
why not me?
don't spend time like most people going through life complaining
don't try and get on talk shows to tell everybody how life is done you wrong
here's what's happening in the audience
80% don't care and
50% gladdie to you
Even as the Sun doth not wait for prayers and incantations to rise,
but shines forth and is welcomed by all:
so thou also wait not for clapping of hands and shouts and praise to do thy duty;
nay, do good of thine own accord, and thou wilt be loved like the Sun.
Above all, remember that the door stands open.
Be not more fearful than children;
but as they, when they weary of the game,
cry, "I will play no more," even so, when thou art in the like case, cry,
"I will play no more" and depart.
But if thou stayest, make no lamentation.
If you choose, you are free;
if you choose, you need blame no man—accuse no man.
All things will be at once according to your mind and according to the Mind of God.
Withdraw into yourself, as far as you can.
Associate with those who will make a better man of you.
Welcome those whom you yourself can improve.
The process is mutual; for men learn while they teach.
Limiting one’s desires actually helps to cure one of fear.
‘Cease to hope … and you will cease to fear.’ …
Widely different [as fear and hope] are,
the two of them march in unison like a prisoner and the escort
he is handcuffed to.
Fear keeps pace with hope …
both belong to a mind in suspense,
to a mind in a state of anxiety through looking into the future.
Both are mainly due to projecting our thoughts far ahead of us
instead of adapting ourselves to the present
I have learned to be a friend to myself Great improvement
this indeed Such a one can never be said to be alone
for know that he who is a friend to himself is a friend to all mankind. -
Wild animals run from the dangers they actually see, and once they have escaped them worry no more.
We however are tormented alike by what is past and what is to come.
A number of our blessings do us harm,
for memory brings back the agony of fear while foresight brings it on prematurely.
No one confines his unhappiness to the present.
For the only safe harbour in this life's tossing, troubled sea
is to refuse to be bothered about what the future will bring
and to stand ready and confident,
squaring the breast to take without skulking or flinching whatever fortune hurls at us.
Count your years and you'll be ashamed to be wanting
and working for exactly the same things as you wanted when you were a boy.
Of this one thing make sure against your dying day -
that your faults die before you do.
Have done with those unsettled pleasures,
which cost one dear -
they do one harm after they're past and gone,
not merely when they're in prospect.
Even when they're over,
pleasures of a depraved nature are apt to carry feelings of dissatisfaction,
in the same way as a criminal's anxiety doesn't end with the commission of the crime,
even if it's undetected at the time.
Such pleasures are insubstantial and unreliable;
even if they don't do one any harm, they're fleeting in character.
Look around for some enduring good instead.
And nothing answers this description except what the spirit discovers for itself within itself.
A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.
Even if some obstacle to this comes on the scene,
its appearance is only to be compared to that of clouds which drift in front of the sun
without ever defeating its light.
