So, how do you make it how do you overcome the odds
I don't know what to say. Really?
Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives all comes down to today
We're in Hell right now
Believe me
and
We can stay here get the shit kicked out of us
or we
can fight our way back?
into the light
We can climb out of hell. Oh
You could be like me dream of pro football get hurt dream over
Find yourself with just seven bucks in your pocket
So how did I get here? By being the hardest worker in the room.
Now it's time to see who has the heart.
Now is the time to prove to yourselves and to prove to everyone out there, you're somebody.
You are worthy of something
and you're able to do something special
that no one else in the world can do.
Are you ready to go out there and take what's yours?
What you work hard for.
All of us in life have things we want.
We don't get what we want, we get what we have to have.
We all get what we tolerate, in ourselves and other people.
But when you're no longer willing to tolerate something,
that's when your life changes.
Everyone in the world has a list of things they think they 'should' do.
I should lose weight. I should work out. I should spend more time with my kids.
I should work harder. I should make more calls.
I should, I should, I should, I should
and then you know what? People don't do their ‘shoulds’
and they get mad at themselves, they beat themself up about it.
What changes people is when you should, becomes a must.
When suddenly the thing you said should happen
has to happen. That's when your redeems change.
It's like if you want to take the island and you're the head of the army, if you want to take the island,
the most powerful way to take the island is burn the boats
because if there's no way to go back it's amazing what happens,
when it's a must to do something, versus a should.
That's what makes human beings succeed.
Ego is the success inhibitor.
You have to do your best not to make decisions based off of ego, for sure.
Success and failure are generally slow processes.
Either slowly building things up
or gradually tearing them down
and that's wh y I say you've got to pay attention.
You have to watch, you have to watch every single second
because those seconds,
they turn into minutes.
then minutes turn into hours and hours turn into days
and days turning years
and so that second, that second that just went by
that guilted
and so did that second and so did that one.
and in those precious seconds you're either building
or you're decaying.
You're either gaining ground
or you're loosing ground,
in that second,
in every second.
Every second counts.
So make every second count
The dreams shattered sent home with seven bucks in my pocket.
I was like 'Wait. No, I gotta play in the NFL eventually.
Those are my big goal, that's my dream.
You realize that that playing in the NFL
was the best thing that never happened because it got me here
So my point is look you're gonna get your ass kicked. We're gonna get the shit kicked out of us.
You got to get up. You got to have faith that the one thing you wanted to happen,
oftentimes is the best thing that never happened.
So have faith. Just keep that in mind and keep plugging away
