People go through life, many times, playing it safe
That's the secret hope that they say to themselves
"if I never let myself feel too good,
maybe I'll never get hurt too badly."
A lot of people don't ever do the things they're capable of doing
because they allow themselves
to go along with the crowd, following the crowd.
Many people have things they want to do
and they find themselves in relationships with people
who are addicted to mediocrity
and they allow their behavior to influence their behavior.
Birds of a feather flock together
You run around with losers,
you will end up a loser unconsciously
Unconsciously, you will pick up their wage.
You'll pick up their habits.
You'll pick up most importantly, their attitude about life.
If you're around cynical, negative people all the time,
you will become cynical and negative.
You don't need
to be a part of a crowd
to know who you are inside
because everything that everybody else is doing
doesn't necessarily mean that it's good for you.
You don't need to be like everybody else...
But you need to be the best of yourself!
Be able to feel good about who you are
what you are
and what you are ultimately made up
because without that...
how far are you willing to go?
Don't sacrifice yourself
to please others.
It's not easy going it alone
but if you keep going
stay true to yourself.
It will be worth it in the end.
The hardest walk you can make
is the walk you make alone.
But that is the walk
that makes you the strongest.
That is the walk that builds your character the most.
No matter how painful it is
I got to keep going and I got to keep going because
what is my passion, what is my focus?
Your focus and your passion will numb you
to failure and to pain
of striving to get to where you're trying to go.
I don't accept that I am what I am and that,
is what I'm doomed to be.
No.
I don't accept that.
I'm fighting.
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.
