Winners
recognize
their weaknesses,
but focus on their strengths
Losers recognize the strengths,
but focus on their
limitations.
Your life is not a true reflection of your potential.
You have greatness within you.
There's more in you right now
that's being reflected by your life right now.
You have the ability to do more
than you can ever begin to imagine
You have to have that kind of attitude about life
that are you increasing your value every time.
You need to learn how to work for yourself
and control your own destiny.
Be your own boss.
If you were on the stock market,
would you invest in you?
When we make more decisions based on the
place that we want to go.
We allow ourselves to train
our brains to know that we are in charge
That we're the ones making the decision
That this is our life.
And we can create the kind of world that we want to create.
You can't wait for somebody to think you can do it.
'Cause they don't think you can do nothing they can't do.
Nobody knows but you.
Nobody knows what you are.
Even sometimes you don't really even know what you are
you gotta take your shot.
Have opinions and feelings about yourself
independent of the feedback.
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.
You gotta be fearless
you gotta be relentless.
You've got to learn how to become resourceful.
You've got to learn how to become creative.
It's very important for you to believe
that you are the one to make this happen.
I want you to know that you are blessed and highly favored
and that as you go toward the future
begin to know that you have greatness within you.
And if just one of you here
begin to envision yourselves
as being blessed and highly favored to reach your goals.
If just one of you
capture the essence of what that means
that you have greatness within you
and responsibility to manifest that greatness,
that you can make your parents proud.
You can touch millions of people's lives
and the world will never be the same again,
because you came this way.
This is the year that you decide
I want new, I want fresh.
I want the real stuff
You get to a point where you don't count it
you just do
whatever it takes
to get whatever you want.
Go into action with your dream.
And don't avoid
where the fights are.
Get in the midst of the fight.
Get knocked down
so you can learn how to fight,
so you can hold your position.
Stand up for your dreams.
Stand up for what you want in your life.
Decide that your life is so meaningful to you,
that you love you,
and you love life so much
that you're gonna stand up for something you want.
Stand up for what you believe in.
Because you can fall for anything.
Everyone of us have days we don't wanna work,
everyone of us have days we don't want to
smile at anybody, eryone of us have days we don't want to
do what we're supposed to do.
Now that we all have those days,
there's a difference between winners and losers,
and that is that winners get up and do it anyway.
And losers will whimp through life sniffling,
wondering why
they never make it.
You look at your life, you look at what you produced,
is it giving you what you want?
Are you living on purpose?
Are you living your dream?
Are you acting on your ideas?
Are you doing all that you can do?
Have you gotten comfortable?
Are you procrastinating?
Are you a evading your own greatness?
Are you surrounding yourself
with people that can nourish you?
Are you challenging yourself?
Are you experimenting?
Are you learning something different?
Is your life an adventure or is it boring?
The person
that gets up off the canvas
and keeps growing
that's the person
that will continue to grow their influence.
There is no easy way.
There is only
hard work
late nights
early mornings
practice
rehearsal
repetition
study
sweat
blood
toil
frustration
and discipline.
What are you gonna do?
When are you gonna start doing it?
It's not about enthusiasm.
Do you need to smile? Yeah you need to smile,
you need to smile like you're crazy.
You need to smile when you're not winning.
But you need to do something folks.
and you need to do it 10 times, and then 100 times,
and then 1000 times.
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.
When you're consistently good,
when you are consistently true
to your word and to your values,
when what you say and what you do
consistently measures up,
and that there's a sense of cohesion
in your thoughts, and your words,
and your actions, and your questions.
when all of it comes together in a consistent way,
then all of a sudden the people say,
I buy into that person.
Once you find those things
that will make it worth it for you
it is done.
It's a done deal.
You know people
you've seen people
that you can predict early on
that person
is going to be a diamond
you know it.
How they carry themselves
how they take care of business
how they follow through
how they keep their commitments to their commitment
how they work the system
their energy level, their passion,
you know it, the mark is on them
you know it.
That one's going to make it.
And people
must see that
in you.
You want to be
persistent about what it is that you want to achieve.
Alexander Graham Bell said
What this power is I cannot say
all I know is that it exists
and becomes available only when a man or a woman
is in that state of mind in which
he or she knows exactly what he or she wants
and is fully determined
not to quit
until they find it.
Great Ideas are never gonna interrupt you.
They have to be pursued.
And if you don't pursue 'em,
you're gonna get what everybody else has,
which is all this fear, all this uncertainty,
all this stuff won't work, cuz everybody's
focused on what won't work, what can't happen.
Why? Cuz they're afraid.
They're afraid to fail.
They're afraid to try and feel like they're not enough.
So you gotta stand guard of that mind by feeding your mind.
You know, Jim Roh used to say to me, success leaves clues.
If you want things to get better, you gotta get better.
If you want things to change, you gotta change
But you gotta do it deliberately and consciously.
And he used to say to me constantly said,
Tony, you've got to constantly find a way
to feed that mind,
something that's got strategy in it,
philosophy,
something that's gonna improve the quality of your life.
And if you really learn it,
you can help the people you love with the things you learn.
Most of us in life
we work so hard for things
we think life's gonna be a certain way
but as you're gonna discover,
life is never a straight line.
You know, we are taught that
we think line is just, I'm gonna go from here to there.
But if you look in nature,
you never see a straight line in real nature,
but it's a straight line of human built it.
And so it's a process of evolving of growing, dropping back,
growing, dropping back,
and challenges are what really grow us.
You know, your life is a great story.
You know, every person's life is a story.
And the question is some people's story is a warning.
Some people's story is an example.
Right now you're an example that's growing and expanding
and you have a chance to have this be the most incredible life,
but it won't be a life without challenge.
You gotta every day feed and strengthen your body
What is it that screws up everybody's life?
Fear is the number one thing that
keeps people from doing what's necessary
and anger and rage all can mobilize us.
If it becomes part of your life on a regular basis, it destroys it.
So how do you bounce that out?
Well, fear, anger.
They're both physical.
Aren't they?
Think about what do you feel like
if you're really ever been so afraid
that your throat got really dry
You feel this feeling in your gut, right?
That's physical.
Courage is also physical.
Again, courage does not mean you're not afraid.
Courage means you're afraid, but you do it anyway, right?
it's a way of being in your body.
So one of the things that I started doing early on is understanding,
and those of you who spent four days with me, you know,
day and night, cause we did it
and it's in your body still how to change
the way you feel instantly by a radical change in your body.
And so I really wanna recommend you do something
at least five days a week.
develops a simple daily discipline
It's like, I don't negotiate with myself.
I tell my brain, I don't go, oh, wait, I'm not ready.
Or let me, let me count to 10 or maybe I'll do it tomorrow.
That pattern of thinking is what destroys most people's lives and their dreams.
You can settle for a life like most people have,
or you can create your dreams,
but to do it, you need to be able to push yourself.
So you need to train yourself in little ways,
or it could be
just going and lifting weights.
And you're gonna do like 10 minutes of pushing yourself or a sprint,
or really fast walk, anything
Cuz when you get your blood pushing, when you push beyond what's comfortable,
it develops this determination inside you.
This sense of will
That you will then use everywhere else.
I always say, if you discipline yourself in one area of your life,
you're gonna be able to do even more In other areas,
You get momentum.
Momentum is everything.
So if you train your mind great,
but you gotta train your body as well in some way.
And I don't care again, if it's five or 10 minutes, will you really push yourself
or a full-blown workout?
It's gotta get there because when you do that regularly,
you're gonna find yourself having a better mind,
the mind and body can't be separated.
They're completely connected.
You work on both of them.
You're gonna have a different world
and you're not gonna be shut down.
And when other people are like, oh, it can't be done.
Just move. "I'll handle it."
It's a different way of being, isn't it?
