If you wanna be successful here is the thing you have to do..
You have to jump..
There is no way around it
You have to jump
Every successful person has jumped
You got to jump..
You gotta take a leap of faith
You got to dash of that cliff
And you got to jump out there as far as you can..
Now....
A lot of times you staying on the cliff of life and you see other people soaring by..
gliding down.. like a bird flying through the air..
They're going over to the south of France
You see them on a boat somewhere
You see their family vacationing in here..
Their family vacationing in there
You see them dressing like this
You seem them in New York..
then you see 'em in London.
They're flying by.. and you know why?
It's because they're parachute open
but the only way to get your parachute to open so you can soar...
YOU GOT TO JUMP.
Now here is the problem..
Here is the problem my friends
When you jump I can assure you one thing
Are you listening?
I promise you this..
Your parachute will not open right away..
NO!
That's the fear part
I promise you, your parachute will not open right away
You gonna hit 'em sides and them rocks..
You gonna tear your back out on them cliff
You gonna cut yourself, you gonna get wounded
You gonna get some tears and stuff like that
but eventually..
YOUR PARACHUTE WILL OPEN
and you will be soaring
Here is the other caviar
Let me teach you this right here..
If you do not jump
I promise you one thing..
Your parachute will never open
So you safe..
But you're never soaring..
YOU GOT TO JUMP!
A lot of times people believe in certain things but they keep to themselves..
they don't put it out there..
If you truly believe in it..
If you become vocal with it
You are creating that law of attraction and it will...
BECOME A REALITY!
I'm a professional MMA fighter with a record of..
4-1
I'm an upcoming fighter and..
Without a doubt you will see me in the UFC in the near future..
Without a doubt..
If you can see it here
and you have the courage enough to speak it..
IT WILL HAPPEN
The number one thing is - you have to have a very clear vision.
A very clear goal of where you want to go..
Because only then you will get there..
You can have the best airplane
or the best ship in the world
but if the captain doesn't know where to go he would just drift around
If the pilot doesn't know where to go, he would just drift around with his plane
I think the key thing is that we know where we are going
And that you're very passionate about that
That you see it always in front of you the goal
Nobody knows what you can do but you
Nobody can tell you
If I tell you all the people who told me I wasn't gonna act or sing or dance
or I wasn't good at it
or that I should stop or I should quit.
or even after I became famous
for doing these things
I'd be lock in a house somewhere doing nothing
The truth is nobody knows what's inside of you
Only you know what's inside of you
Only you know what you can accomplish..
If you are doing anything interesting in the world
You're gonna have critics
If you absolutely can't tolerate critics
then don't do anything new or interesting
Don't listen to the neysayers
There are always people out there that will tell you
that you won't be able to do that, forget it
It's a stupid dream that you have
or a crazy vision..
DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEYSAYERS!
And you're in home watching and you are being called weird
and you are being called different
or whatever the hell you are being called
I'm here tonight to tell you
Your critics do not count
Their words will fade
YOU WON'T!
The other thing that is important is that you gotta shoot for the top
You gotta go and really have big goals
Think big
Because then you are gonna get big
Then you gonna go and achieve big things
That's the most important thing
We don't achieve big things by accident
Every challenge I take
I have a big vision
I put a lot of effort, a lot of sacrifice in things I do
If I don't do it it means I don't believe in it
In this I believe very strong
And I will not give up until I am top of the world
That's the way it works
You aim for the top
You don't aim for the second
Second place is the first place among the last ones
And that's not my target
If you feel you have something to give
If you feel that your particular talent
is worth developing
is worth caring for
then there's nothing you can't achieve
If they can do it - I can do it!
And that's the mentality
If somebody else can do it - you can do it!
And I said to myself
I will do it and I will do it better
That's the mentality
And I believe that the mentality is 50 % of the success in what you are doing
People say
You have to have a lot of passion for what you are doing
And it's totally true and the reason is
because it's so hard
that if you don't
any rational person would give up
It's really hard
You have to do it over a sustain period of time
So if you don't love it
If you are not having fun doing it, you don't really love it
You are gonna give up
And that's what happens to most people actually
If you really look at the ones that ended up
being successful "the eyes of society" and the ones that didn't
Often times it's
The ones who are successful love what they did so they could persevere
when it got really tough
And the ones that didn't love it - QUIT.
because they're sane
Who would wanna put up with this stuff if you don't love it
It's a lot of hard work and
it's a lot of worrying - constantly.
IF YOU DON'T LOVE IT
YOU'RE GONNA FAIL
And you gotta push your body
You gotta overcome - it's like you are moving past a barier
Moving a step further up
A lot of people just wanna stop because they are dead tired
but you gotta do the extra one
because that's when you improve
If you think that you are gonna go and accomplish something really special
and be the best in anything in the world
and you think you can do it without working
you're making a big mistake
Because no matter what I did
If it was bodybuilding or an acting
or if it was in the political arena
It always took a lot, a lot of work
Work your butt off
You never want to fail because you didn't work hard enough
I never wanted to lose a competition or lose an election
because I didn't work hard enough - I've always believed
leaving no stone unturned
Mohammad Ali
one of my great heroes
had a great line in the 70s when he was asked how many sit ups do you do?
He said - I don't count my sit ups
I only start counting when it starts hurting
When I feel pain that's when I start counting because that's when it really counts
That's what makes you a champion
That's the way it is with everything
NO PAIN - NO GAIN!
Do you mean that the competition is not the reality?
Listen
The work is behind the scenes
competition is the easy part
behind the scenes is where the work is done
and everything is done to get to that one race you need to run
You know what you gotta do
DO IT!
