Don't be afraid to reinvent yourself
and don't be afraid to be different, man.
You ain't got to fit in the crowd.
I tell my sons all the time
why are you following everybody
when you were clearly meant to lead?
It's always better to just do your thing.
And I don't care what situation
you done got your life in.
You can turn your life around
'cause it ain't never too late.
See
I didn't get into comedy until I was 27.
I was homeless
from 30 to 33
I lived in a 1976 tempo.
I lived in a car for three years, man.
And so people see me today
they don't know
where I come from.
And I tell young cats all the time man
the key is
you can't ever give up.
At some point, I think we all hit that moment in life,
where things just are not going
how you thought they would go.
Sacrifice is always required
on the road to your dream.
The question is, what are you willing to sacrifice?
When you are in that darkness?
It feels uncomfortable, but you can't wait,
and sit in that darkness.
The only way out is to step forward,
to face your fears, to become your own life.
Anything is possible,
but only if that is what you believe.
See if you are a type that says no,
anything is impossible.
That will also be your reality.
If you live your life in expectations,
that's what happens to you.
If you live your life in despair,
that's what happens to you.
And as you begin to take that process into your hands,
as you begin to shape it,
as you begin to craft it,
you need to remember one thing,
as Larry Page said,
being negative is not how we make progress.
Tearing yourself down over the s*** that you've done,
it's not gonna empower you to change the patterns
that are keeping you stuck.
The moment you change the frequency
that your tower emits,
different things come back to you.
You become more smarter,
you become more educated,
you know more,
but you can't come back.
You cannot come back the same individual.
The aha moment is the door that opens,
but your new life does not begin
unless you can step through the door.
I keep going.
I am saying, I believe in myself.
Best thing about this is that you get to decide
what it decides is important.
That's why if you focus on your goals being possible
only for somebody else,
you will see evidence of it everywhere.
And if you focus on your goals,
being inevitable for you,
you will see evidence everywhere.
See the marketplace rewards
those who have evolved.
The marketplace rewards
those who have become more valuable,
You'll be rewarded for the pain,
cry and secret, plead and secret.
But in public you'll be rewarded.
Who you are today is just a point of reference.
Don't you ever confuse your potential
with who you are right now.
When you feel like giving up,
DON'T.
When you thinking about giving up,
DON'T.
When it look like you ain't gonna make it,
KEEP GOING.
You do the math, you solve one problem
and you solve the next one.
And it doesn't matter
how you get knocked down in life,
cuz that's gonna happen.
All the matters is that you gotta get up.
You have to get up.
Whatever experience you're having right now,
it has not come to stay,
it has come to pass.
I tell people many people wait
for greatness.
And I believe we have all this time to live,
but we only have a moment.
And I'm telling you,
king and queens,
it's time to go after the dream that we want.
It's time to conquer
everything that we believe in.
Everything that we know
is deep down in our soul.
What belongs to us.
Then you consistently keep improving in that area
from all the action,
learning and new intentions you are setting.
Then, from all the improvements you are making
you start believing more and more.
Greater intentions, greater beliefs,
mixed with action and learning creates amazing results.
Because when you see the invisible,
you're able to do the impossible.
Only those that can see the invisible
can do the impossible.
But if you wanna begin to move into
your own personal greatness,
if you wanna begin to really enjoy our happy,
successful, healthy life,
you've gotta be willing to go against the tide.
You've gotta be willing to harness your will.
If you can stay hungry,
you can get the resources.
If you can stay hungry,
you can get the strategy.
If you could stay hungry,
the idea's going to come.
If you could stay hungry,
the connections will be aligned.
If you could stay hungry.
And say, in spite of this,
I'm in control here.
It all starts with honesty.
Ask yourself what you've been lying to yourself about.
Consciously admit
that you've been bullsh*ting yourself about that thing
and do everything in your power to go out and change it.
You'll start to move forward
and achieve that thing.
You'll respecting yourself more.
You start carrying yourself differently.
It ain't easy to do, but I promise you,
it'll be worth it.
It is the chaos of the time
that creates a conqueror in the man.
So when God gets ready to reveal to you
what you have in you, he will often place you
in the midst of chaos
to push you.
Why do you want to work out?
What is your goal?
The most important thing is that you have a vision,
that you have a goal.
You can't work out without purpose.
We need to get into our dress for the wedding.
Summertime's coming straight
so we wanna look all good.
The biggest purpose in life isn't all that ****.
It's how you respect yourself.
How you look at yourself.
That's an everyday ******* journey.
Things that are difficult
when you do these difficult things,
you are stressing your mind or
it's how you stress in your mind, exercising your mind
and exercising your body's ability
to manage intense situations.
It's hard.
It's very difficult.
It's very testing.
Look at training as something that builds
character, work ethic.
Look at training as something that really builds confidence.
Look at something that training
that shows you how to fail
and how shows you how to get up and win.
If you stop working on yourself, your mind will grow weaker.
You must make a commitment that nothing is more important
than your self-development,
because a stronger you is a better you.
And the better you is better for everyone around you.
The truth is
most of the days I don't want to go to the gym,
but I do,
even know I don't feel like it.
It doesn't matter if there's a ******* tornado,
if there's a snowstorm, if there's a hurricane,
if the ******* world is on fire,
the job has to get done.
Every day do something that moves you toward that goal.
That keeps that goal alive and insight,
and in focus.
However, small or insignificant
that step might seem.
Take it!
Do it!
Make it happen.
Because that goal
isn't going to achieve itself.
Tell the world
one time
what you're going to do and that's it.
Spend less time talking
and more time grinding.
Think like a champion,
speak like a champion
and then work it out,
grind one, twenty, all day, every day.
Because you don't have to be great to start,
but you need to start
in order to become great.
Start today
on your journey to greatness.
What you do with what you have?
Are you capable of
grappling with the fact that you're fundamentally flawed
to the point where you have to break things down
into almost childlike steps
in order to manage them?
And answer to that is, yeah, you are!
Much of the time,
our mind is like a balloon in the wind,
blown here and there by external circumstances.
And sometimes you want to
expand your style and like grow.
And that's always good, but like
never veer too far from who you are,
you know, as a, as a person.
I think a lot of what happiness is,
is a management issue and
decisions that you're making right now.
Like you could be in a s*** state of mind right now,
but you could make some decisions to adjust that.
And over the next couple hours,
you'll get to a much better place.
I mean, those who have gone experienced the pains,
and difficulties,
understand from their own experience,
the pains and sufferings of others too.
The most selfish thing you can do in this world
is help someone else.
Why is it selfish?
Because the gratification, the goodness that comes to you,
the good feeling,
the good feeling that I get from helping others,
nothing's better than that.
How will you serve the world?
What did they need
that your talent can provide?
That's all you have to figure out.
As someone who's done what you're about to go and do,
I can tell you from experience,
the effect you have on others
is the most valuable currency there is.
Tear down this mirror,
tear down this mirror that makes you always look at yourself
and see the millions of people
that need your help.
And you will make a huge impact
on the life of the street,
the town, the country, and our planet.
Choose to help on any given day in any given cause,
incredible things will happen in the world you live in.
