What's the problem?
You've been waiting your entire life for this moment
this golden opportunity
this rare occasion
this chance to do what so many other people don't get to do
What they don't get to accomplish
what they don't get to experience
what they can only imagine.
But you're here
you've made it to this point
you've arrived at this pinnacle place in your life
It would be a shame to mess it up
a shame to miss this chance
all because you allowed fear to trump faith.
Time waits for no man
once it's gone, it's gone
it doesn't roll over
time goes forward, time never goes backward.
The time is now
there has never been a more promising time to achieve greatness
I heard someone once say
that 'greatness is within you but is dormant, is bottled up
just waiting for the moment to unleash and show the world how great you really are.'
How talented you can be
How amazing your skills are
Not sure if you know or not, but there are hundreds -no scratch that-
thousands -no let me try again-
millions of people that would kill to be in your shoes right now
They would give up food, sleep, TV, cell phone and any other luxury of the world
just to be given the opportunity you have right now.
But instead of taking advantage of it
instead of capitalizing on it
you're too busy eating, you're too busy sleeping
you're too busy being distracted by what's on television
you're too occupied with what's trending on social media.
Every second you're not working, your competitor is
in other words you don't have time to chill
you don't have time to just hang out
you don't have precious moments to lose
that same billionaire that you idolized has the same 24 hours that you have
imagine that
the same 86,400 seconds in the day, do they waste it?
You better work your butt off every single second that you have
or you will find yourself saying I should have, but it'll be too late
the time would have already passed
your chance will be lost
your golden opportunity will fall in someone else's lap
don't do that to yourself.
You've work too hard up until this point
you put too much blood, too much sweat, too much tears
too many late nights of studying into your craft to ease up now.
The time is now
not only is it important to you
but it's important to your family, it's important to your friends
it's important to every young child that looks at you as a role model
and you had no idea you were being watched.
There are young kids in your neighborhood that aspire to be like you
They want the opportunities you've been given
but they may be too shy to tell you and so they watch from a distance
don't let them down.
The time is now
everyone in your corner is rooting for your success
everyone in your corner wants to see you shine
everyone in your corner wants to see you win
everyone in your corner believes in you.
The question is, do you believe in you?
are you committed to the process? are you built for this life?
are you ready for the tears?
the long days of working hard, the sleepless nights of putting in work
the sacrifice of your time to reach a new level.
The time is now
the choice is yours
don't wait
don't hold back
don't be shy
give it all you got
give it every ounce of effort you can muster up
then, and only then can you be successful
The time is now
really quickly, really quickly
the first component, the first thing of your A-game
the first letter that you've got to get is
the attitude, alright now say it with me you've got to have the right attitude
listen to me your attitude is everything
Your attitude determines every single thing you do in life
your attitude determines your altitude.
Do you want to go high in life? You've got to have the right attitude
this is what they say in life
They say that, they say that life is it just 10%
listen to me now, 10% of what happens is your life.
90% the remaining big picture
the remaining 90% is how you respond to that small 10%
So no matter what it is that you go through in life, it's only a small fraction
the big picture however is how did you respond to that failure?
how did you respond to.. to that adversity?
how did you respond to failing that quiz?
how did you respond to not getting that promotion? right!
whatever it is you went through in life, How did you respond?
how did you bounce back?
so it's all about having the correct attitude.
Anticipation all that really means is –listen-
you past the point of hoping for success
you past the point of wishing for success
anticipation literally means you are expecting to be successful, right!
when you woke up this morning, you expected certain things to happen, right!
am I wrong? Let me know if I'm wrong
when you woke up you anticipated eating some breakfast
you anticipated going to school, going to work, right!
you anticipated halfway through the day, getting some type of lunch, some snack
you anticipated certain things throughout your day
in other words you expected them to happen
listen in other words if you didn't get to lunch on time, you felt some type of way, right!
if you didn't get to eat at a certain time
you started to get a little angry, ya'll catching this?
so when it comes to your dreams, you've got to be the same way
expect it to happen so much that if it doesn't happen you're starting to feel some type of way
if you don't succeed when you're ready to succeed you -
listen, your day is going south alright
so you've got to anticipate being successful and don't miss this
you have to have the right attitude, you have to anticipate being successful
but last and not least, you got to have some action.
Listen I don't care how great your attitude is
I don't care how much you say "Torian, I'm anticipating becoming successful"
then you sit on the couch every day, it ain't gonna get there for you
You can't make millions sitting in bed watching TV all day
You got to get out of the bed, you got to get off that couch
You got to put that cell phone down, you got to go out there and get what belongs to you.
listen to me now your action is that glue
everything you've worked so hard for, your action is what's gonna mold it all together.
I don't know what area you are in your life
I don't know if you're in school watching this video
I don't know if you're in the office watching this video, I don't know if you're at home
I don't know where you are or what area of life you're focusing on
but whatever fear you have, you have to learn how to face that fear
the best way to overcome it?
to look it straight in the face and say “it's my turn to take you down”
Listen to me as we close it out, as we close it out, don't miss these three points.
We're talking about creating challenges
We're talking about challenging yourself
stop looking for the easy way out
stop looking for the cheat code, the Staples easy button, right?
stop looking for the easy way, challenge yourself
and the three things you got to do is: one
set high specific but achievable goals
the second thing is you've got to learn how to get an early start to your day
and then the last thing listen
the best way to overcome those fears is to face your fears
