You thought you were just gonna have a dream and a goal,
And you were just gonna wake up
and just walk into the sunset.
You're like, dream, boom.
It don't work like that.
You have a dream, and then life punks you.
Life punks you and says,
do you really want this?
You're gonna lose friends,
do you really want this?
Do you really want this?
Cousins are gonna abandon you,
people that you used to be like this with
gonna think you boujee and not wanna deal with you.
It's a part of it.
But I paid too much.
And so I'm telling y'all,
you have come too far to quit now.
You have invested too much to quit now.
You have lost too much to quit now.
get a reward for your pain
Don't cry about it,
don't whine about it,
get a reward for it
If you give up on your dream, what's left?
because the people who accomplish
their dreams and this world
stopped telling people about them and started showing them
they never once gave up
on a dream just because of the amount
of time it took to accomplish it.
No, they knew that the time
was going to pass anyway.
Every single successful person that
accomplished a dream will tell you
that as soon as you truly start
pursuing your dream,
your life wakes up and everything has meaning
You need to know without a shadow of a doubt
that it's going to happen.
And when you believe wholeheartedly,
then there's no need to call it a dream.
That's all I want you to do
When you look at your dream,
you say to yourself every day, it's possible.
You say that every day to yourself, it's possible.
You start right here.
And when do you start?
You start right now
because the idea isn't going to execute itself
and the book isn't going to write itself
and the weights out in the gym,
they're not going to move themselves.
You have to do it and you have to do it now.
Get that goal, get that dream.
And I'm just been telling you,
drive it and drive it and drive it and drive it.
What I've been talking about is consistency.
There is no excuse
for not living up to your fullest potential.
No excuse.
You got to focus on you.
And as you convince you,
as you sell yourself every day,
every day
you will begin to see a difference
in the things that you're doing.
Telling yourself every day
"Here I go again
and I got what it takes."
"This is my day
And nothing out here is going to stop me."
You, me, or nobody
is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard ya hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit
and keep moving forward.
How much you can take and keep moving forward.
That's how winning is done!”
Now if you know what you're worth,
then go out and get what you're worth,
but you gotta be willing to take the hits,
and not pointing fingers saying
you ain't where you wanna be
because of him, or her, or anybody.
Cowards do that and that ain't you.
You're better than that!
