Everyone climbs a mountain and right when they're like, I can't go anymore, that last inch is going to make all the difference. And they give up. It's because one, they had a bad plan of action.
But two, they've lost the motivation. They're not seeing the visual representation of their effort being put out, so therefore they're like, f*ck it. I'm done.
You are going to come up against some moments in your life. I've been there. You're going to come up with some moments in your life.
Somebody told you it was over. Somebody told you that just go home and die. Somebody sent you home.
Somebody told you you'll never be a doctor. They sent you home. You failed.
They sent you home. Law school, they sent you home. Some wife, she told you, that's it.
I don't want to be married to you. Some husband, he told you, I don't want to be married to you. And he left.
Never give up. I need mental toughness. It's no reason to cry.
It's a reason to build. It's a reason to get stronger. It's a reason to get more intense.
It's a reason to get better. You need one more thing, one more check, one more something to put yourself in a position where you get hired. I don't care if it's fair or not.
It's what you got to do. And you can get through this. 'Cause you bigger than this.
You badder than this. You tougher than this. And when you get to the other side, you gonna be better.
You gonna be bigger. You gonna be bolder. You guys are saying you're doing everything right, and you're giving it your all.
Come on. Your all's a lot more than you know. You got more inside of you to give.
Stop selling yourself so short. We've come too far to quit now. When you're in the darkest place, when you feel like all is lost.
When you think there's no way to turn it around, remember this: Victory is near. I don't care if you have to inch your way, day by day. And it hurts, and it's hard, and nobody can see what you're really going through.
If you don't quit, the pit will become your platform. I'm telling somebody right now, your lowest moment, the place where you were that broken, will be the place of your greatest testimony. I am not phenomenally skilled, but phenomenally willed.
I will not give up. I will not surrender. I will not quit.
And your problem is you've giving up too easy. We've come too far. We've been through too much.
We've seen too much. We've had too many victories. We have seen defeat we've looked defeat in the face and we've overcome it.
We've come too far to be negative now. We've come too far to start overthinking now. Once we hit that wall, we don't quit, we don't give up.
We push a switch called will. And we start using our willpower. Yes, we're tired.
Yes, we're hungry. Yes, the mind is saying give up. Yes, it's saying quit.
But we cannot quit because we realize we have not reached the goal yet. This is not what I dreamed about, this is not what I said I was gonna do, this is not what it looks like. Mentally you must be there before you physically even start.
It's a mindset. That dream and success, I'm gonna meet. I'm gonna create it.
All I have to do is sweat for it, work for it, study for it, drive for it, believe in it. Never take no for an answer and never f*cking give up. When the winds of life don't hit your sail, you grab the f*cking oars of life.
And you start pushing your body, your boat, your vessel, into the harbor of a known point that you want to be. No one's gonna f*cking get you there, you gotta get yourself there, guys. When you leave the crowd, and you start to dream and express your best of world, you will be different.
And people don't like it if you're different. Every hero you guys have was called an idiot, crazy, a loser. They will try to tear you down, and they will try to mock you.
When you get to that point of frustration, of anger, that is tremendous fuel for you to go out and do the sh*t that you want to do. Your goal should be to become so f*cking successful in whatever it is that you're trying to do that all the people who said that sh*t to you, those motherf*ckers should look at the floor. One person with a belief overrides thousands of people with just intent.
The people that are hungry are willing to do the things today others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have. The spirit of resiliency, the spirit of grit, it's in your DNA. It's in your blood.
Overcoming is in your blood. Getting through adversity is in your blood. I need effort from you.
I need you to match whatever effort the enemy is putting up. Whoever your enemy is, match the doggone effort. This is what you do.
You are built for this.
