[Music] takes guts you got to dig down deep to gut it out keep on going again and again and again until you make it happen because you know that it's possible now what do you do during the hard times Les here's what you must do number one is you must have faith Paul said you must have the faith to call forth those things that be not as though they were judge not according to appearances don't judge your circumstances and the possibilities for your future based upon what you have now and because of what's going on

now no no no no that's not the real reality there what you're going through if you're going through some hard times it has not come to stay it has come to pass it's all right now second thing is repeat this after me something you should affirm to yourself every day repeat this please no matter how bad it is or how bad it gets I'm going to make it say that to yourself every day that's I used to say to myself I when I would get up in the pavot building and I had to go into

the bathroom and and bathe in the bathroom sink I had written on the mirror that I put up it just pasted up and I read no matter how bad it is or how bad it gets I'm going to make it so you've got to have faith you talk to yourself you say that affirmation the next step is you must have patience and engage in consistent action patience and engage in consistent action see everything does not always happen ladies and gentlemen when we want it to happen it doesn't happen quickly so in that process they have

something in the Far East called the Chinese bamboo tree the Chinese bamboo tree every day it has to be watered and fertilized it's a very hard nut and it takes 5 years of of watering and fertilization every day according to American Geographics before it breaks through the ground at any time if the watering CR process and the nurturing and the fertilization process is stopped the Chinese bamboo tree will die in the ground now once it breaks through in that fifth year then in 6 weeks it grows 90 ft tall now the question is does it

grow 90 ft in 5 years or 6 weeks the answer is obvious it takes 5 years that's how long it took to grow it to build that Foundation to nurture it to water it to build the reputation to build the credibility to learn the market to learn people to learn yourself to learn how to do it to figure it [Music] out that's why you must have patience and engage and consistent action we live in a world ladies and gentlemen where people want instant gratification they want it right now but they're not willing to pay the

Flies to do what it takes they think it was easy no no it's simple but it's not easy it's a system that if you work the system it works if you work it but make no mistake about it it's hard you are the determining Factor here's something else it's possible you can live your dream no matter how bad it is no matter how bad it is or how bad it gets or how bad it gets I'm going to make it I'm going to make I'm going to make it it's necessary that you have goals that

you write them down that you surround yourself with the support team that you are created it's you that you must take personal responsibility to make it happen the people that make it in this world look around for the circumstances that they want and if they can't find them they create them it's hard no easy is not an option how however ladies and gentlemen what you will discover is that it's worth it it's worth it I suggest to you if you want to become Diamond write down five reasons of why it is worth it for you

to become a diamond to experience that level of achievement what is it that will give you the drive what is it that willite the courage in you to get up and come back again and again and again how is it that you would be able what reasons that can tap in to that deep down feeling that goes to your gut that no matter how many times you'll get knocked down that you're coming back what is it write it down when I started and left Miami pursuing my dream because I knew that as long as you

work for someone else they are controlling your destiny I don't want anybody signing my paycheck but me I knew that it was going to be difficult I knew it was going to be hard but every time I thought about giving up and there were times I did because where I am ladies and gentlemen it's a long shot you think being a diamond is a long shot this is a miracle this is a long shot and I had people laughing at me Le you're talking about being a motivational speaker you failed twice in school they put

you back from the grade into the fourth grade and you fail in the eighth grade you've never worked for a major corporation and you are going to become independently wealthy right they laugh they're going to laugh at you people are going to laugh at you but let me tell you I I believe in Revenge like prings or not he said the best revenge is massive success it's a long shot being here with you today in this Dome in Atlanta it's a long shot but I kept running toward my dream don't [Music] stop don't stop don't

don't stop running toward your dream you can Live Your Dream as you hold on to that dream there are moments when you're going to doubt yourself their rough times are going to come but they have not come to stay they have come to pass it's not going to be easy as you go toward the future begin to know that you have greatness within you begin to Envision yourselves to reach your goals if you want a thing bad enough go out and fight for it work day and night for it give up your time your peace

and your sleep for it what if we have that kind of attitude the cars repossessed nobody believes in you you've lost again and again and again the lights are cut off but you're still looking at your dream reviewing it every day and say to yourself it's not over until I win [Music] [Applause] [Music]
