going to take you to the next level just because something's never been done before doesn't mean it can't be done it just means we haven't figured out a pathway on how to get it done and we will get it done this is it right here this is that moment that you got to work this is that moment when you got to push there is no weakness in the place of business think about your end goal think about what it's going to look like picture it in your mind see yourself already there stop praying that the

storm will pass over you and pray to grow through the storm what you go through you will grow through you simply have to give it everything you have to get it you need to shut down all negativity and frankly not giving what others say and think you're gonna do what you've been called to do you're gonna be what you call me you're gonna have and you're gonna prove to everybody that tried to break you you're gonna prove a wrong everybody trying to stop you everybody's trying to kill your dreams you're gonna prove all of them

wrong i don't care what the adversity has been you have two choices you can be unforgiving bitter angry upset and be a carrier of grief or you can choose resilience if you truly want to make change if you truly want that greatness you got to work hard you got to dig a little bit deeper you got to find it you want to test my resolve you want to test my ability to go to limit you want to see where his word is and mine begins this ain't no [ __ ] game this is my lifestyle

son shut up you talk entirely too much about your dream you talk too much about your goal say it once say it twice no more than three times and get to work you already know what it feels like to quit to throw in the town to sit on the couch do you know what it's like to give everything that you ah and push and persevere you got to make the opportunity happen you got to be fired up you got to be hungry for it you got to have the desire to push yourself are you here

work work work work run grind blind drive you should be a monster because everyone says well you should be harmless [Music] you don't want to be too aggressive you don't want to be too assertive you want to take a back seat no you should be a monster and then you should learn how to control it the definition of being aggressive is forceful and sometimes overly assertive pursuit of one's aims in combat almost nothing will happen the way you want it to if you don't force it that way the enemy nature time there's all kinds of

things that that are going against you it's a losing battle and if you don't use force of will then then you're not gonna get it done what it means is is you need to make things happen this is the good thing about being aggressive sure there's there's certain parts of your nature that are aggressive but it can also be trained you can start to think with an aggressive mindset which is i am going to take action i'm going to overcome obstacles i'm going to push through roadblocks i'm not going to take no for an answer

and those are things that you can train [Music] there's so often times where people they get told no or they hit an obstacle and it's game overflow they're just done they're done training they're over it [Applause] and your attitude you have to go okay little little roadblock cool how am i gonna get through how am i getting around it what i need you to do is evaluate yourself today evaluate yourself to see what you are in this race of life many of you don't even realize that you've been racing to the finish line this life

is a race some of you need to be pushed to start running because you've been walking or you haven't been moving for so long and you don't even know that you're in a race that all of us are competing to win but it doesn't matter where you finish it matters that you run after your goals and your dreams the way to live is to run after your dreams to run after your goals and to run after that finish line there may be things in your life right now that's holding you back from running but you

have to break through those things they're there to hinder you but you can't let it force you to stop running chase your dreams chase your goals i don't know the situation you're in right now but the situation that you're in is not your future it's not who you really are it's not your full potential the sky's the limit but it all starts from within it's all up to you you should be a monster you have to be hungry for greatness sometimes like most people i want to throw into town and just give up sometimes it

just feels like there's just no use there's just too much ground to cover i need to cover it so that i can get where i need to be i need to constantly remind myself over and over again i am not yet where i want to be but i know i'll get there i am not where i want to be but i am so grateful i am not where i used to be i am talking to those people that are just about to give up that are just about to lose all hope i am here ladies

and gentlemen to cheer you on to let you know that you you my friends are going to get there you are going to get that promotion you are going to complete that marathon and you are going to run for your life whatever you are working towards you are going to get there but you got to get crystal clear what it is you want what it is that you are seeking for what it is you truly want you must know you've got to know that you're going to get there but most importantly most importantly ladies and

gentlemen work like hell crack the ground and keep moving make the ground shake crack the world get it going don't let nothing stop you i am pleading with you when the rest of the world shuts you down you've got to be the one to stand up shout out cry out stay tall work hard dig deep and go after it [Music] there's nothing going to stop me if you didn't make me you can't break me if you didn't make the sun come up you can't stop me if you didn't make the moon shine at night you

can't stop me my purpose my will my dedication my motivation is all about doing the business because guess what ladies and gentlemen that's what i'm about i'm about that business i'm about that life what are you about i need to constantly remind myself [Music] i'm not yet where i want to be but i know i'll get there i'm not where i want to be but i am grateful [Music] i am so grateful that i'm not where i used to be [Music] it's time to get real it's time to get raw it's time to look ourselves

in the mirror and come to the resolve that this version of ourself is not going to carry us in the stretch i've been this version of myself long enough that if i don't change if i don't do something about this then i'm going to find myself bankrupt for me to understand for me to be better for me to be stronger i must learn to suffer a little bit i must learn to struggle a little bit i cannot reap the rewards of success without understanding about struggles success is not automatic you don't get things just because

you want them you achieve your goals only when you are disciplined enough to keep showing up when you don't feel like it you gonna put the blood you're gonna put the sweat you're gonna put the tears in you're gonna lose sleep you're gonna go days without eating you're gonna do whatever it takes to make the sacrifices necessary to man their best there are too many people in your life who have left you there are too many people in your life who have counted you out there are too many people in your life who have whispered

in your ear and said you'll be worse off without them prove them wrong the truth of the matter is how are you so emotionally injured so mentally drained so physically fatigued that you have allowed your dream your destiny to take a back seat to this excuse that you don't have what it takes that you're not smart enough that you're not tall enough that you're not wide enough that you're not deep enough that you're not connected enough that you don't know enough people you keep comparing yourself to that person and this person when will the excuses

stop when will you see your purpose bigger than your excuse i don't know your name but i know you have a dream i don't i don't know where you're from but where you're listening to me you may be listening to me in your closet your bedroom the gym the car the bus the train the plane i don't know where you're going but i know you are going somewhere you've got a destination people that make excuses are not connected to their destination they don't have an end game they don't have a goal you have allowed yourself

to become a weak link covered under the blanket of excuses but i'm just wondering if there's anybody here that has a dream and if you've made your excuses bigger than your dream the time is now supply pressure it may not be easy but it's not impossible this is not a i feel like it today this is not unmotivated for a week this is in every single day mentality you may have to work three times you may have to lose sleep you may have to go to college and raise five children and still maintain your marriage

and work your side hustle i don't know what your story is but if you will keep a no excuse mentality then the sky is not your limit the sky is your starting point this isn't every single day mentality i never get turned off every single day i want my destiny i want my dream when somebody is in love with who they've been called to become what they've been called to fulfill what they've been destined to do there is no day off there are no likeness i'm not a light switch you can't turn me off i

can never get turned off every single day i'm giving everything i had that's how big my dream is and so there's no excuse there's no pain there's no dilemma there are no speed bumps there's no distraction that can turn me off i'm not a light switch you can't turn me on i want this thing every single day for people that feel like they're wasting their time they're not getting the results they want what is one thing that they could be doing right now that would turn things around for them i think one of the things

is the way that we approach time this is something that almost no one talks about anymore so i feel like you may be behind you may actually be behind your destiny right now like maybe you're not on pace in fact i think most people watching this listening will say i am behind on achieving my destiny i'm not exactly sure what it is but i feel like it's slipping i feel like i'm behind so you better figure out time differently and you can bend and manipulate time to your advantage and so i about 25 years ago

when i'm not the most talented i'm not the smartest and i'm really not i don't come from you know a whole track record of success right i don't have the perfect upbringing how in the world am i going to win i got to do things other people aren't willing to do and i got to fix the way i look at time the most stupid antiquated ridiculous concept on planet earth today very well may be that a day is 24 hours it's so stupid it's the dumbest thing ever 24-hour days were contrived when there were no

cars there was no electricity if i wanted to get you a message i had to write something down if i could send it on a horse back hope you get it that's insane never mind the internet so it used to take hours days weeks months years to do can be done now in a millisecond in the internet or on our smartphones yet we measured the time the same way that guy did that's bananas that is so stupid and so my days now are from six a.m to noon that's a day it's six hours and in

that day some days you just chill but in that day i'm going to get the amount of productivity faith working out fitness money business you name it in that day we've all had a morning where we go i got more done this morning i have been weeks well why can't you do that every morning so i measure time i've compressed and condensed time i've bent it my day is six a.m to noon and i'm not crazy you're crazy for thinking it takes 24 hours just like some dude in a cave did 300 years ago and

it's unfair that people have taught you this my second day starts at noon and goes till 6 p.m that's day two but what the cool thing is at the end of day one this clock goes off about noon every day bro and goes what did i just get done what didn't i do what do i need to be accountable for what do i need to double my efforts just like you do at the end of most days right and then the next day is 6 pm to midnight and some of those are just fun days

sundays i chill right but some days they're really super productive what i've done now is i have changed a manipulated time i now get 21 days a week stack that up over a month i'm gonna kick your butt stacked it up over a year your toast stack it up over five years my entire life is different than it would have been otherwise and if you do this for about 90 of your traditional days that you think are you will come back to me and go that profoundly impacted my life here's the other thing that happens

the world responds to you differently when you value your time like that what is precious is valuable that's why a diamond or this watch is way more expensive than the piece of paper that's written down there because it's more scarce when your time when you interact with the world is slightly more scarce they respond to you as if you're more valuable so you get more accountability more productivity more fun more joy and the world flips its response to you all of a sudden you become more valuable and precious to people when your time is different

and you'll get thousands more days in your life and live a much more blissful and happy life than the person who only gets 24 hours i'm not coach right now i'm your conscience you're in a fight between will and skill i say will first because that's where you are you locked and loaded with skill you practicing every day you're putting in your work you're buying everything you're making an investment you're living your dream you walking like your dream you're surrounding yourself around your dream you got mentors everything you put in your working you got your

skill now it's a test of your will it's a mindset thing you in right now it's a mindset thing because your challenge your challenge ain't moving your mountain it's not moving you don't feel like you're making any progress you're not physically moving when you see everything else around you and other people around you moving you not making progress you're in the test of your will right now because life says it has a little more test for you you can look at your challenge with skill and it will see it just as that a challenge where

you can look at your challenge with will and see it as much understand this and listen to me clearly you may forget this face you may forget this voice you may forget who told you but get your pads out don't ever forget these words that i'm about to tell you if you want to be great in this life you only have one choice gentlemen you only have one choice you can make choices that just get you remembered or you can make choices that ultimately make you a legend if you put as much time into working

on winning as you put into thinking about losing you'd already be a champion when we gonna get tired of just knowing and seeing successful people and become one of them time is out to sit up here just make these average decisions to be make these irrelevant decisions that don't change you don't change your family don't change society don't change your environment don't change the world it's time to make decisions that make you a legend we see it every day but the only difference baby [Music] you gonna make a choice to just be remembered are you

gonna make a choice to become a legend you gotta stop quitting we gotta stop giving up all this t-g-i-f-t-g-i-f it is now t-g-i-a thank god i'm alive when we open our eyes and we're not right-minded we live as though we really appreciate that opportunity and every time i see a post every time i see a tweet or just anything i want to ask the person why are you thanking god it's friday hello newsletter tomorrow is saturday the day after that is sunday the day after that is monday what are you thanking god it's friday for

because you're preparing to quit you're preparing to stop what you're doing you prepared the clock out you're prepared to go home and you're in the mental mindset to do nothing i dare you to get prepared for the challenges of your life by by getting rid of comfort i dare you i identity when you find that job that fit if you don't have a ride or work that you want and then when you get there you take the stairs i dare you not to check your brain baby i dare you to work through your lunch i

dare you when it's hot that you work faster when it's cold you work longer i dare you to learn something new today that you didn't know yesterday i dare you to i dare you to run past that child i dare you to face that person i dare you to look at it and say look i'm more than this right now i can handle it i dare you to look at your outfit look like a mountain i dare you to stop running from it i dare you to stop throwing away food because you scared me don't

eat it at night babies you cannot get what you want in your life by being horrible comfort is failing us [Music] many of you are denied your dream and your goal because you have a consistency versus an intensity problem consistency is when you do something intensity is how you do something and that's why many of you no matter what you do no matter how much you do it no matter who you looking at no matter what you read you don't be denied because you think that just being consistent at something is going to let you

win it just that earns you the right to win that i'm being denied that corner office i'm being denied that card being denied this quality of life i'm being denied that opportunity scholarship i keep getting cut off the team you know if i just stay if i just keep practicing and i just stay around this team sooner or later i'll make it no you won't no you won't because consistency does not guarantee you the win many of you is as bad as you don't want to accept this you're never gonna win because you're not intense

enough and until you get intense to the point that nothing nothing will get in your way that you will not get in your way you'll never win the reason why you give people so much value is because if you give them so much value they'll never leave you they'll always be fit up definitely and you will never need for anything as long as you give vote value to people and so i learned that as i got older that part really didn't make sense to me at the time but the money working for you part and

i was like what the how do you make your money work for you again all i know is how to go get money that's all i know so later on in that he says bulky people do three things so this may be in a cell for about 45 days every conversation with him about money and transitional is always wealthy people do so he says wealthy people first they get into stocks then they start a business and then they get real estate so if when people ask me how do i get into stocks it's because i

follow that rule and so i just my my rest of my time in prison i wanted to be that i wanted to be a part of that wealthy conversation and so what happened to me was it started reminding me of being in the streets everything about it and i heard this term one time i said the real gangsters are on wall street the real gangsters are in the government and i was like damn the reason why people think wealthy people are people with money or sinister is because that's what you kind of taught in the

hood like you kind of talked like the people who really have money like they did some wicked to get it they did some backstabbing cut get it and you'll never get that right and so that same mentality now happens on a lower level right the hustling the dope dealing so now you think like yo i gotta just do sinister to get money and then the people who are successful in the drug game they're looking at the people at the top like damn i want to be that but the people at the bottom will never get

a taste of that and so now we just kind of living off ambition and so now the people who in the middle who work in they're like all them people with money they all crooks they all because being at the bottom teaches you to envy people at the top it just happens it's a it's something that brews down there right it's kind of like you cook i don't know if you had gumbo before right but it's kind of when you cook food right the base goes to the bottom and so most people live in that

bottom never knowing how they'll get up there right i remember so when i was working in the inner cities i remember having this moment where i was like wait a second this is not an intelligence problem intelligence is evenly distributed like in i remember saying to my wife the next thing elon musk is going to be found somewhere in compton the problem is he doesn't believe in himself and so he's not going to do anything and so i became obsessed with this idea that generational poverty is not about money it's about mindset now it will

manifest as money but it is that so i remember i had one kid come to me and and i was the first person that told him you can be successful like what the why do you not think you can be successful it didn't even make sense to me and he was like well my mom always told me that the world didn't want to see people that look like me succeed i was like i'm sorry what i'm like even if your mom had good intentions that is the worst advice ever because if you think you can't

be successful that will govern the way that you move right so kobe bryant people that have listened to me for a while have heard this quote a thousand times but booze don't block dunks the world the world can hate you all they want but if you're good enough think about this the best basketball players in the world were paid millions of dollars to stop kobe bryant from scoring and the scored 81 points in a single game 81 points when you've got five people paid millions of dollars actively trying to stop you and they can't because

you've gotten that good that to me is the game of money people can not want you to succeed all they want but if you out invest them they can't stop you so if people are not encouraging you to read you're not going to read what happens is now no one now believes that it's possible once you keep passing that down you start accepting the lower level and then there's a few of us or a few people who said no i'm a outlier you're like i'm about to go for it and then whatever happens i'm with

it you feel me so for me again one of the greatest things that happened to me was my mother telling me like the world is raw and you got to get how you live but i also saw my grandmother be a legal entrepreneur so i saw it from both worlds so while i'm in prison i i pick up a habit of reading that was the game changer for me on the streets i never had the opportunity to just sit down and read because i'm always trying to survive in prison there was no longer a survivor

mode there i started hustling in prison so i was working in the laundry and so your clothes don't really get clean so i found a hustle like yo i'll wash your clothes when we do it but it's five dollars or 25 a month so that gave me a whole another set of money and then i started being like a numbers dude how vegas have the numbers the betting i became a numbers guy so i used to get up in the mornings and watch cnbc so why you people in prison they love to watch the young

and arrested and so i would have to get up before them to watch like squawk box jim cramer and i'd be like damn all this money and they not risking their life something got to change for me something got to change and so i just started listening to them every day and i started comparing it to the streets a good business is just like a good hustler a good business has great product they have great clientele a great hustler has a great product he has consistent clientele a good business on the stock market has what's

called a moat a competitive edge that keeps his competitors away a good hustler on the street is going to have that competitive edge where they'd be like nah yo i ain't rocking you i'ma just waste a trap come back right so there's the competitive edge a good business has a good branding my name is good right so a good hustler on the street yo trap got that blue magic i'm good on you like if i can't get trapped i'm gonna just go try but i've got that blue magic that's what i'm rocking with brandon mo

right that's it a great business on the stock market has more assets more liquidity than debt a good hustler on the street is if you don't learn how to fund your business if you're operating well all you have is re-up money you're not going to last long so those components reminding me the same in the in the stock market uh in the world if a company's paying terrors that's the equivalent to a a dude on the street going paid draft to go hustling somebody hood like you can't hustle over here unless you pay me draft

it's the same as a terror it's the same thing yeah so once i understand once i broke the game down to a way that i can understand it it wasn't about me just being brilliant it was like how do i make the game winnable for me like once you start understanding the fundamentals you give yourself power because you now understand like you said you see how the machine works right and so most people look at the machine and marvel and say either i'm like most people look at the stock market most 98 of the people

who i know look at the stock market say yo that's not a game i can play i'm staying away from it and so the ways the way it's set up is the world is set up well listen cool i don't even want you to play just give me your money i'll play it for you so we look at like banks like we understand that banks don't necessarily work in our favor right so banks only give us 0.05 percent interest on the money we have there but we can get eight percent just by putting our money

in the index fund so why would i just set my money in the bank and let the bank make all the money because all they gonna do is invest the money for you so they now operating as the plug they operate now as the man who i'm gonna front you this i'm gonna make my money i'm gonna take the cut i'm gonna give you just enough to keep coming back i'm gonna go to the plug who's the plug the stock market the relationship with money in my community is you make money just enough to pay

bills and so once you get tired of paying bills you say you know what i need to treat myself to something right no matter if i got to go in debt no matter who i go i need to treat myself to something to take this misery away so you treat yourself to something that you can't afford at the time right but it makes you feel good in the moment and so because it makes you feel good you say you know what i'm living this is a reprieve from everyday struggle but that's the mindset comes in

and say everybody around me had the same problem no one represented the solution so if i don't change something i'm only going to end up like everybody else i know somebody has the solution somewhere there's too many people out here living the life of their dreams that i'm watching they know something i don't know and the only thing that they had was access to a different type of information in 2010 this after i'm home from prison right i'm home from prison um i'm back in the streets hustling because even though i have the information i

don't have the money right and i'm like well i got to get the money my dog gets kicked in in 2010 they get eight pounds a week ten thousand dollars yeah by the cops eight thousand eight pounds we eat ten thousand dollars a 223 a 40 with extended clip and a bean and a hundred x pills so the cop tells me you ain't heard your lesson but you learn your lesson and i was like damn that wasn't right like i got knowledge i got information but i still felt victim to the same that everybody around

me knew so therefore the knowledge that i had wasn't powerful because it wasn't applied so i was fortunate god bless me um i wind up getting found not guilty because it's called fruit of a poisonous treat so they kicked in my door but they didn't have probable cause because they stopped me and my truck didn't find nothing on me so they went to my house kicked the door and with no search warrant so now everything you find is null and void so now i get into the robbing game so now i start robbing doe dealers

and i got in a situation where um i was good at it me and my partner god blesses so and then one day i almost got killed and i go to my part and i say bro like i said done deal but when they kick my door in something happened so they took my truck they took my money but they didn't mess with my stock account i said oh okay start working as an iron worker building stadiums building power plants it's crazy because i was making good money two thousand dollars a week that's good money

that's something like yo two thousand dollars a week yo that's it two thousand twenty five hundred like it was amazing i started saving and investing seventy percent of my money i was living bare minimum i was like if i'm a change i got to make like the hard choices it's hard for people to make sacrifice because you got to now go go against and do without some of the things that gives you that momentary gratification that simple that ah that's what keeps you alive that's what keeps you going just to go on vacation one time

a year to get these pair of shoes that may cost me a thousand dollars i know i can't afford them but i've worked so hard i need that just to keep giving me something you have a phrase wall street looks like us well she looks like us now there's another phrase you say but you should like put that same like stamp on it is i own that i own that because you talk about stocks in a way that sounds so rad where it's like you refer to yourself as an owner of the company yes and

and the thing is it actually is true like you're not playing a linguistic game it is true but people don't think about it like that but it's so much more powerful than having a cool pair of kicks is to say i own the company that makes those kicks or i own the company that makes that phone or you know tim cook the ceo of apple works for me i'm a shareholder right it's uh it's really really powerful explain that basic idea of ownership for people that might not quite put it together that stocks really are

owning that company so i actually got that term from warren buffett um in one of his meetings want to say it was a 1995 shareholder meeting and he said that um he owned great owning a stock is like is owning a percentage of a great business and so once i understood that concept i understood that the key to wealth is through ownership the people who aren't wealthy is because they don't own nothing you only have your money sitting in cash if your money is just sitting in cash realistically you're becoming poorer every day right or

they own depreciating assets and that's what cash is it's a depreciating asset because the more money they print the more money that money loses value so if it's just sitting it's the reason why the bank wants you to have your money there so they can take it and use it and invest it so much and be like hey this is sitting i'm gonna give you 50 cents on whatever you had in there and so the idea of ownership was you know we can just start owning everything that we no matter if it just a stock

like that's powerful because if you can start owning the businesses that you now consume every day you turn a one-time transaction to a lifetime of profit and that was major for me because if i go to the store and buy a pair of nikes that's a one-time transaction in order for me to get something from them again i got to come back and buy another pair of nikes but if i own the nike stock long as i own it it's a profitable um vehicle for me so that one time transaction can become a lifetime of

profit if i own that business if i'm gonna buy apple if i know i'm an apple user if i know i got the phone i got the error pods i got the macbook i got the pc i got excited when apple was about to drop something why wouldn't i own it as much of it as i can right like if i if i understand that concept if i know people gonna america has one of the biggest trash problems in the world right so if i know that waste management is a company that's going to be

here forever because we aren't going to stop throwing things away why don't i own that company because i know everybody throws things away and so now instead of me getting excited about apple lime being around the corner because it's a new phone i'm like yo y'all have to make me some money right so when i hear kind of like waste management has bought 40 acres of disposable land for another landfill i'm excited about that and another great thing about the stock market is for me it now makes me pay attention to the world and so

now i understand what's going on in the world i started learning business cycles market cycles you know i'm like because now i can understand yo this is okay things are going out of business it's okay we're in this cycle okay people are hiring okay we're an expansion cycle and so now i started to take i took an economic class on my own without just understanding the world and so you start understanding when something is happening in china okay something happened in china so i own apple apple has 20 of the revenue in china okay they

might take a little hit right now you know what i'm saying so the stock market helped me start understanding how the world moves the fundamentals knowledge is what gives us leverage in life it's not about how strong you are it's about what you can learn and then how can you actively apply that i have this acronym called fear um finally exiting average reality right and what happens is until we can overcome the fear some people actually fear success success comes with a lot right but until you can overcome that average reality that you're living it

no matter what you're on once you become comfortable there it becomes average anyone can live an average everyone can live in mediocrity right then there's those outliers who consistently push themselves to go to the next level and to think about the human mind and the human body it will go as far as you push it as long as you believe in it like you said the only belief that matters is what do you believe you can do i personally believe that there is nothing i cannot do and for me it's all about impact purpose fulfillment

like the money is a byproduct of everything else that isn't my focus my focus is i have a knowledge and information that i know that can change lives not just one life not just like lives and so the way that you change lives is by consistently learning finding new ways to put that information out there being able to open up being able to be vulnerable because people need to connect people connect to knowledge in the way that they can see two things that help people imagery and vocabulary so for me it's always about how do

i attain as much it's always a challenge for me how can i attain as much knowledge as i can because i love learning but then how do i take that and be able to now reciprocate it or give it to somebody who may not understand calculus a trigonometry but if i can give it to them in this way they can say oh yeah i got it and there's more people that struggled in the world that has become successful so struggle has to become a language that i'm i struggle so that's the language i'm great at

so if i can break down things into a struggle language now i make it the game winnable for everybody in this very moment all you have is all you need what would you like to do what do you believe you've been destined to do sometimes you have to fall back into the dark room and focus on you you have a date with destiny you have unfinished business it's time for you to go back to the drawing board with a new perspective if you can see it you can have it i am clutch i am the

difference maker i am the game changer i must work out x amount of times a week i must forgive i must evolve i must become i must retain i must grow i must live i must evolve i must go to the next level i must live in this type of house i must drive this type of car perspective is what changes the game stop complaining about the divorce stop complaining about those job loss are you going to complain in the face of conflict or are you going to seize the opportunity what if losing your job

what's the opportunity what if the divorce is an opportunity what if the bankruptcy is an opportunity what if the one you love was an opportunity for you to reconnect with somebody and forgive them something inside of you that's a snap you got to get tired of being broke i'm talking to that person who grew up without a father i'm talking to that person that is acquainted with pain i'm talking to that person that knows what it's like to come from nothing and so you literally have nothing to lose and the only thing that's in your

hand is a dream the only thing that's in your head is i have what it takes to get to the top of that hill you must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain there will be many giants in your life there will be depression there will be anxiety there will be oppression there will be stress there will be overwhelm will you buckle under the pressure or will you rise to the occasion you are not dead yet you may be tired but you are not dead you may be broken

but you are not dead you may be weary but you are not dead you have an opportunity to rise above what happened to you you got to make it up in your mind that all you have is all you need i know it hasn't been easy it's time to win [Music] consider this your wake-up call what most people fail to realize is that pain is inevitable and it is unavoidable there is no path in life without pain whatever it is that you're going after whoever it is that you've been destined to become you cannot have

it you will not become it without pain you will face challenges and difficulties and giants regardless if you are single if you are married if you are a stay-at-home mom a stay-at-home father if you are an entrepreneur if you're working a nine-to-five if you're an educator if you are an athlete if you are a musician a singer a producer it doesn't matter who you are what you are doing pain is inevitable if i'm gonna hurt like this if i'm gonna bleed like this if i'm gonna cry like this let me cry because i'm in the

best shape of my life let me cry because i'm conditioned to weather the uphill war let me cry because i'm building my relationship i'm building my business i'm building my legacy let me cry because it hurt but there is a reward on the other end of my pain let me cry tears because i passed the test because i gave it everything i had choose your heart everything in life comes with hardship make a decision some juncture you will encounter pain and the moment that you get acquainted with pain you get acquainted with hardship you realize

that no matter what you do no matter how much you study no matter how much you plan you will not be able to avoid a measure of pain i don't care what it is losing weight i don't care what it is a new eating paradigm a new relationship paradigm new thoughts new behaviors it doesn't matter what you're after what you're looking to become if you don't go to the gym it's gonna hurt you if you go to the gym it's gonna hurt you your muscles are gonna tear but on the other side of that pain

there is a reward there isn't any regrets you won't regret taking care of your body on the other side of making those healthy decisions there is a reward it's the reward of discipline it's the reward of longevity it's the reward of influence it's the reward of power do you want results do you want a reward or do you want regrets the decision is yours it's all hard so choose your heart pain is inevitable and it is unavoidable pick your pain [Music] everybody's got a plan until life knocks them out because we weren't ready for the

pain and when the pain came we did not process it processing pain is a skill set you've got to acquire it's a type of currency if you want the future if you want next level if you want tomorrow if you want to manifest if you want this thing i don't care what it is then you're gonna have to get acquainted with pain the pain of discipline the pain of growth the pain of learning the pain of giving the pain of forgiving it all hurts so pick your pain choose your heart because at some juncture in

life at some corner you're going to turn you are going to encounter pain and you've got to process that pain well hear me when i say it pain is unavoidable it's hard to let go of the past it's hard to give sometimes of your time your talent and your treasure it's hard to balance work life it's hard to acquire new skills it's hard to be stagnant it's hard to be a workhorse it's hard to be lazy it's hard to learn how to manage and cultivate relationships it's hard to learn from your experiences it's hard to

turn your mess into your message it's all hard it's hard to hold on it's hard to let go but there's a reward on the other end of many of these hardships you better choose reward or regret there is always reward and regret attached to every decision that you make hope hold on pain ends pain does have an expiration date and when that pain ends another one will surface but you will be strong enough because you endured the current pain well everybody wants resurrection but nobody wants the pain of dying to themselves there's a pain that

hurts you and there's a pain that changes you so today all i want you to do is make a decision to choose your heart [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you
