life is hard she's hard when when you are 49 years old when working on a job for 17 years and they come in and tell you your finish and give you one week severance pay and you got started all over again it's hard when you'e merited raising children and your children are crawling and your husband dies unexpectedly it's not handling just the tragedies of life it's hard when you're working on something in and you put everything you have in it and it doesn't work how'd you lose your money and other people's money it's hard it
was rough when I lost my job and I could not find a job it was humiliating and embarrassing borrowing money and then I couldn't pay the money back when I told them I would that's rough how people look at you how they respond to you it's very hard it's humiliating here's what I discovered that happens to you in life that you will go through things and while you're going through them you can't understand why it's happening to you but after you go through it you get back and you look at it then you say oh
now I understand why I needed that lesson have you ever happened to you is you've never happened to you but that I did I couldn't understand it there but after I got through it then I saw that that was prepared me for bigger and better things as you'll go through the challenges of life and you look at it and embrace whatever comes to you don't run from it step toward it don't try and duck it like most people do see most people want it easy seem easy come easy what go see but when you go
at what you're going to deal with and you deal with the difficulties of it when you handle those hard things close at hand making those hard decisions right now that you don't want to make learning those things that you don't like to do but you know that in order for you to get where you want to go this is one of the hoops that you have to flip through and I'm saying to you whatever you got to do do it because if you don't life is gonna whoop you until you surrender and say okay all
right all right all right all right co-op with it okay I'll learn okay ahead wear me out a long time so if it's hot then do it hard now you how do you hang in there during the hard difficult times lest you must have faith you've got to believe in yourself you've got to believe in your abilities you got to believe in your service your company your ideas unquestionably you got to have faith and that faith gives you patience that is not going to happen as quickly as you want it to happen a lot of
things gonna happen that will catch you off guard and so therefore you've got to deal with and handle it as it comes and not only that but that faith and patience drives you into action you've got to keep moving and keep plugging away and the Far East they have something that's called the Chinese bamboo tree the Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to grow they have to water and fertilize the ground where it is every day and it doesn't break through the ground until the fifth year but once it breaks through the ground within five
weeks it grows 90 feet tall now the question is does it grow 90 feet tall in five weeks or five years the answer is obvious it grows 90 feet tall in five years because at any time and that person stopped watering and nurturing and fertilizing that dream that bemble tree would have died in the ground and I can see people coming out talking to a god of their watering and fertilizing the ground that's not showing anything hey what you doing even I did a long time there and the conversation in the neighborhood is you go
on a Chinese bamboo tree that right yeah that's right well even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can see ain't nothing show you know that's not people gonna do you so how long you been working on this how long have you been working on your dream it's good and you have nothing to show up this is all you've got to show people don't do that to you and some people ladies and gentleman they stop because they don't see instant results it doesn't happen quickly hey stop oh no no no you got to keep on watering your
dream and when it began to happen they stopped laughing they said look whoa look it's okay man you know I know you can do it look good you got a job here see doing those hard times we don't know how you're gonna make payroll doing those times when you fail and and and things didn't work out they were there were nowhere to be found know what I discovered when you're working at your dream somebody's at the heart of the battle the sweeter the victory always sweet to you it's good to you I see when you
when it's hard there's a struggle see what you become in the process is more important in the dream that's far more important the kind of person you become the character that you built the courage that you develop the faith that you're manifesting oh it's it's something that you get up in the morning you look yourself in the mirror you're a different kind of person you walk with a different kind of spirit people know that you know what life is that you have embrace like universe ha but you did it [Applause]
