THE HARDEST WORKER IN THE ROOM - Motivational Speech by Greg Plitt

[Music] you know there comes a day man everyone's going to have this day there comes a day where being average being mediocre is just sickening to you it's just sickening it makes you want to throw up because you've seen people with far less Talent than you as you're growing up with them their childhood buddies whatever else they didn't have what you had yet now they're become something that you haven't there comes that day it's either when you're young you know and and it strikes you on the baseball field cuz you're sick of striking out or

it's it's when you get fired from your fifth job you know and your wife and kids are on your ass cuz they don't know how to support you anymore there comes a day where push comes a shove where being mediocre being like average and just burns and sucks so much you can't deal with it one more day and you get off your ass and you create something it's always been there it's always been inside of you trying to come out but you've never wanted to unwrap it cuz there too much pain and commitment you were

scared you going to fail you're were scared if you started you never finish it you didn't want to tell anyone about it you knew it was there but you never wanted to embark on it until something hits you get fired or somebody else gets success remind you what you could have been and then theing spark is born and no matter what happens I'm never going to be in this boat again and you get up and you go even it gets knocked in you just keep going keep going you're a wild man and life has never

been so sweet it's time to unwrap the potential you can be it's within you it's within every single one of us and the people that have risen to that level were no different than any one of us it's just they believed it and they willing to work their ass off to get it it wasn't about the potential it wasn't about the genetics it was about the perseverance and it was about being the hardest worker in the room that's what got them there and it didn't happen overnight they got knocked down more than they ever stood

up but they kept going and kept going and kept going and kept going cuz what else is the alternative to be average again that sucks man and it really sucks when you've tasted success at one point in your life when you go out and you train hard to play baseball and you connect and you hit the winning home run you want to feel that way again when you taste these Finer Things of Life all the pain all the work all the sacrifice to get them is well worth it if anything it's a small down payment

for the price and the reward you got and that feeling once felt how do you ever turn your back on it stop running from the potential of what you can be guys it's inside of you it's always been there and I'll never accept mediocre again I'm always going to give it my 110 % that's the only thing I can ever say a solid day's work that's all that will ever find peace in if you guys do not do that I promise you your life will haunt you for the rest of your days if there's potential

inside of you which you know it's there but you're too scared to tell anyone else about it and you go on and on get older and older and older and older and the windows of our tunity start to close and you knew it could have been given birth to but you never did it I promise you it will haunt you it's a living nightmare dude that fact that you have the ability to do something and you're too weak to turn the key and start the engine on it is a greater disappointment and a greater burden

to carry than any of this physical Sweat Equity or pain in the gym or or or sacrifice all that is just nothing compared to a life where you're burdened by regret guys it doesn't matter about the past it's today what are we doing today or we going to engage now and once we engage we commit there's no half commitment There's No Quarter commitment there's no three qu it's full commitment once we engage it's every day we engage cuz that's the better life it's your option though what are you going to do we're here to get

stronger in order to get stronger we must fail accept that know that that who we are right now is not who we are but where we are we're going forward with the belief believe in the difference you can be don't stop being average when your potential is CR trying to come outside of be more than that two forms of pain pain that breaks you and the pain that changes you that's the pain of the change right there that's a pain of progress the pain that destroys you isn't this it's later in life knowing you could

have been more and all that's left is you and the mirror and tears of a possibility left that you allow to die own your life guys you have every opportunity there's no excuse not to be the hardest mother worker in the room and all your endeavors schoolwork the gym your career your relationship your name's attached to it it's got to mean more than anything that's your name it's all you got don't sell out that pain you feel that's a pain of success you must be willing to shoulder that pain to get the success success is

something that's a very lonely path in this world cuz few are willing to make that down payment of pain for that futur of success the better to life very few are and when you get the success what comes with that is many many that love you but the majority will hate you for it because your success is a spotlight shining down when there missed opportunities where they came up short where they didn't quite have it inside and never went back to revisit it where failure is what stood instead of improving failure for Success failure is

part of the recipe for Success you fail a thousand times before you succeed every single person has it's it's the losers that fail once and quit every winner has done failed the loser and the winner both fail it's just that the winner gets back up and does it again you know I I I love challenging days man I really do like today it's balls hot in there I don't know if the air conditioning here is broken but every fans is running right now you know not many people were there today you know it's another day

to improve but because it's too hot oh I can't do it you know and and it's such a good lesson to life because when is it ever going to be the ideal situation for you to run your course or start your action or pursue your endeavors it's never going to be ideal it's never going to be this perfect storm of opportunity for you to say okay this is the time it's never going to broadcast it and highlight it for you it starts when you put one foot in front of the other and if you're going

to use like excuses sure it's hot as outside that might be too much for a lot of people but for a lot of other people you know what's to be is more exciting and overrides whatever today trials and tribulations are and when you can do that man when you start seeing the future willing to sacrifice today for that kind of opportunity to mature into a reality man you're really thinking the right way you're that person that sees the journey ahead as yes we still have a long way to go but man we sure have come

a long way up to now most people quit because they focus on how far to go still never realizing how far they've already come in perspective it's not that much further it's not that much further but if you're not if you're thinking wrong and thinking you know and weighing all your decisions on like the the temporary Comfort levels of heat or you're tired or the jobs on your ass or the the girlfriend or your husband boyfriend whatever is on your ass or all these little kind of nitpicky things I think they're test really when you

find yourself going down a road and like everything's kind of going wrong I think that's when they're testing you to see if you're ready for the responsibility of greatness because with great respons me know great achievement comes that responsibility that everyone's going to be looking at you and judging you and picking you apart and trying to break you down are you strong enough for all that yes you're capable of achieving it but are you mentally strong enough to endure it so when I see all these like random things going wrong in my life like he

man why is everything going wrong what the did I do to cause all these problems you know part of me thinks it's like it's like the Calm before the storm in a way making sure you're equipped mentally to endure what you're about to achieve physically or to achieve with you know title wise or whatever that may be so think of it that way when I say commitment and belief has to be unparallel it's either you're in or you're out what that means is that if you are in and you believe in yourself no one can

change that the weak of the world are committed when the when everything's in a perfect setting but as soon as things get hard they start having doubts and why are there doubts not because they're failing because other people are saying stuff and they're giving value to these third party people as if they're going to help them no one's going to help you you've got to help yourself and I hate to say this you really can't trust anyone but yourself and if you trust yourself and you bet on yourself you'll never lose but if you start

to put someone else's efforts in the equation of success to your own individual path you're going to be sadly mistaken on what comes from that path don't allow anyone else's opinion voice actions to dictate what's going on and if you really want to avoid all the critics in your life then do nothing say nothing and be nothing and you never get their attention but if you are something and you're doing something you become something guess what you get their attention and that pisses them off because they could never be what you are now so the

only they can do to make some feel good is try to bring you the down I say thank you for that thank you for acknowledging the fact that I'm doing something CU I don't know who the you are you seem to know who I am you know you must hope and believe in yourself if you ever want to see what that hope can turn into that belief can turn into by doing this every day repetitively those are the measures that lead to the big moments of success that everyone sees in life no one sees a

struggle in here no one sees a hardship the early mornings you get up no one sees any of that they see if your hands raised or not and if it is oh what a great guy I wish I could be that guy wish I could be that guy but they're not capping wishing they could be you at 5: in the morning when you get out bed when it's pissing rain outside to come and train for that hand to be raised they don't want to be that guy they just want the glory and that's the differential

of a champion you know in adversity guys is where you find character Champions aren't found on the podium with their hand up no Champions are found in the lab studies the thousands of hours of hard work when no one's watching that's what makes the will Unstoppable when you're in here where no one else is and you're pushing yourself harder than anybody with no one around how you hold yourself in the small things of Life build the character winning blocks of the things that we're remembered for it begins right now with no one looking man and

how you hold yourself how you see yourself what do you do when no one's watching
