CHANGE YOUR MIND - Motivational Speech Compilation

[Music] you have to lose your fear of failure failure is a part of the process people who never fail never try you have to fail you got to get it wrong to get it right you learn nothing from winning you only learn from your failures no matter what's going on in your life is not permanent everything is going to change life doesn't happen to you we all think that life happens to me right life happens for you it happens for you I mean opportunities will come to you every day it's either for you you can

remain scared of the opportunities or you can embrace them and take them but I finally realized that if you give up on your dreams if you give up on your dreams what do you have left nothing I can't live that way way you know what a great opportunity is for growth a job you hate you might not enjoy your job do you know that's why they pay you they pay you to be there because they know you don't like it that's the exchange that's what's going on there and it doesn't matter if you don't like

it be awesome at it get up and do what you're supposed to do that's it and that's discipline it's not motivation if you only did what you were supposed to do when you were motivated to do it that's leaving it to chance but if you're disciplined you go do what you're supposed to do that's the way it works you can think about it you can wish for it you can hope for it you can can think all about it all as long as you want but unless you get out every single mothering day and put

in the work inch by inch by mother inch you will never get there get back to your work it's time to get back to work stop hearing yourself talk get off the podcast don't be on social media too much cut out all theing noise get back to the mental lab cuz that's where the knowledge came [Music] from I don't care if you have to inch your way day by day even if you have to get down 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 if you don't fail you're not even trying to get something you never had you have to do something you never did don't complain don't talk negative that's a average people talk normal average people talk problems the greates talk Solutions average people use their time to whine and complain average people say it's their boss fault it's their mother's fault I used to be average I used to say when is my daddy coming to get me when is my biological father going to come in my life and while I would talk like

that I end up getting kicked out of school and while I talk like that I end up being homeless and while I talk like that I was broke and then one day I woke up and said Eric nobody's coming to save you nobody's coming to get you but you can go to the library and get yourself the fruit of everything good in life begins with a challenge everything is a pill that's worthwhile and there it's not going to come to you and it's not going to fall in your lap and it's not going to be

something that oh my gosh it just was so simple it's always going to be difficult and for many of you this is your chance this is your shot this is your moment this is your time time this is your opportunity this is your place for you to really begin to live an intentional life imagine you're on your deathbed and standing around your deathbed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential the ghost of the ideas you never acted on the ghost of the talents you didn't use and they're standing around your bed angry disappointed and upset

they say we came to you because you could have brought us to life they say and now we have to go to the Grave together so I ask you today how many ghosts are going to be around your bed when your time comes what do you do when a thousand other people want exactly what you want what if you're not the only one that wants what you want what if there are thousands of other people who want what you want you have to outwork them you got to out grind them you got to get up

earlier you got to stay up later you've got to execute and you got to go from 70 to 120 we did not come this far to just break down and lose now I'm a winner I'm going to win your dreams are phenomenal the life that you have for yourself is phenomenal in your dreams your bank account is phenomenal the things that you do the way that you live what you have is phenomenal but you as an individual you're average you as an individual you're good you as an individual You're great and what I'm challenging you

to do is to go from average to good from good to great and from great to phenomenal now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth but you got to be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody cowards do that and that ain't you you're better than that I want you to see yourself doing what you want to do experiencing what you want to experience it have having what you want to have doing

what it is that gives your life some meaning and value operate out of your imagination not your memory because whenever you look at where you want to go I'm going to warn you you will have some conversation back here after you go through the data that you've experienced in life saying you can't do it it doesn't matter what you just did it doesn't matter it doesn't count the count now is zero and that's what happens when you wake up in the morning it doesn't matter what you did yesterday it doesn't matter how far you ran

yesterday it doesn't matter the workout you did yesterday it doesn't matter you got on the Jiu-Jitsu mats yesterday it doesn't matter you got a promotion yesterday you wake up today the count is zero and that means it's go time I will never quit because if you quit you're done you may still be alive walking around on this Earth you're done I will never quit I will persevere and I will thrive on adversity my team expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger stronger than our opponents I hold myself to that standard I will be

physically harder and mentally stronger than anything that comes against me my family my business my brothers my sisters my team I will be the one that is physically harder and mentally stronger and I will work to maintain that position you won't beat me if you want to kill an alligator you kill it right after it eats CU right after it eats it get satisfied and it goes to a state like it's almost paralyzed some of y'all in this room were you paralyzed you had a little success youve done when nobody else in your family is

done and now you chilling come on you ain't hungry no more I know that it can be very very frustrating to try and become disciplined and I apologize that I haven't talked about the fact of of what to do if you come from an undisciplined family or you have undisciplined parents and that is because you don't get discipline from your parents you don't get discipline from your parents from your grandparents from your older brothers and sisters you don't get discipline from an external Source you have to get it from you holding the line maintaining the

standard giving no slack none that's the discipline that's the discipline and it is hard and if there's one thing I would say that does make it easier it's to Envision what it feels like when you're done when they're done they feel good contrary to that envision what you will feel like later when you let the discipline slack you know the feeling feeling weak and defeated and you know that you're falling behind ask yourself which one you want to feel in 10 minutes when the thing is done when the discipline has been implemented remember what that

feels like and then remember that those minutes and those hours they turn into weeks and months and years and holding the line in those critical minutes will put you in an infinitely better place physically and mentally if you maintain the discipline so work through the weakness fight through the Temptation Hold the Line Hold the Line maintain the discipline it is not [Music] easy but it is worth it we all think about quitting hard it's hard to process information during pain because that pain takes over and you can't think rationally you're thinking about save yourself that's

not a rational thought it's not a thought that's going to get you through hard times nothing's ever going to be given to you everything's going to be earned if you don't go out there and put in the work you don't go out put in the effort one you're not going to get the results but two more importantly you don't deserve it now go out there and show me how you do things show me how you live show me how you fight that's the hardest thing in the world to get up every day and give 100%

And and be in the same position that you were each day but mentally know that you're trying and trying and trying that's that's that's a real that's a real [Music] grind don't believe the crushing that you're in as if it is your final residence or place of Abode you may have to live there for a little while don't buy it because you will rise again don't own that pain don't own that suffering don't own that Agony don't own that grave don't own that depression don't own that suicide don't own that loneliness rent it if you

must but don't own it and it doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life cuz that's going to happen all that matters is that you got to get up there going to be a dog fight I would love to tell you that on the road to success everything is going to work out it's not you get you decide that you're going to change that you're going to stand up to life I got me here I can get me out of this and I'm getting out when the alarm clock goes off in the morning get

up don't wait don't hesitate when the alarm clock goes off in the morning get up all of us have experienced some tragedy and if we haven't we will and you can either let it destroy your life or you can build upon it you can permitt it to let it hold you down or you can decide I'm not going to let that happen to me I'm bigger than this all we're thinking is the art it's an art it is literally an art it's an art that a lot of individuals here have mastered it's the art of

creating issues and problems that don't exist there's enough issues in life that already exist fear is an instinct fear propels you it wakes you up it gets you going doubt you create everything you've doubted about yourself everything you've doubted about your abilities everything you've doubted about how far you can go everything You' doubted about how hard you should work everything's doubted about where you should be you created it you're supposed to be scared you're supposed to have fear you're not supposed to have doubt you have to know that this thing is going to work come

hell or high water whatever it is that I set out to do it may not happen in 6 months it may not happen in a year but at some point my dream is going to become a reality you have the power to do more than you can ever begin to imagine don't underestimate yourself you don't know enough about yourself to become a cynic and so you've got to challenge yourself to access that power that you have within you you're more than a conqueror what crazy means crazy means that you have the ability to see things

that other people can't and if you're not fing crazy you're never going to succeed at anything in life everybody has got to be a little bit off anybody that's done something great they don't think like any anybody else they can't and the people that tell you you can't do it you know what your response to them is watch me that's all you have to say watch me the boredom of normality and the numbness of mediocrity stiffens your passions what that Miss was I was so sick of myself I was so bored in my life man

I was so tired of being mediocre I was just tired of and it was all my fault I was mediocre because I wasn't doing the things to be exceptional you ever say to yourself man it's got to be more to my life than this if you've ever said that that's cause it is and you got to get after that man you got to you got to go and get after that if you don't do it life becomes real normal and real mediocre to you now there nothing wrong with being normal but if you if normal

is getting on your nerves then you got to change something being mediocre was driving me crazy and it started when I was homeless man it just pushed me cuz I was sick of being poor I'm going just be honest with you poverty I I was sick of it I was up to here I had had enough and homeless is a whole another level of poverty not having a bathroom a bedroom a back door a TV a phone you know I was homeless in the 80s man it wasn't even no cell phones then so I ain't

got no phone I ain't got no backyard I ain't trying to be preaching or nothing but that pushed me towards my faith it's so easy to be great nowadays my friend cuz most people are weak most people don't want to go to that extra mile most people don't want to find that extra cuz it sucks it's miserable it's lonely you talk about that you were kind of you know Lonely by yourself I was the same way and that used to hurt me growing up that's the only place to be life is a war and there

are people out there and there are things out there that are trying to take you down things are going to go wrong and when things go wrong it's pretty easy just to say you know what I'm going to stand down or I'm going to give up and you can do that but I think no I think no I think keep fighting and you keep fighting and you keep fighting and you keep fighting no matter what and you never quit you never never quit and if you feel like your life is in a place where you

can't get any lower and you don't think you can find any way out good cuz that means the ultimate challenge is ahead of you it means you can only go up and it also means that things are going to be tough things are going to be tougher than anything you can imagine but that storm that you're in from your perspective it seems like that storm is enveloping the whole world but I'm telling you it is not the storm that you're in it is hard to see out of that storm it's hard to see past it

it seems like the storm is everything but the storm is not everything but right now you're being tried you're being forged you're being tested by fire and by pain that's the test don't fail the test don't ever quit fight on fight through the storm fight through the pain and come out the other side stronger and tougher and better a Survivor courage is not the absence of fear it is moving forward in spite of it I have to have the courage and let me tell you something most Americans don't have this kind of Courage I have

to have the courage to stop making excuses I can't I'm too old I'm too young I'm too fat I'm too thin I can't right I can't I hear this all the time all the reasons that you can't do something don't don't don't tell me you can't don't give me excuses what's the reason you've given yourself why you can't be successful and you can't be better let me tell you something I've learned it's way easier to blame someone else than to get honest with yourself anytime you start something new anytime you set out on A New

Path anytime you move move out of your comfort zone you're going to go through what is basically if you could imagine a bell curve of frustration all right things are going to get you're going to be excited you're going to be pumped you're going to have the momentum to carry you through the first two or three or 4 days maybe it's a week maybe it's three weeks it's different for everybody but the point is is that when you get excited about something we have natural energy that push pushes us through but what happens when that

energy Fades what happens when you start to get frustrated what happens when you start to feel like a grind and things get grueling and they get gritty and they get tough and it gets harder to move through the process every single day what happens then most people quit you cannot erase the work ethic part there is no getting around a no your elevator to the top you got to take the stands the elevator don't go to the top man not in the world of success you got to take the stairs the key with me is

no one will outwork me no one I love and I respect you guys won't not work me all starts with this two hands putting there to work stay encouraged stay encouraged keep your head up stick your chest out continue to walk with pride and know if it was easy everybody would do it it's not going to be easy but we have what it takes there going to be a lot of times y'all about to fail we are all a work in progress but in that moment I want you to remember the power of you you

will change the world you must get comfortable with fear and failure they must must be your best friends they're the only one that moves at needle of life every hero you guys have was called an idiot crazy a loser you must break Society status quo safety Comfort zones are dead zones you have to continue to push yourself cuz your true potential will never be matched guys you thought for one minute that you broke me you got me Twisted I am not phenomenally skilled but phenomenally will I will not give up I will not surrender I

will not quit do that thing man that keeps you up at night that thing that bothers you man that makes you trip you can't quit thinking about it you always that that that thing man that you wake up in the middle of the night you got a new idea that's what you got to chase cuz anything else it's going to disappoint you you're going to forever be sad man if you don't chase that dream you going to forever be miserable man I would hate to die and never do the thing I was born to do

that's a sad thing man that people like they never chase because you got jobs and stuff and you listening to other people I would man if I hadn't to chased my dream I wouldn't be here if I listen to my mother and father I'd have been a construction worker just like my brothers You're In This Storm and you're down on your knees and you're cold and you're weak and you feel like this is the end you have a choice to either give up or keep going give up or get up when you fail try again

and again and again you just take one step at a time don't give up don't give up stay in it want to introduce y this very simple concept if you want it you got to go get it discouragement can creep in secretly and tell you life is not worth living if you listen at discouragement you will wonder if you're ever going to get out of what you're into there are moments that try the human soul so violently and so perplexing that if the truth were told all of us have had moments that we wanted to

throw up our hands and walk away it was hard ladies and gentlemen it was very difficult to pick myself up each day believing that I could do it there were times that I doubted myself I said God why why is this happening to me I'm just trying to take care of my children and my mother I'm not trying to steal a Rob from anybody why do this have to happen to me it was very hard and here's what I want to say to you for those of you that have experience some hardships don't give up

on your dream but I tell you there is something times in life where you fall down and you feel like you don't have the strength to get back up and fear comes in just that fear paralyzes you and I just want to ask you today do you think you have hope you see I will try 100 times to get up and if I fail 100 times if I fail and I give up do you think that I'm ever going to get up no but if I fail I try again again and again and again for

as long as I try there's way that chance of getting up and it's not the end until you've given up there's still hope what if all of us took that attitude after we Face a rejection and a no or we have a meeting and no one shows up or somebody say you can count on me and they don't come through what if we have that kind of attitude the cause 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 everything's going to go south on you everything's going to go south and you're going to say this is it this is how I amend now you can either accept that or you can get to work that's all it is you just begin you do the math you solve one problem problem then you solve the next one it's hard but it's worth fighting it's worth believing is worth mustering yourself up standing up inside yourself it's worth fighting relentlessly never giving up what's the reason what excuse

have you bought into what excuse have you believed that's not allowing you to live the life God's called you to live I got have the courage to stop making excuses you know the word that you have to really find is the war against yourself you have to take responsibility you have to learn new things you have to feel uncomfortable cuz discomfort is how we grow that's how we become strong if you run away from discomfort and resistance your whole life you will always be weak if you want to grow as a person you really have

to make friends with pain enjoy the struggle I found out it is not what they say about you that limits you the most is that you might believe them and start saying that to yourself there were many many many people who said that I would never be anything I just chose not to be one of them and as long as it's not your mouth that says it you can overcome theirs all day long I love the Sun but things don't grow because of the sun you have to have some rain and you've got to stop

looking at rain in your life is something bad my greatest moments didn't come from my greatest moments My Greatest Moments came from my greatest defeats because it was during my defeat that I had to find a way to get back up it takes courage it takes commitment it takes discipline these are all things that you need to have cuz let me tell you this when you do magic is going to start to happen baby you start to move forward and Achieve that thing you start respecting yourself more you'll start carrying yourself differently and think that

you can take on theing world but it all starts with honesty ask yourself what you've been lying to yourself about consciously admit that you've been bullshitting yourself about that thing and do everything in your power to go out and change it it ain't easy to do but I promise you it'll be worth it winners win and losers lose I can't explain it any better than that I don't know how it happens What winners win and if you create a a culture of losing if you keep being a victim if you keep letting losing happen to

you if you keep letting people do you and treat you any kind of way it's going to become a culture you've never looked at yourself in the mirror and said you let you die until you get to that point you let you die you never you're not brave enough you want to put it on somebody else the reason why I'm not successful is because of my boss have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and say I'm not getting up on time I'm not going to work on time I'm not putting in 120% when

I'm at work you always want to blame other people you always want to you want to hold other people to the fire but you're not holding yourself to the fire you just said you giv 50% you owe you an explanation you owe you an explanation you need to look at yourself in the mirror and say why are you only giving 50% what's wrong with you you need to tell you no more TV no more snacks no more desserts no more no we working out now you need to tell you that you owe you something [Music]

I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and impossible the fact that something seems impossible shouldn't be a reason to not pursue it that's exactly what makes it worth pursuing where would the courage and greatness be if success was certain and there was no risk the only true failure is shrinking away from life's challenges just because you dad left you or your mother wasn't there and you weren't raised in a Christian home just because you had a bad start doesn't mean that you have to be that the rest of

your life just because everybody in your family had an addiction and now you feel that grip on your life it doesn't mean that you have to stay that way you can have a bad start but have a great ending today don't quit get off your butt get out of the those stands get in the arena get dirty get sweaty get bloody get knocked down get back up get knocked down again get back up that boy just won't quit he just watching he'll get back up and he'll get up swinging and he'll try again he just

don't quit so do me a favor let it destroy you the the version of you that you are right now is a blessing but it won't take you to the next level what got you here won't take you there so let the dream destroy you tear you down redefine you build you back up make you stronger I wasn't talented I wasn't talented in bodybuilding I didn't have a any genetics I wasn't talented in business but I had this attitude that I can do it there's nothing I can't do if I can squat 535 or how

many I 23 whatever it was I can do anything I believed that and it worked cuz I believed it life's going to happen to you when you have a dream you're going to get slapped around and don't take it personal don't ask why did this have to happen to me it's called life suck it up and move on get over it when things go wrong don't go with them when you're working on a business deal you're counting on some money someone said you will get the loan and it falls through you have an event and

the people that you thought would be there and support you they don't come through or someone turns against you or you get ripped off it's going to happen to you it's going to happen to everybody it does it's called life we in the Navy what's the first thing they teach you the first thing they teach you they don't teach you how to defend yourself they don't teach you how to swim the first thing they teach you is when your gun is jammed and somebody tell me why would they start you there that's the the worst

case scenario that's what you're not prepared for I will fail my way to success part of the reason why we have to continue to work on ourselves and Surround ourselves with quality people is because you're going to have a lot of failures going have a lot of disappointments so I need you to me a huge fa I just need you to be real and a reason why a lot of y'all don't want to be real cuz some of you would rather be in a lie and at least have a lie than not have anything at

all you already know the reality about that relationship you already know that job you ain't about to your boss ain't about to cash you out you just scared to quit and start your own business cuz you don't know if you're going to do well or not you know you shouldn't come on be honest you know you still shouldn't be at that job right now but you're delusional that one day is going to be your day that one day you going to merge your job in your get your calling together it's not going to happen the

dream will destroy you right let it let the dream destroy you let it strip you let It remake and mold you don't be afraid some of you afraid listen to me wherever you from if that's where you from if you leave you can always come back I promise you I promise you when you come back you can get right back into conversation ain't nothing going to change I promise you whatever world you're from if you go to other worlds you can always go back to that world are you listening to me let it destroy you

one of the biggest contradictions of massive success is when people go to their moms their dads their brother sister boyfriend girlfriend they say listen one day the world's going to know who I am one day I will have a Ferrari the lambo the rolls the Bentley the big house the cars the backyard with a big swimming pool and an elevator I'm going to put the biggest parties I'm going to be a millionaire one day take ownership for your life nobody can Live Your Dream for you but you nobody's going to take care of your business

like you stop coming up with excuses don't give yourself permission to continue to live a small life you can't fit a big dream into a small life that's what Lions do lions don't give up Lions don't quit Lions Huns that's what we do for a live it give yourself permission to go for it to test yourself to challenge yourself to live full the reason you're here is because there's something in you that says I can do more this just can't be it there's something in you there's a calling on your [Music] life the key is

what we do in our times of pain pain will change us heartache loss disappointments they don't leave us the same now how the pain changes you is up to you you can come out out bitter or you can come out better you can come out defeated giving up on your dreams or you can come out with a new passion a new fire excited about the new opportunities in front of you this is not it for you you have not peaked here there's more in you that you are expressing ey is not seen ear is not

heard what's in store for you if you challenge yourself if you persist and persevere if you take ownership for your life all of us experience pain my challenge don't just go through it grow through it that difficulty is an opportunity to get stronger to develop character to gain new confidence anybody can give up anybody can let it overwhelm you but you know what that's doing wasting your pain that pain is not there to stop you it's there to prepare you to increase you to develop you you have the power you to do do more than

you can ever begin to imagine to control your destiny to make a difference in our children to make a difference on the planet to make an impact it's hard when you're working on a job for 20 years 30 years give them some good years and then they come in and tell you we've downsized other words you have fire and then you have to start all over again it's hard it's not fair when people are going up against that kind of stuff to tell them just think positive and be enthusiastic and everything will work out all

right it's hard life will put some knots on your head we all look for toughness we all want it but we look for it in a comfortable environment you will not find toughness in a comfortable environment I was trying to look for it everywhere the only way you find it is to drown yourself in a position where you're just out of sorts where you can't swim and you're drowning you're drowning in life but you say you know what man that I'm going to figure out how to backstroke or something I'm going to figure out how

to and then through through figuring out when you say F you uh-uh this sucks I'm drowning I'm miserable I'm suffering I'm broken but I'm not going anywhere what happens to your mind is it does this it says he's not leaving so we got to expand we got to grow and then you start to engage parts of your mind that you never engaged before if you ever go through something hold your head up if you ever make a mistake hold your head up if you ever do something and everything goes wrong life catch you on the

Blind Side hold your head up it's not over you have something special you have greatness within you what you're doing is different different you represent only 2% of the planet that's the only way you ever get where you want to go you have to take a path that's dangerous and most people want to take the safe path the safe path leaves you stuck in quiet desperation the way you can change is you have to put aside enough money to give yourself a window and then you have to have a plan and you have to spend

all your waking hours outside of whatever job you do planning your Escape so whatever you're doing you you have to do it like your life depends on it you got to go you got to get after it and you got to have discipline most people don't have those things most people don't understand what it's like to really go for something and to know that the consequences of not doing that are horrific you cannot get people to believe in your dream until you believe in it yourself nobody's going to put into your dream before you put

in you have to invest in what you dream for there ain't nothing you can do about what's going to happen to you you can't stop life from happening you can do something about it life is 10% what happened to you it's 90% what you do about [Music] it motivation is a feeling that comes and goes and it doesn't matter whether it's there or not discipline is infinitely more important so no matter how you feel get up and do what you're supposed to do that's it and that's discipline it's not motivation if you only did what

you were supposed to do when you were motivated to do it that's leaving it the chance but if you're disciplined you go do what you're supposed to do that's the way it works you got to stop tripping every time something happened to you like it's the end of the world it ain't just change your mindset if you change your attitude you change your altitude if you want to be the best you watch the best you look at the best you watch them and you have their lifestyle don't be like they have their lifestyle and it

take you anywhere you want to go that's the only way you ever get where you want to go you have to take a path that's dangerous and most people want to take the safe path the safe path leaves you stuck in quiet desperation almost every time it's hell if a lion see an animal that's wounded or a real Hunter see an animal that's wounded what do they do they don't kill them why don't they kill him he already heard and they Beast a part of being a beast just ain't eating a gazelle a part of

being a beast is the hunt it's the hunt that they're excited about cuz real lions like to hunt they love the process just as much as they love the prize and some of y'all just want to score you don't like the process you're not in love with the process a real man in the dark dark when nobody's watching he putting in work a real man when coach ain't even watching he's studying film on his own cuz he's he loves the process you're going to be attacked betrayed exposed and humiliated life is going to break you

and it's going to see how bad you really want it that's the moment when you are truly alone and what will you do then can you send in the will to fight on through all the pain and Rise Again who are you that will be the defining question of your life because your pain is your power you suffer so you can be much stronger when you make up your mind to do something quitting should never be an option if you're going to quit quit when you're at your Peak when you're very very successful but don't

quit because you're tired of paying the price if you pay the price the reward is going to be that much sweeter find a way if you believe and you have faith and you can get knocked down and get back up again and you believe in perseverance you find your way think strategic all the time before any action or any inaction ask yourself this question is this action going to make me stronger or weaker will this action move me toward the Strategic long-term goals I am trying to achieve in my life and do not lie to

yourself you have to tell yourself the truth but the truth is you have time you have the skill you have the knowledge and the support and the willpower and the discipline to get it [Music] done
