Best Motivational Speech Compilation EVER - POWERFUL | 1 Hour of the Best Motivation

[Music] this is your turn the time where you take risk you take chances push everything aside this telling you know you have the possibility to shape your identity to construct and build your life into the power you can achieve [Music] nothing here is stopping your progress except yourself you're the only thing that's holding you back if you want to become successful in life I'm the one you've got to change your mindset he said you don't get in life what you want you get in life what you are develop your communication skills because once you open your mouth you tell the world who you are I believe that all of us are born unique but most of us die copies you've got to find out what is it that turns you on what resonates with you one of the things that I realized and what allowed me to become successful as a speaker of the speaking industry it's been hijacked by people who speak to sell and this it's okay to do that and make money I speak to change lives because somebody spoke and change my life so this is my passion this is my drive this is something that I feel in my heart and and so the key to that Humber Driven Life is a hard centered life I didn't do what I'm doing for years because of my programming because of the culture in which I was raised in I would see other people with with degrees and PhDs and and MBAs and credentials I don't have and I convinced myself I couldn't do it [Music] but mr. Washington on that day we became friends and and he taught me not only someone's opinion of you this does not have to determine your reality he said that you have to work on yourself you have to have an unstoppable attitude and no excuse is acceptable and you've got to do make it a priority are non-negotiable in your life a whole of a constant vision of what it is you want to achieve see it accomplished and go all out find a way to win in spite of the setbacks in spite of the disappointments in spite of your failures I tell people when I'm giving presentations you will fail your way to success I have a saying his life knocks you down try and land on your back because of you could look up you can get up never let a situation or circumstance define your life no matter what it may be and understanding that you got something inside of you that's great in that situation around a circumstance but you have to constantly believe it and not only believe it you have to make decisions choices every single day and put your step forward toward what you believe your destiny is [Music] in life it's a lot of moments and that's a lot of people that change and impact your life right like I don't believe it's just one moment you say this one moment just changed my life even though that moment may have but it's going to be another moment it's going to shape and change your life as well either somebody is in a midst of adversity or just came out of adversity or won't be long before they head into adversity so you need to be prepared either way and so we all go through adversity opposition I think that's the thing that that makes us all in common as people right no matter if you're from London Atlanta Florida California New York like we're all going to go through something at some point or phase in our life right and as cliche as it sounds when a quote says it's never about what happens to you it's about how you respond to it that's very true right but in the same sense I think what's most important is when we go through something what's the perspective that we have of it right because for most people when you go through something the person's natural perspective is okay what did I lose right what happened to me like I took a loss right people never look at it and say okay man tell me what did you gain right even though I know it hurt you didn't want to go through it but look at it in a way to where you can say what's the lesson in this right what would you say life is trying to teach you from dealing with this and so when I went through it my perspective was okay what can I extract from it to apply to other areas and aspects of my life that I feel can help other people [Music] and I firmly believe the quicker you can shift your perspective from yourself to others when you're in the midst of adversity the quicker you'll get through it right Martin Luther King has a quote that says life's most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing to help other people now I'm not telling you to not acknowledge your pain I'm not saying I'm not telling you not to say man I'm going through this in this heart I'm not saying it I'm saying when you go through it look at it step back from the picture and say okay I'm dealing with this 9 out of 10 times there's somebody else that's neither dealt with it are they gonna deal with something similar to this and if I deal with it in the right way I can use it to add value to lives of other people when you live a hard centered life deciding that you're gonna live a life that will outlive you you want to live a life that counts a life that will build a legacy and change the planet you know Horace Mann said we should be ashamed to die until we've made some major contribution to humankind get to know yourself that I believe the work taught be not conformed to this world be it transformed by the renewing of your mind don't live the life that has been given you but when you go for a walk with someone something happens without being spoken is that either you adjust to their pace or they adjust to your pace whose pace have you adjusted to and so the things that we pick up and we think that there are choices but the the choices that we've been programmed by life to do when we leave our homes in the morning we're bombarded with over 6000 advertising hits through Facebook through Twitter through Instagram through television through our phones and through our communities and through the computers and so all of these things are impacting us every day so if you don't have a program for your mind then your mind is going to be programming you'll find yourself doing things that you did not know and and that they affected you that they through marketing techniques and strategies that they will create a thirst within you you've got to have someone that can see something in you that you can't see that that that can take you to a place within yourself that you can't go by yourself stop overthinking everything so much realize that while you are trying to do a lot of things in your life at once and you are trying to be better than you were yesterday also realize you don't have to try to do anything you just have to do and you just have to be you have to understand the concept of you're not actually really doing anything you're being done each and every day is an opportunity to get something from the day rather than just going through the day but there are a lot of things that we can't always control we can't always control the temperature outside we can't always control what the birds are doing or what the fish are doing or what the animals are doing but we can control what we're doing we can control who we're hanging out with so in a sense we can get some control over the anxiety that we have and the way that we're going to gain control over those things is think about some of the hurdles that we may have some of the things that are blocking us from making quick quick action the reason that out I think belief is important is because like when you're younger when you do something in your novice right and you start out doing it and you might think you can do something with it or you might not you might do it in this being driven by your passion and then somebody comes along that's a little bit older or even more experienced and they can see it in a way that you can't see it right and so I think is important with belief because if a person believes you in a way that you don't believe in yourself you can rent that person's belief until you get strong enough to possess your own right and you use that person's belief to fuel you every single day right because you can have a level of belief with what you're doing but you can go back to a certain set of circumstances that tell you now it's not gonna happen and so you read that person's belief until you get strong enough to possess your own life is an adventure and it's gonna be a challenge and get ready because you're gonna fail your way to success you will get slapped around by life and don't spend time complaining about it and telling everybody 80 percent don't care and 20 percent glad is you I think the number one thing that keeps people from being successful is their fear a whole bunch of different forms you know sometimes it's about the people around you and how they'll perceive you you know because you know maybe you grew up in a household where you know things weren't accepted or you know maybe your parents didn't accomplish things and then they put that kind of insecurity on you these are the things that I feel like sometimes it prevents people from being who they want to be because all it takes is somebody wanting to take a step you know and there are certain things that a lot of people in this world and they're thinking in their minds and they're just not gonna do like I used to always try to pull a lot of people and be like you what you can do this you can do this but the people that hear that motivation over and over again sometimes they take that step some people just have it in them early it just starts and they just get in the muscle memory of just doing things there's so many things not last we were scared about what we're still here we made it past all these things and if you fail so what you know you start over you do it again but most people that that fear of failure is the thing that I think prevents them from like really really being successful then also it's like a lot of other things that are just difficult to do you know when you tell people the answer to success it's a lot of hard stuff let your success fill itself around you let it construct around you you got to work hard right nobody wants to hear that everybody wants a shortcut you know some people understand that they like they appreciate the progress you know if you tell people right now hey if you want to lose this many pounds this is what you got to do there's no short solution but every time there's still people out there selling whatever Herbalife treatment or whatever to try to get you the quick short route because people believe that you know what I'm gonna do it the easy way and there is no easy way so when I tell the--with that is very blunt it's very straight to it you have to want to do it but the best way I trying to explain it is like you know when you're chiseling on a rock you know you can chisel for a long time and you can chisel 100 times 200 times 300 times and it won't break and then when you get to five thousand times you're finally breaks but all the work that you did is what made it break it's not like you just the last one just broke it you know I mean it takes that but sometimes people don't want to start their journey mission of light you know becoming the best that they can be move away from your past and move toward a new purpose a purpose that gives you the success you've always wanted the success that leads you to a future you deserve bring your life into the direction you want the direction to change your perception your perspective this is the power you've earned don't let yourself be taken by one more mistake don't let yourself slip from one more wasted opportunity have the confidence to take action have the confidence to appreciate the decisions you make to make every choice with the purpose with the purpose to change to improve as a collective a society we all want similar things we all want to succeed to improve to be better people we all slip but that's how life functions that's the only way for us to learn you can be more you can have I felt like we spend way more time in our own minds than we do talking to other people like you really spend a lot of time trying to figure it out there's all these thoughts that come to you whether it's like you know things around you people talking to you people close to you things you see TV whatever and you're you're bringing in all these different things trying to figure out your path in life you know so I think it starts with having some like real understanding of what your strengths are it's about being honest you know a lot of people just aren't honest with themselves you're telling yourself this thing but you're like there's so many people that say oh I'm gonna be entrepreneur I'm gonna do this and it can really dive down into deep they don't really believe it you know and it's that's okay you can unlock that but you have to figure out how to unlock it there's a conscience that's sitting right here telling you this thing and you try to brush it off you have to be very honest with yourself and then if you're not that doesn't mean you can't succeed it means that now you're very honest and knowing you're not as good then you can work on getting good but if you think you're already good at it you don't work on it so I spent a lot of time just reflecting our late man what am I good at like I used to think like I'm watching NBA you know I was unrealistic about it you know you start to see people that are way bigger way faster you're not telling yourself the truth he's just like no I'm going to the NBA you start with doing what you're passionate about right because there are a lot of people that are going through life right now trying to figure it out like me I don't know what I want to be I don't know like I was at that moment it's not about money I want to make it very clear the money will come if you focus on passion and focus on information and relationship and I'm gonna stand on the top of the mountain and seeing that all day and hopefully it has a real impact on people's lives and I'ma feel good about that I'm not gonna feel good if I go to the grave as being the only person with the information and the money gonna tell us money I'm gonna feel good if I'm able to impact a lot of people and that don't have access to this information and a good life or quality of life and they have one that's awesome that makes me feel real good I think the true measure of wealth is uh is happiness right like I really do and it's not saying that I'm against money I'm not against that at all because you gotta gotta work hard make your money to take care of your family and be able to bless people but I think it's a lot of people with so-called wealth and they don't have joy and they don't have happiness right and I feel like joy happiness is peak and peace it's the most important things we can possess right then for most people their material possessions they feel like the most important for me we got joy me you got peace when you got happiness I think that's true well because you can't put a price on that you having a purpose it's that thing that that makes us tick that gets us up every day and gets us over the hump of opposition and adversity and a reason that I champion that versed in opposition is because I think for the most part in life people pretty much know what to do when things go right right like when things go right they know how to feel they know how to act to react but it's when that opposition and that adversity comes and it creates a level of misunderstanding right now the vision is blurred now you don't have clarity about what you're supposed to do now you question if your existence matters and I think when you have a purpose it's powerful because in the midst of the opposition it makes you realize that you've been put here for certain reason that you can be great but you live in unreserved right you didn't you didn't empty the bucket right you didn't give everything you had to every aspect of your life like for most people they're great professionally but they end up becoming a public success and behind closed doors they're private failure not because they don't have the talent or the skill set they don't have the character right that they can apply it and be consistent in every aspect of their life and empty out everything they got to everything all right now one would say okay well when do you turn it back right you find pockets to turn in right of course you don't just give everything you've got all the time right you get to a point to where you learn to be efficient and effective in every aspect of your life and for most people is not a problem the skill set there's a problem with character and empty the bucket is having the right character to be consistent and empty out everything you've got in every aspect of your life either somebody is in the midst of adversity or just came out of adversity or won't be known they head into adversity so you need to be prepared either way and so we all go through and ersity opposition I think that's the thing that that makes us all in common as people biomatter if you from London Atlanta Florida California New York but we're all going to go through something at some point or phase in our life right and as cliche as it sounds when the Pope says it's never about what happens to us about how you respond to you that's very true right but in the same sense I think what's most important is when we go through something what's the perspective that we have on right because for most people when you go through something the person's natural perspective is okay what did I lose right what happened to me like I took a loss I people never look at it and say okay man tell me what did you gain right even though I know it hurt you didn't want to go do it but look at it in a way to where you can say what's the lesson in it right what would you say life is trying to teach you from dealing with this and so when I went through it my perspective was okay what can I extract from you to apply to other areas and aspects of my life that I feel can help other people and I finally believe the quicker you can shift your perspective from yourself to others when you're in the midst of adversity the quicker you'll get through it right Martin Luther King has a quote that says life's most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing to help other people now I'm not telling you to not acknowledge your pain I'm not saying I'm not telling you not to say man I'm going through this in his heart I'm not saying that I'm saying when you go through it look at it step back from the picture and say okay I'm dealing with this 9 out of 10 times there's somebody else that's either dealt with it are they gonna deal with something similar to this and if I deal with it in the right way I can use it to add value to lives of other people like when we go through a situation in circumstance it's easy to step back and think and I just went through this and it's just my experience I firmly believe when we go through things it's for us to deal with it get over it and reach back over the hill to help another person and a lot of times like you said when you're trying to work through it you think man how can I help somebody and I'm trying to get through it myself right and that's a great perspective right but when you get through it right maybe you can't help them when you're in the midst of it because you're processing it but when you get over the hill I think is that important and I think it's vital that you reach back over the hill and help somebody that may be going through a similar situation and you can share your values and principles with them because that experience that we go through and we do it it's not just for us before the Sun rises is the time of least distraction before the Sun rises where you can build intimacy and fluency with what you want to stand for in your day before the Sun rises the luxury and tranquility of the early morning hours you can do that deep inner work that will allow you to go out from the world and play it your best we live in a world where a lot of people are busy being busy but what's the point in being busy around climbing the wrong Mount Everest and so clarity is one of the DNA's of mastery but if you look at the greatest billionaires if you look at the greatest producers on the planet these people are one thing in common they are ridiculously curious and no matter how much money they make it no matter how much impact they have they maintain a white belt mentality one of the keys to epic performance is a relentless commitment to daily breath as you begin your day so you handcraft the rest of your day and if you have consistently great days you're gonna have consistently great weeks quarters a year and a lifetime we live in a world that suggests the doorway to successes swings outward if you build the business if you get the jet if you get the money if you get the cars if you get the beautiful spouse then you're gonna be happy what I believe and there's a model in the five am club that I think is a very disruptive model but it's a transformational it's called the for interior empires and it's not just mindset it's mindset heart set Hal sentence also but I worked on those for interior empires when I was a very unhappy litigation like I've made money I was successful I to law degrees and then I wake up every morning Tom and I'd go into the bathroom mirror and I look at myself and I was a completely empty person and nothing is more expensive and losing your joy and peace of mind and so what I did was I started working on myself yeah I worked on my mindset and I read all the books and went to the courses but that's only your psychology I think that's one of the missing links in our field which is everyone's talking about mindset but mindset is just your belief system is just your psychologies it's very important but that's 25% of the personal mastery equation I believe the second piece is your heart set I worked on that purifying your heart that's your emotionality not just your psychology you're never gonna make history dominate your domain and handcraft a world-class life if you've got a great psychology that you're carrying the pain and sadness disappointment and trauma of the past so I worked on my hearts up your health set don't die if you want to change the world like dead people don't change the world what have you done today to be different what have you done to step outside the conventions that you set for yourself the conventions and the rules set by your past today you have the power to move on today you have the power to move away from your past and move towards a successful future this is your decision your call to make into your future this is how your life can gain its own direction and this is where your life can be so much more so much better you can make it better you have always had the potential to take one more step the potential to take the risks others are too scared to take because you are more and you are stronger and you have the determination and the courage to be so much more know how to be someone better to look for something better to become someone with the purpose to constantly look for change to always look for somewhere to improve for somewhere to be better because this is where you begin you own your success so let it take control take control of your life and take control of your power this is where the power is in your control get after it in guard in the world every single morning people might ridicule you because every genius is ridiculed before their revered people might throw stones at you but you use them to build monuments of mastery people might not misunderstand you because any disrupter is gonna be misunderstood and even you're if you're an army of one a Galileo or Steve Jobs or how Phil Knight you continue at all costs so it all starts with who you are because you'll never rise any higher than what's going on in a video what terrifies you most go directly there because discomfort is simply growth in wolf's clothing to lead and to become a great hero or in every day hero the doorway is through embracing our suffering and doing difficult thing I think pleasure has been promoted too much in our society like no great Titan of industry no legendary cellist no great athlete you know the great ones all understand that suffering is the price of greatness so how do we become braver you do you do the difficult things that you don't feel like doing but you know have the pale it'll be crazy the great leaders are insane and I say that they're insane to the majority the great ones are all misfits and they're all weird I mean the very nature of being a disrupter and leader means you're not a following and if they're not a follower then you're not buying the kool-aid that society sells you if you're not a follower you're not like this all the time you're looking for likes if you're not a follower you dress the way you want a dress people criticize you they criticize all the great ones critics are nothing more than dreamers who got scared and never got off their chairs and got back in the game so you've got to be willing to be to 5:00 a.m. weird who does that why not sleep leaders have to be willing not to be followers stop blaming others stop blaming people for the reasons you find yourself in now stop blaming your situation stop blaming your parents stop blaming the government stop blaming your genetic stop blaming your finances stop blaming your past Clawd yourself back into the light stop blaming everybody else the only person you can truly blame issue because you are the only person who can get yourself out of it live life a victor not a victim you might even be right you might be poor because of your parents are broken because of no relationship you're red but what does blaming people or society do for you it will keep you in the same hole and all you're doing is digging the hole even world it's because your situation where you right now hasn't changed in order to go forward and to get out of the hole is growth instead of bringing other people down to your level build yourself up to them Clawd yourself out of that hole and you will get to see the Sun and once again massive success is how you prove people wrong and prove yourself right the only way you get upstream is to swim against the company you're permanently ruining your future you're holding your progress life is made not to be easy not one's life is ever easy how did you ever think you were ever going to make any progress you can make this your time you can take control of the life you want to live have the authority to know what you need to change to know how to change and then let's take action have discipline for yourself into progress switch over to make your life all difficult situations forced you to make improvements force you to learn to educate yourself prove this to yourself make others jealous make yourself jealous like you're gonna only be so pretty you're only gonna be so smart like you like there's there's things that are gonna be natural and there's things that you can actually control I do believe and I don't know if I'm right or wrong I don't but I do believe that work ethic is a taught behavior it's something you do have more control over I feel like there's a shift that can make people work harder the big one that I push is you're gonna die like like if your complaint like to me life is broken down into complaining and not so if you're not complaining well then I know I have no advice for you but I'm pumped like you did it we're beating ourselves up like everybody sucks at something right like we all have shortcomings and we all have strengths and for me it's like why don't we just audit that like why don't we just look at it that way and be like all right well I'm good at this but I'm not good at that like and then and then and then I only focus what I'm good at right like I don't dwell that I can't fix it around the house I call somebody to fix it don't lose yourself on the way to the top they'll never be a better you than you rarely is a question of talent or technique it's just one of the belief and the concomitant will to kind of do something that either no one's done before or even more I think the crack opened the barriers that people consider impossible or undoable and that kind of belief I think is rarer than talent talent is it's around having both of those levels there's only a few people that they really have that I think in the history they're the ones that it really changed things when you're looking at everything it's such a gift to be able to look at something and to love it for the sake of it in nurturing and maintaining that is one of the hardest tests of any pearl much less for anyone to find right what is the Beethoven who never found his piano or harpsichord or right those days you want to go out and hurt - you're sore or you just suck Union you're not making progress you're burning it to the end you feel defeated but that's that's the nature of love you know it's got hate in there you know it's got pain in there and it draws you to it that's the magnetism I see people with talent with all those things but the one thing they don't have is that just love for doing it for the sake of it in the sense of obligation to do something with what you're given you know there's something to that it's important I think getting what you want quenches the fire that got you there often unless is something replaced by something more permanent which becomes more intangible I think the successes of winning right you want to be the best in the neighborhood and then win the local contest and then whatever whatever its it just keeps going up and then by the time you get there you can have a stadium scream in your name it's actually happened a couple of times and there is a visceral excelent exhilaration to a dirtiness I've experienced that I know what that's like you land a trick in there it just lights up it's crazy at the same time it's hollow it's hollow that's not the thing that can drive you and he's not for long it's being able to say oh I had that I had a model or I had people out of there or whatever all of these honors eventually that stuff fades to just static and you're left with you and your board if you decide that that's what you love that's what you're doing then your days are numbered so the trick is to always peel back of why am I doing this in the first place it is easy to say and I think it's smothering to say and often there's a culture of saying that if if it cannot be proven it must not be possible in the big takeaway from that theorem is that there's lots of things that cannot be proven though they are correct because we see things so often in front of us the way that it should be done and it imposes a kind of barrier through what people know and see a familiarity but maybe you can change something within you that can be just outside a new set of axioms some new skill set they will take you further and I think that's the history of development it's interesting how getting what you think you want can end up being the force that pushes you in to paint yourself into a corner pushes you into room there's something terrible to be taught the mountain I'm the best I'm the king guarding it there's a Nietzsche quote right what's left for you when you make it at the top but lightning you know [Music] is this admitster it's everybody has a unique set of variables that they can put in place and express their individual identity in a form of call it greatness that's something to be remembered that's what you look for [Music] it's not there's anything just find your light in what you do for the sake of it and then recognize how you're being shaped in the process and hopefully you become a better man through it's not fair it's not fair your car broke down it's not fair your friend passed away it's not fair you were bullied it's not fair that your business failed it's not fair you lost all your money and it's not bad that she left you it's not fair because life is not fair so now you know it's not fair what are you gonna do you've already complained about it are you gonna keep whining or are you going to take accountability for it because what's more whining going to do what's more complaining gonna do it's not gonna change the fact that life can be unfair at times so what do you need to do you need to stop complaining stop whining stop playing the victim and stop feeling sorry for yourself and start taking control start being accountable start taking responsibility start changing your situation stop complaining about your life and start working on changing your life success does not come to those who complain success comes to those who change their circumstances when needed you're not weak your power you can change your circumstances circumstances don't make you you make your circumstances do what you can with what you have and where you are no one said work 20% no one said try a little less wake up with your own message in your head the message that inspires you inspires you to work harder strive for success stop waiting for the right time the right time is now take it now work now be creative be strong be successful what do you want to do right now do something meaningful meaningful with works something that will impact your life impact it for the better make it better you have it in you do what you can now full of ambition fulfilled to 100% no more than that break down the walls that contain you imprison you from achieving everything you have ever wanted surround yourself with people who lift you up people who can see you rise people who can see you move forward not holding you back people who move with you not moving against you of finding friends of similar character and heart that's important to me I strive for that be the person you need to become feel the strength you've always wanted to feel see your courage as a superpower a superpower to help you progress to boost your confidence boost your life upgrade it to be better more fulfilling life one where you and only you are in control what you do in these reflexive couplings shapes you you shape it it shapes you [Music] you don't disconnect from that you just tumble forward over time may become what you do and you find hopefully at the end of that process you're not insufferable that you actually have something to give it can be present you know so for all I've done I appreciate I don't look at it as much but ultimately it just goes out there it's just what you do you just become one with that I think that's been a key for me of why I've been able to sustain this fire that's so seemingly easily clinched so when I see people who have had success I see boredom for the most part in them and then I see a Tim stone and circling back to what trophies and those things represented right Fineman great physicists said that is the Nobel Prize would be the tombstone and all great work just look at it I haven't done the study of Academy Awards right but usually when you get what you thought you wanted a fire goes away I'm honored to have had the rippling impact that I have helped formulate the language of a community where others can help shape and express themselves in a process and connect that to me for people like me that doesn't come easily but ultimately this would be a good man you know [Music] you ever hear that goofy internet thing you've found it so stupid stuff that people send you can you name the last Nobel Prize when there's an Olympians alright but you can name the fifth-grade teacher that had faith in you right it's the people you touch the singularly [Music] that's a bigger test in a way what does it take to be the best everything everything you can't you're going to have self doubts you're gonna have tough moments you're gonna have everything you know you're gonna have people talking bad about you people putting you down getting caught you know it takes getting up in the morning and doing the same thing you know I understand people talk about a lot of mental toughness right many toughness you meditate and stuff for me honestly mental toughness is getting up in the morning and doing the same thing Dane and they are Dane and they are for whatever you take whatever that goal is you know and by doing that you became the best you know and it takes everything I mean you have to I mean the three exes that I love you know suffer you know a sacrifice it suffered sacrifice equal success you gotta suffer you know it's gonna be it's gonna suck you know like I mean I worked what 15 hours a day I'll get up you know and then trying to stay in shape imagine that as yeah the 17 year old European in Boston with spoken English there's a lot of suffer a lot of sacrifice you know I don't have any friends or girlfriend or any anywhere to go right I'll just working working working working and then success can be you know later because I build this foundation so takes everything you know but it's not for long you know people think that to be greater to be something really good it's a lifetime it's not no because once you achieve that that's another thing right but by building the right foundation day in and day out you achieve something and that leaves one other thing opens up to a deep traditional it takes everything you know and what is everything is your mind in your body you know people are wishful thinkers you know I want to be the best I want to be rich I want to lose weight whatever that you know the wishful thinking is you know but I hate to take the steps or they take the steps and it's hard you know change is hard you know changing your body changing your mind is very hard and people stop and people comes a certain point everybody so everything is making up your mind mentally and not giving up but also physically pushing through your hearts if you know when it hurt to be an Olympian right you spent four years for two weeks or maybe one week because you might lose and get out so it's a you know it's a crazy work workforce and disciplining mindset right so to be able to play in greece and then go have a chance to go to china i was blown away by my by my ability right when you call about self-doubt i'm like there's no self-doubt I'm now I'm the man so I was the captain I was at peak of you know the peak of my career we just lost him in Athens and as a group we were a young group that joined the team in 2000 we were young in Athens and then we made a pact to ourselves that we're gonna win gold in China we actually made a plan how when why right and we went to work went to work on slowly you know build that the foundation in 2007 now I was in Italy playing for the best team or the captain making a ton of money and then I turn and then my achilles nap I fall down in tremendous pain because as to a structure actually this one comes out we can walk and go the doctor the second one is the hardest thing it snaps in half so I fall down and I see my foot hanging and I can move my toes I mean my toes I'm like I'm trying to my cane I'm just crying because there's so much pain and shock the doctor comes in and a persisting that he lives and just ha spend all that oil our killers a newly downtown that version is done I mean when he said that I was like no and I just burst in tears and several years to do this and you know truly American Dream and hardship it's over in a matter of one minute myself dad was like I'm done with USA team and that scared me you know because for me what that was most important thing not professionally not the money you know being part of the USA team on that group of guys and that you know that amazing tournament is just you know there's nothing like that in life you know because the whole experience it in Greece and now I'm the captain of a team so there was the number one self doubt and that you know kind of stroke of fear I mean I had to sit 26 days with a leg up above your heart not move anything and a lot of thoughts came to my mind you know I mean thoughts about quitting out of 32 thank God wasn't social media back then so you know can be good you know I'm couldn't back right but you know friends were supportive but they're like you know man 32 you know maybe take the real-estate test you know maybe think about the future maybe think about that and then once all these people start doubting I start pushing me away you know even my parents you know my parents were still conservative in working a small job you know in in a small town say you know son I mean awesome and you made it like what else you want you know like you're the man like you know for bein e'en that minute you're garland I said but I want to be the best player in the world and I didn't achieve that dream you know since 11 since 9 I thought my dream has been to be the best in the world so why this injury will stop me so I started researching I said what is the compact time for Achilles I start doing a lot of research and I start I made a bet with myself was weird one of these nights you know immediately as I got better at weight to three months of flight back to USA I was drinking wine you know and I couldn't walk you know still with with crushes and I say you know what it's gonna be a test between me and Achilles honestly I mean that was like I made a bet with myself I'm like who's gonna win so my mind started working on that moment in a moment of like okay how long they take what work do I have to do how to do it where and then one side the plan I just wake up every morning I was the first one at the USA team and eyes and stretch and the last one to go so was just a simple bed near near the lake and I want at the Olympic team every four years Summer Olympics the cost comes in brings all the guys about 30 40 guys that try out for you know four years and then she sits down and tells the team who makes her or not it's a very very ruthless decision right and the coach comes in and he said you know put a list of a team and I I got upset the first time Tom that I became Albania Man III the Oh bene of me came out now just became angry and loud I don't know why you know cutting me like you know are you stupid I crazy and I'm cussing at the coach he's like he gets it thank God you know he took the high road you know just calm me down and we're just talking for two hours and and I was crushed you know like I kind of went back to that old mentality you know and that summer I kind of give up you know that summer I was drinking clean Beach water go for fun I was weird it was just very odd mix of feelings I didn't know how to control them I had no idea back then I was engaged and then break up with my with my fiance - I start darling everything right and my Italian team that I was playing had a big contract for three years massive amount of money and they cut me they said we don't pay you you know you're not ready yet I'm like I'm ready look at me I'm jumping I'm running no you done so that month of August was it was very dark 2008 I made a dream I was top of the mountain and annuus not all of course I mean took a second I was nobody I just wanted to kind of get lost forget about Europe USA team and everything I shall shall be on my own there was the best medicine ever you know because that's when you really find yourself you gotta hit rock bottom when they say right and I realize that I was painting everybody else by myself I was like man I plan to coach my fiance the team the Italian manager everybody but me first time of my life that I was maybe I become too cocky or confident I don't know but I realized I was blaming everybody else by myself so I made another bet with myself I said I'll never from this moment on I'll never allow anybody or anything else to dictate my life it's gonna be my way and I called the coach like gonna try out I'll study 3:30 for the coach that are you crazy I'm like I will try out you put me at the bottom of the list I want to earn it done and went to work instead of getting a crappy contract I went to Italy got a cheap contract and I proved myself again and I became the other side of the world you gotta hit that you know it's about experience no my thing like if you don't have that experience if you're not [Music] confident to go through this experience there are people when the people when people go through tough times they protect themselves they go into this show right it goes and we as humans as you know you know our mind you know from back back in the day was to protect yourself you know from fire from fighting so human mind is always kind of like being to be no risk it's not good for you you know to go hike over the mountain right it's bad for you right everything is bad and I was like no no no I mean I can do I have to take this raise I have to push myself out to suffer you know I have to sacrifice in order to achieve that success otherwise I'll never be that guy that I wanted to [Music] first of all to get up every day and not work others you know being a great teammate you know being great part of whatever team it is you know whatever wherever you are at school with your friends that's force you know being a great person around your teammates you know and lastly it's like don't burn bridges I told my kidding across ours I went through a lot of ups and downs we know sorry I you know I burn few bridges by mistake you know I many of those bridges now you know I went back and apologized you know because I was in the dark space but you know I say you know it's you as good as a person next to you know you as good as that mentor or business person or teacher or coach you know you know you know alone is very hard to make you know people will actually help you if you ask for help but you gotta show them that you are hardworking a good person and then success always comes whatever that is monetarily or passion or whatever that is for you and no it always comes if you do that work but I'm going to come to you nobody's gonna give it to you but you know when things are hard when you're in a dark place there's still light you know it's just a matter of you know switching your mentality and I was switching that thought process and continue to work for the right thing and it's not scary just because they sound scary they're not scary no it's just the way you look at them you gotta get down this I see that fear and I'm like I'm running right through it you know there's nothing that's gonna help me just times I'm flying in the plane I'm like this plane may go down but you know I'm okay with that I'm okay with dying like that's because now it's like I'm doing I know I'm doing everything I possibly can every single day to inspire impact the people around me and if I die I know that I've done my part as much as I possibly can that's that's the driving force of like everyday like pushing myself and that's when I was like I want to step up as it was more as a more as a role model for this generation and be a better leader let me tell you happen let me tell you if I was able to do it you can too you know and that you need to start making that choice you need to make that choice right now for yourself figure out their their you know their why man it really comes down to that but you know that's the truth it's figuring out what really why are they doing it what really truly drives them to move solve this problem it's definitely it's definitely tough for them and the entrepreneurs have to definitely have their lows a lot of some who don't make it you know some of them break and there's like Isis it for me and can anyone become a great entrepreneur yes do that do they have what it takes are they willing to do whatever it takes a lot of people give up that's just it you know that's just the truth and you have to be resourceful you have to be willing to get your hands dirty and do a little bit of everything in the beginning but then it's like okay really buckle down and I figure out what am I really really passionate about what am i really great at was that one thing that I can do the very best on my team to add the most value figuring out okay who do you really need you know who are the people that you need you know around you and what are you really truly great at it's extremely important today that you understand how to share your story how to document the process how to put that out how are people discovering you in today's day and age consistently day in and day out you need to surround yourself with the right energy the right people like that as passionate of you like-minded people that positivity and that Energy's infectious like we live in this day and age or like social media is so strong right you know and you can do so many great things in connect but like really digging into like what why you know why are you here what are you like what do you want to give to the world you know and are you really discovering that within yourself because there's so much consumption happening on a daily basis because of social me and everything you didn't get so caught up on like living a script of what you think you should be doing we're having digging down inside yourself and shutting off all the noise and like figuring out like what is it that you you know what is it that you really want to do and what is it that you want to give to the world and I think that Mellon is right now a lot of them you know haven't figured out who they really are and like because of the and and then and then their fear they feared they fear how people are going to judge them and what they look like and all that stuff instead of like really figuring out who they really are not trying to be something that they're not and and then started living a true authentic life and putting that out I'm not afraid to fail you know for me there's nothing more powerful than creating something and if it's going wrong like solving okay how about let's pivot let's just figure out why it's not working and continuing until you know we actually built something that people you know see value in believe in something hold heartily and follow that with faith and courage to just go and no matter what to be able to you also I think for me leading is picking up the people around me and putting them before myself caring about everybody around me and putting them in a position to thrive and this to see before myself and basically leading by example of how you live your life leadership to me as a character you know who you are not what you do when you make a decision you can't just walk away from the decision and say it's somebody else's problem the ability to embrace failure is a bit for me it's a strength I think and but I but I I'm not a quitter and so if you have the two you're not afraid to fail and but you don't quit when you fail I think that's a pretty decent combination I think it's important to avoid that pitfall you have to surround yourself with people who approach things differently who challenge you we we know that we have the ability to change the world we know that we've already taken steps in that direction if we don't follow it to the end game people like you and me will wind up feeling totally unfulfilled and frustrated you break it down to the to the problem identify the root cause and then you try and engineer a solution to the root cause of the problem you take a series of steps so that that failure isn't a fatal failure if I can identify a problem early on and then if I have if I have help getting to the root cause I can address the root cause problem with one step or another to make that no longer a lethal problem but the the fact is that if you're good enough to see an impending failure and address it it's a hell of a lot cheaper and it's a hell of a lot easier and you get to sleep a lot earlier if you can do it before it goes completely haywire what's the solution the problems identified focus on the solution and come up with it with a series of options leadership is about vision and responsibility it's not all about power so you want to be a leader you want to take control then I'll tell you what use your vision use your vision to take control of your life and change your perspective on life and change your perspective on what power means to you because leadership is so much more than just a 40 and power you gotta take action for the better and not just be selfish for your own means to be a leader you have to take responsibility not just when you make mistakes but then also to embrace them afterwards to make them and take control of them and then even make them part of your leadership you got to do this in order to live honestly and free from fear of others approval be the leader of your own life first go ahead and write out the instructions for your own life and use them to take your journey to step on the right path the right path towards success because with that success you're gonna be fuelled and pushed automatically towards leadership be sure to control your potential as well the potential that uses success to make your future a place where you live with courage and the light without fear of mistakes or limits you wear the pants in your own life so take what I'm telling you and use it to upgrade your life you're gonna want to use this to improve your future you have that power you have that potential so use it use it for the better control your actions because your actions that you make right now define your future and how do you see your future you see it successful full of life fueled with potential I mean that's what you want and if that's what you want then you're going to need to take action right now because otherwise you're gonna get to a point where you realize you don't have the time left to make the progress that you need to make you're gonna soon realize that you have no time left because your future is now so what are you going to choose to do I want you to grasp your life by the horns and I want you to stare it in its eyes stand up to your future stand up to your success use your work now to boost and upgrade your future later because it's gonna matter then you might feel tired now but then it is going to matter and make a world of a difference and you're gonna thank yourself so take the time now to make your life better for you and only you right now right now is the time to make it in a life where you live in this very moment right here right now stop thinking of everybody else stop seeking everyone else's approval and seek your own approval be proud of yourself listen to what I just said be proud of yourself guarantee success for yourself and only yourself you were the only person you have to answer to switch your mindset to the future switch your mindset to the future where you are successful you can see yourself with everything that you've ever wanted doing everything that you have ever wished you could do doing everything that you've ever needed to do this is the time when you make that happen all you need is belief the belief that you can succeed the belief that you can learn educate yourself you have the power the power to push the part of you that sheltered yourself from this progress that didn't allow you to grow and get stronger you can be better you can change to be better to be stronger and become the person you need to be transformed into the person with respect respect for themselves respect for the decisions you make appreciation for the progress you're making how are you going to make this transition are you willing to change do you want to change in order for you to succeed you
