I DID IT ALONE, BROKE, TIRED & SCARED. I KEEP GOING. - Best Motivational Video Speeches Compilation

you don't become legendary by accident you don't become the greatest shoe by accident you don't become that person you're created to be by accident you become that person by being intentional by saying you know what this is what I'm gonna get out of this year right now you should be saying this is what I'm gonna get out of this moment this is your life you have to figure it out you have to figure out what's best for you but I will tell you this a made-up mind most people have made up their mind that you know what it's done most people say oh my plans didn't go the way they're supposed to go so I'm just gonna take it but not you you're gonna make up your mind that you're going to be that one percent at some time or another have agonized over making a decision some decisions of major decisions and also there are a lot of small decisions that we don't make that they tax our minds they drain our energy they create a lot of anxiety and nervousness and mental torment because we don't take care of it we decide not to decide which is a decision deciding to decide to act is a major major challenge for all of us and there are things that happen to us along the way experiences that we have that prevent us from working through the mental block of acting of doing those things that we know we ought to do you don't have what you want stop telling yourself the story because you don't have the money over time that's [ __ ] it's because you haven't committed yourself or you would burn your boats if you want to take the [ __ ] Island burn your [ __ ] boats and you will take the awning because people when they're gonna either die or succeed tend to succeed fight through the pain and come out the other side and tougher and better and free from that storm free from the darkness if you just do what you want right now all the time one of the problems with that is you're going to get yourself in trouble people are self-conscious and can see the future we have to bind our actions in the present in relationship to our future selves you have to act now so you don't hurt you tomorrow and you next week and you next month and you in a year and five years and ten years and that's actually a community community of potential cells that extends across time you sacrifice the whims of the moment so that's delayed gratification and maybe a definition of maturity you sacrifice that because it's a better medium to long-term contract or Covenant with yourself validation validation is the need to have someone tell you that you're you're good the fact you want somebody to tell you great it's not about them they cannot be the voice that Echoes and determines whether or not your gift your talents your abilities are worthwhile you've got to be able to look in the mirror and know that you've given your all all you want to do in life is end up empty every talent that has been given in you every thing that was given to you as a seed inside of that little body of yours at Birth grows into the trees that have deep roots that go outside of you and into the lives of others so that you become everything you were supposed to be and they see everything that you're supposed to produce wherever you are right now you're exactly where you need to be and I'm going to say that because one of the major reasons why you do not have what you want your life is that you invalidate wherever you are you are so quick to trash yourself you're so quick to go this isn't happening fast enough I'm not doing enough I'm behind I'm overwhelmed that that trash talk is what keeps you from moving forward so you got to start telling yourself every day you're exactly where you need to be is what is there that you know you need to do that you want to do this but for some reason or another you've been holding back for some reason or another you just have not been able to gather your nerves or be able to work through the procrastinating or putting it off or justifying or blaming some reason or another you just haven't done it and you know you ought to do this you really want to do this but you don't know why you haven't done it because in order to begin to reinvent your life you've got to make a conscious deliberate determined effort if you wake up in the morning you start having negative thoughts Man this ain't my day I woke up on the wrong side of the bed I just don't feel myself in the middle of the day if you feel yourself doing that just talk for a second and start going over in your mind everything you have to be grateful for everything you already have because what you have is substantial you just haven't gone over the list and taken inventory in a long time but the fact that you can walk that's a blessing the fact that you woke up That's Another Blessing the fact that you can see think reason That's Another Blessing the ability to dream is a blessing the fact that you have an opportunity to get it right is Another Blessing the fact that you have any measure of Health That's Another Blessing because people who make things happen people who are legendary like yourself people who take it to the next level people as I like to say are rare breeds that are rare they don't depend on motivation to move because they know they will never move if they depend on motivation they will never create if they're paying on motivation they will never change if they're dependent on motivation what they do they they move to create their motivation most people move until once they're motivated but rare be people create their movement to create the motivation [Music] so I'm here to tell you that it will take longer it will be more difficult it will require more effort on your part but you know what I can tell you about that when you do the hard things you will have a happy and easy life [Music] but if you constantly choose to take the path of easy and negotiate and compromise you will have a hard life a hard life that ends with regret you see everyone has to go through something but it's the something you go through that also must go through you when it does you'll come out of this thing pure gold the way you can get pure gold is to go through the fire stop asking God why and embrace it and say what's next most people wonder why they don't get the opportunity coach why won't you put me in the game why won't you give me an opportunity the reason why is because the word give no one is going to give it to you whatever it is you want in life you have to desire it more than you want anything you got to believe that it's your Birthright you got to be hungry you got to look at everyone as competition and welcome and embrace the fact that you must fight for it if it's given to you you will think of it as some kind of entitlement but if you battle for it it's a victory it's earned because in the absence of purpose fulfillment significance we kind of feel like every day is Groundhog Day every day is a day where ah not really moving forward I don't have a sense of purpose this is like low low undertone of anxiety and depression and overwhelm and you just feel like you don't really matter and that is not the best way to live as a human man I'm telling you that right now like we are put on this planet you are put on this planet to do something big to do something great to impact lives to be an Agent of Change how does a man win at life over and over again when another man continues to struggle and just has these failures to launch well it's simple it's the athlete mindset versus The Spectator mindset begin this is where it begins in the Darkness before the sun and the birds and the world every day when little sounds it's time rise despite fatigue and soreness curse the warmth of the bed curse the color pillow fight the temptation of weakness get up and go do it quickly without thought do not reason with weakness you cannot we must only take action get up and go [Applause] and then the one shows up the one one person changes the family tree forever in my family I'm the one and it wasn't because I wanted it or I'd hoped for it I fought for it I want to win I want to fight for my family I want my mom and dad proud of me I want my kids proud of me I want me proud of me I want to look in the mirror and be happy with the man I look back at that he gave it everything that he went for it foreign accomplishments come from doing ordinary things for Extraordinary periods of time working out and doing reps is not extraordinary it's the fact that you do it for 20 straight years nothing about that is extraordinary it's the dedication to doing it over and over and over and over again despite feeling like there's better opportunities despite people approaching you with new and exciting things but saying that you're committed to the original Vision you had and that not the action itself but your commitment to the action is what makes someone extraordinary not the thing itself and to me that made being extraordinary possible at some point you're going to have the courage at some point you're going to have the confidence and it's total [ __ ] and so there are so many people in the world and and you know you may be watching this right now and you have these incredible ideas and what you think is missing is motivation and that's not true because the way that our minds are wired and the fact about human beings is that we are not designed to do things that are uncomfortable or scary or difficult our brains are designed to protect us from those things because our brains are trying to Keep Us Alive and in order to change in order to build a business in order to be the best parent the best spouse to do all those things that you know you want to do with your life with your work with your dreams you're going to have to do things that are difficult uncertain or scary decision making is the force that shakes Destiny how many of you can think of Disney the decisions that you made years ago one or two decisions 5 10 15 years ago that that position you need a reels it at the time but that decision was one of the most important decisions of your life you've made a different decision there you go in a different direction your life and be completely different to that [Music] you've got to decide in this life whether you want to be entitled or you want to earn if it's entitlement you're looking for you'll never be remembered in history you'll be the person that could have been should have been and what could have been if somebody had given you but you don't have a right to be given anything earn it take it take control of your life take Dominion I don't care how good you are on anything you don't have discipline you ain't nobody the reason most people fail is because they give up what they want most for what they want now if you're going through a really hard time the dark days eventually pass and clear away and the Sun comes back and so whatever you're going through know that this is temporary and that soon the Sun is going to come out again [Music] and there's a time to die so I want you to know you're going to die and there's nothing you can do about it but what I would hope that you would do is I hope you would live I gotta say no matter how hard it may be no matter how impossible it may seem no matter how much this year sucks I'm still gonna get the greatest me out of this I'm still gonna step up to the plate and some of you right now are thinking tomorrow not many people said tomorrow took their talents to the Grave [Music] and I say that that the reason that we don't even Explore the possibility of what to do is because subconsciously we don't believe that it can happen for us and we don't believe that we deserve it so here's what I'm suggesting how much time do you spend working on you how much time do you spend every day working on your dream there is work that must be done beyond what people see people see your check they see the car you drive they see the house you own but what they don't see is when you're staying up and putting in 16 hours of work now so that you can relax and enjoy later hard work is how you get in it and anything you give without hard work has no value no matter if you want face no matter how bad it is going to be when there is a challenge and by a challenge I mean anything in life any any challenge anything that you're facing the only way to overcome the challenges that you face is to start walking do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be right like courage do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be and so anytime you got to be courageous let's look at it from the standpoint of Dreams goals and aspirations you got your dream your goal and your aspiration and then you got reality and oftentimes reality doesn't reflect the goal of the dream and the aspiration and so when you think courage like being courageous and following your heart because it somehow knows what you want to do it's almost like when you feel something that you should do and for some strange reason like your mind or your spirit tells you now I don't want to do it because it takes you outside of your comfort zone but you know you should do it you could feel it and then you go against it happiness as a name is shallow and weak it cannot withstand suffering obviously because when you're suffering you're not happy and if the purpose of life is to be happy then when you're suffering your life has no meaning and first of all don't aim at being happy because that's just not going to work especially when the storms come and forget about that and there's going to be times in your life where you're suffering so much you can't believe it and so you're going to need something a hell of a lot more robust than happiness to get you through that and then you might say well what's more robust than happiness or maybe even what's more robust than pain how about Adventure how about we go out and sail the Uncharted Seas the first way to get focus is to find purpose the way to find purpose is you must identify what it is that you have to be purposeful in right when you are struggling with what to do who you are what's your next move you are in an identity crisis you are struggling with just Who You Are see you have not discovered Who You Are playing gonna happen we can delay it right when you don't want to be courageous when we don't want to encounter that level of faith that we know we need along our journey for our goals dreams and aspirations you can delay it but courage that's a different ball game that's pressing forward in the face of opposition adversity uncertainty they're from ball game but the question remains do you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be that's the essence of courage to me Turn the Page you had some bad chapters Turn the Page what is your wake-up call what is enslaving you you what is controlling your thoughts [Music] is it the television set feeding your mind images of what life should be is it the internet drawing you in and controlling your time or is it weakness [Music] a lack of discipline that prevents you from accomplishing what you want to accomplish [Music] it's important for lost young people male and female alike to develop a vision and take on some responsibility and understand that they have a vital role to play in the world that the lack of their best hurts everything and I think that's true and the sad thing is that there's very many people who have not heard an encouraging word in their life and it takes so little to encourage them that it's rather tragic [Music] you have to discover who you are in order to move you forward if no one ever gave you the directions when you get up and you get up in the morning you go get in the car or you walk out your door you have a destination in mind go outside with no destination what do you do [Music] around [Music] once you don't have a destination you are going to wander around you cannot get in your car without a destination whether you why do you drive so you are in an identity crisis [Music] because when you think about true courage I look at it as a person being who they authentically were made to be in every Avenue and every aspect of their life when they walk out of the door in the morning they are who they're supposed to be it takes courage to be that I'm not saying that there are things in life that we just have to do there are and don't believe everything that you're told and don't follow the path just because it's there [Applause] don't get in line just because other people are [Applause] those times when you get up early and you work hard those times when you stay up late and you work hard those times where you don't feel like working you're too tired you don't want to push yourself but you do it anyway that is actually the dream that's the dream it's not the destination it's the journey yeah here's what you should know about winning before you chase it when it's not loyal to you it doesn't care about you winning doesn't care how sore you are when he doesn't care how much sleep you get when he doesn't care how hard you work at times when it requires all of you and then more and it promises you nothing it's a mastermind of creating fear and doubt in your mind it causes setback after setback so the question is about winning are you willing to Sprint when the distance are known and why chase this thing called winning because the only thing that's guaranteed in life if you don't chase it is losing [Music] you have only one life so don't waste it being controlled by someone else sharpen your sword and by that I mean your body your mind your spirit and then go out there into the world and slay those dragons the distrust that we carry with us about things that happen externally to US during our development during our youth door in our moments of vulnerability we have to be willing to let go of it so that we can grow through it we have to be willing to let go so that we can become but a lot of us what we do is we live our life on repeat we spend time right living our life on repeat we spend time in the same mess we spend time in the same situation we spend time in the same stress and we spend our life like that right we won't change we want to do better we want all these things but we're continuing to spend time on things that move us further away from it evil does exist and it's out there it's a mob it is a frenzy it is pent up frustration and anger it is jealousy and it is envy and it is resentment and it is out there and it is also in all of us and it is up to all of us to fight it you can only have two things in life reasons or results notice reasons don't count folks will always point out reasons on why they are not living their dream on why they're not manifesting their greatness they will always be able to point those things out but none of those things count the only thing that counts or results and results don't lie ladies and gentlemen they tell it all judge a tree by the fruit that it bears not the ones that it might talk about not the ones that it might wish for or think about or firm about it but the fruit that it actually bears because the truth is and most people don't want to hear this but it's the truth Ain't Nothing Gonna Change until you get sick and tired of being sick and tired Ain't Nothing Gonna Change until you say you know what I'm not repeating this another day in my life I'm not going to be the same person I was yesterday life is not perfect [Music] and it isn't going to be easy but it is all you've got so make it a good run and make sure you enjoy the jam and you do that by getting out there every day and getting after it I don't think that as a participant in life you cannot be committed you either committed to mediocrity or you committed to Greatness you're either committed to being productive while you're committed to being non-productive you're committed to being happy or you're committed to being unhappy see whatever you're doing however you spend your time that tells you who you are I have to be willing to let go of the thing that wants to hold you prisoner most of us have stayed in the jail cell of a mental prison long beyond the years of our sentencing because our fingers we have only known the pain and we have fear and pleasure would never be something you can possess what's your fear must come in conflict with your faith your faith is that you can become more because you have deserved better and that the thing that came against you is not greater than the thing that is inside [Music] and give up give up don't let the world get you down when it does get you down get up and write what you want out of your life and go [ __ ] stop you know what I'm saying you get up every [ __ ] day you look in the mirror you tell that mirror I'm a bad [ __ ] how to turn nothing into something [Music] first to turn nothing into something you start with ideas and Imagination [Music] these are jobs we lose our loved ones anything and everything can change in one day and when it does don't get caught back on your heels [Music] instead go forward and go on the attack and continue to fight I'm gonna take ownership over my freaking life and I'ma stop living like that because the truth of the matter is a lot of us we living like we got time man you don't have time stop living like that like that you don't have time you can't stop time the sun is Gonna Keep Rising It's Gonna Keep Rising the moon's gonna keep coming up It's Gonna Keep rising over and over and over again I realize that the things that you experience in life are making you bigger and better and stronger and faster and wiser so you become something by dealing with the thing that tried to destroy you it is not about holding on it's about letting go so that you can grow it's an interesting thing ladies and gentlemen that when we put ourselves in a situation where we say we're going to do it puts you in another Zone where the universe responds to you when you have that kind of Consciousness see the universe responds to the man or woman that refuses to be denied because that is your commitment it isn't going to knock on your door you have to kick that door in you have to make things happen you have to initiate action and you do that by going out there every day and getting after it [Music] apparently the stress and the worries and the fear it arises somewhere and that somewhere is individually always inside one self and this is that Paradox part sometimes about this world that you know when you are sad the sadness is inside of you when you worry about something it's your worry you worry but nevertheless we try to fix this issue we try to look for the solution yeah not inside of you you try to find it out there you're taking massive action and getting better and better at executing there's only one more thing you need to get whatever you want and that's Grace some called luck something called Grace you might call God but there's no question in my life that Grace is there it's those things that show up to guide you when you've done the first two steps and your intent is something larger than just yourself and so as you begin to look to live on a boat beginning to embrace that it's possible I'm blessed and highly favored I a hot coin for me I got some good stuff in me and it's possible that I can bring my greatness out here in the universe that I can do what I want to do it's possible I can write my own book I can have my own business I I can take the trip and travel around the world it's possible I can bounce back from adversity and reinvent my life it's possible regardless of where I am the things can get better for me it's possible what you say to yourself matters and we understand that from a common sense perspective but somewhere along the line we have all stopped saying you're going to make it you got this and we've started saying you're a piece of [ __ ] you're not good enough why even bother and when you start your day by saying I look terrible I screwed up again yesterday I hate my life that's not going to motivate you to change it and so your sense of feeling like the effort is worth it begins and ends with how encouraging supportive and kind you are to yourself we're hypnotized were conditioned into believing we need a reason for gratitude or Joy until I get that I'm this if you have the thought of your future and you feel the lack that it's not there then you're back to the victim right but if you can have the thought and the thought actually produces just like fear the thought of something terrible happening in your life creates the feeling of fear the thought of something wonderful in your life creating the feeling of gratitude then when you think about your future you begin to emotionally condition your body into that future now here's the payoff lots of the electrical charge in the quantum field and feelings of the magnetic charge in the quantum field and how you think and how you feel broadcasts information and energy into the field question is what are you broadcasting every single day [Music] so present Stakes they're not pursuing Mastery it's costing so much energy it's like they will tell you like I'm not paid enough I'm not getting a lot from the world I'm not very successful no one applauds me I don't have a nice home I don't have a nice whatever you're not looking in the mirror and I call it APR absolute personal responsibility stop lying to yourself take a good hard look at your mindset hearts at Hell set and soul set you're creating it and that is what the law of thinking is when you learn how it works miracles happen [Music] what you think and what you believe it's what will come true for you your thoughts create your life it's that simple and when we can get that we can make enormous changes you see you are what you are and where you are because of what's gone into your mind you can change what you are you can change Where You Are by changing what goes into your mind 98 of the people in our Western Civilization have a picture of themselves which is so narrow and so shallow that it literally Bears no resemblance to the real person who is there so many people have been told so many times what they cannot do that they have no idea what they can do they have no no idea what they want in life because they have no idea what is available to them the picture they have of themselves will not permit themselves to see some of the Magnificent things that are available I've looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself if today were the last day of my life what I want to do what I am about to do today and whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row I know I need to change something I don't know what your future is but if you're willing to take the heart away the more complicated one the one with more failures at first their successes [Music] the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning more Victory more Glory then you will not regret it whatever you choose for a career path remember the struggles along the way are only myth to shape you for your purpose the fire of motivation the fire of trying to achieve something for a better version of yourself is something that if you practice it long enough you can recall it because you have fire inside of you a strong mind goes together with strong body I think there is a similarity with it because you cannot read to have a strong body if there is not the fuel behind it that gave you the push the motivation to do so in order to finally develop in that if you're struggling right now and you're having a hard time and you're pissed off and you're frustrated no two things one you're not alone two this is necessary for you to get where you want to go and if you quit if you falter if you stop all the pain will be for nothing and you need to remember that when it feels scary to jump in that is exactly when you jump otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life and that I can't do [Music] foreign what do you do when you don't have people to turn to what are you doing you don't have the support system you once had what do you do when you feel like you're less of a person because of the struggle you're in and if you told people they would look at you oddly what do you do when your pride is at stake what do you do is you stop living on pride and you start digging inside start to believe that the same way you got in this hole there's a path out of it the work it took the things that that happened that brought you to this situation are not greater than the skill set that is within you what is you have in your hand if you dug yourself into a hole you still have your hands put your hands to work put your faith to work put your heart into it the same way you've dug your way into the hole you can same path out of the hole which is use what you have and a lot more people have pain a lot more people have anger a lot more people have shame and if you can use that as your gas in the beginning you'll eventually get to a point where you can get out of that Loop and then find something that you are really passionate about but if you can't tie your shoes you can't lift the weight you can't send the DM you have to start with whatever you have you worry about something that someone did to you years ago you're being see to yourself man you're not getting out there and squeezing that [ __ ] soul out every day I got time about you man because tomorrow I gotta go back to the grind and tomorrow I go back to the ground again and again and again and again I don't have time to put you into the hate bank there's no hate it's all filtered out man through the grinds thank you if there is something that you can to a hundred percent adjust and control in this life it can only be yourself if there's something which is a hundred percent in your control it must be yourself what else should it be [Music] and so if you think there is a possibility to master something [Music] to take responsibility something then I think it is it must be related first of all to your being you know how you got it you know the situations you know the circumstances you know how it began to overwhelm you since you know that put the knowledge to use stop being afraid of it don't create this monster that you think that you can't face the idea of going broke if you've been broke you're at the bottom if you're at the bottom you can look up and if you can look up you can get up and if you can get up stay up and if you can stay up you can climb up and if you can climb up you you fall you don't get up in the morning when you're feeling tired scared if you don't execute you're not just cheating yourself dude you're cheating your family you're cheating your whatever you're a part of it's bigger than you man short-term thinking says one workout doesn't matter I can skip it short short-term thinking encourages you to make short-term emotional decisions that hurt you in the long run the further from the path you will stray [Applause] [Music] see in life you can go through life you can come up with reasons or you can come up with results you can come up with excuses or you can come up with achievements you can go through life blaming or you can come up with Solutions the choice is in your hands satisfaction or despair we can choose that your dreams are just around the corner but you've got to get out of the nightmare you see the greatest thing that you have is you it's the tool that God gave you [Music] there's not one person that you look up to not one that gets up every day and says this is [ __ ] amazing I can't wait to do this no matter what they tell you on social media they still have bad days they still have days where they want to do something else the difference is they don't because they're committed you can be the person who's committed you could be the person who says this is going to [ __ ] work no matter what happens no matter how frustrated I get no matter how angry I get no matter what I'm [ __ ] doing this those are the people that are gonna win people want to know how to stop the laziness and they want to know how to stop the procrastination and you know they have some idea in their head you know some kind of uh a vision of what they want to do but they don't know where to start they don't know where to start it you know they don't know where to start and so they say hey where do I start and and when's the best time to start and I have a very simple answer for that Here and Now who say you want to be great let your actions let your words displayed at if you say you really want to be elite that your actions and let your words display that right you can't be a common man and do uncommon things that's uncommon that's an uncommon mentality that's an uncommon Spirit that's the uncommon disposition don't ask me if I'm like nor are we not every single day do you dominate in what you do you got to come out your comfort zone because your comfort zone is the deadliest place you will ever be you should never feel you should be happy and dissatisfied the Masters make the hardest things in the world look easiest and in the moments where you push yourself when no one else is around those moments have a tendency to lead to success [Music] thank you as we begin to look at what we want as we begin to look toward the future what's going to be crucial for you is every time you find yourself saying that you can't do something you've got to affirm to yourself hey hey no no no I can make it this can happen for me you've got powers within you talents within you that you haven't even reached for yet now whatever goal you have here's what we know you're going to have some opposition you're gonna have some difficulties you're gonna have some challenges long journey long dark night look when you hold on to your dream don't let anybody kill it in you just hold on to that tree when it doesn't make sense to anybody include sometimes just hold on once you give yourself an opportunity to try and just stretch you'll find out you can do more than you can ever begin to imagine what are your goals to get the goals you get the goal how many guys are going after you achieved it with is this all there is that's worse than failing isn't it because most of you if you fail you're driven right you'll dust yourself up get up and go for it again you're gonna get there so I want you to understand something the purpose of life is not to get your goals the purpose of life is who you become to achieve your goals stop doing the things that you know are wrong that you couldn't stop doing but we will presume that there are things that you're doing that for one reason or other you know are not in your best interests there's something about them that you just know you should stop they're kind of self-evident to you other things you're going to be doubtful about you're not going to know which way is up and which way is down but there are things that you're doing that you know you shouldn't do but there's another subset that you couldn't stop doing it might be little thing well that's fine stop doing it let's see what happened and every day you fight not want to get up and you do anyway you chip another piece off that rock and every day you [ __ ] eat the right foods and every day you go to train you train hard and harder and harder and harder and you get up early and all these things you do to start forming yourself you're chipping another [ __ ] piece of that rock up before you know it get this beautiful [ __ ] piece of artwork that you built can you be committed to the process of what you're doing without being emotionally attached to the results of what you're doing I'm gonna ask you again can you be committed to the process of what you're doing without being emotionally attached to the results of what you're doing if the outcome of the result changes will you still be the same individual you gotta stop waiting for somebody else to give you permission to become the person you want to become if you want to be an author write and as soon as you start writing you're an author if you want to become a musician play music every day and you're a musician nobody needs to give you permission your problem is you're up here thinking about it when you need to get out of your head and just start doing it because the second you start doing it you become it it doesn't matter what you say it matters what you do and if I want to figure out what you believe I don't ask you I watch how you act and I assume that your true beliefs are those that are directing your actions and so truth is discovered in action and that's a very different claim you know and it's it's not the claim of a passive Observer it's the claim of someone who's actively interacting with the world and of course we are always acting we're always acting interactively with the world and not only that if we don't enact interactively with the world we cease to exist now the true task is never forgetting it right even when we become successful even when things go really well and we hit a rough pass the challenge is never forget in the spirit the fill in the thought process and when we went through those moments of preparation what it took to get over the hump to get through the rough patches and to continue to press forward right that's what I always say to people never allow life to make you forget why you do what you do because a cat can become so successful they can become a victim of their own success we all live in this bubble but you got to do to give the life to God wants you to have you got to put more air in your bubble you got to blow your bubble up expand yourself take yourself out your comfort zone do not live in your bubble put some more air in your bubble whatever happened last week happened last week whatever happened last year your girlfriend dumped it you got to get up look at the man in the mirror and go this is what I'm doing today with it ain't liking it man I don't give a [ __ ] everybody's focusing on the stupidity things that they got on the move but why shouldn't lose no more I give you the real song commitment means standing up for your life it means honoring yourself it's always too hard it's too hard we don't challenge our spirit ladies and gentlemen there's nothing as powerful as the human Spirit you can't destroy it you can pervert it but you can't destroy the grave is a reminder that all of us have a limited time on Earth long after we are gone our families will remember us by the day we were born what year you would have been in this particular year things that you used to do where Pat messages you used to pass on memories that experiences that they had with you and that memory will last for a generation but then there will be a generation that didn't know anything about you unless you do something Monumental with the time you still have well I think the deck is stacked against everyone to some degree because slate is very difficult and we all die so but people some people do have it harder than others and and all of us have it very hard at some times in our lives it's like well what's the what's the alternative you take responsibility for that and try to struggle uphill because the alternative makes everything worse bitter should they be bitter should they be resentful should they become violent these things don't help they have to struggle uphill despite their excess burden and it's responsibility not guilt no it's not necessarily their fault that's not the point you stop dreaming you stop believing you stop seeking when you're gonna realize that you hurt that's what I want to know at some point you let the world put shackles around your imagination you let the world put shackles around your life to keep you in a place that you are no longer supposed to be at you allowed the world to imprison you in your past you are you let people judge you like they perfect I hope that you understand that every single person that you look at every single person that you admire every single person that you aspire to be like is literally just a regular human [ __ ] being like you that has worked their [ __ ] ass off your days are not just mark on the day you were born that Dash matters in that Dash your life is so fleeting so fast so small so short that you cannot simply lay aside your expectations your goals your dreams your aspirations you need to pick them up you need to chase after everything with everything you have and discover what's been locked within you that needs to be released so that the rest of the world can find relief all of us have seen our destiny at some point in time and we decided not to listen we decided to ignore and say no that's that's not for me life came in and slapped beside the head and we stopped dreaming anymore Victor Thomas said the impulse to dream has been slowly beaten out of me through the experience of life and that's what causes many of us to give up on our volcano the experiences and the challenges the defeats the disappointments and the failures of life and we decide to prematurely throw in the towel on ourselves or to sell out on our troop attention sell out on living our dreams feeling that we're not good enough not wanting to make any mistakes particularly if you're raised with a great deal of criticism so you've got to be willing to prepare yourself and do the best you can take your best shot and let the chips fall where they made let their demands and their trials make you stronger but the adversity you face today turn you into a better person tomorrow so so in the future you look back at these struggles and you say to them thank you you made me better so if you lose and you jump right back up and you haven't really changed I mean really really changed from that loss you're never going to learn from it and you're never going to really truly know the unforgiving race to greatest because that's the that's part of the unforgiving part is the losing part that part is unforgiving there are too many talents given to you assigned to just you and if you can unleash them if you can only unlock them if you could do something with them and that small dash of a lifespan that we have you can change Earth you can touch lives in ways that no one ever imagined because there was something about your skill set that when it connects to others we do something amazing there is an obligation that you have to make sure that before you get to that grave a presence on this Earth like what's the point of having dreams y'all what's the point of having dreams if they're going to stay that if they're gonna stay dreams forever they gotta get to a point where you actually live in those dreams you're gonna get to the point where those dreams turn reality for you those dreams become your reality it's time for me to live it it's time for you to breathe it it's time for you to be here it's time now to get more dedicated to get less distracted to go deeper if you want to be great you want to be a badass [ __ ] ever at which you do you could be misunderstood by everybody because you're going to be so [ __ ] obsessed and so driven to get there that's what it takes it takes every second of your [ __ ] life anybody says balance yeah balance is important for a lot of [ __ ] people people it is but if you want to go to that edge where people do not like you don't understand you question everything you can do you have arrived when people don't understand you anymore you're in that spot of obsession and drive you can think about it you can wish for it you can hope for it you can think all about it all as long as you want but unless you get out every single [ __ ] day and put in the work inch by inch by [ __ ] you will never get there right it's time to get more dedicated it's time to go deeper it's time to be less distracting I promise you if you do these three things growth is going to happen if you do these three things you're gonna go into the depth of your dreams and get those diamonds out it's all on you let's get it when you're balanced properly between order and Novelty that manifests itself to you as deep engagement and that's the signal it's not merely cognitive it's way deeper than that that you're in the right place doing the right thing at the right time and everyone wants that all the time like images of paradise are representations of that state of being so it's there for you but there are preconditions that you strive to aim at the best and that has to be your fundamental ethos and it's a decision that despite all of the calamities of being that your primary ethical obligation is to work for the betterment of yourself and others [Music] how come you lack the sense of agency Control Authority in your life why are we in so much emotional pain and the loneliness the lack of power lack of control the anxiety these are forms of emotional pain so my Mantra on addiction is not why the addiction but why the pain [Music] but it actually is is an attempt to solve a human life problem a lot of emotional pain loneliness distress anxiety whatever it is and the real question then is what happened in my life that we incurred pain and then how do we deal with our pain because the addiction itself magnifies the pain [Music] the place that it increases it exponentially it begins in pain as Eckhart told me the spiritual teacher says and they end in pain you have to do the process the process is non-negotiable it's just you have to do it all right so if you have to do something I don't have highs about it or loans about it I know it has to get done and if I let my emotions get involved in it why it's not going to get done to its best abilities so if people say you got to love the process and then something comes in the process that you don't really love but you have to do it you have to do you take emotions out of it and you do it the process is a non-negotiable thing but the end result is not almost there that win isn't always that you can go through the whole process and somebody went through didn't be as meticulous as you and they may get that win because winning has no loyalty to any of us you know people that don't work as hard they end up getting they end up getting that way people that aren't as qualified for the job they end up getting that they end up getting that win do you stop the process no you continue to get more maniacal with the process over and over and over again because it's through the humanities that you that you make contact with the magic of your culture and that makes you more than merely the child of your parents because you are more than merely the child of your parents you're the child of Nature and you're the child of culture and until you understand what that means understand that you have two sets of parents like the Divine hero always has two sets of parents you you can't screw yourself properly as an individual you're not situated properly in the world you don't know what your responsibilities are you can't Orient your values properly and you will suffer from them because life is so difficult you have to do something that's truly worthwhile in order to justify from time to time you may stumble fall you will for sure count on this No Doubt you will have questions you will have doubts about your path but I know this if you're willing to listen to be guided by that still Small Voice that is the GPS within yourself [Music] to find out what makes you come alive you will be more than okay [Music] you will be happy [Music] you will be successful [Music] and you will make a difference in the world [Music] if you do what it is that you're called upon to do which is to lift your eyes up above the mundane daily selfish impulsive issues that might beset you and attempt to enter into a contractual relationship with that which you might hold in the highest regard whatever that might be to aim high and to make that important above all else in your life that that fortifies you against the vicissitudes of existence like nothing else can truly believe that that's the most practical advice that you could possibly receive [Music] [Music] and you can't be comfortable with yourself if you don't know who yourself is and you can't know who yourself is if you don't stop looking at how everybody around you is and start looking at what makes you comfortable and What Makes You uniquely you there's roughly close to I guess about eight billion people on this planet but there's only one you that you're in the right place doing the right thing at the right time and everyone wants that all the time like images of paradise are representations of that state of being so it's there for you but there are preconditions that you strive to aim at the best and that has to be your fundamental ethos and it's a decision that despite all of the calamities of being that your primary ethical obligation is to work for the betterment of yourself and others escapable there is no way out [Music] and death in that death and like the contrast between the darkness and the light without death then there is no life then the people that I've lost they taught me that oh they taught me how precious life is how blessed we are to have every day to learn and to grow and to laugh and to live [Music] you've got to dream don't lose your dreams for yourself for your future for your family the dreams of love and Enterprise and travel and doing things becoming something unique on your journey here don't lose your dreams do some dreaming you'll not find [Music] confidence in yourself if you don't know who yourself is you won't find confidence in yourself if you're so busy trying to figure out what everybody around you thinks you ought to be and then match that because you're not going to make people around you happy you're not going to Okay so you need to be you [Music] to live every day with purpose and with passion to wake up in the morning and be thankful thankful for that morning and thankful for the opportunity to go out into the world and live for them for those that don't have the opportunity for those that were stolen away by deaths cool hand so what is possible and what is not possible is not your business that is Nature's business nature will decide that you just see what is it that you really want and strive for that and if your thought is created in a powerful way without any negativity without any negative thoughts Bringing Down the intensity of the thought process the first and foremost thing is you must be clear what is it that you really want if you do not know what you want the question of creating it doesn't arise if you look at what you really want what every human being wants is he wants to live joyfully he wants to live peacefully in terms of its relationships he wants it to be loving and affectionate or in other words all that any human being is seeking for is pleasantness within himself pleasantness around him but let's not dwell instead let's laugh and let's love and let's Embrace and cherish everything that life is and every opportunity it gives us live [Music] it's your unlimited desires that are clouding your peace your happiness every desire you have is an access where you will suffer so just don't focus on more than one desire at a time the universe is rigged in such a way that if you just want one thing and you focus on that you'll get it but everything else you gotta let go that life is meaningless it was not a flippant assertion I think it's absurd the idea of seeking meaning in the set of circumstances that happens to exist after 13.8 billion years worth of unguided events leave it to humans to think the universe has a purpose for them however I am no nihilist I'm not even a cynic I am actually rather romantic and here's my idea of romance [Music] the life will sometimes seem long and tough and God it's tiring and you will sometimes be happy and sometimes sad and then you'll be old and then you'll be dead there is only one sensible thing to do with this empty existence and that is fill it fill it and in my opinion until I change it life is best filled by learning as much as you can about as much as you can taking pride in whatever you're doing having compassion sharing ideas running being enthusiastic and then there's love and travel and wine and art and kids and giving and mountain climbing but you know all that stuff already it's an incredibly exciting thing this one meaningless life of yours [Music] life was always giving you a test trying to give you a way out try and get the excuse not to show up this is my excuse today but guess what you gotta have the mentality to show up every [ __ ] day of your life no matter what life throws at you I don't care what you're going through with life thrown at you it's your responsibility to find some new hundred percent everything that's happening to you is God is processing every difficult moment you're having he just processing it that's all he do it everything you're going through is preparing you for what you ask God for and if you need to be tough when you get to where you're going then he gonna toughen you if you got to be more caring along the way you're gonna let you have some Trials come your way that's gonna have to produce that end foreign [Music] stay on the path unfortunately the opposite is also true once you step off the path you tend to stray far when you don't prepare what you need to do the next day when you sleep in and then skip your workout and you don't start attacking the tasks that you have because you didn't write them down the night before that is when you make bad decisions that is when your will and discipline fail to other people cause they're not going to see it because God is talking to you he Ard he's showing you something that he has for you there will be people who will see your talents your time your abilities all those gifts that you have and they will want to take advantage of it but you've got to be careful protect your gift realize that your gift is something that you can't waste you have to learn to look at yourself and find the value and then put value to it every day it increases every day that you survive every day that you learn something you increase in your value don't get settled for a job it's your dreams your aspirations keep chipping away at them and by parent yourself I mean it's your job to make yourself do the crap you don't want to do so you can be everything that you're supposed to be and you're so damn busy waiting to feel like it and you're never going to cut James you should change you won't change that's called accumulated disaster could should and will start this whole process and if you will then put it into action the miracle belongs to you because self-control is a power in fact it's a superpower once you have that you have everything you need to succeed just don't get comfortable just don't get settled get hungry disciplined habits and self-control well you shouldn't be afraid of taking risks and pursuing something meaningful or afraid of staying where you are if it's making you miserable you're paying a price by sitting there being miserable and you might say well the devil I know is better than the one I don't it's like don't be so sure of that the clock is ticking yeah and if you're miserable in your job now and you change nothing in five years you will be much more miserable and you'll be a lot older get on the path of discipline deployment stay on the path discipline begets discipline will propagates more will [Music] no one's coming no one no one's coming to push you no one's coming to tell you to turn the TV off no one's coming to tell you to get out the door and exercise nobody's coming to tell you to apply for that job that you've always dreamed about and because you're only ever going to do the things that you feel like doing right now or that feel good right now unless you understand you have to push yourself you're not going to make your dreams come true that as you go through the challenges of life and you look at it and embrace whatever comes to you don't run from it step toward it don't try and duck it like most people do see most people want it easy see if you easy come easy what easy go see but when you go at what you're going to deal with and you deal with the difficulty difficulties of it when you handle those hard things close at hand making those hard decisions right now that you don't want to make learning those things that you don't like to do but you know that in order for you to get where you want to go this is one of the Hoops that you have to flip through and I'm saying to you whatever you got to do do it because if you don't life is going to whoop you until you surrender sort 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 lie to yourself you have to tell yourself the truth and 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 done feelings aren't a choice your behavior and your thoughts are always a choice it's only natural to wonder what do I do now I listen to everyone I went to school I got good grades I dedicated myself would this mean I automatically be successful will a job come to me look for me give me the opportunity I walk in and will it be fulfilled no if all you're doing is waiting for a door to open up you've made a mistake you got to grab it by the hinges and rip it off and open up doors yourself you've got to desire more than a paycheck you've got to enter into a workplace with a mindset that I came to make an impact to me I came to find my meaning my purpose to follow my passion because to not make a decision it also has a cost and sometimes the cost of not making a decision is far worse than the cost of making a decision even if the decision is risky and so one of the things you can derive from that and this is very useful I think is that contemplate your mortality for this class you're screwed no matter what you do you know and that actually frees you is that you you have pave that has catastrophes and you have path B that has catastrophes and you don't get to have the no catastrophe path but you get to pick which one and that's really something because if you know that there's terrible risk associated with everything that you do and don't do then you can afford to take some risks despite the fact that your life is essentially catastrophic you can you can make a covenant with the highest ideal and that will take you through it the best way possible we aren't happy because we're living in a time that is done we aren't happy because we're trying to change something that can't be changed we aren't happy because we're still hoping and wishing things can go back to how they used to be and how they work it is impossible to move forward with your life it's impossible to move on with your life if you are still trying to recreate something and go back to a time that is done and a lot of us are what we're doing we're hoping and praying to bring things back in our life that aren't good for us everybody on the face of this planet wants something from California to Boston to New York to Atlanta to Florida you can go to somebody say hey man what do you want man I want this I want a house for my family I want this much money in the bank I want to crush it in my everybody wants something it's like that quote that says everybody wants to win but everybody doesn't have the will to prepare to win everybody wants a victory right everybody wants it right the question that changed it was no longer about what do you want now it's about what are you willing to go through in order to get it your dreams are too big to import too valuable two uh too impactful in the lives of others for you to just settle you got to believe that there's some reason you're unfortunate you are not a robot you are not to follow the path that's pre-programmed by others you're supposed to look at the script and rewrite the ending the way you want there's more to what you've been called to do than acceptance you've come to make a disturbance into the atmosphere the Earth should know that there's something different about your arrival [Music] uh [Applause] I would say that not only you want to stop being scared to do that thing that you don't know if you can do or not but you know what you got to do is you gotta start taking the steps now [Music] because when you're 18 years old your life seems like it's gonna last forever and I will tell you right now it's not gonna last forever and those years go by like a summer's day and the next thing you know you look up in your 36 years old or you're 44 years old and that time's gone you cannot get it back you cannot get time back so those dreams that you have those goals that you have don't put them off another second not one second get on them and go out and make them happen starting right now happiness is not an external thing it's an inside job stop depend on things outside of you to make you happy stop depending on things outside of you to give you peace stopping on things outside of you to give you Joy stop depending on things outside of you to make you love yourself those things are an inside job happiness comes from within you shouldn't be dependent on something or someone to give you something that you should be giving yourself because you are you're so uniquely different that there is absolutely nothing like you to ever be born unless you decide to carbon copy yourself after someone else [Music] you got a desire you gotta justify the reason why you were given all these gifts and you're on the way to do it as if you've got to put yourself through the blindness you gotta find out [Music] am I only standing because others have held me up or have I gotten them back with everything that I've gone through it made me strong and firm [Music] because they've already said no to themselves see it's time now you want to make this your decade you've got to start saying yes to your life you've got to start saying yes to your dreams yes to your unfolding future yes to your potential as opposed to saying no see 87 of our self-talk is negative so you've got to make a conscious deliberate determined effort to say yes to your dreams why not why not me don't spend time like most people going through life complaining you have to realize do something with it become something with it stand out in such a way that there is a legacy and that Legacy is a thing that lingers so that your children can look up to you and Enviro you got to think about if this is the last place this is my senior year this is it for me when you leave that Legacy will anyone ever remember that you were number 36 44 or whatever your number was or they know that's your name for they know that you may matter [Music] the name on the front is the team the name on the back is you what will you become what Legacy will you leave what matters most to you in life that Legacy in order about making be about making sure you become what you have than anyone thought possible foreign
