Some of you don't even realize you have unfinished business. You need to go back where you left off with a new perspective. Go back to the gym, go back to the drawing board, go back to the business, go back to the relationship, go back to the burning building. You have unfinished business. All you got to do is show up with a new game plan and a new perspective. You've got unfinished business. You have unfinished business. You got work to do. Perspective is everything. Let's go, I need you
to hear me loud and clear how you see this thing is everything. You cannot change the past but you can change
your perspective about it. You got to see this thing differently. Stop complaining about the divorce, stop complaining about the job loss, stop complaining about the relocation. Your viewpoint is your advantage. Thank you for breaking up with me. Here's what you did, you opened up another opportunity
for somebody else to come into my life. Thank you for firing me, you gave me an opportunity
to explore entrepreneurship. I'm not bitter, I’m better. Perspective is what changes the game. Everybody wants increase
and abundance and lifestyle change and new zip codes and new area codes but you only read once a week and you only work out
once or twice a month. And so the reason why you don't have
what it is that you seek, the reason why what's in your head
is not in your hands it's not your reality it's because your perspective
opposes your potential. You don't have it because you don't see the value in it. If you believe you've been called
to be the difference maker, the game changer, the disrupter, the person that comes into a room
and commands the atmosphere. If you believe you've been called
to be necessary and not grossly irrelevant then everything you do, everything you see, everything rises and falls on your perspective, your perception,
your viewpoint. How do you see this thing? What happens when your perspective, your perception diametrically opposes your reality? If you are going to give and grow and evolve and attain and become, everything rises and falls on your viewpoint. Show me somebody that hates to work out and I’ll show you a man
that almost lost his life and the doctor said
if you don't work out you'll die. One sees it as cumbersome. One sees it as a problem. Another one sees it as a privilege. He sees it as his second chance. His new lease on life that I have to work out,
I get to work out I get a chance to live a little longer. So one person sees the gym as a prison and another person sees the gym
as a passport. One man came within inches
of losing his life and another man has never come within
a hundred miles of losing his life and he only works out twice a month and somebody else works out
four or five times a week the reason why you only do it
once or twice a month is because you don't see the value. Your viewpoint is either
your advantage or your assassin. Your viewpoint will either
get you going or get you killed. We see a storm, we see rain and we think depression we think I can't do anything instead of thinking, grass can't grow without rain roses don't bloom without rain. Number one, there's one thing I need you
to stop saying and that is I should do something. That perspective, that viewpoint, that ideology, that philosophy, that mindset is going to get you bankrupt. I should start this. I should stop that. I should forgive. I should you don't get what you should you get what you must have. I must work out X amount of times a week. I must forgive. I must evolve. I must become. I must retain. I must grow. I must live. I must evolve. I must go to the next level. I must live in this type of house. I must drive this type of car. I don't care how bad you think
the shoes are that you are wearing there is another man in this world who would kill to walk a mile in the pair that you wear. Marcus, what does this mean?
This means that what you are complaining about, what you hate, what you can't stand, what you want to walk out of, what you want to give up on there is somebody out there that would die to be in your position. And so here's what I need you
to ask yourself is this problem an issue or is it an opportunity? Some of you all you've been waiting
for your whole life was an opportunity. What if losing your job was the opportunity? What if the divorce is an opportunity? what if the bankruptcy is an opportunity? what if the one you loved
was an opportunity for you to reconnect with somebody and forgive them? I need you to see the bigger picture. I need you to have a little gratitude. You need to learn how to smile. You need to work out. I know you hate the gym, I know you hate to lift weights,
I know you hate cardio, I know you don't like drinking water, I know you don't like
taking care of your simple you think it's the hardest thing
to do in the world to commit. But there is somebody
who's in the grave today and if they had another opportunity to live they would enthusiastically with great confidence
and courage and consistency do what you hate just to live a little longer. Find the positive, see the bigger picture, guard your gratitude. The trial, the tribulation, the adversity, the giant is not your assassin. The giant is your opportunity. Are you going to complain in the face of conflict? Or are you going to seize the opportunity? I don't care what it is
that you're trying to achieve, what you're trying to accomplish, what you're trying to give, how you're trying to evolve, what you are looking to become, everything rises and falls
on your perspective. Stop complaining about
the jealousy and the envy and the backbiting and the person that gave up on you and the person that wasn't present and the person that lied to you and the person that attempted to
manipulate and control. I'm not weary, I’m wiser. I'm not toxic, I’m triumphant. I see this thing differently. This season that you've entered into
did not come to break you. It came to build you into the man or woman
God has destined you to be. Change your perspective. There's a reason why they say see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you don't see that light,
you're gonna lose your mind. You will lose yourself. You will snap in half if you don't see past this. The challenge for many of us is that we gotta see past our present pain. And in to the fruitfulness of the future. The right perspective makes the impossible possible. You cannot change the past but you can always change your perspective. No problem could be solved
from the same level of consciousness that created it. The severity of your problems
is a matter of perspective. Change your perspective and most of them become insignificant. Some of them will no longer
exist as problems but opportunities. The right perspective is the instrument
you need, the tool you need. It's a discipline, it's an advantage. If you change the way you look at things then the things that you see will change knowledge, a speech, a motivational moment, will not sustain you unless you put it into perspective. How will you see the rest of your day? Because how you see the rest of your day will oftentimes determine the way
you see the rest of your life. Shift your perspective. You can change your perspective. You can change the future. Many of you listening to me right now,
you have unfinished business. And you need to go back to that dream, back to that idea. You have a date with destiny. You have unfinished business. It's time for you to go back to the drawing board
with a new perspective. It's your viewpoint and watch this- your perspective
actually shapes your language and your language shapes your world. And so if you don't start thinking right you're not going to talk right and if you're not talking right you're not going to experience the world that you see in your head. I don't know who God
has taught you to become but what I can tell you is if you keep seeing it
the way you have seen it you will never become it. Everybody wants next level, everybody wants wealth and influence and everybody wants to be
this esoteric novelty but listen to me,
you will never experience any of this showing up in your next season
with the same viewpoint. The right perspective makes the impossible possible.
