I can get through this. I will get through this. I must get through this. The days you're not plugged in are the days you don't get 120% I have too much to accomplish, to be satisfied with where I am right now. I have too much on the line. I have too many people
depending on me to win. I must stay hungry. You want to kill an alligator? You kill it right after it eats. Because right after it eats
it gets satisfied and it goes to a state
like it's almost paralyzed. Some of y'all in this room,
are you paralyzed? You had a little success? You've done what nobody else in your
family has done and now you chillin? Come on! You ain't hungry no more? Next hunting I need you
to stay focused, why? You should still be hungry. What have you eaten
that's got you satisfied? What have you done, what have you
accomplished that got you so full? I'm a contender but the next
hundred gonna change my life we gone change this world we're ordinary people doing
extraordinary things. If that's you and you're feeling me just say, I can. - Come on, come on, I can
- I can. - I can. come on, one more time
- I can - Yup, I will
- I will - Yup, I must
- I must. Alright, alright. You study any animal in the animal kingdom
and I will tell you this that the lion is king because the lion is hungry. The elephant is bigger than the lion and the cheetah is faster than the lion but nobody is more hungry than the lion. Go ask any athlete, actor, musician, philanthropist it doesn't matter,
you ask anybody who is a champion and the difference between
them and their opponent is they were more hungry for it. If there's anything I can pour
from my heart in this moment my greatest piece of advice is to protect your hunger. Come on, I wanna put some context into it,
I wanna put some context they sent my mother-in-law
home 8 years ago the cancer metastasized
throughout her whole body They were like, "There ain't nothin
we can do for you, you go home spend time with your family" and people was like, yep, that's it for her
she said, it's not it for me and they said, what you mean
is not over for you? The doctor said- she said, I don't care nothing about a doctor. I got to see my grandson
graduate from high school he's a junior now
at Michigan State University. She said, I gotta see my granddaughter
graduate, and my only two grandkids I gotta see my granddaughter
graduate from high school and she graduates in June.
She said, after that I might die. But up until then I ain't going nowhere are you hearing what I’m telling you? And what we said to each other is,
I can get through this I will get through this I must get through this. So, so I just need you to think about
three people in your family that you love three people three people that you love. Three people you got them, they there, you got them that's what I need you to do for me because some of you have a hard time
staying motivated for a straight 100 days so what I need you to do for me is I need you to think about those people
every day when you're doing what you're doing. Do you have some days where you just
want to hit the snooze button raise your hand for me if you want
to hit the snooze button. right! So watch this, this is what has to happen that person that you think about has to be louder than the snooze button. So when you think about Granny you gotta think about
do I hit the snooze button or do I get up and make it
happen for Granny. Are you hearing what I’m saying,
who are you doing this for? So the days you don't feel like getting up
just think about them. Somebody tell me in this room when you think about your siblings, when
you think about mom, your dad, and grandma when you think about your uncle and aunts when you think about those coaches,
those people who've been there for you. Just raise your hand if you say,
E.T sleep is better than that just raise your hand and tell me, anybody
in the room sleep is better than them E. Raise your hand somebody tell me E.T you don't, you don't get it,
you don't know how hard it is E. I probably don't,
I just lived in abandoned buildings ate of trash cans, I probably don't. Maybe I never been through
what you've been through but I’ve been through my go through and you don't, you don't, you don't
get here by quitting when you're tired you get here by quitting when you finish. When you're done. You don't stop when you tired, you stop when you're done. You stop when you complete it,
when you execute it. Execution is worship and so I execute for my mom,
I execute for my grandma, I execute for my sister, I execute for those kids in the hood
who looking for a role model. That's why I wear the hat with a PHD, that's why I wear the jays so when the kids in the hood look at me
they say, if E.T can do it I can do it that's why I can't quit and give up even though I get tired
just like everybody else. Why? because this is what I do,
this is my lane this is your lane, you gotta murder it. So when I ask you, you got energy
don't play with me when I tell, when I say again, do you got
that energy for the next 100 days? I need to feel your soul in this room. I can - come on, I can
- I can. - Come on, I can
- I can - I will
- I will I must - I must - come on, I can
- I can - I will
- I will - I must
- I must Give yourselves some energy, c'mon I don't care if you got to
listen to me a thousand times I need you to get crystal clear
about your future because the only reason why you are here, the only reason why you're alive is because you have work to do and you got to figure out
why on earth are you here what is your destiny? What is the dream that God has given you? You got to have like
a shark mentality because if a shark swims backward it dies. A shark can only move forward
and so I need you every single day you wake up to smell blood and go after that dream. When you are hungry you are creative. When you are hungry you are innovative. When you are hungry when you are no longer full,
when you are no longer satisfied with where you are
and you raise your standards it is only then that you
can have your future. If you can stay hungry you can get the resources. If you can stay hungry you can get the strategy. If you can stay hungry the idea is going gonna come. If you can stay hungry the connections will be aligned. If you can stay hungry the problem with many of you is that you got full, you got complacent, you got lazy. Somewhere along the line you lost your enthusiasm, your optimism. You lost your hunger. I'm never full I’m never full I’m never full I’m never full You got to get hungry hungry hungry hungry Eliminate all distractions. Eliminate all distractions so you got to have a goal, you got to have a dream, you got to get hungry and then you got to get real discipline because motivation will get you going. A speech will get you fired up but discipline is going
to give you the power to stay committed to whatever that goal is. I'm gonna tell you this right now
some praise can be poison it keeps you locked in a state of paralysis and you shining trophies from the past and that's why you always hear
those people from the past like yeah, remember back in the... day when I used to do this,
remember back in the day they're still shining the trophy
of their past accomplishments so sometimes we can,
we can receive praise. Like a venomous snake that injects its poisonous venom in our veins and in our heart and we get full, we get real full. You got to be hungry for your dream, you got to be hungry for your next level, you got to be hungry
for connection and alignment. You have to be hungry
to fulfill your destiny. Hunger is not an idea, hunger is not a mood, hunger is a lifestyle. I'm never full this is me every day all day. I'm hungry to learn. You got to be hungry to read. You have to be hungry to grow. You have to be hungry to manifest
what is in your head. Just say I can come on, come on I can - I can
- I can come on, one more time - I can
- Yup, I will - I will
- Yup, I must I must all right, all right.
