WHEN LIFE HURTS… STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR DREAM - Motivational Speech

we all get knocked down in every aspect of life you're going to fall flat on your face you're going to be criticized when you come out into the arena called life you're going to feel awkward and stupid and dumb sometimes but it's okay it goes with the territory when the defining moment comes either you define the moment or the moment defines you either you define the moment you decided that you're going to not concern yourself with the naysayers that you're not going to concern yourself with what has happened or what happen happen but you're going to make the commitment to do what you've got to do so that you can have a lifestyle that you've never experienced before or the moment defines you and you decide to play it safe and 20 years from now you say to yourself what if I would have taken a chance on myself what if I would have stayed in the game what if I would have kept making the phone calls what if what if and what if but let me tell you something something amazing begins to happen when you make the decision to move forward on your goals and your dreams and maybe you've been knocked down in your life and it seems like hey the fight is over it is not over unless you quit you have to learn to turn and look at every obstacle as an opportunity you got to get gritty man you got to develop some dog in you life is going to throw some serious blows some body blows and they go hurt but I want you to feel that pain going through your body and as pain leaves your body that's is going to take his place success no pain no gain pain has a purpose don't go through it grow through it stop running from your pain and embrace your pain your pain is going to be a part of your prize I challenge you to push yourself when you get knocked down and you're going to get knocked down when you run into some roadblocks and you're going to run into them when you have some setbacks you can always be able to bring yourself back in knowing if someone has done it it's possible that I can do it you've got to be willing to face rejection and know again and again and again defeat again and again and again and every time life knocked you down you J up and say it's not over until I win fight your way through this battle you have what it takes your greatness comes from within and once you realize that nothing will stop you nothing will keep you from being great it's already there you just have to feel it and know that you were placed here for a reason I want what all other men want but when the opposition hits when the challenge hits when the pain Creeps in when the uncertainty Creeps in when the clutch when the scars when the bruises come I just wanted a little bit more than they wanted if you dare to be great if you dare to do something that you've never done before if you dare to go to limits that you've never went to before they will remember your legacy forever what you become in the process is more important than the dream the kind of person you become the character that you build the courage that you develop the faith that you're manifesting oh it's something that you get up in the morning you look yourself in the mirror you're a different kind of person you walk with a different kind of spirit you know it was hard but you did it hard and so here's what I say to you there going to be times that you're going to be wondering why should I keep showing up and working my business why should I keep at it why should I keep showing up to the conventions why should I keep picking up the phones and making the phone calls why should I keep fighting for my goals and fighting for my dreams and what I want to remind you is that you got to show up for your life regardless of the circumstances you got to show up in spite of the naysayers you got to show up in spite of the conversation going on in your mind you got to show up for your life because if you don't nobody else will you will fail you will likely fail often it will be painful it will be discouraging at times it will test you to your very core it will not be easy this is for those of you who are going through the fire those of you who are wondering how can I keep going like this some of you have been through so much that you should have lost your mind it's all right to fail as long as you fell forward it's all right but I need you to have heart because there's some things you just can't get without perseverance don't think it's strange when things happen to you because every man every woman every boy every girl will go through a time where your faith faith will be tested you will hit something and when you do you will have a choice many choose to turn around they feel a little pain then they run away but there is a small number who decide that the pain is worth the prize they will do whatever is required to make it past this I know it's hard and I know it may look hopeless but if you just keep pushing forward you'll see how strong you truly are when things are going bad there's going to be some good that will come from it Mission got cancelled good we can focus on another one didn't get promoted good more time to get better didn't get funded good we own more of the company didn't get the job you wanted good go out gain more experience build a better resume got injured good needed a break from training gotat beat good we learned unexpected problems good we have an opportunity to figure out a solution that's it when things are going bad don't get all bummed out don't get startled don't get frustrated no Take that issue take that setback take that problem and turn it into something good go forward if you can say the word good it means you're still alive it means you're still breathing it means you still got some fight left in you so get up dust off reload re-calibrate re-engage and go out on the attack I got here not because I'm the strongest not because I'm the fastest not because I'm the best I never stopped fighting it got harder and it got harder and it seemed the further I climb the harder it got but I didn't stop I didn't quit I just kept fighting and fighting and fighting don't let this world break you you are stronger than what you are going through I invested too much to quit I made too many sacrifices to give up we've come too far we've been through too much we've seen too much we've had too many victories we' have seen defeat we've lift defeat in the face and we've overcome it we've come too far to give up now we've come too far to be negative now we've come too far to start overthinking so when life happens I don't just sit there and cry i i b back I bu back I wish I could tell you it's going to get easier I wish I could tell you that if you just keep going the weight is going to get lighter I wish I could tell you that but that's not the truth the truth is you got to find something within you got to find something within and that's got to push you and that's got to elevate you and that's got to drive you and that's got to move you and when you find out what your why is you don't hit snooze no more when you find your why you find a way to make it happen the spirit of resiliency the spirit of grit it's in your DNA it's in your blood overcoming is in your blood getting through adversity is in your blood your ancestors got through so much more we will be all right we need to focus on where we're going not where we come from and what's happening I just need you to keep walking toward it I don't need you thinking about it no more you're doing too much thinking you analyzing too much you talking yourself out of it I don't know if this going to work I tried and it didn't work I just need you to keep moving I need you to make up in your mind that the only way you can lose is if you quit I just need you to keep going it's an opportunity to prove What You're Made Of it's an opportunity to prove you are what you say you are in your head when you look in the mirror and you say there goes a bad motherucker you actually believe it and the process is not supposed to be comfortable so if it hurts welcome to the big leagues if you feel like you're under heat praise God if you feel like you're being pressure praise God but when God looks like he's pulling you back eventually he going to let you go and the further he pulls you back the further he pulls you back once he releases you boom I challenge you to never give up never give up you going to be here one day but you'll never get here if you give up if you give in if you quit and finally guys you got to want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe what do you do when the thing that you didn't ask for happens in your life in the shifting Seasons you can find yourself stressed out you can find yourself depressed mentally fragile because of the experiences the turbulence that you have gone through I don't care how good you are I don't care how talented you are there are some times when things aren't going to go right and you have to deal with it you can experience enough pain in life that it can clobber you to the ground and you believe you can't do it you believe that this is it for you no it's not setbacks will happen when they do it's okay to cry it's okay to go home but eventually you have to get over it and move on you don't have to force yourself or motivate yourself to think negatively to be depressed to hate somebody to want revenge you want to get back at somebody to beat yourself up over the head to feel loaded with guilt you don't have to make any effort to do that your mind is on automatic it will do that by itself but if you want to begin to move into your own personal greatness if you want to begin to really enjoy a happy successful healthy life you've got to be willing to go against the tide you've got to be willing to harness your will and say in spite of this I'm in control here I'm not going to let this get me down I'm not going to let this destroy me you want it and you're going to go all out to have it I challenge you to see your problems as a great thing I challenge you to start being thankful that you have the opportunity to grow get stronger get more focused get more skilled and kick more ass because of every hardship you face you need to make it a habit to start every fing day validating yourself because life is a marathon and this might be a challenging leg where you're like I'm just going to throw in the towel I'm not going to do that thing hell no you've got to focus on you and as you convince you as you sell yourself every day every day you will begin to see a difference in the things that you're doing telling yourself every day here I go again and I got what it takes this is my day and nothing out here is going to stop me my back is up against this [ __ ] every day and I got to go that way and I don't give a who is in front of me they're not going to stop me we turn tragedy into Triumph that's what Lions do lions don't cry Lions don't give up Lions don't quit Lions hunts that's what we do for a living when you are a true Hunter you don't go by time you go by a gazelle you hunt until you get a gazelle and you don't stop until you get one it's hard to handle it you got to fortify yourself and say come on with it I've got to step into it just find an excuse to win keep going if you going to be successful in this game you got to have a dog within you you got to know it's a dog fight and you got to go get that fight life ain't going to be easy ain't nobody gonna hand you nothing you still got to go to work you still got to compete against everybody in your industry life still going to happen while you trying to blow up I want to know what the I'm made of I want to know what I can overcome and I know from experience that the harder the task to overcome the more strength I'm going to gain from it when you get to the point where enough is enough when you get to the point where it hurt real bad when you get to the point you can't take it no more when you get to that point doors start opening opportunities start happenening but what you cannot do is you cannot quit doing the process you cannot give up because it ain't what you see you cannot give up these are the days that test your fortitude they test your endurance your grit your dedication your determination your mental toughness your character at the very moment when everything in you wants to do absolutely nothing when you'd rather die than send another email or take another phone call or talk to another human you got to get the job done you got to tell life I don't know who you've been dealing with but you ain't dealt with me you got to tell bankruptcy you got to tell divorce you got to tell sickness I don't know who you've been dealing with you come up against the wrong one this time you can be and do whatever you want and nobody can stop you nobody can stop you but you you have to understand that there's a journey that takes place in your career in your life every transformation always gets worse before it gets better it's supposed to be that way the journey you're embarking on is not an easy path it's not for the ill- hearted or the weak natured it's for the strong people and before you embark on this journey mentally you have to prepare yourself for it KN one's going to get worse before it gets better throughout your journey people are going to deny you people are going to reject you your journey makes you want to cry your journey puts you sometime in dark places where you feel like nothing is going to do right for you nothing's going to be right people are going to take you places that you've never been before through heartache through pain through so much to make you want to quit your journey when you Embark this journey you must know that it's going to go down before it comes up when it comes up it's going to go so much higher than you've ever been sacrificing today for tomorrow's betterment but if you didn't know that you didn't prepare for that you think something's wrong maybe it's time to stop no it's time to move for and further you have to be equipped mentally to endure this process knowing what you're about to go into is step one knowing it's an uphill battle but a winnable one and one that's achievable it's up to you to push past the pain because on the other side of pain is Glory it's rejoicing it's happiness it's winning it's succeeding you got to understand with no pain is no progress you don't go through something then you won't get nothing and you choose whether or not that journey is going to hurt you or make you stronger I remember so many times I wanted to quit I wanted to turn around I want to say stop I want to go back and go back to what I used to be you got to push through that [ __ ] you got to tell yourself that no matter what no matter what gets in my way I'mma keep going I'mma keep moving I'm going keep winning I'm going keep surviving it's everything that you want because you went through that pain of that Journey that felt like you wanted to just knock you down and say you know what you can't do it understand that it's going to be trials and tribulation that we'll have storms but they will have Sunshine after the rain but that depends on you and how bad do you truly want nothing in life will hold you back if you trust in yourself if you trust in the process at the end of this race guys you're going to be more capable through that effort builds the character the person you want to be at the end accept that pressure does most people in the weight of what it feels like to want to be successful every single day over and over and over it's just too much pressure people crack you got to persevere you must insist that this is is going to happen you got to get in there and keep fighting you got to be constantly at it everybody got to develop some dog in them you got to say I'm going to hang in here now I'm going to hang in here I'm going to keep going I'm going to stay with it no matter what at the very end State what really wins it isn't the potential of the person it's the perseverance the heartbeat of a person that heart doesn't stop the heart doesn't go 9 to5 and then shut down it's always beating just like a true champion doesn't just exist in the arena but exists everywhere else too those moments and inches that are one at the final hour that make or break a win or a loss AR discovered there they discover discovered through thousands of hours in the training lab when no one's watching do you get up and run at 5: in the morning when it's pouring down rain there a person of character that values who the they are there's no half ass here half ass there and then when it matters oh I'll give it my all it doesn't work that way everyone wants it but somebody wants it more where does all the great [ __ ] that we have in our lives come from it all comes from people who in the face of massive adversity decide that they're going to move forward regardless they are going to make the thing that they want to happen happen no matter what anybody says no matter how many times they get laughed at no matter how many times they get called crazy no matter what they are going to make this happen we have the ability to make the choice to be the person who rises above the sh if you keep making the choice to take the things that happened to you and turn them into good productive things there is no way that you cannot be successful none of us ever get through this life without heartache without turmoil we're all going to fail at something everyone's failed at something life is a trial and trials are never supposed to be easy life is hard it's hard handling the tragedies of life when you're working on something and and you put everything you have in it and it doesn't work out you lose your money and other people's money it's hard it is okay to be scared it is okay to cry but giving up should not be an option and it doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life cuz that's going to happen all that matters is that you got to get up because when you fail you get up and then you fail and then you get up and that keeps you going that's how humans are strong failure is an option but giving up is not find a way if you believe and you have faith and you can get knocked down and get back up up again and you believe in perseverance as a great human quality you find your way you got to have that resiliency over and over again you got to make a commitment to keep stepping up to the plate and Swinging for the fences every day whenever you do what you do swing for the fences understanding when you swing for the fences sometimes you'll miss did you know heang had twice as many strikeouts as he had home runs but he kept swinging for defenses most times he missed but when he hit it he knocked it out the park when it's your shot to do what you do keep swinging it keeps driving change is going to happen in your life setback is going to happen but a setback is nothing but a setup for the Champions is not the potential it's it's not their genetics it's their perseverance always show up always willing to fail cuz then failure that's part of success success is not a marathon of life that just UPS success is formulated through failures through facing your fears through falling down and getting back up that's what creates the [Music] champion the fruit of everything good in life begins with a challenge everything worthwhile is uphill your dreams are there your hopes are there most people they don't lead their life they accept their life here's the issue most people they have uphill hopes but they have downhill habits and you can't go uphill with downhill habits it's pretty easy to get the mindset that there's nothing you can do about it that you're overwhelmed that you can't change the world well you know what you can change you can change you you can change your world and if you change your world and you make yourself better and you make your part of the world better the rest of the world will follow good intentions are overrated I know so many people well I'm going to do that yes I think that's a good idea I think I'm going to do that so good intentions are the most overrated phrase in the world nothing happens until you've got good actions and there's not going to come to you and it's not going to fall in your lap and it's not going to be something that oh my gosh it just was so simple it's all always going to be difficult look I'd love to sugarcoat this thing for you I love to tell you look you can go out here and get rich do a couple of things a happen you got to get real doggish you got to get downright funky if you want to make it most of you won't be successful because when you're studying and you get tired you quit weakness haunts us all the times we could have done more they eat at your self-esteem they rob you of your self-respect they diminish your belief in your potential the true art of a full life is to minimize those moments when your weak thoughts win the battle and maximize your ability to rise and grind most of you say you want to be successful but you don't want it bad you just kind of want it you don't want it bad than you want a party you don't want it as much as you want to be cool and I'm here to tell you today if you're going to be successful rise and grind if you wanted to Happ it get your butt up and make it happy and sometimes if you're going to be successful it's not how smart you are it's not how strong you are it's how much you can outli stuff success is not a comfortable procedure it is a very uncomfortable thing to attempt so you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable if you ever want to be successful start putting some pressure on put some pressure on yourself get out here and get about it don't cry to give up cry to keep going don't cry to quit you already in pain you already hurt get a reward from it some of y'all you not getting close to the vision you didn't say the vision and your mama said something about it so you didn't backed off you didn't said something about the vision and somebody tried to kill you and you didn't backed off are you hearing what I'm trying to tell you I'm telling you that you got to be possessed with the vision you want to make your dream come true you got to stay focused some people rather get even than get ahead stay focused on where you want to go I just kept on doing what I was supposed to do so you've got to work on it when other folk are having a good time you've got to have the strength of character to concentrate to read to digest information to be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you will become you have to give it everything you got no more TV no more parties no more playing what you need to be doing is studying while they was golfing I was studying while they was shooting Hoops I was studying while they was playing games and sitting up and eating and joking in the restaurant I was studying you have to put put your everything your everything your mind your energy your effort your discipline nothing is going to jump out the fire if you don't throw something in there it's not going to happen I got to commit my very being to this thing I got to breathe it I got to eat it I got to sleep it you got to begin with the end in mind so whatever your dream or your goal is you got to wake up every day to it you got to go to bed with it you got to read stuff the music you listen to everything you do got to pour into that dream you got to stay focused on your dream don't allow anyone to pull you off the game plan when they're having fun you grind when they're chilling you work your ass off when they're getting lit you put in more work and when they're wishing for a better lifestyle you'll be living [Music] it you don't become what you want you become where your habits take you nothing's ever going to be given to you everything's going to be earned if you don't go out there and put in the work you don't go out put in the effort one you're not going to get the results but two more importantly you don't deserve it you didn't earn it there's certain things you want out of life you want the finest things but you're not willing to work for them you cry about you don't get this opportunity you don't get this break but you're not positioning yourself and you're still trying to get a hand out you got to work it wouldn't be fair if just anybody could just get a degree and not have to work because guess what it would mean it would mean your degree is worth nothing thing if other people didn't have to work hard didn't have to sweat didn't have to stay up all night didn't have to do research didn't have to go to the library didn't have to sacrifice sleep didn't have to make sacrifices in life if everybody just threw out degrees they wouldn't be worth anything you see the only difference between the one who quits and the one who doesn't is that they showed up every day they worked hard every day they hustled every day they improved every day they did all this even though they felt like quitting every day you putting in the work and the only reason you pissed the only reason you quitting is not because you want to quit because you keep looking up and you saying we three in who cares what you are if you keep going you going to break through the only people that don't break through is the people who scoreboard watching that's the problem with some of y'all you stopping working to look at yourself you not grinding you glaring you should be grinding and you looking at the score the score is what it is the score ain't about to change cuz you looked at it keep play the game keep grinding keep working and that other stuff will take care of itself wake up every single day and if the opportunity to work out is there work out if the opportunity is there to read read because you got to tell the flesh who's in control I'm in control you're not in control I know you don't want to wake up you don't have an option get up we trying to eat there's a certain lifestyle we want you look at any person who's done anything great in this world they've had to be fully committed any goal that you want to achieve that's worthwhile in your life requires you to go all the in I mean jump the [ __ ] in the pool head first don't fuing worry about the wh if and make yourself fing swim we're all being tested and that road to success is a bumpy ass Road has the potholes Nails detours and [ __ ] a lot of you're going to die with a nicely preserved body no plates no bad knees no bruises no scares you also have empty resume don't be afraid to get scars the scars show your willingness to get to their side they show your failures they so you're willing is to start from scratch they so what you're willing to do to go the distance to see what you're capable of and there's a big difference between 99 and 100% And to find that last 1% It Takes ignoring your personal desires and Comforts if you're able to endure when all around you says stop you will find that 1% if a commitment not a feeling when you get up in the morning you don't give yourself a choice you grind no matter what when you're just not feeling it you got to force yourself when your feelings tell you no you tell them to shut the [ __ ] up you don't want to get up and get out of bed you get up and get the [ __ ] out of bed you don't want to study you [ __ ] study you don't want to get to work you get to [ __ ] work when everything in you is kicking and screaming you have to take control and tell yourself I do not stop I'm not going to sit around and wait for good things to happen to me I'm going to grind I'm going to fight I'm going to do everything in my power to become the very best version of me when you do the things most people aren't willing to do you'll live the life most people never will when you look back after working your ass off you will see every challenge all the knockdowns breakdowns and every bit of the pain and daily struggles will all be [ __ ] worth it
