  Speaker 1: Mindset is everything you know. It's mindfulness. You know, until
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you're mentally prepared, you're never physically ready. So whatever it
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: is you're doing, I mean and if you want to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: know what you think about, look at your life. That's
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: what you think about. And if you want to improve that,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you need to improve your thinking.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments. Do you
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: want to cross the bridge between continuity other to change
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: and success discipline? The time is now to face the discipline,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: fight through the pain, to reach power within, and to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: ultimately become an improved person. Cross the bridge. Fight each
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: day for the success you've been waiting for, Fight for
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the opportunity to thrive outside your comfort zone. These choices
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: don't come easily and definitely don't come twice. Hard work
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: pays off, but in order for that to happen, you
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: have to fight through the pain, the rejection, and the heartbreak.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Wake up each day with attitude to change Today. You
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: will walk with confidence knowing that today will be the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: day you face your fears of failure.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: It's okay to fail. It's okay because failure ain't that
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: until you give up. Failure is a learning lesson We
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: need to reframe our belief about failure and what to
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: empower you and to stop and to stop freezing you up,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: because that's what failure does. When you look at yourself
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: as a failure, you're frozen.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The only people that fail are people that quit. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: if that stops you from achieving your goals, then you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: know you have failed. You're embracing failure.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: The moment you tell yourself that you can't do something,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: that's the moment when you want to do it. I'm
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: a huge believer in absepting the pain. I believe that
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: it's going to strengthen my mind.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: With that attitude, tomorrow or the next day, progress will
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: be accomplished. You will know you've faced the discipline and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: fought your way out of.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Your comfort zone.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: We need to feel pain to feel happiness. The pain
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: drives us to strive for change. Just know that when
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: life becomes hard someday, it's guaranteed that it will get better.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe not right now, but as long as you try,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the chance of change and success increases.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: You're not done, bro. It's the start. Reframe the story, bro,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: It's in our control to reframe our story. Why do
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: we buy the story that we're given. Why do we
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: give up on this gift called life so easily and
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: allow the pain to stop us from moving on into
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: our great future? Man, we've got this, We've got control.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: We have a special creation, and we give up and
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: we throw it away so easy. That's why I can't
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: give up. And I can't throw it away because I
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: realized that I'm special, that I'm made by a special power,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and we all are, every single one of them. We're
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: at a gift that you have got.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Don't make yourself fall short. You know, it's it's so
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: easy to accept that nothing is going to happen for you.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: You know that you're just going to be another number.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: That's the easiest way, you know, get a job nine
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: till five, and that's easy, you know. It's it's accept
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: that something can happen, but you have to put the work,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: and it's just don't be scared of hard work.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: What you do, there's loads of people doing it, but
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: not like you, not like you, and not like you.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: You do it your way. There's no one on the
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: planet like you. No one they got They ain't got
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: your DNA, they ain't got your fingerprints, they can't they
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: haven't got your tone, the way you do things. They're
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: not like you. So you can't decide to throw in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the towel and get out, get out the game of life.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: You can't do that. You're rubbing us of what you've
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: been given, what's hidden inside you. There's a hidden leader
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: in all of us, there's gifts in all of us.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Why don't we tap into the forget what this world
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: has taught us to fall in line, do as you're told. No,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: think for yourself, step out of line. Feel that freedom
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: and power of stepping out of line and saying, wait
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: a minute, hold on what you're saying doesn't make sense.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: What you're saying is not right. You're taking a way
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in my constitutional right to live life on my terms.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And that's what benefits everybody else. We impact on everybody
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: else's life by taking ownership of ours, by using our
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: gifts and our talents, by treating everybody the way we
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: like them to treat us. The problem is, bro, we're
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: not loving ourselfs.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: Hard work is required.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: You know, everything in life doesn't just happen.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: Success doesn't just come.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: You know you've got to put you know, your time, effort,
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: hard work, dedications, and you need all those components to lead,
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: you know, towards your angle.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Success is a series of failures. You've got to keep
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: on to achieve anything in life. To achieve to achieve
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: success in life, you must fail and keep on failing.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And always when you start, they always know that if
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you're failing throughout your life, as long as you're not
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: repeating the same failures that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: You're grown.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: At the same time, don't wait for the opportunity to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: be handed to you on a plate. Only you and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: just you can make that happen. The sun still shines,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the world still spends, life continues. You're here for one reason, yourself.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Cherish your time and don't waste it thinking about what
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: you want to achieve. Spend time willing and completing your goals.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Because nothing is impossible. Progress can finally be made, the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: barrier can finally be broken, happiness can finally be seen
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: in the horizon, and your mindset can finally be changed.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: You know, if you tell yourself that you never can
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: become a great chef, then you won't become a good chef.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: If you tell yourself that you never can become up
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: with upflet and you probably won't become our great office
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: one day. You know, it starts starts with the belief.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: The more you believe and tell yourself and touch yourself
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: goals and visualize, you wish you less yourself, you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: holding that trophy or even lifting that big lift.
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: You know, everything happened for a reason. No regrets, all
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: the negative things that happen. I'm thankful for it because
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: I learned. Hopefully I learned from those situations.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: That's what I had to go through, you know, That's
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: what I did.
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: But keeping that positive message in my hand, knowing that
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: I can and knowing that you know, no matter what
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: anybody else doing, I believe. And that's what I want
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: every kid to understand.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Falling down is an accident. Staying down is a choice.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: The rise is so much more important than the mistake
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: at harm. The mistakes you make are more significant than
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you think they are. They define you, you change you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: They transform you into the person you are today and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: change you into the person you can become tomorrow. Stop
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: making the mistakes you make today define the person you
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: can be. The way you rise, the way you push
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: past what's holding you back, is how you grow, How
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you grow into the person you can and will become.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: So smile today, sweat today, feel the pain today, because
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: nothing but time is wasted. This time is powerful, precious.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: What else are you going to do? How much more
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: are you willing to work? How many more steps can
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you take? Start pushing yourself until you feel the pain.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: This pain is your sign, the sign that you've made it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Your past has gone, The present is now.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: And so is future.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: It's bright. With this attitude, it can be bright, brighter
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: than you can ever imagine. This is your time to
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: prove yourself that life can be so much more, that
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: it's sacred and something so sacred. Sometimes take sacrifices, sacrifices
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: you will not regret this time next year.
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: We're all worth far more than anyone can imagine. Our power,
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: honestly is endless, and our potential has the power to
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: make something.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Real out of the life you live.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: Take control of your life, control your actions, because your
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: actions that you make right now define your future.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: And how do you see your future.
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: You see it successful, full of life, fueled with potential.
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: And if that's what you want, then you're gonna need
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: to take action right now, because otherwise you're gonna get
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: to a point where you realize you don't have the
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: time left to make the progress that you need to make.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: You're gonna soon realize that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: You have no time left because your future is now.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: You might feel tired now, but then it is going
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: to matter and make a world of a difference, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: you're going to thank yourself. Right now, Right now is
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: the time to make it in a life where you
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: live in this very moment, right here.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: Right now.
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: Stop thinking of everybody else, Stop seeking everyone else's.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Approval, and seek your own approval. Be proud of yourself.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Listen to what I just said, Be proud of yourself.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: You're not done, bro, it's the start. Reframe the story, bro.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: It's in our control to reframe our story. Why do
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: we buy the story that we're given? Why do we
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: give up on this gift called life so easily and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: allow the pain to stop us from moving on into
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: a great future?
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: Man?
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: We got this, we got control. We have a special creation,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: and we give up and we throw it away so easy.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: That's why I can't give up, and I can't throw away.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: There's no one on the planet like you, no one,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: so you can't decide to throw in the towel. You
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: can't do that. You're loving us of what you've been given,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: what was hidden inside you. There's a hidden leader in
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: all of us.
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: I will not quit because I am better than that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: I will not give in because I am powerful. I
• 11:27
  Speaker 10: will not quit because I can succeed. I will not
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: quit because quitting is not in my nature. I will
• 11:34
  Speaker 10: not quit. I will never quit. I will never surrender.
• 12:21
  Speaker 11: My situation was what it was at a very young age,
• 12:25
  Speaker 11: and so my whole life I wanted different from my
• 12:28
  Speaker 11: family ever since I was a kid, right, and my
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: coach took me across town to play ball, and when
• 12:34
  Speaker 11: we'd be riding home, we'd be riding through these neighborhoods, right,
• 12:38
  Speaker 11: and we would see people in their living condition, right,
• 12:41
  Speaker 11: and he would be pointing out different houses and people
• 12:45
  Speaker 11: just telling me about life. You know, he was teaching
• 12:47
  Speaker 11: me and molding me, right, and he was showing me that, hey, man,
• 12:51
  Speaker 11: like you don't have to live like that. And when
• 12:54
  Speaker 11: that would be happening, every time I would go back
• 12:57
  Speaker 11: into my community, I was there in the situation, but
• 13:01
  Speaker 11: I was very much cognizant that it was a better
• 13:04
  Speaker 11: life out there if I made the right decisions and
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: right choices, and so it was almost like you come
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: up in this situation of opposition and adversity that you're in,
• 13:14
  Speaker 11: and then every single day you get to go out
• 13:17
  Speaker 11: and you get to see a different life, and you
• 13:19
  Speaker 11: get to be free for a few hours. Then they
• 13:22
  Speaker 11: bring you back into the opposition and adversity. So it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: almost like you're taking the test. Then they pull you
• 13:27
  Speaker 11: out of the situation, they take you somewhere, they show
• 13:30
  Speaker 11: you the answers to the test, then they put you
• 13:32
  Speaker 11: back in the situation and they make you take the
• 13:34
  Speaker 11: test again, and you know the answers, but the opposition
• 13:38
  Speaker 11: and the adversity and the current of it is so
• 13:40
  Speaker 11: strong that for most people they forget the answers, And
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: for me, I wanted to be laser focused and keep
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: the answers so I can make the right decisions and
• 13:49
  Speaker 11: choices so I can pass. What I felt at the
• 13:51
  Speaker 11: time was the ultimate test, because I've came from a
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: situation to where I didn't know where my next meal
• 13:58
  Speaker 11: was coming from, came from a place to where I
• 14:01
  Speaker 11: watched my mother scrape up change. It's a lot of moments,
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: and it's a lot of people that change and impact
• 14:07
  Speaker 11: your life, right, Like, I don't believe it's just one moment,
• 14:11
  Speaker 11: and you say, this one moment just changed my life,
• 14:13
  Speaker 11: even though that moment may have, but it's going to
• 14:15
  Speaker 11: be another moment.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: It's going to.
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: Shape and change your life as well. Like my own
• 14:19
  Speaker 11: changed my life. My teacher changed my life. But I'll
• 14:22
  Speaker 11: never forget. He drove up in my neighborhood and I
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: was on a corner with one of my uncles. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 11: my uncles at the time they were drug dealers, right,
• 14:30
  Speaker 11: and I wasn't selling drugs. I was just hanging out.
• 14:32
  Speaker 11: You hung out in the neighborhood on the street. And
• 14:35
  Speaker 11: he pulled up in this truck and he was just like,
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: what are you doing out here? Like I'm chilling. He's like, no,
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: you didn't hear me. What are you doing out here?
• 14:44
  Speaker 11: It was like I'm hanging out. He's like, get in
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: the truck. I got in this truck. He said, point
• 14:48
  Speaker 11: me to your house. I'm pointing to my grandmother's house.
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: We pulled up.
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: I get out and he says to me, ain't you're
• 14:54
  Speaker 11: better than that? And I was like, I hear you.
• 14:58
  Speaker 11: I was like, but the same corner you just picked
• 14:59
  Speaker 11: me up up from my uncle. Wear a two X
• 15:02
  Speaker 11: T shirt. He said, in the morning when I come
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: to your class, I'm gonna be wearing a two X
• 15:06
  Speaker 11: T shirt that he's stood on the corner end and
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: probably sold drugs in it, did whatever all night.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: And I'm one hundred and thirty five pounds.
• 15:13
  Speaker 11: So I hear you, right, But to me, those are
• 15:17
  Speaker 11: just words, right, basically saying to him, I'm coming from
• 15:21
  Speaker 11: a real situation, right, So I hear you talking, but
• 15:25
  Speaker 11: I'm coming from a real situation. And he was like,
• 15:27
  Speaker 11: you think I'm playing, I'll be here in the morning
• 15:29
  Speaker 11: to pick you up. And the next morning he picked
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: me up and he said, here's the deal, man. He said,
• 15:34
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna pick you up. I'm gonna play you in
• 15:36
  Speaker 11: a game of one on one basketball every morning, and
• 15:39
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna make you recite a proverb until you graduate
• 15:42
  Speaker 11: high school. And I was like, he's just talking. And
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: every single morning he did it. He picked me up,
• 15:48
  Speaker 11: take me to school, he would play me in a
• 15:50
  Speaker 11: game of one on one basketball, make me recite a proverb.
• 15:53
  Speaker 11: And this is the moment I knew it was for real.
• 15:56
  Speaker 11: The principal came into the gymnasium and in Atlanta and
• 16:00
  Speaker 11: in you know school systems, most of them worldwide public schools.
• 16:05
  Speaker 11: You got this thing between the church and the state
• 16:08
  Speaker 11: right to where they don't want you to bring church
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: religion into the school system, which I get and I understand.
• 16:15
  Speaker 11: And the principal came into the gymnasium and said to him,
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: I heard you been given inky proverbs, which proverbs out
• 16:22
  Speaker 11: of the Bible. And he said, yes, sir, I have
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: He says, stop it, or I have to fire you.
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: And at the time, my teacher was twenty three years old, right,
• 16:30
  Speaker 11: we were his first class of students fresh.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Out of college.
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: And he looked at the principle and he said, well,
• 16:36
  Speaker 11: you're just gonna have to fire me, because his life
• 16:38
  Speaker 11: is worth it, right, And I'll never forget in that moment,
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: saying if he's willing to put the way that he
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: provides for his family on the line for me, I
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: got to give him everything I got, right, and I
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: never wanted to let him down. So I would be
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: in the park late when I was a kid and
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: at the football practice because my mother worked at Double Shit,
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: and so I would stay there and I love the game.
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: And when she would pull up in the park, you know,
• 17:04
  Speaker 11: most of the kids would be going home and I'll
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: be sitting here on the bench.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: And she drove at the time, it.
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: Was an old Buick Regal and hug caps off the car,
• 17:13
  Speaker 11: you know, seats, torn up, cars, all beat up.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: But we loved it, you know, my mother's car.
• 17:18
  Speaker 11: And she would pull up and get out and I
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: would hugger kiss her and I would say, Mom, if
• 17:23
  Speaker 11: you don't mind, can you sit in the car and
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: turn on your car lights. I gotta do some extra drills,
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: got to go to the NFL. She'll never have to
• 17:30
  Speaker 11: work another day in your life. And I knew my
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: mother was tired, right, And my mother never said to me, nah, boy,
• 17:37
  Speaker 11: let's go get in the car, let's go home, right
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: like bump that not doing that. She would always go
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: sit in that car and she would turn on those
• 17:44
  Speaker 11: car lights and I'll be out on the field. I'll
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: be running laps and I'll be doing agility drills. I'll
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: be running sprints, chasing the stream and go to the NFL.
• 17:53
  Speaker 11: And for me, that level of sacrifice was the thing
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: that drove me and still drive until this day.
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: Right. That's why when I competed. It wasn't just.
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: About a sport for me, right, Like I looked at competition,
• 18:09
  Speaker 11: I looked at work ethic, I looked at dedication, I
• 18:12
  Speaker 11: looked at commitment. I looked at sacrifice as this is
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: life for me. This isn't about a sport. This is
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: about things that I can extract from this sport and
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: apply it to everyday life to make me somewhat of
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: a decent human being.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: And so when my mother did that for me, that
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: made an impact and an imprint on my soul, right
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: that I take with me even until this day. And
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: so at the beginning of my junior year, my coach
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: came to me and basically said, hey, ing man, you're
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: projected draft pick. Like NFL teams scouting you, they love you.
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: All you gotta do is do what you've been doing
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: and you'll get a shot. You'll be an automatic multime millionaire.
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: You could take care of your family. And I was like, awesome, man.
• 18:57
  Speaker 11: And so coming into my junior year thinking all I
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: have to do is do what I've been doing.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: I just got to play football.
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: That's easy, right, And I come out the first game
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: we play against California Bears, I execute, I have a
• 19:11
  Speaker 11: great game. We get the victory, and we're going into
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: the second game against Air Force Tough Group, discipline group.
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: Fourth quarter rolls around two minutes left, and so usually
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: in two minutes the game is basically about to be over,
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: and so we're thinking we make a couple more stops.
• 19:28
  Speaker 11: I'm thinking, if I get the opportunity to hit the
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: guy in the game making fumble and get ready for
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: Florida the next week. And so the quarterback drops back,
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: throws it to a guy, He catches it, and I
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: go to make the tackle that's supposed to end the game.
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: And as soon as I hit him right, something different
• 19:46
  Speaker 11: happened that never happened to me before in my life.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: Every breath of my body left right.
• 19:51
  Speaker 11: My body went completely limb, fell to the ground, blacked
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: out right. When I came to, my teammates were standing
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: over me, like, ink it up, let's rock. I was like,
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: I can't right, I can't move. There was a shot
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: going through my body. I couldn't feel anything, but me
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: thinking it's just a stinger, showed the injury. Nothing too serious, right,
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: And when they get me over to the hospital and
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: they run their test and then they bring me back
• 20:15
  Speaker 11: into a room, and my mother had just left the room, kissing, praying,
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: you know, kiss me on my head, praying and saying, ink,
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: you'll be fine, right, And when she walks out, the
• 20:26
  Speaker 11: doctor runs in and says, guys, guys, we gotta rest
• 20:29
  Speaker 11: his kid back to emergency surgery.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: He's about to die. I got to rush you back.
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: Take the main vein out of your left leg, plug
• 20:36
  Speaker 11: it into your chest in order to save your life.
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: He said, Oh, I guarantee you you won't be here
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: in the morning. Said you're bleeding internally. And so the
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: next morning I woke up. I was grateful that I
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: was still alive, right, And I think because of the
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: seriousness of the situation, right, it made me view football
• 20:57
  Speaker 11: in a microway in terms of I loved the game, right.
• 21:01
  Speaker 11: It hurt that my career ended, right, It hurt it right,
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: But I was there.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: My life was spared.
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: Like if they didn't catch that my artery had busted
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: and I was bleeding internally. I could have went to
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: sleep that night and the next morning, the title on
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: the paper, the newspaper would have been different. It wouldn't
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: have been Inky Johnson suffered possibly career ending injury. It
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: had been Inky Johnson lost his life last night from
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: a tackle made in the game, and so it made
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: me view it differently, even though I had a long
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: role or rehabilitation for my arm ahead of me. My
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: grandmother used to say something to me all the time,
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: and I think it's so true. And she would say
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: to me, Inky, either somebody is in a mist of
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: adversity or just came out of adversity, or won't be
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: long before they headed two atversity. So you need to
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: be prepared either way. And so we all go through
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: adversity opposition. I think that's the thing that made it's
• 22:00
  Speaker 11: all in common as people, right, no matter if you're
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: from London, Atlanta, Florida, California, New York, like, we're all
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: going to go through something at some point a phase
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: in our life.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: And as cliche as it sounds when the quote says,
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: it's never about what happens to you, it's about how
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: you respond to it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: You're not done, bro, It's the start. Reframe the story.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: It's in our control to reframe our story. Why do
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: we buy the story that we're given? Why do we
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: give up on this gift? Called life so easily and
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: allow the pain to stop us from moving on into
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: our great future. Man, we got this, we got control.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: We have a special creation, and we give up and
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: we throw it away so easy. That's why I can't
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: give up, and I can't throw it away, because I
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: realized that I'm special, that I'm made by a special power,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: and we all are, every single one of us. Look
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: at the gift that you have. God, what you do.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: There's loads of people doing it, but not like you,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: not like you, and not like you. You do it
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: your way. There's no one on the planet like you,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: no one. They ain't got your DNA, they ain't got
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: your fingerprints, they can't. They haven't got your tone, the
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: way you do things. They're not like you. So you
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: can't decide to throw in the towel and get out,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: get out the game of life. You can't do that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: You're rubbing us of what you've been given, what's hidden
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: inside you. There's a hidden leader in all of us,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: there's gifts in all of us. Why don't we tap
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: into it? Forget what this world has taught us to
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: fall in line, do as you're told, No, think for yourself,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: step out of line. Feel that freedom and power of
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: stepping out of line and saying, wait a minute, hold on.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: What you're saying doesn't make sense. What you're saying is
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: not right. You're taking away my constitutional right to live
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: life on my terms. And that's what benefits everybody else.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: We impact on everybody else's life by taking ownership of ours,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: by using our gifts and our talents, by treating everybody
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: the way we like them to treat us. The problem is, bro,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: we're not loving ourself. We ain't been taught to love ourself.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: You have to know who you are first. You have
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: to recognize who I am and accept that you're loved.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: That means you love you. By reframing that story, that
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: everything that you've told yourself about life, how you got
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: dealt with, how growing up was, or your relationships, all
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: the stories you told yourself that end up being with
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: a negative outcome, reframe it and give it a new
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: outcome that benefits you and empowers you. I reframe my
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: dad's story, and my dad ain't don't love me. Look away,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: he beats me, Look what he does to me. You
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: don't love me, don't care about me. I reframed it.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: That needs help. Dad's unfortunate because he didn't get to
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: enjoy the blessings of young men that came out of
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: his seed and grew up into grown men. My dad
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: had three kings. My mom didn't know she had three
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: kings coming out of her womb. So unless you do
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: the job right, then you're gonna find out they've done.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: My dad got his part wrong. But that doesn't mean
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: if I don't walk in the right steps and believing
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: in myself, that I can't still bear fruit and find
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: out who I really am. Daddy didn't show me, but
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I showed me because I believed and understood that I'm
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: a special created being. That's very important to have great
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: self esteem forget me esteem that others put on you,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: because normally they don't. We need to put a steam
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: on ourself. But what do we do me? Here people
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: talking positively about this suff Oh, he's arrogant. You know,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: he thinks too much of himself. He doesn't you know
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: what'sor is talking about how much you love yourself, because
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: you can only love people at the level that you
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: love yourself. Bro, you can't love me more than you
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: love you. You can't. All these people are talking about
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I love you really, do you love yourself? The question
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: is isn't do you love me, it's do you love you?
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Once I know you love you, brother, I already know
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: that I'm going to receive good love and good treatment
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: from you because I know that you love and respect yourself.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: You're not going to hurt other people like that because
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: you care about yourself. You care about your children and
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: your family. It's an expression of you. So we need
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: to focus on ourself. First. I needed to focus on me,
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: how I was dealing with me, and then I was
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: able to go to the children. We all want to
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: do positive things in life. We want to share and
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: help people. So now this world's going to be a
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: greater place because of the way we think. You want
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: to change the quality of your life, change the quality
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: of your think
