- 0:03Speaker 1: This is your term, the time where you take risk,
- 0:08Speaker 1: you take chances, push everything aside that's telling you no.
- 0:14Speaker 1: You have the possibility to shape your identity, to construct
- 0:18Speaker 1: and build your life into the power you can achieve.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Nothing here is stopping your progress except yourself. You're the
- 0:26Speaker 1: only thing that's holding you back.
- 0:31Speaker 2: If you want to become successful in life, I'm a one.
- 0:33Speaker 2: You got to change your mindset, he said. You don't
- 0:37Speaker 2: get in life what you want. You get in life
- 0:38Speaker 2: what you are. Develop your communication skills, because once you
- 0:45Speaker 2: open your mouth, you tell the world who you are.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I believe that all of us are born unique, but
- 0:55Speaker 2: most of us die copies. You got to find out
- 0:59Speaker 2: what is it that turns you on, what resonates with you.
- 1:04Speaker 2: One of the things that I realized and what allowed
- 1:07Speaker 2: me to become successful as a speaker of the speaking industry.
- 1:11Speaker 2: It's been hijacked by people who speak to sell, and
- 1:15Speaker 2: it's okay to do that and make money. I speak
- 1:18Speaker 2: to change lives because somebody spoke and change my life.
- 1:23Speaker 2: So this is my passion, this is my trive. This
- 1:28Speaker 2: is something that I feel in my heart, and so
- 1:31Speaker 2: the key to that hunger driven life is a hard
- 1:37Speaker 2: centered life. I didn't do what I'm doing for years
- 1:40Speaker 2: because of my programming, because of the culture in which
- 1:44Speaker 2: I was raised in. I would see other people with
- 1:47Speaker 2: degrees and PhDs and nbas and credentials I don't have,
- 1:52Speaker 2: and I convinced myself I couldn't do it. But mister
- 1:57Speaker 2: Washington on that day we became friends, and he taught
- 2:02Speaker 2: me not only someone's opinion of you does not have
- 2:06Speaker 2: to determine your reality. He said that you have to
- 2:09Speaker 2: work on yourself, and you have to have an unstoppable attitude,
- 2:13Speaker 2: and no excuse is acceptable, and you've got to make
- 2:19Speaker 2: it a priority, a non negotiable in your life, and
- 2:24Speaker 2: hold a constant vision of what it is you want
- 2:27Speaker 2: to achieve, see it accomplished, and go all out find
- 2:32Speaker 2: a way to win in spite of the setbacks, in
- 2:36Speaker 2: spite of the disappointments, in spite of your failures. I
- 2:41Speaker 2: tell people when I'm giving presentations, you will fail your
- 2:44Speaker 2: way to success. I have a saying, is life knocks
- 2:47Speaker 2: you down, try and land on your back, because if
- 2:49Speaker 2: you can look up, you can get up.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Never let a situation or circumstance defind your life, no
- 2:55Speaker 3: matter what it may be and understanding that you got
- 2:58Speaker 3: something inside of you that's greater in a situation under circumstance.
- 3:01Speaker 3: But you have to constantly believe it, and not only
- 3:03Speaker 3: believe it, you have to make decisions and choices every
- 3:06Speaker 3: single day and put you a step forward toward what
- 3:09Speaker 3: you believe your destiny is. In life, it's a lot
- 3:17Speaker 3: of moments, and it's a lot of people that change
- 3:20Speaker 3: and impact your life, right, Like, I don't believe it's
- 3:23Speaker 3: just one moment and you say this one moment just
- 3:25Speaker 3: change my life, even though that moment may have but
- 3:28Speaker 3: it's going to be another moment. It's going to shape
- 3:30Speaker 3: and change your life as well. Either somebody is in
- 3:36Speaker 3: the midst of adversity or just came out of adversity,
- 3:41Speaker 3: or it won't be long before they head into adversity.
- 3:44Speaker 3: So you need to be prepared either way. And so
- 3:48Speaker 3: we all go through adversity opposition. I think that's the
- 3:51Speaker 3: thing that makes us all in common as people, right,
- 3:54Speaker 3: no matter if you're from London, Atlanta, Florida, California, New York, like,
- 3:58Speaker 3: we're all going to go through something at some point
- 4:02Speaker 3: or phase in our life. Right, And as cliche as
- 4:04Speaker 3: it sounds, when a quote says it's never about what
- 4:07Speaker 3: happens to you, it's about how you respond to it.
- 4:09Speaker 3: That's very true, right. But in the same sense, I
- 4:12Speaker 3: think what's most important is when we go through something,
- 4:16Speaker 3: what's the perspective that we have of it?
- 4:18Speaker 2: Right?
- 4:19Speaker 3: Because for most people, when you go through something, the
- 4:21Speaker 3: person's natural perspective is Okay, what did I lose?
- 4:26Speaker 1: Right?
- 4:27Speaker 3: What happened to me? Like I took a loss. Right,
- 4:30Speaker 3: people never look at it and say, okay, man, tell
- 4:32Speaker 3: me what did you gain? Right, even though I know
- 4:35Speaker 3: it hurt you didn't want to go through it, but
- 4:37Speaker 3: look at it in a way to where you can say,
- 4:39Speaker 3: what's the lesson in this? Right? What would you say?
- 4:41Speaker 3: Life is trying to teach you from dealing with this?
- 4:44Speaker 3: And so when I went through it, my perspective was, Okay,
- 4:48Speaker 3: what can I extract from it to apply to other
- 4:51Speaker 3: areas and aspects of my life that I feel can
- 4:53Speaker 3: help other people? And I firmly believe quicker you can
- 5:00Speaker 3: shift your perspective from yourself to others when you're in
- 5:04Speaker 3: the midst of adversity, the quicker you'll get through it. Right.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Martin Luther King has a quote that says, life's most
- 5:11Speaker 3: persistent and urgent question is what are you doing to
- 5:14Speaker 3: help other people? Now, I'm not telling you to not
- 5:17Speaker 3: acknowledge your pain. I'm not saying that. I'm not telling
- 5:20Speaker 3: you not to say, man, I'm going through this in
- 5:22Speaker 3: his heart. I'm not saying that. I'm saying when you
- 5:25Speaker 3: go through it, look at it, step back from the
- 5:27Speaker 3: picture and say, Okay, I'm dealing with this. Nine out
- 5:30Speaker 3: of ten times is somebody else that's either dealt with
- 5:33Speaker 3: it or are they gonna deal with something similar to this?
- 5:35Speaker 3: And if I deal with it in the right way,
- 5:37Speaker 3: I can use it to add value to lives of
- 5:39Speaker 3: other people.
- 5:42Speaker 2: When you live a hard centered life, deciding that you're
- 5:47Speaker 2: gonna live a life that will outlive you, you're gonna
- 5:50Speaker 2: live a life that counts, a life that will build
- 5:52Speaker 2: a legacy and change the planet. You know, hars Man said,
- 5:57Speaker 2: we should be ashamed to die until we've made some
- 6:00Speaker 2: major contribution to human kind and get to know yourself
- 6:05Speaker 2: that I believe that we're taught being not conformed to
- 6:08Speaker 2: this world. We transformed by the renewing of your mind.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Don't live the life that has been given you when
- 6:15Speaker 2: you go for a walk with someone, something happens without
- 6:19Speaker 2: being spoken. He is that either you adjust to their
- 6:23Speaker 2: pace or they adjust to your pace. Whose pace have
- 6:28Speaker 2: you adjusted to? And so there are things that we
- 6:32Speaker 2: pick up and we think that there are choices, but
- 6:36Speaker 2: the choices that we've been programmed by life to do.
- 6:42Speaker 2: When we leave our homes in the morning, we're bombarded
- 6:45Speaker 2: with over six thousand advertising hits through Facebook, through Twitter,
- 6:51Speaker 2: through Instagram, through television, through our phones, and through our
- 6:55Speaker 2: communities and through the computers, and so all of these
- 7:00Speaker 2: things are impacting this every day. So if you don't
- 7:03Speaker 2: have a program for your mind, then your mind is
- 7:06Speaker 2: going to be programming. You'll find yourself doing things that
- 7:13Speaker 2: you did not know and that the effected you that
- 7:17Speaker 2: they through marketing techniques and strategies that they will create
- 7:23Speaker 2: a thirst within you. You've got to have someone that
- 7:27Speaker 2: can see something in you that you can't see, that
- 7:31Speaker 2: that can take you to a place within yourself that
- 7:34Speaker 2: you can't go by yourself.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Stop overthinking everything so much. Realize that while you are
- 7:44Speaker 4: trying to do a lot of things in your life
- 7:46Speaker 4: at once, and you are trying to be better than
- 7:49Speaker 4: you were yesterday, also realize you don't have to try
- 7:52Speaker 4: to do anything. You just have to do and you
- 7:55Speaker 4: just have to be You have to understand the concept
- 7:57Speaker 4: of actually really doing anything. You're being done each and
- 8:03Speaker 4: every day is an opportunity to get something from the
- 8:07Speaker 4: day rather than just going through the day. But there
- 8:10Speaker 4: are a lot of things that we can't always control.
- 8:13Speaker 4: We can't always control the temperature outside. We can't always
- 8:16Speaker 4: control what the birds are doing, or what the fish
- 8:19Speaker 4: are doing, or what the animals are doing. But we
- 8:21Speaker 4: can control what we're doing. We can control who we're
- 8:23Speaker 4: hanging out with, so in a sense, we can get
- 8:25Speaker 4: some control over the anxiety that we have. And the
- 8:29Speaker 4: way that we're going to gain control over those things
- 8:31Speaker 4: is to think about some of the hurdles that we
- 8:32Speaker 4: may have, some of the things that are blocking us
- 8:35Speaker 4: from making quick action.
- 8:40Speaker 3: The reason that I think belief is important is because,
- 8:45Speaker 3: like when you're young, or when you do something in
- 8:48Speaker 3: your novelge right, and you start out doing it and
- 8:51Speaker 3: you might think you can do something with it, or
- 8:53Speaker 3: you might not. You might do it and it's being
- 8:55Speaker 3: driven by your passion, and then somebody comes alone that's
- 8:58Speaker 3: a little bit older or even more and they can
- 9:01Speaker 3: see it in a way that you can't see it, right.
- 9:04Speaker 3: And so I think it's important with belief because if
- 9:07Speaker 3: a person believes in you in a way that you
- 9:09Speaker 3: don't believe in yourself, you can rent that person's belief
- 9:12Speaker 3: until you get strong enough to possess your own right,
- 9:15Speaker 3: and you use that person's belief to fuel you every
- 9:17Speaker 3: single day, right, because you can have a level of
- 9:20Speaker 3: belief with what you're doing, but you can go back
- 9:23Speaker 3: to a certain set of circumstances that tell you now,
- 9:26Speaker 3: it's not gonna happen. And so you rent that person's
- 9:29Speaker 3: belief until you get strong enough to possess your own.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Life.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Isn't that venture, And it's gonna be a challenge, And
- 9:39Speaker 2: get ready because you're gonna fail your way to success.
- 9:42Speaker 2: You're gonna get slapped around by life. And don't spend
- 9:46Speaker 2: time complaining about it and telling everybody eighty percent don't
- 9:50Speaker 2: care and twenty percent glad as you
