- 0:04Speaker 1: Coward under the under the war. Stand up and fight.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Take control of your power.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Become this power, because now's the time to fight.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Failures are our greatest teachers. I don't think anybody that's
- 0:19Speaker 1: ever endeavored to, ever do anything didn't fail at some
- 0:23Speaker 1: point in some aspect of what they were trying to do.
- 0:27Speaker 1: We learn from it and we move forward. There's always
- 0:32Speaker 1: going to be hard times, and you just have to
- 0:35Speaker 1: have belief in that where you are is where you're
- 0:40Speaker 1: supposed to be, and by moving forward, the strength of
- 0:44Speaker 1: your faith will unleash the power of the Creator in
- 0:49Speaker 1: your life. Just whatever you do, don't stop, because more
- 0:57Speaker 1: than ninety nine percent assured, nobody's going to know it
- 1:01Speaker 1: was a screw up. Unless you stop. If you keep moving,
- 1:05Speaker 1: everybody's gonna think that's just you know, own it. If
- 1:09Speaker 1: you were supposed to go right and you go left,
- 1:11Speaker 1: then the minute that you realize, oh my god, I
- 1:14Speaker 1: just went left, What am I going to do? Go
- 1:16Speaker 1: to the crowd and start going, you know, dancing to
- 1:18Speaker 1: the crowd, or do it, They're never going to know
- 1:20Speaker 1: that it was a mess up. So yes, you have
- 1:22Speaker 1: to improvise, you have to adapt, you have to overcome,
- 1:24Speaker 1: you have to be like water. You know, you have
- 1:27Speaker 1: to be able to conform yourself to those situations so
- 1:31Speaker 1: that you ever don't do yourself a disservice by not
- 1:34Speaker 1: growing and not becoming better. You have to be able
- 1:37Speaker 1: to be malleable. And I think that's the greatest thing
- 1:40Speaker 1: about being shaped and having been to that place. You know,
- 1:43Speaker 1: it may cause you to go through some growing pains,
- 1:45Speaker 1: but there's there's that's that's awesome. So if it's really
- 1:48Speaker 1: hurt and I know it's really going to be good
- 1:49Speaker 1: on the other side of it, and you just see
- 1:54Speaker 1: yourself grow and you grow and you grow and you grow,
- 1:56Speaker 1: it can be a very lonely journey. So you absolutely
- 2:00Speaker 1: have to know where you get your strength. Not everybody's
- 2:05Speaker 1: work ethic is the same. So if you don't feel
- 2:08Speaker 1: like you're up to that place right now to run
- 2:12Speaker 1: a marathon, how do you start training for a marathon?
- 2:14Speaker 1: By running? By running more and running more baby steps,
- 2:17Speaker 1: Take it as you can take it to grow and
- 2:19Speaker 1: to work those muscles, develop those muscles, and if you're
- 2:22Speaker 1: willing to go through the panes and the ebbs and
- 2:24Speaker 1: the flows, and the new shoes and the blisters and
- 2:27Speaker 1: whatever you got to go through to get to that goal.
- 2:30Speaker 1: You will run that marathon. You have to be willing
- 2:33Speaker 1: to do more. You have to be willing to take
- 2:35Speaker 1: a stand and make a difference. Baby steps, become intentional
- 2:39Speaker 1: about what it is that you're going to do. Nobody
- 2:41Speaker 1: in your family may have done that, Nobody in your community,
- 2:44Speaker 1: your city, your country may have done that. But if
- 2:46Speaker 1: that's what's been put here for you take it in
- 2:49Speaker 1: baby steps. Begin to see how that you're going to
- 2:51Speaker 1: move forward. Don't try to do the whole thing at once.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Sit it down, look at it, break it down, rebuild it,
- 2:57Speaker 1: put it back together, and then assign timeframes to everything
- 3:00Speaker 1: that you want to accomplish, and break it down in
- 3:02Speaker 1: phases and then focus everything you have on that phase.
- 3:10Speaker 1: If you don't love you, you can't love anybody else.
- 3:14Speaker 1: If you don't appreciate you, it's impossible to depreciate anybody.
- 3:17Speaker 1: If you don't respect yourself, it's impossible to respect somebody else.
- 3:20Speaker 1: And if you are absorbed with that, really what it
- 3:25Speaker 1: is is hatred of self. And however you got there
- 3:28Speaker 1: through trauma or oppression or you know, sort of genetic
- 3:34Speaker 1: historical trauma. It becomes a situation that can be so devastating,
- 3:42Speaker 1: not just the life of individuals, but in communities, and
- 3:46Speaker 1: we have that trauma. Absolutely. One of the biggest challenges
- 3:52Speaker 1: right now for us to really stand up and come
- 3:54Speaker 1: together as a community, I believe, is the need for
- 3:58Speaker 1: our people to realize there and their value and to
- 4:02Speaker 1: come to terms with who we are and the beauty
- 4:06Speaker 1: of our culture and the beauty of the life that
- 4:08Speaker 1: we have, and that self worth manifests and grows, and
- 4:14Speaker 1: I think it's very contagious, and that's one of the
- 4:16Speaker 1: things that sometimes people say, well, these are just words
- 4:18Speaker 1: or these are just things that you're saying, and don't
- 4:21Speaker 1: put a very high price on motivation or inspiration. But
- 4:24Speaker 1: if you don't have hope, if you don't believe that
- 4:28Speaker 1: there's possibility for you, well then you do start to
- 4:32Speaker 1: understand why we have the highest rates of suicide, why
- 4:35Speaker 1: we have the highest college the highest high school dropout rates,
- 4:40Speaker 1: the lowest college attendants. We have to be out there
- 4:46Speaker 1: telling our story. We can't let other people tell our
- 4:49Speaker 1: story for us and continue to not have the ownership
- 4:52Speaker 1: of who we are, and I think we just have
- 4:56Speaker 1: to do that. And again, hopefully that's leading by example
- 5:01Speaker 1: everything that has been done before us as a part
- 5:04Speaker 1: of us, and so it's equally as important that we
- 5:08Speaker 1: do everything that we possibly can with our life for
- 5:10Speaker 1: everything that they did for us before we were even born.
- 5:13Speaker 1: And I think that makes it even more powerful when
- 5:16Speaker 1: you think of we can't depend on other people. That's
- 5:20Speaker 1: sort of been my through line is I've never understood
- 5:24Speaker 1: how you can be independently codependent. You either can be
- 5:27Speaker 1: independent and stand on your own two feet and know
- 5:30Speaker 1: who you are and what you're here for, and in
- 5:33Speaker 1: the tough times when everything is pulling you to do
- 5:37Speaker 1: something that maybe just go with the flow. That's the
- 5:41Speaker 1: moment you have to be the flow, and it may
- 5:43Speaker 1: run in the opposite direction of the current that's asking
- 5:46Speaker 1: you to jump in. I think confidence comes from doing, trying, failing, correcting,
- 6:02Speaker 1: and then doing trying, failing, correcting, doing trying, failing, or
- 6:06Speaker 1: if it's not your own journey and hopefully it's not
- 6:09Speaker 1: doing your work enough to look at what you're going
- 6:12Speaker 1: to get involved in or people around you and identifying
- 6:15Speaker 1: where other people are having a hard time and correcting
- 6:18Speaker 1: off of their mistakes. I mean, you don't wish anybody
- 6:22Speaker 1: bad and you don't want to see anybody fail. But
- 6:24Speaker 1: if you can look at that situation to say, wow,
- 6:27Speaker 1: I know that when I do X, I need to
- 6:29Speaker 1: kind of be prepared to move right and take two
- 6:31Speaker 1: steps forward. Let me file that one so being aware,
- 6:36Speaker 1: being aware of whatever it is that you're going to
- 6:38Speaker 1: get into or whatever is passionate about you. But I
- 6:40Speaker 1: think that you really have to understand that if it's
- 6:43Speaker 1: your dream and that you're moving forward to accomplish your dream,
- 6:46Speaker 1: don't let anyone ever take that from you. Don't let
- 6:49Speaker 1: anyone kill your passion about what it is that you
- 6:52Speaker 1: feel innately is what you're supposed to do, what your
- 6:54Speaker 1: journey is, that's yours, that's almost been ordained to you
- 7:00Speaker 1: specifically uniquely, that you may be the one person that's
- 7:03Speaker 1: able to move that forward. Don't let anybody rob you
- 7:06Speaker 1: of that. And it's going to happen. People are going
- 7:07Speaker 1: to doubt you, people are going to and as you'd mentioned,
- 7:10Speaker 1: you know, there's going to be people that just don't
- 7:13Speaker 1: see it. They just don't get it, and it sucks.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to maintain that excitement. I think
- 7:21Speaker 1: the other thing right there in that window is you know,
- 7:24Speaker 1: absolutely be about it if you expect other people to
- 7:30Speaker 1: be about it. If you want people to be one
- 7:33Speaker 1: hundred percent excited, understand, you got to be one hundred
- 7:36Speaker 1: and fifty percent excited about it. Nobody is ever going
- 7:39Speaker 1: to be more excited about what you're doing than you,
- 7:42Speaker 1: So you better be on fire about it. If you
- 7:44Speaker 1: walk in with your head down or you don't feel
- 7:46Speaker 1: that this is something that you really, at the core
- 7:48Speaker 1: of your being believe in, then you're not ready to
- 7:51Speaker 1: walk in there yet. Don't go until you know it
- 7:54Speaker 1: better than one than no one else. That you know
- 7:57Speaker 1: it better than anybody else on this earth. That's vital.
- 8:00Speaker 1: You have to know what you're doing. You have to
- 8:03Speaker 1: know every bit of it to the best of your
- 8:04Speaker 1: ability so that you can talk about it. Because the
- 8:07Speaker 1: minute they see you flinch, the minute that they see
- 8:09Speaker 1: you not know or you start to make it up
- 8:11Speaker 1: as you go, I think that's where people start to
- 8:13Speaker 1: lose confidence and who you are, what you're about, what
- 8:16Speaker 1: you're talking about. I think every successful person always looks
- 8:24Speaker 1: at other successful people as especially in their field, where
- 8:28Speaker 1: a field they're endeavoring to get into why fix it
- 8:33Speaker 1: If it's not broke, you just have to find your
- 8:35Speaker 1: piece of it that you bring to make it you.
- 8:37Speaker 1: But if they're doing it, and they're doing it incredibly, well,
- 8:40Speaker 1: sit back and look at it and find all the
- 8:42Speaker 1: ways that you can take that great model, fix it
- 8:46Speaker 1: where you feel like it needs to be fixed, make
- 8:49Speaker 1: it you, And then can you add to it? Can
- 8:52Speaker 1: you put something on top of it? And then you
- 8:54Speaker 1: take that and really that's when you start to really
- 8:57Speaker 1: do the work and sit down and study each piece
- 9:00Speaker 1: of it, and then you assign the time frames. I
- 9:01Speaker 1: think the time frames, the timelines are the critical piece
- 9:05Speaker 1: to it because that's where so many people go from
- 9:09Speaker 1: just having a hobby or a dream. And I'm sure
- 9:15Speaker 1: many people will understand that dreams are tough because without
- 9:19Speaker 1: a time frame, a timeline, they may just stay dreams.
- 9:23Speaker 1: When you assign a time frame and a plan of
- 9:25Speaker 1: action to it, it can become a goal and then
- 9:27Speaker 1: it can become attainable. And I think that's what you
- 9:30Speaker 1: have to do. Is it brings it, makes it very present.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Then you have your work cut out for you. You know
- 9:35Speaker 1: what you need to do, and now it's just about
- 9:37Speaker 1: doing it.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Here you can see the finish line. You can make
- 9:46Speaker 2: it past this. This is where the future begins. Your
- 9:51Speaker 2: future begins. Limits are here for you, made especially for you.
- 9:59Speaker 2: This is so what changes you, This is what constructs
- 10:03Speaker 2: your future. Let them hold you back. This is how
- 10:06Speaker 2: you can show everyone you can push push past your fears.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Boundaries are here to bring you down, and you are
- 10:15Speaker 2: here to rise above them and break them down. You
- 10:20Speaker 2: are on top, so act like it. You've always been
- 10:25Speaker 2: in control. Show that you can rise up, Rise up
- 10:29Speaker 2: to your potential. You can become something with purpose, take authority.
- 10:36Speaker 2: It's time to rise. Time to stand up to your life,
- 10:42Speaker 2: stand up to your beliefs, stand up to your future.
- 10:46Speaker 2: This is where it begins. Know that today is the
- 10:52Speaker 2: day to become your limits. Let them define you, let
- 10:56Speaker 2: them bring you up taller and taller. Today is where
- 11:01Speaker 2: your story begins. Today is the start of your new life,
- 11:05Speaker 2: the start of a new future where you are the
- 11:08Speaker 2: only person in control. You hold this power, Use it,
- 11:13Speaker 2: change into it. Use what you have and change change
- 11:18Speaker 2: into a better and better person. The fire within you
- 11:22Speaker 2: is still there. Do you remember it? The fire you felt, desire, inspiration,
- 11:29Speaker 2: fuel to carry on, motivate the spark of motivation to
