  Speaker 1: I got one question to ask you. Can you do
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: this thing alone?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I've trained 99% of my life alone.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: No one pat me on the back. I did all
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of the work alone. You hear me say this all
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the time. For some of you, this is it.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Your daddy can't come up here as an alumnus and
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: get you hooked up with the influential people and get
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: you back in school.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: For some of you, this is it. It doesn't start
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with them and they. It starts with me. It starts
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with me. Be alone. Go to that dark space. You
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: may not want to fight that battle, but you need to.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: When you train alone, I can take myself to such
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: a level of real, real passion and purpose.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Nobody's going to feed us. You got to feed yourself.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: The feeling I get is something I can't even explain.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I don't need anyone. It's on you. You got to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: want it as bad as you want to breathe. Success
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: starts with you. It's all on you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: If you want to be strong, you got to learn
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: to fight alone.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And you may not feel qualified. You may not feel
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: like you are educated enough. You may not feel like
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you're connected enough. You may not think.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: That enough people are aware of you, cognizant of you,
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: because you don't have a blue check and you're not
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: a celebrity yet.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: But you got to work hard and challenge. You got
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: to work when nobody's watching. You got to sacrifice behind
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: the scenes. What did God put in you? Release it
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: to the world.
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: Day in and day out, you got to keep on working.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: And if you get knocked down, so what? Rise up! Yes,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you're tired. Yes, your mind is saying give up. Yes,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it's saying quit.
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: But you cannot quit because you realize you have not reached.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: The goal yet.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: But what you cannot do is you cannot quit doing
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the process. You cannot give up because it ain't what
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: you see.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You cannot give up.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Champions keep going when they don't have anything left in
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: their tank.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: If it's going to be personal, make it personal. Don't
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: just be great in public, be great in private.
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: If you can see it in your head, you can
• 2:29
  Speaker 9: hold it in your hands. But the question I'm going
• 2:31
  Speaker 9: to ask you is, are you committed?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Day after day after day, grind after grind after grind,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I can't quit. I can't stop. I can't get tired.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I can't give up. I can't give in.
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: Nobody's going to believe in you until you've already done it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: Nobody's going to come and celebrate with you until you've
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: already done it. Which means you're going to have to
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: work for a long time by yourself with no applause,
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: with no awards. No one's going to believe in you
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: in the beginning.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Nor should they. Be okay with it. If I have
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to do it alone I will. Start alone, but get started.
• 3:29
  Speaker 10: Every single day you are either losing ground or gaining ground.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: The choice is yours. This time, make it personal. If
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: you can make it personal, it's personal. It doesn't start.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: With them and they. It starts with me. It starts
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: with me. I don't know who I'm talking to.
• 3:52
  Speaker 11: I don't know what you've been called to do, what
• 3:54
  Speaker 11: you've been called to accomplish, what you've been destined to build.
• 3:59
  Speaker 11: I'm just wondering if you are bold enough, daring enough,
• 4:02
  Speaker 11: if you can believe in your dream again, if you
• 4:04
  Speaker 11: can get committed.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: See, when you get personal, when you make it personal,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: everything changes.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: I'm talking to that athlete. I'm talking to that musician.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Come on, who are you out there?
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: That philosopher, that engineer, that thought leader, that critical thinker.
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: Come on, that captain of industry.
• 4:24
  Speaker 10: I'm talking to you when your personal life.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Lines up with your purpose. Get public authority towards. You
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: want influence? I'm not talking about just fame.
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: I'm talking about influence, the power to change people's lives.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Everybody wants public authority, but.
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: Nobody wants private discipline. When your habits change behind the scenes,
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: when your private life begins to shift, when you put
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: aside the things that are not serving you, where's your.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Integrity behind the scenes? Come on, where are your values
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes? What do your habits look like behind
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the scenes?
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Come on, what kind of work are you putting in
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: behind the scenes?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Come on, write it again. Come on, believe it again.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Come on, sing again. Record the song again. Come on.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: It starts with where you are and where you're going.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Can you look ahead? Can you stretch forth? Can you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: condition yourself? Can you prepare yourself for the next thing?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 5:21
  Speaker 11: What did God put in you?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Release it to the world. If it's going to be personal,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: make it personal. Don't just be great in public, be
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: great in private.
• 5:36
  Speaker 9: If you can see it in your head, you can
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: hold it in your hands.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: But the question I want to ask you is, Are
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: you committed?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Can you identify? What has kept you broken? What has
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: kept you broke? What has kept you defeated?
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: What has kept you covered under the blankets of anxiety
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: and stress and overwhelm? But you're trying to make business
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: moves with people that don't think like you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: They don't walk like you. They don't sacrifice like you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 12: They're not willing to put in the blood, the sweat,
• 6:13
  Speaker 12: the tears behind closed doors.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: A man is rewarded in public for what he does
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in private.
• 6:21
  Speaker 12: I need you to disappear for the next 30 days.
• 6:25
  Speaker 12: What does that look like?
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: 720 hours dedicated to the future.
• 6:31
  Speaker 12: I need you to disappear for 30 days. Just 30 days.
• 6:35
  Speaker 12: Can you walk away for 30 days? Can you silence
• 6:39
  Speaker 12: the doubters for 30 days?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Can you tell everybody.
• 6:42
  Speaker 12: To be quiet for 30 days so you can focus
• 6:44
  Speaker 12: on me?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Who you are today has gotten you as far as
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you're going to get.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: If you're going to get any further, you've got to
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: reinvent yourself.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And if you're going to reinvent yourself, you've got to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: set it down for 30 days. I need you to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: pursue it. I need you to go get it, all right?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I need you to go get it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Don't wait for it to come to you, all right?
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Greatness is not going to come knock on your door.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: There's some opportunity that's not going to come knock on
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: your door.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You've got to go get them.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Without even knowing you, if you're watching me, you already
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: know you've got something within that you wanted. I already
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: know that. Because I already know you can. But my
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: question to you young people this summer, will you? I
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: already know what you're capable of doing, but my question is,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: will you reach your potential?
• 7:30
  Speaker 12: You've been too focused on who was not there for
• 7:32
  Speaker 12: you and who did not believe in you and the
• 7:35
  Speaker 12: people that just said it but didn't do it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You've been too focused on that. The trauma, the anxiety.
• 7:42
  Speaker 12: And I'm wondering if you can begin to shift that
• 7:44
  Speaker 12: focus in the next 30 days.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: If you can begin to shift that focus on what's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: working in your life.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: What's within your control and not what's outside of your control.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: What can you control? Who can you influence?
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: The first person that needs to be influenced in your
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: life is you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: It's you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: You can't lead anybody.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: You can't go anywhere unless you have awakened yourself on
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: the inside to follow a specific plan.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Write it out.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: I need you to disappear for 30 days.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Listen to me very closely. It is no shame in
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: wanting to quit. All right. No shame in wanting to quit.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Let me just real quick. Let me be honest with you.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Let me be transparent with you.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I'm saying this stuff, this school stuff is killing me. Like,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: it's cramping my style. And I just, for a second, y'all,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: can I just be transparent? I was like, I can't
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: stand school right now. I got one more stats class
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: to go to be finished with my coursework for the PhD.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling y'all, I was like, I'm ready to quit.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I'm ready to give up. It ain't no shame in
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: thinking about quitting. It ain't no shame. It ain't no
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: shame in getting tired. It's no shame in feeling burnt out.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: It's no shame. But the trick is don't just think
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: about it. Say to yourself, I got to rethink it
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and get this thought out of my mind.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Because the shame is in quitting. So if you thought
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: about it, ain't nothing wrong with that boo. Don't let
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: that thought become a reality.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: All right. Three words for you. Shut it down.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: We cannot have the future without revelation. We need to
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: see how far we are from where.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to be.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Once you shut it down, you'll be able to diagnose.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: You'll be able to examine. You'll be able to repair
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: the roads. You still keep trying to walk into your
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: future fractured, broken, hurting. You need to walk into your
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: future whole.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You can decide the quality of your life, all right?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Listen to me.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: You are not a victim. Okay, nope, I can't decide
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: how I was born. Nope, I can't say when I die.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: What you can do is you can control all that
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: stuff in between.
• 10:17
  Speaker 13: You're standing at the precipice, the edge of the
• 10:20
  Speaker 13: greatest move in your life and the time is now
• 10:24
  Speaker 13: like never.
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: Before to take a leap of faith. It takes faith
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: to jump off of the edge. It takes faith to
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: step into your purpose. It takes faith to step into
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: your destiny.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: It takes faith to pull away from everything that is familiar,
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: to step into uncharted territory, to become the.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Person you were born to be. It takes faith. Can
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you disappear for 30 days? Put in the work. Examine
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: what you've written. Think over the things you've discussed with people.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Go through the process. Go through the mud. Inhale. Exhale.
• 11:04
  Speaker 12: I know it's cold on the other side, but it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 12: time for you to cross.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Over because you're too comfortable.
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: What is preventing most people from moving in the direction
• 11:19
  Speaker 14: that they want to move is a lack of discipline.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And no one wants to hear that answer.
• 11:25
  Speaker 14: It's the harshest answer.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: This is hard work, it's every day.
• 11:30
  Speaker 14: When they see that word discipline, it's actually a slap
• 11:32
  Speaker 14: in the face because they know it's true.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: If any fraction of self-discipline, the ability to not want
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: to do it but still do it, that's the most
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: powerful thing in the world.
• 11:42
  Speaker 14: What are you gonna get without discipline? Are you gonna
• 11:44
  Speaker 14: be in good physical shape without discipline? Are you gonna
• 11:47
  Speaker 14: be financially successful without discipline? Are you gonna become more
• 11:52
  Speaker 14: intellectually powerful without discipline?
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: You're going to see me for who I am because
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I need to change who I'm not.
• 12:02
  Speaker 14: Discipline is the root of all good qualities. If you
• 12:05
  Speaker 14: want to make progress in your life, you've got to
• 12:07
  Speaker 14: have discipline. Discipline equals freedom. You want freedom in your life?
• 12:12
  Speaker 15: You want to achieve what it is you want to achieve?
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: How do you do that? You do it through discipline.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: You do it through hard work. You do it by
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: knowing what it is you're supposed to do and then
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: actually doing it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: You have to face yourself.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: What am I going to do today to change what
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I see in this mirror?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: It starts with yourself, man.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Through hard work, you can outwork anybody.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Like I'm going to be extreme in my discipline. Somebody
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: asked me that on social media. How do you master discipline?
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you don't.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You don't.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: You keep working at it though.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Every day.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: It takes power. It takes effort, it takes discipline to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: break the old you.
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: What gives you confidence not being afraid is overcoming the fear.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: There's no one in the world that enjoys taking criticism.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: It's in the discomfort zone is where my confidence is
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: getting built.
• 13:06
  Speaker 14: The tougher things you go through, the more confidence you're
• 13:08
  Speaker 14: going to have, the more confidence you.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Have, the better you're going to get. But I'm going
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to work and try and make myself better. And that's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the mentality you have.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: A lot of us who are afraid of something We
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: allow our minds to choose the path of least resistance
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: so we go a different route.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: What I did was what I knew how to do,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: which was work. You figure it out by going inside yourself.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Because being a warrior takes a whole different mindset. That's
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to do. You have time.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: You have the knowledge and the willpower and the discipline
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: to get it done.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Your heart, your life, your happiness is your responsibility and
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: your responsibility alone.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: One day you're going to realize your life is yours
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: and there's a lot of people important to you that
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: surround it, but ultimately it's yours.
• 14:09
  Speaker 16: Then you must decide where you want to invest this life.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Invest in something worthwhile. You have to picture yourself there.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Wherever it is, you've got to picture yourself there. The
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: next step is you've got to believe it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 16: Number one in your life's blueprint should be a deep
• 14:33
  Speaker 16: belief in your own dignity, your own worth, and your
• 14:40
  Speaker 16: own somebody-ness. Don't allow anybody to make you feel that
• 14:47
  Speaker 16: you are nobody.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: See, sometimes we can't say, I can do that.
• 14:56
  Speaker 17: But what we can say, that it's possible that I
• 15:00
  Speaker 17: can have my dream as we run toward it, as.
• 15:04
  Speaker 15: We work on it day in and day out.
• 15:09
  Speaker 14: They were going to make a change and then they made.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: It.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: This is your moment. It's not tomorrow. It's not next year.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It's not when you're going to graduate. It's right here,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: right now. And every choice you make, you're impacting that thing.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: We're going to be lying. You know, when a lion
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: is injured, when a lion is bleeding, he licks his
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: wounds and he keeps walking.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Your time is one of the most powerful tools you
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: will ever have.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Let hold up! Let hold up!
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: And when that thing tells you to quit, you look
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: at it in his eyes and.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Say, I ain't going nowhere.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I will break you before you break me.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: You will be like a shark. You will think like
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: a shark. You can't go backwards. If you stop swimming,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you will die.
• 16:05
  Speaker 15: If life knocks you down, try and land on your back.
• 16:08
  Speaker 16: Because if you can look up, you can get up.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: This is the year of the word. Act like you
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: hear me. This is the year of the word. This
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: is the year of the word. Act like it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: The moment and the time for you to change your
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: life is now.
• 16:25
  Speaker 16: Always feel that you count. Always feel that you have worth.
• 16:34
  Speaker 16: And always feel that your life has ultimate significance.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: You choose what you're looking for because what you look for,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: you find. That's how life works.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Make good choices, great things happen. But you've got to
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: believe in you. So believe. Keep your eyes on the prize.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: That's right, stay locked in and focus on the goal.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: You gotta block everything out. Hear what I'm telling you.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: You gotta block everything out. You gotta be willing to
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: block out the pain. You gotta be willing to block
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: out the disappointment. You gotta be willing to block it
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: all out and keep your eyes on the prize. I
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: don't know, ask yourself the question, what do you want?
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I can't answer that for you.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: What do you want?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Is it a degree? You want a better marriage? You
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: want to make the team? You want a better GPA?
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not really sure, but ask yourself the question, what
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: is it you want?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Then after you ask yourself the question, what do you want?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: You got to ask.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Yourself this, are you willing to pay the price? That's right,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: you got to block out all the negative people. You
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: got to block out every single obstacle and you got
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: to keep your eyes on the prize.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: You got to stay focused.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: In the words of the great Wayne Buckner, he said,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: if it was easy, everybody would do it. You heard
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: exactly what I said. If it was easy to have
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: a great marriage, everybody would do it. If it was
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: easy to get your master's, get your PhD, everybody.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Would do it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: If it was easy to get a 4.0 in every class,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: everybody would do it. So number one, If you want
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: to get past the pain, if you want to get
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: past the disappointments, if you want to get to your goal,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: you've got to stay locked in. You've got to keep
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: your eyes on the prize. You've got to be focused.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I need you to learn to focus on the next
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: 24 hours and.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: No more because I'm going to tell you what happens.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: When you start thinking about a week, when you start
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: thinking about a month, when you start thinking about what you're.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Going to do next year, man, you get overwhelmed. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: need you to do me a huge favor, and I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: need you.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: To learn to stay locked in on a 24-hour time frame.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Nothing less and nothing more.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: That's right. Take it one day at a time. Take
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: it one day at a time. You heard what I said,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: 24 hours. And if you can learn a 24-hour principle,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: if you can learn to take it one day at
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: a time, I guarantee you'll never get overwhelmed.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Stop worrying about next semester, right?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Stop worrying about the semester after that. Listen to me,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: you focus on today. Focus on today. And if you
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: can focus on those 24 hours, you can realize it
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: is manageable. And once you understand it is manageable and
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: that it's doable, you're going to be all right. take
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: full responsibility of your actions and your responses. I'm not
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: telling you to take responsibility for the things that happen
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: that you don't have any control of.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: That's not what I'm asking you to do. But what
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I am saying is that the part of the.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Problem that has your name written on it, take full
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: responsibility for that part. There are some things in life
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: you can't do anything about. You can't do anything.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: About the fact that the boss doesn't like you.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: You can't do a thing about it if your teacher
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: doesn't like you, right? But I'm telling you today, if
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: you don't like your physical look, if you don't feel
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: good about who you are, boo, get some gym shoes,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: tie your laces, and.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Get to running. So get rid of that book bag mentality.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Stop giving up before the end. Learn all you can.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Stop going from one thing to the next. Hear what
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? Stop trying to overcome before you become.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: That's the problem with some of you. You always want
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: to blame other people. You always want to hold other
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: people to the fire, but you're not holding yourself to
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: the fire. You just said you're giving 50%. You owe
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: you an explanation. You owe you an explanation. You need
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: to look at yourself in the mirror and say, why
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: are you only giving 50%?
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? You need to put yourself on punishment.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: You need to tell you, no more TV, no more snacks,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: no more desserts, no more, no, we working out now. Not, no,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I can't handle it right now. You need to tell
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: you that you owe you something. And if you create
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: a culture of losing, if you keep being a victim,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: if you keep letting losing happen to you, if you
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: keep letting people do you and treat you any kind
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: of way, it's going to become a culture.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: The dream will destroy you. Let it. All men are
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: created equal. Some work hard in preseason. When I went
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to college, guys were way smarter than me. 4.0s, 3.0s.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: They went to the Ivy League high schools, came to
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Oakwood from these great high schools.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Most of them are not doing what I'm doing. Why?
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Because it's not about where you come from. It's about heart.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: You've got to let your dream destroy you. You've got
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: to give everything you've got. No excuses.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: This is your opportunity to blow up.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: If you really want your dream bad enough, if you
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: really want to go where you say you want to go,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: if you really want to do what you say you
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: want to do, you have to let your dream destroy you.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: You have to let your dream break you down because
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that's the only way that you're going to be built
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: back up.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: The version of you that you are right now is
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: a blessing, but it won't take you to the next level.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: What got you here won't take you there.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: So let the dream destroy you, tear you down, redefine you,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: build you back up, make you stronger. The first version
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: of Eric Thomas would never be able to stand in
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: front of you guys. The first version of Eric Thomas,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: the high school dropout, that guy would have never been
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: able to stand here and help you. I had to
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: destroy that Eric Thomas.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: See, your problem is you talk a good game.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: But at the first sign of adversity, at the first
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: sign of a setback, at the first sign of a hiccup,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: at the first sign of something not going the way
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: you thought it should go, you quit.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Let the dream destroy you.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Let it strip you. Let it remake and mold you.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Don't be afraid.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Pain is what's going to lead to that future gain.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: You got to let your dream destroy you. You got
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to give everything you got. to be able at any.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Moment to sacrifice what we are for what.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: We could be. I don't do well in math. You're right.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: You ain't never studied.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not good in writing because you have never written before.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: But I dare you to fail in writing for a
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: whole year to see if you can get to the end.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I dare you to fail.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I dare you to take that same class over and
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: over again.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I dare you to stop dropping classes like you saw.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Will the real Eric Thomas please stand up? Stop being
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: this high school dropout. Stop giving up. Stop sleeping on
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: the streets and get your GED. Stop being afraid to
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: take a test. Stop being afraid to go to college
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: because your daddy didn't go and your mama didn't go.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Stop being afraid and be the best Eric Thomas you
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: can be. But listen to me, it's going to be hard.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: It took me 12 years to get a four-year degree,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: but I got it. And guess what? On a degree,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: it don't have dates. So if it took you four
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and it took me 12, it don't show up nowhere.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I need you to study like you've never studied before.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I need you up all night long.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Studying getting about three four hours here hour and a
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: half here two hours here You hear me say this
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: all the time, but some of you this is it
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: And even you say Eric look man, you understand if
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: I put everything and I'm still gonna get a 1.0
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you to do it anyway Because you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I told up flunk English three times like when I
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: was in college right lucky the first time And I
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: quit when they told me I couldn't pass the second time.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: She told me you're gonna flunk I stayed in there
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: anyway And guess what? As stupid as this might.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Sound, even though you flunk, you learn a new concept, right?
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: So that's one or two less concepts I got to
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: learn the next year, right? And finally, that third time,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I clipped it, which means you just take a test.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: And I took the test and I passed it.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: You don't get it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: You have to give everything you got to get what
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: you want. You have to give everything you don't even
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: realize you have to get where you're trying to go.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Don't you get it? When you do what they want,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you will have what they don't. When you do what
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: they refuse, they won't have the options that you get
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to choose. Because those are reserved for those who choose
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to move when others choose to stand still. Those are
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: reserved for those that choose to get up when so
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: many others couldn't find the strength to lift up and
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: give more. And when you get to the point where
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: all you want to do is be successful as bad
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful. And
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you, number one, that most of
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: you say you want to be.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Successful, but you don't want it bad. You just kind
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: of want it. You don't want it bad and you
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: want to party. You don't want it as much as
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: you want to be cool.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Most of you don't want success as much as you
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: want to sleep. Some of you, you can make sacrifices
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: when Monday Night Football is not on. You can make
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: a sacrifice, but when the game come on, for some reason,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: you just attach to it. You can make sacrifices on
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Sunday when ain't nothing going on. But when your favorite
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: show comes on Monday, bam, some of you, you focus
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: into the phone ring, and then you like, I gotta
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: answer it. If I don't answer the phone, I'm gonna die.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I'm saying to you today that there are some of you,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: if you give up your cell phone, you would be successful.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: But your cell phone is more important to you than
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: your success. You have to give it everything you got.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: No more TV, no more parties, no more playing. If
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: you have a 4.0, what you need.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: To be doing is studying. Get off the phone.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm not available until the end of this year.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: No, I'm for real.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: You've reached the right number, but you called me at
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: the wrong time. Call me back January 1st. I'm about
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: to get busy now.
• 27:18
  Speaker 15: Not only is it possible for you to have your.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Dream and it's necessary for you to challenge.
• 27:23
  Speaker 15: Yourself to go after it and get better and leverage
• 27:26
  Speaker 15: the relationships that can help you get to where you
• 27:28
  Speaker 15: want to go, but it's you. The major key to
• 27:35
  Speaker 15: your reaching your dream, your living up to your greatness,
• 27:38
  Speaker 15: your making your contribution.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Is you.
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: You went through all of the struggles, all of the challenges,
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: but you made it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: And here you are. The work needs to be done.
• 27:56
  Speaker 18: If it's going to happen, you're going to have to
• 27:59
  Speaker 18: eliminate excuses. It is possible to fully commit yourself to something.
• 28:05
  Speaker 18: It is possible to accomplish what you see in your head.
• 28:09
  Speaker 18: The question is, can you give your all?
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: You need to shut down all negativity. Believe in everything
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: that you are and understand that within you there's.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Something greater than any obstacle you'll ever face.
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: Whatever situations that you had to endure.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Last year, leave it there. It has nothing to do
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: with what's coming right now.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: Because if you don't feel this fire, then it's not
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: a dream. If you don't get up When the count
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: is at nine, you're wanting enough. If you can hear
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: my voice, you've got work to do. You've got a
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: destiny to fulfill. You've got a purpose to walk into.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: You've got a test to pass.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: You're about to be given a second chance at greatness,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: a fresh start. We need to change.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: That internal dialogue.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: It's time to step into the shoes you were meant
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: to wear.
• 29:13
  Speaker 15: What people think about you and the possibilities for your
• 29:16
  Speaker 15: dream is.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: None of your business. That's their business.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: They have no imagination, ladies and gentlemen.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: They're living out of the past, out of their memory.
• 29:28
  Speaker 15: The attitude is it can't be done because they haven't
• 29:31
  Speaker 15: seen it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: They're judging according to appearances. The people that are going
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: to make it in the future, the people that are.
• 29:38
  Speaker 15: Making it today, let me share something with you. History
• 29:41
  Speaker 15: is being read, but it's also being written by people
• 29:45
  Speaker 15: with imagination.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: This is your life, my friend. And I'm sure when
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: it's all said and done, you don't want to look
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: back and see that you wasted it. This is your life,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: my friend. So you stand up. This is your life,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: my friend. So you rise up. This is your life,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: my friend. So you keep going. This is your life,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: my friend. So you never give up. This is your life,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: my friend. You need to keep going.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: You have the option to choose. Are you going to
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: let the pain of your past define your reality right now?
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: That's your choice that you make every day. Is what
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: happened to you when you was eight years old going
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: to define the person that you are today or are
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: you this person who you choose? Are you in control
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: of your life? You're going to let pain that happened
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: six years ago mess up your mood today in real life.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: The only thing that's real about your journey is the
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: step that you take right now.
• 30:53
  Speaker 12: If you don't apply what you hear, you won't get
• 30:56
  Speaker 12: what you want.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: Life doesn't get any easier. It doesn't get more forgiving.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: We just get stronger and we get more resilient.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: You are going to incur a lot of.
• 31:10
  Speaker 17: Disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of setbacks, a
• 31:16
  Speaker 17: lot of defeats. But in the process of doing that,
• 31:20
  Speaker 17: You will discover some things about yourself that you don't
• 31:23
  Speaker 17: know right now.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: And when you figure that out, you'll learn like the
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: world is off the chain. Opportunities are endless, but you
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: can't get them looking in your rear view or your future.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Going to look just like your past.
• 31:38
  Speaker 15: Yeah, so you're here because you're different, you're uncommon. One
• 31:41
  Speaker 15: man said, I choose not to be a common man.
• 31:43
  Speaker 15: It's my right to be uncommon if I can't.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: You don't have the reality that you want. You create it.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: You in charge of your life. Stop praying that the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: storm will.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Pass over you and pray to grow through the storm.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Stop going around it. Go through it. What you go through,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: you will grow through. Some fights are not won in
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the first round.
