I'm here to talk to you about you.
I'm here to talk to you about compromising your life.
When are you going to stop compromising your life
for what everybody else wants you to do?
It is your life.
Stop trying to sit there and trying to impress everybody.
Stop trying to be everybody's friend, stop trying to make everybody's day.
If you want to do that then you should give out lollipops and candy
but that's not what life is made of that's not life is about.
Your life is about taking full advantage of your happiness
and it's just that, it is your happiness.
Stop compromising your life for other people.
Do not let anybody tell you what, where, why
you should love or like something just go out there and do it.
Stop compromising your life for people who really don't care if you succeed or fail.
And that's a fact.
You have to be willing to step outside of your comfort zone
go out there and tackle obstacles, goals that you want to achieve.
Not your mom, not your dad not your girlfriend
not your brothers and sisters, not your kids.
You got to do what you want.
You will not be a good father, you will not be a good husband
you will not be a good wife if you are unable to love yourself.
You have the same 24 hours that the billionaire has
you have the same 24 hour that the bum has.
What are you gonna do with your time?
Enough is enough, man!
I'm sick and tired of it.
Stop compromising who you are for everybody else.
I am no longer shy, broken, weak
because you gave me belief.
You can achieve anything you want
because now you believe it.
I am no longer a sheep living in disbelief
This belief that I am not great, that I am not strong
that I am not worthy of this greatness.
I am amazing, I am phenomenal, I am capable of all things.
So are you
Oftentimes, we allow everybody to dictate what's valuable in our lives
It's because of you I now see the light.
You're an unstoppable force of nature.
I am going to control my own destiny
I hold the pen that writes my own story.
I come to you vulnerable, you give me amour making me invincible
You're no longer allowed to ask why.
Why me? you now say try me
This wisdom shall set you free.
Free from the chains that hold your imagination, your greatness captive
Anything you put in front of me I shall break down, I shall destroy.
You have the power bestowed upon you to be great.
You now have no excuse not to be great, not to be amazing
you hold the gift of greatness in your heart.
When adversity hits you, get back up
You're no longer weak, you're no longer misguided
shy, broken, lost, vulnerable
you are confident, you are focused
you are strong, you are invincible.
Now you have the power
and this is why I come to you.
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want to achieve greatness?
How bad do you want to achieve your greatness
because let me tell you something, it is inside of you
it is inside of me, it is inside of every single person watching this video
right here right now.
You do not understand, just how great you can be
because you are letting other people
infiltrate your thoughts, your dreams, your goals.
When is enough going to be enough?
When are you going to get passionate about attacking your goals?
You are either the predator or the prey.
You are either getting up every single day trying to survive
or you're getting up every day ready to hunt.
You have to hunt down your dreams, hunt down your goals
and when it's time for you to dig deep and start hunting even harder
is when people keep doubting you
Because they're going to be doubters
there's going to be naysayers
and your job is to not prove them wrong, like I thought
but prove that you're right about you.
Once I decided to, to stop
compromising my beliefs, my values, my visions, my goals for anybody else
is where I found true happiness.
That's where I unlock my greatness
That's where you can take control and take back your life
When are you going to say enough is enough
and stop allowing somebody's thoughts of you be your reality?
Stop allowing people to come into your zone, your world and take control
Enough is enough. I'm sick and tired of it
when are you going to be sick and tired of it?
Every time I run into obstacles I embrace them.
I've learned to accept failure not as a stumbling block
not as a dead end but more as a step.
Failure is a step to my success, a step to my greatness.
Every time I fail I'm going to pick up and take something positive from it.
It might hurt, it might burn me up inside
but I know that it's going to set me up
for success.
I want to be in shape, I want to be the best athlete
the best fighter, the best father, the best person that I can be.
There is no sacrificing or shortcuting greatness.
I got to make an effort to be just as better.
I got to practice what I preach
I'm going to focus on the one person that I can control
and I can make happy and that is me.
How are you going to deal with adversity and obstacles?
because they are going to come.
I tell people all the time, man
if you- if you just train for something, a Marathon
or you train for a sport or you just train to be healthy
that is great, that's perfect.
But I train for different
I train differently because I train for life
I train for when I'm going to get that dark, disgusting phone call
that's going to hit me at my core
and it's going to try to shatter and break me and bring me down to ground zero.
That's what I'm training for.
I'm training for those deep dark moments
when I'm going to have to dig deep inside myself and look for the answer
Look for the little shimmer of light that's gonna be there.
It doesn't rain all the time.
There is going to be dark days
but I promise you it's going to allow you to embrace the light so much more.
You need those dark days.
You need those dark hours
you need it because without it you won't value the light.
I'm not telling you to accept defeat
because defeat
defeat hurts
burns
shatters you.
As an athlete when I first lost my first fight, I thought the world was over
I thought everybody was looking down on me
I thought there was no possible way that I could go on.
It felt like somebody stole the breath out of my lungs
but guess what?
I'm here standing, taller, stronger, harder than ever
and that's what you got to do.
You got to sit there and allow your defeats,
your failures, your obstacles to fuel you.
But don't forget, don't let it fuel you to prove other people wrong
No, prove that you were right
And how are you gonna start to do that?
You have to start limiting the way that you think about yourself negatively
because guess what?
Every time you say I am, every time you say anything about yourself
guess who's listening? You
you can hear it, it's going to vibrate the energy that you have inside
is going to penetrate and infiltrate the world
and it's going to attract either negativity or positivity.
You have to put your beliefs and your actions in line with your values
and that's how you're going to get the greatness out of you.
If you want it then go and get it.
Don't wait till everything is perfect because it's never going to be perfect
Your greatness will never be perfect.
Some of the greatest minds, the greatest thinkers, the greatest innovators
were looked at as crazy.
They were ready for their greatness
They just took a leap of faith
Jump and grow wings on your way down
You have greatness inside of you
Now it's your time
It's your turn, it's your due diligence
to share it with the world.
