and so as I began to work on myself I
realize that I’m getting out of one
story and stepping into another story as
I become aware of some things there’s
still some things I’m not aware of so I
still I’m still growing I’m still
developing I’m like the ladies that
Laura ate what a wannabe what I’m going
to be but thank God I sho ate what I was
but I realized that that you have to
work on yourself on a regular basis and
write this out for mental mindset for
mental mindset and stamina because
things are going to happen to you and
you could discover what your purpose is
there’s a difference determining
indicates deciding and I don’t think you
decide I think if you go about it the
right way you discover it like there’s
some people that should be painting all
day they’re great artists
I think Michelangelo was obviously a
great artist it’s great sculptor I mean
that was his purpose in his life
well I believe my purpose is doing what
I’m doing your purpose is why you get
out of bed in the morning do you know
why you get up well most people say well
it’s they’re gonna work well that’d be a
good reason to stay in bed you know you
say well everybody’s doing it
that’ll be another reason to stay in bed
if you’re ever doing what everybody’s
doing you’re probably going in the wrong
direction your purpose is your reason
for living what you want to do is sit
down and maybe take a pen and a pad and
then ask yourself what do I really love
doing now you may have to spend a while
at this you might get up an hour early
every morning and go sit under a tree
somewhere if you’re in a nice climate or
pick a favorite chair someplace where
you’re not going to be disturbed and
totally relaxed and say
if I could spend my life doing something
what do I really love doing now since
you don’t ask yourself that question
every day it might take a while for this
answer to come to the surface but it
comes to your consciousness and it may
take a while you may have to do this
every morning for three months but it
would be well invested the time most
people are not accumulating well most
people are living in poverty most people
are living far below their potential not
because they don’t have the capacity not
because they have not been given
authority and dominion over everything
on the face of the earth but most people
are living like they’re living because
of the fact that they don’t believe they
can have anymore than what they now have
and the book called a mis-education of
the negro dr. cottagey Woodson says if
you can determine what a man shall think
you’d never have to concern yourself
with what he will do if you can make a
man feel inferior you’d never have to
compel him to seek an imperious status
well he will seek it himself and if you
can make a man feel justly an outcast
you never have to order him to go to the
back door he’ll go without being told
and if there’s no door his very nature
will demand
that’s why scripture reminds us be not
conformed to this world but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind
so every day you have to sell yourself
and get out of your mind those old
thoughts that old belief system every
day you’ve got to sell yourself on that
it’s possible that you got to put a new
mind and you you got to get out of your
mind you got to begin to restructure
your thinking every day you’ve got to
begin to recondition your mind see many
of us go through life making choices
thinking it’s our choices and it’s not
anything that doesn’t work out any show
that I might not get any any show that I
might do that doesn’t turn out well gets
pulled off or something like that I
always think of as this is the way it
was supposed to be that’s the way it was
supposed to happen because there’s
something bigger down the road there’s
something better down the road and that
and this is happening because I’m not
ready or you know and it’s always
happened that way I mean the first time
I ever went to Yuk Yuk’s when I was 15
years old I went to Church Street the
old Yuk Yuk’s it was two lanes of a
bowling alley and I went there and and I
was not good it was all right I mean I
was you were 15 I was 15 I had a white
polyester suit on my mom put on if I
went down there with that and and got up
on stage and and I was doing all right
really but the owner of the club got on
the mic backstage and started going
totally boring and I wasn’t hip enough
for them so so I was pretty shattered
and I didn’t go back for two years and
then my father said when I was 17 I
started doing little shows here and
there again and he said why don’t you go
back to your kicks I said no way I don’t
want to go back there and he said well
you really you know you should get over
it
I mean if you if you’re gonna gonna go
into the business and you want to do it
seriously you can’t have those barriers
you know and and I went back and I did
great and I became a regular and a
headliner and and it built from there
and then when I went down to Los Angeles
the same thing happened I went to the
comedy star I did all right
but not good enough to become a regular
and I become totally discouraged the
comedy star I came back to Toronto like
everybody who doesn’t do well down there
comes back on hate Los Angeles it’s such
a crummy place no really
you can’t raise kids there and all that
stuff and comedy stories a rat race it’s
a rat race but then two years later
again my father he says to me well you
should try and get into the Comedy Store
and and my manager set up a showcase
there like I went in and I did well and
became a regular there and everything
has happened from there since it’s just
it’s been incredible and it always goes
in stages like that so I I accept the
fact that I fail you know because I know
that it’s that’s the way it’s supposed
to be you want to make your dream come
true you got to stay focused some people
rather get even than get ahead stay
focus on where you want to go I just
kept on doing what I was supposed to do
and so I was driving to the radio
station my opponent had over $20,000 I
had less than $800 as I was in the radio
station the guy said you’re gonna make a
commercial I said yes is there a better
bill good one because that money can’t
go pretty far here
and I sit there in the middle control
room and I was stinky and here’s what
happens when you get still stuff will
start coming something said call you
mama used to talk about your mother on
the air all the time ask her to say a
few words for you that’ll be a different
kind of political spa so I call my mama
and I had a gospel record playing in the
[Applause]
and then I had my mother say hello this
is mrs. Mamie Brown when I raised my
sons I raised them to be good children
when they got out of hand I beat them
behind and made them go right
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
usually in a state representative race
maybe three or four thousand people will
come out to vote in a primary and that
primary race over 27,000 people came out
and voted said I’m voting for Less
ladies and gentlemen
so you’ve got to be willing to say focus
to be creative to be relentless because
things are going to happen to you when
you’re working on your dream fascinated
by comedy I’m fascinated by many many
different things I don’t understand when
people say they’re bored because if I
had the time to live a hundred lives I’d
be speaking different languages I’d be
living in different countries I would I
would try out a number of different
careers because I think there’s a lot of
unbelievably fascinating puzzling
complex things that you could study in
this world that’s just me and my
personality but that’s a personality
also that have cultivated over years
would you like that as a kid – well I
was involved in martial arts very early
and I think that is one of the things
that motivated me to explore difficult
tasks because through difficult tasks
you learn an incredible amount about
yourself and you through through the
fire of competition you get to
understand you get to understand
motivation you get to understand the
resistance that you have inside your
mind – doing hard work you get to
understand the rewards of discipline
like you don’t truly appreciate
relaxation unless you’ve worked hard and
that is the yin and the yang of life and
I’ve said this – to the point of people
getting sick of it but one of the worst
decisions a man can make I can only
speak for men obviously is to be
comfortable I don’t think you should try
to be comfortable I think what you
should try to do is try to earn comfort
and if you if you can get a day off
where you you you’ve worked hard and
you’ve accomplished goals that day off
will be so sweet when I work hard and I
sit in front of TV I enjoy the out
of it I put my feet up I have a nice
drink you know I enjoy my the mids your
back or something like you have one of
those are great I don’t use it that much
though honestly I’m more of a workaholic
than I should be probably if the balance
was I probably should relax more than I
do but I never feel like I earned it but
that’s not part of the reason why when I
do feel like I earned it I can enjoy it
it’s because I am more connected to the
idea that I need to accomplish things
and – and it’s not
for anybody else’s benefit other than my
own or anybody else’s approval other
than my own I just when I have a task
whether it’s today I’m gonna write a
thousand words you know or 2,000 or
whatever the number is if I don’t do
that
I know I’m not I write things down like
I’ll write down a list of things that
get accomplished that day and if I don’t
accomplish that I’ll get sick like it’ll
drive me crazy if I can’t fill out that
list that drives me nuts you know but
that’s what led me to be a
championship-level martial artist that’s
what led me to achieve it’s like that
it’s the reinforcement of those goals
like understanding that you can achieve
those goals it’s going to be difficult
you’re going to push through the
difficulty and then you’re gonna
understand what difficulty truly is and
how much of it is just mental how much
of it is just in your mind this
adversity to to difficult tasks or to
struggle you know and a lot of people
have that they’re scared they’re scared
of complications they’re scared of
failure failure is a big one that people
are afraid of but failure is one of the
most important things you could ever
have as far as like the motivation to do
things differently one of the reasons
why I think that I’m good at friendships
and relationships is because I’ve failed
at them in the past one of the things
that I’m good at comedies because I’ve
bombed on stage one of the reasons why
I’m good at work is because I’ve been a
worker in the past and I know the the
feeling of failure the feeling of of
shame of being like a weak non motivated
lazy person it’s a weak feeling it’s a
you don’t respect yourself you know and
I have this phrase that I use all the
time to people to try to motivate people
I say that be the hero in your own movie
pretend that if your life was a movie
and your life started now what would the
hero do what would the person that you
respected what would the person that you
admire person that inspires you what
would they do we’ll do that and if you
do that you slowly build momentum you
like today I did what I wanted to do
today I started a class in yoga I did
this I did all these things that I was
saying I wasn’t going to do and now I
feel momentum and momentum is a very
important point in people’s lives that’s
why some folks don’t like to take days
off because they feel like they’re
losing momentum and they sort of have to
reach
the wheel up again after a vacation you
know and there’s a lot of folks that
live life on a cushy cloud of
marshmallows and and then one
day something goes wrong and I mean
that’s why spoiled kids are so sad like
a spoiled young boy is one of the
saddest things ever a young boy that
becomes a man and can’t take care of
himself and his dad has to keep on
rescuing him his dad has to keep on
bailing them out of situations and
giving them money I’ve met guys like
that and that is a crippling affliction
when they don’t have the character
themselves to be able to get by in life
they constantly need someone to help
them and bail them out even as a grown
man I’ve met guys in their 40s that
still need help from their parents I’m
like what the man you’re never gonna get
it right because somewhere along the
line they didn’t face enough of the
adversity to realize that there’s
sometimes you just got to get up and get
done there’s sometimes we have to pull
yourself up and you have to push forward
even if you want to stay in bed and if
you don’t do that you just keep calling
on your daddy and your daddy keeps
rescuing you you never develop those
tools you never develop that ability to
recognize what you’re doing wrong with
your life anyone that has a goal and
they’re moving towards it they’re
successful most people think that you’re
successful if you have a lot of money
quite often you have a lot of money if
you’re successful but it isn’t I
wouldn’t say mother Teresa has a lot of
money okay huh but she’s a pretty
successful lady so it’s you so that
barrier tizzies well there’s that
there’s a couple of them okay I think
there’s two barriers one is our
conditioning the conditioning that takes
place in our subconscious mind from the
time were infants all we can do is act
and talk like the people around us
that’s why we learn their language we
learned that there was 10 languages
spoken in our home we learned 10
languages without any trouble there’s
usually one and that’s the only one we
ever learn and we grow older we think oh
I couldn’t learn another language we
could learn a hundred if we wanted to
you can do anything but I think we’re
conditioned we have a real strong
conditioning usually with not some very
good ideas and then that that’s the the
barrier that’s inside is the one that’s
outside of us is our environment we have
a tendency to act like everybody around
us and if you think about this it does
make a lot of sense because
if you study statistics 95% of the
people live their entire life and never
lived the way they want to live you know
that 95% of the population in this
country let’s say in North America okay
the richest continent in the history of
the world they’ll work productively
let’s say for 40 of their 65 years okay
and they’ll end up with her to be any
money there’s got to be something wrong
no my 5% of the people end up
financially comfortable or independent
are you trying to depress this bump
because that’s no actually I think it’s
I think it’s quite an exciting idea
because you see the idea behind it is
that anybody can win anyone at all but
if we start studying these statistics I
think we’ll arrive at the conclusion
geez I better start thinking for myself
rather than follow everybody most people
they get a job they look around to see
how everybody else is doing their work
and they start doing it the same way
they should stop and think I wonder if
any of these people know what they’re
doing is there a better way to do it but
don’t we have a need to fit in I mean we
don’t want it we don’t want to stand out
we don’t to get fired we don’t make
waves
exactly exactly just fall into line you
know take a number be like everybody
around now that’d be great in the animal
kingdom but human beings aren’t supposed
to live that way I think we should make
a few waves we should maybe stand out be
different not not for the sake of being
different okay but because we are
different we all think different
thoughts and I believe we should start
to think and build images in her mind of
what we’d like to do and then set out
and do it okay that person did that
Edison did that Marconi did that Samuel
Morse did that Minister fuller did
that we could go on and on and on okay
we’re different they stood out they made
a few waves you’re alone with your
thoughts you get an idea of what your
thoughts actually are if you live your
life just acting constantly on the
momentum of other people’s expectations
of you wanting to be liked by these
other people you can run into a trap
and you you you set up a life that you
didn’t really want you’re you’re you’re
you’re trapped in this situation where
you have a mortgage
you’ve got credit card bills you’ve got
student loans you have to pay you have a
bunch going on you have to continue to
feed and all that and especially if you
have a family and you have to feed them
my goodness then you’re fully locked in
you can’t take any chances whatsoever
and oftentimes people make the mistake
of getting stuck and it is just a
tactical mistake just like it would be a
mistake if you got stuck on a video game
just like it would be a mistake if you
followed a map incorrectly and you get
stuck in the woods your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
certainly some sort of a journey and we
have to all be aware that when we’re
making journeys we’re not going to
always make the right steps and
sometimes you have to back up and try
again and if you’re in a position where
you can’t back up and try again
you’ve trapped yourself and the system
will set out honey pots for people to
get trapped in the system will set out
the ideas of retirement the ideas of the
Golden Ears providing you benefits
providing you a healthy work environment
why well because they want people to
work for them they don’t want people to
realize their own dreams and escape in
the ass so you got to hire more people
and train them and they want to set it
up so that you stick around stick around
some sort of an unsatisfying world it’s
up to you to see that video game problem
to see that issue as it comes up on the
map known I think this is a right turn
to see all the problems that could
potentially lay in front of you and
calculate your your future and then also
look around all the people that didn’t
do it and look at the misery that
they’re in and learn that you don’t want
to be like them and then look at the
people that have kind of taken chances
and navigated their way what do they do
differently than you what what
objectivity do they have that maybe you
lack what insight into their own
mistakes are they willing to delve into
that you’re not that you step back and
go you know I don’t just don’t I just
don’t want to look at myself that
closely but the person who’s able to
look at themselves the closest it’s
gonna get the more rational results we
decide to stop loving me I’m not gonna
love myself any less I believe in me if
you stop believing in me I’m not gonna
believe in myself any less if you
believe that I’m irrelevant that no one
is checking for me and that I don’t mean
anything to the world because you think
or believe that about me
it doesn’t believe it doesn’t mean that
I’m gonna believe it about myself
see the day that you start living your
life according to everybody else’s
opinion is the beginning of the end most
of y’all and it’s up I see it every day
all day most of you guys don’t actually
know your self-worth you don’t know your
self value so you’re like a vulnerable
little child and you’re shaking and it’s
like everybody loves me this week so I
love me this week next week
it drops so now you’re running around
insecure feeling self-conscious and not
loving yourself sad and depressed
based on the feedback the responses and
the energy that the rest of the world is
giving you I wrote about this in my new
book which is coming it’s called black
rose it hasn’t been released yet but
it’s coming I talked about the fact that
Fame is an addiction fame is one of the
most unspoken addictions out there so
many celebrities and entertainers
athletes and public figures they base
their self-worth on their relevancy
based on everybody in the world checking
form and as soon as people stopped
checking form then they stopped checking
for they self y’all don’t love me no
more I’m not selling records I’m not
number one in the box office no more I’m
not making as much money as I used to
make oh ain’t nobody checking for me so
guess what I’m not checking for myself
no one sees the value in me anymore
so I don’t see the value of me anymore
every time I go on Twitter Facebook they
say I’m irrelevant
so I’m irrelevant to myself now I ain’t
because you think that I ain’t no one
loves me because you said no one loves
me I don’t love me
the day that you allow the opinions of
the outside world
to dictate the way you feel about
yourself it is the beginning of the end
of you living a blessed and self loving
secure life I can tell you all right now
that it is not the car that I Drive or
any de jure that I own or the size of my
house that defines my self-worth I’m hot
I’m hot I’m hot when you don’t think I’m
hot I’m amazing when you don’t think I’m
amazing I love me even if you stop
loving me you can say the nastiest
meanest evilish that you could have a
conjure up it will never change the way
I feel about myself I’m telling you
that’s the way I live my life that’s how
I feel about me
most of y’all are on Twitter you’re
desperate for likes you’re desperate for
the the the the egotistical feeding
frenzy feed my ego Fifi feed like me
like me because I don’t like me I’m
telling y’all right now the day that you
allow the opinions of everybody on the
outside world to define your day to day
month to month and year to year it’s the
beginning of the end
love yourself believe in yourself love
yourself believe in yourself independent
of the validation of the world have
opinions and feelings about yourself
independent of the feedback why you
gotta have somebody calling you
beautiful everyday in order for you to
feel beautiful do you believe that
you’re beautiful or do you only believe
you’re beautiful when other people say
that you’re beautiful
I’m just asking self-love is the cure to
self hate if you make it to the end of
this video I want you to write self-love
is the cure to self hate these are the
type of qualities that I’m going and
have been in stealing in my daughter
there is no man that you could ever meet
Shayla
that can make you feel more amazing than
what you’re supposed to feel about
yourself nobody wants to be alone but if
you show up empty as an empty shell and
you’re expecting this man to fulfill you
and fill you up with all a little of
that doesn’t exist you gonna be tough
because as soon as he leaves you
depleted you’re empty and you have
nothing left for yourself again never
rely or depend on anybody to fulfill
your heart and if you don’t believe in
the Lord Jesus Christ you better get to
know him because that’s also a part of
the process of self-love you are
supposed to love yourself independent of
any feedback comments likes shares in
any of all of these other social medias
some of y’all are social media whores
what does that mean I I ain’t
until people on my timeline tell me that
I’m just I love me independent of
anything that anybody could ever say has
nothing to do with being arrogant or
egotistical
it’s just a matter of knowing and being
aware of self-worth I love you if you
make it to the end of this video I want
you to write self love is the cure to
self hate self love is to cure to self
hate and I hope you share this video
because I want this video to spread all
over the world send it to
WorldStarHipHop send it to all of the
blogs and the websites self-love is the
cure to self hate shabana Tyreese
spreading love always share share share
click that share button should seek
failures see if you’re playing it safe
you’re not gonna win if you’re playing
it safe like that all say you know you
were topping your little girl better to
be safe than sorry well that’s a bunch
of crap it’s not better be safe than
sorry
it’s by trying things that you figure
out how far you can go you’ve got to get
outside the box like it’s reported
Edison tried 3000 ways before he built
the incandescent
he said he didn’t deal 3,000 times he
said there was 3,000 different steps to
building a light bulb well there’s
different steps to get to where you’re
going and I really do treat winning and
losing exactly the same I do not let it
upset me do you think that’s a big part
of why you’re so successful well it’s
part of why I enjoy it yeah I think it
is because I’ll try anything like if if
I’m into an idea the idea of losing
never enters my mind see I have worked
with giants I had the good fortune of
working with Sir Edmund Hillary he was
the first man to stand on top of the
world and I worked with him on three
different occasions and the only
difference in ed Hillary and Bob Proctor
is in his his size now he’s gone now but
he was a big man when he shook hands
with me his hand wrapped right around
mine I felt like Oh
dwarf you know and it talked into him
like it never entered his mind he
wouldn’t get to the top of the mountain
but he failed in 1951 he failed in 1952
it wasn’t until 1953 that he got to the
top of the mountain
no people had died for centuries trying
to do that he said I knew if I could see
it in here I got to hold it out here
still a man wrote that in the book he
could see it in your head you can hold
it in your hand and that’s right and if
you’re not prepared to lose you’re never
gonna win select the person who is
already doing something that you’d like
to do get to know that person go to the
experts for advice don’t ask the first
nextdoor your mother father brother the
guy who works beside you because they
don’t necessarily know there’s no point
in asking a person how to earn a lot of
money if they’re only earning ten
thousand a year they don’t know they
knew they’d probably be earning a lot
it’s like I don’t go to a sick doctor if
you want to get healthy okay so you find
someone that you can go to for advice
get a real good book and lock into that
book and start to study it like I’ve had
this one looks like a Bible you know
but this is Napoleon Hills book Think
and Grow Rich I’ve been reading this
thing now for 23 years I’ll probably
read it for another 23 years I get
another good book they’re brought over
here today it’s called the power of your
subconscious mind I’m not getting the
commission for selling this the author’s
dead now he’s been gone for a couple of
years but dr. Joseph Murphy wrote this
book the power of your subconscious mind
and that’s probably one of the best
books that you’re ever gonna find
because you’re gonna learn something
about your mind when you read this book
okay now I read a lot of books I’ve got
probably a thousand bucks sitting in my
den at home in my library
but the one that I care I carry it
everywhere I go and I read it all the
time just thinking grow rich I never
stop reading it where’s the value for
you to reread that read I mean you must
you must know it well enough that I
think I could probably recite it
verbatim but the secret is I once read
in a book where it said when you read a
good book through mm-hmm the second time
you don’t see something in it that you
didn’t see before you see something in
yourself that wasn’t there before you
see when I read this I created a greater
awareness they also have a saying that
most of our hearts cannot be affected by
the things that they’re unaware of they
there is a certain level of peace that
you have from being oblivious and
clueless about the reality of things
that are going on you know better but
you’re not doing better that’s the part
of this whole video that’s gonna make
you a little uncomfortable you know
better but you’re not doing better
here’s limitations with my career in my
marriage in my personal life
here are some here’s some dysfunction in
my career my personal life in my
surroundings and my friends I know
better but I’m so used to doing wrong
and being dysfunctional I know better
but I don’t want to do better or I know
better but I’m not willing to do better
you have decided to settle and you’re so
you are pissing everybody off at your
job if somebody gonna look at me treat
me and be disrespectful like you well
guess what Q is that really gonna help
you a career to grow with that type of
mentality when’s the last time you
brought your boss a basket and just said
with the amount of people that are
unemployed in this country sometimes I
can take having a job for granted being
able to pay my bills feed my kids pay my
mortgage or my rent my car note it’s
only because you have a job that you’re
able to survive most of us want more
than what we already have but the fact
that you do have and you’re being mean
you have an attitude everything about
what you’ve been doing is basically
self-sabotage you’re trying to it’s like
okay here’s a blessing here’s an
opportunity right here in front of me
i’ma get in I’m gonna use my charm to
get in the door and then imma become an
self-sabotage self-defeat here’s an
opportunity right here in front of me
things are going well things are
beautiful they like me they like me and
then something in your mind and then
your spirit says let me try and figure
out a way to this up because for some
reason in your mind you associate
dysfunction with success you know to do
self-sabotage self-defeat is real when
you show up late when you are out of
shape and your job requires you to be in
shape when you are not working as hard
as you know you can work on the job when
you are giving people attitude because
they’re giving you an attitude it’s like
a cycle of death it ain’t gonna stop
it’s like caddie little girlie and men
do the same caddy girlie just dumb ego
you know I’m saying home homeboy came
look he got out he got a problem with me
so I got a problem with it if your goal
is to work your way up the success
ladder if you’re gonna have a problem
with everybody who has a problem with
you do you think that that’s that’s
gonna help you to get to the top even
faster you know how many times I got a
laugh at it that ain’t funny you’re not
a town many times I got to go to dinners
and events in places and be around
people that I don’t quit at all I don’t
like them they’ve made it obvious that
they don’t like me but guess what if
it’s a game of survival we’re gonna get
from where we are to where we trying to
be your pride and your ego is out of
control your pride in your ego has been
killing your career growth your pride
and your ego
and your attitude has compromised the
altitude of your career
I’ll say it again your attitude has
compromised the altitude of your career
your could be on another level you know
better but you’re deciding to not do
better you are a lazy unprofessional
mean attitude having and yet when things
are not happening good for you when
things are not coming your way when
things are not happening is
as you want them to happen you blame
everybody else and what they’re doing
and saying and you completely disowned
everything that you’re doing to
contribute to your career not going to
another level you know better but you
don’t want to do better this is
but I’m telling y’all the truth
your boss needs a cigar or a personal
letter this week he does your boss needs
an invite to lunch or you need to tell
your boss imma treat you to lunch your
boss needs his ego stroked and he needs
to understand that you’re a new person
and from here on all of your co-workers
and everybody that is with you rather
they’re making more money than you or
less money than you everyone around you
can contribute to you climbing faster up
the success ladder when people who would
normally find themselves being jealous
and envious of you find themselves
saying I like him or I like her so much
I am now rooting for them to even bypass
me they’re just such a great person I
want them to receive whatever blessings
and opportunities there is for them to
receive but if you have a tough attitude
it is going to continue to compromise
the altitude of your career I refuse to
be aware of something I could be and
should be doing better and purposely
decide to not do it
I refuse that’s just like inviting broke
into your life that’s like inviting
homeless in your life that’s inviting no
gas money can’t pay your cell phone bill
that’s inviting who in your life to know
better and not do better it’s some of
the dumbest you could ever decide to do
for yourself then you sitting back
stressed-out and depressed wondering why
why ain’t things happening that’s the
answer I just gave it to you
it’s about as real as it gets
the question is what are you gonna do
next week two weeks from now you’re in
your own way you are the reason your
career is not on the next level nobody
else but you oh that’s uncomfortable
I’ll say it again you know better but
you’re not doing better and to know
better and not be willing to do better
your career isn’t gonna get any better I
want you to hug your coworker give them
energy and a conversation that they
don’t deserve and then guess what
they’ll start feeling like that they’re
giving you energy and you’re still
loving them and given them compassion
and energy that they may not deserve
that’s how you become recommended to
become the president or the vice
president or the senior executive or you
find yourself working your way up the
ranks you have your attitude has given
people scissors to cut your you off your
attitude and your host has given
people’s scissors to try and chop chop
you down and chop you out of
opportunities everybody wants to make
more money everybody wants a bigger
position everybody wants to move from
where they are to get to that next level
but your attitude has compromised your
altitude this is a long video but if you
I want you to write your attitude will
compromise the altitude of your career
as always I’m doing these videos because
I love you and I care for you and I want
you to start having a problem with where your life in your career is
realize that I’m getting out of one
story and stepping into another story as
I become aware of some things there’s
still some things I’m not aware of so I
still I’m still growing I’m still
developing I’m like the ladies that
Laura ate what a wannabe what I’m going
to be but thank God I sho ate what I was
but I realized that that you have to
work on yourself on a regular basis and
write this out for mental mindset for
mental mindset and stamina because
things are going to happen to you and
you could discover what your purpose is
there’s a difference determining
indicates deciding and I don’t think you
decide I think if you go about it the
right way you discover it like there’s
some people that should be painting all
day they’re great artists
I think Michelangelo was obviously a
great artist it’s great sculptor I mean
that was his purpose in his life
well I believe my purpose is doing what
I’m doing your purpose is why you get
out of bed in the morning do you know
why you get up well most people say well
it’s they’re gonna work well that’d be a
good reason to stay in bed you know you
say well everybody’s doing it
that’ll be another reason to stay in bed
if you’re ever doing what everybody’s
doing you’re probably going in the wrong
direction your purpose is your reason
for living what you want to do is sit
down and maybe take a pen and a pad and
then ask yourself what do I really love
doing now you may have to spend a while
at this you might get up an hour early
every morning and go sit under a tree
somewhere if you’re in a nice climate or
pick a favorite chair someplace where
you’re not going to be disturbed and
totally relaxed and say
if I could spend my life doing something
what do I really love doing now since
you don’t ask yourself that question
every day it might take a while for this
answer to come to the surface but it
comes to your consciousness and it may
take a while you may have to do this
every morning for three months but it
would be well invested the time most
people are not accumulating well most
people are living in poverty most people
are living far below their potential not
because they don’t have the capacity not
because they have not been given
authority and dominion over everything
on the face of the earth but most people
are living like they’re living because
of the fact that they don’t believe they
can have anymore than what they now have
and the book called a mis-education of
the negro dr. cottagey Woodson says if
you can determine what a man shall think
you’d never have to concern yourself
with what he will do if you can make a
man feel inferior you’d never have to
compel him to seek an imperious status
well he will seek it himself and if you
can make a man feel justly an outcast
you never have to order him to go to the
back door he’ll go without being told
and if there’s no door his very nature
will demand
that’s why scripture reminds us be not
conformed to this world but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind
so every day you have to sell yourself
and get out of your mind those old
thoughts that old belief system every
day you’ve got to sell yourself on that
it’s possible that you got to put a new
mind and you you got to get out of your
mind you got to begin to restructure
your thinking every day you’ve got to
begin to recondition your mind see many
of us go through life making choices
thinking it’s our choices and it’s not
anything that doesn’t work out any show
that I might not get any any show that I
might do that doesn’t turn out well gets
pulled off or something like that I
always think of as this is the way it
was supposed to be that’s the way it was
supposed to happen because there’s
something bigger down the road there’s
something better down the road and that
and this is happening because I’m not
ready or you know and it’s always
happened that way I mean the first time
I ever went to Yuk Yuk’s when I was 15
years old I went to Church Street the
old Yuk Yuk’s it was two lanes of a
bowling alley and I went there and and I
was not good it was all right I mean I
was you were 15 I was 15 I had a white
polyester suit on my mom put on if I
went down there with that and and got up
on stage and and I was doing all right
really but the owner of the club got on
the mic backstage and started going
totally boring and I wasn’t hip enough
for them so so I was pretty shattered
and I didn’t go back for two years and
then my father said when I was 17 I
started doing little shows here and
there again and he said why don’t you go
back to your kicks I said no way I don’t
want to go back there and he said well
you really you know you should get over
it
I mean if you if you’re gonna gonna go
into the business and you want to do it
seriously you can’t have those barriers
you know and and I went back and I did
great and I became a regular and a
headliner and and it built from there
and then when I went down to Los Angeles
the same thing happened I went to the
comedy star I did all right
but not good enough to become a regular
and I become totally discouraged the
comedy star I came back to Toronto like
everybody who doesn’t do well down there
comes back on hate Los Angeles it’s such
a crummy place no really
you can’t raise kids there and all that
stuff and comedy stories a rat race it’s
a rat race but then two years later
again my father he says to me well you
should try and get into the Comedy Store
and and my manager set up a showcase
there like I went in and I did well and
became a regular there and everything
has happened from there since it’s just
it’s been incredible and it always goes
in stages like that so I I accept the
fact that I fail you know because I know
that it’s that’s the way it’s supposed
to be you want to make your dream come
true you got to stay focused some people
rather get even than get ahead stay
focus on where you want to go I just
kept on doing what I was supposed to do
and so I was driving to the radio
station my opponent had over $20,000 I
had less than $800 as I was in the radio
station the guy said you’re gonna make a
commercial I said yes is there a better
bill good one because that money can’t
go pretty far here
and I sit there in the middle control
room and I was stinky and here’s what
happens when you get still stuff will
start coming something said call you
mama used to talk about your mother on
the air all the time ask her to say a
few words for you that’ll be a different
kind of political spa so I call my mama
and I had a gospel record playing in the
[Applause]
and then I had my mother say hello this
is mrs. Mamie Brown when I raised my
sons I raised them to be good children
when they got out of hand I beat them
behind and made them go right
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
usually in a state representative race
maybe three or four thousand people will
come out to vote in a primary and that
primary race over 27,000 people came out
and voted said I’m voting for Less
ladies and gentlemen
so you’ve got to be willing to say focus
to be creative to be relentless because
things are going to happen to you when
you’re working on your dream fascinated
by comedy I’m fascinated by many many
different things I don’t understand when
people say they’re bored because if I
had the time to live a hundred lives I’d
be speaking different languages I’d be
living in different countries I would I
would try out a number of different
careers because I think there’s a lot of
unbelievably fascinating puzzling
complex things that you could study in
this world that’s just me and my
personality but that’s a personality
also that have cultivated over years
would you like that as a kid – well I
was involved in martial arts very early
and I think that is one of the things
that motivated me to explore difficult
tasks because through difficult tasks
you learn an incredible amount about
yourself and you through through the
fire of competition you get to
understand you get to understand
motivation you get to understand the
resistance that you have inside your
mind – doing hard work you get to
understand the rewards of discipline
like you don’t truly appreciate
relaxation unless you’ve worked hard and
that is the yin and the yang of life and
I’ve said this – to the point of people
getting sick of it but one of the worst
decisions a man can make I can only
speak for men obviously is to be
comfortable I don’t think you should try
to be comfortable I think what you
should try to do is try to earn comfort
and if you if you can get a day off
where you you you’ve worked hard and
you’ve accomplished goals that day off
will be so sweet when I work hard and I
sit in front of TV I enjoy the out
of it I put my feet up I have a nice
drink you know I enjoy my the mids your
back or something like you have one of
those are great I don’t use it that much
though honestly I’m more of a workaholic
than I should be probably if the balance
was I probably should relax more than I
do but I never feel like I earned it but
that’s not part of the reason why when I
do feel like I earned it I can enjoy it
it’s because I am more connected to the
idea that I need to accomplish things
and – and it’s not
for anybody else’s benefit other than my
own or anybody else’s approval other
than my own I just when I have a task
whether it’s today I’m gonna write a
thousand words you know or 2,000 or
whatever the number is if I don’t do
that
I know I’m not I write things down like
I’ll write down a list of things that
get accomplished that day and if I don’t
accomplish that I’ll get sick like it’ll
drive me crazy if I can’t fill out that
list that drives me nuts you know but
that’s what led me to be a
championship-level martial artist that’s
what led me to achieve it’s like that
it’s the reinforcement of those goals
like understanding that you can achieve
those goals it’s going to be difficult
you’re going to push through the
difficulty and then you’re gonna
understand what difficulty truly is and
how much of it is just mental how much
of it is just in your mind this
adversity to to difficult tasks or to
struggle you know and a lot of people
have that they’re scared they’re scared
of complications they’re scared of
failure failure is a big one that people
are afraid of but failure is one of the
most important things you could ever
have as far as like the motivation to do
things differently one of the reasons
why I think that I’m good at friendships
and relationships is because I’ve failed
at them in the past one of the things
that I’m good at comedies because I’ve
bombed on stage one of the reasons why
I’m good at work is because I’ve been a
worker in the past and I know the the
feeling of failure the feeling of of
shame of being like a weak non motivated
lazy person it’s a weak feeling it’s a
you don’t respect yourself you know and
I have this phrase that I use all the
time to people to try to motivate people
I say that be the hero in your own movie
pretend that if your life was a movie
and your life started now what would the
hero do what would the person that you
respected what would the person that you
admire person that inspires you what
would they do we’ll do that and if you
do that you slowly build momentum you
like today I did what I wanted to do
today I started a class in yoga I did
this I did all these things that I was
saying I wasn’t going to do and now I
feel momentum and momentum is a very
important point in people’s lives that’s
why some folks don’t like to take days
off because they feel like they’re
losing momentum and they sort of have to
reach
the wheel up again after a vacation you
know and there’s a lot of folks that
live life on a cushy cloud of
marshmallows and and then one
day something goes wrong and I mean
that’s why spoiled kids are so sad like
a spoiled young boy is one of the
saddest things ever a young boy that
becomes a man and can’t take care of
himself and his dad has to keep on
rescuing him his dad has to keep on
bailing them out of situations and
giving them money I’ve met guys like
that and that is a crippling affliction
when they don’t have the character
themselves to be able to get by in life
they constantly need someone to help
them and bail them out even as a grown
man I’ve met guys in their 40s that
still need help from their parents I’m
like what the man you’re never gonna get
it right because somewhere along the
line they didn’t face enough of the
adversity to realize that there’s
sometimes you just got to get up and get
done there’s sometimes we have to pull
yourself up and you have to push forward
even if you want to stay in bed and if
you don’t do that you just keep calling
on your daddy and your daddy keeps
rescuing you you never develop those
tools you never develop that ability to
recognize what you’re doing wrong with
your life anyone that has a goal and
they’re moving towards it they’re
successful most people think that you’re
successful if you have a lot of money
quite often you have a lot of money if
you’re successful but it isn’t I
wouldn’t say mother Teresa has a lot of
money okay huh but she’s a pretty
successful lady so it’s you so that
barrier tizzies well there’s that
there’s a couple of them okay I think
there’s two barriers one is our
conditioning the conditioning that takes
place in our subconscious mind from the
time were infants all we can do is act
and talk like the people around us
that’s why we learn their language we
learned that there was 10 languages
spoken in our home we learned 10
languages without any trouble there’s
usually one and that’s the only one we
ever learn and we grow older we think oh
I couldn’t learn another language we
could learn a hundred if we wanted to
you can do anything but I think we’re
conditioned we have a real strong
conditioning usually with not some very
good ideas and then that that’s the the
barrier that’s inside is the one that’s
outside of us is our environment we have
a tendency to act like everybody around
us and if you think about this it does
make a lot of sense because
if you study statistics 95% of the
people live their entire life and never
lived the way they want to live you know
that 95% of the population in this
country let’s say in North America okay
the richest continent in the history of
the world they’ll work productively
let’s say for 40 of their 65 years okay
and they’ll end up with her to be any
money there’s got to be something wrong
no my 5% of the people end up
financially comfortable or independent
are you trying to depress this bump
because that’s no actually I think it’s
I think it’s quite an exciting idea
because you see the idea behind it is
that anybody can win anyone at all but
if we start studying these statistics I
think we’ll arrive at the conclusion
geez I better start thinking for myself
rather than follow everybody most people
they get a job they look around to see
how everybody else is doing their work
and they start doing it the same way
they should stop and think I wonder if
any of these people know what they’re
doing is there a better way to do it but
don’t we have a need to fit in I mean we
don’t want it we don’t want to stand out
we don’t to get fired we don’t make
waves
exactly exactly just fall into line you
know take a number be like everybody
around now that’d be great in the animal
kingdom but human beings aren’t supposed
to live that way I think we should make
a few waves we should maybe stand out be
different not not for the sake of being
different okay but because we are
different we all think different
thoughts and I believe we should start
to think and build images in her mind of
what we’d like to do and then set out
and do it okay that person did that
Edison did that Marconi did that Samuel
Morse did that Minister fuller did
that we could go on and on and on okay
we’re different they stood out they made
a few waves you’re alone with your
thoughts you get an idea of what your
thoughts actually are if you live your
life just acting constantly on the
momentum of other people’s expectations
of you wanting to be liked by these
other people you can run into a trap
and you you you set up a life that you
didn’t really want you’re you’re you’re
you’re trapped in this situation where
you have a mortgage
you’ve got credit card bills you’ve got
student loans you have to pay you have a
bunch going on you have to continue to
feed and all that and especially if you
have a family and you have to feed them
my goodness then you’re fully locked in
you can’t take any chances whatsoever
and oftentimes people make the mistake
of getting stuck and it is just a
tactical mistake just like it would be a
mistake if you got stuck on a video game
just like it would be a mistake if you
followed a map incorrectly and you get
stuck in the woods your life is
certainly some sort of a journey it’s
certainly some sort of a journey and we
have to all be aware that when we’re
making journeys we’re not going to
always make the right steps and
sometimes you have to back up and try
again and if you’re in a position where
you can’t back up and try again
you’ve trapped yourself and the system
will set out honey pots for people to
get trapped in the system will set out
the ideas of retirement the ideas of the
Golden Ears providing you benefits
providing you a healthy work environment
why well because they want people to
work for them they don’t want people to
realize their own dreams and escape in
the ass so you got to hire more people
and train them and they want to set it
up so that you stick around stick around
some sort of an unsatisfying world it’s
up to you to see that video game problem
to see that issue as it comes up on the
map known I think this is a right turn
to see all the problems that could
potentially lay in front of you and
calculate your your future and then also
look around all the people that didn’t
do it and look at the misery that
they’re in and learn that you don’t want
to be like them and then look at the
people that have kind of taken chances
and navigated their way what do they do
differently than you what what
objectivity do they have that maybe you
lack what insight into their own
mistakes are they willing to delve into
that you’re not that you step back and
go you know I don’t just don’t I just
don’t want to look at myself that
closely but the person who’s able to
look at themselves the closest it’s
gonna get the more rational results we
decide to stop loving me I’m not gonna
love myself any less I believe in me if
you stop believing in me I’m not gonna
believe in myself any less if you
believe that I’m irrelevant that no one
is checking for me and that I don’t mean
anything to the world because you think
or believe that about me
it doesn’t believe it doesn’t mean that
I’m gonna believe it about myself
see the day that you start living your
life according to everybody else’s
opinion is the beginning of the end most
of y’all and it’s up I see it every day
all day most of you guys don’t actually
know your self-worth you don’t know your
self value so you’re like a vulnerable
little child and you’re shaking and it’s
like everybody loves me this week so I
love me this week next week
it drops so now you’re running around
insecure feeling self-conscious and not
loving yourself sad and depressed
based on the feedback the responses and
the energy that the rest of the world is
giving you I wrote about this in my new
book which is coming it’s called black
rose it hasn’t been released yet but
it’s coming I talked about the fact that
Fame is an addiction fame is one of the
most unspoken addictions out there so
many celebrities and entertainers
athletes and public figures they base
their self-worth on their relevancy
based on everybody in the world checking
form and as soon as people stopped
checking form then they stopped checking
for they self y’all don’t love me no
more I’m not selling records I’m not
number one in the box office no more I’m
not making as much money as I used to
make oh ain’t nobody checking for me so
guess what I’m not checking for myself
no one sees the value in me anymore
so I don’t see the value of me anymore
every time I go on Twitter Facebook they
say I’m irrelevant
so I’m irrelevant to myself now I ain’t
because you think that I ain’t no one
loves me because you said no one loves
me I don’t love me
the day that you allow the opinions of
the outside world
to dictate the way you feel about
yourself it is the beginning of the end
of you living a blessed and self loving
secure life I can tell you all right now
that it is not the car that I Drive or
any de jure that I own or the size of my
house that defines my self-worth I’m hot
I’m hot I’m hot when you don’t think I’m
hot I’m amazing when you don’t think I’m
amazing I love me even if you stop
loving me you can say the nastiest
meanest evilish that you could have a
conjure up it will never change the way
I feel about myself I’m telling you
that’s the way I live my life that’s how
I feel about me
most of y’all are on Twitter you’re
desperate for likes you’re desperate for
the the the the egotistical feeding
frenzy feed my ego Fifi feed like me
like me because I don’t like me I’m
telling y’all right now the day that you
allow the opinions of everybody on the
outside world to define your day to day
month to month and year to year it’s the
beginning of the end
love yourself believe in yourself love
yourself believe in yourself independent
of the validation of the world have
opinions and feelings about yourself
independent of the feedback why you
gotta have somebody calling you
beautiful everyday in order for you to
feel beautiful do you believe that
you’re beautiful or do you only believe
you’re beautiful when other people say
that you’re beautiful
I’m just asking self-love is the cure to
self hate if you make it to the end of
this video I want you to write self-love
is the cure to self hate these are the
type of qualities that I’m going and
have been in stealing in my daughter
there is no man that you could ever meet
Shayla
that can make you feel more amazing than
what you’re supposed to feel about
yourself nobody wants to be alone but if
you show up empty as an empty shell and
you’re expecting this man to fulfill you
and fill you up with all a little of
that doesn’t exist you gonna be tough
because as soon as he leaves you
depleted you’re empty and you have
nothing left for yourself again never
rely or depend on anybody to fulfill
your heart and if you don’t believe in
the Lord Jesus Christ you better get to
know him because that’s also a part of
the process of self-love you are
supposed to love yourself independent of
any feedback comments likes shares in
any of all of these other social medias
some of y’all are social media whores
what does that mean I I ain’t
until people on my timeline tell me that
I’m just I love me independent of
anything that anybody could ever say has
nothing to do with being arrogant or
egotistical
it’s just a matter of knowing and being
aware of self-worth I love you if you
make it to the end of this video I want
you to write self love is the cure to
self hate self love is to cure to self
hate and I hope you share this video
because I want this video to spread all
over the world send it to
WorldStarHipHop send it to all of the
blogs and the websites self-love is the
cure to self hate shabana Tyreese
spreading love always share share share
click that share button should seek
failures see if you’re playing it safe
you’re not gonna win if you’re playing
it safe like that all say you know you
were topping your little girl better to
be safe than sorry well that’s a bunch
of crap it’s not better be safe than
sorry
it’s by trying things that you figure
out how far you can go you’ve got to get
outside the box like it’s reported
Edison tried 3000 ways before he built
the incandescent
he said he didn’t deal 3,000 times he
said there was 3,000 different steps to
building a light bulb well there’s
different steps to get to where you’re
going and I really do treat winning and
losing exactly the same I do not let it
upset me do you think that’s a big part
of why you’re so successful well it’s
part of why I enjoy it yeah I think it
is because I’ll try anything like if if
I’m into an idea the idea of losing
never enters my mind see I have worked
with giants I had the good fortune of
working with Sir Edmund Hillary he was
the first man to stand on top of the
world and I worked with him on three
different occasions and the only
difference in ed Hillary and Bob Proctor
is in his his size now he’s gone now but
he was a big man when he shook hands
with me his hand wrapped right around
mine I felt like Oh
dwarf you know and it talked into him
like it never entered his mind he
wouldn’t get to the top of the mountain
but he failed in 1951 he failed in 1952
it wasn’t until 1953 that he got to the
top of the mountain
no people had died for centuries trying
to do that he said I knew if I could see
it in here I got to hold it out here
still a man wrote that in the book he
could see it in your head you can hold
it in your hand and that’s right and if
you’re not prepared to lose you’re never
gonna win select the person who is
already doing something that you’d like
to do get to know that person go to the
experts for advice don’t ask the first
nextdoor your mother father brother the
guy who works beside you because they
don’t necessarily know there’s no point
in asking a person how to earn a lot of
money if they’re only earning ten
thousand a year they don’t know they
knew they’d probably be earning a lot
it’s like I don’t go to a sick doctor if
you want to get healthy okay so you find
someone that you can go to for advice
get a real good book and lock into that
book and start to study it like I’ve had
this one looks like a Bible you know
but this is Napoleon Hills book Think
and Grow Rich I’ve been reading this
thing now for 23 years I’ll probably
read it for another 23 years I get
another good book they’re brought over
here today it’s called the power of your
subconscious mind I’m not getting the
commission for selling this the author’s
dead now he’s been gone for a couple of
years but dr. Joseph Murphy wrote this
book the power of your subconscious mind
and that’s probably one of the best
books that you’re ever gonna find
because you’re gonna learn something
about your mind when you read this book
okay now I read a lot of books I’ve got
probably a thousand bucks sitting in my
den at home in my library
but the one that I care I carry it
everywhere I go and I read it all the
time just thinking grow rich I never
stop reading it where’s the value for
you to reread that read I mean you must
you must know it well enough that I
think I could probably recite it
verbatim but the secret is I once read
in a book where it said when you read a
good book through mm-hmm the second time
you don’t see something in it that you
didn’t see before you see something in
yourself that wasn’t there before you
see when I read this I created a greater
awareness they also have a saying that
most of our hearts cannot be affected by
the things that they’re unaware of they
there is a certain level of peace that
you have from being oblivious and
clueless about the reality of things
that are going on you know better but
you’re not doing better that’s the part
of this whole video that’s gonna make
you a little uncomfortable you know
better but you’re not doing better
here’s limitations with my career in my
marriage in my personal life
here are some here’s some dysfunction in
my career my personal life in my
surroundings and my friends I know
better but I’m so used to doing wrong
and being dysfunctional I know better
but I don’t want to do better or I know
better but I’m not willing to do better
you have decided to settle and you’re so
you are pissing everybody off at your
job if somebody gonna look at me treat
me and be disrespectful like you well
guess what Q is that really gonna help
you a career to grow with that type of
mentality when’s the last time you
brought your boss a basket and just said
with the amount of people that are
unemployed in this country sometimes I
can take having a job for granted being
able to pay my bills feed my kids pay my
mortgage or my rent my car note it’s
only because you have a job that you’re
able to survive most of us want more
than what we already have but the fact
that you do have and you’re being mean
you have an attitude everything about
what you’ve been doing is basically
self-sabotage you’re trying to it’s like
okay here’s a blessing here’s an
opportunity right here in front of me
i’ma get in I’m gonna use my charm to
get in the door and then imma become an
self-sabotage self-defeat here’s an
opportunity right here in front of me
things are going well things are
beautiful they like me they like me and
then something in your mind and then
your spirit says let me try and figure
out a way to this up because for some
reason in your mind you associate
dysfunction with success you know to do
self-sabotage self-defeat is real when
you show up late when you are out of
shape and your job requires you to be in
shape when you are not working as hard
as you know you can work on the job when
you are giving people attitude because
they’re giving you an attitude it’s like
a cycle of death it ain’t gonna stop
it’s like caddie little girlie and men
do the same caddy girlie just dumb ego
you know I’m saying home homeboy came
look he got out he got a problem with me
so I got a problem with it if your goal
is to work your way up the success
ladder if you’re gonna have a problem
with everybody who has a problem with
you do you think that that’s that’s
gonna help you to get to the top even
faster you know how many times I got a
laugh at it that ain’t funny you’re not
a town many times I got to go to dinners
and events in places and be around
people that I don’t quit at all I don’t
like them they’ve made it obvious that
they don’t like me but guess what if
it’s a game of survival we’re gonna get
from where we are to where we trying to
be your pride and your ego is out of
control your pride in your ego has been
killing your career growth your pride
and your ego
and your attitude has compromised the
altitude of your career
I’ll say it again your attitude has
compromised the altitude of your career
your could be on another level you know
better but you’re deciding to not do
better you are a lazy unprofessional
mean attitude having and yet when things
are not happening good for you when
things are not coming your way when
things are not happening is
as you want them to happen you blame
everybody else and what they’re doing
and saying and you completely disowned
everything that you’re doing to
contribute to your career not going to
another level you know better but you
don’t want to do better this is
but I’m telling y’all the truth
your boss needs a cigar or a personal
letter this week he does your boss needs
an invite to lunch or you need to tell
your boss imma treat you to lunch your
boss needs his ego stroked and he needs
to understand that you’re a new person
and from here on all of your co-workers
and everybody that is with you rather
they’re making more money than you or
less money than you everyone around you
can contribute to you climbing faster up
the success ladder when people who would
normally find themselves being jealous
and envious of you find themselves
saying I like him or I like her so much
I am now rooting for them to even bypass
me they’re just such a great person I
want them to receive whatever blessings
and opportunities there is for them to
receive but if you have a tough attitude
it is going to continue to compromise
the altitude of your career I refuse to
be aware of something I could be and
should be doing better and purposely
decide to not do it
I refuse that’s just like inviting broke
into your life that’s like inviting
homeless in your life that’s inviting no
gas money can’t pay your cell phone bill
that’s inviting who in your life to know
better and not do better it’s some of
the dumbest you could ever decide to do
for yourself then you sitting back
stressed-out and depressed wondering why
why ain’t things happening that’s the
answer I just gave it to you
it’s about as real as it gets
the question is what are you gonna do
next week two weeks from now you’re in
your own way you are the reason your
career is not on the next level nobody
else but you oh that’s uncomfortable
I’ll say it again you know better but
you’re not doing better and to know
better and not be willing to do better
your career isn’t gonna get any better I
want you to hug your coworker give them
energy and a conversation that they
don’t deserve and then guess what
they’ll start feeling like that they’re
giving you energy and you’re still
loving them and given them compassion
and energy that they may not deserve
that’s how you become recommended to
become the president or the vice
president or the senior executive or you
find yourself working your way up the
ranks you have your attitude has given
people scissors to cut your you off your
attitude and your host has given
people’s scissors to try and chop chop
you down and chop you out of
opportunities everybody wants to make
more money everybody wants a bigger
position everybody wants to move from
where they are to get to that next level
but your attitude has compromised your
altitude this is a long video but if you
I want you to write your attitude will
compromise the altitude of your career
as always I’m doing these videos because
I love you and I care for you and I want
you to start having a problem with where your life in your career is
