I never knew how to turn things around
you show me your crowd I’ll show you
your future it’s simple right it’s three
type of people you need in your life you
need to inspire the excited and the
grateful every one of them you will need
for the rest of your life but you’re
your biggest your biggest distraction is
tell me what your foundation is where do
where do you go when you need these you
don’t know what to do do you know what
to do but the people you’re around ain’t
doing what you supposed to be doing I’m
begging you man I’m begging you from a
man’s money let go let go let go of
these people who you know aren’t for you
you know better but you’re not doing
better make a choice like you just
decide what is it about you about what
it is that you provide that will make
you stand out from the competition think
about yourself think about your goals
think about your dreams being in a great
house does not make you great it’s one
thing to have great parents but that
doesn’t make you great it’s one thing to
work for a great company corporation
that’s great but that doesn’t mean
you’re great because you’re in that
great house or that great corporation or
that great church or that great family
that you remember on your either adding
to the greatness of that family or
you’re diminishing it
and they said it’s possible to be in a
great house but you not be great you not
be gold you not even be silver you not
be brass you just be dirt or clay a lot
of people think that wealth makes you
great but it’s a lot of wealthy people
who are not great people on the other
hand poverty is equated into greatness
and a lot of people that that if they
have nothing they must be great
you’re not greatness you’re greatness is
not based upon your income there are
some people who are good at doing but
they’re not good at being greatness will
cost you something not somebody else
it’ll cost you something it’s going to
cost you some time it’s going to cost
you some energy it’s going to cost you
some resources it’s going to cost you
some hours of your life
laying down paying the price going the
extra mile doing what other people are
not willing to do greatness is not cheap
greatness always cost more that’s why
there’s not many people who achieve
greatness
they’re not willing to pay the price
greatness is not immediate
in other words greatness takes time to
develop you can’t just run in your room
and come out great
greatness is not immediate you got to
stay with it you got to stay at it you
got to keep working on him we give up
too quickly greatness is not common
[Music]
greatness does not have to have the
approval of everyone and if you are the
kind of person that will have to have
the approval of everyone in
understanding of everyone you’ll never
achieve greatness greatness is uncommon
you cannot have the approval of everyone
and be great and the sooner you
understand that the sooner you’ll do
great in life you’re always going to
live your life at the lowest common
denominator of your friends if you don’t
watch it you can’t believe one way and
live another way and be great
greatness is living what you believe and
living up to your potential
[Music]
usually you will not discover greatness
in a person until they go through
hardship it’s the hardship the crisis
that brings greatness out of people
there’s something inside an internal
reservoir that won’t lie down and stay
down and whine and call their most three
defeated friends and have a pity party
but there’s something about a person
that when the when the waters get
troubled and all hell’s breaking loose
greatness will step up to the project
sometimes that will set you back in
fifteen years or you can listen to that
advice and it can catapult you to a
place of greater but you must be
teachable to be great
[Music]
you never come to a place that you see
some learning great people never stop
learning people who are very skilled at
what they do they still want to learn
how do I get better how do I get that
one of the qualities of greatness is
it’s always wanting to get better
wanting to learn more wanting those
people who are not good are not open to
instruction to be great you have to be
able to receive correction you have to
be able to be told you’re not doing this
right and you have to be able to be told
that with a good attitude keep a good
attitude we want to be in the world who
you want to be not what do you want to
do not what do you want to achieve who
do you want to be what is the kind of
person when they’re reading your eulogy
what do you want the words to be said
about the kind of person you have been
in the world do you know the answer to
that question do you know the answer to
that question I’m asking that of
everybody do you know what that is
[Music]
there are a lot of negative people in
your life don’t look at them look at the
energy that you are creating to attract
them don’t look at them look at yourself
what are you doing to draw those people
because if you are surrounded by
negative people there’s a part of you
that’s willing to tolerate that I’m
telling you the negative energy will
change and when you become that force
for yourself you won’t allow it I don’t
care what their title or role is in your
life you just really won’t you what you
just really want sometimes you have to
divorce your friend and divorce your
family members
[Music]
and if you handle them with love in
doing it they will come back you will
have an opportunity to reconcile I speak
from what I know but I’ve had family
members for whom I’ve said I will not
allow you to treat me this way no matter
where you are in the world right now
close your eyes and he would live as I’m
going to do for you different objects
and I want you to allow those objects to
appear before your mind and then let
them go as I call out the objects okay a
full moon an oak tree by the bank of a
river
a red triangle
[Music]
now open your eyes
what did you learn from that experience
the observer of the red triangle the
full moon the tree by the river is the
same observer who observes all the
thoughts that come in and out of your
head all day long and just like your lap
you could let the red triangle and the
full moon come in and out of your mind
you have the same control over all the
thoughts that are jamming you up all day
long as Ernest Hemingway noted the world
breaks everyone and afterward many are
stronger in the broken places but my
question is why isn’t everyone to me it
comes down to the strategies that you
use there really isn’t anything
objectively good or bad there isn’t
anything that happens to you that can’t
be overcome there isn’t anything that
could happen to you
anything that when you turn inward you
can’t find a reason to overcome you
can’t find a way to put those pieces
back together and that becomes your job
it becomes literally up to you whether
you’re going to sit and wallow and woe
is me because what happened happened and
there’s no way to take it back but how
you respond what you bring to that table
whether you need fire with fire whether
you need that adversity with falling
apart becoming weaker in the areas that
broke or you bind them and mend them and
it comes like a well that literally
makes you stronger is a choice
and it’s a choice only you get to make
but as Stephen Hawking said when you
complain nobody wants to help you there
are many things in your life you’ve
every reason to complain about you have
every reason to be upset by the things
that have happened to you the most
sinister thing about excuses is there
valid there’s a million reasons why you
should be able to give up there’s a
million reasons why you shouldn’t need
to try that thing that broke you you
should be allowed to just sit on the
ground and here’s the thing that’s
you’re right you’ve every reason to do
it and maybe people won’t even think
less of you but here’s the truth why
they become weaker stronger in the
places that broke and that’s a choice of
how you react moving forward the great
news is the best thing that you could do
to become stronger is love yourself and
it’s kamal ravi khan said loving
yourself is a practice people think that
it’s something that’s going to feel
right that it’s going to feel natural
that you’re just going to turn inward
and there it is the spark of love and
joy for yourself inside yourself and the
truth is that’s just not the human
experience that’s not the way that it
works there’s going to be a voice inside
your head and it’s going to blame you
it’s going to say that it’s your fault
and no matter how many times people on
the outside tell you that that is not
true that this thing happened to you
that it isn’t you it doesn’t define you
there will be a voice that’s going to
tell you that it does and that’s where
you have to fall back on process that’s
where you have to realize that you
literally have to practice loving
yourself and that it’s okay that no
matter what happened there is absolutely
nothing that invalidates that you’re
worthy of your own love
but you’ve got to practice it you’ve got
to be willing to do it you’ve got to be
willing to put in the reps you’ve got to
know that it’s not going to feel right
but you’ve got to know on the other side
of that is a vision of your life where
you actually do love yourself because
you took the time to say it you took the
time to practice it you took the time to
sit there and feel stupid and say that
you love yourself and sometimes just
putting in the work is what you need to
do to get strong so put in the work
[Music]
