confused uncertain of the future hurting
this is not the time to back offer to
[Music]
get up and change your life improve it
[Music]
or do you have something better to do
[Music]
you’ll have one chance to become who and
use your problems to motivate yourself
ask yourself do you want to stay where
you are right now for the rest of your
life or do you want to live the life of
your dreams if you want something out of
life if you want to change yourself if
you want to acquire something if there’s
some goal that you want to reach that is
really not easy as some people will make
us feel that living your dreams changing
your behaviors overcoming negative
habits it’s challenging it’s hard but
living alone is just very difficult and
once we begin to come to grips with the
fact that living is difficult as Henry
Ford said when everything seems to be
going against you remember that the
airplane takes off against the wind not
with it the reason this is so important
to understand is that inevitably there
are gonna be times in your life where it
literally seems like the world is coming
after you and in those moments if rather
than panic if rather than letting your
mind run away from you rather than
getting bitter or angry or frustrated if
you remember in those times that forcing
yourself to push through it forcing
yourself to find the opportunity forcing
yourself to find the lesson in that is
going to be the very thing that gives
you lift it’s actually constraints it’s
having restrictions it’s having
difficult times those are the things
that allow people to really find and tap
into the thing that’s going to allow
them to achieve what they want to
achieve because it’s going to push you
and I know that’s never fun that’s not
what anybody wants to hear but the
reality is if you want to achieve
something great in your life you’ve got
to be going into the hard places you’ve
got to be facing down the difficult
things you’ve got to be going down that
road that is intrinsically difficult
it’s untamed it’s wild and
that in that sense that it’s coming
after you in that sense that you’ve
entered truly hostile territory in that
is the very thing that’s going to lift
you up and allow you to do what other
people haven’t done that’s exactly why
the terrain seems hostile that’s exactly
why it seems like things are crashing
down around me because you ventured into
the unknown but it’s only in the unknown
that you’re going to be able to find
yourself it’s only in the unknown that
you’re going to be able to accomplish
something that other people think is
impossible because they only think it’s
impossible because no one’s ever done it
and as Tullius Cicero said whatever you
do do with all your might so as you go
into this wilderness of the untamed as
you venture into this dangerous
territory go like a bat out of hell go
like you’ve got something to prove go
with the chip on your shoulder go
knowing that you’re going to face danger
go knowing that you’re going to have to
stand up for yourself and you’re gonna
have to fight for what you believe go
knowing that you’ve got to get stronger
go knowing that right now you’re not the
person you need to be in order to be
successful go now knowing that failure
is guaranteed go now knowing that in
that failure you will learn
you need and by being willing to face
that failure and being willing to learn
from that and putting all of your energy
into getting better and to take you
responsibility into focusing who you
want to become in looking at only where
you want to go in doing that you get the
lift that you need in order to soar
above what everybody else is willing to
do but you’ve got to do it with
everything you’ve got
anything less is guaranteed
you
