you’re ready to wake up you’re gonna
wake up and if you’re not ready you’re
gonna stay pretending that you’re just a
little poor little me I’m asking the
bigger question
of Who am I Who am I really
it’s what’s happening right now inside
everybody is there going who am I I’m
not what I think I am I know what you
think I am I am what I think you think I
am knowing who you are being able to
answer this question Who am I and what
do I want no one who we are is hard it’s
hard first step that leads to our
identity in life I Know Who I am not
process of elimination defining
ourselves by what we are not is the
first step that leads us to really know
and who we are
eliminate who you are not first and
you’re gonna find yourself where you
your life journey is about learning to
become more of who you are and
fulfilling the highest truest expression
of yourself as a human being you must
have some kind of vision for your life
even if you don’t know the plan you have
to have a direction in which you choose
to go what burns in your heart is
important for you to pay attention to
because it never goes away if you wake
up pursuing your math you’re gonna have
a rough life that’s why people wake up
in a rut they life has no purpose no
meaning they they’re not morning people
you I’m just not a morning person you’re
not a morning person because you you’re
not living in your purpose see you hate
waking up cause you waking up and you’ll
know the reason you waking up and you
all have no design in mind you want to
be in the driver’s seat of your own life
because if you’re not life will drive
you knowing who you really are in this
space and time that we embodied you must
find a way to serve Martin Luther King
said that not everybody can be famous
but everybody can be great because
greatness is determined by service the
real truth is that service and
significance service and the
significance that you bring to your
service is that which is lasting when
you shift the paradigm of whatever it is
you choose to do to service and you
bring significance to that success will
I promise you follow you service and
significance equals success
put your honour where your mouth is
when you give your word keep it do the
work get your hands dirty and then
you’ll begin to draw strength from the
understanding the true knowing that
history is still being written you’re
writing it every day the wheels still in
spin and what you do or what you don’t
do will be a part of it you build a
legacy not from one thing but from
everything you have no idea what your
legacy will be because your legacy is
every life you touch pick a problem any
problem and do something about it
because to somebody who’s hurting
something is everything eat a good
breakfast it really pays off pay your
bills on time
recycle make your bed aim high say thank
you to people and actually really mean
it ask for help when you need it and put
your phone away at the dinner table be
nicer little kids be nice to your elders
be nice to animals and know that it’s
better to be interested than interesting
and if you’re fighting with someone you
really love for God’s sakes find your
way back to them because life is short
even on our longest days your job is not
always going to fulfill you there will
be some days that you just might be
bored other days you may not feel like
going to work at all go anyway and
remember that your job is not who you
are it’s just what you’re doing on the
way
to who you will become look for the
lessons because the lessons are always
there and the number one lesson I can
offer you where your work is concerned
as this becomes so skilled so vigilant
so flat-out fantastic at what you do
that your talent cannot be dismissed
this will save you stop comparing
yourself to other people you’re only on
this planet to be you not someone else’s
imitation of you your life journey is
about learning to become more of who you
are and fulfilling the highest truest
expression of yourself as a human being
that’s why you’re here I’ve discovered
one thing about life life does not give
us what we need life almost always gives
us what we deserve and if we want to
deserve more we have to become more
valuable
someone defines value by simply the size
of problems that you’re capable of
solving so they’re two pains in life you
and I are going to suffer from like it
or not
one is the pain of discipline one is the
I believe that performers always focus
on results
I believe that non-performers always
excellence is a habit that you acquire
through training and habituation it
can’t be excellent Monday Wednesday and
Friday and take Tuesday Thursday and
Saturday off that would make any sense
do either an excellent person or you’re
an ordinary person Elbert Hubbard once
said one machine can do the work of 50
ordinary people but he said no machine
no no no machine could ever do the work
until you have found something you’re
willing to die for you’re not fit to
live and one of the key things you want
to do is simply remember this few things
are as powerful for you to win in your
own unique way as staying in the game
staying with your purpose
stay with your goal longer than the
world thinks it’s sane for you to keep
on pursuing your dream separating
yourself from the masses the fact is is
that most people are afraid of change
the masses are afraid of change I am not
advocating change for the sake of change
very often change there’s not a no
improvement but improvement is always
the result of change so where does that
confidence I’m talking about comes from
if for the confident change leads to
opportunity where does one get this
confidence what I believe ladies and
gentlemen that the only place confidence
can come from is competence when you’ve
got your knowledge when you’ve got your
skill when you’ve got your experience
all merging together congruently
and InFocus the result there is
competence we say in these ever-changing
times it is the survival of the most
competent
we have no choice you and I but to be
competent the older I get the more I
recognize they’re happiest people the
most successful people just have great
attitudes they just get up in the
morning feeling good about life get up
in the morning singing praises that they
are alive that they can walk and talk
because they are professionally engaged
that they have friends and they have a
brain and they can apply all of that for
the common good there’s actually data
that shows that people with passion and
dreams live seven to ten years longer
you can add a decade of years to your
life and there’s a medical term for this
it’s called apoptosis apoptosis is when
your brain believes you’ve outgrown your
usefulness which can happen at any age
we see it most often when people retire
and get laid off experience an empty
nest and when you stop dreaming the
brain sends a message to the body that
it’s no longer needed and people start
to mentally or physically self-destruct
genuine personal power is the ability to
consciously choose one’s own aims one’s
own attitude one owns actions that’s
true power when I can choose and no
matter the chaos I can choose a positive
attitude no matter the cost I can choose
what I want the matter of the situation
I can choose my next action that’s
personal power the ability to will
yourself into thinking feeling or doing
something that’s real personal power and
when you can do it with a positive been
towards humans towards others then you’re a leader
