Eric Thomas – WHEN LIFE GETS HARDER (Eric Thomas Motivation)
Mayweather never left his father even
though he that he wanted to leave even
though he couldn’t stand his father and
began to be in need
anytime you leave and leave God at some
point in your life you’re gonna be a
need might take a year might take two
years it may take five but at some point
when you leave god you’re gonna be a
neat again why cuz you left the source
so do me a favor some of y’all in this
room you left daddy you need to come
back home unless you told me the reason
why I’m telling you to come home is
because you left daddy and you ain’t no
better off when you that you’d left
ain’t nothing happen in your life that’s
going that should keep you from coming
back to the home other than somebody
being real with you and telling you get
your butt back home so there’s a group
that you weren’t Church you work and you
left God cause you wasn’t feeling it you
wasn’t filling the trailer
you wasn’t feeling a trainer you weren’t
feeling of the regimen he put you
through you weren’t fulfilling the
process you wasn’t feeling how he did it
but let’s be real how he did it works it
works the stuff I hear at three o’clock
and where daddy tell me to do sometimes
it don’t make sense but it does not have
to make sense he’s out for an Omega you
don’t always have to agree with your
parents or God but God knows best and
your mama who wound you came out no more
than suddenly thirteen year all you
listening to you a fool to go to work in
ten minutes and not spend an hour two
hours of God you a fool of you instead
connect deep in the flesh in the
Cardinal you ain’t always got to like
what your mama saying your dad and say
but trust me don’t nobody love you and
care for you like they do and don’t
nobody love you like oz the source is
not your job
the source is not your man the source is
not your degree the source that’s why I
don’t really do that dr. Thomas stuff I
ain’t trying to not be you know I ain’t
trying to feed I’m like I just want to
be careful cuz I’m your doctor I’m like
I’m mad if that’s what God told you to
say I’m just not trying to take God’s
credit like a god been blessing you all
this time and I some people say doctor
like he made it oh I made it before I
made it when God said I made it
I’ve made it alone I’ve made it with the
GED I had made it I’ve made it when I
was homeless I made it why cuz God said
you are a son you my child
you ain’t gonna do nothing else you
ain’t gonna get a degree you ain’t got
to do nothing you tell you my sir cuz
you my son and I’m just gonna bless you
because the rain falls on the just as
well the injure you ain’t got a dude
none for me to love you
you ain’t gotta do nothing for me to
hook you up you my daughter you enough
you are now that’s why you dancing for
me because you don’t know you enough
without a man you enough if you never
get married you enough if you never pass
that law degree you enough if you never
become a doctor you enough if you never
get married you enough if you never have
a child you are enough like you are and
that’s why God created you you are
enough and God’s sake come on home so I
can take care of you you got these
no-good Negroes take out let me take
care
you weren’t by some job they killing you
and you go into that job like you were
slaying God say let me take care of you
I gave you a gift your gift will make
room for you how can you a gift
you ain’t gotta run up behind them
if people laugh when you tell them your
dreams if you’ve ever been solo you felt
like you wanted to scream if you’ve ever
been doubting your quest to achieve if
the non-believers voices were so loud
you almost started to believe that they
were right ha
this is the moment that I remind you
that they are never right because you
were born to be a beacon of light you
were born to overcome any fear or any
fright you were born to have next level
vision and not just sight you were born
with the heart will and passion to never
give up and fight and fight and fight if
they say there’s no way make it never
ask for permission to be great you take
it
greatness is yours the claim
you just got to stake it when they try
to lock you up with a mental chain you
break it
[Music]
it’s time to go harder harder after your
dreams harder after your goals harder
after you those benchmarks whatever
you’re trying to do whatever you’re
trying to reach whatever you’re trying
to overcome you need to find out who’s
in the boat with you
those friends those family members and
those loved ones because they may be in
the boat with you but you need to make
sure they are paddling the same way a
lot of individuals call someone a friend
but a friend does it paddle the wrong
way if you are in the boat with someone
paddling the other way then your going
then you two are just going in a circle
you’re not getting it
[Music]
never settle for mediocre or average
think big outside the box shoot for
Mecca even better yet go Atlantic
will they think you’re about to throw in
the towel use it to wipe the sweat off
your face look them dead in the eye and
smile because they underestimated your
heart and they didn’t think you had the
resiliency to go that extra mile but you
do if you fall down 2051 times you get
back up 2052 because you’re rare like
that rose they grow in concrete
when they say you can’t do it prove I’m
wrong and do it anyway believe in
something believing you and never forget
you were born to be spectacular it’s in
your DNA you got this
[Music]
[Music]
there is no progress there’s no effort
in reaching or achieving a goal we all
have dreams that we want to achieve but
we need those people in our life who are
stretching us who are pushing us who are
expecting greatness out of us I’ve never
seen a sleeping wolf achieve anything if
you’re not going after your dreams if
you’re not going after your goals if
you’re not taking a step forward and
this year put action into the things you
say put actions into the things you want
to be show me show me how great you will
be show me how much hard work you’ll put
in show me push yourself like you’ve
never pushed yourself before no one is
going to pat you on the back when you
fall you have to get up yourself and
push some more they’re kids depending on
you here’s the family depending on you
there’s your team depending on you
each and every moment that you breathe
is another opportunity for you to be
great your window of opportunity is
closing you’ve been through too much
they’ve told you no now it’s time to get
a yes yes to go after your dreams yes to
be able to do whatever you want to do
you deserve options you deserve the best
you deserve to be called great you
deserve to overcome this
