GOING THROUGH TOUGH TIMES – 2020 Motivational Speech
life is hard it’s hard when when you are
49 years old been working on a job for
17 years and they come in and tell you
your finish and give you one week
severance pay and you got to start all
over again
it’s hard when you’re married and
raising children and your children are
crawling and your husband dies
unexpectedly it’s not handling just the
tragedies of life it’s hard when you’re
working on something in and you put
everything you have in it and it doesn’t
work out you lose your money and other
people’s money it’s hard it was rough
when I lost my job
and I could not find a job it was
humiliating and embarrassing borrowing
money and then I couldn’t pay the money
back when I told them I would that’s
rough
how people look at you how they respond
to you million here’s what I discovered
that happens to you in life that you
will go through things and while you’re
going through them you can’t understand
why it’s happening to you but after you
go through it you get back and you look
at it and you say oh now I understand
why I needed that lesson have you ever
happened to you in the head you’ve never
happened to you but that I think I
couldn’t understand it there but after I
got through it
then I saw that that was preparing me
for bigger and better things as you’ll
go through the challenges of life and
you look at it and embrace whatever
comes to you don’t run from it step
toward it don’t try and duck it like
most people do see most people want it
easy see easy come easy one easy go see
but when you go at what you’re going to
deal with and you deal with the
difficulties of it when you handle those
hard things close at hand making those
hard decisions right now that you don’t
want to make learning those things that
you don’t like to do but you know that
in order for you to get where you want
to go this is one of the hoops that you
have to flip through and I’m saying to
you whatever you got to do do it because
if you don’t life is gonna whoop you
until you surrender and say okay all
right all right all right all right
cooperate okay I’ll learn okay said wear
me out a long time so if it’s hard and
do it hard now what are you how do you
hang in there during the hard difficult
times less you must have faith you’ve
got to believe in yourself
you’ve got to believe in your abilities
you got to believe in your service your
company your ideas unquestionably you
got to have faith and that faith gives
you patience then it’s not going to
happen as quickly as you want it to
happen a lot of things are gonna happen
that will catch you off guard and so
therefore you’ve got to deal with and
handle it as it comes and not only that
but that faith and patience drives you
into action you’ve got to keep moving
and keep plugging away and the Far East
they have something that’s called the
Chinese bamboo tree the Chinese bamboo
tree takes five years to grow they have
to water and fertilize the ground where
it is every day and it doesn’t break
through the ground until the fifth year
but once it breaks through the ground
within five weeks
it grows 90 feet tall
now the question is does it grow 19 feet
tall in five weeks or five years the
answers obvious
it grows 19 feet tall in five years
because at any time that person stopped
watering and nurturing and fertilizing
that dream that bamboo tree would have
died in the ground I can see people
coming out talking to a guy out there
watering and fertilizing the ground
that’s not showing anything hey what you
doing
even I did a long time there and the
conversation in the neighborhood is you
go on a Chinese bamboo tree that right
yeah that’s right
well even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder
can see a nun shower
you know that’s not people gonna do you
so how long you been working on this how
long have you been working on your dream
ski and you have nothing to show this is
all you got to show people don’t do that
to you and some people ladies and
gentlemen they stop because they don’t
see instant results it doesn’t happen
quickly they stop oh no no you got to
keep on watering your dream and when it
began to happen they stopped laughing
they said look whoa look at it man I
know you can do it looking good you got
a job here
seek to join those hard times we know
how you’re gonna make payroll doing
those times when you fail and and and
things didn’t work out they were there
were nowhere to be found but know what I
discovered when you working at your
dream somebody said the heart of the
battle the sweeter the victory always
sweet to you it’s good to you I see when
you win it’s hardness of struggle see
what you become in the process is more
important in the dream that’s far more
important the kind of person you become
the character that you build the courage
that you develop the faith that you’re
manifesting oh it’s it’s something that
you get up in the morning you look
yourself in the mirror
you’re a different kind of person you
walk with a different kind of spirit
people know that you know what life is
that you have embraced life univers hard
but you did it hard
