I WILL MAKE IT – Powerful Motivational Speech Video (Featuring Nathan Harmon)
our circumstances your current
surroundings never have to dictate who
you are you’re not what your
surroundings are you are what you do and
this is the fact of the matter normal
regular people just like you and me can
do extraordinary things and it’s not
about the glitz and the glamour and the
shine it’s not about what we have it’s
about our heart man
it’s about people you and me
understanding that we are fully capable
we have the full potential
to achieve and become anything that
anybody else is and the only person
that’s gonna stop us and the only person
that’s gonna rob us as when we look in
the mirror and we compromise us too
often we as young men only on women and
I was so guilty of this we only care
about the now and we will viciously move
that and what feels good here and what
feels good now and we will compromise
who we are because we want the
acceptance of the people around us
[Music]
and that’s just real
I don’t pursue profits I pursue my
purpose
as you go on to the next chapter don’t
pursue profits pursue purpose don’t
pursue the profits of where can you gain
things in life to suit your passions and
your purpose because what happens is a
lot of times we go on to college or we
go into the next chapter and we’re only
seeking games we’re only trying to find
out what we can get what we find profits
in our lives you need to take time to
figure out your why you’re gonna take
time to figure out what you’re
passionate about because if you pursue
your passion I promise passion and
purpose will always produce gains and
profits socially emotionally and
financially men you can show me your
friends and I can tell you who you are
who you surround yourself with is it
going to affect you like it love it or
leave it if you’re surrounding yourself
with people or are not about to write
you are trying to pursue dreams and
goals and the same aspirations and the
same motivations and dedication and
determination that is you you will be
affected whom you surround yourself with
matters it’s the compromise that I care
about we don’t ever have to compromise
her so I promise you from the front the
back the left to the right every single
one of you in here man
you were born to leave your fingerprints
on history you can achieve and become
absolutely anything I need teachers and
doctors and actors and athletes and
entertainers a musician and radios and
cardiologists and cosmetologist social
workers I’m telling you anything that
you want and not a teacher a counselor a
principal nobody can stop you I know
your circumstances aren’t the best and
there sometimes are home environments
not the best but this is what I know
we’re in control of our lives and nobody
can take it from you
I live with these three principles and I
promise you man they will change
everything about who you are
hard work works make good choices and
value people I decided ten years ago
literally when this all happened
and I went to prison I wanted to be I
was like you know what I want to make
this promise I want to keep it to this
family I come from a lot of brokenness I
don’t know where to start but what I do
know is the importance of the choices
that I make and so literally I wrote the
word change the world and I slapped it
on a little prison cell window and every
single day I woke up and I realized make
good choices great things happen aim
small miss small
[Music]
I promise you if some of you are just
beginning to take ownership of your life
and some of you probably are already
striving and doing phenomenal and making
good choices I want to say keep going
don’t give up keep pursuing it because I
promise you every single one of you
we’re meant to leave your fingerprints
on history but I’m here to tell any of
you in here if you’re battling if you’re
struggling you’ve got to know when to
cut anchor and go on about your life
because you can’t be letting people live
rent-free up here you can’t be letting
people hold you back and who you
surround yourself with matters changes
in heaven by accident change takes
intentional choices to be different and
that’s just truthful today I’m gonna get
my attitude all that I got I’m gonna
give up working on my character all that
I got I want to try to be responsible
with all that I got I want to be the
best me with everything that I got with
all that I got if we can every day look
in the mirror and say I don’t need to be
perfect but I want to progress today
every day I’m gonna get a little bit
better I promise you accountability and
transparency will change your life as
much as you want to sometimes isolate
and be by yourself and think that you
can do this on your own you can’t you’re
not an island and you can’t do this on
your own and it’s yes we got to have our
good friends we need to have those
people that can encourage us but it’s
not just on a horizontal level there has
to be a vertical level those coaches
those mentors those people that have
been through some things in life you
need them in your life you need
counselors and people in your life that
can see you and see your blind spots
because we normally in life we will not
see our blind spots make good choices
great things happen you see every choice
that I can make listen I can’t control
what you think about me I can’t
me I can’t control what you say about me
but I control how I react respond and
what I do with my life I’m in control of
my life I don’t let external factors
control me I’m in control of my life
because sometimes life can be tough life
can be challenging and sometimes the
obstacles in front of you seem like
they’re too big it’s easier to Salette
down what you know what I remember I
remember when my dad used to look at me
and the kids that listed faith in life
it’s never going to give you anything
but if you make it if you build it
nobody can take it from you because
hardwork and tenacity and we refusing to
quit and chasing your dream you’ll get
there I promise you maybe you don’t get
the star but you’ll let on the moon you
don’t still give up when you go after
and you stop care about the opinions of
people around you stop blaming everybody
from your hurts take ownership in your
life take off your mask
don’t let the pain
Bakley choices be a best friend
encourage somebody bill voice of hope
and inspiration this is your moment
[Music]
always remember this your past never has
to be bigger than your future maybe
we’ve made some mistakes maybe you know
we did some things that were not proud
of but the great thing is is that people
can change
