listen and take evasive action i can help you change your future the following few moments may very well change your life i wish someone had told me this when i was your age it’s really okay to feel bad for a little while give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost but then here’s the key learn from every mistake when you think about success and when you identify what it is that matters oftentimes there are pockets or highlights or just a little wink here or there that will help you to understand where you’re supposed to be going and what it is you’re supposed to be doing a blessing isn’t a blessing if you can’t handle it so do you have the adaptability in your plan for what you’re getting ready to do next do you have the ability to adapt to better worse rich or poor sickness help i would rather go after it and not get it than not go after it at all i’d rather try and fail did not cry at all who you are what your purpose is and the gifts and the calling that you have are so unique that there will never be another you in the history of the earth you must achieve that’s why you’re here you’re driven to succeed you’re driven to maximize moments you’re driven to success i want people to tell me i can’t do something and then i get excited it’s actually i’ve realized the majority of the most pitiful moments in my life are people telling me i can’t do something what do i need to do differently today what do i need to model it is time for you to tell your family what you really think need believe dream of you have to have courage confidence and therefore you’re going to have choices more success only stresses you out when you don’t have the habits to handle it i didn’t have that influence i grew up in an economically broke mining town i mean i didn’t really have a lot of great influences i didn’t know about seeking to serve outside myself i was just too young i didn’t know i didn’t get it i didn’t get it the world starts wearing those dreams down and they start just existing they give up on their dreams and they start just accepting it well that’s not the way it’s supposed to be not for you the world really needs you now more than ever together with love compassion forgiveness and faith in humanity success can be just as daunting as failure is it can throw you off kilter if you can’t adapt quickly enough to it you will lose it you can have more opportunities than you have infrastructure how do i want to interact with people what skills do i need to develop how do i want to serve well i’m telling you all that positive thinking and how you think and what you determine your destiny to be it works you must prepare your mind to be happy stress is an indicator it’s a benefit it’s a favor it lets you know you’re at your limits it does not mean that you cannot do it but it does mean you have to change something anytime there is stress you have to change structure or strategy you gotta take action now the great john wooden always said make today your masterpiece you’re gonna look there’s only one you and you’ve only got one today you’re spending the day i think in a great location but there is only one today one now tomorrow it’s gone i want to talk to you about change and the one thing that you can count on is there will always be change and if you don’t plan on the change as a leader that will determine how successful you are whether it is good change or bad chance it will always be changed and generally there will be both live your best life attack the world enjoy the journey starting now from the day forward be changed and charge it as i have watched and observe successful people what i have discovered about them is they really have figured out why they’re here when the thing gets rough and it gets tough what you need as a leader and as a thinker is not just a success to get there but the success to stay there sustainability it only happens when you make a decision by yourself failure is not final failure is only feedback every morning i will do today what others don’t so i’ll have tomorrow what others want if you hire people for where you are you wasted money if they can’t go where you’re going who will be impacted 200 years from now and will your name carry weight with those who are broken and those who are hurting they were meant for more than just what you do for a living you are an eternal being meant to inspire and help the world let’s get it right once and for all in this lifetime one day just like me you’ll die too what do you want to be remembered for what can you do to make the world a better place what is your true purpose on this earth my definition of old is the day you start talking more about what you did than what you’re gonna do you’re old go out and make it happen every day get up and live learn love and laugh and go out and go for it seize your future seize your destiny and live the life you deserve if you run after your destiny you will automatically distance yourself from your history you got to get up early you got to make a list you got to show up with a great attitude and you gotta get it done i feel confident i know what i’m doing know what i’m supposed to do i believe in my ability to figure things out i will earn this to truly succeed you have to control your thinking but in today’s digital immediate media world it’s tougher than ever what is your true calling what is your dharma what is your purpose what i’m doing is not for right now it’s for the generations to come so hopefully my life will stand the test of time and whatever i build whatever i sow how i treat people particularly those who don’t look like me or come from where i come from or think like me or have my perspective if i can treat them with honor and dignity and respect if i can fight for their hopes their dreams and their aspirations and i can lift somebody else if i can push one person into destiny then all the years of my life will have been worth it and then i can say with surety my life was a success we have gotten to a point where it’s midterms and we’re moving forward the days of you getting money i’m not saying we quitting but i’m saying today has got to go from external to internal you have to give it everything you got no more tv no more parties no more playing if you have a 4.
