you know you’re trying hard when you
quit your mind says we’re done so it
isn’t expand

I’m drowning a miserable of suffering a
broken but I’m not going anywhere

out and these starts engage parts of
your mind you never engage before but

most of us are standing in a busy street
just letting the opportunities in life
pass us by we’re waiting for the perfect
situation the perfect circumstance is
the perfect opportunity the perfect time

the perfect moment there’s never a
perfect moment to do something great
with your life

problems it’s our solutions to those
problems that make us different do you
have the courage to get what you want it
takes courage to achieve your gold man
it takes courage to be successful it’s
easy to be comfortable it’s easy not to
try it’s easy to give up it’s easy to
stand on the sidelines and watch what
other people with courage go out and get
oldish for themselves that you want for
yourself it’s easy to look at these
people and make excuses as to why they
can do what you can you have everything
you need to achieve anything and you’re
gonna let fear dictate what you do
you’re stronger than that come on this
is your time you know what you want so

something you hate so you might as well
risk it and do something you love it
takes courage to get what you want and
to start changing your stars you have to
go into it with the knowledge that it
ain’t gonna be easy it’s gonna be about
you can either be a victim of your life
or the master of it but the choice
that’s yours to make
[Music]
yes it hurts sometimes when you feel
alone
it hurts sometimes when you in that dark
place and you feel no one cares about
you the first thing you got to realize
is that you got to love yourself it’s
about self-love
start understanding that if you’re gonna
do something with your life
you’ve got to fall in love with yourself
again you’ve got to stop self-hating
yourself do something that’s gonna make
you a better person make an impact in
this world don’t look at it as though
it’s something that you gotta do
temporary although we know that life is
short like many people in this world
they didn’t realize that the next day
they was gonna be diagnosed with a
cancer they thought that tomorrow was
gonna be waiting for them and they did
not wake up but you are still living now
what do you have to do how are you gonna
move forward
how you gonna proceed your life life is
not a game life is living
there’s the good and there’s the bag and
there’s definitely the right now you
can’t wait for somebody else
[Music]

your life better you got to focus on you
now I’m not saying forget the rest of
the people but I’ll tell you to get rid
of the things that are not making you
strong got I’m not making you better
got not making you efficient got not
putting you in a better place that’s not
giving you the strength that you need to
keep living the life that you have been
given don’t you give up on life coz what
your life is over you can’t come back
leave your mark
help someone lift someone up when they
down
be the strength for others when they’re
weak
and maybe when you are at the weakest
point in your life
someone will lift you up because we all
struggle no one is immune to it so keep
fighting forward
don’t give up live breathe life you
that’s what it’s about it’s gonna hurt
sometimes it’s gonna get tough but when
it get tough you get tough just make
sure you make your mark make sure you
make your mark in this world because
somebody didn’t make it today but you
did keep living keep living strong don’t
give up it is not about worrying about
what’s gonna happen tomorrow because
guess what tomorrow doesn’t know you or
me anything in a matter of fact tomorrow
has already made up as mine you have
this moment you can’t worry about
yesterday because yesterday is not
coming back to look for you whatever you
had the chance to do yesterday won’t
come back but you have this moment
you have this chance to do something
great with this life that you have been
given you may been through a lot in your
life you may have been through hell in
your life but hell doesn’t own you hell
did not create you the life has been
given to you from a higher power
something that you need to understand
that no matter who you are in this world
that we live in today
everyone must struggle
everyone must suffer but everybody that
is going through something always has a
story to tell
most people that are successful right
now had to go through something to get
what they got to this day some people
are not even willing to hurt and can
feel that so they they get what it is
that they want but let’s go beyond that
what about the other people I hear who
can’t walk what about the people out
there who can’t talked what about the
people out there that are suffering from
diseases that cannot be cured from what
about you what about you what are you
gonna do about the life you have how are
you gonna live how far are you gonna go
do you feel sorry for yourself because
you’re having a bad day do you feel
sorry for yourself because you lost your
job do you feel sorry for yourself
because you just feel like you just not
having today that you want to have
because the day that you have it’s not
the way you want it to go or do you feel
that you deserve a pat on your back
because you did a good thing we all got
a responsibility we all got to be
accountable we all got to put in work
but don’t give up because there’s
somebody out there right now that is
hurting there’s somebody out there right
now that is struggling get somebody out
there right now that’s got it a little
bit tougher than you do
so why are you gonna give up now
anything that comes your way you got to
be prepared accept the challenge and go
through it don’t lay on your back and
something on your chest get it off as
long as you’re breathing as long as that
heart is pumping blood you’re not dead
yet they haven’t put rose petals on your
box yet make sure every breath you take
count for something
it’s time to understand that if you want
to get something out of your life you
got to be willing to work for it
how much are you really willing to give
are you prepared to hurt are you
prepared to struggle because if you’re
not that person then lay back down stay
where you are
don’t move forward move backwards but if
you are the person that you say you are
we don’t have time to wait because time
doesn’t owe you anything
time is not thinking about you time has
already made up its mind what you gonna
do
who said is supposed to be easy it takes
grit it takes some NASA
it takes sacrifice stop feeling sorry
for yourself this is not a pity party
but you’ve got the right to celebrate
the life because no matter if it’s good
or if it’s bad nothing is greater than
living because if you’re living there’s
a possibility to change something but
not just change it evolve it evolve it
to something greater being able to take
something that may not be nothing to
others but may mean something to you
there are so many people in this world
that don’t believe in you but while
you’re sitting around worrying about
people believing in you why don’t you
focus on believing in yourself live
breathe life you
that’s what it’s about life is not like
a football game life is not like a
basketball game life is not a sport in
sport if you’re losing when the clock
stops you’ve lost you failed when time
is up when the buzzer sounds you’re
either a winner or a loser you can’t
change the score your dream has no clock
you try and try again until you succeed
you decide if a failure is the end of
your dream and you also decide if you
keep going you see it really isn’t such
a thing as failure it’s only your choice
to quit or keep going if you keep going
you have a fail
it’s just a prolonged victory a better
story most people quit that’s why they
call it failure but really there’s only
you decided to quit you deciding to keep
going or you die there’s no failure if
you don’t succeed the first time decide
to keep going a second time if you don’t
succeed the second time decide to keep
going a third time fourth fifth change
your path not your goal work harder work
smarter try something new get advice
keep going if you run out of money find
a way to get more and put it to values
this time do not accept failure ever you
are better than that decide to find a
way decide to keep going refuse to
accept failure in your life the only
thing that can stop you from reaching
that dream is death if the plan doesn’t
work change the plan but not the goal
stay focused on what you want it doesn’t
matter how you get there it doesn’t
matter what path you take just make sure
you take one that gets to your goal
you failed you’re not a failure you
failed but it’s not over
keep going and turn that failure into a
great story everything you are going
through is preparing you but what you
ask you ask for great character and
you’re developing a great one keep going
and get your rewards keep going and show
the world the carrot
[Music]
what happens is is when we wear the mask
we’re not dealing with the things below
the surface
if you don’t begin to address some of
those internal things with talking to
safe systems of care when I say that I’m
talking about teachers and counselors
and parents and people in the community
people that you know even best friends
people that you can confide in and to
begin to talk and the process some of
your hurts and your pains and your
emotional struggles because if you don’t
the pressures gonna find its way out you
see communicating and talking about
these things healthiest safest way for
us to constantly alleviate that pressure
but what happens is we’re wearing masks
and so that pressure builds and it needs
to find a way out so cell must turn to
thoughts of giving up some of us turn to
thoughts are self harming some of us
turn to picking on kids and bullying
kids because honestly hurting people
hurt people and so for all of you
sometimes I feel like you’re broken for
all of you sometimes I feel like you’ve
made too many mistakes for all of you
sometimes I feel like you’re a failure
you need to understand something like
regardless of what you’ve been through
regardless of what some of those things
in your life that seem broken and they
seem like they’re just they’re in
shambles and like nobody understands you
and that you feel alone you’re a failure
and you feel like you can’t achieve or
and you feel like people have labeled
you at the end of the day everything
that you’ve been through I just need to
challenge you like to do it afraid call
it your picture because broken crowns
call they’re just as beautiful as
brand-new lines
[Music]
and I know some of us in here
you’re like Nate bro yeah man you’re
right but my communities already labeled
me people have already written me off
you don’t know my story you don’t know
about what’s happened to me here you’re
right man
but I do know that you matter and I do
know that you have friends around you
and I do know that you have counselors
and teachers and people surrounding you
and you don’t have to do this on your
own but you will never get there ever by
stepping on the necks of others around
you you will never get there by picking
on kids and making fun of kids because
here’s what’s gonna happen until you
begin to face your real issues until you
begin to recognize you know what I’m not
okay and take off the mask and take off
the fake image and for training to be
this dude that you’re this chick that
you’re really not until you begin to
face some of the things that you’re
struggling with and talking to
counselors and teachers and parents
talking to somebody that cares about you
and that believes in you until you talk
about it you’re never going to change
man listen to me man I get passionate
about these things not because you know
what this is this my job like I live
this man like I don’t want any of you in
here to have to go through and make the
mistakes and the journeys now that I may
take control of your life there’s too
much world out there for you just just
exist we are born to experience life you
were born to be better to achieve better
to become better so you can experience
more but just like my daddy told me when
I was a kid no one’s going to spoon feed
this to you you’ve got to take control
of your life and that’s just fast
I know anyways here sticks and stones
can break your bone but words can never
hurt you that’s not true that’s not true
that’s not true words hurt
do they not words hurt it is a natural
thing for every one of us to want to
feel respected want to feel loved and
want to feel valued and not invisible to
somebody and I know I sound aggressive
when I’m talking about boolean or how I
like to call it as verbal meant or
emotional abuse but it’s because I care
about you and you’re never gonna reach
your full potential until you take off
your mask
you’re never gonna fulfill your destiny
until you get to the root of why you
treat us the way you treat us if you’re
walking wounded you are valuable you
have worth
you’re not alone but you have to find
the courage to begin to talk about your
hurts and your pains I promise you you
were born to leave your fingerprints on
history
[Music]
there are two things you need to know
about certainty one is that it’s an idea
derived from fiction there’s no way of
knowing exactly what the top of the
mountain will look like and waiting for
that to materialize to have that crystal
clear step-by-step formula
it creates stagnation
if we don’t have perfections so we don’t
move it’s one of those things where you
wait and days turns a days and more days
and weeks and months and years and
eventually regret why because we were
not certain and what do we do see this
leads to the second piece we study
everything we live in a time where we
have access to unlimited resources and
it’s this incredible thing right we can
study that the LeBron James that Jeff
Bezos the gary vaynerchuk’s of the world
we can see exactly what they did we can
see how they think how they approach
problems how they get to solution on one
hand
unbelievable benefit knowledge is power
but on the other hand there’s a cost and
this cost can be extremely detrimental
because it mitigates the most important
thing in your life and that is your
unique self what makes you valuable what
do you bring to the world what makes you
tick and I’ll tell you right now you do
not find that by studying how Jeff Bezos
started Amazon and attempting to
duplicate it you don’t find that by
simply copying LeBron James workout
routine your value your source of
happiness
you know that’s discovered moving
forward through ups and downs falling
and getting back up not once not twice
but repeatedly
and it’s through those trials and
tribulations that you carve out who you
are but if you wait for the perfect
moment you’ll never find it which means
you will never go through this process I
often think back to my days in the
corporate world in the insurance
industry being in a situation that I was
not thriving in and if someone sat me
down said Eddie what do you want to do
what is the top of the mountain what
does success look like to you I couldn’t
answer that but what I did know is that
I loved to create I loved to speak to
write compose music produce videos just
put out content that’s what I was
destined to do and I knew it
but if I waited to move until I knew
exactly what my life would look like
until there was you know this path
perfectly paved to the finish line I’d
still be there I’d be in a cubicle
crunching numbers in Excel in a weirdly
painted beige room but sometimes you
have to move forward
trust your gut your instincts what you
love to do embrace the idea the fact
that you’ll fall down and you’ll fall
down and you’ll get back up but then it
will shape you and then as you go on
living your passion your purpose
thriving in life the pieces come
together you have to trust that even
when it’s not certain because I’ll tell
you what is certain if you do not move
you will not achieve that world will
spin right around you
I read a book a few months ago called
hatching Twitter simple read it’s about
the founders of Twitter jack of all
these guys with their different ideas
and different you know notions of what
this company is gonna be you know it
started out as I believe a radio online
radio company and it evolved and it
evolved and there were pivots and
adjustments and alterations and they
kept moving forward and they kept
growing and there’s one point where they
have a valuation of millions and
millions of dollars and they’re having a
conversation like what do we have what
is our company is it’s real-time news
the focus are we promoting social
interact like what is it how do we brand
this how do we market it what do we have
on our hands this is a company worth
millions of dollars
talk about just moving forward taking
one step at a time things will change
they’ll evolve but you have to give
yourself an opportunity for that to
happen imagine if they never left the
garage or whatever room they started the
company in because they didn’t know what
it would be in 2017 you wouldn’t have
Twitter and that applies to everything
around us right we have this idea that
you know things were meant to be they
were destined know things exist around
us because of risks that were taken
because people pushed forward until they
got a result until they knew what they
were meant to do and it materialized and
that is life
[Music]
so don’t be scared to take that step
don’t be nervous to fall down
you need that the world needs that
because without it we’ll have could bees
and some days but not the existence that
we want that you deserve that you’re
capable of acquiring no longer is
certainty the standard progress is the
standard and your life will change
