How bad do you want this? If it's as bad as you want to live, breathe, or sleep, you know how to do it. You know exactly how to be you, or how to be me. You have to be your own motivator, your own coach. You may have failed miserably yesterday. You'd be like, man, you just lost everything. How the hell are you just damn motivated? Because this is what it takes. Most people with one big have failed big, okay? You've got to go out there and fail. You've got to go out there and fall down. I want you to fail, and I want you to get up and do it again. The same thing in life is the same thing here. If you can do this, you can do anything, anything. Right now you're 5% away. 5% away from being a champion. I want to see what you do when you're tired. Let me see how you push yourself. Come on, man. Get up. Get up again tomorrow. Get up again tomorrow. Get up again tomorrow. Get up again tomorrow. The next day. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Keep going. I understand that you want it bad, so you're willing to put into work and do things you don't want to do. It's what makes you have that confidence that you know how to push through. You want to be ordinary? You ain't even got to listen to me. Just go about your business. But if you are sitting in this room and you have extraordinary aspirations, then you're going to have to do extra. It's no other way. I'm sorry. But here's the fact, all of you have extraordinary capabilities, all of you. You have to decide if you are willing to do the things to put you in that category. Nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks. Nothing. There is no passion to be found playing small and settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living. I had this fire, this drive and passion that I'm going to be somebody. And it has to be there because on all those bad days and all those days you don't want to do shit. You'll doubt whether it'll work. You'll stress to make ends meet. You won't finish your to-do list. You'll wonder whether you made the right call and have no way to know for yours. This is what hard feels like. And that's okay. Everything worth doing is hard. And the more worth doing it is, the harder it is. The greater the payoff. The greater the hardship. If it's hard, good. It means no one else will do it. More for you. ♪♪♪ (gentle music)
