I don't know what that dream is that you have. I don't care how disappointing it might had been as you are working toward that dream. That that dream that you are holding in your mind, that it's possible. That some of you already know that it's hard. It's not easy. It is hard changing your life. That in the process of working on your dreams, you are going to incur a lot of disappointment. A lot of failure. A lot of pain. There are moments when you are going to doubt yourself. You are gonna think "God, why is this happening to me? I am just trying to take care of my children and my mother, I am not trying to steal or rob from anybody. Why does that have to happen to me?" For those of you that have experienced some hardships, don't give up on your dream. The bad times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass.
Greatness is not this wonderful, exoteric, elusive, God-life feature that only the special among us will ever taste, you know, it is something that truly exists, in all of us. It is very important for you to believe that you are the one. Most people, they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die. They stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, they stop pushing themselves. That a lot of people like to complain, but they don't wanna do anything about their situation. And most people don't work on their dreams. Why? One is because of failure. The fear of failure. "What if things don't work out?" And the fear of success. "What if they do and I can't handle it? These are not risk takers.
You spend so much time with other people. You spend so much time trying to get people to like you. You know other people more than you know yourself. You studied them, you know about them, you wanna hang out like them, you wanna be just like them. And you know what, you have been investing so much time in them you don't even know who you are. I challenge you to spend time by yourself.
It is necessary that you get the losers outta your life if you want to live your dream. But for people who are running toward their dreams, life has a special kind of meaning. When you become the right person, what you do is you start separating yourself from other people, you begin to have a certain uniqueness, as long as you are not following another people, as long as you ain't being a copycat. You won't never ever be the best copycat in the world, but you will be the best you could be. I am challenging you to de(re)define your values.
That everybody won't see it, that everybody won't join you, that everybody won't have the vision. It is necessary to know that. That you are an uncommon breed. It is necessary that you align yourself with people that attract people into your business. Who are hungry. People who are unstoppable and unreasonable. People who are refusing to live life just as it is, and who want more.
That people that are living there dream are attracting winners to attach themselves to. The people that are living their dreams are the people that know that if it is going to happen, it is up to them.
If you wanna be more successful, if you wanna have and do stuff that you ain't never done before, number 1 thing that I am asking is to invest in you. To invest in you. Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. That you don't have to go through life being a victim. That even though you face disappointments, you have to know within yourself, that "I can do this even if no one else sees it from me, Imma see it for myself."
"This is what I believe, and I am willing to die for it. Period." No matter how bad it is, or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it. I wanna represent an idea, I wanna represent possibilities. As some of you right now, you wanna be, you know what I'm saying, you wanna go to the next level. I wanna counsel, I wanna be an engineer, I wanna be a doctor.. Listen to me, you can't get to that level, you can't get to that level economically where you wanna be until you start investing in your mind. You are not reading books? I'm challenging you to go to congresses. I dare you to invest time. I dare you to be alone. I dare you to spend an hour getting to know yourself.
When you become who you are, when you become the person that you are created to be; designed to be who you are designed to be, when you become an individual, what you do is you take yourself and you start separating yourself from other people. I challenge you to go to a place where people don't like you and don't even bother you no more. Why? Because you are not concerned with how to make them happy, because you are trying a little more, you are trying to get to the next level. I need you to invest in your mind. To invest in your mind. But you are still talking about your dream, but you are still talking about your goal. If you haven't done anything, just take the first step.
That you can make your parents proud, you can make your school proud, you can touch millions of people's lives, and the world will never be the same again, because you came this way. Don't let nobody steal your dream. As we face a rejection, and a "no," and we have a meeting and no one shows up, or someone says "You can count on me," but they don't come through... Why is it that we have that kind of attitude? Because we possess. Nobody believes in you, you have lost again and again and again, the lights are cut off, but you are still looking at your dream, reviewing it every day and saying yourself "It is not over, until I win."
You can live your dream.
