Average Is For The Weak

The reason why I've been telling you not to be average, don't be good, try to be great, and be phenomenal. The reason why I told you that is because you have to understand it.

If you stay average and you stay good, you'll never get to where you're trying to get to. Why do I keep saying "be phenomenal or be forgotten"? Because Martin Luther King is no longer physically present, but we remember him.

You're not forgotten. You keep hearing me talk about Mother Teresa. We can't forget about her. She's on there. Gandhi's is on there. Martin Luther King is on there. Steve Jobs made it on there. They aren't forgotten, and I'm telling you, if you're average, you are going to be forgotten.

If you are good, you are going to be forgotten. Nobody's going to remember you. You have to avoid average like the plague, and then when you get to "Good," you have to make up your mind that good is only going to be for a few moments; it's just a platform, and you're going to get out of "Good" and go to "Great." Don't make me wait. Don't make excuses. Simply get up, get out, and complete your task.

Take action now and start achieving your goals. You are phenomenal. Beyonce, you do matter, but that's just the beginning, step one. We've got to keep climbing. We've got to keep moving. We've got to keep going.

Once you get that momentum going, well, once that momentum gets going, there is no telling where you can go. Keep pushing on through all of the pain, through all of the stress, through all of the worries, through all of the depression.

Never give up, but you have to keep pushing, understanding that there's nothing you can't do, there's nothing you can't have, You're not where you are because you don't have an opportunity. It has nothing to do with opportunities.

You've been given an opportunity. The issue is that you're not making the most of that opportunity. That's why you're stuck on that particular level. Set out to achieve greatness not by looking for someone to give it to you, but by going to work to set your own inner greatness free. There's a direct correlation between time and success, so one of the blueprints to success is that you've got to have a sense of urgency.

The only way to get what you want in life is to get to work and push yourself out of your comfort zone to achieve what you want. Now is the time to take this thing to a whole other level. You'll fight for everything you've got. You will go the extra mile. You will conquer all obstacles. Don't just say it, be it, do it, overcome it. I won't go back. I will be good. It will be great. It will be amazing.
