Fight For Your Dream

Have you ever gone to the movies? At the end of the film, they scroll down like the names of the main characters, and then what happens if you keep watching? A cab-driver number 2, a bouncer at bar number 1, Have you ever seen those faceless people? Far too many of you in your life is obsessed with cab driver number 2 and the bouncer at the bar, number 1. At the end of your damn life, he's not going to show up in any of the important chapters.

You're obsessed with what other people think about you. The things that are going to kill your dream are your addiction to other people's approval and cab driver number two. He's not going to approve of what you're doing. Yet you give him all this power all the time. Stop giving people power who aren't in your book.

Do your life for the leading character: you, your spouse, your children, your parents, your legacy. They're the lead characters in the story of your life because the more you decide to take control of the narrative of the script of your life and live it, the more likely at the end of your life you're going to meet that dude.

We are not playing games. I never said it would be easy. If it was easy, everybody would do it. You must go into it knowing that it will not be easy, but rather a battle. You've got a choice: either you do what's hard and you succeed, or you do what's easy and you keep going in a circle after a circle and live in mediocrity. So we're not talking about it right now. It's not easy to get up at 3:00 or 4:00 o'clock in the morning.

It's not easy to hit the treadmill. It's not easy to make sacrifices. It's not easy to not watch the game. It's not easy to Nobody ever said it was going to be easy, but watch this, it can't get done if you are willing to put in that sweat equity, sweat equity baby, if you're willing to work for it, if you're willing to work at it, you can make your dream become a reality. Stop allowing life to push you around and start fighting back.

Most of the time, you'll feel like there's no way out and that you can't do it, but when I say there's always hope, grab it by the balls and attack it head-on. You've got to get up, get up, and get something. I'm talking about being active. I'm talking about you doing everything you can in 24 hours to get what you want. We must begin to look at the future and know that it's possible that we can have our dream.

Because others have done it, we can. We feel a lot of times that when a lot of other folks fail and eventually succeed, it's necessary that we get negative, do-nothing people out of our lives. It's necessary that we never stop learning, growing, and developing ourselves. It's necessary that we never give up.

We know that it's you, it's me, it's being responsible for our staff, and we're going to keep on keeping on. We know it's hard. It's not going to be a picnic. Yes, it's difficult, and we will work hard to accomplish it. Once it's done, we will go through it. We realized it was worth it, and once you discover it is worth it, it is done.
