0:00:00.060,0:00:03.570
if you don't believe in yourself then

0:00:01.620,0:00:06.620
who's going to believe in you leave in

0:00:03.570,0:00:09.630
yourself okay believe in your power

0:00:06.620,0:00:15.360
that's where it starts out you got this

0:00:09.630,0:00:19.410
so act like you got this you already

0:00:15.360,0:00:22.800
have it know that this is the time to be

0:00:19.410,0:00:25.019
something of worth I think the first

0:00:22.800,0:00:30.420
thing is recognizing that you are not

0:00:25.019,0:00:33.059
what you do inspire yourself into the

0:00:30.420,0:00:35.010
right direction look find things of

0:00:33.059,0:00:37.590
latch on to hook on to things that

0:00:35.010,0:00:40.170
inspire you fill your eyes in your soul

0:00:37.590,0:00:42.090
with them and know that this is your

0:00:40.170,0:00:44.670
power this is the advantage you have

0:00:42.090,0:00:47.070
over everyone else you fill yourself up

0:00:44.670,0:00:50.550
with things that inspire you until you

0:00:47.070,0:00:53.520
day after day after day being around

0:00:50.550,0:00:57.030
people that inspire me not by their

0:00:53.520,0:00:58.980
words but moreso by their actions I hear

0:00:57.030,0:01:01.949
a lot of people talk every single day

0:00:58.980,0:01:03.629
and I was one of these guys and I

0:01:01.949,0:01:05.850
started not to listen to what people

0:01:03.629,0:01:07.560
said I started to watch how people acted

0:01:05.850,0:01:10.979
and how they interact with other people

0:01:07.560,0:01:14.340
and that helped me set the bar for what

0:01:10.979,0:01:17.479
I want to do just know that you can be

0:01:14.340,0:01:20.900
your potential know that you can be this

0:01:17.479,0:01:23.430
know that you have this in that tonight

0:01:20.900,0:01:27.060
you're gonna fight

0:01:23.430,0:01:34.560
a battle for your power a battle but

0:01:27.060,0:01:37.410
knowing that you come out on top this is

0:01:34.560,0:01:39.390
this is what it's all about you know and

0:01:37.410,0:01:41.670
I used to say all the time why me why me

0:01:39.390,0:01:45.450
why me and also in that conversation

0:01:41.670,0:01:46.920
changed it yeah like why not me like why

0:01:45.450,0:01:49.229
not me and I think the more you can

0:01:46.920,0:01:51.300
start looking at facing adversity by

0:01:49.229,0:01:53.040
saying why not me you approach things

0:01:51.300,0:01:54.690
with a completely different mentality

0:01:53.040,0:01:56.430
than a person who feels like they're

0:01:54.690,0:01:58.410
going to be a victim you start becoming

0:01:56.430,0:02:01.080
the hunter again and the more you can

0:01:58.410,0:02:04.500
stay with that hunter mentality it will

0:02:01.080,0:02:07.770
pay dividends everyone wants to eat but

0:02:04.500,0:02:11.180
few are willing to hunt who do you want

0:02:07.770,0:02:16.350
to be how do you want people to see you

0:02:11.180,0:02:19.950
stronger hard-working successful if you

0:02:16.350,0:02:24.140
want people to see you like that you you

0:02:19.950,0:02:27.330
need to change change and grow

0:02:24.140,0:02:30.030
strengthen yourself build up your

0:02:27.330,0:02:31.709
potential construct your future who are

0:02:30.030,0:02:33.870
you going to be are you gonna be that

0:02:31.709,0:02:35.340
person that wallows in their self-pity

0:02:33.870,0:02:37.110
we're gonna be the person that says you

0:02:35.340,0:02:39.150
know okay I did this wrong I did that

0:02:37.110,0:02:40.799
wrong but how can I be better and I

0:02:39.150,0:02:42.810
think that's what I talk about that

0:02:40.799,0:02:46.430
relentless mentality to want to be

0:02:42.810,0:02:46.430
better at just life in general

0:02:46.900,0:02:50.990
now you have to find balance in life

0:02:49.220,0:02:53.030
right so they're gonna be times where

0:02:50.990,0:02:55.640
your your journeys gonna be down here

0:02:53.030,0:02:57.350
and it's gonna be tough and the same

0:02:55.640,0:02:59.510
when things get high you know you sign

0:02:57.350,0:03:01.190
in a deal or you you know you have to be

0:02:59.510,0:03:03.740
able to keep things in perspective and I

0:03:01.190,0:03:06.590
think sometimes when I stop I force

0:03:03.740,0:03:08.150
myself to assess okay whatever that were

0:03:06.590,0:03:10.580
the benefits you know where the

0:03:08.150,0:03:11.870
negatives how can i how can I turn this

0:03:10.580,0:03:13.130
negative into a positive

0:03:11.870,0:03:15.410
all right let me make sure that I don't

0:03:13.130,0:03:17.150
get too high and I continue to keep my

0:03:15.410,0:03:19.040
head down and work harder because I I

0:03:17.150,0:03:20.810
want to achieve more if it's not for me

0:03:19.040,0:03:23.060
for the people that work for me or for

0:03:20.810,0:03:25.820
my girlfriend or my mom deserves better

0:03:23.060,0:03:28.880
so I try to find that one thing because

0:03:25.820,0:03:31.640
I'm very goal-oriented that I need to

0:03:28.880,0:03:34.220
work towards and once I achieve that

0:03:31.640,0:03:35.600
it's another goal and I don't want it to

0:03:34.220,0:03:40.100
ever stop because that's what life

0:03:35.600,0:03:43.070
should be be selfish and take control of

0:03:40.100,0:03:46.070
your life take control of your abilities

0:03:43.070,0:03:49.790
take control of your potential don't

0:03:46.070,0:03:53.060
waste any more time take courage to

0:03:49.790,0:03:56.810
provide for yourself to provide your

0:03:53.060,0:04:00.470
potential grasp it no longer will you be

0:03:56.810,0:04:04.240
afraid to make it to change it no one

0:04:00.470,0:04:10.910
else is living your life take control

0:04:04.240,0:04:13.390
practice patience progress take yourself

0:04:10.910,0:04:20.829
through the barrier

0:04:13.390,0:04:22.210
I came back mentally right like that's a

0:04:20.829,0:04:24.820
story like that's it that's a story that

0:04:22.210,0:04:26.470
should be cherished for younger kids out

0:04:24.820,0:04:27.910
there for older people out there doesn't

0:04:26.470,0:04:30.040
matter you don't have to come back and

0:04:27.910,0:04:31.780
do what you did before and do it

0:04:30.040,0:04:34.840
exponentially better you have to come

0:04:31.780,0:04:37.000
back better as a person and and and

0:04:34.840,0:04:39.880
really value that process that's a

0:04:37.000,0:04:42.669
comeback it's amazing when you have to

0:04:39.880,0:04:44.110
be vulnerable to talk about issues that

0:04:42.669,0:04:48.430
a lot of people aren't willing to talk

0:04:44.110,0:04:50.590
about and I think choose is a really

0:04:48.430,0:04:54.160
imperative word because a lot of people

0:04:50.590,0:04:55.630
choose not choose not to you know follow

0:04:54.160,0:04:58.690
up on things that happened in their past

0:04:55.630,0:05:01.740
or sometimes reflect I am where I am and

0:04:58.690,0:05:01.740
only I can change it

0:05:02.780,0:05:06.770
you are the only person that could

0:05:04.490,0:05:08.090
change it at the end of day people can

0:05:06.770,0:05:10.100
want to help you as much as they want to

0:05:08.090,0:05:10.910
help you and I don't think complainings

0:05:10.100,0:05:14.090
answer either

0:05:10.910,0:05:15.410
I think vulnerability and and talking to

0:05:14.090,0:05:17.210
people out what's actually going on in

0:05:15.410,0:05:18.950
your life gets them invested in you and

0:05:17.210,0:05:20.750
the more you listen to them get some

0:05:18.950,0:05:23.120
invested you know you invested back in

0:05:20.750,0:05:25.780
them and that's when a bond is formed

0:05:23.120,0:05:28.190
but that person can only take you so far

0:05:25.780,0:05:30.320
you have to want to take yourself to a

0:05:28.190,0:05:32.870
different place and if you don't have

0:05:30.320,0:05:35.150
that then you're gonna stay stuck and a

0:05:32.870,0:05:37.930
lot of people choose to stay stuck and

0:05:35.150,0:05:37.930
we see it every single day

0:05:38.400,0:05:42.930
you have to be vulnerable enough with

0:05:40.620,0:05:46.400
yourself to accept the fact that did

0:05:42.930,0:05:48.690
happen bad stuff happens to everybody

0:05:46.400,0:05:49.949
you have to drive your own car and if

0:05:48.690,0:05:52.169
you don't drive it someone's gonna drive

0:05:49.949,0:05:53.520
it for you and that that other person is

0:05:52.169,0:05:55.770
driving it may not be a person it may be

0:05:53.520,0:05:57.539
a darkness that entity that we talked

0:05:55.770,0:06:00.990
about that is easy to get lost and

0:05:57.539,0:06:03.990
consumed it do have the power the power

0:06:00.990,0:06:07.590
to become someone that even the deepest

0:06:03.990,0:06:10.380
part of you trusts someone you trust to

0:06:07.590,0:06:13.110
succeed become the person that you know

0:06:10.380,0:06:15.060
you can be stand up for your future for

0:06:13.110,0:06:19.560
your power and for you to be something

0:06:15.060,0:06:21.180
full of the worth that is in you you

0:06:19.560,0:06:22.020
know we spent so much time talking to

0:06:21.180,0:06:23.490
other people and giving other people

0:06:22.020,0:06:25.020
advice on what they need to do in their

0:06:23.490,0:06:26.550
life and sometimes you need sit down

0:06:25.020,0:06:30.060
give yourself advice on what's what's

0:06:26.550,0:06:32.490
best for you it's fulfilling to

0:06:30.060,0:06:34.650
recognize that nobody is the perfect end

0:06:32.490,0:06:36.930
product and everybody has stuff to work

0:06:34.650,0:06:38.789
on but once you're able to say wow that

0:06:36.930,0:06:41.310
that is something I need to work on and

0:06:38.789,0:06:44.480
you feel yourself taking the steps

0:06:41.310,0:06:48.169
necessary to be better at it

0:06:44.480,0:06:48.169
[Music]

0:06:48.200,0:06:53.750
don't do something you do something

0:06:50.990,0:06:56.480
because you have to do it do something

0:06:53.750,0:06:59.780
to take a step out of the line move away

0:06:56.480,0:07:02.360
from the ordinary don't stop because of

0:06:59.780,0:07:06.350
failures don't quit because it is

0:07:02.360,0:07:10.610
getting hard success comes at a price

0:07:06.350,0:07:13.700
and you must be willing to pay it this

0:07:10.610,0:07:17.300
storm will pass and when it does if you

0:07:13.700,0:07:21.770
are still standing you will be stronger

0:07:17.300,0:07:23.960
for it don't quit you are already

0:07:21.770,0:07:26.960
hurting why stop now

0:07:23.960,0:07:28.460
you have already come this far why give

0:07:26.960,0:07:34.160
in when it gets hard

0:07:28.460,0:07:36.200
why don't say why me say try me it's not

0:07:34.160,0:07:37.730
always going to be easy there going to

0:07:36.200,0:07:41.060
be challenges there still going to be

0:07:37.730,0:07:44.510
the curve balls thrown at me but I can't

0:07:41.060,0:07:45.950
become introverted I have to continue to

0:07:44.510,0:07:47.600
get outside myself because when you're

0:07:45.950,0:07:51.830
uncomfortable that's the only way you're

0:07:47.600,0:07:55.220
going to grow you're so busy in the

0:07:51.830,0:07:56.510
minutia and the the clutter that you're

0:07:55.220,0:07:59.240
running through your life with your head

0:07:56.510,0:08:02.120
down and it was the first man to sit and

0:07:59.240,0:08:05.810
evaluate and that process within itself

0:08:02.120,0:08:09.770
is rewarding peaceful to my soul of my

0:08:05.810,0:08:11.480
spirit but still still drives me because

0:08:09.770,0:08:13.070
I still know I have such a long way to

0:08:11.480,0:08:17.300
go and I have to continue the process

0:08:13.070,0:08:20.570
and never stop you want the hard times

0:08:17.300,0:08:23.090
you want the pain you want resistance

0:08:20.570,0:08:26.870
because if there is resistance you are

0:08:23.090,0:08:30.740
growing you are developing stop wishing

0:08:26.870,0:08:33.349
it was easier which you were better as

0:08:30.740,0:08:36.979
I'm walking onto the court who do I see

0:08:33.349,0:08:40.010
I see Kobe Bryant already working out

0:08:36.979,0:08:42.440
okay it's kind of cool it's Kobe stop

0:08:40.010,0:08:44.870
Kobe you know and uh you know so I put

0:08:42.440,0:08:47.120
my sneakers on and you ever get lost in

0:08:44.870,0:08:49.430
what you do where you end up it's been

0:08:47.120,0:08:51.680
an hour and a half I'm just I'm here I'm

0:08:49.430,0:08:54.170
in it so once I set my foot across that

0:08:51.680,0:08:55.639
line I started working out and so I

0:08:54.170,0:08:58.010
worked out for a good hour I don't a

0:08:55.639,0:09:00.290
half and when I came off after I was

0:08:58.010,0:09:02.269
done I sat down and of course I still

0:09:00.290,0:09:05.630
heard the ball bounce I look down like

0:09:02.269,0:09:07.100
this guy's right now he was working out

0:09:05.630,0:09:09.110
like it looks like he was in the dead

0:09:07.100,0:09:11.139
sweat when I got here and he's still

0:09:09.110,0:09:14.300
going and it's not like his moves are

0:09:11.139,0:09:17.690
nonchalant lazy he's doing like game

game he drops 40 on us okay and after

0:09:31.970,0:09:36.110
the game is over I'm like I have to ask

0:09:33.620,0:09:39.560
this guy guy I have to understand like

0:09:36.110,0:09:42.019
why why he works like that right so

0:09:39.560,0:09:44.480

want you to know that it doesn't matter

0:09:48.380,0:09:53.180
how hard you work that I'm willing to

0:09:50.660,0:09:54.589
