1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:03,570
if you don't believe in yourself then

2
00:00:01,620 --> 00:00:06,620
who's going to believe in you leave in

3
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:09,630
yourself okay believe in your power

4
00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:15,360
that's where it starts out you got this

5
00:00:09,630 --> 00:00:19,410
so act like you got this you already

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:22,800
have it know that this is the time to be

7
00:00:19,410 --> 00:00:25,019
something of worth I think the first

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:30,420
thing is recognizing that you are not

9
00:00:25,019 --> 00:00:33,059
what you do inspire yourself into the

10
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:35,010
right direction look find things of

11
00:00:33,059 --> 00:00:37,590
latch on to hook on to things that

12
00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:40,170
inspire you fill your eyes in your soul

13
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:42,090
with them and know that this is your

14
00:00:40,170 --> 00:00:44,670
power this is the advantage you have

15
00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:47,070
over everyone else you fill yourself up

16
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:50,550
with things that inspire you until you

17
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:53,520
day after day after day being around

18
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:57,030
people that inspire me not by their

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,980
words but moreso by their actions I hear

20
00:00:57,030 --> 00:01:01,949
a lot of people talk every single day

21
00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:03,629
and I was one of these guys and I

22
00:01:01,949 --> 00:01:05,850
started not to listen to what people

23
00:01:03,629 --> 00:01:07,560
said I started to watch how people acted

24
00:01:05,850 --> 00:01:10,979
and how they interact with other people

25
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:14,340
and that helped me set the bar for what

26
00:01:10,979 --> 00:01:17,479
I want to do just know that you can be

27
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:20,900
your potential know that you can be this

28
00:01:17,479 --> 00:01:23,430
know that you have this in that tonight

29
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:27,060
you're gonna fight

30
00:01:23,430 --> 00:01:34,560
a battle for your power a battle but

31
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:37,410
knowing that you come out on top this is

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,390
this is what it's all about you know and

33
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:41,670
I used to say all the time why me why me

34
00:01:39,390 --> 00:01:45,450
why me and also in that conversation

35
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:46,920
changed it yeah like why not me like why

36
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:49,229
not me and I think the more you can

37
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,300
start looking at facing adversity by

38
00:01:49,229 --> 00:01:53,040
saying why not me you approach things

39
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:54,690
with a completely different mentality

40
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,430
than a person who feels like they're

41
00:01:54,690 --> 00:01:58,410
going to be a victim you start becoming

42
00:01:56,430 --> 00:02:01,080
the hunter again and the more you can

43
00:01:58,410 --> 00:02:04,500
stay with that hunter mentality it will

44
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:07,770
pay dividends everyone wants to eat but

45
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:11,180
few are willing to hunt who do you want

46
00:02:07,770 --> 00:02:16,350
to be how do you want people to see you

47
00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:19,950
stronger hard-working successful if you

48
00:02:16,350 --> 00:02:24,140
want people to see you like that you you

49
00:02:19,950 --> 00:02:27,330
need to change change and grow

50
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:30,030
strengthen yourself build up your

51
00:02:27,330 --> 00:02:31,709
potential construct your future who are

52
00:02:30,030 --> 00:02:33,870
you going to be are you gonna be that

53
00:02:31,709 --> 00:02:35,340
person that wallows in their self-pity

54
00:02:33,870 --> 00:02:37,110
we're gonna be the person that says you

55
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:39,150
know okay I did this wrong I did that

56
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:40,799
wrong but how can I be better and I

57
00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:42,810
think that's what I talk about that

58
00:02:40,799 --> 00:02:46,430
relentless mentality to want to be

59
00:02:42,810 --> 00:02:46,430
better at just life in general

60
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,990
now you have to find balance in life

61
00:02:49,220 --> 00:02:53,030
right so they're gonna be times where

62
00:02:50,990 --> 00:02:55,640
your your journeys gonna be down here

63
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:57,350
and it's gonna be tough and the same

64
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:59,510
when things get high you know you sign

65
00:02:57,350 --> 00:03:01,190
in a deal or you you know you have to be

66
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:03,740
able to keep things in perspective and I

67
00:03:01,190 --> 00:03:06,590
think sometimes when I stop I force

68
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:08,150
myself to assess okay whatever that were

69
00:03:06,590 --> 00:03:10,580
the benefits you know where the

70
00:03:08,150 --> 00:03:11,870
negatives how can i how can I turn this

71
00:03:10,580 --> 00:03:13,130
negative into a positive

72
00:03:11,870 --> 00:03:15,410
all right let me make sure that I don't

73
00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:17,150
get too high and I continue to keep my

74
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:19,040
head down and work harder because I I

75
00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:20,810
want to achieve more if it's not for me

76
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,060
for the people that work for me or for

77
00:03:20,810 --> 00:03:25,820
my girlfriend or my mom deserves better

78
00:03:23,060 --> 00:03:28,880
so I try to find that one thing because

79
00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:31,640
I'm very goal-oriented that I need to

80
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:34,220
work towards and once I achieve that

81
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:35,600
it's another goal and I don't want it to

82
00:03:34,220 --> 00:03:40,100
ever stop because that's what life

83
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:43,070
should be be selfish and take control of

84
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:46,070
your life take control of your abilities

85
00:03:43,070 --> 00:03:49,790
take control of your potential don't

86
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:53,060
waste any more time take courage to

87
00:03:49,790 --> 00:03:56,810
provide for yourself to provide your

88
00:03:53,060 --> 00:04:00,470
potential grasp it no longer will you be

89
00:03:56,810 --> 00:04:04,240
afraid to make it to change it no one

90
00:04:00,470 --> 00:04:10,910
else is living your life take control

91
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:13,390
practice patience progress take yourself

92
00:04:10,910 --> 00:04:20,829
through the barrier

93
00:04:13,390 --> 00:04:22,210
I came back mentally right like that's a

94
00:04:20,829 --> 00:04:24,820
story like that's it that's a story that

95
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:26,470
should be cherished for younger kids out

96
00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:27,910
there for older people out there doesn't

97
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:30,040
matter you don't have to come back and

98
00:04:27,910 --> 00:04:31,780
do what you did before and do it

99
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,840
exponentially better you have to come

100
00:04:31,780 --> 00:04:37,000
back better as a person and and and

101
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:39,880
really value that process that's a

102
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,669
comeback it's amazing when you have to

103
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,110
be vulnerable to talk about issues that

104
00:04:42,669 --> 00:04:48,430
a lot of people aren't willing to talk

105
00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:50,590
about and I think choose is a really

106
00:04:48,430 --> 00:04:54,160
imperative word because a lot of people

107
00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:55,630
choose not choose not to you know follow

108
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,690
up on things that happened in their past

109
00:04:55,630 --> 00:05:01,740
or sometimes reflect I am where I am and

110
00:04:58,690 --> 00:05:01,740
only I can change it

111
00:05:02,780 --> 00:05:06,770
you are the only person that could

112
00:05:04,490 --> 00:05:08,090
change it at the end of day people can

113
00:05:06,770 --> 00:05:10,100
want to help you as much as they want to

114
00:05:08,090 --> 00:05:10,910
help you and I don't think complainings

115
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:14,090
answer either

116
00:05:10,910 --> 00:05:15,410
I think vulnerability and and talking to

117
00:05:14,090 --> 00:05:17,210
people out what's actually going on in

118
00:05:15,410 --> 00:05:18,950
your life gets them invested in you and

119
00:05:17,210 --> 00:05:20,750
the more you listen to them get some

120
00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:23,120
invested you know you invested back in

121
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:25,780
them and that's when a bond is formed

122
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,190
but that person can only take you so far

123
00:05:25,780 --> 00:05:30,320
you have to want to take yourself to a

124
00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:32,870
different place and if you don't have

125
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,150
that then you're gonna stay stuck and a

126
00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:37,930
lot of people choose to stay stuck and

127
00:05:35,150 --> 00:05:37,930
we see it every single day

128
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,930
you have to be vulnerable enough with

129
00:05:40,620 --> 00:05:46,400
yourself to accept the fact that did

130
00:05:42,930 --> 00:05:48,690
happen bad stuff happens to everybody

131
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,949
you have to drive your own car and if

132
00:05:48,690 --> 00:05:52,169
you don't drive it someone's gonna drive

133
00:05:49,949 --> 00:05:53,520
it for you and that that other person is

134
00:05:52,169 --> 00:05:55,770
driving it may not be a person it may be

135
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,539
a darkness that entity that we talked

136
00:05:55,770 --> 00:06:00,990
about that is easy to get lost and

137
00:05:57,539 --> 00:06:03,990
consumed it do have the power the power

138
00:06:00,990 --> 00:06:07,590
to become someone that even the deepest

139
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:10,380
part of you trusts someone you trust to

140
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:13,110
succeed become the person that you know

141
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:15,060
you can be stand up for your future for

142
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:19,560
your power and for you to be something

143
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:21,180
full of the worth that is in you you

144
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,020
know we spent so much time talking to

145
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:23,490
other people and giving other people

146
00:06:22,020 --> 00:06:25,020
advice on what they need to do in their

147
00:06:23,490 --> 00:06:26,550
life and sometimes you need sit down

148
00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:30,060
give yourself advice on what's what's

149
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:32,490
best for you it's fulfilling to

150
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:34,650
recognize that nobody is the perfect end

151
00:06:32,490 --> 00:06:36,930
product and everybody has stuff to work

152
00:06:34,650 --> 00:06:38,789
on but once you're able to say wow that

153
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:41,310
that is something I need to work on and

154
00:06:38,789 --> 00:06:44,480
you feel yourself taking the steps

155
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:48,169
necessary to be better at it

156
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,169
[Music]

157
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,750
don't do something you do something

158
00:06:50,990 --> 00:06:56,480
because you have to do it do something

159
00:06:53,750 --> 00:06:59,780
to take a step out of the line move away

160
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:02,360
from the ordinary don't stop because of

161
00:06:59,780 --> 00:07:06,350
failures don't quit because it is

162
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:10,610
getting hard success comes at a price

163
00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:13,700
and you must be willing to pay it this

164
00:07:10,610 --> 00:07:17,300
storm will pass and when it does if you

165
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:21,770
are still standing you will be stronger

166
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:23,960
for it don't quit you are already

167
00:07:21,770 --> 00:07:26,960
hurting why stop now

168
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,460
you have already come this far why give

169
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:34,160
in when it gets hard

170
00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:36,200
why don't say why me say try me it's not

171
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,730
always going to be easy there going to

172
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,060
be challenges there still going to be

173
00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:44,510
the curve balls thrown at me but I can't

174
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:45,950
become introverted I have to continue to

175
00:07:44,510 --> 00:07:47,600
get outside myself because when you're

176
00:07:45,950 --> 00:07:51,830
uncomfortable that's the only way you're

177
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:55,220
going to grow you're so busy in the

178
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:56,510
minutia and the the clutter that you're

179
00:07:55,220 --> 00:07:59,240
running through your life with your head

180
00:07:56,510 --> 00:08:02,120
down and it was the first man to sit and

181
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:05,810
evaluate and that process within itself

182
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:09,770
is rewarding peaceful to my soul of my

183
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:11,480
spirit but still still drives me because

184
00:08:09,770 --> 00:08:13,070
I still know I have such a long way to

185
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:17,300
go and I have to continue the process

186
00:08:13,070 --> 00:08:20,570
and never stop you want the hard times

187
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:23,090
you want the pain you want resistance

188
00:08:20,570 --> 00:08:26,870
because if there is resistance you are

189
00:08:23,090 --> 00:08:30,740
growing you are developing stop wishing

190
00:08:26,870 --> 00:08:33,349
it was easier which you were better as

191
00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:36,979
I'm walking onto the court who do I see

192
00:08:33,349 --> 00:08:40,010
I see Kobe Bryant already working out

193
00:08:36,979 --> 00:08:42,440

00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,120
my sneakers on and you ever get lost in

196
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:49,430
what you do where you end up it's been

197
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,680
an hour and a half I'm just I'm here I'm

198
00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:54,170

199
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:55,639
line I started working out and so I

200
00:08:54,170 --> 00:08:58,010

207
00:09:09,110 --> 00:09:14,300

game he drops 40 on us okay and after

217
00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:36,110

this guy guy I have to understand like

219
00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:42,019

220
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:44,480

221
00:09:42,019 --> 00:09:46,250

00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,380
like cuz I saw you come in and I don't

223
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:50,660
want you to know that it doesn't matter

224
00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:53,180
how hard you work that I'm willing to

225
00:09:50,660 --> 00:09:54,589

227
00:09:54,589 --> 00:09:57,410
nothing wrong with that like I'm not

228
00:09:55,850 --> 00:10:00,800
saying I dislike you as a person you

229
00:09:57,410 --> 00:10:02,209
just you inspire me to be better and it

230
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,510
was the first time I started to see this

231
00:10:02,209 --> 00:10:07,660
level of competitiveness I said I need

232
00:10:05,510 --> 00:10:11,480
to start doing more Wow

233
00:10:07,660 --> 00:10:14,209
if you think you are the only guy doing

234
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:17,449
an extra hour after practice you are

235
00:10:14,209 --> 00:10:20,769
wrong when you are doing an extra hour

236
00:10:17,449 --> 00:10:24,440
there is a guy doing an extra two hours

237
00:10:20,769 --> 00:10:28,190
think beyond your team it is easy to be

238
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:30,920
a big fish in a small pond it is time to

239
00:10:28,190 --> 00:10:32,600
think outside of your circle and compete

240
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,579
with the best of the best

241
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,100
compete with the guys who are getting

242
00:10:34,579 --> 00:10:39,260
more work than you you can convince

243
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:42,350
yourself you work hard when you compare

244
00:10:39,260 --> 00:10:43,750
yourself to someone in class or someone

245
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:46,420
on the team or

246
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:48,790
brother or your sister but how does your

247
00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:51,370
work ethic look when you compare

248
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:53,730
yourself to a Kobe Bryant or a Michael

249
00:10:51,370 --> 00:10:53,730
