WEBVTT 00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:03.570 if you don't believe in yourself then 00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:06.620 who's going to believe in you leave in 00:00:03.570 --> 00:00:09.630 yourself okay believe in your power 00:00:06.620 --> 00:00:15.360 that's where it starts out you got this 00:00:09.630 --> 00:00:19.410 so act like you got this you already 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:22.800 have it know that this is the time to be 00:00:19.410 --> 00:00:25.019 something of worth I think the first 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:30.420 thing is recognizing that you are not 00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:33.059 what you do inspire yourself into the 00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:35.010 right direction look find things of 00:00:33.059 --> 00:00:37.590 latch on to hook on to things that 00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:40.170 inspire you fill your eyes in your soul 00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:42.090 with them and know that this is your 00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:44.670 power this is the advantage you have 00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:47.070 over everyone else you fill yourself up 00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:50.550 with things that inspire you until you 00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:53.520 day after day after day being around 00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:57.030 people that inspire me not by their 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.980 words but moreso by their actions I hear 00:00:57.030 --> 00:01:01.949 a lot of people talk every single day 00:00:58.980 --> 00:01:03.629 and I was one of these guys and I 00:01:01.949 --> 00:01:05.850 started not to listen to what people 00:01:03.629 --> 00:01:07.560 said I started to watch how people acted 00:01:05.850 --> 00:01:10.979 and how they interact with other people 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:14.340 and that helped me set the bar for what 00:01:10.979 --> 00:01:17.479 I want to do just know that you can be 00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:20.900 your potential know that you can be this 00:01:17.479 --> 00:01:23.430 know that you have this in that tonight 00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:27.060 you're gonna fight 00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:34.560 a battle for your power a battle but 00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:37.410 knowing that you come out on top this is 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:39.390 this is what it's all about you know and 00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:41.670 I used to say all the time why me why me 00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:45.450 why me and also in that conversation 00:01:41.670 --> 00:01:46.920 changed it yeah like why not me like why 00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:49.229 not me and I think the more you can 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.300 start looking at facing adversity by 00:01:49.229 --> 00:01:53.040 saying why not me you approach things 00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:54.690 with a completely different mentality 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.430 than a person who feels like they're 00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:58.410 going to be a victim you start becoming 00:01:56.430 --> 00:02:01.080 the hunter again and the more you can 00:01:58.410 --> 00:02:04.500 stay with that hunter mentality it will 00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:07.770 pay dividends everyone wants to eat but 00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:11.180 few are willing to hunt who do you want 00:02:07.770 --> 00:02:16.350 to be how do you want people to see you 00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:19.950 stronger hard-working successful if you 00:02:16.350 --> 00:02:24.140 want people to see you like that you you 00:02:19.950 --> 00:02:27.330 need to change change and grow 00:02:24.140 --> 00:02:30.030 strengthen yourself build up your 00:02:27.330 --> 00:02:31.709 potential construct your future who are 00:02:30.030 --> 00:02:33.870 you going to be are you gonna be that 00:02:31.709 --> 00:02:35.340 person that wallows in their self-pity 00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:37.110 we're gonna be the person that says you 00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:39.150 know okay I did this wrong I did that 00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:40.799 wrong but how can I be better and I 00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:42.810 think that's what I talk about that 00:02:40.799 --> 00:02:46.430 relentless mentality to want to be 00:02:42.810 --> 00:02:46.430 better at just life in general 00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:50.990 now you have to find balance in life 00:02:49.220 --> 00:02:53.030 right so they're gonna be times where 00:02:50.990 --> 00:02:55.640 your your journeys gonna be down here 00:02:53.030 --> 00:02:57.350 and it's gonna be tough and the same 00:02:55.640 --> 00:02:59.510 when things get high you know you sign 00:02:57.350 --> 00:03:01.190 in a deal or you you know you have to be 00:02:59.510 --> 00:03:03.740 able to keep things in perspective and I 00:03:01.190 --> 00:03:06.590 think sometimes when I stop I force 00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:08.150 myself to assess okay whatever that were 00:03:06.590 --> 00:03:10.580 the benefits you know where the 00:03:08.150 --> 00:03:11.870 negatives how can i how can I turn this 00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:13.130 negative into a positive 00:03:11.870 --> 00:03:15.410 all right let me make sure that I don't 00:03:13.130 --> 00:03:17.150 get too high and I continue to keep my 00:03:15.410 --> 00:03:19.040 head down and work harder because I I 00:03:17.150 --> 00:03:20.810 want to achieve more if it's not for me 00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:23.060 for the people that work for me or for 00:03:20.810 --> 00:03:25.820 my girlfriend or my mom deserves better 00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:28.880 so I try to find that one thing because 00:03:25.820 --> 00:03:31.640 I'm very goal-oriented that I need to 00:03:28.880 --> 00:03:34.220 work towards and once I achieve that 00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:35.600 it's another goal and I don't want it to 00:03:34.220 --> 00:03:40.100 ever stop because that's what life 00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:43.070 should be be selfish and take control of 00:03:40.100 --> 00:03:46.070 your life take control of your abilities 00:03:43.070 --> 00:03:49.790 take control of your potential don't 00:03:46.070 --> 00:03:53.060 waste any more time take courage to 00:03:49.790 --> 00:03:56.810 provide for yourself to provide your 00:03:53.060 --> 00:04:00.470 potential grasp it no longer will you be 00:03:56.810 --> 00:04:04.240 afraid to make it to change it no one 00:04:00.470 --> 00:04:10.910 else is living your life take control 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:13.390 practice patience progress take yourself 00:04:10.910 --> 00:04:20.829 through the barrier 00:04:13.390 --> 00:04:22.210 I came back mentally right like that's a 00:04:20.829 --> 00:04:24.820 story like that's it that's a story that 00:04:22.210 --> 00:04:26.470 should be cherished for younger kids out 00:04:24.820 --> 00:04:27.910 there for older people out there doesn't 00:04:26.470 --> 00:04:30.040 matter you don't have to come back and 00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:31.780 do what you did before and do it 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.840 exponentially better you have to come 00:04:31.780 --> 00:04:37.000 back better as a person and and and 00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:39.880 really value that process that's a 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.669 comeback it's amazing when you have to 00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:44.110 be vulnerable to talk about issues that 00:04:42.669 --> 00:04:48.430 a lot of people aren't willing to talk 00:04:44.110 --> 00:04:50.590 about and I think choose is a really 00:04:48.430 --> 00:04:54.160 imperative word because a lot of people 00:04:50.590 --> 00:04:55.630 choose not choose not to you know follow 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.690 up on things that happened in their past 00:04:55.630 --> 00:05:01.740 or sometimes reflect I am where I am and 00:04:58.690 --> 00:05:01.740 only I can change it 00:05:02.780 --> 00:05:06.770 you are the only person that could 00:05:04.490 --> 00:05:08.090 change it at the end of day people can 00:05:06.770 --> 00:05:10.100 want to help you as much as they want to 00:05:08.090 --> 00:05:10.910 help you and I don't think complainings 00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:14.090 answer either 00:05:10.910 --> 00:05:15.410 I think vulnerability and and talking to 00:05:14.090 --> 00:05:17.210 people out what's actually going on in 00:05:15.410 --> 00:05:18.950 your life gets them invested in you and 00:05:17.210 --> 00:05:20.750 the more you listen to them get some 00:05:18.950 --> 00:05:23.120 invested you know you invested back in 00:05:20.750 --> 00:05:25.780 them and that's when a bond is formed 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.190 but that person can only take you so far 00:05:25.780 --> 00:05:30.320 you have to want to take yourself to a 00:05:28.190 --> 00:05:32.870 different place and if you don't have 00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:35.150 that then you're gonna stay stuck and a 00:05:32.870 --> 00:05:37.930 lot of people choose to stay stuck and 00:05:35.150 --> 00:05:37.930 we see it every single day 00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:42.930 you have to be vulnerable enough with 00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:46.400 yourself to accept the fact that did 00:05:42.930 --> 00:05:48.690 happen bad stuff happens to everybody 00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:49.949 you have to drive your own car and if 00:05:48.690 --> 00:05:52.169 you don't drive it someone's gonna drive 00:05:49.949 --> 00:05:53.520 it for you and that that other person is 00:05:52.169 --> 00:05:55.770 driving it may not be a person it may be 00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:57.539 a darkness that entity that we talked 00:05:55.770 --> 00:06:00.990 about that is easy to get lost and 00:05:57.539 --> 00:06:03.990 consumed it do have the power the power 00:06:00.990 --> 00:06:07.590 to become someone that even the deepest 00:06:03.990 --> 00:06:10.380 part of you trusts someone you trust to 00:06:07.590 --> 00:06:13.110 succeed become the person that you know 00:06:10.380 --> 00:06:15.060 you can be stand up for your future for 00:06:13.110 --> 00:06:19.560 your power and for you to be something 00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:21.180 full of the worth that is in you you 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.020 know we spent so much time talking to 00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:23.490 other people and giving other people 00:06:22.020 --> 00:06:25.020 advice on what they need to do in their 00:06:23.490 --> 00:06:26.550 life and sometimes you need sit down 00:06:25.020 --> 00:06:30.060 give yourself advice on what's what's 00:06:26.550 --> 00:06:32.490 best for you it's fulfilling to 00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:34.650 recognize that nobody is the perfect end 00:06:32.490 --> 00:06:36.930 product and everybody has stuff to work 00:06:34.650 --> 00:06:38.789 on but once you're able to say wow that 00:06:36.930 --> 00:06:41.310 that is something I need to work on and 00:06:38.789 --> 00:06:44.480 you feel yourself taking the steps 00:06:41.310 --> 00:06:48.169 necessary to be better at it 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.169 [Music] 00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:53.750 don't do something you do something 00:06:50.990 --> 00:06:56.480 because you have to do it do something 00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:59.780 to take a step out of the line move away 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:02.360 from the ordinary don't stop because of 00:06:59.780 --> 00:07:06.350 failures don't quit because it is 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:10.610 getting hard success comes at a price 00:07:06.350 --> 00:07:13.700 and you must be willing to pay it this 00:07:10.610 --> 00:07:17.300 storm will pass and when it does if you 00:07:13.700 --> 00:07:21.770 are still standing you will be stronger 00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:23.960 for it don't quit you are already 00:07:21.770 --> 00:07:26.960 hurting why stop now 00:07:23.960 --> 00:07:28.460 you have already come this far why give 00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:34.160 in when it gets hard 00:07:28.460 --> 00:07:36.200 why don't say why me say try me it's not 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.730 always going to be easy there going to 00:07:36.200 --> 00:07:41.060 be challenges there still going to be 00:07:37.730 --> 00:07:44.510 the curve balls thrown at me but I can't 00:07:41.060 --> 00:07:45.950 become introverted I have to continue to 00:07:44.510 --> 00:07:47.600 get outside myself because when you're 00:07:45.950 --> 00:07:51.830 uncomfortable that's the only way you're 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:55.220 going to grow you're so busy in the 00:07:51.830 --> 00:07:56.510 minutia and the the clutter that you're 00:07:55.220 --> 00:07:59.240 running through your life with your head 00:07:56.510 --> 00:08:02.120 down and it was the first man to sit and 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:05.810 evaluate and that process within itself 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:09.770 is rewarding peaceful to my soul of my 00:08:05.810 --> 00:08:11.480 spirit but still still drives me because 00:08:09.770 --> 00:08:13.070 I still know I have such a long way to 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:17.300 go and I have to continue the process 00:08:13.070 --> 00:08:20.570 and never stop you want the hard times 00:08:17.300 --> 00:08:23.090 you want the pain you want resistance 00:08:20.570 --> 00:08:26.870 because if there is resistance you are 00:08:23.090 --> 00:08:30.740 growing you are developing stop wishing 00:08:26.870 --> 00:08:33.349 it was easier which you were better as 00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:36.979 I'm walking onto the court who do I see 00:08:33.349 --> 00:08:40.010 I see Kobe Bryant already working out 00:08:36.979 --> 00:08:42.440 okay it's kind of cool it's Kobe stop 00:08:40.010 --> 00:08:44.870 Kobe you know and uh you know so I put 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:47.120 my sneakers on and you ever get lost in 00:08:44.870 -->

extra hour after practice you are 00:10:14.209 --> 00:10:20.769 wrong when you are doing an extra hour 00:10:17.449 --> 00:10:24.440 there is a guy doing an extra two hours 00:10:20.769 -->

00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:34.579 with the best of the best 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:37.100 compete with the guys who are getting 00:10:34.579 --> 00:10:39.260 more work than you you can convince 00:10:37.100 --> 00:10:42.350 yourself you work hard when you compare 00:10:39.260 --> 00:10:43.750 yourself to someone in class or someone 00:10:42.350 --> 00:10:46.420 on the team or 00:10:43.750 --> 00:10:48.790 brother or your sister but how does your 00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:51.370 work ethic look when you compare 00:10:48.790 --> 00:10:53.730 yourself to a Kobe Bryant or a Michael 00:10:51.370 --> 00:10:53.730 Shore
