-
Imagine if you will.
-
Being on your death bed
-
and standing around your bed
-
The dreams given you you by life
-
The ideas that you never acted on
-
The talents, the gifts, the abilities that yo never use,
-
and there they are standing around your bed
-
Looking at you with large angry eyes
-
Saying: We came to you!
-
And Only YOU could have given us life!
-
And now we must die with you forever.
-
and the question is
-
if you died
-
This very moment
-
What will die with you?
-
What dreams? What Ideas? What Talents?
-
What greatness that you showed up to bring
-
Don't allow fear of failure
-
and the attractiveness of playing it safe in life
-
To draw you in
-
You can't get out of life alive
-
You've got to die to leave here
-
You have something special
-
You have greatness within you
-
You were born phenomenal
-
Listen To me
-
You were literally born phenomenal
-
Like the whole process
-
Like, there are five million options in the womb; we’re not talking about one sperm cell and one egg.
-
There are five million options and out of five million options you made it.
-
They’ve got to make their way through a complex series of environments
-
in a kind of warfare.
It is warfare.
-
Innately, innately everything about you is great, everything about you is phenomenal.
-
But the problem is you have consciously chosen to be average.
-
You are average in school, you are average at your work place,
-
everything you do is average and not because its average but because you made a decision.
-
You made a choice to be average – why?
Because the people around you are average
-
or maybe you grew up in an average environment, or went to an average school, or you work for an average company. So you decided…
-
you decided to go against who you are.
You decided to go against who you are.
-
So that’s why you go to the basketball game,
-
that’s why you spend hours watching your favorite athlete
-
like Michael, and you watch them… you watch them… there’s something about this attracted
-
to that greatness because there is something in you that’s great.
-
That’s why, that’s why you put those headphones on and you just shut the whole world out
-
and you listen to your favorite artist – you listen to them sing or you listen to them rap
-
and deep down inside you hurt when you listen because it should be you!
-
You are attracted to greatness because greatness is all in you.
-
But it’s easier to watch greatness, it’s easier to go see greatness then it is to put in the time,
-
to put in the energy, to discipline yourself,
to sacrifice – it’s easier!
-
And so that’s why you average, and so you’re frustrated
-
because you’re not living like you should live.
-
No – don’t have what you should have,
you’re not being who you should be.
-
I would hate to live and die,
-
and never know what would happen
-
if I ever committed myself to anything.
-
Bet you’ve never seen what you could be,
-
if you through your whole self
-
at your dream.
-
It’s time for you to look within yourself
-
and decide that I’m in charge of my destiny,
-
I’m in charge here.
-
And when you decide, I’m going to do it,
-
the universe will yield to you – and life will never be the same again.
-
Live your dream.
-
The kingdom of god is within man.
-
Not one man nor a group of men,
but in all men.
-
In you, you the people have the power.
-
The power to create machines, the power to create happiness.
-
You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
-
And that if you decide that my life deserves my developing, this is what I do well,
-
and becoming the best at it and mastering myself, and seeing what I have within me,
-
I’ll grant you, you will never ever be without.
-
I’m telling you, greatness is here!
-
Greatness is upon you and you better act like it!
