when life gets hard…remember that’s when you’re levelling up - POWERFUL Morning Motivation Speech

you think when it comes to success like getting there making it achieving it the way that you see somebody that's achieved it now however you define that and you look at them and you think oh my god they're amazing you think you're gonna think the same thing about yourself and you won't the thing that you'll resent isn't whether or not you make it the thing that you'll resent is now that you know you can will you actually try trying is what you're going to judge yourself on your family won't weep for you if you don't succeed two things will happen on your deathbed if you failed you really went for something and you failed one they will all mourn that you weren't able to live your life because you were so myopically focused on the goal that you forgot to enjoy the journey and somewhere along the way you stopped loving you stop loving them you stop loving yourself because all you could see was succeeding getting that thing the tick on the paper box and you lost your way that's possibility number one possibility number two is they're like hey this tribe and it was inspiring and just to see them go day after day after day in the face of so much defeat but to have the will and determination to keep going winston churchill said and i quote success is going from failure to failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm doesn't matter if you win that's not success the success is going from the failure to the failure to the failure and still being excited to show up it's like this is how i liken success success is like love you know the beautiful part about love getting the sh kicked out of you and then coming back for more that's so hopeful that's so optimistic to be like whoa i just had my ass handed to me and yet i want to be vulnerable again i want to go through this again i want to open myself up to this i want to be touched by that i want to feel that people can get behind that man we can get excited about that we want to be friends with people like that we want to feel that in our own lives that willingness to to have tasted defeat and still come in open and not jaded how beautiful is that [Music] you know i believe that self-love is very important know i'm always talking about loving oneself i never trust anybody who tells me he or she loves me if the person doesn't love herself or himself [Music] so i like to look at self-love it is very important that it comes from within that you have a sense of yourself so that when you walk into an office you don't go alone bring your people with you bring everybody who has loved you life is always happening for you not to you if you believe what's happening to you of course it is you know you look for what's wrong what's wrong is always available but if you train yourself to look for what's right and you find it you won't be the person sitting on the curb crying or feeling sorry or you'd be like i'm gonna crush it and i'm gonna find the good in this it's not good on the surface but it becomes good when you do something with it many people in this world that are wanting waiting saying asking begging hoping will someone help me cross we all have the power to be a point of light head down endurance and that'll get you through bad times that endurance it's it's such an under represented virtue that ability to trudge forward under a [Music] unfairly burdensome load is a testament to character if you can and then it's something that should be encouraged and valued i mentioned courage and i would i would like to say something else about that finding courage in the leaders and in you who will become leaders uh courage is the most important important of all the virtues because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently you see you can't be consistently kind of fair or humane or generous not without courage because if you don't have it sooner or later you'll stop and say ah the threat is too much the the difficulties to to hide the challenges is too great when you are able to align who you are who you've become in the world with really what you've come to do in the world when your personality serves the soul the more you allow your pain to render you inactive the worse the outcome including exacerbation of the pain and depression is a pain disorder and so that's very much worth thinking about too it's like move forward move forward move forward it's like one bloody foot in front of the other up the hill [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] so [Applause] you
