you can read the quote once more is that when it feels scary to jump Ian that is exactly when you jump opportunity comes you can either take it or remain scared of it do you know how to do it you know exactly how to be you or how to be me you don't want to do it I'd rather be a failure than a coward so no matter how you feel get up and do what you're supposed to do do oh do not there is no try all of y'all got this wonderful gift but you got to use it the hero is the person who confronts horrible chaotic potential and tames it and makes something of it best way to contend with with problems with issues with adversity is action you got to take everything and throw it away you have to believe in one thing and that is yourself it's only one person it hurts when you say you're going to do something and you don't come through and that's your willpower take your seed take your gift get away from these people that's in your life that ain't doing nothing the worst prison in the world is having the talent and intelligence to achieve something great but lacking the courage to go out and do it otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life and that I can't do now is the only time that action can occur the present moment is the only time in which we can do anything so if not now when if I want to do something now is the perfect time to do it because it's literally the only time anything can be done is that the biggest cost in life isn't a failed experiment being wrong about a decision it is the 9 months the 10 years the 15 years you waste deciding whether to make the decision when I'm listening to people so many people want to tell me their old story I used to be this I used to do that we were this I want to know where you're going what's the new story what's the the new character quit telling me about the old character and the old chapters and the old versions of you who's the new character and at any time in our life honestly we walk out this door we can decide to be a new character we can literally step into a new role we can be a little more confident a little bit more bold a little bit more aggressive a little bit more caring I'm a normal person from a normal family from a normal home in a normal area just like you guys listen sometimes normal people can do extra things and I'm just proof of it right now for you to find greatness in yourself you're not going to find it by looking in a book or by even hearing me I may give you the spark but you've got to go inside yourself to find it but the problem is is that you have to face what you don't want to face in order to fix it and that's what I ask you where have you been where have you been up to this point you look at your life you look at what you produce if they giving you what what you want are you living on purpose are you living your dream are you acting on your ideas are you doing all you can do have you gotten comfortable are you procrastinating are you invading your own greatness is your life an adventure or is it boring Where Have You Been There are a few that are part of a rare breed I'm talking about something so rare that when we see it it Marvels us how is it that some people have a resiliency and a power within them that is uncommon and so unique so powerful that it stands up in the midst of a life that everyone else would have simply laid down in how do you find those Heroes those Gladiators you find them within you look within yourself and you realize that if someone else can do it so can I the circumstances around them may be different than yours but you are no less than what they are they breathe you breathe they walk you walk they move you move if they can do it you can do it but you got to believe that there's something in you just as powerful as what you see in them you know that you're the thing that can transcend your problems most fundamentally if you know you're the thing that if it faces the problems can transcend them then you have the faith that would enable you to take stock of who you are greatness is whatever the hell you dreamed of in your own mind you got to first see it you got to First create this Vision in your mind and it's not external it's the the vision and created is inside of you you see there are some people who are the heroes Heroes they are the veterans veteran they are the kings of resiliency because they refuse to be a peasant in life you have that same gene that same DNA you were born with a title called human and the experience that you go through as a human is not to humiliate you but to reveal that there's a scope of greatness within you you may start off the child of a peasant but you can end up the leader of a generation of great it's up to you what you choose to be take the seed of greatness plant it deep and then make sure you grow so large that it covers the family tree forever 99% of people in the world are convinced that they're incapable of achieving great things so they aim for the mediocre the level of competition is the fiercest for realistic goals paradoxically making them the most time and energy consuming if you are insecure guess what the rest of the world is too do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself you are better than you think consistency is absolutely critical you can have all of the others but if you're inconsistent it's going to really hurt you consistency means that dependable steady predictable work is always vastly superior to spurts or flashes of Brilliance and genius that the person who is like the tortoise who just plots steadily away old steady Edy is always the person who tends to be more successful than the one who flashes here and flashes there but cannot be counted on over the long term just keep stacking days just keep stacking days as long as you keep stacking days I promise you I promise you you will see the change but my coach used to always say everything that you want is on the other side of hard well it happens small until it happens big uh the reinvention occurs in the micro actions that you're taking every single day uh the tiny little things that that perhaps no one even notices that are creating muscle memory around new behaviors that perhaps are very uncomfortable to you tiny little things repeated over time is what produces dramatic change and it's like this curve you know it's like this very slow curve until it Asmat toes up and everyone wants to talk about the pivot moment when it goes Skyward but the truth is the real work is in the drudgery and the difficult Anonymous work of shoveling every single day it's crazy how large the perceived monsters can appear fear is a mile wide an inch deep and so you look at it it looks like this ocean and then you take the first step and you realize you don't drown cuz it's like oh there's ground underneath of this right there's other people who are more on my path and the friends you lose you gain new friends I would encourage you if you do feel that you're not going to die like you won't die and you might just live not only is it possible for you to have your dream but it's you the major key to your reaching your dream you're living up to your greatness you're making your contribution is you but the major key to your making things happen in your life is you let me tell you something what people think about you and the possibilities for your dream is none of your business we we are all great we all have greatness it just you got to find the courage you got to find the courage to put your B's headphones on and silence the noise out of this world and Def find it and and that's what it's all about [Music]
