KEEP FIGHTING DON'T FAIL THE TEST - Motivational Speech by Andrew Tate | Andrew Tate Motivation

I've always been a believer in the struggles men have in their minds and I've always spoke about it and I've suffered with them myself and this is one of the things when I say like depression isn't real people say oh you don't understand let me let me counter that argument by saying I understand very well me convincing myself and me deciding that depression isn't real is how I prevent myself from ever feeling depressed and I can oh I've only constructed that mental model because I've been in situations in my life where I felt depressed I'm not saying depression isn't real because I've never felt depressed I'm saying depression isn't real because I've been very depressed that people don't understand where my mindset comes from I understand struggle and mental health and all these things and yeah jail was another chance to certainly touch on them because in jail you can in sorry in real life when you have my kind of resource you can distract yourself very easily if you're sitting around and feel a bit mopey I'm sitting here and I'm a bit like oh I can literally make a phone call and 45 minutes be in the air on my way to anywhere on the planet with whoever I want to do anything I want so you can distract yourself I'm not saying it fixes all mental health but it distracts you whereas in jail you are stuck alone with your thoughts and it was certainly a test of my mental resolve and I would say that I passed I did well I there was never a day where I broke down there's never a day where I couldn't handle it there was never a day where I was you know I wasn't polite to the staff I was very nice to everybody there was never a day I couldn't hack it it was certainly a test and also you know Tristan said this I don't want to take his words but he's true you go through life telling him when you're the baddest ************ there is sooner or later someone's going to test you you walk in the pub and you say I'm the hardest man there is sooner or later someone's going to fight you sooner or later and life's like that you want to be the top g and you want to go through life and say I'm the top g then God's going to say well we're going to see if you deserve to call yourself the top g or not we're going to put you in a Romanian jail cell we're going to leave you there you're not going to know how long you're in there for and the biggest mind **** is I thought I was gonna be in there for years I didn't I had no idea everyone's telling me years years years I thought I was gonna be in there for years so maybe God was just seeing he was watching me and he was having a look and saying you want to call yourself top g let's see and I like to think I passed that test so it is what it is but yeah I agree with you in terms of mental struggles yeah they exist for all men and I also think that's one of the reasons I'm so large I talk about those a lot I talk about those things a lot with men and I help men with them and I try and say to men overall that life as a man is pretty ---- and you're gonna feel ---- for a pretty large percentage of the time but you're only gonna ever escape that if you just perform regardless you have to perform when you feel bad as a man you can't say I will perform when I feel good it doesn't work that way because our heads are too complicated and life's too complicated there's too much on our shoulders we have too much stress too much pressure our heads are fucked you have to be the kind of person who says I perform regardless I didn't miss a single day's training I didn't miss a please I didn't miss a thank you I'm not saying I was happy I'm saying I did exactly what I was supposed to do the worst thing about prison I think for everybody else because there's a lot of men in there who are crying a lot of men who are having mental breakdowns I think it is the problem I didn't have which is knowing that if you're a normal man you go to jail and they just pick you up and you go to jail who pays the rent who's feeding your kids who's your wife sleeping like life gets hard for all the external things you can no longer control things that were your responsibility I was lucky I didn't have those problems and when I spoke to people most people's issues were things that were happening on the outside and I felt really good knowing that my life is set up in a way where even if I'm plucked from it it operates and I set that up because I thought they were going to kill me even to this day if they shoot me right now everyone around everything would be okay I don't have to exist for my life to so that was fantastic about jail the worst thing about jail I mean the cockroaches started off really bad but after a few days it's amazing how quickly you use the cockroaches just in your bed you just like kick them out the way that was kind of bad but um not knowing when I'm gonna get out that was bad having my name slandered all around the world that was bad not knowing how people are reacting to it like my first time month in jail I didn't know if people believed this garbage or not I had no access to the internet I didn't see anything there was a lot about it that was hard but um I have to believe it's gonna make me a better person why else would I why else did I go what did I go for to waste three months to stare at a wall for three months is that why I went to jail no I must have gone to jail to become a better person I must have learned something I have to self-analyze and find the lessons and pick it out and I think a lot of people don't do that with all the bad situations in your life regardless of whether you went to jail or a woman left you or your business failed whatever it is you need to analyze the entire situation and say okay what can I learn there's there's a big pile of ---- here but there must be a little bit of gold inside so I've just tried to look at it as a massive learning experience and perhaps as a coping mechanism but I've found a lot of lessons which I'm implementing and uh and there's a very strong chance they're gonna put me back not because I'm guilty because I haven't done anything wrong but because I'm currently in the middle of a judicial system and I'm in the judicial system of a country I don't truly understand the language I don't understand the judicial system I don't understand the charges against me I don't understand how any of this can be legal I don't understand how where it's come from I don't understand the evidence they believe they have and here I am stuck in this process and who knows how it's gonna end the moments in your life that you feel by people by your own circumstances by struggles we all get knocked down in every aspect of life life has a way of humbling you life will make you shut up life will mute you you're gonna feel awkward and stupid and dumb sometimes at times you won't want to come out the house at times you'll be feeling bad and don't know why what's wrong I don't know just leave me alone you will cry you're gonna fail and you're gonna be in your head you could be saying I'm not good enough but it's okay it goes with the territory it's a part of the deal the real challenge of growth comes when you get knocked down you got to get messed up sometimes you got to get dirty you got to get your feelings hurt you got to get disappointed you're gonna ask somebody for some money he gonna tell you no that's just dirt how you handle it that's where the growth takes place you want to take responsibility for your life I got me here I can get me out of this if somebody came and knock you down there ain't nothing you can do about it but if I come back a week later you still on the ground we got a problem you can decide that you're going to change that you're not going to be a wimp the way you were born what happened to you is not see you get tripped out because you got dirt on you but you need dirt on you to develop if you get knocked down there's nothing you can do about it but getting back up has every single thing to do with you don't you give up on your dream don't you do it don't you do it don't you do it see you get mad when haters come your way you get mad because you get a setback you get mad because they talking about you that's dirt you are not the only person that's been through a divorce boo get over it you're not the first one they let go of you won't be the last one the question is what you're going to do about it I'm not going to be a volunteer victim you can decide that you're going to stand up to life I just need you to identify what your pain is and then I need you to ask yourself what you're going to do about it and maybe you've been knocked down in your life and it seems like hey the fight is over it is not over unless you quit you can permit it to let it hold you down or you can decide I'm not going to let that happen to me you have a choice to either give up or get up you gotta get gritty man you gotta develop some dog in you you can decide I'm gonna work on myself and develop myself I'm going to empower me you have to learn to turn and look at every obstacle as an opportunity I will not give up every time I get knocked down I will get back up and I will succeed I love myself enough not to be trapped in the same doggo spot for the rest of my life no pain no gain pain has a purpose your pain ain't permanent it might last for a second it might last for a minute it might last for months but sooner or later if you do not surrender if you do not give up it will subside don't go through it grow through it as pain leaves your body guess what's gonna take its place success you cannot build anything that won't bring a battle and if you're going through a battle right now it's only because you're building something stop running from your pain and embrace your pain what will you do with your pain will you let it break you or will you let it redefine your pain is going to be a part of your prize I challenge you to push yourself you want affirmation look yourself in the mirror and say I think I can I know I can you've got to decide to be relentless you've got to decide never to give up do whatever it takes you your biggest driver you've got to find some reasons within yourself that will give you the stamina when life catches you on the blind side to keep on calling and coming back again and again and again you see the fight's not over if you've been knocked down it's only over if you quit because life is a fight it's a fight for integrity your goals your dreams your ambitions so every morning I've got to wake up and I've got to fight you're going to quit or you're going to make it to your silver you're going to quit or you're going to make it to your goal so you can stop waiting for it you can stop wishing for it and you can get on with the rest of your life I gotta fight for my dreams I gotta fight for character I gotta fight for integrity when you get to the point where enough is enough doors start opening opportunities start happening but what you cannot do is you cannot quit doing the process all I'm saying is don't quit I didn't say don't rest mentally you can stay connected but to win fights you gotta have stamina you gotta be ready to fight and bounce back you better not feel sorry for yourself you better get up and fight if some of you are not successful because every single time you run up against a trial you stop I need you to match whatever effort the enemy is putting up match the doggone efforts I'm going to think I'm going to execute and I'm going to win and that's how you get to the next level you cannot give up because it ain't what you see you cannot give up it's when you have nothing left it's when you've depleted all your money when you have nothing left that's when it's showtime at the end of pain is your promise so stop crying about it and use your energy to get through it when you find a way out of no way when you find breath that you don't have when you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe that's when you find a way I cannot stop what happens to me but I can dictate how I respond I invested too much to quit so when life happens I'll just sit there and cry I've brought back because all of us if you live long enough will go through a period of feeling so overwhelmed sooner or later you feel oh god just get me out of this I wish I could tell you it's gonna get easier I wish I could tell you that but that's not the truth the truth is you gotta find something within life don't whip your butt life is gonna bully you stop crying let it hit you but don't let it punk you and when you find out what your why is when you find your why you find a way to make it happen and I'm telling you right now don't give up don't give in get through it I don't care if you sick I don't care what you're going through if you not yet as long as that breath in your nostril you still in the game you're gonna be here one day but you'll never get here if you give up as long as that breath in your nostril you still can win and finally guys you gotta want to succeed as bad as you wanna breathe and you will promise me that from this day forward you will not be defeated somebody holler I'm not dead yet don't count me out I may be sick I may be crazy I may be confused but I'm not dead yet some people live in the cemetery of their failures and I want to say to somebody who's fallen or everybody hates you and everybody walked away from you don't live where they left you not somebody tell them I will not die here whatever it takes for me to get out I gotta get out of here I will not die on drugs I will not die in depression I will not die where you met me number one motivating thing for me and I'm just being honest was I was sick and tired of being poor my mother was poor my father was poor my brothers and sisters were poor I lived in a poor neighborhood we lived in a poor house and I would say you know like at Christmas time my father would put us in the car and take us out to the suburbs to see the Christmas lights and I would see these houses man I told my father I said damn I said why don't we get one of these houses he said boy ain't got no money for this kind of house he said but if you work hard you can make some money you can buy you one of these houses my motivation was to buy a big house so I could put up Christmas lights and I always dreamed of buying my mother and father a real house and before they died I was able to do all that you have to find a dream that's so big that it overwhelms all of your fears and causes you to never give up always go to something bigger than yourself I'm wondering if you've been defeated because you have been giving yourself wholly to something that was too small to hold are you trying to take a bath in a bowl are you not guilty of immersing yourself into things that were too small to hold your vision why you keep imagining buying a house why do you keep imagining getting rich one day why do you keep imagining that because God is talking to you you gotta start believing in your imagination
