"Self Motivation"

    "Self Motivation Is the Key to Success"

   

   Many of you are going through storms may be a storm on  your job storm in your marriage stone with your Kids don't get parents thrown with your physical being smart with your finances storms that we don't Invite storms that come from people we think to love us storms that come from seemingly nowhere

But there they are 

you have no say-so in what happens to "You"

But you have a say-so in what you do 

about it, you have a determining voice into where your life can go

See life is 10%  what happens to

 it 90%

What you do about it you get a setback

You get thrown off course you lost your M

ama

That's dirt but show me something 

that has grown into something beautiful

That didn't have no dirt on

Why are you here and where are you going

You look at your life you look at what 

you produce

Is it giving you what you want 

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?

Are you surrounding yourself with people 

that can Nourish you?

Are you Challenging yourself? 

Are you Experimenting are you Learning something 

Different?

You will not pause

You were progress

You will not expire

You will evolve 

You will not crumble in the midst of a crisis

You may be neck-deep in what seems to be a

 catastrophic storm of chaos

But I pray that at this moment you will 

find 

Emotions of Calm, peace, hope, and faith

The courage The expectancy you need 

to live and not die to move up and not stay where you are you get what you see

Let those challenges 

raise you up let them elevate you

Let their demands and their trials 

make you stronger

Let the adversity you face today

Turn you into a better person tomorrow

Life is suffering this is true and it's

Worse than that because it's suffering

Contaminated by malevolence 

that's the baseline but the optimistic 

part is that you are so damn tough 

You can actually not only deal with that you can improve 

it

Sometimes we have to stand up inside 

ourselves     

Sometimes we have to fight ourselves sometimes you 

have a dream and goal that you want to achieve and 

you say Oh I can't do that you got to 

tell yourself to shut up don't tell me I can't do that

sometimes you've got to talk to yourself 

Oh I can do this

Oh I will do it I have got to do this 

what you think about your dream and I 

want you to increase your dream

I said you have something special you 

have greatness in you you have the ability to do more

Then you can ever begin to imagine 

greatness

It's a choice

Show your character show me what you are 

Made of

Prevail even when no one believes you 

Can't

Even when you have no right to believe

Things will turn around trust

Things will turn around

Never give up show your character

I am weak in all those ways

That I listed I am weak

But I don't accept that I don't accept

That I 

am what I am 

That is what I'm doomed to be no 

I don't accept that I'm fighting I'm always fighting I'm struggling and 

I'm scrapping 

and I'm kicking and clawing at those weaknesses to change them stop them

See there's a book being written about 

your life

Isn't there someone somewhere who has taken 

Inventory of your life

Don't compare your chapter 1 to 

someone's chapter 10.

You write your own book and at any a 

moment in your life

You can decide that you want to make 

this the new chapter

You're trying literally in your life you can 

turn the page and those previous chapters are your old book it's like old testament new testament old story news story they're connected

They're related but you can flip the 

page and you can have a whole new story

If you decide right now I am literally 

turning my breakthrough is I turn the page and in this second

I start to write the best chapters of the 

life you could decide to do that

You're never ever ever ever going to 

feel like doing the things you need to

do 

in order to have what you want you're always going to need to push yourself

you're 

always going to need to parent yourself

so

What is the net advice on this what what 

is the bottom line

The bottom line is no one's coming 

no one no one's coming to push you no one's coming to tell you to turn the tv off no one's coming to tell you to get out the door and exercise nobody's coming to tell you to 

  Apply for that job that you've always dreamt about nobody's coming to write the    business plan for you

It's up to you and because you're only 

ever going to do the things that you feel like doing right now or that feel good right now unless you understand that you've got to parent yourself you got to push yourself

You're not going to make your dreams 

come true you're just not

We're not wired that way you weren't 

born that way you weren't that way when you were growing up and you're certainly not that way as an adult and there's a tremendous amount of liberation that comes when you accept the fact that you're always going to need to give yourself a push

You know because when I first started 

making money and it was you know my salary or my earnings were published

All over the place, I mean the first year

I was like really did I make that much 

money oh my god um it was very difficult for me to figure out

Where my boundaries were because

I'd grown up poor and didn't have 

anything so it's easy when you don't have anything and people ask you for money and they say I need 500 I don't have it because I'm just trying to get my rent paid

It's harder when you're multi-billion 

dollar salary is now in the paper and you get a lot of friends and cousins you didn't have before

So how do you set boundaries for 

yourself I was having trouble setting boundaries myself

Don't try that now I figured it out

So what I learned was is that oh 

the reason why people keep showing up is that my intention is to make them think that I'm such a nice person that you can ask me for anything you can get me to do anything I'm going to say yes !!!

Put yourself in a state like someone 

said this morning because their phone went off they were mortified over a phone I said really um you will put yourself in a state when the other 

person really 

isn't even thinking about you

So learning that I could specifically 

determine for me what the boundaries were for me

What I wanted to do give my money 

give my time give of my service to who I wanted to give it to when I did that I get to make that decision and just because you get a hundred requests a week doesn't mean you have to try to fulfill all of that

Just because you have all of these 

demands on your time and on you don't mean that

You 

have to say yes you get to decide because you're the master of your fate the captain of your soul as William Ernest Henley said in Invictus and understanding that really changed the meaning of my life

That 

I was not no longer driven by what other people wanted me to do but took charge of my own destiny making choices based upon what do I feel is the next right move for me not only is it possible for you to have your dream but it's necessary that you go for what is yours in the universe and once you learn by falling on your face that's how you learn

You learn by trying to create a light 

bulb over and over and over again

Recognize the excuses are not 

valid they're conjured up they're fabricated they're lies

The moment you start feeling whole you're the 

feeling begins and when you love yourself and you love all of life you'll create an equal now you're positive

But you can see how much time there is 

available if you organize your day

So you got to work hard there was not 

one single minute that I wasted and this is why I'm standing here today

If you don't know exactly what you want 

or you let yourself get beyond that with something general you're not going to achieve it

So confidence is something I taught 

myself over the years

I started becoming okay with who I am I 

became the best version of me

I've seen plenty of thousands 

of guys

I've seen plenty of talented guys 

getting in the mouth and they didn't ruin it 

I've seen plenty of thousands of dollars 

get crushed in the face and go back to the sidelines they stand without their coaching they don't want it no how many skills can I acquire that have

utility put that utility to the test in 

service of something greater than myself

That is for me the purpose of life now I 

don't actually want to know Kung Fu

That is not the mission that I'm here to 

live but I knew that I had to identify my mission so what was going to be my mission

Successful people fail a lot 

they fail a whole lot more than they succeed

You need to learn to think because 

thinking makes you act effectively in the world thinking

makes you win the battles you undertake

and those could be battles for good

things

failure isn't permanent

falling isn't permanent

you get right back up and keep going and

this time 

you're going to be stronger wiser and 

you'll be more driven than ever 

and for every 10 failures you'll and 

one success now self-discipline

As the very term implies comes from the 

self 

it comes from you 

it comes from when you make a decision 

and he told me this these are the exact 

words he said

Solo living means doing what you love to

do 

and if I have to fall here and there to

do what I want to do in life

then so be it...…!!!
