until it has a plan. You can dream of the kind of life you want, you can dream of

the kind of change you want, you can dream of the kind of future you want but

until you wake up and begin to plan to get there it will only be a dream. If you

want to be the best you must be obsessed with it. Getting better

isn't a hack or a trick or a one change that you need to make. Getting better is

a campaign. It's a campaign, it's a daily, a weekly, it's an hourly fight. An

incessant fight that doesn't stop against weakness and against temptation

and against laziness, it's a campaign of discipline. The campaign of hard work and

dedication it's waking up early and going to bed late and grinding out every

second in between, every single day. I believe that I can create whatever I

want to create if I can put- put my head on it right, study it, learn the

patterns and you know, I just it's hard to put into words. Real metaphysical

esoteric nonsense but I feel very strongly that we are who we choose to be.

The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I'm not

afraid to die on a treadmill, right? I will run. You will not be outworked. I

will not be be outworked. Right. Period. You know you might have

more talent than me, you might be smarter than me

you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in

nine categories but if we get on the treadmill together, right? There's two

things. You're getting off first yeah or I'm gonna die. It's really that

simple, right. So let's go back to the question about what if people block me

out. It's going to be two options. Yeah. I'm gonna get back in or I'm gonna

be dead. Yeah, right. It's like you're not going to

outwork me it's a- it's a very, it's such a simple, basic concept. It's the- the guy who

is willing to hustle the most is gonna be the guy that just gets that loose

ball, you know he got that, oh he got two, he got - ooh god he's hustling grabbed

that one, that was gonna be out of bounds but he saved it back in. It's like, the

commodity that I see, the majority of people who aren't getting the places

they want or aren't achieving the things that they want in this business, is

strictly based on hustle. It's strictly based on being outworked, it's strictly

based on missing crucial opportunities. I honestly- I honestly believe that if

you're, if you're focused and passionate and driven you can achieve anything you

want to achieve in life because, I honestly believe that because you'll

figure it out, you know what I mean.

We have control of our minute, our hour our day, our week, our month and our year.

Stop running around being on the receiving end of whatever people want to

dump on you. You showed up you accepted that invite you invited these people to

your house you're in a relationship with that man you're in a relationship with

that woman. That's you so how do you feel at the end of your night?

How easy and how convenient is it for us to blame

everything and everybody for the things that we have going on in our lives. There

is a such thing as you being a positive and a great person with the best of

intentions towards everybody and shit is rough and you just can't get a break but

most of you most of you are waking up every day looking for pain, dysfunction

drama, unemployment, being broke, struggling, dropping every excuse in the

book about your childhood and the problems and dysfunction that you grew up in

that's stopping you from becoming successful. You don't like your friends

so why are you still with them? You don't trust your managers

agents and lawyers so why are they still there? Do you really expect your life and

career to be any different from messing with the same things people and situations.

That's all I'm saying. Are the things that you're doing the people that you're hanging out with

and the places and the circles that you're traveling in does that reflect a person

that actually loves themself? If you love yourself why would you fuck with those type of people?

You know what they're saying about you behind your back you know they're

jealous and envious of who you are and the things that you got going on

in your life, in your career. You know that they don't like you and they've made it clear

they've sent you every sign imaginable that they could possibly send you and because

you're so desperate to have people around you and in your

life you continue to go back you continue to show up to everything they

invite you to knowing what they're saying about you.I'm not preaching

separatism. I don't want a bunch of people to just be alone at home doing nothing

with no friends no family and nothing to do I'm saying that at this point you are

old enough and mature enough to understand the difference in good people

and bad people and when you're hanging out with negative dark and dysfunctional

people you cannot expect yourself to go to sleep at night and rest. You cannot

expect yourself to feel good about your day when you're including negative and

dysfunctional people in your day.

Stop being a lazy person that's full of excuses, sitting around on the pity party

coming up with every excuse in the world as to why you ain't winning. You are the

reason you're not winning you keep messin with negative evil and

dysfunctional people and expecting positive results. It's time you get off

the pity party stop complaining about being out of

shape when you never go to the gym stop looking at your stomach when you get out

of the shower and your body and complaining about the way you look when

you're eating everything in sight and never going to the gym. You are the

reason you look the way you look, you're the reason you're unemployed, you're the

reason why your surroundings are so dysfunctional and negative. You could

still be in the hood, broke and living a peaceful life. It's a choice. We are being

raised in a generation of people that come up with every excuse in the book as

to why they are not winning. You have that as a choice. You actually do. You

don't wake up in the morning and negativity, dysfunction, problems and

issues just randomly pop up. These are the people that you have decided to

include in your life so the outcome of your day, your hour, your minutes, your

week, your month and your year is always draining, always dysfunctional and

always crazy because these are the type of people you've decided to include in

your day to day life. You got 24 hours in a day. When you go to sleep at night how are

you going to feel about your day, all depends on who you decide to include in

your day. Stop running around acting as if you don't have a choice, you do have a

choice. Excuses sound best to the people

that's making them up. You got every

excuse in the world. That's why you ain't moving, that's why ain't nothing change and

nothing will change because you have convinced yourself that everything is

wrong, everything is neva - negative and nothing will change and guess what? It

won't change. Change your mind and it will change your life. Change, if nothing

around you changes, change the things that are around you. I'm tired of it. I'm

frustrated with the amount of people that are not successful because they

have thought their way into a depression you have thought your way into

negativity and misery you have thought your way into holding on to a dude or a

girl that you broke up with a year or two ago and you're still sad and miserable and they've moved on with

their life. It's all in the mind change your mind and it will change your life you just

have to you just have to wake up you just have to break that negative spirit

you have to break through all of that shit that your in care of. I don't want to

to I don't feel sorry for you you feel sorry for yourself that's the problem

even when positive people are trying to give you all this good energy you have

tricked your mind to turn every positive thing that they say into something

negative every time they say anything to

try and motivate you and inspire you you you turn every negative thought and

every you turn every positive thought every positive intention everything that

they trying to to boost your spirits up you flip it shake it manipulate it and

you if you are so determined to be negative and miserable.

It's unbelievable. So what you grew up with them? So what they're childhood friends?

So what they're family? We have a responsibility to walk in the

direction of peace I want to laugh I want to smile, I wanna enjoy myself. I

actually want to feel good about the people that are around me because you're

inviting me doesn't mean I want to show up because you're calling me doesn't

mean I'm going to call you back because you want me to be there doesn't mean

that I want to be there because we're family because we're friends because we

grew up together doesn't mean that I want to be a part of any and everything

that you want me to be a part of. Why? Because my experience with you hasn't

necessarily made me feel good about my my life or my experience at the end of

every night because you go to sleep at night doesn't mean you're resting. Because you

close your eyes at night and you are asleep physically doesn't mean that you're

actually resting and the reason that you don't rest is because while you're awake

everything and everybody thats in and around your life is so full of issues problems insecurities

dysfunction negativity your mind is and your spirit is in turmoil. Issues

problems, arguments, yelling, screams dysfunction I want you to stop playing

the victim you are not the victim you decided that those are your friends you

decided that those are the people that

you want to spend time with you decided this is what you wanted to do with your

day when you get invited to places doesn't mean you have to show up no one

wants to be alone why spend the rest of

your life being miserable frustrated and

insecure? Not really feeling as good as you have a responsibility to feel

feeling good isn't just an opportunity feeling good is a responsibility that we

all have for ourselves and guess what I actually don't care what you say about

me I don't remember the last time I lost sleep over a hater and the things that

people are running around saying blogs websites conversations tweets and I don't

lose sleep over haters. Why? Because I know exactly how I feel about me and

even if something appears to be very different than what it really is I don't

even mind that you're talking shit about the things that you're assuming that's

really going on the question is are you just going to

look at this video and decide wow that was some powerful shit and do the same thing?

But it's a new day... it's a new day.

The most important commodity in this world is time. Time is

priceless. Time is the essence of what you do each and every day. See a lot of

people show up at a job and they work and work and work and they don't like it

or they show up at school and they study study study, take tests and don't like it.

But for some of us we've went to a place to where we realize that all of that is

for something to make us better. That's a mindset. That's not despising small

things, that's realizing that a higher power is in charge to get you on a path

and with your freedom of choice you can make yourself even greater. Success is

not overnight. It's studying, it's learning, it's growing, it's falling down

and getting back up, it's failing and failing forward. It's not quitting, it's

late nights, early mornings, no alarm clock, passion waking you up, it's

something inside and innate ability that makes you feel like 'I am something

and I'm gonna be something.' Never, never let anybody tell you different.

So I need you to believe you can move past depression, anxiety, fear and all

these emotions that come in that are not part of what you're gonna be one day. I

know it's tough but time and time again, the tougher it is, the better it's gonna

make you. We can't shy away from the things that

are tough because those are the things that make us get better and better and better.

That's practice. That's in and out, that's rep after rep, time after time, lap after

lap, lesson after lesson, paper after paper, book after book, training our mind

to get better each and every day. That's in you, you have built been built for

this.

You can't quit. You can do it. Not depression, not learning disabilities, not

stress, not family, not finances, not being the smartest one in the class, not being

a great test taker, you can do this! You have been built for

this. Nothing just happens. You are in this situation for a reason and you are

built for this. This is your time. This is your moment.

This is your destiny. So stop wasting time. Well for me, I mean ya, you visualize

where you want to be and what you want to accomplish and you kind of get lost in

the process of day-to-day, you know grinding it out working, pulling all nighters

if you have to, um you know it's just about not losing vision and not

losing sight of what you're, what you're trying to accomplish no matter what

hurdles you have to go through so I think that kind of relates to

whatever you're doing, whatever you know major you've chosen, or what you're

interested in so for me and basketball and it's about you know, visualizing
