We have as humans

We have something that no animal has

And what is called is, imagination

And what imagination allowed you to do

it allows you to see it before actually happened

What I mean by that, I need you to go 10 years to the future, 20 years to the future

And I need you to see yourself actually becoming the person you want to be

you gotta live in the forward

block the whole world out

put some music, some classical music, right? The piano music I don't know what you need to listen to

but I want you to take 30 minutes

go in the closet, go in to basement, go to the library, go to room alone.

And I want you to take 30 minutes, and I want you to imagine

I want you to take 30 minutes, and I want you live in the forward

See the problems, I'm talking to some of you guys, the problem that you have, is

you live in the future and you live in the present

and you keep talking about the mistakes,

and you keep talking about the past

and you keep talking about your trials

and you keep talking about your situation. And I want you to know, that everybody has ever been great,

everybody has the obstacle to overcome. They had the barrier that they had to climb

there is no individual who ever reach success and he hasn't go through obstacle or barrier to get there

I need you to live in the future, I need you to go in your future every single day

I need you to go in your future, I need you to see what you're going to be

Listen to me: What you are to be, you are now becoming.

So, you got to use your imagination and your imagination, has to take you beyond the pain

and your imagination, has to take you beyond the trouble

and your imagination, has to take you to the next level

we have to see ourselves there, long before happened

the second rule is: we gotta embrace faith

I had to have faith to believe, that thing that is see 10 years from now, 20 years from now,

that one day that thing is gonna be successful

when I was homeless as sixteen I couldn't quit,

when I was homeless I couldn't give in up

there were many of days when I thought about committing suicide

but I said to myself, E. just keep imagining, keep thinking, keep seeing

keep seeing, what you're not now but what you're going to be

sometimes it's gonna be hard,

sometimes you look all around you and nowhere do you see success,

nowhere do you see anything that remote looks like success, but you gotta embrace.

Number 2, you gotta embrace the faith you gotta believe that all what is happening right now if you keep pressing if you keep pushing, guess what?

One day is gonna be your day, that's right. I need you to say that with me.

ONE DAY IS GONNA BE YOUR DAY!

Embrace the faith. You gotta be able to see it and believe it, when is no evidence around you.

When is no evidence around you.

When you got pain in your life, when you are tired, when you feel like give in up and you feel like quit,

When you look around you, you don't see anything that looks anything like success

You gotta embrace the faith and believe that one day is gonna be my day,

but one day can't be your day if you give up,

if you quit!

if you quit! no day will ever be your day

I want you to fail forward

That's right I said it, fail forward

I want you to get to the place in your life, that every mistake you make,

every setback you get, every obstacle that you don't overcome, every barrier you can't climb

I don't want you to give up, but I want you to fail forward.

You gotta learn from your mistakes, that every mistake you make, you failed that class, get back and try again!

You lose a job, get back and try again!

You put all your money in the investment get back and try again!

If you start a business and don't work... don't stop, don't quit!

Fail forward, learn from each one of your mistake.

don't quit, don't give up.

Listen to me: don't quit, don't give up if it get's hard you tide not around yourself, you double tide if you have to, but you hold on,

but I want you to know, you'll never reach your goal.. you'll never reach your dreams if you don't use your imagination.

So when you failed that class don't drop it,

when you failed that class, don't just stop going, you go into that class

you go into that class...

and you go into that class and you go into that class

because I want you to know something, when you start that class over the next semester,

you won't be start from the scratch, you won't start from the bottom,

because you all the way up here, when you quit

and now you gotta go a little further and little further so keep reaching, keep climbing.

But it starts with a vision.

Fear

Is not real

The only place that fear can exist

Is in our thoughts of the future

It is a product of our imagination

Causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist

Fear is a choice.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

I want your dream to be so clear, that when you wake up in the morning, all you have to do is step in your dream.

and the first step for me,

was seeing something I was not, before I was.

You can do it, where you are is temporary, you will not be there for the rest of your life.

I don't care what happens in your life, I don't care what it looks like, I don't care where you are.

Every single day when you wake up, if you gonna have energy if you gonna have passion if you gonna have drive...

every day when you wake up, you got to start with that vision!

This is the mentally like, you got to live this, you got to eat this, you got every single thing you do...

it's not a cute saying, it is a way of life,

it's got to possess everything you do, it's gotta own you.

There's no reason to have a plan B because it distracts of plan A

I want to see how far I can go, I want to see what I can accomplish,

I want to see what I can do, what I can be, what I can have, I want to see

I don't want to see what think I can do, I don't want to see what think is possible,

I want to see what my life will look like if I don't count the cost and I was willing to go further than anybody was willing to do.

One problem, the violin...

because to do what you do, you have got to be a world class violinist

because if you don't, when you're moving around, being thrown around and still trying to play,

you end up doing what you did, that is missing loads of notes

and there were times when it sounded to me like a bunch of rats being strangled, seriously, that bad.

but you’re not good enough, I don’t think, to get away with flying through the air and trying to play the violin at the same time.

I don't think, what you are doing right now is enough to fill a theater in Vegas.

That much movement, made you not as great as you were.

Anytime there's a change to be made, you have to realise that there is somewhere else you want to be...

...and I want to basically be happy.

you can't do anything without faith,

it's impossible to accomplish anything without faith, so I need you to believe.

There is still time, as long as there is a breath in your nostrils, as long as you can wake up in the morning

The first step

before anyone else in the world believes it, you have to believe it

So I need you to believe

Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you?

I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to somebody, something...

and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody!

It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!

you gotta do, what you was called to do

you gotta do, what you was born to do

you gotta do, what works for you, because if you do what works for you, you gonna blow up.

It's in your DNA!

It's who you are!

even you get knocked down, you get back,

you get back, you get back

and you continue to throw shit against the wall!

You have a vision, but listen to me:

You are where you are, because of who you are

and if going to get somewhere else you gotta change something.
