And you better learn how to fight.

You've got to get up every morning fighting, clawing, scratching.

You've got to beat depression.

You've got to beat anxiety.

You've got to beat the naysayers.

You've got to beat that little voice in your head that's telling you you're not

good enough.

When I think about fighting, I'm not talking about people.

I'm talking about situations, I'm talking about circumstances, I'm talking about opportunities

that sometimes you have to fight for.

Come on life, let's fight.

Let's go.

Come on job, let's go.

Come on career, let's go.

I'm going to go to war.

That dream is not going to sit there and wait for you to come and get it.

You got to chase it like a man possessed.

You've got to go get it.

But to win fights you've got to have stamina.

You've got to be ready to fight and bounce back, punch and counterpunch, jab and jab back.

Let me tell you something - Life is a series of fights.

The worst thing you can do is run away from your fights because if life is a series of

fights and you run away, you just ran away from your life.

We got to fight.

We got to fight.

We can't lay down.

When you lay down, you get ran over.

When you about to fight, you know a fight is coming your adrenaline begins to pump, your

heart begins to race, your mind gets right and says, “Look, I'm not going to just fight.

I'm going to win this battle and sucker you are going down”.

Some of you guys out there are fighting for your life.

Why?

Because the doctor told you, you have cancer.

You better not feel sorry for yourself.

You better not lay down and quit.

You better get up and fight because a happy spirit does a body good like medicine.

Fighting for your future.

Fighting for your dreams.

Fighting for success.

When you come over to depression, you raise your arms like a champion.

When you overcome bankruptcy, you raise your arms like a champion.

When you come over to divorce, raise your arms in victory.

Sometimes in life you get caught with a good one.

You didn't see divorce coming.

You didn't see cheating coming.

You didn't see being fired coming.

You got sucker punched.

Oh, I've been sucker punched before but that didn't mean, I can't stop fighting.

We've got to get up baby.

When you've been sucker punched, get up.

When you've been hit in the gut, get up.

Because you have to win this war.

You've got to learn how to fight one battle at a time.

One war at a time.

Because you might not win every fight, but you've got to win the war.

You've got to have the right attitude, the right mindset, the right mentality not just

to fight, it's going to be a war.

And you don't quit until you win.

It's going to be a war.

And don't you quit until you win!

Let's fight, let's fight, let's fight and let's fight.

You're going to have sometimes low moments when you won't want to get out of bed.

You just want to stay there.

At times you won't want to come out the house.

There's sometimes when things aren't going to go right.

That will catch you on the blindside.

That you did not anticipate.

There are times when anything that can happen will happen.

Murphy's Law will be knocking at your door.

See, but the real challenge comes when you get knocked down.

That's where the growth takes place.

But I got a saying, “When life knocks you down, try and land on your back because if

you can look up, you can get up”.

You've got the power in you to do that.

You've got something special.

You've got combat power.

You'll get knocked down, but you won't be knocked out.

I'm unstoppable.

This will not get me down.

You'll be able to get to your feet again, be on the ropes. That you'll have a fast recovery

rate when you work on yourself.

You've got to put your foot down and say, “That's it.

Enough is enough.

No longer am I going to listen to that voice inside my head telling me I'm nothing.

Telling me I'm no good.

Telling me I'm weak.

Telling me I'm useless”.

Fight against weakness, against fear, against time and against decay.

Fight back.

Go down swinging.

Give every day everything you've got.

No more am I going to be this scared little kid inside my head.

And today and from every day after today I'm going to stop fighting back.

I'm going to start doing what I want to do.

with strength and pride.

I'm going to take on the world because that's what I'm capable of.

That's what I'm made to do.

That's what's inside me.

Commitment!

It means taking a stand.

Taking a stand for you.

It means delivering.

It means coming through.

When we put ourselves in the situation where we say we're going to do it, it puts you in

another zone.

The universe responds to the man or woman that refuses to be denied.

That business that you want, that book that what you want to write.

That dream that you have of controlling your destiny, that is yours.

But you've got to be willing to stand there and face disappointment, not have support,

be lonely, doubt yourself sometimes, be rejected again and again and again and refuse to turn

around until life gives it up.

Nothing can resist a person that has that kind of commitment.

Wake up every single day thinking about how can I change my life?

How can I stand on a stage with the giants?

I started this homeless on the side of a Turkey Hill gas station and I told myself,

“I will not die here”.

I said, “How can I build a million-dollar business with no money?”

A conscience in my head spoke to me and it said “Purpose”.

They said, “When you work for your purpose, your purpose will begin to work for you and

dreams and beautiful things will start to manifest”.

And I truly believe this.

As long as you believe in that very gift that you have in the bottom of your stomach, that

fire that burns, that dream that wakes you up in the middle of the night and wakes you

up and have you screaming to the sunrise so I can go after this dream.

That is the very thing that you should chase every single day.

If you chase this dream with consistency and you believe, your booking and your calendar

will fill up.

You want me to come to the middle of the projects?

I'm coming.

You want me to go where murderers sleep and live?

I'm coming.

You want me to fight that abusive husband that's beating on you?

I'm coming.

I'm going to take drug dealers and turn them into community leaders.

I'm going to turn murderers into security.

I'm going to turn drug addict mothers back into beautiful queens.

I'm going to turn broken men into kings.

And I'm going to show them that everything you tried to hide, God placed inside of me

to tell the truth.

So, when I say the kings are on the rise, we are on the rise.

Whatever you want out of your life ,it's up to you to create because every human on this

Earth is born with this empty canvas and your life is what you paint.

There's nobody more special than anybody on this Earth.

It's just people that's willing to go down into the valley of nothingness

the valley of darkness and come back with the sun

It's time that real comes to life.

That's why the world is falling in love with this motivation because it's real.

You can feel it, I can see it.

You can gain new knowledge because my motivation comes from my darkest days.

And when I realized that I was going to have to put on my hard hat and I was going

to have to put on my boots and I was going to strap up and fight for this dream.

That's when things started to happen.

I told people I never wanted to be the man and the leader that stood in the front and

everyone stood behind me.

I wanted to be a leader that everybody stood aside of me and we fought together

And we won't sell our soul for a taste of a light bulb.

I don't care if you are that small boy sitting in the project halls.

I don't care if you are that girl that her mother treats her like trash and calls her names.

I don't care if you that young boy who never had a father to take them outside or throw a football.

I don't care if you are that father that they say is not a good father.

But they don't understand you never learned how to be a father.

You never learned how to love.

I want you to know that you are still something.

And as long as you got air in your lungs, life in your body you can be anything you want to be.

You can be anything you want to be.

This is what we must do to take back our city.

This is what we must do to change this world.

We must come together collectively.

We must understand that these older cats have sold their soul to the devil for a dollar.

And they forgot about the babies at the bottom.

They never went back.

They left us.

We don't need you anymore.

But are you willing to die?

Are you willing to sleep outside of their CEO office for an opportunity?

You see, just getting to the opportunity is hard.

Seizing the moment is a whole other monster.

So, while you are fighting, and you are clawing to get to the next level let me tell you something.

If you are a person out there buying… trying to buy your way to the top I'm going to let

you know something king and queen, you can't buy a legacy.

This you must earn.

So, the big dogs, they won't give you the opportunity, you are going to have to take it.

You are going to sleep in your car.

You are going to sleep on that floor.

You are going to cry those tears.

But we are not going to be crybabies, we are going to be lions.

You know, when the lion is injured, when the lion is bleeding, it makes his moves and it

keeps walking.

Another thing I would advise against is looking too sharply at what other people are doing

and ending up being a copycat.

Of course, you've got to imitate before you innovate but always with your own fingerprint.

Always thinking in terms of “How am I going to bring something unique?”

My unique song.

My unique song, my unique fingerprint.

My unique vibration.

How am I going to deliver that to the planet as a gift?

You are a gift.

Every single one of us is a gift.

How are you going to exercise and share your gift?

Reignite your soul by reigniting the spark in your body.

It's definitely natural to do this.

Sometimes the way it happens is based on unnatural cause.

But what happens is when you are in that stage, in that time, in my life it didn't make sense

for me to be here because I'm in a going down process.

When you go up, right?

I'm up, I'm riding high and then you come down, you're not going to start again at the

same circle.

Alright?

So, you're not the same version of yourself.

You can't expect yourself to be who you were during the last cycle.

It won't happen yet.

You have new experiences, you're older, your physiology changes.

All kinds of different habits.

But the ego, like you referred to wants to attach to what was.

You had a great year last year but let it go because it's no longer.

You are not that person anymore.

You got to allow yourself to go through whatever you're going through right now to reemerge
