Let me tell you something that you already know. The world aint all sunshine and rainbows. Its a very mean and nasty place and I dont care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You me, or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it aint about how hard youre hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much can you take and keep moving forward. Thats how winning is done. Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit however, it will last forever. The margin for error is so small, I mean one half a step too late or too early, and you dont quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast, you dont quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. There in every break of the game, every minute, every second. You got a dream, you got to protect it. If we cant do something ourselves, theyre going to tell you, you cant do it. If you want something go get it, period. Dont be afraid to fail. You cant always win, but dont be afraid of making decisions. You have to believe that something different can happen. He who says he can and he who says he cant, are both usually right. That most of you say you want to be successful, but you dont want it bad, you just kind of want it. You dont want it badder than you want to party. You dont want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you dont want success as much as you want to sleep. Our deepest fears not that we are inadequate; our deepest fears that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. You have to dig deep down. Dig deep down ask yourselves who do you want to be. Figuring out for yourselves what makes you happy. No matter how crazy it may sound to the people. Make a choice, like just decide what is going to be, who youre going to be, how youre going to do it. Just decide. Why not? Why cant I be the MVP of the league? Why cant I be the best player in the league? I dont see why. Why? Why cant I do that outcome? What is it you say to the kid? It aint about how hard youre hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. Get up, get up, get up and dont ever give up. We can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell one inch at a time. To be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you will become. Most of you wont be successful because when youre studying and you get tired, you quit. I dont do well in math. Youre right. You aint never studied. Im not good at writing because you have never written before. Talent you have naturally, skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft. If youre not making someone elses life better, than youre wasting your time. Dont cry to give up, cry to keep going. Dont cry to quit. Youre already in pain, youre already hurt, get a reward from it. Now if you know what your worth, then go out and get what your worth, but you got to be willing to take the hits and not point fingers saying, you aint where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that aint you. Youre better than that. Because every day is a new day, every moment is a new moment. So now you got to go out and show them that Im a different creature, now. Im going to show you how great I am. The 17th chapter of Saint Luke is written The Kingdom of God is Within Man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men and you, you the people have the power. The power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Now what are you going to do? Because limits, like fears are often just an illusion.
