It's necessary, ladies and gentlemen.

And you look at the people in your life.

Who do you have yourself surrounded with?

It's necessary, ladies and gentlemen, that you get the energy drainers out of your life, the dream busters.

Get them out of your life.

They will deplete your energy.

They're going to laugh at you.

You got to stop looking to others for support and look inside yourself.

You gotta tell yourself, I can do this.

You're more powerful than you realize.

You're stronger than you think you are.

You can survive more than you think you can.

You're more capable than you can possibly imagine.

It was necessary that I face a lot of rejection, a lot of laughter, a lot of no's in order to get here, to enjoy the level of success.

It was necessary that I face that.

And I'm saying to you, when you're facing those rejections day in and day out, don't say, I had a bad day today.

Say, I had a character building day.

We can be active participants in our being here, or we can be victims.

Before anything can take place, you've got to believe in your heart of hearts that it's possible that you can beat this.

And this is when your mind has to change.
