Eric Thomas

You need to sit down and ask yourself, if you weren't thinking about the family's name, if Eric Thomas, ET, the hip hop preacher, was not your father, what would you be doing? What would you be doing if you didn't have to worry about honoring, you know, the dynasty? And you do a phenomenal job of honoring this dynasty. I'm not saying anything. Went to school, handled your business.

You've never been in trouble before. We've never had to spend money doing anything. You've been a phenomenal child. But what would you do if you lived life on your terms and you were able to go where you were able to do? And so that's the first thing I would ask them to do. I want you to think about your life instead of their life. Because that's what you've been thinking about, the life.

Now think about your life, and I want you to start putting it everywhere. Now, the next thing I want you to do is I want you to know that if you have the ability, like I'll never forget, CJ was like, okay, E, you know what you're missing? That the big boy, all the big boy speakers, you know what you're missing? I was like, no. He was like, the New York Times bestseller.

Now, I'm not telling you gotta do it, but I'm saying, that's one of the, you know, and you got it. And so he was like, first of all, do you want it? Do you want it? Don't do it, because I'm saying you need it. But do you want it? And he could elevate you, but do you want it? And I was like, yeah, I want it. The next question becomes, what does it take to do it?

And then am I willing to do what it takes to get it? That's it. Because it's a lot. It's a lot. But here's the thing. I believe if you think about it, it is only because somewhere inside of you, you have what it takes. Now, capacity is there. Willingness is something totally different. Yes. That's different. But I want every human to know.
