Eric Thomas

For some of you, what I want you to do is throw something on a wall.

Every time I see you, I say the same thing because I think we overcomplicate it.

It's the power of the choice, the power of using the people around you and not being afraid of failing, but being afraid of not trying.

There are no passes when it comes to you and you being unique and having the ability and the qualifications to make sure you get the most out of your life and out of your dream.

I know that you've got greatness within you.

Maybe your dream's big, good, go after it, and maybe you don't make it because it was way out there, but you pursued it, and maybe there was something that happened that you didn't quite get there, but I promise you this, if you shoot for a star, and you're all in with your effort and your heart and your attitude and your energy and your commitment, you may not land on that star, but I can guarantee you, you'll land on the moon, and the truth is, you're still in space.

Use your mind.

Use your vision.

Use your dream.

I dreamed my way out the hood.

I dreamed my way out.

And then I saw it.

And then I would get up every day and I would cry.

I know that you have unlimited potential in you.

I know that you have something to give to the universe.

What separates legends from the average?

What separates the 1% from the rest of this world?

There will come a time in your life where you will ask yourself this question.

Haven't you lived here long enough?

You've been in doubt and fear and uncertainty and confusion and comparison long enough.
