Eric Thomas

bro, that's not what it is. It's when I speak, you hear it because I've been through what you've been through. And so you recognize that voice. You recognize the pain. You recognize the struggle. But you recognize I overcame it. And that's why you're like, I want to rock with this dude.

Because this one ain't, some kind of way, Eric ain't the one that's making us feel like, oh, it's okay that you went through this. And it's okay that this, and it's okay if you don't want to grow. And it's okay if you don't want, No, what you hear from me is a coach that's saying, Jordan, you got six rings in you, but you got to stop playing this way and you got to start playing this way.

Kobe, you got great, but you got to do it this way. Serena, you got Venus, you got that. Richard Williams is saying, he's not out there just... He's teaching, training, but he's also correcting. And so for me, they hear my voice. I'm not letting you get away with murder because greatness is in you. The greatness is in you. And now it's time to go to school. It's time to go to work.

and bring that greatness out. So just anybody, anybody could be successful. But as long as you're playing the blame game, you have you have given permission, the license, registration, the keys, you give it all over to somebody else. And the day you take it is the day that you can start deciding which direction you want to go. Wow. So that sounds like step one. Take the keys back to your life.

I would say step two. And I don't know why they don't teach this in school. I be your first best friend, you know, like get to know you. We're so busy. wanting to be in a community that we don't realize we are a community, right? And look, I'm not trying to be deep.

You know, people could, you know, you believe this, you don't believe in this, but what I was taught, you know, in school, especially Catholic school, it seemed like Adam was by himself first. It doesn't seem like it was like somebody else. It was like Adam was first and then whatever happened after that. So the first man was by himself. And I think that's important for those of us who study that.

Why? Because all of us think we have to have somebody to be somebody. And this guy started on it. He started his journey on his own before he connected with somebody, whatever. He knew his purpose. You know, he walked with his confidence. He walked. And a lot of us are going. I hear people all the time. Well, I'm not doing good life. Why not? I don't have nobody. I'm not in a relationship.

I'm saying you're telling me. No, listen to me very closely. Do you think for one minute? that getting in a relationship with somebody, it can't be the key because so many people have gotten in relationships and got out of it. So that can't be the key. Now, two healthy people, not perfect, but two healthy people coming together. Oh, no, that's different. It's expansive.

But guess what has to happen? You've got to be healthy with you.

people you could be with this so we even messing each other up when we have two dysfunctional people trying to connect with each other because we think two functional people don't come together and make each other it's not gonna work so i just think the first step after the first step is you got to figure out who you are and love you and feel good about you and show up in the ring you and not care what nobody think about you
