What challenges will you face on the journey to success?
Every dream you have is going to be tested. Understand that. Ain't no easy walk to the top. Ain't no elevator to the top. You got to take the stairs. You're going to be tested. What you going to do when you get tested? Because you're going to get told no a bunch of times. So what you gonna do? You gotta master that. But the only way to master it is you got to get knocked down to understand how to get up. You must fall and roll over to know what it is to have to recover. You gotta be down to understand up. You got to be under to know how to get over.
How can setbacks shape your character and resilience?
You got to get to the low point to appreciate the high point. If you don't think it go like that, man, you might as well get out now. Because you're going to get tested. Now the question is, what you going to do when the test come? It's hard keeping your spirits up.
It's hard when you're hurting. It's hard, you got bills, you got responsibilities. It's hard. Easy is not an option, but it's worth fighting. It's worth believing. It's worth giving yourself a chance. It's worth mustering yourself up, standing up inside yourself. It's worth fighting relentlessly, never giving up. It's worth it. It is worth the struggle. It is worth
What mindset is necessary to overcome adversity?
Whatever the struggle is to find out who you are and what you got and what you can do and what you can be.
This fire you're feeling, this pressure you're feeling, this frustration you're feeling, this is what is going to make you into the weapon that you are going to become that will then build the life that you are out to build. Take this opportunity to recognize that the chaos in your life is actually forging you and improving you because you're choosing to press on when everybody else is not willing to push on.
What if problems were always gifts? What if every single problem really was a gift in your life? What if every problem you ever had was life happening for you, not to you? What if everything in our lives was guided? What if everything in our lives was divine titled? Everything, even the pain. When you're in the darkest place, when you feel like all is lost, when you think there's no way to turn it around, remember this, victory is near.
You don't even know how creative you are until you run out of options. You don't know how innovative you are until you feel like your back is up against the wall. I am excited about your future because your darkness is about to be your development.
Everybody can stand up and do good when everything is all good. Everybody can smile when the sun's shot. Everybody can do right when everything is going right. Everybody can do that. But everybody can't face opposition, adversity and challenges and say, I've been waiting on you to come. I'm going to embrace you and I'm going to figure out a way to use you because you will never make me a person that people don't recognize before the adversity. That's made up in my mind before the battle even happens, because I know I ain't running.
I know I ain't quitting. I'm going to make a commitment, and no matter what happens, I'm going to do whatever it takes to get it done. That's the will. That's the most important part. There are some things that you're naturally gifted at. Others you gotta will your way through. I will my way through homelessness. I will my way through that GED. I will my way through that PhD. I will my way through to be a better father.
How can you find strength in difficult times?
I will my way through those books. I got what it takes. I got average skill, but I got phenomenal. I can. I have the ability to do it. I will. Somebody count on me. I will. I have the willpower to make it happen. We don't quit. We don't give up. We push a switch called will. Yes, we're tired. Yes, we're hungry. Yes, the mind is saying give up. But we cannot quit because we realize we have not reached a goal yet. This is not what I dreamed about. This is not what I said I was going to do. This is not what it looks like. I got to push. I must. It's not an option. And the reason why some of you are not where you're supposed to be, you've given yourself an option. You've given yourself an out. Failure is not an option.
