What should you do when life feels like it's the end and you want to quit?
When life hurts, when you're in real pain, when you want to quit, when you feel like this could be the end for you, when everything in you is telling you to give up, what do you do?
In time of adversity, you don't have an obstacle to deal with. You have a choice to make. That's what you have to do.
Do you give up or do you get up? Do you let life just trample you and accept the fact that your life is too hard and what you want is never going to happen? Or do you decide to dust yourself off, rise from the ashes, and keep fighting? You know the one thing that's common among all champions? They keep going. Every successful person that you look up to, the only reason you know them is because they kept going. They went through rejection, heartache, betrayal, stress, challenges, frustration, failure, and they kept going. If you want to make it, just keep going. Your emotions are like waves. And when things get hard, the water gets rough. But instead of drowning in this, you can learn to sail these conditions.
You've got to activate the thinker in you. Don't allow your emotions to control you. We are emotional, but you wanna begin to discipline your emotion.
If you don't discipline and contain your emotions, they will use you. There's gonna be things that go on that are out of your control. The worst thing you can do is let something that's out of your control control you. Get control of yourself. Get control of your emotions. Don't get angry. Don't get frustrated. Instead, stay calm and figure out how to move forward.
If you want to begin to move into your own personal greatness, if you want to begin to really enjoy a happy, successful, healthy life, you've got to be willing to go against the tide. You've got to be willing to harness your will and say, in spite of this, I'm in control here. These roadblocks, these obstacles, this opposition won't stop me from doing what I want to do. It can temporarily cripple me or make it inconvenient, but it won't stop me. It will not determine my reality. See, most people will say to you, oh, you're being unrealistic. You're dreaming. Yes, I am dreaming. Don't you stop dreaming. A lot of people have given up. A lot of people don't even want and ask life for anything because they don't believe they can have it.
No, that's not true. You can have this. You can keep this. This is not something that's passing through that you're up today and now you're down tomorrow. That doesn't have to be your reality. You want things to go good for you from now on? It's on you. You can make that happen. You've got the power to do that. You can change things for you. See, it really doesn't matter what has happened to us in the past. It doesn't matter how many failures we've had. No, the fulfillment of your dreams lies within you and you alone. When you understand and accept this, then nothing or no one can deny you greatness.
The power to succeed or fail is yours and no one can take that away from you. You gotta start walking because the perspective's not gonna change. You have to start moving forward. You have to start taking steps in order to improve your vision, improve your perspective, change your perspective, make some kind of progress. And worst case scenario, you figure out that you walked the wrong direction. Okay, now you can walk in the other direction and that's gonna be fine. But standing there lost and not doing anything is just waiting to die, waiting to starve to death. Don't let that happen.
What's gonna make you keep going? Purpose. Every person you see who's on fire and successful knows the why. You don't know why you're doing this right now. Because that's where all the emotional juice and fuel is to actually get you to go through when the challenges show up. Your mission is your magnet.
People have been asking me, Trent, how have you been able to still push through? How have you been able to still overcome? How have you been able to do it? Has it been hard? Hell yeah, it's been hard. And that magnet is so strong with my mission that it's like a tugboat.
