How bad do you want it? Be a dangerous man. Now being dangerous is not being a threat. They're two different things. And it's not about going out and lifting weights and walking around with your chest and shoulders up, hulking around saying, "I'm dangerous." Very rarely is that a dangerous man. Often the most dangerous man in the room is the quietest man in the room.
You should be a monster. You know, because everyone says, well, you should be harmless, virtuous. You shouldn't do anyone any harm. You should sheath your competitive instinct. You shouldn't try to win. You don't want to be too aggressive. You don't want to be too assertive. You want to take a back seat and all of that. It's like, no, you should be a monster, an absolute monster. And then you should learn how to control it.
You need endurance. You need stamina to reach some goals. You're not going to hit the million with the first investment. You're not going to hit the home run always at first swing. But resiliency says, I belong here and I deserve another shot. I want my opportunity. Give me my opportunity. You can't be a good man if you're not a dangerous man.
It's like, is there something wrong with being competitive? There's something wrong with cheating. There's something wrong with being a tyrant. There's something wrong with winning unfairly. All of those things are bad, but you don't want people to win?
This is your life, my friend. And I'm sure when it's all said and done, you don't want to look back and see that you wasted it. This is your life, my friend. So you stand up. This is your life, my friend. So you rise up. This is your life, my friend. So you keep going. This is your life, my friend. So you never give up. This is your life, my friend. You need to keep going. This is where you take control.
I need you to know that you're called, you're armed, and you're dangerous. In this life, there will always be obstacles. There will always be challenges. There will always be giants. It hasn't been easy, but it's time to win. It's time to win. You are going to need vision. Before you win, you're going to have to see it. Winning this battle. In this life, there will always be a man, a woman, a boy, a girl, or a team
who will face impossible odds. And somehow through some combination of courage, will, grit, and a mustard seed of faith, they'll manage to overcome. If a man can master discipline, then there is nothing he can't win. It starts on the battlefield of your mind. This is where the war is won. Remember your why. It is the why that gets us to win.
And it is the why that gives us the power to persevere through the how. All you have is all you need. I have waited my whole life for this moment. Thank you to everybody that doubted me. Here's to everybody that doubted me. Here's to everybody that stopped believing in me. Here's to everybody that counted me out.
If nobody believes in you, you gotta make it up in your mind that all you have is all you need. It is the battles that you face today that prepare you for tomorrow's wars. You are fighting for your family. You are fighting for your legacy. What you are fighting for is bigger than you. Do not forget this.
There will be many giants in your life. There will be depression. There will be anxiety. There will be oppression. There will be overwhelm. Will you buckle under the pressure or will you rise to the occasion?
Stop praying that the storm will pass over you and pray to grow through the storm. Stop going around it, go through it. Some fights are not won in the first round. Flat out, in the moment that you get that and you get crystal clear and you accept the fact that there are some giants that you will not defeat in the first round.
You are a disciplined, desperate, dangerous, fulfiller of destiny. Dangerous is the one who owns the dream. I say it again. Dangerous is the one who owns a dream. I didn't say rent a dream. I didn't say lease a dream. I didn't say Airbnb a dream. I said own the dream. Go down to the title agency. Put the money down and buy that dream so that you own it. And that dream can never be taken away from you.
Dangerous is the one who masters their thinking. Dangerous is the one who ain't afraid to sweat. Dangerous is the one who won't quit. Dangerous is the one who knows their identity. Self-awareness is the starting point for living a life of victory. Until you know your true value, your self-worth, your calling will continue to elude you. Those who continue to run from being who they were made to
be, disqualify themselves from greatness. The enemy is hoping that you never discover your true identity, that you are beautiful, strong, and amazing, and that you deserve the best that life has to offer. He's hoping that you never hear this message. Here's why it's important, because if you can't see yourself, how will you ever see opportunity? You know what, my friend? I think you're capable of much, much more, so bring it out.
Bring it out every single day that you live on this earth. Bring it out every single day that you open your eyes. Bring it out every single day. Bring out the best version of yourself, my friend, because we still have work to do. You already know what failure feels like. You already know what it feels like to quit.
to stop, to throw in the towel, to sit on the couch. But do you know what it's like to give everything that you have? Push and persevere! Life doesn't get any easier. It doesn't get more forgiving. We just get stronger and we get more resilient. Run after your dream! Run after your idea! Run after your goal!
What is it that you have been called to do? Get up and run after it! Action will reflect that which you are dreaming in your mind and the world will begin to see that which you are believing for. The ones who rocked the world, the ones who made history, the ones we call legends, they dreamed with their eyes closed. They didn't set the limits of their imagination to the world they were currently living in.
They dream the world the way they wanted it to be. Once ownership has been taken of a dream of a vision, it creates a power inside one to bend and shape reality until it looks like an exact copy of that which is held in the mind. Hey, you're the dream.
Let's talk about something that's not always top of mind, but still really important. Life insurance. Why? Because it offers financial protection for your loved ones and can help them pay for things like a mortgage, credit card debt. It can even help fund an education.
And guess what? Life insurance is probably a lot more affordable than you think. In fact, most people think life insurance is three times more expensive than it is. So with State Farm Life Insurance, you can protect your loved ones without breaking the bank. Not sure where to start? State Farm has over 19,000 local agents that can help you choose an option to fit your needs and budget. Get started today and contact a State Farm agent or go to statefarm.com.
