And my personal question to you is why not you? And those of you in this room, you are great. You are phenomenal. And you're not walking in it.
When you actually understand it, it's actually fundamentally true. You are capable of doing anything. You are capable of all of it. But I can't activate something in you that you, you got to activate that. Nelson Mandela said, there is no passion to be found playing small and settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living.
It's the what if I can pull off a f***ing miracle. What if I can become someone that no one thinks I can be? Okay, why not me? I've already overcome this. Why can't I go and start a company? Why can't I build something that's meaningful? Because if I looked at it the other way and started to take, you know, the count of, okay, well, I can't do this because of where I come from. I can't do this because of how I look. I can't do this. I wouldn't start anything. Everybody would wake up each day doing subtraction. I look at my life as additional. We have to decide now.
Are you in a place where you are ready to actually shift and do and execute on why you're here? All of that is foundationally on your own self-awareness of who you are, being accountable, and most importantly, finally cutting out the cancer of insecurity out of your body on the things that have always been there.
By shedding light. This is what you believe is possible, is your mindset. It is what you believe you are capable of. It is what you believe you deserve. Tell yourself that you deserve to be happy and you deserve to be fulfilled. You will start to see reasons for it. Ask yourself, all these amazing adventures came from somewhere. Why not you? Why can't you be the one that comes up with that next great idea? Ask the question when you're thinking big, why not you?
And answer it. I'm not just doing this motivational video. Why not you? Why shouldn't you win? No, no. Forget motivational. Let's get logical. Why not you? Actually answer that. Why can't you be somebody that can do something in your business that's never been done before? Why not you? Answer it. If I want to change my life, it starts with my action. It starts with me waking up every day having a plan.
And by the way, why not you?
You know, why not you? Why can't it be you? You know, what about you is less than that you are telling yourself is less than? Why not you?
you know every one of us is so unique and so special why not you you are unique and you have gifts to give what keeps you from giving them fear and what we are capable of doing is amazing just do it you are able to do so much more instead of saying i can't do this i can't do that i failed at this i'm incapable of this you can do this like it's gonna be okay it's
Don't let fear hold you back things can be scary and you can push through them Are you gonna have thoughts come to your mind of why you can't get it? You have the ability in your conscious mind to reject that idea kick it out of your mind Thinking of why you can't do something is never going to do you any good and keep thinking until you start to think of thoughts of how you can do it the way I look at it within myself Why not?
Why can't I be the MVP of the league? Why can't I be the best player in the league? I don't see why not. I need you to know that you're enough. I need you to know that you're qualified. I need you to know that you're called, you're armed, and you're dangerous. Talking about wisdom, knowledge, power, authority. I need you to know that all you have is all you need.
Anybody is capable of achieving anything. I actually believe that because I think human beings are designed to change. You're capable of breaking any pattern. You're capable of getting control of your health. You're capable of launching a business. You're capable of making millions of dollars. You're capable of healing your trauma, of finding love, of doing absolutely anything that you put your mind to as long as you are willing to do the work for it and as long as you give up your timeline.
Because I do believe that people who put in the work get rewarded. But you just might not get rewarded when you think you're going to be. And it might not be the reward that you thought you were going to get. But you have something unique with inside of you. You have more to offer. Not only yourself, but the rest of the world. Know that you matter.
Know that your purpose matters. Let me be the first to tell you, there is none like you in all of the earth. And I'm just wondering if you are bold enough and courageous enough to believe what I'm saying. You are enough. So why not you? You can do anything. And I think one of the most powerful things that you can cultivate with yourself is being able every single day to have a level of trust in your life itself.
in the magic of things, in yourself, to know that this moment right now is also a dot on the map of your life. And five, 10, 20 years from now, you will look back on this moment and you will know exactly why this happened. And why it happened is it was preparing you for something. It was giving you a skill or an experience or some wisdom or a relationship that you're going to need for something extraordinary that's coming. And when you believe that,
It gives you the strength to face absolutely anything. What are you going to do with what you have? I'm not talking about how much you have. Some of you are business majors, some of you are theologians, nurses, sociologists. Some of you have money, some of you have patience, some of you have kindness, some of you have love. Some of you have the gift of long suffering, whatever it is, whatever your gift is. What are you going to do with what you have?
They say the true hell is when the person that you are meets the person you could have been. My biggest fear in life is if there is a final resting place in this world and there's a final judgment and you talk to something much bigger than you. I don't want to sit down and have a conversation with someone with something that says, you're in heaven, this is what you should have been on earth. And are you really in heaven now or are you in hell? Thinking about how much I left on the table for fear
Imagine you're on your deathbed and standing around your deathbed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential. The ghost of the ideas you never acted on. The ghost of the talents you didn't use. And they're standing around your bed angry, disappointed, and upset. They say we came to you because you could have brought us to life, they say. And now we have to go to the grave together. So I ask you today...
How many ghosts are going to be around your bed when your time comes? Why not see how much you can do, how far you can go? Why not you? Hey, corporate types, Billy Idol here.
