I want to challenge you tonight to get up that you're not quitting tonight that one day. It is appointed on to all Men to die, but that is God's responsibility not mine. And so I don't know who I'm preaching to tonight, but I want to say to you get up future is brighter than your past. I want to say to you in the balcony get up. Your ladder is greater than your phone or I want to say to every person in this room. If you only have 24 hours in a day, your success is dependent upon how you use the 24. You got to hear me people talk about Oprah Winfrey, you know Ted Turner Warren Buffett. Listen to me. I don't care how much money you make you only get 24 hours in a day in a difference between over and the person that's broke is over uses her 24 hours wisely. That's it. Listen to me. That's it. You get 24. I don't care you broke you grew up broke. I don't care who grew up rich. I don't care. If you're in college, you're not in college. You only get 24 hours and I blew up literally. I went from being a high school dropout to selling 6,000 books in less than six months. What happened my 24 hours. I was like, okay. Are you got to get a grip on your 24 hours because you're about to be broke for the rest of your life and they're just all I need you to do for me. I can tell you all about your life. If you just write down your 24-hour schedule for me. You let me look at it. I can tell you where you going to be in five years. I can tell you where you going to be in 10 years. I can tell you when you going to be 20 years if you keep that schedule. There are few people in this room. That know what it's like to be in a situation where everything in your flesh is saying give up and yet you're in a situation where it sometimes you're standing not because you're so strong. You just don't have any other option. It's not that you didn't think about quitting. It's not that you didn't fantasize about quitting. It's not that you didn't dream about quitting as if not that you're so tenacious and so strong but life is got compressed in a corner and you simply cannot let go of anything and you have to stand there in the middle of the storm and keep pumping your head with the faith. Beer and just say just hanging there just just just just don't give up this distance. Don't just don't give up some kind of way. You're going to get through this. Are you committed because without commitment nothing happens, you have to be committed through the storm and the rain and the heartache and the pain and the disappointment or you're not gonna make it. It's a commitment is not a feeling while he was golfing. I was studying while they were shooting Hoops. I was studying while he was playing game then sit up and eat them joking in the restaurant. I will study it. You can't get out of something something that you're not willing to put into it. You have to put you're everything you're everything you're mind your energy your effort your discipline. Your tenacity. Nothing is going to jump out the fire if you don't throw It's not gonna happen. But if we fight every day one of them days gonna be my day, I rock bottom I was broke and I was broken. I got fired from five different jobs. And then I got pregnant with my son unexpectedly and then at 8 months, my son's father went to prison and when my son was eight months old, I went to the ATM to get $20 out the bank because I didn't have any Pampers for and in order to get $20 out. She got that $20 in. In I had eleven dollars and 42 cents and I still can't tell the story without getting emotional because my story for two days. I have to wrap my son and a towel but something happens to even those two days my son laying on his back at eight months. I have a towel over and I have my hand on his stomach saying don't you worry Jelani. Mommy will never be this broke again, and I made a decision. I was bankrupt and every stinking thinking Had I was bankrupt trying to protect my pride. I was bankrupt and trying to be all that and a bag of chips and a bowl of grits falsified. I was bankrupt and trying to not ask anyone for help. I was bankrupt and everything that was holding me and keeping me where I was. I've always talked a good game, but I wasn't doing anything with my gift and all that thing about potential. I was tired of having potential. I want to have my now and I looked at that baby at eight months, and I said, I want to transform your life. As you didn't ask to come into this chaos as an African American male child in South Central Los Angeles with a single mother whose fathers in prison. He had a 66% chance of going to prison himself not on my watch not on my watch. So if I have to be willing to drastically transformed myself so that I can become the woman that I know I can be and that's what I begin to do. I was Radical see my grandmother said that Conviction and comfort don't live in the same block. Hmm. If you going to be convicted about something you might have to go to some discomfort, but if you want to stay comfortable, why don't you just relax where you are? Cause that's where you gonna stay right? And so are you willing to reinvent who you are? Are you willing to kill away the cross the nation. Are you going to kill away the excuses the blame game? I never let people to call me a single mom by my title. I'm Lisa Nichols who happens to be a single mother don't Define me by my circumstances. Define me by my intention at some point. I have to stop asking can I be great can I be brilliant? Can I be okay and still be accepted? I just stopped asking permission and just gave notice unapologetically not in a braggadocious way not no way that shrunk anyone else in a way that said I only got one life I'ma ride this one to the wheels fall off and that was the beginning of me rescuing myself. I realize that I am my rescue. No one else is my rescue. When I tell you there is some times in life where you fall down. You feel like you don't have the strength to get back up. The reason you're here is because there's something in you that says I can do more. I'll tell you something you think you will be 19 for the rest of your life. You have an opportunity right now that you will never have. You owe you an explanation you owe you an explanation. You need to look at yourself in the mirror and say why are you only giving 50% what's wrong with you? You need to put yourself on punishment. You need to tell you no more TV no more snacks. No more desserts no more. No, we working out now. No no more alcohol. Not right now not know I can't handle it right now. You need to tell you that you owe you something stopped. Back to you. Keep going to the mall with the receipt. This is what ya'll said. It was Glenn. You didn't do what you said you was going to do. Well, you didn't do what you were supposed to do. So, how am I going to do? What I was supposed to do for you you walk out of this room you owe yourself. I didn't get here making excuses. So what my father wasn't in my life, the truth of the matter is he ain't never come into my life. So what I'ma wait for the rest of my life for my man to come. He ain't coming. I live in America. I'm an African American male. They don't treat us to say it's something called racism. I ain't gonna cry about it. It's probably going to be racism to the day I die. But I'm not going to cry about it. I'm still going to be a millionaire. I'm still going to be one of the top motivational speakers in the world. No, I didn't grow up on that side of the Town know my mama don't have no network. No, I don't know a whole lot of people know I'm not at a country club. No, I don't play golf and I don't plan on playing no time soon, but I'm still going to be successful. I'm still going to get you where they are. Why because I owe it to myself and can't nobody stop me, but me You need to get rid of them excuses. You need to stop pointing fingers at people and you start pointing fingers at yourself. What did you not do? Scream to me the other night. Hey Will. I want to be active and I want to be an actor just like you, you know, usually people say stuff to me like that. I'm like, yeah, man, you know you do is give them an encouraging word, but I was just sitting here thinking and it dawned on me 99% of people that say stuff like that are not willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true. The Marines have a saying everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die and that's just real actor. Center of bringing any dream into fruition is self-discipline, you know some something as simple as food and eating it's not about your body as much as it is about your mind. It's getting command of your mind to be able to choose actions that are in your own best interest every day. We are choosing shit that's not in our own best interest. Right? So if the world is attacking you the world wants to fight you in the world's trying to hold you down. So you're going to kick yourself in the balls. Do you don't stop yourself from getting what you dream self-discipline is the center of all material success. You cannot win the war against the world. If you can't win the war against your own mind taking responsibility accepting responsibility is not an admission of guilt. Now you're not you're not Admitting that you're at fault taking responsibility is a recognition of the power that you cease when you stop blaming people, it's not like you're letting somebody who wronged you off the hook like taking responsibility as an act of Emotional Self. Defense taking responsibility is taking your power back. I believe that self-discipline is Is the definition of self love that when you say that you love yourself. That means that you have Behavior toward yourself. That is loving. It's like you say to yourself a man. Look. I know you want to eat that pizza and it'll be really good, you know, but I can't let you eat that man. Because if you eat that pizza, you don't feel like shit, you know, and I just I love you too much to let you eat that and I think the word discipline has kind of gotten a bad name. We think about it in terms of punishment. I'm not I'm not talking about discipline in that way. I'm talking about discipline in the sense that you you forgo immediate pleasure for the exchange of long-term. Self-respect self-love is when you say to yourself man, look, I know you and that girl got a A real connection. I know y'all Vibe, but that's your girl's cousin. So I love you too much to let you do that self-love is a look. I know you got a test on Monday, you know, and I know you really want to go out with your friends and Saturday night he want to go out. But if you fail that test you're not going to feel good about yourself. You know, I just I love you too much to let you go. Go out tonight. Self-discipline is self-love. If you want to be happy, you have to love yourself, which means you have to discipline your behavior. The road to sustained happiness is through disciplining your behavior to watch me watch me. A true Hunter is wired differently. He's wired differently that had a same. Wake up. Listen to me. What makes a gazelle a gazelle is how he's wired? When a lion sees a gazelle and the gazelle sees the lion both be seeing each other at the exact same time when the gazelle sees the lion because of how he's wired. He automatically fear takes over when the lion sees a gazelle. He likes up it's showtime. The Hunters on this is what I was made for and if you ever studied a lion in his natural environment watch this guy's if an animal is wounded the lion won't even do what won't attack Right through this some of you there are opportunities that you like it's too difficult. It's too hard. Nobody can do it. You're not wired properly lying welcome to challenge matter of fact, they don't get excited unless it is a challenge because they'll immediately when a gazelle immediately sees the lion the first thing you think about is let's go First thing the lion does like let's eat. So you got to do me a huge favor if you don't get to a certain level, you got a welcome it so so everybody's like a team and you're so positive everything in your life, man. You just you just got it going on. I'm a real lion with a real lion. You'll never know. You'll never know what's going on in my life because I'm a lying and under every single circumstance. I'm a lion. So I lost five on skin cancer in the last six years. I lost to last year's lying still tgim or Ashley. My eyes death made me go and do tgim. Like I never did you see awareness is the big deal. We want to become aware of the obvious opportunities that are available to us. We are surrounded by opportunity there everywhere you go. There is an abundance. There's no shortage of opportunity. Can win and we can win in a big way now when we lack awareness we miss the opportunity. I don't want to die. Not having completely burnt out every single possibility of my Humanity. I just I just want to die when I leave this planet. I want everybody's did that used it all up. Not another thing. I can do. I want you to take a real honest look at your results. And when you look at them ask yourself, am I living the way I really want to live the fundamental key to success is what you believe is true for yourself. Not what you want. What you desire? It's what do you believe most people are going to look at you kind of strange. What are you going there for you want their last month? What are you listening to that for? You? Listen to that before? What do you read Nick? What do you read the same book over and over for they don't understand and you see their advertising their ignorance by the questions, they ask when we get into the success Zone everything in our life starts to change but understand this you're going to be a bit of a nut you're out of the box. You're not one of the masses and when you get out of the box, But your whole world starts to ship thing that I that I strive to do. Best is be here be now right here right now good habits will give you results that stick bad habits will destroy everything. I have some bad happens. That's right. All my habits are not great. So if you've got some bad habits don't feel bad. So does your next-door neighbor? So does your Mentor your coach? So does your mother and father after all? Hi, so does everyone and the trick of life is to replace a bad habit with a good habit? Hey Denis was an is continues to be but continues to inspire me is a primal and fundamental desire to fulfill the highest expression of myself as a human being. Let me speak to that person that feels like they lost they were that they found. This is the dollar bill. Now if I go to the store and there's something for 90 cents cannot buy with this dollar bill. Okay? All right. So if I go to the store and there's something for 85 cents and after tax and ends up being 96 cents cannot buy with this dollar bill. Okay are so what if eyeball the dollar bill up think about it now? Like I just bought the dollar bill up like so we can't be worth a dollar now. Probably worth like ninety five cents, right? How much you think it's worth a dollar. This is this a y'all gotta pay attention. I just bought it up so clearly it's not worth $1 anymore. Alright. Alright, so maybe what if I step on it? What about stop it? I just thought it how much is it worked out maybe 65 68 cents. It's still worth a dollar. Okay. What if I borrow them what if I start morning and then I put it in the trash can and it's in here with some trash and it's around some beer. Here is some gunk in the bunch of other nasty stuff and some guy off the street pulls the dollar out unfolds it. How much is it work now, maybe 82 cents and make what come on at least 92 cents. It's okay are so what about bowling? Huh? What if I step on it? What if I put it in the trash and then watch this? I'll tear the half. Think about it now, right? How much is it work now a dollar I could tape it. What will swivel we wait? Wait. Wait a second. Wait a second. I just I just bought it up. I just stepped on it. I put it in trash. I pulled it out. Then. I toured a half and you mean to tell me I could pick the dollar up. I can wipe it off and I could put some tape around it and it's still worth a dollar then why if this dollar doesn't lose its work that was value? Then why do you feel like you've lost super it's about you because many of you feel like you just stepped on you feel like you've been pushed aside. You feel like you've been abandoned you feel like you could talk about you feel like you've been abused like someone took from you. Someone hurt you somebody took advantage of you and deep down inside your core. You feel like you've lost some of your value and I am here to tell you today that this daughter still has worked in value because there are some many years ago who put value on with his life instead of the matter. What happened through? Make a stupid tape it together. It gets to be wiped off and I am here to tell you that you were created in you're born and you here and you have light and you have Perfect Skin you have value and know you've gone through some hard times and know you've experiencing some depression and you might need want to hurt yourself and you might want to give up. I am here to tell you we still got work in value and there is nothing that can happen that could take your worth in your value away. So what you gotta do now, you got to pick yourself up dust yourself off and you got to keep moving. She wowed Proctor is one of the guys anybody you familiar with. The book The Secret is one of the master teachers and I had an opportunity for him to be my mentor and it was funny. I never forget we were talking and He said to me son. How much do you charge? It's about a year ago. Let's the $10,000. I was excited I come from poverty Glenn. I've come from a working-class. I'm here tonight. I can do 20 gigs a month 10 by my mother never never made 10,000 at one time. I'm excited. He said $10,000. Okay. Yeah, he said what else? What else do you do? I said I've got the book The Secret of success is how you sell a book. Uh, I was asking to be bent or not insulted. He's know your little book you still selling books. I said still still I'm sorry. I'm from Detroit high school dropout no more. Nobody on my block is an author. Nobody in my family is an author when you say steel help me out. What do you mean by still we made over a million dollars the first year. What do you mean steal? This is Eric Nam. Really makes good money off of books, but Chicken Soup for the Soul. He said you give this away and you turn it into an extension program. I said who he said in the century program kid. He said listen to me little tgim thing you doing that's what people who are really want a lot. There's a group out there. They want to learn how you did it from top to bottom. So you need a program University online. He's been $10,000 you one of the best in the world. He said do me a favor. Let's start at least a 20 I saw him six months later. These are houses 20 thing coming I said, it's going Great, sir. He said what do you mean is going great. I told him 20 and everybody's doing it. He said that's a problem. Lions are wired differently. I said, what do you mean? It's a problem. You told me to say 20. I said 29 and give me 20. I guess it's a trip. He said no this thing. Yes. It's a problem. Say a number that is going to say no to you. Tell him a hundred and see where it falls so I bet you won't be anywhere close to 20 - what? He said your problem is you think like a kid you think like a kid who came from poverty? You think I could kill whose mama had him at 17 years old. That's how you think. You're not wired to be who you've been calling be what you need to think is not how you see the world. But what you need to see is how the world sees you and the world doesn't see you as a 10,000 years the world sees you as much. Bigger and when you can see yourself as the world sees you and not how you see yourself as when you go to another level. Let me tell you something. You got it walk out of here the way you see yourself as a problem. It's always a result of a commitment to Excellence intelligent planning and focused effort. You're not going to be the best. You're not going to catch the best if you're not intentional and deliberate and there are those of you in your in your space and whatever you're trying to do. You don't even represent the best in your space and you still not given under 20, you're trying to catch the guy you're trying to guess the female. That's the best and you waking up and giving me 70% you giving me any percent. But yet you have these dreams that you're going to be the best how You're still watching TV. Somebody said Eric. Have you not seen in America everybody? Have you not seen Scandal? You must watch Scandal. It's the best sitcom at have you not seen Scandal? I said, it's a scandal. I'm not watching it. So Scandal, I'm not watching it. Come on in ten o'clock at night. I'm in the bed. I gotta wake up make my Scandal become a real. This is Stan, but I can't watch this. Fargo Home Instead Scandal was great, but I just can't do it on my time. On my way to Australia. I didn't do Scandal when I'm trying to catch Jim wrong. I didn't do Scandal where I'm trying to learn from John Maxwell ER from my friend Les Brown. I'm not I'm not watching Scandal. So you got to do me a huge favor and I'm asking you with a when you leave today. I want you to look at some things that you're doing the 30% now where the 20 percent or 10 percent and I'm gonna need you to let it go. Just brought seen a lot and I just was like, yo, I don't want that no more. And so what are the things that stop me and from being successful and I saw it females was one. You know I'm saying I'm like yo, it seemed like and still undefeated heavyweight champion. Like you're just see like return Bros get my father had multiple kids by multiple women, you know, I got a sister I found out you know, when I was older that I had that's only a few months younger than me. You know, I'm saying she might be nine month. Like I was just like yo, bro. I disrespected my family. Everybody got to go through they whatever I like yo, I don't want that life no more. Like I don't want to lose. So I start looking at Power egos lot of dues fail because of their ego, you know, they can't be too man. They can't serve nobody else, you know, and then money, you know, I'm saying I just saw just people would just get money like I grew up in Motown. So these young dudes will come great musicians and end up smoking crack or cocaine. It just losing me. Remind you look at Marvin Gaye, you know Al Al Green or the like to hear Sam Cooke like some of the most talented people Michael Jackson even Whitney Houston and I just start realizing like yo, if you don't deal with your demons, they ain't going nowhere. They not gonna stay in the closet. And so I was like, yo, you got to discipline yourself. I start looking at Mother Teresa Gandhi and I was like, yo, bro. Gandhi would go fast from sex and he was married he would fast from talking. You know, I just thought wow. These great people zico these people fast and not about fast and that's not the peace, but they were very disciplined people and they would not allow their exterior world to dominate or destroy their internal world. I just like you I want to get to a place where I can control me. My family members have grown. I lost the uncle cirrhosis of the liver brilliant man, but just drink and drink and drink it and I was like, yo, I do not want to my father was a substance abuser for years. I was like, yo, I don't want a life. Wear something else is controlling me, you know, like ruined I left home and said, I don't want to be controlled no more. Like I meant that like, I don't know nothing to control me, but me and so I got to put myself under extreme discipline to make sure I'm free. So when people see me you get up at three you don't drink you don't smoke. I'm not doing that because I think I'm better nobody else. Oh, I think you won't go to hell because you had a drink. I just want I want to control I want freedom and for me disciplining myself means Freedom and the less I you discipline yourself people who I told my son the other day. I was like your son. I don't not want you to have fun. I just seen a history of people who just have fun Christmas Thanksgiving Halloween New Year. They're the people learns that not all right and every night they are the people who end up in their twenties having a great deal of fun, but in a 40s and 50s, they working for somebody and I'm not saying nothing wrong with cleaning. Toilets but they doing something they don't want to do for the rest of their life and they can't retire because they played so much, you know, so for me, I just look at Venus and Serena Michael Jackson when he used to like five and six years dancing all night. I just think the more man discipline himself the greater that don't mean it's going to happen. But the greater the probability that he has this sense of freedom and I will say this the one thing I enjoy is that now where I am this don't mean I'm when you 20 30 40, I I knew I would be who I am. But I'm grateful that I discipline myself the way I did because some of the issues I could have as one of the top motivational speakers in the world. I don't have those issues and people's lives. There's only maybe half dozen seven eight categories that really matter most people, you know, they major in minor things. They focus on stuff that doesn't matter. They know more about the celebrity going in and out of rehab, but they do about their own personal development, but I look at say if you look at your body. ADI without that everything else is out the door. You don't want to be richest man the graveyard that's not gonna do it. If there is energy at there's my tality of their strength. It's going to show up in your relationship. It's going to show up in your business show up in your life. That's it. You gotta Master. He can't dabbles to important emotions are everything. I mean, you got a ton of money got everybody loves you and your primary emotions are pissed off and frustrated and your life's pissed off and frustrated matter. If you got a billion dollars or a million people loving you your life is my great relationships intimacy. Relationships especially it's where the most juice in life comes from as for the most pain comes to most people it's worth mastering spend that one, you know, really looking at what are you going to do with your time and mastering your time instead of having a checklist you cross it all off. You can mistake movement for achievement. I want to squeeze out that time with matters that creates value for me. And for everyone I care about love, what about your career or your business and the Mastery of that been adapting whilst most businesses are dabblers. It's why they don't make it 96% you know any 10-year period of x 4 percent make it that doesn't mean they're profitable and it does not mean they're enjoying themselves. All right, or they're getting anybody else to feel good really mastering money so that it's not a question of your life. You can do and be and give and share as much as you want. You're not stressed about you live in a place of months and then spiritually really I think I don't tell people to believe spiritually but I believe that ultimately whatever you believe you got to live it and it should lead to growing and giving if you're growing it feel alive if you're giving you feel And that's more like and I think it's someone can celebrate and give and that spiritual state. So to me, those are the years I look at Maastricht, you know business for sure, but it's the areas of life that matter most and most of what we spend our time doesn't make people feel fulfilled. That's why the average person is not fit and healthy. The average person is not in a relationship with have tremendous passion. The I'm not a dummy. I'm not a positive thinker. I know the truth. The average person is not successful. If this is the average person is not running what they want to earn but you know, what very few Few people have those things but a few do a few or happy fulfilled spiritually alive financially strong their business is growing. They have passionate love affairs, and I'm obsessed with finding a few do and find out what they do different teaching to everybody. Everyone's going to measure themselves differently because everyone values things differently some people value success or significance some people value love more some value just basic levels of certainty. So when I look at the specific metrics, I really look at Metrics of what are the things that need to be measured to know if your life is going to work or not? So I look at it as our whole lives are Guided moment-to-moment by the state read learning how to change your state not bullshit not fake but to go from pissed off frustrated freaked out to back in your Center or creative or determined or something that's going to move you forward. It's going to create a better quality life for you and others. That's a critical skill set. So moment to moment in life is controlled by our state's. Yep, you know if you're an angry state Respond differently to feeling playful but what controls those States long term as your model of the world your world view and I look at that as having as a metric three things that I look at. I look to see first. What are the targets are after the target is everybody has everyone has different goals and dreams and desires but as I travel around the world a hundred countries, I started going the should have seen the same problems. What's underneath it. I began to see that there are these same six human needs that we all have the same needs. We all have a need for certainty. Can avoid pain and we can have some pleasure some comfort. We all need uncertainty. We need variety or we feel dead inside of your totally certain your barn. If you have total variety of like freaked out and it's not a balanced. It's learning which of these you need more as a person everyone's developed a different set of values matter need of the need for significance feel unique special important need to feel well the need to grow and they need to contribute some people value certainty at the top of their list. That's their Center of their target. I don't want to do anything else. I know. It's going to work. I don't do anything unless it's the same if you change anything they freak out if certain is the number one thing on your list. Everyone has the same needs, but it's number one. I know how your life's going to be. I can predict the direction of your life and therefore the destination to some extent if you're driven by love first you want certainly do but one of us higher you're going to behave very differently than if you're driven by significance. I have to be the one so I look to see which of those needs are the top two on your list because they control your life the two that most people have never P % the planet if you said of all these needs which one do you really focus on most day-to-day everybody wants love what do you focus on most people focus on being significant. We live in a Facebook world where people think they're wise putting filters make it look different than it really is tell stories that you know are totally full of it to make himself look good because we live in this kind of false world where significance is more important than love and it separates us and the other one that we see most often is certainly people want to be certain before They can do something. You couldn't have started a business like you had if you're absolutely certain before you started. You can never build a business with that. You can ever build a great relationship because if it's based on certainty then everybody's gotta stay the same never change. It means you're never going to grow which means going to be miserable. So my metrics are I want to find out what's driving you I want to see is it healthy or unhealthy you can have two people be driven by significance though and do it with a different set of rules. That's the second piece. I measure the beliefs are rules of how to fulfill that Target that I want to be more clear about something an extraordinary Life Is Life on your terms and there's two parts. Part one to have an extraordinary life is mastering the skill of the science of achievement. How do I take what I Envision and make it real and how do I do that quicker faster better easier the ability to manifest what you come up with and make it real and you done with your company. Yes, that's a skill set. I spend unbelievable amount of time helping people do it faster quicker better showing the shortcuts teaching in the strategies modeling what works you can save yourself a decade. But I would submit to you that I haven't done this for 38 years with you know, 50 million people at this stage. I can tell you that the science of achievement. There are a lot of people that are damn good at that and they still have an extraordinary lives. They've been extremely life you see it as extraordinary, but I could phone call from the multi billionaire who tells me wants to do this thing on his business, but what he really find out is he's Miserable as hell and he's hoping somehow I'm going to rub off on him on that side to it. And so I gave him what he asked for. Changing his business, but I also get what he needs just the change inside of him. So the second skill is the artist of filming if you want extraordinary life, you can't just achieve you got to be fulfilled as simplistic as that sounds but it's an art. It's not a science. It's a science to making money come on any age any color any background any gender? If you do these things, you'll have an abundance of money. You do these things. You're going to have too much month at the end of the month. You're going to financial stress right body. Everyone's biochemically different, but you and I both know there's fundamental. Rules laws. There's a science in the body you violate that science. You're going to have disses you're gonna have low energy you align with that you're going to have an abundance of energy. It's going to affect everything in your life to science. That's almost not like that fulfillment is as different as argument dick. You want to know God or the universe likes look at the jungle. Look at the forest. It's diverse. Right? So most people think well, I want to get that because they've been modeling somebody else and that might work on how to achieve something. It'll never work. For wonderful Philly how many people you know, like you got what you thought you wanted and you weren't fulfilled and that I always tell people success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure the ultimate value because if you go out something and you fail you're an achiever, you don't fail you. I learned something. I'll just try something else. I want to still get there. But when you succeed in your not happy, so a perfect example this I mentioned in the seminar you were there because it hit me about it. What about a year and a month ago. We lost what I consider a National Treasure Robin. Chimes hmm and I ask people how many love Robin Williams everybody racing all around the world, right? He made people laugh people are touched by him. So how good was he at the science of achievement? I mean he want to be a great comedian like the whole world. Laughs he did. He wanted to have his own TV show. He did one of the number one show he did it. He wanted to make movies. He did he want to have an Academy Award for not being funny dramatic and he did it right that it. Yeah, you want a beautiful family. He achieved everything and he hung himself, and I know recently someone Won't you know you have dementia he had drug abuse. He had alcohol abuse muscles life because he made everybody happy. But whom I'm so that's the ultimate failure. So if I had no other message to offer your viewers and you let me give it to him right now. I'll tell you what, I believe I believe our lives are controlled by one force decisions. I certainly believe in force greater than myself call it God if you will Grace, whatever you want to call it the universe, but I also believe it gives us choices. And the decisions we make control as much more than the conditions we me. It's not the conditions that your decisions decisions what the believe decisions what to do. There's no what to give I say to people think about, you know, look back ten years ago five years ago 15 years ago and think of it as soon as you made that if you would have made a different decision, you have a totally different life today better or worse. I don't know but totally different the most important decision you can make Above any on the face of the earth is deciding the no matter what happens in your life. No matter what happens. You're going to live in a beautiful state the decision to say I am not going to suffer then if suffering arises pains one thing sufferings. Another suffering is when you're like suffering could be worried could be anger can be frustration. It's anything it takes you out of the beautiful state and here's what people don't get you can and suffering. I stop focusing on yourself and focus on something you want to say. Have greater than yourself your children your wife your mission your life. You can get out of it in an instant because the nature of the human mind is the conflict compare effects your mind in. Your brain is a two million dollar old device and is not designed to make you happy. It's not so as not to make you survive, right and that's why it's always looking for what's wrong to be what's wrong a saber-toothed tigers. I can protect myself now people are worried about what people think about them or do they have enough money when two thirds of Planet lives on $2 a day. And you're making $38,000. You're rich the poorest of the poor in our country are considered rich. That's not I'm not saying they should stay that way right, but you can only build on success my goal would have you consider something life is short. We don't know how far it's going to be, but if you only had a week to live I bet you wouldn't allow yourself to suffer over a little crap that makes you crazy. Normally. I think you would probably spend time with those you love you and do what you love you take on a sunset you I smell the air you would taking everything in those final moments that you possibly do. So my thing is, why wait, right, right. Why wait why not just decide then if I start to suffer, I know the solution because suffering is me obsessing about me - it's not me. I'm worried about my kids because they're not doing well. No, you're worried that you haven't done enough for your kids about you still right? Yes, you know you're worried about what was done or what you should have done what shouldn't have done and you can end that in an instant by becoming aware of it and saying I have made the most important decision of all, right. We live in a beautiful state because here's what's going to happen. Anybody watching you may lose a family member you probably will somebody may get cancer your business May the government might change the rules. They might change things radically that you can't even do anything about it. You might go bankrupt you might get divorced. I don't think anybody will but I'm sure no one knows what's going to really happen in your life life's full of uncertainty. But here's what you can though. You can decide then what happens you could have a great time. If somebody like Viktor Frankl can be locked up in Auschwitz and come out of that. And experience finding joy in the middle of Auschwitz and human beings have a capacity. They've undersold themself on we think that the outside world determines how we feel as if people have to behave a certain way if your husband or your wife your kids or your co-workers or whoever your boss has to behave a certain way for you to be happy. And if they don't you're unhappy then you're always going to be unhappy because the more people around you the more they're going to change that because all human my invitation is as great as it is to achieve. It's more important to enjoy and if you can enjoy every moment and that state when you're feeling loving and playful and passionate and curious and aww. You treat other people hundred times better when you're feeling frustrated pissed off overwhelmed worried stressed or feeling sorry for yourself. You're going to be a better parent. You're going to be a better lover. You're going to be a better business person again the better life. So my Soliloquy is decide decide today and actually say what if I cut it off what if I said I'm not willing to settle and I'm Just going to live in a beautiful state doesn't mean you won't feel bad and to means you won't stay there. You are instantly change what the hell is Success? It's hitting an expectation and I always tell people man trade your expectations for appreciation. It's a whole new world instantly. You can appreciate this moment. If you can't find ecstasy in this moment in a conversation with a friend and looking in your wife's eyes being with your children going on a run a fun. If you can't find Xing now I'm here to tell you more money more people more love more business more. You've not going to give you more xq go if you can't do it here now. You're not going to do it there when you got more. So why not do it now and have a rich life right now. I tell people money. That's one thing like having Financial abundance their skills. That's a science but wealth it's a decision. It's like you can be wealthy right now and I am I living feed you good fortune the time. They're these villagers. They're they're the richest people now, they're happy. They laugh. They love they don't give a damn about the economics other people say they're poor when I first went there was trying to do things for them to like, what are you talking about him, so So happy wealthy people come over from United States and they go travel around and try to figure out what to do and they're going to spend nine months, you know years to do this and this and this so they can finally sit down and be happy in the beginning guy goes. Why don't you sit on the beach right now dude, it's Prince it why spend the night in years want to have a now that's my invitation. Derek is a word that God has put in my heart that I believe it's life-changing. We've we spent a lot of times cleansing ourselves from the filthiness of the flesh lust and anger and habits and addictions and things like that. But but what is deeper is the cleansing of the heart. Your God is a god of seed. He is a goddess Sita everything he does. He does it by seed. It starts out in seed form. He sends his word which is a seed and the seed germinates and it bring forth fruit and in people's life it all starts in seed form. Your mind is to ground where seeds are planted and that's good when it's positive seeds seeds of life and seeds of healing and seeds and restoration season delivery as really cool, but it's bad when it's negative seeds like unforgiveness. And flesh carnality though the negative things for the last year. I've been studying and preparing and writing a book called Let It Go, which is built on the premise of forgiveness forgiveness. It's amazing to me how many of us as Christians never talked about forgiveness? I mean isn't that the substratum of what our faith is all about is about forgiveness in that what Jesus died on the cross for forgiveness. Isn't that what we're here singing about raising our hands about clapping of giving them fall out on the floor of my forgiveness. Everybody in this room has been forgiven. That's that's that's a victory right there. Everybody in this room has been forgiven. If you're Christian, you've been forgiven you're not here because you deserve it. You're not here because of God owes you a favor you've Forgiving isn't it funny how you could have been forgiven and found it difficult to forgive. The challenge is God wants you to be a conduit through which his character flows through he tells Paul in First Corinthians to comfort one another with the comfort wherewith you have been comforted in other words monkey. See monkey do He said when you see me conferred you just turn around and act like me to somebody else and comfort them. God will give anything to you that he can get through you. So whether you know how to do things like what I was a little boy when young with my little boy about young man, my brother seven years older than me. He was 19 when I was 12. I asked my brother. How do you kiss? Yeah, I did. I was worried, you know cuz I thought you suppose I do it wrong. And besides how do you do it he said well, he said don't worry about you. He said this whatever they do do it back. I want to finish that story because that's what got me into a whole lot of trouble but it wouldn't but at the time I started into it. It seemed like a good metaphor to teach you a very strong principle. God says whatever I do to you. Do it back. Even if you don't know how to do it, even if you're not familiar with it imitate me if I comfort you you comfort them if I bless you you bless them if I teach you you teach them if I forgive you. You forgive them. Think about this ever since we were kids. We were talking Lord's prayer Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Check this out and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. But I think I was good till we got today. That means all of my life. I have been asking God to treat me like I treat people. Do you want God to treat you like you do your old boyfriend? All y'all talking about I see how are ya you want God to treat you like you treat that person you work with and go to school with that gets on your nerves you last. Are you want God to treat you like you treat your father who didn't raise your your mother who didn't love you or that particular sister who live always compared his at the you want God to forgive you like you forgive her. Here lies the problem and everybody cannot get it forgiveness is a big idea is for people who are big enough to see the big picture and you don't how you can forgive people who really hurt you you can forgive people when you understand them. And this is the beginning of your understanding. This is understanding 101. You get the book out take you through the whole process, but this is understanding 101. You have not made a distinction between weakness and wickedness. He might've been weak, but he wasn't Wicked. She might have been weak and not Wicked some things people did they didn't do them to you they did it to themselves and you were a victim of their weakness and how arrogant of you to act like you have no Witnesses of your own. Do you hear what I'm saying to you? So I want you to begin to make the distinction between weakness and wickedness so that you can begin to understand that you can't afford not to be forgiving the bottom said blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain Mercy. Somebody shout Mercy. Now, I want you to understand it whenever you ask for Mercy, you have to understand you guilty. See if I accuse you of a crime and Didn't do the crime when you go to court. You want Justice? Because Justice is a friend who would be innocent. So when you are innocent and are falsely accuse you you pray for justice, but when I accuse you of something for which you are guilty you pray for Mercy blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain Mercy. That means that Mercy is what God releases not when they're lying on you God releases Mercy when you are guilty. And there is something that each of you know about yourselves in this room that you are guilty of and yet you have received Mercy my question then my brothers and sisters is how can you receive it and then refuse to give it? And your reason for not being forgiving of all things is because they're guilty Karen eleusis. See what he did. He guilty so you If God had better prefer giving you know, you were guilty had mercy though. You were wrong. Then it's kind of like the kissing just do back what he did to you. Let It Go Let It Go I never knew that the way people described you would become a prison until they did it when I met me. I was not a preacher. So I didn't know that they would incarcerate me with the title. You are at your best when you are authentic to your core and you have to be what you are and not what they call you. Sometimes do you like anything I'm saying sometimes people will call you a name and you start living up to the name and it limits you from what else God wants to do in your life. Listen. Listen. Clearly. I want to pronounce a benediction on every grieving weeping depressed lonely frustrated tired Spirit your period Morning is over here yesterday yesterday yesterday yesterday yesterday. If you don't believe I got some pressing me love my de my history. I think you go home the grand what on the grand really is is a work ethic that would blow your mind. It would blow your mind. I'm 60. Years old and I everybody who works for me is younger than me and they'll tell you I work you up under the table. I work you a hundred and baby. Where does that come from? My father? My father? Absolutely. My father is rigged my let me do this chair is about to break. My father's didn't hear. My mother is sitting here and they're fighting for the mic from moment to moment. My grandmother talks to you every now and then all of my ancestors are sitting on this table all the way back to Syria it's all the way back in My DNA. We were self-sufficient and all of them are sitting here folks whose name I can't even call. So what we're talking about is culture. Okay, and I'm not racial culture family culture where the demonstration of what my father decided what Grandin was you are granted. Your daddy said you were granted got you take your hands out your pockets boy like you got a million dollars in your pocket. They trained us. Not to be lazy. They talked about lazy like it was a disease when you really sit back at your life and you in that dark room and you're looking at where you started from and you tell yourself. God dog, man. My mom is this way my stupid step that I got murdered. My dad beat the shit out of me. I can't read and write to say my fucking soul. I've lied about it to everybody. I've cheated all these tests. My God, man, and then you put a goal in your mind. How you going to feel man when you accomplish this goal coming from that shit coming from the fucking hell you came from a lot of people start from a good starting point. If a good foundation, what if you can surpass all these motherfuckers if everybody who was fucking way up here started up here and you had you started with no legs. He had a girl fucking legs team start. And then crawling then run it and then you start passing people at all this give it to him. I had to use all this negative shit. That was making me weak and horrible as a person I had to use this as the power that now if you'll have to flip it on its head and say hold up. This might be exactly what I need. The darkness is exactly what I need is how you look at your situation and I was looking at it all fucked up. You have to first accept it before you can fix it. A lot of people walking around. Oh man. I'm good. I'm good. No, you're not. You have to accept what you're not you have to in people don't want to do that. That's the only way you can fix it. You have to accept it first before you can go. The journey a lot of folks never you start the journey my head and then I start to join because it live in this fake life that who they want to be. They act like they are but they're not because they haven't fixed all this stuff yet. You gotta fix this first before we can start our journey in life. So that's why I haven't make this list you fix these problems. Now your journey can begin because you no longer care about how people are judging you we when you care more about how someone is judging you you're going to stay right there. There's no for momentum. Each thing that is wrong with you has to be a focal point. You can't look at this gigantic listen, so I got changed all this shit my God, this is crazy. No. You take off the first one. I want to be smarter for me. That was my thing have to have to become more intelligent have such a severe learning disability and I can't retain shit. I had to now get that one thing and then strategize in that one problem. How can I do this? I'm not going to learn like you I'm not gonna like anybody else. How am I going to figure this out? So I didn't figure it out. Okay where my strengths here where my weaknesses in learning? All right, man. Am I going to do this and I figured out a way to do it, but it's strategizing. So how I learn to this day if I have a big manual to study. I will have to get a bunch of spiral notebooks from the from the daggone store and each page. I have to write each page out maybe 10 times. So there was a thousand-page dive manual that I got 18 months before with the dive School. Most people. I'm not smart. I'm gonna go see if I can pass this test. I realized hang on a second. I'm not smart. How can I get past this? How can I get through this obstacle? Need to get I need to acquire this book 18 months in advance because it could take me 18 months to write down each page over and over again to then put it to memory. So when the question came up, I'd written that question so many times down that you know on paper that I can recall. Okay page 71 was remember seeing this and I can recall that way and that's how I did it. So you got to strategize on each problem you have in life. Slowly break down that problem don't think about all the problems you have just one at a time and before you know it you fix all these problems, but you cannot focus on all of them just on the one thing at a time. There's a concept in your book that permeates the whole book and I think really is one of the most important things for people to understand in their own life certainly to understand you and it's the notion of the testing mediocrity talk to me about that. How do you how did you instill it in your life? How can other people instill it in there? It's one of the biggest things in the world a lot of us mediocrities everywhere right now and we're all trying to find an easy way out and we're judging ourselves. Let's say there's 10 people in this room, and we're all mediocre but The best of the mediocre people. I know think I'm great. I'm great. We surround ourselves around people that make us feel great. They tell us what we want to hear the second. We put ourselves amongst the uncommon people. We don't like that feeling that challenge them feel that of of that person's looking at three Thirty mornings. Hey, push your shit off. We're going for a run. We don't like that challenge. We like that person who says hey, you know, I mean, I don't feel good today, man. And they say oh it's okay brother. It took a day off maybe get a pizza and shit watch the game. We like that. We love that feeling why cuz you understand that we're good, bro. We don't want that motherfuckers like this. Hey, man, no, bro. Get your fucking shit on man. Stop being a punk. We don't want in our lives. We don't want that person's constantly challenging our weaknesses. We want that person is constantly, you know making us feel nice and good and secure nurse. That's the mediocrity of life. We want to be the best amongst the Rich people people wonder how do you stay hungry all the time? Because after I accomplished something I don't sit back like a lot of guys who graduate Buzz graduate this graduate that they get comfortable. They wonder why I'm getting weak man. I don't know. I've lost my Edge what's going on? Because once you hit the top of the fucking Mountain guess what happened you I'm good. I'm good. So you wonder why you're falling down now because way street top of the mountain you got booted fuck another one. That's mediocrity. There's a lot of people immediately. Daugherty who have a nice resume, but they're one-timers man. They hit they hit a one-time deal. They busted open got lot of money, but they're good your mediocre now, man. What are you fucking doing today? Tomorrow the next fucking day. That's what listen to theorists. I'll listen all that bullshit. I listen to a motherfucker who's like this man. What's wrong man? Fucking tired, dude? Why are you tired? Because tomorrow I get to do the fucking shit. Good, man, whatever the shit is that made me fucking nauseous and sick to my stomach. It made me hurt. There's no ending. And that's the person I listen to that's the person who's gained knowledge. You gain knowledge through suffering and on the other end. The suffering is a world that very few very few have ever seen. It's a beautiful world because that's where you find yourself. You. Don't find yourself in over here. You find yourself on the other end like 200-mile race. I was on I ran it for 24 hours. I found myself on the other end of that fucking race. That 19 hours. I found wow. There's a whole nother fucking world out here that never even saw that the world is in your mind. And that's with all that mediocrities about mediocrities contagious. I'm a very philosophical person. I'ma go there with you real quick. I believe in a higher power don't know the name don't know where it's coming from the leaves like that, but I believe that this power and visualize me real quick. Let's say it's a man up there or woman whatever and they have a chart and when you're born they say David Goggins. Born February 17th 1975 at 6 a.m. They write the chart down because they can see everything they know exactly what you're supposed. You're supposed to be they know where you're supposed to be you die. You go to so called Heaven you arrive at heaven. I'm 300 pounds. I retired as an Ecolab guy, which is ok. Just a job. Whatever I go up there and God looks at me and he shows in my chart and my chart on their said you were supposed to be a Navy. Deal you're supposed to be her native 5 pounds, you're supposed to be one of the smartest people in the plant this distal all this you see this and now you're in heaven you made the heaven, but you're like God like I'm supposed to live that life. I'll supposed to live that life and then you find out that the reason why because we all think that we pray on it. If you do this, if you do that, whatever we don't work. We just remember it's gonna magically happen for us. No, I believe that when I'm all said and done with my whole job is to outwork the Chart we have the fucking chart says about me the all-knowing power up there. I want to get up there and say him look at me say I know everything. I didn't fucking see this. I didn't fucking see this. I want to feel that I want to get to the other end of this fucking world and we're however, I'm being judged whoever's judging me to look at me and said I did not fucking know I had you at 185 had you that this but all this other shit. I was riding as you were living it. I want to I want to find more. All I can and in that fucking sack of shit, you have to dive in that to find more because if you're not willing to go in there and face yourself, I can find anything you go live right here on Surface man right here on Surface. So if there is an ending to this world and there is somewhere to go in this judgment. You know get there and you might see a chart in that chart may tell you who the fuck you should have been and you get the rest your life to think about. That way. I could live a much better life. Like just would have just suffered a little bit more if I just would have went in that shit and realize I had so much more but fear in the 40% and living here versus leaving here being afraid. Stop me. I've never been one to set realistic goals. I've always wanted the best. I've always wanted to be the best and I've always continued to put the work behind that. But I want you guys to realize that when people tell you to set realistic and obtainable goals, I truly believe those people without maybe realizing it are insulting you because they don't think that your fragile little ego can take the heartache of disappointment. And the truth is guys. The reason I say I say huge goals isn't just because I think I can accomplish them. It's because I know that if I don't Accomplish them those are unrealised expectations hurt the disappointment that you feel when you set massive goals and don't hit them is a great thing. All right, you guys have to understand that pain teaches when you feel pain, it should not be something that you wallow in and that you cry about maybe you can Bye-bye for today. Okay that's acceptable. But the point is is that when you have something that doesn't go the way that you want that is a trigger for you to go out and create a situation where it is impossible for you to not get what you want. And that's the difference between people who succeed and people who don't People who succeed understand that pain teaches them to level the fuck up. They don't whine and cry and bitch about how shit's unfair dude. I could just as easily be a 39 year old man crying about the girl that broke my heart when I was 17, like most people do but what did I do? And you can say this is petty you can say it's whatever. But I operate from the Dark Side mother and that means when people do wrong to me I make sure that I'm not only do what it is that they don't believe in me for but that I rub it in their face later on in life. I was not a motivated High School student. I was not a superachiever in school. I wasn't voted most likely to succeed. Okay. Okay, but that experience for me caused enough pain to kick me in the ass and say you know what? I'm gonna shove it down their throat. And you know what that's what I did and that that one instance probably carried me for the first three or four years of our peasants three or four years. I was able to think back and be like dude. I'm going to show her I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna that and you can say oh, well, that's insecurity. If you were sick. You know what I'm glad I Insecure I'm glad I was in that situation because I take the pain and I put it into productive action. I take every negative thing that someone says to me about me or whatever it is. They believe or don't believe about me and I use it to go out and do shit. When I look at people I always ask the question. I say may tell me what Nike stands for they said. Oh, I think that's easy just do it. I said tell me what it did is stands for or ink. That's easy man impossible. It's nothing I said now tell me what you stand for. People look at you today, I think excuses or people look at you. They think Victory when people look at you today think that's a person that's going to give me everything they got not on Sundays but on every day and it's not going to be predicated upon if I feel like it because I think we all know if we only worked on the days we felt like it none of us have been much accomplished. I'm talking about the real level of commitment. Not the commitment that falls in line if everything goes, right. I'm speaking of the commitment that says I am going to stay true to what I said. I would do long after the move that I've said it in his life. See most people ladies and gentlemen are stoppable. Most people are you have to do is tell them no, all you have to do is make it inconvenient for them. All you have to do is make it difficult for them and their stuff see when you go to get your goal don't think that all you have to do is think positive and everything's going to work out okey-dokey for you. When you go to get your goal. You're sending a telegram to Murphy's Law to visit you personally you thought you were just going to have a dream and a goal you were just going to wake up and just walk into the sunset. You're like Dre. It don't work like that. You have a dream and then life punked you life pumps you and say do you really want this? You won't lose friends. Do you really want this? Do you really want this cousins going to Bandy people that you used to be like this week don't think you fools you don't want to deal with you. It's a part of it, but I paid too much if I was going to quit I would have quit in the van and build it what I wanted to commit suicide and take my life. I should have quit when I heard. My boy, say your mama don't want you your daddy don't want to take your life. I got through that. So while I'm gonna quit over a pond a brave, come on, that's all I'm telling y'all. You have come too far to quit. Now. You have invested too much to quit. Now. You have lost too much to quit not don't cry mother don't whine about it get a reward for your pain and so by being committed to everything that I started. I finished it if know the certain type of spirit. Not the certain type of mentality and feel a certain type of individual and so now I can quit even if I wanted to I couldn't stop even if I wanted to I had too much like equity in my life and everything that I was doing your new clothes to quit now, you gotta take another lap. You gotta take another lap because you never know. This might be the one you can't stop cause you're tired you can't stop because you got your feelings. Sorry, you gotta take another lap keep walking. Keep walking. Keep walking. You're gonna make it. You're gonna do it. You got an Unstoppable Fire. Come on. Take another lap, don't you stop don't stop walking. You got to have the courage. Do you have the courage to act outwardly on what you see inwardly? Or when you die dreamer, will you die on the verge and on the edge and in the land of could have water and sugar? Do you have the courage I'm going to drop something on you. It takes courage to be successful. It is far easier not to be successful. Misery will always have Company Success breeds contempt. If you don't want to make waves be beating over be normal and fit in and if you're more concerned about people than you are God the neutralize everything he put in you just fit in with everybody else dress like them walk like Eat like them go where they go big like they think do what they do. And once you've neutralize your uniqueness, you don't need courage. It takes courage to be different. It takes courage to go where you've never gone before for some of you it took courage to come to this conference. It takes courage to get you outside of the body. It takes courage to be successful. It takes courage to win people. Don't talk about people that don't win if you win. They're gonna talk about you do you? To stand them. So the storms keep region and the people get to talking and your standards have come too far to turn around. Do you have the Terrence? I'm going to I'm going to say something to you. It takes courage to be exceptional. It takes courage to be worse. It takes courage to be rich. It takes courage to be educated. It takes courage to be knowledgeable because the moment you do but you don't talk like, you know, you don't have for that where you tape her. Look at you talking to it takes courage and I'm just wondering in this week watered-down lead over society that we live in today in this reality TV world. We live in today. I'm wondering if there's anybody left. That's not the courage to say after all. I've been through and all my ancestors have been through and all my parents have been through I didn't come through all of that just to fit in with normalcy have the courage to go after my dream is still woman left in this entire Coliseum. That's got some Will you hold the line? But every one of them is giving up and giving in timing in this house of mine. Nothing ever comes out a consequence of cost helmet. Well the stars in line, whatever step B. Will it save us from a see when it because this house of mine stand strong. That's the price you pay. Standing on the edge face up kids you right now. Will somebody let me see the light in the dark trees shadowing what's happening look through the past found the wrong with in the past now and we are facing a bit of Truth. Deep inside me. I'm fading. Like I'm fading to connote by the blood of my head won't break E. I can taste it in the end isn't bonus us. We're gonna make it.
