Don't Give Up! Stay In It! Stay Focused!

When you feel like giving up, don't. 

When you're thinking about giving up, don't. 

When it looked like you ain't gonna make it, keep going. 

When they tell you you can't, come on man... who are they? When they tell you you're not gonna make it, don't believe a man, don't believe them. You got to be RELENTLESS.

Remember, quitting guarantees failure. Once you quit, it rules out any chance of succeeding. Waking up every day putting the next foot in front of the next foot at least keeps you in the game. But you can choose in the midst of all of this that's going on to be happy in spite of life's challenges. 

See, a lot of us because of our limited vision of ourselves a lot of us who begin to focus on problems and enable them to overwhelm us - we begin to think that we have no options, we begin to believe that there's no way out. Well... guess what - "There's always a way, where there's a will there's a way."

we have two primary choices in life, we can either accept conditions as they exist or we can take the responsibility to change them. See a lot of people want to exempt themselves from taking responsibility. All they want to do is talk about the problem. Every time you see them they'll tell you their story over and over and over and over again. No... No... you want to take responsibility for your life. I got me here, I can get me out of this and I'm getting out. I'm not going to be a VOLUNTEER VICTIM. I'm UNSTOPPABLE!!! 

This will not get me down. And you've got to make those kinds of declarations to yourself. I have never met anybody who became incredibly successful in any area of their life until they had suffered and sweated and sacrificed and kept their focus and fought through tears and trials and tests and if you have a dream and you commit to it it will come to praise. You must have patience and engage in consistent action. 

We live in a world where people want instant gratification they want it right now.  No..no..no, it's simple but it's not easy. It's a system that - if you work the system it works if you work it, but make no mistake about it. It's hard... you are the determining factor. The people that make it in this world look around for the circumstances that they want and if they can't find them they create them. it's you that you must take personal responsibility to make it happen. It's hard, not easy, it's not an option, however - what you will discover is that it's worth it.

Sometimes I ask myself, Why it is worth it for me to become a diamond, to experience that level of achievement. What is it that will give me the drive? what is it that will ignite the courage in me to get up and come back again and again and again? How is it that I would be able, what reasons that can tap into that deep down feeling that goes to my gut, that no matter how many times I get knocked down that I'll be coming back strongly?

This is how you do it first over the past a few years ago - with no money, no human resources, no building, no funding, no support. The first thing we did was WE DREAMED!!! We wrote the dream doll, we rehearsed the dream, we looked at the dream, we talked about the dream, we slept with the dream, we woke up to the dream, we wore the dream and now boom it's our reality. 

And for some of you, who stopped dreaming... you dream for a week and you stop because things around you don't look good. You dream for a month then when you get hit in the mouth you quit and you give up your dream for a while. And when people tell you crazy when people tell you stupid and what people tell you can never get done, you stop dreaming and you go back to knowledge. I dare you to use your imagination, I dare you when you broke to use your imagination, I dare you when you're rich to use your imagination, I dare you under every single circumstance keep dreaming keep looking at your dream. Keep focusing on your dream. Keep going after the dream because that's where true success is.

Don't Give Up! Stay In It! Stay Focused!
