I would rather you confront fight fail than for you to just settle for the comfort of remaining the same.
You can not depend on someone's motivation because motivation takes motion, motivation takes movement, and if you depend on outside sources to keep you going, when that outside sources goes away you go back to your default setting too.
But if you can find your why, if you can find that thing inside of you like that motivation, that mojo that internal fire, that thing that pushes you, if you find your why man and you find your inspiration that's inside of you, nothing can move you.
Alot of us we just want to feel like we belong, we just want to fit in, we just want to find the place in the world,where we can find our RHYTHM, where we find purpose,
Some of us are compromising who you are because you want to fit into a narrative, you want to fit into a group, into a crowd, into a clique of people, but when you look in the mirror, that is not who really you are, but you are afraid to make the choice and the change and to make real life choices that you know will activate the thing inside of you that you are passionate about.
I get it's hard for us, some of us to step in to our story, but I give you my world we can do hard things I truthfully did not like the guys that I hid behind my anger and my rage,that was not really who I was I may try to convince myself when I am alone but there were moments when I would look in the mirror and you would see that spark in your eyes that truthfully, that is not really who you are.
I will affirm, I know your life has been challenging and I bet many of you come from broken families and many of you come from unhealthy environments at times and places in your story and things have not been easy but you are not the product of those but you are the product of what you do and you can control every space and places that your life goes from this point on.
If you come here just to may be motivated and if you come here just to be entertained that is not going to change your life, what change our lives when we look in the mirror and we decide to say, you know I am going to begin to confront me, I am going to try to be the better parent the better spouse the better friend the better student just a better human being.
That is the thing that we do and the choices that we make and how we treat people and if we can be intentional on those areas, man life life can be pretty amazing.
When pressure begins to build what called life because life is going to bring you ups and downs and mountains and valleys and I am sure some of us your back story is full of upsand downs and good days and bad days, I bet some of you in here your back stories full of a lot more difficulties and some traumas and some things it's hard for others to comprehend see pressure it can create diamonds or it can bust a pipe.
Pressure is not the problem listen to be honest man your life what you faced in next years 2024 and 2025 and what some of you have experienced the last several years in your life it's not going to be the most difficult thing that you probably have ever had to face may be some of you.
It's been extremely painful may be you have lost someone close to you of a trauma or an abuse or something really painful has happened, but for most of us 2024 and 2025 won't be the most difficult thing that you have ever faced in your life.
Life is about these ups and these downs and its about pressure and insecurities and just challenges, the challenge for you and me is WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE PRESSURE THAT WE ARE IN? will we allow the pressure to bust the pipe or will we step into uncomfortable step into our story, and to realize the pressure, the challenges, the difficult situations.
If I grab a hold of it and take control of what I can control which is me and my reaction and how I respond that pressure can become something valuable like a diamond, because these are a lot of characteristics and behaviours and habits that we develop it's not that we set out and we began to have negative thought patterns, and we did not set out to have negative habits, finally it's never too late time to change.
