DARE TO LEAP

I dare you to work on yourself for 6 months. I dare you to shut out the world. I dare you to to shut out all of the distractions. I dare you to to give up everything that is keeping you from your dream. Every day I wake up, I got all kind of demands, you got all kind of demands, and the reason why you're not where you wanna be, you taking all other people's stuff before you spend enough time with yourself to get to know you and get to know what you want and what you should do. Come on y'all, y'all heard it a million times, in case of an emergency, put the doggone mask on yourself first. And the problem with most of y'all in this room, you giving it to everybody else first. And then you pissed when you give it to everybody else first and you come up short and you wondering why you came up short, 'cause you gave it to everybody else first. Take care of you.

In order to have unbelievable options and choices in your life, in your pursuit of your dream you must eliminate them. You must shrink your focus down to one thing, one business, one focus at one time and master it and get great at it for an extended period of time. The irony of life is that the more you shrink your options in pursuit of your dream, the more it will open them up in your life later. What are the things that are stealing your focus? Who are the people that are stealing your focus? And begin to eliminate these distractions. Get laser focused and obsessed on what you want. Be starving and hungry to get it. Be desperate to get it. The combination of desperation and hunger with laser focus over an extended period of time is the formula to be great at something. What's the immediate first massive action you're going to take? The first step. It's unplug the TV, it's remove the video game, it's throw out the junk food, it's remove a certain person from your life. I don't know what it is. But what is the immediate massive action? You might have to lose something. Where you trying to go, you might have to give up some friends, you might have to give up some opportunities, you might have to give up some stuff to go from good to great, and everybody talk that talk. Everybody talk about going to the next level. Everybody's talking it until it's time to pay up. And when it's time to pay, there are people who are not willing to pay.

You're gonna have to sacrifice some sleep to get this one. You can't get up at the same time. You're gonna have to sacrifice some friendships to get to this one. You're gonna have to sacrifice some entertainment to get to this one. And the only way you prove to yourself that you really want it, is that you no longer hit the snooze button. You no longer lose focus when you're studying. You no longer take shortcuts. You no longer playing games. You are willing to do whatever it takes. I'll do whatever it takes to get to that milestone. It's your dream, nobody's gonna see it like you do. It's your dream, nobody's gonna feel it like you feel it. It's your dream, nobody's gonna be as dedicated to it as you are. It's your dream and they don't have to understand and they don't have to like it. It doesn't make a difference, it's your dream. And you my friend have been given the task to make it happen, and you can't let anything stop you from doing what you were called to do.
