there are a few people in this room that know what is like to be in a situation
where everything in your flesh is saying give up
and yet you're in a situation where sometimes you're standing not because
you are so strong you just don't have any other option you just you're just
backed in a corner you know and you you 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 it's not that you're so tenacious and so strong
but life has got you crushed 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 to persevere and just say just just hang in there
just don't give up just don't give up
some kind of way you're going to get through this great people are people who
don't cave in they're not people where everything goes right all hell can break
loose and there's still something down inside of them if it says I'll never give up
they'll never take me alive I'll be fighting I'll have a knife in my teeth
and a rag around my head and I'll be coming at you
so what do you do when you fall down get back up everybody knows to get back up
because if I start walking I'm not gonna get anyway but I'll tell you there are some
times in life where you fall down and you feel like you don't have the
strength to get back up you so sort of put a mask on your face when you come to
school and pretend that everything's okay when it's not and you go home and
lay in your bed where no one's looking at you when you don't have to impress
anybody and you're yourself and fear comes in you know the fear that
you have as soon as you walk into the doors of your house maybe there's a
broken home maybe you have doubt in your life maybe you don't know if for sure
what's going to be happening in the future and it scares you maybe about
maybe you're worried about what people think of you what people say about you
just that fear paralyzes you and I just want to ask you today do you think you
have hope because I tell you I'm down here face down and I have no arms no
legs it should be impossible for me to get back up I mean you go home and tied
the legs and arms of your brothers and sisters and like push them down and see
how long it's gonna take him to get back up you know what I mean you know you can
tell them that you'll see them tomorrow you know what I mean but this is the
thing it should be impossible for me to get back up but it's not you see I will
try 100 times to get up and if I fail 100 times if I fail and I give up do you
think that I'm ever gonna get up no but if I fail I try again and again and
again for as long as I try it is always that chance of getting up does that make
sense and it's not the end until you've given
up and just the fact that you're here should persuade you but you have another
chance to get back up there's still hope I'm not here today to tell you that I
understand your pain I don't know how it feels to be abused
I don't know how it feels to feel quote fat and you've got an eating disorder I
don't know how it feels to have a broken home I don't know how it feels but I
know how it feels to have a broken heart and I know how it feels to be alone and I want you to
know that I found my strength in Jesus Christ and you're gonna find your
strength in whatever you find it in but I just want you to know that it's not
the end it matters how you're gonna finish are you going to finish strong
and you will find that strength to get back up like this
see the hustle man somebody sent me a wonderful sign one day it was like a
sign that goes in front of a house that's for sale it says the dream is
free the hustle is sold separately and that's so true man you never see you can
never give up you don't ever know where God is just waiting on you to pass the
test but but you have to stay with something and go through the test to get
to the end see so you can;t get if you quit there's no way you'll ever know you
have to keep putting one foot in front of the other
even if you don't know what it wait it's not your job to know the way it's just a
job to believe that's what people and that's up as people you try to figure it
out show me the scripture that tells you to figure it out where's that scripture
there's no scripture tells you to figure it out it tells you to ask and believe
that what you got to do ask God for something then believe it and now if
you gotta be willing to hustle because the
hustle is sold separately now is the dream for you dream all day long
but the hustle sold separately it's hard changing your life it was hard when just
over three years ago in the Penobscot building in Detroit Michigan where I was
operating my business and I fell on some hard times and I was sleeping in my
office it was hard coming into the lobby and
the security said excuse me Mr Brown can we see you for a moment
and I said yes and I walked up to the counter and he gave me an envelope and
he said would you mind reading it here and I opened the envelope and the
envelope was from management that says this is an office tower it's not a hotel
please do not sleep in your office and I said excuse me sir I said I just work
long hours in creating my business I'm an entrepreneur and right now things are
bad for me but they're not going to be this way always and I just asked for the
opportunity to continue to operate like I'm doing I'm not trying to make this my
home and it was hard coming through the lobby and sometimes they would laugh
there's a guy talking about becoming successful and look at him he's bathing
in the bathroom upstairs on the 21st floor he sleeps on the floor him and two
other dreamers up there look at him it was hard ladies and gentlemen coming
to speak to people and I was facing financial difficulties in my own life I
was behind on my bills and my dreams and I'm saying to them you can live your
dream it was hard ladies and gentlemen it was very difficult to pick myself up
each day believing that I can do it there were times that I doubted myself
and say God why why is this happening to me I'm just trying to take care of my
children and my mother I'm not trying to steal a Rob from anybody how did this
have to happen to me it was very hot and here's what I want
to say to you for those of you that have experienced some hardships don't give up
on your dream no one could have convinced me by holding on by continuing
to push forward by continuing to run toward my dream that one day I would
have my own talk show it's a long shot ladies and gentlemen from Liberty City
an abandoned building auto flaw never annoying my mother or father it's a long
shot being here with you today in this dome
in Atlanta it's a long shot no college training labeled educable
mentally retarded but I kept running toward my dream
don't stop
don't stop
don't stop running toward your dream
the best way to maintain a habit is not to expect yourself to follow it at all
times number two is to simultaneously
recognizing that adherence to habits herbs and flows the problem the mistake
that people make is they say all right I had this diet I just digressed therefore
I should just throw it all out and I'm going to eat cookies for the next six
months because I had one cookie and I think that is is flawed on a lot of
levels there are tools you can use like lift which I'm involved with which was
incubated by the Twitter guys at obvious but ultimately the the last point I'll
make is one new habit at a time the best way to avoid abandoning new habits is to
only adopt one at a time and one of the issues with cooking this will be my last
point so when people say I want to learn how to cook they're typically trying to
adopt five or so new habits at the time grocery shopping prep cooking cleaning
of course you're gonna fail so just picking picking one at a time try to
make the new habits earlier in the day hey it's a lot easier to take a habit
that you've already created and that's already running and kind of move it a
little bit later than the day than it is to create a new habit later in the day
so off for example if you want to focus your time and uninterrupted blocks start
by focusing the first hour of your day in an uninterrupted focused block every
single day where you're working on something important make it a habit
make it a ritual
