    this targets 10 do most of or nine do
  • 00:01:41
    most of fighting one is a
  • 00:01:44
    warrior and it's a true quote to life I
  • 00:01:48
    saw it going through train I saw it
  • 00:01:50
    everywhere I went there's so many people
  • 00:01:52
    who just show up to life they shouldn't
  • 00:01:54
    even be around and there's few people do
  • 00:01:58
    all the work I wanted to be part of that
  • 00:02:00
    and I'm working towards being that one
  • 00:02:04
    right now in life your family is looking
  • 00:02:06
    for that one guy right now they're
  • 00:02:08
    looking for that one guy who's strong
  • 00:02:11
    who's that pillar for the family in hard
  • 00:02:13
    times make sure they look around they
  • 00:02:16
    look around and find you these are the
  • 00:02:19
    times right now for you to step up be
  • 00:02:21
    that guy that can take
  • 00:02:23
    anything you see that look right there
  • 00:02:26
    don't ever let a man see you like that
  • 00:02:30
    cuz you give him the power over
  • 00:02:32
    you if you got to take a l you take it
  • 00:02:35
    with your head up chest
  • 00:02:38
    out like a man Dr Carter had a tear in
  • 00:02:42
    his eye I could tell he felt for me then
  • 00:02:44
    he said son I'm sorry to say you're not
  • 00:02:46
    going to box
  • 00:02:48
    again and I looked at him I said no Dr K
  • 00:02:51
    you're wrong I am going to box again see
  • 00:02:55
    you don't understand what kind of man I
  • 00:02:57
    am you're a man you are a man stand up
  • 00:03:02
    and be a man make the hard decisions
  • 00:03:05
    make the
  • 00:03:07
    sacrifices make the unpopular decisions
  • 00:03:10
    and become comfortable in your own skin
  • 00:03:13
    and if you are not a person that you are
  • 00:03:16
    comfortable being alone
  • 00:03:18
    with that is the one person in this
  • 00:03:21
    universe that you have full power full
  • 00:03:24
    right and full responsibility to change
  • 00:03:26
    if you had to create a human what would
  • 00:03:29
    you put them through to make them
  • 00:03:30
    tough it probably wouldn't be a really
  • 00:03:33
    chill life what would you put them
  • 00:03:35
    through to make them patient you
  • 00:03:36
    probably wouldn't give them things
  • 00:03:38
    immediately and so it's like we want
  • 00:03:40
    these
  • 00:03:40
    traits but each of the traits has a
  • 00:03:43
    price tag attached to it and it's just
  • 00:03:44
    like do you want to pay the price tag to
  • 00:03:46
    get the thing and so I think if if
  • 00:03:47
    people reframe the the period of life
  • 00:03:50
    that they're going through as the price
  • 00:03:51
    that they're paying out of their wallet
  • 00:03:52
    but the wallet is their time is the
  • 00:03:54
    seconds of life that they're trading for
  • 00:03:55
    it then I think more people will be
  • 00:03:57
    willing to make the trade because at
  • 00:03:58
    least when I look at myself like when
  • 00:04:00
    I'm 80 something years old and I'm
  • 00:04:01
    looking back on my life I want to have
  • 00:04:02
    these traits but in order to have those
  • 00:04:04
    traits I know I have to go through these
  • 00:04:05
    things and I think for me that's given
  • 00:04:06
    me a lot of comfort in hard times
  • 00:04:10
    everything counts everything that you do
  • 00:04:14
    counts the biggest mistake that people
  • 00:04:16
    make is they think that only what they
  • 00:04:18
    want to count counts no when you read a
  • 00:04:22
    book when you listen to an audio program
  • 00:04:24
    when you go to a course when you go to
  • 00:04:26
    bed early and get up early and you work
  • 00:04:28
    it all counts and it's all going on the
  • 00:04:31
    plus side of your Ledger it's the
  • 00:04:33
    moments in life the decisions you make
  • 00:04:35
    on a on on a moment to moment basis that
  • 00:04:38
    add up to be the guy or not the guy
  • 00:04:42
    tonight I did something you know that
  • 00:04:45
    feel more of a guy for me who I am my
  • 00:04:48
    guy partying is weakness for the soul my
  • 00:04:51
    friends so I I try and avoid it you're
  • 00:04:54
    up 20 what's the story are you not happy
  • 00:04:57
    or you're only half happy or still to be
  • 00:05:00
    happy about you're up too old job's not
  • 00:05:02
    finished job
  • 00:05:05
    finished I don't think so yeah so the
  • 00:05:09
    goal was to be the first one at
  • 00:05:11
    breakfast so I set my
  • 00:05:14
    alarm I make sure I'm up by Sunrise I
  • 00:05:17
    get out of bed I put on my gear and I
  • 00:05:18
    head
  • 00:05:19
    downstairs but when I get there Kobe's
  • 00:05:23
    already
  • 00:05:24
    there with ice packs on his knees
  • 00:05:27
    drenched in
  • 00:05:28
    sweat now it took me a minute to figure
  • 00:05:31
    it out but this guy wasn't only awake
  • 00:05:33
    before me he had already worked
  • 00:05:37
    out he had just played in the finals
  • 00:05:39
    days earlier
  • 00:05:41
    meanwhile I'd been off for months and I
  • 00:05:44
    was still
  • 00:05:45
    exhausted what he had done that morning
  • 00:05:47
    was incomprehensible to me that
  • 00:05:50
    dedication he had only days after
  • 00:05:52
    falling short of an NBA
  • 00:05:55
    championship that taught me some I've
  • 00:05:57
    never
  • 00:05:58
    forgotten Legends aren't defined by
  • 00:06:01
    their
  • 00:06:02
    successes they're defined by how they
  • 00:06:04
    bounce back from their
  • 00:06:06
    failures and that's what I hope to
  • 00:06:08
    communicate to anyone watching
  • 00:06:11
    this I I he you know I heard a quote one
  • 00:06:14
    time from Vincent Van go that really
  • 00:06:17
    rang true he said he has dedicated his
  • 00:06:20
    life to his art and he has lost his mind
  • 00:06:23
    in the process when I sat and I thought
  • 00:06:25
    about that it sounded very familiar I
  • 00:06:29
    have given every single
  • 00:06:31
    thing every ounce of my life to this
  • 00:06:34
    craft to perfecting my craft and I
  • 00:06:35
    continue to do so and in the process I
  • 00:06:38
    have lost my mind but in in in a good
  • 00:06:42
    way to regular Society to people who
  • 00:06:45
    wake up at 900 a.m. Who clock out at
  • 00:06:49
    5:00 p.m. they would look at me and say
  • 00:06:51

  • 00:09:07
    little bit longer I should have I should

  • 00:09:12
    something with your life that makes them
  • 00:09:14
    regret turning you away and turning you
  • 00:09:17
    over that means getting better and not
  • 00:09:19
    bitter the thing I would say
  • 00:09:22
    is when you grow up you tend to get told
  • 00:09:26
    that the world is the way it is and
  • 00:09:28
    you're
  • 00:09:29
    your life is just to live your life
  • 00:09:31
    inside the world try not to bash into
  • 00:09:33
    the walls too much uh uh try to have a
  • 00:09:36
    nice family life have fun save a little
  • 00:09:39
    money
  • 00:09:41
    um but life that's a very limited life
  • 00:09:45
    life can be much broader once you
  • 00:09:47
    discover one simple fact and that is
  • 00:09:49
    everything around you that you call life
  • 00:09:52
    was made up by people that were no
  • 00:09:54
    smarter than you and you can change it
  • 00:09:57
    you can influence it you can you can
  • 00:09:59
    build your own things that other people
  • 00:10:01
    can use and George Foreman
  • 00:10:04
    admits that he gave Muhammad Ali
  • 00:10:07
    everything he had and Muhammad Ali
  • 00:10:09
    grabbed him and pulled him to
  • 00:10:11
    him old man hadn't fought in years hurt
  • 00:10:15
    and Muhammad Ali pulled to him and said
  • 00:10:17
    is that all you
  • 00:10:19
    got and George Foreman said when he
  • 00:10:21
    heard the words said all you got it
  • 00:10:24
    penetrated his spirits and said I didn't
  • 00:10:26
    gave my man everything I got I can't
  • 00:10:29
    seem to knock him
  • 00:10:30
    down and Muhammad Ali said when he said
  • 00:10:33
    that to him he looked into the pupils of
  • 00:10:35
    his eyes and he said at that point he
  • 00:10:37
    knew George pman had
  • 00:10:39
    lost you know basketball for me was the
  • 00:10:42
    most important
  • 00:10:44

    to try to learn how to become a better
  • 00:10:55

    other guys aren't and I've got to learn
  • 00:15:01
    I've got to continue to be open to
  • 00:15:03
    learning the message I try to deliver to
  • 00:15:05
    people is play to win don't play to
  • 00:15:09

    designing the next five the next 10
  • 00:15:31
    years is so vitally important what do
  • 00:15:34

    like to share how much would you like to
  • 00:15:41
    earn how far would you like to go those
  • 00:15:44
    are some major questions to ask personal
  • 00:15:47
    development is striving hard to become
  • 00:15:49
    the kind of person that you want to be
  • 00:15:53
    and to become the kind of person you
  • 00:15:54
    want to be you've got to work at it 10
  • 00:15:58
    years from now you will surely become
  • 00:16:00
    someone the big question is who what are
  • 00:16:04
    you becoming and if you go to work on it
  • 00:16:06
    now sure enough in a very short period
  • 00:16:09
    of time you can take on a new direction
  • 00:16:11
    to become the kind of person you want to
  • 00:16:12
    be the end of every day you look
  • 00:16:14
    yourself in a mirror and you ask
  • 00:16:16
    yourself did I get better today if the
  • 00:16:17
    answer is yes and you do that for 5
  • 00:16:20
    years 10 years 15 years how much better
  • 00:16:23
    are you going to be are you getting
  • 00:16:24
    better every single day that's the
  • 00:16:25
    question and it's just taking small
  • 00:16:27
    steps you don't try try to get it all
  • 00:16:29
    done in one day in one week in one year
  • 00:16:34
    it's the process of getting better every
  • 00:16:36
    day and doing that for a period of years
  • 00:16:39
    that then create the Masterpiece is
  • 00:16:41
    there any limit to your ambition no or
  • 00:16:46
    any limit to what you think you can
  • 00:16:48
    achieve no cuz I think right now if I
  • 00:16:52
    was to quit rapping and I said I want to
  • 00:16:54
    go to the NBA I would be in the NBA no
  • 00:16:56

  • 00:16:58
    would no you would yes I would why would
  • 00:17:00
    you think you could make it to the NBA
  • 00:17:02
    cuz I think I can do anything let me
  • 00:17:04
    leave you with some words from Muhammad
  • 00:17:05
    Ali impossible it's just the big word
  • 00:17:09
    thrown around by small men who find it
  • 00:17:11
    easier to live in a world that they've
  • 00:17:13
    been given than to explore the power
  • 00:17:15
    they have to change it impossible is not
  • 00:17:18
    a fact it's an opinion impossible is not
  • 00:17:20
    a declaration it's a dare two forms of
  • 00:17:24
    pain pain that breaks you and a pain
  • 00:17:27
    that changes you that's the pain of the
  • 00:17:29
    change right there that's the pain of
  • 00:17:31
    progress the pain that destroys you
  • 00:17:34
    isn't this it's later in life knowing
  • 00:17:36
    you could have been more and all it's
  • 00:17:38
    left is you and the miror and tears of a
  • 00:17:41
    possibility left that you allow to die
  • 00:17:44
    own your life guys you have every
  • 00:17:46
    opportunity there's no excuse not to be
  • 00:17:49
    the hardest worker in the room in all
  • 00:17:52
    your endeavors school work the gym your
  • 00:17:54
    career your relationship your needs
  • 00:17:56
    attached to it it's got to mean more
  • 00:17:58
    than anything yeah I go to sleep I wake
  • 00:18:01
    up I work go to sleep wake up work do
  • 00:18:03
    that 7 days a week yeah I don't quit you
  • 00:18:07
    know I may not make it the first time
  • 00:18:09
    but I'll come back I got to get my head
  • 00:18:12
    back in the game I got to I got to
  • 00:18:13
    figure this out it doesn't mean you
  • 00:18:16
    leave it means you study it more it
  • 00:18:18
    means you study it more and and whenever
  • 00:18:20
    I feel at something people always say
  • 00:18:22
    man how do you handle failure man I
  • 00:18:23
    don't look at failure as failure I look
  • 00:18:25
    at failure as your first second third
  • 00:18:28
    fourth fifth attempt I look at them as
  • 00:18:31
    attempts I don't look at anything as
  • 00:18:33
    failure not trying is failure I will
  • 00:18:36
    never quit because if you quit you're
  • 00:18:39
    done you may still be alive walking
  • 00:18:41
    around on this Earth you're done I will
  • 00:18:44
    never quit I will persevere and I will
  • 00:18:46
    thrive on adversity my team expects me
  • 00:18:49
    to be physically harder and mentally
  • 00:18:51
    stronger than our
  • 00:18:53
    opponents I hold myself to that standard
  • 00:18:56
    people don't see that people will never
  • 00:18:58
    understand understand that to be success
  • 00:19:01
    you know all they think about well he
  • 00:19:02
    bet at 202 you know and he struck out
  • 00:19:06
    certain number of times yeah okay you
  • 00:19:09
    know but the effort was there and the
  • 00:19:11
    learning curve and the passion was there
  • 00:19:15
    that has
  • 00:19:16
    transcended not just to
  • 00:19:18
    me but to other people who are afraid to
  • 00:19:22
    do things because they're worried about
  • 00:19:24
    the perception that may come from other
  • 00:19:26
    places to me that's more gratifying
  • 00:19:29
    than anything you know um so that's the
  • 00:19:32
    things that my father and my mother
  • 00:19:34
    instilled in me take a negative and turn
  • 00:19:35
    it into a positive don't be afraid to
  • 00:19:38
    fail the unfulfilled potential is the
  • 00:19:40
    story of most people's lives it is it is
  • 00:19:43
    it and it could have been the story of
  • 00:19:45
    mine and I tell a lot of people people
  • 00:19:47
    go what's your biggest fear in life and
  • 00:19:50
    my biggest fear honestly was that's not
  • 00:19:53
    me man and God looks at me and says
  • 00:19:56
    that's who you were supposed to be I was
  • 00:19:58
    going to work that hard every single day
  • 00:20:00
    so that when I do retire I have no
  • 00:20:03
    regrets and that was the most important
  • 00:20:06
    thing for me is to leave no stone
  • 00:20:08
    unturned get better every single day and
  • 00:20:11
    if I live that way then over time you
  • 00:20:14
    know I'd have something that was
  • 00:20:15
    beautiful but that was my philosophy it
  • 00:20:17
    seems like a pretty simple one but you
  • 00:20:20
    know if you live your life to just get
  • 00:20:21
    better every single day you do that for
  • 00:20:24
    20 years I mean what do you have my
  • 00:20:26
    personal goal is to squeeze every ounce
  • 00:20:28
    of potential out of whatever I have and
  • 00:20:31
    I think that if you feel like you have
  • 00:20:33
    potential left over then it will eat you
  • 00:20:35
    alive until you do something about it
  • 00:20:37
    almost every successful person that I
  • 00:20:39
    have ever encountered has gone through
  • 00:20:41
    not a month or a year but many years of
  • 00:20:46
    doing work without reward where they
  • 00:20:50
    have to do things that other people find
  • 00:20:52
    boring and they have to sacrifice things
  • 00:20:54
    that everyone finds interesting that
  • 00:20:56
    most people want to do during that
  • 00:20:58
    entire season of their life and they
  • 00:20:59
    basically sacrifice a season of other
  • 00:21:03
    things that they would prefer to do to
  • 00:21:05
    do stuff that they would not prefer to
  • 00:21:07
    do because of the one thing they want
  • 00:21:09
    most
  • 00:21:10
    why we all ask why we should work this
  • 00:21:13
    hard why take that many classes why go
  • 00:21:17
    to school that many years you know why
  • 00:21:19
    take the notes why read the books why
  • 00:21:22
    work that hard why put yourself through
  • 00:21:24
    the push-ups and the disciplines why
  • 00:21:27
    good question why
  • 00:21:30
    best answer to why I think is the second
  • 00:21:32
    question why not why not see how many
  • 00:21:36
    books you can read how many classes you
  • 00:21:37
    can take how many skills you can develop
  • 00:21:40
    why not see how valuable you can become
  • 00:21:41
    to the marketplace and to your friends
  • 00:21:43
    and to your
  • 00:21:44
    family why not see what you can make of
  • 00:21:47
    yourself why not see how far you can go
  • 00:21:49
    how much you can see how much you can
  • 00:21:51
    earn how much you can share why not
  • 00:21:56
    that's the Heritage all of us have in
  • 00:21:57
    America especially is to see what we can
  • 00:21:59
    make out of our Lives now that we've
  • 00:22:01
    been given this extraordinary
  • 00:22:03
    opportunity just be the best version of
  • 00:22:06
    yourself in anything that you
  • 00:22:08
    do you don't have to live anybody else's
  • 00:22:11
    story um sometimes people make it seem
  • 00:22:13
    like you have to have certain
  • 00:22:14
    prerequisites or or crazy life story in
  • 00:22:17
    order to be successful in this world um
  • 00:22:20
    but the truth is you you really don't it
  • 00:22:22
    doesn't matter where you come from what
  • 00:22:25
    you have or don't have what you lack
  • 00:22:28
    what you have too much of but all you
  • 00:22:31
    need to have is is faith in God an
  • 00:22:33
    undying passion for what you do or what
  • 00:22:37
    you choose to do in this life and a
  • 00:22:39
    Relentless drive and the will to do
  • 00:22:41
    whatever it takes to be successful and
  • 00:22:43
    whatever you put your mind to make sure
  • 00:22:46
    you live in the moment and work your
  • 00:22:49
    every single day everybody's asleep man
  • 00:22:52

    the opportunity to to check the box in
  • 00:23:23
    life you know achieve your dreams and
  • 00:23:26
    that's not always open mind live your
  • 00:23:28

    pride like wow my dad was a bad he
  • 00:23:43
    really did what he had to do i' love a
  • 00:23:45
    success story but even more than a
  • 00:23:47
    success story I like a dude who his life
  • 00:23:50
    up and then gets it back together again
  • 00:23:52
    story whoever's listening to this if you

  • 00:23:57
    and you gave give to someone would it
  • 00:24:00
    change their life for the better if not
  • 00:24:03
    you get to work if you go visit the
  • 00:24:07
    darkness that you've been running from
  • 00:24:10
    you'll have the opportunity to leave a
  • 00:24:13
    better person you'll have a better
  • 00:24:16
    understanding of yourself you'll have a
  • 00:24:17
    better understanding of your
  • 00:24:20
    purpose but if you don't take that trip
  • 00:24:23
    and the darkness comes visit you It's a
  • 00:24:25
    guest that will never leave bad days
  • 00:24:29
    create the story that I'm one day going
  • 00:24:31
    to tell myself about what I got through
  • 00:24:33
    you know what I mean
  • 00:24:34
    yeah without the bad days the story
  • 00:24:37
    would be way more lame there would be no
  • 00:24:40
    glory in overcoming anything cuz what
  • 00:24:42
    did you
  • 00:24:42
    overcome it happens like this you work
  • 00:24:46
    you work you work you work nothing
  • 00:24:48
    happens you work you work you work you
  • 00:24:50
    watch some people fall off nothing
  • 00:24:52
    happens it's hard difficult and lonely
  • 00:24:55
    you work you work you work still nothing
  • 00:24:58
    happens
  • 00:24:59
    and then for the people that persist and
  • 00:25:01
    last the test of time that overcome the
  • 00:25:05
    adversity that continue to do the
  • 00:25:07
    personal development work and continue
  • 00:25:09
    to put pressure and March forward under
  • 00:25:12
    any and all circumstances it happens
  • 00:25:15
    like this it's hockey stick growth you
  • 00:25:18
    just take off I'm not good enough smart
  • 00:25:22
    enough I'm not talented enough some
  • 00:25:26
    people are some people going start at 1
  • 00:25:29
    some people know how to start it off if
  • 00:25:31
    you lack Talent you can't sit back and
  • 00:25:35
    say I start in half an
  • 00:25:38
    hour I can't do that I got to start now
  • 00:25:42
    and after I get back from starting I got
  • 00:25:44
    to start again and when I get done with
  • 00:25:46
    that run or that study session if it
  • 00:25:48
    wasn't good enough I got to go back
  • 00:25:49
    again so you can honestly outwork
  • 00:25:52
    anything I never looked at things as
  • 00:25:55
    problems I look at them as opportunities
  • 00:25:57
    maybe look maybe that's something I can
  • 00:25:59
    say you know so ah but she did this and
  • 00:26:02

  • 00:26:06
    because they said this and sin and said
  • 00:26:08
    that yeah well well what an opportunity
  • 00:26:09
    you have to make a difference anything
  • 00:26:13
    in life that you put your mind to you
  • 00:26:16
    can do the world the world is your
  • 00:26:18
    oyster only thing promis is death so
  • 00:26:21
    basically life is like a game so you had
  • 00:26:24
    to play the game the way you want to
  • 00:26:25
    play it rest at the end not in the
  • 00:26:27
    middle
  • 00:26:29
    and that's something I always live by
  • 00:26:32
    you know I'm not going to rest I'm going
  • 00:26:33
    to keep on pushing now there a lot of
  • 00:26:35
    answers that I don't have even questions
  • 00:26:39
    that I don't have but I'm just going to
  • 00:26:41
    keep going the mindset of a winner which
  • 00:26:43
    is a winner does more than expected
  • 00:26:45
    every single time no matter how they
  • 00:26:47
    feel no matter the circumstances a
  • 00:26:49
    winner shows up 10x times more than the
  • 00:26:52
    average person a winner has these
  • 00:26:55
    unreasonable expectations of himself a
  • 00:26:57
    winner knows that he's destined for
  • 00:27:00
    greatness and no matter how many people
  • 00:27:02
    around him tell him to slow down be
  • 00:27:04
    careful watch out that's too risky you
  • 00:27:06
    don't have the genetics the DNA the
  • 00:27:08
    money the mind the brain power for that
  • 00:27:11
    a winner locks on to their goals and
  • 00:27:13
    keeps going this is yours you're the
  • 00:27:17
    captain you're the master you're the
  • 00:27:21

  • 00:28:14
    thing there guys this body as great as
  • 00:28:17
    you are as sharp as you make the Arsenal
  • 00:28:20
    it can't do anything if you don't have
  • 00:28:22
    confidence in yourself We All Fall Down
  • 00:28:24
    in life the question is who gets back up

    than someone said what if cuz what if
  • 00:28:35
    never went to the arena when you guys
  • 00:28:37
    find a fear that fear will either create
  • 00:28:40
    you or destroy you I love fear the
  • 00:28:42
    reason why behind every fear is the
  • 00:28:44
    person you want to be fear is
  • 00:28:46
    self-imposed meaning it doesn't exist
  • 00:28:48
    you create it you can destroy it too
  • 00:28:50
    it's an intangible if you face your
  • 00:28:52
    fears guys you will realize it's not
  • 00:28:54
    that big and once you face it you my God
  • 00:28:57
    man it's been all this time running from
  • 00:28:58
    it it was so small if I just faced it my
  • 00:29:01
    God not only did I face it I beat it
  • 00:29:03
    back energy is never lost transferred
  • 00:29:06
    that negative energy that fear is
  • 00:29:08
    destroyed it comes back in his
  • 00:29:09
    confidence like what else am I what else
  • 00:29:11
    am I capable of what else am I holding
  • 00:29:12
    my back from that I'm capable of more
  • 00:29:14
    where am I running from I don't need to
  • 00:29:15
    what else can I overcome you face your
  • 00:29:18

  • 00:29:26
    the day the day is running you you
  • 00:29:27
    always
  • 00:29:28
    servant not the master guys there's no
  • 00:29:31
    perfect way to live your 20s you either
  • 00:29:34
    live them up and become an unders
  • 00:29:35
    skilled 30-year-old or you work him up
  • 00:29:38
    and become an underlied 30-year-old you
  • 00:29:40
    just have to figure out which you'd
  • 00:29:42
    rather be accept the trade-offs and know
  • 00:29:44
    that there are no
  • 00:29:46
    doovers those times when you get up
  • 00:29:48
    early and you work hard those times when
  • 00:29:50
    you stay up late and you work hard those
  • 00:29:52
    times when you don't feel like working
  • 00:29:54
    you're too tired you don't want to push
  • 00:29:55
    yourself but you do it anyway
  • 00:29:58
    um that is actually the
  • 00:30:00
    dream that's the dream it's not the
  • 00:30:02
    destination it's the journey we all this
  • 00:30:05
    pain right now all work well the thing
  • 00:30:08
    about pain is like you feel it right now
  • 00:30:10
    it's temporary man but later in life you
  • 00:30:13
    don't remember the pain you just
  • 00:30:15
    remember like the glory and the good
  • 00:30:17
    time I was went to West Point in our
  • 00:30:19
    Ranger school man there was some really
  • 00:30:21
    dark hours Dark Days dark years of my
  • 00:30:24
    life man but looking back on it I mean I
  • 00:30:28
    just remember the good people and the
  • 00:30:29
    good times I don't remember all those
  • 00:30:33
    you know times where I was so done and
  • 00:30:36
    worn out I don't remember that I just
  • 00:30:38
    remember that I made it through it you
  • 00:30:40
    know and that exhilaration of Pride and
  • 00:30:43
    achievement man that outweighs all the
  • 00:30:45
    pain and struggle you know and that
  • 00:30:47
    Sweat Equity to get there it really does
  • 00:30:49
    as long as you get there that's why when
  • 00:30:51
    they say pain is temporary Pride forever
  • 00:30:54
    that's what they're talking about cuz if
  • 00:30:56
    you push through the pain to achieve the
  • 00:30:58
    pride you forget about the pain was
  • 00:31:00
    already been there but if you can't push
  • 00:31:02
    through the pain and the pain stops you
  • 00:31:03
    and breaks you down then that pain is
  • 00:31:06
    forever because you never got cried to
  • 00:31:08
    outbalance it up both through this man
  • 00:31:11

  • 00:31:13
    welcome it welcome it man with right
  • 00:31:16
    past pain it's forever cry man
