Dreams

I don't know what that dream is that you have. I don't care how disappointing it might've been as you've been working toward that dream, that dream that you are holding in your mind.
That it's possible! That some of you already know. That it's hard, it's not easy. It's hard changing your life. That in the process, of working on your dreams, you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. There are moments where you are going to doubt yourself. You said “god, why, why is this happening to me? I'm just trying to take care of myself and my family, i'm not trying to steal or rob from anybody. How does this have to happen to me?”. For those of you that have experienced some hardships, don't give up on your dream. The rough times are going to come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass. Greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive, god-like feature that only the special among us will ever taste. It is something that truly exists, in all of us. It's very important for you to believe, that you are the one. Most people, they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die. They stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, they stop pushing themselves. Then a lot of people like to complain that they don't want to do anything about their situation. And most people don’t work on their dreams, why? One is because of fear, the fear of failure, “what if things don't work out?” and the fear of success “What if they do and I just can't handle it?”. These are not risk takers. You spend so much time with other people, you spend so much time trying to get other people to like you, you know other people more than you know yourself. You studied them, you know about them, you want to hang out like them, you want to be just like them. And you know what? You've invested so much time on them, you don't even know who you are. I challenge you to spend time by yourself. It's necessary, that you get the losers out of your life, if you want to live your dream. But people who are running towards their dreams, life has a special kind of meaning. When you become the 'right-person', what you do is you start separating yourself from other people you begin to have a certain uniqueness. As long as you follow other people, as long as you act as the 'copy-cat', you will never ever be the best copy cat in the world, but you will be the best you could be, I challenge you to define your value. That everybody won't see it, that everybody won't join you, that everybody won't have the vision, it is necessary to know that. That you are an uncommon breed. It's necessary that you align yourself with people and attract people into your business, who are hungry! People who are unstoppable and unreasonable! People who are refusing to live life just as it is and who want more! The people that are living their dreams, as winners, to attach themselves to the people that are living their dreams, are the people that know that if it's going to happen its up to them. If you want to be more successful, if you want to have and do stuff you've never done before, I am asking you to invest in you. To invest in you! Someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality. That you don't have to go through life, being a victim. And even though you face disappointments, you have to within yourself that I can do this, even if nobody else sees it for me, I must see it for myself. This is what I believe and i'm willing to die for it. Period. No matter how bad it is or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it! I want to represent an idea. I want to represent possibilities. Some of you right now, you want to go to the next level. “I want a council, I want to be an engineer, I want to be a doctor” listen to me: you can't get to that level. You can't get to that level economically where you want to be, until you start to invest your mind. You're not reading books, I dare you to go to conferences, speeches, networking conventions to find the next step. I dare you to invest time! I dare you to be alone! I dare you to spend an hour to get to know yourself. When you become who you are. When you become the person that you are created to be, designed to be. When you become an individual what you do is: take yourself and you start separating yourself from other people. I'm challenging you, to get to the place where people do not like you or do not even bother you anymore. Why? Because you are not concerned to make them happy. Because you're trying to blow up, you're trying to reach the next level. I need you to invest in your mind. If you're still talking about your dream. If you're still talking about your goals. But you have not done anything yet JUST TAKE THE FIRST STEP! You can make your parents proud, you can make your school proud, you can touch millions of peoples lives and the world will never be the same again! Because you came this way. Don't let anybody steal your dream! After we face a rejection and a “NO” or we have a meeting and no one shows up, or somebody said, you can count on me, and they don't come through. What if we had the kind of attitude that causes repossess, nobody believes in you, you've lost again, and again, and again! The lights are cut off but you're still looking at your dream, reviewing it everyday and saying to yourself: IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN! You can live your dream!
