Day (422) – Going to Be
Every time I fail – I get stronger
Every time I lose – My desire grows
Every time I feel pain – I work harder
Every time I slack – I pull the rope tighter
Every time something bad happens – I look for a lesson
Im going to be so good they can’t ignore me
For every unreturned call
Every ignored text
For every time you forget about me
For all those times you don’t see how bad it hurts
Those pieces of my heart I put out there – only to see them unappreciated and thrashed
For all those times…I use the pain…as my motivation
To be so good
You wont be able to
Ignore
Me.

Day (421) – The Voice
I went to bed sick.
And I had this dream.
Where I was standing on the road.
The sun was rising, but the fog was still out.
There was this eerie light everywhere.
I looked down at the concrete.
My bare feet touched the ground.
On the black…”Starting Line” was inscribed.
My bare body stood there at the threshold.
Not the body I have now, but the body I have envisioned.
And I heard this voice.
“Ask for it.”
It said it over and over again.
It was gentle but encouraging.
“Ask for it.”
And I stood there…looking down at my feet.
And I took the first step.
It has made all the difference.

Day (419) – Ray Lewis Taught Me How To Tackle…Life
It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; Who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
~ Theodore Roosevelt
In this life, you really only have two options. To be on the field or in the stands. To be hungry to play the game or to be the person watching the other people failing and succeeding. That is really it. When you are on the field , you cannot constantly be looking at the stands…you have to be looking at the goal…and go out and get it. If you focus on things besides the goal, you will end up getting steam rolled by the biggest running back you’ve ever tried to tackle, your negative emotions. But if you meet that RB with your best, you will run him right over and continue striving for your self-made greatness.
When I am sitting at my desk…I mentally think of myself as Ray Lewis, one of the best linebackers the NFL has ever seen. Of course he is talented, but he makes it first to the ball over and over again because of one thing: effort. He will steam roll offensive linemen, tear down QB’s, and truck running backs because of his steam engine drive. So when I am on the field mentally, I am unstoppable. I cannot be conquered. Negative emotions and feelings are simply something to brush off. “Oh that’s interesting…now move on.” Focus. Focus. Focus. Plan accordingly. Implement. Action.
So who are you? Are you going to be controlled…or are you going to make life react to you? Your choice. Make it.

Day (418) – I Am A Living Preposition
Let me tell you something. You have everything in you that you will ever need to achieve something great. Very very few will believe in it. Many will tell you no. You will have every doubt in the book. You will cry, struggle, weep, scream…but you will also laugh hysterically, feel true fiery passion, and your heart will beat for your dream. You will achieve your milestone, and hundreds of more doors will open for you. The emails will start streaming in. The offers to be interviewed and be on the radio will start to show up. All of the struggle that you went through during the journey becomes worth it. You start to feel that pain subside…and you only sit there, in the present, happy as can be. You will then look at your other dreams and have the courage to attack with a vigor you never had the strength for before. Why? Because you have done it already.
You have to be hungry. You have to want it. You have to put the work in. Happy thoughts won’t get you there. They will help you, but only the sweat will get you to the place you want to be. Fight, claw, attack your dreams and your goals with noticeable passion. If an obstacle shows up, be a living preposition. Through it, over it, under it, around it, beside it…just keep going. Because the obstacles are there to show you how bad you want something. A setback is a setup for a comeback. Who will you be? What will you be? Go. Attack. Fire the cannons! Give them the whole 9 yards. No mercy until it is done.
You have greatness within you. Now go.

Day (417) – The Stones
Do you have the stones for it? The stones for what? For it.
Sitting in the car with my dad the other day, I asked him about the speeches he has given throughout the years and which one was his favorite. “I think the risk speech I gave was my favorite,” he said. “What was that about?” He then dropped on me an equation I will never forget.
Your commitment and excitement of it succeeding has to be > your fear of it failing.
This is a sliding scale too. Often of times there are moments where the failures stack up, and you question the other side. But the scale must never live in the favor of the side of failure. It must be tipped towards belief. Because there are so many reasons that it wont work…I promise you. The past…a huge one. In fact, most venture capital firms prefer to back first time entrepreneurs because they are hungry, over the seasoned ones because they are less likely to take risk because they know the game.
But it does come down to the question of whether or not you have the stones…the guts…the fortitude to make it happen?
Which side of the equation are you?
