Focus On Yourself
(The following is reprinted from web video,I hope it can really inspire myself.)
I dare you to work on yourself for 6 months
I dare you to shut out the world
I dare you to shut out all of the distractions
I dare you give up everything that is keeping you from your dream
every day when I wake up I got all kind of demands
you got all kind of demands
and the reason why you are not where you wanna be
you take all other people's stuff before you spend enough time with yourself
to get know you and get to know what you want and what you should do
come on y'all y'all
hear 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
because you gave it to everybody else first
take care of you
in order to have unbelievable choices and options 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 staring 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
in 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 opportunity
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 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 if
is that you on 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
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're
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 giving the task
to make it happen
and you can't let anything stop you
from doing what you were called to do
