There are so many phenomenal phrases in this video that I couldn't help but to share them with the world. (I mean it, I love all the phrases and sayings in this video. Prolly one of the best motivational video that I've watched to date)

Here's the excerpts of my favorite:

"There will never be a point in your life, where is the right time to do a great thing? If you're waiting for that perfect moment, that perfect timing, it's not going to happen. You have to create the perfect time, the perfect opportunity, and the perfect situation."

"So a lot of people become comfortable. They stop growing, they stop wanting anything, they become satisfied." (I have nothing against people who are contented with what they already have in life. But I just hate it when these contented bunch of people trying to influence/oppose those individuals, who in my opinion is constantly trying to improve their standards of living.)

"People getting ready to go to jobs that they don't like, jobs that are making them sick. You see, when you are not pursuing your goal, you are literally committing spiritual suicide." (Oh man, I love this phrase!) 

"When you have some goal out here that you are stretching for and reaching for that takes you out of your comfort zones, you'll find out some talents and abilities that you have that you didn't know you have. When the messenger of misery visits you, what are you going to do? What will keep you in the game?"

"There are things that you think you'll never need to know. That you may only need to know one time in your life, but that could save your life because you had that knowledge." (Yup, and knowledge is power!)

"Unless you attempt to do something beyond that, which you've already mastered, you'll never grow. What is it that you looked at, at some point in time and you decided you couldn't do it, that you talk yourself out of it?"

"If you're waiting on your mother, or your father, they may be so ancient in their thinking, that they don't understand this opportunity that you have. & if you're waiting on them, it may never get done." (No one knows how to live your life better than you do. So, be yourself. Not your idea of what you think somebody else's idea of yourself should be.)

"You don't beg average people to be phenomenal. You don't beg good people to be phenomenal. You just are PHENOMENAL. & you will attract phenomenal."

"What reason can you remember, that you can call on, that you can reach on, that can make you get back up. Find that reason."

"If you're not where you are. If you're not where you want to be. If you don't have what you want that you want to have. If you not where you think you should be at this particular place. It has nothing to do with the system, but it has everything to do with the fact that you're not making the sacrifice." (I couldn't agree more. Too often, people are too quick to point their fingers on others, but never to themselves.)

"I want you to make that dream become a reality, because if you don't, you'll be working for somebody else to make their dreams become a reality."

"Most people take their greatness, take their ideas to the graveyard with them."

"Listen to me, if it was easy, everybody would do it. There are people right now who are working who don't want to work. There are people who hate their jobs, but they keep getting up to do it."

"The wealthiest place on the planet, is the graveyard. Because in the graveyard we will find inventions that we never ever were exposed to. Ideas, dreams, that never became reality. Hopes and aspirations that were never acted upon." (This is my favorite. Absolutely love it!)

"You will never ever be successful until you turn your pain into greatness, until you allow your pain to push you from where you are to where you need to be. Stop running from your pain and embrace your pain. Your pain is going to be a part of your prize, a part of your product. I challenge you to push yourself."

"See it's easy to be on the bottom, it doesn't take any effort to be a loser. It doesn't take any motivation and any drive in order to stay down there on a low level. But it calls on everything in you. You have to harness your WILL to say: I'm going to challenge myself!"

"The biggest enemy you have to deal with is yourself. There's an old African proverb that says "If there's no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm"." (This is genius! It reminds me of the Buddha's story I read sometime ago: Buddha's Story )

"When life knocks you down, try to land on your back because if you can look up, you can get up."

"If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time and peace and your sleep for it. If all that you dream and scheme is about it. And life seems useless and worthless without it."

"See it's time now. If you want to make this your decade, you've gotta start saying Yes to your life. YES to your dreams. YES to your unfolding future. YES to your potential. As opposed to saying NO."

"When you die, you die on E. Leave no dreams left behind guys. Leave no opportunity left behind. When you leave this earth, accomplish every single thing you can accomplish." (This makes a good verse yo. LOL)

"You gotta wana succeed, as bad as you wanna breathe."
