Motivation Edge

what is more important in being successful at achieving your goals nature or nurture   nature versus nurture    in my opinion it's neither and my whole life, I've seen people from every different strata, and in all of those different groups there were some people that were successful,  and got the job done and some people that were unsuccessful and couldn't get it done, so to me it's not about nature or nurture.  It's about choice the people that are successful decide they are going to be successful they make that choice, and they make other choices they decide to study hard , they choose to work hard they choose to be the first person to get to work and the last person to go home, they choose to take on the hard jobs, take on the challenges,  they decide they're gonna lead when no one else will.  They choose who they're gonna hang around with and be associated with, they choose they're going to emulate these people, choose to become wh...

Often, I have people tell me that they just want to be happy and think that I can give them a formula! My first response is that first you have to decide to be happy! Sitting and worrying about what you don't have or the problems in your life will not resolve anything. In fact, they will just work you up until you might think that you have a brain tornado going on. There are several things that you can do if you want to improve your lot in life as follows: Consider your motivation   - Are you a person who thinks that you have to please others? If that is the case, then you will likely find that you are constantly failing and maybe even feeling resentful. You cannot change another person and the older you get the more you will realize that you certainly can't please everyone. If you are constantly on the giving end of a relationship the time will likely come when you will begin feeling resentful as your own needs are not met . Examine what you can contro...

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, but that dream that you're 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 in a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. There are moments when you're gonna doubt yourself.  You said God, why, why is this happening to me? I'm just trying to take care of my children and my mother, I'm not trying to steal or rob from anybody How does this have to happen to me? For those of you that have experience some hardships, don't give up on your dream.  The rough times are gonna 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 spec...

          I was miserable in my life. I didn't like wakin' up , I ain't have no purpose , I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing.  On October 8, 1985, I walked in a comedy club for the first time, signed up for the following week.  The following week, a girl took me down there, she said, " You got to go to comedy club, you the funniest person I've ever met" . I'd never even heard of comedy clubs. I'm 27. I walked into the comedy club, I sign up for the following week. I'm gonna sit here and learn. I knew I was funny, I just didn't know what to do with it. They had 10 acts go up. Nine of 'em went up, I didn't laugh at one joke. I was just sittin' there just, " Man, I wished that was me. Man, they shoulda said this. "  Every joke they told, I knew the punch line before they said it, and I wrote a better punch line in my mind, what they shoulda said. It got to guy number 10, they called his name, ...

      who speaks to the broken ? Who speaks to the individuals that are still in the process? Who speaks to the individual that doesn't want to live anymore?  I was talk into myself and I was telling my story, I couldn't read until I was 16 I buried my mother to a heroin overdose, My father was a hitman I used to sneak into crack houses to sleep next to my mom to make sure she was safe at night.  But through all the chaos and all the pain God built a warrior , So when all see King Hollis and everytime I drop a speech I'm dropping it for you That person that wants to give up on this life, I'm dropping it for you That person that don't know that they have gratness inside of them, I'm dropping this for you.   SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD PLAYER AND A GREAT PLAYER, SEE THAT GOOD PLAYER DOES JUST THE MINIMUM TO GET BY, THE GREAT PLAYER PUSHES HIS BODY PASSED THE LIMIT RELEASE EVERY SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD ON THE FIELD, AND WHATEVER ...

You can NOT be truly successful in life if you are NOT truly yourself. Don’t try and fit in to the world around you – be yourself and allow the right people to fit in to your world. The truth is, you will never win in life by being someone you are not.             You can not… EVER… live the life of your dreams by settling for someone else’s idea of what you should be doing with your life. 
 You will never… EVER… be happy if you change who you are to fit in with others. Until you accept, and embrace who you are – you are destined to live a life at only a mere fraction of your potential.           It is simply impossible to be genuinely happy, when you are not genuinely yourself.
 You must be yourself if you want to experience your true purpose in life.
 Repeat to yourself every day: I am different… THAT IS WHY I WIN! I am UNIQUE… and that is why I AM GREAT.
 I’m not like anyone els...
