Here's some tips for becoming successful. 1) Take control of your own health. 2) Learn about the power of the mind. 3) Walk in in the tracks of people who have already done what you plan to do. I found these tips from the Magic Progress Shortcut (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the best info on success i've heard of.
+Jason C. i put in 120% nto my job. worked after hours without pay dedicated myself to the job. bent over backward at the expense of my mental and physical health. and still got screamed at in the face don't talk shit about what you don't know about
+Pink Portrait if you were putting in 120 then you would reach success either that or your preparation is average, do more if you work 9-5 and lets say you work overtime for 3 hours what are uou doing thes rest of those 7 hours
no thats not how that worked when you have an emotionally abusive boss. I was working 10+. You're the one who doesn't understand. I'm actually physically sick now and have been for months because I neglected my body for the job. Get out of here with your naivete. I had time to eat one meal,shower and go to sleep.
You own you an explanation, you need to tell you what you were supposed to find the way you are and and wannabees all overall, I'd get allergic to stupid questions and who to care for when you realise real roots are being or not being aware of the difference between time and effort to please or displease or to insult again nobodies are you free to mind your work and make the time to not be a cocktails but the interest in it.
I was about to commit suicide but I happen to watch this video it kept me alive~~~~~Wow I happen to return and see all the love and support God bless you all ET I love you man it’s 8-14-2020 thank god im still here going stronger then ever
I hope your still doing ok. Keep watching his and other motivators' videos. i would also recommend Les Brown. Keep trying to see the light, thats all life is. And the best we can do is not let the darkness catch us!
I am a former addict, homeless drunk half my life woke up one day decided ive had enough. Now i work a fulltime good union job, have 2 part jobs that bring in steady income, and my own business, and a few properties, no debts and great credit and sober 15+ years now. I am middle class and i feel rich, i feel ive only just begun. Some weeks i work up to 18 hrs a day 7 days a week not because i have to or need to but because i am willing to do anything to reach my goals and nothing is going to stop me. If i can do it anybody can, believe me on that.
Man, I listen to Eric every morning but today I’m crying, just got my LLC, got my first business loan, one day sober again, new vegetarian diet about to ride my bike and put in 1000% . It’s only UP FROM HERE 💯I thank God for this message 🤧🙏🏾
@@AgentChanelAlmighty ok so sorry for the assumption. There's a lot of delivery businesses for new business owners. Good for you with digital literacy. God bless you.
Hello, Ivan hope all is well. I saw your comment on Eric Thomas UA-cam page and I loved it. Listen, I am looking for a few business professionals to join my team who are interested in creating online assets in their spare time and pave a path for Entrepreneurship. If this is something you would be interested, do shoot a message back and we can discuss it further, if not I wish you all the best.
+DavkaMusic I think he means it in terms of privilege. Country clubs, playing golf - they're stereotypically seen as being predominantly rich, well connected people. So he didn't get to where he was on handouts or by knowing the right people, he got here because of his grind.
Im from india. Tamilnadu. We dont see diabetes as a disease. The english medicine and mafia makes people into diseased ones. Reply me. I ll tell you to end this diabetic. As we follow these 10000 years.
Dr. Eric Thomas helped me change my life. It's because of his inspiration that I completed my independent insurance adjuster state license test successfully on my 5TH tries, after 4 consecutive fails. Now, I am a licensed IIA, and nearly a year after first stumbling across the Dr, I have been self-employed in my own right and making more money per month than I ever did in my life. Thank you, Dr. Eric Thomas, for helping me improve my life and the lives of those most important to me.
_"Stop just waking up like an accident"_ _"There's no excuse for not living up to your fullest potential"_ _"Become a victor, not a victim"_ _"You let YOU down"_ _"You owe YOUR SELF"_
this gives me chills everytime i hear it. thanks Eric for cpr my higher power everytime I read or listen to your mindset. Now my job is to finish unfinished bizz..
8 years ago, as a senior high school football player, this video was everything to me. To the person reading this now. No matter the outcome of whatever situation you're in. Rest well knowing you gave it all you had. I'm proud of you.
"It's probably goning to be racism till the day I die, but I'm still gonna be a millionare; I'm still going to be one of the top motivational speakers in the world" PREACH!!!
You can't worry about what other people think...otherwise you'll never be a public speaker. You should read "Book Yourself Solid" by Michael Port. You can also read "Never Eat Alone" by Keith Ferrazzi too.
I'm forcing myself to watch this 10 times a day to force my brain to stop being lazy and get after it. And I'm replacing all TV and unhealthy habits such as watching rubbish on YT with motivational videos. I unfollowed and blocked toxic people and accounts on social media and started following Motivational accounts and football training. I am planning to wake up at 5 AM every day. Yesterday I was weak. But FROM THIS DAY FORWARD all I know is WINNING
JMan007 good luck guys ..... write the questions from each section down and answer them while you're reading the book. it will create a little study guide for ya . worked great for me. 4 years driving I just leased my first truck
This one really hit home 7 years ago at age 27…now its 7 years later and I’m graduating with a M.S. in Computer Science this May from a top university. Success in your life is what you decide it to be. Always remember, don’t let who you were yesterday or even today determine who you can be tomorrow. Love yourself, be grateful for the people in your life, and stay hungry, stay foolish. Thank you E.T. ❤
This man's words and wisdom holds more weight than any wannabe black activist of today. He's lived through the struggle and faced adversity on so many levels.

I'm a rapper in my late 30s, and now I'm a software engineer learning more and also going to school for my Associates in Science in Engineering and Autocad. I was a homeless rapper and single father just a couple years ago. No joke, sleeping in my car with my son. Makes me tear up thinking about it, I still have a long road to go on. Now i own a home with my beautiful girl, soon to be wife and my son is doing the best he's ever done. Never quit or give up on yourself
1st year college i got an E in Chemistry. I was gutted and realised things needed to change. 2nd year came. I watched this video every day when I woke up at 4am. I worked hard. At the end of the year, results day came. Overall I got a B (Year 1 Resits in addition to Year 2)! From an E to a B in 1 year is the biggest achievement I have ever gotten. Winners win, losers lose. Yes 100%. Thank you ET for inspiring me. As for anyone reading this comment, never give up
ET you have helped me so much. I failed my nursing exam 6 times; I’m the last one of my graduating class that hasn’t gotten my RN license. I went through a rough few years, but by watching your videos, you have inspired and motivated me to rise and grind until I reach my goal of having that RN behind my name. So, thank you. You’ve helped me in more ways than you’ll ever know.
ET - I discovered this video years ago and it has been a major tool in my path to becoming a better human. I struggle still but looking back, I have come a long way. Things I have discovered or came to terms with over the last two years.. 1- I was diagnosed bipolar 2- I can't drink alcohol like a normal person and should avoid it 3- I have a gambling addiction 4- I have no excuse for my obesity Things I did 1- got off my ass and went and got a job utilizing my college education. I have now moved to another company which was a pay raise, a better title, a large company, and room for promotion. 2- gotten the proper medication for my add/bipolar disorder. This has changed my life and it took a lot of soul searching to admit I had defects and deficiencies.. I'm glad I overcame pride and fixed this 3- told myself "not right now, no alcohol with the boys... you owe you" and I've stepped away from situations that I couldn't handle like a man... I owe it to myself 4- while at my job I found the woman of my dreams and fell in love.. we have been dating for over 1.5 years now and we now live together. She also is a mother of two beautiful young girls who I now also have fallen in love with and formed a very special bond.. this has motivated me more than anything else in my life. 5- learned to gamble responsibly and in moderation. No more losing my money, I'm in the business of making money. I only periodically go and I set firm budget when I do. This is my hardest thing to tackle and something I still fight off daily and seek your video for additional support. 6- I got off my ass and stopped eating like a pig. I went from 295lbs to 255lbs and it is in the process of going down even more.. This video helps me when I struggle and also helped me reflect at how far I have come. I have done a good job but will never quit and will continue to improve. I genuinely owe you my life. Thank you for this video and helping me get passionate about my life ET. Thank you from the bottom of my heart #YouOweYou #ET
Thanks for sharing! And congrats!! You are a fucking monster for control your emotions like that. I have bipolar too and I've always believed that was something broke in me, my life wasn't going anywhere still I start medicate. You are a inspiration!! Keep doing great! 👊
“No I didn’t grow up on that side of the town. No my mamma don’t have no network. No I don’t know a whole lot of people. No I’m not at a country club. No I don’t play golf and I don’t plan on playing no time soon. But I’m still gonna be successful. I’m still gonna get to where they are... WHY? Because I owe it to myself. And can’t nobody stop me but ME.”
ET doesn’t know it but he was my single biggest motivator getting through High School & College. I’d play “How Bad Do You Want It” every single morning & the podcast after that. I didn’t have many people talking about believing in myself & how to be a better man so ima always have love for ET for that 💯🤞🏾
that philosophy of "you owe yourself an explanation for where your at" has been more influential in my life then anything I learned at school & it's like a 7 min video lol thanks for the content as always! You help me to shine brighter when I'm unable
you move me to pieces. My favorite thing about you is that unlike other successful black men and women. You acknowledge the system of racism as an issue, and how it puts all black people at a disadvantage but you CHOOSE to rise above it. LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU DR. ET!
This, along with his other videos, gave me the motivation to start college. I deal with depression and anxiety and this helped me so much. I'm taking my placement test at my college tomorrow and watching this has eased some nerves. Thanks E. :)
I'm not sure when I came across this, but I've shown this at the beginning of the year for my sixth graders for years. This is a big transition year for them and it speaks to all the things they need to be thinking about right now in their lives!
I am a 23 year old white male from America. I grew up in a two parent household in upper middle class and finished college in December of 2014. I have literally everything on my side and yet I still have no motivation and no drive to accomplish things. I am obese, drink too much, gambrel often, don't have goals and don't push myself at work. I have been watching your video every morning at 6:30am and then working out. I had given up and ET has made it possible for me to realize I OWE MYSELF! I have so much potential and I have to guide it and direct it and I couldn't find my way before this video. Thank you ET, you inspired me to not only keep fighting but to grind and impact the world someday. #YouOweYou
He hit me so hard it drew tears "blood" not really blood, but he drew tears, because i have gone through my life blaming this guy, this woman....instead of looking in to the mirror, and told myself "you chose this life, and all you do is complain about how your life sucks, it's because you chose to not do nothing, dreamer when you gonna realize you are never gonna change unless YOU change your life, it's time we did something about it" time i started living my dreams.
Congrats Kev. I've been putting my MBA off for a minute now. But after athing his vid and reading your comment, I'm going for it next year! Thanks What are you specialising in?
Hello Eric, I am from Kenya . ' stop waking up like an accident ' this is one statement that woke me up. Today I look at myself and I love where I'm headed. Thanks so much
Amazing an my Motivational Speaking been reaching many. An I love his work it's powerful. If anyone have time check out my Motivational Speaking video thanks
You changed my life ET... I’ll be a year free from my addiction the 23 rd of this month... I lost everything , my job , my car , my ex girlfriend , but with the help of you I got my self back, got back in the gym I’m down 55lbs , got 3 jobs in one day , and I’m still pushing to inspire others.
Eric Thomas, sorry if I write something wrong, but I'm learning English. You are the REASON for I'm doing this. you help me when I was down, I feel depressed and loser, I watched on UA-cam a video with subtitles in Spanish "Secretos del éxito" and that moment my life changed. I started to push myself, I got into the university, my past was very sad, a lot of pain in my soul, many times I feel alone, I didn't want to study, I don't have a job, my situation was very critical until I find you, and today I'm working on my dreams, now I know the power inside of me, I'm happy and hungry, you say: everybody wants to be a beats until it's time to do what beats do! that's true!, the pain is temporary, that's true!, everything you say are true, I'm reading your book "the secret to success", I'm learning a lot. thank you for help people like me, you are the reason of my success, I'm grateful to you... sorry for my mistakes (grammar).
Pre COVID-19 I would listen to this basically daily on my way to the gym. Truly got me in the greatest shape of my life and I know that I have so much more in the tank. God bless you man
My higher power lead me to this man. I'm learning how to go get what I want because this man inspired me to reach out grab what it is I want in this life. Today I'm 25 days clean. I graduate the 28 impatient treatment in 3 days. And I am going to continue with my recovery on to a sober living house. "I can,. I will, and I must." After 20 years of suffering from the active disease of addiction, I'm finally doing something about because I got up and did something about it. I wanted to be clean and sober more than I wanted to breathe, more than sleep. E.T. my brother you have inspired me to reach beyond my wildest dreams.... Limitless is new goal. Because I can, I will, and I must get up and change this vicious cycle of the disease of addiction. Because I believe I'll be able to help somebody that's walked in my shoes one day because I've been inspired by Eric Thomas. Thank you my brother.
"What changed: I changed, stopped being a victim!" "Stopped saying I'm gonna wait for good things to happen, doin' everything in MY power." "Can't keep creating a culture of losing." Hits home for me. I have family in New Zealand 😇 I am full of passion. You all can be too. Teach yourself
ET - That was probably the most powerful video yet! and I watched them all - EVERYDAY before I grind I look for a new one! I watched this one a few times so far...
+Patrick Cassidy Agreed Patrick, I've seem them all and this is among one of the realist and most powerful. He took the kid gloves off for this one and it hit home.
Eric Thomas - you were put on this earth for a reason, and you're where you should be! You're helping people. Your compassion, your commitment, your dedication is so obvious. And you help yourself, you can see it. You not only motivate others, you motivate yourself.
This is one of the best short speeches I've ever heard, I went from being in the homeless system to becoming a railway designer. This speech is exactly the way to do it. Cheers Eric 👍

Yinhh
Only you could stop yourself from becoming successful no one else
I got this as my alarm in the morning. I can snooze through some of it, but when he turns up, I can't sleep anymore. I HAVE to get up.
If this don't get you out of bed... You don't just hear the turn up. You feel it.
How did you set it as an alarm? I need to know...his voice makes me get up from wherever and just start moving
Great Idea!
Can you teach me how to make this my alarm 🚨?
On my phone, I'm able to add music from Spotify as an alarm. I have a Google Pixel 3, it uses Android operating system. I hope this helps y'all.

This man's words and wisdom holds more weight than any wannabe black activist of today. He's lived through the struggle and faced adversity on so many levels. He didn't make excuses or chose to remain a victim to the injustices of the world. He is indeed living proof that life can deal you a shifty hand, but how you play that hand is the difference between success and failure.

Who are the 741 losers who disliked this video?😂😂😂😂 Look up cognitive dissonance.
verniks thanks
This has motivated me so much. I'm never going to lose.
I like that attitude!
Thx
Losing is inevitable, so is failing. But taking those loses and turning them into motivation and drive to never have to experience again, is powerful.
You actually are going to lose.
Many times
It's how you stand up to adversity and persevere.

"Stop waking up like an accident" damn
I'm a rapper in my late 30s, and now I'm a software engineer learning more and also going to school for my Associates in Science in Engineering and Autocad. I was a homeless rapper and single father just a couple years ago.
No joke, sleeping in my car with my son. Makes me tear up thinking about it, I still have a long road to go on. Now i own a home with my beautiful girl, soon to be wife and my son is doing the best he's ever done. Never quit or give up on yourself
"There's no excuse to not live up to your fullest potential, no excuse !!"

I'm going to start watching this every morning before my workout.
I listen to it while working out allways makes me push harder
+JEJKT Pranks lol I literally just watched one of his other videos while working out about 30 minutes ago.
Bill Fayne I have a morning push playlist in UA-cam w this try it out for 21days
Bill Fayne brush ur teeth while watching ...
Good advice! I watch first thing in the a.m. on my way to work.
1st year college i got an E in Chemistry. I was gutted and realised things needed to change. 2nd year came. I watched this video every day when I woke up at 4am. I worked hard. At the end of the year, results day came. Overall I got a B (Year 1 Resits in addition to Year 2)! From an E to a B in 1 year is the biggest achievement I have ever gotten. Winners win, losers lose. Yes 100%. Thank you ET for inspiring me. As for anyone reading this comment, never give up
congratulations
“U CAN’T MAKE ME WANT WHAT I DON’T WANT”. ONE OF MY FAVORITES🔥🔥🔥
ET you have helped me so much. I failed my nursing exam 6 times; I’m the last one of my graduating class that hasn’t gotten my RN license. I went through a rough few years, but by watching your videos, you have inspired and motivated me to rise and grind until I reach my goal of having that RN behind my name. So, thank you. You’ve helped me in more ways than you’ll ever know.
Keep us updated
Proud of you! Any update?
How is it going with your nursing exam?
Did you get your nursing license?
I hope you were able to achieve your dreams !❤️
This man radiates soo much energy. He could me saying the most mundane things and i would still get hyped.
ET - I discovered this video years ago and it has been a major tool in my path to becoming a better human. I struggle still but looking back, I have come a long way.
Things I have discovered or came to terms with over the last two years..
1- I was diagnosed bipolar
2- I can't drink alcohol like a normal person and should avoid it
3- I have a gambling addiction
4- I have no excuse for my obesity
Things I did
1- got off my ass and went and got a job utilizing my college education. I have now moved to another company which was a pay raise, a better title, a large company, and room for promotion.
2- gotten the proper medication for my add/bipolar disorder. This has changed my life and it took a lot of soul searching to admit I had defects and deficiencies.. I'm glad I overcame pride and fixed this
3- told myself "not right now, no alcohol with the boys... you owe you" and I've stepped away from situations that I couldn't handle like a man... I owe it to myself
4- while at my job I found the woman of my dreams and fell in love.. we have been dating for over 1.5 years now and we now live together. She also is a mother of two beautiful young girls who I now also have fallen in love with and formed a very special bond.. this has motivated me more than anything else in my life.
5- learned to gamble responsibly and in moderation. No more losing my money, I'm in the business of making money. I only periodically go and I set firm budget when I do. This is my hardest thing to tackle and something I still fight off daily and seek your video for additional support.
6- I got off my ass and stopped eating like a pig. I went from 295lbs to 255lbs and it is in the process of going down even more..
This video helps me when I struggle and also helped me reflect at how far I have come. I have done a good job but will never quit and will continue to improve.
I genuinely owe you my life. Thank you for this video and helping me get passionate about my life ET.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart #YouOweYou #ET
Hats off to you man. Good luck in your coming hardships. Just keep grinding and plowing!!!
This is Inspiring all it takes is a Switch!
I tip my hat to you kind Sir, would mind giving an update?
Hi there! Great reading your comment. I struggle with bipolar disorder and alcohol too.. how are u doing nowadays?
Thanks for sharing! And congrats!! You are a fucking monster for control your emotions like that. I have bipolar too and I've always believed that was something broke in me, my life wasn't going anywhere still I start medicate. You are a inspiration!! Keep doing great! 👊
9 years later. I still feel the same chills from that ending. Thanks for the inspiration ET.
“No I didn’t grow up on that side of the town.
No my mamma don’t have no network.
No I don’t know a whole lot of people.
No I’m not at a country club.
No I don’t play golf and I don’t plan on playing no time soon. But I’m still gonna be successful.
I’m still gonna get to where they are... WHY?
Because I owe it to myself.
And can’t nobody stop me but ME.”
Pure gold
so strong words
Sometimes you just need to be yelled at🖤✊🏾
ET doesn’t know it but he was my single biggest motivator getting through High School & College. I’d play “How Bad Do You Want It” every single morning & the podcast after that.
I didn’t have many people talking about believing in myself & how to be a better man so ima always have love for ET for that 💯🤞🏾
that philosophy of "you owe yourself an explanation for where your at" has been more influential in my life then anything I learned at school & it's like a 7 min video lol thanks for the content as always! You help me to shine brighter when I'm unable
you move me to pieces. My favorite thing about you is that unlike other successful black men and women. You acknowledge the system of racism as an issue, and how it puts all black people at a disadvantage but you CHOOSE to rise above it. LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU DR. ET!
This, along with his other videos, gave me the motivation to start college. I deal with depression and anxiety and this helped me so much. I'm taking my placement test at my college tomorrow and watching this has eased some nerves. Thanks E. :)
I'm proud of you and please keep going. Don't stop progressing
Many of us in the same boat. Dont ever give up, its easier said than done, but not impossible.
just keep pushing and don't give up keep pushing
Check out dave ramsey show too, it so good.
Good luck
I'm not sure when I came across this, but I've shown this at the beginning of the year for my sixth graders for years. This is a big transition year for them and it speaks to all the things they need to be thinking about right now in their lives!
I am a 23 year old white male from America. I grew up in a two parent household in upper middle class and finished college in December of 2014. I have literally everything on my side and yet I still have no motivation and no drive to accomplish things. I am obese, drink too much, gambrel often, don't have goals and don't push myself at work. I have been watching your video every morning at 6:30am and then working out. I had given up and ET has made it possible for me to realize I OWE MYSELF! I have so much potential and I have to guide it and direct it and I couldn't find my way before this video. Thank you ET, you inspired me to not only keep fighting but to grind and impact the world someday. #YouOweYou

The Best Motivation Ever, "Stop Waking Up like an Accident"
Cannot realize how much this hits the heart he brought me back to school now I'm going for my MBA thank God and ET
congratulations man! keep working !
He hit me so hard it drew tears "blood" not really blood, but he drew tears, because i have gone through my life blaming this guy, this woman....instead of looking in to the mirror, and told myself "you chose this life, and all you do is complain about how your life sucks, it's because you chose to not do nothing, dreamer when you gonna realize you are never gonna change unless YOU change your life, it's time we did something about it" time i started living my dreams.
Congratulations
🙌So proud of you!!! Make All Of Your Dreams Come True!!!
Congrats Kev. I've been putting my MBA off for a minute now. But after athing his vid and reading your comment, I'm going for it next year! Thanks

"So what my father wasn't in my life, he ain't enver come into my life, ain't gona wait for him to come, imma be successful" That hit me hard...
You changed my life ET... I’ll be a year free from my addiction the 23 rd of this month... I lost everything , my job , my car , my ex girlfriend , but with the help of you I got my self back, got back in the gym I’m down 55lbs , got 3 jobs in one day , and I’m still pushing to inspire others.
Wow bro
Eric Thomas, sorry if I write something wrong, but I'm learning English. You are the REASON for I'm doing this. you help me when I was down, I feel depressed and loser, I watched on UA-cam a video with subtitles in Spanish "Secretos del éxito" and that moment my life changed. I started to push myself, I got into the university, my past was very sad, a lot of pain in my soul, many times I feel alone, I didn't want to study, I don't have a job, my situation was very critical until I find you, and today I'm working on my dreams, now I know the power inside of me, I'm happy and hungry, you say: everybody wants to be a beats until it's time to do what beats do! that's true!, the pain is temporary, that's true!, everything you say are true, I'm reading your book "the secret to success", I'm learning a lot. thank you for help people like me, you are the reason of my success, I'm grateful to you... sorry for my mistakes (grammar).
+jefferson gualotuña very powerful my friend. may god be on your side
I have found why UA-cam was created!!!
Yes, agreed!!!!!
Pre COVID-19 I would listen to this basically daily on my way to the gym. Truly got me in the greatest shape of my life and I know that I have so much more in the tank. God bless you man

Who’s watching in November 2019? Love love love ET❤️
My higher power lead me to this man. I'm learning how to go get what I want because this man inspired me to reach out grab what it is I want in this life. Today I'm 25 days clean. I graduate the 28 impatient treatment in 3 days. And I am going to continue with my recovery on to a sober living house. "I can,. I will, and I must." After 20 years of suffering from the active disease of addiction, I'm finally doing something about because I got up and did something about it. I wanted to be clean and sober more than I wanted to breathe, more than sleep. E.T. my brother you have inspired me to reach beyond my wildest dreams.... Limitless is new goal. Because I can, I will, and I must get up and change this vicious cycle of the disease of addiction. Because I believe I'll be able to help somebody that's walked in my shoes one day because I've been inspired by Eric Thomas. Thank you my brother.
Beautiful testimony!
With tears in my eyes, I'm ready to run through a brick wall!
this video right here is the reason i am going back to school to get my bachelors degree. Thank you Mr. Thomas.
This video keeps pushing me, I got 1 year left

God Bless ET! Gonna get on my grind!!

Impossible to not fail
Sir you are one of the greatest motivational speaker I have ever seen!!!!

Damn, ET. You came lit this week. I heard you loud and clear, chief. My problem is me and nobody else can fix that but me.

+Park Jimin If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
I watch this everyday to keep me on track
That "you owe you an explanation" really hit me. First, it forces you to place value on your life, and then it holds you accountable for waisting it.
That’s the most powerful speech I’ve ever heard .. I’m a successful man .. but this makes me that much more hungry
Who needs coffee when you got this
cody dunivent lol
ET - That was probably the most powerful video yet! and I watched them all - EVERYDAY before I grind I look for a new one! I watched this one a few times so far...
+Patrick Cassidy Agreed Patrick, I've seem them all and this is among one of the realist and most powerful. He took the kid gloves off for this one and it hit home.
BlkDiesel I "put myself on punishment" a few years ago and I'm still grinding at 5am everyday. etthehiphoppreacher
ET was on fire
Eric Thomas - you were put on this earth for a reason, and you're where you should be! You're helping people. Your compassion, your commitment, your dedication is so obvious. And you help yourself, you can see it. You not only motivate others, you motivate yourself.
" Cuz I OWE IT TO MYSELF! And can nobody stop me BUT ME!"
This guy's on a different level to all other motivational speakers.... I'm sure I've seen this 100000 times😎... keep doing your thing mate
