    Really blessed me. 3 years ago I was in my car after a hard day. No money, creditors calling, and failure all in my mind. Then I randomly clicked your video Secrets to success. I watched it at least 13 times... It moved me every time. Since then I have to hear your voice every morning after prayer... Now I'm motivated a small business owner and I'm able to share my story because you shared yours. -Thanks Sir. In my eyes your that King or that X. Keep going!

    I am currently fighting the battle to graduate from college. I have this chemistry class that I just can't wrap my mind around. Watching this makes me KNOW that I have to grind and get it done. I am 5 classes away from graduating. This chemistry class is kicking my ass. I have done tutoring, online lectures, I got to class every day and I just can't seem to get it. I do everything in my power to succeed but I just can't get it :( I will keep grinding! I study 4 hours a day. I WILL get this if it kills me. Thanks ET for the motivation to keep moving. My dream and goal is to graduate college. I will do this.

    Mr. Thomas, I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! I'm going back to school to finish my degree for the THIRD time! One of my classes is public speaking this semester and I have to give my first speech as an introduction for a speaker at my graduation. My boyfriend quoted you and said to find out who said that. I have decided to pretend as if you are our speaker for the night! You are such an inspiration and I can't begin to say that everything you say is so true. You are blessed with a beautiful gift from the Lord and you use it to the max!!!! Again, thank you so much. My life has been very trying but with your wonderful words of LOVE and WISDOM and TRUTH, I will do my hardest to climb to the top! God Bless you!!!!

    I ran away from home at 16, dropped out, joined gang. I've hit the bottom but I'm on my way up. Gonna continue to make this UA-cam channel work hard, get back into class and be the man I know I should be. ET, u have no idea how much these have helped me, I have attempted suicide sooooo many times and you won't believe but I actually watched my first video of u on my way to a bridge to jump off. By the end I knew I had to give 120% before I gave up. Now it's really do or die for me cuz I won't spend the rest of my life as a statistic, it's either success or me and that bridge have a date. But don't worry I'm clear headed now and it'll take a long time b4 I reach my limit. Not gonna let my emotions get the better of me ever again;)

      To you and all of you who are lucky enough to come across this post......God gives you everyday so that you can improve your life. More and more I hear about people not have that self worth feeling. You have a reason to be here because God put you here and one day that will be clear to you. I am surrounded by people who commit suicide. That is not the answer. No one said life was easy and for most it is not. Life itself is a struggle. But don't give up you will be greeted by a brighter future as long as you try everyday to improve yourself, your impact on others and truly do your best at everything you do. People will start to notice how you stand out. Trust me. This is what I have done in my life. It's not about me all the time in fact it's about everybody else. I have learned to not be selfish I put others before me because it's what God wants. I want to share a couple of videos with you. I listen to them every now and then..... They bring me up all the time. ua-cam.com/video/GLcJHC9J7l4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/7Oxz060iedY/v-deo.html Thanks

    A shame more young kids don't come to the same conclusion - that their situation, whether they're to blame or not, can only be improved by taking personal responsibility. Life sucks, for some more than others, but nobody except the individual can make the hard, necessary choices that will ultimately lead to success and a happy life. Failure is a constantly reoccurring element of that journey, but failure teaches us how to succeed, and perseverance is the method. You don't simply get up everyday, show up to work, and hope that opportunity will find you. You force yourself each and every day to think of new ways to improve your skills and go out of your way to seek out opportunity.

    In need of EVERYONE'S HELP!!. If ET has inspired you In any way I need your help in pouring back into him and his wife. I was listening to a, clip of his and he mentioned his wife had some health issues. Long story short, I am calling for a WORLDWIDE PRAYER for the healing of Mrs. Thomas. Asking all to join me on February 21st, 2014 at 2:21am est, to pray until 3:00am. I don't know ET, nor do I know if his wife is still having issues, but I do know that we are supposed to pray for our leaders, and he is truly a leader. Please, please help me in spreading the word. Let me know if you are on board by responding, "He's able". Thank you and God Bless!

    These guys are right. If you can fight your way out of the darkness, you will come out an exceptionally strong person and have the upper hand on those who didn't have to fight through such pain. Make sure you envision the success story you'd like to live every night before you go to bed and don't sleep until you can formulate such a vision. When you wake up, do the same thing. When you become doubtful or succumbed in negative thoughts, block them out and remember that vision. You'll triumph

    Every young person should here Eric's story! I just finished my freshman year of college, and I'm not gonna lie, your first year of college can be tough; the new environment, and new adult responsibilities are challenging. Sometimes its hard to stay motivated and do the right things on your own. Eric Thomas does an excellent job of keeping people motivated--whether it be academically, athletically, or spiritually. This man does it well, real well.

    I find it funny that people hit the dislike button. It takes more time to do that, then going on to something else. If you actually listened to this young man, you'd see find some oart if what he says resonates with us all. Keep hitting the dislike button, that atttitude and glass half empty mentality will follow you in everything you touch.

    I know you probably won't read this but Thank You. I hit a major low point of my life and I was looking in the wrong places. I projected my depression and anger onto different thing to only build up in internal hate for myself. This video made me reflect on things and cry and I haven't cried in almost two years now. I always thought tears are for the weak and I can see that the physical tears we have are our soul cleansing itself of the negativity we have. Once again Thank You.

    This was really nice to see ET in a different (calm) setting sharing some things I haven't heard from him before. I didn't know he got involved with a black male speaking organization in college! That is so cool. I really enjoyed hearing him talk about his first speech, too. I also love how they included his mom and talked about the relationship before the big revelation. I didn't know they had been close when he was younger.

    connor you have greatness within you man the hardest times are only an indication of good things to come in your life, your reality you live in is a reflection of how you feel on the inside, make it a point to open up your heart and keep reading and viewing positive things daily and I promise you'll start attracting happiness you just need to constantly remind yourself you can do anything and that you fearlessly believe in yourself.
