What's stopping you? Are you too tired? Didn't get enough sleep? Don't have enough energy? Don't have enough time? Is that what's stopping you right now? Don't have enough money? Is  that the thing? Or is the thing that's stopping you? You. Excuses sound best to the person that's making them up. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get off the pity party. Telling  everybody your sad and sob stories, trying to get people to show up to your pity parties and your pity parades. If you ever see me in a Rolls Royce, a six or seven star hotel,  living my life to the fullest, don't get jealous of me. Cause I worked my ass off to get it. Nobody handed me nothing. Wake your ass up. Awaken the beast inside. It's game on. It's  go season. It's time for you to take advantage of the access and the resources that you have in your country, in your community. You got a problem with your life? You got a problem  with your environment? Do something about it. If you want it, go get it. Recognize the excuses  are not valid. They're conjured up. They're fabricated. They're lies. And how do you stop the lies? You stop the lies with the truth. The truth is you have time. You have the skill.  You have the knowledge and the support and the willpower and the discipline to get it done. The fruit of everything good in life begins with a challenge. Everything is a pill  that's worthwhile. And it's not going to come to you and it's not going to fall in your lap  and it's not going to be something that, oh my God, it just was so simple. It's always going  to be difficult. If you want it, you got to go get it. This is your chance. This is your shot.  This is your moment. This is your time. This is your place. This is your opportunity. This is my  time. This is my moment. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. Ain't no such thing as tomorrow. We  only got today. It's your dream. If you wanted to have it, get your butt up and make it happen.  If you wanted to have it, rise and grind. You still got work to do. Stay on that basketball court. Stay on that football field. It's grind season, homie.
