Welcome to Real Talk with Reginald D. I'm your host, Reginald D. In today's episode, I'm going to talk about life is not over until you win. Let's jump right in. I need you to understand in life that you're going to hit a brick wall. Your life will get knocked down on the way to pursuing your dreams. Your life can hit a wall so hard that it will shock you. And a lot of people don't recover when life hits that hard. That's when they give up because they can't find anything positive to pull from. But in all reality, they have everything they need to get back up again. See, you have hit multiple walls in your life, and your getting back up has a 100% success rate. The reason it's a 100% success rate is because you are still here. You are still going, even though you were passed up for the promotion, even though you didn't get the job. You are still here. You battled with sickness, you battled with depression, but guess what? You are still here. Your situation could not take you out because of the way you are built. You just got to rise up and keep going. You got to realize that a letdown is not a breakdown. Just because you've been let down, don't you break down. It's not over. Your life is not over until you win. You got to have a heart of a lion. The lion is a king of the jungle, not because of his size. There are plenty of animals in the jungle that's bigger than a lion. But what makes him the king of the jungle is his mindset. The lion's mindset says, I'm going to rule. I'm going to take over and nothing can stop me. You got to understand that every day you get up, you have to have the mentality of a lion. You wake up every day and say, nothing can stop me. I'm going to take over this day. I'm going to take over my life. You got to stay focused on what you're pursuing. You can't chase two rabbits and think you're going to catch both of them. It's like chopping down a tree. If you keep chopping a tree in multiple spots, guess what? Nothing will happen. But if you keep chopping in the same spot over and over again, guess what? The tree is going to fall. People that are more successful than you are no better than you. They just wake up every day with clarity, then pursue their purpose with everything they got. They are no excuse type of people. So you're not where you want to be because you keep giving yourself excuses. You keep giving yourself an out. The worst thing that happened to the human race is excuses. People will give you an excuse why they can't get something done and feel good about it because excuses make them feel comfortable. But in all reality, excuses will make you weak. Your excuses will derail your life. Excuses will stop you from performing. You ever seen someone that retired and didn't do anything with their life afterwards and their life ended up just withering away? It's because they just quit on life. They would give every excuse why they won't go hang out anywhere, why they won't go on a trip, or do anything that would keep them moving and alive. You are the captain of your life. Don't change for anybody. Quit being what people want you to be and start being what they need. That could include tough love. Listen, you have to get it in your mind that your journey to your purpose is going to have twists and turns. I need you to understand that things don't change. They become different. That's all. Let me ask you a question. What are you seeing? What are you seeing for your life? The more you see, the more you will get. The less you see, the less you're going to get. You will change when you see something that makes your life seem valuable. That's what's going to make you start moving in life. You got to understand, you got to make things happen in your life. Be your own hero. You can't be broken. You are not average. You are better than what you're doing right now. Your life is not over until you win. It's going to take effort. It's going to take hard work, but that's the only way you're going to find success. You got to learn how to dominate your life. Mental toughness overcomes doubt, overcomes fear, overcomes mediocrity. Mental toughness helps you conquer any situation that you will come up against. Weak-minded people quit and give up when things get tough. They tap out. If you tap out, you will never live a fulfilled life. I know you're saying it's too hard, it's too tough, it's overwhelming, but guess what? It's part of the process. Every challenge you face is molding you into the person you are created to be. It's part of the process. You cannot quit. What you do is going to determine if you win or lose. That's it, man. You got to find a way to win. Your life is not over. Go for what you deserve. That's how you give your life closure. I need you to quit tripping every time something happens to you and stop saying that your life is over. Your life is not over. You just got to rise above your situation. You have to take what you expect. You don't need another opportunity that would just overwhelm you. You just got to figure out how to execute on the opportunity you got now. I need you to understand that the most powerful thing you can do with your life is to believe. You may be down right now, but keep believing in you. You may be broke right now, but keep believing in you. Your business may have failed, but keep believing in you. Keep your head up and keep working. Keep your head up and keep working. Hard work will get you exactly where you want to be. If it's important to you, you won't quit on it. Your destiny is on the line. Your destiny is in the fire. You've got to get up and say to yourself that you can do this. It's time to make a decision. Decide what you want for your life. Then decide what you're willing to give up for. Then make it your priority and then put in the work. You have a reason to be successful. You've got a reason inside of you. You're better than this. You're more valuable than this. You are smarter than this. That's the reason to keep going. That's the reason to keep pushing. What you do occasionally will not make you successful. What you do consistently will. Success comes from nothing but actions. Your success starts with you. Whatever you say about you is what you're going to believe. If you complain about how messed up your life is, if you keep saying to yourself that nothing is going right for your life, you will end up defeated. You will lose. Your life is not messed up. You just got to figure out how to maneuver your life for the best. Give your life a chance, man. Give your life a chance to win. Quit being average and quit treating yourself that way. If it takes you four weeks to do something and it takes another person two days to do it, it doesn't mean the person is smarter than you. It just means that you are being average because you can't keep up. And the reason you can't keep up is because the other person put in more work to get it done before you did. I need you to rise up and show people your results and quit talking about your plan. You can get it done. You got to stay positive and know your worth. Then you will succeed. Ask yourself this question, why am I here? Once you understand your why, then nothing can stop you. When you understand your why, you will chase your reward with everything you got. No roadblocks can stop you when you know your why. It will make you take the door off the hinges to get what you desire for your life. The only way you're going to gain in life, you've got to sacrifice. You have to sacrifice your leisure time. You have to sacrifice the things that grabs your attention the most, such as a TV or your cell phone. You've got to sacrifice you if you want to be great. You've got to lay you down if you want your greatness to rise. The real opportunity of success lies within you, not nobody or nothing else. Friends, not your parents, not your spouse, or your job. Success lies within you. In order to be successful and win, you just have to change what you do daily because your routine has the power to change your life. Your life is not over until you win. The only person you can rely on is yourself. Don't ever lose trust in yourself because if you do, you will never get it back. Don't let yourself down. You can do whatever you want to do. Can't nobody make you do anything. You don't have to do nothing. The choice is yours. You can choose not to be successful, you can choose not to be great, and you can choose not to take your life to the next level. Now just imagine what your life would look like if you choose not to be. Do you really want that for yourself? Do you want that for your life? That's just misery. You don't deserve that. Change the way you think. That's how wisdom is birthed. You don't become powerful until you put everything you got that's inside of you to use. Allow your life to be challenged. That's the only way it's going to change you. You got to understand that you belong here. You belong with the best. You belong with the successful ones. You just got to first think you deserve it and then go after what you feel you deserve. You are the difference maker in your life. You have to trust and believe in you and then learn a new way about yourself. Then you can master a new life within yourself. You just got to make sure you stay in an environment that will demand excellence from your life. Let me leave you with this. 2023 taught you lessons and 2024 is going to bring you opportunities. In spite of all the stuff you have been through in 2023, you are still here in 2024. You are here for a reason. Playtime is over. It's time for you to go after the things your heart desires. And don't count the cost of what you want in your life, because if you start counting the cost and how much it's going to cost you, then you will give up. Be willing to pay whatever it takes to get what you desire for your life. Be willing to pay whatever it takes to get you to your destiny. Trust me, you're worth it.
