Every week I'll discuss working toward your big dreams. Tune in and engage with me!
Alec: Don't ever give up on yourself. Go all in on your big dreams. Life will throw you some seriously fast curveballs. Work on your confidence. Even if it's just get your butt to the gym today.
Good morning. I'm a few minutes late. It's like that Alice in Wonderland. I'm late for a very important date. You are all very important to me. So I'm so sorry. I'm a few minutes late. I got stuck on a meeting, a very important one. So that's just life, right? Part of making your dreams come true is just being able to roll with it, because you just never know what's gonna happen in life, and you just never know what's going to come your way. And you got to be agile. You got to be able to, like, move like a football player, move like a basketball player.
Right. Because this is truly the game of life, and it's not easy to work towards something really big. And that is my message today, is to really go all in on yourself and all in on your big dreams. And life will throw you some seriously fast curveballs. Good morning, Jill and mary. Life will hit you so hard that you want to crawl in a hole, and you want to cry, and you want to curl up, and you want to give up. What's up? Alec? I am here to tell you not to give up on anything. First and foremost, don't ever give up on yourself.
You and your special sauce will always be there to bounce back, to come up with new ideas. People want what you have, so don't give up on yourself. And when it comes to working toward your big dreams, you are going to get hit in the face, punched in the face, pushed down, dirty, muddy, left behind. People are gonna talk some smack. You are gonna get bruised and battered. Why? Because it's preparing you for the top. People do not get to the top easily. It doesn't just happen. You can't bibbidi bobbidi boo your way through that boo boo, okay?
If it were easy, everyone would do it. If it were easy, 20 years into me working and starting my first business when I was 21, I'd be a millionaire. I'd be writing checks to charities. I'm not doing that yet. 20 years in. Blood, sweat, tears. You think these dreams just happen for people? No. Walt Disney it doesn't. If only it were a Disney movie, I could little mermaid my way, right to the top, sit on the sand, go to the rock. Oof. Get out of the way, nick the poet. All I'm saying is, I got a fire underneath me today, guys.
All I'm saying is, it takes so much grit. It takes so much perseverance. It takes so many tears. It takes fights with the people that you love. It takes being down in the depths of your own darkest fears and coming out of them. Give yourself 24 hours, as coach Dar would say, and bounce right back. Because if you think that the greats are just great because they have a gift that they just get to snap their fingers and utilize, no. They keep going back for more. Look at my Oscar winner, Ki kwan. 20 years of not getting jobs and getting rejected.
It doesn't just happen. It doesn't just happen. So if you want your big dreams to come true, surround yourself with people who are going to fight with you. Fight for you and support you. Surround yourself with business partners and people that you love, that you would do anything for. Don't ever give up on yourself. Visualize it. See it for yourself. Believe it. Work on your confidence. Because if you're not confident in your product or yourself, nobody else will be. But don't give up. Do not give up on anything that you want to do.
Even if it's just get your b*** to the gym today. Psych yourself up. Build yourself up. See yourself on that elliptical. Climb those stairs. Sister, brother, whoever you are. See yourself there. Visualize it. Believe it. Because it will happen. And if it were easy, everyone would do it. So don't ever give up that fight. Don't ever do it. I love you guys. I hope that this leaves you with some inspiration today. There are going to be really tough days in your life. It's who you are when you deal with those moments and how you deal with them and how you reframe them is going to help shape the rest of your life and how people see you and how you see yourself.
So happy Friday. Go make the most of your day. Go make the most of your weekend. Go. Keep working toward making your big dreams come true. I'm right here cheering you on. And share this with somebody that you think needs to see it today. Or tag them in the community feed or just take it with you and watch it again when you want to feel a little feisty and get some fire underneath you. So have a great weekend, you guys. Love you all.
