A fearless motivational speech that is.

Let’s get into it.

Have Balls

The Quickest and Most Epic Speech About Greatness That You Will Ever Hear In Your Life

Whether you are a man or a woman.

You might hate this guy for who he is, but let me tell you something about Donald Trump.

He’s the most determined man on the planet.

Indisputably so.

When he came down those escalators on the day that he announced his intent to run for president, he made some of the most outrageous things that one could ever imagine.

I’m sure that you know what those things are. If you don’t have a look at the clip here to know.

He then went into the debates and called the other candidates even more outrageous names like “Little Marco,” “Lyin’ Ted,” “Crooked Hillary,” “Crazy Bernie,” and “Low energy Jeb.” He then attacked them and attacked them with statements that y=would make everyone say “What the hell are you thinking?”

But you know what?

It worked.

And it worked big.

Do you know why?

Because people today are scared. More scared than ever before.

Scared to shamelessly call people out on their horse crap.

But it is exactly what was needed to win the election.

And because of that, he got more attention and more attention and more attention with the free press that was brought his way.

People saw this reality and harmonized with him in agreement.

And because he kept this going, he won.

Having said that, it doesn’t take just any person on the block to do what he did.

It takes someone with an incredible amount of balls and guts to just go out there and say everything that he said with truthfulness and thoughtfulness.

But to really be GREAT, it’s what you need to do because people are going to try to sway you in different directions and lead you to BS.

You can’t let the BS get to you.

You need to be loud and proud of what you stand for and not back down. Because let me tell you something.

If you back down, everybody will eat you up alive.

And that’s the truth.

If it didn’t get to Donald, it won’t get to you.

Believe me and you will be victorious at the end.

And now for point number 2 of greatness:

Be Tough And Get Tough

The Quickest and Most Epic Speech About Greatness That You Will Ever Hear In Your Life

People are going to hate you.

It is what it is.

But it’s how you deal with it that matters.

Are you going to just sit there and complain and cry or are you going to man or woman up and say “To hell with them, I’m just going to be myself and I am not going to shy away from it like everyone else?”

To illustrate this point, let me tell you the story of Andy Dufresne and the Shawshank Redemption.

Andy was convicted of murdering his wife and the guy that she was having sex with. Essentially, she was cheating on him. The judge brought down 2 life sentences on Andy.

However, the reality was that Andy did not murder his wife nor the other guy.

So Andy became determined to get out of that prison as fast and as strategically as he could.

However, throughout his time in prison, he was met with a bunch of butt heads trying to get in his way.

There were the guards who constantly abused Andy, there was the warden who was using Andy to conduct a money laundering scheme, there were some inmates who constantly abused him every chance that they got, and there was the extremely unpleasant conditions in the prison that would make one throw up every single second that they are in there.

Any weakling would never be able to get through prison life at all.

One of the inmates that he befriended once told him that he shouldn’t try to break out at all and that it was a “pipe dream” to get out.

Understandably so considering that it’s prison, but combined with intellect and guts and a no quit attitude, Andy defied that expectation and broke out.

Here’s the scene of the break out and how you MUST be tough to do what he did.

Are you going to tell me that’s not tough?

Exactly.

That goes to show you that for anything that you do in life, there is no way out of obstacles and there is no way out of torture of some kind.

It’s just the reality.

No ifs and buts about it.

Now let me tell you something about tough.

It also takes toughness to not break any laws.

If you are going to do anything worthy, you better not break any laws.

Believe it or not, almost everybody breaks laws every single day.

But it takes someone with a certain level of integrity and honor to not do any of that bullshit.

Be that person and you will be outstandingly great and you will take toughness to a new level with some common sense.

Don’t be crooked.

And now for the true mark of greatness.

Be A Relentless Beast

The Quickest and Most Epic Speech About Greatness That You Will Ever Hear In Your Life

Listen closely to what I am about to tell you. If you comprehend it fully, you will be a freer and more powerful man or woman than you are right now.

Most people on this planet are wussies.

In case you don’t know, it means they are scared to their pants to go after what they want.

And this is great news for you because they are underestimating their chances in life.

Now why are these people scared?

It’s because they are not persistent in what they want in life.

They sit on the sidelines instead of doing something about it.

The first moment you ask them what they want in life, they say “I dunno” (instead of don’t know) when in reality, they know exactly what they want but they are too afraid to admit it.

As a result of that, they become lazy and unproductive and they waste a WHOLE lot of time. Just for the record, that’s about 95% of the population.

In reality, you are competing with, at most, 5% of people on this planet who are not like that and actually know what they want and are extremely persistent in going after it.

Within that 5%, it’ a matter of who is the most persistent person in that group who will take the gold.

I want you to think about someone that you’ve seen who you’ve labeled as “unordinary” and to a degree “crazy” and think about the results that they’ve achieved in life.

Yes. That’s right. Insanely great results.

Why?

Because they NEVER for one second believed in anything less than what they wanted and they just kept going and going and being themselves and being super duper DUPER special and getting everything that they want.

You see, a lot of times, when people tell you to “grow up,” they are really trying to tell you to stop going after what you want and to accept a mediocre reality.

If you succumb to that, you get a mediocre reality.

Do you really want to live like that?

That’s boring as hell.

Mediocre means you are in the middle, another small fish in a big ocean.

Nobody is going to reward that.

You will just be another brick in the wall.

Let me tell you something else.

If they call you crazy (and you’re not breaking the law), don’t worry about it.

They just hate you.

They will never understand and they will do everything to bring you down.

You’ll be called names and you will lose the approval of your family and friends if they don’t support you, but if you just hang in there with yourself and you don’t let ANYTHING get in your way, you will come out on top.

It can’t happen any other way.

If you want additional guidance on how to be great, I heavily recommend getting a copy of “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill here on Amazon, which is known as the success bible amongst those who are successful in any endeavor in life. Please note: I am an affiliate for this book and I will receive a commission for your purchase if you do buy through my link, but the price that you pay will not change.

My friend, greatness lies within yourself and your choice to choose your own destiny in life.

Do yourself a favor and do it. You won’t regret it.
