I want to tell you something today, man. I want to tell you something that can radically change your life for the better if you are willing to put my words into practice and give up on feeling sorry for yourself. I know that there are going to be times where you are going to doubt yourself in your life. Probably there are going to be a lot of times where you think, “Man, I am never going to be enough. I am never going to get what I want. I do not have what it takes to be the person I want to be. I am never going to achieve the goals I have set up for myself.” We sit here all of the time and we doubt ourselves like that so much, and I know it is easy to do that. I know that it is easy to give up on what you believe about yourself because things have gotten hard in your life. Sometimes you look at your circumstances and it seems like those circumstances are telling you that you are not going to be able to do nothing about it and that it is just going to be bad like this for the rest of your life. I know it can feel like a swirling cloud of these doubts that just never stop but I am just going to tell you right now, man: In those moments of doubt you have got to find determination.

So the other day I was watching something on the TV that I did not like. It was a show that I used to like but it didn’t interest me anymore. So you know what I did? I changed the station. There have been a lot of things in my life that didn’t serve me whether it was a TV show, a gym membership, or just a state of mind. When I realized those things didn’t serve me, I let go of them and I moved on to the next thing. I didn’t stay in the disappointment. I didn’t stay with the thing that kept me in the place that I didn’t like. When we find ourselves in a state of constant doubt that is okay. That happens. Everybody doubts. The problem is staying in that state of mind. When we find ourselves in a state that is not serving us, we have got to MOVE ON.

Some of you are in so many different places that you do not like. Maybe you are in a relationship that is not serving you or your partner. Maybe you are in a job that you hate. Maybe you are in a daily environment that you hate. Stop staying in the place that keeps you stuck. When you find yourself in the doubt, find the determination to get out of that place. Stop allowing yourself to feel sorry and sit in the doubt or the bad place that you have found yourself in. Find the determination to move forward and press on.

It all starts with you.
