sometimes I gotta look myself in the

mirror ask myself is that all you got

come on you're prepared you're

conditioned you've been beaten you've

been better you've been broken you've

been left for dead but there's more

because you're breathing and you feel it

so if you can feel it you can push it so

push pass

the truth of the matter is that's not

all you have there's more left in you I

know you are tired I know you're weary I

know you've been brought to tears all

the blood all the sweat all the

sacrifice all of the suffering I know

you want to quit right now but this is

not the time to let go this is not the

time to doubt this is not the time to

quit keep going use it to your advantage

see the pain as a stage see the pain as

a plane see the pain as an opportunity

you gave me an opportunity to reinvent

myself you gave me an opportunity to

come out of my grave that you put me in

you left me for dead I'm coming out

alive I'm coming out kicking I'm coming

out for you you left me and thought I

wouldn't overcome you forgot about me

you let go and thought I couldn't

survive it but I'm here

it's not always about people sometimes

life oftentimes most of the times life

will blood in your nose life will leave

you in a cardiac arrest life will leave

you in an accident life will knock you

upside your head and there you'd get

back up

use the pain

just more left

I'm talking to that person in the

hospital bed I'm talking to that person

that lost their mother I'm talking to

that person that lost their father I'm

talking to that person who didn't get

picked on the team I'm talking to that

stay-at-home mom I'm talking to the

Future engineer I'm talking to the

Future entrepreneur that Hustler I'm

talking to that person who's been called

to do something nobody's done in their

family I know you're going through an

unprecedented amount of pain but you can

press through it if you can feel it you

can lift it the time is now to do what

has never been done

he wants to produce the pain

so I hear the crowds calling

[Applause]

and even if they're silent

I will call myself

why is it that we go through life and we

feel like we can live without pain that

we can avoid pain that we can go under

it or go around it pain is like pressure

and without pressure there is no diamond

and I'm just wondering if there's

anybody out there that's listening to me

that is sick and tired of complaining

about the pain I don't make enough they

didn't believe in me they weren't there

they didn't see it they didn't pick me I

didn't get the raise I didn't get the

promotion she walked out on me he abused

me my kids are ignoring me my teenagers

are driving me crazy

I'm just wondering if there's anybody

that want to stop complaining about it

and it's going to use it to your

advantage

imagine if you could use pain as a fuel

imagine if you could use the pain as a

passport imagine if you could use the

pain to push you to condition you to

prepare you for the stages in the rooms

you've got to walk into and the tables

you've got to sit at and the stages you

have to stand on what if the pain can

make you better what if the pain could

build muscle what if the pain could

cause you to retire to LEAP further to

run faster what if the pain could help

you

what if all pain isn't hurt but it's

health

because you wouldn't have prayed like

you pray had you not been hurt you

wouldn't love like you love had you not

been hurt because you know what it's

like to hate somebody

so you refuse to go down that path

use the pain

a musician playing since instrument play

pain play it when pain shows up at your

door when people try to inject it

inflict it use it to your advantage

oftentimes it feels like it is

impossible and insurmountable Feast to

get past the beating but as long as I

can feel it I'm not in a state of
