YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME - Best Motivational Speech Compilation (Featuring Eric Thomas)

I want you to live the life you were meant to live, you hear me, not the life you were given. I drop out of high school because that's the life my dad gave me, but I've been married for almost 28 years and have two children. by the same woman, which is not my experience, I had brothers and sisters, none of us had the same parents because I decided that's the life you all gave me. Humans don't move to another level when they're comfortable with the level they're at. You only move to another level when you're at this level and you eat out of trash cans and say enough is enough when you live in abandoned buildings in the winter. and you say enough is enough, you just transition from one level to the next, when you get tired of the level you are at, you will not transition in life if you are happy with where you are and the problem with some of You guys are happy to be broke, you're happy, just be honest when you get out of here.

Some of you are not transitioning because you are fine with the life you have and I tell you that when I get out I want to be an example that you can start from wherever you want and get to where you want to go. It's time to go to work I'm telling you I've been thinking what I've been doing because that's what I'm asking you to do what makes you FS the reason you're so lazy is not because you don't have the ability you're so lazy because your dream is so small your dreams are so small you study me on the internet if you look at how I became number one in the world you have to take it back you can't start where I am now You have to start where I started and the way I blew up before The reason I knew I was going to explode is that I took all the classes seriously.

That's how I exploded. I got to a point in my life where I was like me, E, him. The gateway to all success is through knowledge, we are not talking about degrees right now, none of my degrees are hanging anywhere, in fact when I got my PhD, I was told while we hooded you, what do you want me to do? let's do? I mean, I said, I don't care what you say, but make sure you tell them I started with a G. Is it going to be a dog fight? I would love to tell you that on the road to success everything will turn out well.

It is not like this. It's going to be a dog fight on the road to success I lost five aunts to cancer It's a dog fight in the middle of my business I lost aunts I had to go to funerals We had to get on a plane We had to drive We had aunts close to us my age they died and they didn't have insurance we had to raise money a dog fight I made my cousins ​​shoot in stores execution style shots in the back of the head twice it's a dog fight how can you not see it on youtube you don't see that in me TG it's a dog fight my wife 3 years ago seven legions found a prayer it's a dog fight it hadn't been easy it's a dog fight it hadn't been the rooll no It's been a success like it's just a pavement and like every time who is going down this path, it has been difficult, it has been twisted, it has been difficult, but I decided that I will receive a reward for the trouble I go through.

I will not stop in the middle I will not be

defeat

ed I will not be destroyed I will take everything that happens in my life and allow the pain to push me to Greatness you will not break me you will not stop me you will not

defeat

me The only way I will lose is if I quit , it's going to be a dog fight, so if you're ready to quit, then don't start. If you're ready to quit, don't start. If you are looking for this easy route, don't do it. Start if you think they're not going to close the door on you and you say no a million times, don't start, but every time they close the door I get excited, why?

Because I'm not a no, I'm a yes. I'm young I'm just one yes away you can't keep telling me no forever you can't keep denying me forever this kind of energy this kind of passion you can't stop it you can contain it for a while but you can't stop this is life and you can't defeat me there isn't there you don't have enough power you don't have enough energy you don't have enough strength to stop this hold it back for a year you could two years you might not have hate you don't have enough energy to destroy love you can't destroy this it didn't happen to me at 19 it didn't happen to me it happened at 20 it didn't happen to me at 30 it happened to me at 40 after I had gone through all the pressure that I thought I could go through in life, I said you end all the pressure, I said yes and I said, let him bring the heat, then when I went through the pressure and the heat, all of you.

I thought it was over the Creator said now you are ready to be cut you say you wanted to be a great son you say you wanted to travel the world you said you wanted to help people inspire people hey you have to be a diamond in our Forces Armed forces, come on, just choose one, the Navy, for example, the first thing they teach you. Someone here, help me. In the Navy. Are you going? They are teaching you war. What is the first thing they teach you? The first thing they teach you is how to respond when you have a jammed gun and number two, how to carry your dead body, that's the first thing they teach you, they don't teach you how to defend yourself, they don't teach you how. to swim the first thing they teach you is when your gun is jammed the first thing they teach you is a dead body how to carry a dead body and someone tell me why would they start you there that's the worst case scenario that's what you are you're not prepared that's why you don't think you're not thinking when you go out to defend yourself that your gun is going to go off you're not thinking when you go out that they're going to kill your son and you have to drag, you're not thinking that, so listen to me, they're not the It is difficulties that hurt us, it is not that my cousin is shot twice, it is not that my cousin spends 50 years in prison, it is not my OST cancer, it is not that my wife is diagnosed. 7 even legs on a brain that will break you what will break most people you didn't prepare for it so when you put together all your little goals and all your little dreams it's not what broke you that broke you, It was never you.

I even thought about the fact that you might be broken, say it's going to be a dog fight and if you figured this out, it's not like you want to leave now, this is where you like it. I quit, but if you're willing to say no. you're going to quit guarantees any success you want to have you're going to have you won't outdo yourself you won't outdo me you can be smarter than me no you won't outdo me I'll get up at 3:00 in the morning and make videos I'll make a video at 3:00 I'll make a video at 2:00 I will I'm posting so much content for dogs they can't keep up, they're smarter than me they're better than me.

I admit that I have a GD. I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I get up and do this for Dei. I do this every day for Dei because of what Dei did for me. I do this for my children. Dad wasn't there I'm doing this for my family you can't stop me the reason why some of you might be stopped because you do it for yourself and guess what happened when you get tired when you grind and grind when you grind grinding hurts grinding is a sacrifice the cost of grinding when you're grinding and your body tells you it hurts when you do it for you, you stop, you never, never prepared yourself, you never, never prepared yourself for the worst case scenario and the reason you eat is to stay here because I'm ready for it, if you know anything about me.

I still lie on the floor. I still eat chips off the floor. I still do some things that most people find crazy, like why would you do that? Because I am always prepared that we may not live in that house one day. One day, something might happen and we might have to go back to it. And if I have to go back to that, that's not going to break me. What we cover most for a diamond to be produced. First it must go through extreme heat extreme heat extreme pressure are you listening to what I'm telling you? for a diamond to be produced, it has to go through extreme pressure extreme heat and if that wasn't enough, what makes a diamond a diamond is the I tell you if you want to be a diamond you must go through extreme pressure, if not you can handle the pressure then you are not a diamond after going through all the pressure that you thought you couldn't handle and you think it's then turn on the heat of all the things I've been through in my life eating out of trash cans sleeping in the abandoned buildings the worst thing that has happened to me is when I went to the hospital and they told me that my wife had a chronic illness and she might not be able to walk one day people say ET, ask CJ, she never broke me why because I have I feel so defeated, so disappointed, I have felt very disappointed in my life and I know what it feels like. and I can handle it the pain is temporary it can last a minute or an hour or a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place if I let it however it will last forever some of you in the room right now you are where you are you they give 60% when you have 120 in you why because you never made a decision we all have 24 hours okay what makes some of us average makes some of us good some of us great it's not the family you were born in the right way has nothing to do with that it had nothing to do with your social economic status, it has everything to do with how you lead your life, so if you have a bad day, which is not such, it does not exist.

You had a bad moment and were so immature that you let that moment dictate the rest of your day and you are not children anymore. I don't go to elementary school and some of you are adults, but you are still children. you brag that you are an adult you are only an adult because of your age you are not an adult because you control your life yes I was homeless for 2 and a half years and the problem with most of you you never felt it no pain before you all You're all spoiled, all of you are spoiled, some of you are spoiled, your parents have done everything for you, you never had to do anything for yourself, you're spoiled, let's keep it real tonight, some of you of you they are. spoiled brats every time you got in trouble someone in your house would get you out of trouble every time you did something you weren't supposed to do people say Eric your mother is a tyrant you're right she kicked me out you're right I mean, but she developed a man because he put me out there and said you were going to have to grow up and some of you have never learned how to grow up, so whenever something gets difficult, you leave it and call mom.

I challenge you to take some. pain how dare you I challenge you not to go home you are not going to die at the end of pain and success you are not going to die because you feel a little pain I don't eat like at home that's why you are about to go to the next level because If you continue eating as you ate at home you will continue to be a boy or girl it is time to become a man woman I love my life all of you must start loving your life and if you do if you go to the league or not you are not who you are because of the league you are who You are because of who you are and if you go to the league then the league will be blessed with your presence Are you listening to what I?

I'm saying, be comfortable with who you are, be comfortable if you're poor, if you come from a family right now that's broke, you use that to your advantage, I use that to my advantage, that I dropped out of high school, that I was homeless. , which IE. out of the trash can I love dealing with a guy who thinks because he comes from money he's better than me come on, come on, you've got money, but you've got that dog, yeah, you've got money, you've got priv, but you've got that dog, you've got that resistance , so yes, you may have something that I don't have now, but if I work hard I can have what you have, you have to give it your all.

No more television, no more parties, no more games if you don't have a 4.0 what you need to do is study leave the phone I'm sorry, I won't be available until the end of this year no, I'm serious you called the right number but you called me at the wrong time he calls. I returned on January 1st. I'm about to be busy now. I want you to have a countdown in your own home and say when the countdown ends with a real sh. Look at me because when I was homeless I knew something was wrong. I knew it was like that.

It's not my

best

and one day I said to a real Eric Thomas, please get up, a real Eric Thomas, please get up, stop being this high school dropout, stop giving up, stop sleeping in the street, stop walking up and down FCO Avenue like you. I have nothing and get your GED stop being afraid to take a test stop being afraid to go to college because your dad didn't go and your mom didn't go stop being afraid and be the

best

Thomas you can be, but listen to me, It's going to be hard, it took me 12 years to get a 4 year degree but I got it and guess what, in a degree you don't have dates but I'm exactly where I wanted to be because I realized that I have to commit my being to this I have I have to breathe it I have to eat it I have to sleep it and until you get there you will never succeed in life but once you get there I guarantee the world is yours so work hard and you can have whatever you want.

One day I realized that what was missing was confidence, guys. I remember being number 20 in the world. I remember being number 15 in the world and I remember when I became the best. In the world the only thing that changed is that one day I went on stage and said I belong here, of course the money changed, the blue checks changed, but I remember that everything in my lifeIt changed when I went on stage and said, why are you nervous? You belong here. Why are you nervous? This didn't come from a book. You haven't seen a video and taken this up in your life.

You have the credibility where you belong.So when I went on stage, I realized that one day, like me, you were homeless and you came out of there, you didn't know who your biological father was, but you fought to meet him and build a relationship With him, you are married. I've been married 28 years ET, you have two kids, same ET, you got degrees when no one in your family has had a PhD, no one in your family has written a book before ET, you went from the bottom to the top, ET, you belong on stage . you belong on stage Eric you have something to say you really care about people your motives are pure like all your things have been pure you're still in high school you're still in elementary school you're still in high school and you belong here We're still doing a free program for 10 years in the state of Michigan, you belong here, you post a video every day, you belong here and before I leave you, your problem is that no, no, you don't believe it. you belong here shh there those of you in this room are already there your problem is there are some things you don't want to give up to go you have talent you just don't want to give up sleeping not that they listen to me pound for pound any agent in the room pound for pound

motivational

speaker pound for pound entrepreneur pound for pound athlete P for p weightlifter pound for pound whatever you do I guarantee that when you do it no one can do it like you do it the problem is almost you don't do it you love too much sleep you love that alcohol too much you love that substance too much you love that vice too much there is something you love more than yourself than your dreams what do you do on the days you don't feel like it so I'm going to be honest with you I'm over that every day I feel like everyone every day I feel like eating every day I feel like giving my wife the best life every day I feel like driving a nice car every day I feel like flying first class every day of my life I feel like giving a every day someone said yesterday ET you gave 120 what are you going to do tomorrow I said I don't know get 140 no I don't know, but I don't have days when I don't feel like it.

Why because I count on me. My wife is counting on me. I don't have days to waste that person who was your enemy. They thought she had defeated you. that person who told you that you would never come out of the closet thought he had defeated you I need you to say it so they can hear it one two three I 1 2 3 I 1 2 3 we are going to add this a statement I I am going to read you something, we are going to add this and I come out, we're going to add this and I need you to say it like you want to say, we're going to say I am, therefore, it is and when you walk.

You're going to live it out of here 1 2 3 That's why I love it 1 2 3 So, okay, okay, this is good, but I don't have enough attitude, I know, the little attitude, okay 1 2 3, so That's what I am. it's 1 2 3 I'm for that 1 2 3 I'm there 1 2 3 I'm I need you to do me a big favor in three beast mode one 2 3 beast mode the rich don't waste their time they realize that it's their most important asset they don't see a lot of television they are not entertained much if they are not working they are studying their craft and improving in their craft so I need them to stop having the poverty mentality so when I left it my job was to be an entrepreneur my mother told me: what are you doing?

I was like I was giving up. My mom's don't you dare give up. You're going to embarrass me. You have a wife and children. Does YouTube have insurance? Youtube? I have a 401k and I was like, M. I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I love you, but you can't teach me how to be a millionaire because you're not one, you come from working class and I'm not mad at you mom, we wouldn't be where we are without you, but you told me that every generation is supposed to get better, so I'll take your values , but I will not accept your work on them. because the rich don't work, they think that the poor are going to register, I earn this in an hour, the rich go, I put them to work and I earn so much in a house, look what happens, you are working for yourself and your family.

You have 40 of you working at a time, so you give them 20% and then you are left with 80% of 15,000 people, so what you have to decide is whether you are going to continue being the 99% or whether you are ready to be part of the 1% when you want this as much as you want to breathe, that's when you find a way, you have a chance right now. A real man in the dark when no one is looking, he gets to work, a real man when the coach isn't even looking. He studies film on his own because he loves the process because real lions like to hunt.

They love the process as much as the prize. If you're going to be a champion, if you're going to be a beast, you're going to have to go through something. crisis is not a permanent condition and crisis is a human description it is just a season this is important and the key to life is to survive the season the key to life is to survive the season if you can stay warm long enough, something will come, in other words, the season has come for you to leave the job you're in, why is there a better one ahead, he has to prepare you for that, so he has to close a chapter to open a bigger chapter , prepare for something big, much bigger than what you What will you do with your pain?

Will you let it break you or will you let it redefine you? Seasons of crisis. Everyone says it with me. Overcoming seasons of crisis, no one can do it for you except you. And even though you will face disappointments, even though you will experience some setbacks, this goes with the territory. You must understand that life has taught me that you will grow through what you go through. Life has not taught me that on every level there is another devil. Life has taught me the depth of your struggle. determine the height of your success what you will do with your pain will you let it break you or will you let it redefine you and listen to me everyone has a dream everyone has a goal everyone wants something in life but many of you in this room, right?

Now your beast mode is inactive, your beast mode is not activated and when you leave this place I tell you that your life will go to another level if you can learn to turn that switch on and keep it on. I need you to recycle your pain. I want you to recycle your pain now. Many of you, when you receive this water bottle, might be thinking that this is the first time this particular plastic has been formed and we don't. I know this could have come from any right, so you have to do me a big favor because what you are going to discover as you move towards your dream, as you move towards your goal, they are going to be, they are going to go. so many distractions there will be so many people who hate so many people who run into you so many obstacles so many trials so many tribulations people ask me to eat and I really really like to eat I know you can give me 20 things I've done to help yourself succeed, but ET I only need one or two, can you give me one or two?

And one of the things I tell people is that I survived the pain. I survived the pain when I slept in those abandoned buildings I maintained. Telling myself that someday you will be a homeowner every time I walked into that abandoned building. I told myself that this might be your current circumstances, but this is not how the story will end. All you have to do ET is survive today to survive. Today, when I got kicked out of school, I knew I wouldn't drop out of high school for the rest of my life. I knew I had to get through this one day, every day, when I woke up and one day, an abandoned building.

It's going to be et's day, but that day can't come if I give up today, soon it will be my day and I will recycle my pain when I didn't grow up with my biological father, he wasn't in my life. until I was 30 years old but I told myself today your father is not in your life but one day my mother and I spent months and almost years without speaking to each other but every day I told myself that one day I will I have an excellent relationship with my mother And someday what will you do with your pain?

Will you let it break you or will you let it redefine you? I survived the pain I survived the pain in three beast mode 1 2 3 Beast 1 2 3 1 2 3 I know I thought that if you are a good person and do right by people, people will take your kindness and return it to you, but what What I realize is that sometimes in this world, the nicer you are, the more they try to play with you. a fool, I fooled myself, I'm nice to you, you're nice to me, you don't always work like that, sometimes it's nice to me and I take advantage of you, so some of you are fooled, I just need you to do me a favor.

When you deceive yourself, you will never be able to get the results you want because the premise you are operating on is a lie, so you have to work from the truth and some of us don't want to deal with the truth because it is too difficult. you dropped out of school ET you grew up in a certain community to be able to do what you need to do like a Tony Robbins there are some things you don't have in your arson that if you can admit don't have it in your arson then you can go get it but until you admit that You don't have it you'll never be able to do it so I need you to be a big favor I just need you to be real and the reason why many of you don't want to be real because some of you would rather be in a lie and at least have a lie than not have it. nothing at all.

They already know that the job they are not is about their The boss is not willing to charge you, you are just afraid to quit and start your own business because you don't know if it will do well for you or not, you know you shouldn't come, be honest, you know that you should still do it. I'm not in that job right now, let me see your hand, let's be real, let me see the hand, you know you shouldn't be raising it high yet, don't play with me, raise it high, you shouldn't be in that job yet. but you fool yourself into thinking that one day it will be your day that one day you will merge your work and your vocation is not going to happen you will have to leave he gave me permission to say I am brilliant Yes, I may be different, but I am brilliant.

Yes, I may be loud, but I am special. He gave me permission, so the first thing I want you to do today is to keep telling yourself. I am, I am, I am, I am. and for those of you who hadn't started yet, I am and for those of you who started, I am the why because I can't believe I started with a GED and the GED became a 4 year degree 1 2 3 1 2 3 I am 1 2 3 I am I am great listen to me and I don't owe anyone an apology I am phenomenal and I don't owe anyone an apology I'm going to do great things and I don't owe anyone an apology anyone, an apology, I am, I was created to be great , I was created to do great things, I was created to have great things and I will no longer ask permission from others, that Eric Thomas who grew up in Detroit and had that Detroit mentality while I love it, it doesn't transfer to all communities.

I had to let the dream destroy you, let it strip, let it remake itself in em mode, don't be afraid, some of you are afraid, listen to me wherever you are, if that's where you're from. If you leave, you can always come back, I promise you, I promise you, when you come back you will be able to talk again, nothing will change, I promise you that, whatever world you come from, if you go to other worlds, you will always be able to come back. to that world. The version of you you are now is a blessing, but it won't take you to the next level.

What got you here won't get you there, so let the dream destroy you, destroy you, and redefine you. rebuild you make you stronger the first version of Eric Thomas, the high school dropout, that guy would never have been able to be here and help you. I had to destroy that Eric Thomas, it doesn't matter who you are, whether you're average or you're good when you get close to greatness and stay close to greatness, start listening to great podcasts and reading great books, and start hanging out with great people. , when you start to become part of great masterminds.

God, you just evolve and I don't. I know what happened, but every year I went from dropping out of high school and becoming homeless to becoming more of who I am every day and I can't believe it. My next goal is to win the Nobel Prize. Why did I have to come? think about something I'm giving you permission to be great I'm giving you permission to be everything you were called to be to do everything you're capable of doing to have everything you're supposed to have listen to me you have to Be careful when you walk around with Average people, all they will do to you is tell you what they can't do and it's okay that they can't do it, but that has absolutely nothing to do with us, we can go from being homeless to being in high school. from dropping out of school to having PhDs, writing books and becoming the voice of a generation, we can do what we think we can do and we don't need anyone's permission to do it but ours, you're brilliant, you're special, yes you are different and yes.

We're not doing it the traditional route, but greatness is upon you. Yo have to go ahead. Yo have to go ahead. Yo have to go ahead. You have to keep going in the 12 years so that the four year degree becomes a master's degree and the master's degree becomes a PhD God, I can't believe this. I went from being a high school dropout to a homeless person living in abandoned buildings to eating out of trash cans to Dr. Eric Thomas to writing six books. Guys, are you listening?what i say today? Stop making yourself small. and start playing big because I'm okay, okay, okay, let's stop at three 1 2 3 I am 1 2 3 I am 1 2 3 I am I am Listen to me I was literally homeless I was going to go to church Not really taking showers I wasn't brushing my teeth and this guy looked at me and said: you need to get your GED, you need to leave Detroit.

I will send you to college because greatness is upon you. I was 16 17 years old. I had never spoken a day in my life and this guy. He saw it as he saw something in me that I didn't and he gave me permission to be where other people said he couldn't be. He gave me permission to believe he was great. He gave me permission to think that he could change. world, he gave me permission to start something I had never started in my family before, he gave me permission to say "I am, I am, I am, listen to me very carefully when you graduate and get a job, if you want to get paid, never say ". no, never say again that it can't be done, never say with your mouth that it can't be done, even if you feel in your heart that it can't be done, you will say it out loud, you will let broken people say let it be people who get fired first say that you always say it can be done, even if you don't think it can be done, just say it and try to make something up.

I'm being real. I'm being real. I don't deal with people who say they get paid too little at my company, they like maintenance, when you say I don't know how or I don't think it can be done, I tell them, okay, you won't do it. I know how at the end of the year, when the bonus is distributed, you will not receive any bonus. What I need you to do is I need you to kill the noise. I need you to accept the I am and however you do it. I need you to do it
