1
You get to determine how you live.
2
You live life on your terms.
3
Everybody who wants to live the dream
4
and willing to put in the work to live the dream can make the dream happen.
5
What is it going to take?
6
What side of the dream you're going to be on?
7
Consistency is having a goal and when you wake up that day and you don't feel like it, you still do what you told yourself you was going to do.
8
That's all consistency is.
9
It is the days you don't feel like doing it, but you look at your wife, you look at your kids, you look at the country,
10
and you realize that I am where I am because of other people's sacrifice.
11
I got to get up and make it happen even though I don't want to get up and make it happen.
12
Because success is not a failing, it's a mindset.
13
And I got to clear my mind.
14
I need you to clear your mind of every single thing that's in it that's stopping you from being successful.
15
Some of you are not successful not because you can't do this business.
16
Number one, you're listening to people who have no business in your ears.
17
Stop.
18
It works.
19
It works.
20
High school dropout.
21
America.
22
It works if you work it.
23
You can have and be and do whatever you want.
24
I told you.
25
Who are you here for?
26
Who will benefit from you taking this business to the next level?
27
Who's gonna benefit?
28
They moved me in a way that I couldn't move myself.
29
What's the impossible?
30
What is it?
31
Is it a dollar figure?
32
Like really, in America, if you're gonna be successful, don't hesitate.
33
If you're hesitating, if you're thinking about it, you're never gonna do it.
34
Why?
35
Don't hesitate.
36
Why?
37
Because the way the brain is designed, the brain, it can't do two things at once.
38
As powerful as the brain is, it cannot think two thoughts simultaneously.
39
You're either thinking one thought or you're thinking another one.
40
So when you're hesitating, what does it mean?
41
It means you're using energy to stop.
42
It means that whatever your dreams and goals are, you're not using your energy and your strength to make that happen.
43
Nothing is impossible.
44
So you have to decide before you leave, what's that first thing that's been impossible for you?
45
I want you to attack it and overcome it.
46
I'm saying this to you because there are no excuses.
47
If I can come from a 17-year-old that got pregnant and my biological father was not in my life, high school dropout, lived in abandoned buildings and got to this point, you can do it too.
48
Why?
49
Because we're in America.
50
We can't say that everywhere in the world, but in the United States of America, nothing is impossible if you're willing to put in the work, if you're willing to put in the grind.
51
We live in a country of opportunities.
52
If you're willing to get up, if you're willing to work, if you're willing to grind.
53
Yes, there are obstacles.
54
I said, you didn't hear what I just said.
55
Yes, there are obstacles.
56
Yes, there's trials.
57
Yes, there's tribulation.
58
Yes, there's roadblocks.
59
But whatever the roadblock it is, it is not as deep as my wife with MS and she ain't never going back to work.
60
So I don't care what the obstacle is.
61
I will find a way to get through the obstacle to get what I need so she can have what she wants.
62
I don't care what the obstacle is.
63
And I'm telling you today, I don't care what the obstacle is.
64
What side of the American dream are you going to be on?
65
Listen to me, that's a question and it deserves an answer.
66
You ain't gotta answer me but you gotta answer yourself.
67
It's a mindset.
68
But a mindset without an opportunity is nothing.
69
I need you to replace fear with faith.
70
No more fear.
71
No more fear, faith only.
72
So do me a favor.
73
Write the word fear down and go look up all the antonyms and do that instead.
74
And I want you to say those antonyms every single day.
75
Anxiety, whatever the opposite of anxiety, go look it up and go do it.
76
Listen to me, you have an opportunity that you can't afford to lose.
77
You have an opportunity that you can't afford to give up.
78
Opportunities are great.
79
But most opportunities have more to do with whose hand the opportunity is in than the opportunity itself.
80
Listen to me very closely.
81
Anything is possible.
82
But nothing is possible if you have limiting beliefs.
83
There are no limits but the ones you place on yourself, take those limits off.
84
There are no limits.
85
There is no such thing of fear.
86
You're gonna die.
87
Live your life.
88
All I want you to focus on is the impossible and one day the possible GED, one day four-year degree, one day master's degree,
89
one day PhD, one day you will write books, one day commercials, one day the impossible you will laugh at the impossible.
90
You will look at the impossible and go, how was that ever impossible?
91
You will look at the impossible and go, what was I thinking?
92
Stop chasing money.
93
Money, they print it every day.
94
Go work on your mindset.
95
That's what you need to work on.
96
Go work on your mindset.
97
Get your mindset together.
98
There is no lack.
99
If you put in the work, it can happen.
100
Go to work.
101
Why?
102
Because I had an opportunity my grandmother didn't have.
103
I have opportunities that even Martin Luther King himself didn't have.
104
He didn't have YouTube.
105
He didn't have Facebook or Instagram.
106
How dare you have Facebook, Instagram?
107
How dare you have Zoom?
108
How dare you are virtual and impressive and you still can't make the American dream happen?
109
How dare you?
110
So you know what you want but you don't have a system to tell you how to get there.
111
Michael Jordan was phenomenal until he got with Phil Jackson.
112
He didn't win nothing.
113
You walking around here, you ain't got no system, and you love to hang with other people that don't have a system
114
because you get pissed when people bring you a system and try to put you in the system.
115
But look how your life is being destroyed because you don't have one.
116
I'm not talking about what you post.
117
I'm not talking about how you look and what you try.
118
I'm talking about the inner man.
119
When you gonna do the work, do the work is what I'm trying to tell you.
120
Do the inner work so you don't build with one hand and tell I with another hand.
121
Do the work, not the external work.
122
This your life.
123
This your life.
124
Do the work.
125
If you do the inner work, your stuff will never crash.
126
If you do the inner work, if you fix the inner man, if you fix the inner walling.
127
We got the same ending.
128
We gonna die.
129
So if you know you're going to die, why are you playing it safe?
130
Like if you know you're gonna die, why are you listening to other people tell you about your life?
131
If you're gonna die, why don't you live your own life?
132
You're gonna die anyway, don't die on your grandma's terms.
133
You're gonna die anyway, don't die on your friends' terms.
134
You're gonna die anyway, don't die on your parents' terms.
135
If you're gonna die, die on your own terms.
136
Man, I'm telling you, I'm so free now, and people think I'm free because of the money I make.
137
I'm free now because I'm living life on my terms.
138
Yeah!
139
90% of the people who are balling out of control literally write down their dreams, their visions every single day, multiple times a day.
140
But I'm telling you, that's what I've noticed.
141
And so for a lot of you, it's going to be tough to make your dreams and goals because of reality, because you're not writing it down.
142
Like, you're not looking at it 3, 4, 5, 6 times a day.
143
Right?
144
I know it's in your head, but you got to get it out of your head.
145
And you got to get it on a piece of paper.
146
And you got to share that piece of paper with as many people as possible, right?
147
Right every day of your life should be consumed
148
With actually living the life that you want to live
149
and not the life you think somebody wants you to live
150
You got to be consumed with you You got to figure
151
out who you are fall in love with who you are
152
and understand that any and everything you're gonna do in this planet That's gonna be great.
153
It's gonna be great cuz you was great not cuz you had a great app I'm just being real.
154
I just want to help you all out.
155
I want to help somebody I didn't get to the top because of my videos.
156
I got to the top because I'm comfortable with Eric Thomas I never dreamed of being over room like this.
157
I never want to be in no room like this I wasn't consumed with being here.
158
I don't need an entourage.
159
I'm enough by myself I don't need six people walking around I'm a long I'm being real y'all.
160
I'm about to help somebody number one I'm telling you like
161
you your story what you've been through who you are as a person Like it's enough.
162
I'm not tripping on what you think about me.
163
And too many of you in this room, you are never gonna get to where you're supposed to get to because number two, you are consumed with what other people think about what you're doing.
164
I'm just being real.
165
Like you're too consumed with what does my mom think
166
and my dad think and what do my friends think and what do they think online. Who cares?
167
And your problem is you care
168
so much about what other people think about what you were born
169
and called to do that you can't do what you're supposed to do
170
because they don't feel comfortable with what you're supposed to do.
171
Get over it and get over people and be your authentic self.
172
The wall follows people who know who they are because 90% of the world don't know who they are.
173
No, I'm gonna say that one more time.
174
You missed that whole thing.
175
I'm about to tell you the way you blow up.
176
The way you blow up is being yourself
177
and not worry about what other people think
178
because most of the world is worried about what other people think
179
so we actually honor and respect people who know who they are.
180
I want to show you a secret to success.
181
A secret to success is that people are attracted to confident people.
182
Because I finally know who I am.
183
I woke up one day and realized how dope I was.
184
I woke up one day and realized how sweet I was.
185
I woke up one day and realized how unique I was.
186
I woke up one day and I'm telling you today, when we walk out of here, it's not about Eric Thomas, nobody else, it's about you.
187
And I'm not being disrespectful, but most of you will not get to where you're supposed to get to because you're so consumed with losing it, what people think.
188
I don't care what you think.
189
You can't copy me.
190
You can't be me.
191
You can't think like me.
192
You don't feel like I feel.
193
Some of you will never be, you'll never have, you'll never do because you're sitting around waiting on a phone call
194
because you're sitting around waiting for somebody to give you an opportunity.
195
Your opportunity to get your mama out of that neighborhood and get your mama into a new neighborhood, listen to me, that opportunity might come in the next six months.
196
You knew it's your job and you're like, ET, look, I just got here.
197
I got forever.
198
Listen to me very closely.
199
You got to hear me.
200
You might be at that job another 10 years, you might be there another 20 years, but that opportunity, somebody's about to leave and get another job, hear me very closely.
201
Somebody's about to quit, somebody's about to get fired, and you will not, listen to me, you will not be ready at that particular moment to go to the next level.
202
Question is, will you be ready when that opportunity comes?
203
So you're rolling out of time.
204
There's a certain determination, there's a certain level of resiliency, a bounce back, a get back up, that you have to have to reach certain levels of success.
205
It's about being prepared beforehand so that when the opportunity comes, you already ready for the opportunity.
206
It's not playing call of duty and waiting by
207
and putting the phone by you waiting for somebody to pick up the phone
208
and call you that's not what it's about preparation we're getting
209
prepared just in case the opportunity comes I don't want to
210
start practicing on the opportunity I want to practice before so
211
when the opportunity comes I can stroke it are you hearing
212
what I'm saying you are who you are in practice
213
when you play and if you hadn't practice then
214
when it's time to play your play is gonna be practiced you heard me your play is gonna be practiced
215
so it's working in the off season it's doing what you gotta do in the off season
216
so in the regular season come you ready you heard me
217
say it before i am an athlete i am a professional
218
so whether there's a game or not i wake up
219
and shoot i heard a little kid called me last week
220
he said et thanks bro i got up today at five o'clock in the morning
221
and i'm practicing my soccer game he said
222
but guess what that's not what's important he said I'm not
223
on the team Eric he said I didn't make the soccer team
224
but I'm getting up at five o'clock every morning practicing as
225
if I made it there are two types of people there are people who plan for events
226
and when the events don't show up they don't show up
227
and then there's another group that's hungry
228
and they want it as bad as they want to breathe
229
and whether there's an event or not they getting up whether there's an opportunity
230
or not they getting up and getting dressed they getting up they getting out and they going to make it happen.
231
Are you hearing what I'm telling you?
232
I don't plan for events anymore.
233
I plan because it's a part of the process.
234
I plan because I'm a professional.
235
I plan because I create my own luck.
236
You ain't got to rely on nobody to get off average but you.
237
So if I was to ask most of you, you already know what your challenge is.
238
You ain't dumb, you know what it is.
239
You just don't fight it.
240
And at what point are you going to fight against that?
241
That nature in you that you know.
242
And you had a power to be great.
243
It's in you, you capable of it.
244
Now, you have to understand if you stay average
245
and you stay good You'll never get to where you're trying to get to and I'm challenging you to fight it
246
We all have 24 hours
247
What makes some of us average make someone's good someone great is not the family you was born into
248
I had nothing to do with that had nothing to do with your social economic status
249
It has everything to do with how you command your life
250
people act as if
251
if you grow up in a house where your parents are
252
rich you're automatically well we can look at people who grew
253
up in wealth they'll drugs to they make bad decisions to
254
unfortunately they take their lives as well it doesn't matter where you come from
255
if you don't activate you the environment doesn't matter anyway it's the mindset
256
and so when i look back like i had a victim mindset like everything was about somebody else
257
all the anger and the frustration
258
and the hurt it was all blaming everything was about this person
259
or that person this part everything that's supposed to blow me up
260
and take me to the next level has is somebody else's responsibility.
261
I never even realized I was where I was because of who I was.
262
And I was actually getting the physical manifestations of my thoughts, of my feelings, my emotions.
263
Like, I was creating this and didn't even realize.
264
I thought my mom created it.
265
I thought my father created it.
266
It's like, no, E, you created this.
267
And I'm going to tell you, the moment I realized you are the greatest common denominator, like, you're the common denominator.
268
Once that realization hit me, it was like, oh, okay, you got some confessing to do, bruh.
269
And I'm going to tell you the hardest thing that I've ever done.
270
Somebody asked me the other day, like, what's one of the hardest things you've ever done?
271
The hardest thing I've ever done was look in the mirror and tell myself I was sorry.
272
And so the Eric Thomas that you've seen, that dude is the dude that looked himself in the mirror and was like, yo, you owe yourself an apology.
273
You owe yourself correction.
274
You owe yourself change.
275
You need to be taught, you need to be trained, you need to become a better human.
276
That was one of the most difficult days of my life, was looking at myself, correcting myself, telling myself I was sorry, and then moving forward saying,
277
now what are we going to do from this point?
278
You always blame somebody, but why?
279
And the reason why is because it was easier to put it on my mom and my dad
280
than for me to have to do the work.
281
Because what I didn't realize as a young adult is that when you say it to somebody else, whether you mean to do it or not, you give them the keys to your life.
282
You said it.
283
They didn't do this, and because they didn't, they got the keys.
284
Feel this word, vision.
285
It means the ability to see the end before you even get started.
286
And that's what I need y'all to do for me.
287
Like, don't, look, don't get so caught up on, you know, counting the cost.
288
I'm gonna have to do this, I'm gonna have to do this.
289
No, I want you to see the vision.
290
I want you to see the full picture
291
and then we're gonna walk into it Like I had a
292
vision of getting a GED a vision of getting a four-year degree a vision Listen to me.
293
It just didn't happen on its own.
294
I had to see it first a vision of traveling across the world
295
I'm trying to tell you if I could do it anybody can do it, but it's not working harder You need to be more disciplined about your mind.
296
Hmm Mmm.
297
You're already in pain.
298
Get a reward for it.
299
Look, do me a favor.
300
Everything you say, you're right.
301
But why go through life with whatever people did to you when you were younger or a young adult,
302
and then you have to live with it for the next 40, 50 years.
303
All the stuff that you said was absolutely right.
304
My daddy wasn't there, my mama did this, this person did to me.
305
Why would you let them destroy your life?
306
Mm, let's go.
307
Why would you let them own you?
308
Why would you allow that thing they did to hurt you not define your life?
309
It's like no, I was in pain.
310
It's real.
311
And so I'm saying to everybody, we all go through pain.
312
Some of us go through pain and it becomes our tombstone.
313
Some of us go through pain and it's a scar.
314
And we live a life of reward.
315
So I'm just going to say, you got to deal with all of that.
316
Because when you get here, when you get to this level, you ain't practicing no more.
317
You either got it or you don't.
318
You don't even realize it's a blessing that you're not there yet.
319
Because had you got to where you wanted to get to, most of you might lose it.
320
You forgot what it was like when you was hustling in high school playing ball.
321
When you were in college hustling to get to this point.
322
Before you had the jersey.
323
You remember that?
324
You put in 120% every time or you don't put in nothing because listen to me very closely.
325
Today this opportunity you have, it might not be here next year.
326
It might not be here the year after next it might not be here the year after
327
that This is the only moment you got
328
and you better take advantage of this particular moment You might be sweeter than me.
329
You might be bigger than me.
330
You might grind listen to me I don't know you might have money.
331
I don't know where you come from, but you will not outwork me What Kobe said that blew my mind Kobe said I saw you in practice.
332
Why would I pass the ball to you?
333
I thought Kobe was a ball hog, so I read the quote.
334
I'm like, Kobe, I owe you an apology.
335
Kobe said, I want you in film sleeping.
336
I want you in film dozing off.
337
I want you in film not paying attention to coach.
338
I want you in film on your phone.
339
I want you in practice.
340
I saw you in practice.
341
I saw you in the real game.
342
What in the world would make you think with four minutes left in the fourth quarter
343
and we down by 10 to the Boston Celtics, what would make you think I'm about to pass you the rock?
344
Have you lost your mind?
345
Have you seen me in film?
346
I got there before coach got there.
347
I left, coach left and I was still there for an hour.
348
When we lost to the Miami Heat, I was still in there practicing while the rest of y'all was in South Beach on the beach having fun.
349
While the rest of y'all was drinking with girls.
350
While the rest of y'all was on the beach acting like we won.
351
We lost to Miami in the regular season.
352
We might have to play them in the doggone NBA tie.
353
Y'all sitting here playing and Kobe took the same exact shot.
354
Three hours.
355
Kobe was in the Miami Heat.
356
He was involved.
357
He was in the guard for three hours.
358
He shot not 20 different shots.
359
He shot the same shot over and over again that he missed.
360
Because he knew he was going to get a chance again.
361
He said, I ain't going to mess up the next time.
362
Why would I pass you the ball?
363
Some of y'all crying because you ain't getting time.
364
Why would you?
365
What makes you think you deserve time?
366
Just because you made it to the team?
367
That's what that behavior got you here that behavior ain't gonna take you to championship
368
Guys you gotta understand
369
The opportunities that you have you know I've been to third world countries
370
Where it does not matter how early you wake up.
371
It does not matter how long you stay up It doesn't matter what your skill sets are.
372
It doesn't matter
373
You don't have opportunity you have people all over the world who are dying to get here
374
literally dying to get here you have an opportunity of a lifetime
375
and where much is given much is required San Antonio was
376
so close to winning they start bringing the trophies out and
377
when my man got the ball in his head like I'm looking
378
and I could almost see him thinking like listen to me
379
it's third quarter living you got an opportunity of a lifetime what I discovered is
380
if you don't make it happen in game six it probably won't happen in game seven you might not get
381

Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | that's been · I've noticed · you've been |

| Oraciones de relativo who / which + oración — información extra sobre una persona o cosa | people who have · people who are · people who know |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 218 contracciones y formas reducidas, como you're, I'm, don't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “th”: authentic /ɔˈθɛn.tɪk/, athlete /ˈæθ.liːt/, grandmother /ˈɡɹæn(d)ˌmʌðɚ/
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: entourage /ˈɑn.tə.ɹɑʒ/, manifestation /ˌmænɪfɛˈsteɪʃən/, tribulation /ˌtɹɪbjəˈleɪ̯ʃən/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, correction /kəˈɹɛkʃən/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: denominator /dɪˈnɒmɪneɪtə(ɹ)/, consistency /kənˈsɪs.tən.si/, apology /əˈpɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/, manifestation /ˌmænɪfɛˈsteɪʃən/, tribulation /ˌtɹɪbjəˈleɪ̯ʃən/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: scar /skɑɹ/, scare /skɛɚ/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: carving /ˈkɑɹvɪŋ/, activate /ˈæktɪˌveɪt/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: hesitate /ˈhɛz.ə.teɪt/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, seize /ˈsiːz/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Empieza a velocidad 0,75×, haz shadowing frase por frase y vuelve a la velocidad normal cuando te resulte fácil.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como mindset, obstacle, consume.
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
