The Difference (Motivational Speech)

The difference is not one thing, it's everything

The difference lies with my desire
The difference is in my relentless work ethic
It's in my sacrifice and my dreams
Dream so big, they scare small minds
The greatest dreams are always called unrealistic
By those with no ambition

The difference lies in the extra little details
The extra mark, the extra rap, the extra set
The extra hour of work
The extra whatever it takes to get where I belong

The difference lies in my sacrifice
Others won't sacrifice like me
They aren't sacrificing their precious time for a future payoff
They aren't growing, warring and pushing forward like me
And that is the difference
I don't care what opinions the world has for my safe little future
I do what I believe is best for me

The difference lies in my response to failure
I know most will give up, I know most will cave in
I know most won't stick it out, but I do
And that is the difference
Success is what comes after you have survived all your failures
You have to fight through the bad days
So you can earn the best days of your life
Success is what happens when you stick it out
Grind it up, and show the character of a winner
The character of a champion

The difference lies in my attitude
I know most just want to get through
Get through the day, get through this test, get through this job
It doesn't matter what I do, I do it to the best of my ability
I'll do it with pride, knowing that nothing goes unnoticed
The man who does more than he is paid will always be paid for more than he does

The difference is in my want to get more
The difference is in my willingness to risk it all
For a dream only I can see
I know most will hesitate, most will toss and turn, fumble and fall
But not me, I'm all in, if I am in, I'm all in
Every time, one-hundred percent
The greatest risk in life is not taking any risks
I know that is the truth, and that is the difference

The difference lies in my persistence
I know most will plant their seed
Then give up moments before the seed grows into greatness
I don't give up, I'd never give up, and that is the difference

The difference lies in my work, the difference lies in my grind!
I'm not afraid of work, I'm not afraid of burning in the hours
Because I know each hour, each quality working bidding
Is bringing me one step closer to my dream, one step closer to greatness
I will work, I will work some more, and I will win

The difference lies in my vision
They will always say it is impossible, until it is done
I will make certain I get the job done

The difference isn't only one thing, it's everything!
