Dig Deeper (Motivational Speech)

There are moments in life
Many moments where you will choose
Consciously or unconsciously, life or death
You will choose if your dreams will die with you
Or you will live your fullest potential while you're alive

There are moments that will define you
There are moments that will grow you
Or kill you a little more deep in your soul
Sadly, not many people stand up to those moments
Most people cower and quit, if you've done that before
Make the decision now to never accept it again
You are more than that

What do those moments look like?
It's when you've been working on your dream for years
You're out of money, everyone close to you is telling you to give up
Telling you to take the job, play it safe. But you dig deeper
You look at what you've done wrong, you learn more, you work harder
You find a different path, you sacrifice

You do whatever it takes to make that dream come to life
It's when you're in the gym, and your muscles are burning
You think you've only got one left
But you dig deeper and you discover you have three, four, five
That's how muscles grow
When it's pushed past the resistance
That's how you grow in life

It's when you're on the field and you're dead on your feet
You've already given everything you have inside you
But someone gets past you, your team is relying on you
You're dead inside but you dig deep and find some life
You dig deep and find something that is not of this world
It's from some place greater than you
And you make that tackle for your team

When you can walk off the field knowing
You've given beyond everything, that's winning
You can win or lose the game, but you'll never truly win inside your soul
Unless you know you've give everything
The same is true in life

Only you know if you've really given your all
Not just great effort until things went wrong
Not just working hard for a year before things got hard, so you quit
And gave up on your dream, I mean really giving your heart and soul

I mean when you're dead on your feet
When you're buried by all the crap life piles on you
But you dig deeper and find life
You dig deep in your soul and discover you've got more
You have more inside
You have more inside

One more rep
One more lap
One more year
One more call
One more course
One more book
You have more
There's life inside you that you haven't even touched
Dig deeper

Most people have conditioned themselves to take the easy option in life
It doesn't work out in your business
Take the easy way out, take the job
Getting up early is too hard in winter, take the easy option, sleep in
You've failed, it's not for you, take the easy option, quit
No! In those moments you discover your true self

And you choose right then
The road to character or the road to misery
The road to growth or the road to suffering
The road to death or the road to life, because you will die inside
If you don't dig deep for the life you really want

You say you have tried everything
Dig deeper
You feel like there's nothing left inside
Dig deeper
You're getting okay results
Dig deeper
You may have achieved more than anyone in your family
Dig deeper

Life is growth, standing still is death
There is life if you are willing to dig deeper inside yourself
I don't know about you, but I will never want to pay the price it costs to quit
The cost of giving up is too much for me to bare
If you're ordering easy, I hope you enjoy the dessert
It's the disgusting taste of regret
I'm ordering growth every time
The option that enables character, I suggest you do the same
Dig deeper
