Never Give Up (Motivational Speech)

Remember the time
When you wanted more
Remember the time
When there were people in your life that did not believe in you
Remember the time when you
Honestly gave up on the possibilities
Of the uniqueness that you had inside
Remember there was a time that you complained so much
But yet did so little

There comes to a point in your life
That you must recognize that there is a little bit more
That has to be done
Than just complaining about it
You have to realize
That you don't have any other opportunities waiting for you
If you're not willing to work for the first opportunity
That's been given to you

You don't have a lot of time left
So there's no reason to complain
You're not even in the position to complain
You have to figure out that there has to be another idea about you
And you have to understand that there has to be something
Even greater and more challenging waiting for you

And if you're not willing to step outside of your comfort zone
If you're not willing to understand
The principles and the possibilities that you have within yourself
Then everything that you are thriving for
Everything that you are hungry for
Will soon come to an end

Now I'm not here to preach to you about this
I'm here to let you know that there are things
That are going on around you right now
That are far greater that your complaining
You complaining about so much
But yet you show no action
If you could trade places with someone right now
And the person that you are trading places with
May have it a little bit tougher
Than you have it going on in your life right now

So many people are suffering from so many things
In this world at this moment
But yet you're complaining
So many people in this world right now
Wish they could trade places with you
But yet you're still complaining
You don't have that right to just give up
You don't have that right to just throw in the towel
And say that it's over for you

Ladies and gentlemen, you've got to understand
That the reason that you are existing in this world right now
Is because you have things that must be done
And only certain people are qualified
To take it to the level that it needs to be taken to
For there should never be a limitation
To wherever it is that you are seeking
And how far you are willing to travel
And how far you are willing to go

Sometimes people tend to get a little lazy
Sometimes people like to put themselves in this little bitty box
And just say that they're okay with where they are
There can never just be an okay to anything
When it comes to that life
There should never just be a complacent mindset
How do we evolve?
How do you evolve?
How do you grow?

One thing about success
There are going to be many struggles
There are going to be many challenges
And there are going to be a lot of things
That you may not even understand
But you've got to go back to where it started

Remember when you wanted more
Because you cannot satisfy your hunger with negative energy
Being negative doesn't help you to grow
Being doubtful doesn't give you the power that you need
You have to come to a point in your life
That you must realize
That there are things that are going on
That is testing you
And maybe you may be in a position where you feel that you are broken
Or you're feeling that you are going to be broken

But I'm here to let you know, ladies and gentlemen
That you are build to last
I'm here to let you know
That you don't have the right to complain anymore
I'm here to let you know
That you've got to keep on living and living on strong

I dare you to take a trip to your local hospital
And you have an opportunity to walk down those corridors
And witness so many different people
Different age groups, different ethnicities
And each one of these individuals are fighting something
They're dealing with some type of sickness
And some of these sicknesses they may not be able to recover from

I dare you to walk down a neighborhood
Where there are many people that are homeless
And have no place to go, no food to eat
Barely even have clothes on their bags
I dare you to realize
That maybe you just don't have it so bad after all
Maybe it's time for you to realize
And recognize that your troubles are not that bad
Maybe it's time that you realize
That you need to get away from the drama that's in your life

Maybe it's time for you to stop chasing misery
And start chasing your dreams
Reconnect with yourself
Because this is not the time for you to be wasted
Putting yourself back
Instead of pushing yourself forward

Ladies and gentlemen
You have so much, so much to offer
So much to give, so much to do
But doing it and sitting around waiting for it to happen
It's just gonna stay in neutral
You have to electrify the desire that you have
That you once had

So the next time you feel like complaining
You feel like worrying
And you're so concerned about other things
That doesn't necessarily concern you
Ask yourself
Is it making you better?
Is it taking you higher?
Are you going further?
Or you just being complacent?

Complacent and complaining and worry
And doing thing that are not better for you
Or you gonna realize that maybe just going up that mountain
Does take a little bit more work
Than just having something handed to you
Or you gonna be that person that realized that if
And when you get to the top of the mountain
It don't just stop there

You got to figure out another way to go even higher
You have to electrify and get all the things
That are necessary within you to start
Doing the things that you need to do
So when the time comes
You can kick down that door
And move towards the possibilities
Of being the best of who you really are

Don't lose yourself
And the things that's not going to give you the strength
And the capacity of understanding that you matter for something
Don't lose yourself and fear
Don't lose yourself in doubt
Dare yourself to be better
Dare yourself to be unique
Dare yourself to be the best possibility
That the world has yet to see
