Never Give Up

Some of you don't even realize that you have unfinished business

You need to go back where left off with a new perspective

Go back to the gym, go back to the drawing board, go back to the business

Go back to the relationship, go back to the burning building

You have Unfinished business

All you got to do and show up with a new game plan and a new perspective

You've got a unfinished business

You have unfinished business, you got work to do

Perspective is everything, let's go

I need you to hear me loud and clear

How you see this thing is everything

You cannot change the past

But you can't change your perspective about it

You've got to see this thing differently

Stop complaining about the divorce

Stop complaining about the job loss

Stop complaining about the relocation

Your viewpoint is your advantage

Thank you for breaking up with me

Here's what you did

You open up another opportunity for somebody else to come into my life

Thank you for firing me, you gave me an opportunity to explore entrepreneurship

I'm not bitter, I'm better

Perspective is what changes the game

Everybody wants increase and abundance and lifestyle change

And new zip codes and new area codes

But you only read once a week and you only work out once or twice a month

And so the reason why you don't have what it is that you see

The reason why what's in your head is not in your hands

It's not your reality. It's because your perspective opposes your potential

You don't have it, because you don't see the value in it

If you believe you've been going to be the difference maker

The game changer, the disruptor

The person that comes into a room and commands the atmosphere

If you believe you've been called to be necessary and not grossly irrelevant

Then everything you do

Everything you see, everything rises and falls on your perspective

Your perception, your viewpoint

How do you see this thing?

What happens when your perspective, your perception diametrically opposes your reality?

If you are going to give and grow and evolve and attain and become

Everything rises and falls on your viewpoint

Show me somebody that hates to work out

And I'll show you a man that almost lost his life and the doctor said, if you don't work out, you'll die

One sees it as cumbersome, one sees it as a problem, another one sees it as a privilege

He sees it as his second chance, his new lease on life that I have to work out

I get to work out, I get a chance to live a little longer

So one person sees the gym as a prison and another person sees the gym as a passport

One man came within inches of losing his life

And another man has never come within 100 miles of losing his life

And he only walks out twice a month

And somebody else walks out four or five times a week

The reason why you only do it once or twice a month

Is because you don't see the value

Your viewpoint is either your advantage or your assassin

Your viewpoint will either get you going or get you killed

We see a storm, we see rain and we think depression

We think I can't do anything

Instead of thinking, grass can't grow without rain

Roses don't bloom without rain

Number one, there's one thing I need you to stop saying and that is I should do something

That perspective, that viewpoint

That ideology, that philosophy

That mindset is gonna get you bankrupt

I should start this, I should stop that, I should forgive, I should

You don't get what you should, you get what you must have

I Must work out X amount of times a week

I must forgive, I must evolve, I must become, I must retain

I must grow, I must live, I must evolve, I must go to the next level

I must live in this type of house

I must drive this type of car

I don't care how bad you think the shoes are that you are wearing

There is another man in this world who will kill to walk a mile in the pair that you wear

Marcus, what does this mean?

This means that what you are complaining about what you hate, what you can't stand

What you want to walk out of, what you want to give up on

There is somebody out there that would die to be in your position

And so, here's what I need you to ask yourself, is this problem, an issue?

Or is it an an opportunity?

Some of you all you've been waiting for your whole life was an opportunity

What if losing your job was the opportunity?

What if the divorce is an opportunity?

What if the bankruptcy is an opportunity?

What if the one you love was an opportunity

For you to reconnect with somebody and forgive them?

I need you to see the bigger picture

I need you to have a little gratitude

You need to learn how to smile

You need to work out, I know you hate the gym

I know you hate to lift weights, I know you hate cardio

I know you don't like drinking water

I know you don't like taking care of yourself

But you think it's the hardest thing to do in the world to commit

But there is somebody who's in the grave today and if they had another opportunity to live

They would enthusiastically, with great confidence and courage and consistency, do what you hate

Just to live a little longer

Find the positive, see the bigger picture

Guard your gratitude

The trial, the tribulation

The adversity, the giants is not your assassin

The giants is your opportunity

Are you gonna complain in the face of conflict?

Or are you gonna seize the opportunity?

I don't care what it is that you're trying to achieve

What you're trying to accomplish, what you're trying to give

How you're trying to evolve, what you are looking to become

Everything rises and falls on your perspective

Stop complaining about the jealousy and the envy and the backbiting

And the person that gave up on you and the person that wasn't present

And the person that lied to you and the person that attempted to manipulate and control

I'm not weary, I'm wiser

I'm not toxic, I'm triumphant! I see this thing differently

This season that you've entered into did not come to break you

It came to build you into the man or woman God has destined you to be

Change your perspective

There's a reason why they say, see the light at the end of the tunnel

If you don't see that light, you're going to lose your mind

You will lose yourself

You will snap in half if you don't see past this

The challenge for many of us is that we got to see past our present pain

And end to the fruitfulness of the future

The right perspective makes the impossible possible

You cannot change the past, but you can always change your perspective

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it

The severity of your problems is a matter of perspective

Change your perspective and most of them become insignificant

Some of them will no longer exist as problems, but opportunities

The right perspective is the instrument you need, the tool you need

It's a discipline, it's an advantage

If you change the way you look at things, then the things that you see will change

Knowledge, a speech, a motivational moment will not sustain you

Unless you put it into perspective, how will you see the rest of your day?

Because how you see the rest of your day

Will often times determine the way you see the rest of your life

Shift your perspective

If you can change your perspective, you can change the future

Many of you listening to me right now you have unfinished business

And you need to go back to that dream, back to that idea

You have a date with destiny, you have unfinished business

It's time for you to go back to the drawing board with a new perspective

It's your viewpoint, and watch this

Your perspective actually saves your language and your language saves your world

And so if you don't start thinking right, you're not going to talk right

And if you're not talking right

You're not going to experience the world that you see in your head

I don't know who God has called you to become, but what I can tell you is

If you keep seeing it the way you have seen it, you will never become it

Everybody wants next level

Everybody wants wealth and influence and everybody wants to be this esoteric novelty

But listen to me, you will never experience any of this

Showing up in your next season with the same viewpoint

The right perspective makes the impossible possible
