You see, discipline is the difference between the man you are and the man you keep pretending you'll become one day. Discipline is the bridge. Discipline is the weapon. Discipline is the father you never had, the mentor you never met. The structure your childhood never gave you. And until you built it, your purpose will stay locked behind the doors you won't walk through. Become a man your future can stand behind. You want success? Discipline. You want a stronger body? Discipline. You want peace? It's discipline. You want love that lasts? It's discipline. You want God to elevate you? It's discipline. Dreams are so romantic. But the world doesn't reward potential. It rewards discipline. Nobody cares how gifted you are if you can't show up. Nobody cares how smart you are if you can't execute. Nobody cares how much you you want it if you won't work for it. Discipline separates the men with the fantasies from the men with legacies. Because the battle is not outside. It's inside. Your greatest opponent is not another man. Not your environment, not your past. It's the voice inside of you that says, do it later. Sleep in. You're tired. You deserve a break. You work hard enough. That voice has killed more dreams than failure ever has. Keep showing up, Queen. Keep showing up, King. Keep showing up to the world. It's your time. Everybody wants to feel inspired. Everybody wants goosebumps and hype. Everybody wants that fire in their chest. But motivation fades. Emotions lie and feelings flip. The man without discipline is dangerous to his own future. You're fighting habits passed down for men who never learn how to control themselves. You're fighting patterns built in houses full of chaos, emotion and survival. But let me tell you something powerful. Discipline is generational warfare. You don't rise because you feel like rising. You rise because you said so. Because you command your flesh to obey your future. You think discipline is punishment? No. It's protection. Protection from the weaker version of you. The day you wake up early and pray. Read, build, train, work, focus. You are breaking chains your father never broke. Your grandfather never broke. Your whole bloodline never broke. So today, right here, right now, make the declaration. This is the season I become dangerous. This is the season I become disciplined. This is the season I become the man I was created to be. And once you decide, don't break your word. You better not break your word. Because your destiny is watching. Your legacy is listening. Your future is waiting. Now go. Become the man your purpose has been praying for. The world doesn't respect talent. It respects discipline. Yeah, talent is cute. Potential is sweet. Dreams. Are so romantic. But the world doesn't reward potential. It rewards discipline. Imagine you want to start a business or get in shape. You start to realize how difficult it is. The excitement fades. The results aren't there. But that's the point where most people give up. That's also where champions are made. I want you to think of the greats like Michael Jordan, Mary Curt, Martin Luther King Jr. What they all have in common is not a perfect journey to the top, but an ability to keep showing up even when it would have been easy to quit. But here's the secret. You don't have to be extraordinary to start, but you have to start to be extraordinary. You can lose that weight, but only if you keep showing up day after day. Early mornings, late nights, even if you're tired and you don't feel like it. Every day that you keep showing up, you send a message to life saying, I'm here to stay. I'm here to fight. I'm here to win. Others may quit, but not me. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. I gave too much of my time to the stream. I gave too much of my to this dream. I gave you my heart. I gave you the last words that I can leave on this earth to help another kid that buried his mother and buried his father before they became men and women. The journey in life is one of the hardest journeys you will ever take. Because you spend your whole life searching to become this great person. But when you finally make it, the people that you wanted to save is no longer living. So you gotta find another passion, another inspiration to keep going. God leaves your gift at the bottom of the stairs. And it's up to you to keep climbing. It's up to you to keep fighting. It's up to you to keep clawing and believing in your purpose, believing in your dreams and believing in the impossible. Live full and die empty. Become a gladiator. Become an individual that steps in the light and doesn't run from it, but run towards it. That's the true making of a king. That's the true making of a queen. Keep showing up. Because life will never stop until the dirt covers you. But make sure when that dirt covers you, the world remembers your name forever. Keep showing up, kid. The charmy. Where a man or a woman is made. The journey. The places where you bury loved ones and you gotta keep going on without it. The journey. The moment when you get that phone call, when you've been going to interviews for months and months and months and they give you that call back and they say, I'm sorry. Just didn't have what we were looking for. Is somebody out there right now? Is somebody out there talking about Quentin right now? And I want you to look me in my eyes and listen to me. You are special. No matter if you have a degree, no matter if you work at McDonald's, you are special. Your gifts, your special gifts, you were born with them. That's where you will find your greatness determine. I need you to understand this. It's you versus you. Your dream versus the world. Don't let them stop it. Let them see it. Let them see the shine. Some gonna fail tests. Some's gonna lose family members. But what not, keep chasing the dream that hurts you. The dream that bites and eats at your soul. Because this is the only thing you want to do. But just like when coach used say, keep running, I can hear him now. He said, keep running, Will. Keep running. I know you tired. Keep running. You want that degree? Keep running. You want that high school diploma? Keep running. You want to save your mama, other projects? Keep running. You want a beautiful life? Keep running. Let them watch you rise like the Phoenix and become one of the greatest this world has ever seen. The journey, this journey of life, this journey full of ups and downs and pain. Are you ready for it? Are you gonna sit down in the valley of pity for the rest of your life? Are you going to rise and keep running? This is you versus you. Listen to me again. I need you to understand this. This is you versus you. You see, once you stop paying attention to everything that has nothing to do with you, your life will change. You wake up every single day. You get on your Instagram, you get on your Facebook, and what do you do? You scroll up to see what's going on in other individuals lives. And I need you to teach you the lesson of staying in your lane, understanding your unique gifts that you have to give this world. You see, what I will relate to you guys with is the fact that I started off with a terrible household. I started off with people telling me, you're going to be just like your father. I started off with the echoes of the doubters screaming that you will stay in this pit of hell for the rest of your life. And as I watched around me, other kids listened. Other kids made this a part of their DNA. They decided to make this their reality. But I ran away. I ran towards my dreams because I understood that if I do not make it, my family dies in this pit of hell. But the only way I can start running, it's When I realized that it was me versus me, not him versus me or her versus me or them versus me. It was me versus me. Stop paying attention to the man that's already 100 miles ahead of you and focus on your next step. Put your crown on and become a king. Put your crown on and stop asking for other people to make you great. And you take it. And no, this will not be given to you. This will not just be handed to you. You're gonna have to take it. No, not with force or power. But I'm talking about your pure work ethic. I'm talking about relentless effort. I'm talking about that ordinary man outworking the so called extraordinary man. Put the crown on. I'm gonna tell you a story about one day I had to wake up and I had to go all the way down to another city to speak. And I had no money to get there. All I had was a dollar and 25 cents. And a burning desire to make it. You see, on this day, I learned about life and journeys. I learned that there's going to be people that you love the most. That you look in their eyes and you ask them, do you believe in me? You ask them, do you believe in me? Their mouth will tell you yes, but their eyes will tell you no. But it's not about what they did to you. It's about what you're going to do when it's done. Yes, in life we have plenty of people that say but, but, but, but. I say, but what? Now? You see, that's what life is about. That's what this journey is about. It's about what now. Once we take our eyes off our destination, we start to trip. We start to trip over fake, In fake relationships. But I promise you, if you look in the mirror and you ask yourself, what do you have to do to be successful? I promise you your heart will tell you. People always ask me, will, what is your morning routine? My morning routine is whatever it takes to be the greatest. I like to walk in new pastures and go into new valleys of battles and see if God gave me what it takes to continue to fight that. I will take that phone call, I will answer that email. I will go to the slums, I will go where the killer's at. Because I have a duty from the man above to save the souls that's dying inside. You see, the biggest mistake you motivators make in this world is you try to change too much. And what happens when you do things too fast? You make a mess. You see me I learned this very thing. Take it, keep it, dress it. Meet them where they are so you can take them where you want them to go. Wake up every single day thinking about how can I change my life? How can I stand on the stage with the giants? I realized that everything I ever dreamed of lives in the sky. And I must jump every single day to go reclaim what's mine. And that's royalty. As long as you believe in that very gift. Gift that you have in the bottom of your stomach. That fire that burns, that dream that wakes you up in the middle of the night and have you screaming to the sun rise so I can go after this dream. That is the very thing that you should taste every single day. It's you versus you. Your dream versus your world. You're gonna have to be phenomenal in everything you do, because everyone in the world is chasing greatness. And what do you. Man is going 100 miles per hour and you haven't even started the engine yet. Embrace being the individual that they say cannot do it. The best gifts come from the father. They will not see you coming as you rise, as you work every single day tirelessly for what you dream of. Now, if you turned your back on me, I promise I'm gonna make you turn around. You will call me king. You will call me king. We gotta make this decision in our lives today, kings and queens, that we will not be ordinary. We will be great. You have an everlasting potential. And as long as you have a heartbeat, as long as you have air in your lungs, you have an opportunity to change this world, change your life, and live your dream. Today, we will be kings. I see millions of motivational speakers that speak to the rich, that speak to the successful. I said, who speaks to the broken? Who speaks to the individuals that's still in the process? Who speaks to the individuals that doesn't want to live anymore? Every motivational speech you ever heard, I was talking to myself. And I was telling my story. I couldn't read till I was 16. I buried my mother to a heroin overdose. My father was a hitman. I used to sneak in crack houses to sleep next to my mom to make sure she was safe at night. But through all the chaos and all the pain, God built a warrior. So when y' all see King Hollis, and every time I drop a speech, I'm dropping it for you. That person that want to give up on his life, I'm dropping it for you. That person that don't know that they have greatness inside of them, I'm dropping this. You see the difference between a good player and a great player. See, that good player does just the minimum to get by. That great player pushes his body past the limit. He leaves every single drop of blood on the field. And whatever he does in life, he wants to be remembered as the greatest. He does that extra 10 when a coach only asks for 20. He runs that extra mile when the coach only asks for five. See, he knows he's going to have to dig deep inside his soul to bring out that king, to bring out that legend, to bring out that power that lays in every single one of us. But we won't go deep enough to give. We're not gonna be good. We're gonna be great. Being broke is a mindset. That's something that you put inside your head. That's something that you tell yourself every single day. I literally started from the side of a Turkey Hill gas station. And all I did was ask someone, could you give me an opportunity to go into your studio? Could you give me an opportunity to walk into this place every single day and create my motivation? The time didn't take long. It was only two to three minutes. And I'll finish a speech and I'll give it out. Because many of you guys don't know I do not write speeches. Everything I do is from the heart. So what I did was I truly believed that I have something special to give this world. And I want you to know that you have something special to give this world. Don't ever believe that the lack of funds is the reason why you're not being successful. This is not true. The lack of belief is why you're not successful. Every single human being on this earth is a walking million dollar check. And our belief in ourself, our grind, our true grit to wake up every single day and tell ourselves and tell the world that I will be something special is what separates you from everyone else. I learned that when I stopped being envious of people and stop judging people and stop being angry that I'm not on their level is when I truly started to elevate in my career. I said, I told myself I will never take a dollar bill from another person. I will never sell my dream in my gift to anyone for any dollar amount. Don't you ever do that. And every morning you wake up and you look in the mirror, I want you to look in that mirror and I want you to tell yourself that I am special, I am great and I am phenomenal. Nobody will stop me from reaching my goal. My goal, my individual goal, is to become one of the best speakers of all time. But I know I have so much work to do. While they sleep, I must work. While they party, I must grind. While they procrastinate, I must go after my future with a relentless effort. And I want you guys to grow to be successful with me. I. I don't want to just be successful by myself. I want my message to grow other people and make other people successful. That's what life is truly about. It's about picking great individuals and taking them with you. We gotta make this decision in our life today, kings and queens, that we will not be ordinary, we will be great, we will be kings. This life is about serving and giving and being true. We live in a world where people believe everybody is out to get you. But I'm telling you now, some people is just out to love. So for the rest of my career and the rest of my life, I want you to look at William Hollis as your brother, your family. Because we are. It doesn't matter what color you are, it doesn't matter where you came from. The only thing that matters is who loves you now. Growing up in the projects of Pontiac, Michigan, I realized two things. I realized that I won't make it if I believe that this is my reality for the rest of my life. And two, I had to realize that all the knowledge and my gifts were already placed inside of me at birth. All I have to do is fine tune. All I have to do is keep working on this craft every single day and I can be successful. When I sat on the side of that Turkey Hill gas station, I realized that no one would believe in me. No one. No one will say William Hollis one day. Your speeches will be played all around the world. No one. And I realized that pain was necessary. I realized that without my belief, I cannot go to the next level. And I want you guys to know every piece of motivation I give you. I'm talking to myself. The world just happened to hear. Let's become legendary. Let's not focus on who don't see anything in us. Let's focus on everything that does. You are filthy rich. You were born rich. We're going to forget about the generational lack. We're going to forget about the people who left us. And we're going to focus on the people who loves us. We're going to focus on the people who believe in us. Because you have greatness inside of you. You have an everlasting potential. And as long as you have a heartbeat as long as you have air in your lungs, you have an opportunity to change this world, change your life and live your dream. Today, You are not broke. You are filthy rich. You were born rich. We will be royal forever.
