It's time for you to recognize. The person that you are being is not the person that you have to be.

It's time for you to be more motivated than you've ever been in your entire life, rather than settling for what you have.

John Tazar, you didn't wake up one day and think, I just want to be a mediocre person. I want to be like everybody else.

No. You had a burning desire to learn, to grow and evolve.

The problem is that you settled into a world that said, it's okay to be comfortable. It's okay to stay where you are.

But the fact is, if you're staying where you are, you're going backwards.

You see, to be motivated means to move through things.

The word motivation comes from the Latin of motive. What is your motive for doing what you're doing?

The fact is, we are all here to grow, to evolve and to contribute.

Jim Rohn famously said that the difference between us and all of the other animals on the planet is that we have the dignity of choice.

A tree doesn't think to itself, well, you know what? I've had enough of growing. I'm just going to stay here.

No, it does what it is meant to do. Every living soul, every living cell lives for one reason.

It lives to grow, to express itself fully.

Every day when we're not allowing ourselves to be who we are truly capable of being, there is a part of us that is dying.

The question I want to ask you right now is, who do you want to become?

What is it that you want to leave on this earth?
