A speaker shares how his mother's death and lost NFL career taught him that time doesn't stop for suffering. He argues most people passively watch life happen instead of acting, and urges you to stop feeling sorry for yourself and do more because others depend on it.
Most people live as watchers, passive, just watching life pass them by. Most people live as wishers. I wish things would get better. I wish somebody would save me. I wish I had this opportunity. But if we being real in here, y'all say I can be real. Time, the sand don't care about how you feel. When I lost my mama, the bills that kept coming, time kept ticking, people kept living. When I lost my career in the NFL, I couldn't feel sorry for myself. So I want to tell you, you're not a sorry human being. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. And I know some of you are looking at me right now, man, Trent, you don't understand my story. I don't have to understand this to know that you're meant for more. As a matter of fact, today is the day that you be more, become more, you do more, you live as more because somebody out there needs you.
