It seems like you've always had pretty big dreams and aspirations. Number one, where did it come from having them big goals and aspirations? And two, why did you even think that that stuff was possible given where you were coming from?
Back then, it was lifestyles in the rich and famous. And I'd see these houses and cars and yachts and boats. I knew what I knew. I was more afraid of what I knew than what I didn't know. So I was willing to take the risk, jump, and go out and learn. And what you realize through this journey is people that are going places don't talk shit. The people where I was at, you can't do that. That's not for you, dude. That's not for people like us. That's only for people born with the sil. More spoon in their mouth than all this other stuff that they've lied to themselves to keep them where they're at. And I just realized, like, dude, just start reading books. There's a lot of powerful books out there that you can learn and do now. I think the problem is people have too much access to too much information and they're too busy consuming, not creating.
