Why Not You? - Study Motivation 2026

WHY NOT YOU?

WHY CAN'T YOU BE THE PERSON that changes everything?

The innovator, the trailblazer, the disruptor,

the person that makes a decision

that I WILL NOT BE THE weakest link in the chain of A DYNASTY.

WHY CAN'T YOU BE THE ONE THAT MAKES HISTORY?

WHY CAN'T YOU BE THE ONE THAT WINS AGAIN?

WHY CAN'T YOU BE THE ONE

THAT OVERCOMES THE DEMONS

that have haunted a family FOR GENERATIONS?

WHY NOT YOU?

WE'RE always there for everybody else, and I just want to ask the question,

and it's not an invitation into narcissism

or to be egocentric

or to BE SELF-CENTERED,

BUT WHY NOT YOU?

WHY DOES EVERYBODY ELSE GET THE BEST OF YOUR TIME

AND THE BEST OF YOUR ENERGY?

WHY IS IT THAT YOU ARE POINTED

AND present and seated in the chairs TO SUPPORT EVERYBODY?

BUT WHEN IT COMES to you, you don't believe.

You don't support you.

You don't invest in you.

You don't believe you.

You don't see it for you.

You've got to stop waiting for the opportunity to come along,

and you've got to learn to master the art

and the privilege of creating the opportunity.

>> >> Stop limiting yourself to what can come to you,

and focus on what needs to come from you.

There is no storm, there is no hurricane, there's no tornado, there's no giant,

there's nothing that is going to stop me.

I am determined, I am committed,

and I don't care if this thing takes everything I have.

I'm going after it.

If it BREAKS ME, IT'S MAKING ME INTO SOMETHING I COULD HAVE NEVER BEEN.

Who you are right now has gotten you

as far as you're going to get.

So, you're going to become another person to get there.

I did it when you thought I was crazy.

I did it when YOU THOUGHT I SHOULD HAVE QUIT.

I DID IT WHEN YOU THOUGHT I SHOULD HAVE GOT MORE SLEEP.

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I SHOULD HAVE WENT ON VACATION,

I WAS WILLING TO LOOK CRAZY.

I was willing to look foolish.

I was willing to look like I wasn't going down the right path.

Just to accomplish what it is that was set before me.

What is your purpose?

WHAT IS YOUR DESTINY?

WHAT IS YOUR assignment in this season?

Are you completely sold out to it?

Are you all in?

HAVE YOU POURED YOURSELF OUT LIKE A DRINK OFFERING?

ARE YOU WILLING TO DIE TO ACHIEVE IT?

And so, LET ME LOOK CRAZY FOR A SEASON,

AND I'LL live the rest of my life like a legend.

No matter the odds.

He's completely devoted to this idea that I'm not what I used to be.

And I'm not where I want to be.

But I have the opportunity and the privilege and the capacity to develop,

to grow, and become something, to evolve,

to move from point A to point B.

We have an unlimited amount of potential in us.

It's called stored-up potential.

And the only way to unlock stored-up potential is to believe.

Because when you believe, nobody can convince you otherwise.

You are a person of vision and valor and discipline.

You got this thing.

Why not you?

Stop looking for everybody else to do it.

Stop looking for everybody else to support it, believe in it,

to hand it to you, to point you in the right direction.

You have everything you need right now in this moment >> >> to take

a step forward.

So, do it.

You're talented enough.

You're hungry enough.

Do it.

Do it.

All you got to do is take one step

and you're no longer where you are.

And you're no longer where you used to be.

Just take a step forward.

You got to come to the realization that you're not going back,

that you're not going to lead an ordinary life,

that you're going to look crazy,

that you're going to look out of your mind to most people,

and that you're not naive, neither are you cynical.

You are determined.

You are dedicated and you are committed.

It's the crazies that make history.

It's the people that are willing to look foolish in front of everybody to

accomplish that one thing.

The problem with many of you is

that you are surrounded by people who ask you the wrong questions.

Why do you sweat?

Why are you bleeding for it?

Why are you losing sleep over it?

Some people are never going to get it until you lift the trophy in

the air.

Some people are never going to get it until you lift the diploma in

the air.

Some people are never going to get it until you win.

Then they're going to ask you, "How did you do it?"

You're going to look foolish.

You're going to look like the guy who's lost his mind to your art.

If you're going to punch through,

if you're going to have an aim and hit,

then there are going to be seasons

and chapters and moments in your life where nobody is going to understand why

you're not sleeping like everybody else.

See, when you step into agreement with a thing, when you see the possibility,

when you see what you could be, then you come into agreement with it,

and you step into the awareness that says,

"What I've done has gotten me where I am,

and if I'm going to accomplish more, and if I'm going to do more,

and see more, and become more, I must give my all to this."

I'LL LOOK MAD IF I HAVE TO.

I'LL LOOK CRAZY IF I HAVE TO.

IT IS RIGHT AT THAT POINT WHERE I SHUT THE WORLD,

and I'm going to give IT EVERYTHING I HAVE.

CALL ME CRAZY NOW.

Call me legend later.

Everybody who's ever struggled with believing that it's you.

It's always been you.

You are the first pick.

You are the only option.

And there will never be another way.

Believe that you're that valuable.

What if I told you that it's not over?

That you're not finished.

That you've got work to do.

And that destinies are hinged on the decision that you are about to make.

What if I told you that what tried to break you trained you?

What tried to delay you disciplined you.

And even the isolation that you've been navigating has sharpened you.

What if I told you THAT YOU ARE NOT LATE,

YOU ARE LOADED WITH POTENTIAL?

AVERAGE numbs your hunger while stealing your assignment.

Average brings us into prisons and pits and caves where we lose our desperation,

where we are no longer hungry for a quality of life.

We are no LONGER DESPERATE.

WE NO longer see the light at the end of the tunnel.

If you've lost that fuel, that faith, that fire,

and after everything you've been through,

it seems as though average is suffocating the hope out of you.

You did not fail and you're not finished.

Average attracts applause from people who settled.

They will clap for you, not because you are great,

but because you make them comfortable.

Your life, your endeavors, your assignment should make somebody uncomfortable.

It should interfere and interrupt the status quo.

Sometimes it's just you

and God where you got to put THE WORK IN ALONE

AND YOU'VE GOT TO TRAIN YOUR BODY

and your mind.

You've got to bring yourself to peak condition.

You got to develop your strength and increase your capacity and your endurance.

And you've got to STRETCH

AND YOU'VE GOT TO PUSH

AND YOU GOT TO PULL

and you got to leap

and you got TO RUN

AND SOMETIMES YOU WILL GROW weary

and there will be days where you don't want TO GET OUT OF BED,

WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT,

you don't have the energy to think AND NOBODY CALLS YOU,

AND NOBODY TEXTS YOU, AND NOBODY CHECKS ON YOU,

AND VERY few believe that YOU WILL EVER COME OUT OF THIS DARKNESS.

YOU WILL EVER COME OUT OF THIS HOLE.

BUT YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE.

Because it is our beliefs that determine our behavior.

If I can't change my outputs, it's because I haven't changed my inputs.

Everything that's coming in, everything that I believe, everything that I see,

will determine what I do.

If I can't do it, if I haven't done it, if it seems impossible,

and I won't even try, then something's off with my belief system.

And I just pray that after you've listened to me,

that something is sparked on the inside of you to take a deeper dive

into who you are.

Accept the reality that there will be seasons in your life where you will

need to walk alone.

Now is the time to weep and work.

You may be hurting, but work.

You may be bleeding, but build.

You may be tired, but get up.

It's time.

It's time to labor with vision

and build with conviction to give birth to something

that will still speak

when the dust has settled over your bones.

GREATNESS IS NOT LOUD AT THE BEGINNING.

Sometimes greatness is quiet,

and it would demand separation from everything that attempts to knock you off course.

There is no tomorrow.

There is no plan B.

I am completely DEVOTED TO MY LEVEL ONE PRIORITIES.

TO MANY it will SEEM AS THOUGH I'VE LOST MY MIND,

BUT IT IS RIGHT AT THAT POINT WHERE THE WORLD changers emerge.

You can hate all YOU WANT TO,

BUT I UNDERSTOOD THE WORK THAT WAS REQUIRED TO PUT IN.

I'M CONSISTENT.

I'M AMBITIOUS.

I'm flexible.

I'm adaptable.

I'M DECISIVE AND I'M DETERMINED.

Come on.

I GOT EVERYTHING I NEED TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

And I just want to ask anybody listening to me, why not you?
