2016 is almost closing....Its Monday Morning December 12. My week is off to a very rough start but I'm keeping my head up. Leaving everything in God's hand and understanding that everything happens for a reason.
I had to turn to my man Eric Thomas this morning to keep me motivated. Eric Thomas releases a Thank God Its Monday episode on his Youtube channel every Monday. Today's episode "Pressure Makes Perfect" was about being overlooked and using that matter to motivate yourself to be better. (negative to a positive) Eric Thomas uses the example of New England Patriots QB Tom Brady being overlooked by every team when he was being drafted back in 2000. Brady was pick #199 in the 6th round! He is now arguably the best quarterback in NFL History. With his last win against the Los Angeles Rams Tom Brady became the most winning quarterback ever! No other quarterback in the history of the NFL has won more football games than Tom Brady! An amazing accomplishment in itself but who would of thought a 6th round draft pick would of accomplished that goal. Tom put the pressure on himself to prove everybody wrong! And, he has.
I like to share that being overlooked and "underrated" is motivation in any situation. People are always going to look down on you and say your aren't good enough for this and that. I take it from my own personal story. I'm someone that has a speech impediment that is striving to become a host. There isn't anymore striving for this young King. I put the pressure on myself to move out to California and do what I said I would do despite the odds. I can say that I am a host. I am on the red carpets. I do host and co-host shows. I am speaking with successful people and learning from their stories. And i'm dong all of this with my speech impediment. So, whenever someone passes up on you for an opportunity or telling you that you aren't good enough....just smile and say you missed out on a BIG deal. Put that pressure on yourself and put in the WORK to prove them wrong!
