One of the keys is Remember where you came from? Keep that shit in the breast of your attention and when shit runs bad and it departs sideways a lot of shit Does you’re getting booed out the fucking construct or coming through this injury or beings? Are you writing you off? Are you guys gonna fucking make it you know any of that shit? You got it. You got to keep it in here The and it really “re going to have to” It should Drive you This idea and this notion that you could be anything you want you can accomplish anything you want, right? We hear that you’ve heard that from the time we were little boys You hear that now, you’re already incredibly attained You can win an NBA championship MVP of the conference you could become president You could become governor you can have you could be in in in in You could be an entertainment you could do Charles and you do Shaq you lose that you could do what it is you want to do.You guys is a well-known fact that? The thing that has worked for me is to remember The hard times so And I’m sure you guys all have your operations. And again, I’m going to tell you what to work for me. So before A large-hearted movie comes out before back in the days when I was striving with WWE a Wrestlemania match Anything large-hearted that would happen. I would ever take a moment and I precisely prompt myself All right. I was ejected when I was 14. We were knocked off small island developing. We couldn’t live in Hawaii and no situate to live a Lot of shit happened then when I moved to Nashville I was arrested multiple times by the time I was 16 years old.I went remember that if I were playing on this unit Which might you know? my skills are what’s that term all the shit’s so I never played but before I lace up before I get on court before I toy these big games before I go to the Staples Center Where history says those are those are historic will Hall Sahara at the Staples Center I would remember that and it allows me then to be present in the moment and understand.Holy shit. That’s the stuff I have around me right now. This is this shit that I “ve been dreaming about” when I was a kid I am here. I frisked for University of Miami played huge teams Warren Sapp where Lewis there were my teammates. They were ballin Warren Sapp was playing tight resolve that time. I was starting defensive undertake. They moved him over to d-line And he looked at me. He’s like yo, do I’m gonna take your discern. I said, you ain’t taking my fuckin spot He’s I’m gonna make your spot We battled and he took my place They can imagine how that fucking with me cuz there leads my opportunity He travelled in be changed to defensive undertake lighted the world on fire Well what that did it humbled me to subdue my dreams. I had a piss-poor senior time zero yield No NFL no combining invite Nothing lastly went to the CFL Calgary Stampeders drawing $250 a few weeks Canadian Canadian I had to send that shit home To my to my spouse at that time I had no money so I remember that I got trimmed from Canada.I had 7 bucks in my pocket And I always tell that story. So now my yield busines 7 horses advertising busines 7 horses. Everything is 7 bucks I always remember that what improves me is to keep the hard times in the figurehead of my knowledge Because it allows me to go into these big-hearted Times that I’ve worked my ass off and you guys have worked your ass off It allows me to go into these large-scale minutes with a different perspective What it also does for me and again this just this is what works for me like I Keep my back apologize my language.My back is up against this motherfucker Every day it’s against this fucking wall. Excuse my language But it’s a begins this motherfucker because it’s what I believe in and when my back is against this motherfucker then there’s nowhere to go But that road that’s it So I feel like this could be something an creed mindset that could help you Could if you look at it that way Because you attained it already we constructed it We’re successful both boys and we’re lucky boys to be we’re at oh you guys saw it everyone in the office Nobody’s gonna come dislodged anymore Anything you got there’s no more coin questions, right? You got a lot of mitts out now I get a little bit Can I get a little bit right that happens? But when you make it For me I need this I need this So every day my back is up against this motherfucker and this is how I operate Now doesn’t mean don’t smile.There’s me to laugh and joke Right happy I’m happy. I’m a glad person But when it comes to business and when it comes to executing what’s up against this? And I gotta go that route And I don’t give a fuck who is in front of me. They’re not gonna stop me. I feel like for me it feels seamless Because you prepared for so long, but it’s just like you guys prepping for video games. That’s the recreation division That’s where it’s like fucking is fun and people are paying their hard-earned dollars to come see you. They’re shouting. They’re going bananas They’re booing the shit out of you or on the road. It’s that’s fun. That’s what you live for I make, that’s the liquid right there The prep is where the characters made and I exactly don’t mean the specific characteristics I dally I signify the fucking the character in here So for me the prep is getting with the head getting with the producers getting with the writers get with the coming with so in essence it’s like going with all your coach-and-fours and your different post instructs and and all the Meetings that you have to have right? So that’s the handiwork you lay in the key for me was Where does it start? What’s the fix? What’s the anchor so I could have all these desires and you guys have all these desires, which is great It’s important.I’ll play this role. You’ll play-act that character. I’ll perform this thing and it’ll come out this summer you guys will execute this thing during the summer right what it’s time to really put in a lot more work But the key with me is just always observing what the linchpin is and the fuck and fasten is Getting up at 4 o’clock in the morning everyday before anybody else and Grounding. My thought process is in the no one will outwork me No one I adore and I respect you guys Motherfuckers one that worked me I’ll start with this Two hands putting it’ll work.The linchpin for me has always been the work in terms of the weight room training So when I firstly started fighting I was six years old rolling on the mats with my dad my old person. A pile of you guys will know this Yeah, Rocky Johnson My old man was Rocky Johnson was the first black WWF tag WWWF at that time first pitch-black WWE tag team champs were Tony Atlas back in 1983 My uncle’s were wild Samoans. I come from a long line of pro wrestlers but before the wrestling side happened I was just in the gym putting in the work at six years old rolling around on the mattings and finally when I could touch Heaviness at 13. That’s what I was doing But the value place for me and the gym character Has has always been has to be the linchpin look at the end of the day like again That’s it’s the kind of stuff that I talked about at top is I have to hold on to My dad in his pickup truck came down four o’clock in the morning Pick me up at in whoo in Miami from Tampa.We lived in a little shitty apartment in Tampa He drove down in his little pickup truck to Miami to get me when I was chipped from the CFL. I was driving up I 75 I don’t know if you guys are from Florida any of you guys if you know It’s I 75 is like extremely down in Florida, Alligator Alley I’ll never forget it’s four o’clock in the morning, and I thought well fuck that. I leave home like you guys left home I’m ready to tackle the world to get after it achieve my dreams and goals fucking crushed by 22 23 years old I’m now I got to move back in with my mom and dad.I dallied on enormous crews. Oh, wait a second This is not supposed to be my future. I’m supposed to be in the NFL right now I’m supposed to be making a lot of silver and behind my mothers shit buying me shit taking care of my wife But it never happened. So I pulled in my billfold. I thought well, let me see how much money I have I opened it up. I had a 5 a 1 and convert I’m not fucking around and I Rounded up to 7 bucks But I saw God ain’t this a bitch. I went 7 horses in my pocket. Where the fuck do I going to go? What’d I do? I can’t going to go to CFL coz I are you know? The target comes where you hear that voice large-hearted leads over like you’re done, right? So I heard that voice so as coach was saying man.I hold on to that shit. I’m telling you I stop my back as Perkins’s motherfucker. We roar we joke, we have a good time Press is always fun to do sometime. You got to make it fun That’s another thing he had to do your best to realize press recreation Who as you are in a position to but my back is still up against this motherfucker I do not forget it what this also facilitates me do and again it works for me is At some level you got to be fucking tired of not being number one You have to be and you got a fucking plate angry and I dally enraged now I’m cool and appease with my approach and when I step out on my discipline, which is a adjusted or you know like There’s something you’re always gonna have haters and haters like well Yeah, soldier, how many movies you’re gonna spawn her how much shit are you gonna do like you do a lot of shit? I say yes Cuz my desire of course why not I could do it Yeah, I enjoy what I do and is not simply that but in what nature do we not work every day? It doesn’t mean it’s just like you guys in the off season.You got work every fucking day Doesn’t dissolve my back is up against this thing, you know, and I and I and I started to play Angry, by the way, and and I still I still frisk angry my last match Brock lesner Transition and I realized if I had to be great at something I wanted to be great in this world of Hollywood and movie making and producing and entertainment I had to commit and like you guys have to commit patently you commit to something commit to the goal So I softly retired two years later. I reputed what the hell is did I do in my vocation? Cuz my movies “re not” is working well I was written off I was like around 2006 2007 I was like goddamn. I left I plucked a Jim Brown I left when I was on top like number one in the wrestling the enterprises and I left it was a ballsy gutsy So I’m called it stupid move, but I had to commit and I had to follow it wasn’t my god And at that time I’ll share this with you guys and Will Smith is my boy And I sat down at that time with the agency I was with and I said, what do you want to accomplish? I said I want to accomplish the world.I want the world and I crave I demand Will Smith’s career But and I said and I represent this respectfully because I know he’s here at this age. See with us I want to do it bigger and better? and They looked at me like I had three fucking heads and they were like. Mm-hmm. Okay but I still stood focused and I still had these still throw in the hard work with my two entrusts and That’s it. And that’s what it comes down to with you guys. One of its most important is Remember where you came from? Keep that shit in the front of your intellect and when shit departs bad It goes sideways a great deal of shit Does you’re getting booed out the fucking construct or coming through this injury or people? Are you writing you off? Are you gonna fucking make it you know any of that shit? You got it. You got to keep it in here And it certainly “re going to have to” It should drive you
