you know how it is if you didn't go what you've gone through you wouldn't be who
you are today and I'm not belittling your pain and don't worry I've seen pain
in my life and I've seen not only in my life but people's lives and people say
well at least I have no arms no legs and then what am I supposed to say well at
least I'm not an African orphan who's dying at four years old and I met that
person what about the 10 year old girl that was bought for 700 US dollars in
Mumbai and kidnapped as a sex slave to have 350 clients before the age of 13
pregnant and 12 put the baby under the bed while she works on top abandoned by
a family after she pays her debt of 7 hundred US dollars after three years
with her child she leaves on the streets of Mumbai hoping for a new life no
family no job no food her baby needs food she gets *** beating up on the
street she comes back to the only way that she knows how to make money she
goes back to the brothels she gets pregnant at 15 the second time and then
that child dies and then 20 years old she comes out to me yes I have met this
woman she comes up crying she says Nick I just found out I've got ***/aids
and I got fired from being a ***
what do you say to that you may have arms and legs but unless you know three
things number one who are you what your value is number two what is your purpose
here in life and number three what is your destiny when you're done here if
you don't know the answers of any of those three questions you're more
disabled than I the first thing I want you to take away from today is this you
will have good days and you'll have bad days but you will always learn something
more or something new and you will learn more overall on bad days than good days
you will learn more about yourself you'll learn more about relationships
you'll learn about life and principles and you will build your character if
you're a person who wants let's say improve on your character of patience
let's say don't complain when you're waiting in a line you ain't going to
grow in patience until you're put in a place to wait it's like you go into a
gym and you know you're walking through the front doors and you know you tell
your wife or your husband I'm going to the gym you go into the gym and you come
in three feet and you do a u-turn and you're right out I went to the gym ain't
gonna do nothing you gotta go with and what are you gonna do you're gonna pick
up the weights and you exercise the muscles that you want to build and stand
before you without arms and legs but a very strong man because of the bad days
of my life
