Resiliency
You can write anything down if you want to. Be brave enough to write every one of your goals down, but I’m goanna tell you something. Life going to hit you in your mouth and you got to do me a huge favour.
Your why has to be greater than that knockdown.Tweet: Your why has to be greater than that knockdown
And I love it. Buster Douglas got knockdown. Nobody ever got knocked down by Mike Tyson and ever got back up.

It was almost a ten count, he was stumbling. 4, 3, 2, 1 and ding ding ding, saved by the bell. He goes to his corner, and the whole world is like “Yupe, that’s it. Once he comes back out, that’s it.” Mike is just gonna hammer him. And exactly that, Mike Tyson came out like – I got him. I got this kid up against the rope.

Listen to me, many of you right now, Life’s got you up against the rope. You can’t give up, you can’t give in. Listen to me, if it was easy everybody would do it. And if Life got you backed up, I need you to do it, what Buster Douglas did. Buster Douglas start fighting back!

And the world was shocked! Goliath has been knocked down, “what happened?” And they went to Buster Douglas, and they asked Buster Douglas simply like “what happened?” And Buster Douglas said: “Listen to me, it’s really simple. Before my mother died, she told the whole world that I was going to beat Mike Tyson. And two days before the fight, my mother died.” Buster Douglas had a decision to make. When his mother died, he can die with his mother, or he made a decision, I can wake up, and I can live for mum, and he knocked Mike Tyson out.

Simply because his why was greater than that punch. His why was greater than defeat! His why was greater than his trial and his tribulation. And I’m telling you, If you don’t know what your why is, and your why isn’t strong, you’re gonna get knocked out every single day!
