You’re stronger than you think you are.

I brought a message for somebody
who's been going through the fire. And wondered in their own mind
how long? Why are things like they are? Some of you have been through enough stress
that you should have lost Your mind. Don't think it's strange when things
happen to you. Because the truth of the matter is
every man, every woman Every boy, every girl
will go through a time Where your faith
must Stand
trial. If we can just stand
for every trial There's going to be a glory. And if you just stand
I know it's hard on you But if you just stand
even up under this pressure you're going through If you just stand
when you get to the right place You're gonna look back over your shoulder
and you're gonna see A miracle. You will never know that you have faith
until you're in a good fight. Real faith
is proven in the furnace of affliction. In the time of adversity. You're stronger than you think you are. You're tougher than you think you are. You can go through more than you think you
can. Be strong
and very courageous. You got to have inner strength
for this fight. It's not your outer strength
it's not by might Nor by power
but by my spirit. So you gotta have that gut strength. That belly strength. That devil-defying. Come hell or high water strength. That tenacity to take a licking
and keep on ticking. That inner strength. That when I can't do as I would
I'm gonna do as I can
But I'm not gonna stop doing
to the best of my ability. You've just got to grit your teeth
calm your resolve And say, devil come hell
or high water I'm coming out of this. It may not look like I'm coming out
it may not sound like I'm coming out My situation may not reflect that I'm coming
out But I'm coming out of this. Once you start questioning yourself
you already lost. Even if you don't believe, believe. I gotta believe in me
before anybody else believes in me. If you're gonna be successful in this game
you gotta have a dog within you You gotta know it's a dog fight
and you gotta go get that fight. Life ain't gonna be easy
ain't nobody gonna hand you nothing. And so by being committed to everything that
I started I finished it. It built a certain type of spirit. It built a certain type of mentality. And so now
I couldn't quit even if I wanted to. I couldn't stop even if I want to. I had too much sweat equity
in my life And everything that I was doing. I don't know how
I don't know when But I do know
that before it's over I'm coming out of this. There may have to be a sequel
this can't be the end of the movie I have got to come out of this. This may be a commercial
but it's not over. Expect me to come back. Expect me to come back. I don't know how
I don't know when I don't know where
I don't know what I have to go through But expect me to come back. I might look bad today
but expect me to come back. I may be crying right now
but expect me to come back.
I may be broke, busted and disgusted
but expect me to come back.
