EVERYBODY DIES, BUT NOT EVERYBODY LIVES - Prince Ea
It is not death most people are afraid
of.
It is getting to the end of life, only to
realize that you never truly lived.
NEVER TRULY LIVED
There was a study done, a hospital study
on 100 elderly people facing death close to their last breath. They were asked
to reflect about their life’s biggest regret.
BIGGEST REGRET
Nearly all of them said they regretted not
the things they did but the things they didn’t do.
DIDN’T DO
The risks they never took, the dreams they
didn’t pursue.
DIDN’T PURSUE
I ask you would your last words be; if
only I had – hey, you wake up.
HEY YOU
Why do you exist? Life is not meant to
simply work, wait for the weekend and pay rent. No, no I don’t know much. But I
know this every person on this earth has a gift.
GIFT
And I apologized to the black community
but I can no longer pretend Martin Luther King.
MARTIN LUTHER
KING
That man never had a dream, that dream had
him.
PEOPLE DON’T CHOOSE
DREAMS
DREAMS CHOOSE
THEM
See people don’t choose dreams, dreams
choose them. So the question I’m getting to is, do you have the courage to grab
the dream that picked you?
COURAGE
That befit you and grips you; or will you
let it get away and slip through?
You know I learned a fact about airplanes
the other day. This was – this was so surprising to see, I was talking to a
pilot and he told me that many of his passengers think planes are dangerous to
fly in. But he said actually, it is a lot more dangerous for a plane to stay on
the ground. I say what? Like how does that sound what he said, he said because
on the ground. The plane starts to rust.
RUST
MALFUNCTION
WEAR
Malfunction and wear, much faster than it
ever would if it was in the air. As I walked away I thought, yeah, makes total
sense because planes were built to live in the skies. And every person was built
to live out the dream they have inside. So it is perhaps the saddest loss to
live a life on the ground without ever taking off.
TAKING OFF
See most of us are afraid of the thief,
they comes in the night to steal all of our things. But there is a thief in your
mind who is after your dreams. His name is doubt.
DOUBT
If you see him call the cops and keep him
away from the kids because he is wanted for murder. So he has killed more dreams
than failure ever did. He wears many disguises and like a virus will leave you
blinded, divided and turn you into a kinda.
BLINDED
DIVIDED
“KINDA”
See kinda is lethal. You know what kinda
is? There is a lot of kinda people, you kinda want a career change, you kinda
want to get straight A’s, you kinda want to get in shape. Simple math, no
numbers to crunch. If you kinda want something, then you will kinda get the
results you want.
What is your dream? What ignites that
spark. You can’t kinda want that, you got to want it with every part of your
whole heart. Will you struggle? Yeah, yeah… you will struggle, no way around it.
You will fall many times, but who’s counting? Just remember, there’s no such
thing as a smooth mountain.
SMOOTH MOUNTAIN
If you want to make it to the top then,
there are sharp ridges that have to be stepped over. There will be times you get
stressed and things you get depressed over. But let me tell you something.
Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school three times, three times but he
kept going.
KEPT GOING
The television execs fired Oprah said she
was unfit for TV but she kept going. Critics told Beyoncé that she couldn’t sing
she went through depression. But she kept going.
KEPT GOING
STRUGGLE &
CRITICISM
Struggle and criticisms are prerequisites
for greatness. That is the law of this universe and no one escapes it. Because
pain is life but you can choose what type? Either the pain on the road to
success or the pain of being haunted with regret.
REGRET
You want my advice. Don’t think
twice.
DON’T THINK TWICE
We have been given a gift that we call
life.
LIFE
So don’t blow it. You’re not defined by
your past instead you were born anew in each moment. So own it
now.
SO OWN IT NOW
Sometimes you’ve got to leap. And grow
your wings on the way down. You better get the shot off before the clock runs
out because there is ain’t no over time in life, no do over. And I know what
sound like I’m preaching on speaking with force but if you don’t use your gift
then you sell not only yourself, but the whole world.
Short.
SHORT
So what invention that you have buried in
your mind? What idea?
IDEA
CURE
SKILL
What cure? What skill did you have inside
to bring out to this universe?
UNI = ONE
VERSE = SONG
Uni meaning one, verse meaning song, you
have a part to play in this song.
ONE SONG
So grab that microphone and be brave. Sing
your heart out on life’s stage. You cannot go back and make a brand new
beginning. But you can start now and make a brand new
ending.
A BRAND NEW
ENDING
