The Keys

by D.J. Khaled

And the key to more success is that the work never ends. I’m just going to be real with you about that. Success and prosperity don’t come fast.

Now, I know that sometimes at the beginning or when the bag is low you have to chase money to survive. This is a time that will truly test your character. You might even have to take a hiatus from your goals to get the bag up and get your finances right, but you have to keep fighting if you want to keep your dreams alive.

You hear me saying “Stay away from ‘they’ ” all the time, but who are “they”? I’ll tell you: “They” are the enemy. “They” want to keep the keys hidden and block you from the pathway of more success, and “they” want to see you fail.

Stay woke. Constantly remind yourself and speak out loud on the things that you want in life. Picture yourself having everything. It might be a boat, or a plane, or a platinum plaque or a bestselling book or even egg whites, turkey sausage, and a glass of water for breakfast. You deserve all of these things as long as you work hard.

Special cloth. What does that mean? It means that you’re special edition. You’re one of one. Like they broke the mold after you. Matter fact, there wasn’t even a mold, because you’re a masterpiece. It means that when people compare you to everyone else, it doesn’t make any sense.
