Imagine how successful you could become if you were unstoppable. If you become unstoppable in sports, you'll be unbeatable. If you become unstoppable in business, you'll be rich. If you become unstoppable in school, you'll graduate summa cum laude.
Being "unstoppable" means that no matter what bad things happen to
you--you bounce back. You persist. You never give up.
Did you ever tell someone your hopes and dreams and they laughed at
you? Maybe when you told them about a future success, they said,
"You'll never do that." They might have said, "You'll never
graduate" or "You'll never make the team" or "You're not good
enough."
When you heard their words you felt humiliated. But deep inside
you, there was a little voice that responded. When they said, "You
can't do it" this little voice said, "Watch me!"
The five words that will motivate you to become unstoppable are:
"I'm going to show you."
Story #1. She was a senior in high school and her dream was to
become an actor. She auditioned for the senior play hoping to get
the lead. She didn't get any role at all. Then she said, "I'm going
to show you." They're all watching her now because her name is
Sissy Spacek.
Story #2. He was so unpopular in high school that most of the other
students didn't even know who he was. He said, "I'm going to show
you." They're all listening to him now because his name is Bruce
Springsteen.
Story #3. At the graduation ceremony of a small high school in
Tennessee, right after the students got their diplomas, they went
to the microphone and told the audience their plans for the future.
A boy said he was going to work on his dad's farm. Applause. A girl
said that she was going to attend the local community college.
Applause. Another girl said that she was going to Nashville to
become a country music star. Her parents applauded, but most of the
others laughed. Every time she felt like quitting, she remembered
that taunting laughter and said, "I'm going to show you." They're
all applauding her now because her name is Dolly Parton.
