I was about to commit suicide but I happen to watch this video it kept me alive~~~~~Wow I happen to return and see all the love and support God bless you all ET I love you man it’s 8-14-2020 thank god im still here going stronger then ever

Man, I listen to Eric every morning but today I’m crying, just got my LLC, got my first business loan, one day sober again, new vegetarian diet about to ride my bike and put in 1000% . It’s only UP FROM HERE 💯I thank God for this message 🤧🙏🏾

From the first day i watched this 5 years ago to now, this is still one of the most powerful videos I’ve ever seen 👌🏾🙏🏾

I wish this man could yell at me like this for like 3 minutes a day I swear I’ll be successful

"I had no business eating out of trash cans" it speaks to me because I don't have any business accepting mediocrity in my life

I got this as my alarm in the morning. I can snooze through some of it, but when he turns up, I can't sleep anymore. I HAVE to get up.

“Stop just waking up like an accident, WHAT DO YOU WANT??!” Why you gotta be this real man??😭😭🙌👑

We desperately need him to speak to our youth.

I showed this to my goldfish it's now a shark...

You have changed so many lives of people watching you from youtube alone

That “Glenn, you didn’t do what you said you was gonna do” has me in STITCHES every time I hear it😂

Started my own security company. 💪💪💪💪💪

"stop waking up like an accident" u got me there XD

Often i come back to this video when i move away from my dream.

When you binge on ET for a few hrs and realize all of power is within yourself (with Gods strength) and I’m done with not making my life great!!

I am a former addict, homeless drunk half my life woke up one day decided ive had enough. Now i work a fulltime good union job, have 2 part jobs that bring in steady income, and my own business, and a few properties, no debts and great credit and sober 15+ years now. I am middle class and i feel rich, i feel ive only just begun. Some weeks i work up to 18 hrs a day 7 days a week not because i have to or need to but because i am willing to do anything to reach my goals and nothing is going to stop me. If i can do it anybody can, believe me on that.

"You NEED to STOP pointing fingers at other people and you need to start pointing the fingers at yourself and ask yourself, 'what did you NOT do ' "

8 years ago, as a senior high school football player, this video was everything to me. To the person reading this now. No matter the outcome of whatever situation you're in. Rest well knowing you gave it all you had. I'm proud of you.

Six years after seeing it for the first time, I still get chills.

_"Stop just waking up like an accident"_ _"There's no excuse for not living up to your fullest potential"_ _"Become a victor, not a victim"_ _"You let YOU down"_ _"You owe YOUR SELF"_

"I'm not going to cry about it, I'm still going to be a millionaire!"

This one really hit home 7 years ago at age 27…now its 7 years later and I’m graduating with a M.S. in Computer Science this May from a top university. Success in your life is what you decide it to be. Always remember, don’t let who you were yesterday or even today determine who you can be tomorrow. Love yourself, be grateful for the people in your life, and stay hungry, stay foolish. Thank you E.T. ❤

Dr. Eric Thomas helped me change my life. It's because of his inspiration that I completed my independent insurance adjuster state license test successfully on my 5TH tries, after 4 consecutive fails. Now, I am a licensed IIA, and nearly a year after first stumbling across the Dr, I have been self-employed in my own right and making more money per month than I ever did in my life. Thank you, Dr. Eric Thomas, for helping me improve my life and the lives of those most important to me.

Been diabetic for 4 years. He is pushing me to get it together. I gotta live for my babies

I'm a rapper in my late 30s, and now I'm a software engineer learning more and also going to school for my Associates in Science in Engineering and Autocad. I was a homeless rapper and single father just a couple years ago. No joke, sleeping in my car with my son. Makes me tear up thinking about it, I still have a long road to go on. Now i own a home with my beautiful girl, soon to be wife and my son is doing the best he's ever done. Never quit or give up on yourself

I'm forcing myself to watch this 10 times a day to force my brain to stop being lazy and get after it. And I'm replacing all TV and unhealthy habits such as watching rubbish on YT with motivational videos. I unfollowed and blocked toxic people and accounts on social media and started following Motivational accounts and football training. I am planning to wake up at 5 AM every day. Yesterday I was weak. But FROM THIS DAY FORWARD all I know is WINNING

"No I don't play golf and I don't plan on playing no time soon" XD Love this dude.

Went from brushing my teeth to brushing my teeth and flossing after hearing this

“U CAN’T MAKE ME WANT WHAT I DON’T WANT”. ONE OF MY FAVORITES🔥🔥🔥

ET doesn’t know it but he was my single biggest motivator getting through High School & College. I’d play “How Bad Do You Want It” every single morning & the podcast after that. I didn’t have many people talking about believing in myself & how to be a better man so ima always have love for ET for that 💯🤞🏾

Watching ET at 6.30 am ready to start my grind and fight towards my goals!

This is my coffee Everyday :)

Who’s watching in November 2019? Love love love ET❤️

My man was on his Element, probably watched this 100+ times i still get chills

“Stop waking up like an accident” New life motto

When you get to the point that you're listening to Dr. Eric Thomas, you know that you're lethal.

I'm African American but I'm still going to be a millionaire

Stop waking up like u are an accident lol this guy is insanely GREAT

Powerful.

Once you are honest with yourself, the truth reveals itself

Pre COVID-19 I would listen to this basically daily on my way to the gym. Truly got me in the greatest shape of my life and I know that I have so much more in the tank. God bless you man

Hello Eric, I am from Kenya . ' stop waking up like an accident ' this is one statement that woke me up. Today I look at myself and I love where I'm headed. Thanks so much

That's probably the most valuable video I have seen on youtube my entire life.

"It's probably goning to be racism till the day I die, but I'm still gonna be a millionare; I'm still going to be one of the top motivational speakers in the world" PREACH!!!

“Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire” ~ Unknown ~

I'm not sure when I came across this, but I've shown this at the beginning of the year for my sixth graders for years. This is a big transition year for them and it speaks to all the things they need to be thinking about right now in their lives!

"Stop waking up like an accident" damn

1:47 winners win, losers lose. Its that simple.

"So what my father wasn't in my life, he ain't enver come into my life, ain't gona wait for him to come, imma be successful" That hit me hard...

That "you owe you an explanation" really hit me. First, it forces you to place value on your life, and then it holds you accountable for waisting it.

Am I the only one who always cries watching his videos? :'1 It's so powerful...

a man on fire. ive watched probably over a hundred of your videos E and I've never seen you that fired up, that was incredible

There's no excuse for not living to ur fullest potential I felt that

This is one of the best short speeches I've ever heard, I went from being in the homeless system to becoming a railway designer. This speech is exactly the way to do it. Cheers Eric 👍

This has motivated me so much. I'm never going to lose.

Eric Thomas - you were put on this earth for a reason, and you're where you should be! You're helping people. Your compassion, your commitment, your dedication is so obvious. And you help yourself, you can see it. You not only motivate others, you motivate yourself.

My higher power lead me to this man. I'm learning how to go get what I want because this man inspired me to reach out grab what it is I want in this life. Today I'm 25 days clean. I graduate the 28 impatient treatment in 3 days. And I am going to continue with my recovery on to a sober living house. "I can,. I will, and I must." After 20 years of suffering from the active disease of addiction, I'm finally doing something about because I got up and did something about it. I wanted to be clean and sober more than I wanted to breathe, more than sleep. E.T. my brother you have inspired me to reach beyond my wildest dreams.... Limitless is new goal. Because I can, I will, and I must get up and change this vicious cycle of the disease of addiction. Because I believe I'll be able to help somebody that's walked in my shoes one day because I've been inspired by Eric Thomas. Thank you my brother.

I watched this...and started tearing up! I'm a paid speaker....and ET moves me.

I'm ready to Win every day. Me first. Self love

"What changed: I changed, stopped being a victim!" "Stopped saying I'm gonna wait for good things to happen, doin' everything in MY power." "Can't keep creating a culture of losing." Hits home for me. I have family in New Zealand 😇 I am full of passion. You all can be too. Teach yourself

Watched this video 2 years ago....I didn't get to where I needed to be, whose fault is that? ME! You know what? That changes, starting now! I WILL WIN!!

My favorite, no sugar, no sweet... Straight octane!

I met this dude in Brooklyn in a clothings Store He change my life.

ET: Beast Mode,120 %, No excuses, Grind mindset. Ok bro i'm ready to change my Life 🙏

White boy from the D here. What he speaks is the truth no matter your race. We all had to come up or fall off. FACTS. Don't be a statistic. Make your life yours. So so true

Sometimes you just need to be yelled at🖤✊🏾

"You need to start pointing fingers at yourself. What did you not do?"

Every time I'm feeling down I look at this video and check myself. Last time I looked at it I went into a job truck driving as a solo. The first time I looked at it I FIRST GOT MY CDL. Now I'm looking at it again. And I'll say, homeless now but I'm about to come alive. No more excuses again! 3'rd times the charm. This my 3'rd time viewing this video.

Yes I owe myself big time. Your energy is so contagious. Remain tremendously blessed

Listening to this video everyday has helped me graduate college and today I just passed the general knowledge test for the cdl!

I am a 23 year old white male from America. I grew up in a two parent household in upper middle class and finished college in December of 2014. I have literally everything on my side and yet I still have no motivation and no drive to accomplish things. I am obese, drink too much, gambrel often, don't have goals and don't push myself at work. I have been watching your video every morning at 6:30am and then working out. I had given up and ET has made it possible for me to realize I OWE MYSELF! I have so much potential and I have to guide it and direct it and I couldn't find my way before this video. Thank you ET, you inspired me to not only keep fighting but to grind and impact the world someday. #YouOweYou

"Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment

Absolutely 🔥

“No I didn’t grow up on that side of the town. No my mamma don’t have no network. No I don’t know a whole lot of people. No I’m not at a country club. No I don’t play golf and I don’t plan on playing no time soon. But I’m still gonna be successful. I’m still gonna get to where they are... WHY? Because I owe it to myself. And can’t nobody stop me but ME.”

I have found why RU-vid was created!!!

The first video I had seen from Mr. Thomas was in 2017 and I had to prepare for the final exam to enter the university, and Mr. Thomas's speech inspired me, and I chose Mr. Thomas's role model, and according to his words, I slept earlier at night and I woke up at 3am in the morning and studied, and today I study in the university I wanted and next year I will graduate from the Faculty of Anesthesia, and this is all thanks to your Speeches . thank you

I never understood how people could dislike these kind of videos. I failed with what I really wanted to do over and over but honestly ET is a huge reason why I keep trying to succeed and refuse to quit.

ET - I discovered this video years ago and it has been a major tool in my path to becoming a better human. I struggle still but looking back, I have come a long way. Things I have discovered or came to terms with over the last two years.. 1- I was diagnosed bipolar 2- I can't drink alcohol like a normal person and should avoid it 3- I have a gambling addiction 4- I have no excuse for my obesity Things I did 1- got off my ass and went and got a job utilizing my college education. I have now moved to another company which was a pay raise, a better title, a large company, and room for promotion. 2- gotten the proper medication for my add/bipolar disorder. This has changed my life and it took a lot of soul searching to admit I had defects and deficiencies.. I'm glad I overcame pride and fixed this 3- told myself "not right now, no alcohol with the boys... you owe you" and I've stepped away from situations that I couldn't handle like a man... I owe it to myself 4- while at my job I found the woman of my dreams and fell in love.. we have been dating for over 1.5 years now and we now live together. She also is a mother of two beautiful young girls who I now also have fallen in love with and formed a very special bond.. this has motivated me more than anything else in my life. 5- learned to gamble responsibly and in moderation. No more losing my money, I'm in the business of making money. I only periodically go and I set firm budget when I do. This is my hardest thing to tackle and something I still fight off daily and seek your video for additional support. 6- I got off my ass and stopped eating like a pig. I went from 295lbs to 255lbs and it is in the process of going down even more.. This video helps me when I struggle and also helped me reflect at how far I have come. I have done a good job but will never quit and will continue to improve. I genuinely owe you my life. Thank you for this video and helping me get passionate about my life ET. Thank you from the bottom of my heart #YouOweYou #ET

This man's words and wisdom holds more weight than any wannabe black activist of today. He's lived through the struggle and faced adversity on so many levels. He didn't make excuses or chose to remain a victim to the injustices of the world. He is indeed living proof that life can deal you a shifty hand, but how you play that hand is the difference between success and failure.

What did I not do? Switch the script. I owe myself to be ALL of who God called me to be. Nothing is an accident. Thanks E.T!

WORD!!!!!!! THIS TALK IS 100% REAL Y'all. i came to bangkok 4 years ago with a one way ticket only and 700 bucks in my pocket with no certainty of getting paid next month. This i made way way more money and crushed goals i had 3 years back. even at a time of the pandemic. If there's no open door in front of you, make the door. stop making excuses. be a victor and not a victim, i say this to myself too everyday. Thanks man.

ET you have helped me so much. I failed my nursing exam 6 times; I’m the last one of my graduating class that hasn’t gotten my RN license. I went through a rough few years, but by watching your videos, you have inspired and motivated me to rise and grind until I reach my goal of having that RN behind my name. So, thank you. You’ve helped me in more ways than you’ll ever know.

This man radiates soo much energy. He could me saying the most mundane things and i would still get hyped.

I'm not doing enough to get noticed right now! So I need to give 300 percent. God will show me the path that I need to be on, and my calling is Adam The Warrior for Christ!!!! By any means necessary!!!!! Thanks ET! I see you!!!

Regardless of skin color....grit breaks generational curses. GRIT AND A GOOD WORK ETHIC CHANGES LIVES. AMERICA SEEMS TO BE GOING BACKWARDS...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! TREAT THE JANITOR LIKE YOU DO THE CEO!

6:45 should be the motto of all African American people real talk.👏🏿👏🏿✊🏿

that philosophy of "you owe yourself an explanation for where your at" has been more influential in my life then anything I learned at school & it's like a 7 min video lol thanks for the content as always! You help me to shine brighter when I'm unable

This video was much needed . I dedicated 21 days to myself . No social media. No nothing but being focused. Within those 21 days i purchased my LLC for my business 💜thanks ET

I owe everything to myself I owe myself to live the life in which I visioned. Thanhk you et, for continue to feed the internal systems of humanity. This video is 4 years old, but it is a recent upload every time I listen and internalized this passion from E. Love you Eric Thomas.

"There's no excuse to not live up to your fullest potential, no excuse !!" Best quote in the World

1st year college i got an E in Chemistry. I was gutted and realised things needed to change. 2nd year came. I watched this video every day when I woke up at 4am. I worked hard. At the end of the year, results day came. Overall I got a B (Year 1 Resits in addition to Year 2)! From an E to a B in 1 year is the biggest achievement I have ever gotten. Winners win, losers lose. Yes 100%. Thank you ET for inspiring me. As for anyone reading this comment, never give up

This man can easily raise the dead with this kind of heavy motivation.

I've procrastinated forever. Now I'm standing up. 🕯️✨💫Been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, in and out of hospitals twelve times in two years. Lost both parents and younger brother. I've a spiritual calling and I've just finished my initiation process. 💖 I want out of mediocrity!!! ✨💫✨💫 I'm too gifted to be sitting in a government office. I'm coming back! I'm going to live my life like it's revenge.

I'm going to start watching this every morning before my workout.

i watched this like 1000 times...still amazing speech...

When you said “no I didn’t grow up on that side of town” I felt that hard man. Thank you for sharing.

I agree with this man 💯 Alot changed in my life when I decided to changed my habits. I am a Winner !

"Be a victor not a victim"
