If you feel like the obstacles in between you and your greatness are too big to overcome, listen up.

YOU Are Your Greatest Asset | Eric Thomas

Eric “ET” Thomas reveals the brutal truth he learned living homeless in Detroit: your greatest enemy isn’t the world against you, it’s you against yourself. He shares the moment he looked in the mirror and apologized to himself for the choices that led him to abandoned buildings and survival mode, and how that single act of taking ownership changed everything. This isn’t about positive thinking or motivation. It’s about taking back the keys to your life and refusing to give anyone else power over your future. Whether you’re stuck in a good life that feels empty or drowning in circumstances you didn’t choose, ET shows you how to stop blaming and start building the life you were meant to live. The path forward starts the moment you realize you are your greatest asset, and everything you need is already inside you.

Some Questions I Ask:

  • What was the moment you switched your mindset that allowed you to take different actions to start creating your own opportunities?
  • What do you say to some of the younger generation that feels like they’re a failure if they don’t accomplish things by 20 or 25 that they feel like they’re supposed to accomplish?
  • Do people need to think about motivation in order to overcome themselves and their problems and their challenges, or do they need to think about being more disciplined to overcome the weight of the world they’re feeling?
  • How important is it for everyone to have mentors in their life?
  • Where do you think you’d be without a spiritual relationship with God in your life over the last 30 plus years?
  • What do you feel like God is speaking to you now or your future self is saying to you now?
