Here's what I learned today: "Let not your heart be troubled" - He wouldn't bring you to it, if He wasn't going to get you through it. 1) Do What You Can: Stop making excuses. 2) When You Can: The window of opportunity opens and closes. 3) As Often As You Can: Use what is in your hands. Thanks ET, this is one of my favourite TGIM's =)
I've been doing bad at school. I've been studying everyday. I just failed my math test. ET, you have no clue how much I needed this. Thank you. I'm bouncing back.
I feel you are my Brother! The truth inspires and hurts all at the same time. Thanks for shaking me up and inspiring me to keep moving forward. Cheers, Robert
ET youre an inspiration to me , keep up the videos cause its refreshing to see a person so motivating , adjusting my life now so these videos are a blessing - from a fan from london
E.T. I never comment on here and ive watched just about all your vids on here...This one touch me today DAWG!! Thank you for time ...and the time you take out to do this.. Peace
WO! This so applies to my situation RIGHT NOW. I am sensetive to criticism. Who isn't? ADJUSTMENTS! Yeah, great way of looking at it. Be pro active not stubborn. I love this guy.
thanks ET, today I really needed to listen to this video. I have tons of motivation but working so hard all the time in training I just crack as the pressure gets to much... Thanks for pushing me :)

Eric Thomas is unbelievable, sincerely. i read the first few pages of "The Secret to Success" and now i understand that when he says what he says, he has a right because of everything he's gone through to where he is now. Thank you God for this man.
I love ET to death. Dude teaches me something new every monday. Honestly im doing better but i want to know why everytime i watch a tgim it seems to be made exactly for me like once i get over one hump its something else. I really need to talk to you ET. Your biggest fan/FAM JU JU
ET you remind me of my football coach, he would tell us,"it's mind over matter if you don't mind it don't matter," he started as a gym teacher got his masters and now is the principal, he is currently on his Phd
5:20-5:40 Great Advice, a much softer message than you normally have for our fans, but you aren't being Honest here. You have been Honest at other times "if it was Easy everyone would do it", "you cannot Cheat Success", "when I said go '120', you thought I just meant at Work, I mean Everywhere" . But you aren't being Honest here 5:20-5:40. You are, the overwhelming majority of the time, effectively asking people, urging people, to effectively go on the Biggest Loser, even to Win the Biggest Loser. This "Biggest Loser" Analogy, ironically, perfectly encapsulates just how unreasonable your Expectations (sometimes) are. If you were Consistently encouraging people to start small, and then to gradually get more ambitious "walk to the next block", as you have done in just two of the dozens of TGIM videos I have now watched, there wouldn't even be a need to type this comment. But, the Overwhelming majority of the time, Your Expectations are Sky High, not always unreasonable, but Sky High for sure, and I don't think there is any dancing around that "the Only way to get to it is through it". Your Expectations are High, and, at the end of the Day, most people will Never meet these Expectations. Even an Ethiopian immigrant who I had the privilege of meeting recently, a Hard Working immigrant who now owns his own home in the United States, conceded that "it isn't Easy to make it in America". The Expectations are High, and people who fail to meet these Expectations should still be able to go see a Doctor when they get Sick, should still be able to afford a 1 Bedroom Apartment after they have worked 40+ hours every week (most of the Working Poor put in far more than 'just' 40 hours though these days). Yes, There should still be Accountability; if you spend most of your free time, all of your free time, at the Mall, chatting on the Phone, Partying, watching TV and Movies, etc. etc. then you are probably going to have to Settle elsewhere in your life, whether it is settling for StayCations as oppossed to taking actual Vacations, Driving an Older Car instead of a Newer Car, or maybe even taking the Bus instead of owning a Car at all. But to (effectively) say to the person who spent too much time Partying and Socializing, often in their Younger Years, that they Now cannot go see a Doctor when they are Sick, is completely inhumane, but that is how things work in the United States.
dude, there are psychiatrists out there that make you pay out the ass, just so they can make you cry... Thank you Et.. you actually help ppl.. haha you motivate with every breath you can. No money comin in on this, just you are doin out of your heart man. That's awesome! keep helping everyone, Im out to go look for a job now haha.
E.T YOU MADE ME BELIEVE IN MYSELF AGAIN MAN!!! ALL GOTTA SAY IS THANK YOU! RIGHT NOW IM TAKING THINGS ONE DAY AT A TIME MAN, I GOT A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO....BUT IT'S GOOD. AGAIN THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU MAN! BY ESEM237 " I CAN DO ALL THING'S THROUGH JESUS CHRIST...WHO STRENGTHENS ME. " --- PHILIPPIANS 4:13 ---
ET is right. I started doing this 2 years ago. People always ask me how I do what I do. Learn how to use what you have. It's called being resourceful.
Here's what I learned today:
"Let not your heart be troubled" - He wouldn't bring you to it, if He wasn't going to get you through it.
1) Do What You Can: Stop making excuses.
2) When You Can: The window of opportunity opens and closes.
3) As Often As You Can: Use what is in your hands.
Thanks ET, this is one of my favourite TGIM's =)
You cannot pay this guy to care the way he does...that's real talk! Keep inspiring ET!
I've been doing bad at school. I've been studying everyday. I just failed my math test. ET, you have no clue how much I needed this. Thank you. I'm bouncing back.
