Emotions why is he playing this way why Is he talking the way he does the game With Netherlands goes in front of Van Gogh and Van Gogh says hey you guys Cannot win with penalties we're going to Beat Argentina with penalties and Messi's the first to kick the goal to Score it in the penalty shots while Brazil when they lost Neymar went to go Last because he was already out of the Game but Messi was in the game he scores The first and then he goes in front of Bengali standing like this everybody's Saying why is Messi doing this in front Of Bengal and if you look at Van Gogh He's looking this way Isaac van God Doesn't remember but Van Gogh is also Driven by enemies this was a Representation of a player 20 years Prior to that name rickelme that van Gogh God who was a mentor type of a guy To Messi whom Van Gogh publicly Humiliated and it's Messi's way up Saying I remember boom and then he wins He proved Maradona wrong he proved Everybody wrong and he proved himself in His country right by now being the Greatest of all time but maybe Maradona Was right and he's driving him who knows The point is he had to find a real enemy Deep down inside to win the prize you Want to be the greatest of all time Which is messy now argument is over with Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia signed a
Half the billion dollar contract and He's doing what he's doing and Messi Imagine being worth 600 million dollars You have every single record possible Pretty much you have all these Trophies The only thing you're missing is one Freaking somebody may say stupid trophy Who cares about this but he needed that To become the greatest of all time he Had to tap into a real enemy to produce The Jews to go after this because the Pain the leadership the unification of a Team required to achieve this is so Above what you really think it is the Only thing you can do is you need to Find a real enemy that's going to Produce those emotions for you so now Let's talk about you who are your Enemies let me give you a few different Types of enemies and you make a decision Who drives you and who motivates you one Form of an enemy is an ex an ex who left You for another man an ex who left you For another woman an ex who didn't work Out an ex who did something to you Betrayed you hurt you it's their way of Saying I believe there's better men out There than you I believe there's better Women out there than you because if she Didn't believe that why would she do What she did hello that is one form of An enemy you think you have an enemy That's one by the way this doesn't mean You color and you text you tell her what
