HTM On The Line with BRYANT HAWKINS SR.
Own The Assignment - (Part 3 of 4)
In this third installment of our 4-part series, B-Hawk unpacks what it truly means to own your assignment, when the hype disappears, when the weight gets real, and when your soul starts asking for what’s real. This is the episode for those carrying responsibilities no one claps for. The moments where you’re bleeding but still showing up.
Because owning the assignment isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. And some of the most powerful growth happens not when life feels easy, but when you keep showing up anyway.
This one’s for the quiet warriors. The leaders in the shadows. The ones who carry legacy over likes.

There's a moment and it comes for all of us where inspiration isn't enough, where vision boards, hype songs and even your five-year plan can't carry the weight anymore. That's the moment you have to make a decision Not to chase the assignment, not to admire it, but to own it, because you don't really own something until you've bled for it, until you've carried it when you were tired, until you've chosen it even when it stopped choosing you. Owning the assignment doesn't mean posting a quote about it. It doesn't mean you got the role or the promotion. It means you accept what comes with it the pressure, the quiet, the wait. It means, when stuff gets real, you don't ghost the responsibility. You double down on the reason why it matters, because here's the truth no one really wants to talk about.
Speaker 1:Eventually, every one of us is going to run into a moment that's bigger than your confidence and louder than your brand, a moment where the world doesn't care how successful you are, how many followers you've got, how impressive your resume looks. Life will hit you in a way that no amount of noise can fix noise can fix. And in that moment you fall to your knees, not because you're soft, but because your soul is tired of pretending, because somewhere deep inside you'll be crying out for something that's actually real. That's when the truth shows up. The money doesn't hug back the car you're driving. It can't drive you out of that kind of pain. And the attention doesn't fix what's bleeding underneath. In that moment, when everything you thought mattered doesn't, you'll look around and realize this isn't about doing more, it's about becoming more. See, this is where ownership really begins, not when it's shiny, not when it's trending, but when it's heavy, when you've got every reason to walk away, but you stay rooted because you know deep down this is yours to carry. That doesn't mean you have to carry it perfectly. It means you don't drop it just because it stopped being convenient.
Speaker 1:And if you're in that moment, right now, if you're broken, bleeding and questioning everything, I want you to hear me clearly You're not broken beyond repair, you're not failing, you're just being refined. That pressure you feel it's not punishment, it's preparation. Pressure you feel it's not punishment, it's preparation. The weight you feel today is shaping the version of you that can carry tomorrow's victory. So say it out loud right now this is my assignment and I'm going to own it, not because I have all the answers, but because I'm done, running from the parts of my life that actually matter. You don't need more applause. You need more agreement with your purpose. You don't need everyone to understand the assignment. You just need to be the one bold enough to say this is mine and I'm owning every part of it.
