“Life is full of influences; It’s your application that sets you apart. That’s something I wrote to myself and completely believe in. You can’t be scared to set out to do something in life because you believe it may be similar to something, or because you don’t know the clear cut path on how you’re going to accomplish your goal or dream! Just take a step towards your belief daily - fearlessly, wholeheartedly, digging and dreaming within yourself, believing that as you push on through sacrifice, you will one day stand alone on top of a hill that you created that now encourages and inspires others to chase their dream. Knowing that through tenacity and patience anything can be achieved.” — Charkes “Mask” Lewis

In a child's mind, I think, just being known means you're great. - Charles Mask Lewis

Charles "Mask" Lewis on being remembered after death

Inspiring words from Charles "Mask" Lewis, the late founder of Tapout. Words taken from a trailer from director Bobby Razak's movie "Mask":

Touching people is the one way to live long after you live. To affect, to touch, to make someone believe, to help them believe that they're capable of it. To succeed in touching and in moving someone and affecting their lives, if you do that for people...Trust me, you'll live long after you've died.

Charles "Mask" Lewis on one idea influencing millions

The late and great Charles "Mask" Lewis continues to live on through his magnificently inspirational and motivational words. He encouraged everyone to follow their dreams and believe in them with deep conviction. I truly believe that Mask's words will keep his spirit alive in the world as they inspire people across the globe. It sort reminds me of one of the lines the legendary rapper Tupac Shakur said before passing away:  "I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world."

The words and actions that people do can plant seeds for future generations. And one of the things Charles "Mask" Lewis dreamt about was trying to spread his positivity to the entire planet. He thought big, but didn't think big in a selfish way. He was thinking about inspiring and motivating others to dream big so that everyone benefitted and the world became a much more positive space full of happy dreamers and believers. And felt was adamant that anyone could do this with just one idea:

It just takes one idea, one, to change the course of your history, you kids history, and influence many a millions of others. Just one. But you got to go up there in that one little part that you're thinking that's just so crazy, it only sounds crazy because nobody else is thinking about it. That's your special gift. You got to get up in that. Whatever it is.

Charles "Mask" Lewis on how he'd like to be remembered

Bruce Lee  said "The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering." It's something that Bruce Lee certainly achieved because 40 years after his death it's as if he has never left at all. People are inspired by his words, actions, and the philosophies he expounded are embedded in some way shape or form in millions across the globe.

The late, great Charles "Mask" Lewis, is also a member of the mixed martial arts community whose words remain very powerful after his passing. He was a very inspirational and motivational man who had a very loving and encouragement vibration which he emanated on a constant basis. The one thing that a lot of people felt about "Mask" was that he was very real. And that's a very important statement about what "real" is. "Real" is being your most positive and best self. By being real he was able to encourage people across the planet and continue to do so today. In the end he achieved what he wanted out of his life:

Hopefully, at the end of the day, it would be said that I encouraged people to encourage.
Encouraged you to believe in yourself way past where you believed you could go.
