Speaker 1 (00:01):
Go small with your goals.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Okay, the holidays have only just started, but people are
already thinking about their New year's goals.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
And this year it's all about going small. Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Seventy five percent of people make at least one resolution
a year, but a new survey found that respondents would
rather kick off their goals gradually than jump in head first.
Almost half of those surveyed also said they'd rather concentrate
on long term goals, with twenty seven percent saying they
wanted to focus on short term ones. So, Steve, you're

(00:33):
a motivational speaker. You motivate people all the time. What
do you think should people continue to make big resolutions
at the first of the year or should they go
small with their goals?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I disagree with that one thousand percent. I don't understand.
There's no winning in small. There's no winning in small.
I mean, look, what they're trying to say is but
everything they're saying is preparing you for failure. It's assuming
that ain't no need of you thinking big because you
ain't gonna get big. Now that right, there is a
negative connotation to me. You know, remember this aim for

(01:10):
the moon. In case you miss, you'll still be amongst
the stars. But if you aiming for the fire hydrant,
then you miss you down in the damn dirty See
that's the problem with people passing out advice to people.
I'm just against small thinking because it costs you no
more to think big than it does to think small.

(01:32):
If you say Volkswagon and Rose Royce, it don't take
no more Energy's Volkswagon is Rose Royce. Man, y'all, don't
let people convince you to take the small approach, because
then all you can ever get is small results. I'm
just not a proponent of now. What they're trying to

(01:54):
say is, don't disappoint yourself. You go to and you
don't get it.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Your expectation it's just so high.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Back to me, I just don't like you manage your expectations.
See if now, look, either you gont be a person
of faith or you ain't.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
We'll give people advice though, how to think big and
how to not be not to hold themselves back with
that type of thinking.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
If you've never okay, here's set that kind of goal
for yourself.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
You know what I mean? Well, here's here's a deal.
Here's something I learned and I taught this to myself,
it is impossible to think an impossible thought. That's not possible.
It is possible to think an impossible thought. Well, okay, okay,

(02:51):
then how did you think it? Though? If it's impossible,
how did you think it? And that's what you've got
to incorporate into your thinking. Man, it is impossible to
think about you. Tell somebody, man, I had this crazy idea. Man,
I don't see how. I know you don't see how,
but I'm telling you I saw it. And that's how.

(03:12):
Imagination is given to you. And what we don't realize
as people is that our imagination is given to us
by God. God places what he has for you in
your imagination. Albert Einstein once said, imagination is everything. It's
the preview to life's coming attractions. That's just a fact.

(03:33):
So what God does is he places the life he
has for you in your imagination. The problem we have
is we tell our imagination to the wrong people. Because
if you want to kill a big dream, tell it
to a small minded person. And all of us have
done that. God has shown us something incredible in our imagination.

(03:54):
We took it to our friends and loved ones and
they shot it down. I don't see how you gonna
do that. Well, I know you don't see it because
God didn't show it to you. He showed it to me.
And I'm gonna trust on that fact. Right there. If
I thought small, there's no way I get here today.

(04:16):
All you got to do is start thinking big. Does
a book I recommend to everybody by David Schwartz David Schultz,
The Magic of Thinking Big. Go buy that book. It's
all written off. All self help books have written off
concepts of the Bible. Anyway, a man is as he thinks.
If you think you're small, you're fit to be small.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I love it all right, Thank you. You are a
motivational speaker.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Coming up next it is the nephew with today's prank
phone call.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Any motivation for his nephew in the prank? Thanks stupid,
