Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are, last break of the day.
It's been a crazy day as usual of the time.
We like right, and here's our fearless leader to take
us home with closing remarks today, I just want to
pose the question because I try to find different ways
to motivate people as as I ask God to help

(00:24):
me find new ways. Today I just decided to try this.
I just want to ask you a series of questions
because I'm just trying to get everybody to get to
moving towards their dreams. I'm just trying to get everybody
to get started on the pathway of accomplishing your visions
and your goals and your dreams. It's going to take

(00:44):
some action, though. You know, you can't just want something.
Have you ever people say if you want something bad enough,
it'll happen. That's not true. That's so not true. Do
you know how many times you've actually wanted something really
bad and didn't get it? What? Who? I don't know

(01:04):
who said that? Why they tell people that if you
want something bad enough, it'll really happen. It can happen, No,
it won't. It requires an action. Faith without works is dead.
If you don't do anything, you can't stop expecting to
get everything. If you don't do anything, you can stop
expecting to get everything. Now, God is going to give

(01:25):
all of us some grace in spite of our shortcomings
and lack of effort. He will give all of us
some grace and we'll all get some things that we
really don't deserve. You know. It just provides us breaks.
But in those breaks, He's trying to sustain you, just
to get you to say, Wow, Man, if I had
just done a little bit more, what could I have had?

(01:46):
Or if I had done a little bit more, what
could have happened? So my question today for you, it's
just I'm asking you a series of very very simple questions,
maybe four or five. You're waiting for? What? Tell me
what is it you're waiting for? Because oftentimes when I
talk to people, I get some responses that just throw

(02:06):
me off, you know, because what you're waiting for? What
what is it going to take to get you started?
What is the motivation? What is the button? What is
the trigger that fires you to get going to moving
towards your dreams and visions? You're waiting for what? I

(02:28):
don't understand. Are you perfectly comfortable where you are right now?
Have you decided and settled in that this is it
for me? Have you gotten tired of waking up and
asking the question while it's got to be more to
my life than this? What? Have you just gotten tired
of that and you don't want to deal with it

(02:49):
no more? So you just decided what that? You're just
gonna lock in like where I am. It's cool, you're
all right with that. Let me ask you another question.
Have all the ducks ever lined up in a row?
Because if that's what you're waiting for, let me just
ask you, has it ever been set that while I

(03:13):
see exactly step by step, I'm gonna get down, gonna
get that everything is perfect, I'm gonna start now. If
you're waiting on the perfect time to start, you may
never start it because there is no such a thing
as the perfect time. The perfect time is now. That's
the perfect time. If you're waiting on something else to happen,

(03:34):
it probably ain't gonna happen because you gotta figure like this,
Suppose it don't happen, what you're gonna do then, so
you just got to come to that conclusion. Suppose it
don't happen, What you're gonna do. Then suppose you don't
get to degree what you're gonna do, then you're gonna fail.
Suppose you don't get that job that you got your
eyes on. So you don't get that job, So now
what you unemployed the rest of your life because you

(03:59):
didn't meet that headline? You can't make another one. You're
waiting for? What? What's it gonna take to get your started?
Have your ducks ever all lined up in a row?
The answer is no. The perfect time to start is now.
Let me ask you this question. Does it appear to
be getting any closer even though you're not moving towards Oh?

(04:26):
Does it appear to be getting any closer even though
you're not moving towards it? The answer is no, it's
not getting closer because you're not walking towards anything. If
you don't walk towards something, please stop expecting it to

(04:46):
get closer. It will not happen. Success is not a
magic trick. It's a series of steps that people take
over and over and over and over, and in spite
of what happens, they take those steps. Anyway, Does it
appear to be getting closer even though you're not moving

(05:07):
towards it. It's probably not. But could that be why
you're not getting what you want because you ain't moving
towards nothing? Last question, Could it be that you just
don't want anything more? Maybe that's it. Maybe you don't

(05:28):
quit wanting a new car. Maybe you don't quit wanting
a bigger house. Maybe you don't quit wanting that second home.
Maybe you quit wanting to open up a business. Is
it that you just don't want anymore? Just answering to
me he's questions. Now, let me tell all of y'allself.
Put God in your life and it can change all

(05:49):
of this. You can go to God and ask God
to strengthen you. You can go to God right now
and ask God to give you the desires of your heart,
but enable you with the character to make him come true.
Ask God to strengthen your character. Ask him to strengthen
your wheel, Ask him to strengthen your stick tuitiveness. Ask

(06:12):
God for his help, because God is going to make
your dream come true. Business. Those are my closing remarks
to day, Drop it Baby, drop it outstand, Yes, yes
