Speaker 1 (00:00):
I wanted to say this to you enclosing. The right
time is now. That's the subject. The right time is now.
What are you waiting for? Do you know how many
people never start the pursuit of their dreams and the

(00:24):
pursuit of their happiness because they keep waiting on the
right time. Well, I have news for you. The right
time is now. If you're waiting on all the ducks
to get lined up in the row, if you're waiting
all the stars to align themselves, if you're waiting on
the tide to come in, if you're waiting on the

(00:45):
right set of circumstances, if you're waiting on everybody to
say the right thing, if you're trying to get confirmation
from all the people in your circle, you're never gonna
start gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
If you're waiting until.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
The time is perfect, you're not gonna get there. The
perfect time is now. See now starts the process. Every
time you delay the start of the process, you move
back another opportunity. Because the opportunity is in front of

(01:23):
you is today and is now. A big part of
people not succeeding, though, is not only do they want
the timing to be right and the right time to
everything to be lined up. But they also want to
know the way all the way to the end. That's
not how this works. If you make one step, he'll
make two, But you first have to make a step.

(01:45):
You gotta do something. Some of these steps are time consuming.
You don't just take a step and then another step
and they come right back to back to back. You're
gonna have challenges and setbacks and delays along the way,
but you got to keep making steps. You're gonna fall
along the way, but you gotta get back up and
gotta keep making steps. You're gonna get it wrong sometimes,

(02:06):
but you gotta get back up and keep making steps.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
You're gonna go off in the wrong direction.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Sometimes, but you gotta turn around, come back, retract your
steps and get on the right path. But the time
to do it is now. As long as you delaying it, man,
all you're doing is blowing it. You're blowing it because
once once the devil realizes and seize the way to

(02:33):
get you to procrastinate, he gonna present it in all
types of angles for you he gonna make. He gonna
put it in all shapes and forms. If it just
takes that to throw you off course to keep it
from starting. He'll keep presenting that opportunity, and he'll repackage
it over and over and over and over, because his
one job is to make sure that you never accomplish

(02:55):
what God created you to be. That's his job is
to rob you of your destiny. Y'all, stop doing it
to yourselves. You got to start, You got to go
for it. The time is now. Stop waiting on it
to line up. It's not going to line up. It
doesn't line up like that. That's not how it works.
Making the decision to be successful is hard because it's

(03:18):
gonna require you to do some things that take you
out of your comfort zone.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
But that's where your success is. Success is outside of
the comfort zone.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
If you stay in your comfort zone, I'm telling you,
that's where you're going to fail. Keep being comfortable, you
gonna fail right there. Keep making sure that everything feel
good to you. You're gonna fail right there. Keep on
making sure you don't stress yourself out, and you don't
put yourself in You don't take no chance, and you
don't put yourself under no undue pressure. Make sure you

(03:51):
don't take no unnecessary risk. Keep on, You're gonna fail
right there. Stop doing that to yourself. Stop going back
to the thing that you always comfortable with. Most people
can't move forward because they keep going back to where
they was comfortable. I know people, man, that's talking about
moving forward with their life, but they can't move forward
their life because they keep going backwards.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm gonna move.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Back over here. I could afford this one over here.
I'm gonna move over here. I could afford that over there.
Go somewhere that's uncomfortable. Gone over there. Yeah, it costs
more out there, but go over there. Yes, it's gonna
put you on a little bit of stress over there,
but gone over there, you might find out you can

(04:35):
handle it. You might find out that you got enough
to be able to.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Man, see now you're pushing me now, because now I
gotta tell you something. God don't take you know where.
He don't equip you to be. He just don't do
that to you. But a lot of great things is
calling you. But you think you not equipped. God don't
take you know where, He don't equip you to be.
Let go, man, Let go of your past so you

(05:02):
can go get your future. Quit moving back over here,
because I know that people over here because it's comfortable.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Over there is more affordable over there. Affordable.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, keep on because I'm telling you right now, it
costs no matter.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Where you go.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
It costs to move forward, and it costs to move backwards.
I'd rather pay the cost to moving forward than to
keep paying the cost of moving backwards.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Because to move backwards. Guess what it costs.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
You now everything you've earned up until this point, and
you can't keep getting it back.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Y'all.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Stop waiting on the right time. Stop expecting your ducks
to line up in the row. The right time is now.
What are you waiting for. You can't build a future
dabbling in your past.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Stop it.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Have faith, move forward, talk to God about it, put
it in God, and good. Oh we'll see y'all tomorrow.
Y'all have a Google. Okay, hey, look, talk to God.
He love to hear from you.
