Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hey, listen, I got some closing remarks to encourage people,
and I want to say it this way to everybody.
Listen to me. Be determined, Get determined, Stay determined. Make

(00:38):
it up in your mind to be determined. Don't let
nothing stop you. Be determined. Put it in your head.
Make the decision that this is what I'm going to do,
this is what I'm going to be, and I'm going

(01:00):
to see it through. Be determined. Too many people give
up too fast. Too many people here to bump in
the road and let that bump turn into a mountain.
Too many people see the detour a time. Too many
people see the detoo a signed and say, well, I
guess it wasn't meant to be. It's not true. It's

(01:25):
the process. You have to be determined. Things are going
to go wrong along the way. That's a fact. You
will not become successful in this world easily. That's going

(01:47):
to be factors. Something is going to happen. The saying
is life is ten percent what happens to you. It's
ninety percent of what you do about it. The ninety
is how you react to it. Be determined. You have

(02:09):
got to become doggish. I was having a conversation in
Missouri with the man outside of a restaurant. I was
waiting on the car to come around. Real big white guy,
huge man. He had to be about six seven, big dude.
Man had a solid white mustache, cowboy hat and a

(02:33):
down vest on and real country dude from mister Harvey.
Pleasure to meet you, sir. He said, why are you
looking at me like that? Because I'm thinking the whole time.
And I said, because, man, you remind me of Bonanza.
Tada was talking to Hoss Cat right. This dude was big,

(02:57):
and he said, can I ask you a question? Did
you grow up Pentecostal? And I It was just like
out of nowhere. He said, did you grow up Pentecostal?
And I said, yeah, my mother was a Sunday school teacher.
We grew up in the Apostolic church. He said, Church
of God in Christ. I said yeah. He said, I

(03:18):
knew it. I knew it. I said, how'd you know that, sir?
He said, because that thing you did in that comedy show,
that thing, that introduction of Christ. He said. Let me
tell you something. I'm a minister, and that this conversation
that happened just he said, I'm a minister, he said,

(03:39):
and after I saw that thing, I started looking you
up and following you. He said, in young man, you
got a heck of a story. He said, you know what,
you had to be one determined fella to get to
where you are after all that. And I said, yeah, man,

(04:02):
I was determined. He said, what you attributed to I said,
my mama, I said, because my mama taught me about faith.
She taught me about prayers, she taught me about believing.
She taught me so many scriptures that told me that
it was gonna be all right, that he would prosper me,
that he would make my enemies my footstool. She taught

(04:22):
me so many things, all them scriptures coming back, that
he would prepare as a table in the presence of
dying enemies. She taught me so many things, man, And
he was just sitting there. He said, I just won't
shake your hand and he went off. And that's why
I did the closing remark that I'm doing today. Be determined, y'all.

(04:48):
Do you know that you're going to have an incredible
story to tell? But you got to but you got
to hang around and let the chapters get written. Stop
giving up, man, This is just a chapter story. Ain't over.
That's the cold thing about your story. It's gonna have

(05:08):
some wins and losses in your book. Your book gonna
have wins and losses. Now. To tell you the truth,
I've had way more losses than I have wins. But
that ain't what they they write about me. They write
about the wins. They say Michael Jordan has took nine

(05:30):
hundred and forty six game winning shots. They say he's
made one hundred and forty six, one hundred and forty
six of them, something like that. He missed most of
the game winning shots he took, but you know the
ones they right about, the ones he made because he
was determined. Because they he made them at the right times,
in the right game, at the right moment. Some of

(05:50):
your losses don't really matter because the timing ain't gonna
really have an effect on you. But if you don't
take the shot. You can't make this shot. You got
to be determin man. I'm determined. Be determined, everybody, and
tell your story because it's gonna be one heck of

(06:10):
a story when it's over, and you're gonna look back
like the old people say, my soul looks back in
wonder how I got over, because I know mine. Those
are my closing remarks today. Hey, listen, y'all, do yourself
a huge favor of today. Talk to God today because
he would absolutely love to hear from him. And it

(06:32):
don't matter if you ain't talked to him in a while.
That's a good thing about God. He'll let you start
with him today.
