Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today, I want to remind everybody of something that gets
overlooked from time to time. But if you want to
be successful and you want to be happy, if your
happiness is sometimes as it often is, tied to your success,
and if your success, oftentimes as it is, is tied
(00:23):
to your happiness, the two kind of go hand in
hand almost. But now you have to be using your
definition of success and not somebody else's. If you're using
someone else's definition of success, you're never going to be happy,
whether they've aimed too high for you or they've aimed
(00:44):
too low for you. If you're using somebody else's aim,
you're never going to be happy because those two are,
I'm sorry, tied together. I'm happy if I'm successful. I'm
not successful, I'm not going to be happy because I'm
going to feel like there's something else I could be
(01:06):
doing for my family, as something else I could be
doing for my future. It's something else I could be
doing to make it work. And so my success is
tied to my happiness, and my happiness is tied to
my success. Now do I take times off from all
of it and just sit around and be grateful and
happy for where I am of course, all the time.
(01:28):
Gratitude is a huge part of the principles of success.
That's oftentimes to overlooked. Yeah, I often sit around and
just smell the roses, just take a breath of fresh
air and go mad. I'm awful grateful for where I
am God, not meaning that I don't want more, but
I oftentimes stop and thank Him for right where I am,
because where we are is pretty good compared to where
(01:52):
we were. But now, with all that said, let me
share something with you. If you want to be happy
and successful, are going to have to put out a
massive effort. Period. Stop thinking it's going to happen any
other way. You have got to put out a massive effort.
(02:14):
You gotta get at it. You gotta grind, you gotta
want it. It's got to burn a little bit on
the inside of you. It's gotta make you uncomfortable not
being where you want to be. You got to have
a I'm gonna get it attitude in order for it
to get God. Period. You gotta have a I'm gonna
get it attitude in order for it to get God. Period.
(02:38):
That's the deal. No substitutions, no alternatives. This ain't sugar.
You can't use splendor instead. This ain't sugar. This is life.
You have to go get it now. All no alternatives,
Well you can pick some alternatives, but you're not gonna
be happy and successful. You got to get a little
(02:59):
bit of dog you. I'm sorry. Everybody got to have
some dog in you. You gotta have some bite back,
you gotta have some fight. You're gonna have to have
a little bit of kick, and sometimes the kick has
to come from yourself. You kind of quit looking for
other people. Always give you that little kick in the
rear to get you started, that little jump started in
the morning, to encourage you. What if they need encouraging
(03:21):
What if they ain't get they jump start for the
day and you waiting on they call and their encouraging word. Man,
let me tell you something. These are people that you're
waiting on to help you. People fail all the time.
Every person needs the Lord God Almighty. So that might
be one of the mornings where they need him and
they don't have nothing for you. Take your faith out
of man, put your faith in God and get at it.
(03:44):
You and God can make it. That'd be great if
you had a friend along the way, of course, it
would be but sometimes you're in a pattern where you
got to learn that it ain't nobody but you and him.
Sometimes sometimes you just need to know it ain't nobody
but you and God. That really ain't a bad place
to be. It really ain't. I've got some of my
(04:06):
best results out of my life when I just asked
God for the help, when I didn't call nobody else
to see what they thought about it. When I've went
to God, just God, I've gotten my best results. I'm
just gonna be honest with you. But you got to
get at it though. Quit expecting God to just bless
you with something and you ain't giving him nothing to
(04:28):
put his finger on the touch you make one step,
he'll make two. You got to be a producer out here.
You got to go out of here and get out something.
Quit asking God for a job and you ain't putting
no applications in. Stop wasting his time and yours too.
It's like the story. The man said, you know, I've
been praying, I've been praying to God to hit the lottery.
(04:49):
I just been praying to the Lord to hit the lottery.
One day the man just kept hearing him say that.
He said, well, do you play the lottery. He said, no,
what kind of prayers that you praying to God to
hit the but you're not playing the lottery? What that
don't make no sense. If you want God to touch
your life, give him something to touch. An effort put
(05:11):
in a request be sincere. But I've decided that I'm
gonna attempt so many things that's within my gift and
in my realm that I'm gonna ask God to bless
me with his grace. He got something to bless. He
just keeps on making stuff happen for me. He just
keeps on opening doors for me. He just keeps on
(05:33):
putting the right people in front of me. Oh and
it may look like the deal ain't gonna happen, as
oftentimes many of them do. But at the end of
the day, it always works out. But man, you got
to get at it, y'all. You got to get off
your butts and get at it. Ain't nobody finna walk
no checks up to you and hand them to you.
You got to get out here and get at it.
Dreams ain't nothing but dreams. Until you put some work
(05:56):
behind them, they become goals. You gotta put some work
behind these dreams. That's my clothes remarks today, drop it
dropple to MiCT. That's how you do it before we
are here too, but having with your Toyo Chicks boy
gone a hold on time. For all Steve Harvey contests,
