Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day. It's been a great day. It's been a
fun day. Hump day. Yeah, yeah again. Our condolences go
out to DiAngelo's family. Yes, what a loss. He will
be missed in the music industry for sure. I don't

(00:21):
know anyone who didn't love DiAngelo's music.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Hey, in closing, you know we were talking earlier. Junior
proposed a question to me about procrastination and the role
that it plays in a person's life, and I just
wanted to warn everybody against procrastination. Be very careful out there,
folks of putting off tomorrow what you can do today.

(00:53):
Be very careful of that, Be very conscious of the
gift of now. Be very appreciative of the gift called
the present because they call it the present, because it
is a gift to exist in the present. The past
belongs to history, The future belongs to God, not you.

(01:17):
So when you put off today, you throw it into tomorrow.
You throw it in into something that you have no
idea of what's going on. See right now, you have
a conscious idea of what's going on. So when you
have the opportunity to do something, do it in the

(01:38):
moment that you have the control over, which is now.
When you put something off and cast it into tomorrow,
do you know that tomorrow comes with a whole new
set of challenges, a whole new set of what else?
Do you know that tomorrow can completely reshape your day,
your thinking, your life. Do you know that you could

(02:00):
receive some tragic news tomorrow? Do you know that it
can all turn around for you tomorrow? Do you know
the stuff that can be added on your life tomorrow?
What tomorrow don't need is today's problems. So address them today,

(02:20):
get it done today. What you do today can affect
your tomorrow. If you've put another building block on your
letter of success, if you put another wrong on your
letter of success, if you put another brick on your
wall of your future. When tomorrow gets here, it'll be

(02:42):
that much stronger, that much sturdier. But if you keep
delaying the building of the wall, the building of the structure,
the building of your dreams, when do you think those
dreams are going to come true? Because guess what, Tomorrow
just may get here. And if it gets here, and
if you've made no preparation for it, or done nothing
to secure it, or or participate in it. Wow, procrastination.

(03:08):
The other danger of procrastination is its habit for me.
I think you all know a person like that too.
Think about it in your circle of people that you've
ever known. Don't you know somebody that always puts something off,
but can't you look at their life and it explains everything,
don't it. Most people I know that practice procrastination they

(03:35):
lacking in a lot of areas of their life because
it's habit for me. Get in the habit of getting
it done now. Get in the habit of being proactive.
Get in the habit of making steps. Get in the
habit of understanding that inch by inch anythings is cinch.

(03:57):
Get in the habit of producing something then today for
your tomorrow. Don't put off today into tomorrow, because tomorrow
is gonna come with a whole other set of circumstances.
You may not get this opportunity to do what you
had a chance to do today because of the circumstances
of tomorrow. You gotta stop procrastinating, y'all. You gotta start

(04:20):
building that future. You gotta start building that life. You
gotta start putting them building blocks together for your dreams.
Everybody wants to be happy, and everybody wants to be successful,
but you gotta do something towards it. You make one step,
he'll make two. Faith is the belief in things that
you cannot see. You ain't got to see how it's
gonna turn out. You got to keep putting one foot

(04:43):
in front of the other and then ask God to
auder your steps. See if you ask God to audo
your steps, knowing how the outcome, it takes that away
from you because now you've done the simple thing. If
you're doing you're doing what God wants you to do.
Ask him the audio steps? And when has God ever

(05:04):
led you wrong? That's the crazy part about asking God
to auder your steps? When has God ever led you
down the wrong path? But you know how many times
you have though, You know how many times we have
picked the wrong way to go. Had we just asked God,
God would have told us don't do that. But since

(05:29):
we don't ask, we just go. And then we got
to undiscovered ourselves because God gave us the power of choice.
Choose not to procrastinate, Choose to get it done today,
Choose to ask God to audio steps, choose the right way.

(05:50):
I was doing the podcast recently. One of my partners
asked me to say, love, why you always picked the
hard road? Man? You always go to hard way? Why
you always pick the hard road? You know what I
told my partner, I said, what makes you think I
see two roads? That's just the way to go. That's

(06:12):
the way to it. In order to get to it,
you gotta go through it. There is no other way
for me. And I ask God to order my steps
and I get to step in. Y'all do the same.
Have yourself a great day. Stop procrastinating, y'all, do something
for your future tomorrow. And lastly, but not have all
the last thing I want to say, talk to God
to do with absolute.
