of people can't move forward in their life because they
complaining about their past? They always complaining, man about something?
Is that explains the reason why they are? Let me

(00:55):
complaining about the reason you are, you know, if I

involved with this woman, if I hadn't have had this baby,
if I had never went down there, if I hadn't
have got arrested, if I hadn't it this, if I

if I had to hey, hey, hey, hey, stop stop
(01:15):
all that stuff that you're complaining about. Everything that you
keep allowing to resonate with you as a reason to
justify and explain you not being successful. Can I share
something with you about all of that? Guess what it is?
You done got past all of it. You didn't have
(01:35):

didn't finish school, but you're still standing. You met that man,
he gone, He involved with two other women. Right now,
I got three other kids. Guess what, You still here
and the baby's here. You got over all the injustices
that were done to you.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You got something happened to you when you as a kid.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
You're an adult now. Somebody did something to you when
you was a Oh boy, guess what.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You're a man now.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Some things happen to you that you haven't found closure on.
The person that you're looking for closure from has moved on.
Can I tell you that everything that has happened to you?
Do you know you've gotten pasted it? So why are
you steady complaining about what has happened to you that
(02:23):
has caused you to be in this position?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But do you understand that it's prohibiting you from moving forward?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Stop complaining today, catch fire, Let your pass be your past.
I've told this to you one hundred times on this radio,
but I'm gonna say it again. Bishop Jakes told me
something man that helped me so greatly. You can't drive
your car if you gonna keep looking in the rear
view mirror. That's why the windshield is huge. The windshield
(02:52):
is huge. The rear view mirror is this tiny thing
that sits up there. Now all is far. It's so
you can see stuff that's coming.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Up on you.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
All the realview mirror for is so you can assure yourself, Oh,
listen to this. The rearview mirror is imp there to
assure you that you've cleared something. See. That's what the
rearview mirrors for. So when you pass the can you
want to switch lanes, you can glance up there and
it says, okay, you're clear. Now you passed it, you
(03:23):
can switch lanes. That's all the rearview mirrors for. It
ain't for you to stare at and dictate your life
with what you're tripping for.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Man, catch fire today today.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Man, quit complaining about everything that did happened to you.
Life is ten percent. What happens to you is ninety percent.
What you do about what happens to you. What are
you going to do about it? So what I got
all this? Look, man, your story ain't no deeper than
nobody else's. I can tell you I was homeless for
three years. It's people been homeless for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
How long I'm gonna ride that out?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Man?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You know I can't do nothing right now. I fell
on hard times and I lost my place to stay.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Where you staying now? See the majority of people are
staying somewhere right now. I was out there. I didn't
have nowhere to go. I'm in a shelter now. You
was under the bridge a week ago. You int shelter.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Now? Why you still crying about the bridge? You in
a shelter now? Man.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You know how you find your purpose? You get in
touch with who created you. Because when God made you,
he had a purpose in mind. Now we've ignored it
and we haven't tapped into it. But we all had
a purpose. You don't, and it's sometimes it takes people
longing to discover the purpose. Colonel Sanders was frying chicken
(04:51):
with a recipe that he was telling people was the
best chicken in the world. Ain't nobody believe him till
he turned seventy? Why you think the dude, that's only
Kentucky fried chicken signs is old. That dude ain't twenty
up there he oh he oh, But you know what,
(05:11):
he had been frying that chicken for forty some years.
They just found out about it when he was seventy.
But he didn't give up his purpose in life. This
dude was just frying chicken. See, people keep looking for
their gifts in all kinds of places when it's right
there in you. You ain't got to go to school
(05:32):
to find your gift. You're born with the gift that
God got for you. You'll go to school to tack
it on to something else, But your gift was already
given to you.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
You were born with that. You don't have to go
to college to know your gift.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Your college allows you to enhance it and to find
something to attach it to, and hopefully you get a
degree that attaches your gift to a vehicle where.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It can work.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
The problem with college is we go to college and
we attach it to what we like, what we might
be passionate about, if we ignore the gift we have.
You know how many people and graduating from college ain't
doing nothing they went to college for. Come on, man.
You know why, because you discover in life your gift.
You discover what you was born to do. I wasn't
bought you know what I mean? You know what my
major was in college? It was advertising. I can't be
(06:19):
at no death, drawing, no picture for nobody. But now
guess what I can wake up every day and guess
what I can tell you. I advertise. I've been advertising
my career. Come see me live. Come see me live
at Madison Square, guard Come see me live at Phillips Aerena.
Come see me live at Jokers Comedy Club. Come see
me live at Percy's. Come see me live at elisis Tabit.
(06:41):
Come see me live. I've been advertising the whole time,
but I had a different purpose in mind because I
went and I talked to God. And this is how
you do it. You go talk to God and say,
hey God, look, okay, this is the deal. I've been
struggling here. I'm over forty. I still haven't found a
purpose in life. Okay, but so I can quit wasting
(07:03):
any more time. Would you help direct me and guide
me to my purpose. I know you created me to
do something. I just haven't found what it is and
the reason I haven't found what it is because I've
been doing things my way. I ain't been checking with your,
conferring with you on anything. I ain't locked in. I
tried to settle it up with you. I've been just
doing my thing. Well, my thing has gotten me as
(07:25):
far as it can get me. How about you take
over and do your thing now? Can you direct me
in my path? I'm an open book. Treat me like
a piece of clay. I'm telling you, man, if you
go to God, he'll give it to you. But see
you have not because you ask not. How many times
have you asked God for it? This ain't no magic trick, y'all.
(07:49):
This is the deal. You got to catch fire today.
Catch fire today, I am. I'm excited about today. I've
got a lot to do.
