Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are, last break of the day.
It's been a crazy day as usual, the time we
like right absolutely, and here's our fearless leader to take
us home. With closing remarks today.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I just want to pose a question because I try
to find different ways to motivate people as I ask
God to help me find new ways. Today I just
decided to try this. I just want to ask you
a series of questions because I'm just trying to get
everybody to get to moving towards their dreams. I'm just
(00:36):
trying to get everybody to get started on the pathway
of accomplishing your visions and your goals and your dreams.
It's going to take some action, though. You know, you
can't just want something. Have you ever heard people say
if you want something bad enough, it'll happen. That's not true.
That's so not true. Do you know how many times
(00:59):
you've actually wanted something really bad and didn't get it.
I don't know who said that. Why they tell people
that if you want something bad enough, it'll really happen.
It can happen, No, it won't. It requires an action.
Faith without works is dead. If you don't do anything,
(01:19):
you can't stop expecting to get everything. If you don't
do anything, you can stop expecting to get everything. Now,
God is going to give all of us some grace
in spite of our shortcomings and lack of effort. He
will give all of us some grace and we'll all
get some things that we really don't deserve. You know.
(01:40):
It just provides us breaks. But in those breaks, He's
trying to sustain you, just to get you to say, wow, man,
if I had just done a little bit more of
what could I have had, or if I had done
a little bit more of what could have happened. So
my question today for you is just I'm asking you
a series of very very simple questions, maybe for you're
(02:01):
waiting for? What? Tell me what is it you're waiting for?
Because oftentimes when I talk to people, I get some
responses that just throw me off, you know, because you're
waiting for what. What is it going to take to
get you started? What is the motivation? What is the button?
(02:24):
What is the trigger that fires you to get going
to move in towards your dreams and visions? You're waiting
for what? I don't understand. Are you perfectly comfortable where
you are right now? Have you decided and settled in
that this is it for me? Have you gotten tired
(02:46):
of waking up and asking the question, Wow, it's got
to be more to my life than this.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
What?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Have you just gotten tired of that and you don't
want to deal with it no more? So you just
decided what that? You're just gonna lock in like where
I am? It's cool? You all right with that? Let
me ask you another question. Have all the ducks ever
lined up in a row? Because if that's what you're
(03:12):
waiting for, let me just ask you, has it ever
been set there? While I see how exactly? Step by step,
I'm gonna get down and get that everything is perfect.
I'm gonna start now. If you're waiting on the perfect
time to start, you may never start because there is
no such a thing as the perfect time. The perfect
(03:35):
time is now. That's the perfect time. If you're waiting
on something else to happen, it probably ain't gonna happen
because you gotta figure like this, Suppose it don't happen
what you're gonna do, then she just gotta come to
that conclusion. Suppose it don't happen what you're gonna do,
then Suppose you don't get the degree what you're gonna do,
then you're gonna fail. Suppose you don't get that job
(03:59):
that you got your eyes, So you don't get that job,
So now what you unemployed the rest of your life
because you didn't meet that deadline. You can't make another one.
You're waiting for. What what's it gonna take to get
your started? Have your ducks ever all lined up in
(04:20):
a row? The answer is no. The perfect time to
start is now. Let me ask you this question. Does
it appear to be getting any closer even though you're
not moving towards it?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh? Does it appear to be getting any closer even
though you're not moving towards it? The answer is no,
it's not getting closer because you're not walking towards anything.
If you don't walk towards something, please stop expecting it
(04:56):
to get closer. It will not happen. Success is not
a magic trick. It's a series of steps that people
take over and over and over and over, and in
spite of what happens, they take those steps. Anyway, does
it appear to be getting closer even though you're not
(05:17):
moving towards it? It's probably not. But could that be
why you're not getting what you want because you ain't
moving towards nothing? Last question, Could it be that you
just don't want anything more? Maybe that's it. Maybe you
(05:39):
don't quit wanting a new car. Maybe you don't quit
wanting a bigger house. Maybe you don't quit wanting that
second home. Maybe you quit wanting to open up a business.
Is it that you just don't want anymore? Just answer
to these questions. Now, let me tell you all of
y'all something but God in your life, and it can
(06:00):
change all it is. You can go to God and
ask God to strengthen you. You can go to God
right now and ask God to give you the desires
of your heart, but enable you with the character to
make them come true. Ask God to strengthen your character.
Ask him to strengthen your will, Ask him to strengthen
(06:23):
your sticktuitiveness. Ask God for his help, because God is
going to make your dream come true.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Business.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
