you stop complaining and you do something. Do you know
why a lot of people can't move forward in their
life because they complaining about their past. They always complaining, man,
about something that explains the reason why they are.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Let me help you with this right here.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
If you are steady complaining about the reason you are,
you know, if I hadn't met this man, if I

(03:18):
that you keep allowing to resonate with you as a
reason to justify and explain you not being successful. Can

and the baby's here. You got over all the injustices
that were done to you. You got something happened to

(03:56):
Somebody did something to you when you was a little boy.
Guess what you a man now? 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

(04:17):
steady complaining about what has happened to you that has
caused you to be in this position? But do you
understand that it's prohibiting you from moving forward? 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

(04:37):
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 is huge.
The rear view mirror is this tiny thing that sits
up there.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Now all is far. It's so you can see stuff that's.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Coming up on you. All the rearview mirror for is
so you can assure yourself. Oh, listen to this. The
realview 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 car you want to switch lanes,
you can glance up there and it says, okay, you're clear.

(05:20):
Now you passed it.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
You can switch lanes. That's all the rearview mirrors for.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
It ain't for you to stare at and dictate your
life with what you're tripping for.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Man, catch fire today today.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
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 1 (05:56):
How long I'm gonna ride that out?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Man?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
You know I can't could do nothing right now. I
fell on hard times and I lost my place to stay.
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.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Now.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
You was under the bridge a week ago. You into shelter.
Now why you can still crying about the bridge? You
in the shelter now? Man, You know how you find
your purpose?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
You get in.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
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
be longing to discover the purpose. Colonel Sanders was frying
chicken with a recipe that he was telling people was

(06:52):
the best chicken in the world. Ain't nobody believe him
till he turned seventy. Why you think the dude that's
on the Kentucky Fried Chicken signs is old. That dude
ain't twenty up there he oh, he oh, But you
know what, he had been frying that chicken for forty

(07:14):
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.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
You ain't got to go to school to find your gift.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
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 1 (07:40):
You were born with that.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
You don't have to go to college to know your gift.
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 1 (07:52):
It can work.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
The problem with college is we go to college and
we attach it to what we like or what we
might be passionate about, if we ignore the gift we have.
You know how many people and graduated 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

(08:18):
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.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I advertise. I've been advertising my career. Come see me live.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Come see me live at Madison Square, guard Come see
me live at Phillips Winga. Come see me live at
Jokers Comedy Club. Come see me live at Percy's. Come
see me live at Elisis Tavin. 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

(08:49):
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 my purpose in life.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
But so I can quit.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Wasting 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
what you, 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

(09:23):
as far as it can get me. How about your
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

(09:46):
magic trick, y'all. This is the deal.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
You got to catch fire today.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Catch fire today, I am. I'm excited about today. I've
got a lot to do.
