(00:34):
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.
Let me help you with this right here. If you
are steady complaining about the reason you are. You know,
(00:56):
if I hadn't met this man, if I hadn't have
been involved with this one, and 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 this,
if I hadn't it at, if I had a just
finished school, if I had to hey, hey, hey, hey,
stop stop all that stuff that you're complaining about. Everything
(01:18):
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?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You done? Got past all of it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
You didn't have the baby, you got arrested, they didn't
kill you, You didn't finish school, but you're still standing.
You met that man, he gone, He involved with two
other women right now, got three other kids.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Guess what. You still here and the baby's here.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You got over all the injustices that were done to you.
You got something happened to you when you was a kid.
You're an adult now. Somebody did something to you when
you was a little boy. Guess what, 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.
(02:09):
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
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 past be your past.
(02:31):
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
is huge. The rear view mirror is this tiny thing
(02:54):
that sits up there. Now all is far. It's so
you can see stuff that's 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 can you
(03:15):
want to switch lanes, you can glance up there and
it says, okay, you're clear. Now you passed it, you
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 1 (03:28):
Man, catch fire today today.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
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. How
(03:56):
long I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Gonna ride that out?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Man?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You know I can't do nothing right now. I fell
on hard times and I lost my place to stay.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Where you staying now? See the majority of people are
staying somewhere right now.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I was out there. I didn't have nowhere to go.
I'm in a shelter. Now.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You was under the bridge a wee could go. You
in the shelter. Now, why you can still crying about
the bridge? You in the shelter?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Now? Man, You know how you find your purpose? You
get in.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
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 the.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Best chicken in the world.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
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 some years. They just found out
(05:16):
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 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
(05:38):
your gift was already given to you. You were born
with that. 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.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Where it can work.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
The problem with college is we go to college and
we attach it to what we like or what we
might be passionate about. We ignore a gift we have.
You know how many people and graduated from college ain't
doing nothing. They went to college form 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
(06:17):
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 Wreena.
Come see me live at Jokers Comedy Club. Come see
me live at Percy's. Come see me live at Elisis Tavin.
(06:39):
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 my
purpose in life. Okay, but so I can quit wasting
(07:01):
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 or
tried to settle it up with you. I've been just
doing my thing. Well. My thing has gotten me as
(07:23):
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.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Trick, y'all. This is the deal. You got to catch
fire today.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Catch fire today I am. I'm excited about today. I've
got a lot to do
Uh huh, I sure will.

to catch fire today. I want you to catch fire today.
