want to phrase it another way, I want you to
catch on fire today. But I need you to catch
fire today. I need today to be today that 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
(00:45):
about something? Is 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,
if I hadn't have met this man, if I hadn't
have been involved with this woman, if I hadn't have
had this baby, if I had to never went down there,
if I hadn't got arrested, if I hadn't it this,
(01:06):
if I hadn't it if I had to just finish school,
if I hadn't a hey, hey, hey, stop stop 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
(01:26):
with you about all of that? Guess what it is?
You didn't got past all of it. You didn't had
the baby, you got arrested, they didn't kill you, You
didn't finish school, but you 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
(01:47):
and the baby's here. 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, you were a man, and now some things
happened 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 past 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 pass be your pass.
(02:31):
I've told us to you a hundred times on this radio,
but I'm gonna say it again. Bishop Jake's told me
something man, that helped me so greatly. You can't drive
your car if you're gonna keep looking in the rearview mirror.
That's why the windshield is huge. The windshield is huge.
(02:51):
The rearview mirror is this tiny thing that sits up there.
Now all is far. It's so you can see stuff
that's coming up on you. All the review mirror for
is so you can assure yourself or listen to this.
The review mirror is impt there to assure you that
you've cleared something. See. That's what the review mirrors for.
(03:13):
So when you pass it, corn you 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 review mirrors for. It ain't for you to stare
at and dictate your life with what you're tripping for. Man,
catch fire today today, man quick complaining about everything that
(03:34):
had 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 long I'm gonna ride that out? Man?
(03:58):
You know I can't do that right now. I fell
on hard times and I lost my place to stay.
Why are 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're in
the shelter. Now. Why are you still crying about the bridge?
(04:22):
You're in the shelter now, man, People, Man, we trip
ourselves out by complaining. I'm asking everybody today to catch
fire today. Stop complaining. Do something today. Get excited. Now.
I'm gonna say something that I'm going to have to explain.
Get excited about your life. You know the best way
(04:43):
to get excited about your life is to find your
purpose in your life. Oh, Steve got to explain that one,
don't you. Ye? If I knew, I knew it before
I said it. As soon as I said it, I
said them had to explain this right here, because if
people always be telling about you, say something you don't mean.
See what I do is when I say something, I
give you then explanation for so you can stop all
that I ain't no, I ain't no. Listen to me.
(05:04):
You got to get excited about your life. And the
best way to get excited about your life is to
find your purpose. Now, okay, Steve, That's what I've been
struggling with. I can't find my purpose. Yes you can,
Yes you can. You know how you find your purpose.
You get in touch with who created you, because when
(05:24):
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 take people longer to discover the purpose. Colonel Sanders
was frying chicken with a recipe that he was telling
people was the best chicken in the world. Ain't nobody
(05:45):
believe him till he turned seventy? Why you think the
dude that's only Kentucky fried chicken signs is old. That
dude ain't twin it up, that he oh he oh,
But know what he had been frying that chicken for
forty some years. They just found out about it when
(06:08):
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 to God, God for you. You'll go to
school to tack it on to something else, but your
(06:29):
gift was already given to you. You were born with that.
You don't have to go to college to know your guilt.
Your college allows you to enhance it, it it to find
something to attach it to, and hopefully you get a
degree that attaches your gift to a vehicle where it
can work. The problem with college is we go to
college and we attach it to what we like or
what we might be passionate about, and we ignore the
(06:51):
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're discovering life,
your guilt. 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 in no death, drawing, no picture for nobody.
But now guess what I can wake up every day
(07:13):
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 Garden. Come see me live
at Philips Arena. Come see me live at Joker's Comedy Club.
Come see me live at Pursy's. Come see me live
at Ellis's Tavot, Come see me live. Come. I've been
advertising the whole time, but I had a different purpose
(07:36):
in mine 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 any more time. Would you help
direct me and guide me to my purpose. I know
(07:57):
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 confirmed 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 far as it can get me.
How about you takeover and do your thing now? Can
(08:19):
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. This is the deal. You got
(08:40):
to catch fire today. Catch fire today, I am. I'm
excited about today. I've got a lot to do. I've
got to go out here and see what God God
for me today. I'm shaking the bushes. Man. If God
passing out blessings, I'm in line. I am in line.
Uh huh, I share well, a good morning everybody you're
