Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, here we are, last break of the day.
What do you have for us? Closing remarks? Let's get it.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You know, I decided to do something a little bit
different today. I want to give you a bullet point
list of things to consider to protect yourself as you're
climbing the letter to success. These bullet points are things
(00:26):
that all of us will can and have experienced, and
they come over and over and over at different levels,
in different times. Now, the things I'm about to share
with you are not the only things, and I don't
have them in any particular order.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I just wanted to share them with.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
These are what I call dream crushes. I can't tell
you how many people I know who've had wonderful aspirations
and dreams and got started and they allowed these dreams
to get crushed.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
And I know a lot of them. Now.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'm not gonna name all of them, but I am
gonna name some of them. And I want you all
to think about them as I list them, so you
can be on guard for them because they are coming.
Oh don't you think for one moment that they are
not coming. These are some of the dream crushes that
(01:33):
you'll encounter.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The first one. I simply call background chatter.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Somehow, when you're on your way, you hear the murmuring
in the crowd, you hear the naysayers.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
You just hear this constantly. Here he comes, here, she
come again. Oh, hey, how you doing? Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Here he come with thaty Have you seen what he
thought he was gonna be? Anybody y'all seeing his dream board?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It's so crazy. Hey, how you doing? Man? That's all right.
And you hear stuff like this, I call it background shatter.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It can be very very rough if you get it
on a constant basis. Those are one of the dream crushers.
Be very very careful. Here's another dream dream crusher comparisons
to others. See when you're building your house, when you're
building your road, when you're building your building, don't look
(02:39):
across the street at the other house, the other structure,
and the other building. First of all, you don't know
what's under the foundation of what appears to be a
grand building.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Now you're trying to build your solid.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
On a great foundation, rock by rock, level by level.
But you're looking over there and somebody halfway up with
a skyride, and you're trying to figure out why it's
taking you so long. You don't even know that they
don'et built that on sand. You don't even know that
there's no flooring behind it, that it ain't nothing but
a shell. Be careful of comparing your building to others,
because what you see across the street might not be
(03:17):
the same.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Those are dream crushes. Here's another one, a well timed setback.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Right when you think things are going along, all of
a sudden, something just pops up. You know what that is.
It's called life. It just surfaces. It's surfaces for all
of us, y'all. It's just life. It's nothing aimed directly
at you. It's not, but it's not resigned and particularly
your situation. Everybody got them, well timed setbacks, crushed dreams
(03:47):
all the time. Be ready, there will be some. Here's
another one. I want you to be careful, love, watch
out for statistics. Statistics were designed by people who were
failing to justify their failing. One out of every four hundred,
you know, only two in a million.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Ever, get.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I wouldn't play that lotto because the only person to
hear it today, say, is.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
One in two hundred and eighty five million.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Chances Statistics stop so many people because they keep putting
yourself in the one. You either put yourself in the one,
or you put yourself in the group. You know, one
out of every two thousand comedians make it on the
Johnny Carson Show. That was the stat I heard way
back when I got started, man only one. And if
(04:33):
people started looking at themselves as the one nine hundred
and ninety nine, now you know what I did. I
looked at myself as just the one. That statistics are
dream crushes. Here's another one right here, social media comments.
Beware those people don't know you. They really don't. They
know nothing about you. Matter of fact, they only have
(04:54):
one design in mind, and that is to discourage you.
Social media comments are a big dream crusher. Be careful
of Facebook. Everybody wanting to be your friend ain't your friend.
Watch out. It could be a possible dream crusher. On Facebook.
You didn't get no likes, you didn't get no comment,
They didn't befriend you, they didn't like your picture, they
(05:16):
didn't tell.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You about it. Everybody got to notice about the party.
But you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Dream crushes, be very careful. Here's another one. Stop talking
to small minded people. They are dangerous. Dream crushers. If
you want to kill a big dream, tell it to
a small minded person.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Be very careful.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Uh oh, here's another one that's a dream crusher. They're
called fair weather friends. Sometimes they good with you, sometimes
they ain't. They just friendly when it's sunny, but when
it get dark and gloomy outside, you can't find them.
They are potential dream crushers. Get rid of them very quickly.
Well meaning relatives. Uh oh, one of the greatest dream
(05:57):
crushes of all time. Well meaning relatives, be careful, because
all your relatives really don't mean well. Sorry, they are
dream crushers. At last, but not least yourself. Don't let
yourself be your biggest dream crusher. When things ain't going right,
prayer body get it turned around. Those are my closing
(06:19):
remarks today.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
All right, Like, well, y'all have a great week. Here
not party.
