Hey, we're going on Steve one and cool keeping listening
to you. Hey, I had a quick question. Man, I
feel like I have a calling on I know I
have a calling on my life because so it burns
inside of me when I think about it. You know
what I'm saying that I have a calling on my
life and I believe it not only put me and
(00:41):
my family on a different level, but it will also
help a lot of other people. But I'm not being
consistent about it. I'm being just a beating about it
and I'm not I'm not going after it. Like I said,
what you suggest I can do to keep me focused
and to keep me consistent about it and keep kissing
food at it. I appreciate it in a day. Thank you.

It's simple. It's very simple. What I answer I'm about
to give you is very simple, but it's hard. You
have to become disciplined. Discipline is doing what you have
to do even when you don't want to.

See.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
To answer the calling on your life, it requires some
discipline because that calling.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
You don't want all to come with the calling.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I've oftentimes not wanted everything that comes with my calling.
But you it eats away at you. You have to
answer the call. You not answer the call. You just said, brother,
it will make a better way for your family, your
life and everything. But you also are looking at the requirements,
(01:44):
and that's what's got you shaking. You ain't consistent because
you wake up some days and you just don't want
to do that today. Discipline is doing what you have
to do even when you don't want to do it.
So bruh, you have to become disciplined. Discipline is the
key to becoming successful. Without discipline, you cannot become successful.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
You just can't.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
And discipline is hard to do. Discipline is hard to develop.
It's hard to wake up and do something that you
have to do, do something you don't want to do,
and got to do it anyway. It's hard, man. But
those that honor the discipline are the ones that have
different types of lives. And you get to make that choice.
(02:32):
God gives us the power of decision. We all get
to decide who we are, what we gonna be. And
the moment you stop trying, you have to now make
the adjustment to setting in well, this is my life.
If you say this is my life, this is what
I've resigned myself to, then that's guess what. That's what
your life is to be. And if you ain't happy
(02:54):
with it, that's your decision. God ain't stopped you from dreaming.
God didn't stop you from believing you did. That's yourself.
When you stop dreaming, that's you. When you quit believing
that's you. That decision occurs in your mind, between your
(03:18):
temples and your earloads, those decisions are made up there.
You You, you.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Are the foreman of your brain.

You just have to understand that your brain is operated
in two halves.

You have a positive side and a negative side.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
A foreman is in charge of the negative side, and
a foreman is in charge of the positive side, and
a foreman is in charge of the negative side. Who
you called to the forefront to give instructions to every day?
Speaker 4 (03:53):

If you say, well, man, I don't walk up on
the wrong side of the bit man, I don't feel
myself today.

to the front of your brain, that starts issuing workers
artis today? Well, boss man said he got up on
the wrong side of bed the day. Boss man said
