- 1:38Speaker 1: almost every full blown adult that I know will tell
- 1:41Speaker 1: you and have said these words right here many times.
- 1:44Speaker 1: And I would see the reason I'm saying is because
- 1:46Speaker 1: I want you to hear them, because you're gonna use them.
- 1:48Speaker 2: If I only knew then what I know now.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Do you know how many people have said those words
- 1:54Speaker 1: right there? Because in time, man, you gain so much wisdom.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Oh but it ain't like nobody didn't tell you, though
- 2:01Speaker 1: somebody told you back then. Hey man, it's best to
- 2:04Speaker 1: buckle down now, he say, Hey man, you better quit
- 2:06Speaker 1: wasting time. Hey look, do your best at all the times,
- 2:09Speaker 1: you know, stop stop worrying about that. I'm telling you, son,
- 2:12Speaker 1: in a minute, them clubs ain't gonna mean nothing to you.
- 2:15Speaker 1: In a minute, that going out all the time ain't
- 2:17Speaker 1: gonna mean nothing to you. I can't tell you how
- 2:19Speaker 1: many times I repeat it to my kids. But man,
- 2:22Speaker 1: today is a different day, because today is the day
- 2:25Speaker 1: that the Lord has made.
- 2:27Speaker 2: So he gave you a shot today. If you woke up.
- 2:29Speaker 1: This morning, or if you're finishing your day on your shift,
- 2:32Speaker 1: he gave you a new day. Nothing bigger than the
- 2:36Speaker 1: fact that he woke you up today. Now, why don't
- 2:40Speaker 1: you do something about that? Why don't you take advantage
- 2:43Speaker 1: of it? How About if you start today? How about
- 2:45Speaker 1: if you stop hesitating today. How about if you stop
- 2:47Speaker 1: delaying it today. How about if you stop procrastinating today.
- 2:51Speaker 1: How about if you make today to day that you

- 3:03Speaker 1: advantage of this blessing of waking up. Do something today.
- 3:07Speaker 1: If you would just start the process, man, start that
- 3:10Speaker 1: business you always dreamed of. Go, look into that other
- 3:13Speaker 1: job you always yearn for. Go get the training you
- 3:16Speaker 1: need to get the promotion. Man, go back to school, man,
- 3:20Speaker 1: go see what you need to do to lift yourself
- 3:22Speaker 1: to the next level. Stop waking up every day seeing
- 3:26Speaker 1: how it's gonna go, and start waking up and do
- 3:28Speaker 1: something about how it goes. If you make one step,
- 3:31Speaker 1: he'll make two. But you could people talk about all
- 3:34Speaker 1: the time, man, it seemed like you're always getting a blessing.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Oh man, when you talking to a person, listen to this.
- 3:39Speaker 1: If you talking to a person and it seems like
- 3:42Speaker 1: there's always a blessing coming his way, let me tell
- 3:45Speaker 1: you what that person doing. That person is putting one
- 3:48Speaker 1: foot in front of the next. That person is putting
- 3:51Speaker 1: forth some efforts out there. And that's the only way
- 3:54Speaker 1: God can bless you. God can only bless you with
- 3:56Speaker 1: your efforts. He can only put his finger on the
- 4:00Speaker 1: thing that you are doing or attempting.
- 4:04Speaker 2: That's all he can help you with.
- 4:06Speaker 1: He there are no jobs walking up to your door,
- 4:09Speaker 1: knocking on your door. But if you beating the pavement,
- 4:11Speaker 1: if you sending in the apps, if you online scolaring
- 4:14Speaker 1: somewhere to work, somewhere to get a job, then.
- 4:17Speaker 2: God can touch somebody's heart to hire you.
- 4:19Speaker 1: But if you sitting at the house every day, smoke
- 4:22Speaker 1: every day, drinking, but you wondered why you just can't
- 4:25Speaker 1: get a job the couple times you the one out there.
- 4:28Speaker 1: If you ain't got a job, you got to look
- 4:30Speaker 1: go get one every day. You got to go look
- 4:32Speaker 1: for one every single day. You can't take no days off.
- 4:36Speaker 1: How about today? How about today? If we decide today
- 4:39Speaker 1: is the day that we're gonna make the move. Today
- 4:42Speaker 1: is the day that we stop delaying, hesitating, procrastinating. Today
- 4:46Speaker 1: is to day that we take a step in the
- 4:48Speaker 1: direction to do something for ourselves, for our lives, for
- 4:50Speaker 1: our family, for our wives, for our children, for our community,
- 4:54Speaker 1: for our school. Do something today, for crying out loud, man,
- 4:59Speaker 1: stops sitting in your own life in just a stew
- 5:03Speaker 1: of misery in your own life.
- 5:06Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you something.
- 5:07Speaker 1: If you are in a state of confusion, if you
- 5:09Speaker 1: are troubling, if you're stuck on what to do next,
- 5:13Speaker 1: you let me tell.
- 5:13Speaker 2: You what's happening. You're not doing enough. That's what it is. Man.
- 5:18Speaker 1: See when I get in a place, man where I
- 5:21Speaker 1: don't know what the next move is, it's because I'd
- 5:25Speaker 1: un usually stalled out.
- 5:26Speaker 2: See this is the way God works. This is the
- 5:28Speaker 2: way He's worked for me.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Every time I'm busy and I'm about the business of

- 5:44Speaker 1: you're so busy with the business of improving yourself and
- 5:48Speaker 1: doing with yourself and becoming the best you you can be.
- 5:52Speaker 1: God is always working on your behalf, behind some scene
- 5:57Speaker 1: of something that you're in the process of to close.
- 6:01Speaker 1: But because you're not doing all you can do, you're
- 6:05Speaker 1: limiting you. You are because if your decision not to
- 6:08Speaker 1: give you all and all, you're limiting the opportunities for
- 6:12Speaker 1: God to put his finger on things in touch them
- 6:14Speaker 1: on your behalf. I don't know if the average person
- 6:19Speaker 1: really understands or knows what it takes to truly be
- 6:23Speaker 1: successful on whatever level you're talking about. But whatever that
- 6:28Speaker 1: level is, I don't care what a dollar amount you've
- 6:30Speaker 1: got attached to it, what level you got if you
- 6:32Speaker 1: have made the decision that you're going to be successful.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people, the average person
- 6:38Speaker 1: does not know what that means. Whatever level you've decided
- 6:42Speaker 1: to be successful on See, that's your level of faith,
- 6:45Speaker 1: that's where you see your life at. Well, guess what
- 6:49Speaker 1: you got to maximize your efforts to even get to
