1:58
going on, y'all anyway, so look, let's get into it tonight,
2:01
y'all. So this is something that that
2:06
is really plagued a lot of people, right?
2:10
Most people never reinvent themselves.
2:12
You know why? Because they're familiar.
2:15
They stay because they're comfortable.
2:17
They're afraid they're surrounded by negative people.
2:21
They're addicted to routine, right?
2:24
You ever seen somebody that JJ, no matter what, they do the same
2:28
thing every day and whether it's on a job or wherever they are,
2:34
if they're not making enough money, since it's comfortable,
2:37
since it's, you know, the place where I think I can, I, I'm just
2:41
comfortable. I don't have to really, really
2:45
push myself to do more, right? This one, these are the people
2:49
I'm talking about. They're just addicted to
2:51
routine. And tonight we're going to try
2:54
to get into how we can help them reinvent their lives.
2:57
So now, according to the American Psychological
2:59
Association, fear of failure and fear of uncertainty are one of
3:05
the biggest barriers to a major life change.
3:11
Fear keeps a lot of people stuck in places.
3:16
Fear some would rather just live in the pain that they're in than
3:21
risk discomfort. They don't know.
3:25
So if it's painful and they're comfortable with being in this
3:29
place and let's say we're not going to use relationships
3:32
because some people, you know, use relationships and abusive
3:35
relationships and we're not going to use that right.
3:37
That example we're going to use, say, for example, if they're in
3:42
a job and it's not making they're not making enough money,
3:47
they're whether to stay there because they know they're going
3:49
to get off at a certain time every day.
3:52
They know they're going to get this paid this a certain amount
3:55
every week. All this stuff they know is this
3:59
far from the house. And instead of them stepping out
4:03
into something to help them grow and make them a little bit of
4:07
discomfort, they can stay right where they are, right?
4:11
For example, take this out Moses, 40 years as a Prince, 40
4:17
years living, 40 years hiding. Then at 80, God reinvented his
4:22
life. Your age isn't your limitation,
4:26
your mindset is. If you put in your mind that
4:32
you're going to do something, you're going to do it if you
4:36
have the will to live. People have had cancer and and
4:41
sicknesses, health issues that actually would take most people
4:46
out. But they had the mindset that
4:49
you know what, I'm going to make it through this.
4:53
Your age, no matter how old you are, people got the mindset that
4:56
they're going to do something. They do it right.
5:00
Have you ever stayed somewhere too long?
5:03
Have you ever stayed in a place too long?
5:06
A job, a church, whatever a position?
5:11
Have you ever stayed in a place too long and why?
5:14
Right. OK, me when I was I, I give you
5:17
an example of me, I stayed at a company.
5:20
It was a dump truck company. I stayed there too long.
5:26
I know that. I knew that if it rained, I
5:29
wouldn't work. I knew if it was cold, I didn't
5:31
work. But I got comfortable with
5:33
staying at home, you know, Hey, I know I'm without the day.
5:37
It's cold and I got comfortable in that and I had to shift and
5:43
reinvent my life to do some other things, right.
5:47
So you cannot change what you refuse to examine.
5:52
Ask yourself, what am I good at? What drains me?
5:57
What inspires me, what discourages me?
6:01
Where am I wasting time? A lot of people waste time on a
6:06
lot of things that they really don't want to do because I get
6:16
good at, let's just say, I think you'd be good at cooking, but
6:22
you don't like cooking, you know, but but since somebody
6:28
else told you to do it, you're wasting time.
6:31
You know what I mean? What drains you?
6:33
You know, you get up in the morning and you just roll over
6:36
in the bed and be like, Lord, I do not want to go to this job.
6:42
I do not want to go into this building today.
6:47
That means it's draining you and you need to shift something
6:51
around so God can do something different in your life so you
6:55
can look at different opportunities.
6:57
Opportunities, right? Five areas to focus on.
7:02
One is faith now faith could be you know some people the Bible
7:07
says, you know talks about faith.
7:09
You know now faith is the substance of things hold for the
7:12
evidence of things not seen right, but some people's faith
7:16
is like the church like what denomination some I've heard of
7:20
it. You know, I believe by in faith.
7:23
You know my my faith is in Jesus Christ or whatever the case is.
7:28
Sometimes I've heard that say it that way, right?
7:31
Health, relationships, finances, purpose.
7:37
Now let me go back to relationships because when I say
7:40
relationships is not necessarily meaning that, you know, you're
7:46
like if you're married or, or, or if you engage or if you're
7:49
dating, relationships could mean business relationships.
7:53
You know what I mean? Like you're, you're you're in
7:56
relationships with certain business people and you got to
8:01
maintain that'll be an area to focus on.
8:04
You got to maintain that relationship.
8:05
You got to maintain your health, you got to maintain your
8:08
finances. You got to have a purpose and
8:11
know what your purpose is and maintain it.
8:15
Stay driven, stay purpose driven, stay purpose driven no
8:19
matter what, stay purpose driven, stay on your purpose,
8:22
right. So if you would had to rate
8:25
yourself from one to 10, where are you weak?
8:29
Is that in the ones I just listed?
8:33
Where are you weak at in faith one to 10.
8:37
Where would you rate yourself Health one to 10 because that's
8:39
important too. Because without health, you
8:42
might be in trouble. You know I'm saying your body
8:45
might shut down on you. You won't have to worry about
8:47
the relationship finance the purpose of nothing else, right?
8:50
So what do you rate yourself health wise, relationship wise
8:54
finances purpose one to 10. Where do you rate yourself?
9:00
You know, where are you weakest? Where are you the weakest at?
9:06
That's the starting point. Y'all, you got to, you got to
9:08
understand where you are. You focus on these five areas.
9:13
You got to figure out where you are.
9:15
It's just like this, right? It's like starting a race and
9:23
don't know what stop what? What's the starting point?
9:26
You don't know the starting point.
9:27
You definitely ain't going to know the ending point.
9:30
So you got to know where your starting point.
9:32
Where do you start from? Everybody know where they need
9:36
to start from. Some people you know their
9:37
finances are good but they health is bad.
9:42
Some of them their relationship is good but they money is bad.
9:46
Some on purpose is there, they ain't got no money, relationship
9:48
and health and none of that. So you got to know what your
9:52
starting point is, right? So this is one of the hardest
9:58
things to do, letting go of your old identity.
10:07
You got to let go of your old identity.
10:11
And one of the hardest things for people to do is stop
10:14
introducing themselves by your by their past.
10:20
I'm broke. I'm addicted.
10:22
I failed. That's not who you are.
10:25
Let's be clear on this. That's not who you are, right?
10:28
That's something that you experienced in life and it
10:32
doesn't define you. Those are some things, again,
10:36
you experience in life that and it doesn't define who you are.
10:44
Yeah. Well, cool.
10:44
Everybody failed. I failed.
10:46
You know, I I I failed before. Surprise.
10:49
I failed before. I've been broke before.
10:52
Surprised. Yeah, I've been, yeah.
10:55
Yeah, I was addicted to something before.
11:00
Yes. So the people listening, you are
11:04
not in this thing alone, right? You got to understand that this
11:10
is just something that you experienced in life.
11:13
Everybody going to experience something in life.
11:14
So these may be some of the things you experience.
11:17
You are not alone, right? So think about this from the
11:24
biblical perspective, right? You got to let go your old
11:28
identity so God could do something new, right?
11:31
Saul became Paul, Simon became Peter, Abraham became Abraham,
11:39
Jacob became Israel, and check this out.
11:42
Check this out. God often changed the name
11:45
before changing the future. So you got to, you got to like,
11:49
you got to be like, hey, I know I messed up as a fact, I know I
11:55
did. I, I, I know I messed up.
11:57
You know, it's, I know some things I did that was wrong that
12:00
I, that I messed up. I know I did.
12:04
But that does not define who I am.
12:06
I got to start changing the way that I look at myself.
12:11
And God changes. He changed their names before
12:16
changing what they were actually called to be.
12:19
So you got to start doing that. You got to change.
12:21
Stop calling yourself broke and addicted and poor and all these
12:26
things that we call ourselves. You're not that.
12:30
What labels have you accepted from people?
12:35
What labels have you allowed people to put on you crazy That
12:43
that that they, they crazy. They they crazy and you laugh at
12:51
it. How many labels have we allowed
12:54
people to put on us? You know what I'm saying?
12:57
Like, hey, you know, like, hey, too holy is one of them.
13:03
Hey, too holy for me. I can't they too holy, holy,
13:07
holy. I can't even be around them.
13:10
They just holy, holy and centrified.
13:13
I can't be around. They do holy and I ain't going
13:15
to lie that's I mean, being too holy is a good is a good labor
13:21
to have that mean you spending time with the Lord, right?
13:24
So that's a good labor to have. But I'm just saying, how many
13:26
bad labels have we allowed people to put on us that we
13:31
gladly accept and laugh it off. You know what I mean?
13:37
Now before we go to break, we're going to jump into this for for
13:41
a few minutes, right? You got to change the circle.
13:46
You have to change the people that you around.
13:52
It's no question about it. Check this out.
13:56
Jim Rohan, I think he said his name right, Ron.
14:01
Jim. Ron ROHN was an American
14:05
entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker.
14:09
This is what he said. This is what he said.
14:12
You are the average of the five people you spend most time the
14:16
most time with. You think about that.
14:20
You are the average of the five people you spend most time your
14:27
most time with. If you spend time with broke
14:30
people, 5 broke people, more than likely you're going to be
14:36
broke too. If you sitting most of your time
14:40
5 people and they drink, more than likely you're going to be a
14:46
drinker too. Yes, that's what he said and I
14:52
believe it because I know that if you're around somebody that
14:55
if you're not a cursor, you know used profanity and you around
14:58
people for a long time, you can adapt some of that.
15:01
So we got to be careful about who we around y'all, and I'm
15:04
going to get right back and do this after the break stats.
15:07
Tell that each day 22 veterans commit suicide due to PTSD.
15:13
These stats shook us and urged us to do our part.
15:17
After hours and hours of thinking, beekeeping for
15:20
veterans was born. Beekeeping for veterans combines
15:24
beekeeping with mindfulness meditation.
15:27
Why combine them? Here's why.
15:29
Beekeeping causes positive rush of adrenaline.
15:32
While beekeeping, you have to be calm during it.
15:36
You are mindful of your movements.
15:38
Each week, a veteran will receive a mindful meditation to
15:41
build emotional and mental skill sets.
15:44
Mindfulness is a set of three attentional skills that work
15:48
together, concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity, mental
15:53
calmness, composure, evenness of temper.
15:56
Every time mindfulness is practiced, we build these
15:59
skills. Beekeeping for veterans not only
16:02
helps veterans overcome emotional trauma but also aids
16:05
our environment as without bees there is no food.
16:09
Come forward. The people who have supported
16:11
your country now need your support.

16:39
Welcome back to Man Talk 133 with me and unite.
16:45
Welcome back to the show y'all. Tonight we're talking about how
16:48
to reinvent your life. We went through some things in
16:51
the first segment you you know, that would you can go back and
16:54
listen to. But when we ended the first
16:57
segment, we was talking about John, Jim, Ron.
17:01
He was an American entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker and
17:05
he said that you are, I'm reading it quote, you are
17:12
average of the five people you spend the most time with.
17:17
So who you spending time with Now that doesn't always have to
17:20
be something negative. And it could be you may, you may
17:23
spend around your time around smart people, people that is
17:26
making money if that's what you want to do, people that starting
17:29
businesses, if that's what you want to do, right?
17:31
So it's not always something that's bad, but you got to check
17:34
who you are spending your time with.
17:38
If you're spending time around bad people, change the circle.
17:42
Change the circle. And if you're a person that's,
17:45
you know, making ground, people that's making money and they're
17:48
starting to get greedy, change the circle.
17:51
You got to change the circle. And you got to ask yourself, now
17:54
ask yourself, who stretches me? Are the people around me?
17:59
Do they stretch me or am I always doing all the stretching?
18:05
Who celebrates me? Do I have accomplishments?
18:10
Who celebrates me? Or I might do what I want to
18:15
celebrate. And some people are just
18:17
natural. Encourage and encourage.
18:18
It's like, you know, Barnabas in the Bible, he was a, you know, a
18:21
natural encourager. But some people are so jealous
18:27
they can't celebrate with you. If you got jealous folk around
18:31
you that can't celebrate when something good happens to you,
18:35
change your circle. Who drains me Every time
18:44
something happens, they call me and they drain you for
18:49
information and they suck you dry and you're just like, man,
18:53
why? Every time something happens,
18:55
they call me. I'm tired of people calling me
18:58
all the time. It's stressful.
19:00
Like if that's the case, change a circle.
19:05
Change a circle. This is a this is one right here
19:08
that a lot of people do who only calls when they need some all
19:15
year. Everything good they don't.
19:18
You don't heard nothing from them.
19:21
But when they need some, I can't, man.
19:24
I have a flat tire. I need $10.00 or $20 or whatever
19:27
they may need. Guess what?
19:30
Guess who you going to hear from them?
19:32
You'll hear from them then. So who, who, who on the calls
19:39
when they need something? If you got those people around
19:43
you that's doing that, you got to change your circle, right?
19:49
Statistics show social support, strong influences, resilience,
19:54
motivation and long term success.
19:57
Sometimes reinvention requires replacing your environment.
20:05
That's right, you got to move. Sometimes you got to move from
20:08
around people. Because they will keep you stuck
20:11
in a place you got to move sometime.
20:14
If you're around people, that's all they're doing is just
20:16
draining you all the time. And they and you're the
20:19
breadwinner for everybody. You got to move.
20:22
We got to go do something different.
20:25
For example, Abraham, you know, you had to leave.
20:32
He had to separate from lot. You got to just, sometimes you
20:35
got to separate. Sometimes God calls you away
20:39
before he calls you upward. He cannot take you up if you got
20:44
people hanging onto your ankles, you trying to go up.
20:47
And every time you go up, they pull you right back down, you
20:51
know, telling you negative stuff.
20:53
And you know, you know that ain't God telling you to do
20:56
that. I mean, come on now.
20:57
We've been together for years. We've been doing this for years
21:01
together. Now you're going now you're
21:04
going to try to move away. I mean, I mean, do you, do you
21:08
know, do you know that? Do you know, do you know that
21:11
when you moves like that and how much it going to cost you?
21:16
I mean, you even have no friends up there.
21:18
You ain't going to just tell them I'm going to make new
21:20
friends. I made y'all friends, y'all my
21:23
friends. I can make new friends.
21:25
You got to move. You got to learn new skills.
21:29
The fastest growing people never stop learning.
21:34
They never stop educating themselves, no matter how high
21:38
that how how high they get, they never stop educating themselves.
21:43
They never stop learning. This is how they do it books now
21:50
this is this is I would say it's a true statement, but they
21:54
always used to run a race. When they say this, we want to
21:56
keep something black vote put in the book.
21:58
I say it like this if you if you want to hide something from
22:03
people, put it in the book because everybody don't like
22:08
reading. There ain't only black folk that
22:11
don't like reading. A lot of people don't like
22:13
reading. If you want to hide something
22:16
from them, put it in a book. Listen to podcast and Talk 133.
22:25
When you make the podcast like this, whatever it is you're
22:29
trying to go and grow into, listen to those type of
22:33
podcasts, right? Get mentors, put people around
22:37
you that's going to help you get to the place you need to get to.
22:42
Don't put people around you. They can't help you get nowhere.
22:46
No matter where you going, they can't help you.
22:49
There's no need of having people around you, no need at all.
22:53
You're going to waste a lot of time, a lot of energy.
22:56
They're going to drain you. They're going to suck you dry.
22:59
And then in the end, you still ain't going to be able to get
23:02
what you need to get to get you. Some mentors take courses.
23:08
You got to take courses, y'all, you got to.
23:10
You got to take courses to educate yourself.
23:13
You got to, you know, I took some courses and I said this
23:18
before and I'm going to say it again.
23:19
I'm a certified business consultant and a certified life
23:23
coach. I had to take courses to learn
23:27
different things. I had to.
23:29
There's no court, no way around it.
23:31
Start networking. If you're getting into a certain
23:34
field, a real field or business field or whatever, start
23:38
networking with people in that field.
23:42
That way, you know, you can start building your, you know,
23:46
your Rolodex, so to speak, where people can, you know, you can
23:49
reach out to people, they got questions like if you have
23:52
questions like, hey, you know, I need to figure out I got this
23:57
deal on the table, but I don't really quite know how to land
24:01
the deal. You know, can you help me or can
24:04

25:55
So I'm, I'm, I'm actually challenging myself at the same
25:58
time. Read one book every month.

26:08
become if you are trying to get into real estate or real estate

They don't cost you nothing to go outside and walk, you know
27:52
what I mean? And drink water ain't talking
27:55
about like 8 ounces in two days. I'm talking about I drink
27:59
probably about 120 ounces of water a day.
28:03
So drink your water y'all. Now, studies consistently show
28:08
regular physical activity improves mood, cognitive
28:14
function, and long term health. So as long as you're getting out

29:02
They need better habits. They need how to learn how to
29:05
manage it better, budget it better.
29:08
That's what they need. They don't need a whole lot more
29:10
money because the more money you get, the more you're going to
29:13
spend it on nonsense. So you don't need more money.
29:18
Well, you do need more money, but I'm saying like most people
29:26
that have this making a good amount of money don't need more
29:29
money. They just need need to know how
29:30
to budget what they have and that'd be just fine.
29:33
Think about it for the old days y'all.
29:36
I mean think about it, they they, they're not, they were

wasn't making nowhere near where we make it and they made it with

I'm telling you, before I went to the break we were talking
31:38
about people don't need more. Most people don't need more
31:40
money. They need better habits.
31:43
One of the habits they need is how to budget, how to budget
31:47
them bucks. If we don't know how to budget
31:48
them bucks, you're going to be in trouble.
31:51
That's a fact. I don't got how much money you
31:53
got. You ever think about this?
31:56
People think they just need more.
31:57
If I just had more money, I have more money.
32:00
I could listen. It's been millionaires that
32:06

32:12
budget, right? You got to learn how to budget
32:15
your money. You got to know how to save.
32:19
You got to know how to invest. This is the thing that get a lot
32:23
of people. You got to stop impulse
32:26
spending. I've been guilty of it, y'all?
32:32
Another surprise surprise. I've been I've been guilty of
32:36
impulse spending, y'all. I mean, I, you know, I see a
32:40
pair of shoes. I'm just like man, I like these
32:43
and then I see another pair and I'm like Dang, I like them too.
32:48
Now that you knew what Dang I'm going to get both of them, you
32:52
know what I'm going to do impulse spending.
32:54
We got to stop doing that. You know we got to stop.
32:57
We got to stop doing that multiple streams of income.
33:02
We got to create more ways to make money.
33:04
Y'all more than just your job. You got to have put you some get
33:08
you some investments, you know, get you a little side hustle,
33:12
whatever you doing to try to get other money in right, So you can
33:17
set up these things like emergency emergency funds.
33:22
Ain't saying you can't set it up now, but it'll help you put more
33:25
into your emergency fund. I think some people say it's
33:28
about what, 6, six months or something like that.
33:31
You should have say for emergency fund.
33:34
If you go to a job and I tell everybody this, I don't care
33:38
where you go to, if you go to a job, get into to their
33:43
retirement program, you got to helps you for invest for
33:49
retirement. You know, if you going to if you
33:52
feel like this is the job going to be here forever, get it to
33:57
the retirement program y'all and match what they if they match,
34:00
match it. You ain't going to miss the
34:02
money anyway. And plus you're going to get it
34:04
and triggered off on coffee and stuff anyway.
34:07
So you ain't going to see it. I think it's pre tax.
34:10
You get it before they take it out before you ain't get taxed.
34:15
You know what I'm saying? So you're not going to miss it.
34:17
Get into retirement programs that people have.
34:20
Start investing, start small. Do not invest in.
34:24
If people going to come and tell you, hey, you know what, I got
34:27
your program. If you give me $1000, I
34:32
guarantee you by the end of the year you're going to have at
34:35
least 2,000,000. If you don't take our running
34:39
the other way, flying the other way and while you running away
34:44
from them, call my liar on the way while you running away from
34:48
because it is most definitely a scam.
34:51
I'm just letting you know that right now.
34:54
Hey, if you got a talent, something that you good at, get
34:57
you a side business, set you up a side business, you know what I
35:01
mean? Do something that you good with
35:03
your hands. You know, if you can start a
35:05
podcast, a YouTube channel, if you like to talk and you're
35:10
exciting and people want to look at you, Hey, start a channel.
35:14
Never know where it may grow into.
35:16
That's what man talk did was, you know, my brother and I, you
35:21
know, I started this thing and brought him in and brought
35:23
Marcus in and, you know, we turned it in, you know, to
35:28
YouTube and then it just went from there.
35:31
And that's, you know, it's, it's growing where it's growing, you
35:33
know, and it turned into a clothing line that came out of
35:38
it, which is again, man talk 133 apparel co.com.
35:46
I'm gonna put the link here, but y'all don't worry about it.
35:48
I got you. Don't worry about it.
35:49
I got you social media income. If you are able to, you know,
35:56
you, you know, you ain't got to be articulate, you ain't got to
35:59
be polished. You don't have to be like, you
36:02
know, one of the greatest speakers like Les Brown and and
36:05
the other guy talk about John, Jim, Ron.
36:08
You don't got to be polished like those guys.
36:10
Just get up there and if it's if you consistent because you're
36:14
going to it's you're going to need consistency and discipline
36:17
in social media, you're definitely going to need it and
36:21
you can potentially create you a side income digital products.
36:26
If you're selling something that's a digital like a ebook or
36:30
something like that. Joe KDP, Amazon KDP self
36:36
published, all these different things.
36:38
You can do self publish your own book, you know, KDP and you know
36:44
once you do it up there, you can put it on a whole lot of other
36:48
different plat Barnes and Noble and all the different places.
36:51
I got a book out there Ministry from my perspective by Shaw
36:55
Whitaker. It's all over.
36:56
Check it out real estate. Now.
37:00
This is one of the things I was in pretty heavy.
37:03
You know, I had it was about and property.
37:14
So if you get into the market at the right time, whether you're
37:20
going to get in and flip or were you going to get in a hole, if
37:24
you get in at the right time, you can hold them.
37:27
I end up getting in at a good time, but then a bad time
37:31
because 2008 hit, you know, the bottom fell out.
37:34
So you kind of you had to get rid of it.
37:36
If you, you know, people won't pay in and also you had to get
37:39
rid of it. So that's what I did still did
37:42
pretty good with real estate, really good with real estate.
37:45
So look at real estate. Remember the in the Bible talk
37:50
about the parable of the talents that you gave one he buried in
37:53
the ground, he gave another one this amount and he gave one of
37:56
them X amount and he multiplied it.
38:01
So God bless the multiplication, not excuses the other one when
38:05
buried in the ground. Like, you know, it's what's the
38:09
purpose of that? You're going to burn in the
38:10
ground for what? Like it?
38:12
That didn't make sense, you know what I'm saying?
38:14
Just like, you know, if you're going to invest in something,
38:17
invest, you know what I mean? Listen, OK, if you can find some
38:23
invest in where you're making, let's say 10% on your money,
38:30
right, versus somewhere where you getting less than 1%, you
38:38
might as well take the money and put it where you're going to get
38:41
the 10%. Long as it's a safe investment.
38:43
Because the 1% or less than 1% to hold on a credit union or
38:48
bank or whatever is not doing you any good, none whatsoever.
38:51
They're making money with your money and give you the crumbs
38:54
off of it. So yeah, you got to reinvent
38:58
your mind. Everything begins with your
39:01
thinking as a man thinking in his heart, so is he, whether it
39:05
be good or bad. So you got to think and you got
39:10
to be thinking all the time. Negative thinking creates
39:14
negative living positive thinking without action changes
39:18
nothing. So if you're thinking positive,
39:22
it's basically, it's basically like faith without works is
39:25
dead. You got all this faith, but you
39:27
ain't moving on nothing. So it's basically, it ain't
39:31
going to change nothing. Just going to be just stuck in
39:34
this cycle where you doing nothing.
39:37
It's it faith requires action. I just said that faith without
39:44
works is dead, period. There ain't no way of getting
39:48
around it. You have all the faith in the
39:50
world, but if you ain't moving forward on nothing, you're going
39:53
to stay stuck. That's the fact.
39:57
These are some practical habits. Y'all morning gratitude, Wake up
40:02
thankful, grateful, thanking the Lord for your another day.
40:08
You know they because he the Bible say hey, daily loads who
40:11
have benefits. Don't you want to know what your
40:13
benefits are? Talk to him.
40:15
God, what benefits I got today? You said I got you say you load
40:19
me with daily benefit. What is it?
40:21
I want to know what they are for today because I, I mean, I know
40:24
what happened to me yesterday. I had, I had some crazy favor.
40:28
Everywhere I went, things happened for me.
40:30
I mean, I just like, hey, I went in this place.
40:33
I got, you know, they somebody to pay for my food.
40:36
I went in this place and you know, I thought it was going to
40:38
be $300 and end up being 100 because they had $200 off
40:43
discount just for me. So I mean, hey, prayer, you got
40:49
to you got to give up in the morning and pray.
40:51
You got to get up and read the Bible or whatever it is is going
40:54
to get you to the place you need to be.
40:59
You got to sit down and write down these goals.
41:04
You got to write them down. Y'all ain't no way of getting
41:06
around it. You got to take a book because
41:09
what I'm tell you what happens, you could be riding and you
41:13
thinking of something like, Dang, that's a great idea.
41:16
Wow, that's a great idea. That is a great idea.
41:22
Wow. You think about, think about,
41:23
think about somebody cut you off and you get mad with them and
41:28
you forget what the idea was. Or you think about in the bed.
41:33
You know what? I get up in the morning.
41:34
I'm a I'm a jot this down. As soon as I get up in the
41:37
morning, I'm a write this down and guess what?
41:40
You forget what it was or you forget all of you remember some
41:44
of it, but not all of it, right? Affirmations rooted in
41:49
scripture. We just affirmations limited
41:53
negative media. Let me tell y'all something
41:56
right now. Excuse me, y'all the news, Lord
42:03
have mercy. The news right now y'all is
42:06
negative media. I hate to say it, All of them
42:09
negative media. All of them are negative media
42:13
right now. Whether you're Democrat or
42:14
Republican or independent or whatever or libertarian,
42:19
whatever you are, all the news outlets right now are negative.
42:25
So you got to limit that. You got to limit what you what
42:31
you, you know your ear gates and eye gates, right?
42:33
Because Romans 12 and two says be you transformed by the
42:36
renewing of your mind. You got to renew your mind with
42:38
positive thinking, positive things.
42:41
It's no question about it. You have to reinvent your
42:44
purpose. Purpose answers what?
42:48
Why am I here? Why many people chase money that
42:54
ain't may not be what your purpose is.
42:56
Your purpose may be to help young kids and take a less pay,
43:01
take a pay cut, as they said, take a haircut on it.
43:05
You know what I'm saying? If you if that's what your
43:07
purpose is and and it's fulfilling to you, then forget
43:14
the money that's going to come. You know what I mean?
43:18
You got to know why am I here? You know, some, some people
43:23
chase money, some other people chase titles.
43:25
Their whole goal in life is somebody to call them a prophet.
43:31
Yeah. And you know, I'm a prophet.
43:34
So and so, yeah. You know, I, I, you know, I
43:39
since when people chase, some people chase.
43:42
I've been trying to, I've been working at this job for 30 years
43:44
and they finally promoted me to supervisor.
43:48
You just that's what they chase, but fulfillment comes from
43:54
purpose. If you know what your purpose
43:57
is, that's what you're going to be fulfilled.
44:00
You're going to really be like man, like dude, I feel so I can
44:04
do this for free. They ain't even really got to
44:06
pay me to do this. You know what I mean?
44:08
So that's what that's when you know that's your purpose, right?
44:12
If money wasn't an issue, what would you spend your life doing?
44:18
If if you don't have to worry about money at all in life, what
44:24
would you spend your life doing? I don't know.
44:29
I mean, that was a good question because you got to think about
44:31
it. I don't know.
44:34
Would you spend your life mentoring, serving, building,
44:39
giving You know what would be your Kingdom impact or usually
44:44
going to have money and do nothing, just sit around, do
44:48
nothing. I don't know what, what would it
44:51
be? Y'all?
44:52
I, I, I tend to think I'll be try to be mental to some people.
44:56
You know, I would like to create as create as many millionaires
45:00
as I possibly could. If I'm a millionaire, you get
45:02
what I'm saying? Give them the blueprint for them
45:04
to become millionaires as well. Responsible people.
45:07
I'll be right back after the break y'all.
45:09
Stats tell that each day, 22 veterans commit suicide due to
45:14
PTSD. These stats shook us and urged
45:17
us to do our part. After hours and hours of
45:20
thinking, beekeeping for veterans was born.
45:23
Beekeeping for veterans combines beekeeping with mindfulness
45:27
meditation. Why combine them?
45:30
Here's why. Beekeeping causes positive rush
45:33
of adrenaline. While beekeeping you have to be
45:36
calm during it. You are mindful of your
45:39
movements. Each week, a veteran will
45:42
receive a mindful meditation to build emotional and mental skill

sets. Mindfulness is a set of three
45:48
attentional skills that work together, concentration, sensory
45:52
clarity and equanimity, mental calmness, composure, evenness of
45:57
temper. Every time mindfulness is
45:59
practiced, we build these skills.

46:51
some stuff in this show tonight. Y'all that's going to help y'all
46:54
reinvent y'all life if y'all want to.
46:57
It's all choice. If you want to do it, you can.
47:00
If you don't owe you the information that's there, you
47:04
just got to go apply it. Faith without words is dead.
47:09
And if you don't have no faith, if you got faith and no works,
47:13
you can stay stuck in the same old place.
47:17
That's just how they're going to go sour to tell y'all sorry all
47:22
right, So before we get out of here, right, but I'm going to
47:26
give you some steps for your 90 day reinvention plan, all right?
47:32
We're going to go through week one week one, week 1, y'all, I
47:36
mean it's a lot, but y'all can go back and listen to it right?
47:38
But just before we get out of here, I'm a challenge.
47:41
Everyone listening to me tonight and week 1 clean your house,
47:46
clean your phone, delete distractions, write down goals.
47:53
Week two, start exercising, read daily, pray daily, read the
48:00
Bible, read something I would say the Bible and something else
48:04
that's just me. That's what I was saying.
48:06
Pray daily. Let me tell y'all something
48:08
about the prayer thing, you know, and the exercise thing
48:11
too. The prayer thing is, you know,
48:15
some people think you got to pray for an hour.
48:18
They see the older people that pray for 23rd and folded fifty
48:22
6070 minutes. You'd be like, whoa, I got to
48:26
pray that long. No, you don't.
48:29
You don't have to pray that long.
48:30
You don't start somewhere though.
48:33
You got to start somewhere. Start somewhere.
48:35
Please start somewhere. 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 7 minutes,
48:39
10 minutes. Start somewhere, y'all?
48:41
It's like exercising. Some people see these folks get
48:45
on the elliptical and they be up there for like 2 hours.
48:47
They be like like it ain't bothering them.
48:51
Don't do that. Start with the 10 minutes of
48:54
five. Whatever you got in, you, it
48:57
don't matter. Just whatever you got in, you
48:59
start somewhere. Week 3, find a mentor, somebody
49:05
you can trust, somebody that you know is going to give you the
49:07
right advice that you need for you to move forward and what you
49:13
trying to get to join a community, you know, the real
49:17
estate community or AI community where you know, people trying to
49:20
learn AI and whatnot. Join a community, you know what
49:24
I'm saying? Like they get all types of
49:26
communities now join one. And another thing when you join
49:32
these communities, ignore the trolls because you're going to
49:35
have people in that trolling and acting all crazy, saying all
49:39
crazy weird. Ignore them.
49:41
Know what your purpose is, what you go in there for.
49:44
I'm in here to get this. That's it.
49:47
Do not let people trick you out of what you coming in there.
49:51
If you come to get knowledge and education, they're acting like a
49:54
fool. Network intentionally.
49:58
If you're in in that keep going to real estate or if you in
50:02
Bitcoin or crypto, whatever, network intentionally to those
50:09
type of people. You know what I mean?
50:11
Make sure you do that. I but #2 create a budget, create
50:20
a budget, start a side hustle, something that can bring you
50:24
some money in. Take one class.
50:27
I ain't said 2345 one class, just one class that'll help you,
50:33
that you feel like it's going to help you, whether it be coding,
50:36
whether it be, you know, self-paced classes for you, you
50:39
know, for you want to do something different, Take a
50:42
class month #3 I think you've done that lunch something.
50:48
You know what? I've done these classes and
50:50
that's time for me to lunch some.
50:51
I need to start some now 'cause I'm tell you what happened.
50:55
You take these classes, right? If people go ahead and implement
50:58
the information, you'll forget it and then you don't.
51:02
Then you have to go back and either relearn it or drop it.
51:06
That what you end up doing. Start the YouTube channel.
51:09
Is that what you want to do? If that's your, if that's your
51:13
purpose in your plan, start it. It's free.
51:16
Don't cost you nothing. You just got to be consistent
51:20
with this thing. Y'all, It's nothing when people
51:25
start these YouTube channels, they think it's hey, you going
51:27
to get up and have a viral moment, and I don't even
51:30
recommend all this money. It's not trust me, it's not like
51:33
that not at all Believe you and me write the book.
51:39
If you had a book that you've been contemplating about write
51:42
it write it The job come over at the job.
51:46
Some come over at the job. You know where I, you know, I, I
51:50
think I'm qualified for, but I don't know if I'm really quite
51:53
stop talking yourself out of stuff.
51:55
Go apply for the promotion. Start the business.
52:00
You changing tires and you going to start a changing tire
52:03
through, you know, one of these warranty companies or like AUSA
52:07
or something where you can do roadside, start a business,
52:11
stop, procrastinate, leave the Bible study instead of you
52:16
preaching to everybody else all the time, right?
52:20
You know, to your family or to yourself.
52:23
Start the Bibles, lead it, get up there.
52:26
So you know what you know, I'm, I'm gonna go ahead and lead this
52:29
tonight, you know, because it's it's yeah, I got to go ahead and
52:33
handle this tonight because it's my time now for me to start to
52:39
lead. Take the first step.
52:43
Take it, take it. Just take this step, y'all.
52:49
I'm gonna tell you one, you know, back in the day, it's two
52:53
things we used to do and you would have to take the step.
52:58
One thing was when you step off in the pool now I couldn't swim.
53:02
I can, I can save me right now. Anybody else they in trouble.
53:06
I mean, better call on Jesus because you step you and I can't
53:10
unless I'm able to stand up you in trouble, right?
53:14
So, so you have to take the step into the water.
53:21
Take the step. We just jump off the top of
53:24
houses. First thing you got to do is
53:27
take the step and step off of it, right?
53:32
You don't need another January. You don't need another Monday.
53:35
You don't need permission. You don't need to be perfect,
53:39
need the conditions to be perfect.
53:41
You don't need all of that. You need one decision.
53:47
God specialized in taking broken people and building beautiful
53:51
futures. Moses reinvented.
53:54
David reinvented. Peter reinvented.
53:57
Paul reinvented. If you if God could transfer
54:02
murders into missionaries, powers into leaders, fishermen
54:06
into world changes, then he could certainly reinvent your
54:09
life. The greatest version of you is
54:12
it behind you. It isn't behind you.
54:15
It's still ahead of you. Stop living beneath your
54:20
calling. Rise, grow, learn, lead, and
54:27
never forget. Don't forget.
54:29
Man's how we believe. Men are just called to exist.
54:32
They're called to lead with faith, integrity, purpose and
54:36
courage. I am Shawl Whitaker man talk 133
