Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, Junior, you have a question for Steve. Yeah,
- 0:03Speaker 1: I do, Unc. I want to ask you about this.
- 0:04Speaker 1: It has something to do with chasing dreams, Unc. And
- 0:08Speaker 1: what are some of the mistakes that you've seen people make, Unc,
- 0:11Speaker 1: early on when they're chasing their dreams that you probably
- 0:13Speaker 1: made yourself? And how do you correct them when you're
- 0:15Speaker 1: chasing dreams? I think the biggest mistake is the start time.
- 0:21Speaker 1: It's the start time for chasing your dreams. The average
- 0:25Speaker 1: person keeps waiting on the perfect time. Man, as soon
- 0:30Speaker 1: as I get my ducks lined up in a row,
- 0:32Speaker 1: I'm going to go do this, man. As soon as
- 0:33Speaker 1: I get everything in place, I'm going to get this.
- 0:36Speaker 1: If I get this loan, I'm going to go do this.
- 0:38Speaker 1: When I meet this person right here, I'm going to
- 0:40Speaker 1: go and do this. It's the start. You know the
- 0:45Speaker 1: best time to start? Right now. There's no better time
- 0:50Speaker 1: to start than now. There's no perfect time to start.
- 0:53Speaker 1: It's not going to be no perfect journey anyway. So
- 0:56Speaker 1: why would you wait on the perfect time when the journey,
- 0:59Speaker 1: the route will not be perfect? The route to your dreams, man,
- 1:04Speaker 1: it is cluttered with pitfalls, roadblocks, detours, all of that, man. Brother,
- 1:20Speaker 1: you just have to make up in your mind that
- 1:22Speaker 1: it's something you want. And you know what it is
- 1:25Speaker 1: I found out, man? Here's the thing about chasing your dream.
- 1:32Speaker 1: And I'm going to try to explain it this way.
- 1:34Speaker 1: You have to know that you know. You know, man,
- 1:41Speaker 1: it's like if you keep thinking there's something better for
- 1:44Speaker 1: your life, it is. If you keep imagining something that
- 1:47Speaker 1: will not let you sleep, it is that thing right there.
- 1:52Speaker 1: That is the dream you should be chasing. And you
- 1:55Speaker 1: don't have to know how to do it. You don't
- 1:58Speaker 1: know how to get there. You don't have to know
- 2:02Speaker 1: the finish line. You don't even have to know the
- 2:04Speaker 1: whole process. But you know what you do have to know?
- 2:08Speaker 1: You have to know that you know this is for you.
- 2:10Speaker 1: That's all you have to do. I don't care who
- 2:13Speaker 1: you explain it to. How many naysayers you get. How
- 2:18Speaker 1: many people tell you I don't see how. I don't
- 2:21Speaker 1: know why. That don't seem right to me. Let them
- 2:25Speaker 1: say all of that. But as long as you know
- 2:28Speaker 1: that you know, that's it. That's the most imperative thing.
- 2:35Speaker 1: That you are utterly and entirely convinced that this is
- 2:41Speaker 1: for you. You're going to have to pursue that. You're
- 2:46Speaker 1: going to have to chase that. Because it is that
- 2:52Speaker 1: that will keep you up at night. It was that
- 2:55Speaker 1: that will keep you going when you feel like quitting.
- 2:57Speaker 1: It is that. That is the most important thing. I
- 3:02Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times that dream kept me
- 3:06Speaker 1: from quitting. That dream kept me from not staying down.
- 3:13Speaker 1: That dream caused me to get up. That dream made
- 3:18Speaker 1: me take all the no's I had to take. Because
- 3:23Speaker 1: I just knew, man. I know that I know this
- 3:28Speaker 1: is for me. I just know I'm going to make it.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I was so thoroughly convinced of it, man, that no
- 3:34Speaker 1: matter what happened, I knew that I knew I was
- 3:39Speaker 1: doing the right thing because it felt right. When it
- 3:42Speaker 1: didn't feel right, it felt right. Amen. This is how
- 3:46Speaker 1: you know you're on track. When what you're pursuing doesn't
- 3:50Speaker 1: feel right, but then the thought of not pursuing it
- 3:54Speaker 1: makes you feel worse, then you're on to something. You
- 3:59Speaker 1: are really on to something. You just have to know
- 4:02Speaker 1: that you know. Man, everybody thinks about quitting. But you
- 4:08Speaker 1: know what stops you from quitting? The thought of quitting
- 4:13Speaker 1: and never pursuing this anymore. How empty that would be
- 4:17Speaker 1: for you. Just got to pursue the dream, man. Got
- 4:23Speaker 1: to chase it, young people. Got to chase it with
- 4:26Speaker 1: everything in you. When it look like it ain't going
- 4:29Speaker 1: to happen, keep running after it anyway. You don't know
- 4:34Speaker 1: the way. You may not know the next move. You
- 4:38Speaker 1: may not know the day that God turns the light
- 4:41Speaker 1: switch on. You're not going to know none of that.
- 4:44Speaker 1: But I'll tell you one thing though. If you stop
- 4:48Speaker 1: the pursuit of the dream. If you quit. I know this.
- 4:53Speaker 1: That that dream will never come true. That's a 1000% promise.
- 5:00Speaker 1: That if you quit. It will never ever come true.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But if you stay with it. Just the possibility that
- 5:10Speaker 1: the possibility still remains was enough for me. It was
- 5:16Speaker 1: enough for me. And when you get like that, just
- 5:19Speaker 1: ask God for a sign. Say, God, strengthen me. I
- 5:22Speaker 1: need a sign from you that everything's going to be
- 5:24Speaker 1: all right. And he'll give you one. He will give
- 5:27Speaker 1: you one. Pursue that dream, everybody. Man, make your life
- 5:31Speaker 1: worth living. Find the reason that motivates you to wake
- 5:35Speaker 1: up in the morning. Chase that dream. Don't let nobody
- 5:39Speaker 1: stop you. And you will be fine. Those are my
- 5:42Speaker 1: closing remarks today. Hope you had a good one today. Hey, listen, everybody.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Talk to God today. He would absolutely love to hear
- 5:49Speaker 1: from you. All right. Y'all stay in peace. For all
