• 0:16
  Speaker 2: whole life. My whole life is a blessing. It really is,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: in spite of all the things that's happened. Contraa to
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: having the appearances of a blessing. As I look back
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: on my life today, it all happened for a reason.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: It all came together, it tied together, and you know
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: it's important. Man. I think a lot of people that
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: asked me about my success and how I got here
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and how do I attribute in what was the steps?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you what it is. Now.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Listen to me before I get started. Please understand that
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: everything that I tell you is faith based. Everything that
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I tell you is faith based. You can double check it.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: You can go behind me. Whatever your faith is. If
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: you go back into the writings and your faith, it's
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in there. It's in there.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not telling you anything new. I'm not giving you
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a new angle. I may give you a different way
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of saying it. You know, maybe hearing it back to yourself,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: but in essence, man, I really do know that I'm
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: not going to say anything that you may not have heard,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: but I phrased it in a different kind of way.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: And so this series this week, I want to talk
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to you about how to make it kind of a
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: motivational series. And the first part, the most important component
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: of it in accomplishing what you want in your life
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: is you have to identify the dream.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: This is the critical step.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: A lot of people spend their life squandering and wandering
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: around because they never identify the dream.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You have to identify the dream.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: You have to identify what it is that you want,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: what it is that you hope for. You have to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: have a goal in mind. You have to have a destination.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: You know, when you go outside and put the key
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: in your car. You never go and put your key
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: in the car and just get in in and just drive,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you know, unless you're trying to clear your head or something.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But if you talk about going somewhere, you got to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: have a destination. You gotta have somewhere you want to go,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: or else you're just running around reburning gas. Where you're
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: going now, I don't know left here, right here, go here,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: go there. You know you must identify the dream. The
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: dream is the single most important part of the component
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to making the success out yourself. God can't bless what
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you don't have. You can't get what you never give.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Identify the dream. What is it that burns inside you
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: so it keeps you awake at night? What is it, man,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that makes you smile when you think about it? What
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: is it, man that you can't seem to quite shape? Okay,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: so you go to college, right, you make a decision,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: which I disagree with you asking eighteen to a twenty
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: one year old to make a decision or what he
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: wants to do and what he wants to be with
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the rest of his life. That's tough because guess what,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: this young person doesn't really know himself or herself yet.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So you're asking them to identify what it is at
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: an early age. What consequentially happens is that people get
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: older and they wind up doing something else, and you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: get a degree and you find out what your passion
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: is with something else. See, identifying that dream as early
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: as you can is important. Now, whether you're young, or
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: whether you're or whatever, your whatever, your identity of the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: dream is.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: That's first.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Now what you have to do then is if I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: were you. Here is the part that people never seem
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to weld together with that dream, that I want to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: be an astronaut, I want to be a doctor, I
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: want to be a club on it, I want to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: be a a DJ, I want to be a ball player,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I want to be a writer, I want to be
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a whatever it is, it doesn't matter. Somebody is that already,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and somebody had it as a dream, So it's no
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: dream too big. Okay, Once you identify the dream, here's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the thing. The best way for that to happen is
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that dream should be tied directly to your God given
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: gift or talent. See that's the part that people miss.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: You see Halle Berry on TV and you want you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: want to have on one of the dresses on the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: red carpet, and you want to stand there and get
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the award. You want to have the same people had
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to do your hair to do Halle and who do Beyonce?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: He all that's good, All that's good man, But do
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you have the talent or the gift to accomplish that? See,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: don't get outside your scope. I wanted to play in
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the NBA when I was eight years old. But something
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: happened along the way. I didn't have skill set. I
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: discovered that when I ran as fast as I could,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the basketball was never with me.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Man, that's an important part of all. You know.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I could jump, but I normally didn't have a basketball.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: So now see that passion and that dream of being
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in the NBA was not tied to my gift. My
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: gift was when I was sitting there watching them play basketball.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I was the little dude leaning against the fence that
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: had a comment about.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Everything everybody did. That was it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I was the commentator, the color commentator, and lord I
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: was funny. It was one of the few times I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: didn't stutter when I was against the fish, talking trash.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But if you took me to school, you took me
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to church, you took me in front of somebody, you
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: sent me to the store, Man, that stuttering just came
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: over the top of me. I couldn't do it. Remember
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the first time I told somebody my dream is to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: be on TV. Man, they laughed at me so hard
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: that they laughed me out the gym because I had
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: a stuttering problem.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So that caused me never to tell it again. The
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: best way to.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Accomplish your dream is you got to tie it to
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: your gift, to the talent that God has given you.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: You can't overlook that. See God never created a person
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: without giving them a talent or a gift. You have
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: something that you do, and the way to identify that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: is very simple. It is the thing that you do
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the absolute best with the least amount of effort. What
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: is that that you do that's better than you do
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: anything else with the least amount of effort. You do
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: this it's almost You can draw without you can write,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you can sing. You know how to pull stuff apart
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and put it back together. You know how to connect
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the dots and cross t's, and you know how to
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: organize things and put people together. You know how to network.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: You know how to shoot videos better than anybody. You
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: know how to calm people down when they when it's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a conflict that your school is something, they come to you,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: All your friends come to you.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: They problem.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: There's a gift and the talent. You have to identify
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: what that is. Now, if you take that gift and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: talent that you are born with and you marry it
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: into your dream, you put those two in the dream.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: That's the number one thing. And here's a deal. You
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: can never give up on the dream. I don't care
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: how old you are. There's a scripture that says a
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: man without a dream or vision shall perish. Think about this.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: If you've given up on your dream, don't it feel
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: like you're going nowhere? You have a wake up in
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the morning and just go, Man, this can't be all
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to it. It's got to be more to it than this.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: That's that seed, that dream, that talent, that gift that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: in you, that needs watering and nurturing and fertilize it
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: to come out and grow. But you got idem five. Man,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Come on, and you can't give up on your dream
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: because now you got just the job that's helping you
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: pay these bills. And now you locked into the system
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: where paying the bills is so critical and living expenses
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: on top of you that you got to keep going
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: to this job.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So now you give up on your dreams. That ain't
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: how this thing work. Man.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: You can't ever give up on the dream. It's gonna
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: be a sacrifice to do that. To follow your dream,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to let something go. That's the scary part.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: That's the part where people don't want to let go
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of the peanut to get the fruit, So you hang
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: on to your peanut. Now, the fruit out there, it's melons, grapes, bananas, pineapples,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it's out fruit is out there, But you're so busy
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: hanging on to this peanut, that job that has got
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: you locked in, and you can't go out there and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: enjoy the fruits of your life. You have to make
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a decision. A decision is based on your dream and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: your gift. If you tie those two together, why not
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: take a shot at it. I mean, what you're waiting on.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Everything I tell you is faith based, so remember that too.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Now you got to take your faith along. But it
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: starts with the dream.
