Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are, our last break of
- 0:03Speaker 1: the day. Steve, now it's time for you to drop
- 0:05Speaker 1: some knowledge with our closing remarks. What you got for
- 0:08Speaker 1: us today?
- 0:09Speaker 2: Yeah, today I want to remind everybody of something that
- 0:14Speaker 2: gets overlooked from time to time. But if you want
- 0:17Speaker 2: to be successful and you want to be happy, if
- 0:22Speaker 2: your happiness is sometimes, as it often is, tied to
- 0:27Speaker 2: your success, and if your success is Oftentimes, as it is,
- 0:33Speaker 2: it's tied to your happiness. The two kind of go
- 0:36Speaker 2: hand in hand almost. But now you have to be
- 0:40Speaker 2: using your definition of success and not somebody else's. If
- 0:45Speaker 2: you're using someone else's definition of success, you're never going
- 0:49Speaker 2: to be happy. Whether they've aimed too high for you
- 0:54Speaker 2: or they've aimed too low for you. If you're using
- 0:57Speaker 2: somebody else's aim, you're never going to be happy. because
- 1:02Speaker 2: those two are, I'm sorry, tied together. I'm happy if
- 1:09Speaker 2: I'm successful. If I'm not successful, I'm not going to
- 1:13Speaker 2: be happy because I'm going to feel like there's something
- 1:16Speaker 2: else I could be doing for my family as something
- 1:19Speaker 2: else I could be doing for my future is something
- 1:22Speaker 2: else I could be doing to make it work. And
- 1:25Speaker 2: so My success is tied to my happiness and my
- 1:28Speaker 2: happiness is tied to my success. Now, do I take
- 1:32Speaker 2: times off from all of it and just sit around
- 1:35Speaker 2: and be grateful and happy for where I am? Of course,
- 1:38Speaker 2: all the time. Gratitude is a huge part of what
- 1:41Speaker 2: the principles of success that's oftentimes too overlooked. Yeah, I
- 1:46Speaker 2: often sit around and just smell the roses, just take
- 1:49Speaker 2: a breath of fresh air and go mad. I'm awful
- 1:52Speaker 2: grateful for where I am, God. Not meaning that I
- 1:54Speaker 2: don't want more, but I oftentimes stop and thank him
- 1:58Speaker 2: for right where I am. Because where we are is
- 2:01Speaker 2: pretty good compared to where we were. But now with
- 2:05Speaker 2: all that said, let me share something with you. If
- 2:08Speaker 2: you want to be happy and successful, you are going
- 2:11Speaker 2: to have to put out a massive effort, period. Stop
- 2:17Speaker 2: thinking it's going to happen any other way. You have
- 2:20Speaker 2: got to put out a massive effort. You got to
- 2:25Speaker 2: get at it. You got to grind. You got to
- 2:29Speaker 2: want it. It's got to burn a little bit on
- 2:32Speaker 2: the inside of you. It's got to make you uncomfortable
- 2:35Speaker 2: not being where you want to be. You got to
- 2:38Speaker 2: have an I'm going to get it attitude in order
- 2:41Speaker 2: for it to get got. Period. You got to have
- 2:44Speaker 2: an I'm going to get it attitude in order for
- 2:47Speaker 2: it to get got. Period. That's the deal. No substitutions.
- 2:51Speaker 2: No alternatives. This ain't sugar. You can't use Splendor instead.
- 2:58Speaker 2: This ain't sugar. This is life. You have to go
- 3:02Speaker 2: get it. There are no alternatives. Well, you can pick
- 3:05Speaker 2: some alternatives, but you're not going to be happy and successful.
- 3:08Speaker 2: You got to get a little bit of dog in you.
- 3:11Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Everybody got to have some dog in you.
- 3:14Speaker 2: You got to have some bite back. You got to
- 3:17Speaker 2: have some fight. You're going to have to have a
- 3:19Speaker 2: little bit of kick. And sometimes the kick has to
- 3:22Speaker 2: come from yourself. You kind of quit looking for other
- 3:25Speaker 2: people to always give you that little kick in the
- 3:27Speaker 2: rear end to get you started. That little jump start
- 3:29Speaker 2: in the morning to encourage you. What if they need encouraging?
- 3:32Speaker 2: What if they ain't get their jump start for the
- 3:34Speaker 2: day and you waiting on their call and their encouraging word? Man,
- 3:38Speaker 2: let me tell you something. These are people that you
- 3:40Speaker 2: waiting on to help you. People fail all the time.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Every person needs the Lord God Almighty. So that might
- 3:47Speaker 2: be one of the mornings where they need him and
- 3:49Speaker 2: they don't have nothing for you. Take your faith out
- 3:51Speaker 2: of man, put your faith in God and get at it.
- 3:55Speaker 2: You and God can make it. That'd be great if
- 3:57Speaker 2: you had a friend along the way. Of course it
- 4:00Speaker 2: would be. But sometimes you're in a pattern where you
- 4:03Speaker 2: got to learn that it ain't nobody but you and
- 4:04Speaker 2: him sometimes. Sometimes you just need to know it ain't
- 4:09Speaker 2: nobody but you and God. That really ain't a bad
- 4:13Speaker 2: place to be. It really ain't. I've got some of
- 4:17Speaker 2: my best results out of my life when I just
- 4:20Speaker 2: asked God for the help. When I didn't call nobody
- 4:24Speaker 2: else to see what they thought about it. When I've
- 4:26Speaker 2: went to God, just God, I've gotten my best results.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I'm just going to be honest with you. But you
- 4:33Speaker 2: got to get at it though. Quit expecting God to
- 4:37Speaker 2: just bless you with something and you ain't giving him
- 4:39Speaker 2: nothing to put his finger on to touch. You make
- 4:42Speaker 2: one step, he'll make two. You got to be a
- 4:44Speaker 2: producer out here. You got to go out of here
- 4:47Speaker 2: and get out something. Quit asking God for a job
- 4:49Speaker 2: and you ain't put no applications in. Stop wasting his
- 4:53Speaker 2: time and yours too. It's like the story of a
- 4:56Speaker 2: man said, you know, I've been praying. I've been praying
- 4:59Speaker 2: to God to hit the lottery. I just been praying
- 5:02Speaker 2: to the Lord to hit the lottery. One day the
- 5:04Speaker 2: man just kept hearing him say that. He said, well,
- 5:06Speaker 2: do you play the lottery? He said, no. What kind
- 5:09Speaker 2: of prayer is that? You're praying to God to hit
- 5:11Speaker 2: the lottery, but you're not playing the lottery.
- 5:14Speaker 1: What?
- 5:15Speaker 2: That don't make no sense. If you want God to
- 5:18Speaker 2: touch your life, give him something to touch and effort.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Put in a request. Be sincere. But I've decided that
- 5:28Speaker 2: I'm going to attempt so many things that's within my
- 5:32Speaker 2: gift and in my realm that I'm going to ask
- 5:35Speaker 2: God to bless me with his grace. He got something
- 5:38Speaker 2: to bless me. He just keeps on making stuff happen
- 5:41Speaker 2: for me. He just keeps on opening doors for me.
- 5:44Speaker 2: He just keeps on putting the right people in front
- 5:47Speaker 2: of me. Oh, and it may look like the deal
- 5:49Speaker 2: ain't going to happen, as oftentimes many of them do.
- 5:51Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it always works out.
- 5:54Speaker 2: But man, you got to get at it, y'all. You
- 5:56Speaker 2: got to get off your butts and get at it.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Ain't nobody finna walk no checks up to you and
- 6:01Speaker 2: hand them to you. You got to get out here
- 6:03Speaker 2: and get at it. Dreams ain't nothing but dreams. Until
- 6:08Speaker 2: you put some work behind them, they become gold. You
- 6:11Speaker 2: got to put some work behind these drinks. That's my quote.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Y'all have a good one today. Talk to God today.
- 6:17Speaker 2: He'd absolutely love to hear from you.
