- 0:08Speaker 2: Boy. You got me today. Boy, I ain't been like,
- 0:10Speaker 2: I ain't been bent over it.
- 0:11Speaker 1: And like that fire today, I truly needed today too.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I got. I got some good sleep last night.
- 0:25Speaker 1: All right, come on, close this out. You guys got questions, Tommy, Carl.
- 0:28Speaker 2: You guys got a question.
- 0:32Speaker 1: See where would you be if you hadn't followed your dream?
- 0:37Speaker 2: You know that's so. I've often thought of that hundreds
- 0:42Speaker 2: of times, and I think that's important for people. I
- 0:47Speaker 2: don't know. I have some theories, but let me say this.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Let me start by saying this. If I had not
- 0:54Speaker 2: followed my dream, if it would have been one of
- 1:00Speaker 2: the greatest travesties I had ever committed. And the same
- 1:07Speaker 2: goals for anybody else. If you don't follow your dream,
- 1:14Speaker 2: if you don't do that thing that keeps you up
- 1:17Speaker 2: at night, if you don't pursue that thing that you
- 1:23Speaker 2: think about NonStop, I don't care what job you own.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Your mind gravitates back to this one thing. If I
- 1:32Speaker 2: could do this, if only I was this, This is
- 1:35Speaker 2: what I really want to be. This is what I
- 1:37Speaker 2: really want to do. If you ignore that, if you
- 1:42Speaker 2: let the complications of life interfere with that, if you
- 1:48Speaker 2: allow your credit score to get in the way, if
- 1:52Speaker 2: you allow your bills to get in your way, if
- 1:56Speaker 2: you allow your family to interfere with that, it will
- 2:01Speaker 2: be one of your great regrets in life. Bishop Jake
- 2:07Speaker 2: said one time something that really really resonated with me.
- 2:11Speaker 2: He said, I would hate to die and never do
- 2:13Speaker 2: the thing that I was born to do. There are
- 2:19Speaker 2: so many people who will leave this earth with their
- 2:23Speaker 2: gift packed away very neatly on their back in a backpack.
- 2:34Speaker 2: And people don't pursue their dreams for several reasons. But
- 2:37Speaker 2: the number one reason that people do not pursue their
- 2:40Speaker 2: dreams and go for the thing they after is fear.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Fear is the number one cause of failure in this world.
- 2:48Speaker 2: The fear of failure. Fear freezes you. What if it
- 2:53Speaker 2: don't work? What if I don't make it? What if
- 2:58Speaker 2: they say no? What if I get booed? What if
- 3:03Speaker 2: they don't like me? What if somebody already down there?
- 3:10Speaker 2: What if I lose everything? What happens to my career
- 3:16Speaker 2: if I pursue my dream? Okay, you can reason away
- 3:22Speaker 2: it if you want to. You can reason it away
- 3:25Speaker 2: if you want to. It would be one of the
- 3:27Speaker 2: greatest regrets of your life. I am so grateful that
- 3:33Speaker 2: I don't have to live a life of regret. If
- 3:37Speaker 2: you are in the regret stage of your life, get
- 3:41Speaker 2: out of it. If you ain't there. I wish I
- 3:45Speaker 2: would have wished I had a I should have could
- 3:47Speaker 2: have would have stop Stop today. It's never too late
- 3:54Speaker 2: to give God a chance. God is going to turn
- 3:59Speaker 2: your life around. Business. I've seen him do it to
- 4:02Speaker 2: too many people. I've seen God. He did it to me,
- 4:07Speaker 2: point blank. He did it to me, turn my life
- 4:10Speaker 2: completely around. Oftentimes, as Carler asked a question, what would
- 4:16Speaker 2: you be doing? I was thinking of the last positions
- 4:19Speaker 2: that I had. Worked at Ford Motor Company, worked at
- 4:23Speaker 2: Lincoln Electric, worked at Generally Electric. I had a carpet
- 4:28Speaker 2: cleaning company. I had a carpet installation company. I had
- 4:32Speaker 2: a reb joint with aj Jamaal. I had I sold
- 4:38Speaker 2: door to door insurance with a book, you know, an
- 4:41Speaker 2: account book. It was called a debit debit company, where
- 4:46Speaker 2: you your insurance man used to come by the house
- 4:49Speaker 2: and collect the premiums from your mammy. It was all
- 4:52Speaker 2: in the hood I had. I had that job, man, man,
- 5:01Speaker 2: none of that even compares to what I have today.
- 5:06Speaker 2: And here's the other thing. Stop trying to figure out
- 5:12Speaker 2: your whole life, because that's impossible to do. If I
- 5:18Speaker 2: had the ability when I left my last job to
- 5:22Speaker 2: pursue this business that I'm in today, had God showed
- 5:27Speaker 2: me the pathway that I would have to take, if
- 5:30Speaker 2: he had shown me the whole journey, It's no way
- 5:34Speaker 2: I would have signed up for this. I'd have stayed
- 5:37Speaker 2: right on back there, my nice little comfortable life. Because
- 5:44Speaker 2: man o, man o, man, he cannot expose to you
- 5:50Speaker 2: what you're going to have to go through, because everything
- 5:53Speaker 2: you go through is preparing you for what you want.
- 5:56Speaker 2: And the more you want, the greater the price, the higher. Now,
- 6:01Speaker 2: if you don't want nothing, then just don't want nothing,
- 6:03Speaker 2: and then it ain't nothing gonna happen to you. But
- 6:06Speaker 2: I don't know what I would do if I had
- 6:08Speaker 2: never pursued my dreams. I don't know what you would do.
- 6:12Speaker 2: And if you're in that process right now and you're
- 6:14Speaker 2: having a life of regret, stop you only got one life.
- 6:18Speaker 2: You go around one time. Stop, go do your life, man,
- 6:23Speaker 2: because you only get one shot at it. Have a
- 6:26Speaker 2: great one today, y'all talk to God today. He'd absolutely
- 6:29Speaker 2: love to hear from you. And your gift back to God.
- 6:32Speaker 2: God's gift to you is your gift. Your gift back
- 6:34Speaker 2: to God as the use of it. That's what you
- 6:37Speaker 2: need to consider, all right. Peace for all.
