- 1:15Speaker 1: go ahead anyway and face those challenges because if you don't,
- 1:20Speaker 1: you have a whole other set of challenges to face.
- 1:24Speaker 1: You know. It's an amazing thing, man, how people sit
- 1:28Speaker 1: around and they watch other people strike out to become successful.
- 1:32Speaker 1: They sit in the stands watching these people play out
- 1:36Speaker 1: these games, and they and they, and they criticize, they boo,
- 1:40Speaker 1: they laugh at their efforts and everything, and they talk
- 1:44Speaker 1: about the failse he missed that game when he shot boy,
- 1:47Speaker 1: he sunk man, he did this. He ain't worth that.
- 1:50Speaker 1: I hear people who sit in stands who criticize people
- 1:57Speaker 1: who are out there on the playing field. Now, when
- 2:01Speaker 1: you're on the playing field, you have a set of
- 2:04Speaker 1: challenges in front of you. You're going to be open
- 2:07Speaker 1: to criticism, You're going to be open to ridicule. You're
- 2:11Speaker 1: going to be talked about when you don't know the
- 2:14Speaker 1: people who are talking about you. Now, here's the upside
- 2:22Speaker 1: to being the player on the field that's facing all
- 2:26Speaker 1: the challenges, to criticisms, the laughing, the joke, to being
- 2:29Speaker 1: talked about. He has something going for him. This person, boy, woman, child, girl,
- 2:39Speaker 1: man has an opportunity to win. They have an opportunity
- 2:46Speaker 1: to win. And in the game of life, just because
- 2:51Speaker 1: you lose one of the games or you lose one
- 2:54Speaker 1: of the matches, it don't mean you've lost. You don't
- 2:58Speaker 1: get put out. You keep playing. And when you're playing,
- 3:04Speaker 1: here's the upside. You have the opportunity to win. But
- 3:07Speaker 1: guess what. You're gonna win some of the matches. You're
- 3:10Speaker 1: gonna win some of the points. You're gonna make some
- 3:12Speaker 1: of the dunks. You're gonna hit some of them over
- 3:14Speaker 1: the wall. You're gonna hit some out the park. You're
- 3:16Speaker 1: gonna score some goals. You will if you're playing the game.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Here's the problem with the people who don't face criticism,
- 3:27Speaker 1: who nobody boos or cheers for, who sits in the
- 3:32Speaker 1: stands and knows neither victory nor defeat. Those people, without
- 3:40Speaker 1: realizing it, are facing a set of challenges also. And
- 3:45Speaker 1: the challenges they're facing is how I'm gonna live with myself?
- 3:51Speaker 1: What I'm gonna do? Now? What direction am I going in?
- 3:59Speaker 1: Where am I gonna live? Wonder what Joab will hire me?
- 4:07Speaker 1: Wonder if I can get paid for criticizing all? Woe
- 4:12Speaker 1: is me? I can't find the purpose in my life.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And man, I'm just waking up in a state of confusion.
- 4:21Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. Now. Let me ask
- 4:24Speaker 1: you something, which one of them set the challenges you'd
- 4:27Speaker 1: rather be faced with? Because if I'm on the flow playing,
- 4:31Speaker 1: if I'm on the field playing, if I'm out on
- 4:34Speaker 1: the court playing, then guess what I got a chance
- 4:38Speaker 1: at winning. But guess what I'm doing every day while
- 4:41Speaker 1: I'm playing. I'm strategizing. I'm waking up with a purpose.
- 4:45Speaker 1: I'm waking up trying to come up with another angle.
- 4:50Speaker 1: I'm in pursuit of a goal every single day. Versus
- 4:56Speaker 1: the people in the stands who know neither victory nor defeat.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Get in the game, face the challenges. Better yourself, better
- 5:11Speaker 1: your wife, better your children, better your condition, better your
- 5:14Speaker 1: employment status, better your job, better your career. Take a shot.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Come on, man, what you waiting on? Because the alternative
- 5:22Speaker 1: is to watch other people play the game? You know
- 5:26Speaker 1: what I just do? Sometimes sometimes I just I get
- 5:29Speaker 1: Forbes magazine or Money magazine, or sometimes I still grab
- 5:33Speaker 1: a copy of the rob Report. I just flip through
- 5:37Speaker 1: it just to see. I used to get this book
- 5:40Speaker 1: called Unique Homes. Unique Homes is a magazine that just
- 5:44Speaker 1: has a lot of extravagant houses that's on sale across
- 5:47Speaker 1: the country, across the world. I used to flip through. Man,
- 5:51Speaker 1: let me just see, man, what the people that's playing
- 5:54Speaker 1: the game out there doing. Stop watching other people become
- 5:58Speaker 1: successful when you could very easily be you if you
- 6:02Speaker 1: make the decision. But when you make the decision to
- 6:05Speaker 1: become successful, get ready for a series of challenges. I
- 6:09Speaker 1: think it's more difficult not to accept the challenge. I
- 6:14Speaker 1: think it's for me. This is just for me. It
- 6:16Speaker 1: may not be the case for you. For me, I
- 6:18Speaker 1: think it's far more difficult to wake up and just
- 6:20Speaker 1: see how life gonna go today, because, man, it could
- 6:23Speaker 1: just deal you any kind of hand today. You understand
- 6:29Speaker 1: I don't like you know, spades. Let's talk a card game,
- 6:33Speaker 1: for example, the game of spades. Really, man, it ain't
- 6:36Speaker 1: a whole lot you can do if you don't get
- 6:38Speaker 1: no spades. Really, it's a little couple of little strategies
- 6:42Speaker 1: you're gonna do. But you can have all this age, king, queen,
- 6:45Speaker 1: diamond all you want. But man, you ain't got no spades.
- 6:47Speaker 1: They cutting them. You're in trouble. Be it. With different game.
- 6:52Speaker 1: You can create what's in your hand. You got dealt
- 6:55Speaker 1: a hand too, But you can create a hand. You
- 6:58Speaker 1: can call a trump. You can make diamonds your spades.
- 7:02Speaker 1: You can make hard to clubs your spades. That's what
- 7:05Speaker 1: I'm saying. You can do something with it. It's a
- 7:07Speaker 1: different game, man. You can strategize. I would rather have
- 7:11Speaker 1: a say so in my life than to wake up
- 7:13Speaker 1: every day and just see how it's going. I think
- 7:16Speaker 1: it's more difficult to not accept the challenge to be
- 7:19Speaker 1: something than it is to accept the challenge to be something.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I think it's more difficult to sit around and not
- 7:25Speaker 1: be nothing. I think it's harder to watch everybody life
- 7:28Speaker 1: going somewhere but mine. I think it would be very
- 7:31Speaker 1: difficult for me to sit here and hear them talking
- 7:34Speaker 1: about other people that never mentioned my name. That would
- 7:36Speaker 1: be difficult for me. To see everybody rise and getting
- 7:39Speaker 1: promotions accept me, that would be difficult for me. It
- 7:43Speaker 1: may not be for you, but for me, it would
- 7:45Speaker 1: be quite challenging. I would rather accept the challenge of
- 7:48Speaker 1: making something out of my life than to sit there
- 7:51Speaker 1: and criticize those and then watch and see how my
- 7:55Speaker 1: life just may go. Okay, just a thought today listening
