- 0:57Speaker 2: do better. You know, is just to put forth in
- 1:01Speaker 2: e F and then if it don't work, well okay.
- 1:04Speaker 2: But if you make up in your mind that I'm
- 1:05Speaker 2: going to do something, then trying isn't enough. It's getting
- 1:09Speaker 2: it done is the only thing that matters. See, it's
- 1:12Speaker 2: the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try to
- 1:15Speaker 2: win the game, or we're gonna go out here to
- 1:17Speaker 2: win the game. Now, trying to win the game means
- 1:20Speaker 2: that you could lose. But when you got in your
- 1:23Speaker 2: mind made up, most athletes will tell you that they
- 1:26Speaker 2: go out there with the full intent and purpose of
- 1:28Speaker 2: winning and winning. Only see they don't put the second
- 1:32Speaker 2: place finish on the cover Sports Illustrated. Second place don't
- 1:36Speaker 2: get you there. You you got to win. And now
- 1:39Speaker 2: take it out of the scope of athletics, but keep
- 1:41Speaker 2: it in that type of analogy in life. Man, you
- 1:45Speaker 2: just want to You want to win in life, don't you.
- 1:48Speaker 2: I mean, at the end of the day, don't you
- 1:50Speaker 2: want to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated of life.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Don't you want to be recognized for your hard work.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Don't you want, you know, to be recognized within the
- 1:59Speaker 2: bonus structured down at your job. Don't you want to
- 2:02Speaker 2: have your plaque up on the wall down at your job.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I mean most people do. Some people could care less.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Some people don't care about looking good or being their best,
- 2:10Speaker 2: and that's cool, But I ain't talking to them though.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I'm talking to you. I'm talking to those of you
- 2:15Speaker 2: who want to be the best you can be. You know,
- 2:18Speaker 2: people kill me when they getting mad at people, and
- 2:21Speaker 2: he brown knows and he all up on the employee
- 2:23Speaker 2: of the month man, the dude doing his job to
- 2:25Speaker 2: the best of his ability, and he getting recognized for it.
- 2:28Speaker 2: What they got to do with all that you're talking about?
- 2:30Speaker 2: Because you ain't up there. There's amazing, man, how people
- 2:33Speaker 2: describe other people's success. He's so lucky. Lucky? Hey, man,
- 2:38Speaker 2: do they kind of get you a little bit when
- 2:39Speaker 2: people call you lucky when let me tell you what
- 2:42Speaker 2: luck really is, y'all. Lucky is when hard work bumps
- 2:46Speaker 2: up into opportunity. Some people call that luck, But hold on,
- 2:50Speaker 2: let's think about this. If you wasn't working hard, an
- 2:53Speaker 2: opportunity presented itself, what would you call that? But see,
- 2:57Speaker 2: when you've been working hard, an opportunity presents herself and
- 3:00Speaker 2: it bumps up into each other. Now people want to
- 3:03Speaker 2: call that luck, but hold up, he got to part
- 3:05Speaker 2: though today, ain't paying no attention to Yeah, that opportunity
- 3:07Speaker 2: came by, But if you had not been working hard
- 3:10Speaker 2: and the hard work had not ran up in the opportunity,
- 3:12Speaker 2: what would you have? No, sir, it's not luck, it's work.
- 3:16Speaker 2: It is work Because there's a scripture that says faith
- 3:20Speaker 2: without works is dead. But my mama was a Sunday
- 3:24Speaker 2: school teacher. She taught me enough. Though. Now I know
- 3:27Speaker 2: difference between right and wrong, just like you do. You
- 3:30Speaker 2: ain't got to you know. It kills me when people
- 3:32Speaker 2: write a strawberry letter? Am I wrong for this?
- 3:34Speaker 1: You know?
- 3:34Speaker 2: Well? Look at this? Read your letter? Are you wrong
- 3:37Speaker 2: for this?
- 3:38Speaker 1: You know?
- 3:38Speaker 2: You're wrong? What you don't need else to be telling,
- 3:40Speaker 2: you know, But I'm gonna do this anyway. Well else hee,
- 3:42Speaker 2: Go ahead, though, do what you want to do. But
- 3:46Speaker 2: you know what, y'all, here's the best advice I can
- 3:48Speaker 2: give you. This is what I really came to talk
- 3:51Speaker 2: about this morning, but I got sidetracked because I listened.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Get out of your own way. So many of us
- 3:58Speaker 2: are blocking our home blessings. Were just in our own way.
- 4:02Speaker 2: We are in our own way, And one of the
- 4:06Speaker 2: most dangerous ways you can get in your way is
- 4:09Speaker 2: to do it your way, to get it figured your way,
- 4:13Speaker 2: and to lock in on your way. And this the
- 4:16Speaker 2: way it's got to go. Do you know how many
- 4:18Speaker 2: people are blocking their blessing? Do you know how long
- 4:21Speaker 2: I block mind? With that mindset? Right? There. Look, because
- 4:26Speaker 2: this the way you do it, you think that makes
- 4:27Speaker 2: it the right way. You think jazz, because you done
- 4:30Speaker 2: thought on it long and hard, and that's what you
- 4:32Speaker 2: really want. Do you really think that your way is
- 4:35Speaker 2: the right way or could that be a better way? See?
- 4:38Speaker 2: Until I started listening to God and started paying attention
- 4:41Speaker 2: to his way, man, I was spinning my wheels. Man,
- 4:45Speaker 2: I was out here so determined this how I was
- 4:47Speaker 2: gonna do it. But you know I had to learn
- 4:50Speaker 2: how to get out of my own way because just
- 4:52Speaker 2: because I could do it my way didn't mean it
- 4:55Speaker 2: was the right way. I had to get out of
- 4:58Speaker 2: my own way. Just get out your way, man, Now,
- 5:03Speaker 2: what what does that mean? That means, see, set your goals,
- 5:10Speaker 2: That means have your dreams. I'm saying set your goals, man,
- 5:16Speaker 2: I ain't saying don't set goals. Listen to me. Set
- 5:18Speaker 2: your goals. What is it you want to happen? What
- 5:21Speaker 2: is it you'd like to have? What is it you
- 5:23Speaker 2: like to be? What do you aspire to? Set your
- 5:26Speaker 2: goals and set your dreams. Now, take your goals and
- 5:30Speaker 2: your dreams to God and ask God to show you how, Man,
- 5:37Speaker 2: you can save yourself a lot of pain. Listen to
- 5:40Speaker 2: somebody who did it his way for so long. And
- 5:44Speaker 2: when I finally got out of my way, out of
- 5:46Speaker 2: my own way. When you've heard old people say let
- 5:50Speaker 2: go and let God. You heard them say that didn't
- 5:53Speaker 2: I didn't get it, but I got it. Now, let
- 5:56Speaker 2: go and let God. And it's amazing little saying. Now
- 6:00Speaker 2: you know you may not get it now. It took
- 6:02Speaker 2: me a bunch of years to get it too. But
- 6:04Speaker 2: when I took my goals and my dreams and my
- 6:08Speaker 2: vision to God and I said, God, this is what
- 6:11Speaker 2: I hope for, this is what I aspired to, This
- 6:13Speaker 2: is what I want to be, This is why I
- 6:15Speaker 2: would love to get to. Then I said, help me,
- 6:19Speaker 2: show me how point me in the right direction. Let
- 6:22Speaker 2: me follow your footsteps, guide me and give me a
- 6:26Speaker 2: spirit of discernment. Show me who wrong? Because I meet
- 6:29Speaker 2: people every day. Ain't up to no good with me?
- 6:31Speaker 2: Every single day? Oh man, man, I can't believe I
- 6:36Speaker 2: wunnap in to you. Man, the Lord told me something
- 6:38Speaker 2: was gonna happen to me today. Well, see I talk
- 6:41Speaker 2: to him every day. He did not mention you to me.
- 6:45Speaker 2: He ain't said nothing to me. He didn't tell me
- 6:46Speaker 2: what was gonna happen in mine now. I don't mean
- 6:48Speaker 2: it can't happen because I'm open to it. So really, man,
- 6:52Speaker 2: I'm proud, and please know I'm listening as well as
- 6:55Speaker 2: I've ever listened before. But get yourself together, though, see
- 7:00Speaker 2: know your goals and your dreams, and then let God
- 7:02Speaker 2: show you how to do it. He'll do it. You know.
- 7:05Speaker 2: It's so important, everybody, that you get focused, that you
- 7:09Speaker 2: aim for something, that you dream of, something, that you
- 7:12Speaker 2: aspire to something. But it's the most the best thing
- 7:15Speaker 2: you can do. After you do all that, Man, get
- 7:18Speaker 2: God involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean,
- 7:21Speaker 2: why would you not what you got to lose. You
- 7:23Speaker 2: ain't got to go down there and make no big
- 7:25Speaker 2: scene and run laps around the church and run up
- 7:28Speaker 2: there and throw yourself on the altar and scream and
- 7:31Speaker 2: flip over and throw money in the ad. You ain't
- 7:32Speaker 2: got to do that. This you and God, Man, This
- 7:35Speaker 2: you and God. You know you got to serve and
- 7:38Speaker 2: praise him the way you do it. You gotta let
- 7:40Speaker 2: nobody else tell you how it's done. It's a personal relationship.
- 7:43Speaker 2: People kill me if you don't do it this way.
- 7:45Speaker 2: If you don't come here to this church, and you
- 7:47Speaker 2: don't run around in this circle, and you don't get
- 7:48Speaker 2: flipped in the an. You don't. Hey man, you better
- 7:51Speaker 2: go have a relationship with God. See what that's about,
- 7:53Speaker 2: you understand, or nobody throw you off with all that.
- 7:55Speaker 2: All right, all right, y'all talk to him. He love
- 7:57Speaker 2: to hear from you. Today you could Deep Harvey Morning
