• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know what I had to come to the realization.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Kind of want to share this with people, but you know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about there's a cost. There is
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a cost. You know, when you make the decision to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: be successful comes with a cost. And as much as
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I've tried to negate the cost, as much as I've
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: tried to alleviate the cost, as much as I've oftentimes
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: just tried to not talk up the cost, the cost
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: is real. You know, I got in trouble, not really trouble,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: but I got a bunch of haters that came online
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: one time when they saw me give a speech about
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: if you want to be successful, really really successful as something,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you can't sleep eight hours And I believe that, you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: somebody counted it with Oprah says she gets eight hours sleep. Well.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Oprah's wealthy, though, but if you go back on her
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: journey and asked her when she was hustling trying to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: make it what she getting eate, I don't think the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: answer would be yes. Everybody I know that's grinding, that's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in the hustle, trying to really really have more than normal.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: If you want above average, it comes at a cost.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And I've tried not to talk about it because I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: don't want to, you know, knock anybody down about it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But man, there's a cost for everything. And you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of successful people who have health issues.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I've had my share of myself. Tommy can tell you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: about his, Junior can tell you about his. All of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: us can tell you about health issue. It's sometimes, you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it just it's a part of it. I don't know
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: how to explain it now. You don't want to sacrifice
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: one for the other, but sometimes it's unavoidable because there
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is a cost. And a lot of times you end
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: up sometimes you have health issues because you just don't
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: know any better, you know, And that's why knowledge is
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: so important, because when you know better, you can do better,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you know. And had I known a long long time
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: ago that everything I put into my body was gonna
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: have an effect on me, I would have made some
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: changes a long long time ago. I just really started
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: understanding this in the last fifteen twenty years of my life.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You know, the how important eating the right thing is,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: how important it is to take supplements, how important it
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is to take regular visits to your doctor. And as
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: black men, I'm talking especially to black men. We find
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it so hard to go to these doctors. I got
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a partner right now, man that's trying to get out
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the hospital right now because he ain't been to the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: doctor in eight years. But he's seventy and he ain't
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: been to the doctor in eight years. We can't do
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that because we've been grinding. And I understood something about
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: grinding recently. When you're grinding, grinding means actually to wear down.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But in order to have something, you got to get
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in the wear down process, and the thing you end
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: up wearing down is your body. Now, I'm not saying
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you should exchange your health for wealth. I wish that
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: wasn't the cost, but oftentimes that's the cost factor, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: people who don't want it you don't have to do it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But then there's a cost with being poor. To see,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: there's a cost factor when you decide not to be anything.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's a cost factor when you decide I'm just gonna
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: ride it out, I'm just gonna mail it in. There's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a cost factor for that. I notice when old people
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: who've been working their whole life fire retire and they
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: don't and they to stop being active. I watch them
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wear down dissipate, just wither away because that work, that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: thing called the grind of getting up going to work
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: every day. It gave them something to live for, It
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: gave them something to do, It made them active. It's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: just a cost, man, But you have to decide which
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: one of the costs you want to pay. Do you
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: want to pay the cost of being successful, or do
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you want to be the cost you want to pay
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the cost of being poor. Now, when I say poor,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I mean really poor. I don't mean like if you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: make one hundred thousand dollars. I ain't talking about like that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You're doing great, man, your life is good. I think
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: people are that that make one hundred thousand dollars doing
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: fine with your life. That's not what I'm saying, so
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: please don't misunderstand me. I'm talking about when you don't
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: have enough to eat, you can't put a roof over
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: your family's head, you can't get them to the store.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And then then you got to do more, man, You
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: got to do more. But it's a cost for it,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: one way or the other. I suggest, though, if I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: look back on it, all, you have to find a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: way to create a balance. But the balance ain't gonna
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: be even even it's just gotta be. You got to grind,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you got to rest. You got to grind, you got
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to rest, You got to grind, you got to rest.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: If you just grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: then try to rest, the cost factors gonna be greater.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So find the balance for yourself. I can't tell anybody
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: what that is, but there is a cost to being successful,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: but there is a cost to not being successful. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you have to decide which one of the costs you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: have to pay. Now that's just real talk. You can
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: say it ain't so, but yes, it is not being
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: able to provide for your family. That's a cost being
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: able to provide for your fam. There is a cost.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: You have to decide which cost you're willing to pay
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and then find a balance in there. That's what I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: had to discover. So those are my closing remarks. That's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it for today. Hey, listen, y'all, have a great day.
• 6:13
