  Speaker 1: the other day and they were talking about how, man,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: they were young and they were doing things and they
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: never knew that the things that they were doing as
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a youngster would come and help form who they were today.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: As an adult, this guy is 50 years old. And,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you know, the same thing for you. If you look
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: back on your life and all of the things that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you've done, it helps shape you into who you are. Now,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: this is provided now that you take the positive approach. Now,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: when I say look back at your life and see
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: what you've done, that doesn't mean dwell on the misfortunate
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: moments because the misfortunate moments were necessary. I know it's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: hard to see that when it's happening to you, but
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the unfortunate moments are necessary. You know, what really makes
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you appreciate summer vacation is winter work. What really makes
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you appreciate a walk on the beach is when it's cold,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it's raining outside. What really makes you appreciate when you're
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: up is because you've been down. See, if you were
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: up all the time, Just the nature of us as
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: human beings, we would lose our appreciation for it because
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it becomes que sera, whatever it is. Well, it is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: what it is. I'm just a what, what, what? You
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: take it for granted. It becomes expected. But what happens
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in life is it has so many twists and turns.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And then you learn how to deal with those twists
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and turns, which makes you now a more experienced person.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And then when the sunny days come, man, you go, wow,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it's really nice outside. You really want to appreciate how
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: warm weather, just stay in a bunch of cold weather
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: all the time. You know what I'm saying? This is
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: really simple analogies, but it helps you along the way. Now,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: here's what I came to say today to everybody out there.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And this has helped me in my life. I can't
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: tell you what is done for me. But a lot
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of people are struggling with moving forward with their future,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: their future plans. their future goals, their future aspirations, their
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: future hopes, their future dreams. Just simply your future wants.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of people trying to have a hard time
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: mapping out their future. Even what I'm going to do,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to be, what I'm going to make,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: how I'm going to go about it. What do I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: do next? I want to share something with you that
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I had to come to terms with. The quickest way
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to lose focus is on your future is to keep
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: focusing on your past. You know, it's like I said
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: at the beginning, you know, when I say it's wonderful
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to look at your life and review it, because if
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you look at it, it'll tell you it really helped
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: shape and form you today as the person you are. Now,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: if you look at it in a positive sense, but
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: if you dwell and harp on the negative that's happened
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to you, then that keeps you from seeing the good
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in the incident. Every bad thing that's happened to you,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: there was a silver lining behind it. I know people
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: who were on drugs, who finally, man, just got sent
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to prison for stealing because of their habit. I know
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a character that's so dope. Well, he went to prison.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He told me one time, he said, Steve, he said, man,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: this is the best thing that ever happened to me.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: This saved my life. Now, most people would think, how
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: in the world is going to prison helpful for you.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The brother said it saved my life. First of all,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it got me clean. He said, I've been clean for
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: five years from sitting in here. That's for starters. I'm clean.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I ain't stealing no more. I ain't putting myself in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: jeopardy and I ain't jeopardizing nobody else. He said, nah, man,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I don't went to college. I didn't got a college
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: degree while I'm in here. Then he was released from
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: prison and the brother's life was completely turned around. He
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: married He got a family. He got a great job.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: He go to work every day. He's a productive citizen.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, so he looks back on his incarceration, even
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: his drug abuse, and it taught him how to appreciate
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the things in life that he had taken for granted
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and was missing. Because he said, man, my life was
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: just in a blur. I didn't even know what was
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: going on. He said, now I appreciate every day I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: wake up. That's what I mean. Even in your missteps
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: in life, there is a purpose for the missteps. Every
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: time you fail, there was a reason for the failure. See,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: what I had to do was I had to learn
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that all of my failures taught me how to get
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: back up. So I became a very strong and tough
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: person in getting back up. And then I was down
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and out so long that it taught me how to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: really appreciate the up. And so I've taken all of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that and used it, those experiences that happened to me,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and I became a more experienced person. So next time
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: when people talk about me who don't know me, it
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: don't shake me because everybody's not going to like you, man.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You might as well go and get on this train
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: right now. And so what I'm saying to you out
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: there is the quickest way to lose focus on your
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: future is to keep focusing on your past. Let it go. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: he left. Sometimes the breakup is the blessing. I know
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it's hard to break up because now you're lonely and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you're by yourself. But man, but when you in misery,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: when you was in that, weren't you in complete misery
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: in that? Now you kept asking God to fix it,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: but it take two people to fix a relationship. It
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: don't just take one. It take two to make a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: thing go right. It take two to make it out
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of sight. You really do have to have two people
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: wanting a relationship to work. It can't just be one
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: person wanting a relationship. So you can pray about the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: relationship all you want. If the other person don't want
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you no more and ain't going to act right, you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: can't make him do that. Or you can't make her
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: do that. But you steady asking God for a new relationship.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: But you are yet to be grateful that you are
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in a position to have a relationship and you keep
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: harping on the past. You don't think you hear that?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just a dude with a show and I hear
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it all the time. Let it go. Go forward. It's over.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: You made it. He brought you through it. You conquered.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You survived it. Why are you dwelling on it and
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: making it the cross around your neck when clearly he
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: had removed it for you? Now, all you got to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: do is come on. So if you're sitting behind them walls,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, I'm talking directly to you. Sometimes, man,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you just got to get it right. All this repeat
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: offender business, that's for who is that for? How ignorant
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: can you be to keep giving your life back to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the penal system? Be free, man. Walk the streets. Do
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the right thing. Ask God to help connect you. He
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: could do anything. You think he can't give you a job?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Are you serious, man? Put some faith on it. Let's
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: move forward, y'all. Let it go. Let's move. You're listening
• 7:58
