• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's been a good day. We're starting this new year
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: off in the right direction today. Yeah. Hey, you know
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: what I had to come to the realization. I kind
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of want to share this with people, but you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about there's a cost. There is
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a cost. You know, when you make the decision to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: be successful comes with a cost. And as much as
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I've tried to negate the cost, as much as I've
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: tried to alleviate the cost, as much as I've oftentimes
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: just tried to not talk up the cost, the cost
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: is real. You know. I got in trouble, not really trouble,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: but I got a bunch of haters that came online
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: one time when they saw me give a speech about
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: if you want to be successful, really really successful, it's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: something you can't sleep eight hours And I believe that,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you know, somebody counted it with Oprah says she gets
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: eight hours sleep. Well. Oprah's wealthy, though, but if you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: go back on her journey and asked her when she
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: was hustling trying to make it, what she getting eight
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think the answer would be yes. Everybody, I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: know that's grinding, that's in the hustle, trying to really
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: really have more than normal. If you want above average,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: it comes at a cost. And I've tried not to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: talk about it because I don't want to, you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: knock anybody down about it. But man, it's there's a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: cost for everything. And you know, I know a lot
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of successful people who have health is shu. I've had
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: my share of myself. Tommy can tell you about his,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Junior can tell you about his, All of us can
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: tell you about health issues. It's sometimes, you know, it
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: just it's a part of it. I don't know how
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to explain it now. You don't want to sacrifice one
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: for the other, but sometimes it's unavoidable because there is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a cost, and a lot of times you end up
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: sometimes you have health issues because you just don't know
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: any better, you know. And that's why knowledge is so important,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: because when you know better, you can do better, you know.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And had I known a long long time ago that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: everything I put into my body was gonna have an
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: effect on me, I would have made some changes a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: long long time ago. I just really started understanding this
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in the last fifteen twenty years of my life. You know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the how important eating the right thing is, how important
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it is to take supplements. How important it is to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: take regular visits to your doctor. And as black men,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I'm talking especially to black men, we find it so
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: hard to go to these doctors. I got a partner
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: right now, man that's trying to get out the hospital
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: right now because he ain't been to the doctor in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: eight years. But he's seventy and he ain't been to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the doctor in eight years. We can't do that because
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: we've been grinding. And I understood something about grinding recently.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: When you're grinding, grinding means actually to wear down. But
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: in order to have something, you got to get in
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the wear down process, and the thing you end up
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: wearing down is your body. Now, I'm not saying you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: should exchange your health for wealth. I wish that wasn't
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the cost, but oftentimes that's the cost factor, and people
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: who don't want it, you don't have to do it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But then there's a cost with being poor. To see,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: there's a cost factor when you decide not to be anything.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It's a cost factor when you decide I'm just gonna
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: ride it out, I'm just gonna mail it in. There's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a cost factor for that. I notice when old people
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: who've been working their whole life. Finally retire and they
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: don't and they able to stop being active. I watch
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: them wear down, dissipate, just wither away because that work,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that thing called the grind of getting up going to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: work every day. It gave them something to live for.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: It gave them something to do and made them active.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It's just a cost, man, But you have to decide
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: which one of the costs you want to pay. Do
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you want to pay the cost of being successful, or
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: do you want to be the cost you want to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: pay the cost of being poor. Now, when I say poor,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I mean really poor. I don't mean like if you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: make one hundred thousand dollars. I ain't talking about like that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: You're doing great, man, your life is good. I think
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: people that make one hundred thousand dollars doing fine with
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: your life. That's not what I'm saying, so please don't
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: misunderstand me. I'm talking about when you don't have enough
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to eat, you can't put a roof over your family's head,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you can't get them to the store, and then you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: got to do more. Man, you gotta do more. But
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it's a cost for it, one way or the other.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I suggest, though, if I look back on it all,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you have to find a way to create a balance.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: But the balance ain't gonna be even even, It's just
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: gotta be. You got to grind, you got to rest,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You got to grind, you got to rest, You got
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to grind, you got to rest. If you just grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: then try to rest, the cost factor's gonna be greater.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So find the balance for yourself. I can't tell anybody
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: what that is, but there is a cost to being successful,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: but there is a cost to not being successful, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you have to decide which one of the costs you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: have to pay. Now that's just real talk. You can
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: say it ain't so, but yes, it is not being
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: able to provide for your family. That's a cost being
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: able to provide for your family. There is a cost.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You have to decide which cost you're willing to pay
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and then find a balance. That's what I had to school.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So those are my closing remarks. That's it for today. Hey, listen, y'all,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: have a great day. Talk to God today. He loved
