So excuse me also. So today we're going to be
1:43

1:48
the believer, the purpose driven person.
1:53
And tonight we're going to be talking about the fortitude to
1:55
finish, for the two to finish the strength to keep going when
1:59
the motivation runs out. So when you start something,
2:06
it's exciting, it's new, it's fresh.
2:09
It's it's like you want to tell everybody about it.
2:13
You want to, hey, I'm writing this book.
2:14
Hey, I'm starting this business. Hey, I got this podcast.
2:17
Hey, I got this YouTube channel. Hey, I got this trucking
2:21
business. What a book don't matter.
2:23
Whatever it is, you want everybody to know about it,
2:26
right? Everybody.
2:29
But what happened when the disappear, when the excitement
2:33
disappears, when people stop clapping, like, OK, good for
2:38
you. Now where the product at?
2:42
What happens? What happens when the assignment
2:45
becomes difficult, expensive, lonely?
2:48
Because you're going to be lonely, inconvenient and
2:50
painful. What happens when that when that
2:55
motivation is no longer enough, what happens?
3:00
You need, you need fortitude. You need fortitude.
3:03
For the people who don't know, fortitude is the courage and the
3:07
strength to continue through difficulty, adversity,
3:11
discomfort and delay. It is the inner determination
3:16
that says I'm tired, but I'm not finished.
3:20
I may need the rest, but I would not surrender.
3:23
I may have to change my strategy, but I would not
3:26
abandoned my assignment. How many of y'all out there has
3:30
been in this place? I know I've been in it numerous
3:35
times. You know with starting Man Talk
3:39
133 building out the brand, you know, do going into the clothing
3:46
line side of things fashion side of it.
3:50
You know I even designed shoes before y'all.
3:52
So is is is you got to have the fortitude to finish and the
3:56
scripture that I want to you know, give you guys tonight is
4:00
Galatians 6 and 9. Let us not be weary and well
4:03
doing or in due season we shall reap if we faint not So let us
4:11
not be weary and well doing. If you don't know where we
4:13
remain, don't we weak? That would have been basically
4:18
that's what I mean don't we don't don't give up, don't quit.
4:22
You know what I'm saying? Because sometimes you're going
4:24
to you're going to become tired. I'm telling y'all now this is,
4:28
you know, sometimes a push even now.
4:31
And I've been doing this show for I would say 2 years.
4:36
And sometimes now it's a push because as a creators, you're
4:40
going to hit a wall as content creators and as creative people,
4:45
you're going to hit a wall where you just, you run out of ideas
4:50
and you run out of just, and you got to reinvent yourself.
4:55
Not saying that you, that you like the talent, not saying that
4:58
you are not a creative, still not a creative person.
5:03
Every person hits that wall where they just, they top out
5:06
sometimes. And that's when you got, that's
5:09
when the fortitude to finish kicks in.
5:13
You know, I was talking about this not too long ago that you
5:18
know, as as content creators, you got the pause reset and know
5:25
why you started doing this from the beginning.
5:29
So you don't need another opportunity.
5:34
You need the discipline to develop and finish what you
5:37
already got in front of you. So some people have started,
5:42
man, probably 10 or 12 different things and still ain't finished
5:47
one of them yet. They just got, you know, I
5:50
started this and, and, and then, you know, I, I know I can do
5:55
this too. And, but, but then you just got
5:58
like all these different ideas and things that are just in
6:03
place, but neither, none of them are finished.
6:06
None. So now you're sitting like five
6:12
years later, got all these great ideas and still ain't finished
6:17
one of them. And then that puts you in a
6:19
frustrating position because you like now, I mean, people
6:23
expecting me to do this now I don't have the fortitude to
6:27
finish. So the word for the night,
6:30
y'all, is finish. You better finish.
6:34
You better finish. So most people love the
6:40
beginning, they love the take out, they love the, the, the
6:43
they feel a possibility and just endless ideas and they're just
6:47
flowing all over the place. And I know my, the energy is
6:51
high, the vision is high. They can see clear the I mean,
6:55
they just got it all right. You start a business, you
7:01
imagine like, you know what, man, I start this business.
7:04
I ain't got to get up and do just 9 to 5 or whatever your
7:07
schedule is. I work for me now.
7:11
But then when they get into the business, they understand that
7:14
it's longer be longer than a nine to five.
7:17
Is it going to be a whatever before you open to hours after
7:23
you close? So some days you may have been
7:25
there 1516 hours, who knows, right?
7:30
But get you begin a workout and you imagine my body is going to
7:35
be you just wait and see all the people who doubted me waiting.
7:41
You see that there's new body. And then you get into the
7:46
workout, muscles get a little sore, like, oh, oh man, my arm's
7:55
sore. And I and you know, I, I think I
7:57
may overdid it at the gym. And guess what?
7:59
You quit. So I normally tell people when
8:04
you work, when you start working out, start where you can start.
8:06
Don't start where somebody's been doing it for 7-8 years
8:11
because you're going to put yourself in a bad position.
8:14
Start where you can start. Excuse me, Work your way up.
8:17
You accept the new assignment and imagine the impact like you
8:20
know what? Or they put me in this position.
8:24
You watch how I turn this company around.
8:26
I'm telling you, you wait and then they give you the
8:29
assignment and then guess what? It's harder than what you
8:34
thought. You're like, oh boy, this is way
8:38
harder than what I imagined. But you got to have the
8:43
fortitude to finish you writing a book and you imagine holding
8:47
the book up as a best seller. You know what I'm saying?
8:50
The New York Times bestseller, everybody think they book going
8:53
to be the best seller when they write it.
8:55
Everybody hold it up. It's going to be a best selling
8:58
book and then when you in there writing it, you get writer's
9:05
block and then you can't remember how to finish that.
9:10
You get stuck in a chapter for two years.
9:14
I mean, it's like you still stuck in that same chapter for
9:16
two years. And let me tell y'all something.
9:19
So y'all, one of that gets just y'all, you know, I'm I got a
9:24
book I've been working on for a minute.
9:27
Another one thing on lie and it's it's tough.
9:32
It's a tough, it's tough because I'm going to tell y'all why?
9:35
So I was writing a book, right? And I typed all this up in in my
9:38
computer and then I lost the stuff that I wrote.
9:42
So now I got to go back and retype everything I typed and
9:47
add some other stuff to it. So don't get weary and don't
9:52
faint. You got to have a fortitude to
9:54
finish. I'm talking to myself tonight
9:56
too. I got to have a fortitude to
9:57
finish the book that I'm writing, that I'm working on,
10:01
that I've been, you know, that I working on, and I put it to the
10:04
side, you know what I'm saying? So I got to go back to pick it
10:08
back up, you know what I'm saying?
10:11
But eventually every beginning end is what is called the
10:14
difficult middle. The middle is where the
10:18
excitement fades, but the finish line is still far away that you
10:24
can you know, it's you can finish it, but just as you just
10:28
it's the finish line. You're like, it's just like
10:30
running, you know, running the race.
10:33
You know, you still see the you can see the finish line, which
10:36
is like where this is. I'm burning out.
10:38
I can't do it. You'd invest it so much.
10:43
Let me say it like this. Let me, let me, let me give you
10:45
all some some hope, right. If you invested money in it, do
10:52
you want to lose your money? Absolutely not.
10:57
You want to keep pushing so that you can go ahead and get a
11:02
return on your investment. So don't quit.
11:05
I don't care how big or how small, right?
11:08
I'm just trying to motivate y'all tonight.
11:09
Tonight is about the fortitude to finish.
11:14
Fortitude to finish. You got to have it.
11:16
You got to have it now the middle is where you start asking
11:20
yourself these questions because the beginning is exciting.
11:24
It's just like, yo, it's so exciting.
11:27
I gotta yo, I got this idea and I got this the book cover.
11:31
You didn't got the book cover done before.
11:33
You didn't got the book a page written in it.
11:37
You kind of like you motivated you happy, but this is where the
11:41
middle is when you start. Did I make the right decision?
11:47
Did God really tell me to do this?
11:50
That's the one where people start.
11:52
They're looking for an excuse to get out.
11:54
Did God really tell me to do this?
11:56
Because I don't know. Hey, God, they said God make
11:59
things easy. You know, I don't know if God
12:02
told me to do this, Am I wasting my time?
12:06
Why is this taking so long? I'll tell you why it's taking so
12:09
long. It's taking so long because of
12:11
you. You got to push.
12:13
You got to push. It's like having a women, excuse
12:17
me, I'm sorry about that. It's like women having babies.
12:20
You got to push the baby out and baby, some babies ain't going to
12:25
just come out. You got to push them mugs out.
12:27
And just like this right here, like why is it taking so long
12:31
because of you? You got to stand in the mirror,
12:34
look at just like, hey, you know what?
12:35
It is me. I am taking too much time with
12:40
this last chapter. Even if you got to write it and
12:44
then go back and read through it and see what you left out, just
12:49
you trust me. Why is it taking so long as you
12:52
trust me? And when you start it, you got
12:54
to finish. Why does it seem to be easier
12:57
for everybody else? How you know it was easy for
13:00
them? Y'all looking at the finished
13:01
product? The finished product always
13:04
looks easy. You know what I mean?
13:06
Like when, when somebody to finish something, you don't know
13:09
what they've been through to get to it, you know, so they got
13:12
like 4-5 books, but you don't know, you know how, you know the
13:18
process. And some people, you know, they
13:20
do have what they call the scribal anointing that they can,
13:24
you know, they just write books. They just can write them, write
13:26
them, write them, write them, write them, write them, write
13:27
them. But everybody ain't got that.
13:30
So you know it, it may look easy to you because you're looking at
13:35
the finished product, but it may not be easy for them when they
13:40
was doing that may have been in the same spot that you're in.
13:44
You know, you never know, right? Why am I working so hard without
13:51
seeing any results? Let me tell you from like being
13:56
work, working out for the last, I don't know, five years you and
14:02
and being married for the last 27 years.
14:04
You going to get out of it what you put into it.
14:09
You can go in the gym just to say you're going in the gym and
14:14
that's what the results you're going to get.
14:16
You just going in the gym, sitting there on a thing.
14:20
You do a couple workouts and then you get on your phone and
14:23
then you start texting and then you you know, people call you
14:27
are you in the gym be talking and and for you know what hour
14:30
gone by you have done hardly zero workout.
14:34
So I'm telling you, I'm telling you now listen, listen, you have
14:42
to, you have to have the fortitude to finish, y'all.
14:47
That's the only way you're going to, that's the only way you're
14:49
going to get the results you need or want to see at the gym
14:53
or anywhere else. Will you write a book or
14:55
business or whatever you put into it?
14:57
Marriage, whatever what you get out of it.
14:59
I'll be right back after the break y'all.
15:01
Stats tell that each day 22 veterans commit suicide due to
15:05
PTSD. These stats shook us and urged
15:09
us to do our part. After hours and hours of
15:12
thinking, beekeeping for veterans was born.
15:15
Beekeeping for veterans combines beekeeping with mindfulness
15:19
meditation. Why combine them?
15:21
Here's why. Beekeeping causes positive rush
15:25
of adrenaline. While beekeeping you have to be
15:28
calm during it. You are mindful of your
15:31
movements. Each week, a veteran will
15:33
receive a mindful meditation to build emotional and mental skill
15:37
sets. Mindfulness is a set of three
15:40
attentional skills that work together concentration, sensory
15:44
clarity and equanimity, mental calmness, composure, evenness of
15:49
temper. Every time mindfulness is
15:51
practiced, we build these skills.
15:53
Beekeeping for veterans not only helps veterans overcome
15:57
emotional trauma but also aids our environment as without bees
16:01
there is no come forward. The people who have supported
16:05
your country now need your support.

16:33
Welcome back to Man Talk 133 with me and you, Nate.
16:38
We talk about 42 to finish the night.
16:41
Y'all 42 to finish. Listen, I'm going to tell y'all
16:45
straight off the top. If you're trying to do anything
16:50
and finish it, you have to have the 42 to finish it.
16:56
You ain't got 42. You ain't got 42.
17:00
You in trouble, I'm sorry you just you're in a bad.
17:03
You might just go and quit now. Don't forget out at the
17:07
beginning of the show. I said check out the platform.
17:09
Don't forget to check out man talk 1 to 33 apparel company.com
17:15
check it out. Go see what I got y'all y'all
17:18
might find some of y'all like I don't know right so now this is
17:23
we're talking about the middle. So so the middle is where many
17:29
good dreams are buried, where people have dreams, but they get
17:34
buried right in the middle of stage.
17:37
So they left the finish line and they get middle way to race
17:40
right and the finish line is so far away.
17:44
They don't want to push to get to the finish line.
17:48
So they kind of like, you know, I, I just rest here for a
17:52
minute, you know, but you can't because listen, the middle's
18:00
where the dream were dreams. You get better not because the
18:02
dream was impossible, but the dreamer was unprepared.
18:06
You are unprepared for the pressure between promise and
18:09
completion, right? The promise as well.
18:12
You know, the boy I like. I know I could do this.
18:14
This is this is my thing. I know I can, but when the
18:19
pressure come and you start spending money and you start,
18:23
you know, investing because you had to invest in yourself.
18:26
Y'all, I'm sorry you had to invest in yourself.
18:29
I don't understand OPM other people's money, but if you don't
18:34
have enough, if you don't believe in your dream enough,
18:41
who going us going to believe in and want to invest in it?
18:43
You got to invest your own. You got to.
18:46
We love to celebrate people at the finish line, but we rarely
18:49
see what they survive in the middle.
18:52
If you can make it through the middle, you can make it through
18:56
the middle. You'll be just fine.
18:57
Like for example, and I keep going back this radio show,
19:00
right, the radio show shout out to Joe Membi radio dot U.S.
19:04
military broadcast radio for giving man talk 133 a shot,
19:08
right. But the YouTube channel was
19:12
first and people got to understand you always going to
19:17
start with one You can you just you're going to start with one
19:21
subscriber. People look at all these other
19:24
channels and they see, you know, the 10, the the 10 million and
19:30
100,000 and 50,000. You see the little plaques
19:34
behind them and all this other stuff like that.
19:36
You got to start with one. You got to start with just one.
19:40
Once you start with one, then you can grow it Started with
19:45
one. Now I'm thinking about 17,000
19:48
subscribers and it's still growing.
19:50
Not where I wanted to be, but hey, it's I didn't quit.
19:54
I ain't quit in the middle when I kept pushing, you know what
19:58
I'm saying? So we see the successful
20:01
business, but we don't see the years when the owner struggled
20:05
to attract customers. Doesn't This is what I was just
20:07
saying. You don't see what's in the
20:09
middle of you. You see the finished product.
20:13
It's like marriage. We see a strong marriage.
20:16
People been together 60 years. But we don't see like the
20:22
conversations, the hard conversations, you know, the
20:25
therapy, the forgiveness, the growth, the sacrifices, all that
20:29
stuff it took to align it, the marriage like it is now like 60
20:35
years later, 60 years strong, but the whole 60 years was not
20:42
strong. You know, I'm just, I mean, I
20:43
hate to say it like that because some people will tell you, you
20:46
know, he was in math for 80 years.
20:48
We had no problem. Don't do that.
20:51
Y'all setting people up for failure.
20:53
You got to tell people the real deal.
20:56
If you had issues in your marriage, you just had issues in
20:59
your marriage and y'all corrected them and that's what
21:01
it was. Don't tell people you ain't
21:03
never had no issues and they're going to be like, well, y'all,
21:06
if y'all ain't had no issues, what we going through must not
21:09
be an issue. We're going to just push right
21:11
on through that and just fuss through it and fight through it
21:14
and all that because nobody told them that that's an issue.
21:18
So you got to people that have been through these marriages.
21:22
Y'all got wisdom. Give it to the people, man.
21:26
Like you know, like you've been married for fifty 6070 years.
21:28
Tell people how you got to the fifty 6070 years instead of just
21:32
saying our marriage was great. I'm tell you right now, one of
21:36
the best decisions I ever made. And you know, we just we just
21:41
you know, we just here now how you get there, you know what I
21:44
mean? So people need to know this type
21:46
of stuff. You see a successful ministry,
21:48
you know, pastors have, you know, 3040 year anniversaries,
21:53
but nobody see when they was in there, we were just him and his
21:58
wife and his one two kids and mom in law.
22:01
And you know, and and you know the one guy that said, you know
22:05
what, I ain't got nothing to lose.
22:08
I'm I will go in here with him anyway.
22:10
You know, I ain't got nothing to lose.
22:11
So I'm gonna go see what's happening.
22:17
One of the fastest thing is the guy that ain't going to be the
22:20
move ever made, You know what I mean?
22:23
They don't see the empty seats. They don't see the rejection,
22:26
they don't see the criticism. They don't see none of that when
22:30
people trying to grow different things.
22:32
But what they all have in common is the fortitude to finish.
22:36
You know, you see people with degrees, you know, like 5°.
22:41
I don't want 5°, man, I wish I can at least get I, I let me get
22:47
1°, you know, and, and, and guess what?
22:52
Guess what ends up happening. They don't see the late nights,
22:56
they don't see the investment, they don't see the sacrifice.
23:00
They don't see the wear and tear on your body.
23:02
They don't see the times people wanted to quit and say, you know
23:05
what man, forget this. I don't want this degree.
23:08
This degree sucks. I don't want it.
23:11
People don't see that, you know what I mean?
23:14
So we got to stop looking at the finished product and people see
23:20
it. People do it all the time.
23:21
They see people on the highway, you know what, this one got a
23:25
Lamborghini or Ferrari or what they got a, you know, a Rolls
23:30
Royce or a Bentley. You know, I want one of them.
23:33
I wonder what they do a lot of sacrificing.
23:36
Now, granted, some people were born with the parents did all
23:41
the sacrificing and the kids just reap the benefits of the
23:44
sacrificing, but somebody had to sacrifice.
23:48
You get it. We see championships, how these
23:51
guys, football, basketball, baseball, hockey, WNBA&B, all of
23:56
these we see every all, all these championship.
23:59
It looks so easy to us. But the sacrifice, the injuries,
24:03
the losses, the people being away from home and you know, all
24:07
these things like that, you know what I'm saying?
24:11
Being away from missing birthdays and and all that stuff
24:15
like that, but they just see the championship, them holding up,
24:20
whatever championship they are. Let's use LeBron James for an
24:23
example. I know a lot of people don't
24:26
like LeBron, right? But him and Tom Brady have
24:34
longevity. It's because they have the
24:38
fortitude to finish. They wanted to keep playing.
24:41
LeBron still playing, I think he was 2122 years in.
24:45
Tom Brady played what, 2021 years or whatever he played and
24:51
they just had to fortitude. They, they, they loved what they
24:54
were doing. But people look at the finished
24:57
product, how LeBron can, you know, do what he do, but they
25:00
don't look at how many shots and stuff he put up.
25:03
So y'all get what I'm saying. Ain't going to be repetitive
25:05
about that, but y'all get it. Motivation says I feel like
25:10
doing a discipline says I'm going to do it whether I feel
25:13
like it or not. You motivated, you know you got
25:17
motivation Speaking can make folk, you know, give them
25:20
$100,000 no problem Be motivated.
25:24
Yes I'm, I'm, I believe I can do this.
25:28
You know I'm going to sow this $100,000 and then after the
25:32
motivation we're off. They got to have discipline
25:35
because now you didn't drop 100,000 dollars and something,
25:39
so you got to be able to keep going. 42 says even under
25:43
pressure, I will remain courageous, discipline and
25:46
faithful to the assignment. 42 does not mean you never feel
25:52
fear. You never feel fear.
25:56
You're going to feel fear and these I'm telling you, when you
26:02
put up a video or you put out a book or you put out a design
26:10
like your clothing or whatever it is you doing, the fear hits
26:17
about, hey, you know what? I don't know about you to drop
26:20
that. Ain't nobody going to buy that.
26:21
You stop playing all these thoughts in your head like you
26:24
know, I don't and you know, I don't know if I should have did
26:27
that because ain't nobody going to buy it.
26:28
Ain't nobody going to watch it. Then you turn on to go check on
26:32
your stat, your, your analytics and you see like 1 subscriber A1
26:38
view or whatever the case may be.
26:41
But you got to keep going. Keep going.
26:44
Y'all. I'm telling y'all that it's
26:45
going to be worth it. I'm telling you it's going to be
26:48
worth it. 42 does not mean you never experienced doubt.
26:52
You going doubt you going to want to quit.
26:54
You're definitely going to do that.
26:56
I'm telling you, do not make a permanent decision doing
27:02
temporary moments, moments of of exhaustion.
27:05
Let me say that again, do not make permanent decisions during
27:09
moments of exhaustion. If you're tired, put it down,
27:15
step away from it, and then come back.
27:20
It's all you got to do. Do not in the middle of you
27:23
being frustrated so I quit. You know what?
27:25
I hate this. I should have never started
27:28
this. Don't do it.
27:30
I'm telling you, you you're going to miss out because if you
27:34
haven't a vision and an idea and you see what the vision, you see
27:39
what it's supposed to look like. This is what just imagine it.
27:42
What a Walt Disney guy. What if he had?
27:45
What if he had quit? Yeah, I want to be going to
27:48
Disney when we going to Disney World see Mickey in them.
27:52
You know what I'm saying? He had a vision and he just saw
27:55
it. And then that's still growing,
27:57
growing out so many year. It's Steve Jobs, I had to quit.
28:02
Y'all wouldn't be on the Apples and the Macs, the iPhones.
28:07
So you can't quit y'all. Do not make them say it again.
28:10
Do not make a permanent decision doing temporary moments of
28:16
exhausting. Don't don't do what I'm telling
28:20
y'all. So sometimes the vision is not
28:24
wrong. The strategy needs to be
28:26
changed. Like you can have a vision.
28:30
He's like, you know, I wonder why I ain't getting this, ain't
28:32
getting that. And this happens a lot in the
28:34
social media space because that's where I'm in, you know,
28:37
the kind of social media space and the radio space and stuff
28:41
like that. So if you're, if this is not the
28:44
vision is is division you're supposed to have, but the
28:54
strategy got to change. Your marketing may have to
28:56
change your thumbnails may have to change your the way you're
29:01
looking at things may have to change.
29:03
You may have to be like, hey, you know what, you know, maybe I
29:08
should start looking at it this way, or maybe I should market it
29:12
a different way. Maybe maybe this is not the lane
29:17
I need to be in. Maybe I need to change my niche
29:20
and where I'm recording and try some different.
29:23
Maybe I'm not a clothing designer.
29:25
Maybe I need to try something else.
29:27
Maybe I'm pushing this design thing, right?
29:31
That's not for me, you know, Maybe I need to, you know, look
29:37
at, I don't know, just designing drawing designs and selling
29:41
them. Maybe that may may need maybe
29:42
your strategy, your strategy may not be making them.
29:46
It may just be designing them, may not be selling them.
29:49
You design them for people you know, and then you become one of
29:52
the biggest designs is because your designs are crazy out there
29:57
and everybody love them. So maybe you need to change the
30:00
strategy. Y'all.
30:01
We'll be right back after the I like you saying we.
30:05
I will be right back after the break y'all.

Military broadcast radio, the station that's giving veterans a

US. Opinions expressed in this
31:15

31:19

31:25
Welcome back to Man Talk 133 where man unite, Yo, we're in
31:30
the building talking about the 42 to finish fortitude to
31:35
finish. You got to have it got these
31:38
great ideas and they running through your mind 100 mph and
31:43
you just grab a handful of these ideas and then you don't finish
31:47
none of it. That's that's not what you need
31:50
to be doing. You need to be grabbing these
31:52
ideas and finishing it because I gave you told you in the middle
31:59
is where most these things are buried.
32:02
When you don't finish it, it's just what it is.
32:05
You just you can see the end line that you know the
32:09
beginning, you see the finish line, but the finish line is so
32:13
far away, right? So I'm just saying don't quit.
32:17
Military veterans understand when you accept the mission, you
32:22
got to go and finish the mission.
32:25
It requires preparation, teamwork, focus, and endurance.
32:30
If you don't have that, don't go join the military and playing
32:34
messing with people. You get a lot of folk killed out
32:37
there because you don't really don't have the fortitude you get
32:41
in the middle of it because you know why when you talk to the
32:44
recruiter or they had these uniforms nice and pressed.
32:48
Oh, they was clean gig line straight.
32:51
Or I'm talking about they talking smooth.
32:53
They got the collars laid down. All that shoes shine and you
32:58
like, yo, I think I want to do that.
33:02
I really do think I want to do that.
33:04
And then you join in based on an emotion because you like you're
33:09
motivated because of the recruiting, because of the
33:12
uniform motivate. I want that uniform.
33:16
And then when you get the uniform it requires, I'm going
33:21
to say it again, preparation, teamwork, focus and endurance.
33:28
If you don't got that, and I did say you, if you don't got, if
33:33
you don't got that, don't go playing with the military.
33:36
Let them let the people that really want to be in the
33:38
military go be in the military. It's a serious job, y'all.
33:43
It's very serious. You got the man on your left,
33:46
the right front behind you, counting on you not to make
33:50
stupid decisions to get everybody killed.
33:55
So it's serious, you got to have a fortitude to finish the
34:02
mission. You can't get in the middle of a
34:04
mission and quit. Go to basic training, you
34:08
wasting everybody time you get there and just because you got
34:11
to do if they push you to do 5 more push ups, you quit.
34:16
I can't do it. I could I can't do it.
34:19
And they just trying to see how far you going to go, you know
34:23
how much you going to push yourself, how much fortitude you
34:27
got and y'all quit before it even start.
34:32
Don't do that. You know what ain't in here?
34:34
If it ain't in here and ain't in your heart, don't go messing
34:37
with the military. Leave that alone.
34:38
Leave it to the real people. You know what I'm saying?
34:41
I'm a military veteran so I can speak on it.
34:44
I'm just saying don't go playing with people and wasting folk
34:47
time. A truck driver understands that
34:51
you get to your destination mile by mile.
34:56
You and you got to understand that you could be sitting there
35:01
holding this wheel for hours. You might run into traffic
35:06
construction. You may have to take this big
35:09
truck through a detour down through some little, small
35:12
little towns and all that. But you got to keep moving to
35:15
the destination that you trying to get to.
35:19
You got to keep going. You got to get the load.
35:22
You got to get to the destination.
35:24
The people waiting on their stuff, they depending on you to
35:28
get there. What if you quit?
35:30
Will you pull over at the next truck stop?
35:32
So you know what man, forget this crap.
35:33
I ain't delivering this stuff. There have been some folk that
35:36
done it because they just look at truck and there's oh that's
35:40
easy money. I'm just seeing that hole in the
35:41
wheel. In most cases you are, but you
35:45
still got to get there. Still got to get the load there.
35:48
Life operates the same way y'all.
35:52
A detour does not mean your destiny or destination has
35:58
disappeared just because you run into a little roadblock with
36:03
your little designs and stuff like that or whatever you're
36:06
trying to do, your blueprints or whatever, regroup, keep pushing,
36:14
right? Delay does not mean you have
36:16
been denied. It's because you got a little
36:18
delay. Take a little longer for them to
36:20
get, you know, the stuff done for you or, you know, take your
36:23
little longer for you to get your designs done or your taking
36:27
the architect a little longer, a little longer for you to get the
36:31
building specs right. I don't mean to deny your
36:35
building coming, the business is going to open.
36:37
It's just taking a little longer.
36:38
And sometimes, you know, those are necessary distractions.
36:42
Like you got a it's it's necessary that this happens.
36:45
That way you can go back. You got extra time to focus and
36:49
tighten up on stuff. So you want to rush yourself
36:51
into something and then you out there like, hey, you know, I
36:55
thought we had everything lined up, the checklist.
37:00
Then the first night you get there, you ain't got no cups.
37:02
How you going to sell folk drinks with no cups?
37:06
I thought he was going to checklist.
37:07
You gotta be here Monday with cups.
37:09
So now you got to tell people in the grand opening that we, you
37:14
know, we ain't selling drinks y'all tonight.
37:16
We can't we ain't got no cups. So sometime those distractions
37:23
are, you know, are are good for you.
37:25
They're they're really, really good, really, really good for
37:28
you. So ask yourself this question
37:31
because I got to get ready to get out of here.
37:32
Y'all I I run a little bit behind, but I got to get out of
37:36
here. Ask yourself this question.
37:39
What important assignment have been?
37:41
I have been tempted to abandon simply because it became
37:46
difficult. Let me say that again because I
37:47
read that one like I was reading like a three-year old, y'all, I
37:50
don't know what happened. It's just like the words that
37:53
running together. I sound like a three-year old
37:56
trying to learn how to read, y'all.
37:57
What important assignment have I been tempted to abandon simply
38:01
because it became difficult? What?
38:06
What do you think? Maybe it was your health, maybe
38:10
it was your family, maybe it was your education, maybe it was
38:12
your business, maybe it was your ministry, maybe it was your
38:15
personal healing. I mean, what?
38:19
Think about that All I'm saying to y'all before I get out of
38:23
here, because I got to go. Don't quit no matter what.
38:30
Do not quit. Y'all, do not quit.
38:36
You got to have the fortitude to finish.
38:39
Y'all you got to have the fortitude to finish.
