• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I've told this to you a hundred times on this radio,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to say it again. Bishop Jakes told
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: me something, man, that helped me so greatly. You can't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: drive your car if you're going to keep looking in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the rearview mirror. That's why the windshield is huge. The
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: windshield is huge. The rearview mirror is this tiny thing
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that sits up there. Now, all this for is so
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you can see stuff that's coming.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Up on you.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: All the rearview mirror for is so you can assure yourself.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, listen to this. The rearview mirror is there to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: assure you that you've cleared something. See, that's what the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: rearview mirror is for.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So when you pass a car and you want to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: switch lanes, you can glance up there and it says, okay,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you're clear now. You passed it. You can switch lanes.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That's all the rearview mirror is for. It ain't for
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you to stare at and dictate your life. What you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: tripping for, man? Catch fire today. Today, man, quit complaining
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: about everything that happened to you.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Life is 10%.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: What happens to you is 90% what you do about
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: what happens to you.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do about it? So what?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I got all this. Look, man, your story ain't no
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: deeper than nobody else's. I can tell you I was
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: homeless for three years. It's people been homeless for 30 years.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: How long I'm a ride that out?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I can't do nothing right now. I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: fell on hard times and I lost my place to stay.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Where are you staying now? See, the majority of people
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: are staying somewhere right now.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I was out there.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't have nowhere to go. I'm in a shelter now.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: You was under the bridge a week ago. You're in
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a shelter now. Why are you still crying about the bridge?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: You're in a shelter now. Man.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: You know how you find your purpose. You get in.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Touch with who created you. Because when God made you,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: he had a purpose in mind. Now, we've ignored it
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and we haven't tapped into it, but we all had
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a purpose.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: You don't.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And it's sometimes it take people longer to discover the purpose.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Colonel Sanders was frying chicken with a recipe that he
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: was telling people was.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: The best chicken in the world.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Ain't nobody believe him till he turned 70. Why you
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: think the dude that's on the Kentucky Fried Chicken signs
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is old?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: That dude ain't 20 up there.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: He old.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: He old. But you know what?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: He had been frying that chicken for 40-some years. They
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: just found out about it when he was 70. But
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: he didn't give up his purpose in life. This dude
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: was just frying chicken. See, people keep looking for their
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: gifts in all kinds of places. When it's right there
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: in you, you ain't got to go to school to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: find your gift. You're born with the gift that God
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: got for you. You'll go to school to tack it
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on to something else. But your gift was already given
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to you. You were born with that. You don't have
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to go to college to know your gift. Your college
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: allows you to enhance it and to find something to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: attach it to. And hopefully you get a degree that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: attaches your gift to a vehicle where.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: It can work.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: The problem with college is we go to college and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: we attach it to what we like or what we
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: might be passionate about, and we ignore the gift we have.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: You know how many people that graduated from college ain't
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: doing nothing they went to college for?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Come on, man. You know why?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Because you discover in life your gift. You discover what
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you was born to do. You know what my major
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: was in college? It was advertising. I can't be at
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: no desk drawing no picture for nobody. But now guess what?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I can wake up every day and guess what? I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: can tell you I advertise. I've been advertising my career.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Come see me live. Come see me live at Madison
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Square Garden. Come see me live at Phillips Arena. Come
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: see me live at Joker's Comedy Club. Come see me
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: live at Percy's. Come see me live at Ellis's Tavern.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Come see me live. Come.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I've been advertising the whole time.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: But I had a different purpose in mind because I
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: went and I talked to God. And this is how
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you do it. You go talk to God and say, hey, God, look, OK,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: this is the deal. I've been struggling here. I'm over 40.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I still haven't found my purpose in life. OK, but
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: so I can quit wasting any more time. Would you
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: help direct me and guide me to my purpose? I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: know you created me to do something. I just haven't
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: found what it is. And the reason I haven't found
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: what it is, because I've been doing things my way.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I ain't been checking with you, conferring with you on anything.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I ain't locked in or tried to settle it up
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: with you. I've been just doing my thing. Well, my
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: thing has gotten me as far as it can get me.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: How about you take over and do your thing? Now,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: can you direct me in my path? I'm an open book.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Treat me like a piece of clay. I'm telling you, man,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: if you go to God, he'll give it to you.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But see, you have not because you ask not. How
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: many times have you asked God for it? This ain't
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: no magic trick, y'all. This is the deal. You got
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to catch fire today. Catch fire today. I am.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about today. I've got a lot to do.
• 7:58
