Everyone wants the easy way in life, but few are willing to take the hardest route to get there. · The Facts with Jamal 🇺🇸🦅👊

  Alright, so it's a new week that's given all of us, and also
• 0:08
  it's the last day of August, which is even more hard to
• 0:13
  believe, but nonetheless, let's do what we can turn this week
• 0:18
  strong. So here's where everything to
• 0:30
  me, it's kind of interesting, although it kind of not in the
• 0:35
  same hope, you know, in life it's real easy.
• 0:45
  It's real easy for any of us, even yours truly.
• 0:53
  I will put myself out there to look for the easiest way out.
• 1:03
  It's real easy to try to find. You can kind of say in a way an
• 1:09
  excuse or and get out of trouble free card because you feel as if
• 1:19
  you know your situation gets tough and you're just looking
• 1:25
  for at this point anywhere you go.
• 1:29
  But yet there's not enough of a emphasis if you want to say
• 1:36
  about why some people put themselves in a sponsor.
• 1:41
  Kim Now granted, every situation varies and every situation is
• 1:51
  different, and in a lot of cases, some people are putting
• 1:57
  into situations they actually don't have any control over.
• 2:03
  Well, that part is especially reliable.
• 2:08
  What about what's within our crafts that we do have control
• 2:20
  in a poetic but more so kind of fitting approach?
• 2:30
  People always wanna take the easy way instead of the hard way
• 2:37
  and look for somebody that, you know, has gotten himself in
• 2:41
  great shape and, you know, was much better physically than when
• 2:49
  I was years ago. I can't attest to what I'm
• 2:52
  saying because I myself tried to look for the easy way out
• 2:59
  really. More so because we only do have
• 3:05
  one life. And so it was kind of like that,
• 3:09
  you know, you only live once kind of thing.
• 3:12
  While that is true, you only have one real chance to take
• 3:21
  care of your health, and that was that part, you know, more so
• 3:27
  that I didn't factor in because I bought at the idea of going on
• 3:34
  weight, uh, being healthy. I apologize, but you know what I
• 3:50
  had to go to the turbulent process of it.
• 3:55
  I had to go to, you know, it's times when I thought about
• 4:01
  packing and I'm glad I didn't. And as a result, it's paid off.
• 4:10
  Tremendous reform. But the idea that you know, life
• 4:23
  is going to be handed a easy get out of trouble free card, I
• 4:33
  mean, think about it this way. People always, for whatever
• 4:38
  reason, want to take the easy path of getting to where they
• 4:48
  want to be, taking a shortcut instead of going through the
• 4:53
  more difficult Rd. Well, what do you think is going
• 4:59
  to happen if you find yourself in trouble one day or if you put
• 5:05
  yourself in a scenario of your own doing it?
• 5:09
  Are you going to find a way out of it?
• 5:11
  That's why I was taking an easier way.
• 5:14
  Or are you going to go to the more treacherous?
• 5:21
  By that I mean, let's say you're struggling with your health,
• 5:27
  trying to be healthy, or if you guys are saying trouble in
• 5:34
  school or at your workplace or you know, for the sake of
• 5:43
  argument, you aren't doing what you need to do in your life
• 5:50
  because you just don't want to do anything in.
• 6:01
  Anybody can try to look for a free ride out, but yet many
• 6:09
  don't want to ultimately put the hard hat on at the lunch pail
• 6:17
  and go for it as far as doing what they need to do because
• 6:23
  they look at that as like, wow, you know, I don't want to
• 6:27
  necessarily go that way. What's the point?
• 6:31
  And what good that's come out Now, mind you, the hard way you
• 6:40
  go in life, it's going to be treacherous.
• 6:43
  Like I mentioned, there's going to be bumps in the road.
• 6:48
  You know, you will get knocked down.
• 6:49
  You will have great assistance. You will have honor.
• 7:03
  Here's the reality of life in general.
• 7:09
  There will be no easy paths. Anybody that tells you that
• 7:22
  there's an easy way to essentially lie to you and
• 7:27
  they're looking to try and essentially give you an
• 7:29
  opportunity to not do what's needed or called.
• 7:42
  You gotta be willing to go through the hard times to get to
• 7:45
  where you wanna be. Because yes, you will hate that
• 7:55
  path. Yes, you will question many
• 7:58
  times over whether or not it's even worse.
• 8:03
  But that's why you gotta go through the house.
• 8:08
  Because if you don't think that little hard work doesn't help
• 8:13
  you, then you are actually more tone deaf than you realize.
• 8:24
  But let me say this. And that's probably why society
• 8:29
  is where it's at right now. People don't want to go through
• 8:34
  the difficult times because they always want to have the good
• 8:38
  times come their way. Well, how are you going to see
• 8:42
  those good times if you're not going to be able to want to go
• 8:48
  to the more treacherous turn? See, that's the question they
• 8:53
  never asked themselves. They want to see all the good
• 8:57
  happen, but how do you think that's going to actually
• 9:01
  materialize if you don't go do the bumps in the world?
• 9:05
  So in the end, you can't always expect a easy way.
• 9:11
  As far as you know, you get yourself in trouble or you look
• 9:16
  for a reason. She tried to get, you know,
• 9:23
  ahead of life. If you think an easy way I was
• 9:26
  going to solve it, 'cause I'm telling you right now that is
• 9:31
  not gonna happen. You have to go through difficult
• 9:36
  times until you finally get to where you wanna be.
• 9:43
  And like I said, will you hate it?
• 9:44
  Absolutely. Will you question pretty much
• 9:49
  everything? I mean, that would be
• 9:52
  understanding it, but yeah, you will.
• 9:57
  But in the end, if you stay with it, you are going to see a whole
• 10:02
  lot of good help to you the right way and you'll be happy.
