- 0:00Speaker 1: I have a closing remarks for you. I was thinking
- 0:03Speaker 1: about this and I want to remind everybody to stay
- 0:08Speaker 1: on your course, stay on your path. God has uniquely
- 0:14Speaker 1: made you, and God has uniquely made the path that
- 0:18Speaker 1: you are on. Stop looking at other people's paths wanting
- 0:23Speaker 1: to take it the same way. Stop picking out your
- 0:26Speaker 1: hero or your example and think that's your path, because
- 0:30Speaker 1: it's not going to be. You're going to be miserably
- 0:33Speaker 1: disappointed if you do that. Do you understand that comparison
- 0:38Speaker 1: is the greatest thief of joy. Comparison is the greatest
- 0:44Speaker 1: thief of joy, and that happens to people oftentimes when
- 0:48Speaker 1: you keep trying to measure yourself, your walk, your destiny,
- 0:52Speaker 1: your life with somebody else's that's not your life. How
- 0:57Speaker 1: it worked for them is not going to work for you.
- 1:00Speaker 1: How it worked out for them is not going to
- 1:03Speaker 1: work out for you. That is no smooth way about
