- 2:55Speaker 2: that sits up there. Now all is far. It's so
- 2:59Speaker 2: you can see stuff that's coming up on you. All
- 3:02Speaker 2: the rearview mirror for is so you can assure yourself, Oh,

- 3:09Speaker 2: assure you that you've cleared something. See. That's what the

- 3:57Speaker 2: long I'm gonna ride that out? Well? You know I
- 4:00Speaker 2: can't do nothing right now. I fell on hard times

- 4:16Speaker 2: You was under the bridge a week ago. You in
- 4:19Speaker 2: a shelter. Now, why you still crying about the bridge?
- 4:23Speaker 2: You in a shelter now?
- 4:26Speaker 1: Man? You know how you find your purpose? You get
- 4:30Speaker 1: in touch with who created you. Because when God.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Made you, he had a purpose in mind. Now we've
- 4:39Speaker 2: ignored it and we haven't tapped into it. But we
- 4:42Speaker 2: all had a purpose. You don't, and it's sometimes it
- 4:44Speaker 2: takes people longing to discover the purpose. Colonel Sanders was
- 4:49Speaker 2: frying chicken with a recipe that he was telling people was.
- 4:53Speaker 1: The best chicken in the world.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Ain't nobody believe him till he turned seventy? Why you
- 5:00Speaker 2: think the dude that's only Kentucky fried chicken signs is old.
- 5:05Speaker 2: That dude ain't twenty up there he oh he oh,
- 5:10Speaker 2: But you know what, he had been frying that chicken
- 5:14Speaker 2: for forty some years. They just found out about it
- 5:18Speaker 2: when he was seventy. But he didn't give up his
- 5:22Speaker 2: purpose in life. This dude was just frying chicken. See,
- 5:26Speaker 2: people keep looking for their gifts in all kinds of
- 5:28Speaker 2: places when it's right there in you.
- 5:30Speaker 1: You ain't gotta go to school to find your gift.
- 5:33Speaker 2: You're born with the gift that God got for you.
- 5:35Speaker 2: You'll go to school to tack it on to something else,
- 5:39Speaker 2: But your gift was already given to you.
- 5:41Speaker 1: You were born with that. You don't have to go
- 5:43Speaker 1: to college to know your gift.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Your college allows you to enhance it and to find
- 5:47Speaker 2: something to attach it to, and hopefully you get a
- 5:50Speaker 2: degree that attaches your gift to a vehicle where.
- 5:53Speaker 1: It can work.
- 5:55Speaker 2: The problem with college is we go to college and
- 5:57Speaker 2: we attach it to what we like or what we
- 5:59Speaker 2: might be passionate about.
- 6:01Speaker 1: If we ignore the gift we have.
- 6:02Speaker 2: You know how many people and graduating from college ain't
- 6:04Speaker 2: doing nothing they went to college for. Come on, man,
- 6:07Speaker 2: you know why Because you discover in life your gift,
- 6:10Speaker 2: You discover what you was born to do.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I wasn't bought you know what I mean? You know
- 6:14Speaker 1: what my major was in college?
- 6:16Speaker 2: It was advertising. I can't be at no death, drawing,
- 6:20Speaker 2: no picture for nobody. But now guess what I can
- 6:22Speaker 2: wake up every day and guess what I can tell you?
- 6:25Speaker 2: I advertise. I've been advertising my career. Come see me live.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Come see me live at Madison Square, guard Come see
- 6:32Speaker 2: me live at Phillips Winga. Come see me live at
- 6:35Speaker 2: Jokers Comedy Club. Come see me live at Percy's. Come
- 6:38Speaker 2: see me live at Elisis Tavin. Come see me live.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I've been advertising the whole time, but I had a
- 6:45Speaker 2: different purpose in mind because I went and I talked
- 6:49Speaker 2: to God. And this is how you do it. You
- 6:50Speaker 2: go talk to God and say, hey God, look, okay,
- 6:53Speaker 2: this is the deal. I've been struggling here. I'm over forty.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I still haven't found my purpose in life. Okay, but
- 7:01Speaker 2: so I can quit wasting any more time. Would you
- 7:04Speaker 2: help direct me and guide me to my purpose. I
- 7:07Speaker 2: know you created me to do something. I just haven't
- 7:10Speaker 2: found what it is. And the reason I haven't found
- 7:13Speaker 2: what it is because I've been doing things my way.
- 7:15Speaker 2: I ain't been checking what you, conferring with you on anything.
- 7:18Speaker 2: I ain't locked in. I tried to settle it up
- 7:20Speaker 2: with you. I've been just doing my thing. Well, my
- 7:23Speaker 2: thing has gotten me as far as it can get me.
- 7:26Speaker 2: How about you take over and do your thing now?
- 7:29Speaker 2: Can you direct me in my path? I'm an open book.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Treat me like a piece of clay. I'm telling you, man,
- 7:36Speaker 2: if you go to God, he'll give it to you.
- 7:38Speaker 2: But see you have not because you ask not. How
- 7:42Speaker 2: many times have you asked God for it? This ain't
- 7:47Speaker 2: no magic.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Trick, y'all. This is the deal.
