- 2:38Speaker 1: something man that helped me so greatly. You can't drive
- 2:43Speaker 1: your car if you gonna keep looking in the rear
- 2:46Speaker 1: view mirror. That's why the windshield is huge. The windshield
- 2:52Speaker 1: is huge. The rearview mirror is this tiny thing that
- 2:56Speaker 1: sits up there. Now all is far. It's so you
- 2:59Speaker 1: can see stuff that's coming up on you. All the
- 3:03Speaker 1: rearview mirror for is so you can assure yourself, Oh,
- 3:07Speaker 1: listen to this. The rearview mirror is imp there to
- 3:10Speaker 1: assure you that you've cleared something.
- 3:13Speaker 2: See. That's what the rearview mirrors for.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So when you pass the can you want to switch lanes,
- 3:18Speaker 1: you can glance up there and it says, okay, you're clear.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Now you passed it, you can switch lanes. That's all
- 3:24Speaker 1: the rearview mirrors for. It ain't for you to stare
- 3:27Speaker 1: at and dictate your life with what you're tripping for. Man,
- 3:30Speaker 1: catch fire today today, Man, quit complaining about everything that
- 3:36Speaker 1: didn happened to you. Life is ten percent. What happens
- 3:39Speaker 1: to you is ninety percent. What you do about what
- 3:42Speaker 1: happens to you. What are you going to do about it?
- 3:46Speaker 1: So what I got all this? Look, man, your story
- 3:49Speaker 1: ain't no deeper than nobody else's. I can tell you
- 3:52Speaker 1: I was homeless for three years. It's people been homeless
- 3:54Speaker 1: for thirty years. How long I'm gonna ride that out?
- 4:00Speaker 2: Well? You know I can't do nothing right now. I
- 4:02Speaker 2: fell on hard times and I lost my place to stay.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Where you staying? Now? See the majority of people are
- 4:11Speaker 2: staying somewhere right now. I was out there. I didn't
- 4:14Speaker 2: have nowhere to go. I'm in a shelter. Now.
- 4:16Speaker 1: You was under the bridge a week Aldgo you into shelter. Now,
- 4:20Speaker 1: why you still crying about the bridge? You in a
- 4:24Speaker 1: shelter now? Man, You know how you find your purpose?
- 4:30Speaker 2: You get in.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Touch with who created you. Because when God made you,
- 4:36Speaker 1: he had a purpose in mind. Now we've ignored it
- 4:40Speaker 1: and we haven't tapped into it.
- 4:42Speaker 2: But we all had a purpose.
- 4:43Speaker 1: You don't, and it's sometimes it takes people be longing
- 4:46Speaker 1: to discover the purpose. Colonel Sanders was frying chicken with
- 4:51Speaker 1: a recipe that he was telling people was the.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Best chicken in the world.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Ain't nobody believe him till he turned seventy? Why you
- 5:00Speaker 1: think the dude that's on the Kentucky Fried Chicken signs
- 5:03Speaker 1: is old. That dude ain't twenty up there he oh
- 5:08Speaker 1: he oh, But you know what, he had been frying
- 5:12Speaker 1: that chicken for forty some years. They just found out
- 5:18Speaker 1: about it when he was seventy. But he didn't give
- 5:22Speaker 1: up his purpose in life. This dude was just frying chicken. See,
- 5:26Speaker 1: people keep looking for their gifts in all kinds of
- 5:28Speaker 1: places when it's right there in you.
- 5:30Speaker 2: You ain't got to go to school to find your gift.
- 5:33Speaker 1: You're born with the gift that God got for you.
- 5:36Speaker 1: You'll go to school to tack it on to something else,
- 5:39Speaker 1: But your gift was already given to you. You were
- 5:42Speaker 1: born with that. You don't have to go to college
- 5:44Speaker 1: to know your gift. Your college allows you to enhance
- 5:47Speaker 1: it and to find something to attach it to, and
- 5:49Speaker 1: hopefully you get a degree that attaches your gift to
- 5:53Speaker 1: a vehicle where.
- 5:54Speaker 2: It can work.
- 5:55Speaker 1: The problem with college is we go to college and
- 5:58Speaker 1: we attach it to what we like or what we
- 6:00Speaker 1: might be passionate about. If we ignore the gift we have.
- 6:03Speaker 1: You know how many people and graduated from college ain't
- 6:05Speaker 1: doing nothing. They went to college for Come on, man,
- 6:08Speaker 1: you know why because you discover in life your gift.
- 6:10Speaker 1: You discover what you was born to do. I wasn't
- 6:14Speaker 1: bought you know what I mean? You know what my
- 6:15Speaker 1: major was in college? It was advertising. I can't be
- 6:19Speaker 1: at no death, drawing, no picture for nobody. But now
- 6:22Speaker 1: guess what I can wake up every day and guess
- 6:24Speaker 1: what I can tell you? I advertise. I've been advertising
- 6:27Speaker 1: my career. Come see me live. Come see me live
- 6:31Speaker 1: at Madison Square, guard Come see me live at Phillips Wreena.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Come see me live at Jokers Comedy Club. Come see
- 6:37Speaker 1: me live at Percy's. Come see me live at Elisis Tavin.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Come see me live. I've been advertising the whole time,
- 6:45Speaker 1: but I had a different purpose in mind because I
- 6:48Speaker 1: went and I talked to God. And this is how
- 6:50Speaker 1: you do it. You go talk to God and say,
- 6:52Speaker 1: hey God, look, okay, this is the deal. I've been
- 6:55Speaker 1: struggling here. I'm over forty. I still haven't found my life. Okay,
- 7:01Speaker 1: but so I can quit wasting any more time. Would
- 7:04Speaker 1: you help direct me and guide me to my purpose.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I know you created me to do something. I just
- 7:10Speaker 1: haven't found what it is. And the reason I haven't
- 7:13Speaker 1: found what it is because I've been doing things my way.
- 7:15Speaker 1: I ain't been checking what you confirmed with you on anything.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I ain't locked in or tried to settle it up
- 7:21Speaker 1: with you. I've been just doing my thing. Well, my
- 7:23Speaker 1: thing has gotten me as far as it can get me.
- 7:26Speaker 1: How about you take over and do your thing now?
- 7:29Speaker 1: Can you direct me in my path? I'm an open book.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Treat me like a piece of clay. I'm telling you, man,
- 7:36Speaker 1: if you go to God, he'll give it to you.
- 7:39Speaker 1: But see you have not because you ask not. How
- 7:43Speaker 1: many times have you asked God for it? This ain't
- 7:47Speaker 1: no magic.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Trick, y'all. This is the deal. You got to catch
- 7:51Speaker 2: fire today.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Catch fire today, I am. I'm excited about today. I've
- 7:56Speaker 1: got a lot to do.
