Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I just want to say something encouraging to people, because
- 0:06Speaker 1: so many people out there, you know, I look at
- 0:08Speaker 1: Instagram and I watch people, and I listen to people,
- 0:12Speaker 1: and I get so many calls now and so many
- 0:15Speaker 1: texts and so many things. I run up into people
- 0:19Speaker 1: to say, hey, man, we really look up to you.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Just yesterday, I got off a plane and young man says, sir,
- 0:25Speaker 1: excuse me. I just want you to know we look
- 0:28Speaker 1: up to you. Thank you man for saying some of
- 0:30Speaker 1: the things you say, and that you know that that
- 0:35Speaker 1: really mattered to me. And as I've gotten older, I've
- 0:40Speaker 1: started to understand more and more my position and my
- 0:43Speaker 1: mission in life, and part of it is to be
- 0:46Speaker 1: encouraging and informative for those that still trying to find
- 0:50Speaker 1: their way, because I know what it's like to not
- 0:53Speaker 1: know your way. I know what it's like to feel
- 0:56Speaker 1: the frustration of wanting something to happen and nothing seems
- 1:01Speaker 1: to happen. But all those times that I felt like
- 1:05Speaker 1: nothing was seeming to be happening, it was actually going
- 1:09Speaker 1: down at that very moment. It actually was. It just
- 1:14Speaker 1: takes experienced time and age to look back on and
- 1:17Speaker 1: see exactly what was happening to you was in preparation
- 1:21Speaker 1: of what was going to happen to you later on,
- 1:24Speaker 1: and so it became imperative that you understood that the
- 1:34Speaker 1: things that happened in your past are in direct correlation
- 1:39Speaker 1: with where you wanted to be today. And I wanted
- 1:42Speaker 1: to do these closing remarks to encourage people that there
- 1:46Speaker 1: is a process, that all of us are in a process,
- 1:51Speaker 1: and I have to remind myself of that oftentimes. Also,
- 1:55Speaker 1: how many times have I set a goal for myself
- 1:59Speaker 1: without asking God to give me the proper guidance in
- 2:03Speaker 1: that goal and direction? Because when I asked God for something,
- 2:07Speaker 1: he usually does it in a way that I didn't
- 2:10Speaker 1: even see how, or I didn't even think of. I
- 2:13Speaker 1: give you an example. I put something on my vision
- 2:16Speaker 1: board about six years ago maybe and when it was
- 2:22Speaker 1: involving a franchise. I'll just leave it at that, and
- 2:27Speaker 1: that's what I said, Man, I'd love to have a
- 2:30Speaker 1: franchise like this. I love to have a few of these. Well,
- 2:33Speaker 1: that was my goal and I put it on my
- 2:35Speaker 1: vision board. Years later, I actually ended up doing a
- 2:40Speaker 1: benefit for the franchise. Then I actually formed a relationship
- 2:49Speaker 1: with the guy that owns the franchise, and I started
- 2:54Speaker 1: using some of his facilities to do something else that
- 2:59Speaker 1: God had won wanted me to do that I didn't know.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I'm being very vague because I just don't want to
- 3:05Speaker 1: give up the story, the name. But just understand what
- 3:07Speaker 1: I'm saying. All I wanted was a franchise. What God
- 3:12Speaker 1: intended for me to be was something different. And so
- 3:16Speaker 1: then eventually I ended up owning something of the franchise,
- 3:25Speaker 1: but it wasn't a franchise. It's the craziest thing. Now.
- 3:31Speaker 1: All of this happened because later on in life, I
- 3:35Speaker 1: stopped worrying about what I wanted and I started asking
- 3:39Speaker 1: God to show me what he wanted from me. And
- 3:42Speaker 1: even though I was in the right direction, I wasn't
- 3:45Speaker 1: thinking big enough, and what God ended up giving me
- 3:49Speaker 1: was far bigger than what I had wanted. The lesson
- 3:53Speaker 1: I learned is the lesson I'm trying to tell you
- 3:55Speaker 1: about today. You can have your dreams and aspirations as
- 3:59Speaker 1: you should, but open yourself up to the will of
- 4:02Speaker 1: God so you can see what God got for you.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Because I am telling you, man, you can't out plan God,
- 4:10Speaker 1: you can't out thinking, and you show can't out doing so.
- 4:14Speaker 1: While you on Instagram flexing and fronting and acting like
- 4:18Speaker 1: you this and acting like you this, why don't you
- 4:21Speaker 1: go to God in honesty and tell him the truth. Hey,
- 4:24Speaker 1: you know what, God, I'm really a little bit broken
- 4:26Speaker 1: right now. I'm really been going through some things and
- 4:29Speaker 1: I'm struggling, and Hey God, I just wanted to tell you, Man,
- 4:33Speaker 1: just between me and you, when I ain't flexing and
- 4:36Speaker 1: I ain't fronting, I'm actually confused. I need some understanding.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I need your wisdom. I need your guidance, man, because
- 4:44Speaker 1: I'm tired of being confusing, but I'm acting like I'm okay.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I need some help. You know something, y'all gonna tell
- 4:51Speaker 1: y'all something. Prayer works, man, Prayer really does work. Prayer
- 4:56Speaker 1: change is things, but prayer change people too. Think about
- 5:02Speaker 1: that for a minute. Think of all the ways you
- 5:05Speaker 1: try to project yourself, but then the reality of it is. Man,
- 5:12Speaker 1: I've had to slow myself down so many times and say, God,
- 5:17Speaker 1: make me the man you want me to be. Come on, Man,
- 5:21Speaker 1: just make me who you want me to be. This
- 5:23Speaker 1: idea I have for myself, I could be selling it short.
- 5:27Speaker 1: This idea that I have for myself may not be
- 5:29Speaker 1: in your will. This idea I have for your for
- 5:32Speaker 1: myself may not be in your timing. I'm just asking you, God,
- 5:36Speaker 1: if you could just step ahead from me, man, just
- 5:38Speaker 1: help me out. I'm tired. I'm tired of getting it wrong.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I'm tired of perpetrating. I'm tired of flexing. I'm tired
- 5:47Speaker 1: of acting like i'm something that i'm not. I'm tired
- 5:50Speaker 1: of showing people the good side so they'll think I'm
- 5:52Speaker 1: just fine. I'm really hurting over here. I really need
- 5:55Speaker 1: some help. I'm just coming to you straight up and
- 5:58Speaker 1: just saying, hey, could you fire me? Because I don't
- 6:01Speaker 1: know how the first the first idea of solving a
- 6:08Speaker 1: problem is the first admitting that you have for y'all.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Think about that today. Okay, those are my closing remarks. Opekay,
- 6:15Speaker 1: help somebody today. Y'all have a great day. Hey, listen,
- 6:19Speaker 1: don't forget talk to God. He would love to hear
- 6:21Speaker 1: from God for real. For all Steve Harvey contests, no
