Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Today, I want to remind everybody of something that gets
- 0:04Speaker 1: overlooked from time to time. But if you want to
- 0:07Speaker 1: be successful and you want to be happy, if your
- 0:12Speaker 1: happiness is sometimes as it often is, tied to your success,
- 0:19Speaker 1: and if your success, oftentimes as it is, is tied
- 0:23Speaker 1: to your happiness, the two kind of go hand in
- 0:26Speaker 1: hand almost. But now you have to be using your
- 0:31Speaker 1: definition of success and not somebody else's. If you're using
- 0:35Speaker 1: someone else's definition of success, you're never going to be happy,
- 0:40Speaker 1: whether they've aimed too high for you or they've aimed
- 0:44Speaker 1: too low for you. If you're using somebody else's aim,
- 0:48Speaker 1: you're never going to be happy because those two are,
- 0:54Speaker 1: I'm sorry, tied together. I'm happy if I'm successful. I'm
- 1:00Speaker 1: not successful, I'm not going to be happy because I'm
- 1:04Speaker 1: going to feel like there's something else I could be
- 1:06Speaker 1: doing for my family, as something else I could be
- 1:09Speaker 1: doing for my future. It's something else I could be
- 1:12Speaker 1: doing to make it work. And so my success is
- 1:16Speaker 1: tied to my happiness, and my happiness is tied to
- 1:18Speaker 1: my success. Now do I take times off from all
- 1:22Speaker 1: of it and just sit around and be grateful and
- 1:25Speaker 1: happy for where I am of course, all the time.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Gratitude is a huge part of the principles of success.
- 1:31Speaker 1: That's oftentimes to overlooked. Yeah, I often sit around and
- 1:36Speaker 1: just smell the roses, just take a breath of fresh
- 1:39Speaker 1: air and go mad. I'm awful grateful for where I
- 1:42Speaker 1: am God, not meaning that I don't want more, but
- 1:44Speaker 1: I oftentimes stop and thank Him for right where I am,
- 1:48Speaker 1: because where we are is pretty good compared to where
- 1:52Speaker 1: we were. But now, with all that said, let me
- 1:55Speaker 1: share something with you. If you want to be happy
- 1:57Speaker 1: and successful, are going to have to put out a
- 2:03Speaker 1: massive effort. Period. Stop thinking it's going to happen any
- 2:08Speaker 1: other way. You have got to put out a massive effort.
- 2:14Speaker 1: You gotta get at it. You gotta grind, you gotta
- 2:18Speaker 1: want it. It's got to burn a little bit on
- 2:21Speaker 1: the inside of you. It's gotta make you uncomfortable not
- 2:25Speaker 1: being where you want to be. You got to have
- 2:28Speaker 1: a I'm gonna get it attitude in order for it
- 2:31Speaker 1: to get God. Period. You gotta have a I'm gonna
- 2:34Speaker 1: get it attitude in order for it to get God. Period.
- 2:38Speaker 1: That's the deal. No substitutions, no alternatives. This ain't sugar.
- 2:44Speaker 1: You can't use splendor instead. This ain't sugar. This is life.
- 2:50Speaker 1: You have to go get it now. All no alternatives,
- 2:53Speaker 1: Well you can pick some alternatives, but you're not gonna
- 2:55Speaker 1: be happy and successful. You got to get a little
- 2:59Speaker 1: bit of dog you. I'm sorry. Everybody got to have
- 3:02Speaker 1: some dog in you. You gotta have some bite back,
- 3:05Speaker 1: you gotta have some fight. You're gonna have to have
- 3:08Speaker 1: a little bit of kick, and sometimes the kick has
- 3:11Speaker 1: to come from yourself. You kind of quit looking for
- 3:14Speaker 1: other people. Always give you that little kick in the
- 3:16Speaker 1: rear to get you started, that little jump started in
- 3:18Speaker 1: the morning, to encourage you. What if they need encouraging
- 3:21Speaker 1: What if they ain't get they jump start for the
- 3:23Speaker 1: day and you waiting on they call and their encouraging word. Man,
- 3:27Speaker 1: let me tell you something. These are people that you're
- 3:28Speaker 1: waiting on to help you. People fail all the time.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Every person needs the Lord God Almighty. So that might
- 3:36Speaker 1: be one of the mornings where they need him and
- 3:37Speaker 1: they don't have nothing for you. Take your faith out
- 3:40Speaker 1: of man, put your faith in God and get at it.
- 3:44Speaker 1: You and God can make it. That'd be great if
- 3:46Speaker 1: you had a friend along the way, of course, it
- 3:49Speaker 1: would be but sometimes you're in a pattern where you
- 3:51Speaker 1: got to learn that it ain't nobody but you and him.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes you just need to know it ain't nobody
- 3:58Speaker 1: but you and God. That really ain't a bad place
- 4:02Speaker 1: to be. It really ain't. I've got some of my
- 4:06Speaker 1: best results out of my life when I just asked
- 4:09Speaker 1: God for the help, when I didn't call nobody else
- 4:12Speaker 1: to see what they thought about it. When I've went
- 4:15Speaker 1: to God, just God, I've gotten my best results. I'm
- 4:18Speaker 1: just gonna be honest with you. But you got to
- 4:21Speaker 1: get at it though. Quit expecting God to just bless
- 4:26Speaker 1: you with something and you ain't giving him nothing to
- 4:28Speaker 1: put his finger on the touch you make one step,
- 4:31Speaker 1: he'll make two. You got to be a producer out here.
- 4:34Speaker 1: You got to go out of here and get out something.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Quit asking God for a job and you ain't putting
- 4:38Speaker 1: no applications in. Stop wasting his time and yours too.
- 4:43Speaker 1: It's like the story. The man said, you know, I've
- 4:45Speaker 1: been praying, I've been praying to God to hit the lottery.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I just been praying to the Lord to hit the lottery.
- 4:51Speaker 1: One day the man just kept hearing him say that.
- 4:53Speaker 1: He said, well, do you play the lottery. He said, no,
- 4:56Speaker 1: what kind of prayers that you praying to God to
- 4:59Speaker 1: hit the but you're not playing the lottery? What that
- 5:03Speaker 1: don't make no sense. If you want God to touch
- 5:07Speaker 1: your life, give him something to touch. An effort put
- 5:11Speaker 1: in a request be sincere. But I've decided that I'm
- 5:16Speaker 1: gonna attempt so many things that's within my gift and
- 5:20Speaker 1: in my realm that I'm gonna ask God to bless
- 5:24Speaker 1: me with his grace. He got something to bless. He
- 5:27Speaker 1: just keeps on making stuff happen for me. He just
- 5:30Speaker 1: keeps on opening doors for me. He just keeps on
- 5:33Speaker 1: putting the right people in front of me. Oh and
- 5:35Speaker 1: it may look like the deal ain't gonna happen, as
- 5:37Speaker 1: oftentimes many of them do. But at the end of
- 5:40Speaker 1: the day, it always works out. But man, you got
- 5:43Speaker 1: to get at it, y'all. You got to get off
- 5:45Speaker 1: your butts and get at it. Ain't nobody finna walk
- 5:48Speaker 1: no checks up to you and hand them to you.
- 5:50Speaker 1: You got to get out here and get at it.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Dreams ain't nothing but dreams. Until you put some work
- 5:56Speaker 1: behind them, they become goals. You gotta put some work
- 6:00Speaker 1: behind these dreams. That's my clothes remarks today, drop it
- 6:04Speaker 1: dropple to MiCT. That's how you do it before we
