- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are our last break of
- 0:02Speaker 1: the day. It's been a great day. It's been a
- 0:04Speaker 1: fun day. Hump day. Yeah, yeah again. Our condolences go
- 0:12Speaker 1: out to DiAngelo's family. Yes, what a loss. He will
- 0:17Speaker 1: be missed in the music industry for sure. I don't
- 0:21Speaker 1: know anyone who didn't love DiAngelo's music.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Hey, in closing, you know we were talking earlier. Junior
- 0:33Speaker 2: proposed a question to me about procrastination and the role
- 0:38Speaker 2: that it plays in a person's life, and I just
- 0:41Speaker 2: wanted to warn everybody against procrastination. Be very careful out there,
- 0:46Speaker 2: folks of putting off tomorrow what you can do today.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Be very careful of that, Be very conscious of the
- 0:57Speaker 2: gift of now. Be very appreciative of the gift called
- 1:03Speaker 2: the present because they call it the present, because it
- 1:08Speaker 2: is a gift to exist in the present. The past
- 1:12Speaker 2: belongs to history, The future belongs to God, not you.
- 1:17Speaker 2: So when you put off today, you throw it into tomorrow.
- 1:25Speaker 2: You throw it in into something that you have no
- 1:27Speaker 2: idea of what's going on. See right now, you have
- 1:31Speaker 2: a conscious idea of what's going on. So when you
- 1:34Speaker 2: have the opportunity to do something, do it in the
- 1:38Speaker 2: moment that you have the control over, which is now.
- 1:42Speaker 2: When you put something off and cast it into tomorrow,
- 1:46Speaker 2: do you know that tomorrow comes with a whole new
- 1:48Speaker 2: set of challenges, a whole new set of what else?
- 1:53Speaker 2: Do you know that tomorrow can completely reshape your day,
- 1:57Speaker 2: your thinking, your life. Do you know that you could
- 2:00Speaker 2: receive some tragic news tomorrow? Do you know that it
- 2:04Speaker 2: can all turn around for you tomorrow? Do you know
- 2:08Speaker 2: the stuff that can be added on your life tomorrow?
- 2:13Speaker 2: What tomorrow don't need is today's problems. So address them today,
- 2:20Speaker 2: get it done today. What you do today can affect
- 2:26Speaker 2: your tomorrow. If you've put another building block on your
- 2:32Speaker 2: letter of success, if you put another wrong on your
- 2:35Speaker 2: letter of success, if you put another brick on your
- 2:38Speaker 2: wall of your future. When tomorrow gets here, it'll be
- 2:42Speaker 2: that much stronger, that much sturdier. But if you keep
- 2:45Speaker 2: delaying the building of the wall, the building of the structure,
- 2:49Speaker 2: the building of your dreams, when do you think those
- 2:52Speaker 2: dreams are going to come true? Because guess what, Tomorrow
- 2:55Speaker 2: just may get here. And if it gets here, and
- 2:58Speaker 2: if you've made no preparation for it, or done nothing
- 3:02Speaker 2: to secure it, or or participate in it. Wow, procrastination.
- 3:08Speaker 2: The other danger of procrastination is its habit for me.
- 3:13Speaker 2: I think you all know a person like that too.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Think about it in your circle of people that you've
- 3:18Speaker 2: ever known. Don't you know somebody that always puts something off,
- 3:23Speaker 2: but can't you look at their life and it explains everything,
- 3:27Speaker 2: don't it. Most people I know that practice procrastination they
- 3:35Speaker 2: lacking in a lot of areas of their life because
- 3:39Speaker 2: it's habit for me. Get in the habit of getting
- 3:42Speaker 2: it done now. Get in the habit of being proactive.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Get in the habit of making steps. Get in the
- 3:53Speaker 2: habit of understanding that inch by inch anythings is cinch.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Get in the habit of producing something then today for
- 4:01Speaker 2: your tomorrow. Don't put off today into tomorrow, because tomorrow
- 4:08Speaker 2: is gonna come with a whole other set of circumstances.
- 4:11Speaker 2: You may not get this opportunity to do what you
- 4:13Speaker 2: had a chance to do today because of the circumstances
- 4:16Speaker 2: of tomorrow. You gotta stop procrastinating, y'all. You gotta start
- 4:20Speaker 2: building that future. You gotta start building that life. You
- 4:23Speaker 2: gotta start putting them building blocks together for your dreams.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Everybody wants to be happy, and everybody wants to be successful,
- 4:30Speaker 2: but you gotta do something towards it. You make one step,
- 4:33Speaker 2: he'll make two. Faith is the belief in things that
- 4:37Speaker 2: you cannot see. You ain't got to see how it's
- 4:40Speaker 2: gonna turn out. You got to keep putting one foot
- 4:43Speaker 2: in front of the other and then ask God to
- 4:46Speaker 2: auder your steps. See if you ask God to audo
- 4:50Speaker 2: your steps, knowing how the outcome, it takes that away
- 4:54Speaker 2: from you because now you've done the simple thing. If
- 4:57Speaker 2: you're doing you're doing what God wants you to do.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Ask him the audio steps? And when has God ever
- 5:04Speaker 2: led you wrong? That's the crazy part about asking God
- 5:08Speaker 2: to auder your steps? When has God ever led you
- 5:12Speaker 2: down the wrong path? But you know how many times
- 5:15Speaker 2: you have though, You know how many times we have
- 5:18Speaker 2: picked the wrong way to go. Had we just asked God,
- 5:24Speaker 2: God would have told us don't do that. But since
- 5:29Speaker 2: we don't ask, we just go. And then we got
- 5:33Speaker 2: to undiscovered ourselves because God gave us the power of choice.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Choose not to procrastinate, Choose to get it done today,
- 5:43Speaker 2: Choose to ask God to audio steps, choose the right way.
- 5:50Speaker 2: I was doing the podcast recently. One of my partners
- 5:54Speaker 2: asked me to say, love, why you always picked the
- 5:58Speaker 2: hard road? Man? You always go to hard way? Why
- 6:03Speaker 2: you always pick the hard road? You know what I
- 6:05Speaker 2: told my partner, I said, what makes you think I
- 6:08Speaker 2: see two roads? That's just the way to go. That's
- 6:12Speaker 2: the way to it. In order to get to it,
- 6:14Speaker 2: you gotta go through it. There is no other way
- 6:16Speaker 2: for me. And I ask God to order my steps
- 6:20Speaker 2: and I get to step in. Y'all do the same.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Have yourself a great day. Stop procrastinating, y'all, do something
- 6:25Speaker 2: for your future tomorrow. And lastly, but not have all
- 6:28Speaker 2: the last thing I want to say, talk to God
- 6:30Speaker 2: to do with absolute.
