Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know a while back, when I used to fly
- 0:04Speaker 1: to all my gigs, I would be in the airport
- 0:08Speaker 1: and every time I had a chance, I would go
- 0:10Speaker 1: buy a Rob Report. This magazine called rob Report. It's
- 0:15Speaker 1: a lifestyle magazine. You know. It shows expensive cars, expensive homes,
- 0:21Speaker 1: And I was just dreaming, man, I was just dreaming
- 0:23Speaker 1: of one day being able to buy some of this stuff.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I just always was interested in what people had that
- 0:31Speaker 1: I wanted to aspire to. Now, let me explain something
- 0:35Speaker 1: before I say this. Everybody's goal doesn't have to be
- 0:38Speaker 1: wealth or money. It can be anything. So I want
- 0:41Speaker 1: you to take this story. I want you to apply
- 0:43Speaker 1: it to yourself however it fits. But one thing for sure,
- 0:48Speaker 1: whatever your aspirations in life are, they have to be
- 0:52Speaker 1: just that and aspiration. You gotta have goals. You gotta
- 0:56Speaker 1: have something you're shooting for. You gotta have dreams and visions.
- 0:59Speaker 1: The Bibles as a man without a dream or a
- 1:01Speaker 1: vision shall perish. It mentions nothing about you not having
- 1:04Speaker 1: an education. You can actually not make it. You can
- 1:08Speaker 1: actually make it without a college degree. Now, if you
- 1:13Speaker 1: want to be a doctor, lawyer, scientist, engineer, architect, you're
- 1:17Speaker 1: gonna have to get yourself a degree. Okay, let's be
- 1:20Speaker 1: clear about that. But if that's not in the cards
- 1:24Speaker 1: for you, there is a way to make it. But
- 1:26Speaker 1: you're going to have to have an aspiration. And when
- 1:30Speaker 1: I used to look at these magazines and rob Report,
- 1:32Speaker 1: I'd sit on the plane, I would just dream of
- 1:35Speaker 1: this and that. And in the magazine they had this
- 1:38Speaker 1: statue of this muscular man with a mallet in his
- 1:43Speaker 1: hand and a chisel, and the bottom of him was
- 1:46Speaker 1: all carved and cut up and cut out, and the
- 1:49Speaker 1: bottom you could see where he was the one who
- 1:53Speaker 1: was chipping away at the stone to make himself. And
- 1:57Speaker 1: the name of this statue was self made Man and man.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I decided back then, when I got myself to where
- 2:08Speaker 1: I wanted to be, become successful, I was gonna buy
- 2:12Speaker 1: this statue on robb Report, because they sell it. It's
- 2:14Speaker 1: a bronze statue and it's called self made Man. Well,
- 2:19Speaker 1: I became successful enough to afford the statue. And when
- 2:23Speaker 1: I became successful enough to afford the statue, I realized
- 2:27Speaker 1: that the statue wasn't true. It's amazing how I discovered that.
- 2:32Speaker 1: I discovered that there are no self made men. You
- 2:36Speaker 1: could take credit for it. All you want, you can
- 2:38Speaker 1: lay claim to being a self made man. But I
- 2:41Speaker 1: have news for you. There are none. There are no
- 2:44Speaker 1: successful people who got there by themselves. You can't, you can't.
- 2:51Speaker 1: You have to have God's help. You have to have
- 2:56Speaker 1: God's blessings, and you have to have God's favor in
- 3:00Speaker 1: order to succeed. And God uses people to be the favor,
- 3:05Speaker 1: to be the blessing, to be the help. I don't
- 3:08Speaker 1: know a single person who will tell the real gospel
- 3:13Speaker 1: truth and tell you they made it all by themselves.
- 3:16Speaker 1: That ain't true, That ain't true or sound good to say, yeah,
- 3:20Speaker 1: I did this, I did that, I did this, I
- 3:22Speaker 1: did that. Okay, But if you told the whole truth,
- 3:27Speaker 1: somebody helped you. God puts somebody in your path to
- 3:30Speaker 1: give you some advice. God touched somebody to help you financially.
- 3:35Speaker 1: God helps somebody give you a place to state. God
- 3:39Speaker 1: helps somebody take you under their wings. Something happens somewhere
- 3:44Speaker 1: from somebody else. What I'm saying is on your journey,
- 3:49Speaker 1: if you discover a like minded person, attach yourself to him.
- 3:55Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, seek them out. You ain't
- 3:59Speaker 1: got to wait for them to walk across your path.
- 4:00Speaker 1: You can actually seek out like minded people. You know,
- 4:04Speaker 1: they got groups for everything. I don't care what you
- 4:06Speaker 1: in a group. They got people who take mushroom. They
- 4:09Speaker 1: got mushroom groups. They I don't care what you come
- 4:12Speaker 1: up with. They got a group for it. They got
- 4:15Speaker 1: people who are They got grief counseling groups. They got
- 4:18Speaker 1: people who've been addicted groups. They've got people who study
- 4:23Speaker 1: the stars group. They got bird watching groups. I don't
- 4:27Speaker 1: care what your interest is. Somebody out there got the
- 4:31Speaker 1: same thing. Find them, attach yourself to them. Now be careful.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Now be careful. Just because somebody got a group, don't
- 4:40Speaker 1: mean it's for you. Be very careful. Every group ain't
- 4:44Speaker 1: who they say they are. If you ain't been swinging,
- 4:47Speaker 1: don't start swinging. Be careful who you select to put
- 4:53Speaker 1: in your circle, because that's going to define who you are.
- 4:57Speaker 1: And the number one component to all success and happiness
- 5:00Speaker 1: is your relationship with God. You will have no greater
- 5:03Speaker 1: relationship than your relationship with God. The second most important
- 5:07Speaker 1: relationship in your life is who you If it is
- 5:11Speaker 1: who you decide to spend the rest of your life with,
- 5:14Speaker 1: Lord Lord, Lord, have mercy. That's an important one. But
- 5:19Speaker 1: even when you pick that person, make sure they like minded,
- 5:23Speaker 1: make sure you are evenly yoked. Make sure you want
- 5:27Speaker 1: some of the same things gonna go in the same direction,
- 5:31Speaker 1: because if you attach yourself to somebody that don't want
- 5:34Speaker 1: to go where you're going and ain't pulling in the
- 5:36Speaker 1: same direction, something's gonna get pulled apart. And it's probably y'all.
- 5:42Speaker 1: So think about it. It's just help to tell yourself.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Everybody, talk to God.
- 5:49Speaker 1: You would absolutely love to hear Father for all.
