that a lot of things that we want to do
a lot of places we would like to go a
lot of things we would like to
experience and we just stop at buck and
we bill a case in fact I was reading
something the other day that that talked
about but it says but is an argument for
our limitations and when we argue for
our limitations we get to keep them
see but will cost you to procrastinate
but will cause you to hide out behind
fear but will cause you to come up with
all type of excuses that you can
validate you’re in action and not acting
on your dream and right now more than
ever people need to look for ways to
live their dream people need to look for
ways to make it on their own there is no
such thing as job security there’s no
such thing as a storm proof or tragic
proof life there are no guarantees today
ladies and gentlemen the illusion is
gone there was a time when when we
graduated from high school you’re told
go to college and get out and you go and
work for corporation for 30 or 40 years
and give your goal watching you’ll
retire special announcement that day is
gone that day is gone never to return
again so instead of people living in
fear feeling stressed out feeling
powerless feeling like victims I think
it should be a time that we need to
begin to look at ways that we can become
an active force in our own lives look at
ways when we can decide to take charge
of our own destiny look at ways when we
can decide to design a life of substance
and begin to truly live our dreams and
it’s time for people decide I’m ready to
get on with my life shake somebody’s
hand on your writing life a guy named
Bob Mays say they say don’t let nobody
turn you around do that right quick now
you’re not a lot of people say I’m going
to live my life one day when things get
right
when I get Alma Beals page when I give
my feet on the ground I say what have
you been walking or you see there no
problem three moments guy named dimples
had a record one time call if it ain’t
one thing it’s another and I say if it
ain’t one thing is twelve others always
something there to bilikiss and why you
can’t move on why you can’t grow to the
next level why you can’t begin to
manifest your greatness why you can’t
begin to live life on your terms always
something there to block you to keep you
where you are and keep you from
beginning to develop your true greatness
always some fear how do we handle it and
I’m saying that if you’ve been hiding
out behind but if you’ve been using the
fact that you don’t have enough money or
you don’t have the education take it
head-on don’t get the education I’m
saying to a guy the other day who was
saying he I said how old are yous is 47
years old I said your sister tell me
that you can’t read he said that’s right
I said why well you know I I didn’t go
to school
excuse how old are you I’m 47 47 yes and
you can’t read or write yes have you
ever heard of adults school adult
education have you decided that you
should learn how to read to begin to
expand your world why are you using that
as a racket why don’t you decide now
that you can expand your world that if
other people can learn you could learn
too well it’s hard for me how do you
have you been and sit in a class yet
have you signed up yet no I haven’t see
a lot of people say no ladies and
gentlemen two things and they don’t even
know what they’re saying no to ever even
challenge themselves
he hasn’t even gone to sit into a class
and say teach me how to read instead
it’s been easier for him to go through
life he thinks trying to play a whole
con game pretending he knows how to do
something that he doesn’t know how to do
and you know what most of us go through
life like that most of us go through
life pretending
pretending that we’re satisfied where we
are pretending that everything is okay
pretending that that we don’t have any
special goals or ambitions or desires
when really deep down inside we do
really want more but if you look at our
behavior if you judge based upon what we
do and really will tell you some true
stories of our people because you have
to judge a tree by the fruit it bears
not the fruit that it talks about see a
lot of people pretend that they want
more out of life but all you have to do
is watch their actions that will tell
you something so I used to pretend that
I want to lose weight but how could you
tell I was pretending watch me when I
have a piece of sweet potato pie peanuts
some potato chips so I was pretending
that I really wanted to lose weight no
you don’t watch what I eat that tell you
what I’m seriously committed to people
tell you oh yeah one day I want to have
a restaurant see they’re pretending they
watch what they’re doing the proof is in
the pudding so if you want to do
something if you’ve thought about
something you want to do take it head on
decide that you’re going to start
looking at it start doing research on it
start tackling it start becoming
involved in whatever and wherever it
might lead you to begin to explore the
possibilities in that particular thing
that you’re seeking so that you can
begin to learn all you can about it
decide that you’re going to face it that
whatever shortcomings you have that
you’re going to strip in yourself there
whatever training is required that
you’re going to go get that training but
you’re gonna get started right now and
George Washington Carver which they do
what you can where you are and what you
have and never be satisfied yes be fully
used to say it I heard Jo Dudley talk
about always trying to be more than that
which you are yeah don’t get satisfied
with yourself always know that wherever
you are you can enjoy more that you
deserve more but most people you know
they do most people go through life
quietly and safely tiptoe into an early
grave find out what it is you want and
go after it as if your life too
turns on it why because it does people
that have found their passion people
that found the things that they love
people that have found the things that
they can pour their lives into those
people live longer I was in New York and
I had to do a seminar at a special
church and a guy by the name of Reverend
Johnny Youngblood and I said how is it
that you were able to build this big
housing facility and got all of the
various community and religious groups
together to to have this dwelling for
2,000 residents that were were once
homeless how were you able to take on
this responsibility wasn’t it
overwhelming he said the kind of work I
do he said it’s in me I’ve got to live
what’s in me and I think that’s
everybody’s desire in life you got to
live what’s in you life is just too
short and unpredictable but what are
what are we saved but but there always
be tomorrow oh no there’s no guarantees
you’re gonna show up tomorrow a lot of
people who were here yesterday that
they’re not here today
there are a lot of opportunities that
were around yesterday they’re not here
today oh you can wait but you know what
Abraham Lincoln said well good things
might come to those or to who wait but
all of the things that have been left
over by those who hustle
so who want to go through life picking
up leftovers you deserve much more than
that the leftovers that somebody has
left you so take it head-on begin to
explore here’s something else decide to
do it now decide whatever you want to do
that you are now going to become
actively involved right now exploring
the possibilities for you that you’re
going to look at it and do just a little
bit of it right now when I decided to
become a speaker I didn’t just quit my
job and just ran out and say I’m a
motivational speaker know what I did was
I decided to start looking at other
people that were involved in the
speaking profession I’ve volunteered to
work with some speakers so that I could
learn whatever you want to do get your
feet wet gain some experience doing some
volunteer work in the area and find out
whether or not this thing you want to do
will fit for you friend of mine told me
he wanted to have a restaurant and say
have you ever operated restaurant before
he said no I said we’re really you
even though if you want one I said
what’s your expertise what do you bring
to the table he said I can cook real
good I said well what about the
management side what about the business
part of the restaurant you’re not gonna
be cooking all the time
somebody’s got to receive the money
who’s gonna manage the personnel he said
you got it right you got a point there
so this guy got a job in a restaurant in
the evening time on a part-time basis
after doing that for a while he said you
know what I think I just want to be a
chef he said after working there people
didn’t show up the working it says hard
to find the help people weren’t
responsible they headaches the guess
what gives giving him problems day in
and day out they weren’t ever satisfied
he said no I just think I’ll stick to
cooking so you gotta find out what fits
for you because you might decide after
you go up in there and examine it and
experience it and and get some
experience on the about on it well you
said this is really not what I want this
does not fit for me so decide that
you’re going to do that now Johnny
Johnson said something that’s very
important he said there’s no defense
against an excellence that meets a
pressing public need see whatever you
decide to do look at it and find out
what is it that I have that I could
bring to the table that can begin to
enable me to ensure that I could be
successful in this where is the opening
for you there’s room for you out here
out here in the arena called life
there’s room for you to come out and
live your dream don’t allow but to keep
you in the corner or keep you up in the
bleachers looking at life being a
spectator not being a participant making
a difference in life I believe that all
of us came here with something all of us
showed up to give something and that
nobody but nobody is going to give that
service that you have to give no one’s
going to produce your product no one’s
going to write your book no one’s going
to open your academy no one’s going to
begin to create your date here with a
special curriculum to help to cultivate
the high self-esteem and our children
that’s your idea and if you don’t bring
your ID out here when you die all of us
will suffer because we’ve been deprived
of your genius because you allowed but
to keep you in the bleachers and not
pursuing your greatness you take it
agree with you and that’s what most
people do I think that’s why the guy
said that many people die at age 21 and
don’t get buried until they’re 65
they’re walking dead you can tell him by
the way they walk Kylie look in the face
when they speak to you I was giving a
speech of this high school and a lady
came after school she said mr. brown I
want to talk to you about my son I said
said I wonder why you gotta have energy
ladies and gentlemen you’ve got to have
life if you excited about what you’re
doing even in the area of selling you
know people don’t buy because of logical
reasoning people buy because of your way
of feeling people don’t like to be
robbed their people
oh no let the dead bury the dead no no
keep them away from before they grab you
what a whole load to use up some of the
fact that that whatever you do you want
to be excited about it you want to have
the kind of excitement that is so
contagious that people want to be around
you because whatever you’re doing
whatever you talk to people about this
particular idea that you have they’re
looking at you and they want to know do
you believe it and are you the kind of
person they want to be in business with
and if you’re not positive if you’re not
energetic if you’re not fired up about
it how can you expect anybody else to be
fired up about your idea am i right
all right repeat after me please I’m
gonna be fired up about my dream I’m
gonna go at it
with everything I got shake somebody’s
hand on your right and left and say you
got what it takes
there are a lot of people who say but I
tried once or twice and it didn’t work
out and so they use that as an excuse
not to ever come out again guys said if
at first you don’t succeed you’re
running about average so so so if you
have come out here with an idea and it
didn’t work out two or three times well
that’s all right you’re running about
average you know I heard something a
jarring question it says why is it that
people prefer known hell’s to unknown
heavens you know why because it’s
comfortable ladies and gentlemen I
remember I was in a service once and I
heard dr. Johnny Coleman give this
example she talked about a man who had
been captured behind the enemy lines in
a war and was sentenced to to be killed
or another option the captain said to
the guy listen he said tomorrow morning
at 6 o’clock you can face the firing
squad or you can go out this door over
here and the guy said what’s off the
door
he said no one knows all we can tell you
just unknown horrors he thought and the
next morning he selected the firing
squad after the shots rang out the
captain’s secretary said what’s beyond
that door and he said freedom but very
few people would select to do it because
it’s unknown see a lot of people never
live their dreams a lot of people never
do the things they want to do a lot of
people stay on jobs where they’re
miserable I reckon I don’t recall is
your job making you sick a lot of people
some of y’all know about that already
they’re going to say hey man it’s
alright that one lady to me she said
less when I used to go to work she said
when I stepped in the door felt like a
refrigerator dropped on my shoulders how
many all understand that kind of feeling
they were miserable just hated to go
after 60 minutes on Sunday afternoon or
come Monday morning my head used to
thrive I just couldn’t take it didn’t
want to go sometimes just just for the
heck of I just drive on by I used to
hate to go to work many of us choose an
active living death many of us are
Walking Dead The Walking Dead that we’re
not doing what we want to do many of us
stay in relationships where we’re dying
together rather than growing and
expanding and living together we’re
miserable but because we don’t have the
courage to see ourselves beyond that
relationship that has turned toxic we go
through life living dead people and then
you can always tell couples that have
been together for a little while go in a
restaurant the one sitting side-by-side
giggling and talking to each other
feed each other with their Farkus food
they just got together forward we you
see him in the car they sitting all of
each other hug or they’ve been together
about three days all right
but if you see people to the restaurant
to you know see a couple and they’re
sitting in front of each other take so
long for this food I wonder when they go
hurry up those are married was four
years living in two separate rooms
sleeping in two separate beds well is
cheaper to keep it not necessarily it’s
according to the price you want to pay
see the price of peace of mind the price
of living the truth of being honest with
your servants at wait a minute it’s
gotta be more than this so you’ve got to
decide wait wait even if I I think don’t
work out even if I experienced defeat a
failure that does not make me a failure
it’s the difference between failing and
being a failure if you if things don’t
work out if you don’t produce the
results you want that’s all but don’t
confuse who you are with the results
that you produce I used to be a state
legislator in Columbus Ohio and I
remember once I who was going to
introduce some legislation on the floor
and after getting that legislation
passed a guy came up behind me and he
had some legislation that I opposed him
on that and I was about to stand up to
debate this guy and got next to me said
skew don’t don’t debate that guy why do
you know who that is I said no it’s will
Koski from Toledo it’s a bad dude he’s a
lawyer less man can debate I don’t care
where’s my hand miss mr. speaker you
said the gentleman from the 29th House
District say yes urge to tell the
gentleman I like to take him on
challenge him on this legislation he
said will cause he said I would more
than like to mr. speaker
everybody say whoa I asked him some
questions he responded I say I wonder
why instead man that question well cos
he won’t be out I mean I was up there
and I just lifted back to my rule about
yes I get out up top however here’s what
I learned when you win see you if I win
a debate I win because of what I know
when I lose I lose because what I don’t
know so I had to check out what is it
that I did not know I wasn’t prepared I
did not do enough research I did not do
my homework so he held with me like he
wanted to so I came back again I waited
on some other legislation did my
homework but he was more than able to
take me out again but pretty soon each
time it would take him it would become a
little bit more difficult and a little
bit more difficult and the older guy say
would you argue in behalf of of this
legislation for me I said sure I started
volunteering to do work in the
legislative committees for the older
guys I said absolutely and the more I
did it the better I became and then
people began to start respecting me and
when I would ask her said Mr Speaker I
like to speak on that bill so guys let’s
start wriggling and stuff like Jimmy I didn’t say anything wrong do we have
a lot of places we would like to go a
lot of things we would like to
experience and we just stop at buck and
we bill a case in fact I was reading
something the other day that that talked
about but it says but is an argument for

or another option the captain said to
the guy listen he said tomorrow morning
at 6 o’clock you can face the firing
squad or you can go out this door over
here and the guy said what’s off the
door
he said no one knows all we can tell you
just unknown horrors he thought and the
next morning he selected the firing
squad after the shots rang out the
captain’s secretary said what’s beyond
that door and he said freedom but very
few people would select to do it because
it’s unknown see a lot of people never
live their dreams a lot of people never
do the things they want to do a lot of
people stay on jobs where they’re
miserable I reckon I don’t recall is
your job making you sick a lot of people
some of y’all know about that already
they’re going to say hey man it’s
alright that one lady to me she said
less when I used to go to work she said
when I stepped in the door felt like a
refrigerator dropped on my shoulders how
many all understand that kind of feeling
they were miserable just hated to go
after 60 minutes on Sunday afternoon or
come Monday morning my head used to
thrive I just couldn’t take it didn’t
want to go sometimes just just for the
heck of I just drive on by I used to
hate to go to work many of us choose an
active living death many of us are
Walking Dead The Walking Dead that we’re
not doing what we want to do many of us
stay in relationships where we’re dying
together rather than growing and
expanding and living together we’re
miserable but because we don’t have the
courage to see ourselves beyond that
relationship that has turned toxic we go
through life living dead people and then
you can always tell couples that have
been together for a little while go in a
restaurant the one sitting side-by-side
giggling and talking to each other
feed each other with their Farkus food
they just got together forward we you
see him in the car they sitting all of
each other hug or they’ve been together
about three days all right
but if you see people to the restaurant
to you know see a couple and they’re
sitting in front of each other take so
long for this food I wonder when they go
hurry up those are married was four
years living in two separate rooms
sleeping in two separate beds well is
cheaper to keep it not necessarily it’s
according to the price you want to pay
see the price of peace of mind the price
of living the truth of being honest with
your servants at wait a minute it’s
gotta be more than this so you’ve got to
decide wait wait even if I I think don’t
work out even if I experienced defeat a
failure that does not make me a failure
it’s the difference between failing and
being a failure if you if things don’t
work out if you don’t produce the
results you want that’s all but don’t
confuse who you are with the results
that you produce I used to be a state
legislator in Columbus Ohio and I
remember once I who was going to
introduce some legislation on the floor
and after getting that legislation
passed a guy came up behind me and he
had some legislation that I opposed him
on that and I was about to stand up to
debate this guy and got next to me said
skew don’t don’t debate that guy why do
you know who that is I said no it’s will
Koski from Toledo it’s a bad dude he’s a
lawyer less man can debate I don’t care
where’s my hand miss mr. speaker you
said the gentleman from the 29th House
District say yes urge to tell the
gentleman I like to take him on
challenge him on this legislation he
said will cause he said I would more
than like to mr. speaker
everybody say whoa I asked him some
questions he responded I say I wonder
why instead man that question well cos
he won’t be out I mean I was up there
and I just lifted back to my rule about
yes I get out up top however here’s what
I learned when you win see you if I win
a debate I win because of what I know
when I lose I lose because what I don’t
know so I had to check out what is it
that I did not know I wasn’t prepared I
did not do enough research I did not do
my homework so he held with me like he
wanted to so I came back again I waited
on some other legislation did my
homework but he was more than able to
take me out again but pretty soon each
time it would take him it would become a
little bit more difficult and a little
bit more difficult and the older guy say
would you argue in behalf of of this
legislation for me I said sure I started
volunteering to do work in the
legislative committees for the older
guys I said absolutely and the more I
did it the better I became and then
people began to start respecting me and
when I would ask her said Mr Speaker I
like to speak on that bill so guys let’s
start wriggling and stuff like Jimmy I didn’t say anything wrong do we have
