it is not the movement of the clock that
produces the newness of life it is the
movement in your mind
you hear all kinds of things said about
the enemies that you see today you will
no weapon formed against you shall be
able to cross
– salamati is everybody in here is going
through a change you don’t have to be
ashamed of yours you’re all in the
process of transforming to a higher
better expression of muscle
let this be the year that I’m worth a
higher better expression of Moscow
don’t let the habits of my past stop me
from this metamorphosis new year
what separates us
it’s transformation
[Music]
the possibility of change the desire to
evolve the passion to get up off the
ground and stop eating dirt I’m tired of
doing what I used to do if I always do
what I’ve always done I’ll always be
where I’ve always been toward the head
somebody in this room then that nobody
would think would be in a church survive
but you drew them to this place tonight
because you want them to be a newbie in
a new year and have a new attitude and a
new mind cause the feel battleground is
in your mind that’s where the fight is
you lay down with it you get up with it
you go to work with it you can’t digest
your food because of it smiling in front
of people and nobody knows that there’s
gunfire going off in your head it’s not
a geographical location it’s not dead
it’s not money it’s not haters it’s not
enemies it’s not liars it’s not
backbiting that’s not the battleground
stop wasting your weapons on what people
say because it is not what they say
about you that matters it is what you
say about you that threatens your
destiny
you will never be defeated by what they
say about you you will be defeated by
what you say about you I dedicate this
to you to the greatness in you and to
the dream that you showed up on the
planet to produce and it’s simply this
if you want to thank bad enough to go
out and fight for it to work day and
night for it to give up your time your
peace and your sleep for it if all that
you dream and scheme is about it and
life seems useless and worthless without
it and if you gladly sweat for it in
fretboard and plan for it and lose all
your terror of the opposition for it and
if you simply go after that thing that
you want with all of your capacity
strength and sagacity Faith Hope and
confidence and stern pertinacity if
neither cold poverty famished result
sickness of pain of body and brain can
keep you away from the thing that you
want if dogged and grim you beseech and
beset it with the help of God your good
have greatness in you what I’m trying to
tell you beloved is that you can have a
new year but if don’t mean Jack diddly
I’m telling you that you can buy a new
car but if you put the whole man in a
new car you still want to have the old
experience I’m telling you that a new
house doesn’t make a new marriage I’m
talking about a new outfit that make you
a new person and if you think you are
magically gonna be a new person I hate
to be the bearer of bad news because new
life comes from a new man and a new way
of looking at your life I cannot step
into the future and still think in my
past I cannot let the rumors have the
stain of what they said about me destroy
my opportunity slap somebody tell them I
gotta kill it tonight
I gotta destroy it tonight I gotta get
rid of it tonight
I got a thorn behind me tonight I can’t
drag that same old mess into another
year
are you committed
because without commitment nothing
[Music]
if you don’t learn to give like you
learn to get every area that there is
not reciprocity it will die reciprocity
what do you give back for what you get
[Music]
they’re not committed you’re not gonna
make it even the ones with the
personalities you don’t like you have to
be committed through the storm and the
rain and the heartache and the pain and
the disappointment you have to believe
in the we and the us and not the me and
the you or you’re not gonna make it it’s
[Music]
until you have had the taste of
finishing you will not respect yourself
until you follow through until something
is done come hell or high water tears
and struggles and pain and you go
through it anyway and you show up and
you continue to fight oh and no matter
the circumstances after a while
something begins to wither inside of it
anytime you need something that you
can’t give to yourself you’re at the
mercy of somebody else and when they
don’t come through
you got pain and what you become is the
it’s an urge it’s an urge to be told
every champion has felt it every
president has felt it every King has
felt that every lion has felt it every
winner as he felt it every soldier has
felt in every victorious person has felt
it the urge don’t you give up on your
dream I don’t care if you don’t have the
money you don’t have the help and you
don’t have the family forward and you
don’t have the background for it and you
don’t have any friends for it don’t you
give up on your dream don’t you do it
don’t you do it don’t you do it
it may take you twice as long you may
have to take courses and classes you may
not grieve as fast you might not move as
quick you might not have as much but
don’t to quit you do make a difference
you do make a difference
you do make a difference as weakness you
are as tired as you are as many mistakes
as you made you do make a difference
there is something they would lose if
you were not there there was something
that they would miss if you were not
there you do make a difference we all
have things that we’re believing for
dreams that we want to accomplish
problems we’re hoping we’ll turn around
maybe it’s to see our family restored to
lose some weight to break an addiction
to start our own business but sometimes
as it goes on month after month even
year after year we don’t see anything
changing it’s easy to get discouraged
and think it’s never going to happen
this is as good as it gets
I’ve just learn to live with we all go
through disappointments setbacks loss
pain is a part of life it’s easy to get
discouraged even bitter like why is this
happening to me
sometimes we look at pieces in our lives
that don’t make sense the key is what we
do in our times of pain pain will change
us heartache loss disappointments they
don’t leave us the same every painful
time even though you don’t like it it’s
developing something in you that can
only be developed in the tough times
eventually that will pass you’ll get
through it
but you will be different in those tough
times when you’re uncomfortable going
through a loss dealing with an illness
you could easily let it overwhelm you
now how the pain changes you is up to
you you can come out bitter or you can
come out better you can come out
defeated giving up on your dreams or you
can come out with a new passion a new
fire excited about the new opportunities
in front of you I may not like it but
I’m not a whiner
I’m a warrior I know I can handle this
don’t complain about the pain without
the pain we couldn’t reach the fullness
of our destinies sometimes we bring pain
on ourselves we make poor choices get in
a relationship we know is not good maybe
get over our head and our spending
now it’s painted we’re having to deal
all of us experience pain my challenge
don’t just go through it grow through it
that difficulty is an opportunity to get
stronger to develop character to gain
new companies anybody can give up
anybody can let it overwhelm you but you
know what that’s doing wasting your pain
that pain is not there to stop you it’s
there to prepare you to increase you to
develop you difficulties are a part of
life now quit telling yourself you can’t
take it you’re not weak you are well
able eventually the pain will pass
you’ll give birth to new strengths just
because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t
mean that it’s not going to happen there
will always be forces trying to convince
us to settle where we are life has a way
of pushing our dreams down they can
become buried under discouragement
buried under past mistakes there are
dreams buried under divorce buried under
low self-esteem
it’s easy to settle for mediocrity even
though we have all this potential buried
on the inside what are you remembering
the hurt the pain or didn’t work out
turn it around and remember your dream
have you allowed any dreams to get
buried
you at one time you believed you could
do something great you believed you
could lead the company in sales you
believed you could break that addiction
there’s been a long time had some bad
breaks wasn’t all your fault
you could easily settle where you are
nobody would fault you the enemy would
love to deceive you into burying your
dream thinking that it’s never going to
work out don’t believe those lives it’s
not too late to become all that you were
created to be every time you remember
your dream you’re removing some dirt
you’re digging it back out the true mark
of a champion is even though some dirt
gets thrown on your dream instead of
letting it get buried you keep shaking
it off you keep moving forward you
wouldn’t be having that opposition if
you didn’t have something great in you
if your dream wasn’t alive and on trial
right on schedule to come to pass you
wouldn’t have so many things coming
against you that dream is still alive
you may have tried a year ago five years
ago or 40 years ago didn’t work out
nobody was there to help you go back and
try again this is your time this is your
moment your destiny is calling out to
you
can I tell you your dream is not dead
it’s just not in season your time is
coming
promotion is coming good breaks are
coming promises you’ve been standing on
dreams you’ve been praying about lack is
not your destiny constantly struggling
barely getting by is not the end of your
story these light afflictions are for a
moment
the adversity is temporary the glory is
eternal there are some dreams shut up in
you like fire you’re going to feel your
destiny calling out may not have
happened the first time the loan didn’t
go through you didn’t get chosen for the
part
the medical report wasn’t good that’s
okay it’s still in you this is your time
this is your moment shake off the doubt
shake off the negativity you’re at the
right place you’re at the right time now
all you’ve got to do is get in the right
frame of mind but I believe this is my
year to get healthy and home this is my
year to meet the people of my dreams
this is my year to go further in my
career to step into a new level of my
destiny this is my year to accomplish
dreams to break free from this
depression this is my year to meet the
right people this is my year to get
healthy and home this is your year to
see double this is your year for
vindication for restoration for new
beginnings
now get your mind going in the right
direction in what you’ve done with your
life thus far is it giving you what you
want is it giving you what you want when
you look to want the future when you
look at all this going on out here is
there some place within yourself you say
hey I know I need to be out there in
that arena I know I can do more than
what I’ve been doing I know there’s some
great music that I have within me that I
haven’t brought out here is that
something that you begin to look at
within yourself see I say if you look at
your life and if you’re not getting what
you want you owe it to yourself to do
something differently you are if you own
a job 85 percent they say of Americans
go to jobs but they’re unhappy if you’re
doing something 8 hours a day that you
don’t like it’s not giving you what you
want is not giving you
a strong feeling of satisfaction and
fulfillment you’re miserable you hate to
go there you’re depressed just thinking
about it you’re saying they thank God
it’s Friday song every week if that’s
what it is you owe it to yourself to
start to teach eclis working to change
directions see but you know what most
people will do most people will resist
change
most people will fight change as if
change would be worse than what they’re
experiencing see they know this they’re
familiar with this most people will not
challenge the unknown they won’t just
step out there see they well see there
certain things has got to be in place
they got to see it all together in life
isn’t like that that’s not how you grow
so as you look at your life you’re
saying I’m not getting what I want and
you begin to look toward the future
begin to know that whatever it takes for
you to create that you’ve got that in
you if you’ve got that you’ve got genius
in you you’ve got goodness in you you’ve
got creativeness
in you if you decide to take the
initiative to change the current quality
of your life I say to you that you will
find that the universe is on your side
that life is on your side not will it be
turbulent yes would it be easy no no
when you have some opposition yes will I
make a lot of mistakes yes will I get
hurt yes
yes see a lot of people won’t try
anything different in life because they
don’t want to get hurt let me tell you
something it’s too much pain to duck
pain is everywhere you can hide under
here it will come where you are it’s
everywhere Viktor Frankl cause it
unavoidable suffering you can’t duck it
but most people spend their life not
wanting to deal with the pain of
rejection the pain of defeat the pain of
being disappointed the pain of losing
the pain of failure the pain of being
criticized the pain of not being liked
the pain the pain the pain that’s all
right
life is thought pain it’s everywhere but
guess what there’s no gain without pain
because it’s the pain of regret that’s
your experience if I had it to do over
again that’s a pain don’t you know
that’s it when you know I was in a
seminar once and this lady stood up if I
had my life to live over again she
talked about all of the things that she
would do and you can feel the pain of
regret
[Music]
she’s still experience pain she was
trying not to experience the pain of
defeat the pain of disappointment the
pain of loss the pain of lack of support
and she still experienced pain it was
right there we can’t get around it
most people are governed by their habits
their fears and the opinions of others a
lot of people never try anything
differently because they have been
convinced by people in their lives that
they value that they can’t do it they’re
living within the context of the
opinions that other people have a bit
the low expectations many people doubt
themselves because when they thought
about doing something at some critical
point in their life somebody they
respected and honored somebody they
believed in somebody that they loved
someone they trusted said you can’t do
that and they accepted that as you look
at your life ask yourself the question
what would your life be like what would
your life look like if you decided not
to care what people thought of you
[Music]
what would your life be like if you
what would your life be like if you
decided to become courageous over to
light the life if you decided to act on
your dream if you did what you felt in
your heart you know courageous means a
Tom Ruskin and Randy Reed said they said
that courage comes from a French word
which means of the heart that how does
it feel to you
he says it’s courage you know it takes
courage to live just most people go
through life not allowing themselves to
step out because they don’t want to let
go they don’t want to be blown around
they don’t want to be moved the courage
to face life’s whirling wind of
contradictions the courage to love
yourself the courage to love for years I
was afraid to love the courage to take a
he says courage isn’t for somebody else
for metals applause of all debts courage
is look at that moment feels most right
for you
not just situational ethics but what
feels right in your heart the word at
the heart what feels right in your heart
one great philosopher says cowards die
many times before their deaths
the valiant never taste of death but
once what does that mean the valiant
people aren’t afraid no no no it means
that they experience that here and they
move forward and move forward any how
many people are dead now many people
allowing their dreams to die
many people applying the idea is to lie
dormant and collect dust
many people have all this talent and
ability that they are lying to be
embarrassed of them that they will take
with them to their graves because they
didn’t have the courage to be who they
are and I say as you begin to look
toward the future and manifesting your
greatness it’s going to take every
in you everything in you that your life
deserves the concentrated effort to
begin to look at how is it that I can
express more of me how is it that I can
bring my ideas out here now how is it
and start living with a sense of urgency
because you’re here today you’re gone
today life is unpredictable it’s
uncertain there’s no guarantees no
guarantees out here at all so holding
back what are you waiting on ask
yourself what’s the benefit of your
waiting what’s the benefit of your not
living your dream what’s the benefit of
not listening to yourself hold please
listen to yourself you know the feelings
that you start listening to the feelings
in your heart and I’m doing it Nam war
every day I find that my feelings I can
trust them and I say to you that as you
look toward the future you look at life
on a daily basis if there’s something
that you have been given if you’ve heard
something within yourself that you know
that that what you’re doing now doesn’t
fit for you it doesn’t work for you it’s
not giving you what you want and there’s
something else that you want to do don’t
allow that inner doubt in you to talk
you out of it to build a case on why you
can’t have it to tell you why you’re not
good enough you ignore that inner voice
and all of the external voices don’t
judge the possibilities for what you can
do based upon the circumstances because
the circumstances won’t determine who
you are don’t determine what you’re able
to do based upon your resources don’t
determine what’s possible for you based
upon where your life is right now where
your life is right now is not you that’s
just what it is right now but the
possibilities for you are unlimited
if you’re in a rebuilding process it’s
unlimited if you’re coming back from
adversity and devastation it’s unlimited
of what you can do
that’s the capacity of human beings it
doesn’t matter how many mistakes she’s
made doesn’t matter how many flops
you’ve had doesn’t matter how much money
you’ve lost in fact I see it only as an
investment which you learned from life
not losses but investments what’s
possible for you and I say to you that
once you start listening to yourself and
as you began to act on your dream as you
start just trying to find your way doing
what you can with what you have you will
start seeing things opening up for you
start attracting people you say where’d
it come from
things will start coming together
clicking for you you say whoa you start
brainstorming ideas will come out of
nowhere as you focus on it the key to it
is to begin to focus on what it is you
want to do why less why is that
important because as you focus on that
which you want to do that which we focus
on that which we give our energy to it
will begin to multiply it will begin to
expand it will begin to develop your
consciousness and out of that comes your
greatness out of that comes a commitment
out of that comes a passion for life out
of that comes a special power that you
have in you that you haven’t even called
on yet see the powers that we have will
never reveal themselves if we don’t
challenge them if we don’t put ourselves
in the position where we have to use
them so one of the most important things
is reading a book that’s a really
interesting book called instant
millionaire and the guy said put
yourself in a position where you can’t
retreat where it’s do-or-die sink or
swim
here’s what you’ll find out you’ll
develop incredible swimming skills
you’ll find yourself struggling like
you’ve ever seen before through the
inspiration of desperation you’ll become
more creative than ever before so what
is it how do we handle that whole piece
throw your whole self into it see most
people go at it tentatively they don’t
give all their stuff they don’t
concentrate they don’t put everything
they’ve got
one guy wrote a book called all you can
do is all you can do and all you can do
is enough but he said make sure you do
all you can do and if we honest this
evening we know that we haven’t done all
we can do so as we look at the future we
can decide that from this day forward as
I look at my personal relationships if I
look at my professional relationships if
I look at my family relationships if I
look at all the dimensions of my life
looking at myself mentally emotionally
and spiritually I’m going to do all I
can do to develop me to bring my talent
out here to make a contribution to life [Music]
produces the newness of life it is the
movement in your mind
you hear all kinds of things said about
the enemies that you see today you will

nobody was there to help you go back and
try again this is your time this is your
moment your destiny is calling out to
you
can I tell you your dream is not dead
it’s just not in season your time is
coming
promotion is coming good breaks are
coming promises you’ve been standing on
dreams you’ve been praying about lack is
not your destiny constantly struggling
barely getting by is not the end of your
story these light afflictions are for a
moment
the adversity is temporary the glory is
eternal there are some dreams shut up in
you like fire you’re going to feel your
destiny calling out may not have
happened the first time the loan didn’t
go through you didn’t get chosen for the
part
the medical report wasn’t good that’s
okay it’s still in you this is your time
this is your moment shake off the doubt
shake off the negativity you’re at the
right place you’re at the right time now
all you’ve got to do is get in the right
frame of mind but I believe this is my
year to get healthy and home this is my
year to meet the people of my dreams
this is my year to go further in my
career to step into a new level of my
destiny this is my year to accomplish
dreams to break free from this
depression this is my year to meet the
right people this is my year to get
healthy and home this is your year to
see double this is your year for
vindication for restoration for new
beginnings
now get your mind going in the right
direction in what you’ve done with your
life thus far is it giving you what you
want is it giving you what you want when
you look to want the future when you
look at all this going on out here is
there some place within yourself you say
hey I know I need to be out there in
that arena I know I can do more than
what I’ve been doing I know there’s some
great music that I have within me that I
haven’t brought out here is that
something that you begin to look at
within yourself see I say if you look at
your life and if you’re not getting what
you want you owe it to yourself to do
something differently you are if you own
a job 85 percent they say of Americans
go to jobs but they’re unhappy if you’re
doing something 8 hours a day that you
don’t like it’s not giving you what you
want is not giving you
a strong feeling of satisfaction and
fulfillment you’re miserable you hate to
go there you’re depressed just thinking
about it you’re saying they thank God
it’s Friday song every week if that’s
what it is you owe it to yourself to
start to teach eclis working to change
directions see but you know what most
people will do most people will resist
change
most people will fight change as if
change would be worse than what they’re
experiencing see they know this they’re
familiar with this most people will not
challenge the unknown they won’t just
step out there see they well see there
certain things has got to be in place
they got to see it all together in life
isn’t like that that’s not how you grow
so as you look at your life you’re
saying I’m not getting what I want and
you begin to look toward the future
begin to know that whatever it takes for
you to create that you’ve got that in
you if you’ve got that you’ve got genius
in you you’ve got goodness in you you’ve
got creativeness
in you if you decide to take the
initiative to change the current quality
of your life I say to you that you will
find that the universe is on your side
that life is on your side not will it be
turbulent yes would it be easy no no
when you have some opposition yes will I
make a lot of mistakes yes will I get
hurt yes
yes see a lot of people won’t try
anything different in life because they
don’t want to get hurt let me tell you
something it’s too much pain to duck
pain is everywhere you can hide under
here it will come where you are it’s
everywhere Viktor Frankl cause it
unavoidable suffering you can’t duck it
but most people spend their life not
wanting to deal with the pain of
rejection the pain of defeat the pain of
being disappointed the pain of losing
the pain of failure the pain of being
criticized the pain of not being liked
the pain the pain the pain that’s all
right
life is thought pain it’s everywhere but
guess what there’s no gain without pain
because it’s the pain of regret that’s
your experience if I had it to do over
again that’s a pain don’t you know
that’s it when you know I was in a
seminar once and this lady stood up if I
had my life to live over again she
talked about all of the things that she
would do and you can feel the pain of
regret
[Music]
she’s still experience pain she was
trying not to experience the pain of
defeat the pain of disappointment the
pain of loss the pain of lack of support
and she still experienced pain it was
right there we can’t get around it
most people are governed by their habits
their fears and the opinions of others a
lot of people never try anything
differently because they have been
convinced by people in their lives that
they value that they can’t do it they’re
living within the context of the
opinions that other people have a bit
the low expectations many people doubt
themselves because when they thought
about doing something at some critical
point in their life somebody they
respected and honored somebody they
believed in somebody that they loved
someone they trusted said you can’t do
that and they accepted that as you look
at your life ask yourself the question
what would your life be like what would
your life look like if you decided not
to care what people thought of you
[Music]
what would your life be like if you
what would your life be like if you
decided to become courageous over to
light the life if you decided to act on
your dream if you did what you felt in
your heart you know courageous means a
Tom Ruskin and Randy Reed said they said
that courage comes from a French word
which means of the heart that how does
it feel to you
he says it’s courage you know it takes
courage to live just most people go
through life not allowing themselves to
step out because they don’t want to let
go they don’t want to be blown around
they don’t want to be moved the courage
to face life’s whirling wind of
contradictions the courage to love
yourself the courage to love for years I
was afraid to love the courage to take a
he says courage isn’t for somebody else
for metals applause of all debts courage
is look at that moment feels most right
for you
not just situational ethics but what
feels right in your heart the word at
the heart what feels right in your heart
one great philosopher says cowards die
many times before their deaths
the valiant never taste of death but
once what does that mean the valiant
people aren’t afraid no no no it means
that they experience that here and they
move forward and move forward any how
many people are dead now many people
allowing their dreams to die
many people applying the idea is to lie
dormant and collect dust
many people have all this talent and
ability that they are lying to be
embarrassed of them that they will take
with them to their graves because they
didn’t have the courage to be who they
are and I say as you begin to look
toward the future and manifesting your
greatness it’s going to take every
in you everything in you that your life
deserves the concentrated effort to
begin to look at how is it that I can
express more of me how is it that I can
bring my ideas out here now how is it
and start living with a sense of urgency
because you’re here today you’re gone
today life is unpredictable it’s
uncertain there’s no guarantees no
guarantees out here at all so holding
back what are you waiting on ask
yourself what’s the benefit of your
waiting what’s the benefit of your not
living your dream what’s the benefit of
not listening to yourself hold please
listen to yourself you know the feelings
that you start listening to the feelings
in your heart and I’m doing it Nam war
every day I find that my feelings I can
trust them and I say to you that as you
look toward the future you look at life
on a daily basis if there’s something
that you have been given if you’ve heard
something within yourself that you know
that that what you’re doing now doesn’t
fit for you it doesn’t work for you it’s
not giving you what you want and there’s
something else that you want to do don’t
allow that inner doubt in you to talk
you out of it to build a case on why you
can’t have it to tell you why you’re not
good enough you ignore that inner voice
and all of the external voices don’t
judge the possibilities for what you can
do based upon the circumstances because
the circumstances won’t determine who
you are don’t determine what you’re able
to do based upon your resources don’t
determine what’s possible for you based
upon where your life is right now where
your life is right now is not you that’s
just what it is right now but the
possibilities for you are unlimited
if you’re in a rebuilding process it’s
unlimited if you’re coming back from
adversity and devastation it’s unlimited
of what you can do
that’s the capacity of human beings it
doesn’t matter how many mistakes she’s
made doesn’t matter how many flops
you’ve had doesn’t matter how much money
you’ve lost in fact I see it only as an
investment which you learned from life
not losses but investments what’s
possible for you and I say to you that
once you start listening to yourself and
as you began to act on your dream as you
start just trying to find your way doing
what you can with what you have you will
start seeing things opening up for you
start attracting people you say where’d
it come from
things will start coming together
clicking for you you say whoa you start
brainstorming ideas will come out of
nowhere as you focus on it the key to it
is to begin to focus on what it is you
want to do why less why is that
important because as you focus on that
which you want to do that which we focus
on that which we give our energy to it
will begin to multiply it will begin to
expand it will begin to develop your
consciousness and out of that comes your
greatness out of that comes a commitment
out of that comes a passion for life out
of that comes a special power that you
have in you that you haven’t even called
on yet see the powers that we have will
never reveal themselves if we don’t
challenge them if we don’t put ourselves
in the position where we have to use
them so one of the most important things
is reading a book that’s a really
interesting book called instant
millionaire and the guy said put
yourself in a position where you can’t
retreat where it’s do-or-die sink or
swim
here’s what you’ll find out you’ll
develop incredible swimming skills
you’ll find yourself struggling like
you’ve ever seen before through the
inspiration of desperation you’ll become
more creative than ever before so what
is it how do we handle that whole piece
throw your whole self into it see most
people go at it tentatively they don’t
give all their stuff they don’t
concentrate they don’t put everything
they’ve got
one guy wrote a book called all you can
do is all you can do and all you can do
is enough but he said make sure you do
all you can do and if we honest this
evening we know that we haven’t done all
we can do so as we look at the future we
can decide that from this day forward as
I look at my personal relationships if I
look at my professional relationships if
I look at my family relationships if I
look at all the dimensions of my life
looking at myself mentally emotionally
and spiritually I’m going to do all I
can do to develop me to bring my talent
out here to make a contribution to life [Music]
