what is one thing that you would love to
see happen this year that you would like
to do for yourself is this the year you
write the book is this the year you quit
your job and you start your own company
is this the year that you doubled sales
is this the year that you make seven
figures
is this the year that you get rid of the
loser that you’ve been with forever
is this the year that you get the but
like what is it for you that you really
want my life changed a couple years ago
and I discovered something called the
progress principle people that feel
happy and successful and fulfilled by
their lives and work they all have one
thing in common they feel as though
they’re making progress on something
that matters so I read this little bit
of research and I started applying it to
my life and what I do as stupid as this
sounds it really works I don’t focus on
balancing everything I focus on just
making sure that I make progress on one
thing a day that’s right you heard me
one thing a day that matters to me I
have a question for you what’s your next
I’m dead serious what is the next
chapter of your life I don’t care how
young you are how old you are I want to
turn the tables back on you I want you
to think about where you’ve been I want
there is a new chapter starting in your
life in your business and your
relationships and it’s going to start
right now
so what is it do you know exactly what
you’re afraid of you know exactly what
you’ve been avoiding and you got to make
a decision to change in you know exactly
what it is don’t be us anybody you know
what you need to do different you know
the changes you need to make and if you
could do that you stop keeping yourself
you can win you can overcome your fear
overcome procrastination you know you
know when you are guilty of wasting time
and laying in bed and you’re being lazy
you know it whether that was seven
o’clock in the morning or six o’clock in
the morning you know it you ever wake up
and you feel that sense of dread you got
a job you hate going to you got a body
that you don’t like you just don’t feel
that good
so believe it or not understand that
anxiety worry procrastination self-doubt
they are all habits self-doubt is a
habit it’s a behavior a thinking pattern
that you repeat over and over and then
it becomes automated in today’s world
this is the number one skill for you
self-control I think that everybody
wants freedom in all the various aspects
of their lives of course everyone wants
financial freedom everyone wants to have
more free time those are two really easy
examples to understand and if you want
to have financial freedom love and how
are you going to get there the answer is
you have to have financial discipline
and same thing with more free time if
you want to have more free time then you
have to have a more disciplined time
management schedule I want you to
leverage the progress principle I want
you every morning to write down one
thing that mat like that that you can do
just one thing take forward is forward I
don’t care as follows because what
happens is when you start to see
yourself taking action on something
that’s important to you whether it’s
just researching or taking the online
course or just buying a book or just
having a conversation or just watching a
video if you do that every single day
what happens is you start to see
yourself becoming the kind of person
that’s doing it this is the secret to
everything
you know people say how can I get
disciplined in my life and I tell them
step number one is wake up early it
seems like safety and in the morning is
a form of freedom because hey I don’t
have to do anything I’m just gonna sleep
in but the reality is is when you sleep
in now you don’t get things done and now
those things that you were supposed to
do aren’t done and now the next day you
have to wake up early and get them done
not because you want to but because you
have to so you’ve become a slave to the
fact that you didn’t have discipline so
if you actually want to have freedom in
your life you have to implement
discipline on yourself and and I’m not
advocating because it’s unhealthy to not
sleep enough you know and if you need
eight hours go to bed earlier but you
know and I’m not saying you need to wake
up at four o’clock in the morning but I
am saying this if you want to wake up
early in the morning go to bed earlier
well that’s real simple to say but it’s
hard to do it’s it’s hard to do number
one when you’re looking at your phone
it’s hard to do when you’re staring at
your computer screen it’s hard to do
when you’re watching TV those things are
meant they’re designed to make you keep
looking at them and so you do so what
you do is turn those things off and try
and go to bed now the first night you’re
gonna have a hard time going to sleep
what you do is the next morning you wake
up early anyways along the journey
there’s gonna be things that you need to
do but you don’t necessarily want to do
but those things are critical to your
success excellence is an art one by
training and habituation we do not act
rightly because we have virtue or
excellence but rather we have those
because we have acted rightly we are
what we repeatedly do
excellence then is not an act but a
habit the most important thing you can
do is win the morning just win the more
than that I think that’s true for all of
us even high-performance like I I don’t
have my morning routine game I feel you
know out of sorts so I think it’s true
for everybody you gotta own your morning
you gotta women because that starts and
sets up everything else I know you
believe that as well like people need
that discipline those routines that will
help the rest their day go better you
need to focus on doing better every
frickin day or your life if doing better
is not the main thing it will not be a
thing at all
if being successful is not the main
thing it will become nothing to feel
more confident about the things that you
want to do in your next chapter
it begins with being willing to try it
starts with that otherwise you get
trapped in hesitating just stop thinking
whirring looking over your shoulder
hoping for some easy way out stop it and
just do listen to me you got to make a
decision what’s the decision what’s the
decision what have you been hesitating
on what are you afraid of face it right
now what do you need to decide is it
getting aggressive is it believe it in
yourself is it reaching out to somebody
is it a recruit you’ve missed is it
coming full time I don’t know what it is
for you what’s the decision maybe
there’s someone in your life that needed
to get out of your life maybe there’s
someone you need in it and you need tell
them you love them and get them back in
and I don’t know but I know this it’s
only a thought if you don’t take an
action the difference between a thought
and a decision is an action so we know
and you know you just decided and you
here’s the hard truth about getting
great it takes time and dedication it
takes a willingness to accept that
you’re not yet good enough it takes the
ability to stare at the places that you
know that you’re weak to really look at
those things and not let it affect your
sense of self-esteem and not let it
affect your sense of self-worth so that
you can still get the momentum going but
you have to understand that in the
beginning we’re all terrible
and as Henri cartier-bresson said your
first 10,000 photographs are your worst
and so the thing that really makes great
art are the people that continue to push
and the people that continue to work and
face how inadequate they are and really
understand that at the end of the day
greatness is a craft greatness is a
process greatness is a habit greatness
is the little things that you do every
day
overtime going out every day unafraid of
whether or not this is one of the 10,000
terrible things that you’re going to do
it’s being unafraid to make those
mistakes as being unafraid that you’re
not yet great and as Marianne rad maker
said courage doesn’t always war
sometimes courage is the quiet voice at
the end of the day saying I will try
again tomorrow
and that’s it if you want to be great
that’s when you have to do
you’ve got to get up again tomorrow
you’ve got to be willing to face another
day you’ve got to be willing to accept
that you’ve got to get through the bad
ideas before you can get to the good
you’ve got to understand that you have
to start as an apprentice you have to
start as a person going and getting tea
and you have to accept that that’s the
job that you should be playing that you
should be working for somebody else you
should be looking up to somebody else’s
seeing what they can teach you because
what you know is that you’re there to
learn what you know is that you’re there
to get through the ten thousand bad
photographs that you need to get through
to ultimately achieve greatness and if
you make the catastrophic error that’s
so many make to try to tell them all of
your extraordinary today to try to get
the world to follow you and look up to
you and think you’re something today
because the people that really win are
the ones that
today the ones that listen today the
ones that spend every ounce of their
energy amassing mastery getting better
every day working their asses off to
improve their skill set to relentlessly
look at the things that they’re not
doing well to understand that they have
to break themselves down and get rid of
all of their ego before they can really
find greatness those are the people that
we remember we don’t think we’re wired
or programmed to do something great well
I’m telling you that thought is nothing
but a fear nothing but a doubt it’s what
holds you in place you got to work hard
on understanding you have within you the
power to change the power to do
something great and those fears are
gonna crop up particularly in the middle
of the night when you wake up and you’re
scared to death about what to do they’re
gonna crop up and they’re gonna hold you
in place quite often if you’re trying
something different they crop up in the
middle of your dreams when you’re asleep
at night those fears and doubts creep in
understand they’re not real they are
things in your head that have been
programmed into you by your past life
wrestle with those fears you’ll never
conquer them but control and go out and
live the life you deserve choose to win
control your thinking and go win be
too often we make our plans without
consulting God then we ask him to bless
those plans we wonder why it’s a
struggle why it feels like it’s always
uphill we have it backwards we’re making
a move and then asking God for help the
right way is to ask God first God what
do you want me to do should I date this
person should I start this new project
should I make this purchase if you feel
peace about it then move forward if not
hold on knowing that God knows what’s
best for you the difference between
successful people and people that
struggle are successful people exude joy
other people may try to disapprove you
don’t go around feeling less than
feeling inferior our attitude should be
I am approved by Almighty God I am
accepted I am a masterpiece when you
talk like that the seeds of greatness
God’s placed on the inside will begin to
spring forward see you have gifts and
talents that you’ve not yet tapped into
there is a treasure on the inside
throughout life the enemy will do his
best to try to keep it pushed down he
doesn’t want us to reach our full
potential that’s why there are forces
constantly trying to make us feel
intimidated inferior unqualified if
you’re going to fulfill your destiny
you’ve got to shake off the negative
voices shake off the thoughts that are
telling you I am unable I am unqualified
no don’t invite weakness in don’t give
intimidation and invitation the mistake
that we all make
is that we tend to focus on something
way too big and that gap can start to be
the thing that makes you feel lost we
live in a society that’s filled with a
lot of negative chatter through the
internet social media it’s becoming
normal to be disrespectful people think
nothing of being condescending saying
hurtful critical things more than ever
people need your healing words you have
the power to put someone on their feet
you have the power to keep them from
falling into depression you have the
power to cause them to pursue their
dreams but without your blessing without
your encouragement your compliments they
won’t become what they should become
don’t miss these opportunities don’t be
too caught up in your career in your
challenges take time to be a healer to
be a lifter God needs you he has no
voice to encourage on this earth except
your voice I’m the kind of person that
believes you should always make
decisions with your heart and soul you
can use your brain for math you can use
your brain to look at the fine print in
a contract but when it comes to the
actual feel of the decision you always
want to go inward and check it against
your heart and soul how do you do that
here’s the simple test does the decision
that you’re about to make expand you
expand your future or expand the
possibilities of your life if the answer
is yes then the decision is yes no
matter how terrifying it is
I want to remind us all reminder to me
but also to you that doing is what
matters now you know I want to explain
maybe I’ll talk about a couple of points
one I’m not suggesting that you do no
planning and what I am suggesting is
that you do
way less planning because the planning
is the thing that can act as a crutch
it’s it’s motion but no progress you
have to work if you want to succeed but
the truth is you have to be working at
the right things at the right
opportunity too many of us spend our
whole life poor in time energy effort
and work into something that’s going to
make somebody else wealthy or make
somebody else success you have to choose
where you put your efforts so be the
best authentic you can be work on
yourself focus on yourself understand
your strengths and weaknesses and find
ways to put yourself in a place where
your strengths are magnified when you
get up in the morning don’t focus on all
your flaws look in the mirror and dare
to say I am beautiful I am young I am
vibrant I am confident I am secure what
you have accomplished so far is only a
fraction of what’s truly possible
for you you are far more powerful
capable and gifted than you allow
yourself to be the only thing separating
you from your grandest vision of your
life is courage muster the courage to
declare that right now this year is your
turning point make a decision when the
clock strikes midnight next year you’ll
be able to look back at this moment and
this year as your pivotal turning point
for the dream life you’ll be enjoying
I’ve enjoyed convincing is that you’re
nothing you’re never gonna be nothing
you came from nothing and you’ll never
get out
you’ll never be loved you’ll never be
happy you’ll never be blessed you’ll
never be free you’ll never get yourself
together you will never be nothing I’ve
enjoyed attacking him all right but the
moment you try to break away from where
you came from and take over new
territory that’s when all hell breaks
loose in your life what you fightin
didn’t start with you go back in your
that devil is interested in you
he’s interested in your territory he’s
interested in your region he’s after
your turf he’s after your stuff there’s
something that you have that he wants
and he didn’t care about you he said I
can use her I can use a pig I give you
the code I can use the dog I can use her
sister I can use his brother I can use
somebody close to them
inside like somebody else in here
handsome lion voices whispering in your
ear telling you what you can’t do it
once it can’t be and what you came had
and if you don’t do it with me it can’t
be done that devil is a lie you beat off
guard
every boy said said you can’t do it you
can have it you can’t be it you’ll never
get up you’ll never survive that want
that thing what’s it out or it ain’t
gonna be no Holyfield fight fight
drop the swab to let you take master you
have accepted some things as normal and
adjusted your way of life to accommodate
something that was never meant to me if
you don’t possess what’s yours
the enemy will possess your leg see when
you start running from one thing you
gonna keep running from everything
that’s why you need to stop running and
face whatever you gotta face and deal
with whatever you got to deal with
because if you run from fable you gonna
run from the serpent you’ll run from the
law you’ll run for life you’ll run from
responsibility you know one run
LAN are you will stop running this is a
marching legion of enemies that are
coming against you to bring you down
[Music]
you think I’m the roll over play dead
while you take all the my stuff to devil
in the right I will fight you battle me
no fancy fight and me now crawling take
it scratch and bite your nose I’ll fight
you we got the lesser wasn’t latinized
but less with you when he got to mess it
up your sister by he’ll after you but I
right here the puppet habit or some
animals in a fight give God a praise
right now and as long as you were
spectator the devil was alright with
that but the moment you start you gotta
you mean you just go sit there and let
the enemy take your stuff you don’t
recognize you’re in a fight see because
most church people don’t know that
they’re in a fight they’ve been saved
but their mentality is so kernel that
they just think stuff happens nothing
just happens everything came from
somewhere everything had a Genesis
everything had a beginning it didn’t
just happen that thing was
against you it was set against you I
don’t care what the doctor says what the
nurse says what the bookkeeper says
account I don’t care what you read in
the Wall Street Journal about the
economy the devil is a lie
that’s weird was sick and you said my
prayer with your dressed up self I could
write well me whatever happens happens
the devil in the line till the devil is
alive you have accepted some things as
normal and adjusted your way of life to
accommodate something that was never
meant to be you mean you just go sit
there and let the enemy take your stuff
take your life take your family take
your son take your daughter take your
grandkids you just go lay
and let him have your job and your
influence have your business you disco
handed over without a fight
you not go fighting nothing you’re not
gonna do spiritual warfare you’re not
gonna fight in the spirit you’re not
gonna go into the you just go live in a
half your territory
you’ve gotta fight for your territory I
don’t care what it is your legs your
arms your toes your kids your company
your finances I don’t care what it is
you gotta fight for your territory you
have to fight to keep the eyesight you
have to fight to keep your energy you
have to fight to give your movement I’ll
be out to fight the stuff that you used
to take for granted by time do you hear
what I’m saying I said I will fight
don’t you think for one minute
Oh fight don’t you think I won’t find
gesture 9:12 of being a wolf fight david
was a boy when he killed the line don’t
don’t give your territory over to them
now in order to have territory you have
to have ownership and the problem with
you is that you might own territory that
you don’t even realize that God has
given you certain things up under your
auspices enough under your authority
that you’ve got to be prepared to fight
for I’ll owe you what I’m saying and
you’re waiting and waiting and you’re
waiting and you’re waiting time does
anybody know what it’s like to be tired
trying to hold your head up but you’re
they can talk to me about tired I don’t
mean the kind of times you get it night
I mean the kind of time where you wake
up tired go to work
tired eat your lunch time and a song
help you rather than be praised alive
and tired and nobody knows that you
tired
some of you don’t understand why you are
so tired right now but you don’t realize
you just counted your workload from what
is happening right now but you have to
remember that the oil started burning
when you started hoping it didn’t just
start when you started doing it started
when you started believing something is
about to happen in my life I’m going to
get up you have to burn some oil to be
able to wait the Bible says they that
wait upon the Lord shall renew that
strip this amount of but weeds like
eagles they shall run and not be weary
they shall walk and not saying you have
to be tough to wait you have to be tough
to work all day and go to school at
night you have to beat
to take two part-time jobs have put it
together and try to make it deal
Oh y’all don’t understand what I’m
talking about you have to be tough to
start a service in a storefront with two
member than to be over hire then you got
you have to be tough
it’s anybody in here that’s gone through
a tough time in your life and you were
waiting on a breakthrough to occur in
your life yeah yeah same place they all
were waiting they all went to sleep you
couldn’t tell who was wise and who was
foolish until the crowd was made the
thing you’ve been waiting on is coming
how you react to challenges tell us
whether you are wise or foolish
[Music]
and you will never completely be healed
or whole until you change the voice
inside of your own and we’re living in
an incredible time that when there’s
nothing that that we can’t do now what
are you gonna do through 2018 you’re
capable of doing phenomenal things but
isn’t it strange people start out with
big ideas and boom something happens and
they crush them why are you here what’s
your reason for being why do you get up
in the morning most people don’t have a
clue and yeah the bills keep a roof over
your head I think we have to reflect on
Who am I why am I here what drives me if
I died today what three words would I
want said about me five died today what
the state were capable of doing so much
more than we do
it’s a decision as always a decision I
want to recommend between now and
January 1 you sit down with your pen and
you say if I give this everything I got
what could I do next year what can I do
in the first quarter the second quarter
the third in the fourth quarter and make
each quarter bigger than the previous
one and you will have a phenomenal year
in life you will always be faced with a
series of god-ordained
opportunities brilliantly disguised as
problems and challenges
[Music]
do not be afraid to fail because that
oftentimes is the thing that keeps us as
women and girls back because we think we
have to be right we think we have to be
perfect we think that we can’t stumble
and the only way you succeed in life the
only way you learn is by failing it’s
not the failure it’s what you do after
you fail you know do you let it each up
do you quit do you give up or do you let
it bolster you and does it serve as as
the challenge in your mind to do more to
take some risks to step outside of your
comfort zone
so I suggest that you spend time working
on yourself study the high achievers I
did that to find out how did they get
there I study the life of Frederick
Douglass it’s that we won’t get
everything that we fight for but
everything we get it will be a fight and
so as you study these people and imagine
yourself in their position and in your
minds I say to yourself as I did if they
can do it I can do it they put their
pants on one leg at a time they breathe
air just as I do and so I believe that
what you would you focus on the longest
becomes a strong is what we think about
we bring about when you train your mind
to serve you by reading a minimum of
twenty to sixty pages a day listening to
audio programs writing goes down
reaching reading them three times a day
you’re literally creating a new mental
blueprint than imagining and seeing
yourself already living from the goal
you begin to do some things that most
people look at it and see it’s magical
you don’t achieve worthwhile goals
quickly or easily they take time they
take struggle they take relentless
pursuit day in and day out that’s what
it takes if you do what is easy your
life will be hard but if you do what is
hard your life
be easy it was hard but we can do hard
all of us have moments in our lives when
things have been thrust upon us and we
have to do hard so if you do what is
easy the life would be hard but if you
do one time your life will be easy and
so don’t give yourself a pass don’t run
away from heart because you can do hot
and through that you discover a part of
yourself that you would not know
otherwise if you go to the gym to
workout then you don’t feel any
discomfort the next day here’s what we
know you haven’t done anything see
whatever goals you said they always have
to be in the front of your mind you
always have to be focused on them every
single day if you want to achieve them
you have to be focused and addicted and
obsessed with what it is you want
constantly you have to always be
thinking about it you know everybody
wants to change the world but nobody
wants to change themselves and you’ve
got to look at yourself every day and
say am i adapted am i moving forward am
i a part of the future or I am I just
sitting and telling stories about the
past look the world will be I don’t know
what the world’s gonna look like in 10
years I wish I did I’d make some
investments and make a lot of money but
the reality is I know one thing for sure
you two look different than it does
today so every day get better be the
best authentic you can be work on
yourself focus on yourself understand
your strengths and weaknesses and find
ways to put yourself in a place where
your strengths are magnified [Music]
see happen this year that you would like
to do for yourself is this the year you
write the book is this the year you quit
your job and you start your own company
is this the year that you doubled sales
is this the year that you make seven
figures
is this the year that you get rid of the
loser that you’ve been with forever
is this the year that you get the but
like what is it for you that you really
want my life changed a couple years ago

turn the tables back on you I want you
to think about where you’ve been I want

right now
so what is it do you know exactly what

and go to bed now the first night you’re
gonna have a hard time going to sleep
what you do is the next morning you wake
up early anyways along the journey
there’s gonna be things that you need to
do but you don’t necessarily want to do
but those things are critical to your
success excellence is an art one by
training and habituation we do not act
rightly because we have virtue or
excellence but rather we have those
because we have acted rightly we are
what we repeatedly do
excellence then is not an act but a
habit the most important thing you can
do is win the morning just win the more
than that I think that’s true for all of
us even high-performance like I I don’t
have my morning routine game I feel you
know out of sorts so I think it’s true
for everybody you gotta own your morning
you gotta women because that starts and
sets up everything else I know you
believe that as well like people need
that discipline those routines that will
help the rest their day go better you
need to focus on doing better every
frickin day or your life if doing better
is not the main thing it will not be a
thing at all
if being successful is not the main
thing it will become nothing to feel
more confident about the things that you
want to do in your next chapter
it begins with being willing to try it
starts with that otherwise you get
trapped in hesitating just stop thinking
whirring looking over your shoulder
hoping for some easy way out stop it and
just do listen to me you got to make a
decision what’s the decision what’s the
decision what have you been hesitating
on what are you afraid of face it right
now what do you need to decide is it
getting aggressive is it believe it in
yourself is it reaching out to somebody
is it a recruit you’ve missed is it
coming full time I don’t know what it is
for you what’s the decision maybe
there’s someone in your life that needed
to get out of your life maybe there’s
someone you need in it and you need tell
them you love them and get them back in
and I don’t know but I know this it’s
only a thought if you don’t take an
action the difference between a thought
and a decision is an action so we know
and you know you just decided and you
here’s the hard truth about getting
great it takes time and dedication it
takes a willingness to accept that
you’re not yet good enough it takes the
ability to stare at the places that you
know that you’re weak to really look at
those things and not let it affect your
sense of self-esteem and not let it
affect your sense of self-worth so that
you can still get the momentum going but
you have to understand that in the
beginning we’re all terrible
and as Henri cartier-bresson said your
first 10,000 photographs are your worst
and so the thing that really makes great
art are the people that continue to push
and the people that continue to work and
face how inadequate they are and really
understand that at the end of the day
greatness is a craft greatness is a
process greatness is a habit greatness
is the little things that you do every
day
overtime going out every day unafraid of
whether or not this is one of the 10,000
terrible things that you’re going to do
it’s being unafraid to make those
mistakes as being unafraid that you’re
not yet great and as Marianne rad maker
said courage doesn’t always war
sometimes courage is the quiet voice at
the end of the day saying I will try
again tomorrow
and that’s it if you want to be great
that’s when you have to do
you’ve got to get up again tomorrow
you’ve got to be willing to face another
day you’ve got to be willing to accept
that you’ve got to get through the bad
ideas before you can get to the good
you’ve got to understand that you have
to start as an apprentice you have to
start as a person going and getting tea
and you have to accept that that’s the
job that you should be playing that you
should be working for somebody else you
should be looking up to somebody else’s
seeing what they can teach you because
what you know is that you’re there to
learn what you know is that you’re there
to get through the ten thousand bad
photographs that you need to get through
to ultimately achieve greatness and if
you make the catastrophic error that’s
so many make to try to tell them all of
your extraordinary today to try to get
the world to follow you and look up to
you and think you’re something today
because the people that really win are
the ones that
today the ones that listen today the
ones that spend every ounce of their
energy amassing mastery getting better
every day working their asses off to
improve their skill set to relentlessly
look at the things that they’re not
doing well to understand that they have
to break themselves down and get rid of
all of their ego before they can really
find greatness those are the people that
we remember we don’t think we’re wired
or programmed to do something great well
I’m telling you that thought is nothing
but a fear nothing but a doubt it’s what
holds you in place you got to work hard
on understanding you have within you the
power to change the power to do
something great and those fears are
gonna crop up particularly in the middle
of the night when you wake up and you’re
scared to death about what to do they’re
gonna crop up and they’re gonna hold you
in place quite often if you’re trying
something different they crop up in the
middle of your dreams when you’re asleep
at night those fears and doubts creep in
understand they’re not real they are
things in your head that have been
programmed into you by your past life
wrestle with those fears you’ll never
conquer them but control and go out and
live the life you deserve choose to win
control your thinking and go win be
too often we make our plans without
consulting God then we ask him to bless
those plans we wonder why it’s a
struggle why it feels like it’s always
uphill we have it backwards we’re making
a move and then asking God for help the
right way is to ask God first God what
do you want me to do should I date this
person should I start this new project
should I make this purchase if you feel
peace about it then move forward if not
hold on knowing that God knows what’s
best for you the difference between
successful people and people that
struggle are successful people exude joy
other people may try to disapprove you
don’t go around feeling less than
feeling inferior our attitude should be
I am approved by Almighty God I am
accepted I am a masterpiece when you
talk like that the seeds of greatness
God’s placed on the inside will begin to
spring forward see you have gifts and
talents that you’ve not yet tapped into
there is a treasure on the inside
throughout life the enemy will do his
best to try to keep it pushed down he
doesn’t want us to reach our full
potential that’s why there are forces
constantly trying to make us feel
intimidated inferior unqualified if
you’re going to fulfill your destiny
you’ve got to shake off the negative
voices shake off the thoughts that are
telling you I am unable I am unqualified
no don’t invite weakness in don’t give
intimidation and invitation the mistake
that we all make
is that we tend to focus on something
way too big and that gap can start to be
the thing that makes you feel lost we
live in a society that’s filled with a
lot of negative chatter through the
internet social media it’s becoming
normal to be disrespectful people think
nothing of being condescending saying
hurtful critical things more than ever
people need your healing words you have
the power to put someone on their feet
you have the power to keep them from
falling into depression you have the
power to cause them to pursue their
dreams but without your blessing without
your encouragement your compliments they
won’t become what they should become
don’t miss these opportunities don’t be
too caught up in your career in your
challenges take time to be a healer to
be a lifter God needs you he has no
voice to encourage on this earth except
your voice I’m the kind of person that
believes you should always make
decisions with your heart and soul you
can use your brain for math you can use
your brain to look at the fine print in
a contract but when it comes to the
actual feel of the decision you always
want to go inward and check it against
your heart and soul how do you do that
here’s the simple test does the decision
that you’re about to make expand you
expand your future or expand the
possibilities of your life if the answer
is yes then the decision is yes no
matter how terrifying it is
I want to remind us all reminder to me
but also to you that doing is what
matters now you know I want to explain
maybe I’ll talk about a couple of points
one I’m not suggesting that you do no
planning and what I am suggesting is
that you do
way less planning because the planning
is the thing that can act as a crutch
it’s it’s motion but no progress you
have to work if you want to succeed but
the truth is you have to be working at
the right things at the right
opportunity too many of us spend our
whole life poor in time energy effort
and work into something that’s going to
make somebody else wealthy or make
somebody else success you have to choose
where you put your efforts so be the
best authentic you can be work on
yourself focus on yourself understand
your strengths and weaknesses and find
ways to put yourself in a place where
your strengths are magnified when you
get up in the morning don’t focus on all
your flaws look in the mirror and dare
to say I am beautiful I am young I am
vibrant I am confident I am secure what
you have accomplished so far is only a
fraction of what’s truly possible
for you you are far more powerful
capable and gifted than you allow
yourself to be the only thing separating
you from your grandest vision of your
life is courage muster the courage to
declare that right now this year is your
turning point make a decision when the
clock strikes midnight next year you’ll
be able to look back at this moment and
this year as your pivotal turning point
for the dream life you’ll be enjoying
I’ve enjoyed convincing is that you’re
nothing you’re never gonna be nothing
you came from nothing and you’ll never
get out
you’ll never be loved you’ll never be
happy you’ll never be blessed you’ll
never be free you’ll never get yourself
together you will never be nothing I’ve
enjoyed attacking him all right but the
moment you try to break away from where
you came from and take over new
territory that’s when all hell breaks
loose in your life what you fightin
didn’t start with you go back in your
that devil is interested in you
he’s interested in your territory he’s
interested in your region he’s after
your turf he’s after your stuff there’s
something that you have that he wants
and he didn’t care about you he said I
can use her I can use a pig I give you
the code I can use the dog I can use her
sister I can use his brother I can use
somebody close to them
inside like somebody else in here
handsome lion voices whispering in your
ear telling you what you can’t do it
once it can’t be and what you came had
and if you don’t do it with me it can’t
be done that devil is a lie you beat off
guard
every boy said said you can’t do it you
can have it you can’t be it you’ll never
get up you’ll never survive that want
that thing what’s it out or it ain’t
gonna be no Holyfield fight fight
drop the swab to let you take master you
have accepted some things as normal and
adjusted your way of life to accommodate
something that was never meant to me if
you don’t possess what’s yours
the enemy will possess your leg see when
you start running from one thing you
gonna keep running from everything
that’s why you need to stop running and
face whatever you gotta face and deal
with whatever you got to deal with
because if you run from fable you gonna
run from the serpent you’ll run from the
law you’ll run for life you’ll run from
responsibility you know one run
LAN are you will stop running this is a
marching legion of enemies that are
coming against you to bring you down
[Music]
you think I’m the roll over play dead
while you take all the my stuff to devil
in the right I will fight you battle me
no fancy fight and me now crawling take
it scratch and bite your nose I’ll fight
you we got the lesser wasn’t latinized
but less with you when he got to mess it
up your sister by he’ll after you but I
right here the puppet habit or some
animals in a fight give God a praise
right now and as long as you were
spectator the devil was alright with
that but the moment you start you gotta
you mean you just go sit there and let
the enemy take your stuff you don’t
recognize you’re in a fight see because
most church people don’t know that
they’re in a fight they’ve been saved
but their mentality is so kernel that
they just think stuff happens nothing
just happens everything came from
somewhere everything had a Genesis
everything had a beginning it didn’t
just happen that thing was
against you it was set against you I
don’t care what the doctor says what the
nurse says what the bookkeeper says
account I don’t care what you read in
the Wall Street Journal about the
economy the devil is a lie
that’s weird was sick and you said my
prayer with your dressed up self I could
write well me whatever happens happens
the devil in the line till the devil is
alive you have accepted some things as
normal and adjusted your way of life to
accommodate something that was never
meant to be you mean you just go sit
there and let the enemy take your stuff
take your life take your family take
your son take your daughter take your
grandkids you just go lay
and let him have your job and your
influence have your business you disco
handed over without a fight
you not go fighting nothing you’re not
gonna do spiritual warfare you’re not
gonna fight in the spirit you’re not
gonna go into the you just go live in a
half your territory
you’ve gotta fight for your territory I
don’t care what it is your legs your
arms your toes your kids your company
your finances I don’t care what it is
you gotta fight for your territory you
have to fight to keep the eyesight you
have to fight to keep your energy you
have to fight to give your movement I’ll
be out to fight the stuff that you used
to take for granted by time do you hear
what I’m saying I said I will fight
don’t you think for one minute
Oh fight don’t you think I won’t find
gesture 9:12 of being a wolf fight david
was a boy when he killed the line don’t
don’t give your territory over to them
now in order to have territory you have
to have ownership and the problem with
you is that you might own territory that
you don’t even realize that God has
given you certain things up under your
auspices enough under your authority
that you’ve got to be prepared to fight
for I’ll owe you what I’m saying and
you’re waiting and waiting and you’re
waiting and you’re waiting time does
anybody know what it’s like to be tired
trying to hold your head up but you’re
they can talk to me about tired I don’t
mean the kind of times you get it night
I mean the kind of time where you wake
up tired go to work
tired eat your lunch time and a song
help you rather than be praised alive
and tired and nobody knows that you
tired
some of you don’t understand why you are
so tired right now but you don’t realize
you just counted your workload from what
is happening right now but you have to
remember that the oil started burning
when you started hoping it didn’t just
start when you started doing it started
when you started believing something is
about to happen in my life I’m going to
get up you have to burn some oil to be
able to wait the Bible says they that
wait upon the Lord shall renew that
strip this amount of but weeds like
eagles they shall run and not be weary
they shall walk and not saying you have
to be tough to wait you have to be tough
to work all day and go to school at
night you have to beat
to take two part-time jobs have put it
together and try to make it deal
Oh y’all don’t understand what I’m
talking about you have to be tough to
start a service in a storefront with two
member than to be over hire then you got
you have to be tough
it’s anybody in here that’s gone through
a tough time in your life and you were
waiting on a breakthrough to occur in
your life yeah yeah same place they all
were waiting they all went to sleep you
couldn’t tell who was wise and who was
foolish until the crowd was made the
thing you’ve been waiting on is coming
how you react to challenges tell us
whether you are wise or foolish
[Music]
and you will never completely be healed
or whole until you change the voice
inside of your own and we’re living in
an incredible time that when there’s
nothing that that we can’t do now what
are you gonna do through 2018 you’re
capable of doing phenomenal things but
isn’t it strange people start out with
big ideas and boom something happens and
they crush them why are you here what’s
your reason for being why do you get up
in the morning most people don’t have a
clue and yeah the bills keep a roof over
your head I think we have to reflect on
Who am I why am I here what drives me if
I died today what three words would I
want said about me five died today what
the state were capable of doing so much
more than we do
it’s a decision as always a decision I
want to recommend between now and
January 1 you sit down with your pen and
you say if I give this everything I got
what could I do next year what can I do
in the first quarter the second quarter
the third in the fourth quarter and make
each quarter bigger than the previous
one and you will have a phenomenal year
in life you will always be faced with a
series of god-ordained
opportunities brilliantly disguised as
problems and challenges
[Music]
do not be afraid to fail because that
oftentimes is the thing that keeps us as
women and girls back because we think we
have to be right we think we have to be
perfect we think that we can’t stumble
and the only way you succeed in life the
only way you learn is by failing it’s
not the failure it’s what you do after
you fail you know do you let it each up
do you quit do you give up or do you let
it bolster you and does it serve as as
the challenge in your mind to do more to
take some risks to step outside of your
comfort zone
so I suggest that you spend time working
on yourself study the high achievers I
did that to find out how did they get
there I study the life of Frederick
Douglass it’s that we won’t get
everything that we fight for but
everything we get it will be a fight and
so as you study these people and imagine
yourself in their position and in your
minds I say to yourself as I did if they
can do it I can do it they put their
pants on one leg at a time they breathe
air just as I do and so I believe that
what you would you focus on the longest
becomes a strong is what we think about
we bring about when you train your mind
to serve you by reading a minimum of
twenty to sixty pages a day listening to
audio programs writing goes down
reaching reading them three times a day
you’re literally creating a new mental
blueprint than imagining and seeing
yourself already living from the goal
you begin to do some things that most
people look at it and see it’s magical
you don’t achieve worthwhile goals
quickly or easily they take time they
take struggle they take relentless
pursuit day in and day out that’s what
it takes if you do what is easy your
life will be hard but if you do what is
hard your life
be easy it was hard but we can do hard
all of us have moments in our lives when
things have been thrust upon us and we
have to do hard so if you do what is
easy the life would be hard but if you
do one time your life will be easy and
so don’t give yourself a pass don’t run
away from heart because you can do hot
and through that you discover a part of
yourself that you would not know
otherwise if you go to the gym to
workout then you don’t feel any
discomfort the next day here’s what we
know you haven’t done anything see
whatever goals you said they always have
to be in the front of your mind you
always have to be focused on them every
single day if you want to achieve them
you have to be focused and addicted and
obsessed with what it is you want
constantly you have to always be
thinking about it you know everybody
wants to change the world but nobody
wants to change themselves and you’ve
got to look at yourself every day and
say am i adapted am i moving forward am
i a part of the future or I am I just
sitting and telling stories about the
past look the world will be I don’t know
what the world’s gonna look like in 10
years I wish I did I’d make some
investments and make a lot of money but
the reality is I know one thing for sure
you two look different than it does
today so every day get better be the
best authentic you can be work on
yourself focus on yourself understand
your strengths and weaknesses and find
ways to put yourself in a place where
your strengths are magnified [Music]
