I would like to talk to you tonight
about the power of a vision I take you
on a journey 1994 this seven year old
boy was playing outside one day and he
noticed that he had developed a bump
under his own he was playing around he
for the first day he told us our father
he said I can’t put my arm down and he
was you know at most fathers when their
boy come up me tell you you like it go
out and play garden play ain’t nothing
wrong with you so he came back in the
next day and he told his grandmother who
was his caretaker at the time he said I
can’t put my arm down the kind of hurts
right here we’re not on when I running
play
so she eventually took him to the
hospital in st. Mary’s in Athens Georgia
and they de felt they found out he had
early signs of Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer
now that little boy at seven years old
he didn’t really know he was sick he
would play he get he just kept asking
his grandmother why can I go outside and
play he couldn’t jump on the trampoline
like the rest of the kids he couldn’t go
outside cause his body was always hurt
he developed he was shaking because he
had chills all the time from the
chemotherapy and a lot of pain this
child just kept like I don’t understand
I can’t see myself as sick most most
kids they you know when you have cancer
and you’re going through chemotherapy
and radiation you lose your hair this
child didn’t even lose his hair when he
was going through chemotherapy so he
kept looking outside and he would wonder
why my grandmother would say because
this guy is me he would say no you can’t
go outside like the rest of the kids we
have to keep you inside and you have to
take these 14 bottles of pills and
things like this and take shots in your
arm but their kid kept visualizing
and you know but they’re saying
grandmother that one and today she tells
him all the time you are living
testimony you should share your story
and as he goes throughout life he just
hears that that boy stood his head from
her saying that you can be anything that
you want to be in this world if you
visualize yourself doing it so as he
goes throughout this world he says and
the little child he was seven years old
he was he was dancing from the
television mimicked TV shows and things
of that nature and recite one of the
things you like to recite to his
grandmother make her laugh out of town
with the movie Friday so as he would
recite the movie tour and the first
scene was young with the spoon that’s
actually talking to the first scene and
he was just kept recited to his
grandmother and she would laugh every
time he said he told her he said grandma
one day I’m gonna take care of you one
day I’m gonna do something and I’m gonna
be on the TV television I’m gonna take
care of you and it’s funny how you see
that you think back on your life and
you’re like man now I’ve actually been
on this episode of banshee where I was
on TV and I’m actually taking care of my
grandmother it starts for a thought of
vision and as a coach today is I lose my
first year coaching high school football
I see a lot of kids around 14 15 16 year
old and they living in poverty-stricken
environments I actually have one kid who
we went to his house and he’s struggling
with his grades he actually had we’ve
been in school like two months now he
had six FS in his classroom and we’re
asking the child like what’s going on
trying to mentor him and see what’s
happening he says I can’t see myself out
so as coaches we often tell the players
to look and visualize themselves making
a play
visualize themselves being the
difference maker in this game so my
question to you is what are you
visualizing in your life to make a
difference in this world anything that
you have placed in your mind to do and
you have that in your in the inner part
of you that’s keep egging at you that’s
your vision all we work in the vision
are you working your vision the first
thing you have to do with your vision is
invest in your vision by invested in
your vision see I’m an actor I begin
when I own my wife actually we were in
college the first time I did my audition
and we were was just I said I kind of
get something I do something I got to
create my own way because sometimes we
have to create our own opportunities
opportunity is not just gonna come to
you at all the time so you have to
create an opportunity so I said okay
well Tyler Perry’s have this little
talent search and I’m going to just do
some kind of monologue I just did
Antwone Fisher monologue and then I
agent actually saw this monologue and
she called me into the office and
audition for and they’re not signed with
the agent but it all started from a
thought a vision so as we end we gotta
you got to trust the process as well
with the vision we’re gonna go through
things in our lives that make us doubt
our vision but you have to stress no
matter what you go through like when I
had when their little boy had to see was
7 year old with cancer he kept telling
himself I’m not sick I’m not sick I used
to saying hey my grandmother raised me a
church so when I was younger I was in
the hospital bed and I remember it like
it was yesterday I kept saying Jesus
just like you said
can the spiritual songs just kept saying
just like you said and she was sit over
there crying didn’t understand why you
cry why are you crying Graham I’m not
sick now look and she said she last
about today even though at 75 years old
she actually has to mention right now
and she tells me now I’m not sick so as
we trust the process we have to begin to
work our vision what are you doing and
you’ve already invested in yourself if
your actor you’re taking acting classes
you’re going you’re sending headshots
off you’re doing anything like that to
invest in your vision the next thing you
do is you work with the vision now you
begin to go out and work your vision how
do I work my vision I just I don’t know
how to work with vision you work your
vision by now that you can invest it you
go out and you start doing the vision
okay I don’t have the biggest money I
don’t have most one in the world if I
want to be actor and all that’s life
stuff well we have this thing that if
you’ve seen these Instagram people they
wear their Instagram comedians now
they’re make you laugh in 50 seconds you
we have the world and I hand now when I
cellphone we have movies that are being
filmed off of iPhones so we have the
technologies that we have today is helps
us invest and work our vision so my
question to do to you today is are you
doing everything in your power to work your vision thank you
