We are old and should retire it's been a long season but mentally we have a we
have a vision we have a finish that we have to attain you know and sometimes
you have to do it when you old and you're tired you know and I think it's
the test of your will to succeed when you have to deal with some of these
negatives and I'm pretty sure you know by the end of this playoffs you see the
old and the tired people were very very young and strong mentally you know most
people and and here's the irony is that most people don't have a compelling
vision for their own future they don't they move through life setting goals and
goals have no power we're almost we were at this point your goals on Power 1959
when Earl Nightingale came his idea of goal setting and it was like wow I'm a
goal oriented person and that was great it worked like 20 years everyone set
goals and they and they got results but then all of a sudden you know you set
goals and sometimes you hit them sometimes you know most times you don't
okay that's okay but goals almost became a synonym for like oh I'm gonna set a
goal who gives it really happens afterwards and it almost is synonymous
with failure now goal-setting there's something above and I believe in setting
goals but there's got to be something above your goals and that's your vision
for the future and it's not just about it doesn't have like an ending points
about the world being a certain way and that's inspiring to you and you when you
truly have a vision for your future that inspires you you're gonna jump up out of
bed in the morning and feel great about going at life versus being miserable and
going to a job you hate or living a life that doesn't empower you and just you
know every day moving through just almost like an automaton not really you
know having the zest and the great the greatness of life and I'm joking I've
been there myself when I felt like I didn't really have a compelling vision
for my own future and I felt like I was wallowing but at least I'm conscious of
that once you become conscious of that you can consciously create a vision for
your future it doesn't happen in once in one minute or an hour you write it down
you work on until it I mean you finally hit on it you know you know you got it
when you really fact yourself your vision statement and it moves you and
you feel speier okay and you know so people have
that and and what happens is every human being is thirsty for a vision everyone
is and so few people happen to what I do they gravitate towards someone who has a
vision for the future because they want to be a part of her vision part of being
a great entrepreneur is having that vision be able to create the vision and
then sell that vision to other people to get them to want to be inspired to buy
into it to put in their time their hard work their elbow grease to help you
achieve your vision if you're a small firm then you spread the wealth around
it's a it's a win-win for everybody you got to have a vision a vision for what
it is you really truly want not what you think you want or what you should have I
mean one of most people's New Year's resolutions I'm gonna stop eating sugar
you know I'm gonna stop smoking I'm gonna lose 10 pounds problem with that
is it's not very inspiring for most people you know it's not telling you
what you're gonna get it's only what you're not gonna do and it's kind of
hard to have you move forward with that a vision is about what you're here to
create a vision that really works is one that excites you if you say well mine
you know my resolution my goal my outcome for this month this week this
year is to lose X number of pounds that's okay but it's not very compelling
it has to be a compelling vision it's gotta have something has the power to
pull you not something you have to push yourself to do those are two different
kinds of motivation push requires willpower and willpower never lasts what
will last is pull having something so exciting so attractive so some of you
desire so much that you have a hard time going to sleep at night and get so up
early in the morning to rock it and take it to the next level that's what you're
looking at great and that wasn't easy to get but one of the reasons we do
seminars and events to be saying you know why do that why isn't why not just
read a book or something is because when you give it an environment where you
with people that are being put in a peak state like when you're going to a
sporting event if you watch the sporting event at home it might have a certain
level of excitement but when you're in a stadium with 50,000 people suddenly it
has a whole different level of intensity when we feel that and the bottom line of
our follow-through comes down to our emotional intensity in a different state
of mind you're gonna come up with a bunch
better and more exciting vision than if you're sitting the couch gun okay one of
my new resolutions for this year and you're doing it the morning after the
new year started and you're a little inebriated and the football games on in
the background probably not gonna have the power of focus they're probably not
gonna have the power the energy to create something that's gonna pull you
for this year and you got to do that so it's got to be a vision that's
compelling something that you know it's going to be a gift to make sure that it
happens how many of you thought about some
things that you know that you deserve or you want out of life where you would
like to your experience and you found yourself blocking your separation and
it's never happened to you before all right very good here's what I want you
to shake somebody's hand on your the right and your left and here's what I
want you to say whatever you're seeking it's seeking you you can have it give
yourselves a round of applause
now the reason I brought that up is I was riding with a friend the other day
and I know this friend of mine who has been working on a job where she's been
miserable for a long time she was telling me about how she was miserable
on the job at home how she was so unhappy so I said if there's if it's
that stressful and if it's causing you that much pain I say why don't you just
quit and do something else and she said something that really put her in the
chorus line with a lot of other people she said I would but and then I started
to thinking about that so let me take a poll so I started talking to other
people and I would ask them what they were doing and I said but is that your
passion and they would say no I said then what's your real passion and they
would tell me what their real passion was then I said well then why aren't you
doing what you really want to do oh I can do it but and they would continue on
so this word you know but just kept on coming up and then it also has some
friends like water and cooter and sugar and one day I'm gonna have my own
business those people will talk about one day I'm going on some of y'all know
some of those one day I'm going to people raise your hand some of you get
up in the morning look in the mirror that person I just ease it I'll just
ease all right so how is it that many times we block ourselves and we use
these words almost like we're in a trance like with sleepwalking through
life that we find ways to cancel out our dreams and I think that but is a dream
killer then 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 fuck and
we build 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 blood 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's 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 a corporation for 30 or 40
years they'll give you a 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 inside I'm ready to
get on with my life shake somebody's hand on your riding off a guy named Bob
Mays say and say don't let nobody turn your on 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 all my bills paid when I get my feet on the ground I
say what have you been walking on see there's no problem free 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 build a
case on 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 was saying to a guy the
other day who was saying he I said how old are youse 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 me how old are you I'm 47 47 yes and you
can't read or write yes have you ever heard of adults cool 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 classroom 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 two haven't
even challenged himself he hasn't even gone to sit into a class and say teach
me how to read and stand it's been easier for him to go through life he
thinks trying to play a whole card 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 that really will tell you some true
stories about 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
let me get within walking distance of some peanuts some potato chips say I was
pretending that I really wanted to lose weight no idea just watch what I eat
that tell you what I'm seriously committed to people tell you all year
one day I want to have a restaurant see they're pretending they want to go into
business well them said they're not serious how can you tell let's watch
their actions 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 strengthen yourself there whatever training is required that
you're going to go get that training but you're gonna get started right now the
George Washington Carver would say do what you can where you are with what you
have and never be satisfied yes be fully used to say are you heard Joe Doug to
talk about always strive 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 what they do most people go through
life quietly and safely tiptoe in turn early grave find out what it is you want
and go after it as if your life depends 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 buts
what are the 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 but they're not here today oh you can wait but you know
whatever have Linkin said well good things might come to those who - who
wait but all of the things that have been left over by those who hustle
some want to go through life thinking of leftovers you deserve much more than
that the leftovers that somebody has left you so take it head on beginning to
explore it 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 don't
even know 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 all right you've 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 lolly said you know what I think I just
want to be a chef he said after working there people that show up the working it
says hard to find the help people weren't responsible they headaches the
guest was just giving him problems day in and day out they were never satisfied
he said no I just think I should stick to cooking so you're gonna find out what
fits for you because you might decide after you go up in there and examine it
experience it and and get some experience on the about wonder well you
say 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 is 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 day care 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 idea 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 to your grave 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 how they 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
what is it she said he's not more to me
