Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are, guys on this Monday, our
last break of the day. This is it.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I have some closing remarks today. I was thinking about
something and I said, wow, you know what, man, I
want to share this with people because I had to
readjust my thinking and once I did that, it changed

(00:29):
my success process. And I often hear people making excuses
for why they're not successful. So my closing remarks today
is to help you with that part of it. Right here.
Listen to this, y'all. It's an adjustment. It's a mental
adjustment that you have to make. It's a slight change
in the way you're saying things. So here's what I'm

(00:53):
saying to you. Stop making excuses why not to me carefully,
stop making excuses why not, and make those excuses your
why too. See I've thought about this thing, man, Most

(01:13):
of the excuses that I've heard from myself and from
other people. If you took those same excuses that you're
using as why you're not accomplishing something, why you're not
doing something, why you're not successful, if you took those
same excuses and turn them around and made those excuses

(01:36):
your why too, it would be a game changer. See,
you need reasons why you should be successful. That's what
you need. You don't need excuses. You need to find
reasons why you should be successful. Listen, If your excuse

(01:58):
is i'm poor, well I would do this, but I
ain't gotten i'm poor. That's a good reason that you
should use to make more money. See, the thing that
you're using as the excuse should oftentimes become the reason
or the motivation if you think about it. But it's

(02:19):
up to you now you have to make that adjustment.
So if you're sick and tired of being poor, that's
a good reason to want to be motivated to make
a little bit more money. Now, if your excuse is
I don't know the right people. Ever heard that before? Man?
I just tay, I just don't know that I ain't

(02:39):
meant the right people, then that's why you need to
start associating with a new group. See, you not knowing
the right people can't be the excuse. It has to
be the reason for you to do something else. You
need to start associating with a new group. You know something.
It's easy to meet people, It really is. It's just

(03:00):
easy to meet people. You've met all the people you know,
how hard was it? You just went to where they
was doing a certain thing and you was participating in
that certain thing, and then they became an associate of yours.
You have to change that. You have to use those
same reasons why not to turn them into the reason
why to Your excuse is no one ever taught me how? Well,

(03:28):
if nobody ever taught you how, then don't you think
that's a good reason that you need to train and
educate yourself. See that excuse of nobody ever taught me how?
So what they got the internet? Now? You know you
can google anything. If ain't nobody ever taught you how?
This is a perfect time for you to train and

(03:48):
educate yourself. Stop using these excuses for why not and
get these reasons and use them as the why too.
If your excuse is your fan, your excuse is your family.
My family, this my family. That excuse me? Get some friends. See,

(04:12):
you actually get to pick your friends. You were born
into the family, and if you were born into the
wrong family, pick yourself some friends. Association brings all participation
my family. I'll love them to death, but I can
only go so far with them. We can only talk
about certain things. We got to stop the conversation ins

(04:33):
because they're not going where I'm going. They don't want
what I want. Now, I got some other friends I
can bring all these subjects up to So stop using
the excuse that, well, it's my family. Skip your family,
get yourself some friends. You get to pick those people.
I don't know what to do next. That's your excuse. Well,

(04:56):
that would be a good time to develop a relationship
with God, wouldn't you say? If you don't ever know
what to do next, if you're stuck because you don't
know what to do next, this excuse is a good
reason to develop a relationship with God, because guess what,
I bet he know what to do next. Trust me,
I've had to turn that way many times. I'll be

(05:18):
turning that way today. I don't know how. I don't
know how I'm gonna do that. I just don't know
how I'm gonna do it. Then, guess what, This is
a good reason for you to use your faith. I
don't know how, I don't see how. I don't see

(05:38):
how I'm gonna make that happen. Well, you need to
develop your faith. Faith is the belief in things you
cannot see. I didn't see my life I have today,
but I faith it. I believe that I would have
some type of life, and then He messed around and
gave me exceedingly and abundantly over all. I thought, I asked,
that's the beautiful thing about that relationship with God? And

(05:59):
that's how about It's right, I don't have a plan. Well,
if you don't have a plan, guess what you need
to dream? You need to dream about something to put
a plan too. Stop using your excuses why not and
take those same excuses and make it your why to
come on, y'all, it's a mental adjustment. All you have

(06:22):
to do is change the way you think from negative
to positive, and the results immediately will follow. It's automatically
done that way. Thank you for listening, And if you
didn't listen, it's okay too. I'll have something else tomorrow,
maybe at a hit home. Y'all, have a nice day.
See you tomorrow. Talk to God. He loved to hear

(06:44):
from me.
